Nevertheless, subject to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement and Section 7.1(h) of this Security Instrument, Lender grants to Borrower a license revocable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default to collect, receive, use and enjoy the Rents and Borrower shall hold the Rents, or a portion thereof sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt, for use in the payment of such sums.

Section 1.3 Security Agreement. This Security Instrument is both a real property mortgage and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security Instrument, Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter defined), a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property and other property constituting the Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property and such other property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the “Collateral”). If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by

 

5


Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) business days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. Borrower’s (debtor’s) principal place of business is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Lender (secured party) is as set forth on page one hereof.

Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of the existence of any commercial tort claim now or hereafter existing for the benefit of Borrower or the Property, and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver a security agreement or other documentation as Lender shall from time to time require to acquire and perfect a valid and binding security interest in such commercial tort claim.

Section 1.4 Fixture Filing. Certain of the Property is or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land, and this Security Instrument, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the city or county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become fixtures.

Section 1.5 Pledges of Monies Held. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of Lender, including any sums deposited in the Lockbox Account, the Cash Management Account, the Reserve Funds and Net Proceeds, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument or the Loan Agreement.

Section 1.6 Common Law Pledge/Assignment. To the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code does not apply to any item of the Personal Property, it is the intention of this Security Instrument that Lender have a common law pledge and/or collateral assignment of such item of Personal Property.

ARTICLE IV - OBLIGATIONS AND RELIANCES

11


pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

(b) Borrower shall not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security Instrument or the Debt.

Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.

Section 6.2 No Sale/Encumbrance.

Section 7.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), Borrower agrees that Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, but only to the to the extent permitted by applicable California law, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its discretion, without, to the extent permitted by applicable California law, impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender:

Trustee shall, only at the direction of Lender and without demand on Borrower, after 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 Borrower’s interest in the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in such notice of sale, either as a whole, or in separate lots or parcels or items as Lender shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale, or as otherwise may then be required by law. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient

 

13


deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without limitation, Borrower, Trustee, Lender, or any Lender, may purchase at such sale, and Borrower covenants to warrant and defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers.

Neither Trustee nor Lender shall be required to take possession of any part of the Property or to have any of the personal property present at any sale of the Property. Trustee or Lender may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Trustee or Lender, including the posting of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of Lender. If any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Trustee or Lender, such sale shall not exhaust the power of sale hereunder, and Trustee or Lender shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made hereunder.

(v) Trustee may, in the manner provided by law, postpone sale of all or any portion of the 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.

(d) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein, in the Note, the Loan Agreement or in the other Loan Documents;

(e) apply for and obtain the appointment, on an ex parte basis (any required notice of such appointment or any proceeding to appoint the same being hereby expressly waived) and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard for the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor, indemnitor or of any Person liable for the payment of the Debt, of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Property to do all of the actions

 

14


set forth in subparagraph (h) below and to, with the consent of Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable California law, dispose (by lease, sale or otherwise) of some or all of the Property in the course of the proceeding in which such receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator is appointed;

Section 7.3 Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, or if Borrower fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make any payment or do any act required of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 7.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender.

Section 7.7 Other Rights, etc. (a) The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument.

(c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

 

17


Section 7.8 Right to Release Any Portion of the Property.

writing in the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, there are not, and were not, and no persons are or were authorized by Lender to make, any representations, understandings, stipulations, agreements or promises, oral or written, with respect to the transaction which is the subject of the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

Section 15.8 Limitation on Lender’s Responsibility. No provision of this Security Instrument shall operate to place any obligation or liability for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Lender, nor shall it operate to make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants or any other Person, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Lender a “mortgagee in possession.”

