(a)

(a) 

	
The Trustor will not permit the Property to be used for any unlawful or improper purpose, will at all times comply with all Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, and the provisions of any Lease, easement or other agreement affecting all or any part of the Property, and will obtain and maintain all governmental or other approvals relating to the Trustor, the Property or the use thereof, including without limitation, any applicable zoning or building codes or regulations and any laws or regulations relating to the handling, storage, release or cleanup of Hazardous Substances, and will give prompt written notice to the Beneficiary of (i) any violation of any such law, ordinance or regulation by the Trustor or relating to the Property, (ii) receipt of notice from any Federal, state or local authority alleging any such violation and (iii) the presence or release on the Property of any Hazardous Substances;

The Trustor covenants to pay when due: all Federal, state, municipal, real property and other taxes, betterment and improvement assessments and other governmental levies, water rates, sewer charges, insurance premiums and other charges on the Property, this Deed of Trust or any Obligation secured hereby that could, if unpaid, result in a lien on the Property or on any interest therein. If and when requested by the Beneficiary, the Trustor shall deposit from time to time with the Beneficiary sums determined by the Beneficiary to be sufficient to pay when due the amounts referred to in this Section.  The Trustor shall have the right to contest any notice, lien, encumbrance, claim, tax, charge, betterment assessment or premium filed or asserted against or relating to the Property; provided that it contests the same diligently and in good faith and by proper proceedings and, at the Beneficiary's request, provides the Beneficiary with adequate cash security, in the Beneficiary's reasonable judgment, against the enforcement thereof. The Trustor shall furnish to the Beneficiary the receipted real estate tax bills or other evidence of payment of real estate taxes for the Property within 30 days prior to the date from which interest or penalty would accrue for nonpayment thereof.

If Trustor shall fail to pay such sums, the Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, advance such sums.  Any sums so advanced by the Beneficiary shall be added to the Obligations, shall bear interest at the highest rate specified in any note evidencing the Obligations, and shall be secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust.

 

2.6           Notices; Notice of Default. The Trustor will deliver to the Beneficiary, promptly upon receipt of the same, copies of all notices or other documents it receives that affect the Property or its use, or claim that the Trustor is in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms hereof or that the Trustor or any tenant is in default of any terms of the Leases.

The Beneficiary may, at its option, appear in any proceeding for a Taking or any negotiations relating to a Taking and the Trustor shall immediately give to the Beneficiary copies of all notices, pleadings, determinations and other papers relating thereto. The Trustor shall in good faith and with due diligence and by proper proceedings file and prosecute its claims for any award or payment on account of any Taking. The Trustor shall not settle any such claim without the Beneficiary's prior written consent. The Trustor shall hold any amounts received with respect to such awards or claims, by settlement, judicial decree or otherwise, in trust for the Beneficiary and immediately pay the same to the Beneficiary.  The Trustor authorizes any award or settlement due in connection with a Taking to be paid directly to the Beneficiary in amounts not exceeding the Obligations.  The Beneficiary may apply such amounts to the Obligations in such order as the Beneficiary may determine.

 

2.8           Insurance Proceeds. The proceeds of any insurance resulting from any loss with respect to the Property shall be paid to the Beneficiary and, at the option of the Beneficiary, be applied to the Obligations in such order as the Beneficiary may determine; provided, however, that if the Beneficiary shall require repair of the Property, the Beneficiary may release all or any portion of such proceeds to the Trustor for such purpose.  Any insurance proceeds paid to the Trustor shall be held in trust for the Beneficiary and promptly paid to it.

 

3.    CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE BENEFICIARY

 

3.1           Legal Proceedings. The Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the duty, to intervene or otherwise participate in any legal or equitable proceeding that, in the Beneficiary's reasonable judgment, might affect the Property or any of the rights created or secured by this Deed of Trust.

Each such appointment and substitution shall be made by a writing executed by Beneficiary and when duly recorded in the appropriate office shall be conclusive proof of proper appointment of such successor Trustee. The procedure herein provided for substitution of the Trustee shall be conclusive of all other provisions for substitution, statutory or otherwise.

 

4.    DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

4.1           Events of Default. Event of Default shall mean default of any liability, obligation, covenant or undertaking of the Trustor or the occurrence of an event of default under this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents including without limitation under any note evidencing any of the Obligations and, with respect to any Obligation due and payable on DEMAND, the failure of any such Obligation to be paid upon DEMAND.

