FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company hereby promises to pay to the Holder the principal amount of $28,891,933.41 (representing the original principal, capitalized interest and accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Promissory Note, and as may be reduced pursuant to Section 1(b), Section 4(d) or increased pursuant to Section 2, the “Principal Amount”) when due (whether on the Maturity Date, pursuant to acceleration or otherwise) and to pay interest at the rates and times as set forth in this Promissory Note. The Company acknowledges that such amounts shall be due and payable on December 31, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”).

1.
PAYMENT AT MATURITY.
(a)
Payment at Maturity. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the outstanding Principal Amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus any other obligations then due or payable under this Promissory Note.
(b)
Prepayment Right. Upon two (2) Business Days’ irrevocable prior written notice to the Holder (each a “Prepayment Notice”), the Company may prepay all or any portion of the then outstanding Principal Amount together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal Amount. The portion of the Principal Amount to be prepaid by the Company (each a “Prepayment Amount”) and the date selected by the Company for such prepayment (each a “Prepayment Date”) shall be set forth in the applicable Prepayment Notice; provided that the Prepayment Date shall be no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date on which the Prepayment Notice is delivered to the Holder.

interest on the Principal Amount so repaid. In connection with any payment of a portion of the Principal Amount pursuant to this Section 1(b), upon payment of such Principal Amount in accordance with this Section 1(b) together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Principal Amount, the Principal Amount of this Note shall be deemed reduced by the portion of the Principal Amount so prepaid.
2.
INTEREST. On and following the Issuance Date and until the Principal Amount and all other Note Obligations have been indefeasibly repaid in full in cash, interest will accrue at a rate of 16.0% per annum (the “Interest Rate”). Interest shall be payable in cash every 30 calendar days after the Issuance Date (each an “Interest Payment Date”) on the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Promissory Note and all other amounts owed and not yet paid as of such date (including any accrued and unpaid interest); provided that, by irrevocable written election to be delivered to Holder no later than two (2) Business Days in advance of each Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to pay the interest due on such Interest Payment Date in kind (in lieu of payment in cash), which amount of interest shall be automatically added to the Principal Amount and capitalized on such Interest Payment Date. In all cases interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder and election notice from Holder, the Interest Rate shall automatically increase by an additional 200 basis points per annum, which increase may be applied retroactively from the date of occurrence of such Event of Default at Holder’s election.
