(e) Other Fees and Expenses.

All of such costs and expenses shall be additional Obligations of the Credit Parties to Lender secured under the Loan Documents.

13
(f) Investment Banking Fee.
(i) Share Issuance. The Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee for investment banking and advisory services provided by the Lender to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date by issuing to Lender that number of shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the dollar amount of Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Dollars (US$100,000) (such dollar amount, the “Share Value”). For purposes of determining the number of shares issuable to Lender under this Section (the “Facility Fee Shares”), the Borrower’s Common Stock shall be valued at a price equal to the lowest volume weighted average price for the Common Stock for the five (5) Business Days immediately prior to the date the Borrower executes this Agreement (the “Valuation Date”), as reported by Bloomberg (the “VWAP”). The Lender shall confirm to the Borrower in writing, the VWAP for the Common Stock as of the Valuation Date, and the corresponding number of Facility Fee Shares issuable to the Lender based on such price. The Borrower shall instruct its transfer agent to issue certificates representing the Facility Fee Shares issuable to the Lender immediately upon the Borrower’s execution of this Agreement, and shall cause its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to deliver such certificates to Lender within three (3) Business Days from the Effective Date. In the event such certificates representing the Facility Fee Shares issuable hereunder shall not be delivered to the Lender within said three (3) Business Day period, same shall be an immediate default under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Facility Fee Shares, when issued, shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock. The Facility Fee Shares shall be deemed fully earned as of the date the Borrower executes this Agreement, regardless of the amount or number of Loans made hereunder.
(ii) Adjustments. It is the intention of the Borrower and Lender that by a date that is twelve (12) months after the Valuation Date (the “Twelve Month Valuation Date”) the Lender shall have generated net proceeds from the sale of the Facility Fee Shares equal to the Share Value. The Lender shall have the right to sell the Facility Fee Shares in the Principal Trading Market or otherwise, at any time in accordance with applicable securities laws. At any time the Lender may elect after the Twelve Month Valuation Date (or prior to such Twelve Month Valuation Date, if Lender has sold all Facility Fee Shares prior to such Twelve Month Valuation Date), the Lender may deliver to the Borrower a reconciliation statement showing the net proceeds actually received by the Lender from the sale of the Facility Fee Shares (the “Sale Reconciliation”). If, as of the date of the delivery by Lender of the Sale Reconciliation, the Lender has not realized net proceeds from the sale of such Facility Fee Shares equal to at least the Share Value, as shown on the Sale Reconciliation, then the Borrower shall immediately take all required action necessary or required in order to cause the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock to the Lender in an amount sufficient such that, when sold and the net proceeds thereof are added to the net proceeds from the sale of any of the previously issued and sold Facility Fee Shares, the Lender shall have received total net funds equal to the Share Value. If additional shares of Common Stock are issued pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, and after the sale of such additional issued shares of Common Stock, the Lender still has not received net proceeds equal to at least the Share Value, then the Borrower shall again be required to immediately take all required action necessary or required in order to cause the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock to the Lender as contemplated above, and such additional issuances shall continue until the Lender has received net proceeds from the sale of such Common Stock equal to the Share Value. In the event the Lender receives net proceeds from the sale of Facility Fee Shares equal to the Share Value, and the Lender still has Facility Fee Shares remaining to be sold, the Lender shall return all such remaining Facility Fee Shares to the Borrower. In the event additional Common Stock is required to be issued as outlined above, the Borrower shall instruct its Transfer Agent to issue certificates representing such additional shares of Common Stock to the Lender immediately subsequent to the Lender’s notification to the Borrower that additional shares of Common Stock are issuable hereunder, and the Borrower shall in any event cause its Transfer Agent to deliver such certificates to Lender within three (3) Business Days following the date Lender notifies the Borrower that additional shares of Common Stock are to be issued hereunder. In the event such certificates representing such additional shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder shall not be delivered to the Lender within said three (3) Business Day period, same shall be an immediate default under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
14
(iii) Mandatory Redemption. On that date which is six (6) months following the Closing Date, the Borrower shall redeem all Facility Fee Shares, and all other shares of common stock previously issued to the Lender by Borrower in connection with any other transaction with Lender then in Lender’s possession, for cash equal to the Share Value (as defined in this Agreement and in each other agreement entered into by Borrower with Lender), less any cash proceeds received by the Lender from any previous sales of Facility Fee Shares and any previous sales of other shares of common stock previously issued to the Lender by Borrower in connection with any other transaction with Lender, payable by wire transfer to an account designated by Lender.
(iv) Optional Redemption. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time the Facility Fee Shares shall become unrestricted and remain unsold in the possession of the Lender, the Borrower may redeem any unsold Facility Fee Shares, or any portion thereof, for a price equal to the Share Value or, if applicable, that fractional portion of the Share Value equal to the fraction of the Facility Fee Shares which become unrestricted and remains unsold in the possession of the Lender as of the date of such request for redemption. Upon Lender’s receipt of such cash payment in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Lender shall return any then remaining Facility Fee Shares in its possession back to the Borrower and otherwise undertake any required actions reasonably requested by Borrower to have such then remaining redeemed Facility Fee Shares returned to Borrower.
(g) Matters with Respect to Common Stock.
(i) Issuance of Conversion Shares. The parties hereto acknowledge that pursuant to the terms of the Note, Lender has the right, at its discretion, to convert amounts due under the Note into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Note. In the event, for any reason, the Borrower fails to issue, or cause the Transfer Agent to issue, any portion of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note (the “Conversion Shares”) to Lender in connection with the exercise by Lender of any of its conversion rights under the Note, then the parties hereto acknowledge that Lender shall irrevocably be entitled to deliver to the Transfer Agent, on behalf of itself and the Borrower, a “Conversion Notice” (as defined in the Note) requesting the issuance of the Conversion Shares then issuable in accordance with the terms of the Note, and the Transfer Agent, provided they are the acting transfer agent for the Borrower at the time, shall, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Borrower, issue the Conversion Shares applicable to the Conversion Notice then being exercised, and surrender to a nationally recognized overnight courier for delivery to Lender at the address specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate of the Common Stock of the Borrower, registered in the name of Lender or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares to which Lender shall be then entitled under the Note, as set forth in the Conversion Notice.
