Comp. Stat. §205/9 et seq., and the duty of good faith and fair dealing. This release shall constitute a complete defense of all Claims.

THIRD AMENDED REVOLVING NOTE
$10,000,000.00October 11, 0000
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx
THE UNDERSIGNED, Byline Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation, successor by merger to Byline Bancorp, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the “Borrower”), for value received, promises to pay to the order of CIBC Bank USA, formerly known as The PrivateBank and Trust Company (the “Lender”) at its principal office in Chicago, Illinois, the aggregate unpaid amount of all Revolving Loans made to the undersigned by Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement referred to below (as shown on the schedule attached hereto (and any continuation thereof) or in the records of Lender), such principal amount to be payable on the dates set forth in the Loan Agreement.
The Borrower further promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan from the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full, payable at the rate(s) and at the time(s) set forth in the Loan Agreement. Payments of both principal plus interest are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America.
This Note evidences indebtedness incurred under, and is subject to the terms and provisions of, the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2016, together with First Amendment thereto dated April 13, 2017, Second Amendment thereto dated October 12, 2017, and Third Amendment thereto dated October 11, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), between the Borrower and Lender, to which Loan Agreement reference is hereby made for a statement of the terms and provisions under which this Note may or must be paid prior to its due date or its due date accelerated. The remaining outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, which is October 10, 2019. Terms not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the Loan Agreement. This Third Amended Revolving Note (“Third Amended Note”) is an amendment to and restatement, without novation or satisfaction, of that certain Second Amended Revolving Note dated on or about October 12, 2017 (the “Original Note”). Accordingly, Borrower acknowledges that all amounts presently due and owing under the Original Note shall be deemed transferred to and be advanced under this Third Amended Note.
If any attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, or as a consequence of any Event of Default, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, then Borrower shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand all attorneys' fees and expenses, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance owing hereunder as if such unpaid attorneys' fees and expenses had been added to the principal.
No previous waiver and no failure or delay by Lender in acting with respect to the terms of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall constitute a waiver of any breach, default or failure of condition under this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the obligations secured thereby. A waiver of any term of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents or of any of the obligations secured thereby must be made in writing and shall be limited to the express written terms of such waiver. In the event of any inconsistencies between
|
|
8 |
|
the terms of this Note and the terms of any other document related to the Loan evidenced by this Note, the terms of this Note shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, notice of default or delinquency, notice of acceleration, notice of protest and nonpayment, notice of costs, expenses or losses and interest thereon, notice of late charges, and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing under this Note or in proceeding against any of the rights or interests in or to properties securing payment of this Note. In addition, Borrower expressly agrees that this Note and any payment coming due hereunder may be extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of any such party hereunder.
Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, except to the extent that federal laws preempt the laws of the State of Illinois, and all persons and entities in any manner obligated under this Note consent to the jurisdiction of any Federal or State court located in Chicago, Illinois having proper venue and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by Illinois or Federal law. Any reference contained herein to attorneys' fees and expenses shall be deemed to be to reasonable fees and expenses and to include all reasonable fees and expenses of in-house or staff attorneys and the reasonable fees and expenses of any other experts or consultants.
All agreements between Borrower and Lender (including, without limitation, this Note and the Loan Agreement, and any other documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby) are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, the Loan Agreement or any other documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby at the time performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under such applicable laws, and if, for any reason whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would be deemed unlawful under such applicable law, such interest shall be automatically applied to the payment of the principal of this Note (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest or refunded to Borrower if such principal has been paid in full.
Any notice which either party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be governed by the notice provisions of the Loan Agreement.
BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS REVOLVING NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF BORROWER OR LENDER. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS NOTE AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS DISCUSSED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) IT HAS READ AND
