MORTGAGE NOTE
$810,000
December 2, 2005
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SNYDER'S HARDWARE, INC., d/b/a Snyder Developers,
Pennsylvania corporation (the "Borrower"), with an address of 119 West Lancaster Avent
Shillington, Pennsylvania 19607, promises to pay to the order of INTEGRITY BANK,
Pennsylvania banking institution, its successors and assigns (the "Bank"), in lawful money
the United States of America in immediately available funds at its offices located at 3345 Marl'
Street, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania 17011, or at such other location as the Bank may designs
from time to time, the principal sum of Eight Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($810,001
together with interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance from the date hereof,
provided below:
Rate of Interest.
Commencing on the date hereof and continuing for until the Maturity Date (as define
herein), amounts outstanding under this Mortgage Note (this "Note") will bear interest at
floating rate per annum (the "Floating Rate"), which is at all times one percentage poi
(1.00%) in excess of the Prime Rate (as defined herein).
Interest will be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number
days in each interest period. As used herein, "Prime Rate" shall mean the rate published fn
time to time as the "prime rate" in the Money Rates table of The Wag Street Journal. The Prii
Rate does not necessarily reflect the lowest rate of interest actually charged by the Bank to a
particular class or category of customers. If and when the Prime Rate changes, the Floati
Rate will change automatically without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any su
change. In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed
law.
2. Payment Terms.
Commencing on January 2, 2006 and continuing on the same day of each moi
thereafter, monthly payments of interest only shall be due and payable based on the Floati
Rate. Such interest payments, up to the sum of $60,000, shall be funded from an inten
reserve established under the terms of the Loan Agreement. After such interest reserve
depleted, Borrower shall pay all payments due hereunder.
Any unpaid principal together with interest due thereon if not sooner paid, shall be
and payable on December 2, 2006 (the "Maturity Date").
If any payment under this Note shall become due on a Saturday, Sunday or put
holiday under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, such payment shall be made
the next succeeding business day and such extension of time shall be included in compute
interest in connection with such payment. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Defa
(as hereinafter defined) the Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to charge the Borrowe
deposit account at the Bank for any payment when due. Payments received will be applied
tA725658:)
charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys' fees), accrued interest and principal in any
order the Bank may choose, in its sole discretion.
3. Late Payments; Default Rate. If the Borrower fails to make any payment of
principal, interest or other amount coming due pursuant to the provisions of this Note within ten
(10) calendar days of the date due and payable, the Borrower also shall pay to the Bank a late
charge equal to five percent (5.00%) of the amount of such payment (the "Late Charge").
Such ten (10) day period shall not be construed in any way to extend the due date of any such
payment. Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the Bank's
option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) and during the
continuance thereof, this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum (based on a year of
360 days and actual days elapsed) which shall be three percentage points (3.00%) in excess of
the interest rate in effect from time to time under this Note but not more than the maximum rate
allowed by law (the "Default Rate"). The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not
judgment shall be entered on this Note. Both the Late Charge and the Default Rate are
imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Bank's expenses incident to
the handling of delinquent payments, but are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Bank's
exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under
applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys which the Bank may
employ. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Bank of carrying a
loan that is in default. The Borrower agrees that the Late Charge and Default Rate are
reasonable forecasts of just compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Bank,
and that the actual harm incurred by the Bank cannot be estimated with certainty and without
difficulty.
4. Prepavment. The Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without
any prepayment fee.
6. _Other Loan Documents. This Note is issued in connection with a Loan
Agreement between the Borrower and the Bank dated on or before the date hereof, and the
other agreements and documents executed in connection therewith or referred to therein, the
terms of which are incorporated herein by reference (as amended, modified or renewed from
time to time, collectively the "Loan Documents"), and is secured by the property described in
the Loan Documents and by such other collateral as previously may have been or may in the
future be granted to the Bank to secure this Note.
6. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events will be
deemed to be an "Event of Default" under this Note: (i) the nonpayment of any principal,
interest or other indebtedness under this Note for a period of ten (10) days following the date on
which such principal, interest or other payment was due; (ii) the occurrence of any event of
default or default and the lapse of any notice or cure period under any Loan Document or any

bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, conservatorship or similar
proceeding (and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against any Obligor, such
proceeding is not dismissed or stayed within 60 day's of the commencement thereof); (iv) any
assignment by any Obligor for the benefit of creditors, or any levy, gamishment, attachment or
similar proceeding is instituted against any property of any Obligor held by or deposited with the
Bank; (v) a default with respect to any other indebtedness of any Obligor for borrowed money in
excess of $25,000, if the effect of such default is to cause or permit the acceleration of such
debt; (vi) the commencement of any foreclosure or forfeiture proceeding, execution or
{A725658:}
-2-
attachment against any collateral securing the obligations of any Obligor to the Bank; (vii) the
entry of a final judgment against any Obligor in excess of $25,000 and the failure of such
Obligor to discharge the judgment or otherwise bond off any judgment lien resulting therefrom
within thirty (30) days of the entry thereof; (viii) any material adverse change in any Obligor's
business, assets, operations, financial condition or results of operations; (ix) any Obligor ceases
doing business as a going concern; (x) the revocation or attempted revocation, in whole or in
part, of any guarantee by any Guarantor; (xi) the death or legal incompetency of any individual
Obligor; (xii) any representation or warranty made by any Obligor to the Bank in any Loan
Document, or any other documents now or in the future evidencing or securing the obligations
of any Obligor to the Bank, proves to be false, erroneous or misleading in any material respect
as of the date made; or (xiii) any Obligor's failure to observe or perform any covenant or other
agreement with the Bank contained in any Loan Document or any other documents now or in
the future evidencing or securing the obligations of any Obligor to the Bank. As used herein, the
term "Obligor" means the Borrower and the Guarantor, and the term "Guarantor" means any
guarantor of the Borrower's obligations to the Bank existing on the date of this Note or
thereafter.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default: (a) the Bank shall be under no further
obligation to make advances hereunder; (b) if an Event of Default specified in clause (iii) or (iv)
above shall occur, the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest hereunder together
with any additional amounts payable hereunder shall be immediately due and payable without
demand or notice of any kind; (c) if any other Event of Default shall occur, the outstanding
principal balance and accrued interest hereunder together with any additional amounts payable
hereunder, at the Bank's option and without demand or notice of any kind, may be accelerated
and become immediately due and payable; (d) at the Bank's option, this Note will bear interest
at the Default Rate from the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default; and (e) the Bank
may exercise from time to time any of the rights and remedies available under the Loan

of any court of record, after the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, to appear
for the Borrower and, with or without complaint filed, confess judgment, or a series of
judgments, against the Borrower in favor of the Bank or any holder hereof for the entire
principal balance of this Note, all accrued Interest and all other amounts due hereunder
or under any of the other Loan Documents, together with costs of suit and an attorney's
commission of the greater of 10% of such principal and interest or $5,000 added as a
reasonable attorney's fee, and for doing so, this Note or a copy verified by affidavit shall
be a sufficient warrant. The Borrower hereby forever waives and releases all errors in
said proceedings and all rights of appeal and all relief from any and all appraisement,
stay or exemption laws of any state now in force or hereafter enacted. Interest on the
principal balance portion of the judgment shall accrue at the Default Rate.
No single exercise of the foregoing power to confess judgment, or a series of
judgments, shall be deemed to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise
shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable, or void, but the power shall continue
undiminished and it may be exercised from time to time as often as the Bank shall elect
until such time as the Bank shall have received payment in full of the debt, interest and
costs. Notwithstanding the attorney's commission provided for in the preceding
paragraph (which is included in the warrant for purposes of establishing a sum certain),
the amount of attorneys' fees that the Bank may recover from the Borrower shall not
exceed the actual attorneys' fees incurred by the Banc.

