     A. A payment on the date of funding representing interest from the date of funding through December 5, 2006;
     B. On January 6, 2007 (which shall be the first Payment Date hereunder) and each Payment Date thereafter through and including the Maturity Date (as such date may be changed in accordance with Section 2.2.4 of the Loan Agreement), interest on the unpaid Principal calculated at the Interest Rate which has accrued through the last day of the Interest Period immediately preceding such Payment Date (the “Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount”).
     C. The balance of the principal sum of this Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
     1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given in that certain Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated the date hereof between Maker and Payee. The following terms have the meanings set forth below:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Payee exercises its right to change the Payment Date to a New Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.2.4 of the Loan Agreement, then from and after such election, each Interest Period shall be the period from the New Payment Date in each calendar month through the day immediately preceding the next succeeding New Payment Date.

     4. Loan Acceleration; Prepayment. The Debt shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Payee if any payment required in this Note is not paid on the date on which it is due (after giving effect to any grace periods applicable thereto) or upon the happening of any other Event of Default. Maker shall have no right to prepay or defease all or any portion of the Principal except in accordance with Sections 2.3.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.4 and 2.4 of the Loan Agreement.

The principal balance of this Note is subject to mandatory prepayment, without premium or penalty, in certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation, as more particularly set forth in Sections 2.3.2 and 7.4.2 of the Loan Agreement. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including permitted prepayments, of Principal shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.3.1 of the Loan Agreement. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Payee shall elect in Payee’s discretion.
     5. Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be payable upon demand from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
     6. Late Payment Charge. If any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document is not paid by Maker on the date on which it is due (other than amounts due and payable on the Maturity Date), Maker shall pay to Payee upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, in order to defray the expense incurred by Payee in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Payee for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.
