8.5               Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than Puerto Rico.
 
8.6               Dispute Resolution.
 
(a)               Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or a breach thereof, shall be settled by final and binding arbitration administered in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in accordance with the then existing rules (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof; provided, however, that the law applicable to any controversy shall be the law of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in accordance with Section 8.5 hereof.
 
(b)               In any arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, (i) discovery shall be allowed and governed by the Rules, and the award or decision shall be rendered by a majority of the members of a board of arbitration (the “Board of Arbitration”) consisting of three (3) members, one (1) of whom shall be appointed by each of the respective Parties and a third (3rd) of whom shall be appointed by mutual agreement of said two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators. In the event of failure of said two (2) arbitrators to agree within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the arbitration proceeding upon the appointment of the third (3rd) arbitrator, the third (3rd) arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the Rules. Nothing set forth above shall be interpreted to prevent the Parties from agreeing in writing to submit any dispute to a single arbitrator in lieu of a three (3) member Board of Arbitration.
 
(c)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, the request by either Party for preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, whether prohibitive or mandatory, shall not be subject to arbitration and may be adjudicated only by the courts of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or such Federal Court of the United States of America, sitting in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

If and to the extent any information required to be furnished in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule is contained in this Agreement or in any other Section of the Disclosure Schedule, such information shall be deemed to be included in all Sections of the Disclosure Schedule in which the information would otherwise be required to be included to the extent that the disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face to be applicable to such other Sections of the Disclosure Schedule. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule shall not be considered an admission by Seller that such item or fact (or any non-disclosed item or information of comparable or greater significance) represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance and shall not be construed as an admission by Seller of any non-compliance with, or violation of, any third party rights (including to any intellectual property rights) or any applicable Law of any Governmental Entity, such disclosures having been made solely for the purposes of creating exceptions to the representations made herein or of disclosing any information required to be disclosed under the Agreement.
 
8.8               Construction; Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an article, section, paragraph, clause, schedule or exhibit, such reference shall be deemed to be to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of names and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa. As used in this Agreement: (a) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import will, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, (b) the word “if” and other words of similar import shall be deemed, in each case, to be followed by the phrase “and only if”, (c) any reference herein to “Dollars” or “$” shall mean United States dollars, (d) the use of “or” herein is not intended to be exclusive, (e) references herein to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns, and any reference herein to a Governmental Entity shall be deemed to include reference to any successor thereto, (f) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed as having the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all assets and properties, real and personal, tangible and intangible, and (g) an accounting term not otherwise defined has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, any agreement, instrument or Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of Laws) by succession of comparable successor Laws and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.

Any of the foregoing terms which are defined in the UCC shall have the meaning provided in the UCC, as amended and in effect from time-to-time, as supplemented, expanded or limited by the foregoing.

Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto (or similar documents required by any laws of any applicable jurisdiction) in the jurisdiction where this Security Agreement will be given effect and any other appropriate jurisdiction, relating to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Debtor where permitted by law.
 
(f)           Insurance. Debtor shall maintain such insurance with such insurance companies, in such amounts, and covering such risks, as are at all times reasonably required by Secured Party.

Debtor shall furnish to Secured Party statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Secured Party may request, all in reasonable detail, to the extent Debtor possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense.

(k)           Negative Pledge. Debtor shall not grant a negative pledge upon any of the Collateral in favor of any party.
 
(l)           No Fixtures. It is the intention of the parties hereto that none of the Collateral (except for the “Improvements” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) shall become fixtures. Debtor agrees to take all such reasonable action or actions as may be reasonably necessary to prevent any of the Collateral from becoming fixtures (unless the Collateral already exists as a fixture on such real estate on the date hereof), which actions may include, without limitation, the use of Debtor's commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers of liens, in form satisfactory to Secured Party, from each lessor of real property on which any of the Collateral is or is to be located, to the extent reasonably requested by Secured Party.

Guarantor further agrees that the guaranteed obligations may be extended, renewed or increased, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from guarantor, and that guarantor will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension, renewal, or increase of any guaranteed obligations. “payment in full” or “paid in full” means, with respect to the guaranteed obligations, the indefeasible payment in cash in full of all monetary obligations.
 
 
F-1
 

2.           Obligations not waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, guarantor waives presentment or protest to, demand of or payment from the rgp or any other obligor of any of the guaranteed obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of scienza to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against rgp under the provisions of the note or the security agreement or otherwise, or (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this guaranty, the note or the security agreement.
 
