3.2           Acceleration of Principal and Interest.  Upon occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been cured within thirty (30) days from the date of written notice by Payee, Payee may, at Payee’s option and without notice, declare all Principal and interest due under this Note to be due and payable immediately.  Payee may waive any default before or after it occurs and may restore this Note in full effect without impairing the right to declare it due for a subsequent default.

 

4.             General Provisions.

 

4.1           Notices.  All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed telex, facsimile or electronic transmission (including e-mail) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day; (iii) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.  All communications shall be sent to the address as set forth on the signature page hereof or at such other address as such party may designate by ten days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.

 

4.2           Severability; Headings.  In case any provision of this Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be effected or impaired thereby, unless to do so would deprive Payee or Maker of a substantial part of its bargain.  All headings used herein are used for convenience only and shall not be used to construe or interpret this Note.

 

4.3           Entire Agreement; Change.  This Note contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto superseding and replacing any prior agreement or understanding relating to the subject matter hereof.  Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

 

4.4           Law Governing. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof.  The parties agree that any action brought by either party to interpret or enforce any provision of this Agreement shall be brought in, and each party agrees to, and does hereby, submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of, the appropriate state or federal courts located in San Diego, California.

 

4.5           Counterparts.  This Note may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of the signature page to this Note by facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Note; provided, however, that any party so delivering an executed counterpart by facsimile shall thereafter promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Note to the other parties, but failure to deliver such manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability and binding effect of this Note.
