Maturity Date” May 31, 2011 unless accelerated due to an uncured default.  The Maturity Date may be extended for a period of six (6) months provided the undersigned is not in default by payment of a $10,000.00 on or before the original Maturity Date.
 
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) of the loan shall be funded on or before May 14, 2010 for working capital or general corporate purposes.  The balance of the loan may be drawn down only in connection with a bona fide acquisition made by the undersigned at arms-length terms and not to complete a refinance or to provide working capital.  The undersigned shall give Holder 5 business days notice to fund a closing of an acquisition.
 
Interest shall accrue on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at the per annum rate which is the Interest Rate, as may be in effect from time-to-time.  Such interest shall be calculated on the basis of the number of days elapsed over a 360-day year through the date immediately proceeding the payment date.

If from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Promissory Note or of any other instrument evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced hereby, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, with regard to the obligations of like character and amount, then, ipso facto, the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced to their limit of such validity, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Note or under any other instrument evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenc ed hereby, that is in excess of the current limit of such validity, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the limit of such validity.
 
 

 
It is hereby expressly agreed that should any default be made in the payment of principal, interest or late charges as stipulated above, or should any default be made in the performance of any of the covenants or conditions contained in the Promissory Note, then, and in any such event, the principal indebtedness evidenced hereby, and any other sums advanced hereunder, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall, at the option of Holder and without notice to undersigned, except as otherwise hereinafter provided, at once become due and payable and may be collected forthwith, regardless of the stipulated date of maturity.  Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note from the Maturity Date or any default hereunder and for so long as such default continues, regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced hereby as set forth herein, at the rate eq ual to eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum.  All such Interest shall be paid at the time of and as a condition precedent to the curing of any such default should Holder, at its sole option, allow such default to be cured.  In the event this Note, or any part thereof, is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, undersigned agrees to pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred by Holder.

Presentation for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, protest and non-payment and all other notices are hereby waived by undersigned, except as otherwise herein provided.  No failure to accelerate the debt evidenced hereby by reason of default hereunder, acceptance of a past due installment, 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 Holder 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 of Virginia; and undersigned 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.  No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any installment due hereunder, made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of undersigned under this Note, either in whole or in part unless Holder agrees otherwise in writing.  This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.
