3. Creditors of the remaining unsecured accounts payable agree to accept $.60 on the dollar. Cash is paid to these creditors and to the creditors with priority.
4. The creditor holding the 12%, $57,000 note (on which there is $6,000 accrued interest) agreed to extend the due date for two years from January 3, 2020, and to reduce the interest rate to 6% on the current carrying value of the debt ($63,000), payable annually.
5. The holder of the 10%, $54,400 unsecured note (on which there is $11,900 accrued interest) agreed to cancel the accrued interest and $14,400 of the principal; interest on the new note at 10% is due annually, with the principal due on January 3, 2018.
