Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an event of default (as described below), then to the extent permitted by law, the Company will pay interest in cash to the Holder, payable on demand, on the outstanding principal balance of this Note from the date of the event of default until such event of default is cured at the rate of the lesser of 20% and the maximum applicable legal rate per annum. Payments hereunder shall be made at such place as the holder hereof shall designate to the undersigned, in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America. Any payment which becomes due on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday shall be payable on the next business day.

 

This Note shall, (i) upon declaration by the Holder or (ii) automatically upon acceleration pursuant to clause (c) below, become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of any of the following specified events of default:

 

(a)          If the Company shall default in the due and punctual payment of the principal amount of this Note when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity or by acceleration; or

(c)          The Company shall fail to observe and perform any material term, condition or agreement in this Note, which term, condition or agreement is required on its part to be observed or performed, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of ten (10) days after written notice specifying such failure shall have been given to the Company by the Holder of this Note; or

(a)          In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the Common Stock or any other class or series of Preferred Stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”), an amount (the “Liquidation Preference Amount”) for every $1.00 in principal of Note equal to (i) $2.50 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like) plus (ii) any accrued but unpaid dividends to which the holders of Notes are then entitled.

After payment of the full Liquidation Preference Amount to which Holder is entitled, Holder will not be entitled to any further participation as such in any distribution of the assets of the Company.

 

(b)          A consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations, or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the effectuation by the Company of a transaction or series of related transactions in which, following such transaction(s), the holders of the outstanding voting power of the Company prior to the transaction cease to hold, directly or indirectly, a majority of the outstanding voting power of the surviving entity, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up within the meaning of this “Liquidation Preference” section.

 

 
 

 

(c)          Written notice of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company within the meaning of this “Liquidation Preference” section, stating a payment date and the place where the distributable amounts shall be payable, shall be given by mail, postage prepaid, no less than forty-five (45) days prior to the payment date stated therein, or twenty (20) days prior to the stockholder meeting to approve the relevant transaction, whichever is earlier, to the Holder at its address as the same shall appear on the books of the Company.

 

(d)          On the effective date of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this “Liquidation Preference” section, the Company shall pay cash and/or such other consideration to which the Holder is entitled hereunder. 

 

The Company for itself and its successors and assigns hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance or endorsement of this Note, and agrees that this Note shall be deemed to have been made under, and shall be interpreted and governed by reference to, the laws of the State of New York.

 

Except as expressly agreed in writing by the Holder, no extension of time for payment of this Note, or any installment hereof, and no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the liability of the Company under this Note.

 

All of the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements made by or contained in this Note on behalf of the undersigned shall bind its successors, whether so expressed or not.

 

No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such rights preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

 

THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE TRANSACTION OF WHICH THIS NOTE IS A PART IS A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION, AND TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO NOTICE AND HEARING WITH RESPECT TO ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY WHICH THE HOLDER OR ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS MAY DESIRE TO USE.

 

It is the intention of the Company and the Holder that all payments due hereunder will be treated for accounting and tax purposes as indebtedness of the Company to the Holder. Each of the Company and the Holder agrees to report such payments due hereunder for the purposes of all taxes in a manner consistent with such intended characterization.

 

 
 

 

If any term or provision of this Note shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms and provisions herein shall in no way be affected thereby.

 

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
