3. Assignment of Rents and Profits.
-------------------------------
3.1 Absolute Assignment. Trustor hereby absolutely and irrevocably
-------------------
assigns to Beneficiary all of its right, title and interest in and to all rents,
issues, profits, royalties, income and other proceeds and similar benefits
derived from the Property (collectively, the "Rents"), and hereby irrevocably
appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, at Beneficiary's
option at any time, to demand, receive and enforce payment, to give receipts,
releases and satisfactions, and to sue, either in Trustor's name or in
Beneficiary's name, for all Rents.
3.2 License to Collect. Notwithstanding the foregoing assignment of
------------------
the Rents, so long as no Event of Default (as defined below) remains uncured,
Trustor shall have a license to collect all Rents (but no more than one month in
advance), and to retain and enjoy the same.
3.3 Collection and Application of Rents by Beneficiary. While any
--------------------------------------------------
Event of Default remains uncured, (a) Trustor's license to collect the Rents
shall automatically terminate, without notice, (b) Beneficiary may at any time,
without notice, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver, and without
regard to the adequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations, enter upon
any portion of the Property and/or, with or without taking possession thereof,
in its own name sue for or otherwise collect the Rents (including past due
amounts), and (c) promptly following demand by Beneficiary therefor, Trustor
shall deliver to Beneficiary all prepaid Rents, deposits relating to Rents, and
all other Rents then held by or thereafter collected by Trustor. All Rents
collected by or delivered to Beneficiary may only be (i) held by Beneficiary as
collateral for the Secured Obligations and/or (ii) applied by Beneficiary
against the Secured Obligations, in such order as Beneficiary shall determine in
its absolute discretion. No application of Rents against any Secured Obligation
or other action taken by Beneficiary under this Article 3 shall be deemed to
cure or waive any Event of Default, or to invalidate any other action taken in
response to such default, or to make Beneficiary a mortgagee-in-possession of
the Property.
3.4 Further Assignments. Upon demand by Beneficiary from time to
-------------------
time, Trustor shall promptly execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, recordable assignments of
Trustor's interest in any leases, subleases, contracts, licenses, permits and
other documents and agreements to which Rents relate; provided, however, that no
such assignment shall be construed to impose upon Beneficiary any obligation
with respect thereto.
3.5 Termination. The assignment of the Rents to Beneficiary
-----------
hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force and effect following the
satisfaction in full of all Secured Obligations.
-4-
3.6 Assigned Leases. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by
---------------
Beneficiary from time to time, the following shall apply to each lease and
sublease (collectively, the "Assigned Leases") with respect to which any portion
of the landlord's interest is assigned to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust:
3.6.1 Trustor shall promptly perform all of its obligations as
landlord under each Assigned Lease, and shall immediately notify Beneficiary in
writing of any notice of default received by Trustor from the tenant thereunder.
3.6.2 Trustor shall diligently enforce the performance of all
of the obligations of the tenant under each Assigned Lease; shall not waive any
default or waive, release or discharge any such tenant of or from any such
obligation; and shall not modify or terminate any Assigned Lease without
Beneficiary's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
3.6.3 Trustor shall not collect the rents (or any other
amounts) due under any Assigned Lease more than one month in advance of the date
due.
3.6.4 Trustor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the
tenants under all Assigned Leases to pay all amounts owing to Trustor thereunder
to Beneficiary following receipt of any written notice from Beneficiary which
states that an Event of Default remains uncured and that all such amounts are to
be paid to Beneficiary. Trustor further authorizes and directs all such tenants
to pay all such amounts to Beneficiary without any right or obligation to
inquire as to the validity of Beneficiary's notice and regardless of the fact
that Trustor has notified any such tenant(s) that Beneficiary's notice is
invalid or has then directed any such tenant(s) not to pay such amounts to
Beneficiary.
3.6.5 Upon the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, no Assigned
Lease shall be destroyed or terminated by application of the doctrine of merger
or as a matter of law unless Beneficiary or any purchaser at such foreclosure
sale so elects. No act by or on behalf of Beneficiary or any such purchaser
shall constitute a termination of any Assigned Lease unless Beneficiary or such
purchaser gives written notice thereof to the applicable tenant or subtenant.
3.6.6 Trustor hereby represents and warrants to Beneficiary,
with respect to each Assigned Lease that is presently in effect (collectively,
the "Current Assigned Leases"), (a) that Trustor has delivered to Beneficiary a
true and complete copy of each Current Assigned Lease, together with all
modifications; (b) that Trustor has not accepted any payment of rent (or other
charge) under any Current Assigned Lease that is not due until on or after the
30th day following the execution hereof; and (c) that, to the best of Trustor's
knowledge, no material default by Trustor or any other person under any Current
Assigned Lease remains uncured.
-5-
3.6.7 Beneficiary may elect in its absolute discretion, at any
time and from time to time, by written notice to Trustor, to unilaterally
subordinate the lien of this Deed of Trust to any Assigned Lease which is then
junior in priority to the lien hereof. Trustor shall provide written notice of
any such subordination to the applicable tenant within five (5) business days
following Trustor's receipt of any such written notice from Beneficiary, but
Trustor's failure to so notify any such tenant shall not impair the
effectiveness of Beneficiary's subordination.
