such authority: Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, CEO of Aspyra, Inc.; and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Chief
Financial Officer of Aspyra, Inc. Minimum advance amount of

LINE OF CREDIT. Xxxxxx agrees to make Advances

Conditions Precedent to Each Advance. Xxxxxx's
obligation to make any Advance to or for the account of Borrower under this
Agreement is subject to the following conditions precedent, with all documents,
instruments, opinions, reports, and other items required under this Agreement to
be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender:

principal amount of all Advances then outstanding and all accrued unpaid
interest, together with all other applicable fees, costs and charges, if any,
not yet paid.

Borrower deems to be incorrect.
COLLATERAL. To secure payment of the Primary
Credit Facility and performance of all other Loans, obligations and duties owed

XXXXXX'S
EXPENDITURES. If any action or
proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Xxxxxx's interest in the

under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Borrower's behalf may
(but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate,
including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security
interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on any
Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving any
Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes
will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date
incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Xxxxxxxx. All such
expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Xxxxxx's option, will
(A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be
apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due
during either (1 } the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the
remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be
due and payable at the Note's maturity.

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends on
its stock to its shareholders from time to time in amounts necessary to enable
the shareholders to pay income taxes and make estimated income tax payments to
satisfy their liabilities under federal and state law which arise
solely from their status as Shareholders of a Subchapter S Corporation because
of their ownership of shares of Borrower's stock, or purchase or retire any of
Borrower's outstanding shares or alter or amend Borrower's capital

or setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such
accounts.

an Event of Default under this Agreement:
Payment Default. Xxxxxxxx fails to make any
payment when due under the Loan.
Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with

Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture
proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any
other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against

Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Xxxxxxxx as
to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Xxxxxx written notice of
the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined
by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the
dispute.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to
any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes

insecure.
Right to Cure. If any default,
other than a default on Indebtedness, is curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as
the case may be, has not been given a notice of a similar default within the
preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrower or Grantor, as the
case may be, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such
default: (1) cure the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure
requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate steps which Xxxxxx
deems in Xxxxxx's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and
thereafter continue and complete all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient
to produce compliance as soon as reasonably
practical.
EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where
otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments
and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any
other agreement immediately will terminate (including any obligation to make
further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all
Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any
kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type
described in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be
automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and
remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or
otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights
and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Election by Xxxxxx to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit
of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to
perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Xxxxxx's
right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and
remedies.

disputes, claims and controversies between them whether individual, joint, or
class in nature, arising from this Agreement or otherwise, including without
limitation contract and tort disputes, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the Rules
of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time the claim is
filed, upon request of either party. No act to take or dispose of any Collateral

relief or a temporary restraining order; invoking a power of sale under any deed

this Agreement shall preclude any party from seeking equitable relief

matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy
Borrower may have with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally waives any

writing and signed by Xxxxxx. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in
exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.
A waiver by Xxxxxx of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or
constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with
that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by
Xxxxxx, nor any course of dealing between Xxxxxx and Borrower, or between Lender
and any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any
of Borrower's or any Grantor's obligations as to any future transactions.

such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent
to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such

unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending
provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. if

becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so

provision of this Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or
enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

extent the context of any provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate,
including without limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word
"Borrower" as used in this Agreement shall include all of Borrower's
subsidiaries and affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no

Borrower contained in this Agreement or any Related Documents shall bind
