  11  

 

 

8.3            Remedies . After any acceleration, as provided for in Paragraph 8.2, Lender shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies given it by the Loan Documents, all those allowed by all applicable Laws, including, but without limitation, the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may immediately, without demand of performance and without other notice (except as specifically required by the Loan Documents) or demand whatsoever to Borrower, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and without advertisement, sell at public or private sale, in any manner and at any location authorized by Laws, or otherwise realize upon, the whole, or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral, or any interest which Borrower may have therein. After deducting from the proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral all expenses (including all reasonable expenses for legal services), Lender shall apply such proceeds toward the satisfaction of the Obligations. Any remainder of the proceeds after satisfaction in full of the Obligations shall be distributed as required by applicable Laws. Notice of any sale or other disposition shall be given to Borrower at least ten (10) days before the time of any intended public sale or of the time after which any intended private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, which Borrower hereby agrees shall be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. Borrower agrees to assemble, or to cause to be assembled, at its own expense, the Collateral at such place or places as Lender shall designate. At any such sale or other disposition, Lender may, to the extent permissible under applicable Laws, purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral, free from any right of redemption on the part of Borrower, which right is hereby expressly waived and released.

 

Without limiting the generality of any of the rights and remedies conferred upon Lender under this Paragraph 8.3, Lender may, to the full extent permitted by applicable Laws:

 

(a)          Enter upon the premises of Borrower, exclude therefrom Borrower or any officer or employee thereof, and take immediate possession of the Collateral, either personally or by means of a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, using all necessary and lawful self-help to do so;

 

(b)          At Lender’s option, use, operate, manage and control the Collateral in any lawful manner;

 

(c)          Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender and/or Cynergy Data may, without notice to or consent of Borrower, purchase for itself or sell to a third party on its own behalf all rights of Borrower related to the Merchants, including, without limitation, the right to receive residuals under the merchant agreements, the Processing Agreement and any similar or related agreement, for an amount equal to the product of (i) the average monthly residual payment received by Borrower with respect to the Merchants for the trailing twelve month period and (ii) a multiplier which is the current prevailing market multiplier for equivalent processing portfolios; provided however, that if such Event of Default is an occurrence under Section 8.1(a) of this Agreement such multiplier will be six (6). Borrower shall fully cooperate with Lender and/or Cynergy Data to effectuate the purchase and/or sale of its rights related to the Merchants and shall refrain from contesting such sale in any regard. In the event that the purchase price exceeds the Obligations, Lender shall remit the balance to Borrower after set-off with respect to all Obligations. In the event that the purchase price is less than the Obligations hereunder, Borrower shall remain liable for the balance of the Obligations;

 

(d)          Collect and receive all receivables, rents, income, revenue, earnings, issues and profits therefrom; and

 

(e)          Maintain, repair, renovate, alter or remove the Collateral as Lender may determine in its discretion.

Corporate Guaranty

 

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and as an inducement to Priority Payment Systems LLC (“Priority”) to engage in a funding transaction with TOT Payments, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (doing business as Unified Payments), TOT New Edge, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, Process Pink, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and TOT FBS, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (collectively, the “Borrower”) , the undersigned, Net Element, Inc. (the "Guarantor"), unconditionally guarantees to Priority the full and prompt payment of each and every present and future liability, debt and obligation of Borrower under the Loan Agreement, Security Agreement, Promissory Note, Note Schedule, and other related documents (hereinafter “Loan Documents”) pertaining to such funding transaction, as at any time amended, supplemented, renewed or modified (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

 

The Guarantor hereby waives: notice of acceptance of this Guaranty; notice of the creation of any Guaranteed Obligation to which it may apply, and waives presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liability, suit or taking of other action by Priority; notice of any adverse change in Client’s financial condition or of any other fact which might increase Guarantor’s risk; any and all rights Guarantor has or may have under O.C.G.A. § 10-7-24, et. seq.; and any right Guarantor may have, by statute or otherwise, to require Priority to institute suit against Borrower after notice or demand from Guarantor or to seek recourse first against Borrower or otherwise, or to realize upon any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, as a condition to enforcing Guarantor’s liability and obligations hereunder.

