(c)     “Event of Default” has the meaning given in Section 3 hereof.

(d)    “Holder” shall mean the Person specified in the introductory paragraph of this Note or any Person who shall at the time be the registered Holder of this Note.

All payments of interest and principal shall be in lawful money of the United States of America at 120%. All payments shall be applied first to accrued interest, and thereafter to principal.

3. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:

(b)    The Company files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

(c)     An involuntary petition is filed against the Company (unless such petition is dismissed or discharged within forty five (45) days) under any bankruptcy statute now or hereafter in effect, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is appointed to take possession, custody or control of any property of the Company; or
