insurance proceeds and condemnation awards; and all replacements, substitutions and accessions thereof.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property and all the estate, right, title and interest, in law and in equity, of Mortgagor in and to the Property unto Bank, its successors and assigns, forever.

Mortgagor WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS that Mortgagor is lawfully seized of the Property, in fee simple, absolute, that Mortgagor has the legal right to convey and encumber the same, and that the Property is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Mortgagor further warrants and will forever defend all and singular the Property and title thereto to Bank and Bank’s successors and assigns, against the lawful claims of all persons whomsoever.

PROVIDED ALWAYS that if all Obligations are timely paid and performed each and every representation, warranty, agreement, and condition of this Mortgage, the other Loan Documents and any swap agreements, are complied with and abided by, this Mortgage and the estate hereby created shall cease and be null, void, and canceled of record.

To protect the security of this Mortgage, Mortgagor further represents and agrees with Bank as follows:

Payment of Obligations. That the Obligations shall be timely paid and performed.

Future Advances. This Mortgage is given to secure not only existing Obligations, but also future advances made within 20 years of the date of this Mortgage to the same extent as if such future advances are made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage. The principal amount (including any swap agreements and future advances) that may be so secured may decrease or increase from time to time, but the total amount so secured at any one time shall not exceed the maximum principal amount of $4,048,000.00, plus all interest, costs, reimbursements, fees and expenses due under this Mortgage and secured hereby. Mortgagor shall not execute any document that impairs or otherwise impacts the priority of any future advances secured by this Mortgage.

Grant of Security Interest in Personal Property. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement under the UCC and shall be deemed to constitute a fixture financing statement. Mortgagor hereby grants a security interest in any personal property included in the Property. On request of Bank, Mortgagor will execute one or more Financing Statements in form satisfactory to Bank and will pay all costs and expenses of filing the same in all public filing offices, where filing is deemed desirable by Bank. Bank is authorized to file Financing Statements relating to the Property without Mortgagor’s signature where permitted by law. Mortgagor appoints Bank as its attorney-in-fact to execute such documents necessary to perfect Bank’s security interest on Mortgagor’s behalf. The appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable as long as any Obligations remain outstanding.

Leases, Subleases and Easements. Mortgagor shall maintain, enforce and cause to be performed all of the terms and conditions under any lease, sublease or easement which may constitute a portion of the Property. Mortgagor shall not, without the consent of Bank, enter into any new lease of all or any portion of the Property, agree to the cancellation or surrender under any lease of all or any portion of the Property, agree to prepayment of rents, issues or profits (other than rent paid at the signing of a lease or sublease), modify any such lease so as to shorten the term, decrease the rent, accelerate the payment of rent, or change the terms of any renewal option; and any such purported new lease, cancellation, surrender, prepayment or modification made without the consent of Bank shall be void as against Bank.

Required Insurance. Mortgagor shall maintain with respect to the Property: (i) during construction of any improvements on the Property, “all-risk” builders risk insurance (non-reporting Completed Value with Special Cause of Loss form), in an amount not less than the total value of the improvements under construction, naming Bank as mortgagee and loss payee; (ii) upon completion of construction and at all other times, insurance against loss or damage by fire and other casualties and

2

hazards by insurance written on an “all risks” basis, including specifically windstorm and/or hail damage, in an amount not less than the replacement cost thereof, naming Bank as loss payee and mortgagee; (iii) if the Property is required to be insured pursuant to the National Flood Reform Act of 1994, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, flood insurance is required in the amount equal to the lesser of the loan amount or maximum available under the National Flood Insurance Program, but in no event should the amount of coverage be less than the value of the improved structure, naming Bank as mortgagee and loss payee; and (iv) liability insurance providing coverage in such amount as Bank may require but in no event less than $1,000,000.00 combined single limit, naming Bank as an additional insured; and (v) such other insurance as Bank may require from time to time.

All casualty insurance policies shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer in form satisfactory to Bank that any loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Mortgagor and the further agreement of the insurer waiving rights of subrogation against Bank, and rights of set-off, counterclaim or deductions against Mortgagor.

