1.PROMISE TO PAY:

In return for the Loan, Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender the principal amount of the Loan Amount, interest on the unpaid balance, and all other amounts required by this Note.

2.DEFINITIONS:

“Collateral” means any property taken as security for payment of this Note or any guarantee of this Note.

“Guarantor” means each person or entity that signs a guarantee of payment of this Note.

“Loan” means the loan evidenced by this Note.

“Loan Documents” means the documents related to this loan signed by Borrower, any Guarantor, or anyone who pledges collateral.

“SBA” means the Small Business Administration, an Agency of the United States of America.

3.PAYMENT TERMS:

Borrower must make all payments at the place Lender designates. The payment terms for this Note are:

Place for Payments: Borrower must make all payments to Lender at the office of Lender at 100 S.E. 2nd Street, 13th Floor, Miami, Florida 33131, or at such other place or in such other manner as Lender from time to time may designate in writing to Borrower.

Maturity: This Note will mature two (2) years from date of first disbursement of this loan (the “Maturity Date”).

Interest Rate: The interest rate on this Note is one percent (1.00%) per year (the “Interest Rate”).

Initial Deferment Period: No payments are due on this loan for 6 months from the date of first disbursement of this loan (the “Deferment Period”). The SBA may, at its discretion, increase the Deferment Period for an additional 6 month period, pursuant to the SBA’s authority under the CARES Act (as defined below), and any and all rules, regulations, guidance and statutes promulgated thereunder. Interest will continue to accrue during the Deferment Period.

Loan Forgiveness: Subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of the CARES Act (as defined below) and any rules, regulations, guidance and statutes promulgated thereunder, 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 (as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time the “CARES Act”) (P.L. 116-136), and any rules, regulations, guidance and statutes promulgated thereunder. Not more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs.

Repayment Terms: The Interest Rate is fixed and will not be changed during the life of the loan. Interest shall be calculated at the rate of 1/365 of the annual rate of interest for each day that principal is outstanding (i.e., interest will accrue and be paid on the actual number of calendar days elapsed from the date hereof based on a 365 day year).

The outstanding principal balance of this Note, as the same may exist from time to time, shall bear interest at a fixed rate equal to the Interest Rate. Beginning on the 10th day of the first month after the expiration of the Deferment Period, the then outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be repaid in equal monthly payments of principal and interest, to be fully amortized over the remaining term of the Note, and shall be due and payable from Borrower to Lender on the same calendar day of each successive month thereafter (each of the foregoing payments shall be defined as a “Monthly Payment”), with the final Monthly Payment for any partial month being due on the Maturity Date. Lender will calculate the Monthly Payment Amount and provide written notice of the Monthly Payment amount to Borrower after the expiration of the Deferment Period. If any Monthly Payment due under this Note, or the Maturity Date, becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or Maturity Date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

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. 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.

Non-Recourse: Lender and SBA shall have no recourse against any individual shareholder, member or partner of Borrower for non-payment of the Loan, except to the extent that such shareholder, member or partner uses the Loan proceeds for an unauthorized purpose.
