2.2 Possession and Transfer of Collateral. Until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantor shall be entitled to possession and use of the Collateral (other than Instruments or Documents (including Tangible Chattel Paper and Investment Property consisting of certificated securities) and other Collateral required to be delivered to Secured Party pursuant to this Section 2). The cancellation or surrender of any promissory note evidencing an Obligation, upon payment or otherwise, shall not affect the right of Secured Party to retain the Collateral for any other of the Obligations except upon payment in full of the Obligations.

Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party at any time, and from time to time, to file in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral is comprised of all assets of Grantor (or words of similar effect), regardless of whether any particular asset comprising a part of the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed, and (b) contain any other information required by Section 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed regarding the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether Grantor is an organization, the type of organization, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of the real property to which the Collateral relates.

2.4 Preservation of the Collateral. Secured Party may, but is not required to, take such actions from time to time as Secured Party reasonably deems appropriate to maintain or protect the Collateral. Secured Party shall have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Secured Party takes such action as Grantor shall reasonably request in writing which is not inconsistent with Secured Party's status as a secured party, but the failure of Secured Party to comply with any such request shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care; provided, however, Secured Party's responsibility for the safekeeping of the Collateral shall (i) be deemed reasonable if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property, and (ii) not extend to matters beyond the control of Secured Party, including acts of God, war, insurrection, riot or governmental actions. In addition, any failure of Secured Party to preserve or protect any rights with respect to the Collateral against prior or third parties, or to do any act with respect to preservation of the Collateral, not so requested by Grantor, shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral. Grantor shall have the sole responsibility for taking such action as may be necessary, from time to time, to preserve all rights of Grantor and Secured Party in the applicable Collateral against prior or third parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where Collateral consists in whole or in part of Capital Securities, Grantor represents to, and covenants with, Secured Party that Grantor has made arrangements for keeping informed of changes or potential changes affecting the Capital Securities (including rights to convert or subscribe, payment of dividends, reorganization or other exchanges, tender offers and voting rights), and Grantor agrees that Secured Party shall have no responsibility or liability for informing Grantor of any such or other changes or potential changes or for taking any action or omitting to take any action with respect thereto.

 

2.5 Other Actions as to any and all Collateral. Grantor further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by Secured Party to ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of Secured Party to enforce, the security interest of Secured Party in any and all of the Collateral including (a) causing Secured Party’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Secured Party to enforce, the security interest of Secured Party in such Collateral, (b) if within the control of the Grantor, complying with, and, if not within the control of the Grantor, using best efforts to comply with, any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any material portion of the Collateral as soon as possible but not more than forty-five (45) days after such request if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Secured Party to enforce, the security interest of Secured Party in such Collateral, (c) using best efforts to obtain governmental and other third party consents and approvals, including without limitation any consent of any licensor, lessor or other Person with authority or control over or an interest in any material portion of the Collateral as soon as possible but not more than forty-five (45) days after such request, (d) using best efforts to obtain waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party which affect any material portion of the Collateral as soon as possible but not more than forty-five (45) days after such request, and (e) taking all actions required by the UCC in effect from time to time or by other law, as applicable in any relevant UCC jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction. Grantor further agrees to indemnify and hold Secured Party harmless against claims of any Persons not a party to this Security Agreement concerning disputes arising over the Collateral except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party or its Affiliates.

 

2.6 Collateral in the Possession of a Warehouseman or Bailee. If any material portion of the Collateral at any time is in the possession of a warehouseman or bailee, Grantor shall promptly notify Secured Party thereof, and, as soon as possible but not more than forty-five (45) days later, shall use best efforts to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party from such warehouseman or bailee.

2.7 Letter-of-Credit Rights. If Grantor at any time is a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of Grantor, Grantor shall promptly notify Secured Party thereof and, at the request and option of Secured Party, Grantor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to Secured Party of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit, or (ii) arrange for Secured Party to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with Secured Party agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter to credit are to be applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

 

2.8 Commercial Tort Claims. If Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim, Grantor shall promptly notify Secured Party in writing signed by Grantor of the details thereof and grant to Secured Party in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Security Agreement, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, and shall execute any amendments hereto deemed reasonably necessary by Secured Party to perfect the security interest of Secured Party in such Commercial Tort Claim.

