The Borrower shall pay consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest, as follows; $2,604,63 commencing on August 3, 2012, and the same amount (except the last installment which shall be the unpaid balance) on the 3rd of each month thereafter, until changed in accordance with this Note. The aggregate principal balance outstanding shall bear interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to Two Percent (2.00%) above the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (as hereinafter defined). Upon any change in the interest rate in accordance with this Note, each monthly installment due and payable thereafter (except the last installment which shall be the unpaid balance) shall be recalculated (increased or reduced) to reflect the adjusted interest rate, the outstanding principal balance at such time and the remaining term of the 10 year amortization period commencing on the date of this Note in accordance with the Bank’s calculation in the Bank’s sole discretion.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the interest rate on this Note is limited by a floor as follows: the minimum interest rate (i.e. floor) is 5.50% per annum.

The effective interest rate applicable to the Borrower’s loans evidenced hereby shall change on the date of each change in the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate.

 

Principal and interest shall be payable at the Bank’s main office or at such other place as the Bank may designate in writing in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America without set-off, deduction or counterclaim.

This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereof and upon their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of the Bank and its successors, endorsees and assigns.
