Any payment made by the Payor in connection with the Note for an amount less than the total amount due and payable at the time such payment is made shall not imply a waiver by the Payee to exercise its right to bring any action against the Payor unless the Payee shall have consented to such waiver in writing.

Payment of the principal amount and interest due under this Note shall be made on the Maturity Date. If the Payor fails to pay any amount under the Note when due, the Payee shall be entitled to accelerate and require payment of the entire principal amount due under this Note, plus accrued compensatory and default interest until payment in full.

(b)       if default shall be made in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or provision to be performed or observed by Payor under this Note;

(d)        if any indebtedness (other than this Note) of Payor or any its subsidiaries shall be declared to be (or shall become) due and payable, or required to be prepaid other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment, prior to the stated maturity thereof, provided that it shall not be an Event of Default under this Section 3(d) unless the aggregate principal amount of all such indebtedness is at least $100,000;
 
then, and in each and every such case, Payee may declare the principal amount to be immediately due and payable and thereupon, if such Event of Default is not remedied or cured within (i) five (5) days with respect to an Event of Default under subsections (a) and (d) above, and (ii) thirty (30) days with respect to an Event of Default under subsection (b) above, in each case after notice thereof to Payor by Payee, such amounts shall become so due and payable without presentation, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and Payee shall be entitled to receive, to the extent lawful, reasonable attorneys’ fees for the collection of such amounts; provided that if an Event of Default under subsection (c) above shall occur with respect to Payor or any of its subsidiaries, this Note shall automatically become immediately due and payable without the giving of any such notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, there are no other costs or expenses associated with the Note. If the principal amount of this Note is not paid in full when due, Payor promises to pay default interest at an additional effective rate of 4% per annum in addition to the compensatory interest described above. Interest shall accrue without any c ourt or out-of-court order or any intimation from the date on which default has occurred to the date of payment thereof in full, plus legal costs, fees, court costs and any extra expenses incurred by the Payee as a consequence of Payor’s default.

2.   Payments. All payments hereunder shall be made at the address of Payee set forth herein or at such other place as Payee may, from time to time, designate. This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time by Payor without premium or penalty.

In the event that the Payor is required to deduct or withhold any tax in connection with the payment of principal, interest or any other amount paid under this Note, (i) the amount to be paid shall be increased by the amount required so that after making the deductions, the Payee receives an amount equal to such the amount the Payee would be entitled to receive as if there were no legal obligation to make any such deductions, (ii) the Payor shall make all required deductions under applicable law, and (iii) the Payor shall pay promptly to the tax authority or appropriate governmental authority the total amount of the deduction made, as provided by applicable law.
 
 
 
 

 
 
Any payment made by the Payor in connection with the Note for an amount less than the total amount due and payable at the time such payment is made shall not imply a waiver by the Payee to exercise its right to bring any action against the Payor unless the Payee shall have consented to such waiver in writing.

Payment of the principal amount and interest due under this Note shall be made on the Maturity Date. If the Payor fails to pay any amount under the Note when due, the Payee shall be entitled to accelerate and require payment of the entire principal amount due under this Note, plus accrued compensatory and default interest until payment in full.

   (d)    if any indebtedness (other than this Note) of Payor or any its subsidiaries shall be declared to be (or shall become) due and payable, or required to be prepaid other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment, prior to the stated maturity thereof, provided that it shall not be an Event of Default under this Section 3(d) unless the aggregate principal amount of all such indebtedness is at least $100,000;