 

2.9 Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record”, as that term is defined in Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, Grantor shall promptly notify Secured Party thereof and, at the request of Secured Party, shall take such action as Secured Party may reasonably request to vest in Secured Party control under Section 9-105 of the UCC of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. Secured Party agrees with Grantor that Secured Party will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party and so long as such procedures will not result in Secured Party's loss of control, for Grantor to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to make without loss of control.

Section 4 REMEDIES.

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Secured Party shall have all rights, powers and remedies set forth in this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in any other written agreement or instrument relating to any of the Obligations or any security therefor, as a secured party under the UCC or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party may, at its option upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, declare its commitments to Grantor to be terminated and all Obligations to be immediately due and payable, or, if provided in the Loan Documents, all commitments of Secured Party to Grantor shall immediately terminate and all Obligations shall be automatically due and payable, all without demand, notice or further action of any kind required on the part of Secured Party, except as required by the Credit Agreement. Grantor hereby waives any and all presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices and demands, except as required by the Credit Agreement, in connection with the enforcement of Secured Party's rights under the Loan Documents, and hereby consents to, and waives notice of release, with or without consideration, of any Collateral, notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary. In addition to the foregoing upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

 

4.1 Possession and Assembly of Collateral. Secured Party may, without notice, demand or initiate legal process of any kind, take possession of any or all of the Collateral (in addition to Collateral of which Secured Party already has possession), wherever it may be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may at any time enter into any of Grantor's premises where any of the Collateral may be or is supposed to be, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of and Secured Party shall have the right to store and conduct a sale of the same in any of Grantor's premises without cost to Secured Party. At Secured Party's request, Grantor will, at Grantor’s sole expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place or places to be designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to Secured Party and Grantor.

 

  

8

  

 

4.2 Sale of Collateral. Secured Party may sell any or all of the Collateral at public or private sale, upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may deem proper, and Secured Party may purchase any or all of the Collateral at any such sale. Grantor acknowledges that Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of all or any portion of the Collateral because of certain legal and/or practical restrictions and provisions which may be applicable to the Collateral and, therefore, may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of offerees and purchasers. Grantor consents to any such private sale so made even though at places and upon terms less favorable than if the Collateral were sold at public sale. Secured Party shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. Secured Party may apply the net proceeds, after deducting all costs, expenses, attorneys' and paralegals' fees incurred or paid at any time in the collection, protection and sale of the Collateral and the Obligations, to the payment of the Obligations, returning the excess proceeds, if any, to Grantor. Grantor shall remain liable for any amount remaining unpaid after such application, with interest at the Default Rate. Any notification of intended disposition of the Collateral required by law shall be conclusively deemed reasonably and properly given if given by Secured Party at least ten (10) calendar days before the date of such disposition. Grantor hereby confirms, approves and ratifies all acts and deeds of Secured Party relating to the foregoing, and each part thereof, and expressly waives any and all claims of any nature, kind or description which it has or may hereafter have against Secured Party or its representatives, by reason of taking, selling or collecting any portion of the Collateral other than in the event of any intentional misconduct or gross negligence. Grantor consents to releases of the Collateral at any time (including prior to default) and to sales of the Collateral in groups, parcels or portions, or as an entirety, as Secured Party shall deem appropriate. Grantor expressly absolves Secured Party from any loss or decline in market value of any Collateral by reason of delay in the enforcement or assertion or non-enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Security Agreement.

 

4.3 Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party (a) to incur expenses deemed necessary by Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Grantors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Grantors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, including any warranties of title, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would not be commercially unreasonable in Secured Party's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to Grantor or to impose any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

4.4 UCC and Offset Rights. Secured Party may exercise, from time to time, any and all rights and remedies available to it under the UCC or under any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Security Agreement or in any other agreements between any Obligor and Secured Party, and may, without demand or notice of any kind, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, including costs of collection and attorneys' and paralegals' fees and costs, and in such order of application as Secured Party may, from time to time, elect, any indebtedness of Secured Party to any Obligor, however created or arising, including balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Obligor in the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to Secured Party. Grantor, on behalf of itself and any Obligor, hereby waives the benefit of any law that would otherwise restrict or limit Secured Party in the exercise of its right, which is hereby acknowledged, to appropriate at any time hereafter any such indebtedness owing from Secured Party to any Obligor.

