Re: |

Agreement”)
dated as of October ___, 2008, by and between Oragenics, Inc., a
Florida
corporation (“Borrower”)
and Signature Bank (the "Lender")
|
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
have
acted as legal counsel to Borrower in connection with the execution and delivery
by Borrower of the Credit Agreement, with the Lender and the other Financing
Documents (as such term is defined below). This opinion is delivered to you
with
the consent of the Borrower.
In
connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined such documents,
records and matters of law as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of
this
opinion. We have examined, among other documents, the following:
|
(a)
|
the
Credit Agreement;
|
|
(b)
|
the
Promissory Note (the “Note”)
dated October ___, 2008, in the principal amount of $1,000,000.00,
made by
Borrower and payable to the order of
Lender;
|
|
(c)
|
the
Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) dated October ___, 2008, between
Borrower and Lender;
|
|
(d)
|
the
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Borrower as filed
with
the Florida Department of State on May 8,
2002;
|
|
(e)
|
the
Bylaws of Borrower;
|
|
(f)
|
a
Certificate of Status relating to Borrower issued by the Florida
Department of State on October 7,
2008;
|
|
(g)
|
a
copy of the Action Taken by Unanimous Written Consent in Lieu of
a Meeting
of the Board of Directors of the Borrower authorizing the loan
transaction.
|
The
documents referred to in items (a) through (c) above, inclusive, are referred
to
herein collectively as the "Financing
Documents";
and
the documents referred to in items (a) through (g) above, inclusive, are
referred to herein collectively as the "Documents".
In
all
such examinations, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons
executing documents, the genuineness of all signatures of Persons other than
the
Borrower or those signing on behalf of the Borrower, the authenticity of
original and certified documents and the conformity to authentic original or
certified copies of all copies submitted to us as conformed or reproduction
copies. As to various questions of fact relevant to the opinions expressed
herein, we have relied upon, and assume the accuracy of, representations and
warranties contained in the Documents and certificates and oral or written
statements and other information of or from representatives of the Borrower
and
others and assume compliance on the part of all parties to the Financing
Documents with their covenants and agreements contained therein. As to the
factual matters set forth therein, and, with respect to the opinions expressed
in paragraph 1 below, as to the legal conclusions expressed therein, we have
relied solely upon certificates of public officials.
To
the
extent it may be relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed
that
all parties to the Financing Documents other than the Borrower are duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their
respective jurisdictions of formation and, to the extent relevant, are duly
qualified as foreign corporations and authorized to transact business in all
relevant jurisdictions, have the legal authority and power to enter into and
perform such documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Financing Documents, that such documents have been duly authorized, executed
and
delivered by all of the parties to the Financing Documents other than the
Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of all of the
parties to the Financing Documents other than the Borrower, and that the Lender
complies with all standards of conduct applicable to it with respect to the
Financing Documents (including, without limitation, any requirement that the
Lender act reasonably, in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner or
otherwise in compliance with, and not in violation of, applicable law).
Furthermore, in rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed, and
we
express no opinion as to, compliance by the Lender with any state, federal
or
other laws or regulations applicable to it or to the legal or regulatory status
or the nature of the business of the Lender.
To
the
extent it may be relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed
that
the execution and delivery of the Financing Documents by the parties thereto
other than the Borrower and the performance by the parties thereto other than
the Borrower of their respective obligations under the Financing Documents
do
not and will not violate, conflict with, or cause a default under (a) any law
applicable thereto or (b) the Organizational Documents of any such
party.
We
have
further assumed the following in rendering this opinion:
(1) that
there have been no undisclosed modifications of any provision of any document
reviewed by us in connection with the rendering of this opinion and no
undisclosed prior waiver of any right or remedy contained in any of the
Financing Documents;
(2) the
truthfulness of each statement as to all factual matters otherwise not known
to
us to be untruthful contained in any document;
(3) the
accuracy on the date hereof as well as on the date stated in all governmental
certifications of each statement as to each factual matter contained in such
governmental certifications;
(4) that
the
addressee has acted in good faith, without notice of adverse claims, and has
complied with all laws applicable to it that affect the transaction evidenced
by
the Transaction Documents;
(5) that
the
transaction evidenced by the Financing Documents complies with all tests of
good
faith, fairness, and conscionablity required by law;
(6) that
routine procedural matters such as service of process or qualification to do
business in the relevant jurisdictions will be satisfied by the parties seeking
to enforce the Financing Documents;
(7) that
all
statutes, judicial and administrative decisions, and rules and regulations
of
governmental agencies constituting the law for which we are assuming
responsibility are published or otherwise generally accessible in each case
in a
manner generally available to lawyers practicing in the State of
Florida;
(8) that
other agreements related to the transaction evidenced by the Financing Documents
will be enforced as written;
(9) that
there are no other agreements or understandings among the parties to the
Financing Documents that would modify the terms of the Financing Documents
or
