Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 17, 2026, Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4 with Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Streeterville”), under that certain securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated August 21, 2025, between the Company and Streeterville. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell shares of its common stock to Streeterville in one or more pre-paid purchases (each, a “Pre-Paid Purchase” and collectively, the “Pre-Paid Purchases”) for an aggregate purchase price of up to $20,000,000. Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4 provides for a fourth Pre-Paid Purchase in the principal amount of $10,355,000, before deducting an original issue discount of $855,000 (the “Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase”). The Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase accrues interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum and has a maturity date of three years.
The Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase is similar to the third Pre-Paid Purchase that the Company completed on December 19, 2025, however the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase is secured by cash in an amount not less than the lesser of: (i) $3,500,000, and (ii) 90% of the then-current outstanding balance of the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase (the “Minimum Balance Amount”). The Minimum Balance Amount is being held in a deposit account (the “DACA Account”) held by RIME Holdings, LLC, a Utah limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that the Company formed in connection with the second Pre-Paid Purchase that the Company completed on November 13, 2025 (“RIME Holdings”), pursuant to a Deposit Account Control Agreement, dated November 13, 2025, by and among RIME Holdings, Lakeside Bank, an Illinois banking company, and Streeterville (the “DACA Agreement”). Accordingly, of the $9,500,000 in proceeds that the Company received from the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase, $3,500,000 were placed in the DACA Account.
The Company has the right to use funds in the DACA Account to repay any portion of the outstanding balance of the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase, but only so long as the payment does not cause the outstanding balance to drop below the Minimum Balance Amount. As long as no event of default has occurred, the Company may withdraw from the Deposit Account any funds in excess of the Minimum Balance Amount. The Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase is secured by the Security Agreement and the IP Security Agreement (each as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). In addition, RIME Holdings executed a guaranty of the obligations outstanding under the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase for the benefit of Streeterville (the “Guaranty”).
The Company paid Univest Securities, LLC, its placement agent (“Univest”), a cash fee equal to eight percent (8%) of the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company from the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase that were not placed in the DACA Account. The Company will pay Univest a cash fee equal to eight percent (8%) of the funds held in the DACA Account when they are released to the Company.
The offer and sale of these securities was completed by the Company in a private placement transaction that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act without engaging in any advertising or general solicitation of any kind.
The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Secured Prepaid Purchase #4, the DACA Agreement and the Guaranty does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Exhibit 10.2
SECURED PRE-PAID PURCHASE #4
| February 17, 2026 | U.S. $10,355,000.00 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Algorhythm Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), promises to pay to Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, or its successors or assigns (“Investor”), $10,355,000.00 and any interest, fees, charges, and late fees accrued hereunder in accordance with the terms set forth herein and to pay interest on the Outstanding Balance at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum from the Purchase Price Date until the same is paid in full. All interest calculations hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, shall compound daily, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4 (this “Pre-Paid Purchase”), which is issued and made effective as of the date set forth above (the “Effective Date”). This Pre-Paid Purchase is issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 21, 2025, as the same may be amended from time to time, by and between Company and Investor (the “Purchase Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Attachment 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
This Pre-Paid Purchase carries an original issue discount of $855,000.00 (“OID”). The OID is included in the initial principal balance of this Pre-Paid Purchase and is deemed to be fully earned and non-refundable as of the Purchase Price Date. The purchase price of $9,500,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”) shall be payable via wire transfer of immediately available funds as follows: (a) $3,500,000.00 to the Deposit Account (as defined in the DACA (as defined below)), and (b) $6,000,000.00 to the bank account designated in writing by Company.
1. Payment; Prepayment; Maturity Date.
1.1. Payment. All payments owing hereunder shall be in lawful money of the United States of America, as provided for herein, and delivered to Investor at the address or bank account furnished to Company for that purpose. All payments shall be applied first to (a) costs of collection, if any, then to (b) fees and charges, if any, then to (c) accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter, to (d) principal.
