(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.

Disputes . All disputes regarding loan payment amounts,
payment dates, outstanding balances, interest paid and principal

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

hereto, third to accrued interest and the remainder to reduce the
principal amount. The Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at

late charges and other fees and penalties due and/or expenses
incurred by CFG, as described in the preceding paragraph, the
