 1.    PROMISE TO PAY: 
 In return for the Loan, Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender the amount of Six Hundred Seventy One Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Two and NO/100 Dollars ($671,992.00), interest on the unpaid principal
balance, and all other amounts required by this Note. Under the PPP (as defined below), certain amounts may be forgiven by the Lender under the direction f of the Administrator of the SBA so long as the requirements of the PPP for forgiveness are
satisfied. Until an amount is forgiven, the principal amount owed is as set forth in the preceding paragraph and interest accrues thereon. Forgiveness does not occur automatically. Borrower must submit a request for forgiveness and all required
documentation, and forgiveness will not occur unless and until the request for forgiveness is approved. Borrower should submit the request for approval timely in accordance with the rules of the PPP to avoid unnecessary delay. 

2.    DEFINITIONS: 
 “Application” shall mean the SBA Form 2483 together with all supporting documentation submitted to Lender as the application for the Loan. 

“Disbursement Date” means that date on which the Loan is disbursed by Lender. “Loan” means the loan evidenced by this Note.

 “Loan Documents” means the documents related to this loan signed by Borrower, including, without limitation, the Application.

 “Maturity Date” means the date that is two (2) years from the Disbursement Date. 

“Payroll Costs” shall have the meaning set forth in the CARES Act and Section 2(f) of the SBA’s PPP rules, as the same may be
amended, modified, supplemented or interpreted by the SBA from time to time. 
 “PPP” means the Paycheck Protection Program set
forth in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

3.    PAYMENT TERMS: 
 Borrower must make all payments at the place Lender designates. 












 The Loan shall be repaid in full no later than two (2) years from the
Disbursement Date (the “Maturity Date”). Unless earlier forgiven in whole or in part, subject to and in accordance with the Forgiveness Guidelines described (and defined) below, the Borrower shall begin making monthly payments of principal
in equal installments in an amount that would fully amortize the Loan by the Maturity Date, plus interest, in arrears, calculated based upon the original principal amount of this Note until the date of any forgiveness and on the remaining
outstanding principal balance thereafter, and a per annum interest rate of one percent (1.00%) beginning seven months from the month of the Disbursement Date; payments must be made on the date in the months they are due that corresponds to the date
in the month on which proceeds were initially disbursed or, if no such corresponding date, on the next succeeding business day. Interest shall accrue, and be due and payable from, the date of initial disbursement of the Loan. The interest rate wig
it be changed during the life of the loan. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender automatically to deduct from any deposit account(s) of Borrower with Lender, the amount of any payment due under this Note. 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. 

4.    USE OF PROCEEDS: 
 Proceeds of the Loan must be (1) paid or disbursed by Borrower within eight (8) weeks of the date of initial disbursement of the Loan and (2) used solely for the following purposes (the

forgiveness, if any, shall be determined by Lender in Lender’s discretion in accordance with, and to the extent not expressly prohibited by, the Forgiveness Guidelines. Not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount forgiven shall
