be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if
the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance
herewith). The Company shall cause each Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein. The Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause each
Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the Effectiveness Date, and shall keep each
Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is the earlier date of when (i) all Registrable Securities have been sold or (ii) all
Registrable Securities may be sold immediately without registration under the Securities Act and without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, as determined by
the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company's transfer agent and the affected Holders (the "Effectiveness Period"). 

        (b)   If:
(i) any Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the applicable Filing Date; (ii) a Registration Statement filed hereunder is not declared
effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date; (iii) after a Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission, such Registration Statement ceases to be
effective (by suspension or otherwise) as to all Registrable Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (without being succeeded
immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per year or more than 20 consecutive calendar
days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date such Registration Statement is declared effective); or (iv) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from
trading on any Trading Market (defined below) for a period of three (3) consecutive Trading Days (provided the Company shall not have been able to cure such trading suspension within
30 days of the notice thereof or list the Common Stock on any of the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, BBX Exchange, NASDAQ SmallCap Market, the Nasdaq National Market, American Stock Exchange or New
York Stock Exchange (the "Trading Market")) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an "Event," and for purposes of clause (i), (ii) or (v), the date on which such Event occurs,
or for purposes of clause (iii), the date which such 30 day or 20 consecutive day period (as the case may be) is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (iv), the date on which such
three (3) Trading Day period is exceeded, being referred to as "Event Date"), then 

2

 

until
the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2.0% for each thirty (30) day period (prorated
for partial periods) on a daily basis of the original principal amount of each applicable Note. Such liquidation damages shall be paid not less than each thirty (30) days during an Event and
within three (3) days following the date on which such Event has been cured by the Company. 

        3.    Registration Procedures.    If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions
hereof to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities under the Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible: 

        (a)   prepare
and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such securities, promptly as possible respond to any comments received from the SEC and use its
best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), and promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of all
filings and SEC letters of comment; 

        (b)   prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the registration statement and to keep such registration statement effective until the
earlier of: (i) six months after the latest exercise period of the Warrants; (ii) four years after the Closing Date; or (iii) the date on which the Purchaser has disposed of all
of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the Purchaser's intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period; 

        (c)   furnish
to the Purchaser such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as the Purchaser
reasonably may request to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement; 

        (d)   use
its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Purchaser's Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or
"blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business
as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 

        (e)   list
the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed; 

        (f)    immediately
notify the Purchaser at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event of
which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and 

        (g)   make
available for inspection by the Purchaser and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser all publicly available, non-confidential
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available,
non-confidential information reasonably requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of the Purchaser. 

        4.    Registration Expenses.    All expenses relating to the Company's compliance with
Sections 2 and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and 

3

 

disbursements
of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or "blue
sky" laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, fees of, and disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the Holders, and costs of insurance are called
"Registration Expenses". All selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders beyond those included in
Registration Expenses, are called "Selling Expenses." The Company shall be responsible for all Registration Expenses. 

5.     Indemnification. 

        (a)   In
the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the
Purchaser, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Purchaser or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the
Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Purchaser, and each such person for
any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be
liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission so made in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any such person in writing specifically for use in any such document. 

        (b)   In
the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Company or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact which was furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Purchaser to the Company expressly for use in (and such
information is contained in) the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Purchaser will be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in any such document. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any person or
entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds 

4

 

received
by the Purchaser of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act. 

        (c)   Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which
it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 5(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 5(c)
if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such
indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to
such indemnified party under this Section 5(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; if the indemnified party retains
its own counsel, then the indemnified party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and
the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties shall have the right to
select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other
expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. 

        (d)   In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Purchaser, or
any controlling person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5(c) but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court
of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this
Section 5(c) provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Purchaser or controlling person of the Purchaser
in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5(c); then, and in each such case, the Company and the Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Purchaser is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the
public offering price of its securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided, however, that, in
any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such registration
statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person
or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

        6.    Representations and Warranties.    

        (a)   The
Common Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and, since January 1, 2002, except for the Company's
Quarterly Report on From 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company has timely filed all proxy statements, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
required to be filed by it under the 

5

 

Exchange
Act. The Company has filed (i) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and (ii) its Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003 (collectively, the "SEC Reports"). Each SEC Report was, at the time of its filing, in
substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of their
respective filing dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes
thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed) and fairly present in all material respects the financial
position, the results of operations and the cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods presented in each such SEC Report (subject, in the case
of unaudited statements, to normal year-end adjustments). 

