PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$28,095,674.00

   June 26, 2013

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order
of FIRST-CITIZENS BANK & TRUST COMPANY (“Lender”), a North Carolina banking
corporation, at its Loan Operations Center located at 100 East Tryon Road,
Raleigh, North Carolina, or at such other place as the holder hereof may from
time to time designate in writing, in collected funds or U.S. legal tender, the
principal sum of TWENTY EIGHT MILLION NINETY FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY
FOUR DOLLARS ($28,095,674.00), or so much thereof as may from time to time be
owing under this Promissory Note (“Note”), together with interest accrued from
the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance at the interest rate or rates
per annum specified below, until paid in full. Borrower also promises to pay
(i) late charges, prepayment penalties, and other fees and charges as specified
herein, and (ii) the cost of all fees paid or to be paid to public officials for
recording, perfecting, maintaining, canceling and/or releasing any security
interest in any Collateral securing this Note. Interest is to be accrued and
principal and interest are to be paid as follows:

 

1.

INTEREST RATE. Unless and until a “default rate” described in section 7 below
applies, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance at the
variable interest rate per annum of two percent (2.00%) above the one-month
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). However, unless and until a default rate
applies, the interest rate will not at any time exceed the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law, or fall below the minimum rate per annum of three
and one quarter percent (3.25%). The interest rate per annum as of the date of
this Note stated in simple interest terms is three and one quarter percent
(3.25%). The interest rate is subject to change on a monthly basis, with
interest rate changes becoming effective on first day of each calendar month
based on the latest one-month LIBOR rate as published in the Money Rates table
of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the preceding calendar
month. If the LIBOR rate becomes unavailable, Lender may designate a substitute
index and/or margin after notice to Borrower to effect a comparable rate.

All interest on this Note will be calculated on an “actual/360” daily simple
interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the 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. This interest
calculation method results in a higher effective interest rate than the stated
numeric interest rate. Accrued but unpaid interest may be added to the
outstanding principal balance and accrue interest at the then current rate of
interest due under this Note from time to time.

 

2.

PAYMENT TERMS. Subject to the “Extension Terms” below, the outstanding principal
balance and accrued interest shall be payable in as follows:

Principal Payment Terms. The outstanding principal balance shall be payable in
one single payment (exclusive of interest) on June 26, 2016 (hereafter referred
to as “Maturity”).

Interest Payment Terms: Interest (at the rates described above) on the
outstanding principal balance shall be payable monthly beginning July 5, 2013
and consecutively on the same day of each such calendar period thereafter, with
any accrued but unpaid interest due and payable in full at Maturity.

Extension Terms: Provided that no default or event of default exists under this
Note or under any of the other Loan Documents at the time of the request or at
the then-applicable Maturity, Borrower may extend the Maturity for two
(2) successive periods of one (1)-year each if each of the following conditions
have been met: (a) Borrower has, no later than sixty (60) days prior to the
then-applicable Maturity, provided Bank with written notice of its intention to
extend the then-applicable Maturity for an additional one (1)-year period;
(b) (i) with respect to the first one (1)-year extension, Borrower has achieved
a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

