terms for this Note are:

1.

Maturity: This Note will mature in two years from date of first disbursement of
this loan

 

2.
Repayment Terms: If Lender uses its own Note, Lender must comply with the repayment terms set forth below and must ensure the
Note is legally enforceable and assignable, has a stated maturity and is not
payable on demand. The Note must include the following language:

 

“When SBA is the holder, this Note will be interpreted and enforced under
federal law, including SBA regulations. As to this Note, Borrower may not claim
or assert against SBA any local or state law to deny any obligation, defeat any
claim of SBA, or preempt federal law.”

 

If Lender uses SBA Note, Form 147, Lender must insert into Note, to be executed
by Borrower, the following terms, without modification. Lender must complete all
blank terms on the Note at time of closing.

 

Initial Deferment Period: No payments are due on this loan for 6 months from the
date of first disbursement of this loan. Interest will continue to accrue during
the deferment period. Thereafter on the 5th of each month Lender will apply each
installment payment first to pay interest accrued to the day Lender receives the
payment, then to bring principal current, then to pay any late fees, and will
apply any remaining balance to reduce principal.

 

Monthly Loan Payment Amount Due After 6 Month Deferment Period: $46,309.03
Interest Rate Fixed at 1.00%

The interest rate identified in the Note may not be changed during the life of
the Loan unless changed in accordance with SOP 50 10.

 

Loan Forgiveness: Borrower may apply to Lender for forgiveness of the amount due
on this loan in an amount equal to the sum of the following costs incurred by
Borrower during the 8-week period beginning on the date of first disbursement of
this loan:

 

a.

Payroll costs

 

b. Any payment of interest on a covered mortgage obligation (which
shall not include any prepayment of or payment of principal on a covered
mortgage obligation)

c.

Any payment on a covered rent obligation

 

d.

Any covered utility payment

 

The amount of loan forgiveness shall be calculated (and may be reduced) in
accordance with the requirements of the Paycheck Protection Program, including
the provisions of Section 1106 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act (CARES Act) (P.L. 116-136). Not more than 25% of the amount
forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs. [If applicable, insert the
following: Borrower has received an EIDL advance in the amount of $0.00. That
amount shall be subtracted from the loan forgiveness amount.]

 

Loan Prepayment: Notwithstanding any provision in this Note to the contrary:

 

Borrower may prepay this Note at any time without penalty. Borrower may prepay
20 percent or less of the unpaid principal balance at any time without notice.
If Borrower prepays more than 20 percent and the Loan has been sold on the
secondary market, Borrower must: a. Give Lender written notice; b. Pay all
accrued interest; and c. If the prepayment is received less than 21 days from
the date Lender received the notice, pay an amount equal to 21 days interest
from the date lender received the notice, less any interest accrued during the
21 days and paid under b. of this paragraph. If Borrower does not prepay within
30 days from the date Lender received the notice, Borrower must give Lender a
new notice.
