Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Property Acquisition

On September 23, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired a fee simple interest in a multi-tenant necessity retail center located in Hesperia, California commonly known as Topaz Marketplace (the “Topaz Property”) through TNP SRT Topaz Marketplace, LLC (“TNP SRT Topaz”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of TNP Strategic Retail Operating Partnership, LP, the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), pursuant to a Real Estate Purchase Agreement and Escrow Instructions, dated as of April 29, 2011, by and between TNP SRT Topaz and Hesperia – Main Street, LLC, a third party seller.

TNP SRT Topaz acquired the Topaz Property for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $13,500,000, exclusive of closing costs and certain fees payable to the seller, or approximately $268 per square foot. TNP SRT Topaz financed the payment of the purchase price for the Topaz Property with (1) proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering and (2) approximately $8,000,000 in funds borrowed under the Company’s existing revolving credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”). For additional information on the terms of the funds borrowed under the Credit Agreement, see Item 2.03 below. An acquisition fee of approximately $337,500 is due and payable to the Company’s external advisor, TNP Strategic Retail Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”), in connection with the acquisition of the Topaz Property.

The Topaz Property was constructed in 2008, is situated on approximately 6.09 acres of land and is comprised of approximately 50,359 square feet of leasable area and a 2,900 square foot fully improved developable pad site that may be ground leased or developed in the future. The Topaz Property was 100% leased as of the Closing Date and is anchored by a Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market, the U.S. division of TESCO (“Fresh & Easy”), a supermarket chain with stores throughout the Western United States. Fresh & Easy is the largest tenant at the Topaz Property, occupying approximately 14,009 square feet, or approximately 28% of the rentable square feet at the Topaz Property. Other significant tenants at the Topaz Property include Wood Fire Grill Buffet, Pizza Factory, American General Financial Services, DaVita Dialysis and Metro PCS.

Management of Property

In connection with the closing of the acquisition of the Topaz Property, TNP SRT Topaz and TNP Property Manager, LLC (the “Property Manager”), an affiliate of the Company, entered into a Property and Asset Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”), pursuant to which TNP SRT Topaz engaged the Property Manager to supervise, manage, lease, operate and maintain the Topaz Property. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, TNP SRT Topaz will pay the Property Manager an annual management fee (the “Management Fee”), payable in monthly installments, equal to 5.0% of Gross Revenue (as defined in the Management Agreement). In addition, upon a sale of the Topaz Property, TNP SRT Topaz will pay the Property Manager an amount equal to one monthly installment of the Management Fee as compensation for work to be performed by the Property Manager in connection with the sale and/or completion of managing matters relating to the tenants of the Topaz Property.

The material terms of the Management Agreement described herein are qualified in their entirety by the Management Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.


Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

Topaz Property Loan

TNP SRT Topaz financed the payment of a portion of the purchase price for the Topaz Property with the proceeds of an advance in the original principal amount of $8,000,000 (the “Topaz Loan”) under the Credit Agreement. The Topaz Loan is designated as a borrowing under the A tranche of the Credit Agreement and bears interest at a variable rate of 5.5% per annum pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Subject to certain earlier repayments of amounts borrowed pursuant to the Temporary Increase (as defined below), the entire unpaid principal balance of the Topaz Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon is due and payable in full on December 17, 2013, subject to extension to December 17, 2014 pursuant to the terms of Credit Agreement.

TNP SRT Topaz entered into a Joinder Agreement with KeyBank whereby TNP SRT Topaz agreed to become a party to the Credit Agreement as a Borrower (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and absolutely and irrevocably agreed to assume, on a joint and several basis with each other Borrower, all of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement. TNP SRT Topaz also entered into a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing made for the benefit of KeyBank with respect to the Topaz Property for purposes of securing the Borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Topaz Loan, the Company, the Operating Partnership, TNP SRT Secured Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership (“TNP SRT Holdings”), and TNP SRT Moreno Marketplace, LLC (“TNP SRT Moreno”), TNP SRT San Jacinto, LLC (“TNP SRT San Jacinto”), TNP SRT Craig Promenade, LLC (“TNP SRT Craig Promenade”), TNP SRT Northgate Plaza Tucson, LLC (“TNP SRT Northgate”), TNP SRT Pinehurst East, LLC (“TNP SRT Pinehurst”) and TNP SRT Topaz, each a wholly owned subsidiary of TNP SRT Holdings (collectively, the “Indemnitors”), entered into an Environmental and Hazardous Substances Indemnity Agreement (the “Environmental Indemnity”), pursuant to which the Indemnitors have agreed, on a joint and several basis, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless KeyBank, each lender under the Credit Agreement and each of their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any damages, losses, liabilities, claims, suits, costs or expenses of any kind that the Indemnified Parties may incur as a result of or arising directly or indirectly from or out of, among other things, (1) the release or threatened release of certain hazardous substances or wastes on, in, under or affecting the Topaz Property or emanating from the Topaz Property, (2) any material violation of any environmental laws applicable to the Topaz Property or TNP SRT Topaz, (3) any failure of TNP SRT Topaz to comply with the terms and conditions of the Environmental Indemnity in all material respects, and (4) the enforcement of the Environmental Indemnity.

The Fourth Omnibus Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to increase the maximum aggregate commitment of KeyBank under the Credit Agreement from $38 million to $45 million (such increase the “Temporary Increase”). The Fourth Omnibus Amendment also amends the Credit Agreement to provide that the Temporary Increase (i) will be reduced on or prior to October 25, 2011 by an amount necessary to reduce the tranche A commitment to $43 million, at which point any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement in excess of $43 million will be due and payable in full, and (ii) will otherwise remain in effect until December 22, 2011, at which time any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement in excess of $35 million will become immediately due and payable in full.

The Fourth Omnibus Amendment also amends the Credit Agreement to provide that Borrower will pay to KeyBank (i) a $160,000 exit fee in the event that the Borrower obtains any replacement financing on the Topaz Property other than a commercial mortgage backed security loan from KeyBank or its affiliates, to be due and payable simultaneously with the closing of such replacement financing, and (ii) a $20,000 fee in connection with making the Topaz Loan available.

In connection with the Fourth Omnibus Amendment, TNP SRT Holdings, TNP SRT Moreno, TNP SRT San Jacinto, TNP SRT Craig Promenade, TNP SRT Northgate, TNP SRT Pinehurst, TNP SRT Topaz and KeyBank entered into an amendment to the revolving credit note in favor of KeyBank which evidences borrowings under the Credit Agreement (the “Note”) in order to increase the principal amount of the Note from $38 million to the lesser of (i) $45 million or (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal amount outstanding under the Note.

Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Commencement and Termination Dates. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) the sale of the Property or any portion thereof (in which event only as to such portion of the Property sold); (ii) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 15 below; or (iii) December 31, 2032 (the “Term”).

2. Authority of Property Manager. Subject to the approval of Company where required hereunder, Property Manager shall have the power and authority to act on behalf of the Company with respect to the duties conferred upon Property Manager hereunder. The power and authority granted by Company to Property Manager hereunder shall include the power and authority to execute, acknowledge, and swear to the execution, acknowledgment of and the filing of, documents involving the ownership, financing, management and operation of the Property which are consistent with this Agreement, and any and all such other documents as may be necessary to implement the management powers of Property Manager set forth in this Agreement. If Company shall now or hereafter be comprised of more than one person or entity, any approval of Company required hereunder shall be deemed granted upon the affirmative consenting vote of persons or entities holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the interest in the Property.

3. Status of the Property Manager. The Company and the Property Manager do not intend to form a joint venture, partnership or similar relationship. Instead, the parties intend that the Property Manager shall act solely in the capacity of an independent contractor for the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall cause the Property Manager and the Company to be joint venturers or partners of each other, and neither shall have the power to bind or obligate the other party by virtue of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall deprive or otherwise affect the right of either party to own, invest in, manage, or operate, or to conduct business activities which compete with the business of, the Property.

4. Property Manager’s Responsibilities

4.1 Management. Property Manager shall manage, operate and maintain the Property in a diligent, professional and commercially reasonable manner, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Company shall make available to the Property Manager such sums as are reasonably necessary to pay the costs thereof. Property Manager may implement such procedures with respect to the Property as Property Manager may deem advisable for the more efficient and economically sound management, operation and maintenance thereof.


4.2 Employees and Third Party Contractors. At all times during the Term, Property Manager shall employ, directly or through third party contractors (e.g., employing a local property management and/or leasing company), a sufficient number of capable employees and/or third party contractors to enable Property Manager to properly, adequately, safely and economically manage, operate and maintain the Property. All matters pertaining to the supervision of such employees and/or third party contractors shall be the responsibility of Property Manager. All salaries and benefits of employees who perform work in connection with the Property shall be consistent with the Budget (as hereinafter defined).

4.3 Compliance with Laws, Loan Documents and Other Matters.

4.3.1 Property Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any applicable Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined) and governmental requirements relative to the performance of its duties hereunder. Expenses incurred to remedy any violations of laws or to comply with the Loan Documents shall be drawn from the Operating Account (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, that Property Manager shall not be obligated to expend funds to remedy any such violations if sufficient funds are not available in the Operating Account or if Company does not provide sufficient additional funds to do so.

4.3.2 Promptly after receipt, Property Manager shall furnish to Company copies of any notices of violation of any governmental requirement, orders issued by any governmental entity and any notices of default from the Lender (as hereinafter defined).

5. Budgets and Operating Plan.

5.1 Property Manager shall prepare and submit to Company a capital and operating budget on a monthly, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) basis for the management, operation and maintenance of the Property for each calendar year (each, a “Budget”). The Budget for the initial calendar year shall be prepared by manager and submitted to Company within thirty days of the date of this Agreement and such initial Budget shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender as hereinafter defined. On or prior to December 15th of the calendar year prior to all subsequent Budget years, or as soon as possible thereafter, Property Manager shall deliver to Company for approval a proposed Budget for the following calendar year. Company shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of the same to approve or disapprove the proposed Budget (the “Budget Review Period”), and shall notify Property Manager of its approval or disapproval of the proposed Budget within the Budget Review Period. Any notice of disapproval shall set forth the grounds for such disapproval with specificity such that Property Manager may endeavor to address those grounds in a revised, proposed Budget to be thereafter submitted to Company. If Company fails to notify Property Manager of its disapproval of the Budget within the Budget Review Period, Company shall be deemed to have approved of the Budget. In the event a portion of any proposed Budget is disapproved, Property Manager may proceed under the proposed Budget for items that are not so disapproved and may take any actions permitted hereunder with respect to such items. In the event that any disapproved Budget items are operational expenditures, as opposed to capital expenditures, Property Manager shall be entitled to operate the Property using the prior year’s Budget for such items plus 5% until approval is obtained. Property Manager shall provide Company with such information regarding the Budget as may be, from time to time, reasonably requested by the Company. Property Manager shall charge all expenses to the proper account as specified in the approved Budget, provided that Property Manager may reallocate savings from one line item to other line items.

5.2 At any time during the calendar year to which any particular Budget applies and prior to making any expenditure which is not within an approved Budget, Property Manager may submit a proposed revision to such Budget to the Company for its approval consistent with the terms set forth above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Property Manager shall not be required to submit a proposed Budget revision to Company for approval if any such expenditure is (a) less than 10% of the total Budget; or (b) is, in Property Manager’s reasonable judgment, required to avoid personal injury, significant property damage, a default under any Loan Documents, a violation of applicable law or the suspension of a service (collectively, “Permitted Expenditures”).