Section 15.9 Rules of Construction. The following rules of construction shall be applicable for all purposes of this Security Instrument and all documents or instruments supplemental hereto, unless the context otherwise clearly requires:

(a) The terms “include,” “including” and similar terms shall be construed as if followed by the phrase “without being limited to”;

(b) any pronoun used herein shall be deemed to cover all genders, and words importing the singular number shall mean and include the plural number, and vice versa;

(c) all captions to the Sections hereof are used for convenience and reference only and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of, or in any way affect, this Security Instrument;

(d) the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”;

(e) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Security Instrument refer to this Security Instrument as a whole and not to any particular provision or section of this Security Instrument;

(f) an Event of Default shall “continue” or be “continuing” until such Event of Default has been waived in writing by Lender;

24


matter relating to the terms and conditions of this Security Instrument, including any right to determine that something is satisfactory or not (“Decision Power”), such Decision Power shall be exercised in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender unless otherwise expressly stated to be reasonably exercised. Such Decision Power and each other power granted to Lender upon this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document may be exercised by Lender or by any authorized agent of Lender (including any servicer and/or attorney-in-fact), and Borrower hereby expressly agrees to recognize the exercise of such Decision Power by such authorized agent.

This Security Instrument may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterpart shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a single Security Instrument.

Lender may, at its election, subordinate the lien of this Security Instrument and any or all of Lender’s rights, titles or interests hereunder to any lien, leasehold interest, easement, plat, covenant, restriction, dedication, encumbrance or other matter affecting the Property or any part thereof by recording a written declaration of such subordination in the office of the register or recorder of deeds or similar filing officer for the county in which the Land is located. If foreclosure sale occurs hereunder after the recording of any such declaration, the title received by the purchaser at such sale shall be subject to the matters specified in such declaration, but such declaration shall not otherwise affect the validity or terms of this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document or the priority of any lien or security interest created hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Without limitation of the foregoing, Lender shall have the right to unilaterally modify any Loan Document to release any lien on any portion of the Property

ARTICLE XVI - DEED OF TRUST PROVISIONS

Trustee, by acceptance of this Security Instrument, covenants to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable, however, only for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services rendered by Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof. Trustee may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower and to Lender. Lender may

 

25


remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and select a successor trustee. In the event of the death, removal, resignation, refusal to act, or inability to act of Trustee, or in its discretion for any reason whatsoever Lender may, without notice and without specifying any reason therefor and without applying to any court, select and appoint a successor trustee, by an instrument recorded wherever this Security Instrument is recorded and all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon become vested in such successor. Such substitute trustee shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of the duties of Trustee hereunder unless required by Lender. The procedure provided for in this paragraph for substitution of Trustee shall be in addition to and not in exclusion of any other provisions for substitution, by law or otherwise.

Section 16.3 Certain Rights. With the approval of Lender, Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (a) to select, employ, and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Lender) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution, and interpretation of the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Loan Documents, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (b) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through his/her agents or attorneys, (c) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his/her duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee, and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or bad faith and (d) any and all other lawful action as Lender may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Lender’s rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Property for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting an action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual expenses incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee’s duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of Trustee’s services hereunder as shall be rendered.

Section 16.4 Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by applicable law) and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder.

Section 16.5 Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any nature be required from Borrower by any Trustee or substitute trustee to more fully and

 

26


certainly vest in and confirm to the Trustee or substitute trustee such estates rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by the Trustee or substitute trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Borrower.

Section 16.6 Succession Instruments. Any substitute trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or his/her predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Lender or of the substitute trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute trustee so appointed in the Trustee’s place.

(a) BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS AWARE OF AND UNDERSTANDS SCHOOLCRAFT V. ROSS (81 CAL. APP. 3D 75 (1981)) AND ITS PROGENY AS WELL AS CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 2924.7 AND FINANCIAL CODE SECTIONS 1227.3 AND 7462, WHICH PERMIT LENDER TO REQUIRE INSURANCE BUT OBLIGATE LENDER TO ALLOW BORROWER TO USE CASUALTY INSURANCE PROCEEDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF REPAIRING OR RESTORING THE REAL PROPERTY PLEDGED AS SECURITY FOR THE BORROWER’S OBLIGATIONS TO LENDER UNLESS LENDER’S SECURITY HAS BEEN IMPAIRED. BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, IN THE EVENT OF A CASUALTY TO THE PROPERTY, IF BORROWER FAILS TO REPAIR OR RESTORE THE PROPERTY IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THE LOAN AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH FAILURE IS THE RESULT OF ANY VOLUNTARY ACTION OR INACTION BY BORROWER, OR ANY ACT OR DETERMINATION OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY (WHETHER PURSUANT TO ANY ZONING, LAND USE OR OTHER ORDINANCE, CODE, REGULATION OR REQUIREMENT OR OTHERWISE), SUCH FAILURE IS AND SHALL BE DEEMED A SUBSTANTIAL IMPAIRMENT OF THE PROPERTY ENTITLING LENDER TO APPLY THE NET INSURANCE PROCEEDS TO THE INDEBTEDNESS IN SUCH ORDER AND MANNER AS LENDER MAY ELECT, WHETHER OR NOT DUE AND PAYABLE, WITH ANY EXCESS PAID TO BORROWER. BY INITIALING THIS PROVISION IN THE SPACE PROVIDED BELOW, BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE TERMS OF THIS PROVISION HAVE BEEN SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED FOR AND ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO MAKE THE LOAN AND WITHOUT WHICH LENDER WOULD NOT MAKE THE LOAN.

