1. Advances. As of the date of this Note, Xxxxxx has advanced $912,305.69 to Obligor.

Advance requests shall be made by Obligor to Holder in writing and shall specify in reasonable detail the use of the proceeds. The decision as to whether to make any particular advance shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Holder, whether or not reasonable. Advances made as of the date of this Note are reflected on the Schedule attached to this Note and initialed by Xxxxxx, and any additional advances made by Holder shall be similarly reflected and initialed.
2. Computation of Interest. Interest chargeable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the period from the date of each advance of funds (including advances made prior to the date of this Note pursuant to the Prior Notes, as that term is defined in Section 6) until the date of repayment.
3. Maturity Date. On December 29, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”), all outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full.

5. Default. This Note shall become due and payable, at the option of Holder, upon the occurrence at any time of an Event of Default, as that term is defined in the Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement dated June 27, 2014, between Obligor and Holder (the “Security Agreement”).

8. Waivers; Etc. Presentment, demand, protest, and all notices of every kind (including notices of protest, dishonor and nonpayment of this Note) are hereby waived by Obligor.

Consent to one such transaction shall not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to any future transaction. No such waiver shall constitute a further or continuing waiver of such right or remedy as to any preceding or succeeding breach hereunder. No single or partial exercise of any right hereunder or under any instrument securing or guaranteeing this Note shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right under this Note. No acceptance by Holder of any payment due hereunder which is less than the full amount then due and owing shall operate as a waiver of the same or any other right or option, except as and to the extent provided by law. The release of any party liable on this Note shall not operate to release any other party liable hereon. All rights and remedies of Holder hereunder and under any documents securing this Note are cumulative.
