below its value immediately before such alteration or addition, or impair the
usefulness of the Property; (b) is effected with due diligence, in a good and
workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Legal Requirements and
Insurance Requirements; (c) is promptly and fully paid for, or caused to be
paid for, by the Trustor; (d) is made, in case the estimated cost of such
alteration or addition exceeds U.S. $250,000, (i) only after the Beneficiary
shall have consented thereto and shall have reviewed and approved in writing
the plans and specifications therefor, (ii) under the supervision of a
qualified architect or engineer or another professional approved by the
Beneficiary and (iii) only after the Trustor shall have furnished to the
Beneficiary a performance bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to
the Beneficiary.
SECTION 1.13. ACQUIRED PROPERTY SUBJECT TO LIEN. All property at any time
acquired by the Trustor and provided or required by this Deed of Trust to be or
become subject to the lien and security interest hereof, whether such property
is acquired by exchange, purchase, construction or otherwise, shall forthwith
become subject to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust without
further action on the part of the Trustor, the Trustee or the Beneficiary. The
Trustor, at its expense, will execute and deliver to the Trustee and Beneficiary
(and will record and file as provided in SECTION 1.4) an instrument supplemental
to this Deed of Trust satisfactory in substance and form to the Beneficiary,
whenever such an instrument is necessary under applicable law to subject to the
lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust all right, title and interest
of the Trustor in and to all property provided or required by this Deed of Trust
to be subject to the lien and security interest hereof.
SECTION 1.14. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES, RENTS, PROCEEDS, ETC. The assignment,
grant and conveyance of the Leases, Rents, Proceeds and other rents, income,
proceeds and benefits of the Trust Premises contained in the Granting Clause of
this Deed of Trust shall constitute an absolute, present and irrevocable
assignment, grant and conveyance, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that permission is hereby
given to the Trustor, so long as no Event of Default has occurred hereunder, to
collect, receive and apply such Rents, Proceeds and other rents, income,
proceeds and benefits as they become due and payable, but not in advance
thereof, and
16
in accordance with all of the other terms, conditions and provisions hereof,
of the Loan Documents, and of the Leases, contracts, agreements and other
instruments with respect to which such payments are made or such other
benefits are conferred. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such
permission shall terminate immediately and automatically, without notice to
the Trustor or any other Person except as required by law, and shall not be
reinstated upon a cure of such Event of Default without the express written
consent of the Beneficiary. Such assignment shall be fully effective without
any further action on the part of the Trustor, the Trustee, or the
Beneficiary, and the Beneficiary shall be entitled, at its option, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, to collect, receive and apply
all Rents, Proceeds and all other rents, income, proceeds and benefits from
the Trust Premises, including all right, title and interest of the Trustor in
any escrowed sums or deposits or any portion thereof or interest therein,
whether or not the Trustee or the Beneficiary takes possession of the Trust
Premises or any part thereof. To the extent not prohibited by the relevant
Encumbered Lease, the Trustor further grants to the Beneficiary the right, at
the Beneficiary's option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder, to:
(a) enter upon and take possession of the Property for the purpose of
collecting Rents, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and said rents, income, proceeds and other
benefits;
(b) dispossess by the customary summary proceedings any tenant,
purchaser or other Person defaulting in the payment of any amount when and
as due and payable, or in the performance of any other obligation, under
any Lease, contract or other instrument to which said Rents, Proceeds or
other rents, income, proceeds or benefits relate;
(c) let or convey the Trust Premises or any portion thereof or any
interest therein; and
(d) apply Rents, Proceeds and such rents, income, proceeds and other
benefits, after the payment of all necessary fees, charges and expenses, on
account of the Secured Obligations in accordance with SECTION 3.11.
Trustor acknowledges and agrees that the acceptance by Beneficiary of the
assignments of the Leases, Rents and Proceeds with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and authority so created, shall not, prior to entry upon and taking
of possession of the Property by Beneficiary, be
17
deemed or construed to constitute Beneficiary a mortgagee in possession nor
thereafter or at any time or in any event obligate Beneficiary to appear in
or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Leases or to the Property,
or to take any action hereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses
or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or
other agreements relating to the Trust Premises, or to assume any obligation
or responsibility for any security deposits or other deposits delivered to
Trustor by lessees thereunder and not assigned and delivered to Beneficiary,
nor shall Beneficiary be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person
or property sustained by any person or persons, firm or corporation, in or
about the Property.
Trustor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Beneficiary harmless of and
from any and all liability, loss, damage or expense that it may or might incur
under or by reason of the assignments contained herein, or for any action taken
by Beneficiary hereunder, or by reason or in defense of any and all claims and
demands whatsoever that may be asserted against Beneficiary arising out of the
Leases, including without limitation any claim by any lessees of credit for
rental paid to and received by Trustor, but not delivered to Beneficiary, for
any period under the Leases more than one (1) month in advance of the due date
thereof. Should Beneficiary incur any such liability, loss, damage or expense,
the amount thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees) with interest thereon
at the U.S. Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus a margin of 2
1/2% shall be payable by Trustor immediately without demand, shall be secured by
this Deed of Trust, and shall be part of the Secured Obligations.
SECTION 1.15. NO CLAIMS AGAINST THE TRUSTEE OR THE BENEFICIARY. Nothing
contained in this Deed of Trust shall constitute any consent or request by the
Trustee or the Beneficiary, express or implied, for the performance of any labor
or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property
or any part thereof, or be construed to permit the making of any claim against
the Trustee or the Beneficiary in respect of labor or services or the furnishing
of any materials or other property or any claim that any lien based on the
performance of such labor or the furnishing of any such materials or other
property is prior to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust. ALL
CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, VENDORS AND OTHER PERSONS DEALING WITH THE
PROPERTY, OR WITH ANY PERSONS
18
INTERESTED ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ARE HEREBY REQUIRED TO TAKE NOTICE OF THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS SECTION.
SECTION 1.16. INDEMNIFICATION. The Trustor will protect, indemnify, save
harmless and defend the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Lenders, and each of their
respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives and
agents (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES" and individually, an
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon or
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party by reason of (a) ownership
of an interest in this Deed of Trust, any other Loan Document or the Property,
(b) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to or loss
of the use of property occurring on or about the Property or any part thereof or
the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault spaces, if any, streets, alleys
or ways, (c) any use, non-use or condition of the Property or any part thereof
or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault spaces, if any, streets,
alleys or ways, (d) any failure on the part of the Trustor to perform or comply
with any of the terms of this Deed of Trust, (e) performance of any labor or
services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the
Trust Premises or any part thereof made or suffered to be made by or on behalf
of the Trustor, (f) any negligence or tortious act on the part of the Trustor or
any of its agents, contractors, lessees, licensees or invitees, (g) any work in
connection with any alterations, changes, new construction or demolition of or
additions to the Property, or (h) (i) any Hazardous Material (as such term is
defined in the Credit Agreement) on, in, under or affecting all or any portion
of the Property, the groundwater, or any surrounding areas, (ii) any
misrepresentation, inaccuracy or breach of any warranty, covenant or agreement
contained or referred to in SECTIONS 1.20 and 1.21, (iii) any violation or claim
of violation by the Trustor of any Environmental, Health, or Safety Requirements
of Law, or (iv) the imposition of any lien for damages caused by or the recovery
of any costs for the cleanup, release or threatened release of any Hazardous
Material. If any action or proceeding be commenced, to which action or
proceeding any Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of the execution of
this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document, or in which it becomes necessary
to defend or uphold the lien of this Deed of Trust, all sums paid by the
Indemnified Parties, for the expense of any litigation to prosecute or defend
the rights
19
and lien created hereby or otherwise, shall be paid by the Trustor to such
Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided. The
Trustor will pay and save the Indemnified Parties harmless against any and
all liability with respect to any intangible personal property tax or similar
imposition of the State or any subdivision or authority thereof now or
hereafter in effect, to the extent that the same may be payable by the
