PAYMENT TERMS:
|
This Note will mature in 2 years from the date of initial disbursement.
The interest rate is 1.00% per year.
Borrower must pay principal and interest payments every month, beginning seven months from the date of initial disbursement in an amount sufficient to fully≠amortize the outstanding balance; payments must be made on the 4th calendar day in the months they are due.
Lender will apply each installment payment first to pay interest accrued to the day Lender receives the payment, then to bring principal current, then to pay any late fees, and will apply any remaining balance to reduce principal. Lender may adjust the payment amount periodically as needed to amortize the principal over the remaining term of the Note.
Loan Prepayment:
Notwithstanding any provision in this Note to the contrary:
Borrower may prepay this Note. Borrower may prepay 20 percent or less of the unpaid principal balance at any time without notice. If Borrower prepays more than 20 percent and the Loan has been sold on the secondary market, Borrower must:
a. Give Lender written notice;
b. Pay all accrued interest; and
c. If the prepayment is received less than 21 days from the date Lender receives the notice, pay an amount equal to 21 days' interest from the date lender receives the notice, less any interest accrued during the 21 days and paid under subparagraph b., above.
If Borrower does not prepay within 30 days from the date Lender receives the notice, Borrower must give Lender a new notice.
All remaining principal and accrued interest is due and payable 2 years from date of initial disbursement.
Late Charge. If payment on this Note is more than 10 days late, Lender may charge Borrower a late fee of up to 5.00% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment.
