For the purposes of this Note, an “Event of Default” means the occurrence of any of the following: (a) Maker shall fail to make any payment of principal or interest on a Payment Date, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of (10) days after written notice from Payee, or (b) Maker fails to comply with any of its other obligations under this Note and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Payee, or (c) Maker, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined):  (i) commences a voluntary case; (ii) becomes subject to an involuntary case which is not withdrawn, discharged or stayed within sixty (60) days after the commencement thereof; (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian (as hereinafter defined) for Maker or for all or substantially all of Maker’s property; (iv) becomes subject to the appointment of a Custodian for Maker or for all or substantially all of Maker’s property which appointment is not withdrawn, discharged or stayed within sixty (60) days after the appointment thereof; or (v) makes a general assignment for the benefit of Maker’s creditors.

In no event whatsoever shall the amount of interest paid or agreed to be paid to Payee exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.  If Payee shall receive as interest, an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount outstanding under this Note (without prepayment premium or penalty).







Maker shall have the right to set-off against and apply the principal and interest owing under this Note against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations or other damages which may be asserted by Maker and/or Atlas, in good faith, to be owing by Payee under the IPPA and the other Related Agreements (as defined in the IPPA) to which Payee is a party, including, without limitation, the indemnification obligations of Payee under the IPPA.







This Note may not be assigned, transferred, sold or pledged by Payee without the prior written consent of Maker.  Any assignment, transfer, sale or pledge by Payee without the prior written consent of Maker shall be null and void ab initio.   This Note shall be binding upon Maker and its successors and inure to the benefit of Payee and Payee’s heirs, executors, administrators and permitted assigns.  If any term of this Note shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms and provisions hereof shall in no way be affected thereby.  This Note may not be changed, modified or terminated orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged therewith.  No delay, failure or omission by the Payee or any subsequent holder in respect of the exercise of any right or remedy granted hereunder or allowed by law to the Payee or other holder shall constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at any future time or in the same or other circumstances.
