Further, any disposition of the shares of the Company’s common stock may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with this exemption and may make the holder who disposes of such stock an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. It is understood that the definition of “underwriter” focuses upon the concept of “distribution” and that any subsequent disposition of the subject common stock can only be effected in transactions that are not considered distributions

(b) Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the shares of the Company’s common stock must be held and may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or an exemption from such registration is available. The Company is under no obligation to register its common stock under the Act. Further, if Rule 144 is available only routine sales of the Company’s common stock in limited amounts can be made in reliance upon Rule 144 in accordance with the terms and conditions of that rule.
(c) The certificate(s) representing the shares of the Company’s common stock will bear a legend in substantially the following form so restricting the sale of such securities:
The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The securities have been acquired for investment and may not be sold or transferred without complying with Rule 144 in the absence of an effective registration or other compliance under the Securities Act.

i. any Bankruptcy Default, the unpaid principal balance of the Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon at that time outstanding automatically shall mature and become due, and
ii. any other Event of Default, Holder, at any time, at its option, and without notice or demand, may declare the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, due and payable, whereupon such amounts immediately shall mature and become due and payable, all without presentment, protest or notice, all of which hereby are waived.
(c) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Holder, at its option, may enforce or cause to be enforced any of the rights or remedies accorded to Holder at equity or law, by virtue of this Note, by statute or otherwise.

8. Miscellaneous.
(a) Waivers. Borrower expressly hereby waives presentment for payment, protest and demand and notice of protest, demand, dishonor, nonpayment, intent to accelerate and acceleration of this Note, and expressly agrees that this Note, or any payment hereunder, may be extended from time to time before, at or after maturity, without in any way affecting the liability of Borrower.
(b) Modifications. This Note may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change or amendment is sought.
(c) Assignment. Subject to restrictions on resale imposed by state and federal securities laws, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may assign this Note or any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, to any person or entity so long as such assignee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Note. Effective upon any such assignment, the person or entity to whom such rights, interests and obligations are assigned shall have and exercise all of Holder’s rights, interests and obligations hereunder as if such person or entity were the original holder of this Note.
(d) Severability. Every provision of this Note is intended to be severable. If any term or provision hereof is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the balance of the terms and provisions hereof, which shall remain binding and enforceable to the Company and the Holder.

In lieu of any fractional shares to which Holder otherwise would be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by such fraction.

This Note shall be binding on any successor or assign of the Company.
(g) Compliance With Usury Laws. The Company and Holder intend to comply with all applicable usury laws. In fulfilling this intention, all agreements between the Company and Holder are expressly limited so that the amount of interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention of money under this Note shall not exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.
| 4 |
If for any reason the law shall prohibit a payment of any amount required under this Note, then the obligation shall be reduced to the maximum allowable by such law. If for any reason Holder receives as interest an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, then the amount that would constitute excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal of this Note and not to the payment of interest. If any conflict arises between this provision and any provision of any other agreement between the Company and Holder, then this provision shall control.
(h) Legal Representation. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees and represents that such party has been represented by such party’s own legal counsel with regard to all aspects of this Note, or if such party is acting without legal counsel, that such party has had adequate opportunity and has been encouraged to seek the advice of such party’s own legal counsel prior to the execution of this Agreement.
(i) Restrictions. Holder acknowledges that all shares of common stock acquired upon the Conversion of this Note shall be subject to restrictions on resale imposed by applicable state and federal securities laws.
