FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Innolog Holdings Corporation (“IHC”) and Innovative Logistics Techniques, Inc. (“Innolog”) (together the “Maker”), jointly and severally promise to pay to the Kay M. Gumbinner Trust (the “Holder”), at such place as the Holder may later designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS ($100,00.00) (“Principal Amount”) in accordance with this promissory note (the “Note”) under the terms set forth herein. All of the obligations directly or indirectly due to Holder hereunder and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation principal, interest, fees, past due fees, settlement amounts, purchase prices, costs and expenses, are collectively referred to as the “Obligations.”

 

Maker represents, warrants and covenants that the net proceeds of this loan shall be used solely to pay the payroll, including payroll taxes for the employees of Maker which are currently due and payable.

Furthermore, this Note shall be repaid as a first priority from any and all amounts received by Maker from ANY accounts receivable received by any of Maker subject only to normal operating expenses and regular current operating accounts payables until this Note is repaid in full. No payments are to be made to any other notes or government agencies prior to the repayment of this Note.

 

Maker shall have the right to prepay at any time and from time to time, in advance of maturity, all or part of the principal amount of this Note, along with the interest and Fee and other amounts described hereunder. Each payment shall be applied first to the principal balance due.

 

In addition, on or before the Maturity Date, Maker shall pay Holder One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) which represents a settlement amount of less than the approximately $127,292 actual settlement amount and loan amounts currently outstanding under the Forbearance Agreement dated September 21, 2011 and several subsequent promissory notes.

 

Maker shall use proceeds of the Collateral to pay all amounts owed to BDR Avanti Finance, LLC.

 

Maker represents and warrants that the statements in the email dated September 24, 2011 1:30AM from Robert Gumbinner as confirmed and agreed by Mr. Danielczyk in an email dated September 24, 2011 10:52AM are true and accurate and the terms of such email are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof as representations, warranties and covenants with respect to this Note.

Maker and Guarantor (i) hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court sitting in the Northern District of Virginia and the courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia located in Fairfax County for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note and (ii) hereby waive, and agree not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.

(d)          Maker and Guarantor, and all others that may become liable for all or any part of the obligations evidenced by this Note, hereby waive presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest and all other demands’ and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note, and do hereby consent to any number of renewals of extensions of the time or payment hereof and agree that any such renewals or extensions may be made without notice to any such persons and without affecting their liability herein and do further consent to the release of any person liable hereon, all without affecting the liability of the other persons, firms or Maker or Guarantor liable for the payment of this Note, AND DO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.

(j)          Maker acknowledges the position of Fred Gumbinner as a trustee and beneficiary of Holder and as the son of Robert Gumbinner, the primary trustee and beneficiary of Maker and as a consultant and legal counsel for Maker. Maker also acknowledges that Maker has repeatedly requested the assistance and involvement of Fred Gumbinner in procuring loans from Holder and in negotiating and drafting promissory notes, forbearance agreements and other documents related thereto. Maker specifically now and forever with full and complete knowledge, corporate authority and consent, waives any conflict of interest by or potential conflict of interest of Fred Gumbinner and hereby indemnifies and holds him harmless against any losses, claims or other actions of any kind.

 

(j)          Maker and Guarantor understand, acknowledge and agree that the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder shall cause acceleration of not only this Note and the Obligations hereunder, but also acceleration of the Forbearance Agreement and additional late fees and obligations thereunder.
