By executing and delivering this Security Instrument, Individual Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, and Trustee, in trust for the benefit of Lender, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter defined), a security interest in the Fixtures (including in any event all “fixtures” (as defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) located on the Land), 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, 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”).

right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Agent may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Individual Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Agent. Individual Borrower shall pay to Agent within three (3) Business Days after written demand therefor, any and all out of pocket expenses, including reasonable third party legal expenses and attorneys’ fees of outside counsel, incurred or paid by Agent 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 Agent with respect to the Collateral sent to Individual 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 commercially reasonable notice to Individual Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Agent to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Agent in its discretion shall deem proper. Individual Borrower’s (debtor’s) principal place of business is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Agent (secured party) is as set forth on page one hereof.

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.

Individual Borrower hereby authorizes Agent at any time and from time to time to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements as authorized by applicable law, as applicable to all or part of the fixtures or Personal Property for purposes of evidencing the security interests granted to Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, hereunder. For purposes of such filings, Individual Borrower agrees to furnish any information requested by Agent promptly upon request by Agent. Individual Borrower also ratifies its authorization for Agent to have filed any like initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements. Individual Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent and any officer or agent of Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys- in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Individual Borrower or in Individual Borrower’s own name to, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, execute in Individual Borrower’s name any documents and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Section 1.4, to the extent that Individual Borrower’s authorization above is not sufficient. To the extent permitted by law, Individual Borrower hereby ratifies all acts said attorneys-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done in the future by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

Section 1.5      Pledges of Monies Held.  Individual Borrower hereby pledges to Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, any and all monies now or hereafter held by Agent or on behalf of Agent or Lender, including, without limitation, 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.

assigned, warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Individual Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Trustee or Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Security Instrument or for filing, registering or recording this Security Instrument, or for complying with all Legal Requirements. Individual Borrower, on written demand, will execute and deliver, and in the event it shall fail to so execute and deliver, hereby authorizes Agent to execute in the name of Individual Borrower or without the signature of Individual Borrower to the extent Agent may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements to evidence more effectively the security interest of Agent in the Property. Such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this Security Instrument or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner, including, without limitation, all assets of the Individual Borrower, as the Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security instrument in the collateral granted to the Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, in connection herewith. Individual Borrower grants to Agent an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Agent at law and in equity upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of an Event of Default, including without limitation such rights and remedies available to Agent pursuant to this Section 5.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding sentence, Agent shall not execute any documents as attorney-in-fact for Individual Borrower unless (a) Individual Borrower shall have failed or refused to execute the same within five (5) Business Days after Agent shall have given notice requesting execution thereof, or (b) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and in Agent’s good faith determination it would be materially prejudiced by the delay involved in making such request.

Section 5.3      Changes in Tax, Debt, Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws.  (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Agent’s interest in the Property, Individual Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any (provided that nothing hereunder shall require Individual Borrower to pay any income tax imposed on Agent by reason of its interest in the Property). If Agent is advised in writing by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Individual Borrower and/or Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Agent or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Agent shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable, provided, however, no Spread Maintenance Premium or penalty shall be due or payable in connection therewith and, provided further, that Agent shall not exercise such option if, within one hundred eighty (180) days of receipt by Individual Borrower of such written notice, Individual Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to the Release Amount for the Property and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.6 of the Loan Agreement (provided that Section 2.6.1(a)(iv) shall not be applicable). No Spread Maintenance Premium or penalty shall be due or payable in connection with the foregoing prepayment, but if such prepayment of the Loan occurs on a day that is not a Payment Date, the Debt shall include all amounts of interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan to be paid through and including the last day of the Accrual Period related to the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment of the Loan, or, if such prepayment of the Loan occurs on a Payment Date, the Debt shall include all amounts of accrued and unpaid interest through and including the last day of the Accrual Period related to such Payment Date.

