for the first year of the loan, and thereafter, the interestwill be reset at a rate negotiated between the Borrower and the Lender, and absent any agreement, interest will accrue at the adjustable rate equal to the Lender's prime rate of interest

_____%

percentage points above the rate in effect as the rate announced by Lender as its prime rate of interest on the first day of the calendar month containing such day.

percentage points above LIBOR for a ___ one month interest period, ___ two month interest period, ___ three month interest period or ___ six month interest period ("LIBOR Rate").

See Rider C attached hereto and made apart of this Note.



If no rate is specified, interest shall accrue at the Maximum Legal Rate defined below, fixed as of the date of disbursement.  Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) months with the actual number of days of each month (28, 29, 30 or 31).



Maximum Legal Rate. It is the intent of the Lender and Borrower that in no event shall such interest be payable at a rata in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the "Maximum Legal Rate"). Solely to the extent necessary to prevent interest under this Note from exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate, any amount that would be treated as excessive under a final judicial interpretation of applicable law shall be deemed to have been a mistake and automatically canceled and if received by the Lender shall be refunded to Borrower.

Default Rate. After maturity (whether due to the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise), the interest rate on the unpaid Principal Sum shall be increased to three (3) percentage points per year above the otherwise applicable rate per year (the "Default Rate"). Any judgment entered hereon or otherwise in connection with any suit to collect amounts due hereunder shall bear interest at such Default Rate. No failure to impose or delay in imposing the Default Rate shall be construed as a waiver by the Lender of its right to collect, and Borrower's obligation to pay, interest at the Default Rate effective as of the date of maturity (whether due to the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise).



Repayment of Principal and Interest. Borrower shall pay the Principal Sum and interest owing pursuant to this Note to the Lender in installments as follows:



1.

one installment of interest payable on the date of this Note equal in amount to the interest which will accrue during the period beginning on the date of this Note and ending on the last calendar day of the same month and year;



2.

59___consecutive level monthly installments consisting of both principal and interest, each installment being in the amount of $ 698.47 _shall become due and payable on the first day of each month commencing on the First Payment Date. If Borrower elects a variable interest rate and there is a change in such interest rate, the remaining consecutive level monthly installments consisting of both principal and interest may be adjusted to reflect such change in the interest rate and absent manifest error, the Lender's determination of the amount of such level monthly installment of principal and interest shall be conclusive; and



3.

One final installment of principal, interest, premiums and Expenses to become due on the Maturity Date and to be equal to the total of the outstanding Principal Sum and all accrued and unpaid interest, Expenses, premiums and all other amounts owing pursuant to this Note and the Mortgage and remaining unpaid. If the Period of Amortization is longer than the period of time from the date of this Note to the Maturity Date, there will be a balloon payment of principal due on the Maturity Date. Absent manifest error, the Lender's determination of the final installment shall be conclusive.



Late Charge. If Borrower fails to pay the whole or any installment of principal or interest owing pursuant to this Note or Escrow payment owing pursuant to the Mortgage within ten (10) days of its due date, Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lender a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of the delinquent amount.



Application of Payments. Payment made with respect to this Note may be applied in any order in the sole discretion of the Lender, but prior to maturity (whether due to the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise), each payment pursuant to this Note shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest, next to Principal, next to the Escrow, next to late charges, and finally to Expenses.



Prepayment. Borrower shall have the option of paying the Principal Sum to the Lender in advance of the Maturity Date, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time upon written notice received by the Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to making such payment; provided, however, that together with such prepayment, Borrower shall pay to the Lender a premium as set forth on Rider A, if any, attached to and made a part of this Note. Upon making any prepayment of the Principal Sum in whole, Borrower shall pay to the Lender all interest and Expenses owing pursuant to this Note and the Mortgage and remaining unpaid. Any partial payment of the Principal Sum shall be applied in inverse order of maturity. In the event the maturity of this Note is accelerated, any tender of payment of the amount necessary to satisfy the entire indebtedness made after maturity shall be expressly deemed a voluntary prepayment. In such a case, to the extent permitted by law, the Lender shall be entitled to the amount necessary to satisfy the entire indebtedness, plus the appropriate prepayment premium calculated in accordance with Rider A. No prepayment premium shall apply if the principal amount of this Note is $50,000 or less and is secured by a mortgage on Pennsylvania real property containing two or less residential units or on which two or fewer residential units are to be built (including obligations on a residential condominium unit).



Business Purpose. Borrower warrants that the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is for a business purpose.



Events of Default; Acceleration. This Note is secured by the Mortgage and is entitled to the benefits thereof. An Event of Default under the Mortgage is an Event of Default under this Note. The maturity of this Note shall be accelerated and all amounts under this Note shall become immediately due and payable without any notice, demand, presentment or protest of any kind (each of which is waived by Borrower) (a) automatically, if Borrower or Mortgagor commences any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, if voluntary, and upon the lapse of 45 days without dismissal if involuntary-, (b) at the sale option of the Lender, upon or at any time or from time to time after the occurrence or existence of an Event of Default and the passage of any applicable grace period; and (c) upon the Maturity Date. After maturity (whether due to the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise), interest on the outstanding Principal Sum shall continue to accrue and be payable at the applicable rate and the Lender's acceptance of any partial payment shall not affect that all amounts under this Note are due and payable in full.



Expenses. Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand each cost and expense (including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements ofcounsel to the Lender, whether internal or external and whether retained for advice, litigation or any other purpose) incurred by the Lender or its agents either directly or indirectly in connection with this Note including, without limitation, endeavoring to (1) collect any amount owing pursuant to this Note or negotiate or document a workout or restructuring; (2) enforce or realize upon any guaranty, endorsement or other assurance, any collateral or other security, or any subordination, directly or indirectly securing or otherwise directly or indirectly applicable in any such amount; or (3) preserve or exercise any right or remedy of the Lender pursuant to this Note (the "Expenses').

Such set-off shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately at the time the Lender or such affiliate elect to do so.
