The outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on January 1, 2014 or upon earlier maturity hereof whether by acceleration or otherwise (the “Maturity Date”). Each such Monthly Payment shall be applied to the payment of interest computed at the Contract Rate (as hereinafter defined), and the balance shall be applied toward the reduction of the principal sum. The Monthly Payment required hereunder is based on an assumed amortization schedule of three hundred sixty (360) months (the “Amortization Period”). Interest on the principal sum of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the related interest accrual period over a three-hundred-sixty (360) day year. The first interest accrual period hereunder shall commence on and Include the date that principal is advanced hereunder and shall end on and include the last day of such calendar month, unless principal is advanced on the last day of a month, in which case the first interest accrual period shall consist of only such last day. Each interest accrual period thereafter shall commence on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Note and shall end on and include the last day of the calendar month. All amounts due under this Note shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim or any other deduction whatsoever.
2. Interest. The term “Contract Rate” as used in this Note means a rate of five and eighty-eight one-hundredths percent (5.88%) per annum.
3. Security. This Note is evidence of that certain loan made by Xxxxxx to Borrower contemporaneously herewith (the “Loan”). This Note is secured by (a) a Deed to Secure Debt, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing of even date herewith in the amount of this Note given by Borrower for the use and benefit of Lender covering the fee estate of Borrower in certain premises as more particularly described therein (the “Security Deed”), (b) an Assignment of Leases and Rents of even date herewith executed by Xxxxxxxx in favor of Xxxxxx (the “Assignment of Leases”), and (c) the other Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined). The term “Loan Documents” as used in this Note means collectively this Note, the Security Deed, the Assignment of Leases and any and all other documents securing, evidencing, or guaranteeing all or any portion of the Loan or otherwise executed and/or delivered in connection with this Note and the Loan.
4. Late Charge. If any sum payable under this Note is not paid within five (5) days of (and including) the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray a portion of 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, and such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents. If the day when a payment required under this Note is due is not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), then payment shall be due on the first Business Day thereafter. The term “Business Day” shall mean a day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, or (ii) any day on which banking and savings and loan institutions in New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.
5. Default and Acceleration. The whole of the principal sum of this Note, together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other sums due under the Loan Documents (all such sums hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Debt”), or any portion thereof, shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender if any payment required in this Note is not paid within five (5) days after the date on which it is due or upon the happening of any other “Event of Default” (as defined In the Security Deed). In the event that it should become necessary to employ counsel to collect or enforce the Debt or to protect or foreclose the security therefore or to defend against any claims asserted by Borrower arising from or related to the Loan Documents, Borrower also shall pay on demand all such costs incurred by Xxxxxx, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred for the services of counsel whether or not suit be brought.
6. Default Interest. Borrower does hereby agree that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (including upon the failure of Borrower to pay the Debt in full on the Maturity Date), Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay interest on the entire unpaid principal sum and any other amounts due at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, or (b) five percent (5%) above the Contract Rate. The Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the date Borrower cures the Event of Default and such cure is accepted by Lender. This charge shall be added to the Debt and shall be secured by the Security Deed. This paragraph, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.
7. Defeasance. The principal balance of this Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part (except with respect to the application of Involuntary Payments (as defined below)) prior to the Maturity Date; provided, however, Borrower shall have the right and option to release the “Property” (as defined in the Security Deed) from the lien of the Security Deed in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in the Security Deed (“Defeasance”). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Borrower shall have the privilege to prepay the entire amount of the outstanding Debt on the first (1st) day of any of the three (3) calendar months preceding the month in which the scheduled Maturity Date occurs without Defeasance or the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium (as defined in the Security Deed) or any other premium or penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to the scheduled Maturity Date and during the existence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall tender payment (and such tender is made on any day other than on the first (1st) day of any of the three (3) calendar months preceding the month in which the scheduled Maturity Date occurs) of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt at any time prior to a sale of the Property either through foreclosure or the exercise of the other remedies available to Lender under the Security Deed, such tender by Borrower shall be deemed to be voluntary and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, the greater of (a) the yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that would be payable in connection with a Defeasance, or (b) three percent (3%) of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. In addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to pay any fee or consideration if, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Security Deed. Lender receives (i) insurance proceeds or other payments as a result of fire or other casualties. or (ii) awards or other payments made in any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings (collectively, “Involuntary Prepayments”), and such Involuntary Prepayments are applied by Lender toward reduction of the Debt; provided, however, if an Event of Default, or an event with notice and/or the passage of time would constitute an Event of Default, exists, then the Borrower shall pay to the Lender an additional amount equal to the greater of (A) the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that would be required if such Involuntary Prepayment had been Defeased, or (B) three percent (3%) of the Involuntary Prepayment. In the event that any such Involuntary Prepayments are applied to the outstanding principal balance due under this Note, Lender shall, upon written notice to Borrower, recalculate the Monthly Payment subsequently due hereunder based on (i) the principal balance outstanding after application of any such Involuntary Prepayment, (ii) the Remaining Amortization Period (hereinafter defined), and (iii) the Contract Rate. As used herein, “Remaining Amortization Period” shall mean the Amortization Period less the number of calendar months for which a Monthly Payment was made hereunder on or prior to the date of the Involuntary Prepayment.
8. Savings Clause. 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 United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this paragraph shall control every other covenant and agreement in this Note and the other Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the Debt, or if Xxxxxx’s exercise of the option to accelerate the Maturity Date, or if any prepayment or the exercise of any Defeasance 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 Xxxxxx shall be credited on the principal balance of this Note and all other Debt and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents 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, forbearance, or detention of the debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Debt until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
9. No Oral Change; Successors and Assigns; Liability. This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. Whenever used, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural the singular, and the words “Lender” and “Borrower” shall include their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators. If Borrower consists of more than one person or party, the obligations and liabilities of each such person or party shall be joint and several.
10. Waivers. Except as specifically provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower and any endorsers, sureties or guarantors hereof jointly and severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of intent to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, protest and notice of protest and non-payment, all applicable exemption rights, valuation and appraisement, notice of demand, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of the payment of this Note and the bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing hereunder or in proceeding against any of the rights and collateral securing payment hereof. Borrower and any surety, endorser or guarantor hereof agree (i) that the time for any payments hereunder may be extended from time to time without notice and consent, (ii) to the acceptance by Lender of further collateral, (iii) the release by Lender of any existing collateral for the payment of this Note, (iv) to any and all renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted by Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and/or (v) that additional borrowers, endorsers, guarantors or sureties may become parties hereto all without notice to them and without in any manner affecting their liability under or with respect to this Note. No extension of time for the payment of this Note or any installment hereof shall affect the liability of Borrower under this Note or any endorser or guarantor hereof even though the Borrower or such endorser or guarantor is not a party to such agreement. Failure of Lender to exercise any of the options granted herein to Lender upon the happening of one or more of the events giving rise to such options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other option at any subsequent time in respect to the same or any other event. The acceptance by Lender of any payment hereunder that is less than payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of the options granted herein to Lender at that time or at any subsequent time or nullify any prior exercise of any such option without the express written acknowledgment of the Lender.
11. Authority. Borrower (and the undersigned representative of Borrower, if any) represents that Borrower has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations pursuant to this Note, the Security Deed and the other Loan Documents and that this Note, the Security Deed and the other Loan Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of Borrower.
