1.                                      Interest

 

Emergent Capital, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”, which term shall include any successor company under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate of 5.00% per annum. The Company shall pay interest semiannually, in arrears, on February 15 and August 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on August 15, 2017. Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall include interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or if none, from and including [                   ], 2017) to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date. Cash interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Any payment required to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such day and without any interest in respect of the delay. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay interest in immediately available funds on overdue principal and interest at the then applicable interest rate borne by this Security, which interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was originally due to the day preceding the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for.

 

Any reference herein to interest accrued or payable as of any date shall include any Additional Interest that may be payable in accordance with the provision of Section 8.16 of the Indenture and any Special Interest that may be payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.02 of the Indenture.

The Holder must surrender this Security to a Paying Agent to collect payment of principal. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The terms of this Security include those stated in the Indenture and those required by or made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture. This Security is subject to all such terms, and the Holder of this Security is referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them.
