FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, NTS/VIRGINIA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY , a
Virginia corporation (the “Borrower”), with an address
at 10172 Linn Station Road, Louisville, Kentucky 40223, promises to
pay to the order of RESIDENTIAL MANAGEMENT COMPANY , a
Kentucky corporation (the “Lender”), in lawful money of
the United States of America in immediately available funds at its
offices located at 10172 Linn Station Road, Louisville, Kentucky
40223, or at such other location as the Lender may designate from
time to time, the principal sum of EIGHTY EIGHT THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED SIXTY ONE DOLLARS AND SIXTY SEVEN CENTS ($88,161.67) (the
“Loan”), together with interest accruing on the
outstanding principal balance from the date hereof, as provided
below:
1.
Interest Rate . The principal balance of the Loan will bear
interest at a fixed rate per annum (calculated on the basis of the
actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of
360 days) equal to five and thirty-four one-hundredths percent
(5.34%) per annum (the “Fixed Rate”).
In
no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum
rate allowed by law.
2.
Payment Terms . Interest shall be due and payable commencing
on the first day of each month beginning October 1, 2009 until
December 31, 2009 on which date all outstanding principal and
accrued interest shall be due and payable in full (the
“Maturity Date”). Payments received will be applied to
charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees),
accrued interest and principal in any order the Lender may choose,
in its sole discretion.
3.
Late Payments; Default Rate . If a payment is more than 15
days late, the Borrower shall also pay to the Lender a late charge
equal to 5% of the unpaid portion of the payment or $100, whichever
is greater (the “Late Charge”). Such 15 day period
shall not be construed in any way to extend the due date of any
such payment. Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or
otherwise, and at the option of the Lender upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) and during the
continuance thereof, this Note shall bear interest at a rate per
annum (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days that
principal is outstanding over a year of 360 days) which shall be
four percentage points (4%) in excess of the Fixed Rate in effect
from time to time but not more than the maximum rate allowed by law
(the “Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall continue
to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on this Note.
Both the Late Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated
damages for the purpose of defraying the Lender’s expenses
incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but are in
addition to, and not in lieu of, the Lender’s exercise of any
rights and remedies hereunder, under the Loan Documents or under
applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or
attorneys which the Lender may employ. In addition, the Default
Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Lender of carrying a
loan that is in default. The Borrower agrees that the Late Charge
and Default Rate are reasonable forecasts of just compensation
for
anticipated and actual harm
incurred by the Lender, and that the actual harm incurred by the
Lender cannot be estimated with certainty and without
difficulty.
4.
Prepayment . The indebtedness evidenced by this Note may be
prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty or
premium.
5.
Events of Default . The occurrence of any of the following
events will be deemed to be an “Event of Default” under
this Note:
(i)
Borrower fails to make any payment when due hereunder, or fails to
otherwise comply with any term or provision of this Note, and such
failure is not cured within any applicable cure period or fails to
comply;
(ii)
The filing by or against Borrower of any proceeding in bankruptcy,
receivership, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation,
conservatorship or similar proceeding (and, in the case of any such
proceeding instituted against any Obligor, such proceeding is not
dismissed or stayed within 30 days of the commencement
thereof);
(iii)
Any assignment by Borrower for the benefit of creditors, or any
levy, garnishment, attachment or similar proceeding is instituted
against any property of Borrower;
(iv)
A judgment or judgments are entered against Borrower, Borrower
defaults in the payment of any other debts or there is a material
adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower, or the
Lender in good faith believes the prospects for repayment of this
Note have been impaired; and
(v)
Any material statement made to the Lender about Borrower, or about
Borrower’s financial condition, or about any collateral
securing this Note is false or misleading.
