when paid.
Section 2.6 Payments.
(a) Manner and Time of Payment.

hereunder payable to Lender shall be made without
condition or reservation of right and free of set-off or
counterclaim, in immediately available funds, delivered

California time) on the date due; and funds received by
Lender after that time and date shall be deemed to have
been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b) Prepayments.
Borrower is precluded from prepaying all or any
portion of the Loan prior to November 19, 2002. Borrower
may, at any time on or after November 19, 2002 and from
time to time thereafter, prepay all or any portion of the

any Interest Rate Adjustment Premium assessed pursuant to
the Note. If, notwithstanding the prohibition set forth
in the preceding sentence, any portion of the outstanding

November 19, 2002 as a consequence of damage or
condemnation of the Collateral or acceleration under the
Note and application of proceeds of foreclosure upon any
Collateral, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to
any Interest Rate Adjustment Premium, a prepayment
premium equal to one percent (1.00%) of the principal
amount of the Loan so prepaid.
Section 2.7 Release of Property.
Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Event
of Default then exists, and provided that at least four
(4) Properties shall remain subject to the lien of the
Deed of Trust, at Borrower's written request at any time

allocable to such Property as shown on Exhibit A hereto
(the "Release Price"); provided, however, that Borrower
shall have the right to prepay additional outstanding
principal under the Loan, together with any applicable
Interest Rate Adjustment Premium, in order to comply with

(d) The Debt Service Coverage Ratio applicable

requested release, (ii) the outstanding principal under
the Loan shall reflect the prepayment of principal

the Closing Date, and (ii) each requested release of
Property thereafter: (1) Lender shall have the right, in
its sole discretion, to conduct Appraisals of any or all
of the Property that will remain part of the Collateral

prepayments to be effected in connection therewith, and
whether or not Lender has conducted new Appraisals of any
Property), shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the
aggregate Appraised Value of all such remaining Property;
and
(f) Lender shall have been paid all Interest
Rate Adjustment Premiums, escrow, closing and recording
costs, the costs of preparing and delivering a
reconveyance of the Deed of Trust encumbering released
Property, and the costs of any title insurance

this Section 2.7 or Section 2.8, allocated loan amounts
for each Property shall be adjusted, in proportion to the
relative Appraised Values of each Property, and the
Release Prices adjusted accordingly.

of Credit given to Lender as security for Borrower's
performance under the Loan Documents, and such recovery

Obligations; or (iii) the collection of amounts which may

condemnation awards or damages for other public actions
or surety bonds maintained or provided by Borrower. In
addition, nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a
waiver of any obligation evidenced by the Loan Documents,
nor limit, amend, alter or diminish any right which
Lender may have under the provisions of Sections 506(a),
506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy
Reform Act of 1978, or any successor statute thereto, or
any similar provision under applicable state law, to file

Property) at all times against loss or damage with
property hazard insurance in an amount at least equal to
the full insurable value of such improvements (including
tenant improvements) on a replacement cost basis, as
determined by Lender (as such insurable value may change
from time to time) and against any other risk or hazard
which in the opinion of Lender should be insured against
including, without limitation, earthquake, flood and
business interruption (including rent loss and/or extra
expense or as appropriate). Borrower shall also carry
public liability insurance with coverage amounts
(including deductibles) as determined by Lender (as such
coverage amounts may change from time to time). All
insurance policies shall (a) be in such form and with
such endorsements as may be required by Lender,
(b) provide a lender's loss payable
endorsement or be
(c) endorsed with a standard non-contributory
mortgage clause, as appropriate, in favor of
Lender, (c) be underwritten by insurance
providers acceptable to Lender, and (d) provide
Lender at least thirty (30) days' prior notice
of cancellation, non-renewal or modification.
The policy or policies evidencing all insurance
required hereunder (or certificates of such
insurance) shall be delivered to and held by
Lender. Borrower shall pay premiums on such
insurance as they become due, and shall not
permit any condition to exist on or with
respect to the Property which would wholly or
partially invalidate any insurance. Borrower
currently maintains earthquake insurance
covering the Property, and shall continue to
maintain such insurance so long as it is
available at commercially reasonable rates or
Borrower is able to recoup the costs of such
insurance from tenants at the Property. All
insurance policies shall comply with the
insurance requirements set forth on Exhibit C
attached hereto. In addition, Borrower shall
file with Lender, from time to time upon
Lender's request, a detailed list of the
insurance then in effect and stating the names
of the insurance companies, the amounts and
rates of the insurance, deductibles and co-
insurance features, if any, dates of the
expiration thereof and the properties and risks
covered thereby.
Secti
on 6.4 Compliance with Law.
Borrower shall comply with all statutes, ordinances,
rules and regulations of Governmental Authorities
applicable to the Property, and Borrower shall obtain as
needed all licenses, permits and approvals of
Governmental Authorities necessary for Borrower's
operation of the Property and maintain such permits,
licenses and approvals in good standing.
Section 6.5 Inspection of Properties; Books and
Records.
Borrower shall permit any authorized representative
designated by Lender to visit and inspect any Property
upon reasonable prior notice, to inspect financial and
accounting records and Leases, and to make copies and
take extracts therefrom, all at such times during normal
business hours and as often as Lender may reasonably
request.
Section 6.6 Conduct of Business.
Borrower shall engage principally in the business of
direct ownership, operation and development of suburban
office and industrial properties of the general type
owned by Borrower as of the Closing Date in the Western
United States, and any other business activities of
Borrower will remain incidental thereto.
Section 6.7 Tenant Estoppel Certificates;
Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment
Agreements.
At Lender's request, from time to time, Borrower
shall exercise due diligence to obtain Tenant Estoppel
Certificates and/or Subordination, Nondisturbance and

