a. From the date of first disbursement of the proceeds of this Note until
the Initial Maturity Date, interest at a per annum rate (the "Note
Rate") equal to 7.5572 percent. Interest shall be paid monthly, in
advance, commencing on September 1, 2004 and on the first day of each
month thereafter (i.e. interest for August, 2004 is due and payable on
August 1, 2004) except that interest to accrue from the date of first
disbursement of principal hereunder through the date hereof both

b. A final balloon payment of all outstanding principal and all accrued
and unpaid interest and all other sums then due and payable under this
Note, the Mortgage, hereinafter defined, and the Other Loan Documents,
hereinafter defined, shall be paid on August 15, 2005 ("Initial
Maturity Date").
Provided no event of default or breach in any of the terms or conditions of
this Note, beyond any applicable cure period, or under the "Guaranty" or any of
the "Other Loan Documents" (as hereinafter defined), has ever occurred, either
prior to or at the time of the Notice of Election, hereafter defined, or
subsequently on or before the first day of the Extension Term, hereinafter
defined, and further provided (i) Lender, in its reasonable discretion, has
determined that there has been no material adverse change in the net operating
income, on an annualized basis, of the Premises, hereafter defined, tenancy or
terms of occupancy, (ii) Maker has provided Lender with the following
information: current operating statements and financial statements for the
Premises, current financial statements for Maker, a current rent roll and a
pro-forma operating statement for the Premises during the extension term and for
the following 12 months and (iii) the Premises has not suffered any significant
damage or other casualty of $100,000 or more in aggregate or any damage by fire
or casualty of less than $100,000 that is not covered by applicable insurance,
unless same has been repaired at Borrower's expense, (iv) there is no
condemnation commenced or threatened against the Premises which would have a
material adverse effect on the value of the Premises or the Premises operations,
(v) there is no environmental claim or complaint, pending or threatened,
relating to the Premises, the land, the Maker or any contiguous land, other than
that previously disclosed by Maker (vi) no law, regulation, ordinance,
restriction or similar matter has been enacted or adapted by any federal, state
or local government that would, in Lender's reasonable judgment, materially
adversely affect the income, expenses, occupancy or use of the Premises, (vii)
Maker is not involved in any
litigation (except solely as plaintiff or where the amount in controversy will
in no event be in excess of $100,000.00), pending or threatened bankruptcy,
reorganization, receivership or insolvency proceedings, and (viii) Lender has
determined that there has been a material deterioration (reduction in cash flow
of 10% or more) in the cash flow from the Premises as compared to the highest
actual cash flow from the Premises at any time prior to such comparison, then
Maker may elect to extend the Maturity Date of this Note for not more than one
(1) term of twelve (12) months (the "Extension Term" and the expiration of the
Extension Term being the "Extension Maturity Date") on the following terms and
conditions:
1. The Extension Term election shall be exercised by Maker serving a
separate written notice (each a "Notice of Election") to the holder
hereof at least twenty (20) days, but not more than sixty (60) days,
prior to the expiration of the Initial Maturity Date;
2. As consideration to the holder hereof for granting the Extension Term,
a non-refundable fee (the "Extension Fee") in the amount of Two
Hundred Twenty Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty Six Dollars
($227,966.00) shall be paid to Lender at the time such extension is
granted.
3. The interest rate during the Extension Term shall be 7.9933 percent
per annum.
4. The Extension Term shall be documented as reasonably required by the
holder hereof and may include, without limitation: (i) a statement to
the holder hereof from Maker and all guarantors of this Note, which
recertifies as true and accurate all covenants, representations and
warranties contained in the Mortgage and in the Other Loan Documents;
and (ii) a written acknowledgment and consent from all of the
guarantors acknowledging and consenting to the Extension Term and
reaffirming their respective guaranties.
Maker acknowledges that the monthly installments required by the terms of
this Note will not amortize the principal sum of the indebtedness by either the
Initial Maturity Date or the Extension Maturity Date, each sometimes hereinafter
referred to as a "Maturity Date", resulting in a "balloon payment" on any of
such maturity dates of the then unpaid principal sum and accrued and unpaid
interest thereon. The holder of this Note has made no agreement to refinance
such balloon payment.