4. Maintenance, Operation, Preservation and Repair of Property. Trustor
-----------------------------------------------------------
shall maintain the Property (and all abutting grounds, sidewalks, roads, parking
and landscape areas) in good condition and repair, shall operate the Property in
a businesslike manner, shall prudently preserve and protect both its own and
Beneficiary's interests in connection with the Property, shall not commit or
permit any waste or deterioration of the Property, shall not abandon any portion
of the Property or leave the Property unguarded or unprotected, and shall not
otherwise act, or fail to act, in such a way as to unreasonably increase the
risk of any damage to the Property or of any other impairment of Beneficiary's
interests hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and
except as otherwise agreed by Beneficiary in writing from time to time, Trustor
shall promptly and faithfully perform and observe each of the following
provisions:

----------------------
materially alter any Improvement, except to make non-structural repairs which
preserve or increase the Property's value. Trustor shall promptly restore, in a

that is damaged or destroyed from any cause, and shall diligently complete, in a
good and workmanlike manner, any Improvement constructed by Trustor from time to
time.
4.2 Compliance with Laws. Trustor shall comply with all federal,
--------------------
state and local laws, rules, regulations, codes and administrative and judicial
decisions applicable to the Property, shall not permit any act on or with

and maintain in effect all licenses, permits, exemptions, approvals and other
authorizations required by law in connection with the ownership and operation of
the Property.

landlord or tenant.

all of the following (collectively, the "Impositions"): all general and special
real property taxes and assessments imposed on the Property; all other taxes and
assessments of every kind that are assessed upon the Property (or upon the owner
and/or operator of the Property) and that create or may create a lien upon the
Property (or upon any personal property or fixture used in connection with the
Property), including without limitation non-governmental levies and assessments
imposed in connection with covenants, conditions or restrictions; all taxes and
assessments imposed on the Property following Trustor's execution hereof in lieu
of or in addition to any of the foregoing Impositions; and all license fees,
taxes and assessments imposed on Beneficiary (other than income and franchise
taxes) and measured by or based upon (in whole or in part) the Secured
Obligations. If permitted by law, Trustor may pay any Imposition in
installments.
4.5.1 Right to Contest. Trustor shall not be required to pay any
----------------
Imposition so long as (a) its validity is being actively contested in good faith
and by appropriate proceedings and (b) Trustor has demonstrated to Beneficiary's
reasonable satisfaction that leaving such Imposition unpaid pending the outcome
of such proceedings could not result in the sale of the Property to satisfy such
Imposition or otherwise impair Beneficiary's interests hereunder; provided that,
if reasonable under the circumstances, Beneficiary may require Trustor to
furnish Beneficiary with a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to
Beneficiary in an amount not less than 150% of the applicable claim.
4.5.2 Evidence of Payment; Tax Reporting Service. Upon demand by
------------------------------------------

-----
obligations secured by any lien or encumbrance upon any portion of the Property.
4.7.1 Right to Contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustor
----------------
shall not be required to perform any such secured obligation so long as (a) its
validity
-7-
is being actively contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and (b)
Trustor has demonstrated to Beneficiary's reasonable satisfaction that leaving
such obligation unpaid or unperformed pending the outcome of such proceedings
could not result in the sale of the Property to satisfy such obligation or
otherwise impair Beneficiary's interests hereunder; provided that, if reasonable
under the circumstances, Beneficiary may require Trustor to furnish Beneficiary
with a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary in an
amount not less than 150% of the applicable claim.
4.7.2 Discharge by Beneficiary. If Trustor fails to fulfill its
------------------------
obligations under this Section with respect to any lien or encumbrance,

bond or other security therefor, without inquiring into the validity of such
lien or encumbrance and without regard for any claimed defense or offset, and
Trustor shall, within 3 business days following receipt of written demand,
reimburse Beneficiary for all costs incurred by Beneficiary in connection
therewith.
4.8 Books and Records. Trustor shall maintain complete books of

Property, any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes,
toxic substances and similar substances and materials, including all substances
and materials defined as hazardous or toxic wastes, substances or materials
under any applicable law (collectively, "Hazardous Materials"). Trustor shall
promptly take all remedial actions required by law from time to time with
respect to any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property; provided
that, in any instance where remedial action is not expressly required or the
precise nature of the required remedial action is not mandated by law, Trustor
shall not pursue any particular remedial action without Beneficiary's prior
written consent. Trustor shall not enter into any settlement agreement, consent
decree or other compromise or agreement relating to any such Hazardous Materials
without Beneficiary's prior written consent.
4.9.2 Except as previously disclosed to Beneficiary in writing
in Exhibit "B" hereto (collectively, the "Environmental Disclosure Documents"),
Trustor has no knowledge of the presence on, under or about the Property, now or
in the past,
-8-
of any Hazardous Materials, or of the transportation to or from the Property of
any Hazardous Materials, and Trustor has made no disclosures to Beneficiary with
respect to any of the foregoing, written or oral, other than those set forth in
the Environmental Disclosure Documents. Trustor acknowledges that the delivery
to Trustor by Beneficiary of Beneficiary's request for the Environmental
Disclosure Documents an execution copy of this Deed of Trust constitutes a
"written request for information" by Beneficiary pursuant to California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(2). Beneficiary and its representatives may
from time to time, at reasonable times and following reasonable notice, perform
such tests (including soil and groundwater tests) as Beneficiary reasonably
deems appropriate to protects its interests with respect to the Property.