Lender, with respect to any tenant of the Property
designated by Lender.
Section 6.8 Leases; Major Agreements.
Borrower shall at all times comply with all
obligations imposed upon it under all Leases and under
all other Major Agreements, and shall not enter into any
Major Agreement without Lender's prior written consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Borrower shall not enter into any Lease, whether or not
such Lease constitutes a Major Agreement, that does not
contain provisions pursuant to which the tenant
thereunder agrees to attorn to a mortgagee in the event
of a foreclosure, subject only to customary conditions.
Section 6.9 Chief Executive Office.
Borrower shall not relocate its place of business
(or, if Borrower has more than one place of business, its
chief executive office), except upon prior written notice
to Lender.
Section 6.10 Consolidations and Mergers.
Borrower shall not merge, consolidate with or into,
or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of
(whether in one transaction or a series of transactions)
all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned
or hereafter acquired) to or in favor of any person or
entity.
Section 6.11 State of Organization.
Borrower shall provide Lender with prior notice of
any change in Borrower's name, business structure, state
of organization, or the location of any Collateral for
the Loan.
Section 6.12 Security Deposits And Draws Under
Tenant Letter Of Credit.
(a) Upon Lender's request, Borrower shall
immediately deposit into the Tenant Security Account, all
security deposits under Leases, provided, however, that
all security deposits in excess of $50,000 shall be
deposited by Borrower into such account. Borrower's
assignment of leases and rents pursuant to the Deed of
Trust shall expressly include as additional security for
the Loan any lease guaranty, as well as each Tenant
Letter of Credit and all other security, which Borrower
receives in conjunction with a Lease. Additionally,
concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and
from time to time thereafter as Borrower receives new
Tenant Letters of Credit in excess of $50,000 (or, upon
Lender's request, all Tenant Letters of Credit), Borrower
shall (i) confirm assignment to Lender of Borrower's
rights to proceeds from draws under all Tenant Letters of
Credit as additional security for the Loan and (ii)
provide to Lender each original Tenant Letter of Credit
along with an executed transfer of beneficiary document
(provided, however, that such transfer document shall not
be presented to the issuer thereof except following a
foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure under the Deed
of Trust or a failure by Borrower to comply with the
requirements of subsection (c) or (d) below). Pursuant
to such assignment of proceeds, all draws under Tenant
Letters of Credit shall be deposited (upon payment by the
applicable issuing bank with respect to such Tenant
Letter of Credit) by Lender into the Tenant Security
Account. Any draws under Tenant Letters of Credit and
the tenant security deposits shall remain in the Tenant
Security Account pending disposition of such draws and/or
security deposits in a manner consistent with this
Agreement. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security
interest in said Tenant Security Account and all proceeds
thereof.
(b) Provided there is no Event of Default by
Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower may request a
withdrawal of funds from the Tenant Security Account for
application in respect of tenant defaults under the
applicable Lease and to cover any losses which Borrower
certifies in writing to Lender are recoverable from the
applicable tenant's Tenant Letter of Credit or security
deposit, and Lender shall disburse to Borrower from the
Tenant Security Account such requested amount.
(c) Borrower shall (i) promptly notify Lender
of any event or condition which permits a draw under a
Tenant Letter of Credit previously delivered to Lender,
(ii) provide to Lender a copy of the notice of Lease
default, as applicable, and (iii) in a timely manner
request a draw from the applicable issuing bank of such
Tenant Letter of Credit. Additionally, if an issuing
bank of such Tenant Letter of Credit notifies Borrower
that such issuing bank will not renew such Tenant Letter
of Credit (or if the applicable tenant has failed to
provide a replacement letter of credit not later than
sixty (60) days prior to the expiration thereof), then
Borrower shall (x) provide Lender prompt written notice
of such nonrenewal or failure, and (y) timely draw the
full amount under such Tenant Letter of Credit (with the
proceeds thereof to be deposited directly into the Tenant
Security Account). Borrower shall not amend or terminate
