 3. Secured Obligation. 
 (a) Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants and pledges to Lender a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral, to secure prompt repayment of
any and all Obligations and to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under this Note, the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any termination of this Note or any other Loan Document, or
Lender’s commitments hereunder, Lender’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding. 
 (b) Perfection of Security Interest. Borrower authorizes Lender to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either specifically describe the Collateral or describe the
Collateral as all assets of Borrower of the kind pledged hereunder, and (ii) contain any other information required by the Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment,
including whether Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to Borrower, if applicable. Any such financing statements may be filed at any time in any jurisdiction whether or not Revised
Article 9 of the Code is then in effect in that jurisdiction. Borrower shall from time to time endorse and deliver to Lender, at the request of Lender, all negotiable collateral and other documents that Lender may reasonably request, in form
satisfactory to Lender, to perfect and continue perfected Lender’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under this Note. Borrower shall have possession of the Collateral,
except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where Lender chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral is in possession of a third party bailee,
Borrower shall take such steps as Lender reasonably requests for Lender to (i) obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Lender,
(ii) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Revised Article 9 of the
Code) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Borrower will not create or obtain any chattel paper without placing a legend on the
chattel paper acceptable to Lender indicating that Lender has a security interest in the chattel paper. Borrower from time to time may deposit with Lender specific cash collateral to secure specific Obligations; Borrower authorizes Lender to hold
such specific cash collateral in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such cash collateral for so long as the specific Obligations are outstanding.

  

 3 








 (c) Secured Obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Note is secured by certain other
separate agreements and instruments (collectively, the “Security Instruments”), including without limitation the Loan Agreement. The Security Instruments encumber virtually all assets of Borrower, including without limitation the
Collateral. This Note may also be secured by other collateral in addition to the Collateral and the Security Instruments. Some or all of the Loan Documents, including without limitation this Note and the Loan Agreement, contain provisions for the
acceleration of the maturity of this Note. 
 4. Interest Rate. 
 (a) Non-Default Interest Rate. 
 (i)
The unpaid principal balance of this Note from day to day outstanding, which is not past due, shall bear interest equal to the following rates for the following periods: 
 (1) from May 1, 2007, through May 31, 2010 (the “Initial Period”), (A) interest at a rate equal to nine percent (9%) paid in cash per annum (the “Initial Cash
Interest”), and (B) interest paid-in-kind at a rate equal to three percent (3%) per annum (the “PIK Interest,” and collectively with the Initial Cash Interest, the “Initial Interest Rate”); and

 (2) from June 1, 2010, through May 1, 2012 (the “Ordinary Period”), interest at a rate equal to twelve percent
(12%) paid in cash per annum (the “Ordinary Cash Interest”). 
 (ii) Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year and actual days elapsed. 
 (iii) The PIK Interest shall be added to the principal balance of the obligations hereunder
monthly, on the first Business Day of each month, and thereafter shall bear interest at the then applicable rate. 
 (iv) Payment of
interest hereunder shall be paid as set forth in Section 6 herein. 
 (b) Default Interest Rate. 
 (i) From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all Obligations (including all unpaid principal, accrued interest and any other sums
outstanding hereunder), at the option of Lender, shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) equal to the Interest Rate plus five percent (5%). Compounding of interest may result if outstanding
interest hereunder accrues interest at the Default Rate. 
 (ii) From and after maturity of this Note (whether upon scheduled maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), all Obligations, including all unpaid principal, accrued interest and any other sums outstanding hereunder, shall bear interest until paid in full at the Default Rate. Compounding of interest may result if outstanding
interest hereunder accrues interest at the Default Rate. 
  

 4 








 5. Maturity Date. The “Maturity Date” hereunder shall be the earlier date of
either (a) May 1, 2012, or (b) the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (c) the termination or maturity with respect to any other Loan Document. 
 6. Payments. 
 (a) Payment.
Borrower shall pay to the order of Lender or its successors and assigns or its order, all principal, accrued interest and any other amounts due under this Note as follows: 
 1) Minimum Payments. Borrower shall make the following payments (subject to the Default Rate) with respect to this Note on the following dates and
in the following amounts: 
  

			
	 DATE
	 	 INSTALLMENT AMOUNT

	Beginning on May 1, 2007, on the first day of each month thereafter through and including May 1, 2010.	 	Payments equal to one-month Initial Cash Interest.
		
	Beginning on June 1, 2010, on the first day of each month thereafter through and including May 1, 2012.	 	Payments equal to (i) an installment of the outstanding principal (which shall include Initial PIK Interest that had accrued and was added to principal during the Initial Period) to be paid in
24 equal installments, (ii) Ordinary Cash Interest accruing for the prior month.
		
	On the Maturity Date.	 	All outstanding principal, interest and other amounts due and payable under this Note.

 2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and
unpaid interest under this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of (y) the Maturity Date and (z) the date of termination of this Note, whether by its terms, by prepayment, or by acceleration. All amounts outstanding under this Note
shall constitute “Obligations” under the Loan Agreement. Borrower may make voluntary prepayments of principal with respect to this Note from time to time. Any such voluntary prepayments shall be applied to installments due thereunder in
the inverse order of their maturity. Amounts repaid under this Note may not be reborrowed. Any voluntary prepayment of this Note made pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the total amount of
principal as of the date of prepayment. 
  

