Item 1.01                 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Innovative Software Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") on July 22, 2014 executed the following agreements with with SLM Technologies, Inc. (“SLM”) a Delaware company, as part of the Company’s efforts to sustain the operations of the Company and protect Company shareholder value.  The Company is experiencing cash flow shortages necessitating the following agreements (See: Item 2.02 below).

Letter of Intent.  On July 22, 2014, the Company signed a letter of intent with SLM (“LOI”). The proposed transaction contemplated by the LOI, which is subject to certain conditions precedent set forth in the LOI, is that SLM will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (“Shares”) or all of the operating assets and intellectual property rights (“Assets”) of INtech Ventures, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (“INtech”), which acquisition (“Acquisition”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions in the letter of intent attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and the terms contained in a written definitive purchase agreement to be negotiated by the Company and SLM (the “Definitive Purchase Agreement”).  The Company is obligated under the LOI to complete the audit of INTech, within 45 days of the Effective Date of the LOI (“Audit”).  After the completion of the Audit, and subject to the conditions in the LOI, the parties shall conclude an appropriate due diligence review for the Acquisition and the parties shall in good faith and diligently seek to negotiate the terms and conditions of the Definitive Purchase Agreement based on the results of the Audit and a mutually acceptable fair valuation of the Shares and Assets of INtech (“Valuation”). The consummation of the Acquisition depends on whether the Company and SLM can reach agreement on the terms of the Definitive Purchase Agreement.  The following description of the LOI is qualified in its entirety by reference to the LOI, which is Exhibit 2.1 to this Report.

License Agreement. The Company entered into a License Agreement with SLM on July 22, 2014 (“License Agreement”).  Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company granted to SLM, subject to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement, an exclusive transferrable worldwide perpetual license of INtech’s “Optinsmart” dashboard computer technology currently including email, text messaging, social media marketing, reputation management, back office systems to include CRM, billing and white label account management, including all Releases, Enhancements, Versions (all as defined in the License Agreement), and patches thereto (collectively, the “Licensed Technology”).  SLM has the right to make, use, import, lease, and sell the software code and programs comprising the Licensed Technology for the term of the Agreement, which runs from the effective date through that date which is the later of the execution of the Definitive Purchase Agreement and one year from the execution of the License Agreement. Pursuant to the License Agreement, SLM agreed to pay to the Company a certain royalty payments based on the SLM’s net sales of the software code and programs comprising the Licensed Technology (less accessories or other components or products used in combination with the licensed products), for the period commencing on the effective date and ending on upon the earlier to occur of the termination or expiration of the License Agreement or the acquisition of the licensed products by SLM from the Company in a to-be-negotiated transaction.

The above description of the License Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual License Agreement, which is attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.1.

Credit Line and Promissory Note.  On July 22, 2014, INTech entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (“Credit Line”) and underlying Promissory Note (“Note”) with SLM.  Under the Credit Line and Note, The Lender may provide a maximum of $200,000 principal amount debt financing to INtech for a term ending in July 2015.  Unless the Credit Line term is extended, no advances of credit will be made after July 2015. The Credit Line has a 5% per annum interest rate and a default interest rate of 12% per annum.  Advance on the financing are made at SLM’s discretion.  The Credit Line is intended to provide Intech with possible working capital while SLM and the Company seek to negotiate the Definitive Purchase Agreement.

The above description of the Credit Line and Note are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual agreement and instrument, which are attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Report.

Item 2.02                 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
The Company is currently experiencing cash flow problems that hinder the ability of the Company to consistently or fully fund INtech operations on an ongoing basis in the remainder of 2014.  The Licensing Agreement is deemed by the Company as a necessary action to sustain INtech and its value.  In the event that the Definitive Purchase Agreement is consummated, then the Company believes that receipt of the consideration in the Acquisition will be potentially better for Company shareholders’ interests then a possible decline in INtech operations and value as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and solely funded by the Company.

