Note, the following terms shall have the following meanings:       “Business
Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or other
day on which commercial banks in California are authorized or required by law to
close. All references in this Note to a “day” or a “date” shall be to a calendar
day unless specifically referenced as a Business Day.       “Default” shall have
the meaning set forth in the Deed of Trust.       “Disbursement Date” shall mean
the date upon which the Loan proceeds are funded into escrow in connection with
the closing of the Loan.       “Effective Date” shall mean the date the Deed of
Trust is recorded in the Office of the County Recorder of the county where the
Property is located and Lender authorizes the Loan proceeds to be released to
Borrower.       “Loan Documents” shall mean the documents listed in Exhibit B
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.       “Maturity Date”
shall mean February 1, 2011.   4.   INTEREST; PAYMENTS.

  4.1   Definitions. The following terms shall have the meanings indicated:    
    “Actual/360 Basis” shall mean on the basis of a 360-day year and charged on
the basis of actual days elapsed for any whole or partial month in which
interest is being calculated.         “30/360 Basis” shall mean on the basis of
a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each. “Interest Rate” shall
mean a fixed annual rate of 7 . 4 5 5 %.     4.2   Interest Accrual. Interest on
the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall accrue from the
Disbursement Date at an annual rate equal to the Interest Rate calculated on an
Actual/360 Basis.     4.3   Payments. Monthly payments hereunder shall commence
on the first day of the calendar month following the Disbursement Date and
continue on the first day of each calendar month thereafter through the Maturity
Date. If the Disbursement Date is a date other than the fast day of a calendar
month, the fast monthly payment shall be interest only. Subsequent monthly
payments shall be calculated on the basis of an equal-payment 30 year
amortization of principal and interest. Notwithstanding that interest on this
Note accrues on an Actual./360 Basis,

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the total amount of each such amortized monthly payment of principal and
interest shall be determined using a 30/360 Basis. On the Maturity Date, all
unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and owing in full.
All interest shall be paid in arrears.

  4.4   Acknowledgments. Borrower acknowledges that interest calculated on an
ActuaU360 Basis exceeds interest calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, therefore:
(a) a greater portion of each monthly installment of principal and interest will
be applied to interest using the Actual/360 Basis than would be the case if
interest accrued on a 30/360 Basis; and (b) the unpaid principal balance of this
Note on the Maturity Date will be greater using the Actuall360 Basis than would
be the case if interest accrued on a 30/360 Basis.     4.5   Application of
Payments. In the absence of a specific determination by Lender to the contrary,
all payments paid by Borrower to Lender in connection with the obligations of
Borrower under this Note and under the other Loan Documents shall 3e applied in
the following order of priority: (a) to amounts, other than principal and
interest, due to Lender pursuant to this Note or the other Loan Documents;
(b) to accrued but unpaid interest on this Note; and (c) to the unpaid principal
balance of this Note. Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the
application of any and all payments at any time hereafter received by Lender
from or on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower irrevocably agrees that Lender shall
have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against
the then due and owing obligations of Borrower in such order of priority as
Lender may deem advisable.

5.   LATE CHARGE; DEFAULT RATE.

  5.1   Late Charge. If all or any portion of any payment or deposit required
hereunder (other than the payment due on the Maturity Date) is not paid or
deposited on or before the fourth day following the day on which such payment or
deposit is due, Borrower shall pay a late or collection charge, as liquidated
damages, equal to 5% of the amount of such unpaid payment or deposit. If all or
any portion of the payment due on the Maturity Date is paid more than 4 days
after the Maturity Date and on a date other than the first day of a month,
Borrower shall pay a late or collection charge, as liquidated damages, equal to
the interest which would have accrued on such amount during the period
commencing on the date payment of such amount is actually made and ending on the
last day of the month in which payment of such amount is actually made. Borrower
acknowledges that Lender will incur additional expenses as a result of any late
payments or deposits hereunder, which expenses would be impracticable to
quantify, and that Borrower’s payments under this Section 5.1 are a reasonable
estimate of such expenses.     5.2   Default Rate. Commencing upon a Default and
continuing until such Default shall have been cured by Borrower, all sums owing
on this Note shall bear interest until paid in full at an annual rate equal to
5% plus the h terest Rate, but not higher than the maximum rate of interest
permitted by applicable law (“Default Rate”).