Indemnified Parties in respect of this Deed of Trust, any Loan Document or
any Secured Obligation. All amounts payable to the Indemnified Parties under
this SECTION 1.16 shall be deemed indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust
and any such amounts which are not paid within ten (10) days after written
demand therefor by any Indemnified Party shall bear interest at the rate
provided for in Section 5.2.2. of the Credit Agreement from the date of such
demand. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any
Indemnified Party by reason of any such occurrence, the Trustor, upon request
of such Indemnified Party, will, at the Trustor's expense, resist and defend
such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted or defended
by counsel designated by the Trustor and approved by such Indemnified Party.
The obligations of the Trustor under this SECTION 1.16 shall survive any
discharge or reconveyance of this Deed of Trust and payment in full of the
Secured Obligations.
SECTION 1.17. NO CREDIT FOR PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Trustor shall not be
entitled to any credit against the Secured Obligations by reason of the payment
of any tax on the Property or any part thereof or by reason of the payment of
any other Imposition, and shall not apply for or claim any deduction from the
taxable value of the Property or any part thereof by reason of this Deed of
Trust.
SECTION 1.18. OFFERING OF THE NOTES; APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF LOANS.
Neither the Trustor nor any Person acting on behalf of the Trustor has directly
or indirectly offered the Notes or any portion thereof or any similar security
to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, any Person other than
the Beneficiary. Neither the Trustor nor any Person acting on behalf of the
Trustor has taken or will take any action which would subject the issuance of
the Notes to the provisions of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The Trustor (a) will not use or permit to be used any proceeds of the
Loans, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or
ultimate, of "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" within the meaning of
Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended from time to time, and (b)
20
has or will apply all of the proceeds of the Loans that are paid to it by the
Beneficiary to the purposes permitted by the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 1.19. ENCUMBERED LEASE. (a) The Trustor covenants and agrees that
it will promptly perform or cause to be performed all things necessary to
preserve and maintain the rights of the Trustor as lessee under the Encumbered
Lease, and use best efforts to prevent any termination, surrender, cancellation,
forfeiture or impairment thereof. The Trustor shall at all times fully perform
and comply with all agreements, covenants, terms and conditions imposed upon or
assumed by it as lessee under the Encumbered Lease prior to the expiration of
any notice and/or cure period provided in such Encumbered Lease. Upon receipt
by the Beneficiary from the lessor under the Encumbered Lease of any written
notice of default by the lessee thereunder, the Beneficiary may rely thereon and
take any action the Beneficiary deems necessary to prevent or to cure any
default by the Trustor in the performance of or compliance with any of the
agreements, covenants, terms or conditions imposed upon or assumed by the
Trustor as lessee under the Encumbered Lease, even though the existence of such
default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by the Trustor or by any
party on behalf of the Trustor. Without limiting the generality of any other
provisions hereof, the Trustor hereby expressly grants to the Beneficiary, and
agrees that the Beneficiary shall have, the right to enter in and upon the
Property or any part thereof to such extent and as often as the Beneficiary
deems necessary or desirable for the purposes permitted by the immediately
preceding sentence. Subject to the foregoing, and without limiting
Beneficiary's other remedies under this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary may pay
and expend such sums of money as the Beneficiary deems necessary for any such
purpose, and, in such event the amount so paid shall be immediately due and
payable, upon demand, together with interest thereon at the interest rate
provided for in the Credit Agreement for overdue payments, from the date of any
such payment by the Beneficiary to the date of repayment to the Beneficiary in
good and immediately available funds. If the Beneficiary takes any such action
to cure any such default by the Trustor, the Beneficiary shall notify the
Trustor thereof, provided however, that any failure by the Beneficiary so to
notify the Trustor shall not entitle the Trustor to challenge or otherwise
affect the validity of the Beneficiary's action or entitle the Trustor to any
claim for damages or any other claims, offsets or setoffs against the
Beneficiary.
21
(b) The Trustor further covenants and agrees that:
(i) It shall not surrender any leasehold estate and interest
hereinabove described, nor terminate or cancel the Encumbered Lease prior
to the expiration of its term, and that it shall not without the express
written consent of the Beneficiary, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Encumbered Lease
either orally or in writing, except if such modification, change,
supplement, alteration or amendment reduces the term, increases the rent,
materially increases Trustor's obligations under the Encumbered Lease,
materially decreases the Trustor's rights under the Encumbered Lease or
shall materially impair the Trustee's security interest in the Property or
the rights and remedies of the Trustee under this Deed of Trust, in which
cases the Beneficiary's consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion. As further security for the repayment of the indebtedness
secured hereby and for the performance of the covenants herein and in the
Encumbered Lease contained, the Trustor hereby assigns to the Beneficiary
all of its rights, privileges and prerogatives as lessee under the
Encumbered Lease to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or
amend the Encumbered Lease, and any termination, cancellation,
modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Encumbered
Lease without the prior written consent thereto by the Beneficiary, as set
forth above and pursuant to the conditions set forth herein, shall be void
and of no force and effect.
(ii) No release or forbearance of any of the Trustor's obligations
under the Encumbered Lease, pursuant to the Encumbered Lease or otherwise,
shall release the Trustor from any of its obligations under this Deed of
Trust, including, without limitation, its obligations with respect to the
payment of rent as provided for in the Encumbered Lease and the performance
of all of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements
contained in the Encumbered Lease, to be kept, performed and complied with
by the lessee therein.
(iii) Unless the Beneficiary shall otherwise expressly consent in
writing, the fee title to the Land, the Trustor's interest in the
improvements on the Land and the leasehold estate created by the Encumbered
Lease shall not merge and shall always remain separate
22
and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in the
lessor or in the lessee, or in a third party by purchase or otherwise. If
notwithstanding the foregoing a merger of such fee and leasehold estate
is deemed to have occurred, then this Deed of Trust shall nonetheless
remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and
shall encumber the entire merged fee and leasehold estate.
(iv) The Trustor will not appoint or consent to the appointment of an
arbitrator pursuant to any provision of the Encumbered Lease so providing
without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary, except to the extent
the Encumbered Lease shall provide for such appointment. The Trustor shall
promptly notify the Beneficiary in writing of any request made by the
Trustor, as lessee under the Encumbered Lease, or the lessor thereunder,
for arbitration proceedings pursuant to the Encumbered Lease and of the
institution of any arbitration proceedings, as well as all proceedings
thereunder. In addition, the Trustor shall promptly deliver to the
Beneficiary a copy of the determination of the arbitrators in each such
arbitration proceeding. The Beneficiary shall have the right to
participate with the Trustor or on its own behalf as an interested party in
accordance with the terms of the Encumbered Lease.
(v) The Trustor shall not consent to the subordination of the
Encumbered Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien on the fee
interest of the lessor under the Encumbered Lease.
(vi) If the Trustor acquires fee simple title or any other estate,
title or interest in the Land, the Trustor shall promptly notify the
Beneficiary of such acquisition and, upon receipt of a written request by
the Beneficiary, shall cause to be executed and recorded all such other and
further assurances or other instruments in writing as may in the opinion of
the Beneficiary be required or desirable to carry out the intent and
meaning of CLAUSE (III) above.
(vii) Within ten (10) days after the Trustor's receipt of any notice
of any motion, application or effort to reject the Encumbered Lease by the
lessor thereunder or any trustee arising from or in connection with any
case, proceeding or other action commenced or pending by or against such
lessor under the Bankruptcy
23
Code or any comparable provisions contained in any present or future
Federal, state, local, foreign or other statute, law, rule or regulation
("COMPARABLE PROVISIONS"), the Trustor shall give notice thereof to the
Beneficiary. The Trustor hereby (A) assigns to the Beneficiary any and
all of the Trustor's rights as lessee under Section 365(h) of the
Bankruptcy Code or any Comparable Provisions, and (B) covenants that it
shall not elect to treat the Encumbered Lease as terminated pursuant to
Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code without first obtaining the prior
written consent of the Beneficiary, and (C) agrees that any such election
by the Trustor without such consent shall be null and void.
(viii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustor
hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to the Beneficiary all of the
Trustor's claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any
rejection by the lessor under the Encumbered Lease under the Bankruptcy
Code or any Comparable Provision. The Beneficiary shall have the right to
proceed in its own name or in the name of the Trustor in respect of any
claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the
Encumbered Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and
prosecute, to the exclusion of the Trustor, any proofs of claim,
complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case
in respect of the lessor thereunder under the Bankruptcy Code or any
Comparable Provision. This assignment constitutes a present and
irrevocable assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and
shall continue in effect until all of the indebtedness shall have been
satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts received by the Beneficiary
in damages arising out of the rejection of the Encumbered Lease as
aforesaid shall be applied first to all reasonable costs and expenses of
the Beneficiary (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements), incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its
rights or remedies under this SECTION 1.19.
(ix) If there shall be filed by or against the Trustor a petition
under the Bankruptcy Code or any Comparable Provision and the Trustor, as
lessee under the Encumbered Lease, shall determine to reject the Encumbered
Lease, the Trustor shall give the Beneficiary not less than thirty (30)
days prior notice
24
of the date on which the Trustor shall apply to the United States
Bankruptcy Court or other judicial body with appropriate jurisdiction for
authority to reject the Encumbered Lease; the Beneficiary shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to serve upon the Trustor within such thirty
(30) day period a notice stating that (a) the Beneficiary demands that the
Trustor assume and assign the Encumbered Lease to the Beneficiary pursuant
to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any Comparable Provision and
(b) the Beneficiary covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of
prompt cure of all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future
performance under the Encumbered Lease. If the Beneficiary serves upon the
Trustor the notice described in the preceding sentence, the Trustor shall
not seek to reject the Encumbered Lease and shall comply with the demand
provided for in subclause (a) of the preceding clause within thirty (30)
days after the notice shall have been given subject to the performance by
the Beneficiary of the covenant provided for in subclause (b) of the
preceding clause. Effective upon the entry of an order for relief in
respect of the Trustor under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
Comparable Provision, the Trustor hereby assigns and transfers to the
Beneficiary a non-exclusive right to apply to the Bankruptcy Court or
other judicial body with appropriate jurisdiction for an order extending
the period during which the Encumbered Lease may be rejected or assumed.
(x) The Trustor shall promptly give to the Beneficiary copies of (A)
all notices of default or (B) any other communications or notices with
respect to events which relate to the likely impairment of the security of
this Deed of Trust which it shall give or receive under the Encumbered
Lease and shall promptly notify the Beneficiary of any default under the
Encumbered Lease on the part of the lessor or the Trustor thereunder.
(xi) The Trustor shall notify the Beneficiary within ten (10) business
days after the Trustor becomes aware of the transfer of the fee interest in
the Land or any portion thereof.
(c) The Trustor hereby represents and warrants that (i) to the best of its
knowledge, the Encumbered Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) all rent and
additional rent payable under the Encumbered Lease has been paid to the
25
extent they were due and payable to the date hereof, and (iii) it has not
received any written notices that any event of default has occurred under the
Encumbered Lease and has no knowledge that any event has occurred which, with
the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, would constitute an event
of default under the Encumbered Lease.
(d) The Trustor hereby acknowledges that if the Encumbered Lease shall be
terminated prior to the expiration of its term due to default by the lessee
thereunder, and if the Beneficiary or its designee shall acquire from the lessor
thereunder a new lease of the Real Estate or any portion thereof, the Trustor
shall have no right, title or interest in or to such lease or the leasehold
estate created thereby, or the options therein contained, if any.
(e) None of the rights and privileges granted to the Trustor hereunder or
under any other Loan Document is in any way intended to diminish or lessen the
Trustor's obligations under subparagraph (a) of this SECTION 1.19.
(f) Without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary, except as
hereafter provided, the Trustor will not exercise or waive any of the Special
Encumbered Lease Rights. Upon receipt of a reasonable and written request made
by the Beneficiary, the Trustor will exercise any or all of the Special
Encumbered Lease Rights. The Trustor hereby grants and assigns to the
Beneficiary the right to exercise at any time any or all of the Special
Encumbered Lease Rights by and on behalf of the Trustor and, upon request made
by the Beneficiary, the Trustor will promptly (and in any event within ten (10)
days after request) take such actions and execute such instruments as are
requested by the Beneficiary to evidence to any third party the Beneficiary's
rights to so exercise the Special Encumbered Lease Rights. Notwithstanding the
assignment of the Special Encumbered Lease Rights to the Beneficiary, the
Trustor shall retain the nonexclusive right to exercise, without the concurrence
of the Beneficiary, any of the Special Encumbered Lease Rights other than the
right to terminate the Encumbered Lease as a result of condemnation of the Land.
SECTION 1.20. SECURITY AGREEMENT. With respect to the items of personal
property and fixtures referred to and described in the Granting Clause of this
Deed of Trust and included as part of the Trust Premises, this Deed of Trust is
hereby made and declared to be a security agreement encumbering each and every
item of personal property and
26
fixtures now or hereafter owned by Trustor and included herein as a part of
the Trust Premises, in compliance with the provisions of the Uniform
Commercial Code as enacted in the State. In this respect (and
notwithstanding the conveyance to the Trustee rather than directly to the
Beneficiary as provided in this Deed of Trust), Trustor, as "Debtor",
expressly grants to Beneficiary, as "Secured Party", a security interest in
and to all of the property now or hereafter owned by Trustor which
constitutes the personal property and fixtures hereinabove referred to and
described in this Deed of Trust, including all extensions, accessions,
additions, improvements, betterments, renewals, replacements and
substitutions thereof or thereto, and all proceeds from the sale or other
disposition thereof. Trustor agrees that Beneficiary may file this Deed of
Trust, or a reproduction thereof, in the real estate records or other
appropriate index, as, and this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to be, a
financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with California
Uniform Commercial Code Section 9402. Any reproduction of this Deed of
Trust or of any other security agreement or financing statement shall be
sufficient as a financing statement. In addition, Trustor agrees to execute
and deliver to Beneficiary, upon Beneficiary's request, any other security
agreement and financing statements, as well as extensions, renewals, and
amendments thereof, and reproductions of this Deed of Trust, in such form as
Beneficiary may require to perfect a security interest with respect to said
items. Trustor shall pay all costs of filing such financing statements and
any extensions, renewals, amendments and releases thereof, and shall pay all
reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements
Beneficiary may reasonably require. Without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary, Trustor shall not create or suffer to be created pursuant to the
Uniform Commercial Code any other security interest in the above-described
personal property and fixtures, including any replacements and additions
thereto. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Deed of
Trust, or any other violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the
security agreement contained herein, the Beneficiary shall have and shall be
entitled to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies (i) as prescribed
in this Deed of Trust, or (ii) as prescribed by general law, or (iii) as
prescribed by the specific statutory provisions now or hereafter enacted and
specified in said Uniform Commercial Code, all at Beneficiary's sole
election. Trustor and Beneficiary agree that the filing of any financing
statements in the records normally having to do with personal property shall
not in any way affect the
27
agreement of Trustor and Beneficiary that everything located in, on or about,
or used or intended to be used with or in connection with the use, operation
or enjoyment of, the Trust Premises, which is described or reflected as a
fixture in this Deed of Trust, is, and at all times and for all purposes and
in all proceedings, both legal and equitable, shall be, regarded as part of
the Real Estate conveyed hereby. Trustor warrants that Trustor's name,
identity and address are as set forth herein. The mailing address of the
Beneficiary from which information may be obtained concerning the security
interest created herein is also set forth herein. This information hereof is
provided in order that this Deed of Trust shall comply with the requirements
of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State for instruments to be
filed as financing statements. In accordance with California Uniform
Commercial Code Section 9402, this Deed of Trust shall remain effective as a
fixture filing until this Deed of Trust is released or satisfied of record or
its effectiveness otherwise terminates as to the Trust Premises.
SECTION 1.21. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. In order to induce the
Beneficiary to enter into this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, the Trustor agrees that all of the representations and
warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement are incorporated into this Deed of
Trust by reference as if fully set forth herein.
SECTION 1.22. TRUSTOR'S COVENANTS. In order to induce the Beneficiary to
enter into this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, the Trustor agrees that all of the covenants set forth in the Credit
Agreement are incorporated into this Deed of Trust by reference as if fully set
forth.

