(The Note, the Loan Agreement, as hereinafter defined, and all Collateral, may be referred to collectively as the “Loan Documents”.

4. INTEREST RATE. The unpaid principal balance of the Loan evidenced by this Note from day to day outstanding which is not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the Prime Rate (the “Interest Rate”); provided, however, the Interest Rate shall never be less than 3.25% per annum. The Interest Rate shall be subject to adjustments for changes monthly in the Prime Rate and such adjustment shall become effective on the date of change. For the purposes of this Section, “Prime Rate” shall mean the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, which is the Prime Rate published in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal
from time to time, provided that if The Wall Street Journal ceases to publish the “Prime Rate” at any time during the term of this Note, the Prime Rate shall be the base rate published or announced by a generally recognized national publication or financial institution, as selected by Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion.

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a daily amount of interest accruing on the daily outstanding principal balance during a three hundred sixty (360) day year multiplied by the actual number of days the principal is outstanding during such applicable interest period. Such Prime Rate is established by Lender as an index or base rate and may or may not at any time be the best or lowest rate of interest offered by Lender.

Should Borrower fail to pay the installments of interest or principal (if applicable) on any due date provided for herein or within ten (10) days thereafter, then Borrower further promises to pay a late payment charge equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount of the unpaid installment as liquidated compensation to Lender for the extra expense to Lender to process and administer the late payment, Borrower agreeing, by execution hereof, that any other measure of compensation for a late payment is speculative and impossible to compute. This provision for late charges shall not be deemed to extend the time for payment or be a “grace period” or “cure period” that gives Borrower a right to cure a default. Imposition of late charges is not contingent upon the giving of any notice or lapse of any cure period provided for in the Loan Documents and shall not be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy of Lender, including without limitation, acceleration of this Note.
8. DEFAULT RATE.

(c) Any default shall occur in the due observance or performance of any covenant, agreement or other provision of this Note or the other Loan Documents other than for the payment of money, which is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lender to Borrower, unless, however, such default cannot through the exercise of reasonable diligence be cured within such thirty (30) day period, in which case, Borrower shall have such longer period of time as is reasonably necessary to cure such default, but not longer than ninety (90) days in any and all events, provided that it commences such cure within the initial thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion;

(g) A default in or breach of any covenant in the Loan Documents which is not cured within the applicable grace or curative period therefor.

Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the Liabilities and, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, waives notice of default, non-payment, partial payment, presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, and all other notices to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled or which might be required by law to be given by Lender. Guarantor waives the right to marshalling of Borrower’s assets or any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws, to the extent permitted by law, and any other protection granted by law to guarantors, now or hereafter in effect with respect to any action or proceeding brought by Lender against it.

A party may change its address by giving written notice to the other party as specified herein .
8.14. Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Florida without reference to conflict of laws principles.

8.16. Continuing Enforcement. If, after receipt of any payment of all or any part of the Liabilities, Lender is compelled to surrender such payment to any person or entity for any reason (including, without limitation, a determination that such payment is void or voidable as a preference or fraudulent conveyance, an impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds), then this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, and Guarantor shall be liable to the extent provided in Section 1 hereof. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and shall remain effective notwithstanding the payment of the Liabilities, the cancellation of the Note, this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, the release of any security interest, lien or encumbrance securing the Liabilities or any other action which Lender may have taken in reliance upon its receipt of such payment. Any

cancellation, release or other such action shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon any payment of the Liabilities having become final and irrevocable.
8.17. Waiver of Jury Trial. GUARANTOR AND LENDER AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM, BROUGHT BY LENDER OR GUARANTOR ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT HERETO OR THERETO, SHALL BE TRIED ONLY BY A COURT AND NOT BY A JURY. LENDER AND GUARANTOR EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND INTELLIGENTLY, AND WITH THE ADVICE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. FURTHER, GUARANTOR WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS SECTION IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS GUARANTY AND THAT LENDER WOULD NOT EXTEND CREDIT TO BORROWER IF THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION WERE NOT A PART OF THIS GUARANTY.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor. intending to be legally bound, has duly executed and delivered this Limited Guaranty Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
