3. WARRANTIES.

Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender (which representations and warranties will survive the delivery of the Notes and the making of the Loans) that:

3.1. Existence and Legal Authority. Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Michigan and has all requisite power and authority to own its property and to carry on its business as now being conducted, to enter into the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and to carry out the provisions and conditions of such Loan Documents to which it is a party. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction where the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect.

3.2. Due Execution and Delivery. Borrower has full power, authority and legal right to incur the obligations provided for in, and to execute and deliver and to perform and observe the terms and provisions of, the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and each of them has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and has been authorized by all required action, and Borrower has obtained all requisite consents to the transactions contemplated thereby under any instrument to which it is a party, and the Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

3.3. No Breach of Other Instruments. Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, nor the compliance by Borrower with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will conflict with or result in a breach of the Articles of Incorporation or other governing documents of Borrower, or any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement or instrument or any charter or other corporate restriction or law, regulation, rule or order of any governmental body or agency to which Borrower is now a party or is subject, or imposition of a lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.

3.4. Government Authorization. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by Borrower of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

3.5. Ownership of Property. Except for Permitted Encumbrances or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, Borrower has and will have good and marketable fee title to, or valid leasehold interests in, its real properties in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction where located, and good and marketable title to substantially all its other property and assets, subject, however, in the case of real property, to title defects and restrictions which do not materially interfere with the operations conducted thereon by Borrower. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, the real property and all other property and assets of the Borrower are free from any liens or encumbrance securing Indebtedness and from any other liens, encumbrances, charges or security interests of any kind. Each lease, if any, to which Borrower is a party is in full force and effect, and no material default on the part of Borrower or, to its knowledge, any other party thereto exists.

3.6. Absence of Defaults, etc. The Borrower is not (i) in material default under any indenture or contract or agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) in violation of its articles of incorporation or bylaws, or any other governing document, (iii) in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, or (iv) in default under any order or license of any federal or state governmental department. There exists no condition, event or act which constitutes, or after notice or lapse of time or both would constitute, an Event of Default.

3.7. Indebtedness of Borrower. Borrower does not have outstanding on the date hereof, any Indebtedness for borrowed money, except for such Indebtedness identified in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.8 hereof.

3.8. Financial Condition. The Borrower has furnished to the Lender financial statements which, in the opinion of Borrower, fairly and accurately reflect the financial condition for the operations of Borrower, and there has been no material adverse change in the Borrower’s financial prospects since the date of such statements which would require revision of the same.

3.9. No Adverse Change. Subsequent to the date of the financial statements referred to in Section 3.8 hereof, Borrower has not incurred or agreed to incur any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, and there has not been any material increase in the anticipated aggregate amount of debt of Borrower, or any Material Adverse Change in the business, properties, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower.

3.10. Taxes. Borrower has filed all tax returns which are to be filed and has paid, or has made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes which have or may become due pursuant to said returns or to assessments received by them; provided that Borrower shall not be required to pay such taxes, assessments or charges to the extent the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which Borrower is maintaining appropriate reserves. The provisions for taxes reflected in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.8 are believed adequate to cover any and all accrued and unpaid taxes for which Borrower is liable for the period ended on the date of such balance sheet and all prior periods. Borrower knows of no deficiency assessment or proposed deficiency assessment of taxes for which Borrower may be liable, except as may be otherwise disclosed in writing to the Lender prior to the date hereof.

3.11. Litigation. Prior to the date hereof, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the actual knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Borrower or its respective property in any court, or before or by any federal, state or municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or other instrumentality, domestic or foreign, except for actions, suits or proceedings of a character normally incident to the kind of business conducted by Borrower, none of which, either individually or in the aggregate, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

3.12. Environmental Matters. Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with all Environmental Laws and all applicable federal, state and local health and safety laws, regulations, ordinances or rules. Lender acknowledges that Borrower has disclosed to it that Borrower is a party to a certain Financial Assurance Affidavit and other documentation with respect to certain real property in Cleveland, Ohio owned by one of Borrower’s subsidiaries (the “BP Site”), and that the State of Ohio has issued a covenant not to xxx and other related documentation with respect to the BP Site.

3.13. Consolidated Financial Statements. For any period during which Borrower has any Subsidiaries, all financial statements submitted by the Borrower and all calculations hereunder based on same shall be consolidated or combined with such Subsidiaries, as the context required.

