the Principal Amount through such Payment Date plus (b) a repayment of the Principal Amount

5. Application of Payments.



5.1. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, payments under this Note shall be applied
(a) first to the repayment of any sums incurred by Lender for the payment of any expenses in
enforcing the terms of this Note, (b) then to the payment of Interest accruing under the Default
Interest Rate, (c) then to the payment of Interest accruing under the Interest Rate, and (d) then
to the reduction of the Principal Amount.



5.2. Upon payment in full of the Principal Amount and applicable accrued and unpaid Interest
thereon, this Note shall be marked “Paid in Full” and returned to Borrower.



6. Waiver of Notice. Borrower hereby waives diligence, notice, presentment, protest
and notice of dishonor.



7. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of following events (each, an “Event
of Default”) shall constitute an Event of Default of Borrower:

Note, provided Lender has given Borrower verbal or written notice of such default and three
business days within which to cure such default;



7.2. Borrower’s default in the performance or observance of any other provision of this Note
or the Purchase Agreement, provided Lender has given Borrower written notice of such default and
five days within which to cure such default to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction, or the Guarantor’s
(as defined in the Guaranty) default in the performance or observance of any provision of the
Guaranty; or



7.3. (a) The application for the appointment of a receiver or custodian for Borrower or the

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may elect, by written notice delivered to
Borrower, to take at any time any or all of the following actions: (i) declare this Note to be
forthwith due and payable, whereupon the entire unpaid Principal Amount, together with all accrued
and unpaid Interest thereon, and all other cash obligations hereunder, shall become forthwith due
and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by Borrower, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and
(ii) exercise any and all other remedies provided hereunder or available at law or in equity.



Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, in the event that Lender elects to
unwind the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Article 3.2(b)(iii)(B)