 

4.5 Additional Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right and power to:

 

(a) instruct Grantor, at its own expense, to notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including any Account Grantors, to make payment directly to Secured Party of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, or Secured Party may directly notify such obligors of the security interest of Secured Party, and/or of the assignment to Secured Party of the Collateral and direct such obligors to make payment to Secured Party of any amounts due or to become due with respect thereto, and thereafter, collect any such amounts due on the Collateral directly from such Persons obligated thereon;

 

(b) enforce collection of any of the Collateral, including any Accounts, by suit or otherwise, or make any compromise or settlement with respect to any of the Collateral, or surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder;

 

(c) take possession or control of any proceeds and products of any of the Collateral, including the proceeds of insurance thereon;

 

(d) extend, renew or modify for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) the Obligations or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to the Obligations;

 

(e) grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to the Obligations, any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or to any other obligor with respect to the Obligations;

 

  

10

  

 

(f) transfer the whole or any part of Capital Securities which may constitute Collateral into the name of Secured Party or Secured Party's nominee without disclosing, if Secured Party so desires, that such Capital Securities so transferred are subject to the security interest of Secured Party, and any corporation, association, or any of the managers or trustees of any trust issuing any of such Capital Securities, or any transfer agent, shall not be bound to inquire, in the event that Secured Party or such nominee makes any further transfer of such Capital Securities, or any portion thereof, as to whether Secured Party or such nominee has the right to make such further transfer, and shall not be liable for transferring the same;

 

(g) vote the Collateral;

(i) at any time, and from time to time, accept additions to, releases, reductions, exchanges or substitution of the Collateral, without in any way altering, impairing, diminishing or affecting the provisions of this Security Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any of the other Obligations, or Secured Party's rights hereunder, under the Obligations.

 

Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Secured Party may do with respect to the Collateral and agrees that Secured Party shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law with respect to actions taken in connection with the Collateral other than as a result of intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

 

4.6 Attorney-in-Fact. Grantor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Secured Party (and any officer of Secured Party or any Person designated by Secured Party for that purpose) as Grantor's true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (and agent-in-fact) in Grantor's name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, to (i) take such actions as are permitted in this Security Agreement, (ii) execute such financing statements and other documents and to do such other acts as Secured Party may require to perfect and preserve Secured Party's security interest in, and to enforce such interests in the Collateral, and (iii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, carry out any remedy provided for in this Security Agreement, including endorsing Grantor's name to checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment, and proceeds of the Collateral, executing change of address forms with the postmaster of the United States Post Office serving the address of Grantor, changing the address of Grantor to that of Secured Party, opening all envelopes addressed to Grantor and applying any payments contained therein to the Obligations.

Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms all that such attorney-in-fact may do or cause to be done by virtue of any provision of this Security Agreement.

4.7 No Marshaling. Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including this Security Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. To the extent that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party's rights under this Security Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

 

4.8 No Waiver. No Event of Default shall be waived by Secured Party except in writing. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the exercise of the same or any other right at any other time; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. There shall be no obligation on the part of Secured Party to exercise any remedy available to Secured Party in any order. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity. Grantor agrees that in the event that Grantor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations or liabilities under this Security Agreement or any other agreements with Secured Party, no remedy of law will provide adequate relief to Secured Party, and further agrees that Secured Party shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

 

4.9  Application of Proceeds. Secured Party will within three (3) Business Days after receipt of cash or solvent credits from collection of items of payment, proceeds of Collateral or any other source, apply the whole or any part thereof against the Obligations secured hereby. Secured Party shall further have the exclusive right to determine how, when and what application of such payments and such credits shall be made on the Obligations, and such determination shall be conclusive upon Grantor. Any proceeds of any disposition by Secured Party of all or any part of the Collateral may be first applied by Secured Party to the payment of expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses and costs as provided for in Section 5.13 hereof.

5.2 Amendments; Waivers. No delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Secured Party of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and acknowledged by Secured Party, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 

5.3 WAIVER OF DEFENSES. GRANTOR WAIVES EVERY PRESENT AND FUTURE DEFENSE, CAUSE OF ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR SETOFF WHICH GRANTOR MAY NOW HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO ANY ACTION BY SECURED PARTY IN ENFORCING THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.

GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT HAVING ITS SITUS IN SAID COUNTY, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS. GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND CONSENT THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO THE GRANTOR, AS APPLICABLE, AS SET FORTH HEREIN IN THE MANNER PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OF COURT OR OTHERWISE.

THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR SECURED PARTY GRANTING ANY FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATION TO GRANTOR.

