(viii)     If Lessor or Collateral Agent is the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, at any sale thereof or upon any other foreclosure (conducted in accordance with the terms of applicable California law) or enforcement of the assignments, liens, and security interests hereof, or otherwise, Lessor or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the Mortgaged Property so purchased, free of the assignments, liens, and security interests of these presents.

(ix)       Lessee covenants to promptly reimburse and pay to Lessor until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid and performed in full, the amount of all reasonable expenses (including the cost of any insurance, taxes, or other charges) incurred by Lessor and Collateral Agent in connection with its custody, preservation, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, together with interest thereon from the date incurred by such party at the Overdue Rate (so long as such

interest is not deemed a penalty under applicable California law) and all such expenses, cost, taxes, interest, and other charges shall be a part of the Obligations.

(xi)       Deed of Trust Trustee, Lessor, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent may exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein, in any of the Operative Documents or other document or agreement now or hereafter securing all or any portion of the Obligations secured hereby, by law or equity or by virtue of any of the Operative Documents, or under the UCC or otherwise.

(ii)        Upon receipt of such notice from Lessor, Deed of Trust Trustee shall cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Lessee such notice of default and election to sell as is then required by law and by this Memorandum of Lease.  Deed of Trust Trustee shall, without demand on Lessee, after lapse of such time as may then be required by law and after recordation of such notice of default and after notice of sale having been given as required by law, sell the Mortgaged Property at the time and place of sale fixed by Deed of Trust Trustee in said notice of sale, either as a whole, or in separate lots or parcels or items, and in such order as Lessor may direct Deed of Trust Trustee so to do, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale.  Deed of Trust Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied.  The recitals in such deed of any matter or fact shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.  Any person including, without limitation, Lessee, Deed of Trust Trustee or Lessor may purchase at such sale, and Lessee hereby covenants to warrant and defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers.

(iii)       Upon non-judicial foreclosure of this Memorandum of Lease, Lessor shall be entitled to credit bid up to and including the entire amount of the obligations and indebtedness secured hereby.  If Lessor makes a combined credit and cash bid and is the successful bidder, Deed of Trust Trustee shall apply the cash bid first to pay the holders of liens subordinate hereto and encumbering the Mortgaged Property, in their respective order of priority; then to pay delinquent taxes, if any; and shall pay any remaining balance to Lessee; or, if such order of payment shall be prohibited by law, then in such other order or priority as is required by law.  If a third party is the successful bidder at such public auction, upon receipt of cash from such bidder:  Deed of Trust Trustee shall apply the cash bid received from the third party, after deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Lessor and of the Deed of Trust Trustee, including costs of evidence of title in connection with the sale, (i) first to pay all sums due and owing by Lessee, with accrued interest at the Overdue Rate, under this Memorandum of Lease and the other Operative Documents (except as to any other Operative Document) and to the satisfaction of all of Lessee’s other obligations under this Memorandum of Lease and such other Operative Documents, and (ii) the remainder, if any, to the Lessee or any other person or persons legally entitled thereto.

(iv)       Subject to California Civil Code Section 2924g, Deed of Trust Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement or subsequently noticed sale, and without further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale.

(v)        A sale of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property or any defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of sale provided for herein; and subsequent sales may be made hereunder until all

-11-


 

 

obligations secured hereby have been satisfied, or the entire Mortgaged Property sold, without defect or irregularity.

(c)        If an Event of Default or a Construction Event of Default, as applicable, exists and the Obligations have been accelerated, subject to the then existing rights, if any, of Lessee under the Lease (including Lessee’s right to purchase the Leased Property under Section 20.1 of the Lease) and of Construction Agent under the Construction and Development Agreement, and the other Operative Documents to which it is a party, Lessor or Collateral Agent as its assignee may, subject to Applicable Laws and Regulations, proceed by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, to protect and enforce its rights, including for the foreclosure of the lien of this Memorandum of Lease.  Lessee acknowledges and agrees that any defense or contest by Lessee of Lessor’s exercise of its rights hereunder or under the Lease during the continuance of an Event of Default is within the control of Lessee.

Section 8.        Remedies Not Exclusive.

