PREPAYMENTS.

Mezzanine
Borrower shall provide prior written notice (the Prepayment
Notice)
to Mezzanine Lender specifying the proposed Business Day on which the

Mezzanine Borrower shall reimburse Mezzanine Lender for the actual

Payments
in Connection with a Prepayment. |
| i. |
On
the date on which a prepayment, voluntary or mandatory, is made under this
Mezzanine Note or as required under the Loan Agreement, Mezzanine Borrower
shall pay to Mezzanine Lender all unpaid interest on the Principal Amount
prepaid, such unpaid interest calculated, (1) in the event prepayment is
made from the fifteenth (15th) day of any calendar month through the ninth

through the end of the Interest Period next succeeding the Interest Period
in which such prepayment occurs. In either case, accrued interest shall be
calculated as if such Interest Period extends beyond the date of such
prepayment and be calculated as if the Loan has not been prepaid on such

interest calculated through the date of such
prepayment. |