        (b)   The
Company Common Stock is listed on the American Stock Exchange and satisfies all requirements for the continuation of such listing. The Company has not received any
notice that its Common Stock will be delisted from the American Stock Exchange or that the Common Stock does not meet all requirements for the continuation of such listing. 

        (c)   Neither
the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or
solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company
for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Common Stock pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder
approval provisions; nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Registrable Securities to be integrated with other
offerings. 

        (d)   The
Registrable Securities are restricted securities under the Securities Act as of the date of this Agreement. The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or
other order impeding the sale and delivery of any of the Registrable Securities at such time as the Registrable Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from registration is
available, except as required by federal or state securities laws. 

        (e)   The
Company understands the nature of the Registrable Securities issuable upon the conversion of each Note and the exercise of each Warrant and recognizes that the
Registrable Securities may have a potential dilutive effect. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Registrable Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable
regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company. 

        (f)    Except
for agreements made in the ordinary course of business, there is no agreement that has not been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a registration statement or to
a form required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act the breach of which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, or would prohibit or otherwise
interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. 

6

 

        (g)   The
Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the full conversion of each Note and exercise of each
Warrant. 

        7.    Miscellaneous.    

        (a)    Remedies.    In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their
obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of
damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. 

        (b)    No Piggyback on Registrations.    Except as and to the extent specified in
Schedule 7(b) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration
Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing any such right for inclusion of shares in the Registration Statement
to any of its security holders. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto, the Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with
respect to any of its securities to any Person that has not been fully satisfied. 

        (c)    Compliance.    Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. 

        (d)    Discontinued Disposition.    Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable
Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation Event (defined below), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing
(the "Advice") by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph. For purposes of this
Section 7(d), a "Discontinuation Event" shall mean (i) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of such Registration Statement and whenever the
Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any
request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information;
(iii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any
Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial
statements included in such Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration
Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

7

 

        (e)    Piggy-Back Registrations.    If at any time during the Effectiveness
Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8
(each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity
securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen
(15) calendar days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable
Securities such holder requests to be registered, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and subject to the consent of any selling stockholder(s)
under such registration statement. 

        (f)    Amendments and Waivers.    The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions
of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Company
and the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates
exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to
which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence. 

        (g)    Notices.    Any notice or request hereunder may be given to the Company or Purchaser at
the respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a change of address under this Section 7(g). Any notice or request hereunder shall be given

to have been given when delivered to any officer of the party to whom it is addressed, in the case of those by mail or overnight mail, deemed to have been given when deposited in the mail or with

Exhibit 10.2    
    

 
 

SECURITY AGREEMENT    
    

        This Security Agreement is made as of August 28, 2003 by and between LAURUS MASTER FUND, LTD., a Cayman Islands corporation ("Laurus") and DIGITAL
ANGEL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). 

 
 

BACKGROUND    
    

        Company has requested that Laurus make advances available to Company; and 

        Laurus
has agreed to make such advances to Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 

 
 

AGREEMENT    
    

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and undertakings and the terms and conditions contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

        1.    (a) General Definitions.    Capitalized terms used in this
Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in Annex A. 

        (b)    Accounting Terms.    Any accounting terms used in this Agreement which are not specifically defined shall have
the meanings customarily given them in accordance with GAAP and all financial computations shall be computed, unless specifically provided herein, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. 

        (c)    Other Terms.    All other terms used in this Agreement and defined in the UCC, shall have the meaning given
therein unless otherwise defined herein. 

        (d)    Rules of Construction.    All Schedules, Addenda, Annexes and Exhibits hereto or expressly identified to this
Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and taken together with this Agreement constitute but a single agreement. The words "herein", hereof" and "hereunder" or other words of similar import
refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Exhibits, Addenda, Annexes and Schedules thereto, as the same may be from time to time amended, modified, restated or supplemented, and not to any
particular section, subsection or clause contained in this Agreement. Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or plural shall include the singular and
the plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, the feminine and the neuter. The term "or" is not exclusive. The term "including" (or any form
thereof) shall not be limiting or exclusive. All references to statutes and related regulations shall include any amendments of same and any successor statutes and regulations. All references in this
Agreement or in the Schedules, Addenda, Annexes and Exhibits to this Agreement to sections, schedules, disclosure schedules, exhibits, and attachments shall refer to the corresponding sections,
schedules, disclosure schedules, exhibits, and attachments of or to this Agreement. All references to any instruments or agreements, including references to any of this Agreement or the Ancillary
Agreements shall include any and all modifications or amendments thereto and any and all extensions or renewals thereof. 

