In the event any of these events described in clauses (a) through (d) occur Beneficiary reserves the right to require insurance premiums deposits at any time in its absolute discretion notwithstanding the fact that the default may be cured, or that the transfer or change be approved by Beneficiary.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Trustor, Operating Lessee or Manager pay, reserve or set aside funds on a monthly basis in amounts sufficient to provide for the payment of all Impositions as and when due (which funds need not be segregated or deposited into a specific fund or account), Beneficiary agrees not to require these deposits unless and until (a) there has occurred an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, the Guaranty or the Indemnity Agreement, (b) Trustor, or a Permitted Transferee, or a Pre-Approved Transferee no longer owns the Property; or (c) except for Permitted Interest Transfers, there has been a change in the general partners, stockholders or members of Trustor or in the constituent general partners or controlling shareholders or controlling members of any of the entities comprising Trustor.

Section 11.2 REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Upon the happening of an Event of Default, the Secured Indebtedness shall, at the option of Beneficiary, become immediately due and payable, without further notice or demand, and Beneficiary may undertake any one or more of the following remedies:
(a) Foreclosure. Institute a foreclosure action in accordance with the law of the State, or take any other action as may be allowed, at law or in equity, for the enforcement of the Loan Documents and realization on the Property or any other security afforded by the Loan Documents. In the case of a judicial proceeding, Beneficiary may proceed to final judgment and execution for the amount of the Secured Indebtedness owed as of the date of the judgment, together with all costs of suit, reasonable attorneys’ fees and interest on the judgment at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of the judgment until paid. If Beneficiary is the purchaser at the foreclosure sale of the Property, the foreclosure sale price shall be applied against the total amount due Beneficiary; and/or
(b) Power of Sale. Institute a non-judicial foreclosure proceeding in compliance with applicable law in effect on the date foreclosure is commenced for the Trustee to sell the Property either as a whole or in separate parcels as Beneficiary may determine at public sale or sales to the highest bidder for cash, in order to pay the Secured Indebtedness. If the Property is sold as separate parcels, Beneficiary may direct the order in which the parcels are sold. Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser a Trustee’s deed or deeds without covenant or warranty, express or implied. Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at the time and place of sale, and from time to time may further postpone the sale by public announcement in accordance with applicable law; and/or
(c) Entry. Enter into possession of the Property, lease the Improvements, collect all Rents and Profits and, after deducting all costs of collection and administration expenses, apply the remaining Rents and Profits in such order and amounts as Beneficiary, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, may elect to the payment of Impositions, operating costs, costs of maintenance, restoration and repairs, Premiums and other charges, including, but not limited to, costs of leasing the Property and fees and costs of counsel and receivers, and in reduction of the Secured Indebtedness; and/or
(d) Receivership. Have a receiver appointed to enter into possession of the Property, lease the Property, collect the Rents and Profits and apply them as the appropriate court may direct. Beneficiary shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver without the necessity of proving either the inadequacy of the security or the insolvency of Trustor and/or Operating Lessee as applicable or any of the Liable Party. Trustor and Liable Party shall be deemed to have consented to the appointment of the receiver. The collection or receipt of any of
the Rents and Profits by Beneficiary or any receiver shall not affect or cure any Event of Default. Beneficiary’s rights hereunder include its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 564, as such Section may be amended from time to time; and/or
(e) Action for Breach of Contract. In accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736, as such Section may be amended from time to time, Beneficiary may bring an action for breach of contract against Trustor for breach of any “environmental provision” (as such term is defined in such Section) made by Trustor herein or in any other Loan Document, for the recovery of damages and/or for the enforcement of the environmental provision; and/or
(f) Waiver of Security. In accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, as such Section may be amended from time to time, Beneficiary may waive the security of this Deed of Trust as to any parcel of Real Property that is “environmentally impaired” or is an “affected parcel” (as such terms are defined in such Section), and as to any Personal Property attached to such parcel, and thereafter exercise against Trustor, to the extent permitted by such Section 726.5, the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of Beneficiary’s claim against Trustor to judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted by law. Trustor and Beneficiary acknowledge that pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, Beneficiary’s rights under this Section 11.2 are limited to instances in which Trustor or any affiliate, agent, co-tenant, partner or joint venturer of Trustor either (i) caused, contributed to, permitted or acquiesced in the release (as defined in such Section 726.5) or threatened release of Hazardous Materials, or (ii) had actual knowledge or notice of such release or threatened release prior to the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and failed to disclose such release or threatened release to Beneficiary in writing after Beneficiary’s written request for information concerning the environmental condition of the Property, unless Beneficiary otherwise obtained actual knowledge of such release or threatened release prior to the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust.
