  $ 154,600.00  
Such installments have been calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Each payment may, at the option of the Debtor, be calculated and applied on an assumption that such payment would be made on its due date Debtor agrees to pay any initial partial month interest payment from the date of this Note to the first day of the following month (“Interim Interest”), (the “Commencement Date”).
Prepayment Option: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Agreement, so long as no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, Debtor may prepay this Note in full, but not in part, after eighteen (18) months on the following terms and conditions:
  (a)   Debtor shall give Secured Party five (5) business days’ prior written notice of its intent to prepay the Note and such prepayment shall be made upon a regularly scheduled payment date; and

      so required by the terms of the Agreement or Note (in the aggregate, the “Prepayment Amount”).
 
  (c)   In addition to the above Prepayment Amount, if Debtor prepays this Note, Debtor shall pay the following prepayment fee (“Prepayment Fee”): (i) on the first day of and during the nineteenth (19th) month through and including the last day of the twenty-fourth (24th) month: two percent (2%) of the remaining Principal Amount of this Note, and (iii) on the first day of the twenty-fifth (25th) month through and including the thirty-sixth (36th) month of this Note, a Prepayment Fee declining from 2% on a pro-rata basis to zero percent (0%)of the remaining unpaid Principal Amount of this Note.
 
  (d)   In the event Debtor is acquired during the first eighteen months of the term of this Note, and the acquisition price per share which Secured Party receives after net exercise of its Warrant is greater than or equal to three times (3X) the Exercise Price of Secured Party’s Warrant, there will be no Prepayment Fee on Debtor’s prepayment of this Note in the first eighteen months. If the acquisition price per share is less than three times (3X) the Exercise Price of Secured Party’s Warrant after net exercise of the Warrant, there will be no Prepayment Fee on Debtor’s prepayment of this Note, however Debtor shall pay to Secured Party in cash an amount equal to the difference between the amount Secured Party actually receives for its Warrant and three times (3X) the Exercise Price of the Warrant. Notwithstanding the understanding set forth in this subsection (d), in the event that the Warrant and this Loan are assumed by an acquiring party satisfactory to Secured Party in its good faith discretion, this subsection (d) shall not apply.
The acceptance by Secured Party of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Secured Party’s right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time.