        2.    Loans.    

        (a)   (i) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Ancillary Agreements, Laurus agrees to make loans (the "Loans") to Company from time to time
during the Term which, in the aggregate at any time outstanding, will not exceed the lesser of (x) (I) the Capital Availability Amount minus (II) such reserves as Laurus may reasonably
in its good faith judgment deem proper and necessary from time to time (the "Reserves") or (y) an amount equal to (I) the Borrowing Availability minus (II) the Reserves. The
amount derived at any time from 

 

Section 2(a)(i)(y)(I) minus
2(a)(i)(y)(II) shall be referred to as the "Formula Amount". Company shall execute and deliver to Laurus on the Closing Date a Minimum Borrowing Note
and a Revolving Note evidencing the Loans funded on the Closing Date. From time to time thereafter, Company shall execute and deliver to Laurus immediately prior to the final funding of each
additional $1,000,000 tranche of Loans (calculated on a cumulative basis for each such tranche) an additional Minimum Borrowing Note evidencing such tranche, in the form of Note delivered by Company
to Laurus on the Closing Date. 

         (ii)  Notwithstanding
the limitations set forth above, if requested by the Company, Laurus retains the right to lend to Company from time to time such amounts in excess of
such limitations as Laurus may determine in its sole discretion. 

        (iii)  Company
acknowledges that the exercise of Laurus' discretionary rights hereunder may result during the Term in one or more increases or decreases in the advance
percentages used in determining Accounts Availability and Company hereby consents to any such increases or decreases which may limit or restrict advances requested by Company. 

        (iv)  If
Company does not pay any interest, fees, costs or charges to Laurus when due, Company shall thereby be deemed to have requested, and Laurus is hereby authorized at
its discretion to make and charge to Company's account, a Loan to Company as of such date in an amount equal to such unpaid interest, fees, costs or charges. 

         (v)  If
the Company at any time fails to perform or observe any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, after any applicable notice and
opportunity to cure, Laurus may, but need not, perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the name, place and stead of Company (or, at Laurus' option, in Laurus' name) and may, but need not,
take any and all other actions which Laurus may deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of Liens, the performance of obligations owed to
Account Debtors, lessors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement of
instruments). The amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and legal expenses) incurred by Laurus in connection with or as a result of the performance or
observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by Laurus shall be charged to Company's account as a Loan and added to the Obligations. To facilitate Laurus' performance or observance of
such covenants of Company, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default beyond any applicable notice and cure period, the Company hereby irrevocably appoints Laurus, or Laurus' delegate,
acting alone, as Company's attorney in fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) with the right (but not the duty) from time to time to create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse
or file in the name and on behalf of Company any and all instruments, documents, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, applications for insurance and other agreements and writings
required to be obtained, executed delivered or endorsed by Company, but only until such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived by Laurus. 

        (vi)  Laurus
will account to Company monthly with a statement of all Loans and other advances, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and such account rendered
by Laurus shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive unless Laurus is notified by Company in writing to the contrary within fifteen (15) days of the date each account was rendered specifying
the item or items to which objection is made. 

       (vii)  During
the Term, Company may borrow, pay and re-borrow Loans in excess of the Minimum Borrowing Amount, all in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof. 

2

 

      (viii)  If
any Eligible Account is not paid by the Account Debtor within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date that such Eligible Account was invoiced or if any
Account Debtor asserts a deduction, dispute, contingency, set-off, or counterclaim with respect to any Eligible Account, Company shall immediately replace such ineligible account with an
Eligible Account or reimburse Laurus for the amount of the Loan made with respect to such Eligible Account. 

