1.          Interest. Interest shall accrue on all principal amount outstanding on this Note from the date hereof until the payment in full of all outstanding principal, interest and costs and expenses payable on, this Note at the rate of 6 percent per annum prior to any Event of Default, provided that in no event shall the interest rate be higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year comprising twelve 30-day months.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all outstanding principal and interest shall become due and payable on the date, if any, on which the principal amount, or part thereof, of this note is accelerated. Costs and expenses such as may become payable hereunder are payable at the earlier of (i) demand of the Payee; or (ii) the date of any acceleration under paragraph 2. All payments hereunder are payable by wire transfer to any United States bank account, in which case as the Payee entitled to such payment may designate from time to time to the Makers. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder would otherwise become due on a date which is not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), the payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest with respect to such payment. “Business Day” means any day on which banks in the City of Los Angeles, California are generally open for business.

 

All payments hereunder, regardless of the basis for calculating the amount thereof, shall be credited; FIRST, against all costs and expenses of enforcement, if any, described in paragraph 4 hereof or otherwise, SECOND, against all past due interest then due; THIRD, against all other interest then due; and FOURTH, against outstanding principal. This Note may be prepaid in whole at any time.

The Makers shall notify the Payee immediately in writing of the occurrence of any Event of Default, which notification shall include a summary of the material facts relating to such Event of Default and shall specify the date on which such Event of Default occurred.

No act, failure or delay by the Payee of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this note. No act, failure or delay by the Payee shall constitute a waiver by the Payee of its rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No single or partial waiver by the Payee of any default or right or remedy that it may have shall operate as a waiver of any other default, right or remedy or of the same default, right or remedy on a future occasion. The Makers waive to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law presentment, notice of dishonor and protest, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration of all instruments included in or evidencing any of the obligations under this note, and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever.