defined below) of at least 1.25 to 1.00 for the previous three (3)-month period
measured as of the date of the request and measured again as of the
then-applicable Maturity and has provided evidence thereof to Bank in a form and
substance satisfactory to Bank, and (ii) with respect to the second one (1)-year
extension, Borrower has achieved a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined
below) of at least 1.45 to 1.00 for the previous three (3)-month period measured
as of the date of the request and measured again as of then-applicable Maturity
and has provided evidence thereof to Bank in a form and substance satisfactory
to Bank; (c) Borrower has executed all documentation that Bank may reasonably
request to evidence the extension of the then-applicable Maturity and the
reaffirmation of the Loan Documents, and (d) Borrower pays to Lender (i) an
extension fee in the amount of .25% of the then outstanding principal balance in
connection with the first one (1)-year extension, and (ii) an extension fee in
the amount of .25% of the then outstanding principal balance in connection with
the second one (1)-year extension, provided that Borrower will not be required
to pay the .25% extension fee with respect to the second one (1)-year extension
if the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is 1.75 to 1.00 or greater. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for each of the above extension options, if Borrower has not
achieved the required Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the applicable extension,
then so long as the other conditions are met Borrower may nonetheless exercise
the applicable extension option if Borrower reduces the principal balance
outstanding under the Note by a sum which shall allow compliance with the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio requirement for the applicable extension. “Debt Service
Coverage Ratio” means, for such three (3)-month period, the ratio of: (a) the
rents actually received by Borrower for the “Premises” (as defined below) during
such period less Borrower’s actual expenses for the Premises during such period
and less the pro-rated taxes and insurance payable or paid for the Premises
during such period; to (b) the actual payments made by Borrower under this Note
during such period. “Premises” means the real and personal property comprising
the Project Property as defined in that certain Construction Loan Agreement
dated of even date herewith by and between Lender and Borrower (the “Loan
Agreement”) and being collateral for the obligations of Borrower set forth in
this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall have
no right to extend the Maturity beyond June 26, 2018.

 

3.

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

 

4.

FEES. Loan fees and/or discount points in the aggregate amount of $206,718.00
are due and payable to Lender upon the signing of this Note. This sum may be
included as part of the loan amount and is payable in addition to interest as
provided in this Note.

 

5.

LATE CHARGE. Unless the principal and interest are to be paid in one single
payment, Borrower will pay a late charge of 4% of the unpaid portion of any
payment past due for 15 days or more.

 

6.

RETURNED CHECK FEE. Borrower will pay a $25.00 processing fee to Lender each
time a check, preauthorized charge or other form of remittance given for payment
on this Note is dishonored or returned unpaid.

 

7.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. After an event of default occurs and is continuing
(including failure to pay at Maturity), Lender may, at its option, increase the
interest rate on this Note one or more times to a rate or rates (each a “default
rate”) to be determined by Lender in its sole discretion. However, (a) the
default rate shall never exceed the lesser of 10% per annum or the maximum
interest rate permitted by applicable law; (b) Lender will not increase the
interest rate to a default rate if doing so is prohibited by applicable law; and
(c) Lender will not increase the interest rate to a default rate without first
giving Borrower at least 10 days prior written notice of the occurrence of the
event of default and of Lender’s intent to increase the interest rate pursuant
to this provision, during which 10-day period Borrower may cure the default and
thereby avoid an increase in the interest rate to a default rate. If the default
is subsequently cured after the imposition of a default rate, Lender will,
without notice to any obligor, reduce the interest rate on this Note to the rate
that would then have applied had no event of default occurred. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the interest rate provided for in this Note
(including any default rate then in effect) or the legal rate of interest on
judgments, whichever is greater, shall apply to any indebtedness due following
the entry of a judgment relating to the collection of this Note.

 

8.

Intentionally Deleted.

 

9.

PREPAYMENT; PREPAYMENT PENALTY. This Note may be prepaid in part or in full at
any time without penalty. Lender shall have no obligation to readvance any
prepayment.

 

10.

PAYMENTS.

 

 

(a)

Unless otherwise noted, each consecutive payment is due on the same day of the
calendar period specified.

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)

Lender shall apply payments to this Note as of the business day Lender receives
U.S. legal tender or collected funds. U.S. legal tender shall be deemed received
on the business day it is in fact received by Lender. Collected funds shall be
deemed received on the business day the funds are cleared or otherwise
irrevocably available to Lender. “Business day” shall mean the business day for
Lender’s transactions between the applicable cut-off times on consecutive
banking days.

 

 

(c)

Any item delivered to Lender as payment hereunder which is returned or charged
back to Lender shall be considered as not having been received by Lender.

 

 

(d)

Payments received will be applied to the following in the order specified:
(i) unpaid interest accrued to the date of payment or the date payment is due
(at Lender’s option); (ii) the unpaid principal component of any payment then
due; (iii) unpaid late charges, returned check fees, prepayment penalties,
collection costs, and other charges then due; and (iv) the unpaid principal
balance. Applying payments in the foregoing manner, Lender may, at its option,
satisfy sums owing in the order in which they were billed, assessed, charged, or
accrued.

