WHEREAS, on the date hereof the Lender made two loans to SofTech, Inc. (the “Borrower”) pursuant to that certain (i) $2,900,000 Term Note, dated as of the date herein (the “Term Note”), (ii) $300,000 Revolving Line of Credit Note, date as of the date herein (the “Revolving Note”), (iii) Loan, Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of the date herein (the “Loan Agreement”), and (iii) other Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement).


WHEREAS, in partial consideration for, and as an inducement to the Lender to extend credit under the Loan Documents, Personal Guarantor executed that certain Guaranty Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Personal Guaranty").   To secure his guaranty the Personal Guarantor agreed to pledge all of his equity interests in the Borrower, all of his equity interests in Act 3 Technologies, LLC (“Act 3”) and grant a security interest in and lien on certain collateral related to that certain Advisory Agreement, dated as of the date herein by and between the Personal Guarantor and Greenleaf Capital, Inc. (“Greenleaf Capital”).

 

WHEREAS, the Personal Guarantor is a shareholder of Borrower, and as such shall receive substantial benefits from Lender’s loan to Borrower under the Loan Documents. The Personal Guarantor acknowledges that Lender would not have made loans to Borrower and entered into the Loan Documents but for Personal Guarantor’s execution of the Personal Guaranty and this Personal Guaranty Security Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of this Personal Guarantor Security Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

7.8  

The Lender may demand, collect and sue for all amounts owed pursuant to Accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper or for proceeds of any Pledged Shares or Personal Guarantor Collateral (either in the Personal Guarantor’ names or the Lender's name at the latter's option), with the right to enforce, compromise, settle or discharge any such amounts in its sole and absolute discretion.


7.9

[Reserved].


7.10

During a continuing Event of Default, the Personal Guarantor authorizes the Lender to collect and apply against the Indebtedness when due any cash or deposit accounts in Lender’s possession, and any refund of insurance premiums or any insurance proceeds payable on account of the loss or damage to any of the Personal Guarantor Collateral and irrevocably appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact to endorse any check or draft or take other action necessary to obtain such funds.

The Personal Guarantor’ waivers under this Section have been made voluntarily, intelligently and knowingly and after the Personal Guarantor has been apprised and counseled by its attorneys as to the nature thereof and its possible alternative rights.


7.16

The Personal Guarantor recognize that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Pledged Shares by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), so that Lender may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Shares for their own account, for investment and without a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  The Personal Guarantor understand that private sales so made may be at prices and on other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Pledged Shares were sold at public sales, and agrees that Lender has no obligation to delay the sale of any of the Pledged Shares for the period of time necessary (even if Lender would agree), to register such securities for sale under the Act.  Personal Guarantor agrees that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.




6




7.17

After the sale of any of the Pledged Shares and/or Personal Guarantor Collateral, Lender may deduct all reasonable fees and expenses, including without limitation attorney’s fees, for preserving, collecting, selling and delivering the Pledged Shares, and for enforcing its rights with respect to the Indebtedness, and shall apply the residue of the proceeds to the Indebtedness in such manner as Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine, and shall pay the balance, if any to Personal Guarantor.


SECTION 8

No Waiver, Remedies Cumulative.   No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under the Personal Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are in addition to any other remedies provided by law, any Loan Document or otherwise.