set forth below: (a) insurance with respect to the Improvements against loss or
damage by fire, lightning and such other risks as are included in standard

Dollars ($20,000,000) per occurrence, (c) explosion insurance in respect of
any steam and pressure boilers and similar apparatus located in the Property

providing workers compensation insurance, in which case such insurers shall have
an A.M. Best policyholders rating of not less than B+) or (iii) by such other
insurers as the Beneficiary may approve in writing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if

SECTION 2.2. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR TAKING; TRUSTOR TO GIVE NOTICE;

(a) any damage to or destruction of the Trust Premises or any part

payable on account of such damage or destruction and to all awards or payments
allocable to the Trust Premises on account of such Taking and the Trustor hereby
irrevocably assigns, transfers and sets over to the Beneficiary all rights of
the Trustor to any such proceeds, awards or payments and irrevocably authorizes
and empowers the Beneficiary, at its option, in the name of the Trustor or
otherwise, to file and prosecute what would otherwise be the Trustor's claim for
any such proceeds, award or payment and
31
to collect, receipt for and retain the same for disposition in accordance
with SECTION 2.3. The Trustor will pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Trustee or the Beneficiary in connection with any such
damage, destruction or Taking and seeking and obtaining any insurance
proceeds, awards or payments in respect thereof.
SECTION 2.3. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS AND AWARDS. The Beneficiary may, at
its option, apply all amounts recovered under any insurance policy required to
be maintained by the Trustor hereunder and all awards received by it on account
of any Taking in any one or more of the following ways:
(a) to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
the Trustee, or the Beneficiary, in obtaining any such insurance proceeds
or awards, including the fees and expenses of attorneys and insurance and
other experts and consultants, the costs of litigation, arbitration,
mediation, investigations and other judicial, administrative or other
proceedings and all other out-of-pocket expenses;
(b) to the payment of the principal of the Credit Extensions and any
interest (including post-petition interest payable in any proceedings for
bankruptcy under applicable law ("POST PETITION INTEREST") to the extent
such interest is a Secured Obligation) accrued and unpaid thereon, without
regard to whether any portion or all of such amounts shall be matured or
unmatured, together with interest at the rate provided for in the Credit
Agreement on any overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) interest; and, in case such amount shall be insufficient to
pay in full all such amounts, then such amount shall be applied, FIRST, to
the payment of all amounts of interest (including Post-Petition Interest to
the extent such interest is a Secured Obligation) accrued on the Credit
Extensions and unpaid, SECOND, to the payment of all amounts of principal
at the time outstanding;
(c) to the payment of, or the application to, any Secured Obligation
(other than as provided in clause (b) above);

