Inasmuch as the Principal was incurred as a result of the performance of certain legal services performed by Payee, Maker hereby acknowledges that such services were performed and indebtedness incurred pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Letter and Informed Consent, respectively.

 

1.                  Payment of Principal and Interest.

The Unpaid Balance of this Note is payable either in full or in part until paid in full, as the case may be, without demand and in immediately available funds not later than the earlier to occur of either a Significant Transaction or the 1st day of January 2021 (either such date, the “Maturity Date”); provided, however, that upon and coincident with any one of the events described below, Maker shall make interim payments against (but not in excess of) the Unpaid Balance on this Note in accordance herewith, with each of the following installment obligations constituting an obligation for payment separate and independent from any other payment obligation hereunder:

Upon and coincident with the date on which Maker shall close on the sale, whether directly or indirectly (e.g., the sale of a subsidiary, whether by sale of such subsidiary’s stock or other ownership interest therein or all or part of any assets thereof), of any division or other line of business maintained or operated by it (a “Line of Business”), Maker shall either cause to be paid directly to Holder from the proceeds paid at any such closing or pay to Holder upon and coincident therewith, at the election of Holder, the greater of two percent (2%) of the gross sales price thereof or the amount of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000); or

 

(ii)              Qualified Financing. Upon and coincident with the date on which Maker closes on a Qualified Financing, Maker shall either cause to be paid directly to Holder from the proceeds paid at any such closing or pay to Holder upon and coincident therewith, at the election of Holder, an amount equal to (A) two percent (2%) of gross proceeds up to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) paid or otherwise made available to Maker from any such Qualified Financing; (B) ten percent (10%) of gross proceeds in excess of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), but less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) paid or otherwise made available to Maker from any such Qualified Financing; and (C) the remaining note balance if the gross proceeds exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) from any such Qualified Financing.

 

(b)               Interest. Commencing with the Issue Date and continuing through and including the date on which this Note is paid or otherwise discharged in full, the unpaid Principal amount of this Note shall bear simple interest at the rate of Five and One-Quarter Percent (5.25%) per annum until paid in full, computed on the basis of a year of 360 days.

 

(c)               Tender. All payments of the Unpaid Balance shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America and shall be made to Holder via wire transfer to an account designated by Holder or, if no account is so designated, at Holder’s address or at such other place as Holder may designate to Maker in writing in accordance with Section 12 of this Note.

Maker shall notify Holder in writing (a)(i) thirty (30) days in advance of any offer to sale or sale of a Line of Business, Qualified Financing or Significant Transaction; (ii) coincident with either any notice delivered to or received from Dr. Werner or the occurrence of any event relating to Dr. Werner’ termination as Maker’s President or CEO, and (b) provide Holder with any and all documents relating thereto within 48 hours of being requested by Holder. Additionally, Maker shall deliver to Holder any and all annual, quarterly and monthly financial statements, budgets and other financial information reasonably requested by Holder, including, without limitation, “use of proceeds” from the sale of any Line of Business, Qualified Financing or Significant Transaction. Commencing with the date on which Dr. Werner is no longer Maker’s president and CEO or this Note otherwise is in default, Maker hereby grants Holder board observation rights, pursuant to which Maker shall deliver to Holder a copy of any and all notices of its board meetings (including, without limitation, the calling of any such meetings) coincident with the delivery thereof to its board members and attend the same, either in person or via conference call, in the capacity of an observer and will permit Holder or its authorized representative to visit and inspect the properties of Maker, including its corporate and financial records, and to discuss its business and finances with its officers, during normal business hours following reasonable notice and as often as may be reasonably requested.
