8.   Application of Payments.  Payments received by Lender with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be applied in such order and manner as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may elect.  Unless otherwise elected by Lender, all such payments shall first be applied to accrued and unpaid interest at the Stated Interest Rate and, to the extent applicable, the Default Interest Rate, next to the principal balance then outstanding hereunder, and the remainder to any additional sums or other costs or added charges provided for herein.  Payments hereunder shall be made at the address for Lender first set forth above or at such other address as Lender may specify to Borrower in writing.

 

9.   Prepayments.  Payments of principal hereof may be made at any time, or from time to time, in whole or in part, without penalty, provided that all interest and other charges accrued to the date of prepayment are also paid in full.  Notwithstanding any prepayment of principal hereof: (a) there will be no change in the due date or scheduled interest payments due hereunder unless Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, agrees in writing to such change; and (b) Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall continue in effect, and this Note shall remain outstanding, unless and until (i) the principal balance outstanding hereunder, together with all accrued interest and other amounts payable hereunder, are paid in full, and (ii) thereafter, upon Borrower’s request, Lender delivers to Borrower the original executed copy of this Note, marked "Cancelled."
