NW, Norman, Oklahoma 73072 or such other place as Holder may
designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of
America, the principal sum of Two Million Eight Hundred Fifty-Eight
Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($2,858,800), together with interest
on unpaid principal balance at the rates hereinafter set forth,
such principal sum and interest to be paid as provided in Article I

the actual number of days elapsed, commencing on March 1,
2007.