 

5.6 Assignability. Secured Party, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and with the consent of Grantor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default without consent from or notice to anyone, may at any time assign Secured Party's rights in this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Obligations, or any part thereof and transfer Secured Party's rights in any or all of the Collateral, and Secured Party thereafter shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such Collateral. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon Secured Party and Grantor and its respective legal representatives and successors. All references herein to Grantor shall be deemed to include any successors, whether immediate or remote. In the case of a joint venture or partnership, the term “Grantor” shall be deemed to include all joint venturers or partners thereof, who shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.

 

5.7 Binding Effect. This Security Agreement shall become effective upon execution by Grantor and Secured Party.

5.11 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Security Agreement. Receipt of an executed signature page to this Security Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute effective delivery thereof. Electronic records of executed Loan Documents maintained by Secured Party shall be deemed to be originals thereof.

 

5.12 Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, Grantor waives all notices and demands in connection with the enforcement of Secured Party's rights hereunder.

5.14 Termination. This Security Agreement and the Liens and security interests granted hereunder shall not terminate until the termination of the Credit Agreement and the commitments to make Loans thereunder and the full and complete performance and satisfaction and payment in full of all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).

5.15 Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.

EXHIBIT 10.7

 

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT is dated as of February 28, 2013 (as amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), and is made by PHARMAGEN DISTRIBUTION, LLC, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and formerly known as Healthcare Distribution Specialists, LLC (the “Guarantor”), in favor of TCA GLOBAL CREDIT MASTER FUND, LP, a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Lender”).

 

WHEREAS, Pharmagen, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada (“Borrower”), has entered into a senior secured credit facility agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Guarantor and certain other subsidiaries of the Borrower, and the Lender, pursuant to which the Lender has agreed to advance an aggregate principal amount of up to Two Million and No/100 United States Dollars (US$2,000,000) (the “Loan”) to the Borrower, which Loan shall be further evidenced by a convertible promissory note given by the Borrower in favor of Lender (as may be amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Note”); and

 

WHEREAS, in order to induce Lender to make the Loan, and with full knowledge that Lender would not make the Loan without this Guaranty, Guarantor has agreed to execute and deliver this Guaranty to Lender, for the benefit of Lender, as security for the Liabilities and Obligations; and

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Borrower and will substantially benefit from Lender’s Loan to Borrower;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties each intending to be legally bound, hereby do agree as follows:

 

1. LIABILITIES GUARANTEED

 

Guarantor hereby guarantees and becomes surety to Lender for the full, prompt and unconditional payment of the Liabilities and payment and performance of the Obligations, when and as the same shall become due, whether at the stated maturity date, by acceleration or otherwise, and the full, prompt and unconditional performance of each term and condition to be performed by Borrower under the Note and the other Loan Documents. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of Guarantor and shall be a continuing inexhaustible Guaranty. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Lender may require Guarantor to pay and perform its liabilities and obligations under this Guaranty and may proceed immediately against Guarantor without being required to bring any proceeding or take any action against Borrower or any other Person prior thereto; the liability of Guarantor hereunder being independent of and separate from the liability of Borrower, any other guarantor, any other Person, and the availability of other collateral security for the Note and the other Loan Documents.

2. DEFINITIONS

 

All capitalized terms used in this Guaranty that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement, unless the context of this Guaranty requires otherwise.

 

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

 

3.1. Organization, Powers. Guarantor: (i) is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; (ii) has the power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as now contemplated; and (iii) has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform (and the officer or manager executing this Guaranty on behalf of Guarantor has been duly authorized to so act and execute this Guaranty on behalf of the Guarantor), and by all necessary action has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of, all of its obligations under this Guaranty and any other Loan Documents to which it is a party.

 

3.2. Execution of Guaranty. This Guaranty, and each other Loan Document to which Guarantor is a party, have been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor. Execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which Guarantor is a party will not: (i) violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation, any judgment, order, writ, decree or other instrument of any governmental authority, or any provision of any contract or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or any of its properties or assets are bound; (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any nature, other than the liens created by the Loan Documents; and (iii) require any consent from, exemption of, or filing or registration with, any governmental authority or any other Person, other than any filings in connection with the liens created by the Loan Documents.

