Chicopee.
Massachusetts
For
value
received, the undersigned Xxxxx X
Xxxxxxx, an
individual , with an address of 00
Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000 (the
"Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of CHICOPEE SAVINGS BANK, a
Massachusetts Savings Bank with an address of 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000 (together with its successors and assigns,
the "Bank"), the principal
amount of Two
Hundred Seventy-Two Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents
($272,000.00) on or
before
June
4, 2013 (the
"Maturity Date"), as set forth below, together with interest from the date
hereof
on
the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding until paid in full.
The Borrower shall pay
consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest, as follows:
$3,158.15
on
July
4, 2003, and
the
same amount (except the last installment which shatl be the unpaid balance)
on
the 4m
of each
month
thereafter. The aggregate principal balance outstanding shall initially bear
interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to 7.00%.
The
interest rate on the aggregate principal balance shall change on June
4, 2010
(the
"Change Date") to Three
Percent (3.00%) above
the
Treasury Index. On the Change Date each
monthly installment due and payable shall be recalculated (increased or reduced)
to reflect the adjusted
interest rate, the outstanding principal balance at such time and the remaining
term of the 10
year
amortization period commencing on the date of this Note in accordance with
the
Bank's calculation in
the
Bank's sole discretion.
Treasury
Index means the monthly average yield on United States Treasury securities,
adjusted to
a
constant maturity equal to the Applicable Treasury Rate Period (as hereinafter
defined), or, in the event
the
Treasury index is no longer available, the base, reference or other rate then
designated by the Bank,
in
its sole discretion, for general commercial loan reference purposes, it being
understood that such rate
is a
reference rate, not necessarily the lowest, established from time to time,
which
serves as the basis
upon which effective interest rates are calculated for Joans making reference
thereto. The Applicable
Treasury Rate Period is seven years.
This
Note is
secured by all collateral granted to the Bank by the Borrower or any endorser
or
guarantor
hereof or by any other party and shall be secured by any additional collateral
hereafter granted to the Bank by the Borrower or any endorser or guarantor
hereof or by any other party.
Principal
and
interest shall be payable at the Bank's main office or at such other place
as
the Bank
may
designate in writing in immediately available funds in lawful money of the
United States of America
without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. Interest on this Note is computed
on
a 30/360 simple interest
basis; that is, with the exception of odd days in the first payment penod,
monthly interest is calculated
by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days,
multiplied by the outstanding
principal balance, multiplied by a month of 30 days. Interest for the odd days
is calculated on the basis of the actual days to the next full month and a
360-day year.
At
the option
of the Bank, this Note shall become immediately due and payable without notice
or demand
upon the occurrence at any time of any of the following events of default (each,