1.2. Prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with ten (10) Trading Days’ prior written notice Company may prepay all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance (less such portion of the Outstanding Balance for which Company has received a Purchase Notice (as defined below) from Investor where the applicable Purchase Shares (as defined below) have not yet been delivered). For the avoidance of doubt, during the ten (10) Trading Day prepayment notice period, Investor shall retain the right to submit Purchase Notices, if applicable. If Company exercises its right to prepay this Pre-Paid Purchase, Company shall make payment to Investor of an amount in cash equal to 110% multiplied by the portion of the Outstanding Balance Company elects to prepay. Company will lose the right to prepay this Pre-Paid Purchase if: (a) an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs hereunder; or (b) Company elects to prepay this Pre-Paid Purchase and fails to do so on the date set forth in the prepayment notice sent to Investor.
1.3. Maturity Date. Any remaining Outstanding Balance will be due and payable in cash on the date that is three (3) years from the Effective Date.
2. Security.
2.1. DACA. This Pre-Paid Purchase will be secured by cash in an amount not less than the lesser of (i) $3,500,000.00, and (ii) 90% of the then-current Outstanding Balance (the “Minimum Balance Amount”). The Minimum Balance Amount will be held in the Deposit Account pursuant to a Deposit Account Control Agreement among RIME Holdings, LLC, a Utah limited liability and wholly owned subsidiary of Company (the “RIME Holdings”), Lakeside Bank, an Illinois banking company (“Lakeside Bank”), and Investor, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “DACA”). Company shall have the right to use such cash to repay any portion of the Outstanding Balance, but only so long as such payment does not cause the Outstanding Balance to drop below the Minimum Balance Amount. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, Company may withdraw from the Deposit Account any funds in excess of the Minimum Balance Amount (the “Excess Funds”). In the event Company wishes to withdraw any Excess Funds, Company shall notify Investor of the amount of funds Company wishes to withdraw so that Investor can confirm that the amount of funds requested for withdrawal by Company constitutes Excess Funds. Within three (3) Trading Days of receipt of such notification, Investor shall either confirm that the amount of funds requested for withdrawal by Company constitutes Excess Funds or will provide Company with an explanation as to why such funds exceed the amount available for withdrawal by Company. In the event that Investor confirms that the amount of funds requested for withdrawal by Company constitutes Excess Funds, Investor shall execute joint instructions to be originated and executed by RIME Holdings and Investor directing the withdrawal of the funds by Company. Company may only request withdrawals from the Deposit Account no more than once per week in an amount not less than $25,000.00. Company hereby grants to Investor a first-position security interest in the Deposit Account and acknowledges and agrees that Investor will have the right to file a UCC-1 Financing Statement with respect to the Deposit Account. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor will have control over the Deposit Account within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Uniform Commercial Code pursuant to the terms of the DACA.
2.2. Collateral Documents. This Pre-Paid Purchase is also secured by the Guaranty (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Pledge Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Security Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and the IP Security Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, Company acknowledges and agrees that all of the equity interests it owns in RIME Holdings will be considered Pledged Equity (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) under and subject to the Pledge Agreement, and will be considered Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) under and subject to the Security Agreement.
2.3. Covenants. Until all of Company’s obligations under this Pre-Paid Purchase are satisfied in full, Company will at all times comply with the following covenants: (i) Company will notify Investor in writing of any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation filed or initiated against Company or RIME Holdings within five (5) Trading Days of the initiation of the same; (ii) neither Company nor RIME Holdings will grant any security interest, lien, pledge or other encumbrance in any of RIME Holdings’ assets (including, without limitation, any equity interest in RIME Holdings) without Investor’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Investor’s sole and absolute discretion; (iii) neither Company nor RIME Holdings will sell, transfer, or issue any equity or grant any rights to any equity interest or voting rights in RIME Holdings without Investor’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Investor’s sole and absolute discretion; and (iv) Company will not allow RIME Holdings to issue or incur any debt or conduct any business operations without Investor’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Investor’s sole and absolute discretion.
