Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

Rennova Community Health Acquisition

 

On June 10, 2024, the Company entered into the Stock Exchange Agreement (the “RCHI SEA”) with Rennova Community Health, Inc., a Florida corporation (“RCHI”), and Rennova Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RHI”).

 

On September 10, 2024, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Stock Exchange Agreement with RCHI and RHI (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which the RCHI SEA was amended to change the consideration to be received by RHI in exchange for all of the equity interests of RCHI from 20,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company to $100. In addition, under the Amendment, RCHI will issue to RHI a senior note in the principal amount of $22,000,000 (subject to adjustments) (the “Note”), which will be secured by all of the assets of RCHI and its subsidiary, Scott County Community Hospital, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (“SCCH”), under the Security and Pledge Agreement dated September 10, 2024 by, between, and among RHI, RCHI, and SCHH (the “Subsidiary Security Agreement”), with the Company and SCCH providing a guaranty on the Note pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement dated September 10, 2024 (the “Guaranty Agreement”) and with the Company providing a security interest in the “Collateral,” as defined in the Security and Pledge Agreement dated September 10, 2024 (the “Security Agreement”) with RHI.

 

The Note matures on September 10, 2026 and accrues interest on any outstanding principal amount at an interest rate of 8% per annum for the first six months increasing to 12% per annum after six months until maturity. After maturity, the default interest rate will be 20% per annum until the Note is paid in full. The Note requires principal repayments equal to 10% of the free cash flow (net cash from operations less capital expenditures) from RCHI and its subsidiary. Payments will be one month in arrears. The Note will be reduced by payment of 25% of any net proceeds from equity capital raised by the Company. The Note is secured by the assets of RCHI and the Company and guaranteed by Company under the Guaranty Agreement and Security Agreement, respectively.

 

The disclosure above is not a full disclosure of the terms of the Note, the Amendment, the Guaranty Agreement, and the Security Agreement. Copies of the Note, the Amendment, the Guaranty Agreement, and the Security Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 99.1, 99.2, and 99.3, respectively.

This Note is secured by all the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to a Security and Pledge Agreement, dated as of the date hereof. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 25.

 

(1) PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL; MANDATORY REPAYMENT. On the Maturity Date, if any portion of this Note remains outstanding, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, and any accrued and unpaid Interest, and any other amounts then owing under this Note.

(iv) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in an involuntary case, (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(vi) any breach or failure in any respect to comply with any provision of this Note, including Sections 9 and 10 of this Note;

 

(vii) any material damage to, or loss, theft or destruction of a material amount of property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not insured, or any strike, lockout, labor dispute, embargo, condemnation, act of God or public enemy, or other casualty which causes, for more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, the cessation or substantial curtailment of revenue producing activities at any facility of the Company or any Subsidiary, if any such event or circumstance would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(b) Redemption Right. Subject to Section 3(c), at any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice (as defined in Section 3 and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Holder may require the Company to redeem (an “Event of Default Redemption”) all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to require the Company to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 3 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds at a price equal to the product of (A) the Redemption Premium and (B) the Note Amount being redeemed (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”). To the extent redemptions required by this Section 3 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any Redemption Premium with respect to an Event of Default due under this Section 3 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

 

(c) Redemption upon Bankruptcy Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default, whether occurring prior to or following the Maturity Date, the Company shall immediately pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing 100% of all outstanding Principal, and all accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, in addition to any and all other amounts due hereunder (the “Bankruptcy Event of Default Redemption Price”), without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by the Holder or any other Person; provided that the Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of the Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Event of Default, and any right to payment of the Event of Default Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.

 

(4) OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT. The Company may prepay (each, an “Optional Prepayment”) this Note in whole or in part at any time or from time to time by paying the Holder in cash by wire transaction of immediately available funds 100% of the Note Amount being prepaid. The Company may exercise its right to prepay under this Section 4 by delivering a written notice thereof by electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice” and the date the Holder of the Note received such notice is referred to as the “Optional Prepayment Notice Date”). Each Optional Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable. Each Optional Prepayment Notice shall (i) state the date on which the Optional Prepayment shall occur (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), which date shall not be less than two (2) Business Days following the applicable Optional Prepayment Notice Date, and (ii) state the aggregate Note Amount which the Company has elected to be subject to Optional Prepayment from the Holder pursuant to this Section on the related Optional Prepayment Date.

