17.           Miscellaneous

 

(a)           Waiver.  The failure of either Party to insist upon or enforce performance by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any
right under this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such Party’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance; rather the same will be and remain in full force and effect.

 

(b)           Force Majeure.  No Party shall be liable for, or considered in breach of or default under this Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform
as required by the Agreement (except with respect to payment obligations) as a result of any causes or conditions which are beyond such Party’s reasonable control and which such Party is unable to overcome by the exercise of reasonable diligence.  If any force majeure event occurs (which shall include, without limitation, acts of God, telecommunications, Internet or network failure, results of vandalism or computer hacking, fire, explosion, storm or other natural occurrences, any conflicting order,
direction, action or request of the United States government (including, without limitation, state and local governments) or of any regulatory department, agency, commission, court, bureau, corporation or other instrumentality, or of any civil or military authority, national emergencies, insurrections, riots, wars, strikes, lockouts, work stoppages or other such labor difficulties), the affected Party will give prompt written notice to the other Party and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the
impact of such event.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties' obligations to one another shall be excused and/or postponed during and only for the duration of the applicable force majeure event and shall resume as soon as practicable after the force majeure event has ended.

 

(c)           Relationship of the Parties.  The Parties to the Agreement are independent contractors.  No Party is an agent, representative, partner or

No Party will have any right, power, or authority to enter into any agreement on behalf of, or incur any obligation or liability of, or to otherwise bind the other Party.  The Agreement will not be interpreted or construed to create an association, agency, joint venture, or partnership between the Parties or to impose any liability attributable to such a relationship upon either Party.

 

(d)           Survival.  In addition to any provisions which specifically provide for survival or for continued obligations following the termination of this Agreement,
the following shall survive the termination of this Agreement:  all representations and warranties; all provisions for payment of any amounts due hereunder, including but not limited to, expenses or compensation; all provisions for confidentiality; all provisions for indemnification, until the first anniversary of the Maturity Date; all provisions for insurance coverage; and all provisions for arbitration or the resolution of disputes.

 

(e)           Construction; Severability.   Each Party acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement were negotiated to reflect an informed, voluntary
allocation between them of all the risks (both known and unknown) associated with the transactions contemplated hereunder.  Further, all provisions are inserted conditionally on their being valid in law.  In the event that any provision of the Agreement conflicts with the law under which the Agreement is to be construed or if any such provision is held invalid or unenforceable by a court with jurisdiction over the Parties to the Agreement:  (i) such provision will be restated to
reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the Parties in accordance with applicable law; and (ii) the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and restrictions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

releases any and all claims against Borrower or Borrower related to any projections furnished by Borrower to the Lenders, which represent only the good faith estimate by Borrower of future financial performance and / or opportunities and should not be considered as facts or certainties.

 

(h)           Amendment.  No change, amendment, or modification of any provision of the Agreement will be valid unless set forth in a written instrument signed
by all of the Parties.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (“Guaranty”) is dated as of August 28, 2009 (the “Effective Date”) by the
undersigned (each hereinafter referred to as a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of IP GLOBAL INVESTORS LTD., a Nevada corporation or its registered assigns and EQUITIES MEDIA ACQUISITION CORP. INC., or its registered assigns (each a “Lender”
and collectively the “Lenders”) of the 9% maximum $2,500,000 Revolving Credit Secured Convertible Note (the “Note”) and the related Transaction Documents issued pursuant to a revolving credit loan agreement between FUND.COM INC. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
certain stockholders of the Company and each Lenders, dated as of July 27, 2009 (the “Loan Agreement”) and the Exhibits to the Loan Agreement, all dated as of July 27, 2009 (with the Loan Agreement, collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) from.

NOW, THEREFORE, as a material inducement to each Lender to purchase the Note and Warrants from the Company, and for further good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantors
hereby, unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely, warrant and represent to and covenant with each Lender as follows:

 1.      Guaranty of Obligation. The
Guarantors jointly, severally, unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely, guarantee to each Lender that all indebtedness and other obligations of the Company evidenced by the Note and/or provided in the Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), will be promptly paid when due and performed in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof (and as they may be amended, extended or renewed from time to time) including,
without limitation, interest on all of the above amounts as agreed upon between the Company and each Lender, and any and all renewals, extensions and rearrangements of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations. This is a continuing guaranty and shall continue to apply without regard to the form or amount of indebtedness or obligation which the Company may create, renew, extend or alter in whole or in part, without notice to the Guarantors.

2.           Liability for Other Indebtedness.  If
the Guarantors are or become liable for any indebtedness owing by the Company to any or all Lenders by endorsement or otherwise than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of such Lender hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that such Lender may ever have against the Guarantors.  The exercise by such Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude
the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.

