Plaintiffs

v. JUDGMENT

DEBRA A. TISDALE, Individually

and as Personal Representative of the

ESTATE of ROBERT A. TISDALE, JR.,

Defendants

Jury-waived trial on the plaintiffs' complaint and the defendant's

counterclaim was held on 3/25/09. The plaintiffs and the defendant Debra

Tisdale, individually, allege that they have not received full payment due to

them on the respective notes. Joint exhibits 1-19 and 24-28 were admitted. The

parties also stipulated to paragraphs 1-23 and 26-27 of the Stipulation of Facts.

FACTS

In 1987, the plaintiffs! lived in Natic:k, Massachusetts/ and at all relevant

times the plaintiffs lived in Massachusetts. (Stip. <j[ 19.) Plaintiff Mavoumeen

Tornesello's younger brother, Robert Tisdale, lived in Florida but commuted to

Maine to operate his property management business, Dirigo.

The plaintiffs had previously sold their Newton home and used the

proceeds to purchase the Natick home, which was unencumbered. Robert

Tisdale asked the plaintiffs to obtain a mortgage on the Natick home and give

1They divorced in 1999.

2 The plaintiffs filed this complaint and claimed entitlement to the outstanding principal and

interest on the 3/27/87 Note. Debra Tisdale subsequently filed a counterclaim and sought

recovery on the 6/10/87 Note.

him the money, which he intended to invest. The plaintiffs were reluctant

because they considered the equity in their home to be their retirement funds.

Mavoumeen had no other retirement funds.

Robert Tisdale prepared and sent several written proposals regarding the

money to the plaintiffs. (Jt. Exs. 2A, 2B.) Negotiations took place by phone and

mail while the parties were in Florida, Maine, and Massachusetts, and in person

while the parties were in Massachusetts. Eventually, the plaintiffs borrowed

$171,500.00 from BankEast Mortgage Corporation (BankEast), secured by a

mortgage on their home. Robert Tisdale appeared with the plaintiffs at the

closing. The plaintiffs signed the 25-year adjustable rate promissory note on

3/17/87 (hereinafter//3/27/87Note//). (Jt. Ex. 3.)

The entire $171,500.00 borrowed was loaned to Robert and Debra Tisdale

on 3/27/87. Debra Tisdale agreed that Robert Tisdale was acting as her agent

and she knew about the transaction. Robert Tisdale prepared the 3/27/87 Note,

which the parties signed. (Jt. Ex. 6.) All relevant negotiations leading to the

signing of the 3/27/87 Note took place in Massachusetts. (Stip. <JI 21.) The

3/27/87 Note was signed in Massachusetts, except that Debra Tisdale did not

sign in Massachusetts, and her signature was not notarized in Massachusetts. 3

(Stip. <JI 22.)

Robert Tisdale had previously obtained the life insurance identified in the

3/27/87 Note. 4 at. Exs. 4A, 4B, 4D, 4E, 4F.) He assigned the policy to the

plaintiffs and informed them that they would receive notice from the insurer if

3 Debra Tisdale signed in Florida.

4The 3/27/87 Note provided that, during the term of the note, Robert Tisdale would "maintain

$100,000 of life insurance assigned to Michael P. & Mavourneen M. Tornesello." (Stip. lJ[ 6.)

2

the policy was at risk of lapsing. (Stip. <IT 15.) This policy lapsed for nonpayment

in 1994. The plaintiffs were not notified of the lapse. (Stip. <IT<IT 17, 18.)

The initial monthly payments to BankEast were $1,366.55; this figure

would be adjusted annually. Robert and Debra Tisdale were to pay the monthly

payments, with any adjustments, plus an additional amount of interest to repay

the plaintiffs for securing the funds. The interest rate of 11.97% was determined

by Robert Tisdale.

During the discussions, Robert Tisdale believed that the debt to BankEast

would be paid earlier than required by the note. If the bank note was paid early,

the plaintiffs would continue to receive payments at a rate tied to the index. (Jt.

