Real Estate Loan Agreement
This Real Estate Loan Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of June 23, 2010, is between Bank of America, N. A. (the “Bank”) and MCA Enterprises Brandon Inc (the “Borrower”).
1. THE LOAN
1.1 Loan Amount. The Bank agrees to provide a term loan to the Borrower in the amount of One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,150,000.00) (the “Loan”). The Loan is being made for the purpose of financing a portion of the cost of purchasing the real property described in Section 3 of this Agreement. The balance of the long-term financing required in connection with the purchase of the real property will be provided through the issuance of debentures guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) pursuant to a Section 504 Authorization for Debenture Guaranty issued by the SBA on April 1, 2010 (the “SBA Loan Authorization”). Pending issuance of the Debentures, the Bank has agreed to provide a short-term bridge loan up to Nine Hundred Twenty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($920,000.00) (the “Bridge Loan’’) pursuant to the terms of a separate Bridge Loan Agreement dated as of the same date as this Agreement.
1.2 Availability Period. The Loan is available in one disbursement from the Bank between the date of this Agreement and April 23, 2011, unless the Borrower is in default.
1.3 Interest Rate.
(a)  
The initial interest rate is six and seventy-two hundredths percent (6.720%) per year. On each Adjustment Date (as defined below), the interest rate will be adjusted to a rate per year equal to the U.S. Treasury Securities Rate plus 4.00 percentage point(s).
(b)  
The interest rate will be adjusted on June 23, 2017, and every seven years thereafter (the “Adjustment Date”) and remain fixed until the next Adjustment Date. If the Adjustment Date in any particular month would otherwise fall on a day that is not a banking day then, at the Bank’s option, the Adjustment Date for that particular month will be the first banking day immediately following thereafter.
(c)  
The U.S. Treasury Securities Rate is a rate of interest equal to the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury Securities, adjusted to a constant maturity of seven years as published from time to time and made available in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or, if such source is not available, such alternate source as determined by the Bank).
1.4 Repayment Terms.
(a)  
The Borrower will repay principal and interest in equal combined installments beginning on July 23, 2010, and on the same day of each month thereafter, and ending on June 23, 2030 (the “Repayment Period”). Each installment shall be in an amount sufficient to fully amortize principal and interest over an amortization period of twenty-five (25) years (the “Amortization Schedule”). Initially, the amount of each installment shall be $7995.38. Each installment, when paid, will be applied first to the payment of interest accrued and the balance will be applied to the repayment of principal.

Real Estate Loan Agreement

 

 


 

(b)  
The installments are subject to change if the interest rate changes as described above. For each Adjustment Date (as defined above), the Bank will determine the amount of the installments that will be necessary to repay the unpaid principal at the new interest rate over a term equal to the remaining term of the Amortization Schedule. The Borrower will pay the new installment amount beginning on the first payment date after the Adjustment Date until the amount of the installments changes again.
(c)  
On the last day of the Repayment Period, the Borrower will repay the remaining principal balance plus any interest then due.
1.5 Prepayments. The Borrower may prepay principal in full or in part at any time. The prepayment will be applied to the most remote payment of principal due under this Agreement. Each prepayment, whether voluntary, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of accrued interest on the amount prepaid, and a prepayment fee. The prepayment fee will be the sum of the fees calculated separately for each Prepaid Installment, as follows:
(a)  
The Bank will first determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month for the Prepaid Installment had it remained outstanding until the Original Payment Date, using the Initial Money Market Funds Rate.
(b)  
The Bank will then subtract from each monthly interest amount determined in (a), above, the amount of interest which would accrue for that Prepaid Installment if it were reinvested from the date of prepayment through the Original Payment Date, using the Treasury Rate.
(c)  
If (a) minus (b) for the Prepaid Installment is greater than zero, the Bank will calculate the present value of the monthly differences to the date of prepayment by the rate used in (b) above. The sum of the present values is the prepayment fee for that Prepaid Installment.
(d)  
The following definitions will apply to the calculation of the prepayment fee:
“Initial Money Market Funds Rate” means the fixed interest rate per annum, determined solely by the Bank as of the first day of the Interest Period, as the rate at which the Bank would be able to borrow funds in the Money Market for the duration of the Interest Period in the amount of the prepaid principal and with a term, interest payment frequency, and principal repayment schedule equal to the prepaid principal.
“Interest Period” means the period during which the interest rate applicable to prepaid principal is fixed and not subject to change.
“Money Market” means one or more wholesale rate markets available to the Bank, including the LIBOR, Eurodollar, and SWAP rate markets as applicable and available, or such other appropriate Money Market as determined by the Bank in its sole discretion.
“Original Payment Dates” mean the dates on which the prepaid principal would have been paid if there had been no prepayment. If a portion of the principal would have been paid later than the end of the Interest Period in effect at the time of prepayment, then the Original Payment Date for that portion will be the last day of the Interest Period.
“Prepaid Installment” means the amount of the prepaid principal which would have been paid on a single Original Payment Date.
“Treasury Rate” means the interest rate yield for U.S. Government Treasury Securities which the Bank determines could be obtained by reinvesting a specified Prepaid Installment in such securities for a period of time approximating the period starting on the date of the prepayment and ending on the Original Payment Date.

