PROMISSORY NOTE
$11,650,000.00
July 31, 2014
Chicago, Illinois
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, IREIT WEST BEND MAIN, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) hereby promises to pay to the order of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Lender”) the lesser of: (i) the principal sum of ELEVEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($11,650,000.00), or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Loan outstanding under and pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as defined herein), and made available by the Lender to the Borrower in the amount or amounts stated on the records of the Lender, plus interest from the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance outstanding from time to time computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of three hundred sixty (360) days at such interest rates for the Loan as set forth in the Loan Agreement (as defined herein), until the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
In no event shall the interest rate exceed the maximum rate allowed by law; any interest payment which would for any reason be deemed unlawful under applicable law shall be applied to principal.
Interest will be computed on the unpaid principal balance hereof from the date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan.
Until the Maturity Date, Borrower will pay interest only on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan outstanding from time to time in such amounts, at such interest rates and at such times as are specified in the Loan Agreement. All principal and accrued and unpaid interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. After the Maturity Date (including the earlier acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note), or if said indebtedness has not been accelerated, during any period in which an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) exists under this Note or any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay interest on the balance of principal remaining unpaid during any such period at an annual rate equal to the Default Rate (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement and incorporated herein by this reference). The interest accruing under this paragraph shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower to the holder of this Note and shall be additional indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

In the event any payment of interest or principal due hereunder is not made within ten (10) days following the date when such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof, then, in addition to the payment of the amount so due, Borrower shall pay to Lender a “late charge” equal to five percent (5%) of the amount overdue in order to defray part of the cost of collection and handling such late charge. The Borrower agrees that the damages to be sustained by the holder hereof for the detriment caused by any late payment is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, and that the amount of five percent (5%) of the amount overdue is a reasonable estimate of such damages, does not constitute interest, and is not a penalty. The final payment of the entire Debt due and payable on the Maturity Date shall not be subject to the “late charge” provided for in this paragraph.
All payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be paid in coin or currency which, at the time or times of payment, is the legal tender for public and private debts in the United States of America and shall be made at such place as Lender or the legal holder or holders of this Note may from time to time appoint, and in the absence of such appointment, then at the offices of Lender, One North Franklin Street, Suite 2150, Chicago, Illinois 60606. Any payment submitted in funds not available until collected shall continue to bear interest until collected. If payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State of Illinois, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding business day and interest shall be payable thereon at the then applicable interest rate during such extension.
The Borrower acknowledges and agrees: (i) that this Note evidences a business loan for the purpose of financing a commercial enterprise carried on for the purpose of investment or profit within the purview of Section 205/4, Chapter 815, of the Illinois Compiled Statutes and is not subject to any usury law or limitation of the State of Illinois, and (ii) the obligation evidenced by this Note is an exempt transaction under the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C., Section 1601, et seq.
This Note is the Note evidencing the Loan referred to in, and is issued pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement of even date herewith by and between the Borrower and Lender (the “Loan Agreement”), and is entitled to the benefits of and subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement, among other things, contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of certain stated events and also for prepayments on account of the principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions specified in the Loan Agreement as may be amended from time to time. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this Note and are deemed incorporated herein in full. All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise specifically defined in this Note, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
The payment of this Note is secured by, among other things, the Mortgage, the other Loan Documents and any other agreements executed and delivered in connection with this Note.

Subject to: (i) the terms of any applicable Interest Rate Agreement and any payments required thereunder, and (ii) the payment of any break funding indemnification amounts owing to Lender pursuant to Section 1.7 of the Loan Agreement, the Borrower may voluntarily prepay the principal balance of this Note, in whole or part, without penalty or premium, at any time on or after the date hereof. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such prepayment on the principal balance prepaid. All prepayments shall be applied to the installments of principal and interest due hereunder in the inverse order of maturity.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or payable or due from Lender to Borrower, or any monies, cash, cash equivalents, securities, instruments, documents or other assets of Borrower in the possession or control of Lender or its bailee for any purpose, may be reduced to cash and applied by Lender to or set off by Lender against the amounts due hereunder.
The occurrence of an Event of Default under Article VII of the Loan Agreement shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Lender’s option, without notice by Lender to or demand by Lender of the Borrower: (i) the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest on this Note shall be immediately due and payable; (ii) Lender may exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement or the Loan Documents or accruing to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant jurisdiction and any other applicable law upon default by a debtor. The rights, remedies and powers of the holder hereof, as provided in this Note, the Loan Agreement and in all of the other Loan Documents are cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively or together against Borrower, any guarantor, and any security given at any time to secure the repayment hereof, all at the sole discretion of the holder hereof. If any suit or action is instituted or attorneys are employed to collect this Note or any part thereof, the Borrower promises and agrees to pay all reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