2.4. Lender Transfers and Redemptions. In the event Investor exercises its rights under the DACA to transfer from the Deposit Account any funds to any person other than Company or its affiliates, or redeem any funds in the Deposit Account, then, upon the completion of such transfer or redemption, the Outstanding Balance shall be reduced by the amount of such transfer or redemption.
2.5. Termination of Security Interest and DACA. Upon the repayment of this Pre-Paid Purchase in full, Investor will, promptly notify Lakeside Bank that its security interest in the Deposit Account has terminated and that the DACA is terminated in its entirety effective immediately.

3. Investor Purchases; Closings.
3.1. Purchases; Purchase Mechanics. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Pre-Paid Purchase and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), Investor, at its sole discretion, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from Company, and Company shall issue and sell to Investor, Purchase Shares by the delivery to Company of Purchase Notices as provided herein.
(a) Purchase Notice. At any time following the Effective Date, Investor may, by providing written notice to Company in the form set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (each, a “Purchase Notice”), require Company to issue and sell Purchase Shares to Investor, in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) Investor shall, in each Purchase Notice, indicate the portion of the Outstanding Balance that Investor elects to apply to the purchase of Purchase Shares pursuant to this Pre-Paid Purchase (each, a “Purchase”, and such amount, the “Purchase Amount”), in its sole discretion, and the timing of delivery; provided that the Purchase Amount shall not exceed the Outstanding Balance, or result in Investor exceeding the limitation set forth in Section 3.1(b).
(ii) Each Purchase Notice shall be delivered to Company in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
(iii) Each Purchase Notice shall set forth the Purchase Amount, the Purchase Share Purchase Price, the number of Purchase Shares to be issued by Company and purchased by Investor, and the remaining Outstanding Balance following the Closing (as defined below) of the Purchase.
(iv) Any Purchase Shares issued hereunder must be issued free trading to Investor pursuant to: (1) an effective Registration Statement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); or (2) an applicable exemption from registration (e.g., Rule 144).
(v) In the event the Purchase Share Purchase Price is below the Floor Price, Investor will have the right to elect to have the applicable Purchase Amount paid in cash rather than Purchase Shares.
(vi) In the event Company has not obtained the Approval (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and cannot issue shares pursuant to a Purchase Notice without exceeding the Exchange Cap (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), Investor will have the right to elect to have the applicable Purchase Amount paid in cash.
(b) Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Pre-Paid Purchase or the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), Company shall not effect any issuance of Purchase Shares pursuant to this Pre-Paid Purchase to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance, the issuance would cause Investor (together with its affiliates) to beneficially own a number of Common Shares exceeding 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such date (including for such purpose the Common Shares issuable upon such issuance) (the “Maximum Percentage”). For purposes of this section, beneficial ownership of Common Shares will be determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Maximum Percentage is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all affiliates and assigns of Investor.
| 3 |
3.2. Closings. The closing of each purchase and sale of Purchase Shares (each, a “Closing”) shall take place in accordance with the procedures set forth below:
(a) Promptly after receipt of a Purchase Notice with respect to each Purchase (and, in any event, not later than two (2) Trading Days after such receipt), Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer such number of Purchase Shares to be purchased by Investor (as set forth in the Purchase Notice) by crediting Investor’s account or its designee’s account at DTC through its DWAC system or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, and transmit notification to Investor that such share transfer has been requested. Promptly upon receipt of such notification, Investor shall pay to Company the aggregate purchase price for the Purchase Shares (as set forth in the Purchase Notice) by offsetting the Purchase Amount against an equal amount outstanding under this Pre-Paid Purchase (first towards accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and then towards outstanding principal as shown in such Purchase Notice). No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional amounts shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. To facilitate the transfer of the Purchase Shares by Investor, the Purchase Shares will not bear any restrictive legends so long as there is an effective Registration Statement or an available exemption from registration for the resale of such Purchase Shares (it being understood and agreed by Investor that notwithstanding the lack of restrictive legends, Investor may only sell such Purchase Shares in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act (including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements)).
