By and through this Note, the maturity date for the payment of principal and accrued interest under the Prior Notes has been extended from June 30, 2013 to March 31, 2015.  It is the intention and agreement of the Maker and the Payee that this Note, given (i) to evidence the December 2012 Loan and (ii) in replacement of the Prior Notes and their principal amounts, accrued interest and other obligations thereunder, shall amend, restate and replace in their entirety the Prior Notes without constituting a novation, satisfaction, cancellation or extinguishment of the Prior Notes, but that henceforth the indebtedness (including principal and accrued interest) represented and evidenced by such Prior Notes and the obligations thereunder shall be due, payable and paid solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note, and not in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Prior Notes.







1.           Type of Payment.  Payment of both principal and interest shall be made in currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

3.           Interest on Overdue Payments.  From and after the date which is fifteen (15) days after the date upon which any payment of principal hereunder becomes due and payable, if the same is not timely paid, interest shall be payable on all sums outstanding hereunder at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum.







4.           Waiver.  Payee hereby waives any and all defaults that exist or may have existed from time to time under the Prior Notes, or any one of them, and waives the right to receive any special interest on overdue payments that may have become due or payable under the Prior Notes, and accepts the terms and conditions of this Note.

  (D)        This Note may not be amended or modified, nor shall any waiver of any provision hereof be effective, except by an instrument in writing executed by the Maker and accepted by Payee.







  (E)         In case suit shall be brought for the collection hereof, or if it is necessary to place the same in the hands of an attorney for collection, the Maker agrees to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs for making such collections.
