FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
and at the times hereinafter specified, the undersigned
(“Maker”) hereby promises to pay to the order of
MICHAEL HOPKINS (hereinafter referred to, together with each
subsequent holder hereof, as “Holder”), at such address
as may be designated from time to time hereafter by any Holder, the
principal sum of TWO THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED FIFTY TWO AND
EIGHT/100THS DOLLARS ($2,952.08), or so much thereof as shall have
been advanced to or for the benefit of Maker, together with
interest on the principal balance outstanding from time to time, as
hereinafter provided, in lawful money of the United States of
America.
The term of this
note shall commence as of the date hereof and, if not sooner paid,
the entire unpaid principal indebtedness, all accrued and unpaid
interest, and all other sums payable in connection with this note
shall be due and payable on July 8, 2010 (the “Maturity
Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence,
the maturity date of this note may be extended at the option of
Maker for a period of one year following the Maturity Date provided
Holder receives a renewal fee equal to 1.5% of the then outstanding
principal balance due. In no event shall the maturity
date of this note be later than July
8, 2010.
During the period
commencing on the date hereof and continuing until this note is
paid in full, (a) interest on the principal balance of this note
shall accrue at the rate of 15% per annum and (b) interest payments
shall be made every 90 days, beginning 90 days for the date
hereof. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year, calculated for the actual number of days elapsed.
Whenever any
payment to be made hereunder is due on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day,
and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of payment of interest. “Business
Day” shall mean a day on which Holder’s offices are
open for business in Denver, Colorado.
Maker may prepay
this note in whole or in part.
All payments
hereunder shall, at Holder’s option, be applied first to the
payment of accrued interest at the rate specified below, if any,
second, to accrued interest first specified above, and the balance
applied in reduction of the principal amount. If any
payment is not paid when due hereunder, then the entire outstanding
balance hereunder, including the interest
component of the
delinquent payment, shall bear interest from the date such payment
was due until such payment is paid at a rate equal to 24.00% per
annum (the “Default Rate”). In addition,
upon the maturity date hereof, by acceleration or otherwise, the
entire balance of principal, interest, and other sums due shall
bear interest from such mat
