     This Consolidated, Amended and Restated Promissory Note (“Note”), secured by the Security Instrument (as defined herein below) is a consolidation of the outstanding principal balance of (i)
an existing promissory note dated September 25, 2008, in the original principal amount of $4,000,000.00 (“Original Note”) with an outstanding principal balance of $4,000,000.00, and (ii) an existing future advance mortgage note of
even date herewith in the original principal amount of $975,000.00 (“New Note”), secured by the Security Instrument.


	
ARTICLE 1: PAYMENT TERMS







A. Borrower will pay interest on the principal balance outstanding hereunder from time to time at an annual rate (the “Applicable Interest Rate”) which from the date of this Note through and including the last day of the
current month shall be six and one half percent (6.50%) per annum. The Applicable Interest Rate shall be adjusted on the first day of each month thereafter (the dates on which such adjustments occur shall be referred to herein as “Rate
Adjustment Dates”) to a rate equal to the sum of the London Interbank Offered Rate for deposits of U.S. dollars in the London Interbank eurodollar market for an interest period of three months (the “Three-Month LIBOR”) which is in
effect on the Business Day prior to the applicable Rate Adjustment Date as determined by Lender plus 450 basis points (4.50%), provided that the Applicable Interest Rate shall not be less than 6.50%. All interest under this Note shall be calculated
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a three hundred sixty (360) day year.


B. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the date hereof the amount of interest which will accrue at the 


	
- 1 -
















Applicable Interest Rate from the date hereof through and including the last day of the current month. Thereafter, monthly payments of interest only at the Applicable Interest Rate shall be due and payable commencing on the first
day of May, 2009, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter until and including the first day of April, 2010. Thereafter, monthly payments of principal and interest based on the outstanding principal balance, the Applicable Interest
Rate and the then remaining term of a thirty (30) year amortization schedule commencing as of May 1, 2010 shall be due and payable on the first day of May, 2010, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter until the first day of April,
2011. Thereafter, monthly payments of principal and interest based on the outstanding principal balance, the Applicable Interest Rate and the then remaining term of a twenty-five (25) year amortization schedule commencing as of May 1, 2011 shall be
due and payable on the first day of May, 2011, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter until the first day of April, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”). The outstanding principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest and all other sums due hereunder, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Borrower’s monthly payments will be applied in Lender’s sole discretion first to late charges, then to any other sums due under this Note or
the other Loan Documents (hereinafter defined), if any, then to the replenishment of escrows and reserves maintained by Lender under the Loan Documents, then to accrued but unpaid interest and then to the principal balance of this Note.


ARTICLE 2: DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION


The whole of the principal sum of this Note, together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts or obligations owed under this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents (the
“Obligations”) shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender (i) if any monthly payment due hereunder (other than the payment required at the Maturity Date) is not paid within ten (10) days of its due
date, (ii) if the Obligations is not paid in full on or before the Maturity Date, or (iii) upon the happening of any other default, after the expiration of any applicable notice and grace periods, under the terms of this Note, the Security
Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents (each, an “Event of Default”). All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent
and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein. In the event that it should become necessary to employ counsel to collect or enforce the Obligations or to protect or foreclose the security hereof, Borrower also agrees to pay
reasonable attorney's fees for the services of such counsel whether or not suit be brought.


	
ARTICLE 3: DEFAULT INTEREST







Borrower does hereby agree that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay interest on the entire unpaid principal sum at the rate of the lesser of (i) 5% above the
Applicable Interest Rate, or (ii) the maximum rate of interest which Borrower may by law pay (the “Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured or the
date upon which the Obligations are paid in full, as the case may be. This charge shall be added to the Obligations, and shall be deemed secured by the Security Instrument. This clause, however, shall not be construed


- 2 -











as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Obligations, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.


	
ARTICLE 4: PREPAYMENT; EXIT FEE







The principal balance of this Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part prior to April 1, 2010. On April 1, 2010, and at anytime thereafter, the principal balance of this Note may be prepaid, in whole but not in part, upon not
less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the date on which prepayment is to be made (the “Prepayment Date”) and upon payment of (a) interest accrued and unpaid on the principal balance of this Note to and
including the Prepayment Date, (b) all other sums then due under this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and (c) the Exit Fee specified hereinbelow.


If following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Obligations in whole or in part at any time prior to a sale of the Property either through foreclosure or
the exercise of other remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents, such tender by Borrower shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment under this Note in the amount tendered. If at the time of such tender prepayment of the principal
balance of this Note is not permitted by this Note, Borrower shall, in addition to the entire Obligations, also pay to Lender a sum equal to the interest which would have accrued on the principal balance of this Note at the Applicable Interest Rate
from the date of such tender to the first day of the period during which prepayment of the principal balance of this Note would have been permitted, together with an amount equal to the Exit Fee. If at the time of such tender prepayment of the
principal balance of this Note is permitted, Borrower shall, in addition to the entire Obligations, also pay to Lender the Exit Fee.


Upon the payment in full of the Obligations, whether at the Maturity Date or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to BB&T Real Estate Funding LLC (whether or not it is the Lender hereunder at such time) a $49,750.00 fee (the
“Exit Fee”), provided that the Exit Fee shall be reduced to $24,875.00 if the payment of the Obligations is accomplished with financing provided through Grandbridge Real Estate Capital LLC, BB&T Real Estate Funding LLC or an
affiliate thereof. In no event shall Grandbridge Real Estate Capital LLC, BB&T Real Estate Funding LLC or an affiliate thereof be obligated to provide any such financing.


	
ARTICLE 5: SECURITY

and Leases and Security Agreement executed by McClure and that certain Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Leases and Security Agreement executed by Pass (collectively, the "Security Instrument"), in favor of Lender and encumbering the Property

“Lender” and “Borrower” shall include their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators; however, nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to modify the provisions of the Security Instrument regarding
transfers of the Property by Borrower.


	
ARTICLE 6: SAVINGS CLAUSE







This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Obligations or any portion thereof at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal
liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the
Obligations or any portion thereof at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under this Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all
prior interest payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.


	
ARTICLE 7: LATE CHARGE







If any monthly payment payable under this Note is not paid within ten (10) days of the date on which it is due (other than the outstanding principal balance of this Note, when due by virtue of acceleration or on the Maturity
Date), Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to defray the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment
and such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, no such late charge will be charged or collected if the amount of such late charge when added to all interest constructed for, charged or
received by Lender hereunder would exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law. This clause, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Obligations, nor as a waiver of
any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.


	
ARTICLE 8: NO ORAL CHANGE







This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against