Interest (including without limitation, any interest due hereunder at the
Default Rate) on unpaid principal shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day
year using the actual number of days for the applicable period in any such year
as follows: the interest rate shall be multiplied by the outstanding principal
balance of this Note; the resulting product shall be divided by 365, with the
resulting quotient multiplied by the number of days for the period for which
interest is payable. All payments required to be made herein shall be made in
lawful money of the United States of America.
2
All monthly payments shall be due and payable on the first day of the
month. If any monthly payment due hereunder, including without limitation the
real estate tax and insurance premium payments required by Article 31 of the
Mortgage securing this Note, is not made on or before the 10th day after the
date such payment is due, a late payment charge equal to 5% of the delinquent
payment shall be due and payable and the interest rate hereunder shall increase
to the Default Rate on the entire outstanding principal sum until such monthly
payment and all applicable interest is paid, unless the Loan has been
accelerated. If the final balloon payment of all outstanding principal and all
accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums then due and payable under this
Note, the Mortgage and the Other Loan Documents is not made on the applicable
Maturity Date, a late payment charge equal to 5% of the delinquent payment shall
be due and payable and the interest rate hereunder shall increase to the Default
Rate on the entire outstanding principal sum and all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon effective the applicable Maturity Date until all outstanding principal
and all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums then due and payable
under this Note, the Mortgage and the Other Loan Documents are paid in full
including, but not limited to, the payment of such increased interest and the
late payment charge. No grace period is provided for the payment of principal
and interest due on the Maturity Date.
Whenever a late charge is due under this Note, Maker acknowledges: that its
failure to timely make the delinquent payment will cause Lender to incur
additional expenses and the loss of the use of funds; that it is extremely
difficult and impractical to determine such additional expenses and loss of use
of funds; that the late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking
in to account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the
additional expenses and the loss of use of funds Lender will incur by reason of
such late payment; and that the late charge is in addition to, and not in lieu
of, any interest payable at the Default Rate. Whenever the interest rate
hereunder shall increase to the Default Rate, Maker also acknowledges: that a
delinquent payment or the occurrence of an event of default will materially
increase Lender's risk and/or cause Lender to incur additional expenses in
servicing and processing the indebtedness evidence by this Note and its loss of
the use of the money due; that it is extremely difficult and impractical to
determine such additional expenses and loss of use of the money due; that the
increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate
represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking in to account all
circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional expenses
Lender will incur by reason of an occurrence of an event of default and the
additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of
any nonpayment associated therewith. The provisions of this paragraph, and the
immediately preceding paragraph, are intended to govern only the determination
of damages in the event of a breach in the performance of Maker to make timely
payments hereunder or cure an event of default hereunder. Nothing in this Note
shall be construed as in any way giving Maker the right, express or implied, to
fail to make timely payments hereunder, whether upon payment of such damages or
otherwise. The right of Lender to receive payment of such liquidated and actual
damages, and receipt thereof, are without prejudice to the right of Lender to
collect such delinquent payments and any other amounts provided to be paid
hereunder or under any of the Mortgage or Other Loan Documents executed by Maker
in favor of Lender with
3
respect to the subject matter hereof, or to declare a default hereunder or under
the Mortgage or any of the Other Loan Documents.
All payments required herein shall be applied first to all sums other than
principal and interest due and payable under the terms of this Note, the
Mortgage or the Other Loan Documents, hereinafter defined, next to all accrued
and unpaid interest, including all interest at the Default Rate, with the
balance of such payments, if any, applied to the outstanding principal sum due
under this Note.
Any check, draft, money order or other instrument given in payment of all
or any portion of this Note may be accepted by Lender and handled in collection
in the customary manner at its option, but the same shall not constitute payment
hereunder or diminish any rights of Lender, except to the extent that actual
cash proceeds of such instrument are unconditionally received by Lender and
applied to this indebtedness as herein provided. Payment in full checks are
prohibited except pursuant to a separate written agreement between Maker and the
holder hereof expressly permitting paid in full checks. Payments received at the
Lender's office after 2:00 p.m. local time, will be credited against this Note
on the next business day.