any such Tenant Letter of Credit without Lender's prior
approval.
(d) The procedures for a draw under a Tenant
Letter of Credit shall be as follows: No later than five
(5) Business Days following written notice of an event or
condition which permits a draw under a Tenant Letter of
Credit (with all documentation and certifications as
required by this Section 6.12) from Borrower pursuant to
subsection (c) above, Lender shall either (i) return the
relevant Tenant Letter of Credit to Borrower so that
Borrower can draw the full amount which may be drawn
thereunder when such credit may be drawn (and, in any
event not later than twenty (20) days prior to the
expiration thereof), or (ii) present such Tenant Letter
of Credit to the issuing bank directly, in which case
Borrower shall concurrently provide to such issuing bank
any required draw request or other documentation so that
the full amount which may be drawn thereunder is drawn,
in either such case with the proceeds of such draw to be
deposited (upon payment by the applicable issuing bank
with respect to such Tenant Letter of Credit) by Lender
into the Tenant Security Account. Immediately following
any partial draw by Borrower under such Tenant Letter of
Credit, Borrower shall return (or cause to be returned)
the original Tenant Letter of Credit to Lender to be held
in accordance with this Section 6.12. Borrower also
shall take such other actions consistent with the
foregoing as may reasonably be requested by Lender with
respect to such Tenant Letters of Credit.
(e) Upon satisfaction of the Loan in full, any
Tenant Letters of Credit or tenant security deposits held
by Lender shall be returned to Borrower. In addition,
following termination of any Lease, any Tenant Letters of
Credit or tenant security deposits held by Lender with
respect to such terminated Lease shall be returned to
Borrower to the extent that Borrower is obligated to
return same to tenant.
(f) Borrower hereby represents to and for the
benefit of Lender that nothing contained in this Section
6.12 conflicts with the terms of any Lease, provided,
however, that with respect to the letter of credit
provided by Quester Technology, Inc., in addition to the
requirements set forth in this Section 6.12, Lender's
rights and responsibilities with respect to such letter
of credit are further articulated and qualified by a Tri-
Party Agreement between Borrower, Lender and Quester
Technology, Inc., dated July 31, 1997, and modified by
letter agreement on January 31, 2001. In addition, the
indemnity provisions contained in Section 8.2 of this
Agreement shall apply to and include any claims against
Lender by tenants or issuers of Tenant Letters of Credit,
or by any person or entity on their behalf.
Section 6.13 Delivery of Additional Security;
Special Letters of Credit.
(a) Borrower shall deliver to Lender, not
later than October 31, 2002, two (2) irrevocable standby
letters of credit (each such letter of credit, a
"Special Letter of Credit"), one such letter of credit
with respect to the Property at 00000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx
in Fremont, California, and the other letter of credit
with respect to the Property at 47633 Westinghouse Drive
in Fremont, California, each naming Lender as
beneficiary, in form and substance and from an issuer
satisfactory to Lender and in an amount, agreed to by
Borrower and Lender, sufficient to cover the projected
re-tenanting and re-leasing cost associated with the two
aforementioned Properties, such Special Letters of Credit
to provide recourse support for the Loan, provided,
however, that the amount of such Special Letters of
Credit may be reduced from time to time, by agreement
between Borrower and Lender, after Borrower has provided
sufficient evidence to Lender as to actual re-tenanting
and/or re-leasing costs expended by Borrower with respect
to the aforementioned Properties. Without in any manner
limiting Lender's other remedies hereunder, Lender may
draw on such Special Letters of Credit at any time
following a Default hereunder and apply the proceeds
thereof against Borrower' obligations under the Loan
Documents. Such Special Letters of Credit shall be
returned to Borrower, if at all, in accordance with
subsection (b) below.
(b) Provided that no Event of Default or
Potential Event of Default then exists, at Borrower's
written request Lender shall return one or both of the
Special Letters of Credit to Borrower, upon Borrower's
delivery to Lender of satisfactory evidence of renewal or
releasing of the applicable Property, completion of and
payment for any relevant retenanting work, payment of any
applicable leasing commissions, and acceptance and
occupancy of such Property by the tenant along with
commencement of rent, all in accordance with Leases
approved by Lender pursuant to Section 6.8 below.

