Any part of the Principal Amount shall bear interest from the date it was transferred to the Borrower, at a rate of 7% per annum (or 9% per annum if the Transaction is eventually not consummated prior to the Repayment Date), compounded annually and calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed (the “Interest”, and together with the Principal Amount – the “Loan Amount”). The Borrower has a right, at its sole discretion, to prepay the Loan Amount at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