All insurance policies shall be in form, provide coverages, be issued by companies and be in amounts satisfactory to Bank. At least 30 days prior to the expiration of each such policy, Mortgagor shall furnish Bank with evidence satisfactory to Bank that such policy has been renewed or replaced or is no longer required hereunder. All such policies shall provide that the policy will not be canceled or materially amended without at least 30 days prior written notice to Bank. In the event Mortgagor fails to provide, maintain, keep in force, and furnish to Bank the policies of insurance required by this paragraph, Bank may procure such insurance or single-interest insurance in such amounts, at such premium, for such risks and by such means as Bank chooses, at Mortgagor’s expense; provided however, Bank shall have no responsibility to obtain any insurance, but if Bank does obtain insurance, Bank shall have no responsibility to assure that the insurance obtained shall be adequate or provide any protection to Mortgagor.

Insurance Proceeds. After occurrence of any loss to any of the Property, Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Bank.

In the event of such loss all insurance proceeds shall be payable to Bank, and Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance company to make payment of such proceeds directly to Bank. Bank is hereby authorized by Mortgagor to settle, adjust or compromise any claims for loss or damage under any policy or policies of insurance and Mortgagor appoints Bank as its attorney-in-fact to receive and endorse any insurance proceeds to Bank, which appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable as long as any Obligations remain unsatisfied.

In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property, Bank shall have the option of applying or paying all or part of the insurance proceeds to (i) the Obligations in such order as Bank may determine, (ii) restoration of the Property, or (iii) Mortgagor. Nothing herein shall be deemed to excuse Mortgagor from restoring, repairing and maintaining the Property as required herein.

Impositions; Escrow Deposit. Mortgagor will pay all taxes, levies, assessments and other fees and charges imposed upon or which may become a lien upon the Property under any law or ordinance (all of the foregoing collectively “Impositions”) before they become delinquent and in any event in the same calendar year in which they first become due. Upon request of Bank (but only if Mortgagor has failed to timely pay same when and as due), Mortgagor shall add to each periodic payment required under the Note the amount estimated by Bank to be sufficient to enable Bank to pay, as they come due, all Impositions and insurance premiums which Mortgagor is required to pay hereunder. Payments requested under this provision shall be supplemented or adjusted as required by Bank from time to time. Such funds may be commingled with the general funds of Bank and shall not earn interest. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Bank may apply such funds to pay any of the Obligations.

Use of Property. Mortgagor shall use and operate, and require its lessees or licensees to use and operate, the Property in compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances, covenants, and restrictions, and with all applicable requirements of any lease or sublease now or hereafter affecting the

3

Property. Mortgagor shall not permit any unlawful use of the Property or any use that may give rise to a claim of forfeiture of any of the Property. Mortgagor shall not allow changes in the stated use of Property from that disclosed to Bank at the time of execution hereof. Mortgagor shall not initiate or acquiesce to a zoning change of the Property without prior notice to, and written consent of, Bank.

Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations. Mortgagor shall keep and maintain the Property in good condition and repair and fully protected from the elements to the satisfaction of Bank. Mortgagor will not materially remove, demolish or structurally alter more than twenty-five (25%) percent of any of the buildings or other improvements on the Property (except such alterations as may be required by laws, ordinances or regulations) without the prior written consent of Bank. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Bank in writing of any material loss, damage or adverse condition affecting the Property.

Eminent Domain. Should the Property or any interest therein be taken or damaged by reason of any public use or improvement or condemnation proceeding (“Condemnation”), or should Mortgagor receive any notice or other information regarding such Condemnation, Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Bank. Bank shall be entitled to all compensation, awards and other payments or relief granted in connection with such Condemnation and, at its option, may commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceedings relating thereto. Bank shall be entitled to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such taking or damage. All compensation, awards, and damages awarded to Mortgagor related to any Condemnation (the “Proceeds”) are hereby assigned to Bank and Mortgagor agrees to execute such further assignments of the Proceeds as Bank may require. Bank shall have the option of applying or paying the Proceeds in the same manner as insurance proceeds as provided herein. Mortgagor appoints Bank as its attorney-in-fact to receive and endorse the Proceeds to Bank, which appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable as long as any Obligations remain unsatisfied.

