Security Agreement No. 21379-70000 dated as of June 25, 2010 (the “Master
Agreement”), by and between Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC (“Lender”)
and Stellaris LLC (“Co-Borrower”) and James Construction Group, L.L.C.
(“Co-Borrower”) (each a Co-Borrower herein, together referred to as
“Borrower”).  All capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall
have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Master Agreement. If

Agreement, the provisions contained in this Equipment Note shall prevail.
Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to insert the serial numbers and other

declare the Prepayment Amount to be immediately due and payable, and to proceed
at once to exercise each and every one of the remedies provided in the Master
Agreement or otherwise available at law or in equity.  All of Borrower’s
Obligations under this Equipment Note are absolute and unconditional, and shall
not be subject to any offset or deduction whatsoever.  Borrower waives any right
to assert, by way of counterclaim or affirmative defense in any action to
enforce Borrower’s Obligations hereunder, any claim whatsoever against Lender.

pay to the order of Lender, the principal amount of $10,000,000.00, together
with interest thereon as provided herein.  This Equipment Note shall be payable
by Borrower to Lender in 60 (sixty) consecutive monthly, installments of
principal and interest (the “Payments”) commencing on July 29, 2010 (the
“Initial Payment”) and continuing thereafter through and including June 29, 2015
(the “Maturity Date”) (collectively, the “Equipment Note Term”).  Each Payment
shall be in the amount provided below, and due and payable on the same day of
the month as the Initial Payment set forth above in each succeeding payment
period (each, a “Payment Date”) during Equipment Note Term.  All interest
hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of 12
months of 30 days each.  The final Payment due and payable on the Maturity Date
shall in any event be equal to the entire outstanding and unpaid principal
amount of this Equipment Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest,
charges and other amounts owing hereunder and under the Master Agreement.

 

(a)  Interest Rate.  Interest shall accrue on the entire principal amount of
this Equipment Note outstanding from time to time at a fixed rate of four and

the principal amount of this Equipment Note is paid in full, and shall be due
and payable on each Payment Date.

3.                                      Prepayment.  Borrower may prepay all
(but not less than all) of the outstanding principal balance of this Equipment
Note on a scheduled Payment Date occurring after one (1) year from the date
hereof upon 30 days prior written notice from Borrower to Lender, provided that
any such prepayment shall be made together with (a) all accrued interest and

prepaid during months thirteen (13) through twenty-four (24), one percent (1.0%)
of the amount prepaid during months twenty-five (25) through thirty-six (36),
and no prepayment penalty thereafter; provided, however, that, if any prepayment
of this Equipment Note is made following an Event of Default, by reason of
acceleration or otherwise, the prepayment charge shall be calculated based upon
the full original Equipment Note Term.
