2. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT.

 

A. On the terms and subject to the satisfaction by Debtor of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender, jointly and severally, agrees to make the Loan to Debtor, which Loan will be in the form of Advances made from time to time as provided in this Agreement. The outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loan shall not exceed the Maximum Loan Amount at any time. So long as no event has occurred which is, or with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both under the Loan Documents would constitute, an Event of Default or an Acceleration Event, Debtor may borrow, prepay and reborrow, from the Effective Date until the Maturity Date, an amount up to the Maximum Loan Amount. Debtor shall not request an Advance in an amount less than $250,000 and no more than once in a calendar month.

 

B. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Debtor shall execute and deliver to the Lender the Note. The obligation of Debtor to pay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Advances plus accrued interest thereon shall be evidenced by the Note. Debtor irrevocably authorizes Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of any Advance or at the time of Lender’s receipt of any payment of the principal amount of the Note, an appropriate notation in Lender’s records reflecting the amount of such Advance or payment, as applicable. The outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Note plus accrued interest thereon set forth in Lender’s records maintained with respect to the Note (which may include computer records) shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the outstanding aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest thereon due and owing to Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on Lender’s records shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Debtor under the Note to make payments when due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Debtor agrees to execute such amendments to the Note, amendments and restatements of the Note and/or substitute and/or additional promissory notes in the form of the Note as Lender may reasonably request to evidence Debtor’s obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents.

 

C. Debtor shall notify Lender at least three Business Days before the Business Day on which Debtor desires to receive an Advance. Each such notice shall be in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (each, a “Notice”), and shall set forth the requested amount of each Advance and such other information required by the Notice. Each Notice shall constitute a certification by Debtor that the representations and warranties of Debtor set forth in the Loan Documents, are true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date of such Notice and as of the date of such requested Advance and that Debtor has satisfied each of the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement. Lender’s obligation to fund each Advance shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent as of the date of the requested Advance:

 

(i) no event shall have occurred which is, or with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both under the Loan Documents would constitute, an Event of Default or an Acceleration Event;

 

(ii) Debtor shall be in compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Section 5;

 

(iii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with the amount of the requested Advance, must not exceed the Maximum Loan Amount; and

 

(iv) there shall have been no material adverse change in Debtor’s business, operations, assets or financial condition since the Effective Date, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.

 

Upon Debtor’s satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, Lender will disburse the requested Advance in immediately available funds to such account as Debtor shall have specified in the Notice or as otherwise directed by Debtor in the Notice.

 

D. The Loan shall bear interest at a rate of interest of 10% per annum, as set forth in the Note and shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month based on the then outstanding principal balance of the Note. Debtor shall have the right to prepay (without premium or penalty) the Note in whole or in part at any time. Debtor shall pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon.

 

E. All costs and expenses of the transaction described in this Agreement shall be paid by Debtor, including, without limitation, the attorneys’ fees of Debtor.

 

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LENDER. The representations and warranties of each Lender contained in this Section are being made by each Lender, severally and not jointly, as of the Effective Date to induce Debtor to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated herein, and Debtor has relied, and will continue to rely, upon such representations and warranties from and after the execution of this Agreement.

E. Maintenance of Assets. Debtor shall maintain, keep and preserve, and will cause each Subsidiary to maintain, keep and preserve, all of its tangible and intangible property and other assets that are necessary and useful in proper conduct of its business.

 

6. TRANSACTION CHARACTERIZATION. This Agreement is a contract to extend a financial accommodation (as such term is used in the Code) for the benefit of Debtor. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the business relationship created by this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents is solely that of creditor and debtor and has been entered into by both parties in reliance upon the economic and legal bargains contained in the Loan Documents.

 

None of the agreements contained in the Loan Documents is intended, nor shall the same be deemed or construed, to create a partnership between Debtor and Lender, to make them joint venturers, to make Debtor an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary or employee of Lender, nor to make Lender in any way responsible for the debts, obligations or losses of Debtor.

 

7. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. A. Each of the following shall be deemed an event of default by Debtor, after notice, to the extent required hereunder, and after the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period without the cure thereof (each, an “Event of Default”):

 

A If any representation or warranty of Debtor set forth in any of the Loan Documents is false in any material respect when made or becomes false in any material respect, or if Debtor renders any materially false statement or account;

 

B If any principal, interest or other monetary sum due under the Note or any other Loan Document is not paid within five days from the date when due and Lender shall have given notice of such failure to Debtor and such failure shall not have been cured by Debtor within five days from the delivery of such notice;

 

C If Debtor fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants (except as otherwise provided below), conditions, or obligations of this Agreement  or there is a breach or default under any other Loan Document beyond any applicable notice or cure period; provided, however, if any such event does not involve the payment of any monetary sum, is not the result of a willful or intentional act or omission of Debtor, does not place any rights or property of Lender in immediate jeopardy, and is within the reasonable power of Debtor to promptly cure after receipt of notice thereof, all as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, then such event shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, unless and until Lender shall have given Debtor notice thereof and a period of five business days shall have elapsed, during which period Debtor may correct or cure such event, upon failure of which an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder (except as otherwise provided in the following sentence) without further notice or demand of any kind being required.

