KENNETH ALAN SNITZ
4403 NENANA DR

NOTE. This Commercial Promissory Note will be referred to in this document as the "Note."
LENDER. "Lender" means American Heritage Bank - 4th & Lewis-Midtown whose address is 445 S. Lewis Ave., Tulsa, Oklahoma 74104, its successors and assigns.
BORROWER. "Borrower" means each person or legal entity identified above in the BORROWER INFORMATION section who signs this Note.
PROMISE TO PAY. For value received, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, on or before July 1, 2024 (the "Maturity Date"), the Borrower promises to pay the principal amount of Thirty-nine Thousand Five Hundred Ninety-nine and 00/100 Dollars ($39,599.00) and all interest on the outstanding principal balance and any other charges, including service charges, to the order of Lender at its office at the address noted above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. The Borrower will make all payments in lawful money of the United States of America.
PAYMENT SCHEDULE. This Note will be paid according to the following schedule: 8 consecutive payments of interest only beginning on November 1, 2023 and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter. An increase in the interest rate will result in a higher payment amount. One final balloon payment shall be due on the Maturity Date in an amount equal to the then unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest.
APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments received by the Lender from the Borrower for application to this Note may be applied to the Borrower's obligations under this Note in such order as determined by the Lender.
INTEREST.
Interest Rate and Scheduled Payment Changes. Interest will begin to accrue on the date of this Note. The initial variable interest rate on this Note will be 8.500 % per annum. This interest rate may change on October 2, 2023 and every day thereafter. Each date on which the interest rate may change is called the "Change Date." Beginning with the first Change Date, Lender will calculate the new interest rate based on NEW YORK PRIME in effect on the Change Date (the "Index"). The interest rate will never be greater than 11.000% or less than 6.000%.
PREFERRED RATE REDUCTION. If your loan has an automatic payment from a qualified account, the interest rate may include a preferred rate reduction. Following is a description of the event that would cause the preferred rate reduction to terminate and how the new rate will be determined upon termination of the preferred rate reduction. Description of the Event That Would Cause the Preferred Rate Reduction to Terminate: Cancellation of the Automatic Payment Deduction by the Borrower or Two Consecutive ACH Payments Returned Insufficient Funds. How the New Rate Will be Determined Upon Termination of the Preferred Rate Reduction: The interest rate may be increased by up to .5%
Index Replacement. If the Index is Unavailable on the Change Date, the interest rate will be calculated using a "Replacement Index" and a new commercially reasonable "Replacement Margin."
Index Unavailability. The Index is considered "Unavailable" when one or more of the following events occurs:
(1) A public statement by or on behalf of the administrator of the Index, or supervisor thereof or a relevant governmental authority, that (a) the administrator will cease publishing the Index and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Index, or (b) that the Index has been discontinued, is no longer reliable or representative, or may no longer be used;
(2) The Index is not published by the administrator of the Index for five consecutive business days without advance announcement that the disruption is temporary; or
(3) Lender reasonably determines that the Index no longer reflects the Lender's cost of funding.
Replacement Index and Replacement Margin. Lender will select the Replacement Index and determine an associated Replacement Margin. Lender shall make a reasonable effort to select a Replacement Index and a Replacement Margin that, when added together, Lender reasonably expects will minimize any change to the cost of the loan. The Replacement Index shall be (a) a replacement index selected or recommended by a relevant governmental authority or a committee endorsed or convened thereby, (b) a comparable successor or alternative Index and Margin that is, at such time, broadly viewed as acceptable market practice for similar loans in lieu of the Index, or (c) a successor or alternative Index rate as Lender may reasonably determine. The Replacement Margin shall be determined by utilizing a margin adjustment method which is, at such time, (a) selected or recommended by a relevant governmental authority or a committee endorsed or convened thereby, (b) broadly viewed as acceptable market practice, or (c) any other method as the Lender may reasonably determine.
Compliance with Law. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as to require the Borrower to pay interest at a greater rate than the maximum allowed by law. If, however, from any circumstances, Borrower pays Interest at a greater rate than the maximum allowed by law, the obligation to be fulfilled will be reduced to an amount computed at the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law and if, for any reason whatsoever, Lender ever receives interest in an amount which would be deemed unlawful under applicable law, such interest shall be automatically applied to amounts owed, in Lender's sole discretion, or as otherwise allowed by applicable law.
Accrual Method. Interest on this Note is calculated on a 365/365 day basis.
Default Rate. The outstanding principal balance of this loan shall, while any Event of Default exists under this Note or any other agreement related to the loan, be subject to a default rate of interest equal to 5.000 percentage points over the applicable Index in effect from time to time, calculated as described above in this section.
LATE PAYMENT CHARGE. If any required payment is more than 11 days late, then at Lender's option, Lender will assess a late payment charge of $50.00 or 5% of the amount past due, whichever is greater.
PREPAYMENT PENALTY. This Note may be prepaid, in full or in part, at any time, without penalty.
SECURITY TO NOTE. Security for this Note is granted pursuant to the following security document(s):
• Commercial Real Estate Security Instrument dated October 2, 2023.
RIGHT OF SET-OFF. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that Lender has the right to set-off any amount due and payable under this Note, whether matured or unmatured, against any amount owing by Lender to Borrower including any or all of Borrower's accounts with Lender. This shall include all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. Such right of set-off may be exercised by Lender against Borrower or against any assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of Borrower, or against anyone else claiming through or against Borrower or such assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off has not been exercised by Lender prior to the making, filing or issuance or service upon Lender of, or of notice of, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, or issuance of execution, subpoena or order or warrant. Lender will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor occurs because Lender set-off a debt against Borrower's account. Borrower agrees to hold Lender harmless from any claim arising as a result of Lender exercising Lender's right to set-off.
RELATED DOCUMENTS. The words "Related Documents" mean all promissory notes, security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, business loan agreements, construction loan agreements, resolutions, guaranties, environmental agreements, subordination agreements, assignments, and any other documents or agreements executed in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, whether now or hereafter existing, including any modifications, extensions, substitutions or renewals of any of the foregoing. The Related Documents are hereby made a part of this Note by reference thereto, with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein.
DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any one of the following events (each, an "Event of Default" or "default" or "event of default"), Lender's obligations, if any, to make any advances will, at Lender's option, immediately terminate and Lender, at its option, may declare all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender under this Note immediately due and payable without further notice of any kind notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or any other agreement: (a) Borrower's failure to make any payment on time or in the amount due; (b) any default by Borrower under the terms of this Note or any other Related Documents; (c) any default by Borrower under the terms of any other agreement between Lender and Borrower; (d) the death, dissolution, or termination of existence of Borrower or any guarantor; (e) Borrower is not paying Borrower's debts as such debts become due; (f) the commencement of any proceeding under bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower or any guarantor or the appointment of a receiver; (g) any default under the terms of any other indebtedness of Borrower to any other creditor; (h) any writ of attachment, garnishment, execution, tax lien or similar instrument is issued against any collateral securing the loan, if any, or any of Borrower's property or any judgment is entered against Borrower or any guarantor; (i) any part of Borrower's business is sold to or merged with any other business, individual, or entity; (j) any representation or warranty made by Borrower to Lender in any of the Related Documents or any financial statement delivered to Lender proves to have been false in any material respect as of the time when made or given; (k) if any guarantor, or any other party to any Related Documents terminates, attempts to terminate or defaults under any such Related Documents; (l) Lender has deemed itself insecure or there has been a material adverse change of condition of the financial prospects of Borrower or any collateral securing the obligations owing to Lender by Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Lender may pursue any remedy available under any Related Document, at law or in equity.
GENERAL WAIVERS. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower severally waives any required notice of presentment, demand, acceleration, intent to accelerate, protest, and any other notice and defense due to extensions of time or other indulgence by Lender or to any substitution or release of collateral. No failure or delay on the part of Lender, and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender, shall
operate as a waiver of such power or right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.
JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. The liability of all parties obligated in any manner under this Note shall be joint and several, to the extent of their respective obligations.
SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines any term or provision of this Note is invalid or prohibited by applicable law, that term or provision will be ineffective to the extent required.

