4. INTEREST; PAYMENTS.

4.1 Interest Accrual Interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall accrue from the Disbursement Date at the Note Rate calculated on an Actual/360 Basis.

4.2 Payments. Monthly payments, each in the P&I Payment Amount, shall commence on the First P&I Due Date and continue on each Due Date thereafter. In addition, if the Disbursement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, an interest-only payment shall be due on the First Due Date Borrower acknowledges that the P&I Payment Amount was determined using a 30/360 Basis despite the fact that interest on this Note accrues on an Actual /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.

Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments at any time received by Lender from or on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any such payments to the then due and owing obligations of Borrower in such order of priority as Lender may deem advisable

LATE CHARGE; DEFAULT RATE.

5.1 Late Charge. If all or any portion of any payment (including, without limitation, any payment of any interest, P & I Payment amount, impound or other 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 the payment is due Borrower shall pay a late or collection charge, as liquidated damages, equal to 5% of the amount of such unpaid payment If all or any portion of the payment due on the Maturity Date is paid after the Maturity Date and on a date which is not the first day of a calendar 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 calendar 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 the Default Rate

6. MAXIMUM RATE PERMITTED BY LAW. Neither this Note nor the other Loan Documents shall be construed to require the payment or permit the collection of any interest or any late payment charge in excess of the maximum rate

PN CA Fixed Rate (Rev 04/2004) 3


LOGO

 

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, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such excess notwithstanding any other provision of the 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 Security Instrument 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 due and payable; provided, however, that if the Security Instrument 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 Security Instrument or such other Loan Document.

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 the Loan Documents, or Lender’s rights to enforce its remedies under this Note 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, enforcement or foreclosure of the liens, mortgages, assignments and security interests which are now or at any time hereafter secure for the payment or performance of any all obligations under this Note or the other Loan Documents.

10.13 Exhibits A and B attached hereto are incorporated herein by this reference.

11. PREPAYMENT - DEFEASANCE ONLY. 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:

11.1 Voluntary Prepayment. Any voluntary prepayment of this Note: (a) is prohibited during the Prepayment Lockout Period, and (b) is permitted in full only, and not in part

11 2 Prepayment Charge.

a Basic Charge. Except as provided below, if this Note is prepaid prior to the Open Period, 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

PN CA Fixed Rate (Rev 04/2004) 6


LOGO

 

following two amounts: (i) an amount equal to 1% of the amount prepaid; or (ii) an amount equal to (A) 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 Due Dates (or, with respect to the payment required on the Maturity Date, from the Maturity Date) 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 (B) a fraction whose numerator is the amount prepaid 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 (iii) the annual yield to maturity of the actively traded non-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 (iv) 12, if the Due Dates are monthly, or 4, if the scheduled Due Dates are quarterly.

b. Additional Charge. If this Note is prepaid on any day other than a Due Date, whether such prepayment is voluntary, 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 11.2 a 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 from and including the prepayment date to and including the last day of the calendar 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 Lender’s application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

11.3 Effect of Prepayment. No partial prepayment of this Note shall change any Due Date or the P&I Payment Amount, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing.

11.4 Waiver. Borrower waives any right to prepay this Note except under the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 11 and agrees that if this Note is prepaid, Borrower shall 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 Note 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
