Within Thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, Summit may provide written notice to Client that Summit will match the material financial terms of the Qualified Bank Financing whereupon Summit and Client shall amend this Agreement and the Loan and Security Agreement, as necessary, to match the material financial terms of the Qualified Bank Financing and this Agreement and the Loan and Security Agreement shall remain in force.
Upon such non-renewal or termination, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the security interests granted in favor of Summit, shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts owing to Summit hereunder have been finally paid in full, except that Client shall be excused from the covenants herein providing that Summit shall be the sole and exclusive purchaser and source of financing for Client’s Accounts.
Upon expiration of the final Financing Period or any other termination, at the election of Summit, all outstanding Purchased Accounts will immediately be Chargeback Accounts and all amounts owing to Summit by Client pursuant to this Agreement shall, without notice of such election, accelerate and become immediately due and payable in full.
21. Right to Perform for Client.
Summit may, in its sole discretion, elect to discharge any security interest, lien or other encumbrance upon any Accounts, elect to pay any subcontractor, vendor, materialman, laborer, or other person to whom Client is obligated, whether or not any mechanic’s lien or other encumbrance has been asserted, and elect to pay any insurance charges payable by Client or provide insurance as required herein if Client fails to do so. Any such payments and all expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be immediately due and payable by Client. Summit shall have no obligation to discharge any such security interest, lien or other encumbrance or pay such insurance charges or provide such insurance.

22. Power of Attorney to Endorse Checks.
Client does hereby make, constitute and appoint Summit, and its designees, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution, with full power to endorse the name of Client upon any checks or other forms of payment on Accounts and to effect the deposit and collection thereof. This power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Such power may be exercised at any time. Client does hereby make, constitute, and appoint Summit, and its designees, as Client’s true and lawful attorneys in fact, with full power of substitution, such power to be exercised only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to: (a) receive, open, and dispose of all mail addressed to Client that relates to Accounts of Client; (b) cause mail relating to Accounts of Client to be delivered to a designated address of Summit where Summit may open all such mail and remove therefrom any payment of such Accounts; and (c) Summit may do any and all other things necessary or proper to carry out the intent of this Agreement and to perfect and protect the rights of Summit created under this Agreement. This power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Exercise of any of the foregoing powers shall be in the sole discretion of Summit without any duty to do so.
23. Disclosure of Information.
Client hereby consents to Summit disclosing to any financial institution or investor providing financing for Summit or participating in this financing, any and all information, knowledge, reports and records, including, without limitation, financial statements, concerning Client.
24. Interest on Unpaid Amounts and Late Fees.
In the event Client fails to pay any amount owing to Summit when due, Client agrees to pay interest on such amount from the due date until paid, both before and after judgment, at the Default Rate.
25. No Third Party Beneficiary.
This Agreement is made for the sole and exclusive benefit of Summit and Client and is not intended to benefit any third party. No such third party may claim any right or benefit or seek to enforce any term or provision of this Agreement.
26. Indemnification.
CLIENT AGREES TO INDEMNIFY SUMMIT FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS WHICH MAY BE ASSERTED AND FOR LIABILITIES AND DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE AWARDED AGAINST SUMMIT, AND FOR ALL REASONABLE ATTORNEYS FEES, LEGAL EXPENSES AND OTHER EXPENSES INCURRED IN DEFENDING SUCH CLAIMS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY MANNER TO THE PURCHASE, FINANCING AND/OR COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, EXCLUDING CLAIMS BASED ON THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUMMIT. SUMMIT SHALL HAVE SOLE AND COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE DEFENSE OF ANY SUCH CLAIMS, AND IS HEREBY GIVEN AUTHORITY TO SETTLE OR OTHERWISE COMPROMISE ANY SUCH CLAIMS AS SUMMIT, IN GOOD FAITH, DETERMINES SHALL BE IN ITS BEST INTERESTS.

l. Corgenix UK Ltd., without the prior written consent of Summit, (i) creates, incurs, assumes, or suffers to exist any pledge, lien, or security interest on any of its accounts receivable, now owned or hereafter acquired.
