ARTICLE II
TERM LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT; SYNDICATION
2.1 TERM LOAN. Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, to disburse the proceeds of the Term Loan to or at the
direction of Borrower on the Closing Date. Borrower hereby agrees and
acknowledges that the Principal Balance of the Term Loan as of the Closing Date
equals $21,660,167.00, which amount equals the sum of (i) the principal portion
of the "Revolving Loans" (as defined in the Existing FINOVA Loan Agreement)
repaid with the proceeds of the Term Loan equal to $21,637,243.00, plus (ii) the
portion of accrued and unpaid interest on such "Revolving Loans" equal to
$22,924.00, which hereby is capitalized and a part of the initial Principal
Balance of the Term Loan. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to so repay the
portion of the "Revolving Loans" (as defined in the Existing FINOVA Loan
Agreement) and such portion of accrued and unpaid interest thereon by internal
transfer.
2.2 USE OF PROCEEDS, TERM NOTE AND REBORROWING.
2.2.1 USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of the Term Loan shall
be used solely to repay a portion of certain Indebtedness owed to
Lender under the Existing FINOVA Loan Agreement, or to repay
intercompany Indebtedness owing by Borrower to InfoCure Corporation (to
the extent contemporaneously used by InfoCure Corporation to repay a
portion of the Indebtedness owed to Lender under the Existing FINOVA
Loan Agreement) and to pay related transaction costs.
2.2.2 TERM NOTE. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by the
Term Note.
2.2.3 REBORROWING. Borrower may not reborrow all or any
portion of the Term Loan which is repaid or prepaid.
2.3 INTEREST.
2.3.1 INTEREST RATES AND PAYMENT. Except as provided in
subsection 2.3.2, the Principal Balance of the Term Loan shall bear
interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate, plus the
Applicable Margin. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each
20
28
Interest Payment Date. Interest also shall be paid on the date of any
payment or prepayment of the Term Loan pursuant to Sections 2.6 and
2.8.
2.3.2 DEFAULT RATE. During a Default Rate Period,
Borrower's Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable Default
Rate.
2.3.3 INTEREST AND FEES COMPUTATION. Computations of
interest on fees and all other Borrower's Obligations (other than the
Term Loan) shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 360
days and charged for the actual number of days during the period for
which such interest and fees are being charged. Computations of
interest on the Term Loan shall be computed on the basis of a year
consisting of 365 days (or, in the case of a leap year, 366 days) and
charged for the actual number of days during the period for which such
interest is being charged. In computing interest and fees, the date of
funding shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded.
2.3.4 MAXIMUM INTEREST. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, Lender
shall not collect a rate of interest on any obligation or liability due
and owing by Borrower to Lender in excess of the maximum contract rate
of interest permitted by applicable law (such excess referred to as
"Excess Interest"). Lender and Borrower agree that the interest laws of
the State of Arizona shall govern the relationship among them and
understand and believe that the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents comply with the usury laws of the State of Arizona, but in
the event of a final adjudication to the contrary, Borrower shall be
obligated to pay, nunc pro tunc, to Lender only such interest as then
shall be permitted by the laws of the state found to govern the
contract relationship between Lender and Borrower. If any Excess
Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Loan Agreement or any
other Loan Document, then in such event (i) Borrower shall not be
obligated to pay such Excess Interest, (ii) any Excess Interest
collected by Lender shall be, at Lender's option, (A) applied to the
Principal Balance in such manner as Lender may elect or to accrued and
unpaid interest not in excess of the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law (the "Maximum Rate") or (B) refunded to the payor
thereof, (iii) the interest rates provided for herein (the "Stated
Rate") shall be automatically reduced to the Maximum Rate and the Loan
Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, modified to
reflect such reduction and (iv) Borrower shall not have any action
against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection
of such Excess Interest; provided, however, that if at any time
thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Rate, Borrower
shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to pay interest at the
Maximum Rate until such time as the total interest received by Lender
is equal to the total interest which Lender would have received had the
Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest
rate payable. Thereafter, the interest rate payable shall be the Stated
Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the Maximum Rate,
in which event the provisions contained in this subsection 2.3.4 shall
again apply.

