The Commitment Letter from the Bank to Borrower, this Note and all documents executed in connection with this Note are referred to herein collectively as the “Loan Documents.”
1. INTEREST RATE. The Borrower will pay the Bank interest on the unpaid principal balance at the annual rate set forth below (calculated on the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year) from the date of this Note until the entire principal balance has been paid whether or not judgment is obtained. At no time, however, will the interest rate exceed the maximum allowable by law.
ý Adjustable Rate. For the first year of this Note, the interest rate will be fixed at eight and one-quarter (8.25 %) percent, which is equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus one (1%) percent and then adjusted annually to a fixed rate for the year equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus one (1%) percent, with a floor rate of seven and one-half (7.50%) percent at all times, subject to the Term Loan Agreement.
2. TERM. This Note matures, and all unpaid principal, accrued interest and all other amounts recoverable under the Loan Documents are payable on February 1, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”).
3. PAYMENTS. The Borrower will pay principal and interest and real estate taxes by making payments as follows (which payments, will be applied first to any fees, costs, expenses or charges under the Loan Documents, then to the payment of accrued interest, and the balance only applied to principal): 12 consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount of $46,202.30 plus real estate taxes, said amount being based upon a twenty (20) year amortization schedule at the interest rate as set forth above with principal and interest payments adjusted annually at the time of interest rate reset. Payments will be made by the Borrower on the first day of each month beginning March 1, 2006, until the Maturity Date of February 1, 2016, at which time the Borrower will pay all remaining outstanding principal plus interest and any fees and charges incurred.
4. PREPAYMENTS. During the term of the Loan, for the loss on income, there shall be a premium for the prepayment of the Loan before its scheduled maturity. (a) Except as set forth in subsection (b) below, if the Loan is prepaid, in whole or in part, within the first year of its term, the premium shall be five (5%) percent of the prepaid amount. If prepayment occurs in the second year of its term, the premium shall be four (4%) percent. If prepayment occurs in the third year the prepayment shall be three (3%) percent. If prepayment occurs in the fourth year the premium shall be two (2%) percent, and one (1%) percent if it occurs in the fifth year. At no time shall the prepayment premium be less than one (1%) percent. (b) If the Borrower sells one of the two buildings to an independent party at a later date, the Bank will assess a one (1%) percent premium provided that the Bank receives a payment reducing the Loan in an amount equal to forty (40%) percent of the initial appraised value and the remaining parcel has a loan to value not less than sixty (60%) percent of the remaining balance of the Loan. In addition, the Borrower must pay a Five Thousand ($5,000.00) and 00/100 Dollar release fee for the release of the parcel.
5. LATE FEE. If the Bank does not receive the entire amount of any payment required under this Note within fifteen (15) days of its due date, the Borrower will pay a late fee of five (5%) percent of that entire amount. Any such late charge assessed is immediately due and payable.

In addition, the Bank shall have all the rights and remedies provided in the other Loan Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise. All of the Bank’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by the Bank to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or take action to perform any obligation of Borrower or of any Guarantor shall not affect the Bank’s right to declare an Event of Default and to exercise its rights and remedies.
