The Borrower and the Bank, with the intent to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. Loan and Hedge Obligations. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement, the Bank has made or may make one or more loans as hereinafter described to the Borrower and in connection therewith has or may from time to time enter into one or more interest rate swap transactions in connection therewith. The parties agree as follows:
1.1. Equipment Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Bank hereby establishes for the benefit of the Borrower a non-revolving line of credit facility (the “Equipment Loan”) in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000.00 (the “Permitted Loan Limit”) upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) The Bank agrees from time to time during the period (the “Advance Period”) from the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the date when the Bank has made Advances (as hereinafter defined) which, in the aggregate, equal the Permitted Loan Limit, (ii) the date when the Bank receives written notice from the Borrower (which note shall be irrevocable) informing the Bank that the Borrower does not intend to request further advances hereunder and acknowledging that the Bank shall have no obligation to make further Advances hereunder, or (iii) October 31, 2012, or such later date as may be designated by the Bank by written notice to the Borrower (the “Conversion Date”) to lend to the Borrower under the Equipment Loan upon the request of the Borrower up to the Permitted Loan Limit subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Note (as hereinafter defined). During the Advance Period, the Borrower shall be entitled to receive up to the Permitted Loan Limit in one or more advances (each, an “Advance” and collectively, the “Advances”), except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement. In no event may the aggregate principal amount advanced under the Equipment Loan exceed the Permitted Loan Limit. Advances under the Equipment Loan shall be used solely to finance the acquisition of equipment and machinery (“Equipment”), shall be evidenced by a Non-Revolving Equipment Line of Credit Note in the face amount of $1,000,000.00 executed or to be executed by the Borrower in favor of the Bank (as the same may be amended, modified, renewed, extended or replaced from time to time, the “Note”) acceptable to the Bank, shall bear interest at the rate or rates set forth in the Note and shall be payable as set forth in the Note. After the Expiration Date, the Borrower shall not be entitled to receive any further Advances.
(b) Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), the Borrower shall be entitled to obtain Advances during the Advance Period under the Equipment Loan by giving written notice to the Bank (which notice can be made by electronic mail and facsimile transmission, immediately confirmed by sending the original notice to the Bank so that the same is received by the Bank no later than three (3) Business Days (as defined in the Note) after the date of the electronic mail or facsimile transmission), which request shall be in the form attached hereto, or such other form as may be acceptable to the Bank, and shall specify: (i) the amount of the requested Advance, (ii) the date on which the Advance is requested (which must be a Business Day) and (iii) a complete, adequate description of the Equipment being acquired, and shall be accompanied by all pertinent information relating to the Equipment, including the purchase price and a copy of the invoice or purchase order, together with all other relevant information relating to such Equipment as the Bank may request. The amount of each Advance may not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the purchase price of the Equipment being purchased.

(c) On the Conversion Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Advances under the Equipment Loan will be converted to a term loan, upon the terms set forth in the Note. The amortization schedule of the term loan shall be determined by the Bank on the Conversion Date based on the nature and type of Equipment financed and, if necessary, the Note shall be modified accordingly. On the Conversion Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank a commitment fee in the amount of fifty (50) basis points (0.50%) of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Note on the Conversion Date which is being converted to the term loan.
1.2. Hedge Obligations. The Borrower may, from time to time, enter into one or more interest or currency swaps, futures, options or other interest rate protection or similar agreements with respect to all or any portion of the Equipment Loan, each of which is a “Transaction” pursuant to and defined in one or more ISDA Master Agreements (whether one or more, the “Master Agreement”) (the obligations of the Borrower under the Master Agreement, as supplemented by one or more Transactions from time to time, whether simultaneously herewith or after the date hereof, under the Master Agreement, being herein called the “Hedge Obligations”).
2. Security. The security for repayment of the Equipment Loan and all Hedge Obligations in connection therewith shall include but not be limited to the collateral, guaranties and other documents heretofore, contemporaneously or hereafter executed and delivered to the Bank, including, without limitation, the Security Agreement executed or to be executed by the Borrower in favor of the Bank (the “Security Agreement” and collectively with all other security documents executed in connection herewith, the “Security Documents”), which shall secure repayment of the Loans, the Notes and all other loans, advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Bank or to any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., of any kind or nature, present or future (including any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assignment or participation), absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, whether or not (i) evidenced by any note, guaranty or other instrument, (ii) arising under any agreement, instrument or document, (iii) for the payment of money, (iv) arising by reason of an extension of credit, opening of a letter of credit, loan, equipment lease or guarantee, (v) under any interest or currency swap, future, option or other interest rate protection or similar agreement, (vi) under or by reason of any foreign currency transaction, forward, option or other similar transaction providing for the purchase of one currency in exchange for the sale of another currency, or in any other manner, or (vii) arising out of overdrafts on deposit or other accounts or out of electronic funds transfers (whether by wire transfer or through automated clearing houses or otherwise) or out of the return unpaid of, or other failure of the Bank to receive final payment for, any check, item, instrument, payment order or other deposit or credit to a deposit or other account, or out of the Bank’s non-receipt of or inability to collect funds or otherwise not being made whole in connection with depository or other similar arrangements; and any amendments, extensions, renewals and increases of or to any of the foregoing, and all costs and expenses of the Bank incurred in the documentation, negotiation, modification, enforcement, collection and otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Obligations”). Unless expressly provided to the contrary in documentation for any other loan or loans, it is the express intent of the Bank and the Borrower that all Obligations including those included in the Equipment Loan be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted, such that collateral securing any of the Obligations shall secure repayment of all Obligations and a default under any Obligation shall be a default under all Obligations.
This Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents and all other agreements and documents executed and/or delivered pursuant hereto, as each may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time, are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.” Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Documents.

