or hereafter arising, is made upon and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Note evidencing such Loan, the Security
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and this Agreement. The terms,
conditions, representations, warranties and covenants set forth in
this Agreement are in addition to, and not in limitation of, the

VERICHIP LOAN AGREEMENT
Page 3
hereby (i) agrees to cause to be assigned,
transferred and delivered to the Borrower collateral under the Loan
Documents held by the Lender under the Loan Documents,
(ii) agrees to execute and deliver to the Borrower such
instruments of satisfaction and other documents as shall be
reasonably requested by the Borrower to terminate of record such
liens, pledges, charges, security interests or other encumbrances
and (iii) authorizes the Borrower to file any applicable UCC
termination statements or release statements to terminate of record
such liens, pledges, charges, security interests or other

V. SECURITY. Each of the Loans and all other Obligations of
the Borrower to the Lender, whether now existing or hereafter
arising, shall, at all times, be secured by first priority
perfected security interests, as required by this Agreement and the
Security Agreement, in the Collateral (as hereinafter defined),
which security interests shall continue until payment in full of
all amounts outstanding under said Loans and the other Obligations.
If this Agreement is executed below by a guarantor or guarantors
(collectively the “Guarantors”), then the full and
punctual payment and performance of the Loans and all other
Obligations of Borrower shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors
pursuant to one or more guaranty agreements (collectively the
“Guaranty”). The term “Collateral” as used
herein shall be deemed to include all property and assets of the
Borrower and Guarantors secured, mortgaged, pledged, assigned or
otherwise encumbered or covered by any of the Loan Documents,
including, but not limited to, the Security Agreement. The Borrower
and the Guarantor covenant and agree to take such further actions
and to execute such additional documents as may be reasonably
necessary from time to time to enable the Lender to obtain and
maintain the security interests and liens arising under the Loan
Documents. If the Collateral includes accounts and account
receivables of Borrower, then, in addition to such other rights and
remedies as are provided the Lender under the Loan Documents, the
Borrower agrees that Lender may communicate with account debtors in
order to verify the existence, amount and terms of any such
accounts and account receivables. Lender may notify account debtors
of the Lender’s security interest and require that payments
on accounts and account receivables be made directly to Lender, and
upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall notify account debtors
and indicate on all billings that payments and returns are to be
made directly to Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as attorney with full power to
collect, compromise, endorse, sell or otherwise deal with the
Borrower’s accounts and account receivables or proceeds
thereof and to perform the terms of any contract in order to create
accounts and account receivables in Lender’s name or in the
name of Borrower.
VI. SUBORDINATION AND STANDBY OF
DEBT. The Borrower and
Guarantors covenant and agree that all existing debt of Borrower to
Guarantors and all future debt, if permitted hereunder from
Borrower to Guarantors, shall be and hereby is, without need for
further writing, made subject and subordinate to the prior payment
and performance of all the Loans and other Obligations of Borrower.
The Guarantors further covenant and agree that any claims against
the Borrower (or against each other or any other guarantor of the
Loans), individually or jointly, to which the Guarantors may become
entitled (including, without limitation, claims by subrogation or
otherwise by reason of any payment or performance by the
Guarantors, individually or jointly, in satisfaction and discharge,
in whole or in part, of his or their obligations under the
Guaranty) shall be and hereby are, without need for further
writing, subject and subordinate to the payment and performance in
full of all of the Loans and other Obligations due the Lender. In
furtherance of the foregoing, the Borrower and Guarantors shall
provide such subordinations, certificates and other documents and
shall mark its corporate books, records, stock certificates and
ledgers as the Lender may reasonably request from time to time, in
form and substance satisfactory to Lender and Lender’s
counsel, evidencing the subordination of all debt of Borrower to
Guarantors, whether now existing or hereafter arising, in
accordance with the covenants of Borrower and Guarantors
hereunder.

deliver the Loan Documents and to incur the obligations provided
for herein and in the Loan Documents, all of which have been duly
authorized by all proper and necessary corporate or other action.
The persons executing the Loan Documents on behalf of the Borrower
and the Guarantors have been duly authorized to do so.
C. Binding Agreement . This
Agreement and the Loan Documents constitute the valid and legally
binding obligations of the Borrower and Guarantors, enforceable in
accordance with their terms.
D. Litigation . There are no
suits or proceedings of any kind or nature pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower and Guarantors, threatened against or
affecting the Borrower or the Guarantors or their assets which, if
adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or business of the Borrower or the Guarantors
and which have not been disclosed in writing to the
Lender.
E. Conflicting Agreements;
Consents . There is no charter, bylaw or preference stock of
the Borrower or the Guarantors and no provision(s) of any existing
mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement binding on the Borrower

with, have a material adverse effect upon, or in any way prevent
the execution, delivery or performance of the terms of this
Agreement or the Loan Documents. Neither the Borrower nor the
Guarantors is required to obtain any order, consent, approval,

are no liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, of the
Borrower or the Guarantors which are not reflected in the financial

released, discharged, disposed, placed or otherwise caused to be