determine in its sole discretion;
32
(e) to the Trustor for application to the cost of restoring the Trust
Premises and the replacement of Goods destroyed, damaged or taken; or
(f) to the Trustor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 2.3 to the
contrary (but subject to the provisions of SECTION 2.4), and if each of the
following conditions is satisfied, the Beneficiary, upon request of the Trustor,
shall apply insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received by it to the
restoration or replacement of the Trust Premises, to the extent necessary for
the restoration or replacement thereof:
(i) there shall then exist no uncured Default of which Trustor
has received notice thereof;
(ii) the Trustor shall furnish to the Beneficiary a certificate
of an architect or engineer reasonably acceptable to the Beneficiary
stating (x) that the Trust Premises is capable of being restored,
prior to the maturity of the Credit Agreement, to substantially the
same condition as existed prior to the casualty or Taking, (y) the
aggregate estimated direct and indirect costs of such restoration and
(z) as to any Taking, that the property taken in such Taking, or sold
under threat thereof, is not necessary to the Trustor's customary use
or occupancy of the Property; and
(iii) in the event that the estimated cost of restoration set
forth in the certificate of such architect or engineer (and such
revisions to such estimate as are from time to time made) exceeds the
net insurance proceeds or condemnation awards actually received from
time to time, the Trustor shall deposit the amount of such excess with
the Beneficiary.
In the event that such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are to be
utilized in the restoration of the Trust Premises, the Beneficiary shall
disburse such Proceeds and the additional amounts deposited by the Trustor for
such restoration after receipt of a written request for disbursement, on not
fewer than five (5) nor more than twelve (12) Business Days notice and, to the
extent
33
applicable, in accordance with customary construction loan procedures and
conditions. In the event that such insurance or condemnation awards are to
be utilized to replace the Trust Premises so destroyed or taken, the
Beneficiary shall disburse such Proceeds after receipt of a written request
for disbursement, on not fewer than five (5) Business Days nor more than
twelve (12) Business Days notice simultaneously with the acquisition of such
replacement property by the Trustor. In the event that, after the
restoration or replacement of the Trust Premises, any insurance or
condemnation awards shall remain, such amount shall be paid to the Trustor.
Insurance proceeds and condemnation awards shall be invested in the manner
reasonably requested by the Trustor and approved by the Beneficiary, and all
interest earned thereon shall be applied as provided in this SECTION 2.3.
If, prior to the receipt by the Beneficiary of such insurance proceeds or
condemnation awards, the Trust Premises shall have been sold on foreclosure,
the Beneficiary shall have the right to receive said insurance proceeds or
condemnation awards to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such
sale, with legal interest thereon, whether or not a deficiency judgment shall
have been sought or recovered or denied, and the reasonable attorneys' fees,
costs and disbursements incurred by the Beneficiary in connection with the
collection of such award or payment.
SECTION 2.4 TOTAL TAKING AND TOTAL DESTRUCTION. In the event of a Total
Destruction or a Total Taking, the Beneficiary shall apply all amounts recovered
under any insurance policy referred to in SECTION 2.1.1 and all awards received
by it on account of any such Taking as follows:
(a) first, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Beneficiary in obtaining any such insurance proceeds or
awards, including the fees and expenses of attorneys and insurance and
other experts and consultants, the costs of litigation, arbitration,
mediation, investigations and other judicial, administrative or other
proceedings and all other out-of-pocket expenses;
(b) second, to the payment of the principal of the Credit Extensions
and any interest (including Post-Petition Interest to the extent such
interest is a Secured Obligation) accrued and unpaid thereon, without
regard to whether any portion or all of such amounts shall be matured or
unmatured, together with interest at the rate provided for in the Credit
Agreement on any
34
overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest;
and, in case such amount shall be insufficient to pay in full all such
amounts, then such amount shall be applied, FIRST, to the payment of all
amounts of interest (including Post-Petition Interest to the extent such
interest is a Secured Obligation) accrued on the Credit Extensions and
unpaid, and SECOND, to the payment of all amounts of principal at the
time outstanding;
(c) third, to the payment of, or the application to, any Secured
Obligation (other than as provided in CLAUSE (B) above);

