This Note is issued by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Asset Purchase Agreement between Payee and the Company, dated effective even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

The following is a statement of the rights of Payee and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which Payee, by acceptance of this Note, agrees:

 

1.                                      Payments.

 

(a)                                 Principal and Interest. This Note shall bear interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum. The principal and interest of this Note shall be due and payable in sixty (60) monthly installments in the amount of $32,081.10 each, payable on the      day of each month beginning on October     , 2013 and with any remaining unpaid principal and interest being due on the fifth anniversary (the “Maturity Date”) of the date hereof (the “Issuance Date”).

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or in the Purchase Agreement, this Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time, without premium or penalty.

 

2.                                      Subordination.

 

(a)                                 Subordination to Senior Indebtedness. The Company covenants and agrees, and Payee covenants and agrees, expressly for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, that the cash payment of the principal of, and interest on, this Note and any other amounts pursuant to this Note or the Purchase Agreement are hereby expressly subordinate and junior to the prior payment and satisfaction in full of all Senior Indebtedness as set forth in this Section 2.

 

(b)                                 Suspension of Payments. Upon any dissolution, winding-up, voluntary or involuntary liquidation or reorganization of the Company (including any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership proceeding, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshaling of assets and liabilities of the Company pursuant to any debtor relief laws), the Company shall not pay, and Payee shall not be entitled to receive, any additional amount in respect of the principal of, interest on or any other amounts payable pursuant to this Note or the Purchase Agreement unless and until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid and satisfied in full or otherwise completely discharged.

 

(c)                                  Payments to Senior Indebtedness. Upon any dissolution, winding up, voluntary or involuntary liquidation or reorganization of the Company, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company, whether in cash, property or securities, which Payee would be entitled to receive but for the provisions hereof shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representatives, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to pay the Senior Indebtedness in full after giving effect to any

concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of Senior Indebtedness. This Section 2(c) defines the relative rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and Payee.

 

(d)                                 Senior Indebtedness Default. No payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, or interest on, this Note if (i) a Senior Indebtedness Default shall have occurred and shall not have been cured or waived, (ii) a payment by the Company to or for the benefit of Payee could reasonably be expected to result, immediately after giving effect thereto, in a Senior Indebtedness Default, or (iii) full payment of all amounts then due for principal of, and interest on, Senior Indebtedness shall not then have been made or duly provided for. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make any payment prohibited by the preceding sentence, then, unless and until any such Senior Indebtedness Default shall have been cured or waived or shall cease to exist, such payment shall be deemed to be the property of the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay in full all Senior Indebtedness then due, after giving effect to any concurrent payment to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. During the existence of one or more of the circumstances described in (i), (ii), or (iii) above, the Company not making cash payments to Payee shall not be considered a default or breach of the Company’s Obligations to Payee, and Payee shall not have any right to institute any legal proceedings to enforce any payment of principal or interest then due on this Note or accelerate the Obligations hereunder.

 

(e)                                  Subordination Agreements. Payee agrees to execute and deliver from time to time after the Issuance Date for the benefit of any lender of the Company holding Senior Indebtedness any Subordination Agreement requested by such lender subordinating this Note and all of the Company’s Obligations hereunder to Senior Indebtedness held by such lender. In addition, Payee irrevocably appoints each executive officer of the Company as Payee’s attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute and deliver any and all Subordination Agreements such attorney-in-fact, in his or her sole discretion, determines are reasonably necessary in order to subordinate this Note and all Obligations hereunder to any Senior Indebtedness; provided, however, Payee shall be given a reasonable opportunity to first execute and deliver such documents and instruments prior to the execution and delivery by an executive officer of the Company. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this section is coupled with an interest and will be irrevocable until this Note is paid in full.

 

3.                                      Events of Default. Subject to the terms of Section 2 of this Note, each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:

 

(a)                                 Failure to Pay. The Company shall fail to pay any principal or interest payment under this Note on the date due and such payment shall not have been made within fifteen (15) business days of the Company’s receipt of written notice from or on behalf of Payee of such failure to pay; or

 

(b)                                 Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. The Company shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors, (iv) be dissolved or liquidated, (v) commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or

 

(c)                                  Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company, or of all or a substantial part of the property of the Company, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company, or the debts of the Company under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and an order for relief entered, and such proceeding shall not be dismissed or discharged within 90 days of commencement.
