	f.		Appointment of Receiver — to apply for and obtain, without notice and upon ex parte application, the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral without regard to Borrower or any Guarantors and Debtors’ financial condition or solvency, the adequacy of the Collateral to secure the payment or performance of the obligations of those entities to Lender, or the existence of any waste to the Collateral;

	g.		Foreclosure — to foreclose any deed of trust, mortgage, lien, security interest or other encumbrance on the Collateral in accordance with the Loan Documents;

Lender’s rights are cumulative and may be exercised together, separately, and in any order. In the event that Lender institutes an action seeking recovery of any of the Collateral by way of a prejudgment remedy in an action against Borrower or Debtors, Borrower hereby waives and shall cause Debtors to waive the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required.

9. Waiver of Exemptions. Borrower hereby waives and shall cause any Debtors to waive all homestead exemptions and other exemptions, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to which those entities would otherwise be entitled with respect to the Collateral under any applicable law.

10. Hold Harmless and Indemnification. Lender shall not be responsible for the performance of any of Borrower or any Debtors’ obligations with respect to the Collateral under any circumstances.

Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless, and shall cause any Guarantors and Debtors to indemnify and hold Lender harmless, from all claims, damages, liabilities (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), causes of action, actions, suits and other legal proceedings (cumulatively, “Claims”) pertaining to their respective businesses or the Collateral (including, but not limited to, those Claims involving Hazardous Materials) except to the extent such Claims are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Lender. Borrower shall immediately provide and cause any Guarantors and Debtors to immediately provide Lender with written notice of any such Claim. Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall defend or cause such Guarantors and Debtors to defend Lender from such Claims, and pay the attorneys’ fees, legal expenses and other costs incurred in connection therewith. In the alternative, Lender

shall be entitled to employ its own legal counsel to defend such Claims at Lender and/or such Guarantors and Debtors’ cost.

11. Reimbursement for Expenses. Borrower shall reimburse when due or cause any Guarantors and Debtors to reimburse Lender when due for all amounts (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) reasonably expended by Lender, to the extent permitted by this Agreement or applicable law, in the: (i) negotiation, preparation, amendment, extension, modification, replacement or substitution of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, (ii) the administration of the loans and other financial accommodations described in this Agreement and the Loan Documents, (iii) attachment, creation, filing, perfection, and recording of Lender’s liens, security interests, and other encumbrances in the Collateral or any UCC and other searches and title or insurance policies in connection therewith; (iv) defense of the validity and priority of Lender’s liens, security interests and other encumbrances against the Collateral, and (v) enforcement or defense of any obligation or the exercise of any right or remedy described in this Agreement or the Loan Documents. Lender shall provide Borrower with written notice to Borrower that such sums are due as provided in this paragraph (accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation) and Borrower shall have ten (10) days thereafter to pay such sums in full. These sums shall bear interest at the lower of the highest rate described in any of the Loan Documents or allowed by law from the date of payment until the date of reimbursement and be secured by the Collateral.

12. Application of Monies. All payments to Lender made by or on behalf of Borrower or any Guarantors and Debtors or monies received by Lender from the Collateral or otherwise on account of a Default may be applied against any amounts paid by Lender in connection with the exercise of its rights or remedies described in this Agreement and the Loan Documents (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses together with interest at the rate described in the foregoing paragraph) and then to the payment of the remaining obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents in whatever order Lender chooses.

13. Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby appoints and shall cause any Guarantors and Debtors, jointly and severally, to appoint Lender as their attorney-in-fact to endorse their names on all instruments and other documents payable to those entities. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any funds received on account of the endorsement of checks payable to the Borrower or any Debtor shall be deposited in the bank account of the Borrower or any Debtor, as applicable. In addition, Lender shall be entitled, but not required, to perform any action or execute any document required to be taken or executed by Borrower or any Guarantors and Debtors under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, executing and filing any financing statements, fixture filings, continuation statements, notices of security interest and other documents required by the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law. Lender’s performance of such action or execution of such documents shall not relieve Borrower or any Guarantors and Debtors from any obligation to cure any default under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The powers of attorney described in this paragraph are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable.

