For value received, Maker promises to pay to Holder at __________________________________, or at such other place as Holder may designate in writing, in currently available funds of US dollars, the principal amount of $1,500,000. Maker’s obligation under this Note shall accrue simple interest at the rate of 6.0% per year from the date hereof until paid in full.

3.      Prepayment. Maker has the right to prepay this Note.

 

 

4.      Representations and Warranties of Maker. Maker hereby represents and warrants the following to Holder:

 

  

 

 

a.       Maker and those executing this Note on its behalf have the full right, power, and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Obligations under this Note, which are not prohibited or restricted under the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Maker. This Note has been duly executed and delivered by an authorized officer of Maker and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Maker enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

b.      The execution of this Note and Maker’s compliance with the terms, conditions and provisions hereof does not conflict with or violate any provision of any agreement, contract, lease, deed of trust, indenture, or instrument to which Maker is a party or by which Maker is bound, or constitute a default thereunder or result in the imposition of any lien, charge, encumbrance, claim or security interest of any nature whatsoever upon any of the Collateral.

 

c.       The security interest granted hereby in and to the Collateral constitutes a present, valid, binding and enforceable security interest as collateral security for the Obligations, and, except as to leased equipment or purchase-money encumbrances existing as of the date of this Note as expressly disclosed to Holder in writing, such interests, upon perfection, will be senior and prior to any liens, encumbrances, charges, title defects, interests and rights of any others with respect to such Collateral.

 

d.      The security interest granted hereby shall be a first priority lien on the Collateral and no prior or superior liens, security interests or encumbrances exist with respect to any part of the Collateral.

 

5.      Representations and Covenants of the Holder. The Maker has issued this Note in reliance upon the following representations and covenants of the Holder:

 

a.       Investment Purpose. This Note and any common stock which may be issued as payment hereunder are acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Holder has no present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the same except pursuant to a registration or exemption.

 

b.      Private Issue. The Holder understands (i) that this Note and any common stock which may be issued as payment hereunder are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) or qualified under applicable state securities laws, and (ii) that the Maker is relying on an exemption from registration predicated on the representations set forth in this Section 8.

 

c.       Financial Risk. The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment.

 

d.      Risk of No Registration. The Holder understands that if the Maker does not register with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), or file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act, or if a registration statement covering the securities under the 1933 Act is not in effect when it desires to sell any of the common stock issued as payment hereunder, it may be required to hold such securities for an indefinite period. The Holder also understands that any sale of this Note or any sale of common stock in the Maker which might be made by Holder in reliance upon Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule.
