Requests for advances under the credit agreement may be made by the Company at any time and from time to time until May 21, 2011. No advances will be made if the aggregate amount outstanding under the credit agreement would exceed $250,000 or if any outstanding advance has been outstanding more than 75 days. Kopin may refuse to make any requested advance if (a) an event of default under the credit agreement or any purchase order has occurred and is continuing, (b) if an event has occurred and is continuing or condition exists which, with the giving of notice or passing of time or both, would constitute an event of default under the credit agreement, or (c) if any representations made under the credit agreement was not true when made or is not true at the time of any advance request or (d) since the date of the credit agreement there shall have been an event or circumstance or change in condition that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company its operations or its business.
 
Simple interest at the rate of 12% per annum on the amounts advanced under the credit agreement shall accrue beginning 30 days after each advance is made until paid in full. Simple interest at the rate of 16% per annum shall accrue on any amount not paid when due. Each advance, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall be due and payable within 75 days of the date on which such advance was made. All outstanding advances, together with any accrued interest and other unpaid charges or fees, shall be due and payable on May 21, 2011 or such later date as the Company and Kopin shall agree upon (the “Maturity Date”).
 
Kopin may declare all outstanding advances, together with accrued interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable and may suspend or terminate its obligation to make additional advances, upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default: (a) the Company's failure to pay principal or interest when due, (b) the Company's material breach of any of the representations or warranties made in the credit agreement, (c) the Company's breach of any covenant in the credit agreement, other than a breach constituting a separate and distinct event of default under the credit agreement, if such failure is not cured within days after notice, (d) the filing of petition in bankruptcy by or against the Company, unless in the case of a petition filed against the Company such petition is dismissed within 60 days after it was filed, or (e) since the date of the credit agreement there shall have been an event or circumstance or change in condition that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company its operations or its business.
