Payment of this Note is governed by the Loan Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by express reference as if fully set forth herein.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

 

1.             Interest.  The principal amount hereof outstanding from time to time shall bear interest until paid in full at the Applicable Rate, or under the circumstances provided in Paragraph 5(a) of this Note, at the Default Rate.

 

2.             Monthly Payments.  Interest only shall be payable in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar month after the date hereof, commencing on February 1, 2013, up to and including the Maturity Date in the amount of all interest accrued during the immediately preceding calendar month.

1

 

with accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums evidenced by this Note, shall, if not sooner paid, become due and payable.

 

5.             General Provisions.

 

(a)           Regardless of whether an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would otherwise then be in effect, in the event (i) the principal balance hereof is not paid when due whether by acceleration or upon the Maturity Date or (ii) an Event of Default exists, then the principal balance hereof shall, at Lender’s election, bear interest at the Default Rate.  In addition, for any installment (exclusive of the payment due upon the Maturity Date) which is not paid within ten (10) days after the due date thereof, a late charge as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

(b)           Each Borrower agrees that the obligation evidenced by this Note is an exempt transaction under the Truth-in-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1601, et seq.

 

(c)           The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Note comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions;  however, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Note is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Note to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Note shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Borrower and the holder or holders hereof under the remainder of this Note shall continue in full force and effect.  All agreements herein are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the unpaid principal balance hereof, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the holders hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable usury laws.  If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso  facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity and if from any circumstance the holder hereof shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due hereunder and not to the payment of interest.

 

(d)           This Note and all provisions hereof shall be binding upon each Borrower and all persons claiming under or through Borrowers, or any of them, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, together with its successors and assigns, including each owner and holder from time to time of this Note.

 

2

 

(e)           Time is of the essence as to all dates set forth herein.

 

(f)            Each Borrower agrees that its liability shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver, or modification granted or consented to by Lender; and such Borrower consents to any indulgences and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and to any substitution, exchange or release of the Collateral, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and agrees to the addition or release of any makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, all whether primarily or secondarily liable, without notice to such Borrower and without affecting its liability hereunder.

 

(g)           Each Borrower hereby waives and renounces for itself, its successors and assigns, all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshalling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, or exemption and homestead laws now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, by the laws of the United States and of any state thereof against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note.

 

(h)           If this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys for collection or is collected through any legal proceedings, Borrowers promise and agree to pay, in addition to the principal, interest and other sums due and payable hereon, all costs of collecting or attempting to collect this Note, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

 

(i)            All parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether Borrower, principal, surety, guarantor, endorsee or otherwise hereby severally waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest.  No failure to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, acceptance of a past due installment following the expiration of any cure period provided by this Note, any Loan Document or applicable law, or indulgences granted from time to time shall be construed (i) as a novation of this Note or as a reinstatement of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of Lender thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (ii) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by the laws of the State.  Each Borrower hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.

3

(f)            The Assignor shall not accept a surrender of any Lease or convey or transfer, or suffer or permit a conveyance or transfer, of the premises demised under any Lease or of any interest in any Lease so as to effect, directly or indirectly, proximately or remotely, a merger of the estates and rights of, or a termination or diminution of the obligations of, any tenant thereunder; any termination fees payable under a Lease for the early termination or surrender thereof shall be paid jointly to the Assignor and the Assignee;

(k)           The Assignor shall enforce the observance and performance of each covenant, term, condition and agreement contained in each Lease to be observed and performed by the tenants and guarantors thereunder and shall immediately notify the Assignee of any material breach by the tenant or guarantor under any such Lease;

 

(l)            The Assignor shall not permit any of the Leases to become subordinate to any lien or liens other than liens securing the indebtedness secured hereby or liens for general real estate taxes not delinquent;

 

(m)          The Assignor shall not execute hereafter any Lease unless there shall be included therein a provision providing that the tenant thereunder acknowledges that such Lease has been assigned pursuant to this Assignment and agrees not to look to the

