DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS. Originate note dated March 15, 2011.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS. Extending the maturity date to November 15, 2012 and payment and late charge as Indicated below. All other terms and conditions will remain the same.

 

PROMISE TO PAY. ECSI International, Inc. ("Borrower") promises to pay to Atlantic Stewardship Bank ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Four Hundred Seventy-five Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($475,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance. Borrower also promises to pay all applicable fees and expenses.

 

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on November 15, 2012. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning April 15, 2012, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any unpaid collection costs; then to any late charges; then to any accrued unpaid interest; and then to principal. 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 loan is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent Index which is the Prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. When a range of rates has been published, the higher of the rates 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 notifying 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 3.250% per annum. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this loan will be calculated as described in the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using a rate of 0.250 percentage points over the Index, adjusted if necessary for any minimum and maximum rate limitations described below, resulting in an initial rate of 4.500% per annum based on a year of 360 days. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this loan be less than 4.500% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

 

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this loan is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the 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. All interest payable under this loan is computed using this method.

 

PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty 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 of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. 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 Agreement, 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: Atlantic Stewardship Bank, 400 Hamburg Turnpike Wayne, NJ 07470.

 

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment. This late charge shall be paid to Lender by Borrower for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to the handling of the delinquent payment.

 

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, Including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this loan shall be increased by adding an additional 3.000 percentage point margin ("Default Rate Margin"). The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate change that would have applied had there been no default.
