interest which at all times shall be two percent (2%) more than, and fluctuating
automatically at that level with, the Prime Rate of Columbus Bank and Trust
Company (said Prime Rate being the index, base or reference rate from time to
time established and used by said bank to fix interest rates at which loans are
made to its various customers, which loans may be made by said bank at, above or
below said Prime Rate). As of the date hereof, said Prime Rate is 8.25% per
annum and said Floating Rate is 10.25% per annum. Interest shall be computed
daily, using the Prime Rate in effect and the principal balance outstanding at
the close of business on each such day, on the basis of a 360-day year.
Interest only shall be due and payable on November 1, 1999, and on the
first day of each consecutive month thereafter through and including October
1,2000. Thereafter, principal and accrued interest thereon shall be due and
payable in 47 equal consecutive monthly installments, each in the amount of
Twelve Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-Five Dollars ($12,235), the first of said
installments to be due and payable on November 1, 2000, and a like installment
to be due and payable on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter
through and including September 1,2004. The entire principal balance hereof and
all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if not sooner paid, shall be due and
payable on October 1, 2004, the Maturity Date.