14. Essence of Time. Borrower and Lender agree that time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

15. Modification and Waiver. The modification or waiver of any of Borrower or any Guarantors and Debtors’ Obligations or Lender’s rights under this Agreement or the Loan

Documents must be contained in a writing signed by Lender and Borrower. Lender may perform any of Borrower or any Guarantors and Debtors’ Obligations or delay or fail to exercise any of its rights without causing a waiver of those Obligations or rights. A waiver on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver on any other occasion. Borrower and any Guarantors and Debtors’ Obligations to Lender under this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall not be affected if Lender amends, compromises, exchanges, fails to exercise, impairs or releases any of the Obligations belonging to any co-Borrower, Guarantor or obligor or any of its rights against any co-Borrower, Guarantor, obligor or Collateral.

16. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender, and their respective successors, assigns, trustees, receivers, administrators, personal representatives, legatees and devisees.

17. Assignment and Participations. Borrower and any Guarantors and Debtors shall not be entitled to assign any of their rights, remedies or obligations described in this Agreement or the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender which may be withheld by Lender in its sole discretion. Upon notice to Borrower, Lender shall be entitled to grant participations in or assign some or all of its rights and remedies described in this Agreement and the Loan Documents to any federally insured financial institution without the prior consent of Borrower or any Guarantors and Debtors in any manner. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, Lender shall not be entitled to assign any of its rights, remedies or obligations described in this Agreement or the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Borrower, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Each actual or proposed participant or assignee, upon execution of a confidentiality agreement, shall be entitled to receive all information provided to Lender regarding Borrower, any Guarantors and Debtors, Collateral or otherwise pertaining to the loans and/or other financial accommodations evidenced by this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

20. Compliance With Applicable Law. It is Lender’s intention to comply fully with Texas law, and federal law as applicable, regulating credit terms, interest, fees, charges, expenses, and other amounts. For purposes of determining Lender’s compliance with such laws, the following shall apply to the extent permitted by law: (a) any contract, charge or receipt by Lender, whether occurring now or in the future, shall be strictly limited by this provision; (b) the “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum lawful ceiling, rate or amount that Lender could have contracted to charge or receive under Texas law or applicable federal law, whichever permits the highest maximum ceiling, rate or amount; (c) to the extent Section 303.003 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended, provides the Maximum Lawful Rate, the “indicated rate ceiling” shall apply unless changed by Lender in accordance with Texas law; (d) Lender may calculate rates or amounts by aggregating, amortizing, prorating, allocating, and spreading amounts contracted for, charged or received over the full term of the transaction; (e) no contract, charge or receipt shall

obligate Borrower or any obligor to pay any amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate or waive any right under the Texas Finance Code; and (f) any contract, charge or receipt that in the event of acceleration or under any other contingency purports to require the payment or collection of any amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall automatically be reformed to not obligate Borrower or any other obligor to pay any amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate. If Lender ever contracts for, charges or receives a rate or amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, the excess (whether denominated principal, interest or otherwise) shall be automatically subject to reallocation, cancellation, credit application, or refund to eliminate any amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate.

21. APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY AND PERFECTION OR THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION OF ANY SECURITY INTEREST CREATED HEREBY, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

To the extent collateral previously has been given to Lender by any person that may secure this loan, whether directly or indirectly, it is specifically agreed that, to the extent prohibited by law, all such collateral consisting of household goods will not secure this loan. In addition, if any collateral requires the giving of a right of rescission under the Truth in Lending Act for this loan, such collateral also will not secure this loan unless and until all required notices of that right have been given.

23. Non-Compliance Fee. Borrower shall pay Lender upon demand, a non-compliance fee of $500.00 per instance that Borrower is more than thirty (30) days past due, following written notice thereof, in providing Lender with proof of insurance, financial reports, compliance certificates and other similar items as required in this Agreement and the Loan Documents, provided the non-compliance fee will not be assessed again for the same failure unless Lender provides written notice of its intention to assess such non-compliance fee again and such failure continues on the part of Borrower following the expiration of ten (10) days after such notice.

24. Overline Fee. Borrower shall pay Lender upon demand, an overline fee of $200.00 per instance that Borrower requests an advance under the Line that causes the aggregate principal outstanding balance of all unpaid advances under the Line to exceed the Maximum Amount as set forth in the Borrowing Base Agreement.

25. Further Assurances. Borrower shall promptly make, execute, and deliver and cause Debtor to promptly make, execute, and deliver any and all agreements, documents, instruments and other records that the Lender may request to evidence the Loan, cure any defect or error in the execution and/or the delivery of any of the Loan Documents, perfect any lien, comply with

any legal requirement applicable to the Lender or the Loan or describe more fully particular aspects of the agreements set forth or intended to be set forth in any of the Loan Documents.
