This
BUSINESS FINANCING AGREEMENT, dated as of November 4, 2016, is made
and entered into between WESTERN ALLIANCE BANK, an Arizona
corporation (“Lender”)
and CHROMADEX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, CHROMADEX, INC.,
a California corporation, CHROMADEX ANALYTICS, INC., a Nevada
corporation and SPHERIX CONSULTING, INC., a Delaware corporation
(each, a “Borrower”
and collectively, “Borrowers”)
on the following terms and conditions:

 




1.

REVOLVING CREDIT LINE.





 




1.1

Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, from the date on which this Agreement becomes effective
until the Maturity Date, Lender will make Advances to Borrowers not
exceeding the Credit Limit or the Borrowing Base, whichever is
less; provided that in no event shall Lender be obligated to make
any Advance that results in an Overadvance or while any Overadvance
is outstanding. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid
and subject to the terms and conditions hereof reborrowed during
the term of this Agreement. It shall be a condition to each Advance
that (a) an Advance Request acceptable to Lender has been received
by Lender, (b) all of the representations and warranties set
forth in Section 3 are true and correct in all material
respects on the date of such Advance as though made at and as of
each such date, and (c) no Default has occurred and is
continuing, or would result from such Advance.





 




1.2

Advance Requests. A Borrower may request that Lender make an Advance
by delivering to Lender an Advance Request therefor and Lender
shall be entitled to rely on all the information provided by
Borrowers to Lender on or with the Advance Request. Lender may
honor Advance Requests, instructions or repayments given by any
Borrower (if an individual) or by any Authorized Person. So
long as all of the conditions for an Advance set forth herein have
been satisfied, Lender shall fund such Advance into
Borrowers’ Account within one business day of Lender's
receipt of the applicable Advance Request.





 




1.3

Due Diligence. Lender may audit
Borrowers’ Receivables/Eligible Inventory and any and all
records pertaining to the Collateral, at Lender’s sole
discretion (subject to the following provisions) and at Borrowers
expense. The first such audit shall be
completed prior to the first Advance being made and no less often
than annually thereafter. Lender may at any time and from
time to time contact Account Debtors and other persons obligated or
knowledgeable in respect of Receivables/Eligible Inventory to,
among other things, confirm the Receivable Amount of such
Receivables/Eligible Inventory, to determine whether
Receivables/Eligible Inventory constitute Eligible Receivables or
the value of the Eligible Inventory, and for any other purpose in
connection with this Agreement. If any of the Collateral or
Borrowers’ books or records pertaining to the Collateral are
in the possession of a third party, Borrowers authorize that third
party to permit Lender or its agents to have access to perform
inspections or audits thereof and to respond to Lender's requests
for information concerning such Collateral and
records.

1.4

Collections.





 




(a)

Lender shall have
the exclusive right to receive all Collections on all Receivables.
Borrowers shall, within 60 days of the date of this Agreement,
(i) notify, transfer and deliver to Lender all Collections
Borrowers receive for deposit into the Collection Account, (ii)
deliver to Lender a detailed cash receipts journal on Friday of
each week until the Lockbox is operational, and (iii) immediately
enter into a collection services agreement acceptable to Lender
(the “Lockbox
Agreement”) pursuant to which all Collections received
in the Lockbox shall be deposited into the Collection Account.
Borrowers shall use the Lockbox address as the remit to and payment
address for all of Borrowers’ Collections from Account
Debtors, and within 60 days of the date of this Agreement,
Borrowers shall instruct all Account Debtors to make payments
either directly to the Lockbox for deposit by Lender directly to
the Collection Account, or instruct them to deliver such payments
to Lender by wire transfer, ACH, or other means as Lender may
direct for deposit to the Lockbox or Collection Account. It will be
considered an immediate Event of Default if this does not occur or
the Lockbox is not operational within 60 days of the date of this
Agreement.





 




(b)

At Lender’s
option, Lender may either (i) transfer all Collections deposited
into the Collection Account to Borrowers’ Account, or (ii)
apply the Collections deposited into the Collection Account to the
outstanding Account Balance, in either case, within three business
days of the date received; provided that upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Default, Lender may apply all
Collections to the Obligations in such order and manner as Lender
may determine. Lender has no duty to do any act other than to apply
such amounts as required above. If an item of Collections is not
honored or Lender does not receive good funds for any reason, any
amount previously transferred to Borrowers’ Account or
applied to the Account Balance shall be reversed as of the date
transferred or applied, as applicable, and, if applied to the
Account Balance, the Finance Charge will accrue as if the
Collections had not been so applied. Lender shall have, with
respect to any goods related to the Receivables, all the rights and
remedies of an unpaid seller under the UCC and other applicable
law, including the rights of replevin, claim and delivery,
reclamation and stoppage in transit.

