Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Sections 2.1(a)(i) through a(ii) hereof, the Holder shall have the right, at such Holders option, to require the Maker to prepay in cash all or a portion of this Note at a price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note being prepaid plus all accrued and unpaid interest applicable at the time of such request. Nothing in this Section 3.1(a) shall limit the Holders rights under Section 2.2 hereof.
(b) Prepayment Upon Major Transaction. In addition to all other rights of the Holder contained herein, simultaneous with the occurrence of a Major Transaction (as defined below), the Maker shall prepay in cash all of the Holders Notes at a price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note being prepaid plus all accrued and unpaid interest (the Major Transaction Prepayment Price).
(c) Major Transaction. A Major Transaction shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:
(i) the merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in one or a series of related transactions with or into another entity (except in connection with a merger involving the Company solely for the purpose, and with the sole effect, of reorganizing the Company under the laws of another jurisdiction; provided that the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or similar charter or organizational documents) of the surviving entity are substantively identical to those of the Company and do not otherwise adversely impair the rights of the Purchaser) where the Company is not the surviving entity;
(ii) the sale, transfer, lease, or other disposition of 50% or more of the consolidated assets of the Maker (as shown on the most recent financial statements of the Maker) in any single transaction or series of related transactions (other than the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business), or the liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization or reorganization in any form of transaction, or acquisition of all or substantially all of the capital stock or assets of another business or entity to the extent not otherwise permitted by the Purchase Agreement; or
(iii) the equity investment by any third party in the Maker pursuant to a transaction in which the Maker places shares of its common stock or securities convertible into common stock in consideration of gross proceeds paid into the Company of at least $10 million; provided that in the event of such investment the Holder shall be entitled to prepayment under Section 3.1(b) only to the extent to which the gross proceeds of such investment exceed $10 million; provided further that any such prepayment shall be allocated pro rata among all Notes then outstanding.
(d) Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction. No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Major Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Major Transaction, the Maker shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (Notice of Major Transaction) to the Holder of this Note. At any time after receipt of a Notice of Major Transaction (or, in the event a Notice of Major Transaction is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Major Transaction, at any time within ten (10) days prior to a Major Transaction), the Holder of this Note may require the Maker to prepay, effective concurrently with the consummation of such Major Transaction, all or any portion of this Note then outstanding by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction) to the Maker, which Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction shall indicate (i) the principal amount of this Note that the Holder is electing to have prepaid and (ii) the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.1(b) above.

(i) Payment of Prepayment Price. Upon the Makers receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction from the Holder, the Maker shall immediately notify the Holder by facsimile of the Makers receipt of such Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction and the Holder which has sent such a notice shall promptly submit to the Maker the Holders certificates representing this Note which the Holder has elected to have prepaid. The Maker shall deliver the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment Price immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction; provided that the Holders original Note shall have been so delivered to the Maker. If the Maker shall fail to prepay all of the Notes submitted for prepayment (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy such holder of the Notes may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, the applicable Prepayment Price payable in respect of such Notes not prepaid shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) or the maximum rate permitted by law, if less, until paid in full. Until the Maker pays such unpaid applicable Prepayment Price in full to a holder of the Notes submitted for prepayment, such holder shall have the option (the Void Optional Prepayment Option) to, in lieu of prepayment, require the Maker to promptly return to such holder(s) all of the Notes that were submitted for prepayment by such holder(s) under this Section 3.1 and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Maker via facsimile (the Void Optional Prepayment Notice). Upon the Makers receipt of such Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) and prior to payment of the full applicable Prepayment Price to such holder, (i) the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction shall be null and void with respect to those Notes submitted for prepayment and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid, (ii) the Maker shall immediately return any Notes submitted to the Maker by each holder for prepayment under this Section 3.1(j) and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid. A holders delivery of a Void Optional Prepayment Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Makers obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. Payments provided for in this Section 3.1 shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with a Major Transaction.
Section 3.2 No Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Maker.