security interest in or to preserve its rights to any security or other collateral for any of the
Obligations or any guaranty, or by any irregularity, unenforceability or invalidity of any of the
Obligations or any part thereof or any security or other guaranty thereof. The Guarantor's
obligations hereunder shall not be affected, modified or impaired by any counterclaim, set-off,
deduction or defense based upon any claim the Guarantor may have against the Borrower or
the Bank, except payment or performance of the Obligations.
Notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of extensions of credit to the Borrower
from time to time, notice of default, diligence, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand
for payment, and any defense based upon the Bank's failure to comply with the notice
requirements of the applicable version of Uniform Commercial Code § 9-610 are hereby waived.
The Guarantor waives all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.
The Bank at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the
Guarantor, and without impairing or releasing, discharging or modifying the Guarantor's
liabilities hereunder, may (a) change the manner, place, time or terms of payment or
performance of or interest rates on, or other terms relating to, any of the Obligations; (b) renew,
substitute, modify, amend or alter, or grant consents or waivers relating to any of the
Obligations, any other guaranties, or any security for any Obligations or guaranties; (c) apply
any and all payments by whomever paid or however realized including any proceeds of any
collateral, to any Obligations of the Borrower in such order, manner and amount as the Bank
may determine in its sole discretion; (d) settle, compromise or deal with any other person,
including the Borrower or the Guarantor, with respect to any Obligations in such manner as the
Bank deems appropriate in its sole discretion; (e) substitute, exchange or release any security
or guaranty; or (f) take such actions and exercise such remedies hereunder as provided herein.
3. Repayments or Recovery from the Bank. If any demand is made at any time
upon the Bank for the repayment or recovery of any amount received by it in payment or on
account of any of the Obligations and if the Bank repays all or any part of such amount by
reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body or by reason of any
settlement or compromise of any such demand, the Guarantor will be and remain liable
hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had
never been received originally by the Bank. The provisions of this section will be and remain
effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Guarantor in
reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken will be without prejudice to
the Bank's rights hereunder and will be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment
having become final and irrevocable.
4. Financial Statements. Unless compliance is waived in writing by the Bank or
until all of the Obligations have been paid in full, the Guarantor will promptly submit to the Bank
such information relating to the Guarantor's business and financial affairs (including but not
limited to annual financial statements and tax returns of the Guarantor) or any security for the
Guaranty as the Bank may reasonably request.
5. Enforceability of Obllaations. No modification, limitation or discharge of the
Obligations arising out of or by virtue of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding for
relief of debtors under federal or state law will affect, modify, limit or discharge the Guarantor's
(A725sa5:)
-2-
liability in any manner whatsoever and this Guaranty will remain and continue in full force and
effect and will be enforceable against the Guarantor to the same extent and with the same force
and effect as if any such proceeding had not been instituted. The Guarantor waives all rights
and benefits which might accrue to it by reason of any such proceeding and will be liable to the
full extent hereunder, irrespective of any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of the
Borrower that may result from any such proceeding.
6. Events of Default The occurrence of any of the following shall be an "Event of
Default": (i) any Event of Default (as defined in any of the Loan Documents); (ii) any default
under any of the Loan Documents that does not have a defined set of 'Events of Default' and
the lapse of any notice or cure period provided in such Obligations with respect to such default;
(iii) demand by the Bank under any of the instruments or agreements giving rise to any of the
Obligations that have a demand feature; (iv) the Guarantor's failure to perform any of its
obligations hereunder; (v) the falsity, inaccuracy or material breach by the Guarantor of any
written warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to the Bank by or on behalf of
the Guarantor; or (vi) the termination or attempted termination of this Guaranty. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, (a) the Guarantor shall pay to the Bank the outstanding
amount of the Obligations; or (b) on demand of the Bank, the Guarantor shall immediately
deposit with the Bank, in U.S. dollars, the outstanding amount of the Obligations, and the Bank
may at any time use such funds to repay the Obligations; or (c) the Bank in its discretion may
exercise with respect to any collateral any one or more of the rights and remedies provided a
secured party under the applicable version of the Uniform Commercial Code; or (d) the Bank in
its discretion may exercise from time to time any other rights and remedies available to it at law,
in equity or otherwise.
7. Riaht of Setoff. In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against the
Guarantor's money, securities or other property given to the Bank by law, the Bank shall have,
with respect to the Guarantor's obligations to the Bank under this Guaranty and to the extent
permitted by law, a contractual possessory security interest in and a contractual right of setoff
against, and the Guarantor hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges and transfers to the
Bank all of the Guarantor's right, title and interest in and to, all of the Guarantor's deposits,
moneys, securities and other property now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with,
or in transit to, the Bank, whether held in a general or special account or deposit, whether held
