Interest shall be payable on the last business day of each full calendar month following the Issue Date. Interest on the Note shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event the Principal Amount and all interest accrued thereon has not been paid to Holder in full on the Maturity Date, the then-outstanding Principal Amount shall thereafter bear interest at the default rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

 

 

3.

Payments. Any payment on this Note shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Holder or by check sent to the Holder’s address set forth in the records of the Borrower or to such other address as the Holder may designate for such purpose from time to time by written notice to the Borrower, in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. All payments shall be applied first to any applicable fees and expenses owed to Holder under this Note, if any, then to accrued and unpaid interest and thereafter to outstanding principal.

 

 

4.

Prepayment.

 

 

(a)

Optional Prepayment: Borrower may, without premium or penalty, at any time and from time to time, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to holder, prepay all or a part of the outstanding unpaid Principal Amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon computed to the date of prepayment.

 

 
 

 

 

 

(b)

Mandatory Prepayment: In the event of a closing by the Borrower of the sale of Borrower’s securities in a public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $10,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Borrower, the Borrower shall, within ten (10) days of the closing of such transaction, prepay the entire outstanding unpaid Principal Amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon computed to the date of prepayment.

 

 

5.
