2 2. Maturity Date: The Maturity Date under the Note is May 13, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”). 3. Annual Interest Rate on Unpaid Principal from Date: The Note shall bear interest, except on past due sums, at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of FOUR PERCENT (4.0%) fixed, or the Maximum Lawful Rate permitted by applicable law. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day, but excluding the last day), unless such rate would result in a usurious rate, in which case, interest shall be calculated on the basis of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as appropriate. 4. Annual Interest Rate on Matured, Unpaid Amounts: All past due sums, including principal and interest of this Note, whether due as the result of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall bear interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate, or if applicable law shall not provide for a Maximum Lawful Rate, at a rate per annum equal to the eighteen percent (18.0%) from the date the payment thereof shall have become due until the same have been fully discharged by payment. In addition, Payee may charge and collect a late fee of five percent (5.0%) of any scheduled installment that is ten (10) days past due, except for the payment due at maturity. 5. Modification of Payments. From and after the effective date of this Agreement, principal and interest shall be due and payable under the Note as follows: Principal and accrued interest payments of THIRTY-THREE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED SIXTY-THREE AND 94/100 DOLLARS ($33,763.94) each, are due and payable beginning on or before April 13, 2013, and continuing regularly and monthly thereafter on the same day of each month until May 13, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”). At that time, the entire amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid will be payable. Interest will be calculated on the unpaid principal to the date of each payment made. Payments will be credited first to accrued unpaid interest and then to the reduction of principal. Maker acknowledges that the payment amount has been computed based on the annual interest rate in effect on the date hereof amortized over the remaining one hundred eighty-eight (188) months out of the initial amortization period of twenty (20) years. 6. Usury. No provisions of this Agreement or the Note or any instrument evidencing or securing the Note, or otherwise relating to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, shall require the payment or permit the collection, application or receipt of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable state or federal law. If any excess of interest in such respect is herein or in any such other instrument provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided for herein or in any such instrument, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and neither Borrower nor any endorsers of the Note nor their respective heirs or personal representatives shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent it is in excess of the amount permitted by applicable law. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender to at all times comply with the usury and other laws relating to the Note, the Deed of Trust, and any subsequent revisions, repeals or judicial interpretations thereof; to the extent applicable thereto. In the event Lender or other holder of the Note ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Note, and, if upon such application the principal balance of the Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be forthwith paid to Borrower and the provisions of the Note or the Deed of Trust shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectable thereunder reduced, without the

3 necessity of execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the maximum interest allowed to be charged by applicable law, Borrower and Lender or other holder hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of the Note so that the amount or rate of interest charged for any and all periods of time during the term of the Note is to the greatest extent possible less than the maximum amount or rate of interest allowed to be charged by law during the relevant period of time. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if at any time applicable laws shall be changed so as to permit a higher rate or amount of interest to be charged than that permitted prior to such change, then unless prohibited by law, references in the Note to “applicable law” for purposes of determining the maximum interest or rate of interest that can be charged shall be deemed to refer to such applicable law as so amended to allow the greater amount or rate of interest. 7. Release and Waiver of Usury Claims. In consideration of the benefits received by Borrower hereunder, Borrower hereby waives, releases and terminates all claims, or right to claim, whether known or unknown, that Lender has charged, collected or received usurious interest under the Note or the Deed of Trust and hereby waives and releases any right or power to bring any claim against Lender for usury or to pursue any cause of action against Lender based on any claim or usury. 8. Reaffirmation of Representations, Etc. Borrower hereby reaffirms to Lender each of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Borrower set forth in the Note and the Deed of Trust. 9. Enforceable Obligations. Borrower hereby ratifies, affirms, reaffirms, acknowledges, confirms and agrees that the Note represents a valid and enforceable obligation of Borrower, and Borrower further acknowledges that there are no existing claims, defenses, personal or otherwise, or rights of setoff whatsoever with respect to the Note, and Borrower further acknowledges and represents that no event has occurred and no condition exists which would constitute a default under the Note, the Deed of Trust, or this Agreement, either with or without notice or lapse of time, or both. 10. No Release of Liens. This Agreement in no way acts as a release or relinquishment of the liens, security interests and rights (the “Liens”) created or evidenced by the Deed of Trust. The Liens are hereby ratified and confirmed by Borrower in all respects and are hereby renewed and extended to secure (i) the principal amount of the Note, (ii) all interest, charges and other sums payable with respect thereto, and (iii) the performance of all other obligations under the Deed of Trust. 11. Additional Modifications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or inferred hereby or in any other instrument executed by Borrower or in any other action or conduct undertaken by Borrower on or before the date hereof, the agreements, covenants and provisions contained herein shall constitute the only evidence of Lender’s consent to modify the terms and provisions of the Note, No express or implied consent to any further modifications involving any of the matters set forth in this Agreement or otherwise, shall be inferred or implied from Lender’s execution of this Agreement.

(f) In case any of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(i) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement of its own free will and accord and in accordance with its own judgment after advice of its own legal counsel, and states that it has not been induced to enter into this Agreement by any statement, act or representation of any kind or character on the part of the parties hereto, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
