FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” relating to NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (referred to individually as the “Parent Company” or collectively with all of its subsidiaries as “NeoGenomics” or the “Company” in this Form 10-Q), which represent the Company’s current expectations or beliefs including, but not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may”, “anticipation”, “intend”, “could”, “estimate”, or “continue” or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel, variability of quarterly results, competition and the ability of the Company to continue its growth strategy, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

NEOGENOMICS, INC.
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

NOTE A – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

Nature of Business

NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the “Parent”) and its subsidiary, NeoGenomics, Inc., a Florida corporation, doing business as NeoGenomics Laboratories (“NEO”, “NeoGenomics” or the “Subsidiary”) (collectively referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) operates as a certified “high complexity” clinical laboratory in accordance with the federal government’s Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (“CLIA”), and is dedicated to the delivery of clinical diagnostic services to pathologists, oncologists, urologists, hospitals, and other laboratories throughout the United States.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent and the Subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and include all adjustments, in the opinion of management, which are necessary to make the financial statements not misleading. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Therefore, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
 
We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 128 “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS 128”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares outstanding as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, which consisted of employee stock options and certain warrants issued to consultants and other providers of financing to the Company, were excluded from diluted net loss per common share calculations as of such dates because they were anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we reported net loss per share and as such basic and diluted loss per share were equivalent.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides a new single authoritative definition of fair value and provides enhanced guidance for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and requires additional disclosures related to the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008 for financial assets and financial liabilities within its scope and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

7


In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”) which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of FSP FAS 157-2. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of SFAS 157 and FSP FAS 157-2 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” (“SFAS 159”).  SFAS 159 permits an entity to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The Company adopted this Statement as of January 1, 2008 and has elected not to apply the fair value option to any of its financial instruments.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51.” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Its intention is to eliminate the diversity in practice regarding the accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. This Statement is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009 and currently, we do not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 (“SFAS 162”), “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. While this statement formalizes the sources and hierarchy of GAAP within the authoritative accounting literature, it does not change the accounting principles that are already in place. This statement will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE B – DEBT OBLIGATION

Revolving Credit and Security Agreement

On February 1, 2008, our subsidiary, NeoGenomics, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Borrower”), entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility” or “Credit Agreement”) with CapitalSource Finance LLC (“CapitalSource”), the terms of which provide for borrowings based on eligible accounts receivable up to a maximum borrowing of $3,000,000, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, CapitalSource shall make advances to us from time to time during the three (3) year term, and the Credit Facility may be drawn, repaid and redrawn from time to time as permitted under the Credit Agreement.

Interest on outstanding advances under the Credit Facility are payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month at an annual rate based on the one-month LIBOR plus 3.25%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 3.14%. At September 30, 2008, the effective rate of interest was 6.50%.

To secure the payment and performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), we granted CapitalSource a continuing security interest in and lien upon, all of our rights, title and interest in and to our Accounts (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which primarily consist of accounts receivable and cash balances held in lock box accounts. Furthermore, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Parent guaranteed the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of our obligations. The Parent guaranty is a continuing guarantee and shall remain in force and effect until the indefeasible cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement.

On September 30, 2008, the available credit under the Credit Facility was approximately $851,000 and the outstanding borrowing was $1,176,221 after netting of $66,857 in compensating cash on hand. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company and CapitalSource signed a first amendment to the Credit Agreement, as further explained in Note G.

8


NOTE C – LIQUIDITY
 
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2008, we had stockholders’ equity of $2,487,001. On February 1, 2008, we entered into a revolving credit facility with CapitalSource Finance, LLC, which allows us to borrow up to $3,000,000 based on a formula which is based upon our eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2008, we had approximately $631,000 in cash on hand and $851,000 of availability under our Credit Facility. On November 5, 2008, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion”) that provides for future sales of our common stock to Fusion in amounts up to $8.0 million over the next 30 months in amounts and at times that are solely in our discretion as described in Footnote G. On November 5, 2008, we also entered into a master lease agreement with Leasing Technologies International, Inc which allows us to draw as much as $1.0 million over the next twelve months to purchase capital equipment as described in Footnote G. As such, we believe we have adequate resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months and accordingly our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE D – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

US Labs Settlement

On October 26, 2006, Accupath Diagnostics Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a US Labs, a California corporation (“US Labs”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles (entitled Accupath Diagnostics Laboratories, Inc. v. NeoGenomics, Inc., et al., Case No. BC 360985) (the “Lawsuit”) against the Company and Robert Gasparini, as an individual, and certain other employees and non-employees of NeoGenomics (the “Defendants”) with respect to claims arising from discussions with current and former employees of US Labs. On March 18, 2008, we reached a preliminary agreement to settle US Labs' claims, and in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting For Contingencies, as of December 31, 2007 we accrued a $375,000 loss contingency, which consisted of $250,000 to provide for the Company's expected share of this settlement, and $125,000 to provide for the Company's share of the estimated legal fees up to the date of settlement.
 
On April 23, 2008, the Company and US Labs entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the "Settlement Agreement") whereby both parties agreed to settle and resolve all claims asserted in and arising out of the aforementioned lawsuit. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Defendants are required to pay $500,000 to US Labs, of which $250,000 was paid with funds from the Company's insurance carrier in May 2008 and the remaining $250,000 is being paid by the Company in equal installments of $31,250 commencing on May 31, 2008. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, there are certain provisions agreed to in the event of default. As of September 30, 2008, the remaining amount due was $93,750, and no events of default had occurred.
 
Private Placement of Common Stock and Related SEC Review

During 2007, we received a comment letter from the SEC Staff questioning certain matters disclosed in our Form 10-KSB as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006. As a result, we were unable to effectively complete the Registration Statement filed in connection with the June 2007 private placement (the “Private Placement”) of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2007 and pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement, the Company accrued $282,000 in penalties as liquidated damages, which were expected to be incurred for the period commencing on the 120th day following the Private Placement through June 2008, the date we anticipated to be able to effectively complete the Registration Statement for the Private Placement shares.

9


On April 29, 2008, we filed an amended 2006 Form 10-KSB/A with the SEC, and on April 30, 2008 we received correspondence from the SEC that they have completed their review and that they had no further comments.

On June 3, 2008, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1/A, and received a notice of effectiveness for the Private Placement shares on July 1, 2008. In September, 2008 the Company paid $40,500 in cash and issued 170,088 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share for a value of $170,088 for a total of $210,588 to the holders of the Private Placement shares to settle the penalty amounts due. The remaining $71,412 in accrued penalties was reversed in September, 2008 as certain shareholders had previously sold their shares, thus forfeiting their rights to any penalties paid.

NOTE E – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, Steven C. Jones, a director of the Company, earned $105,000 and $50,000, respectively, for various consulting work performed in connection with his duties as Acting Principal Financial Officer.

During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, George O’Leary, a director of the Company, earned $9,500 and $9,500, respectively, in cash for various consulting work performed for the Company.

On September 30, 2008, the Company entered into a sale leaseback arrangement for approximately $130,000 of used laboratory equipment with Gulfpointe Capital, LLC. Three members of our board of directors Steven Jones, Peter Petersen and Marvin Jaffe are affiliated with Gulfpointe Capital, LLC. This sale/leaseback transaction was entered into after it was determined that Leasing Technologies International Inc. was unable to consummate this transaction under the lease line described in Footnote G and Messrs Jones, Peterson and Jaffe recused themselves from all aspects of both sides of this transaction. The lease has a 30 month term and a lease rate factor of 0.0397/month, which equates to monthly payments of $5,154.88 during the term. Gulfpointe Capital, LLC also received 32,475 warrants with an exercise price of $1.08, and a five year term. 25% of the warrants vested upfront and 75% vested on October 2, 2008 when the lease was funded. At the end of the term the Company options are as follows:

a)     Purchase not less than all of the equipment for its then Fair Market Value (“FMV”) not to exceed 15% of the original equipment cost.

b)     Extend the lease term for a minimum of six (6) months.

c)     Return not less than all the equipment at conclusion of the lease term.

NOTE F – POWER 3 MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC.

