TRUSTOR COVENANTS

 

Section 2.01 DUE AUTHORIZATION, EXECUTION, AND DELIVERY.

(b) Trustor represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation and is qualified to do business in the State, that it has all necessary licenses, authorizations, registrations, permits and/or approvals to own its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted.

 

(c) Trustor represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents will not result in Trustor’s being in default under any provision of its organizational documents or of any deed of trust, mortgage, lease, credit or other agreement to which it is a party or which affects it or the Property.

 

(d) Trustor represents and warrants that the Loan Documents and the Indemnity Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Trustor and constitute valid and binding obligations of Trustor which are enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws limiting the rights of creditors generally.

 

11
 

 

Section 2.02 PERFORMANCE BY TRUSTOR. Trustor shall pay the Secured Indebtedness to Beneficiary and shall keep and perform each and every other obligation, covenant and agreement of the Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.03 WARRANTY OF TITLE.

 

(a) Trustor warrants that, except as otherwise disclosed in the title insurance policy accepted by Beneficiary in connection with the Loan, it holds marketable and indefeasible fee simple absolute title to the Real Property, and that it has the right and is lawfully authorized to sell, convey or encumber the Property subject only to those property specific exceptions to title recorded in the real estate records of the County and contained in Schedule B-1 of the title insurance policy or policies which have been approved by Beneficiary (the “Permitted Exceptions”). The Property is free from all due and unpaid taxes, assessments and mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens other than Permitted Exceptions.

 

(b) Trustor further covenants to warrant and forever defend Beneficiary and Trustee and their respective interests in the Property from and against all persons claiming any interest in the Property, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances (provided, however, that the foregoing exception shall not reduce Trustor’s obligation to comply with Section 2.10 if applicable to such Permitted Encumbrances).

 

(c) “Permitted Encumbrances” shall mean:

 

(1)     liens for Impositions not yet due and payable or liens arising after the date hereof which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; promptly instituted and diligently conducted in compliance with Section 2.10 hereof (including mechanics liens and other statutory liens, in each case satisfying the foregoing criteria);

 

(2)     immaterial easements and rights of way, the exercise of rights under which do not adversely affect the current use and operation of the Property;

 

(3)     Permitted Exceptions (defined above);

 

(4)     liens in favor of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents;

 

(5)     rights of existing and future Tenants, as tenants only, pursuant to Leases (as hereafter defined in Section 5.02 hereof) existing as of the date hereof or entered into in accordance with Article V hereof;

 

(6)     liens of Permitted Equipment Financing (as defined in Section 10.03 hereof); and

 

12
 

 

(7)     such other title exceptions as Beneficiary (and, if applicable, the applicable Rating Agencies) may approve in writing in their sole discretion.

 

Section 2.04 TAXES, LIENS AND OTHER CHARGES.

 

(a) Unless otherwise paid to Beneficiary as provided in Section 2.05, Trustor shall pay all real estate and other taxes and assessments which are payable, assessed, levied, imposed upon or become a lien on or against any portion of the Property (all of the foregoing items are collectively referred to as the Imposition(s)”). Subject to the Trustor’s right to contest as set forth in Section 2.10 below, the Impositions shall be paid not later than ten (10) days before the dates on which the particular Imposition would become delinquent and Trustor shall produce to Beneficiary receipts of the imposing authority, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, evidencing the payment of the Imposition in full.

 

(b) In the event of the passage, after the Execution Date, of any law which deducts from the value of the Property, for the purposes of taxation, any lien or security interest encumbering the Property, or changing in any way the existing laws regarding the taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust and/or security agreements or debts secured by these instruments, or changing the manner for the collection of any such taxes, and the law has the effect of imposing payment of any Impositions upon Beneficiary, at Beneficiary’s option, the Secured Indebtedness shall immediately become due and payable. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Beneficiary’s election to accelerate the Loan shall not be effective if (1) Trustor is permitted by law (including, without limitation, applicable interest rate laws) to, and actually does, pay the Imposition or the increased portion of the Imposition and (2) Trustor agrees in writing to pay or reimburse Beneficiary in accordance with Section 11.06 for the payment of any such Imposition which becomes payable at any time when the Loan is outstanding.