15
(ii) Issuance of Additional Common Stock Under Section 2.2(f). The parties hereto acknowledge that pursuant hereto, the Borrower has agreed to issue, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement and in the future, certain shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock. In the event, for any reason, the Borrower fails to issue, or cause its Transfer Agent to issue, any portion of the Common Stock issuable to Lender hererunder, either now or in the future, then the parties hereto acknowledge that Lender shall irrevocably be entitled to deliver to the Transfer Agent, on behalf of itself and the Borrower, a written instruction requesting the issuance of the shares of Common Stock then issuable in accordance herewith, and the Transfer Agent, provided they are the acting transfer agent for the Borrower at the time, shall, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Borrower, issue such shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock as directed by Lender, and surrender to a nationally recognized overnight courier for delivery to Lender at the address specified in the Lender’s notice, a certificate of the Common Stock of the Borrower, registered in the name of Lender, for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to Lender in accordance herewith.
(iii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. In the event that Lender has any shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock bearing any restrictive legends, and Lender, through its counsel or other representatives, submits to the Transfer Agent any such shares for the removal of the restrictive legends thereon, whether in connection with a sale of such shares pursuant to any exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act, or otherwise, and the Borrower and or its counsel refuses or fails for any reason to render an opinion of counsel or any other documents, certificates or instructions required for the removal of the restrictive legends, then: (A) to the extent such legends could be lawfully removed under applicable laws, Borrower’s failure to provide the required opinion of counsel or any other documents, certificates or instructions required for the removal of the restrictive legends shall be an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents; and (B) the Borrower hereby agrees and acknowledges that Lender is hereby irrevocably and expressly authorized to have counsel to Lender render any and all opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be required for purposes of removing such restrictive legends, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Borrower, issue any such shares without restrictive legends as instructed by Lender, and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified by Lender, certificates, registered in the name of Lender or its designees, representing the shares of Common Stock to which Lender is entitled, without any restrictive legends and otherwise freely transferable on the books and records of the Borrower.
16
(iv) Authorized Agent of the Borrower. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender and its counsel and its representatives, each as the Borrower’s duly authorized agent and attorney-in-fact for the Borrower for the purposes of authorizing and instructing the Transfer Agent to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from Lender, or any counsel or representatives of Lender, as specifically contemplated herein. The authorization and power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as any Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents remain outstanding, and so long as the Lender owns or has the right to receive, any shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock hereunder or under the Note. In this regard, the Borrower hereby confirms to the Transfer Agent and the Lender that it can NOT and will NOT give instructions, including stop orders or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement with regard to the matters contemplated herein, and that the Lender shall have the absolute right to provide a copy of this Agreement to the Transfer Agent as evidence of the Borrower’s irrevocable authority for Lender and Transfer Agent to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from Lender, or any counsel or representatives of Lender, as specifically contemplated herein, without any further instructions, orders or confirmations from the Borrower.
(v) Injunction and Specific Performance. The Borrower specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of any provision of this Section, the Lender will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if this Agreement were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Section by the Borrower, the Lender shall be entitled to obtain, in addition to all other rights or remedies Lender may have, at law or in equity, an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this Section.
2.3 Renewal of Loans; Non-Renewal of Loans; Fees. On the Maturity Date, so long as no Event of Default exists, and so long as no event has occurred that, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, Borrower shall have the option to request a renewal of the Loan Commitment and extension of the Maturity Date for one (1) additional twelve (12) month period. To make such request, Borrower shall give written notice to Lender of Borrower’s request to renew the Loan Commitment and extend the Maturity Date for an additional twelve (12) month period on or before the Maturity Date. Lender may elect to accept or reject Borrower’s request for a renewal of the Loan Commitment and extension of the Maturity Date in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event Lender shall accept Borrower’s request for renewal and extension, Borrower shall, immediately upon demand from Lender and as a condition to the renewal and extension, deliver a renewal fee to Lender equal to two percent (2%) of the then outstanding Loan Commitment.
17
2.4 Interest and Fee Computation; Collection of Funds. Interest accrued hereunder shall be payable as set forth in Section 2.1 hereof. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and shall be paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Principal payments submitted in funds not immediately available shall continue to bear interest until collected. If any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing any interest in respect of such payment. Any Obligations which are not paid when due (subject to applicable grace periods) shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
2.5 Automatic Debit. In order to effectuate the timely payment of any of the Obligations when due, Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Lender, at Lender’s option, to: (i) debit, or cause or instruct the debit of, the amount of the Obligations to any ordinary deposit account of Borrower; or (ii) make a Loan hereunder to pay the amount of the Obligations.
2.6 Discretionary Disbursements. Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may immediately upon notice to Borrower, disburse any or all proceeds of the Loans made or available to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement to pay any fees, costs, expenses or other amounts required to be paid by Borrower hereunder and not so paid. All monies so disbursed shall be a part of the Obligations, payable by Borrower on demand from Lender.
2.7 US Dollars; Currency Risk. All payments will be in Dollars. In the event payments are not in Dollars, Borrower shall bear the risk of Lender’s currency losses, and if Lender suffers a currency loss and the result is to increase the cost to Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender under this Agreement or under the Note with respect thereto, then after demand by Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth reasonably detailed calculations of the basis of such demand), Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or such reduction. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to advance or cause an advance of Loans to pay for the increased costs or reductions associated with any such currency losses.

