This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is dated as of October 11, 2007 and agreed to by and between HOUSE OF XXXXXX JEWELRY, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”), any other Credit Party executing this Agreement, and NEW STREAM SECURED CAPITAL, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Lender”).

RECITALS

Borrower desires to obtain the Loans and other financial accommodations from Lender and Lender is willing to provide the Loans and accommodations all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in Schedule A and, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the rules of construction set forth in Schedule A shall govern. All schedules, attachments, addenda and exhibits hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference, and taken together with this Agreement, constitute but a single agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

1.1

Loans

. i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from the Closing Date and until the Commitment Termination Date (1) Lender agrees to make available to Borrower advances (each, a “Revolving Credit Advance”) and (2) Borrower may at its request from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 1.1. The Revolving Credit Loan shall be evidenced by, and be repayable in accordance with the terms of, the Revolving Credit Note and this Agreement.

(b)

Borrower shall request each Revolving Credit Advance by written notice to Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each a “Notice of Revolving Credit Advance”) given no later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day of the proposed advance. After the Closing Date, each Revolving Credit Advance shall be in an amount of not less than $50,000. Lender shall be fully protected under this Agreement in relying upon, and shall be entitled to rely upon, (3) any Notice of advance believed by Lender to be genuine, and (4) the assumption that the Persons making electronic requests or executing and delivering a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance were duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for Lender shall have actual knowledge to the contrary. As an accommodation to Borrower, Lender may permit telephonic, electronic, or facsimile requests for a Revolving Credit Advance and electronic or facsimile transmittal of instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Lender by Borrower. Unless Borrower specifically directs Lender in writing not to accept or act upon telephonic, facsimile or electronic communications from Borrower, Lender shall have no liability to Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by Borrower as a result of Lender’s honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically, by facsimile or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Lender by Borrower

and Lender shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the identity or authority of the Person sending it.

(c)

In making any Loan hereunder Lender shall be entitled to rely upon the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Lender by Borrower and other information available to Lender. Lender shall be under no obligation to make any further Revolving Credit Advance or incur any other Obligation if Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate to Lender by the time specified in Section 4.1(b).

(d)

Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make the Term Loan to Borrower on the Closing Date in the original principal amount specified in the Term Note. The Term Note shall be evidenced by, and be repayable in accordance with the terms of, the Term Note and this Agreement.

1.2

Term and Prepayment

. ii) Upon the Commitment Termination Date the obligation of Lender to make Revolving Credit Advances and extend other credit hereunder shall immediately terminate and Borrower shall pay to Lender in full, in cash: (5) all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon; (6) all principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Term Loan; and (7) all other non-contingent Obligations due to or incurred by Lender.

(b)

If the Revolving Credit Loan shall at any time exceed the Borrowing Availability, then Borrower shall immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loan in the amount of such excess.

(c)

Borrower shall have the right, at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender to (8) terminate voluntarily Borrower’s right to receive or benefit from, and Lender’s obligation to make and to incur, Revolving Credit Advances, (9) prepay all or a portion of the Term Loan; provided, that, any prepayment of less than all of the outstanding balance of the Term Loan shall be applied to the remaining installments of the Term Loan in the inverse order of their maturity, and (10) prepay all of the Obligations. The effective date of termination of the Revolving Credit Loan and the Term Loan specified in such notice shall be the Commitment Termination Date.

1.3

Use of Proceeds

. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans to refinance on the Closing Date certain outstanding Indebtedness as provided in Section 2.1(b) and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

1.4

Single Loan

. The Loans and all of the other Obligations of Borrower to Lender shall constitute one general obligation of Borrower secured by all of the Collateral.

1.5

Interest

. iii) Borrower shall pay interest to Lender on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Advances at a floating rate equal to the greater of (11) the Index Rate plus two and one-half (2.50%) per annum or (12) ten (10%) percent per annum (the “Revolving Credit Rate”) and on the outstanding balance of the Term Loan at a rate equal to eighteen (18%) percent per annum (the “Term Loan Rate”). All computations of interest shall be made by Lender on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest or fee is payable. Each determination by Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. In no event will Lender charge interest at a rate that


	2

exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable.

