All payments under this Note, including payments of principal and interest, shall be in lawful money of the United States of America and paid by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or as otherwise determined by Maker to such account as Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

4. Security Interest and Collateral.

 

(a) To secure the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the obligations and liabilities of Maker to Payee under this Note), Maker, for the purpose of granting to Payee a continuing security interest and lien, hereby collaterally assigns, pledges, delivers and sets over to Payee;

(ii) all of the following rights relating to the equity interests included in clause (1) above, whether arising under the organizational documents of the Issuer or under the applicable laws of such Issuer’s jurisdiction of organization relating to the formation, existence and governance of corporations, limited liability companies or partnerships, as applicable, or otherwise: (i) all economic rights (including all rights to receive dividends and distributions), (ii) all voting rights and rights to consent to any particular action(s) by the applicable Issuer and (iii) all certificates evidencing any of the foregoing described Pledged Collateral (all of the foregoing, the “Related Rights” and, together with the Pledged Collateral, the “Collateral”).

(b) The security interest in the Collateral granted hereby shall be senior in right with all other security interests that have been granted by Maker prior to the date hereof and shall continue in effect to secure all obligations owing to Payee hereunder from time to time incurred or arising unless and until such obligations have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full.

 

(c) All certificates or other instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of Payee pursuant hereto and shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank. At the request of Payee, Maker shall execute and deliver to Payee from time to time all financing statements, amendments, continuation financing statements, assignments, affidavits, reports, notices, letters of authority and all other documents that Payee may reasonably request in form reasonably satisfactory to Payee necessary to establish and maintain a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest in the Collateral as provided herein and the other rights and security contemplated hereby from time to time. Maker hereby authorizes Payee to receive, hold and/or deliver directly to itself, as applicable, any certificates, instruments or stock distributions issued in connection with the Collateral, in each case to be held by Payee as part of the Collateral, subject to the terms hereof. Upon an Event of Default (as defined below), Payee shall have the right to transfer to or to register in the name of Payee or any of its nominees any or all of the Collateral. In addition, Payee shall have the right, at such time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

(d) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and been declared and is continuing, Maker shall have the right to receive and keep all dividends and other distributions payable in respect of the Collateral and to vote all securities constituting part of the Pledged Collateral, and to exercise any other voting rights pertaining to such Collateral, and to give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect thereto, and to exercise all of Maker’s rights as a holder of such securities for all purposes.

 

(e) As additional security for the prompt payment and performance of Maker’s obligations and liabilities under this Note, a related party has granted to Payee a lien and security interest in certain shares of Maker owned by such party pursuant to the terms of a Limited Guaranty and Pledge Agreement of even date herewith (the “Related Party Pledge Agreement”).

 3 

 

 

(d) contemporaneously with the execution hereof, such Maker is delivering to Payee any certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Collateral, accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignments in blank, to be held by Payee, and the pledge and assignment of the Collateral and the grant of a security interest under this Note shall vest in Payee all of Maker’s rights in the Collateral as contemplated hereunder; and

 

(e) to Maker’s knowledge, none of the Pledged Collateral has been issued or otherwise transferred in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other applicable laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject.

(a) One or more of the following events shall constitute an event of default (each, an “Event of Default”):

(iv) Maker shall fail to observe or perform any other obligation to be observed or performed by it under this Note within twenty (20) days after written notice from Payee to perform or observe the obligation, or any representation or warranty made by Maker hereunder shall be false in any material respect as of the date made and such representation or warranty is not cured, if susceptible to cure, within twenty (20) days after written notice from Payee.

 4 

 

 

(c) Without limiting the generality of paragraph (b) above, upon an Event of Default, Payee may, subject to any requirements of applicable law, sell, assign and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral at the time held by Payee, at any private sale or at public auction, with or without demand, advertisement or notice of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or otherwise (all of which are hereby waived, except such notice as is required by applicable law and cannot be waived), for cash or credit or for other property for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as Payee in its sole discretion may determine. Maker hereby waives and releases any and all right or equity of redemption, whether before or after any sale hereunder. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, Maker may bid for and purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption.

 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default occurs under clauses (ii) or (iii) of Section 7(a), all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note, and all other amounts owing under this Note, shall automatically become immediately due and payable without any declaration or notice from Payee.

(e) Maker hereby irrevocably appoints Payee its attorney-in-fact, subject to the terms hereof, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Payee’s option and Payee’s provision of notice to such Maker of its intent to exercise remedies against the Pledged Collateral, (i) to effectuate the transfer of the Pledged Collateral on the books of the Issuer thereof to the name of Payee, for the benefit of Payee and the Lenders, or to the name of Payee’s nominee, designee or transferee; (ii) to endorse and collect checks payable to such Maker representing distributions or other payments on the Pledged Collateral; and (iii) to carry out the terms and provisions hereof. Maker acknowledges and agrees that Payee shall be authorized at any time to provide a copy of this Agreement to any Issuer as evidence that Payee has been given the foregoing power of attorney.

