(the “Company”)., secured funding (the “PPP Loan”)pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act. Under the PPP Loan we will receive $1,074,030, which bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum. The PPP Loan is being made through the Bank of America (the “Bank”). The PPP Loan is evidenced by a note dated April 16, 2020, which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties. We may prepay the PPP Loan at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.
Under the terms of the Paycheck Protection Program, certain amounts of the PPP Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. We intend to use all proceeds from the PPP Loan for such qualifying expenses.
