Authorized Representatives. During the Disbursement Period, the Bank may fund loan proceeds hereunder in reliance upon any oral, telephonic, written, teletransmitted or other request (the “Request(s)”) that the Bank in good faith believes to be valid and to have been made by Borrower or on behalf of Borrower by Michael I.

Notwithstanding that individual names may have been provided to the Bank, the Bank shall be permitted at any time to rely solely on an individual’s title to ascertain whether that individual is an Authorized Person. The Bank may act on the Request of any Authorized Person until the Bank shall have received from Borrower, and had a reasonable time to act on, written notice revoking the authority of such Authorized Person. Borrower acknowledges that the transmission between Borrower and Bank of any Request or other instructions involves the possibility of errors, omissions, misinterpretations, fraud and mistakes, and agrees to adopt such internal measures and operational procedures as may be necessary to prevent such occurrences. By reason thereof, Borrower hereby assumes all risk of loss and responsibility for, and releases and discharges the Bank from any and all responsibility or liability for, and agrees to indemnify, reimburse on demand and hold Bank harmless from, any and all claims, actions, damages, losses, liability and expenses by reason of, arising out of, or in any way connected with or related to: (i) Bank’s accepting, relying on and acting upon any Request or other instructions with respect to the loan evidenced by this Note; or (ii) any such error, omission, misinterpretation, fraud or mistake, provided such error, omission, misinterpretation, fraud or mistake is not directly caused by the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Bank shall incur no liability to Borrower or to any other person as a direct or indirect result of funding any advance pursuant to this paragraph.

Availability; Non-Revolving Credit. Non-Revolving Credit. Borrower agrees that any request for an advance must be accompanied with a copy of a Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission capital expenditure tracker report. Once the Disbursement Period ends, no further advances shall be Requested under this Note. The aggregate amount of all advances made pursuant to this Note shall not exceed the Principal Amount, but in the event of any excess advances, the amount of any such excess shall be due and payable immediately, with interest calculated at the applicable rate. Repayment of any portion of any advance made hereunder shall NOT increase the remaining availability for future advances.

Interest. The unpaid Principal Amount of this Note shall, at all times, earn interest calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days of each year (365 or 366), from and including the date the proceeds of this Note are disbursed to, but not including, the date all amounts hereunder are paid in full, at a rate per year which shall be:

During the Disbursement Period:

3.00 percentage points above One-Month LIBOR, adjusting daily.

During the Permanent Loan Period:

fixed at 1.80 percentage points above the sum of the yield on United States Treasury Obligations adjusted to a constant maturity of ten (10) years in effect two (2) New York Business Days prior to the Amortization Commencement Date, as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519), or by such other quoting service, index or commonly available source utilized by the Bank.

If no rate is specified above, interest shall accrue at the Maximum Legal Rate (defined below) for the applicable period.

Maximum Legal Rate. It is the intent of the Bank and Borrower that in no event shall interest be payable at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Legal Rate”). Solely to the extent necessary to prevent interest under this Note from exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate, Borrower agrees that any amount that would be treated as excessive under a final judicial interpretation of applicable law shall be deemed to have been a mistake and automatically canceled, and, if received by the Bank, shall be refunded to Borrower, without interest.

Default Rate. If an Event of Default (defined below) occurs, the interest rate on the unpaid Principal Amount shall immediately be automatically increased to five (5) percentage points per year above the otherwise applicable rate per year, and any judgment entered hereon or otherwise in connection with any suit to collect amounts due hereunder shall bear interest at such default rate.

Payments. Payments shall be made in immediately available United States funds at any banking office of the Bank.

Preauthorized Transfers from Deposit Account. If a deposit account number is provided in the following blank, Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to debit Borrower’s deposit account #___________________ with the Bank automatically for any amount which becomes due under this Note.

