2. Interest.
(a) Interest Rate. From and after the date hereof until the
Due Date, interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Principal Balance (except
that portion, if any, accruing interest at the Default Interest Rate),
calculated pursuant to the method of calculation set forth in subparagraph (b)
below, at a fixed interest rate equal to 8% per annum.
(b) Calculation of Interest. All calculations of interest
hereunder shall be made with reference to the Interest Rate or the Default
Interest Rate, as applicable, and shall be computed (subject to any provisions
of applicable law which limit the maximum allowable interest) based on (i) a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months for each full calendar month and
(ii) the actual number of days in the applicable period for which interest is
being calculated for any partial calendar month, assuming a 365-day year. As an
example of the foregoing calculation for a partial calendar month: If the
Disbursement Date is March 15, the Interest Rate is 10% and the amount accruing
interest at such rate is $1,000,000.00, then the amount of accrued interest that
would be payable on April 1 would be $4,657.53
3
4
(($1,000,000.00 x 10%) + 365 x 17). In computing the number of days during which
interest accrues on any amount outstanding under this Promissory Note, the first
date from which such interest is stated to accrue hereunder shall be included
and, provided that the payment in question is received by Holder prior to 11:00
A.M., Central Time, the date of payment of such amount to Holder shall be
excluded.
(c) Default Interest and Charges. In the event that any
payment of principal and/or interest hereunder is not received by Holder within
fifteen (15) days after the due date thereof, Maker shall pay to Holder a late
charge in an amount equal to 4$ of the amount of such overdue payment (unless a
late charge in such amount is usurious or prohibited by applicable law, in which
event the highest non-usurious late charge permitted by applicable law shall be
used). In addition to the late charge referred to above, if any such payment is
not made when due or if the entire Outstanding Principal Balance and all accrued
but unpaid interest hereunder is not paid in full on the Due Date, or in the
event any other default occurs under any of the Loan Documents and such default
is not cured within any applicable cure period, then from and after the date
such default shall have occurred, the entire amount of the Indebtedness shall
bear interest, calculated pursuant to the method of calculation set forth in
subparagraph (b) above, at the Default Interest Rate (unless interest in such
amount is usurious or prohibited by the applicable law, in which event the
highest non-usurious interest rate permitted by applicable law shall be used).
The Default Interest Rate shall be in lieu of any other interest rate otherwise
applicable and shall commence, without notice, immediately upon and from the
occurrence of such default and shall continue until the entire amount of the
Indebtedness is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth
in this subparagraph shall imply any obligation on the part of Holder to accept
any payment not made within any applicable cure period. Maker acknowledges that
it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Xxxxxx's actual
damages resulting from any late payment and the aforementioned late charge and
default interest are reasonable estimates of those damages.
3. Monthly Installments.
(a) If the Disbursement Date is other than the first day of a
calendar month, then, on the first day of the calendar month immediately
following the month in which the Disbursement Date occurs, interest only at the
Interest Rate, calculated pursuant to the method of calculation set forth in
Paragraph 2(b) hereof, shall be due and payable hereunder for the period from
the Disbursement Date to such payment date.
(b) Commencing on the first day of the second full calendar
month following the Disbursement Date (or the first day of the first full
calendar month following the Disbursement Date if the Disbursement Date is the
first day of a calendar month) and continuing on the first day of each calendar
month thereafter until the Due Date, equal monthly installments of principal and
interest, each in the amount of $64,057.65, shall be due and payable hereunder.
4

