2.	THE CREDIT FACILITY.

2.1. The Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make Advances to Borrower from time to time during the Loan Term; provided that, immediately after each Advance is made, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Advances shall not exceed the Commitment; provided further that each Advance shall be in the amount of $500,000 or any larger multiple of $500,000. Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advance if doing so would, after giving effect thereto, cause the Advances made to exceed the Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, Borrower may borrow Advances under this Section, repay or prepay Advances and reborrow any principal amounts under the Commitment at any time before the Termination Date. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Advances only for its working capital, general corporate purposes, development of Borrower’s proprietary exchangeable heart valve system, closing costs in respect of Lender’s counsel’s fees up to $25,000, closing costs in respect of the Equity Raise up to $50,000, and other fees and expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to Section 10.3(a) hereof; provided that in no event shall proceeds of the Advances be used to finance (whether directly or indirectly) any Permitted Acquisitions.

2.2. The Notes.

(a) Closing Note. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender the Closing Note, which Closing Note, together with Lender’s records, shall evidence the Advances and interest accruing thereon.

(b) PIK Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained herein, on each Interest Payment Date, in the event Borrower elects to pay a portion of the interest due on the Notes in kind pursuant to Section 2.3(a), then Borrower will issue to Lender a PIK Note on such date, which PIK Note shall (i) be in the original principal amount of the PIK Amount then due on such date and (ii) be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 hereto and appropriately completed in conformity herewith. The failure of Borrower to execute a PIK Note shall not discharge the obligation of Borrower to pay the principal and interest due on the Notes.

2.3. Interest.

(a) Agreement to Pay Interest. Borrower shall pay interest on all unpaid principal amounts of the Notes from the respective date each Advance is made and the date of each PIK Note, as applicable, until the Loan is paid in full (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, or otherwise), at the rate of interest set forth herein below on each Interest Payment Date and on the Termination Date or, if applicable, the Term-Out Maturity Date. On each Interest Payment Date, interest on the principal amount of the Notes that shall have accrued and remain unpaid as of such date (for any such date, a “PIK Amount”) shall be paid by Borrower on such date either in cash or by the issuance of a PIK Note.

(b) Interest Rate: The Notes shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to eight percent (8.00%).

(c) All interest on the Loan and on all other Obligations shall be calculated on the presumed basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days elapsed.

(d) Default Rate. At Lender’s option, during the existence of any Event of Default, the principal amount of all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In any event, the Default Rate shall automatically and without notice to Borrower apply from the time the Obligations have become due and payable under Section 9.2 (whether because of Lender’s exercising its right to accelerate the Obligations under Section 9.2 or because the Obligations have automatically become due and payable under Section 9.2) until the Obligations or any judgment thereon are paid in full.

-10-

2.4. [Reserved].

2.5. Requests for Borrowings.

(a) Making Requests for New Advances. Each request for the making of a new Advance shall be in writing, and Borrower shall submit a Notice of Borrowing therefor. Each request shall specify (i) the date for the making of the applicable Advance, which date must be a Business Day; (ii) the principal amount of the applicable Advance to be made; (iii) lawful instructions for the disbursement of the proceeds of such Advance; and (iv) such other information Lender may require from time to time.

(b) Timing and Acceptance of Requests. Requests made under this Section 2.5 are irrevocable. Requests under this Section 2.5 which Lender receives after 11:00 a.m. (Atlanta, Georgia, time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Lender’s acceptance of a request for the making of a new Advance under this Section 2.5 shall be indicated by its making the Advance requested. Lender shall make such Advances in immediately available funds on the date that is three (3) Business Days after it receives or is deemed to have received the request therefor.

2.6. [Reserved].

2.7. Repayment of Loan.

(a) Repayment of Obligations Generally. Borrower shall pay all outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest under the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Agreement.

(b) Final Repayment of Loan.

(i) All outstanding principal of the Loan shall be due and payable on the Termination Date, or if applicable, the Term-Out Maturity Date.

