America, the principal sum of
<PAGE>
THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT THOUSANDFIVE HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE
AND NO/1OOTHS DOLLARS
together with interest, all as provided below.
1. Interest. The Principal Balance shall at all times bear interest at a rate
equal to the Contract Rate, provided that so long as any principal of or accrued
interest on any this Note overdue, the Principal Balance and all overdue
interest thereon shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate equal to two percent
(2%) per annum above the rate that would otherwise be applicable, but in no case
less than two percent (2%) per annum above the Prime Rate; provided further that
in no event shall any principal of or interest on this Note bear interest at any
time after Maturity at a lesser rate than the rate applicable thereto
immediately after Maturity. The "Contract Rate" shall at all times be a
fluctuating rate equal to the Prime Rate, provided that Borrower shall have the
right from time to time to irrevocably elect a fixed rate (the "LIBOR Margin
Rate") equal to the sum of one and three quarters percent (1-3/4%) per annum
plus LIBOR as the Contract Rate applicable to the Principal Balance during a
Contract Period by specifying the term of the Contract Period and the Principal
Balance that such Borrower expects to have outstanding on the first day thereof
(giving effect to any payments to be made on or before that day) in a notice
given to Bank orally or in writing not later than 10:00 a. m., Main-Office Time,
of the third (3rd) Eurodollar Banking Day preceding the first day of that
Contract Period, and stating that such Borrower is electing the LIBOR Margin
Rate.
Interest on this Note shall be payable monthly commencing on June 20, 2000 and
continuing on the twentieth day of each month until Maturity, and on demand
thereafter. At the end of each Contract Period during which the LIBOR Margin
Rate is the Contract Rate, the Principal Balance shall bear interest at the
Prime Rate unless either Borrower shall have elected otherwise as hereinbefore
provided. Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any
part of the Principal Balance in any manner Bank may from time to time deem
advisable, Borrower acknowledging that all determinations relating to the LIBOR
Margin Rate shall be made as if Bank had actually funded and maintained the
Principal Balance by the purchase of deposits in an amount similar to the amount
of the Principal Balance, with a maturity similar to the Contract Period during
which the LIBOR Margin Rate was elected, and bearing interest at LIBOR.
2. Ineffective Elections. Notwithstanding any provision or inference to the
contrary, Bank shall have the right in its discretion, without notice to
Borrower, to deem ineffective any election of a Contract Rate if (a) at the time
of that election or on the first day of the Contract Period specified in the
notice thereof, there shall exist or there would occur any Event of Default, (b)
any representation, warranty, or other statement made by any Person (other than
Bank) in any Related Writing (other than any financial statement) would, if made
either at the time of that election or on the first day of the Contract Period
specified in the notice thereof, be untrue or incomplete in any respect, (c)
after giving effect to that election, more than one Contract Rate would be
applicable to the Principal Balance, (d) Bank shall determine that (i) dollar
deposits of the appropriate amount and maturity are not available in the market
selected by Bank for the purpose of funding the Principal Balance at LIBOR, (ii)
circumstances affecting that market make it impracticable for Bank to ascertain
LIBOR, or (iii) any governmental authority has
2
<PAGE>
asserted that it is unlawful for Bank to fund, make, or maintain loans bearing
interest based on LIBOR, (e) after giving effect to that election, the actual
Principal Balance is or would be, on the first day of the Contract Period
specified in the notice of that election, different than the expected Principal
Balance specified in that notice, (f) any principal payment is scheduled to
become due during the Contract Period specified in the notice of that election,
(g) the expected Principal Balance specified in the notice of that election is
less than Fifty Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($50,000.00), or (h) the Contract
Period specified in the notice of that election would end after the scheduled
due date of the last principal payment under this Note, giving effect to any
prepayments. Bank's books and records shall be conclusive (absent manifest
error) as to whether Bank shall have deemed any such election ineffective.
3. Premium. Ineffective and Unlawful Elections. If Bank shall deem ineffective
any election of any Contract Rate, Borrower shall pay to Bank, on Bank's demand,
a premium based on the amount the expected Principal Balance specified in the
notice of that election and computed for the Contract Period specified in that
notice at a rate per annum equal to the excess, if any, of the Contract Rate so
elected over the Reinvestment Rate. If any governmental authority shall assert
that it is unlawful for Bank to fund, make or maintain loans bearing interest
based on LIBOR, then, and in each such case, notwithstanding any provision or
inference to the contrary, the Principal Balance shall thereupon bear interest
at the Prime Margin Rate, and Borrower shall pay to Bank, on Bank's demand, (a)
all unpaid interest theretofore accruing at the LIBOR Margin Rate and (b) a
premium based on the amount of the principal theretofore bearing interest at the
LIBOR Margin Rate and computed for the remainder of the Contract Period
therefor, at a rate equal to the excess, if any, of the Contract Rate
theretofore applicable over the Reinvestment Rate.