4. Maturity Date. The maturity date of this Promissory Note shall be
the Due Date, at which time the entire Indebtedness shall be due and payable in
full.
5. Early Repayment.
(a) Repayment Prohibited. Maker is prohibited from repaying
any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance prior to the Opening Date for
Permissible Early Repayment.
(b) Permissible Early Repayment with Premium. From and after
the Opening Date for Permissible Early Repayment to that date which is 90 days
prior to the Due Date, provided that Holder shall have received at least 60 days
prior written notice thereof, Maker may repay, in full only, the Indebtedness,
provided that such repayment is accompanied by an Early Repayment Premium, as
calculated in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A hereto. Maker agrees
that Xxxxxx shall not be obligated to actually reinvest the amount repaid in any
treasury obligations as a condition precedent to receiving the Early Repayment
Premium.
(c) Permissible Early Repayment without Premium. From and
after that date which is 90 days prior to the Due Date until the Due Date,
provided that Holder shall have received at least 20 days prior written notice
thereof, Maker may repay, in full only, the Indebtedness without premium, fee or
penalty.
(d) Repayment on Condemnation or Casualty. Partial (or full)
repayments of the Outstanding Principal Balance are permitted when no default
exists hereunder or under the other Loan Documents is such repayment results
from the application of insurance or condemnation proceeds to reduce the
Outstanding Principal Balance as provided in the Deed of Trust, in which event
no repayment premium, fee or penalty shall be due. No notice of repayment shall
be required under the circumstance specified in the preceding sentence. Any such
partial repayments of principal shall be applied to the Outstanding Principal
Balance and the amount of the fixed monthly installments required to be paid
hereunder pursuant to Paragraph 3(b) above shall thereafter be adjusted to an
amount which would have been effect had the original principal amount of the
Loan been equal to (i) minus (ii), where (i) is the fact amount of this
Promissory Note and (ii) is the aggregate of all principal repayments, if any,
previously made under the circumstances specified in this subparagraph plus the
amount of the principal repayment then being made. No principal amount repaid
may be reborrowed.
(e) Premium Payable on Default. If the maturity date of this
Promissory Note is accelerated following an uncured default hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents and a repayment under this Promissory Note is made
thereafter, then, if such repayment takes place prior to that date which is 90
days prior to the Due Date, Holder shall be entitled to receive the Early
Repayment Premium calculated as of the date of such repayment and based on the
entire amount repaid. Furthermore, if such repayment takes place prior to the
Opening Date for Permissible Early Repayment, and results from non-payment of
any amounts due
5
6
under the Loan Documents or from waste caused by or not repaired by Maker, the
same shall be presumed to be and conclusively deemed to constitute a deliberate
evasion of the provisions of this Paragraph 5 and shall constitute an
unpermitted early repayment entitling Holder to, inaddition to all of the other
Indebtedness, the Early Repayment Premium plus an additional premium in an
amount equal to 5% of the principal amount repaid.
6. Application of Payments. For so long as Maker is not in default
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure
period, all payments received by Holder on this Promissory Note shall be applied
as follows, regardless of any designation elsewhere herein of such payments as
principal, interest or other charges: first, to the repayment of sums advanced
by Holder pursuant to the terms of any of the Loan Documents for the payment of
taxes, assessments, insurance premiums or other charges against the Property
(together with interest thereon from the date of advance until the date repaid
at the Default Interest Rate), then to the payment of any outstanding late
charges, then to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest which is then due
and payable, and finally, to reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance and
any remaining Indebtedness. From and after a default hereunder or under any of
the other Loan Documents which has not been cured within any applicable cure
period, all payments received by Holder on this Promissory Note shall be applied
by Holder to the Indebtedness in such order as Holder shall determine in its
sole subjective discretion.
7. Default. Time is of the essence hereof. The occurrence of any of the
following events shall be a default hereunder and, if such default is not cured
within any applicable cure period specified herein, the payment of all principal
and interest due in accordance with the terms of this Promissory Note and all
other Indebtedness shall, at the option of Holder, be accelerated and such
principal, interest and other Indebtedness, together with any Early Repayment
Premium and any additional premium payable pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 5
hereof, shall be immediately due and payable without notice or demand, and
Holder shall have the option to foreclose or to require foreclosure of any or
all liens securing the payment hereof and/or to exercise any other rights and
remedies available to Holder hereunder or under the other Loan Documents:
(a) Failure to make any payment hereunder in full when due,
including, without limitation, failure to pay in full the Indebtedness
on the Due Date.
(b) Breach or violation by Maker of any other agreement or
covenant contained herein. Maker shall have 15 days after receipt of a
written notice from Holder specifying a default under this subparagraph
(b) within which to cure such default. If, however, such default is of
a nature that it cannot be cured within such 15- day period, Maker
shall have a reasonable period of time (not to exceed in any event 90
days after receipt of such notice from Holder) within which to cure
such default on the condition that Maker shall, immediately upon
receipt of such notice from Holder, commence diligent good faith
efforts to cure such default and demonstrate continuous
6
7
diligent good faith efforts throughout such cure period to cure such
default in a manner satisfactory to Holder.
(c) Breach or violation of any covenant or agreement set forth
in any of the other Loan Documents or any other default thereunder
(unless such default is cured within any applicable cure period set
forth in the applicable Loan Document).
Any default hereunder which has not been cured within any applicable cure period
shall be a default under each of the other Loan Documents.

business or commercial purposes and that the proceeds thereof will not be used
primarily for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

Promissory Note is secured by the Deed of Trust and the other security documents
which are a part of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents contain, among other
things, a description of the properties encumbered and pledged as security for
payment of this Promissory Note, the nature and extent thereof and the rights of
Holder and Maker with respect thereto. In particular, Section 1.11 of the Deed
of Trust contains terms and provisions placing limitations and restrictions on
the sale, conveyance, disposition, alienation, hypothecation, leasing,
assignment, pledging, mortgaging, granting of security interests in and other

or in any of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be
pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Holder,
and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of

provision of this Promissory Note by Xxxxxx, such waiver or release to be
effected only through a written document executed by Xxxxxx and then only to the
extent specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any
one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or
release of any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event.
Acceptance by Holder of any payment after the due date thereof shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any default with respect to such payment or an
extension of the due date of any such payment or the due date of any other
payment. Furthermore, acceptance by Holder of any payment in an amount less than
the amount then due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be an

application of such phrase to their actions): (A) rents, issues,
profits or other income with respect to the Loan Collateral that are
received by Maker or the general partner in Maker or any other person
or entity after the occurrence of a default under the Loan Documents
(unless such default is subsequently cured as allowed in the Loan

