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

provisions of Section 1106 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (P.L. 116-136). Not more than

period shall be payable in eighteen (18) equal consecutive installments of principal and interest payable (based upon an 18 month
amortization schedule) commencing on the 7 month anniversary of the Note date to and including the Maturity date.


 


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.
