Security Instrument: The Consolidation, Modification and Extension Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Security Agreement dated as of the date of this Note.
Event of Default and other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note (including all Schedules hereto) shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Security Instrument or other Loan Documents.
2. Address for Payment. All payments due under this Note shall be payable at New York Community Bank, NYCB Plaza, 102 Duffy Avenue - 3rd Floor, Hicksville, New York 11801, or such other place as may be designated by written notice to Borrower from or on behalf of Lender.
3. Payment of Principal and Interest. Principal and interest shall be paid as follows:
(a) Short Month Interest. If disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on any day other than the first day of the month, interest for the period beginning on the Disbursement Date and ending on and including the last day of the month in which such disbursement is made shall be payable simultaneously with the execution of this Note.
(b) Interest Computation. Interest under this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
(c) Monthly Installments. During the Initial Period, consecutive monthly installments of interest only at the Interest Rate, each in the amount of Eight Hundred Fifty Six Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy and 83/100 Dollars (US $856,770.83), shall be payable on the First Payment Date and on the first day of every month thereafter to and including June 1, 2027.
Thereafter, during the Adjustable Rate Period, consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest, each in the amount of the Required Monthly Payment (defined below), shall be payable on the first day of each month beginning on the first Payment Change Date until the entire unpaid principal balance evidenced by this Note is fully paid. The initial Required Monthly Payment shall be the amount required to amortize the unpaid principal balance of this Note in equal monthly installments, including accrued interest at the then applicable Adjusted Interest Rate, over the then Remaining Amortization Period. Thereafter, to the extent that the Adjusted Interest Rate has changed, the Required Monthly Payment shall change on each Payment Change Date, and shall be set to such amount required to amortize the unpaid principal balance of the Note in equal monthly installments, including accrued interest at the then applicable Adjusted Interest Rate, over the then Remaining Amortization Period. The amount of all Required Monthly Payments shall be calculated utilizing a 30/360 interest calculation payment schedule.
Any remaining principal and interest, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. The unpaid principal balance shall continue to bear interest after the Maturity Date at the Default Rate until and including the date on which the Indebtedness is paid in full.
(d) Payments Before Due Date. Any regularly scheduled monthly installment of principal and interest that is received by Lender before the date it is due shall be deemed to have been received on the due date solely for the purpose of calculating interest due.
(e) Accrued Interest. Any reference herein to "accrued interest" shall refer to accrued interest which has not been paid and which has not become part of the unpaid principal balance. Any amount added to principal pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise due under the Loan Documents shall bear interest at the applicable rate or rates specified in this Note (including at the Default Rate, if in effect) and shall be payable with such interest upon demand by Lender (or as otherwise provided for in the Loan Documents) and absent such demand (or such other applicable Loan Document provision), as provided in this Note for the payment of principal and interest.
4. Application of Payments. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, Lender may apply that payment to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender's discretion. Borrower agrees that neither Lender's acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender's application of such payment shall constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.
5. Security. The Indebtedness is secured, among other things, by the Security Instrument, and reference is made to the Security Instrument for other rights of Lender concerning the collateral for the Indebtedness.
6. Acceleration. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, the prepayment premium payable under Paragraph 10, if any, and all other amounts payable under this Note and any other Loan Document shall at once become due and payable, at the option of Lender, without any prior notice to Borrower, unless otherwise set forth in the Security Instrument. Lender may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance.
7. Late Charge. If any monthly installment due hereunder is not received by Lender on or before the 15th day of each month or if any other amount payable under this Note or under the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document (other than the payment of the Indebtedness at the Maturity Date) is not received by Lender within 15 days after the date such amount is due, counting from and including the date such amount is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately and without demand by Lender, a late charge equal to five percent (5.00%) of such monthly installment or other amount due. Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees that the late charge payable pursuant to this Paragraph represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment. The late charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Paragraph 8, however, (i) in the event of acceleration of payment of the entire principal balance and accrued interest as set forth above in this Section 7, or (ii) after the Maturity Date as set forth above, no additional late charge will be assessed provided, further, that those late charges which had previously been assessed shall continue to be due and payable.
8. Default Rate. The Interest Rate shall automatically convert to, accrue at and be charged at the Default Rate on the entire Indebtedness upon the occurrence of any of the following:
| (a) | any Event of Default which continues beyond any applicable notice and cure period; |
| (b) | failure to pay the unpaid principal balance, all accrued interest and all other charges due under this Note, the Security Instrument and any other Loan Document on the Maturity Date; or |
| (c) | the acceleration of the Indebtedness in accordance with Section 6 of this Note or in accordance with any applicable provision of any Loan Document including the Security Instrument. |
Borrower also acknowledges that the occurrence of any of the events set forth in sub-sections (a) through (c), above, will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, that during the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender will incur additional review burdens, costs and fees related to such Event of Default and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine any of those additional costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that during the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender's risk of nonpayment of this Note will be materially increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated for such increased risk. Borrower agrees that the increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of the occurrence of any of the events set forth in sub-sections (a) through (c), above, and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a loan which is in default.
