This Promissory Note is the Note referred to in and is executed and delivered in connection with that certain Pledge Agreement dated as of even date herewith and executed by Borrower in favor of Lender (as the same may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented or restated, the “Pledge Agreement”). Additional rights of Lender are set forth in the Pledge Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Pledge Agreement.

2. Interest Rate. Borrower further promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full, which interest shall be payable at the rate of twenty-two and four tenths percent (22.4%) per annum or the maximum rate permissible by law (which under the laws of the State of California shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans), whichever is less (the “Interest Rate”). Interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 below, all amounts owing thereunder shall bear interest at two percent (2%) over the Interest Rate.
3. Place of Payment. All amounts payable hereunder shall be payable at the office of Lender, 101 Second Street, Suite 1500, San Francisco, CA 94105, unless another place of payment shall be specified in writing by Lender.
4. Application of Payments. Payment on this Note shall be applied first to accrued interest, and thereafter to the outstanding principal balance hereof.
5. Secured Note. The full amount of this Note is secured by the Pledged Securities identified and described as security therefor in the Pledge Agreement executed by and delivered by Borrower to Lender.

6. Default. Each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” hereunder:

(b) Borrower files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing;

(d) Failure on the part of Borrower duly to observe or perform any covenants or agreements contained in the Pledge Agreement;
(e) Any representation, warranty, certification or statement made by Borrower in the Pledge Agreement proving to have been incorrect in any material respect when made; or
(f) A default shall exist under any agreement of Borrower which consists of the failure to pay any indebtedness at maturity or which results in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of indebtedness of Borrower; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to Borrower’s existing default under the Calico bridge.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, all unpaid principal, accrued interest and other amounts owing hereunder shall, at the option of Lender, and, in the case of an Event of Default pursuant to (b) or (c) above, automatically, be immediately due, payable and collectible by Lender pursuant to applicable law.
