(j) Events of Default. An “Event of Default” is: (i) a default in payment of any amount due hereunder which default continues for more than two (2) business days after the due date thereof; (ii) a default in the timely issuance of Underlying Shares upon and in accordance with terms hereof, which default continues for two (2) Business Days after the Company has received written notice informing the Company that it has failed to issue shares or deliver stock certificates within the second (2nd) day following the Conversion Date; (iii) failure by the Company for two (2) days after written notice has been received by the Company to comply with any material provision of the Second Exchange Note the Exchange Agreement (including without limitation the failure to issue the requisite number of shares of Common Stock upon conversion hereof and the failure to redeem Notes upon the Holder’s request following a Change in Control Transaction pursuant to Section 1(c); (iv) a material breach by the Company of its representations or warranties in the Exchange Agreement,; (v) any default after any cure period under, or acceleration prior to maturity of, any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company for in excess of $20,000 or for money borrowed the repayment of which is guaranteed by the Company for in excess of $20,000, whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or shall be created hereafter; (vi) any failure of the Company to timely satisfy its “filing” obligations under the rules and guidelines issued by OTC Markets News Service, OTC Markets.com and their affiliates; (vii) any failure of the Company to issue all of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock due the Holder upon conversion of this Note or failure to have sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s Common Stock available for any said conversion; (viii) any trading suspension imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 12(j) or 12(k) of the 1934 Act; or (ix) if the Company is subject to any Bankruptcy Event.

 

(k) Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Note, the Holder may declare all of the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, including any interest due thereon, to be due and payable immediately, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising from events described in Section 2(j), this Note shall become due and payable without further action or notice and, in addition, if an Event of Default arises under (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (vii) of Section 2(j) of this Agreement, then the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per day (for each day during which an Event of Default exists) shall be added to the principal of the First Exchange Note. In the event of such acceleration, the amount due and owing to the Holder shall be the greater of (1) 100% of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes held by the Holder (plus all accrued and unpaid interest, if any) and (2) the product of (A) the highest closing price for the five (5) Trading days immediately preceding the Holder’s acceleration and (B) the Conversion Ratio. In either case the Company shall pay interest on such amount in cash at the Default Rate to the Holder if such amount is not paid within seven (7) calendar days of Holder’s request. The remedies under this Note shall be cumulative.

 

 

(k) Payment of Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all reasonable charges and expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in successfully enforcing this Note and/or collecting any amount due under this Note.

 

(l) Savings Clause. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In no event shall the amount of interest paid hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof allowable by applicable law. If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the excess collected shall be applied to reduce the principal debt. If the interest actually collected hereunder is still in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the interest rate shall be reduced so as not to exceed the maximum allowable under law.

 

(m) Amendment. Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.

The Holder shall notify the Company of any such assignment or transfer promptly. This Note shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and permitted assigns.

 

(o) No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy or power hereby granted to the Holder or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Holder from time to time.
