12. Payment of Costs and Expenses. Any provision of this Agreement and the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Loan Parties agree to pay to the Bank all costs and expenses, including but not limited to, appraisal fees, collateral verification and audit expenses, attorney’s fees, including appellate attorney’s fees, post-judgment collection-related attorney’s fees, and all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Bank for all legal services in a bankruptcy case of any Loan Party in connection with the enforcement of and the collection of all sums due under the Loan Documents and this Agreement.

13. No Further Commitment for Additional Accommodations. The Loan Parties expressly agree and stipulate that, except as otherwise herein specifically provided, the Bank has no obligation under the Loan Documents, by law, by equity, by the existence of this Agreement, or by any oral representation or communication of any sort from the Bank to refrain from exercising its rights under the Loan Documents or under this Agreement, or to agree, either now or in the future, to any further forbearances or extensions of time to satisfy the Obligations, or to provide any further accommodation to the Loan Parties under any circumstances whatsoever.

14. No Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure of the Bank to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. No waiver, amendment, or other variation of the terms, conditions, or provisions of the Loan Documents shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by the Bank, and then only to the extent as specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents and this Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Bank until the indebtedness has been paid in full.

15. Insurance. The Loan Parties will pay the premium due for property insurance on the Collateral with the same coverage existing prior to the execution of this Agreement.

16. Inspection. Any of the Bank’s officers, employees, or agents shall have the right, at any time or times hereafter, in the Bank’s name or in the name of Loan Parties to verify the validity, amount, or any other matter relating to the Collateral by mail, telephone, or otherwise. The Bank (by any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, at any time or times during usual business hours, to inspect the Collateral and all records related thereto (and to make extracts from such records) and the premises upon which any of such Collateral is located, to discuss Loan Parties’ affairs and finances with any attorney, accountant, account debtor, or creditor of the Loan Parties, and to verify the amount, quality, quantity, value, and condition of, or any other matter relating to the said Collateral.

17. Time is of the Essence. The Loan Parties further acknowledge that TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE with respect to the time for performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

18. No Duress; Each Party Advised by Counsel; Traditional Rule of Construction Not Applicable. The Loan Parties stipulate and agree that the Loan Documents and this Agreement have been executed voluntarily after due deliberation and negotiation and that neither Bank nor any other person has exerted or attempted to exert improper or unlawful pressure or has in any way induced or attempted to induce, through threats or otherwise, any conduct on the part of the Loan Parties including the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument. Because this Agreement was negotiated at length with counsel, the parties agree that the traditional rules calling for a document to be construed against its draftsman shall not apply or be followed.

19. Loan Documents. Except as herein specifically provided otherwise, the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and be unaffected hereby. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and any other agreement between the Bank and the Loan Parties then this Agreement shall be controlling.

20. Waiver, Amendment, and Entirety of Agreement.