Waiver of any Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent Event of Default.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, at the election of Summit and with notice of such election, which notice shall not be required to be in writing, Summit may immediately terminate the right of Client to request Advances, treat all outstanding Purchased Accounts as Chargeback Accounts, and all obligations of Client to Summit shall accelerate and become immediately due and payable in full and Summit shall have all rights and remedies created by or arising from this Agreement and the following rights and remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies existing at law, in equity, or by statute:

13

f. Summit shall have all the rights and remedies available under the Loan and Security Agreement.
Client shall be liable for all deficiencies owing on any obligations secured by the Collateral after liquidation of the Collateral.
Upon occurrence of an Event of Default, the interest rate on obligations of Client owing to Summit shall be increased to the Default Rate. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Summit shall retain the exclusive right to collect outstanding Chargeback Accounts, regardless of whether the Chargeback Account has been repurchased by Client, until all obligations owing to Summit by Client have been paid in full.
The rights and remedies herein conferred are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically granted or existing at law, in equity, or by statute which Summit might otherwise have and may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Summit. No delay or omission by Summit in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or to be an acquiescence therein.
28. Payment of Expenses and Attorneys Fees.
Client shall pay all reasonable expenses of Summit relating to the negotiation, documentation, and administration of this Agreement, including, without limitation, title insurance, recording fees, filing fees, fees of collection services, reasonable attorneys fees and legal expenses, returned check fees, photocopies, postage, audit and field examination fees and costs, inspection fees, wire transfer fees, and overnight delivery expenses, whether incurred in making Advances, in future amendments or modifications to this Agreement, or in ongoing administration of this financing.

29. Bankruptcy Considerations.
Client covenants that it will notify Summit of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code filed by or against Client, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors by Client, within Twenty-Four (24) hours of any such filing or assignment. Failure to notify Summit of any such bankruptcy filing or assignment within Twenty-Four (24) hours shall constitute an Event of Default.
Client acknowledges that this Agreement is a contract to extend debt financing or financial accommodations to or for the benefit of Client within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. §365(c)(2) and, as such, may not be assumed or assigned. Summit shall be under no obligation to provide any financing under this Agreement from and after the filing of any voluntary or involuntary petition against Client.

32. Revival Clause.
If the incurring of any debt by Client or the payment of any money or transfer of property to Summit by or on behalf of Client (including collection of any Account) should for any reason subsequently be determined to be “voidable” or “avoidable” in whole or in part within the meaning of any state or federal law (collectively “voidable transfers”), including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state law, and Summit is required to repay or restore any voidable transfers or the amount or any portion thereof, or upon the advice of counsel for Summit is advised to do so, then, as to any such amount or property repaid or restored, including all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of Summit related thereto, the liability of Client shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored and shall exist as though the voidable transfers had never been made.
33. Nature of Client’s Obligations.
a. All obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be the joint and several obligations of each Client. Each reference to “Client” hereunder shall be deemed to refer to each Client individually and collectively and each obligation to be performed by “Client” hereunder shall be performed by each Client. Summit shall have no responsibility to inquire into the apportionment, allocation, or disposition of any Advances or other payments made under this Agreement. Each Client hereby irrevocably appoints the other as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes of the related documents, including, without limitation, the giving and receiving of notices and other communications and the making of all certifications and reports required pursuant to this Agreement. The action of any Client with respect to any Advance or other payment made under this Agreement and the requests, notices, reports, and other materials submitted by any Client shall bind each Client.
b. Each Client hereby agrees to indemnify Summit and hold Summit harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and/or claims of any damage or injury asserted against Summit by Client or any other person arising from or incurred by reason of the joint nature of the financing hereunder or any action taken by Summit pursuant hereto.
c. Each Client represents and warrants to Summit that each request for the purchase of any Account was and is made by each Client and that each Client is engaged in operations that require financing on such a joint basis. Each Client will and expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from Summit’s purchase of Acceptable Accounts.
d. Each Client shall be a direct, primary, and independent obligor and shall not be deemed to be a guarantor, accommodation party, or other person secondarily liable for the Obligations. “Obligations” as used in this Section means, as the context requires, all duties and obligations from time to time arising under this Agreement and under all agreements and documents related hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, however, each Client represents, warrants, covenants, and agrees as follows:
(i) Summit may enforce this Agreement against any property, interests in property, and rights to property securing any or all Obligations without first having sought enforcement of this Agreement and any related documents against Client or any Collateral.
