In connection therewith, the Borrower and its affiliates have delivered to Lender, without limitation, the Security Agreement, an IP Security Agreement, a Guaranty of Health Enhancement Corporation and HEPI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Security Agreement (Subsidiaries) and various patent assignments (each of the foregoing together with all such other loan, guarantee and collateral documents collectively, as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Loan Documents”). All capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as defined in one or more of the Loan Documents, as context dictates; and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “Obligations” as used herein shall have the meaning set forth in that certain Security Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2011.

C.       Pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Lender made available to the Borrower a loan facility pursuant to the Loan Documents (the “Loan Facility” and the previously-funded portion of the loan thereunder, the “Loan”).

D.       The Participant seeks to purchase from Lender and Lender seeks to sell to Participant for cash, at par, a participation interest (“Participation”) in the Loan and Loan Documents.

The Parties agree as follows:

Terms and Conditions

1.       Pursuant to the Original Agreement, Strome Mezz purchased a $1,000,000 Participation in the Loan and Loan Documents and Strome Alpha purchased a $500,000 Participation in the Loan and Loan Documents (the “Original Purchase Price”) and such Participations have been paid in full by the Participant. Strome Mezz absolutely and unconditionally agrees to purchase another Participation in the Loan and Loan Documents in the amount of $691,187.08 (the “New Purchase Price” and, together with the Original Purchase Price, the “Purchase Price”). The New Purchase Price shall be paid in full by Participant on the date hereof.

 

2.       Effective as of the date of payment of the relevant portion of the Purchase Price in good funds, Lender sells and grants to the Participant, and Participant accepts and purchases from Lender, a participation in the Loan and Loan Documents in a principal equivalent amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price funded by Participant at such time.

3.       (a)       Without further action by Lender, execution and delivery of this Agreement and receipt by Lender of the relevant portion of the Purchase Price shall constitute a sale and purchase of the corresponding portion of the Participation and shall confer on the applicable Participant with respect to the Participation an interest in the Loan and Loan Documents in an amount equal to the Purchase Price (the “Participant Portion”).

(b)       Lender shall have the right to apply payments of any kind from any source, including the proceeds of any collateral security, to Lender’s interest in the Loan, including all interest, fees, costs and expenses due to Lender from Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents, and including any and all indebtedness, obligations or liabilities for which Borrower would otherwise be liable to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents were it not for the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of them by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other law or order of any kind, or for any other reason, in any manner in Lender’s sole and unfettered discretion, except, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments applied by Lender to Lender’s interest, principal or fees (including prepayment fees) shall also be applied pro rata and paid to Participant for Participant’s interest, principal and fees (including prepayment fees).

4.       Lender shall have the right to manage, perform, and enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and to exercise and enforce all of the privileges and rights exercisable by it under the Loan Documents, in its sole discretion, without the concurrence of Participant, including the right to amend the Loan Documents, to amend, modify, waive, terminate or release any of the obligations of Borrower; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, without Participant’s written consent, Lender shall take no action or grant any consent or waiver, or amend the Loan Documents, to the extent any such item (A) materially and adversely affects the Participant’s interests or the Participant Portion in a manner divergent or disproportionate to the effect on the Lender’s interests, (B) reduces the interest rate payable under the Loan Documents, (C) extends the maturity date on the Loan beyond the date twenty (20) months after [_______], 2018 or extending the maturity date on the Loan if the Loan has already been accelerated, if Borrower has filed for dissolution, liquidation or federal bankruptcy protection or if an involuntary federal bankruptcy petition has been filed against Borrower and such petition has not been dismissed within forty-five days, (D) forgives or waives the payment of the Loan; (E) causes or permits the Loan Documents to not provide for the Lender to pass through the express requirements hereof to the Participant (e.g., removing rights to equity or conversion in a manner that does not permit the Lender to provide the shares contemplated hereby); or (F) results in the conversion of the indebtedness underlying the Participation without the consent of each Participant (which may be withheld in Participant’s sole discretion). Notwithstanding clause (F) of the foregoing proviso, Lender may, without the consent of either Participant, elect to convert indebtedness owing to it from Borrower as contemplated by the Loan Documents if (i) Participant’s beneficial interest in the Loan Documents and the indebtedness thereunder remains unchanged after Lender’s conversion thereof (e.g., if Participants collectively hold a $2,191,187.08 Participation in the indebtedness under the Loan Documents prior to Lender’s conversion, they continue to hold such amount, as a beneficial interest in convertible indebtedness and without participating in any

