Subject to the terms of the Note, the PPP Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 1% per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred, has a term of two years, and is unsecured and guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. The Company may apply to the Lender for forgiveness of the PPP Loan, with the amount which may be forgiven equal to the sum of payroll costs, covered rent and mortgage obligations, and covered utility payments incurred by the Company during the eight-week period beginning on April 10, 2020, calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act.

The Note provides for customary events of default including, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and insolvency events. The PPP Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.