the Beneficiary may determine; and
(e) fifth, the balance, if any, to the Trustor.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES, ETC.
SECTION 3.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. If an "Event of Default"
(pursuant to and as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall have occurred, then
and in any such event the Beneficiary may at any time thereafter (unless all
Events of Default shall theretofore have been remedied and all costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses incurred
by or on behalf of the Beneficiary, shall have been paid in full by the Trustor)
declare, by written notice to the Trustor, the Loans and all other Secured
Obligations to be due and payable immediately or on a date specified in such
notice, (provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in
Section 10.1.9. of the Credit Agreement, the Loans and all other Secured
Obligations shall automatically become due and payable), and on such date the
same shall be and become due and payable, together with interest accrued
thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which the
Trustor hereby waives. The Trustor will pay on demand all costs and expenses,
including without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by or on
behalf of the Beneficiary in enforcing this Deed of Trust, or any other Loan
Document, or occasioned by any default hereunder or thereunder.
35
SECTION 3.2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS; FORECLOSURE. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred, the Trustee at any time may, at its election, proceed at law or
in equity or otherwise to enforce the payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and to foreclose the
lien of this Deed of Trust as against all or any part of the Trust Premises and
to have the same sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover in such proceedings
all costs incident thereto, including the Trustee's fees and attorneys' fees and
expenses in such amounts as may be fixed by the court.
SECTION 3.3. POWER OF SALE. If an Event of Default shall have occurred,
the Trustee may grant, bargain, sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver the
whole or, from time to time, any part of the Trust Premises, or any interest in
any part thereof, at any private sale or at public auction, with or without
demand, advertisement or notice, for cash, on credit or for other property, for
immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as
the Trustee in its uncontrolled discretion may determine, or as may be required
by law, and upon such sale the Trustee may execute and deliver to the
purchaser(s) instruments of conveyance pursuant to the terms hereof and to
applicable laws. Without limiting the authority granted in this SECTION 3.3,
the Trustee shall, without demand on the Trustor, after the lapse of such time
as may then be required by law, and notice of default and notice of sale having
been given as then required by law, sell the Trust Premises on the date and at
the time and place designated in the notice of sale, either as a whole or in
separate parcels and in such order as the Trustee may determine, but subject to
any statutory right of the Trustor to direct the order in which such property,
if consisting of several known lots, parcels or interests, shall be sold, at
public auction to the highest bidder, the purchase price payable in lawful money
of the United States at the time of sale. The Person conducting the sale may,
for any cause deemed expedient, postpone the sale from time to time until it
shall be completed and, in every such case, notice of postponement shall be
given by public declaration thereof by such Person at the time and place last
appointed for the sale. The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser
at any such sale a trustee's deed conveying the property so sold, but without
any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such trustee's
deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness
thereof. Any Person, including the Trustee or Beneficiary, may bid at the
36
sale. The Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale, to the extent
consistent with this Deed of Trust, to the payment of (a) the costs and
expenses of exercising the power of sale and of the sale, including the
payment of attorneys' fees and costs, (b) the cost of any evidence of title
procured in connection with such sale, (c) all sums expended under the terms
hereof in conjunction with any default provision hereof, not then repaid,
with accrued interest at the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement from
the date of incurrence, (d) outstanding principal and interest under the
Credit Agreement, (e) all Secured Obligations (other than as provided in
clause (d) above). The Trustee shall give the remainder, if any, of the
proceeds of the sale to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, or
the Trustee, in the Trustee's discretion, may deposit the balance of such
proceeds with any court or public official authorized to receive such
proceeds.
SECTION 3.4. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE REMEDIES. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred, the Beneficiary may exercise from time to time and at any
time any rights and remedies available to it under applicable law upon default
in the payment of indebtedness, including, without limitation, any right or
remedy available to it as a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of
the State. The Trustor shall, promptly upon request by the Trustee or the
Beneficiary, assemble the Trust Premises, or any portion thereof generally
described in such request, and make it available to the Trustee or the
Beneficiary, at such place or places designated by the Trustee or the
Beneficiary, and reasonably convenient to the Trustee or the Beneficiary. If
the Beneficiary elects to proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State
to dispose of portions of the Trust Premises, the Trustee or the Beneficiary, at
their respective option, may give the Trustor notice of the time and place of
any public sale of any such property, or of the date after which any private
sale or other disposition thereof is to be made, by sending notice by registered
or certified first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trustor at least ten (10)
days before the time of the sale or other disposition. If any notice of any
proposed sale, assignment or transfer by the Beneficiary of any portion of the
Trust Premises or any interest therein is required by law, the Trustor
conclusively agrees that ten (10) days notice to the Trustor of the date, time
and place (and, in the case of a private sale, the terms) thereof is reasonable.
37
SECTION 3.5. TRUSTEE AND BENEFICIARY AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE DEEDS, ETC.

purchased, free of the security interest and lien of this Deed of Trust and free
of all rights of redemption in the Trustor.
SECTION 3.7. RECEIPT A SUFFICIENT DISCHARGE TO PURCHASER. Upon any sale
of the Trust Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether
pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, the receipt of the Trustee

discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and such purchaser shall not
be obliged to see to the application thereof.
SECTION 3.8. WAIVER OF APPRAISEMENT, VALUATION, ETC. The Trustor hereby
waives, to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all

Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein.
SECTION 3.9. SALE A BAR AGAINST TRUSTOR. Any sale of the Trust Premises

Deed of Trust or by virtue of any other remedy available at law or in equity
or by statute or otherwise, at the option of the Trustee or the Beneficiary

payable, together with interest accrued thereon, and all other indebtedness
which this Deed of Trust by its terms secures.
SECTION 3.11. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE AND OTHER MONEYS. The

therein under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust, whether pursuant to power of

such order of priority as the Beneficiary shall determine in its sole and
absolute discretion including, without limitation, as follows:

appeal, be paid to or upon the direction of the Trustor.
SECTION 3.12. APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred, the Beneficiary shall, as a matter of right, without notice, and

Beneficiary shall be applied to pay all costs and expenses of so entering
upon, taking possession of, holding, operating, maintaining, repairing,
preserving and managing the Trust Premises or any part thereof, and any
Impositions or other charges prior to the lien and security interest of this
Deed of Trust which the Trustee or the Beneficiary may consider it necessary

act required to be made or performed hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or
any other Loan Document, the Beneficiary, subject to twenty (20) days' prior
written notice to the Trustor (except that no prior notice shall be required in
the case of an emergency or where the failure to make such payment or perform
such obligation could affect the priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust)
without waiving or releasing any obligation or Default, may (but shall be under
no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act
for the account and at the expense of the Trustor, and may enter upon the Trust
Premises for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in either the
Trustee's or the Beneficiary's opinion, may be necessary or appropriate
therefor. No such entry and no such action shall be deemed an eviction of any
lessee of the Property or any part thereof. All sums so paid by the Trustee or

attorneys' fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest thereon at the
rate provided for in Section 5.2.2. of the Credit Agreement from the date of

pays any such sum with the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Credit
Agreement, the Trustee and/or the Beneficiary shall have and be entitled to a
lien on the Trust Premises equal in priority to the lien
41
discharged, and the Trustee and/or the Beneficiary shall be subrogated to,

the Trustee and/or the Beneficiary provided for in this Deed of Trust, the

and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in
this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Trustee or the Beneficiary of any
one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Deed of
Trust, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise by the Trustee or the Beneficiary of any or all
such other rights, powers or remedies.
SECTION 3.17. PROVISIONS SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW. All rights, powers
and remedies provided in this Deed of Trust may be exercised only to the extent
that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and
are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render
this Deed of Trust invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded,
registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of
this Deed of Trust or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable,
the remainder of this Deed of Trust and any other application of such term shall
not be affected thereby.