 

4.2           Remedies. On the occurrence of any Event of Default the Beneficiary may, at any time thereafter, at its option and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without notice, exercise any or all of the following remedies:

 

	
(a) 

	
Declare the Obligations due and payable, and the Obligations shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, without presentment, protest, demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Trustor except for Obligations due and payable on demand, which shall be due and payable on demand whether or not an event of default has occurred hereunder;

 

  

6

  

 

	
(b)

	
Direct the Trustee to, or enter, take possession of, manage and operate the Property (including all personal property and all records and documents pertaining thereto) and any part thereof and exclude the Trustor therefrom, take all actions it deems necessary or proper to preserve the Property and operate the Property as a mortgagee in possession with all the powers as could be exercised by a receiver or as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law; provided, however, the entry by the Beneficiary upon the Property for any reason shall not cause the Trustee or the Beneficiary to be a mortgagee in possession, except upon the express written declaration of the Beneficiary;

 

	
(c)

	
With or without taking possession, by itself or through a receiver, receive and collect all rents, income, issues and profits ("Rents") from the Property (including all real estate and personal property and whether past due or thereafter accruing), including as may arise under the Leases, and the Trustor appoints the Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney with the power for the Beneficiary in its own name and capacity to demand and collect Rents and take any action that the Trustor is authorized to take under the Leases.  The Beneficiary shall (after payment of all costs and expenses incurred) apply any Rents received by it to the Obligations in such order as the Beneficiary determines, or in accordance with any applicable statute, and the Trustor agrees that exercise of such rights and disposition of such funds shall not be deemed to cure any default or constitute a waiver of any foreclosure once commenced nor preclude the later commencement of foreclosure for breach thereof. The Beneficiary shall be liable to account only for such Rents actually received by the Beneficiary. Lessees under the Leases are hereby authorized and directed, following notice from the Beneficiary, to pay all amounts due the Trustor under the Leases to the Beneficiary, whereupon such lessees shall be relieved of any and all duty and obligation to the Trustor with respect to such payments so made

 

	
(d)

	
In addition to any other remedies, to sell the Property or any part thereof or interest therein pursuant to exercise of its power of sale or otherwise at public auction on terms and conditions as the Beneficiary may determine, or otherwise foreclose this Deed of Trust in any manner permitted by law, and upon such sale the Trustor shall execute and deliver such instruments as the Beneficiary may request in order to convey and transfer all of the Trustor's interest in the Property, and the same shall operate to divest all rights, title and interest of the Trustor in and to the Property.  In the event this Deed of Trust shall include more than one parcel of property or subdivision (each hereinafter called a "portion"), the Beneficiary shall, in its sole and exclusive discretion and to the extent permitted by applicable law, be empowered to foreclose upon any such portion without impairing its right to foreclose subsequently upon any other portion or the entirety of the Property from time to time thereafter.  In addition, the Beneficiary may in its sole and exclusive discretion subordinate this Deed of Trust to one or more Leases for the sole purpose of preserving any such Lease in the event of a foreclosure;

 

	
(e) 

	
Choose to dispose of some or all of the Property in any combination consisting of both real and personal property, together in one sale, public or private, to held in accordance with law and procedures applicable to real property, as permitted by Section 9604 of the Uniform Commercial Code.  Trustor agrees that such a sale of personal property together with real property constitutes a commercially reasonable sale of the personal property. Before any sale, Beneficiary or Trustee shall give such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law.  When all time periods then legally mandated have expired, and after such notice of sate as may then be legally required has been given, Trustee may sell the property being sold at a public auction to be held at the time and place specified in the notice of sale. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall have any obligation to make demand on Trustor before any sale, From time to time in accordance with then applicable law, Trustee may, and in any event at Beneficiary's request shall, postpone any sale by public announcement at the time and place noticed for that sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the property offered for sale.  At any sale, any person including Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the property or any part thereof to the extent permitted by then applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such property, Beneficiary may settle for the purchase price by crediting the sales price of the property against the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Trustor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary or Trustee under this Deed of Trust and all other Obligations in any order and proportion as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may choose.  The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially reasonable and, Beneficiary and Trustee may choose, for example, if the Property consists of more than one parcel, to sell and dispose of such parcels in separate or combined sales in such order as Beneficiary may elect. The proceeds of any such disposition of Property shall not cure any Event of Default or reinstate any Obligations for purposes of Section 2924c of the California Civil Code. For purposes of this power of sale, either a sale of real property alone, or a sale of both real and personal property together in accordance with Uniform Commercial Code Section 9604, will sometimes be referred to as a "Trustee's Sale";

(f) 

	
In accordance with Section 736 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Beneficiary may bring an action for breach of contract against Trustor for breach of any "environmental provision" (as such term is defined in such Section) made by Trustor herein or in any other Loan Document for the recovery of damages and/or the enforcement of the environmental  provision.  In accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 726.5, Beneficiary may waive the security under this Deed of Trust with respect to any parcel of the Property that is "environmentally impaired" or is an "affected property" (as such terms are defined in such Section), and as to any personal property which is attached to such parcel, and thereafter exercise against Trustor, to the extent permitted by such Section, the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of Beneficiary's claim against Trustor to judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted by law.  In the event Beneficiary elects, in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 726.5, to waive all or part of the security under this Deed of Trust and proceed against Trustor on an unsecured basis, the valuation of the real property, the determination of the environmentally impaired status of such security and any cause of action for money judgment shall, at the request of Beneficiary, be referred to a referee in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 638 et seq.  Such referee shall be an M.A.I. appraiser selected by Beneficiary and approved by Trustor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The decision of such referee shall be binding upon both Beneficiary and Trustor and judgment upon the award rendered by such referee shall be entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 644 and 645.  Trustor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any proceeding under the California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 726.5;

 

	
(g) 

