Installments of interest shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date, "Interest Payment Date" shall mean (i) the lst day of each Interest Period in the case of a Quoted LIBO Rate advance; and (ii) in the case of a Daily LIBO Rate Advance, the first business day of each month. 2.2 For any partial month prior to the Stated Maturity Date, however, interest on the principal sum shall be calculated and charged at a variable rate per annum equal to the Prime Commercial Rate. 2.3 All interest payable in accordance with the Note shall be calculated on the unrepaid advances of the principal sum on the basis of the actual number of calendar days elapsed and a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. 2.4 Unless sooner paid or declared due and payable in accordance with Subsection 5.2 of this Note, the Indebtedness shall be due and payable in full on the Stated Maturity Date. 2.5 In the event that a regulatory requirement shall (a) affect the basis of taxation of payments to Huntington of any amounts payable by Borrower for Quoted LIBO Rate Advances or Daily LIBO Rate Advances under this Note (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of Huntington by the jurisdiction, or by any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction, in which Huntington has its principal office), or (b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Huntington, or (c) shall impose any other condition, requirement or charge with respect to this Note or the loan (including, without limitation, any capital adequacy requirement, any requirement which affects the manner in which Huntington allocates capital resources to its commitments or any similar requirement), and the result of any of the foregoing change in external conditions is to increase the actual cost to Huntington of making or maintaining the respective advance, to reduce the actual amount of any sum receivable by Huntington thereon, or to reduce the actual rate of return on the capital of Huntington from the actual cost, sum receivable or rate of return applicable on the date of this Note, then Borrower shall pay to Huntington, from time to time, upon written request of Huntington, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Huntington for such increased cost, reduced sum receivable or reduced rate of return (collectively, "Reduced Earnings") to the extent Huntington is not compensated therefor in the computation of the interest rates applicable to the Note. A detailed statement as to the amount of such increased cost, reduced sum receivable or reduced rate of return, prepared in good faith and submitted by Huntington to Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error in determination. Huntington shall promptly notify Borrower in writing of any event occurring after the date of this Note that entitles Huntington to additional compensation pursuant to this paragraph. This provision is for the benefit of Huntington and is not intended to increase the yield to Huntington above the rates of interest provided for in this Note. This provision shall survive the payment in full of this Note. In such circumstance, Borrower may elect, as of the end of the Interest Period, to have interest be calculated and charged at a variable rate per annum equal to the Prime Commercial Rate. 5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note to the contrary, if, (a) deposits in U.S. dollars for periods comparable to one month LIBO are not available to Huntington in the London interbank market, or (b) the Quoted LIBO Rate or Daily LIBO Rate will not accurately cover the cost to Huntington of making or maintaining the related Quoted LIBO Rate Advance or Daily LIBO Rate Advance, or (c) by reason of national or international financial, political or economic conditions or by reason of any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect, or the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Huntington with any request or directive of such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including without limitation exchange controls, it is unlawful, impossible or unduly burdensome for Huntington (i) to make the Quoted LIBO Rate Advance or Daily LIBO Rate Advance or (ii) to continue such Quoted LIBO Rate Advance or Daily LIBO Rate Advance, then Borrower shall not be entitled, so long as such circumstances continue, to request a Quoted LIBO Rate Advance or Daily LIBO Rate Advance. During the period that such circumstances exist, interest on the principal sum bearing interest at a the Quoted LIBO Rate or Daily LIBO Rate shall be calculated and charged at variable rate (subject to daily adjustment) per annum equal to the Prime Commercial Rate. In the event that such circumstances no longer exist, Huntington shall again consider requests for Quoted LIBO Rate Advances and Daily LIBO Rate Advances. In the event that any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Huntington with any request or directive of such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including without limitation exchange controls, shall make it unlawful or impossible for Huntington to maintain any Quoted LIBO Rate Advance or Daily LIBO Rate Advance under this Note, Borrower shall after receipt of written notice thereof from Huntington, repay in full that portion of the outstanding unpaid balance of the principal sum bearing interest at the Quoted LIBO Rate or Daily LIBO Rate , together with all accrued interest thereon to the date of payment and all amounts due to Huntington under the following paragraph, (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such advance, if Huntington may lawfully continue to maintain such advance to such day, or (b) immediately, if Huntington may not continue to maintain such advance to such day. This provision is for the benefit of Huntington and is not intended to increase the yield to Huntington above the rates of interest provided for in this Note. This paragraph shall apply only as long as such illegality exists. Huntington shall use reasonable, lawful efforts to avoid the impact of such law, treaty, rule or regulation. As an alternative to the repayment obligation provided in this paragraph, Borrower may, at its option, and at the time provided in this paragraph, convert the advance to an advance bearing interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the Prime Commercial Rate, accompanied by the payment of all accrued interest to the date of conversion and all amounts due to Huntington under the following paragraph. If Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to a Quoted LIBO Rate Advance on any other date than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto or fails to make any payment of principal or interest when due or at the maturity date, Borrower shall reimburse Huntington on demand for 6 any resulting actual and direct loss or expense incurred by Huntington, determined in Huntington's reasonable opinion, including without limitation any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties. A detailed statement as to the amount of such loss or expense, prepared in good faith and submitted by Huntington to Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in determination. This provision is for the benefit of Huntington and is not intended to increase the yield to Huntington above the rates of interest provided for in this Note. This provision shall survive the payment in full of this Note. 3. LATE CHARGES 3.1 If any payment of principal or interest or both is not paid in full on or before the fifteen (15th) day of the calendar month in which it is due, then, in addition to the amount of said payment, there shall be due and payable a late charge for each such payment in the amount of five percent (5%) of such payment, which Borrower agrees is a fair and reasonable charge for costs incurred by Huntington in processing such late payment and is not a penalty. 4. PREPAYMENT 4.1 Borrower shall have the right to prepay the unrepaid advances of the principal sum, in whole or in part, from time to time, without premium or penalty but upon payment of any costs incurred by Huntington with respect to advances bearing interest at the Quoted LIBO Rate or Daily LIBO Rate provided (a) that Huntington shall receive written notice of Borrower's intention to prepay not less than five (5) business days prior to such prepayment, and (b) that a payment of all accrued and unpaid Indebtedness to the date of such prepayment is included with such prepayment; and provided further, that if such prepayment follows an Event of Default and a declaration by Huntington that the Indebtedness is due and payable, then Borrower shall pay to Huntington on the date of such prepayment a prepayment premium equal to five percent (5%) of the Indebtedness then due, which Borrower agrees is a fair and reasonable charge for costs incurred by Huntington in processing such Event of Default and declaration and is not a penalty. 4.2 For the purposes of Subsections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Note, repayment of the Indebtedness following an Event of Default and declaration by Huntington that the Indebtedness is due and payable shall, notwithstanding such declaration, be deemed a prepayment. 4.3 Prepayments shall not be readvanced. 5.

