Pursuant to a certain Loan and Pledge Agreement dated March 6, 2000, between the Bank and Borrower (the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), the Bank agreed to lend to Borrower the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the "LOAN"). The Loan is evidenced by a certain Promissory Note executed and delivered by Borrower in favor of the Bank in the original principal amount of $1,000,000 (the "NOTE"). The purpose of the Loan was to finance the acquisition by Borrower of certain Promissory Notes (individually, a "COLLATERAL NOTE" and, collectively, the "COLLATERAL NOTES"). The Collateral Notes are secured by, INTER ALIA, certain Mortgages (individually, a "COLLATERAL MORTGAGE" and, collectively, the "COLLATERAL MORTGAGES") on various lands and improvements (individually a "PROPERTY" and, collectively, the "PROPERTIES) described in each Collateral Mortgage. The Collateral Notes, the Collateral Mortgages and all of the other documents and instruments evidencing, securing or executed in connection with the Collateral Notes are referred to herein as the "COLLATERAL LOAN DOCUMENTS." 2. The Note is secured by, among other things, the following documents, all of which are dated March 6, 2000 and all of which were executed and delivered by Borrower in favor of the Bank: (i) a certain Pledge, Collateral Assignment and Security Agreement (the "PLEDGE AGREEMENT") pursuant to which the Collateral Loan Documents were collaterally assigned to secure the Note and (ii) certain Collateral Assignments of Mortgage and Other Recorded Documents (individually, an "ASSIGNMENT OF MORTGAGE" and, collectively, the "ASSIGNMENTS OF MORTGAGE") pursuant to which each Collateral Mortgage and all other related recorded documents were collaterally assigned to secure the Note. The Loan Agreement, Note, Pledge Agreement, Assignments of Mortgage and all other documents executed in connection with or as security for the Loan are collectively referred to herein as the "BANK LOAN DOCUMENTS." 3. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Loan was fully funded by the Bank at the time of the original closing. Following closing, the principal outstanding under the Loan was paid down by Borrower by $700,000 to $300,000 and the Collateral Note, Collateral Mortgage and the other Collateral Loan Documents relating to the property located in Kinder, Parish of Allen, Louisiana were released from all of the collateral assignments evidenced by the Bank Loan Documents. 4.
