Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as tender may designate in writing. VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Agreement is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the Prime Rate as Published in the Wall Street Journal (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each Year. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 8.000% per annum. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of the Note will be at a rate equal to the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 8.000% per annum. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on the Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Whenever increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following: (A) increase Borrowers payments to ensure Borrower's loan will pay off by its original final maturity date, (B) increase Borrower's payments to cover accruing interest, (C) increase the number of Borrower's payments, and (D) continue Borrower's payments at the same amount and increase Borrower's final payment.

Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower's making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full', "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Agreement, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender.
