	 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.

	  
	  

	  
	 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

Not more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs. If the Borrower has received an EIDL advance in any amount, that amount shall be subtracted from the loan forgiveness amount.

	  
	  

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

	 Lender will apply each installment payment first to pay interest accrued to the day Lender received the payment, then to bring principal current, and will apply any remaining balance to reduce principal.

	  
	  

	  
	 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.
