Prepayment. A. Except as required pursuant to SECTION 1.B of this Note (which SECTION 1.B requires in certain circumstances mandatory pre-payments of this Note), this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, without penalty. If prepayment is for less than all of the Principal Amount on all of the Notes, payment shall be pro-rata among the Notes. In such a case, the dollar amount being paid to each Noteholder shall equal the product of (i) the aggregate dollar amount being paid by the Company to prepay less than all of the Notes, and (ii) a fraction of which (x) the denominator is the Principal Amount of all of the Notes outstanding, and (y) the numerator being the Principal Amount of the particular Note. B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein or elsewhere, in the event that prior to the Maturity Date, the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined below) sells, leases, transfers or otherwise disposes (or a series of related sales, leases, transfers and/or dispositions), of shares of capital stock of a subsidiary, property or other assets by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than sales of its products and/or services in the ordinary course of their business as an FBO (as defined in the PPM) (an "ASSET SALE"), the Company shall use all of the gross proceeds from each Asset Sale to repay the Principal Amount and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes. Such payments shall be made no later than three (3) Business Days, (as defined below), following the closing date of each Asset Sale. If insufficient funds are available from any Asset Sale to pay all outstanding Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the Notes, then all gross proceeds from the Asset Sale shall be used to pre-pay the Principal Amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes on a pro-rata basis. The dollar amount to be paid to each Noteholder shall equal the product of (i) the gross proceeds from the Asset Sale, and (ii) a fraction of which (x) the numerator is the Principal Amount of such Noteholders' Note, and (y) the denominator is the aggregate Principal Amount of all then outstanding Notes. 2. Computation of Interest. A. Base Interest Rate. Subject to SECTIONS 2.B and SECTION 2.C below, the outstanding Principal Amount shall bear interest at the rate of ten (10%) percent per annum payable quarterly in arrears. B. Penalty Interest. In the event this Note is not repaid on the Maturity Date, the rate of interest applicable to the unpaid Principal Amount shall be adjusted to eighteen (18%) percent per annum from the date of default until repayment; provided, that in no event shall the interest rate exceed the Maximum Rate provided in SECTION 2.C below. C. Maximum Rate. In the event that it is determined that, under the laws relating to usury applicable to the Company or the indebtedness evidenced by this Note ("APPLICABLE USURY LAWS"), the interest charges and fees payable by the Company in connection herewith or in connection with any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith cause the effective interest rate applicable to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note to exceed the maximum rate allowed by law (the "MAXIMUM RATE"), then such interest shall be recalculated for the period in question and any excess over the Maximum Rate paid with respect to such period shall be credited, without further agreement or notice, to the Principal Amount outstanding hereunder to reduce said balance by such amount with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Payee had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment. All such deemed prepayments shall be applied to the principal balance payable at maturity. In no event shall any agreed-to or actual exaction as consideration for this Note exceed the limits imposed or provided by Applicable Usury Laws in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident applicable to the use or detention of money or to forbearance in seeking its collection in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident.
