3. Payment of Loan. The entire Loan, plus all then accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the earlier of January 1, 2024 or such time as the Maker receives debt or equity financing, or proceeds from the Company’s proposed transaction with Fedson, Inc., in excess of $500,000 (the “Maturity Date”).
4. Prepayment. Maker may prepay this Note in whole or in part and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon at any time without premium or penalty.

In case of a Default pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, Holder shall be entitled to declare the entire outstanding Loan, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon at the rate specified above, immediately due and payable. In case of a Default pursuant to clause (iii) above, the entire outstanding Loan, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon at the rate specified above, shall become immediately due and payable without notice to or action of any kind by Holder.
If any amount required to be paid pursuant to this Note is not paid in full when due, Maker shall pay to Holder all costs and expenses of collection, including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitration fees and costs, and court fees and costs.
All payments on this Note shall be applied: first, to any costs and expenses of collection then due; second, to accrued and unpaid interest; and third, any remainder to the unpaid Loan amount then outstanding.
6. Powers and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
