PROMISSORY NOTE
$5,000,000.00 | Date: December 22, 2010 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SIR Park Place, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company, with offices at
18100 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 500, Irvine, California (Borrower), absolutely and unconditionally
promises to pay to the order of Ames Community Bank, with offices at 925 Gateway Drive, Grimes,
Iowa 50111 (Lender), the principal sum of FIVE MILLION AND NO/100s DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00), with
interest on the unpaid principal balance to be computed from the date of this Promissory Note (this
Note) at the Applicable Interest Rate (as defined below), in lawful money of the United States of
America, in immediately available funds, which shall at the time of payment be legal tender for
payment of all debts and dues, public and private.
1. PAYMENTS.
1.1. Payments. The principal, interest and all other sums due under this Note
shall be payable at the office of Lender as set forth above, or at such other place as Lender may
from time to time designate in writing, as follows: Commencing on January 1, 2011 (First Payment
Date), and on the first day of each month thereafter (each a Scheduled Payment Date) until the
Maturity Date, Borrower shall make interest only payments at the Applicable Interest Rate in the
amount of all interest accrued during the immediately preceding calendar month.
(a) All amounts due under this Note shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim or any
other deduction whatsoever.
(b) Additionally, payments shall be made on this Note as provided by the Loan Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.
(c) Unless extended pursuant to the provisions of this Note, the entire outstanding
principal balance of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts due
under this Note including all accrued interest and all other payment Obligations of Borrower shall
become due on December 31, 2013 (the Maturity Date).
1.2. Applicable Interest Rate. Interest shall be fixed at 5.25% per annum, except
that during any extension period the interest rate shall be as set forth in Section 7.2(a) below.
NOTICE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE INTEREST RATE ON THIS NOTE BE MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM
RATE ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW. In the event any rate change would result in a rate which would
violate applicable law, the interest rate shall be adjusted to equal the highest rate allowed by
applicable law. Borrower represents and warrants that this transaction is exempt from the usury
laws of the State of Iowa, and intends Lender to rely upon this representation.
1.3 Computation. Interest on the principal sum of this Note shall be calculated
on the basis of a 360-day year.
1.4 Determination. Payments under this Note or any other Loan Document shall be
made in federal funds immediately available in the place designated for payment which must be
received by Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at said place of payment. Payments so made shall
be considered by Lender as having been received prior to close of business, while other payments
may, at the option of Lender, not be credited until immediately available to Lender in federal
funds in the place designated for payment prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at said place of payment on
a day on which Lender is open for business.
1.5 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Loan
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in funds immediately available to Lender on the
date such payment is due from such Borrower to Lender, without presentment, demand, protest or
notice of any kind, all such notices being hereby waived and without setoff, counterclaim or other
deduction of any nature. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be
made on the next following Business Day.
1.6 Application. Payments under this Note shall be applied first to the payment of
late fees and other costs and charges due in connection with this Note or the other Loan Documents,
as Lender determines in its sole discretion, then to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest,
and then to reduction of the outstanding principal balance (in inverse order of maturity whether or
not then due).
1.7. Definitions. All capitalized terms used in this Note without definition
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Documents, all of the terms of such Loan
Documents being hereby incorporated into and made part of this Note by reference for all purposes.
Additionally, for purposes of this Note, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
Default Rate has the meaning given thereto in Section 2.4.
Interest Accrual Period means the calendar month.
Loan Agreement means that certain Loan Agreement dated as of even date herewith
between Borrower and Lender, as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time.
2 DEFAULT.
2.1 Late Fee. If any sum payable under this Note or any other Loan Document is
not paid on or before the fifth (5th) day after the date due, Borrower shall pay a Late Fee of five
percent (5%) of the payment due that shall be added to the amount of principal and interest due
with each such late payment. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Late Fee is not a penalty
but is intended to defray costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with each such late
payment. If the amount noted herein is prohibited or restricted by Legal Requirements, the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law to defray the expenses
2
incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the
use of such delinquent payment and such amount shall be added to each such payment and shall be
secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
2.2 Remedies. Upon the commencement of an Event of Default, the entire
outstanding principal sum of this Note, together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and
all other sums due under this Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, or
any portion thereof shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as defined in the Loan Agreement or in any of the Loan
Documents. Time is of the essence in this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan
Documents. If Borrowers obligations under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents to which
it is a party are enforced by Lender through an attorney-at-law, or any payment due under this Note
or the other Loan Documents is collected by or through an attorney-at-law or collection agency,
Borrower agrees to pay all costs incurred by Lender in connection therewith, including, but not
limited to, internal administrative costs, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements (whether
with respect to a retained firm or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lenders in-house
staff), collection agency costs, whether or not suit be brought, and any and all costs or fees
arising as a result of the filing of or during the course of any case under any Bankruptcy Laws (as
defined in the Loan Agreement) with respect to any of the Borrower Parties.
