On or after Maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, said rate of interest or the then unpaid principal balance of the Note shall accrue at the Prime Rate plus 5% per annum from the date of Maturity until the unpaid balances of principal of this Note have been paid in full. Any payments received hereunder shall be applied first to interest and then to principal. “Maturity” shall mean the earliest to occur of (i) November 1, 2031 or (ii) termination of the Financing Agreement dated contemporaneously herewith executed by the Borrower in favor of Lender as it may hereafter be amended (“Financing Agreement”) Capitalized terms herein not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Financing Agreement.

 

Upon an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing after the expiration of any applicable cure period, the entire principal amount hereof or the unpaid balance thereof, together with interest thereon, shall at the option of the holder hereof immediately become due and payable pursuant to the Financing Agreement and other Loan Documents. The failure to assert this right shall not be deemed a waiver thereof. Lender is also entitled to any and all remedies as provided in the Financing Agreement.

 

All obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be included in the term “Obligations” as defined in the Financing Agreement. This Note is collaterally secured by all of the security interests heretofore or hereafter granted to Lender by the Borrower, including but not limited to the security interests granted Lender by the Borrower under the Financing Agreement, the Loan Documents and related agreements entered into between the Borrower and the Lender.

 

This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part upon in accordance with the Financing Agreement. All partial prepayments, whether voluntary or mandatory (by agreement or otherwise), shall be applied to the principal balance of installments due upon this Note in inverse order of the maturity thereof.
