 Section 7.16. New Laws.

 SENIOR SECURED TERM NOTE
  
 	 $100,000,000.00 
	  October 1, 2018


 
  
 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned MM CAN USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation having an office at 10115 Jefferson Blvd., Culver City, California 902232 (the “Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of HANKEY CAPITAL, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Lender”), at its offices at 4751 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 110, Los Angeles, CA 90010 or at such other place as the Lender may from time to time designate, the principal sum of up to ONE HUNDRED MILLION AND 00/100 U.S. DOLLARS ($100,000,000.00), plus interest, payable at a rate and in the manner provided in Sections 1 and 2 of this Senior Secured Term Note (this “Note”), together with all taxes assessed upon said sum against the holder hereof, and any costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in the collection of this Note. Said amounts of principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses are collectively referred to in this Note as the “Entire Note Balance.”
  
 This Note is issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of, and is subject to the provisions, and entitled to the benefits of, that certain Senior Secured Commercial Loan Agreement of even date herewith between the Borrower and the Lender (the “Loan Agreement”), which is incorporated herein as if reproduced verbatim and in its entirety. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
  
 1. Interest Rate. The Borrower agrees to pay principal and all interest which accrues on the unpaid balance of this Note from the date the proceeds of this Note are disbursed until such time as the obligations evidenced hereunder have been paid in full. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest from the date the proceeds of this Note are disbursed at the fixed rate of seven and one-half percent (7.50%) per annum. Interest will be calculated as set forth above until October 1, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”) and, after the Maturity Date, interest will be calculated as set forth above, plus an additional five (5.0%) percent per annum in excess of such rate. In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the applicable interest rate shall be increased by five percent (5.0%) per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year counting the actual number of day elapsed. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
    
 	 
	43
	

	 

 
  
 2. Payments. Absent an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest, in amounts that may vary, monthly, on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, or as otherwise invoiced by the Lender, until the Maturity Date or earlier Event of Default when the remaining Entire Note Balance shall be due and payable in full. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. All payments called for in this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. If made by check, draft, or other payment instrument, such check, draft, or other payment instrument shall represent immediately available funds. In the holder’s discretion, any payment made by a check, draft, or other payment instrument shall not be considered to have been made until such time as the funds represented thereby have been collected by the holder.
  
 3. Prepayment. The Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lender; provided however, as consideration for the privilege of making such prepayment at any time prior to December 31, 2019, the Borrower shall pay the Lender a fee equal to one (1%) percent of the then outstanding principal amount being prepaid at that time. If this Note shall be accelerated prior to December 31, 2019, for any reason whatsoever, the prepayment fee in effect as of the date of such acceleration shall be paid. Any partial prepayment shall be applied in the order of priority set forth in Section 5 hereof and then against the principal amount outstanding in the inverse order of maturity, and shall not postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly payments of interest, unless the Lender shall otherwise agree in writing.
   
 4. Non-Revolving. This is not a revolving note. Amounts repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed.
   
 5. Application of Payments. Payments made hereunder will be applied first to fully pay any outstanding late charges or fees, then to fully pay reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by holder in collecting the Note or in sustaining and/or enforcing any security granted to secure this Note, then to fully pay accrued interest and the remainder will be applied to the outstanding principal balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender may apply payments in such order of priority as the Lender may choose, in its sole discretion.
   
 6. Maximum Legal Rate. It is the intent of the Lender and the Borrower that in no event shall interest be payable at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Legal Rate”). Solely to the extent necessary to prevent interest under this Note from exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate, the Borrower agrees that any amount that would be treated as excessive under a final judicial interpretation of applicable law shall be deemed to have been a mistake and automatically cancelled, and, if received by the Lender, shall be refunded to the Borrower without interest.
  
 7. Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Entire Note Balance shall, at the option of the Lender, become immediately due and payable without notice or demand.
  