Section 6.  INDEMNITY. Licensor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Licensee and its officers, directors, agents, Sublicensees, employees, and customers, harmless against all costs, expenses, and losses (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) incurred as a result of any claim that the Licensed Technology infringes or misappropriates any third party’s intellectual property. Licensee will deliver written notice of a claim for indemnification with reasonable promptness to Licensor, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim. However, any failure to timely give that notice will not relieve Licensor of any of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Licensor has the right, subject to Licensee’s consent (“Approval”), to participate in and control the defense of the claim with counsel of its choice. Licensee will have the right to employ separate counsel in any action and to participate in the defense of that action, but the fees and expenses of that counsel will be at the sole expense of the Licensee unless (i) Licensor, upon or after Approval, failed to assume the defense and diligently prosecute or settle the claim, or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel retained by Licensor to represent Licensor, there exists or develops a conflict that would ethically prohibit counsel to Licensor from representing Licensee. If requested by Licensor upon or after Approval, Licensee will cooperate with Licensor and its counsel in contesting any claim that Licensor elects to contest, including, without limitation, by making any counterclaim against the person or entity asserting the claim or any cross-complaint against any person or entity, in each case only to the extent that any counterclaim or cross-complaint arises from the same actions or facts giving rise to the claim. Licensee will be the sole judge of the acceptability of any compromise or settlement of any claim, litigation, or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement. Licensor will not enter into any settlement or compromise of any claim without Licensee’s consent.
 
Section 7.  COOPERATION. Both parties will further cooperate to ensure that both parties enjoy the benefits of all licenses granted under this Agreement.
 
Section 8.  NOTICE AND PAYMENT. All notices, requests, demands, payments, and other communications which are required to be or may be given under this Agreement to a party by the other party must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (A) immediately if delivered in person, (B) the day following dispatch by a nationally recognized overnight courier service (such as Federal Express or UPS, etc.) for next day delivery, (C) five days after dispatch by certified or registered first class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Party to whom the same is so given or made, or (D) upon confirmation of receipt, if by facsimile.

Section 10.  CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICITY.  A. CONFIDENTIALITY. For purposes of this Section 10, a party who receives the non-public confidential information or trade secrets of the other party shall be referred to as the “Recipient” and the owner or party in control of such confidential information or trade secrets shall be referred to as the “Discloser.”  (i) Defined. “Confidential Information” means any non-public proprietary, confidential and/or trade secrets (as defined by applicable trade secrets act laws) information of Discloser and/or others possessed by Discloser. Confidential Information may include, without limitation, information related to Discloser’s products, services, technology, methodologies, specifications, manufacturing or operating methods, know-how, business or marketing plans, business relationships and any information which, given the totality of the circumstances, a reasonable recipient should have reason to believe is proprietary, confidential, or competitively sensitive. Confidential Information may be disclosed either in tangible form (including without limitation traditional media such as written documents, photographs and drawings, and new media such as disks, DVDs, and CDs containing electronic or optical data), or orally or visually or in other intangible form (including without limitation presentations, displays, Internet transmissions, or inspections of writings, designs, drawings, photographs, models, prototypes, samples or facilities).  “Confidential Information” also includes anything set forth in Exhibit D hereto, if any; and
 
(ii) Confidential Information will not include information that: (1) was in the public domain when disclosed through no breach of any confidentiality or contractual obligation, or infringement of any intellectual property rights; (2) becomes public domain after disclosure, other than as a result of Recipient’s violation of this Agreement or any other contractual or legal obligation; (3) was in Recipient’s possession when disclosed and was not acquired directly or indirectly from Discloser or through any improper or actionable means; or (4) is shown by clear and convincing written evidence to have been developed by Recipient independently after disclosure and without reliance or benefit of the Confidential Information; or (5) has been disclosed pursuant to the express, written consent of the Discloser. Confidential Information will not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of the Confidential Information is embodied in general disclosure or because individual features, components or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public. Confidential Information will not be deemed publicly known or known by Recipient merely because it may be embraced by a more general disclosure, or derived from other disclosures, available to the public or Recipient.
 
(iii)  Standard of Care.  Recipient (a) will not disclose Confidential Information except to its employees and senior officers, and then only to the extent necessary to achieve the purposes contemplated by this Agreement and only to employees and senior officers informed of Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement and bound by written agreement or otherwise to comply with such obligations, (b) will not use Confidential Information except for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, (c) will use the same prudent care and safeguards that a reasonable businessman in the U.S. would use to protect his employer’s “Confidential Information” or intellectual property rights from unauthorized disclosures or usage and (d) will make copies of materials embodying Confidential Information only as needed for such purpose, all of which will include any existing markings indicating that they are the Confidential Information of Discloser, or will have markings supplied by Discloser. The restrictions of this Section  10 will apply to all “affiliates” of a Recipient, which term “affiliates” means any person, group, partnership of any kind, limited liability company, corporation, business trust, cooperative, association, organization, testamentary trust or other trust, or other entity that is under the control or controlled by the Recipient and has a legal or fiduciary duty to not violate the contractual obligations of the Recipient, or said affiliate signs this Agreement or an agreement to abide by the terms and condition of this Agreement.

