2. REVOLVING LOANS
2.1 Revolving Loans.
(a) Lender
shall, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and the satisfaction
of the closing and funding conditions set forth herein, make revolving loans to
Borrower (“Revolving
Loans”) during the Term in amounts requested by Borrower from time to
time, provided
that the requested Revolving Loan would not cause the outstanding Revolving
Loans to exceed the lesser of the Maximum Credit or the Borrower
Base existing immediately prior to the making of the requested
Revolving Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower
may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans, as set forth in this
Agreement.
(b) Revolving
Loans may be drawn in tranches of not less than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000) no more than 5 (five) times each month (each drawing, an
“Advance” and
collectively, the “Advances”). The obligation of
Borrower to repay the Advances shall be evidenced by a note (the "Note") in the form of Exhibit
B hereto and
dated the date hereof.
13
(c) Subject to mandatory payment of Advances as set
forth in Section 2.1(d) below, the principal amount of the Revolving
Loans shall be payable on the Maturity Date.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,
Borrower shall repay the Advances immediately at any time and from time to time
in an amount by which the outstanding principal balance of the Advances exceeds
the Maximum Credit, as determined by Lender, based on the most recent monthly
Inventory reconciliation report delivered by Borrower to Lender in accordance
with Section 9.5 hereof.
(e) Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, but no more
frequently than five (5) times every thirty (30) days, Borrower will
notify Lender by delivery of a borrowing certificate certified by a Responsible
Officer (“Borrowing
Certificate”) setting forth in reasonable detail a schedule of Eligible
Accounts and Eligible Inventory, and the calculation of the Advance requested in
connection therewith, which shall in all respects be subject to Lender’s review
and approval. Lender shall be entitled to rely on any facsimile transmission of
a Borrowing Certificate given by a person who Lender reasonably believes to be a
Responsible Officer, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless for
any damages or loss suffered by Lender as a result of such reliance. The funding
of each Advance shall be made in accordance with the applicable Borrowing
Certificate as approved by Lender.
(f) Until the Revolving Loans have been
repaid and this Agreement has been terminated, remittances and all other
proceeds of Borrower’s accounts receivable shall be sent to a lockbox
designated by and/or maintained in the name of Lender, and deposited into a bank
account now or hereafter selected by Lender and maintained in the name of Lender
under arrangements with the depository bank under which all funds deposited to
such bank account are required to be transferred solely to
Lender. Once instituted, such lockbox system shall remain in effect
until the sooner of the termination of this Agreement or such time as Lender
directs otherwise. Borrower shall bear all risk of loss of any funds
deposited into such account except to the extent such loss is covered by the
gross negligence or the willful misconduct of Lender. In connection
therewith, Borrower shall execute such lockbox and bank account agreements as
Lender shall reasonably specify to effect the transactions contemplated hereby,
including the Lockbox Agreement. Until this Agreement is terminated,
any collections or other proceeds received by Borrower from sales of Eligible
Inventory and the proceeds from the receipt of the Borrower’s accounts
receivables shall be held in trust for Lender and immediately remitted to Lender
in kind.
2.2 Maximum Credit. The
aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Maximum
Credit.
2.3 Reserves. Without
limiting any other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents, the Maximum Credit shall be subject to Lender's continuing
right, in its sole discretion, to withhold a Reserve from Borrower's
availability under the Maximum Credit.
2.4 Use of
Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of each Advance
solely for working capital purposes and such other purposes as are set forth
in Section 2.4 of the Borrower’s Disclosure Schedule, or as otherwise
agreed in writing by Lender prior to the release of such Advance under Section
2.1 hereunder.
14
2.5 Repayment. Except as
otherwise set forth herein, Borrower shall repay the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Loans and all accrued and unpaid Interest, as calculated
in Section 3.1, on or prior to the Maturity Date.
SECTION
3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES
3.1 Interest.
(a) Interest
(“Interest”) on all
Loans shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a
year of 360 days. Interest shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the greater
of (i) the sum of (A) the Base Rate plus (B) Two Percent (2.0%), or (ii) Ten
Percent (10%), and shall be payable by Borrower in arrears (x) prior to the
Maturity Date, on the first Business Day of each calendar month, (y) in full on
