LOAN GUARANTEE, PAYMENT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT




     This Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of June 1, 2007 (the “Effective
Date”), by and between BIOHEART, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and
WILLIAM P. MURPHY, JR. M.D., an individual (the “Guarantor”).



WITNESSETH:




     WHEREAS, the Company expects to obtain a term loan (the “Loan”), in the principal
amount of $5,000,000, from Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”) pursuant to a certain loan
agreement between the Company and the Bank (the “Loan Agreement”) and related promissory
note (the “Note”);



     WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the Bank’s making the Loan and as security for the
Company’s obligations relating thereto, the Guarantor will pledge and assign to the Bank (the
“Pledge”) and grant to the Bank a first-priority security interest in, a $750,000 (the
“Collateral Amount”) letter of credit with the Bank (the “Pledged Letter of
Credit”);



     WHEREAS, subject to the closing of the Loan and in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, Guarantor has agreed to make payments to the Company equal to 13.33% (the
“Guaranteed Percentage”) of the interest and principal payable by the Company to the Bank
in connection with the Loan, which amounts shall be used by the Company solely to pay interest and
principal on the Loan;



     WHEREAS, as consideration for the Guarantor’s agreement to make the payments described above
and to grant, in favor of the Bank, the Pledge, the Company has agreed, upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein, to (i) issue the Guarantor a warrant or warrants to purchase shares of
the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) pay
certain fees to the Guarantor.



     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto,
the Company and the Guarantor agree as follows:




	1.	 	CONSIDERATION.





     1.1 PLEDGE DOCUMENTS AND PAYMENTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY.



     In consideration of the Company’s issuance of the Warrant (as defined in Section 1.2 below)
and payment of the Guarantee Fee (as defined in Section 1.2 below), the Guarantor hereby agrees
that it shall:



1









 





          (a) At Closing (as defined in Section 2.1 below), execute and deliver, in favor of the Bank,
the Pledged Letter of Credit and whatever documentation (such documentation, the “Pledge
Documents”) the Bank reasonably requires in connection with the Pledge.



          (b) During the period commencing on the Effective Date and terminating on the date that the
Company’s payment obligations under the Loan are satisfied and/or discharged in full, at least ten
(10) business days prior to the due date for any payment of interest (“Interest Payment”)
or payment of principal (“Principal Payment”) or other payment required to be made by the
Company to the Bank under the Loan, pay the Company an amount equal to the product obtained by
multiplying (x) the total amount of the payment then due and (y) the Guaranteed Percentage (each
such payment, a “Guarantor Payment”); provided that the aggregate amount of
Guarantor Payments shall not exceed the Collateral Amount. The Guarantor may, at its option, elect
to make Guarantor Payments by drawing, or authorizing the Bank to draw, on the Pledged Letter of
Credit, if approved by the Bank in its sole discretion.



          (c) The Company shall apply the Guarantor Payment towards an Interest Payment, Principal
Payment or other payment due in connection with the Loan, and shall either notify the Guarantor in
writing of the due date for any such payment, or shall promptly forward to the Guarantor any
correspondence received by the Company from the Bank regarding the amount and due date of such
Interest Payment, Principal Payment or other payment (as applicable). All payments hereunder shall
be made to the Aggregation Account (as defined in the Loan Agreement).



          (d) The Guarantor hereby authorizes the Company to notify the Bank in the event that the
Guarantor fails to make a Guarantor Payment when due.



     1.2 ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS AND PAYMENT OF MONTHLY FEES



     In consideration of the Guarantor’s issuing the Pledge in favor of the Bank the Company hereby
agrees that it shall:



          (a) At Closing (as defined in Section 2.1 below), issue to the Guarantor a warrant to purchase
an aggregate of 39,450 shares (the “Subject Shares”) of the Common Stock, with an exercise
price of $4.75 per share, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrant”).
The Warrant will provide that the number of Subject Shares will increase to 45,000 shares of the
Common Stock in the event the Company has not satisfied and/or discharged all of its payment
obligations under the Loan (the “Loan Satisfaction”) by September 30, 2007. The Warrant
will further provide that the number of Subject Shares will increase to 56,250, 75,000 and 112,500,
respectively, in the event the Company has not satisfied and/or discharged all of its material
payment obligations under this Agreement by the first anniversary, second anniversary and third
anniversary of the Effective Date, respectively.