9. Limits on Personal Liability.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 9, Borrower shall have no personal liability under this Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document for the repayment of the Indebtedness or for the performance of any other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, and Lender's only recourse for the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and the performance of such obligations shall be Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Mortgaged Property (as such term is defined in the Security Instrument) and any other collateral held by Lender as security for the Indebtedness. This limitation on Borrower's liability shall not limit or impair Lender's enforcement of its rights against any guarantor or indemnitor of the Indebtedness or any guarantor or indemnitor of any obligations of Borrower.
(b) Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the repayment of a portion of the Indebtedness equal to any loss or damage actually suffered by Lender as a result of:
(1) failure of Borrower to pay to Lender upon demand after an Event of Default, all Rents to which Lender is entitled under the Security Instrument and the amount of all unapplied security deposits collected by Borrower from tenants then in residence;
(2) failure of Borrower to apply all insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds as required by the Security Instrument;
(3) failure of Borrower to comply with Article 10 of the Security Instrument relating to the delivery of books and records, statements, schedules and reports;
(4) fraud or written material misrepresentation by Borrower, any guarantor or indemnitor of all or part of the Indebtedness or any officer, director, partner, principal, manager, member, agent or employee of Borrower in connection with the application for or creation of the Indebtedness or any request for any action or consent by Lender or in connection with any Loan Document;
(5) failure to apply Rents, first, to the payment of reasonable operating expenses as they become due and payable (other than Property management fees that are not currently payable pursuant to the terms of an Assignment of Management Agreement or any other agreement with Lender executed in connection with the Loan) and then to Debt Service Amounts, except that Borrower will not be personally liable (i) to the extent that Borrower lacks the legal right to direct the disbursement of such sums because of a bankruptcy, receivership or similar judicial proceeding, or (ii) with respect to Rents that are distributed if Borrower has paid all operating expenses and Debt Service Amounts as they become due and payable;
(6) failure of Borrower to comply with Article 8 of the Security Instrument relating to Environmental Hazards;
(7) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of any guarantor or indemnitor of the Indebtedness;
(8) misapplication or misappropriation of tenant security deposits or Rents;
(9) physical waste of any or all of the Property by Borrower and/or Guarantor;
(10) removal or disposal of all or any portion of the Property other than in accordance with the terms of the Security Instrument;
(11) failure to pay the insurance premium(s) on any or all of the insurance policies required under the Security Instrument, to the extent of gross revenues from the Mortgaged Property in respect of the period during which said premium(s) accrued are sufficient to pay such premiums;
(12) any fees or commissions paid by Borrower after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event Of Default beyond applicable notice and/or cure periods under the Security Instrument or Loan Documents to any affiliate of Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor in violation of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;
(13) gross negligence, or criminal acts committed by, or otherwise allowed to continue by Borrower or any Guarantor or Indemnitor resulting in forfeiture, seizure or loss of any portion of the Mortgaged Property;
(14) the failure by Borrower to pay any real property taxes or assessments relating to the Mortgaged Property, to the extent of gross revenue from the Mortgaged Property in respect of the period when such taxes or assessments accrued;
(15) any failure by Borrower to timely comply with any and all laws, rules and regulations of any applicable governmental authority with respect to (i) limitations on rentals which may be charged to residential tenants and/or (ii) real estate tax benefits and/or abatements granted in connection with such limitations on residential rents;
(16) any failure to pay any mortgage tax due and payable to the City and State of New York in connection with Substitute Mortgage (B) listed as mortgage (k) in Exhibit A attached hereto, and any penalties and interest associated therewith;
(17) any or all claims, suits, liabilities (including strict liabilities), actions, demands, proceedings, enforcements, obligations, debts, damages (including punitive and consequential), fines, trials, penalties, charges, diminution of value, injury to a person, property or natural resources, fees (including attorney=s fees and all fees of any experts and other costs of defense or prosecutions or otherwise related thereto), judgments, accounts, orders, adjudications, awards, liens, injunctive relief, causes of action or amounts paid in settlement of whatever kind or nature, arising from Substitute Mortgage (B) listed as mortgage (k) in Exhibit A attached hereto, as spread to the Property;
(18) any failure by Borrower, and/or its agents, to comply with that certain Order to Repair/Vacate Order #153196 issued by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development for a portion of the Property known as 1414 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11210.
