warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to Borrower from time to time, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until, but not including, the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and in such amounts as Lender may determine from time to time up to the Revolving Loan Availability (and subject at all times to the amounts available to be borrowed in accordance with the Borrowing Base Certificate); provided, however, that the aggregate principal balance of all Revolving Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Availability; and further provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Revolving Loan under this Agreement (including any Net Amount to be distributed hereunder) shall be subject to Lender’s approval, which approval may be given or withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Revolving Loans made by Lender may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, borrowed again up to, but not including, the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, unless the Revolving Loans are otherwise terminated or extended as provided in this Agreement. The Revolving Loans shall be used by Borrower for the specific purposes permitted hereunder and for no other purpose.

(b)               Increase to Revolving Loan Commitment. Borrower may request, from time to time, that the Revolving Loan Commitment be increased to up to Three Million and No/100 United States Dollars (US$3,000,000); and Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make available Revolving Loan Commitment increases to Borrower. Lender’s election to increase the Revolving Loan Commitment from time to time may be granted or denied by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, however, at a minimum, the following conditions must be satisfied, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion:

(i)                 no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, or result from the applicable increase of the Revolving Loan Commitment;

(ii)               Borrower shall have executed and delivered a new or revised Revolving Note;

(iii)             after giving effect to such increase, the amount of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans shall not be in excess of the Revolving Loan Availability;

(v)               Lender shall have received any and all documents or agreements as it shall require in its sole and absolute discretion.

It is expressly agreed and acknowledged by each of the Credit Parties that, notwithstanding that this Agreement provides for the opportunity to increase the Revolving Loan Commitment as hereby provided: (i) Lender has no obligation of any nature or kind whatsoever to grant or provide any such increase to the Credit Parties; (ii) the Credit Parties did not enter into this Agreement based on any promise, express or implied, by Lender or any of its agents or representatives, or based on any expectation by any of the Credit Parties, that funds or Loans

beyond the Revolving Loans made on the Effective Date would be made or provided after the Effective Date; and (iii) each of the Credit Parties hereby fully and unconditionally waives any and all claims, counterclaims, and defenses any of them may have based on any argument that Lender had any obligation or otherwise promised to fund additional Revolving Loans beyond the Revolving Loan funded on the Effective Date, or any argument or implied covenant of fair dealing and good faith that may in any way imply an obligation upon Lender to make such additional Revolving Loans.

(c)        Revolving Loan Interest and Payments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans and all other Obligations shall be repaid on or before the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the Interest Rate. The Receipts Collection Fee, accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Loans outstanding from time to time, and other fees and charges due hereunder, shall be payable on a weekly basis on the weekly anniversary date of the Effective Date, or such other date as Lender and Borrower may agree upon (provided, however, if no such other agreement is made or reached, then on the weekly anniversary date of the Effective Date), commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (each a “Payment Date”). Any amount of principal or interest on the Obligations which is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, shall at Lender’s option bear interest payable on demand at the Default Rate.

(d)             Revolving Loan Principal Repayments.

(i)                 Mandatory Principal Prepayments; Overadvances. All Obligations shall be repaid by Borrower on or before the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, unless payable sooner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. In the event at any time the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans hereunder exceeds the Revolving Loan Availability (an “Over-advance”), Borrower shall be obligated to eliminate such Over-advance as follows: (A) if the Over-advance exists as of the Effective Date, then: (I) Lender shall determine the amount of the Over-advance, as well as the estimated amount of a payment (“Estimated Over-advance Payment”) to be made by Borrower on each Payment Date (or such other time period as Lender may determine, such as a monthly payment) to be applied against the principal balance of the outstanding Revolving Loans, such that the Over-advance would be eliminated over a one hundred twenty (120) day period from the Effective Date (Lender shall have the right to modify the amount of the Estimated Over-advance Payment from time to time upon notice to Borrower as necessary to cause the elimination of the Over-advance over the one hundred twenty (120) day period contemplated hereby); and (II) Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount of the Estimated Over-advance Payment, and on each Payment Date (or such other time period selected by Lender), Borrower shall make the Estimated Over-Advance Payment to Lender, or, at Lender’s election, notwithstanding the priorities set forth in Section 2.1(e)(ii), Lender may apply any amounts in the Lock Box Account towards the Estimated Over-advance Payment required to be made hereby, until the Over-advance is eliminated in full; or (B) if an Over-advance should occur after the Effective Date and during the term of this Agreement, then: (I) Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether: (1) the Over-advance needs to be paid immediately; or (2) the Over-advance can be cured during a period of time as determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, and if so, what other conditions Lender may impose in connection

with such cure period. If Lender elects option (1), then Borrower shall, upon notice or demand from Lender, immediately make such repayments of the Revolving Loans or take such other actions as shall be necessary to immediately eliminate such Over-advance in full (or, notwithstanding the priorities set forth in Section 2.1(e)(ii), Lender may immediately apply any amounts in the Lock Box Account from time to time to eliminate such Over-advance in full). If Lender elects option (2) above, then Lender shall determine the amount of the Over-advance, the cure period available to Borrower in which to eliminate the Over-advance, and any other conditions to be satisfied by Borrower in connection with the cure period selected by Lender for elimination of the Over-advance, as well as the Estimated Over-advance Payment to be made by Borrower on each Payment Date (or such other time period as Lender may determine, such as a monthly payment) to be applied against the principal balance of the outstanding Revolving Loans, such that the Over-advance would be eliminated over whatever cure period shall have been elected by Lender, in its sole discretion (Lender shall have the right to modify the amount of the Estimated Over-advance Payment from time to time upon notice to Borrower as necessary to cause the elimination of the Over-advance over the cure period selected by Lender); and (II) Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount of the Estimated Over-advance Payment, the cure period selected by Lender during which the Over-advance must be eliminated, and any other conditions applicable thereto, and on each Payment Date (or such other time period selected by Lender), Borrower shall make the Estimated Over-Advance Payment to Lender, or, at Lender’s election, notwithstanding the priorities set forth in Section 2.1(e)(ii), Lender may apply any amounts in the Lock Box Account towards the Estimated Over-advance Payment required to be made hereby, such that the Over-advance is eliminated in full in the period of time selected by Lender therefor. Credit Parties shall also satisfy whatever other conditions may be imposed by Lender as conditions to allowing Credit Parties a cure period to eliminate the Over-advance. In addition, following collection and payment of all items and fees as required by Section 2.1(e)(ii)(1) – (6), inclusive (other than the Mandatory Principal Repayment Amount), on each Payment Date, an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of all amounts collected into the Lock Box Account since the immediately preceding Payment Date (such a period of time hereinafter referred to as the “Sweep Period”) shall be paid to Lender to reduce the then outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans hereunder (the “Mandatory Principal Repayment Amount”). In addition, from time to time, Lender shall have the right to review the amount and type of current and historical Receipts and Eligible Accounts of the Credit Parties, the value of other Collateral, and other factors determined by Lender, and based on such review, Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, increase the percentage used for the Mandatory Principal Repayment Amount, which increase shall become applicable and effective immediately upon notice to Borrower. Lender shall apply funds received into the Lock Box Account in accordance with Section 2.1(e) below.