2 

 

conversion, upon completion of the Lender’s conversion) and (ii) to the extent reasonably requested by either Participant, the Borrower and Lender (and, in each case, their affiliates) execute and deliver documentation in connection with Lender’s conversion sufficient to effect and evidence the Participants’ unchanged Participation (and Borrower agrees to reimburse Participants’ reasonable and documented expenses in connection therewith).   To the extent Lender’s direct beneficial interest in the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding under the Loan Documents is or becomes, by virtue of conversion or otherwise, less than the principal amount of such indebtedness beneficially owned by the Participants, taken as a whole, the Borrower and Lender (and, in each case, their affiliates) agree to give notice thereof to Participants and, thereafter, upon Participants’ request, cause the Loan Documents and indebtedness thereunder to be assigned directly to Participants, such that Participants hold such Obligations in their own name and succeed to all rights, including any voting and control rights, of the Lender thereunder (and Borrower agrees to reimburse Participants’ reasonable and documented expenses in connection therewith); provided, to the extent the Lender is counterparty to other participations (not with the Participants) with respect to the Loan Documents that will remain outstanding (after giving effect to any contemplated conversions) at the time of such a required assignment, the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to, at the election of the Participants and as they may agree with such other participants, either (x) maintain such other participations through the Participants’ holding of the Loan Documents or (y) cause such other participations to become direct debt obligations payable to the relevant participation holder (and the parties hereto agree to execute and deliver any documents reasonably necessary to effect or evidence the foregoing). This Agreement shall not be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between Lender and Participant. Participant acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s actions under this Agreement are strictly administrative and any repayment of principal or interest to any Participant is solely dependent upon Borrower. Except for: (i) a breach of the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, Participant exonerates Lender of and from any obligation or liability, express or implied, for any loss, depreciation of or failure to realize upon the Loan or any Collateral, or for failure to collect or receive payments of any sums owing from Borrower or any guarantors, or for any mistake, omission, or error of judgment in passing upon or accepting the Loan, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, or in making of any advances of monies or extensions of credit to Borrower, or in making any examinations, audits or reviews of the affairs of Borrower, or in granting to Borrower extensions of time for payment of the Loan or in administering or monitoring the Collateral for the Loan. Moreover, Lender does not assume and does not have any obligation or liability and Lender undertakes no guaranties, express or implied, with respect to the existing or future financial worth or responsibility of Borrower or any guarantor or of any of the account debtors of Borrower, with respect to the genuineness or value of the Collateral, or with respect to the payment or the collectability of the Loan.

5.       In the event that the Loan is converted into shares of common stock of Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 4, Participant shall receive Twenty-One Million One Hundred and Ninety-One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty-Seven (21,911,870) shares of common stock of Borrower, and additional shares of common stock for one-half of the accrued but unpaid interest due Participant hereunder at a conversion price of ten cents ($0.10) per share, in complete satisfaction of any and all rights or obligations under this Agreement, the Loan and/or the Loan Documents, other than the rights set forth in Section 24.

3 

 

The shares of common stock of Borrower issuable to Participant under this Section 5 shall be allocated 100% to Strome Mezz.

6.       Interest on the Purchase Price outstanding from time to time shall accrue at the interest rate(s) provided in the Loan Documents. The Lender represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the interest rate provided for in the Loan Document is 11% per annum.

7.       Participant represents to Lender that Participant accepts (and is able to bear) the financial risks inherent in the Participation and does not foresee the occurrence of any event that would alter that ability. Further, Participant accepts the full risk of nonpayment of the Loan underlying the Participation by the Borrower and agrees that Lender shall not be responsible for the performance or observance by Borrower or any guarantor.

8.       Lender warrants and represents to Participant on a continuing basis that: (i) it has the right, power and authority to sell and assign to Participant the Participation in the Loan and Loan Documents free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances whatsoever; (ii) Lender has no knowledge of any fact which would impair the validity of the Loan Documents; (iii) there are valid, binding and legally-enforceable first liens in the Collateral; (iv) Borrower is current in its payment of the Obligation, and no setoffs or counterclaims exist that the Borrower may exercise against Lender; and (v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement do not conflict with, or give rise to a default under, any Loan Document.

