$100,000.00 | State of Utah April 2, 2013 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Tonaquint, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to The Digital Development Group Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Lender,” and together with the Borrower, the “Parties”), the principal sum of $100,000.00 together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, fees incurred or other amounts owing hereunder, all as set forth below in this Buyer Deed of Trust Note #2 (this “Note”). This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith entered into by and between the Borrower and the Lender (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lender issued to the Borrower that certain Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $340,000.00 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Lender Note”), convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement.
1.
Principal and Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance and any unpaid late fees or other fees under this Note at a rate of five percent (5.0%) per annum until the full amount of the principal and fees has been paid. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in no event shall the applicable interest rate at any time exceed the maximum interest rate allowed under applicable law, as provided in Section 11 below. The entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, under this Note, shall be due and payable on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months from the date hereof (the “Buyer Deed of Trust Note Maturity Date”).
2.
Payment. Unless prepaid, all principal and accrued interest under this Note is payable in one lump sum on the Buyer Deed of Trust Note Maturity Date. All payments of interest and principal shall be (i) in lawful money of the United States of America, and (ii) in the form of immediately available funds. All payments shall be applied first to costs of collection, if any, then to accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter to principal. Payment of principal and interest hereunder shall be delivered to the Lender at the address furnished to the Borrower for that purpose.
3.
Prepayment by the Borrower. The Borrower may, in the Borrower’s sole and absolute discretion, pay, without penalty, all or any portion of the outstanding balance along with any accrued but unpaid interest on this Note at any time prior to the Buyer Deed of Trust Note Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Lender Note) has ever occurred, regardless of whether or not such Equity Conditions Failure has been cured, the Borrower shall be required to pay the entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, under this Note on the date that is four (4) months after the date the Lender Note is issued. For purposes of determining an Equity Conditions Failure, the Equity Conditions Measuring Period (as defined in the Lender Note) will begin as of the date hereof and continue through the Buyer Deed of Trust Note Maturity Date.
4.
Security. The payment of this Note is secured by that certain Deed of Trust (the “Deed of Trust”) of even date herewith executed by the Borrower, as Trustor, in favor of the Lender, as Beneficiary, encumbering certain real property of the Borrower, as more specifically set forth in the Deed of Trust, all the terms and conditions of which are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Note. The Lender covenants and agrees to release the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of Section 5.
5.
Termination of Security Interest. The Lender covenants and agrees that simultaneous with the receipt of this Note, duly executed by the Borrower, it shall execute and deliver a Request for Full Reconveyance substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Reconveyance”), which will operate to release the Deed of Trust upon satisfaction of the conditions for release of the Deed of Trust set forth in the Escrow Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). An escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), mutually satisfactory to the Borrower and the Lender, shall hold the Reconveyance in escrow, subject to the condition that the Escrow Agent may not follow the directions set forth in the Reconveyance until all of the conditions for release of the Deed of Trust set forth in the Escrow Agreement have been satisfied. In accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Reconveyance shall require that the Escrow Agent record a Deed of Reconveyance (reconveying the Deed of Trust) the earlier of (i) the first date on which the Buyer Deed of Trust Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) are repaid in full, or (ii) six months and three days following the date the Deed of Trust is recorded or such later date as determined in the sole discretion of the Borrower (the “Release Date”). For avoidance of doubt, after the Release Date, there shall be no collateral securing this Note.
6.
Right of Offset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, in the event (i) of the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Lender Note) under the Lender Note or any other note issued by the Lender in connection with the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the Borrower exercises any Event of Default Redemption Right or Fundamental Transaction Redemption Right (as such terms are defined in the Lender Note) under the Lender Note, (iii) the Lender Note is accelerated for any reason, or (iv) of a breach of any material term, condition, representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Lender under any Transaction Document, the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and offset any amount owing by the Lender under the Lender Note from any amount owed by the Borrower under this Note. In the event that the Borrower’s exercise of the Borrower’s offset rights under this Section 6 results in the full satisfaction of the Borrower’s obligations under this Note, then the Lender shall return this Note to the Borrower for cancellation or, in the event this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Lender shall provide the Borrower with a lost note affidavit in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.
7.
Default. If any of the events specified below shall occur (each, an “Event of Default”), the Lender may declare the unpaid principal balance under this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, fees incurred or other amounts owing hereunder immediately due and payable, by notice in writing to the Borrower. If any default, other than a Payment Default (as defined below), is curable, then the default may be cured (and no Event of Default will have occurred) if the Borrower, after receiving written notice from the Lender demanding cure of such default, either (a) cures the default within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such notice, or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps that the Lender deems in the Lender’s reasonable discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter diligently continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical. Each of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default:
(a)
Failure to Pay. The Borrower’s failure to make any payment when due and payable under this Note (a “Payment Default”);
(b)
Breaches of Covenants. The Borrower’s failure to observe or perform any other covenant, obligation, condition or agreement contained in this Note;
(c)
Representations and Warranties. If any representation, warranty, certificate, or other statement (financial or otherwise) made or furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Lender in writing in connection with this Note or any of the other Transaction Documents, or as an inducement to the Lender to enter into the Purchase Agreement, shall be false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; and
(d)
Involuntary Bankruptcy. If any involuntary petition is filed under any bankruptcy or similar law or rule against the Borrower, and such petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days, or a receiver, trustee, liquidator, assignee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official is appointed to take possession of any of the assets or properties of the Borrower or any guarantor.
