$7,000,000.00 REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE


given by


COGENTIX MEDICAL, Inc.,


MACHIDA INCORPORATED, and


UROPLASTY, LLC


to


VENTURE BANK







Dated: September 18, 2015







FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Cogentix Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation, whose address is: 5420 Felt! Road, Minnetonka, MN 55343 ("Cogentix"), Machida Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, whose address is: 5420 Felt! Road, Minnetonka, MN 55343 ("Machida"), and Uroplasty, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, whose address is: 5420 Felt1 Road, Minnetonka, MN 55343 ("Uroplasty")(Cogentix, Machida, and Uroplasty are collectively referred to hereinafter as "Borrower") hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of Venture Bank, a Minnesota banking corporation, or its assigns ("Holder"), at its offices at 6210 Wayzata Boulevard, Golden Valley, MN 55416, or at such other place as Holder may, from time to time, designate in writing, the principal sum of up to Seven Million and 00/100ths Dollars ($7,000,000.00), or such amount as may be outstanding under that certain Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between Borrower and Holder (as the same may be amended from time to time the "Loan Agreement"), together with interest on any and all principal amounts from time to time outstanding.


 


The interest rate charged on this Revolving Note (hereinafter defined as "Note") shall be adjusted daily (the "Interest Adjustment Date") until the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined) and shall be an annual rate of interest equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 2.25%, provided that in no case shall the interest rate charged hereon be less than an annual rate of interest of five and one half percent (5.5%)(the "Interest Rate"). Holder's internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest error. Interest shall be computed on the basis of 360 days per year, but charged for the actual number of days principal is unpaid. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the interest rate borne by this Note exceed the maximum lawful rate. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all principal, interest and other amounts payable under this Note shall be due and payable in full on March 18, 2017 (the "Maturity Date").


 


Borrower shall (i) make monthly payments of such amount of interest as accrues in arrears on the outstanding principal balance of this Note due on the 18th day of each month beginning on the 18th day of October, 2015 and continuing thereafter on the 18th day of each month until the Maturity Date and (ii) repay principal owed on this Note as and when principal payments are required under the Loan Agreement. All payments shall be applied first to any amounts owing to Holder other than interest and principal, second to accrued interest and third to the principal balance.


 


This Note is the "Note" issued under the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement. Holder is entitled to all the benefits provided for in the Loan Agreement, or referred to therein, to which Loan Agreement reference is made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the indebtedness evidenced hereby was incurred and is to be repaid. The provisions of the Loan Agreement are incorporated by reference herein with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein.


 











Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Borrower may borrow against this Note and repay and reborrow, in whole or in part, without regard to the cumulative amount of advances up to Seven Million and 00/100ths Dollars ($7,000,000.00) outstanding at any time. Borrower's ability to draw funds on this Note and the maximum principal balance of this Note shall be limited to the advance rates and an amount as determined pursuant the Loan Agreement and the Borrower Base Certificate completed by Borrower and provided to Holder on a monthly basis pursuant thereto.


 


A pro-rated non-usage fee of .25% based on the average unused and available portion of the line of credit (equal to the lesser of $7,000,000.00 or the unused and available portion of the line of credit as reflected in the Borrowing Base Certificate, as defined in the Loan Agreement, from time to time) will be assessed on a monthly basis pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.


 


Borrower shall pay to Holder a late charge with respect to any payment of interest or principal not received by Holder within ten (10) days after a payment is due in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such payment or $50.00, whichever is greater.


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if an Event of Default occurs and for the entire period of time that an Event of Default exists, as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement and including Borrower's failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased by adding 6.00 percentage point margin ("Default Rate Margin") to the Interest Rate. The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate charge that would have applied had there been no default. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.


 


This Note is secured by, among other things, a Security Agreement (as defined in the Loan Agreement) dated as of the date hereof from Borrower to Holder (as the same may be amended from time to time, the "Security Agreement")(this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement, and the other documents entered into in connection therewith are referred to collectively herein as the "Loan Documents"), and is subject to acceleration as provided therein.


