The Lender shall make Advances of the Loan upon the written request of the Borrower to the Lender and the Lender shall make such Advance to the Borrower in U.S. dollars and readily available funds within 30 days of the Lender’s receipt of such request by the Borrower (the “Advance Request”).

Notwithstanding anything set forth under this Credit Agreement, the Lender shall only be obligated to make such Advances that are necessary to satisfy the Fulfillment Costs relating to the Binding Contract and in no event shall such Advance, or in the aggregate each Advance, exceed the Maximum Amount.

For value received, the undersigned GelTech Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (the “Holder”) the principal sum ______________________ ($________________) or, if less, the then unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Advances (as defined in that certain Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, dated July ___, 2008, between the Company and the Holder (the “Credit Agreement”)) made by the Holder pursuant to the Agreement.

The Company promises to repay the Advance as set forth in the Credit Agreement (the “Principal Balance”). The Company further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Advance to be computed on each Advance of a Loan from the date of its disbursement to Borrower at the rate set forth in the Loan Agreement. Interest shall be computed as provided in the Loan Agreement and shall be due at the same time the Principal Balance is due.
This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time without penalty. Any prepayment must include all accrued interest to the date of prepayment. Any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary) shall be applied in the same order as provided above, and the acceptance of any such prepayment when there is a default under this Note shall not constitute a waiver, release or accord and satisfaction thereof or any rights held by the Holder.
Upon any Event of Default, the Holder may, without notice or demand, declare the then outstanding Principal Balance and all outstanding interest immediately due and payable and shall then have in any jurisdiction where enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to any other rights or remedies, the rights and remedies set forth in the Loan Agreement.
Borrower will be deemed to be in default under this Note and the outstanding unpaid principal balance on this Note, together with all interest accrued thereon, will immediately become due and payable in full, without the need for any further action on the part of Holder, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
1
No provision hereof shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal hereof and interest, if any, herein at the time and place specified herein.
The rights and remedies of the Holder shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued separately or successively, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise. Failure to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release thereof.
The Company hereby waives presentment for payment, notice of demand, notice of non-payment or dishonor, protest, notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of payment of this Note, and hereby waives all notice or right of approval of any extensions, renewals, or modifications or forbearance which may be allowed.
Upon the occurrence of a default, in addition to accrued interest the Company shall pay the Holder as additional interest a sum equal to 15% of the outstanding Principal Balance.
This Note shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.
The Company agrees that: (a) the obligation evidenced by this Note is an exempted transaction under the Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 1601, et seq.; (b) said obligation constitutes a business loan for the purpose of the application of any laws that distinguish between consumer loans and business loans and that have as their purpose the protection of consumers; (c) the proceeds of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note will not be used for the purchase of registered equity securities within the purview of Regulation “U” issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; and (d) upon demand or upon the due date if no demand is made, the Holder shall not have any obligation to refinance the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or to extend further credit to the Company.
The Company and the Holder, as an independent covenant, irrevocably waive the right to a jury trial and the right thereto in any and all disputes between the Company and such holder hereunder.
Upon any endorsement, assignment, or other transfer of this Note by the Holder or by operation of law, the term “Holder,” as used herein, shall mean such endorsee, assignee, or other transferee or successor to the Holder, then becoming the holder of this Note. This Note shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the undersigned and their successors and assigns. The term “Company” as used herein, shall include the respective successors and assigns of the Company and any other obligor.
All makers and endorsers now or hereafter becoming parties hereto jointly and severally waive demand, presentment, notice of non-payment and protest and, if this Note becomes in default and is placed into the hands of an attorney for collection, to pay attorney’s fees and all
2
other costs incurred in connection with such collection provided the Holder is the prevailing party.
Any provision hereof found to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder hereof.
This Note was reviewed by all of the parties hereto who fully understand the terms and consequences of this Note and have been duly advised by their counsel concerning all aspects of the transactions contemplated herein.
Any provision of this Note may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both Borrower and Holder. No waiver or consent with respect to this Note will be binding or effective unless it is set forth in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is asserted. No course of dealing between Borrower and Holder will operate as a waiver or modification
of any party's rights or obligations under this Note. No delay or failure on the part of either party in exercising any right or remedy under this Note will operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver given on one occasion will not be construed as a bar to, or as a waiver of, any right or remedy on any future occasion.
This Note incorporates by reference all the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to all provisions contained therein with respect to Events of Default, waivers, remedies and covenants, and the description of the benefits, rights and obligations of each of Borrower and Holder under the Credit Agreement.
