Such installments have been calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

  (c)   In addition to the above Prepayment Amount, if Debtor prepays this Note, Debtor shall pay the following prepayment fee (“Prepayment Fee”): (i) on the first day of and during the nineteenth (19th) month through and including the last day of the twenty-fourth (24th) month: two percent (2%) of the remaining Principal Amount of this Note, and (iii) on the first day of the twenty-fifth (25th) month through and including the thirty-sixth (36th) month of this Note, a Prepayment Fee declining from 2% on a pro-rata basis to zero percent (0%)of the remaining unpaid Principal Amount of this Note.
 
  (d)   In the event Debtor is acquired during the first eighteen months of the term of this Note, and the acquisition price per share which Secured Party receives after net exercise of its Warrant is greater than or equal to three times (3X) the Exercise Price of Secured Party’s Warrant, there will be no Prepayment Fee on Debtor’s prepayment of this Note in the first eighteen months. If the acquisition price per share is less than three times (3X) the Exercise Price of Secured Party’s Warrant after net exercise of the Warrant, there will be no Prepayment Fee on Debtor’s prepayment of this Note, however Debtor shall pay to Secured Party in cash an amount equal to the difference between the amount Secured Party actually receives for its Warrant and three times (3X) the Exercise Price of the Warrant. Notwithstanding the understanding set forth in this subsection (d), in the event that the Warrant and this Loan are assumed by an acquiring party satisfactory to Secured Party in its good faith discretion, this subsection (d) shall not apply.
The acceptance by Secured Party of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Secured Party’s right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time.