With respect to Net Issuance Proceeds from any such issuances
by Borrower, if any Event of Default shall exist on the date
of either such issuance or Borrower's receipt of such Net
Issuance Proceeds, or if any Event of Default shall result

12.2 SURVIVAL OF LOAN AGREEMENT; INDEMNITIES. All covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made in this Loan Agreement and in
the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of
the Term Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Term Note and of
all other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as
any of Borrower's Obligations remain outstanding, unperformed or unpaid and the
Commitments have not been terminated. Notwithstanding the repayment of all
amounts due under the Loan Documents, the cancellation of the Term Note and the
release and/or cancellation of any and all of the Loan Documents or the
foreclosure of any Liens on the Collateral or the termination of the
Commitments, the obligations of Borrower to indemnify Lender with respect to the
expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 10.2 shall
survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to
actions which may be brought against Lender have run.
12.3 FURTHER ASSURANCE. From time to time, Borrower shall execute
and deliver to Lender such additional documents as Lender reasonably may require
to carry out the purposes of the Loan Documents and to protect rights of Lender
thereunder, including, without limitation, using its best efforts in the event
any Collateral is to be sold to secure the approval by any
68
76
Governmental Body of any application required by such Governmental Body in
connection with such sale, and not take any action inconsistent with such sale
or the purposes of the Loan Documents.
12.4 TAXES AND FEES. Should any tax (other than taxes based upon
the net income of any Lender), recording or filing fees become payable in
respect of any of the Loan Documents, or any amendment, modification or
supplement thereof, Borrower agrees to pay the same on demand, together with any
interest or penalties thereon attributable to any delay by Borrower in meeting
any Lender demand, and agrees to hold Lender harmless with respect thereto.
12.5 SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Loan
Agreement is deemed to be invalid by reason of the operation of any law, or by
reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any court or Governmental Body,
as applicable, this Loan Agreement shall be construed as not containing such
provision and the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of
any other provisions hereof, and any and all other provisions hereof which
otherwise are lawful and valid shall remain in full force and effect.
12.6 WAIVER. No delay on the part of Lender in exercising any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
preclude other or further exercise thereof, or be deemed to establish a custom
or course of dealing or performance between the parties hereto, or preclude the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
12.7 MODIFICATION OF LOAN DOCUMENTS. No modification or waiver of
any provision of any of the Loan Documents shall be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by Borrower and Lender, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for
which given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle
Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.
12.8 CAPTIONS. The headings in this Loan Agreement are for purposes
of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
12.9 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Loan Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors
and assigns of the parties hereto.
12.10 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All rights and remedies of the parties
hereto, any other Loan Documents or otherwise, shall be cumulative and
non-exclusive, and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Lender shall not
be required to prosecute collection, enforcement or other remedies against
Borrower before proceeding against any Subsidiary of Borrower or to enforce or
resort to any security, liens, collateral or other rights of Lender. One or more
successive actions may be brought against Borrower and/or any Subsidiary of
Borrower, either in the same action or in separate actions, as often as Lender
deems advisable, until all of Borrower's Obligations are paid and performed in
full and the Commitments shall have terminated.

12.11 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; CONFLICT. This Loan Agreement and the other
Loan Documents executed prior or pursuant hereto constitute the entire agreement
among the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby and supersede any prior agreements, whether written or oral, relating to
the subject matter hereof. In the event of a conflict between the terms and
conditions set forth herein and the terms and conditions set forth in any other
Loan Document, the terms and conditions set forth herein shall govern.