(b)

Interest shall be payable on the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and balance of the Term Loan (13) in arrears for the preceding calendar month on the first day of each calendar month, (14) on the Commitment Termination Date, and (15) if any interest accrues or remains payable after the Commitment Termination Date, upon demand by Lender.

(c)

Effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) and for so long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the Revolving Credit Rate and the Term Loan Rate shall automatically be increased by three percentage points (3%) per annum and effective upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default under Section 7.1 and for so long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the Revolving Credit Rate and the Term Loan Rate shall automatically be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum (such increased rates, the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations, including unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations.

(d)

If any interest or any other payment (including Unused Line Fees and Collateral Monitoring Fees) to Lender under this Agreement becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

1.6

Cash Management System

. On or prior to the Closing Date and until the Termination Date, Borrower will establish and maintain the cash management system described in Schedule D. All payments in respect of the Collateral shall be made to or deposited in the blocked or lockbox accounts described in Schedule D in accordance with the terms thereof.

1.7

Fees

. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender the Fees set forth in Schedule E.

1.8

Receipt of Payments

. Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement (not otherwise made pursuant to Section 1.9) without set-off, counterclaim or deduction and free and clear of all Taxes not later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds to the Collection Account. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from any payment to Lender under any Loan Document, then the amount payable to Lender shall be increased so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to that which it would have received had no such deductions been made. For purposes of computing interest and Fees, all payments shall be deemed received by Lender following receipt of immediately available funds in the Collection Account. For purposes of determining the Borrowing Availability, payments shall be deemed received by Lender upon receipt of immediately available funds in the Collection Account.

1.9

Application and Allocation of Payments

. Borrower irrevocably agrees that Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply any and all payments against the then due and payable Obligations in such order as Lender may deem advisable. Lender is authorized to, and at its option may (without prior notice or precondition and at any time or times), but shall not be obligated to, make or cause to be made Revolving Credit Advances on behalf of Borrower for: iv) payment of all Fees,


	3

expenses, indemnities, charges, costs, principal, interest, or other Obligations owing by Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, v) the payment, performance or satisfaction of any of Borrower’s obligations with respect to preservation of the Collateral, or vi) any premium in whole or in part required in respect of any of the policies of insurance required by this Agreement, even if the making of any such Revolving Credit Advance causes the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loan to exceed the Borrowing Availability, and Borrower agrees to repay immediately, in cash, any amount by which the Revolving Credit Loan exceeds the Borrowing Availability.

1.10

Accounting

. Lender is authorized to record on its books and records the date and amount of each Loan and each payment of principal thereof and such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. Lender shall provide Borrower on a monthly basis a statement and accounting of such recordations but any failure on the part of the Lender to keep any such recordation (or any errors therein) or to send a statement thereof to Borrower shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay any of the Obligations. Except to the extent that Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after such statement and accounting is sent, notify Lender in writing of any objection Borrower may have thereto (stating with particularity the basis for such objection), such statement and accounting shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower, absent manifest error.

1.11

Indemnity

. Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Lender and its Affiliates, and their respective employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of, or in any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, including any and all product liabilities, Environmental Liabilities, Taxes and legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with disputes between or among any parties to any of the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”), except to the extent that any such Indemnified Liability is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY CREDIT PARTY, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

1.12

Borrowing Base; Reserves

. The Borrowing Base shall be determined by Lender (including the eligibility of Accounts and Inventory) based on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to


	4

Lender in accordance with Section 4.1(b) and such other information available to Lender. The Revolving Credit Loan shall be subject to Lender’s continuing right to withhold from Borrowing Availability reserves, and to increase and decrease such reserves from time to time, if and to the extent that in Lender’s good faith credit judgment such reserves are necessary, including to protect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or to protect Lender against possible non-payment of Accounts for any reason by Account Debtors or possible diminution of the value of any Collateral or possible non-payment of any of the Obligations or for any Taxes or in respect of any state of facts that could constitute a Default. Lender may, at its option in its good faith credit judgment, implement reserves by designating as ineligible a sufficient amount of Accounts or Inventory that would otherwise be Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory, as the case may be, so as to reduce the Borrowing Base by the amount of the intended reserves.

