Company Equityholder has all requisite power and authority, or legal capacity,
as the case may be, to enter into and to carry out all of the terms of this
Agreement and all other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith
(collectively, the “Documents”).
Any
action on the part of the Company Equityholder necessary for the authorization,
execution, delivery and performance of the Documents by the Company Equityholder
has been taken and no further authorization on the part of the Company
Equityholder is required to consummate the transactions provided for in the
Documents. When executed and delivered by the Company Equityholder, the
Documents shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the
Company Equityholder enforceable in accordance with their respective terms,
subject to bankruptcy, moratorium, principles of equity and other limitations
limiting the rights of creditors generally. Each Company Equityholder who is
a
natural person is over the age of 21, has not been declared incompetent, and
has
the right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Documents
contemplated herein without the consent or joinder of any other Person or

3.2 Ownership
of and Title To Securities.
The
Company Equityholder will transfer to Issuer good and marketable title to the
Company Equity which it owns or will own, free and clear of all pledges,
security interests, mortgages, liens, claims, charges, restrictions or
encumbrances, except for any restrictions imposed by United States federal
or
state securities Laws.
3.3 Investment
and Related Representations.
(a)
Securities
Laws Compliance.
The
Company Equityholder is aware that neither the Exchange Shares nor the offer
or
sale thereof to the Company Equityholder has been registered under the
Securities Act, or under any state or foreign securities Laws. The Company
Equityholder understands that the Exchange Shares it will receive will be
characterized as “restricted” securities under United States federal securities
Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired in a transaction not involving a public
offering and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities
may
be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited
circumstances. The Company Equityholder agrees that the Company Equityholder
will not sell all or any portion of Exchange Shares except pursuant to
Regulations D or S under the Securities Act, pursuant to registration under
the
Securities Act or pursuant to an other available exemption from registration
under the Securities Act, and will not engage in hedging transactions with
regard to the Exchange Shares unless in compliance with the Securities Act.
The
Company Equityholder understands that each certificate for Exchange Shares
issued to the Company Equityholder or to any subsequent transferee shall bear
a
legend substantially as set forth below, and that Issuer shall refuse to
transfer the Exchange Shares except in accordance with such
restrictions:
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “1933 ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE
SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
HYPOTHECATED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SHARES, OR WITH
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER STATING THAT SUCH
SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS BEING MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS; AND
HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS
IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1933 ACT.
12
(b)
Investment
Representation.
This
Agreement is made with the Company Equityholder in reliance upon the Company
Equityholder's representation, which by the Company Equityholder's execution
of
this Agreement the Company Equityholder hereby confirms, that the Exchange
Shares to be received by the Company Equityholder are being acquired pursuant
to
this Agreement for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to
the
resale or distribution thereof (i) such that the Company Equityholder would
be
considered an “underwriter” as such term is defined in the Securities Act, and
(ii) unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or exemption under
the Securities Act.
(c)
No
Public Solicitation.
The
Company Equityholder is acquiring the Exchange Shares after private negotiation
and has not been attracted to the acquisition of the Exchange Shares by any
press release, advertising, publication, or other general solicitation or
through any directed selling efforts (as such term is defined in Regulation
S
promulgated under the Securities Act) made in the United States.
(d)
Access
to Information.
The
Company Equityholder acknowledges that the reports (collectively the
“SEC
Reports”)
filed
by Issuer with the SEC are publicly available, and that the Company Equityholder
has reviewed the SEC Reports to the extent that the Company Equityholder deemed
necessary and appropriate in making an investment decision
hereunder.
(e)
Investor
Solicitation and Ability to Bear Risk to Loss.
The
Company Equityholder acknowledges the acquisition of the Exchange Shares is
a
highly speculative investment, involving a high degree of risk and that he
can
bear the economic risk of investment in such securities without producing a
material adverse change in the Company Equityholder's financial condition.
The
Company Equityholder otherwise has such knowledge and experience in financial
or
business matters that the Company Equityholder is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the investment in the Exchange Shares.
(f)
Non-U.S. Person Status.
Other
than those Company Equityholders denoted as U.S. residents on Exhibit
1.1
hereto,
each Company Equityholder is not a “U.S. Person,” and is not acquiring the
Exchange Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person, and is acquiring
the Exchange Shares in an “offshore transaction,” as those terms are defined in
Regulation S. If the Company Equityholder is not a “US Person, such Company
Equityholder further represents, warrants and acknowledges that the Exchange
Shares have not been offered to the Company Equityholder in the United States
and the Persons making the decision to purchase the Exchange Shares and
executing and delivering this Agreement on behalf of the Company Equityholder
were not in the United States when the decision was made and this Agreement
was
executed and delivered; the Company Equityholder will not engage in any activity
for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect
of,
conditioning the market in the United States for any of the Exchange Shares;
and
that neither the Company Equityholder nor any of his affiliates will directly
or
indirectly maintain any short position, purchase or sell put or call options
or
otherwise engage in any hedging activities in any of the Exchange Shares or
any
other Exchange Shares of the Company until the expiration of the “Distribution
Compliance Period”
(as
defined in Regulation
S),
and
acknowledges that such activities are prohibited by Regulation.
13
(e)
No
Obligation to Register the Exchange Shares.
Except
as provided in Section
10.5
hereof,
the Company Equityholder acknowledges that Issuer has no obligation or present
intention of registering the Exchange Shares for sale by the Company
Equityholders.