jointly with someone else, or whether held for safekeeping or otherwise, excluding, however, all
IRA, Keogh, and trust accounts. Every such security interest and right of setoff may be
exercised without demand upon or notice to the Guarantor. Every such right of setoff shall be
deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder without any action of the Bank, although the Bank may enter such setoff on its books
and records at a later time.
8. Collateral . This Guaranty is secured by the property described in any collateral
security documents which the Guarantor executes and delivers to the Bank and by such other
collateral as previously may have been or may in the future be granted to the Bank to secure
any obligations of the Guarantor to the Bank.
9. Costs. To the extent that the Bank incurs any costs or expenses in protecting or
enforcing its rights under the Obligations or this Guaranty, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and the costs and expenses of litigation, such costs and expenses will be due on demand, will
be included in the Obligations and will bear interest from the incurring or payment thereof at the
Default Rate (as defined in any of the Obligations).
JA725685:1
-3-
10. Postoonement of Subrouation. Until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in
full, the Guarantor irrevocably postpones and subordinates in favor of the Bank any and all
rights which the Guarantor may have to (a) assert any claim against the Borrower based on
indemnity, contribution or subrogation rights with respect to payments made hereunder, and (b)
any realization on any property of the Borrower, including participation in any marshalling of the
Borrower's assets.
11. Power to Confess Judgment. The Guarantor hereby empowers any
attorney of any court of record, after the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, to
appear for the Guarantor and, with or without complaint filed, confess judgment, or a
series of judgments, against the Guarantor in favor of the Bark for the amount of the
Obligations, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate set forth in the Note, costs
of suit and an attorney's commission of the greater of 10% of such principal and interest
or $5,000 added as a reasonable attorney's fee, and for doing so, this Guaranty or a copy
verified by affidavit shall be a sufficient warrant. The Guarantor hereby forever waives
and releases all errors in said proceedings and all rights of appeal and all relief from any
and all appralsement, stay or exemption laws of any state now in force or hereafter
enacted.
No single exercise of the foregoing power to confess judgment, or a series of
judgments, shall be deemed to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise
shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable, or void, but the power shall continue
undiminished and it may be exercised from time to time as often as the Bank shall elect
until such time as the Bank shall have received payment in full of the outstanding
balance due on the Obligations and costs. Notwithstanding the attorney's commission
provided for in the preceding paragraph (which is included in the warrant for purposes of
establishing a sum certain), the amount of attorneys' fees that the Bank may recover
from the Guarantor shall not exceed the actual attorneys' fees incurred by the Bank.
12. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other
communications required or permitted hereunder must be in writing and will be effective upon
receipt. Such notices and other communications may be hand-delivered, sent by facsimile
transmission with confirmation of delivery and a copy sent by first-class mail, or sent by
nationally recognized overnight courier service, to the addresses for the Bank and the
Guarantor set forth above or to such other address as one may give to the other in writing for
such purpose.
13. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission on the Bank's part to exercise
any right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right or power or be considered a
waiver of any such right or power, nor will the Bank's action or inaction impair any such right or
power. The Bank's rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any
other rights or remedies which the Bank may have under other agreements, at law or in equity.
The Bank may proceed in any order against the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other obligor of,
or any collateral securing, the Obligations.
14. Illouality. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Guaranty
should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.
(A725685:)
-4-
IS. Channes in Writing. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, will be effective unless
made in a writing signed by the Bank, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the
Guarantor in any case will entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the
same, similar or other circumstance.
16. Entire Aareement. This Guaranty (including the documents and instruments
referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements
and understandings, both written and oral, between the Guarantor and the Bank with respect to
the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Guaranty is in addition to, and not in
substitution for, any other guarantees from the Guarantor to the Bank.

this Guaranty in whole or in part.

more than one party as Guarantor, the obligations of such persons or entities will be joint and
several.
19. Indemnity. The Guarantor agrees to indemnify each of the Bank, its directors,
officers and employees and each legal entity, if any, who controls the Bank (the "Indemnified
Parties") and to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all claims,
damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including all fees and charges of internal or external

preparation therefor) which any Indemnified Party may incur or which may be asserted against
any Indemnified Party as a result of the execution of or performance under this Guaranty;

security or against any property of the Guarantor within any other county, state or other foreign

waives any objection to venue and any objection based on a more convenient forum in any
action instituted under this Guaranty.

Obligations, and (ii) the Guarantor was not required to execute this Guaranty in violation of
Section 202.7(d) of the ECOA.
