2. PROMISE TO PAY. For value received, Borrower promises to pay, in accordance with Paragraph 3(c) below, to the order of Lender, at its office at 5335 Kietzke Lane, Suite 200, Reno, Nevada 89511, or at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, the Loan Amount, or so much thereof as shall from time to time be disbursed under the Loan Agreement, together with accrued interest from the date of disbursement on the unpaid principal balance at the Interest Rate.
 
3. INTEREST; PAYMENTS.
 
(a) Absent an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, each advance made hereunder shall bear interest at the Interest Rate in effect from time to time. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding.  All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.  This calculation method results in a higher effective interest rate than the numeric interest rate stated in this Note.  By executing below, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees to the calculation of the Interest Rate in accordance with a year of 360 days and acknowledges that calculation of interest in accordance with this Paragraph will increase the Loan’s effective interest rate above the stated Interest Rate and Default Interest Rate, as applicable.
 
(b) All payments of principal and interest due hereunder shall be made (i) without deduction of any present and future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, which amounts shall be paid by Borrower, and (ii) without any other set off. Borrower will pay the amounts necessary such that the gross amount of the principal and interest received by the holder hereof is not less than that required by this Note.
 
(c) Commencing on September 5, 2016, and continuing on the same day of each calendar month thereafter, Borrower shall make consecutive monthly payments of all accrued, unpaid interest, with one (1) final “balloon” payment of all unpaid principal, accrued unpaid interest, and any other amounts due hereunder due and payable on the Maturity Date. If any payment of principal and interest to be made by Borrower hereunder shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing the interest in such payment.

(d) Commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the CUO Date occurs, and continuing on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter during the term of the Loan (each such date, a “Curtailment Date”), Borrower shall pay to Lender, from Borrower's own funds and not from proceeds of the Loan, good funds in an amount equal to $6,000,000.00, which funds shall be applied by Lender to reduce the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Loan and the Note.  All Unit Release Prices paid by Borrower to Lender pursuant to Section 9 of the Loan Agreement prior to the date of the required principal reductions set forth in this Paragraph 3(d) shall be applied as a credit, on a cumulative basis, against each such required principal reduction.
 
4. PREPAYMENT.
 
(a) Borrower may prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium If Borrower prepays the Loan in full, together with such prepayment Borrower shall pay all accrued unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid.

Any payments received by the holder hereof after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, shall be applied to the amounts specified in this Paragraph 6(a) in such order as the holder hereof may, in its sole discretion, elect.
 
(b) If any payment of interest and/or principal is not received by the holder hereof when such payment is due, then in addition to the remedies conferred upon the holder hereof pursuant to Paragraph 10 hereof and the other Loan Documents, (i) a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of the installment due and unpaid or $10.00, whichever is greater, will be added to the delinquent amount to compensate the holder hereof for the expense of handling the delinquency for any payment past due in excess of ten (10) days, regardless of any notice and cure periods, and (ii) the amount due and unpaid (including, without limitation, the late charge) shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate, computed from the date on which the amount was due and payable until paid.
 
7. SECURITY AND GUARANTY.  This Note is secured by, inter alia, the Deed of Trust, which Deed of Trust creates a lien on that certain real and personal property described therein, the Assignment of Condominium Documents, and the Security Agreement.  This Note is guaranteed by the Repayment Guaranty.

In such event, if any holder of this Note shall collect monies which are deemed to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted to be charged by the laws of the State of Arizona, all such sums deemed to constitute interest in excess of such maximum rate shall, at the option of the holder, be credited to the payment of other amounts payable under the Loan Documents or returned to Borrower.