 

-12-

---

(b)        Individual Borrower will 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. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Agent shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable provided, however, no Spread Maintenance Premium or penalty shall be due or payable in connection therewith and, provided further, that Agent shall not exercise such option if, within one hundred eighty (180) days of receipt by Individual Borrower of such written notice, Individual Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to the Release Amount for the Property and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.6 of the Loan Agreement (provided that Section 2.6.1(a)(iv) shall not be applicable). No Spread Maintenance Premium or penalty shall be due or payable in connection with the foregoing prepayment, but if such prepayment of the Loan occurs on a day that is not a Payment Date, the Debt shall include all amounts of interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan to be paid through and including the last day of the Accrual Period related to the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment of the Loan, or, if such prepayment of the Loan occurs on a Payment Date, the Debt shall include all amounts of accrued and unpaid interest through and including the last day of the Accrual Period related to such Payment Date.

(c)        If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, this Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Individual Borrower will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any, provided that Individual Borrower will have the right to contest such amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.

Section 5.4     Severing of Mortgage.    This Security Instrument and the Note shall, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the sole election of Agent and at Agent’s expense, be severed into two or more notes and two or more security instruments in such denominations as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion, each of which shall cover all or a portion of the Property to be more particularly described therein, provided that such severance does not increase, other than a de minimis amount, the obligations of Individual Borrower under the Loan Documents or diminish, other than a de minimis amount, any of the rights of Individual Borrower under the Loan Documents. To that end, Individual Borrower, upon written request of Agent and at Agent’s sole cost and expense, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Agent and/or its designee or designees, substitute notes and security instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid principal amount of this Security Instrument, and containing terms, provisions and clauses substantially the same as those contained herein and in the Note, and such other documents and instruments as may be required by Agent. The provisions of this Section 5.4 are subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

Section 5.5      Replacement Documents.    Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Agent as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any other Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other Loan Document, Individual Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Loan Document to which it was originally a party, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or other Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

ARTICLE 6 - DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE

Section 6.1      Lender Reliance.  Individual Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Individual Borrower and its general partners, members, principals and (if Individual Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Individual Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Individual Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that should an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement be continuing, Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender, can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.

Section 6.2      No Sale/Encumbrance.    Neither Individual Borrower nor any Restricted Party shall Transfer the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein or permit or suffer the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein to be Transferred other than as expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

ARTICLE 7 - RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Section 7.1       Remedies.    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Individual Borrower agrees that Agent may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Individual Borrower and in and to the Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may, to the extent permitted under California law, be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Agent:

(a)        declare the entire unpaid Debt to be immediately due and payable;

(b)        institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this Security Instrument under any applicable provision of law, in which case the Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner;

(c)        with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien and security interest of this Security Instrument for the balance of the Debt not then due, unimpaired and without loss of priority;

 

-14-

---

(d)        sell for cash or upon credit the Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Individual Borrower therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale (if applicable under the laws of the State in which the Property is located), or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law;

(e)        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;

(f)        recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents;

(g)        apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard for the solvency of Individual Borrower and/or any other Borrower, any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan or of any Person liable for the payment of the Debt;

(h)        the license granted to Individual Borrower under Section 1.2 hereof shall automatically be revoked and Agent may, subject to compliance with applicable California law, enter into or upon the Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Individual Borrower and its agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Individual Borrower and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and Individual Borrower agrees to surrender possession of the Property and of such books, records and accounts to Agent upon demand, and thereupon Agent may (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Agent deems advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Individual Borrower with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Individual Borrower or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants (subject to any non-disturbance agreements that Agent may have entered into with such tenants, if any), and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents; (v) require Individual Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Agent, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be occupied by Individual Borrower; (vi) require Individual Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Agent or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Individual Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of the Debt, in such order, priority and proportions as Agent shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, Insurance Premiums and other expenses in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Agent, its counsel, agents and employees;

 

-15-

---

(i)        exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Agent may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Fixtures, the Equipment, and the Personal Property, and (ii) request Individual Borrower at its expense to assemble the Fixtures, the Equipment, and the Personal Property and make it available to Agent at a convenient place acceptable to Agent. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Agent with respect to the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property sent to Individual Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Individual Borrower;

(j)        apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or otherwise by or on behalf of Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document to the payment of the following items in any order in its sole discretion:

(i)        Taxes and Other Charges;

(ii)       Insurance Premiums;

(iii)      Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note;

(iv)      Amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Note; or

(v)       All other sums payable pursuant to the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, advances made by Agent or Lender pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument;

(k)       pursue such other remedies as Agent may have under applicable law; or

In the event of a sale under this Section 7.1, by foreclosure, power of sale (if applicable under the laws of the State in which the Property is located) or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority.