the respective rights or obligations of the parties to those
documents;
(10) that
with
respect to the Financing Documents and the transaction evidenced thereby, there
has been no mutual mistake of fact and there exists no fraud or duress;
and
(11) the
constitutionality and validity of all relevant laws, regulations and agency
actions unless a reported case has otherwise held or widespread concern has
been
expressed by commentators as reflected in materials which lawyers routinely
consult.
For
the
purposes of this opinion, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth
below:
“Organizational
Documents”
shall
mean, as to any Person which is not a natural person, the documents and/or
instruments creating and/or governing the formation or operation of such Person,
including without limitation such documents required to be filed with any
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the creation or formation of
such Person and including without limitation, articles of incorporation, bylaws,
shareholder agreements, voting trust agreements, articles of organization,
operating agreements, management agreements, certificates of limited
partnership, partnership agreements, statements of qualification, trust
agreements or indentures or other agreements or instruments as appropriate
for
such Person.
“Person”
shall
mean any
entity, whether an individual, trustee, corporation, partnership, trust,
unincorporated organization, governmental authority or otherwise.
Based
upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and
assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. Borrower
is a corporation, duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State
of Florida, with its status as active, and is otherwise duly qualified to do
business in the State of Florida.
2. Borrower
has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Financing Documents
to
which it is a party and to perform its obligations under such Financing
Documents. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of the Financing Documents to which it is a party.
3. Each
of
the Financing Documents to which Borrower is a party has been duly executed
and
delivered by Borrower.
4. Neither
the execution and delivery by Borrower of the Financing Documents to which
Borrower is a party, nor the performance by Borrower of its obligations under
the Financing Documents to which Borrower is a party, will (a) violate any
law,
rule or regulation applicable to the Borrower or (b) violate any provision
of the Organizational Documents of the Borrower or (c) to our knowledge,
constitute a breach or a default under any material agreement or instrument
to
which the Borrower is a party or by which it or its assets are bound or result
in the creation of a mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance upon
the
assets of the Borrower except as and to the extent provided in the Financing
Documents.
5. Subject
to the limitations in the next section of this paragraph 5, the Financing
Documents are the valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable
against the Borrower.
The
validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Financing Documents might
be
limited or otherwise affected by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar statutes, rules, regulations or
other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies generally
and (b) the unavailability of, or limitation on the availability of, a
particular right or remedy (whether in a proceeding in equity or at law) because
of an equitable principle or a requirement as to commercial reasonableness,
conscionablity or good faith. In addition, certain remedies, waivers and
provisions of the Financing Documents might not be enforceable; nevertheless,
such unenforceability will not render the Financing Documents invalid as a
whole.
6. We
note
that the Financing Documents provide that they are governed by New York law.
It
is our opinion that a Florida court of competent jurisdiction or a federal
court
sitting in the state of Florida in an action to enforce or interpret the
Financing Documents, assuming the proper argument thereof, should give effect
to
the choice of New York law as the governing law of the Financing Documents
and
to the interpretation thereof, subject to applicable conflicts of laws decisions
and provided that application of New York law in any instance would not result
in the violation of the public policy of the State of Florida.
Certain
of the opinions set forth herein are limited “to our knowledge.” Whenever
our
opinion is so limited, we mean that, during the course of our engagement for
this opinion, no information has come to the attention of any of our attorneys
working on the engagement that would give them actual knowledge of the
existence or absence of such facts.
We have
not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the
existence or absence of such facts,
and no
inference as to our knowledge of the
existence or absence of such facts should
be
drawn from our engagement.
7. Provided
that all of the Financing Documents are both executed and delivered outside
of
the territorial limits of the State of Florida, the Financing Documents are
not
subject to Florida Documentary Stamp Tax or Florida Intangibles
Tax.
We
are
members of the Florida Bar and the opinions expressed herein are limited to
the
federal law of the United States and the laws of the State of Florida. We note
that the Financing Documents are governed by the laws of the State of New York,
and with your permission the opinions rendered herein assume that the laws
of
New York are the same as the laws of the State of Florida. Without limiting
the
generality of the foregoing, we express no other opinion concerning the laws
of
any other jurisdiction in which the Borrowers may be located, may transact
business, or in which enforcement of the Transaction Documents may be
sought.
Except
as
expressly set forth herein, no other opinion is made with respect to the
Borrower, the Lender, the Financing Documents or the transactions evidenced
thereby.
Other
than the addressees and their respective assignees and transferees, no person
may rely on this opinion without our prior written consent. This opinion is
issued as of the date hereof and we undertake no, and hereby disclaim any,
obligation to advise you as to any change or modification to any state of facts
or law that would affect our opinions as stated herein.

