2.Interest Rate.

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, consisting of twelve (12) successive thirty (30) day months. Interest for periods of less than one (1) month shall be computed by multiplying the monthly interest amount as computed above times a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days elapsed in said period and the denominator of which is the actual number of days contained in the month for which the computation is being made.
3.Late Charge. Any payment of principal, interest and/or tax and insurance escrows not made by the Borrowers within four (4) days of the due date thereof shall be subject to a late payment charge equal to four percent (4%) of the delinquent payment amount. The late charge shall apply individually to all payments past due with no daily adjustment and shall be used to defray the costs of the Lender incident to collecting such late payment. This provision shall not be deemed to excuse a late payment or be deemed a waiver of any other rights the Lender may have including the right to declare the entire unpaid principal and interest immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the late charge shall not apply to the principal payment due on the Maturity Date.
4.Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below) beyond any applicable cure period hereunder, the interest rate shall thereafter increase and shall be payable on the whole of the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to seven and seventy-

 

 

eight hundredths percent (7.78%) per annum (hereinafter referred to as the “Default Rate”), which Default Rate shall be effective as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default. The above increase in the interest rate upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be applicable whether or not the Lender has exercised its option to accelerate the maturity of this Promissory Note (hereinafter referred to as “this Note”) and declared the entire unpaid principal indebtedness to be due and payable. The Default Rate shall continue until such Event of Default is cured, payment in full of all indebtedness evidenced by this Note, or completion of all foreclosure proceedings and redemption periods, whichever shall occur first.

All payments shall be applied first to late charges, if any, second to any Reinvestment Charge and/or Default Premium, as defined herein, third to interest at the rate then in effect under the terms hereof and fourth to principal, provided however, that if any advance made by the Lender as the result of a default on the part of the Borrowers under the terms of this Note or any instrument securing this Note is not repaid on demand, any monies received, at the option of the Lender, may first be applied to repay such advances, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, and the balance, if any, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions hereof.

No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other remedy under this Note. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right or remedy on a future occasion.
8.Prepayment Privilege. The indebtedness evidenced hereby may be prepaid in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8 and not otherwise.
a.For the purposes hereof, the term “Loan Year” shall mean a period consisting of twelve (12) consecutive months commencing on the first (1st) day of May or any anniversary thereof, the first (1st) Loan Year being the Loan Year commencing the first (1st) day of May, 2018.

c.After the expiration of the second (2nd) Loan Year, the Borrowers may prepay this Note in full but not in part, provided such prepayment is accompanied by a

 

 

reinvestment charge (hereinafter referred to as the “Reinvestment Charge”). The Reinvestment Charge shall be equal to the greater of:

i)The excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate present value as of the date of such prepayment of each dollar of principal being prepaid and the amount of interest that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such prepayment had not been made, determined by discounting such amounts at the Reinvestment Rate, defined below, from the respective dates on which such payments of interest and principal would have been payable, over (B) one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of this Note being prepaid. “Reinvestment Rate” shall mean the yield to maturity of the U.S. Treasury Note or Bond for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the weighted average life to maturity of the principal being prepaid or paid (as indicated on the display designated as “PX-1” on the Bloomberg Financial Market Screen or such other display as may replace “PX-1” on the Bloomberg Financial Market Screen on the fifth (5th) business day preceding the date of prepayment); or

e.At the option of the Lender, this Note is also subject to mandatory prepayment upon certain events set forth in the Georgia Deed to Secure Debt, the Indiana Mortgage, the Ohio Mortgage or the Tennessee Deed of Trust including prepayments required by Lender to be made out of proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards. In each such instance, the terms of the Georgia Deed to Secure Debt, the Indiana Mortgage, the Ohio Mortgage or the Tennessee Deed of Trust shall govern with respect to the requirement for the payment of a Reinvestment Charge or Default Premium. In the event Lender elects to have proceeds applied to the outstanding balance of the Note, such amounts shall not be subject to a Reinvestment Charge or Default Premium.
f.Any prepayment (other than prepayments pursuant to Subsection 8(e) above) shall be only upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the Lender and any such prepayments shall not suspend required monthly installment payments of principal and interest, and such prepayment shall be applied to required monthly installment payments of principal in the inverse order of their scheduled due dates.
g.Any prepayment of all or any portion of the principal balance of this Note made prior to the end of the second (2nd) Loan Year, for whatever reason, other than as provided in Subsection 8(f) above, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, and, in addition to the other rights and

 

 

remedies provided for herein and in the Georgia Deed to Secure Debt, the Indiana Mortgage, the Ohio Mortgage, the Tennessee Deed of Trust, the Georgia Assignment of Leases, the Indiana Assignment of Leases, the Ohio Assignment of Leases, the Tennessee Assignment of Leases, or any other Security Document, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay to the Lender both the Reinvestment Charge (computed in accordance with Section 8(c) above) and a default prepayment premium (hereinafter referred to as the “Default Premium”) in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the amount of principal prepaid.

9.Prepayment Upon An Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default beyond any applicable cure period under this Note and following acceleration of maturity hereof by the Lender, a tender of payment of or entry of judgment for the amount necessary to satisfy the entire unpaid principal balance declared due and payable shall be deemed to constitute an attempted evasion of the aforesaid restrictions on the right of prepayment and shall be deemed a prepayment hereunder, and such payment or judgment must, therefore, include the applicable Reinvestment Charge or Default Premium payable under the terms hereof in connection with any prepayment.
