FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned BLUEDATA CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of KENNETH BLOOM AND DEBORAH BLOOM (collectively, the “Lender”), on September 30, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), the entire aggregate principal amount of all sums advanced by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to this Third Amended and Restated Grid Note, and as more specifically set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (each an “Advance” outstanding), together with accrued interest thereon. This Third Amended and Restated Grid Note amends and restates that certain Demand Grid Promissory Note, dated as of January 11, 2011, made by the Borrower in favor of the Lender, as amended by that certain Amended and Restated Grid Note, dated as of April 6, 2011, made by the Borrower in favor of the Lender, as amended by that certain Second Amended and Restated Grid Note, dated as of April 27, 2011, made by the Borrower in favor of the Lender (as amended and restated, the “Note”).
1. Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay interest, annually (on each anniversary of the date of the issuance of this Note) in arrears, on the unpaid principal balance hereof outstanding from time to time at a rate equal to Five Percent (5%) per annum, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days. Interest shall commence to accrue as of January 11, 2011, and shall continue to accrue on the unpaid principal balance hereof until the principal hereof is paid in full (whether before or after maturity or judgment).
Anything contained in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lender does not intend to charge and the Borrower shall not be required to pay interest or other charges in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Any payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be refunded to Borrower or credited against principal.
2. Payment. The outstanding principal amount of all Advances made under this Note and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
3. Pre-Payment. The outstanding principal amount of all Advances made under this Note may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
4. Advances; Schedule A.
(a) | All Advances made by the Lender to the Borrower and all payments made on account of the outstanding principal balance hereof shall be recorded and endorsed by the Lender on Schedule A attached hereto, which is made a part of this Note. All such recordations by the Lender shall be final and binding upon the Borrower absent manifest error demonstrated by the Borrower. |
(b) | In the event the Borrower, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine that it requires an Advance in order to pay operating expenses actually incurred by the Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a written notice of borrowing on any business day prior to the Maturity Date specifying, without limitation, the amount of the requested Advance and the date upon which such Advance is required to be paid to the Borrower (such notice, a “Borrowing Notice”). |
(c) | Within 10 business days of receipt of a Borrowing Notice, the Lender shall make available to the Borrower, at the address or to the bank account provided in the Borrowing Notice, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount requested pursuant to the Borrowing Notice. |
5. Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined: this Note shall become forthwith due and payable, to the Lender, without presentment, demand or protest or notice of any kind, all of which are being hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER MAY DEPRIVE IT OF AN IMPORTANT RIGHT AND THAT SUCH WAIVER HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BEEN AGREED TO BY THE BORROWER.

11. General. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy hereunder. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Lender. This Note may only be amended by a written instrument referring to this Note and executed by the Borrower and the Lender.
