The total principal balance $105,000 shall accrue simple interest (no compounding) of 18.2% per annum and the principal and interest shall be repaid by the Maker to the Payee in accordance with Section 1.5 of the SLRP Agreement. Unless stated otherwise in the SLRP Agreement or demanded earlier by the Payee in accordance with Section 1.6 thereof, the aforementioned payments shall continue to be made, without interruption or delay, by the Maker to the Payee until the Maturity Date, as defined in the SLRP Agreement. After the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise, or in case of an Event of Default, interest on the unpaid principal balance shall be at the Default Rate, as defined below.
Maker has the right to prepay this Note in whole or in part before the Maturity Date or demand thereon, without penalty or premium but subject to the prorated total due for the interest. In such a case, Maker’s obligations under Section 7 of the SLRP Agreement shall continue to remain enforceable by the Payee against the Maker until fully satisfied. Payee has the right to demand payment on this Note in whole or in part before Maturity or demand thereon, without penalty or premium but subject to the prorated total due for the interest.
Payments of principal and interest shall be made by check to Payee at the address listed above, or, in Payee’s sole discretion, by wire transfer to an account designated by Payee, included in the SLRP Agreement as Addendum C. All payments will be applied in the following order: first, in the Event of Default, to any costs and expenses incurred by Payee, including reasonable attorney’s fees, second, to the payment of accrued interest and, finally, to the principal balance hereof.
Time is of the essence on this Promissory Note. In the event that: (a) Maker fails to make any payment of principal or interest when due, including when Payee exercises his right under Section 1.6 of the SLRP Agreement, or Maker fails to satisfy its obligations under Section 7 of the SLRP Agreement and such default is not cured within ten (10) calendar days thereafter; (b) Maker is insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature; (c) Maker makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a petition of bankruptcy, receives or requests any trustee for a substantial part of its assets, or commences any proceeding under any bankruptcy reorganization, rearrangement, readjustment, or debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, or if there is filed any such petition or application, or any such proceeding is commenced against Maker; or (d) the Maker shall breach any term or provision of the SLRP Agreement which shall include any “Event of Default” as defined in such SLRP Agreement (each of which shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder), the entire unpaid principal balance hereof, and all interest then accrued and unpaid shall accelerate and immediately become due and payable, without notice or demand together with any and all payment obligations under Section 7 of the SLRP Agreement. Upon any Event of Default, any unpaid portion of the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest due under this Promissory Note shall bear interest from the date of such Event of Default and until all obligations hereunder are paid in full at the rate of twenty four percent (24%) per annum or the maximum interest rate permitted by law, whichever is greater (the “Default Rate”).
All agreements between Maker and Payee, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency shall the interest contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Payee exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, under any circumstances whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Payee in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Payee shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. Furthermore, Maker and Payee acknowledge and agree that the obligations of Maker under Section 7 of the SLRP Agreement are separate and distinct from the principal and interest repayment obligations described herein and in Section 1 of the SLRP Agreement and in no instance shall the obligations under Section 7 be interpreted or construed to be a part of any principal and interest obligations under Section 1. Maker and Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify the Payee, or any holder of this Note, against and hold it harmless from any costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and court costs, incurred by the Payee, or any holder of this Note, in connection with the enforcement of the terms hereof.
If this Note becomes due or payable on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday under the laws of the State of New York, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding business day. Presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest are hereby waived.
No delay on the part of Payee, or any holder hereof, in exercising any power or rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any power or rights. Any demand or notice hereunder to Maker shall be deemed duly given or made (a) when sent, if given by facsimile, telecopier or electronic mail, (b) when delivered, if given by personal delivery, (c) one business day after deposit with a recognized express overnight courier, or (d) three business days after deposit in the United States mail, certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to Maker at its address or facsimile number set forth above or such other address or facsimile number as may be hereafter designated in writing by Maker to Payee. If any provision of this Promissory Note is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Promissory Note are not affected or impaired in any way, and (b) the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to agree to another provision (instead of the provision held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) that is valid, legal and enforceable and carries out the parties’ intentions to the greatest lawful extent under this Promissory Note.
IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS NOTE AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

9. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Party may declare all Obligations secured hereby immediately due and payable and shall have, in addition to any remedies provided herein or by any applicable law or in equity, all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC. The Secured Party’s remedies include, but are not limited to, to the extent permitted by law, the right to (a) peaceably by its own means or with judicial assistance enter the Debtor’s premises and take possession of the Collateral without prior notice to the Debtor or the opportunity for a hearing, (b) render the Collateral unusable, (c) dispose of the Collateral on the Debtor’s premises, (d) require the Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at a place designated by the Secured Party, or (e) require any receivables from the Collateral to be directed to the account designated by the Secured Party. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Secured Party will give the Debtor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirements of commercially reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is sent to the Debtor at least five (5) days before the time of the intended sale or disposition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like shall include the Secured Party’s reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses, incurred or expended by the Secured Party to enforce any payment due it under this Agreement either as against the Debtor, or in the prosecution or defense of any action, or concerning any matter growing out of or connection with the subject matter of this Agreement and the Collateral pledged hereunder. The Debtor waives all relief from all appraisement or exemption laws now in force or hereafter enacted.
10. Payment of Expenses. At its option, the Secured Party may, but is not required to: discharge taxes, liens, security interests or such other encumbrances as may attach to the Collateral; pay for required insurance on the Collateral; and pay for the maintenance, appraisal or reappraisal, and preservation of the Collateral, as determined by the Secured Party to be necessary. The Debtor will reimburse the Secured Party on demand for any payment so made or any expense incurred by the Secured Party pursuant to the foregoing authorization, and the Collateral also will secure any advances or payments so made or expenses so incurred by the Secured Party.

12. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission on the Secured Party’s part to exercise any right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right or power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will the Secured Party’s action or inaction impair any such right or power. The Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which the Secured Party may have under other agreements, at law or in equity.
13. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
14. Changes in Writing. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Debtor therefrom will be effective unless made in a writing signed by the Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Debtor in any case will entitle the Debtor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.
15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. Any party so executing this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of the counterpart executed by facsimile transmission.
17. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Debtor and the Secured Party and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Debtor may not assign this Agreement in whole or in part without the Secured Party’s prior written consent and the Secured Party at any time may assign this Agreement in whole or in part.
18. Interpretation. In this Agreement, unless the Secured Party and the Debtor otherwise agree in writing, the singular includes the plural and the plural the singular; words importing any gender include the other genders; references to statutes are to be construed as including all statutory provisions consolidating, amending or replacing the statute referred to; the word “or” shall be deemed to include “and/or”, the words “including”, “includes” and “include” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; references to articles, sections (or subdivisions of sections) or exhibits are to those of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Section headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
19. Governing Law. IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. DEBTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, CITY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE SECURED PARTY AND DEBTOR PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTE OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTE, PROVIDED, THAT DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK COUNTY, CITY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK, AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE SECURED PARTY FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE SECURED PARTY. THE DEBTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO DEBTOR AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11 HEREOF AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.
20. Waiver of Jury Trial. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN THE SECURED PARTY AND THE DEBTOR ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO. EACH PARTY HEREBY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF A PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 20.