(ii) Interest accrued on the Loan shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the, or if applicable, the Term-Out Maturity Date.

(iii) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall thereafter (unless and until otherwise notified by Lender) promptly repay the principal amount of the Loan.

(c) Optional Prepayments of Loan. From time to time, Borrower may prepay the principal amount of the Loan, in whole or in part, on one Business Days’ written notice. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and must be in writing. Each prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000. Lender shall apply each prepayment on the Loan first to accrued but unpaid interest thereon, second to the PIK Notes, and then to installments of principal in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.

(e) Mandatory Prepayments of Loan. Borrower shall prepay the principal balance of the Loan promptly upon (i) a Change in Control or (ii) receipt of, and in an amount equal to, the Net Proceeds in excess of $100,000 received with respect to (A) any real property or Equipment, except to the extent otherwise permitted under Section 6.3(b) or Section 7.12(d), and (B) any issuance of Debt of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than Debt permitted by and set forth in Section 7.1(a) and

-11-

7.1(d) hereof. Nothing in this subsection constitutes Lender’s consent to any disposition of any Equipment or real property or issuance of Debt. Lender shall apply any payments made under this subsection to any accrued interest on the Loan and then to principal of the Loan or in such other order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.

2.8. Additional Payment Provisions. Borrower shall pay Lender the amount owing in respect of any Obligations under the Loan Documents on the terms set forth in the Loan Documents, or, if no date of payment is otherwise specified in the Loan Documents, ON DEMAND.

(a) Time and Location of Payment. Borrower shall make each payment of principal of and interest and other Obligations which are due and payable not later than 12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia, time) on the date due, without set-off, counterclaim, or other deduction, in immediately available funds to Lender at its address referred to in Section 10.4. If any payment of any Obligations shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due and payable the next Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such time.

2.9. Statement of Account. If Lender provides Borrower with a statement of account on a periodic basis, each such statement will be binding on Borrower unless, within 45 days of its receipt, Borrower objects in writing and with specificity to such statement.

2.10. Early Termination by Borrower. Borrower may terminate this Agreement before the Stated Termination Date, in whole but not in part, by giving Lender 10 days prior written notice, (a) on any date after December 31, 2012 or (b) if during the prior 30 days, (i) Lender has refused to make an Advance on the basis that it deems itself insecure under Section 4.2(f) or (ii) Lender was unable to fund a requested Advance otherwise meeting the requirements of Section 4.2; provided, however, that no termination by Borrower shall be effective until Lender shall have received indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations.

2.11. Term-Out Option by Lender. At any time after December 31, 2015, Lender may terminate its Commitment without cause, provided that it shall have given Borrower 30 days’ prior notice of such Termination Date under this Section 2.11. Upon such, the Loan shall become a term loan, which shall be due and payable in full on the date that is one year after such Termination Date (the “Term-Out Maturity Date”); it being understood that after such Termination Date, Borrower may no longer request, and Lender is no longer obligated to make, new Advances and Borrower shall no longer have the option to issue PIK Notes in lieu of cash payment for accrued interest.

If Lender exercises its option to term-out under this Section, the Loan shall be considered a term loan as of the specified Termination Date, which shall be due and payable in full on the Term-Out Maturity Date and interest shall continue to accrue on the Loan in accordance with the terms of Section 2.3. For avoidance of doubt, if Lender exercises its term-out rights under this Section, all Obligations shall be due and payable on the Term-Out Maturity Date.

3.	SECURITY AGREEMENT.

3.1. Security Interest.

(a) As security for the full and final payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Lender (for itself and its Affiliates) a continuing security interest in and to all right, title, and interest of Borrower in and to the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Borrower.