(iv)   Export Issues.  Confidential Information may include items subject to U.S. export controls. It is the sole and exclusive responsibility of Recipient to understand, verify, and comply with all export or re-export requirements relevant to commodities, software or technologies, including without limitation Confidential Information in the form of technical data, received from the other party. Information received hereunder from Discloser and the direct product thereof in accordance with all applicable US export laws and regulations, including but not limited to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. In connection with and without limiting the general applicability of the foregoing, Recipient shall not make or permit disclosure of information received from the Discloser or supply or permit the supply of  the direct product thereof which is subject to such laws or regulations to nationals of prohibited countries or to any Foreign Person (as defined in Section 120.16 of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations) unless (i) Recipient has received Discloser’s express written consent to do so and (ii) necessary export licenses have been obtained. Recipient will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, any commodity, software or technology, including without limitation any item incorporating such commodity, software or technology, to any country, destination or individual for which the U.S. Government or any agency thereof requires an export license or other approval for export or re-export, without first obtaining such license or approval.
 
(v) Return Confidential Information.  Upon termination of Discussions or termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Recipient will return to Discloser, or, upon requesting and receiving the written authorization of Discloser, destroy all Confidential Information of the Discloser in the possession or under the control of the Recipient.  This Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) forty five (45) days after the date that a party ceases to legally exist in its domicile jurisdiction, either by liquidation or cessation of all business activities for one year or more,  or termination of charter by the domicile state; (ii) by court order; (iii) by a party filing for protection and liquidation under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and the petition is not withdrawn within sixty (60) days of filing; or (iv) by operation of law, including none of the Confidential Information disclosed hereunder is non-public through no breach of this Agreement or any other confidentiality agreement, and no infringement of Licensor’s intellectual property rights,  by any party or any of its affiliate.
 
(vi) Notice of Breach.  Recipient will notify Discloser immediately in writing and by email of any breach of this Agreement of which it becomes aware, and will reasonably assist and cooperate with Discloser in minimizing the consequences of such breach. In the event that Recipient or its directors, officers, or employees are requested or required by legal process, by order of any court of competent jurisdiction, by any governmental agency, by any applicable law, rule or regulation, or by any applicable stock exchange or stock association rule to disclose any of the Confidential Information of Discloser, Recipient will give prompt written notice so that Discloser may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief. In the event that such protective order is not obtained, Recipient will disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that its counsel advises that it is legally required to disclose, and will work with Discloser to minimize the extent and effects of such disclosure.
 
 
7

 

(vii)   Remedies. Discloser will sustain irreparable harm by a breach of this Agreement by Recipient for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Recipient therefore agrees that, in the event of a threatened or continuing breach of this Agreement, Discloser will be entitled, without prejudice to all other available remedies, to immediate injunctive or other equitable relief. Recipient will indemnify and hold Discloser harmless from any damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, arising from any breach of this Agreement by Recipient. The protections afforded to the Confidential Information under this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the protections afforded under any applicable trade secrets laws.

The parties agree to consult with each other reasonably and in good faith with respect to the text and timing of such press releases prior to the issuance thereof, provided that a party may not unreasonably withhold or delay consent to such releases, and that either party may issue such press releases as it determines, based on advice of counsel, are reasonably necessary to comply with laws or regulations or for appropriate market disclosure. Either party shall be free to disclose, without the other party’s prior written consent, the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the other party and those terms of the Agreement that have already been publicly disclosed in accordance herewith.

Section 13.  WAIVER. No waiver by either party of any default will be deemed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent default of the same of other provisions of this Agreement.
 
Section 14.  SEVERABILITY. If any term, clause, or provision herein is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity will not affect the validity or operation of any other term, clause or provision, and such invalid term, clause or provision will be deemed to be severed from this Agreement.
 
