(a) In connection with the execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement by the Lender and the Borrower, the Borrower shall issue to the Lender a three-year warrant to purchase 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant”) in the form of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit A and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement or the Warrant, the Warrant is not exercisable for, or controvertible into, any shares of Common Stock, and the Lender may not purchase any shares of Common Stock under the Warrant, prior to the Exercise Date (as defined in the Warrant).
9.02 Investor Representations. The Lender represents and warrants to the Borrower that:
(a) The Lender has such knowledge, skill and experience in business, financial and investment matters that the Lender is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. The Lender, with the assistance of its professional advisors, has made its own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. The Lender is able to bear the risks associated with an investment in the Securities, and it is authorized to invest in the Securities.
(b) The Lender is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
(c) The Lender is acquiring the Securities solely for the Lender’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities. The Lender understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of the Lender and of the other representations made by the Lender in this Credit Agreement. The Lender understands that the Borrower is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Credit Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining compliance with such exemptions.
(d) The Lender understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and that the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission provide in substance that the Lender may dispose of the Securities only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Lender understands that, except as otherwise set forth in the Warrant, the Borrower has no obligation or intention to register any of the Securities, or the offering or sale thereof, or to take action so as to permit offers or sales pursuant to the Securities Act or an exemption from registration thereunder. Consequently, the Lender understands that it must bear the economic risks of the investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.
(e) The Lender agrees: (i) that the Lender will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, unless the transaction is registered under the Securities Act and complies with the requirements of all applicable state securities laws, or the transaction is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable requirements of state securities laws; (ii) that the certificates representing the Securities will bear a legend, and any book-entry registration of the Securities will bear a notation, in each case in form and substance acceptable to the Borrower, making reference to the foregoing restrictions; and (iii) that the Borrower and its Affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such Securities, except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
18 |
(f) The Lender acknowledges that neither the Borrower nor any other person offered to sell the Securities to the Lender by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, including: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio; or (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all Parties. The Lender may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or electronic document or signature.
10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by the Lender to exercise, and no delay by the Lender in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers, and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers, and privileges provided by law.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay Lender’s attorney fees and expenses in connection with the negotiation, documentation and closing of the Credit Facility, not to exceed $10,000.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all Attorney Costs actually incurred. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Credit Facility and repayment of all other Obligations.
10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Lender, or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.
10.06 Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender. Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the Parties, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement.
20 |
10.07 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to offset and apply any and all indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to the Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable indebtedness. The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application made by the Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
10.08 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal amount of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest and (b) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
10.09 Counterparts. This Credit Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

This Credit Agreement, together with the other Credit Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the Parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Credit Agreement and those of any other Credit Document, the provisions of this Credit Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Lender in any other Credit Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Credit Agreement. Each Credit Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Obligations hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
21 |
10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.13 Governing Law.
(a) This Credit Agreement and all other Credit Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, excluding its choice-of-law principles, and all claims, disputes and controversies relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or the breach thereof, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall likewise be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, excluding its choice-of-law principles.

The Company and the Lender each waives personal service of any summons, complaint, or other process, which may be made by any other means permitted by the Law of the State of Florida.
10.14 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