On April 2, 2007, we entered into an agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Power3 Medical Products, Inc., a New York Corporation (“Power3”), regarding the formation of a joint venture Contract Research Organization (“CRO”) and the issuance of convertible debentures and related securities by Power3 to us. Power3 is an early stage company engaged in the discovery, development, and commercialization of protein biomarkers. Under the terms of the agreement, NeoGenomics and Power3 agreed to enter into a joint venture agreement pursuant to which the parties would jointly own a CRO and begin commercializing Power3’s intellectual property portfolio of seventeen patents pending by developing diagnostic tests and other services around one or more of the more than 500 differentially expressed protein biomarkers that Power3 believes it has discovered to date. Power3 has agreed to license all of its intellectual property on a non-exclusive basis to the CRO for selected commercial applications as well as provide certain management personnel. We will provide access to cancer samples, management and sales & marketing personnel, laboratory facilities and working capital. Subject to final negotiation, we will own a minimum of 60% and up to 80% of the new CRO venture.

10

 
As part of the agreement, we provided $200,000 of working capital to Power3 by purchasing a convertible debenture on April 17, 2007 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between us and Power3. The debenture has a term of two years and a 6% per annum interest rate which is payable quarterly on the last calendar day of each quarter. We were also granted two options to increase our stake in Power3 to up to 60% of Power3’s fully diluted shares. The first option (the “First Option”) is a fixed option to purchase convertible preferred stock of Power3 that is convertible into such number of shares of Power3 Common Stock, in one or more transactions, up to 20% of Power3’s voting Common Stock at a purchase price per share, which will also equal the initial conversion price per share, equal to the lesser of (a) $0.20 per share, or (b) $20,000,000 divided by the fully-diluted shares outstanding on the date of the exercise of the First Option. This First Option is exercisable for a period starting on the date of purchase of the convertible debenture by NeoGenomics and extending until the day which is the later of (y) November 16, 2007 or (z) the date that certain milestones specified in the agreement have been achieved. As of September 30, 2008, the milestones described in the letter agreement had not been met. The First Option is exercisable in cash or NeoGenomics Common Stock at our option, provided, however, that we must include at least $1.0 million of cash in the consideration if we elect to exercise this First Option. The second option (the “Second Option”), which is only exercisable to the extent that we have exercised the First Option, provides that we will have the option to increase our stake in Power3 to up to 60% of fully diluted shares of Power3 over the twelve month period beginning on the expiration date of the First Option in one or a series of transactions by purchasing additional convertible preferred stock of Power3 that is convertible into voting Common Stock and the right to receive additional warrants. The purchase price per share, and the initial conversion price of the Second Option convertible preferred stock will, to the extent such Second Option is exercised within six months of exercise of the First Option, be the lesser of (a) $0.40 per share or (b) $40,000,000 divided by the fully diluted shares outstanding on the date of exercise of the Second Option. The purchase price per share, and the initial conversion price of the Second Option convertible preferred stock will, to the extent such Second Option is exercised after six months, but within twelve months of exercise of the First Option, be the lesser of (y) $0.50 per share or (z) an equity price per share equal to $50,000,000 divided by the fully diluted shares outstanding on the date of any purchase. The exercise price of the Second Option may be paid in cash or in any combination of cash and our Common Stock at our option.

As of September 30, 2008, the parties were engaged in negotiations to clarify and amend certain terms of the Letter Agreement. Until such time as an agreement can be reached with Power3 modifying the original terms of the Letter Agreement, it is the position of NeoGenomics that Power3 has not yet met the milestones outlined in the original agreement and, as a result, the First Option and Second Option are still valid.

The convertible debenture, because it is convertible into restricted shares of stock, is recorded under the fair value method at its initial cost of $200,000 if the stock price of Power3 is less than $0.20 per share or at fair value if the stock price of Power3 is greater than $0.20 per share. As of September 30, 2008, the stock price of Power3 was less than $0.20 per share and, accordingly, the convertible debenture is carried at cost and is included in Other Assets.

NOTE G – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Common Stock Purchase Agreement

On November 5, 2008, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Agreement”) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC an Illinois limited liability company (“Fusion”).  The Stock Agreement, which has a term of 30 months, provides for the future funding of up to $8.0 million from sales of our common stock to Fusion on a when and if needed basis as determined by us in our sole discretion.  In consideration for entering into this Stock Agreement, on October 10, 2008, we issued to Fusion 17,500 shares of our common stock (valued at $14,700 on the date of issuance) and $17,500 as a due diligence expense reimbursement. In addition, on November 5, 2008, we issued to Fusion 400,000 shares of our common stock (valued at $280,000 on the date of issuance) as a commitment fee.  Concurrently with entering into the Stock Agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Fusion.  Under the registration rights agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the 417,500 shares that have already been issued to Fusion and at least 3.0 million shares that may be issued to Fusion under the Stock Agreement.  Presently, we expect to sell no more than this initial 3.0 million shares to Fusion during the term of this Stock Agreement. 

11


Under the Stock Agreement, after the SEC has declared effective the registration statement related to the transaction, we have the right to sell to Fusion shares of our common stock from time to time in amounts between $50,000 and $1.0 million, depending on the market price of our common stock.  The purchase price of the shares related to any future funding under the Stock Agreement will be based on the prevailing market prices of our stock at the time of such sales without any fixed discount, and the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares to Fusion.  Fusion shall not have the right or the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any business day that the price of our common stock is below $0.45 per share.  The Stock Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us.  There are no negative covenants, restrictions on future funding from other sources, penalties, further fees or liquidated damages in the agreement. 
 
Given our current liquidity position from cash on hand and our availability under our Credit Facility with CapitalSource, we have no immediate plans to issue common stock under the Stock Agreement. If and when we do elect to sell shares to Fusion under this agreement, we expect to do so opportunistically and only under conditions deemed favorable by the Company.  Any proceeds received by the Company from sales under the Stock Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes, working capital, and/or for expansion activities. 

Equipment Lease Line

On November 5, 2008, the Subsidiary entered into a master lease agreement with Leasing Technologies International, Inc. The master lease agreement establishes the general terms and conditions pursuant to which the Subsidiary may lease equipment pursuant to a $1,000,000 lease line. Advances under the lease line may be made for one year by executing equipment schedules for each advance. The lease term of any equipment schedules issued under the lease line will be for 36 months. The lease rate factor applicable for each equipment schedule is 0.0327/month. If the Subsidiary makes use of the entire lease line, the monthly rent would be $32,700. Monthly rent for the leased equipment is payable in advance on the first day of each month. The obligations of the Subsidiary are guaranteed by the Parent Company. At the end of the term of each equipment schedule the Subsidiary may:

(a)   Renew the lease with respect to such equipment for an additional 12 months at fair market value;
(b)   Purchase the equipment at fair market value, which price will not be less than 10% of cost nor more than 14% of cost;
(c)   Extend the term for an additional six months at 35% of the monthly rent paid by lessee during the initial term, equipment may then be purchased for the lesser of fair market value or 8% of cost; or
(a)   Return the equipment subject to a remarketing charge equal to 6% of cost.

First Amendment to Revolving Credit and Security Agreement

On November 3, 2008 the Company and CapitalSource signed a first amendment to the Credit Agreement.  This amendment increased the amount allowable under the Credit Agreement to pay towards the settlement of the US Labs lawsuit to $250,000 from $100,000 and documented other administrative agreements between NeoGenomics and CapitalSource.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the Notes thereto included herein. The information contained below includes statements of the Company’s or management’s beliefs, expectations, hopes, goals and plans that, if not historical, are forward-looking statements subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion on forward-looking statements, see the information set forth in the Introductory Note to this Quarterly Report under the caption “Forward Looking Statements”, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions and select accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
          
While many operational aspects of our business are subject to complex federal, state and local regulations, the accounting for our business is generally straightforward with net revenues primarily recognized upon completion of the testing process. Our revenues are primarily comprised of a high volume of relatively low dollar transactions, and about one-half of total operating costs and expenses consist of employee compensation and benefits. Due to the nature of our business, several of our accounting policies involve significant estimates and judgments. These accounting policies have been described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, and there have been no material changes in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Overview

NeoGenomics operates a network of cancer testing laboratories that specifically target the rapidly growing genetic and molecular testing segment of the medical laboratory industry. We currently operate in three laboratory locations: Fort Myers, Florida, Nashville, Tennessee and Irvine, California. We currently offer throughout the United States the following types of testing services to oncologists, pathologists, urologists, hospitals, and other laboratories: a) cytogenetics testing, which analyzes human chromosomes, b) Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) testing, which analyzes abnormalities at the chromosome and gene levels, c) flow cytometry testing services, which analyzes gene expression of specific markers inside cells and on cell surfaces, d) morphological testing, which analyzes cellular structures and e) molecular testing which involves analysis of DNA and RNA and prediction of the clinical significance of various cancers. All of these testing services are widely used in the diagnosis and prognosis of various types of cancer.
 
Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) under the symbol “NGNM.”

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 as Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

Revenue

Revenues increased 61.7%, or $1.9 million, to $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, revenues increased 82.8%, or $6.4 million, to $14.1 million as compared to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily attributable to increases in case and testing volume resulting from wide acceptance of our bundled testing product offering and our industry leading turnaround times, which has resulted in new customers.

13


Test volume increased 48.3%, or 2,730 tests, to 8,384 tests for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 5,654 tests for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, test volume increased 60.8%, or 8,717 tests, to 23,049 tests as compared to 14,332 tests for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Average revenue per test increased 9.1% to $602.43 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $552.30 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, average revenue per test increased 13.7% to $611.52 as compared to $537.91 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in average revenue per test is primarily attributable to an increase in certain Medicare reimbursements for 2008, and an increase in our test mix of flow cytometry testing, which has the highest reimbursement rate of any test we offer. Revenues per test are a function of both the nature of the test and the payer (Medicare, Medicaid, third party insurer, institutional client etc.).

Our policy is to record as revenue the amounts that we expect to collect based on published or contracted amounts and/or prior experience with each payer. We have established a reserve for uncollectible amounts based on estimates of what we will collect from a) third-party payers with whom we do not have a contractual arrangement or sufficient experience to accurately estimate the amount of reimbursement we will receive, b) co-payments directly from patients, and c) those procedures that are not covered by insurance or other third party payers. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts decreased 31.7%, or approximately $132,000 to $283,000, as compared to $415,000 at December 31, 2007. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately 7.7% and 11.4% of accounts receivable on September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. This decrease is primarily attributed to our new billing system that went live in the first quarter of 2008, and the strong billings and collections team we built in the last year. We expect to return to an allowance between 6%-7% of our gross receivables by the end of the year, as we continue to resolve claims that are greater than 150 days outstanding.
 
Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes payroll and payroll related costs for performing tests, depreciation of laboratory equipment, rent for laboratory facilities, laboratory reagents, probes and supplies, and delivery and courier costs relating to the transportation of specimens to be tested.

Cost of revenue increased 66.7%, or $1.0 million, to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, cost of revenue increased 81.5%, or $3.0 million, to $6.6 million as compared to $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in cost of revenue for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily attributable to increases in all areas of costs of revenue as the Company scaled its operations in order to meet increasing demand. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 50.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 48.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 cost of revenue as a percentage of sales decreased to 46.7% as compared to 47.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Accordingly, this resulted in gross margin decreasing to 49.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 51.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 gross margin increased to 53.3% as compared to 53.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in gross margins for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to increased courier cost and personnel and related expenses as well as certain one-time charges associated with validating our new Immunohistochemistry test offerings and the completion of a low margin contract in our contract research organization. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had higher than usual outsourcing fees related to the performance of certain molecular tests that we have now brought back in house.

14


General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased 21.0%, or $457,000, to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 general and administrative expenses increased 36.1%, or $2.0 million, to $7.7 million as compared to $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increases in general and administrative expenses are primarily a result of adding sales and marketing personnel as well as corporate personnel to generate and support revenue growth. We anticipate general and administrative expenses will continue to grow as a result of our expected revenue growth. However, we expect these expenses to decline as a percentage of revenue as our infrastructure costs stabilize.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 52.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 69.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 54.7% as compared to 73.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. These decreases as compared to the same periods last year were primarily a result of greater economies of scale in our business from spreading our wage expense over a greater revenue base as well as a decrease in professional fees as a result of settling the litigation with US Labs earlier this year.

Bad debt expense increased 22.8%, or $52,000, to $280,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $228,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 bad debt expense increased 116.4%, or $589,000 to $1,095,000 as compared to $506,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This increase was a result of the significant increases in revenue. Bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue was 5.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 7.3% for the months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue was 7.8% as compared to 6.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

The decrease in bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to three months ended September 30, 2007 is the result of many changes we have made in our billing practices as well as the implementation of a more effective billing system, which we believe have corrected the billing issues we experienced towards the end of last year. Moving forward, we expect that bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue will run between 5%-7% of revenue.

The increase in bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was a result of the increased reserves that we took earlier this year to address the previously discussed billing issues we experienced in late 2007.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense net, which primarily represents interest on borrowing arrangements, increased 423.5%, or $61,000 to $75,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $14,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 interest expense, net decreased 3.1%, or $6,000 to $199,000 as compared to $206,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is related to our new credit facility with Capital Source, while interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was related to our previous credit facility with Aspen Select Healthcare, which had a higher average balance and higher interest rate, but was paid off in the second quarter of 2007, thus resulting in no interest expense in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the third quarter of 2008.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the foregoing, we reported a net loss of approximately $(195,000) or ($0.01) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to a net loss of approximately ($591,000) or ($0.02) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an improvement of $396,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we reported a net loss of approximately ($388,000) or ($0.01) per share as compared to a net loss of ($1,784,000) or ($0.06) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an improvement of almost $1.4 million.

15


Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our operating activities used approximately $182,000 in cash compared with approximately $2,189,000 used in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We invested approximately $370,000 on new equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared with approximately $607,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. As of November 5, 2008, we had approximately $625,000 in cash on hand and $1,250,000 of availability under our Credit Facility with CapitalSource. On November 5, 2008, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Agreement”) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion”) that provides for future sales of our common stock to Fusion in amounts up to $8.0 million over the next 30 months in amounts and at times that are solely in our discretion. If we elect to sell stock to Fusion under the Stock Agreement, any proceeds received by us would be used for general corporate purposes or to pursue strategic opportunities that may arise. On November 5, 2008, we also entered into a master lease agreement with Leasing Technologies International, Inc. (“LTI”), which allows us to draw as much as $1.0 million over the next twelve months to purchase capital equipment. At the present time, we anticipate that based on i) our current business plan and operations, ii) our existing cash balances, iii) the availability of our accounts receivable Credit Facility with CapitalSource, iv) the availability of equity capital under the Fusion Stock Agreement, and v) the availability of equipment financing under the master lease agreement with LTI, we will have adequate liquidity for at least the next twelve months. This estimate of our cash needs does not include any additional funding which may be required for growth in our business beyond that which is planned or cash that may be required to pursue strategic transactions or acquisitions. In the event that the Company grows faster than we currently anticipate or we engage in strategic transactions or acquisitions and our cash on hand and/or our availability under the CapitalSource Credit Facility, the Fusion Stock Agreement, or the LTI master lease agreement is not sufficient to meet our financing needs, we may need to raise additional capital from other sources. In such event, we may not be able to obtain such funding on attractive terms, or at all, and the Company may be required to curtail its operations. In the event that we do need to raise additional capital, we would seek to raise this additional money through issuing a combination of debt and/or equity securities primarily through banks and/or other large institutional investors. At September 30, 2008, we had stockholders’ equity of $2,487,000.
 
Capital Expenditures

We currently forecast capital expenditures in order to execute on our business plan. The amount and timing of such capital expenditures will be determined by the volume of business, but we currently anticipate that we will need to purchase approximately $1.5 million to $2.0 million of additional capital equipment during the next twelve months. We plan to fund these expenditures through capital lease financing arrangements and through our master lease agreement with LTI. If we are unable to obtain such funding, we will need to pay cash for these items or we will be required to curtail our equipment purchases, which may have an impact on our ability to continue to grow our revenues.

Subsequent Events

Common Stock Purchase Agreement

On November 5, 2008, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Agreement”) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC an Illinois limited liability company (“Fusion”).  The Stock Agreement, which has a term of 30 months, provides for the future funding of up to $8.0 million from sales of our common stock to Fusion on a when and if needed basis as determined by us in our sole discretion.  In consideration for entering into this Stock Agreement, on October 10, 2008, we issued to Fusion 17,500 shares of our common stock (valued at $14,700 on the date of issuance) and $17,500 as a due diligence expense reimbursement. In addition, on November 5, 2008, we issued to Fusion 400,000 shares of our common stock (valued at $280,000 on the date of issuance) as a commitment fee. Concurrently with entering into the Stock Agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Fusion.  Under the registration rights agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the 417,500 shares that have already been issued to Fusion and at least 3.0 million shares that may be issued to Fusion under the Stock Agreement.  Presently, we expect to sell no more than this initial 3.0 million shares to Fusion during the term of this Stock Agreement. 