Environmental Condition of Property and Indemnity. Mortgagor warrants and represents to Bank, except as reported by Mortgagor to Bank in writing, that: (i) Mortgagor has inspected and is familiar with the environmental condition of the Property; (ii) the Property and Mortgagor, and any occupants of the Property, are in compliance with and shall continue to be in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations intended to protect the environment and public health and safety as the same may be amended from time to time (“Environmental Laws”); (iii) to the best of Mortgagor’s knowledge and belief, the Property is not and has never been used to generate, handle, treat, store or dispose of, in any quantity, oil, petroleum products, hazardous or toxic substances, hazardous waste, regulated substances or hazardous air pollutants (“Hazardous Materials”) in violation of any Environmental Laws; and (iv) no Hazardous Materials (including asbestos or lead paint in any form) are located on or under the Property or emanate from the Property, except those that are properly handled and disposed of in accordance with all federal and state laws. Further, Mortgagor represents to Bank that no portion of the Property is a protected wetland. Mortgagor agrees to notify Bank immediately upon receipt of any citations, warnings, orders, notices, consent agreements, process or claims alleging or relating to violations of any Environmental Laws or to the environmental condition of the Property.

Mortgagor shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Bank from and against any and all damages, penalties, fines, claims, suits, liabilities, costs, judgments and expenses, including attorneys’, consultants’ or experts’ fees of every kind and nature incurred, suffered by or asserted against Bank as a direct or indirect result of: (i) representations made by Mortgagor in this Section being or becoming untrue in any material respect; (ii) Mortgagor’s violation of or failure to meet the requirements of any Environmental Laws; or (iii) Hazardous Materials which, while the Property is subject to this Mortgage, exist on the Property. Bank shall have the right to arrange for or conduct environmental inspections of the Property from time to time (including the taking of soil, water, air or material samples). The cost of such inspections made after Default or which are required by laws or regulations applicable to Bank shall be borne by Mortgagor. Mortgagor’s obligations under this Section shall continue, survive and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding foreclosure, satisfaction of this Mortgage or full satisfaction of the Obligations. However, Mortgagor’s indemnity shall not apply to any negligent or intentional act of Bank which takes place after foreclosure or satisfaction of this Mortgage.

4

Appraisals. Mortgagor agrees that Bank may obtain an appraisal of the Property when required by the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or at such other times as Bank may reasonably require. Such appraisals shall be performed by an independent third party appraiser selected by Bank. The cost of such appraisals shall be borne by Mortgagor. If requested by Bank, Mortgagor shall execute an engagement letter addressed to the appraiser selected by Bank. Mortgagor failure or refusal to sign such an engagement letter, however, shall not impair Bank’s right to obtain such an appraisal. Mortgagor agrees to pay the cost of such appraisal within 10 days after receiving an invoice for such appraisal.

Inspections. Bank, or its representatives or agents, are authorized to enter at any reasonable time upon any part of the Property for the purpose of inspecting the Property and for the purpose of performing any of the acts it is authorized to perform under the terms of this Mortgage at their own risk.

Liens and Subrogation. Mortgagor shall pay and promptly discharge all liens, claims and encumbrances upon the Property. Mortgagor shall have the right to contest in good faith the validity of any such lien, claim or encumbrance, provided: (i) such contest suspends the collection thereof or there is no danger of the Property being sold or forfeited while such contest is pending; (ii) Mortgagor first deposits with Bank a bond or other security satisfactory to Bank in such amounts as Bank shall reasonably require; and (iii) Mortgagor thereafter diligently proceeds to cause such lien, claim or encumbrance to be removed and discharged.

Bank shall be subrogated to any liens, claims and encumbrances against Mortgagor or the Property that are paid or discharged through payment by Bank or with loan proceeds, notwithstanding the record cancellation or satisfaction thereof.

Waiver of Mortgagor’s Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives any: (i) rights of homestead or other exemption with regard to any of the Property; (ii) rights or claims of equitable or statutory redemption; (iii) rights of appraisal; and (iv) rights to require marshaling of assets except as same is permitted by law.

