3.1.           Restrictions on Transfer.  Holder has been advised that this Note has not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold or otherwise transferred unless it is registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available.  Holder is aware that Borrower is under no obligation to effect any such registration with respect to the Note or to file for or comply with any exemption from registration.  Holder is purchasing this Note for its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act.  Holder shall not transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber this Note without the express written consent of Borrower.


 


3.2.           Accredited Investor, etc.  Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Holder’s investment in this Note, is able to incur a complete loss of such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time.  Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.  In making its decision to invest in this Note, Holder has made its own independent credit analysis, and is not relying on the fact that any other person or entity is a Holder to Borrower.


 






  





  











  








SECTION 4.  DEFAULT


 


4.1.           Events of Default.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of the Subscription Agreement, each of the following shall constitute an event of default (each an “Event of Default”):


 


4.1.1                 Borrower fails to make any payment under this Note no later than ten (10) business days after the same becomes due and payable.


 


4.1.2                 Borrower fails to observe or perform, in any material respect, any covenant contained in this Note, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after its receipt of written notice by Holder setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such failure.


 


4.1.3                 Borrower (a) commences any voluntary proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, receivership, dissolution, or liquidation law or statute, of any jurisdiction, whether now or subsequently in effect; (b) is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt by a court of competent jurisdiction; (c) petitions or applies for, acquiesces in, or consents to, the appointment of any receiver or trustee of Borrower or for all or substantially all of its property or assets; (d) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (e) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature.


 


4.1.4                 There is commenced against Borrower any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, receivership, dissolution, or liquidation law or statute, of any jurisdiction, whether now or subsequently in effect, and such proceeding remains undismissed for a period of ninety (90) days or Borrower by any act indicates its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, such proceeding; or a receiver or trustee is appointed for Borrower or for all or substantially all of its property or assets, and the receivership or trusteeship remains undischarged for a period of ninety (90) days.


 


4.2.           Remedies Upon Event of Default.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of the Subscription Agreement, upon any Event of Default, then in any such event, and at any time during the continuation thereof, Holder may declare the outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all costs and expenses hereunder to be, whereupon this Note shall become, immediately due and payable.


 


SECTION 5.  SUBORDINATION


 


5.1.           Subordination.  Any right of Holder to payment of principal or interest from the Borrower shall be subordinated to the claims and rights of the holders of the Senior Debt. “Senior Debt” means all indebtedness of the Borrower outstanding on the date of execution of this Note or thereafter created, incurred or assumed that is designated as Senior Debt by the Board of Directors of the Borrower at the time it is incurred.  Any cash payment of principal or interest to Holder shall be collected, enforced or received by Holder as trustee for and paid over to the holders of Senior Debt. Holder agrees that in the event of any payment of principal or interest by the Borrower to Holder by reason of any receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, or proceeding for reorganization or readjustment of the Borrower or its properties, or otherwise, then, in any such event, the holders of Senior Debt shall be preferred in the payment of their claims over the claim of Holder to payment of principal or interest, and the claims of the holders of Senior Debt shall be first paid and satisfied in full before any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property, shall be made to Holder.
