From and after the Restatement Date, interest accruing on the Loan shall be due and payable as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest payable in cash that has accrued under the Original Loan Agreement and remains unpaid as of the Restatement Date shall be paid on September 30, 2016, or deducted from the net proceeds due the Borrower from the Restatement Advance.
(b) Interest Payable in Cash. The interest accruing on the Loan shall be due and payable in arrears, in cash, on each Payment Date and at such other times as may be specified herein. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, the Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof as follows:
(i) one percent (1%) for the first Loan Year;
(ii) two percent (2%) for the second Loan Year;
(iii) three percent (3%) for the third Loan Year;
(iv) twelve percent (12%) for the fourth Loan Year; and
(v) fifteen percent (15%) thereafter, in each case, subject to the maximum amount permitted by law.
(c) AHYDO Catch-Up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if (i) the Loan remains outstanding after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the aggregate amount of the accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan (including any amounts treated as interest for federal income tax purposes, such as original issue discount (“OID”)) as of any Testing Date occurring after such fifth anniversary exceeds an amount equal to the Maximum Accrual, then all such accrued but unpaid interest on the Note (including any amounts treated as interest for federal income tax purposes, such as OID) as of such time in excess of an amount equal to the Maximum Accrual shall be paid in cash by the Borrower to the Lender (or any subsequent holder of the Note) on such Testing Date, it being the intent of the parties hereto that the deductibility of interest on the Loan shall not be limited or deferred by reason of Section 163(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”). For these purposes, the “Maximum Accrual” is an amount equal to the product of the Loan’s issue price (as defined in IRC Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a)) and its yield to maturity, and a “Testing Date” is any Interest Payment Date and the date on which any “accrual period” (within the meaning of IRC Section 1272(a)(5)) closes.
10 |
2.7 Default Rate. If any amount payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (with regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate. While any Event of Default exists and is continuing, Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at a rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. If interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan is payable at the Default Rate, then the amount of interest payable exceeding a fixed rate per annum of five percent (5.00%) shall be payable in cash on each Payment Date (or at such other times as may be specified herein), and not in kind.
2.8 Late Charge. Borrower shall pay to Lender a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of each payment of principal and/or interest not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof to cover the expenses to Lender resulting from such delinquent payment.
2.9 Repayment of Loan. Borrower shall repay to Lender on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of the Loan outstanding on such date.
2.10 Optional Prepayments. Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, voluntarily prepay the Loan in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, such prepayment to be payable in cash. In the event the Loan is prepaid for any reason or is accelerated due to an Event of Default, an amount shall become immediately due and payable by Borrower to Lender equal to all of the interest that would have accrued on the Loan through and including the Maturity Date (absent such prepayment or acceleration).
2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees and interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made. Each determination by Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
2.12 Evidence of Debt. The extensions of the Loan made by Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of such extensions made by Lender to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loan.
2.13 Payments Generally. All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Lender in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

4.4 Insurance.
(a) Keep all its property so insurable insured at all times with financially sound and reputable insurers against fire, theft and other risks (including, if required, flood) in coverage, form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender and as is customary in the case of other Persons engaged in the same or similar business or having similar properties similarly situated. Such insurance shall be in such minimum amounts that Borrower or any Subsidiary will not be deemed a co-insurer under applicable insurance laws, regulations and policies and otherwise shall be in such amounts, contain such terms, be in such forms and be for such periods as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. In addition, all such insurance shall be payable to Lender as loss payee under a “standard” or “New York” loss payee clause.