 

9.       Participant further acknowledges that the Participation is being made at Participant’s request and is the purchase of an interest in an ordinary debt and related collateral security, if any, and is not and shall not be construed to be a “security” as that term is defined under any applicable state or federal securities laws.

10.       Participant acknowledges that Participant had an opportunity to make such review and investigation as Participant and Participant’s attorneys and advisors believe to be necessary to enable Participant to make an independent, informed judgment with respect to the creditworthiness of Borrower, the value and extent of the Collateral, Lender’s rights against Borrower and Borrower’s assets and the desirability of purchasing the Participation. Participant also acknowledges that Participant is experienced and knowledgeable in financial matters, and that Participant is not purchasing the Participation for purposes of investment gain (other than the possible payment of interest thereon), and that Participant has all necessary information to make an independent, informed judgment with respect to the financial status and condition of the Borrower.

11.       Lender shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly collect, when due, all payments of the principal of, the interest on, and all other amounts with respect to the Loan Documents. Upon receipt of any such amount, whether consisting of any payment of principal, interest or fees (including prepayment fees) upon or in connection with the Loan, or any amount realized upon liquidation of the Collateral, or any amount received by the Lender from any guarantor or other person liable on the Loan or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any amount received by setoff or otherwise, and whether payment is voluntary or involuntary, Lender shall pay to Participant its pro rata share (based on Participant’s Participation) of such amounts. Such payments shall be distributed on a pari passu basis with the Lender. Provided,

4 

 

the foregoing shall not apply to amounts applied to reasonable out-of-pocket, third-party costs and expenses, or to indemnities (in respect of third-party claims against Lender), paid to the Lender by the Borrower under the express provisions Loan Documents (as in effect on the date hereof), which may be paid first to the Lender (in each case, to the extent doing so does not reduce the outstanding principal, interest or fees due Lender).

 

12.       Lender agrees, upon learning thereof, to promptly notify Participant in writing of any breach or default by the Borrower in repayment of the Loan or otherwise under the Loan Documents or any agreement or document evidencing, securing, guaranteeing or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents. Such notice shall specify the nature of the breach or default. Lender also agrees to furnish to Participant, promptly after Lender’s receipt (unless the same are publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission): (i) financial statements concerning the operations and financial position of the Borrower, its affiliates and/or any guarantor, including both statement of income and retained earnings, a balance sheet and a statement of cash flows, and (ii) all other information received from the Borrower, its affiliates and/or any guarantor relating to them or the Loan Documents.

 

13.       Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or restrict Lender from in any way exercising any rights or remedies arising out of the Loan Documents or any documents or agreements executed by Borrower or provided for under applicable law. Except as expressly set forth herein, Participant shall have no direct right to enforce any of the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, exercising any rights or remedies arising out of the Loan Documents or any documents or agreements executed by Borrower or provided for under applicable law. Additionally, Lender shall notify Participant in writing of any such actions to enforce any rights or remedies and shall allow Participant the ability be present in any negotiations regarding the same. All rights, remedies and privileges against the Borrower with respect to the Loan, the Collateral, and the Loan Documents may only be exercised by Lender without any requirement of consent or approval of Participant (except to the extent expressly set forth herein). Participant shall not contest, challenge, or object to any of Lender’s claims against Borrower (including any claim under 11 U.S.C. § 506(b) in any bankruptcy proceeding), or the extent, validity, perfection, or priority of Lender’s liens that secure the Loan (except, in each case, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby).

14.       References to Lender in this Agreement shall be deemed to include its respective affiliates, successors, assigns, employees, agents, auditors, officers, directors, and attorneys.