3.14. ERISA. No Reportable Event or Prohibited Transaction which could create a liability in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) or has caused a Material Adverse Change has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Plan of Borrower, and Borrower has not incurred an “accumulated funding deficiency” (as that term is defined by ERISA) since the effective date of ERISA, that is not reflected in Borrower’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

3.15. Solvency. The Borrower is not insolvent as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will Borrower be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to Lender. The Borrower is not engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by it shall constitute an unreasonably small capital, taking into consideration the obligations to Lender incurred hereunder. Borrower does not intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay them as they mature.

3.16. No Burdensome Restrictions. Borrower is not a party to any instrument or agreement or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which would cause a Material Adverse Change.

3.17. Federal Reserve Regulations; Use of Loan Proceeds. Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.

7.2. No Waiver. The remedies in this Section 7 are in addition to, not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which the Lender may be entitled. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power, or remedy will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. The remedies in this Agreement are in addition to, not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which the Lender may (subject to Section 7.1) be entitled. All Lender’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any other agreement, instrument or document shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1. Remedies; Waiver; Amendments. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, or consent to departure therefrom, is effective unless in writing and signed by the Lender. No such consent or waiver extends beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No amendment to this Agreement is effective unless in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Lender.

8.2. Expenses and Costs. The Borrower shall pay on demand all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the drafting (including without limitation the drafting of any amendments, modifications, revisions or waivers), administration or enforcement of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees (on a time and charges basis) and expenses (but excluding in-house counsel fees or charges for other in-house personnel), of Lender in connection with the preparation, negotiation and closing of the Loan Documents, the administration of the Loan Documents or the collection and disbursement of funds hereunder and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder.

8.3. Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Lender harmless against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses of any kind (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Lender shall be designated a party thereto) which may be incurred by the Lender relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of any Loan hereunder; provided, that the Lender shall have no right to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

8.4. Construction. The provisions of this Agreement and the respective rights and duties of Borrower and Lender hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Michigan law and any applicable federal laws. Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Michigan state or federal court sitting in Michigan, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any document related to the Obligations, and Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Michigan state or federal court. The Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient court. The several captions to different Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions hereof. Time is of the essence in the performance of the obligations under this Agreement. All grace periods in this Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall run concurrently.

8.5. Extension of Time. If any payment comes due on a day that is not a Business Day, Borrower may make the payment on the first Business Day following the payment date and pay the additional interest accrued to the date of payment.

8.6. Notices. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given (a) if hand delivered, when delivered; (b) if mailed by United States Certified Mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), three Business Days after mailing (c) if by Federal Express or other reliable overnight courier service, on the next Business Day after delivered to such courier service or (d) if by telecopier on the day of transmission so long as copy is sent on the same day by overnight courier as set forth below, in each case to the address or facsimile number set forth below or to such address or facsimile number as shall be specified by a party by written notice to the other:

8.7. Capital Adequacy. If Lender shall have reasonably determined, after the closing of the Loans, that the adoption of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender (or its lending office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital (or the capital of its holding company) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender (or its holding company) could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies or the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender (or its holding company) for such reduction. Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to Lender. A certificate of Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure on the part of Lender to demand compensation for any reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s rights to demand compensation for any reduction in return on capital in any subsequent period after written notice. The protection of this Section shall be available to Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, regulation or other condition that shall have been imposed. Lender shall give Borrower prompt written notice of any matter requiring Borrower to make payment to Lender under the provisions of this paragraph of which Lender has actual knowledge, and Borrower shall not be obligated or required to reimburse Lender for any increased costs relating to any period more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of such notice.

8.8. Survival of Agreements; Relationship. All agreements, representations, and warranties made in this Agreement will survive the making of the extension of credit hereunder, and will bind and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lender, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that no subsequent holder of the Notes shall by reason of acquiring that Note or Notes become obligated to make any Loan hereunder and no successor to or assignee of the Borrower may borrow hereunder without the Lender’s written assent. Prior to an Event of Default or any sale of substantially all of the assets of the Lender, the Lender may not transfer or assign this Agreement, and the Loans hereunder, without Borrower’s written consent. Upon any permitted assignment of this Loan to the assignee thereof, the assignee shall thereupon have all of the rights of the Lender; provided Lender shall remain liable for its obligations hereunder, whether or not such obligations are assumed by such assignee. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or the right to receive any disbursements hereunder or any interest herein. The relationship between the Borrower and the Lender with respect to this Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Document is and shall be solely that of debtor and creditor, respectively, and the Lender has no fiduciary obligation toward the Borrower with respect to any such document or the transactions contemplated thereby.