Ex. 3.) The plaintiffs and Robert Tisdale also discussed and agreed to a balloon

payment at the end of 25 years.

Mavourneen Tomesello sent the bank coupons to Debra Tisdale, who paid

the monthly payments to the bank. When the interest rate for the mortgage was

adjusted, Mavourneen Tornesello sent the notices to Robert and Debra Tisdale.

(Jt. Exs. lOA, lOB.)

On 6/10 /87, Robert Tisdale loaned $20,000.00 to Yorkshire Consulting

Group, Inc. (Yorkshire), and memorialized this loan in a promissory note dated

6/10/87 (hereinafter "6/10/87 Note"). Plaintiff Michael Tomesello guaranteed

payment. (Jt. Ex. 7.) Yorkshire was always domiciled in Massachusetts. (Stip. <IT

20.) All relevant negotiations leading to the signing of the 6/10/87 Note took

place in Massachusetts. (Stip. <IT 21.) The 6/10/87 Note was signed in

Massachusetts. (Stip. <IT 22.) This debt has not been paid. Yorkshire is now

insolvent. The Estate's counterclaim was filed on 4/23/07.

3

When Robert and Debra Tisdale ceased making payments to BankEast in

late 1989 or 1990, the plaintiffs were notified by Robert Tisdale and the bank.

Robert Tisdale told the plaintiffs he was in financial difficulties and could not

afford to make the payments. The plaintiffs agreed that Mavourneen Tomesello

would act as the spokesperson and go-between among Robert Tisdale and the

plaintiffs because he was family. Mavourneen Tornesello asked her husband to

be patient because the situation had to be treated differently because of the

family connection. She loved her brother and they were very close. Mavourneen

Tomesello spoke to her brother at least one time each year. He continued, over

those years, to assure Mavourneen Tomesello that the plaintiffs would receive

the money and that the insurance policy was still in place. (See, ~ It. Ex. 13A.)

She relied on Robert Tisdale's statements; she had no reason to disbelieve him.

The Tisdales never paid any additional amounts on the debt to the bank or the

plaintiffs.

Robert Tisdale died on 7/2/05. (Jt. Ex. 24 at 81). Mavourneen Tomesello

called Debra Tisdale to inquire about the insurance policy. Both women agreed

that they hoped the policy was in place. Mavoumeen Tornesello subsequently

learned that there was no life insurance to secure the debt. Debra Tisdale stated

that she knew nothing about it and referred Mavourneen Tomesello to Attorney

Mitchell. She called Attomey Mitchell's office after speaking to Debra Tisdale

and faxed the requested documents. (Jt. Ex. 14A, 14B.) When Mavourneen

Tomesello did not hear anything from Attorney Mitchell, she called Debra

Tisdale, who stated that there was no money available. The Probate inventory

shows that some debt was paid by life insurance. at. Ex. 18.)

4

If Robert Tisdale had told Mavourneen Tomesello that he did not intend

to pay the debt or that the insurance had lapsed, she would have spoken to an

attomey earlier than she did and would have filed a lawsuit; Michael Tomesello

wanted to litigate the issue much earlier than his wife. The plaintiffs' complaint

was filed on 10/6/06.

DISCUSSION

1. 3/27/87 Note

a. Statute of Limitations

Defendant Debra Tisdale argues that Maine's six-year statute of

limitations bars the plaintiffs' claim. Defendant Tisdale contends that three

issues critical to this determination were clarified in Tornesello v. Tisdale, 2008

ME 84, 948 A.2d 124, where the Law Court affirmed an order of the Superior

Court (Studstrup, J.) denying Debra Tisdale's motion for judgment on the

pleadings in this case. Although the Law Court found Debra Tisdale's

interlocutory appeal premature, the Law Court recognized that "[i]n Maine, non­

negotiable notes remain subject to the general six-year [statute of limitations],"

whereas in Massachusetts, "a non-negotiable note qualifies for the twenty-year

limit." Tisdale, 2008 ME 84, <J[ 10, 948 A.2d at 1249. The Law Court also noted

that the "Tomesellos do not dispute that the [3/27/87] note is non-negotiable,"

but "counter that because Massachusetts has the most significant relationship to

the parties and the transactions involving the note, Massachusetts's twenty-year

statute of limitations should control." Id. <J[ 11, 948 A.2d at 1249. Finally, because

neither exception to traditional choice of law rules applied, the Law Court

determined that "Maine will apply its statute of limitations to this suit." Id. <J[ 16,

