PROMISSORY NOTE

 

This Note is issued pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated as of the 20th day of May, 2014 among ###-###-#### Ontario Inc., an Ontario Corporation, (“Parent”) as borrower, Event Cardio Group, Inc., a Canadian corporation (the “Company”), Taunton Ravenscroft Inc. (“TR”), John Bentivoglio (“JB”) and Nicholas Bozza (“NB”), as guarantors, 2399371 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation, as lender (the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, The Parent acknowledges itself indebted to and covenants with the Lender, that it will pay to, or to the order of, the Lender at Lender’s offices at 7050 Weston Rd., Suite 400, Woodbridge, ON, L4L 8G7 (or such other address) as the Lender may direct, the sum of FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS, Cdn$583,000.00 (the “Principal Amount”) of lawful money of Canada (or such greater principal amount of the Loan advanced by Lender from time to time under the Loan Agreement and noted by the Lender on the grid attached hereto as Schedule “A”) plus interest at 12% per annum compounded monthly (“Interest”).

 

1.

This Note evidences the obligation of the Parent to repay a Loan in the aggregate principal amount of Cdn$583,000.00 (or such greater principal amount of the Loan advanced by Lender from time to time under the Loan Agreement and noted by the Lender on the grid attached hereto) made pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Lender is entitled to the benefits of the Loan Agreement, including (without limitation) the Security and the other Loan Documents referred to therein, and reference is made thereto for a description of all rights and remedies thereunder. Neither reference to the Loan Agreement, nor any provision thereof for security for the Obligations, shall affect or impair the absolute unconditional obligation of the Parent to pay the Principal Amount owing under the Loan Agreement, together with all interest accrued thereon as set forth therein and herein.

 

 

2.

The entire Principal Amount of this Note then outstanding shall be paid on or before the Maturity Date, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon.

 

 

3.

At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Parent may, at its option, prepay in whole or in part, amounts owing under this Note as provided in the Loan Agreement.

 

 

4.

If the Parent shall make any payment such payments will be applied first, to the costs and fees owing to the Lender, second, to the payment of Interest accrued through the date of payment and third, to the payment of the Principal Amount. If the date for any payment or prepayment hereunder falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then for all purposes of this Note, the same shall be deemed to have fallen on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payments of interest.

 

 

5.

If an event of default shall occur, Lender may, at its option, by notice (a “Default Notice”) to the Parent, Company and Guarantors declaring the Principal Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon to be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived). Upon giving such a Default Notice, the Lender shall be entitled to be paid in full the outstanding Principal Amount unpaid hereunder, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, and any costs it may have incurred, including reasonable legal fees, and Lender shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies which may be available to it under applicable law or otherwise to enforce payment of all such amounts.

6.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the sole recourse of the Lender against Nicholas D.

Bozza, Gianfranco Bentivoglio, Taunton Ravenscroft Inc. and the Lender (the “Shares”) and the Lender shall not commence any action seeking or be granted a judgement against Nicholas D. Bozza, Gianfranco Bentivoglio or Taunton Ravenscroft Inc. enforceable against any property of Nicholas D. Bozza, Gianfranco Bentivoglio or Taunton Ravenscroft Inc. other than the Shares.

 

 

7.

8.

No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right exclude other further exercises thereof or the exercise of any other right.

 

 

9.

The Principal Amount outstanding from time to time under this Note as evidenced on the grid schedule attached hereto shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof; provided that notwithstanding the state of the grid schedule attached hereto, the failure of the Lender to record any amounts owing hereunder on the grid schedule attached hereto shall not affect the obligation of the Parent to pay to the Lender the amounts due and payable by the Company under and pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

 

 

10.

The Parent hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of non-payment, notice of protest of this Note, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance or enforcement of or default under this Note, and waives diligence in collection or bringing suit with respect to this Note.

 

 

11.

This Note is assignable by the Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

 

12.
