Principal Amount: $5,858,134.26

Date of Note: March 5, 2019

PROMISE TO PAY. LF3 Cedar Rapids, LLC; and LF3 Cedar Rapids TRS, LLC ("Borrower") jointly and severally promise to pay to Western State Bank ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Five Million Eight Hundred Fifty-eight Thousand One Hundred Thirty-four & 26/100 Dollars ($5,858,134.26) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.

PAYMENT. 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:  12 monthly consecutive interest payments, beginning April 1, 2019, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate of 5.330% per annum based on a year of 360 days; 47 monthly consecutive principal and interest payments of $34,350.00 each, beginning April 1, 2020, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate of 5.330% per annum based on a year of 360 days; and one principal and interest payment of $5,467,647.10 on March 1, 2024, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate of 5.330% per annum based on a year of 360 days. This estimated final payment is based on the assumption that all payments will be made exactly as scheduled; the actual 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 first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any late charges; then to any escrow or reserve account payments as required under any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security instrument or security agreement securing this Note; and then to any unpaid collection costs.  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 West Fargo/Fargo: 7:00 PM Central Standard Time; Devils Lake: 6:00 PM Central Standard Time, Lender will credit Borrower's payment on the next business day.

ESCROW PROVISION. LF3 Cedar Rapids, LLC and LF3 Cedar Rapids TRS, LLC will be required to escrow for real estate taxes at the Bank for all properties securing this promissory note.  The initial monthly escrow amount will be as follows: (subject to change annually)

 

1230 Collins Road NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402; $9,665.00

LF3 Cedar Rapids, LLC and LF3 Cedar Rapids TRS, LLC will be responsible to ensure the real estate taxes of the subject property or properties are paid in full by the County Treasurer deadline, whether the Bank pays the real estate taxes directly on LF3 Cedar Rapids, LLC and LF3 Cedar Rapids TRS, LLC’s behalf or not. The Bank will not be liable if the real estate tax escrow has insufficient funds to pay for the property taxes.  If the escrow balance is less than the amount due to the County Treasurer on the due date, LF3 Cedar Rapids, LLC and LF3 Cedar Rapids TRS, LLC will be responsible to immediately deposit additional funds to cover the full amount of real estate taxes due. Bank will not cover escrow shortfalls. Any excess escrow funds may be refunded to LF3 Cedar Rapids, LLC and LF3 Cedar Rapids TRS, LLC upon the their request contingent upon the Bank’s analysis of the next real estate tax payment due, the current balance of the escrow account, and future escrow payments.

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 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. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

PREPAYMENT PENALTY. Upon prepayment of this Note, Lender is entitled to the following prepayment penalty: The Borrowers will incur a prepayment penalty equal to 2% of the principal balance of this loan that is paid within the first 12 months of the loan.

At the one-year anniversary, the Borrowers will incur a declining prepayment penalty of 3%, 2%, 1% and 1% of the principal balance of this loan that is paid within the following 4-year period from any proceeds. The prepayment penalty will be 3% of the principal balance if paid within year two, 2% in year three and 1% in any of the remaining two years. The Borrower is not permitted to pre-pay the principal on this loan more than 5% per year. Anything in excess of this amount would require prior written Bank approval.  The Bank would waive the prepayment penalty if the property were to be sold in an arms-length transaction to an independent third party or refinanced onto the secondary market. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay 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: Western State Bank, West Fargo, P.O. Box 617 West Fargo, ND  58078.

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $25.00, whichever is greater.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased by adding an additional 3.000 percentage point margin ("Default Rate Margin"). The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate change that would have applied had there been no default.  After maturity, or after this Note would have matured had there been no default, the Default Rate Margin will continue to apply to the final interest rate described in this Note. 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 ("Event of Default") under this Note:

Payment Default.  Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.

3000 Eagandale Place, Eagan, MN 55121; $14,670.00

LF3 Eagan, LLC and LF3 Eagan TRS, LLC will be responsible to ensure the real estate taxes of the subject property or properties are paid in full by the County Treasurer deadline, whether the Bank pays the real estate taxes directly on LF3 Eagan, LLC and LF3 Eagan TRS, LLC’s behalf or not.

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 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. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

DRAW DOWN LINE OF CREDIT. This Note evidences a straight line of credit. Once the total amount of principal has been advanced, Borrower is not entitled to further loan advances. Advances under this Note may be requested only in writing by the Borrower or as provided in this paragraph. All communications, instructions, or directions by telephone or otherwise to Lender are to be directed to Lender's office shown above. Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (A) advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (B) credited to any of the Borrower's accounts with the Lender. The unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lender's internal records, including daily computer print-outs.

The Borrower is not permitted to pre-pay the principal on this loan more than 5% per year. Anything in excess of this amount would require prior written Bank approval. The Bank would waive the prepayment penalty if the property were to be sold in an arms-length transaction to an independent third party or refinanced onto the secondary market. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay 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.

False Statements.