1.5

Receivables Activity Report. Within 30
days after the end of each Month End, Lender shall send to
Borrowers a report covering the transactions for the prior billing
period, including the amount of all Advances, Collections,
Adjustments, Finance Charges, and other fees and charges. The
accounting shall be deemed correct and conclusive unless a Borrower
makes a written objection to Lender within 30 days after Lender
sends the accounting to Borrowers.





 




1.6

Adjustments. In the event any Adjustment
or dispute is asserted by any Account Debtor, Borrowers shall
promptly advise Lender and shall, subject to Lender’s
approval, resolve such disputes and advise Lender of any
Adjustments; provided that in no case will
the aggregate Adjustments made with respect to all Receivables
exceed $50,000 in the aggregate in any calendar month unless
Borrowers have obtained the prior written consent of Lender. So
long as any Obligations are outstanding, Lender shall have the
right, at any time, to take possession of any rejected, returned,
or recovered personal property. If such possession is not taken by
Lender, Borrowers shall, if requested by Lender, resell such
returned, rejected or recovered personal property for
Lender’s account at Borrowers’ expense with the
proceeds made payable to Lender. While Borrowers retain possession
of any returned goods, Borrowers shall, if requested by Lender,
segregate said goods and mark them as property of
Lender.





 




1.7

Recourse; Maturity. Advances and the
other Obligations shall be with full recourse against Borrowers. On
the Maturity Date, Borrowers will pay all then outstanding Advances
and other Obligations to Lender or such earlier date as shall be
herein provided.





 




1.8

terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to
issue or cause an Affiliate to issue letters of credit for the
account of any Borrower (each, a "Letter of
Credit" and collectively, "Letters of
Credit") from time to time; provided that (a) the Letter of
Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the Letter of
Credit Sublimit and (b) the Letter of Credit Obligations will be
treated as Advances for purposes of determining availability under
the Credit Limit and shall decrease, on a dollar-for-dollar basis,
the amount available for other Advances. The form and substance of
each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by Lender, in
its sole discretion. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the
additional terms of the Letter of Credit agreements, applications
and any related documents required by Lender in connection with the
issuance thereof (each, a "Letter of Credit
Agreement"). Each draft paid under any Letter of Credit
shall be repaid by Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of
the applicable Letter of Credit Agreement. No Letter of Credit
shall be issued that results in an Overadvance or while any
Overadvance is outstanding. Upon the Maturity Date, the amount of
Letters of Credit Obligations shall be secured by unencumbered cash
on terms acceptable to Lender if the term of this Agreement is not
extended by Lender.





 




1.9

Cash Management Services. Borrowers may
use availability hereunder up to the Cash Management Sublimit for
Lender's cash management services, which may include merchant
services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and
check cashing services identified in various cash management
services agreements related to such services (the "Cash Management
Services"). The entire Cash Management Sublimit will be
treated as an Advance for purposes of determining availability
under the Credit Limit and shall decrease, on a dollar-for-dollar
basis, the amount available for other Advances. The Cash Management
Services shall be subject to additional terms set forth in
applicable cash management services agreements.





 




1.10

Foreign Exchange Facility. Any Borrower
may enter in foreign exchange forward contracts with Lender under
which such Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Lender a
set amount of foreign currency more than one business day after the
contract date (the "FX Forward
Contract"). The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time
may not exceed 10 times the amount of the FX Sublimit. 10% of the
amount of each outstanding FX Forward Contract shall be treated as
an Advance for purposes of determining availability under the
Credit Limit and shall decrease, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the
amount available for other Advances. Lender may terminate the FX
Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs. Each FX Forward
Contract shall be subject to additional terms set forth in the
applicable FX Forward Contract or other agreements executed in
connection with the foreign exchange facility.





 




1.11

Overadvances. Upon any occurrence of an
Overadvance, Borrowers shall immediately pay down the Advances such
that, after giving effect to such payments, no Overadvance
exists.





 




2.

however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within
the 10 business day period or cannot after diligent attempts by

rate allowed by applicable law.

14.

JUDICIAL REFERENCE
PROVISION.





 




14.1

In the event the
Jury Trial Waiver set forth above is not enforceable, the parties
elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference
Provision.





 




14.2

With the exception
of the items specified in Section 14.3, below, any controversy,
dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”)
between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned
parties (collectively in this Section, the “Loan
Documents”), will be resolved by a reference
proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure
(“CCP”),
or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive
remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim
is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise
provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding
will be in the state or federal court in the county or district
where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located
or in the state or federal court in the county or district where
venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the
“Court”).





 




14.3

The matters that
shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i)
nonjudicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or
personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including,
without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and
(iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including,
without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession,
temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This
reference provision does not limit the right of any party to
exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in
clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent
jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv).
The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not
waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this
reference provision as provided herein.





