Borrower must make all payments at the place Lender designates. The payment terms for this Note are:
a),Maturity:
This Note will mature five (5) years from date of Note.

This loan is a revolving line of credit. Borrower may make advances on the line of credit up to the maximum

rate in effect at the time of the earliest uncured payment default. If there is no uncured payment default, the rate
becomes fixed at the rate in effect at the time of purchase.