-12-

(b) Except as expressly required by the Security Agreements or applicable law, Lender shall have no obligation to (i) exercise any degree of care in connection with any Collateral in its possession or (ii) take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral or to preserve any rights in the Collateral against senior or prior parties (which steps Borrower agrees to take). In any case, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care of the Collateral if Lender takes such steps for the care and preservation of the Collateral or rights therein as Borrower reasonably requests Lender to take; provided that Lender’s omission to take any action not requested by Borrower shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender’s segregation or specific allocation of specified items of Collateral against any of Borrower’s liabilities shall not waive or affect any Lien against other items of Collateral or any of Lender’s options, powers, or rights under this Agreement or otherwise arising.

(c) Lender may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, with or without notice to Borrower, (i) transfer any of the Collateral into the name of Lender or the name of Lender’s nominee, (ii) notify any Account Debtor or other obligor with respect to any of the Collateral to make payment of any amounts due or to become due thereon directly to Lender, and (iii) receive and direct the disposition of any proceeds of any Collateral. All proceeds of Collateral shall be applied first to interest, then to principal, or in whatever order Lender shall determine.

(d) Any term or provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Account, Instrument, Chattel Paper, or other obligation or property of any kind due from, owed by, or belonging to, a Sanctioned Person or (ii) any lease under which the lessee is a Sanctioned Person shall be Collateral or shall be credited toward the payment of the Obligations.

(e) Unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate Security Document, the Collateral shall not include more than 66-2/3% of any voting Equity Interests (as contemplated in Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) issued to Borrower by any “controlled foreign corporation” (as such term is defined in Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code).

3.2. Financing Statements; Fixture Filings; Power of Attorney. Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statements (and other similar filings or public records or notices relating to the perfection of Liens), fixture filings, and amendments thereto relating to the Collateral which Lender deems appropriate, in form and substance required by Lender, and to (a) describe the Collateral thereon (i) as “all personal property of the debtor,” “all assets,” or words of similar effect, if appropriate and permitted by applicable law, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law, or (ii) by specific collateral category and (b) include therein all other information which is required by Article 9 of the UCC or other applicable law with respect to the preparation or filing of a financing statement (or other similar filings or public records or notices relating to the perfection of Liens), fixture filing, or amendment. Borrower appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to perform all acts which Lender deems appropriate to perfect and to continue perfection of the Lien granted to Lender under any Security Agreement, including, without limitation, (x) the filing of financing statements (and other similar filings or public records or notices relating to the perfection of Liens), fixture filings, and amendments, (y) at any time that an Event of Default exists, the execution in Borrower’s name of any agreements providing for Control over any applicable Collateral, and (z) at any time that Event of Default exists, the endorsement, presentation, and collection on behalf of Borrower and in Borrower’s name of any Items or other documents necessary or desirable to collect any amounts which Borrower may be owed, such power of attorney being coupled with an interest and therefore irrevocable. Borrower grants Lender a non-exclusive license and right to use at any time that an Event of Default exists, without royalty or other charge, Borrower’s intellectual

-13-

and other property (including, without limitation, any licensed intellectual property, unless prohibited by the enforceable terms of such license) for purposes of advertising any Collateral for sale, collecting any Accounts, disposing of or liquidating any Collateral, settling claims, or otherwise exercising any of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, labels, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, product line names, advertising materials, and any other property of a similar nature). Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit. Borrower shall be liable for any and all reasonable and actual expense incurred in connection with Lender’s exercising its rights under this Section 3.2.

3.3. Entry. Borrower irrevocably consents to Lender or its agents entering upon any premises for the purposes of either (a) inspecting any Collateral, when a Default or Event of Default exists, or (b) taking possession of any Collateral, without breach of the peace, at any time that an Event of Default exists. Borrower waives, as to Lender and its agents, any now existing or hereafter arising claim based upon trespass or any similar cause of action for entering upon any premises where Collateral may be located.