 

Section 2.05 ESCROW DEPOSITS. Without limiting the effect of Section 2.04 and Section 3.01, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary monthly on the same date that the monthly installment is payable under the Note, an amount equal to 1/12th of the amounts Beneficiary reasonably estimates are necessary to pay the following, on an annualized basis, (1) all Impositions and (2) the premiums for the insurance policies required under this Deed of Trust (collectively the “Premiums”) until such time each year as Trustor has deposited an amount equal to the annual charges for these items, and within 10 days after demand from time to time, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary any additional amounts necessary to pay the Premiums and Impositions. Except when escrow deposits for the same are not required hereunder, Trustor will furnish to Beneficiary bills for Impositions and Premiums thirty (30) days before Impositions become delinquent and such Premiums become due for payment. No amounts paid as Impositions or Premiums shall be deemed to be trust funds and these funds may be commingled with the general funds of Beneficiary without any requirement to pay interest to Trustor on account of these funds. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Beneficiary shall have the right, at its election, to apply any amounts held under this Section 2.05 in reduction of the Secured Indebtedness, or in payment of the Premiums or Impositions for which the amounts were deposited.

 

13
 

 

However, with respect to deposits of Premiums only, Trustor shall not be required to make these deposits unless (i) Trustor fails to deliver the required receipts or proof of insurance, as applicable, within 10 Business Days (as defined in the Note) after written notice from Beneficiary where Trustor shall have failed to furnish either of the following as and when specified: (A) draft form certificates of insurance satisfying the requirements of the Loan Documents or a letter from Trustor’s broker providing reasonable assurance that conforming replacement insurance will be timely obtained, which draft certificates or letter shall be delivered not later than 10 days before the dates on which any premiums would become delinquent or the date any required policy is scheduled to expire, or (B) certificates evidencing issuance and payment of premiums for the replacement insurance satisfying the requirements of the Loan Documents, which certificates shall be delivered at least one Business Day prior such scheduled expiration date, or (ii) there is an Event of Default, or (iii) Trustor no longer owns the Property, or (iv) there has been a change in Trustor or in the direct or indirect owners thereof, which change is not permitted under Article X hereof and is not otherwise consented to by Beneficiary (which consent Beneficiary may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion and may grant subject to such conditions as Beneficiary may determine, including conditions that abrogate the foregoing provision).

 

In addition, with respect to deposits of Impositions, Trustor shall not be required to make these deposits unless (i) there is an Event of Default, or (ii) Trustor no longer owns the Property, or (iii) there has been a change in Trustor or in the direct or indirect owners thereof, which change is not permitted under Article X hereof and is not otherwise consented to by Beneficiary (which consent Beneficiary may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion and may grant subject to such conditions as Beneficiary may determine, including conditions that abrogate the foregoing provision).

 

Section 2.06 CARE AND USE OF THE PROPERTY.

 

(a) Trustor represents and warrants to Beneficiary as follows:

 

(i) All authorizations, licenses, including without limitation liquor licenses, if any, and operating permits required to allow the Improvements to be operated for the Use are in full force and effect.

 

14
 

 

(ii) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Property Condition Assessment Report dated July 11, 2013 and prepared by McDonnell Group and obtained by Beneficiary in connection with the Loan (the Property Condition Report”), the Improvements and their Use comply in all material respects with (and no notices of violation have been received in connection with) all Requirements (as defined in this Section) and Trustor shall at all times comply in all material respects with all present or future Requirements affecting or relating to the Property and/or the Use. Trustor shall furnish Beneficiary, on request, proof of compliance with the Requirements. Trustor shall not use or permit the use of the Property, or any part thereof, for any illegal purpose. Requirements shall mean all laws, ordinances, orders, covenants, conditions and restrictions (including, without limitation, the REA) and other requirements relating to land and building design and construction, use and maintenance, that may now or hereafter pertain to or affect the Property or any part of the Property or the Use, including, without limitation, planning, zoning, subdivision, environmental, air quality, flood hazard, fire safety, handicapped facilities, building, parking, health, fire, traffic, safety, wetlands, coastal and other governmental or regulatory rules, laws, ordinances, statutes, codes and requirements applicable to the Property, including permits, licenses and/or certificates that may be necessary from time to time to comply with any of the these requirements. As used herein, the “REA” shall mean that certain Amended and Restated Owners’ Operating and Reciprocal Easement Agreement dated June 20, 1986 by and among Seventh Street Plaza Associates, The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles, California, and PPLA Plaza Limited Partnership (the “Original REA”) recorded as Instrument No. 87-885291 in the official records of Los Angeles County, California, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Owners’ Operating and Reciprocal Easement Agreement dated December 5, 1990 (“Amendment No. 1”) and as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Owners’ Operating and Reciprocal Easement Agreement dated January 1, 1993, as the same may be further amended.