(ii)               Optional Prepayments. Borrower may from time to time prepay the Revolving Loan, in whole or in part, provided, however, that if the Borrower prepays more than eighty percent (80%) of the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment within ninety (90) days following the Effective Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender as liquidated damages and compensation for the costs of being prepared to make funds available hereunder an amount equal to two and 50/100 percent (2.50%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment (the “Prepayment Penalty”). The Prepayment Penalty owed pursuant to this Section shall not be applicable with respect to any payment of the Mandatory Principal Repayment Amount.

(e)              Collections; Lock Box.

(i)                 Funds Collected.

(1)               Wire Transfers. To the extent any Customers make or pay any Receipts to any Credit Party by a wire transfer or other form of electronic funds transfer, effective as of the Effective Date, the Credit Parties shall direct all of such Customers, in writing, to make all such wire transfer or electronic fund transfer payments directly to the Lock Box Account.

(2)               Cash, Checks and Other Payments. To the extent any Customers make or pay any Receipts to any Credit Party by any other form other than wire transfer or other form of electronic funds transfer (such as through cash or a check), then effective as of the Effective Date, the Credit Parties shall direct all of its Customers, in writing, to make, deposit, and/or send, as applicable, all such payments and Receipts directly to the Lock Box Account or a post office box designated by, and under the exclusive control of, Lender (such post office box is referred to herein as the “Lock Box”).

(3)               Credit/Debit Card Payments. The parties recognize that in some instances or from time to time, the Credit Parties may elect to take or receive payments from Customers through the use of a credit or debit card (including payments made using a credit or debit card, or other payment mechanisms, through online re-sellers or systems, such as PayPal, Amazon and the like). In the event the Credit Parties shall at any time take or receive any Receipts through the use of a credit or debit card (including payments made using a credit or debit card, or other payment mechanisms, through online re-sellers or systems, such as PayPal, Amazon and the like), then effective as of the date (the “Credit Card Date”) when the Credit Parties enter into any agreements with any credit/debit card or other payment processing companies for the processing of credit and debit card payments (including payments made using a credit or debit card, or other payment mechanisms, through online re-sellers or systems, such as PayPal, Amazon and the like) on behalf of the Credit Parties (the “Payment Processing Companies”), the Credit Parties shall modify all of its agreements with any such Payment Processing Companies, so as to authorize, direct and cause: (A) all credit/debit card payments from any Customers; and (B) any reserves or holdbacks withheld by any of the Payment Processing Companies, if, as, and when distributed or paid to the Credit Parties, to be deposited directly into the Lock Box Account, rather than any other bank accounts of the Credit Parties. In this regard, effective as of the Effective Date (or, if there are no agreements with any Payment Processing Companies as of the Effective Date, then effective as of the Credit Card Date), the Credit Parties shall obtain from the each of the Payment Processing Companies and deliver to Lender, an estoppel certificate, disbursement direction or other similar document in form and substance acceptable to Lender (the “Payment Direction”), pursuant to which the Payment Processing Companies confirm and agree, among other things Lender may require: (I) to the foregoing payment directions; (II) that such payment instructions and directions shall not be changed, amended or terminated, except upon written notice from Lender; and (III) that copies of all statements, notices and other communications sent by any Payment Processing Companies to the Credit Parties, also be delivered to Lender. At any time prior to the Payment Direction being effective and in place, any Receipts received by the Credit Parties from any Payment Processing Companies shall be immediately (within twenty-four (24) hours) re-directed and deposited by

Borrower into the Lock Box Account; provided, however, that any such re-direction shall not diminish or abrogate the Credit Parties’ obligation to obtain the Payment Direction from each of the Payment Processing Companies. The Credit Parties shall not enter into any new agreements with any Payment Processing Companies, unless prior to or contemporaneously with entering into such relationships or agreements, such Payment Processing Companies execute a Payment Direction in favor of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, so long as the Receipts collected by Credit Parties in any calendar year from any particular Payment Processing Company (which amount can be estimated by Lender based on Receipts collected by Credit Parties in any shorter time period as may be determined by Lender) are less than ten percent (10%) of the total Receipts collected by Credit Parties from all sources in any calendar year (which amount can be estimated by Lender based on Receipts collected by Credit Parties in any shorter time period as may be determined by Lender) (a Payment Processing Company that collects Receipts that are below the 10% threshold as hereby contemplated is sometimes referred to as a “Non-Material PPC” and a Payment Processing Company that collects Receipts above the 10% threshold as hereby contemplated is sometimes referred to as a “Material PPC”), then Credit Parties shall not have an obligation to deliver the Payment Direction with respect to such particular Payment Processing Company as contemplated by this Section, but only so long as: (x) no Event of Default exists under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and provided no event has occurred that, with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (y) Credit Parties instruct the particular Payment Processing Company to remit all credit/debit card payments from any Customers, any reserves or holdbacks withheld by such Payment Processing Company, and other Receipts, directly into the Lock Box Account, rather than any accounts of the Credit Parties; and (z) to the extent that, despite the foregoing requirement to instruct such Payment Processing Company to remit all Receipts directly into the Lock Box Account, any Credit Party receives any Receipts from such Payment Processing Company directly into an account of the Credit Parties, rather than the Lock Box Account, then Credit Parties shall notify Lender of the receipt of such Receipts or other sums within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of same, and immediately upon receipt thereof, remit or endorse same to Lender into the Lock Box Account; provided, however, that any such re-direction shall not diminish or abrogate Credit Parties’ obligation to direct, instruct and require all Payment Processing Companies to make all payments and remittances otherwise due to the Credit Parties directly to the Lock Box Account. Each of the Credit Parties hereby represent and warrant to Lender that as of the Effective Date, it has agreements or payment processing relationships with the following Material PPC’s: None, and with the following Non-Material PPC’s: None.

