UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
Loan No.: 1135287
County Bank (the "Lender")
19927 Shuttle Road
Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971
Jessica B. Rinas
(Collectively and individually known as the "Borrower")
Principal Amount: $31,200.00
Expected Funding Date: 06/24/2022
Maturity Date: 06/25/2029
Annual Interest Rate: 17.99000%
Loan Number: 1135287
In this Unsecured Promissory Note, which includes the Unsecured Promissory Note Truth in Lending Disclosure (the "TILA Disclosures"), the Arbitration Clause in Exhibit A and Lender's privacy policy (collectively, the "Note"), the words "Borrower", "you" and "your" mean, collectively and individually, each Borrower identified above. The words "Lender," "we," "us," and "our" mean the lender identified above and its designees, assignees and service providers (including, but not limited to, Bankers Healthcare Group, LLC. (BHG).
Arbitration Notice: EXHIBIT A IS AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE WHICH WILL APPLY TO YOU UNLESS YOU REJECT IT AS PROVIDED IN EXHIBIT A OR YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES OR A DEPENDENT OF SUCH A MEMBER (I.E., A COVERED BORROWER) PROTECTED BY THE FEDERAL MILITARY LENDING ACT. IF APPLICABLE, THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE WILL SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS IF A DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN YOU AND US. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION RELATING TO MATTERS ARISING UNDER THIS NOTE.
PROMISE TO PAY. You hereby promise to pay to Lender, or its Order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of Thirty-One Thousand, Two Hundred DOLLARS and NO CENTS ($31,200.00) (the "Principal Amount"), together with interest due on the unpaid Principal Amount hereunder and any other fees or charges you owe us as provided for under this Note. The Principal Amount includes the Prepaid Interest, the Origination Fee and, if applicable, the Florida Documentary Stamp Tax.
ESTIMATES IN TILA DISCLOSURES If no amount is given to you directly, we had to estimate the Annual Percentage Rate, Finance Charge, Total of Payments and Payment Schedule in the TILA Disclosures above because we did not know exactly when the proceeds of the loan (the "Loan Proceeds") would be disbursed. This estimate is based on the date we expect to electronically transmit the funds to the bank account you designated on the form entitled "Bank Account Information for ACH Funding" during the application process (the "Bank Account") (i.e., the Expected Funding Date), one Business Day (as defined below) from the loan date indicated in the signature block below if you complete the transaction before 5:00 p.m. ET. Banking delays or holidays, or delays in making contact with you to verify the provided information may cause the Loan Proceeds to be disbursed later than estimated.
INTEREST. This is a loan with a fixed rate. The Annual Interest Rate, stated in the above table, for this Note is applied on a 30/360 basis (i.e., the Annual Interest Rate is divided by 360 and applied as if each month has 30 days, regardless of the number of actual days in a month). You agree to pay us interest as described below.
Prepaid Interest. We charge Prepaid Interest on the Principal Amount for the "Interim Period." The Interim Period is the period that begins on the date that we actually disburse the Loan Proceeds to you until the last day of the month in which you execute the Note. The Prepaid Interest is equal to the amount disclosed in the itemization of Amount Financed in your TILA Disclosures under "Prepaid Finance Charges." The Prepaid Interest is included in the Principal Amount on which we charge interest but is deducted from the amount of the Loan Proceeds that are actually disbursed to you. **This means that the amount of the Loan Proceeds to be disbursed to you will be reduced by the amount of the Prepaid Interest and as a result will be a lesser amount than you requested.** We will rebate any unearned portion of the Prepaid Interest pursuant to applicable law if you prepay in full.
Periodic Interest. We charge Periodic Interest on the outstanding Principal Amount each day starting on the first day after the Interim Period until the date the loan is paid in full.
ADDITIONAL PREPAID FINANCE CHARGES. We charge the additional prepaid finance charges indicated below, as applicable, that are due in full at origination and are included in the Principal Amount of your loan. For the purposes of the TILA Disclosures, those prepaid finance charges are disclosed under "Prepaid Finance Charges" in the Itemization of the Amount Financed but are not included in the Amount Financed. You acknowledge that each of the fees below is included in the Principal Amount on which we charge interest:
Origination Fee: You agree to pay us a non-refundable origination fee that is equal to 4.00% of the initial principal amount (i.e., the Principal Amount prior to inclusion of the Origination Fee) and indicated in the Itemization of Amount Financed in your TILA Disclosures under "Prepaid Finance Charges." The non-refundable origination fee is included in the Principal Amount, but does not impact the amount of the Loan Proceeds that are disbursed to you.
Florida Documentary Stamp Tax (Florida Residents Only): For Florida residents, the amount of any Florida Documentary Stamp Tax due in connection with your loan is indicated in the Itemization of the Amount Financed in your TILA Disclosures under "Prepaid Finance Charges." If the Florida Documentary Stamp Tax is due, it is included in the Principal Amount but is deducted from the Loan Proceeds. **This means that the amount of the Loan Proceeds to be disbursed to you will be reduced by the amount of the Florida Documentary Stamp Tax and as a result will be a lesser amount than you requested.**
LATE FEE. If any payment is not paid in full within 5 days after its scheduled payment date, you agree to pay a "Late Fee" equal to the lesser of $40 or 5.00% of the outstanding amount of the scheduled payment. You authorize us to collect Late Fees by initiating an ACH debit from the Bank Account. Any Late Fee assessed is immediately due and payable. Any payment received by us on a day that is not a Business Day or after 6:00 P.M. Eastern Time, on a Business Day, shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. A "Business Day" is defined as Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays and any day that banks in Delaware are closed.
INSUFFICIENT FUNDS FEE: You agree to pay an "Insufficient Funds Fee" of $20 for an Automatic Payment or check is returned due to insufficient funds in your applicable account or for any other reason as permitted by applicable law. You acknowledge that the bank that holds your applicable account may charge an additional fee. Each attempt to collect a payment is considered a separate transaction, so an Insufficient Funds Fee will be assessed for each failed attempt.
PAYMENT. You will pay regular monthly payments of unpaid principal and accrued interest in the amount of six hundred fifty-five dollars & 57/100 ($655.57) commencing on 07/25/2022, and on the same day of each successive month thereafter until 06/25/2029, by one of the methods described in the paragraph entitled "Payment Options" below. If the monthly payment is due on the 29th, 30th or 31st of the month, and a payment is required during a month that does not have a 29th, 30th, or 31st day, the monthly payment will be due on the last day of the month in which the payment was due.