TERMINATION

9.1 Termination
by Either the Company or Issuer.
This
Agreement may be terminated by either the Company or Issuer at any time if
there
has been a breach by the other of any representation, warranty, or covenant
which breach remains uncured for a period of 30 days following written notice
thereof given in accordance with Section
10.6 hereof.
This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the mutual consent of the
Company and Issuer. This Agreement shall automatically terminate if the
Reorganization has not been consummated by March 31, 2007. If this Agreement
so
terminates, all parties hereto shall be absolved from any claims or liabilities
arising from and in connection with this Agreement.
9.2 Procedure

Agreement is terminated as provided herein:
26
(a)
Each
of the parties shall, upon request, redeliver all documents, work papers and
other material of the other parties relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby, whether obtained before or after the execution hereof, to the party
furnishing the same;
(b)
No
party shall have any liability for a breach of any representation, warranty,
agreement, covenant or the provision of this Agreement, unless such breach
was
due to a willful or bad faith action or omission of such party or any
representative, agent, employee or independent contractor thereof;
and
(c)
All

Agreement shall, to the extent practicable, be withdrawn from the agency or

ARTICLE

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
10.1 Survival
of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
All of
the representations, warranties and covenants of the Issuer and the Issuer
Shareholder in this Agreement in Articles
4, 5, and 6
or in
any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing
hereof.
10.2 Expenses.
Issuer,
Issuer Shareholder, the Company Equityholders and the Company shall each bear
their own costs and expenses relating to the transactions contemplated hereby,
including fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants, investment bankers,
brokers or finders, printers, copiers, consultants or other representatives

hereby.
10.3 Amendment;

No
provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written
instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by both the Company and the
Issuer; or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement
of
any such waiver is sought.
10.4 Waiver
of Compliance; Consents.
Any
failure of a party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or
condition herein may be expressly waived in writing by Issuer and the Issuer
Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Company and the Company Equityholders,
on
the other, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with
such
obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver
of,
or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. No single or
partial exercise of a right or remedy shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy hereunder. Whenever this
Agreement requires or permits the consent by or on behalf of a party, such
consent shall be given in writing in the same manner as for waivers of
compliance.
27
10.5 “Piggy-back”
Registration Rights.
If at
any time during the two year period following the Closing Date there is not
an
effective registration statement covering all of the Exchange Shares and Issuer
shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under
the
Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form
S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents
relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then Issuer shall
send to each holder of the Exchange Shares written notice of such determination
and, if within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, any such holder shall
so request in writing, Issuer shall include in such registration statement
all
or any part of such the Exhange Shares such holder requests to be registered.
If, in connection with any underwritten offering for the account of issuer
the
managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of
shares of Common Stock which may be included in the registration statement
because, in such underwriter(s)' judgment, such limitation is necessary to
effect an orderly public distribution of securities covered thereby, then Issuer
shall be obligated to include in such registration statement only such limited
portion of the Exhange Shares for to which such Holder has requested inclusion
hereunder as such underwriter(s) shall permit. Any exclusion of the Exhange
Shares shall be made pro rata among the holders seeking to include the Exhange
Shares, in proportion to the number of Exhange Shares sought to be included
by
such holders; provided,
however,
that
Issuer shall not exclude any Exhange Shares unless Issuer has first excluded
all
outstanding securities the holders of which are not entitled by right to
inclusion of securities in such registration statement; and provided,
further,
however,
that,
after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of
Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities
having the right to include such securities in such registration statement.
Other than this piggy-back registration obligation, nothing in this Agreement
shall entitle any party hereto to any claim, cause of action, remedy or right
of
any kind with respect to the registration rights.
10.6 Notices.
All
notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted
hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
and effective: (i) on the date of delivery, if delivered personally; (ii) on
the
date of transmission, if sent by facsimile, telecopy, telex or other similar