 

D If Debtor fails to observe or perform any of the covenants of this Agreement; or

 

E If Debtor becomes insolvent within the meaning of the Code, files or notifies Lender that it intends to file a petition under the Code, initiates a proceeding under any similar law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding up or adjustment of debts (collectively, an “Action”), becomes the subject of either an involuntary Action or petition under the Code without such involuntary Action or petition being dismissed within 60 days of filing or, if Debtor is diligently proceeding to dismiss such petition, such longer period of time as if required, but in no event shall such longer period of time be greater than 90 days, or is not generally paying its debts as the same become due.

 

B. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the limitations, notices and cure periods set forth in subsection A, or an Acceleration Event, Lender shall have no obligation to fund any Advance to Debtor and Lender may declare all obligations of Debtor under the Note, this Agreement and any other Loan Document to be due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind except as expressly provided herein. Thereafter, Lender may exercise, at its option, concurrently, successively or in any combination, all remedies available at law or in equity, including without limitation any one or more of the remedies available under the Note or any other Loan Document. Neither the acceptance of this Agreement nor its enforcement shall prejudice or in any manner affect Lender’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Lender, it being agreed that Lender shall be entitled to enforce this Agreement and any other security now or hereafter held by Lender in such order and manner as it may in its absolute discretion determine. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Lender, or to which Lender may be otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Lender.

 

8. ASSIGNMENTS BY Lender. Lender may assign in whole or in part its rights under this Agreement. Upon any unconditional assignment of Lender’s entire right and interest hereunder, Lender shall automatically be relieved, from and after the date of such assignment, of liability for the performance of any obligation of Lender contained herein arising after the date of the assignment provided that any assignee shall be bound by all of Lender’s obligations hereunder accruing from and after the date of such assignment.

 

9. INDEMNITY. Debtor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lender and each of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, successors, assigns, agents, experts, licensees, affiliates, lenders, mortgagees and trustees, as applicable (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, damages and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”), arising as the result of a breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations of Debtor set forth in this Agreement, but excluding Losses suffered by an Indemnified Party directly arising out of such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Maximum Principal Amount:  $2,000,000

 

New York, New York

 

For value received, Midas Medici Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Debtor”), hereby promises to pay to Knox Lawrence International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“KLI”) and Quotidian Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively with KLI, the “Lender”), on or before the Maturity Date (as defined below), the principal sum of up to TWO MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,000,000), or such much thereof as may be outstanding from time to time, in accordance with that certain Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement dated as of the date of this Note between Debtor and Lender, as such agreement may be amended from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”).

 

Initially capitalized terms which are not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement. The following terms shall have the following meanings for all purposes of this Note:

 

“Applicable Rate” means an annual percentage equal to 10%.

 

 “Business Day” means any day on which Lender is open for business in the state of New York, other than a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday.

 

“Interest Period” means (i) initially, the period beginning on the date of this Note and ending on the last day of the calendar month in which such date occurs, and (ii) thereafter, the period beginning on the first day of the calendar month and ending on the last day of such calendar month.

 

“Maturity Date” means October 31, 2013.

 

Debtor shall pay Lender interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note at the Applicable Rate, on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed, in arrears. Commencing on the first day of each calendar month after which an advance is made until the Maturity Date, Debtor shall pay Lender interest which has accrued at the Applicable Rate on the outstanding principal balance of this Note during the preceding Interest Period.

 

Lender shall notify Debtor in writing on or before the twenty-fifth day of each calendar month during the term of this Note of Lender’s determination of the interest payable on the first day of the next succeeding calendar month. All outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest shall be paid on the Maturity Date.

 

Each payment hereunder shall be applied first to any past due payments under this Note (including payment of all Costs (as herein defined)), then to accrued interest at the Applicable Rate, and the balance, after the payment of such accrued interest, if any, shall be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note; provided, however, each payment hereunder while an Event of Default under this Note has occurred and is continuing shall be applied as Lender in its sole discretion may determine.

 

Upon execution of this Note, Debtor shall establish arrangements whereby all payments hereunder are transferred by wire or other means directly from Debtor’s bank account to such account as Lender may designate or as Lender may otherwise designate.

 

Debtor may prepay this Note as provided in the Loan Agreement.

 

An “Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred under this Note if any principal, interest or other monetary sum due under this Note is not paid within five days from the date when due and Lender shall have given notice of such failure to Debtor and such failure shall not have been cured by Debtor within five days from the delivery of such notice. Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default under this Note or (ii) an Event of Default or an Acceleration Event under any of the other Loan Documents, then, in any of such events, time being of the essence hereof, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, accrued interest, if any, and all other sums due under this Note, the other Loan Documents and any other document further securing this Note, due and payable at once without written notice to Debtor.

 

All past-due principal and/or interest shall bear interest at the lesser of the highest rate for which the undersigned may legally contract or the rate of 18% per annum (the “Default Rate”), and such Default Rate shall continue to apply following a judgment in favor of Lender under this Note. If Debtor fails to make any payment or installment due under this Note within five days of its due date, Debtor shall pay to Lender in addition to any other sum due Lender under this Note or any other Loan Document a late charge equal to 10% of such past-due payment or installment.

 

All payments of principal and interest due hereunder shall be made (i) without deduction of any present and future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, which amounts shall be paid by Debtor, and (ii) without any other right of abatement, reduction, setoff, defense, counterclaim, interruption, deferment or recoupment for any reason whatsoever. Debtor will pay the amounts necessary such that the gross amount of the principal and interest received by Lender is not less than that required by this Note.

 

No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any remedy, right or option under this Note shall operate as a waiver of such remedy, right or option.
