(c) If the Maturity Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), the payment due on such Maturity Date will be due and payable on the immediately preceding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Maturity Date. “Business Day” means any day which is not a Saturday or Sunday and is not a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or obligated to close in the City of Brentwood, Tennessee.

 

(d) The Company may, at its option, prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note, without payment of any premium or penalty.

 

(e) Payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made by check sent to the Holder’s address set forth above or to such other address as the Holder may designate for such purpose from time to time by written notice to the Company, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

 

(f) The obligations to make the payments provided for in this Note are absolute and unconditional and not subject to any defense, set-off, counterclaim, rescission, recoupment or adjustment whatsoever. The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect any amount called for hereunder, and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereon, regardless of and without any notice, diligence, act or omission with respect to the collection of any amount called for hereunder.

 

 

 

 

2. No Collateral.

 

The payment of this Note and the Company’s obligations hereunder are not secured by any collateral. The Holder hereof is an unsecured creditor of the Company.

 

3. Remedies upon Default.

 

Upon the failure of the Company to make any payment when due to the Holder hereunder, which failure shall not be cured within ten (10) Business Days following the date that such payment is due, the Holder, by notice in writing given to the Company, may declare the entire principal amount then outstanding of, and the accrued interest on, this Note to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and be due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Company.

 

4. Transfer.

 

(a) Any Notes issued upon the transfer of this Note shall be numbered and shall be registered in a Note Register as they are issued. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Note on the Note Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Note on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Notes which are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration or transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith. This Note shall be transferable only on the books of the Company upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by the Holder’s duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative, duly authenticated evidence of his, her or its authority shall be produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Note or Notes to the person entitled thereto. This Note may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another Note, or other Notes of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate a like principal amount, upon surrender hereof to the Company or its duly authorized agent.

 

(b) The Holder acknowledges that it has been advised by the Company that this Note has not been registered under the Act, that the Note is being or has been issued on the basis of the statutory exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or both, relating to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and that the Company’s reliance thereon is based in part upon the representations made by the original Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Holder acknowledges that such Holder has been informed by the Company of, or is otherwise familiar with, the nature of the limitations imposed by the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder on the transfer of securities. In particular, the Holder agrees that no sale, assignment or transfer of the Note shall be valid or effective, and the Company shall not be required to give any effect to any such sale, assignment or transfer (collectively, “Transfer”), unless (i) the Transfer of the Note is registered under the Act, it being understood that the Note is not currently registered for sale and that the Company has no obligation or intention to so register the Notes, or (ii) the Transfer is exempt from registration under the Act and the Holder delivers an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and counsel for the Company that the Transfer is so exempt, and, in either case, that the Transfer is not restricted by applicable state securities laws.
