No course of delay on the part of the Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the right of the Lender. No remedy conferred hereby shall be exclusive of any other remedy referred to herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute

3

or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender agrees that its rights and remedies hereunder are limited to receipt of cash or shares of the Company’s common stock in the amounts described herein.

9. Parties in Interest; Transferability. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and the terms hereof shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and permitted assigns.

10. Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified or amended in any manner except in writing executed by the Company and the Lender.

11. Notices. Any notice, demand, request, waiver or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be effective (a) upon hand delivery by telecopy or facsimile at the address or number designated below (if delivered on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received), or the first business day following such delivery (if delivered other than on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received) or (b) on the second business day following the date of mailing by express courier service, fully prepaid, addressed to such address, or upon actual receipt of such mailing, whichever shall first occur.

12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions.

The remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit a Lender’s right to pursue actual damages

4

for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Loan. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable and material harm to the Lender and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Therefore the Company agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Lender shall be entitled, in addition to all other available rights and remedies, at law or in equity, to seek and obtain such equitable relief, including but not limited to an injunction restraining any such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

15. Failure or Delay Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

16. Binding Effect. The obligations of the Company and the Lender set forth herein shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each such party.

17. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall not in any manner affect such provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

18. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Company and the Lender (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in Salt Lake City, Utah for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Lender consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address set forth in Section 11 hereof and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 18 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

19. Waivers. No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising its rights under this Agreement, or course of conduct relating hereto, shall operate as a waiver of such rights or any other right of the Lender, nor shall any waiver by the Lender of any such right or rights on any one occasion be deemed a waiver of the same right or rights on any future occasion.
