(a)
Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the Adjustable Interest Rate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Note.
 
Multifamily Multistate Note – Adjustable Rate – Portfolio Execution
Page 4
 
 

 

 
(b)
Interest under this Note shall be computed, payable and allocated on the basis of an actual/360 interest calculation schedule (interest is payable for the actual number of days in each month, and each month’s interest is calculated by multiplying the unpaid principal amount of this Note as of the first day of the month for which interest is being calculated by the applicable Adjustable Interest Rate, dividing the product by 360, and multiplying the quotient by the number of days in the month for which interest is being calculated).  For convenience in determining the amount of a monthly installment of principal and interest under this Note, Lender will use a 30/360 interest calculation payment schedule (each year is treated as consisting of twelve 30-day months).  However, as provided above, the portion of the monthly installment actually payable as and allocated to interest will be based upon an actual/360 interest calculation schedule, and the amount of each installment attributable to principal and the amount attributable to interest will vary based upon the number of days in the month for which such installment is paid.  Each monthly payment of principal and interest will first be applied to pay in full interest due, and the balance of the monthly payment paid by Borrower will be credited to principal.

 
(c)
Unless disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, interest for the period beginning on the date of disbursement and ending on and including the last day of such calendar month shall be payable by Borrower simultaneously with the execution of this Note.  If disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, then no payment will be due from Borrower at the time of the execution of this Note.  The Installment Due Date for the first monthly installment payment under Section 3(d) of interest only or principal and interest, as applicable, will be the First Installment Due Date set forth in Section 1(a) of this Note.  Except as provided in this Section 3(c) and in Section 10, accrued interest will be payable in arrears.

 
 (d)
(i)
Beginning on the First Installment Due Date, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on May 1, 2014, accrued interest only shall be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month.  The amount of the monthly installment of interest only payable pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i) on an Installment Due Date shall equal the product of (A) annual interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the first day of the Interest Adjustment Period immediately preceding the Installment Due Date at the Adjustable Interest Rate in effect for such Interest Adjustment Period, divided by 360, multiplied by (B) the number of days in such Interest Adjustment Period.

 
(ii)
Beginning on June 1, 2014, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on the Maturity Date, principal and accrued interest shall be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month.  The amount of the monthly installment of principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3(d)(ii) on an Installment Due Date shall be calculated so as to equal the monthly payment amount which would be payable on the Installment Due Date as if the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the first day of the Interest Adjustment Period immediately preceding the Installment Due Date was to be fully amortized, together with interest thereon at the Adjustable Interest Rate in effect for such Interest Adjustment Period, in equal consecutive monthly payments paid on the first day of each calendar month over the Remaining Amortization Period.

Page 5
 
 

 

 
(e)
All remaining Indebtedness, including all principal and interest, shall be due and payable by Borrower on the Maturity Date.

 
(f)
Lender shall provide Borrower with Notice, given in the manner specified in the Security Instrument, of the amount of each monthly installment due under this Note.  However, if Lender has not provided Borrower with prior notice of the monthly payment due on any Installment Due Date, then Borrower shall pay on that Installment Due Date an amount equal to the monthly installment payment for which Borrower last received notice.  If Lender at any time determines that Borrower has paid one or more monthly installments in an incorrect amount because of the operation of the preceding sentence, or because Lender has miscalculated the Adjustable Interest Rate or has otherwise miscalculated the amount of any monthly installment, then Lender shall give notice to Borrower of such determination.  If such determination discloses that Borrower has paid less than the full amount due for the period for which the determination was made, Borrower, within 30 calendar days after receipt of the notice from Lender, shall pay to Lender the full amount of the deficiency.  If such determination discloses that Borrower has paid more than the full amount due for the period for which the determination was made, then the amount of the overpayment shall be credited to the next installment(s) of interest only or principal and interest, as applicable, due under this Note (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such overpayment shall be credited against any amount owing by Borrower to Lender).

 
(g)
All payments under this Note shall be made in immediately available U.S. funds.

