(3) CONVERSION OF NOTE. This Note shall be convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (3).
(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the limitations of Section (3)(c), at any time or from time to time, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any all or any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Principal, Interest, or other amounts outstanding under this Note into fully paid and nonassessable Class A Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section (3)(b), at the Conversion Price. The number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section (3)(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a Class A Ordinary Share upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Class A Ordinary Shares, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Class A Ordinary Shares up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Class A Ordinary Shares upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.
(b) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Optional Conversion by Holder. At the election of the Holder, all or a portion of the principal amount of the Notes (together with all accrued but unpaid interest on such amount) will convert into Class A Ordinary Shares at a valuation based on a price per Class A Ordinary Share equal to the greater of (i) US $2.40 per Class A Ordinary Share, as the same may from time to time be adjusted pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof and (ii) the per share price (the “Series B Price”) payable by the holders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Shares for the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice (as defined below) as determined by Section 2.9 (c) of the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Articles of Association (the “Conversion Price”). There shall be no automatic reduction in the Conversion Price based on the passage of time.
Page 4 of 17
(ii) Conversion Upon Maturity. To convert into Class A Ordinary Shares (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section (3)(b)(iv), surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Class A Ordinary Shares and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Class A Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Class A Ordinary Shares upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.
(iii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of an email copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Class A Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Class A Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and at the Holder’s election, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for the Class A Ordinary Shares so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Class A Ordinary Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Class A Ordinary Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Class A Ordinary Shares multiplied by (B) the applicable Conversion Price.
(iv) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

(c) Limitations on Conversions.
(i) Principal Market Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, if the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares upon conversion of this Note, or otherwise, including any Class A Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the NPA and with any other related transactions that may be considered part of the same series of transactions, would exceed the aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares that the Company may issue in a transaction without a stockholder vote in compliance with the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (such aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Exchange Cap”, and such event, the “Exchange Cap Event”), the Company shall instead issue to the Holder (A) such number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Cap, minus (B) one Class A Ordinary Share in respect of such conversion, and any Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest thereon and any other amounts outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Note in respect of the Conversion Amount that was not converted in such conversion, shall remain outstanding hereunder unless and until the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with this Note and the rules of the Principal Market. The Company will continuously maintain the listing and trading of its Class A Ordinary Shares on the Principal Market and shall comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market.
(ii) The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to Section (3) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after conversion as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons (as defined below) acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon convert of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Class A Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (i) convert of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Class A Ordinary Share Equivalents (“ Class A Ordinary Share Equivalents” means any securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, preference shares, right, option, warrant, or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Ordinary Shares,)) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section (3)(c)(ii), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section (3)(c)(ii) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for any error made by the Holder or any other Person. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section (3)(c)(ii), in determining the number of issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Class A Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding. In any case, the number of issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(3)(c)(ii), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section (3)(c)(ii) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(c)(ii) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