16


Under the Stock Agreement, after the SEC has declared effective the registration statement related to the transaction, we have the right to sell to Fusion shares of our common stock from time to time in amounts between $50,000 and $1.0 million, depending on the market price of our common stock.  The purchase price of the shares related to any future funding under the Stock Agreement will be based on the prevailing market prices of our stock at the time of such sales without any fixed discount, and the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares to Fusion.  Fusion shall not have the right or the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any business day that the price of our common stock is below $0.45 per share.  The Stock Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us.  There are no negative covenants, restrictions on future funding from other sources, penalties, further fees or liquidated damages in the agreement. 
 
Given our current liquidity position from cash on hand and our availability under our Credit Facility with CapitalSource, we have no immediate plans to issue common stock under the Stock Agreement. If and when we do elect to sell shares to Fusion under this agreement, we expect to do so opportunistically and only under conditions deemed favorable by the Company.  Any proceeds received by the Company from sales under the Stock Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes, working capital, and/or for expansion activities. 

Equipment Lease Line

On November 5, 2008, the Subsidiary entered into a master lease agreement with Leasing Technologies International, Inc. The master lease agreement establishes the general terms and conditions pursuant to which the Subsidiary may lease equipment pursuant to a $1,000,000 lease line. Advances under the lease line may be made for one year by executing equipment schedules for each advance. The lease term of any equipment schedules issued under the lease line will be for 36 months. The lease rate factor applicable for each equipment schedule is 0.0327/month. If the Subsidiary makes use of the entire lease line, the monthly rent would be $32,700. Monthly rent for the leased equipment is payable in advance on the first day of each month. The obligations of the Subsidiary are guaranteed by the Parent Company. At the end of the term of each equipment schedule the Subsidiary may:

(d)   Renew the lease with respect to such equipment for an additional 12 months at fair market value;
(e)   Purchase the equipment at fair market value, which price will not be less than 10% of cost nor more than 14% of cost;
(f)   Extend the term for an additional six months at 35% of the monthly rent paid by lessee during the initial term, equipment may then be purchased for the lesser of fair market value or 8% of cost; or
(b)   Return the equipment subject to a remarketing charge equal to 6% of cost.

First Amendment to Revolving Credit and Security Agreement

On November 3, 2008 the Company and CapitalSource signed a first amendment to the Credit Agreement.  This amendment increased the amount allowable under the Credit Agreement to pay towards the settlement of the US Labs lawsuit to $250,000 from $100,000 and documented other administrative agreements between NeoGenomics and CapitalSource.

ITEM 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide information under this item.

ITEM 4 – Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report due to the material weaknesses that were originally described more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 relating to (i) our failure to develop and maintain a company wide anti-fraud program over the initiating and processing of financial transactions, as well as other company wide procedures which may have an impact on internal controls over financial reporting, (ii) failure by senior management to maintain sufficient controls related to the establishing, maintaining, and assigning of user access security levels in the accounting and billing software packages used to initiate, process, record, and report financial transactions and financial statements and (iii) failure to maintain proper spreadsheet controls.  

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 4T – Controls and Procedures

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

US Labs Settlement

A civil lawsuit is currently pending between the Company and its liability insurer, FCCI Commercial Insurance Company ("FCCI") in the 20th Judicial Circuit Court in and for Lee County, Florida (Case No. 07-CA-017150). FCCI filed the suit on December 12, 2007 in response to the Company's demands for insurance benefits with respect to an underlying action involving US Labs (a settlement agreement has since been reached in the underlying action, and thus that case has now concluded). Specifically, the Company maintains that the underlying plaintiff's allegations triggered the subject insurance policy's personal and advertising injury coverage. In the lawsuit, FCCI seeks a court judgment that it owes no obligation to the Company regarding the underlying action (FCCI does not seek monetary damages). The Company has counterclaimed against FCCI for breach of the subject insurance policy, and seeks recovery of defense costs incurred in the underlying matter, amounts paid in settlement thereof, and fees and expenses incurred in litigating with FCCI. The court recently denied a motion by FCCI for judgment on the pleadings, and the parties are proceeding with discovery. We intend to aggressively pursue all remedies in this matter and believe that the courts will ultimately find that FCCI had a duty to provide coverage in the US Labs litigation.

EXECUTION COPY

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of November 5, 2008, by and between NEOGENOMICS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and FUSION CAPITAL FUND II, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “Buyer”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 10 hereof.
    
WHEREAS:

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company wishes to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to buy from the Company, up to Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The shares of Common Stock to be purchased hereunder are referred to herein as the "Purchase Shares."

NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

1.  PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer has the obligation to purchase from the Company, Purchase Shares as follows:

(a) Commencement of Purchases of Common Stock. The purchase and sale of Purchase Shares hereunder shall occur from time to time upon written notices by the Company to the Buyer on the terms and conditions as set forth herein following the satisfaction of the conditions (the “Commencement”) as set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below (the date of satisfaction of such conditions, the "Commencement Date").

(b) The Company’s Right to Require Purchases. Any time on or after the Commencement Date, the Company shall have the right but not the obligation to direct the Buyer by its delivery to the Buyer of Base Purchase Notices from time to time to buy Purchase Shares (each such purchase a “Base Purchase”) in any amount up to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per Base Purchase Notice (the “Base Purchase Amount”) at the Purchase Price on the Purchase Date. The Company may deliver multiple Base Purchase Notices to the Buyer so long as at least four (4) Business Days have passed since the most recent Base Purchase was completed. Notwithstanding the forgoing, any time on or after the Commencement Date, the Company shall also have the right but not the obligation by its delivery to the Buyer of Block Purchase Notices from time to time to direct the Buyer to buy Purchase Shares (each such purchase a “Block Purchase”) in any amount up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per Block Purchase Notice at the Block Purchase Price (as defined below) on the Purchase Date as provided herein. For a Block Purchase Notice to be valid the following conditions must be met: (1) the Block Purchase Amount shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per Block Purchase Notice, (2) the Company must deliver the Purchase Shares before 11:00 a.m. eastern time on the Purchase Date and (3) the Sale Price of the Common Stock must not be below $0.75 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction) during the Purchase Date, the date of the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice and during the Business Day prior to the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice. The Block Purchase Amount may be increased to up to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) per Block Purchase Notice if the Sale Price of the Common Stock is not below $1.20 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction) during the Purchase Date, the date of the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice and during the Business Day prior to the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice. The Block Purchase Amount may be increased to up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) per Block Purchase Notice if the Sale Price of the Common Stock is not below $2.40 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction) during the Purchase Date, the date of the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice and during the Business Day prior to the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice. The Block Purchase Amount may be increased to up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per Block Purchase Notice if the Sale Price of the Common Stock is not below $5.00 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction) during the Purchase Date, the date of the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice and during the Business Day prior to the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice. As used herein, the term “Block Purchase Price” shall mean the lesser of (i) the lowest Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date or (ii) the lowest Purchase Price during the previous seven (7) Business Days prior to the date that the valid Block Purchase Notice was received by the Buyer. However, if at any time during the Purchase Date, the date of the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice or during the Business Day prior to the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice, the Sale Price of the Common Stock is below the applicable Block Purchase threshold price, such Block Purchase shall be void and the Buyer’s obligations to buy Purchase Shares in respect of that Block Purchase Notice shall be terminated. Thereafter, the Company shall again have the right to submit a Block Purchase Notice as set forth herein by delivery of a new Block Purchase Notice only if the Sale Price of the Common Stock is above the applicable Block Purchase threshold price during the date of the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice and during the Business Day prior to the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice. The Company may deliver multiple Block Purchase Notices to the Buyer so long as at least two (2) Business Days have passed since the most recent Block Purchase was completed.

 

 

(c) Payment for Purchase Shares. The Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Amount with respect to such Purchase Shares as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds on the same Business Day that the Buyer receives such Purchase Shares if they are received by the Buyer before 11:00 a.m. eastern time or if received by the Buyer after 11:00 a.m. eastern time, the next Business Day. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any purchase. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share. All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement is due on any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.
 
