(ii) the Company shall fail to materially perform any covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company under this Note (other than for non-payment) and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of ten (10) business days after notice from the Holder of such failure; or



(iii) the Company shall (1) become insolvent; (2) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature; (3) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; or (4) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for it or for a substantial part of its property or business; or

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire indebtedness with accrued interest thereon due under this Note shall, at the option of the Holder, be immediately due and payable without notice. Failure to exercise such option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent Event of Default.
 
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, this Note shall retroactively bear interest at the rate of twenty four percent (24%) per annum from the issue date of the Note. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and on each 30-day anniversary thereof the Company shall pay to the Holder $20,000 in cash to pay down sums owed on this Note.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against the Company, or if any of the Pledged Stock (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) should become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Holder shall be entitled to, among other relief to which the Holder may be entitled under this Note and any other agreement to which the Company and the Holder are parties (collectively, “Loan Documents”) and/or applicable law, an order from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
