2.       Payment of Principal and Interest. All principal of and interest accruing on this Note shall be due and payable in 12 equal, successive monthly installments of principal and interest due on the first day of each calendar month commencing on June 1st, 2019 and ending on June 1st, 2020 (each a “Payment Date”). On June 1st, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”) all amounts due under this Note shall become due and payable.

 

3.       Interest Rate. The principal amount due under this Note shall bear interest at a flat, fixed interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum, calculated from the initial Payment Date through to the date in which all amounts due under this Note are paid in full.

 

4.       Manner of Payments. All payments of interest and principal shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America no later than 12:00 PM on each Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Payee’s account at a bank specified by the Payee in writing to the Maker from time to time.

 

5.       Default Interest. If any amount payable hereunder is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate of 10% from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full.

 

6.       Computation of Interests. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed.

 

7.       Interest Rate Limitation. If at any time and for any reason whatsoever, the interest rate payable hereunder shall exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by the Payee to the Maker under applicable Law, such interest rate shall be reduced automatically to the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable Law.

 

8.       Business Day Convention. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension will be taken into account in calculating the amount of interest payable under this Note.

 

9.       Evidence of Debt. The Payee is authorized to record on the grid attached hereto as Exhibit A each payment or prepayment made by the Maker. The entries made by the Payee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Maker therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Payee to record such payments or prepayments, or any inaccuracy therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Maker to repay (with applicable interest) the principal amount due under this Note, in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

10.       Offset Payments: If there are any outstanding and/or delinquent payments that have not been paid, including but not limited to, federal or state taxes, unemployment compensation, or any undisclosed debt per the Stock Purchase Agreement signed between Patrick Calderone and Focus Universal, Inc. by the Payee, the Maker may deduct those amounts from the outstanding payments owed to the Payee.

 

11.       Prepayment.

 

a.        This Note may be prepaid at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, without penalty.

b.       Each such prepayment shall be made by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

c.       Any partial prepayment of the outstanding principal balance shall in no way release, discharge or affect the obligation of the Maker to continue to make any other payments of principal or interest provided for herein until this Note is paid in full.