(d) Adjusted Conversion Price. The “Adjusted Conversion Price” shall be determined as follows (provided, however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price be adjusted to less than the greater of (x) the Series B Price and (y) the Floor Price:
(i) If the Company, at any time after the Issue Date and while this Note is outstanding: (x) subdivides outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (y) combines (including by way of consolidation) outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares or (z) issues by reclassification of Class A Ordinary Shares any shares of the Company, then in each case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which (1) the numerator shall be the number of Class A Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and (2) the denominator shall be the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section (3)(d)(i) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the applicable event described in clauses (x) through (z) above.
(ii) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(d)(i) above, if the Company grants, issues or sells any Class A Ordinary Share Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to receive such Class A Ordinary Share Equivalents or acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the holder could have acquired as if the holder had held the number of Class A Ordinary Shares convertible from this Note held by the Holder (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Class A Ordinary Share Equivalents or Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Class A Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Class A Ordinary Share Equivalents or Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the holder exceeding the Exchange Cap, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Class A Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Exchange Cap.
(iii) For a period (a) commencing on the Issuance Date and (b) ending on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the registration with the Commission of the resale of the Underlying Shares, if the Company issues or sells any securities, including options, warrants or convertible securities at a price of or with an exercise or conversion price of, or an exchange at, less than the Conversion Price, then upon such issuance or sale, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the sale price or the exercise or conversion price of the securities issued or sold; provided, however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price be adjusted to less than the greater of (x) the Series B Price and (y) the Floor Price; provided, further, that if the Conversion Price is reduced as the result of the issuance of convertible or derivative securities, and all of such convertible or derivative securities lapse without the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares, then the Conversion Price shall be re-adjusted to what it would be but for the issuance of the convertible or derivative securities. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section (3)(d)(iii), the Company shall promptly give notice to the Holder setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment (the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section (3)(d)(iii), upon the occurrence of any such dilutive issuance or other reduction of the Conversion Price, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Class A Ordinary Shares based upon the reduced Conversion Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Conversion Price in the Conversion Notice. In order to comply with the Designated Stock Exchange Rules, in no event shall the adjusted Conversion Price in this Section 3(d)(iii) be below the Floor Price.
(iv) On the Conversion Date, the portion of this Note converted shall automatically be re-designated and re-classified (or in such other manner as the Directors may direct that is not in contravention of applicable laws) as the applicable Class A Ordinary Shares with such rights and restrictions attached thereto and shall rank pari passu in all respects with the Class A Ordinary Shares then in issue and the Company shall enter or procure the entry of the name of the Holder of the corresponding number of Class A Ordinary Shares resulting from the conversion of this Note in, and make any other necessary and consequential changes to, the register of members.

(e) Other Provisions.
(i) All calculations under this Section (3) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001 or whole share.
(ii) So long as this Note remains outstanding, the Company shall have reserved from its duly authorized share capital, and shall have instructed its transfer agent to irrevocably reserve, the maximum number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) this Note and is convertible at the Floor Price as of the date of determination and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Note set forth herein) (the “Required Reserve Amount”), provided that at no time shall the number of Class A Ordinary Shares reserved pursuant to this Section (3)(e)(ii) be reduced other than proportionally with respect to all Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with any conversion (other than pursuant to the conversion of this Note in accordance with its terms) and/or cancellation, or reverse stock split. If at any time the number of Class A Ordinary Shares authorized but unissued and not otherwise reserved for issuance (including (i) in relation to equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or that can be settled in Class A Ordinary Shares (other than the Note) and (ii) Class A Ordinary Shares remaining available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans) is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to propose to a meeting of shareholders an increase of its authorized share capital necessary to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Note, recommending that shareholders vote in favor of such an increase. If (A) at any time the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that remain available for issuance under the Exchange Cap is less than 100% of the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of all amounts outstanding under this Note (assuming for purposes hereof that the Note is convertible at the Floor Price then in effect) or (B) an Exchange Cap Event occurs (the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares in excess of the Exchange Cap in (A) or (B), “Excess Share Issuance”), the Company will use reasonable best efforts to promptly call and hold a shareholder meeting for the purpose of seeking the approval of its shareholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market, for the Excess Share Issuance. If shareholder approval for the Excess Share Issuance is not received at such shareholder meeting, the Company shall hold a new shareholder meeting for the purpose of seeking the approval of its shareholders for the Excess Share Issuance within 60 calendar days of the prior shareholder meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, this obligation to hold shareholder meetings shall continue until shareholder approval is received for the Excess Share Issuance. The Company covenants that, upon issuance in accordance with conversion of this Note in accordance with its terms, the Class A Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The Company Parties shall only use the proceeds of the issuance of this Note for general corporate and working capital purposes (which may include, without limitation, strategic investments and/or transactions), and shall not use such proceeds: (A) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (B) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (C) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.

