The Company shall pay the First Holder Make-Up Payment and accrued interest thereunder to the First Holder in monthly installments of $11,000, payable on the first business day of each month, beginning January 2, 2024, and until the First Holder Make-Up Payment is paid in full. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the final payment may be less than $11,000. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may make additional partial payments or full payment at any time.