 8. Delay in Enforcement. The liability of the Borrower or any co-maker, endorser or guarantor under this Note is unconditional and shall not be affected by any extension of time, renewal, waiver or any other modification whatsoever, granted or consented to by the Lender.
  
 	 
	44
	

	 

 
  
 Any failure by the Lender to exercise any right it may have under this Note is not a waiver of the Lender’s rights to exercise the same or any other right at any other time.
  
 9. Waiver of Protest; Jury Trial Waiver. The Borrower, and any other parties to this Note, whether maker, indorser, or guarantor, waive presentment, notice of dishonor and protest. The Borrower (by execution and delivery of this Note) and the holder of this Note (by acceptance of this Note) agree that any suit, action, or proceeding, whether claim or counterclaim, brought or instituted by or against the Borrower or the holder of this Note, or any successor or assign of the Borrower or the holder of this Note, on or with respect to this Note or any of the other “Loan Documents,” as such term is defined in the Agreement, or which in any way relates, directly or indirectly, to the obligations of the Borrower to the holder of this Note under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, or the dealings of the parties with respect thereto, shall be tried only by a court and not by a jury. THE BORROWER AND THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE EACH HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING.
  
 10. Notices. Any notice or demand required or permitted by or in connection with this Note shall be given in the manner specified in the Loan Agreement for the giving of notices under the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all notices and demands for payment from the holder actually received in writing by the Borrower shall be considered to be effective upon the receipt thereof by the Borrower regardless of the procedure or method utilized to accomplish delivery thereof to the Borrower.
  
 11. Assignability. This Note may only be assigned by the Lender or by any holder to the extent permitted by the stated terms of the Loan Agreement.
  
 12. Binding Nature. This Note shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lender and the Lender’s successors and assigns, and shall be binding and enforceable against the Borrower and the Borrower’s successors and assigns.
  
 13. Invalidity of Any Part. If any provision or part of any provision of this Note shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Note and this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or part thereof had never been contained herein, but only to the extent of its invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability.
  
 14. Choice of Law. The laws of the State of California (the “Governing State”) (excluding, however, conflict of law principles) shall govern and be applied to determine all issues relating to this Note and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, including the validity, construction, interpretation, and enforceability of this Note and its various provisions and the consequences and legal effect of all transactions and events which resulted in the issuance of this Note or which occurred or were to occur as a direct or indirect result of this Note having been executed.
  
 	 
	45
	

	 

 
  
 15. Consent to Jurisdiction; Agreement as to Venue. The Borrower irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court (if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists) located in the Governing State. The Borrower agrees that venue shall be proper in any state or federal court located in the Governing State and waives any right to object to the maintenance of a suit in any of the state or federal courts of the Governing State on the basis of improper venue or of inconvenience of forum.
  
 16. Tense; Gender; Defined Terms; Section Headings. As used herein, the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular. A reference to any gender also applies to any other gender. Defined terms are entirely capitalized throughout, and defined terms not specifically defined herein shall have the same meaning as provided by the terms of the Agreement. The section headings are for convenience only and are not part of this Note.
  
 17. Actions against Holder. Any action brought by the Borrower against the holder of this Note which is based, directly or indirectly, on this Note or any matter in or related to this Note, including but not limited to the making of the loan evidenced hereby or the administration or collection thereof, shall be brought only in the courts of the Governing State. The Borrower agrees that any forum other than the Governing State is an inconvenient forum and that a suit brought by the Borrower against the holder of this Note in a court of any state other than the Governing State should be forthwith dismissed or transferred to a court located in the Governing State by that Court.
  
 18. Other Obligations. To the extent the Entire Note Balance is reduced or paid in full by reason of any payment to the Lender by any accommodation maker, endorser or guarantor, and all or any part of such payment is rescinded, avoided or recovered from the Lender for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any proceedings in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the accommodation maker, endorser or guarantor, the amount of such rescinded, avoided or returned payment shall be added to or, in the event the Note has been previously paid in full, shall revive the principal balance of this Note, upon which interest may be charged at the applicable rate set forth above.