The Bank may adjust the Initial Money Market Funds Rate and the Treasury Rate to reflect the compounding, accrual basis, or other costs of the prepaid amount. The rates shall include adjustments for reserve requirements, federal deposit insurance, and any other similar adjustment which the Bank deems appropriate. Each of the rates is the Bank’s estimate only, and the Bank is under no obligation to actually purchase or match funds for any transaction or reinvest any prepayment. The rates are not fixed by or related in any way to any rate the Bank quotes or pays for deposits accepted through its branch system. The rates will be based on information from either the Telerate or Reuters information services, The Wall Street Journal, or other information sources the Bank deems appropriate.
2. FEES AND EXPENSES
2.1 Fees.
(a)  
Loan Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay a Loan fee the amount of Eleven Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($11,500.00). This fee is due on or before the date the Loan is disbursed.
(b)  
Waiver Fee. If the Bank, at its discretion, agrees to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, the Borrower will, at the Bank’s option, pay the Bank a fee for each waiver or amendment in an amount advised by the Bank at the time the Borrower requests the waiver or amendment. Nothing in this paragraph shall imply that the Bank is obligated to agree to any waiver or amendment requested by the Borrower. The Bank may impose additional requirements as a condition to any waiver or amendment.
(c)  
Late Fee. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to pay a late fee in an amount not to exceed four percent (4%) of any payment that is more than fifteen (15) days late. The imposition and payment of a late fee shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s rights with respect to the default.
2.2 Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with making the Loan. Such costs and expenses include, but are not limited to, charges for title insurance, recording and escrow charges, appraisal fees, fees for environmental services, and any other reasonable fees and costs for services, regardless of whether such services are furnished by the Bank’s employees or by independent contractors.
2.3 Reimbursement Costs.
(a)  
The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for any expenses it incurs in the preparation of this Agreement and any agreement or instrument required by this Agreement. Expenses include, but are not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including any allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(b)  
The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for the cost of periodic appraisals of the real property collateral securing the Agreement, at such intervals as the Bank may reasonably require. The appraisals may be performed by employees of the Bank or by independent appraisers.

4. DISBURSEMENTS AND PAYMENTS
4.1 Disbursements and Payments.
(a)  
Each payment by the Borrower will be made in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds by debit to a deposit account, as described in this Agreement or otherwise authorized by the Borrower. For payments not made by direct debit, payments will be made by mail to the address shown on the Borrower’s statement or at one of the Bank’s banking centers in the United States, or by such other method as may be permitted by the Bank.
(b)  
The Bank may honor instructions for advances or repayments given by any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrower, or any other individual designated by any one of such authorized signers.
(c)  
For any payment under this Agreement made by debit to a deposit account, the Borrower will maintain sufficient immediately available funds in the deposit account to cover each debit. If there are insufficient immediately available funds in the deposit account on the date the Bank enters any such debit authorized by this Agreement, the Bank may reverse the debit.
(d)  
Each disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrower will be evidenced by records kept by the Bank. In addition, the Bank may, at its discretion, require the Borrower to sign one or more promissory notes.
(e)  
Prior to the date each payment of principal and interest and any fees from the Borrower becomes due (the “Due Date”), the Bank will mail to the Borrower a statement of the amounts that will be due on that Due Date (the “Billed Amount”). The calculations in the bill will be made on the assumption that no new extensions of credit or payments wild be made between the date of the billing statement and the Due Date, and that there will be no changes in the applicable interest rate. If the Billed Amount differs from the actual amount due on the Due Date (the “Accrued Amount”), the discrepancy will be treated as follows:
  (i)  
If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be increased by the amount of the discrepancy. The Borrower will not be in default by reason of any such discrepancy.
  (ii)  
If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be decreased by the amount of the discrepancy.
Regardless of any such discrepancy, interest will continue to accrue based on the actual amount of principal outstanding without compounding. The Bank will not pay the Borrower interest on any overpayment.
4.2 Direct Debit (with ACH Debit).
(a)  
The Borrower agrees that on the Due Date the Bank will debit the Billed Amount from the deposit account with the Depository listed below (the “Designated Account”) owned by the Borrower. A voided copy of a check on the Designated Account has been, or will be, provided to the Bank.
DEPOSITORY NAME: Charter One Bank
City, State and Zip Code: Southfield, MI, 48034
Routing Number: 241070417
Deposit Account Number: 4515552189
(b)  
Debits made by ACH shall be subject to the operating rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association, as in effect from time to time.
(c)  
The Borrower may terminate this direct debit arrangement at any time by sending written notice to the Bank. If the Borrower terminates this arrangement, then the principal amount outstanding under this Agreement will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate per annum which is one (1.000) percentage point higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement and the amount of each payment will be increased accordingly.