Section 15.  TERM; TERMINATION.  The term of this Agreement shall be commencing on 8:00 a.m., EST, on the Effective Date and shall end on 11:59 p.m., EST, on the date of the earlier to occur of:  (A) the execution and closing of the Definitive Purchase Agreement by the parties and providing for the acquisition of all of INTECH’s issued capital stock and all or substantially all of INTECH’s assets and intellectual property rights, or (B) on 8:00 a.m., EST, on the first annual anniversary of the Effective Date.

Exhibit 99.2
 
REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 22,  2014, by and among SLM Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lender”), and Intech Ventures, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Borrower”).

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
 
1. Loan.

(a) Subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, Lender agrees, during the Availability Period (as hereinafter defined), to make a loan to Borrower in the form of a revolving line of credit, and Borrower agrees to accept and borrow from Lender, a revolving line of credit in the maximum principal amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (the “Loan”). Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a Promissory Note in the form of the Promissory Note attached hereto as Exhibit A in connection with the Loan.  Borrower shall be entitled to draw down advances on the line of credit, subject to the sole discretion of such Lender, in minimum amounts of $5,000.00 per advance, provided: (i) no Event of Default exists; and (ii) all additional conditions as set forth in the Loan Documents have been satisfied at the time of the requested advance; and provided further, that Borrower provide Lender with any and all information reasonably requested by the Lender to support the advance request, including usage of prior advances.  All sums disbursed on the Loan or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be treated as a disbursement of principal.

(b) The Loan is a revolving line of credit.  During the Availability Period (as hereinafter defined), Borrower may re-borrow any amounts repaid provided that Borrower is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and subject to Lender’s commitment amount.  Although the outstanding principal of the Note may be zero from time to time, the Loan Documents will remain in full force and effect until the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined) and all obligations are paid and performed in full.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may suspend or terminate the commitment to make disbursements of the Loan proceeds without notice to or consent of Borrower.  “Availability Period” means the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and expiring on July 22, 2016, subject to the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined).  After July 22, 2015, no new advances or disbursements shall be made under this Agreement.

2. Interest.  The interest rate on this Loan five percent (5%).  Interest will be calculated for the actual number of days the principal is outstanding and based on a three hundred sixty five (365) day year.

3. Default Interest Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall, in Lender’s sole discretion and without prior notice to Borrower, bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, and shall continue at such rate, both before and after judgment, until the outstanding amount is paid and all of Borrower’s other obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, reimbursement of costs and fees, if any,  have been fully paid and discharged.
 
 
 

 

4. Reserved.

5. Repayment.  Payments shall be made in the manner specified by the Lender in writing from time-to-time.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the entire unpaid principal balance, together with any accrued interest and other unpaid charges or fees hereunder, shall be due and payable in full on or before July 22, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”), in lawful money of the United States of America.  Any payment received by a Lender ten (10) days after its scheduled due date shall be subject to a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of the delinquent payment or $50.00, whichever is greater.  Such late charge is a good faith estimate by the parties of the additional expense and costs that such Lender will incur as a result of such delinquent payment and is not a penalty.  Any payment falling due on a day that is not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined) shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, for purposes of determining late charges and other matters determined in reference to the delinquency of payments, such payment shall be considered to have been due on its regularly-scheduled payment date.  As used herein, a “Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or other day on which commercial banks in the State of Florida are authorized or required to be closed for the general transaction of banking business.  All payments received hereunder or on account of any collateral securing the Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to any late charge; second, to any costs or expenses incurred by Lender in collecting such payment or to any other unpaid charges or expenses due hereunder; third, to accrued interest; fourth, to principal; and fifth, the balance, if any, to such person entitled thereto; provided, however, upon occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in its discretion, change the priority of the application of payments as it deems appropriate.

6. Prepayment.  Borrower may prepay any amounts due and owing at any time without penalty.

7. Disbursement of Loan Proceeds.  During the Availability Period, Borrower may request an Advance (as hereinafter defined) of Loan proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 7.  However, Advances shall be made by Lender in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below and any additional terms and conditions as determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, at the time of Borrower’s request for an Advance.

(a) Loan advances (each, an “Advance,” collectively, “Advances”) may be made by a Lender upon the written request of Borrower.  Each written request for an Advance shall be made on the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (a “Borrowing Notice”) and delivered (via e-mail or facsimile if confirmed by a mailed original) to Lender at 2802 N Howard Ave. Tampa FL 33607, Attn: Paul Mazzapica, or such other addresses as Lender shall designate.  Each Borrowing Notice shall be submitted to and received by the Lender prior to 1:00 P.M. (Eastern Time) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the specified borrowing date.