          (b) Subject to Section 8(e), pay the Guarantor a cash fee (the “Guarantee Fee”) in the
amount determined by multiplying the Collateral Amount by 5.0% and multiplying the resulting amount
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed between the date hereof and the
earlier of (i) the date of the Loan Satisfaction and (ii) the date that is eight months following
the Effective Date (or such later date to which the maturity date of the Note may be extended), and
the denominator of which is 365. The Company shall pay the Guarantee Fee within five (5) business
days of the Trigger Date (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Trigger
Date” shall mean the earlier to occur of: (x) the closing date of an initial public offering of
the Company’s Common Stock generating at least $30 million of net proceeds to the Company occurring
on or before January 31, 2008 (a “Qualified Offering”); and (y) the date the Company
satisfies and/or discharges all of its payment obligations (a “BlueCrest Loan
Satisfaction”) under that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2007 by and
between the Company and BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. (the “BlueCrest Loan”).



2









 





          (c) If on or before the first business day of the 36th first full calendar month
after the date of the BlueCrest Loan (the “Outside Payment Date”) as of such date, the
Company has not effectuated a BlueCrest Loan Satisfaction or a Qualified Offering:



               (A) the Company shall use its best efforts to effectuate a BlueCrest Loan Satisfaction as soon
as possible following the Outside Payment Date; and



               (B) the Company shall pay the Guarantee Fee no later than five (5) business days following a
BlueCrest Loan Satisfaction.



          (d) At Closing, the Guarantor may enter into agreements (the “SubGuarantee
Agreements”) with one or more persons (each, a “Sub-Guarantor”) willing to (i)
contribute to the Guarantor a percentage (the “Sub-Guarantor Percentage”) of the total
amount of each Guarantor Payment to be paid by the Guarantor under this Agreement (the
“Sub-Guarantor Cash Payments”), (ii) indemnify the Guarantor for up to the Sub-Guarantor
Percentage of certain of the Expenses (as defined below). As consideration for entering into the
SubGuarantee Agreements, the Guarantor may assign to the Sub-Guarantors a portion of the Warrant
(such assigned portion, the “Sub-Guarantor Warrants”). The Guarantor shall provide notice
to the Company of the name and contact information of each Sub-Guarantor at Closing and shall
provide the Company a copy of each fully executed SubGuarantee Agreement.




	2.	 	THE CLOSING.





     2.1. CLOSING DATE. The parties agree to effect the transactions contemplated hereby (the
“Closing”) contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, which Closing shall be

     2.2 CLOSING DELIVERABLES.



          (a) At the Closing, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Guarantor:

good standing under the laws of the State of Florida and is duly qualified to do business as a

bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, (ii) rules of law governing specific performance,
injunctive relief and other equitable remedies, and (iii) the limitations imposed by applicable
federal or state securities laws on the indemnification provisions contained in this Agreement. The
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant have been duly authorized (the
“Warrant Shares”). When the Warrant Shares have been delivered against payment in
accordance with the terms of the Warrant, such Conversion Shares will have been, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.



     4.3. GOVERNMENTAL CONSENTS. All consents, approvals, orders, or authorizations of, or
registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations, or filings with, any governmental
authority, required on the part of the Company in connection with the valid execution and delivery

certain state and federal securities commissions, which notices shall be filed on a timely basis.

Guarantor Payment solely to pay amounts due or payable under the Loan.



     4.6 LITIGATION. Except as referenced on Exhibit 3(d) to the Loan Agreement, there is no

4









 





     4.7 NO CONFLICTING AGREEMENTS. There is no charter, bylaw, stock provision, partnership
agreement or other document pertaining to the organization, power or authority of Company and no
provision of any existing agreement (including, without limitation, the Loan Agreement or the
Senior Loan Agreement (as defined in the Loan Agreement)), mortgage, indenture or contract binding
on Company or affecting its property, which would conflict with or in any way prevent the
execution, delivery or carrying out of the terms of this Agreement.