 

Priority may at any time and from time to time, upon written notice to the Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder: (i) change the manner, place or terms of the payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, the Guaranteed Obligations or any interest payable thereon, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed or extended; (ii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting; (iii) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, the Agreement, or otherwise amend, modify, renew or supplement the Agreement; and (iv) release, impair or waive the benefits of any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party liable thereon – so long as any or all of these actions are contemplated and permissible pursuant to the Agreement.

 

 

 

 

The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation: (i) any action or inaction by Priority as contemplated in the preceding paragraph; or (ii) any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of the Guarantor. Priority shall not have any obligation whatsoever to seek payment from Borrower under this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other present or future guaranty or other security for the payment, performance and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, shall not be prejudiced or unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security, and is not conditioned upon or subject to the execution by any other Person or this Guaranty or any other guaranty or suretyship agreement.

 

If Borrower should fail to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations on the due date thereof (whether due on demand, at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) or any other Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Agreement) shall occur or exist, or if Borrower should dissolve or become insolvent, or if Guarantor should die, or if a petition for an order for relief with respect to Borrower should be filed by or against Borrower under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code (as such term is defined in the Agreement), or if a receiver, trustee or conservator should be appointed for Borrower or Guarantor or any of Client’s or Guarantor’s property, or if Borrower should default in the observance or performance of any covenant or agreement with Priority as set forth in the Loan Documents and such default shall not be cured within the cure period set forth in the Loan Documents or a period mutually agreed upon in writing by Borrower and Priority, then, in any such event and whether or not the Guaranteed Obligations pertaining to the Loan Documents are then due and payable or the maturity thereof has been accelerated or demand for payment from or performance by Borrower has been made, Priority may upon 7 days written notice to Guarantor make any or all of the default related Guaranteed Obligations immediately due and payable hereunder as to Guarantor and Priority shall be entitled to enforce the Guaranteed Obligations of Guarantor hereunder. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize Priority to charge or to collect from Guarantor interest that has not yet accrued, is unearned or subject to rebate or is otherwise not entitled to be collected by Priority under applicable law.

 

Guarantor consents and agrees that, upon written notice to or by Guarantor and without affecting or impairing the liability or obligations of Guarantor hereunder, Priority may: compromise or settle, extend the period of duration or the time for the payment or discharge or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; refuse to enforce or release all or any parties to any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; increase, decrease or otherwise alter the rate of interest payable with respect to the principal amount owing under the Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents or grant other indulgences to Borrower in respect thereof; amend or modify in any manner, or terminate or release, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Guarantee Obligations (other than this Guaranty); release, surrender, exchange, modify or impair any and all collateral, deposits or other property at any time securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or on which Priority at any time may have a lien; extend the time of payment of any collateral consisting of accounts, notes, chattel paper or other rights to the payment of money; refuse to enforce its rights, or make any compromise or settlement or agreement therefor, in respect of any and all of such collateral, deposits and property, or with any party to the Indebtedness, or with any other Person (as such term is defined in the Agreement) whatsoever; release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether parties to this instrument or not; or exchange, enforce, waive or release any security for any guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

 

 

 

Guarantor consents and agrees, that Priority shall be under no obligation to marshall any assets in favor of Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor further agrees that, if and to the extent Priority receive any payment on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations (whether from Client, Guarantor or a third party obligor or from the sale or other disposition of any collateral) and such payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then the part of the Guaranteed Obligations intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination or revocation of this Guaranty.

 

This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance thereon. No failure or delay on the part of Priority in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing between the Guarantor, Priority or Borrower shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which Priority would otherwise have: No notice to or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in a similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Priority to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand

 

This Guaranty may not be terminated by Guarantor and shall terminate upon the full payment and satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of Priority and its successors and assigns.

 

This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters specifically addressed herein and supersedes any prior guaranty between the parties regarding such matters. This Guaranty shall not be modified or altered except by a written instrument executed by Guarantor and Priority.

 

This Guaranty shall be governed by the laws of the state of Georgia (exclusive of the choice of law rules thereof).