(c) Borrower shall become personally liable to Lender for the repayment of all of the Indebtedness upon the occurrence of any of the following:
(1) Borrower's acquisition of any property or operation of any business not permitted by the Security Instrument;
(2) The occurrence of a Prohibited Transfer, or the occurrence of a Sale or Encumbrance of all or any of the Property; or
(3) if any Proceeding (defined below) shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by Borrower, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower shall be instituted by, or implemented with respect to, Borrower, or if a receiver, liquidator or trustee of Borrower shall be appointed and Borrower or any affiliate or party related to Borrower shall acquiesce in, collude in or otherwise cooperate with such appointment, or Borrower does not file timely objection to such appointment (unless such cooperation is required by law), or Borrower does not file timely objection to such appointment and otherwise take such appropriate actions as would be taken by a debtor to attempt to prevent such appointment, unless otherwise required by law, or if Borrower shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent in an involuntary Proceeding and Borrower or any affiliate or party related to Borrower shall acquiesce to, collude in or otherwise cooperate with such adjudication, unless otherwise required by law, or Borrower does not timely object to such adjudication and otherwise take such appropriate actions as would be taken by a debtor to attempt to prevent such adjudication. “Proceeding” means any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, arrangement, reorganization, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of Borrower, or its debts, whether in any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, receivership, relief or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of Borrower, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower.
(d) To the extent that Borrower has personal liability under this Paragraph 9, Lender may exercise its rights against Borrower personally without regard to whether Lender has exercised any rights against the Property or any other security, or pursued any rights against any guarantor or indemnitor, or pursued any other rights available to Lender under this Note, the Security Instrument, any other Loan Document or applicable law. For purposes of this Paragraph 9, the term "Property" shall not include any funds that (1) have been applied by Borrower as required or permitted by the Security Instrument prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (2) Borrower was unable to apply as required or permitted by the Security Instrument because of a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding.
10. Voluntary and Involuntary Prepayments.
(a) A prepayment premium shall be payable in connection with any prepayment made under this Note as provided below:
(1) Borrower may voluntarily prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid principal balance of this Note and only if Borrower has complied with all of the following:
| (i) | Borrower must give Lender at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior written notice of Borrower's intention to make a prepayment (the "Prepayment Notice"). The Prepayment Notice shall be given in writing (via facsimile, email, U.S. Postal Service or overnight courier) and addressed to Lender. The Prepayment Notice shall include, at a minimum, the Business Day upon which Borrower intends to make the prepayment (the "Intended Prepayment Date"). |
| (ii) | Any prepayment shall be made by paying (A) the amount of principal being prepaid, (B) all accrued interest (calculated to the date of prepayment), (C) all other sums due Lender at the time of such prepayment, and (D) the prepayment premium calculated pursuant to Schedule A. |
| (iii) | If, for any reason, Borrower fails to prepay this Note (A) within five (5) Business Days after the Intended Prepayment Date or (B) if the prepayment occurs in a month other than the month stated in the original Prepayment Notice, then Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to recalculate the prepayment premium based upon the date that Borrower actually prepays this Note. For purposes of such recalculation, such new prepayment date shall be deemed the "Intended Prepayment Date." |
(2) Upon Lender's exercise of any right of acceleration under this Note, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note outstanding at the time of the acceleration, (i) all accrued interest and all other sums due Lender under this Note and the other Loan Documents, and (ii) the prepayment premium calculated pursuant to Schedule A.
(3) Any application by Lender of any collateral or other security to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note prior to the Maturity Date and in the absence of acceleration shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment by Borrower, requiring the payment to Lender by Borrower of a prepayment premium.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 10(a), no prepayment premium shall be payable with respect to any prepayment occurring as a result of the application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award under the Security Instrument.
(c) Schedule A is hereby incorporated by reference into this Note.
(d) Any required prepayment of less than the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note shall not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly installments or change the amount of such installments, unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing.
(e) Borrower recognizes that any prepayment of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, whether voluntary or involuntary or resulting from a default by Borrower, will result in Lender's incurring loss, including reinvestment loss, additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender's ability to meet its commitments to third parties. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon demand damages for the detriment caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages. Borrower therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating prepayment premiums set forth on Schedule A represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment.
(f) Borrower further acknowledges that the prepayment premium provisions of this Note are a material part of the consideration for the Loan, and acknowledges that the terms of this Note are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of the Borrower's voluntary agreement to the prepayment premium provisions.
11. Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay on demand all expenses and costs, including fees and out-of-pocket expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses and costs of investigation, incurred by Lender as a result of any default under this Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note, or to enforce the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, including those incurred in post-judgment collection efforts and in any bankruptcy proceeding (including any action for relief from the automatic stay of any bankruptcy proceeding) or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding.
12. Forbearance. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of that or any other right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of any payment after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for Borrower's obligations under this Note shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available to Lender.