3.           No Release From Obligations.  The
obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall not be released or impaired in any manner whatsoever, without the written consent of each Lender, including on account of any or all of the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

a. any permitted assignment, endorsement or transfer, in whole or in part, of the Guaranteed Obligations, although made without consent of the Guarantors;

 

b. any waiver by any Lender of the performance or observance by either or both of the Company or the Guarantors of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any document evidencing, governing
or securing the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

c. any extension of the time for payment or performance of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

d. the renewal, rearrangement, modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the Company set forth in any document evidencing, governing or securing the Guaranteed
Obligations;

 

e. the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of either or both of the Company or the Guarantors;

 

f. any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceedings or lack of corporate power, affecting either or both of the Company or the Guarantors or any of their assets;

 

g. any release, withdrawal, surrender, exchange, substitution, subordination or loss of any security or other guaranty at any time existing in connection with all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the
acceptance of additional or substitute property as security therefore;

 

h. the release or discharge of the Company or the Guarantors from the observance or performance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any document evidencing, governing or securing the Guaranteed
Obligations;

 

i. any action which either Lender may take or omit to take by virtue of any document evidencing, governing or securing the Guaranteed Obligations or through any course of dealing with either or both of the Company or
the Guarantors;

 

j. the addition of a new guarantor or guarantors;

 

k. the operation of law or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing;

 

l. any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that may be granted or given by either Lender to any party;

 

m. the failure by either Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or other proceeding) of the Company;

 

 

 

2

 

 

n. if the recovery from the Company becomes barred by any statute of limitations or is otherwise prevented;

 

o. any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which may be available to the Company;

 

p. any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of liability of, or stay of actions of lien enforcement proceedings against the Company, its property, or its estate in bankruptcy
resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar federal or state statute, or from the decision of any court; or

 

q. any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of either Lender to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or to foreclose or take or prosecute
any action in connection with any lien, right of security (including perfection thereof), existing or to exist in connection with, or as security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, it being the intention hereof that the Guarantors shall remain liable as principals on the Guaranteed Obligations, notwithstanding any act, omission or thing which might, but for the provisions hereof, otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor.

 

4.           Payment and Performance of Obligations.  In
the event of default by the Company in payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, when such indebtedness or performance becomes due, either by its terms or as the result of the exercise of any power to accelerate, the Guarantors shall, without notice or demand, and without any notice having been given to the Guarantors of the acceptance by any Lender of this Guaranty and without any notice having been given to the Guarantors of the creating or incurring of such indebtedness, pay
the amount due thereon to each Lender, at its office, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by such Lender, and it shall not be necessary for any Lender, in order to enforce such payment by the Guarantors, first, to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against the Company or others liable on such indebtedness, or to enforce its rights against any security which shall ever have been given to secure such indebtedness.

 

5.           Waiver of Notice.  Notice
to the Guarantors of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the making, renewing or assignment of the Guaranteed Obligations and each item thereof, are hereby expressly waived by the Guarantors.

 

6.           Payments by the Company.  Each
payment on the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to have been made by the Company unless express written notice is given to each Lender at the time of such payment that such payment is made by the Guarantors as specified in such notice.

 

 

 

3

 

 

7.           Releases and Waivers.  If
all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations at any time be secured, the Guarantors agree that each Lender may at any time and from time to time, at their discretion and with or without valuable consideration, allow substitution or withdrawal of collateral or other security and release collateral or other security without impairing or diminishing the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder.  The Guarantors further agree that if the Company executes in favor of each Lender any collateral agreement,
deed of trust or other security instrument, the exercise by each Lender of any right or remedy thereby conferred on each Lender shall be wholly discretionary with each Lender, and that the exercise or failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no way impair or diminish the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder.  The Guarantors further agree that each Lender shall not be liable for their failure to use diligence in the collection of the Guaranteed Obligations or in preserving the liability
of any person liable on the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Guarantors hereby waive presentment for payment, protest and notice thereof, notice of acceleration, and diligence in bringing suits against any person liable on the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof. 

 

8.           No Release of the Guarantors.  If
the Guaranteed Obligations at any time exceeds the amount permitted by law, or the Company is not liable because the act of creating the Guaranteed Obligations is ultra vires, or the officers or persons creating the Guaranteed Obligations acted in excess of their authority, and for these reasons the Guaranteed Obligations which the Guarantors agree to pay cannot be enforced against the Company, such fact shall in no manner affect the Guarantors’ liability hereunder, but the Guarantors shall be liable under
this Guaranty notwithstanding that the Company is not liable for the Guaranteed Obligations, and to the same extent the Guarantors would have been liable if the Guaranteed Obligations had been enforceable against the Company.

 

9.           Optional Acceleration.  If
an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) by the Company shall occur and be continuing, and if any such Event of Default shall occur at a time when any of the Guaranteed Obligations may not then be due and payable, such Guaranteed Obligations, at the option of each Lender, shall thereupon be deemed to be immediately due and payable in full, and the Guarantors shall pay to each Lender forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder if all Guaranteed Obligations were then due
and payable.