 

(5) NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note.

 

 

(6) REDEMPTIONS. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder within three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice; provided that upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default, the Company shall deliver the applicable Bankruptcy Event of Default Redemption Price in accordance with Section 3 (as applicable, the “Event of Default Redemption Date”). The Company shall deliver the applicable Note Amount being prepaid to the Holder on the applicable Optional Prepayment Date. The Company shall pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by the Holder in writing to the Company on the applicable due date. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Note Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed and any accrued Interest on such Principal which shall be calculated as if no Redemption Notice has been delivered. In the event that the Company does not pay a Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Note Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Note Amount, and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 13) to the Holder representing such Note Amount to be redeemed.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

This GUARANTY AGREEMENT is dated and effective as of September 10, 2024 (as amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), and is made by FOXO Technologies Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (“FOXO”), and Scott County Community Hospital, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Tennessee (“Scott County” and, collectively with FOXO, the “Guarantors”), in favor of Rennova Health, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Rennova”).

 

WHEREAS, Rennova Community Health, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida (the “Company”), issued an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Note, dated and effective as of even date herewith (the “Note”) to Rennova, in connection with that certain Securities Exchange Agreement, dated as of June 10, 2024, and as amended as of September 10, 2024, by and among the Guarantor, the Company and Rennova (the “Exchange Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, in order to induce Rennova to accept the Note, and with full knowledge that Rennova would not accept the Note without this Guaranty, Guarantors have agreed to execute and deliver this Guaranty to Rennova, for the benefit of Rennova, as security for the Obligations of the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, the Guarantors are affiliates of the Company and/or will significantly benefit from Rennova’s acceptance of the Note from the Company.

 

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 are hereby acknowledged, the parties each intending to be legally bound, hereby do agree as follows:

 

1. OBLIGATIONS GUARANTEED

 

Guarantors hereby guaranty and become surety to Rennova for the full, prompt and unconditional 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 Company under the Note and the other Transaction Documents. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of Guarantors and shall be a continuing inexhaustible Guaranty. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Rennova may require Guarantors to pay and perform their liabilities and obligations under this Guaranty and may proceed immediately against Guarantors without being required to bring any proceeding or take any action against Company or any other Person prior thereto; the liability of Guarantors hereunder being independent of and separate from the liability of Company, any other Person, and the availability of other collateral security for the Note and the other Transaction Documents.

 

 

2. DEFINITIONS

 

All capitalized terms used in this Guaranty that are defined in the Exchange Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Exchange Agreement, unless the context of this Guaranty requires otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, “Obligations” shall include all obligations evidenced by the Note, as it may be supplemented, replaced, restated, revised or amended.

 

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Guarantors represent and warrant to Rennova as follows:

 

3.1 Organization, Powers. (i) Each Guarantor is duly formed and organized and has the power and authority (a) to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as now contemplated; and (b) to execute, deliver and perform (and the officer executing this Guaranty on behalf of each Guarantor has been duly authorized to so act and execute this Guaranty on behalf of such Guarantor), and (ii) each Guarantor has by all necessary action authorized the execution, delivery and performance of all of its obligations under this Guaranty and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

 

3.2 Execution of Guaranty. This Guaranty, and each other Transaction Document to which each Guarantor is a party, have been duly executed and delivered by such Guarantor. Execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty and each other Transaction Document to which each 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 such Guarantor is a party or by which such 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 Transaction 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 Transaction Documents.

 

3.3 Obligations of Guarantor. This Guaranty and each other Transaction Document to which any Guarantor is a party are the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Guarantor, enforceable against such 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 issuance of the Note by the Company and the assumption by Guarantors of their obligations hereunder and under any other Transaction Document to which any Guarantor is a party will result in material benefits to the Guarantors.

