4.01    Base Rate: LIBOR Variable Base. The Base Rate is the LIBOR Variable Base. The “LIBOR Variable Base” for any day during a given month means the one-month LIBOR rate, as made available by the LIBOR Index Source, rounded up to the nearest .05 percent, plus the Applicable Margin. The LIBOR Variable Base shall be effective on the first day of the month and remains constant for such month.

4.02    1-, 3-, 5-, 7- or 10-Year Fixed Rate Options. Borrower understands and agrees that the availability of any Fixed Rate Option will be determined at Lender’s (and participant’s, if applicable) sole discretion. Subject to the preceding sentence, a Fixed Rate Loan Segment may be priced with a fixed rate equal to the 1-, 3-, 5-, 7- or 10-year Fixed Rate Options, as defined herein, plus the Applicable Margin. With these Fixed Rate Options, (a) rates may be fixed for Interest Periods, as defined herein, of 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years; and (b) rates may only be fixed on a Pricing Date to take effect on such Pricing Date. For purposes hereof: (i) the “1-, 3-, 5-, 7- and 10-year Fixed Rate Options” shall mean the rate for the all-in cost of the corresponding term for Farm Credit Medium Term Notes, rounded to the nearest .05 percent, as made available by the Index Source on the Pricing Date; and (ii) “Interest Period” shall mean a period commencing on the Pricing Date and ending on the Fixed Rate Maturity Date. The Fixed Rate Maturity Date for a given Fixed Rate Option shall be the corresponding 1-, 3-, 5-, 7- or 10-year anniversary of the first day of the month following the Pricing Date if the Pricing Date is not the first day of a month or the corresponding anniversary of the Pricing Date if such Pricing Date is the first day of a month.

4.03    Pricing Elections. Upon irrevocable Notice to Lender in accordance with Paragraph 2.04 above, as to principal (i) in the amount of an advance, (ii)  in the Base Rate Loan Segment, or (iii)  in a Fixed Rate Loan Segment on a Fixed Rate Maturity Date, Borrower may elect to designate all or any part of the advance or of the Adjusted Principal Balance of such Loan Segment on such Pricing Date to bear interest at any Rate Option described herein; provided however, that (1) there is no Event of Default or Incipient Default, (2) no Fixed Rate Option may be selected which would have

Note and Loan Agreement (Seventh Avenue Poulsbo, LLC/Note No. 6097341)
10



for its Fixed Rate Maturity Date a date later than the Loan Maturity Date, and (3) there are no more than three Fixed Rate Loan Segments at any one time. If Borrower does not provide Lender irrevocable Notice of election of a Rate Option on a Fixed Rate Maturity Date for a Fixed Rate Loan Segment, the Adjusted Principal Balance of such Loan Segment will be priced at the Base Rate effective on such Pricing Date.

4.04    Single Base Rate Loan Segment. If on a Pricing Date, any Loan Segment is priced under the Base Rate resulting in more than one Loan Segment priced under the Base Rate, all Loan principal priced under the Base Rate will be treated as a single Base Rate Loan Segment by combining the Adjusted Principal Balances of such Loan Segments on such Pricing Date.

4.05    Interest Rates. The interest rate used herein does not necessarily represent the lowest rates charged by Lender on its loans. The interest rates described herein are per annum rates. Interest rates using the LIBOR Index Source are calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed for a 360 day year. Interest rates using any other Index Source are calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the year for the actual number of days in the year.

4.06    Index and Index Source. If the Index or Index Source provided for herein cannot be ascertained during the Note term, Lender will choose a new index or Index Source which it determines, in its sole discretion, is comparable to be effective upon notification thereof to Borrower.

4.07    Additional Pricing Options. In the event Borrower should desire to price a Loan Segment using the Index, Pricing Date and margin other than as provided for herein, Borrower may request Lender to quote a rate and lock-in fee for an identified principal amount and desired pricing option. Lender will provide Borrower such a quote if available under Lender’s then existing policies and procedures, and shall provide Borrower the option to elect such a rate upon payment of the lock-in fee, if required, which rate shall be effective on the Pricing Date for the Loan Segment, upon terms and conditions and within timeframes as Lender may prescribe at the time of the quote.

4.08    Changes in Circumstances. In the event that, on any date on which an interest rate for pricing this Note is to be determined, Lender determines that the applicable interest rate does not adequately reflect the cost to Lender of making or maintaining its loans, Lender shall promptly give notice of such facts to Borrower. Within ten days thereof, Borrower shall make an appointment to meet with Lender to determine a new adjustment factor for pricing this Note. Any change to the adjustment factor shall require mutual written consent and agreement.

5.    Payment.

5.01    Payment of Loan Segments. Each Loan Segment shall be repaid in equal monthly principal and interest payments, based on the Adjusted Principal Balance of each Loan Segment amortized over a period beginning with the date of creation of the Loan Segment and ending on January 1, 2033. Such payments shall be due and payable, commencing on the first day of the month beginning on February 1, 2013, and shall continue on the first day of each month thereafter until the Loan is paid in full. Provided however, so long as there is no Event of Default or Incipient Default, upon a Pricing Date for a Loan Segment, Lender will reamortize the Adjusted Principal Balance of the Loan Segment on such Pricing Date over the period from such Pricing Date to January 1, 2033.

