8.12 LOAN SALES AND PARTICIPATION; DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION.

Any participation in the Loan may be in any amount and shall not be subject to any minimum and shall not be subject to Borrower’s consent.
(b) Borrower further agrees that Lender may disseminate to any such actual or potential purchaser(s), assignee(s) or participant(s) all documents and information (including, without limitation, all financial information) which have been or are hereafter provided to or known to Lender with respect to: (i) the properties and their operation; (ii) any party connected with the Loan (including, without limitation, the Borrower, any partner, joint venturer or member of Borrower, any constituent partner, joint venturer or member of Borrower; and/or (iii) any lending relationship other than the Loan which Lender may have with any party connected with the Loan in each such case only if such potential or actual assignee or participant shall agree to keep all such information confidential pursuant to Section 8.22.
(c) Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by any assignee to Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between Lender and such assignee, such assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender as set forth in the related assignment and assumption agreement, and the transferring Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment, the original Lender and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and the original Lender, as appropriate, and shall update its records accordingly. In connection with any such sale or assignment, Borrower further agrees that this Agreement or the Note shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of Borrower to each purchaser or assignee, and upon written request by Lender, Borrower shall enter into such amendments or modifications to this Agreement or the Note as may be reasonably required in order to evidence any such sale or assignment.

8.13 CAPITAL ADEQUACY.
If Lender or assignee or participant of the Loans reasonably determines in good faith that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental agency (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender, such assignee, or any corporation controlling Lender or such assignee or participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, Lender’s, assignee’s or such corporation’s commitments or its making or maintaining advances below the rate which Lender, assignee, participant or such corporation controlling Lender could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of Lender, assignee, participant or corporation with regard to capital), then Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand by Lender or such assignee or participant, pay to Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender, such assignee or participant or such corporation controlling Lender or such assignee or participant to the extent that Lender determines such increase in capital is allocable to Lender’s or such assignee’s or participant’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under this Section 8.13 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A certificate as to such amounts, submitted to Borrower by Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned DUKE/HULFISH, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) promise(s) to pay to the order of XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Lender”), at the Winston-Salem Loan Center, Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by Lender, the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS AND NO CENTS ($275,000,000.00), or so much of such principal amount as shall have been advanced or as shall not have theretofore been paid, with interest payable in arrears from the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding, per annum, at one or more of the Effective Rates (as hereinafter defined) calculated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Fixed Rate Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (based on a 360-day year and charged on the basis of actual days elapsed). All sums owing hereunder are payable in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds without offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind.
Interest accrued on this note (“Note”) shall be due and payable on the first (1st) Business Day of each month commencing with the first (1st) month after the date of this Note.
This Note is unsecured but is subject to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof, executed by Borrower and Lender (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).
The outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable in full on September 24, 2011, subject to extension pursuant to the Loan Agreement (“Maturity Date”). Principal amounts outstanding hereunder, upon which repayment obligations exist and interest accrues, shall be determined by the records of Lender, which shall be deemed to be conclusive in the absence of clear and convincing evidence to the contrary presented by Borrower. This Note may be repaid in full or in part at any time from time to time without penalty. If any interest or principal payment required hereunder is not received by Lender on or before the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of the month (regardless of whether the fifteenth (15th) day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday) in which it becomes due, Borrower shall pay, at Lender’s option, a late or collection charge equal to four percent (4%) of the amount of such unpaid payment (“Late Charge”).
If a Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) occurs under the Loan Agreement; THEN Lender may, at its sole option, declare all sums owing under this Note immediately due and payable; provided, however, that if any document related to this Note provides for automatic acceleration of payment of sums owing hereunder, all sums owing hereunder shall be automatically due and payable in accordance with the terms of that document. From and after the Maturity Date, subject to extension pursuant to the Loan Agreement, or such earlier date on which a Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) exists under the Loan Agreement, then at the option of Lender, all sums due and owing on this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to five percent (5%) in excess of the interest rate otherwise accruing under this Note (“Default Rate”).