2.3. Copy of Note. If a copy of this Note, verified by an affidavit, shall be
filed in any proceeding, it will not be necessary to file the original. Borrower waives the right
to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in effect.
2.4 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be
entitled to receive, and Borrower shall pay interest on, the entire unpaid principal sum at the
rate of 10% per annum (the Default Rate) on all amounts due to Lender from Borrower pursuant to
this Note. The Default Rate shall be automatically computed from the occurrence of the Event of
Default and shall remain in effect until the actual receipt and collection of this Note in full has
been accomplished and all other amounts due to Lender from Borrower pursuant to this Note or other
Loan Documents have been fully paid or, if permitted by Lender, the date upon which such Event of
Default is cured. This charge shall be added to this Note, and shall be deemed secured by the
Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. This clause, however, shall not be construed as
an agreement or privilege to extend the date of any payment due pursuant to this Note including,
but not limited to, the Maturity Date, or to the payment of any other sums payable under the Loan
Documents, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the
occurrence of any Event of Default. In the event the Default Rate would otherwise exceed the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the Default Rate shall be the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law.
2.5 Post-Judgment. Interest shall accrue on any judgment obtained by Lender in
connection with the enforcement or collection of this Note or the other Loan Documents (including
foreclosure of the Security Instrument) until such judgment amount is irrevocably paid in full at a
rate equal to the greater of (a) the Default Rate or (b) the highest legal rate applicable to
judgments within such jurisdiction; provided, however, that interest shall not accrue
3
at a rate in excess of the maximum rate of interest, if any, which may be charged by Lender or collected from
any Borrower under applicable law.
3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO LENDER UNDER THIS NOTE AND IN
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, SHALL BE CUMULATIVE AND CONCURRENT, AND MAY BE
PURSUED SINGLY, SUCCESSIVELY OR TOGETHER IN LENDERS SOLE DISCRETION AND AS OFTEN AS OCCASION
THEREFOR SHALL ARISE EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT.
4 PREPAYMENT. Borrower may prepay without penalty all or a portion of the
amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments may reduce the principal balance and the amount
of interest due. Borrower shall have sole discretion to direct how any early payments are applied,
provided that Borrower is current on all interest payments.
5 SECURITY. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is governed by the Loan
Agreement and the obligations created thereby (including without limitation the amounts authorized
by Section 2 to be collected by Lender) are secured by, among other things, the Security Instrument
and other Loan Documents.
6 GENERAL
6.1 Written Amendment Only. 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 Borrower and Lender.
6.2 Certain Waivers. Except for any notices specifically required by the Loan
Agreement, 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, protest and
notice of protest, notice of non-payment and notice of intent to accelerate the maturity hereof
(and of such acceleration). No release of any security for the Loan 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 or the other Loan Documents made by agreement between Lender and any Person
other than Borrower 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 and the other Loan Documents. Lender may release any
guarantor or indemnitor of the Loan from liability, in every instance without the consent of the
Borrower hereunder, and without waiving any rights the Lender may have hereunder, under the other
Loan Documents.
6.3 Severability. If any provision or obligation under this Note and the other
Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that provision or obligation shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents
4
and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in
full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision or obligation had never been
a part of the Loan Documents.
6.4 Notices. All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be given
and become effective as provided in the Loan Agreement.
6.5 Set-Off Preference. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Note
or the Loan Documents, Borrower is and shall be obligated to pay principal, interest and any and
all other amounts for which such Borrower is liable which become payable hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents absolutely and unconditionally and without any abatement, postponement,
diminution or deduction and without any reduction for counterclaim or setoff. In the event that at
any time any payment received by Lender hereunder shall be deemed by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other debtor relief law, then the obligation to make such payment shall survive any
cancellation or satisfaction of this Note or return thereof to Borrower and shall not be discharged
or satisfied with any prior payment thereof or cancellation of this Note, but shall remain a valid
and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and such
payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.
6.6 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions hereof shall be binding
upon, and inure to the benefit of, Borrower and Lender and their respective heirs, executors, legal
representatives, successors, successors-in-title and permitted assigns, whether by voluntary action
of the parties or by operation of law. As used in this Note and the other Loan Documents, the
terms Borrower and Lender shall be deemed to include their respective heirs, executors, legal
representatives, successors, successors-in-title and permitted assigns (no right to assign on the
part of Borrower being implied hereby), whether by voluntary action of the parties or by operation
of law.
6.7 Interpretation. All references to sections, schedules and exhibits are to
sections, schedules and exhibits in or to this Note unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise
specified, the words hereof, herein and hereunder and words of similar import when used in
this Note shall refer to this Note as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Note.