5. Insurance.
---------
5.1 Policies Required. Trustor shall at all times maintain at
-----------------
Trustor's sole expense, with insurers reasonably approved by Beneficiary, the
following policies of insurance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Beneficiary:
(a) all insurance required by law from time to time with respect
to the ownership or operation of the Property, including without limitation
workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance;
(b) fire and hazard "all risk" insurance covering 100% of the
replacement cost of the Improvements in the event of fire, lightning,
windstorm, earthquake, vandalism, malicious mischief and all other risks
normally covered by "all risk" coverage policies in the area where the
Property is located (including loss by flood if the Property is in an area
designated as subject to the danger of flood);
(c) commercial general liability insurance in amounts reasonably
required by Beneficiary from time to time, and in no event less than
$3,000,000 combined single limit;
(d) all business interruption insurance that Beneficiary
reasonably requires (including insurance against income loss during a
period of restoration of at least two years); and
(e) all other insurance reasonably required by Beneficiary from
time to time.
All such insurance shall provide that it may not be cancelled or materially
modified without 30 days' prior written notice to Beneficiary. The policies
required under subparagraphs (b) and (d), and any other property insurance
policies maintained from time to time with respect to the Property, shall
include a "lender's loss payable
-9-
endorsement" (Form 438BFU) in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary,
assuring Beneficiary that all proceeds shall be paid to Beneficiary as
encumbrancer. Beneficiary shall be an additional named insured in the policies
required under subparagraph (c). No insurance required hereunder shall include
deductible amounts to which Beneficiary has not previously consented in writing.
Certificates of insurance for the policies required hereunder (and/or original
policies, if required by Beneficiary) shall be delivered to Beneficiary from
time to time upon demand. All policies insuring against damage to the
Improvements shall contain an agreed value clause sufficient to eliminate any
risk of co-insurance. No less than 30 days prior to the expiration of each
policy, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary evidence of renewal or replacement
of such policy reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary.
5.2 Claims. Trustor shall give Beneficiary immediate notice of any
------
casualty to any portion of the Property, whether or not covered by insurance. If
covered (and regardless of whether the applicable insurance policy was required
under the terms hereof), Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary, if Beneficiary
so elects, to make proof of loss, to appear in and prosecute any action arising
from any applicable policy and, while any Event of Default remains uncured, to
settle, adjust or compromise any claim under any such policy, and Trustor hereby
irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for all
such purposes. Trustor shall not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim
without the reasonable prior written approval of Beneficiary.
5.3 Delivery of Proceeds to Beneficiary. In the event that,
-----------------------------------
notwithstanding the "lender's loss payable endorsement" requirement set forth
above, the proceeds of any casualty insurance policy relating to the Property
are paid to Trustor, Trustor shall deliver such proceeds to Beneficiary
immediately upon receipt.
5.4 Application of Casualty Insurance Proceeds. Any proceeds
------------------------------------------
collected (the "Proceeds") under any casualty insurance policy described in this
Deed of Trust or relating to the Property shall be disbursed to Trustor as
provided below, but only upon fulfillment of each of the following conditions
(the "Restoration Conditions") within 60 days following the occurrence of the
damage for which the Proceeds are collected:
(a) Trustor shall demonstrate to Beneficiary's reasonable
satisfaction that the Proceeds (together with amounts deposited by Trustor
pursuant to subparagraph (b)) will be adequate to repair the Improvements and to
restore the fair market value of the Property, within a time period reasonably
determined by Beneficiary, to at least the value it had immediately prior to
sustaining the damage. Such demonstration shall include delivery to Beneficiary
of (i) plans and specifications reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary and (ii)
a construction contract in form and content, and with a contractor, reasonably
satisfactory to Beneficiary.
-10-
(b) To the extent that the Proceeds are insufficient to accomplish
the restoration required above, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary funds (the
"Shortfall Funds") in the amount of such shortfall, which funds shall be
assigned to Beneficiary as security for Trustor's obligations hereunder and held
and disbursed in the same manner as the Proceeds.
(c) Trustor shall execute such documents as Beneficiary requires to
evidence and secure Trustor's obligation to use all amounts disbursed for the
diligent restoration of the Property.
(d) No Event of Default shall remain uncured.
5.4.1 Any Proceeds and Shortfall Funds to be disbursed to
Trustor shall be held by Beneficiary and disbursed in accordance with customary
construction lending practices. Any amounts remaining undisbursed following
completion of such restoration shall be returned to Trustor up to the amount of
any Shortfall Funds deposited by Trustor, and any other amounts remaining shall
either be paid to Trustor or applied by Beneficiary against the Secured
Obligations, as Beneficiary elects in its absolute discretion.
5.4.2 In the event that Trustor fails to fulfill the Restoration
Conditions within 60 days following the date on which the damage occurs, the
Proceeds shall (if Beneficiary so elects in its absolute discretion) be applied
by Beneficiary against the Secured Obligations, and in such event the selection
of which Secured Obligations to apply the Proceeds against shall be made by
Beneficiary in its absolute discretion.
5.5 Restoration. Nothing in this Article 5 shall be construed to
-----------
excuse Trustor from repairing and restoring all damage to the Property in
accordance with other Loan Document provisions, regardless of whether insurance
proceeds are available or sufficient.
5.6 Assignment of Policies Upon Foreclosure. In the event of
---------------------------------------
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or other assignment of the Property in
extinguishment of any Secured Obligations, all policies of insurance required
hereunder (and all other policies encumbered by this Deed of Trust or any other
Loan Document) and any related unearned premiums shall, without further action,
be assigned to the successor-in-interest to Trustor with respect to the
Property, and Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact to execute all documents necessary to effect any such
transfer.
