Bank’s obligation to fund the Project shall conclude on the earlier of (i) the Completion Date, (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (iii) Borrower’s failure to comply in any material respect with Article III of this Agreement.

The Loan shall be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes. The Notes shall be executed and delivered by Borrower to Bank upon execution of this Loan Agreement. The Loan shall mature on the Maturity Date.

Commencing on the 19 day of the month following the Effective Date, and continuing on the 19 day of each month thereafter until March 19, 2013, Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest only as it accrues on the Notes; thereafter commencing on April 19, 2013 and continuing until all indebtedness of Borrower is paid in full, Borrower shall make level monthly payments of principal on the Notes (based upon the Advances then outstanding) on the basis of a 24 year amortization, plus interest calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year. The monthly principal and interest payments owed by Borrower shall be adjusted, on the 19 day of each June, September, December and March of each year to the extent of any corresponding change in the Base Rate in order to fully amortize the payments owed by Borrower under the Notes. Interest shall accrue in arrears on the unpaid principal amount of the Notes from time to time outstanding at the greater of (i) five percent (5%) per annum or (ii) Base Rate, plus 2.0% per annum, but never greater than the Maximum Legal Rate as described in the Notes.

Page 6

Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan solely for the refinancing and completion of proposed capital improvements of the Real Estate and such additional improvements as Bank shall in writing approve, personal property associated with the operation of the Real Estate and Borrower’s business and for working capital and closing costs.

In the event payments are not timely made pursuant to the provisions of the Notes and this Loan Agreement, Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to charge against Borrower’s accounts with the Bank any and all amounts due to the Bank from Borrower as of the day of such charge or any time thereafter that sufficient funds exist in such accounts; provided, nothing stated herein shall be construed to give Bank a security interest in accounts receivable of Borrower. In the event Bank shall make any such charge, it shall notify Borrower of the charge within three (3) business days. Payments not made when due shall bear an additional charge equal to five percent (5%) of the late payment.

2.2 Advances. Bank and Borrower agree that, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Loan Agreement, the Bank shall advance the Loan by (i) an Advance of $4,000,000.00 from Bank to Borrower upon the Effective Date and (ii) Advances pursuant to Draw Requests as specified in Section 2.3 in accordance with periodic progress payments consistent with percentages of completion specified in the contract for construction of the Project as requested by a Designated Person(s).

2.3 Requests for Advances.

(1) When Borrower desires to obtain an Advance other (than the initial Advance on the Effective Date), the Designated Person(s) shall submit to Bank a Draw Request, duly signed by Borrower and setting forth the information requested therein. The Draw Request shall be submitted by Borrower at least five (5) business days prior to the date of the requested advance. The Draw Request shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower to Bank that all representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Borrower Documents are true and correct as of the date of such Draw Request, except for such representations and warranties which, by their nature, would not be applicable as of the date of such Draw Request. At the time of submission of any Draw Request subsequent to the initial Draw Request, Borrower shall also submit the following to Bank, as indicated below:

(a) a final Sworn Construction Statement, signed by Borrower, reflecting the use to which the proceeds of the Loan have been applied, and showing all costs and expenses of any kind theretofore actually paid or incurred in constructing the Project;

(b) a written lien waiver from each Contractor for all work theretofore done and for all materials theretofore furnished by it for construction or installation of the Project, which lien waivers shall conform in form and amount to the Sworn Construction Statement; and

Page 7

(c) to the extent that any inspections are legally required, reasonable evidence that all work requiring inspection by all governmental authorities having jurisdiction has been duly inspected and approved by such authorities and that all requisite certificates of occupancy and other approvals have been issued.

(2) If, on the date that the Advance is desired, Borrower has performed all of its agreements and complied with all requirements theretofore to be performed or complied with hereunder, and upon approval by Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Bank shall disburse the amount of the requested advance to Borrower.

2.4 USDA Guaranty. Borrower agrees that, it shall, to the best of its reasonable ability, cooperate with Bank and take all steps as are necessary and required by Bank and the USDA to secure the final approval of the USDA to guaranty the refinancing of the Loan into long term financing as described in the USDA Conditional Commitments.

2.5 Prepayment Premium. In the event the Loan is paid in full prior to the date such amount is due, whether such payment is made voluntarily or involuntarily (including as a result of an acceleration under this Loan Agreement), the Borrower will pay to the Bank within 15 days of the Bank’s written demand a prepayment fee of 5.0% of the prepaid amount received during the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date. Thereafter, the Loan may be prepaid in part or full without penalty.

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain the amount of losses that would be incurred by the Bank if Borrower prepays the Loan as described above. Borrower therefore agrees that the foregoing prepayment fees are a reasonable and bargained for understanding between the parties.