MISCELLANEOUS 6.1 The failure of Huntington to exercise any option herein provided upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such option in the event of any continuing or subsequent Event of Default. Borrower hereby agrees that the maturity of all or any part of the Indebtedness may be postponed or extended and that any covenants and conditions contained in the Note or in any of the other Loan Documents may be waived or modified without prejudice to the liability of Borrower on the Note or other Loan Documents. 9 6.2 When the Note becomes due, by acceleration or otherwise, Huntington may, at its option, demand, sue for, collect, or make any compromise or settlement it deems desirable with reference to property held as security herefor. Huntington shall not be bound to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the property held as security herefor against prior parties, which Borrower hereby assumes to do. The provisions hereof shall apply and be controlling as to all property which may at any time be security herefor. 6.3 Borrower hereby authorizes Huntington, in its sole discretion, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to apply all or any portion of the balance of any account maintained by Borrower with Huntington to the payment or reduction, in whole or in part, of any and all the Indebtedness then due, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Huntington shall have the right to set off all obligations of Borrower to Huntington hereunder, whether matured or unmatured, against all amounts owing to Borrower by Huntington, whether or not then due and payable, and all other funds or property of Borrower on deposit with or otherwise held in the custody of Huntington, all without notice to or demand on Borrower, such notice and demand being hereby waived. 6.4 Presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest and diligence in bringing suit against any party hereto are hereby waived by Borrower. 6.5 Borrower hereby waives all relief from any and all appraisement or exemption laws now in force or hereafter enacted. 6.6 The obligations evidenced or created by the Note, as well as all waivers of rights by Borrower contained herein shall effectively bind and be the obligations and waivers of any and all others who may at any time become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Note, including, without limitation, all endorsers and guarantors. 6.7 Nothing herein contained, nor contained in any of the other Loan Documents, shall be construed or so operate as to require Borrower, or any person liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, to pay interest in an amount or at a rate greater than the highest rate permissible under applicable law. Should any interest or other charges paid by Borrower, or any parties liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the highest rate permissible under applicable law, then any and all such excess shall be and the same is hereby waived by Huntington, and all such excess shall be automatically credited against and in reduction of the unrepaid advances of the principal sum, and any portion of said excess which exceeds the unrepaid advances of the principal sum shall be paid by Huntington to Borrower and any parties liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, it being the intent of the parties hereto that under no circumstances shall Borrower or any parties liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, be required to pay interest in excess of the highest rate permissible under applicable law. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Huntington shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the Indebtedness, including the period of any renewal or extensions thereof, so that interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. 10 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in the event that the interest rate to be charged hereunder ever exceeds the highest rate permissible under applicable law, thereby causing the interest accruing on the Indebtedness to be limited to such rate, then any subsequent reduction in the interest rate to which Borrower would otherwise be entitled shall be held in abeyance until the total amount of interest accrued on the Indebtedness equals the amount of interest which would have accrued on the Indebtedness had the interest rate not been limited to the highest rate permissible under applicable law. 6.8 If any provision or any part of any provision contained in the Note shall for any reason be held or deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or remaining part of the affected provision of the Note, and the Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or part thereof had never been contained herein and the remaining provisions of the Note shall remain in full force and effect. 6.9 Borrower hereby authorizes any attorney-at-law to appear in any court of record in the State of Ohio or in any other state or territory of the United States at any time after the Note becomes due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, to waive the issuing and service of process, and to confess judgment against Borrower in favor of Huntington for the amount due together with interest, expenses, the costs of suit and reasonable counsel fees, and thereupon to release and waive all errors, rights of appeal and stays of execution. Such authority shall not be exhausted by one exercise, but judgment may be confessed from time to time as any sums and/or costs, expenses or reasonable counsel fees shall be due, by filing an original or a photostatic copy of the Note. The attorney-at-law authorized hereby to appear for Borrower may be an attorney-at-law representing Huntington, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any conflict of interest that may exist because of such representation. 6.10 Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Huntington all costs of collecting and securing, and of attempting to collect and to secure the Note, and all costs of foreclosing the Mortgage, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, appraisers' fees, court costs, notice charges and title insurance charges, whether such attempt be made by suit, in bankruptcy, or otherwise, and said costs and any other sums due Huntington by virtue of the Loan Documents may be included in any judgment or decree rendered. 6.11 Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing.