5.7 Waiver of Subrogation. Trustor hereby waives all right to recover
---------------------
against Beneficiary (or any officer, employee, agent or representative of
Beneficiary) for any loss incurred by Trustor from any cause insured against or
required by any
-11-
Loan Document to be insured against; provided, however, that this waiver of
subrogation shall not be effective with respect to any insurance policy if the
coverage thereunder would be materially reduced or impaired as a result. Trustor
shall use its best efforts to obtain only policies which permit the foregoing
waiver of subrogation.
6. Condemnation.
------------
6.1 Proceedings. Upon learning of the institution or threatened
-----------
institution of any proceeding for the condemnation or other taking for public or
quasi-public use of any portion of the Property, Trustor shall immediately
notify Beneficiary in writing, together with copies of all applicable documents.
Trustor shall take all action reasonably required by Beneficiary in connection
therewith to protect the interests of Trustor and/or Beneficiary, and
Beneficiary shall be entitled (without regard to the adequacy of its security)
to participate in any such proceeding and be represented therein by counsel of
its choice.
6.2 Compensation. Trustor hereby assigns to Beneficiary, as security
------------
for the Secured Obligations, all amounts payable to Trustor in connection with
any taking of any portion of the Property for public or quasi-public use, and
any proceeds of any related settlement regardless of whether eminent domain
proceedings are instituted in connection therewith (collectively,
"Compensation"). Trustor shall deliver all Compensation to Beneficiary
immediately upon receipt. In the event Beneficiary chooses, in its absolute
discretion, to waive any Event of Default resulting from any such taking, any
Compensation received by Beneficiary shall be (i) disbursed to Trustor for
repairs and reconstruction and/or (ii) paid to Trustor and/or (iii) applied by
Beneficiary against the Secured Obligations, in accordance with the rights,
procedures and other provisions set forth in this Deed of Trust for the
application of casualty insurance proceeds (including requirements with respect
to Trustor's deposit of Shortfall Funds).
7. Additional Duties and Powers.
----------------------------
7.1 Actions by Beneficiary to Protect Its Interests. If Trustor fails
-----------------------------------------------
to perform any Secured Obligation, either Beneficiary or Trustee or both may,
without releasing Trustor from such obligation, perform such obligation to the
extent reasonably necessary to protect its interests hereunder. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Beneficiary and Trustee are each hereby
specifically authorized to do any or all of the following:

active, passive or subject to any other classification or that such indemnitee
was directly or indirectly responsible under any theory for any act or omission
by Trustor or any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustor shall not
be obligated to indemnify any indemnitee with respect to the consequences of any
act of gross negligence or willful misconduct which such indemnitee is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (sustained on appeal, if any) to
have committed. Trustor's indemnity obligations
-13-
hereunder shall survive the foreclosure (or transfer by deed in lieu thereof) or
reconveyance of this Deed of Trust.
7.5 Reimbursement of Beneficiary. Trustor shall reimburse Beneficiary
----------------------------
immediately upon written demand for all costs reasonably incurred by Beneficiary
(including fees and expenses of attorneys and other consultants) in the exercise
of Beneficiary's rights hereunder and the enforcement of Trustor's obligations
hereunder, including without limitation the following:
7.5.1 Costs incurred under Section 7.1 to protect Beneficiary's
---
interests hereunder.
7.5.2 Costs incurred in connection with claims, demands, causes
of action, liabilities, losses and other costs against which Beneficiary is
indemnified hereunder.
7.5.3 All liabilities, losses and other costs incurred by
Beneficiary as a direct or indirect result of any Event of Default, including
the cost of a Trustee's Sale Guarantee, Trustee's fees and expenses, and
receiver's fees and expenses.
Trustor's reimbursement obligations under this Deed of Trust shall be Secured
Obligations, shall bear interest following written demand in accordance with the
Note, and shall survive the foreclosure (or transfer by deed in lieu thereof) or
reconveyance of this Deed of Trust.
7.6 Notice of Certain Matters. Trustor shall give notice to
-------------------------
Beneficiary, within 7 days of Trustor's learning thereof, of each of the
following:
(a) any litigation or claim affecting or relating to the
Property and involving an amount in excess of $10,000;
(b) any dispute between Trustor and any Governmental Agency
relating to the Property, the adverse determination of which might
materially affect the Property; and
(c) the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about
the Property; and enforcement, clean-up, removal or other action or
requirement of any Governmental Agency relating to any such Hazardous
Materials; and the existence of any occurrence or condition on any property
in the vicinity of the Property that could cause any portion of the
Property to be classified as "borderzone property" under the provisions of
the California Health and Safety Code or any related regulations, or that
could cause the
-14-
Property to be otherwise subject to any restrictions relating to Hazardous
Materials.
7.7 Further Assurances. Trustor shall execute and deliver to
------------------
Beneficiary all documents, and take all actions, reasonably required by
Beneficiary from time to time to confirm the rights created or now or hereafter
intended to be created hereunder, to protect and further the validity, priority
and enforceability hereof, to subject to the lien hereof any property intended
to be encumbered hereby, or otherwise to carry out the purposes hereof. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustor shall, upon request of
Beneficiary, promptly correct any defect, error or omission which may be
discovered in the contents hereof or in the execution or acknowledgment hereof.
7.8 Impounds.
--------
7.8.1 Impositions. If requested by Beneficiary, Trustor shall
-----------
deposit with Beneficiary, in monthly installments, an amount equal to
one-twelfth of the estimated aggregate annual amounts required to be paid for
real and personal property taxes payable with respect to the Property
(collectively, the "Impositions"). In such event, Trustor shall cause all bills
and other documents relating to Impositions to be sent directly to Beneficiary
and, upon receipt of the same, and provided Trustor has deposited sufficient
funds with Beneficiary, Beneficiary shall pay the amounts due out of the funds
so deposited. If at any time and for any reason the funds so deposited are or
will be insufficient to pay such amounts as may then or subsequently be due,
Beneficiary shall notify Trustor and Trustor shall immediately deposit an amount
equal to such deficiency with Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing contained herein shall cause Beneficiary to be deemed a trustee of such
funds or obligate Beneficiary to pay any amounts in excess of the deposited
funds. Beneficiary may commingle such funds with its own funds and Trustor shall
not be entitled to interest thereon.