The entire outstanding principal sum together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and any and all other payments then due hereunder and under the
Mortgage and Other Loan Documents may be prepaid in whole or in part without
premium or penalty, at any time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written
notice to the holder hereof. Partial prepayments will not defer, offset, reduce,
suspend or xxxxx any monthly installment payments due hereunder. Any prepayment
hereunder must include all accrued and unpaid interest (including, without
limitation, any interest at the Default Rate due hereunder) and all late payment
charges that have accrued and are unpaid through the date of such prepayment,
and all other sums due hereunder and under the Mortgage and the Other Loan
Documents. Only upon payment of (i) the entire outstanding principal balance of
this Note, (ii) all late payment charges, (iii) all accrued and unpaid interest
(including without limitation, any interest due hereunder at the Default Rate)
then due under this Note, and (iv) all other sums then due hereunder and under
the Mortgage and the Other Loan Documents; shall this Note be deemed paid in
full and the Mortgage and the Other Loan Documents be cancelled and released. If
Maker shall fail to effect any prepayment within sixty (60) days after the
written notice thereof has been received by Holder, then Maker shall pay to
Holder immediately upon the expiration of said sixty-day period a prepayment
termination fee in the amount of Two Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars
($2,500.00) as liquidated damages since the actual damage to Holder as a result
of not receiving the anticipated prepayment shall be difficult or impossible to
accurately ascertain.
The entire outstanding principal sum together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, and all other payments then due hereunder and under the
Mortgage and Other Loan Documents and together with, to the extent permitted
under applicable law, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and
disbursements, incurred by the holder in collecting or enforcing payment
thereof, shall be and become immediately due and payable at the option of the
holder hereof in the event of default in the making of any payments due
hereunder, including real estate
4
tax and insurance premium payments required by Article 31 of the Mortgage,
continuing after the expiration of any applicable grace period, or in the event
the right of acceleration accrues to the holder hereof pursuant to the terms and
provisions of the Mortgage or the Other Loan Documents or in the event of any
other default, under this Note, the Mortgage or under any of the Other Loan
Documents, continuing after the expiration of any applicable grace or cure
period. The entire outstanding principal sum and all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum ("Default Rate")
effective the date of default, in the event of any default hereunder or under
the Mortgage or any Other Loan Documents which is not cured within any
applicable grace or cure period, or from and after the date on which the right
of acceleration accrues to the holder hereof pursuant to any of the terms of
this Note, the Mortgage or the Other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or
not such acceleration is actually declared. Interest accrued at the Default
Rate, and accrued late charges, shall be included in the determination of the
amount of any judgment entered on this Note, in any judgment of foreclosure of
the Mortgage and in determining the amount of any deficiency due after any
foreclosure sale of the Premises, hereinafter defined.
The entire outstanding principal sum together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, and all other payments then due hereunder and under the
Mortgage and Other Loan Documents and together with, to the extent permitted
under applicable law, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and
disbursements, incurred by the holder in collecting or enforcing payment thereof
shall also be and become immediately due and payable at the option of the holder
hereof (a) if, except as may be permitted by the Mortgage, the Premises, or any
part thereof or any interest therein is conveyed, sold (including a sale on an
installment basis or pursuant to a land sale contract), transferred, leased,
encumbered or assigned in any manner whether voluntarily or involuntarily
without the prior written consent of the holder hereof; or (b) if any
representation or warranty of Maker or any guarantor, made herein, in the
Mortgage or any Other Loan Documents, or in any certificate, report, financial
statement or other instrument or document furnished to Lender shall have been
false or misleading in any material respect when made; or (c) in the event of
any other prohibited transfer or any other event described in the Mortgage or
any Other Loan Documents causing acceleration of the Maturity Date of this Note.
With prior written notice to Beneficiary, but without Beneficiary's prior
written consent, Borrower may convey membership interests among its members and
to spouses, siblings, children or parents of members and to trusts solely to the
extent same is done for estate planning purposes.