the Maturity Date and (z) on demand after the Maturity Date. Should Borrower
fail to fully repay the Loans and/or all accrued Interest on the Maturity Date,
then interest on all outstanding Loans, including principal and Interest, shall
accrue at the Default Rate, compounded quarterly.
(b) For
the purposes of this Section 3.1,
(i) “Base Rate” means a rate per
annum equal to the “Prime Rate” as reported in the “Money Rates”
column of The Wall
Street Journal, adjusted as and when such Prime Rate
changes.
(ii) “Default Rate” means a rate
per annum equal to fifteen percent (15%).
3.2 Servicing
Fee. Borrower shall pay Moriah Capital Partners LLC a
servicing fee (“Servicing
Fee”) of $82,500.00 on the date hereof. Such fee shall be deemed fully
earned on the date hereof and shall not be subject to rebate or proration for
any reason.
3.3 Late Charges. If the
payment of any Obligation due hereunder is more than fifteen
(15) days overdue, then, in addition to any interest charges payable
by Borrower in connection therewith, Lender may charge Borrow a late
fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of such overdue
payment.
15
3.4 Fees and
Expenses. Borrower shall pay, on Lender's demand, all costs,
expenses, filing fees and taxes payable in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, recording, administration, collection, liquidation,
enforcement and defense of the Obligations, Lender's rights in the Collateral,
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other existing and future
agreements or documents contemplated herein or related hereto, including any
amendments, waivers, supplements or consents which may now or hereafter be made
or entered into in respect hereof, or in any way involving claims or defenses
asserted by Lender or claims or defenses against Lender asserted by Borrower or
any third party directly or indirectly arising out of or related to the
relationship between Borrower and Lender, including, but not limited to the
following, whether incurred before, during or after the Term or after the
commencement of any case with respect to Borrower under the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any similar or successor statute: (a) all costs and expenses
of filing or recording (including UCC Financing Statement and mortgage filing
fees; (b) all title insurance and other insurance premiums, appraisal fees, fees
incurred in connection with any environmental report and audit, survey and
search fees and charges; (c) all fees relating to lockbox charges and fees, the
wire transfer of loan proceeds and other funds and fees for returned checks; ;
and (d) all costs, fees and disbursements of counsel to Lender; provided,
however, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to
any due diligence conducted by the Lender in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, Borrower shall pay the Lender up to $15,000, of
which $10,000 has already been paid, and with respect to any legal fees incurred
by the Lender in connection with this Agreement as of the date hereof, the
Borrower shall pay up to $20,000 of Lender’s actual legal fees. If any fees,
costs or charges payable to Lender hereunder are not paid when due, Borrower
shall thereby be deemed to have requested, and Lender is hereby authorized at
its discretion to make and charge to Borrower’s account, a Loan as of such date
in an amount equal to such unpaid fees, costs or charges. For the avoidance of
doubt, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay Lender more than $35,000 pursuant
to this Section for pre-closing due diligence of Lender and pre-closing legal
fees, excluding filing and recording fees and
expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless an
Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not pay
(i) any out-of-pocket expenses and costs hereinafter incurred by Lender during
the course of its periodic field examinations of the Collateral and Borrower’s
operations and (ii) any out-of-pocket expenses of any appraiser appointed by
Lender to value the Inventory.
3.5 Savings Clause. The
Note and the obligations of Borrower hereunder are subject to the express
condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay
interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate which could subject
Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of
the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to
contract or agree to pay. If by the terms hereof, Borrower is at any
time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due
hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the Interest Rate or the
Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to
such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall
be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of
the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to
Lender for the use or forbearance of the Loans, shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the
full stated term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of
interest on account of the Loans does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of
interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loans for so long as
any Loan is outstanding.