(b) Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to (i) apply the Net Proceeds of any Condemnation Proceeds in reduction of the Debt in such order and manner as Lender may elect, whether due or not or (ii) make the proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration. Any implied covenant in this Security Instrument or the Loan Agreement restricting the right of Lender to make such an election is waived by Borrower. In addition, Borrower hereby waives the provisions of any law prohibiting Lender from making such an election, including, without limitation, the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure commencing with Section 1265.210.

Section 17.5 Notices Of Default. All notices and cure periods described in Section 8.1 of the Loan Agreement shall not be applicable to any event which with the giving of notice, the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, if such event has occurred as of the date on which Lender commences a nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding with respect to another Event or Event of Default. Such event shall constitute an independent Event of Default hereunder and under the Loan Agreement.

Section 17.6 Recovery of Sums Required to be Paid. The following sentence is inserted at the end of Section 7.5: “This Section 7.5 is separate and several, and shall survive the merger of this provision into any judgment.”

Section 17.8 Environmental Compliance.

(a) With or without notice, and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to cure any default of Borrower under this Section 5.1.19 of the Loan Agreement, and, in connection therewith, Lender or its agents, acting by themselves or through a court-appointed receiver, may enter upon the Property or any part thereof and perform such acts and things as Lender deems necessary or desirable to inspect, investigate, assess, and protect the security hereof, including without limitation, the right to: (i) obtain a court order to enforce Lender’s rights to enter and inspect the Property under California Civil Code Section 2929.5, to which the decision of Lender as to whether there exists a release or threatened release of Hazardous Substances in or onto the Property shall be deemed reasonable and conclusive as between the parties hereto; and (ii) have a receiver appointed under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 564 to enforce Lender’s right to enter and inspect the Property for Hazardous Substances. All costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Lender with respect to the audits, tests, inspections, and examinations which Lender or its agents or employees may conduct, including the fees of the engineers, laboratories, contractor, consultants, and attorneys, shall be paid by Borrower. All reimbursement costs and expenses incurred by Trustee and Lender pursuant to this subparagraph (including, without limitation, court costs, consultant fees and attorney fees, whether incurred in litigation or otherwise and whether before or after judgment) shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such costs and expenses are incurred until said sums have been fully paid.

 

29


(b) At Lender’s option, Lender shall be entitled to seek a judgment that Borrower has breached its covenants, representations and/or warranties with respect to the environmental matters set forth in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith between Borrower and Lender, by commencing and maintaining an action or actions in any court of competent jurisdiction for breach of contract pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736, whether commenced prior to foreclosure of the Property or otherwise, and to seek the recovery of any and all costs, damages, expenses, fees, penalties, fines, judgments, indemnification payments to third parties, and other out-of-pocket costs or expenses actually incurred or advanced by Lender relating to the cleanup, remediation or other response action, required by applicable law or to which Lender believes necessary to protect the Property (collectively, the “Environmental Costs”) (excluding, however, any Environmental Costs not permitted to be recovered pursuant to Section 736 of the California Code of Civil Procedure), it being conclusively presumed between Lender and Borrower that all such Environmental Costs incurred or advanced by Lender relating to the cleanup, remediation, or other response action of or to the Property were made by Lender in good faith. Environmental Costs that are not permitted to be recovered pursuant to Section 736 may be referred to hereinafter as the “Unsecured Environmental Costs,” and Environmental Costs other than the Unsecured Environmental Costs may be referred to hereinafter as the “Secured Environmental Costs.” Any Unsecured Environmental Costs shall not be secured by this Security Instrument; provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent Lender from recovering any Unsecured Environmental Costs pursuant to the unsecured Environmental Indemnity, to the extent they are recoverable in accordance with said Environmental Indemnity. All Environmental Costs under this subparagraph (including, without limitation, court costs, consultant fees and attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in litigation or otherwise and whether before or after judgment) shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of such costs and expenses have been incurred until said sums have been fully paid. Lender shall be entitled to bid, at a sale of the Property held as provided herein, the amount of such Secured Environmental Costs (including interest thereon) in addition to the amount of the other obligations hereby secured as a credit bid, the equivalent of cash.

