(“Acuity”).
RECITALS
          WHEREAS, on January 11, 2007, the Frost Group entered into that certain Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with Acuity and Froptix Corporation, a Florida corporation (“Froptix”), whereby the Frost Group, among other things, agreed to extend up to a $7,000,000 line of credit to Acuity.
          WHEREAS, on March 27, 2007, Acuity and Froptix entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Borrower and certain of its subsidiaries, pursuant to which Borrower agreed (i) to assume the obligations of Acuity under the Master Agreement and the Subordinated Note and Security Agreement executed and delivered by Acuity in connection therewith (the “Original Note”) and (ii) to enter into a credit agreement on substantially the terms set forth in the Master Agreement (capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement).
          WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement further provides that Borrower and the Frost Group increase the amount of available borrowings under the Master Agreement and Original Note to provide Borrower with a subordinated secured line of credit (the “Line of Credit”) in the amount of $12,000,000 (the “Available Amount”) on the terms set forth herein.
          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly and mutually acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
LINE OF CREDIT
          Section 1.1. Assumption. Acuity hereby assigns, and Borrower hereby assumes from Acuity, all rights and liabilities outstanding under the Master Agreement and Original Note, whether for principal, accrued interest, expenses and otherwise, and Borrower agrees to discharge all such liabilities in full; provided that Borrower does not assume any liabilities of Acuity or Froptix pursuant to Section 7.8 of the Master Agreement, and this Agreement shall in no way affect or diminish such obligations or the rights of Borrower with respect to such obligations. By executing a counterpart signature page to this Agreement, Acuity agrees to this assignment and assumption, and represents and warrants to Borrower and the Frost Group that

 


 

there is no default under the Master Agreement or Event of Default (as defined in the Original Note) under the Original Note as of the date hereof.
          Section 1.2. The Line of Credit. From time to time prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note (as hereafter defined)), subject to the provisions below, the Frost Group shall make Advances (as hereafter defined) to Borrower, which Borrower shall pay and may reborrow, so long as the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Available Amount.
          Section 1.3. Warrants. In consideration of the extension of credit hereunder, Borrower will grant to the Frost Group one or more Warrants (the “Warrants”), which warrants will be issued substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with an exercise price equal to the Parent Per Share Stock Valuation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and will provide such parties the right to buy 333,400 shares of the Borrower’s common stock for each million dollars committed by such party (including amounts loaned to Acuity prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and assumed hereunder).
          Section 1.4. Note. The indebtedness of Borrower to the Frost Group will be evidenced by an amended and restated subordinated note and security agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B (the “Note”). The original principal amount of the Note will be $12,000,000; provided, however, that notwithstanding the face amount of the Note, Borrower’s liability under the Note shall be limited at all times to its actual indebtedness, principal, interest, fees, charges, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and other amounts, obligations, covenants and duties owing by Borrower to the Frost Group (or any permitted assignee) of any kind and description (whether pursuant to or evidenced by the Note or this Agreement), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, including Lender’s Expenses (collectively, the “Obligations”), in each case as then outstanding hereunder and under the Note. As used herein, “Lender’s Expenses” means all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in amending, enforcing or defending the Note (including fees and expenses of appeal or review), including the exercise of any rights or remedies afforded under the Note or under applicable law, whether or not suit is brought, whether before or after bankruptcy or insolvency, including without limitation all fees and costs incurred by the Frost Group in connection with the Frost Group’s enforcement of its rights in a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding filed by or against Borrower or its property.
          Section 1.5. Use of Proceeds. Funds advanced under the Line of Credit shall be used for working capital or general corporate purposes of Borrower.
          Section 1.6. Payment of Outstanding Amount. The aggregate Obligations outstanding on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date in accordance with the terms of the Note.
          Section 1.7. Interest. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Line of Credit shall accrue at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded quarterly (the “Interest Rate”), and shall be payable on the last day of each calendar month until the repayment in full of all Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and cancellation of the Note.