The remedies of the holder hereof as provided herein and in Mortgage or in
any Other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued
singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of the holder
hereof, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. The
failure by the holder hereof to exercise any rights, powers, or remedies in this
Note provided, including the right to accelerate the Maturity Date of this Note,
upon the occurrence of one or more events of default under this Note, the
Mortgage or any of the Other Loan Documents, shall not constitute a waiver of
the right to exercise the same or any other right, power, or remedy at any
subsequent time in respect to the same event of default or any other event of
default. The acceptance by the holder of this Note of any payment
5
after the date such payment was due and any act of omission or commission by the
holder hereof, including specifically any failure to exercise any right, remedy
or recourse, shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any rights,
powers, or remedies provided in this Note or in the Mortgage or any Other Loan
Documents at that time, or any subsequent time, or nullify any prior exercise of
any right, power, or remedy unless the holder of this Note so agrees in writing.
Except as may be otherwise specifically required herein, notice of the exercise
of any right, power or remedy granted to the holder hereof by this Note is not
required to be given.
Maker shall pay on demand all expenses and costs, including fees and out-of
pocket expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses and costs of investigation,
incurred by Lender as a result of any default under this Note or in connection
with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note, or to enforce the
provisions the Mortgage or the Other Loan Documents, including those incurred in
post-judgment collection efforts, in any bankruptcy proceeding (including any
action for relief from the automatic stay of any bankruptcy proceeding), or in
any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding including any appellate
proceedings and review of tenant estoppel letters and subordination, attornment
and non-disturbance agreements. Interest shall accrue on any judgment obtained
by Lender in connection with the enforcement or collection of this Note until
such judgment amount is paid in full at a rate equal to the greater of (a) the
Default Rate or (b) the legal rate applicable to judgments within such
jurisdiction; provided, however, that interest shall not accrue at a rate in
excess of the maximum rate of interest, if any, which may be charged or
collected from Maker under applicable law.
The liability of each of the Makers hereunder shall be primary, direct,
joint, and several, and none of the Makers shall be deemed a surety,
accommodation maker, or guarantor. The liability of each of the Makers shall not
be adversely affected by (a) modification, extension, renewal, substitution or
replacement of this Note, the Mortgage and any of the Other Loan Documents; (b)
the extension of additional credit separate from this transaction by Lender; (c)
the surrender, release, renewal, extension, sale exchange, or other disposition
of all or any part of the collateral securing this Note or the acceptance of any
additional or substituted collateral for this Note; (d) Lender's failure to
protect any such collateral from waste, diminution in value, or otherwise; (e)
Lender's purchase of any such collateral at judicial or other sale, or any
subsequent resale at public or private sale; (f) any extension of time or any
other indulgence granted by Lender under this Note, the Mortgage and any of the
Other Loan Documents; (g) any failure or delay by Lender in attempting to
enforce any of its rights or remedies under this Note, the Mortgage any of the
Other Loan Documents; (h) Lender's proceeding against fewer than all parties
liable under this Note; (i) Lender's release, settlement, or compromise of its
claim against any other party liable on this Note; or (j) the occurrence of any
other event which might otherwise operate as a discharge under principles of
suretyship.
Each Maker waives all rights to seek contribution, indemnification, or
other form of reimbursement from the other Makers or any other person liable
under this Note, including any rights of subrogation to the rights of Lender
until the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day from the date the Loan is
paid in full. In the event any payment on this Note is held to constitute
6
a preference under the bankruptcy laws, the liability of each Maker shall
automatically be revived to the full extent of such payment.
This Note is secured by a First Mortgage and Security Agreement
("Mortgage") encumbering certain real estate, and the improvements thereon,
situated in the City of Gilroy, Santa Xxxxx County, California commonly known as
Xxxxxxx Pass Shopping Center, intersection of Camino Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx as more particularly described in the Mortgage, and
which Mortgage also grants a security interest in Equipment and intangibles, if
any, as defined in the Mortgage (such real estate, improvements, Equipment and
intangibles being herein collectively referred to as the "Premises"). In
addition to the Mortgage, this Note is also secured by other loan documents,
including, but not limited to, an Assignment of Leases and Rents, Financing
Statements, Environmental Indemnity Agreement, Collateral Assignment of
Deposits, Collateral Assignment of Representations, Pledge of Security Deposit
Account and a Loan Guaranty Agreement (collectively, "Other Loan Documents". The
terms, provisions and the representations contained in the Mortgage and the
Other Loan Documents are hereby incorporated herein by reference to the same
extent and with like effect as if the terms and provisions thereof and
representations therein were recited verbatim herein. Any default under the
Mortgage or Other Loan Documents shall be deemed to constitute a default
hereunder. All notices which may be required hereunder shall be sufficiently
served by delivering same as provided and at the addresses appearing in the
Mortgage for the service of notice.