	
Cause one or more environmental assessments to be taken, arrange for the cleanup of any Hazardous Substances or otherwise cure the Truste's failure to comply with any statute, regulation or ordinance relating to the presence or cleanup of Hazardous Substances, and the Trustor shall provide the Beneficiary or its agents with access to the Property for such purposes; provided that the exercise of any of such remedies shall not be deemed to have relieved the Trustor from any responsibility therefor or given the Beneficiary "control" over the Property or cause the Beneficiary to be considered to be a mortgagee in possession, "owner" or "operator" of the Property for purposes of any applicable law, rule or regulation pertaining to Hazardous Substances; and

 

	
(h) 

	
Take such other actions or proceedings as the Beneficiary deems necessary or advisable to protect its interest in the Property and ensure payment and performance of the Obligations, including, without limitation, appointment of a receiver (and the Trustor hereby waives any right to object to such appointment) and exercise of any of the Beneficiary's remedies provided herein or in any other document evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Obligations or available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or under other applicable law.

A "sale or transfer" means the conveyance of the Property or any right, title or interest therein; whether legal, beneficial or equitable; whether voluntary or involuntary; whether by outright sale, deed, installment sale contract, land contract, contract for deed, option contract, or by sale, assignment or transfer of any beneficial interest in or to any land trust holding title to the Property, or by any other method of conveyance of a real property interest. If Trustor is a corporation, transfer also includes any change in ownership of more than 10% of the issued and outstanding capital stock.  For a general partnership, limited partnership, or limited liability partnership, transfer shall include a change in any general partner or a change affecting the control of the Trustor. For a limited liability company, transfer includes any change in a manager or member or change affecting control of the Trustor. This option shall not be exercised by Beneficiary if such exercise is prohibited by applicable law.

 

Power of Sale.  Trustor hereby grants to the Trustee, and its successor and assigns, for the benefit and security of the Beneficiary, a power of sale under California Civil Code Section 2924, and accordingly, the Beneficiary and the Trustee shall have all of the rights and powers granted by California law to the holder of a Deed of Trust containing a power of sale, including the right, to the extent permitted by California law, to foreclose, by exercising the power of sale, without first commencing a foreclosure action or obtaining a foreclosure decree, and to give such notices and to do all other acts as are permitted or required by California Civil Code Section 2924 to foreclose a Deed of Trust without judicial action.

 

In addition, the Trustee and the Beneficiary shall have all other remedies provided by applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to pursue a judicial sale of the Property or any portion thereof by deed, assignment or otherwise.

 

The Trustor agrees and acknowledges that the acceptance by the Trustee or the Beneficiary of any payments from either the Trustor or any guarantor after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the exercise by the Trustee or the Beneficiary of any remedy set forth herein or the commencement, discontinuance or abandonment of foreclosure proceedings against the Property shall not waive Trustee's or the Beneficiary's subsequent or concurrent right to foreclose or operate as a bar or estoppel to the exercise of any other rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Beneficiary. The Trustor agrees and acknowledges that the Trustee or the Beneficiary, by making payments or incurring costs described herein, shall be subrogated to any right of the Trustor to seek reimbursement from any third parties, including, without limitation, any predecessor in interest to the Trustor's title or other party who may be responsible under any law, regulation or ordinance relating to the presence or cleanup of Hazardous Substances.

 

4.3           Advances. If the Trustor fails to pay or perform any of its obligations respecting the Property, the Beneficiary may in its sole discretion do so without waiving or releasing Trustor from any such obligation. Any such payments may include, but are not limited to, payments for taxes, assessments and other governmental levies, water rates,  insurance  premiums,  maintenance,  repairs  or  improvements constituting part of the Property.  Any amounts paid by the Beneficiary hereunder shall be, until reimbursed by the Trustor, part of the Obligations and secured by this Deed of Trust, and shall be due and payable to the Beneficiary, on demand, together with interest thereon to the extent permitted by applicable law, at the highest rate permitted under any of the notes evidencing the Obligations.

 

4.4           Cumulative Rights and Remedies.  All of the foregoing rights, remedies and options (including without limitation the right to enter and take possession of the Property, the right to manage and operate the same, and the right to collect Rents, in each case whether by a receiver or otherwise) are cumulative and in addition to any rights the Beneficiary might otherwise have, whether at law or by agreement,. and may be exercised separately or concurrently and none of which shall be exclusive of any other.  The Trustor further agrees that the Trustee and the Beneficiary may exercise any or all of its rights or remedies set forth herein without having to pay the Trustor any sums for use or occupancy of the Property.

 

4.5           Trustor's Waiver of Certain Rights. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustor hereby waives the benefit of all present and future laws (i) providing for any appraisal before sale of all or any portion of the Property or (ii) in any way extending the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Obligations or creating or extending a period of redemption from any sale made hereunder.

 

4.6           Transfer of Title.  Upon the completion of any sale or sales of any Property, Trustee shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient deed of conveyance or assignment and transfer, lawfully conveying, assigning, and transferring the Property sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied.

