The Company shall pay simple interest at the rate of 10% per annum on the Principal Amount of the Note outstanding from time to time, calculated each calendar quarter not in advance (the “Interest”). Subject to the provisions hereof, payment of interest in respect of a calendar quarter shall be made two weeks after the end of that quarter. If payment of accrued interest in respect of one or more calendar quarters is not made in the time provided, then interest shall continue to accrue and instead be payable for the immediately following calendar quarter in the same manner. No interest is payable in respect of any portion of the Principal Amount which has been converted into common stock of the Company, or which has been repaid by the Company to the Holder.

Redemption.
