thereon to be computed from the date of this Note at the Regular Interest Rate, and to be paid in
accordance with the terms of this Note and that certain Loan Agreement dated the date hereof
between Borrower and Lender (as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the Loan Agreement). All capitalized terms not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.
ARTICLE 1: PAYMENT TERMS
Borrower agrees to pay the principal sum of this Promissory Note (together with all
extensions, renewals, replacements, restatements or modifications thereof, this Note) and
interest on the unpaid principal sum of this Note from time to time outstanding at the rates and at
the times specified in Article II of the Loan Agreement and the outstanding balance of the
principal sum of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on
the Maturity Date.
ARTICLE 2: DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION
The Debt shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender if
any payment required in this Note is not paid on or prior to the date when due (beyond the
expiration of any applicable grace periods) or if not paid on the Maturity Date or on the happening
and continuance of any other Event of Default.
ARTICLE 3: LOAN DOCUMENTS
This Note is secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. All of the terms,
covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents
are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully
set forth herein. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Note and
the Loan Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement shall govern.
ARTICLE 4: SAVINGS CLAUSE
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) all agreements and communications between
Borrower and Lender are hereby and shall automatically be limited so that, after taking into
account all amounts deemed interest, the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender
shall never exceed the Maximum Legal Rate, (b) in calculating whether any interest exceeds the
Maximum Legal Rate, all such interest shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread over the
full amount and term of all principal indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and (c) if through any
contingency or event, Lender receives or is deemed to receive interest in excess of the Maximum
Legal Rate, any such excess shall be deemed to have been applied toward payment of the principal of
any and all then outstanding indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, or if there is no such
indebtedness, shall be immediately returned to Borrower.
ARTICLE 5: NO ORAL CHANGE
This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated
orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement
in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver,
extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.
ARTICLE 6: WAIVERS
Borrower and all others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt
do hereby severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of
intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest and notice of protest and non-payment and,
except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, all other notices of any kind. No release of
any security for the Debt or extension of time for payment of this Note or any installment hereof,
and no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note, the Loan Agreement or the
other Loan Documents made by agreement between Lender or any other Person shall release, modify,
amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or affect the liability of Borrower or any other
Person who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt under this Note, the
Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. No notice to or demand on Borrower shall be deemed to
be a waiver of the obligation of Borrower or of the right of Lender to take further action without
further notice or demand as provided for in this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan
Documents. If Borrower is a partnership or limited liability company, the agreements herein
contained shall remain in force and be applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals
comprising the partnership or limited liability company, and the term Borrower, as used herein,
shall include any alternate or successor partnership or limited liability company, but any
predecessor partnership or limited liability company and their partners or members shall not
thereby be released from any liability. If Borrower is a corporation, the agreements contained
herein shall remain in full force and be applicable notwithstanding any changes in the shareholders
comprising, or the officers and directors relating to, the corporation, and the term Borrower, as
used herein, shall include any
- 2 -
alternative or successor corporation, but any predecessor corporation shall not be relieved of
liability hereunder. (Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be construed as a consent to, or a
waiver of, any prohibition or restriction on transfers of interests in such partnership, limited
liability company or corporation, which may be set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any
other Loan Document.)
ARTICLE 7: TRANSFER
Upon the transfer of this Note, Borrower hereby waiving notice of any such transfer, Lender
may deliver all the collateral mortgaged, granted, pledged or assigned pursuant to the Loan
Documents, or any part thereof, to the transferee who shall thereupon become vested with all the
rights herein or under applicable law given to Lender with respect thereto, and Lender shall
thereafter forever be relieved and fully discharged from any liability or responsibility in the
matter, but Lender shall retain all rights hereby given to it with respect to any liabilities and
the collateral not so transferred. Notwithstanding the provisions to the contrary, Lender shall
endeavor (without liability for the failure to do so) to provide Borrower with notification of any
change in the entity servicing the Loan; provided, however, it shall not constitute an Event of
Default hereunder if due to such failure Borrower sends any payments required hereunder to Lender
or any predecessor entity servicing the Loan in the event that Lender has not previously notified
Borrower of a change in the entity servicing the Loan.