4.3 Banking Days. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking day is a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or are in fact closed, in the state where the Bank’s lending office is located, and, if such day relates to amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if any), means any such day on which dealings in dollar deposits are conducted among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market. All payments and disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking day will be due on the next banking day. All payments received on a day which is not a banking day will be applied to the credit on the next banking day.
4.4 Interest Calculation. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and fees, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. This results in more interest or a higher fee than if a 365-day year is used. Installments of principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to bear interest until paid.
4.5 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of any default or after maturity or after judgment has been rendered on any obligation under this Agreement, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement, including any interest, fees, or costs which are not paid when due, will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is six (6.0) percentage point(s) higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement. This may result in compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any default.
5. CONDITIONS

8. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
8.1 Indemnity Regarding Hazardous Substances. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from and against all liabilities, claims, actions, foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, costs and expenses (including sums paid in settlement of claims and all consultant, expert and legal fees and expenses of the Bank’s counsel) or loss directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from any of the following:
(a)  
Any hazardous substance being present at any time, whether before, during or after any construction, in or around any part of the Property, or in the soil, groundwater or soil vapor on or under the Property, including those incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work, or any resulting damages or injuries to the person or property of any third parties or to any natural resources.
(b)  
Any use, generation, manufacture, production, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of a hazardous substance. This indemnity will apply whether the hazardous substance is on, under or about any of the Borrower’s property or operations or property leased to the Borrower, whether or not the property has been taken by the Bank as collateral.
Upon demand by the Bank, the Borrower will defend any investigation, action or proceeding alleging the presence of any hazardous substance in any such location, which affects the Property or which is brought or commenced against the Bank, whether alone or together with the Borrower or any other person, all at the Borrower’s own cost and by counsel to be approved by the Bank in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. In the alternative, the Bank may elect to conduct its own defense at the expense of the Borrower. The Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under this Article, except the obligation to give notices to the Bank, shall survive termination of this Agreement, repayment of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under this Agreement, and foreclosure of the Real Estate Security Instrument encumbering the Property or similar proceedings.
8.2 Representation and Warranty Regarding Hazardous Substances. Before signing this Agreement, the Borrower researched and inquired into the previous uses and ownership of the Property. Based on that due diligence, the Borrower represents and warrants that to the best of its knowledge, no hazardous substance has been disposed of or released or otherwise exists in, on, under or onto the Property, except as the Borrower has disclosed to the Bank in writing.
8.3 Compliance Regarding Hazardous Substances. The Borrower has complied, and will comply and cause all occupants of the Property to comply, with all current and future laws, regulations and ordinances or other requirements of any governmental authority relating to or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning protection of health or the environment or hazardous substances (“Environmental Laws”). The Borrower shall promptly, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, take all reasonable actions with respect to any hazardous substances or other environmental condition at, on, or under the Property necessary to (i) comply with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) allow continued use, occupation or operation of the Property; or (iii) maintain the fair market value of the Property. The Borrower acknowledges that hazardous substances may permanently and materially impair the value and use of the Property.
8.4 Notices Regarding Hazardous Substances. Until full repayment of the Loan, the Borrower will promptly notify the Bank in writing if it knows, suspects or believes there may be any hazardous substance in or around the Property, or in the soil, groundwater or soil vapor on or under the Property, or that the Borrower or the Property may be subject to any threatened or pending investigation by any governmental agency under any current or future law, regulation or ordinance pertaining to any hazardous substance.
8.5 Site Visits, Observations and Testing. The Bank and its agents and representatives will have the right at any reasonable time, after giving reasonable notice to the Borrower, to enter and visit the Property and any other locations where any personal property collateral securing this Agreement is located, for the purposes of observing the Property and the personal property collateral, taking and removing environmental samples, and conducting tests on any part of the Property. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank on demand for the costs of any such environmental investigation and testing. The Bank will make reasonable efforts during any site visit, observation or testing conducted pursuant this paragraph to avoid interfering with the Borrower’s use of the Property and the personal property collateral. The Bank is under no duty, however, to visit or observe the Property or the personal property collateral or to conduct tests, and any such acts by the Bank will be solely for the purposes of protecting the Bank’s security and preserving the Bank’s rights under this Agreement. No site visit, observation or testing or any report or