The Lender and Credit Parties acknowledge that, in some instances, or if applicable, the mechanics of the payment processing relationships of the Credit Parties with some of its Payment Processing Companies is such that Credit Parties have portals or systems which they access online (the “Portals”) through administrative usernames, passwords and other input details required to gain access into such Portals (the “Access Details”), and that once the Portals are accessed with the Access Details, the Credit Parties then, through certain user elections and options made by Credit Parties on the Portals, elects to what bank account and when funds from the Payment Processing Companies are transferred to Credit Parties. In this regard, to the extent the payment mechanics of any Payment Processing Companies use Portals and Access Details, then on the Effective Date (or, if acceptable to Lender, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, as soon as practicably possible following the

Effective Date), Credit Parties shall provide to Lender the web address for the Portals and the Access Details for each of the Payment Processing Companies, and Lender shall have the full right and authority to modify the Access Details, so that only Lender has access to the Portals and access to control all payments and remittances to and from such Payment Processing Companies, and so that Credit Parties do not have access or authority to change or thereafter modify the elections made by Lender on the Portals (provided that Lender shall provide view/read access only to Credit Parties so Credit Parties can see, on a daily basis, the transactions processed by the Payment Processing Companies and movement of funds from the Payment Processing Companies to the Lock Box Account). Lender shall have the absolute right and authority to designate the account to which any remittances from the Payment Processing Companies are made, which account shall be the Lock Box Account. Credit Parties hereby agree to undertake any and all required actions, execute any required documents, instruments or agreements, or to otherwise do any other thing required or requested by Lender in order to effectuate the foregoing with respect to the Portals and Access Details. Credit Parties shall not undertake any action or give any direction to any Payment Processing Companies that is in conflict with, changes, or is otherwise in derogation of the requirements and obligations of Credit Parties set forth in this paragraph. Upon indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations, and termination of all other commitments of Lender to advance sums hereunder, Lender shall provide the Access Details and control of the Portals back to the Credit Parties.

(4)               General Collection Terms. The Credit Parties hereby agree to undertake any and all required actions, execute any required documents, instruments or agreements, or to otherwise do any other thing required or requested by Lender in order to effectuate the requirements of this Section 2.1(e). Lender shall maintain an account at a financial institution acceptable to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Lock Box Account”), which Lock Box Account is and shall be maintained in Lender’s (or its Affiliate’s) name, and into which all Receipts, whether through wires, electronic fund transfers, credit and debit card payments from any Customers, and all other monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payments or Receipts of any kind received or receivable by, or due to, the Credit Parties shall be deposited. Credit Parties acknowledge that the Lock Box Account may be established by Lender as an “FBO” account, pursuant to which the Lock Box Account is in the name of Lender (or its Affiliate) “for the benefit of” the Credit Parties. Notwithstanding any such designation on the Lock Box Account, or any documents entered into or executed by the Credit Parties in connection with the establishment of the Lock Box Account, the Credit Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that: (i) Lender shall at all times have full “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) of the Lock Box Account and all funds deposited therein; (ii) the Credit Parties shall not revoke Lender’s authority or rights with respect to the Lock Box Account and the funds therein (notwithstanding any right Credit Parties may have to do so under ancillary documents executed by the Credit Parties to establish the Lock Box Account); and (iii) Credit Parties shall not take any action or position contrary to the intent of the parties as expressed herein that Lender shall at all times be in full control of the Lock Box Account and the deposits therein. It is the intent of the parties that all Receipts, whether through wires, electronic fund transfers, credit and debit card payments from any Customers, and all other monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payments or Receipts of any kind received or receivable by, or due to, the Credit Parties, shall be deposited directly into the Lock Box Account, rather than any other accounts of Credit Parties, or if received into any account of the Credit Parties, then the Credit Parties shall immediately re-direct and deposit same into the Lock Box Account. In this regard, if any Credit Parties, any Affiliate

or Subsidiary, any shareholder, officer, director, employee or agent of the Credit Parties or any Affiliate or Subsidiary, or any other Person acting for or in concert with the Credit Parties, shall receive any monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payments or Receipts, the Credit Parties and each such Person shall receive all such items in trust for, and as the sole and exclusive property of, Lender, and, immediately upon receipt thereof, shall remit the same (or cause the same to be remitted) in kind to the Lock Box Account.

(ii)               Distribution of Funds From the Lock Box Account. The Credit Parties and Lender agree that all payments made to the Lock Box Account, whether in respect of Receipts, as proceeds of Collateral, or otherwise, will be swept from the Lock Box Account to Lender on each Payment Date to be applied according to the following priorities: (1) to unpaid fees and expenses due hereunder, including any recurring fees due pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof; (2) to any custodian/back-up servicer (if applicable); (3) to accrued but unpaid interest owed under Sections 2.1(c) and 2.4 hereof; (4) to the Receipts Collection Fee; (5) if at any time the Lender is not holding or has reserved, in the Lock Box Account or otherwise, an amount equal to at least the Reserve Amount, then twenty percent (20%) of all Receipts received into the Lock Box Account during each Sweep Period shall be withheld and applied by Lender to amounts required to establish the Reserve Amount, until the Reserve Amount is reached, which Reserve Amount (or portion thereof) may be kept and maintained in the Lock Box Account during the duration of this Agreement as additional security for the Obligations; (6) to amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.1(d), including the Mandatory Principal Repayment Amount, the Estimated Over-Advance Payment, and other amounts required to eliminate any Over-advance; and (7) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to Lender, to reduce the balance of the Obligations to zero (each of the foregoing payments, the “Lock Box Payments”). The amount remaining in the Lock Box Account following the payment of the Lock Box Payments on each Payment Date (less any amount in the Lock Box Account withheld and applied by Lender to the Reserve Amount) shall be referred to herein as the “Net Amount”. The Lender agrees that, provided the Credit Parties are each in good standing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default exists under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and provided no event has occurred that, with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and further provided that any Estimated Over-advance Payments have been timely made as required by this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Net Amount will be transferred to Borrower from the Lock Box Account via wire transfer or electronic funds transfer to an account designated by the Borrower on the immediately subsequent Payment Date (provided, however, any failure by Lender to transfer the Net Amount to Borrower by such date shall not in any way hinder, impair, or otherwise adversely affect Credit Parties’ Obligations, or Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents). The Credit Parties agree to pay all reasonable fees, costs and expenses in connection with opening and maintaining of the Lock Box and the Lock Box Account. All of such reasonable fees, costs and expenses, if not paid by the Credit Parties within five (5) Business Days of Lender’s written request, may be paid by Lender and in such event all amounts paid by Lender shall constitute Obligations hereunder, shall be payable to Lender by any Credit Party upon demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the amounts collected into the Lock Box Account from time to time, whether in respect of Receipts, as proceeds of Collateral, or otherwise, are at any time not sufficient to pay the amounts due to Lender on any Payment Date

under items (1) – (6) above of this Section 2.1(e)(ii), then the Credit Parties shall, without further notice or demand from Lender, pay any such shortfall amounts to the Lock Box Account within three (3) Business Days from the Payment Date for which such amounts were due, or notwithstanding the foregoing order and priority, Lender shall have the right to sweep from the Lock Box Account any such shortfall amounts immediately upon any Receipts coming into the Lock Box Account.