        (b)    Minimum Borrowing Amount.    After a registration statement registering the Registrable Securities has been
declared effective by the SEC, conversions of the Minimum Borrowing Amount into the Common Stock of the Company may be initiated as set forth in the Note. From and after the date upon which any
outstanding principal of the Minimum Borrowing Amount (as evidenced by the first Minimum Borrowing Note) is converted into Common Stock (the "First Conversion Date"), (i) corresponding amounts
of all outstanding Loans (not attributable to the then outstanding Minimum Borrowing Amount) existing on or made after the First Conversion Date will be aggregated until they reach the sum of
$1,000,000 and (ii) the Company will issue a new (serialized) Minimum Borrowing Note to Laurus in respect of such $1,000,000 aggregation, and (iii) the Company shall prepare and
file a subsequent registration statement with the SEC to register such subsequent Minimum Borrowing Note as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. 

        3.    Repayment of the Loans.    Company (a) may pay the Obligations in excess of the Minimum Borrowing Amount
from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Notes (and Section 16 hereof if such prepayment is due to a termination of this Agreement); and (b) shall repay on
the expiration of the Term (i) the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans made by Laurus to Company hereunder together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges and
(ii) all other amounts owed Laurus under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Any payments of principal, interest, fees or any other amounts payable hereunder or under any Ancillary
Agreement shall be made prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the due date thereof in immediately available funds. 

        4.    Procedure for Loans.    Company may by written notice request a borrowing of Loans prior to 9:30 a.m.
(New York time) on the Business Day of its request to incur, on that day, a Loan. Together with each
request for a Loan (or at such other intervals as Laurus may request), Company shall deliver to Laurus a Borrowing Base Certificate in the form of Exhibit A, which shall be certified as true
and correct by the President or Chief Financial Officer of Company together with all supporting documentation relating thereto. All Loans shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Laurus
may designate from time to time and shall be charged to Company's account on Laurus' books. The proceeds of each Loan made by Laurus shall be made available to Company on the Business Day so requested
in accordance with the terms of this Section 4 by way of credit to Company's operating account maintained with such bank as Company designated to Laurus. Any and all Obligations due and owing
hereunder may be charged to Company's account and shall constitute Loans. 

        5.    Interest and Payments.    

        (a)    Interest.    

          (i)  Except
as modified by Section 5(a)(iii) below, from and after the date hereof, the Company shall pay interest at the Contract Rate on the unpaid principal
balance of each Loan until such time as such Loan is collected in full in good funds in dollars of the United States of America; such interest payments shall be due and payable on the first Business
Day of each month during the Term and each Renewal Term, if any 

3

 

         (ii)  Interest
and payments shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days. At Laurus' option, if not otherwise paid by the Company,
Laurus may charge Company account for interest payments due hereunder. 

        (iii)  Effective
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the Contract Rate shall automatically be increased
by five percent (5%) per annum (such increased rate, the "Default Rate"), and all outstanding Obligations, including unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of
Default at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations. 

        (iv)  In
no event shall the aggregate interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, as in effect from time to time (the
"Maximum Legal Rate") and if any provision of this Agreement or Ancillary Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, interest payable under this Agreement and each Ancillary
Agreement shall be computed on the basis of the Maximum Legal Rate (so that such interest will not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate). 

         (v)  Company
shall pay principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any Ancillary Agreement, without any deduction whatsoever, including any
deduction for any set-off or counterclaim. 

        (b)    Payments.    

        (i)    Closing/Annual Payments.    Upon execution of this Agreement by Company and Laurus, Company shall pay to Laurus
Capital Management, LLC a closing payment in an amount equal to three and one half percent (3.5%) of the Capital Availability Amount. On each anniversary of the Closing Date, Company shall pay to
Laurus Capital Management, LLC an annual payment equal to one quarter percent (.25%) of the Capital Availability Amount. Such payments shall be deemed fully earned on the Closing Date and shall not be
subject to rebate or proration for any reason. 

        (ii)    Overadvance Payment.    Without affecting Laurus' rights hereunder in the event the Loans exceed the amounts
permitted by Section 2 ("Overadvances"), in the event an Overadvance occurs all such Overadvances shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to five percent (5%) in excess of the then
applicable Contract Amount for each month or portion thereof as such amounts shall be outstanding. 