     4.8 OWNERSHIP OF ASSETS. The Company has good title to its assets, and its assets are free
and clear of liens, except for the security interest of BlueCrest (as defined in the Loan
Agreement). For purposes of this Section 4.8, a sublicense of any of the Company’s intellectual

	5.	 	REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE PLEDGOR.





     The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Company and agrees as follows:



     5.1 RELIANCE. The Guarantor understands that the Company has relied on the information and
representations with respect to the Guarantor set forth in this Section 5 in determining, among
other things, whether an investment in the Warrant is suitable for the Guarantor, and the Guarantor
represents and warrants that all such information is true and correct as of the date hereof.



     5.2 POWER AND AUTHORITY. The Guarantor has all requisite power and authority to execute and
deliver this Agreement and the Pledge Documents and to carry out and perform its obligations
hereunder and thereunder.

under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”) and such Guarantor has no ability to
acquire the Warrant Shares until a date that is at least one year after the date the Warrants are

     5.4. INFORMATION AND SOPHISTICATION. The Guarantor has received all the information it has
requested from the Company that it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to
acquire the Warrant. The Guarantor has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from
the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Warrant and to obtain any additional
information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information given to the Guarantor. The
Guarantor further represents that it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risk of the investment in the Warrant and
the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”).



     5.5 DUE DILIGENCE. The Guarantor has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business,
investment, financial and accounting advisers in connection with its determination to enter into
this Agreement. The Guarantor has made its own decisions based upon its own judgment, due
diligence and advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary and, except for the

COMMUNICATED TO SUCH PURCHASER, WHICHEVER OCCURS LATER. PAYMENTS FOR TERMINATED
SUBSCRIPTIONS VOIDED BY PURCHASERS AS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS PARAGRAPH WILL BE
PROMPTLY REFUNDED WITHOUT INTEREST.



     5.8 Except as provided in Section 8 below, the Guarantor shall, at all times from the date

of Credit with the Bank.




	6.	 	REIMBURSEMENT OF PAYMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH PLEDGE DOCUMENTS AND THIS AGREEMENT.





(a) The Company hereby agrees to pay to the Guarantor (i) all reasonable and documented costs

Agreement, the Guarantee Documents and any agreements with any of the Other Guarantors (as defined
below), the Guarantor’s review of all documents in connection with the Loan and the Guarantor’s
provision of the Pledged Letter of Credit (the “Initial Expenses”) and (y) the Bank’s
taking any action against the Guarantor to enforce the Bank’s rights under the Guarantee Documents

Guarantor Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Company shall not be required to reimburse the Guarantor for Expenses that the
Guarantor would not have incurred but for the Guarantor’s failure to satisfy the terms and
conditions of this Agreement or the Guarantee Documents.



(b) Each payment to be made by the Company hereunder shall be due within thirty (30) days of
the receipt by the Company of a request for reimbursement from Guarantor; provided,
however, that if the date of any reimbursement request occurs prior to the Trigger Date, such
payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the Trigger Date or on the same date the
Company is required to pay the Guarantee Fee in accordance with Section 1.2(c) hereof, whichever
occurs first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall reimburse the Guarantor for the
Initial Expenses within ten (10) business days of the Closing.



(c) All payments payable by the Company hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds
to an account that the Guarantor shall designate from time to time in writing to the Company.
Payments due shall be made with interest thereon from the due date (or, in the case of the
Guarantor Payments, from the date that the Guarantor made such payment) until payment thereof by
the Company, at the Prime Rate offered by the Bank, plus 5%, and in effect as such due date. For
the avoidance of doubt, the due date for any reimbursement request shall be thirty (30) days after
the date of a written
reimbursement request made by the Guarantor.



7









 








     (d) The Company shall make the payments specified above even if there is a dispute about
whether the Bank is or was entitled to take any action to enforce its rights under the Guarantee
Documents. In no event shall the Company be liable to Guarantor for any special, indirect or
consequential damages incurred by Guarantor.