 

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 Guarantors, threatened, against or affecting any Guarantor or any of its properties, assets or rights which, if adversely determined, would materially impair or affect such Guarantor’s capacity to consummate and perform its obligations under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document to which such Guarantor is a party.

 

 

4. LIABILITY

 

4.1 The Guarantors acknowledge that the obligations undertaken herein involve the guaranty of obligations of a Person other than the Guarantors and, in full recognition of that fact, the Guarantors consent and agree that Rennova 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 Obligations or the interest rate), and/or change or extend the time for payment of, or renew, supplement or modify, any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or any of the Transaction Documents evidencing same, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the Obligations and the Transaction 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 Obligations; (iii) supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval, waiver or consent with respect to, any of the Obligations, or any part thereof, or any of the Transaction 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 Company or other Persons (including any Guarantor) or against any security for the Obligations; (v) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Transaction Documents or the Obligations, or any part thereof; (vi) accept partial payments on the Obligations; (vii) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Obligations, 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 Rennova, 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 Obligations, or any part thereof; (x) settle or compromise any Obligations, whether in a Proceeding or not, and whether voluntarily or involuntarily, dispose of any security therefor (with or without consideration and in whatever manner Rennova deems appropriate), and subordinate the payment of any of the Obligations, whether or not due, to the payment of liabilities owing to creditors of Company other than Rennova and the Guarantors; (xi) consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of Company or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of the Guarantors or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the Obligations; (xii) apply any sums it receives, by whomever paid or however realized, to any of the Obligations and/or (xiii) take any other action which might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Company or any other Person (including the Guarantors) in respect of the Obligations.

 

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

 

 

4.3 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Rennova may enforce this Guaranty independently of any other remedy, guaranty or security Rennova at any time may have or hold in connection with the Obligations, and it shall not be necessary for Rennova to marshal assets in favor of Company, or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Guaranty. The Guarantors expressly waive any right to require Rennova to marshal assets in favor of Company or any other Person, or to proceed against Company or any other Guarantor of the Obligations or any collateral provided by any Person, and agree that Rennova may proceed against any obligor and/or the collateral in such order as Rennova shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. The Guarantors agree that Rennova and Company may deal with each other in connection with the Obligations 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 Each Guarantor expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all defenses which such Guarantor shall or may have as of the date hereof arising or asserted by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of the Company, with respect to the Obligations; (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security for or guaranty of the Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations; (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of the Company or any other Guarantor (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations)); (iv) any failure of Rennova to marshal assets in favor of the Company or any other Person; (v) any failure of Rennova to give notice of sale or other disposition of collateral to Company 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 Rennova to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure of Rennova to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligations; (vii) any act or omission of Rennova or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of the Company or any other Guarantor, 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 any Guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or such Guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; (ix) any failure of Rennova to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any other Person; (x) the election by Rennova, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any other 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 in any bankruptcy proceeding of any other Person; (xii) any use of collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in any bankruptcy proceeding of any other Person; (xiii) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any other Person; (xiv) the avoidance of any lien or security interest in favor of Rennova for any reason; (xv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any other Person, including without limitation any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding; or (xvi) any action taken by Rennova that is authorized by this Section or any other provision of any Transaction Document. Each 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 Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Obligations.

 

 

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

 

4.6 Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of:

 

(i) the amount of all Obligations; and

 

(ii) the amount which could be claimed by Rennova from the Guarantor under this Guaranty without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Guarantor’s right of contribution and indemnification.

 

5. LIMITATION ON SUBROGATION

 

Until the Termination Date, each Guarantor waives any present or future right to which such Guarantor is or may become entitled to be subrogated to Rennova’s rights against Company or to seek contribution, reimbursement, indemnification, payment or the like, or participation in any claim, right or remedy of Rennova against Company or any security which Rennova 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 any Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, or indemnification at any time when all of the Obligations have not been paid in full, such Guarantor shall hold such funds or property in trust for Rennova and shall forthwith pay over to Rennova such funds and/or property to be applied by Rennova to the Obligations.