3.           Guaranty of payment; obligations joint and several; separate actions; waiver of statute of limitations; reinstatement of liability. Guarantor further agrees that its guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by scienza to any security that may be held for payment of the guaranteed obligations. The obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of rgp, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against guarantor whether action is brought against rgp or any other person, or whether rgp or any other person is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor acknowledges that this guaranty is absolute and unconditional, there are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this guaranty, and this guaranty is in full force and effect and is binding on guarantor as of the date written below, regardless of whether scienza obtains any guaranties from others or takes any other action contemplated by guarantor. Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting guarantor's liability hereunder orthe enforcement thereof, and guarantor agrees that any payment of any of the guaranteed obligations or other act which shall toll any statute of limitations applicable thereto shall similarly operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable to guarantor's liability hereunder. The liability of guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived and the rights of scienza shall continue if and to the extent for any reason any amount at any time paid on account of any guaranteed obligation guaranteed hereby is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by scienza, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The determination as to whether any amount so paid must be rescinded or restored shall be made by scienza in its sole discretion; provided however, that if scienza chooses to contest any such matter at the request of guarantor, guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold scienza harmless from and against all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expended or incurred by scienza in connection therewith, including without limitation, in any litigation with respect thereto.
 
4.           Security. To the extent that any of the guaranteed obligations are secured, guarantor authorizes scienza to (a) take and hold security for payment of guarantor’s obligations under this guaranty and the guaranteed obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as scienza in their sole discretion may determine and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, other guarantors or other obligors.

5.           [reserved].
 
6.           No discharge or diminishment of guaranty; defenses waived; agreement to pay. Except with to the extent the specific defenses to payment expressly reserved by rgp pursuant to section 11 of the note are applicable:
 
(a)           the obligations of guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than for payment in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the guaranteed obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or terminationwhatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the guaranteed obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of scienza to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the note, the security agreement, the asset purchase agreement or any other document or agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the guaranteed obligations, or to the fullest extent that guarantor may prospectively waive such defenses under applicable law, by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to the extent vary the risk of such guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than payment in full); and
 
(b)           to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of rgp or the unenforceability of the guaranteed obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of rgp, other than payment in full. Scienza may, attheir election, compromise or adjust any part of the guaranteed obligations, make any other accommodation with any other guarantor or obligor or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of guarantor hereunder except forpayment in full. Pursuant to applicable law, guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of guarantor against rgp or any other guarantor, as the case may be, or any security.
 
(c)           in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that scienza has at law or in equity against guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of rgp to pay any guaranteed obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to scienza, in cash the amount of such unpaid guaranteed obligation.
 
7.           Subordination. Upon payment by guarantor of any sums to scienza, all rights of guarantor against rgp arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of scienza and shall forthwith be paid to scienza to be credited against the payment of the guaranteed obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as in the note.
 
 
 
F-3
 

8.           Information. Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the rgp’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the guaranteed obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that scienza will not have any duty to advise guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.

10.           Binding effect; several agreement; assignments. Whenever in this guaranty any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the guarantor that are contained in this guaranty shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This guaranty shall become effective as to guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of guarantor shall have been delivered to scienza and thereafter shall be binding upon guarantor and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of guarantor, scienza, and their respective successors and assigns, except that guarantor shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment shall be void ab initio).

F-4
 

11.           Waivers; amendment.
 
(a)           no failure or delay of scienza of any kind in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights of scienza hereunder and under the note and the security agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that it would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this guaranty or consent to any departure by guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by this subsection (b) below, and then such waiver and consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on guarantor in any case shall entitle guarantor to any other or further notice in similar or other circumstances.
 
(b)           neither this guaranty nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between (i) scienza and (ii) the guarantor with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates.

(b)           if one or more of the provisions contained in this guaranty or in any other agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
 
16.           Counterparts. This guaranty may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract (subject to section 10), and shall become effective as provided in section 10. Delivery of an executed signature page to this guaranty by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this guaranty.
 
17.           Rules of interpretation. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, (b) any reference herein to any person or entity shall be construed to include such person’s or entity’s successors and assigns permitted hereunder, and (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import when used herein, shall be construed to refer to this guaranty in its entirety and not to any particular provision thereof.

