For value received, and intending to be legally bound, Xxxxxxxx promises to pay to the order of the Lender on demand the principal sum of up to One Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,750,000.00), or if less, the amounts actually borrowed from Lender as set forth on the schedule attached hereto, plus interest as agreed below and all fees and costs (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and disbursements whether for internal or outside counsel) the Lender incurs in order to collect any amount due under this Note, to negotiate or document a workout or restructuring, or to preserve its rights or realize upon any guaranty or other security for the payment of this Note (“Expenses”). Lender is hereby authorized to record on Schedule I hereto, and any continuation sheets which Lender may attach thereto, (a) the date and amount of each Advance to Borrower made by Xxxxxx (“Advances”), and (b) the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of any Advances. No failure to so record or any error in so recording shall affect the obligation of Xxxxxxxx to repay the Advances hereunder, together with interest thereon, as provided in this Note, and the outstanding principal balance of the Advances as set forth in Schedule I shall be presumed to be correct. Advances shall be used to repay existing trade indebtedness, repurchase common stock, and for other general corporate purposes.
Request for Advance. Xxxxxxxx shall request Advances from the Lender in writing not less than one business day prior to the requested date of such Advance, unless otherwise waived by Xxxxxx. Advances shall be in an amount of not less than $50,000.
Interest. The unpaid principal balance of this Note shall earn interest calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days in each year (365 or 366), from and including the date the proceeds of this Note are disbursed to, but not including, the date all amounts hereunder are paid in full, at a rate per year which shall be fixed at 8.00%.
Upfront Fee: In consideration for the Lender extending credit to the Borrower, the Borrower agrees to pay to Xxxxxx an upfront fee in the amount of $17,500, which shall be fully earned on the date the first Advance is made hereunder, and shall be payable out of the proceeds of the first Advance.
Due on Demand. This is a demand Note and all amounts referenced hereunder shall become immediately due and payable upon demand by the Lender; provided, however, that all amounts due hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable if Borrower or any guarantor or endorser of this Note commences or has commenced against it any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Borrower hereby waives protest, presentment and notice of any kind in connection with this Note. Absent demand for payment in full, interest shall be due and payable monthly.
Default Rate. If the Lender has not actually received any payment under this Note within ten (10) days after its due date, from and after such tenth day the interest rate for all amounts outstanding under this Note shall automatically increase to five (5) percentage points above the otherwise applicable rate per year, and any judgment entered hereon or otherwise in connection with any suit to collect amounts due hereunder shall bear interest at such default rate.
Payments; Due Date. Payments shall be made in immediately available United States funds at the Lender’s office set forth above, or to any other location given in writing by the Lender to the Borrower. Accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable to Lender on the last business day of each calendar quarter, and all accrued and unpaid interest, plus all outstanding principal amounts and other fees and expenses, shall be payable in full upon the earlier to occur of (a) demand by Xxxxxx, or (b) April 1, 2020.
Interest Accrual; Application of Payments. Interest will accrue at the rate set forth herein and shall be paid no later than the last day of each month. All payments (excluding voluntary prepayments of principal) will be applied as of the date each payment is received and processed. Payments may be applied in any order in the sole discretion of the Lender, but, prior to a payment default, may be applied chronologically (i.e., oldest Advance first) to unpaid amounts due and owing, in the following order: first to accrued interest, then to principal, then to escrow (if any), then to late charges and other fees, and then to all other Expenses.
Late Charges. If Borrower fails to pay, within five (5) days of its due date, any amount due and owing pursuant to this Note or any other agreement executed and delivered to the Lender in connection with this Note, Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lender a late charge equal to the greatest of (a) $50.00, or (b) five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount.
