Item 1. Subject Company Information.

     The name of the subject company to which this Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (this “Statement”) relates is Calprop Corporation, a California corporation (“Calprop”). The principal executive offices of Calprop are located at 13160 Mindanao Way, Suite 180, Marina Del Rey, California 90292. Calprop’s telephone number at its principal executive offices is (310) 306-4314.

     The class of equity securities to which this Statement relates is its common stock, no par value, of Calprop (the “Calprop Common Stock” and/or the “Shares”). As of December 10, 2004, (i) there were 9,737,205 shares of Calprop Common Stock outstanding help by approximately 640 stockholders of record and (ii) stock options to purchase 15,300 Shares were outstanding, all of which had exercise prices exceeding $0.65 per share; of the foregoing outstanding Shares, Mr. Victor Zaccaglin (the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Calprop), Mr. John Curci, Sr. (a principal stockholder of Calprop), and members of their respective families and affiliates, hold, in the aggregate, approximately 83% of Calprop’s Common Stock.

Item 2. Identity and Background of Filing Persons.

     The name, business address and business telephone number of Calprop, which is the person filing this Statement and is also the subject company, are set forth above in Item 1.

     This Statement relates to a tender offer by Newcal Corporation, a California corporation (“Newcal”), relating to the shares of Calprop Common Stock as disclosed in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) filed by Newcal with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2005. The Schedule TO includes information required to be reported under Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is incorporated by reference in its entirety to this Statement. Newcal made the offer on the terms and subject to the conditions described in an Offer To Purchase that Newcal filed with the SEC (as amended, the “Offer To Purchase”). Under that offer, if closed, Newcal would purchase each outstanding Share tendered in the offer and not properly withdrawn that is not directly or indirectly owned by Mr. Victor Zaccaglin (“Zaccaglin”), Mr. John Curci, Sr. (“Curci”), and members of their respective families and affiliates, at a purchase price of $0.65 per Share, net to the selling stockholder in cash, without interest.

     To the extent applicable and to the extent required pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, this Statement also constitutes a Schedule 13E-3 (the “Schedule 13E-3”) filed by and on behalf of Calprop.

     Newcal has stated, in the Offer To Purchase, that upon acquiring at least 90% of the outstanding shares of Calprop Common Stock, Newcal would be able to, and presently

 


Table of Contents

intends to, cause Calprop to effect a merger (the “Merger”) in which each outstanding share of Calprop Common Stock not purchased pursuant to the Offer (excluding (i) any Shares beneficially owned by Zaccaglin, Curci, and members of their respective families and affiliates and (ii) any Shares held by the stockholders who perfect their dissenter’s rights under the California General Corporation Law) would be converted into the right to receive in cash the same per Share amount paid in the Offer.

     The principal executive offices of Newcal are located at 13160 Mindanao Way, Suite 180, Marina Del Rey, California 90292.

Item 3. Past Contracts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements

     Under the terms of the secured debt reflected in the above table, and as evidenced by certain promissory notes (see Exhibit (e)(1) attached hereto), Curci-Turner is entitled to receive interest at the rate of 12% per annum and to participate in “net sales proceeds” (as such term is defined in the loan documentation referenced in Exhibit (e)(1) and which is generally comparable to net profit) from the High Ridge Court project. The foregoing secured debt was collateralized by a deed of trust (see Exhibit (e)(2) attached hereto) granted by Hunters Chase, Ltd., a Colorado limited partnership (“Hunters Chase”; Hunters Chase is a wholly owned subsidiary of Calprop) and also guaranteed by Hunters Chase (see Exhibit (e)(3) attached hereto). The unsecured loans shown in the above table are working capital loans obtained from Curci-Turner and Curci Investments. With respect to the unsecured debt described in the above table, (i) $5,705,486 of the debt bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum, had an original maturity date of July 16, 2004, which was extended to December 31, 2004, and subsequently extended to June 30, 2005, and remains unpaid as of the date hereof (see Exhibit (e)(4) attached hereto); and (ii) $1,512,170 of the debt bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum, had an original maturity date of December 31, 2004, which was extended to June 30, 2005, and remains unpaid as of the date hereof (see Exhibit (e)(5) attached hereto). The foregoing portion of the unsecured debt that bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum was personally guaranteed by the Victor and Hannah Zaccaglin Trust dated March 1992 (“Zaccaglin Trust”; Zaccaglin is the trustee of the Zaccaglin Trust) (see Exhibit (e)(6) attached hereto) and was also collateralized by a pledge certain Shares of Calprop and other partnership interests owned by the Zaccaglin Trust (see Exhibit (e)(7) and Exhibit (e)(8) attached hereto). The interest rates and other terms for these loans, and for the other loans described in the following paragraphs, were determined through negotiation by the parties on the basis of terms, conditions and interest rates that were believed to be consistent with those available to real estate development companies in a similar financial condition to that of Calprop and its subsidiaries at the time the loans were entered into.

     Debt Payable to Zaccaglin. Calprop’s notes payable to related parties as reported in its financial statements and the notes attached thereto as of December 31, 2003 (as set forth in Calprop’s 10-K that was filed with the SEC on July 6, 2004, as amended thereafter) also included notes payable to the Zaccaglin Trust. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding debt due and payable to the Zaccaglin Trust was approximately $2,371,451. This debt reflects unsecured loans (see Exhibit (e)(9) attached hereto) that were made by the Zaccaglin Trust to Calprop from January 1998 to November 2004 to provide working capital for Calprop’s day-to-day operations and overhead. The foregoing debt has a maturity date of December 31, 2005, and remains unpaid as of the date hereof.

     Debt Payable to Mission Gorge, LLC. Calprop’s notes payable to related parties as reported in its financial statements as of December 31, 2003 (as set forth in Calprop’s 10-K Annual Report that was filed with the SEC on July 6, 2004, as amended thereafter) included a promissory note payable to Mission Gorge, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Mission Gorge”) bearing interest at 12% per annum (see Exhibit (e)(10) attached hereto). Mission Gorge is a California limited liability company that was formed by Calprop and Curci-Turner for the purpose of developing a 200 acre parcel in

 


Table of Contents

the City of San Diego, California. The outstanding balance of the foregoing note as of December 31, 2003 was $2,000,000, and the note was subsequently repaid in 2004.

     Conversion of Preferred Stock to Common Stock. In 1996, Calprop converted its then outstanding preferred stock to common stock and the accrued preferred stock dividends then due to the Zaccaglin Trust and the Curci Revocable Trust No. 2 (“Curci Trust”; Curci is a trustee of the Curci Trust) of $581,542 and $472,545, respectively, were exchanged for promissory notes with interest payable at the rate of 10% per annum. As of September 30, 2004, the outstanding principal due on these notes due to the Zaccaglin Trust and the Curci Trust was $581,542 (see Exhibit (e)(11) attached hereto) and $462,330 (see Exhibit (e)(12) attached hereto), respectively. These notes were to mature on December 31, 2004 and have subsequently been extended to December 31, 2005.

     Exercise of Options. On March 10, 1998, Ronald Petch (“Petch”; Petch was a former President and a former director of Calprop), Mark Spiro (“Spiro”; Spiro was a former Chief Financial Officer and former director of Calprop), the Zaccaglin Trust, and John L. Curci (“Curci Jr.”; Curci Jr. is a former director of Calprop, the son of Curci, and a principal and manager of Curci Investments), exercised options to purchase a total of 720,000 Shares of Calprop Common Stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.89 per share. Calprop received $199,389 in cash from the Zaccaglin Trust and received promissory notes from the other persons/entities in payment of the exercise prices of these options. The promissory notes bore interest at 4.987% per annum and had an original maturity date of March 10, 2001 that was extended to March 10, 2004. Curci Jr. paid his note in the amount of $22,188 in 2002. Petch and Spiro, respectively on March 10, 2004 and June 1, 2004, fully extinguished their debt by tendering to Calprop the Shares that were acquired via the exercise of their respective options.

     Transactions related to the Saddlerock Project. Calprop’s Saddlerock project, as referenced in the above table, was a development project to build 94 units of single-family detached housing in Aurora Colorado. In order to finance and commence this project, Calprop obtained an acquisition/construction loan from Curci-Turner whereby Calprop borrowed $2,350,000 at a rate of 12% per annum (see Exhibit (e)(13) attached hereto). This loan was guaranteed by Colorado Pacific Homes, Inc., a Colorado Corporation (“Colorado Pacific”)(Colorado Pacific is a wholly owned subsidiary of Calprop) (see Exhibit (e)(14) attached hereto) and secured by a deed of trust granted by Colorado Pacific (see Exhibit (e)(15) attached hereto). In order to fully develop the project, Calprop also obtained additional loans from commercial bank lenders under revolving construction loan facilities that essentially bore interest at the rate of prime plus 1.0%, and as of December 26, 2003, the outstanding balance due on these construction loans was $1,962,769. During 2003, Calprop refinanced the foregoing revolving construction loans with Curci-Turner by borrowing an additional $1,900,000 upon the same terms and conditions of the initial acquisition loan from Curci-Turner described hereinabove, and as of December 31, 2003, the outstanding balance due on the debt owed to Curci-Turner was approximately $4,444,419. The refinancing of these loans was guaranteed by the Zaccaglin Trust (see Exhibit (e)(16) attached hereto). Shortly after the

foregoing refinancing, Calprop’s interest in the remaining ten lots in the Saddlerock Project were sold to VLZ Development, LLC, a Colorado limited liability (“VLZ”) for a gross sales price of $1,390,000 (see Exhibit (e)(17) attached hereto). VLZ is a Colorado limited liability company that is managed and primarily owned by Victor L. Zaccaglini, the son of Zaccaglin. Pursuant to the foregoing sale agreement for the ten remaining lots, VLZ assumed $1,390,000 of the $2,325,000 original debt owed by Calprop to Curci-Turner (see Exhibit (e)(18) attached hereto), and the assumption of such debt was guaranteed by the Zaccaglin Trust (see Exhibit (e)(19) attached hereto). With respect the remaining debt owed by Calprop to Curci-Turner (including such debt that was transferred to Curci Investments) that was not assumed by VLZ in connection with the foregoing sale, Colorado Pacific and the Zaccaglin Trust guaranteed the remaining debt (see Exhibit (e)(20) and Exhibit (e)(21) attached hereto, respectively), and Calprop also granted Curci Investments a first trust deed in its interest in the Smolin project as additional collateral (see Exhibit (e)(22) attached hereto).

     Transactions related to the Mission Gorge Project. Calprop’s Mission Gorge project was a project to develop approximately 200 acres of land in San Diego. In 1996, Calprop and Curci-Turner formed Mission Gorge, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Mission Gorge”) whereby the “net proceeds” (as such term is defined in the operating agreement between the two members) were to be divided equally. In December of 2000, Curci-Turner assigned its entire 50% of its interest in Mission Gorge to the following two trusts: The John L. Curci Trust (the “1993 Curci Trust”; Curci is a trustee of the 1993 Curci Trust) and The Janet Curci Living Trust No. II (the “1985 Curci Trust”; Curci is a trustee of the 1985 Curci Trust), with each trust receiving a 25% membership interest in Mission Gorge. The foregoing assignments were made for estate planning purposes and both of the foregoing trusts are affiliated with Curci. On February 24, 2004, Calprop purchased all of the 1993 Curci Trust’s membership interests and all of the 1985 Curci Trust’s membership interest in Mission Gorge for a total purchase price of $3,600,000 (see Exhibit (e)(23) and Exhibit (e)(24) attached hereto, respectively). On May 21, 2004, Calprop sold the Mission Gorge property for a gross sales price of $6,849,679. As a result of such sale, Calprop recorded a gain on the sale of land of $431,703 in the second quarter of 2004.

     Transactions related to the Andalucia Project. Calprop’s Andalucia project was a project to develop, build and rent approximately 182 town home units in San Diego. This project was proposed to Calprop by RCG, an architecture firm, that was owned by James Murar (“Murar”; Murar was a former director of Calprop) and Harold Lynch (“Lynch”). Around October of 1998, Calprop formed RGC Carmel Country Associates, LLC, a California limited liability company (“CCA”) to develop the project. The following individuals and/or entities became the initial members of CCA: Calprop, the 1993 Curci Trust, the 1985 Curci Trust, the Zaccaglin Trust, Lynch, and Murar. In January 2003, Calprop sold substantially all of its membership interest in RGC (retaining only a 0.5% membership interest in CCA for banking/financing requirements) to the following individuals and/or entities: the 1985 Curci Trust (see Exhibit (e)(25) attached hereto), (ii) the Zaccaglin Trust (see Exhibit (e)(26) attached hereto) (iii) JAMS Management LP, a California limited partnership (an affiliated entity of Curci who was the general partner of

 


Table of Contents

said entity) (see Exhibit (e)(27) attached hereto). Calprop sold its foregoing membership interest for $2,000,000 in cash which was recorded as a gain in 2003.

     Transaction related to Drake Development, LLC. Drake Development, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Drake Development”) is a limited liability company formed by Zaccaglin and Curci for the purpose of acquiring and developing residential real estate in Southern California that Calprop is not otherwise financially able to develop and build. As a means of providing income for Calprop, Drake Development engages the services of Calprop to provide general administrative services and act as the general contractor for such projects, whereby Drake Development compensates Calprop at rates that are intended to cover Calprop’s costs of providing such services and an appropriate profit margin (see Exhibit (e)(28) attached hereto). Moreover, with respect to various commercial loans that Drake Development obtained for the purpose of acquiring developable land with the services of Calprop, the Zaccaglin Trust provided guaranties for the repayment of such loans (see Exhibit (e)(29) and Exhibit (e)(30) attached hereto, respectively) while Calprop provided completion guaranties with respect to such projects (see Exhibit (e)(31) and Exhibit (e)(32) attached hereto, respectively). The outstanding amount of Drake Development’s loans is currently $2,202,374 and the maximum permitted outstanding amount of the loans under the bank loan agreements is $19,000,000. Listed below are the two main projects that Drake Development is currently developing:

          (i)       project located in San Bernardino, California and known as “Northpark 19”

          (ii)       project located in Moreno Valley, California and known as “Moreno Valley Ranchos”

     POSSIBLE CONFLICTING INTERESTS OF CERTAIN CALPROP DIRECTORS

     In reviewing the balance of this Statement, the Calprop stockholders should know that the current members of the Calprop Board of Directors have relationships that may present, may appear to present, or at times in the past could have presented, or appeared to present, conflicts or potential conflicts of interest.

     The current sole stockholder and sole officer of Newcal is Zaccaglin, who is also the single largest stockholder, and is the founder, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Calprop. Curci, who is expected to become the second largest stockholder of Newcal upon contribution of his Calprop Common Stock to Newcal, is currently Calprop’s second largest stockholder. Both Zaccaglin and Curci (including affiliates of Curci) have made loans to Calprop and have purchased assets from and had other business transactions with Calprop, as described above in this Item 3. Zaccaglin and Curci are first cousins and, together with members of their respective families, own approximately 83% of Calprop’s currently outstanding common stock, as follows: Zaccaglin owns 4,439,218 Shares (representing 45.6% of Calprop’s currently outstanding

 


Table of Contents

common stock) and members of Zaccaglin’s family collectively own 190,574 Shares (representing 2% of Calprop’s currently outstanding common stock). Curci owns 3,096,643 shares (representing 31.8% of Calprop’s currently outstanding common stock) and possesses warrants to purchase 50,000 additional Shares, and members of Curci’s family collectively own 368,367 Shares (representing 3.8% of Calprop’s currently outstanding common stock).

     Henry Nierodzik (“Nierodzik”), who became Calprop’s chief accounting officer and a member of its board of directors in August 2004, was an acquaintance of and member of the same church as Zaccaglin prior to that time and was recruited for his positions with Calprop by Zaccaglin at the suggestion of a mutual acquaintance. Mark T. Duvall (“Duvall”), who was the third of Calprop’s three directors at the time Duff & Phelps, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Duff & Phelps”) was selected by the board to serve as Calprop’s financial advisor with respect to proposals from Zaccaglin and who served as a director of Calprop from March 31, 1999 until his resignation from the board on November 2, 2004, is a portfolio manager with an affiliated company of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that provides personal financial advisory services to Zaccaglin. In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. has commercial banking relationships with Calprop. As described below, Nierodzik and Duvall were the sole directors who voted on the selection of Duff & Phelps as Calprop’s financial advisor with respect to the Offer, Zaccaglin having abstained in that vote. It is currently expected that Nierodzik will continue in his current positions with Calprop after completion of the Offer and the Merger.

     Barry Glaser (“Glaser”) became a member of the Calprop board of directors on December 14, 2004. Glaser is a retired stockbroker who has owned shares of Calprop common stock in varying amounts since 1985. He and his wife currently have beneficial ownership of 81,746 shares of Calprop Common Stock and intend to tender all of their Shares in response to the Offer. Glaser, who is an acquaintance of and member of the same church as Zaccaglin, agreed to become a director upon the request of Zaccaglin to participate as a non-employee director in the board of director’s consideration of Zaccaglin’s proposal and any alternatives that may be or become available to Calprop.

     INDEMNIFICATION AND RELATED ARRANGEMENTS

     The Calprop charter documents contain typical, limited immunities from monetary liability for the Calprop directors and typical, limited rights to indemnification in favor of the Calprop directors and officers. The Calprop directors and officers are also covered by director and officer liability insurance.

Item 4. The Solicitation or Recommendation

     SOLICITATION RECOMMENDATION

     At a meeting held on February 23, 2005, the Special Committee of the Calprop Board of Directors, by unanimous vote, (a) determined that the Offer is fair to and in the best interests of the public stockholders of Calprop, and (b) recommended that the public stockholders of Calprop accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant thereto. At a subsequent meeting, also held on February 23, 2005, the Board of Directors of Calprop considered the determination and recommendation of the Special Committee and thereupon, by unanimous vote, also (a) determined that the Offer is fair to and in the best interests of the public stockholders of Calprop, and (b) recommended that the public stockholders of Calprop accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant thereto.

     THEREFORE, THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CALPROP RECOMMEND THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS TENDER ALL OF THEIR SHARES PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.

     A copy of a letter to all stockholders of Calprop communicating the recommendations of the Special Committee and the Board of Directors is filed as Exhibit (a)(6) hereto.

     The balance of this Item 4 summarizes events that led to the Offer and the activities and deliberations of the Special Committee and the Board of Directors with respect to the Offer and possible alternatives to the Offer, including the Special Committee’s discussions with its financial advisor, Duff & Phelps, relating to Duff & Phelp’s financial analysis of the Offer and the Merger

     Background.

     Calprop has been a publicly traded company since its initial public offering of common stock in 1971. Calprop historically designs, constructs, and sells single-family detached homes and townhomes as part of condominiums or planned unit developments in California and Colorado, including selection of suitable real estate for development, obtaining required entitlements and government approvals for the construction of single-family and other residential real estate, obtaining financing and the construction and sale of homes to consumers; Calprop also designs, constructs, and leases apartments and townhomes in Southern and Northern California. Although Calprop’s business involves substantial risks, Calprop had generally profitable operations until mid-1990. From that period through 1996, Calprop was adversely affected by a general economic down turn and incurred substantial losses; however, Calprop returned to profitability in 1997 and 1998. Although Calprop was able to maintain its Stockholder’s equity from the year 1999 to 2001, Calprop incurred heavy losses in 2002, 2003 and 2004 due to adverse conditions in its markets in California and Colorado, adverse home sales experience at its projects and related impairment losses on the write-down of the carrying value of those projects in Calprop’s financial statements. As such, its Stockholder’s equity was

 


Table of Contents

substantially impaired. In response to these adverse financial results, Calprop severely curtailed its operations and has found it necessary to sell real estate that it had acquired for residential development, or had acquired the rights to purchase for such development, to other real estate development companies rather than to complete the development process by constructing and selling houses itself. Calprop also significantly reduced its staff from 44 employees at December 31, 2001 to 7 employees at September 30, 2004, and has been seeking other cost-reduction alternatives.

     In light of Calprop’s deteriorating financial condition over the past few years, Calprop has had substantial difficulty in obtaining commercial bank loans or other institutional credit facilities to finance its business activities. Therefore, as noted above in Item 3, and in an effort to generate and have access to cash, Calprop sold certain of its real properties, or rights to acquire real properties for development, and borrowed substantial funds for its ongoing operations from related parties, primarily from Curci and Zaccaglin. Moreover, Zaccaglin personally guaranteed several of its borrowings from Curci in order to provide Calprop with working capital. Furthermore, in light of intense scrutiny of Sarbanes-Oxley in the post-Enron era, Calprop had continuing difficulty retaining and/or attracting qualified directors. Due to loss of several board members over the years, as of early December, 2004, there were only two members of the board of directors left (Zaccaglin and Nierodzik). However, on December 14, 2004, Glaser, an acquaintance of and member of the same church as Zaccaglin, and a retired stockbroker who owned Calprop stock for a number of years, was elected as a director of Calprop by Calprop’s remaining directors. Glaser accepted the nomination without consideration as is considered a non-employee director.

     Without reasonable access to working capital and acquisition financing, Calprop decided in 2004 to revise its current business strategy to sell most of its properties, rather than completing development of the properties and selling individual homes, and to use the net proceeds of those sales to pay down existing indebtedness (which totaled approximately $13,416,000 as of September 30, 2004). Such strategy is disclosed in Calprop 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its 2004 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q that were recently filed with the SEC. However, as Calprop was able to begin to pay down its debt, Calprop was again having substantial difficulty in obtaining commercial bank loans or other institutional credit facilities to finance its business due to its somewhat weak balance sheet. Moreover, Zaccaglin was no longer willing to provide ongoing financial support to or to make equity investments in Calprop in its current form as a publicly held company.

     As a result of the losses incurred by Calprop from its operations, including write-downs in the carrying value of its residential real estate projects, as of December 31, 2003 and as of September 30, 2004, Calprop had net operating losses for federal income tax purposes of $24.9 million and $40.6 million, respectively, and net operating losses for state tax purposes of $8.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively. These net operating losses would be available to offset future taxable income in the event that Calprop were able to continue operations and such operations were to produce net taxable income. However, the availability of these net operating losses, which may be viewed as potentially valuable assets if sufficient net taxable income is produced prior to the date

 


Table of Contents

they expire, and ignoring any other offsetting factors, would result in tax savings of approximately $8.5 million and $13.8 million, respectively, for federal income tax purposes and $500,000 and $660,000, respectively, for state tax purposes. The availability of these net operating losses will expire between 2013 and 2022 for federal income tax purposes and between 2005 and 2008 for state tax purposes, and would be subject to substantial limitations if Calprop were sold to an unrelated third party or if substantial equity investments were made in Calprop by persons who are not current stockholders of Calprop.

     In early 2003, in an effort to alleviate Calprop’s deteriorating financial condition, and in an effort to reduce Calprop’s accounting and compliance fees, which were becoming a significant drain on resources, Calprop considered going private and exploring potential sales, joint ventures and/or mergers, as described more fully below:

          1.       Calprop considered effectuating a reverse stock split in order to allow Calprop to halt its compliance with all of the SEC’s filings requirements. This course of action was first considered by the board of directors, but was abandoned when it became apparent that preparation for and obtaining shareholder approval of a reverse stock split would require substantial effort and expense at a time when the management of Calprop was fully engaged in then more urgent aspects of dealing with Calprop’s financial and operational problems.

