other amounts payable under this Note, the Master Agreement and any other Loan Document shall at once become due and payable, at the option of Lender, without any prior notice to Borrower, unless applicable law requires otherwise (and in such case, after satisfactory notice has been given).
5.Personal Liability.
The provisions of Article 3 (Personal Liability) of the Master Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.
6.Governing Law.
This Note shall be governed in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 15.01 (Choice of Law; Consent to Jurisdiction) of the Master Agreement.
7.Waivers.
Except as expressly provided in the Master Agreement, presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment and dishonor, protest and notice of protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, and grace and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness are waived by Borrower, for and on behalf of itself, Guarantor and Key Principal, and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors or others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness.

11.Time is of the Essence.
Borrower agrees that, with respect to each and every obligation and covenant contained in this Note, time is of the essence.
12.Loan Charges Savings Clause.
Borrower agrees to pay an effective rate of interest equal to the sum of the Interest Rate and any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges of interest or in the nature of interest paid or to be paid in connection with the Advance and any other fees or amounts to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents.  Neither this Note, the Master Agreement nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged under applicable law.  It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with all applicable laws governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the other Loan Documents.  If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any interest or other charge or amount provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges or amounts provided for in any other Loan Document, or otherwise charged, taken, reserved or received in connection with the Advance, or on acceleration of the maturity of the Advance or as a result of any prepayment by Borrower or otherwise, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate any such violation.  Amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the Advance without the payment of any prepayment premium (or, if the Advance has been or would thereby be paid in full, shall be refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Master Agreement and any other Loan Documents immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible under the Master Agreement and any other Loan Documents reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with any applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise payable under the Loan Documents.  For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, and any amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of the Advance.  Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of the Advance.
13.WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER (A) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS LENDER AND BORROWER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE

14.Receipt of Loan Documents.
Borrower acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of the Loan Documents.
15.Incorporation of Schedules.
The schedules, if any, attached to this Note are incorporated fully into this Note by this reference and each constitutes a substantive part of this Note.
16.Security for this Note.
The Indebtedness evidenced by this Note is secured by other Security Documents executed by Borrower or Borrower Affiliate.  Reference is made hereby to the Master Agreement and the Security Documents for additional rights and remedies of Lender relating to the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note.  Each Security Document shall be released in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement and the Security Documents.
17.No Reborrowing.
Any portion of the Advance borrowed under this Note may not be reborrowed provided any repayment shall not affect Borrower’s ability to obtain a Future Advance pursuant to the terms of Section 2.02(c) (Making Advances) of the Master Agreement.
18.Cross-Default with Master Agreement.
The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Master Agreement shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note, and, accordingly, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Master Agreement, the entire principal amount outstanding hereunder and accrued interest thereon shall at once become due and payable, at the option of the holder hereof.
19.Advance Terms.
The provisions of Schedule 3.1 and Schedule 4.1 of the Master Agreement are hereby incorporated in their entirety as if such provisions were set forth herein.

2.Defined Terms.
Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Master Agreement.

5.Guaranty of Payment; Community Property.
Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty constitute a present and unconditional guaranty of payment and not merely a guaranty of collection.  If Guarantor (or any Guarantor, if more than one) is a married person, and the state of residence of Guarantor or Guarantor’s spouse is a community property jurisdiction, Guarantor (or each such married Guarantor, if more than one) agrees that Lender may satisfy Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty to the extent of all Guarantor’s separate property and Guarantor’s interest in any community property.
6.Obligations Unsecured; Cross-Default.
The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be secured by the Security Instrument or the Master Agreement.  However, a default under this Guaranty shall be an Event of Default under the Master Agreement, and a default under this Guaranty shall entitle Lender to be able to exercise all of its rights and remedies under the Master Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

12.Condition of Borrower. 
Guarantor has reviewed the Master Agreement, the Note and this Guaranty.  Guarantor is fully aware of the financial condition of Borrower and is executing and delivering this Guaranty based solely upon Guarantor’s own independent investigation of all matters pertinent hereto and is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement made by Lender. Guarantor represents and warrants that Guarantor is in a position to obtain, and Guarantor hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining, any additional information concerning Borrower’s financial condition and any other matters pertinent hereto as Guarantor may desire and Guarantor is not relying upon or expecting Lender to furnish to Guarantor any information now or hereafter in Lender’s possession concerning the same or any other matter. By executing this Guaranty, Guarantor knowingly accepts the full range of risks encompassed within a contract of this type, which risks Guarantor acknowledges.
13.Joint and Several Liability.
If more than one Person executes this Guaranty as Guarantor, such Persons shall be liable for the obligations hereunder on a joint and several basis.  Lender, in its discretion, may:
(a)    to the extent permitted by applicable law, bring suit against Guarantor, or any one or more of the Persons constituting Guarantor, and any other guarantor, jointly and severally, or against any one or more of them;
(b)    compromise or settle with any one or more of the Persons constituting Guarantor, or any other guarantor, for such consideration as Lender may deem proper;
(c)    discharge or release one or more of the Persons constituting Guarantor, or any other guarantor, from liability or agree not to sue such Person; and
(d)    otherwise deal with Guarantor and any guarantor, or any one or more of them, in any manner, and no such action shall impair the rights of Lender to collect from Guarantor any amount guaranteed by Guarantor under this Guaranty.
Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall in any way affect or impair the rights or obligations of Guarantor with respect to any other guarantor.
14.Subordination of Affiliated Debt.
Any indebtedness of Borrower held by Guarantor now or in the future is and shall be subordinated to the Indebtedness and any such indebtedness of Borrower shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor, as trustee for Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.
15.Subrogation.
Guarantor shall have no right of, and hereby waives any claim for, subrogation or reimbursement against Borrower or any general partner of Borrower by reason of any payment by

