Section 2.2           Initial Budget Report and Interim Budget Reports

(b)         The Lender shall make loans based on the Initial Budget Report commencing no later than May 16, 2011 and twice-monthly thereafter through the period covered by the Initial Budget Report.  Within two (2) business days of the Lender’s receipt of an Interim Budget Report, the Lender (unless it rejects such Interim Budget Report) shall make such Loan, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the remaining portion of its unfunded Commitment or (ii) an amount equal to the amount requested by the Issuer in such Interim Budget Report.  All payments by the Lender shall be paid in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or in some other form deemed acceptable by the Issuer, to an account designated in a written notice delivered by the Issuer to the Lender not later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing.

(c)         The Borrower covenants that all proceeds resulting from the Loans shall be used solely to fund the activities identified in the corresponding Initial Budget Report or Interim Budget Report and not for any other purpose without the consent of the Lender.

Section 2.3           Disbursement of Funds. On the date specified for borrowing in the Initial Budget Report or the applicable Interim Budget Report, the Lender will, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, make its Loan available to the Borrower.

Section 2.4           Repayment of Loan; Evidence of Debt.

(a)         Each of ReGen and RBIO, jointly and not severally, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Loans. All payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note, whether of principal, interest or other amounts, shall be made in accordance with Section 3.3.

 
 
 

(b)         The Borrower's obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”), duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith.  The Note shall (i) be payable to the order of the Lender, and shall be dated the date of the borrowing of the related Loans from time to time, (ii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Loans evidenced thereby, (iii) mature on the Maturity Date, (iv) be subject to mandatory prepayment as provided herein, (v) bear interest as provided in Section 2.5 and (vi) be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement.

(c)         The Lender shall mark the Note on its internal records the amount of each Loan and each payment with respect thereto; provided that the failure to make, or any error in making, a notation with respect to a Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Note. Such notations shall constitute conclusive evidence (absent manifest error) of the accuracy of the information contained therein.

Section 2.5           Interest.

(a)         The Borrower agrees to pay interest on each Loan and Note, from the period from the date on which such Loan or Note is made to and including the date on which it is repaid in full, at a rate per annum equal to 12%.

(b)         Accrued interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date, and also on any date on which any principal of the Loans or Note is repaid, and on the date on which any Loan or Note shall be paid in full.

(c)         Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination of an interest rate or fee by the lender will be conclusive evidence of such rate or fee and shall be binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error.

(d)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, any principal, interest, or other amount owing hereunder or under the Note which is unpaid when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest, which shall be payable on demand from time to time by the Lender to which such amount is owed, from the date of default to the actual date of payment (before as well as after judgment), at a rate per annum equal to 18%.

(e)         Anything in this Agreement or the Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the rate of interest payable under this Agreement and the Note shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If the making of any payment by the Borrower would result in a payment being made that is in excess of such rate, the applicable Lender will apply that excess to the reduction of principal, or will determine the payment or payments that are to be reduced or refunded, as the case may be, so that such result does not occur.

Section 2.6           Funding Losses. If the Borrower shall make any payment in respect of a Loan or Note on a day other than a scheduled payment date (whether by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), or if any borrowing of Loans shall fail to take place on the date scheduled therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Lender harmless for all funding, breakage and other reasonable losses, costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by that Lender as a result of such payment or prepayment, as calculated in writing by the Lender, such calculations to be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and subject in all respects to reasonableness; provided, however, that the Lender shall not be entitled to claim loss of expected interest resulting from any prepayment.

 
 
 

Section 2.7           Taxes.

(a)         All amounts payable under or in respect of this Agreement or the Note shall be paid free and clear of any set-off, counterclaim or other deduction or withholding of any nature and free and clear of all taxes, duties and imposts (including withholding or retention taxes) which may be levied by any jurisdiction.

(b)         Should any deduction or withholding under Section 2.7(a) be required by applicable law, the Borrower shall increase the amount thereof to the extent necessary to permit the Lender to receive the same amount, after such deduction or withholding (including deductions or withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7(b)) as the Lender would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. For avoidance of doubt, additional amounts payable under this Section 2.7(b) shall not include any taxes imposed on the Lender's overall net income or profits by the jurisdiction in which the Lender is organized or in which the Lender's principal office or applicable lending office is located.

(c)         The Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Lender original tax receipts and such other evidence as the Lender may reasonably request to demonstrate that all amounts deducted or withheld have been paid to the appropriate taxation authority.

(d)         If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement, it shall deliver to the Borrower at the time prescribed by applicable law, any properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to the Lender in respect of United States federal withholding tax pursuant to subsection (b) above if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by the Lender to comply with the provisions of this subsection (d). For avoidance of doubt, the Lender shall not be obliged to disclose to the Borrower or any other Person any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations, and nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall interfere with the Lender's right to arrange or manage its tax affairs in whatever manner it believes is appropriate.

(e)         Without limiting the survival of any other provisions of this Agreement or the Note, the agreements of the Borrower in this Section 2.7 shall survive the repayment in full of the Loans and the cancellation of the Note.