promptly notify Borrower in writing, and Borrower shall assume the defense
thereof, including the employment of counsel selected by Borrower and reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the payment of all costs and expenses and

the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in
the defense thereof; provided, however that the Indemnified Party shall pay the
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the employment of separate
counsel. Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any such
action effected without its consent, but if settled with Borrower's consent, or
if there be a final judgment for the claimant in any such action, Borrower
agrees to indemnify and save harmless said Indemnified Party against whom such
action was brought from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment, except as otherwise provided above. The provisions of
this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the final
repayment of the Obligations.

SECTION
10. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.
Until
payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
10.1 Fundamental Transactions; No Creation
of Subsidiaries.
(a) Borrower will not engage in or be
a party to a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below) unless all of the
following conditions are met:
(i) Lender shall have been afforded
the opportunity, if Lender so elects, to convert all outstanding Indebtedness of
Borrower hereunder into Common Stock of Borrower prior to, or at the closing of
(such conversion date to be selected by Lender), the Fundamental Transaction in
accordance with the terms of the Note Conversion Agreement; and
(ii) Lender shall have received
payment in full of all outstanding Obligations no later than the date of the
closing of the Fundamental Transaction, to the extent not converted into Common
Stock, together with such releases and related documentation as Lender shall
reasonably request.
“Fundamental
Transaction” means
(i) Any
consolidation or merger of the Borrower with or into another entity where the
stockholders of the Borrower immediately prior to such transaction do not
collectively own at least 51% of the outstanding voting securities of the
surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger immediately following such
transaction; or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Borrower in a single transaction or a series of related transactions;
or
(ii) The
occurrence of any transaction or event in connection with which all or
substantially all the Common Stock shall be exchanged for, converted into,
acquired for or constitute the right to receive consideration (whether by means
of an exchange offer, liquidation, tender offer, consolidation, merger,
combination, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) which is not all
or substantially all common stock which is (or will, upon consummation of or
immediately following such transaction or event, will be) listed on a national
securities exchange or approved for quotation on Nasdaq or any similar United
States system of automated dissemination of transaction reporting of securities
prices, including the OTC Bulletin Board; or
36
(iii) The
acquisition by a Person or entity or group of Persons or entities acting in
concert as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or group, as a result
of a tender or exchange offer, open market purchases, privately negotiated
purchases or otherwise, of beneficial ownership of securities of the Borrower
representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the
outstanding voting securities of the Borrower ordinarily (and apart from rights
accruing in special circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of
directors.
(b) Borrower will not create or
permit to exist any Subsidiary, other than Virtual Vision, Inc., which
Subsidiary is dormant, unless such new Subsidiary is a wholly-owned Subsidiary
and is designated by Lender as either a co-borrower or guarantor hereunder and
such Subsidiary shall have entered into all such documentation required by

prior written notice of such proposed asset sale, describing in reasonable
detail the assets to be sold and the consideration to be received therefor, (ii)
the net proceeds of such transaction are used to redeem Indebtedness represented

its reasonable commercial judgment, that such asset sale will not impair
Lender’s rights in its remaining Collateral or its prospect of repayment
hereunder.
10.3 Other

Lien on any of its property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
except (a) those Liens in favor of Lender created by this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; and (b) for the Permitted Encumbrances.