15.       (a)       Participant agrees not to sell, assign, or transfer or suffer any sale, assignment or transfer of, in whole or in part, its Participation or its interest in the Loan without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b)       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Loan Documents to the contrary, Lender may sell, assign, or transfer, in whole or in part, the Loan to any person or entity, without the consent of Participant, upon 5 business days’ prior written notice to Participant. Notwithstanding any such sale, assignment or transfer, or any subsequent assignment or transfer, the senior obligations of Borrower to Lender shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, be and remain senior for purposes of this Agreement, and every assignee or

5 

 

transferee of any of the senior debt or of any interest in it shall, to the extent of such interest be entitled to rely upon and be the third party beneficiary of the terms provided under this Agreement, and be entitled to enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were initially a party to this Agreement. Any such sale, assignment or transfer of a Loan by the Lender (or any assignee or successor thereto) shall be subject to Participant’s rights under this Agreement, which shall be acknowledged in writing by such assignee prior to completion of the applicable assignment.

16.       Participant acknowledges that Lender may sell more than one participation in the Loan and Loan Documents, to the extent (x) such participations do not entail or cover more of an interest than held by Lender or (y) reduce in any manner the Lender’s obligations hereunder.

17.       This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

18.       Any notice or other instrument to be given hereunder must be in writing and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, will be deemed to be duly given if delivered by hand, sent by electronic mail in PDF format, or sent by fax to the Party to which a communication is intended to be given, and any notice so delivered or sent will be deemed to have been duly given at the time of delivery on the day on which it was so delivered or sent.

1.Definitions. As used herein the following term shall have the following meaning:

“Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or a successor statute thereto and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued under that Act, as they each may, from time to time, be in effect.

 

2.        Purchase Rights. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall be exercisable by the Holder in whole or in part commencing on the date hereof. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall expire on June 1, 2023. This Warrant may be exercised for Shares at a price of ten cents ($.10) per share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6 (the “Warrant Purchase Price”).

 

3.        Exercise of Warrant. Subject to Section 2 above, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part and from time to time, by the surrender of this Warrant and the duly executed Notice of Exercise (the form of which is attached as Exhibit A) and a form of subscription letter acceptable to the Company, at the principal office of the company and, except in the case of a “cashless exercise”, by the payment to the Company, by check, of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Purchase Price per share multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased. At the election of the Holder, this warrant may from time to time be exercised for the nearest whole number, rounding upwards, of shares Common Stock determined in accordance with the following formula (a “cashless” exercise):

 

 

X = Y (A-B)

A

 

Where:

 

X =the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder

 

 

 

Y =the number of Shares purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, that portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)

 

A =the fair market value of one Share (using the average of the last reported sale prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of the exercise or, if the Company is not publically traded at the relevant time, using the fair market value as reasonably agreed by the parties hereto)

 

B =the Warrant Purchase Price for one Share

 

 

Upon exercise, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, within a reasonable time, a certificate or certificates, issued in the Holders’ name or in such name or names as the Holder may direct, for the number of Shares so purchased. The Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised.

 

4.        Shares to be Issued: Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants that the Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance herewith, be fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the purchase rights represented by the Warrant may be exercised, the Company will, at all times, have authorized and reserved, for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the right represented by this Warrant.

 

5.        No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu thereof, a cash payment shall be made equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

6.        Adjustments of Warrant Purchase Price and Number of Shares. If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or other change in the corporate structure of the Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Board of Directors of the Company (or if the Company is not the surviving corporation in any such transaction, the Board of Directors of the surviving corporation) in the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to this Warrant, and the number and kind of shares and the price per share then applicable to the shares covered by the unexercised portion of this Warrant (treating this Warrant no worse than similarly-situated warrants and rights).

GUARANTY

 

 

In order to induce Strome Mezzanine Fund LP (“Strome Mezz” or “Participant”) to participate in a principal equivalent amount of $691,187.08 (the “New Purchase Price”) in a loan of up to, as of the date hereof, $20,000,000 (the “Loan”) made by HEP Investments, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (“Lender”) to Zivo Bioscience, Inc. (f/k/a Health Enhancement Products, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”), through the purchase of a participation interest in the Loan pursuant to a Participation Agreement of even date herewith (the amount funded by Participant under such Participation Agreement, the “Participation”), Laith Yaldoo (“Guarantor”), having a direct or indirect interest in Lender, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees unto Participant (i) the full payment, performance and observance of the Guaranty Obligations (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) the payment of all Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined), in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Guaranty.

