3.          Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance at rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until the entire principal balance is paid in full.

6.          Default. The existence or occurrence of any one or more of the following will constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:

 

6.1       Non-Performance. Company’s failure to comply timely and fully with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, including, without limitation, the failure to pay all amounts due within ten (10) days after the due date.

 

6.2       Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Company being insolvent by being unable to pay debts when due or by having liabilities in excess of assets; or Company committing an act of bankruptcy, making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the filing by or against Company of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy or for the appointment of a receiver (and any involuntary petition is not dismissed within thirty (30) days from the filing thereof); or if there commences under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, proceedings affecting any significant part of Company’s property or for the composition, extension, arrangement, or adjustment of any of their respective obligations; or if a writ of attachment, execution, or any similar process is issued or levied against any significant part of Company’s property that is not released, stayed, bonded, or vacated within a reasonable time after its issue or levy.

 

7.           Representations and Warranties of Company. Company represents and warrants to Lender, which representations and warranties shall be deemed to be repeated or confirmed upon each request for an advance hereunder, that: (a) Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has full power, authority, and legal right to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged; (b) Company has full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Note, and has taken all necessary corporate and legal action to authorize the borrowing evidenced hereby on the terms and conditions of this Note, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Note and the performance of its obligations hereunder; (c) this Note constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Company enforceable in accordance with its terms; (d) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Note, and the use of the proceeds of the borrowings evidenced hereby, will not violate any provision of any law or regulation or of any judgment, order, decree, determination, or award of any court, arbitrator, or government authority, or of the charter or bylaws or other corporate rules of Company or of any other loan or security agreement, lease, contract, or other agreement, instrument, or undertaking to which Company is a party or which purports to be binding upon it or any of its property or assets.

 

8.          Acceleration. In addition to all other rights and remedies at law and/or equity Lender may have if an Event of Default occurs, Lender may, at its option without further notice to Company, declare immediately due and payable the unpaid principal balance of this Note together with all other sums owed by Company under this Note.

 

9.          Notices. All notices that Company or Lender is required or permitted to give under this Note shall be delivered to the addresses of Company or Lender set forth in the opening paragraph.

 

10.        Severability. If any term or provision of this Note is, to any extent, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Note will not be affected, and the invalid or enforceable term or provision will be reduced or otherwise modified by the court or authority only to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. If any term or provision cannot be reduced or modified to make it reasonable and permit its enforcement, it will be severed from this Note and the remaining terms will be interpreted in a way as to give maximum validity and enforceability to this Note. It is the intention of Company that, if any provision of this Note is capable of two constructions, one of which would render the provisions void and the other of which would render the provisions valid, then the provision will have the meaning that renders it valid.

Company may not voluntarily or involuntarily transfer, convey, or assign this Note, or any of its duties or obligations hereunder, without Lender’s prior written consent, which may be withheld for any reason, or for no reason at all. As used herein, the term “Lender” means and includes the successors and permitted assigns of Lender.

16.          No Waiver by Lender. No delay or failure of Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall affect such right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude further exercise thereof.

 

17.          Further Assurances. Company agrees to execute and deliver such further documents and to do such other acts and things as Lender may reasonably request in order further to effect the purposes of this Note and the due performance by Company of its obligations hereunder.
