Exhibit 10.2
$14,250,000 | Dated: October 20, 2010 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, UNILIFE CROSS FARM LLC (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of
METRO BANK (“Lender”) at its address at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 or at such other
place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of Fourteen Million
Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($14,250,000.00) or, if less, such amount as may be
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans or advances made by Xxxxxx to Borrower pursuant
hereto with interest, on the terms and conditions described below.
1. Payments; Maturity. The entire outstanding principal sum under this Note shall be
due and payable twenty (20) years from the completion of the Construction Period, as that term is
defined in the Loan Agreement (the “Maturity Date”).
Subject to any payment changes resulting from changes in the Index, Borrower will pay this
loan, first, in not more than eighteen (18) months of interest payments and then in two-hundred
forty (240) months of principal and interest payments based on a twenty (20) year amortization, in
accordance with the following payment schedule:
Consecutive monthly payments of interest only during the Construction Period calculated on the
unpaid principal balance at a rate based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1.5% per annum,
with a floor of 4.5% per annum; Sixty (60) consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest
in amounts to be determined upon the interest rates in effect at the time of such determination and
the remaining amortization period, beginning at the completion of the Construction Period, with
interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance at a fixed rate based on the five (5) year
Treasury-bill plus three hundred (300) basis points per annum, with a floor of 6% per annum; One
Hundred Eighty (180) consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest in amounts to be
determined, beginning five (5) years from the completion of the Construction Period, with interest
to be calculated on the unpaid principal balance at a rate to be negotiated between the parties, or
if no rate is negotiated, based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1% per annum, with a
floor to be set not to exceed two hundred fifty (250) basis points over the Prime Rate; and One (1)
final payment of principal and interest twenty (20) years from the completion of the Construction
Period. The final payment will include all remaining principal and accrued interest not yet paid,
together with any other unpaid amounts under this Note. The payments referred to herein are based
on the loan being fully-funded at the end of the Construction Period.
Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any
accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any unpaid collection costs; and then to any
late charges. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by
applying the ratio of the annual 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. Borrower will pay Lender at Xxxxxx’s address shown above or at such other place
as Lender may designate in writing.
The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based
on changes in an independent index which is the Prime Rate as published in the Money Rate Section
of the Wall Street Journal. If a range of rates is published, the highest will be used (the
“Index”). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the
Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index
after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Xxxxxxxx’s
request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than quarterly. Borrower understands
that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well.
2. Default Rate. Notwithstanding the above, on the occurrence of any Event of
Default, the interest rate provided in this Note shall immediately and automatically increase by
four percent (4%) per annum above the rate provided above (the “Default Rate”). Borrower
recognizes and acknowledges that: (i) this Section 3 is a material inducement for Lender to extend
credit to the Borrower; (ii) Lender would not have extended credit to Borrower in the absence of
the provisions of this Section 3; (iii) amounts required to be paid by Borrower under this Section
3 represent compensation for increased risk to Lender that the Debt (as hereinafter defined)
evidenced hereby will not be repaid; and (iv) amounts required to be paid by Borrower under this
Section 3 are not a penalty and represent a reasonable estimate of (x) the cost to Lender in
allocating its resources (both personnel and financial) to the on-going review, monitoring,
administration, and collection of the Debt evidenced hereby, and (y) compensation to Lender for
losses that are difficult to ascertain.
3. Post-Judgment Interest. The interest rate or rates provided in this Note shall
apply to the indebtedness evidenced hereby before, on, and after the date or dates on which Xxxxxx
enters judgment on this Note.
4. Late Payment Charges. If Borrower shall fail to pay any installment of interest or
the principal payment due under this Note or any other sum due to Lender under any of the Loan
Documents within ten (10) days of the date it is due, Borrower shall pay to the order of Lender,
immediately, without notice or demand, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount
overdue to defray part of the additional expense incurred by Lender in connection with the
delinquency and collection of the overdue amount. The provision for such late charge shall not be
construed to permit Borrower to make any payment after its due date, obligate Lender to accept any
overdue installment, or affect Lender’s rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default.
5. Prepayment Penalty. Xxxxxx is entitled to collect and Xxxxxxxx shall pay a
prepayment penalty in the amount of 2% during the first three (3) years of any fixed rate period.
Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Xxxxxx in writing, relieve Xxxxxxxx of Xxxxxxxx’s
obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will
reduce the principal balance due and may result in Xxxxxxxx’s making fewer payments. Xxxxxxxx
agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language.
If Borrower sends such a payment, Xxxxxx may accept it without losing any of Xxxxxx’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: METRO BANK, COMMERCIAL BUSINESS DEPARTMENT, 0000
XXXXXX XXXXXX, XXXXXXXXXX, XX 00000.