findings made as a result thereof (“Environmental Report”) (i) will result in a waiver of any default of the Borrower; (ii) impose any liability on the Bank; or (iii) be a representation or warranty of any kind regarding the Property or the personal property collateral (including its condition or value or compliance with any laws) or the Environmental Report (including its accuracy or completeness). In the event the Bank has a duty or obligation under applicable laws, regulations or other requirements to disclose an Environmental Report to the Borrower or any other party, the Borrower authorizes the Bank to take such a disclosure. The Bank may also disclose an Environmental Report to any regulatory authority, and to any other parties as necessary or appropriate in the Bank’s judgment. The Borrower further understands and agrees that any Environmental Report or other information regarding a site visit, observation or testing that is disclosed to the Borrower by the Bank or its agents and representatives is to be evaluated (including any reporting or other disclosure obligations of the Borrower) by the Borrower without advice or assistance from the Bank.
8.6 Definition of Hazardous Substance. “Hazardous substance” means any substance, material or waste that is or becomes designated or regulated as “toxic,” “hazardous,” “pollutant,” or “contaminant” or a similar designation or regulation under any current or future federal, state or local law (whether under common law, statute, regulation or otherwise) or judicial or administrative interpretation of such, including without limitation petroleum or natural gas.
9. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
If any of the following events of default occurs, the Bank may do one or more of the following without prior notice: declare the Borrower in default, stop making any additional credit available to the Borrower, and require the Borrower to repay its entire debt immediately. If an event which, with notice or the passage of time, will constitute an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Bank has no obligation to make advances or extend additional credit under this Agreement. In addition, if any event of default occurs, the Bank shall have all rights, powers and remedies available under any instruments and agreements required by or executed in connection with this Agreement, as well as all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

10.4 Dispute Resolution Provision. This paragraph, including the subparagraphs below, is referred to as the “Dispute Resolution Provision.” This Dispute Resolution Provision is a material inducement for the parties entering into this agreement.
(a)  
This Dispute Resolution Provision concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (i) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii) any document related to this agreement (collectively a “Claim”). For the purposes of this Dispute Resolution Provision only, the term “parties” shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank involved in the servicing, management or administration of any obligation described or evidenced by this agreement.

Real Estate Loan Agreement

(b)  
At the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code) (the “Act”). The Act will apply even though this agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state.
(c)  
Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the then-current rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereof (“AAA”), and the terms of this Dispute Resolution Provision. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this Dispute Resolution Provision shall control. If AAA is unwilling or unable to (i) serve as the provider of arbitration or (ii) enforce any provision of this arbitration clause, the Bank may designate another arbitration organization with similar procedures to serve as the provider of arbitration.
(d)  
The arbitration shall be administered by AAA and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral for this credit is located or if there is no such collateral, in the state specified in the governing law section of this agreement. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of any party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) bays of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and have judgment entered and enforced.
(e)  
The arbitrator(s) will give effect to statutes of limitation in determining any Claim and may dismiss the arbitration on the basis that the Claim is barred. For purposes of the application of any statutes of limitation, the service on AAA under applicable AAA rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s), except as set forth at subparagraph (h) of this Dispute Resolution Provision. The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this agreement.
(f)  
This paragraph does not limit the right of any party to: (i) exercise self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.
(g)  
The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to arbitration.
(h)  
Any arbitration or trial by a judge of any Claim will take place on an individual basis without resort to any form of class or representative action (the “Class Action Waiver”). Regardless of anything else in this Dispute Resolution Provision, the validity and effect of the Class Action Waiver may be determined only by a court and not by an arbitrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Class Action Waiver is material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is nonseverable from the agreement to arbitrate Claims. If the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then the parties’ agreement to arbitrate shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the limitation or invalidation of the Class Action Waiver. The Parties acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be arbitrated.
(i)  
By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit this agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This waiver of jury trial shall remain in effect even if the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable. WHETHER THE CLAIM IS DECIDED BY ARBITRATION OR BY TRIAL BY A JUDGE, THE PARTIES AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS THAT THEY ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

