PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan In full Immediately upon Lender’s demand. Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning March 22, 2017, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied to the loan in the following order: (1) interest; (2) principal; and (3) charges, fees and penalties. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.

 

ADVANCES. Borrower understands and agrees that all advances under this Note are at Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and Lender, without notice to the Borrower, may decline to make any advance requested by Borrower, regardless of the manner in which the request is made.

 

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the greater of the Prime Rate or the Minimum Interest Rate, each as hereafter defined (the “Index”). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower’s request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day the Index changes. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be calculated as described in the “INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD” paragraph using a rate equal to the Index. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

 

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365360 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.

 

PRIME RATE. “Prime Rate” shall mean the prime rate of interest announced by Lender from time to time at its principal office as its prime commercial lending rate.

 

MINIMUM INTEREST RATE. “Minimum Interest Rate” shall mean two hundred (200) basis points in excess of the rate of Interest determined by Lender in accordance with its customary procedures and utilizing such electronic or other quotation sources as it considers appropriate to be the prevailing rate per annum in effect each banking day at which deposits in United States dollars for a one month period, determined by Lender in its sole discretion, are offered to Lender by first class banks in the London Interbank Market shortly after 11:00 a.m. (London time) two banking days prior to the date such rate of interest shall be effective and applied to existing and future advances with respect to this Note.

 

PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without fee all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lenders rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Citibank, N.A.; 6801 Colwell Boulevard; Irving, TX 75039.
