(b)           Interest Rate.  Subject toSection 3(c), the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall bear interest from the date of advance until paid at a rate per annum is 8%.

(d)           Computation of Interest Rates.  Subject to applicable usury laws, interest shall be computed at a daily rate equal to 1/360 of the applicable rate of interest per annum, unless the Maximum Rate shall be in effect, in which case interest shall be computed at a daily rate equal to 1/365 or 1/366, as appropriate, of the applicable rate of interest per annum.





(e)           Optional Prepayments.  Maker shall have the right, from time to time, to prepay the unpaid principal of this Note, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon the payment of accrued interest on the amount prepaid to and including the date of payment.

All such payments shall be made to Payee at the address set forth above no later than 12:00 noon, eastern time, on the date due and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by Payee on the next following business day.  If any payment is scheduled to become due and payable on a day that is not a business day, such payment shall instead become due and payable on the immediately following business day and interest on the principal portion of such payment shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.  All payments made on this Note shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal.

3.           Usury Laws.   Regardless of any provisions contained in this Note, Payee shall never be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest on this Note, any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the event Payee ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and, if the principal balance of this Note is paid in full, then any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, Maker and Payee shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments hereunder) as an expense, fee, or premium, rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and (c) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of this Note so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term.





4.           Nonliability of Payee.  The relationship between Maker and Payee is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of Maker and Payee and Payee has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Maker.
