Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if the 6th day of any month in which a payment is due is not a business day when banks are open in New York, New York, or any other place for payment that the Payee designates, payment will be due on the next business day.

 

For purposes of this Note, a “Qualified Financing” shall mean a transaction or series of transactions completed after the date hereof pursuant to which Maker issues and sells (i) shares of its common stock, preferred stock, or other equity securities, and/or (ii) debt securities or other debt instruments (excluding any credit facility or line of credit primarily for working capital purposes) for an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or more with the principal purpose of raising capital. For purposes of this Note, a “Non-qualified Financing” shall mean a transaction or series of transactions completed after the date hereof pursuant to which Maker issues and sells (i) shares of its common stock, preferred stock, or other equity securities, and/or (ii) debt securities or other debt instruments (excluding any credit facility or line of credit primarily for working capital purposes) for an aggregate amount of less than $10,000,000 with the principal purpose of raising capital.

It is expressly agreed that, unless waived by Payee, an “Event of Default” hereunder shall occur if any payment due under this Note is not made within fifteen (15) days of its respective due date (the “Grace Period”). Any non-payment under this Note may be cured without imposition of any remedy by the Payee within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the Grace Period. If any payment due under this Note shall not have been tendered within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the Grace Period (a “Note Default”), and the Payee provides notice to Maker thereof, the Payee’s sole recourse and remedy in the event of an uncured Note Default shall be to have Maker immediately return to Payee acting on behalf  of the Recipients, that number of Surviving Company Membership Interests that represents three percent (3%) of the total fully-diluted amount of Surviving Company Membership Interests per every $500,000 in respect of which Maker did not cure its Note Default, but (ii) the Recipients of AVNG shall not be obligated to return any of the payments due under this Note previously tendered. Such three percent (3%) shall be pro-rated in respect of any partial payment tendered. For example, if there is an uncured Note Default and their remains an outstanding balance on the Note of $5,000,000, then Maker will return 30% of the Surviving Company Membership Interests to Payee as a result of this paragraph. Without the consent of Payee, on behalf of the Recipients, which consent may be withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned in the sole and absolute discretion of Payee for any reason or for no reason, none of the Surviving Company Membership Interests that had been transferred to Maker in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement (that is, 48% of the Surviving Company Membership Interests) and none of the Equity Consideration that had been transferred to (i) the Payee on behalf of the Recipients in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement or (ii) the Consultants in accordance with the provisions of the Consulting Agreements shall be returned, or cancelled as applicable, to the respective transferor thereof.

 

This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. Any forbearance of Payee in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy. The acceptance by Payee of partial payment of any sum payable hereunder before or after the Maturity Date shall not be a waiver of Payee’s right to either require prompt payment in full of the Note Amount on and after the Maturity Date or otherwise exercise any of Payee’s remedies hereunder or otherwise pursuant to applicable law for failure to make prompt payment.

 

If (A) the Maker or any of its subsidiaries 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 (B) proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Maker, any of its subsidiaries or of all or a substantial part of the Maker’s or its subsidiaries’ property, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Maker or any of its subsidiaries, if any, or the debts thereof under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be dismissed or discharged within 45 days of commencement, then such event(s) shall be an Event of Default hereunder and immediately and without notice, the then outstanding Note Amount shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any such Event of Default, the Payee may exercise any other right, power or remedy granted to Payee by this Note or otherwise permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both. Should the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part thereof be collected at law or in equity, or in bankruptcy, receivership or any other court proceedings (whether at the trial or appellate level), or after an Event of Default should this Note be placed in the hands of attorneys for collection upon default, the Maker agrees to pay on demand, in addition to all amounts due and payable hereon, all costs of collection or attempting to collect this Note, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.

 

All parties to this Note, whether Maker, principal, surety, guarantor, or endorser, hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of dishonor.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, all payments made hereunder shall be applied first to payment of sums payable hereunder other than the Note Amount, and secondly to the balance of the Note Amount.
