     Section 2.3. Interest .

               (a) The principal amount outstanding on the Loan together with amortized interest shall accrue interest at the initial rate of 10.25% per annum from the Closing Date. On subsequent dates throughout the term of the Loan the annual amortized interest rate may be modified so as to maintain the current annual interest rate as the greater of (x) five (5) percentage points above the prime rate as defined in the Wall Street Journal as of the first publication day of the month, and (y) 10%.

               (b) In no event shall the interest charged with respect to the notes (if any) or any other obligations of Borrower under any Loan Document exceed the maximum amount permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware or of any other applicable jurisdiction.

               (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest payable hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document (the “ Stated Rate ”) would exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable Law to be charged (the “ Maximum Lawful Rate ”), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by Law, continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received is equal to the total interest which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable. Thereafter, the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply.

               (d) In no event shall the total interest received by the Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, the Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loan or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrower. In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to the Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.

               (e) In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to the Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.

     Section 2.4. Scheduled Repayments .

               (f) Loan Amortization. Principal and interest per the initial amortized interest rate shall become due and payable in 36 monthly payments beginning on the first Payment Date of the month following the date hereof each in the amount of $52,001.52, which includes the monthly CFG Service Fee. The amount of the monthly payments and the final payment may be adjusted as a consequence of the terms of this Loan Agreement allowing for fluctuation in the Prime

     Section 2.5. Adjustments . In the event that the interest rate is modified due to a change in the prime interest rate, the amortization set forth in Section 2.4(a) will be modified to maintain the same payment amount but with adjusted term and final payment per the new interest rate.

     Section 2.6. Disputes . All disputes regarding loan payment amounts, payment dates, outstanding balances, interest paid and principal paid shall be resolved based upon the information contained in the amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.4(a) or as it may be modified by the consequences of the actual payments made and their respective payment dates, adjustments pursuant to Section 2.5, and/or by subsequent agreement between CFG and the Borrower.

     Section 2.7. Prepayments . Payment and prepayments on the Loan shall be applied first to late charges and other fees and penalties due hereunder, second to reimburse CFG for any costs and/or expenses incurred by CFG hereunder or under any of the documents attached hereto, third to accrued interest and the remainder to reduce the principal amount. The Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty and without consent of CFG.

amounts owed (principal, interest, late fees, and any other charges payable under this Loan Agreement) to $0.00.