(b) In connection with each Closing, each of Company and Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings expressly required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Pre-Paid Purchase in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein.
4. Events of Default and Remedies.
4.1. Event of Default. The following are events of default under this Pre-Paid Purchase (each, “Event of Default”): (a) Company fails to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable hereunder; (b) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over Company or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; (c) Company becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; (d) Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) Company files a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); (f) an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is commenced or filed against Company; (g) Company fails to observe or perform any covenant set forth in Section 4 or Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement; (h) the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without Investor’s prior written consent; (i) Company fails to timely establish and maintain the Share Reserve (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); (j) Company fails to deliver any Purchase Shares in accordance with the terms hereof; (k) any money judgment, writ or similar process is entered or filed against Company or any subsidiary of Company or any of its property or other assets for more than $500,000, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of twenty (20) calendar days unless otherwise consented to by Investor; (l) Company fails to be DWAC Eligible; (m) Company or any subsidiary of Company, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreement in any material respect; (n) Company defaults or otherwise fails to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement of Company contained herein or in any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in any material respect, other than those specifically set forth in this Section 4.1 or Section 4 or Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement or Section 2.3 above; (o) any representation, warranty or other statement made or furnished by or on behalf of Company to Investor herein, in any Transaction Document, or otherwise in connection with the issuance of this Pre-Paid Purchase is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; (p) at any time during the period beginning on the effective date of the Registration Statement and ending on the six (6) month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date, the Registration Statement is suspended, halted, declared ineffective or otherwise unavailable for Lender to sell Purchase Shares; (q) a non-management supported preliminary proxy is filed against Company; and (q) Company or any subsidiary of Company breaches any material covenant or other material term or condition contained in any Other Agreements.
| 4 |
4.2. Default Remedies. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Investor may accelerate this Pre-Paid Purchase by written notice to Company, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (b) – (f) of Section 4.1, an Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred and the Outstanding Balance as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default shall become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash. At any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, upon written notice given by Investor to Company, the Outstanding Balance will automatically increase by seven-and-a-half percent (7.5%) and interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (“Default Interest”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, Investor may continue making Purchases pursuant to Section 3 at any time following an Event of Default until such time as the Outstanding Balance is paid in full. In connection with acceleration described herein, Investor need not provide, and Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and Investor may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Investor at any time prior to payment hereunder and Investor shall have all rights as a holder of the Pre-Paid Purchase until such time, if any, as Investor receives full payment pursuant to this Section 4.2. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit Investor’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Company’s failure to timely deliver Purchase Shares pursuant to a Purchase as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
5. Unconditional Obligation; No Offset. Company acknowledges that this Pre-Paid Purchase is an unconditional, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Company not subject to offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind. Company hereby waives any rights of offset it now has or may have hereafter against Investor, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments or Purchases called for herein in accordance with the terms of this Pre-Paid Purchase.
6. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Pre-Paid Purchase shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
7. Opinion of Counsel. In the event that an opinion of counsel is needed for Purchases under this Pre-Paid Purchase, Investor has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel.
8. Governing Law; Venue. This Pre-Paid Purchase shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Pre-Paid Purchase shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.
| 5 |
9. Arbitration of Disputes. By its issuance or acceptance of this Pre-Paid Purchase, each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement.
10. Cancellation. After repayment of the entire Outstanding Balance, this Pre-Paid Purchase shall be deemed paid in full, shall automatically be deemed canceled, and shall not be reissued.
11. Amendments. The prior written consent of both parties hereto shall be required for any change or amendment to this Pre-Paid Purchase.
12. Assignments. Company may not assign this Pre-Paid Purchase without the prior written consent of Investor. This Pre-Paid Purchase and any Purchase Shares issued upon Purchase of this Pre-Paid Purchase may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by Investor without the consent of Company.
13. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Pre-Paid Purchase, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the subsection of the Purchase Agreement titled “Notices.”
14. Liquidated Damages. Investor and Company agree that in the event Company fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Pre-Paid Purchase, Investor’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Investor and Company agree that any fees, balance adjustments, Default Interest or other charges assessed under this Pre-Paid Purchase are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages (under Investor’s and Company’s expectations that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Purchase Price Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144).
15. Severability. If any part of this Pre-Paid Purchase is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of Company and Investor to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Pre-Paid Purchase shall remain in full force and effect.

GUARANTY
This GUARANTY, made effective as of February 17, 2026, is given by RIME Holdings, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Guarantor”), for the benefit of Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, and its successors, transferees, and assigns (collectively “Investor”).
PURPOSE
A. Algorhythm Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and parent of Guarantor (“Company”), has issued to Investor that certain Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4 of even date herewith in the principal amount of $10,355,000.00 (the “Pre-Paid Purchase”).
B. The Pre-Paid Purchase was issued pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 21, 2025 between Company and Investor (the “Purchase Agreement”).
C. Investor agreed to provide the financing to Company evidenced by the Pre-Paid Purchase only upon the inducement and representation of Guarantor that Guarantor would guaranty certain indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Company owed to Investor under the Pre-Paid Purchase, as provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of $10.00 and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Investor to purchase the Pre-Paid Purchase and provide the financing contemplated therein, Guarantor hereby agrees for the benefit of Investor as follows:
GUARANTY
1. Indebtedness Guaranteed. Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment in full of the Obligations (as defined below), as and when the same (including without limitation portions thereof) become due and payable. Guarantor acknowledges that the amount of the Obligations may exceed the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Purchase. Guarantor further acknowledges that this Guaranty is made for the timely payment and performance of each of the Obligations and is not merely a guaranty of collection. For purposes of this Guaranty, “Obligations” means (a) all loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations, arising on or after the date of this Guaranty, whether documented or undocumented, owed by Company or Guarantor to Investor, whether created by the Pre-Paid Purchase, the Purchase Agreement, or any other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), any modification or amendment to any of the foregoing, and (b) all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Investor in connection with the Pre-Paid Purchase or in connection with the collection or enforcement of any portion of the indebtedness, liabilities or obligations described in the foregoing clause (a) and the performance of the covenants and agreements of Company contained in the Pre-Paid Purchase and the other Transaction Documents.
2. DACA. The Obligations shall be secured by a Deposit Account Control Agreement of even date herewith among Guarantor, Investor and Lakeside Bank (the “DACA”), the Deposit Account (as defined in the DACA) and the funds held therein pursuant to the DACA. Guarantor hereby grants to Investor a first-position security interest in and lien on the Deposit Account and the funds held in the Deposit Account and acknowledges and agrees that Investor will have the right to file a UCC-1 Financing Statement with respect to the Deposit Account. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Investor will have control over the Deposit Account within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Uniform Commercial Code pursuant to the terms of the DACA. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Investor is authorized to send a Lender Instruction Notice (as defined in the DACA) to the Bank (as defined in the DACA) directing the disposition of the funds held in the Deposit Account: (a) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Pre-Paid Purchase); or (b) upon Investor’s receipt of a notice from Company pursuant to Section 2.3(i) of the Pre-Paid Purchase (or otherwise becoming aware of an action described therein). Upon sending a Lender Instruction Notice, Investor will have the right without further notice or demand, to apply all or any portion of the funds held in the Deposit Account to the Obligations.
3. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Investor that:
(a) Guarantor is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, and has the power and authority and the legal right to own and operate its properties and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged.
(b) Guarantor has the power and authority and the legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Guaranty and has taken all necessary action required by its form of organization to authorize such execution, delivery and performance.