7.8.2 Premiums. While any Event of Default remains uncured, if
--------
requested by Beneficiary, Trustor shall deposit with Beneficiary, in monthly
installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the estimated aggregate annual
premiums on all policies of insurance required by this Deed of Trust. In such
event, Trustor shall cause all bills and other documents relating to such
insurance premiums to be sent directly to Beneficiary and, upon receipt of the
same, and provided Trustor has deposited sufficient funds with Beneficiary,
Beneficiary shall pay the amounts due out of the funds so deposited. If at any
time and for any reason the funds so deposited are or will be insufficient to
pay such amounts as may then or subsequently be due, Beneficiary shall notify
Trustor and Trustor shall immediately deposit an amount equal to such deficiency
with Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall
cause Beneficiary to be deemed a trustee of such funds or
-15-
obligate Beneficiary to pay any amounts in excess of the deposited funds,
nor shall anything contained herein modify the obligation of Trustor to maintain
such insurance in force at all times. Beneficiary may commingle such funds with
its own funds and Trustor shall not be entitled to interest thereon.
8. Sale or Lease of Property. Except as otherwise permitted in this Deed
-------------------------
of Trust, Trustor shall not sell, lease or otherwise transfer any interest in
the Property without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, which consent may
be withheld in Beneficiary's absolute discretion. In connection with the
foregoing consent requirements, Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary relied
upon Trustor's particular expertise in entering into the transaction to which
this Deed of Trust relates and continues to rely on such expertise to ensure the
satisfactory operation of the Property.
8.1 Transfers. Transfers requiring Beneficiary's prior written
---------
consent shall include, without limitation, the following:
(a) involuntary transfers and transfers by operation of law;
(b) liens and assignments as security for obligations, whether
voluntary or involuntary; and
(c) if Trustor is a partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture, trust or closely-held corporation, the issuance, transfer,
disposition or encumbering (whether as the result of one transfer, or as
the aggregate result of two or more transfers) of more than 10% of any
class of outstanding capital stock of Trustor or of the beneficial interest
of such partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or trust, or
a change of any general partner, manager or joint venturer (as applicable),
whether voluntarily, involuntarily or otherwise. For purposes of this
subparagraph, "closely-held corporation" shall mean any corporation not
listed on a national or regional stock exchange.
8.2 Continuing Liability of Trustor. No sale, lease or other
-------------------------------
transfer shall relieve Trustor from primary liability for any Secured Obligation
or relieve any guarantor of any such obligation from any liability under its
guaranty, and Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary all documents reasonably
required by Beneficiary to evidence its continuing liability.
9. Other Waivers, Rights and Obligations.
-------------------------------------
9.1 Authority to Modify Obligations. Beneficiary may from time to
-------------------------------
time, without notice, and without affecting the lien of this Deed of Trust or
the liability of any other person or entity for any Secured Obligation, (a)
release any person from any Secured Obligation, (b) extend the maturity or
otherwise alter the terms of any Secured Obligation, (c) grant other
indulgences, (d) release or reconvey any portion of
-16-
the Property, (e) take or release any other security for any Secured Obligation,
and/or (f) make compositions and other arrangements with debtors relating to any
Secured Obligation.
9.2 Additional Security. No other collateral held as security for
-------------------
any Secured Obligation shall be affected by the execution of this Deed of Trust,
and all such collateral shall be cumulative. Neither the taking of additional
security nor the release or partial release of any security for any Secured
Obligation shall affect the lien hereof or the liability of any obligor,
endorser, guarantor or other surety in connection therewith. Beneficiary may, in
its absolute discretion, enforce the sale of (or otherwise realize on) any other
security for any Secured Obligation before, after, or concurrently with, any
exercise of its remedies hereunder.
9.3 Survival of Warranties. Any representations and warranties set
----------------------
forth herein or otherwise made by Trustor in connection herewith shall survive
the delivery and recording hereof and continue so long as any Secured Obligation
remains outstanding.
9.4 Other Waivers By Trustor. Trustor waives, to the extent
------------------------
permitted by law and except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, (a) the
benefit of all present and future laws providing for any appraisement before
sale of any portion of the Property, (b) whether now existing or hereafter
created, all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution,
and marshaling, in the event of any foreclosure hereunder, (c) the right to
plead or assert any statute of limitations as a defense to the enforcement of
(i) any Secured Obligation or (ii) this Deed of Trust, and (d) all rights which
Trustor may now or hereafter have by reason of laws of the State of California
pertaining to sureties.
9.5 Subrogation to Lienholder Rights. To the extent that proceeds of
--------------------------------
the Note are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or encumbrance against the
Property, Beneficiary shall be subrogated to all rights and liens held by the
owner or holder of such lien, charge or encumbrance, regardless of whether such
lien, charge or encumbrance is released.
9.6 Nonliability of Beneficiary. Except as otherwise expressly
---------------------------
provided herein, no assignment to Beneficiary hereunder of any lease, sublease
or other document shall be construed to impose any obligation or liability upon
Beneficiary in connection therewith.