(c) At Lender’s option, Lender shall be entitled to waive its lien against the Property or any portion thereof, whether fixtures or personal property, to the extent such property is found to be environmentally impaired in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5 and to exercise any and all rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor against Borrower and all of Borrower’s assets and property for the recovery of any deficiency and Environmental Costs, including, but not limited to, seeking an attachment order under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 483.010. As between Lender and Borrower, for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, Borrower shall have the burden of proving that Borrower or any related party (or any affiliate or agent of Borrower or any related party) was not in any way negligent in permitting the release or threatened release of Hazardous Substances.

(d) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any term or provision contained herein or in the Loan Documents, Environmental Costs shall be exceptions to any nonrecourse or exculpatory provisions of the Loan Documents. Borrower shall be fully and personally liable for the Environmental Costs hereunder, and such liability shall

 

30


not be limited to the original principal amount of the obligation secured by this Security Instrument. Borrower’s obligations for Environmental Costs shall survive a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, release, reconveyance, or any other transfer of the Property or this Security Instrument. For the purposes of any action brought under subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 12.5, Borrower hereby waives the defense of laches and any applicable statute of limitations.

Section 17.9 Waiver Of Trial By Jury. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THE NOTE, THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THE NOTE, THE NOTE, THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS OR AGENTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

Borrower’s Initials

Section 17.10 Leasing Matters. Lender is authorized to foreclose this Security Instrument subject to the rights of any tenants of the Property, and the failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted by Borrower to be, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Lender to collect the sums secured hereby or to collect any deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Property. Unless otherwise agreed by Lender in writing, all leases and tenancies of the Property executed subsequent to the date hereof, or any part thereof, shall be subordinate and inferior to the lien of this Security Instrument, but superior to any other lien on the Property and shall contain an attornment provision pursuant to which the tenant agrees to attorn to the successful bidder at the foreclosure sale of this Security Instrument at the option of such successful bidder. Additionally, from time to time Lender may execute and record among the land records of the jurisdiction where this Security Instrument is recorded, subordination statements with respect to such of said leases as Lender may designate, whereby the leases so designated by Lender will be made superior to the lien of this Security Instrument. From and after the recordation of such subordination statements, the leases therein referred to shall be superior to the lien of this Security Instrument. From and after the recordation of such subordination statements, the leases therein referred to shall be superior to the lien of this Security Instrument and shall not be affected by any foreclosure hereof. All such leases and tenancies shall contain a provision to the effect that the tenant recognizes the right of Lender to effect such subordination of this Security Instrument and consents thereto. Further, all such leases and tenancies shall contain a provision obligating the tenant to attorn to the Lender or the successful bidder at a foreclosure sale following such foreclosure sale.

Section 17.11 Waivers. Borrower waives, to the extent permitted by law, (a) the benefit of all laws now existing or that may hereafter be enacted providing for any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Property, (b) all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of election to mature or

 

31


declare due the whole of the Debt in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created, (c) all rights and remedies which Borrower may have or be able to assert by reason of the laws of the State of California pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties, (d) the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien of this Security Instrument or to any action brought to enforce the Note or any other obligation, and (e) any rights, legal or equitable, to require marshaling of assets or to require foreclosure sales in a particular order, including any rights under California Civil Code Sections 2899 and 3433, and all rights of Borrower under California Civil Code Section 2822. Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein. Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the remedies provided herein. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of Borrower’s rights under Section 2924c of the California Civil Code.

