This Note is issued by Borrower pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) entered into among Borrower, Agent, Lender and each other Lender now or hereafter party to the Loan Agreement, and is the Note as defined in the Loan Agreement. This Note evidences the Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement). Payment of this Note is governed by the Loan Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by express reference as if fully set forth herein. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

1.   Interest. The principal amount hereof outstanding from time to time shall bear interest until paid in full at the Applicable Rate.

2.   Monthly Payments. Monthly installment payments of principal and interest as described in the Loan Agreement shall be payable on the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month after the date hereof up to and including the Maturity Date. All payments on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be made to Agent prior to the close of business on the day when due in lawful money of the United States and shall be first applied to late charges, costs of collection or enforcement and other similar amounts due, if any, under this Note and any of the other Loan Documents, then to interest due and payable hereunder and the remainder to principal due and payable hereunder.

3.   Maturity Date. The indebtedness evidenced hereby shall mature on the Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the entire outstanding principal balance hereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums evidenced by this Note, shall, if not sooner paid, become due and payable. The Maturity Date may be extended on the terms and conditions set out in the Loan Agreement.

4.   General Provisions.

  (a)   Regardless of whether an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would otherwise then be in effect, in the event (i) the principal balance hereof is not paid when due whether by acceleration or upon the Maturity Date or (ii) an Event of Default exists, then the principal balance hereof shall bear interest from and after the Default Rate. In addition, for any installment (exclusive of the payment due upon the Maturity Date) which is not paid within five (5) days after the due date thereof, a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of the amount of such installment shall be due and payable to the holder of this Note on demand to cover the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments.

  (b)   Borrower agrees that the obligation evidenced by this Note is an exempt transaction under the Truth-in-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1601, et seq.

  (c)   The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Note comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Note is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Note to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Note shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Borrower and the holder or holders hereof under the remainder of this Note shall continue in full force and effect. All agreements herein are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid principal balance hereof, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the holders hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable usury laws. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity and if from any circumstance the holder hereof shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due hereunder and not to the payment of interest.

  (d)   This Note and all provisions hereof shall be binding upon Borrower and all persons claiming under or through Borrower, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, together with its successors and assigns, including each owner and holder from time to time of this Note.

  (e)   Time is of the essence as to all dates set forth herein.

  (f)   Borrower agrees that its liability shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver, or modification granted or consented to by Lender or Agent; and Borrower consents to any indulgences and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Lender or Agent with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and to any substitution, exchange or release of the collateral, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and agrees to the addition or release of any Borrowers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, all whether primarily or secondarily liable, without notice to Borrower and without affecting its liability hereunder.

  (g)   Borrower hereby waives and renounces for itself, its successors and assigns, all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshalling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, or exemption and homestead laws now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, by the laws of the United States and of any state thereof against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note.

  (h)   If this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys for collection or is collected through any legal proceedings, Borrower promises and agrees to pay, in addition to the principal, interest and other sums due and payable hereon, all costs of collecting or attempting to collect this Note, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

  (i)   All parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether Borrower, principal, surety, guarantor, endorsee or otherwise hereby severally waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest. No failure to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, acceptance of a past due installment following the expiration of any cure period provided by this Note, any Loan Document or applicable law, or indulgences granted from time to time shall be construed (i) as a novation of this Note or as a reinstatement of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of Lender or Agent thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (ii) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by the laws of the State. Borrower hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
