ARTICLE I
INTEREST AND PAYMENTS
 
1.1 Interest Rate.  Interest payable on the outstanding principal amount of this Note (the “Principal Amount”) shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 6.25%.  Interest shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable, in arrears, on each of May 1, 2011, August 1, 2011, November 1, 2011, February 1, 2012, and May 1, 2012 (each, a “Payment Date”), and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.   Interest payments are included in payments of the Quarterly Amount set forth below.

(c)  Insolvency.  The Maker shall admit in writing its inability, or be generally unable, to pay its debts as they become due or cease operations of its present business.
 
3.2 Default Payments.