Closing shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
10.8 Severability.
Any
provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining

upon
so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
Any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate
or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.9 Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be
considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party.
This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other parties
hereto by facsimile transmission of a copy of this Agreement bearing the
signature of the party so delivering this Agreement. In the event any signature
is delivered by facsimile transmission, the party using such means of delivery
shall cause the manually executed execution page(s) hereof to be physically
delivered to the other party within five days of the execution hereof, provided
that the failure to so deliver any manually executed execution page shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.
10.10 Headings.
The
headings herein are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part
of this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to
articles and sections refer to articles and sections of this Agreement, and
all

herein as an “Issuer
Indemnified Party”)
against and in respect of any and all damages, losses, settlement payments,
in
respect of deficiencies, liabilities, costs, expenses and claims suffered,

10.14 Remedies
and Injunctive Relief.
It is
expressly agreed among the parties hereto that monetary damages would be
inadequate to compensate a party hereto for any breach by any other party of

that any such violation or threatened violation shall cause irreparable injury
to the other and that, in addition to any other remedies which may be available,

of Article 5 hereof or the continuation of any such breach without the necessity
of proving actual damages and may seek to specifically enforce the terms
thereof.

conditions or (iii) changes in generally accepted accounting
principles.
31
10.16 Severability.
The
provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability
of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this
Agreement, as applied to any party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged
by
an Authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with
its terms, the parties hereto agree that the Authority, arbitrator, or mediator
making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a
manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to
delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will
then be enforceable and will be enforced.
10.17 Construction.
The
parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of
this
Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises,
this
Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and
no
presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party
hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. The words
“include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without
limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be
construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will
be
construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise
requires.
10.8 Governing
Law.

corporate laws of the State of Delaware shall govern all issues concerning
the
relative rights of the Issuer and its shareholders. All other questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or
rule
(whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause
the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New
York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the
state and federal courts sitting in the City and County of New York, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith,
or
with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such
court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum
or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
to
such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees
that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way
any
right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH
PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO
REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,

any law applicable to the Executive, or any agreement to which the
Executive is a party or by which she is
bound.
|
(c)
|
The
Executive is acquiring the Executive Note as principal for her own

therein.
|
(d)
|
The
Executive either alone or together with her representatives, has
such
knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial

the
merits and risks of such investment and has determined that the Executive
Note is suitable for investment for her.
|
(e)
|

loss of such investment.
|
(f)
|

The execution, delivery and performance by the Executive of this
Agreement
and the completion of the transaction contemplated hereby do not

Executive Note is non-transferable, not listed on any exchange and
that no

to the
offering of the Executive Note to
her.
|
(j)
|
The
Executive understands that the sale and delivery of the Executive
Note is
conditional upon such sale being exempt from the registration and
prospectus requirements under applicable securities legislation or
upon
the issuance of such orders, consents or approvals as may be required
to
permit such sale and delivery without complying with such requirements.
If
required under applicable securities legislation or regulatory policy,
or
by any securities commission, stock exchange or other regulatory
authority, the Executive will execute, deliver, file and otherwise
assist

not relying on the Company for any tax advice
whatsoever.

