PAYMENT TERMS, CONVERSION AND CONDITIONS
1.01 Accrual and Calculation of Interest. Commencing the date hereof, interest shall accrue at the rate of twelve percent (12.0%) per annum. Interest shall be computed hereunder based on a 360-day year, and shall accrue for each and every day (365 days per year, 366 days per leap year) on which any indebtedness remains outstanding hereunder. In computing the number of days during which interest accrues, the day on which funds are initially advanced shall be included regardless of the time of day such advance is made, and the day on which funds are repaid shall be included unless repayment is credited prior to close of business. Payment in federal funds immediately available in the place designated for payment and received by Holder prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at said place of payment shall be credited prior to close of business, while other payments may, at the option of Holder, not be credited until immediately available to Holder in federal funds in the place designated for payment prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at said place of payment on a day that Holder is open for business. Fifty percent (50%) of any interest payable hereunder shall automatically accrue and be capitalized to the principal amount of this Promissory Note and Security Agreement (“PIK Interest”). All PIK Interest that has accrued shall be payable in cash on the Maturity Date as part of the repayment of the principal amount of this Promissory Note and Security Agreement.
1.02 Payment of Principal and Interest. For so long as this Promissory Note and Security Agreement has not fully converted pursuant to Section 1.05 hereof, on each of the first eleven Monthly Payment Dates (as defined below), Maker shall make payments of interest due hereunder (but no principal repayments and excluding PIK Interest), which will be calculated by Maker based upon the daily outstanding principal loan balance hereunder (including PIK Interest) for the immediately preceding Monthly Period (as defined below). Thereafter, unless converted into securities of Maker pursuant to Section 1.05 hereof, the entire principal amount of this Promissory Note and Security Agreement, as well as all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder, including all PIK Interest, shall be repaid Maker on the twelfth Monthly Payment Date (the “Maturity Date”). For purposes hereof, “Monthly Payment Date” means the last Business Day of each calendar month, commencing with the month in which the date of this Promissory Note and Security Agreement occurred. For purposes hereof, “Monthly Period” means a calendar month.

Both principal and interest shall be payable without deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or other charges levied or imposed on this Promissory Note and Security Agreement, the proceeds hereof or on the ownership hereof by any government or any instrumentality, authority or political subdivision thereof. The Maker agrees, upon the request of Holder, to pay all such taxes (other than taxes on or measured by net income of Holder), duties and other charges in addition to the principal and interest evidenced by this Promissory Note and Security Agreement.