6.   MAXIMUM RATE PERMITTED BY LAW. Neither this Note nor any of the other Loan
Documents shall require the payment or permit the collection of any interest or
any late payment charge in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law. If any
such excess interest or late payment charge is provided for under this Note or
any of the other Loan Documents or if this Note or any of the other Loan
Documents shall be adjudicated to provide for such excess, neither Borrower nor
Borrower’s successors or assigns shall be obligated to pay such excess, and the
right to demand the payment of any such excess shall be and hereby is waived,
and this provision shall control any other provision of this Note or any of the
other Loan Documents. If Lender shall collect amounts which are deemed to
constitute interest and which would increase the effective interest rate to a
rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law, all such amounts deemed to
constitute interest in excess of the maximum. legal rate shall, upon such
determination, at the option of Lender, be returned to Borrower or credited
against the outstanding principal balance of this Note.

7.   ACCELERATION. If (a) Borrower shall fail to pay when due any sums payable
under this Note; (b) any other Default shall occur; or (c) any other event or
condition shall occur which, under the terms of the Deed of Trust or any other
Loan Document, gives rise to a right of acceleration of sums owing under this
Note, then Lender, at its sole option, shall have the right to declare all sums
owing under this Note immediately duc and payable; provided, however, that if
the Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document provides for the automatic
acceleration of payment of sums owing under this Note, all sums owing under this
Note shall be automatically due and payable in accordance with the terms of the
Deed of Trust or such other Loan Document.

this Note or the other Loan Documents, however, shall limit in any way the
personal liability of Borrower owed to Lender for any losses or damages incurred

for the Loan) with respect to any of the following matters: (a) fraud or willful
misrepresentation;; (b) material physical waste of the Property or the
Collateral; (c) failure to pay property or other taxes, assessments or charges
from available property cash flow (other than amounts paid to Lender for taxes,

or charges owed) which may create liens senior to the lien of the Deed of Trust
on all or any portion of the Property; (d) failure to deliver any insurance or
condemnation proceeds or awards or any security deposits received by Borrower to
Lender or to otherwise apply such sums as required under the terms of the Loan
Documents or any other instrument now or hereafter securing this Note;

profits and other benefits from the Property which are collected or received by
Borrower during the period of any Default or after acceleration of the
indebtedness and other sums owing under the Loan Documents to the payment of
either (i) such indebtedness or other sums or (ii) the normal and necessary
operating expenses of the Property; or (f) any breach by Borrower of any
covenant in this Note or in the Deed of Trust regarding Hazardous Materials (as
defined in the Deed of Tnrst) or any representation or warranty of Borrower
regarding Hazardous Materials proving to have been untrue when made.     8.3  
No Release or Impairment. Nothing contained in Section 8.1 shall be deemed to
release, affect or impair the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or the
obligations of Borrower under, or the liens and security interests created by

and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the right to pursue
any remedy for injunctive or other equitable relief, or any suit or action in
connection with the preservation, erforcement or foreclosure of the liens,
mortgages, assignments and security interests which are now or at a.any time
hereafter security for the payment and performance of all obligations under this
Note or the other Loan Documents.     8.4   Prevail and Control. The provisions
of this Section 8 shall prevail and control over any contrary provisions
elsewhere in this Note or the other Loan Documents.

9.   NON-TRUSTOR BORROWER. If any Borrower is not also a "Tmstor” under the Deed
of Trust, such Borrower hereby makes all representations and warranties in favor
of Lender contained in Article 5 of the Deed of Trust, all covenants contained
in Section 6.15 of the Deed of Trust, and all indemnities of Lender contained in
Section 6.19 of the Deed of Trust, jointly and severally with the “Trustor.”

10.   MISCELLANEOUS.

  10.1   Joint and Several Liability. If this Note is executed by more than one
person or entity as Borrower, the obligations of each such person or entity
shall be joint and several. No person or entity shall be a mere accommodation
maker, but each shall be primarily and directly liable hereunder.     10.2  
Waiver of Presentment. Except as otherwise provided in any other Loan Document,
Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, notice of
default or delinquency, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration,
notice of nonpayment, notice of costs, expenses or losses and interest thereon,
and notice of interest on interest and late charges.     10.3   Delay In
Enforcement. No previous waiver or failure or delay by Lender in acting with
respect to the terms of this Note or the Deed of Trust shall constitute a waiver
of any breach, default or failure of condition under this Note, the Deed of
Trust or the obligations secured thereby. A waiver of any term of this Note, the
Deed of Trust or of any of the obligations secured thereby must be made in
writing signed by Lender, shall be limited to the express terms of such waiver,
and shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent obligation of Borrower. The
acceptance at any time by Lender of any past-due amount shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of the right to require prompt payment when due of any other amounts
then or thereafter due and payable.

