FOR VALUE RECEIVED, IIT AURORA DC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) hereby promises to pay to the order of GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY, a Colorado corporation (“Lender”), at its office at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx, 0X0, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Mortgage Investments, or at such other address as may hereafter be specified by Lender, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of Thirteen Million Nine Hundred Eighty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($13,980,000.00) (the “Loan”), together with interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the rate of four and seven-tenths percent (4.70%) per annum until the date repaid, in the installments and times hereinafter set forth.
1. Terms of Payment:
(a) On the date of disbursement hereof, Borrower shall pay interest only on the Loan from the date of disbursement to and including June 30, 2011.
(b) On August 1, 2011 and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter to and including July 1, 2016, Borrower shall pay interest only on the Loan in arrears, payable in sixty (60) equal successive monthly installments of Fifty Four Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Five and no/100 Dollars ($54,755.00) each.
(c) Thereafter, commencing on August 1, 2016, interest and principal shall be payable in fifty-nine (59) equal successive monthly installments of Seventy Two Thousand Five Hundred Five and 57/100 Dollars ($72,505.57) each, to be applied first to late charges and other fees, costs and charges, if any, reimbursable to Lender as provided herein or in the other Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), second to payment of interest at the rate aforesaid, as accrued, and the balance to payment of principal. A final installment in the full amount of principal and interest then remaining due and unpaid, and any other sums outstanding under the Loan, shall be due and payable on July 1, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”).
(d) Interest on the principal balance of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months. If any payment is in an amount less than the amount then due, Lender may, at its option, add the amount of any such deficiency to the outstanding principal balance hereof.
2. Prepayment Privilege.
(a) Borrower may prepay this Note in full, but not in part [except pursuant to the express terms of the Loan Agreement dated June 17, 2011 between Xxxxxx and Borrower and certain Affiliates of Borrower and that certain First Amendment to Loan Agreement between Lender, Borrower and certain Affiliates of Borrower dated of even date herewith (together, the
“Loan Agreement”], provided Xxxxxxxx gives to Lender at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of such intent and provided further that such prepayment is accompanied by all accrued interest, all other fees and costs due Lender hereunder (if any), and a prepayment premium equal to the greater of:
(i) one percent (1%) of the principal balance of the Loan on the date of prepayment; or
(ii) the difference between (1) the discounted value of all required monthly payments for the remaining term of the Loan plus the discounted value of the principal balance of the Loan at maturity, such discounted value to be calculated using a discount rate based on the monthly equivalent yield-to-maturity rate of a United States Treasury Note or Bond plus fifty (50) basis points, and (2) the principal balance of the Loan on the date of prepayment. The “monthly equivalent yield-to-maturity rate” shall be predicated on the then current yield (as distinct from the interest rate) on the United States Treasury Note or Bond having the closest maturity to the Maturity Date, as shown in The Wall Street Journal or, if The Wall Street Journal is no longer published, a similar daily financial publication of national circulation selected by Xxxxxx, on the fifth (5th) business day prior to prepayment.
(b) No prepayment premium shall be due during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the term of the Loan or, provided no Event of Default then exists, upon prepayment of the Loan in connection with the application of condemnation or insurance proceeds in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
(c) After an Event of Default and following the acceleration of this Note to maturity by reason thereof, a tender of payment of the amount necessary to satisfy the entire indebtedness secured hereby, made at any time prior to foreclosure sale, by Borrower or by anyone on behalf of Borrower, shall constitute an evasion of the prepayment privilege and shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment hereunder and such payment, to the extent permitted by law, will therefore include the premium required under the prepayment privilege set forth above.
(d) Borrower shall have no prepayment privileges except as set forth in this Paragraph 2.
(e) Borrower agrees that (i) the prepayment premium provided for herein is reasonable; (ii) such prepayment premium shall be payable notwithstanding the prevailing market rates of interest at the time of prepayment; (iii) there has been a course of conduct between Lender and Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to prepay the prepayment penalty; and (iv) Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from making any claim based upon the unreasonableness of the prepayment premium, the prevailing market rates of interest at the time of prepayment, or the course of conduct between Lender and Borrower. Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the prepayment penalty as herein described is a material inducement to Lender to make the Loan.
3. Late Charges: Any monthly installment payment not received by Lender on or before the fifth day of the month shall entitle Lender at its option, and without the waiver on its part of any other rights, privileges and options it may have or be entitled to by the terms of this
- 2 -
Note or any of the other Loan Documents, to collect from Borrower a late charge to cover the extra expenses involved in handling delinquent payments equal to four percent (4%) of the delinquent installment. This Section 3 shall not apply to the balloon payment due on the Maturity Date.
4. Security: This Note is secured by, among other things: (a) a Mortgage and Security Agreement (the “Mortgage”) of even date herewith encumbering certain premises located in Xxxx County, Illinois (the “Site”); (b) an Assignment of Rents and Leases of even date herewith (the “Assignment of Leases”); (c) an Indemnification Agreement dated as of June 17, 2011 executed by IIT Southwest Chicago TX-GA-PA Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Indemnitor”) in favor of Lender and that certain First Amendment to Indemnification Agreement dated of even date herewith (together, the “Indemnification Agreement”), it being understood and agreed that Indemnitor’s obligations are as expressly limited as set forth in the Indemnification Agreement; and (d) guarantees dated as of June 17, 2011 executed by certain affiliates of Borrower and guarantees dated of even date herewith (collectively, the “Guarantees”). This Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases, the Indemnification Agreement, the Guarantees and all other documents evidencing and/or securing the Loan, as the same may be hereafter amended, are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.”
5. Events of Default: Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (each, an “Event of Default”) hereunder:
(a) If Borrower fails to make any payment due hereunder on the date such payment is due and such failure continues for five (5) days after such due date (other than payments due on the Maturity Date); or
(b) If there occurs any Event of Default under or specified in any other Loan Document.
6. Remedies: Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other sums due or owed by Xxxxxxxx hereunder or under the terms of any of the other Loan Documents shall, at the option of Lender and without notice to Borrower, become due and payable immediately with interest at the interest rate then in effect hereunder plus three percent (3%) (the “Default Rate”) and the prepayment premium set forth above, calculated as if the date of acceleration were the date of prepayment; provided, however, that if an Event of Default occurs for failure to pay all sums due on the Maturity Date, the Default Rate shall be the greater of (i) the interest rate then in effect plus three percent (3%) or (ii) four and fifty-five hundredths percent (4.55%) plus the yield on the on-the-run ten (10) year United States Treasury Note, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if The Wall Street Journal is no longer published, a similar daily financial publication of national circulation selected by Lender, on the Maturity Date. Interest at the Default Rate shall continue to accrue on any judgment Lender may obtain against Borrower on this Note or the Mortgage until the judgment and interest and Xxxxxx’s third party costs have been paid in full. Lender may include any applicable prepayment premium and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit in any complaint, judgment or assessment of damages filed or entered pursuant to this Note and/or the Mortgage.
