paid in full when due, or if any other default or event of default occurs and
the applicable cure periods have expired under the Loan Agreement or any other
present or future instrument, document, or agreement between Borrower and Coast,
Coast may, at its option, at any time thereafter, declare the entire unpaid
principal balance of this Note plus all accrued interest to be immediately due
and payable, without notice or demand. Without limiting the foregoing, and
without limiting Coast's other rights and remedies, in the event any installment
of principal or interest is not paid in full on or before the date due, Borrower
agrees that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual
damages resulting therefrom to Coast, and therefore the Borrower agrees
immediately to pay to Coast an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the
installment (or portion thereof) not paid, as liquidated damages, to compensate
Coast for the internal administrative expenses in administering the default.
The acceptance of any installment of principal or interest by Coast after the
time when it becomes due, as herein specified, shall not be held to establish a
custom, or to waive any rights of Coast to enforce payment when due of any
further installments or any other rights, nor shall any failure or delay to
exercise any rights be held to waive the same.
All payments hereunder are to be applied first to costs and fees
referred to hereunder, second to the payment of accrued interest and the
remaining balance to the payment of principal. Any principal prepayment
hereunder shall be applied against principal payments in the inverse order of
maturity. Coast shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or
reverse and reapply any and all payments hereunder in its sole discretion.
Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses (including without
limitation attorney's fees) incurred by Coast in connection with or related to
this Note, or its enforcement, whether or not suit be brought. Except as
expressly provided to the contrary in the Loan Agreement, Borrower hereby
further waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of
nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, and any and all other notices and
demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or
enforcement of this Note.
18
This Note is secured by the Loan Agreement and all other present and
future security agreements between Borrower and Coast. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to limit any of the terms or provisions of the Loan Agreement, or any
other present or future document, instrument or agreement, between Borrower and
Coast, and all of Coast's rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder are
cumulative.
In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall for
any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the same shall not
affect any other provision of this Note and the remaining provisions of this
Note shall remain in full force and effect.
No waiver or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this
Note shall be valid or binding unless set forth in a writing signed by a duly
authorized officer of Coast, and then only to the extent therein specifically
set forth.
COAST AND BORROWER EACH HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELYING TO: (i)
THIS NOTE; OR (ii) ANY OTHER PRESENT OR FUTURE INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN
COAST AND BORROWER; OR (iii) ANY CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF COAST OR BORROWER
OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER
PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH COAST OF BORROWER.
19
This Note is payable in, and shall be governed by the internal laws,
of the State of California.