(d) Purchase Price Floor. The Company and the Buyer shall not effect any sales under this Agreement on any Purchase Date where the Purchase Price for any purchases of Purchase Shares would be less than the Floor Price. “Floor Price” means $0.45, which shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction.

(e) Records of Purchases. The Buyer and the Company shall each maintain records showing the remaining Available Amount at any give time and the dates and Purchase Amounts for each purchase or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Company.

 
-2-

 

(f) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp or similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock to the Buyer made under this Agreement.

The Buyer is entering into this Agreement and acquiring the Commitment Shares (as defined in Section 4(e) hereof) and the Purchase Shares (the Purchase Shares and the Commitment Shares are collectively referred to herein as the "Securities"), for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof; provided however, by making the representations herein, the Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term other than as set forth in Section 4(e) with respect to the Commitment Shares.
 
(b) Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.

Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Buyer or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Buyer's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. The Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

(e) No Governmental Review.

(h) Residency. The Buyer is a resident of the State of Illinois.

(i) No Prior Short Selling.

Except as set forth in Sections 11(k)(i) (in respect of an Event of Default under Sections 9(f), 9(g) and 9(h)) and 11(k)(vi), any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(k) shall be effected by written notice from the Company to the Buyer, or the Buyer to the Company, as the case may be, setting forth the basis for the termination hereof. The representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyer contained in Sections 2, 3 and 5 hereof, the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof and the agreements and covenants set forth in Section 11, shall survive the Commencement and any termination of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the Company's or the Buyer's rights or obligations (i) under the Registration Rights Agreement which shall survive any such termination or (ii) under this Agreement with respect to pending purchases and the Company and the Buyer shall complete their respective obligations with respect to any pending purchases under this Agreement.

The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any fees or commissions, if any, of any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold the Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and out of pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim.

The Buyer’s remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available to the Buyer under this Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy of the Buyer contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit the Buyer's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(p) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF COMPANY COUNSEL OPINION

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein, have the meaning set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in the State of Florida.
 
2. The Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, each Transaction Document to which it is a party. The Company has the corporate power to conduct its business as, to the best of our knowledge, it is now conducted, and to own and use the properties owned and used by it.
 
3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance of the obligations of the Company thereunder and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated therein have been duly authorized and approved by the Company's Board of Directors and no further consent, approval or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders is required. The Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and are the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting creditor’s rights and remedies.
 
4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby including the offering, sale and issuance of the Commitment Shares, and the Purchase Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, and fulfillment and compliance with terms of the Transaction Documents, does not and shall not: (i) conflict with, constitute a breach of or default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, constitutes or could constitute a breach or a default), under (a) the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, (b) any material agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other material instrument to which to our knowledge the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its assets are bound, (ii) result in any violation of any statute, law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, or (iii) to our knowledge, violate any order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
 
5. The issuance of the Signing Shares pursuant to the terms of the that certain Confidential Term Sheet dated as of October 10, 2007 between the Company and the Buyer and the issuance of the Purchase Shares and Commitment Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized and the Signing Shares and Commitment Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first refusal and preemptive rights. [______] shares of Common Stock have been properly reserved for issuance under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. When issued and paid for in accordance with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first refusal and preemptive rights.  To our knowledge, the execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement do not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder shall not, give rise to any rights of any other person for the registration under the 1933 Act of any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which have not been waived.

 
 

 

6. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which to our knowledge [______] shares are issued and outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value, of which as of the date hereof [no] shares are issued and outstanding. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(c) of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, to our knowledge, there are no outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of the capital stock of the Company.
 
7. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and your compliance with the covenants made by you in the Transaction Documents, the offering, sale and issuance of the Commitment Shares to you pursuant to the Transaction Documents is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act and the securities laws and regulations of the States of Illinois, Florida and Nevada.
 
8. Other than that which has been obtained and completed prior to the date hereof, no authorization, approval, consent, filing or other order of any federal or state governmental body, regulatory agency, or stock exchange or market, or any court, or, to our knowledge, any third party is required to be obtained by the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or for the Company to issue and sell the Purchase Shares as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
 
9. To our knowledge, since October 1, 2007, the Company has not received any written notice from the Principal Market stating that the Company has not been in compliance with any of the rules and regulations (including the requirements for continued listing) of the Principal Market.
 
We further advise you that to our knowledge, except as disclosed on Schedule 3(h) in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or body, any governmental agency, any stock exchange or market, or self-regulatory organization, which has been threatened in writing or which is currently pending against the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any officers or directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of the properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

In addition, we have participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement (SEC File #________) covering the sale of the Purchase Shares, the Commitment Shares including the prospectus dated ____________, contained therein and in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company (including the Company’s independent auditors) during which the contents of the Registration Statement and related matters were discussed and reviewed and, although we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, on the basis of the information that was developed in the course of the performance of the services referred to above, considered in the light of our understanding of the applicable law, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and schedules and the other financial and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no belief), as of their dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2(b) including on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request).

f. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each Person, if any, who controls the Investor, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of the Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, "Claims") incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified Damages"), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation by the Company of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, "Violations"). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superceded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superceded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

6


b. In connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Investor set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor shall promptly reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

7


d. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

7. CONTRIBUTION.

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

8. REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.

With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, to:

a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

8


c. furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

d. take such additional action as is requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

The Company agrees that damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Section 8 and that Investor shall, whether or not it is pursuing any remedies at law, be entitled to equitable relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunctions, without having to post any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such terms or provisions.

9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor, including by merger or consolidation. The Investor may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the written consent of the Company, other than to an affiliate of the Investor controlled by Steven G. Martin or Joshua B. Scheinfeld.

10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Investor.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

a. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

b. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT

This Master Lease Agreement (the "Lease") is made the 5th day of November, 2008 between Leasing Technologies International, Inc., with its principal office at 221 Danbury Road, Wilton, CT 06897 (the "Lessor"), and NeoGenomics, Inc., a Florida Corporation, with its principal office at 12701 Commonwealth Drive, Suite 9, Fort Myers, FL 33913 (the "Lessee"). The parties hereto agree as follows:

1.
Lease:
 
This Lease establishes the general terms and conditions by which Lessor may lease to Lessee the Equipment (the "Equipment") listed on each Equipment Schedule executed periodically pursuant to this Lease. Each such Equipment Schedule shall incorporate by reference the terms of this Lease, and shall be a separate lease agreement as to the Equipment listed thereon for all purposes, including default. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Lease and the terms and conditions of any Equipment Schedule(s) or Rider(s) thereto, the terms and conditions of such Equipment Schedule(s) or Rider(s) shall prevail.

2.             Definitions:

(a) The "Installation Date" means the date determined in accordance with the applicable Equipment Schedule.

(b) Intentionally omitted.

(c) The "Daily Rental" means 1/30th of the amount set forth as the monthly rental in the applicable Equipment Schedule.

3.
Term of Lease:

The term of this Lease, as to all Equipment designated on any Equipment Schedule, shall commence on the Installation Date for such Equipment, and shall continue for an initial period ending that number of months as is specified on the applicable Equipment Schedule from the Installation Date for the last item of Equipment to be installed (the "Initial Term"). The term of this Lease for all such Equipment shall be automatically extended for successive monthly periods until terminated in accordance with this Lease. Any termination shall be effective only on the last day of the Initial Term or the last day of any such successive period.

4.
Rental:

The monthly rental payable hereunder is as set forth in the Equipment Schedule(s). Rental shall begin to accrue on the Installation Date for each item of Equipment and shall be due and payable by Lessee in advance on the first day of each month. Lessor or its Assignees shall, at its option, have the right to automatically transfer funds from Lessee’s bank account to pay the Monthly Rental and any other amounts due hereunder on the date such amounts become due. Lessee shall, at Lessor’s request, execute such document as Lessor, or Lessee’s bank, may reasonably request in order to implement such transfer. In addition to the monthly rental set forth in the Equipment Schedule(s), Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to all taxes paid, payable or required to be collected by Lessor, however designated, which are levied or based on the rental, on the Lease or on the Equipment or on its purchase for lease hereunder, or on its use, lease, operation, control or value (including, without limitation, state and local privilege or excise taxes based on gross revenue), any penalties or interest in connection therewith which are attributable to Lessee's negligence or taxes or amounts in lieu thereof paid or payable by Lessor in respect of the foregoing, but excluding taxes based on Lessor's net income. Personal property taxes assessed on the Equipment during the term hereof shall be paid by Lessee. Lessee agrees that Lessor, or Lessor's agent may file all required property tax returns and reports and pay all taxes thereon pertaining to the Equipment. In such event, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor or Lessor’s agent for all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. If requested by Lessor, Lessee agrees to file, on behalf of Lessor, all required property tax returns and reports concerning the Equipment with all appropriate governmental agencies, and, within not more than thirty (30) days after the due date of such filing to send Lessor confirmation of such filing.
 