As to this Note and the Mortgage and the Other Loan Documents securing the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note, the undersigned and the successors,
transferees and assigns thereof, and all guarantors and endorsers (i) severally
waive all applicable exemption rights, whether under State Constitution,
homestead laws, other statutes or otherwise, and also severally waive valuation
and appraisement, presentment, demand for payment, dishonor and notice of
dishonor, protest and notice of protest and nonpayment, diligence in collection
and notice of the intention to accelerate, and (ii) expressly agree that the
maturity of this Note, or any payment hereunder, may be extended from time to
time without in any way affecting the liability of the undersigned, guarantors
or endorsers. Except as may be expressly stated herein or in the Mortgage
securing this Note, the undersigned hereby waives all rights of set off of any
kind or nature, and declares that the holder hereof may negotiate and sell this
Note free of all such defenses and rights of set off and without notice, and
that this Note shall be fully paid when due.
Maker is and shall be obligated to pay principal, interest and any and all
other amounts which become payable hereunder or under the Mortgage or under the
Other Loan Documents absolutely and unconditionally and without any abatement,
postponement, diminution or deduction and without any reduction for counterclaim
or set off. In the event that at any time any payment received by the holder
hereof shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a
voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under any bankruptcy, insolvency
or other debtor relief law, the obligation to make such payment shall survive
any cancellation or satisfaction of this Note or return of such payment to Maker
and shall not be discharged or satisfied with any prior payment thereof or
cancellation of this Note, but shall remain a valid and
7
binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions
hereof, and such payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.
No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any installment
hereof made by agreement by the holder hereof with any person now or hereafter
liable for the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify,
change or affect the original liability under this Note, either in whole, or in
part, of the Maker or any successor, transferee or assign of Maker or any
guarantors or endorsers.
If at any time or times hereafter the holder of this Note employs counsel
for advice with respect to a default by the undersigned, or guarantor, if any,
of this Note, the Mortgage or any Other Loan Documents, or to intervene, file a
petition, answer, motion or other pleading in any suit or proceeding relating to
this Note, the Mortgage or any Other Loan Documents, or to attempt to collect
this Note from or to enforce this Note or the Mortgage or any Other Loan
Documents against the undersigned or any other person or entity obligated for
the payment or performance of this Note, then, in any of such events, all of the
attorneys' fees arising from such services and all expenses, costs and charges
relating thereto, shall be additional indebtedness owing hereunder by the
undersigned to the holder of this Note payable on demand.
This Note and all the provisions hereof shall extend to, be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the undersigned, its successors, transferees,
assigns, heirs, legatees, legal representatives and any future owner of the
Premises or any part thereof, and the Lender and any and all persons hereafter
owning or holding from time to time this Note, and their respective heirs,
legatees, legal representatives, successors, transferees and assigns.
Any interest computation under this Note (or under any other instrument
executed in connection with or as security for the payment hereof) shall be at
not more than the maximum legal rate permitted by applicable law and in the
event it should be held that interest payable under this Note (or under any
other instrument executed in connection with or as security for the payment
hereof) is in excess of the maximum permitted by law, the interest chargeable
hereunder (or under any other instrument executed in connection with or as
security for the payment hereof) shall be reduced to the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law. If the holder of this Note shall collect interest
which is in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law, all such sums deemed
to constitute interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law shall, at the option of the holder hereof, shall be refunded to Maker or be
credited to the payment of other amounts due under the Mortgage or Other Loan
Documents, or to the principal of this Note, as the holder hereof determines.
Maker agrees to pay the effective rate of interest which is the total of
interest computed at the rate stated herein plus any additional interest
resulting from any other payments in the nature of interest, including without
limitation, any initial service charge, extension fees, maintenance fees, late
charge or default interest to the extent that such charges may be deemed
includable in interest for any purpose, expressed as a rate of interest computed
on the principal balance from
8
time to time outstanding and the number of days elapsed from the date of
disbursement until the date of payment.