 

  

9

  

 

4.7           Effect of Sale. Any sale or sales made by virtue of or under this Deed of Trust, whether under any power of sale herein granted or through judicial proceedings, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to divest all right, title, estate, interest, claim, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of Trustor in and to the property so sold, or any part thereof from, through or under Trustor, its successors and assigns.  The receipt by Trustee of such purchase money shall be full and sufficient discharge to any purchaser of the Property or any part thereof sold as aforesaid for the purchase money; and no purchaser or his representatives, grantees or assigns after paying such purchase money, shall be bound to see to the application of such purchase money upon or for any trust or purpose of this Deed of Trust, or in any manner whatsoever be answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application of any such purchase money or be bound to inquire as to the authorization, necessity, expedience or regularity of any such sale.

 

4.8           Reconveyance. Upon written request of the Beneficiary and surrender of this Deed of Trust and any Notes to Trustee for cancellation or endorsement, and upon payment of its fees and charges, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, all or any part of the Property then subject to this Deed of Trust. Any reconveyance, whether full or partial, shall be made to the person or persons legally entitled thereto, and the recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.

 

5.    MISCELLANEOUS

 

5.1           Costs and Expenses. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustor shall pay to the Trustee and the Beneficiary, on demand, all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses and reasonable consulting, accounting, appraisal, brokerage and similar professional fees and charges) incurred by the Trustee and the Beneficiary in connection with the Trustee's and the Beneficiary's interpretation, recordation of this Deed of Trust, exercise, preservation or enforcement of any of its rights, remedies and options set forth in this Deed of Trust and in connection with any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise relating to the Obligations, together with interest thereon to the extent permitted by applicable law, until paid in full by the Trustor at the highest rate set forth in any of the notes evidencing the Obligations. Any amounts owed by the Trustor hereunder shall be, until paid, part of the Obligations and secured by this Deed of Trust, and the Beneficiary shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to receive and retain such amounts in any action for a deficiency against or redemption by the Trustor, or any accounting for the proceeds of a foreclosure sale or of insurance proceeds.

 

5.2           Limit on Interest. If from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Deed of Trust, any Note or any other Loan Document, at the time performance of such provision becomes due, would exceed the limit on interest then permitted by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, the Beneficiary may, at its option (a) reduce the Obligations to be fulfilled to such limit on interest, or (b) apply the amount in excess of such limit on interest to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations, and not to the payment of interest, with the same force and effect as though Trustor had specifically designated such sums to be so applied to principal and Beneficiary had agreed to accept such extra payments(s) as a premium-free prepayment, so that in no event shall any exaction he possible under this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document that is in excess of the applicable limit on interest. It is the intention of Trustor and Beneficiary that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the limits imposed by any applicable state or federal interest rate laws. The provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Deed of Trust, and any provision of any other Loan Document in conflict with this Section.

 

5.3           Indemnification Regarding Leases. The Trustor hereby agrees to defend, and does hereby indemnify and hold the Beneficiary, Trustee, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys (each an "Indemnitee") harmless from all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) resulting from the assignment of the Leases and from all demands that may be asserted against such Indemnitees arising from any undertakings on the part of the Beneficiary to perform any obligations under the Leases. It is understood that the assignment of the Leases shall not operate to place responsibility for the control or management of the Property upon the Beneficiary or any Indemnitee or make them liable for performance of any of the obligations of the Trustor under Leases, respecting any condition of the Property or any other agreement or arrangement, written or oral, or applicable law.

 

  

10

  

 

5.4           Indemnification Regarding Hazardous Substances. The Trustor hereby agrees to defend, and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless each lndemnitee from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses, including, without limitation, litigation costs and attorneys' fees and expenses and fees or expenses of any environmental engineering or cleanup firm incurred by such Indemnitee and arising out of or in connection with the Property or resulting from the application of any current or future law, regulation or ordinance relating to the presence or cleanup of Hazardous Substances on or affecting the Property.   The Trustor agrees its obligations hereunder shall be continuous and shall survive termination or discharge of this Deed of Trust and/or the repayment of all debts to the Beneficiary including repayment of all Obligations.

 

5.5            Indemnitee's Expenses. If any lndemnitee is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened or brought against such Indemnitee concerning this Deed of Trust or the Property or any part thereof or therein or concerning the construction, maintenance, operation or the occupancy or use thereof by the Trustor or other person or entity, then the Trustor shall indemnify, defend and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against all liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any such litigation or claim, whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment. The within indemnification shall survive payment of the Obligations, and/or any termination, release or discharge executed by the Beneficiary in favor of the Trustor.

