		B.	Principal and Interest Payments. Lpon the expiration of the Deferral Period, Lender will notify Borrower (in a billing statement

5. AGREEMENTS.

 

Borrower understands and agrees as follows: 

		A.	The Loan is to be made under the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program.

		B.	Any loan made under the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program must be submitted to and approved by SBA. As there is limited funding
available under the Paycheck Protection Program, it is possible that not all applications submitted will be approved by SBA. Lender
is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program to help businesses experiencing the economic impacts from COVID 19 obtain funding
through the program. Lender anticipates high application volume and that there may be processing and system issues that impact
the intake, ordering and/or submission of loan requests to SBA. While Lender will use best efforts in this extraordinary time,
Lender cannot guarantee it will be able to submit Borrower's application before SBA funding is no longer available. Borrower understands
and agrees that Lender will not be liable to Borrower if Borrower fails to obtain the loan applied for. As such, Borrower releases
and waives claims concerning Lender's processes and systems for obtaining, ordering and submitting applications to SBA and further
releases and waives to the maximum extent not prohibited by law any claims against Lender for special, exemplary, punitive or consequential
damages relating to any application. This provision supersedes any prior communications, understandings or agreements on the issues
set forth herein.

		C.	Borrower must use all Loan proceeds only for purposes permitted under the Paycheck Protection
Program provided for in the CARES Act.

		D.	Forgiveness of the Loan is not automatic and Borrower must request it. Borrower is responsible
for understanding the requirements for obtaining forgiveness, and for complying with those requirements. Borrower is not relying
on Lender for its understanding of the requirements for forgiveness such as eligible expenditures, necessary records/documentation,
Borrower certifications, or possible reductions due to changes in number of employees or compensation. Rather Borrower will consult
the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program materials. Borrower understands that these requirements may change from time to time.

		E.	The application for this Loan is subject to review and Borrower may nol receive the Loan. The
Loan also remains subject to availability of funds under the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program, and to the SBA issuing an SBA loan
number.

		F.	If the terms and conditions of the SBAs Paycheck Protection Program are changed in any manner
that retroactively makes or requires changes to the terms of the Loan, whether by statute, regulation, interpretation, guidance
or judicial action, then the terms of this Note will be automatically amended to reflect :hose retroactively made or required changes.

 

6. DEFAULT.

 

Borrower is in default under this Note if Borrower:

		A.	Fails to make a payment when due under the Note or otherwise fails to comply with any provision
of this Note.

		B.	Does not disclose, or anyone acting on its behalf does not disclose, any material fact to Lender or SBA.

		C.	Makes, or anyone acting on its behalf makes, a materially false or misleading representation,
attestation or

certification to Lender or SBA in connection with Borrower's request for this Loan under the CARES Act.

		D.	Becomes the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, has a receiver or
liquidator

appointed for any part of its business or property, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

		E.	Reorganizes, merges, consolidates, or otherwise changes ownership or business structure without
Lender's prior written consent.

of its rights, Lender may:

		A.	Require immediate payment of all amounts owing under this Note.

		B.	Collect all amounts owing from Borrower.

		C.	File suit and obtain judgment.

 

8. LENDER'S GENERAL POWERS.

expenses to collect amounts due under this Note and enforce the terms of this Note. Among other things, the expenses may include
reasonable attorney's fees and costs. If Lender incurs such expenses, it may demand immediate repayment from Borrower or add the
expenses to the principal balance.

 

9. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE; WHEN FEDERAL LAW APPLIES.

 

When SBA is the holder, this Note shall be interpreted
and enforced under federal law, including SBA regulations. Lender or SBA may use state or local procedures for filing papers, recording
documents, giving notice, and other purposes. By using such procedures, SBA does not waive any federal immunity from state or local
control, penalty, tax, or liability. As to this Note, Borrower may not claim or assert against SBA any local or state law to deny
any obligation, defeat any claim of SBA, or preempt federal law.

 

If SBA is not the holder, this Note shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio where the main office of Lender is located. MATTERS REGARDING
INTEREST TO BE CHARGED BY LENDER AND THE EXPORTATION OF INTEREST SHALL BE GOVERNED BY FEDERAL LAW (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
12 U.S.C. SECTIONS 85 AND 1831 u) AND THE LAW OF THE STATE OF OHIO. The extension of credit that is the subject of this Note is
being made by Lender in Ohio.

 

10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

 

Under this Note, Borrower includes its successors,
and Lender includes its successors and assigns.

 

11. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

		B.	Borrower's execution of this Note has been duly authorized by all necessary actions of its governing
body. The person signing this Note is duly authorized to do so on behalf of Borrower.

		C.	This Note shall not be governed by any existing or future credit agreement or loan agreement with Lender. The liabilities guaranteed
pursuant to any existing or future guaranty in favor of Lender shall not include this Note. The liabilities secured by any existing
or future security instrument in favor of Lender shall not include this Note.

		D.	Lender
may exercise any of its rights separately or together, as many times and in any order it chooses. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing
any of its rights without giving up any of them.

		E.	Borrower may not use an oral statement of Lender or SBA to contradict or
alter the written terms of this Note.

		F.	If any part of this Note is unenforceable, all other parts remain in effect.

 

 

 

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

		G.	To the extent allowed by law, Borrower waives all demands and notices in connection with this
Note, including presentment, demand, protest, and notice of dishonor.

		H.	Borrower's liability under this Note will continue with respect to any amounts SBA may pay Lender
based on an SBA guarantee of this Note. Any agreement with Lender under which SBA may guarantee this Note does not create any third
party rights or benefits for Borrower and, if SBA pays Lender under such an agreement, SBA or Lender may then seek recovery from
Borrower of amounts paid by SBA.

		I.	Lender reserves the right to modify the Note Amount based on documentation received from Borrower.

 

12. ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES.

 

Borrower agrees that its electronic signature
shall have the same force and effect as an original signature and shall be deemed (i) to be "written" or "in writing"
or an "electronic record", (ii) to have been signed, and (iii) to constitute a record established and maintained in the
ordinary course of business and an original written record when printed from electronic files. Such paper copies or "printouts,"
if introduced as evidence in any judicial, arbitral, mediation or administrative proceeding, will be admissible as between the
parties to the same extent and under the same conditions as other original business records created and maintained in documentary
form.
