This Promissory Note is issued as of the date set forth above (the “Original Issue Date”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among Holder, Implant, General & Cosmetic Dentistry of Tampa Bay, P.A., a Florida corporation (“IGCD”), Sebring Management FL, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“SMFL”) and Maker. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1.          Interest; Repayment; Form of Payments.

 

(a)          The outstanding Principal Amount of this Note shall bear interest at a rate equal to 6.25% per annum, which interest shall be computed on a 365-day year basis.

 

(b)          Beginning on the date that is one calendar month from the date of this Note and on each one month anniversary thereafter (i.e. monthly) Maker shall make a total of twelve (12) equal principal and interest payments of $8,618.14.

 

(c)          Unless otherwise specified, all payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the address of Holder set forth above, or at such other place as Holder may from time to time designate in writing to Maker. Payment shall be credited first to the accrued interest then due and payable and the remainder applied to the Principal Amount.

 

2.          Prepayment. Maker may prepay all or any portion of the Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest, in whole or in part, without penalty.

 

3.          Events of Default. The term “Event of Default”, wherever used in this Note, shall mean any one of the following events:

 

(a)          any failure to make any payment of principal or interest on this Note on the date it becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise), which failure is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice of such default is sent by Holder;

  

 
 

  

(b)          Maker shall: (i) become insolvent or generally fail to pay, or admit in writing its inability or unwillingness to pay, debts as they become due; (ii) apply for, consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of a trustee, receiver, sequestrator or other custodian for Maker or any property thereof, or make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) in the absence of such application, consent or acquiescence, permit or suffer to exist the appointment of a trustee, receiver, sequestrator or other custodian for Maker or for a substantial part of the property thereof, and such trustee, receiver, sequestrator or other custodian shall not be discharged within 60 days; (iv) permit or suffer to exist the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or other case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, in respect of Maker and, if any such case or proceeding is not commenced by Maker, such case or proceeding shall be consented to or acquiesced in by Maker or shall result in the entry of an order for relief or shall remain for 60 days undismissed; or (v) take any action authorizing, or in furtherance of, any of the foregoing.

 

4.          Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Holder may, at its option, (a) declare the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together will all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder, immediately due and payable, and (b) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to Holder under applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to collect from Maker all sums due under this Note. The remedies of Holder shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise.

 

5.          Cost of Collection.   Maker shall pay all costs of collection, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, on failure to pay any principal or interest when due on this Note. Reasonable attorneys’ fees are defined to include, but not be limited to, all fees and costs incurred in all matters of collection and enforcement, construction and interpretation, before, during and after suit, trial, proceedings and appeals, as well as appearances in and connected with any bankruptcy proceedings or creditors’ reorganization or similar proceedings, or which arise without filing suit.

 

6.          Setoff. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Maker shall have the right to set off against the Principal Amount and the accrued interest thereon any amounts that are or become payable by Holder or its Affiliates to Maker, SMFL or their respective Affiliates, including any such amounts arising under the indemnification provisions of the Purchase Agreement, and such set off shall not constitute an Event of Default or breach of this Note or the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, to the extent that Holder disputes the amount of such set off, at the time payments are otherwise due hereunder Maker shall pay such set off amount to a mutually agreeable third party to be held until Holder and Maker mutually agree upon, or a court of competent jurisdiction directs, the distribution of such set of amount and the distribute(s) thereof.

 

7.          Waivers.    Maker waives protest, demand, presentment and notice of dishonor, notice of the maturity, nonpayment, and all requirements necessary to hold it liable as Maker.

  

 
 

  

8.          Amendment. This Note may be amended or a provision hereof waived only in a writing signed by both Maker and Holder. Failure by Holder, at any time, to exercise any of Holder’s options or rights hereunder or to accelerate the debt upon an Event of Default hereunder, shall not be construed as (i) a novation of this Note; (ii) a waiver of the right of Holder to thereafter insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note; or (iii) a bar to exercise any of Holder’s options or rights at a later date. No waiver of any default or Event of Default hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other default or Event of Default hereunder. A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event. Time is of the essence with regard to this Note. No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise by Holder of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

 

9.          Severability. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision or provisions of this Note as to any Person, entity, or circumstance shall not render that provision or those provisions unenforceable or invalid as to any other provisions or circumstances, and all provisions hereof, in all other respects, shall remain valid and enforceable.

 

10.         Interest Savings Clause. If any interest payment (or other payment which is deemed by law to be interest) due hereunder is determined to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of each interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall instead be deemed a payment of principal and applied against the Principal Amount.

 

11.         Assignment. This Note is not assignable by Holder without Maker’s written consent, which consent may be withheld in Maker’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

12.         Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent to the respective parties at the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with the Purchase Agreement).

Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in Tampa, Florida or the courts of the State of Florida located in Sarasota, Florida, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.
