REMEDIES

Upon the occurrence of any Default Condition or Event of Default, Lender’s obligation to extend financing under the Credit Facility shall cease. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, without prejudice to the rights of Lender to enforce its claims against Borrower for damages for failure by Borrower to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder, subject only to prior receipt by Lender of payment in full of all Obligations then outstanding and in form acceptable to Lender, Lender in addition to all rights and remedies which it may have at law or in equity, shall have the following rights and remedies:

Section 6.01. Acceleration of the Obligations. Lender, at its option, may declare all of the Obligations (including but not limited to that portion thereof evidenced by the Note) to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of non-payment or any other notice required by law relative thereto, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding and, in connection therewith, if Lender so elects, by further written notice to Borrower, Lender may increase the rate of interest charged on the Note then outstanding for so long thereafter as Lender further shall elect by an amount not to exceed the Default Rate.

waive its right to demand payment under a demand at any time and in any event, as Lender in its discretion may deem appropriate. Thereafter, Lender, at its option, may but shall not be obligated to, accept less than the entire amount of Obligations due, if tendered, provided, however, that unless then agreed to in writing by Lender, no such acceptance shall or shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or a reinstatement of any commitments of Lender hereunder.

Unless and except to the extent expressly provided for to the contrary herein, the rights of Lender specified herein shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, Lender’s rights at law or in equity, or under any other provision of any other Loan Documents or under the provisions of any other document, instrument or other writing executed by Borrower or any third party in favor of Lender, all of which may be exercised successively or concurrently.

ARTICLE 7

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.01. Remedies Cumulative; Waiver. Each and every right granted to Lender under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith or allowed it by law or in equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. No advance under the Credit Facility shall constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No waiver by Lender of any Default Condition or Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any subsequent Default Condition or Event of Default.

Section 7.02. Survivability of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the date hereof and shall remain true and correct in all material respects at all times hereafter so long as any portion of the Obligations shall remain outstanding. All representations, warranties and covenants made herein are given as an inducement to Lender to extend credit to Borrower. Lender is relying on the validity and accuracy of such representations and warranties and the covenants made by Borrower as contained herein. All representations, warranties and covenants made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of all Loan Documents and shall further survive any and all bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, dissolution or insolvency proceedings relating to Borrower or any guarantor.

Section 7.03. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes when presented personally or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to any party hereto at its address set forth in the preamble to this Agreement.

Section 7.04. Modifications. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

Section 7.05. Cross Default. A default by Borrower in this Agreement shall constitute a default under the Note and all other Loan Documents, and a default by Borrower under any of the Note or any other Loan Document shall constitute a default under this Agreement.

Section 7.06. Usury. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the total liability of Borrower for any payments of interest or in the nature of interest shall not exceed the limits (contract rights) imposed by the usury laws of the State of Florida. In the event that any such payment is paid by Borrower, or received by Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as provided in the Note for payments of interest or payments in the nature of interest. Such return or credit shall not cure or waive any Default Condition or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.


Section 7.07. Gender and Number. In this Agreement, whenever the context so requires, the neuter gender includes the feminine and/or masculine, as the case may be and the singular number includes the plural.

Section 7.08. Binding Effect. The terms, conditions, covenants, agreements, powers, privileges, notices and authorizations herein contained shall extend to, be binding upon and available for the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and, to the extent permitted hereunder, to the assigns of each of the respective parties hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower will not assign or transfer voluntarily or by operation of law, or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or any monies, property or funds deposited with Lender. An assignment or transfer in violation of this provision shall be invalid, and an assignment or transfer by operation of law shall be deemed to be an invalid transfer.

Section 7.09. Time of Essence. It is specifically agreed that in all cases, time is of the essence of this Agreement.

Section 7.10. Assignment by Lender. Lender may at any time, and from time to time, as it may deem appropriate, assign in whole or in part, or issue participation interests in and to all of its rights and interests under this Agreement, the Note, and any other Loan Documents. In such event, this Agreement shall continue to apply to the Credit Facility, the Note, and Loan Documents. In the event of such assignment, it shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and not to be in modification hereof and advances made by any such assignee shall be evidenced and secured by the Note and other Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that any payments made by it in partial or complete discharge of the Credit Facility to any agent other than the owner and holder of the Loan Documents and Note of record shall constitute a payment of Borrower’s agent and not to the owner and holder of the Note or its agents; such payment shall be deemed not to have been properly made, and Lender shall not be required to release or discharge the Loan Documents, the Note, or any of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligation pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents and the Note.