5.02    Payment in Full on Loan Maturity Date. The unpaid principal balance, unpaid interest thereon, and other amounts due under this Note and the other Loan Documents shall be paid in full on the Loan Maturity Date. The payment required in Paragraph 5.01 results in a balloon payment being due on the Loan Maturity Date.

5.03    Manner of Payments. Upon Lender’s written request, payments shall be electronically submitted no later than 10:00 a.m. Spokane time on the date specified for payment. If any payment date is not a Business Day, then payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day. All sums payable to Lender hereunder shall be paid directly to Lender in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars. Lender shall send to Borrower periodic statements of all amounts due hereunder at applicable interest rates, which statements shall be considered correct and conclusively binding on Borrower in all respects and for all purposes unless Borrower notifies Lender in writing of any objections

Note and Loan Agreement (Seventh Avenue Poulsbo, LLC/Note No. 6097341)
11



within 15 days of receipt of any such statement, provided, however, that failure to receive a periodic statement shall not excuse payment of any sums payable hereunder.

5.04    Application of Payments. Lender may apply any payment received from or on behalf of Borrower to principal, interest, or any part of the indebtedness, including any fees and expenses due under this Note or any other Loan Document, as Lender, in its sole discretion, may choose. Subject to the preceding sentence, Borrower may at any time pay any amount of principal in advance of its maturity subject to the Prepayment Fee described herein. Unless Lender otherwise elects, so long as there is no Event of Default, principal prepayments shall reduce the balance owing and discharge the indebtedness at an earlier date, but shall not alter the obligation to pay scheduled payments until the indebtedness is paid in full. In addition, so long as there is no Event of Default or Incipient Default, principal prepayments shall be applied to principal under a given Loan Segment, as selected by Borrower, in inverse order of their maturity, and shall not alter the obligation to pay scheduled payments until the indebtedness for each Loan Segment is paid in full.

5.05    Right of Setoff.    If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Note or any other Loan Document to Lender, irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under this Note or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of Lender under this Paragraph 5.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Lender may have.

5.06    Disbursements.    Borrower agrees that all Loan funds disbursed shall be used only for the Loan Purpose.

6.    Prepayment and Breakage Fees.

6.01    Prepayment Fee. The following Prepayment Fee shall apply to the Loan and supersede and replace any inconsistent terms in the Prior Note and this Note. The Loan is subject to the following Prepayment Fee.

a.    Exemption to Prepayment Fee. Principal prepayments made while a Loan Segment is priced under the Base Rate shall not be subject to a Prepayment Fee. In addition, there is no Prepayment Fee for any prepaid principal if a prepayment is received on a Fixed Rate Maturity Date for the Loan Segment being prepaid. Other prepayments of principal shall be subject to a Prepayment Fee, as described below.

b.    “Prepayment” Defined. For purposes of this Note, “prepayment” shall mean any instance wherein the indebtedness is partially or fully satisfied in any manner prior to a payment due date whether voluntarily or involuntarily (excluding scheduled payments that have been paid) pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Prepayment shall include, but not be limited to: (i) any payment after an Event of Default under the Loan Documents; (ii) payment to Lender by any holder of an interest in any Collateral; (iii) any payment after the Loan Maturity Date is accelerated for any reason; (iv) payment resulting from any sale or transfer of Collateral pursuant to foreclosure, sale under power, judicial order or trustee’s sale; and (v) payment by sale, transfer or offsetting credit in connection with or under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or receivership or similar proceedings under any statute of the United States or any state thereof involving Borrower or the Collateral. In the event of any acceleration of the Loan Maturity Date, the amount due hereunder shall include the charge which would be due under the Prepayment Fee in the event of a voluntary prepayment at the time of such acceleration, and the date of acceleration of the Loan Maturity Date will be deemed to be the date of prepayment.

c.    Prepayment Fee. The “Prepayment Fee” is an amount intended to reasonably compensate Lender for the loss of the intended benefit of Lender’s bargain in the case of a prepayment. Borrower and Lender intend that the principal balance of each Loan Segment will yield to Lender an annual return after the date the Loan Segment is prepaid of not less than the annual return for the period when the interest rate is fixed. In the event of a prepayment, Lender

Note and Loan Agreement (Seventh Avenue Poulsbo, LLC/Note No. 6097341)
12



will lose the intended benefit of its bargain. Accordingly, the Prepayment Fee is intended to reasonably compensate Lender for such loss and costs. The Prepayment Fee shall be payable on demand, and shall be an amount calculated on a make-whole basis, as calculated under Lender’s then current methodology.