3.7 Litigation. Describe pending and threatened litigation, investigations, proceedings, etc. below:
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has conducted a review of trading activity in the Company common stock surrounding the November 4, 2010 news announcement that the Company applied for 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market its J-Plasma hand piece for additional uses and the November 9, 2010 news announcement that the Company filed additional patents for its J-Plasma hand piece and earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. In furtherance of this review, FINRA requested certain information from the Company, which the Company responded to. Notice was recently received that the inquiry is completed.
On July 9, 2010, Bovie filed a complaint in the United States District for the Middle District of Florida (Tampa division) naming Steven Livneh, who at the time was a director of the Company, and two of his related entities as defendants. In its complaint, the Company are seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment from the Court concerning its rights under certain agreements entered into with the defendants in 2006 in connection with the acquisition of certain assets and technology, including intellectual property relating to the Company’s Seal-N-Cut™ product. The Company is also seeking damages for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty by Mr. Livneh relating to his service as an officer and director of the Company, tortious interference with contractual relations, defamation, slander of title and injunctive relief. Mr. Livneh filed a motion seeking to (a) dismiss the complaint or, in the alternative, to (b) transfer venue. On December 20, 2010 the court issued an order dismissing without prejudice five of our fifteen claims, due to New York being defined in the forum selection clauses in two of the underlying contracts with Mr. Livneh. The Company re-filed these five claims in federal court in New York. Mr. Livneh’s motion to dismiss the remaining claims in Florida was denied and the venue was not transferred.

On January 10, 2011 defendant Livneh filed a counter-complaint/third party complaint against the Company, its CEO, and COO, alleging fraud, fraud in the inducement, fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent misrepresentation, innocent misrepresentation, breach of contract, tortuous interference, shareholder derivative, defamation, breach of good faith and fair dealing, violation of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, and violation of the Florida Whistleblower’s Act, and seeking rescission and a declaratory judgment. In addition to the foregoing relief, defendant also seeks reinstatement of Mr. Livneh to the Company’s board of directors, issuance of certain shares of unrestricted stock, compensatory, actual and/or special damages, punitive and/or exemplary damages, and attorney’s fees and costs. Discovery in the matter is proceeding and a mediation has been scheduled for November 2011.
On September 19, 2011, Bovie Medical Corporation (the “Company”) was served in a purported stockholder derivative action that was filed in the United State District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company and certain of its present and former officers and directors. The complaint asserts, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties and bad faith in relation to the management of the Company. The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and various forms of equitable relief. The Company is reviewing the allegations in the complaint but believes them to be frivolous and without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously.
An action was commenced by Darla Thompson in the 14th Judicial District, Parish of Calcasieu, State of Louisiana alleging product liability and seeking unspecified damages arising out of the use of a Bovie generator. The Company’s insurance carrier is defending the claim subject to a $25,000 deductible. The Company does not believe any award or settlement in this matter will be material.