Subject to, and in accordance with Applicable Laws and Regulations, each of Lessor and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to enforce payment of the indebtedness and performance of the Obligations and to exercise or cause Deed of Trust Trustee to exercise all rights and powers under this Memorandum of Lease or under any of the other Operative Documents or other agreement or any Applicable Laws and Regulations now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding that some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise.  Neither the acceptance of this Memorandum of Lease nor its enforcement shall prejudice or in any manner affect Lessor’s, Collateral Agent’s or Deed of Trust Trustee’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Lessor, Collateral Agent or Deed of Trust Trustee, it being agreed that such parties shall be entitled to enforce or cause Deed of Trust Trustee to enforce this Memorandum of Lease and any other security now or hereafter held by Lessor, Collateral Agent or Deed of Trust Trustee in such order and manner as such party may determine in its absolute discretion, subject to, and in accordance with, Applicable Laws and Regulations.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, no remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor or Collateral Agent as its assignee or Deed of Trust Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, every power or remedy given by any of the Operative Documents to Lessor, Collateral Agent or Deed of Trust Trustee or to which they may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by such party.  In no event shall any such party, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Memorandum of Lease (including in connection with the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or the Leased Property), be deemed a “mortgagee in possession” unless and until such party takes possession of the Mortgaged Property or the Leased Property and no such party shall in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.

(a)        At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lessor or Collateral Agent, and at the sole expense of Lessee, Lessee will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as such party reasonably may request for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Memorandum of Lease and of the rights and powers granted by this Memorandum of Lease.  Lessee hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each of Lessor and Collateral Agent as Lessee’s true and lawful attorney-in fact (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver such further instruments, and take such further actions for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Memorandum of Lease and of the rights and powers granted by this Memorandum of Lease.

(b)        Provided no Event of Default exists, Lessee shall be suffered and permitted to remain in full possession, enjoyment and control of Lessee’s interest in the Mortgaged Property subject always to the observance and performance by Lessee of the terms of this Memorandum of Lease and of the Participation Agreement and the other Operative Documents.

(c)        All monies constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property shall be paid and distributed in accordance with the terms and provisions of Article III of the Rent Assignment Agreement.

Section 10.      Duty of Lessor.

Lessor’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of any Mortgaged Property in its possession, under the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Lessor deals with similar property for its own account.  None of Lessor, Collateral Agent, Deed of Trust Trustee, the Rent Assignees and their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Mortgaged Property, or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property, upon the request of Lessee or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof.

Lessee authorizes the financing statements to be filed with respect to the Mortgaged Property without the signature of such party in such form and in such filing offices as Lessor or Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of Lessor and Collateral Agent under this Memorandum of Lease.  A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Memorandum of Lease shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction.

Section 13.      Security Agreement under UCC.

(a)        It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Memorandum of Lease shall constitute with respect to the Personal Property a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC.  If an Event of Default shall be continuing, and subject to Lessee’s rights under the Lease (including Lessee’s right to purchase the Leased Property under Section 20.1 of the Lease), then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law or in equity, Collateral Agent as assignee of Lessor’s interests thereunder shall have the option (subject to and in accordance with applicable law) of either (i) proceeding under the UCC and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the UCC with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or Lessee’s Collateral which is personal property (including taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property or Lessee’s Collateral in accordance with Deed of Trust Trustee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the UCC shall not apply).  If Collateral Agent shall elect to proceed under the UCC, then ten (10) days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by Collateral Agent shall include, but not be limited to, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses (including allocated costs of internal counsel) of Collateral Agent.  At Collateral Agent’s request, Lessee shall assemble its Personal Property subject to the lien hereof and make it available to Collateral Agent at a place designated by Collateral Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

(b)        Lessee and Lessor agree, to the extent permitted by law, that this Memorandum of Lease, upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office, shall constitute a financing statement filed as a “fixture filing” within the meaning of the UCC, with Lessee as debtor and Lessor as secured party.  The Lessee’s organization number in the State of Delaware is 2050509.

