and interest on an interest-bearing instrument is payable from the date of the
instrument.
2. Interest may be stated in an instrument as a fixed or variable amount of money or it
may be expressed as a fixed or variable rate or rates. The amount or rate of interest
may be stated or described in the instrument in any manner and may require reference