Section 11.3 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE. In the event of a sale of the Property pursuant to Section 11.2 of this Deed of Trust, to the extent permitted by law, the Beneficiary shall determine in its sole discretion the order in which the proceeds from the sale shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness, including without limitation, the expenses of the sale and of all proceedings in connection with the sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses; Impositions, Premiums, liens, and other charges and expenses; the outstanding principal balance of the Secured Indebtedness; any accrued interest; any Prepayment Fee; and any other amounts owed under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 11.4 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including laws enacted after the Execution Date, Trustor and Beneficiary HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY in any action, proceeding and/or hearing on any matter whatsoever arising out of, or in any way connected with, the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the Loan Documents, or the enforcement of any remedy under any law, statute, or regulation. Neither party will seek to consolidate any such action in which a jury has been waived, with any other action in which a jury trial cannot or has not been waived. Each party has received the advice of counsel with respect to this waiver.
Section 11.5 BENEFICIARY’S RIGHT TO PERFORM TRUSTOR’S OBLIGATIONS. Trustor agrees that, if Trustor and/or Operating Lessee as applicable fails to perform any act or to pay any money which Trustor and/or Operating Lessee as applicable is required to perform or pay under the Loan Documents, Beneficiary may make the payment or perform the act at the cost and expense of Trustor and in Trustor’s name or in its own name. Any money paid by Beneficiary under this Section 11.5 shall be reimbursed to Beneficiary in accordance with Section 11.6.
Section 11.6 BENEFICIARY REIMBURSEMENT. All payments made, or funds expended or advanced by Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document, shall (1) become a part of the Secured Indebtedness, (2) bear interest at the Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date such payments are made or funds expended or advanced, (3) become due and payable by Trustor upon demand by Beneficiary, and (4) bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date of such demand. Trustor shall reimburse Beneficiary within ten (10) days after receipt of written demand for such amounts.
Section 11.7 FEES AND EXPENSES. If Beneficiary becomes a party (by intervention or otherwise) to any action or proceeding affecting, directly or indirectly, Trustor, the Property or the title thereto or Beneficiary’s interest under this Deed of Trust, or employs an attorney to collect any of the Secured Indebtedness or to enforce performance of the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Loan Documents, Trustor shall reimburse Beneficiary in accordance with Section 11.6 for all expenses, costs, charges and legal fees incurred by Beneficiary (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of experts and consultants), whether or not suit is commenced.
Section 11.8 WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Trustor covenants and agrees that in no event shall Beneficiary be liable for consequential damages, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Trustor expressly waives all existing and future claims that it may have against Beneficiary for consequential damages.
Section 11.9 INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEE. Except for gross negligence and willful misconduct, Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission or error of judgment. Trustee may rely on any document believed by it in good faith to be genuine. All money received by Trustee shall be held in trust, but need not be segregated (except to the extent required by law), until used or applied as provided in this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall not be liable for interest on the money. Trustor shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Trustee against all liability and expenses which Trustee may incur in the performance of its duties.
Section 11.10 ACTIONS BY TRUSTEE. At any time, upon written request of Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed of Trust and the Note for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any entity or the Liable Party for payment of the Secured Indebtedness or the effect of this Deed of Trust upon the remainder of the Property, Trustee may take such actions as Beneficiary may request which are permitted by this Deed of Trust or by applicable law.
Section 11.11 SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEE. Beneficiary has the power and shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time, to remove Trustee or any successor trustee and to
appoint another trustee in the place of Trustee or an successor trustee, by an instrument recorded in the Official Records of the county or counties where the Property is located. The recorded instrument shall be conclusive proof of the proper substitution and appointment of the successor Trustee without the necessity of any conveyance from the predecessor Trustee.
ARTICLE XII
TRUSTOR AGREEMENTS AND FURTHER ASSURANCES
Section 12.1 PARTICIPATION AND SALE OF LOAN.
(a) Beneficiary may, sell, transfer or assign all or any portion of its interest or one or more participation interests in the Loan and the Loan Documents at any time and from time to time, provided, however, Beneficiary remains the master servicer of the Loan. Beneficiary may issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement, including depositing the Loan Documents with a trust that may issue securities (the “Securities”); provided, however Beneficiary shall retain its servicing rights in the event of an issuance of Securities (such issuance of Securities is referred to as a “Securitization”). Beneficiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Trustor thirty (30) days advance notice of any securitization. Beneficiary may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Securities (collectively, the “Investor”) or any Rating Agency rating such Securities and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Beneficiary now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Secured Indebtedness and to Trustor or any Liable Party and the Property, whether furnished by Trustor, any Liable Party or otherwise, as Beneficiary determines necessary or desirable. Beneficiary agrees to use commercially reasonable to maintain the confidentiality of any financial information with respect to Trustor and/or Liable Party which Trustor advises Beneficiary is confidential and not publicly available at the time it is provided to Beneficiary; provided however such obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such financial information with respect to Trustor, and/or Liable Party shall terminate if and when, through no fault of Beneficiary, the information ceases to be confidential.
