PROMISE TO PAY. MDR Hanover Square, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and PMI Hanover Sq., a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, “Borrower”) jointly and severally promise to pay to Langley Federal Credit union (“Lender”), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Eight Million Nine Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($8,900,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from May 4, 2018, until paid in full.

 

PAYMENT. Subject to any payment changes from changes in the Index, Borrower will pay this loan in accordance with the following payment schedule, which calculates interest on the unpaid principal balances as described in the “INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD” paragraph using the interest rates described in this paragraph; 55 monthly consecutive principal and interest payments in the initial amount of $51,992.51 each beginning June 1, 2018, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate of 4.900%; 59 monthly consecutive principal and interest payments, beginning January 1, 2023, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance using an interest rate based on the Index described below, plus a margin of 3.100 percentage points, adjusted if necessary for the minimum and maximum rate limitations for this loan; and one principal and interest payment on December 1, 2027, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using and interest rate based on the Index described below, plus a margin of 3.100 percentage points, adjusted if necessary for the minimum and maximum rate limitations for this loan. The final payment will be for all principal and accrued interest not yet paid, together with any other unpaid amounts under this Note. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied to any accrued unpaid interest. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. All payments must be made in U.S. dollars and must be received by Lender consistent with any written payment instructions provided by Lender. If a payment is made consistent with Lender’s payment instructions but received after 4:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, during Holidays or weekends, Lender will credit Borrower’s payment on the next business day.

 

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this loan is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the daily average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of five years, as made available by the Federal Reserve Board (the “Index”). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower’s request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each 5 years. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate or rates to be applied to the unpaid principal balance during this loan will be the rate or rates set forth herein in the “Payment” section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, after the first payment stream, the interest rate for each subsequent payment stream will be effective as of the due date of the last payment in the just-ending payment stream. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this loan

 

 

 

 

CHANGE IN TERMS

(Continued)

be less than 4.900% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Whenever increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following: (A) increase Borrower's payments to ensure Borrower's loan will pay off by its original final maturity date, (B) increase Borrower's payments to cover accruing interest, (C) increase the number of Borrower's payments, and (D) continue Borrower's payments at the same amount and increase Borrower's final payment.

 

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 30/360 simple interest basis; that is, with the exception of odd days before the first full payment cycle, monthly interest is calculated by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by a month of 30 days. Interest for the odd days before the first full month is calculated on the basis of the actual days and a 360-day year. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

 

PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower's making fewer payments. 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 amount 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: Langley Federal Credit Union, Commercial Lending Department, 721 Lakefront Commons, Suite 105 Newport News, VA 23606.

 

LATE CHARGE. If a payment other than the final payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment.

 

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this loan shall be increased by adding as additional 2.000 percentage point margin (“Default Rate Margin”). The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate change that would have been applied has there been no default. After maturity, or after this loan would have matured had there been no default, the Default Rate Margin will continue to apply to the final interest rate described in this Agreement. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.

 

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

 

Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the Indebtedness.

 

Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

 

Execution; Attachment. Any execution or attachment is levied against the Collateral, and such execution or attachment is not set aside, discharged or stayed within thirty (30) days after the same is levied.

 

Change in Zoning or Public Restriction. Any change in any zoning ordinance or regulation or any other public restriction is enacted, adopted or implemented, that limits or defines the uses which may be made of the Collateral such that the present or intended use of the Collateral, as specified in the Related Documents, would be in violation of such zoning ordinance or regulation or pubic restriction, as changed.

If any default, other than a default in payment, is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Agreement within the preceding six (6) months, it may be cured if Borrower, after Lender sends written notice to Borrower demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within thirty (30) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than thirty (30) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender’s sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

 

LENDER’S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Agreement and all accrued unpaid interest, together with all other applicable fees, costs and charges, if any, immediately due and payable, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

CHOICE OF VENUE. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the applicable courts for the City of Newport News, Commonwealth of Virginia.

 

CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. Upon a default in payment of the Indebtedness at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Natasha Merz, Curtis A. Baker or an authorized officer of Langley Federal Credit Union either one of who may act as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to appear in the Circuit Court of the City of Newport News clerk’s office and to confess judgment against Borrower for the unpaid amount of this Agreement as evidences by an affidavit signed by an officer of Lender setting forth for the amount then due, attorney’s fees plus costs of suit, and to release all errors, and waive all rights of appeal. By a written instrument Lender may appoint a substitute for the above named attorney-in-fact. If a copy of this Agreement, verified by an affidavit, shall have been filed in the proceeding, it will not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney. Borrower waives the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in effect. No single exercise of the foregoing warrant and power to confess judgment will be deemed to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable, or void; but the power will continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as Lender may elect until all amounts owing on this Agreement have been paid in full.

 

STATUTORY LIEN. Borrower agrees that all Indebtedness is secured by all shares and deposits in all joint and individual accounts Borrower has with Lender now and in the future. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to apply the balance in these accounts to pay any amounts due under this Agreement when Borrower is in default under this Agreement. Shares and deposits in an Individual Retirement Account and any other account that would lose special tax treatment under state or federal law if given as security are not subject to the security interest Borrower has given in Borrower’s shares and deposits.

 

COLLATERAL. Borrower acknowledges this Agreement is secured by the following collateral described in the security instruments listed herein:

 

(A) Credit Line Deed of Trust dated November 3, 2017, to a trustee in favor of Lender on real property located in Hanover County, Commonwealth of Virginia further amended by a Modification Deed of Trust dated May 3, 2018, to a trustee in favor of Lender on real property located in Hanover County, Commonwealth of Virginia.

CONTINUING VALIDITY. Except as expressly changed by this Agreement, the terms of the original obligations, including all agreements evidenced or securing the obligation(s), remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Consent by Lender to this Agreement does not waive Lender’s right to strict performance of the obligation(s) as changed, nor obligate Lender to make any future change in terms. Nothing in this Agreement will constitute a satisfaction of the obligation(s). It is the intention of Lender to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of the original obligation(s), including accommodation parties, unless a party is expressly released by Lender in writing. Any maker or endorser, including accommodation makers, will not be released by virtue of this Agreement. If any person who signed the original obligation does not sign this Agreement below, then all persons signing below acknowledge that this Agreement is given conditionally, based on the representation to Lender that the non-signing party consents to the changes and provisions of this Agreement or otherwise will not be released by it. This waiver applies not only to any initial extension, modification or release, but also to all such subsequent actions.