 

5.6            Waivers. The Trustor waives notice of nonpayment, demand, presentment, protest or notice of protest of the Obligations and all other notices, consents to any renewals or extensions of time of payment thereof, and generally waives any and all suretyship defenses and defenses in the nature thereof.  No delay or omission of the Beneficiary in exercising or enforcing any of its rights, powers, privileges, remedies, immunities or discretion (all of which are hereinafter collectively referred to as "the Beneficiary's rights and remedies") hereunder shall constitute a waiver thereof; and no waiver by the Beneficiary of any default of the Trustor hereunder or of any demand shall operate as a waiver of any other default hereunder or of any other demand.  No term or provision hereof shall be waived, altered or modified except with the prior written consent of the Beneficiary, which consent makes explicit reference to this Deed of Trust. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no other agreement or transaction, of whatsoever nature, entered into between the Beneficiary and the Trustor at any time (whether before, during or after the effective date or term of this Deed of Trust) shall be construed as a waiver, modification or limitation of any of the Beneficiary's rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust (nor shall anything in this Deed of Trust be construed as a waiver, modification or limitation of any of the Beneficiary's rights and remedies under any such other agreement or transaction) but all the Beneficiary's rights and remedies not only under the provisions of this Deed of Trust but also under any such other agreement or transaction shall be cumulative and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by the Beneficiary at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine.

 

5.7           Waiver of Homestead. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Trustor hereby waives and terminates any homestead rights and/or exemptions respecting the Property under the provisions of any applicable homestead laws, including without limitation, California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 704-710 et seq.

 

5.8           Joint and Several.  If there is more than one Trustor, each of them shall be jointly and severally liable for payment and/or performance of all obligations secured by this Deed of Trust and the term "Trustor" shall include each as well as all of them.

 

5.9           Severability. If any provision of this Deed of Trust or portion of such provision or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Deed of Trust (or the remainder of such provision) and the application thereof to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

 

5.10         Complete Agreement. This Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding between and among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior proposals, negotiations, agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to such subject matter.

This Deed of Trust shall run with the land and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and shall remain in full force and effect (and the Beneficiary shall be entitled to rely thereon) until all Obligations are fully and indefeasibly paid. The Beneficiary may transfer and assign this Deed of Trust and deliver any collateral to the assignee, who shall thereupon have all of the rights of the Beneficiary; and the Beneficiary shall then be relieved and discharged of any responsibility or liability with respect to this Deed of Trust and such collateral.

5.15         Jurisdiction and Venue. The Trustor irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Federal or state court sitting in California, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Deed of Trust.  The Trustor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that the same has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  The Trustor hereby consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding (i) by the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Trustor's address set forth herein or such other address as has been provided in writing to the Beneficiary and (ii) in any other manner permitted by law, and agrees that such service shall in every respect be deemed effective service upon the Trustor.

 

5.16          Waiver Of Jury Trial. THE TRUSTOR AND BENEFICIARY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, AND THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR TRANSACTION BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

 

5.17          Judicial Reference Provision. In the event the above Jury Trial Waiver is unenforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision.

Venue for the reference will be the Superior Court in the County where real property involved in the action, if any, is located, or in a County where venue is otherwise appropriate under law (the "Court"). The following matters shall not be subject to reference: (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including without limitation set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver, and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including without limitation writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of the above does not waive the right to a reference hereunder.

 

  

12

  

 

The referee shall be selected by agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree, upon request of any party a referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court. The referee shall determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and statutory law of the State of California, including without limitation the rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law. The referee is empowered to enter equitable and legal relief, and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication.

The final judgment or order from any decision or order entered by the referee shall be fully appealable as provided by law. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of law, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial if granted, will be a reference hereunder.

Exhibit 10.6

 

LINE OF CREDIT NOTE

 

July 16, 2012

 

$9,000,000.00

 

For value received, the undersigned H.D.D. LLC, a California limited liability company (the "Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of Bank of the West (together with its successors and assigns, the "Lender"), the principal amount of up to Nine Million Dollars and Zero Cents ($9,000,000.00) on or before May 31, 2014 (the "Expiration Date"), as set forth below.  The aggregate principal balance outstanding shall bear interest, and interest shall be payable, in accordance with that certain Interest Rate Election Rider, attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Interest Election Rider").

 

On terms and conditions as set forth herein, the Borrower may request advances (each an "Advance") from time to time from the date hereof to the Expiration Date up to the dollar amount of this Note (the "Line of Credit'). Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, partially or wholly prepay, and reborrow as described herein. Proceeds of the Line of Credit shall be used for working capital needs.

 

Each Advance shall be conclusively deemed to have been made at the request of and for the benefit of the Borrower (i) when credited to any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Lender or (ii) when paid in accordance with the Borrower's written instructions. Subject to the requirements herein, and provided such request is made in a timely manner as provided below, Advances shall be made by the Lender under the Line of Credit.

 

This Note is entered into in connection with one or more certain Loan and Security Agreements or Loan Agreements, dated of even date herewith (each a "Loan Agreement" and collectively, the "Loan Agreements") between the Borrower and the Lender, and any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreements.

 

Notwithstanding anything set forth herein or in the Loan Agreement to the contrary, no Advance shall be made under this Note until the Borrower has provided to the Lender evidence satisfactory to the Lender demonstrating that the Borrower has contributed no less than $2,500,000.00 in equity to the Borrower.

 

Principal and interest shall be payable at the Lender's main office or at such other place as the Lender may designate in writing in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year. If interest is not paid as and when it is due, it shall be added to the principal, become and be treated as a part thereof, and shall thereafter bear like interest.

 

"Business Day" shall mean a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which commercial banks are open for business in California.

