1.5. Prepayment; Defeasance .
(a) This Note may not be prepaid, in whole or in part (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), at any time prior to the Payment Date occurring three (3) Payment Dates immediately prior to the Maturity Date (the " Lockout Expiration Date" ). In the event that Borrower wishes to have the Property (as hereinafter defined) released from the lien of the Security Instrument prior to the Lockout Expiration Date, Borrower' s sole option shall be a Defeasance (as hereinafter defined) upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.5(d) hereof. This Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part without premium or penalty on any Payment Date occurring on or after the Lockout Expiration Date provided (i) written notice of such prepayment is received by Lender not more than ninety (90) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such prepayment, and (ii) such prepayment is accompanied by all interest accrued hereunder through and including the date of such prepayment and all other sums due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. If, upon any such permitted prepayment on any Payment Date occurring on or after the Lockout Expiration Date, the aforesaid prior written notice has not been timely received by Lender, there shall be due a prepayment fee equal to the lesser of (i) thirty (30) days' interest computed at the Note Rate on the outstanding principal balance of this Note so prepaid and (ii) interest computed at the Note Rate on the outstanding principal balance of this Note so prepaid that would have been payable for the period from, and including, the date of prepayment through the Maturity Date, as though such prepayment had not occurred. (b) If, prior to the Lockout Expiration Date, the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall have been declared due and payable by Lender pursuant to Article II hereof or the provisions of any other Loan Document due to a default by Borrower, then, in addition to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note being immediately due and payable, there shall also then be immediately due and payable a prepayment fee in an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium (as hereinafter defined) based on the entire indebtedness on the date of such acceleration. In addition to the amounts described in the preceding sentence, in the event of any such acceleration or tender of payment of such indebtedness occurs or is made on or prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the date of this Note, there shall also then be immediately due and payable an additional prepayment fee of three percent (3%) of the principal balance of this Note. The term " Yield Maintenance Premium" shall mean an amount equal to the greater of (A) two percent (2.0%) of the principal amount being prepaid, and (B) the present value of a series of payments each equal to the Payment Differential (as hereinafter defined) and payable on each Payment Date over the remaining original term of this Note and on the Lockout Expiration Date, discounted at the Reinvestment Yield (as hereinafter defined) for the number of months
2
remaining as of the date of such prepayment to each such Payment Date and the Lockout Expiration Date. The Term " Payment Differential" shall mean an amount equal to (i) the Note Rate less the Reinvestment Yield, divided by (ii) twelve (12) and multiplied by (iii) the principal sum outstanding under this Note after application of the Monthly Payment Amount due under this Note on the date of such prepayment, provided that the Payment Differential shall in no event be less than zero. The term " Reinvestment Yield" shall mean an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a maturity date closest to the Maturity Date, or (ii) the yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a term equal to the remaining average life of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, with each such yield being based on the bid price for such issue as published in the Wall Street Journal on the date that is fourteen (14) days prior to the date of such prepayment (or, if such bid price is not published on that date, the next preceding date on which such bid price is so published) and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. In the event that any prepayment fee is due hereunder, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement setting forth the amount and determination of the prepayment fee, and, provided that Lender shall have in good faith applied the formula described above, Borrower shall not have the right to challenge the calculation or the method of calculation set forth in any such statement in the absence of manifest error, which calculation may be made by Lender on any day during the fifteen (15) day period preceding the date of such prepayment. Lender shall not be obligated or required to have actually reinvested the prepaid principal balance at the Reinvestment Yield or otherwise as a condition to receiving the prepayment fee.
(c) Partial prepayments of this Note shall not be permitted, except for partial prepayments resulting from Lender' s election to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds to reduce the outstanding principal balance of this Note as provided in the Security Instrument, in which event no prepayment fee, penalty or premium shall be due unless, at the time of either Lender' s receipt of such proceeds or the application of such proceeds to the outstanding principal balance of this Note, an Event of Default exists, which Event of Default is unrelated to the applicable casualty or condemnation, in which event the applicable prepayment fee or premium shall be due and payable based upon the amount of the prepayment. No notice of prepayment shall be required under the circumstances specified in the preceding sentence, No principal amount repaid may be reborrowed. Any such partial prepayments of principal shall be applied to the unpaid principal balance evidenced hereby but such application shall not reduce the amount of the fixed monthly installments required to be paid pursuant to Section 1.2 above. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, the prepayment fees provided above shall be due, to the extent permitted by applicable law, under any and all circumstances where all or any portion of this Note is paid prior to the Maturity Date, whether such prepayment is voluntary or involuntary, including, without limitation, if such prepayment results from Lender' s exercise of its rights upon Borrower' s default and acceleration of the Maturity Date of this Note (irrespective of whether foreclosure proceedings have been commenced), and shall be in addition to any other sums due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. No tender of a prepayment of this Note with respect to which a prepayment fee is due shall be effective unless such prepayment is accompanied by the applicable prepayment fee.
(d) (i) On any Payment Date on or after the earlier to occur of (x) three (3) years following the first Payment Date hereunder, and (y) the day immediately following the date which is two (2) years after the " startup day," within the meaning of Section 860G(a) (9) of