 

3.3. Obligations of Guarantor. This Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which Guarantor is a party are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with their terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles which may affect the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies. The making of the Loan by Lender to Borrower and the assumption by Guarantor of its obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document to which Guarantor is a party will result in material benefits to Guarantor. This Guaranty was entered into by Guarantor for commercial purposes.

 

3.4. Litigation. There is no demand, claim, suit, action, litigation, investigation, audit, study, arbitration, administrative hearing, or any other proceeding of any nature whatsoever at law or in equity or by or before any governmental authority now pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened, against or affecting Guarantor or any of its properties, assets or rights which, if adversely determined, would materially impair or affect: (i) the value of any collateral securing the Liabilities; (ii) Guarantor’s right to carry on its business substantially as now conducted (and as now contemplated); (iii) Guarantor’s financial condition; or (iv) Guarantor’s capacity to consummate and perform its obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which Guarantor is a party.

 

  

2

  

 

3.5. No Defaults. Guarantor is not in default beyond the expiration of any applicable grace or cure periods, in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained herein or in any contract or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or any of its properties or assets are bound.

 

3.6. No Untrue Statements. To the knowledge of Guarantor, no Loan Document or other document, certificate or statement furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein not misleading. Guarantor acknowledges that all such statements, representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender as an inducement to make the Loan.

 

4. NO LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

4.1. Guarantor acknowledges that the obligations undertaken herein involve the guaranty of obligations of a Person other than Guarantor and, in full recognition of that fact, Guarantor consents and agrees that Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness of this Guaranty: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment of (including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of the Liabilities or the interest rate), and/or change or extend the time for payment of, or renew, supplement or modify, any of the Liabilities, any security therefor, or any of the Loan Documents evidencing same, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the Liabilities and the Loan Documents as so changed, extended, renewed, supplemented or modified; (ii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order, any property securing the Liabilities; (iii) supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval, waiver or consent with respect to, any of the Liabilities, or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents, or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder; (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower or other Persons (including Guarantor) or against any security for the Liabilities; (v) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Liabilities, or any part thereof; (vi) accept partial payments on the Liabilities; (vii) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Liabilities, or any part thereof; (viii) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and/or enforce any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine; (ix) add, release, settle, modify or discharge the obligation of any maker, endorser, guarantor, surety, obligor or any other Person who is in any way obligated for any of the Liabilities, or any part thereof; (x) settle or compromise any Liabilities, whether in a Proceeding or not, and whether voluntarily or involuntarily, dispose of any security therefor (with or without consideration and in whatever manner Lender deems appropriate), and subordinate the payment of any of the Liabilities, whether or not due, to the payment of liabilities owing to creditors of Borrower other than Lender and Guarantor; (xi) consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the Liabilities, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of Guarantor or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the Liabilities; (xii) apply any sums it receives, by whomever paid or however realized, to any of the Liabilities and/or (xiii) take any other action which might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any other Person (including Guarantor) in respect of the Liabilities.

 

  

3

  

 

4.2. The invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Liabilities or any Loan Document, or the impairment or loss of any security therefor, whether caused by any action or inaction of Lender, or otherwise, shall not affect, impair or be a defense to Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty.

 

4.3. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may enforce this Guaranty independently of any other remedy, guaranty or security Lender at any time may have or hold in connection with the Liabilities, and it shall not be necessary for Lender to marshal assets in favor of Borrower, any other guarantor of the Liabilities or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Guaranty. Guarantor expressly waives any right to require Lender to marshal assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or to proceed against Borrower or any other guarantor of the Liabilities or any collateral provided by any Person, and agrees that Lender may proceed against any obligor (including Guarantor) and/or the collateral in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender may file a separate action or actions against Guarantor, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor agrees that Lender and Borrower may deal with each other in connection with the Liabilities or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Guaranty.

 

4.4. Guarantor expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all defenses which Guarantor shall or may have as of the date hereof arising or asserted by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of Borrower, or any other guarantor for the Liabilities, with respect to the Liabilities; (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security for or guaranty of the Liabilities or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Liabilities; (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower, or any other guarantor of the Liabilities (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Liabilities (other than contingent indemnification obligations)); (iv) any failure of Lender to marshal assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person; (v) any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of collateral to Borrower or any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of collateral; (vi) any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Liabilities, including, without limitation, any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Liabilities; (vii) any act or omission of Lender or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Borrower or any other guarantor of the Liabilities, or of any security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise; (viii) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount or in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; (ix) any failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person; (x) the election by Lender, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xi) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xii) any use of collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xiii) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person; (xiv) the avoidance of any lien or security interest in favor of Lender for any reason; (xv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including without limitation any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Liabilities (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding; or (xvi) any action taken by Lender that is authorized by this Section or any other provision of any Loan Document. Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Liabilities, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Liabilities.

