2.2.1
Interest Generally. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from (and include) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.
2.2.2
Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the Accrual Period, by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year, by (c) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.
2.2.3
Monthly Debt Service Payments. Borrower shall pay to Lender on January 1, 2010 and each Payment Date thereafter up to but not including the Maturity Date, an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied to accrued and unpaid interest.

Each interest accrual period thereafter shall commence on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term of the Loan and shall end on and include the final calendar date of such calendar month (the Accrual Period). For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Accrual Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding
-29-
Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever. All payments due on account of the Loan and for any obligations due under the Loan Documents shall be made on a pro rata, pari passu basis with respect to Junior Mezzanine Note A-1 and Junior Mezzanine Note A-2
2.2.5
Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.6
Payments after Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) in the event of a non-monetary default, the cure of such Event of Default by Borrower, and (ii) in the event of a monetary default, the actual receipt and collection of the D ebt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default and Lender retains its rights under the Note and this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default.
2.2.7
Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due (except, in the case of Debt Service, provided no Event of Default shall then exist and there are sufficient funds in the Junior Mezzanine Loan Cash Management Account to pay such Debt Service), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law. The foregoing late payment charge shall not apply to the payment of all outstanding principal, interest and other sums due on the Maturity Date.
2.2.8
Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal
-30-
Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.2.9
Making of Payments. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lenders office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