 

8. Private Sale. In the event Payee has elected to enforce the remedies available in Section 7(c), Maker recognizes that Payee may be unable to effect (or to do so only after delay which would adversely affect the value that might be realized from the Collateral) a public sale of all or part of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”), and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.

 

9. Payee Expenses. Maker shall promptly pay all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of Payee (including the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of attorneys for Payee in an amount not to exceed $15,000) in connection with this Note, the Related Party Pledge Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (collectively, the “Loan Transactions”), including without limitation: (a) the documentation, negotiation, and closing of the Loan Transactions, (b) the creation, perfection and maintenance of any liens in favor of Payee pursuant to the Loan Transactions; (c) the exercise and performance by Payee of its rights and remedies with respect to the Loan Transactions, (d) any amendments, modifications, consents and waivers to and/or under any and all documents relating to the Loan Transactions (whether or not such amendments, modifications, consents or waivers are consummated), (e) any litigation, dispute, suit or proceeding arising from the Loan Transactions, and (f) any workout, collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings arising from any of the Loan Transactions (including the costs and expenses of restructuring experts, investment bankers, financial consultants, valuation firms and other professionals and advisors retained by or on behalf of Payee). Any fees, costs and expenses owing by Maker hereunder shall be due and payable within ten (10) business days after written demand therefor.

 

 5 

 

 

10. Indemnification. Maker shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Payee, his successors and assigns, his affiliates, their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (the “Indemnified Parties” and each, an “Indemnified Party”) and hold it harmless from and against any and all claims, debts, liabilities, losses, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), of every nature, character and description which such Indemnified Party may sustain or incur based upon or arising out of any of the Loan Transactions (except any such amounts sustained or incurred solely as the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 10 shall remain operative even after the Maturity Date and shall survive the payment in full of all of the obligations owing hereunder.

 

11. Amendment; Waiver; Remedies. This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of a party hereto but only by an agreement in writing signed by both parties. No failure or delay by Payee in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No remedy conferred hereby shall be exclusive of any other remedy referred to herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

 

12. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Note shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules thereof. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note shall be instituted exclusively in New York Supreme Court, County of New York, or in the United Stated District Court for the Southern District of New York (and any courts in which appeals from such courts may be heard) (the “Specified Courts”). The parties hereto hereby: (i) waive any objection which they may now have or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and (ii) irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the Specified Courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The parties further agree to accept and acknowledge service of any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in the Specified Courts and agree that service of process upon a party mailed by certified mail to such party’s address shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such party in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Note or any obligations hereunder.

 

13. Successors and Assigns. No assignment or transfer of this Note or any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party hereto (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be void. Subject to the foregoing, this Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of Maker and Payee.

14. Severability; Usury Laws. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. The parties further agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Note with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision. This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Maker be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance at a rate which could subject Maker or Payee to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum rate which Maker is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, Maker is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under this Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and interest payable hereunder shall be computed at such maximum rate.

 

15. Continued Effectiveness; Waiver or Delay. This Note shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be limited, impaired or otherwise affected in any way by reason of (a) any delay in making demand on Maker for or delay in enforcing or failure to enforce, performance or payment of Maker’s obligations, (b) any failure, neglect or omission on Payee’s part to perfect any lien upon, protect, exercise rights against, or realize on, any property of Maker or any other party securing the obligations under this Note, (c) any failure to obtain, retain or preserve, or the lack of prior enforcement of, any rights against any person or persons or in any property, (d) the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligations or rights in any Collateral under this Note, (e) the existence or nonexistence of any defenses which may be available to Maker with respect to the obligations under this Note or (f) the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or receivership proceeding or case filed by or against Maker. No failure or delay by Payee in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein and therein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Any reference in this Agreement to the “continuing” nature of any Event of Default shall not be construed as establishing or otherwise indicating that Maker or any other party has the independent right to cure any such Event of Default, but is rather presented merely for convenience should such Event of Default be waived in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

16. Lost, Mutilated or Stolen Note. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Maker of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon the surrender of this Note or cancellation to Maker at its principal office, Maker will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of like tenor containing the same terms as this Note, dated so that there with no loss of interest on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note. Any Note in lieu of which any such new Note has been so executed and delivered by Maker shall not be deemed to be an outstanding Note for any purpose.
