PROMISE TO
PAY:
In
return for the Loan, Borrower promises to pay to the order of
Lender the amount of Four Hundred Ten Thousand Seven Hundred
Dollars ($410,700 ), interest on the unpaid principal balance, and
all other amounts required by this Note. Under the PPP (as defined
below), certain amounts may be forgiven by the Lender under the
direction of the Administrator of the SBA so long as the
requirements of the PPP for forgiveness are satisfied. Until an
amount is forgiven, the principal amount owed is as set forth in
the preceding paragraph and interest accrues thereon. Forgiveness does not occur automatically.
Borrower must submit a request for forgiveness and all required
documentation, and forgiveness will not occur unless and until the
request for forgiveness is approved. Borrower should submit the
request for approval timely in accordance with the rules of the PPP
to avoid unnecessary delay.

PAYMENT
TERMS:
Borrower must make

The
Loan shall be repaid in full no later than two (2) years from the Disbursement Date
(the "Maturity Date"). Unless earlier forgiven in whole or in part,
subject to and in accordance with the Forgiveness
Guidelines
described (and
defined) below, the Borrower shall begin making monthly payments of
principal in equal installments in an amount that would fully
amortize the Loan by the Maturity Date, plus interest, in arrears,
calculated based upon the original principal amount of this Note
until the date of any forgiveness and on the remaining outstanding
principal balance thereafter, and a per annum interest rate of one
percent (1.00%) beginning seven months from the month of the
Disbursement Date; payments must be made on the date in the months
they are due that corresponds to the date in the month on which
proceeds were initially disbursed or, if no such corresponding
date, on the next succeeding business day. Interest shall accrue,
and be due and payable from, the date of initial disbursement of
the Loan. The interest rate will not be changed during the life of
the loan. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender automatically to deduct
from any deposit account(s) of Borrower with Lender, the amount of
any payment due under this Note. Lender will apply each installment
payment first to pay interest accrued to the day Lender receives
the payment, then to bring principal current, then to pay any late
fees, and will apply any remaining balance to reduce
principal.

required under the Forgiveness Guidelines or otherwise requested by
Lender supporting Borrower's request for loan forgiveness,
including documentation to determine whether the forgiven amount
must be reduced in accordance with the Forgiveness Guidelines. The
final amount of loan forgiveness, if any, shall be determined by

not expressly prohibited by, the Forgiveness Guidelines. Not more
than twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount forgiven shall be
attributable to non-Payroll Costs. Borrower has received an EIDL

amount will be subtracted from the loan forgiveness
amount.
