(ii) a judgment or order for the payment of money in an amount exceeding $100,000 shall be rendered against the Company; or
 
(iii) the Company files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or
 
(iv) An involuntary petition is filed against the Company (unless such petition is dismissed or discharged within 60 days under any bankruptcy statute now or hereafter in effect, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is appointed to take possession, custody or control of any property of the Company.
 
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, the Holder may at any time at its option, upon written notice to the Company (which election and notice shall not be required in the case of an Event of Default under Section 6(a)(ii) or 6(a)(iv)) declare the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest calculated at the applicable rate, due and payable, and thereupon, the same shall be accelerated and so due and payable.

A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of any subsequent right, remedy, or recourse as to a subsequent event.

8. Interest Limitation. All agreements between the Company and Holder are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance, loaning or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law (“Maximum Rate”). If from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof at any time given the amount paid or agreed to be paid shall exceed the Maximum Rate permissible under applicable law, then, the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limit permitted by applicable law, and if from any circumstance Holder should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate of interest, such amount which would be in excess of such highest lawful rate of interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest.