 

4

 

Assignee as mortgagee, mortgagee in possession or successor in title to the Premises for accountability for any security deposit required by lessor under such Lease unless such sums have actually been received in cash by the Assignee as security for tenant’s performance under such Lease; and

 

(n)           If any tenant under any Lease is or becomes the subject of any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time, or any other federal, state or local statute which provides for the possible termination or rejection of the Leases assigned hereby, the Assignor covenants and agrees that if any such Lease is so terminated or rejected, no settlement for damages shall be made without the prior written consent of the Assignee, and any check in payment of damages for termination or rejection of any such Lease will be made payable both to the Assignor and the Assignee.  The Assignor hereby assigns any such payment to the Assignee and further covenants and agrees that upon the request of the Assignee, it will duly endorse to the order of the Assignee any such check, the proceeds of which shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 below.

 

5.             Rights Prior to Default.  Unless or until an “Event of Default” (as defined in Section 6 hereof) shall occur and be continuing, the Assignor shall have the right and license to collect, at the time (but in no event more than 30 days in advance) provided for the payment thereof, all rents, issues, income and profits assigned hereunder, and to retain, use and enjoy the same.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Assignor’s right and license to collect such rents, issues, income and profits shall immediately terminate without further notice thereof to the Assignor.  The Assignee shall have the right to notify the tenants under the Leases of the existence of this Assignment at any time.

 

6.             Events of Default.  Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Assignment:

 

(a)           The Assignor fails to pay any amount payable under this Assignment when any such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(b)           The Assignor fails to perform or observe, or to cause to be performed or observed, any other obligation, covenant, term, agreement or provision required to be performed or observed by the Assignor under this Assignment; provided, however, that:

 

(i)            If such failure can be cured solely by the payment of money, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default unless it shall continue for a period of five days after written notice to the Assignor;

 

(ii)           If such failure cannot be cured solely by the payment of money and does not pose an emergency or dangerous condition or a material threat to the security for the Loan, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default unless it shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Assignor; and

 

(iii)          If a failure described in (ii) above is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, and if such failure is susceptible of cure, it shall not constitute an Event of Default if corrective action is instituted

 

5

 

by the Assignor within such 30-day period and is diligently pursued and such failure is cured within 60 days after the occurrence of such failure.

 

(c)           The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

7.             Rights and Remedies Upon Default.  At any time upon or following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Assignee, at its option, may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies without any obligation to do so, without in any way waiving such Event of Default, without further notice or demand on the Assignor, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the obligations secured hereby, without releasing the Assignor or any guarantor of the Note from any obligation, and with or without bringing any action or proceeding to foreclose the Mortgage or any other lien or security interest granted by the Loan Documents:

 

(a)           The Assignee may declare the unpaid balance of the principal sum of the Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, immediately due and payable.

 

(b)           The Assignee may enter upon and take possession of the Premises, either in person or by agent or by a receiver appointed by a court, and have, hold, manage, lease and operate the same on such terms and for such period of time as the Assignee may deem necessary or proper, with full power to make from time to time all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements thereto or thereof as may seem proper to the Assignee, to make, enforce, modify and accept the surrender of Leases, to obtain and evict tenants, to fix or modify rents, and to do any other act which the Assignee deems necessary or proper.

 

(c)           The Assignee may either with or without taking possession of the Premises, demand, sue for, settle, compromise, collect, and give acquittances for all rents, issues, income and profits of and from the Premises and pursue all remedies for  enforcement of the Leases and all the lessor’s rights therein and thereunder.  This Assignment shall constitute an authorization and direction to the tenants under the Leases to pay all rents and other amounts payable under the Leases to the Assignee, without proof of default hereunder, upon receipt from the Assignee of written notice to thereafter pay all such rents and other amounts to the Assignee and to comply with any notice or demand by the Assignee for observance or performance of any of the covenants, terms, conditions and agreements contained in the Leases to be observed or performed by the tenants thereunder, and the Assignor shall facilitate in all reasonable ways the Assignee’s collection of such rents, issues, income and profits, and upon request will execute written notices to the tenants under the Leases to thereafter pay all such rents and other amounts to the Assignee.

