DEFINITIONS:
As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set
forth after each, and any other term defined in this Note shall
have the meaning set forth at the place defined:
(a) "Business Day"
means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which
commercial banks in California are authorized or required by law to
close.
(b) "Fixed Rate
Term" means a period of one (1) month during which the entire
outstanding principal balance of this Note bears interest
determined in relation to LIBOR, with the understanding that:
(i) the
initial Fixed Rate Term shall commence on the date this Note is
disbursed and shall continue up to, but shall not include, December
1, 2008;
(ii) thereafter each
Fixed Rate Term shall commence automatically, without notice to or
consent from Borrower, on the 1st day of each month and shall
continue up to, but shall not include, the 1st day of the
immediately following month: and
(iii) if, on the first
day of the last Fixed Rate Term applicable hereto the remaining
term of this Note is less than one (1) month, said Fixed Rate Term
shall be in effect only until the scheduled maturity date
hereof.
If any Fixed Rate Term is scheduled to commence on a day which is
not a Business Day, then such Fixed Rate Term shall commence on the
next succeeding Business Day.
(c) "LIBOR" means
the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the
nearest 1/8 of 1%) and determined pursuant to the following
formula:
|
LIBOR =

|
|
|
100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage
|
(i)
"Base LIBOR" means the rate per annum for United States dollar
deposits
quoted by Bank as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the
understanding that such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of
calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference
thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate Term for delivery of
funds on said date for a period of time approximately equal to the
number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount
approximately equal to the principal amount to which such Fixed
Rate Term applies. Borrower understands and agrees that Bank may
base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such
offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as Bank
in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited to,
the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank
Market.
(ii) "LIBOR Reserve
Percentage" means the reserve percentage prescribed
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any
successor) for "Eurocurrency Liabilities" (as defined in Regulation
D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for
expected changes in such reserve percentage during the applicable
Fixed Rate Term.
(d) "Prime Rate"
means at any time the rate of interest most recently announced
within Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate, with the
understanding that the Prime Rate is one of Bank's base rates and
serves as the basis upon which effective rates of interest are
calculated for those loans making reference thereto, and is
evidenced by the recording thereof after its announcement in such
internal publication or publications as Bank may designate.
INTEREST:
(a)
Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear
interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days
elapsed) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be two and
one half percent (2.50%) above LIBOR in effect on the first day of
each Fixed Rate Term. With respect to each Fixed Rate Term
hereunder, Bank is hereby authorized to note the date and interest
rate applicable thereto and any payments made thereon on Bank's
books and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or
on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be
prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted.
(b)
Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank
immediately upon demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to
become due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings, interest
equalization taxes, stamp taxes o