“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of SIGNATURE BANK, having an office at
565 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10017 (the “Bank”), at such office of the Bank or
at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time appoint
in
writing, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately
available funds, the principal sum of ONE
MILLION and 00/100
($1,000,000.00)
Dollars or such lesser amount as may then be the aggregate unpaid principal
balance of all loans made by the Bank to the Borrower hereunder (each a
“Loan”
and collectively the “Loans”) as shown on the schedule attached to and made a
part of this Note. Within the $1,000,000.00 limit of this Note, Loans may
be
obtained, repaid and re-borrowed on a revolving basis. The Borrower also
promises to pay interest (computed on the basis of a 360 day year for actual
days elapsed) at said office in like money on the unpaid principal amount
of
each Loan from time to time outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the
Prime
Rate. Interest on each Loan shall be payable monthly on the first day of
each
month commencing the first such day to occur after a Loan is made hereunder
and,
together with principal, on the maturity thereof. The Borrower further
agrees
that upon and following an Event of Default and/or after any stated or
any
accelerated maturity of Loans hereunder, all Loans shall bear interest
(computed
daily) at a rate equal to 4% per annum in excess of the rate then applicable
to
such Loans, payable on demand. Furthermore, if the entire amount of any
principal and/or interest required to be paid pursuant to this Note is
not paid
in full within ten (10) days after the same is due, the Borrower shall
further
pay to the Bank a late fee equal to Five percent (5%)
of the
required payment. In no event shall interest payable hereunder be in excess
of
the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. If any payment
to
be so made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business
Day,
such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and,
to the
extent permitted by applicable law, interest thereon shall be payable at
the
then applicable rate during such extension.
All
payments made in connection with this Note shall be in lawful money of
the
United States in immediately available funds. All
such
payments shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses and
other
amounts due to the Bank (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued
interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal; provided,
however, that after the occurrence of an Event of Default, payments will
be
applied to the obligations of the Borrower to the Bank as the Bank determines
in
its sole discretion. The
Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Bank to record on the attached
schedule
the amount and date of each Loan, the rate of interest thereon, Interest
Period
thereof and the date and amount of each payment of principal. All such
notations
shall be presumptive as to the correctness thereof; provided, however,
the
failure of the Bank to make any such notation shall not limit or otherwise
affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Note.
In
consideration of the granting of the Loans evidenced by this Note, the
Borrower
hereby agrees as follows:
1. Loan
Requests.
Requests for Loans may be made up until 1 p.m. on the date the Loan is
to be
made. Any request for a Loan must be written. The Bank shall have no obligation
to make any Loan hereunder.

