Borrower shall also pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Term Loan and Facility 2 Loan at rates in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the first calendar day of each month for so long as any part of the Term Loan or Facility 2 Loan is outstanding.

Nothing in this section shall relieve Borrower from its obligations to make payments in accordance with Section 2.2(c). This Section 2.2(e) shall terminate upon the payment in full of the Term Loan.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations.

Pacific Time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.

At least 10 days prior to the Funding Date, the certificate or certificates for the Borrower Shares, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Borrower, will be, delivered to Bank.

9.                   BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

9.1                Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:

(a)                Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.6, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

(b)                Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

(c)                 Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank reasonably considers advisable;

(d)                Make such payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral;

(e)                 Dispose of the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate; and

(f)                  Exercise any other remedies available under the Code.

9.2                Right of Setoff; Deposit Accounts. Borrower authorizes Bank, upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at any time and from time to time, (a) to set off against, and to appropriate and apply to the payment of, the obligations and liabilities of Borrower under the Loan Documents (whether matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent or liquidated or unliquidated) any and all amounts owing by Bank to Borrower (whether payable in U.S. Dollars or any other currency, whether matured or unmatured, and, in the case of deposits, whether general or special, time or demand and however evidenced) and (b) pending any such action, to the extent necessary, to hold such amounts to secure such obligations and liabilities and to return as unpaid for insufficient funds any and all checks and other items drawn against any deposits so held as Bank in its sole discretion may elect.

9.3                Voting. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Borrower Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement, or which would constitute or create any violation of any such terms. All such rights of Borrower to vote and give consents, waiver and ratifications shall cease in case such an Event of Default hereunder shall occur and be continuing, in which event Bank shall be entitled to vote or give consents, waivers and ratifications and otherwise exercise the rights of a shareholder in respect of the Borrower Shares. Borrower grants Bank an irrevocable proxy to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications, which proxy shall be effective upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.

9.4                Shares owned by Borrower. Borrower recognizes that Bank may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Borrower Shares by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”), so that Bank may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Borrower Shares for their own account, for investment and without a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Borrower understands that private sales so made may be at prices and on other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Borrower Shares were sold at public sales, and agrees that Bank has no obligation to delay the sale of any of the Borrower Shares for the period of time necessary (even if Bank would agree), to register such securities for sale under the Act. Borrower agrees that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

9.5                Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to dispose of any Collateral for the Term Loan or Collateral for the Facility 2 Loan as the case may be, and apply the proceeds as permitted under this Agreement and the Code. The appointment of Bank as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest and granted by way of security to secure the performance of its obligations owed hereunder, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions hereunder is terminated.

9.6                Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and applicable law, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

9.7                Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

9.8                Demand; Protest. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

10.                NOTICES.

Roche c/o OAR Management Inc., 9911 S. 78^th Avenue, Hickory Hills, IL 60457.

Jurisdiction shall lie in the State of California. BANK AND BORROWER EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED. EACH OF THEM, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT, WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTION OF ANY OF THEM. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED BY BANK OR BORROWER, EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY EACH OF THEM.

WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Los Angeles County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Los Angeles County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.
