Payroll Protection Program
 
The CARES Act was enacted on
March 27, 2020.
Among the provisions contained in the CARES Act is the creation of the PPP that provides for SBA Section
7
(a) loans for qualified small businesses. PPP Loan proceeds are available to be used to pay for payroll costs, including salaries, commissions, and similar compensation, group health care benefits, and paid leaves; rent; utilities; and interest on certain other outstanding debt. On
May 18, 2020,
the Lender funded the PPP Loan in the amount of
$366,000.
The amount that will be forgiven will be calculated in part with reference to the Company's full-time headcount during the
eight
-week or
twenty-four
-week period following the funding of the PPP loan. In accordance with the loan forgiveness requirements of the CARES Act, the Company intends to use the proceeds from the PPP Loan primarily for payroll costs, rent and utilities, thus the Company anticipates that
100%
of the loan will be forgiven. The interest rate on the PPP Loan is a fixed rate of
1%
per annum. To the extent that the amounts owed under the PPP Loan, or a portion of them, are
not
forgiven, the Company will be required to make principal and interest payments in monthly installments beginning
seven
months from the date of the PPP Loan. The PPP Loan matures in
two
years. The PPP Loan includes events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lender will have the right to exercise remedies against the Company, including the right to require immediate payment of all amounts due under the PPP Note.
