6.          Default. The existence or occurrence of any one or more of the following will constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:

 

6.1       Non-Performance. Company’s failure to comply timely and fully with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, including, without limitation, the failure to pay all amounts due within ten (10) days after the due date.

7.           Representations and Warranties of Company. Company represents and warrants to Lender, which representations and warranties shall be deemed to be repeated or confirmed upon each request for an advance hereunder, that: (a) Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has full power, authority, and legal right to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged; (b) Company has full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Note, and has taken all necessary corporate and legal action to authorize the borrowing evidenced hereby on the terms and conditions of this Note, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Note and the performance of its obligations hereunder; (c) this Note constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Company enforceable in accordance with its terms; (d) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Note, and the use of the proceeds of the borrowings evidenced hereby, will not violate any provision of any law or regulation or of any judgment, order, decree, determination, or award of any court, arbitrator, or government authority, or of the charter or bylaws or other corporate rules of Company or of any other loan or security agreement, lease, contract, or other agreement, instrument, or undertaking to which Company is a party or which purports to be binding upon it or any of its property or assets.

 

8.          Acceleration. In addition to all other rights and remedies at law and/or equity Lender may have if an Event of Default occurs, Lender may, at its option without further notice to Company, declare immediately due and payable the unpaid principal balance of this Note together with all other sums owed by Company under this Note.

 

9.          Notices. All notices that Company or Lender is required or permitted to give under this Note shall be delivered to the addresses of Company or Lender set forth in the opening paragraph.

 

10.        Severability. If any term or provision of this Note is, to any extent, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Note will not be affected, and the invalid or enforceable term or provision will be reduced or otherwise modified by the court or authority only to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. If any term or provision cannot be reduced or modified to make it reasonable and permit its enforcement, it will be severed from this Note and the remaining terms will be interpreted in a way as to give maximum validity and enforceability to this Note. It is the intention of Company that, if any provision of this Note is capable of two constructions, one of which would render the provisions void and the other of which would render the provisions valid, then the provision will have the meaning that renders it valid.

16.          No Waiver by Lender. No delay or failure of Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall affect such right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude further exercise thereof.