If any attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Note or the Loan Agreement, or as a consequence of any 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 all costs incurred by Lender in connection therewith, 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 costs 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 the Loan Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any breach, default, or failure of condition under this Note or the Loan Agreement. A waiver of any term of this Note or the Loan Agreement must be made in writing and shall be limited to the express written terms of such waiver. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms of this Note and the terms of any other document related to the Loan evidenced by this Note, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall prevail.
Borrower 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.
Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof. This Note shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to its law regarding conflicts of law, and all persons and entities in any manner obligated under this Note consent to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court within the State of New Jersey having proper venue and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by New Jersey or federal law.
It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section shall control every other covenant and agreement in this Note and the Loan Agreement. If applicable state or federal law should at any time be judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Note or the Loan Agreement, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the Loan, or if Lender’s exercise of the remedy to accelerate the Maturity Date, or if any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of this Note, and the provisions of this Note and the Loan Agreement shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use or forbearance of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding. The Lender may, in determining the maximum rate of interest allowed under applicable law, as amended from time to time, take advantage of: (i) 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, Sections 85 and 86, and (ii) any other law, rule, or regulation on effect from time to time, available to Lender which exempts Lender from any limit upon the rate of interest it may charge.
All of the rights and remedies of Lender under this Note and the Loan Agreement are cumulative of each other and of any and all other rights at law or in equity, and the exercise by Lender of any one or more of such rights and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lender of any or all such other rights and remedies. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall exhaust it or preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every right and remedy may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No failure by Lender to exercise, nor delay in exercising, any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or as a waiver of any default. Any judgment rendered on this Note shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law.
Borrower recognizes that its default in making any payment on this Note when due, or the occurrence of any other Default hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, will require Lender to incur additional expense in servicing and administering the Loan, in loss to Lender of the use of the money due and in frustration to Lender in meeting its other financial and loan commitments and that the damages caused thereby would be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Borrower agrees (a) that an amount equal to the Late Charge plus the accrual of interest at the Default Rate is a reasonable estimate of the damage to Lender in the event of a late payment, and (b) that the accrual of interest at the Default Rate following any other Default is a reasonable estimate of the damage to Lender in the event of such other Default, regardless of whether there has been an acceleration of the Loans evidenced hereby. Nothing in this Note shall be construed as an obligation on the part of Lender to accept, at any time, less than the full amount then due hereunder, or as a waiver or limitation of Lender’s right to compel prompt performance.
All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Note shall be given to the Borrower or Lender at the address and in the manner provided for in the Loan Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein.
The Loan Agreement, together with this Note, contains or expressly incorporates by reference the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters contemplated therein and herein and supersede all prior negotiations or agreements, written or oral. The Loan Documents shall not be modified except by written instrument executed by all parties. Any reference to the Loan Documents includes any amendments, renewals or extensions now or hereafter approved by Lender in writing.
All exhibits, schedules or other items attached hereto are incorporated into this Note by such attachment as set forth in full herein for all purposes. No present or future member, officer, trustee, employee or agent of Borrower shall have any personal liability to Lender under this Note.

EXHIBIT A
FIXED RATE AGREEMENT
Exhibit A to Promissory Note (“Note”), dated March 24, 2011, made by DUKE/HULFISH, LLC, as Borrower, to the order of XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Lender. Borrower has requested and Lender has agreed to provide the option to fix the rate of interest for specified periods on specified portions of the outstanding principal balance as a basis for calculating the Effective Rate on such portions of the principal amounts owing under this Note (the “One-Month LIBO Rate Option”). Borrower understands: (i) the process of exercising the One-Month LIBO Rate Option as provided herein; (ii) that amounts owing under this Note may bear interest at different rates and for different time periods; and (iii) that absent the terms and conditions hereof, it would be extremely difficult to calculate Lender’s additional costs, expenses, and damages in the event of a Default or prepayment by Borrower hereunder. Given the above, Borrower agrees that the provisions herein (including, without limitation, the One- Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment defined below) provide for a reasonable and fair method for Lender to recover its additional costs, expenses and damages in the event of a Default or prepayment by Borrower.