 

2


5.3 On or prior to December 15th of the calendar year prior to all subsequent Budget years, or as soon as possible thereafter, Property Manager shall submit to the Company, for information purposes only, an operating plan for the general operation of the Property, including a proposed list of improvements to the Property, general insurance plan, marketing plan and plan for the general operation and maintenance of the Property (the “Operating Plan”). Property Manager may submit a revised Operating Plan to the Company at any time.

6. Leasing.

6.1 Company hereby approves (i) all leases of any portion of the Property (collectively, and together with any amendments thereto, assignments thereof and guaranties thereto pertaining, the “Leases”) in effect as of the Effective Date.

6.2 Property Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to lease all vacant, leasable space in the Property and to renew Lease agreements in effect as of the Effective Date, and Company hereby grants Property Manager the power and authority to negotiate new Leases and Lease renewals and to take all actions as may be necessary or desirable, in Property Manager’s reasonable discretion, on behalf of Company, to accomplish the foregoing. Property Manager shall reasonably investigate all prospective Tenants (as hereinafter defined), and shall not lease to persons not meeting credit standards reasonable for the market. Property Manager may, in its discretion, obtain a credit check for any prospective Tenant through a credit check company. Property Manager shall retain such information for the duration of any ensuing tenancy, and shall make it available to Company upon reasonable notice, subject to compliance with any confidentiality restrictions required by any such Tenant or any credit check company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Property Manager does not guarantee the accuracy of any such information or the financial condition of any Tenant.

6.3 Property Manager shall provide Company with any proposed new Lease or Lease renewal for approval (each, a “Proposed Lease Transaction”). Company shall have five (5) business days after receipt of the Proposed Lease Transaction to approve or disapprove the Proposed Lease Transaction (the “Lease Review Period”), and shall notify Property Manager of its approval or disapproval of the Proposed Lease Transaction within the Lease Review Period. Any notice of disapproval shall set forth the grounds for such disapproval with specificity such that Property Manager may endeavor to address those grounds in a revised Proposed Lease Transaction to be thereafter submitted to Company. If Company fails to notify Property Manager of its disapproval of any Proposed Lease Transaction within the Lease Review Period, Company shall be deemed to have approved of the Proposed Lease Transaction.

6.4 Property Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts (a) to develop and maintain good relations with the tenants under the Leases (each, a “Tenant,” and collectively, the “Tenants”); (b) to retain existing Tenants in the Property and, after completion of the initial leasing activity for new Tenants, to retain such new Tenants; (c) to secure compliance by the Tenants with the terms and conditions of their respective Leases; (d) to consider and record Tenant service requests in systematic fashion showing the action taken with respect to each, and thoroughly investigate all complaints of a nature which might have a material adverse effect on the Property or the Budget; and (e) to supervise the moving in and out of Tenants and arrange, to the extent possible, the dates thereof to minimize disturbance to the operation of the Property and inconvenience to other Tenants.

6.5 Except as otherwise provided herein or upon the prior written consent of Company, Property Manager shall not lease any space in the Property to itself or to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries.

6.6 Property Manager and Company agree that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of age, race, color, religion, creed, handicap, sex or national origin in the leasing of the Property.

6.7 Property Manager is hereby authorized to execute, on behalf of Company, any and all Service Contracts (hereinafter defined), Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreements, Tenant Estoppel Certificates and Tenant Notices with respect to the Property, as well as notices, estoppels certificates and other documents relating to the Loan (hereafter defined) which are ministerial in nature.

7. Collection of Rents and Other Income. Unless otherwise required by any Loan Documents, Property Manager shall bill all Tenants for, when appropriate, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, all rent and other charges due and payable from all Tenants.

Property Manager shall deposit all monies so collected in the Operating Account.

7.1 Repairs and Maintenance. Property Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and repair the buildings, appurtenances and grounds of the Property, other than areas which are the responsibility of Tenants, and to take precautions against fire at, vandalism of, burglary of and trespass to the Property.

Each such Service Contract shall (a) be in the name of Company or in the name of Property Manager as agent for the Company; (b) be assignable to the nominee of the Company; and (c) be for a term not to exceed one (1) year, unless the circumstances require otherwise, in the sole discretion of Property Manager. Unless Company specifically waives such requirements, all Service Contracts for amounts in excess of $100,000 per year shall be subject to the bidding requirements specified in Section 7.2 above.

(b) All persons who may have or acquire an interest in all or any part of the Property will be considered to have notice of, and will be bound by, the terms of the Secured Obligations and each other agreement or instrument made or entered into in connection with each of the Secured Obligations. Such terms include any provisions in the Note or the Loan Agreement which permit borrowing, repayment and reborrowing, or which provide that the interest rate on one or more of the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time.

 

2. Assignment of Rents.

2.1 Assignment. Grantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns to Beneficiary all rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income, accounts, proceeds and other benefits of the Property, whether now due, past due or to become due, including all prepaid rents and security deposits (some or all collectively, as the context may require, “Rents”).

 

-6-


2.2 Grant of License. This assignment of Leases and Rents constitutes an absolute, irrevocable and present assignment, but Beneficiary hereby confers upon Grantor a license (“License”) to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Event of Default, as defined in Section 6.2 of this Deed of Trust, shall exist and be continuing. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary shall have the right, which it may choose to exercise in its sole discretion, to terminate this License without notice to or demand upon Grantor, and without regard to the adequacy of Beneficiary’s security under this Deed of Trust.

2.3 Collection and Application of Rents. Upon termination of the License granted to Grantor under Section 2.2 of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary has the right, power and authority to collect any and all Rents. Effective upon such termination, Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary its attorney-in-fact to perform any and all of the following acts, if and at the times when Beneficiary in its sole discretion may so choose:

(a) Demand, receive and enforce payment of any and all Rents;

(b) Give receipts, releases and satisfactions for any and all Rents; and

(c) Sue either in the name of Grantor or in the name of Beneficiary for any and all Rents.

Beneficiary and Grantor agree that the mere recordation of the assignment granted herein entitles Beneficiary immediately to collect and receive rents upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as defined in Section 6.2 of this Deed of Trust, without first taking any acts of enforcement under applicable law, such as, but not limited to, providing notice to Grantor, filing foreclosure proceedings, or seeking and/or, except as required by applicable law, obtaining the appointment of a receiver. Further, Beneficiary’s right to the Rents does not depend on whether or not Beneficiary takes possession of the Property as permitted under Subsection 6.3(c) of this Deed of Trust. In Beneficiary’s sole discretion, Beneficiary may choose to collect Rents either with or without taking possession of the Property. Beneficiary shall apply all Rents collected by it in the manner provided under Section 6.6 of this Deed of Trust. If an Event of Default occurs while Beneficiary is in possession of all or part of the Property and is collecting and applying Rents as permitted under this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary and any receiver shall nevertheless be entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Deed of Trust and at law or in equity.

2.4 Beneficiary Not Responsible. Under no circumstances shall Beneficiary have any duty to produce Rents from the Property. Regardless of whether or not Beneficiary, in person or by agent, takes actual possession of the Premises and Improvements, unless Beneficiary agrees in writing to the contrary, Beneficiary is not and shall not be deemed to be:

(a) A “mortgagee in possession” for any purpose; or

 

-7-


(b) Responsible for performing any of the obligations of the lessor under any lease; or

(c) Responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property; or

(d) Liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any part of it except in the event of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary.

2.5 Leasing. Grantor shall not accept any deposit or prepayment of Rents (excluding security deposits) under the leases for any rental period exceeding one (1) month without Beneficiary’s prior written consent. Grantor shall not lease the Property or any part of it except in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

 

3. Grant of Security Interest.

3.1 Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Deed of Trust to create a lien on the Property, and an absolute assignment of the Rents, all in favor of Beneficiary. The parties acknowledge that some of the Property and some or all of the Rents may be determined under applicable law to be personal property or fixtures. To the extent that any Property or Rents may be or be determined to be personal property, Grantor as debtor hereby grants Beneficiary as secured party a security interest in all such Property and Rents, including all products and proceeds thereof, and all supporting obligations ancillary to or arising in any way in connection therewith to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. This Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement under the UCC, covering all such Property and Rents.

3.2 Financing Statements.

This Deed of Trust constitutes and is effective as a financing statement covering any of the Property which is personal property or otherwise subject to Article 9 of the UCC. For this purpose, the respective addresses of Grantor, as debtor, and Beneficiary and Trustee, as secured parties, are as set forth in the preamble of this Deed of Trust. In addition to the foregoing, Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file one or more financing statements. In addition, Grantor shall execute such other documents as Beneficiary may from time to time require to perfect or continue the perfection of Beneficiary’s security interest in any Property or Rents. As provided in Section 5.9 of this Deed of Trust, Grantor shall pay all fees and costs that Beneficiary may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as Beneficiary may reasonably require. In case Grantor fails to execute any financing statements or other documents for the perfection or continuation of any security interest, Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute any such documents on its behalf. If any financing statement or other document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Deed of Trust or the rights or obligations of the parties under it.

 

-8-


4. Fixture Filing.

This Deed of Trust constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under Article 9 of the UCC, covering any Property which now is or later may become fixtures attached to the Premises or Improvements. For this purpose, the respective addresses of Grantor, as debtor, and Beneficiary and Trustee, as secured parties, are as set forth in the preamble of this Deed of Trust.

 

5. Rights and Duties of the Parties.

5.1 Representations and Warranties. Grantor represents and warrants that:

(a) Grantor lawfully possesses and holds, and covenants to maintain, lawful, good and marketable fee simple title to all of the Premises and Improvements;

(b) To Grantor’s knowledge, Grantor has, and covenants to maintain, good title to all Property other than the Premises and Improvements;

(c) Grantor has the full and unlimited power, right and authority to encumber the Property and assign the Rents;

(d) This Deed of Trust creates a first priority lien on the Property except for the Permitted Encumbrances;

(e) The Property includes all property and rights which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to promote the present and any reasonable future beneficial use and enjoyment of the Premises and Improvements;

(f) Except for the Permitted Encumbrances, to Grantor’s knowledge, Grantor owns any Property which is personal property free and clear of any security agreements, liens, security interests, encumbrances, reservations of title or conditional sales contracts, and, to Grantor’s knowledge, there is no financing statement affecting such personal property on file in any public office; and

(g) Grantor’s place of business, or its chief executive office if it has more than one place of business, is located at the address set forth in Section 8.12 below.

5.2 Taxes, and Assessments. Grantor shall pay (or shall cause to be paid) all real estate taxes and assessments and charges of every kind upon the Property before the same become delinquent, provided, however, that Grantor shall have the right to pay such tax under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such taxes so contested and also of preventing the sale or forfeiture of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Grantor has notified Beneficiary of Grantor’s intent to contest such taxes, and (iii) Grantor has deposited security in form and amount satisfactory to Beneficiary, in its reasonable discretion, and has increased the amount of such security so deposited promptly after Beneficiary’s request therefor. If Grantor fails to commence such contest or, having commenced to contest the same, and having deposited such security required by Beneficiary for its full amount, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such

 

-9-


contest in good faith or with due diligence, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall fail to pay such tax, assessment or charge, Beneficiary may, at its election (but shall not be required to), pay and discharge any such tax, assessment or charge, and any interest or penalty thereon, and any amounts so expended by Beneficiary shall be deemed to constitute Secured Obligations hereunder (even if the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note) and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and the Loan Documents. Upon written request of Beneficiary, Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary evidence that taxes are paid at least five (5) days prior to the last date for payment of such taxes and before imposition of any penalty or accrual of interest.