948 A.2d at 1250. Defendant Tisdale argues that a fair reading of Tisdale compels

5

only one reasonable conclusion: Maine's six-year statute of limitations applies to

the 3/27/87 Note.

The plaintiffs counter that the 3/27/87 Note should be governed by

Maine's twenty-year statute of limitations, 14 M.R.S. § 751,5 because it is a

"promissory note[] signed in the presence of an attesting witness." Although the

plaintiffs concede that, pursuant to Maine law, a "promissory note" must be a

negotiable instrument, the plaintiffs argue that what constitutes a "promissory

note" is a question of substantive law, and is governed by the law of the state

with the most significant relationship to the 3/27/87 Note: Massachusetts.

Accordingly, the plaintiffs maintain that because, under the law of

Massachusetts, a note does not have to be negotiable to qualify as a "promissory

note," the 3/27/87 Note is a "promissory note" within the meaning of 14 M.R.S.

§ 751, and subject to Maine's twenty-year statute of limitations.

Essentially, the plaintiffs argue that where the applicable statute of

limitations itself depends upon substantive law, in this case what constitutes a

"promissory note," analysis of the statute of limitations issue requires

consideration of both the law of the forum state and another state's substantive

law. The court does not agree. See Alropa Corp. v. Britton, 135 Me. 41,44, 188 A.

722 (1936) (stating that "[s]tatutes of limitation, which do not extinguish the right

itself, operate merely on the remedy and, in the absence of statute to the

contrary, all questions arising thereunder must be determined by the law of the

5 Section 751 provides:

Except as provided in Title 11, section 2-725, personal actions on contracts or

liabilities under seal, promissory notes signed in the presence of an attesting

witness, or on the bills, notes or other evidences of debt issued by a bank shall be

commenced within 20 years after the cause of action accrues.

6

forum and not by the law of the situs of the contract") (emphasis added);

RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF CONFLICT OF LAWS § 142 cmt. a ("The law selected by

application of the rule of this Section determines whether a claim is barred by the

statute of limitations. That law also determines all matters involving the

application of the statute of limitations.") (emphasis added). Accordingly,

because, under Maine law, the non-negotiable 3/27/87 Note does not qualify as

a "promissory note," Maine's six-year statute of limitations applies.

b. Estoppel

The plaintiffs argue that, notwithstanding the applicability of Maine's six-

year statute of limitations, Debra Tisdale should be estopped from asserting the

statute of limitations as a defense to the plaintiffs' claim to enforce the 3/27/87

Note. See Dasha v. Maine Med. Ctr., 665 A.2d 993, 995 (Me. 1995) ("estoppel

may be used to prevent the affirmative defense of the statute of limitations if the

elements of estoppel are present").

In explaining estoppel, the Law Court has stated:

The gist of an estoppel barring the defendant from invoking the

defense of the statute of limitations is that the defendant has

conducted himself in a manner which actually induces the plaintiff

not to take timely legal action on a claim. The plaintiff thus relies to

his detriment on the conduct of the defendant by failing to seek

legal redress while the doors to the courthouse remain open to him.

Only upon a demonstration that the plaintiff had in fact intended to

seek legal redress on his claim during the prescriptive period can

his failure to file suit be specifically attributed to the defendant's

conduct.

