This Note is secured by the Property, as defined in the Deed of Trust, and all guarantees, security agreements and other agreements, documents and instruments now or at any time hereafter executed and/or delivered by Debtor or any other party in connection therewith (all of the foregoing, together with the Loan Agreement, as the same now exist or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, renewed, extended, restated or replaced, being collectively referred to herein as the “Financing Agreements”), and Payee is entitled to all of the benefits and rights thereof and of the other Financing Agreements.

Debtor may prepay this Note at any time, in whole or in part, without any premium, penalty, fee, charge or other cost or expense of any kind whatsoever.

If any payment of principal or interest is not made when due hereunder, or if any other Event of Default shall occur for any reason, or if the Loan Agreement shall be terminated or not renewed for any reason whatsoever, then and in any such event, in addition to all rights and remedies of Payee under the Financing Agreements, applicable law or otherwise, all such rights and remedies being cumulative, not exclusive, and enforceable alternatively, successively and concurrently, Payee may, at its option, declare any or all of Debtor’s obligations, liabilities and indebtedness owing to Payee under the Loan Agreement and the other Financing Agreements (the “Obligations”), including, without limitation, all amounts owing under this Note, to be due and payable, whereupon the then unpaid balance hereof, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall forthwith become due and payable, together with interest accruing thereafter at the then applicable Interest Rate stated above until the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is paid in full, plus the costs and expenses of collection hereof, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses actually incurred.

Debtor (a) waives diligence, demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind, (b) agrees that it will not be necessary for Payee to first institute suit in order to enforce payment of this Note and (c) consents to any one or more extensions or postponements of time of payment, release, surrender or substitution of collateral security, or forbearance or other indulgence, without notice or consent. Upon any Event of Default or termination or non‑renewal of the Loan Agreement, Payee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to setoff against this Note all money owed by Payee to Debtor.

Payee shall not be required to resort to the Property, as defined in the Deed of Trust, or any Collateral for payment, but may proceed against Debtor and any guarantors or endorsers hereof in such order and manner as Payee may choose. None of the rights of Payee shall be waived or diminished by any failure or delay in the exercise thereof.

any action or proceeding against Debtor or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Payee deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Property, as defined in the Deed of Trust, or Collateral or to otherwise enforce its rights against Debtor or its property).

Debtor hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to it and service so made shall be deemed to be completed upon delivery to Debtor, or, at Payee’s option, by service upon Debtor in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts.

DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS NOTE OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS BETWEEN DEBTOR AND PAYEE IN RESPECT OF THIS NOTE OR THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.