 

 

(e)

Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “Paid in Full,” “Without
Recourse,” or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may
accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Borrower
will remain obligated to pay any further sums 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: First-Citizens
Bank & Trust Company, Loan Servicing Department-DAC20, P.O. Box 26592, Raleigh,
NC 27611-6592.

 

11.

shall have no duty whatsoever to monitor or verify the use of the proceeds of
this Note or to ensure or verify that any loan proceeds are used for the purpose
described in any of the Loan Documents. Each obligor hereby waives and agrees
not to assert against Lender any claim or defense whatsoever based on (a) the
actual use of loan proceeds, (b) the failure of any loan proceeds to be used for
any purpose described in any of the Loan Documents, and/or (c) Lender’s
knowledge that loan proceeds were not used for the purpose described in any of
the Loan Documents. Lender may delay or forego enforcing any of its rights or
remedies under this Note without being deemed to have waived or forfeited such
rights.

(i)

Any voluntary bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency proceeding, receivership,
or other similar proceeding is commenced by any Borrower or guarantor as debtor

If an event of default occurs, Lender shall not be further obligated to advance
loan proceeds.

 

13.

NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND RIGHT TO CURE. Except as provided in this section, if an
event of default is curable and notice has not been previously given by Lender
of the same or any other event of default more than one (1) time within the
preceding 12 months, Borrower shall have 30 days following Lender’s giving of
written notice of default within which to cure the default before Lender may
require the immediate payment of this Note in full. If the default is curable
but cannot reasonably be cured within the 30-day cure period, and if Borrower
commences to cure the default during the 30-day cure period and diligently
proceeds thereafter to cure such default, then the cure period shall be extended
for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional 30 days (for a total of 60
days) in order to provide Borrower the opportunity to cure the default. However,
Borrower shall not be entitled to notice of default or the opportunity to cure a
default if Lender has previously given notice of a default more than one
(1) time within the preceding 12 months or if the default occurs because of
(a) a failure to pay any payment of principal or any other amount (excluding
interest) as and when due under the terms of this Note or a failure to pay
interest under this Note within five (5) days of the date when due except that
no grace period shall be applicable to the interest due at maturity whether by
acceleration or otherwise, (b) the commencement by any Borrower of any
proceeding for protection under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws, (c) a failure
to maintain in continuous full force and effect any required insurance on
Collateral, or (d) the occurrence of any waste or any uninsured damage or injury
to any Collateral that substantially reduces the value of the Collateral, or the
immediate threat of such waste or uninsured damage or injury. Lender’s notice of
default shall be given in writing and

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall be deemed given (a) three (3) business days after mailed by first class or
certified mail to Borrower at an address Lender has for Borrower in Lender’s
records, or (b) when actually received by Borrower, whichever first occurs.
Notice to any Borrower shall constitute notice to all Borrowers. The provisions
of this section are in addition to and do not supersede or limit the application
of any controlling provisions of the law of the State of North Carolina
concerning notice of default, the right to cure, or the right to reinstate, and
nothing in this Note shall be deemed a waiver of those provisions; provided,
however, that the provisions of this section and any such North Carolina law
shall run concurrently.

Notwithstanding any rights Borrower may have to notice of default and
opportunity to cure, Lender will have no obligation to advance funds under this
Note if: (a) Borrower is in default under the terms of this Note or any
agreement that Borrower has with Lender, including any agreement made in
connection with the signing of this Note, (b) any instrument securing repayment
of this Note is in default, (c) any guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise
attempts to limit, modify or revoke such guarantor’s guarantee of this Note, or
(d) Borrower has applied funds advanced pursuant to this Note for purposes other
than those authorized by Lender.

 

14.

