(a) Interest shall accrue under this Note at a rate of interest per annum equal to 4.5566 (the “Interest Rate”).

(b) Interest shall be calculated at the rate of Actual/360 of the annual rate of interest for each day that principal is outstanding (i.e., interest will accrue and be paid on the actual number of calendar days elapsed from the date hereof and based on a 360-day year).

This Note shall continue in full force and effect until all obligations and liabilities evidenced by this Note are paid in full. Nothing contained in this Note or otherwise is intended, nor shall constitute, an obligation of the Lender to make any loan or advance.

Commencing on May 28, 2017 and continuing on the twenty-eighth (28th) day of each month thereafter, Borrower shall make monthly payments of principal and interest in an amount equal to $149,350.14, until April 28, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). In addition, within thirty (30) days after the delivery to Lender of the financial statements required under Section 6(a) of the Loan Agreement, Borrower shall make an annual principal payment under the Loan in an amount equal to $700,000 each during the term of the Loan. Unless this Note is otherwise accelerated in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note plus all accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

If any payment under this Note shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to charge the Borrower’s deposit account at the Lender for any payment when due. “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to be closed for business in New York, New York or in Miami, Florida.

Borrower may prepay the Note in whole or in part at any time during the term of the Note without penalty or premium, except as set forth below; provided, however, Borrower acknowledges that such prepayment may result in Lender incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay all of Lender’s out-of-pocket costs associated with such prepayment, including, but not limited to, outside counsel reasonable attorneys’ fees, any swap transaction breakage fees or termination fees and any other yield maintenance fees of Lender.

Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time during the term of this Note upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Lender. Prepayment in part or in full of the principal amount, whether made voluntarily by Borrower or by reason of Lender’s exercise of its rights, upon Borrower’s default, to accelerate the unpaid principal amount (irrespective of whether or not foreclosure proceedings have been commenced), will be accompanied by the following:

(a) The Borrower will pay Lender, on the same date the prepayment is made, a break funding charge to cover loss, cost and expense attributable to such an event. Such loss, cost or expense to the Lender shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to an amount determined by the Lender as follows:

(i) Calculate the Lender’s remaining interest cost based on (a) the most current Lender funding rate assigned upon origination, last repricing date or last prepayment date, times (b) the principal amount of the prepayment amortized accordingly times (c) the remaining period of time until the earlier of this Note’s expiration or next repricing date, dayweighted accordingly.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower’s annual principal payments of $700,000 required in accordance with the terms of Section B above and Section 6(a) of the Loan Agreement shall not be subject to any prepayment penalty or premium as contemplated under this Section C.

This Note is secured, in part, by the collateral granted under (i) that certain Security Agreement dated as of even date herewith from CODA OCTOPUS GROUP, INC. in favor of Lender (as the same may be amended or modified from time to time, the “Coda Octopus Group Security Agreement”), (ii) that certain Security Agreement dated as of even date herewith from CODA OCTOPUS PRODUCTS, INC. in favor of Lender (as the same may be amended or modified from time to time, the “Coda Octopus Products Security Agreement”), (iii) that certain Security Agreement dated as of even date herewith from CODA OCTOPUS COLMEK, INC. in favor of Lender (as the same may be amended or modified from time to time, the “Coda Octopus Colmek Security Agreement”; and together with the Coda Octopus Group Security Agreement and the Coda Octopus Products Security Agreement, individually and/or collectively, the “Security Agreement”), and (iv) all other security instruments executed in connection therewith.

This Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Agreement and all other documents and instruments executed in connection with this Note are hereinafter individually and/or collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”.

If Borrower fails to make timely payment of any amounts due hereunder, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable law, increase the interest rate on this Note by adding four percent (4%) per annum (the “Default Rate”). However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.

Lender may collect a late charge not to exceed an amount equal to five percent (5%) of any installment which is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof, to cover the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments, provided that collection of said late charge shall not be deemed a waiver by Lender of any of its rights under this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no grace period or late charges for payments due on the outstanding principal balance due on the Maturity Date or upon acceleration, as set forth in Section H below, but such outstanding balance shall accrue interest at the Default Rate.

If any of the “Events of Default” (as defined in the Loan Agreement) occur and are not cured within any applicable cure period set forth in the Loan Agreement, at the Lender’s option, exercisable in its sole discretion, all sums of principal and interest under this Note shall be accelerated and become immediately due and payable without notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or other notices or demands of any kind or character, except as specifically provided in the Loan Agreement.

All persons now or at any time liable for payment of this Note hereby waive presentment, protest, notice of protest and dishonor. The Borrower expressly consents to any extension or renewal, in whole or in part, and all delays in time of payment or other performance which Lender may grant at any time and from time to time without limitation and without any notice or further consent of the undersigned.

The remedies of Lender as provided herein, or in the Security Agreement, the Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as the occasion therefor shall arise.

The Lender may, in the sole discretion of Lender, accept payments made by Borrower after any default has occurred, without waiving any of Lender’s rights herein.

In the event that this Note is collected by law or through attorneys at law, or under advice therefrom (whether such attorneys are employees of Lender or an affiliate of Lender or are outside counsel), Borrower and any endorser, guarantor or other person primarily or secondarily liable for payment hereof hereby, severally and jointly agree to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees including reasonable charges for paralegals, appraisers, experts and consultants working under the direction or supervision of Lender’s attorneys, whether or not suit is brought, and whether incurred in connection with collection, trial, appeal, bankruptcy or other creditors’ proceedings or otherwise.

Nothing herein contained, nor any transaction related thereto, shall be construed or so operate as to require Borrower or any person liable for the repayment of same, to pay interest in an amount or at a rate greater than the maximum allowed by applicable law. Should any interest or other charges paid by Borrower, or any parties liable for the payment of the Loan made pursuant to this Note, result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the maximum legal rate of interest permitted under the law in effect while said interest is being earned, then any and all of such excess shall be and is waived by Lender, and all such excess shall be automatically credited against and in reduction of the principal balance, and any portion of the excess that exceeds the principal balance shall be paid by Lender to Borrower or any parties liable for the payment of the Loan made pursuant to this Note so that under no circumstances shall the Borrower, or any parties liable for the payment of the Loan hereunder, be required to pay interest in excess of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