5.3 Performance of Secured Obligations. Grantor shall promptly pay and perform (or shall cause to be promptly paid and performed) each Secured Obligation in accordance with its terms.

5.4 Liens, Charges and Encumbrances. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Grantor will not suffer or permit any mechanics’ lien, voluntary or involuntary lien, lien, encumbrance, security interest, claim, charge, conditional sale or other title retention document to be filed or otherwise asserted against the Property (or any portion thereof), and will promptly discharge the same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof, provided, however, that Grantor shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable diligence the validity of any such lien or claim provided that Grantor posts a statutory lien bond which removes such lien from title to the Property within thirty (30) days after Grantor’s receipt of notice of the recording of such lien. If Grantor shall fail promptly either (i) to discharge any such lien, or (ii) post a statutory lien bond in the manner provided above, Beneficiary may, at its election (but shall not be required to), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may in its sole discretion effect any settlement or compromise of the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity to the applicable insurance company, and any amounts so expended by Beneficiary, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute Secured Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust and the Loan Documents. In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien, Beneficiary shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim.

5.5 Insurance and Condemnation.

(a) Insurance. Grantor shall obtain and maintain (or shall cause to be obtained and maintained) at Grantor’s sole expense the insurance required to be obtained and maintained pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Upon any foreclosure hereof or transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the whole or any part of the Secured Obligations, all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the insurance policies referred to in this Section (including unearned premiums) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at foreclosure or other such transferee, to the extent permissible under such policies. Beneficiary shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make proof of loss for, settle and adjust any claim under, and receive the proceeds of, all insurance for loss of or damage to the Property, regardless of whether or not such insurance policies are required by Beneficiary, and the expenses incurred by Beneficiary in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be a part of the Secured Obligations and shall be due and payable to Beneficiary on demand to

 

-10-


the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default exists, in the event that the loss or damage is Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) or less, Grantor shall have the right to make proof of loss for, settle and adjust any claim under all insurance; provided that any proceeds will be applied in accordance with this Section 5.5, Beneficiary shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any of such proceeds or for the obtaining, maintaining or adequacy of any insurance or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Grantor. In the event of any casualty to the Property or any portion thereof, any such proceeds received by Beneficiary shall within sixty (60) days following the event of casualty, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Beneficiary, including attorneys’ fees, at Beneficiary’s option be (1) released to Grantor in accordance with the rights of Grantor, or (2) applied (upon compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.5(c) of this Deed of Trust) to the repair or restoration, either partly or entirely, of the Property so damaged, or (3) applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not due; provided, however, that Grantor shall have the right to require the release of such proceeds if Grantor can demonstrate satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.5(c) of this Deed of Trust and any release of such proceeds shall be upon the terms and conditions more particularly set forth in said Section 5.5(c). In any event, the unpaid portion of the Secured Obligations shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused. Grantor shall at all times comply with the requirements of the insurance policies required hereunder and of the issuers of such policies and of any board of fire underwriters or similar body as applicable to or affecting the Property.

(b) Condemnation. Grantor shall notify Beneficiary immediately of any threatened or pending proceeding for condemnation affecting the Property or arising out of damage to the Property, and Grantor shall, at Grantor’s expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings. Beneficiary shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in any such proceeding and to be represented by counsel of its own choice. To the extent permitted by law, Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive all sums which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for the condemnation of the Property, or any part thereof, for public or quasi-public use, or by virtue of private sale in lieu thereof, and any sums which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for injury or damage to the Property. Grantor shall, promptly upon request of Beneficiary, execute such additional assignments and other documents as may be necessary from time to time to permit such participation and to enable Beneficiary to collect and receipt for any such sums. All such sums are hereby assigned to Beneficiary, and shall within sixty (60) days following such taking, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Beneficiary, including attorneys’ fees, at Beneficiary’s option be (1) applied (upon compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.5(c) of this Deed of Trust) to the repair or restoration of the Property so affected, or (2) applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not due; provided, however, that Grantor shall have the right to require the release of such proceeds if Grantor can demonstrate satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.5(c) of this Deed of Trust and any release of such proceeds shall be upon the terms and conditions more particularly set forth in said Section 5.5(c). In any event the unpaid portion of the Secured Obligations shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused. Beneficiary shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or to exercise

 

-11-


diligence in the collection of any such sum or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Grantor. Beneficiary is hereby authorized, in the name of Grantor, to execute and deliver valid acquittances for, and to appeal from, any such award, judgment or decree. All reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any condemnation shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor (which Grantor hereby promises to pay) to Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust.

(c) Restoration. In the event there shall be a casualty loss or a condemnation, and Grantor requests or Beneficiary elects to cause the applicable insurance proceeds or condemnation award to be applied to restore, repair or replace the Property (“Restoration”), Beneficiary agrees to disburse such insurance proceeds or condemnation award in accordance with disbursement procedures reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary, including, without limitation, such procedures as are customarily utilized by construction lenders to insure the lien free completion of construction projects. No such insurance proceeds or condemnation award shall be disbursed unless the conditions as set forth in Section 5.06(d) of the Credit Agreement are satisfied.

(e) Grantor shall not commit or allow waste of the Property, including those acts or omissions characterized under the Loan Agreement as waste which arises out of Hazardous Materials to the extent the same would be reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Property.

 

-12-

The terms and conditions of this Assignment shall, however, apply to any such subsequent Agreements, whether or not such instruments are executed or delivered by Grantor.

(j) Grantor shall not enter into any Agreement or materially modify, amend, extend, renew or in any way materially alter the terms of any Agreement, nor waive, excuse, condone or in any manner release or discharge any other party thereunder, of or from any obligation, covenant, condition, or agreement by said party to be performed thereunder without Beneficiary’s prior written consent.

(k) Grantor agrees that, upon receipt of written notice from Beneficiary of the occurrence of any Event of Default and Beneficiary’s election to exercise its rights under this Deed of Trust, each contracting party to, or grantor or licensor of, any Agreement shall be and is hereby irrevocably directed and authorized by Grantor to recognize and

 

-13-


accept Beneficiary as owner or as holder of such Agreement, as the case may be, for any and all purposes as fully as it would recognize and accept Grantor and the performance of Grantor thereunder, and to perform such Agreement for the benefit of Beneficiary in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, without any obligation to determine whether or not any such Event of Default has in fact occurred.

If Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as required by applicable law, chooses to dispose of Property through more than one Foreclosure Sale, Grantor shall pay all reasonable costs, expenses or other advances that may be incurred or made by Beneficiary and/or Trustee in each of such Foreclosure Sales. In any suit to foreclose the lien hereof or enforce any other remedy of Trustee or Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust or the Note, there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness in the decree for sale or other judgment or decree all expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Trustee and Beneficiary for reasonable attorneys’ costs and fees (including the costs and fees of paralegals), survey charges, appraiser’s fees, inspecting engineer’s and/or architect’s fees, fees for environmental studies and assessments and all additional expenses incurred by Trustee and Beneficiary with respect to environmental matters, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, Torrens certificates and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Trustee and Beneficiary may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to, the value of or the environmental condition of the Property. All expenditures and expenses of the nature in this Subsection mentioned, and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Property and maintenance of the lien of this Deed of Trust, including the fees of any attorney (including the costs and fees of paralegals) employed by Trustee or Beneficiary in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Deed of Trust, the Note or the Property, including probate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be reasonable, and shall be immediately due and payable by Grantor, with interest thereon at the Default Rate and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. Any fees, costs or expenses described in this Section 5.9(a) shall be subject to such limitations as may be imposed by applicable California law.

Grantor hereby expressly waives and releases all liability of the types described above, and agrees that no such liability shall be asserted against or imposed upon Beneficiary or Trustee.

(c) Grantor will indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary from and against, and reimburse them on demand for, any and all Indemnified Matters (hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Section 5.9, the term “Beneficiary” shall include the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of Beneficiary and any persons owned or controlled by, owning or controlling, or under common control or affiliated with Beneficiary and the directors, officers, partners, employees, attorneys, agents and representatives of Beneficiary. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnities shall apply to each indemnified person with respect to matters which in whole or in part are caused by or arise out of the negligence of such (and/or any other) indemnified person. However, such indemnities shall not apply to a particular indemnified person to the extent that the subject of the indemnification is caused by or arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that indemnified person. Any amount to be paid under this Section 5.9 by Grantor to Beneficiary shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor (which Grantor hereby promises to pay) to Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust. Nothing in this paragraph, elsewhere in this Deed of Trust or in any other Loan Document shall limit or impair any rights or remedies of Beneficiary (including without limitation any rights of contribution or indemnification) against Grantor or any other person under any other provision of this Deed of Trust, any other Loan Document, any other agreement or any applicable Legal Requirement.

As used in this Deed of Trust, the term “Indemnified Matters” means any and all claims, demands, liabilities (including strict liability), losses, damages (including consequential damages), causes of action, judgments, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professional consultants and experts, and of the investigation and defense of any claim, whether or not such claim is ultimately defeated, and the settlement of any claim or judgment including all value paid or given in settlement) of every kind, known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, which may be imposed upon, asserted against or incurred or paid by Beneficiary at any time and from time to time, whenever imposed, asserted or incurred, because of, resulting from, in connection with, or arising out of any transaction, act, omission, event or circumstance in any way connected with the Property or with this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document, including but not limited to any bodily injury or death or property damage occurring in or upon or in the vicinity of the Property through any cause whatsoever, any act performed or omitted to be performed hereunder or under any other Loan Document, any breach by Grantor of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Deed of Trust or in any other Loan Document, any default as defined herein, any claim under or with respect to any Lease or arising under the Environmental Indemnity; provided that any Indemnified Matters arising under the Environmental Indemnity shall be subject to the limitations set forth therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no

 

-16-


event shall Grantor be liable to, or required to indemnify, Beneficiary for matters arising from or relating to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary. The provisions of this Section 5.9 will survive the repayment of the Secured Obligations, the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, the termination of any and all Interest Rate Agreements, the discharge and release of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, any bankruptcy or other debtor relief proceeding, and any other event whatsoever provided that any obligations arising under the Environmental Indemnity shall be subject to the survival provisions expressly set forth therein.

(d) Grantor shall pay all obligations to pay money arising under this Section 5.9 immediately upon demand by Beneficiary. Each such obligation shall be added to, and considered to be part of, the principal of the Note, shall bear interest from the date the obligation arises at the Default Rate and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents.

(e) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor shall be entitled to assume the defense of any action for which indemnification is sought hereunder to the extent permitted by Section 9.03(c) of the Loan Agreement.

5.10 Defense and Notice of Claims and Actions. At Grantor’s sole expense, Grantor shall protect, preserve and defend the Property and title to and right of possession of the Property, and the security of this Deed of Trust and the rights and powers of Beneficiary created under it, against all adverse claims of a material nature. Grantor shall give Beneficiary prompt notice in writing if any claim is asserted which does or could affect any such matters, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which alleges or relates to any such claim.

5.11 Subrogation. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the liens of all encumbrances, whether released of record or not, which are discharged in whole or in part by Beneficiary in accordance with this Deed of Trust or with the proceeds of any loan secured by this Deed of Trust.

