COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE NOTE
$525,000
May 15,2003
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, DAVID L. ELLIS, an adult individual currently residing at 3350
North Third Street, Ramsburg, Pennsylvania (the "Borrower") promises to pay to the order of
WAYPOINT BANK (the "Bank"), in lawful money of the United States of America in
immediately available funds at its offices located at 235 North Second Street, Hamsbu:rg, P A
17105, or at such other location as the Bank may designate from time to time, the principal swn
of Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($525,000) (the ''Loan''), together with
interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance from the date hereof, as provided below:
1. Rates of Interest. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan evidenced hereby
shall at all times bear interest, at a per annwn rate or rates based on a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed, as follows:
(a) From the date hereof through May 15, 2008 (the "Fixed Rate Period"), at
the fixed rate of 6.13%;
(b) From and after May IS, 2008, at a rate equal to (i) such fixed rate as may
be offered by Bank in its sole discretion (provided that the Bank shall have no obligation
to offer any such fixed rate) and accepted by Borrower in writing or, failing such offer
and/or acceptance ofa fixed rate, or in the event any other interest rate is not in effect for
any reason, (ii) at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Bank's Prime Rate plus 100
basis points (1 %). As used herein, "Prime Rate" shall mean the rate publicly announced
by the Bank from time to time as irs prime rate. The Prime Rate is not tied to any
external rate or index and does not necessarily reflect the lowest rate of interest actually
charged by the Bank to any particular class or category of customers. If and when the
Prime Rate changes, the interest rate payable hereunder (to the extent based on the Prime
Rate) will change automatically without notice to lhe Borrower, effective on lhe date of
any such change. In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate
allowed by law.
2. Pavment Terms. The Loan shall be payable in equal consecutive monthly
installments of principal and accrued interest (at the rate or rates in effect from time to time
hereunder) in the amount of Five Thousand One Hundred Eighty-Two and 00/100 Dollars
(SS,182.00), commencing June 15, 2003 and continuing on the 15th day of each successive
calendar monlh thereafter through May 15, 2013 (the "Maturity Date"); provided, however, that
the Bank may adjust the repayment tenns'or amounts upon notice to Borrower following the
expiration of the Fixed Rate Period based upon changes in the applicable interest rate if
determined by the Bank to be necessary or appropriate to keep the principal repayment within the
original ten-year maturity period. On the Maturity Date, the entire outstanding principal balance
hereof, together with unpaid accrued interest thereon and all other costs, charges and expenses
#268946 v3 - Ellis. Commercial MoltS'&< Not<, 032703
t:.x'v);\0;t A
payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (defined below) shall be paid in
full.
@
If any payment under this Note shall become due on a Samrday, Sunday or public holiday
under the laws of the State where the Bank's office indicated above is located, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extension of time shall be included
in computing interest in connection with such payment. The Borrower hereby authorizes the
Bank to charge the Borrower's deposit account at the Bank for aoy payment when due hereunder.
Payments received will be applied to charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys' fees),
accnled interest and principal in any order the Bank may choose, in its sole discretion.
3. Late Pavments; 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
fifteen (15) calendar days of the date due and payable, the Borrower also shaH pay to the Bank a
late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment. Such fifteen day period
shall not be consttued in any way to extend the due date of aoy such payment. The late charge is
imposed for the pllIpOse of defraying the Bank's expenses incident to the handling of delinquent
payments and is in addition to, and not in lieu of, the exercise by the Bank of any rights and
remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under applicable laws, and any fees and
expenses of any agents or attorneys which the Bank may employ. Upon maturity, whether by
acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the option of the Bank upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) and during lhe 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
two percentage points (2%) 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.
G&
4. Prepavment. The outstanding principal balance of this Note may be prepaid in
whole or in part, without premium or penalty, during any period that this Note bears interest
based on the Prime Rate. A prepayment fee will be charged if the Loan is prepaid, in whole or in
part, during any period that this Note bears interest at a fixed rate. The fee will be based on the
following factors: (a) the amount of principal that is being prepaid before the expiration date of
the fixed rate period ("Fixed Rate Expiration"); (b) the change in interest rates since the loan was
made - i.e. the difference in the cost of funds yield between lhe date the loan was made (using
original cost of funds yield based on original fixed rate term) and the date of prepayment (using
current cost of funds yield based on the remaining fixed rate term at the time of prepayment); and
(c) the time, in years and months, remaining between the date of the prepayment and the date of
the Fixed Rate Expiration. If the calculation of the prepayment penalty results in a negative
amount, then no prepayment fee will be assessed. The Bank's determination of the amount of
any prepayment fee will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
5. Other Loan Documents. This Note is issued in connection with a Credit Agreement
dated as of May 15, 2003 among the Bank, the Borrower, David L. Ellis Agency, Inc., David
Ellis & Co. of Pennsylvania, Inc. and D.L.E. Real Estate Company, the terms of which are

balance and accrued interest hereunder together with any additional amounts payable hereunder,

occurrence of the Event of Default; and (e) the Bank may exercise from time to time any of the
rights and remedies available to the Bank under the Loan Documents or under applicable law.

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

until such time as the Bank shall have received payment in full of the debt, interest and
costs.

ANNOTATED PURDON'S PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES
ANNOTATED PENNSYLVANIA RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE CONFESSION OF
JUDGMENT FOR MONEY.
Current with amendments received through December 1, 2003.
Rule 2959. Striking Off or Opening Judgment; Pleadings; Procedure
(a) (1)
Relief from a judgment by confession shall be sought by petition.
Except as provided by 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 or 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 all 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.