18.           Savings clause.
 
(a)           it is the intent of guarantor and scienza that the liability of guarantor under this guaranty as of any date shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render guarantor’s obligations under this guaranty subject to avoidance, discharge or reduction as of such date as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable federal and state laws pertaining to bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, readjustment of debts, dissolution, liquidation or other debtor relief, specifically including, without limitation, the united states bankruptcy code and any fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance laws (collectively, “insolvency laws”), in each instance after giving effect to all other liabilities of guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under applicable insolvency laws of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of guarantor pursuant to (y) applicable law or (z) any agreement (including this guaranty) providing for an equitable allocation among guarantor and other affiliates of the guarantor of obligations arising under guaranties by such parties.
 
 
F-6
 

(b)           the substantive laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the guaranteed obligations as may be determined in any case or proceeding shall hereinafter be referred to as the “avoidance provisions”. To the extent set forth in section 18(a), but only to the extent that the guaranteed obligations would otherwise be subject to avoidance or found unenforceable under the avoidance provisions, if guarantor is not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value or reasonably equivalent value for the guaranteed obligations, or if the guaranteed obligations would render guarantor insolvent, or leave guarantor with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause guarantor to have incurred debts (or to have intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, in each case as of the time any of the guaranteed obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the avoidance provisions and after giving effect to the contribution by guarantor, the maximum guaranteed obligations for which guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not cause the guaranteed obligations (or any other obligations of guarantor to scienza), as so reduced, to be subject to avoidance or unenforceability under the avoidance provisions.
 
(c)           this section 18 is intended solely to preserve the rights of scienza hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the guaranteed obligations of guarantor to be subject to avoidance or unenforceability under the avoidance provisions, and neither the guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this section 18 as against scienza that would not otherwise be available to such person or entity under the avoidance provisions.

Sublandlord shall have, in addition to the remedy above provided, any other rights or remedies available to Sublandlord on account of any Subtenant default, either in law or equity. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Sublease, the parties and-or its affiliates, have entered into a financing agreement. The parties have agreed that it shall also be a default under this Sublease if Subtenant at any point shall be (a) in monetary default, or (b) in default due to failure to comply with any requirements pertaining to any collateral assets, both as set forth under any other agreements, such as the one previously mentioned, contracts, or obligations between Subtenant and Sublandlord, or between Subtenant and any affiliates of Sublandlord, including, but not limited to Landlord and Sciencza Labs, Inc.

Following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default by any of the parties, the other party shall be entitled and may (i) terminate this Sublease by giving written notice of termination to the party that is in default, (ii) seek specific performance of the obligations of the party that is in default in a civil action, plus actual compensatory damages, costs and attorney’s fees incurred as a result of such default (if such court finds that the party was in default), including those incurred in enforcing its rights hereunder, and (iii) perform any actions necessary to cure the Event of Default using commercially reasonable efforts. If the Event of Default is caused by the Sublandlord, the Sublandlord shall return and deliver to Subtenant the Security Deposit.
 
8.
SECURITY DEPOSIT: Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord a security deposit in the amount equivalent to one month of rent ("Security Deposit"). If Subtenant elects to construct the private entrance and reception area as permitted in Section 5 of this Sublease, the Security Deposit will be reduced proportionally according to the rent reduction as provided in Section 6 of this Sublease, and the excess portion of the Security Deposit immediately return to Subtenant. The Security Deposit shall be held by Sublandlord without liability for interest and as security for the performance by Subtenant of Subtenant's covenants and obligations under this Sublease, it being expressly understood that the Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Sublandlord's damages in case of default by Subtenant. Sublandlord may not commingle the Security Deposit with Sublandlord's other funds nor accumulate interest thereto.

NO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Subtenant shall have no rights whatsoever to assign this Sublease or sublet all or any portion of the Subleased Premises, without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that Subtenant shall have the right to transfer this Sublease (i) to any affiliate, parent company or subsidiary of Subtenant, or (ii) as part of a sale of its business, stock and/or substantially all of its assets to any Person (in Landlord’s reasonable judgment): (A) with a similar or stronger financial condition; (B) that is committed to continue a similar business operation at the Subleased Premises; and (C) with similar recognized and/or reputable experience in the same industry as Subtenant (the “Authorized Lease Transfer”). Any other attempted assignment or sublease by Subtenant shall be void. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting including any Authorized Lease Transfer, Subtenant shall at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent and for compliance with all of Subtenant's other obligations under this Sublease (regardless of whether Sublandlord's approval has been obtained for any such assignments or sublettings).