8.9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, or any action taken hereunder, or any application thereof, is for any reason held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or the Notes, each of which shall be construed and enforced without reference to such illegal or invalid portion and shall be deemed to be effective or taken in the manner and to the full extent permitted by law.

8.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Document executed in connection herewith integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral representations and negotiations and supersede, amend and restate prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof. In this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular number include the plural, and in the plural number include the singular.

8.11. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN LENDER AND BORROWER ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

8.12. Confidentiality. Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior written consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, a Lender Affiliate or to its auditors or counsel) any information with respect to the Borrower which is furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided that Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public or has been lawfully obtained by such Lender from any third party under no duty of confidentiality to Borrower, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to, or in respect to any inquiry by, any municipal, state or federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Lender, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation, ruling or other requirement of law applicable to Lender. To the extent not prohibited by law, Lender will provide Borrower with prior written notice of any disclosures made with respect to subsections (b), (c) and (d) above, provided that failure to do so shall not affect Borrower’s liabilities and obligations under this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower and the Lender have each caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers on the date first set forth above.

Promissory Note

Revolving Credit

$20,000,000.00 Signed October 28, 2010 but Effective as of October 25, 2010

UNIVERSAL TRUCKLOAD SERVICES, INC., a Michigan corporation with a place of business at 00000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 (“Borrower”) shall pay to the order of KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, with offices at 000 X. Xxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, and its successors and assigns (“Lender”), Twenty Million Dollars and No Cents ($20,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may have been advanced under this Note, on or before October 24, 2011, plus interest on the outstanding balance from this date until paid.

Advances. Lender will, upon request from Borrower, make advances to or for the account of Borrower up to but not exceeding an aggregate unpaid principal amount outstanding at any one time equal to $20,000,000.00. Each such advance will be in an amount greater than or equal to $25,000.00. Subject to the foregoing, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow up to the amount of this Note.

Interest. Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate minus 0.50% (the “Adjusted Prime Rate”). “Prime Rate” means the rate per annum from time to time established by the Lender as Lender’s Prime Rate, whether or not such rate is publicly announced; the Prime Rate may not be the lowest interest rate charged by the Lender for commercial or other extensions of credit. In the event of any change in the Prime Rate, the rate of interest applicable to Borrower’s loans evidenced hereby shall be adjusted to immediately correspond with each such change. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.

LIBOR Rate. Provided that no Event of Default (as defined below) exists, Borrower shall have the option (the “LIBOR Rate Option”) to elect from time to time, in the manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate as the interest rate for all or any portion of the advances which would otherwise bear interest at the Prime Rate.

1. For purposes hereof, the following LIBOR-related definitions apply:

“Adjusted LIBOR Rate” means for any LIBOR Interest Period, an interest rate per annum equal to the sum of (a) the rate obtained by dividing (x) the LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR Interest Period by (y) a percentage equal to one hundred percent (100%) minus the Reserve Percentage for such LIBOR Interest Period and (b) the LIBOR Margin.

“LIBOR Rate” means the rate per annum calculated by the Lender in good faith, which Lender determines with reference to the rate per annum (rounded upwards to the next higher whole multiple of 1/16^th if such rate is not such a multiple) at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by prime banks in the London interbank eurodollar market two LIBOR Business Days prior to the day on which such rate is calculated by the Lender, in an amount comparable to the amount of such advance and with a maturity equal to the applicable LIBOR Interest Period.

“LIBOR Business Day” means a day on which (a) banks are not required or authorized to close in Cleveland, Ohio, and (b) dealings are carried on in the London interbank eurodollar market.

“LIBOR Interest Period” means the period commencing on the date an advance bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate is made, continued, or converted and continuing either (i) if and when a one-day interest period is selected by Borrower, overnight, with successive periods commencing daily thereafter, or (ii) if and when a one-, two- or three-month interest period is selected by Borrower, for a period of one, two, or three months, as selected by Borrower as provided below, with successive periods commencing on the same day of the month in which the current period expires.

“LIBOR Margin” means 1.00% per annum.

“Reserve Percentage” means for any LIBOR Interest Period, that percentage which is specified three (3) business days before the first day of the such LIBOR Interest Period by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) or any other governmental or quasi-governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Lender for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including, but not limited to, any basic, supplemental, marginal, or emergency reserve requirement) for Lender with respect to liabilities or assets constituting or including (among other liabilities) “Eurocurrency liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) in an amount equal to that of the advances affected by such LIBOR Interest Period and with a maturity equal to the LIBOR Interest Period.

