================================================================================
Principal Amount: $10,000,000.00 Initial Rate: 9.750% Date of Note: December 12, 2000
PROMISE TO PAY. Fresh Enterprises, Inc. and Baja Fresh Westlake Village, Inc.,
dba Baja Fresh Mexican Grill (referred to in this Note individually and
collectively as "Borrower") jointly and severally promise to pay to Western
Financial Bank ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of
America, the principal amount of Ten Million & 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00)
or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid
outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from
the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal
plus all accrued unpaid interest on December 31, 2001. In addition, Xxxxxxxx
will pay regular monthly payments of accrued unpaid interest beginning February
1, 2001, and all subsequent interest payments are due on the same day of each
month after that. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a
365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a
year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by
the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will
pay Lender at Xxxxxx's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may
designate in writing. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law,
payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then to principal,
and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from
time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the Prime rate as
published in the Wall Street Journal. When a range of rates is published the
higher rate will be used (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest
rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the
term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to
Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Xxxxxxxx's
request. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as
well. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each Day. The
index currently is 9.500%. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid
principal balance of this Note will be at a rate of 0.250 percentage points over
the index, resulting in an initial rate of 9.750%. NOTICE: Under no
circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate
allowed by applicable law.
PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE. Xxxxxxxx agrees that all loan fees and
other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and
will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a
result of default), except as otherwise required by law. In any event, even upon
full prepayment of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a
minimum interest charge of $99.99. Other than Xxxxxxxx's obligation to pay any
minimum interest charge, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of
the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed
to by Xxxxxx in writing, relieve Xxxxxxxx of Xxxxxxxx's obligation to continue
to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, they will reduce the
principal balance due.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged
5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $20.00,
whichever is greater.
DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default (A).
LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Xxxxxx may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, without
notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount. Upon Xxxxxxxx's failure to pay
all amounts declared due pursuant to this section, including failure to pay upon
final maturity, Lender, at its option, may also, if permitted under applicable
law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 4.250 percentage points
over the Index. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if
Borrower does not pay. Xxxxxxxx also will pay Lender that amount. This includes,
subject to any limits under applicable law, Xxxxxx's attorneys' fees and
Xxxxxx's legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys'
fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify
or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated
post-judgment collection services. Xxxxxxxx also will pay any court costs, in
addition to all other sums provided by law. This Note has been delivered to
Lender and accepted by Lender in the State of California. If there is a lawsuit,
Xxxxxxxx agrees upon Xxxxxx's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the
courts of Orange County, the State of California. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx hereby
waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim
brought by either Xxxxxx or Borrower against the other. Subject to the
provisions on arbitration, this Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.
DISHONORED ITEM FEE. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $15.00 if Borrower
makes a payment on Borrower's loan and the check or preauthorized charge with
which Borrower pays is later dishonored.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual security interest in,
and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender all
Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Xxxxxxxx's accounts with Lender
(whether checking, savings, or some other account), including without limitation
all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open
in the future, excluding however all IRA and Xxxxx accounts, and all trust
accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be prohibited by law.
Borrower authorizes Xxxxxx, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge
or setoff all sums owing on this Note against any and all such accounts.
LINE OF CREDIT. This Note evidences a straight line of credit. Once the total
amount of principal has been advanced, Borrower is not entitled to further loan
advances. Advances under this Note may be requested either orally or in writing
by Xxxxxxxx or as provided in this paragraph. Lender may, but need not, require
that all oral requests be confirmed in writing. All communications,
instructions, or directions by telephone or otherwise to Lender are to be
directed to Xxxxxx's office shown above. The following party or parties are
authorized as provided in this paragraph to request advances under the line of
credit until Xxxxxx receives from Borrower at Xxxxxx's address shown above
written notice of revocation of their authority: Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx
Xxxxx. Any one (1) of the authorized parties may request advances under this
line of credit. Xxxxxxxx agrees to be liable for all sums either: (a) advanced
in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (b) credited to
any of Xxxxxxxx's accounts with Xxxxxx. The unpaid principal balance owing on
this Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by
Xxxxxx's internal records, including daily computer print-outs. Lender will have
no obligation to advance funds under this Note if: (a) Borrower or any guarantor
is in default under the terms of this Note or any agreement that Borrower or any
guarantor has with Lender, including any agreement made in connection with the
signing of this Note; (b) Borrower or any guarantor ceases doing business or is
insolvent; (c) any guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit,
modify or revoke such guarantor's guarantee of this Note or any other loan with
Lender; or (d) Borrower has applied funds provided pursuant to this Note for
purposes other than those authorized by Lender.