        (iii)    Unused Line Payment.    If, for any month, the average outstanding Revolving Credit Advances (the "Average
Revolving Amount") are less than the Capital Availability Amount, the Company shall pay to Laurus at the end of such month a payment (calculated on a per annum basis) in an amount equal to one half
percent (0.50%) per annum of the amount by which the Capital Availability Amount exceeds the Average Revolving Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any unpaid fees shall be immediately due and
payable upon termination of this Agreement. 

        (iv)    Financial Information Default.    Without affecting Laurus' other rights and remedies, in the event Company
fails to deliver the financial information required by Section 11 on or before the date required by this Agreement, Company shall pay Laurus a fee in the amount of $500.00 per week (or portion
thereof) for each such failure until such failure is cured to Laurus' satisfaction or waived in writing by Laurus. Such fee shall be charged to Company's account upon the occurrence of each such
failure. 

        6.    Security Interest.    

        (a)   To
secure the prompt payment to Laurus of the Obligations, Company hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Laurus a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of
the Collateral.

All
of Company's Books and Records relating to the Collateral shall, until delivered to or removed by Laurus, be kept by Company in trust for Laurus until all Obligations have been paid in full. Each
confirmatory assignment schedule or other form of assignment hereafter executed by Company shall be deemed to include the foregoing grant, whether or not the same appears therein. 

        (b)   Company
hereby (i) authorizes Laurus to file any financing statements, continuation statements or amendments thereto that (x) indicate the Collateral
(1) as all assets of Company (or any portion of Company's assets) or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of
Article 9 of the UCC of such jurisdiction, or (2) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (y) contain any other information required by Part 5 of
Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment and (ii) ratifies its authorization for Laurus to
have filed any initial financial statements, or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. Company acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or
termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior written consent of Laurus and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of Laurus, subject to
Company's rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC. 

        (c)   Company
hereby grants to Laurus an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable upon the termination of this Agreement due to an occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default without payment of royalty or other compensation to Company) to use, transfer, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned, licensed to, or hereafter
acquired by Company, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer and
automatic machinery software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, and represents, promises and agrees that any such license or sublicense is not and will not be in conflict with
the contractual or commercial rights of any third Person; provided, that such license will terminate on the termination of this agreement and the payment in full of all Obligations. 

        7.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants Concerning the Collateral.    Company represents, warrants (each of
which such representations and warranties shall be deemed repeated upon the making of each request for a Loan and made as of the time of each and every Loan hereunder) and covenants as follows:

Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement, upon completion of the filings and other actions listed on  Exhibit 7(c) (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to in said Exhibit,
have been delivered to Laurus in duly executed
form) constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of Laurus as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations, enforceable in
accordance with the terms hereof against any and all creditors of and any purchasers from Company and such security interest is prior to all other Liens in existence on the date hereof. 

5

 

        (d)   No
effective security agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, financing statement, equivalent security or Lien instrument or continuation statement covering all or any part

        (f)    Company
is solvent, able to pay its debts as they mature, has capital sufficient to carry on its business and all businesses in which Company is about to engage and the
fair saleable value of its assets (calculated on a going concern basis) is in excess of the amount of its liabilities. 

        (g)   There
is no pending or threatened litigation, court order, judgment, writ, suit, action or proceeding which involves the possibility of having a Material Adverse Effect. 

        (h)   All
balance sheets and income statements which have been delivered to Laurus fairly, accurately and properly state Company's financial condition on a basis consistent
with that of previous financial statements and there has been no material adverse change in Company's financial condition as reflected in such statements since the balance sheet date of the statements

        (i)    Company
possesses all of the licenses and Intellectual Property necessary to conduct its business. There has been no assertion or claim of violation or infringement with
respect to any Intellectual Property. Exhibit 12(i) sets forth all Intellectual Property of Company. 

        (j)    Neither
this Agreement, the exhibits and schedules hereto, the Ancillary Agreements nor any other document delivered by Company to Laurus or its attorneys or agents in
connection herewith or therewith or with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, contain any untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading. The issuance of the Notes and the Warrants and the shares of common stock issued upon
conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and will have been registered
or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws. Neither Company nor any of its
Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in
connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. 

