FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CUSO promises to pay to the order of Members United, in lawful money of the United States and in immediate available funds, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED MILLION AND NO/00 DOLLARS - ------------------------------------------------------------- ($100,000,000.00) and/or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances made to CUSO by Members United pursuant to the forgoing Note and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”), together with all relevant attachments, addenda, exhibits and/or schedules, as amended, extended, supplemented, replaced or modified from time to time (collectively, the “Agreement”), whichever is greater, on the first to occur (i) demand or (ii) the maturity date or the expiration date, and to pay interest at the interest rate herein provided (“Interest”) when due as provided in this Agreement on the unpaid principal amount until the maturity date.

ADVANCES: CUSO Line of Credit advances will be interest only during draw period with outstanding to be termed out over a five-year period with a 30-year amortization period.

Demand Loan and/or a Term Loan.  A “Demand Loan” is a loan with a maximum term of one (1) year and a variable rate, with the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate as the index plus or minus a spread (“Demand Loan Rate”). The maximum Demand Loan fluctuating rate of Interest as publicly announced from time to time by Members United as its Demand Loan Rate for a capital shareholder or non-capital shareholder, as the case may be, will apply with respect to each Demand Loan and corresponding advances.  With each change in such fluctuating interest rate, the applicable Demand Loan Rate will correspondingly change and without notice to CUSO. Any change in the Demand Loan Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Demand Loan Rate becomes effective. A “Term Loan” is a fixed or variable loan that has a set maturity date not to exceed twelve (12) years. The CUSO, during its draw period, will accrue interest and the following rate, to be reset each day as quoted by Bloomberg:

 
1.
Fed Funds Open + 125 bps

Once fully drawn, total outstanding balance to be termed out over a five-year period with a 30-year amortization period. The term loan rate will be specified by Members United and will be reprised to a market appropriate fixed or variable rate to be determined at the time of loan restructure.

Neither a Demand Loan nor Term Loan may exceed the amount available under the Credit Facility, minus current outstandings and all other obligations due to Members United herein (“Maximum Advance Amount”). CUSO may borrow, repay and reborrow under the Credit Facility up to the expiration date. The expiration date for this Credit Facility is September 1, 2012 and no advances of any type will be permitted past this expiration date unless the facility is renewed.  Renewal of this Credit Facility is at Members United’s sole discretion.  All advances shall be funded to CUSO’s account, as designated by Members United (“Account”).

NOTICE AND MANNER OF REQUESTING ADVANCES: Except for advances made for Settlement purposes (“Settlement” means payment of any presentment or billing, or credit of any amount, as requested by Members United or other authorized payee relating to correspondent services or if authorized by CUSO, relating to any of its goods or other services provided to CUSO or its members), CUSO shall obtain all Demand Loan advances hereunder via Members United’s then in effect internet-based cash management system (currently known as “Members United Corporate Superhighway”) or by providing Members United either written notice (via US Mail, fax transmission or e-mail and which is effective upon receipt) or verbal notice via telephone (effective at the end of the business day of receipt) of any advance request.  In the case of a Term Loan, CUSO shall obtain all advances, not to exceed the Maximum Advance Amount, through written notice (via US Mail, fax transmission or e-mail and which is effective upon receipt) or verbal notice via telephone (effective at the end of the business day of receipt) specifying (i) the amount of such advance; and (ii) when applicable, the purpose for the advance and method of payment, or via the internet-based cash management system when available.

FUNDING OF THE ADVANCE: Members United will make the advance available to CUSO by crediting CUSO's Account held at Members United within a reasonable time after CUSO requests said advance. CUSO is deemed to have obtained the proceeds of an advance upon funding to the CUSO’s Account and shall be liable pursuant to this Agreement for the repayment of any advances upon funding.

CONFIRMATION AND RECORDATION OF THE ADVANCE: CUSO shall receive confirmation of each advance through monthly Members United Corporate FCU statements. CUSO authorizes Members United to record advances made and payments received hereunder in such manner as it may elect. Such confirmation and recordation, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive as to the type, principal amount, date, Interest rate, and maturity date, if any, of each advance.

SETTLEMENT ACCOUNT: At the end of each day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which the Federal Reserve Bank in the federal reserve district where Members United is principally located is not open for business (“Business Day”), if CUSO’s Account has a negative balance, CUSO is deemed to have requested an advance in the form of a Demand Loan herein in the amount of the negative balance.

INTEREST RATE OF DEMAND LOANS AND TERM LOANS: CUSO shall pay accrued Interest to Members United on the outstanding principal balance of all Demand Loan advances and Term Loan advances at a per annum interest rate equal to the Demand Loan Rate or Term Loan Rate in effect on the date a Demand Loan or Term Loan is made, on the third (3rd) Friday of each month and said accrued Interest shall be debited from CUSO’s Account.  Interest at the Demand Loan Rate or Term Loan Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall continue to accrue until payment is collected.

PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE CREDIT FACILITY: The principal due under the Credit Facility shall, in the case of a Demand Loan, be paid on the date of demand or maturity date and, in the case of a Term Loan, be paid on the maturity date. In addition, if at any time during the term of the Credit Facility the principal amount of all advances should exceed the Maximum Advance Amount, principal on all advances shall accrue interest at a per annum interest rate equal to eighteen (18%) percent or the highest interest rate allowed under applicable state or Federal law, whichever is less (“Default Interest Rate”), and Members United may, at its option, consider such a Default and/or an Event of Default (both hereinafter defined).

PREPAYMENT: The principal due with respect to the Credit Facility which is outstanding as a Term Loan may be prepaid only in full, and not in part, provided a prepayment penalty is paid based on the then current prepayment schedule.

METHOD OF PAYMENTS: CUSO hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes Members United, without notice or approval, to collect when due all principal, Interest, and other charges due Members United hereunder by: (i) debiting CUSO's Account from time to time and/or (ii) making a Demand Loan to CUSO, as Members United may elect in its sole and absolute discretion. Whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest.