ARBITRATION. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx agree that all disputes, claims and
controversies between them, whether individual, joint, or class in nature,
arising from this Note or otherwise, including without limitation contract and
tort disputes, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the Rules of the American
Arbitration Association, upon request of either party. No act to take or dispose
of any collateral securing this Note shall constitute a waiver of this
arbitration agreement or be prohibited by this arbitration agreement. This
includes, without limitation, obtaining injunctive relief or a temporary
restraining order; invoking a power of sale under any deed of trust or mortgage;
obtaining a writ of attachment or imposition of a receiver; or exercising any
rights relating to personal property, including taking or disposing of such
property with or without judicial process pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code. Any disputes, claims, or controversies concerning the
lawfulness or reasonableness of any act, or exercise of any right,
12-12-2000 PROMISSORY NOTE Page 2
Loan No 9002 (Continued)
================================================================================
concerning any collateral securing this Note, including any claim to rescind,
reform, or otherwise modify any agreement relating to the collateral securing
this Note, shall also be arbitrated, provided however that no arbitrator shall
have the right or the power to enjoin or restrain any act of any party. Xxxxxx
and Xxxxxxxx agree that in the event of an action for judicial foreclosure
pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726, or any similar
provision in any other state, the commencement of such an action will not
constitute a waiver of the right to arbitrate and the court shall refer to
arbitration as much of such action, including counterclaims, as lawfully may be
referred to arbitration. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrator may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Nothing in this Note shall preclude
any party from seeking equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.
The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, and similar doctrines
which would otherwise be applicable in an action brought by a party shall be
applicable in any arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of an arbitration
proceeding shall be deemed the commencement of an action for these purposes. The
Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the construction, interpretation, and
enforcement of this arbitration provision.
5-YEAR EXTENSION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and so long as there
exists no Event of Default, upon maturity of this Note, the existing maturity
date of December 31, 2001, will be extended five (5) years and the then
outstanding principal balance will be repaid by Borrower to Lender in equal
monthly principal payments. In addition, Borrower shall pay Lender monthly
payments of accrued unpaid interest. The interest rate shall be selected by
Borrower from one of the three (3) options more fully referenced on the attached
Exhibit "A", which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Variable Interest Rate, referenced in item (a) on the attached Exhibit "A",
shall change from time to time based on changes to the Prime rate as published
in the Wall Street Journal ("Index"). The interest rate change will not occur
more often than each DAY. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid
principal balance shall be at a rate of 0.250 percentage points over the Index.
OTHER COVENANT. Xxxxxxxx acknowledges that no advances on this line of credit
will be permitted prior to January 2, 2001.
RIDERS. All changes contained herein are included on the attached Exhibit "X".
GENERAL PROVISIONS. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or
remedies under this Note without losing them. Each Borrower understands and
agrees that, with or without notice to Borrower, Lender may with respect to any
other Borrower (a) make one or more additional secured or unsecured loans or
otherwise extend additional credit; (b) alter, compromise, renew, extend,
accelerate, or otherwise change one or more times the time for payment or other
terms any indebtedness, including increases and decreases of the rate of
interest on the indebtedness; (c) exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate, fail or
decide not to perfect, and release any security, with or without the
substitution of new collateral; (d) apply such security and direct the order or
manner of sale thereof, including without limitation, any nonjudicial sale
permitted by the terms of the controlling security agreements, as Lender in its
discretion may determine; (e) release, substitute, agree not to sue, or deal
with any one or more of Borrower's sureties, endorsers, or other guarantors on
any terms or in any manner Lender may choose; and (f) determine how, when and
what application of payments and credits shall be made on any other indebtedness
owing by such other borrower. Borrower and any other person who signs,
guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive any
applicable statute of limitations, presentment, demand for payment, protest and
notice of dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless
otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as
maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from
liability. All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly
and for any length of time) this loan, or release any party or guarantor or
collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Xxxxxx's security
interest in the collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender
without the consent of or notice to anyone. All such parties also agree that
Xxxxxx may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other
than the party with whom the modification is made. The obligations under this
Note are joint and several.
