Section 2.2 Securities Law Compliance.

 

      (a) The Investor agrees that its Note, Warrant, and the securities

issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, are being acquired for investment and

that such Investor will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of its Note,

Warrant, or any securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, except under

circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of

1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any applicable state securities

laws. Each Note, Warrant and all securities issued upon exercise of the Warrant

(unless registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities

laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following

form:

 

"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS

AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY

NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE

TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE

SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (B) AN EXEMPTION

THEREFROM, AND, IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY, THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION

OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT THE TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE

REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES

LAWS."

 

      (b) Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that its Note, Warrant

and the securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, will not be registered

at the time of their issuance under the Securities Act for the reason that the

sales provided for in this Agreement are exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the

Securities Act based on the representations of the Investor set forth herein.

The Investor represents that it is experienced in evaluating companies such as

the Company, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters

as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, and has

the ability to suffer the total loss of the investment. The Investor further

represents that it has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive

answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of its Note,

Warrant and the business of the Company, and to obtain additional information to

such Investor's satisfaction. All documents, records and books pertaining to the

Company and this investment have been made available to the Investor and its

representatives, including each Investor's attorney and accountant, that the

books and records of the Company will be available upon reasonable notice for

inspection by the Investor during reasonable business hours at the Company's

principal place of business, and the Investor have had access to and the

opportunity to request information from and ask questions of the officers and a

directors of the Company. The Investor further represents that it is an

"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities

Act, as presently in effect. The Investor further represents that the Note and

the Warrant are being acquired for the account of such Investor for investment

only and not with a view to, or with any intention of, a distribution or resale

thereof, in whole or in part, or the grant of any participation therein. If an

Investor is a corporation, business trust, partnership, limited liability

company or other entity, such Investor represents that it was not formed for the

specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered hereby and has total assets

of more than $5,000,000. If an Investor is an individual, such Investor

or joint net worth with spouse, exceeds $1 million at the time of purchase (in

this instance, the term "net worth" means the excess of assets at fair market

value, including home and personal property, over total liabilities, including

mortgages and income taxes on unrealized appreciation of assets); or (B) the

Investor is a natural person who has had individual income of more than $200,000

in each of the two most recent years (2003 and 2004), or joint income with that

person's spouse of more than $300,000 in each of those years, and reasonably

expects to reach the same income level in the current year (2005). (The term

"individual income" means adjusted gross income as reported for federal income

tax purposes, less any income attributable to a spouse or to property owned by a

spouse, increased by the following amounts (excluding any amount attributable to

a spouse or to property owned by a spouse): (1) the amount of any interest

income received which is tax-exempt under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue

Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); (2) the amount of losses claimed as a

partner in a limited partnership (as reported on Schedule E of Form 1040); and

business in, the state listed on the signature page of this Agreement.

independent counsel and tax advisors of Investor's choice in entering into this

Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or has knowingly elected not

to receive such counsel.

 

Section 2.4 No Preferential Treatment. Until all of the Company's obligations

hereunder are paid and performed in full, the Company shall not, without the

prior consent of the Investor, (a) make any payment or other consideration with

respect to any Other Note unless the Company makes the same payment or other

consideration with respect to the Note, pro rata based on the relative principal

amounts of the Note and Other Notes; or (b) amend or waive any provision of any

Other Purchase Agreement, Other Note or Other Warrant that would (i) increase

the interest rate of such Other Note, (ii) shorten the maturity date of such

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$______________                                             __________ __, 2005

 

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, GALAXY NUTRITIONAL FOODS, INC., a

Delaware corporation ("Maker"), promises to pay to the order of _______________

("Payee"; Payee and any subsequent holder[s] hereof are hereinafter referred to

collectively as "Holder"), at the office of Payee at

__________________________________, or at such other place as Holder may

designate to Maker in writing from time to time, the principal sum of

______________________________ AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($_________.00), together

with interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof from the date hereof

at the Interest Rate, in lawful money of the United States. Amounts payable

hereunder shall be paid, at Payee's option as specified by Payee in writing from

time to time, either by (i) check delivered to the office of Payee or (ii) wire

transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Payee in

writing from time to time. This Note is referred to in and issued pursuant to

that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 28,

2005, by and between Payee and Maker (as amended from time to time, the

"Agreement").