 

10.           Successors and Assigns.  This
Guaranty is for the benefit of each Lender, their permitted successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment by any Lender, its permitted successors or assigns, of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, the rights and benefits hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness.

 

11.           Modifications and Waivers. Cumulative Rights.  No
modification, consent, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by an officer of each Lender and Guarantor, and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on the Guarantors in any case shall, of itself, entitle the Guarantors to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  No
delay or omission by any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder.  All rights and remedies of each Lender hereunder are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy which each Lender may otherwise have at law or in equity
or under any other contract or document, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.  In this Guaranty, whenever the context so requires, the singular number includes the plural, and conversely.

 

 

 

4

 

 

12.           Compliance with Laws.  Should
the Guarantors be permitted to raise usury as a defense under applicable law, then no provision herein or in the Transaction Documents shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by law.  Should such defense be available, the Guarantors shall not be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the amount permitted by law as to the Guarantors.  Should the Guarantors be permitted to raise the usury defense
and prevail, the Transaction Documents shall be held subject to reduction of the interest charged to the amount allowed under said usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction.  The parties agree that New York law shall control as to this issue.

 

13.           Benefit to Guarantor.  The
Guarantors acknowledge and warrant that they have derived or expect to derive financial and other advantage and benefit, directly or indirectly, from the Guaranteed Obligations and each and every advance thereof and from each and every renewal, extension, release of collateral or other relinquishment of legal rights made or granted or to be made or granted by each Lender to the Company.

 

14.           Attorney's Fees.  Each
Lender shall be entitled to recover their reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in the event of any dispute between the parties arising under this Agreement in which each Lender are the prevailing party.

15.           Guarantors' Warranties.  Each
Guarantor hereby warrants and represents to each Lender that:

a. Such Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect.  Such Guarantor has the corporate or other requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform the provisions hereof.

 

b. This Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Guarantor, and this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable
against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

 

c. The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien,
claim or encumbrance in respect of any property of such Guarantor under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws or other organizational document, or any other agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor is bound or by which such Guarantor or any of its properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator
or governmental authority applicable to such Guarantor or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any governmental authority applicable to such Guarantor.

 

 

 

5

 

 

d. No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guarantee.

 

e. Upon the execution and delivery hereof, such Guarantor will be solvent, will be able to pay its debts as they mature and will have capital sufficient to carry on its business.

 

16.           Subordination and No Subrogation.  If,
for any reason whatsoever, the Company now or hereafter becomes indebted to the Guarantors, such indebtedness and all interest thereon, shall, at all times, be subordinate in all respects to the Transaction Documents, and the Guarantors shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until the Guaranteed Obligations has been fully paid and satisfied.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty or any payments made by the Guarantors hereunder, the Guarantors shall
not have any right of subrogation in or under the Transaction Documents or to participate in any way therein, or any right, title or interest in and to any mortgaged property or any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, all such rights of subrogation and participation being hereby expressly waived and released, until the Guaranteed Obligations has been fully paid and satisfied.

 

17.           Law Governing and Jurisdiction. This
Agreement shall be enforced, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.  The parties hereto hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States federal courts or New York state courts located in New York, New York with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement, the agreements entered into in connection herewith
or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and shall subject themselves to such personal jurisdiction.  The parties irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit or proceeding.  The parties further agree that service of process upon a party mailed by first class mail shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the party in any such suit or proceeding.  Nothing
herein shall affect any party’s right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.  The parties agree that a final non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner.  The party which does not prevail in any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be responsible for all fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party
in connection with such dispute.

18.           Severability.  If
any provision of this Guaranty or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remainder of this Guaranty nor the application of such provision to any other persons or circumstances shall be affected thereby, but rather the same shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

19.           Paragraph Headings.  The
paragraph headings inserted in this Guaranty have been included for convenience only and are not intended, and shall not be construed, to limit or define in any way the substance of any paragraph contained herein.

20.           Facsimile Signature.   This
Agreement may be executed and delivered to each Lender containing a facsimile signature of Gregory Webster, the President of the Guarantors; which facsimile signature each of the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees shall have the same validity and enforceability as those the same were a ribbon original signature.

 

21.           Compounding and Settlement.  The
Guarantors agree that Lender, in its discretion, may (i) bring suit against the Guarantors and other guarantors, if any, jointly and severally or against any one or more of them, (ii) compound or settle with any one or more of guarantor(s) for such consideration as each Lender may deem proper, and (iii) release one or more of guarantor(s) from liability hereunder, and that no such action shall impair the rights of any Lender to collect the Guaranteed Obligations (or the unpaid balance thereof) from the Guarantors,