(iii)             Power of Attorney. It is intended that all Receipts, and all other checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment or proceeds of Collateral at any time received, due or owing to the Credit Parties from a Customer, any other Person, or otherwise, shall be deposited directly into the Lock Box Account, and if not deposited directly into the Lock Box Account, shall be immediately remitted or endorsed by the Credit Parties to Lender into the Lock Box Account, and, if that remittance or endorsement of any such item shall not be immediately made for any reason, Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to remit or endorse the same on Credit Parties’ behalf. For purpose of this Section, the Credit Parties irrevocably hereby make, constitute and appoint Lender (and all Persons designated by Lender for that purpose) as the Credit Parties’ true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact: (A) to endorse the Credit Parties’ name upon said Receipts or items of payment and/or proceeds of Collateral and upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any Receipts of the Credit Parties; (B) to take control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds thereof; (C) to have access to the Credit Parties’ operating accounts, through the Credit Parties’ online banking system, or otherwise, to make remittances of any Receipts deposited therein into the Lock Box Account as required hereby; (D) to have access to any lock box or postal box into which any of the Credit Parties’ mail is deposited, and open and process all mail addressed to the Credit Parties and deposited therein; and (E) direct and otherwise deal with all Payment Processing Companies, or other Persons, to insure that all Receipts, payments and reserves as hereby contemplated are remitted to the Lock Box Account.

(iv)             Rights Upon Default. Lender may, at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether before or after notification to any Customer and whether before or after the maturity of any of the Obligations: (A) enforce collection of any of the Accounts (including all Eligible Accounts) and Receipts of the Credit Parties or other amounts owed to the Credit Parties by suit or otherwise; (B) exercise all of the rights and remedies of the Credit Parties with respect to Proceedings brought to collect any Accounts (including all Eligible Accounts), Receipts, or other amounts owed to the Credit Parties; (C) surrender, release or exchange all or any part of any Accounts (including all Eligible Accounts), Receipts, or other amounts owed to the Credit Parties, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder; (D) sell or assign any Account (including all Eligible Accounts) or Receipts of the Credit Parties, or other amount owed to the Credit Parties, upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as Lender deems advisable; (E) prepare, file and sign any Credit Parties’ name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against any Customer or other Person obligated to the Credit Parties; and (F) do all other acts and things which are necessary, in Lender’s sole discretion, to fulfill the Credit Parties’ obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to allow Lender to collect the Accounts (including all Eligible Accounts), Receipts, or other amounts owed to the Credit Parties. In addition to any other provision hereof, Lender may at any time after the occurrence and during

the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Credit Parties’ expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Accounts (including all Eligible Accounts) and Receipts to make payment directly to Lender of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.

(v)               Statement. From time to time, Lender may deliver to Borrower an invoice and or an account statement showing all Revolving Loans, charges and payments, which shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower, unless Borrower notifies Lender in writing, specifying any error therein, within thirty (30) days of the date such account statement is sent to Borrower and any such notice shall only constitute an objection to the items specifically identified.

(vi)             Authorization to Deduct Amounts in Lock Box.

(1)               Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any time that any charges, fees, amounts or other Obligations are due and owing by any Credit Parties to Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender shall have the right, and is hereby authorized, to deduct such charges, fees, amounts or other Obligations directly from the Lock Box Account and from all receipts from time to time deposited therein.

(2)               Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary and in addition to the amounts provided in Section 2.1(e)(ii), the Lender may from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, retain in the Lock Box Account any and all amounts deposited into the Lock Box Account by any Customer that the Lender deems necessary or appropriate (i) to prevent any insecurity by the Lender with respect to the total value of the Collateral (including, but not limited to, the amount held in the Lock Box Account at any time) when compared to the outstanding amount of all Obligations owed to the Lender; and (ii) to ensure that the Collateral (including, but not limited to the amount held in the Lock Box Account) is and remains of a value to adequately serve as appropriate security for the Obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder.

2.2              Fees.

(a)                Asset Monitoring Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender an asset monitoring fee (“Asset Monitoring Fee”) equal to ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇/▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Dollars (US$1,500.00), which shall be due and payable on the Effective Date, and thereafter on the first day of each third (3^rd) calendar month during the term of this Agreement. The Asset Monitoring Fee shall be increased in increments of Five Hundred and No/100 United States Dollars (US$500.00) each time the Revolving Loan Commitment amount is increased pursuant to Section 2.1(b); provided that the Asset Monitoring Fee shall never exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 United States Dollars (US$2,500.00).

(b)               Transaction Advisory Fee. In addition to the Advisory Fee contained in Section 2.2(f) herein, the Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a transaction advisory fee equal to four percent (4.0%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment as of the Effective Date, and two percent (2.0%) on the amount of any increase thereof pursuant to Section 2.1(b), which shall be

due and payable on the Effective Date and on the date of any increase to the Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.1(b).

(c)                Due Diligence Fees. Borrower agrees to pay a due diligence fee equal to Eighteen Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 United States Dollars (US$18,500.00), which shall be due and payable in full on the Effective Date, or any remaining portion thereof shall be due and payable on the Effective Date if a portion of such fee was paid upon the execution of any term sheet related to this Agreement.

(d)               Document Review and Legal Fees. Borrower agrees to pay a document review and legal fee equal to Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 United States Dollars (US$25,000.00) which shall be due and payable in full on the Effective Date, or any remaining portion thereof shall be due and payable on the Effective Date if a portion of such fee was paid upon the execution of any term sheet related to this Agreement.

(e)                Other Fees. Borrower also agrees to pay to the Lender (or any designee of the Lender), upon demand, or to otherwise be responsible for the payment of, any and all other costs, fees and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Lender and of any experts and agents, which the Lender may incur or which may otherwise be due and payable in connection with: (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver, subordination, or other modification or termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (provided that there shall be no fees for the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement other than as specifically set forth in the closing or settlement statement executed by Borrowers and Lender on the Effective Date); (ii) any documentary stamp taxes, intangibles taxes, recording fees, filing fees, or other similar taxes, fees or charges imposed by or due to any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents; (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Lender under this Agreement or the Loan Documents; or (iv) the failure by the Credit Parties to perform or observe any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. Included in the foregoing shall be the amount of all expenses paid or incurred by Lender in consulting with counsel concerning any of its rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or under applicable law. All such costs and expenses, if not so immediately paid when due or upon demand thereof, shall bear interest from the date of outlay until paid, at the Default Rate. All of such costs and expenses shall be additional Obligations of the Credit Parties to Lender secured under the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(f)                      Advisory Fees. The Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee for advisory services provided by the Lender to the Borrower prior to the Effective Date in the amount of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 United States Dollars (US$750,000.00) (the “Advisory Fee”) by issuing to Lender that number of shares of the Borrower’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) having an initial liquidation value equal to the Advisory Fee. It is agreed that the number of shares of Series B Preferred issuable to Lender under this Section 2.2(f) shall be 30 (including any Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred is convertible, the “Advisory Fee Shares”). The Borrower shall instruct its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to issue certificates representing the Advisory Fee Shares issuable

to the Lender immediately upon the Borrower’s execution of this Agreement, and shall cause its Transfer Agent to deliver such certificates to Lender within five (5) Business Days from the Effective Date. Upon conversion of the share of Series B Preferred, the Lender shall never be in possession of an amount of Common Stock greater than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Borrower provided, however that this ownership restriction described in this Section may be waived by Lender, in whole or in part, upon 61 days’ prior written notice. In the event such certificates representing the Advisory Fee Shares issuable hereunder shall not be delivered to the Lender within said five (5) Business Day period, same shall be an immediate default under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Advisory Fee Shares, when issued, shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock. The Advisory Fee Shares shall be deemed fully earned as of the Effective Date, regardless of the amount or number of Revolving Loans made hereunder. 

(i)                 Adjustments. It is the intention of the Borrower and Lender that the Lender shall be able to sell (if Lender so elects, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) the Advisory Fee Shares, and generate net proceeds (net of all brokerage commissions and other fees or charges payable by Lender in connection with the sale thereof) from such sale equal to the Advisory Fee. The Lender shall use its best efforts to sell the Advisory Fee Shares in the Principal Trading Market or otherwise, at any time in accordance with applicable securities laws. At any time the Lender may elect, the Lender may deliver to the Borrower a reconciliation statement showing the net proceeds actually received by the Lender from the sale of the Advisory Fee Shares (the “Sale Reconciliation”). If, as of the date of the delivery by Lender of the Sale Reconciliation, the Lender has not realized net proceeds from the sale of such Advisory Fee Shares equal to at least the Advisory Fee, as shown on the Sale Reconciliation, then the Borrower shall immediately take all required action necessary or required in order to cause the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or Series B Preferred to the Lender in an amount sufficient such that, when sold and the net proceeds thereof are added to the net proceeds from the sale of any of the previously issued and sold Advisory Fee Shares, the Lender shall have received total net funds equal to the Advisory Fee. If additional shares of Common Stock or Series B Preferred are issued pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, and after the sale of such additional issued shares of Common Stock or Series B Preferred, the Lender still has not received net proceeds equal to at least the Advisory Fee, then the Borrower shall again be required to immediately take all required action necessary or required in order to cause the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or Series B Preferred to the Lender as contemplated above, and such additional issuances shall continue until the Lender has received net proceeds from the sale of such Common Stock or Series B Preferred equal to the Advisory Fee. In the event the Lender receives net proceeds from the sale of Advisory Fee Shares equal to the Advisory Fee, and the Lender still has Advisory Fee Shares remaining to be sold, the Lender shall return all such remaining Advisory Fee Shares to the Borrower. In the event additional Common Stock or Series B Preferred is required to be issued as outlined above, the Borrower shall instruct its Transfer Agent to issue certificates representing such additional shares of Common Stock or Series B Preferred to the Lender immediately subsequent to the Lender’s notification to the Borrower that additional shares of Common Stock or Series B Preferred are issuable hereunder, and the Borrower shall in any event cause its Transfer Agent to deliver such certificates to Lender within three (3) Business Days following the date Lender notifies the Borrower that additional shares of Common Stock or Series B Preferred are to be issued hereunder. In the event such certificates representing such additional shares of Common Stock

or Series B Preferred issuable hereunder shall not be delivered to the Lender within said three (3) Business Day period, same shall be an immediate default under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, the Borrower shall have the right to redeem any Advisory Fee Shares then in the Lender’s possession for an amount payable by the Borrower to Lender in cash equal to the Advisory Fee, less any net cash proceeds received by the Lender from any previous sales of Advisory Fee Shares. Upon Lender’s receipt of such cash payment in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Lender shall return any then remaining Advisory Fee Shares in its possession back to the Borrower and otherwise undertake any required actions reasonably requested by Borrower to have such then remaining Advisory Fee Shares returned to Borrower. The Borrower’s obligation to pay the Advisory Fee contemplated by this Section 2.2(f), whether in cash or thru the sale of Advisory Fee Shares, shall be an Obligation hereunder, secured by all Loan Documents, and failure by the Borrower to pay such Advisory Fee in full as required by this Section 2.2(f) shall be an immediate Event of Default hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event the Lender elects to increase the Revolving Loan Commitment as permitted by this Agreement, the Borrower agrees to pay additional advisory fees to Lender either in cash or in a similar manner as set forth in this Section 2.2(f) through the issuance of additional Advisory Fee Shares, at Lender’s sole discretion, in an amount to be mutually agreed upon between Lender and Borrower.

(ii)               Mandatory Redemption. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Lender has not realized net proceeds from the sale of Advisory Fee Shares equal to at least the Advisory Fee by the earlier to occur of: (A) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Date; (B) the occurrence of an Event of Default; or (C) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, then at any time thereafter, the Lender shall have the right, upon written notice to the Borrower, to require that the Borrower redeem all Advisory Fee Shares then in Lender’s possession for cash equal to the Advisory Fee, less any cash proceeds received by the Lender from any previous sales of Advisory Fee Shares, if any. In the event such redemption notice is given by the Lender, the Borrower shall redeem the then remaining Advisory Fee Shares in Lender’s possession for an amount of Dollars equal to the Advisory Fee, less any cash proceeds received by the Lender from any previous sales of Advisory Fee Shares, if any, payable by wire transfer to an account designated by Lender within five (5) Business Days from the date the Lender delivers such redemption notice to the Borrower.