following written notice thereof from Lender to Borrower;
provided, however, that following the first occasion
during each year of the term of the Loan for which Lender
shall have given to Borrower such written notice of
Borrower's failure to pay any such amount when due and
payable, Borrower's failure to pay when due and payable
any such amount shall constitute an Event of Default
without the requirement of any notice from Lender.
(b) Other Covenants.
Borrower shall fail to perform any other covenant or
obligation to be performed by Borrower under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without
limitation, the Environmental Compliance Agreement, and
such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof from Lender to Borrower specifying

provided, however, that if (i) Lender determines in good
faith that such failure can be cured within ninety (90)
days, (ii) no lien or security interest created by the
Loan Documents will be impaired, and (iii) Borrower
diligently commences to cure such failure within thirty

thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure, such failure
shall not constitute an Event of Default unless it
continues for ninety (90) days after Lender's initial
notice.
(c) Representations and Warranties.
Any representation or warranty made by Borrower in
this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, or in any

which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute but
one and the same instrument. This Agreement and each of

VIII or better and shall be licensed to do business in
the state where the property is located.
3. MINIMUM COVERAGE. The amount of property
insurance coverage shall equal or exceed the Insurable
Value on a replacement cost basis, as such Insurable
Value may change from time to time.
4. MAXIMUM DEDUCTIBLE. The deductible shall not
exceed the lesser of $25,000 or 5% of the coverage

acceptable unless (i) the policy includes an Agreed
Value Endorsement or (ii) the amount calculated under
the co-insurance formula exceeds the Insurable Value.
6. ACCEPTABLE EVIDENCE OF PROPERTY INSURANCE. Evidence
of property insurance shall be presented on XXXXX
form 27, a Declarations Page, or an equivalent form
that confers rights on the Certificate Holder.
XXXXX Form 75-S is acceptable only for loans less
than $1,000,000 (unless attached to XXXXX "Cover
Note") and must be replaced prior to expiration by

XXXXX forms 24 and 25S are not acceptable as
evidence of property insurance. Evidence of
property insurance shall include the loan number, if
any, indicated below.
7. NAMED INSURED. All policies shall name Borrower as
Insured. Property insurance policies shall name
UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, N.A., ITS SUCCESSORS AND/OR ASSIGNS

13. CHANGES TO INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. From time to
time, Lender may require insurance against other
hazards, as such hazards are commonly insured
against by reasonably prudent business persons
operating properties of similar construction,
configuration and location, or as such insurance
is required by law. These insurance requirements
may be modified or amended by Lender in its sole
discretion. Upon expiration of any existing
policy, a replacement policy meeting such modified
or amended insurance requirements shall be
provided.
14. OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN COVERAGE. It is the
obligation of Borrower to keep required insurance

evidence of insurance to Lender. Failure to do so
constitutes a default under the terms of the deed
of trust securing the loan. At renewal, evidence
of insurance shall be received by Lender at least
thirty (30) days before existing coverage expires.
If acceptable coverage is not received by Lender
within thirty (30) days of the expiration of
existing coverage, Lender may place interim
coverage to protect its security interest at
Borrower's expense. Interim insurance may be
considerably more expensive than coverage
purchased by Borrower. Such interim insurance
will not protect the interest of Borrower. Lender
shall not be liable for any loss incurred by
Borrower as a result of failure to maintain
adequate coverage.
Borrower will instruct the insurance agent for such
insurance to provide Lender with proof of insurance in
the form of a policy or certificate of insurance,
including the endorsements set forth above, to be
delivered to the following address:

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on November 19, 2004 ("Maturity Date"),
as such date may be extended by Section 2.9 of the Loan
Agreement, the undersigned ("Debtor") promises to pay to the
order of UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, N.A. ("Bank"), as indicated
below, the principal sum of Twenty-One Million Eight Hundred
Nineteen Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($21,819,000.00), or
if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all
disbursements made by Bank pursuant to the Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement dated concurrently herewith, between
Debtor and Bank ("Loan Agreement"), together with interest on
the unpaid balance of such principal amount, at the per annum
rate or rates and at the times set forth below. This Amended
and Restated Promissory Note Secured by Deeds of Trust
("Note") fully amends, supercedes and restates the Promissory
Note Secured by Deed of Trust executed by Debtor for the
benefit of Bank dated December 24, 1996 (the "Original
Note"), and outstanding obligations of Debtor under the
Original Note shall be deemed outstanding for all purposes
under this Note. Upon delivery of this Note, the Original
Note shall be conspicuously marked to reflect that it has been
amended and restated, in its entirety, by this Note. (Unless
otherwise defined in Paragraph 8 below or elsewhere herein,
capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the meanings
given to them in the Loan Agreement.)
1. PAYMENTS.
a. PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS.
i. INITIAL TERM.
A. During the first year of the initial term
of the Loan (from the Closing Date until
November 19, 2002), Debtor shall pay
principal in installments of $44,769.60
each on the first day of each month
commencing December 1, 2001;
B. During the second year of the initial term
of the Loan (from November 19, 2002 until
November 19, 2003), Debtor shall pay
principal in installments of $46,476.76
each on the first day of each month
commencing December 1, 2002; and
C. During the third year of the initial term
of the Loan (from November 19, 2003 until
the Maturity Date), Debtor shall pay
principal in installments of $48,249.01
each on the first day of each month
commencing December 1, 2003.
Notwithstanding the required principal
amortization payments set forth above, any
outstanding principal balance under the Note on
the Maturity Date shall be due and payable on
the Maturity Date.
ii. EXTENSION TERM. If Debtor exercises the
Extension Option set forth in Section 2.9 of
the Loan Agreement, then on the original
Maturity Date Lender will determine
amortization due during the extension period
and calculate such amortization payments so
that during the extension period Debtor shall
be required to pay to Bank principal
amortization payments as follows:
A. During the first year of the extension
term of the Loan (from the original
Maturity Date until November 19, 2005)
("Extension Year One"), Debtor shall pay,
on the first day of each month commencing
December 1, 2004, principal payments each
in an equal amount that, in the aggregate,
equate to the principal amortization that
would be due under the Loan during
Extension Year One based on a calculation
of total principal amortization that would
be due under the Loan during the time
period from the Maturity Date to the
Extended Maturity Date under a 22-year
amortization schedule of equal monthly
payments of principal and interest using a
rate equal to the Fixed Rate (using a 360-
day Fixed Rate Period) in effect at the
original Maturity Date; and
B. During the second year of the extension
term of the Loan (from the November 19,
2005 until the Extended Maturity Date)
("Extension Year Two"), Debtor shall pay,
on the first day of each month commencing
December 1, 2005, principal payments each
in an equal amount that, in the aggregate,
equate to the principal amortization that
would be due under the Loan during
Extension Year Two based on a calculation
of total principal amortization that would
be due under the Loan during the time
period from November 19, 2005 to the
Extended Maturity Date under a 22-year
amortization schedule of equal monthly
payments of principal and interest using a
rate equal to the Fixed Rate (using a 360-
day Fixed Rate Period) in effect at the
original Maturity Date.
Notwithstanding the required principal
amortization payments set forth above, any
outstanding principal balance under the Note on
the applicable Extended Maturity Date shall be
due and payable on such Extended Maturity Date.
b. INTEREST PAYMENTS. Debtor shall pay to Bank accrued
interest on the outstanding principal amount of the
disbursements made by Bank to Debtor under the Loan
Agreement on the first day of each month commencing
December 1, 2001, and on the Maturity Date. If
interest shall not be paid when due, it shall become
part of the principal and bear interest as herein
provided. All computations of interest under this
Note shall be made on the basis of a year of 360
days, for actual days elapsed. If any interest rate
defined in this Note ceases to be available from
Bank for any reason, then such interest rate shall
be replaced by the rate then offered by Bank, which,
in the sole discretion of Bank, most closely
approximates the unavailable rate. Interest shall
be payable at the following applicable rate(s),
subject to Paragraph 3 below:
i. LIBOR BASED INTEREST RATE. At Debtor's option,
amounts outstanding hereunder in minimum
amounts of at least $500,000 and increments of
at least $100,000 shall bear interest at a rate
("Fixed Rate") which is one and sixty one-
hundredths percent (1.60%) per annum in excess
of Bank's LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period
selected by Debtor.
Any Fixed Rate may not be changed, altered or
otherwise modified until the expiration of the
Interest Period selected by Debtor. The
exercise of such interest rate option by Debtor
shall be as recorded in Bank's records, which
records shall be prima facie evidence of the
amount borrowed under such interest rate option
and the interest rate; provided, however, that
the failure of Bank to make any such notation
in its records shall not discharge Debtor from
its obligations to repay in full with interest
all amounts borrowed. In no event shall any
Interest Period extend beyond the then Maturity
Date.
To select a Fixed Rate, Debtor may, from time
to time with respect to principal outstanding
on which a Fixed Rate is not accruing, and on
the expiration of any Interest Period with
respect to principal outstanding on which a
Fixed Rate has been accruing, select an
interest rate and an Interest Period by
telephoning an authorized lending officer of
Bank located at the banking office identified
below prior to 10:00 a.m., Pacific time, on any
Business Day and advising that officer of the
Interest Period and the Fixed Rate Commencement
Date selected (which Fixed Rate Commencement
Date shall follow the date of such selection by
