The amount of interest payable will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  If any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any additional interest or other payment in respect of any delay), with the same force and effect as if made on such date.
