Each of the Borrower and the Lender acknowledges and agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, that the Outstanding Obligations shall be deemed funded by the Lender on the Closing Date as part of the Term Loan under this Section 2.1(a), and such funding shall be deemed to refinance hereunder the Outstanding Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement.

To the extent repaid, the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

(b)          The Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make loans (each, a “Revolving Loan,” and collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, from time to time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that, immediately after each Revolving Loan is made, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans by the Lender shall not exceed $1,000,000 (as such figure may be reduced from time to time as provided in this Agreement, the “Revolving Credit Commitment”). Subject to Section 3.2, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.1(b), repay or prepay Revolving Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.1(b) at any time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and any such repayment or prepayment may be made in whole or in part and without premium or penalty.

Each such notice shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the aggregate principal amount to be prepaid, and shall be irrevocable and shall bind the Borrower to make such prepayment on the terms specified therein. Each prepayment of the Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments in the inverse order of maturity.

(d)          Not later than 90 days after receipt by any Credit Party of any proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation in respect of any Casualty Event (or, if earlier, upon its determination not to repair or replace any property subject to such Casualty Event or to acquire assets used or useable in the business of the Credit Parties), the Borrower will (i) prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Casualty Event (less any amounts theretofore applied (or contractually committed to be applied) to the repair or replacement of property subject to such Casualty Event or to acquire assets used or useable in the business of the Credit Parties) and will deliver to the Lender, concurrently with such prepayment, a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender and setting forth the calculation of such Net Cash Proceeds and (ii) if any such Net Cash Proceeds remain following the prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan in full, the remaining Net Cash Proceeds from such Casualty Event shall be used to reduce the principal amount of the Revolving Loans.

(d)          Interest on the Loans and fees shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

(e)          Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to the Lender at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by governing law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid under this Agreement exceeds the maximum rate permitted by governing law, the rate of interest required to be paid hereunder shall be automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted by governing law and any amounts collected in excess of the permissible amount shall be deemed a prepayment of principal hereunder.

If on or prior to the first day of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Lender determines that deposits in U.S. Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered in the relevant market, or (ii) the Lender determines that LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding a Revolving Loan, the Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist the obligation of the Lender to fund Revolving Loans shall be suspended unless the Borrower and the Lender can mutually agree upon a different formulation for the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing.

If, after the date hereof, any Change of Law, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Lender to make, maintain or fund Revolving Loans, then the Lender shall so notify the Borrower, whereupon until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lender to fund Revolving Loans shall be suspended. If the Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans.

(ii)         shall impose on the Lender or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting Loans or its obligation to make Revolving Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender under this Agreement with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b)          If the Lender shall have determined that after the date hereof, any Change of Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such reduction.

(c)          The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle the Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section. A certificate of the Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d)          The provisions of this Section 2.12 shall be applicable with respect to any participant, assignee or other transferee, and any calculations required by such provisions shall be made based upon the circumstances of such participant, assignee or other transferee.

The Lender may, in its sole discretion, (i) terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment, which shall thereupon terminate; (ii) declare all or any part of the Loans immediately due and payable, whereupon such Loans shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice or legal process of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that all Loans shall automatically become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 8.1(f) or (h); and (iii) pursue all other remedies available to it by contract, at law or in equity, including but not limited to its rights under the Security Documents.

No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Borrower and the Lender or their agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

ARTICLE IX

The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with: (i) any amendments, supplements, consents or waivers hereto or to the Credit Documents because of actual or prospective Defaults or Events of Default, and (ii) the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and agrees to save the Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrower shall pay amounts referred to in this Section directly.

9.2           Indemnification. From and at all times after the date of this Agreement, and in addition to all of the Lender’s other rights and remedies against the Borrower, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Lender and its directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, assigns and affiliates from and against the following (collectively “Costs”): any and all claims (whether valid or not), losses, damages, actions, suits, inquiries, investigations, administrative proceedings, judgments, liens, liabilities, penalties, fines, amounts paid in settlement, requirements of Governmental Authorities, punitive damages, interest, damages to natural resources and other costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs and fees, and consultant and expert witness fees and expenses) arising in any manner, directly or indirectly, out of or by reason of (a) the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, or any transaction contemplated herein or therein, whether or not the Lender or any other party protected under this Section is a party to any action, proceeding or suit in question, or the target of any inquiry or investigation in question; provided, however, that no indemnified party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability resulting from such indemnified party’s willful misconduct, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of any of its covenants hereunder or under any other Credit Document (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction); and, provided, further, that no indemnified party shall have the right to be reimbursed hereunder for typical “closing” costs incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, (b) any breach of any of the covenants, warranties or representations of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document, (c) any lien or charge upon amounts payable hereunder by the Borrower to the Lender or any taxes, assessments, impositions and other charges in respect of the collateral described in the Security Documents, (d) damage to property or any injury to or death of any person that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to any such collateral or the use thereof, (e) any violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Law, federal or state securities law, common law, equitable requirement or other legal requirement by the Borrower or with respect to any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower (in the past, currently or in the future), or (f) any presence, generation, treatment, storage, disposal, transport, movement, release, suspected release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance on, in, to or from any property (or any part thereof including without limitation the soil and groundwater thereon and thereunder) owned, leased or operated by the Borrower (in the past, currently or in the future).