 


All of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions and stipulations contained in the Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein. Time is of the essence hereof. In the event of any default in the payment of any principal, interest or other indebtedness when such payment is due hereunder, or if any Event of Default (as defined in any of the Loan Documents) occurs and while it is continuing, then Holder may, as its right and option, declare immediately due and payable the principal balance of this Note and interest accrued hereon to the date of declaration, and all other sums due hereunder or under the Loan Documents, and payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies provided in the Loan Documents. Holder may extend the time of payment of interest and/or principal of this Note without notice to or consent of any party liable hereon and without releasing such party.






2










Borrower and any guarantor, surety or endorser herby waives demand, presentment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor and diligence in collection and agrees that without any notice Holder hereof may take and/or release additional security hereof or Holder hereof may, from time to time, release any part or parts of the property and interests subject to the Security Agreement with or without consideration and that in any such case Borrower and any guarantor, surety or endorser shall remain liable to pay the unpaid balance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby as so additionally secured, extended, renewed or modified and notwithstanding any such release.


 


The remedies of Holder, as provided herein and in the Loan Documents, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur. Holder may, in its discretion, waive any default hereunder and it consequences and rescind any declaration of acceleration of principal; provided, however, that no action or inaction by Holder shall be deemed a waiver of any of Holder's rights or remedies unless Holder specifically agrees in writing that such action or inaction shall constitute a waiver of its rights or remedies. Any waiver shall only apply to the particular instance for which it was agreed. No delay in exercising and no failure in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or afforded by law shall be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or provided by law, whether on such occasion or any future occasion, nor shall such delay be construed as a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein. The exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right or remedy.


 


This Note maybe prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time, without penalty or premium. 


 


Borrower shall pay any attorneys' fees incurred by Holder in enforcing the provisions of or collecting amounts due under this Note or the other Loan Documents, whether suit be brought or not.


 


This Note is expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, loaning, or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible rates or condition under applicable law. If for any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provisions hereof or any other Loan Document at any time given for the performance of such provision shall involve transcending the maximum permissible limits prescribed by law, then the amounts to be paid shall automatically be reduced to the limit of such maximum permissible limits and if under any circumstances Lender should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the maximum permissible limits, such amounts in excess of maximum permissible limits shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between Borrower and Lender.


 



3










This Note may be assigned by Holder from time to time by an endorsement hereon or by other writing; provided that notice of such assignment shall be given in writing to Borrower. The obligations of Borrower hereunder may not be assigned by Borrower without the written consent thereto by Holder.







It is intended that this Note is made with reference to and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.







BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED AND THAT THE TIME AND EXPENSE REQUIRED FOR TRIAL BY A JURY MAY EXCEED THE TIME AND EXPENSE REQUIRED FOR TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. BORROWER, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH LEGAL COUNSEL OF BORROWER'S CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF LENDER AND BORROWER, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS NOTE, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND/OR ANY RELATED AGREEMENTS, AND/OR OBLIGATIONS THEREUNDER. BORROWER HAS READ ALL OF THIS NOTE AND UNDERSTANDS ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE. BORROWER ALSO AGREES THAT COMPLIANCE BY LENDER WITH THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD FAITH AND SHALL BE CONSIDERED REASONABLE FOR ALL PURPOSES.







IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that all conditions, acts and things required to exist, to happen and to be performed precedent to or in the issuance of this Note do exist, have happened and have been performed in regular and due form as required by law.

F.              Each account, instrument, chattel paper, other right to payment, and general intangible constituting Collateral is, or will be when acquired, the valid, genuine, and legally enforceable obligation of the account debtor or other obligor named therein or in Debtor's records pertaining thereto as being obligated to pay such obligation, subject to no defense, setoff, or counterclaim except as permitted in such records.

vi.          at Secured Party's request, promptly execute, endorse, and deliver such financing statements and other instruments, documents, chattel paper, and writings, and take such other actions deemed by Secured Party to be necessary or desirable to establish, protect, perfect, or enforce the Security Interest and the rights of Secured Party under this Agreement and applicable law, and pay all costs of filing financing statements and other writings in all public offices where filing is deemed by Secured Party to be necessary or desirable.


 


I.              Where the Collateral is in the possession of a third party, Debtor will join with Secured Party in notifying the third party of Secured Party's security interest and shall obtain an acknowledgment from the third party that it is holding the Collateral for the benefit of Secured Party.