Payments by Bank; Indemnification. In the event of default in the timely payment or performance of any of the Obligations, Bank, at its option and without any duty on its part to determine the validity or necessity thereof, but with notice to Borrower, may pay the sums for which Mortgagor is obligated. Further, Bank may pay such sums as Bank deems appropriate for the protection and maintenance of the Property including, without limitation, sums to pay Impositions and other levies, assessments or liens, maintain insurance, make repairs, secure the Property, maintain utility service, intervene in any condemnation and pay attorneys’ fees and other fees and costs to enforce this Mortgage or protect the lien hereof (including foreclosure) or collect the Obligations, without limitation, including those incurred in any proceeding including Bankruptcy or arbitration. Any amounts so paid shall bear interest at the default rate stated in the Note and shall be secured by this Mortgage.

In the event Bank shall become party to any suit or legal proceeding by reason of its status as holder of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall indemnify and hold harmless Bank and reimburse Bank for any amounts paid or incurred by Bank, including all reasonable costs, charges and attorneys’ fees in any such suit or proceeding.

Assignment of Rents. Mortgagor hereby absolutely assigns and transfers to Bank all the leases, rents, issues and profits of the Property (collectively “Rents”). Although this assignment is effective immediately, so long as no Default exists, Bank gives to and confers upon Mortgagor the privilege under a revocable license to collect as they become due, but not prior to accrual, the Rents and to demand, receive and enforce payment, give receipts, releases and satisfactions, and sue in the name of Mortgagor for all such Rents. Mortgagor represents there has been no prior assignment of leases or Rents, and agrees not to further assign such leases or Rents. Upon any occurrence of Default, the license granted to Mortgagor herein shall be automatically revoked without further notice to or demand upon Mortgagor, and Bank shall have the right, in its discretion, without notice, by agent or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations, (i) to enter

5

upon and take possession of the Property, (ii) notify tenants, subtenants and any property manager to pay Rents to Bank or its designee, and upon receipt of such notice such persons are authorized and directed to make payment as specified in the notice and disregard any contrary direction or instruction by Mortgagor, and (iii) in its own name, sue for or otherwise collect Rents, including those past due, and apply Rents, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including attorneys’ fees, to the Obligations in such order and manner as Bank may determine or as otherwise provided for herein. Bank’s exercise of any one or more of the foregoing rights shall not cure or waive any Default or notice of Default hereunder.

Due on Sale or Further Encumbrance. The direct or indirect sale, assignment, or conveyance of the Property, or any interest therein, or the further encumbrance of the Property, without Bank’s written consent shall, at Bank’s option, constitute a Default under this Mortgage. Transfer of control of or a controlling interest in the Mortgagor shall be deemed a transfer of the Property except that a transfer or merger with Guarantor shall not constitute a default hereunder.

Remedies of Bank on Default. Failure of Mortgagor or any other person liable to timely pay or perform any of the Obligations is a default (“Default”) under this Mortgage. Upon the occurrence of Default the following remedies are available, without limitation, to Bank: (i) Bank may exercise any or all of Bank’s remedies under this Mortgage or other Loan Documents including, without limitation, acceleration of maturity of all payments and Obligations, other than Obligations under any swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101) with Bank, which shall be governed by the default and termination provisions of said swap agreements; (ii) Bank may take immediate possession of the Property or any part thereof (which Mortgagor agrees to surrender to Bank) and manage, control or lease the same to such persons and at such rental as it may deem proper and collect and apply Rents to the payment of: (a) the Obligations, together with all costs and attorneys’ fees; (b) all Impositions and any other levies, assessments or liens which may be prior in lien or payment to the Obligations, and premiums for insurance, with interest on all such items; and (c) the cost of all alterations, repairs, replacements and expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property and the management and operation thereof; all in such order or priority as Bank in its sole discretion may determine. The taking of possession shall not prevent concurrent or later proceedings for the foreclosure sale of the Property; (iii) Bank may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver for all purposes including, without limitation, to manage and operate the Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents therefrom as hereinabove provided. In the event of such application, Mortgagor consents to the appointment of a receiver, and agrees that a receiver may be appointed without notice to Mortgagor, without regard to whether Mortgagor has committed waste or permitted deterioration of the Property, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations, and without regard to the solvency of Mortgagor or any other person, firm or corporation who or which may be liable for the payment of the Obligations.