4.5. This is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect as to all of the Liabilities until such date as all amounts owing by Borrower to Lender shall have been paid in full in cash and all obligations of Borrower with respect to any of the Liabilities shall have terminated or expired (other than contingent indemnification obligations) (such date is referred to herein as the “Termination Date”).

 

5. LIMITATION ON SUBROGATION

 

Until the Termination Date, Guarantor waives any present or future right to which Guarantor is or may become entitled to be subrogated to Lender’s rights against Borrower or to seek contribution, reimbursement, indemnification, payment or the like, or participation in any claim, right or remedy of Lender against Borrower or any security which Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises under contract, in equity, by statute, under common law or otherwise. If, notwithstanding such waiver, any funds or property shall be paid or transferred to Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, or indemnification at any time when all of the Liabilities have not been paid in full, Guarantor shall hold such funds or property in trust for Lender and shall forthwith pay over to Lender such funds and/or property to be applied by Lender to the Liabilities.

6.2. Subordination of Other Debts. Guarantor hereby: (a) subordinates the obligations now or hereafter owed by Borrower to Guarantor (“Subordinated Debt”) to any and all obligations of Borrower to Lender now or hereafter existing while this Guaranty is in effect, and hereby agrees that Guarantor will not request or accept payment of or any security for any part of the Subordinated Debt, and any proceeds of the Subordinated Debt paid to Guarantor, through error or otherwise, shall immediately be forwarded to Lender by Guarantor, properly endorsed to the order of Lender, to apply to the Liabilities.

8.1.2. To the extent not prohibited by and in addition to any other remedy provided by law or equity, setoff against any of the Liabilities any sum owed by Lender in any capacity to Guarantor whether due or not.

 

8.1.3. Perform any covenant or agreement of Guarantor in default hereunder (but without obligation to do so) and in that regard pay such money as may be required or as Lender may reasonably deem expedient. Any costs, expenses or fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender in connection with the foregoing shall be included in the Liabilities guaranteed hereby, and shall be due and payable on demand, together with interest at the highest non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law, such interest to be calculated from the date of such advance to the date of repayment thereof. Any such action by Lender shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of Guarantor hereunder and shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Lender.

8.2. Settlement of any claim by Lender against Borrower, whether in any Proceeding or not, and whether voluntary or involuntary, shall not reduce the amount due under the terms of this Guaranty, except to the extent of the amount actually paid by Borrower or any other obligated Person and legally retained by Lender in connection with the settlement (unless otherwise provided for herein).

 

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

9.1. Disclosure of Financial Information. Lender is hereby authorized to disclose any financial or other information about Guarantor to any governmental authority having jurisdiction over Lender or to any present, future or prospective participant or successor in interest in the Note. The information provided may include, without limitation, amounts, terms, balances, payment history, return item history and any financial or other information about Guarantor.

 

9.2. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Lender, as provided herein and in any other Loan Document, shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued separately, successively or together, may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies conferred upon Lender at law or in equity. The failure, at any one or more times, of Lender to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof. Lender shall have the right to take any action it deems appropriate without the necessity of resorting to any collateral securing this Guaranty.

 

9.3. Integration. This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents constitute the sole agreement of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and supersede all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect thereto.

 

9.4. Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. If Lender retains the services of counsel by reason of a claim of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or on account of any matter involving this Guaranty, or for examination of matters subject to Lender’s approval under the Loan Documents, all costs of suit and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by Lender shall forthwith, on demand, become due and payable and shall be secured hereby.

 

9.5. No Implied Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have modified or waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such modification or waiver is in writing and signed by Lender, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver in one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a waiver of or bar to such right or remedy on a subsequent event.

 

9.6. Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents, Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the Liabilities and waives notice of default, non-payment, partial payment, presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, and all other notices to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled or which might be required by law to be given by Lender. Guarantor waives the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws, to the extent permitted by law, and any other protection granted by law to guarantors, now or hereafter in effect with respect to any action or proceeding brought by Lender against it. Guarantor irrevocably waives all claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise and the right to assert against Lender any defenses, set-offs, counterclaims, or claims that Guarantor may have at any time against Borrower or any other party liable to Lender.