or d) any representation or warranty made by the Borrower herein or in
any
certificate furnished by the Borrower in connection with the Loans evidenced
hereby or pursuant to the provisions hereof, proves untrue in any material
respect; or e) the Borrower becomes insolvent or bankrupt, is generally
not
paying its debts as they become due, or makes an assignment for the benefit
of
creditors, or a trustee or receiver is appointed for the Borrower or for
the
greater part of the properties of the Borrower with the consent of the
Borrower,
or if appointed without the consent of the Borrower, such trustee or receiver
is
not discharged within 90 days, or bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation
or
similar proceedings are instituted by or against the Borrower under the
laws of
any jurisdiction, and if instituted against the Borrower are consented
to by it
or remain undismissed for 90 days, or a writ or warrant of attachment or
similar
process shall be issued against a substantial part of the property of the
Borrower and shall not be released or bonded within 90 days after levy;
or f)
the Bank shall have determined, in its sole discretion, that one or more
conditions exist or events have occurred which have resulted or may result
in a
material adverse change in the business, properties or financial condition
of
the Borrower as determined in the sole discretion of the Bank or one or
more
other conditions exist or events have occurred with respect to the Borrower
which the Bank deems materially adverse; then, in any such event, and at
any
time thereafter, if any Event of Default shall then be continuing, the
Bank may
declare the principal and the accrued interest in respect of all Loans
under
this Note to be, whereupon the Note shall become, immediately due and payable
without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which
are expressly waived by the Borrower.
5. Collateral
Security.
As
collateral security for the payment of this Note and of all other notes
and/or
obligations or Liabilities (as hereinafter defined) of the Borrower, now
of
hereafter owned or held by the Bank, the Borrower grants the Bank a security
interest in, pledges and assigns to the Bank all monies and/or other property
now or hereafter held by the Bank (and/or any entity controlling, controlled
by
or under common control with the Bank, each such entity referred to herein
as an
“Affiliate”) on deposit, in safekeeping, or otherwise, for the account of or to
the credit of or belonging to the Borrower or in which the Borrower shall
have
any interest, all of which is hereinafter termed the collateral security.
At any
time, without demand or notice, the Bank may set off all deposits, credits,
collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody,
safekeeping or control of the Bank or any Affiliate, or in transit to any
of
them, or any part thereof and apply the same to any of the Liabilities
even
though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral
securing
the Liabilities. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS
RIGHTS
OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LIABILITIES,
PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS,
CREDITS
OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER OR OTHER PARTY OBLIGATED ON THIS NOTE,
ARE
HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. The Bank at any time,
before or after an Event or Default (as herein defined), may but shall
not be
obligated to, transfer into or out of its own name or that of its nominee
all or
any of the collateral security, including stocks, bonds, and other securities,
and the Bank or its nominee may demand, sue for, collect, receive and hold
as
like collateral security any or all interest, dividends and income thereon
and
if the securities are held in the name of the Bank or its nominee, the
Bank may,
after an Event of Default, exercise all voting and other rights pertaining
thereto as if the Bank were the absolute owner thereof; but the Bank shall
not
be obligated to demand payment of, protest, or take any steps necessary
to
preserve any rights in the collateral against prior parties, or to take
any
action whatsoever in regard to the collateral security or any part thereof,
all
of which the Borrower assumes and agrees to do. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Bank shall not be obligated to take any action in
connection with any conversion, call, redemption, retirement or any other
event
relating to any of the collateral security, unless the Borrower gives written
notice to the Bank that such action shall be taken not more than thirty
(30)
days prior to the time such action may first be taken and not less than
ten (10)
days prior to the expiration of the time during which such action may be
taken.
The term “Liabilities” shall include this Note and all other indebtedness and
obligations and liabilities of any kind of the Borrower to the Bank, now
or
hereafter existing, arising directly between the Borrower and the Bank
or
acquired by assignment, conditionally or as collateral security by the
Bank,
absolute or contingent, joint and/or several, secure or unsecured, due
or not
due, contractual or tortious, liquidated or unliquidated, arising by operation
of law or otherwise, direct or indirect, including, but without limiting
the
generality of the foregoing, indebtedness, obligations or liabilities to
the
Bank of the Borrower as a member of any partnership, syndicate, association
or
other group, and whether incurred by the Borrower as principal, surety,
endorser, guarantor, accommodation party or otherwise. This Note and all
of the
aforementioned obligations and Liabilities are also secured by (a) any
and all
property of the Borrower and/or any Guarantor and/or any other party obligated
on this Note, now or hereafter subject to a security agreement, mortgage,
pledge
agreement, assignment, hypothecation or other document granting the Bank
or an
Affiliate a security interest or other lien or encumbrance and (b) any
and all
collateral described in any and all credit accommodations, notes, loan
agreements, and any other agreements and documents, now or hereafter existing,
creating, evidencing, guaranteeing, securing or relating to any or all
of the
Liabilities, together with all amendments, modifications, renewals, or
extensions thereof. In addition, Borrower has pledged to Bank as security
for
the Loan money market account number _______________ maintained with Bank as
set
forth in a Pledge Agreement of even date herewith between Borrower and
Bank.

