(c) Mandatory Prepayment of Principal.

From and after the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Note, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan with all unpaid interest

accrued thereon, and any and all other fees and charges then due at such maturity, shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
