(ii) On January 1, 2005 and on the first day of each succeeding calendar month through and including December 1, 2009, payments in the amount of Seven Hundred Ninety-Nine Thousand Dollars ($799,000), each of which will be applied to accrued interest on the Principal at the Fixed Interest Rate; and

Section 2. Prepayment Provisions.
(a) The following definitions apply:
"Discount Rate" means the yield on a U.S. Treasury issue selected by Xxxxxx, as published in The Wall Street Journal, two weeks prior to prepayment, having a maturity date corresponding (or most closely corresponding, if not identical) to the Maturity Date, and, if applicable, a coupon rate corresponding (or most closely corresponding, if not identical) to the Fixed Interest Rate.
"Default Discount Rate" means the Discount Rate less 300 basis points.
"Discounted Value" means the Discounted Value of a Note Payment based on the following formula:
|
NP
(1 + R/12)n |
= Discounted Value | |
|
NP |
= |
Amount of Note Payment |
|
R |
= |
Discount Rate or Default Discount Rate as the case may be. |
|
n |
= |
The number of months between the date of prepayment and the scheduled date of the Note Payment being discounted rounded to the nearest integer. |
"Evasion Premium" means, with respect to any prepayment, Acceleration or other payment described in Section 2(c) below giving rise to such Evasion Premium that occurs (i) prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date (as defined below), the greater of the following, calculated as of the date of the applicable prepayment or Acceleration: (x) an amount equal to the product of one percent (1%) plus 300 basis points times the Prepayment Date Principal, and (y) the amount by which the sum of the Discounted Values of the Note Payments, determined by using the Default Discount Rate, exceeds the Prepayment Date Principal, and (ii) on or after the Permitted Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium. In order to calculate the amount in clause (y) above, each remaining Note Payment will be discounted and the resulting Discounted Values will be added together.
"Note Payments" means (i) the scheduled Debt Service Payments for the period from the date of prepayment through the Maturity Date and (ii) the scheduled repayment of Principal, if any, on the Maturity Date.
"Permitted Prepayment Date" means November 1, 2006.
"Prepayment Date Principal" means the Principal on the date of prepayment.
(b) This Note may not be prepaid in full or in part before the Permitted Prepayment Date. Commencing on the Permitted Prepayment Date, provided there is no Event of Default, Borrower may prepay this Note in full, but not in part, on the first day of any calendar month, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender and upon payment in full of the Debt which will
| 2 | ||
|
| ||
include a payment (the "Prepayment Premium") equal to the greater of (i) an amount equal to the product of 1% times the Prepayment Date Principal and (ii) the amount by which the sum of the Discounted Values of the Note Payments, derived by using the Discount Rate plus 25 basis points, exceeds the Prepayment Date Principal. In order to calculate (ii) in the foregoing, each remaining Note Payment will be discounted and the resulting Discounted Values will be added together. Provided there is no Event of Default, this Note may be prepaid in full without payment of the Prepayment Premium on or after August 1, 2014. This Note may not be prepaid without simultaneous prepayment in full of any other notes secured by the Loan Documents.
(c) At any time before the Permitted Prepayment Date, following an Acceleration or upon any other prepayment not permitted by the Loan Documents, any tender of payment of the amount necessary to satisfy the Debt accelerated, any judgment of foreclosure, any statement of the amount due at the time of foreclosure (including foreclosure by power of sale) and any tender of payment made during any redemption period after foreclosure, will include the Evasion Premium, calculated as of the date of the Acceleration or the date of such unpermitted prepayment, as the case may be.
(d) Borrower acknowledges that:
(i) a prepayment of this Note without payment of the Prepayment Premium or the Evasion Premium (collectively, the "Premiums"), as applicable, will cause damage to Lender;
(ii) the Premiums are intended to compensate Lender for the loss of its investment and the expense incurred and time and effort associated with making the Loan, which will not be fully repaid if the Loan is prepaid without payment of the applicable Premium;
(iii) it will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain the extent of Xxxxxx’s damages caused by a prepayment after an Event of Default or any other prepayment not permitted by the Loan Documents; and
(iv) the Premiums represent Lender and Xxxxxxxx’s reasonable estimate of Xxxxxx’s damages for a prepayment and are not penalties.
(e) BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LENDER WOULD NOT LEND TO BORROWER THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE WITHOUT (1) BORROWER’S WAIVER OF 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 OF THIS NOTE, AND (2) XXXXXXXX’S AGREEMENT, AS SET FORTH ABOVE, TO PAY LENDER A PREPAYMENT PREMIUM UPON THE SATISFACTION OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PRINCIPAL INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED FOLLOWING THE ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE HEREOF BY REASON OF A DEFAULT HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE DEED OF TRUST (EXCEPT ON AND AFTER AUGUST 1, 2014) INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, A DEFAULT ARISING FROM THE CONVEYANCE OF ANY RIGHT, TITLE OR INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY

(iii) it will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain the extent of Xxxxxx’s damages caused by the delinquency; and
(iv) the Late Charge represents Lender and Xxxxxxxx’s reasonable estimate of Xxxxxx’s damages from the delinquency and is not a penalty.
Section 6. Limitation of Liability. This Note is subject to the limitations on liability set forth in the Article of the Deed of Trust entitled "Limitation of Liability".
Section 7. WAIVERS. IN ADDITION TO THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THE ARTICLE OF THE DEED OF TRUST ENTITLED "WAIVERS", BORROWER WAIVES PRESENTMENT FOR PAYMENT, DEMAND, DISHONOR AND, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, NOTICE OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING. BORROWER FURTHER WAIVES ANY PROTEST, LACK OF DILIGENCE OR DELAY IN COLLECTION OF THE DEBT OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. BORROWER AND ALL INDORSERS, SURETIES AND GUARANTORS OF THE OBLIGATIONS CONSENT TO ANY EXTENSIONS OF TIME, RENEWALS, WAIVERS AND MODIFICATIONS THAT LENDER MAY GRANT WITH RESPECT TO THE OBLIGATIONS AND TO THE RELEASE OF ANY SECURITY FOR THIS NOTE AND AGREE THAT ADDITIONAL BORROWERS MAY BECOME PARTIES TO THIS NOTE AND ADDITIONAL INDORSERS, GUARANTORS OR SURETIES MAY BE ADDED WITHOUT NOTICE AND WITHOUT AFFECTING THE LIABILITY OF THE ORIGINAL BORROWER OR ANY ORIGINAL INDORSER, SURETY OR GUARANTOR.
Section 8. Commercial Loan. The Loan is made for the purpose of carrying on a business or commercial activity or acquiring real or personal property as an investment or carrying on an investment activity and not for personal or household purposes.
Section 9. Usury Limitations. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx intend to comply with all Laws with respect to the charging and receiving of interest. Any amounts charged or received by Lender for the use or forbearance of the Principal to the extent permitted by Law, will be amortized and spread throughout the Term until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest charged or received by Xxxxxx on account the Principal does not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. If any amount charged or received under the Loan Documents that is deemed to be interest is determined to be in excess of the amount permitted to be charged or received at the Maximum Interest Rate, the excess will be deemed to be a prepayment of Principal when paid, without premium, and any portion of the excess not capable of being so applied will be refunded to Borrower. If during the Term the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, is eliminated, then for purposes of the Loan, there will be no Maximum Interest Rate.

When the default under the other note or related loan documents constitutes an "Event of Default" under that note or the related loan documents, an Event of Default also will exist under this Note and the other Loan Documents.
Section 13. Construction. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Note, this Note will be construed in accordance with the Exhibit attached to the Deed of Trust entitled "Rules of Construction".