 

At the option of the Lender, this Note shall become immediately due and payable upon default of any liability, obligation, covenant or undertaking of the Borrower hereunder or the occurrence at any time of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.

 

Any payments received by the Lender on account of this Note shall, at the Lender's option, be applied first, to accrued and unpaid interest; second, to the unpaid principal balance, then any fees, or charges then owed to the Lender by the Borrower; with payments being applied to installments remaining due in such order and amounts as the Lender may determine in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments received after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied in such manner as the Lender may determine. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to charge any deposit account which the Borrower may maintain with the Lender for any payment required hereunder without prior notice to the Borrower.

 

  

  

  

 

If pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Borrower is at any time obligated to pay interest on the principal balance at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law for the loan evidenced by this Note, the applicable interest rate shall be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. More specifically, if from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other loan document executed and delivered in connection with this Note, at the time performance of such provision becomes due, would exceed the limit on interest then permitted by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, the Lender may, at its option (a) reduce the obligations to be fulfilled to such limit on interest, or (b) apply the amount in excess of such limit on interest to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the obligations, and not to the payment of interest, with the same force and effect as though Borrower had specifically designated such sums to be so applied to principal and Lender had agreed to accept such extra payments(s) as a premium-free prepayment, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Note or any other loan document that is in excess of the applicable limit on interest. It is the intention of Borrower and Lender that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the limits imposed by any applicable state or federal interest rate laws. The provisions of this paragraph shall control every other provision of this Note, and any provision of any other loan document in conflict with this paragraph.

 

The Borrower represents to the Lender that the proceeds of this Note will not be used for personal, family or household purposes or for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock or margin securities within the meaning of Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.P.R. Parts 221 and 224.

 

The Borrower grants to the Lender a continuing lien on and security interest in any and all deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the Lender to the Borrower and any cash, securities, instruments or other property of the Borrower in the possession of the Lender, whether for safekeeping or otherwise, or in transit to or from the Lender (regardless of the reason the Lender had received the same or whether the Lender has conditionally released the same) as security for the full and punctual payment and performance of all of the liabilities and obligations of the Borrower to the Lender and such deposits and other sums may be applied or set off against such liabilities and obligations of the Borrower to the Lender at any time, whether or not such are then due, whether or not demand has been made and whether or not other collateral is then available to the Lender.

 

No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of the Lender, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or any other right on any future occasion. The Borrower and any other party obligated on account of this Note by contract, by operation of law or otherwise (the Borrower and each Borrower, if more than one, and each such other party, an "Obligor"), regardless of the time, order or place of signing, waive presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of protest and all other notices and demands of every kind in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance or enforcement of this Note, all suretyship defenses of any kind, in each case that would otherwise be available in connection with this Note including, without limitation, any right (whether now or hereafter existing) to require the holder hereof to first proceed against the Borrower, or any other party obligated on account of this Note, for any security, and assent to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral, and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable and waives all recourse to suretyship and guarantor defenses generally, including any defense based on impairment of collateral. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Borrower waives and terminates any homestead rights and/or exemptions respecting any premises under the provisions of any applicable homestead laws, including without limitation, California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 704-710 et seq.

 

  

  

  

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Obligor waives:

 

(A) any rights and defenses that are or may become available to such Obligor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code;

 

(B) all rights and defenses that such Obligor may have because any of the indebtedness hereunder is secured by real property; this means, among other things: (i) the Lender may collect from an Obligor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower or another Obligor; and (ii) if the Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Borrower or another Obligor: (1) the amount of such indebtedness may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Lender may collect from an Obligor even if the Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Obligor may have to collect from the Borrower or another Obligor. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Obligor may have because any of the indebtedness under this Note is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 725 of the California Code of Civil Procedure;

 

(C) any right or defense it may have at law or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, to a fair market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure.

 

The Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold the Lender and its directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys (each an "Indemnitee") harmless against any claim brought or threatened against any Indemnitee by the Borrower or by any other person (as well as from attorneys' reasonable fees and expenses in connection therewith) on account of the Lender's relationship with the Borrower (each of which may be defended, compromised, settled or pursued by the Lender with counsel of the Lender's selection, but at the expense of the Borrower), except for any claim arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender.

 

The Borrower agrees to pay, upon demand, costs of collection of all amounts under this Note including, without limitation, principal and interest, or in connection with the enforcement of, or realization on, any security for this Note, including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by applicable law, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. If any payment due under this Note is unpaid for 15 days or more, the Borrower shall pay, in addition to any other sums due under this Note (and without limiting the Lender's other remedies on account thereof), a late charge equal to 5.0% of such unpaid amount.

 

This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and upon its heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors, endorsees and assigns.

 

In the event that at any time, a surety is liable upon only a portion of the Borrower's or any Obligor's obligations under this Note and the Borrower provides partial satisfaction of any such obligation(s), each of the Borrower and each Obligor hereof, if any, hereby waives any right it would otherwise have, under Section 2822 of the California Civil Code, to designate the portion of the obligations to be satisfied. The designation of the portion of the obligation to be satisfied shall, to the extent not expressly made by the terms of this Note, be made by the Lender rather than Borrower.