 


J.              Debtor will cooperate with Secured Party in obtaining control with respect to Collateral consisting of deposit accounts, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, and electronic chattel paper.

5.                    LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY. If Debtor, at any time, fails to perform or observe any agreement herein, Secured Party, in the name and on behalf of Debtor or, at its option, in its own name, may perform or observe such agreement and take any action which Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable to cure or correct such failure. Debtor irrevocably authorizes Secured Party and grants Secured Party a limited power of attorney in the name and on behalf of Debtor or, at its option, in its own name, to collect, receive, receipt for, create, prepare, complete, execute, endorse, deliver, and file any and all financing statements, insurance applications, remittances, instruments, documents, chattel paper, and other writings, to grant an extension to, compromise, settle, waive, notify, amend, adjust, change, and release any obligation of any account debtor, obligor, insurer, or other person pertaining to the Collateral, and take any other action deemed by Secured Party to be necessary or desirable to establish, perfect, protect, or enforce the Security Interest. All of Secured Party's advances, charges, costs, and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, in connection with the Obligations and in the protection and exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder, together with interest thereon at the highest rate then applicable to any of the Obligations, shall be secured hereunder and shall be paid by Debtor to Secured Party on demand.

		D.	appoint a receiver to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to protect and preserve the Collateral, to operate the Collateral preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the rents from the Collateral. The receiver may serve without bond, if permitted by law and the foregoing right to a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Collateral exceed the Obligations by a substantial amount;






		E.	collect revenues, payments, rents, income and other proceeds from the Collateral and transfer any of the Collateral into Secured Party's own name or its nominee; and/or






		F.	exercise and enforce any and all rights and remedies available upon default under this Agreement, the Uniform Commercial Code, and any other applicable agreements and laws.










If notice to Debtor of any intended disposition of the Collateral or other action is required, such notice shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if mailed by regular or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Debtor at the addresses stated at the beginning of this Agreement or at the most recent address shown in Secured Party's records, at least ten (10) days prior to the action described in such notice. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Secured Party's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement, the Loan Documents or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.


 


8.                   MISCELLANEOUS. A carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this Agreement is sufficient as a financing statement. This Agreement cannot be waived, modified, amended, abridged, supplemented, terminated, or discharged, and the Security Interest cannot be released or terminated, except as provided in Section 10 of the Loan Agreement or by a writing duly executed by Secured Party. A waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. No delay or failure to act shall preclude the exercise or enforcement of any of Secured Party's rights or remedies. All rights and remedies of Secured Party shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, concurrently, or successively at Secured Party's option, and the exercise or enforcement of any one such right or remedy shall not be a condition to or bar the exercise or enforcement of any other. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Secured Party and shall bind all persons and parties who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement. If any provision or application of this Agreement is held unlawful or unenforceable in any respect, such illegality or unenforceability shall not affect other provisions or applications which can be given effect, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the unlawful or unenforceable provision or application had never been contained herein or prescribed hereby. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the creation, payment, and performance of the Obligations.

9.                   ENFORCEMENT. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota without reference to its conflict of laws provisions. The exclusive venue for adjudication or resolution of all disputes and collections relating to this Agreement, the Collateral, the Security Interest, or any of the Obligations, shall be in any state or federal court in the State of Minnesota, as selected by Secured Party in its sole discretion, and Debtor specifically consents to the venue and jurisdiction of said courts as chosen by Secured Party. In the event of any Event of Default hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents, Debtor agrees to pay, upon demand, all costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, regardless of whether legal action is commenced.


 


10.               WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED AND THAT THE TIME AND EXPENSE REQUIRED FOR TRIAL BY A JURY MAY EXCEED THE TIME AND EXPENSE REQUIRED FOR TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. DEBTOR, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF DEBTOR'S CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF SECURED PARTY AND DEBTOR, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EVIDENCING OR SECURING THE OBLIGATIONS. DEBTOR HAS READ ALL OF THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDS ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. DEBTOR ALSO AGREES THAT COMPLIANCE BY SECURED PARTY WITH THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD FAITH AND SHALL BE CONSIDERED REASONABLE FOR ALL PURPOSES.