(c) This Guaranty constitutes Guarantor’s legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
(d) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not (i) violate any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, governmental agency or arbitrator presently in effect having applicability to Guarantor, (ii) violate or contravene any provision of Guarantor’s organizational documents, or (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease or instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or result in the creation of any lien thereunder. Guarantor is not in default under or in violation of any such law, statute, rule or regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, loan or credit agreement or other agreement, lease or instrument in any case in which the consequences of such default or violation could have a material adverse effect on its business, operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise).
(e) No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority is required on Guarantor’s part to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, this Guaranty.
| 2 |
(f) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Guarantor or any of its properties before any court or arbitrator, or any governmental department, board, agency or other instrumentality which, if determined adversely to Guarantor, would have a material adverse effect on its business, operations, property or condition (financial or otherwise) or on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.
(g) (i) This Guaranty is not given with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which Guarantor is, or will become on or after the date of this Guaranty, indebted, (ii) Guarantor has received at least a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the giving of this Guaranty, (iii) Guarantor is not insolvent, as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will Guarantor be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this Guaranty to Investor, and (iv) Guarantor does not intend to incur debts that will be beyond Guarantor’s ability to pay as such debts become due.
(h) Guarantor has examined or has had the full opportunity to examine the Pre-Paid Purchase and all the other Transaction Documents, all the terms of which are acceptable to Guarantor.
(i) This Guaranty is given in consideration of Investor entering into the Pre-Paid Purchase and providing financing thereunder.
(j) Guarantor has received adequate consideration and at least a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the giving of this Guaranty, which Guarantor hereby acknowledges having received, and thereby will materially benefit from the financial accommodations granted to Company by Investor pursuant to the Pre-Paid Purchase. Investor may rely conclusively on the continuing warranty, hereby made, that Guarantor continues to be benefitted by Investor’s extension of credit accommodations to Company and Investor shall have no duty to inquire into or confirm the receipt of any such benefits, and this Guaranty shall be effective and enforceable by Investor without regard to the receipt, nature or value of any such benefits. As such, this Guaranty is a valid and binding obligation of Guarantor. Guarantor further covenants and agrees that it will not use lack of consideration as a defense to its performance of its obligations under this Guaranty.
4. Alteration of Obligations. In such manner, upon such terms and at such times as Investor and Company deem best and without notice to Guarantor, Investor and Company may alter, compromise, accelerate, extend, renew or change the time or manner for the payment of any Obligation, increase or reduce the rate of interest on the Pre-Paid Purchase, release Company, as to all or any portion of the Obligations, release, substitute or add any one or more guarantors or endorsers, accept additional or substituted security therefor, or release or subordinate any security therefor. No exercise or non-exercise by Investor of any right available to Investor, no dealing by Investor with Guarantor or any other guarantor, endorser of the note or any other person, and no change, impairment or release of all or a portion of the obligations of Company under any of the Transaction Documents or suspension of any right or remedy of Investor against any person, including, without limitation, Company and any other such guarantor, endorser or other person, shall in any way affect any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder or any security furnished by Guarantor or give Guarantor any recourse against Investor. Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company.
| 3 |
5. Waiver. To the extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including (without limitation) (a) any right to require Investor to proceed against Company or any other person or to pursue any other remedy in Investor’s power before proceeding against Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the failure of Investor to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind, including, without limitation, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness, liability or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Company, Investor, any endorser or creditor of Company or Guarantor or on the part of any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or liability or evidence of indebtedness held by Investor as collateral or in connection with any Obligation hereby guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Investor which may destroy or otherwise impair the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Company for reimbursement, or both; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any duty on the part of Investor to disclose to Guarantor any facts Investor may now or hereafter know about Company, regardless of whether Investor has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, since Guarantor acknowledges that it is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Company and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any Obligation; (g) any defense arising because of Investor’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (g) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (h) any claim, right or remedy which Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Company that arises hereunder and/or from the performance by Guarantor hereunder, including, without limitation, any claim, right or remedy of Investor against Company or any security which Investor now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise; and (i) any obligation of Investor to pursue any other guarantor or any other person, or to foreclose on any collateral.
