$2,000.000.00

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the “Borrower”) promises to pay on demand to the order of Presidential Financial Corporation (the “Lender”) at the Lender's main office in Tucker, Georgia, or at such other place as Lender may designate, the principal amount of TWO MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00) or so much thereof as may from time to time be unpaid and outstanding, together with interest per annum thereon at the rate of one percent (1.00%) above “Wall Street Journal Prime”, with Wall Street Journal Prime being the prime rate of interest quoted in The Wall Street Journal from time to time (the “Interest Rate”).  If Wall Street Journal Prime becomes unavailable during the term of this Note, Lender may designate a substitute index.  The initial interest rate hereunder shall be six percent (6.00%).  The interest rate hereunder shall adjust on the published effective date of any change in Wall Street Journal Prime (or any substitute index).  All payments received will first be applied to interest and other charges due and owing to the Lender, and any remaining amount shall then be applied to principal.

This Demand Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”) is the  Demand Secured Promissory Note referred to in, is secured by the collateral in which Borrower granted a security interest under, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Loan and Security Agreement executed by Borrower in favor of Lender contemporaneously herewith (the “Loan Agreement”).  Lender, from time to time, shall make advances and re-advances as may be requested by Borrower and accept payments in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Note and the Loan Agreement.  The amount outstanding under this Note may vary from time to time by increases of up to the maximum principal amount stated above plus accrued interest, other charges and expenses, and decreases down to no outstanding principal or accrued interest, other charges and  expenses.

The interest rate on the principal indebtedness evidenced by this note is as stated above.  All other fees and charges (including without limitation the “Service Charge” defined below) paid in connection with this Note by Borrower to the Lender are payments for the services of originating, booking, servicing and maintaining the loan and other administrative services (including, but not limited to, periodic audits) as set forth in O.C.G.A. Section 7-4-2(A)(1) and do not constitute fees for the use of money.  Interest herein shall be computed and shall accrue on the fifteenth (15th) and last day of each month.

In addition to interest, Borrower will pay Lender a monthly service charge (“Service Charge”), which shall be earned by and due and payable to Lender as set forth on Schedule B of the Loan Agreement.  Any Service Charge for which Borrower is obligated shall be added to Borrower’s loan account immediately before any payment in full of all of Borrower’s obligations under this Note.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT, AND BORROWER INSTRUCTS LENDER THAT, IMMEDIATELY UPON ACCRUAL OF INTEREST AND OTHER CHARGES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN AND IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE SERVICE CHARGES), SUCH INTEREST AND OTHER CHARGES SHALL BE PAID BY ADVANCES HEREUNDER AND CHARGED TO BORROWER’S LOAN ACCOUNT WITH LENDER.  SUCH ADVANCES SHALL THEREAFTER BEAR INTEREST AND BE SUBJECT TO OTHER CHARGES UPON THE SAME TERMS AS OTHER ADVANCES HEREUNDER, AND SUCH ADVANCES ARE AGREED BY THE PARTIES TO BE PRINCIPAL PURSUANT TO O.C.G.A. SECTION 7-4-2(A)(3).  BORROWER SPECIFICALLY AGREES, BY EXECUTION OF THIS NOTE, TO THIS TREATMENT OF ALL ACCRUED BUT UNPAID INTEREST AND OTHER CHARGES UNDER THIS NOTE AND THE LOAN AGREEMENT.

           All computations of interest shall be calculated on a daily basis upon the unpaid balance with each day  representing  1/360th of a year.  Each advance under this Note shall be added to the outstanding balance under this Note and shall accrue interest commencing on the effective date of the transfer of the advance proceeds originated by Lender or the date of issue of the check or other payment instrument by Lender disbursing the advance proceeds, regardless of the date Borrower actually obtains access to the funds.  Upon and after Lender’s sending notice to Borrower that Borrower is in default under this Note or the Loan Agreement, in lieu of the above-described Interest Rate, the Borrower agrees to pay interest at a Default Interest Rate per annum rate equal to the Interest Rate plus two percent (2.00%), and interest under this Note shall thereafter be calculated using the Default Interest Rate.

It is the intention of Lender and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable laws.  Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would violate applicable law governing the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Loan Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with or as security for or guaranteeing this Note, the following will apply: the aggregate of all payments which constitute interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received by Lender under this Note or the Loan Agreement or under any other agreement entered into in connection with or as security for or guaranteeing this Note shall under no circumstances be in an amount or at a rate that would otherwise cause a violation of law or exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), and any excess shall be canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall, at the option of Lender, be credited by Lender on the principal amount of any indebtedness owed to Lender by Borrower or refunded by Lender to Borrower.

“Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum interest rate that at any time or from time to time may be lawfully contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received on amounts due to Lender, under laws applicable to Borrower or Lender with regard to this Note that are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws that then allow a higher maximum lawful rate than applicable laws now allow.

Any Event of Default by Borrower under the Loan Agreement shall constitute a default under this Note; provided, however, that neither this provision, any other provision of this Note, or any provision of any other agreement between Lender and Borrower is intended to or shall in any way limit, prejudice or otherwise affect the demand nature of this Note.  Lender shall have the absolute and unconditional right to demand payment of this Note in Lender’s discretion at any time, regardless of the existence of any provision hereof or of any compliance or noncompliance by Borrower with any such provision.  Time is of the essence of this Note.

Borrower hereby waives demand, presentment, notice, protest and notice of dishonor and diligence in collection or bringing suit and agrees that Lender may accept partial payment, or release or exchange security or collateral, without discharging or releasing any unreleased collateral or the obligations evidenced hereby.  Borrower further waives any and all rights of exemption, both as to personal and real property, under the constitution or laws of the United States, the State of Georgia, or any other state or jurisdiction.  Lender shall not be deemed to waive or have waived any of its rights hereunder unless such waiver be in writing and signed by Lender, and no failure, delay or omission by Lender in exercising any of its rights shall operate as a waiver of such rights.  A waiver by Lender in writing on one occasion shall not be construed as a consent to or a waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.

Borrower agrees to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Lender in collecting or attempting to collect this Note, whether by suit or otherwise.  Attorney’s fees relating to collection for which Borrower shall be responsible to reimburse Lender shall be equal to the lesser of: (a) actual fees and expenses or (b) fifteen percent (15%) of the principal and interest owed hereunder at the time of commencement of collection activities or the maximum amount permitted by law then in effect.