10.5 Severability; Waivers. If any part of this Agreement is not enforceable, the rest of the Agreement may be enforced. The Bank retains all rights, even if it makes a loan after default.

10.6 Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for any reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement and any other documents executed in connection with this Agreement, and in connection with any amendment, waiver, “workout” or restructuring under this Agreement. In the event of a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, the prevailing party is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, as determined by the court or arbitrator. In the event that any case is commenced by or against the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any similar or successor statute, the Bank is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank related to the preservation, protection, or enforcement of any rights of the Bank in such a case. To the extent permitted by law, as used in this paragraph, “attorneys’ fees” includes the allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel.
10.7 Individual Liability. If the Borrower is a natural person, the Bank may proceed against the Borrower’s business and non-business property in enforcing this and other agreements relating to this Loan.

10.8 Joint and Several Liability. If two or more Borrowers sign this Agreement, each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Bank for the payment of all obligations arising under this Agreement, and that such liability is independent of the obligations of the other Borrowers.
10.9 Set-Off.
(a)  
In addition to any rights and remedies of the Bank provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default under this Agreement, the Bank is authorized, at any time, to set off and apply any and all Deposits of the Borrower or any Obligor held by the Bank against any and all Obligations owing to the Bank. The set-off may be made irrespective of whether or not the Bank shall have made demand under this Agreement or any guaranty, and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable Deposits.
(b)  
The set-off may be made without prior notice to the Borrower or any other party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Obligor) to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
(c)  
For the purposes of this paragraph, “Deposits” means any deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, individual or joint) and any instruments owned by the Borrower or any Obligor which come into the possession or custody or under the control of the Bank. “Obligations” means all obligations, now or hereafter existing, of the Borrower to the Bank under this Agreement and under any other agreement or instrument executed in connection with this Agreement, and the obligations to the Bank of any Obligor.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement or any related agreements required by this Agreement and those of the SBA Loan Authorization or the applicable SBA rules and regulations, the terms, conditions, and provisions of the SBA Loan Authorization or the SBA rules and regulations shall prevail, but only to the extent that, at the time of determination, such terms, conditions, and provisions of the SBA Loan Authorization or the SBA rules and regulations are applicable to the Loan provided under this Agreement.
10.12 Indemnification. The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from any loss, liability, damages, judgments, and costs of any kind relating to or arising directly or indirectly out of (a) this Agreement or any document required hereunder, (b) any credit extended or committed by the Bank to the Borrower hereunder, and (c) any litigation or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement, any such document, or any such credit. This indemnity includes but is not limited to attorneys’ fees (including the allocated cost of in-house counsel). This indemnity extends to the Bank, its parent, subsidiaries and all of their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns. This indemnity will survive repayment of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank. All sums due to the Bank hereunder shall be obligations of the Borrower, due and payable immediately without demand.

Notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, upon the earlier of receipt or five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, postage prepaid, or (ii) if hand-delivered, by courier or otherwise (including telegram, lettergram or mailgram), when delivered.

10.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, and by the different parties on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

The Borrower authorizes the Bank at any time to verify or check any information given by the Borrower to the Bank, check the Borrower’s credit references, verify employment, and obtain credit reports. The Borrower agrees that the Bank shall have the right at all times to disclose and report to credit reporting agencies and credit rating agencies such information pertaining to the Borrower and/or all guarantors as is consistent with the Bank’s policies and practices from time to time in effect.
10.17 Limitation of Interest and Other Charges. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Bank dues not intend to charge and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount of interest or other fees or charges that is in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. Any payment in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to the Borrower or credited against principal, at the option of the Bank. It is the express intent hereof that the Borrower not pay and the Bank not receive, directly or indirectly, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid under applicable law including the usury laws in force in the state of Florida.
