Restores Blood Flow. It has been demonstrated that the timely restoration of blood flow in ischemic stroke patients may potentially minimize and possibly reverse injury to the brain. In our most recent trial, the Multi MERCI trial, the Merci Retrieval System was effective in restoring blood flow in large vessel ischemic stroke patients 54.9% of the time. Furthermore, upon the addition of adjunctive therapy, primarily an injection of a clot dissolving drug into the obstructed vessel, our Multi MERCI trial demonstrated successful restoration of blood flow 68.3% of the time

Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, Lender’s obligation to make any Advances or to lend the undisbursed portion of the Commitment shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.

2.3 Terms of Payment, Repayment.

(a) Repayment. Borrower shall repay the principal and pay interest on each Advance on the terms set forth in the applicable Note. Amounts not paid when due hereunder or under the Note shall bear interest at the Default Rate. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Lender has received payments that, if interest, would exceed the maximum lawfully permitted, Lender will instead apply such money to fees and expenses and then to early prepayment of principal with all applicable pre-payment penalties.

(b) ACH. All payments due to Lender must be, at Lender’s option, paid to Lender in cash or through ACH. Borrower shall execute and deliver the ACH Authorization Form substantially in the form of Exhibit G. If the ACH payment arrangement is terminated for any reason, Borrower shall make all payments due to Lender at Lender’s address specified in Section 11.

(c) Default Rate. While an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, interest on the principal amount of the Loan shall be increased to the Default Rate. Lender’s failure to charge or accrue interest at the Default Rate during the existence of a Default shall not be deemed a waiver by Lender of its right or claim thereto.

(d) Date. Whenever any payment due under the Loan Documents is due on a day other than a business day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

2.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender the following:

(a) Commitment Fee. The Commitment Fee, which has been previously paid by Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender to Lender’s Expenses and other Obligations;

(b) Late Fee. On demand, a late charge on any sums due hereunder that are not paid when due, in an amount equal to 2% of the past due amount, payable on demand.

(c) Lender’s Expenses. The payment of all Lender’s Expenses, which may become due to Lender by Borrower hereunder shall be payable by Borrower promptly on written demand (with reasonable detail of such expenses) by Lender. All Lender’s Expenses not paid when due shall bear interest as principal at the then-applicable rate of interest.

Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a Note and such other documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably require for each Advance made.
