If not sooner paid, all principal and unpaid interest on this Note shall be due and payable to the Holder on the earlier to occur of (i) the Maturity Date or (ii) an Event of Default (as defined below).

Interest shall be computer on the basis of a 365-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(b)           General Payment Provisions. All payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by immediately available funds or wire transfer to such account as the Holder may designate by written notice to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding Business Day.

3.             Security Agreement.

 

(a)         As security for the full, prompt, complete and final payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all obligations of the Company, now existing or in the future, arising in connection with this Note (the “Obligations”), the Company does hereby pledge, assign, transfer, deliver and grant to Holder a continuing and unconditional security interest in all of that certain artwork created by Bob Guccione, including but not limited to, 40,000 “Guccione Slides” (the “Guccione Artwork”), purchased by and currently owned by the Company (the “Collateral”). The Company hereby authorizes Holder to prepare and file or cause to be filed such financing statements, amendments and other documents and do such acts as Holder deems necessary in order to establish and maintain valid, attached and perfected, security interests in the Collateral in favor of Holder. The Company hereby irrevocably authorizes Holder at any time, and from time to time, to file in any jurisdiction any financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral is comprised of the Guccione Artwork (b) contain any other information required by Section 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed regarding the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether the Company is an organization, the type of organization, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of the real property to which the Collateral relates. The Company agrees to furnish any such information to Holder promptly upon request. The Company hereby agrees that a photogenic or other reproduction of this Note is sufficient for filing a financing statement.

 

(b)          At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Holder, at the sole expense of the Company, the Company shall promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Holder may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to perfect and continue perfected or better perfect Holder’s security interest in the Collateral.

 

4.            Guarantee Agreement. Jerrick Ventures, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary”) hereby jointly and severally guarantees and becomes surety to the Holder for the full, prompt and unconditional payment of the Obligations and payment and performance of the Obligations, and the full, prompt and unconditional performance of each term and condition to be performed by the Company in connection with this Note. This guaranty is a primary obligation of the Subsidiary and shall be a continuing inexhaustible guaranty. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Holder may require the Subsidiary to pay and perform its individual liabilities and obligations under this guaranty and may proceed immediately against any of the Subsidiary without being required to bring any proceeding or take any action against any other Grantor prior thereto; the liability of the Subsidiary hereunder being independent of and separate from the liability of the Company and the availability of any Collateral.

9.             Governing Law. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to provisions thereof regarding conflict of laws. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Nevada for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper, provided, however, nothing contained herein shall limit the Holder’s ability to bring suit or enforce this Note in any other jurisdiction.

10.           Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies of the Holder as provided herein shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of the Holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.

 

11.           Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Note shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein.

14.          Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any provision in this Note, the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Note or any other applicable law. In the event the total liability of payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall, for any reason whatsoever, result in an effective rate of interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Note, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice by, between, or to any party hereto, be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of this Note immediately upon receipt of such sums by the Holder hereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of such outstanding principal balance and the Holder hereof had agreed to accept such sums as a penalty-free payment of principal; provided, however, that the Holder of this Note may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the Company, to waive, reduce, or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the outstanding principal balance. It is the intention of the parties that the Company does not intend or expect to pay nor does the Holder intend or expect to charge or collect any interest under this Note greater than the highest non-usurious rate of interest which may be charged under applicable law.

 

15.           Binding Effect. This Note shall be binding upon the Company and the successors and assigns of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of Holder and the successors and assigns of Holder.

 

16.           Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, in any respect, or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Note operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Note, then and in any of those events, only such provision or provisions shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect any other provision of this Note. The remaining provisions of this Note shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced, or disturbed thereby.

 

17.           Assignment. The Company may not transfer or assign this Note without the written consent of Holder.

 

18.          Amendments. The provisions of this Note may be changed only by a written agreement executed by the Company and Holder.
