SECTION 7

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants and so long as this Agreement is in effect or any part of the Indebtedness remains unpaid, shall continue to warrant at all times, that:

7.1 Borrower. Borrower is a corporation duly formed and validly existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Nevada and duly qualified to transact business in the State of Florida. Borrower holds in full force and effect all material permits, licenses, and franchises necessary for it to carry out its operations in conformity with all applicable laws and regulations of the States of Nevada and Florida.

7.2 Financial Statements. Borrower has heretofore made available to Lender its most recent Financial Statements and other pertinent financial information. All of those Financial Statements fairly represent the financial condition of the Borrower and the result of its operations as of the date of the balance sheets and income and surplus statements, all of which were prepared in accordance with generally-accepted accounting principles.

7.3 Changes in Financial Condition. Since the date that Borrower has applied for the loan, there has been no material adverse change in the assets or the financial condition of Borrower from that set forth or reflected in the Financial Statements as of that date or for the period then ended.

7.4 Legal or Administrative. There are no actions, suits or proceedings by any public or governmental body, agency or authority or litigation by any Person, or by any public or governmental body, agency, or authority pending or threatened against Borrower or to which it is a party involving the possibility of any judgment or liability not fully covered by insurance or by adequate reserves set upon the books of Borrower, or which may result in any material adverse change in the business or in the condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower, and, to the best of the knowledge and belief of Borrower, it has materially complied with all applicable laws and requirements of governmental authorities.

7.5 Assets. Borrower has good, marketable title to all of its assets reflected in the Financial Statements and such assets are free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances except for Permitted Liens.

7.6 Loss. Since the date of the Financial Statements already delivered to Lender, no substantial loss, damage, destruction or taking of any of the physical properties or assets of Borrower has occurred which has not been fully restored or replaced, or which is not fully covered by insurance. Borrower is not aware of any material adverse fact or likelihood concerning its condition or future prospects which has not been fully disclosed in writing to Lender.

7.7 Corporate Restrictions. Borrower is not a party to any contract or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which would materially and adversely affect its property or business, or its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

7.8 Tax Returns. Borrower has filed all Federal, State and local tax returns which are required to be filed and has paid all taxes as shown on the returns and all assessments received by it to the extent that the taxes have become due other than taxes being contested in good faith.

7.9 Purpose of Borrowing. None of the proceeds of the loan by Lender will be used for the purpose of reducing or carrying any margin security or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry a margin security or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U, as now in effect or as it may hereafter be amended, and all such proceeds shall be used for normal business purposes.

 

11


7.10 Authority. Borrower has full authority to enter into the Loan Documents and carry out all terms thereof and all required approvals or consents of the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Borrower and all other Persons have been obtained.

7.11 Payment of Loan Proceeds. Lender is authorized to disburse all proceeds of any loan to Borrower hereunder directly to Borrower by depositing such proceeds in Borrower’s account with Lender.

SECTION 8

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

If any of the following events shall occur and be continuing then there shall be an Event of Default:

(i) If Borrower defaults in the payment of any principal or interest under the Note and such payment remains uncured for five (5) days after due date or defaults in payment of principal or interest under any other obligation owed to Lender after the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure periods; or

(ii) If Borrower defaults in any payment of principal of or interest on any other Obligation for borrowed money in excess of $25,000 beyond any period of grace provided with respect thereto, or in the performance of any other material agreement, term, or condition contained in any agreement under which any such Obligation is created and either (A) such default continues beyond maturity of the Obligation (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or (B) the effect of such default is to cause, or permit the holder or holders of such Obligation (or trustee on behalf of such holder or holders) to cause such Obligation or any part thereof to become due prior to its stated maturity; or

(iii) If any representation or warranty made by Borrower herein or in any writing furnished in connection with or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be false or misleading in any material respect; or

(iv) If Borrower defaults in the performance or observance of any other agreement, covenant, term or condition contained herein or in any other Loan Document and such default shall not have been remedied within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is sent by Lender to Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower reasonably cannot perform or comply with any such obligation within such thirty (30) day period, the Borrower may have such additional time to rectify such failure as may be reasonably required provided and for so long as Borrower continuously proceeds with due diligence, not to exceed sixty (60) days provided Lender does not deem itself insecure; or