Nuccio v. Nuccio, 673 A.2d 1331, 1334 (Me. 1996) (quoting Townsend v. Appel,

446 A.2d 1132, 1134 (Me. 1982»; see also Shackford & Gooch, Inc. v. Town of

Kennebunk, 486 A.2d 102, 105-06 (Me. 1984) ("Proper application of the doctrine

of equitable estoppel rests on the factual determination that 'the declarations or

7

acts relied upon must have induced the party seeking to enforce the estoppel to

do what resulted to his detriment, and what he would not otherwise have

d one. /II) . I/[E]quitable estoppel is a doctrine that should be carefully and

sparingly applied," and requires "clear and satisfactory proof." Nuccio, 673 A.2d

1334. 6

The facts of this case support the conclusion that Debra Tisdale7 should be

estopped from asserting the statute of limitations defense. The fact that

Mavourneen Tomesello trusted and relied on her brother is shown perhaps most

compellingly by the fact that the plaintiffs loaned Robert Tisdale a significant

amount of their retirement funds. Throughout her dealings with her brother, he

continually assured her that the plaintiffs would be paid and, perhaps most

importantly, that the insurance policy was still in place. But for Robert Tisdale's

assurances, reasonably relied upon by Mavoumeen, she would have filed suit

during the permitted period. Debra Tisdale is thus estopped from asserting the

statute of limitations defense.

6 Although Maine law is applicable, the standard for proving estoppel in Massachusetts is

similar:

It has long been the rule that to meet this burden, a plaintiff must show that the

"statements of the defendant lulled the plaintiff into the false belief that it was

not necessary ... to commence action within the statutory period of limitations ..

., that the plaintiff was induced by these statements to refrain from bringing suit,

as otherwise [the plaintiff] would have done, and was thereby harmed, and that

the defendant 'knew or had reasonable cause to know that such consequence

might follow.'"

Pagliarini v. Iannaco, 800 N.E.2d 696, 698 (Mass. 2003) (quoting Ford v. Rogovin, 194 N.E. 719,

720 (Mass. 1935)). Applying Massachusetts' requirement that the defendant "knew or had

reasonable cause to know that such consequence might follow," may be a distinct and additional

element not required under Maine law.

7 Debra Tisdale is bound by the representations made by her husband, who, she agreed, was

acting as her agent. See, ~ Crowley v. Dubuc, 430 A.2d 549, 552 (Me. 1981) (principal is liable

for misrepresentations made by her agent within the scope of the agent's authority).

8

c. Demand Note or Installment Note

As Debra Tisdale is estopped from asserting the statute of limitations

defense to the plaintiffs' claim, the issue of whether the 3/27/87 Note IS a

demand note or an installment note has decreased in significance.8

II[I]n the construction of a note the intention of the parties is to control if it

can be legally ascertained by a study of the entire contents of the instrument with

no part excluded from consideration, and anythingwritten or printed on the note

prior to its issuance relating to its subject matter must be regarded as a part of the

contract and given due weight in its construction." Barron v. Boynton, 137 Me.

69, 71, 15 A.2d 191, 192 (1940). Where there is ambiguity, although extrinsic

evidence is not admissible to vary the contract's terms, such evidence is

admissible to ascertain the intent of the parties. Hills v. Gardiner Sav. Inst., 309

A.2d 877, 881 (Me. 1973). Ambiguous language should be construed more

strongly against the party who drafted the contract. Id.

The 3/27/87 Note does not designate a time for payment or indicate that

it is payable on demand. See 11 AM. JUR. 2D Bills and Notes § 105 ("A promise or

order is payable on demand if (1) it states that it is payable on demand or at

sight, (2) it otherwise indicates that it is payable at the will of the holder, or (3) no

II

time is stated for payment. ); see also Lakhaney v. Anzelone, 788 F. Supp. 160,

163 (S.D.N.Y. 1991) (applying New York law and explaining that where a note

"does not designate a time of payment or indicate that it is payable on demand"

8 If the statute of limitations had been a valid defense, and if the 3/27/87 Note is a demand note,

the statute of limitations would begin to run on the date the note was executed, and the plaintiffs'

claims would be untimely. See Barron v. Boynton, 137 Me. 69, 71, 15 A.2d 191, 192 (1940).