(iii)             Piggyback Registration Rights. In the event that the Borrower files a registration statement with respect to its Common Stock with the SEC (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form thereto) after the Effective Date but before the Lender sells the Advisory Fee Shares, the Advisory Fee Shares shall be registered pursuant to such registration statement.

(g)         Matters with Respect to Common Stock.

(i)                 Issuance of Conversion Shares. The parties hereto acknowledge that pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Note, Lender has the right, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to convert amounts due under the Revolving Note into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Notes. In the event, for any reason, the Borrower fails to issue, or cause the Transfer Agent to issue, any portion of the Common Stock issuable

upon conversion of the Revolving Notes (the “Conversion Shares”) to Lender in connection with the exercise by Lender of any of its conversion rights under the Revolving Note, then the parties hereto acknowledge that Lender shall irrevocably be entitled to deliver to the Transfer Agent, on behalf of itself and the Borrower, a “Conversion Notice” (as defined in the Revolving Note) requesting the issuance of the Conversion Shares then issuable in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Note, and the Transfer Agent, provided they are the acting transfer agent for the Borrower at the time, shall, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Borrower, issue the Conversion Shares applicable to the Conversion Notice then being exercised, and surrender to a nationally recognized overnight courier for delivery to Lender at the address specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate of the Common Stock of the Borrower, registered in the name of Lender or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares to which Lender shall be then entitled under the Revolving Note, as set forth in the Conversion Notice.

(ii)               Issuance of Additional Common Stock. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Borrower has agreed to issue, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement and in the future, certain shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2(f) above. In the event, for any reason, the Borrower fails to issue, or cause its Transfer Agent to issue, any portion of the Common Stock issuable to Lender hereunder, either now or in the future, then the parties hereto acknowledge that Lender shall irrevocably be entitled to deliver to the Transfer Agent, on behalf of itself and the Borrower, a written instruction requesting the issuance of the shares of Common Stock then issuable, and the Transfer Agent, provided they are the acting transfer agent for the Borrower at the time, shall, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Borrower, issue such shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock as directed by Lender, and surrender to a nationally recognized overnight courier for delivery to Lender at the address specified in the Lender’s notice, a certificate of the Common Stock of the Borrower, registered in the name of Lender, for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to Lender in accordance herewith.

(iii)             Removal of Restrictive Legends. In the event that Lender has any shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock bearing any restrictive legends, and Lender, through its counsel or other representatives, submits to the Transfer Agent any such shares for the removal of the restrictive legends thereon, whether in connection with a sale of such shares pursuant to any exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act, or otherwise, and the Borrower and or its counsel refuses or fails for any reason to render an opinion of counsel or any other documents, certificates or instructions required for the removal of the restrictive legends, then: (A) to the extent such legends could be lawfully removed under applicable laws, Borrower’s failure to provide the required opinion of counsel or any other documents, certificates or instructions required for the removal of the restrictive legends shall be an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents; and (B) the Borrower hereby agrees and acknowledges that Lender is hereby irrevocably and expressly authorized to have counsel to Lender render any and all opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be required for purposes of removing such restrictive legends, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Borrower, issue any such shares without restrictive legends as instructed by Lender, and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address

as specified by Lender, certificates, registered in the name of Lender or its designees, representing the shares of Common Stock to which Lender is entitled, without any restrictive legends and otherwise freely transferable on the books and records of the Borrower.

(iv)             Authorized Agent of the Borrower. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender and its counsel and its representatives, each as the Borrower’s duly authorized agent and attorney-in-fact for the Borrower for the purposes of authorizing and instructing the Transfer Agent to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from Lender, or any counsel or representatives of Lender, as specifically contemplated herein. The authorization and power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as any Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents remain outstanding, and so long as the Lender owns or has the right to receive, any shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock hereunder or under the Revolving Notes. In this regard, the Borrower hereby confirms to the Transfer Agent and the Lender that it can NOT and will NOT give instructions, including stop orders or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement with regard to the matters contemplated herein, and that the Lender shall have the absolute right to provide a copy of this Agreement to the Transfer Agent as evidence of the Borrower’s irrevocable authority for Lender and Transfer Agent to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from Lender, or any counsel or representatives of Lender, as specifically contemplated herein, without any further instructions, orders or confirmations from the Borrower.

(v)               Injunction and Specific Performance. The Borrower specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of any provision of this Section, the Lender will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if this Agreement were not specifically enforced.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Section by the Borrower, the Lender shall be entitled to obtain, in addition to all other rights or remedies Lender may have, at law or in equity, an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this Section 2.2(f).

(h)               Surviving Obligations. The Credit Parties agree and acknowledge that notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, or the payment in full of all of the Revolving Loans or other obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, the Credit Parties’ obligations and liability under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Lender’s Lien and security interest on all Collateral, shall survive, shall remain valid and effective and shall not be released or terminated, until the Lender receives the full amount of the Advisory Fee in cash, either through the sale of Advisory Fee Shares, or through cash payments from Borrower as contemplated by Section 2.2(f). All of the Credit Parties’ obligations under Section 2.2(f) and Section 2.2(g) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(i)                 Right to Approve Transfer Agent. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that the Borrower’s current Transfer Agent is West Coast Stock Transfer, whose contact information is as follows: ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ The Borrower hereby agrees that it shall not change the Transfer Agent, unless the Lender first

approves the proposed new Transfer Agent, such approval to be in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

2.3              Renewal of Revolving Loans; Non-Renewal of Revolving Loans; Fees. So long as no Event of Default exists under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, and so long as no event has occurred that, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, Borrower shall have the option to request a renewal of the Revolving Loan Commitment and extension of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date for one (1) additional six (6) month period. To make such request, Borrower shall give written notice to Lender of Borrower’s request to renew the Revolving Loan Commitment and extend the Revolving Loan Maturity Date for an additional six (6) month period on or before a date that is thirty (30) days prior to the then scheduled Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Lender may elect to accept or reject Borrower’s request for a renewal of the Revolving Loan Commitment and extension of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date in its sole and absolute discretion, and any acceptance may be conditioned upon additional obligations, terms and conditions, including an increase in the percentage used to calculate the amount of Mandatory Principal Repayment Amount.

