This Note is being issued pursuant to that certain Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 13 2021, by and among the Borrower, Seller and the other parties thereto (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Note are defined in Section 6 below.
1.
Interest. The outstanding principal amount of this Note shall accrue interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum (calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 365 days as may be adjusted below, the “Interest Rate”), due and payable in cash (for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the Subordination Agreement), on each Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the Subordination Agreement, the Borrower shall pay all accrued but unpaid interest on this Note in cash on the Maturity Date. If any amount of principal of this Note is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at 10.0% per annum (the “Default Rate”) at all times to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. While any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Note Obligations hereunder at a rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable by the Borrower upon Lender’s demand. Interest on this Note shall be due and payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Payment Date and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtor relief laws. In the event any interest is paid on this Note which is deemed to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of this Note.