 

The liabilities of the Borrower and each Borrower, if more than one, and any Obligor are joint and several; provided, however, the release by the Lender of the Borrower or any one or more Obligors shall not release any other person obligated on account of this Note. Any and all present and future debts of the Borrower to any Obligor are subordinated to the full payment and performance of all present and future debts and obligations of the Borrower to the Lender. Each reference in this Note to the Borrower and each Borrower, if more than one, and Obligor, is to such person individually and also to all such persons jointly. No person obligated on account of this Note may seek contribution from any other person also obligated, unless and until all liabilities, obligations and indebtedness to the Lender of the person from whom contribution is sought have been irrevocably satisfied in full. The release or compromise by the Lender of any collateral shall not release any person obligated on account of this Note.

 

  

  

  

 

The Borrower authorizes the Lender to complete this Note if delivered incomplete in any respect. A photographic or other reproduction of this Note may be made by the Lender, and any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence with the same effect as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence.

 

This Note shall be governed by federal law applicable to the Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

 

Any notices under or pursuant to this Note shall be deemed duly received and effective if delivered in hand to any officer of agent of the Borrower or Lender, or if mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the Borrower or Lender at the address set forth in the Loan Agreement or as any party may from time to time designate by written notice to the other party.

 

The Borrower irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Federal or state court sitting in California, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note.  The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that the same has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Borrower hereby consents to any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding, (i) by mailing a copy thereof by registered and certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Borrower's, address shown below or as notified to the Lender and (ii) by serving the same upon the Borrower(s) in any other manner otherwise permitted by law, and agrees that such service shall in every respect be deemed effective service upon the Borrower.

 

Waiver Of Jury Trial. THE BORROWER AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, AND THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION RELATED TO THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR TRANSACTION BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

 

Judicial Reference Provision. In the event the above Jury Trial Waiver is unenforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision. With the exception of the items specified below, any controversy, dispute or claim between the parties relating to this Note or any other document, instrument or transaction between the parties (each, a "Claim"), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California pursuant to Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to reference. Venue for the reference will be the Superior Court in the County where real property involved in the action, if any, is located, or in a County where venue is otherwise appropriate under law (the "Court"). The following matters shall not be subject to reference: (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including without limitation set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver, and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including without limitation writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of the above does not waive the right to a reference hereunder.

 

  

  

  

 

The referee shall be selected by agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree, upon request of any party a referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court. The referee shall determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and statutory law of the State of California, including without limitation the rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law. The referee is empowered to enter equitable and legal relief, and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision, and pursuant to CCP §644 the referee's decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or order in the same manner as if tried by the Court. The final judgment or order from any decision or order entered by the referee shall be fully appealable as provided by law. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of law, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial if granted, will be a reference hereunder. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT A JURY.

INTEREST RATE ELECTION RIDER

 

1. INTEREST RATE(S); PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS.

 

1.1           Interest Rates. The Note shall bear Interest at the following rate(s): (a) One and Three-Quarters Percent (1.75%) above the One-Month LIBOR Rate (as hereinafter defined) (a "One-Month LIBOR Rate Advance"); or (b) One and Three-Quarters Percent (1.75%) above the LIBOR Rate (as hereinafter defined) (a "LIBOR Rate Advance"); each an "Available Rate."

 

1.2           Notice of Borrowing and Rate Selection.  Upon written or telephonic notice which shall be received by the Lender at or before 11:00 a.m. Pacific time on a Business Day, the Borrower may draw this loan by requesting an Advance. The draw may be made on the day notice is received by the Lender, provided however, that if the Lender shall not have received notice at or before 11:00 a.m. Pacific time on the day such request is made, such draw may, at the Lender's option, be made on the next Business Day.  Notice of any LIBOR Rate Advance shall be received by the Lender no later than two Business Days prior to the day (which shall be a Business Day) on which the Borrower requests such LIBOR Rate Advance to be made. The notice shall specify the effective date thereof (which shall be a Business Day), the type of interest rate and the amount to which the interest rate shall apply, provided, however, for LIBOR Rate Advances, the amount requested shall not be less than $100,000.00. Any such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be subject to other terms and conditions set forth in this Note. For any interest rate selected, the Lender shall record on the books and records of the Lender an appropriate notation evidencing such selection, each repayment on account of the principal thereof and the amount of interest paid, and the Borrower authorizes the Lender to maintain such records and make such notations and agrees that the amount shown on the books and records as outstanding from time to time shall constitute the amount owing to the Lender pursuant to this Note, absent manifest error.

 

1.3           Payments. The Borrower hereby promises and agrees to pay interest in arrears on all Advances on the last calendar day of each month. If any payment required to be made by the Borrower hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at then applicable rate during such extension. On the Expiration Date, the Borrower hereby promises and agrees to pay to the Lender in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and all other fees and charges owing to the Lender under this Note.