          2.       During the period from April through June 2003, Calprop had numerous discussions with an individual regarding potential transactions in which the individual, together with a real estate development company solicited by him, would acquire control of Calprop. Officers of Calprop had several meetings with the individual, who proposed a variety of possible transactions in those meetings and in written correspondence. Although no specific offer was made by the individual, the general form of transaction described by him would have involved the purchase by the investment group for cash of a substantial portion of the Calprop Common Stock owned by Zaccaglin and Curci and a distribution to them of certain real estate projects of Calprop, coupled with an equity investment in Calprop by the investment group and the provision of a line of credit to Calprop for use in its operations. The transactions described by the investor would not have involved the purchase of the Shares of the public stockholders of Calprop.

          3.       Commencing in July 2003, Calprop had discussions with a substantial regional residential real estate development company to explore several alternatives to combine the synergies of their respective operations. These discussions included a due diligence review by that company and consideration of various possible transactions. The development company indicated that it was attracted by the possible tax benefits of the net operating losses that Calprop then had, but stated that it was concerned about potential home construction liabilities arising from Calprop’s operations and the extent of Calprop’s insurance coverage against such liabilities. Calprop signed a nonbinding letter of intent with the development company that contemplated that the development company would invest $7 million in Calprop and would acquire control of Calprop, but did not specify the structure or specific terms of the transaction. In

 


Table of Contents

subsequent discussions, the development company stated, however, that a condition of its willingness to proceed with its proposal would be that either Calprop would be reorganized in a proceeding under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to eliminate potential liabilities arising from its operations or that Mr. Zaccaglin would agree to bear any such liabilities by providing a guaranty. These discussions were subsequently terminated.

          4.       In September 2003, Calprop initiated discussions with a well known Southern California residential real estate development company that expressed interest in the real estate projects that Calprop was then working on or had under consideration. These discussions did not lead to any specific proposal and terminated shortly thereafter.

          5.       In October 2003, Calprop held a meeting, which was initiated by Zaccaglin, with the chief executive officer of a large national homebuilding company to discuss the possibility of the acquisition of Calprop by the national company or an equity investment by that company in Calprop. The national homebuilding company expressed interest in one of Calprop’s real estate projects, but did not express an interest in acquiring Calprop, and therefore did not pursue discussions after that meeting.

          6.       Around June of 2004, Calprop again considered the possibility of a reverse stock split. This possibility was rejected due to concern that under California law Calprop could not properly pay cash to stockholders in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in view of its deficit in stockholders’ equity, and the fact that the shares held by public stockholders currently exceed the 10% level permitted for such nonconsensual cash retirements of shares under California law.

     As of June 2004, Calprop was still unable to improve its deteriorating financial condition and the board of directors voiced concerns regarding (i) Calprop’s continuing viability on a long term basis unless it obtains additional equity capital and (ii) the substantial continuing costs (specifically, accounting and SEC compliance fees) that will be incurred if Calprop remains a publicly traded company. In light of the foregoing, and since Zaccaglin was no longer willing to provide ongoing financial support to or to make equity investments in Calprop in its current form as a publicly held company, around June of 2004, Zaccaglin again informally proposed to Calprop’s board of directors that Calprop become a privately held company and briefly outlined a plan to effectuate such a plan. The plan envisioned a tender offer for the outstanding Shares by a corporation to be formed by Mr. Zaccaglin and to which certain other existing Company stockholders would contribute their Company Shares, followed by a merger of that corporation with Calprop in which cash would be paid at the same amount per share as that paid in the tender offer for any publicly held Calprop Common Stock not tendered in the tender offer. However, at such time, no specific price had been proposed by Zaccaglin for the acquisition of Calprop’s publicly held Shares, and there was no assurance that any transaction will actually be commenced or completed. In response to Zaccaglin’s informal proposal, the board of directors of Calprop retained the services of Duff & Phelps to provide financial advice to Calprop in connection with its consideration of a possible tender offer and to provide an opinion with respect to whether any specific

 


Table of Contents

transaction that may ultimately be proposed by Zaccaglin is fair to Calprop’s stockholders from a financial point of view. As described above, Nierodzik and Duvall were the sole directors who voted on the selection of Duff & Phelps as Calprop’s financial advisor with respect to the proposed tender offer, Zaccaglin having abstained in that vote.

     Formation and Activities of the Special Committee.

     In response to Zaccaglin’s proposal, on January 8, 2005, the Calprop Board of Directors established a special committee (the “Special Committee”) to evaluate a potential proposal by Zaccaglin to purchase the Calprop Common Stock of Calprop’s public stockholders in a going private transaction, that if, Calprop would cease to be a publicly traded corporation; at such meeting, Nierodzik and Glaser were designated as the members of this Special Committee, and immediately thereafter, the Special Committee discussed the proposed going private transaction with Zaccaglin. In that discussion, Zaccaglin stated that he proposed to conduct a tender offer for all outstanding shares of Calprop Common Stock held by the public stockholders at a price of $0.25 per share, to be followed by a merger of Newcal into Calprop in which publicly held shares of Calprop Common Stock not tendered in the tender offer would be exchanged for cash in the same amount of $0.25 per share. The Special Committee also discussed with Zaccaglin the reasons for the proposed tender offer and the preliminary negotiations Zaccaglin had had with potential investors in or acquirors of control of Calprop over the preceding two years.

     On January 14, 2004, the Special Committee met with representatives of Duff & Phelps (and with legal counsel for Duff & Phelps) to discuss the type of analysis Duff & Phelps would perform to analyze the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the transaction proposed by Zaccaglin. After the representatives of Duff & Phelps left the meeting, the Special Committee independently approved both the retention of Duff & Phelps as a financial advisor to the Special Committee and the scope and nature of the procedures to be followed by Duff & Phelps.

     On January 20, 2005, the Special Committee met with a former financial consultant (“Consultant”) to Calprop who had been involved in prior efforts to locate potential investors in or acquirors of control of Calprop. The Special Committee discussed if such prior potential suitors of Calprop were still interested in investing or acquiring control of Calprop. While the Consultant indicated there was one suitor that was still interested in Calprop’s net operating losses, such suitor would only enter into an agreement that would require Calprop to voluntarily declare bankruptcy to attempt to eliminate any potential builder warranty and legal claims. In light of the fact that the filing of a voluntary bankruptcy by Calprop would likely result in Calprop’s stockholders receiving no value for their investment, while benefiting the creditors of Calprop, the Special Committee declined to pursue this suitor and turned its attention back to Zaccaglin’s proposal.

     On January 21, 2005, the Special Committee met with a longtime stockholder of Calprop to discuss that stockholder’s views regarding Calprop and its current financial

 


Table of Contents

condition; said stockholder was concerned about Calprop’s low cash balances, high debt, and negative equity.

     On January 25, 2005, the Special Committee received a written proposal from Zaccaglin that contained the specific terms of the proposed transaction and stated a proposed price for Calprop Common Stock of $0.25 per share. The Special Committee forwarded a copy of the letter from Zaccaglin to Duff & Phelps the following day.

     Consideration of the Offer.

     On February 2, 2005, the Special Committee met with Duff & Phelps to discuss Zaccaglin’s written offer. At that meeting, the Special Committee and Duff & Phelps discussed the progress of the Special Committee’s consideration of the proposed transaction and other potential alternative transactions. Furthermore, Duff & Phelps reported on progress of its financial analysis regarding the proposed transaction.

     On February 4, 2005, the Special Committee met with Zaccaglin to discuss his proposed written offer and potential alterative transactions, including the possibility of (i) only conducting a tender offer, without a subsequent merger (as such a structure would provide an opportunity for the public Calprop stockholders to sell their Shares without requiring that all public Calprop stockholders sell their Shares) and (ii) having Zaccaglin and Curci convert a portion of the debt owed to them into Calprop Common Stock. The Special Committee also indicated that there would be a range of values for Calprop’s Common Stock that might be acceptable based on stock trading ranges, perceived values of the net operating losses, and other applicable criteria. Based on these discussions, and without formally rejecting the proposed written offer, Zaccaglin indicated he would review his proposed offer and possibly submit a revised offer.

     On February 8, 2005, the Special Committee met with Duff & Phelps (via a telephone conference call) to discuss the transaction and the progress of Duff & Phelps’ analysis and develop a formal response to Zaccaglin’s original offer price of $0.25 per share. Duff & Phelps reported on its progress with respect to, and certain aspects of, its financial analysis of Calprop. Based on these discussions, and its own considerations, after the departure of the representatives of Duff & Phelps, the Special Committee decided to contact Zaccaglin and discuss a potential price to effectuate the proposed tender offer. Immediately thereafter, the Special Committee contacted Zaccaglin via telephone to discuss the proposed transaction; again, Zaccaglin indicated he would review his proposed offer and possibly submit a revised offer.

     On February 12, 2005 and February 17, 2005, the Special Committee held further meetings with Zaccaglin to discuss the proposed transaction, potential alternative capital structures to effectuate a transaction, and the purchase price per share to effectuate any such transaction. At the end of the meeting on February 17, 2005, Zaccaglin delivered a revised proposal to the Special Committee in which he proposed the same transaction he had originally proposed but now at a price of $0.65 per share. The Special Committee forwarded a copy of the revised proposal to Duff & Phelps that day.

 


Table of Contents

     On February 22, 2005, the Special Committee met (via a telephone conference call) with Duff & Phelps’ and Duff & Phelps’s legal counsel to discuss the revised proposal offered by Zaccaglin.

     On February 23, 2005, the Special Committee met with Duff & Phelps and Duff & Phelps’ legal counsel at the offices of Duff & Phelps to discuss the revised proposal offered by Zaccaglin. At this meeting, Duff & Phelps gave a presentation to the Special Committee of the methodologies, assumptions and limitations underlying its analysis of the Offer and the Merger. (For a summary of those methodologies, assumptions and limitations, see “Summary of Financial Analysis and Opinion of the Special Committee’s Financial Advisor” below.) Duff & Phelps then told the Special Committee that, based on its analysis and subject to those limitations and assumptions, it was Duff & Phelps’ opinion that, as of February 23, 2005, the Offer and the Merger were fair to the public shareholders of Calprop from a financial point of view (without giving effect to any impacts of the Merger on any particular shareholder other than in its capacity as a shareholder). For the purpose of its analysis and opinion, Duff & Phelps defined the term “public shareholders” as including all owners of Calprop common stock other than Mr. Victor Zaccaglin, Mr. John Curci, Sr., and members of their respective families and their affiliates. The foregoing summary is qualified by reference to the written opinion dated as of February 23, 2005, of Duff & Phelps, which is attached to this Statement as Exhibit (c)(1).

     SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO AND SHOULD READ THE FAIRNESS OPINION IN ITS ENTIRETY.

     After the departure of the representatives of Duff & Phelps, and after discussing the proposed Offer at length and considering certain matters described below, the Special Committee concluded that the price included in the Offer was fair to the public stockholders of Calprop. As such, the Special Committee, by unanimous vote, (a) determined that the Offer is fair to and in the best interests of the public stockholders of Calprop, and (b) recommended that the public stockholders of Calprop accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant thereto. At a subsequent meeting, also held on February 23, 2005, the Board of Directors of Calprop considered the determination and recommendation of the Special Committee and thereupon, by unanimous vote (with Zaccaglin abstaining), also (a) determined that the Offer is fair to and in the best interests of the public stockholders of Calprop, and (b) recommended that the public stockholders of Calprop accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant thereto.

     FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

     The Special Committee.

     In connection with reaching the recommendation described above, the Special Committee concluded that the Offer and the Merger are substantively and procedurally

 


Table of Contents

fair to the public stockholders of Calprop. In reaching this determination, the Special Committee considered a number of factors. Here is a summary of the principal factors the Special Committee considered:

          1.       Financial Condition and Business Prospects of Calprop. The weakening financial condition (during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company has incurred net losses of approximately $2.7 million and $15.1 million, respectively), results of operations, competitive position, business and prospects of Calprop, including its cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

          2.       Duff & Phelps Analysis and Fairness Opinion. The Special Committee’s consideration of Duff & Phelps’ financial analysis and of Duff & Phelps’ Fairness Opinion regarding the Offer. In this connection, the Special Committee determined and confirmed that Duff & Phelps is an independent financial advisory firm having no prior involvement or dealings with Calprop, Zaccaglin or Curci, and also having no current prospects of any future engagement by any of such persons

          3.       Market Prices of Calprop Common Stock: Premium. The $0.65 per Share tender offer price represents a premium of $0.40 over the last reported “bid” quotation of $0.25 per share of Calprop common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board as reported by IDD Information Services, Tradeline (r) for March 21, 2005, the last day prior to the commencement of the Offer. In this connection, the stockholders should note that there has been virtually no trading activity for Calprop shares over more than the past twelve months and, accordingly, that the quotations for Calprop common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or from any other source are not necessarily reliable indicators of its value.

          4.       Market Prices of Calprop Common Stock: Discount. The $0.65 per Share Offer price represents a substantial discount from prices at which Calprop’s Common Stock traded at times in 2003 and in prior years.

          5.       Liquidity, Trading Volume and Lack of Analyst Coverage. The liquidity and trading volume for Calprop Common Stock is extremely low, and at time virtually non-existent. Illiquidity typically has an adverse effect on trading prices. This issue is exacerbated by the lack of coverage of the Shares by Wall Street research analysts.

          6.       Lack of Diversification/Business Uncertainties. Due to the fact that Calprop has substantially decreased its portfolio of real estate holdings substantially over the last twelve months in an effort to reduce its operations and pay off debt, Calprop only has one remaining development and construction project—the High Ridge Court project in Thornton, Colorado. With only one project currently in progress, Calprop’s financial condition is susceptible to and tied to (i) general and local economic conditions that affects real estate markets and (ii) statutory, regulatory or administrative actions that

 


Table of Contents

could change existing property tax provisions and/or modify the zoning or permissible use/viability of the foregoing project.

          7.       Calprop’s Cash Requirements. Uncertainties regarding Calprop’s ability to meet significant cash requirements in the foreseeable future to fund additional projects and pay off debt.

          8.       Costs of Remaining a Public Company. The costs (estimated at least to be $210,000 per year) to be a publicly traded company, and substantial costs that would be required to be incurred to comply with the expanded reporting requirements resulting from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and amendments to applicable rules of the SEC.

          9.       Approval by Majority of Public Holders. The Offer is conditioned upon the requirement that a majority of unaffiliated stockholders elect to participate in the Offer.

          10.       All Cash Offer. The Offer is an all-cash offer for all publicly held Shares, which the holders thereof can accept or reject voluntarily, is not subject to a financing condition and could be completed in about forty-five days.

          11.       Lack of Other Proposals. No viable/substantive proposals have been made with respect to Calprop regarding a merger or other business combination, or the sale of all or any substantial part of the assets or securities of Calprop and Calprop’s and the Special Committee’s prior efforts to find a third party interested in acquiring it were unsuccessful. Furthermore, one of Calprop’s most significant assets—its tax net operating losses for federal income tax and state tax purposes, are subject to significant limitations on use in the event that Calprop were sold to an unrelated third party or in the event of a substantial equity investment, other than by Calprop’s existing principal stockholders, in Calprop.

          12.       Low-Cost Disposition of Shares. The Offer provides stockholders who are considering selling their Shares with the opportunity to do so without incurring the transaction costs typically associated with market sales and without incurring any price discounts due to the relative illiquidity of the Shares.

          13.       Conflicts of Interest. The conflicts of interest of certain Calprop directors and officers described elsewhere in this Statement.

          14.       Bankruptcy Alternative. If Calprop’s financial condition deteriorate where the Calprop determines the need to file for bankruptcy, such a condition would likely result in Calprop’s public stockholders receiving no value for their investment, while benefiting the creditors of Calprop, including Zaccaglin and Curci.

     In light of the number and variety of factors the Special Committee considered in evaluating the Offer, the Special Committee found it impractical to quantify or otherwise

 


Table of Contents

assign relative weights to each factor in reaching its decision to recommend acceptance of the Offer.

     The Special Committee did not consider the book value or the liquidation value of Calprop’s assets as meaningful measures of the fair value of the Shares and did not consider liquidation to be an attractive course of action. Therefore, the Special Committee did not seek an appraisal of the liquidation values for those assets.

     In reaching its determination as to the fairness of the Offer and the Merger, the Special Committee identified various factors which could be said to indicate that the Offer and the Merger were not fair and/or that this was not the right time for the public shareholders to sell their Shares in the Offer or otherwise. Among these factors were:

          1.       Market Prices: Recent trading prices for Shares have been at all-time lows since Calprop’s initial public offering.

          2.       Business Uncertainties: The business uncertainties discussed above (see factor 6) could be resolved favorably to Calprop, in which event the Calprop’s business prospects and/or Company’s prospects could substantially improve.

          3.       Majority Ownership: Zaccaglin’s ownership of a majority of the Calprop Common Stock may have adversely affected the willingness of other potential bidders to propose to acquire or to pursue a substantial investment or other strategic transaction involving Calprop.

     However, in rendering its determination, the Special Committee determined that the factors favoring a determination of fairness substantially outweighed the above-listed factors.

     The Board of Directors.

     In its deliberations regarding the Offer and Merger, the Board of Directors evaluated the Offer and the Merger in light of their knowledge of the business, financial condition and prospects of Calprop. In addition, the Board of Directors determined that the Special Committee’s conclusion that the Offer was fair, and its recommendation that the public stockholders accept the offer and tender their shares, was the result of a process that was fair to the public stockholders of Calprop because, among other things, the Special Committee conducted numerous meetings, during which the Special Committee evaluated and analyzed the proposed transaction, explored alternative transactions and courses of action, and reached informed conclusions based, in part, on the advice of an independent financial advisor. Accordingly, the Board of Directors determined that the Offer and the Merger were fair based principally on the determination of the Special Committee.

     The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Special Committee and the Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive but is believed to

 


Table of Contents

include all material factors considered by the Special Committee and the Board of Directors. Calprop’s executive officers have not been asked to make a recommendation as to the Offer or the Merger.

     Summary of Financial Analysis and Opinion of the Special Committee’s Financial Advisor

     Duff & Phelps was retained by the Calprop board of directors under an engagement letter dated August 31, 2004, prior to the formation of the Special Directors Committee. After its formation, the Special Directors Committee met with Duff & Phelps and independently approved both the retention of Duff & Phelps as financial advisor to the Special Directors Committee and the scope and nature of the procedures to be followed by Duff & Phelps. Neither the Calprop board of directors, nor the Special Directors Committee placed any limitation upon Duff & Phelps with respect to the procedures followed or factors considered by Duff & Phelps in rendering its fairness opinion.

     Duff & Phelps was retained based on its experience as a financial advisor in connection with going private transactions, mergers and acquisitions and in securities valuations generally. Duff & Phelps is a nationally recognized investment banking firm that is regularly engaged to render financial opinions in connection with going private transactions, mergers and acquisitions, tax matters, corporate planning, and other purposes. Founded in 1932, Duff & Phelps believes that it is one of the leading middle market investment banking and independent financial advisory firms in the United States. Duff & Phelps has significant expertise and experience in fairness opinions, business valuations, solvency opinions, structuring ESOP/ERISA transactions, private capital raising transactions, buy-side and sell-side merger and acquisition advisory services, and intangible asset and intellectual property valuations. Headquartered in Chicago, Duff & Phelps has offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Atlanta and Seattle. Each year, Duff & Phelps renders approximately 500 opinions, including fairness opinions, business valuation opinions, solvency opinions, tax-related financial opinions, and other financial opinions. Duff & Phelps had not previously provided financial advisory or other services to Calprop, Mr. Zaccaglin or Mr. John Curci, Sr. and has had no discussions regarding any future engagements by any of them.

     Duff & Phelps rendered a written opinion to the Special Directors Committee that, as of February 23, 2005, the terms of the Offer and the Merger were fair from a financial point of view (without giving effect to any impacts of the Offer or the Merger on any particular shareholder other than in its capacity as a shareholder) to the public shareholders of Calprop, excluding Zaccaglin, Curci, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limits on the review undertaken, is attached to this Statement as Exhibit (c)(1). CALPROP STOCKHOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THIS OPINION IN ITS ENTIRETY.

     Limitations and Assumptions. The fairness opinion of Duff & Phelps was directed to the Special Directors Committee, and its basis and methodology were designed specifically for the express purposes of the Special Directors Committee and

 


Table of Contents

may not translate to any other purposes. It does not constitute a recommendation as to whether any individual shareholder should tender or vote with respect to any matter. Furthermore, Duff & Phelps did not address the relative merits of the Offer or the Merger or any other transactions or business strategies discussed by the Calprop board of directors as alternatives to the Offer and the Merger or the underlying business decision of the Calprop board of directors to proceed with or effect the Merger. The Duff & Phelps opinion is limited to examining the fairness of the Offer and the Merger as of February 23, 2005 to the public shareholders of Calprop, excluding Zaccaglin, Curci, and members of their respective families and their affiliates, from a financial point of view (without giving effect to any impacts of the Offer and the Merger on any particular shareholder other than in its capacity as a shareholder).

     In particular, Duff & Phelps did not conduct a market test of any kind to determine whether or not a better price could have been obtained. The analyses performed by Duff & Phelps were not necessarily indicative of future actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. The analyses did not purport to be appraisals or to reflect prices at which a company might actually be sold or the value or trading price of Calprop’s shares then or at any subsequent time. Duff & Phelps’ opinion to the Special Directors Committee was one of many factors taken into consideration by the Special Directors Committee in making its determination to approve the Offer and the Merger.

     In rendering its fairness opinion, Duff & Phelps relied upon the fact that the Special Directors Committee, the board of directors, and Calprop had been advised by counsel as to all legal matters with respect to the Offer and the Merger, including whether all procedures required by law to be taken in connection with the Offer and the Merger would be duly, validly and timely taken; and Duff & Phelps did not make, and assumed no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal matter. Duff & Phelps also assumed that all of the conditions required to implement the Offer and the Merger would be satisfied and that the Merger would be completed in accordance with the “Offer Letter” and draft “Offer to Purchase” (as defined below for purposes of this subsection) provided to Duff & Phelps.

     In preparing its forecasts, performing its analysis and rendering its fairness opinion with respect to the Offer and the Merger, Duff & Phelps (i) relied upon the accuracy, completeness, and fair presentation of all information, data, advice, opinions and representations obtained from public sources or provided to it from private sources, including Calprop management, and did not attempt to independently verify such information, (ii) assumed that any estimates, evaluations and projections furnished to Duff & Phelps were reasonably prepared and based upon the last currently available information and good faith judgment of the person furnishing the same, and (iii) assumed that the final versions of all documents reviewed in draft form conform in all material respects to the drafts reviewed. In connection with its fairness opinion, Duff & Phelps did take the following steps, among others:

     Duff & Phelps did not make or obtain, or assume responsibility for making or obtaining, any independent evaluation or appraisal of the properties, assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Calprop, nor was it furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. Their fairness opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, an analysis of Calprop’s credit worthiness or otherwise as tax advice or as accounting advice. Duff & Phelps did not take into consideration any potential value that may be attributed to any unasserted legal claims that Calprop may have, and valued Calprop’s net operating losses based on the assumption that they were transferred outside of bankruptcy to an unrelated buyer and hence were subject to the limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

     In connection with the preparation of its fairness opinion, Duff & Phelps made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Merger. Duff & Phelps’ fairness opinion was also based upon its assessment of the general, economic and financial market conditions, as they could be evaluated by Duff & Phelps as of February 23, 2005. Although developments following the date of the Duff & Phelps opinion may affect that opinion, Duff & Phelps assumed no obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm its opinion.