2. Borrower may exercise the LIBOR Rate Option by giving Lender irrevocable written notice of such exercise on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the proposed commencement of the relevant LIBOR Interest Period, which written notice shall specify: (i) the portion of the advances with respect to which Borrower is electing the LIBOR Rate Option, (ii) the LIBOR Business Day upon which the applicable LIBOR Interest Period is to commence and (iii) the duration of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period. Upon the expiration of the initial LIBOR Interest Period, Borrower may elect a new LIBOR Rate or the Adjusted Prime Rate. If Borrower fails to make an election, the advances will bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate involved for consecutive LIBOR Interest Periods of identical duration until an election is made. Lender shall be under no duty to notify Borrower that a LIBOR Interest Period is expiring. The LIBOR Rate Option may be exercised by Borrower only with respect to any portion of the advances equal to or in excess of $25,000. At no time may there be more than five (5) LIBOR Interest Periods in effect with respect to the advances. No LIBOR Interest Period may extend beyond the maturity date of the Note.

3. If, because of the introduction of or any change in, or because of any judicial, administrative, or other governmental interpretation of, any law or regulation, there shall be any increase in the cost to Lender of making, funding, maintaining, or allocating capital to any advance bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, including a change in Reserve Percentage, then Borrower shall, from time to time upon demand by Lender, pay to Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender for such increased cost. Lender shall give Borrower prompt written notice of any change in law of which Lender has actual knowledge and Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse Lender for any increased costs relating to any period more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of such notice.

4. If Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent demonstrable error) (i) that dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the portion of the advances for which Borrower has exercised the LIBOR Rate Option for the designated LIBOR Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London Interbank Market for deposits in dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining an Adjusted LIBOR Rate on such portion of the advances or of funding the same for such LIBOR Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London Interbank Market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, Lender shall so notify Borrower and all portions of the advances bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate until such time as the situations described herein are no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different LIBOR Interest Period.

5. If, because of the introduction of or any change in, or because of any judicial, administrative, or other governmental interpretation of, any law or regulation, it becomes unlawful for Lender to make, fund, or maintain any advance at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, then (a) Lender shall notify Borrower that Lender is no longer able to maintain the interest rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (b) the LIBOR Rate Option shall immediately terminate, (c) the interest rate for any portion of the advances for which the interest rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Prime Rate, and (d) Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of any Breakage Costs (defined below) incurred in connection with such conversion. Thereafter, Borrower shall not be entitled to exercise the Adjusted LIBOR Rate Option until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different term.

6. If Borrower repays any advance bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate prior to the end of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period, including without limitation a prepayment under paragraphs 4 and 5 immediately preceding, Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for the resulting loss or expense incurred by Lender, including without limitation any loss or expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating or reemploying deposits from third parties. A minimum amount of $200.00 will be due for each prepayment of a LIBOR advance, and if the actual reimbursement amount for any such advance exceeds $200.00, a statement as to the amount of such loss or expense, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Lender and submitted by Lender to the Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent demonstrable error in computation (“Breakage Costs”). Calculation of all amounts payable to Lender under this paragraph shall be made as though Lender shall have actually funded the relevant advance through deposits or other funds acquired from third parties for such purpose; provided, however, that Lender may fund any advance bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for purposes of calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. Lender will be entitled to receive the reimbursement provided for herein regardless of whether the prepayment is voluntary or involuntary (including demand or acceleration of the Note upon Borrower’s default).

Payments. Commencing November 1, 2010, and continuing on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter until this Note is paid in full, Borrower shall pay interest then accrued and unpaid on the outstanding balance (if any) of this Note. At maturity or the earlier acceleration of this Note, Borrower shall pay the entire principal balance, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and fees. Borrower shall make all payments on this Note to Lender at its address stated above, or at such other place as the holder of this Note may designate. Borrower may make prepayments of principal at any time, subject to Paragraph 6 under “LIBOR Rate” above, and subject to any requirements and/or provisions of any agreement(s) for any derivative or hedging product, including, without limitation, interest rate or equity swaps, futures, options, caps, floors, collars, or forwards now or hereafter executed by and between Borrower and Lender with respect to this Note. For any payment due under this Note not made within ten (10) days after its due date, excluding any payment of principal due upon the maturity of this Note, Borrower shall pay a late fee equal to the greater of four percent (4%) of the amount of the payment not made or $50.00.
