[P~ Addmss]
1. PARTIES
"Borrower" means each person signing at the end of this Note, and the person's successors and assigns. "Lender" means
Columbia National Incorporated
and its successors and assigns.
2. BORROWER'S PROMISE TO PAY; INTEREST
In return for a loan received from Lender, Borrower promises to pay the principal sum of One Hundred Fourteen
Thousand Six Hundred and 00/100
Dollars (U.S. $ 114,60 o. 00 ), plus interest, to the order of Lender. Interest will be charged on unpaid principal,
from the date of disbursement of the loan proceeds by Lender, at a rate of Seven and No-Thousandths
percent ( 7. 000 %) per year until the full amount of principal has been paid. The interest rate may change
in accordance with Paragraph 5(C) of this Note.
3. PROMISE TO PAY SECURED
Borrower's promise to pay:is secured by a mortgage, deed of trnst or similar security instrument that is dated the same date
aa this Note and called the "Security Instrument." That Security Instrument protects the Lender from losses which might result
if Borrower defaults under this Note.
4. MAthqNER OF PAYMENT
(A) Time
Borrower shall make a payment of principal and interest to Lender on the first day of each month beginning on
October i , 1996 . Any principal and interest remaining on the first day of September 1
2026 , will be due on that date, which is called the "Maturity Date.'
6) Place
Paymant shall be made at P.O. Box 3050, Columbia, MD 21045-6050
or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing
by notice to Borrower.
(C) Amount
Initially, each monthly payment of principal and interest will be in the amount of U.S. $ 762.44
This amount will be part of a larger monthly payment required by the Security Instrument that shall be applied to principal,
interest and other items in the order described in the Security Instrument. This amount may change in accordance with
Paragraph 5(E) of this Note.
8. INTEREST RATE AND MONTHLY PAYMENT CHANGES
(A) Change Date
The interest rate may change on the first day of January 1 , 1998 , and on that day of each
succeeding year. "Change Date" means each date on which the interest rate could change.
01) The Index
Beginning with the first Change Date, the interest rate will be based on an Index. 'Index" means the weekly
average yield on Uulted States Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year, aa made available by the Federal
Reserve Board. "Current Index" means the most recent Index figure available 30 days before the Change Date. If the Index (as
8199722
v590 08/19/96 16: 11:14
03105841
defined above) is no longer available, Lender will use as a new Index any index prescribed by the Secretary (as defined in
Paragraph 7(B)). Lender will give Borrower notice of the new Index.
(C) Culculation of Inter~t Rate Changes
Before each Change Date, Lender will calculate a new interest rate by adding a margin of Two and One-Half
percentage point(s) ( 2.500 % ) to the Current Index and
rounding the sum to the nearest one-eighth of one percentage poim (0.125%). Subject to the limits stated in Paragraph 5CD) of
this Note, this rounded amount will be the new interest rate until the next Change Date.
CD) Limits on Interest Rate Changes
The existing interest rate will never increase or decrease by more than one percentage point (1.0%) on any single
Change Date. The interest rate will never be more than five percentage points (5.0%) higher or lower than the initial interest
rate stated in Paragraph 2 of this Note.
(E) Calculation of Payment Change
If the interest rate changes on a Change Date, Lender will calculate the amount of monthly payment of principal and
interest which would be necessary to repay the unpaid principal balance in full at the Maturity Date at the new interest rate
through substantially equal payments. In making such calculation, Lender will use the unpaid prihcipal balance which would be
owed on the Change Date if there had been no default in payment on the Note, reduced by the amount of any prepayments to
principal. The result of this calculation will be the amount of the new monthly payment of principal and interest.
(FI Notice of Changes
Lender will give notice to Borrower of any change in the interest rate and monthly payment amount. The notice must
be given at least 25 days before the new monthly payment amount is due, and must set forth (i) the date of the notice, (ii) the
Change Date, (iii) the old interest rate, (iv) the new interest rate, (v) the new monthly payment amount, (vi) the Current Index
and the date it was published, (vii) the method of calculating the change in monthly payment amount, and (viii) any other
information which may be required by law from time to time.
(G) Effective Date of Changes
A new interest rate calculated in accordance with Paragraphs 5(C) and 5(D) of this Note will become effective on the
Change Date. Borrower shall make a payment ia the new monthly amount beginning on the first payment date which occurs at
least 25 days after Lender has given Borrower the notice of changes required by Paragraph 5(F) of this Note. Borrower shall
have no obligation to pay any increase in the monthly payment amount calculated in accordance with Paragraph 5(E) of this
Note for any payment date occurring less than 25 days after Lender has given the required notice. If the monthly payment
amount calculated in accordance with Paragraph 5(E) of this Note decreased, but Lender failed to give timely notice of the
decrease and Borrower made any monthly payment amounts exceedIng the payment amount which should have been stated in a
timely notice, then Borrower has the option to either (i) demand the return to Borrower of any excess payment, with interest
thereon at the Note rate (a rate equal to the interest rate which should have been stated in a timely notice), or (ii) request that
any excess payment, with interest thereon at the Note rate, be applied as payment of principal. Lender's obligation to return any
excess payment with interest on demand is not assignable even if this Note is otherwise assigned before the demand for return is
made.
6. BORROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY
Borrower has the right to pay the debt evidenced by this Note, in whole or in part, without charge or penalty, on the first
day of any month. Lender shall accept prepayment on other days provided that borrower pays interest on the amount prepaid for
the remainder of the month to the extent'required by Lender and permitted by regulations of the Secretary. If Borrower makes a
partial prepayment, there will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of the monthly payment unless Lender agrees in
writing to those changes.
7. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY
(A) Late Charge for Overdue Payments
If Lender has not received the full monthly payment required by the Security Instrument, as described in Paragraph
4(C) of this Note, by the end of fifteen calendar days after the payment is due, Lender may collect a late charge in the amount
of Four and No-Thousandths percent ( 4. 000 %) of the overdue amount
of each payment.
(B) Default
If Borrower defaults by failing to pay in full any monthly payment, then Lender may, except as limited by regulations
of the Secretary in the case of payment defaults, require immediate payment in full of the principal balance remaining due and
all accrued interest. Lender may choose not to exemise this option without waiving its rights in the event of any subsequent
v590 08/19/96 16:11:14 03105841 ,
default. This Note does not authorize acceleration when not permitted by HUD regulations. As used in this Note, "Secretary"
means the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or his or her designee.
(C) Payment of Coots and Expenses
If Lender has required immediate payment in full, as described above, Lender may require Borrower to pay costs and
expenses including reasonable and customary attorneys' fees for enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by applicable
law. Such fees and costs shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the same rate as the principal of this Note.
8. WAIVERS
Borrower and any other person who has obligations under this Note waive the rights of presentment and notice of
dishonor. "Presentment" meam the right to require Lender to demand payment of amounts due. "Notice of dishonor" means
the right to require Lender to give notice to other persons that alhounts due have not been paid.
9. GIVING OF NOTICES
Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice that must be given to Borrower under this Note will be given
by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to Borrower at the property address above or at a different address if
Borrower has given Lender a notice of Borrower's different address.
Any notice that must be given to Lender under this Note will be given by first class mail to Lender at the address stated in