9.7 Partial Invalidity of Lien. If the lien of this Deed of Trust is
--------------------------
invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Secured Obligations or any part
of the Property, the unsecured or partially secured portion of such obligations
shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining and secured or
partially secured portion of such obligations, and all payments made on the
Secured Obligations,
-17-
whether voluntary or under foreclosure or other enforcement action or procedure,
shall be first applied against that portion of such obligations which is not
secured or fully secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust.
9.8 Performance of Secured Obligations. Trustor shall pay and
----------------------------------
perform each of the Secured Obligations when due.
10. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following, whatever
-----------------
the reason therefor, shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:
10.1 Failure by Trustor to perform any of its obligations under the
Loan Agreement.
10.2 A default under any other Loan Document or other document or
agreement secured hereby, subject to any applicable cure period.
10.3 A default by Trustor in any non-monetary obligation contained
herein that remains uncured following receipt of written notice from Beneficiary
for more than 10 calendar days (or such longer period as is reasonably necessary
to diligently effect cure, if not curable within such 10-day period, but in no
event more than 60 days).
10.4 Any representation or warranty by Trustor contained herein or in
any document or agreement secured hereby proves to have been incorrect in any
material respect when made.
No non-monetary default described in Section 10.1 or 10.2 for which there is no
---- ----
cure period under the applicable document shall constitute an "Event of Default"
hereunder unless it remains uncured following receipt of written notice from
Beneficiary for more than 10 calendar days (or such longer period as is
reasonably necessary to diligently effect cure, if not curable within such
10-day period, but in no event more than 60 days).
11. Foreclosure and Other Remedies.
------------------------------
11.1 Acceleration Upon Default; Additional Remedies. Upon the
----------------------------------------------
occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary may declare all Secured
Obligations immediately due and payable and, whether or not Beneficiary
exercises such option, Beneficiary may do any or all of the following:
11.1.1 In person or by agent or court-appointed receiver, and
without regard to the adequacy of its security: enter upon and take possession
of the Property, or any part thereof, in its own name or in the name of Trustee;
take any action which it reasonably deems necessary to preserve the value,
marketability or rentability of the Property, increase the income therefrom or
protect the security
-18-
hereof; and, with or without taking possession of the Property, sue for or
otherwise collect the Rents, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the
same, less costs of operation and collection, against any Secured Obligation,
all in such order as Beneficiary determines in its absolute discretion.
11.1.2 Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a
mortgage, appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants
hereof.
11.1.3 Deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and
demand for sale, and a written notice of default and election to cause Trustor's
interest in the Property to be sold, which notice the Trustee or Beneficiary
shall cause to be duly filed for record in the Official Records of the County in
which the Property is located.
11.1.4 Exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein,
in any Loan Document, in any other document secured hereby, or in any document
that secures all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or provided by law
(including all rights under applicable law to conduct separate and/or combined
sales of real property and personal property related thereto).
11.2 Foreclosure By Power of Sale.
----------------------------
11.2.1 Should Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the
power of sale contained herein, Beneficiary shall notify Trustee and deposit
with Trustee this Deed of Trust and such evidence of expenditures made and
secured hereby as Trustee may reasonably require.
11.2.2 Upon receipt of any such notice from Beneficiary, Trustee
shall cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Trustor and all other
entitled parties such Notice of Default and Election to Sell as is then required
by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Trustor,
after lapse of such time as is then required by law after recordation of such
Notice of Default and after Notice of Sale has been given as required by law,
sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed in such Notice of Sale,
either as a whole or in separate lots, parcels or items and in such order as
Beneficiary elects, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful
money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to
such purchaser(s) good and sufficient deed(s) conveying the property so sold,
but without any warranty, express or implied. Any person, including Trustor,
Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at any such sale.
11.2.3 After deducting all fees and costs of Beneficiary and
Trustee, including costs of evidence of title in connection with any such sale,
Beneficiary shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of (i) first, all
amounts expended under the terms hereof and not then repaid, with accrued
interest;
-19-
(ii) second, all other amounts then secured hereby, in such order as Beneficiary
shall determine in its absolute discretion; and (iii) the remainder, if any, to
the person(s) legally entitled thereto.
11.2.4 To the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 thereafter may again
postpone such sale by public announcement or subsequently noticed sale.
11.2.5 A sale of less than all of the 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 Secured
Obligations have been satisfied or the entire Property has been sold without
defect or irregularity.
11.3 Appointment of Receiver. While any Event of Default remains
-----------------------
uncured, Beneficiary may, without regard to the value of the Property, apply to
any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the
Property, and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives
notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver shall have the usual
powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, and all the powers and duties
of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided herein, until the date of
confirmation of sale of the Property (unless such receivership is sooner
terminated).
11.4 Application of Funds. Except as otherwise provided herein, while
--------------------
any Event of Default remains uncured, Beneficiary may, at any time without
notice, apply any amounts received by Beneficiary from or on account of Trustor
or the Property (including amounts received as Rents, as insurance or
condemnation proceeds, and/or as impounds with respect to insurance premiums or
Impositions) against any Secured Obligation, in such order as Beneficiary
elects, regardless of whether any such obligation is yet due. The receipt, use
or application of any such amount shall not be construed to affect the maturity
of any Secured Obligation, any rights of Beneficiary or Trustee under the Loan
Documents, or any obligations of Trustor or any guarantor under the Loan
Documents; or to cure or waive any default under any Loan Document; or to
invalidate any act of Trustee or Beneficiary.