 

(iii) To the Trustor’s knowledge, Trustor is not in default of its material obligations under any instruments and agreements affecting the Property, whether or not of record, including without limitation all covenants and agreements by and between Trustor and any governmental or regulatory agency pertaining to the development, use or operation of the Property. Trustor, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep the Property in good order, condition, and repair, and make all necessary structural and non-structural, ordinary and extraordinary repairs to the Property and the Improvements.

 

(iv) Trustor shall abstain from, and not knowingly permit, the commission of physical waste to the Property and shall not remove or alter in any material manner, the structure or character of any Improvements (other than to comply with the Requirements) without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

(v) The zoning approval for the Property is not dependent upon the ownership or use of any property which is not encumbered by this Deed of Trust.

 

(vi) Construction of the Improvements on the Property is complete.

 

(vii) To Trustor’s knowledge, except as disclosed in the Property Condition Report, the Property is in good repair and condition, free of any material damage.

 

15
 

 

(b) Beneficiary shall have the right upon reasonable prior notice, at any time and from time to time during normal business hours, subject to the rights of Tenants, to enter the Property in order to ascertain Trustor’s compliance with the Loan Documents, to examine the condition of the Property, to perform an appraisal, to undertake surveying or engineering work, and to inspect premises occupied by tenants. Trustor shall reasonably cooperate with Beneficiary performing these inspections. Beneficiary shall be accompanied by a representative of Trustor in such entry provided that Trustor makes such representative available upon such prior reasonable notice, and in any event, within 2 Business Days after notice of Beneficiary’s intent to enter the Property. Beneficiary’s rights hereunder include its rights under California Civil Code Section 2929.5, as such Section may be amended from time to time. Trustor shall pay all costs incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any such inspections, except as may otherwise be provided in such Section 2929.5.

 

(c) Trustor shall use, or cause to be used, the Property continuously for the Use. Trustor shall not use, or permit the use of, the Property for any other use without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Trustor shall not file or record a declaration of condominium, master deed of trust or mortgage or any other similar document evidencing the imposition of a so-called “condominium regime” whether superior or subordinate to this Deed of Trust and Trustor shall not permit any part of the Property to be converted to, or operated as, a “cooperative apartment house” whereby the tenants or occupants participate in the ownership, management or control of any part of the Property.

 

(d) Without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, Trustor shall not (i) initiate or acquiesce in a change in the zoning classification of and/or restrictive covenants affecting the Property, or seek any variance under existing zoning ordinances, (ii) use or permit the use of the Property in a manner which may result in the Use becoming a non-conforming use under applicable zoning ordinances, or (iii) subject the Property to restrictive covenants, or (iv) amend or modify the REA; provided that nothing in this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document shall preclude Trustor from entering into the New Co-Ownership Agreement or the Third REA Amendment, in each case as defined in, in accordance with, and/or as required by (as applicable) the Closing Certificate and Post Closing Agreement.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Trustor to pay, or cause to be paid, any Imposition, to satisfy any lien, or to comply with any legal requirement, so long as Trustor is in good faith, and by proper legal proceedings, where appropriate, diligently contesting the validity, amount or application thereof, provided that in each case, at the time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding, and during the pendency of such action or proceeding (i) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing hereunder, (ii) Trustor shall keep Beneficiary apprised of the status of such contest, (iii) if Trustor is not providing security as provided in clause (v) below, adequate reserves, as reasonably determined by Beneficiary (but in no event less than the amount of the security that would be required if clause (v) hereof were applicable thereto), with respect thereto are maintained on Trustor’s books in accordance with GAAP, (iv) unless such contest is in the form of a request for a refund of amounts previously paid, such contest operates to suspend collection or enforcement as the case may be, of the contested Imposition or lien and such contest is maintained and prosecuted continuously and with diligence or, in the case of an Imposition or lien, such Imposition or lien is bonded (with the effect under applicable statute that the applicable Imposition or lien is lifted from the Property), and (v) in the case of Impositions and liens in excess of $500,000 individually, or in the aggregate, during such contest, Trustor shall provide security reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary (which may include the deposit of such amount with Beneficiary) in an amount equal to 110% of (A) the amount of Trustor’s obligations being contested plus (B) any additional interest, charge, or penalty arising (or reasonably likely to arise) from such contest; provided, that the required amount of such security or reserve shall be reduced by any cash deposit required by applicable law in connection with such contest, which deposit has been made by Trustor with the appropriate governmental authority. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the creation of any such reserves or the furnishing of any bond or other security, Trustor promptly shall comply with any contested legal requirement or shall pay any contested Imposition or lien, and compliance therewith or payment thereof shall not be deferred, if, at any time the Property or any portion thereof shall be, in Beneficiary’s reasonable judgment, in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost or if, in Beneficiary’s reasonable judgment, Beneficiary is likely to be subject to civil or criminal damages, or other fines or penalties as a result thereof. If such action or proceeding is terminated or discontinued adversely to Trustor, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary reasonable evidence of Trustor’s compliance with such contested Imposition, lien or legal requirement, as the case may be.