Reserve Board. "Cuixent Index" means the most recent Index figure available 30 days before the Change Date. If the Index (as

defined above) is no longer available, Lender will use as a new Index any index prescribed by the Secretary (as defined in
Paragraph 7(B)). Lender will give Borrower notice of the new Index.
(C) Calculation of Interest Rate Changes
Before each Change Date, Lender will calculate a new interest rate by adding a margin of Two and One-flail
percentage point(s) ( 2.5OO %) to the Current Index and
rounding the sum to the nearest one-eighth of one percentage point (0.125 %): Subject to the limits stated in Paragraph 5(D) of
this Note, this rounded amount will be the new interest rate until the next Change Date.
(D) Limits on Interest Rate Changes
The existing interest rate will never increase or decrease by more than one percentage point (1.0%) on any single
Change Date. The interest rate will never be more than five pe[centage points (5.0%) higher or lower than the initial interest
rate stated in Paragraph 2 of this Note.
(E) Calculation of Paymen~ Change
If the interest rate changes on a Change Date, Lender will calenlate the amount of monthly payment of principal and
interest which would be necessary to repay the unpaid principal balance in full at the Maturity Date at the new interest rate
through substantially equal payments. In making such calculation, Lender will use the unpaid principal balance which would be
owed on the Change Date if there had been no default in payment on the Note, reduced by the amount of any prepayments to
principal. The result of this calculation will be the amount of the new monthly payment of principal and interest.
(F) Notice of Changes
Lender will give notice to Borrower of any change in the interest rate and monthly payment amount. Thc notice must
be given at least 25 days before the new monthly payment amount is due, and must set forth (i) the date of thc notice, (ii) the
Change Date, (iii) the old interest rate, (iv) the new imcrest rate, (v) the new monthly payment amount, (vi) the Currant Index
and the date it was published, (vii) the method of calculating the change in monthly payment amunm, and (viii) any other
information which may be required by law from time to time.
(G) Effective Date of changes
A new interest rate calculated in accordance with Paragraphs 5(C) and 5(D) of this Note will become effective on the
Change Date. Borrower shall make a payment in the new monthly amount beginning on the first payment date which occurs at
least 25 days after Lender has given Borrower the notice of changes required by Paragraph 5(F) of this Note. Borrower shall
have no obligation to pay any increase in the monthly payment amount calculated in accordance with Paragraph 5(E) of this
Note for any payment date occurring less than 25 days after Lender has given the required notice. If the monthly payment
amount calculated in accordance with Paragraph 5(E) of this Note decreased, but Lender failed to give timely notice of the
decrease and Borrower made any monthly payment amounts exceeding the payment amount which should have bean stated in a
timely notice, then Borrower has the option to either (i) demand the return to Borrower of any excess payment, with interest
thereon at the Note rate (a rate equal to the interest rate which should have been stated in a timely notice), or (ii) request that
any excess payment, with interest thereon a~ the Note rate, be applied as payment of principal. Lender's obligation to return any
excess payment with interest on demand is not assignable even if this Note is otherwise assigned before the demand for return is
made.

day of any month. Lender shall accept prepayment on other days provided that borrower pays interest on the amount prepaid for
the remainder of the month to the extent'required by Lender and permitted by regulations of the Secretary. If Borrower makes a
partial prepayment, them will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of the monthly paymem unless Lender agrees in
writing to those changes.
7. BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY
(A) Late Charge for Overdue Payments

of Four and No-Thousandths percent ( 4.0 0 0 %) of the overdue amount

all accrued interest. Lender may choose not to exercise this option without waiving its rights in the event of any subsequent
default. This Note does not authorize acceleration when not permitted by HUD regulations. As used in this Note, "Secretary"
means the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or his or her designee.
(C) Payment of Costs and Expenses

expenses including reasonable and customary attorneys' fees for enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by applicable
law. Such fees and costs shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the same rate as the principal of this Note.