13. Waivers. Except as otherwise provided in the Security Instrument, presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, grace, and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness are waived by Borrower and all endorsers, guarantors and indemnitors of this Note and all other third party obligors.
14. Loan Charges. Borrower agrees to pay an effective rate of interest equal to the sum of the Interest Rate provided for in this Note and any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges of interest or in the nature of interest paid or to be paid in connection with the Loan and any other fees or amounts to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents. Neither this Note nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged under applicable law. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower in connection with the Loan is interpreted so that any interest or other charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges provided for in any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of this Note. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of the Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of the Note.
15. Commercial Purpose. Borrower represents that the Indebtedness is being incurred by Borrower solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family or household purposes.
16. Counting of Days. Except where otherwise specifically provided, any reference in this Note to a period of "days" means calendar days, not Business Days.
17. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the Land is located.
18. Captions. The captions of the paragraphs of this Note are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Note.
19. Notices. All notices, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given by Lender to Borrower pursuant to this Note shall be given in accordance with Section 15 of the Security Instrument.
20. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Note shall be litigated exclusively in the Property Jurisdiction. The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all controversies which shall arise under or in relation to this Note. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise.
21. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (A) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS LENDER AND BORROWER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.

SCHEDULE B
MODIFICATIONS TO AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE NOTE
The Amended and Restated Mortgage Note dated as of the 8th day of May, 2020, in the original principal amount of $329,000,000.00 issued by Renaissance Equity Holdings LLC A, Renaissance Equity Holdings LLC B, Renaissance Equity Holdings LLC C, Renaissance Equity Holdings LLC D, Renaissance Equity Holdings LLC E, Renaissance Equity Holdings LLC F, and Renaissance Equity Holdings LLC G and payable to the order of New York Community Bank is hereby amended as follows:
1. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Borrower, at its option, may elect, in lieu of the adjustable rate of interest as set forth in the Note, to fix the interest rate for the five (5) years following the Initial Period (the “Fixed Option Interest Rate Period”) at a rate equal to the sum of the FHLBNY Index (defined below) and the Spread (defined Below) rounded up to the next one-eighth of one percentage point (0.125%). The “FHLBNY Index” is the Five (5) Year Fixed Rate Advance of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York in effect as of the first business day of the month which is three (3) months prior to the initial Rate Change Date. The “Spread” is 300 basis points. In the event the FHLBNY Index is not available, the Lender may substitute the FHLBNY Index with a comparable index. In no event will the interest rate be fixed lower than 3.125%. The interest rate during the Fixed Option Interest Rate Period as so calculated is called the “Fixed Option Interest Rate”.
The exercise of this option is contingent upon Borrower meeting the following precedent conditions:
(a) Borrower is not in default of the terms and conditions of the Note, Security Instrument or any other Loan Documents during the Initial Period (including, but not limited to, the obligations to make timely monthly payments) beyond the expiration of all applicable notice, grace and cure periods;
(b) Borrower gives written notice to Lender of its election to exercise this option at least thirty (30) days (but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days) prior to the end of the Initial Period;
(c) Borrower must pay Lender an amount equal to one (1%) percent of the outstanding principal balance as of the time of its election to exercise this option.
If the Borrower so elects the fixed interest rate option, then:
| i. | The prepayment premium during the Fixed Option Interest Rate Period shall be as set forth in Schedule A of this Note; and |
| ii. | The Borrower shall make consecutive and equal monthly installments of principal and interest on the first day of each month beginning on the first day of the month following the commencement of the Fixed Option Interest Rate Period and on the first day of each and every month thereafter through and including the month prior to the Maturity Date. The said monthly payments during this period shall be in an amount required to amortize the unpaid principal balance of this Note in equal monthly installments, including accrued interest at the then applicable Fixed Option Interest Rate, over the then Remaining Amortization Period. The amount of such monthly payments shall be calculated utilizing a 30/360 interest calculation payment schedule. Any remaining principal and interest and all other charges, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. The unpaid principal balance shall continue to bear interest after the Maturity Date at the Default Rate until and including the date on which the Indebtedness is paid in full. |
2. The following paragraph is added:
"22. Amended and Restated Note. This Note consolidates, amends and restates in their entirety the terms and provisions of those certain promissory notes secured by those certain mortgages as more fully described on Exhibit A attached hereto (said promissory notes being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Existing Notes") so that this Note shall hereafter constitute evidence of but one debt in the principal amount of Three Hundred Twenty Nine Million and 00/100 Dollars (US $329,000,000.00). The conditions contained in this Note shall supersede and control the terms, covenants, agreements, rights, obligations and conditions of the Existing Notes (it being agreed that the modification of the Existing Notes shall not impair the debt evidenced by each of the Existing Notes). This Note does not create new or additional indebtedness but evidences the same indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Notes and secured by the Mortgage."