 

17

21

This report is to be completed by a recognized risk modeling company (e.g. RMS, EQE, AIR) approved by Beneficiary.

 

(e) All Policies provided for in this Deed of Trust shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(1)   no act or negligence of Trustor, or anyone acting for Trustor, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Beneficiary is concerned;

 

(2)   the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Beneficiary and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

(3)   the issuers thereof shall give notice to Beneficiary if the Policies have not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(4)   Beneficiary shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(f) Subject to Section 3.01(g) as to when certificates of insurance may be delivered in lieu of complete insurance policies, Trustor shall be required during the term of the Loan to continue to provide Beneficiary with original renewal policies or replacements of the insurance policies referenced in Subsection 3.01 (a). If Trustor fails to obtain or maintain insurance policies and coverages as required by this Section 3.01 (Required Insurance”) then Beneficiary shall have the right but shall not have the obligation immediately, to procure any Required Insurance at Trustor’s cost.

 

22
 

 

(g) If Certificates of Insurance are provided in forms satisfactory to Beneficiary, Beneficiary will accept Certificates of Insurance evidencing insurance policies referenced in this Section 3.01 instead of requiring the actual policies. Beneficiary shall be provided with renewal Certificates of Insurance, or Binders, prior to each expiration. To the extent the Certificates of Insurance provided by Trustor are unacceptable to Beneficiary or otherwise insufficient for Beneficiary’s purposes, upon request, Trustor shall provide to Beneficiary certified copies of the policies, and any endorsements thereto. Beneficiary shall retain copies of such policies (as distinguished from Certificates of Insurance) confidential, provided that Beneficiary may disclose the same: (a) to Beneficiary’s affiliates, Investors (as defined in Article XII hereof), participants, successors and/or assigns, (b) to any regulatory authority, rating agencies, auditors or governmental or quasi-governmental agencies having jurisdiction over Beneficiary, and (c) as required by law, in the case that such policies must be disclosed pursuant to law. The failure of Trustor to maintain the insurance required under this Article III shall not constitute a waiver of Trustor’s obligation to fulfill these requirements.

 

(h) All binders, policies, endorsements, certificates, and cancellation notices are to be sent to the Beneficiary’s Address for Insurance Notification as set forth in the Defined Terms until changed by notice from Beneficiary.

 

Section 3.02 ADJUSTMENT OF CLAIMS. In the event of any damage, destruction or Condemnation (as defined in Article VII), provided that no Event of Default or Impairment of the Security (as defined in Article VII) exists, then Trustor shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise the applicable claims against either the insurer or the condemning authority (a) without Beneficiary’s consent where the total loss is reasonably estimated by Beneficiary to be equal to or less than the Materiality Threshold (as defined in Article VII), and (b) subject to the reasonable approval of Beneficiary where the total loss is greater than the Materiality Threshold. In all other cases, Trustor hereby authorizes and empowers Beneficiary to settle, adjust or compromise any claims for damage to, or loss or destruction of, all or a portion of the Property, regardless of whether there are Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation proceeds available or whether any such Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation proceeds, as applicable, are sufficient in amount to fully compensate for such damage, loss or destruction.

 

Section 3.03 ASSIGNMENT TO BENEFICIARY. To the extent the insurance requirements in this Section 3.01 are satisfied using a stand-alone policy(ies) covering only the Property, then in the event of the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or other transfer of the title to the Property in extinguishment of the Secured Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Trustor in and to such insurance policy(ies), or premiums or payments in satisfaction of claims or any other rights under these insurance policy(ies) shall pass to the transferee of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the extent the insurance requirements in this Section 3.01 are satisfied using a blanket policy then in the event of the foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of the title to the Property in extinguishment of the Secured Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Beneficiary in and to any premiums or payments in satisfaction of claims or any other rights under such insurance policy(ies) relating to the Property shall pass to the transferee of the Property.

