All unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable upon demand by the Holder six (6) months from the date of this Note (the “Due Date”). With Holder’s prior written consent, this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty at any time prior to the Due Date.
  
 The following is a statement of the rights of Holder and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which Holder, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:
  
 1. Interest. Accrued interest on this Note shall be payable on the Due Date.
  
 2. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:
  
 (a) Failure to Pay. The Company shall fail to pay, within five (5) days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s written notice of such failure to pay, any outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Due Date; or
  
 (b) Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. The Company shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors, (iii) be dissolved or liquidated, (iv) commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or (v) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or
  
 (c) Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.