SECTION
12. REMEDIES.
12.1 Acceleration; Other
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at
any time thereafter:
(a) Lender
shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, any of the other
Loan Documents, the UCC or other applicable law, all of which rights and
remedies may be exercised without notice to Borrower, all such notices being
hereby waived, except such notice as is expressly provided for hereunder or is
not waivable under applicable law. All rights and remedies of Lender
are cumulative and not exclusive and are enforceable, in Lender's discretion,
alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions and in
any order Lender may determine. Without limiting the foregoing,
Lender may (i) accelerate the payment of all Obligations and demand immediate
payment thereof to Lender, (ii) with or without judicial process or the aid or
assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the
Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete
processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral,
(iii) require Borrower, at Borrower's expense, to assemble and make
available to Lender any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time
designated by Lender, (iv) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and
realize upon any and all Collateral, subject to the rights of the Convertible
Noteholders in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (v)
extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, return of
merchandise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Accounts or other
Collateral which includes a monetary obligation and discharge or release the
account debtor or other obligor, without affecting any of the Obligations, (vi)
sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all
Collateral (including, without limitation, entering into contracts with respect
thereto, by public or private sales at any exchange, broker's board, any office
of Lender or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as Lender may deem reasonable,
for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with Lender having the right to
purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of
the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of Borrower,
which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by
Borrower. If any of the Collateral or other security the Obligations
is sold or leased by Lender upon credit terms or for future delivery, the
Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is
finally collected by Lender. If notice of disposition of Collateral
is required by law, ten (10) days prior notice by Lender to Borrower designating
the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale
or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be
reasonable notice thereof and Borrower waives any other notice. In
the event Lender institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks
recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, Borrower waives the
posting of any bond which might otherwise be required.
(b) Lender
may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral or other security for the Obligations
actually received by Lender from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other
disposition of the Collateral to payment of any of the Obligations, in whole or
in part (including attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred by Lender with
respect thereto or otherwise chargeable to Borrower) and in such order as Lender
may elect, whether or not then due. Borrower shall remain liable to
Lender for the payment on demand of any deficiency together with interest at the
highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of collection or
enforcement, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses.
42
(c) If
Borrower shall default in the performance of any of the provisions of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party, Lender may (but
without any obligation to do so) perform same for Borrower's account and any
monies expended in doing so shall be chargeable with interest to Borrower,
repayable by Borrower on demand and added to the Obligations.
(d) Lender
may, at its option, cure any default by Borrower under any agreement with a
third party or pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered against Borrower,
discharge taxes, Liens at any time levied on or existing with respect to the
Collateral and pay any amount, incur any expense or perform any act which, in
Lender's sole judgment, is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect,
insure, maintain, or realize upon the Collateral. Lender may charge
Borrower's loan account for any amounts so expended, such amounts to be
repayable by Borrower on demand. Lender shall be under no obligation
to effect such cure, payment, bonding or discharge, and shall not, by doing so,
be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of Borrower.
(e) Borrower
hereby grants to Lender an irrevocable, non-exclusive license, to the extent not
prohibited by Convertible Notes Documentation and subject to the rights of the
Convertible Noteholders in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, exercisable due to an occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default without payment of royalty or other compensation to Borrower,
to use, transfer, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned,
licensed to, or hereafter acquired by Borrower, and wherever the same may be
located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the
licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer and automatic
machinery software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof,
and represents, promises and agrees that any such license or sublicense is not
and will not be in conflict with the contractual or commercial rights of any
third Person; provided, that such license will terminate upon the payment in
full of all Obligations.
12.2 Set-off. Lender
shall have the right, immediately and without notice of other action, to set-off
against any of Borrower's liabilities to Lender any money or other liability
owed by Lender or any Affiliate of Lender (and such Affiliate of Lender is
hereby authorized to effect such set-off) in any capacity to Borrower, whether
or not due, and Lender or such Affiliate shall be deemed to have exercised such
right of set-off and to have made a charge against any such money or other
liability immediately upon the occurrence of such Event of Default even though
the actual book entries may be made at a time subsequent thereto. The
right of set-off granted hereunder shall be effective irrespective of whether
Lender shall have made demand under or in connection with the
Loan. Lender is hereby granted a security interest in all money and
property of Borrower being held by it or any Affiliate of Lender, which security
interest shall be a first priority perfected security interest in favor of
Lender as a result of Lender's or Affiliates of Lender's possession
thereof. None of the rights of Lender described in this Section 12.2
are intended to diminish or limit in any way Lender's or Affiliates of Lender's
common-law set-off rights.
43
12.3 Costs and
Expenses. Borrower shall be liable for all reasonable costs,
charges and expenses, including attorney's fees and disbursements, incurred by
Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of
Lender's remedies with respect thereto, each of which shall be repayable by
Borrower on demand with interest, and added to the Obligations.
12.4 No
Marshalling. Lender shall be under no obligation whatsoever to
proceed first against any of the Collateral or other property which is security
for the Obligations before proceeding against any other of the
Collateral. It is expressly understood and agreed that all of the
Collateral or other property which is security for the Obligations stands as
equal security for all Obligations, and that Lender shall have the right to
proceed against any or all of the Collateral or other property which is security
for the Obligations in any order, or simultaneously, as in its sole and absolute
discretion it shall determine. It is further understood and agreed
that Lender shall have the right, as it in its sole and absolute discretion
shall determine, to sell any or all of the Collateral or other property which is
security for the Obligations in any order or simultaneously, as Lender shall
determine in its sole and absolute discretion.
12.5 No Implied Waivers; Rights
Cumulative. No delay on the part of Lender in exercising any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents
or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise shall impair,
prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, remedy, power or privilege
or be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default or as an acquiescence
therein. No right, remedy, power or privilege conferred on or
reserved to Lender hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or otherwise is
intended to be exclusive of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege. Each and every right, remedy, power or privilege conferred
on or reserved to Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan
Documents or otherwise shall be cumulative and in addition to each and every
other right, remedy, power or privilege so conferred on or reserved to Lender
and may be exercised by Lender at such time or times and in such order and
manner as Lender shall (in its sole and complete discretion) deem
expedient.
SECTION
13. OTHER RIGHTS OF LENDER.
13.1 Collections. Subject to the rights of
the Convertible Noteholders under the Intercreditor Agreement, Borrower is
authorized to collect the Accounts and any other monetary obligations included
in, or proceeds of, the Collateral on behalf of and in trust for Lender, at
Borrower's expense, but such authority shall, at Lender's option, automatically
terminate upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Lender may
modify or terminate such authority at any time whether or not an Event of
Default has occurred and directly collect the Accounts and other monetary