          Section 1.8. Default Rate. Upon the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the Frost Group’s option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Note) and during the continuance thereof, the Note shall bear interest at a rate that shall be five percent (5.0%) in excess of the Interest Rate but not more than the maximum rate allowed by law (the “Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on the Note. The Default Rate is imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Frost Group’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Frost Group’s exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys which the Frost Group may employ. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Frost Group of carrying a loan that is in default. Borrower agrees that the Default Rate is a reasonable forecast of just compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Frost Group, and that the actual harm incurred by the Frost Group cannot be estimated with certainty and without difficulty.
          Section 1.9. Subordination Agreement. On the date of this Agreement, Borrower, the Frost Group and Horizon Technology Funding Company LLC, have entered into a Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement, attached here to as Exhibit C.

Any such notice shall be in the form of the Borrowing Notice set forth as Exhibit D (the “Borrowing Notice”), shall be certified by the president of Borrower, and shall set forth the aggregate amount of the requested Advance. Upon receiving a request for an Advance to which Borrower is entitled hereunder and under the Note, and provided there is no Event of Default (as defined in the Note), the Frost Group shall make available to Borrower the amount of the requested Advance by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Borrower on the third business day after receipt of such Borrowing Notice.
          Section 1.11. Prepayment. Borrower may prepay the outstanding Obligations under the Line of Credit at any time without premium or penalty. Prepayments of all or any portion of the Obligations shall not reduce the Available Amount, and funds may be reborrowed hereunder up to the Available Amount, subject to the provision hereof and the Note.
          Section 1.12. Payment Application. Any and all payments on account of the Obligations will be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and second to outstanding principal and other sums due hereunder. If Borrower makes a payment or payments and such payment or payments, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other person under any bankruptcy act, state, provincial or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or payments, the Obligations or part thereof hereunder intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made.
          Section 1.13. Conditions to First Advance. The obligation of the Frost Group to make the first Advance (which shall consist of the Borrower’s assumption of obligations

Neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has any obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any “pension plan” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA.

- 10 -


 

under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, and at the expense of the participant or the participant’s beneficiary.
               3.20.2. The Borrower Employee Benefit Plans have been maintained in all material respects in accordance with their terms and with all provisions of ERISA, the Code (including rules and regulations thereunder) and other applicable federal and state Laws and regulations. The exercise price of each option to purchase or acquire from Borrower any of Borrower’s authorized and unissued capital stock was intended to constitute a price which is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, as then determined in good faith by the Borrower board of directors.
               3.20.3. There are no pending actions, claims or lawsuits that have been asserted or instituted against any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan, the assets of any of the trusts under any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan or the sponsor of any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, against any fiduciary or administrator of any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan with respect to the operation of any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan (other than routine benefit claims), nor does Borrower have any knowledge of facts that could reasonably be expected to form the basis for any such claim or lawsuit.
               3.20.4. Neither will the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (i) result in any payment becoming due to any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any rights with respect to any such benefits under any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan or (iv) require any contributions or payments to fund, or any security to secure, any obligations under any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan.

To Borrower’s knowledge, none of such persons has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which Borrower is affiliated or with which Borrower has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes with Borrower, except in connection with the ownership of stock of publicly-traded companies (but not exceeding 2% of the outstanding capital stock of any such company). No employee, officer, director or member of his or her immediate family or, to Borrower’s knowledge, stockholder of Borrower or member of his or her immediate family or any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with any of the foregoing persons, is, directly or indirectly, interested in any material contract with Borrower (other than such contracts as relate to any such person’s ownership of capital stock or other securities of Borrower or employment by Borrower).

          Section 3.23. Environmental and Safety Laws. Borrower is in compliance with all applicable environmental Laws, rules and regulations except for noncompliance that, individually or in the aggregate, would not or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

          Section 5.11. Further Assurances; Access. The Frost Group and Borrower will from time to time and at all times hereafter make, do, execute, or cause or procure to be made, done and executed such further acts, deeds, conveyances, consents and assurances without further consideration, which may reasonably be required to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon reasonable written notice, Borrower shall afford the officers, employees and authorized agents and representatives of the Frost Group reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the offices, properties, books, records and such additional financial and operating data and other information regarding the assets, goodwill and business of the Borrower as the Frost Group may from time to time reasonably request.
          Section 5.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and all exhibits hereto and thereto constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and no party will be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein.
          Section 5.13. Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, or upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, will impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor will it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor will any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and will be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, will be cumulative and not alternative.

          Section 5.16. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement is deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