Funds representing proceeds of the indebtedness evidenced hereby which are
disbursed for any purpose by any holder hereof to the undersigned, or to any
escrow or otherwise for the benefit of the undersigned, whether by mail, wire
transfer or other delivery, shall be deemed principal outstanding hereunder and
to have been received by the undersigned as of the date of such mailing, wire
transfer or other delivery, and interest shall accrue and be payable upon such
funds from and after the date of such mailing, wire transfer or delivery until
repaid, notwithstanding the fact that such funds may not at any time have been
remitted by any escrows to the undersigned or for its benefit.
Maker represents, warrants and covenants that (i) the indebtedness
evidenced by this Note is being obtained for the purpose of acquiring and
carrying on a business or commercial enterprise, (ii) all proceeds of such
indebtedness will be used solely in connection with such business or commercial
enterprise, and (iii) the proceeds of such indebtedness will not be used for the
purchase of registered equity securities within the purview of Regulation "U"
issued by the Board of Governors at the Federal Reserve System.
Maker represents, warrants, and covenants for so long as this Note remains
unpaid in full, Maker shall not do any of the following: (a) engage in any
business or activity other than those set forth in its Articles of Organization
and Operating Agreement; (b) do any act which would make it impossible to carry
on the ordinary business of Maker; (c) borrow money or incur any indebtedness or

trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Maker or a substantial part
of property of Maker, or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or
take company action in furtherance of any such action; or (g) amend the
Certificate of Formation or the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of
the Maker.
In addition Maker shall: (a) maintain books and records and bank accounts

Maker represents and warrants to the holder hereof that the obligation
evidenced by this Note is an exempted transaction under the Truth-In-Lending
Act, 15 U.S.C. 1601, et seq., and that said obligation constitutes a business
loan for purposes of the application of any laws that distinguish between
consumer loans and business loans and that have as their purpose the protection
of consumers. Without limitation of the foregoing, Maker represents, warrants
and covenants that the proceeds of the loan evidenced by this Note will be used
for business purposes and for only such uses as are described in any exception
to the prohibition against usurious interest set forth in 815 ILCS 205/4, or any
successor or similar provision of applicable law and to secure payment of all
amounts due under this Note, the undersigned hereby irrevocably authorizes any
attorney of any court of record to appear for the undersigned in such court, in
term time or vacation, at any time after an event of default hereunder or under
the Mortgage or any Other Loan Documents and confess a judgment, without
process, in favor of the holder of this Note, for such amount as may appear to
be unpaid under this Note, together with costs of collection, including
attorneys' fees and disbursements, and to waive and release all errors which may
intervene in any such proceedings, and subject to applicable law consent to
immediate execution upon such judgment, the undersigned hereby ratifying and
confirming all that said attorney may do by virtue hereof.
Any term or provision of this Note which is unenforceable, invalid or
contrary to law, or the inclusion of which would affect the validity, legality
or enforcement of this Note shall be of no effect, and in such case, all the
remaining terms and provisions of this Note shall subsist and shall be fully
effective according to the terms of this Note, the same as though any such
provision had not been included herein, provided that where the provisions of
any such applicable law may be waived, they hereby are waived by Maker to the
full extent permitted by law in order that this Note shall be deemed to be a
valid and binding Note in accordance with its terms.
Time is of the essence with respect to all of the undersigned's obligations
and agreements under this Note, the Mortgage and the Other Loan Documents.
If the undersigned shall, at any time, consist of two or more persons or
entities, then all the liabilities and obligations of the undersigned hereunder
shall be joint and several.
This Note was made and delivered in the State of Illinois and shall be
construed for all purposes and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State

or proceeding against the undersigned or against property of the undersigned

10
Illinois state court sitting in Xxxx or DuPage County, Illinois, or federal

in Santa Xxxxx County, California or federal court for the Northern District of
California, and the undersigned hereby irrevocably agrees that any Action may be
heard and determined in such state courts or in such Federal courts. The
undersigned hereby irrevocably waives any rights it may have to assert that such
Illinois state courts or federal court in Chicago provide either an improper or
inconvenient venue. The undersigned hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent possible, the defense or assertion of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of any Action in any jurisdiction. The undersigned hereby
