order of AmeriCU Credit Union, a Federally Insured State-Chartered Credit Union, having an office
at 1916 Black River Boulevard, Rome, New York
13440 ("Lender"), or at any of its offices, in lawful
money of the United States, the principal sum of Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00), or so
much thereof as may be advanced, together with interest on the unpaid principal balance computed from
the date of this Note at the interest rate of Ten and 75/100 percent (10.750%) per annum ("Interest
Rate").
2. PAYMENT, INTEREST RATE. Payments of principal and interest calculated at the
Interest Rate shall be made by Borrower in the manner following:
a. Payments of principal and interest, calculated at the Interest Rate on the unpaid
principal balance and an amortization period of 5 Years (60) months, shall be made by installments of
One Thousand Eighty-One and 60/100 Dollars
($1,081.00) commencing on the 24th day of February,
2020 and on the same day of each month thereafter, to be applied first to any late charges, then to interest
on the unpaid principal amount outstanding, and the balance in reduction of the principal until January 24,
2020 ("Maturity Date"), when the balance of principal then remaining unpaid and accrued interest shall
become due and payable.
b. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/365 simple interest basis; that is, by
applying the ratio of the interest rate over the number of days in a year (365 for all years, including leap
years), multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the
principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.
c. All installment payments (excluding voluntary prepayments of principal) will be
applied as of the scheduled due date for each payment, provided that full payment is received. If less than
full payment is received, the payment will be held as an unapplied amount and considered past due, until
full payment is received.
d. If the date for any payment hereunder falls on a day which is not a Business Day,
then for all purposes hereof the same shall be deemed to have fallen on the next succeeding Business Day,
and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest hereunder. The
Day"
term "Business shall mean
a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for commercial
lenders under the laws of the State of New York.
e. If at any time the interest or other charges collected or to be collected pursuant to
this Note exceed the maximum permitted by law: (i) such interest or other charges shall be reduced to the
maximum permitted limit and (ii) any sums already collected in excess of the maximum permitted limit
shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of unpaid principal.
3. PREPAYMENT. The payment of the whole or any part of the unpaid principal in
excess of the payments above-required may be made at any time without penalty or premium. All
prepayments of principal shall be applied to the reduction or satisfaction of principal installments required
to be paid in the inverse order of their maturity. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked
