the Advance Date.

(b) Interest. The principal balance of the Term Loan Advance shall bear interest thereon from such

Borrower has the option to pay the aforesaid sum over 12 months during that same year on the 10 th of

Term Loan Maturity Date (along with of course the 7% interest rate corresponding to 2.1 (c)).

reimbursement has been made.

(f) Payment obligation. Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement without setoff,
recoupment or deduction and regardless of any counterclaim or defense.

(g) Clarification of Payments. The only payments Borrower is to make to Lender are simply the Term Loan