 5 








 3) Borrower may elect to pay the Initial PIK Interest in cash rather than by having it added to the
principal balance of the obligations hereunder (inclusive of any Initial PIK Interest theretofore so added). 
 (b) Terms of Payments.
All payments shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid fees hereunder, then accrued and unpaid interest hereunder, then to principal, then to any other Obligation owed by Borrower to Lender, unless otherwise provided herein. All amounts payable
under this Note are payable in lawful money of the United States during normal business hours, local time in the city in which this Note is payable, on a Banking Day. Checks constitute payment only when Lender receives actual funds. 
 (c) Prepayment. Borrower may prepay the principal balance of this Note, in full at any time or in part from time to time, without fee, premium or
penalty. 
 7. Late Charge. If Lender has not received the full amount of any monthly payment, other than the final principal payment,
by the end of ten (10) days after the date it is due, Borrower shall pay a late charge to Lender in the amount of five percent (5%) of the overdue payment. Borrower shall pay a late charge only once on any particular late payment.

 8. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one of the following shall be a default under this Note and constitute an
“Event of Default”: 
 (a) Borrower fails to perform any obligation under this Note or the Loan Agreement to pay principal,
interest, or any other amount due hereunder; or 
 (b) Borrower fails to perform any other obligation under any Loan Document other than as
provided in Section 8(a) herein, and does not cure that failure within 5 days after written notice from Lender; or 
 (c) An
“Event of Default” (as defined in that document) occurs under any of the Loan Documents; or 
 (d) Borrower or any Guarantor
becomes the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding. 
 9. Consequences Upon Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default, any obligation of
Lender to make advances under this Note shall terminate, and at Lender’s option, exercisable in its sole discretion, all sums of principal, interest, and amounts due under this Note shall become immediately due and payable without notice of
default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or other notices or demands of any kind or character. An Even of Default hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. 
 10. Fees. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including (without limitation) attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in
connection with this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Loan Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation all such costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution,
amendment, 

  

 6 








 
administration, performance, collection and enforcement of the Loan Documents and all such documents and agreements, title insurance, and the creation,
perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure or enforcement of the Loan Documents. All unpaid fees and costs incurred hereunder shall constitute principal hereunder when incurred. 
 11. Reporting Requirements. Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Lender, in form and detail acceptable to the Lender, such
financial information as may be requested by Lender from time to time. 
 12. Arbitration; Insolvency Proceedings. If any lawsuit,
reference or arbitration is commenced which arises out of or relates to this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Loan, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from each other party such sums as the court, referee or
arbitrator may adjudge to be reasonable attorneys’ fees in the action, reference or arbitration, in addition to costs and expenses otherwise allowed by law. In all other situations, including any matter arising out of or relating to any
Insolvency Proceeding, Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred in enforcing or protecting Lender’s rights or interests. From the time(s) incurred until paid in full to
Lender, all such sums shall bear interest at the Default Rate. 
 13. Governing Law. This Note is governed by the laws of the State of
New York, without regard to the choice of law rules of that State. 
 14. Additional or Substitute Security. Lender may accept
additional or substitute security for this Note, or release any security or any party liable for this Note, or extend or renew this Note, all without notice to Borrower or any Guarantor and without affecting the liability of Borrower or any
Guarantor. 
 15. No Waiver by Lender. If Lender delays in exercising or fails to exercise any of its rights under this Note, that
delay or failure shall not constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights, or of any breach, default or failure of condition of or under this Note. No waiver by Lender of any of its rights, or of any such breach, default or failure of condition
shall be effective, unless the waiver is expressly stated in a writing signed by Lender. All of Lender’s remedies in connection with this Note or under applicable law shall be cumulative, and Lender’s exercise of any one or more of those
remedies shall not constitute an election of remedies. 
 16. Successors and Assigns: Transfer by Lender. This Note inures to and
binds the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Borrower and Lender; provided, however, Borrower may not assign this Note or any Loan funds, or assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations, without the prior written consent
of Lender in each instance. Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may, at any time, sell, transfer, or assign this Note, any other Loan Document, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue
mortgage or debt pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement. Lender is hereby authorized to disseminate any information it now has or hereafter obtains
pertaining to the Loan, including any security for this Note and credit or other information on Borrower, any of its principals and any guarantor of this Note, to any actual or prospective assignee or participant with respect to the Loan, to any of


  

 7 








 
Lender’s affiliates, to any regulatory body having jurisdiction over Lender, and to any other parties as necessary or appropriate in Lender’s
reasonable judgment. If Lender so requests, Borrower shall sign and deliver a new note to be issued in exchange for this Note. 
 17.
Joint and Several Liability. If more than one person or entity are signing this Note as Borrower or is otherwise obligated, their obligations under this Note shall be joint and several. If Borrower is a partnership, such Borrower and each of
such Borrower’s constituent general partners shall be jointly and severally liable to Lender for Borrower’s obligations under this Note. 
 18. Authorization. Borrower has caused this Note to be executed by each of their officers, who were duly authorized and directed to do so by a resolution of its Board of Directors or manager(s) and/or member(s) (as the case may be)
which was duly passed and adopted by the requisite number of members of the Board of Directors or manager(s) and/or member(s) (as the case may be) at a meeting which was duly called, noticed, and held, or as permitted in the by laws or operative
documents. 
 19. Loan Funding. Any and all Loan funds shall be disbursed by Lender in its sole direction upon terms and conditions
acceptable to Lender. 
 20. Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent not prohibited by law, Borrower knowingly and intentionally waive the
right, which the party may have, to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation arising from the Loan, or any other agreement executed in conjunction with the Note, the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents. Borrower and Lender each acknowledge
that this section has either been brought to the attention of each party’s legal counsel or that each party had the opportunity to do so. 
 21. Venue. Borrower consents and agrees that the state or federal courts located in New York, New York, or such other jurisdiction selected by Lender in its discretion shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or
disputes between pertaining to this Note or any other Loan Document or to any matter arising out of or related to this Note or any of the other Loan Documents; provided that nothing in this Note shall be deemed or operate to preclude Lender from
bringing a suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction with respect the Obligations, the collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Lender. Borrower expressly
submits and consent in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court.