     7.1 GUARANTOR DEFAULT.



     (a) The failure by the Guarantor to: (x) pay any Guarantor Payment (whether in cash or by the
Bank drawing on the Pledged Letter of Credit) which failure is not cured within two (2) business
days of the Guarantor’s receipt of written notice from the Company of such failure or (y) comply
with the covenant set forth in Section 5.8 hereto shall constitute a “Key Default” hereunder.

breach of any of its material obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, a
breach that results in a Key Default; provided, however, (z) in no event shall the
Guarantor be liable to the Company for (A) any special, indirect or consequential damages; or (B)
an amount in excess of $900,000 (the “Damages Cap”); provided, however, that if the Bank
draws upon the Pledged CD, the amount liquidated by the Bank shall reduce the Damages Cap on a
dollar for dollar basis.



     7.2 COMPANY DEFAULT. The failure by the Company to pay or perform any material obligation
hereunder (including, without limitation, a breach of its obligations under Section 8 below) which
failure is not cured within two (2) business days of the Company’s receipt of written notice from
the Guarantor of such failure shall constitute a default hereunder. Upon any such default by the
Company, the Guarantor’s obligations to pay the Guarantor Payments shall be terminated.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify, defend and
hold the Guarantor harmless from and against all losses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys fees and court costs) incurred by the Guarantor as a result of the Company’s failure to
comply with its obligations hereunder; provided that Company’s maximum liability to the Guarantor
under this Agreement shall not exceed $900,000.

but is not required to, locate Eligible Substitute Guarantors (as defined below) desiring to
provide collateral to secure the Loan in substitution of the Pledged Letter of Credit. For
purposes of this Agreement, an “Eligible Substitute Guarantor” is a natural person or
entity that:



          (i) is an “Accredited Investor”;



          (ii) is acceptable to the Bank, in the Bank’s sole discretion;



          (iii) agrees to provide collateral to secure the Loan, which collateral is acceptable to the
Bank in the Bank’s sole discretion (“Substitute Collateral”);

and



          (vi) agrees to be bound by that certain Indemnification Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, by and among the Guarantor and the Other Guarantors.



     (c) In the event that, within two (2) days of the date of the Company’s receipt of the
Repayment Election Notice (the “Substitution Period”), (i) the Company enters into fully
executed Substitute Loan Guarantee Agreements with one or more Eligible Substitute Guarantors
agreeing to provide Substitute Collateral in the amount equal to the amount of the Pledged Letter
of Credit (the “Requisite Substitution Agreements”) and (ii) the Bank returns the Pledged
Letter of Credit to the Guarantor, then the Company shall have no obligation to effectuate a
BlueCrest Loan Satisfaction or a BlueCrest Loan Satisfaction and Loan Satisfaction, as applicable,
in accordance with Section 8(a).



     (d) In the event that the Company does not, within the Substitution Period, enter into the

Guarantor, the Company shall effectuate a BlueCrest Loan Satisfaction or a BlueCrest Loan
Satisfaction and Loan Satisfaction (as specified in the Repayment Election Notice) by the end of
the Substitution Period.



     (e) In the event that, in accordance with the Repayment Election Notice, (i) the Company
effectuates a BlueCrest Loan Satisfaction but not a Loan Satisfaction, (ii) the Company enters into
the Requisite Substitution Agreements and (iii) the Bank returns the Pledged Letter of Credit to
the Guarantor:



          (i) the amount of the Guarantee Fee payable by the Company under this Agreement shall be
determined by multiplying the Collateral Amount by 5.0% and multiplying the resulting amount by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed between the date hereof and the date
of the Pledged Letter of Credit is returned to the Guarantor and the denominator of which is 365;
and



9









 





          (ii) the Guarantor shall have no obligation to make any Guarantor Payments due after the end
of the Substitution Period.



     (f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company’s obligations under this Section 8 are a
material inducement for Guarantor to enter into this Agreement and provide the Bank with the
Pledged Letter of Credit and but for the Company’s agreements under this Section 8, Guarantor would
not have entered into this Agreement or provided the Bank with the Pledged Letter of Credit; and
(ii) that irreparable damage would occur to Guarantors in the event the provisions of this Section
8 are not performed in accordance with their specific terms by the Company or are otherwise
breached by the Company. Accordingly, it is agreed that Guarantor shall be entitled to an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 8 and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United
States or any state thereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law
or equity.



     (g) In the event that, during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on August
13, 2007, the Company closes an initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock generating at
least $30 million of net proceeds to the Company, the Company shall effectuate a Loan Satisfaction
