Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, the Company has not received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person.

There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.

 

11
 

  

x) Inventory. All inventory of the Company consists of a quality and quantity usable and salable in the ordinary course of business, except for obsolete items and items of below-standard quality, all of which have been or will be written off or written down to net realizable value on the audited balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2013.

13
 

 

b) Procedure.

 

(1) The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any claim, demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought under this Agreement; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 7 except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

 

(2) In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable, good-faith judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified party), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense (but not control) with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense (except that the indemnifying party shall remain responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified party in the event in the reasonable, good-faith judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party exists).

 

(3) In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be Losses subject to indemnification hereunder.

 

14
 

 

(4) The parties shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim and shall furnish to the other party all information reasonably available to such party which relates to such action or claim. Each party shall keep the other party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.

 

(5) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by this Section 7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when the Loss is incurred, so long as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

c) Reimbursement. If any Lender becomes involved in any capacity in any proceeding by or against any Person who is a debtholder or stockholder of the Company (except as a result of sales, pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by such Lender to or with any other holder), solely as a result of such Lender's acquisition of the Amended Note from the Company under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse such Lender for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliates of the Lender who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Lenders and any such affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Lender and any such affiliate and any such Person. The Company also agrees that neither the Lender nor any such affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company solely as a result of acquiring the Amended Note under this Agreement.

CERTAIN CAPITALIZED AND OTHER TERMS USED IN THIS NOTE ARE DEFINED IN SCHEDULE A HERETO.

2.                  Maturity Date. The entire principal amount of this note (the “Note”) together with all accrued, unpaid interest shall be payable in full on June 30, 2014 (the “Initial Maturity Date”); provided, however, the maturity date may be extended by the Company to June 30, 2015 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”) if all interest accruing during the period from the Effective Date to the Initial Maturity Date is paid prior to June 30, 2014 and may be extended again by the Company to June 30, 2016 (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”) if all interest accruing through the First Extended Maturity Date is paid prior to June 30, 2015.

 

3.                  Interest Rate. Interest on the principal amount (or any balance thereof) outstanding from time to time under this Note shall begin to accrue on the Effective Date and shall accrue at a fixed rate per year equal to six percent (6.00%); provided, however, interest shall accrue at a fixed rate per year equal to nine percent (9.0%) during the period from the Initial Maturity Date to the First Extended Maturity Date, if extended, and interest shall accrue at a fixed rate per year equal to twelve percent (12.0%) during the period from the First Extended Maturity Date to the Second Extended Maturity Date, if further extended (in each case, computed on the basis of a 360-day year) (the “Interest Rate”).

 

4.                  Principal and Interest Payments.

 

a.                   Principal and Interest Payments.

c.                   Maximum Amount of Interest. Nothing herein, nor any transaction related hereto, shall be construed to operate so as to require the Company to pay interest at a greater rate than shall be lawful. Should any interest or other charges paid by the Company in connection with the loan evidenced by this Note result in computation or earning of interest in excess of the maximum contract rate of interest which is legally permitted under applicable law or federal preemption statute, then any and all such excess is hereby waived by the Holder and shall be automatically credited against and in reduction of the balance due hereunder, and any portion which exceeds such balance shall be paid by the Holder to the Company.