6. Bankruptcy. So long as any Obligation shall be owing to Investor, Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Investor, commence, or join with any other person in commencing, any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency proceeding against Company. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be altered, limited or affected by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company, or by any defense which Company may have by reason of any order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

7. Claims in Bankruptcy. Guarantor shall file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required or permitted by law all claims that Guarantor may have against Company relating to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Guarantor and will assign to Investor all rights of Guarantor thereunder. If Guarantor does not file any such claim, Investor, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Investor’s discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Investor’s nominee. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Investor or Investor’s nominee shall have the sole right to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action that a party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Investor the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to Investor all of Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled; provided, however, that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be deemed satisfied except to the extent that Investor receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution. If Investor receives anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty. If at any time the holder of the Pre-Paid Purchase is required to refund to Company any payments made by Company under the Pre-Paid Purchase because such payments have been held by a bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over Company to constitute a preference under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law then in effect, or for any other reason, then in addition to Guarantor’s other obligation under this Guaranty, Guarantor shall reimburse the holder in the aggregate amount of such refund payments.
8. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. If Company or Guarantor fails to pay all or any portion of any Obligation, or Guarantor otherwise breaches any provision hereof or otherwise defaults hereunder, Guarantor shall pay all such expenses and actual, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Investor in connection with the enforcement of any obligations of Guarantor hereunder, including, without limitation, any attorneys’ fees incurred in any negotiation, alternative dispute resolution proceeding subsequently agreed to by the parties, if any, litigation, or bankruptcy proceeding or any appeals from any of such proceedings.
9. Cumulative Rights. The amount of Guarantor’s liability and all rights, powers and remedies of Investor hereunder and under any other agreement now or at any time hereafter in force between Investor and Guarantor, including, without limitation, any other guaranty executed by Guarantor relating to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor, shall be cumulative and not alternative and such rights, powers and remedies shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Investor by law. This Guaranty is in addition to and exclusive of the guaranty of any other guarantor of any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor.
10. Independent Obligations. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company and, to the extent permitted by law, in the event of any breach or default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not Company is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Company. Investor may maintain successive actions for other breaches or defaults. Investor’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by Investor’s exercise of any of Investor’s rights or remedies or by any such action or by any number of successive actions until and unless all Obligations have been paid and fully performed.
| 5 |
11. Severability. If any part of this Guaranty is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and the balance of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.
12. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Investor, Investor’s permitted successors and assigns, including the assignees of any Obligation, and shall bind the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor. This Guaranty may be assigned by Investor with respect to all or any portion of the Obligations, and when so assigned, Guarantor shall be liable to the assignees under this Guaranty without in any manner affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder with respect to any Obligations retained by Investor.
13. Notices. Whenever Guarantor or Investor shall desire to give or serve any notice, demand, request or other communication with respect to this Guaranty, each such notice shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of:
(a) the date delivered, if delivered by personal delivery as against written receipt therefor or by email to an executive officer, or by confirmed facsimile,
(b) the fifth business day after deposit, postage prepaid, in the United States Postal Service by registered or certified mail, or

14. Application of Payments or Recoveries. With or without notice to Guarantor, Investor, in Investor’s sole discretion and at any time and from time to time and in such manner and upon such terms as Investor deems fit, may (a) apply any or all payments or recoveries from Company or from any other guarantor or endorser under any other instrument or realized from any security, in such manner and order of priority as Investor may determine, to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor, whether or not such indebtedness, liability or obligation is guaranteed hereby or is otherwise secured or is due at the time of such application; and (b) refund to Company any payment received by Investor in connection with any Obligation and payment of the amount refunded shall be fully guaranteed hereby.
15. Setoff. Investor shall have a right of setoff against the Deposit Account. Such right is in addition to any right of setoff Investor may have by law. All rights of setoff may be exercised without notice or demand to Guarantor. No right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of Investor, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff, or by any delay in doing so. Every right of setoff shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived or released by an instrument in writing executed by Investor.
