payment schedule: 60 monthly consecutive principal and interest payments in the initial amount of $1,375.00 each, beginning February 20,
2006, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances at an interest rate of 8.000% per annum; 179 monthly consecutive principal and
interest payments in the Initial amount of $1,438.70 each, beginning February 20, 2011, with interest; calculated on the unpaid principal
balances at an interest rate based on the Prime Rate as published in the Money Rate Section of the Wail Street Journal. If a range of rates is
published, the highest will be used. (currently 7.250%), plus a margin of 1,500 percentage points, resulting in an initial interest rate of 8.750%:
and one principal and interest payment of $1.438.45 on January 20.20M with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances at an
interest rate based on the Prime Rate as published in the Money Rate Section of the Wall Street Journal. If a range of rates is published, the
highest wig be used. (currently 7.250%), plus a margin of 1.500 percentage points, resulting in an initial interest rate of 8.750%. This
estimated final payment is based on the assumption that all payments will be made exactly as scheduled and that the index does not change;
the actual final payment will be for all prlncipal and accrued interest not yet paid, together with any other unpaid amounts under this (dote.
Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid Iterest; then to principal; then to
any unpaid collection costs; and then to any late charges. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 3651360 basis: that is, by
applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual
number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as
Lender may designate in writing.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on,this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index
which is the Prime Rate as published in the Money Rate Section of the Wall Street Journal. If a range of rates is published, the highest will be
used. (the 'Index*). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the
term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon
Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans
based on other rates as well. The index currently is 7.250% per annum. The interest rate or rates to be applied to the unpaid principal balance
of this Note will be the rate or rates set forth herein in the "Payment" section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, after the first
payment stream, the interest rate for each subsequent payment stream will be effective as of the last payment date of the just-ending payment
stream. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
Whenever increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following: (A) increase Borrower's payments to
ensure Borrower's loan will pay off by its original final maturity date, (B) increase Borrower's payments to cover accruing interest, (C)
increase the number of Borrower's payments, and ID) continue Borrower's payments at the same amount and increase Borrower's final
payment.
PREPAYMENT PENALTY. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and
will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default). except as otherwise required by law. Upon
prepayment of this Note, Lender is entitled to the following prepayment penalty: Prepayment of any amount of the principal sum shall be
subject to a penalty charge of 5% during the first year of amortization and declining 1% per year thereafter to par. Except for the foregoing.
Borrower may pay all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than It is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing,
relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the
principal balance due and may result in Borrower's making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in
full", "without recourse', or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights
under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed
amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or
that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: COMMERCE
BANK/HARRISBURG N.A., COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE DEPARTMENT, 100 SENATE AVENUE, CAMP HILL, PA 17011.
LATE CHARGE. It a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable
law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note by 2.000 percentage points. The interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted
by applicable law. If judgment is entered in connection with this Note, interest will continue to accrue on this Note after judgment at the
interest rate applicable to this Note at the time judgment is entered.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Note:
Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.
Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in
any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement

Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or
sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or
Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.