(d)        With respect to “fixtures” within the meaning of the California Uniform Commercial Code (the “California UCC”), to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessor or Deed of Trust Trustee may elect to treat same as either real property or personal

-14-


 

 

property and proceed to exercise such rights and remedies applicable to the categorization so chosen.  Lessor may proceed against the items of real property and any items of Mortgaged Property separately or together in any order whatsoever, without in any way affecting or waiving Lessor’s rights and remedies under the California UCC, this Memorandum of Lease or the other Operative Documents.  Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Memorandum of Lease and the other Operative Documents shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right and remedy now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or by agreement of parties.

Section 14.      Lessor’s Mortgage in favor of Lessee’s Deed of Trust Trustee.

(a)        In the event a Purchase Option is validly exercised and Lessee has fully performed its obligations under the Lease with respect to the conveyance of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Leased Property to Lessee or its designee including, without limitation, the payment to Lessor (or deposit into mutually agreeable escrow of such payment) of the Purchase Amount and all other amounts due and payable under the Lease, Lessor is obligated to convey such right, title and interest to Lessee in accordance with  the Lease (the “Lessor’s Secured Obligation”).  In order to secure the full and timely performance and discharge of Lessor’s Secured Obligation, Lessor has GRANTED, BARGAINED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, CONVEYED, MORTGAGED and WARRANTED, and does hereby GRANT, BARGAIN, SELL, ASSIGN, CONVEY, MORTGAGE and WARRANT unto the Deed of Trust Trustee for the benefit of Lessee solely with regard to the Lessor’s Secured Obligations, all of Lessor’s present and future right, title and interest in and to the Leased Property, subject to the Permitted Liens, TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Leased Property unto Lessee, its successors and assigns, until (i) all Lessor’s Secured Obligations are performed and satisfied in full, (ii) an Event of Default shall be continuing and either a foreclosure of the liens created pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall have been consummated which results in a transfer of title to any Mortgaged Property or Lessee shall have delivered an assignment of lease in lieu of foreclosure, or (iii) Lessee shall have elected and consummated the Return Option.  Lessee may enforce such mortgage after any breach by Lessor of Lessor’s Secured Obligation, but not otherwise.  Upon the occurrence of any circumstance described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, such mortgage shall be discharged, released and of no further force and effect without any further act or deed by Lessor or Lessee provided, however, if requested by Lessor, Lessee shall execute written releases of such mortgage in recordable form reasonably acceptable to Lessor.  Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein or in any other Operative Document, the grant of the Lien by Lessor in this Section 14(a) shall be second and subject and subordinate to the grant of the Lien by Lessee set forth in Sections 6 and 13 above.

(b)        To secure the full and timely payment of, and the complete and timely performance and discharge of, Lessor’s Secured Obligations, Lessor further grants to Lessee, pursuant to the UCC, a security interest in all of Lessor’s present and future right, title, and interest in and to the Personal Property.  Lessee may enforce such security interest after any breach by Lessor of Lessor’s Secured Obligations, but not otherwise.  Upon the occurrence of any circumstance described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) in clause (a) above, such security interest shall be discharged, released and of no further force and effect without any further act or deed by Lessor or Lessee; provided, however, if requested by

-15-


 

 

Lessor, Lessee shall execute written releases of, or provide applicable termination statements with respect to, such security interest, in each case in form reasonably acceptable to Lessor.  Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein or in any other Operative Document, the grant of the Lien by Lessor in this Section 14(b) shall be second and subject and subordinate to the grant of the Lien by Lessee.

(c)        Lessee and Lessor agree, to the extent permitted by law, that this Memorandum of Lease, upon recording or registration in the local real estate records, shall constitute a financing statement filed as a “fixture filing” within the meaning of the UCC, with Lessor as debtor and Lessee as secured party.  Lessor’s organization number in the State of California is C0577846 7.  Lessee is the record title holder of the Site and Lessor is the record title holder of the leasehold interest in the Site.

Section 18.      Assignment of Memorandum of Lease.

Notwithstanding the intention of the parties, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the transactions contemplated by the Rent Assignment Agreement are found to be a financing and not a true sale, Lessor hereby assigns the mortgage granted by Lessee to Lessor in Section 6(a) hereof to Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lessor and the Rent Assignees as security for the payment and performance obligations of Lessor under the Rent Assignment Agreement.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the Construction and Development Agreement, so long as no Construction Event of Default shall be continuing, the Lessee may exercise all rights under or with respect to the Construction Documents.