5.12 Site Visits, Observation and Testing. Subject to the rights of any tenant of the Property, thereunder, Beneficiary and its agents and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time to enter and visit the Property for the purpose of performing appraisals, observing the Property, taking and removing soil or groundwater samples, and conducting tests on any part of the Property. Beneficiary has no duty, however, to visit or observe the Property or to conduct tests, and no site visit, observation or testing by Beneficiary, its agents or representatives shall impose any liability on any of Beneficiary, its agents or representatives. In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by Beneficiary, its agents or representatives be a representation that Hazardous Materials are or are not present in, on or under the Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any law, regulation or ordinance pertaining to Hazardous Materials or any other applicable governmental law. Neither Grantor nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by any of Beneficiary, its agents or representatives. Neither Beneficiary, its agents or representatives owe any duty of care to protect Grantor or any other party against, or to inform Grantor or any other party of, any Hazardous Materials or any other adverse condition affecting the Property. Except in the event

 

-17-


of any emergency, Beneficiary shall give Grantor reasonable notice before entering the Property. Beneficiary shall make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Grantor’s use of the Property in exercising any rights provided in this Section 5.12.

5.13 Books and Records. Unless otherwise approved by Beneficiary in writing, all Property that consists of personal property (other than the Books and Records) will be located on the Premises and all Books and Records will be located at Grantor’s place of business or chief executive office if Grantor has more than one place of business.

5.14 Leasing Restrictions. To the extent prohibited by the Loan Agreement, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, Grantor and Grantor’s agents shall not (i) enter into any additional Leases, (ii) modify, amend or terminate any Lease, or (iii) accept any rental payment in advance of its due date.

5.15 Maintenance, Repair and Restoration. In all material respects, Grantor will keep the Property (or will cause the Property to be kept, as applicable) in first class order, repair, operating condition and appearance, causing all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements to be promptly made, and will not allow any of the Property to be misused, abused or wasted or to deteriorate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, (i) remove from the Property any fixtures or personal property covered by this Deed of Trust except such as is replaced by Grantor by an article of substantially equal suitability and value, owned by Grantor, free and clear of any lien or security interest (except that created by this Deed of Trust), or (ii) make any structural alteration to the Property or any other alteration thereto which materially negatively impairs the value thereof. If any act or occurrence of a material nature (including any condemnation or any casualty for which insurance was not obtained or obtainable) shall result in damage to or loss or destruction of the Property, Grantor shall give prompt notice thereof to Beneficiary and Grantor shall promptly, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense, secure the Property as necessary and commence and continue diligently to completion to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to the damage, loss or destruction.

5.16 Operation of Property. In all material respects, Grantor will operate the Property (or will cause the Property to be operated, as applicable) in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements and will pay all fees or charges of any kind in connection therewith. Grantor will keep the Property occupied so as not to impair the insurance carried thereon. Grantor will not use or occupy or conduct any activity on, or allow the use or occupancy of or the conduct of any activity on, the Property in any manner which violates any Legal Requirement in a material respect or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto. Grantor will not initiate or permit any zoning reclassification of the Property or seek any variance under existing zoning ordinances applicable to the Property or use or permit the use of the Property in such a manner which would result in such use becoming a nonconforming use under applicable zoning ordinances or other Legal Requirement. Grantor will not impose any easement, restrictive covenant or encumbrance upon the Property, execute or file any subdivision plat or condominium declaration affecting the Property or consent to the annexation of the Property to any municipality, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary,

 

-18-


to the extent the foregoing would have a material adverse effect on the Property. Grantor will not do or suffer to be done any act whereby the value of any part of the Property may be materially lessened. Grantor will preserve, protect, renew, extend and retain all material rights and privileges granted for or applicable to the Property. Except as permitted by the Permitted Encumbrances, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, there shall be no drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal or production of any mineral, hydrocarbon, gas, natural element, compound or substance (including sand and gravel) from the surface or subsurface of the Land regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof. Grantor will cause all debts and liabilities of any character (including without limitation all debts and liabilities for labor, material and equipment (including software embedded therein) and all debts and charges for utilities servicing the Property) incurred in the construction, maintenance, operation and development of the Property to be promptly paid.

5.17 Financial Matters. Grantor is solvent after giving effect to all borrowings contemplated by the Loan Documents and no proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law is pending (or, to Grantor’s knowledge, threatened) by or against Grantor, or any Affiliate of Grantor, as a debtor. All reports, statements, plans, budgets, applications, agreements and other data and information heretofore furnished or hereafter to be furnished by or on behalf of Grantor to Beneficiary in connection with the loan or loans evidenced by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all financial statements and financial information) are and will be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of their respective dates and do not and will not omit to state any fact or circumstance necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. No material adverse change has occurred since the dates of such reports, statements and other data in the financial condition of Grantor or, to Grantor’s knowledge, of any tenant under any lease described therein.

5.18 Status of Grantor; Suits and Claims; Loan Documents. Grantor is and will continue to be possessed of all requisite power and authority to carry on its business and to own, operate and lease the Property. Each Loan Document executed by Grantor does not and will not result in the creation of any encumbrance against any assets or properties of Grantor, or any other person liable, directly or indirectly, for any of the Secured Obligations, except as expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents or except for any Permitted Encumbrances. There is no suit, action, claim, investigation, inquiry, proceeding or demand pending (or, to Grantor’s knowledge, threatened) against Grantor or, to Grantor’s knowledge which affects the Property (including, without limitation, any which challenges or otherwise pertains to Grantor’s title to the Property) or the validity, enforceability or priority of any of the Loan Documents. Grantor is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Sections 1445 and 7701 (i.e. Grantor is not a non-resident alien, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate as those terms are defined therein and in any regulations promulgated thereunder). The loan evidenced by the Note is solely for business and/or investment purposes, and is not intended for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes. Grantor further warrants that the proceeds of the Note shall be used for commercial purposes and stipulates that the loan evidenced by the Note shall be construed for all purposes as a commercial loan. Grantor’s exact legal name is correctly set forth at the end of this Deed of Trust. If Grantor is not an individual, Grantor is an organization of the type and (if not an unregistered entity) is incorporated in or organized under the laws of the state specified in the introductory paragraph of this Deed of Trust. If Grantor is an unregistered entity (including,

 

-19-


without limitation, a general partnership) it is organized under the laws of the state specified in the introductory paragraph of this Deed of Trust. Grantor will not cause or permit any change to be made in its name or identity (including its trade name or names), unless Grantor shall have notified Beneficiary in writing of such change at least 30 days prior to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all action required by Beneficiary for the purpose of further perfecting or protecting the lien and security interest of Beneficiary in the Property. Grantor’s principal place of business and chief executive office, and the place where Grantor keeps its books and records, including recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium of recording including, without limitation, software, writings, plans, specifications and schematics concerning the Property, has for the preceding four months (or, if less, the entire period of the existence of Grantor) been and will continue to be (unless Grantor notifies Beneficiary of any change in writing at least 30 days prior to the date of such change) the address of Grantor set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Deed of Trust. If Grantor is an individual, Grantor’s principal residence has for the preceding four months been and will continue to be (unless Grantor notifies Beneficiary of any change in writing at least 30 days prior to the date of such change) the address of the principal residence of Grantor set forth at the end of this Deed of Trust. Grantor’s organizational identification number, if any, assigned by the state of incorporation or organization is correctly set forth on the first page of this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall promptly notify Beneficiary (i) of any change of its organizational identification number, or (ii) if Grantor does not now have an organization identification number and later obtains one, of such organizational identification number.

5.19 Certain Environmental Matters. Grantor shall comply with the terms and covenants of the Environmental Indemnity for each property securing the Secured Obligations.

5.20 Further Assurances. Grantor will, promptly on any reasonable request of Beneficiary, (i) correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in the contents, execution or acknowledgment of this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document; (ii) execute, acknowledge, deliver, procure and record and/or file such further documents (including, without limitation, further deeds of trust, security agreements, and assignments of rents or leases) and do such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, to more fully identify and subject to the liens and security interests hereof any property intended to be covered hereby (including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, or appurtenances to the Property) or as deemed advisable by Beneficiary to protect the lien or the security interest hereunder against the rights or interests of third persons; and (iii) provide such certificates, documents, reports, information, affidavits and other instruments and do such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper in the reasonable determination of Beneficiary to enable Beneficiary to comply with the requirements or requests of any agency having jurisdiction over Beneficiary or any examiners of such agencies with respect to the indebtedness secured hereby, Grantor or the Property. Grantor shall pay all costs connected with any of the foregoing, which shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor (which Grantor hereby promises to pay) to Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust.

5.21 Fees and Expenses. Without limitation of any other provision of this Deed of Trust or of any other Loan Document and to the extent reasonable and not prohibited by applicable law, Grantor will pay, and will reimburse to Beneficiary on demand to the extent paid

6. Accelerating Transfers; Default and Remedies.

6.1 Accelerating Transfers.

(a) “Accelerating Transfer” means any Transfer not permitted under the Loan Agreement.

(b) Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary is making one or more advances under the Loan Agreement in reliance on the expertise, skill and experience of Grantor; thus, the Secured Obligations include material elements similar in nature to a personal service contract. In consideration of Beneficiary’s reliance, Grantor agrees that Grantor shall not make any Accelerating Transfer, unless the transfer is preceded by Beneficiary’s express written consent to the particular transaction and transferee. Beneficiary may withhold such consent in its sole discretion.

Any sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or transfer of all or any part of the Property or any interest therein, voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise, except as may be permitted under (and in such case, in accordance with) the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

(g) Grant of Easement, Etc. Without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, Grantor grants any easement or dedication, files any plat, condominium declaration, or restriction, or otherwise encumbers the Property, or seeks or permits any zoning reclassification or variance, unless such action is expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, or does not materially adversely affect the Property, which encumbrance is not removed or rescinded within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Beneficiary.

-22-


to a profitable condition within a reasonable period of time and in any event, prior to the final maturity date of the Note; provided, however, that this subsection shall not be an Event of Default if either (A) such destruction (after taking into consideration the application of any proceeds) does not cause the aggregate Tranche A Exposure of all Tranche A Lenders to exceed the then effective Tranche A Available Amount; or (B) if such destruction (after taking into consideration the application of any proceeds) does cause the aggregate Tranche A Exposure of all Tranche A Lenders to exceed the then effective Tranche A Available Amount, the Borrower has prepaid the applicable Loans in an amount equal to such excess within forty-five (45) days; or (C) Borrower has obtained a release of the Property in accordance with Article VII of the Loan Agreement, in which case Beneficiary shall execute a discharge of this Deed of Trust.

6.3 Remedies. At any time after an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall be entitled to invoke any and all of the rights and remedies described below, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Beneficiary at law or in equity. All of such rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of them shall not constitute an election of remedies.

(a) Acceleration. Beneficiary may declare any or all of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately and may terminate any and all Interest Rate Agreements. Upon any such declaration, such Secured Obligations shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, and such Interest Rate Agreement shall immediately terminate, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of acceleration or of intention to accelerate or any other notice or declaration of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Grantor. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a default described in clauses (f) or (g) of Article VII of the Loan

 

-23-


Agreement, all of the Secured Obligations shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, declaration or notice of acceleration or intention to accelerate, or any other notice, declaration or act of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Grantor.

