may designate in writing.
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 base
rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the 30 largest US
Banks known as The Wail Street Journal US Prime Rate (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 year. Borrower
understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as
well. The interest rate or rates to be applied to the unpaid
principal balance during this Note will be the rate or rates set
forth herein in the “Payment” section. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Note, after the first payment stream,
the interest rate for each subsequent payment stream will be
effective as of the last payment date of the just-ending payment
stream. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on
this Note be less than 6.500% per annum or more than (except for
any higher default rate shown below) the lesser of 21.000% per
annum or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Whenever
increases occur [n the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do
one or more of the following: (A) increase Borrower’s
payments to ensure Borrower’s loan will payoff by its
original final maturity date, (B) increase Borrower’s
payments to cover accruing interest, (C) increase the number of
Borrower’s payments, and (D) continue Borrower’s
payments at the same amount and increase Borrower’s final
payment.
INTEREST CALCULATION
METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 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.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower
agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are
earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to
refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of
default), except as otherwise required by law. Except for the
foregoing, Borrower may pay without penalty 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 under the
payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal
balance due and may result in Borrower’s making fewer
payments. 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 Lender’s 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: Crossroads Bank, Wabash.
1205 N Cass Street. Wabash. IN 46992.
LATE CHARGE. If a
payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of
the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $17.50.
whichever is greater.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.
Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity. the
interest rate on this Note shall be increased to 21.000% per annum
based on a year of 360 days. However, in no event will the interest
rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable
law.
