Section 4. Conversion.
a) Voluntary Conversion. At any time following the Original Issue Date and until payment hereof in full (including interest), this Note shall be convertible into Note Shares at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the
principal amount of the Note and interest thereon to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is received hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Note to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any Late Fees, has been so converted or paid in full by the Company. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable amount of principal converted. The Holder and the Company shall
maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Conversion promptly, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. Conversion Notices shall be irrevocable after five (5) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of such notice.
b) Conversion Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to the lower of (i) the Original Conversion Price or (ii) a price which is equal to the lowest VWAP for any five (5) consecutive Trading Day period ending on or prior to March 31, 2011, in each case subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 below (the “Conversion Price”).
6
c) Mechanics of Conversion.
i. Note Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The number of shares of Note Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted (plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any Late Fees, if applicable) by (y) the Conversion Price.
ii. Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than five (5) Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of Note Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note or a portion of this Note.
iii. Reservation of Certificates. Certificates for the Note Shares issued upon conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such
certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
iv. Failure to Deliver Certificates. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder the Note (if previously delivered to the Company) and the outstanding principal amount and amount of any accrued but unpaid interest,
penalties or Late Fees shall be automatically, without notice, restored as though the Holder had not delivered such Conversion Notice, and the Holder shall promptly return the Common Stock certificates representing the principal amount of this Note tendered for conversion to the Company.
v. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note and the payment of interest on this Note, if applicable, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Modification Agreement) be issuable (taking
into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if one or more registration statements covering the Note Shares are then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public sale in accordance with such registration statements.
7
vi. No Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue fractions of a share or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Note. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would be issuable on the conversion of the Note (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay to the Holder a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction, equal to the value of such fraction based on the then Conversion Price.
vii. Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates,.
Section 5. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding shall: (A) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Note), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue, by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
8
b) Subsequent Equity Issuance.
i. In the event the Company shall, at any time after the Original Issue Date and prior to June 30, 2011, sell and issue (i) any shares of Common Stock or (ii) any securities of the Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”), in each case
at an issuance, exercise or conversion price per share, as the case may be, less than the then Conversion Price (such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, subject to Section 5(b)(ii) below, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with the closing of such Dilutive Issuance (the “Dilutive Issuance Closing”), to an amount equal to the issuance, exercise or conversion price per share, as the case may be, applicable to such Dilutive Issuance (but in no event reduced to an amount less than One and 75/100 Dollars ($1.75) (subject to adjustment for any stock dividends and/or stock splits in the same manner as provided in Section 5(a) above with
respect to adjustments to the Conversion Price) (the “Dilutive Issuance Fully Adjusted Conversion Price”). Such adjustment shall be made whenever a Dilutive Issuance occurs.
ii. If an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) above would cause the stockholder approval requirements of Rule 5635 of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules to apply to the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to the applicable Dilutive Issuance, then the Company may elect, upon prior written notice to Holder and the Company’s payment to Holder of the Rule 5635 Election Payment (as defined below) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Holder concurrently with the closing of such Dilutive Issuance, to cause the Conversion
Price to be reduced to the lowest price which would not cause the stockholder approval requirements of Rule 5635 of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules to apply to the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to such Dilutive Issuance (the “Rule 5635 Adjusted Conversion Price”). “Rule 5635 Election Payment” shall mean an amount equal to the product of (A) the VWAP for the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the date of the applicable Dilutive Issuance Closing multiplied by (B) the difference of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued to Holder if Holder converted the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest earned thereon, on the date of the applicable
Dilutive Issuance Closing (assuming a conversion price equal to the Dilutive Issuance Fully Adjusted Conversion Price) less (y) the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued to Holder if Holder converted the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest earned thereon, on the date of the applicable Dilutive Issuance Closing (assuming a conversion price equal to the Rule 5635 Adjusted Conversion Price).
9
iii. A Dilutive Issuance shall not include: (a) shares of Common Stock issued to employees, officers, directors or consultants (other than any consultant which engages in any business which is competitive with or provides any services which are similar to the business of or services provided by Holder or any of its Affiliates (as determined at the time of the Dilutive Issuance) of the Company, (b) securities issued upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued and outstanding on the date hereof, or (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions.
c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the aggregate number of issued and to be converted shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding.
d) Notice to the Holder.
i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by the Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party (other than a merger for the sole purpose of changing the Company’s state of incorporation to Delaware), any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at the Holder’s last address appearing on the stock books of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange or other applicable transaction is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein
or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to convert this Note during the period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.
10
e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person where the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger for the sole purpose of changing the Company’s state of incorporation to Delaware), (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Note Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the
“Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental
Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new Note consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to convert such Note into Alternate Consideration. The Company will utilize its best efforts to ensure that terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. Failure to obtain such terms by the Company shall not cause an Event of Default and the Holder shall then be required to convert in
accordance with the terms of the Fundamental Transaction.

No provision of this Note will be deemed waived by the Holder, unless waived in a writing executed by the Holder, which expressly refers to this Note, and no such waiver shall be implied from any act or conduct of the Holder, or any omission by the Holder to take action with respect to any provision of this Note. No such express written waiver shall affect any other provision of this Note, or cover any default or time period or event, other than the matter to which an express written waiver has been given.
