TERMS OF LOAN

 

1.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of the sum of seven hundred fifty-six thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($756,250.00) (“Loan”) together with interest thereon at six percent (6%) per annum (“Interest Rate”).

 

1.2 Loan Repayment Term. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.2, the principal amount the Loan outstanding shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date the proceeds of such Loan are made available to or for the benefit of the Borrower until Maturity thereof. Accrued interest will be due and payable monthly in arrears, on the last business day of each month (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on July 31, 2020. Interest for each billing period is computed by calculating a daily periodic rate based on the interest rate for the Loan’s ending balance. Interest rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed. Daily balance of the Loan shall be computed by taking the principal balance of the Loan (which for this purpose shall include principal only and not include accrued interest) at the beginning of each day, and subtracting any principal payments received by the Lender with respect to the Loan as of that day. The principal balance of, and accrued interest on, a Loan which remains unpaid after the Maturity of such Loan shall bear interest until paid in full at a default rate of ten percent (10%) per annum above the Interest Rate (the “Default Rate”) or the maximum rate permitted under California law, whichever is lower.

 

 

 

 

1.3 Penalty for Late Payment. Borrower shall incur a two percent (2%) penalty for any late payment computed upon the amount of any principal and accrued interest whose payment to Lender is overdue under this Agreement and for which Lender has delivered a Notice of Default to Borrower.

 

1.4 Method of Loan Payment. Payments on the Loan shall be made by cashier’s check, certified check, by wire transfer, or any other method of payment deemed satisfactory to the Lender.

 

1.5 Payment on Maturity Date. The entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan and all accrued unpaid interest shall be due and payable on July 31, 2050.

 

1.6 No Prepayment Penalty. There shall be no penalty for prepayment of the entire Loan and all accrued unpaid interest prior to the Maturity Date