11.5 Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. Trustee and Beneficiary shall
------------------------------
each be entitled to enforce the performance of any Secured Obligation and to
exercise all rights under this Deed of Trust or any Loan Document or other
agreement or any law now or hereafter in force, regardless of whether some or
all of the Secured Obligations are otherwise secured, whether by guaranty, deed
of trust, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance or enforcement
of this Deed of Trust, whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale
or other powers contained herein, shall prejudice Trustee's or Beneficiary's
right to realize upon any other security held by Trustee or Beneficiary, it
being agreed that Trustee and Beneficiary shall each be
-20-
entitled to enforce this Deed of Trust and any such other security in such
order as they determine in their absolute discretion. Trustee's and
Beneficiary's rights and remedies hereunder and under all other Loan Documents
are cumulative and in addition to all rights and remedies provided by law or
otherwise from time to time. Every right or remedy given by any Loan Document to
Trustee or Beneficiary or to which either of them is otherwise entitled may be
exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as is
deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary, and either of them may pursue
inconsistent remedies. No waiver of any default shall be implied from any
omission by Beneficiary to take action on account of such default if such
default persists or is repeated. No waiver of any default shall affect any
default other than the default expressly waived, and any such waiver shall be
operative only for the time and to the extent stated. No waiver of any provision
of any Loan Document shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of
the same provision. Beneficiary's consent to or approval of any act by Trustor
requiring further consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render
unnecessary Beneficiary's consent to or approval of any subsequent act.
Beneficiary's acceptance of the late performance of any Secured Obligation shall
not constitute a waiver by Beneficiary of the right to require prompt
performance of all further Secured Obligations; Beneficiary's acceptance of any
performance following the filing of a notice of default hereunder shall not
constitute a waiver of Beneficiary's right to proceed with the exercise of its
remedies for any unfulfilled obligations; and Beneficiary's acceptance of any
partial performance shall not constitute a waiver of any rights relating to the
unfulfilled portion of the applicable obligation.
11.6 Request for Notice. Trustor hereby requests that a copy of any
------------------
notice of default and a copy of any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to it at
the address set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust.
12. Miscellaneous Provisions.
------------------------
12.1 Execution of Reconveyances and Other Instruments by Trustee.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Upon written request of Beneficiary from time to time and upon payment of
Trustee's fees and costs in connection therewith and, if reasonably required by
Trustee, upon presentation of this Deed of Trust for endorsement, Trustee shall,
without affecting the personal liability of any person with respect to any
Secured Obligation or the lien of this Deed of Trust upon the remainder of the
Property, (i) reconvey to "the person(s) legally entitled thereto," without
warranty, any portion of the Property then held hereunder, (ii) consent in
writing to the making of any map or plat thereof, (iii) join in granting any
easement thereon, or (iv) join in any extension agreement, agreement
subordinating the lien or charge hereof, or other agreement or document relating
hereto or to the Property.
-21-
12.2 Appointment of Successor Trustee. Trustee or any successor
--------------------------------
acting hereunder may resign and thereupon be discharged of the trusts hereunder
upon 30 days' prior written notice to Beneficiary. Regardless of whether such
resignation occurs, Beneficiary may from time to time substitute a successor or
successors to any Trustee. If permitted by law, Beneficiary may substitute such
successor or successors by recording a document executed by Beneficiary and
containing the name of the original Trustor and Beneficiary hereunder, the book
and page where this Deed of Trust is recorded (and/or instrument number, as
applicable) and the name of the new Trustee, in which event such successor
Trustee or Trustees shall, without conveyance from the predecessor Trustee,
succeed to all its estate, rights and duties hereunder.
12.3 Trust Irrevocable; Acceptance by Trustee. The trust created
----------------------------------------
hereby is irrevocable by Trustor. Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of
Trust is made a public record as provided by law.
12.4 Statements by Trustor. Trustor shall, within 10 days following
---------------------
Beneficiary's demand from time to time, deliver to Beneficiary a written
statement setting forth all outstanding amounts secured by this Deed of Trust
and stating whether any offset or defense exists against such amounts.
12.5 Beneficiary Statements. For any statement or accounting
----------------------
requested by Trustor or any other entitled person pursuant to Section 2943 or
Section 2954 of the California Civil Code or any other provision of applicable
law, or for any other document furnished to Trustor by Beneficiary, Beneficiary
may charge the maximum amount then permitted by law or, if there is no such
maximum, then in accordance with Beneficiary's reasonable and customary charges
therefor or the actual cost reasonably incurred by Beneficiary, whichever is
greater.
12.6 Notices. All notices, demands, approvals and other
-------
communications provided for herein shall be in writing and be sent or delivered
to the appropriate party at the address set forth in the first paragraph of this
Deed of Trust. Addresses for notice may be changed from time to time by written
notice to all other parties. All communications shall be effective when actually
received; provided, however, that nonreceipt of any communication as the result
of a change of address of which the sending party was not notified or as the
result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt of such
communication.
12.7 Amendments. This Deed of Trust cannot be modified except by an
----------
instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver
or other modification is sought. A copy of any such document shall be sent by
such party to all other parties.
-22-
12.8 Headings. Article and section headings are included in this Deed
--------
of Trust for convenience of reference only and shall not be used in construing
this Deed of Trust.
12.9 Severability of Provisions. Every provision of this Deed of
--------------------------
Trust is intended to be severable. In the event that any provision hereof is
declared to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining
provisions hereof.