2.4              Interest and Fee Computation; Collection of Funds. Interest accrued hereunder shall be payable as set forth in Section 2.1(c) hereof. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and shall be paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Principal payments submitted in funds not immediately available shall continue to bear interest until collected. If any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving Note shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing any interest in respect of such payment. Any Obligations which are not paid when due (subject to applicable grace periods) shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

All monies so disbursed shall be a part of the Obligations, payable by Borrower to Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.7              US Dollars; Currency Risk. All Receipts will be in Dollars. In the event Receipts are not in Dollars, Borrower shall bear the risk of Lender’s currency losses, and if Lender suffers a currency loss and the result is to increase the cost to Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender under this Agreement or under the Revolving Note with respect thereto, then after demand by Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate

setting forth reasonably detailed calculations of the basis of such demand), Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or such reduction. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to advance or cause an advance of Revolving Loans to pay for the increased costs or reductions associated with any such currency losses.

14.6          MANDATORY FORUM SELECTION.  TO INDUCE LENDER TO MAKE THE LOANS, CREDIT PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS AGREEMENT OR RELATED TO ANY MATTER WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE COLLATERAL (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH CLAIM IS BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT OR TORT) SHALL, EXCEPT AS HEREINAFTER PROVIDED, BE SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE STATE AND/OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA OR ▇▇▇▇▇ COUNTY, NEVADA, AS DETERMINED BY LENDER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, LENDER MAY, AT LENDER’S SOLE OPTION, ELECT TO BRING ANY ACTION IN ANY OTHER

JURISDICTION.  THIS PROVISION IS INTENDED TO BE A “MANDATORY” FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE AND GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED CONSISTENT WITH FLORIDA LAW OR NEVADA LAW, AS APPLICABLE. BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT HAVING ITS SITUS IN SAID COUNTY (OR TO ANY OTHER JURISDICTION OR VENUE, IF LENDER SO ELECTS), AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS. CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO BORROWER, AS SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN THE MANNER PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OF COURT OR OTHERWISE.

14.7          Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Agreement or any other applicable law. In the event the total liability of payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall, for any reason whatsoever, result in an effective rate of interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Agreement, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice by, between, or to any party hereto, be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of this Agreement immediately upon receipt of such sums by the Lender, with the same force and effect as though the Borrower had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of such outstanding principal balance and the Lender hereof had agreed to accept such sums as a penalty-free payment of principal; provided, however, that the Lender may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the Borrower, to waive, reduce, or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the outstanding principal balance. It is the intention of the parties that the Borrower do not intend or expect to pay nor does the Lender intend or expect to charge or collect any interest under this Agreement greater than the highest non-usurious rate of interest which may be charged under applicable law.

14.8          Assignability. Lender may at any time assign Lender’s rights in this Agreement, the Revolving Note, any Loan Documents, the Obligations, or any part thereof, and transfer Lender’s rights in any or all of the Collateral, all without the Credit Parties’ consent or approval, and Lender thereafter shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such instrument or Collateral so transferred. In addition, Lender may at any time sell one or more participations in the Loans, all without the Credit Parties’ consent or approval. The Credit Parties may not sell or assign this Agreement, any Loan Document or any other agreement with Lender, or any portion thereof, either voluntarily or by operation of law, nor delegate any of its duties of obligations hereunder or thereunder, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. This Agreement shall be binding upon Lender and the Credit Parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted

assigns. All references herein to a Credit Party shall be deemed to include any successors, whether immediate or remote. In the case of a joint venture or partnership, the term “Borrower” or “Credit Party” shall be deemed to include all joint venturers or partners thereof, who shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.

14.9          Confidentiality. Each of the Credit Parties shall keep confidential any information obtained from Lender (except information publicly available or in Credit Parties’ domain prior to disclosure of such information from Lender, and except as required by applicable laws) and shall promptly return to the Lender all schedules, documents, instruments, work papers and other written information without retaining copies thereof, previously furnished by it as a result of this Agreement or in connection herewith.

14.10      Publicity. Lender shall have the right to approve, before issuance, any press release or any other public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby made by the Credit Parties; provided, however, that the Credit Parties shall be entitled, without the prior approval of Lender, to issue any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions required under applicable securities or other laws or regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Credit Parties shall use its best efforts to consult Lender in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release and Lender shall be provided with a copy thereof upon release thereof. Lender shall have the right to make any press release with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the Credit Parties’ approval. In addition, with respect to any press release to be made by Lender, Borrower hereby authorizes and grants blanket permission to Lender to include the Borrower’s stock symbol, if any, in any press releases. Borrower shall, promptly upon request, execute any additional documents of authority or permission as may be requested by Lender in connection with any such press releases.

14.11      Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective upon execution by the Credit Parties and Lender.

14.12      Governing Law. Except in the case of the Mandatory Forum Selection Clause in Section 14.6 above, which clause shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with Florida law or Nevada law, as applicable, this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the Revolving Note shall be delivered and accepted in, and shall be deemed to be contracts made under and governed by, the internal laws of the State of Nevada, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions of such State. The governing law provisions of this Section 14.12 are a material inducement for Lender to enter into this Agreement, and the Borrower hereby agrees, acknowledges and understands that the Lender would not have entered into this Agreement, nor made or provided the Loans, without the full agreement and consent of the Credit Parties, with full knowledge and understanding, that except in the case of the Mandatory Forum Selection Clause in Section 14.6 above, which clause shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with Florida law or Nevada law, as applicable, this Agreement, and each of the Loan Documents, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Nevada, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions. In this regard, each of the Credit Parties hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed this Agreement and all Loan Documents, and specifically, this Section 14.12, with competent counsel selected by the

Credit Parties, and in that regard, each of the Credit Parties fully understands the choice of law provisions set forth in this Section. In addition, each of the Credit Parties agrees, and acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to negotiate the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with and through its counsel, and that the Credit Parties have sufficient leverage and economic bargaining power, and have used such leverage and economic bargaining power, to fairly and fully negotiate this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in a manner that is acceptable to the Credit Parties. Moreover, because of the material nature of this choice of law provision in inducing Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans to the Credit Parties, each of the Credit Parties hereby fully and absolutely waives any and all rights to make any claims, counterclaims, defenses, to raise or make any arguments (including any claims, counterclaims, defenses, or arguments based on grounds of public policy, unconscionability, or implied covenants of fair dealing and good faith), or to otherwise undertake any litigation strategy or maneuver of any nature or kind that would result in, or which otherwise seeks to, invalidate this choice of law provision, or that would otherwise result in or require the application of the laws of any other State other than the State of Nevada in the interpretation or governance of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (except for the Mandatory Forum Selection clause in Section 14.6 hereof). Each of the Credit Parties has carefully considered this Section 14.12 and has carefully reviewed its application and effect with competent counsel, and in that regard, fully understands and agrees that Lender would not have entered into this Agreement, nor made the Loans, without the express agreement and acknowledgement of each of the Credit Parties to this choice of law provision, and the express waivers set forth herein.