HOUSTON, TX 77035
Lender: American Heritage Bank
4th & Lewis
4445 S Lewis Ave
Tulsa, OK 74104
(918) 583-9800
Date of Note: July 1, 2022
Principal Amount: $80,884.84
PROMISE TO PAY. KENNETH A SNITZ ("Borrower") promises to pay to American Heritage Bank ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Eighty Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty-four & 84/100 Dollars ($80,884.84) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance, calculated as described in the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using an interest rate of 6.000% per annum based on a year of 360 days. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance. The interest rate may change under the terms and conditions of the "INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT" section.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in full immediately upon Lender's demand. If no demand is made, Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on January 1, 2023. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid Interest due as of each payment date, beginning August 1, 2022, with all subsequent Interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; and then to any late charges. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.
INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All Interest payable under this Note is computed using this method. This calculation method results in a higher effective Interest rate than the numeric Interest rate stated in this Note.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not be sent to Lender in writing, relieved Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid Interest. Payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language, unless Borrower sends such a payment. Lender may accept it without lapsing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: American Heritage Bank, PO Box 1408 Sapulpa, OK 74066.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 11 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $50.00, whichever is greater.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturation, the total sum due under this Note will continue to accrue Interest at the Interest rate under this Note.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Note:
Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.
Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Guarantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.
Death or Insolvency. The death of Borrower or the dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surely bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, at its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of this Note is impaired.
Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.
ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including without limitation all attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.
GOVERNING LAW. This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Oklahoma without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of Oklahoma.
DISHONORED ITEM FEE. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $2.50 if Borrower makes a payment on Borrower's loan and the check or other payment order including any preauthorized charge with which Borrower pays is later dishonored.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law.

The unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lender's internal records, including daily computer print-outs.

GENERAL PROVISIONS. This Note is payable on demand. The inclusion of specific default provisions or rights of Lender shall not preclude Lender's right to declare payment of this Note on its demand. If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact will not affect the rest of the Note. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them.
