In the event Maker or any other entity in the consolidated group of Maker (including parent entity of Maker or direct or indirect subsidiary of Maker or such parent entity) consummates any capital reorganization, consolidation, joint venture, spin off, merger or any other business combination or restructuring of any nature whatsoever (a “Corporate Event”), the entire principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder shall be accelerated and become payable by Maker to Holder on the date of consummation of such Corporate Event.

5. Use of Proceeds. The entire principal amount under this Note shall be used for working capital, operations, acquisitions, investments or any other purposes of Maker as determined by Maker.

 

6. Severability. The invalidity of any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses, sections or subsections contained in this Note shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining portions of this Note or any part hereof, all of which are inserted conditionally on their being valid in law, and, in the event that any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses, sections or subsections contained in this Note shall be declared invalid, this Note shall be construed as if such invalid word or words, phrase or phrases, sentence or sentences, clause or clauses, section or sections, or subsection or subsections had not been inserted.