(v) If a proceeding or case shall be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction, seeking (a) the liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding-up, or recomposition or readjustment of debts of Borrower, or (b) the appointment of a trustee, receiver, custodian, liquidator or the like of Borrower under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up, or composition or adjustment of debts, without the consent of Borrower and such proceedings or case shall continue undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days, or an order, judgment or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered and continue unstayed and in effect, for a period of sixty (60) days, or an order for relief against Borrower shall be entered in an involuntary case under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (as now or hereafter in effect); or

(vi) If Borrower shall (a) apply for or consent to the appointment of, or the taking possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (b) admit in writing its inability, or be generally unable, to pay its debts as such debts become due, (c) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors (d) commence a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or (e) take any corporate action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or

 

12


(vii) If any final, non-appealable order is entered in any proceeding against Borrower or any part of their assets for an amount in excess of $25,000.00 and the judgment is not satisfied within thirty (30) days thereafter; or

(viii) If there is a default under the terms of the Loan Documents, Security Agreement, or under the Permitted Liens beyond any applicable notice and cure periods; or

(ix) If a material adverse change occurs in the business or financial condition of Borrower or any Guarantor from time to time obligated to Lender with respect to the Loan.

(x) If Borrower shall default in the due observance or performance of any of its covenants or agreements under any Rate Management Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, if any.

(xi) Borrower fails to make any payments of principal or interest in connection with the Loan or any other indebtedness owed to Lender beyond any applicable grace period provided in the instrument or agreement under which such indebtedness was created or secured, which is not cured within the applicable grace period,

(xii) Nonpayment by Borrower of any Rate Management Obligation when due or the breach by Borrower of any term, provision or condition contained in any Rate Management Agreement.

Thereupon, Lender may, at its option, declare the Note and all other amounts of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable together with interest accrued thereon, which shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) and Lender shall have the right to pursue all legal rights and remedies allowed by law. Nothing herein or in any other Loan Document is intended to affect any rights of Lender with respect to any Indebtedness which may now or hereafter be payable on demand. If the grace periods contained in any other Loan Document evidencing any of the loans that are the subject matter of this Loan Agreement allow longer periods of time as grace periods after default, the grace periods of time set forth in this Section shall be the grace periods of time that shall control.

9.12 Waiver by Lender. No delay or omission by the Lender in exercising any right hereunder or under any Loan Document or with respect to the Indebtedness shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right, and no single or partial exercise of any right shall preclude the Lender from any other or further exercise of any other right or remedy. The Lender may (but shall not be obligated to ) cure any Event of Default on account of Borrower in any reasonable manner without waiving the Event of Default so cured and without waiving any other prior or subsequent Event of Default by Borrower, and all amounts and expenses incurred by Lender in doing so shall bear interest at the Default Rate. All rights and remedies of the Lender under this Agreement and under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable laws shall be deemed cumulative.

9.13 Withholding and Other Tax Liabilities.

Upon expiration or termination of the Note, Lender shall be entitled to continue to hold any and all of the collateral until Borrower has given to Lender evidence, satisfactory to Lender, that Borrower has properly deposited or paid, as required by law, all federal withholding taxes due up to and including the date of such expiration or termination. In the event that any lien, assessment or tax liability against Borrower shall arise in favor of any taxing authority and, in the case of a tax liability, not be classified as a Permitted Lien, whether or not notice thereof shall be filed or recorded as may be required by law, Lender shall have the right after five (5) business days’ notice to Borrower (but shall not be obligated, nor shall Lender hereby assume the duty) to pay any such lien, assessment or tax liability by virtue of which such charge shall have arisen. In order to pay any such lien, assessment or tax liability, Lender shall not be obliged to wait until said lien, assessment or tax liability is filed before taking such action as hereinabove set forth. Any sum or sums which Lender shall have paid for the discharge of such lien shall be added to Borrower’s Indebtedness and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate, upon demand, and Lender shall be subrogated to all rights of such taxing authority against Borrower.

9.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (whether verbal or written) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. IT FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LITIGATION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER LITIGATION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.