Beneficiary to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or of the
Credit Agreement, or of any other Loan Document, or to exercise any right, power
or remedy consequent upon a breach hereof or thereof, shall constitute a waiver
of any such term or of any such breach. No waiver of any breach shall affect or
alter this Deed of Trust, which shall continue in full force and effect with
respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach. By accepting payment
or performance of any amount or other Secured Obligations secured hereby before
or after its due date, neither the Trustee nor the Beneficiary shall
42
be deemed to have waived its right either to require prompt payment or
performance when due of all other amounts and Secured Obligations payable
hereunder or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment.
SECTION 3.19. COMPROMISE OF ACTIONS, ETC. Any action, suit or proceeding
brought by the Trustee or the Beneficiary pursuant to any of the terms of this
Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or otherwise, and

PRIOR TO DEFAULT; WHEN ACTING UNDER DIRECTION OF BENEFICIARY. If an Event of

the Trustee, or if the Trustee shall have received notice thereof from the

such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Deed of Trust, and in so
doing shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his

failure to act, or own willful misconduct, except that,

continuing,

continuing, the Trustee shall not exercise any of the powers granted to it
hereunder unless and until specifically requested to do so by the

the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

56
necessity of any conveyance from the Trustee originally herein named or any
successor. Each such substitution shall be executed and acknowledged, and
notice thereof shall be given and proof thereof made in accordance with
applicable law. The Trustor agrees to accept and confirm any such
successor Trustee hereunder by executing and delivering a supplemental Deed
of Trust and security agreement or any other appropriate agreement.
SECTION 5.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. (A) EACH
OF THE TRUSTOR, THE TRUSTEE AND THE BENEFICIARY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY
AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF
ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
DEED OF TRUST, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED
INSTRUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER
ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF THE TRUSTOR, THE TRUSTEE, OR THE BENEFICIARY.
THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE TRUSTEE AND THE BENEFICIARY AND
THE LENDERS TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT
AND TO MAKE THE CREDIT EXTENSIONS.
(b) FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVING THIS DEED OF
TRUST, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TRUSTOR HEREBY
EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ALL
FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE AND CONSENTS THAT IT MAY BE SERVED
WITH ANY PROCESS OR PAPER BY REGISTERED MAIL OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR
WITHOUT THE STATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW, PROVIDED A REASONABLE TIME
FOR APPEARANCE IS ALLOWED. THE TRUSTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT IT MAY
LAWFULLY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION, CLAIM OR DEFENSE WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO
THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS DEED
OF TRUST, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY SUCH COURT,
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN
ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH CLAIM, SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION
OVER THE PERSON OF THE TRUSTOR. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN WILL BE DEEMED TO
PRECLUDE EITHER OF THE TRUSTEE OR THE BENEFICIARY FROM BRINGING AN ACTION
AGAINST THE TRUSTOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
57
SECTION 5.13. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Deed of Trust, the
Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall as to such provision and such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Deed of
Trust, the Credit Agreement, or such Loan Document or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 5.14. LOAN DOCUMENT. This Deed of Trust is a Loan Document
executed pursuant to the Credit Agreement and, unless otherwise expressly
indicated herein, shall be construed, administered and applied in accordance
with the terms and provisions thereof.
SECTION 5.15. USURY SAVINGS CLAUSE. It is the intention of the Trustor,
the Trustee and the Beneficiary to conform strictly to the usury laws governing
the Loan Documents, and any interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be
subject to reduction to the amount not in excess of the maximum non-usurious
amount allowed under such laws, as construed by the courts having jurisdiction
over such matters. In the event the maturity of the Secured Obligations is
accelerated by reason of any provision of the Loan Documents, or by reason of an
election by the Beneficiary resulting from an Event of Default, then interest
may never include more than the maximum amount permitted by law, computed from
the dates of each advance of loan proceeds under the Credit Agreement until
payment, and any interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law shall
be canceled automatically or, if theretofore paid, at the option of the
Beneficiary, shall be rebated to the Trustor, or shall be credited on the
principal amount of the Secured Obligations or, if all principal has been
repaid, then the excess shall be rebated to the Trustor. If any interest is
canceled, credited against principal or rebated to the Trustor in accordance
with the foregoing sentence and, if thereafter the interest payable hereunder is
less than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, the rate hereunder
shall automatically be increased to the maximum extent possible to permit
repayment to the Beneficiary and the Lenders as soon as possible of any interest
in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law which was earlier canceled,
credited against principal or rebated to the Trustor or the Beneficiary pursuant
to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.
58
SECTION 5.16. FUTURE ADVANCES. This Deed of Trust secures "future
advances" under California law. Any and all future advances under this Deed of
Trust and the Loan Documents shall have the same priority as if the future
advance was made on the date that this Deed of Trust was recorded. This Deed of
Trust shall secure the Secured Obligations, whenever incurred, such Secured
Obligations to be due at the times provided in the Loan Documents. Notice is
hereby given that the Secured Obligations may INCREASE as a result of any
defaults hereunder by Trustor due to, for example, and without limitation,
unpaid interest or late charges, unpaid taxes or insurance premiums which the
Beneficiary elects to advance, defaults under leases that the Beneficiary elects
to cure, attorney fees or costs incurred in enforcing the Loan Documents or
other expenses incurred by the Beneficiary in protecting the Trust Premises, the
security of this Deed of Trust or the Beneficiary's rights and interests.
SECTION 5.17. SPECIAL PROVISIONS MODIFYING OR AFFECTING THIS DEED OF TRUST
BY REASON OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE LAND IS LOCATED. By virtue of the fact that
the said real estate is located in the State of California, the provisions set
forth below shall be applicable to this Deed of Trust, and to the extent
applicable, shall modify, affect and supplement the other provisions hereof.
(a) Foreclosure by Power of Sale. Should Beneficiary elect to foreclose
by exercise of the power of sale herein contained, Beneficiary shall notify
Trustee and shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust and such receipts and
evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as Trustee may require.
(i) Upon receipt of such notice from Beneficiary, Trustee shall cause
to be recorded, mailed or delivered to Trustor such notice of default and
election to sell as is then required by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee
shall, without demand on Trustor, after lapse of such time as may then be
required by law and after recordation of such notice of default and after notice
of sale has been given as required by law, sell the Property at time and place
of sale fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole, or in separate
lots or parcels or items as Trustee 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. Trustee shall deliver
to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its
60
good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without
any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of
any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.
Any person, including without limitation Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may
purchase at such sale and Trustor hereby covenants to warrant and defend the