12.12 APPLICABLE LAW. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA.
12.13 JURISDICTION AND VENUE. BORROWER HEREBY AGREES THAT ALL
ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS INITIATED BY BORROWER AND ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
OUT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF MARICOPA
COUNTY, OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA OR, IF
LENDER INITIATES SUCH ACTION, IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING COURTS, ANY COURT IN
WHICH LENDER SHALL INITIATE SUCH ACTION, TO THE EXTENT SUCH COURT HAS
JURISDICTION. BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH
JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED BY LENDER IN ANY OF SUCH
COURTS IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA. BORROWER WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA OR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR AN IMPROPER FORUM
BASED ON LACK OF VENUE. THE EXCLUSIVE CHOICE OF FORUM FOR BORROWER SET FORTH IN
THIS SECTION 12.13 SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT BY OR LENDER
OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN ANY OTHER FORUM TO THE EXTENT SUCH FORUM HAS
JURISDICTION OR THE TAKING BY LENDER OF ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THE SAME IN ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION PERMITTED BY LAW, AND BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO
COLLATERALLY ATTACK ANY SUCH JUDGMENT OR ACTION.
12.14 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. LENDER AND BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGE
AND AGREE THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
OR WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY WOULD BE BASED UPON
DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY LAWSUIT
ARISING OUT OF ANY SUCH CONTROVERSY WILL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
70
78
12.15 TIME OF ESSENCE. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE FOR THE PERFORMANCE BY
BORROWER OF THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS.
12.16 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Within fifteen (15) days after Lender
requests Borrower to do so, Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender a
statement certifying (i) that this Loan Agreement is in full force and effect
and has not been modified except as described in such statement, (ii) the date
to which interest and principal on the Term Note have been paid, (iii) the
Principal Balance, (iv) whether or not to its knowledge an Incipient Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and, if so, specifying in
reasonable detail each such Incipient Default or Event of Default of which they
have knowledge, (v) whether to its knowledge Borrower has any defense, setoff or
counterclaim to the payment of the Term Note in accordance with its terms, and,
if so, specifying each defense, setoff or counterclaim of which they have
knowledge in reasonable detail (including where applicable the amount thereof),
and (vi) as to any other matter reasonably requested by Lender.
12.17 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Neither Lender nor any agent or
attorney of Lender shall be liable to Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower for
consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong
relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Borrower's
Obligations.
12.18 COUNTERPARTS. This Loan Agreement may be executed by the
parties hereto in several counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed
to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and
the same agreement.
12.19 NO FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP. No provision in this Loan Agreement
or in any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing among the parties
hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty by Lender to Borrower or
its Subsidiaries.
12.20 NOTICE OF BREACH BY LENDER. Borrower agrees to give Lender
written notice of (i) any action or inaction by Lender or any agent or attorney
of Lender in connection with the Loan Documents that may be actionable against
Lender or any agent or attorney of Lender or (ii) any defense to the payment of
Borrower's Obligations for any reason, including, but not limited to, commission
of a tort or violation of any contractual duty implied by law.
12.21 UNWIND AGREEMENT. If for any reason at any time the
Distribution shall fail, shall fail to be consummated or shall be unwound,
terminated, repealed or otherwise not of full force and effect, then the
Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to (a) take such action
as Lender may require, if any, in its sole and absolute discretion, to unwind or
otherwise amend and modify the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and/or the Related Transaction Documents and/or
otherwise evidenced by the Existing FINOVA Loan Agreement and (b) execute and
deliver such agreements, documents and instruments, and procure the issuance of
such legal opinions, in each case as Lender may require in its sole and
71
79
absolute discretion. The Borrowers acknowledges that the agreements and
covenants contained in this Section 12.21 constitute a material inducement to
Lender's agreement to execute and deliver, and consent to the transactions
contemplated by, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. All costs,
expenses and fees incurred by Lender and its representatives under this Section
12.21 shall be borne solely by the Borrower and shall be due and payable by
Borrower to Lender on demand. The failure of Borrower or any Subsidiary of
Borrower, or any debtor, guarantor, borrower or other obligor under the Existing
FINOVA Loan Agreement, to comply with the terms and conditions of this Section
12.21 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default, without further action or
notice by or on behalf of Lender or any other Person.
