|
1. |
Interest Rate. |
1.1 Interest Prior to Default. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Promissory Note ("Note") from the date hereof up to but excluding the date of re-payment of the Loan on the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined) at an annual rate equal to the Loan Rate (as hereinafter defined).
(a) Loan Rate. The term “Loan Rate” shall mean : Interest at the rate of 5% per annum.
1.2 Interest After Default. From and after the Maturity Date or in any event upon occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the balance of principal remaining unpaid during any such period at an annual rate (“Default Rate”) equal to the highest rate allowed by law. If the Default Rate is unlimited by law, the Default Rate shall be equal to 8% per annum. The interest accruing under this paragraph shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower to the holder of this Note upon demand and shall be additional indebtedness evidenced by this Note.
|
2. |
Payment Terms. |
2.1 Principal and Interest. Payments of principal and interest due under this Note, if not sooner declared to be due in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall be made as follows: Commencing on April 1, 2006, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter for fifty nine (59) successive monthly installments of $18,871.23 representing both principal and interest. The unpaid principal balance of this Note, if not sooner paid or declared to be due in accordance with the terms hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts due and payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document (as hereinafter defined), shall be due and payable in full on March 1, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”).
2.2 Application of Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all payments and prepayments on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to fees, expenses, costs and other similar amounts then due and payable to Lender, including, without limitation any prepayment premium, or late charges due hereunder, (b) second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of this Note, (c) third, to the payment of principal due in the month in which the payment or prepayment is made, (d) fourth, to any escrows, impounds or other amounts which may then be due and payable under the Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), (e) fifth, to any other amounts then due Lender hereunder or under any of the
Loan Documents, and (f) last, to the unpaid principal balance of this Note in the inverse order of maturity. Any prepayment on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall not extend or postpone the due date or reduce the amount of any subsequent monthly payment of principal and interest due hereunder. After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments may be applied by Lender to amounts owed hereunder and under the Loan Documents in such order as Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion.
2.3 Method of Payments. All payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be paid by automatic debit, wire transfer, check or in coin or currency which, at the time or times of payment, is the legal tender for public and private debts in the United States of America and shall be made at such place as Lender or the legal holder or holders of this Note may from time to time appoint in the payment invoice or otherwise in writing, and in the absence of such appointment, then at the offices Riezman Xxxxxx, P.C., Attention: Xxxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Esq., 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xx. Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or as elsewhere designated in writing by Lender. Payment made by check shall be deemed paid on the date Lender receives such check; provided, however, that if such check is subsequently returned to Lender unpaid due to insufficient funds or otherwise, the payment shall not be deemed to have been made and shall continue to bear interest until collected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment due under this Note must be made by wire transfer or other final funds.
2.4 Late Charge. If any payment of interest or principal due hereunder is not made within ten days after such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof, then, in addition to the payment of the amount so due, Borrower shall pay to Lender a “late charge” of three percentage points (3%) of the amount so overdue (the “Late Charge”) to defray part of the cost of collection and handling such late payment. Borrower agrees that the damages to be sustained by the holder hereof for the detriment caused by any late payment are extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, and that the Late Charge is a reasonable estimate of such damages, does not constitute interest, and is not a penalty.

In addition to the Salary, Employee shall be paid a cash bonus for the fiscal year 2006 and each fiscal year thereafter (the “Performance Bonus”).

5. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the conclusion of its term by the Company for "cause," in which event(s) the Company shall have no further obligation to the Employee under this Agreement, except to cause Employer to pay Employee all accrued and unpaid salary, bonuses, other compensation and benefits, vacation, reimbursement of any business related expenses and commissions, if any, payable to Employee for services performed by Employee for the Employer prior to such termination.
