9. Notes Payable – PPP Loan
On April 16, 2020, the Company received $600,000 related to its filing under the Paycheck Protection Program and Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). The payment terms of the note are as follows:
|
1.
|
|
No payments during the deferral period, which is defined as the six-month period beginning on the date of the note of April 9, 2020.
|
|
2.
|
|
Commencing one month after the expiration of the deferral period, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until the maturity date, the Company shall pay to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the "Lender"), monthly payments of principal and interest, each in such equal amount required to fully amortize the principal amount outstanding on the note on the last day of the deferral period by the maturity date (twenty-four months from the date of the note, or April 9, 2022).
|
|
3.
|
|
On the maturity date, the Company shall pay the Lender any and all unpaid principal plus accrued and unpaid interest plus interest accrued during the deferral period.
|
|
4.
|
|
If any payment is due on a date for which there is no numerical equivalent in a particular calendar month then it shall be due on the last day of such month. If any payment is due on a day that is not a business day, the payment will be made on the next business day. The term "business day" means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which national banking associations are authorized to be closed.
|
|
5.
|
|
Payments shall be allocated among principal and interest at the discretion of Lender unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law. Notwithstanding, in the event the Loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the federal CARES Act, the amount so forgiven shall be applied to principal.
|
|
6.
|
|
The Company may prepay this note at any time without payment of any premium.
|
The Lender is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program to help businesses impacted by the economic impact from COVID-19. Forgiveness of this loan is only available for principal that is used for the limited purposes that qualify for forgiveness under the Small Business Administration's (the "SBA") requirements, and that to obtain forgiveness, the Company must request it and must provide documentation in accordance with Small Business Administration requirements, and certify that the amounts the Company is requesting to be forgiven qualify under those requirements. Forgiveness of the loan is dependent upon approval of the SBA and while the Company expects forgiveness of this loan under the current terms of requirement by the SBA, there can be no assurance or certainty that forgiveness will in fact occur.
At both September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Company owes the Lender $600,000. $362,000 is payable for the 12 months ending September 30, 2021 and $238,000 is payable for the 12 months ending September 30, 2022.
