Debtor shall pay Holder the entire outstanding principal balance, together with all other amounts owing hereunder, in full on April 1, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”) if not paid earlier as required or permitted hereby.  In the event this Note remains outstanding after the Maturity Date, Debtor shall pay Holder the entire outstanding principal balance, together with all other amounts owing hereunder, plus the Fundamental Transaction Amount (as defined below). 
2.    Prepayment.  Debtor may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium; provided, however that any partial prepayment of this Note must be in an amount equal to $250,000 or a higher integral multiple of $50,000 (or, if less, the entire principal amount then outstanding).
