WHEREAS, Payee has accrued fees and expenses, which, as of the date hereof, total $527,849.50, and which are currently due and payable by Maker;

 

WHEREAS, due to current financial limitations, Maker proposed to evidence its payment obligation in this Note, which Note shall be payable no later than December 31, 2008;

 

WHEREAS, Payee has agreed to accept this Note on the terms and conditions contained herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED and intending to be legally bound, Maker hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Payee, with an address of 1701 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 (or such other address as Payee may specify in writing), the principal amount of FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY-NINE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS ($527,849.50), in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth below.

For purposes of this Note, a “ Liquidity Event ” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following:

(i)    the approval by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (“ NJEDA ”) of Maker’s application (the “ Application ”) to sell Maker’s Unused Net Operating Losses Carryover (as defined in the Application) under NJEDA’s Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program (the “ Program ”), and the subsequent sale of Maker’s Unused Net Operating Losses Carryover thereunder;

 

 

 


 

(ii)    any sale, transfer or other disposition (including pursuant to a sale-leaseback transaction) of any property or asset of Maker or any subsidiary (other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business), unless, within 90 days of Maker’s receipt of such proceeds (or if committed to be reinvested within 180 days of the receipt of such proceeds, within 180 days of the receipt of such proceeds), such proceeds are reinvested to replace the property or assets so sold, transferred or disposed of;

 

(iii)    any licensing or similar transaction pursuant to which Maker authorizes a third party to use, copy, enhance, modify, access, distribute and/or sublicense any of Maker’s intellectual property;

 

(iv)    the incurrence, sale or issuance of any indebtedness and/or the issuance of any equity by Maker or any subsidiary thereof; or

 

(v)    any casualty or other insured damage to, or any taking under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding of, any property or asset of Maker, unless within 90 days of Maker’s receipt of such proceeds (or if committed to be reinvested within 180 days of the receipt of such proceeds, within 180 days of the receipt of such proceeds), such proceeds are reinvested to repair or replace the property or assets so damaged or taken.