4. Repayment. Subject to section 7, the principal of this Note shall be due and
payable in sixty (60) instalments, commencing on June 20, 2000, and continuing
on the twentieth day of each month thereafter until paid in full, each such
instalment except the final instalment to be in a principal amount equal to
Three Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-Eight and No/100ths Dollars ($3,238.00), and
the final instalment to be an amount equal to all unpaid principal of this Note.
Borrower shall have the right to prepay the principal of this Note in whole or
in part at any time before maturity, provided that if any payment (whether a
prepayment or a payment following any acceleration of the due date thereof) is
made before the last day of a Contract Period during which the LIBOR Margin Rate
is the Contract Rate applicable to the Principal Balance, then, and in each such
case, Borrower shall, concurrently with the payment, pay to Bank (i) the
interest on the principal being paid and (ii) a premium based on the principal
amount paid and computed for the period from the date of payment to the last day
of the Contract Period in question at a rate per annum equal to the excess, if
any, of the Contract Rate theretofore applicable over the Reinvestment Rate.
5. Collateral. This Note is secured by a mortgage dated May 17, 1995 on property
located in the Township of Howland, Trumbull County Ohio. Reference is made
thereto for rights as to acceleration or default of this Note.

accelerate the maturity of this note. If Bank chooses to accelerate, the entire
unpaid principal amount, together with interest at the default rate set forth
above, shall be immediately due and payable, without demand or notice, both of
which are expressly waived by Borrower.
9. Late Charges. In each case in which any principal of or interest on this Note
is not paid within ten (10) days after its due date, Bank shall have the right
to assess a late charge, payable by Borrower on demand, equal to the greater of
twenty dollars ($20.00) or five percent (5%) of the unpaid amount. The payment
of a late charge will not cure or constitute a waiver of any default under this
Note.
10. Indemnity: Administration and Enforcement. Borrower will pay to Bank all
costs and expenses of collection of this Note, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees. If any amount (other than the principal of any Subject Loan and

to four percent (4%) per annum plus the Prime Rate.
11. Indemnity: Governmental Costs. If (a) there shall be enacted any law
(including, without limitation, any change in any law or in its interpretation
or administration and any request by any governmental authority) relating to any
interest rate or any reserve or special deposit requirements against assets held
by, deposits in, or loans by Bank or to any tax (other than any tax on Bank's
overall net income) and (b) in Bank's sole opinion any such event increases the
cost of funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Unit or reduces the amount of any
payment to be made to Bank in respect thereof, then, and in each such case, upon
Bank's demand, Borrower shall pay Bank an amount equal to each such cost
increase or reduced payment, as the case may
5
<PAGE>
be. In determining any such amount, Bank may use reasonable averaging and
attribution methods. Each determination by Bank shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
12. Application of Payments. Payments other than prepayments will be applied
first to instalments in the order of their respective due dates; provided,
however, that if a payment so applied would pay the principal amount of the note
in full, but would leave late charges outstanding, the payment will instead be
applied to late charges prior to being applied to the principal amount of the
final instalment.
13. Other Provisions. All fees, interest, and premiums for any given period
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days
in the period. Any term used in this Note shall have the meaning ascribed
thereto by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date hereof in the
jurisdiction in which Bank's main office is located, subject, however, to such
modification, if any, as may be provided in this Note. This Note shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.
14. Warrant of Attorney. Borrower authorizes any attorney at law at any time or
times to appear in any state or federal court of record in the United States of
America after all or any part of the obligations created by this Note shall have
become due, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of the due date thereof,
or otherwise, and in each case to waive the issuance and service of process, to
present to the court this Note and any other writing (if any) evidencing the
obligation or obligations in question, to admit the due date thereof and the
nonpayment thereof when due, to confess judgment against Borrower in favor of
Bank for the full amount then appearing due, together with interest and costs of
suit, and thereupon to release all errors and waive all rights of appeal and any
stay of execution. The foregoing warrant of attorney shall survive any judgment,
it being understood that should any judgment against Borrower be vacated for any
reason, Bank may nevertheless utilize the foregoing warrant of attorney in
thereafter obtaining one or more additional judgments against Borrower.