 

6. COVENANTS

 

6.1 Subordination of Other Debts. Each Guarantor hereby: (a) subordinates the obligations now or hereafter owed by Company to such Guarantor (“Subordinated Debt”) to any and all obligations of Company to Rennova now or hereafter existing while this Guaranty is in effect, and hereby agrees that such 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 such Guarantor, through error or otherwise, shall immediately be forwarded to Rennova by such Guarantor, properly endorsed to the order of Rennova, to apply to the Obligations.

 

 

6.2 Security for Guaranty. Each obligation and liability of each Guarantor evidenced by this Guaranty is also secured by all of the Collateral of the Guarantors pursuant to that certain Security Agreement by and between FOXO and Rennova, dated as of September 10, 2024, and that certain Security Agreement by and among the Company, Scott County and Rennova, dated as of September 10, 2024 (together with any amendments thereto, collectively, the “Security Agreements”). All of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions, representations, warranties and stipulations contained in the Security Agreements or any other Transaction Documents to which a Guarantor is a party which are to be kept and performed by the Guarantors are hereby made a part of this Guaranty to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein, and each Guarantor covenants and agrees to keep and perform them, or cause them to be kept or performed, strictly in accordance with their terms.

 

7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

 

Each of the Events of Default by any party in the Note, Security Agreements or any other Transaction Document shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Each of the following shall also constitute an Event of Default hereunder:

 

(i) any Guarantor fails to pay any amount payable under this Guaranty when the same becomes due and payable;

 

(ii) any Guarantor fails to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Guaranty, if such failure remains unremedied for five days after written notice thereof has been given to such Guarantor;

 

(iii) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Guarantor herein proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;

 

(iv) any Guarantor, pursuant to or within the meaning of Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar federal, foreign or state law for the relief of debtors (collectively, “Bankruptcy Law”), (A) commences a bankruptcy voluntary case, (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary bankruptcy case or any involuntary bankruptcy case is not dismissed within 30 days, (C) consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar officer (a “Custodian”), (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (E) admits in writing that it is generally unable to pay its debts as they become due;

 

(v) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief against any Guarantor in an involuntary case, (B) appoints a Custodian of any Guarantor or (C) orders the liquidation of any Guarantor; or

 

(vi) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $250,000 are rendered against any Guarantor and which judgments are not, within sixty (60) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a creditworthy party shall not be included in calculating the $250,000 amount set forth above so long as such Guarantor provides Rennova a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to Rennova) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and such Guarantor will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty (30) days of the issuance of such judgment.

 

 

8. REMEDIES

 

8.1 Upon an Even of Default, which is not timely cured, all liabilities and obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall become immediately due and payable without demand or notice and, in addition to any other remedies provided by law or in equity, Rennova may:

 

8.1.1 Enforce the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty.

 

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 Obligations any sum owed by Rennova in any capacity to any Guarantor whether due or not.

 

8.1.3 Perform any covenant or agreement of any Guarantor in default hereunder (but without obligation to do so) and in that regard pay such money as may be required or as Rennova may reasonably deem expedient. Any costs, expenses or fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Rennova in connection with the foregoing shall be included in the Obligations 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 Rennova shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any Guarantor hereunder and shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Rennova.

 

8.2 Settlement of any claim by Rennova against Company, 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 Company or any other obligated Person and legally retained by Rennova in connection with the settlement (unless otherwise provided for herein or therein).

 

9. MISCELLANEOUS

 

9.1 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Rennova, as provided herein and in any other Transaction 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 Rennova at law or in equity. The failure, at any one or more times, of Rennova to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof. Rennova shall have the right to take any action it deems appropriate without the necessity of resorting to any collateral securing this Guaranty.

