1. BORROWER’S PROMISE TO PAY



 


(a)
In partial consideration for the assignment and transfer of the Priority Interest (as defined in that certain Assignment of Claims
Agreement by and between Borrower and Note Holder, dated as of the date hereof) to Borrower, Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity
Date (as defined below) to the order of Note Holder the principal amount of Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000) (the “Loan”),
or, if less, the then outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Loan, to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the
Loan from time to time outstanding until paid in full at the interest rates, at the times and in the manner provided for below,
and to pay all other amounts required by this Note.


 


(b)
Borrower understands that the Note Holder may transfer this Note. This Note shall be binding on Borrower and Borrower’s
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Note Holder and its successors and assigns. Note Holder may assign, without
the consent of Borrower, all or a portion of Note Holder’s rights under this Note and the other documents, instruments and
agreements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Prior written notice of such assignment shall
be given by Note Holder to Borrower. The Note Holder or anyone who takes this Note by transfer and who is entitled to receive
payments under this Note is hereafter called the “Note Holder.” Borrower may not assign, transfer or delegate any
of Borrower’s obligations or agreements hereunder. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Note shall
be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Note Holder and Borrower.


 


2. INTEREST



 


(a)
Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, from the date of borrowing until the Maturity
Date, and as payments become due and payable pursuant to Section 4 of this Note, at a rate per annum equal to 7.50 % (the “Interest
Rate”).


 


(b)
The Borrower further agrees to pay interest on all other Obligations of the Borrower hereunder that are not paid or performed
when due at the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) (the “Overdue Rate”), but in no event in excess of the Maximum
Rate (as defined below).


 




    	 		 



     


    

 


(c)
Throughout the term of this Note, interest shall be calculated on a 365-day year (366 days in a leap year), but shall be computed
for the actual number of days in the period for which interest is charged. If any payment of principal or interest to be made
by Borrower shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day, and
such reduction of time shall be included in computing any interest with respect to such payment.


 


3. MATURITY DATE



 


Subject
to the other terms of this Note, the unpaid principal balance hereof, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, and all
other amounts payable by Borrower under the terms of this Note shall be due and payable on the date that is the seventh (7th)
anniversary of the date of this Note (the “Maturity Date”).


 


4. PAYMENTS



 


(a)
Borrower shall make all payments due under this Note for principal, interest and other amounts in U.S. dollars in the form of
cash, check, wire transfer or money order, not later than 12:00 p.m. New York time, on the day of payment, to such location as
the Note Holder may in writing designate from time to time.


 


(b)
All accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof shall be due and payable annually in arrears, commencing on September
30, 2020 and thereafter on September 30 of each year until the Maturity Date.


 


(c)
Principal shall be due in annual principal installments as follows:


 


	 	i.	$3,461,538,
    payable on March 31, 2021,
	 	ii.	$3,461,538,
    payable on March 31, 2022,
	 	iii.	$519,231,
    payable on March 31, 2023, 
	 	iv.	$519,231,
    payable on March 31, 2024, 
	 	v.	$519,231,
    payable on March 31, 2025 and 
	 	vi.	$519,231,
    payable on March 31, 2026; with a balloon payment on the Maturity Date of all the then outstanding principal amount.


 


(d)
Payments received by Holder pursuant to the terms hereof shall be applied in the following manner: first, to the payment of all
interest accrued but unpaid to the date of such payment; and second, to the payment of principal, and interest shall thereupon
cease to accrue upon the principal so credited. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), all amounts received by Note Holder from any party
shall be applied in such order as Note Holder, in Note Holder’s sole discretion, may elect, including first to the payment
of expenses of collection and Overdue Rate.

5. VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT



 


(a)
On or after the date which is 30 months from the date hereof, Borrower has the right to make payments of principal and accrued
but unpaid interest at any time before such payments are due. A payment of any such principal and/or interest prior to its due
date shall be referred to as a “Prepayment.” Borrower shall give the Note Holder at least two (2) Business Days’
irrevocable written notice of any Prepayment specifying the date and amount of such Prepayment. Borrower may not designate a payment
as a Prepayment if Borrower has not made any and all payments due and owing under the Note as of the date of the Prepayment.


 


(b)
Borrower may make a full Prepayment or partial Prepayment without paying a Prepayment fee. The Note Holder will use Prepayments
to reduce the amount of principal that Borrower owes under this Note. However, the Note Holder may apply Prepayments to any accrued
and unpaid interest due and owing on the Loan, or towards any other Obligations owed under the Note, before applying Prepayments
to reduce the principal amount of the Note.


 


6. LOAN CHARGES



 


If
a law, which applies to this Loan and which sets maximum loan charges (the “Maximum Rate”), is finally interpreted
so that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with the Loan exceed the permitted limits,
then: (a) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (b) any
sums already collected from Borrower which exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to Borrower. The Note Holder may choose
to make this refund by reducing the principal amount which is owed to Note Holder under this Note or by making a direct payment
to Borrower. If a refund reduces principal, the reduction will be treated as a partial Prepayment in accordance with Section 5.