The
Executive is responsible for obtaining such legal advice as she considers
appropriate in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and her acquisition of the Executive Note hereby. The Executive
acknowledges that she has been advised that no accountant or attorney
engaged by the Company is acting as her representative, accountant
or
attorney in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions
contemplated hereby.
|
(n)
|
All
information which the Executive has provided or is providing the
Company,
or to its agents or representatives concerning the Executive’s suitability

understood and agreed by the parties to this Agreement as follows:
(a) The

the Executive and the Company. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for
the
performance by the Executive or the Company of their respective obligations
under this Note Escrow Agreement.
(b) The

hereunder with the limited duties herein prescribed.
(c) The
Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy, act in reliance upon
the contents, and assume genuineness, of any notice, instruction, certificate,
signature, instrument or other document which is given to the Escrow Agent
without verifying the truth or accuracy thereof. The Escrow Agent shall not
be
obligated to make any inquiry as to the authority, capacity, existence or
identity of any person purporting to give any such notice or instructions or
the
execution of any such certificate, instrument or other document which is given
to the Escrow Agent or to verify the truth or accuracy thereof.
(d) In
the
event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights
hereunder or shall receive instructions with respect to the delivery of the
Note
under Sections 3 or 4 of this Note Escrow Agreement which, in its sole
determination, are in conflict either with other instructions received by it
or
with any provision of this Note Escrow Agreement, it shall be entitled to retain
the Note pending the resolution of such uncertainty to the Escrow Agent’s sole
satisfaction, by final judgment of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction
or otherwise; or the Escrow Agent, at its sole option, may deposit the Note

faith on its part.

Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to institute legal
proceedings of any kind.
51

waived any right or remedy it may have either under this Agreement or generally,
unless such waiver be in writing, and no waiver shall be valid unless it is
in
writing, signed by the Escrow Agent, and only to the extent expressly therein
set forth. A waiver by the Escrow Agent under the terms of this Agreement shall
not be construed as a bar to, or waiver of, the same or any other such right
or
remedy which it would otherwise have on any other occasion.
(i) The
Escrow Agent may resign as such hereunder by giving five (5) business days’
written notice thereof to the Executive and the Company. Should the Escrow

(20) days following the effective date of such resignation, at which time (a)
if
the successor escrow agent shall be appointed and written notice thereof
(including the name and address of such successor escrow agent) shall have
been
given to the resigning Escrow Agent by the Company and the Executive, then
the
resigning Escrow Agent shall deliver over to the successor escrow agent the
Note; or (b) if the resigning Escrow Agent shall not have received written
notice signed by the Company and the Executive and a successor escrow agent,
then the resigning Escrow Agent shall promptly deposit the Note with the Clerk
of a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding to which all parties in
interest are joined. Upon the deposit by the Escrow Agent of the Note with
the
Clerk of any court, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further
obligations and released from all liability hereunder. The resigning Escrow

any expenses incurred in connection with its resignation, transfer and delivery
of the Note to a successor escrow agent pursuant to this Section 5(i). Each
substitute Escrow Agent shall thereafter hold the Note received by it pursuant
to the terms of this Note Escrow Agreement and otherwise act hereunder as if

responsibilities hereunder shall terminate upon the deliver of the Note then
held in escrow according to such written instructions or upon such delivery
as
herein provided. This note Escrow Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable
by
the Escrow Agent without the prior written consent of the Executive and the
Company.

