1.     PROMISE TO PAY:


In return for the Loan, Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender the amount of Five Hundred Forty-Six Thousand Six Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($546,600.00), interest on the unpaid principal balance, and all other amounts required by this Note.


 


2.     DEFINITIONS:


"Loan" means the loan evidenced by this Note.


"Loan Documents" means the documents related to this loan signed by Borrower.


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


 


3.     PAYMENT TERMS:


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


 


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 (CARES Act) (P.L. 116-136). Not more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs.


 


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


 


Repayment Terms:     The interest rate on this Note is one percent per year. The interest rate is fixed and will not be changed during the life of the loan.


 


Borrower must pay principal and interest payments in the amount of $23,013.00 each and every month beginning SIX MONTHS from the month this Note is dated; payments must be made on the first calendar day in the months they are due. 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.

6.     LENDER'S GENERAL POWERS: Without notice and without Borrower's consent, Lender may:

Release anyone obligated to pay this Note.


 


WHEN FEDERAL LAW APPLIES: When SBA is the holder, this Note will be interpreted and enforced under federal law, including SBA regulations.

Borrower may not use an oral statement of Lender or SBA to contradict or alter the written terms of this Note. If any part of this Note is unenforceable, all other parts remain in effect.