1. RATES AND TERMS DEFINED. Various rates and terms not otherwise defined herein are defined and described as follows:
“Business Day” is a day of the week (but not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday) on which the offices of Lender are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of Lender’s business functions.
“Effective Rate” is the rate of interest calculated in accordance with Section 2 herein.
“Federal Funds Rate” is, for any period, a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal for each day during such period to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal Funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal Funds brokers, as published for such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, for the next preceding Business Day) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for such day on such transactions received by Lender from three (3) Federal Funds brokers of recognized standing selected by Lender.
“Loan Agreement” is that certain Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Borrower and Lender.
“Loan Documents” are the documents defined as such in the Loan Agreement.
“One-Month LIBO Rate” is the rate of interest, rounded upward to the nearest whole multiple of one-hundredth of one percent (.01%), equal to the sum of: (a) two and one half percent (2.50%), plus (b) the rate of interest, rounded upward to the nearest whole multiple of one-sixteenth of one percent (.0625%), that is quoted by Lender from time to time as the London InterBank Offered Rate for deposits in U.S. Dollars, at approximately 9:00 a.m. (California time), for a period of one (1) month (“One-Month Rate”), which rate is divided by one (1.00) minus the Reserve Percentage.
One-Month LIBO Rate = 2.50%
+
One-Month Rate
(1 – Reserve Percentage)
“One-Month LIBO Rate Period” is the period of one (1) month from the first (1st) Business Day of a calendar month to, but not including, the first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month; provided, however, no One-Month LIBO Rate Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date.
“One-Month LIBO Rate Portion” is the principal balance of this Note which is subject to a One-Month LIBO Rate. In the event Borrower is subject to a principal amortization schedule under the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, the One-Month LIBO Rate Portion shall in no event exceed the maximum outstanding principal balance which will be permissible on the last day of the One-Month LIBO Rate Period.
“One-Month Rate” is the rate of interest defined above in the definition of “One-Month LIBO Rate”.
“Regulatory Costs” are, collectively, future, supplemental, emergency or other changes in Reserve Percentages, assessment rates imposed by the FDIC, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to a One-Month LIBO Rate.
“Replacement Rate” is, for any day, a fluctuating rate of interest equal to two and one half percent (2.50%), plus the Federal Funds Rate plus one and one-half percent (1.50%).
“Reserve Percentage” is at any time the percentage (stated as a decimal) announced within Lender as the reserve percentage under Regulation D for loans and obligations making reference to the One-Month LIBO Rate. The Reserve Percentage shall be based on Regulation D or other regulations from time to time in effect concerning reserves for Eurocurrency Liabilities as defined in Regulation D from related institutions as though Lender were in a net borrowing position, as promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or its successor.
“Taxes” are, collectively, all withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to a One- Month LIBO Rate.
2. EFFECTIVE RATE. The Effective Rate upon which interest shall be calculated for this Note shall be one or more of the following:
2.1 Pre-Maturity; No Default. Provided no Default exists under this Note or under the Loan Agreement:
(a) Initial Disbursement; Subsequent Disbursements During Any Calendar Month. For the initial disbursement of principal under this Note, the Effective Rate on such principal amount shall be the One-Month LIBO Rate on the date of disbursement as determined by Lender. Such Effective Rate shall apply to such principal amount from the date of disbursement through and including the date immediately preceding the first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month. On the first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month, any principal disbursed during the prior calendar month shall be added to (or become) the One-Month LIBO Rate Portion for purposes of calculation of the Effective Rate under Section 2.1(b) below.