 

9.2 Integration. This Guaranty and the other Transaction 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.

 

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

 

 

9.4 No Implied Waiver. Rennova 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 Rennova, 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.

 

9.5 Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any of the Transaction Documents, each Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the Obligations and waives notice of default, non-payment, partial payment, presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, and all other notices to which any Guarantor might otherwise be entitled or which might be required by law to be given by Rennova. Each 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 any Guarantor, now or hereafter in effect with respect to any action or proceeding brought by Rennova against it. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives all claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise and the right to assert against Rennova any defenses, set-offs, counterclaims, or claims that any Guarantor may have at any time against Company or any other party liable to Rennova.

 

9.6 No Third-Party Beneficiary. Except as otherwise provided herein, no party hereto intends the benefits of this Guaranty to inure to any third party and no third party (including Company) shall have any status, right or entitlement under this Guaranty.

 

9.7 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.

 

9.8 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 any Guarantor without the prior written consent of Rennova, and any such assignment or attempted assignment by any Guarantor shall be void and of no effect with respect to Rennova.

 

9.9 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.

 

9.10 Sales or Participations. Rennova 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 Company or any Guarantor, provided, however, Rennova shall provide written notice to Company and Guarantors of any such assignment or grant of participations. The holder of any such sale, assignment or participation, if the applicable agreement between Rennova and such holder so provides, shall be: (a) entitled to all of the rights, obligations and benefits of Rennova (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 Guarantors (to the extent of such holder’s interest or participation), in each case as fully as though Guarantors are directly indebted to such holder.

SECTION 7. Remedies Upon Event of Default; Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to any applicable cure periods:

 

(a) The Noteholders may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein, in any other Transaction Document or otherwise available to them, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into the Noteholders’ name or into the name of their nominee or nominees (to the extent the Noteholders have not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though they were the outright owner thereof, and (ii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale in accordance with applicable law (including, without limitation, by credit bid), at any of the Noteholders’ offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Noteholders may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Noteholders may deem commercially reasonable. The Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.

The Noteholders may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Noteholders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Noteholders accept the first offer received and do not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that the Grantor may have to require that all or any part of such Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. The Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of the Collateral by the Noteholders shall be made without warranty, (ii) the Noteholders may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (iii) such actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of Collateral.

 

 

(b) Any cash held by the Noteholders as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds received by the Noteholders in respect of any sale or disposition of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as follows: first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Noteholders (including those described in Section 8 hereof); second, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; third, to pay interest due under the Notes owing to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; fourth, to pay or prepay principal in respect of the Notes, whether or not then due, owing to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; and fifth, to pay or prepay any other Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and manner as the Noteholders shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by the Noteholders and remaining after the Payment in Full of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

 

(c) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, disposition, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Noteholders are legally entitled, the Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in the Notes for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Noteholders to collect such deficiency.

 

(d) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Noteholders to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Noteholders (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Noteholders to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) 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, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) 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 capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Noteholders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Noteholders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Noteholders, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants, attorneys and other professionals to assist the Noteholders in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Noteholders would be commercially reasonable in the Noteholders’ exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Noteholders 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 the Grantor or to impose any duties on the Noteholders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this section.

 

 

(e) The Noteholders shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this 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, and all of the Noteholders’ rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that the Grantor lawfully may, the 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 the Noteholders’ rights under this 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, the Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

 

SECTION 8. Indemnity and Expenses.

 

(a) The Grantor agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold the Noteholders harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, costs, expenses, and disbursements of such Person’s counsel) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal.

 

(b) The Grantor agrees to pay to the Noteholders upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Noteholders and of any experts and agents, which the Noteholders may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Noteholders hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Grantor to perform or observe the of the provisions hereof.

No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to fewer than all of the Noteholders or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Noteholders without such holder’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such holder’s sole discretion).

 

(b) No failure on the part of the Noteholders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right reasonably hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right reasonably preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of any Noteholder provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of any Noteholder under any of the other Transaction Documents against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights under any of the other Transaction Documents against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited to, the Grantor.

Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, without notice to the Grantor, the Noteholders may assign or otherwise transfer their rights and obligations under this Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents, to any other Person and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Noteholders herein or otherwise. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to any such Noteholder shall mean the assignee of such Noteholder. None of the rights or obligations of the Grantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Noteholders, and any such assignment or transfer without such consent of the Noteholders shall be null and void.

 

 

(e) Upon the Payment in Full of the Obligations, (i) this Agreement and the security interests created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor, and (ii) the Noteholders will, upon the Grantor’s request and at the Grantor’s expense, (A) return to the Grantor such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, all without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever.

 

(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.

 

(i) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Florida.

 

(ii) The Grantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Palm Beach County, Florida, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim, defense or objection that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it hereunder and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Noteholders from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Grantor in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Grantor’s obligations or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of a Noteholder.

 

(iii) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. THE GRANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

(iv) The Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages.

(ii) Each Grantor will (except as otherwise provided in this subsection (f)), continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due under the Accounts. In connection with such collections, any Grantor may (and, at the Noteholders’ direction, will) take such action as any Grantor or the Noteholders may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection or performance of the Accounts; provided, however, that the Noteholders shall have the right at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to notify the Account Debtors or obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to the Noteholders and to direct such Account Debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to any Grantor thereunder directly to the Noteholders or their designated agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of any Grantor and to the extent permitted by applicable law, to enforce collection of any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as any Grantor might have done.

SECTION 6. Additional Provisions Concerning the Collateral.

 

(a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for the purpose of taking any action that the Noteholders may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, each Grantor hereby (i) authorizes the Noteholders to execute any such agreements, instruments or other documents in such Grantor’s name and to file such agreements, instruments or other documents in such Grantor’s name and in any appropriate filing office, (ii) authorizes the Noteholders at any time and from time to time to file, one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any such financing statements that (A) describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” (or words of similar effect) or that describe or identify the Collateral by type or in any other manner as the Noteholders may determine regardless of whether any particular asset of such Grantor falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Code or whether any particular asset of such Grantor constitutes part of the Collateral, and (B) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment, including, without limitation, whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor and (iii) ratifies such authorization to the extent that the Noteholders have filed any such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, prior to the date hereof.

(b) Upon an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Noteholders as its attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Noteholders’ discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Noteholders may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Noteholders pursuant to Section 5(e) hereof, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above, (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Noteholders may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Noteholders with respect to any Collateral, (v) to execute assignments, licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of the Noteholders with respect to any Collateral, and (vi) to verify any and all information with respect to any and all Accounts.

(c) If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Noteholders may themselves perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, in the name of such Grantor or the Noteholders, and the expenses of the Noteholders incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor pursuant to Section 8 hereof and shall be secured by the Collateral.

 

(d) The powers conferred on the Noteholders hereunder are solely to protect their interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any of them to exercise any such powers.

(A) the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of a Pledged Entity;

 

(B) the consolidation or merger of a Pledged Entity with any other Person;

 

(C) the sale, disposition or encumbrance of all or substantially all of the assets of a Pledged Entity, except for Liens in favor of the Noteholders;

(ii) Each Grantor shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity to the extent not in violation of the Exchange Agreement other than any and all: (A) dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of any Pledged Equity, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity; (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Equity in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital of a Pledged Entity; and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed, in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity; provided, however, that until actually paid all rights to such distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Agreement; and

SECTION 7. Remedies Upon Event of Default; Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to any applicable cure periods:

 

(a) The Noteholders may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein, in any other Transaction Document or otherwise available to them, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into the Noteholders’ name or into the name of their nominee or nominees (to the extent the Noteholders have not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though they were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Noteholders forthwith, assemble all or part of its respective Collateral as directed by the Noteholders and make it available to the Noteholders at a place or places to be designated by the Noteholders that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Noteholders may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by any Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Noteholders’ rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to any Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale in accordance with applicable law (including, without limitation, by credit bid), at any of the Noteholders’ offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Noteholders may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Noteholders may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of its respective Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to any Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of its respective Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Noteholders shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Noteholders may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Noteholders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which its respective Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Noteholders accept the first offer received and do not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that any Grantor may have to require that all or any part of such Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of its respective Collateral by the Noteholders shall be made without warranty, (ii) the Noteholders may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (iii) such actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of Collateral.