ACCELERATION. If (a) an event of default occurs and Borrower is not entitled
under the preceding section to notice of default and the opportunity to cure, or
(b) an event of default occurs and the default is not cured during any
applicable cure period following the giving of any required notice of default,
then this Note shall, at Lender’s option, become due and payable in full without
demand or notice of any kind. In addition, if Lender has the right to accelerate
this Note under the provisions of any Security Instrument as a result of
Collateral being sold, transferred, conveyed or encumbered, Lender shall not be
further obligated to advance loan proceeds and this Note shall, at Lender’s
option following the giving of any required notice and opportunity to cure,
become due and payable in full without further demand or notice of any kind.
Lender’s failure to exercise any of the foregoing options shall not constitute a
waiver of the right to exercise such options. Waiver by Lender of any default or
right to accelerate shall not operate as a waiver of any other default or right
to accelerate or of the same default or right to accelerate on a future
occasion. Except to the extent North Carolina law permits a default to be cured
and the obligation evidenced by this Note reinstated as though no acceleration
had occurred, acceptance by Lender of payment of less than the entire unpaid
balance after acceleration of this Note shall not cure a default or waive an
acceleration, and Lender shall be entitled to proceed with its rights and
remedies as note holder (and as secured party, if applicable). If an event of
default occurs or this Note is accelerated, interest shall continue to accrue on
the unpaid balance.

 

15.

COLLECTION COSTS/ATTORNEYS’ FEES. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and
provided an event of default has occurred, Borrower promises to pay to Lender
all of Lender’s reasonable and out-of-pocket collection costs and expenses
actually incurred, including, but not limited to, (a) court costs; (b) Lender’s
reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred if this Note is referred for
collection to an attorney who is not a salaried employee of Lender, whether or
not there is a lawsuit; and (c) expenses incurred to (i) trace and/or locate any
obligor; (ii) collect this Note in whole or in part and, where applicable,
reinstate the loan; (iii) trace, locate, recover, repossess, transport, store,
hold, and assess any Collateral (including environmental assessments and
appraisal expenses); and (iv) protect Collateral and Lender’s interest in the
Collateral, including the cost of any bonds. Attorneys’ fees recoverable under
this section include, but are not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees at
trial, for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any
automatic stay or injunction), and on appeal. Costs and expenses recoverable by
Lender under this section shall include sums that may not be taxable as court
costs, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incident to
appellate, bankruptcy, post-judgment and alternative dispute resolution
proceedings. Borrower shall be liable for the payment of all such costs and
expenses as an additional obligation under this Note. All such costs and
expenses shall be due and payable to Lender immediately upon Lender’s payment of
the same, may be added to the principal balance due and, to the extent permitted
by law, shall bear interest at the rate specified in this Note. The repayment of
such costs and expenses shall be secured by all Collateral and by each Security
Instrument. Lender shall have no duty to release Collateral until all such costs
and expenses, in addition to all other obligations secured by the Collateral,
are paid in full.

 

16.

SETOFF. Lender has the right of setoff provided by law and/or as provided by any
deposit account agreement or other agreement any obligor has or may hereafter
have with Lender. Following and during the continuance of any event of default,
Lender may exercise its right of setoff against all accounts, deposits, monies,
securities and other property of each obligor now or hereafter in Lender’s
possession or on deposit with Lender, whether held in general or special
accounts or deposits, whether held alone or jointly with others and whether held
for safekeeping or otherwise. However, Lender may not exercise a right of setoff
against IRA, Keogh, agency, fiduciary or trust accounts. Lender may exercise its
right of setoff without demand upon or notice to any obligor.

 

17.

Intentionally Deleted.

18.

INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER OBLIGATIONS. Lender is authorized to obtain such
information about Borrower’s other obligations as Lender may reasonably request
from the creditors of each Borrower. The information requested may include, but
is not limited to, Borrower’s credit limit, the amount then owing to the
creditor, the terms of repayment, whether the obligation is being paid as
agreed, whether Borrower is entitled to obtain additional credit advances, and
the current payoff amount. The creditors of Borrower are authorized and directed
to promptly provide to Lender the information requested by Lender.