 
(h)
Any regularly scheduled monthly installment of interest only or principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3 that is received by Lender before the date it is due shall be deemed to have been received on the due date for the purpose of calculating interest due.

 
(i)
Any accrued interest remaining past due for 30 days or more, at Lender’s discretion, may be added to and become part of the unpaid principal balance of this Note and any reference to “accrued interest” shall refer to accrued interest which has not become part of the unpaid principal balance.  Any amount added to principal pursuant to the Loan Documents shall bear interest at the applicable rate or rates specified in this Note and shall be payable with such interest upon demand by Lender and absent such demand, as provided in this Note for the payment of principal and interest.
 
Multifamily Multistate Note – Adjustable Rate – Portfolio Execution

(j)
In accordance with Section 14, interest charged under this Note cannot exceed the Maximum Interest Rate.   If the Adjustable Interest Rate at any time exceeds the Maximum Interest Rate, resulting in the charging of interest hereunder to be limited to the Maximum Interest Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Adjustable Interest Rate shall not reduce the rate at which interest under this Note accrues below the Maximum Interest Rate until the total amount of interest accrued hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have accrued had the Adjustable Interest Rate at all times been in effect.

4.
Application of Partial Payments.  If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, Lender may apply the amount received to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender’s discretion.  Borrower agrees that neither Lender’s acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender’s application of such payment shall constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.

5.
Security.  The Indebtedness is secured by, among other things, the Security Instrument, and reference is made to the Security Instrument for other rights of Lender as to collateral for the Indebtedness.

6.
Acceleration.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, any prepayment premium payable under Section 10, and all other amounts payable under this Note and any other Loan Document, shall at once become due and payable, at the option of Lender, without any prior notice to Borrower (except if notice is required by applicable law, then after such notice).  Lender may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance.  For purposes of exercising such option, Lender shall calculate the prepayment premium as if prepayment occurred on the date of acceleration.  If prepayment occurs thereafter, Lender shall recalculate the prepayment premium as of the actual prepayment date.

7.
Late Charge.

 
(a)
If any monthly installment of interest or principal and interest or other amount payable under this Note or under the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document is not received in full by Lender within 5 days after the installment or other amount is due, counting from and including the date such installment or other amount is due (unless applicable law requires a longer period of time before a late charge may be imposed, in which event such longer period shall be substituted), Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately and without demand by Lender, a late charge equal to 5% of such installment or other amount due (unless applicable law requires a lesser amount be charged, in which event such lesser amount shall be substituted).  If the Loan is not fully amortizing, the late charge will not be due on the final payment of principal owed on the Maturity Date if such payment is not timely made.
 
Multifamily Multistate Note – Adjustable Rate – Portfolio Execution
Page 7
 
 

 
 
 
(b)
Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional expenses.  Borrower agrees that the late charge payable pursuant to this Section represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment.  The late charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 8.

8. 
Default Rate.

 
(a)
So long as (i) any monthly installment under this Note remains past due for 30 days or more or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then notwithstanding anything in Section 3 of this Note to the contrary, interest under this Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the Installment Due Date of the first such unpaid monthly installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable, at the Default Rate.

 
(b)
From and after the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance shall continue to bear interest at the Default Rate until and including the date on which the entire principal balance is paid in full.

 
(c)
Borrower acknowledges that (i) its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, (ii) during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for 30 days or more, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender’s ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities; and (iii)  it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional costs and expenses.  Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for 30 days or more or any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender’s risk of nonpayment of this Note will be materially increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated for such increased risk.  Borrower agrees that the increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of the Borrower’s delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan.

Page 12
 
 

 

 
(b)
Borrower may not voluntarily prepay any portion of the principal balance of this Note during the Lockout Period, if a Lockout Period is applicable to this Note.  However, if any portion of the principal balance of this Note is prepaid during the Lockout Period by reason of the application by Lender of any proceeds of collateral or other security to any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note or following a determination that the prohibition on voluntary prepayments during the Lockout Period is in contravention of applicable law, then Borrower must also pay to Lender upon demand by Lender, a prepayment premium equal to 5% of the amount of principal being prepaid.

