WHEREAS, the Borrower has agreed to pledge certain collateral to secure the loans hereunder, as set out herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in contemplation of the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants, representations and warranties contained herein, and for other valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

1. Preamble and Appendices. The preamble and appendices hereto constitute inseparable parts hereof.

2. Loan Advances; Payment of Principal and Interest; Purpose

2.1 From and after the Effective Date, each Lender shall make a loan available to the Borrower, in an amount set forth with respect to such Lender in Appendix A, and up to an aggregate of $750,000 (Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars) from all Lenders, on the terms, and subject to the conditions, of this Agreement (“Loans”).

2.2 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and provided that no Event of Default (as defined herein) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, within five (5) business days following the Borrower’s request to Lenders (or such other time as the Borrower and the Majority Lenders shall agree), the Lenders will advance to the Borrower such requested amount, but in no event will each Lender, shall be required to advance an aggregate amount exceeding the amount set forth with respect to such Lender in Appendix A (each, an “Advance”). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Majority Lenders” means the Lenders who advanced in aggregate at least 50% of the Advances under this agreement.

2.3 The Borrower shall repay each Lender the aggregate principal amount of its respective Loan or so much thereof as may be advanced by or owing to each Lender (and not repaid or prepaid by the Borrower), together with accrued interest thereon and any fees in relation thereto, if any, each calculated and payable as and to the extent set forth below.

Such payments of principal and interest shall be made by wire transfers into the Lenders’ bank accounts, details of which shall be provided by each Lender to the Borrower.

2.4 The Borrower covenants to each Lender that the Borrower shall use each Advance solely for general corporate or working capital purposes and not in violation of applicable laws (the “Permitted Use”).

3. Security. As security for the payment in full of its Loans and accrued interest and performance of its other undertakings hereunder, the Borrower hereby grants to the Lenders, their successors and assigns, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest for the benefit of the Lenders, in the assets and rights listed in Appendix B, respectively, on the terms set forth in the security documents attached hereto as Appendix B (the “Security”).

(iii) the Borrower pursuant to or within the meaning of any insolvency law: (a) commences a voluntary case or proceeding; (b) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding; (c) consents to the appointment of any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar office under any insolvency law (“Custodian”) of it or for all or substantially all of its property; (d) makes general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (e) generally is unable to pay its debts as they become due;

(iv) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree (that remains unstayed and in effect for sixty (60) days) under any applicable law that: (a) appoints a Custodian of the Borrower or for all or substantially all of its property; or (b) orders the liquidation of Borrower;

2

9.3 If an Event of Default, other than the Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(i), hereof, occurs, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the principal balance of the Loans and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall become due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of any or all of the Lenders and without presentment, demand, protest or other notice or action of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

9.4 If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lenders may proceed to protect and enforce their rights either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for specific performance of any provision of this Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted to the Lenders under this Agreement

If such interest rate is so reduced and thereafter the maximum rate legally enforceable is increased, the rate of interest required to be paid hereunder shall be automatically increased to the lesser of the maximum rate legally enforceable and the rate otherwise provided for in this Agreement.