(b) Trustor and Liable Party will cooperate with Beneficiary and the Rating Agencies in furnishing such information and providing such other assistance, reports and legal opinions as Beneficiary may reasonably request in connection with any such transaction. In addition, Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary may release or disclose to potential purchasers or transferees of the Loan, or potential participants in the Loan, originals or copies of the Loan Documents, title information, engineering reports, financial statements, operating statements, appraisals, Leases, rent rolls, and all other materials, documents and information in Beneficiary’s possession or which Beneficiary is entitled to receive under the Loan Documents, with respect to the Loan, Trustor, Liable Party or the Property. Trustor shall also furnish to such Investors or such prospective Investors or such Rating Agency any and all information concerning the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of Trustor or any Liable Party as may be requested by Beneficiary, any Investor or any prospective Investor or any Rating Agency in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustor and Operating Lessee will not in any event be required to incur, suffer or accept (except to a de minimis extent) (i) any lesser rights or greater obligations than as currently set forth in the Loan
Documents and (ii) any expense or any liability in connection with such transfers described in this Section 12.1.
(c) Beneficiary, without in any way limiting Beneficiary’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to bifurcate the Loan into two or more component notes, which notes may be pari passu or senior/subordinate, provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the notes immediately following such bifurcation shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Loan immediately following such reallocation shall equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to such bifurcation. Trustor shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Beneficiary in order to bifurcate the amount of the Loan and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Beneficiary in connection therewith, including, without limitation, one or more new component notes to replace the original Note, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, provided that such documents shall contain terms, provisions and clauses (x) no less favorable to Trustor than those contained herein and in the Note, and (y) which do not increase Trustor’s obligations hereunder or decrease Trustor’s rights under the Loan Documents. If Beneficiary redefines the interest rate, the amount of interest payable under the modified notes, in the aggregate, shall at all times equal the amount of interest which would have been payable under the Note at the Interest Rate. In the event Trustor fails to execute and deliver such documents to Beneficiary within fifteen (15) days following such request by Beneficiary, Trustor hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Trustor ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
Section 12.2 REPLACEMENT OF NOTE. Upon notice to Trustor of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note, Trustor will execute and deliver, in lieu of the original Note, a replacement note, identical in form and substance to the Note and dated as of the Execution Date. Upon the execution and delivery of the replacement note, all references in any of the Loan Documents to the Note shall refer to the replacement note.
Section 12.3 TRUSTOR’S ESTOPPEL. Within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request by Beneficiary, Trustor shall furnish an acknowledged written statement in form satisfactory to Beneficiary (i) setting forth the amount of the Secured Indebtedness, (ii) stating either that no offsets or defenses exist against the Secured Indebtedness, or if any offsets or defenses are alleged to exist, their nature and extent, (iii) whether any default then exists under the Loan Documents, the Management Agreement or the Operating Lease or any event has occurred and is continuing, which, with the lapse of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a default, and (iv) any other matters as Beneficiary may reasonably request. If Trustor does not furnish an estoppel certificate within the 10-day period, Trustor appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver the certificate on its behalf, which power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
Section 12.4 URTHER ASSURANCES. Trustor shall, without expense to Beneficiary and/or Trustee, execute, acknowledge and deliver all further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, deeds of trust, assignments, security agreements, and financing statements as Beneficiary and/or Trustee shall from time to time reasonably require, to assure,
convey, assign, transfer and confirm unto Beneficiary and/or Trustee the Property and rights conveyed or assigned by this Deed of Trust or which Trustor may become bound to convey or assign to Beneficiary and/or Trustee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, or for filing, refiling, registering, reregistering, recording or rerecording this Deed of Trust. If Trustor fails to comply with the terms of this Section, Beneficiary may, at Trustor’s expense, perform Trustor’s obligations for and in the name of Trustor, and Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact to do so. The appointment of Beneficiary as attorney-in-fact is coupled with an interest.
Section 12.5 CO-LENDING. MetLife is acting for itself and for MetLife Bank as the holders of the MetLife Note and the MetLife Bank Note, as servicer (in such capacity, MetLife and any subsequent servicer of the Loan as evidenced by written notice signed by the holders of the MetLife Note and the MetLife Bank Note and all persons with interests therein, is referred to as the “Servicer”) of the Loan. The Servicer shall act for Beneficiary for all matters in connection with the Loan, and shall be authorized to act on behalf of Beneficiary. Trustor shall be entitled to rely on any actions taken by the Servicer with respect to the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, the Indemnity Agreement and the Property. All submissions, approvals and consents made or obtained from or given by Trustor, or given by Beneficiary, shall be made or obtained from, or given by, the Servicer, but a copy of all submissions and requests for approvals and consents (together with supporting materials) shall be delivered to the holders of each of the MetLife Note and the MetLife Bank Note.
Section 12.6 SUBROGATION. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the lien of any and all encumbrances against the Property paid out of the proceeds of the Loan and to all of the rights of the recipient of such payment.