3.5

Material Adverse Change

. Between the date of Borrower’s most recently audited Financial Statements delivered to Lender and the Closing Date: xx) no Corporate Credit Party has incurred any obligations, contingent or non-contingent liabilities, or liabilities for Charges, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments that are not reflected in the Projections delivered on the Closing Date and which could, alone or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; xxi) there has been no material deviation from such Projections; and xxii) no events have occurred that alone or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of any Credit Party has or have had

. The real estate listed in Disclosure Schedule (3.6) constitutes all of the real property owned, leased, or used by each Corporate Credit Party in its business, and such Credit Party will not execute any material agreement or contract in respect of such real estate after the date of this Agreement without giving Lender prompt prior written notice thereof.

. Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule (3.7), as of the Closing Date no Corporate Credit Party has any Subsidiaries, is engaged in any joint venture or partnership with any other Person, or is an Affiliate of any other Person. All of the issued and outstanding Stock of each Corporate Credit Party (including all rights to purchase, options, warrants or similar rights or agreements pursuant to which any Corporate Credit Party may be required to issue, sell, repurchase or redeem any of its Stock) as of the Closing Date is owned by each of the Stockholders (and in the amounts) set forth in Disclosure Schedule (3.7). All outstanding Indebtedness of each Corporate Credit Party as of the Closing Date is described in Disclosure Schedule (5(b)).

3.8

Government Regulation; Margin Regulations

. No Corporate Credit Party is subject to or regulated under any Federal or state statute, rule or regulation that restricts or limits such Person’s ability to incur Indebtedness, pledge its assets, or to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. The making of the Loans, the application of the proceeds and repayment thereof, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents do not and will not violate any Requirement of Law. No Corporate Credit Party is engaged, nor will it engage, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin security” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). No Corporate Credit Party owns any Margin Stock, and none of the proceeds of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock or reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock. No Corporate Credit Party will take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Loan Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

3.9

Taxes; Charges

. Except as disclosed in Disclosure Schedule (3.9) all tax returns, reports and statements required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by Borrower or any other Credit Party have, as of the Closing Date, been filed and will, until the Termination Date, be filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority and no tax Lien has been filed against any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s property. Proper and accurate amounts have been and will be withheld by Borrower and


	8

each other Credit Party from their respective employees for all periods in complete compliance with all Requirements of Law and such withholdings have and will be timely paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities. Disclosure Schedule (3.9) sets forth as of the Closing Date those taxable years for which any Credit Party’s tax returns are currently being audited by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority and any assessments or threatened assessments in connection with such audit, or otherwise currently outstanding. Except as described on Disclosure Schedule (3.9), none of the Credit Parties or their respective predecessors are liable for any Charges: xxiii) under any agreement (including any tax sharing agreements or agreement extending the period of assessment of any Charges) or xxiv) to each Credit Party’s knowledge, as a transferee. As of the Closing Date, no Credit Party has agreed or been requested to make any adjustment under IRC Section 481(a), by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.10

Payment of Obligations

. Each Credit Party will pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all of its Charges and other obligations of whatever nature, except where the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of such Credit Party and none of the Collateral is or could reasonably be expected to become subject to any Lien or forfeiture or loss as a result of such contest.

3.11

ERISA

. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other existing ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in a liability of any Credit Party of more than the Minimum Actionable Amount. Except as disclosed in Disclosure Schedule (3.11), the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of the Credit Parties under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent Financial Statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by more than the Minimum Actionable Amount, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Account Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent Financial Statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such underfunded Plans by more than the Minimum Actionable Amount. No Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any Withdrawal Liability in excess of the Minimum Actionable Amount..

