Loan Agreement: [complete if applicable] This note evidences a debt under the
terms of a between the Bank and the Borrower dated
and any amendments.
Prepayment: If a fixed interest rate is specified above, the Borrower may
prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this note on one business
day's notice provided that, in addition to all principal, interest and costs
owing at the time of prepayment, the Borrower pays a prepayment premium equal
to the Current value of (i) the interest that would have accrued on the
amount prepaid at the Note Rate, minus (ii) the interest that could accrue on
the amount prepaid at the Treasury Rate. In both cases, interest will be
calculated from the prepayment date to the maturity dates of the installments
being prepaid. Such maturity dates shall be determined by applying the
prepayments to the scheduled installments of principal in their inverse order
of maturity. "Treasury Rate" means the yield, as of the date of prepayment,
on United States Treasury bills, notes or bonds, selected by the Bank in its
discretion, having maturities comparable to the scheduled maturities of the
installments being prepaid. "Current Value" means the net present value of
the dollar amount of the interest to be earned, discounted at the Treasury
Rate. In no event shall the prepayment premium be less than zero. The
Borrower's notice of its intent to prepay shall be irrevocable. If the
balance of this note is accelerated in accordance with the terms of this
note, the resulting balance due shall be considered a prepayment due and
payable as of the date of acceleration. The Borrower agrees that the
prepayment premium is a reasonable estimate of loss and not a penalty. The
prepayment premium is payable as liquidated damages for the loss of bargain
and its payment shall not in any way reduce, affect or impair any other
obligation of the Borrower under this note.