Interest on any past due payments, including but not limited to administrative charges and any other charges or fees arising out of or related to this Lease, shall accrue at the rate of 1 1/2% per month, or if such rate shall exceed the maximum rate allowed by law, then at such maximum rate, and shall be payable on demand. Charges for taxes, penalties and interest shall be promptly paid by Lessee when invoiced by Lessor.

 
 

 

5.
Installation, Use and Quiet Possession of Equipment:

(a) Lessee, at its own expense, will provide the required suitable electric current to operate the Equipment and appropriate installation facilities as specified by the manufacturer.

(b) Any equipment, cards, disks, tapes or other items not specified in the Equipment Schedule(s) which are used on or in connection with the Equipment must meet the specifications of the manufacturer and shall be acquired by Lessee at its own expense.

(c) Lessee shall use the Equipment solely in connection with Lessee's business and for no other purpose. Subject to the preceding sentence, Lessee shall be entitled to unlimited usage of the Equipment without extra charge by Lessor.

(d) Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Equipment Schedule, Lessee will at all times keep the Equipment in its sole possession and control. The Equipment shall not be moved from the location stated in the applicable Equipment Schedule without the prior written consent of Lessor.

The manufacturer or other organization selected by Lessee and approved in writing by Lessor to maintain the Equipment ("Maintenance Organization") may incorporate engineering changes or make temporary alterations to the Equipment upon request of Lessee. All such alterations and attachments shall be and become the property of Lessor or, at the option of Lessee, shall be removed by Lessee and the Equipment restored, at Lessee's expense, to its original condition as of the Installation Date thereof, reasonable wear and tear only excepted, and upon the removal and restoration, the alteration and/or attachment which was made by Lessee shall become the property of Lessee.

(f) So long as Lessee is not in default hereunder, neither Lessor nor any party claiming through or under Lessor shall interfere with Lessee's use or possession of any Equipment during the term of this Lease.

(g) Lessee shall, during the term of this Lease, at its expense, keep the Equipment in good working order and condition and make all necessary adjustments, repairs and replacements and shall not use or permit the Equipment to be used in any manner or for any purpose for which, in the opinion of the manufacturer, the Equipment is not designed or reasonably suitable.

(h) If mutually agreed to by Lessor and Lessee and specified in the applicable Equipment Schedule, Lessee shall, during the term of such Equipment Schedule, at its own expense, enter into and maintain in force a contract with the manufacturer or the Maintenance Organization covering at least prime shift maintenance of each item of Equipment. Such contract shall commence upon expiration of the manufacturer's warranty period, if any, relating to such item. If applicable, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with a copy of such contract(s).

(i) At the termination of the applicable Equipment Schedule, Lessee at its expense shall return, if permitted by the applicable Equipment Schedule, not less than all the Equipment subject thereto to Lessor (at the location designated by Lessor within the Continental United States) in the same operating order, repair, condition and appearance as on the Installation Date, reasonable wear and tear only excepted, with all engineering and safety changes prescribed by the manufacturer or Maintenance Organization incorporated therein. Lessee shall, prior to such termination, arrange and pay for any repairs, changes and manufacturer's certifications as are necessary to restore such equipment to reasonable working order. Lessee shall return all accessories supplied with the Equipment, including but not limited to all manuals, cables and software diskettes. Lessee shall promptly pay, after receipt of an invoice therefore, all costs and expenses pertaining to the replacement of any missing items and for the repair of any Equipment, together with any audit, inspection or certification charges reasonably incurred by Lessor.

6.
Leasehold Rights and Inspection:

(a) Lessee shall have no interest in the Equipment other than the rights acquired as a lessee hereunder and the Equipment shall remain personalty regardless of the manner in which it may be installed or attached. Lessee shall, at Lessor's request, affix to the Equipment, tags, decals or plates furnished by Lessor, indicating Lessor's ownership and Lessee shall not permit their removal or concealment. Lessee shall replace any such tag, decal or plate, which may be removed or destroyed or become illegible. Lessee shall keep all Equipment free from any marking or labeling which might be interpreted as a claim of ownership thereof by Lessee or any party other than Lessor or anyone claiming through Lessor.

(b) Lessee shall keep the Equipment free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except liens or encumbrances arising through the actions or omissions of Lessor. LESSEE SHALL NOT ASSIGN OR OTHERWISE ENCUMBER THIS LEASE OR ANY OF ITS RIGHTS HEREUNDER OR SUBLEASE THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR.

 
 

 

(c) Lessor or its agents shall have free access to the Equipment at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspection and for any other purpose contemplated by this Lease upon five (5) business days written notice, except that only two (2) days notice shall be required if Lessee is in default of its obligations under this Lease.

(d) Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of all details concerning any damage to, or loss of, the Equipment arising out of any event or occurrence whatsoever, including but not limited to, the alleged or apparent improper manufacture, functioning or operation of the Equipment.

7.
No Warranties By Lessor:
 
Lessee represents that, at the Installation Date thereof, it shall have (a) thoroughly inspected the Equipment; (b) determined for itself that all items of Equipment are of a size, design, capacity and manufacture selected by it; and (c) satisfied itself that the Equipment is suitable for Lessee's purposes. LESSOR SUPPLIES THE EQUIPMENT AS IS AND NOT BEING THE MANUFACTURER OF THE EQUIPMENT, THE MANUFACTURER'S AGENT OR THE SELLER'S AGENT, MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AS TO THE EQUIPMENT'S MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESIGN, CONDITION, QUALITY, CAPACITY, MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP OR AS TO PATENT INFRINGEMENT OR THE LIKE, it being agreed that all such risks, as between Lessor and Lessee, are to be borne by Lessee. Lessee agrees to look solely to the manufacturer or to suppliers of the Equipment for any and all warranty claims and any and all warranties made by the manufacturer or the supplier of Lessor are, to the extent to which the same may be assignable, hereby assigned to Lessee for the term of the applicable Equipment Schedule. Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be responsible for the delivery, installation, maintenance, operation or service of the Equipment or for delay or inadequacy of any or all of the foregoing. Lessor shall not be responsible for any direct or consequential loss or damage resulting from the installation, operation or use of the Equipment or otherwise. Lessee will defend, indemnify and hold Lessor harmless against any and all claims, demands and liabilities arising out of or in connection with the design, manufacture, possession or operation of the Equipment. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee waives any and all rights and remedies conferred upon a Lessee by Article 2A of the UCC and any rights now or hereinafter conferred by statute or otherwise that may limit or modify Lessor’s rights as described in this Section or other provisions of this Lease Agreement.

8.
Risk of Loss on Lessee:

(a) Beginning on the Installation Date thereof and continuing until the Equipment is either returned to Lessor or purchased by Lessee as provided in this Lease, Lessee relieves Lessor of responsibility for all risks of physical damage to or loss or destruction of the Equipment, howsoever caused. During the term of this Lease as to any Equipment Schedule, Lessee shall, at its own expense, keep in effect "all risk" property insurance and public liability insurance policies covering the Equipment designated in each Equipment Schedule. The public liability insurance policy shall be in such amount as is reasonably acceptable to Lessor. The "all risk" property insurance policy shall be for an amount not less than the replacement cost of the Equipment. Lessor, its successors and assigns and/or such other party as may be designated by any thereof to Lessee, in writing, shall be named as additional insureds and loss payees on such policies, which shall be written by an insurance company of recognized responsibility which is reasonably acceptable to Lessor. Evidence of such insurance coverage shall be furnished to Lessor no later than the Installation Date set forth in the Equipment Schedule(s) and, from time to time, thereafter as Lessor may request. Such policies shall provide that no less than ten days written notice shall be given Lessor and any other party named as loss payee prior to cancellation of such policies for any reason. To the extent of Lessor's interest therein, Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints Lessor or any other party named as loss payee as Lessee's attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest to make claim for, receive payment of, and execute any and all documents that may be required to be provided to the insurance carrier in substantiation of any such claim for loss or damage under said insurance policies, and to endorse Lessee's name to any and all drafts or checks in payment of the loss proceeds.

