 3. PAYMENT TERMS:




 


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


 


The interest rate is 1.00%
per year. Interest payable with respect to any full calendar month shall be calculated according to the actual number of days in
a period as a fraction of a 365-day year. Interest shall begin to accrue on the Loan beginning on the date the funds are disbursed.


 


For the first six (6) months following the date
the proceeds of this Loan are disbursed to Borrower, no payments (including interest and principal) are required to be made; however,
during such six (6) month period interest will accrue on the Loan in accordance with this Note and Borrower is still obligated
to pay such accrued interest (“Deferred Accrued Interest”). The amount owed for the Deferred Accrued Interest shall
be included in the eighteen (18) monthly payments described below with each monthly payment including one-eighteenth (1/18) of
the amount of the Deferred Accrued Interest. Interest shall not accrue on the Deferred Accrued Interest.


 


Borrower must pay principal and interest payments
of $51,384.43 (“Installment Payments”) every month for eighteen (18) months beginning seven (7) months following the
date the loan proceeds are disbursed until two years from date of initial disbursement (“Maturity Date”). Installment
Payments must be received by Lender on the fifth calendar day in the month they are due; however, if the due date for an Installment
Payment is on a non-business day then the payment shall be received by Lender on the business day following the scheduled due
date for an Installment Payment.


 


Lender will apply each Installment Payment:
(i) first to pay interest accrued to the day Lender receives the payment, although with respect to the Deferred Accrued Interest
the Installment Payments shall only be applied to one-eighteenth (1/18) of the Deferred Accrued Interest owed for that payment
period and any unpaid Deferred Accrued Interest that should have been paid in prior payment periods; (ii) then to bring principal
current; (iii) then to any remaining balance to reduce principal.


 


Loan Prepayment:


Notwithstanding any provision in this Note to
the contrary:


Borrower may prepay this Note. Borrower may
prepay this Note in any amount and at any time without any prepayment penalty. However, 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 receives the notice, pay an amount equal to 21 days’
interest from the date lender receives the notice, less any interest accrued during the 21 days and paid under the subparagraph
b. above.


 


If Borrower does not prepay within 30
days from the date Lender receives the notice, Borrower must give Lender a new notice. After a prepayment is made, all remaining
principal and accrued interest on the Loan is due and payable in accordance with this Note.

Forgiveness Guidance”), the principal and accrued interest on the Loan may be forgiven and Borrower shall not owe such
amounts if Borrower: (i) uses all of the proceeds of the Loan for forgivable purposes as described in the PPP Loan
Forgiveness Guidance (the “Forgivable Purposes”); and (ii) Borrower complies with the requirements specified in
the PPP Loan Forgiveness Guidance to qualify for the loan forgiveness (the “Loan Forgiveness Requirements”).
However, whatever portion of the proceeds of the Loan not used for Forgivable Purposes and in accordance with limitations
imposed in the PPP Loan Forgiveness Guidance, and any interest accrued thereon, shall be due and payable to Lender in
accordance with this Note. Additionally, if Borrower fails to satisfy the Loan Forgiveness Requirements then all of the
proceeds of the Loan and any interest accrued thereon shall be due and payable to Lender in accordance with this Note.
Borrower represents that Borrower has received and read the PPP Interim Final Rule and agrees to obtain and read any other
PPP Loan Forgiveness Guidance. However, Lender is under no obligation to notify Borrower of any PPP Loan Forgiveness Guidance
released by the SBA or to provide a copy of such guidance to Borrower.

included in the PPP Releases and must apply for such amounts to be forgiven in accordance with the PPP Releases. Any amount of
the principal (and interest accrued thereon) of the Loan not forgiven by the SBA under the PPP is an obligation of Borrower under
the Note and must be repaid to Lender in accordance with the terms of the Note.





		d.	PPP Releases. Borrower is responsible for obtaining
and reading all PPP Releases. Should Borrower need assistance understanding the requirements imposed on Borrower under the PPP
Releases, including (without limitation) with respect to Borrower’s eligibility for a loan under the PPP or to obtain forgiveness
of the principal (and interest accrued thereon) of the Loan, then will take any steps necessary to understand such requirements,
such as obtaining the advice of counsel at Borrower’s cost. Lender is under no obligation to notify Borrower of any PPP
Releases issued the SBA or Treasury, or to provide a copy of such issuances to Borrower.





		e.	Reporting Agencies. Lender is required in accordance
with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 and by SBA SOP 50 10 to report information relating to the extension of the Loan
to consumer or commercial reporting agencies or bureaus, as appropriate (the "Reporting Agencies"). The Borrower acknowledges
this requirement and further, by execution of this Certification and Addendum, agrees that the Lender may in the future report
further information concerning the Loan, including delinquent payments, other Loan defaults, or charge offs to Reporting Agencies.
This information may be reflected in reports issued by Reporting Agencies. Further, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if the
Borrower defaults on the SBA-guaranteed Loan and SBA suffers a loss Lender may be required to report any Loan charge offs to the
Treasury's delinquent debtor databases.

		f.	Execution. A signed copy of this Certification and
Addendum or any other Loan Documents transmitted by facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed
to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original executed copy of such Loan Document for all purposes. Any party providing
an electronic signature agrees to promptly execute and deliver to Lender an original signed copy of such Loan Document upon request.





		g.	Costs. To the extent not prohibited by the CARES
Act and other PPP Releases, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all of its out-of-pocket expenses including, without limitation,
reasonable counsel fees and expenses, incident to the enforcement of any provision of the Loan Documents.





		h.	Cross-collateralization. To the extent not prohibited
by the CARES Act and other PPP Releases, in the event the Loan no longer qualifies as loan under the PPP, and SBA decides not
to guarantee the Loan, then with respect to any portion not forgiven by the SBA under the PPP (as discussed in Section 4.c above):
(i) Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall be subject to any cross-default and cross-collateralization provisions
provided in any other agreements or instruments evidencing other loans or extensions previously made or that will be made by Lender
to Borrower; and (ii) any guaranty made by any guarantors for any other obligations of Borrower to Lender in connection with other
loans or extensions of credit previously made or that will be made by Lender to Borrower shall cover Borrower’s obligations
under the Loan Documents unless the guaranty is limited by its terms so as to not include Borrower’s obligations under the
Loan Documents.





		i.	Validity of Loan Documents. This Certification and
Addendum, other Loan Documents and any other instrument, document or agreement executed and delivered by Borrower in connection
herewith will be valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms.

duly authorized to execute and deliver this Certification and Addendum, the Note and all other Loan Documents, and the performance