 

19.

BORROWER’S FINANCIAL INFORMATION. For purposes of this section, “Financial
Information” means information relating to a Borrower’s finances. Borrower
covenants and agrees with Lender that, until this Note is paid in full and
Borrower is no longer entitled to obtain credit advances, Borrower will furnish

respect to Borrower’s financial condition and business operations as Lender may
reasonably request from time to time.

Borrower warrants and represents that (a) all Financial Information Borrower has

accurate in all material respects and fairly presents Borrower’s financial
condition and business transactions as of the date of the Financial Information
provided, and (b) Financial Information Borrower provides and that is provided
on Borrower’s behalf in the future will be true and accurate in all material
respects and will fairly present Borrower’s financial condition and business
transactions as of the date of the Financial Information provided. Borrower
further warrants and represents that, except as specifically disclosed in the
Financial Information, (a) Borrower has no direct or contingent liabilities;
(b) title to all assets listed in the Financial Information is solely in
Borrower’s name, and no other person or entity has an interest in such assets;

in the Financial Information; (d) all taxes owed by Borrower have been fully

(a) the copy is a true and accurate copy of the return, as filed; (b) the
original of the return was properly signed or electronically authenticated by
Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf and submitted to the appropriate tax authority;
and (c) the return accurately states in all material respects Borrower’s income,
deductions and tax liability for the period stated. Borrower acknowledges that
Lender has relied and will rely on Borrower’s Financial Information.

Borrower covenants and agrees to send written notice to Lender within five
(5) business days after the occurrence of any change that is both material and
adverse in (a) Borrower’s financial condition or business transactions,
(b) Borrower’s ability to perform Borrower’s obligations to Lender, or
(c) Financial Information previously given.

Borrower authorizes Lender and its affiliates to make such credit, employment,
and investigative inquiries about Borrower from time to time as Lender and its
affiliates deem appropriate to evaluate Borrower’s financial strength,
character, and credit history, to administer this loan, and to collect any sums
owing. Lender is authorized to verify information about Borrower and obtain
consumer report(s) about each individual who signs this Note as a Borrower or in
a representative capacity on behalf of a Borrower.

 

20.

MISCELLANEOUS. This Note shall be the joint and several obligation of each
Borrower. The proceeds of this Note shall be used solely for business,
commercial, or agricultural purposes and not for any personal, family, or
household use. Lender may delay or forego enforcing any of its rights or
remedies under this Note without being deemed to have waived or forfeited them.
No waivers or modifications of the terms of this Note shall be valid unless they
are reduced to writing and duly executed by the party to be charged therewith.
This Note is subject to the provisions of each loan agreement given, received or
signed in connection with this loan transaction, the terms and conditions of
which are incorporated herein by reference. Any failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of any such loan agreement beyond any applicable grace and/or
cure period shall be an additional “event of default” under the terms of this
Note. If the terms of any such loan agreement conflict with the terms of this
Note, the terms of this Note shall control. This Note, each Security Instrument
and all other Loan Documents shall be binding upon Borrower and its respective
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by Lender and its successors, transferees and
assigns. This Note and all guaranties and endorsements of this Note have been
entered into in the State of North Carolina and shall be deemed to have been
made under and shall be governed by federal law and, except to the extent
preempted by federal law, by the laws of the State of North Carolina in all
respects, including matters of construction, validity and performance, but
without giving effect to those principles of conflict of laws that might
otherwise require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Any
action, suit or proceeding relating to this Note or any

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

guaranty or endorsement of this Note may be instituted and prosecuted in the
state or federal courts of the State of North Carolina, and each obligor waives
any and all defenses relating to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts. Any
photocopy, microfilm, microfiche or optical image of this Note may be presented
as evidence in lieu of the original in any legal proceeding to enforce the terms
of this Note and shall have the same validity as the original. Lender may sell,
transfer, assign, or grant participations in all or any part of this Note, and
in connection therewith disclose information (including financial information)
relating to each obligor.

 

21.
