3. Payment of Interest. Cash interest on the outstanding principal of the Loans will continue to be due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement until the earlier of the date the Loans are repaid in full or the extended Stated Maturity Date, on which date all outstanding principal and interest accrued thereon shall be due and payable.
