3.                                                                                       Payments.  All payments to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be payable by 2:00 p.m. eastern time, on the day when due.  Such payments shall be made to Lender at its address above, in funds immediately available at such office without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature.
