evidencing or securing the Loan (collectively, the "Loan Documents").
This Note is the Note required in the Contract and has been executed and delivered in

The Loan evidenced by this Note and the obligations described in the Contract pertaining

requirements in the Contract during the Performance Period. In the event of such default,

by reference for all purposes commonly known as 8401 West Freeway, Fort Worth, Texas
76116 (the "Property").
Other Security for Payment: None
If the Principal Amount is not forgiven, Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender
the remaining Principal Amount, calculated as described in section 5.7 of the Contract. In that
event, this Note is payable at the Place for Payment and according to the Terms of Payment. All
unpaid amounts are due by the Maturity Date. After maturity, Borrower promises to pay any
unpaid principal balance plus interest at the Annual Interest Rate on Matured, Unpaid Amounts.
If Borrower defaults in the payment of this Note or in the performance of its obligations
under the Contract or the ARPA Regulations or any other obligation in any instrument securing or
collateral to this Note, Lender may declare the unpaid principal balance, earned interest, and any
other amounts owed on the Note immediately due and payable. Borrower and each surety,
endorser, and guarantor waive all demand for payment, presentation for payment, notice of
intention to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, protest, and notice of protest,
to the extent permitted by law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a monetary event of default occurs under the
terms of any of the Loan Documents, prior to exercising any remedies Lender shall give Borrower
written notice of such default. Borrower shall have a period of 7 days after such notice is given
within which to cure the default prior to exercise of remedies by Lender under the Loan
Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a non -monetary event of default occurs
under the terms of any of the Loan Documents, prior to exercising any remedies, Lender shall give
Borrower written notice of such default. If the default is reasonably capable of being cured within
30 days, Borrower shall have such period to effect a cure prior to exercise of remedies by Lender
under the Loan Documents. If the default is such that it is not reasonably capable of being cured
within 30 days, and if Borrower (i) initiates corrective action within said period, and (ii) diligently,
continually, and in good faith works to effect a cure as soon as possible, then Borrower shall have
such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the default prior to exercise of any remedies
by Lender. In no event shall Lender be precluded from exercising remedies if its security becomes
or is about to become materially jeopardized by any failure to cure a default or the default is not
cured within 180 days after the first notice of default is given.
Borrower also promises to pay reasonable attorney's fees and court and other costs if this
Note is placed in the hands of an attorney to collect or enforce the Note. These expenses will bear
interest from the date of advance at the Annual Interest Rate on Matured, Unpaid Amounts.
Borrower will pay Lender these expenses and interest on demand at the Place for Payment. These
expenses and interest will become part of the debt evidenced by the Note and will be secured by
any security for payment.
Interest on the debt evidenced by this Note will not exceed the maximum rate or amount
of non -usurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received under
law. Any interest in excess of that maximum amount will be credited on the Principal Amount or,

if the Principal Amount has been paid, refunded. On any acceleration or required or permitted
prepayment, any excess interest will be canceled automatically as of the acceleration or
prepayment or, if the excess interest has already been paid, credited on the Principal Amount or,
if the Principal Amount has been paid, refunded. This provision overrides any conflicting
provisions in this Note and all other instruments concerning the debt.
Each Borrower is responsible for all obligations represented by this Note.
When the context requires, singular nouns and pronouns include the plural.
The execution and delivery of this Note are required under the Contract.
If any provision of this Note conflicts with any provision of the Contract, the Deed of Trust
or any other document evidencing the same transaction between Lender and Borrower, the
provisions of the Contract will govern to the extent of the conflict.
This Note will be construed under the laws of the state of Texas without regard to choice
of law rules of any jurisdiction.