     Summary of Methodology of Duff & Phelps. The following is a summary, prepared by Duff & Phelps, of the material financial analyses performed by Duff & Phelps in connection with rendering its opinion. The summary of the financial analyses is not a complete description of all of the analyses performed by Duff & Phelps. THE DUFF & PHELPS OPINION IS BASED ON THE TOTALITY OF THE VARIOUS ANALYSES THAT IT PERFORMED, AND NO PARTICULAR PORTION OF THE ANALYSIS HAS ANY MERIT STANDING ALONE.

     Due to the nature of Calprop’s business, lack of earnings, and the lack of comparable public companies, Duff & Phelps determined that certain common valuation methodologies, including a comparable public company analysis and comparable sale transaction analysis, were not useful. Accordingly, as described below, Duff & Phelps’

 


Table of Contents

opinion relied on (i) an analysis of Calprop’s net asset value; (ii) a review of the historical trading price of Calprop’s common stock over the past twelve months and (iii) a premium analysis in which they reviewed the transaction premiums paid over market price for 34 public-to-private transactions and four real estate development companies. Duff & Phelps also took into account its experience in transactions and valuations.

     While this summary describes the analysis and factors that Duff & Phelps deemed material in its presentation to the Special Directors Committee, it is not a comprehensive description of all analyses and factors considered by Duff & Phelps or a complete description of the presentation of Duff & Phelps to the Special Directors Committee. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process that involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Duff & Phelps did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, Duff & Phelps believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered by it, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its opinion. Several analytical methodologies were employed and no one method of analysis should be regarded as critical to the overall conclusion reached by Duff & Phelps. Each analytical technique has inherent strengths and weaknesses, and the nature of the available information may further affect the value of particular techniques. The conclusion reached by Duff & Phelps was based on all analyses and factors taken as a whole, and also on application of Duff & Phelps’ own experience and judgment. This conclusion involved significant elements of subjective judgment and qualitative analysis. Duff & Phelps gave no opinion as to the value or merit standing alone of any one or more parts of the analysis it performed.

     Net Asset Value Analysis. Duff & Phelps analyzed the estimated fair market value of Calprop’s assets and liabilities to determine Calprop’s net asset value. Because Calprop has significant net operating loss carryforwards, or “NOLs,” Duff & Phelps also estimated the value a third party buyer may be able to realize from the NOLs in a “change of control” transaction. Using information provided by Calprop to them, this analysis yielded a net asset value ranging from ($0.06) per share to $0.17 per share as of February 23, 2005 as summarized below. Following the chart is a brief summary of the material assumptions used by Duff & Phelps to prepare the chart.

Murrieta Farms

     Murrieta Farms consists of approximately 25 acres of unimproved land in Riverside County, California. Calprop has submitted a tentative tract map to the City of Murrieta for the development of the property with 67 single family homes on approximately 7,000 square foot lots. Calprop expects that the earliest potential date for approval of the tentative map would be during March 2005. Calprop currently has an option to purchase Murrieta Farms for a price of approximately $4.65 million. The period of the option has been extended several times. The most recent extension, which expires March 8, 2005, was negotiated in December 2004 at which time Calprop was required to increase the deposit by approximately $100,000.

     Because Murrieta Farms itself lacks connection to necessary infrastructure such as access roads and utility connections, its development depends on development of the adjacent properties to bring access to infrastructure connections closer, which has yet to begin. Murrieta Farms is also subject to certain government regulations known as “HANS” (Habitat Assessment and Sight Acquisition Review) which requires that a strip of land running across the property must remain in its natural state.

     Calprop believes that the purchase and development of Murrieta Farms would require an equity investment of approximately $2.4 million (in addition to bank financing under a construction loan). To date, Calprop has not identified a source for that money,

and has tentatively decided not to exercise its option. If Calprop does not exercise that option, there will be no value attributable to Murrieta Farms. However, Duff & Phelps also developed a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the value of cash flows that would accrue to Calprop’s benefit if it could in fact find a suitable partner to develop Murrieta Farms.

     Their analysis of Murrieta Farms, based upon detailed financial projections Calprop provided, also included an assessment of the changes in potential value resulting from different assumptions regarding project timing and appropriate discount rates as presented in the table below:

      663       595       533       478    
         
 
                                   

     This analysis yielded an estimated fair market value for Murrieta ranging from approximately zero (in the event the option is not exercised) to $835,000.

Smolin

     Smolin consists of unimproved land located in Riverside County, California which Calprop purchased in December 2003. A tentative tract map for Smolin has been approved for the development of 28 single family homes ranging in size from approximately 3,000 to 6,000 square feet. Although Calprop entered into a letter of intent for the sale of Smolin for $3.15 million, the potential buyer notified Calprop in December 2004 that it did not intend to complete that transaction. As a result, Calprop could either pursue development of Smolin or seek another buyer. Duff & Phelps relied upon detailed financial projections Calprop provided them to develop a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the value of cash flows that would accrue to Calprop’s benefit from the development of Smolin. Their analysis of Smolin also included an assessment of the changes in potential value resulting from different assumptions regarding project timing and appropriate discount rates as presented on the table below:

Table of Contents

     This analysis yielded an estimated fair market value for Smolin ranging from approximately $2.7 million to $3.8 million, which brackets the $3.15 million purchase price contemplated under the prior letter of intent.

Winkler Acres

     Winkler Acres consists of approximately 64 acres of unimproved land located in Riverside County, California which Calprop sold in June 2004. $8.4 million of the purchase price remains to be collected, of which $5.4 is payable to Calprop upon the recording of the final tract map for Winkler Acres (currently expected in March 2005), and the remaining $3.0 million is payable when Winkler Acres is fully graded and inspected (“blue topped”) condition (currently expected in April, 2005).

     Duff & Phelps used the total amount of $8.4 million as the estimated fair market value of Winkler Acres. Because of the near term nature of the expected receipts, no present value discount was applied.

Highridge Court

     Highridge Court comprises a 170-unit housing development in Thornton, Colorado. Calprop estimated that the remaining 12 units could be completed by the end of March 2005 for net proceeds (after remaining costs) of approximately $2.2 million.

     Although there is a debt of approximately $3.0 million associated with the property, because that debt is reflected as related party loans in Duff & Phelps’ net asset value analysis, Duff & Phelps used the net proceeds of $2.2 million as the estimated fair market value of Highridge Court. Because of the near term nature of the expected receipts, no present value discount was applied.

Other Assets

     The other assets, excluding cash and equivalents, included in Duff & Phelps’ analysis of Calprop’s net asset value consisted of escrow deposits, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, and other miscellaneous assets. In determining the low end of the range of fair market value for the aggregate other assets, Duff & Phelps excluded a $51,000 deposit for Winkler and a $325,000 deposit for Murrieta. In contrast, the high estimate of fair market value included the Murrieta deposit and reversed a $30,000 reserve related to an outstanding trust deed.

Valuation of Net Operating Loss

     As of September 30, 2004, Calprop had operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $40.6 million and $11.5 million,

 


Table of Contents

respectively. These net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) expire between 2013 and 2022 for federal and between 2005 and 2008 for state tax purposes.

     NOLs may be used under certain circumstances to offset pre-tax income on a dollar-for-dollar basis for tax purposes. However, in a sale outside of bankruptcy to a third party, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes significant restrictions on the amount of the NOL which can be used in any year, thereby significantly reducing their potential value. The annual offset to income would be limited to Calprop’s equity value at the date of the transaction multiplied by the applicable long-term tax exempt rate, which is currently 4.27%. Based on the $0.65 per share in the Offer and the Merger, the implied equity value of Calprop is approximately $6.3 million based on 9,737,205 shares outstanding. Therefore, the annual deduction would be limited to approximately $270,000 in a change of control transaction. Assuming (i) that Calprop generates enough income to utilize the maximum annual deduction; (ii) a blended federal and state tax rate of 40%; (iii) a federal tax rate of 34%; and (iv) a discount rate of 17%, the present value of Calprop’s NOLs in a “change of control” transaction would be approximately $553,000.

     However, as the Section 382 limitations would not apply to the Control Shareholders, the value of the NOLs to them could in fact be significantly higher. The estimated value of the NOLs to the Control Shareholders is somewhat speculative as it depends on their ability to attract additional capital and generate taxable income, as well as the timing of that income. No projections were made available to Duff & Phelps on those matters. However, as an example, using discount rates ranging from 17% to 27% and assuming equal use of the NOLs over periods ranging from 5 to 15 years, the value of the NOLs to the Control Shareholders could range from approximately $0.40 to $1.00 per share.

     Consistent with its practice in other similar transactions, Duff & Phelps performed its analysis using the value of the NOLs to a buyer in a change of control transaction which would trigger the Section 382 limitation and therefore did not include the value to the Control Shareholders in its financial analysis. However, the Special Directors Committee did consider the value of the NOLs to the Control Shareholders in the course of its negotiations and in its analysis of the Offer and the Merger.

Liabilities

     Duff & Phelps included the amounts of Calprop’s related party notes in the calculation and analysis of Calprop’s net asset value. These related party notes aggregate approximately $13.4 million of the approximately $15.5 million in total liabilities. Approximately $12.8 million of the related party notes are held by Messrs Curci or Zacagglin or their families or affiliates. Other liabilities include trust deeds and notes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and warranty reserves. Duff & Phelps excluded Calprop’s deferred liability of approximately $1.0 million in the calculation of Calprop’s net asset value because it relates to funds received from the sale of Winkler Acres which will be returned if Calprop is unable to achieve the required milestones.

 


Table of Contents

Contingent Liabilities / Assets

     Additionally included in Duff & Phelps’ analysis of Calprop’s net asset value are estimates supplied by Calprop regarding any contingent liabilities or assets. These contingent liabilities or assets include various lawsuits pending for which Calprop is in some cases the plaintiff and in other cases Calprop is the defendant. The net aggregate impact on Calprop from these lawsuits is estimated to provide Calprop with a net asset of approximately $400,000. Duff & Phelps has not taken into consideration any potential value that may be attributed to any unasserted legal claims that Calprop may have.

     Analysis of Current and Historical Trading Prices of Calprop’s Common Stock. In addition to calculating Calprop’s net asset value, Duff & Phelps analyzed the closing price, bid/ask spread and trading volume of the common stock of Calprop over the past twelve months. This analysis was used to determine the range of value the market ascribed to Calprop’s common stock prior to the announcement of the Merger.

     Calprop’s common shares are thinly traded with significant bid/ask price spreads. Over the latest twelve month period ended February 18, 2005, transactions involving public shares of Calprop occurred on 49 out of approximately 240 potential trading days. During this same period, bid/ask spreads for Calprop’s shares ranged from 27% to 940% of the bid price.

     As shown in the chart below, Calprop’s stock price closed at $0.13 per share prior to December 13, 2004, the date Calprop filed its Form 10-Q, which included the announcement of a potential going-private transaction. During the 52-week period between February 18, 2004 and February 18, 2005, the 52-week high for the trading price of Calprop’s stock was $0.27, and the 52-week low was $0.10, with a one-year weighted average closing price of $0.16.

Transaction Premium Analysis. Duff & Phelps also reviewed the transaction premiums paid over market price for 34 public-to-private transactions and four transactions of

 


Table of Contents

companies in the real estate development industry occurring from January 1, 2004, through January 31, 2005.

     Duff & Phelps concluded that the median 1-week transaction premium for the 34 going private transactions was 24% and the median 1-month transaction premium was 26%. Furthermore, Duff & Phelps concluded that the median 1-week transaction premium for the real estate development companies was 43% and the median 1-month transaction premium was 39%. This compares to the implied 330% 1-week transaction premium and 550% one month transaction premium for Calprop.

     Based on its analysis, Duff & Phelps concluded that the control premium implied by the $0.65 per share consideration to be received in the proposed Merger for the common stock of Calprop was adequate relative to the premiums paid in other similar sale transactions.

     Conclusion. Based on its analysis and subject to the limitations and assumptions set forth in the opinion, it was Duff & Phelps’ opinion that, as of February 23, 2005, the Offer and the Merger were fair to the public shareholders of Calprop from a financial point of view (without giving effect to any impacts of the Merger on any particular shareholder other than in its capacity as a shareholder.) For the purpose of its analysis and opinion, Duff & Phelps defined the term “public shareholders” as including all owners of Calprop common stock other than Mr. Victor Zaccaglin, Mr. John Curci, Sr., and members of their respective families and their affiliates. The foregoing summary is qualified by reference to the written opinion dated as of February 23, 2005, of Duff & Phelps, which is attached to this Statement as Exhibit (c)(1).

     INTENT TO TENDER

     To the knowledge of Calprop, each executive officer and director of Calprop, except for Zaccaglin, currently intends to tender all Shares held of record or beneficially owned by that person pursuant to the Offer. Calprop understands that, as of the date of this Statement, the executive officers and directors of Calprop (excluding Zaccaglin) held or had the right to acquire a total of 81,746 Shares (including options).

Item 5. Persons/Assets Retained, Employed, Compensated or Used

     Calprop retained Duff & Phelps to render financial advisory services to the Special Committee on an exclusive basis concerning the Special Committee’s assessment of Calprop’s strategic alternatives.

     Calprop’s engagement letter with Duff & Phelps provides that, for its services, Duff & Phelps is entitled to receive $125,000 due and payable as follows: $62,500 in cash upon execution of the engagement letter and the remaining $62,500 in cash upon delivery of the opinion, whether or not the opinion is favorable. Calprop has also agreed to reimburse Duff & Phelps for its out-of-pocket expenses and to indemnify and hold harmless Duff & Phelps and its affiliates and any other person, director, employee or agent of Duff & Phelps or any of its affiliates, or any person controlling Duff & Phelps or its affiliates, for certain losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities relating to or

 


Table of Contents

arising out of services provided by Duff & Phelps as financial advisor to Calprop. The terms of the fee arrangement with Duff & Phelps, which Calprop and Duff & Phelps believe are customary in transactions of this nature, were negotiated at arm’s length between Calprop and Duff & Phelps, and the Calprop board of directors was aware of these fee arrangements.

Item 6. Interest in Securities of the Subject Company

     No transactions in Calprop Common Stock have been effected during the past 60 days by Calprop or, to the knowledge of Calprop, by any executive officer, director or affiliate of Calprop.

Item 7. Purposes of the Transaction and Plans or Proposals

     Except as set forth in this Statement, Calprop is not currently undertaking or engaged in any negotiations in response to the Offer or Merger that relate to or would result in: (a) a tender offer for or other acquisition of Calprop’s securities by Calprop, any of its subsidiaries or any other person, (b) an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Calprop or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a purchase, sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Calprop or any of its subsidiaries or (d) a material change in the present dividend policy, indebtedness or capitalization of Calprop.

Item 8. Additional Information

     Incorporation by Reference. The information contained in the Offer To Purchase filed as Exhibit (a)(1) herewith is incorporated herein by reference.

     Effects of the Transaction. As stated before, there is currently no active trading market for Calprop’s Shares. The Shares are not listed on a securities exchange or traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Bid and asked quotations for Calprop’s Shares are reported on the OTC Bulletin Board only and there has been no significant trading activity in Calprop’s Shares over the past twelve months. The purchase of Calprop Shares pursuant to the Offer will reduce the number of Calprop Shares that are currently available to trade publicly and would likely reduce the number of holders of Calprop Shares, which could further reduce the liquidity and market value of the remaining Calprop Shares held by stockholders other than Zaccaglin, Curci, and their family members and/or affiliates. Calprop cannot predict whether the reduction in the number of Calprop Shares that might otherwise trade publicly would have an adverse or beneficial effect on the market price for or marketability of the Calprop Shares, but believes it would be reasonable to expect that it would further reduce the market trading activity of the Calprop Shares.

     Merger; Other Effects. If Newcal owns at least 90% of the outstanding Calprop Shares following completion of the Offer, Newcal will have the ability to complete the Merger without a meeting or vote of the public stockholders of Calprop pursuant to the “short form” merger provisions of Section 1110 of the California General Corporation Law. In such circumstances, Newcal currently intends to effect the Merger as soon as practicable and without seeking the approval of the public stockholders of Calprop.

 


Table of Contents

Furthermore, if the Merger occurs, Calprop will be a privately held corporation. Following the Offer and the Merger, persons who were stockholders of Calprop immediately prior to the Offer and the Merger will not have any continuing ownership interest in Calprop and therefore will not share in any future earnings and growth of Calprop.

     Price Range of the Calprop Shares; Dividends on the Calprop Shares. The Calprop Shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “CLPO.” The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the reported high and low bid and asked quotations for the Calprop Shares, together with the volume of Calprop Shares traded, each as reported by IDD Information Services, Tradeline (r), during the indicated periods:

     On March 21, 2005, a recent trading day prior to the commencement of this Offer, the closing quotations for Calprop common stock as reported by IDD Information Services, Tradeline (r) were $0.25 bid and $0.51 asked per Share. Stockholders may wish to consider obtaining current market quotations for Calprop Shares. Please be advised that there is very little trading activity for Calprop Shares and, accordingly, published market quotations are not necessarily reliable indications of the value of the Calprop Shares.

     Calprop has not paid cash dividends on its Calprop Shares since over the past five years and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future if it remains a publicly held company.

Calprop Board of Directors and Special Committee
Unanimously Recommend Stockholders Accept
Tender Offer in Going Private Transaction


Cash Tender Offer Price $0.65 Per Share, Net

     MARINA DEL REY, CA (March 25, 2005) – Calprop Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CLPO) today announced that a special committee of its board of directors and its full board of directors have each approved, and recommend that Calprop stockholders accept, a tender offer that has been commenced by NewCal Corporation for all of the publicly-held shares of Calprop Corporation common stock at a cash price of $0.65 per share, net to the selling stockholders.

     The tender offer is being made in connection with a proposal by Victor Zaccaglin, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Calprop, to convert Calprop Corporation into a privately-held company. NewCal Corporation was incorporated by Mr. Zaccaglin to conduct the tender offer. If the tender offer is successful, NewCal Corporation will be merged into Calprop Corporation in a transaction in which cash will be paid at the same per share price as that paid in the tender offer for any remaining publicly-held shares of Calprop Corporation common stock not tendered in the tender offer.

     The special committee of the Calprop board of directors has determined that the tender offer by NewCal is fair to and in the best interests of the public stockholders of Calprop. This determination by the special directors committee was based in part on the written opinion of Duff & Phelps, LLC, which was engaged as an independent financial advisor to the special

 


 

directors committee, that the per share price offered in the tender offer and proposed to be paid in the merger is fair from a financial point of view to Calprop’s public stockholders.

     The tender offer is conditioned on a sufficient number of shares being tendered to constitute, together with the Calprop shares owned by Mr. Zaccaglin and certain other persons, at least 90% of Calprop Corporation’s outstanding common stock and at least a majority of the shares of Calprop’s common stock that are owned by the public stockholders of Calprop (not including shares held by any director or executive officer of Calprop).

Special Committee of the Board of Directors
Calprop Corporation
13160 Mindanao Way
Suite 180
Marina Del Rey, CA 90292

Dear Members of the Special Committee:

The Board of Directors of Calprop Corporation (“Calprop” or the “Company”) has engaged Duff & Phelps, LLC (“Duff & Phelps”) as its independent financial advisor to provide an opinion (the “Opinion”) as to the fairness to the public shareholders of Calprop, from a financial point of view, of the contemplated transaction described below (the “Proposed Transaction”)(without giving effect to any impact of the Proposed Transaction on any particular shareholder other than in its capacity as a shareholder). For the purpose of this analysis, the term “Public Shareholders” is defined as including all owners of Calprop common stock other than Mr. Victor Zaccaglin, Calprop’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. John Curci, Sr., and members of their respective families and their affiliates. Previously, Duff & Phelps has not provided financial advisory services to the Company, Mr. Zaccalin or Mr. Curci.

Description of the Proposed Transaction

It is our understanding that a newly formed company, NewCal Corporation (“NewCal”), is offering to purchase all of the outstanding common stock of Calprop not owned by Mr. Zaccaglin, Mr. Curci or members of their respective families and their affiliates, for cash consideration of $0.65 per share. Mr. Zaccaglin, Mr. Curci, and members of their respective families and their affiliates (collectively the “Control Shareholders”), are the beneficial owners of approximately 83% of the outstanding common stock of Calprop. It is our further understanding that the Control Shareholders will contribute all of their Calprop shares to NewCal in exchange for 100% of the common stock of NewCal. Subject to a majority of the Public Shareholders tending their Calprop stock, and NewCal owning at least 90% of Calprop stock after the tender offer, NewCal will be merged into Calprop, and Calprop will cease to be publicly traded. Any shares not tendered will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment of $0.65 per share.

Duff & Phelps also took into account its assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions, as well as its experience in securities and business valuation, in general, and with respect to similar transactions, in particular. Duff & Phelps did not make any independent evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of the Company’s solvency or of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise). This Opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, an analysis of the Company’s credit worthiness or otherwise as tax advice or as accounting advice. Duff & Phelps has not taken into consideration any potential value that may be attributed to any unasserted legal claims that the Company may have, and valued the net operating losses of the Company based on the assumption that they were transferred outside of bankruptcy to an unrelated buyer and hence were subject to the limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, Duff & Phelps is not expressing any opinion as to the market price or value of the shares after completion of the Proposed Transaction. In rendering this Opinion, Duff & Phelps relied upon the fact that the Special Committee and the Company have been advised by counsel as to all legal matters with respect to the Proposed Transaction, including whether all procedures required by law to be taken in connection with the Proposed Transaction have been duly, validly and timely taken; and

Duff & Phelps has not made, and assumes no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal matter.

In preparing its forecasts, performing its analysis and rendering its Opinion with respect to the Proposed Transaction, Duff & Phelps (i) relied upon the accuracy, completeness, and fair presentation of all information, data, advice, opinions and representations obtained from public sources or provided to it from private sources, including Company management, and did not attempt to independently verify such information, (ii) assumed that any estimates, evaluations and projections furnished to Duff & Phelps were reasonably prepared and based upon the last currently available information and good faith judgment of the person furnishing the same, and (iii) assumed that the final versions of all documents reviewed by us in draft form conform in all material respects to the drafts reviewed. Duff & Phelps’ Opinion further assumes that information supplied and representations made by Company management are substantially accurate regarding the Company and the Proposed Transaction. Neither Company management nor its Board of Directors placed any limitation upon Duff & Phelps with respect to the procedures followed or factors considered by Duff & Phelps in rendering its Opinion.