Any deemed approval of Beneficiary to a submitted Lease or Lease amendment or other matter shall not constitute Beneficiary’s consent to any provision of such submitted Lease or Lease amendment or agreement reflecting such other matter and such deemed approval shall not obligate Beneficiary to take any further action relating to such Lease or Lease amendment or other matter, including but not limited to issuing a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement.

Section 5.04 SUBORDINATE LEASES. Each Lease affecting the Property entered into on or after the date hereof, shall be absolutely subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust and shall also contain a provision, satisfactory to Beneficiary, to the effect that in the event of the judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of the Property, at the election of the acquiring foreclosure purchaser, the particular Lease shall not be terminated and the tenant shall attorn to the purchaser, and that if requested to do so, the tenant shall enter into a new Lease for the balance of the term upon the same terms and conditions. If Beneficiary requests, Trustor shall cause a tenant or tenants to enter into subordination and attornment agreements or nondisturbance agreement with Beneficiary on forms which have been approved by Beneficiary.

Section 7.01 TRUSTOR’S REPRESENTATIONS.

 

Trustor represents and warrants as follows:

 

(a) Except as expressly approved by Beneficiary in writing, to Trustor’s knowledge, no casualty or damage to any part of the Property which would cost more than $50,000 to restore or replace has occurred which has not been fully restored or replaced.

 

(b) To Trustor’s knowledge, Trustor has not received notice that any part of the Property has been taken in condemnation or other similar proceeding or transferred in lieu of condemnation, nor has Trustor received notice of any proposed condemnation or other similar proceeding affecting the Property.

 

(c) There is no pending proceeding for the total or partial condemnation of the Property.

 

Section 7.02 RESTORATION.

 

(a) Trustor shall give to Beneficiary prompt written notice of any casualty to the Property, whether or not required to be insured against, if Trustor’s reasonable estimate of the cost of Restoration exceeds $2,000,000. The notice shall describe the nature and cause of the casualty and the extent of the damage to the Property. Trustor covenants and agrees to commence and diligently pursue to completion the Restoration.

 

(b) Trustor assigns to Beneficiary all Insurance Proceeds which Trustor is entitled to receive in connection with a casualty whether or not such insurance is required under this Deed of Trust. In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property and provided (1) an Event of Default does not currently exist, and (2) Beneficiary has reasonably determined that (i) there has not been an Impairment of the Security (as defined in Subsection 7.02 (c)), and (ii) the repair, restoration and rebuilding of any portion of the Property that has been partially damaged or destroyed (the “Restoration”) can be accomplished in compliance with applicable Requirements to substantially the same condition, character and general utility as nearly as possible to that existing prior to the casualty and at least equal in value as that existing prior to the casualty, the Net Insurance Proceeds shall be applied to the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Article. In the event of any casualty with respect to which Beneficiary reasonably estimates the cost of Restoration to exceed $6,000,000 (the Materiality Threshold”) Beneficiary shall hold and disburse the Insurance Proceeds less the actual out-of-pocket cost, if any, to Beneficiary of recovering the Insurance Proceeds including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and adjusters’ fees (the Net Insurance Proceeds”) to the Restoration. In the event of any damage or destruction of the Property with respect to which Trustor reasonably estimates the cost of restoration to be equal to or less than the Materiality Threshold, Trustor shall be entitled to hold the Net Insurance Proceeds and apply the same to the Restoration, and any Net Insurance Proceeds remaining after completion of such Restoration shall be retained by Trustor.

 

29
 

 

(c) For the purpose of this Article, Impairment of the Security shall mean any or all of the following: (i) Beneficiary determines in its reasonable discretion that the combination of rental loss insurance and the rent projected to be paid under Leases with respect to which no terminations rights are triggered by the applicable casualty or Condemnation (taking into account the applicable circumstances) will be sufficient to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 (as reasonably calculated by Beneficiary) throughout the Restoration, any applicable period of re-leasing; and/or (ii) the casualty or damage exceeds the Materiality Threshold and the time to substantially complete Restoration of the Property is reasonably estimated by Beneficiary to extend beyond the 60th day prior to maturity of the Loan.

 

(d) If the Net Insurance Proceeds are to be used for the Restoration in accordance with this Article, and to the extent Beneficiary is entitled to hold the Net Insurance Proceeds in accordance with the Loan Documents, Trustor shall comply with Beneficiary’s Requirements For Restoration as set forth in Section 7.04 below. Upon Trustor’s satisfaction and completion of the Requirements For Restoration and upon confirmation that there is no Event of Default then existing, Beneficiary shall pay any remaining Restoration Funds (as defined in Section 7.04 below) then held by Beneficiary to Trustor.

