Default Interest. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay additional
interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note in an amount equal
to two percent (2%) per month, and all outstanding Obligations, including
unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest at such additional interest
rate from the date of such Event of Default until the date such Event of

3.3
Default Payment. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the

Holder under the Security Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements and all
obligations and liabilities of each Company under the Security Agreement and
the other Ancillary Agreements, to require the Companies, jointly and
severally, to make a Default Payment (“Default Payment”) due
and payable within ten days after written notice from the Holder to the Company
(“Default Notice Period”) of an Event of Default. If during
the Default Notice Period, the Company cures the Event of Default, the Event of
Default will no longer exist and any rights the Holder had pertaining to the
Event of Default will no longer exist. If after the Default Notice Period, the
Event of Default has not been cured, the Default Payment shall be immediately
due and payable in an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the
outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, all
other fees then remaining unpaid, and all other amounts payable hereunder. The
