If at any time it is calculated, Return of Investment Contingent Interest shall be a negative amount, no Return of Investment Contingent Interest shall at that time be payable to Holder, but Holder shall in no way be liable for any such negative amount and there shall be no deduction or offset for such negative amount at any time when Return of Investment Contingent Interest shall be subsequently calculated. 6 (iv) Usury Savings. No payment of Return of Investment Contingent Interest may, when added to all other payments of interest or payments construed as interest, shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 3. Usury Savings Clause. The provisions of this Section 3 shall govern and control over any irreconcilably inconsistent provision contained in this Note or in any other document evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced hereby. The Holder hereof shall never be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest hereon (for purposes of this Section 3, the word "interest" shall be deemed to include Basic Interest, Additional Interest and any other sums treated as interest under applicable law governing matters of usury and unlawful interest), any amount in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate (hereinafter defined) and, in the event the Holder ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed a partial prepayment of principal and shall be treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal of this Note is paid in full, 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 the Holder shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of this Note; provided, that if this Note is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence hereof exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Holder shall refund to Maker the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal of this Note, and, in such event, the Holder shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, or receiving interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. 4. Payments. (a) Interest. Maker promises to pay to the Holder hereof Basic Interest, Deferred Interest and Additional Interest as, in the respective amounts, and at the respective times provided in Section 2 hereinabove. No principal payments shall be due hereunder except at the Stated Maturity Date or as otherwise provided herein in the event of default. Each payment of Basic Interest (including without limitation, Deferred Interest), and Additional Interest on, or any other amounts of any kind with respect to, this Note shall be made by the Maker to the Holder hereof at its office in Phoenix, Arizona (or at any other place which the Holder may hereafter designate for such purpose in a notice duly given to the Maker hereunder), not later than noon, Pacific Standard Time, on the date due thereof; and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Holder on the next following business day. Whenever any payment to be made under this Note shall be stated to be due on a date which is not a business day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding business day, and interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension. 7 (b) Late Payment Charges. If any amount of Interest, principal or any other charge or amount which becomes due and payable under this Note is not paid and received by the Holder within five business days after the date it first becomes due and payable, Maker shall pay to the Holder hereof a late payment charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the full amount of such late payment, whether such late payment is received prior to or after the expiration of the ten-day cure period set forth in Section 8(a). Maker recognizes that in the event any payment secured hereby (other than the principal payment due upon maturity of the Note, whether by acceleration or otherwise) is not made when due, Holder will incur extra expenses in handling the delinquent payment, the exact amount of which is impossible to ascertain, but that a charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of the delinquent payment would be a reasonable estimate of the expenses so incurred. Therefore, if any such payment is not received when due and payable, Maker pay to Holder to cover expenses incurred in handling the delinquent payment, an amount calculated at five percent (5%) of the amount of the delinquent payment. (c) No Prepayment. Maker shall have the right to prepay this Note at any time, but only subject to the requirements and conditions set forth below. If under any circumstances whatsoever (other than pursuant to Section 3 above) this Note is paid in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, following acceleration after the occurrence of an Event of Default, with the consent of Holder, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not such payment prior to the Stated Maturity Date results from the Holder's exercise of its rights to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, then Maker shall pay to the Holder the Yield Maintenance Premium (defined hereinbelow) in addition to paying the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all Interest which has accrued but is unpaid except with the written consent of the Holder. A Yield Maintenance Premium in an amount equal to the greater of (A) one percent (1.0%) of the principal amount being prepaid, and (B) the positive excess of (1) the present value ("PV") of all future installments of principal and interest due pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Note absent any such prepayment including the principal amount due at the Stated Maturity Date (collectively, "All Future Payments"), discounted at an interest rate per annum equal to the sum of (a) the Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Index published during the second full week preceding the date on which such Yield Maintenance Premium is payable for instruments having a maturity coterminous with the remaining term of this Note, and (b) One Hundred Forty (140) basis points, over (2) the then outstanding principal balance hereof immediately before such prepayment [(PV of All Future Payments) (Principal balance at the time of prepayment) = Yield Maintenance Premium]. "Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Index" shall mean the average yield for "This Week" as reported by the Federal Reserve Board in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519). If there is no Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Index for instruments having a maturity coterminous with the remaining term of this Note, then the index shall be equal to the weighted average yield to maturity of the Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Indices with maturities next longer and shorter than such remaining average life to the maturity, calculated by averaging 8 (and rounding upward to the nearest 1/100 of 1% per annum, if the average is not such a multiple) the yields of the relevant Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Indices (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1% with any figure of 1/200 of 1% or above rounded upward). In the event that any Yield Maintenance Premium is due hereunder, Holder shall deliver to Maker a statement setting forth the amount and determination of the Yield Maintenance Premium and, provided that Holder shall have in good faith applied the formula described above, Maker shall not have the right to challenge the calculation or the method of calculation set forth in any such statement in the absence of manifest error, which calculation may be made by Holder on any day during the thirty (30) day period preceding the date of such prepayment. Holder shall not be obligated or required to have actually reinvested the prepaid principal balance at the Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Index or otherwise as a condition to receiving the Yield Maintenance Premium. No Yield Maintenance Premium or premium shall be due or payable in connection with any prepayment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note made on or after any date after January 1, 2008. In addition to the aforesaid Yield Maintenance Premium if, upon any such prepayment (whether prior to or after any date that is after January 1, 2008, the aforesaid prior written notice has not been received by Holder, the Yield Maintenance Premium shall be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) thirty (30) days' unearned interest computed in the outstanding principal balance of this Note, so prepaid and (ii) unearned interest computed on the outstanding principal balance of this Note so prepaid for the period from, and including, the date of prepayment through the otherwise Stated Maturity Date of this Note. Without limiting the scope of the foregoing provisions, the provisions of this paragraph shall constitute, within the meaning of any applicable state statute, both a waiver of any right Maker may have to prepay the Note, in whole or in part, without premium or charge, upon acceleration of the maturity of the Note, or otherwise, and an agreement by Maker to pay the prepayment charge described in this Note, whether such prepayment is voluntary or upon or following any acceleration of this Note, or otherwise, and for such purpose Maker has separately initialed this provision in the space provided below, and Maker hereby declares that Holder's agreement to make the Loan to Maker at the interest rate and for the term set forth in the Note constitutes adequate consideration, of individual weight, for this waiver and agreement by Maker. 5.