certain
Line of Credit from the Borrower to the Bank in the original principal

Interest.
The
Pledgor hereby pledges, hypothecates, and impresses the Pledged Collateral
with
a lien in favor of the Bank, and grants to the Bank a security interest
in the

all the
Liabilities.
3.
Pledgor's
Additional Obligations.
The
Pledgor agrees that: (1) any distribution in kind received by the Pledgor

of stock as a dividend or split of any of the Pledged Collateral, shall
be

endorsement; (2) additional collateral in form and kind satisfactory
to the Bank
will be deposited by the Pledgor with the Bank if the Bank at any time

Agreement.

and
expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with the administration of

The
Pledgor agrees to execute and deliver to the Bank and/or third parties
designated by the Bank such additional documents, notices, requests and
other
instruments as the Bank deems necessary or advisable to protect the Bank's
rights under this Pledge Agreement.
4.
Certain
Rights and Duties of Bank.
The
Pledgor acknowledges that: the Bank has no duty of any type with respect
to the
Pledged Collateral except for the use of due care in safekeeping any
of the
Pledged Collateral actually in the physical custody of the Bank; prior
to the
occurrence of any event of default described in the succeeding paragraph
the
Bank's rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral shall be limited
to the
Bank's rights as a secured party and pledgee and the right to perfect
its
security interest, preserve, enforce and protect the lien granted hereunder
and
its interest in the Pledged Collateral; and the Bank may sell, assign
or grant
participations in any of the Liabilities and any of the Pledged Collateral
and
that the Bank's purchaser, assignee or participant shall have the same
rights
and privileges with respect to such Liabilities and Pledged Collateral
as the
Pledgor grants to the Bank under this Pledge Agreement. With respect
to any
Pledged Collateral with a stated maturity date (including, without limitation,
certificates of deposit and other term accounts), the Bank is authorized
and
directed, upon maturity, to roll-over and reinvest such Pledged Collateral
in a
similar investment, with such tenor and interest rate or yield as the
Bank, in
its discretion, deems to be reflective of prevailing market conditions.
Prior to
the occurrence of any event of default described in the succeeding paragraph,
the Bank agrees that it will not vote any Pledged Collateral constituting
securities or closely held capital stock.
5.
Events
of Default; Remedies.
Upon
occurrence of any event of default under any instrument evidencing any
of the
Liabilities or of any of the following events: (1) default in the payment
or
performance of any other of the obligations or liabilities of the Pledgor
under
any agreement between the Bank and Pledgor; (2) the Pledgor, if a business
entity, discontinues business operations at any of the Pledgor's locations;
(3)
the Pledgor is generally unable to pay debts as they become due or the
Bank
deems itself insecure; (4) the Pledgor makes a general assignment for
the
benefit of creditors; (5) the entry of a decree, order or order for relief
by a
court having jurisdiction of a case initiated by or against the Pledgor
under
the federal bankruptcy code or any other federal or state laws pursuant
to which
a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator, debtor
in
possession, examiner or other similar official, is appointed for the
Pledgor or
any of the Pledgor's property, with or without consent, for any purpose
whatsoever; (6) a substantial part of the property of the Pledgor is
taken by
attachment, execution or any other form of legal process; (7) the assertion
of
any levy, seizure or attachment on the Pledged Collateral; or (8) death
of an
individual Pledgor or dissolution or termination of legal existence of
a