Subject to Section 9.5 of the Participation Agreement and Article VII of the Lease, at any time, or from time to time without liability therefor and without notice, upon written request of Administrative Agent and presentation of this Memorandum of Lease and the Operative Documents for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any Person for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby or the effect of this Memorandum of Lease upon the remainder of the Mortgaged Property, Lessor may (a) release any part of said Mortgaged Property, (b) consent in writing to the making of any map or plat thereof, (c) join in granting any easement thereon, or (d) join in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.

Section 28.      Certain Acknowledgments and Agreements of Lessee.

Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)        The Rent Assignment Advances and the Lessor Investment are being made for Lessee’s direct benefit and will be used to ground lease the Mortgaged Property and fund the demolition of Building 1 and the construction of the Facility on the Site, and it is the intention of the parties hereto that Lessee be the beneficial owner of the Mortgaged Property for tax and bankruptcy law purposes, but that Lessor be the owner for Lessee’s financial reporting purposes.

(b)        Lessee, on behalf of itself and all persons now or hereafter interested in the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, hereby waives all rights under all appraisement, homestead, moratorium, valuation, exemption, stay, extension, and redemption statutes, laws or equities now or hereafter existing, and hereby further waives the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any and all indebtedness and payments thereon secured by this Memorandum of Lease, and Lessee agrees that no defense, claim or right based on any thereof will be asserted, or may be enforced, in any action enforcing or relating to this Memorandum of Lease or any of this Mortgaged Property.  Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Lessee, on its own behalf and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, subsequent to the date of this Memorandum of Lease, hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Memorandum of Lease or under any power contained herein or under any sale pursuant to any statute, order, decree or judgment of any court.  Lessee, for itself and for all persons hereafter claiming through or under it, hereby expressly waives and releases all rights to direct the order in which any of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant hereto and to have any of the Mortgaged Property and/or any other property now or hereafter constituting security for any of the indebtedness secured hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of this Memorandum of Lease.  Collateral Agent shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein.  Collateral Agent shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the Obligations are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon

(c)        Lessee further waives: (i) diligence and demand of payment except as otherwise required hereunder, the Lease and the Participation Agreement or any other Operative Document; (ii) the right to receive any notices sent to the other or to any other person, including notices of the creation, renewal, extension, modification, or accrual, of any obligations contained in the Operative Documents or notice of any other matters relating thereto not expressly required under the other Operative Documents; (iii) all demands whatsoever not otherwise required to be delivered under the Operative Documents; (iv) any duty on the part of Collateral Agent or Deed of Trust Trustee to disclose to Lessee any facts that either may now or hereafter know about the other, regardless of whether Collateral Agent or Deed of Trust Trustee has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Lessee intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Lessee, it being understood and agreed that Lessee is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the other and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonpayment of any amount hereby secured; (v) any circumstances which would constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Lessee hereunder; (vi) any right Lessee may have to require Collateral Agent or Deed of Trust Trustee to proceed against Lessor or against any other party to foreclose any lien on any real or personal property, to exercise any right or remedy under the Operative Documents, or to pursue any other remedy, or to enforce any other right; and (vii) any rights, legal or equitable, to require marshaling of assets or to require upon foreclosure sales in a particular order.

(e)        The rights of Lessor, Collateral Agent, Deed of Trust Trustee and Rent Assignees in relation to the Mortgaged Property or in relation to Lessee under any Operative Document shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason of the occurrence from time to time of any of the following events, even if such event takes place without notice to or the further consent of Lessee: (i) the waiver by Lessor, Rent Assignees,  Collateral Agent, Deed of Trust Trustee of the performance or observance by Lessee or any other party of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Operative Documents; (ii) the doing or the omission of any of the acts referred to in the Participation Agreement, the Rent Assignment Agreement or any other Operative Document; (iii) any failure, omission or delay on the part of Lessor, Collateral Agent, Deed of Trust Trustee or Rent Assignees to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on or available to Lessor, Collateral Agent, Deed of Trust Trustee, Rent

(l)         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by applicable law, Lessee agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lessor is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lessor shall remain in full force and effect until Lessor has exhausted all of its remedies against the