(b) If any item of Equipment is rendered unusable as a result of any physical damage to, or destruction of, the Equipment, Lessee shall give to Lessor immediate notice thereof and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without any abatement of rental. Lessee shall determine, within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such damage or destruction, whether such item of Equipment can be repaired. In the event Lessee determines that the item of Equipment cannot be repaired, Lessee shall either, at its expense, promptly replace such item of Equipment and convey title to such replacement to Lessor free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as though such damage or destruction had not occurred, or pay Lessor therefor in cash the Stipulated Loss Value (defined below) within forty-five (45) days of such loss or damage. "Stipulated Loss Value," as used herein, shall be an amount as shown on Exhibit A to the applicable Equipment Schedule. In the event Lessee determines that such item of Equipment can be repaired, Lessee shall cause such item of Equipment to be promptly repaired. All proceeds of insurance received by Lessor, the designated loss payee, or Lessee under the policy referred to in the preceding paragraph of this Section shall be applied toward the cost of any such repair or replacement.

 
 

 

9.
Events of Default and Remedies:

The occurrence of any one of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder:

(a) Lessee fails to pay an installment of rent on or before the date when the same becomes due and payable and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days;

(b) Lessee attempts to remove, sell, transfer, encumber, sublet or part with possession of the Equipment or any items thereof, except as expressly permitted herein;

(c) Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any of the other obligations required to be observed or performed by Lessee hereunder and such failure shall continue uncured for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Lessee by Lessor or the then assignee hereof;
 
(d) Lessee ceases doing business as a going concern, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, files a voluntary petition of bankruptcy, is adjudicated a bankrupt or an insolvent, files a petition seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar arrangement under any present or future statute, law or regulation or files an answer admitting the material allegations of the petition filed against it in any such proceeding, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or liquidator of it or of all or any substantial part of its assets or properties, or if it or its shareholders shall take any action looking to its dissolution or liquidation;

(e) Within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any proceedings against Lessee seeking reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceedings shall not have been dismissed, or if within thirty (30) days after the appointment without Lessee's consent or acquiescence of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of it or of all or any substantial part of its assets and properties, such appointment shall not be vacated;

(f) Lessee defaults in the payment of any monetary obligation in excess of $25,000 with respect to a loan agreement or other indebtedness involving a total outstanding obligation in excess of $1,000,000 at the time of such default, and such default is not waived within fifteen days of the occurrence thereof, or within fifteen days after the application of any applicable grace or cure period, whichever is longer;

(g) Intentionally deleted.
 
(h) Lessee sells all or substantially all of its assets or consolidates with or merges into any other entity.
 
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessor may at its option do any one or more of the following: (i) by notice to Lessee terminate this Lease as to any or all Equipment Schedules; (ii) whether or not this Lease is terminated as to any or all Equipment Schedules, take possession on not less than five (5) days' written notice of any or all of the Equipment listed on any or all Equipment Schedules, wherever situated, and for such purpose, enter upon any premises without liability for so doing or Lessor may cause Lessee and Lessee hereby agrees, to return said Equipment to Lessor as provided in this Lease; (iii) recover from Lessee, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, all past due amounts as well as an amount equal to the present value of all monies to be paid by Lessee during the remaining Initial Term or any successive period then in effect, calculated by discounting at the rate of nine percent (10%) per annum compounded monthly, which payment shall become immediately due and payable; and (iv) sell, dispose of, hold, use or lease any Equipment as Lessor in its sole discretion may determine (and Lessor shall not be obligated to give preference to the sale, lease or other disposition of the Equipment over the sale, lease or other disposition of similar equipment owned or leased by Lessor).

In the event that Lessee shall have first paid to Lessor or its assigns the liquidated damages referred to in (iii) above, Lessee shall (except if Lessee has defaulted under Section 9 (e) or 9 (f) in which case Lessee’s rights shall be determined by applicable bankruptcy law) be entitled to purchase, for a period of thirty (30) days after any such payment is made, all of the equipment to which the liquidated damages payment applies at the fair market value of the equipment; provided, however, that such fair market value shall not exceed any limitation specified in the relevant Equipment Schedule. In the event that Lessee elects not to purchase any of the equipment to which the liquidated damages payment applies, Lessee shall thereafter be entitled to receive all rentals or proceeds received from any reletting or sale of the Equipment during the balance of the Initial Term (after deduction of Lessor's expected residual value of the Equipment at the expiration of the Initial Term or any extension thereof, which shall not be in excess of the limitations on the calculation of fair market value in any such Equipment Schedule covering the equipment in question, and of all expenses incurred in connection therewith) said amount never to exceed the amount of the liquidated damages paid by Lessee. Lessee agrees that Lessor shall have no obligation to sell the Equipment. Lessee shall in any event remain fully liable for reasonable damages as provided by law and for all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor or its assigns on account of such default including but not limited to all court costs and reasonable attorney's fees. Lessee hereby agrees that, in any event, it will be liable for any deficiency after any lease or other disposition of the Equipment. The rights afforded Lessor hereunder shall not be deemed to be exclusive, but shall be in addition to any rights or remedies provided by law.

 
 

 

10.
Net Lease:

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, it is understood and agreed that this is a net lease, and that, as between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of every nature whatsoever arising out of or in connection with or related to this Lease or the Equipment (including, but not limited to, equipment inspection, tagging, transportation in and out, rigging, manufacturer's approved packing, installation, certification costs and disconnect charges). Lessee hereby agrees that in the event that Lessee fails to pay or perform any obligation under this Lease, Lessor may, at its option, pay or perform said obligation and any payment made or expense incurred by Lessor in connection therewith shall become additional rent, which shall be due and payable by Lessee upon demand. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor may, from time to time, and at Lessee's request, execute and deliver purchase orders pertaining to the purchase of equipment to be leased pursuant to this Lease. Lessee agrees that it will indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, liability and expense that Lessor may incur as a result of the execution and delivery of such purchase orders.

11.
Assignment:

Lessee agrees that Lessor may transfer or assign all or any part of Lessor's right, title, and interest in, under or to the Equipment and this Lease and any or all sums due or to become due pursuant to any of the above, to any third party (the "Assignee") for any reason and that the Assignee may so re-assign and transfer. In the event of any such assignment of this Lease, Lessor agrees to promptly notify Lessee in writing of such assignment and provide appropriate contact information of such assignee within ten (10) days of the date of any such assignment. Lessee agrees that upon receipt of written notice from Lessor or Assignee of such assignment, Lessee shall perform all of its obligations hereunder for the benefit of Assignee and any successor assignee and, if so directed, shall pay all sums due or to become due thereunder directly to the Assignee or to any other party designated by the Assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor and any assignee hereunder acknowledge and agree that any failure by Lessor or any assignees under this Lease to promptly notify Lessee of any further assignments hereunder which have the result of delays in any payments or other obligations under this Lease shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default nor will any late fees be imposed until after any applicable cure periods have run from the date Lessee receives written notification of such assignment. Lessee hereby covenants, represents and warrants as follows and agrees that the Assignee and any successor assignee shall be entitled to rely on and shall be considered a third party beneficiary of the following covenants, representations and warranties: (i) Lessee's obligations hereunder are absolute and unconditional and are not subject to any abatement, reduction, recoupment, defense, offset or counterclaim available to Lessee for any reason whatsoever including operation of law, defect in the Equipment, failure of Lessor or Assignee to perform any of its obligations hereunder or for any other cause or reason whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing; (ii) Lessee shall not look to Assignee or any successor assignee to perform any of Lessor's obligations hereunder; (iii) Lessee will not amend or modify this Lease without the prior written consent of the Assignee and any successor assignee; and (iv) Lessee will send a copy to Assignee and any successor assignee of each notice which Lessee sends to Lessor.

12.
Representations and Warranties of Lessee and Lessor:

Lessee represents and warrants to Lessor and its assigns, as follows:

1. The execution, delivery and performance of this Lease has been duly authorized and, upon execution by Lessor and Lessee, will constitute a valid obligation binding upon and enforceable against Lessee in accordance with its terms, subject to laws governing creditors' rights;

2. The performance by Lessee will not result in any breach, default or violation of, Lessee's certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any agreement to which Lessee is a party;

3. Lessee is in good standing in its jurisdiction of incorporation and in any jurisdiction in which any of the Equipment is to be located; and

4. Any and all financial statements or other information with respect to Lessee heretofore furnished by Lessee to Lessor was, when furnished, and remains at the time of execution of this Lease, true and complete.