Interest Accrual; Application of Payments. Interest will continue to accrue on the actual principal balance outstanding until the Principal Amount is paid in full. All installment payments (excluding voluntary prepayments of principal) will be applied as of the date each payment is received and processed. Payments may be applied in any order in the sole discretion of the Bank, but, prior to an Event of Default, may be applied chronologically (i.e., oldest invoice first) to unpaid amounts due and owing, in the following order: first to accrued interest, then to principal, then to Escrow, then to late charges and other fees, and then to all other Expenses.

Repayment Terms. Borrower shall pay to the Bank the Principal Amount and all interest owing pursuant to this Note in installments as follows:

During the Disbursement Period:

All accrued and unpaid interest, in amounts that may vary, on the Payment Due Date of each month, beginning on the first Payment Due Date following the date of this Note, and continuing through and including the Amortization Commencement Date, or as otherwise invoiced by the Bank.

During the Permanent Loan Period:

(i) 119 consecutive level monthly installments consisting of both principal and interest, each in the amount that would result in the outstanding Principal Amount, as of the Amortization Commencement Date, plus interest at the applicable rate, being repaid in full over the course of the Amortization Period, due and payable on the First Installment Payment Date and each Payment Due Date thereafter, and

(ii) ONE (1) FINAL INSTALLMENT, due and payable on the Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the outstanding Principal Amount, together with all other amounts outstanding hereunder, including, without limitation, accrued interest, costs and expenses.

To the extent, if at all, that (i) the repayment terms of this Note contemplate level installments of principal and interest during any period in which the applicable interest rate is a variable rate (“Variable Rate P&I Period”), and (ii) during any such Variable Rate P&I Period, the applicable interest rate changes in accordance with the terms of this Note, the Bank may, but shall be under no obligation to, recalculate and adjust at any time the installment amount due and payable to the Bank, so as to appropriately reamortize the unpaid Principal Amount, as of the date of such adjustment through the Maturity Date (or such other date as may be provided for herein). Borrower understands that non-adjustment of the installment amount as described herein could result in a greater portion of the unadjusted installment amount being applied to interest due, leaving less available to reduce the Principal Amount balance, resulting in a higher than expected Principal Amount balance due and payable to the Bank on the Maturity Date. Absent manifest error, the Bank’s determination of any amount due in connection herewith shall be conclusive.

Late Charge. If Borrower fails to pay, within five (5) days of its due date, any amount due and owing pursuant to this Note or any other agreement executed and delivered to the Bank in connection with this Note, including, without limitation, any Escrow payment due and owing, Borrower shall immediately pay to the Bank a late charge equal to the greatest of (a) $50.00, (b) five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount or (c) the Bank’s then current late charge as announced from time to time. Notwithstanding the above, if this Note is secured by a one- to six-family owner-occupied residence, the late charge shall equal 2% of the delinquent amount and shall be payable if payment is not received within fifteen days of its due date.

Prepayment Premium. During the term of this Note, Borrower shall have the option of paying the unpaid Principal Amount to the Bank in advance of the Maturity Date, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time upon written notice received by the Bank at least three (3) days prior to making such payment; provided, however, as consideration for the privilege of making such prepayment, Borrower shall pay to the Bank a fee (the “Premium”) equal to the amount provided for on the attached Prepayment Premium Rider (or LIBOR Rate Rider, as applicable). Any partial prepayment of principal shall be posted as of the date received and applied in inverse order of maturity. With any prepayment in full of the Principal Amount balance, Borrower shall also pay to the Bank all accrued interest and Expenses owing pursuant to this Note. In the event the Maturity Date of this Note is accelerated following an Event of Default, the Bank’s right to collect the Premium, as liquidated damages, shall accrue immediately, with the amount of the Premium to be determined in accordance with the terms of this Note at the time of any actual prepayment or other satisfaction, in whole or in part, by any means, of the principal indebtedness evidenced by this Note. Any tender of payment by or on behalf of the Borrower made after such Event of Default to satisfy or reduce the principal indebtedness shall be expressly deemed a voluntary prepayment, in which case, to the extent permitted by law, the Bank shall be entitled to the amount necessary to satisfy the entire indebtedness, plus the appropriate Premium calculated in accordance with the terms of this Note.