 

1.4           Interest Periods. Each Interest Period selected by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Interest Rate Election Rider shall commence on the date selected and shall end on the last day of the time period the Borrower shall elect, in each case as set forth in the definition of Interest Period in Paragraph 2.1 hereof; provided, however, that (a) any Interest Period that would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next Business Day unless such extension would carry such Interest Period into the next month, in which event such Interest Period shall end on the preceding Business Day; (b) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a date for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month during which such Interest Period is to end), shall (subject to clause (a) above) end on the last Business Day of such calendar month; and (c) any Interest Period that would otherwise extend beyond the Expiration Date shall end on the Expiration Date.

 

1.5           Conversion of Outstanding Amounts.  Upon written or telephonic notice which shall be received by the Lender at or before 11:00 a.m. Pacific time on a Business Day, and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to an Advance, convert the rate on such Advance to another Available Rate. The conversion may be effective on the day notice is received by the Lender, provided however, that if the Lender shall not have received notice at or before 11:00 a.m. Pacific time on the day such request is made, such election may, at the Lender's option, become effective on the next Business Day, except that notice to select any LIBOR Rate shall be received by the Lender no later than two Business Days prior to the day (which shall be a Business Day) on which the Borrower requests such LIBOR Rate. The notice shall specify the date of such conversion and the amount to be converted.

  

  

  

 

1.6           End of Interest Period. If, at the end of the relevant Interest Period, and subject to all of the terms and conditions applicable to a request that a new interest rate be selected, the Lender does not receive timely notice to continue the existing rate or request another Available Rate, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a One-Month LIBOR Rate Advance.

 

1.7           Unavailability of Rate. In the event that the effective interest rate(s) applicable to the Borrower's loan evidenced hereby shall cease to be published or has become unlawful or infeasible by reason of the Lender's compliance with any new law, rule, regulation, guideline or order, or any new interpretation of any present law, rule regulation, guideline or order, the Lender, in its sole discretion shall designate a new base, reference or other rate for general commercial loan reference purposes, it being understood that such rate is a reference rate, not necessarily the lowest, established from time to time, which serves as the basis upon which effective interest rates are calculated for loans making reference thereto.

 

1.8           Funding the Note.  The Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of the Note in any manner it may determine in its sole discretion, but all calculations and transactions hereunder shall be conducted as set forth herein without regard to the manner in which the Lender actually funded the Note.

 

1. 9          Indemnification for Costs. During any period of time in which interest on the Note is accruing on the basis of an Available Rate other than one that adjusts on a daily basis, the Borrower shall, upon the Lender's request, promptly pay to and reimburse the Lender for all costs incurred and payments made by the Lender by reason of any future assessment, reserve, deposit or similar requirement or any surcharge, tax or fee imposed upon the Lender or as a result of the Lender's compliance with any directive or requirement of any regulatory authority pertaining or relating to funds used by the Lender in quoting and determining such Available Rate.

 

1.10         Termination of Pricing Option. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower's right to select pricing options, if applicable, shall cease, and, if the Borrower would, but for the application of the preceding clause, have had the right to elect among interest rate options, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, interest shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 5.0% plus the current effective rate for a One-Month LIBOR Rate Advance.

 

1.11         Prepayment. Borrower may prepay amounts outstanding under this Note bearing interest at an Available Rate in whole or in part provided Borrower has given Lender not less than 5 Business Days prior written notice of Borrower's intention to make such prepayment and pays to Lender the Prepayment Fee (defined below) due as a result. The Prepayment Fee shall also be paid, if Lender, for any other reason, including acceleration or foreclosure, receives all of any portion of the LIBOR Rate Advance prior to its scheduled payment date.  "Prepayment Fee" is the positive amount, if any, equal to the present value of (i) the amount of interest that would have been paid through the end of the current Interest Period on the principal amount being repaid at the LIBOR Rate and minus (ii) the amount of interest Lender would earn if the amount of such prepayment of principal was used to purchase a(n) LIBOR Rate contract having a maturity date most closely matching with the last day of the relevant Interest Period and such contract was held by Lender until the last day of the relevant Interest Period. The rate used in the present value calculation shall be the rate of interest offered on the LIBOR Rate contract having a maturity most closely matching with the last day of the relevant Interest Period. The time period used in the present value calculation shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period between the date of prepayment and the last date of the relevant Interest Period, and the denominator of which shall be 360 days.

 

If the maturity of this Note is accelerated by the Lender because of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the resulting acceleration shall be deemed to be an election on the part of the Borrower to prepay this Note. Accordingly, there shall be added to the amount due after an Event of Default and resulting acceleration, the fixed rate prepayment charge, calculated as above and using as the prepayment date the date on which any tender of payment is made, and the Borrower agrees to pay the same.

  

  

  

 

The Borrower, by its signature below, hereby expressly (i) waives any rights it may have under California Civil Code Section 2954.10 to prepay this Note, in whole or in part, without penalty, upon acceleration of the maturity date, and (ii) agrees that if, for any reason, a prepayment of all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note is made upon or following any acceleration of the maturity date by the Lender on account of any Event of Default by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall be obligated to pay concurrently with such prepayment the fixed rate prepayment charge specified in the foregoing paragraphs. By signing this provision in the space provided below, the Borrower hereby declares that the Lender's agreement to make the loan evidenced by this Note constitutes adequate consideration, given individual weight by the Borrower, for this waiver and agreement.