9.7. No Third Party Beneficiary. Except as otherwise provided herein, Guarantor and Lender do not intend the benefits of this Guaranty to inure to any third party and no third party (including Borrower) shall have any status, right or entitlement under this Guaranty.

 

9.8. Partial Invalidity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Guaranty shall not render any other provision invalid or unenforceable. In lieu of any invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically a valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

 

9.9. Binding Effect. The covenants, conditions, waivers, releases and agreements contained in this Guaranty shall bind, and the benefits thereof shall inure to, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that this Guaranty cannot be assigned by Guarantor without the prior written consent of Lender, and any such assignment or attempted assignment by Guarantor shall be void and of no effect with respect to the Lender.

 

9.10. Modifications. This Guaranty may not be supplemented, extended, modified or terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

 

9.11. Sales or Participations. Lender may from time to time sell or assign the Note, in whole or in part, or grant participations in the Note and/or the obligations evidenced thereby without the consent of Borrower or Guarantor (other than as provided in the Credit Agreement), provided, however, Lender shall provide written notice to Borrower and Guarantor of any such assignment or grant of participations. The holder of any such sale, assignment or participation, if the applicable agreement between Lender and such holder so provides, shall be: (a) entitled to all of the rights, obligations and benefits of Lender (to the extent of such holder’s interest or participation); and (b) deemed to hold and may exercise the rights of setoff or banker’s lien with respect to any and all obligations of such holder to Guarantor (to the extent of such holder’s interest or participation), in each case as fully as though Guarantor was directly indebted to such holder. Lender may in its discretion give notice to Guarantor of such sale, assignment or participation; however, the failure to give such notice shall not affect any of Lender’s or such holder’s rights hereunder.

9.12. MANDATORY FORUM SELECTION. THE GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AGREES ALL ACTIONS ARISING UNDER, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, OR RELATED TO ANY MATTER WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS GUARANTY (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH CLAIM IS BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT OR TORT) SHALL BE INSTITUTED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN COURTS HAVING THEIR SITUS IN THE COUNTY OF BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA. THE GUARANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT HAVING ITS SITUS IN SAID COUNTY, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS. GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND CONSENT THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO THE GRANTOR, AS APPLICABLE, AS SET FORTH HEREIN IN THE MANNER PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OF COURT OR OTHERWISE. THIS PROVISION IS INTENDED TO BE A “MANDATORY” FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE AND GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED CONSITENT WITH FLORIDA LAW.

 

9.13. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, Guarantor waives all notices and demands in connection with the enforcement of Lender’s rights hereunder. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 

9.14. Governing Law. Except for the Mandatory Forum Selection clause set forth in Section 9.12 hereof, this Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Nevada without reference to conflict of laws principles.

 

9.15. Joint and Several Liability. The word “Guarantor” or “Guarantors” shall mean all of the undersigned persons, if more than one, and their liability shall be joint and several. The liability of Guarantor shall also be joint and several with the liability of any other guarantor under any other guaranty.

 

9.16. Continuing Enforcement. If, after receipt of any payment of all or any part of the Liabilities, Lender is compelled or reasonably agrees, for settlement purposes, to surrender such payment to any person or entity for any reason (including, without limitation, a determination that such payment is void or voidable as a preference or fraudulent conveyance, an impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds), then this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, and Guarantor shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender with respect to the full amount so surrendered. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and shall remain effective notwithstanding the payment of the Liabilities, the cancellation, conversion or redemption of the Note, this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, the release of any security interest, lien or encumbrance securing the Liabilities or any other action which Lender may have taken in reliance upon its receipt of such payment. Any cancellation, release or other such action shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon any payment of the Liabilities having become final and irrevocable.

9.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. GUARANTOR AGREES THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM, BROUGHT BY LENDER OR GUARANTOR ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT HERETO OR THERETO, SHALL BE TRIED ONLY BY A COURT AND NOT BY A JURY. LENDER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND INTELLIGENTLY, AND WITH THE ADVICE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. FURTHER, LENDER AND GUARANTOR WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS SECTION IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS GUARANTY AND THAT LENDER WOULD NOT PURCHASE THE NOTES IF THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION WERE NOT A PART OF THIS GUARANTY.