Conversely, if the note is an installment note, the cause of action arises only when the accrued

installments on the note are due. Id.; Hills v. Gardiner Sav. Inst., 309 A.2d 877, 882-83 (Me. 1973).

Therefore, claims based on installments that became due in the six years prior to the plaintiffs

initiating their suit would be timely.

9

it "is presumed to be payable on demand unless there is some indication that a

date of payment was intended and mistakenly omitted"). The lack of a stated

time for payment, however, is not dispositive. See, ~ Boynton, 137 Me. at 71,

15 A.2d at 192 (finding note without stated time for repayment to be an

installment note). The note does call for "monthly payments of $1,366.55." See

id. (finding express contractual terms stating "[m]onthly payments [were] to be

Fifty dollars each month," partly supported conclusion that note was an

installment note "calling for monthly payments ... until the full amount of the

debt is satisfied"). The language of the note is ambiguous, and a review of

relevant extrinsic evidence is necessary to determine the intent of the parties. See

Hills, 309 A.2d at 881 ("extrinsic evidence is allowable to explain ambiguities

which cloud the intent and expectations of the parties").

An examination of the evidence revealed at trial demonstrates that the

intent of the parties was for an installment note. First, given the large sum of

money, $170,500, it was likely intended that the Tisdales "were to have time in

which to liquidate their obligation and not be compelled to pay the entire debt on

demand." Boynton, 137 Me. at 72, 15 A.2d at 193. Further, partial collateral

security, in the form of life insurance, was furnished. See id. The note calls for

"equal monthly payments," and the provision for repayment "prior to

maturity,"9 the adjustments to the "interest rate and resultant monthly

payments" based upon the Adjustable Rate Note with BankEast, and the parties'

agreement to a balloon payment at the end of 25 years,t° all support the

9 See. ~ Reese v. First Missouri Bank & Trust Co., 664 S.W.2d 530, 536 (Mo. Ct. App. 1983)

("language of maturity ... is inconsistent with a demand note").

10 These findings also undercut the defendants' primary argument that the 3/27/87 Note is a

demand note. The defendants argue that an installment note could never be fully paid because

10

interpretation that this was an installment note. The court concludes as such,

and finds the 3/27/87 Note is an installment note. Plaintiffs are, however, only

entitled to damages for partial breach for non-payment of the unpaid

installments currently due. Damages for future installments not yet due are

unavailable. See RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF CONTRACTS § 243(3) ("Where at the

time of the breach the only remaining duties of performance are those of the

party in breach and are for the payment of money in installments not related to

one another, his breach by non-performance as to less than the whole, whether or

not accompanied or followed by a repudiation, does not give rise to a claim for

damages for total breach.").

d. Fraudulent Concealment-14 M.R.S. § 85911

Although the plaintiffs indicate that they "continue to believe that the

Tisdales' repeated misrepresentations ... were fraudulent and justify a tolling of

the statute of limitations pursuant to 14 M.R.S.A. § 859," they acknowledge that

the "matter can be more readily resolved by application of estoppel." (Pl.'s

Opp'n Br. at 9 n. 2.) Because the plaintiffs have failed to show the applicability of

this provision to the facts of this case, the plaintiffs' claim is not saved pursuant

to 14 M.R.S. § 859.

the monthly payment scheme was less than the monthly accruing interest on the principal

amount. The defendants then reason that the only logical conclusion is that the 3/27/87 Note is a

demand note. Because of the balloon payment after 25 years, and the adjustable interest rate and

monthly payments tied to the BankEast note, the court finds the defendants' argument

unpersuasive.

11 Section 859 provides:

If a person, liable to any action mentioned, fraudulently conceals the cause

thereof from the person entitled thereto, or if a fraud is committed which entitles

any person to an action, the action may be commenced at any time within 6 years

after the person entitled thereto discovers that he has just cause of action, except

as provided in section 3580.