12.10 Governing Law. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by and
-------------
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
12.11 Joint and Several Obligations. Should this Deed of Trust be
-----------------------------
signed by more than one party, all obligations contained herein shall be deemed
to be the joint and several obligations of each such party. Any married person
signing this Deed of Trust agrees that recourse may be had against community
assets and against his or her separate property for the satisfaction of all
obligations contained herein.
12.12 Interpretation. In this Deed of Trust the singular shall include
--------------
the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter and vice
versa, if the context so requires. Any reference to any Loan Document or other
document shall include such document both as originally executed and as it may
from time to time be modified. References herein to Articles, Sections and
Exhibits shall be construed as references to this Deed of Trust unless a
different document is named, and references to subparagraphs shall be construed
as references to the same Section in which the reference appears. The term
"document" is used in its broadest sense and encompasses agreements,
certificates, opinions, consents, instruments and other written material of
every kind. The terms "including" and "include" mean "including (include)
without limitation." The term "any," as a modifier to any noun, shall be
construed to mean "any and/or all" preceding the same noun in the plural. The
term "agreement" includes both written and oral agreements. The terms "modify"
and "modification," when used with reference to any document or obligation,
include amendments, supplements, renewals, extensions, waivers, terminations and
other modifications of every kind. The terms "law" and "laws," unless otherwise
modified, mean, collectively, all federal, state and local laws, rules,
regulations, codes and administrative and judicial precedents. The word "person"
includes corporations, partnerships and other forms of association. The terms
"herein," "hereunder" and other similar compounds of the word "here" refer to
this entire Deed of Trust and not to any particular provision or Section hereof.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Deed of Trust and
those of the Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreement shall prevail; provided however
that, with respect to any matter addressed in both such documents, the fact that
one document provides for greater, lesser or different rights or obligations
than the other shall not be deemed a conflict unless the applicable provisions
are inconsistent and
-23-
could not be simultaneously enforced or performed. Capitalized terms used and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for them in the
Loan Agreement.
12.13 Counterparts. This Deed of Trust may be executed in counterparts
------------
and any party may execute any counterpart, each of which shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to be one and the
same document.
12.14 Successors and Assigns. This Deed of Trust shall bind, and shall
----------------------
inure to the benefit of, Trustor, Trustee, Beneficiary and their heirs,
legatees, devisees, administrators, executors and other successors and assigns.
12.15 Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust is being recorded in the real
--------------
estate records as a fixture filing and covers goods which are, and goods which
become, fixtures on the Property.
12.16 Applicability of Certain Environmental Statutes. Trustor hereby
-----------------------------------------------
acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent that any of the statutory provisions
(the "Incorporated Provisions") described below (each of which is applicable to
the trustor under a deed of trust which secures obligations of such trustor)
would otherwise be inapplicable to this Deed of Trust as a result of the fact
that this Deed of Trust from time to time secures obligations of persons or
entities other than Trustor, each such Incorporated Provision shall be deemed
incorporated herein by this reference, and each such Incorporated Provision
shall therefore apply to Trustor and this Deed of Trust:
12.16.1 All rights of a secured lender under Section 2929.5 of
the California Civil Code and under Sections 564(c) and 564(d) of the California
Code of Civil Procedure.
12.16.2 All rights and remedies of a secured lender under
Section 726.5 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
12.16.3 All rights and remedies of a secured lender under
Section 736 of the California Code of Civil Procedure with respect to any
"environmental provisions" (as defined in that Section) made by Trustor or any
other person or entity in this Deed of Trust. Subparagraph (a) of such Section
736 provides, among other things, that an action by a secured lender for the
breach of such an "environmental provision" in accordance with such Section 736
shall not constitute an "action" for purposes of Section 726(a) of the
California Code of Civil Procedure, and shall also not constitute a money
judgment for a deficiency or a deficiency judgment within the meaning of Section
580a, 580b, 580d or 726(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure, and,
without limiting the generality of the first sentence of this paragraph, Trustor
specifically agrees that the foregoing limitations with respect to the
-24-
applicability of such Sections 726(a), 580a, 580b, 580d and 726(b) shall apply
to this Deed of Trust (pursuant to the Incorporated Provisions) in connection
with the enforcement by Beneficiary of such an "environmental provision" made by
Trustor or any other person in connection with the Secured Obligations, to the
same extent that such limitations would apply in connection with (i) the
enforcement of an "environmental provision" made by the applicable Borrower and
(i) a deed of trust executed by such Borrower rather than by Trustor.
Beneficiary acknowledges that the intent of this Section is to make any
otherwise inapplicable Incorporated Provision applicable to Trustor, but only to
the extent that the reason that such provision would otherwise be inapplicable
is solely (A) that Trustor is not the "Borrower" with respect to one or more of
the Secured Obligations, and/or (B) that the "environmental provision" being
enforced by Beneficiary in accordance with Section 736 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure, although made in connection with the Secured Obligations,
either (1) was not made by the "Borrower" with respect to one or more of the
Secured Obligations or (2) was not made by Trustor.
12.17 Lawfulness and Reasonableness. Trustor warrants that all of the
-----------------------------
waivers in this Deed of Trust are made with full knowledge of their
significance, and of the fact that events giving rise to any defense or other
benefit waived by Trustor may destroy or impair rights which Trustor would
otherwise have against Beneficiary, Borrowers and other persons, or against
collateral. Trustor agrees that all such waivers are reasonable under the
circumstances and further agrees that, if any such waiver is determined (by a
court of competent jurisdiction) to be contrary to any law or public policy,
such waiver shall be effective to the fullest extent permitted by law.
-25-
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Trustor has caused this Deed of Trust to be duly
executed as of the date first written above.
