1.     ADVANCES.

 

1.1        No Obligation .   Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to make any advances hereunder and that Advances, if any, may or may not be made hereunder in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion.

This Note shall not be deemed to be a commitment or agreement by Bank to make any advances at any time, and is being executed and delivered by Borrower solely to set forth certain terms and conditions in the event Bank determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make any Advances hereunder.

 

1.2        Record of Advances. Bank may enter in its business records the amount and payment terms of each advance made hereunder. Bank’s records of each such Advance shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusively binding upon Borrower. In the event Bank provides confirmation of the terms of any Advance to Borrower, borrower agrees that unless Bank receives a written notification of exception to such statement or notice within ten (10) calendar days after such confirmation is mailed to Borrower, the confirmation shall be deemed an account stated, correct, acceptable and conclusively binding upon Borrower.

 

1.3        Advance Procedures . Each request for an Advance shall be in writing and shall be accompanied by a Notice of Borrowing Under Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each Advance hereunder shall be made by crediting the Borrower’s account number: (on file) (“the Account ”) at Bank. All Advances made by crediting the Account shall be conclusively presumed to have been properly authorized by Borrower. Requests for Advances to be made by any means other than crediting the Account shall be made in writing by Borrower to Bank.

 

2.     INTEREST RATE . Interest shall be charged on the outstanding principal balance from the date hereof until the full amount of principal due hereunder has been paid at a rate equal to 1-month LIBOR plus TWO AND ONE QUARTER percent (2.25%) per annum ( “LIBOR-Based Rate” ), as determined by Bank prior to the commencement of each Interest Period. Interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360 day year.

3.     PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST . Interest in the initial Advance from the date hereof through May 31, 2005, shall be due and payable upon execution hereof. Thereafter, all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance shall be due and payable on the first day of each month beginning on July 1, 2005 (each, a “Payment Date” ).
