ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS OF NOTE MODIFICATION
1. DEFINITION OF TERMS: References to "First Citizens Bank & Trust Company"
include any financial institution merged with and into First Citizens Bank &
Trust Company. The term "Note" as used in this Agreement referred to the
original Note identified on the front of this Agreement. The Note, an
instruments executed to secure repayment of the Note, all loan commitment
letters and loan agreements, and all other loan documents executed in connection
With the loan transaction evidenced by the Note are collectively referred to in
this Agreement as the Loan Documents." The terms "Note" and "Loan Documents"
include any prior renewals, extensions or modifications thereof.
2. PRIME RATE: The Lender's "Prime Rate" of interest, as, that term is used in
this Agreement, means that rate established from time to time by Lender and
identified as such within Lender's offices.. The term "Prime Rate" shall be used
as a mean's of identifying a rate of interest index and not as a representation
by Lender that the Prime Rate is necessarily the lowest or most favorable rate
of interest offered to borrowers by Lender generally, and no Borrower or
Guarantor shall have any claim or right of action based on such premise.
3. VARIABLE RATE: Notwithstanding any other provision of the Note or this
Agreement, if the interest rate increases during the remaining term of the loan,
Lender may (1) increase the amount of the periodic payment to have the loan
fully amortized at Maturity, (2) extend the Maturity, or (3) require the
resulting increase to be paid at Maturity, or any combination of the foregoing,
all in Lender's discretion as determined from time to time by Lender. (Except
that if this loan is subject to the federal Truth in Lending Act and its
implementing regulations, the foregoing shall not be enforced in conflict with
the disclosures given pursuant thereto.).
4. LATE CHARGE: Unless the principal and interest are repayable in one single
payment, there shall be a late charge of 4% of the unpaid balance or any payment
past due for 15 days or more. If this is a modification of a "PayAnyDay" loan
(i.e., a loan under which payments are not past due until the last day of the
calendar month in which a payment is due, then a payment will be considered
"late" for purposes of assessing a late charge if a payment is made after the
last day of the calendar month in which it is due.
5. FUTURE MODIFICATIONS: Any subsequent modifications, Extensions or renewals of
the Note or any of the other Loan Documents may, at Lender's option, be made on
Lender's standard forms. Such forms may identity Lender as the original lender,
payee on the Note, beneficiary of any deed of trust, and secured party in any
security instrument, notwithstanding the fact that First Citizens Bank & Trust
Company may not have been designated as the original payee or secured party in
the original Loan Documents.

instrument given to secure repayment of the Note to reflect the changes to the

MODIFICATION TO INCREASE (THE INTEREST RATE, TO CHANGE THE PAYMENT AND/OR