Guarantor under this Guaranty, whether such right or claim arises at law or in equity or under any contract or statute, until the Indebtedness has been paid in full and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower to Lender with respect to the Indebtedness could be deemed a preference under the Insolvency Laws.
16.Voidable Transfer.
If any payment by Borrower is held to constitute a preference under any Insolvency Laws or similar laws, or if for any other reason Lender is required to refund any sums to Borrower, such refund shall not constitute a release of any liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty.  It is the intention of Lender and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.  If any payment by any Guarantor should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Insolvency Laws relating to a Voidable Transfer, and if Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the advice of its counsel, then the obligations guaranteed hereunder shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored by the amount of such Voidable Transfer or the amount of such Voidable Transfer that Lender is required or elects to repay or restore, including all reasonable costs, expenses and legal fees incurred by Lender in connection therewith, and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made, and any other guarantor, if any, shall remain liable for such obligations in full.
17.Credit Report/Credit Score.
Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Lender is authorized, no more frequently than once in any twelve (12) month period, to obtain a credit report (if applicable) on Guarantor, the cost of which shall be paid for by Guarantor.  Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Lender is authorized to obtain a Credit Score (if applicable) for Guarantor at any time at Lender’s expense.
18.Financial Reporting.
In the event Guarantor receives or obtains any audited financial statements and such financial statements are required to be delivered to Lender under Section 8.02(b) of the Master Agreement, Guarantor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender the audited versions of such financial statements.
Guarantor shall deliver to Lender such Guarantor financial statements as required by Section 8.02 of the Master Agreement.  Lender may require that Guarantor’s books and records be audited, at Guarantor’s expense, by an independent certified public accountant selected by Lender in order to produce or audit any statements, schedules, and reports of Guarantor or the Mortgaged Property required by Section 8.02 of the Master Agreement, if
(1)    Guarantor fails to provide in a timely manner the statements, schedules, and reports required by Section 8.02 of the Master Agreement and, thereafter, Guarantor fails to provide such statements, schedules and reports within the cure period provided in Section 14.01(c) of the Master Agreement; or

(3)    an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ability of Lender to require the delivery of audited financial statements shall be limited to not more than once per Guarantor’s fiscal year so long as no Event of Default has occurred during such fiscal year (or any event which, with the giving of written notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing).  Guarantor shall cooperate with Lender in order to satisfy the provisions of this Section 18.  All related costs and expenses of Lender shall become immediately due and payable by Guarantor within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

Guarantor acknowledges that Lender (including its successors and assigns) may sell or transfer the Advances, or any interest in the Advances.
(a)    Guarantor shall, subject to Section 19(b) below:
(1)    comply with the reasonable requirements of Lender or any Investor of the Advances or provide, or cause to be provided, to Lender or any Investor of the Advances within ten (10) days of the request, at Borrower’s and Guarantor’s cost and expense, such further documentation or information as Lender or Investor may reasonably require, in order to enable:
(A)    Lender to sell the Advances to such Investor;
(B)    Lender to obtain a refund of any commitment fee from any such Investor; or
(C)    any such Investor to further sell or securitize the Advances;
(2)    confirm that Guarantor is not in default under this Guaranty or in observing any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Guaranty (or, if Guarantor is in default, describing such default in reasonable detail); and

(2)    imposing on Borrower or Guarantor greater personal liability under the Loan Documents than as set forth in the Loan Documents; or
(3)    materially changing the rights and obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents.
20.Successors and Assigns.
Lender may assign its rights under this Guaranty in whole or in part and, upon any such assignment, all the terms and provisions of this Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of such assignee to the extent so assigned.  Guarantor may not assign its rights, duties or obligations under this Guaranty, in whole or in part, without Lender’s prior written consent and any such assignment shall be deemed void ab initio.  The terms used to designate any of the parties herein shall be deemed to include the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such parties.
