15.No Usury. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Holder at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Holder to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section shall control every other covenant and agreement in this Note and the other Loan Documents. If applicable state or federal law should at any time be judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the Loan, or if Holder’s exercise of the option to accelerate the Maturity Date, or if any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any Interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Holder’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Holder shall be credited on the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note, and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use or forbearance of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan.

17.Choice of Law. This Note and its validity, enforcement, and interpretation shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (without regard to any principles of conflicts of laws) and applicable United States federal law.

 

18.Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER AND HOLDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS, OR ACTIONS OF HOLDER RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS EVIDENCING AND/OR SECURING THE LOAN, AND AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH OF HOLDER AND BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. EACH OF BORROWER AND HOLDER CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF BORROWER OR HOLDER HAS REPRESENTED TO THE OTHER, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT BORROWER OR HOLDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR HOLDER TO ACCEPT THIS NOTE AND MAKE THE LOAN.

 

19.Venue; Jurisdiction. BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT.

20.Indemnification. Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Holder, each of its affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all actions, claims, damages, losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, costs and expenses of any kind (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements in connection with any subpoena, investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto) which may be incurred by the Indemnified Party or which may be claimed against the Indemnified Party by any person or entity by reason of or in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Note, or action taken or omitted to be taken by Holder under, this Note; provided, however, that Borrower is not obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party under the Loan Documents to the extent the claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final adjudication to have resulted from any Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit Borrower’s obligations contained elsewhere in this Note. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of Borrower hereunder, the indemnities and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of all obligations hereunder.

 

21.Equal Treatment of Holders. No consideration (including any modification of this Note) shall be offered or paid to any Person (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision hereof unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the holders of the same series of Note as held by the Holder hereunder. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of Outstanding Principal Balance or Interest on the Notes in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective Outstanding Principal Balances due on all of Notes at any applicable time. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Holder by the Company and negotiated separately by each Holder, and is intended for the Company to treat the Holders as a class, but shall not in any way be construed as the Holders acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase or disposition of the Notes or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder may enter into agreements, amend or consent to a waiver or modification of provisions of this Note without offering the same terms or extending the same agreements to all Holders, provided, however, that the terms of the agreement, amendment, waiver or modification at issue is not more favorable than the terms which are applicable to each other Holder or will serve to adversely affect the other Holders in any way.

 

22.Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Note may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed - in the case of an amendment - by the Company and 50.01% of the Holders of the Notes based on the Aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes or - in the case of a waiver - by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided however, that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder (or group of Holders) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Note shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Holder relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Holders shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Holder.

 

23.Lock-Up Release Agreement. As provided for in the Purchase Agreement, the Borrower shall execute a Lock-Up Release Agreement that provides for shares of Common Stock held by the Holder to be released from certain prior transfer transactions on a one for one basis, proportional to the original subscription amount of the Holder for Prior Debentures to the Subscription Amount of the Holder in respect of this Note.

 

24.Counterparts. If this Note is to be executed by more than one person or entity, then this Note may be executed electronically or by electronic transmission in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
