2.             Principal and Interest Payments. Payments of principal (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.2.1(b) of the Loan Agreement) and interest shall be payable on the dates specified in the Loan Agreement, except that the Outstanding Principal Balance and all accrued interest shall be paid at the stated or accelerated maturity hereof or upon the prepayment in full hereof.

 

 

 

3.             Security for Note. This Note is secured by a first deed of trust, mortgage, or deed to secure debt (which is herein called the “Security Instrument”) encumbering the Property. This Note, the Security Instrument, that certain Loan Agreement between Borrower and Lender of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) and all other documents and instruments existing now or after the date hereof that evidence, secure or otherwise relate to the Loan and pursuant to which any Person assumes or incurs an obligation for the benefit of Lender, including any assignments of leases and rents, other assignments, security agreements, financing statements, guaranties, indemnity agreements (including environmental indemnity agreements), letters of credit, or escrow/holdback or similar agreements or arrangements, together with all amendments, modifications, substitutions or replacements thereof, are sometimes herein collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents” or individually as a “Loan Document.” All amounts that are now or in the future become due and payable by Borrower under this Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document, including any prepayment premiums payable pursuant to the Loan Agreement as well as all applicable expenses, costs, charges, and fees, will be referred to herein as the “Debt.” The remedies of Lender as provided in this Note, any other Loan Document, or under applicable law shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued singularly, successively, or together at the discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as the occurrence of an occasion for which Lender is entitled to a remedy under the Loan Documents or applicable law. The failure to exercise any right or remedy shall not be construed as a waiver or release of the right or remedy respecting the same or any subsequent default.

 

4.             Intentionally Omitted.

 

5.             Payments. All amounts payable hereunder shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America to Lender at Lender’s Address or such other place as the holder hereof may designate in writing, which may include at Lender’s option a requirement that payment be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire transfer instructions provided by Lender. Each payment made hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds and must state the Borrower’s Loan Number. If any payment of principal or interest on this Note is due on a day other than a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment on this Note received after 1:00 o’clock p.m. local time at the place then designated as the place for receipt of payments hereunder shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. All amounts due under this Note shall be payable without set off, counterclaim, or any other deduction whatsoever. All payments from Borrower to Lender following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default shall be applied in such order and manner as Lender elects in reduction of costs, expenses, charges, disbursements and fees payable by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in reduction of interest due on the Outstanding Principal Balance, or in reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance. Lender may, without notice to Borrower or any other person, accept one or more partial payments of any sums due or past due hereunder from time to time while an Event of Default exists hereunder, after Lender accelerates the indebtedness evidenced hereby, or after Lender commences enforcement of its remedies under any Loan Document or applicable law, without thereby waiving any Event of Default, rescinding any acceleration, or waiving, delaying, or forbearing in the pursuit of any remedies under the Loan Documents. Lender may endorse and deposit any check or other instrument tendered in connection with such a partial payment without thereby giving effect to or being bound by any language purporting to make acceptance of such instrument an accord and satisfaction of the indebtedness evidenced hereby. As used herein, the term “Business Day” shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement.

6.             Late Charge. If any sum payable under this Note or any other Loan Document, other than principal due at maturity or upon acceleration of the Loan, is not received by Lender within five (5) days of the date on which it was due, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount (the “Late Charge”) equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the full amount of such sum or (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to help defray the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such Late Charge shall be secured by the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents. The collection of any Late Charge shall be in addition to, and shall not constitute a waiver of or limitation of, a default or Event of Default hereunder or a waiver of or limitation of any other rights or remedies that Lender may be entitled to under any Loan Document or applicable law.