14.13      Enforceability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by, unenforceable or invalid under any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be severable and be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

14.14      Survival of Borrower’s Representations. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein shall, notwithstanding any investigation by Lender, be deemed material and relied upon by Lender and shall survive the making and execution of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and the issuance of the Revolving Note, and shall be deemed to be continuing representations and warranties until such time as the Credit Parties have fulfilled all of its Obligations to Lender, and Lender has been indefeasibly paid in full. Lender, in extending financial accommodations to Borrower, is expressly acting and relying on the aforesaid representations and warranties.

14.15      Extensions of Lender’s Commitment and the Revolving Note. This Agreement shall secure and govern the terms of any extensions or renewals of Lender’s commitment hereunder and the Revolving Note pursuant to the execution of any modification, extension or renewal note executed by Borrower, consented and agreed to by the Guarantors, and accepted by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion in substitution for the Revolving Note.

14.16      Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in making payments of all amounts due Lender under this Agreement and in the performance and observance by the Credit Parties of each covenant, agreement, provision and term of this Agreement.

14.17      Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall be deemed and considered one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format file or other similar format file, such signature shall be deemed an original for all purposes and shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page was an original thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not be obligated to accept any document or instrument signed by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format file or other similar format file as an original, and may in any instance require that an original document be submitted to Lender in lieu of, or in addition to, any such document executed by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format file or other similar format file.

14.18      Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers, or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same in accordance with the information below, and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) if mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the address below, then three (3) Business Days after deposit of same in a regularly maintained U.S. Mail receptacle; or (ii) if mailed by Federal Express, UPS or other nationally recognized overnight courier service, overnight delivery, then one (1) Business Day after deposit of same in a regularly maintained receptacle of such overnight courier; or (iii) if hand delivered, then upon hand delivery thereof to the address indicated on or prior to 5:00 p.m., EST, on a Business Day. Any notice hand delivered after 5:00 p.m., EST, shall be deemed delivered on the following Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice, consents, waivers or other communications referred to in this Agreement may be sent by facsimile, e-mail, or other method of delivery, but shall be deemed to have been delivered only when the sending party has confirmed (by reply e-mail or some other form of written confirmation) that the notice has been received by the other party.  The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall be as set forth below, unless such address or information is changed by a notice conforming to the requirements hereof. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances:

14.19      Indemnification. As a material inducement for Lender to enter into this Agreement, the Credit Parties agree to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Lender, and its parent companies, Subsidiaries, Affiliates, divisions, and their respective attorneys, officers, directors, agents, shareholders, members, partners, employees, and representatives, and the predecessors, successors, assigns, personal representatives, heirs and executors of each of them (including those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each, a “Lender Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Lender Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, Proceedings, suits, claims, costs, expenses and distributions of any kind or nature (including the disbursements and the reasonable fees of counsel and paralegals for each Lender Indemnitee thereto throughout all trial and appellate levels, bankruptcy Proceedings, mediations, arbitrations, administrative hearings and at all other levels and tribunals), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Lender Indemnitee (whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local laws or regulations, including securities, Environmental Laws and commercial laws and regulations, under common law or in equity, or based on contract, tort, or otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, including the making or issuance and management of the Loans, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans, the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Revolving Note, any other instruments and documents delivered hereunder, or under any other agreement between Borrower and Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Credit Parties shall satisfy such undertaking to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense covered by this indemnity shall be paid to each Lender Indemnitee on demand, and, failing prompt payment, shall, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by each Lender Indemnitee until paid by Borrower, be added to the Obligations of Borrower and be secured by the Collateral. The provisions of this Section shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

14.20      Release. In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each Credit Party hereby agrees to fully, finally and forever release and forever discharge and covenant not to ▇▇▇ the Lender Indemnitees, and each one of them, from any and all debts, fees, attorneys’ fees, liens, costs, expenses, damages, sums of money, accounts, bonds, bills, covenants, promises, judgments, charges, demands, claims, causes of action, Proceedings, suits, liabilities, expenses, obligations or contracts of any kind whatsoever, whether in law or in equity, whether asserted or unasserted, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, under statute or otherwise, from the beginning of time through the Effective Date, including any and all claims relating to or arising out of any financing transactions, credit facilities, notes, debentures, security agreements, and other agreements, including each of the Loan Documents, entered into by the Credit Parties with Lender and any and all claims that the Credit Parties do not know or suspect to exist, whether through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or otherwise, and which, if known, would materially affect their decision to enter into this Agreement or the related Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

14.21      Interpretation. If any provision in this Agreement requires judicial or similar interpretation, the judicial or other such body interpreting or construing such provision shall not apply the assumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against one party because of the rule that an instrument must be construed more strictly against the party which itself or through its agents prepared the same. The parties hereby agree that all parties and their agents have participated in the preparation hereof equally.

14.22      Compliance with Federal Law. The Credit Parties shall: (i) ensure that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls the Credit Parties is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the Department of the Treasury, included in any Executive Orders or any other similar lists from any Governmental Authority; (ii) not use or permit the use of the proceeds of the Loans to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, or any other similar national or foreign governmental regulations; and (iii) comply with all applicable Lender Secrecy Act (“BSA”) laws and regulations, as amended. As required by federal law and Lender’s policies and practices, Lender may need to obtain, verify and record certain customer identification information and documentation in connection with opening or maintaining accounts or establishing or continuing to provide services.

14.23      Consents. With respect to any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents which require the consent or approval of Lender, unless expressly otherwise provided in any such provision, such consent or approval may be granted, conditioned, or withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. In any event, when any consent or approval of Lender is required under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, the Credit Parties shall not be entitled to make any claim for, and the Credit Parties hereby expressly waives any claim for, damages incurred by the Credit Parties by reason of Lender’s granting, conditioning or withholding any such consent or approval, and the Credit Parties’ sole and absolute remedy with respect thereto shall be an action for specific performance. To the extent

any consent or approval is given by Lender under any provision hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, such consent or approval shall only be applicable to the specific instance to which it relates and shall not be deemed to be a continuing or future consent or approval, and any such consent or approval shall not impose any liability or warranty obligation on the Lender.

14.24      Non-U.S. Status. THE LENDER IS A NON-U.S. PERSON AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. IT IS HEREBY AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER MAY BE SOLD OR RESOLD ONLY TO NON-U.S. PERSONS. THE INTEREST PAYABLE HEREUNDER IS PAYABLE ONLY OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. ANY U.S. PERSON WHO HOLDS THIS OBLIGATION WILL BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS UNDER THE UNITED STATES INCOME TAX LAW.