14. Principal Balance of this Promissory Note. Notwithstanding the
amount set forth on the face of this Promissory Note as the stated principal
amount, it is the intention of Maker and Holder that the principal balance of
this Promissory Note be increased by amounts, if any, which are added thereto
pursuant to the terms hereof and/or the terms of the Deed of Trust or the other
Loan Documents and, even though such additions may increase the principal
balance of this Promissory Note to an amount greater than said face amount, the
entire amount of the principal balance, including such additions, is intended to
be evidenced by this Promissory Note and secured by the Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents.

date. With respect to a payment in full of this Promissory Note, the same shall
be made by cash payment or wire transfer. With respect to any other payments
made hereunder, such payments may be made by cash, wire transfer or check, at
Maker's option. Any payments made by check shall be provisionally credited upon

charges shall run from the appropriate due date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Holder may, at its option, at any time require that all payments be made
hereunder by wire transfer to an account designated by Xxxxxx.
(b) Each maker, endorser, cosigner and guarantor of this
Promissory Note hereby expressly grants to Holder the right to release or to
agree not to sue any other person, or to suspend the right to enforce this
Promissory Note against such other person or to otherwise discharge such person;
and each such maker, endorser, cosigner and guarantor hereby agrees that the
exercise of such rights by Holder shall have no effect on the liability of any
other person, primarily or secondarily liable hereunder. Each maker, endorser,
cosigner and guarantor of this Promissory note hereby waives demand for payment,
presentment for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice
of nonpayment, notice of intent to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration
of maturity, diligence in taking any action to collect sums owing hereunder and
all duty or obligation of Holder to effect, protect, perfect, retain or enforce
any security for the payment of this Promissory Note or to proceed against any
collateral before otherwise enforcing this Promissory Note.
(c) Maker agrees to reimburse Holder for all costs, including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees, incurred from time to time to collect any
payment under this Promissory Note. Maker agrees that Xxxxxx may from time to
time extend the maturity date of this Promissory Note or the time any payment is

11
12
(d) If any provision hereof or of any other Loan Document is,
for any reason and to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, then neither the

of the provision to other persons, entities or circumstances shall be affected
thereby, but instead shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by
law.
(e) Each payment of principal and interest hereunder shall be
paid when due without deduction or setoff of any kind or nature or for any costs

the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter and vica versa. The word
"person" as used herein shall include any individual, company, firm,
association, partnership, corporation, trust or other legal entity of any kind
whatsoever.
(j) In the event that at any time any payment received by
Holder hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under
the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be
otherwise due to any party other than Holder, then, in any such event, the
obligations to make such payment shall survive any cancellation of this
Promissory Note and/or return thereof to Maker, shall not be discharged or
satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Promissory
Note, but shall remain a valid and binding obligations enforceable in accordance
with the terms and provisions hereof, and the amount of such payment shall bear
interest at the Default Interest Rate from the date of such final order under
repaid hereunder.
(k) The provisions of this Promissory Note and of all
agreements between Maker and Holder, whether nor existing or hereafter arising
and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no
contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of
the maturity of this Promissory Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid or
agreed to be paid ("Interest") to Holder for the use, forebearance or retention
of the money to be loaned hereunder exceed the maximum amount permissible under
applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, Interest paid to Holder
in connection with the
12
13
performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between
Maker and Holder shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision
shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law, then ispo facto
the Interest payable in connection with such obligation to be performed or
fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit and if, from any circumstance
whatsoever, Holder should ever receive as Interest an amount which would exceed
the highest lawful rate, the amount which would be excessive Interest shall be
applied to the reduction of the principal balance owing hereunder in the inverse
order of its maturity (whether or not then due) or at the option of Holder be
paid over the Maker, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest (including
any amounts or payments deemed to be Interest) paid or agreed to be paid to
Holder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the
principal balance of this Promissory Note (including the period of any renewal
or extension hereof) so that the Interest hereon for such full period will not
exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph will
control all agreements between Maker and Holder.

The term "Early Repayment Premium" shall mean the greater of (a) an
amount equal to one percent of the entire outstanding principal balance of the
Note on the date repaid, or (b) an amount (the "Loss of Yield Amount"), if any,
calculated as provided below. As used in the following calculation, the term
"Treasury Yield" shall mean the sum of (i) the "ask" yield for the then most
recently issued United States Treasury obligations (excluding those commonly
known as "flower bonds") with a maturity date (month and year) as close as
possible to the Due Date (month and year) using the average of the yield rates
as most recently published in the Western Edition of the Wall Street Journal or,
if the Western Edition of the Wall Street Journal no longer publishes such
information, in another authoritative source selected by Xxxxxx, minus (ii) the
Basis Point Adjustment as computed in accordance with Exhibit A-1 attached
hereto. The term "Discount Rate" shall mean a rate which is equivalent to
one-twelfth of the Treasury Yield.
The "Loss of Yield Amount" shall be the result of, if a positive
number, (x) minus (y) where "(x)" is the aggregate amount of all scheduled
payments of principal and interest on this Promissory Note at the Interest Rate
from the date of such repayment to and including the Due Date, with reach such
payment discounted to present value on a monthly basis using a discount rate
equal to the Discount Rate, and "(y)" is the Outstanding Principal Balance as of
the early repayment date.
