5 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, or any instrument securing the obligations of the Borrower under this Note, if, for any reason whatsoever, the payment of any sums by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Note would result in the payment of interest which would exceed the amount that the Holder may legally charge under the laws of the State of California, then the amount by which payments exceed the lawful interest rate shall automatically be deducted from the principal balance owing on this Note, so that in no event shall the Borrower be obligated under the terms of this Note to pay any interest which would exceed the lawful rate.

7. Default.
(a) The entire unpaid principal balance, together with all interest thereon, and together with all other sums payable under this Note, shall at the option of the Holder become immediately due and payable without further demand, upon occurrence of:
(i) Any failure of Borrower to pay, in full, any payment required under this Note within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Holder that such payment is due;
(ii) Any failure in the performance by the Borrower of any term, condition, provision or covenant set forth in this Note within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Holder of any failure to perform;
(iii) The occurrence of any event of default under any of the Loan Documents, or other instrument securing the obligations of the Borrower under this Note or under any other promissory notes hereafter issued by the Borrower to the Holder pursuant to the Deed of Trust, subject to notice and cure periods, if any, set forth therein.

6 (b) The Holder's failure to exercise the remedy set forth in Subsection 7(a) above or any other remedy provided by law upon the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing events of default described in subsections (i) through (iii) above, will not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any remedy at any subsequent time in respect to the same or any other default. The acceptance by the Holder hereof of any payment which is less than the total of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment will not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of the foregoing remedies or options at that time or at any subsequent time, or nullify any prior exercise of any such remedy or option, without the express consent of the Holder, except as and to the extent otherwise provided by law.
8. Waivers.
(a) The Borrower hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest and demand, and notice of protest, notice of demand, notice of dishonor and notice of non-payment of this Note. The Borrower expressly agrees that this Note or any payment hereunder may be extended from time to time, and that the Holder may accept further security or release any security for this Note, all without in any way affecting the liability of the Borrower. (b) No extension of time for payment of this Note or any installment hereof made by agreement of Holder with any person now or hereafter liable for payment of this Note will operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Borrower under this Note, either in whole or in part.
(c) The obligations of the Borrower under this Note shall be absolute and the Borrower waives any and all rights to offset, deduct or withhold any payments or charges due under this Note for any reason whatsoever.