 

(e) In the event that the conditions for Restoration set forth in this Section have not been met, Beneficiary may, at its option, apply the Net Insurance Proceeds to the reduction of the Secured Indebtedness in such order as Beneficiary may determine (and without payment of any Prepayment Fee in connection with such application of Net Insurance Proceeds). After payment in full of the Secured Indebtedness, any remaining Restoration Funds shall be paid to Trustor.

 

Section 7.03 CONDEMNATION.

 

(a) If the Property or any part of the Property is taken by reason of any condemnation or similar eminent domain proceeding, or by a grant or conveyance in lieu of condemnation or eminent domain (Condemnation”), Beneficiary shall be entitled to all compensation, awards, damages, proceeds and payments or relief for the Condemnation (Condemnation Proceeds”). Trustor shall give to Beneficiary prompt written notice of any written notice received by Trustor regarding any pending or threatened Condemnation action. Claims with respect to any Condemnation shall be settled in accordance with Section 3.02 hereof.

 

30
 

 

(b) Trustor assigns to Beneficiary all Condemnation Proceeds which Trustor is entitled to receive. In the event of any Condemnation, and provided (1) an Event of Default does not currently exist, and (2) Beneficiary has determined that (i) there has not been an Impairment of the Security, and (ii) the Restoration of any portion of the Property that has not been taken can be accomplished in compliance with applicable Requirements to substantially the same condition, character and general utility as nearly as possible to that existing prior to the taking and at least equal in value as that existing prior to the taking, then Trustor shall commence and diligently pursue to completion the Restoration and the Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be applied to the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Article. In the event of any damage or destruction of the Property with respect to which Beneficiary reasonably estimates the cost of restoration to exceed the Materiality Threshold, Beneficiary shall hold and disburse the Condemnation Proceeds less the actual out-of-pocket cost, if any, to Beneficiary of recovering the Condemnation Proceeds including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and adjusters’ fees (the Net Condemnation Proceeds”) to the Restoration. In the event of any damage or destruction of the Property with respect to which Beneficiary reasonably estimates the cost of restoration to be equal to or less than the Materiality Threshold, Trustor shall be entitled to hold the Net Condemnation Proceeds and apply the same to the Restoration.

 

(c) In the event the Net Condemnation Proceeds are to be used for the Restoration, and to the extent Beneficiary is entitled to hold the Net Condemnation Proceeds in accordance with the Loan Documents, Trustor shall comply with Beneficiary’s Requirements For Restoration as set forth in Section 7.04 below. Upon Trustor’s satisfaction and completion of the Requirements For Restoration and upon confirmation that there is no Event of Default then existing, Beneficiary shall pay any remaining Restoration Funds (as defined in Section 7.04 below) then held by Beneficiary to Trustor.

 

(d) In the event that the conditions for Restoration set forth in this Section have not been met, Beneficiary may, at its option, apply the Net Condemnation Proceeds to the reduction of the Secured Indebtedness in such order as Beneficiary may determine (and without payment of any Prepayment Fee in connection with such application of Net Condemnation Proceeds). After payment in full of the Secured Indebtedness, any remaining Restoration Funds shall be paid to Trustor.

 

Section 7.04 REQUIREMENTS FOR RESTORATION. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in a writing signed by Beneficiary, the following are the Requirements For Restoration that are applicable for a Restoration that exceeds the Materiality Threshold:

In the event a surety bond is provided, such bond shall be reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary in form and amount and shall be signed by a surety reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary.

 

(b) Trustor shall not commence the Work, other than temporary work to protect the Property or prevent interference with business, until Trustor shall have complied with the requirements of subsection (a) of this Section 7.04. So long as there does not currently exist an Event of Default and the following conditions have been complied with or, in Beneficiary’s reasonable discretion, waived, Beneficiary shall disburse the Restoration Funds in increments to Trustor, from time to time as the Work progresses:

 

(i) Architect shall supervise the Work to confirm compliance in with the Approved Plans and Specifications.