 

(b) Any cash held by the Noteholders as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds received by the Noteholders in respect of any sale or disposition of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as follows: first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Noteholders (including those described in Section 8 hereof); second, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; third, to pay interest due under the Notes owing to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; fourth, to pay or prepay principal in respect of the Notes, whether or not then due, owing to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; and fifth, to pay or prepay any other Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and manner as the Noteholders shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by the Noteholders and remaining after the Payment in Full of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

 

 

(c) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, disposition, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Noteholders are legally entitled, each Grantor shall be, jointly and severally, liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in the Notes for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Noteholders to collect such deficiency.

 

(d) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Noteholders to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Noteholders (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Noteholders to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) 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, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) 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 capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Noteholders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Noteholders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Noteholders, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants, attorneys and other professionals to assist the Noteholders in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Noteholders would be commercially reasonable in the Noteholders’ exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Noteholders 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 any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Noteholders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this section.

 

 

(e) The Noteholders shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this 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, and all of the Noteholders’ rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that any Grantor lawfully may, each 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 the Noteholders’ rights under this 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, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

 

SECTION 8. Indemnity and Expenses.

 

(a) Each Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to defend, protect, indemnify and hold the Noteholders harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, costs, expenses, and disbursements of such Person’s counsel) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal.

 

(b) Each Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay to the Noteholders upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Noteholders and of any experts and agents, which the Noteholders may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Noteholders hereunder, or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

 

SECTION 9. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, first-class postage prepaid and return receipt requested), telecopied, e-mailed or delivered, if to any Grantor, to the Company’s address, or if to any Noteholder, to it at its respective address; or as to any such Person, at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to all other parties hereto complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 9. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (a) if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, when received or three Business Days after deposited in the mails, whichever occurs first, (b) if telecopied or e-mailed, when transmitted (during normal business hours) and confirmation is received, and otherwise, the day after the notice or communication was transmitted and confirmation is received, or (c) if delivered in person, upon delivery.

 

 

SECTION 10. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Grantor and the Noteholders and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by each Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Grantor and the Noteholders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to fewer than all of the Noteholders or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Noteholders without such holder’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such holder’s sole discretion).

 

(b) No failure on the part of the Noteholders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right reasonably hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right reasonably preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of any Noteholder provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of any Noteholder under any of the other Transaction Documents against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights under any of the other Transaction Documents against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited to, any Grantor.

 

(c) Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

(d) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Obligations, and (ii) be binding on each Grantor and all other Persons who become bound as debtor to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9-203(d) of the Code and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Noteholders hereunder, to the benefit of the Noteholders and their respective permitted successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, without notice to any Grantor, the Noteholders may assign or otherwise transfer their rights and obligations under this Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents, to any other Person and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Noteholders herein or otherwise. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to any such Noteholder shall mean the assignee of such Noteholder. None of the rights or obligations of any Grantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Noteholders, and any such assignment or transfer without such consent of the Noteholders shall be null and void.

 

(e) Upon the Payment in Full of the Obligations, (i) this Agreement and the security interests created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the respective Grantor that granted such security interests hereunder, and (ii) the Noteholders will, upon any Grantor’s request and at such Grantor’s expense, (A) return to such Grantor such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, all without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever.

 

 

(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.

 

(i) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Florida.

 

(ii) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Palm Beach County, Florida, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim, defense or objection that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it hereunder and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Noteholders from bringing suit or taking other legal action against any Grantor in any other jurisdiction to collect on a Grantor’s obligations or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of a Noteholder.

 

(iii) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC.
