a part hereof, in which case, and only in which case, the payment of the

OF THE ESSENCE, (the “Maturity Date”) at which time all remaining
principal and accrued interest, if any, and all other sums owing under this Note
shall be due and payable in full.
2. Interest. The
rate of interest on the principal balance due on this Note shall be ten percent
(10.0%) per annum. Provided Borrowers are free from default hereunder and under
the “Yomah Agreement” (hereinafter defined), Lender agrees to waive any interest
payable on said amounts. However, in the event Borrowers default under the
“Yomah Agreement” (hereinafter defined) or fail to make any principal payment
required hereunder when due, then interest at the aforementioned rate shall
accrue on all unpaid amounts from the date of this Note until all sums due
Lender hereunder are paid in full. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a
360 day year but shall be charged for the actual number of days
elapsed.
3. Application of
payments. Payments received under this Note (including
prepayments) shall be applied first to principal and then to interest. The
making of any prepayment shall not change the Maturity Date or the date payments
referenced in Section 1(A) are due.

the sums due lender under this Note are permitted at any time without penalty or
premium.
5. Place and manner of
Payment. Payments under this Note are to be made in
immediately available funds at the offices of Lender listed in this Note or at
such other location designated by lender.
6. Credits for Unit Release
Fees. Borrowers have been afforded the right to secure “Unit
Releases” pursuant to Section 3 of that certain Agreement between Lender,
Borrowers, Yomah, Inc., Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx and Kedma, Inc.
dated even date herewith (the “Xxxxx Agreement”), a copy of which Section 3 of
the Yomah Agreement is incorporated herein by reference and made apart hereof.
Provided Borrowers are free from default under the Yomah Agreement and under
this Note, Lender agrees to apply each “Unit Release Fee” (as defined in Section
3) it receives, dollar for dollar, as a credit against the principal sum due
from time to time under Section 1(B) of this Note.
7. Defaults and
Remedies. A default by Borrowers in the payment of any sum due lender
pursuant to this Note, or a default by Borrowers (or any of the parties
comprising Borrowers) under the Yoman Agreement shall automatically constitute
an Event of Default hereunder, and Event of Default by Borrowers under the Yomah
Agreement. In any such event, all sums outstanding under this Note, Together
with accrued interest thereon from the dates hereof, may at lender’s sole
option, become, or exercise any of its other rights and remedies as set forth in
the Yomah Agreement. Lender’s delay or failure to accelerate this Note or to
exercise any other available right or remedy shall not impair any such right or
remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a forbearance or waiver.
8. New Jersey Law.
This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of New Jersey. Borrowers hereby consent to personal jurisdiction in
the state of New Jersey with respect to any and all matters arising under or
relating to this Note.
9 Partial
Invalidity. If any term or provision of this Note is at any
time held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining
terms and provisions of this Note shall not be affected and shall remain in full
force and effect.
10. Waiver to Jury Trial. No
implied Waivers. Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive
presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, diligence and all other demands
and notices in connection with the payment and enforcement of this
Note. BORROWERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL
HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER. By accepting
this Note, Lender also waives its right to request a trial by
jury. Additionally, the failure by Lender to enforce against the
Borrower any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of Lender’s right to enforce against Borrower such term or provision in
the future.
11. Interest
Limits. If any provision of this Note relating to the
rate of interest violates any applicable law in effect at the time payment is
due, the interest rate then in effect shall be automatically reduced to the
maximum rate then permitted by law. If for any reason Lender should receive as
interest an amount that would exceed the highest applicable lawful rate of
interest, the amount that would exceed that highest lawful rate shall be deemed
to be credited against principal and not to the payment of
interest.
12. Successors and
Assigns. This Note shall be binding on Borrowers and
their respective heirs, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit
of Lender and its successors and assigns. The term “Lender” in this Note shall
refer to Sovereign Bank or to any other future holder of this Note.

or to protect the security for its payment, the Borrowers immediately and

and (ii) shall not be limited regardless of whether this Note or other

and regardless of whether lender exercises any available rights or remedies
against any collateral pledge as security for this note. Moreover, any such

judgment of a court or competent jurisdiction and shall remain in full force and
effect post judgment and shall continue tin full force and effect with regard to
any subsequent proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction including, but
