LLC , a Delaware limited liability company (“
Maker ”), with a mailing address of c/o Stratus
Properties Inc., 98 San Jacinto, Suite 220, Austin, Texas 78701,
promises to pay to the order of COR US BANK, N.A. , a
national banking association (“ Lender
”), at the address set forth in Section 4.1(e)
of the Loan Agreement (as defined in Section 7
below), or such other place as Lender may designate in writing, in
the manner provided hereinafter the principal sum of up to One
Hundred Sixty-Five Million Dollars ($165,000,000), or so much
thereof as may now or hereafter be disbursed by Lender to or for
the benefit of Maker (the “ Loan ”), on or
before the Maturity Date (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or the
date to which the indebtedness evidenced hereby is accelerated
pursuant to the terms of this Note and the terms of the other Loan
Documents, with interest, in the manner and upon the terms and
conditions set forth below. All capitalized terms not
expressly defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth
in the Loan Agreement.
1.
Interest Rate
. Interest shall accrue from the date
of first disbursement of the Loan on the principal balance thereof
remaining from time to time outstanding at the rate (“
Interest Rate ”) established
below. Unless the Loan is then bearing interest at the
Default Rate, the Interest Rate shall be equal to the greater of:
(1) the sum of: (i) three and one half percent (3.5%) per annum
plus (ii) the three month London Interbank Offered Rate quoted in
the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal (the
“ LIBOR Rate ”); or (2) six percent and one-half
percent (6.5%) per annum. The LIBOR Rate shall be
automatically adjusted without notice to Maker on the first (1st)
day of each January, April, July, and October following the
calendar month in which the Loan Opening Date occurs (the “
Quarterly Adjustment Date ”) based on the LIBOR Rate
as of the Quarterly Adjustment Date (or, if the Quarterly
Adjustment Date falls on a non-Business Day, then the Interest Rate
shall be adjusted based on the LIBOR Rate on the first Business Day
following the Quarterly Adjustment Date, effective retroactively to
the Quarterly Adjustment Date). Interest shall be
computed based on a 360-day year and charged for the actual number
of days elapsed.
2.
Principal and Interest
Payments . Commencing on the first day of the first month
after the initial disbursement of the Loan, and continuing on the
first day of each month thereafter until the Loan has been repaid
in full, interest on the Loan shall be payable monthly in arrears
on the first day of each month (“ Payment Date
”) in the amount of all interest accrued and
unpaid. The final payment of the entire unpaid principal
balance of the Loan plus all accrued and unpaid interest, Exit
Fees, charges, fees, and expenses, if not sooner paid, shall be due
and payable on the Maturity Date.
3.
Prepayment
.
During the twelve (12) months
immediately following the execution of this Note (“
Lockout Period ”), Maker shall not be permitted to
prepay the Loan in part or in full from any source. At
Lender’s option, any attempted unpermitted
prepayment
during the
Lockout Period shall be placed in a non-interest bearing account
and held until such time as prepayment is allowed. After
the Lockout Period, Maker may prepay the Loan in part or in full
(in accordance with the provisions hereof) upon not less than seven
(7) days prior written notice to Lender, except that no such notice
shall be required in the case of the sale of individual Residential
Units. In the event that Maker repays any portion of the
Loan after the 12-month anniversary of this Note but before the
30-month anniversary of this Note from a source other than proceeds
realized from the sale of individual Residential Units or of a
component of the Project (i.e., the Venue, the Hotel or the
Commercial Space), in each case, in accordance with and as
permitted by the Loan Documents, then Maker shall pay Lender a
prepayment charge (the “ Prepayment Charge ”)
equal to (x) in the event of a partial prepayment, two percent
(2.0%) of the amount prepaid, or (y) in the event of prepayment in
full, the sum of (i) two percent (2.0%) of the amount prepaid and
(ii) two percent (2.0%) of any Unfunded Commitment. The
Prepayment Charge shall be in addition to any Exit Fee still
outstanding. There shall be no Prepayment Charge on
casualty or condemnation proceeds which Lender requires be applied
to the Loan.
4.
Applicability of
Charges . Upon acceleration of the Loan at any
time after the date of this Note and prior to the 30-month
anniversary of the date of this Note, in addition to the Exit Fee
that may be due as provided in the Loan Agreement and to the extent
permitted by law, Maker hereby agrees that there shall be added to
the indebtedness evidenced hereby and secured by that certain
Construction Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement
and Fixture Filing of even date herewith (the “ Deed of
Trust ”) a charge equal to the Prepayment Charge
(calculated as if the outstanding Loan were being prepaid in full
as of the date of such acceleration, regardless of
whether such acceleration would be deemed a
“prepayment” under applicable Law). Maker
hereby acknowledges that the aforesaid charge payable to the Lender
hereunder is a reasonable pre-estimate of the Lender’s losses
and is not a penalty.
5.
Application of
Payments . Subject to the application of
payments required by Section 14.10 of the Loan Agreement and
other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, Lender shall
have the right unilaterally (and without the consent of Maker) to
allocate any and all payments that may be received by or tendered
to Lender made by Maker or any other person at any time or from
time to time and that relate in any way to the Loan or any other of
the obligations then due and payable under the Loan Documents in
any order of priority as Lender in its sole and exclusive
discretion shall elect, including without limitation to: (i) to the
payment of any costs and expenses of Lender that Maker is
responsible for under the Loan Documents; (ii) to accrued but
unpaid interest, Exit Fees, penalties, late payment fees; and (iii)
to principal. Maker (1) irrevocably waives the right to
direct the application of payments and collections received by
Lender from or on behalf of Maker and/or any other person, and (2)
agrees that Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to
apply and reapply any and all such payments and collections against
the Loan or any other obligations then due and payable under the
Loan Documents in such manner as Lender may deem appropriate
(subject to any express provisions of the Loan Documents to the
contrary), notwithstanding any entry by Lender upon any of its
books and records.
6.
Late Charges
. If any installment of interest,
principal or other amount due under the Loan Documents is not paid
on or before the fifteenth (15th) day after the date such payment
is due, Maker shall pay Lender a late charge in an amount equal to
ten percent (10%) of the amount due on any payment (including, but
not limited to, any payment of principal, interest,
unfunded loan
fee, if applicable, or any other payment due other than the payment
of the total principal amount due upon maturity of the Loan
[whether at stated maturity or by acceleration]) to defray part of
the increased cost of collecting the late payments and the
opportunity cost incurred by Lender because of the unavailability
of the funds.

Security for
Payment . The payment of this Note is further
evidenced by the Construction Loan Agreement of ev