 

(ii) Beneficiary shall disburse the Restoration Funds directly or through escrow with a title company selected by Trustor and approved by Beneficiary, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice from Trustor to Beneficiary and Trustor’s delivery to Beneficiary of (A) Trustor’s written request for payment (a Request for Payment”) accompanied by a certificate by Architect in a form reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary which states that (a) all of the Work completed to that date has been completed in substantial compliance with the Approved Plans and Specifications and in accordance with applicable Requirements, (b) the amount requested has been paid or is then due and payable and is properly a part of the cost of the Work, and (c) when added to all sums previously paid by Beneficiary, the requested amount does not exceed the value of the Work completed to the date of such certificate; and (B) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary that the balance of the Restoration Funds remaining after making the payments shall be sufficient to pay the balance of the cost of the Work. Each Request for Payment shall be accompanied by (x) waivers of liens covering that part of the Work previously paid for (except where no lien right exists because of the nature of the work), if any (y) a title search or by other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other similar liens for labor or materials supplied in connection with the Work have been filed against the Property and not discharged of record unless the same are being contested in compliance with Section 2.10 hereof, and (z) an endorsement to Beneficiary’s title policy insuring that no encumbrance exists on or affects the Property other than the Permitted Encumbrances.

 

32
 

 

(iii) The final Request for Payment shall be accompanied by (i) a final certificate of occupancy (or a temporary certificate of occupancy if all conditions thereto are satisfactory to Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion) or other evidence of approval of appropriate governmental authorities for the use and occupancy of the Improvements, (ii) evidence that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the Approved Plans and Specifications and applicable Requirements, (iii) evidence that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full, and (iv) evidence that no mechanic’s or similar liens for labor or material supplied in connection with the Restoration are outstanding against the Property (or, if they are, that the same have are being contested in compliance with Section 2.10 hereof), including final waivers of liens covering all of the Work (except for those liens being contested in compliance with Section 2.10 hereof) and an endorsement to Beneficiary’s title policy insuring that no encumbrance exists on or affects the Property other than the Permitted Encumbrances.

 

(c) If (i) within ninety (90) days after days after the occurrence of any damage, destruction or condemnation, with respect to which Beneficiary reasonably estimates the cost of Restoration to exceed the Materiality Threshold, Trustor fails to submit to Beneficiary and receive Beneficiary’s approval of plans and specifications or fails to deposit with Beneficiary the additional amount necessary to accomplish the Restoration as provided in subparagraph (a) above (provided that if Trustor is unable to submit the plans and specification within such 90 day period, Trustor shall have such period of time as is reasonably required to provide the same, so long as Trustor has promptly commenced and pursues with diligence the completion and delivery of such plans and specifications), or (ii) after such plans and specifications are approved by all such governmental authorities and Beneficiary, Trustor fails to commence promptly or diligently continue to completion the Restoration, or (iii) unless the same is being contested in compliance with Section 2.10 hereof, Trustor becomes delinquent in payment to mechanics, materialmen or others for the costs incurred in connection with the Restoration for any reason other than Beneficiary’s failure to disburse Net Proceeds in accordance with this Agreement or (iv) there exists an Event of Default, then, in addition to all of the rights herein set forth and after ten (10) days’ written notice of the non-fulfillment of one or more of these conditions, Beneficiary may apply the Restoration Funds to reduce the Secured Indebtedness in such order as Beneficiary may determine, and at Beneficiary’s option and in its sole discretion, Beneficiary may declare the Secured Indebtedness immediately due and payable together with the Prepayment Fee (as defined in the Note).

(d) In providing organizational documents as may be required under Subsection 10.04(b) and (c) hereof, Trustor shall be entitled to redact such organizational documents as necessary to protect Trustor’s (and Trustor’s Constituents’) confidential information, so long as Beneficiary’s objectives as described in this Section 10.04 herein can, as determined by Beneficiary in Beneficiary’s reasonable discretion, be satisfied by the documents in the form delivered. Furthermore, in the event such documents are provided in accordance with 10.04(c), Trustor shall be required only to provide: (i) all provisions establishing control of the entity (including definitions for any defined terms used therein), and (ii) a certificate from Trustor in favor of Lender confirming that all provisions governing control of applicable entity have been provided.

41
 

 

(a) Foreclosure. Institute a foreclosure action in accordance with the law of the State, or take any other action as may be allowed, at law or in equity, for the enforcement of the Loan Documents and realization on the Property or any other security afforded by the Loan Documents. In the case of a judicial proceeding, Beneficiary may proceed to final judgment and execution for the amount of the Secured Indebtedness owed as of the date of the judgment, together with all costs of suit, reasonable attorneys’ fees and interest on the judgment at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of the judgment until paid. If Beneficiary is the purchaser at the foreclosure sale of the Property, the foreclosure sale price shall be applied against the total amount due Beneficiary; and/or

 

