have been made therefore as required in order to be in conformity with GAAP.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may take any or all of the following actions: declare all Obligations to be immediately due and payable (except with respect to any Event of Default set forth in Section 11.1(f) in which case all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable without the necessity of any action, decision, notice or demand) without presentment, demand, protest or any other action or obligation of Lender.

(b) Upon acceleration of the Obligations, Lender may at any time, and from time to time, take any and all such action as Lender may elect to enforce any and all rights and interests created and existing under the Loan Documents, or arising under applicable law, including without limitation, all rights and remedies existing under the Security Documents, all rights of setoff and the following rights (the enumeration of any such rights not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights):

(i) The right to take possession of, send notices regarding and collect directly the Collateral, with or without judicial process (including, without limitation, the right to notify the United States postal authorities to redirect mail addressed to Borrower or to an address designated by Lender); or

(ii) By its own means or with judicial assistance, enter any or all of Borrower’s premises and take possession of the Collateral, or render it unusable, or dispose of the Collateral on such premises, without any liability to Borrower for rent, storage, utilities or other sums, and Borrower shall not resist or interfere with such action; or

(iii) Require Borrower at Borrower’s expense to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to Lender at any place designated by Lender.

(c) Borrower agrees that a notice received by it at least 10 days before the time of any intended public sale or of the time, after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. If permitted by applicable law, any perishable Inventory or other Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Lender without prior notice to Borrower. Borrower covenants and agrees not to interfere with or impose any obstacle to Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Lender shall have no obligation to clean up or prepare the Collateral for sale except as is required by applicable law. If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser that are received by Lender and applied to the Obligations. Lender may in connection with any sale of the Collateral specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like.

11.3. Nature of Remedies. All rights and remedies granted Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available at law or in equity, shall be deemed concurrent

and cumulative, and not alternative remedies, and Lender may proceed with any number of remedies at the same time or at different times until all Obligations are satisfied in full. The exercise of any one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy, and Lender, upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, may proceed against Borrower, any Guarantor, or their Property at any time, under any agreement, with any available remedy and in any order. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to compel Lender at any time to accept a cure of any Event of Default hereunder. In no event shall prior recourse to any Collateral be a prerequisite to Lender’s right to demand payment of any Obligation from Borrower or any Guarantor upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.

11.4. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale or disposition of any Collateral shall be applied first to Expenses incurred by Lender and then to the Obligations that are then due and payable, in such order or manner as Lender may determine in the reasonable exercise of discretion.

ARTICLE XII TERMINATION

The Term Loan made hereunder shall automatically become due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. All of Lender’s rights, liens and security interests in and to Borrower’s Property shall continue after any termination until (a) all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full unless otherwise prohibited under any applicable federal or state law, (b) Lender shall have received a written agreement (in form and substance acceptable to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) executed by Borrower and by a Person whose loans or advances to Borrower are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Lender from any loss or damage, or (c) Lender shall have retained such monetary reserves necessary to pay in full all Obligations for such period of time, in its reasonable discretion.

ARTICLE XIII MISCELLANEOUS

13.13. Severability.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Borrower and Lender hereby agree that all agreements among them under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to Borrower and evidenced hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or reduced to the extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such circumstance any Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied (as determined by Lender) to the reduction of the principal amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of any other then outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other then outstanding Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations and other indebtedness of Borrower to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest on account of all such indebtedness does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate throughout the entire term of such indebtedness. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Agreement and all agreements between Borrower and Lender.

13.16. Information. At Borrower’s written request, Lender agrees to keep confidential any information furnished or made available to it by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent Lender from disclosing such information (a) to any other Person if reasonably incidental to the administration of the credit facility provided herein, (b) as required by any law, rule, or regulation, (c) upon the order of any court or administrative agency; provided, however, if allowed by applicable law, rule, regulation or order, Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of such order to allow Borrower to seek court relief to block or limit such disclosure, (d) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority; provided, however, if allowed by applicable law, rule, regulation or order, Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of such order to allow Borrower to seek court relief to block or limit such disclosure, (e) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available to Lender other than as a result of a disclosure by Lender prohibited by this Agreement, (f) in connection with any litigation to which Lender or any of its Affiliates may be a

party relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder, (g) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (h) any information with respect to the U.S. federal income tax treatment and U.S. federal income tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

SCHEDULE 6.9

From our current (as of 3-23-07) draft form 10-KSB for year ending 12-31-06:

The Singer Litigation.