Section 7.2      Application of Proceeds.     Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the purchase money, proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Property, and or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Agent or Lender pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, may be applied by Agent to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Agent in its discretion shall deem proper.

---

Section 7.3      Right to Cure Defaults.    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or if Individual Borrower or any other Borrower fails to make any payment as herein provided or as provided in the Loan Documents, Agent may remedy such Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Agent may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Individual Borrower or any other Borrower, and without releasing Individual Borrower from any obligation hereunder. Agent 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 of outside counsel 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 Agent upon written demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Agent 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, for the period after notice from Agent that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Agent. All such costs and expenses incurred by Agent together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon written demand by Agent therefor.

Section 7.4      Actions and Proceedings.     Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Agent or Trustee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Individual Borrower, which Agent, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property.

Section 7.5      Recovery of Sums Required to Be Paid.   Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Agent shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Agent or Trustee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Individual Borrower or any other Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.

Section 7.6      Examination of Books and Records.   Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice, Agent, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine the records, books, management and other papers of Individual Borrower which reflect its financial condition, at the Property or at any office regularly maintained by Individual Borrower where the books and records are located. Agent and its agents shall have the right to make copies and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers. In addition, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice, but no more often than twice in any calendar year (unless there shall occur an Event of Default, in which event the aforementioned limitation shall no longer apply), Agent, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine and audit the books and records of Individual Borrower

pertaining to the income, expenses and operation of the Property during reasonable business hours at any office of Individual Borrower (or of any other Borrower) where the books and records are located. This Section 7.6 shall apply throughout the term of the Note and without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

Section 7.7      Other Rights, etc.   (a) The failure of Agent or Trustee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Individual Borrower shall not be relieved of Individual Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Agent or Trustee to comply with any request of Individual Borrower, any other Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Agent extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

(b)        It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Individual Borrower, and Agent shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, except arising solely as a result of Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or illegal acts, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Agent shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Agent’s possession.

(c)        During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Agent in connection with the Loan in such order and manner as Agent, in its discretion, may elect. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent or Trustee may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Agent or Trustee thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Agent or Trustee 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 Agent or Trustee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Neither Agent nor Trustee shall 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.

Section 7.8      Right to Release Any Portion of the Property.   Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Agent may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Agent may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Agent for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Agent may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.

The provisions of Sections 8.2 and 8.3 herein are exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpation provisions in the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, and Individual Borrower, any other Borrower and any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan are fully and personally liable for the obligations pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3 herein. The liability of Individual Borrower, any other Borrower, and any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3 herein is not limited to the original principal amount of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under California law, nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent Agent or Trustee from foreclosing, or exercising a power of sale pursuant to this Security Instrument or exercising any other rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, whether simultaneously with foreclosure proceedings or in any other sequence. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Individual Borrower pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3 herein, whether or not action is brought against any other Borrower or other Person or whether or not any other Borrower or other Person is joined in the action or actions. In addition, Agent shall have the right but not the obligation to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any administrative or judicial proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any matter addressed in Article 8 herein.

Section 7.11    Right of Entry.  Subject to the rights of Tenants, upon reasonable prior written notice to Individual Borrower, Agent and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times during the business day.

Section 7.12    Agent’s Remedies against Multiple Parcels.   The Debt and the Obligations hereby secured are also secured by other properties, lots and parcels (each an “Other Property” and collectively, the “Other Properties”) covered by other mortgages, deeds of trust and deeds to secure debt (the “Other Mortgages”) within and/or outside the state where the Property is located. If this Security Instrument or any of the Other Mortgages is foreclosed upon, or if judgment is entered upon any Obligations secured hereby, or if Agent exercises its power of sale (if applicable under the laws of the State in which the Property is located), execution may be

 

-19-

made upon or Agent may exercise its remedies (including any power of sale (if applicable under the laws of the State in which the applicable Other Property is located)) against any one or more of the Other Properties and not upon the other Other Properties, or upon all of such Other Properties, either together or separately, and at different times or at the same time, and the exercise of such remedies, execution sales or sales under the power of sale herein granted (if applicable under the laws of the state in which the Property is located) may likewise be conducted separately or concurrently, in each case at Agent’s election. No event of enforcement taking place against any Other Property, and no failure to prosecute any such other enforcement, shall in any way stay, preclude or bar enforcement of this Security Instrument, and Agent may pursue any or all of Agent’s rights and remedies under this Security Instrument until the Debt and the Obligations are paid and discharged in full.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each of Trustee and Agent is hereby appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Individual Borrower, which appointment is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, in Individual Borrower’s name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the property and rights so sold, Individual Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue thereof.

