valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
to this Agreement agree as follows:

Lender shall make a loan to Borrower in the maximum principal amount of Nine Million and no/100
Dollars ($9,000,000.00 (the “Loan”), the proceeds of which shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower
on the Closing Date. Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory
note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Note”), with a maturity
date that is the date eighty-four (84) months after the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”).

automatically deduct from any deposit account of Borrower the amount of any payment due hereunder
or under the Note, including payments of interest, principal, and other sums. If the funds in the
account are insufficient to cover any payment due to Lender, Lender will not be obligated to
advance funds to cover the payment. Failure of Lender to charge any account or to give any notice
shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to pay all amounts due hereunder or under the Note.

Rate. All computations of interest shall be computed upon the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days.




(ii) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and while such Event of Default is
continuing, the Interest Rate on the Loan shall increase by five percent (5.0%) per annum
over the existing Interest Rate, compounded annually (the “Default Rate”).




(iii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event

other person, or (iii) pursue any other remedy whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the
application by any other person of the proceeds of any borrowing; (c) any defense resulting from
the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution or other
right or remedy of any person against any other person, or any security, whether resulting from an
election by Lender to foreclose upon security by non-judicial sale, or otherwise; (d) any setoff or
counterclaim of any other person or any defense which results from any disability or other defense
of any other person or the cessation or stay of enforcement from any cause whatsoever of the
liability of any other person (including, without limitation, the lack of validity or
enforceability of any Loan Document); (e) any right to exoneration of sureties which would
otherwise be applicable; (f) any right of subrogation or reimbursement and, if there are any
guarantors of the Obligations, any right of contribution, and right to enforce any remedy which
Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other person and any benefit of, and any right to
participate in, any security now or hereafter received by Lender; (g) all presentments, diligence,

Agreement or any other Loan Document, and agrees that the Obligations of each person shall not be

Document, which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any person. Each
person has the ability and assumes the responsibility for keeping informed of the financial
condition of any other person and of other circumstances affecting such nonpayment and
nonperformance risks. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, each person hereby
waives any right to be reimbursed by any other person for any payment of the Obligations made
directly or indirectly by either person or from any property of any person, whether arising by way
of any statutory, contractual or other right of subrogation, contribution, indemnification or
otherwise.



(q) Capital Adequacy. Borrower shall pay directly to Lender from time to time on
request such amounts as Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate Lender or its parent or
holding company for any costs which it determines are attributable to the maintenance by Lender or
its parent or holding company, pursuant the requirement of any Governmental Authority, of capital
in respect of maintaining its loans (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount
equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of Lender or its parent or holding
company to a level below that which such Lender or its parent or holding company could have
achieved but for such requirement of the Governmental Authority). Lender will notify Borrower that
it is entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section as promptly as practicable after it
determines to request such compensation. Such notice to Borrower will set forth in reasonable

compensation under this Section shall be paid by Borrower within thirty (30) days of the receipt by
Borrower of the notice described in this Section.

destroyed, lost or stolen, in substitution therefor, a new promissory note containing the same
terms and conditions as such Lost Note with a notation thereon of the unpaid principal and accrued
and unpaid interest. Borrower shall provide fifteen (15) days’ prior notice to Lender before
making any payments to third parties in connection with a Lost Note.



(s) Cross-Collateral. All Loans and advances by Lender to Borrower or an Affiliate
under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other loan agreement or loan documents between such
parties constitute one transaction, and all Indebtedness and the Obligations of Borrower or an
Affiliate to Lender under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other loan agreement or loan
documents, present and future, constitute one obligation secured by the Collateral of the Loan or
the Collateral of an Affiliate loan and security held and to be held by Lender hereunder and by virtue of all other