In our analysis and in connection with the preparation of this Opinion, Duff & Phelps has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Proposed Transaction. Duff & Phelps has also assumed that all of the conditions required to implement the Proposed Transaction will be satisfied and that the Proposed Transaction will be completed in accordance with the Offer Letter and draft Offer to Purchase.

The basis and methodology for this Opinion have been designed specifically for the express purposes of the Special Committee and may not translate to any other purposes.

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which this Opinion is based proves to be untrue in any material respect, this Opinion cannot and should not be relied upon.

Duff & Phelps has prepared this Opinion effective as of February 23, 2005. The Opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated as of such date, and Duff & Phelps disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Opinion which may come or be brought to the attention of Duff & Phelps after the date hereof. Notwithstanding and without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any change in any fact or matter affecting the Opinion after the date hereof and prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction, Duff & Phelps reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the Opinion.

This letter should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on Duff & Phelps’ part to any party.

It is understood that this Opinion is for the information of the Special Committee in connection with its consideration of the Proposed Transaction and may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent, except that this Opinion may be included in its entirety in any filing made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect of the Proposed Transaction and you may summarize or otherwise reference the existence of this Opinion in such documents provided that any such summary or reference language shall be subject to prior approval by Duff & Phelps. This Opinion is not a recommendation as to how any stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the Proposed Transaction, or whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction, nor does it indicate that the consideration paid is the best possible attainable under any circumstances. Instead, it merely states whether the price in the Proposed Transaction is within a range suggested by certain financial analysis. The decision as to whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction may depend on an assessment of factors unrelated to the financial analysis on which this Opinion is based.

Conclusion

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, Duff & Phelps is of the opinion that the Proposed Transaction is fair to the Public Shareholders of Calprop from a financial point of view (without giving effect to any impacts of the Proposed Transaction on any particular shareholder other than in its capacity as a shareholder).

Respectfully submitted,

AMENDMENT NO. ONE (1) TO PROMISSORY NOTE

     This Amendment No. One (1) to Promissory Note (the “First Amendment”) is entered into and is to be effective this 15th day of October, 1998 with respect to the Promissory Note in favor of CURCI-TURNER COMPANY, a California General Partnership, (the “Holder”) in the original principal amount of $1,500,00000 executed by CALPROP CORPORATION, a California Corporation, (the Promissory Note”) and is based upon the following facts:

RECITALS

     A. On April 8, 1998, CALPROP CORPORATION, a California Corporation, executed the Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,500,000.00 at Los Angeles, California in favor of CURCI-TURNER COMPANY, a California General Partnership. A copy of the Promissory Note is attached hereto and marked Exhibit “A”;

     B. In addition, Hunters Chase Ltd., a Colorado Limited Partnership, executed a Guaranty secured by Deed of Trust that guaranteed the repayment of said $1,500,000.00 Promissory Note (the “Deed of Trust”), which Deed of Trust was recorded on May 15, 1998 in Book 5334 at Page 307 in the official records of the County of Adams, State of Colorado.

     C. The parties hereto now which to amend the Promissory Note to provide, among other things, for an increase in the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note and further to provide for the Lender to participate in the net sales proceeds.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises contained herein, additional to those already made, CALPROP CORPORATION, a California Corporation, as Maker of the Promissory Note, and CURCI-TURNER COMPANY, a California General Partnership, as Holder of the Promissory Note and Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust, hereby agree to amend the Promissory Note in only the following respects:

     1. The outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note is hereby increased in the amount of $1,000,000.00 or so much of that amount that will be advanced from time to time so that the outstanding balance on the Promissory Note will increase from $1,500,000.00 to $2,500,000.00.

     2. Interest on the $1,000,000.00 increase in principal shall accrue from the date of the advancement of the funds in accordance with the terms of the Promissory Note and shall be payable along with the interest payments due on the Promissory Note on the first day of each consecutive month, commencing November 1, 1998 and continuing monthly until December 31, 2000, (the “Maturity Date”), at which time all outstanding principal and any accrued interest shall be due and payable.

     3. Until all principal has been paid, for each lot to be released from the Deed of Trust guaranteeing this Promissory Note, Calprop shall pay to Curci all of the net proceeds from escrow on the sale of each lot to a third party buyer plus any outstanding and unpaid interest accrued to the date of the release of said lot.

 


 

     4. Each payment shall be credited first to any late charges, expenses, premiums, penalties or fees due hereunder, next to interest then due and the remainder on principal, and interest shall cease upon the principal so credited. Should interest not be so paid, it shall thereafter bear like interest as the principal, but such unpaid interest so compounded shall not exceed an amount equal to simple interest on the unpaid principal at the maximum rate permitted by law.

     5. The Promissory Note together with this First Amendment is guaranteed by the Deed of Trust, as modified concurrently herewith, between Hunters Chase Ltd., a Colorado Limited Partnership, and Holder encumbering one hundred seventy (170) fully developed lots known as High Ridge Court, Thornton, Colorado.

     6. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default:

          (a) Failure of Calprop to make the payment of any installment of principal and/or interest on this note within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due;

          (b) A breach in the terms or a default in the performance of any obligation, covenant or agreement of Hunters Chase Ltd., or any successor Trustor, contained in the Deed of Trust or the Modification to Deed of Trust securing the Promissory Note as amended;

          (c) The sale, conveyance, assignment, alienation or refinance of the described real property in the Deed of Trust guaranteeing this Promissory Note as amended without the prior written consent of Holder.

     7. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the entire unpaid balance of principal on the Promissory Note as amended, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable, either immediately or at any time during the continuance of such event of default at the option of Holder.

     8. Any delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any rights hereof or under the terms of the Deed of Trust, shall not operate as a waiver of such rights or any other rights hereunder. Failure to exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same upon the occurrence of any subsequent event of default.

     9. Calprop acknowledges that late payment to Holder will cause Holder to incur costs not contemplated by this transaction, the exact amount of such costs being difficult and impracticable to assess. Therefore, if any installment of interest or principal is not received by Holder within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due, Calprop shall pay to Holder an additional sum of six percent (6%) of the overdue amount as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Holder will incur by reason of late payment. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue amount, and shall not prevent Holder from exercising any of the other remedies available to Holder.

     10. The loan proceeds delivered to Calprop from time to time by Holder shall be utilized by Calprop solely for the following purposes: (a) For the purchase of the 170 lots in

 


 

Thornton, Colorado guaranteeing this Promissory Note; and (b) to pay construction and other developmental costs on the 170 lots.

     11. Calprop warrants and agrees that it shall cause to be constructed a single-family dwelling on each of the One Hundred Seventy (170) lots guaranteeing this Promissory Note as amended and shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the improved lots to be sold in a timely manner.

     12. In addition to the interest payable to Holder herein pursuant to this Promissory Note, Calprop promises to pay to Holder Fifty Percent (50%) of the “Net Sale Proceeds” as hereinafter defined from the sale of the entire One Hundred Seventy (170) improved lots securing this Promissory Note which real property and all improvements now or hereafter constructed thereon shall be referred to collectively as the High Ridge Court at Thornton, Colorado, (the “Project”). The following definitions apply to the provisions of this paragraph:

          A. “Net Sale Proceeds” shall mean the Gross Sales Price (as defined herein) of the Project, less the sum of (a) the Sales Costs (as defined herein), (b) the principal sums paid per lot to Holder to release the lots from the deed of trust guaranteeing this loan, (c) Interest paid to Holder on the Promissory Note as amended, and (d) Calprop’s Investment (as defined herein).

          B. “Gross Sales Price” shall mean the price received from bona fide sales of individual improved lots with single family residences in the Project to third parties, as evidenced by written agreements of purchase and sale.

          C. “Sales Costs” shall mean a brokerage commission not to exceed six percent (6%) of the Gross Sales Price plus all closing costs paid or incurred by the Seller.

          D “Calprop’s Investment” shall mean Calprop’s share of the Raw Land Cost plus all land development costs, financing costs, legal fees, development and processing fees, marketing costs and other costs and expenses paid or incurred by Calprop including a Four Percent (4%) corporate overhead fee in connection with the development of the Project.

     13. “Net Sales Proceeds” shall not be distributed to Calprop or Holder until the entire principal and accrued interest on the Promissory Note as amended have been paid in full to Holder to release Holders lien against the project.

     14. The Promissory Note as amended represents an evidence of indebtedness as defined In California Corporations Code Section 25117. Calprop represents and warrants to Holder that Calprop has its common stock listed on a national securities exchange.

     15. Nothing in the Promissory Note as amended herein is intended to form a partnership, joint venture or tenants in common nor require Holder to participate in any costs, liabilities, expenses or losses to Calprop.

     16. If an attorney is engaged by either party to enforce or construe any provision of the Promissory Note as amended, or as a consequence of any Default or event of Default, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, then the prevailing party shall immediately be entitled, on demand, to all attorneys’ fees and all other costs incurred by said party. If an

 


 

action is commenced by either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to a judgment for reasonable attorney fees and costs.

     17. Time is of the essence of each obligation of Calprop hereunder.

     18. The Promissory Note as amended herein shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Amendment No. One (1) to Promissory Note on the day and year set forth above at Los Angeles, California.

     E. Guarantor, and Guarantor’s successors, assigns and successor Trustors under the Deed of Trust, now wish to modify the Deed of Trust to provide for the collateral guaranty of the Promissory Note to be increased by the additional $1,000,000.00 to be advanced by Holder to Calprop.

     3. The Guarantor, its successor and assigns, hereby authorizes the Holder at any time in its discretion without notice or demand and without affecting the Indebtedness and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder to:

          (a) Enter into agreements with Calprop and in accordance therewith, renew, extend, amend, waive, restructure, refinance, release, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the indebtedness, including (i) increase or decrease in the indebtedness or the rate of interest on the indebtedness and (ii) any amendment of the indebtedness to permit the Holder to extend further or additional accommodations to Calprop in any form, including credit by way of loan, lease, sale or purchase of assets, guarantee, or otherwise, which shall thereupon be and become subject to the indebtedness and (iii) to subordinate the Deed of Trust to additional obligations secured by deeds of trust to be secured by the real property securing this Deed of Trust.

     (b) Accept new or additional documents, instruments or agreements relative to the indebtedness;

     (c) Consent to the change, restructure or termination of the individual, partnership, or corporate structure or existence of Calprop, Guarantor or an affiliate of Calprop or Guarantor and correspondingly restructure the indebtedness;

     (I) Assign the Indebtedness or the Deed of Trust in whole or in part.

     3. Guarantor’s obligations under the Deed of Trust are independent and separate of those of any other person or entity. The Holder may bring a separate action against the Guarantor and Guarantor waives any right to require the Holder to proceed against Calprop or any other person, firm or corporation or to proceed against or exhaust any other security held by it at any time or to pursue any other remedy in its power and Guarantor agrees that the Holder shall not be obligated to resort to any other security, including security given by Calprop, with any priority,

 


 

in any particular order or at all even if such action destroys, alters or otherwise impairs subrogation rights of Guarantor, or the rights of Guarantor to proceed against Calprop for reimbursement, or both.

     4. Guarantor, its successors or assigns, hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of:

          (a) Any right to require Holder to proceed against Calprop or any other person or any security now or hereafter held by the Holder or to pursue and other remedy whatsoever.

          (b) Any defense based upon any legal disability of Calprop or any other person, or any discharge of limitation of the liability of Calprop or any other person, to the Holder, or any restraint or stay applicable to actions against Calprop or any other person, whether such disability, discharge, limitation, restraint or stay is consensual, or by order of a court or other governmental authority, or arising by operation of law or any liquidation, reorganization, receivership, bankruptcy, insolvency, or debtor-relief proceeding, or from any other cause;

          (c) Presentment, demand, protest, setoffs, counterclaims, and notice of any kind;

          (d) Any defense based upon the modification, renewal, extension or other alteration of the indebtedness;

          (e) Any defense based upon the negligence of the Holder, including, without limitation, the failure to record an interest under a deed of trust, the failure to perfect any security interest, or the failure to file a claim in any bankruptcy of Calprop, Guarantor or of any other person;

          (f) Any defense based upon a statute of limitations to the fullest extent permitted by law and any defense based upon the Holder’s delay in enforcing the Deed of Trust;

          (g) All rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, all rights to enforce any remedy that the Holder may have against Calprop or any other person, and all rights to participate in any security held by the Holder for the Indebtedness, until the Indebtedness has been performed in full, and any defense based upon the impairment of any subrogation rights that Guarantor might have;

          (h) Any defense based upon or arising out of any defense which Calprop may have to the performance of any part of the Indebtedness;

          (i) Any defense to recovery by the Holder of a deficiency after nonjudicial sale of real or personal property, any defense based upon the unavailability to the Holder of recovery of a deficiency judgment after nonjudicial sale of real or personal property.

          (j) Any defense based upon the death, incapacity, lack or authority or termination of existence or revocation thereof by any person or entity or persons or entities, or the substitution of any party hereto;

 


 

                 (k) Any defense base upon or related to Guarantor’s lack of knowledge as to Calprop’s financial condition; and

          (I) Any defense or right based upon the acceptance by the Holder or an affiliate of the Holder of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, without extinguishing the debt, even if such acceptance destroys, alters or otherwise impairs subrogation rights of Guarantor, or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Calprop for reimbursement, or both.

     5. Guarantor, by execution hereof, represents to the Holder that the relationship between Guarantor and Calprop is such that Guarantor has access to all relevant facts and information concerning the Indebtedness and Calprop and that the Holder can rely upon Guarantor having such access. Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert any duty on the part of the Holder to disclose to Guarantor any facts that it may now or hereafter know about Calprop, regardless of whether the Holder has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor. Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Calprop and all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonpayment of any Indebtedness hereby secured.

     6. Upon a default under the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, Holder may elect to foreclose nonjudicially or judicially against any real or personal property security it holds for the Indebtedness or any part thereof, or exercise any other remedy. No such action by Holder will release or limit the liability of Guarantor, even if the effect of that action Is to deprive Guarantor of the right to collect reimbursement from Calprop or any other person for any sums paid to Holder, or to obtain reimbursement by means of any security held by Holder for the Indebtedness or to impair any tight of Guarantor of subrogation.

                 (a) Guarantor understands that the exercise by Holder of certain rights and remedies may eliminate Guarantor’s right of subrogation against Calprop, if any, and that Guarantor may therefore succeed to a partially or totally non-reimbursable liability hereunder. Nevertheless, Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Holder to exercise in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination of rights and remedies that may then be available, since it is the intent and purpose of Guarantor that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.

                 (b) Guarantor understands that if Holder elects to foreclose non-judicially against any real property security Holder holds for the indebtedness or any part thereof, Guarantor may have subrogation rights that might be destroyed.

     7. Guarantor waives demand, protest and notice of any kind including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness or of any action or non-action on the part of Calprop, the Holder, any endorser, any creditor of Calprop or Guarantor under this or any other instrument, or any other person whatsoever, in connection with any Indebtedness or evidence of Indebtedness held by the Holder as collateral or in connection with any Indebtedness secured hereby.

     8. With or without notice to Guarantor, the Holder, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, in such manner and upon such terms as it considers best, may (a) apply

 


 

any and all payments or recoveries from Calprop, from Guarantor, from any Guarantor or endorser, or realized from any security, in such manner, order and priority as the Holder elects, to any Indebtedness of Calprop to the Holder whether or not such indebtedness is secured hereby or is otherwise secured or is due at the time of such application; and (b) refund to Calprop any payment received by the Holder upon any indebtedness hereby secured and payment of the amount refunded shall be fully secured hereby.

     9. No exercise or non-exercise by the Holder of any right hereby or otherwise given it, no dealing by the Holder with Calprop or any other person, and no change, impairment or suspension of any right or remedy of the Holder shall in any way affect any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder or give Guarantor any recourse against the Holder.

     10. If any term or provision of the Deed of Trust, this Modification or the application thereof to any person, entity or circumstances shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Deed of Trust, this Modification or the application of such terms or provisions to persons, entities, or circumstances other than those to which it is held Invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term or provision of the Deed of Trust and this Modification shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     11. All of Holder’s remedies are cumulative. No delay or failure by Holder to exercise any right or remedy against Guarantor or any other person will be construed as a waiver of that right or remedy. All Indebtedness under the Deed of Trust and this Modification are Joint and several.

     12. The Deed of Trust together with this Modification thereto shall create a continuing security interest in the security interests granted which secures the Indebtedness including any indebtedness arising in subsequent and successive transactions. Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke the Deed of Trust or Modification thereto and any other benefits or defenses and expressly agrees that the Deed of Trust and Modification shall apply and be irrevocable with respect to any indebtedness created or incurred after actual receipt by Holder of any written notice of revocation by Guarantor which indebtedness arises out of any extension, renewal, advance, additional advances, refunding, replacement or modification of any indebtedness originally created prior to the actual receipt of such written notice regardless of whether such extension, renewal, advance, additional advance, refunding, replacement or modification occurs prior to or after such revocation.

     13. In the event the terms or provisions of the Deed of Trust differ from or are in any way inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Modification, the terms and provisions of this Modification shall be deemed to govern the obligations, rights and relationship of the Holder and Guarantor.

     14. The parties hereby adopt the facts as set forth in the Recitals as the basis for and in consideration of the entering into this Amendment.

     15. Except as modified herein, all other terms and conditions of the Deed of Trust shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

PROMISSORY NOTE

$5,000,000.00   Marina Del Rey, California
  July 17. 2001

     For value received, the undersigned, CALPROP CORPORATION a California Corporation, (“Maker” or “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of CURCI-TURNER COMPANY, LLC, A California Limited Liability Company, (“Holder” or “Lender”), at 717 Lido Park Drive, Newport Beach, California 92663 or at such place as may be designated in writing by Holder, the principal sum of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), or so much of that sum as may be advanced from time to time to Maker by Holder under this Promissory Note, together with interest upon such sums as shall be advanced hereunder, as of the date of advancement, at the rate of Fifteen Percent (15%) per annum, (the “Interest Rate”), based on a 365 day year and charged on the basis of actual days elapsed.

     1. Payment Schedule, Maturity Date. This loan shall be repaid as follows:

     A. Interest only shall be payable monthly as it accrues on the principal from time to time outstanding, commencing on the first (1st) day of August, 2001 and continuing on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter.

     B. Except as otherwise provided herein, all outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on July 16, 2004, (the “Maturity Date”), unless the Maturity Date has been extended in writing by mutual agreement of the parties.

     2. Application of Payments. All Interest on this Note shall accrue from the date of advance or disbursement and be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty five (365) day year. Each payment to Holder shall be first applied to the payment of fees, costs and expenses for which Maker Is liable hereunder, next to the payment of accrued Interest, then to the reduction of principal. This note shall continue to bear interest at the Interest Rate (or at the Default Rate if and so long as any Event of Default exists), until and including the date of collection. Interest, which is not paid when due, shall be compounded monthly and shall bear interest at the Default Rate, described below.

     3. Prepayment. At any time up through July 16, 2002, the outstanding principal of this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part by Maker upon payment to Holder of a prepayment penalty of $750,000.00. Said prepayment penalty of $750,000.00 shall be reduced by the total amount of all interest paid by Maker to Holder on the Promissory Note up to the time of prepayment This Note may be prepaid without penalty any time after one year from the date hereof.

     4. Default. Acceleration. Maker agrees that it shall be an “Event of Default” hereunder.

        (a) If Maker fails to pay: (i) any installment of interest within ten (10) days after the due date thereof; (ii) principal after the due date thereof; or (iii) within ten (10) days

 


 

following written demand for the payment of any other charge or sum when due under the terms of this Note; or

         (b) It a breach In the terms or an Event of Default occurs in the performance of any obligation, covenant or agreement of Guarantor contained in the Stock Pledge Agreement, as defined below.

     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the entire principal sum, with accrued interest thereon due under this Note, shall, at the option of Holder, become Immediately due and payable, and Holder shall be entitled to collect all such amounts and to enforce any and all remedies provided In the Stock Pledge Agreement.

     5. Late Charge Default Rate. In the event any amount due under this Note is not paid when due and shall remain unpaid at the end of the tenth (10) day after the date on which it is to be paid, Maker shall pay to the Holder a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount so delinquent, the parties recognizing that the late charge is a reasonable approximation of an actual loss which would be difficult to estimate. The late charge shall be assessed for each such monthly installment or amount in default, shall be due and payable with such payment without demand being required and shall be fully secured by the Stock Pledge Agreement. The imposition or collection of the late charge from time to time shall not be in lieu of any other remedy of the Holder, and the failure to collect the same shall not constitute a waiver of the Holder’s right to require such payment for past or future defaults. If and so long as any Event of Default exists under this Note, the Interest Rate on this Note and on any judgment obtained for the collection of this Note, shall be increased from the date of default to a rate, (the “Default Rate”), equal to five percent (5%) per annum higher than the Interest Rate.

     6. Collateral. This Note is guaranteed by Victor Zaccaglin pursuant to a Personal Guaranty secured by Stock Pledge Agreement (the “Stock Pledge Agreement”), of even date herewith encumbering 3,000,000 shares of common stock of Calprop Corporation, (the “Collateral”).

     7. Costs of Collection. Maker promises to pay all costs, expenses and attorney’s fees incurred by the Holder hereof in the exercise of any remedy (with or without litigation), in any proceeding for the collection of the debt or the realization upon any other security securing this Note, in protecting or sustaining the Collateral, or in any litigation or controversy arising from or connected with this Note or the Collateral. Maker shall also pay all of Holder’s costs and attorney’s fees incurred in connection with any demand, workout, settlement, compromise or other activity In which Holder engages to collect any portion of this debt not paid when due or as a result of any other default of Maker. If a judgment is obtained thereon which includes an award of attorney’s fees, such attorney’s fees costs and expenses shall be in such amount as the court shall deem reasonable, which judgment shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date it is rendered to and including the date of payment to Holder.

     8. Usury. This Promissory Note represents an evidence of indebtedness as defined In California Corporations Code Section 25117. Calprop represents and warrants to Holder that Calprop has its common stock listed on a national securities exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any court of competent jurisdiction should determine that the Interest Rate exceeds that which is statutorily permitted for this type of transaction, the Interest Rate shall be reduced

 


 

to the highest rate permitted by applicable law, with any excess interest collected being applied against principal or, if such principal has been fully repaid, returned to Maker on demand.

     9. Renewals. Maker and all others who may become liable for all or any part of this obligation, consent to any number of renewals or extensions of the time of payment hereof and to the release of any party liable for repayment of the obligations hereunder. Any such renewals, extensions or releases may be made without notice to any of said parties and without affecting their liability.

     10. Waivers. Maker hereby waives presentment, demand of payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of nonpayment and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever. No covenant, condition, right or remedy .in this Note may be waived or modified orally, by course of conduct or previous acceptance or otherwise unless such waiver or modification is specifically agreed to in writing executed by Holder. Without limited the foregoing, no previous waiver and no failure or delay by Holder in acting with respect to terms of this Note shall constitute a waiver of any breach, default or failure of a condition under this Note or any obligations contained herein or secured hereby. The undersigned further waives exhaustion of legal remedies and the right to plead any and all statutes of limitation as a defense to any demand on this Note, or to any agreement to pay the same, or to any demands secured by the Collateral for this Note.