13
b) Waiver of Statute of Limitations. The Company further waives and renounces for itself, its successors and assigns, all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshalling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, or exemption and homestead laws now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, by the laws of the United States and the State of California against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note.
c) Waiver of Presentment. All parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether the Company, principal, surety, guarantor, endorsee or otherwise hereby severally waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest. No failure to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, acceptance of a past due installment following the expiration of any cure period provided by this Note or applicable law, or indulgences granted from time to time shall be construed (i) as a novation of this Note or as a reinstatement of
the indebtedness evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of the Holder thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (ii) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by the laws of the State of California. The Company hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.
Section 9. Miscellaneous.
a) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder hereunder, including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered either personally, by facsimile or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company at the address set forth above, facsimile number (000) 000-0000, Attn: Chief Financial Officer or such other address or facsimile number as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holder delivered in accordance with this Section, with any
fax delivery followed up by overnight delivery service. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to the Holder at the facsimile telephone number or address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such facsimile telephone number or address appears, then at the principal place of business of the Holder, if any. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section 9 prior to 5:30 p.m. (Eastern
Standard Time), (ii) the date after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section 9(a) later than 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on such date, (iii) the second Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) if personally delivered, upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
14
b) Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal and interest of this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Note is a direct debt obligation of the Company.
c) Secured Obligation; Priority. The obligations of the Company under the Revolving Credit Note were secured by a security interest in all assets of the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Revolving Credit Note on the terms and conditions of this Note, the Security Agreement and the liens created thereby shall remain in full force and effect and shall secure the obligations of the Company under this Note, with the same priority as immediately prior to the execution
hereof. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that all of the Company's indebtedness and obligations to the Holder evidenced by this Note, are subordinated in right of payment and priority to the Company's indebtedness and obligations evidenced by the Senior Loan Documents.
d) Lost or Mutilated Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Note, a new Note for the principal amount of this Note (as adjusted for any conversions) so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, and indemnity, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory to the
Company.
e) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California (without regard to conflicts of laws), except where federal law is applicable (including, without limitation, any applicable federal usury ceiling or other federal law preempting state usury laws). Any and all actions brought by the Company or Holder under this Note shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in the City of Los Angeles, California (the “California Courts”). The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the California Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents), 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 such California Courts, or such California Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. The Company 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 via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to the Company at the address
in effect for 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 other manner permitted by applicable law. The Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Loan Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
15
f) Time Is of The Essence. The Company agrees that time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof, and hereby consents to any and all renewals, extensions or modifications of the terms hereof, including, without limitation, time for payment, and the Company further agrees that any such renewal, extension or modification, or the release or substitution of any person or security for the indebtedness evidenced hereby, shall not affect the liability of any parties not released in writing by the Holder for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. Any such
renewals, extension, modifications, releases or substitutions may be made without notice to any of such parties.
g) Severability. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Company covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such law as though no such law has been enacted.
h) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
16
i) Headings; Certain Rules of Construction. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Note shall be construed as a whole according to their common meaning, not strictly for or against any party, or any person or entity, who is or may become liable for the payment of this Note, and to achieve the objectives of the parties unconditionally to impose on the Company the indebtedness evidence by this
Note. Whenever the words “including,” “includes” or “include” are used in this Note (including any exhibit hereto), they shall be read non-exclusively as though the phrase “without limitation” immediately followed the same. Unless the context requires otherwise, the singular includes the plural, and vice versa, and the masculine includes the feminine, and neuter adjectives include one another.
j) Amendment. This Note may be modified or amended only by a writing duly executed by the Company and the Holder which expressly refers to this Note and the intent of the parties so to amend this Note.
k) Manner of Payment; No Offsets. All payments due hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. Except as otherwise set forth in this Note, all sums due hereunder shall be payable without offset, demand, abatement or counterclaim of any kind or nature whatsoever, all of which are hereby waived by the Company.
l) No Intent of Usury. None of the terms and provision contained in this Note or in other documents or instruments related hereto, shall ever be construed to create a contact for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest permitted to be charged by application laws or regulation governing this Note. Without limiting the above, this Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall the Company be obligated or required to pay any amount under this Note including any interest on
the principal balance at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate which the Company is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. In determining whether or not the interest or any other amount paid or payable under this Note exceeds the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (i) the Company and the Holder shall to the extent permitted under applicable law characterize any non-principal payment, as a fee, premium or expense rather than interest, and (ii) all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention of the debt, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest.
m) No Impairment. No reference herein to any other agreements between the Holder and the Company and no provision of this Note or such other agreements shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the place, at the time, and in the currency herein prescribed.
17
n) Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Holder as provided in this Note shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or together against the Company or any other Persons who are, or may become liable for all or any part of this indebtedness, and any other funds, property or security held by the Holder for the payment hereof, or otherwise, at the sole discretion of the Holder. Failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as waiver or release of such rights or remedies, or the right to
exercise them at any later time. The right, if any, of the Company, and all other Persons, who are, or may become, liable for this indebtedness, to plead any and all statutes of limitation as a defense is expressly waived by each and all of such parties to the full extent permissible by law.
o) Reimbursement of Collection Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse the Holder, immediately upon written notice from the Holder, all actual costs, expenses, disbursements, charges and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the Holder or its counsel in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Note. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Company agrees to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (whether or not for salaried attorneys regularly employed by the Holder) and all costs of any action
or proceeding (including any bankruptcy proceeding or any non-judicial foreclosure or private sale), in case any payment is not paid when due, or in case it becomes necessary to enforce any other obligation of the Company hereunder, or in the event the Holder is made a party to any litigation because of the existence of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, or any of them.
p) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. The Company shall not assign or otherwise transfer this Note without the prior written consent of the Holder.
q) Execution. This Note may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which when taken together 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, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf
such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
r) Negotiable Instrument. This Note is negotiable.
