This Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made on September 11, 2008, between GelTech Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), and Michael Reger (the “Lender”).


WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to obtain from the Lender a revolving line of credit (the “Loan”) and the Lender is willing to make the Loan, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein

contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower shall have the right to obtain Advances, repay Advances and obtain additional Advances; provided, however, all of the Advances hereunder shall be viewed as a single loan; provided, further, at no time shall the unpaid outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceed $1,000,000.00 (“Maximum Amount”).


2.

 Advances.  The Lender shall make Advances of the Loan upon the written request of the Borrower to the Lender and the Lender shall make such Advance to the Borrower in U.S. dollars and readily available funds within 15 days of the Lender’s receipt of such request by the Borrower (the “Advance Request”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall such Advance, or in the aggregate each Advance, exceed the Maximum Amount.  Each Advance shall be evidenced by the Note (as defined below). The Borrower shall be permitted to obtain Advances and the Lender shall be obligated to make such Advances up until the earlier of (1) an Event of  Default or (2) one month prior to the Maturity Date (as defined below) of this Agreement.  The principal amount of all Advances not prepaid, and all accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts due hereunder, shall be due and payab le on September 15, 2009 (the "Maturity Date").

4.

Promissory Notes.   The Loan shall be evidenced by one or more separate promissory notes for each Advance (the “Note”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, payable in accordance with the terms thereof.

Unless payment thereof is accelerated or otherwise becomes due earlier under the terms of this Agreement or the terms of the Note, the unpaid principal amount of all Loans and all unpaid interest accrued thereon, together with any other fees, expenses or costs incurred in connection there with, will be immediately due and payable to Lender on the Maturity Date.

For value received, the undersigned GelTech Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Michael Reger (the “Holder”) the principal sum ______________________  ($________________) or, if less, the then unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Advances (as defined in that certain Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, dated September___, 2008, between the Company and the Holder (the “Loan Agreement”)) made by the Holder pursuant to the Loan Agreement (the “Principal Balance”) on or before September 15, 2009.


This Note is issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement. All capitalized terms used

and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Loan Agreement.


The Company promises to repay the Advance which this Note evidences and as further set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Company further promises to pay interest from the date hereof on the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Advance at the rate set forth in the Loan Agreement.   Interest shall be computed as provided in the Loan Agreement and shall be due at the same time the Principal Balance is due.


This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.  Any prepayment must include all accrued interest to the date of prepayment. Any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary) shall be applied in the same order as provided above, and the acceptance of any such prepayment when there is a default under this Note shall not constitute a waiver, release or accord and satisfaction thereof or any rights held by the Holder.


Upon any Event of Default, the Holder may, without notice or demand, declare the then outstanding Principal Balance and all outstanding interest immediately due and payable and shall then have in any jurisdiction where enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to any other rights or remedies, the rights and remedies set forth in the Loan Agreement.


This Note shall be in default when payment shall not have been made within 10 days following the Maturity Date.  This Note shall remain in default until said payment shall have been made.

No provision hereof shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal hereof and interest, if any, herein at the time and place specified herein.


The rights and remedies of the Holder shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued separately or successively, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise.  Failure to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release thereof.


The Company hereby waives presentment for payment, notice of demand, notice of non-payment or dishonor, protest, notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of payment of this Note, and hereby waives all notice or right of approval of any extensions, renewals, or modifications or forbearance which may be allowed.


Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the interest rate shall be increased to 15% from the date of the Event of Default as set forth in the Loan Agreement.


This Note shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.


The Company agrees that: (a) the obligation evidenced by this Note is an exempted transaction under the Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 1601, et seq.; (b) said obligation constitutes a business loan for the purpose of the application of any laws that distinguish between consumer loans and business loans and that have as their purpose the protection of consumers; (c) the proceeds of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note will not be used for the purchase of registered equity securities within the purview of Regulation “U” issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; and (d) upon demand or upon the due date if no demand is made, the Holder shall not have any obligation to refinance the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or to extend further credit to the Company.


The Company and the Holder, as an independent covenant, irrevocably waive the right to a jury trial and the right thereto in any and all disputes between the Company and such holder hereunder.

Upon any endorsement, assignment, or other transfer of this Note by the Holder or by operation of law, the term “Holder,” as used herein, shall mean such endorsee, assignee, or other transferee or successor to the Holder, then becoming the holder of this Note.  This Note shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the undersigned and their successors and assigns.  The term “Company” as used herein, shall include the respective successors and assigns of the Company and any other obligor.


All makers and endorsers now or hereafter becoming parties hereto jointly and severally waive demand, presentment, notice of non-payment and protest and, if this Note becomes in default and is placed into the hands of an attorney for collection, to pay attorney’s fees and all other costs incurred in connection with such collection provided the Holder is the prevailing party.  



2








Any provision hereof found to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder hereof.


This Note was reviewed by all of the parties hereto who fully understand the terms and consequences of this Note and have been duly advised by their counsel concerning all aspects of the transactions contemplated herein.


This Note may not be amended, modified, changed or discharged orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by both the Company and the Holder.