(b) Power of Sale. Institute a non-judicial foreclosure proceeding in compliance with applicable law in effect on the date foreclosure is commenced for the Trustee to sell the Property either as a whole or in separate parcels as Beneficiary may determine at public sale or sales to the highest bidder for cash, in order to pay the Secured Indebtedness. If the Property is sold as separate parcels, Beneficiary may direct the order in which the parcels are sold. Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser a Trustee’s deed or deeds without covenant or warranty, express or implied. Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at the time and place of sale, and from time to time may further postpone the sale by public announcement in accordance with applicable law; and/or

 

(c) Entry. Enter into possession of the Property, lease the Improvements, collect all Rents and Profits and, after deducting all costs of collection and administration expenses, apply the remaining Rents and Profits in such order and amounts as Beneficiary, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, may elect to the payment of Impositions, operating costs, costs of maintenance, restoration and repairs, Premiums and other charges, including, but not limited to, costs of leasing the Property and fees and costs of counsel and receivers, and in reduction of the Secured Indebtedness; and/or

 

(d) Receivership. Have a receiver appointed to enter into possession of the Property, lease the Property, collect the Rents and Profits and apply them as the appropriate court may direct. Beneficiary shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver without the necessity of proving either the inadequacy of the security or the insolvency of Trustor or Liable Party. Trustor and Liable Party shall be deemed to have consented to the appointment of the receiver. The collection or receipt of any of the Rents and Profits by Beneficiary or any receiver shall not affect or cure any Event of Default. Beneficiary’s rights hereunder include its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 564, as such Section may be amended from time to time; and/or

 

(e) Action for Breach of Contract. In accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736, as such Section may be amended from time to time, Beneficiary may bring an action for breach of contract against Trustor for breach of any “environmental provision” (as such term is defined in such Section) made by Trustor herein or in any other Loan Document, for the recovery of damages and/or for the enforcement of the environmental provision; and/or

 

42
 

 

(f) Waiver of Security. In accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, as such Section may be amended from time to time, Beneficiary may waive the security of this Deed of Trust as to any parcel of Real Property that is “environmentally impaired” or is an “affected parcel” (as such terms are defined in such Section), and as to any Personal Property attached to such parcel, and thereafter exercise against Trustor, to the extent permitted by such Section 726.5, the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of Beneficiary’s claim against Trustor to judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted by law. Trustor and Beneficiary acknowledge that pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, Beneficiary’s rights under this Section 11.02 are limited to instances in which Trustor or any affiliate, agent, co-tenant, partner or joint venturer of Trustor either (i) caused, contributed to, permitted or acquiesced in the release (as defined in such Section 726.5) or threatened release of Hazardous Materials, or (ii) had actual knowledge or notice of such release or threatened release prior to the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and failed to disclose such release or threatened release to Beneficiary in writing after Beneficiary’s written request for information concerning the environmental condition of the Property, unless Beneficiary otherwise obtained actual knowledge of such release or threatened release prior to the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust.

 

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 Trustor on an unsecured basis, the valuation of the Real 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 M.A.I. appraiser selected by Beneficiary and approved by Trustor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The decision of such referee shall be binding upon both Trustor 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. Trustor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any proceeding under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, as such Section may be amended from time to time.

 

Section 11.03 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE. In the event of a sale of the Property pursuant to Section 11.02 of this Deed of Trust, to the extent permitted by law, the Beneficiary shall determine in its sole discretion the order in which the proceeds from the sale shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness, including without limitation, the expenses of the sale and of all proceedings in connection with the sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses; Impositions, Premiums, liens, and other charges and expenses; the outstanding principal balance of the Secured Indebtedness; any accrued interest; any Prepayment Fee; and any other amounts owed under any of the Loan Documents.

 

Section 11.04 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Trustor and Beneficiary HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY in any action, proceeding and/or hearing on any matter whatsoever arising out of, or in any way connected with, the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the Loan Documents, or the enforcement of any remedy under any law, statute, or regulation. Neither party will seek to consolidate any such action in which a jury has been waived, with any other action in which a jury trial cannot or has not been waived. Each party has received the advice of counsel with respect to this waiver.

Beneficiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Trustor notice of such payment or performance by Beneficiary concurrently therewith, provided that Beneficiary’s failure to deliver such notice shall not constitute a default hereunder.

Section 11.12 DURATION OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur (irrespective of whether or not the same consists of an ongoing condition, a one-time occurrence, or otherwise), the same shall be deemed to continue at all times thereafter; provided, however, that such Event of Default shall cease to continue only if Beneficiary shall accept performance of the defaulted obligation or shall execute and deliver a written agreement in which Beneficiary expressly states that such Event of Default has ceased to continue.