corporate, limited liability company, partnership or trust Pledgor; then
the
Bank, with or without notice to the Pledgor and without demand for additional
collateral, may (a) transfer the Pledged Collateral into the name of
the Bank or
its nominee and vote any Pledged Collateral constituting securities or
closely
held capital stock; (b) sell at public or private sale any or all of
the Pledged
Collateral, which the Bank may purchase free from any right of redemption;
or
(c) at its discretion in its own name or in the name of the Pledgor take
any
action for the collection of the Pledged Collateral, including the filing
of a
proof of claim in insolvency proceedings, and may receive the proceeds
thereof
and execute releases therefor. After deducting its expenses, including
reasonable attorney's fees (which may include costs allocated by the
Bank's
internal legal department), incurred in the sale or collection of the
Pledged
Collateral, the Bank shall apply the proceeds to the Liabilities and
shall
account to the Pledgor for any surplus. The Pledgor agrees that the Bank
has no
obligation to sell or otherwise liquidate the Pledged Collateral in any
particular order or to apply the proceeds thereof to any particular portion
of
the Liabilities. The Pledgor further agrees that after the occurrence
of an
event of default, the Bank shall have no obligation to vote any Pledged
Collateral constituting securities or closely held capital stock.
In
connection with any secured party's sale, the Bank is authorized, if
it deems it
advisable to do so, in order to comply with any applicable securities
laws, to
restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent
and
agree that they are purchasing the Pledged Collateral for their own account
for
investment, and not with a view to the distribution or re-sale thereof.
Sales
made subject to such restriction shall be deemed to have been made in
a
commercially reasonable manner.
6.
Power
of Attorney, Etc.
The
Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Bank the true
and lawful
attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Pledgor with full power of
substitution and revocation in its own name or in the name of the Pledgor
to
make, execute, deliver and record any and all financing statements, continuation
statements, assignments, proofs of claim, powers of attorney, leases,
discharges
or other instruments or agreements which the Bank in its sole discretion
may
deem necessary or advisable to perfect, preserve, enforce or protect
the lien
granted hereunder and its interest in the Pledged Collateral and to carry
out
the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including but without limiting
the
generality of the foregoing, any and all proofs of claim in bankruptcy
or other
insolvency proceedings of the Borrower, with the right to collect and
apply to
the Liabilities all distributions and dividends made on account of the
Pledged
Collateral. The rights and powers conferred on the Bank by the Pledgor
are
expressly declared to be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable
until
all the Liabilities are paid and performed in full. A carbon, photographic,
or
other reproduction of a security agreement (including this Pledge Agreement)
or
a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement.
7.
Miscellaneous.
This
Pledge Agreement and the Pledged Collateral shall not be in any way affected
by
the extension of time or renewal of any of the Liabilities, the modification
in
any manner or the taking or release in whole or in part of any security
therefor
or the obligations of any endorsers, sureties, guarantors or other parties
or
the granting of any other indulgences to the Borrower or to the Pledgor.
No
termination of this Pledge Agreement shall be effective in any event
until the
Bank in its discretion determines that the Liabilities of the Borrower
covered
by this Pledge Agreement have been satisfied in full.
