Subject to the foregoing limitations, and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow hereunder.

If at any time the rate of interest specified in the Revolving Note would exceed the Maximum Rate but for the provisions thereof limiting interest to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction shall not reduce the rate of interest on the Revolving Loans below the Maximum Rate until the aggregate amount of interest accrued on the Revolving Loans equals the aggregate amount of interest which would have accrued on the Revolving Loans if the interest rate had not been limited by the Maximum Rate.

Interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time ON DEMAND.
(b) Computation of Interest. Interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

If after the date hereof, the Lender shall have determined that any central bank or other Governmental Authority properly authorized to do so has adopted or implemented (and has taken all necessary action to legally adopt or implement) any applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, compliance with which by the Lender would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby to a level below that which the Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, implementation, 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 ten Business 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. The Lender will give the Borrower notice of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement which will entitle the Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section promptly after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and no claim by the Lender for compensation under this Section shall in any case be made until such time as the Lender determines that it is legally required to comply with such law, rule, regulations or change thereto giving rise to such claim.

Section 10.2 Lender Not Fiduciary. The relationship between the Obligated Parties and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with the Obligated Parties, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between the Obligated Parties and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.
Section 10.3 Equitable Relief. Borrower recognizes that in the event Borrower fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the Obligations, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender. Borrower therefore agrees that Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
Section 10.4 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
Section 10.5 Successors and Assigns.

Section 10.6 Survival. All representations and warranties made in any of the Loan Documents or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in connection with any of the Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no investigation by Lender or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of Lender to rely upon them. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of Borrower hereunder, the obligations of Borrower under Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and termination of the Commitment.
Section 10.7 Amendment. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower or any other Obligated Party is a party may be amended or waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties thereto in the case of an amendment or by the party granting the waiver in the case of a waiver.

Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (b) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such lawsuit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court, and (c) further waives any claim that it may now or hereafter have that any such court is an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto agree that service of process upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested or by overnight courier service which provides evidence of delivery to the address for notices referenced in Section 10.8 hereof.
Section 10.10 Counterparts.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
Section 10.17 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Lender is authorized to complete and file financing statements in any state to perfect the security interests granted by any of the Loan Documents.
Section 10.18 Additional Interest Provision. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the indebtedness evidenced by any Note, any Loan Document, and the Related Indebtedness (as defined in the Revolving Note) (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (a) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to any Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (b) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of any Note and/or any and all indebtedness paid or payable by Borrower to Lender pursuant to any Loan Document other than any Note (such other indebtedness being referred to in this Section as the “Related Indebtedness”), or (c) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (or, if any Note and all Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of any Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if any Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of any such Note, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against such Note and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Note to which the alleged violation relates and/or the Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of such Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to such Note and/or the Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note[s] and/or any of the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 33 |
Section 10.19 Ceiling Election. To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Rate payable on any Note and/or any other portion of the Related Indebtedness, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.
Section 10.20 USA Patriot Act Notice. Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and each other Obligated Party, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and each other Obligated Party and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower and each other Obligated Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, Borrower agrees to (a) ensure that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the OFAC, the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Order, (b) not to use or permit the use of proceeds of the Obligations to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of the OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, and (c) comply, or cause its Subsidiaries to comply, with the applicable laws.

Pursuant to the agreement, the chief financial officer agreed not to convert the note or exercise the warrant prior to December 31, 2018.

The principal amount of the note is convertible at the option of the holder into such securities as are issued in the next financing, except that the amount of the principal of the note represented by the original issuance discount ($16,400) is automatically converted into securities issued in the next financing. The outstanding balance on the note totaled $88,350 at December 31, 2018 (including principal of $98,400 and unamortized debt discount of $10,050).
