otherwise prejudice the right of the Payee.  No remedy conferred hereby shall be exclusive of any other remedy referred to herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Payee agrees that its rights and remedies hereunder are limited to receipt of cash or shares of the Company’s equity securities in the amounts described herein.

 

6.                                       Prepayment Options.

 

(a)                            Prepayment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Payee shall have the right, at such Payee’s option, to require the Company to prepay all of the sum of this Note at a price equal to 110% of the outstanding principal amount and any interest accrued and outstanding under this Note (the “Prepayment Price”), provided, that such prepayment is requested upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction (as defined in Section 6(e) below).  Nothing in this Section 6(a) shall limit the Payee’s rights under Section 5 hereof.

 

(b)                           Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Payee.  At least thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence of a Major Transaction and within one (1) day after the occurrence of a Major Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of a Prepayment Event”) to the Payee.  At any time on or after the earlier of the Payee’s receipt of a Notice of a Prepayment Event and the Payee becoming aware of a Major Transaction, the Payee may require the Company to prepay all of the outstanding principal amount and any interest accrued and outstanding under this Note by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Prepayment at Option of Payee”) to the Company.

 

(c)                            Payment of Prepayment Price.  Upon the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Prepayment at Option of Payee from the Payee, the Company shall immediately notify the Payee by facsimile of the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Prepayment at Option of Payee and the Payee which has sent such a notice shall deliver to the Company this Note on or before the consummation or closing of a Major Transaction.    The Company shall pay the Prepayment Price to Payee at or prior to the closing of the Major Transaction; provided that this Note shall have been so delivered to the Company.  If the Company shall fail to prepay all of the Prepayment Price (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy the Payee may have under this Note, the Prepayment Price payable in respect of such unprepaid Notes shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2.0%) per each period of thirty (30) consecutive days, pro rated for any period of less than thirty (30) days until paid in full.  Until the Company pays such unpaid Prepayment Price in full to the Payee, the Payee shall have the option (the “Void Optional Prepayment Option”) to, in lieu of prepayment, require the Company to promptly return to the Payee this Note that was submitted for prepayment by Payee under this Section 6(c) and for which the Prepayment Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the “Void Optional Prepayment Notice”).   Upon the Company’s receipt of such Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) and prior to payment of the full Prepayment Price to Payee, (i) the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Payee shall be null and void with respect to this Note submitted for prepayment and for which the Prepayment Price has not been paid and (ii) the Company shall immediately return this Note submitted to the Company by the Payee for

prepayment under this Section 6(c) and for which the Prepayment Price has not been paid.  A Payee’s delivery of a Void Optional Prepayment Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice.

 

(d)                           Company’s Prepayment Option.  The Company may prepay, at the option of its Board of Directors, all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon upon five (5) business days prior written notice to the Payee (the “Company Prepayment Notice”) at a cash price equal to 110% of the sum of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any interest accrued and outstanding (the “Company Prepayment Price”).  The Company may not deliver a Company Prepayment Notice to the Payee unless the Company has clear and good funds for a minimum of the amount it intends to prepay in a bank account controlled by the Company.  The Company Prepayment Notice shall state the date of prepayment (the “Company Prepayment Date”), the Company Prepayment Price, the amount of the Note of such Payee to be prepaid, the amount of accrued and unpaid interest through the Company Prepayment Date and shall call upon the Payee to surrender to the Company on the Company Prepayment Date at the place designated in the Company Prepayment Notice such Payee’s Note.  The Company Prepayment Date shall be no more than five (5) trading days after the date on which the Payee is notified of the Company’s intent to prepay the Note (the “Company Prepayment Notice Date”).  If the Company fails to pay the Company Prepayment Price by the sixth (6th) trading day following the Company Prepayment Notice Date, the prepayment will be declared null and void and the Company shall lose its right to deliver a Company Prepayment Notice to the Payee in the future.  On or after the Company Prepayment Date, the Payee shall surrender the Notes called for prepayment to the Company at the place designated in the Company Prepayment Notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the Company Prepayment Price.

 

(e)                            For purposes of this Note, “Major Transaction” means the consummation of any of the following transactions: (i) the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Company with or into a person or entity (other than (A) pursuant to a migratory merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, or (B) a consolidation, merger or other business combination in which holders of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries voting power immediately prior to the transaction continue after the transaction to hold, directly or indirectly, the voting power of the surviving entity or entities necessary to elect a majority of the members of the board of directors (or their equivalent if other than a corporation) of such entity or entities); (ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ assets; or (iii) the consummation of a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to the holders of more than 30% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock; provided, however, the following shall not be deemed a Major Transaction for purposes of this Note: (a) the Proposed Financing; (b) a split, reverse split, dividend or distribution with respect to the common stock of the Company which has been disclosed to the Payee; (c) the tender, exchange or repricing of any securities of the Company which are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company which has been disclosed to the Payee.
