The Borrower shall pay interest on any amount of principal not paid when due from the date on which payment was due to the date of payment at a rate equal to five percent (5%) per annum above the Interest Rate (the “Default Interest Rate”).
2.3 Prepayment. At Borrower’s option, prepayments of outstanding principal may be made without penalty at any time prior to the Maturity Date; provided, that any prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the amount of such principal prepayment.
2.4 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in force and effect until the Maturity Date, or any extension thereof.
2.5 Conversion of the Loan.

Any remaining amount of the outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest under the Note not so converted, if any, shall be settled in cash pursuant to Section 1.03 of the Note.

Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything in any Note or in this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum, aggregate amount of interest and other charges constituting interest under applicable law that are payable, chargeable, or receivable under any Note and this Agreement shall not exceed the maximum amount of interest now allowed by applicable law or any greater amount of interest allowed because of a future amendment to existing law. Borrower is not liable for any interest in excess of the maximum lawful amount, and any excess interest charged or collected by Lender will constitute an inadvertent mistake and, if charged but not paid, will be cancelled automatically, or, if paid, will be either refunded to Borrower or credited against the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Note, at the election of Lender.
2.10 Registration Rights. Xxxxxx understands that neither the Note, nor the Conversion Shares that may be acquired upon conversion of the Note (the Conversion Shares together with the Note, the “Securities”), have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and Borrower has no obligation to register the Securities.