(vi)       Upon any such sale or sales, Agent may bid for and acquire the Property and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the Debt the amount of the bid made therefor, after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale, the cost of any enforcement proceeding hereunder, and any other sums which Trustee or Agent is authorized to deduct under the terms hereof, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid.

“Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Individual Borrower hereby expressly waives, except as may be prohibited by law, diligence, demand, presentment, protest and notice of every kind and nature whatsoever (unless as otherwise required under this Security Instrument or the Loan Agreement) any right to require Agent to enforce any remedy against any guarantor, endorser or other person whatsoever prior to the exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Individual Borrower waives any right to require Agent to: (i) proceed or exhaust any collateral security given or held by Agent in connection with the Obligations; (ii) give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of any real or personal property security for the Obligations or guaranty of the Obligations; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in Agent’s power whatsoever.

Section 16.7    Power of Sale Provisions.   For any sale under the power of sale granted by this Security Instrument, the Agent, its successors and assigns, may elect to cause the Property or any part thereof to be sold as follows:

(a)        Agent may proceed as if all of the Property were real property, in accordance with subparagraph (d) below, or Agent may elect to treat any of the Property which consists of a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the Land without causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in accordance with subparagraph (c) below, separate and apart from the sale of real property, the remainder of the Property being treated as real property.

(b)        Agent may cause any such sale or other disposition to be conducted immediately following the expiration of any grace period if any, herein provided (or immediately upon the expiration of any redemption and period required by law) as specified in subparagraph (a) above or Agent may delay any such sale or other disposition for such period of time as Agent deems to be in its best interest. Should Agent desire that more than one such sale or the disposition be conducted, Agent may at its option, cause the same to be conducted simultaneously, or successively on the same day, or at such different days or times and such order as Agent may deem to be in its best interest.

(c)        Should Agent elect to cause any of the Property to be disposed of as personal property as permitted by subparagraph (a) above, it may dispose of any part hereof in any manner now or hereafter permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or in accordance with any other remedy provided by law. Both Individual Borrower and Agent shall be eligible to purchase any part or all of such property at any such disposition. Any such disposition may be either public or private as Agent may so elect, subject to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code. Agent shall give Individual Borrower at least five (5) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or other disposition of such property or of the time at or after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made, and if such notice is sent to Individual Borrower as provided in subparagraph (k) hereof, it shall constitute reasonable notice to Individual Borrower.

(d)        Should Agent elect to sell the Property which is real property or which Agent has elected to treat as real property, upon such election Agent or Trustee shall give notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law. Thereafter, upon the expiration of such time and the giving of such notice of sale as may then be required by law, Trustee, at the time and place specified in the notice of sale, shall sell such Property, or any portion thereof specified by Agent, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, subject, however, to the provisions of subparagraph (i) hereof, Trustee for good cause

(f)        Agent and/or Trustee shall apply the proceeds of any sale or disposition hereunder to payment of the following: (1) the expenses of such sale or disposition together with Trustee’s fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the actual cost of publishing, recording, mailing and posting notice; (2) the cost of any search and/or other evidence of title procured in connection therewith and transfer tax on any deed or conveyance; (3) all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest in the amount provided herein; (4) all other sums secured hereby; and (5) the remainder if any to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

(g)        The acknowledgment of the receipt of the purchase money, contained in any deed or conveyance executed as aforesaid, shall be sufficient discharge from all obligations to see to the proper application of the consideration therefor.

(h)        Individual Borrower hereby expressly waives, except as may be prohibited by law, any right which it may have to direct the order in which any of the Property shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant hereto.