     11. Governing Law and Interpretation. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. This Note and all other Loan Documents executed in connection with this Note have been reviewed and negotiated by Maker and Holder at arms’ length with the benefit of or opportunity to seek the assistance of legal counsel and shall not be construed against either party, regardless of who drafted such documents. The titles and captions in this Note are inserted for convenience only and in no way define, limit, extend or modify the scope or intent of this note. Any reference to Holder in this Note shall include any successor to or assignee of Holder. Time is of the essence of this Note and of each and every provision hereof.

     12. Partial Invalidity. If any section or provision of this Note is declared invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, said determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms hereof. No such determination in one jurisdiction shall affect any provision of this Note to the extent it Is otherwise enforceable under the laws of any other applicable jurisdiction.

     13. Full Power and Authority. Maker warrants that it has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Note, and this Note constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Maker, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

     14. No Partnership. Nothing in this Promissory Note is intended to form a partnership, joint venture or tenants in common nor require Holder to participate in any costs, liabilities, expenses or losses to Maker.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this promissory note on the day and year set forth above at Marina Del Rey, California.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Curci, in its sole discretion, may exercise its rights at any time under this Pledge Agreement whether or not it has taken any prior action under the Guaranty, however, once Curci elects to exercise its rights hereunder, Curci’s sole recourse shall be to direct the Pledge Holder to deliver to him the Collateral (or so much of the Collateral as is necessary so that the value of any Collateral thus delivered shall not exceed the amount of such default as determined by the amount by which the Guarantor failed to perform his obligation under the Guaranty) and to retain such Collateral in full satisfaction of Guarantor’s obligation under the Guaranty and hereunder. All remaining Collateral shall be returned to Guarantor.

     J. Guarantor, and Guarantor’s successors, assigns and successor Grantors under the Deed of Trust, now wish to modify the Deed of Trust to provide, among other things, for the collateral guaranty of the Promissory Note to be increased by the additional $1,900,000.00 to be advanced by Holder to Calprop.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises contained herein, additional to those already made and for the purpose of inducing Holder to advance the additional funds to Calprop, Guarantor, as Grantor under the Deed of Trust, and the Curci-Turner Company, as Holder of the Promissory Note and Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust, hereby agree to modify the Deed of Trust in only the following respects:

     1. This Modification to Deed of Trust has been executed by Guarantor, as a guarantee in addition to or other than Calprop’s obligation under the Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $2,350,000.00 or other indebtedness (the “Indebtedness”), which the Deed of Trust guarantees and secures full repayment.

     2. Guarantor hereby agrees to increase the amount of its Guarantee secured by this Deed of Trust from $2,350,000.00 to $4,291,145.97 in accordance with the provisions of Amendment No. Three referred to in Recital G above.

     3. The Guarantor, its successor and assigns, hereby authorizes the Holder at any time in its discretion without notice or demand and without affecting the Indebtedness and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder to:

          (a) Enter into agreements with Calprop and in accordance therewith, renew, extend, amend, waive, restructure, refinance, release, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the indebtedness, including (i) increase or decrease in the indebtedness or the rate of interest on the indebtedness and (ii) any amendment of the indebtedness to permit the Holder to extend further or additional accommodations to Calprop in any form, including credit by way of loan, lease, sale or purchase of assets, guarantee, or otherwise, which shall thereupon be and become subject to the indebtedness and (iii) to subordinate the Deed of Trust to additional obligations secured by deeds of trust to be secured by the real property securing this Deed of Trust.

          (b) Accept new or additional documents, instruments or agreements relative to the indebtedness;

          (c) Consent to the change, restructure or termination of the individual, partnership, or corporate structure or existence of Calprop, Guarantor or an affiliate of Calprop or Guarantor and correspondingly restructure the indebtedness;

2


 

          (d) Accept partial payments on the indebtedness;

          (e) Take and hold collateral, and direct the order and manner of sale thereof as the Holder in its sole discretion may determine;

          (f) Apply any collateral, and direct the order and manner of sale thereof as the Holder in its sole discretion may determine;

          (g) Settle, release on terms satisfactory to the Holder or by operation of law or otherwise, compound, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Indebtedness and/or collateral or any guaranty therefor in any manner, whether in liquidation, reorganization, receivership, bankruptcy or otherwise;

          (h) Release Calprop or any other party for all or any part of the Indebtedness; or

or

          (i) Assign the Indebtedness or the Deed of Trust in whole or in part.

     3. Guarantor’s obligations under the Deed of Trust are independent and separate of those of any other person or entity. The Holder may bring a separate action against the Guarantor and Guarantor waives any right to require the Holder to proceed against Calprop or any other person, firm or corporation or to proceed against or exhaust any other security held by it at any time or to pursue any other remedy in its power and Guarantor agrees that the Holder shall not be obligated to resort to any other security, including security given by Calprop, with any priority, in any particular order or at all even if such action destroys, alters or otherwise impairs subrogation rights of Guarantor, or the rights of Guarantor to proceed against Calprop for reimbursement, or both.

     4. Guarantor, its successors or assigns, hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of:

          (a) Any right to require Holder to proceed against Calprop or any other person or any security now or hereafter held by the Holder or to pursue and other remedy whatsoever.

          (b) Any defense based upon any legal disability of Calprop or any other person, or any discharge of limitation of the liability of Calprop or any other person, to the Holder, or any restraint or stay applicable to actions against Calprop or any other person, whether such disability, discharge, limitation, restraint or stay is consensual, or by order of a court or other governmental authority, or arising by operation of law or any liquidation, reorganization, receivership, bankruptcy, insolvency, or debtor-relief proceeding, or from any other cause;

          (c) Presentment, demand, protest, setoffs, counterclaims, and notice of any kind;

          (d) Any defense based upon the modification, renewal, extension or other alteration of the indebtedness;

3


 

          (e) Any defense based upon the negligence of the Holder, including, without limitation, the failure to record an interest under a deed of trust, the failure to perfect any security interest, or the failure to file a claim in any bankruptcy of Calprop, Guarantor or of any other person;

          (f) Any defense based upon a statute of limitations to the fullest extent permitted by law and any defense based upon the Holders delay in enforcing the Deed of Trust;

          (g) All rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, all rights to enforce any remedy that the Holder may have against Calprop or any other person, and all rights to participate in any security held by the Holder for the Indebtedness, until the Indebtedness has been performed in full, and any defense based upon the impairment of any subrogation rights that Guarantor might have;

          (h) Any defense based upon or arising out of any defense which Calprop may have to the performance of any part of the Indebtedness;

          (i) Any defense to recovery by the Holder of a deficiency after nonjudicial sale of real or personal property, any defense based upon the unavailability to the Holder of recovery of a deficiency judgment after nonjudicial sale of real or personal property.

          (j) Any defense based upon the death, incapacity, lack or authority or termination of existence or revocation thereof by any person or entity or persons or entities, or the substitution of any party hereto;

          (k) Any defense base upon or related to Guarantor’s tack of knowledge as to Calprop’s financial condition; and

          (l) Any defense or right based upon the acceptance by the Holder or an affiliate of the Holder of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, without extinguishing the debt, even if such acceptance destroys, alters or otherwise impairs subrogation rights of Guarantor, or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Calprop for reimbursement, or both,

     5. Guarantor, by execution hereof, represents to the Holder that the relationship between Guarantor and Calprop is such that Guarantor has access to all relevant facts and information concerning the Indebtedness and Calprop and that the Holder can rely upon Guarantor having such access. Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert any duty on the part of the Holder to disclose to Guarantor any facts that it may now or hereafter know about Calprop, regardless of whether the Holder has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor. Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Calprop and all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonpayment of any Indebtedness hereby secured.

     6. Upon a default under the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, Holder may elect to foreclose nonjudicially or judicially against any real or personal property security it holds for the Indebtedness or any part thereof, or exercise any other remedy. No such action by Holder will release or limit the liability of Guarantor, even if the effect of that action is to deprive Guarantor of the right to collect reimbursement from Calprop or any other person for any sums paid to

4


 

Holder, or to obtain reimbursement by means of any security held by Holder for the Indebtedness or to impair any right of Guarantor of subrogation.

          (a) Guarantor understands that the exercise by Holder of certain rights and remedies may eliminate Guarantor’s right of subrogation against Calprop, if any, and that Guarantor may therefore succeed to a partially or totally non-reimbursable liability hereunder. Nevertheless, Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Holder to exercise in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination of rights and remedies that may then be available, since it is the Intent and purpose of Guarantor that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.

          (b) Guarantor understands that if Holder elects to foreclose non-judicially against any real property security Holder holds for the indebtedness or any part thereof, Guarantor may have subrogation rights that might be destroyed.

     7. Guarantor waives demand, protest and notice of any kind including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness or of any action or non-action on the part of Calprop, the Holder, any endorser, any creditor of Calprop or Guarantor under this or any other instrument, or any other person whatsoever, in connection with any Indebtedness or evidence of Indebtedness held by the Holder as collateral or in connection with any Indebtedness secured hereby.

     8. With or without notice to Guarantor, the Holder, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, in such manner and upon such terms as it considers best, may (a) apply any and all payments or recoveries .from Calprop, from Guarantor, from any Guarantor or endorser, or realized from any security, in such manner, order and priority as the Holder elects, to any indebtedness of Calprop to the Holder whether or not such indebtedness is secured hereby or is otherwise secured or is due at the time of such application; and (b) refund to Calprop any payment received by the Holder upon any indebtedness hereby secured and payment of the amount refunded shall be fully secured hereby.

     9. No exercise or non-exercise by the Holder of any right hereby or otherwise given it, no dealing by the Holder with Calprop or any other person, and no change, impairment or suspension of any right or remedy of the Holder shall in any way affect any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder or give Guarantor any recourse against the Holder.

     10. If any term or provision of the Deed of Trust, this Modification or the application thereof to any person, entity or circumstances shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Deed of Trust, this Modification or the application of such terms or provisions to persons, entities, or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term or provision of the Deed of Trust and this Modification shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     11. All of Holder’s remedies are cumulative. No delay or failure by Holder to exercise any right or remedy against Guarantor or any other person will be construed as a waiver of that right or remedy. All Indebtedness under the Deed of Trust and this Modification are joint and several.

5


 

     12. The Deed of Trust together with this Modification thereto shall create a continuing security interest in the security interests granted which secures the Indebtedness including any indebtedness arising in subsequent and successive transactions. Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke the Deed of Trust or Modification thereto and any other benefits or defenses and expressly agrees that the Deed of Trust and Modification shall apply and be irrevocable with respect to any indebtedness created or incurred after actual receipt by Holder of any written notice of revocation by Guarantor which indebtedness arises out of any extension, renewal, advance, additional advances, refunding, replacement or modification of any indebtedness originally created prior to the actual receipt of such written notice regardless of whether such extension, renewal, advance, additional advance, refunding, replacement or modification occurs prior to or after such revocation.

     13. In the event the terms or provisions of the Deed of Trust differ from or are in any way inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Modification, the terms and provisions of this Modification shall be deemed to govern the obligations, rights and relationship of the Holder and Guarantor.

     14. The parties hereby adopt the fads as set forth in the Recitals as the basis for and in consideration of the entering into this Amendment.

     15. Except as modified herein, all other terms and conditions of the Deed of Trust shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

     (f)       The obligations of Buyer under paragraphs (d) and (e), above, shall survive termination of this Agreement.

     3.5       Approval/Disapproval.

     (a)       On or before the last day of the Review Period, Buyer may approve by written notice to Seller and the Title Company (an “Approval Notice”) or disapprove by written notice to Seller and the Title Company (a “Disapproval Notice”) the Property, Property Documents and the due diligence items referenced within Section 3.4(b). Unless Buyer delivers a Disapproval Notice on or before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have approved all matters associated with the Property, and to have elected to proceed to Closing. If, however, Buyer timely delivers a Disapproval Notice, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated without further action of either Buyer or Seller.

     (b)       If Buyer disapproves in writing any title matter shown in the Preliminary Report within the Review Period or/within three (3) business days of receiving new exceptions as referenced in paragraph 5.1, below, (“Title Objection”), Seller shall notify Buyer, within five (5) business days of Buyer’s Title Objection, whether or not Seller will cure such disapproved title matter prior to Closing. Failure of Seller to notify Buyer that Seller will cure such disapproved title matter, shall be deemed Seller’s election not to cure such title matter prior to Closing. If Seller does not respond to Buyer’s Title Objection as provided above, or if Seller notifies Buyer that Seller will not cure such disapproved title matter, Buyer shall, within three (3) business days of such notification, either waive its objection to such Title Objection or elect to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in the preceding sentence, then this Agreement shall be deemed terminated without further action of either Buyer or Seller. Failure of Buyer to notify Seller that Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement shall be deemed Buyer’s waiver of its title objection and Buyer’s agreement to proceed to Closing.

     3.6       Restoration of Property. If Buyer elects to cancel this Agreement as set forth in Section 33, Buyer shall, at its sole expense, restore the Property to its condition existing prior to any testing and examination which it conducts on the Property. Buyer also agrees to keep all information and reports obtained from Seller or relating to the Property or the proposed transaction confidential and Buyer will not disclose such information or reports to any person or entity, except for Buyer’s experts or consultants relating to the proposed purchase and sale, without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller. Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from any loss, cost, liability, expense, damage, or injury to person or property arising out of Buyer’s exercise of the rights granted in this Article. This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing.

     3.7       Contracts. If Buyer delivers an Approval Notice, on or before the last day of the Review Period Buyer shall notify Seller in writing as to which of the Contracts Buyer elects to assume at Closing. Seller shall notify the vendors under those Contract(s) which Buyer has not agreed to assume that, provided that Closing occurs hereunder, such Contracts shall terminate, effective as of the Closing Date; provided however, if any such non-assumed Contract does not permit Seller to terminate same within thirty (30) days or requires that Seller pay a fee to terminate same prior to Closing, Buyer shall be required at Closing to assume all obligations

 


 

thereunder until the effective date of the termination and to assume the obligation to pay, or to reimburse Seller for the payment of; the termination fee.

     3.8       Liquidated Damages. IF BUYER DEFAULTS HEREUNDER, THEN SELLER UNILATERALLY AND AT ITS OPTION MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY GIVING WRITTEN DEMAND TO BUYER AND TITLE COMPANY. THEREUPON, (i) SELLER SHALL BE RELIEVED OF ANY OBLIGATION TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO BUYER., (ii) TITLE COMPANY SHALL RETURN ALL DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS TO THE PARTIES WHO DEPOSITED SAME, (iii) ALL TITLE AND ESCROW CANCELLATION CHARGES SHALL BE CHARGED TO BUYER, (iv) BUYER SHALL IMMEDIATELY PAY TO SELLER ANY AND ALL LEGAL FEES INCURRED BY SELLER AS A CONSEQUENCE OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, INC WENT TO, RESULTING FROM OR ARISING FROM THE NEGOTIATION, PREPARATION, PERFORMANCE AND/OR PURSUIT OF REMEDIES OF OR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. AND (v) AFTER THE FOREGOING ITEMS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. EXCEPT FOR PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WHICH EXPRESSLY STATE THAT THEY SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

     BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY IMPRACTICAL AND DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES SELLER MIGHT SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT THE DELIVERY OF THE FOREGOING AMOUNTS TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT REPRESENTS A FAIR AND REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES, DO NOT CONSTITUTE A PENALTY, AND SHALL CONSTITUTE SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY FOR ANY BREACH BY BUYER.

     A.      On December 3, 1998, CALPROP CORPORATION, a California Corporation, (“Calprop”) executed a promissory note (the “Original Note”) in the original principal amount of Two Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,350,000.00) in favor of CURCI-TURNER COMPANY, a California general partnership (the “Original Payee”).

     B.      On May 24, 1999, COLORADO PACIFIC HOMES, INC., a Colorado Corporation (“CPH”), executed a guaranty to secure the obligation under the Original Note (the “Original Guaranty”), which was amended and restated on December 22, 2003.

     C.      Concurrently with the execution of the Original Guaranty, and to collateralize the Original Guaranty, CPH executed a deed of trust (the “Original Deed of Trust”) in favor of the Original Payee; the Original Deed of Trust granted to Original Payee a security interest in the real property described in the Original Deed of Trust.

     D.      Effective September 1, 1999, the CURCI-TURNER COMPANY, a California general partnership was merged into and became part of CURCI-TURNER COMPANY, a California limited liability company (the “LLC”).

     E.      On June 19, 2002, the Original Note was amended by Amendment No. One (1) to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2003.

     F.      On July 19, 2003, the Original Note was further amended by Amendment No. Two (2) to extend the maturity date to January 28, 2004.

     G.      On December 22, 2003, Calprop and the LLC executed that certain Amendment No. Three (3) to the Original Note to provide for a loan of additional funds in the amount of One Million Nine Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,900,000.00) from Original Payee to Calprop, and extended the maturity date to June 30, 2004. Concurrently therewith, that certain First Modification to the Original Deed of Trust (“First Modification”) was executed.

     H.      On December 24, 2003 the LLC assigned its interest in the Original Deed of Trust, as modified by the First Modification thereto, to CURCI INVESTMENTS, LLC, a California limited liability company.

     I.      CPH, concurrently with the execution of this Note, is selling specific lots to Maker, as evidenced by that certain Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Property and Escrow Instructions.

Should interest not be so paid, it shall thereafter bear like interest as the principal, but such unpaid interest so compounded shall not exceed an amount equal to simple interest on the unpaid principal at the maximum rate permitted by law. Should default be made in the payment of any installment when due, the whole sum of principal and interest shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the holder of this note.

Should suit be commenced or an attorney employed to enforce the payment of this note, the undersigned agrees to pay such additional sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorney’s fees. Principal and interest is payable in lawful money of the United States of America.

Trustor shall furnish, together with the foregoing financial statements and at any other time upon Beneficiary’s request, a rent schedule for the Property, if rental property, certified by Trustor, showing the name of each tenant, and for each tenant, the space occupied, the lease expiration date, the rent payable and the rent paid.

     8.        Condemnation. Trustor shall promptly notify Beneficiary of any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect, of the Property, or part thereof, and Trustor shall appear in and prosecute any such action or proceeding, unless otherwise directed by Beneficiary in writing. Trustor irrevocably authorizes and appoints Beneficiary, at Beneficiary’s option, as attorney-in-fact for Trustor, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in Beneficiary’s or Trustor’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking of the Property, whether direct or indirect, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such condemnation or other taking. The proceeds of any award, payment or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect, of the Property, or part thereof, or for conveyances in lieu of condemnation, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Beneficiary. Trustor authorizes Beneficiary to apply such awards, payments, proceeds or damages, after the deduction of Beneficiary’s expenses incurred in the collection of such amounts, in the same manner as provided above, with respect to insurance proceeds. Trustor agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any awards, proceeds, damages or claims arising in connection with such condemnation or taking as Beneficiary may require. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall require Beneficiary to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.

 


 

     9.        Waivers and Advance Consents by Trustor and Junior Lienholders.

     (a) Trustor and anyone who hereafter acquires an interest in the Property hereby agree that Beneficiary may, without notice, extend the time for payment of any indebtedness secured hereby, reduce or increase the payments or interest rate thereon, release anyone liable on any of the Secured Obligations, modify the terms of any of the Secured Obligations in any other material respect, release from the lien of this Deed of Trust any part of the Property, take or release other or additional security, consent to any map or plan of the Property, consent to the granting of any easement, or join in any extension or subordination agreement. Any actions taken by Beneficiary pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph shall not affect or impair any of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies hereunder. Trustor shall pay Beneficiary a reasonable service charge together with such title insurance premiums and attorney’s fees as may be incurred at Beneficiary’s option, for any such action if taken at Trustor’s request.

     (b) Trustor and anyone who hereafter acquires an interest in the Property waive notice of and waive any right to require Beneficiary to: (a) proceed against any other party liable on the Secured Obligations, or against any collateral before proceeding against Trustor or the Property; (b) disclose any information with respect to the financial or other condition of any party liable on the Secured Obligations, any collateral, other guaranties or action or nonaction by Beneficiary; (c) pursue any remedy or course of action in Beneficiary’s power whatsoever. Trustor waives any defense arising from any disability or other defense of any other party liable on the Secured Obligations or any guarantor or from the cessation of the liability of any other party liable on the Secured Obligations or any guarantor, whatever the cause, or by reason of any act or omission of Beneficiary or others which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any other party liable on the Secured Obligations or other guarantor or any collateral by operation of law or otherwise.. Until all of the Secured Obligations are satisfied in full, Trustor shall have no right of subrogation, and waives any right to enforce any remedy which Beneficiary now has or may have against any other party, and waives any benefit of any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary. Failure by Beneficiary to file or enforce a claim against the estate (whether in administration, bankruptcy, probate or other proceedings) of any other party liable on the Secured Obligations shall not affect Beneficiary’s rights hereunder. Beneficiary’s rights and remedies shall not be impaired if recovery from any other party liable on the Secured Obligations becomes barred by any statute of limitations or is otherwise prevented. Trustor agrees that, without losing any rights hereunder, Beneficiary may foreclose on or abandon any other real or personal property collateral for the Secured Obligations, even through such action by Beneficiary may destroy or impair rights of Trustor against other parties or collateral, for example, rights of subrogation or rights to assert the benefit of any anti-deficiency or one-action rules. Trustor expressly waives any defense provided by any statute of limitations in any action under this Deed of Trust or for the enforcement of any of the Secured Obligations to the maximum extent permitted by law. Trustor waives any setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, and notices of dishonor, and of the existence, creation, modifications or incurring of new or additional Secured Obligations, including but not limited to, any additional indebtedness.

     10.        Forbearance by Beneficiary Not a Waiver. Any forbearance by Beneficiary in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy. The acceptance by Beneficiary of payment of any sum secured by this Deed of Trust after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Beneficiary’s right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or

 


 

charges by Beneficiary shall not be a waiver of Beneficiary’s right to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust nor shall Beneficiary’s receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages operate to cure or waive Trustor’s default in payment of sums secured by this Deed of Trust.

     11.        Estoppel Certificate. Trustor shall within ten (10) days of a written request from Beneficiary furnish Beneficiary with a written statement duly acknowledged, setting forth the sums secured by this Deed of Trust and any right of setoff, counterclaim, or other defense which exists against such sums and the Secured Obligations.

     12.        Acceleration in Case of Borrower’s Insolvency. If Trustor shall voluntarily file a petition under the Federal Bankruptcy Act, as such Act may from time to time be amended, or under any similar or successor Federal statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangements or reorganization, or under any state bankruptcy or insolvency act, or file an answer in an involuntary proceeding admitting insolvency or inability to pay debts, or if Trustor shall fail to obtain a vacation or stay of involuntary proceedings brought for the reorganization, dissolution or liquidation of Trustor, or if Trustor shall be adjudged a bankrupt, or if a Trustee or receiver shall be appointed for Trustor or Trustor’s property, or if the Property shall become subject to the jurisdiction of a Federal bankruptcy court or similar state court, or if Trustor shall make an assignment for the benefit of Trustor’s creditors, or if there is an attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of any portion of Trustor’s assets and such seizure is not discharged within ten (10) days, then Beneficiary may at Beneficiary’s option, declare all of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable without prior notice to Trustor, and Beneficiary may invoke any remedies permitted by this Deed of Trust. Any attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with Trustor’s bankruptcy or any of the other aforesaid events shall be additional indebtedness of Trustor secured by this Deed of Trust pursuant to Paragraph 8 hereof.