or

obligation hereunder to pay any costs or fees associated with such

NON-NEGOTIABLE
PROMISSORY NOTE
THIS
NON-NEGOTIABLE PROMISSORY NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”) AND THE RULES AND
REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER AND MAY NOT, BY ITS TERMS, BE TRANSFERRED
OR
SOLD.
NON-NEGOTIABLE
PROMISSORY NOTE
$250,000.00

|
April

|
FOR
VALUE RECEIVED,
the
undersigned, Power of the Dream Ventures, Inc. f/k/a “Tia
V, Inc.”,
a
Delaware corporation (“Maker”),
hereby promises to pay to Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxxx (“Payee”),
on
April , 2008, except as otherwise set forth herein (the “Maturity
Date”),
the
aggregate principal amount of TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 U.S. DOLLARS
(U.S.
$250,000.00), such amount, together with the amount of any interest that has
accrued and been added thereto in accordance with the terms of this
Non-Negotiable Promissory Note (the “Note”),
being
referred to herein as the “Principal
Amount.”
The
entire outstanding Principal Amount and all accrued but unpaid interest
represented by this Note to date shall be repaid in full by Maker on the
Maturity Date, unless this Note is earlier prepaid in accordance with the terms
hereof.
1.
|
Interest.
Interest on the outstanding Principal Amount shall accrue daily at
the
rate of <>% per annum, which rate of interest was equal to the prime
rate,
as reported by the Wall Street Journal's bank survey on April , 2007,
from
the date on which the Principal Amount has first been loaned to Maker,
through and including the date on which such Principal Amount is
paid in
full. All computations of interest payable under this Note shall
be made
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 360.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Note, if the rate of interest
payable hereunder is limited by law, the rate payable hereunder shall
be
the lesser of: (a) the rate set forth in this Note and (b) the maximum
rate permitted by law. If, however, interest is accrued or paid hereunder
in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by law, any interest
so accrued or paid which exceeds such maximum rate shall automatically
be
considered a payment of principal and shall automatically be applied
in
reduction of principal due on this Note to the extent of such excess.
|
2.
|
Payment.
All payments of interest and principal hereunder shall be made in
lawful
money of the United States of America by wire transfer to such account
as
Payee may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to Maker
or,
if no such account has been designated, at the business address of
Payee.
All payments hereunder shall be applied first
to
any unpaid accrued interest, second
to
payment of all, if any, other amounts except principal due under
or in
respect of this Note, and third
to
repayment of the unpaid Principal Amount.
|
3.
|
Non-Negotiable.
This Note is non-negotiable and may not be sold, assigned, pledged,
hypothecated, or transferred in any manner, in whole or in part,
nor shall
any interest herein be granted to any third
party.
|
4.
|
Prepayment.
Maker shall have no right to prepay, redeem or otherwise acquire
this Note
prior to the Maturity Date, other than with Payee’s prior written consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Maker shall be obligated to prepay
the
Principal Amount of this Note upon the closing of any financing,
whether
debt or equity (or a combination thereof) resulting in gross proceeds
of
no less than $3,000,000.
|
5.
|
Waiver
of Presentment, Etc.
Maker hereby, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
waives
presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices
in
connection with delivery, acceptance, performance, default, acceleration
or enforcement of or under this Note.
|
54
6.
|
Amendment.
This Note may not be amended or modified except in a writing signed
by
both parties.
|
7.
|
Waiver.
Except as expressly provided herein, no waiver of any provision of
this
Note shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making
the
waiver. The failure of Payee to exercise any of its rights, remedies,
powers or privileges hereunder in any instance will not constitute
a
waiver thereof, or of any other right or remedy, and no single or
partial
exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy. No waiver of any
provision of this Note shall be deemed to, or shall, operate as a
waiver
of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver
constitute a continuing waiver.
|
8.
|
Collection
Costs.
Maker will pay on demand all costs of collection, including all court
costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred by Payee in
enforcing this Note after an Event of Default has occurred.
|
9.
|
Governing
Law. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal
laws of
the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law
or
conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York
or any
other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws
of any
jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Maker hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of New York, for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives,
and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that
it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
that
such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum
or
that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Maker
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents
to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing
a
copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it
under
this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained
herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in
any
manner permitted by law. MAKER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO
REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER
OR IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
|
10.
|
Entire
Agreement.
This Note embodies the entire agreement of the parties hereto with
respect
to the subject matter of this Note and supersedes all prior agreements
with respect to its subject matter.
|
11.
|
Severability.
If one or more of the provisions of this Note should for any reason
be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provisions of this Note, and this Note shall be construed as if such
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein.