Section 17.12 Dwellings. No portion of the proceeds of the Loan shall be used by Borrower to finance the purchase or construction of real property containing four (4) or fewer residential units or on which four (4) or fewer residential units are to be constructed. No portion of the Property is or will be a “dwelling” within the meaning of Section 10240.1 or Section 10240.2 of the California Business and Professions Code.

Section 17.13 Reconveyance. Upon written request of the Lender and surrender of this Security Instrument and the Note to Trustee for cancellation or endorsement, and upon payment of its fees and charges, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, all or any part of the property then subject to this Security Instrument. Any reconveyance, whether full or partial, may be made in terms to “the person or persons legally entitled thereto,” and the recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.

Section 17.14 Notice of Default/Notice of Sale. Borrower hereby requests that any notice of default and any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to them at their respective addresses set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Security Instrument.

Section 17.15 Hazard Insurance Disclosure. This Section is being furnished by Lender in compliance with Section 2955.5(b) of the California Civil Code. California Civil Code Section 2955.5(a) reads as follows: “No lender shall require a borrower, as a condition of receiving or maintaining a loan secured by real property, to provide hazard insurance coverage against risks to the improvements on that real property in an amount exceeding the replacement value of the improvements on the property.” Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the above disclosure was made by Lender to Borrower prior to execution of this Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents.

ARTICLE XVIII - ADDITIONAL OR SPECIAL PROVISIONS OR MODIFICATIONS

Section 18.1 Principles of Construction. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Article 18 and the terms and conditions of this Security Instrument, the terms and conditions of this Article 18 shall control and be binding.

Section 18.2 Other Security Instruments; No Election of Remedies.

(a) The Debt is now or may hereafter be secured by one or more other mortgages, deeds of trust and other security agreements (collectively, as the same may be amended and in effect from time to time, are herein collectively called the “Other Security Instruments”), which cover or will hereafter cover other properties that are or may be located in various states (the “Other Collateral”). The Other Security Instruments will secure the Debt and the performance of the other covenants and agreements of Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may proceed under this Security Instrument and/or any or all the Other Security Instruments against either the Property and/or any or all of the Other Collateral in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Lender shall elect, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, and whether now or hereafter in force, any right to have the Property or the Other Collateral marshaled upon any foreclosure of this Security Instrument or any Other Security Instrument.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and without limitation as to any other right or remedy provided to Lender in this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, in the case of an Event of Default, in each instance to the extent permitted by applicable California law, (i) Lender shall have the right to pursue all of the rights and remedies under this Security Instrument and the Loan Documents, at law and/or in equity, in one proceeding, or separately and independently in separate proceedings from time to time, as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine from time to time, (ii) Lender shall not be required to either marshal assets, sell the Property and/or any Other Collateral in any particular order of alienation (and may sell the same simultaneously and together or separately), or be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule with respect to the Property or any Other Collateral, (iii) the exercise by Lender of any remedies against any one item of Property or any Other Collateral will not impede Lender from subsequently or simultaneously exercising remedies against any other item of Property or Other Collateral, (iv) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender herein shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and all Property has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt, and (v) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any security held by Lender in such order and manner Lender, in its discretion, may elect and Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument.

(c) Without notice to or consent of Borrower and without impairment of the lien and rights created by this Security Instrument, Lender may, at any time (in its sole and absolute discretion, but Lender shall have no obligation to), execute and deliver to Borrower a written instrument releasing all or a portion of the lien of this Security Instrument as security for any or all of the obligations of Borrower now existing or hereafter arising under or in respect of the Note, the Loan Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, whereupon following the execution and delivery by Lender to Borrower of any such written instrument of release, this Security Instrument shall no longer secure such obligations of Borrower so released.

Section 18.3 Incorporation by Reference. Section 3.2 is hereby modified by adding the following to the end thereof: “In the event of any conflict between this Security Instrument and the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall control.”

 

33


Section 18.4 Maintenance of Property. The second sentence of Section 3.4 is hereby modified by adding the following to the end thereof: “except as my be permitted in accordance with the Loan Agreement.”
