The following events are events of default hereunder (each an "Event of Default"): (a) the failure of the Borrower to pay principal as and when due under any Note; (b) the failure of any Obligor to perform any other payment obligations as and when due under any Note or any Loan Document and such default continues unremedied for a period of five (5) days; (c) the failure to perform any other agreement, obligation, liability or indebtedness of any Obligor to Bank (whether arising pursuant to any Note or the Loan Documents, or otherwise) or to any Affiliate of the Bank as and when such obligation is required to be performed (after the expiration of any applicable notice or grace period); (d) the failure to pay or perform as and when due any other obligations, liabilities or indebtedness of any Obligor to any other party the principal amount of which exceeds $1,000,000 in the aggregate; (e) the death or legal incapacity of Borrower; (1) the commencement of a proceeding against any Obligor for dissolution or liquidation and such Doc tNY6:5049061 EFTA01188925 4 proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days, the voluntary or involuntary termination or dissolution of any Obligor or the merger or consolidation of any Obligor with or into another entity; (g) the insolvency of, the business failure of, the appointment of a custodian, trustee, liquidator or receiver for or for any of the property of, the assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the filing of a petition under bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor's relief law or the filing of a petition for any adjustment of indebtedness, composition or extension by or against any Obligor; (h) any representation or warranty made to Bank by any Obligor in any Note or any Loan Document or otherwise is or was, when made, untrue or materially misleading; (i) the failure of any Obligor to timely deliver such financial statements, including tax returns, other statements of condition or other information, as Bank shall request from time to time, and such failure continues unremedied after a period of ten (10) days; (j) the entry of a judgment against any Obligor which Bank, in its sole discretion, deems to be of a material nature and either (x) enforcement proceedings shall have been commenced upon such judgment or (y) there shall be any period of fifteen (15) consecutive days during which such judgment shall remain undischarged or unbonded during which the execution of such judgment shall not have been stayed effectively; (k) the seizure or forfeiture of, or the issuance of any writ of possession, garnishment or attachment, or any turnover order for any property of any Obligor; (1) the reasonable determination by Bank that, for any reason (other than as set forth in Section II.E. of the Loan Agreement), it has insufficient security backing the Loans and such deficiency shall remain unremedied for a period of ten (10) days after notice thereof has been given by the Bank to the Borrower; or (m) the determination by Bank that a material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of any Obligor. 5. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may, by notice to Borrower, declare this Note, all interest hereon and all other amounts payable under each Note or any Loan Document to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon each Note, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; and any obligation of Bank to permit further borrowing under each Note shall immediately cease and terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default arising under Section 4(g) above as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the United States Federal Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Obligor, each Note and all interest and all other amounts owing to Bank under the Loan Documents shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. The provisions hereunder for a Default Rate shall not be deemed to extend the time for any payment hereunder or to constitute a "grace period" giving the Obligors a right to cure any default. At Bank's option, if permitted by applicable law, any accrued and unpaid interest, fees or charges may, for purposes of computing and accruing interest on a daily basis after the due date of each Note or any installment thereof, be deemed to be a part of the principal balance, and interest shall accrue on a daily compounded basis after such date at the rate provided in each Note until the entire outstanding balance of principal and interest is paid in full. Bank is hereby authorized at any time to set off and charge against any deposit accounts of any Obligor, as well as any money, instruments, securities, documents, chattel paper, credits, claims, demands, income and any other property, rights and interests of any Obligor which at any time shall come into the possession or custody or Doc 11-.NY6304905.2 EFTA01188926 5 under the control of Bank or any of its agents, affiliates or correspondents, without notice or demand, any and all obligations due hereunder. Additionally, Bank shall have all rights and remedies available under each of the Loan Documents, as well as all rights and remedies available at law or in equity. The recourse of the Bank against the Borrower for the Obligations shall not include any of the Borrower's right, title or interest in his residences, items of jewelry or furniture or loans to trusts of which any of the Borrower's children are beneficiaries. 6. Non-waiver. Bank's failure, at any time, to exercise any of its options or any other rights hereunder or under any other Note shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall it be a bar to the exercise of any of its options or rights at a later date. All rights and remedies of Bank shall be cumulative and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the option of Bank. The acceptance by Bank of any partial payment shall not constitute a waiver of any default or of any of Bank's rights under any Note. No waiver of any of its rights hereunder, and no modification or amendment of any Note, shall be deemed to be made by Bank unless the same shall be in writing, duly signed on behalf of Bank; and each such waiver shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved, and shall in no way impair the rights of Bank or the obligations of Obligor to Bank in any other respect at any other time. 7. Applicable Law, Venue and Jurisdiction. This Note and the rights and obligations of Borrower and Bank shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. In any litigation in connection with or to enforce any Note or any endorsement of any Note or any Loan Document, Obligors, and each of them, irrevocably consent to and confer personal jurisdiction on the courts of the State of New York or the United States located within the State of New York and expressly waive any objections as to venue in any such courts. Nothing contained herein shall, however, prevent Bank from bringing any action or exercising any rights within any other state or jurisdiction or from obtaining personal jurisdiction by any other means available under applicable law. 8. Partial Invalidity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of any Note shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein or therein and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of any Note or of the Loan Documents to any person or circumstance shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other persons or circumstances. 9. Binding Effect. This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Obligors and Bank and their respective successors, assigns, executors, heirs and personal representatives, provided, however, that no obligations of Borrower or any Obligor hereunder can be assigned without prior written consent of Bank. 10. Controlling Document. To the extent that this Note conflicts with or is in any way incompatible with the provisions of any other Loan Document, this Note shall control over such other document unless this Note does not address an issue, in which case the terms of any Loan Document addressing such issue shall govern. This Note amends and restates the Consolidated, Amended and Restated Promissory Note, dated June 10, 2003, from the Borrower to the Bank in the principal amount of $30,000,000, as thereafter amended and Doc LNY6:304906.2 EFTA01188927 6 restated, and does not constitute a novation or extinguishment of the debt represented thereby.