     13.        Acceleration Upon Sale or Encumbrance. If the Trustor shall sell, convey or alienate said property or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or shall be divested of title, or any interest therein, in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby, at the option of the holder hereof, and without demand or notice, shall immediately become due and payable, to the extent not expressly prohibited by applicable law.

     14.        Notice. Except for any notice required under applicable law to be given in another manner, (a) any notice to Trustor provided for in this Deed of Trust or in the Note shall be given by mailing such notice by certified mail addressed to Trustor’s address stated above or at such other address as Trustor may designate by notice to Beneficiary as provided herein; and (b) any notice to Beneficiary shall be given by certified mail, return receipt requested to Beneficiary’s address stated above or to such other address as Beneficiary may designate by notice to Trustor as provided herein. Any notice provided for in this Deed of Trust or in the Note shall be deemed to have been given to Trustor or Beneficiary when given in the manner designated herein.

     15.        Actions by Beneficiary. In exercising any rights hereunder or taking any actions provided for herein, Beneficiary may act through its employees, agents or independent contractors as authorized by Beneficiary.

     16.        Captions and Gender. The captions and headings of the paragraphs of this Deed of Trust are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions hereof. In this Deed of Trust, whenever the context so requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural.

     17.        Governing Law; Usury. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. In the event that any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted

 


 

to be collected from Trustor is interpreted so that any charge provided for in this Deed of Trust or in the Secured Obligations, whether considered separately or together with other charges in connection with this Deed of Trust and the Secured Obligations, violates such law, and Trustor is entitled to the benefit of such law, such charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Beneficiary in excess of the amounts payable to Beneficiary pursuant to such charge as reduced shall be applied by Beneficiary to reduce the principal of the indebtedness evidenced by the Secured Obligations in the inverse order of its maturity.

     18.        Waiver of Statute of Limitation. Trustor and all junior lienholders hereby waive the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien of this Deed of Trust or to any action brought to enforce any of the Secured Obligations.

     19.        Waiver of Marshalling. Notwithstanding the existence of any other collateral held by Beneficiary, Beneficiary shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein. Beneficiary shall have the right to determine the order in which any of the Secured Obligations are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the remedies provided herein. Trustor, any party who consents to this Deed of Trust, and any party who now or hereafter acquires a security or other interest in the Property and who has actual or constructive notice hereof waive any and all rights to require the marshalling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein.

     20.        Assignment of Leases and Rents: Appointment of Receiver: Beneficiary in Possession.

     (a) As part of the consideration for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all the present and future leases, subleases, rents and revenues of the Property, including those now due, past due, or to become due by virtue of any lease or other agreement for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property, regardless of to whom the rents and revenues of the Property are payable. Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary or Beneficiary’s agents to collect the aforesaid rents and revenues and hereby directs each tenant of the Property to pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary’s agents, provided, however, that prior to written notice given by Beneficiary to the tenants, Trustor shall collect and receive all rents and revenues of the Property as Trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary, it being intended by Trustor and Beneficiary that this assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Upon the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement in this Deed of Trust and without the necessity of Beneficiary entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Property in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Beneficiary shall immediately be entitled to possession of all rents and revenues of the Property as specified in this paragraph as the same becomes due and payable, including, but not limited to, rents then due and unpaid, and all security deposits. Trustor agrees that each tenant of the Property shall make such rents payable to and pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary’ s agents on Beneficiary’s written demand to each tenant therefor without any liability on the part of said tenant to inquire further as to the existence of a default by Trustor.

     (b) Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary signed copies of all leases now existing or hereafter made affecting all or any part of the Property, and all leases now or hereafter entered into will be in form and substance subject to the approval of Beneficiary. Trustor shall not, without Beneficiary’s written consent, execute, modify, surrender or terminate, either orally or in writing, any lease now existing or hereafter made affecting all or any part of the Property, or permit an assignment or sublease of such lease without Beneficiary’s written consent, or request or consent to the subordination of any lease of all or any part of the Property to any lien

 


 

subordinate to this Deed of Trust. If Trustor becomes aware that any tenant proposes to do, or is doing any act or thing which may give rise to any right of setoff against rent, Trustor shall (i) take such steps as shall be reasonably calculated to prevent the accrual of any right to a setoff against rent; and (ii) within ten (10) days after such accrual, reimburse the tenant who shall have acquired such right to setoff or take such other steps as shall effectively discharge such setoff and as shall assure that rents thereafter due shall continue to be payable without setoff or deduction.

     (c) The assignment of leases to Beneficiary and Beneficiary’s demand for or receipt of any rents shall not cause Beneficiary to be deemed a beneficiary/mortgagee-in-possession of the Property and shall not obligate Beneficiary to perform any of the obligations of Trustor as landlord or owner of the Property.

     (d) Trustor hereby covenants that Trustor has not executed any prior assignment of said rents, that Trustor has not performed, and will not perform, any acts or has not executed, and will not execute, any instrument which would prevent Beneficiary from exercising its rights under this paragraph, and that at the time of execution of this Deed of Trust, there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the rents of the Property for more than two months. Trustor further covenants that Trustor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary such further assignments of leases, subleases, rents and revenues of the Property as Beneficiary may from time to time request on a form satisfactory to Beneficiary.

     (e) Upon Trustor’s breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy of Beneficiary’ security, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Property in order to perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof including, but not limited to, the execution, cancellation or modification of leases, the collection of all rents and revenues of the Property, the making of repairs to the Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management or maintenance of the Property, all on such terms as Beneficiary may determine to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. In the event Beneficiary elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon Trustor’s breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust, Trustor hereby expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver. Beneficiary or the receiver shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for so managing the Property.

     (f) All rents and revenues collected by Beneficiary shall be applied first to the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, receiver’s fees, premiums on receiver’s bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies, taxes, assessments and other charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation or liability of Trustor as landlord of the Property, payment of the lien secured by the Deed of Trust, and then to the Secured Obligations. Beneficiary and the receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of the Property and shall be liable to account only for those rents actually received. Beneficiary shall not be liable to Trustor, or to anyone claiming under or through Trustor or to anyone having an interest in the Property, by reason of any act or omission by Beneficiary.

     (g) Any entering upon and taking and maintaining of control of the Property by Beneficiary or the receiver and any application or rents as provided herein shall not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any other right or remedy of Beneficiary under applicable law or provided herein.

 


 

     21.        Remedies Cumulate. Each remedy provided in this Deed of Trust to Beneficiary is distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under this Deed of Trust, any of the documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order whatsoever, in the sole discretion of Beneficiary.

     22.        Acceleration in the Event of Default: Remedies: Foreclosure. Should breach or default be made by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any other Secured Obligations, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable, and in such case, shall execute and deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale and written notice of default and election to cause the Property to be sold, and shall surrender to Trustee this Deed of Trust, any agreements or instruments secured hereby and all documents evidencing any expenditures hereunder. Thereafter, Trustee shall sell the Property at public auction to the highest bidder by non-judicial foreclosure proceedings in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Beneficiary may also foreclose this Deed of Trust by judicial foreclosure.

     23.        Application of Proceeds of Sale. Trustee shall apply the proceeds of any such sale to payment of (a) all costs, fees, charges and expenses of Trustee and of these trusts, fees of any attorney employed by Trustee and/or Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions hereof, Trustee’s fees in connection with sale, and all expenses of sale, including cost of procuring guarantee of title in connection with the sale proceedings and documentary stamps on Trustee’s Deed; (b) the lien secured by the Deed of Trust; (c) the Secured Obligations, including indebtedness described herein, all sums advanced or expended under the terms hereof and not then repaid, the amount unpaid on any additional sums borrowed, with interest on each of the foregoing items, in accordance with the provisions hereof, all in such manner and order of priority or preference as the Beneficiary may in its sole and absolute discretion determine; (d) the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto, upon proof satisfactory to the Trustee of such right.

     24.        Full Reconveyance. Upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured hereby have been paid, and upon surrender to Trustee of this Deed of Trust and any agreement or instrument secured hereby, and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Property then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The grantee in any reconveyance may be described as the person or persons legally entitled thereto.” Such person or persons shall pay Trustee a reasonable fee and Trustee’s costs incurred in so reconveying the Property.

     25.        Substitute Trustee. Beneficiary at any time and from time to time, by instrument in writing, may substitute and appoint a successor trustee (either corporate or individual) to any Trustee named herein or previously substituted hereunder, which instrument when executed, acknowledged and recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county or counties where said property is situated shall he conclusive proof of the proper substitution and appointment of each such successor trustee or trustees, who shall then have all the title, powers, and rights of the predecessor trustee, without the necessity of any conveyance from such predecessor. Trustee shall not be obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other deed of trust, or unless brought by Trustee, of any action or proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary or Trustee shall be a party. Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of Trust, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law.

     26.        Request for Notices. Trustor requests that copies of the notice of default and notice of sale be sent to Trustor at Trustor’s address stated above. In accordance with Section 2924b of the California Civil Code, request is hereby made by the Trustor that a copy of any Notice of Default be mailed to the Beneficiary at the address set forth above.

 


 

     27.        Statement of Obligation. Beneficiary may collect a fee, not to exceed the maximum allowed by applicable law, for furnishing a statement of obligation, payoff statement, or statement of account.

     28.        Severability. If any provision of this Deed of Trust, as applied to any party or to any circumstance, shall be found by a court to be void, invalid or unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any other provision of this Deed of Trust, the application of any such provision in any other circumstance, or the validity or enforceability of this Deed of Trust.

     29.        Time. Time is of the essence of this Deed of Trust.

     30.        Attorneys’ Fees. If any party hereto takes any action concerning the validity, construction, administration, performance, or enforcement of this Deed of Trust, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses, including actual attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith. Any litigation or arbitration between the parties shall occur exclusively in the County of Los Angeles, California.

     31.        Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, personal representatives, heirs, and assignees of the parties hereto.

     32.        Joint and Several Liability. If more than one person signs this Deed of Trust as Trustor, the obligations of each such person shall be joint and several hereunder.

DO NOT RECORD

The following is a copy of Subdivisions A and B of the fictitious Deed of Trust recorded in each County in California as stated in the foregoing Deed of Trust and incorporated by reference in said Deed of Trust as being a part thereof as if set forth at length therein.

A. To protect the security of this Deed of Trust, Trustor agrees:

(1) To keep said property in good condition and repair; not to remove or demolish any building thereon; to complete or restore promptly and in good and workmanlike manner any building which may be constructed, damaged or destroyed thereon and to pay when due all claims for labor performed and materials furnished therefor; to comply with all laws affecting said property or requiring any alterations or improvements to be made thereon; not to commit or permit waste thereof; not to commit, suffer, or permit any act upon said property in violation of law; to cultivate, irrigate, fertilize, fumigate, prune and do all other acts which from the character or use of said property may be reasonably necessary, the specific enumerations herein not excluding the general.

(2) To provide, maintain and deliver to Beneficiary fire insurance satisfactory to and with loss payable to Beneficiary. The amount collected under any fire or other insurance policy may be applied by Beneficiary upon any indebtedness secured hereby and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, or at option of Beneficiary the entire amount so collected or any part thereof may be released to Trustor. Such application or release shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.

(3) To appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; and to pay all costs and expenses, including cost of evidence of title and attorney’s fees in a reasonable sum, in any action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear, and in any suit brought by Beneficiary to foreclose this Deed.

 


 

(4) To pay: at least ten days before delinquency all taxes and assessments affecting said property, including assessments on appurtenant water stock; when due, all encumbrances, charges and liens, with interest, on said property or any part thereof, which appear to be prior or superior hereto; all costs, fees and expenses of this Trust.

Should Trustor fail to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, then Beneficiary or Trustee, but without obligation so to do and without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereof, may, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to enter upon said property for such purposes; appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in the judgment of either appears to be prior or superior hereto; and, in exercising any such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay his or her reasonable fees.

(5) To pay immediately and without demand all sums so expanded by Beneficiary or Trustee, with interest from date of expenditure at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof, and to pay for any statement provided for by law in effect at the date hereof regarding the obligation secured hereby, any amount demanded by the Beneficiary not to exceed the maximum allowed by law at the time when said statement is demanded.

B. It is mutually agreed:

(1) That any award of damages in connection with any condemnation for public use of or injury to said property or any part thereof is hereby assigned and shall be paid to Beneficiary who may apply or release such moneys received by him or her in the same manner and with the same effect as above provided for regarding disposition of proceeds of fire or other insurance.

(2) That by accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does not waive his or her right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare default for failure so to pay.

(3) That at any time or from time to time, without liability therefor and without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary

 


 

and presentation of this Deed and said note for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, Trustee may: reconvey any part of said property; consent to the making of any map or plat thereof; join in granting any easement thereon; or join in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.

(4) That upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured hereby have been paid, and upon surrender of this Deed and said note to Trustee for cancellation and retention or other disposition as Trustee in its sole discretion may choose and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the property then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The Grantee in such reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.”

(5) That as additional security, Trustor hereby gives to and confers upon Beneficiary the right, power and authority, during the continuance of these Trusts, to collect the rents, issues and profits of said property, reserving unto Trustor the right, prior to any default by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any agreement hereunder, to collect and retain such rents, issues and profits as they become due and payable. Upon any such default, Beneficiary may at any time without notice, either in person, by agent, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured, enter upon and take possession of said property or any part thereof, in his or her own name sue for or otherwise collect such rents, issues, and profits, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of said property, the collection of such rents, issues and profits and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.

(6) That upon default by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any agreement hereunder, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of written declaration of default and demand for sale and of written notice of default and

 


 

of election to cause to be sold said property, which notice Trustee shall Cause to be filed for record. Beneficiary also shall deposit with Trustee this Deed, said note and all documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby.

After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell said property at the time and place fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, 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 time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of said property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its deed conveying the property so sold, but 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 Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at such sale.

After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Trust, including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of: all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof; all other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

(7) Beneficiary, or any successor in ownership of any indebtedness secured hereby, may from time to time, by instrument in writing, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, which instrument, executed by the Beneficiary and duly acknowledged and recorded in the office of the recorder of the county or counties where said property is situated, shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the Trustee predecessor, succeed to all its title, estate, rights, powers and duties. Said instrument must contain the name of the original Trustor, Trustee and Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page where this Deed is recorded and the name and address of the new Trustee.

GENERAL GUARANTEE

TO: COMERICA BANK

     THIS GENERAL GUARANTEE (“GUARANTEE”), dated February 1, 2005 is made by Victor and Hannah Zaccaglin Trust dated Much 20, 1992 (the “Guarantor”), in favor of COMERICA BANK (the “Bank”), and is executed pursuant to the loan agreement dated as of the date of this GUARANTEE between the Bank and Drake Development, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Borrower”) (such loan agreement, as it may from time to time be supplemented, modified and amended, being referred to in this GUARANTEE as the “Agreement”), the provisions of which are incorporated in this GUARANTEE by reference. The Agreement provides, among other things, for rules of construction which apply to this GUARANTEE. Capitalized terms used in this GUARANTEE and not otherwise defined are used with the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Bank has agreed to make a loan to the Borrower in the amount of Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand And No/100 Dollars ($12,500,000.00) (the “Loan”) to finance the real estate or real estate project of the Borrower known as Moreno Valley Ranchos (the “Project”). The Loan will be secured by a Trust Deed executed by the Borrower with respect to the Project. As a condition of the obligation of the Bank to make the Loan, the Guarantor is required to execute and deliver to the Bank this GUARANTEE.

     To induce the Bank to make the Loan and for other valuable consideration, the Guarantor agrees as follows:

     1. Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the punctual and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the following (the “Guaranteed Obligations”):

          (a) all present and future indebtedness evidenced by the Note dated the date of this GUARANTEE in the face principal amount of Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand And No/100 Dollars ($12,500,000.00) executed by the Borrower in favor of the Bank, including principal, interest and all other amounts payable under the terms of the Note; and

          (b) all other present and future obligations of the Borrower to the Bank under the Loan Documents (including any Environmental Indemnity executed by the Borrower in favor of the Bank); in each case as such indebtedness and other obligations may from time to time be supplemented, modified, amended, renewed and extended, whether evidenced by new or additional Documents or resulting in a change in the interest rate on any indebtedness or otherwise. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all Guaranteed Obligations shall, at the option of the Bank, immediately become due and payable by the Guarantor without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Guarantor, and irrespective of whether any Guaranteed Obligations have then become due and payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party (each of the Borrower and any other Loan Party other than the Guarantor being referred to in this GUARANTEE as an “other Loan Party”).

1


 

     2. Nature of GUARANTEE. This GUARANTEE is a GUARANTEE of payment and performance and not of collection, is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future, including (a) interest and other Guaranteed Obligations arising or accruing after bankruptcy of any Loan Party or any sale or other disposition of any security for this GUARANTEE or for the obligations of any other Loan Party (any such security being referred to in this GUARANTEE as the “Security”), and (b) any Guaranteed Obligations that survive repayment of the Loan. This GUARANTEE and any Security for this GUARANTEE shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Bank or any other Person upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not occurred. The Guarantor shall have no authority to revoke this GUARANTEE, but if any such revocation shall be deemed to have occurred by operation of law or otherwise, the provisions of this GUARANTEE shall continue to apply notwithstanding such revocation.

     3 Obligations Independent. The obligations of the Guarantor under this GUARANTEE are independent of the obligations of any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents (such obligations of any other Loan Party, including the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, being referred to in this GUARANTEE as the “Other Obligations”) and any Security, and the enforceability of any Security for this GUARANTEE is likewise independent of any such Other Obligations and any other Security. The Bank may bring action against the Guarantor and otherwise enforce this GUARANTEE or any Security for this GUARANTEE without bringing action against any other Loan Party or joining any other Loan Party in any action against the Guarantor, and otherwise independently of any other Remedy that may be available to the Bank at any time with respect to any Other Obligations or Security. The Guarantor waives any right to require the Bank at any time to proceed against any other Loan Party, apply any Security or otherwise enforce, proceed against or exhaust any Other Obligations or Security or pursue any other Remedy in the Bank’s power.

     4. Action with Respect to Other Obligations or Security. The Guarantor authorizes the Bank, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability under or the enforceability of this GUARANTEE or any Security for this GUARANTEE, from time to time to:

          (a) supplement, modify, amend, renew, extend, accept partial payments or performance on or otherwise change the time, manner or place of payment or performance or the interest rate or other terms or the amount of, or release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer or consent to the transfer of or enter into or give any other agreement, approval, waiver or consent with respect to or in exchange for any Other Obligations or Security or any of the Loan Documents;

          (b) receive and hold additional Security or guaranties;

          (c) release any other Loan Party from any personal liability with respect to any Other Obligations and participate in any bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Loan Party in such manner as the Bank may determine; and

2


 

          (d) accelerate, settle, compromise, compound, sue for, collect or otherwise liquidate, enforce or deal with any Other Obligations or Security (including judicial or nonjudicial sale or other disposition of any Security), bid and purchase at any sale or other disposition of any Security and apply any Security and any proceeds or other payments received by the Bank, in each case in such order and manner as the Bank may determine.

     5. Waiver of Defenses. The Guarantor waives any defense to the enforcement of this GUARANTEE or any Security for this GUARANTEE arising by reason of:

          (a) any present or future Laws or orders affecting the terms of, or the Bank’s Remedies with respect to, any Other Obligations or Security;

          (b) the absence or cessation of personal liability of any other Loan Party with respect to any Other Obligations;

          (c) the failure of any other Person to execute this GUARANTEE or any other GUARANTEE or agreement;

          (d) the failure of any Loan Party to properly execute any Loan Document or otherwise comply with applicable legal formalities;

          (e) the unenforceability or invalidity of any Other Obligations or Security or the lack of perfection or failure of priority or any other loss or impairment of any Security;

          (f) any discharge or release of any other Loan Party or any Other Obligations or Security or any impairment or suspension of any Remedies of the Bank, whether resulting from any act or omission of the Bank or any other Person or by operation of law or otherwise;

          (g) any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Loan Party or any disability or other defense of any other Loan Party with respect to any Other Obligations or Security;

          (h) any failure of the Bank to disclose to the Guarantor any information relating to the financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or in the future known to the Bank (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Bank to disclose such information);

          (i) any failure of the Bank to monitor proper application of loan funds or compliance with the Loan Documents, or to preserve, insure or protect any Security or any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights of the Guarantor;

          (j) any application of proceeds or payments received by the Bank to obligations other than the Guaranteed Obligations; or

          (k) any other action by the Bank whether authorized by Section 4 or otherwise, or any omission by the Bank or other failure of the Bank to pursue, or any delay in pursuing, any other Remedy in the Bank’s power.

     The Guarantor further waives: (i) any defense to the recovery by the Bank against the Guarantor of any deficiency or otherwise to the enforcement of this GUARANTEE or any Security for this GUARANTEE based upon Bank’s election of any remedy against Guarantor or any other Loan Party, including, without limitation, the defense to enforcement of this GUARANTEE (the so-called “Gradsky” defense) which, absent this waiver, Guarantor would have by virtue of an election by Bank to conduct a non-judicial foreclosure sale of any real property Security for any Other Obligations, it being understood by Guarantor that any such non-judicial foreclosure sale will destroy, by operation of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580(d), all rights of any party to a deficiency judgment against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and, as a consequence, will destroy all rights which Guarantor would otherwise have (including, without limitation, the right of subrogation, the right of reimbursement, and the right of contribution) to proceed against the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party; (ii) any defense or benefits that may be derived from California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580d or 726, or comparable provisions of the Laws of any other jurisdiction and all other anti-deficiency and one form of action defenses under the Laws of California and any other jurisdiction; (iii) any right to a fair value hearing under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, or any other similar Law, to determine the size of any deficiency owing (for which Guarantor would be liable hereunder) following a nonjudicial foreclosure sale; (iv) any defense or benefits that may be derived from California Civil Code Sections 2808, 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2849 or 2850 or comparable provisions of the Laws of any other jurisdiction, and all other suretyship defenses it would otherwise have under the Laws of California or any other jurisdiction; (v) all benefits of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability under or the enforcement of this GUARANTEE or any Other Obligations or Security; (vi) all setoffs and counterclaims; (vii) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for performance and protest; (viii) notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor; (ix) except for any notice otherwise required by applicable Laws that may not be effectively waived by the Guarantor, notice of sale or other disposition of any Security; and (x) notice of acceptance of this GUARANTEE and of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations, and all other notices of any kind with respect to any Other Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Bank, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a Guaranteed Obligation, has destroyed the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the Borrower by the operation of Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

     Without limiting the foregoing, or anything else contained in this GUARANTEE, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that the Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things:

          (1) The Bank may collect from the Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower; and

4


 

defend and save and hold harmless the Bank from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses and charges (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Bank’s legal counsel and the reasonable charges of the Bank’s internal legal counsel) suffered or incurred by the Bank as a result of

          (a) any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, or

          (b) any failure of the Borrower to pay and perform any Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of such Guaranteed Obligations.