3.12

Litigation

. No Litigation is pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened by or against any Credit Party or against any Credit Party’s properties or revenues xxv) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or xxvi) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule (3.12), as of the Closing Date there is no Litigation pending or threatened against any Credit Party that seeks damages in excess of $50,000 or injunctive relief or alleges criminal misconduct of any Credit Party. Each Credit Party shall notify Lender promptly in writing upon learning of the existence, threat or commencement of any Litigation against any Credit Party, any ERISA Affiliate or any Plan or any allegation of Criminal misconduct against any Credit Party.

3.13

Intellectual Property

. As of the Closing Date, all material Intellectual Property owned or used by any Corporate Credit Party is listed, together with application or registration numbers, where


	9

7.2

Remedies

. xlvi) If any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender may terminate or suspend its obligation to make further Revolving Credit Advances. In addition, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may, without notice, take any one or more of the following actions: (60) declare all or any portion of the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable whereupon such Obligations shall become and be due and payable; or (61) exercise any rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code; provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Sections 7.1 (e), (f) or (g), the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable (and any obligation of Lender to make further Loans, if not previously terminated, shall immediately be terminated) without declaration, notice or demand by Lender.

(b)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement expressly agrees that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale, to the extent permitted by law, to purchase for the benefit of Lender the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity of redemption, which right Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned, or continued from time to time with or without notice. Lender shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Credit Party’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Credit Party’s premises without rent or other charge for such sales or other action with respect to the Collateral for such time as Lender deems necessary or advisable.

(c)

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at Lender’s request, Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement agrees, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places that Lender shall reasonably select, whether at its premises or elsewhere. Until Lender is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, Lender shall have the right to complete, assemble, use or operate the Collateral or any part thereof, to the extent that Lender deems appropriate, for the purpose of preserving such Collateral or its value or for any other purpose. Lender shall have no obligation to any Credit Party to maintain or preserve the rights of any Credit Party as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Lender. Lender may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Lender’s remedies with respect thereto without prior notice or hearing. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives all claims, damages, and demands against Lender, its Affiliates, agents, and the officers and employees of any of them arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of any Collateral except such as are determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement agrees that ten (10) days’ prior notice by Lender to such Credit Party of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Borrower and each other Credit Party shall remain liable for


	21

any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is entitled.

(d)

Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that Lender may have under any Loan Document or at law or in equity. Recourse to the Collateral shall not be required. All provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited, to the extent necessary, so that they do not render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.

7.3

Waivers by Credit Parties

. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives: xlvii) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Loan Documents, the Notes or any other notes, commercial paper, Accounts, Contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties at any time held by Lender on which such Credit Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard; xlviii) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Lender’s taking possession or control of, or to Lender’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing Lender to exercise any of its remedies; and xlix) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws. Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.

7.4

Proceeds

. The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon any Collateral shall be applied by Lender upon receipt to the Obligations in such order as Lender may deem advisable in its sole discretion and after the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations, and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Sections 9-608(a)(1) and 9-615(a)(3) of the Code (but only after Lender has received what Lender considers reasonable proof of a subordinate party’s security interest), the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Borrower or its representatives or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

Each Loan Document shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower and each other Credit Party executing such Loan Document, Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise provided herein or therein. Neither Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign, transfer, hypothecate, delegate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties under any Loan Document without the prior express written consent of Lender. Any such purported conveyance by Borrower or such Credit Party without the prior express written consent of Lender shall be void. There shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of any of the Loan Documents. Lender reserves the right at any time to create and sell participations in the Loans and the Loan Documents and to sell, transfer or assign any or all of its rights in the Loans and under the Loan Documents.

9.3

No Waiver

. Neither Lender’s failure, at any time, to require strict performance by Borrower or any other Credit Party of any provision of any Loan Document, nor Lender’s failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof or waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.

Any suspension or waiver of a Default or other provision under the Loan Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Default or other provision under any Loan Document, and shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion. None of the undertakings, indemnities, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Borrower or any other Credit Party to Lender contained in any Loan Document and no Default by Borrower or any other Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer or other authorized employee of Lender and directed to Borrower specifying such suspension or waiver (and then such waiver shall be effective only to the extent therein expressly set forth), and Lender shall not, by any act (other than execution of a formal written waiver), delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder.