(b) Receiver. Subject to the requirements (including procedural requirements) of applicable law, Beneficiary shall, as a matter of right, without notice and without giving bond to Grantor or anyone claiming by, under or through Grantor, and without regard for the solvency or insolvency of Grantor or the then value of the Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to have a receiver appointed for all or any part of the Property and the Rents, and the proceeds, issues and profits thereof, with the rights and powers referenced below and such other rights and powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver and shall not oppose any such appointment. Such receiver shall have all powers and duties prescribed by applicable law, all other powers which are necessary or usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Property, and such rights and powers as Beneficiary would have, upon entering and taking possession of the Property under subsection (c) below.

(c) Entry. Beneficiary, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Beneficiary may in its sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust and the Property. Such other things may include: taking and possessing all of Grantor’s or the then owner’s Books and Records; entering into, enforcing, modifying or canceling leases on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may consider proper; obtaining and evicting tenants; fixing or modifying Rents; collecting and receiving any payment of money owing to Beneficiary; completing any unfinished construction; and/or contracting for and making repairs and alterations. If Beneficiary so requests, Grantor shall assemble all of the Property that has been removed from the Premises and make all of it available to Beneficiary at the site of the Premises. Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact to perform such acts and execute such documents as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Grantor’s name on any instruments.

(d) Cure; Protection of Security. Beneficiary may cure any breach or default of Grantor, and if it chooses to do so in connection with any such cure, Beneficiary may also enter the Property and/or do any and all other things which it may in its sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust and the Property. Such other things may include: appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary under, this Deed of Trust; paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of lien which in Beneficiary’s sole judgment is or may be senior in priority to this Deed of Trust, such judgment of Beneficiary to be conclusive as among the parties to this Deed of Trust; obtaining insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried under the Loan Agreement;

 

-24-


otherwise caring for and protecting any and all of the Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Beneficiary. Beneficiary may take any of the actions permitted under this Subsection 6.3(d) either with or without giving notice to any person. Any amounts expended by Beneficiary under this Subsection 6.3(d) shall be deemed Secured Obligations and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and the Loan Documents.

(e) Uniform Commercial Code Remedies; Leases. (i) Beneficiary may exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in the State in which the Property is located.

(ii) Additionally, prior or subsequent to taking possession of any portion of the Property or taking any action with respect to such possession, Beneficiary may: (1) collect and/or sue for the Rents in Beneficiary’s own name, give receipts and releases therefor, and after deducting all expenses of collection, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, apply the net proceeds thereof to the Secured Obligations in such manner and order as Beneficiary may elect and/or to the operation and management of the Property, including the payment of management, brokerage and attorney’s fees and expenses; and (2) require Grantor to transfer all security deposits and records thereof to Beneficiary together with original counterparts of the Leases.

(iii) It is the express understanding and intent of the parties that as to any personal property interests subject to Article 9 of the UCC, Beneficiary, upon an Event of Default, may proceed under the UCC or may proceed as to both real and personal property interests in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust and its rights and remedies in respect to real property, as specifically permitted under Section 9-604 of the UCC.

(f) Foreclosure; Lawsuits. Beneficiary shall have the right, in one or several concurrent or consecutive proceedings, to foreclose the lien hereof upon the Property or any part thereof, for the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, by any proceedings appropriate under applicable law. Beneficiary or its nominee may bid and become the purchaser of all or any part of the Property at any foreclosure or other sale hereunder, and the amount of Beneficiary’s successful bid shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be credited on the Secured Obligations. In addition to the right provided in Section 6.3(a) of this Deed of Trust, upon, or at any time after the filing of a complaint to foreclose this Deed of Trust, Trustee and Beneficiary shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver of the Property by the court in which such complaint is filed, and Grantor hereby consents to such appointment. A sale may cover not only the real property but also the personal property and other interests which are a part of the Property, or any part thereof, as a unit and as a part of a single sale, or the sale may be of any part of the Property separately from the remainder of the Property.

(g) Exercise of Power of Sale. Exercise the power of sale contained in this Deed of Trust and deliver to Trustee a written statement of breach, notice of default and election to cause Grantor’s interest in the Property to be sold, all in accordance with applicable law.

 

-25-


(i) If Beneficiary elects to exercise the power of sale contained in this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall notify Trustee and shall deposit with Trustee copies of this Deed of Trust and the Notes and such receipts and evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as Trustee may require.

(ii) Upon receipt of such notice from Beneficiary and at the direction of Beneficiary, Trustee shall cause to be recorded, published or delivered such notices of default and notices of sale as may then be required by law or this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, only at the direction of Beneficiary and without demand on Grantor, after such time as may then be required by law and after recordation of such notice of default and after notice of sale having been given as required by law, sell Grantor’s interest in the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in such notice of sale, either as a whole, or in separate lots or parcels or items as Beneficiary shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale, or as otherwise may then be required by law. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without limitation, Grantor, Trustee, Beneficiary, or any Lender, may purchase at such sale, and Grantor covenants to warrant and defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers. Beneficiary and Lenders shall have the right to credit bid at any such sale.

(iii) Trustee or Beneficiary may sell not only the real property but also the personal property and other interests which are a part of the Property, or any part thereof, as a unit and as a part of a single sale, or may sell any part of the Property separately from the remainder of the Property. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be required to take possession of any part of the Property or to have any of the personal property present at any sale of the Property. Trustee or Beneficiary may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Trustee or Beneficiary, including the posting of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of Beneficiary. If any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Trustee or Beneficiary, such sale shall not exhaust the power of sale hereunder, and Trustee or Beneficiary shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made hereunder.

(iv) As may be permitted by, but subject to, applicable law, after deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Deed of Trust, including costs of evidence of title in connection with sale, Trustee or Beneficiary shall apply the proceeds of sale (A) first, to payment of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in exercising the power of sale or foreclosing this Deed of Trust, (B) second, to the payment of the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, the principal, accrued interest and other sums due and owing under the Notes and the amounts

 

-26-


due and owing to Beneficiary and Lenders under this Deed of Trust) in such manner and order as Beneficiary may elect, and (C) third, the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Grantor, or such other persons as may be legally entitled thereto.

(v) Trustee may, in the manner provided by law, postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement or subsequently noticed sale, and without further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale.

(h) Other Remedies. In addition to any other right, with or without a foreclosure, Beneficiary may institute a judicial action for the foreclosure or enforcement of the assignments, liens, and security interests hereof subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and applicable California law. Beneficiary may exercise all rights and remedies contained in any other instrument, document, agreement or other writing heretofore, concurrently or in the future executed by Grantor or any other person or entity in favor of Beneficiary in connection with the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to enforce any appropriate remedy against Grantor. Beneficiary shall have the right to pursue all remedies afforded to a Beneficiary under applicable law or in equity or otherwise, and shall have the benefit of all of the provisions of such applicable law, including all amendments thereto which may become effective from time to time after the date hereof. Subject to applicable California law, every right, power and remedy granted to Trustee or Beneficiary in this Deed of Trust shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and in addition to all right, powers and remedies granted at law or in equity or by statute, and the exercise of any such right, power or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise, at the same time or thereafter, any other right, power or remedy.

(i) Sale of Personal Property. Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as required by applicable law, shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law.

(i) For purposes of this power of sale, Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as required by applicable law, may elect to treat as personal property any Property which is intangible or which can be severed from the Premises or Improvements without causing structural damage. If it chooses to do so, Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as required by applicable law, may dispose of any personal property, in any manner permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Property is located, including any public or private sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable law.

(ii) In connection with any sale or other disposition of such Property, Grantor agrees that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable sale: Beneficiary shall mail written notice of the sale to Grantor not later than thirty (30) days prior to such sale. Beneficiary will publish notice of the

 

-27-


sale in a local daily newspaper of general circulation. Upon receipt of any written request, Beneficiary will make the Property available to any bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours. Notwithstanding, Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the Property offered for sale. The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially reasonable.

(iii) Multiple Security. If (a) the Property shall consist of one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the same county, or (b) in addition to this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall now or hereafter hold or be the beneficiary of one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other security (directly or indirectly) for the Secured Obligations upon other property in the state in which the Premises are located (whether or not such property is owned by Grantor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, Beneficiary may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single trustee’s sale or foreclosure action all of the trustee’s sale or foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the Secured Obligations (including the Property), which action may be brought or consolidated in the courts of, or sale conducted in, any county in which any of such collateral is located. Grantor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated trustee’s sale or foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Beneficiary to enter into certain agreements with Grantor, and for Beneficiary to enter into the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Grantor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Grantor further agrees that if Beneficiary shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other proceedings against a portion of the Property or against any collateral other than the Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures the Secured Obligations, or if Beneficiary shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral (or, in the case of a trustee’s sale, shall have met the statutory requirements therefor with respect to such collateral), then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were obtained in or outside the state in which the Premises are located, Beneficiary may commence or continue any trustee’s sale or foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this Deed of Trust against all or any part of the Property and Grantor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay the execution of, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Deed of Trust or such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to sell the Property in a trustee’s sale, to foreclose this Deed of Trust nor the exercise of any other rights hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Beneficiary nor the occurrence of any sale by Beneficiary or any Lender in any such proceedings

 

-28-


shall prejudice, limit or preclude Beneficiary’s right to commence or continue one or more trustee’s sales, foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against (or, in the case of a trustee’s sale, to meet the statutory requirements for, any such sale of) any other collateral (either in or outside the state in which the Premises are located) which directly or indirectly secures the Secured Obligations, and Grantor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other sales or proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such sales or proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Deed of Trust, and Grantor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay the execution of, remove, transfer or consolidate either such other sales or proceedings or any sale or action under this Deed of Trust on such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Beneficiary may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single trustee’s sale or foreclosure action at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Secured Obligations (directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner

6.4 Application of Rents and Other Sums. Beneficiary shall apply any and all Rents collected by it, and any and all sums other than proceeds of a Foreclosure Sale which Beneficiary may receive or collect under Section 6.3 of this Deed of Trust, in the following manner:

(a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs and expenses of operation and collection that may be incurred by Beneficiary or any receiver;

(b) Second, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may choose; and

(c) Third, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it.

Beneficiary shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually receive.

 

7. The Trustee.

7.1 Rights and Obligations of Trustee. Trustee accepts the trusts hereby created and agrees to perform its duties in this Deed of Trust for the benefit of Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by and consistent with applicable law, Trustee will not exercise its rights under this Deed of Trust except upon written direction from Beneficiary.

7.2 Successor Trustee. Beneficiary may, from time to time, by a written instrument executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary, mailed to Grantor and recorded in the county in which the Property is located and by otherwise complying with the provisions of applicable law, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, and such successor(s) shall, without conveyance from the Trustee predecessor, succeed to all title, estate, rights, powers and duties of such predecessor.

 

-29-


7.3 Payment of Trustee’s Compensation. Grantor shall pay or cause to be paid the compensation to which Trustee is entitled hereunder and all proper disbursements and expenses incurred by Trustee hereunder, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

8. Miscellaneous Provisions.

8.1 Additional Provisions. The Loan Documents fully state all of the terms and conditions of the parties’ agreement regarding the matters mentioned in or incidental to this Deed of Trust. The Loan Documents also grant further rights to Beneficiary and contain further agreements and affirmative and negative covenants by Grantor which apply to this Deed of Trust and to the Property.