3.4. Other Rights. Without limiting Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, Borrower authorizes Lender from time to time (a) to (i) exchange, enforce, or release Collateral or any part thereof, and (ii) release or substitute any endorser or any party who has granted Lender any security interest in any property as security for the payment of the Obligations or any part thereof or any party in any way obligated to pay the Obligations or any part thereof, and (b) during the existence of any Event of Default, to direct the manner of the disposition of the Collateral and the enforcement of any endorsements or other security or Supporting Obligations relating to the Obligations or any part thereof as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine.

3.5. Accounts. After the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Lender may contact any Account Debtor (a) to ensure such Account Debtor is directing payments on Borrower’s Accounts to a lockbox, (b) to direct such Account Debtor to make payment directly to Lender, a lockbox, and (c) to notify such Account Debtor of the existence of Lender’s Liens under the Security Agreements.

3.6. Waiver of Marshaling. Borrower hereby waives any right it may have to require marshaling of its assets.

3.7. Control; Further Assurances. Borrower will, at its expense and upon Lender’s request, cooperate with Lender in (a) obtaining Control of, or Control agreements with respect to, Collateral for which Control or a Control agreement is required for perfection of Lender’s security interest under the UCC and (b) perfecting Lender’s Lien in the Collateral, including but not limited to (i) making any filings and taking steps to perfect Lender’s security interest in any Collateral that is subject to the jurisdiction of a foreign county, including but not limited to Patents and Trademarks (as each is defined in the IP Security Agreement), and (ii) obtaining Third Party Agreements as to the consent of any licensor or licensee (other than The Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Regents of the University of Colorado) to Lender’s security interest in any Patents, Trademarks or other Collateral described in this Agreement or the IP Security Agreement.

Unless otherwise specified, such representations and warranties shall be deemed made as of the date hereof and as of the date of each request for an Advance or extension of credit hereunder:

5.1. Valid Existence and Power. Borrower is a corporation, limited liability company, or limited partnership, as applicable, duly incorporated, organized, or formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of Delaware, the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization, or formation and is duly qualified or licensed to transact business in all places where the failure to be so qualified could reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Borrower and each other Person which is a party to any Loan Document (other than Lender) has the power to make and perform the Loan Documents executed by it and all Loan Documents will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligations of such Person, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to bankruptcy and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

5.2. Authority. The execution, delivery, and performance thereof by Borrower and each other Person (other than Lender) executing any Loan Document have been duly authorized by all necessary actions of such Person, and do not and will not violate any provision of law or regulation, or any writ, order, or decree of any Governmental Entity or any provision of the governing instruments of such Person, and do not and will not, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any property or assets of such Person pursuant to, any law, regulation, instrument, or agreement to which any such Person is a party or by which any such Person or its respective properties may be subject, bound, or affected.

5.3. Financial Condition. Other than as disclosed in financial statements delivered to Lender on or before the Closing Date or on Schedule 5.3, attached hereto and made a part hereof, Borrower has no material direct or contingent obligations or liabilities or any material unrealized or anticipated losses from any commitments of such Person. As of the Closing Date, all material operating and capital leases under which Borrower is lessee are disclosed in the financial statements delivered to Lender on or before the Closing Date or on Schedule 5.3. All financial statements from time to time delivered to Lender by

-17-

Borrower shall have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the financial condition of such Person as of the date thereof. Since the date of the most recent financial statements delivered to Lender, no event has occurred that has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is Solvent and, after consummation of the transactions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, will be Solvent.

5.4. Litigation. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.4, attached hereto and made a part hereof, there are no suits, claims, investigations or proceedings pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened by or before any Governmental Entity against or affecting Borrower, any Key Employee, or its assets, which if adversely determined could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.5. Agreements, Etc. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any order or decree of any Governmental Entity or any charter or other corporate restriction, materially adversely affecting its business, assets, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise), nor is Borrower in default in the performance, observance, or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants, or conditions contained in any Material Agreement to which it is a party, or any law, regulation, decree, order, or the like to which it is subject.

