elapsed over a 360-day year, applied to the principal balance from time to time outstanding hereunder; 
 (b) The Default
Interest Rate (as hereinafter defined), as from time to time in effect, calculated daily on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 360-day year, applied to the principal balance from time to time outstanding hereunder; and 

(c) All Additional Sums (as hereinafter defined), if any.

applicable, the Default Interest Rate, next to the principal balance then outstanding hereunder, and the remainder to any Additional Sums or other costs or added charges provided for herein. Payments hereunder shall be made at the address for Lender
first set forth above, or at such other address as Lender may specify to Borrower in writing. 
 7. Prepayments. Payments
of principal hereof may be made at any time, or from time to time, in whole or in part, without penalty, provided that all previously matured interest and other charges accrued to the date of prepayment are also paid in full. Notwithstanding any
partial prepayment of principal hereof, there will be no change in the due date or amount of scheduled payments due hereunder unless Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, agrees in writing to such change.

maximum amount permitted by law; and (b) any excess amount previously collected from Borrower in connection with this lending transaction that exceeded the maximum amount permitted by law, will be credited against the principal balance then