(c)         instruct all banks which have entered into a control agreement with the Lender to transfer all monies, securities and instruments held by such bank to such account as the Lender shall instruct such banks in writing; and instruct all securities intermediaries which have entered into a control agreement with the Lender to liquidate all Investment Property and/or to transfer all monies and Investment Property held by such securities intermediary to the Lender or as the Lender may direct;

(d)         sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with Section 9.3 hereof, or direct the Borrower to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof, and, in each case, take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation for application in accordance with Section 9.5 below;

(e)         take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing the Borrower in writing to assemble and make available or, to the extent practicable, to deliver the same to the Lender at any reasonable place or places designated by the Lender, in which event the Borrower shall at its own expense:

it being understood that the Borrower's obligation to deliver the Collateral as described above is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Lender shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by the Borrower of said obligation.

Section 9.3           Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral.

If a Default shall have occurred and is continuing, then any Collateral repossessed by the Lender under or pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Lender, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Lender may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Lender or after any overhaul or repair (which shall be at the expense of the Borrower) which the Lender shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Any such sale, lease or other disposition may be effected by means of a public disposition or private disposition, effected in accordance with the applicable requirements (in each case if and to the extent applicable) of Sections 9-610 through 9-613 of the UCC and/or such other mandatory requirements of applicable law as may apply to the respective disposition. The Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private disposition or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the disposition, and such disposition may be made at any time or place to which the disposition may be so adjourned. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Lender may bid for and become the purchaser (and may pay all or any portion of the purchase price by crediting Obligations against the purchase price) of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for disposition in accordance with this Section 9.3 without accountability to the Borrower. If, under applicable law, the Lender shall be permitted to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the Borrower as hereinabove specified, the Lender need give the Borrower only such notice of disposition as shall be required by such applicable law. The Borrower agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at the Borrower’s expense.

Section 9.4           Waiver of Claims.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of ReGen and RBIO hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice and judicial hearing in connection with the Lender taking possession or the Lender’s disposition of any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies, and each of ReGen and RBIO hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:

 
 
 

(a)         all damages occasioned by such taking of possession or any such disposition except any damages which are the direct result of the Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct;

(b)         all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Lender's rights hereunder; and

(c)         all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and each of ReGen and RBIO, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.

Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the Borrower therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Borrower and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under the Borrower.

Section 9.5           Application of Proceeds. The Lender shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. It is understood that the Borrower shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations.

Section 9.6           Duty of Care. The Lender shall exercise ordinary care in the storage or use of any Collateral in its possession. The Lender shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Lender, or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

Section 9.7           License. For the sole purpose of enabling the Lender to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as the Lender shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, to the extent of the Borrower's legal and contractual rights to make such grant, each of ReGen and RBIO hereby grants to the Lender, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Borrower) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

Section 9.8           Further Acts. The Borrower will, at its own expense and upon the reasonable request of the Lender, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Lender from time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of its Collateral, warehouse receipts, receipts in the nature of warehouse receipts, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments, execute and cause to be executed such control agreements, make intellectual property filings, and take such further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby granted, which the Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in the Collateral or the priority thereof.

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender that: set forth on Schedule 9.9 is (a) the location of its chief executive office and the location of its books and records; (b) the location of the majority of the Collateral as of the date of this Agreement, and (c) the location of the remaining Collateral.  The Borrower further represents and warrants that: (x) with respect to the Borrower’s Accounts, that each existing Account represents, and each future Account will represent, a bona fide sale or lease and shipment of goods by the Borrower, or rendition of services by the Borrower, in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business; and (y) all Documents, Instruments, and Chattel Paper describing, evidencing, or constituting Collateral, and all signatures and endorsements thereon, are and will be valid and genuine in all material respects.

Section 9.10         Changes. Neither ReGen nor RBIO will change its name, type of organization or jurisdiction of organization without giving at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Lender and, prior to any such change, making such filings and taking such other steps as the Lender may reasonably request to continue the perfection and priority of the Liens granted hereunder.

Section 9.11         Storage and Use. The Borrower agrees that it will use, store, and maintain the Collateral with all reasonable care and will use such Collateral for lawful purposes only.

Section 9.12         Inspections and Reports.

The Borrower shall keep and maintain its Equipment in good operating condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and shall make all necessary replacements thereof. The Borrower will not, without the Lender's prior written consent, alter or remove any identifying symbol or number on any of the Borrower's Equipment constituting Collateral.

 
 
 

Section 9.15         Right to Cure. The Lender may, in its discretion, pay any amount or do any act required of the Borrower hereunder in order to preserve, protect, maintain or enforce the Obligations, the Collateral or the Lender's Liens therein, and which the Borrower fails to pay or do, including payment of any judgment against the Borrower, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or processing charge, any landlord's or bailee's claim, and any other Lien upon or with respect to the Collateral; provided, however, that the Lender shall not be under any obligation to take any such action. Any payment made or other action taken by the Lender under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed thereafter as herein provided.