(i)        Upon any sale of the Property, whether made under a power of sale herein granted or pursuant to judicial proceedings, if the holder of the Note is a purchaser at such sale, it shall be entitled to use and apply all or any portion of the Debt then secured hereby for or in settlement or payment of all or any portion of the purchase price of the property purchased, and, in such case, this Security Instrument, the Note and documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby shall be presented to the person conducting the sale in order that the amount of said Debt so used or applied may be credited thereon as having been paid.

(j)        Every power or remedy given by this instrument to Trustee or Agent, or to which of them may be otherwise entitled, may be exercised from time to time and as often may be deemed expedient by Trustee or Agent, and either of them pursue inconsistent remedies. If there exists additional security for the performance of the Obligations secured hereby, the holder of the Note, at its sole option and without limiting or affecting any rights or remedies hereunder,

 

-32-

may exercise any of the rights and remedies to which it may be entitled hereunder either concurrently with whatever other rights it may have in connection with such other security or in such offer as it may determine.

(k)        Individual Borrower hereby requests that every notice of default and every notice of sale be given in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement except as otherwise required by statute.

“PROVIDED, HOWEVER, upon written request of Agent stating that all Debt secured hereby has been paid, and upon the surrendering of this Security Instrument, and the Note to Trustee for cancellation and retention and upon payment by Individual Borrower of Trustee’s fees, Trustee shall reconvey to Individual Borrower, or to the person or persons legally entitled thereto, without warranty, any portion of the estate hereby granted and then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The grantee in any reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.”

(c)        Article 6:  Section 6.1 and 6.2 are hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

“Section 6.1 Lender Reliance.  Individual Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Individual Borrower and its general partners, members, principals and (if Individual Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Individual Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Individual Borrower acknowledges that Agent and each Lender have a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Individual Borrower commit an Event of Default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Agent can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.

Section 6.1 No Transfer.  Individual Borrower shall not permit or suffer any Transfer to occur, unless Agent shall consent thereto in writing.

(d)        Section 7.1:  The first paragraph shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Individual Borrower agrees that to the extent permitted by applicable law and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, Agent (by or through Trustee or itself) may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Individual Borrower and in and to the Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Agent and any Lender:

(e)        Section 7.2:  The reference to “Agent” shall refer to “Agent or by Trustee, as the case may be”.

Section 16.9    Dwellings.  No portion of the proceeds of the Loan shall be used by Individual 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 16.10  Supplemental Environmental Provisions.  In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be “environmentally impaired” (as “environmentally impaired” is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an “affected parcel” (as “affected parcel” is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting Agent’s, any Lender’s or Trustee’s rights and remedies under this Security Instrument, Agent may elect to exercise its right under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to (i) waive its lien on such environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property, and (ii) exercise the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against Individual Borrower to judgment and any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of determining Agent’s right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a), Individual Borrower shall be deemed to have willfully permitted or acquiesced in a release or threatened release of hazardous materials, within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of hazardous materials was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee, occupant or user of any portion of the Property and Individual Borrower knew or should have known of the activity by such lessee, occupant or user which caused or contributed to the release or threatened release. Agent shall have the right under Article VII of this Security Instrument to allocate amounts recovered on the Debt first to those portions thereof other than damages and other amounts recoverable under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736, and thereafter to damages and other amounts recoverable under said Article.

Section 16.11   Action for Environmental Claims.  In accordance with, and subject to limitations of, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736, Agent may seek a judgment that Individual Borrower has breached its covenants, representations and/or warranties with respect to the environmental matters contained in this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents (the “Environmental Provisions”), and may commence and maintain an action or actions in any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of the Environmental Provisions and/or recovery of any all costs, damages, expenses, fees, penalties, fines, judgments, indemnification payments to third parties, and other out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including, without limitation, court costs, consultants’ fees and attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in litigation or not and whether before or after judgment), incurred or advanced by Agent pursuant to the Environmental Provisions (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. 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; however, nothing herein shall prevent Agent from recovering any Unsecured Environmental Costs pursuant to the Environmental Indemnity to the extent they are recoverable in accordance with said Environmental Indemnity. All Secured Environmental Costs incurred by Agent shall bear interest at the default rate provided under the Note. All Secured Environmental Costs together with interest thereon at the rate then in effect under the Note shall be secured by this Security Instrument and shall enjoy the same priority as the original principal amount of the Note. Individual Borrower acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any term or provision contained in this Security Instrument or in the Note, Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents, Environmental Costs shall be exceptions to any nonrecourse or exculpatory provision, if any, and Individual Borrower shall be fully and personally liable for Environmental Costs. Such liability shall not be limited to the original principal amount of the obligations secured by this Security Instrument. Individual Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall survive 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 this Section, Individual Borrower hereby waives the defense of laches and any applicable statute of limitations.