 

      The Interest Rate shall be a floating rate calculated at an annual rate

equal to three percent (3.0%) per annum in excess of the Bank Prime Rate of

Interest per the Federal Reserve Bank in effect from time to time, calculated on

the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed, upon the principal balance

hereof from time to time outstanding, but in no event to exceed the Maximum Rate

(as defined below). Each adjustment in the Interest Rate shall be effective on

the day the change in the Bank Prime Rate occurs.

 

      Interest only on the outstanding principal balance hereof shall be due and

payable monthly, in arrears, with the first installment being payable on the

fifteenth (15th) day of October, 2005, and subsequent installments being payable

on the fifteenth (15th) day of each succeeding month thereafter until June 15,

2006 (the "Maturity Date"), at which time the entire outstanding principal

 

<PAGE>

 

balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be immediately due

and payable in full. If any such day is not a business day, such payment shall

be made on the next succeeding day which is a business day and interest shall

continue to accrue thereon until paid. As used herein, "business day" means a

day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, on which commercial banks

in Orlando, Florida are open for the general transaction of business.

 

      The indebtedness evidenced hereby may be prepaid in whole or in part, at

any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty. Any such prepayments

shall be credited first to any accrued and unpaid interest and then to the

outstanding principal balance hereof.

 

      The failure of Maker to pay any principal, interest or any other sums

required hereunder when due under this Note shall constitute a default. If (i) a

default shall occur hereunder and such default shall continue for ten (10) days

after notice thereof is delivered by Holder to Maker, or (ii) an Event of

Default shall occur under the Agreement, which Event of Default is not cured

following the giving of any applicable notice and within any applicable cure

period set forth in the Agreement, then, and in such event, the entire

outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, together

with any other sums advanced hereunder and/or under any other instrument or

document now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the

indebtedness evidenced hereby, together with all unpaid interest accrued

thereon, shall, at the option of Holder and without notice to Maker, at once

become due and payable and may be collected forthwith, regardless of the

stipulated date of maturity. Upon the occurrence of a default as set forth

herein or in the Agreement, which default is not cured following the giving of

any applicable notice and within any applicable cure period set forth herein, at

the option of Holder and without notice to Maker, all accrued and unpaid

interest, if any, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance hereof,

and the entire outstanding principal balance, as so adjusted, shall bear

interest thereafter until paid at an annual rate (the "Default Rate") equal to

the lesser of (i) the rate that is five percentage points (5.0%) in excess of

the above-specified Interest Rate on the date of such default, or (ii) the

maximum rate of interest allowed to be charged under applicable law (the

"Maximum Rate"), regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of

the payment of principal as set forth herein.

 

      In the event this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for

collection, or if Holder incurs any costs incident to the collection of the

indebtedness evidenced hereby, Maker and any endorsers hereof agree to pay to

Holder an amount equal to all such costs, including, without limitation, all

reasonable attorneys' fees and all court costs.

 

      Presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, protest and

nonpayment are hereby waived by Maker and all other parties hereto. No failure

to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby by reason of a default

hereunder, acceptance of a past-due installment or other indulgences granted

from time to time, shall be construed as a novation of this Note or as a waiver

of such right of acceleration or of the right of Holder thereafter to insist

upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note or to prevent the exercise of

such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by applicable

law. No extension of the time for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby

 

 

                                       2

<PAGE>

 

or any installment due hereunder, made by agreement with any person now or

hereafter liable for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, shall operate

to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Maker

hereunder or that of any other person now or hereafter liable for payment of the

indebtedness evidenced hereby, either in whole or in part, unless Holder agrees

otherwise in writing. This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an

agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver,

change, modification or discharge is sought.

 

      All agreements herein made are expressly limited so that in no event

whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds hereof, acceleration of

maturity of the unpaid balance hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or

hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the

fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other agreement or instrument

now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness

evidenced hereby shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the Maximum

Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be

reduced to the Maximum Rate; and if from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder

shall ever receive interest, the amount of which would exceed the amount

collectible at the Maximum Rate, such amount as would be excessive interest

shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance remaining unpaid

hereunder and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every

other provision in any and all other agreements and instruments existing or

hereafter arising between Maker and Holder with respect to the indebtedness

evidenced hereby.