5.6. Authorizations. All authorizations, consents, permits, approvals, and licenses required under applicable law for the ownership or operation of the property owned or operated by Borrower or for the conduct of any business in which it is engaged have been duly issued and are in full force and effect, and it is not in default, nor has any event occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, under any of the terms or provisions of any part thereof, or under any order, decree, ruling, regulation, closing agreement or other decision or instrument of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over such Person, which default would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Person. Except as noted herein, no approval, consent or authorization of, or filing or registration with, any governmental commission, bureau or other regulatory authority or agency is required with respect to the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document.

5.7. Title. Borrower has good title to all of the assets shown in its financial statements free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Liens. Borrower alone has full ownership rights in all Collateral.

5.8. Collateral.

(a) The security interests granted to Lender herein and pursuant to any other Security Agreement (i) constitute and, as to subsequently acquired property included in the Collateral covered by the Security Agreement, will constitute, security interests under the UCC entitled to all of the rights, benefits, and, if perfected, priorities provided by the UCC and (ii) are and, as to such subsequently acquired Collateral, will be fully perfected, superior, and prior to the rights of all third persons, now existing or hereafter arising, upon the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement (with respect to all Collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement) other than Permitted Liens. All of the Collateral is intended for use solely in Borrower’s business.

(a) Lender may declare any or all Obligations to be immediately due and payable (if not earlier demanded) (provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 9.1(h) or 9.1(i), all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable), terminate its obligation to make Advances and other extensions of credit to Borrower, bring suit against Borrower to collect the Obligations, exercise any remedy available to Lender hereunder or at law, and take any action or exercise any remedy provided herein or in any other Loan Document or under applicable law.

(c) Lender may demand, collect, and sue for all amounts owed pursuant to Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper, Instruments, or Documents or for proceeds of any Collateral (either in Borrower’s name or Lender’s name at Lender’s option), with the right to enforce, compromise, settle, or discharge any such amounts.

10.

MISCELLANEOUS.

10.1. No Waiver, Remedies Cumulative.

The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are in addition to any other remedies provided by applicable law, any Loan Document, or otherwise.

-31-

10.5. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed contracts made under the laws of the State of Georgia and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia (excluding its conflict of laws provisions if such provisions would require application of the laws of another jurisdiction) except insofar as (a) the laws of another jurisdiction may, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, govern the perfection, priority, or enforcement of security interests in the Collateral or (b) the terms of such Loan Document expressly state that the law of a different jurisdiction shall govern.

10.6. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that Borrower may not assign any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender, and any such assignment made without such consent will be void in all respects.

10.7. Counterparts; Telecopied Signatures. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, or consents relating hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto or thereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Any signature delivered by a party hereto or to any amendment, waiver, or consent relating hereto by facsimile transmission or by electronic email shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

10.8. No Usury. Regardless of any other provision of this Agreement, the Note, or in any other Loan Document, if for any reason the effective rate of interest payable hereunder or thereunder should

-33-

exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest, the effective rate of interest shall be deemed reduced to, and shall be, such maximum lawful rate of interest. Any amount paid to or collected by Lender as interest which would be in excess of the amount permitted by applicable law shall be deemed applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and not to the payment of interest, but if such Obligations have been or are thereby paid in full, the excess shall be returned to the Person paying same, such application to the principal balance of the Obligations or the refunding of excess to be a complete settlement and acquittance thereof.

10.9. Powers. All powers of attorney granted to Lender are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable.

10.10. Approvals; Amendments. If this Agreement calls for Lender’s approval or consent, such approval or consent may be given or withheld in the reasonable discretion of Lender unless otherwise specified herein. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may not be modified, altered, or amended, except by an agreement in writing signed by Borrower and Lender.

10.11. Assignments. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The rights of Lender hereunder are not assignable without the Borrower’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except to any Affiliate of Lender; provided, however, that Borrower’s consent shall not be required if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default. The rights and obligation of the Borrower hereunder may not be assigned under any circumstances.