15
(ii) Such Obligations shall not be affected by any of the following: (A) the bankruptcy, disability, dissolution, incompetence, insolvency, liquidation, or reorganization of any Client; (B) any defense of any Client to payment or performance of any or all Obligations or enforcement of any and all liens and encumbrances; (C) the discharge, modification of the terms of, reduction in the amount of, or stay of enforcement of any or all liens and encumbrances or any or all Obligations in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other legal proceeding or by law, ordinance, regulation, or rule (xxxxxxx, xxxxx, xxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxx, or local); (D) the cessation of liability of any Client or any or all Obligations; and (E) any claim or dispute by any other Client concerning the occurrence of any default in performance of any Obligations, or any other matter.
(iii) Summit may do the following acts or omissions from time to time with notice to Client, which notice shall not be required to be in writing, but without the consent of any Client and without receiving payment or other value, nor shall the following acts or omissions affect, delay, or impair any of such Obligations or any or all liens and encumbrances: (A) Summit may obtain Collateral or additional Collateral; (B) with the agreement of one Client, Summit may substitute for any or all Collateral regardless of whether the same type or greater or lesser value; (C) Summit may release any or all Collateral; (D) Summit may compromise, delay enforcement, fail to enforce, release, settle or waive any rights or remedies of Summit as to any or all Collateral; (E) Summit may sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and in such manner or order as Summit determines; (F) Summit may fail to perfect, fail to protect the priority of, and fail to ensure an or all liens or encumbrances; (G) Summit may fail to inspect, insure, maintain, preserve or protect any of the Collateral; (H) Summit may obtain additional obligors for any or all such Obligations; (I) with the agreement of one Client, Summit may increase or decrease any or all Obligations or otherwise change terms of any or all Obligations; (J) Summit may release any Client; (K) Summit may compromise, delay enforcement, fail to enforce, release, settle, or waive any Obligation of any Client with the agreement of that Party; (L) Summit may make Advances to, or grant other financial accommodations for any Client; (M) Summit may fail to file or pursue a claim in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other proceeding as to any or all liens and encumbrances or any or all Obligations; (N) Summit may amend, modify, extend, renew, restate, supplement, or terminate in whole or in part the obligation of any Party with the agreement of that Party; (O) Summit may take or fail to take any other action with respect to this agreement or any Party; and (P) Summit may do any other acts or make any other omission that result in the extinguishment of the obligation of any Party. As used herein, “Party” means Client and each other person that from time to time is or becomes obligated to Summit under this Agreement or any guarantee or grants any lien or encumbrance to Summit with respect to any Collateral.
(iv) Each Client waives any and all rights and benefits under any laws that limit the liability or exonerate guarantors or sureties now or hereafter in effect and any other statutes or rules now or hereafter in effect that purport to confer specific rights upon or make specific defenses or procedures available to any Client.
(v) Each Client waives any rights that require Summit, and Summit shall have no obligation to, provide to Client any information concerning the performance of any other Client, the Obligations of Client hereunder, or under any related documents, or the ability of the other to perform the Obligations or any other matter, regardless of what information Summit may from time to time have. Each Client waives any and all present and future claims, remedies and rights against the other or any other Client, the Collateral and any other property, interest in property or rights to property of any other Party (A) arising from any performance hereunder, (B) arising from any application of any Collateral, or any other property, interest in property or rights to property of any other Client, or (C) otherwise arising in respect of this Agreement, regardless of whether such claims, remedies and rights arise under any present or future agreement, document or instrument or are provided by any law, ordinance, regulation or rule (xxxxxxx, xxxxx, xxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxx, or local) (including, without limitation, any and all rights of contribution, exoneration, indemnity, reimbursement, and subrogation and any and all rights to participate in the rights and remedies of Summit, against any Client). To the fullest extent that rights of contribution, exoneration, indemnity, reimbursement, and subrogation are not waivable, such rights are hereby subordinate and subject to all rights, liens, and claims of Summit.
e. Each Client hereby represents and warrants to Summit that:
16
(i) As of the date of this Agreement and after giving effect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the obligations hereby assumed, the sum of each Client’s debts is less than all of such Client’s assets at fair valuation.
(ii) Client is not entering into this Agreement, granting any security in connection with this Agreement, or otherwise making any transfer in connection with this Agreement, with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor of Client, whether such creditor now exists or may hereafter arise.