Section 7.11. Assignment by Borrower. This Agreement may not be assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender. In the event that Lender approves any such assignment, Lender shall be entitled to make advances to such assignee and such advances shall be evidenced by the Note and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall remain liable for payment of all sums advanced hereunder before and after such assignment.

Section 7.12. Severance. In the event any one or more of the provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be unenforceable in any respect, such unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

Section 7.13. Claims Against Lender. No action shall be commenced by Borrower for any claim against Lender under the terms of this Agreement unless written notice thereof, specifically setting forth Borrower’s claim, shall have been given to Lender within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of the event or omission which Borrower alleges gave rise to any such claim, and failure to give such notice shall constitute a waiver of any such claim. The liability of Lender to Borrower for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by Lender shall not exceed a sum equal to the amount which Lender shall have failed to advance in consequence of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement and, upon the making of any such payment by Lender to Borrower, the same shall be treated as an advance under this Agreement in the same fashion as any other advance under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 7.14. Headings. Any captions or headings of the articles, sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience and reference and are not to be considered a part hereof and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions or terms hereof.

Section 7.15. Interpretation. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such person having or being deemed to have structured or dictated such provision.


Section 7.16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties or signatories hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

Section 7.17. Governing Law. This Agreement and each transaction consummated hereunder shall be deemed to be made under the laws of the State of Florida, excepting, however, its laws or rule regarding conflicts of laws or choice of laws, and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of such state.

Section 7.18. Acceptance. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, shall not become effective and until delivered to Lender and accepted in writing by Lender, as evidenced by its execution hereof (notice of which delivery and acceptance are hereby waived by Borrower).

Section 7.19. Cure of Defaults by Lender. If, hereafter, Borrower defaults in the performance of any duty or obligation to Lender hereunder, Lender may, at its option, but without obligation, cure such default and any cost, fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith including, without limitation, for the purchase of insurance, the payment of taxes and the removal or settlement of liens and claims, shall be added to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Section 7.20. Sole Benefit. The rights and benefits set forth in this Agreement and in all the other Loan Documents are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties thereto and may be relied upon only by them.

Section 7.21. Meaning of Particular Words. Any reference herein to “attorneys’ fees” or “attorney’s fees” shall be deemed to also include hourly charges for paralegals, law clerks and other staff members operating under the supervision of an attorney. Any award or payment of attorneys’ fees shall also include any and all sales and/or use taxes imposed thereon by any appropriate governmental authority.

Section 7.22. Execution Under Seal. This Agreement is being executed under seal by Borrower.

Section 7.23. Notice of Final Agreement. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

REVOLVING UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

Tampa, Florida

                    , 2010

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ORAGENICS, INC., a Florida corporation located at 13700 Progress Boulevard, Alachua, Florida 32615 (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of KOSKI FAMILY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Texas limited partnership having a mailing address of 3525 Turtle Creek Boulevard, Unit 19-B, Dallas, Texas 75219 (“Lender”), the sum of                     ($            ), together with interest thereon as provided herein. All sums are payable by personal delivery or by mail to Lender at the address listed above, or at such other address as Lender may designate to Borrower. This note is provided pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement of July     , 2010 by and between Lender and Borrower.

 

1. Interest. The unpaid principal balance under this Unsecured Promissory Note with Conversion Provisions (“Promissory Note”) shall bear interest from the date hereof at an annual rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus      percent (    %) (the “Applicable Rate”). The Applicable Rate shall be adjusted quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter while any principal balance hereunder remains unpaid, based on the LIBOR in effect on the business day immediately preceding such adjustment date.

 

2. Payment of Principal and Interest or Conversion. The principal of this Promissory Note, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable on July 30, 2011. Any portion of the principal of this Promissory Note may be prepaid, together with the accrued interest with respect to such principal payment, prior to maturity, without penalty. Any payment made under this Promissory Note shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal. Payment of principal and interest shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America that, at the time of payment, constitutes legal tender for the payment of public and private debt.


3. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(a) the failure of Borrower to pay all or any portion of the principal and interest due and payable under this Promissory Note and such failure continues for five (5) business days after the Lender notifies Borrower in writing of such failure;

(b) the filing against Borrower of an involuntary petition or other pleading seeking the entry of a decree or order for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state insolvency or other similar law ordering: (i) the liquidation of Borrower, (ii) a reorganization of Borrower or the business and affairs of Borrower, or (iii) the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or similar official for Borrower or the property of Borrower, and the failure to have such petition or other pleading denied or dismissed within thirty (30) days from the date of filing;

(c) the commencement by Borrower of a voluntary case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state insolvency or other similar law, (ii) the consent by Borrower to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian or similar official for Borrower or any of the property of Borrower, or (iii) the making by Borrower of an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

(d) the breach of any term of any of the Loan Documents as defined in that Revolving Credit Agreement of July     , 2010 by and between Borrower and Lender (“Loan Documents”).

 

4. Rights and Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the principal and all accrued but unpaid interest due under this Promissory Note shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable and may be collected forthwith without notice to Borrower, regardless of the stipulated date of maturity and, in that event, Borrower promises to pay, in addition to the unpaid principal and interest hereunder, all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, paralegals’ fees and expenses for any primary, appellate, bankruptcy and post-judgment proceedings, that Lender may incur or be put to in the collection of such amounts. Any overdue payment of principal or interest due under this Promissory Note shall bear interest from the due date at twelve percent (12%) per annum.

 

5. Waiver. Borrower hereby waives protest, demand, presentment and notice of dishonor, notice of the maturity, nonpayment, and all requirements necessary to hold it liable as the maker of this Promissory Note, and agrees that this Promissory Note may be extended in whole or in part without limit as to the number of such extensions or the period or periods thereof, and without notice to it and without affecting its liability hereunder. Failure to accelerate the debt in the event of any default hereunder, or other indulgence granted from time to time, shall not be construed as a novation of this Promissory Note or a waiver of the right of Lender to thereafter insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Promissory Note without previous written notice of such intention being given to Borrower.


6. Compliance With Usury Laws. All agreements between Borrower and Lender are hereby expressly limited so that in no event shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned under this Promissory Note exceed the maximum amount permissible under the laws of the State of Florida. If, at the time of any interest payment, the payment amount due under this Promissory Note is in excess of the legal limit, the obligation shall be reduced to the legal limit. If Borrower should ever receive, as interest, an amount that exceeds the highest lawful rate, the amount that would be excessive as interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Promissory Note, and not to the payment of interest.

 

7. Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH, THIS PROMISSORY NOTE AND ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY.

 

8. Choice of Law; Venue. The laws of the State of Florida, excluding its choice of law provisions if such laws would result in the application of laws other than the laws of the State of Florida, shall govern any disputes with respect to this Promissory Note, the validity of this Promissory Note, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation of the rights and duties of Borrower and Lender hereunder. The forum selected for any proceeding or suit related to a dispute between Borrower and Lender related to this Promissory Note shall be in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in Hillsborough County, Florida. Borrower consents to said courts’ personal jurisdiction over it and waives any defense, whether asserted by motion or pleading, that Hillsborough County, Florida is an improper or inconvenient venue.

 

9. Notice. Any notice, demand or other communication to Borrower that is permitted or required hereunder shall be given in writing, and shall be deemed to have been duly delivered (i) when delivered by personal delivery, (ii) three (3) days after being deposited with the United States Postal Service for mailing by first class mail, postage prepaid, certified mail, with return receipt requested (regardless of whether the return receipt is subsequently received), or (iii) one business day after being deposited with a nationally recognized courier service for overnight delivery; and in each case addressed by Lender to Borrower at the address for Borrower first listed above, or to such other address as Borrower may notify Lender in writing in conformity with the provisions of this Section.

 

10. Documentary Stamp Taxes. Borrower shall pay all documentary stamp taxes due on the obligation evidenced by this Promissory Note.

 

11. Assignment. Lender may assign all or any portion of this Promissory Note and Lender’s rights thereunder.


12. Binding Effect. This Promissory Note shall be binding upon Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.

 

13. Computation of Time. Whenever the last day for payment of any amount due hereunder shall fall upon Saturday, Sunday or any public or legal holiday, whether federal or of the State of Florida, Borrower shall have until 5:00 p.m. on the next succeeding regular business day to make such payment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed this Promissory Note on the date indicated below.
