to BTMCC and (iii) a Class B Note in the maximum principal balance of Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000) (of which Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) was outstanding after giving effect to the

BTMCC on March 7, 2003 pursuant to this Loan Agreement and issued the following Notes to the

Hundred Twenty-Eight Thousand Sixty-Eight and 16/100 Dollars ($11,628,068.16), respectively. After
giving effect to such advance and prepayment, the unpaid principal balance of the Class A Notes
issued to BTMCC, Fortis and HSH will be Twenty-One Million Two Hundred Seventy Thousand Eight
Hundred Fifty-Six and 40/100 Dollars ($21,270,856.40), Nineteen Million One Hundred Forty-Three