 

(d)           The Assignee may make any payment or do any act required herein of the Assignor in such manner and to such extent as the Assignee may deem necessary, and any amount so paid by the Assignee shall become immediately due and payable by the Assignor with interest thereon until paid at the Default Rate and shall be secured by this Assignment.

 

6

 

8.             Application of Funds.  Except as otherwise provided in the Mortgage or by applicable law, all sums collected and received by the Assignee out of the rents, issues, income and profits of the Premises following the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default shall be applied in such order as the Assignee shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

9.             Limitation of the Assignee’s Liability.  The Assignee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by the Assignor resulting from the Assignee’s failure to let the Premises or from any other act or omission of the Assignee in managing, operating or maintaining the Premises following the occurrence of an Event of Default.  The Assignee shall not be obligated to observe, perform or discharge, nor does the Assignee hereby undertake to observe, perform or discharge any covenant, term, condition or agreement contained in any Lease to be observed or performed by the lessor thereunder, or any obligation, duty or liability of the Assignor under or by reason of this Assignment.  The Assignor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify, defend (using counsel satisfactory to the Assignee) and hold the Assignee harmless from and against any and all liability, loss or damage which the Assignee may incur under any Lease or under or by reason of this Assignment and of and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against the Assignee by reason of any alleged obligation or undertaking on the Assignee’s part to observe or perform any of the covenants, terms, conditions and agreements contained in any Lease; provided, however, in no event shall the Assignor be liable for any liability, loss or damage which the Assignee incurs as a result of the Assignee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Should the Assignee incur any such liability, loss or damage under any Lease or under or by reason of this Assignment, or in the defense of any such claim or demand, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, shall become immediately due and payable by the Assignor with interest thereon at the Default Rate and shall be secured by this Assignment.  The indemnity provided in this Section shall be in addition to (but not in duplication of) any other indemnification provision contained in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.  This Assignment shall not operate to place responsibility upon the Assignee for the care, control, management or repair of the Premises or for the carrying out of any of the covenants, terms, conditions and agreements contained in any Lease, nor shall it operate to make the Assignee responsible or liable for any waste committed upon the Premises by any tenant, occupant or other party, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Premises, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Premises resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, occupant, licensee, employee or stranger.  Nothing set forth herein or in the Mortgage, and no exercise by the Assignee of any of the rights set forth herein or in the Mortgage shall constitute or be construed as constituting the Assignee a “mortgagee in possession” of the Premises, in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Premises by the Assignee pursuant to the provisions hereof or of the Mortgage.

 

10.          No Waiver.  Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted to be done by the Assignee pursuant to the rights and powers granted to it hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by the Assignee of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents.  This Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies of the Assignee under the terms and provisions of such instruments, and the Assignee may exercise any of its rights and remedies under the terms and provisions of such instruments either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by the Assignee hereunder.  The Assignee may take or release any other security for the performance of the obligations secured hereby, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable therefor, and

 

7

 

may apply any other security held by it for the satisfaction of the obligations secured hereby without prejudice to any of the Assignee’s rights and powers hereunder.

 

11.          Further Assurances.  The Assignor shall execute or cause to be executed such additional instruments (including, but not limited to, general or specific assignments of such Leases as the Assignee may designate) and shall do or cause to be done such further acts, as the Assignee may request, in order to permit the Assignee to perfect, protect, preserve and maintain the assignment made to the Assignee by this Assignment.

 

12.          Security Deposits.  The Assignor acknowledges that the Assignee has not received for its own account any security deposited by any tenant pursuant to the terms of the Leases and that the Assignee assumes no responsibility or liability for any security so deposited.
