PROMISSORY NOTE

 

Principal Amount:  $1,200,000.00

Birmingham, Alabama

 

May 1, 2008

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Crdentia Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Crdentia”), CRDE Corp., a Delaware corporation, and MP Health Corp., a Delaware corporation (each referred to individually and collectively as “Issuer”), jointly and severally promise to pay to Medical People Healthcare Services, Inc., an Alabama corporation or any assignees of the Note (“Holder”), the principal amount of One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000.00) (the “Principal Amount”), payable as set forth below.  Issuer also promises to pay interest on the unpaid Principal Amount at such times and in such manner as specified in this Agreement.

 

1.               Maturity Date.  Any unpaid Principal Amount hereunder, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereupon, will become due and payable no later than October 31, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”), unless paid sooner in accordance with the terms hereof or unless there is an Event of Default (as defined below).

 

2.               Interest.  Prior to the Maturity Date or the occurrence of an Event of Default, the unpaid Principal Amount periodically outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Note will bear simple interest at an annual rate equal to 7.75 percent until paid in full.  Interest on the unpaid Principal Amount is to be calculated on a per-annum basis, based on a year containing exactly 365 days, according to the actual number of days elapsed, including the first day but excluding the last.  All accrued but unpaid interest on the Principal Amount shall be paid in accordance with the terms set forth below in paragraph 3.  After the Maturity Date or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more Events of Default, any unpaid Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid interest will bear interest at the rate of 9.75 percent per annum until paid in full.

 



 

3.               Payment of Principal and Interest.  Commencing on May 31, 2008 and following on the last business day of each calendar month following the date of this Note through the Maturity Date, Issuer shall pay to Holder an amount equal to $44,128.68.   All payments of Principal Amount and interest are to be made in immediately available funds in lawful currency of the United States of America without offset, deduction, or counterclaim of any kind.  As used in this Note, a “business day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday, or a day that is a legal holiday in the State of Texas.

 

4.               Events of DefaultThe occurrence of any of the following events will constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note: (a) Issuer’s failure to pay any amount hereunder when due and payable; (b) any Issuer making an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (c) any Issuer filing or consenting to the filing of any petition or complaint pursuant to federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws, seeking the appointment of a receiver or trustee for any of its assets, seeking the adjudication of such Issuer as bankrupt or insolvent, seeking an “order for relief” under such statutes, or seeking a reorganization of or a plan of arrangement for Issuer; or (d) any default or breach by any Issuer of or under any agreement for borrowed money, including loan agreements, or breach under any capital equipment lease agreement by which such Issuer is bound or obligated following the expiration of any applicable grace period.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire Principal Amount then outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest, shall become immediately due and payable.

 

5.               PrepaymentThis Note may be prepaid, at the option of Issuer, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or premium; provided, however, that any prepayment will be applied first to the Principal Amount then outstanding until paid in full and then to accrued and unpaid interest as of the date of such prepayment.

 

6.               Maximum Rate of Interest.  In no event will any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable by Holder under applicable law.  If at any time such laws would render usurious any amount due under this Note, then it is the express intention of Holder and Issuer that Issuer not be required to pay interest on this Note at a rate in excess of the maximum lawful rate, that the provisions of this paragraph 6 control over all other provisions of this Note that may be in apparent conflict, that such excess amount be credited immediately to the principal balance owing under this Note (or, if this Note has been fully repaid, refunded by Holder to Issuer), and that the provisions hereof be reformed immediately and the amounts thereafter decreased so as to comply with the then-applicable usury law, but otherwise so as to permit the fullest possible recovery of all amounts due under this Note.  Any credit or refund will not cure or waive any default by Issuer under this Note.  For the purposes of this paragraph 6, the term “applicable law” means the laws of the State of Alabama, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

 



 

7.               Incorporation of Prior NoteThe principal amount of this Note represents the aggregate of the following:  (i) all principal due and owing from Issuer to Holder from that certain Promissory Note dated November 12, 2007 in the original principal amount of $500,000.00 from Issuer to Holder (the “Prior Note”) which Prior Note shall be deemed “Paid in Full” and (ii) all amounts due and owing pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.3(b) of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement by and among Crdentia Corp., CRDE Corp., MP Health Corp., Medical People Healthcare Services, Inc., and The Shareholders of Medical People Healthcare Services, Inc.
