FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned
AMREP SOUTHWEST, INC., a New Mexico corporation ("Borrower"),
promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION ("Bank") at its office at 200 Lomas Blvd. N.W.,
Albuquerque, New Mexico, or at such other place as the holder
hereof may designate, in lawful money of the United States of
America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of
Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), or so much thereof
as may be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon, to be
computed on each advance from the date of its disbursement as set
forth herein.
DEFINITIONS:
As used herein, the following terms
shall have the meanings set forth after each, and any other term
defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth at the place
defined:
(a) "Business
Day" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on
which commercial banks in New Mexico are authorized or required by
law to close.
(b) "Fixed
Rate Term" means a period commencing on a Business Day and
continuing for one, two or three months, as designated by Borrower,
during which all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance
of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR;
provided however, that no Fixed Rate Term may be selected for a
principal amount less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($250,000.00), plus multiples of $50,000.00; and provided
further, that no Fixed Rate Term shall extend beyond the scheduled
maturity date hereof. If any Fixed Rate Term would end on a day
which is not a Business Day, then such Fixed Rate Term shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day.
(c) "LIBOR"
means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the
nearest whole 1/16 of 1%) and determined pursuant to the following
formula:
|
LIBOR =
|
Base LIBOR
|
|
|
|
100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage
|
|
(i) "Base
LIBOR" means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits
quoted by Bank as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the
understanding that such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of
calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference
thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate Term for delivery of
funds on said date for a period of time approximately equal to the
number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount
approximately equal to the principal amount to which such Fixed
Rate Term applies. Borrower understands and agrees that Bank may
base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such
offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as Bank
in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited to,
the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank
Market.
(ii) "LIBOR
Reserve Percentage" means the reserve percentage prescribed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor)
for "Eurocurrency Liabilities" (as defined in Regulation D of the
Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for expected
changes in such reserve percentage during the applicable Fixed Rate
Term.
(d) "Prime
Rate" means at any time the rate of interest most recently
announced within Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate,
with the understanding that the Prime Rate is one of Bank's base
rates and serves as the basis upon which effective rates of
interest are calculated for those loans making reference thereto,
and is evidenced by the recording thereof after its announcement in
such internal publication or publications as Bank may
designate.
INTEREST:
(a)
Interest . The outstanding principal balance of this Note
shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year,
actual days elapsed) either (i) at a fluctuating rate per annum of
three-fourths percent (0.75%) below the Prime Rate in effect from
time to time, or (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank
to be two percent (2%) above LIBOR in effect on the first day of
the applicable Fixed Rate Term. When interest is determined in
relation to the Prime Rate, each change in the rate of interest
hereunder shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate change
is announced within Bank. With respect to each LIBOR selection
hereunder, Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal
amount, interest rate and Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto and
any payments made thereon on Bank's books and records (either
manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to
this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the
accuracy of the information noted.
(b)
Selection of Interest Rate Options . At any time any portion
of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, it may
be continued by Borrower at the end of the Fixed Rate Term
applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest
determined in relation to the Prime Rate or to LIBOR for a new
Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any portion of
this Note bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate,
Borrower may convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears
interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term
designated by Borrower. At such time as Borrower requests an
advance hereunder or wishes to select a LIBOR option for all or a
portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at the end
of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice
specifying: (i) the interest rate option selected by Borrower;
(ii) the principal amount subject thereto; and (iii) for each
LIBOR selection, the length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. Any
such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic
method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR
selection, (A) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank
written confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Business Days
after such notice is given, and (B) such notice is given to Bank
prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at
a later time during any Business Day if
