ARTICLE II INTEREST The interest rate on this Note is seven and thirty five hundredths percent (7.35%) per annum (the "Applicable Interest Rate"). Interest on the principal sum of this None shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, divided by 360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance. ARTICLE III DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION If any payment required in this Note is not paid (a) prior to the fifth (5th) day after a Payment Date, (b) on the Maturity Date or (c) on the happening of any other default, after the expiration of any applicable notice and grace periods, herein or under the terms of the Security Instruments (defined below) or any of the Other Security Documents (as defined in the Security Instruments) (collectively, an "Event of Default"), at the option of Lender (i) the whole of the principal sum of this Note, (ii) Interest, default interest, late charges and other sums, as provided in this Note, the Security Instruments or the Other Security Documents, (iii) all other monies agreed or provided to be paid by Borrower in this Note, the Security Instruments or the Other Security Documents, (iv) all sums advanced pursuant to the Security Instruments to protect and preserve the Individual Properties (defined below) and the lien and the security interest created thereby, and (v) all sums advanced and costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Debt (defined below) or any part thereof, any renewal, extension, or change of or substitution for the Debt or any part thereof, or the acquisition or perfection of the security therefor, whether made or incurred at the request of Borrower of Lender (all the sums referred to in (i) through (v) above shall collectively be referred to as the "Debt") shall without notice become immediately due and payable.

ARTICLE V LATE CHARGE If any monthly installment payable under this Note is not paid prior to the fifth (5th) day after the applicable Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to defray the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and processing the delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of the delinquent payment and the amount shall be secured by the Security Instruments and the Other Security Documents.

No notice to or demand on Borrower shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of Borrower or of the right of Lender to take further action without further notice or demand as provided for in this Note, the Security Instruments or the Other Security Documents. If Borrower is a partnership, corporation or limited liability company, the agreements contained herein shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding -11- any changes in the individuals or entities comprising the Borrower, and the term "Borrower," as used herein, shall include any alternate or successor entity, but any predecessor entity, and its partners or members, as the case may be, shall not thereby be released from any liability.