12.   ADDITIONAL TERMS ANI) CONDITIONS. The additional terms and conditions set
forth in Exhibit A attached hereto are incorporated herein by this reference.

13.   PREPAYMENT. Borrower acknowledges that any prepayment of this Note will
cause Lender to lose its interest rate yield on this Note and will possibly
require that Lender reinvest any such prepayment amount in loans of a lesser
interest rate yield (including, without limitation, in debt obligations other
than first mortgage loans on commercial properties). As a consequence, Borrower
agrees as follows, as an integral part of the consideration for Lender’s making
the Loan:

  13.1   Voluntary Prepayment. Any voluntary prepayment of this Note: (a) is
prohibited except during the last 3 months of the term, (b) is permitted in full
only, and not in part.     13.2   Prepayment Charge.

  a.   Basic Charge. Except as provided below, if this Note is prepaid prior to
the last 3 months of the term, whether such prepayment is involuntary or upon
acceleration of the principal amount of this Note by Lender following a Default,
Borrower shall pay to Lender on the prepayment date (in addition to all other
sums then due and owing to Lender under the Loan Documents) a prepayment charge
equal to the greater of the following two amounts: (a) an amount equal to 1% of
the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan; or (b) an amount equal to
(i) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the present values as of the
prepayment date of all unpaid principal and interest payments required under
this Note, calculated by discounting such payments from their respective
scheduled payment dates back to the prepayment date at a discount rate equal to
the Periodic Treasury Yield (defined below) exceeds the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan as of the prepayment date, multiplied by (ii) a fraction
whose numerator is the amount of the prepayment and whose denominator is the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the prepayment date. For
purposes of the foregoing, “Periodic Treasury Yield” means (c) the annual yield
to maturity of the actively traded :ion-callable United States Treasury fixed
interest rate security (other than any such security which can be surrendered at
the option of the holder at face value in payment of federal estate tax or which
was issued at a substantial discount) that has a maturity closest to (whether
before, on or after) the Maturity Date (or if two or more such securities have
maturity dates equally close to the Maturity Date, the average annual yield to
maturity of all such securities), as reported in The Wall Street Journal or
other authoritative publication or news retrieval service on the fifth Business
Day preceding the prepayment date, divided by (d) 12, if scheduled payment dates
are monthly, or 4, if scheduled payment dates are quarterly.     b.   Additional
Charge. If this Note is prepaid on any day other than the first day of a month,
whether such prepayment is involuntary or upon full acceleration of the
principal amount of this Note by Lender following a Default, Borrower shall pay
to Lender on the prepayment date (in addition to the basic prepayment charge
described in Section 13.2a. above and all other sums then due and owing to
Lender under this Note and the other Loan Documents) an additional prepayment
charge equal to the interest which would otherwise have accrued on the amount
prepaid (had such prepayment not occurred during

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the period commencing on the prepayment date and ending on the last day of the
month in which the prepayment occurred.

  c.   Exclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment charge of any
kind shall apply in respect to any prepayment resulting from the application of
any insurance or condenmation proceeds received by Lender and applied by Lender
to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

  13.3   Effect of Prepayment. No partial prepayment of this Note shall change
the dates or amounts of subsequent monthly installments of principal and
interest, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing.     13.4   Waiver. Borrower
waives any right to prepay this Note except under the terms and conditions set
forth in this Section and agrees that if this Note is prepaid, Borrower will pay
the prepayment charge set forth above. Borrower hereby acknowledges that:
(a) the inclusion of this waiver of prepayment rights and agreement to pay the
prepayment charge for the right to prepay this Norse was separately negotiated
with Lender; (b) the economic value of the various elements of this waiver and
agreement was discussed; (c) the consideration given by Borrower for the Loan
was adjusted to reflect the specific waiver and agreement negotiated between
Borrower and Lender and contained herein; and (d) this waiver is intended to
comply with California Civil Code Section 2954.10.