Section 16.12  Hazard Insurance Disclosure.  This Section is being furnished by Agent in compliance with Section 2955.5(b) of the California Civil Code. California Civil Code Section 2955(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.” Individual Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the above disclosure was made by Agent to Individual Borrower prior to execution of this Security Instrument, the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the Other Loan Documents.

Section 16.13  Additional Waivers.

(a)        Individual Borrower hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2810 and agrees that by doing so Individual Borrower shall be liable even if each other Borrower (each an “Other Obligor” and, collectively, the “Other

 

-35-

---

Obligors”) had no liability at the time of execution of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, or thereafter ceases to be liable. Individual Borrower hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code Section 2809 and agrees that by doing so Individual Borrower’s liability may be larger in amount and more burdensome than that of Other Obligors. Individual Borrower waives all rights to require Agent or any Lender to pursue any other remedy it may have against any Other Obligor, or any shareholder, member or partner of any Other Obligor, including any and all benefits under California Civil Code Section 2845, 2849 and 2850. Individual Borrower further waives any rights, defenses and benefits that may be derived from Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code or comparable provisions of the laws of any other jurisdiction and further waives all other suretyship defenses Individual Borrower would otherwise have under the laws of California or any other jurisdiction.

(b)        Upon a default under the Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Agent in its sole discretion, without prior notice to or consent of Individual Borrower, may elect to: (i) foreclose either judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property security it may hold for the Loan, (ii) accept a transfer of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, (iii) compromise or adjust the Loan or any part of it or make any other accommodation with any Other Obligor or Individual Borrower, or (iv) exercise any other remedy against any Other Obligor, Individual Borrower, or any security. No such action by Agent or Lender shall release or limit the liability of Individual Borrower, who shall remain liable under this Security Instrument after the action, even if the effect of the action is to deprive Individual Borrower of any subrogation rights, rights of indemnity, or other rights to collect reimbursement from any Other Obligor for any sums paid to Agent or Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise. Individual Borrower expressly agrees that under no circumstances shall it be deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim in or to any real or personal property to be held by Agent or any Lender or any third party after any foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of any security for the Loan.

(c)        Regardless of whether Individual Borrower may have made any payments to Agent, Individual Borrower hereby waives: (A) all rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and any other rights to collect reimbursement from any Other Obligor or any other party for any sums paid to Agent or any Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law (including the United States Bankruptcy Code or any successor or similar statute) or otherwise, (B) all rights to enforce any remedy that Agent or any Lender may have against any Other Obligor, and (C) all rights to participate in any security now or later to be held by Agent for the benefit of each Lender for the Loan. The waivers given in this subsection (c) shall be effective until the Loan has been paid and performed in full.

(d)        Individual Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Agent, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Individual Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Other Obligor by operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Individual Borrower further waives any right to a fair value hearing under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, or any other similar law, to determine the size of any deficiency owing (for which any Other Obligor would be liable hereunder) following a non-judicial foreclosure sale.

 

-36-

---

(e)        Without limiting the foregoing or anything else contained in this Security Agreement, Individual Borrower waives all rights and defenses that Individual Borrower may have because the Loan is secured by real property. This means, among other things:

(i)        That Agent may collect from Individual Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Other Obligor; and

(ii)       If Agent forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any Other Obligor: (x) the amount of the Loan may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (y) Agent may collect from Individual Borrower even if Agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Individual Borrower may have to collect from any Other Obligor.

This subsection (e) is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Individual Borrower may have because the Loan is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

(f)        Individual Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of any failure of the Agent or any Lender to disclose to Individual Borrower any information relating to the financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of any Other Obligor now or in the future known to the Agent or any Lender (Individual Borrower waiving any duty on the part of the Agent or any Lender to disclose such information).
