ARTICLE XI

STATE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

Borrower hereby expressly (a) waives any right it may have under California Civil Code Section 2954.10 to prepay this Note in whole or in part, without prepayment premium or penalty, upon acceleration of the Maturity Date pursuant to the Loan Documents; and (b) agrees that if a prepayment of all or any portion of this Note is made, following the acceleration of the Maturity Date by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents on account of a transfer, sale, assignment, or other disposition prohibited or restricted by the Loan Documents, Borrower shall be obligated to pay, concurrently therewith, the Required Yield Maintenance Premium. By initialing this provision in the space provided below, Borrower hereby declares that Lender’s agreement to make the Loan pursuant to the Loan Documents at the interest rate and other monetary payment terms set forth in the Loan Documents constitutes adequate consideration, given individual weight by the undersigned, for the waiver and agreement contained in this Article 11.