Except as permitted under this Agreement, any Change in Control shall occur; provided, however, a Change in Control shall not constitute an Event of Default if: (i) it arises out of an event or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of Borrower (for example, but not by way of limitation, a transfer of ownership interest due to death or incapacity); and (ii) within sixty (60) days after such Change in Control, Borrower provides Lender with information concerning the identity and qualifications of the individual or individuals who will be in Control, and such individual or individuals shall be acceptable to Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion.

The entry of any judgment, decree, levy, attachment, garnishment or other process, or the filing of any Lien against, any of the Collateral or any collateral under a separate security agreement securing any of the Obligations, and such judgment or other process shall not have been, within thirty (30) days from the entry thereof: (i) bonded over to the satisfaction of Lender and appealed; (ii) vacated; or (iii) discharged, or the loss, theft, destruction, seizure or forfeiture, or the occurrence of any material deterioration or impairment of any of the Collateral or any of the Collateral under any security agreement securing any of the Obligations, or any material decline or depreciation in the value or market price thereof (whether actual or reasonably anticipated), which causes the Collateral, in the sole opinion of Lender acting in good faith, to become unsatisfactory as to value or character, or which causes Lender to reasonably believe that it is insecure and that the likelihood for repayment of the Obligations is or will soon be impaired, time being of the essence. The cause of such deterioration, impairment, decline or depreciation shall include, but is not limited to, the failure by the Credit Parties to do any act deemed reasonably necessary by Lender to preserve and maintain the value and collectability of the Collateral.
12.12 Adverse Change in Financial Condition. The determination in good faith by the Lender that a material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition or operations of any Credit Party, or the Collateral, which change could have a Material Adverse Effect on the prospect for the Borrower to fully and punctually realize the full benefits conferred on Lender by this Agreement, or the prospect of repayment of all Obligations.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all rights, powers and remedies set forth in the Loan Documents, in any written agreement or instrument (other than this Agreement or the Loan Documents) relating to any of the Obligations or any security therefor, or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may, at its option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, declare its commitments to Borrower to be terminated and all Obligations to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under either Section 12.6, “Assignment for Creditors”, or Section 12.7, “Bankruptcy”, all commitments of Lender to Borrower shall immediately terminate and all Obligations shall be automatically due and payable, all without demand, notice or further action of any kind required on the part of Lender. The Credit Parties hereby waive any and all presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices and demands in connection with the enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, and hereby consent to, and waive notice of release, with or without consideration, of the Credit Parties or of any Collateral, notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary.
47
No Event of Default shall be waived by Lender, except and unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Lender. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the exercise of the same or any other right at any other time; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. There shall be no obligation on the part of Lender to exercise any remedy available to Lender in any order. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity. Each Credit Party agrees that in the event that a Credit Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, the Note, and other Loan Documents, or any other agreements with Lender, no remedy of law will provide adequate relief to Lender, and further agrees that Lender shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies the Lender may have under the Loan Documents or applicable law, the Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Confession of Judgment to be entered into a court of competent jurisdiction, provided, however, that the Lender shall give the Borrower five (5) days written notice of its intent to file the Confession of Judgment, during which period the Borrower shall have the opportunity to cure the applicable defaults.

(c) release, extension, renewal, modification or substitution by Lender of the Note, or any note evidencing any of the Obligations; or

No amendment, modification, termination, discharge or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by the Credit Parties therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only for the specific purpose for which given.