8.2 No Waiver or Cure.

(a) Each waiver by Beneficiary must be in writing, and no waiver shall be construed as a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be implied from any delay or failure by Beneficiary to take action on account of any default of Grantor. Consent by Beneficiary to any act or omission by Grantor shall not be construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission or to waive the requirement for Beneficiary’s consent to be obtained in any future or other instance.

(b) If any of the events described below occurs, that event alone shall not: cure or waive any breach, Event of Default or notice of default under this Deed of Trust or invalidate any act performed pursuant to any such default or notice; or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale (unless all Secured Obligations then due have been paid and performed and all other defaults under the Loan Documents have been cured); or impair the security of this Deed of Trust; or prejudice Beneficiary or any receiver in the exercise of any right or remedy afforded any of them under this Deed of Trust; or be construed as an affirmation by Beneficiary of any tenancy, lease or option, or a subordination of the lien of this Deed of Trust.

(i) Trustee or Beneficiary, its agent or a receiver takes possession of all or any part of the Property in the manner provided in Subsection 6.3(c).

(ii) Beneficiary collects and applies Rents as permitted under Sections 2.3 and 6.6 of this Deed of Trust, either with or without taking possession of all or any part of the Property.

8.3 Powers of Beneficiary.

(a) If Beneficiary performs any act which it is empowered or authorized to perform under this Deed of Trust, including any act permitted by Section 5.7 or Subsection 6.3(d) of this Deed of Trust, that act alone shall not release or change the personal liability of any person for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations then outstanding, or the lien of this Deed of Trust on all or the remainder of the Property for full payment and performance of all outstanding Secured Obligations. The liability of the original Grantor shall not be released or changed if Beneficiary grants any successor in interest to Grantor any extension of time for payment, or modification of the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation. Beneficiary shall not be required to comply with any demand by the original Grantor that Beneficiary refuse to grant such an extension or modification to, or commence proceedings against, any such successor in interest.

(b) Following an Event of Default that remains uncured, Beneficiary may take any of the actions permitted under Subsections 6.3(b) and/or 6.3(c) of this Deed of Trust regardless of the adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations, or whether any or all of the Secured Obligations have been declared to be immediately due and payable, or whether notice of default and election to sell has been given under this Deed of Trust.

(c) From time to time, Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in executing and enforcing the rights and remedies created under this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary may from time to time obtain orders or decrees directing, confirming or approving acts in executing and enforcing these rights and remedies.

8.4 Merger. The parties to this Deed of Trust intend that no merger shall occur as a result of Beneficiary’s acquiring any other estate in or any other lien on the Property unless Beneficiary consents to a merger in writing.

8.5 Joint and Several Liability. If Grantor consists of more than one person, each shall be jointly and severally liable for the faithful performance of all of Grantor’s obligations under this Deed of Trust.

8.7 Successors in Interest. The terms, covenants and conditions of this Deed of Trust shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties. However, this Section 8.7 does not waive the provisions of Section 6.1 of this Deed of Trust.

8.8 Interpretation.

(a) Whenever the context requires, all words used in the singular will be construed to have been used in the plural, and vice versa, and each gender will include any other gender. The captions of the sections of this Deed of Trust are for convenience only and do not define or limit any terms or provisions. The word “include(s)” means “include(s), without limitation,” and the word “including” means “including, but not limited to.”

(b) The word “obligations” is used in its broadest and most comprehensive sense, and includes all primary, secondary, direct, indirect, fixed and contingent obligations. It further includes all principal, interest, prepayment charges, late charges, loan fees and any other fees and charges accruing or assessed at any time, as well as all obligations to perform acts or satisfy conditions.

(c) No listing of specific instances, items or matters in any way limits the scope or generality of any language of this Deed of Trust. The Exhibits to this Deed of Trust are hereby incorporated in this Deed of Trust.

8.9 In-House Counsel Fees. Whenever Grantor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary for any attorneys’ fees, those fees shall include the reasonable allocated costs for services of in-house counsel.

8.10 Waiver of Statutory Rights. To the extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby agrees that it shall not and will not apply for or avail itself of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or exemption laws, or any so-called “Moratorium Laws,” now existing or hereafter enacted, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, but hereby waives the benefit of such laws to the extent permitted by law. Grantor for itself and all who may claim through or under it waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising the Property marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the Property sold as an entirety. To the extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any judgment of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust on behalf of Grantor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property of any nature whatsoever, subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust. The foregoing waiver of right of redemption is made pursuant to the provisions of applicable law.

8.11 Severability. If any provision of this Deed of Trust should be held unenforceable or void, that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions and shall in no way affect the validity of this Deed of Trust except that if such provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then Beneficiary may, at its option, declare all Secured Obligations immediately due and payable.

8.12 Notices. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given (a) if hand delivered, when delivered; (b) if mailed by United States Certified Mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), three Business Days after mailing (c)

Nor shall appointment of a receiver for the Property by any court at the request of Beneficiary or by agreement with Grantor, or the entering into possession of the Property by such receiver, be deemed to make Beneficiary a “mortgagee-in-possession” or otherwise liable in any manner with respect to the Property.

9.3 Environmental Provisions.

(a) Beneficiary may waive its lien against the Property or any portion thereof, whether fixtures or personal property, to the extent such property is found to be “environmentally impaired” or an “affected parcel” in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5 and may exercise any and all rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor against Grantor and all of Grantor’s assets and property for the recovery of any deficiency and Environmental Costs (as hereafter defined), including, but not limited to, seeking an attachment order under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 483.010. The term “Environmental Costs” shall mean any costs, damages, expenses, fees, penalties, fines, judgments, indemnification payments to third parties, and other out-of-pocket costs or expenses actually incurred or advanced by Beneficiary relating to the cleanup, remediation or other response action required by Environmental Laws or which Beneficiary reasonably believes necessary to protect the Property.

As between Beneficiary and Grantor, for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, Grantor shall have the burden of proving that Grantor or any related party (or any Affiliate or agent of Grantor or any related party) was not in any way negligent in permitting the release or threatened release of the Hazardous Material. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, if this clause (a) applies, then notwithstanding any term or provision contained herein or in the Loan Documents, all judgments

 

-35-


and awards entered against Grantor shall be exceptions to any nonrecourse or exculpatory provision of the Loan Documents, and Grantor shall be fully and personally liable for all judgments and awards entered against Grantor relating to Environmental Costs and such liability shall not be limited to the original principal amount of the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust and Grantor’s obligations shall survive the foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, release, reconveyance, or any other transfer of the Property or this Deed of Trust. For the purposes of any action brought by or on behalf of Beneficiary under this Section 9.3, Grantor hereby waives the defense of laches and any applicable statute of limitations.

(b) In the event Beneficiary elects, in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, to waive all or part of the security of this Deed of Trust and proceed against Grantor on an unsecured basis, the valuation of the Property, the determination of the environmentally impaired status of such security and any cause of action for a money judgment shall, at the request of Beneficiary, be referred to a referee in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 638 et seq. Such referee shall be an impartial M.A.I. appraiser selected by Beneficiary and approved by Grantor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the parties cannot agree on an M.A.I. appraiser approved by Grantor, either party may apply to the presiding judge of the Superior Court in which the Property is located to make such appointment. The decision of such referee shall be binding upon both Grantor and Beneficiary, and judgment upon the award rendered by such referee shall be entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645. Grantor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any proceeding under California Code of Civil Procedure 726.5, as such Section may be amended from time to time.

(c) Beneficiary or its agents, acting by themselves or through a court appointed receiver, may upon reasonable advance notice to Grantor, enter upon the Property or any part thereof and may perform such acts and things as Beneficiary deems reasonably necessary or desirable to inspect, investigate, assess, and protect the security hereof, including without limitation of any of its other rights: (i) obtain a court order to enforce Beneficiary’s right to enter and inspect the Premises under California Civil Code Section 2929.5, to which the decision of Beneficiary as to whether there exists a release or threatened release of any Hazardous Material onto the Premises shall be deemed reasonable and conclusive as between the parties hereto; and (ii) have a receiver appointed under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 564 to enforce Beneficiary’s right to enter and inspect the Premises for Hazardous Material. Subject to the Loan Documents, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary with respect to the audits, tests, inspections, and examinations which Beneficiary or its agents or employees may conduct, including the reasonable fees of the engineers, laboratories, contractors, consultants and attorneys, shall become part of the indebtedness secured hereby and shall be paid by Grantor upon demand with interest at the Default Rate from the date when paid by Beneficiary.

(d) Beneficiary may seek a judgment that Grantor has breached its covenants, representations, warranties and/or other provisions with respect to this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents by commencing and maintaining an action or actions in any court of competent jurisdiction for breach of contract pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736, whether commenced prior to or after foreclosure of the Property, and may seek the recovery of

 

-36-


Environmental Costs, it being conclusively presumed between Beneficiary and Grantor that all such Environmental Costs incurred or advanced by Beneficiary relating to the cleanup, remediation or other response action of or to the Premises were made by Beneficiary in good faith. Grantor acknowledges that such an action shall not constitute an action within the meaning of Section 726(a) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or constitute a money judgment for a deficiency or a deficiency judgment within the meaning of Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure. All Environmental Costs incurred by Beneficiary (including court costs, consultant fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, whether incurred in litigation or not and whether before or after judgment) shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure until said sums have been paid. Beneficiary shall be entitled to bid, at the sale of the Property held under any provision of this Deed of Trust, the amount of said costs, expenses and interest in addition to the amount of the other obligations hereby secured as a credit bid, the equivalent of cash.

(e) Without limiting any of the remedies provided in the Loan Documents, Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 9.3 and the Environmental Indemnity executed in connection herewith are “environmental provisions” (as defined in Section 736(t)(2) of the California Code of Civil Procedure) made by Grantor relating to the Premises (the “Environmental Provisions”). Grantor’s breach or a failure to comply with the Environmental Provisions shall constitute a breach of contract entitling Beneficiary to all remedies provided under Section 736 of the California Code of Civil Procedure for the recovery of damages and for the enforcement of the Environmental Provisions. Pursuant to Section 736, Beneficiary’s action for recovery of damages or enforcement of the Environmental Provisions shall not constitute an action within the meaning of Section 726(a) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or constitute a money judgment for a deficiency or a deficiency judgment within the meaning of Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure. The rights and remedies provided for under the Loan Documents are separate and distinct causes of action that shall not be abrogated, modified, limited or otherwise affected by the remedies provided under Section 736(a) of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of Beneficiary to recover, in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), any reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Beneficiary and arising from any covenant, obligation, liability, representation or warranty contained in any Loan Document given to Beneficiary (including, without limitation, the Environmental Indemnity), or any order, consent decree or settlement relating to the cleanup of Hazardous Material or any other “environmental provision” (as defined in such Section 736) relating to the Property or any portion thereof or the right of Beneficiary to waive, in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5 (as such Section may be amended from time to time), the security of this Deed of Trust as to any parcel of the Property that is “environmentally impaired” or is an “affected parcel” (as such terms are defined in such Section 726.5), and as to any personal property attached to such parcel, and thereafter to exercise against Grantor, to the extent permitted by such Section 726.5, the rights and remedies of any unsecured creditor, including reduction of Beneficiary’s claim against Grantor to judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted by law.

 

-37-

The recitals of facts in any instrument delivered upon completion of any sales, as described in Section 6.3, above, such as the existence of a default, the giving of written notice of default and notice of sale, and other facts affecting the regularity or validity of such sale or disposition, shall be conclusive proof of the trust of such facts and any such instruments shall be conclusive against all persons as to such fact recited therein.