        (k)   The
common stock of Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and since January 1, 2002, and except for the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company has timely filed all proxy statements, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act. Company has furnished Laurus with copies of (i) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002 and (ii) its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, (the "SEC Reports"). Each
SEC Report was, at the time of its filing, in substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form, and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto)
included in the SEC Reports, as of their respective filing dates, contained any untrue 

10

 

statement
of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. The financial statements of Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the
periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may
not include footnotes or may be condensed) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the dates thereof and the
results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
year-end audit adjustments). 

        (l)    Company's
common stock is listed on the American Stock Exchange and satisfies all requirements for the continuation of such listing. Company has not received any notice
that its common stock will be delisted from the American Stock Exchange or that its common stock does not meet all requirements for the continuation of such listing. 

        (m)  Neither
Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or
solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities under the Ancillary Agreements (the "Securities") to be integrated with prior offerings by
Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder
approval provisions;nor will Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings. 

        (n)   The
Securities are restricted securities under the Securities Act as of the date of this Agreement. Company will not issue any stop transfer order or other order
impeding the sale and delivery of any of the Securities at such time as the Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from registration is available, except as required by federal or
state securities laws. 

        (o)   Company
understands the nature of the Securities issuable under the Ancillary Agreements and recognizes that they may have a potential dilutive effect. Company
specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants is binding upon Company and enforceable regardless of the
dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of Company. 

        (p)   Except
for agreements made in the ordinary course of business which the Company is not required to file with the SEC, there is no agreement that has not been filed with
the SEC as an exhibit to a registration statement or other applicable form that the Company is required to file with the SEC, the breach of which duty could have a material and adverse effect on the
Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Registration
Rights Agreement executed by Company in favor of Laurus in any material respect.

and to keep and store the same on said premises until sold (and if said premises be the property of Company, Company agrees not to charge Laurus for storage thereof), and the right to apply for the
appointment of a receiver for Company's property. Further, Laurus may, at any time or times after the occurrence of an Event of Default, sell and deliver all Collateral held by or for Laurus at public
or private sale for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as Laurus, in Laurus' sole discretion, deems advisable or Laurus may otherwise recover upon the Collateral in any
commercially reasonable manner as Laurus, in its sole discretion, deems advisable. The requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed postage prepaid to Company at Company's
address as shown in Laurus' records, at least ten (10) days before the time of the event of which notice is being given. Laurus may be the purchaser at any sale, if it is public. In connection
with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, Laurus is granted permission to use all of Company's trademarks, tradenames, tradestyles, patents, patent applications, licenses, franchises and other
proprietary rights. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of sale, including attorneys' fees, and second to the payment (in whatever order Laurus elects) of all
Obligations. After the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations, and after the payment by Laurus of any other amount required by any provision of law, including
Section 608(a)(1) of the Code (but only after Laurus has received what Laurus considers reasonable proof of a subordinate party's security interest), the surplus, if any, shall be paid to
Company or its representatives or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Company shall remain liable to Laurus for any
deficiency. In addition, Company shall pay Laurus a liquidation fee ("Liquidation Fee") in the amount of five percent (5%) of the face amount of each Account outstanding at any time during a
"liquidation period", but in no event shall the aggregate Liquidation 

16

 

Fee
payable hereunder be more than fifteen percent (15%) of all Accounts outstanding on the first day of the liquidation period. For purposes hereof, "liquidation period" means a period:
(i) beginning on the earliest date of (x) an event referred to in Section 18(i) or 18(j), or (y) the cessation of Company's business; and (ii) ending on the
date on which Laurus has actually received all Obligations due and owing it under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. The Liquidation Fee shall be paid on the earlier to occur of:
(i) the date on which Laurus collects the applicable Account; and (ii) the 90th day from the invoice of such Account by deduction from any amount otherwise due from Laurus to Company
directly, at the option of Laurus. Company and Laurus acknowledge that the actual damages that would be incurred by Laurus after the occurrence of an Event of Default would be difficult to quantity
and that Company and Laurus have agreed that the fees and obligations set forth in this Section and in this Agreement would constitute fair and appropriate liquidated damages in the event of any such
termination. 

        20.    Waivers.    To the full extent permitted by applicable law, Company waives (a) presentment, demand and
protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all of this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or any other notes, commercial paper, Accounts, contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties at any time held by Laurus on which Company may
in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Laurus may do in this regard; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Laurus' taking possession or control of, or to
Laurus' replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing Laurus to exercise any of its remedies; and (c) the
benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws. Company acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements
and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby. 

