Disbursement

Interest shall accrue from the date of disbursement of the principal amount until paid, both before and after judgment, in accordance with the terms set forth herein.

Interest Rate Election

From the Effective Date through the completion of the Draw Period (or thereafter if Borrower fails to elect to convert the interest rate), interest on the entire outstanding principal balance hereunder shall accrue based on the Ninety Day LIBOR Rate.

Not less than three Banking Business Days prior to the end of the Draw Period, Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of its election for the entire outstanding principal balance hereunder to accrue interest based on either the Ninety Day LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Rate for a specified Interest Period.  Upon the expiration of any elected Interest Period, the interest rate hereunder shall automatically convert to one based on the Ninety Day LIBOR Rate unless Borrower gives three Banking Business Days prior written notice to Lender to renew the LIBOR Rate for a specified Interest Period; provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any such election.  

Any election to convert to an interest rate based on the LIBOR Rate for a specified Interest Period may not be changed after notice is given by Borrower hereunder without consent of Lender until the expiration of the selected Interest Period.  

Interest Based on Ninety Day LIBOR Rate

Interest based on the Ninety Day LIBOR Rate shall be calculated as follows:

1.

Interest shall be at a variable rate computed on the basis of a 360 day year, actual days elapsed, at the Ninety Day LIBOR Rate from time to time in effect, adjusted as of any change in the Ninety Day LIBOR Rate, plus the Applicable Margin.

2.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that (a) quotations of interest rates in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities are not being provided for purposes of Lender determining the Ninety Day LIBOR Rate, (b) the Ninety Day LIBOR Rate does not adequately cover the cost to Lender of making or maintaining advances based on the Ninety Day LIBOR Rate, or (c) the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for Lender to offer loans based on the Ninety Day LIBOR Rate, then (i) the right of Borrower to request interest pricing based on the Ninety Day LIBOR Rate shall be suspended until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, and (ii) upon notice to Borrower by Lender, the outstanding principal amount of the balances based on the Ninety Day LIBOR Rate shall be immediately converted to a balance based on the Ninety Day FHLB Rate plus Applicable Margin.  Any prepayment based upon such action shall not be subject to any prepayment fees or charges.

Interest Based on LIBOR Rate

Interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be calculated as follows:

1.

Interest shall be at a rate computed on the basis of a 360 day year at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin.

2.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that (a) quotations of interest rates in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities are not being provided for purposes of Lender determining the LIBOR Rate, (b) the LIBOR Rate does not adequately cover the cost to Lender of making or maintaining advances based on the LIBOR Rate, or (c) the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for Lender to offer loans based on the LIBOR Rate, then (i) the right of Borrower to request interest pricing based on the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, and (ii) upon notice to Borrower by Lender, the outstanding principal amount of the balances based on the LIBOR Rate shall be immediately converted to a balance based on the FHLB Rate plus Applicable Margin.  Any prepayment based upon such action shall not be subject to any prepayment fees or charges.

Prepayment

Borrower may prepay all or any portion of this Promissory Note at any time without penalty or premium; provided, however, that in the event of any voluntary or involuntary prepayment of any LIBOR Rate based balance prior to the end of an Interest Period, Borrower shall make Lender whole and Borrower shall pay to Lender all breakage costs incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment and compensate Lender for any actual out-of-pocket loss suffered by reason of such principal payment not being made at the end of the Interest Period or as scheduled.  Such costs and losses to Lender shall be limited to any loss or breakage costs arising from the re-employment of funds at rates lower than the rate provided by this Promissory Note, cost to Lender of such funds, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by them in order to make or maintain the loan evidenced by this Promissory Note and any related costs.  Unless specified otherwise by Borrower, (a) prepayments of principal shall be applied first to outstanding LIBOR Rate based balances, and (b) prepayments of principal applied to LIBOR Rate based balances should be made in the principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the LIBOR Rate based balance, if any, that has an Interest Period ending on such date of prepayment, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may, at its option, defer the balance of the prepayment to be applied against any other LIBOR Rate based balance until the next following Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate based balance; provided that cash in an amount equal to the amount of any prepayment so deferred shall be deposited in a cash collateral account maintained with the Lender.

Any prepayment received by Lender after 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time (whichever is in effect on the date the prepayment is received) shall be deemed received on the following Banking Business Day.

General

Upon default in payment of any principal or interest when due, whether due at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, all outstanding principal shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date when due until paid, both before and after judgment.

This Promissory Note is made in accordance with the Loan Agreement and is secured by the collateral identified in and contemplated by the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, that certain Security Agreement (All Assets) dated July 16, 2009 between Borrower and Lender, and any and all amendments, modifications, and replacements thereof.