9.5 Right Of Entry. In addition to any other rights or remedies granted under this Deed of Trust but subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the rights of lessees, Beneficiary and its agents, acting by themselves or through a court appointed receiver, upon reasonable advance notice to Grantor and an opportunity to be present, shall have the right to enter upon the Property or any part thereof and perform such acts and things as Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable to inspect, investigate, assess, and protect the security thereof Without limitation of any of its other rights and subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, Beneficiary shall have the right to: (i) obtain a court order to enforce Beneficiary’s right to enter and inspect the Property under California Civil Code Section 2929.5 to which the decision of Beneficiary as to whether there exists a release or threatened release of Hazardous Material onto the Property shall be deemed reasonable and conclusive as between the parties hereto and (ii) have a receiver appointed under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 564 to enforce Beneficiary’s right to enter and inspect the Property for Hazardous Material. Subject to the Loan Agreement, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary with respect to the audits, tests, inspections, and examinations which Beneficiary or its agents or employees may conduct, including the reasonable fees of the engineers, laboratories, contractors, consultants, and attorneys, shall be paid by Grantor five (5) Business Days following demand with interest at the Default Rate from the date paid by Beneficiary. Such costs, if not paid for by Grantor following demand, may be added to the principal balance of the sums due under the Note and this Deed of Trust and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate.

9.6 Reconveyance. If the Obligations are paid and all obligations secured by this Deed of Trust are fully performed in accordance with the terms of this Deed of Trust, the Note and the other Loan Documents, then Beneficiary agrees to request Trustee to reconvey the Property or any applicable portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement upon payment by Grantor of Trustee’s fees and all other sums owing to it under this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, Trustee will reconvey the Property without warranty to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. The grantee in the reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.” No reconveyance hereof shall impair Grantor’s warranties and indemnities contained herein.

9.7 Border Zone Property. To Grantor’s actual knowledge and except as disclosed in the Environmental Report, Grantor represents and warrants that the Premises have not been designated as Border Zone Property under the provisions of California Health and Safety Code, Sections 25220 et seq. or any regulation adopted in accordance therewith, and there has been no occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining the Premises that is reasonably likely to cause the Premises or any part thereof to be designated as Border Zone Property.

(v) the discovery by any Indemnitor of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause the Property or any part thereof to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of the Property under any Environmental Law;

For the purposes hereof, the term “discovery” shall mean the date that Indemnitor acquires actual knowledge of such fact or circumstance.

(d) provide Agent with copies of all reports, analyses, notices, licenses, approvals, orders, correspondences or other written materials in its possession or control relating to the presence of Hazardous Material at the Property in violation of any Environmental Law or Environmental Proceedings immediately upon receipt, completion or delivery of such materials;

-5-


(f) not create or permit to continue in existence any lien (whether or not such lien has priority over the lien created by the Deed of Trust) upon the Property imposed pursuant to any Environmental Law;

(g) not change or alter the present use of the Property unless Indemnitors shall have notified Agent thereof in writing and Agent shall have determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such change or modification will not result in the presence of Hazardous Material in violation of any Environmental Law on the Property in such a level that would increase the potential liability for Environmental Proceedings; and

(h) subject to the limitations on indemnity set forth in Section 6 below, upon demand by an Indemnified Party, diligently defend any Environmental Proceeding or claim related to the noncompliance of any Environmental Law with respect to the Property or the use thereof, all at the Indemnitors’ own cost and expense and by counsel approved by Agent in the exercise of its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that Agent may elect, at any time, to conduct its own defense through counsel selected by Agent at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitors.

Notwithstanding subsection (h) above, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indemnitors shall be entitled to assume the defense of any action for which indemnification is sought hereunder to the extent permitted by Section 9.03(c) of the Loan Agreement.

4. Right of Entry and Disclosure of Environmental Reports. Subject to the Leases (as defined in the Deed of Trust) and the rights of tenants thereunder, Property Borrower hereby grants to Agent its agents, employees, consultants and contractors, an irrevocable license and authorization to enter upon and inspect the Property, at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice, and to conduct such environmental audits and tests, including, without limitation, subsurface testing, soils and groundwater testing, and other tests which may physically invade the Property, which Agent, in its reasonable discretion, determines are necessary or desirable. With respect to invasive testing, such as soil borings, Agent shall consult with Property Borrower in advance of such tests. Agent agrees, however, that it shall not conduct any such audits, unless an Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents or Agent has reason to believe that such audit may disclose the Release, Threat of Release and/or presence of Hazardous Material or unless any previously conducted environmental audit deems further testing necessary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Property Borrower agrees that Agent shall have the right to appoint a receiver to enforce this right to enter and inspect the Property to the extent such authority is provided under applicable law. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with any inspection, audit or testing conducted in accordance with this Section 4 shall be paid by the Indemnitors upon demand by Agent. The results of all investigations and reports prepared by Agent shall be and at all times remain the property of Agent and under no circumstances shall Agent have any obligation whatsoever to disclose or otherwise make available to Indemnitors or any other party such results or any other information obtained by it in connection with such investigations and reports; provided, however, that if there exists no Event of Default under the Loan Documents, if requested by Property Borrower, Agent shall provide to Property Borrower a copy of the written report with respect to any inspection, audit or testing for which Property Borrower has paid hereunder. Agent hereby reserves the right, and Indemnitors hereby expressly authorize Agent to make available to any party in connection with a sale of the Property any and all reports,

 

-6-


whether prepared by Agent or prepared by Property Borrower and provided to Agent (collectively, the “Environmental Reports”) which Agent may have with respect to the Property. Each Indemnitor consents to Agent notifying any party under such circumstances of the availability of any or all of the Environmental Reports and the information contained therein. Each Indemnitor further agrees that Agent may disclose such Environmental Reports to any governmental agency or authority if they reasonably believe that they are required to disclose any matter contained therein to such agency or authority; provided that Agent shall give Property Borrower at least 48 hours prior written notice before so doing. Each Indemnitor acknowledges that Agent cannot control or otherwise assure the truthfulness or accuracy of the Environmental Reports, and that the release of the Environmental Reports, or any information contained therein, to prospective bidders at any foreclosure sale of the Property may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount which a party may bid at such sale. Each Indemnitor agrees that Agent (i) owes no duty of care to protect the Indemnitors or any other Person from, or to inform the Indemnitors or any other Person of, any Hazardous Material or any other environmental condition affecting the Property and (ii) shall not have any liability whatsoever as a result of delivering any or all of the Environmental Reports or any information contained therein to any Indemnitor or any other Person, and each Indemnitor hereby releases and forever discharges Agent and Lenders from any and all claims, damages, or causes of action arising out of connected with or incidental to the Environmental Reports or the delivery thereof.

5. Indemnitor’s Remedial Work. Indemnitors shall promptly perform or with respect to the corrective actions, if any, described in the Environmental Documents, cause to be performed any and all necessary remedial work (“Remedial Work”) in response to any Environmental Proceedings and/or required by applicable governmental authority having jurisdiction or the presence, storage, use, disposal, transportation, discharge or release of any Hazardous Material on, under or about any of the Property; provided, however, that Property Borrower shall perform or cause to be performed such Remedial Work so as to minimize any impairment to Agent’s security under the Loan Documents.

All Remedial Work shall be conducted:

a. in a diligent and timely fashion by licensed contractors acting under the supervision of a consulting environmental engineer;

b. pursuant to a detailed written plan for the Remedial Work approved by any public or private agencies or persons with a legal or contractual right to such approval;

c. with such insurance coverage pertaining to liabilities arising out of the Remedial Work as is then customarily maintained with respect to such activities; and

d. only following receipt of any required permits, licenses or approvals.

The selection of the Remedial Work contractors and consulting environmental engineer, the contracts entered into with such parties, any disclosures to or agreements with any public or private agencies or parties relating to Remedial Work and the written plan for the Remedial Work (and any changes thereto) shall each be subject to Agent’s prior written approval, which

 

-7-


shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, Indemnitors shall submit to Agent, promptly upon receipt or preparation, copies of any and all reports, studies, analyses, correspondence, governmental comments or approvals, proposed removal or other Remedial Work contracts and similar information prepared or received by Indemnitors in connection with any Remedial Work, or Hazardous Material relating to the Property. All costs and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Indemnitors, including, without limitation, the charges of the Remedial Work contractors and the consulting environmental engineer, any taxes or penalties assessed in connection with the Remedial Work and Agent’s reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. Agent shall have the right but not the obligation to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Environmental Proceedings.

6. Indemnity. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4 above regarding the defense and settlement of Environmental Proceedings and claims, Indemnitors, each jointly and severally, covenant and agree, at their sole cost and expense, to indemnify, defend (at trial and appellate levels and with attorneys, consultants and experts reasonably acceptable to Agent) and hold each Indemnified Party harmless against and from any and all liens, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, settlement payments, penalties, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and disbursements incurred in investigating, defending against, settling or prosecuting any claim, litigation or proceeding) (collectively, “Expenses”) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against such Indemnified Party or the Property, and arising directly or indirectly from or out of: (A) the Release or Threat of Release of any Hazardous Materials on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property or emanating from the Property and affecting any areas surrounding the Property, regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of Property Borrower; (B) a material violation of any Environmental Law applicable to the Property or the Property Borrower, whether or not caused by or within the control of Property Borrower; (C) the failure of Property Borrower to comply with the terms and conditions of this Indemnity Agreement in all material respects; (D) the violation of any Laws in connection with other real property of Property Borrower which gives or may give rise to any rights whatsoever in any party with respect to the Property by virtue of any Environmental Laws; (E) the enforcement of this Indemnity Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) the reasonable costs of assessment, containment and/or removal of any and all Hazardous Materials in violation of any Environmental Law from all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas impacted by any Hazardous Materials emanating from the Property in violation of any Environmental Law, (ii) the costs of any reasonable actions taken in response to a Release or Threat of Release of any Hazardous Materials on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property to prevent or minimize such Release or Threat of Release, if required by applicable Environmental Laws, and (iii) reasonable costs actually incurred to comply with all Laws (including all Environmental Laws) in connection with all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas impacted by any Hazardous Materials emanating from the Property; or (F) all foreseeable and all unforeseeable Expenses arising out of: Environmental Proceedings or the use, generation, storage, discharge or disposal of Hazardous Material in violation of any Environmental Law by Indemnitors, any prior owner or operator of the Project or any person on or about the Project; (ii) any residual contamination affecting any natural resource or the environment in violation of any Environmental Law; or (iii) any exercise by Agent of any of its rights and remedies hereunder; and

 

-8-


Indemnitors’ liability to the aforementioned indemnified parties shall arise upon the earlier to occur of (1) discovery of any Hazardous Material in violation of any Environmental Law on, under or about the Property, or (2) the institution of any Environmental Proceedings, and not upon the realization of loss or damage, and Indemnitors shall pay to Agent from time to time, immediately upon request, an amount equal to such Expenses, as reasonably determined by Agent. In addition, in the event any Hazardous Material is removed, or caused to be removed from the Property, by Indemnitors, Agent or any other person, the number assigned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to such Environmental Proceedings or any similar identification shall in no event be in the name of Agent or identify the Agent as a generator, arranger or other designation. The foregoing indemnity shall not include Expenses arising solely from (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Indemnified Party; (B) Hazardous Material which first exists on the Property following the date on which the Agent takes title to the Property, whether by foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, deed-in-lieu thereof or otherwise; or (C) Hazardous Material which first exists on the Property following the date on which Agent releases its security interest in the Property.