(iv) Legal Opinions. The Company is obligated to cause its legal counsel to deliver legal opinions to the Company’s transfer agent in connection with any legend removal upon the expiration of any holding period or other requirement for which the Underlying Shares may bear legends restricting the transfer thereof. To the extent that a legal opinion is not provided (either timely or at all), then, in addition to being an Event of Default hereunder, the Company agrees to reimburse the Holder for all reasonable costs incurred by the Holder in connection with any legal opinions paid for by the Holder in connection with sale or transfer of Underlying Shares. The Holder shall notify the Company in writing of any such costs and expenses it incurs that are referred to in this Section from time to time and all amounts owed hereunder shall be paid by the Company with reasonable promptness.
(f) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Class A Ordinary Shares. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on Class A Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Class A Ordinary Shares, (b) subdivide outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of Class A Ordinary Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced.
(g) Notice of Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section (3)(d) hereof, the Company shall promptly provide the Holder with a written notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(h) Sale of the Company. In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions, the Holder shall have the right to (A) convert the aggregate amount of this Note then outstanding into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Class A Ordinary Shares following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the Class A Ordinary Shares into which such aggregate Principal amount of this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been entitled, or (B) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity to issue to the Holder a convertible Note with a Principal amount equal to the aggregate Principal amount of this Note then held by the Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid Interest and other amounts owing thereon, which such newly-issued convertible Note shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Note, and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Note set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Note was issued. In the case of clause (B), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible debentures shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each Class A Ordinary Share would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.
(4) Covenants.

(9) CHOICE OF LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
(a) Governing Law.

(b) Jurisdiction; Venue; Service.

(ii) The Company agrees that venue shall be proper in any court of the Governing Jurisdiction selected by the Holder or, if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists, in any United States District Court in the Governing Jurisdiction.

Page 12 of 17
(iii) Any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, brought by the Company against the Holder arising out of or based upon this Note or any matter relating to this Note, or any other Transaction Document, or any contemplated transaction, shall be brought in a court only in the Governing Jurisdiction. The Company shall not file any counterclaim against the Holder in any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding brought by the Holder against the Company in a jurisdiction outside of the Governing Jurisdiction unless under the rules of the court in which the Holder brought such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding the counterclaim is mandatory, and not permissive, and would be considered waived unless filed as a counterclaim in the suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding instituted by the Holder against the Company. The Company agrees that any forum outside the Governing Jurisdiction is an inconvenient forum and that any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding brought by the Company against the Holder in any court outside the Governing Jurisdiction should be dismissed or transferred to a court located in the Governing Jurisdiction. Furthermore, the Company irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not bring or commence any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Holder arising out of or based upon this Note or any matter relating to this Note, or any other Transaction Document, or any contemplated transaction, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State Court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. The Company and the Holder agree that a final judgment in any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(iv) The Company and the Holder irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, to it at the address provided for notices in this Note, such service to become effective thirty (30) days after the date of mailing.
(v) Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Holder to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or to otherwise proceed against the Company or any other Person in the Governing Jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction.
(c) THE PARTIES MUTUALLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS NOTE OR ANY MATTER RELATING TO THIS NOTE, OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A WAIVER OF A LEGAL RIGHT AND THAT THE PARTIES EACH MAKE THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY AFTER CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CHOICE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL SUCH CLAIMS SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE OF A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION, WITHOUT A JURY.
(10) If the Company fails to strictly comply with the terms of this Note and/or any other Transaction Document, then the Company shall reimburse the Holder promptly for all fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Holder in any action in connection with this Note, including, without limitation, those incurred: (i) during any workout, attempted workout, and/or in connection with the rendering of legal advice as to the Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations, (ii) collecting any sums which become due to the Holder, (iii) defending or prosecuting any proceeding or any counterclaim to any proceeding or appeal; or (iv) the protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights or remedies of the Holder.
(11) Any waiver by the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in writing.
Page 13 of 17
(12) If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the Principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
