1. 1 | Subject to the terms herein, the Lender shall provide the Borrower with a loan in the aggregate principal amount of US $560,000 (the “Loan” and the “Loan Amount” respectively). | |
1.2 | The Loan Amount shall bear compounding interest at the rate of 4% per annum, compounding annually commencing has of the date hereof (the “Interest”). |