6.02    Breakage Fee. In the event of an occurrence under subparagraphs a. or b. below, then Borrower shall immediately pay Lender, on demand, a Breakage Fee in an amount calculated on a make-whole basis, as calculated under Lender’s then current methodology:

a.    Borrower provides Lender Notice that Loan principal is to be priced using a Fixed Rate Option, after which Borrower revokes such Notice; or

b.    Borrower provides Lender Notice that Loan principal priced under a Fixed Rate Option is to be repriced or prepaid on other than a Pricing Date, after which Borrower revokes such Notice or fails to prepay pursuant to the Notice.

6.03    Participation. Participant(s), if any, may calculate a Prepayment Fee or Breakage Fee using the calculation on a make-whole basis, as calculated under Lender’s then current methodology, provided however, a participant may use a different methodology than Lender.

7.    Default.

7.01    Events of Default. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Note. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:

a.    Borrower fails to make any payment of principal, interest or other costs, fees or expenses when due and payable or to perform any obligation or covenant as and when required under the Loan Documents for the Loan or any other note, loan or contract Borrower, or any of them, may have with Lender or an affiliate of Lender.

b.    Any financial statement, representation, warranty or certificate made or furnished by Borrower or Guarantor to Lender in connection with the Loan, or as an inducement to Lender to enter into the Loan is materially false, incorrect, or incomplete when made.

c.    Any Bankruptcy Event shall occur with respect to Borrower, or any Bankruptcy Event that has a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower shall occur with respect to any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries.

d.    Guarantor shall revoke, repudiate or terminate the Guaranty as reaffirmed by the Reaffirmation of Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity.

e.    This Note or any other Loan Document ceases to be valid and binding on Borrower or Guarantor or is declared null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof is contested by Borrower or Guarantor or Borrower or Guarantor denies that it has any or further liability under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

7.02    Acceleration. In the event of any uncured Event of Default beyond any applicable cure periods provided for in the Loan Documents, at Lender's option, without notice or demand, the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due shall immediately become due and payable.

7.03    Default Interest Rate. The Default Interest Rate applicable to a delinquent payment for a Loan Segment shall equal four percent (4%) per annum above the interest rate in effect on such Loan Segment at the time such payment was due, which rate shall accrue on the total amount of the payment due until paid, accelerated or upon maturity; provided however, that upon acceleration and/or maturity, the Default Interest Rate shall be equal to and remain at four percent (4%) per annum above the interest rate in effect for each Loan Segment at the time of acceleration or maturity and shall accrue on the entire unpaid balance of the Loan Segment until paid in full.


Note and Loan Agreement (Seventh Avenue Poulsbo, LLC/Note No. 6097341)
13



7.04    Notice and Opportunity to Cure. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents, Lender shall not accelerate the maturity of the Loan (a) because of a monetary default (defined below), unless the monetary default is not cured within ten days of its due date, or (b) because of a nonmonetary default (defined below), unless the nonmonetary default is not cured within 30 days after (i) the date on which Lender transmits by facsimile, mails or delivers written notice of the nonmonetary default to Borrower, or (ii) the date on which Borrower notifies Lender (verbally or in writing) of the nonmonetary default. For purposes of this Note, the term “monetary default” means a failure by Borrower to make any payment required of it pursuant to the Note or any other Loan Document, and the term “nonmonetary default” means a failure by Borrower or any other Person to perform any obligation contained in the Loan Documents, other than the obligation to make payments provided for in the Loan Documents.

9.    Miscellaneous Terms.

9.01    Governing Law. The substantive Laws of the State of Washington shall apply to govern the construction of the Loan Documents and the rights and remedies of the parties except where the location of the Collateral for the Loan may require the application of the Laws of another state or where federal Laws, including the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended, may be applicable.

The Loan Documents may be signed and transmitted by FAX, telecopy, emailed .PDF or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on Borrower, Guarantor and Lender. Lender may also require that any such document and signature be confirmed by manually-signed original thereof; provided however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any FAX document or signature. Email, internet or intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements, billing statements and other like information and to distribute Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto and may not be used for any other purpose, unless approved by Lender and the parties hereto; provided that, an original signed document that has been scanned and attached to an email shall have the same force and effect as a document sent by FAX.

9.03    General Provisions. Borrower agrees to this Note as of the date above written. Borrower waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest and diligence in enforcing payment of this Note.

Lender may at any time, without notice, release all or any part of the security for this Note, including any real estate and or personal property covered by the Loan Documents; grant extensions, deferments, renewals or reamortizations of any part of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note over any period of time; and release from personal liability any one or more of the parties who are or may become liable for the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note without affecting the personal liability of any other party. Lender may exercise any and all rights and remedies available at law, in equity and provided herein and in the other Loan Documents. Any delay or omission by Lender in exercising a right or remedy shall not waive that or any other right or remedy. No waiver of default by Lender shall operate as a waiver of the same or any other default on a future occasion. Lender shall not be obligated to renew the Note or any part thereof or to make additional or future loans to Borrower. Borrower agrees to take any action requested by Lender to perfect or continue the lien and priority of the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, any action requested by any governmental agency.

No Indemnitee referred to in Subparagraph b. above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Note or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated.
