FOR VALUE RECEIVED, as hereinafter set forth and at the times hereinafter stated, The Tube Media Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), whose mailing address is 1451 W. Cypress Creek Road, Suite 300, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33309 promises to pay to the order of Barry Honig (the "Payee"), whose mailing address is ____________________, in funds constituting legal tender of the United States of America, the principal sum of Four Hundred Thousand dollars ($400,000), with interest as set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof.

2. Interest Rate. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from the date of issuance until paid in full at the rate of four percent (4%) per year, calculated on a 365/366 day year, as applicable, provided, however, that upon an Event of Default (as defined below), interest shall accrue as provided in Paragraph 7 hereof.

3.  Payment Terms. Principal and Interest on this Note shall be paid one year from the date hereof (the “Maturity Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payments due hereunder shall be accelerated, in whole or in part, as set forth below: (i) in the event a round of financing of not less than $2.0 million and not more than $2.49 million is closed, whether through Payee or any third party, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, then in such event the Maker shall pay to Payee an amount equal to $320,000, and (ii) in the event a round of financing equal to $2.5 million or greater is closed, whether through Payee or any third party, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, then in such event the Maker shall pay to Payee all sums due under this Note. Maker may prepay all or any part of interest or principal without penalty.

4. Manner and Place of Payment; Holidays. All payments on this Note shall be made in coin or currency which, at the time or times of payment, constitute legal tender for public or private debts in the United States of America. All payments on this Note shall be made to Payee at the address stated above, or at such other address as Payee shall designate in writing. If the prescribed date of payment of any of the principal or interest hereon is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, such payment shall be due on the next succeeding business day.

5. Events of Default and Acceleration. Time is of the essence of this Note. The occurrence of the event shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder: (i) Maker's failure to pay timely any amount due hereunder; (ii) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against Maker and, if instituted against Maker, Maker shall by any action or answer approve of, consent to or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such proceeding or such proceedings shall not be dismissed within ninety (90) calendar days thereafter; or (iii) any breach by Maker, that remains uncured for greater than 5 days after receipt of written notice of same, of any of the terms of this Note (other than payment obligations) or any other agreement between Maker or Payee. If any such Event of Default occurs, Payee may, then or at any time thereafter, without notice (except as may be required by law), and at its option, accelerate maturity and cause the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, with interest, fees and charges accrued hereon, to become immediately due and payable. If Payee waives Payee's right to accelerate maturity as a result of an Event of Default hereunder, either one or more time or repeatedly, nevertheless Payee shall not be deemed to have waived the right to require strict compliance with the terms of this Note thereafter.

 

6. Interest After Event of Default, Acceleration or Maturity. Upon an occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the entire unpaid balance of said principal sum and interest then accrued shall bear interest, while such Event of Default continues both before and after judgment, at twelve percent (12%) per year on the unpaid balance until paid, calculated on a 365/366 day year, as applicable.

7. Application of Payments. All sums paid hereon shall be applied first to the payment of accrued interest due on the unpaid principal balance and the remainder to the reduction of unpaid principal.

8. Attorney's Fees and Expenses. In the event that Payee or other holder of this Note brings suit hereon, or employs an attorney or incurs expenses to compel payment of this Note or any portion of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, or to cure any Event of Default under this Note, whether through suit, probate, insolvency, reorganization, bankruptcy or any other legal or informal proceeding, the Maker and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties agree additionally to pay all reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses thereby incurred by Payee or other holder of this Note.
