Borrower also promises to pay interest to Lender monthly, in arrears, on the first (1st) day of each month commencing on the first (1st) Banking Day of the calendar month beginning immediately after the date of this Note on the average daily unpaid principal balance of this Note until all amounts due and payable to the Lender in connection herewith are irrevocably paid in full. For purposes of this Note, interest on the principal amount of this Note shall be at the rate set forth in Section 3.1 of the Loan Agreement, unless otherwise provided for by the terms of the Loan Agreement.
