Interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of the Principal Amount at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”). All interest payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and shall be due and payable on the Payment Date.
Maker shall have the right to prepay all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon at any time without penalty or premium. All payments hereunder when paid shall be applied first to the payment of all accrued interest and the balance shall be applied to principal.
At any time, Payee shall have the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon into shares of Maker’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock under the terms and provisions as set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, the total liability of Maker for payment of interest pursuant hereto, including late charges, shall not exceed the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law to be charged, collected, or received from Maker, and if any payments by Maker include interest in excess of such a maximum amount, Payee shall apply such excess to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount due pursuant hereto, or if none is due, such excess shall be refunded.
1. Events of Default. In case one or more of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”) (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) shall have occurred and be continuing:
a. Default in the payment, when due or declared due, of any principal or interest payments hereunder.
b. Maker makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or, in the absence of such application, consent, acquiescence or action, a trustee, receiver or other custodian is appointed for Maker; or for a substantial part of the property of Maker; or any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or other proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution or liquidation proceeding, is authorized or instituted by, or instituted against, Maker; or any warrant of attachment or similar legal process is issued against any substantial part of the property of Maker.
then, in each case where an Event of Default occurs, the Payee, by notice in writing to Maker shall inform Maker of such Event of Default and if such default is not cured within ten business days from the date such notice is received by Maker, then Payee, may, at its option, declare the outstanding Principal Amount to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.