7. Remedies Upon Default. In addition to any other rights or remedies Agent may have under this Indemnity Agreement, at law or in equity, in the event that Indemnitors shall fail to timely comply with any of the provisions hereof, or in the event that any representation or warranty made herein proves to be false or misleading when made in a material respect, then, in such event, after (i) delivering written notice to Indemnitors, which notice specifically states that Indemnitors have failed to comply with the provisions of this Indemnity Agreement; and (ii) the expiration of the later to occur of the thirty (30) day period after receipt of such notice or the cure period, if any, permitted under any applicable law, rule, regulation or order with which Indemnitors shall have failed to comply, Agent may declare an Event of Default under the Loan Documents and exercise any and all remedies provided for therein, and/or do or cause to be done whatever is reasonably necessary to cause the Property to comply with all Environmental Laws and the cost thereof shall constitute an Expense hereunder and shall become immediately due and payable without notice and with interest thereon at the Default Rate until paid. Subject to the Leases and rights of tenants thereunder, Indemnitors shall give to Agent and its agents and employees access to the Property for the purpose of effecting such compliance and hereby specifically grant to Agent a license, effective upon expiration of the applicable period as described above, if any, to do whatever is necessary to cause the Property to so comply, including, without limitation, to enter the Property and remove therefrom any Hazardous Material in violation of an Environmental Law or otherwise comply with any Environmental Laws.

8. Obligations. The obligations set forth herein, including, without limitation, Indemnitors’ obligation to pay Expenses hereunder, are collectively referred to as, the “Environmental Obligations”. Notwithstanding any term or provision contained herein or in the Loan Documents, the Environmental Obligations are unconditional. Indemnitors shall be fully and personally liable for the Environmental Obligations hereunder, and such liability shall not be limited to the original principal amount of the Loan. The Environmental Obligations shall survive the repayment of the Loan and any foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or similar proceedings by or through which Agent, and Lender, or any of their affiliates, nominees, successors or assigns or any other person bidding at a foreclosure sale may obtain title to the Property or any portion thereof, except as otherwise set forth in Section 6 hereof.

 

-9-


The liabilities of Indemnitors under this Indemnity Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and each Indemnitor hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by, any amendment or modification of the provisions of the Loan Documents to or with Agent by Property Borrower, Secured Holdings, San Jacinto, Moreno, Craig Promenade, Northgate or any Borrower or Guarantor or any related party to or affiliate of Agent or any Lender who succeeds Property Borrower as owner of the Property. In addition, notwithstanding any terms of any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, the liability of each Indemnitor under this Indemnity Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by: (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents; (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note or the Deed of Trust or any sale or transfer of all or part of the Property; (iii) any exculpatory provision in any of the Loan Documents limiting Agent’s or any Lender’s recourse to property encumbered by the Deed of Trust or to any other security, or limiting Agent’s or any Lender’s rights to a deficiency judgment against Property Borrower or any other Borrower; (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Property Borrower or any Borrower or Guarantor under any of the Loan Documents; (v) the release of Property Borrower, any Borrower or Guarantor or any other person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in the Loan Documents by operation of law, Agent’s or any Lender’s voluntary act, or otherwise; (vi) the release or substitution, in whole or in part, of any security for the Note; or (vii) Agent’s failure to record the Deed of Trust or file any UCC-1 financing statements (or Agent’s improper recording or filing of any thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien given as security for the Note; and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Property Borrower or any Guarantor and with or without consideration.

Each Indemnitor waives any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of Property Borrower’s or any other Borrower’s assets or to cause Agent to proceed against any of the security for the Loan before proceeding under this Indemnity Agreement against any Indemnitor or to proceed against any Indemnitor in any particular order; each Indemnitor agrees that any payments required to be made hereunder shall become due on demand; each Indemnitor expressly waive and relinquish all rights and remedies (including any rights of subrogation) accorded by applicable law to indemnitors or guarantors.

9. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Indemnity Agreement nor consent to any departure by Indemnitors therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Indemnitors shall in any case entitle Indemnitors to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

10. Exercise of Remedies. No failure on the part of Agent to exercise and no delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof. Agent shall not be estopped to exercise any such right or remedy at any future time because of any such failure or delay; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of such right or remedy or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

 

-10-


11. Assignment. Agent may assign its interest under this Indemnity Agreement to any successor to its respective interests in the Property or the Loan Documents. This Indemnity Agreement may not be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by any Indemnitor and any purported assignment by any Indemnitor of this Indemnity Agreement shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect.

12. Counterparts. This Indemnity Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of such counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

13. Governing Law. This Indemnity Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be exclusively construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California.

14. Modifications. This Indemnity Agreement may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing which by its express terms refers to this Indemnity Agreement and which is duly executed by Indemnitors and consented to in writing by Agent.

15. Attorneys’ Fees. If Agent commences litigation for the interpretation, enforcement, termination, cancellation or rescission of this Indemnity Agreement, or for damages for the breach of this Indemnity Agreement, Agent shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees (including, but not limited to, in-house counsel fees) and court and other costs incurred in connection therewith.

16. Interpretation. This Indemnity Agreement has been negotiated by parties knowledgeable in the matters contained herein, with the advice of counsel, is to be construed and interpreted in absolute parity, and shall not be construed or interpreted against any party by reason of such party’s preparation of the initial or any subsequent draft of the Loan Documents or this Indemnity Agreement.

17. Severability. If any term or provision of this Indemnity Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other terms and provisions in this Indemnity Agreement shall nevertheless remain effective and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

18. Other Laws. Nothing in this Indemnity Agreement, and no exercise by Agent of its rights or remedies under this Indemnity Agreement, shall impair, constitute a waiver of, or in any way affect Agent’s rights and remedies with respect to Indemnitors under any Environmental Laws, including without limitation, contribution provisions or private right of action provisions under such Environmental Laws.

20. Joint and Several Liability. Indemnitors agree that they shall each be jointly and severally liable for the performance of the Environmental Obligations and all other obligations of Indemnitors contained in this Indemnity Agreement.

21. California Provisions. (a) The purpose of this Indemnity Agreement is to protect Agent and Lenders against liability, loss, damage, cost or expense with respect to Hazardous Materials and Environmental Laws relating to the Property as provided in this Indemnity Agreement, and not as security for payment of the indebtedness of Borrowers to Lenders evidenced by the Notes or performance of the obligations under the Deed of Trust. The obligations of Indemnitors under this Indemnity Agreement are separate from, independent of and in addition to the indebtedness and obligations under the Notes and the Deed of Trust. The liability of Indemnitors under this Indemnity Agreement shall not be limited to or measured by the amount of the indebtedness owed under the Notes or the Deed of Trust or the value of the Property. This Indemnity Agreement is intended to be supplemental, and not in derogation of, Agents and Lenders’ rights under California Civil Code Section 2929.5 and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 564, 726.5 and 736 and any successor sections thereof. This Indemnity Agreement is not, and shall not be deemed to be, secured by the Deed of Trust. Indemnitors shall be fully, personally, jointly, and severally liable for all obligations of Indemnitors under this Indemnity Agreement and a separate action may be brought and prosecuted against Indemnitors on this Indemnity Agreement.

(b) The liability of Indemnitors under the Indemnity Agreement shall not be subject to any limitation set forth in the Notes, the Deed of Trust, or any of them, on personal liability for the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, or the remedies of Agent and Lenders for enforcement of the obligations under the Notes or the Deed of Trust, or the recourse of Lender for satisfaction of such obligations. Each Indemnitor acknowledges that no action for the enforcement of, or recovery of damages under, this Indemnity Agreement shall constitute either an action or a failure to foreclose first against the Deed of Trust within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726, which shall not apply to this Indemnity Agreement, and no judgment against any Indemnitors in any action pursuant to this Indemnity Agreement shall constitute a money judgment or a deficiency judgment within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726. Except as otherwise set forth in Sections 6 and 23 hereof, this Indemnity Agreement and the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall survive, and remain in full force and effect after a full conveyance of any foreclosure sale under the Deed of Trust (whether by judicial action, exercise of the power of sale, or otherwise) with respect to any release or threatened releases or any past, present or future

 

-13-


violation of any Environmental Laws at the Property which occurred, or the onset of which occurred, before the reconveyance or foreclosure sale, and Agent and Lenders shall have the right to enforce this Indemnity Agreement after any such reconveyance or foreclosure sale.

(c) This Indemnity Agreement shall not affect, impair or waive any rights or remedies of Agent and Lenders or any obligations of Indemnitors with respect to Hazardous Materials created or imposed by Environmental Laws (including Agent’s and Lenders’ rights of reimbursement or contribution under any Environmental Law). The remedies in the Indemnity Agreement are cumulative and in addition to all remedies provided by law.

(d) Property Borrower represents and warranties that, to its knowledge, (i) the Land has not been designated as “border zone property” under the provisions of California Health and Safety Code Section 25220 et seq. or any regulation adopted in accordance therewith; and (ii) and there has been no occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Land that is reasonably likely to cause the Land or any part thereof to be designated as border zone property.

(e) Each Indemnitor hereby waives and relinquishes to the fullest extent now or hereafter not prohibited by applicable law all suretyship defenses and defenses in the nature thereof, including without limitation any such defenses that may arise under or by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive. In addition, the provisions of Section 9.15 of the Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

This Section is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Indemnitor may have in the event that the Loan is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

22. Captions. The headings of each section herein are for convenience only and do not limit or construe the contents of any provisions of this Indemnity Agreement.

23. Full Recourse; Survival. The indemnity and other obligations contained in this Indemnity Agreement are not subject to any non-recourse or other limitation of liability provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents, and the liability of the Indemnitors pursuant to this Indemnity Agreement shall not be limited by any such non-recourse or similar limitation of liability provisions. All representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations of the Indemnitors in this Indemnity Agreement shall survive the payment or other satisfaction of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, after the release by Agent of its security interest in the Property, the Indemnitors shall have the right to obtain a Phase I environmental site assessment for the benefit of Indemnitors and Agent, and in the event that such environmental site assessment demonstrates that there are no recognized environmental conditions on the Property, and is otherwise satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion, Agent shall release the Indemnitors from their covenants and obligations hereunder, and this Indemnity Agreement shall terminate.

24. Environmental Indemnity Not Secured by Liens. By acceptance of this Indemnity Agreement, Agent and Lenders confirm their agreement and understanding that the obligations of the Indemnitors under this Indemnity Agreement be and remain unsecured by any interest in

the Property. In this regard, Agent’s appraisal of the value of the Property is such that Agent and Lenders are not willing to accept the consequences, under California’s “One Form of Action” Rule (i.e., Section 726 of the Code of Civil Procedure) and “Anti Deficiency Rules” (i.e., Sections 580a, 580b and 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure) of inclusion of this Indemnity Agreement among the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust. The Indemnitors acknowledge that Agent and Lenders are unwilling to accept such consequences and that Lenders would not make the Loan but for the personal unsecured liability undertaken by the Indemnitors.

25. Independent Obligations; Conflict; Joint and Several Liability. The obligations of the Indemnitors and the rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders in this Indemnity Agreement are independent from and are in addition to those pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents. Each party executing this Indemnity Agreement shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of the Indemnitors under this Indemnity Agreement.