AS PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR NEW VALUE THIS DAY RECEIVED, EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE COURTS OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN FOR ANY ACTION TO WHICH THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER ARE PARTIES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED ON LACK OF JURISDICTION OR IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS TO THE CONDUCT OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER PROCEEDING TO WHICH THE BORROWER OR THE LENDER IS A PARTY, INCLUDING ANY ACTIONS BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING OR STATEMENT (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE LENDER OR THE BORROWER. THE BORROWER ALSO CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE COURT.

9.4           Notices. All demands, notices, approvals, consents, requests, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when the writing is delivered, if given or delivered by hand, overnight delivery service or facsimile transmitter (with confirmed receipt), or five (5) days after being mailed, if mailed, by first class, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address or telecopy number set forth below.

Such notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications shall be sent to the following Persons at the following addresses:

The Borrower or the Lender may, by notice given hereunder, designate any further or different addresses or telecopy numbers to which subsequent demands, notices, approvals, consents, requests or other communications shall be sent or persons to whose attention the same shall be directed.

9.5           Continuing Obligations. All agreements, representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Borrower further agrees that to the extent the Borrower makes a payment to the Lender, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar state or federal statute, or principle of equity, then, to the extent of such repayment by the Lender, the Obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received by the Lender.

9.6           Confidential Information. In the event the Receiving Party (including its officers, employees, counsel, accountants, partners and other authorized representatives) obtains or has obtained from the Disclosing Party any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party (i) shall treat all such Confidential Information as confidential, (ii) shall use such Confidential Information only for the purposes contemplated in the Credit Documents and the Investment Agreement (and related documents), (iii) shall protect such Confidential Information with the same degree of care as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information against public disclosure, but in no case with less than reasonable care, and (iv) shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party except to such officers, employees, counsel, accountants, partners and other authorized representatives of the Receiving Party, its Affiliates or potential permitted transferees of the Receiving Party’s rights under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents who need to know such Confidential Information for any proper purpose related to the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby and who have been informed of and have agreed in writing to protect the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and not to use such Confidential Information for any unlawful purpose (and the Receiving Party shall be responsible for compliance with this Section 9.6 by its and its Affiliates’ officers, employees, counsel, accountants, partners and other authorized representatives) or to the extent required by applicable Requirements of Law, provided that, if not prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law, the Receiving Party will (i) provide reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order and (ii) to cooperate with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, to obtain such protective order. Each party agrees that, due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information, the unauthorized disclosure or use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party may cause irreparable harm and significant injury to the Disclosing Party, the extent of which may be difficult to ascertain and for which there may be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, each party agrees that the Disclosing Party, in addition to any other available remedies, shall have the right to seek an immediate injunction and other equitable relief enjoining any breach or threatened breach of this Section 9.6 without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party in writing immediately upon the Receiving Party’s becoming aware of any such breach or threatened breach. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Investment Document, this Section 9.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Subject to the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall prohibit the Lender from pledging or assigning this Agreement and the Lender’s rights under any of the other Credit Documents, including collateral therefor, so long as any such pledgee or assignee is a “United States Person” for purposes of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. Any attempted assignment, delegation or transfer in violation of this Section 9.9 shall be void and of no force and effect.

9.10         Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER INVESTMENT DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED CONTEMPORANEOUSLY HEREWITH EMBODY THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDE ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS OF SUCH PERSONS, VERBAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

9.14         Captions. The captions to the various sections and subsections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall not limit or affect any of the terms hereof.

9.15         Termination of Existing Credit Agreement. Upon the Closing Date and except with respect to any provisions which by their terms survive termination, the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall be deemed to be terminated without any further action by the parties thereto.

The Borrower and the Lender shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or other public disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and neither shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement with respect thereto without the prior consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party, issue such press release or make such public disclosure as may upon the advice of counsel be required by Law or by the rules of the OTCQB, provided that, to the extent time permits, such party has used all commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party prior thereto.