11

II. 6/10/87 Note

a. Statute of Limitations

The plaintiffs argue that Maine's six-year statute of limitations, 14 M.R.S. §

752, rather than the twenty-year statute of limitations, applies to the 6/10/87

Note. 12 Recognizing that the key issue in this determination is whether the

6/10/87 Note is negotiable, the plaintiffs argue that, under Maine law, the note is

not negotiable. Although Debra Tisdale maintains that the issue of negotiability

should be determined pursuant to Massachusetts law, Maine law governs the

analysis of the 6/10/87 Note's negotiability for purposes of Maine's statute of

limitations, as discussed above regarding the 3/27/87 Note. See RESTATEMENT

(SECOND) OF CONFLICT OF LAWS § 142 cmt. a.

In determining whether the 6/10/87 Note is negotiable, the version of

Maine's Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) that applied when the note was

executed provides that, in order to be negotiable, a writing must:

(a) Be signed by the maker or drawer; and

(b) Contain an unconditional promise or order to pay a sum certain

in money and no other promise, order obligation or power

given by the maker or drawer except as authorized by this

Article; and

(c) Be payable on demand or at a definite time; and

(d) Be payable to order or to bearer.

11 M.R.S.A. § 3-104(1) (1963).

The plaintiffs argue that nowhere in the 6/10/87 Note does the language

payable "to order" or "to bearer," as required by 11 M.R.S.A. § 3-104(1), appear.

The note provides, in relevant part, "On Demand, Yorkshire Consulting Group

Inc. promises to pay Robert A. Tisdale, Jr. and Debra A. Tisdale on order at 1154

West Way Drive, Sarasota, Florida 33577 the sum of Twenty Thousand and

12 Debra Tisdale counters that Maine's twenty-year statute of limitations, 14 M.R.S. § 751, applies.

12

no/100 Dollars with interest ...." at. Ex. 7) (emphasis added). The plaintiffs

submit that"on order" is not, and should not be interpreted as, synonymous

with "to order." Instead, the plaintiffs refer to the u.s. Bankruptcy Code for the

meaning of the phrase "on order," which is equivalent to "on demand." See 11

U.s.C § 542(b) ("an entity that owes a debt that is property of the estate and that

is matured, payable on demand, or payable on order, shall pay such debt to, or

on the order of, the trustee ...."); see also In re Kids World of Am., Inc., 349 B.R.

152, 163 (Bnkr. W.D. Ky. 2006).

Debra Tisdale responds that interpreting "on order" to be synonymous

with "on demand" would run counter to the general rule of avoiding

interpreting language as surplusage. She also argues that such a reading is

overly technical. Seer ~ Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank v.

Bailey, 710 F. Supp. 737, 739 (CD. Cal. 1989) (rejecting "an overly technical

standard" under California's Uniform Commercial Code § 3104 and disavowing

the need for the use of "magic words," holding that the words "pay to the order

to" rather than "pay to the order of" did not render a note non-negotiable);

Lakhaney v. Anzelone, 788 F. Supp. 160, 163 (S.D.N.Y. 1991) ("The note's

designation that it is payable to 'Nan Lakhaney or order' is sufficient to meet the

requirement that it be payable to order.").

The court agrees with Debra Tisdale and concludes that the note is

negotiable. Accordingly, Maine's twenty-year statute of limitations, 14 M.R.S. §

751, applies, and Debra Tisdale's claim is timely. Michael Tornesello, as a

guarantor, is liable on the note regardless of whether demand was made on

Yorkshire. See D'Annolfo v. D'Annolfo Constr. Co./ 654 N.E.2d 82, 84-85 (Mass.

App. Ct. 1995).