no more than two (2) Business Days).
In no event shall Debtor be entitled to select
a Fixed Rate if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. In addition, no
more than five (5) Fixed Rate Components may be
outstanding under this Note at any one time.
Further, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this paragraph, Debtor
shall not be entitled to select a Fixed Rate
with respect to any portion of the outstanding
principal balance of this Note which Debtor is
obligated to repay to Bank prior to the
expiration of the Interest Period for such
Fixed Rate.
Bank will mail a confirmation of the terms of
the selection to Debtor promptly after the
selection is made. Agent's failure to send
such confirmation shall not affect Bank's
rights to collect interest at the rate
selected. If, on the date of the selection,
the Fixed Rate selected is unavailable for any
reason, the selection shall be void. Banks
reserve the right to fund the principal from
any source of funds notwithstanding any Fixed
Rate selected by Debtor.
ii. VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. All principal
outstanding hereunder which is not bearing
interest at a Fixed Rate shall bear interest at
a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate,
which rate shall vary as and when the Reference
Rate changes.
c. PAYMENT MECHANICS. Debtor shall pay all amounts due
under this Note in lawful money of the United States
at Bank's Monterey Park, California, Office, or such
other office as may be designated by Bank from time
to time. Payments received by Bank under this Note
shall first be applied to accrued and unpaid
interest then due and owing hereunder, and
thereafter to the repayment of principal.
2. LATE PAYMENTS. If any payment required by the terms of
this Note shall remain unpaid ten days after same is
due, at the option of Bank, Debtor shall pay to Bank
a late payment fee of five percent (5%) of the
amount unpaid.
3. INTEREST RATE FOLLOWING DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, at the option of Bank and to
the extent permitted by law, interest shall be payable
on the outstanding principal under this Note at a per
annum rate equal to five percent (5%) in excess of the
applicable interest rate specified in Paragraph 1
above, calculated from the date of the occurrence of
such Event of Default until all amounts payable under
this Note are paid in full.
4. PREPAYMENT; INTEREST RATE ADJUSTMENT PREMIUM.
a. Except as provided in this Paragraph 4 or as limited
by Section 2.6(b) of the Loan Agreement, amounts
outstanding under this Note may be prepaid in whole
or in part at any time without penalty or premium.
Debtor may prepay amounts outstanding under this
Note bearing interest at a Fixed Rate, in whole or
in part, provided Debtor has given Bank not less
than five (5) Business Days' prior written notice of
Debtor's intention to make such prepayment and
Debtor pays to Bank the prepayment fee due as a
result ("Interest Rate Adjustment Premium"). The
Interest Rate Adjustment Premium shall also be due
if Bank, for any other reason, including
acceleration or foreclosure, receives all or any
portion of principal bearing interest at a Fixed
Rate prior to the Fixed Rate Maturity Date. The
Interest Rate Adjustment Premium shall be an amount
equal to the present value of the product of: (i)
the difference (but not less than zero) between (a)
the Fixed Rate applicable to the principal amount
which is being prepaid, and (b) the return which
Bank could obtain if it used the amount of such
prepayment of principal to purchase at bid price
regularly quoted securities issued by the United
States having a maturity date most closely
coinciding with the relevant Fixed Rate Maturity
Date and such securities were held by Bank until the
relevant Fixed Rate Maturity Date ("Yield Rate");
(ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days in the period between the date of
prepayment and the relevant Fixed Rate Maturity Date
and the denominator of which is 360; and (iii) the
amount of the principal so prepaid. Present value
under this Note is determined by discounting the
above product to present value using the Yield Rate
as the annual discount factor.
b. In no event shall Bank be obligated to make any
payment or refund to Debtor, nor shall Debtor be
entitled to any setoff or other claim against Bank,
should the return which Bank could obtain under the
above prepayment formula exceed the interest that
Bank would have received if no prepayment had
occurred. All prepayments shall include payment of
accrued interest on the principal amount so prepaid
and shall be applied to payment of interest before
application to principal. A determination by Bank
as to the Interest Rate Adjustment Premium amount,
if any, shall be conclusive. In the event of
partial prepayment, such prepayments shall be
applied to principal payments in sequential order,
beginning with the next maturing Fixed Rate
Component and ending with the last Maturing Fixed
Rate Component.
c. Bank shall provide Debtor a statement of the amount
payable on account of prepayment. Debtor
acknowledges that (i) Bank provides for a Fixed Rate
upon the understanding that it apply to the Fixed
Rate Component for the entire Interest Period, and
(ii) Bank would not lend to Debtor without Debtor's
express agreement to pay Bank the Interest Rate
Adjustment Premium described above.
d. The Interest Rate Adjustment Premium shall also be
payable if prepayment occurs as the result of the
acceleration of the principal of this Note by Bank
because of any Event of Default. If, following such
acceleration, all or any portion of a Fixed Rate
Component is satisfied, whether through sale of
property encumbered by any security agreement or
other agreement securing this Note, at a foreclosure
sale held thereunder or through the tender of
payment at any time following such acceleration, but
prior to such a foreclosure sale, then such
satisfaction shall be deemed an evasion of the
prepayment conditions set forth above, and Bank
shall, automatically and without notice or demand,
be entitled to receive, concurrently with such
satisfaction the Interest Rate Adjustment Premium
set forth above, and the amount of such Interest
Rate Adjustment Premium shall be added to the
principal. DEBTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT BANK WOULD NOT MAKE THE LOAN TO DEBTOR
EVIDENCED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THIS NOTE WITHOUT
DEBTOR'S AGREEMENT, AS SET FORTH ABOVE, TO PAY BANK
A INTEREST RATE ADJUSTMENT PREMIUM UPON THE
SATISFACTION OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PRINCIPAL
BEARING INTEREST AT A FIXED RATE FOLLOWING THE
ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE HEREOF BY REASON
OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. DEBTOR HAS CAUSED THOSE
PERSONS SIGNING THIS NOTE ON ITS BEHALF TO
SEPARATELY INITIAL THE AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN THIS
PARAGRAPH BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW:
INITIALS: ____________________
5. DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION OF TIME FOR PAYMENT. For the
purposes of this Note, the term "Event of Default" shall
mean any of the following: (a) the failure of Debtor to make
any payment required under this Note when due; or (b) the
occurrence of any other "Event of Default" or "Default"
as defined in the Loan Agreement or the other Loan
Documents. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank
shall be entitled to declare all obligations under this Note
immediately due and payable, and to exercise all rights and
remedies provided for in the Loan Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, provided, however, that upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(d) or Section
7.1(e) of the Loan Agreement, all principal and interest
shall automatically become immediately due and payable
6. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF DEBTOR. If any amounts owing
under this Note are not paid when due, Debtor promises to
pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees
(including the allocated costs of Bank's in-house counsel
and legal staff), incurred by Bank in the collection or
enforcement of this Note. Debtor and any endorsers of
this Note, for the maximum period of time and the full
extent permitted by law, (a) waive diligence,
presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest,
notice of protest, and notice of every kind; (b) waive
the right to assert the defense of any statute of
limitations to any debt or obligation hereunder; and (c)
consent to renewals and extensions of time for the
payment of any amounts due under this Note. If this Note
is signed by more than one party, the term "Debtor"
includes each of the undersigned and any successors in
interest thereof; all of whose liability shall be joint
and several. Any married person who signs this Note
agrees that recourse may be had against the separate
property of that person for any obligations hereunder.
The receipt of any check or other item of payment by
Bank, at its option, shall not be considered a payment on
account until such check or other item of payment is
honored when presented for payment at the drawee bank.
Bank may delay the credit of such payment based upon
Bank's schedule of funds availability, and interest under
this Note shall accrue until the funds are deemed
collected. In any action brought under or arising out of
this Note, Debtor and any other Loan Party, including
their successors and assigns, hereby consent to the
jurisdiction of any competent court within the State of
California, except as provided in any alternative dispute
resolution agreement executed between Debtor and Bank,
and consent to service of process by any means authorized
by said state's law. The term "Bank" includes, without
limitation, any holder of this Note. This Note shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of
the State of California. This Note hereby incorporates
any alternative dispute resolution agreement previously,
concurrently or hereafter executed between Debtor and
Bank. The deeds of trust securing this Note permits the
Bank to declare all obligations hereunder immediately due
and payable upon breach of the following provision:
"Trustor shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, convey,
assign, further encumber, transfer, alienate or otherwise
dispose of the real property encumbered by such deed of
trust or any part thereof or any interest therein,
whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law
or otherwise, or lease all or any portion thereof or an
undivided interest therein, or enter into an agreement to
do so, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary,
except as otherwise permitted by the Loan Agreement."
6. LIMITATION OF DEBTOR'S LIABILITY. Bank's recovery against
Debtor under the Loan Documents shall be limited solely
to the Collateral (including all rents, issues, profits
and income therefrom and proceeds thereof) and the
Special Letters of Credit given to Bank as security for
Debtor's performance under the Loan Documents, and such
recovery shall not be a lien, or the basis of a claim of
lien or levy of execution, against the general assets of
Debtor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Debtor and the
general assets of Debtor shall be fully and personally
liable to Bank to the same extent that Debtor would be
liable absent the foregoing limitation of this paragraph
for the following:
a. fraud, willful misrepresentation, gross negligence
or waste, to the full extent of Bank's loss
attributable thereto;
b. failure to pay taxes, assessments or other charges
attributable to Debtor which can create liens on any
portion of the Collateral senior in priority to the
lien of the Deed of Trust encumbering the affected
Collateral, including mechanic's liens, stop notices
or contractor's liens (to the full extent of any
such taxes, assessments or other charges);
c. any loss which would have been covered by any policy
of insurance that Debtor is required to maintain,
but failed to maintain, under the Loan Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents;
d. tenant security deposits held by Debtor upon
foreclosure of the subject Property;
e. any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or
warranty pertaining to any Hazardous Substance or
any failure in the due, prompt and complete
observance and performance of any covenant or any
other obligation imposed upon Debtor under or
pursuant to the Environmental Compliance Agreement;
f. retention of any rents or other income, insurance
proceeds, condemnation or eminent domain awards or
other similar funds or payments attributable to any
Collateral which, under the terms of any Loan
Document, should have been paid to Bank;
g. the full amount of the Loan and all other
obligations evidenced or secured by the Loan
Documents, in the event of any transfer of all or
any part of the Property without Bank's prior
written approval; or
h. all costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees) incurred by Bank in
enforcing its rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents subsequent to any of the following: (i)
an Event of Default under Section 7.1(e) of the Loan
Agreement; (ii) an Event of Default under
Section 7.1(d) of the Loan Agreement if the filing
is made against Debtor by any third party which was
solicited or induced to do so by Debtor; or (iii)
after the occurrence of any Event of Default under
either Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.1(e) of the Loan
Agreement: (A) any objection by Debtor to (1) any
request by Bank for the dismissal of any proceeding
referred to in Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.1(e) of
the Loan Agreement; (2) any attempt by Bank to
obtain relief from the automatic stay; or (3) any
attempt by Bank to secure the continuation of any
receiver appointed pre-petition or to obtain
control, directly or through a receiver, of the
rents, issues and profits of any Property; (B) any

7. DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall
have the meanings respectively set forth below:
a. "Business Day" shall mean a day which is not a
Saturday or Sunday on which Bank is open for
business in the state identified in Paragraph 6
above, and on which dealings in U.S. dollar
deposits outside of the United States may be
carried on by Bank.
b. "Fixed Rate Commencement Date" shall means the
first day of the Interest Period with respect to
principal outstanding under a Fixed Rate
Component.
c. "Fixed Rate Component" shall mean amounts
outstanding under this Note that bear interest at
a Fixed Rate.
d. "Fixed Rate Maturity Date" shall mean the last day
of the Interest Period with respect to principal
outstanding under a Fixed Rate Component.
e. "Interest Period" shall mean any calendar period
of one, two, three, six or twelve months. In
determining an Interest Period, a month means a
period that starts on one Business Day in a month
and ends on and includes the day preceding the
numerically corresponding day in the next month.
For any month in which there is no such
numerically corresponding day, then as to that
month, such day shall be deemed to be the last
calendar day of such month. Any Interest Period
which would otherwise end on a non-Business Day
shall end on the next succeeding Business Day
unless that is the first day of a month, in which
event such Interest Period shall end on the next
preceding Business Day.
f. "LIBOR Rate" shall mean a per annum rate of
interest (rounded upward, if necessary, to the
nearest 1/100 of 1%) at which dollar deposits, in
immediately available funds and in lawful money of
the United States would be offered to Bank,
outside of the United States, for a term
coinciding with the Interest Period selected by
Debtor and for an amount equal to the amount of
principal covered by Debtor's interest rate
selection, plus Bank's costs, including the cost,
if any, of reserve requirements.
g. "Reference Rate" shall mean the rate announced by
Bank from time to time at its corporate
headquarters as its "Reference Rate." The
Reference Rate is an index rate determined by Bank
from time to time as a means of pricing certain
extensions of credit and is neither directly tied
to any external rate of interest or index nor
necessarily the lowest rate of interest charged by
Bank at any given time.