Re: Indebtedness of Richard P. Hart and Nancie J. Hart (the
"Borrowers") to Metro Bank formerly Commerce Bank / Harrisburg
NA (the "Bank")
Dear Mr. and Ms Hart:
Reference is made to the Promissory Note of the Borrowers in the original
principal amount of $163,000, dated January 20, 2006, and payable to the order of
Commerce Bank/ Harrisburg N.A. now known as Metro Bank (the "Term Note"). The
Borrowers is in default under the Term Note in that the Borrowers have failed to, among
other things, make payments when due (the "Term Note Default"). This letter constitutes
formal notice to the Borrowers of the occurrence of the Term Note Default.
As a result of the Borrowers' default, the Bank has elected to exercise its option to
declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Term Note and all accrued and unpaid
interest to be immediately due and payable. As of December 9, 2010, there is unpaid,
due and owing to the Bank under the Term Note the amount of S 51,148.43. Demand is
hereby made for the immediate payment in full of all amounts which are due and which
may become due under the Term Note. The balance due under the Term Note may
increase or decrease as a result of the receipt of payments and the proceeds of collateral
securing the Term Note and the accrual of interest, late charges, costs of collection and
other fees, costs and expenses. Therefore, immediately prior to remitting payment, please
contact David M. Chajkowski at (717) 412-6218 to obtain final payoff amounts and
remittance instructions.
Nothing contained in this letter constitutes a waiver or release of any of the terms
or provisions of the Term Note or of any and all other notes, instruments or agreements
between the Bank and the Borrowers (the "Loan Documents"). The Bank reserves all
rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Documents and applicable law, all of
which are expressly hereby reserved.
No discussions between the Bank and the Borrowers concerning this notification,
other loan relationships between the Bank and the Borrowers, or any other matter shall
imply an agreement on the part of the Bank to waive any of its rights and remedies or to
forbear from taking any action authorized by the Loan Documents or applicable law,
whether or not such discussions may be continuing.
Any communications with any representative of the Bank, whether oral or
written, will be mere discussions only and will not in any way commit or be binding upon
the Bank unless reduced to a writing signed by an authorized officer of the Bank. Such
communications will not represent any course of dealing, and in no manner shall you rely
in any way on any such discussions unless such communications are reduced to a writing
signed by an authorized officer of the Bank.
The acceptance of any partial payment of any of the obligations of the Borrowers
to the Bank shall not be deemed a waiver or limitation of any of the Bank's rights
reserved herein as to the full amount of any unpaid balance. Any delay or forbearance by
the Bank in the enforcement or pursuit of any of its rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents or applicable law shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall it be a bar to
the exercise of the Bank's rights or remedies at a later date.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me
Sincerely,
METRO BANK

PENNSYLVANIA RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 2959
STRIKING OFF OR OPENING JUDGMENT; PLEADINGS AND PROCEDURE
(a)(1) Relief from a judgment by confession shall besought by petition. Except as
provided in subparagraph (2), all grounds for relief whether to strike off the judgment or to open
it must be asserted in a single petition. The petition may be filed in the county in which the
judgment was originally entered, in any county to which the judgment has been transferred or in
any other county in which the sheriff has received a writ of execution directed to the sheriff to
enforce the judgment
(2) The ground that the waiver of the due process rights of notice and hearing was not
voluntary, intelligent and knowing shall be raised only
(i) in support of a further request for a stay of execution where the court has
not stayed execution despite the timely filing of a petition for relief from the judgment and the
presentation of prima facie evidence of a defense; and
(ii) as provided by Rule 2958.3 or Rule 2973.3.
(3) If written notice is served upon the petitioner pursuant to Rule 2956.1(c)(2) or
Rule 2973.1(c), the petition shall be filed within thirty days after such service. Unless the
defendant can demonstrate that there were compelling reasons for the delay, a petition not timely
filed shall be denied.
(b) If the petition states prima facie grounds for relief the court shall issue a rule to
show cause and may grant a stay of proceedings. After being served with a copy of the petition
the plaintiff shall file an answer on before the return day of the rule. The return day of the rule
shall be fixed by the court by local rule or special order.
(c) A party waives all defenses and objections which are not included in the petition
or answer.
(d) The petition and the rule to show cause and the answer shall be served as
provided in Rule 440.
(e) The court shall dispose of the rule on petition and answer, and on any testimony,
depositions, admissions and other evidence. The court for cause shown may stay proceedings on
the petition insofar as it seeks to open the judgment pending disposition of the application to
strike off the judgment. If evidence is produced which in a jury trial would require the issues to
be submitted to the jury the court shall open the judgment.
(f) The lien of the judgment or of any levy or attachment shall be preserved while the
proceedings to strike off or open the judgment are pending.
(g) (1) A judgment shall not be stricken or opened because of a creditor's failure
to provide a debtor with instructions imposed by an existing statute, if any, regarding procedures
to follow to strike a judgment or regarding any rights available to an incorrectly identified
debtor.
(2) Subdivision (g)(1) shall apply to (1) judgment entered prior to the effective date
of a subdivision (g) which have not been stricken or opened as of the effective date and (2)
judgment entered on or after the effective date.