III. Attorney's Fees and Damages

a. 3/27/87 Note

The court cannot determine on this record the amount due on the 3/27/87

Note. 13 (Jt. Ex. 6.) The parties did not stipulate to an amount due. (Proposed

Stip. <J[ 24; Defs.' Reply to PIs.' Opp'n to Defs.' Mot. for Summ. J. at 1.) The case

will be scheduled for further hearing unless counsel can stipulate to the amount

due on the 3/27/87 Note, based on this decision.

b. 6/10/87 Note

The amount due on the note, as of 11/10/08, is $101,886.43, with per diem

interest after 11/10/08 of $10.96. (Jt. Ex. 27.) The note also calls for attorney's

fees to be paid by the guarantor "should suit be commenced or an attorney

employed to enforce payment of this note." at. Ex. 7.)

MAVOURNEEN M. TORNESELLO

and MICHAEL P. TORNESELLO,

Plaintiffs

v. JUDGMENT

DEBRA A. TISDALE, individually, and as

Personal Representative of the Estate of

ROBERT A. TISDALE, JR.,

Defendants

A jury waived trial on the plaintiffs' complaint and defendants' counterclaim

was held on March 25, 2009. By judgment dated July 6, 2009, the court entered

judgment in favor of the Tornesellos on the March 27, 1987 note, which was the subject

of their complaint, and in favor of Debra Tisdale and the Estate of Robert A. Tisdale, Jr.

on the June 10, 1987 note, which was the subject of their counterclaim. With regard to

the June 10, 1987 note, the court determined that the amount due, as of November 10,

2008, was $101,886.43, with per diem interest of $10.86 plus attorney fees. The court

requested that the parties confer 'with regard to a stipulation as to the amount due on

the March 27, 1987 note, based upon the findings and conclusions of the court in the

judgment.

On July 16, 2009, the Tisdales filed a motion to alter and amend judgment. The

court denied that motion by order dated September 16, 2009.

On October 6, 2009, the court held a hearing on the damages with regard to the

March 27, 1987 note. Through counsel, the parties appeared at the hearing and

stipulated that the amount due on the March 27, 1987 note, as of March 27, 2009, was

$221,578.00. This amount represents the interest that would have been due pursuant to

the BankEast note. The BankEast interest rate was based upon the index rate identified

as the weekly average yield on United States Treasuries Securities adjusted to a constant

maturity of one year, as made payable by the Federal Reserve Board. This index rate is

set forth in the BankEast note identified as exhibit 3 at the March 25,2009 trial.

At the March 25, 2009 trial, exhibit 28 was admitted, which sets forth, in the

fourth column, the yearly index rates from the date of the loan through March 27,2009.

The BankEast note required that the rate charged the Tornesellos would adjust annually

based upon the index rate plus an additional 2.875%. Column 6 of exhibit 28 sets forth

the yearly interest payments that would be due pursuant to the BankEast note, taking

into consideration the index rate plus an additional 2.875%.

Based upon the court's July 6, 2009 judgment, the parties stipulated that the total

amount due for interest, from the inception of the loan through March 27, 2009, would

have been $276,458.00. Also based upon the court's July 6, 2009 judgment, the parties

stipulated that the first three years of interest should be deducted from that amount,

because the court found that the Tisdales stopped making payments in late 1989 or

1990.

After deducting the first three years of interest, the parties stipulated that the

amount due in interest on the $171,500.00 loan as of March 27, 2009 was $221,578.00.

Pursuant to the court's judgment of July 6, 2009, the Tornesellos are not entitled

to accelerate the amounts due on the March 27, 1987 note.

Also pursuant to the court's July 6, 2009 judgment, the amount due on the June

10, 1987 note as of November 10, 2008, was $101,886.43, with per diem interest after

November 10, 2008 of $10.96 per day. The amount due on the June 10, 1987 note as of

March 27,2009, was $103,376.99.

2

The June 10, 1987 note contains a provision for attorney fees. The parties

stipulated that the attorney fees award on the June 10, 1987 note is $23,000.00. This

amount is awarded to the defendants Debra Tisdale, individually and as Personal

Representative of the Estate of Robert A. Tisdale, Jr. and against the plaintiffs

Mavourneen Tornesello and Michael Tornesello.

The parties stipulated that they are entitled to post-judgment interest as of July 6,

2009 at the statutory rate of 6.40%.
