Interest. Subject to Section 4 hereof, the interest (the “Interest”) shall accrue from the date of the Note on the unpaid Principal Amount at a rate of four point five percent (4.5%) on an annual non-compound basis, computed on the basis of actual calendar days elapsed and a year of 365 days, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note.
