of the real estate encumbered by the Mortgage executed simultaneously herewith.
Provided, however, that in the event Holder fails to secure final approval of the Subdivision (as hereinafter
defined) from Carroll Township, Perry County, Pennsylvania and all other governmental approvals on or before
July 15, 2009, then, and only then, the amount of principal owed by Borrower to Holder shall be reduced from
$220,000.000 to $60,800.00. Subdivision shall mean the four lot subdivision of Stephen Bruner previously
submitted to Carroll Township for the real estate on Township Road 343, Sandy Hollow Road.

Payments shall be applied to principal before interest. If on July 15, 2013, Borrower still owes amounts under this Note,
Borrower will pay those amounts in full on that date which is called the Maturity Date. Borrower acknowledges that there
shall be a balloon payment due and payable on the Maturity Date and that the monthly payments of principal and interest

If Borrower is in default, the Bruner may require Borrower to pay immediately the full amount of principal which has not
been paid and all the interest that Borrower owes on that amount.
LATE PAYMENT. If the Bruner has not received the full payment of any payment by the end of fifteen (15) calendar
days after its due date, Borrower will pay a late charge to the Bruner. The amount of the charge will be five (5 %) percent
of the overdue payment of interest and principal. Borrower will pay this late charge promptly.
NO WAIVER BY BRUNEI2. Even if,, at a time when Borrower is in default, the Bruner does not require Borrower to
pay immediately in frill as described above, the Bruner will still have the right to do so if Borrower is in default at a later
time.
PAYMENT OF BRUNER'S COSTS AND EXPENSES. If the Bruner has required Borrower to pay inunediately in
full, the Bruner will have the right to be paid back by Borrower for all of Bruner's costs and expenses in enforcing this
Note to the extent not prohibited by applicable law including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees.
TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY OR A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN BORROWER. If all or any part of the
Property or any interest in it is sold or transferred (or if a beneficial interest in Borrower is sold or transferred and
Borrower is not a natural person) without Bruner's prior written consent, Bruner may, at Bruner's option, require
immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Note.
NON ASSIGNMENT. This Note and the related Mortgage dated even herewith or any portion of them cannot be
assigned without the prior written approval of Bruner. Bruner is under no obligation to give such consent and may
withhold said consent at Bruner's option.

PREPAYMENT: Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or any part of the principal amount of this Note at any time
or from time to time without premium or penalty.