     9. Rights of Setoff. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Bank is authorized at any time and from time to time to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, and without notice or demand, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Bank to or for the credit or account of the Guarantor against any and all obligations of the Guarantor under this GUARANTEE.

     10. Financial Information. Upon request by the Bank, the Guarantor shall promptly provide to the Bank copies of requested financial statements and/or tax returns of the Guarantor. All such financial statements delivered to the Bank will be complete and correct and present fairly the financial condition of the Guarantor as of the date thereof under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (or such other method of preparation approved by the Bank) and will disclose all liabilities of the Guarantor that are required by the accounting method used to be reflected or reserved against, whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent. All tax returns submitted to the Bank by the Guarantor will be true and correct to the best of the knowledge of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that each time a financial statement or tax return is submitted by him to the Bank, the Guarantor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Bank that such financial statement or tax return complies with all of the above requirements and that since the date of such submitted financial statement there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of the Guarantor.

     11. Waivers and Amendments. No supplement to, modification or amendment of, or waiver, consent or approval under, any provision of this GUARANTEE shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Bank, and any waiver, consent or approval shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

     12. Remedies. Each of the Remedies provided in this GUARANTEE is cumulative and not exclusive of, and shall not prejudice, any other Remedy provided in this GUARANTEE or by applicable Laws or under any other Loan Document. Each Remedy may be exercised from time to time as often as deemed necessary by the Bank, and in such order and manner as the Bank may determine. No failure or delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any Remedy shall operate as a waiver of such Remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any Remedy preclude any other or further exercise of such Remedy or of any other Remedy. Any

5


 

Guarantor that is a married person agrees that Bank may look to all of his or her separate property and community property to satisfy his or her obligations under this GUARANTEE.

     13. Costs and Expenses. The Guarantor shall pay to the Bank on demand all costs, expenses and charges of the Bank in connection with the enforcement of or the exercise of any Remedy or any other action taken by the Bank wider or in connection with, this GUARANTEE or any Guaranteed Obligations, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Bank’s legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses, and the reasonable charges of the Bank’s internal legal counsel.

     14. Notices. All notices and other communications provided under this GUARANTEE shall be in writing and mailed or delivered to the Guarantor at the address set forth on the signature page of this GUARANTEE or at any other address in the State of California as may be designated by the Guarantor in a written notice sent to the Bank in accordance with the notice provision of the Agreement. Any notice or other communication will be effective:

          (a) if given by mail, on the earlier of receipt or the third day after deposit in the United States mails with first-class postage prepaid, or

          (b) if given by personal delivery, when delivered.

     15. Binding Agreement. This GUARANTEE shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Guarantor and the Bank and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Guarantor shall have no tight to assign any interest under this GUARANTEE without the prior written consent of the Bank. The Bank may from time to time assign its interest under this GUARANTEE in whole or in part without notice to or the consent of the Guarantor.

     16. Multiple Guarantors. If more than one Person signs this GUARANTEE as Guarantor, (a) the term “Guarantor” shall mean each such Person, (b) the obligations of each Guarantor shall be joint, several and independent, and (c) this GUARANTEE shall be construed and enforced as though each Guarantor executed a separate GUARANTEE on the terms set forth in this GUARANTEE.

     17. Governing Law. This GUARANTEE shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of California.

     18. Enforceability. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that: (a) the obligations undertaken by Guarantor in this GUARANTEE are complex in nature, and (b) numerous possible defenses to the enforceability of these obligations may presently exist and/or may arise hereafter, and (c) as part of Bank’s consideration for making the Loan, Bank baa specifically bargained for the waiver and relinquishment by Guarantor of all such defenses, and (d) Guarantor has had the opportunity to seek and receive legal advice from skilled legal counsel in the area of financial transactions of the type contemplated herein. Given all of the above, Guarantor does hereby represent and confirm to Bank that Guarantor is fully informed regarding, and that Guarantor does thoroughly understand: (i) the nature of all such possible defenses, and (ii) the circumstances under which such defenses may arise, and (iii) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon Guarantor, and (iv) the legal consequences to Guarantor of waiving

6


 

such defenses. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor makes this GUARANTEE with the intent that this GUARANTEE and all of the informed waivers herein shall each and all be fully enforceable by Bank, and that Bank is induced to make the Loan in material reliance upon the presumed full enforceability thereof.

     19. Jury Waiver. Guarantor and Bank acknowledge that the right to trial by jury is a constitutional one, but that it may be waived. Each party, after consulting (or having had the opportunity to consult) with counsel of their choice, knowingly and voluntarily, and for their mutual benefit waives any right to trial by jury in the event of litigation regarding the performance or enforcement of, or in any way related to, this agreement or the indebtedness.

     20. Reference Provision.

          a) The parties prefer that any dispute between them be resolved in litigation subject to a Jury Trial Waiver as set forth in the Loan Documents (defined below), but the availability of that process is in doubt because of the opinion of the California Court of Appeal in Grafton Partners LP v. Superior Court, 9 Cal.Rptr.3d 511. This Reference Provision will be applicable until the California Supreme Court completes its review of that case, and will continue to be applicable if either that court or a California Court of Appeal publishes a decision holding that a pre-dispute Jury Trial Waiver provision similar to that contained in the Loan Documents is invalid or unenforceable. Delay in requesting appointment of a referee pending review of any such decision, or participation in litigation pending review, will not be deemed a waiver of this Reference Provision.

          b) Other than (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of security interests in real or personal property, (ii) the appointment of a receiver or (iii) the exercise of other provisional remedies (any of which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law), any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the Bank and the undersigned (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the Superior Court or Federal District Court in the County or District where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).

          c) The referee shall be a retired Judge or Justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. The referee shall be appointed to sit with all the powers provided by law. Each party shall have one peremptory challenge pursuant to CCP §170.6. Pending appointment of the referee, the Court has power to issue temporary or provisional remedies.

7


 

          d) The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested to (a) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (b) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within ninety (90) days after the date of the conference and (c) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision. Any decision rendered by the referee will be final, binding and conclusive, and judgment shall be entered pursuant to CCP §644.

          e) The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.

          f) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

          g) The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, provide all temporary or provisional remedies, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a trial, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. The referee’s decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.

          h) If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or Justice, in accordance with

8


 

the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.

          i) THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY, AND THAT THEY ARE IN EFFECT WAIVING THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN AGREEING TO THIS REFERENCE PROVISION. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

GENERAL GUARANTY

(Real Estate Secured Loan)

TO: INDYMAC BANK, F.S.B.

     THIS GENERAL GUARANTY (“Guaranty”), dated February 17, 2005, is made by Drake Development, LLC, a California limited liability company; Victor Zaccaglin, an individual; The Victor and Hannah Zaccaglin Trust, dated March 20, 1992 and Scott C. Woodside, an individual (individually and collectively, the “Guarantor”), in favor of INDYMAC BANK, F.S.B. (the “Lender”), and is executed pursuant to the Building Loan Agreement dated as of the date of this Guaranty between the Lender and NORTHPARK 19, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Borrower”) (such Building Loan Agreement, as it may from time to time be supplemented, modified and amended, being referred to in this Guaranty as the “Agreement”), the provisions of which are incorporated in this Guaranty by reference. The Agreement provides, among other things, for rules of construction which apply to this Guaranty. Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty and not otherwise defined are used with the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Lender has agreed to make a loan to the Borrower in the amount of $6,500,000.00 (the “Loan”) to finance the real estate project of the Borrower known as Northpark (the “Project”). The Loan will be secured by a Trust Deed executed by the Borrower with respect to the Project. As a condition of the obligation of the Lender to make the Loan, the Guarantor is required to execute and deliver to the Lender this Guaranty.

     To induce the Lender to make the Loan and for other valuable consideration, the Guarantor agrees as follows:

     1. Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the punctual and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the following (the “Guaranteed Obligations”): (a) all present and future Indebtedness evidenced by the Note dated the date of this Guaranty in the face principal amount of $6,500,000.00 executed by the Borrower to the order of the Lender, including principal, interest and all other amounts payable under the terms of the Note; and (b) all other present and future obligations of the Borrower to the Lender under the Loan Documents (including any Environmental Indemnity executed by the Borrower in favor of the Lender and obligations in respect of Letters of Credit and Set Aside letters); in each case as such indebtedness and other obligations may from time to time be supplemented, modified, amended, renewed and extended, whether evidenced by new or additional Documents or resulting in a change in the interest rate on any Indebtedness or otherwise. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all Guaranteed Obligations shall, at the option of the Lender, immediately become due and payable by the Guarantor without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Guarantor, and irrespective of whether any Guaranteed Obligations have then become due and payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party (each of the Borrower and any other Loan Party other than the Guarantor being referred to in this Guaranty as an “other Loan Party”).

     2. Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the

1


 

future, including (a) interest and other Guaranteed Obligations arising or accruing after bankruptcy of any Loan Party or any sale or other disposition of any security for this Guaranty or for the obligations of any other Loan Party (any such security being referred to in this Guaranty as the “Security”), and (b) any Guaranteed Obligations that survive repayment of the Loan. This Guaranty and any Security for this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lender or any other Person upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not occurred. The Guarantor shall have no authority, and hereby waives any right, to revoke this Guaranty, but if any purported revocation shall be deemed to have occurred by operation of law or otherwise, the provisions of this Guaranty shall continue to apply notwithstanding such revocation.

     3. Obligations Independent. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the obligations of any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents (such obligations of any other Loan Party, including the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, being referred to in this Guaranty as the “Other Obligations”) and any Security, and the enforceability of any Security for this Guaranty is likewise independent of any such Other Obligations and any other Security. The Lender may bring action against the Guarantor and otherwise enforce this Guaranty or any Security for this Guaranty without bringing action against any other Loan Party or joining any other Loan Party in any action against the Guarantor, and otherwise independently of any other Remedy that may be available to the Lender at any time with respect to any Other Obligations or Security. The Guarantor waives any right to require the Lender at any time to proceed against any other Loan Party, apply any Security or otherwise enforce, proceed against or exhaust any Other Obligations or Security or pursue any other Remedy in the Lender’s power.

     4. Action with Respect to Other Obligations or Security. The Guarantor authorizes the Lender, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability under or the enforceability of this Guaranty or any Security for this Guaranty, from time to time to: (a) supplement, modify, amend, renew, extend, accept partial payments or performance on or otherwise change the time, manner or place of payment or performance or the interest rate or other terms or to amount of, or release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer or consent to the transfer of or enter into or give any other agreement, approval, waiver or consent with respect to or in exchange for any Other Obligations or Security or any of the Loan Documents; (b) reserve and hold additional Security or guaranties; (c) release any other Loan Party from any personal liability with respect to my Other Obligations and participate in any bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Loan Party in such manner as the Lender may determine; and (d) accelerate, settle, compromise, compound, sue for, collect or otherwise liquidate, enforce or deal with any Other Obligations or Security (including judicial or nonjudicial sale or other disposition of any Security), bid and purchase at any sale or other disposition of any Security and apply any Security and any proceeds or other payments received by the Lender, in each case in such order and manner as the Lender may determine.

     5. Waiver of Defenses. The Guarantor waives any defense to the enforcement of this Guaranty or any Security for this Guaranty arising by reason of: (a) any present or future Laws or orders affecting the terms of, or the Lender’s Remedies with respect to, any Other Obligations or Security; (b) the absence or cessation of personal liability of any other Loan Party with respect to any Other Obligations; (c)the failure of any other Person to execute this Guaranty or any other guaranty or agreement; (d) to failure of any Loan Party to properly execute any Loan Document or otherwise comply with applicable legal formalities; (e) the

2


 

unenforceability or invalidity of any Other Obligations or Security or the lack of perfection or failure of priority or any other loss or impairment of any Security; (f) any discharge or release of any other Loan Party or any Other Obligations or Security or any impairment or suspension of any Remedies of the Lender, whether resulting from any act or omission of the Lender or any other Person or by operation of law or otherwise; (g) any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Loan Party or any disability or other defense of any other Loan Party with respect to any Other Obligations or Security; (h) any failure of the Lender to disclose to the Guarantor any information relating to the financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or in the future known to the Lender (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Lender to disclose such information); (i) any failure of the Lender to monitor proper application of loan funds or compliance with the Loan Documents, or to preserve, insure or protect any Security or any subrogatlon, contribution or reimbursement rights of the Guarantor; (j) any application of proceeds or payments received by the Lender to obligations other then the Guaranteed Obligations; (k) any other action by the Lender, whether authorized by § 4 or otherwise, or any omission by the Lender or other failure of the Lender to pursue, or any delay in pursuing, any other Remedy in the Lender’s power, or (l) any defense arising from a claim that the obligations of the Guarantor are greater than those of the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of any election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudidal foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

     The Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that the Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things:

  1.   The Lender may collect from the Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower.
 
  2.   If the Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Borrower:

  (A)   The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral Is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price.
 
  (B)   The Lender may collect from the Guarantor even if the Lender, by foreclosing on the real properly collateral, has destroyed any right the Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower.

This Is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

     The Guarantor further waives: (i) any defense to the recovery by the Lender against the Guarantor of any deficiency or otherwise to the enforcement of this Guaranty or any Security for this Guaranty after a nonjudicial sale or other disposition of any Security for any Other Obligations that is determined, for any reason, to not have been conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, even though, in the case of any such Security subject to the Uniform Commercial Code, such failure may prevent the Guarantor from exercising Reimbursement

3


 

Rights against any other Loan Party; (ii) any rights, defenses or benefits that are or may be available to the Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code, or comparable provisions of the Laws of any other jurisdiction and all other suretyship defenses it would otherwise have under the Laws of California or any other jurisdiction; (iii) all benefits of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability under or the enforcement of this Guaranty or any Other Obligations or Security; (iv) all setoffs and counterclaims; (v) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for performance and protest; (vi) notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor; (vii) except for any notice otherwise required by applicable Laws that may not be effectively waived by the Guarantor, notice of sale or other disposition of any Security; and (viii) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations, and all other notices of any kind with respect to any Other Obligations.

     6. Waiver of Reimbursement Rights. Until all Other Obligations have been paid and performed in full, the Guarantor shall not exercise any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnification or any similar rights or remedies (collectively, “Reimbursement Rights”) against any other Loan Party, and waives any right to enforce any Remedy which the Lender now has or may in the future have against any other Loan Party and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any Security or Other Obligations now or in the future held by the Lender. If the Guarantor nevertheless receives payment of any amount on account of any such Reimbursement Rights or otherwise in respect of any payment or performance by the Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations prior to payment and performance in full of all Other Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and immediately paid to the Lender for application to the Other Obligations in such order and manner as the Lender may determine.

     7. Representations of the Guarantor. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender that: (a) this Guaranty Is executed at the request of the Borrower, (b) the Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from any other Loan Parties on a continuing basis information pertaining to, and is now and on a continuing basis will be completely familiar with, the financial condition, operations, properties and prospects of such other Loan Parties; (c) the Guarantor has received and approved copies of all of the other Loan Documents; and (d) no oral promises, assurances, representations or warranties have been made by or on behalf of the Lender to induce the Guarantor to execute and deliver this Guaranty.

     8. Financial Statements and Tax Returns. The Guarantor hereby agrees to deliver to the Lender, the following: (a) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Guarantor for so long as any portion of the Loan is outstanding, Financial Statements for the Guarantor, in form and detail satisfactory to the Lender, for and as at the end of such fiscal year, (b) upon request by the Lender from time to time, quarterly Financial Statements in form and detail satisfactory to the Lender, (c) Tax Returns for the Guarantor within 90 days of filing, and (d) upon the request by Lender from time to time, copies of audited Financial Statements prepared for the Guarantor, in each case certified in a manner acceptable to the Lender.

     9. Indemnification by the Guarantor. Without limitation on any other obligations of the Guarantor or Remedies of the Lender under this Guaranty, the Guarantor shall indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Lender from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses and charges (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Lender’s legal counsel and the reasonable charges of the Lender’s internal legal counsel) suffered or incurred by the Lender as a result of (a) any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower

4


 

enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (b) any failure of the Borrower to pay and perform any Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of such Guaranteed Obligations.

     10. Rights of Setoff. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, and without notice or demand, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or account of the Guarantor against any and all obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

     11. Waivers and Amendments. No supplement to, modification or amendment of, or waiver, consent or approval under, any provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Lender, and any waiver, consent or approval shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

     12. Remedies. Each of the Remedies provided in this Guaranty is cumulative and not exclusive of, and shall not prejudice, any other Remedy provided in this Guaranty or by applicable Laws or under any other Loan Document. Each Remedy may be exercised from time to time as often as deemed necessary by the Lender, and in such order and manner as the Lender may determine. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any Remedy shall operate as a waiver of such Remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any Remedy preclude any other or further exercise of such Remedy or of any other Remedy.

     13. Costs and Expenses. The Guarantor shall pay to the Lender on demand all costs, expenses and charges of the Lender in connection with the enforcement of, or the exercise of any Remedy or any other action taken by the Lender under or in connection with, this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Lender’s legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses, and the reasonable charges of the Lender’s internal legal counsel.

COMPLETION GUARANTEE

TO: COMERICA BANK

     THIS COMPLETION GUARANTEE (“Guarantee”), dated February 1, 2005 is made by Calprop Corporation, a California corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of COMERICA BANK (the “Bank”), and is executed pursuant to the Building Loan Agreement dated as of the date of this Guarantee between the Bank and Drake Development, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Borrower”) (such Building Loan Agreement, as it may from time to time be supplemented, modified and amended, being referred to in this Guarantee as the “Agreement”), the provisions of which are incorporated in this Guarantee by reference. The Agreement provides, among other things, for rules of construction which apply to this Guarantee. Capitalized terms used in this Guarantee and not otherwise defined are used with the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Bank has agreed to make a loan to the Borrower in the amount of Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand And No/100 Dollars ($12,500,000.00) (the “Loan”) to finance the real estate project of the Borrower known as Moreno Valley Ranchos (the “Project”). The Loan will be secured by a Trust Deed executed by the Borrower with respect to the Project. As a condition of the obligation of the Bank to make the Loan, the Guarantor is required to execute and deliver to the Bank this Guarantee.

     To induce the Bank to make the Loan and for other valuable considerations, the Guarantor agrees as follows:

     1. Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the punctual and complete performance when due of all present and future obligations of the Borrower under the Agreement to (a) construct and complete the Improvements in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement free and clear of all Lien Claims, (b) pay all costs and expenses relating to such construction, and (c) discharge all Lien Claims arising in connection with the Project or otherwise affecting any of the Collateral, in each case as such obligations may from time to time be supplemented, modified, amended, renewed and extended, whether evidenced by new or additional Documents or otherwise (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

     Without limiting any other obligation of the Guarantor or Remedy of the Bank under this Guarantee, if the Borrower defaults in the performance of any Guaranteed Obligations or any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then: (i) the Bank may, with or without notice or demand, (A) enter into such contracts and take such other action as the Bank deems appropriate to complete or partially construct all or any part of the Improvements, subject to such modifications and other changes in the Project or the plan of development as the Bank may deem appropriate, (B) pay any costs and expenses deemed necessary or desirable by the Bank in connection with any such action and any unpaid costs or expenses incurred by the Borrower relating to construction of the Improvements (in each case whether or not such costs and expenses are contemplated by, or in excess of amounts set forth in, the Project Budget or any applicable Line Item Budget delivered to the Bank), and (C) pay such other amounts and take such other action as the Bank may deem appropriate to discharge any Lien Claims arising in connection with the Project or otherwise affecting any of the Collateral (the Bank reserving the right to suspend or terminate any such action at any time), and the Guarantor shall pay to the Bank, on demand, all costs and expenses of the Bank in taking any such action (whether or

 


 

not the Bank has suspended or terminated such action), together with interest at the Alternate Rate from the date of expenditure until the date of repayment to the Bank; and (ii) whether or not the Bank has previously taken any such action or has suspended or terminated such action, the Guarantor shall, upon demand by the Bank, cause all Guaranteed Obligations to be promptly performed at the sole cost and expense of the Guarantor, the Bank reserving the right to proceed under clause (i) above if the Guarantor shall at any time after any such demand default in such obligations. Subject to compliance by the Guarantor with all of its obligations under this Guarantee and the payment of all costs and expenses of construction not otherwise provided for below, and further subject to satisfaction of all terms and conditions to Disbursements set forth in the Agreement and other Loan Documents and such additional terms, conditions and procedures as the Bank may reasonably require, the Bank shall make available for payment of costs and expenses of construction set forth in the Project Budget or any applicable Line Item Budget delivered to the Bank an amount equal to any additional funds that the Bank may otherwise have been required to disburse for such costs and expenses under the terms of the Agreement as determined by the Bank in its sole discretion (but in no event to exceed an amount equal to the undisbursed proceeds of the Loan and any Borrower’s Funds held by the Bank to the extent that the same would otherwise have been available for disbursement for such purposes), provided that the Lien of the Trust Deed (if not previously foreclosed) is a first priority Lien with respect to such amounts, subject only to Permitted Prior Exceptions.

     2. Nature of Guarantee. This Guarantee is a Guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection, is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future, including Guaranteed Obligations arising or accruing after bankruptcy of any Loan Party or any sale or other disposition of ally security for this Guarantee or for the obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party (any such security being referred to in this Guarantee as the “Security,” and each of the Borrower and any other Loan Party other than the Guarantor being referred to in this Guarantee as an “other Loan Party”). This Guarantee and any Security for this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Bank or any other Person upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not occurred, and the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall survive any repayment of the Loan which occurs or is deemed to have occurred as a result of foreclosure of the Trust Deed or any other Security or acceptance by the Bank of a deed or other conveyance in lieu of any such foreclosure. The Guarantor shall have no authority to revoke this Guarantee, but if any such revocation shall be deemed to have occurred by operation of law or otherwise, the provisions of this Guarantee shall continue to apply notwithstanding such revocation.

     3. Obligations Independent. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee are independent of the obligations of any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents (such obligations of any other Loan Party, including the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, being referred to in this Guarantee as the “Other Obligations”) and any Security, and the enforceability of any Security for this Guarantee is likewise independent of any such Other Obligations and any other Security. The Bank may bring action against the Guarantor and otherwise enforce this Guarantee or any Security for this Guarantee without bringing action against any other Loan Party or joining any other Loan Party in any action against the Guarantor, and otherwise independently of any other Remedy that may be available to the Bank at any time with respect to any Other Obligations or Security. The Guarantor waives any right to require the Bank at any time to proceed against any other

 


 

Loan Party, apply any Security or otherwise enforce, proceed against or exhaust any Other Obligations or Security or pursue any other Remedy in the Bank’s power.