(b) Monthly Reset of One-Month LIBO Rate. Commencing with the first (1st) Business Day of the first (1st) calendar month after the initial disbursement of principal under this Note, and continuing thereafter on the first (1st) Business Day of each succeeding calendar month, the Effective Rate on the outstanding One-Month LIBO Rate Portion under this Note (i.e., all outstanding principal on such first (1st) Business Day) shall be reset to the One-Month LIBO Rate, as determined by Lender on each such first (1st) Business Day.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, Borrower, by written notice to Lender not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the first (1st) Business Day of any calendar month, may elect that the Effective Rate for all or any part of the outstanding principal balance on this Note for the One-Month LIBO Rate Period commencing on such first (1st) Business Day shall be the One-Month LIBO Rate, as determined by Lender, reset daily. Each such election shall apply only to a single One-Month LIBO Rate Period. Any written request by Borrower to Lender shall be delivered to Lender at the Winston- Salem Loan Center, Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000, with a copy to: 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxx Xxxxx, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by Lender.
(c) If One-Month LIBO Rate Becomes Unavailable. In the event the One-Month LIBO Rate, for any reason, should become prohibited or unavailable to Lender, or, if in Lender’s good faith judgment, it is not possible or practical for Lender to set a One-Month LIBO Rate, THEN the Effective Rate shall be the Replacement Rate.
2.2 Post-Maturity; Default Rate. From and after the Maturity Date, or such earlier date on which a Default exists under the Loan Agreement, THEN at the option of Lender, all sums owing on this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.
3. TAXES, REGULATORY COSTS AND RESERVE PERCENTAGES. Upon Lender’s demand, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to all other amounts which may be, or become, due and payable under this Note and the Loan Agreement, any and all Taxes and Regulatory Costs, to the extent they are not internalized by calculation of an Effective Rate. Further, at Lender’s option, the Effective Rate shall be automatically adjusted by adjusting the Reserve Percentage, as determined by Lender in its prudent banking judgment, from the date of imposition (or subsequent date selected by Lender) of any such Regulatory Costs. Lender shall give Borrower notice of any Taxes and Regulatory Costs as soon as practicable after their occurrence, but Borrower shall be liable for any Taxes and Regulatory Costs regardless of whether or when notice is so given.
4. ONE-MONTH LIBO RATE PRICE ADJUSTMENT. Borrower acknowledges that prepayment or acceleration of a One-Month LIBO Rate Portion during a One-Month LIBO Rate Period shall result in Lender’s incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, on the date a One-Month LIBO Rate Portion is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise (“Price Adjustment Date”), Borrower will pay Lender (in addition to all other sums then owing to Lender) an amount (“One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment”) equal to the then present value of (a) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the One-Month LIBO Rate Portion for the remainder of the One-Month LIBO Rate Period at the One-Month LIBO Rate set on the first (1st) Business Day of the month in which such amount is prepaid or becomes due, less (b) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same One-Month LIBO Rate Portion for the same period if the One-Month LIBO Rate were set on the Price Adjustment Date at the One-Month LIBO Rate in effect on the Price Adjustment Date. The present value shall be calculated by using as a discount rate the One-Month Rate quoted on the Price Adjustment Date. There shall be no other penalty or price adjustment for any prepayment of the One-Month LIBO Rate Portion of the Note other than the One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment above and there shall be no penalty or price adjustment for any prepayment of the One-Month LIBO Rate Portion of the Note which is reset daily.
Borrower confirms that Lender’s agreement to make the Loan evidenced by this Note at the interest rates and on the other terms set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents constitutes adequate and valuable consideration, given individual weight by Borrower, for this agreement.
5. PURCHASE, SALE AND MATCHING OF FUNDS. Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following:
(a) Lender has no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of a One-Month Rate as a basis for calculating an Effective Rate or One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment;
(b) a One-Month Rate is used merely as a reference in determining an Effective Rate or a One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment; and
(c) Borrower has accepted a One-Month Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating an Effective Rate or a One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower further agrees to pay the One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment, Taxes and Regulatory Costs, if any, whether or not Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.
6. MISCELLANEOUS. As used in this Exhibit, the plural shall mean the singular and the singular shall mean the plural as the context requires.
This Agreement is executed under seal concurrently with and as part of the Note referred to and described first above.