 

As used herein, the “Guaranty Obligations” shall mean all obligations and liabilities of Borrower to repay the New Purchase Price (excluding any accrued interest thereon) under the terms of the loan documents underlying the Participation but only if, and to the extent that, Borrower does not pay or otherwise satisfy its obligations to repay the Loan plus accrued interest due and payable from time to time on any date on or before the second anniversary of the date hereof because Borrower is insolvent, dissolved, liquidated or files for (or is the subject of an involuntary petition, which is not dismissed within 45 days of filing, with respect to) federal bankruptcy protection during such period of time (the “Guaranty Obligation Limitations”).

 

Except for notices specifically required under this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby waives notice of non-payment, non-performance or non-observance, and all other notices and all proof or demands. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waiving each and every defense which under principles of guaranty or suretyship law would otherwise operate to impair or diminish the liability of Guarantor for the Guaranty Obligations or the Enforcement Costs. Guarantor further covenants and agrees that this Guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and effect as to any renewal, extension, amendment, restatement, modification or assignment of the Loan or any note or loan document executed in connection therewith (whether or not Guarantor shall have received any notice thereof of consented thereto). This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection; provided, however the parties acknowledge and agree that Guarantor’s obligations to pay, perform or observe the Guaranty Obligations are subject to the Guaranty Obligation Limitations.

 

If Guarantor pays or otherwise satisfies the Guaranty Obligations (whether when due hereunder or, at Guarantor’s election, at any time prior thereto), Participant shall be deemed to have assigned and transferred to Guarantor all of Participant’s rights in and to the Participation (and Lender shall, to the extent required, acknowledge and accept such assignment).

 

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective (or shall be reinstated, as the case may be) if at any time any whole or partial payment of the Guaranty Obligations is or is sought to be rescinded or must otherwise be disgorged, restored or returned by Participant upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or

 

 

Guarantor or of or for any substantial part of the property owned by Borrower, all as though such payments or performance, to the extent so rescinded or otherwise disgorged, restored or returned, had not been made. For the avoidance of doubt, the Guarantor acknowledges that this Guaranty will not be compromised in any manner by the compromise, avoidance, reduction or discharge of any of the underlying obligations of the Borrower in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding.

 

If this Guaranty is placed in the hands of one or more attorneys for collection or is collected through any legal proceedings, or if one or more attorneys is retained to represent Participant in any other proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty, and if Participant prevails in such proceedings (as determined by the court or tribunal having competent jurisdiction over Guarantor), then Guarantor shall pay to Participant, promptly upon demand, all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, including without limitation court costs and filing fees, incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as "Enforcement Costs"), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.

 

No failure on the part of Participant to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Participant of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other legal right, remedy or power. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing executed by both Guarantor and Participant.

 

This Guaranty is freely and voluntarily given to Participant by Guarantor, without duress or coercion, and after Guarantor has either consulted with competent legal counsel or has been given an opportunity to do so, and Guarantor has fully and carefully read and understands all of the terms and provisions of this Guaranty.

 

Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Participant that: (a) this Guaranty constitutes Guarantor’s legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights and general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies; and (b) Guarantor is a member of Lender and Guarantor has derived or expects to derive a financial or other advantage from the Guaranty Obligations.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, on or after April 1, 2018, Borrower receives at least an additional $2.0 million of common equity or long-term debt investments (in either case, with (x) no mandatory payment, redemption or similar payment required thereon and (y) no then-present intention by the Borrower to repay, repurchase or redeem such investment, in either such case, prior to the date that is 91 days after the scheduled maturity of the Loan) on or before April 1, 2019, from the Lender, the Guarantor or any other source (including any investors identified by Cascade Partners LLC), this Guaranty shall immediately and automatically become null and void and of no further force or effect; provided, (1) if such investments are redeemed, repurchased or repaid (as opposed to converted into common equity) (in an amount causing the aggregate amount of such investments to be less than $2.0 million) prior to the payment of the Loan in full, this Guaranty shall be

-2

 

reinstated, (2) no termination of this Guaranty shall become effective while the Borrower is insolvent or subject to bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceedings or while amounts are already owing by the Guarantor hereunder and (3) the $2.0 million of investments described in this paragraph shall be calculated to exclude investments, if any, directly or indirectly (including by participation) made by James C. Lin or Mark Strome. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the purchase of debt or equity on the secondary market nor any other investment which is not “new money” to the Borrower shall be included in the calculation of such $2.0 million investment.

 

This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan.
