Information

A Promissory Note creates an obligation for a Borrower to repay a loan back to a Lender together with a
certain amount of interest.

Whenever a person lends money to another person, it is generally a good idea to have some document
memorializing the transaction. The document should indicate identify the parties, the amount
borrowed, the time for repayment, the rate of interest, conditions of default and any other necessary
terms.

Just like any contract, a Promissory Note can help the Lender enforce repayment terms and can be
useful in any effort necessary to collect the amount lent.

There are different types of Promissory Notes and countless different ways to structure a Note. Some
Promissory Notes require a payment of the amount borrowed (“Principal”) plus interest at once, while
others require periodic payments of interest, followed by a lump sum payment of the amount
borrowed.

This particular Promissory Note – On Demand requires payment of the principal and interest at any time
the lender requests it (i.e. upon demand of the Lender).