expense and in the manner requested by Lender from time to time, direct that
remittances and all other proceeds of accounts and other Collateral shall be (a)

access is limited to Lender and/or (c) deposited into a bank account
maintained in the name of Lender and/or a blocked bank account under
arrangements with the depository bank under which all funds deposited to such

specify.

Obligations. All Obligations shall be payable at Lender's

then due or to any other Obligations then due, in whatever order or manner
Lender shall determine.

substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full irrevocable
power and authority in its place and stead and in its name or otherwise, from

(b) Borrower
hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that Lender shall lawfully

Collateral. At all times prior and subsequent to an Event of
Default hereinafter, Lender may (but without any obligation to do so) take any

Cure. In the event Borrower shall fail to perform any of its
Obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, then Lender, in
addition to all of its rights and remedies hereunder, may perform the same, but
shall not be obligated to do so, at the cost and expense of
Borrower. In any such event, Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender
together with interest at the rate set forth in
Section 3.1 hereof from the date such sums are expended until
repaid by Borrower.
13.8 Inspection of
Collateral. From time to time as requested by Lender, at the
sole expense of Borrower in accordance with Section 3.4, Lender or its designee

and on or after an Event of Default at any time, to all of the premises where
Collateral is located for the purposes of inspecting, disposing and realizing
upon the Collateral, and all Borrower's books and records, and Borrower shall
permit Lender or its designee to make such copies of such books and records or
extracts therefrom as Lender may request. Without expense to Lender,
Lender may use such of Borrower's personnel, equipment, including computer
equipment, programs, printed output and computer readable media, supplies and
premises for the collection of Accounts and realization on other Collateral as
Lender, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes all accountants and third parties to disclose and deliver

work papers, management reports and other information in their possession
regarding Borrower.

otherwise grant participations in any of the Obligations and the holder of any
such participation shall, subject to the terms of any agreement between Lender

security for the Obligations in which such holder is a
participant. Borrower agrees that each such holder may exercise any
and all rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to its participation in
the Obligations as fully as though Borrower were directly indebted to such
holder in the amount of such participation.
14.6 Invalidity. Any
provision of this Agreement which may be determined by competent authority to be
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
14.7 Publicity. Borrower
hereby consents to the issuance by Lender of (a) a public announcement or press
release relating to the financial arrangement entered into between the Borrower
and Lender in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G, as well as (b)

ACTION OR PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY LENDER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE

or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the Note, the other Obligations,

personal service of the summons and complaint or other process and papers
therein and agrees that the service thereof may be made by certified mail,
return receipt requested, directed to Borrower at its chief executive office set
forth herein or other address thereof of which Lender has received notice as
provided herein, service to be deemed complete as permitted under the rules of
either of said Courts. Any such action or proceeding commenced by
Borrower against Lender will be litigated only in the New York Supreme Court for

Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any
supplements or amendments hereto or thereto, and any instruments or documents
delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith represents the
entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof and
thereof between the parties hereto, and supersede all other prior agreements,
understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties,
commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning the subject matter
hereof, whether oral or written. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms of this Agreement and any schedule or exhibit hereto, the
terms of this Agreement shall govern.