Notwithstanding Section (c) above, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date if Borrower provides Lender with the Notice set forth in Section (c) and meets the other requirements set forth in this Section.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender has agreed that Borrower may prepay principal on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date only because Lender shall deem any prepayment received by Lender on any day other than an Installment Due Date to have been received on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment and Borrower shall be responsible for all interest that would have been due if the prepayment had actually been made on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment.

1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after the 48th Installment Due Date under this Note.

 
 (g)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, no prepayment premium shall be payable with respect to (i) any prepayment made during the Window Period, or (ii) any prepayment occurring as a result of the application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award under the Security Instrument, or (iii) any prepayment of the entire principal balance of this Note that occurs on or after the sixtieth (60th) Installment Due Date under this Note with the proceeds of a fixed interest rate or fixed-to-float interest rate mortgage loan that is the subject of a binding commitment for purchase between the Freddie Mac and a Freddie Mac-approved Program Plusâ Seller/Servicer.

 
(h)
Unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing, a permitted or required prepayment of less than the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly installments or change the amount of such installments.

 
(i)
Borrower recognizes that any prepayment of any of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, whether voluntary or involuntary or resulting from an Event of Default by Borrower, will result in Lender’s incurring loss, including reinvestment loss, additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender’s ability to meet its commitments to third parties.  Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon demand damages for the detriment caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages.  Borrower therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating prepayment premiums set forth in this Note represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment.  Borrower further acknowledges that any lockout and prepayment premium provisions of this Note are a material part of the consideration for the Loan, and that the terms of this Note are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of the Borrower’s voluntary agreement to the lockout and prepayment premium provisions.

11.
Costs and Expenses.  To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Borrower shall pay all expenses and costs, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs incurred by Lender as a result of any default under this Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note, or to enforce the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, including those incurred in post-judgment collection efforts and in any bankruptcy proceeding (including any action for relief from the automatic stay of any bankruptcy proceeding) or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding.

12.
Forbearance.  Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Note, the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of that or any other right or remedy.  The acceptance by Lender of any payment after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any failure to make prompt payment.  Enforcement by Lender of any security for Borrower’s obligations under this Note shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available to Lender.

13.
Waivers.  Borrower and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors waive presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, grace, and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness.

14.
Loan Charges.  Neither this Note nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the Maximum Interest Rate.  If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower in connection with the Loan is interpreted so that any interest or other charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges provided for in any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation.  The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of this Note. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of this Note.  Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of this Note.

15.
Commercial Purpose.  Borrower represents that Borrower is incurring the Indebtedness solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family, household, or agricultural purposes.

16.
Counting of Days.  Except where otherwise specifically provided, any reference in this Note to a period of “days” means calendar days, not Business Days.

17.
Governing Law.  This Note shall be governed by the law of the Property Jurisdiction.

18.
Captions.  The captions of the Sections of this Note are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Note.

19.
Notices; Written Modifications.

 
(a)
All Notices, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Note shall be given in accordance with Section 31 of the Security Instrument.

 
(b)
Any modification or amendment to this Note shall be ineffective unless in writing signed by the party sought to be charged with such modification or amendment; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer under the terms of the Security Instrument that requires Lender’s consent, any or some or all of the Modifications to Multifamily Note set forth in Exhibit A to this Note may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option, by Notice to Borrower and the transferee, as a condition of Lender’s consent.

20.
Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue.  Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Note may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction.  The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction over all controversies that shall arise under or in relation to this Note.  Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise.  However, nothing in this Note is intended to limit any right that Lender may have to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters arising under this Note in any court of any other jurisdiction.

21.
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.  BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (A) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS LENDER AND BORROWER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.  THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.