We are a defendant in a lawsuit filed by a former employee, who has made claims for unpaid salary and for certain previously granted stock options. Via mediation in January, 2006, we have settled this lawsuit, and as part of the settlement we have agreed that Xx. Xxxxxx holds options to purchase up to 70,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.10 per share, which options were issued to Xx. Xxxxxx during his association with the Company prior to 2002. However, as of the time of filing we have not received final documentation dismissing the lawsuit and settling and releasing claims. We expect to conclude final documentation within a matter of weeks.

The MPI Litigation.

As a result of the Reverse Acquisition the Company assumed the liabilities of Qualmax. Qualmax was named as a defendant in certain litigation filed in France before the Trade Tribunal of Nanterre against B.O.S. Better Online Systems, Ltd. (“BOS”) by a former distributor of BOS, Media Partners International (“MPI,” and the “MPI Litigation”), whose contract with BOS allegedly related to certain distribution rights for the product division Qualmax purchased from BOS on December 31, 2005. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement between Qualmax and BOS, BOS agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Qualmax from liability, without limitation, arising from the claims raised in the MPI Litigation, and BOS has undertaken defense of Qualmax at BOS’s expense. The litigation is in its early stages, and at last report from counsel the French court had not yet made definitive rulings as to venue and jurisdiction (whether the matter is properly before the French court, or whether it should be subject to Israeli jurisdiction). We believe that no action has been taken in this matter since November, 2006. At present, based upon the limited progress in the matter and without the benefit of completion of factual discovery, management believes this litigation does not pose a financial risk to the Company.

The Blackstone Litigation.

Qualmax was named as a defendant a lawsuit entitled Capital Securities, LLC and Blackstone Communications Company v. Carlos Bertonnatti, Worldwide PIN Payment Corp. and Qualmax, Inc., Case No. 2006-15824-CA-01, in the Circuit Court of the 11^th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida (the “Blackstone Litigation”), filed August 10, 2006. The facts underlying the proceeding relate to a contract between defendant Worldwide PIN Payment Corp. and plaintiffs, and a third party, to plaintiff’s allegations of misappropriation of trade secrets and corporate opportunity, and to claims that defendants, or some of them, tortiously interfered with plaintiffs’ contract with a third party. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages. Management believes it is not entirely clear from the pleadings filed to date whether plaintiff’s claim that Qualmax misappropriated trade secrets, or tortiously interfered with a third party contract, or whether Qualmax is alleged to be liable under some other theory. No formal discovery requests have been made of the Company, and the Company has not yet filed any responsive pleadings. Co-defendants have answered and filed

counterclaims and third party claims, but none of the claims of co-defendants are against Qualmax nor do they allege wrongdoing by Qualmax as a defense to claims against them by plaintiffs. The Company is still investigating the claims against it, and the facts surrounding the claims against co-defendants, but that investigation is in its early stages and is incomplete. Further, it is not yet clear how aggressively plaintiffs will pursue Qualmax as a defendant, and to date plaintiffs have not pursued Qualmax vigorously. Based on the limited information available to management at this point, management does not believe Qualmax or the Company is liable for any wrongdoing, act or omission, in relation to the litigation, and management believes that Qualmax is not properly a party to the litigation. However, management does not have sufficient information to provide a meaningful assessment of all the facts and circumstances relating to the claims against Qualmax and co-defendants nor to determine how costly and time-consuming defense of the matter may be regardless of the merits of the Company’s defense. In addition, the Company believes it has viable claims for indemnification and damages against co-defendants but has not yet formally raised those claims or made a full determination of their value or role in the litigation.
