  (b) Additional Charge. If this Note is prepaid on any day other than a Due Date, whether such prepayment is voluntary, involuntary or upon full acceleration of the principal amount of this Note by Lender following a Default, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the prepayment date (in addition to the basic prepayment charge described in Section 11.2.a above and all other sums then due and owing to Lender under this Note and the other Loan Documents) an additional prepayment charge equal to the interest which would otherwise have accrued on the amount prepaid (had such prepayment not occurred) during the period from and including the prepayment date to and including the last day of the month in which the prepayment occurred.

 

  (c) Exclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment charge of any kind shall apply in respect to any prepayment resulting from Lender’s application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

 

  11.3. Effect of Prepayment. No partial prepayment of this Note shall change any Due Date or the I/O Payment Amount, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing.