Miscellaneous Provisions. Mortgagor agrees to the following: (i) All remedies available to Bank with respect to this Mortgage or available at law or in equity shall be cumulative and may be pursued concurrently or successively. No delay by Bank in exercising any remedy shall operate as a waiver of that remedy or of any Default. Any payment by Bank or acceptance by Bank of any partial payment shall not constitute a waiver by Bank of any Default; (ii) The provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Mortgagor, its heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Property or any part thereof, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Bank, its successors and assigns and any future holder of the Note or other Obligations; (iii) Any notices, demands or requests shall be sufficiently given Mortgagor if in writing and mailed or delivered to the address of Mortgagor shown above or to another address as provided herein and to Bank if in writing and mailed or delivered to Bank’s office address shown above, or such other address as Bank may specify from time to time and in the event that either party hereto changes its address at any time prior to the date the Obligations are paid in full, that party shall promptly give written notice of such change of address by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, all charges prepaid; (iv) This Mortgage may not be changed, terminated or modified orally or in any manner other than by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto; (v) The captions or headings at the beginning of each paragraph hereof are for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this

6

Mortgage; (vi) If the lien of this Mortgage is invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Obligations, the unsecured portion of the Obligations shall be completely paid (and all payments made shall be deemed to have first been applied to payment of the unsecured portion of the Obligations) prior to payment of the secured portion of the Obligations and if any clause, provision or obligation hereunder is determined invalid or unenforceable the remainder of this Mortgage shall be construed and enforced as if such clause, provision or obligation had not been contained herein; (vii) This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the jurisdiction where this Mortgage is recorded; (viii) Mortgagor by execution and Bank by acceptance of this Mortgage agree to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof.

Mortgagor has signed and sealed this instrument as of the day and year first above written.

PROMISSORY NOTE

FLORIDA DOCUMENTARY STAMP TAX IN THE AMOUNT OF $7,084.00 HAS BEEN AFFIXED TO THE RECORDED INSTRUMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 201.08, FLORIDA STATUTE.

Countrywide Hardware, Inc.

300 Smith Street

Farmingdale, New York 11735

Hereinafter referred to as “Borrower”)

Wachovia Bank, National Association
214 North Hogan Street - FL0070
Jacksonville, Florida 32202
Hereinafter referred to as “Bank”)

Borrower promises to pay to the order of Bank, in lawful money of the United States of America, at its office indicated above or wherever else Bank may specify, in writing, the sum of Two Million, Twenty-Four Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,024,000.00) or such sum as may be advanced and outstanding from time to time, with interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate and on the terms provided in this Promissory Note (including all renewals, extensions or modifications hereof, this “Note”).

LOAN AGREEMENT. This Note is subject to the provisions of that certain Loan Agreement between Bank and Borrower of even date herewith, as modified from time to time.

USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the loan(s) evidenced by this Note for the commercial purposes of Borrower, as follows: to finance the acquisition of certain real property located at 10333 Windhorst Road, Tampa, Florida,

SECURITY. Borrower has granted Bank a security interest in the collateral described in the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, real property collateral described in that certain Mortgage of even date herewith.

INTEREST RATE. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from the date hereof at 1-month LIBOR plus 1.55% (“Interest Rate”), as determined by Bank prior to the commencement of each consecutive interest period of 1 month (each, an “Interest Period”) during the term of the Note; provided, the first Interest Period shall commence on the date of this Note and end on the first date thereafter that interest is due. Each Interest Rate shall remain in effect for the entire Interest Period until redetermined for the next successive Interest Period. “LIBOR” is the rate for U. S. dollar deposits with a maturity equal to the number of months specified above, as reported on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the second London business day before the relevant Interest Period begins (or if not so reported, then as determined by the Bank from another recognized source or interbank quotation).

INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall indemnify Bank against Bank’s loss or expense as a consequence of (a) Borrower’s failure to make any payment when due under this Note, after any applicable grace period hereunder, (b) intentionally omitted, or (c) any failure to make a borrowing or conversion after giving notice thereof (“Indemnified Loss or Expense”). The amount of such Indemnified Loss or Expense shall be determined by Bank based upon the assumption that Bank funded 100% of that portion of the loan in the London interbank market.

DEFAULT RATE. In addition to all other rights contained in this Note, if a Default (as defined herein) occurs and as long as a Default continues, all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Interest

Rate plus 3% (“Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall also apply from acceleration until the Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in full.

INTEREST AND FEE(S) COMPUTATION (ACTUALI/360). Interest and fees, if any, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days in the applicable period (“Actual/360 Computation”). The Actual/360 Computation determines the annual effective yield by taking the stated (nominal) rate for a year’s period and then dividing said rate by 360 to determine the daily periodic rate to be applied for each day in the applicable period. Application of the Actual/360 Computation produces an annualized effective interest rate exceeding the nominal rate.

REPAYMENT TERMS. This Note shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly payments of principal of $11,244.44, plus accrued interest, commencing on June 24, 2002, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until fully paid. In any event, all principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable on May 24, 2009.

APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Monies received by Bank from any source for application toward payment of the Obligations shall be applied to accrued interest and then to principal. If a Default occurs, monies may be applied to the Obligations in any manner or order deemed appropriate by Bank.

If any payment received by Bank under this Note or other Loan Documents is rescinded, avoided or for any reason returned by Bank because of any adverse claim or threatened action, the returned payment shall remain payable as an obligation of all persons liable under this Note or other Loan Documents as though such payment had not been made.

DEFINITIONS. Loan Documents. The term “Loan Documents” used in this Note and the other Loan Documents refers to all documents executed in connection with or related to the loan evidenced by this Note and any prior notes which evidence all or any portion of the loan evidenced by this Note, and any letters of credit issued pursuant to any loan agreement to which this Note is subject, any applications for such letters of credit and any other documents executed in connection therewith or related thereto, and may include, without limitation, a commitment letter that survives closing, a loan agreement, this Note, guaranty agreements, security agreements, security instruments, financing statements, mortgage instruments, any renewals or modifications, whenever any of the foregoing are executed, but does not include swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101).

Certain Other Terms. All terms that are used but not otherwise defined in any of the Loan Documents shall have the definitions provided in the Uniform Commercial Code.

LATE CHARGE. If any payments are not timely made, Borrower shall also pay to Bank a late charge equal to 5% of each payment past due for 10 or more days.

Acceptance by Bank of any late payment without an accompanying late charge shall not be deemed a waiver of Bank’s right to collect such late charge or to collect a late charge for any subsequent late payment received.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND OTHER COLLECTION COSTS. Borrower shall pay all of Bank’s reasonable expenses incurred to enforce or collect any of the Obligations including, without limitation, reasonable arbitration, paralegals’, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, whether incurred without the commencement of a suit, in any trial, arbitration, or administrative proceeding, or in any appellate or bankruptcy proceeding.

USURY. If at any time the effective interest rate under this Note would, but for this paragraph, exceed the maximum lawful rate, the effective interest rate under this Note shall be the maximum lawful rate, and any amount received by Bank in excess of such rate shall be applied to principal and then to fees and expenses, or, if no such amounts are owing, returned to Borrower.

CURE PERIOD. Except as provided below, a Default based upon Nonpayment, as defined herein, may be cured within 5 days of the date such payment is due and any other Default may be cured within 10 days after written notice thereof is mailed to the Borrower by Bank. The Borrower’s right to cure shall be applicable only to curable defaults and shall not apply, without limitation, to Defaults based upon False Warranty or Cessation; Bankruptcy. Borrower shall have the right to cure a Default requiring mailing of notice only once during any 12 month period. Bank shall not exercise its remedies to collect the Obligations except as Bank reasonably deems necessary to protect its interest in collateral securing the Obligations during a cure period.