 

7.             Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (including the failure of Borrower to make full payment on the Maturity Date), Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement), as more fully set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

8.             Origination, Administration, Enforcement, and Defense Expenses. Subject to any express provision of any Loan Document providing otherwise, Borrower shall pay Lender, on demand, all Administration and Enforcement Expenses (as hereinafter defined) now or hereafter incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon at (x) if no Event of Default exists, the Interest Rate, or (y) if an Event of Default exists, the Default Rate, from the date paid or incurred by Lender until such fees and expenses are paid by Borrower, whether or not an Event of Default or Default then exists. Provided no Event of Default has occurred, fees and expenses related solely to origination and administration of the Loan shall be limited to reasonable fees and expenses, but charges of rating agencies, governmental entities or other third parties that are outside of the control of Lender shall not be subject to the reasonableness standard, except to the extent limited by applicable law. For the purpose of this Note, “Administration and Enforcement Expenses” shall mean all fees and expenses incurred at any time or from time to time by Lender, including legal (whether for the purpose of advice, negotiation, documentation, defense, enforcement or otherwise), accounting, financial advisory, auditing, rating agency, appraisal, valuation, title or title insurance, engineering, environmental, collection agency, or other expert or consulting or similar services, in connection with: (a) the origination of the Loan (provided, however, that so long as Borrower shall have paid the fees and expenses relating to origination of the Loan as of the Closing Date, interest shall not accrue thereon), including the negotiation and preparation of the Loan Documents and any amendments or modifications of the Loan or the Loan Documents, whether or not consummated; (b) the administration, servicing or enforcement of the Loan or the Loan Documents, including any request for interpretation or modification of the Loan Documents or any matter related to the Loan or the servicing thereof (which shall include the consideration of any requests for consents, waivers, modifications, approvals, lease reviews or similar matters and any proposed transfer of the Property or any interest therein), (c) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, arbitration, mediation, proceeding or action (whether instituted by or against Lender, including actions brought by or on behalf of Borrower or Borrower’s bankruptcy estate or any indemnitor or guarantor of the Loan or any other person) in any way relating to the Loan or the Loan Documents including in connection with any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, or receivership proceeding; (d) any attempt to enforce any rights of Lender against Borrower or any other person that may be obligated to Lender by virtue of any Loan Document or otherwise whether or not litigation is commenced in pursuance of such rights; and (e) protection, enforcement against, or liquidation of the Property or any other collateral for the Loan, including any attempt to inspect, verify, preserve, restore, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Loan, the Property or any other collateral for the Loan.

If, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other Loan Document at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall involve exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced to allow compliance with the Maximum Legal Rate, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount that would exceed the Maximum Legal Rate, the receipt of such excess shall be deemed a mistake and shall be canceled automatically or, if theretofore paid, such excess shall be credited against the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby to which the same may lawfully be credited, and any portion of such excess not capable of being so credited shall be refunded immediately to Borrower.

 

11.           Events of Default; Acceleration of Amount Due. Lender may in its discretion, without notice to Borrower, declare the entire Debt, including the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued interest, all costs, expenses, charges and fees payable under any Loan Document, and Lender shall have all remedies available to it at law or equity for collection of the amounts due, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the following (the “Events of Default”): an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Document) under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.

16.           Borrower’s Waivers. Borrower and all others liable hereon hereby waive presentation for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, and notice of acceleration, stay of execution and all other suretyship defenses to payment generally.

Such Decision Power and each other power granted to Lender upon this Note or any other Loan Document may be exercised by Lender or by any authorized agent of Lender (including any servicer or attorney-in-fact), and Borrower hereby expressly agrees to recognize the exercise of such Decision Power by such authorized agent. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS BEEN PROVIDED WITH SUFFICIENT AND NECESSARY TIME AND OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE TERMS OF THIS NOTE, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT, AND EACH OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, WITH ANY AND ALL COUNSEL IT DEEMS APPROPRIATE, AND THAT NO INFERENCE IN FAVOR OF, OR AGAINST, LENDER OR BORROWER SHALL BE DRAWN FROM THE FACT THAT EITHER SUCH PARTY HAS DRAFTED ANY PORTION HEREOF, OR THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT, OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
