Lime Energy Co., a
Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), for
value received, promises to pay to Advanced Biotherapy, Inc.
(“ Noteholder ”), the principal amount of Four
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000) (the “
Maximum Principal Amount ”), or so much thereof as may
be advanced and be outstanding, together with interest thereon, to
be computed on each advance from the date of its disbursement as
set forth herein. This Note is issued pursuant to that certain
Amended and Restated Note Issuance Agreement dated of even date
herewith, by and among the Company, Noteholder and the other lender
named therein (the “ AR Note Issuance Agreement
”), and the obligation of the Noteholder to make advances is
subject to the Company’s compliance with the conditions set
forth in the AR Note Issuance Agreement.
Noteholder
authorizes the Company to record on the grid sheet accompanying
this Note (the “ Grid Sheet ”) all advances,
repayments, prepayments and the unpaid principal balance from time
to time. As provided in the AR Note Issuance Agreement, all
advances, repayments and prepayments on the notes issued pursuant
thereto are to be made pro rata among Noteholder and the lender
named therein. Noteholder agrees that, in the absence of manifest
error, the record kept by the Company on the Grid Sheet shall be
conclusive evidence of the matters recorded, provided that the
failure of the Company to record or correctly record any amount or
date shall not affect the obligation of the Company to pay the
outstanding principal balance of the advances and the interest
thereon in accordance with this Note.
The following is a
statement of the rights of Noteholder and the conditions to which
this Note is subject, and to which Noteholder, by the acceptance of
this Note, agrees:
1.
Payment of Principal and Interest.
1.1.
Interest . The outstanding principal balance hereunder shall
bear interest at the rate of seventeen percent (17%) per annum with
twelve percent (12%) per annum payable in cash (the “
Current Interest ”) and the remaining five percent
(5%) per annum to be capitalized (the “ Capitalized
Interest ”). The Current Interest shall be payable on the
first Business Day (as hereinafter defined) of each calendar
quarter, commencing on January 2, 2009 and continuing until
the principal balance hereunder shall have been paid in full. The
Capitalized Interest shall be added to the outstanding principal
balance of this Note on the first calendar day of each quarter that
this Note remains outstanding (the “ Capitalized
Interest ”) and shall be due and payable on the Maturity
Date (as hereinafter defined) or on such other date as may be
required hereby. As used herein, references to the “principal
balance” shall include Capitalized Interest. For the
avoidance of doubt, Capitalized Interest shall bear interest at the
same interest rate and shall be payable on the same terms as
principal advanced by the Noteholder. Capitalized Interest and
Current Interest shall be calculated based on a 365 day year
for the actual number of days elapsed. “ Business Day
” shall mean any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday, a day
that is a legal holiday under the laws of the State of Illinois or
any other day on which banking institutions located in Chicago,
Illinois are authorized or required by law or other governmental
action to close.
1.2.
Principal. The entire outstanding principal balance and all
accrued and unpaid interest shall be immediately due and payable on
March 31, 2009 (the “ Maturity Date
”).
1.3.
Borrowing and Repayment . The Company may from time to time
during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly, repay its
outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the
limitations, terms and conditions of this Note; provided, however,
that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at
any time exceed the Maximum Principal Amount. The outstanding
principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued but
unpaid interest, including, without limitation, all Capitalized
Interest, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity
Date.
1.4.
Business Purpose; Usury Savings Clause . This Note is being
issued for business purposes. The Company and Noteholder intend to
comply at all times with applicable usury laws. If at any time such
laws would render usurious any amounts due under this Note under
applicable law, then it is the Company’s and
Noteholder’s express intention that the Company not be
required to pay interest on this Note at a rate in excess of the
maximum lawful rate, that the provisions of this
Section 1.4 shall control over all other provisions of
this Note which may be in apparent conflict hereunder, that such
excess amount shall be immediately credited to the principal
balance of this Note (or, if this Note has been fully paid,
refunded by Noteholder to the Company), and the provisions hereof
shall be immediately reformed and the amounts thereafter decreased,
so as to comply with the then applicable usury law, but so as to
permit the payment of the maximum amount otherwise due under this
Note.
1.5.
Application of Payments . Payments by the Company shall be
applied first to any and all accrued interest through the payment
date and second to the unpaid principal balance.
2. Unused
Funds Fee. The Company agrees to pay to Noteholder a fee (the
“ Unused Funds Fee ”) calculated by multiplying
(a) four percent (4%) times (b) the daily amount by which
the Maximum Principal Amount exceeds the outstanding advances made
to the Company, excluding Capitalized Interest, dividing the
product by (c) 365 and then multiplying the quotient by
(d) the number of days in such calendar quarter. The Unused
Funds Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first
Business Day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding
calendar quarter commencing on the first such date following the
date hereof, with a final payment on the Maturity Date or any
earlier date on which all amounts payable hereunder become due
pursuant to the terms hereof. Any Unused Funds Fee that shall not
be paid by the tenth (10 th )
day of each calendar quarter shall accrue interest at the rate of
seventeen percent (17%) per annum until paid in full together with
such accrued interest.
3.
Termination Fee. In the event, and on the date (the “
Termination Date ”), that the Company delivers written
notice to Noteholder terminating the lending relationship evidenced
by this Note prior to the Maturity Date, the Company agrees to pay
a termination fee to the Noteholder (the “ Termination
Fee ”) calculat