(iii) Client acknowledges that Summit’s agreement to consider purchasing Acceptable Accounts pursuant to this Agreement constitutes reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the execution and delivery by Client of this Agreement, the granting of security in connection with this Agreement, and all transfers made by Client in connection with this Agreement. Client agrees that the execution of this Agreement, the joint financing contemplated by this Agreement, and other related documents, and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, even though entailing some risks, have been determined by Client to be the most desirable form of financing for Client’s operations and to provide to Client more availability of funds and flexibility in satisfying Client’s needs for funds.
(iv) Client is not engaged or about to be engaged in a business or transaction for which the assets of Client (after giving effect to the granting of any security in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other transfer made or contemplated to be made in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement) would be unreasonably small in relation to the business or transaction.
(v) Client does not intend to incur, or believe that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due.
(vi) As used in this Section, the term “transfer” shall include every mode, direct or indirect, absolute or conditional, voluntary or involuntary of disposing of or parting with an asset or an interest in an asset and includes payment of money, release, lease, and creation of a lien or other encumbrance.
f. Indemnity Obligations:
(i) Each Client acknowledges that pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and all other agreements and documents related hereto, each Client is jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations, whether or not the Obligations represent amounts actually advanced to an individual Client. Accordingly, each Client has expressly assumed the risk that such Client may be held liable for, and such Client’s property may be applied to payment of, amounts advanced pursuant to this Agreement to or for the benefit of another Client. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way limit the obligations of any Client to Summit or otherwise limit the joint and several nature of all of the obligations of each Client. Each Client shall be fully liable to Summit pursuant to this Agreement without regard to any allocation of losses and liabilities by virtue of such indemnity provisions or otherwise.
(ii) In any action or proceeding involving any state or local law, or any state, local, or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Client would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of this Section, be held or determined to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any of their creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under this Agreement and all other related documents, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Client, Summit, or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
34. Severability of Invalid Provisions, Headings, Interpretations of Agreement.
Any provision of this Agreement which is 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
17
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
All references in this Agreement to the singular shall be deemed to include the plural when the context so requires, and visa versa. References in the collective or conjunctive shall also include the disjunctive unless the context otherwise clearly requires a different interpretation.
35. Notices.
All notices which are expressly required to be in writing may be mailed, postage prepaid, addressed to the address stated at the beginning of this Agreement, or to such other address which is provided in accordance with this Section. Any notice so mailed shall be deemed given Three (3) days after mailing. Any notice otherwise delivered shall be deemed given when received by the addressee. Any notice which is not expressly required to be given in writing may be given orally.
36. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
All agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made herein by Client shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any bankruptcy proceedings involving Client and shall continue in effect so long as any obligation to Summit contemplated by this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement.
37. Jury Waiver, Exclusive Jurisdiction of Utah Courts.
THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.
The parties each acknowledge that by execution and delivery of this Agreement, they have transacted business in the State of Utah and the parties hereby voluntarily submit to, consent to, and waive any defense to the jurisdiction of courts located in the State of Utah as to all matters relating to or arising from this Agreement.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED IN WRITING BY THE PARTIES, THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF UTAH SHALL HAVE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DISPUTES, AND CONTROVERSIES ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. NO LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION, OR ANY OTHER ACTION RELATING TO OR ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE COMMENCED OR PROSECUTED IN ANY OTHER FORUM, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED IN WRITING BY EACH PARTY.
38. Assignability.
This Agreement is not assignable or transferable by Client without Summit’s prior written consent and any such purported assignment or transfer is void. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors of Client. Client acknowledges and agrees that Summit may assign all or any portion of this Agreement, including, without limitation, assignment of the rights, benefits and remedies of Summit hereunder without any assignment of the duties, obligations or liabilities of Summit hereunder, and may sell participations in this financing.
39. Integrated Agreement, Amendment, Headings, Governing Law.
This Agreement replaces and supersedes any prior agreement between Client and Summit. This Agreement and the documents identified or contemplated herein constitute the entire agreement between Summit and Client as to the subject matter hereof and may not be altered or amended except by written agreement signed by Summit and Client. No provision hereof may be waived by Summit except upon written waiver executed by Summit. This Agreement
18
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah and this Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed by the parties in the State of Utah. This Agreement shall not be deemed to have been entered into until accepted by Summit at its chief executive office in Salt Lake City, Utah and shall be performed by Summit and the financing administered by Summit in Salt Lake City, Utah.