10.12. Dealings with Multiple Borrowers. If more than one Person is a Borrower hereunder, all Obligations, representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities set forth in the Loan Documents to which such Person is a party shall be joint and several. Lender shall have the right to deal with any individual of any Borrower with regard to all matters concerning the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and pursuant to applicable law with regard to the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. All actions or inactions of the officers, managers, members, or agents of any Borrower with regard to the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents shall be deemed with full authority and binding upon all Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby appoints each other Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full right and power, for purposes of exercising all rights of such Person hereunder and under applicable law with regard to the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 10.12 and Lender’s reliance thereon are material inducements to the agreement of Lender to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.13. Waiver of Certain Defenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, neither Borrower nor anyone claiming by or under Borrower will claim or seek to take advantage of any law requiring Lender to attempt to realize upon any Collateral, or any appraisement, evaluation, stay, extension, homestead, redemption, or exemption laws now or hereafter in force to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Agreement. Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under Borrower, hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the benefit of all such laws. All rights of Lender and all obligations of Borrower hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any provision of the Loan Documents, (b) any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any other collateral given as security for the Obligations, or

-34-

any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty for all or any of the Obligations, or (c) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any third party, other than payment and performance in full of the Obligations.

10.14. Additional Provisions. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any Governmental Entity by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured, drafted or dictated such provision.

10.15. Integration; Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all other instruments, agreements, and certificates executed by the parties in connection therewith or with reference thereto, embody the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and inducements, whether express or implied, oral or written. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

10.16. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY; WAIVER OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO, INCLUDING LENDER BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES THAT, IN ANY JUDICIAL, MEDIATION, OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING OR ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM (A “DISPUTE”) THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF OR BE IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM OR THE OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCED HEREBY OR RELATED HERETO, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY HAVE A REMEDY OF, OR BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR, (a) INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR (b) PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR CLAIM TO PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES THEY MAY HAVE OR WHICH MAY ARISE IN THE FUTURE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION, MEDIATION, JUDICIALLY, OR OTHERWISE.

10.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF BORROWER BY EXECUTION HEREOF AND LENDER BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT HERETO. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES THAT THE TERMS HEREOF SHALL SUPERSEDE AND REPLACE ANY PRIOR AGREEMENT RELATED TO ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES CONTAINED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT HERETOFORE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO OR BEING REPLACED, SUPPLEMENTED, EXTENDED OR MODIFIED BY, THIS AGREEMENT.

10.18. Submission to Jurisdiction, Venue.

(a) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be brought in the courts of the State of Georgia in Cobb County or of the United States for the Northern District of Georgia, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower

-35-

irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and agrees to be bound by the other provisions set forth in this Section 10.18. Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at the address set out for notices pursuant to Section 10.4. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or to otherwise proceed against Borrower or any guarantor or surety of the Obligations in any other jurisdiction.

(b) Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to in subsection (a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

10.19. Credit Inquiries. Borrower hereby authorizes and permits Lender, at its discretion and without any obligation to do so, to respond to credit inquiries from third parties concerning Borrower.

10.20. Information. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Lender from disclosing confidential information provided by Borrower from time to time (a) to any of Lender’s Affiliates, or any of Lender’s or any of its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents, or advisors, (b) as required by any law, rule, or regulation, (c) upon the order, request or demand of any Governmental Entity, (d) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available to Lender other than as a result of a disclosure by Lender prohibited by this Agreement, (e) in connection with any litigation to which Lender or any of its Affiliates may be a party, whether to defend itself, reduce its liability, protect or exercise any of its claims, rights, remedies or interests under or in connection with the Loan Documents, or otherwise, (f) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (g) to any actual or proposed assignee.

10.21. No Tax Advice. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to all tax and accounting matters relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated herein and therein, it has not relied on any representations made, consultation provided by, or advice given or rendered by Lender or Lender’s representatives, agents, or employees, and, instead, Borrower has sought, and relied upon, the advice of its own tax and accounting professionals with respect to all such matters.
