Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to make a loan to Borrower (the “Term Loan”) on the Closing Date in the amount of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000), which amount may be repaid at any time prior to the Maturity Date without premium or penalty, but may not be reborrowed once repaid.
(b) Term. All principal and accrued but unpaid interest shall be payable in full on the earlier to occur of the closing of the Private Placement or six months from the date hereof (the “Maturity Date”), provided, however, that if the Private Placement is not closed, the Term Loan shall be extended to the closing of a financing of at least $1,500,000 but in no event more than six months after the Maturity Date.
(c) Bridge Loan Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender a Bridge Loan Fee of $43,750 (the “Loan Fee”) payable on the maturity date of the Bridge Loan as it may be extended.
(d) Promissory Note. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) in the form of Exhibit “A-1” attached hereto, duly executed by Borrower.
(e) Interest on Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower agrees to pay interest on the entire unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan, as well as the Loan Fee, from the date of such Event of Default until the date the same is cured in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum of ten percent (10%).
(f) Manner of Payment. All payments of principal or interest hereunder or under the Note shall be delivered to Lender in immediately available funds on the date due at such place as Lender may from time to time designate.
(g) Limitation on Interest Rate and Fees. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder and charged or collected by Lender or any holder of the Note exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that Lender has charged or received interest hereunder or under the Note in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder and under the Note shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and Lender shall apply all interest paid in excess of the maximum lawful rate to the principal balance of the amount outstanding hereunder and under the Note.

To secure Borrower’s obligations with respect to the Term Loan, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in all of its assets, wherever located, it being understood, however, that the security interest hereunder shall be on parity with loans to Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 being made concurrently with the Term Loan by shareholders of Borrower herein regardless of the order of filing of financing statements.
