Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the $
o 8% Senior Secured
Promissory Note due March 6, 2009, issued on or about March 6, 2007
(together the “Notes”) from NaturalNano, Inc. and
NaturalNano Research, Inc. (jointly and severally, the
“Borrower”) to [Lender] (the “Lender”).
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have
the respective meanings given in the Notes.
As of the date hereof, the principal
amount of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is $
o , plus interest accruing on
and after the date hereof at rate set forth in the Notes. The
Borrower has requested that the Lender forbear from exercising its
various rights and remedies under the Notes and other related
documents (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) that may
otherwise be exercised by the Lender on the maturity date of the
Notes (March 6, 2009) (the “Maturity Date”), in order
to provide the Borrower with additional time during which it may
resolve its current financial problems.
The Lender is prepared to forbear
from demanding payment of principal on the Notes on the Maturity
Date of the Notes, or taking any other action to collect the
principal amount of the Notes due on the Maturity Date until the
earlier of January 31, 2010 (unless extended by the Lender in its
discretion) or the termination of the Forbearance Period pursuant
to the terms of this Letter Agreement (such period, the
“Forbearance Period”), provided the Borrower accepts
and agrees to the terms, conditions and covenants set forth herein,
and communicates such acceptance (by delivering a signed copy of
this Letter Agreement) to the Lender no later than 5:00 p.m. on
September 29, 2008; provided further it is understood that Borrower
is obligated to make all interest payments required under the Notes
during the Forbearance Period.
Upon execution by the Borrower, this
letter shall be a binding agreement among the respective parties
hereto (referred to as the “Letter
Agreement”).
By its execution, the Borrower
represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
1. No
Duress. The Borrower has freely
and voluntarily entered into this Letter Agreement after an
adequate opportunity to review and discuss the terms and conditions
and all
factual and legal matters relevant
hereto with counsel freely and independently chosen by it and this
Letter Agreement is being executed without fraud, duress, undue
influence or coercion of any kind or nature whatsoever having been
exerted by or imposed upon any party.
2. Amount
Due. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that,
excluding any Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower pursuant to the
Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2008, as of
the date hereof, pursuant to the Notes and the other Loan
Documents, the Borrower owes the Lender $
o (the “Outstanding
Amount”). The Borrower shall also be responsible for
reimbursing the Lender for all costs and expenses, including the
fees and expenses of legal counsel that may be incurred in
connection with the enforcement of this Letter Agreement, which, if
incurred, shall be added to the Outstanding Amount. The Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the Outstanding Amount (as reduced by
payments made pursuant hereto), plus interest accrued thereon,
shall be due and owing upon termination of the Forbearance
Period.
3. No
Defenses. The Borrower has no defenses, affirmative or
otherwise, rights of setoff, rights of recoupment, claims,
counterclaims, or causes of action of any kind or nature
