1. Maturity. Unless prepaid by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2 hereof, this Note shall mature on June 3, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”). On the Maturity Date, unless otherwise prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, one hundred (100%) of the then outstanding principal balance and any accrued but unpaid interest due and owing on the Note shall be immediately paid by the Company to the Holder.
2. Method of Payment. The Company shall by entering into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Visicom Agreement (as defined below) on the Issue Date instruct Visicom Media Inc. (“Visicom”) to pay directly to Holder all revenues generated pursuant to that certain Yahoo-Enabled Partner Toolbar Agreement dated April 4, 2007 by and between Visicom and the Company (as amended on the date hereof pursuant to the First Amendment to, among other things, add the Holder as a party thereto, collectively with the First Amendment, the “Visicom Agreement”), which payments shall be made by wire to the Holder pursuant to the wiring instructions attached as Schedule A to the Visicom Agreement. Such payments from Visicom to Holder shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to principal due to Holder under this Note. A copy of the fully executed Visicom Agreement (including the First Amendment) is annexed hereto as Exhibit A. To the extent that any payment due hereunder is not paid or is less than the amount required to be paid hereunder on the date that any such payment is due hereunder, the Company shall pay the amount of any such shortfall within one (1) business day of receipt of notice of such shortfall by the Holder.
3. Calculation and Payment of Interest.
(a) This Note shall bear interest (“Interest”) at a rate equal to twenty-four percent (24%) (the “Interest Rate”) per annum on a 360-day year basis. Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears, compounding daily through and including the last day of each calendar month, with the first interest payment being due on July 3, 2011, and continuing on the third day of each and every succeeding month until all amounts owed under the Note shall have been fully repaid. The Note shall be payable in full on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the Prepayment Date (as defined in Section 4 hereof, as the case may be.
(b) The Company agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, whether or not the Holder has accelerated payment of this Note, and after judgment has been rendered on this Note and after the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal on this Note shall bear interest to the Holder at an annual rate of thirty (30%) percent and the Holder shall be entitled to any and all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in the collection of the amount of non-payment on the Note and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon.
(c) All payments to be made by the Company hereunder or pursuant to the Note shall be made, without setoff or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds.
(d) In the event that it is determined that, under the laws relating to usury applicable to the Company or the indebtedness evidenced by this Note (“Applicable Usury Laws”), the interest charges and fees payable by the Company in connection herewith or in connection with any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith cause the effective interest rate applicable to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note to exceed the maximum rate allowed by law (the “Maximum Rate”), then such interest shall be recalculated for the period in question and any excess over the Maximum Rate paid with respect to such period shall be credited, without further agreement or notice, to the Principal Amount outstanding hereunder to reduce said balance by such amount with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Payee had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment. All such deemed prepayments shall be applied to the principal balance payable at maturity. In no event shall any agreed-to or actual exaction as consideration for this Note exceed the limits imposed or provided by Applicable Usury Laws in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident applicable to the use or detention of money or to forbearance in seeking its collection in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident.
4. Prepayment.

Upon notice of prepayment being given by the Company, the Company covenants and agrees that it will pay the prepayment amount set forth in such notice, on the date fixed for prepayment in such notice, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the date fixed for such prepayment and together with any applicable costs and expenses of which Company has notice, all as a condition to such prepayment.

(a) Promptly pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon its income and profits, or upon any of its property, before the same shall become delinquent, as well as all claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon such properties or any part thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the validity thereof shall be contested in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and the Company shall set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with respect to any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so contested.

No failure on the part of the Holder hereof to exercise any right or remedy hereunder with respect to the Company, whether before or after the happening of an Event of Default, shall constitute a waiver of any future Event of Default or of any other Event of Default. No failure to accelerate the debt of the Company evidenced hereby by reason of an Event of Default or indulgence granted from time to time shall be construed to be a waiver of the right to insist upon prompt payment thereafter; nor shall be deemed to be a novation of this Note or a reinstatement of such debt evidenced hereby or a waiver of such right of acceleration or any other right, or be construed so as to preclude the exercise of any right the Holder may have, whether by law, by agreement or otherwise; and the Company hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity that would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.
