Note 10 – The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan

On May 8, 2020, the Company obtained a loan in the amount of $250,832 (the “PPP loan”) from Bank of America (the “Lender”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economics Security Act (the “CARES Act”) that was signed into law in March 2020. In accordance with the PPP, the Company was permitted to use the PPP loan proceeds to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, rent, utilities and other permitted expenses. The PPP loan is evidenced by a promissory note, dated effective May 1, 2020, issued by the Company to the Lender. The PPP loan is unsecured with a 2-year term, matures on May 7, 2022, and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum. Under the terms of the PPP, the PPP loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. In addition, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest may be forgiven to the extent the PPP loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the PPP (including that up to 75% of such loan funds are used for payroll). The Company submitted an application with the SBA for forgiveness in January 2021. Payments under this note have been deferred by the bank until the forgiveness status of the loan is ascertained. The Company used the entire PPP loan amount for designated qualifying expenses and has applied for forgiveness of the loan in accordance with the terms of the PPP. No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the loan in whole or in part. With respect to any portion of the PPP loan that is not forgiven, the loan will be subject to customary provisions for a loan of this type, including customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of the provisions of the PPP loan and cross-defaults.
