AGREEMENT
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Lender, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
 
1. Loans and Promissory Note.

(b) Promissory Note.  The Loan Advances made by Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by the duly executed Revolving Promissory Note of Borrower to Lender, dated as of the date hereof in an original principal amount equal to the Maximum Principal Amount and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (as amended, modified, extended, renewed or replaced from time to time, the “Note”).
 
(c) Repayments.  Borrower shall pay in full any remaining outstanding principal amount, all accrued but unpaid interest, and all other Obligations on the Maturity Date.
 

 
(d) Payment of Interest.
 
(i) Subject to Section 7(b)(ii), the principal amount outstanding under the Loan Advances shall accrue interest from the date of issuance until the Maturity Date at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, compounding daily.  The initial payment of accrued interest shall be made on June 1, 2010, and payment of accrued interest shall be made on the first calendar day of each month thereafter.
 
(ii) Interest will be computed on the basis of a year deemed to consist of 360 days and shall be paid for the actual number of days elapsed.
 
2. Creation of a Security Interest.
 
(a) Grant of Security Interest.
 
(i) Borrower hereby grants to Lender, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Lender, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under all the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.  Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral other than with respect to Permitted Liens.  If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of the general details thereof and grant to Lender a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
 
(ii) If this Agreement is terminated, Lender’s security interest in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations are repaid in full in cash.  Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time as Lender’s obligation to make Loan Advances has terminated, Lender shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its security interest in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.
 
(b) Authorization to File Financing Statements.  Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Lender’s interest or rights hereunder.  Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Lender’s discretion.  Lender shall promptly provide Borrower with a copy of any such financing statements following filing.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, WORLDGATE COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation, WORLDGATE SERVICE, INC., a Delaware corporation, WORLDGATE FINANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation, OJO SERVICE LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, and OJO VIDEO PHONES LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (jointly and severally, the “Borrower”), hereby absolutely, irrevocably, unconditionally and jointly and severally promises to pay to the order of WGI INVESTOR LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lender”), in United States dollars and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of THREE MILLION DOLLARS ($3,000,000), or such lesser amount as may be advanced by Lender to the Borrower from time to time in accordance with that certain Revolving Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 28, 2009, between the Borrower and Lender (as it may be amended, modified, extended or restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), together with interest thereon, as provided in the Loan Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under this Revolving Promissory Note (this “Note”) shall not exceed three million dollars ($3,000,000).  This Note is subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in, and such terms and conditions are hereby incorporated herein by reference to, the Loan Agreement.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Note and the Loan Agreement, the provisions of the Loan Agreement shall prevail.

The obligations of the Borrower evidenced by this Note are secured as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, all outstanding principal and interest with respect to Loan Advances shall be due and payable in full in cash on the Maturity Date.  The daily unpaid principal balance outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at the rate(s) set forth in the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Advances may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty and amounts repaid may be re-borrowed in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have, and shall be entitled to exercise, all of the rights and remedies set forth in the Loan Documents.

Each right, power and remedy of Lender under this Note, the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, or under applicable laws shall be cumulative and concurrent, and the exercise of any one or more of them shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lender of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.  No failure or delay by Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any one or more provisions of this Note, the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon an Event of Default shall constitute a waiver thereof, or preclude Lender from exercising any such right, power or remedy.  No modification, change, waiver or amendment of this Note shall be deemed to be made unless in writing signed by the Borrower and Lender. This Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided that except as set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall have no right to assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Note and provided further there shall be no restrictions of any nature on Lender’s right to assign this Note or its rights hereunder.  The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Note shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision.  This Note shall be deemed to be made in, and shall be governed by the laws of, the State of Delaware (without regard to its conflicts of laws principles).
