It is intended that the Loan Proceeds shall be used by Borrower for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
This Secured Promissory Note (this Note) shall bear simple interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The Borrower agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and/or after any stated or any accelerated maturity of the Loan hereunder, the Loan shall bear simple interest at a rate equal to eleven percent (11%) per annum payable on demand. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In no event shall interest payable hereunder be in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. If any payment to be so made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
All payments made in connection with this Note shall be in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. All such payments shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due to the Lender (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal; provided, however, that after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, payments will be applied to the obligations of the Borrower to the Lender as the Lender determines in its sole discretion.