        21.    Expenses.    Company shall pay all of Laurus' reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of in-house or outside counsel in an aggregate amount not to exceed $22,000 and due diligence examiners and appraisers in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $17,500, in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and in connection with the prosecution or defense of any
action, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding concerning any matter in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Company shall also pay all of
Laurus' reasonable fees, charges, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel and appraisers, in connection with (a) the preparation,
execution and delivery of any waiver, any amendment thereto or consent proposed or executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements,
(b) Laurus' obtaining performance of the Obligations under this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreements, including, but not limited to, the enforcement or defense of Laurus' security interests,
assignments of rights and Liens hereunder as valid perfected security interests, (c) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral,
(d) any appraisals or re-appraisals of any property (real or personal) pledged to Laurus by Company as Collateral for, or any other Person as security for, Company's Obligations
hereunder and (e) any consultations in connection with any of the foregoing. Company shall also pay Laurus' customary bank charges for all bank services (including wire transfers) performed or
caused to be performed by Laurus for Company at Company's request or in connection with Company's loan account with Laurus. All such costs and expenses together with all filing, recording and search
fees, taxes and interest payable by Company to Laurus shall be payable on demand and shall be secured by the Collateral. If any tax by any Governmental Authority is or may be imposed on or as a result
of any transaction between Company and Laurus which Laurus is or may be required to withhold or pay, Company agrees to indemnify and hold Laurus harmless in respect of such taxes, and Company will
repay to Laurus the amount of any such taxes which shall be charged to Company's account; and until Company shall furnish Laurus with indemnity therefor (or supply Laurus with evidence satisfactory to
it that due 

17

 

provision
for the payment thereof has been made), Laurus may hold without interest any balance standing to Company's credit and Laurus shall retain its Liens in any and all Collateral. 

        22.    No Shorting.    Neither Laurus nor any of its Affiliates nor investment partners shall cause any Person or
entity to directly or indirectly engage in "short sales" or other hedging strategies of the Company's Common Stock as long as any Note is outstanding. 

        23.    Assignment By Laurus.    Laurus may assign any or all of the Obligations together with any or all of the
security therefor and any transferee shall succeed to all of Laurus' rights with respect thereto. Upon such transfer and assumption in full by transferee of all of Laurus' responsibilities hereunder,
Laurus shall be released from all responsibility for the Collateral to the extent same is assigned to and assumed by any transferee. Laurus may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations
in any of the Obligations and the holder of any such participation shall, subject to the terms of any agreement between Laurus and such holder, be entitled to the same benefits as Laurus with respect
to any security for the Obligations in which such holder is a participant. Company agrees that each such holder may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, set-off and counterclaim
with respect to its participation in the Obligations as fully as though Company were directly indebted to such holder in the amount of such participation. 

        24.    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.    Failure by Laurus to exercise any right, remedy or option under this
Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any supplement hereto or thereto or any other agreement between Company and Laurus or delay by Laurus in exercising the same, will not operate as a waiver; no
waiver by Laurus will be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. Laurus' rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will be
cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which Laurus may have. 

        25.    Application of Payments.    Company irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all
payments at any time or times hereafter received by Laurus from or on Company's behalf and Company hereby irrevocably agrees that Laurus shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply
any and all payments received at any time or times hereafter against the Obligations hereunder in such manner as Laurus may deem advisable notwithstanding any entry by Laurus upon any of Laurus' books
and records. 

        26.    Indemnity.    Company agrees to indemnify and hold Laurus, and its respective affiliates, employees, attorneys
and agents (each, an "Indemnified Person"), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including attorneys' fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) which may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such
Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or with respect to the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of, or in any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, except to the extent that any such indemnified liability is finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO COMPANY OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY OR
TO ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE
ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR
THEREUNDER. 

18

   
        27.    Revival.    Company further agrees that to the extent Company makes a payment or payments to Laurus, which
payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under
any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made. 

        28.    Notices.    Any notice or request hereunder may be given to Company or Laurus at the respective addresses set
forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a change of address under this Section. Any notice or request hereunder shall be given by registered or certified mail, return
