Default Interest due under this Note shall be calculated by dividing the Default Interest Rate applicable by three hundred sixty (360) and the result will be applied to the amounts due and unpaid, the result will be the default interest of each day that the Borrower agrees to pay on demand according to this Promissory Note.