 




14.4

The referee shall
be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement
of the parties. If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of
a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any
party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the
Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of
a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the
parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief
is not granted. Pursuant to CCP § 170.6, each party shall have
one peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Presiding
Judge of the Court (or his or her representative).





 




14.5

The parties agree
that time is of the essence in conducting the reference
proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject
to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause
shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting
conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of
the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact
within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the
conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty
(20) days after the matter has been submitted for
decision.





 




14.6

The referee will
have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery.
The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for
good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested
discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based
upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to
“priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be
taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all
other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days
after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be
resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose
decision shall be final and binding.





 




14.7

Except as expressly
set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which
the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place
of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other
questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference
proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the
referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court
reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter
will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the
referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The
party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange
for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s
power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will
equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at
trial.





 




14.8

The referee shall
be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing
case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The
rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of
California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The
referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal
relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties
and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court
proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary
judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a
decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of
all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference.
Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the
Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action
had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final,
binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal
from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or
order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to
findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of
decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different
judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference
proceeding under this provision.





 




 

-14-








 








14.9

If the enabling
legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed
(and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the
parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure
will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration
will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with
the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of
the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect
to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration
proceeding.





 




14.10

THE PARTIES
RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS
RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A
REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE,
EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF
ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY
CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF
OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS.





 




15.

EXECUTION, EFFECTIVENESS,
SURVIVAL. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract. This Agreement and the other documents executed in
connection herewith constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and
all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall
be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement. This Agreement shall become
effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by Borrowers and
Lender and shall continue in full force and effect until the
Maturity Date or termination by Borrower pursuant to Section 18 and
thereafter so long as any Obligations remain outstanding hereunder.
Lender reserves the right to issue press releases, advertisements,
and other promotional materials describing any successful outcome
of services provided on Borrowers’ behalf, provided that
Borrower has the opportunity to review and approve any such items
in advance. Each Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right
to identify Borrower by name in those materials, provided that
Borrower has the opportunity to review and approve any such items
in advance.





 




16.

OTHER AGREEMENTS. Any security
agreements, liens and/or security interests securing payment of any
obligations of any Borrower owing to Lender or its Affiliates also
secure the Obligations, and are valid and subsisting and are not
adversely affected by execution of this Agreement. An Event of
Default under this Agreement constitutes a default under other
outstanding agreements between any Borrower and Lender or its
Affiliates.





 




17.

REVIVAL AND REINSTATEMENT OF
OBLIGATIONS. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations
by any Borrower or any guarantor, or the transfer to Lender of any
property should for any reason subsequently be asserted, or
declared, to be void or voidable under any state or federal law
relating to creditors' rights, including provisions of the United
States Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances,
preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or
transfers of property (each, a "Voidable
Transfer"), and if Lender is required to repay or restore,
in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so
upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such
Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that Lender is required or
elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs,
expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees of Lender related thereto,
the liability of Borrowers and such guarantor automatically shall
be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such
Voidable Transfer had never been made.





 




18.

TERM AND TERMINATION. Borrowers have the
right to terminate this Agreement at any time upon no less than 30
days’ notice to Lender and payment in full of the Obligations
(other than inchoate indemnity obligations) including the
Termination Fee (if applicable). Upon such notice and payment in
full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity
obligations), Lender agrees that (i) all guarantees granted to the
Lender as a guarantee for such Obligations shall be automatically
released and discharged, (ii) all of the right, title and interest
(including security interests) of the Lender in and to all of the
Collateral shall automatically be released, discharged and
terminated, (iv) Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrowers any
lien releases, mortgage releases, discharges of security interests,
and other similar discharge or release documents (in recordable
form if applicable) as are necessary to effectuate the termination
and release of the security interests and liens securing the
Obligations, (v) Lender shall return any promissory notes issued by
Borrowers in connection with the credit extended under this
Agreement, duly marked “paid in full” or
“cancelled”, (vi) Lender shall return to Borrowers any
physical Collateral delivered by Borrowers in connection herewith,
and (vii) any Borrower or its designate shall be authorized to file
termination statements with respect to all UCC financing statements
filed by or for the benefit of the Lender against Borrowers in
respect of the Obligations.





 




19.

PATRIOT ACT NOTIFICATION. Lender hereby
notifies Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October
26, 2001 (“Patriot
Act”), Lender is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies Borrowers, which information includes
the names and addresses of Borrowers and other information that
will allow Lender to identify Borrowers in accordance with the
Patriot Act.





 




20.

NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT. BY SIGNING
THIS DOCUMENT EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND AGREES THAT: (A) THIS
WRITTEN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
PARTIES, (B) THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE
PARTIES, AND (C) THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
EVIDENCE OF ANY PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS OR UNDERSTANDINGS OF THE PARTIES.
