RECITALS
WHEREAS, Lender is a
shareholder of WorldGate Communications, Inc.;
WHEREAS, Borrower has
requested that Lender make advances to Borrower from time to time on a revolving
basis in an aggregate principal amount at any time thereof not to exceed three
million dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Maximum Principal Amount”);
and
WHEREAS, Lender is willing to
make such advances to Borrower on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein.
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.
(a) Commitment to
Lend. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower (each a “Loan Advance” and
collectively, the “Loan
Advances”) from time to time, during the period beginning on the date
hereof and ending on the Maturity Date (the “Draw Period”), in an amount up
to, but not to exceed, the Maximum Principal Amount in the aggregate outstanding
at any time, for the purposes stated herein only. During the Draw
Period, subject to the terms and condition of this Agreement, Borrower may
borrow, repay, and re-borrow amounts up to the Maximum Principal Amount at any
time and from time to time.
(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.
2
3. Conditions of
Loans.

respects on the date of the Notice of Borrowing and the Loan Date (as defined

Lender’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and satisfaction of the other
conditions set forth in Section 3(a), Lender shall deliver the applicable Loan
Advance to Borrower on the Loan Date by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account specified by Borrower.
4. Representations
and Warranties of Borrower. Each Borrower
hereby represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof as
follows:
(a) Binding
Agreement. The Loan Documents constitute or will constitute,
when issued and delivered, valid and binding obligations of Borrower,
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
in general, and general principles of equity.
(b) Organization; Power;
Authorization. Each Borrower is a Registered Organization duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its formation or incorporation, as the case may
be. Each Borrower has all requisite power and authority (corporate
and otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform the Loan Documents and to
consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The execution,
delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all
necessary action on the part of Borrower.
3
(c) Non-Contravention. Neither
the execution and the delivery of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby, will (a) violate any injunction, judgment,
order, decree, ruling, charge or any provision of Borrower’s charter documents,
or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any restriction of any government, governmental
agency, or court to which Borrower is subject, or (b) conflict with, result in a
material breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of,
create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, any
material agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement
to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its
assets are subject.
(d) Collateral.
(i) Borrower
has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the
Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of
any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. The security interests and Liens
granted to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which
Borrower is a party constitute valid and perfected first priority liens and
security interests in and upon the Collateral to which Borrower now has or
hereafter acquires rights other than with respect to Permitted
Liens. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the
Account Debtors.
(ii) All
Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from
material defects.
(iii) Borrower
is the owner of its intellectual property, except for non-exclusive licenses
granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each patent is
valid and enforceable and no part of the intellectual property of the Borrower
has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and to the best
of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the
intellectual property violates the rights of any third party.
(iv) Borrower
is not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license or other agreement with
respect to which Borrower is the licensee (A) that prohibits or otherwise
restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in
such license or agreement or any other property, or (B) for which a default
under or termination of could interfere with Lender’s right to sell any
Collateral. Borrower shall provide written notice to Lender within
ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any such license or agreement
which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Borrower’s business or
financial condition (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially
available to the public). Borrower shall take such steps as Lender requests to
obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any Person whose consent or waiver is
necessary for (Y) all such licenses or agreements to be deemed “Collateral” and
for Lender to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted
or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether
now existing or entered into in the future, and (Z) Lender to have the ability
in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in
accordance with Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.
4
(e) Tax Returns and
Payments. Borrower has filed, or caused to be filed, in a
timely manner all material tax returns, reports and declarations which are
required to be filed by it (without requests for extension except as previously
disclosed in writing to Lender). All information in such tax returns,
reports and declarations is complete and accurate in all material
respects. Borrower has paid or caused to be paid prior to delinquency
all taxes due and payable or claimed due and payable in any assessment received
by it, except taxes the validity of which are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and available to Borrower and with
respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside on its
books. Adequate provision has been made by Borrower for the payment
of all accrued and unpaid federal, state, county, local, foreign and other taxes
whether or not yet due and payable and whether or not disputed.
5. Covenants.
(a) Affirmative
Covenants.
(i) Maintenance of
Properties. Borrower shall maintain all tangible property
included in the Collateral in good order and repair, subject to normal wear and
tear, and make all needed and proper repairs to its properties so that

accordance with prudent business management and in compliance with all

insurance with respect to the Collateral against loss or damage and all other

businesses and similarly situated.

take further action as Lender reasonably requests to perfect or continue
Lender’s security interest in the Collateral or to otherwise effect the purposes
of this Agreement.

which Lender shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by
Borrower to Lender or otherwise received by Lender under this Agreement when any
such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this
Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Lender may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account
balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of
Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the
Obligations in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole
discretion. If Lender, in its good faith business judgment, directly
or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with
any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Lender shall have the option,
exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal
amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until

regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the
control of Lender, Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the
Collateral.
8. Other
Provisions.
(a) Demand Waiver;
Representations and Expenses. Borrower waives presentment,
notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Agreement and the Note
and all other notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default or endorsement of the Loan Documents, and shall pay
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of collection when incurred by
Lender, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses
(b) Waivers by Lender; Remedies
Cumulative. Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require
strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Lender
thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No
waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Lender and then is only
effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Lender’s
rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
cumulative. Lender has all rights and remedies provided under the
Code, by law, or in equity. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy
is not an election, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a
continuing waiver. Any delay in exercising any remedy by Lender is not a waiver,
election, or acquiescence.
9
(c) Binding Agreement; Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal and substantive laws of the State of Delaware and
without regard to any conflicts of laws concepts which would apply the
substantive law of some other jurisdiction.
(d) Further
Assurances. The parties hereto agree to execute and deliver
all such other papers and documents and to take such other further actions that
may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the terms of this
Agreement.
(e) Entire Agreement;
Amendment. The Loan Documents contain the entire agreement
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no
agreements, understandings, representations, or warranties regarding the subject
matter hereof that are not set forth herein. This Agreement may not
be amended or revised except by a writing signed by Borrower and
Lender.
(f) Notices. Any
notices required or permitted to be sent to Borrower or Lender shall be
delivered to the address of Borrower or Lender, as applicable, as set forth
below. All notices required or permitted hereunder, to be effective,
shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) when sent by
confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and
if not, then on the next Business Day, (ii) three (3) days after having been
sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,

of such assignee or transferee. Any attempted assignment in violation
of this Section 8(k) shall be void and the other party hereto shall not

(l) Borrower
Matters. Any Borrower may, acting singly, request a Loan
Advance hereunder. Each Borrower hereby appoints each other Borrower as such
Borrower’s agent for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to
requesting Loan Advances hereunder. Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and
severally obligated to repay all Loan Advances made hereunder, regardless of
which Borrower actually receives said Loan Advances, as if each Borrower
hereunder directly received all Loan Advances. Each Borrower waives any
suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable
law. Each Borrower waives any right to require Lender to: (i) proceed
against any Borrower or any other Person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any
security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Lender may exercise or not exercise
any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds
(including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without
affecting any Borrower’s liability hereunder. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower
irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including,
without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Lender under
this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of
reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter
primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made
by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or otherwise and all rights that it might have to
benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result
of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection
with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification,
reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 8(l) shall
be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this
Section 8(l), such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Lender and such
payment shall be promptly delivered to Lender for application to the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