 
 

 

Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee as follows:

1. The execution, delivery and performance of this Lease has been duly authorized and, upon execution by Lessor and Lessee, will constitute a valid obligation binding upon and enforceable against Lessor in accordance with its terms, subject to laws governing creditors' rights; and

2. The performance by Lessor will not result in any breach, default or violation of, Lessor's certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any agreement to which Lessor is a party;

The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

13.
End of Lease: 

For each Equipment Schedule, Lessor agrees that it will provide written notice to Lessee at least one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the end of such Equipment Schedule which notifies Lessee of the upcoming end of such Equipment Schedule and requests that Lessee select one of the end of lease options in accordance with the alternatives set forth on such Equipment Schedule. Provided (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) Lessee has made all payments in accordance with the Lease, upon written notice furnished by Lessee to Lessor no later than thirty (30) days after Lessor has provided written notice of the upcoming contractual end of an Equipment Schedule, Lessee shall, with respect to each Equipment Schedule elect only such alternatives as may be set forth on the Equipment Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee for any reason fails to notify the Lessor of its end of lease selection for any given Equipment Schedule (including as a result of Lessor’s failure to provide written notice as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 13), then the parties agree that Lessee shall have been automatically deemed to have selected end of lease option (c) with respect to such Equipment Schedule to extend the Initial Term for an additional six months at a Monthly Rental equal to 35% of the Monthly Rental paid by Lessee during the Initial Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Lessor fails to provide written notice as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 13 and the end of lease election automatically defaults to option (c), then the Lessee shall have the option select another end of lease alternative if it so chooses for a period of thirty (30) days from the date on which Lessee is first notified by Lessor that the Monthly Rental has been reset to a rate of 35% of the Monthly Rental paid by Lessee during the Initial Term.

To the extent that any of such alternatives involves a determination of Fair Market Value, the Fair Market Value shall be defined and determined by the provisions of this Section. For purposes hereof, Fair Market Value shall mean the amount that would obtain in a retail arm's length transaction between an informed and willing lessee-buyer in possession and an informed and willing lessor-seller. Rental charges previously paid pursuant to the applicable Equipment Schedule shall have no effect on the determination of Fair Market Value. Unless otherwise stated in the Equipment Schedule: the Fair Market Value for items set forth on the Equipment Schedule which do not have a readily ascertainable market value, (including but not limited to software, cabling and certain equipment) shall be determined by multiplying the Lessor's acquisition cost of such items by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value of the other items and the denominator of which shall be the Lessor's acquisition cost of such other items; and the determination of Fair Market Value shall be based upon the assumption that all items set forth on the Equipment Schedule or included with the Equipment may be transferred to, and used by, a third party user. In such determination, all alternative uses in the hands of each buyer or lessee, including, without limitation, the further leasing of the Equipment shall be taken into account in making such determination.

If, on or before a date which is sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon a determination of the Fair Market Value of the Equipment, the Fair Market Value (to be determined in accordance with the definition set forth in this Section) shall, upon written request by Lessee therefor, be conclusively established not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term by an independent appraiser selected by Lessor. Lessor shall notify Lessee of the name and address of said appraiser. The costs of such appraiser shall be paid by Lessee within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice therefor. The Lease, including the obligation to pay monthly rentals, shall remain in effect pending the determination of Fair Market Value; provided, however, beginning on the day after the expiration of the Initial Term of any given Equipment Schedule, the monthly rental for such Equipment Schedule will be reduced to 35% of the Monthly Rental amount paid by Lessee during the Initial Term pursuant to the automatic election of the Lessor described in the first paragraph of this Section 13.

14.
Miscellaneous:

(a) During the term of this Lease, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to Lessor or Assignee and any successor assignee a copy of Lessee's quarterly unaudited financial statements, and the annual financial budget for the upcoming year as soon as available and as it may be adjusted during the year. Lessee shall also furnish, as soon as available and in any event within one hundred five (105) days after the last day of Lessee's fiscal year, a copy of Lessee's annual audited statements and consolidating and consolidated balance sheet, if any, as of the end of such fiscal year, accompanied by the opinion of an independent certified public accounting firm of recognized standing. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Lessor agrees that if such quarterly or annual financial information is available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov as part of the Edgar database, then such access shall be deemed to be compliance with the requirements of this paragraph. The Lessee shall furnish such other financial information as may be reasonably requested by Lessor, including but not limited to any material changes in budgets or financial reports furnished to the Lessee's Board of Directors or Shareholders.

 
 

 

(b) This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between Lessee and Lessor with respect to the Equipment, and except as agreed upon in writing no covenant, condition or other term or provision hereof may be waived or modified orally.

(c) All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission (confirmed by registered mail as set forth in this section) to the address of the other party as set forth herein or to such other address as such party shall have designated by proper notice. Lessee shall notify Lessor of any change of address upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice.

(d) This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lessor and Lessee and their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent assignee of Assignee).

(e) If any term or provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person is, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provision to the person other than those to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(f) No waiver of any of the terms and conditions hereof shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. Any waiver of the terms hereof shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. The subsequent acceptance of rental payments hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed a waiver of any prior existing breach by Lessee regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such prior existing breach at the time of acceptance of such rental payments. Where permitted by law, Lessee authorizes any attorney of record, Clerk of Court or Prothonotary of any state to appear for and confess judgment (a) against Lessee for all amounts as to which Lessee is in default under this Agreement and (b) against Lessee in any action for writ of replevin or possession of the Equipment. No bond shall be required.

(g) Lessor is hereby authorized by Lessee to cause this Lease or other instruments, including Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements to be filed or recorded for the purpose of showing Lessor's interest in the Equipment and Lessee agrees that Lessor may execute such instruments for and on behalf of Lessee. All filing fees reasonably incurred by Lessor in connection therewith and filing fees incurred by Lessor's assignees in perfecting security interests shall be paid by Lessee or reimbursed to Lessor by Lessee.

(h) No consent or approval provided for herein shall be binding upon Lessor unless signed on its behalf by an officer of Lessor. THIS LEASE AND EACH EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE. The Lessee accepts for itself the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Connecticut in any action, suit or proceeding of any kind against it which arises out of or by reason of this Lease or any Equipment Schedule.

(i) Lessee acknowledges that the late payment by Lessee to Lessor of monthly rental and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor harm and to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the precise amount and severity of which will be difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, administrative, accounting and legal charges which Lessor may incur due to such late payment. Accordingly, if any monthly rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's assignee within thirty (30) days after the same is due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor or Lessor's assignee a late charge equal to five per cent (5%) of such overdue amount monthly until such overdue amount is paid. Lessee acknowledges that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Lessor will incur by reason of a late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default, if any, with respect to such overdue amounts, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies which Lessor may have pursuant to this Lease.

(j) The obligations which Lessee is required to perform during the term of this Lease shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.

(k) Lessee will promptly execute and deliver to Lessor such further documents and assurances and take such further action as Lessor may reasonably request in order to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Lease and to establish and protect the rights, interests and remedies intended to be created in favor of Lessor hereunder, including without limitation, the execution and filing of financing statements and continuation statements with respect to this Lease, the Equipment and any Equipment Schedule. Lessee authorizes Lessor to effect any such filing and Lessor's reasonable expenses (together with the reasonable expenses of Lessor's assignees in this regard) shall be payable by Lessee on demand.

5. Failure to Cure. In the event the Guarantor fails to cure a default within the ten (10) day period, then Lessor may, at its option, proceed directly against Guarantor for the  payment, performance or observance of any and all of Lessee's obligations under the Lease. Guarantor hereby waives any right to require Lessor: (i) to proceed against the Lessee; (ii) to proceed against or exhaust any security it may hold; or (iii) to pursue any other remedy available to it.

6. Waiver. No delay on the part of Lessor in exercising any rights under this Agreement or failure to exercise the same shall operate as a waiver of such rights. No modification or waiver of the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and no such waiver shall be applicable and effective except in the specific instance for which it was given.
 


7. Partial Invalidity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not operate to render any other provision or provisions herein contained unenforceable or invalid.