(b) Each Advance must be for at least Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5000.00).

(c) Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable once given and shall be binding on Borrower.  Additionally, each Borrowing Notice shall contain a certification from Borrower that (i) the aggregate outstanding Advances, after giving effect to the requested borrowing, will not exceed the maximum amount of the commitment, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true, correct and complete as if made on the date of the requisition, and (iii) no Event of Default, after giving effect to the requested borrowing, will exist.

(d) The conditions precedent set forth in Paragraph 8 must continue to be satisfied in all respects as of the date of each Advance.

8. Conditions Precedent.  Lender shall not be required to make any advance or disbursement hereunder unless and until the following conditions have been, and continue to be, satisfied in Lender’s sole discretion:

(a) All of the documents required by Lender in connection with this Agreement and the Loan, including without limitation this Agreement, the Promissory Note, and any other document or security instrument (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) shall have been duly executed, acknowledged (if required), and delivered to such Lender and shall be in full force and effect.

(b) Borrower shall have provided evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower and the person or persons signing the Loan Documents have the authority to do so.

(c) The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall then be true and correct with the same effect as though the representations and warranties had been made at such time.  The request for a disbursement of Loan proceeds and any request for an Advance by Borrower shall constitute a reaffirmation by Borrower to Lender that all representations and warranties made herein remain true and correct in all material respects to the same extent as though given at the time such request is made, and that all conditions precedent listed in this Paragraph 8 have been, and continue to be, satisfied in all respects as of the date such request is made.

(d) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no condition shall exist or event shall have occurred which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the foregoing conditions are solely for the benefit and protection of Lender.  Lender may, in its sole discretion, waive or defer the performance of any condition on one or more occasions.  Any such waiver or deferral shall not establish a course of dealings or otherwise obligate Lender to waive or defer any condition on other occasions.

(a) Borrower has all requisite authority and power to execute and deliver any document required hereunder and to perform any condition or obligation imposed under the terms of such documents.

(b) Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the Florida.

(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, and each document incident hereto will not violate any provision of any applicable law, regulation, order, judgment, decree, article of incorporation, by-law, indenture, contract, agreement, or other undertaking to which Borrower is a party, or which purports to be binding on Borrower or its assets and will not result in the creation or imposition of a lien on any of its assets.

(d) There is no action, suit, investigation, or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened, against or affecting Borrower or any of its assets which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Borrower or the operation of its business.

20.           General Provisions.  All representations and warranties made in this Agreement and the Promissory Note and in any certificate delivered pursuant thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any loans hereunder.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender, their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender.  This Agreement, the Promissory Note, and all documents and instruments associated herewith will be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.  Time is of the essence hereof.  Lender may set off against any debt or account it owns Borrower, now existing or hereafter arising, in accordance with its rules and regulations governing deposit accounts then in existence.

21.           Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, and all of which shall constitute a single agreement.  The signature of a party to any counterpart shall be sufficient to legally bind such party.  Lender may remove the signature pages from one or more counterparts and attach them to any other counterpart for the purpose of having a single document containing the signatures of all parties.  Any party may effect the execution and delivery of this Agreement by signing the same and sending a copy thereof to Lender or its attorney by facsimile transmission.  Such facsimile document, including the signatures thereon, shall be treated in all respects as an original instrument bearing an original signature.  Any party sending an executed copy by facsimile transmission in the foregoing manner shall also send the original thereof to Lender within five (5) days thereafter, but failure to do so shall not invalidate or otherwise affect the legality or enforceability of the facsimile document.

22.           Waiver of Jury Trial.   BORROWER AND LENDER EACH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY HEAR, DETERMINE, OR MAKE ANY RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROMISSORY NOTE, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOAN, THE DECLARATION OF ANY DEFAULT, THE PURSUIT OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREUNDER, THE LENDING RELATIONSHIP CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, AND ANY CLAIMS ARISING IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS ARE BASED ON PRINCIPLES OF STATUTORY, CONTRACT, OR TORT LAW.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL SUCH MATTERS SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.  THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER WAS A MATERIAL FACTOR IN THEIR DECISION TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND ENGAGE IN THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN.  BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NEITHER LENDER NOR ANY REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS OR ANY OTHER WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