     4. Action with Respect to Other Obligations or Security. The Guarantor authorizes the Bank, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability under or the enforceability of this Guarantee or any Security for this Guarantee, from time to time to: (a) supplement, modify, amend, renew, extend, accept partial payments or performance on or otherwise change the time, manner or place of payment or performance or the interest rate or other terms or the amount of, or release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer or consent to the transfer of or enter into or give any other agreement, approval, waiver or consent with respect to or in exchange for any Other Obligations or Security or any of the Loan Documents; (b) receive and hold additional Security or guaranties; (c) release any other Loan Party from any personal liability with respect to any Other Obligations and participate in any bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Loan Party in such manner as the Bank may determined; and (d) accelerate, settle, compromise, compound, sue for, collect or otherwise liquidate, enforce or deal with any Other Obligations or Security (including judicial or nonjudicial sale or other disposition of any Security), bid and purchase at any sale or other disposition of any Security and apply any Security and any proceeds or other payments received by the Bank, in each case in such order and manner as the Bank may determine.

     5. Waiver of Defenses. The Guarantor waives any defense to the enforcement of this Guarantee or any Security for this Guarantee arising by reason of: (a) any present or future Laws or orders affecting the terms of, or the Bank’s Remedies with respect to, any Other Obligations or Security; (b) the absence or cessation of personal liability of any other Loan Party with respect to any Other Obligations; (c) the failure of any other Person to execute this Guarantee or any other Guarantee or agreement; (d) the failure of any Loan Party to properly execute any Loan Document or otherwise comply with applicable legal formalities; (e) the unenforceability or invalidity of any Other Obligations or Security or the lack of perfection or failure of priority or any other loss or impairment of any Security; (f) any discharge or release of any other Loan Party or any Other Obligations or Security or any impairment or suspension of any Remedies of the Bank, whether resulting from any act or omission of the Bank or any other Person or by operation of law or otherwise; (g) any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Loan Party or any disability or other defense of any other Loan Party with respect to any Other Obligations or Security; (h) any failure of the Bank to disclose to the Guarantor any information relating to the financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or in the future known to the Bank (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Bank to disclose such information); (i) any failure of the Bank to monitor proper application of loan funds or compliance with the Loan Documents, or to preserve, insure or protect any Security or any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights of the Guarantor; (j) any application of proceeds or payments received by the Bank to obligations other than the Guaranteed Obligations; or (k) any other action by the Bank, whether authorized by Section 4 or otherwise, or any omission by the Bank or other failure of the Bank to pursue, or any delay in pursuing, any other Remedy in the Bank’s power.

     The Guarantor further waives: (i) any defense to the recovery by the Bank against the Guarantor of any deficiency or otherwise to the enforcement of this Guarantee or any Security for this Guarantee after a nonjudicial sale or other disposition of any Security for any Other Obligations, even though such a sale (or, in the case of any Security subject to the Uniform Commercial Code, the failure of such a sale to be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner) may prevent the Guarantor from

 


 

exercising rights of subrogation, contribution or reimbursement against any other Loan Party; (ii) any defense or benefits that may be derived from California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580d or 726, or comparable provisions of the Laws of any other jurisdiction, and all other anti-deficiency and one form of action defenses under the Laws of California and any other jurisdiction; (iii) any right to a fair value hearing under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, or any other similar Law, to determine the size of any deficiency owing (for which Guarantor would be liable hereunder) following a nonjudicial foreclosure sale; (iv) any defense or benefits that may be derived from California Civil Code Sections 2808, 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2849 or 2850 or comparable provisions of the Laws of any other jurisdiction, and all other suretyship defenses it would otherwise have under the Laws of California or any other jurisdiction; (v) all benefits of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability under or the enforcement of this Guarantee or any Other Obligations or Security; (vi) all setoffs and counterclaims; (vii) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for performance and protest; (viii) notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor; (ix) except for any notice otherwise required by applicable Laws that may not be effectively waived by the Guarantor, notice of sale or other disposition of any Security; and (x) notice of acceptance of this Guarantee and of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations, and all other notices of any kind with respect to any Other Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Bank, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a Guaranteed Obligation, has destroyed the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the Borrower by the operation of Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

     Without limiting the foregoing, or anything else contained in this Guarantee, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that the Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things:

          (1) The Bank may collect from the Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower; and

          (2) If the Bank forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Borrower: (A) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) the Bank may collect from the Guarantor even if the Bank, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right the Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower.

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

     6. Waiver of Subrogation. The Guarantor waives the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement and any other rights and defenses available to the Guarantor by reason of Section 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code including (a) any defenses the Guarantor may have to the Guarantee obligation by reason of an election of remedies by Bank and (b) any rights or defenses the Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to the Borrower with respect to the obligation so guaranteed pursuant to the antideficiency or other Laws of California limiting or discharging the Borrower’s indebtedness, including Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the

 


 

Code of Civil Procedure. The Guarantor shall not exercise, and hereby waives, any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity or reimbursement against any other Loan Party, and waives any right to enforce any Remedy which the Bank now has or may in the future have against any other Loan Party and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any Security or Other Obligations now or in the future held by the Bank. If the Guarantor nevertheless receives payment of any amount on account of any such subrogation, contribution, indemnity or reimbursement rights or otherwise in respect of any payment or performance by the Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations prior to payment and performance in full of all Other Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Bank and immediately paid to the Bank for application to the Other Obligations in such order and manner as the Bank may determine.

     7. Representations of the Guarantor. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Bank that: (a) this Guarantee is executed at the request of the Borrower; (b) the Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from any other Loan Parties on a continuing basis information pertaining to, and is now and on a continuing basis will be completely familiar with, the financial condition, operations, properties and prospects of such other Loan Parties; (c) the Guarantor has received and approved copies of all of the other Loan Documents; and (d) no oral promises, assurances, representations or warranties have been made by or on behalf of the Bank to induce the Guarantor to execute and deliver this Guarantee.

     8. Indemnification by the Guarantor. Without limitation on any other obligations of the Guarantor or Remedies of the Bank under this Guarantee, the Guarantor shall indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Bank from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses and charges (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Bank’s legal counsel and the reasonable charges of the Bank’s Internal legal counsel) suffered or incurred by the Bank as a result of (a) any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (b) any failure by the Borrower to pay and perform any Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of such Guaranteed Obligations.

     9. Rights of Setoff. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Bank is authorized at any time and from time to time to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, and without notice or demand, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Bank to or for the credit or account of the Guarantor against any and all obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee.

     10. Financial Information. Upon request by the Bank, the Guarantor shall promptly provide to the Bank copies of requested financial statements and/or tax returns of the Guarantor. All such financial statements delivered to the Bank will be complete and correct and present fairly the financial condition of the Guarantor as of the date thereof under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (or such other method of preparation approved by the Bank) and will disclose all liabilities of the Guarantor that are required by the accounting method used to be reflected or reserved against, whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent. All tax returns submitted to the Bank by the Guarantor will be true and correct to the best of the knowledge of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that each time a financial statement or tax return is submitted by him to

 


 

the Bank, the Guarantor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the bank that such financial statement or tax return complies with all of the above requirements and that since the date of such submitted financial statement there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of the Guarantor.

     11. Waivers and Amendments. No supplement to, modification or amendment of, or waiver, consent or approval under, any provision of this Guarantee shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Bank, and any waiver, consent or approval shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

     12. Remedies. Each of the Remedies provided in this Guarantee is cumulative and not exclusive of, and shall not prejudice, any other Remedy provided in this Guarantee or by applicable Laws or under any other Loan Document. Each Remedy may be exercised from time to time as often as deemed necessary by the Bank, and in such order and manner as the Bank may determine. No failure or delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any Remedy shall operate as a waiver of such Remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any Remedy preclude any other or further exercise of such Remedy or of any other Remedy. Any Guarantor that is a married person agrees that Bank may look to all of his or her separate property and community property to satisfy his or her obligations under this Guarantee.

     13. Costs and Expenses. The Guarantor shall pay to the Bank on demand all costs, expenses and charges of the Bank in connection with the enforcement of, or the exercise of any Remedy or any other action taken by the Bank under or in connection with, this Guarantee or any Guaranteed Obligations, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Bank’s legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses, and the reasonable charges of the Bank’s internal legal counsel.

     14. Notices. All notices and other communications provided under this Guarantee shall be in writing and mailed or delivered to the Guarantor at the address set forth on the signature page of this Guarantee or at any other address in the State of California as may be designated by the Guarantor in a written notice sent to the Bank in accordance with the notice provision of the Agreement. Any notice or other communication will be effective (a) if given by mail, on the earlier of receipt or the third day after deposit in the United States mails with first-class postage prepaid, or (b) if given by personal delivery, when delivered.

     15. Binding Agreement. This Guarantee shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Guarantor and the Bank and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Guarantor shall have no right to assign any interest under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Bank. The Bank may from time to time assign its interest under this Guarantee in whole or in part without notice to or the consent of the Guarantor.

     16. Multiple Guarantors. If more than one Person signs this Guarantee as Guarantor, (a) the term “Guarantor” shall mean each such Person, (b) the obligations of each Guarantor shall be joint, several and independent, and (c) this Guarantee shall be construed and enforced as though each Guarantor executed a separate Guarantee on the terms set forth in this Guarantee.

 


 

     17. Governing Law. This Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of California.

     18. Enforceability. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that: (a) the obligations undertaken by Guarantor in this Guarantee are complex in nature, and (b) numerous possible defenses to the enforceability of these obligations may presently exist and/or may arise hereafter, and (c) as part of Bank’s consideration for making the Loan, Bank has specifically bargained for the waiver and relinquishment by Guarantor of all such defenses, and (d) Guarantor has had the opportunity to seek and receive legal advice from skilled legal counsel in the area of financial transactions of the type contemplated herein. Given all of the above, Guarantor does hereby represent and confirm to Bank that Guarantor is fully informed regarding, and that Guarantor does thoroughly understand: (i) the nature of all such possible defenses, and (ii) the circumstances under which such defenses may arise, and (iii) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon Guarantor, and (iv) the legal consequences to Guarantor of waiving such defenses. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor makes this Guarantee with the intent that this Guarantee and all of the informed waivers herein shall each and all be fully enforceable by Bank, and that Bank is induced to make the Loan in material reliance upon the presumed full enforceability thereof.

     19. Jury Waiver. Guarantor and Bank acknowledge that the right to trial by jury is a constitutional one, but that it may be waived. Each party, after consulting (or having had the opportunity to consult) with counsel of their choice, knowingly and voluntarily, and for their mutual benefit waives any right to trial by jury in the event of litigation regarding the performance or enforcement of, or in any way related to, this agreement or the indebtedness.

     20. Reference Provision.

          a) The parties prefer that any dispute between the be resolved in litigation subject to a Jury Trial Waiver as set forth in the Loan Documents (defined below), but the availability of that process is in doubt because of the opinion of the California Court of Appeal in Grafton Partners LP v. Superior Court, 9 Cal.Rptr.3d 511. This Reference Provision will be applicable until the California Supreme Court completes its review of that case, and will continue to be applicable if either that court or a California Court of Appeal publishes a decision holding that a pre-dispute Jury Trial Waiver provision similar to that contained in the Loan Documents is invalid or unenforceable. Delay in requesting appointment of a referee pending review of any such decision, or participation in litigation pending review, will not be deemed a waiver of this Reference Provisions.

          b) Other than (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of security interests in real or personal property, (ii) the appointment of a receiver or (iii) the exercise of other provisional remedies (any of which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law), any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement the Bank and the undersigned (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the Superior Court or Federal District Court in the County or District where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).

 


 

          c) The referee shall be a retired Judge or Justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be hard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not grated. The referee shall be appointed to sit with all the powers provided by law. Each party shall have one peremptory challenge pursuant to CCP §170.6. Pending appointment of the referee, the Court has power to issue temporary or provisional remedies.

          d) The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested to (a) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (b) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within ninety (90) days after the date of the conference and (c) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision. Any decision rendered by the referee will be final, binding and conclusive, and judgment shall be entered pursuant to CCP § 644.

          e) The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.

          f) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

          g) The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, provide all temporary or provisional remedies, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a trial, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. The referee’s decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.

 


 

          h) If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or Justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.

          i) THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY, AND THAT THEY ARE IN EFFECT WAIVING THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN AGREEING TO THIS REFERENCE PROVISION. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

COMPLETION GUARANTY

TO: INDYMAC BANK F.S.B.

     THIS COMPLETION GUARANTY (“Guaranty”), dated February 17, 2005 is made by CALPROP CORPORATION, a California corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of INDYMAC BANK, F.S.B. (“Lender”), and is executed pursuant to the Building Loan Agreement dated as of the date of this Guaranty between the Lender and NORTHPARK 19, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Borrower”) (such Building Loan Agreement, as it may from time to time be supplemented, modified and amended, being referred to in this Guaranty as the “Agreement”), the provisions of which are incorporated in this Guaranty by reference. The Agreement provides, among other things, for rules of construction which apply to this Guaranty. Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty and not otherwise defined are used with the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Lender has agreed to make a loan to the Borrower in the amount of $6,500,000.00 (the “Loan”) to finance the real estate project of the Borrower known as Northpark (the “Project”). The Loan will be secured by a Trust Deed executed by the Borrower with respect to the Project. As a condition of the obligation of the Lender to make the Loan, the Guarantor is required to execute and deliver to the Lender this Guaranty.

     To induce the Lender to make the Loan and for other valuable consideration, the Guarantor agrees as follows:

     1. Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the punctual and complete performance when due of all present and future obligations of the Borrower under the Agreement to (a) construct and complete the Improvements in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement free and clear of all Lien Claims, (b) pay all costs and expenses relating to such construction, and (d) discharge all Lien Claims arising in connection with the Project or otherwise affecting any of the Collateral, in each case as such obligations may from time to time be supplemented, modified, amended, renewed and extended, whether evidenced by new or additional Documents or otherwise (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

     Without limiting any other obligation of the Guarantor or Remedy of the Lender under this Guaranty, if the Borrower defaults in the performance of any Guaranteed Obligations or any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then: (i) the Lender may, with or without notice or demand, (A) enter into such contracts and take such other action as the Lender deems appropriate to complete or partially construct all or any part of the Improvements, subject to such modifications and other changes in the Project or the plan of development as the Lender may deem appropriate, (B) pay any costs and expenses deemed necessary or desirable by the Lender in connection with any such action and any unpaid costs or expenses incurred by the Borrower relating to construction of the Improvements (in each case whether or not such costs and expenses are contemplated by, or in excess of amounts set forth in, the Project Budget or any applicable Line Item Budget delivered to the Lender), and (C) pay such other amounts and take such other action as the Lender may deem appropriate to discharge any Lien Claims arising in connection with the Project or otherwise affecting any of the Collateral (the Lender

1


 

reserving the right to suspend or terminate any such action at any time), and the Guarantor shall pay to the Lender, on demand, all costs and expenses of the Lender in taking any such action (whether or not the Lender has suspended or terminated such action), together with interest at the Alternate Rate from the date of expenditure until the date of repayment to the Lender; and (ii) whether or not the Lender has previously taken any such action or has suspended or terminated such action, the Guarantor shall, upon demand by the Lender, cause all Guaranteed Obligations to be promptly performed at the sole cost and expense of the Guarantor, the Lender reserving the right to proceed under clause (i) above if the Guarantor shall at any time after any such demand default in such obligations. Subject to compliance by the Guarantor with all of its obligations under this Guaranty and the payment of all costs and expenses of construction not otherwise provided for below, and further subject to such additional terms, conditions and procedures as the Lender may reasonably require, the Lender shall make available for payment of costs and expenses of construction set forth in the Project Budget or any applicable Line Item Budget delivered to the Lender an amount equal to any additional funds that the Lender may otherwise have been required to disburse for such costs and expenses under the terms of the Agreement as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion (but in no event to exceed an amount equal to the undisbursed proceeds of the Loan and any Borrower’s Funds held by the Lender to the extent that the same would otherwise have been available for disbursement for such purposes), provided that the Lien of the Trust Deed (if not previously foreclosed) is a first priority Lien with respect to such amounts, subject only to Permitted Prior Exceptions.

     2. Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future, including Guaranteed Obligations arising or accruing after bankruptcy of any Loan Party or any sale or other disposition of any security for this Guaranty or for the obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party (any such security being referred to in this Guaranty as the “Security,” and each of the Borrower and any other Loan Party other than the Guarantor being referred to in this Guaranty as an “other Loan Party”). This Guaranty and any Security for this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lender or any other Person upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not occurred, and the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall survive any repayment of the Loan which occurs or is deemed to have occurred as a result of foreclosure of the Trust Deed or any other Security or acceptance by the Lender of a deed or other conveyance in lieu of any such foreclosure. The Guarantor shall have no authority, and hereby waives any right, to revoke this Guaranty, but if any such revocation shall be deemed to have occurred by operation of law or otherwise, the provisions of this Guaranty shall continue to apply notwithstanding such revocation.

     3. Obligations Independent. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the obligations of any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents (such obligations of any other Loan Party, including the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, being referred to in this Guaranty as the “Other Obligations”) and any Security, and the enforceability of any Security for this Guaranty is likewise independent of any such Other Obligations and any other Security. The Lender may bring action against the Guarantor and otherwise enforce this Guaranty or any Security for this Guaranty without bringing action against any other Loan Party or joining any other Loan Party in any action against the Guarantor, and otherwise independently of any other Remedy that may be available to the Lender at any time with respect to any Other Obligations or Security. The Guarantor waives any right to require the Lender at any time to proceed against any other Loan Party,

2


 

apply any Security or otherwise enforce, proceed against or exhaust any Other Obligations or Security or pursue any other Remedy in the Lender’s power.

     4. Action with Respect to Other Obligations or Security. The Guarantor authorizes the Lender, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability under or the enforceability of this Guaranty or any Security for this Guaranty, from time to time to: (a) supplement, modify, amend, renew, extend, accept partial payments or performance on or otherwise change the time, manner or place of payment or performance or the interest rate or other terms or the amount of, or release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer or consent to the transfer of or enter into or give any other agreement approval, waiver or consent with respect to or in exchange for any Other Obligations or Security or any of the Loan Documents; (b) receive and hold additional Security or guaranties; (c) release any other Loan Party from any personal liability with respect to any Other Obligations and participate in any bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Loan Party in such manner as the Lender may determine; and (d) accelerate, settle, compromise, compound, sue for, collect or otherwise liquidate, enforce or deal with any Other Obligations or Security (including judicial or nonjudicial sale or other disposition of any Security), bid and purchase at any sale or other disposition of any Security and apply any Security and any proceeds or other payments received by the Lender, in each case in such order and manner as the Lender may determine.

     5. Waiver of Defenses. The Guarantor waives any defense to the enforcement of this Guaranty or any Security for this Guaranty arising by reason of: (a) any present or future Laws or orders affecting the terms of, or the Lender’s Remedies with respect to, any Other Obligations or Security; (b) the absence or cessation of personal liability or any other Loan Party with respect to any Other Obligations; (c) the failure of any other Person to execute this Guaranty or any other guaranty or agreement; (d) the failure of any Loan Party to properly execute any Loan Document or otherwise comply with applicable legal formalities; (e) the unenforceability or invalidity of any Other Obligations or Security or the lack of perfection or failure of priority or any other loss or impairment of any Security; (f) any discharge or release of any other Loan Party or any Other Obligations or Security or any impairment or suspension of any Remedies of the Lender, whether resulting from any act or omission of the Lender or any other Person or by operation of law or otherwise; (g) any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Loan Party or any disability or other defense of any other Loan Party with respect to any Other Obligations or Security; (h) any failure of the Lender to disclose to the Guarantor any information relating to the financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or in the future known to the Lender (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Lender to disclose such information); (i) any failure of the Lender to monitor proper application of loan funds or compliance with the Loan Documents, or to preserve, insure or protect any Security or any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights of the Guarantor; (j) any application of proceeds or payments received by the Lender to obligations other then the Guaranteed Obligations; (k) any other action by the Lender, whether authorized by § 4 or otherwise, or any omission by the Lender or other failure of the Lender to pursue, or any delay in pursuing, any other Remedy in the Lender’s power; or (l) any defense arising from a claim that the obligations of the Guarantor are greater than those of the Borrower or any other Loan Party. The Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of any election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

3


 

     The Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that the Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things:

  1   The Lender may collect from the Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower.
 
  2.   If the Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Borrower:

  (A)   The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price.
 
  (B)   The Lender may collect from the Guarantor even if the Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right this Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

     The Guarantor further waives: (i) any defense to the recovery by the Lender against the Guarantor of any deficiency or otherwise to the enforcement of this Guaranty or any Security for this Guaranty after a nonjudicial sale or other disposition of any Security for any Other Obligations that is determined, for any reason, to not have been conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, even though, in the case of any such Security subject to the Uniform Commercial Code, such failure may prevent the Guarantor from exercising Reimbursement Rights against any other Loan Party; (ii) any rights, defenses or benefits that are or may become available to the Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code, or comparable provisions of the Laws of any other jurisdiction and all other suretyship defenses it would otherwise have under the Laws of California or any other jurisdiction; (iii) all benefits of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability under or the enforcement of this Guaranty or any Other Obligations or Security; (iv) all setoffs and counterclaims; (v) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for performance and protest; (vi) notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor; (vii) except for any notice otherwise required by applicable Laws that may not be effectively waived by the Guarantor, notice of sale or other disposition of any Security, and (viii) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, action or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations, and all other notices of any kind with respect to any Other Obligations.

     6. Waiver of Reimbursement Rights. Until all Other Obligations have been paid and performed in full, the Guarantor shall not exercise any rights of subrogation, reimbursement contribution or indemnification or any similar rights or remedies (collectively, “Reimbursement Rights”) against any other Loan Party, and waives any right to enforce any Remedy which the Lender now has or may in the future have against any other Loan Party and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any Security or Other Obligations now or in the future held by the Lender. If the Guarantor nevertheless receives payment of any amount on account of any such Reimbursement Rights or otherwise in respect of any payment or performance by the Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations prior to payment and performance in full of all Other Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and immediately paid to the

4


 

Lender for application to the Other Obligations in such order and manner as the Lender may determine.

     7. Representations of the Guarantor. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender that: (a) this Guaranty is executed at the request of the Borrower; (b) the Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from any other Loan Parties on a continuing basis information pertaining to, and is now and on a continuing basis will be completely familiar with, the financial condition, operations, properties and prospects of such other Loan Parties; (c) the Guarantor has received and approved copies of all of the other Loan Documents; and (d) no oral promises, assurances, representations or warranties have been made by or on behalf of the Lender to induce the Guarantor to execute and deliver this Guaranty.

     8. Financial Statements and Tax Returns. The Guarantor hereby agrees to deliver to the Lender the following: (a) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Guarantor for so long as any portion of the Loan is outstanding.

     10. Rights of Setoff. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, and without notice or demand, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or account of the Guarantor against any and all obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

     11. Waivers and Amendments. No supplement to, modification or amendment of, or waiver, consent or approval under, any provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Lender, and any waiver, consent or approval shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

     12. Remedies. Each of the Remedies provided in this Guaranty is cumulative and not exclusive of, and shall not prejudice, any other Remedy provided in this Guaranty or by applicable Laws or under any other Loan Document. Each Remedy may be exercised from time to time as often as deemed necessary by the Lender, and in such order and manner as the Lender may determine. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any Remedy

5

     13. Costs and Expenses.
