Interest only shall be due and payable in monthly installments based on principal advanced, or more, plus tax escrow in the amount of $7,843.59, commencing on May 1, 2023 and continuing regularly thereafter on the same date of each month until April 1, 2024, when the entire amount hereof, principal and interest then remaining unpaid, shall be due and payable.

Borrower may prepay this note in any amount at any time before the Maturity Date without penalty or premium.

Interest Rate Adjustment:

 

The interest rate on this Note shall be adjusted monthly (“the Interest Adjustment Date”) provided the maturity of this Note has not been accelerated. The Interest Rate Adjustment shall be on the 1st day of each month until this Note is fully paid.

 

Index:

 

The Prime Interest Rate means the annual rate of interest identified as the “U.S. prime rate” in the “Money Rates” column published in the Wall Street Journal. If the published prime rate is expressed on the applicable date as a range, the prime rate for purposes of this note will be the average between the high and low of that range. If the Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a prime rate, Lender may refer to another similar source to identify the prime rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks and apply that rate.

 

Adjustment of Monthly Installments:

 

The Lender shall adjust the amount of the monthly installment payments on the next payment date following the Interest Rate Adjustment Date on which a change in the interest is made.

 

Notice of Rate Adjustment and Adjustment in Monthly Installments:

 

The Lender is not required to send a separate written notice of an interest rate change other than changing the interest rate on the monthly payment statements sent to the Borrower.