title of such purchaser or purchasers. If allowed by law, Beneficiary, if it
is the purchaser, may credit bid the outstanding amount of the indebtedness
secured hereby toward payment of the purchase price. Trustor hereby
expressly waives any right of redemption after sale that Trustor may have at
the time of sale or that may apply to the sale.
(ii) After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of
this Deed of Trust, including costs of evidence of title in connection with sale
and reasonable Trustee's and attorneys' fees for conducting the sale, Trustee
shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of all sums expended under the terms
hereof and not then repaid (with accrued interest at the U.S. Alternate Base
Rate from time to time in effect plus 2 1/2%), and to all other sums then
secured hereby in accordance with the Loan Documents, and the remainder, if any,
to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
(iii) Trustee may 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 at the time fixed by
the preceding postponement or by subsequently noticed sale, and without further
notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement; or Trustee
may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale. Beneficiary may rescind any
such notice of default at any time before Trustee's sale by executing a notice
of rescission and recording the same. The recordation of such notice shall
constitute a cancellation of any prior declaration of default and demand for
sale and of any acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness secured hereby
effected by any prior declaration or notice of default. The exercise by
Beneficiary of the right of rescission shall not constitute a waiver of any
default and demand for sale, or notices of default and of election to cause the
said real estate to be sold, nor otherwise affect any of the Loan Documents or
this Deed of Trust, or any of the rights, obligations or remedies of Beneficiary
or Trustee hereunder.
60
(b) Full Reconveyance. Upon written request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ stating that
all sums secured hereby have been paid, and upon surrender of this Deed of Trust
to Trustee for cancellation and retention and upon payment by Trustor of
Trustee's fees, Trustee shall reconvey to Trustor, or the person or persons
legally entitled thereto, without warranty, any portion of the Property 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) Trustee. The following provisions apply to Trustee:
(i) Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of Trust, duly executed
and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law, and by its
acceptance hereof, Trustee covenants faithfully to perform and fulfill the
trusts herein created, being liable, however, only for willful negligence or
misconduct, and Trustee hereby waives any statutory fee and agrees to accept
reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services rendered by it in
accordance with the terms hereof.
(ii) At any time and from time to time, without liability therefor and
without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary, Trustee shall (1) consent
in writing to the making of any map or plat of the said real estate, (2) join in
granting any easement thereon, (3) join in any extension agreement or any
agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.
(iii) Trustee may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days'
notice in writing to Trustor and to Beneficiary.
(iv) Beneficiary may, from time to time, by written instrument
executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary, mailed to Trustor and recorded in the
county in which the said real estate is located, and by otherwise complying with
the provisions of the applicable law of the State of California, substitute a
successor or successors to the person or persons then named herein or acting
hereunder as Trustee.
(d) Beneficiary Statements. Trustor agrees to pay Beneficiary for each
statement of Beneficiary as to the Secured Obligations secured hereby, furnished
at Trustor's
61
request, the maximum fee allowed by law, or if there be no maximum
fee, then such reasonable fee as is charged by Beneficiary as of the time said
statement is furnished. Trustor further agrees to pay the charges of
Beneficiary for any other service rendered Trustor, or on its behalf, in
connection with this Deed of Trust or the Secured Obligations secured hereby,
including without limitation the delivery to an escrow holder of a request for
full or partial reconveyance of this Deed of Trust, transmitting records
pertaining to this Deed of Trust and the Secured Obligations secured hereby to
show a new owner of the said real estate, and replacing an existing policy of
insurance held hereunder with another such policy.
(e) Actions Affecting the Trust Premises. Trustor, at Trustor's expense,
shall appear in and contest any action or proceeding purporting to affect the
Trust Premises or the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or
Trustee. Trustor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary or
Trustee, including the cost of evidence of title and attorneys' fees, in any
such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear.
(f) Insurance Losses and Proceeds. In the event of loss, Trustor shall
give immediate written notice to the insurance carrier and Beneficiary. Trustor
hereby authorizes and empowers Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option and in
Beneficiary's sole discretion as attorney-in-fact for Trustor, to pay premiums,
to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance
policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance
policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom
Beneficiary's expenses in the collection of such proceeds. Trustor further
authorizes Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option (1) to hold the balance of such
proceeds to be used for the cost of reconstruction, restoration or repair
(hereinafter in this subsection referred to as "reconstruction") of the said
real estate, or (2) to apply the balance of such proceeds to the payment of the
sums secured by this Deed of Trust, whether or not then due; provided, however,
that Beneficiary shall hold the balance of any proceeds actually received by
Beneficiary and make such proceeds available to Trustor for the costs of
reconstruction of the said real estate if all of the following conditions are
satisfied within sixty (60) days from the date of the damage or destruction:
62
(i) Trustor is not in default hereunder and no event has occurred and
no fact exists which with notice and/or lapse of time would constitute an Event
of Default.
(ii) Trustor satisfies Beneficiary that after the reconstruction is
completed, the value of the Trust Premises, as determined by Beneficiary in its
reasonable discretion, will be not less than the value of the Property
(including land and improvements) determined by Beneficiary at the time of the
recording of this Deed of Trust.
(iii) Beneficiary has been given satisfactory proof that expenditure
of such proceeds (and, where applicable, the additional funds referred to in
clause (iv) below) will fully restore the Improvements free and clear of all
liens other than this Deed of Trust and any other liens or encumbrances
permitted by Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust.
(iv) If such proceeds shall be insufficient to restore or rebuild the
Improvements, Trustor shall have deposited with Beneficiary funds which,
together with such insurance proceeds, shall be sufficient to complete the
reconstruction of the Improvements.
(v) Trustor has delivered to Beneficiary the plans and specifications
and a construction contract for the work of reconstruction in form and content
acceptable to Beneficiary with an architect and a contractor acceptable to
Beneficiary.
(vi) If Trustor shall fail within a reasonable time, subject to delays
beyond its control, to complete reconstruction of the Improvements, then
Beneficiary, at its option, may complete such reconstruction for or on behalf of
Trustor, and for such purpose Beneficiary may do all necessary acts.
(vii) Such damage or destruction has not resulted in an impairment of
the security interest created by this Deed of Trust that will continue after the
completion of reconstruction or, if there is such an impairment of the security
interest created hereunder, said insurance proceeds shall be applied towards the
Secured Obligations and any other sums secured hereby to the extent of the
impairment of the security interest created hereunder.
(viii) If the insurance proceeds are held by Beneficiary to be used to
reimburse Trustor for the cost of
63
reconstruction of the said real estate, then (1) the said real estate shall
be promptly and diligently restored by Trustor to the equivalent of its
condition immediately prior to the casualty in accordance with the original
plans and specifications or to such other condition as Beneficiary may
approve in writing, (2) disbursements of such insurance proceeds shall be in
accordance with disbursement procedures acceptable to Beneficiary, and (3)
any proceeds actually received by Beneficiary and not required to reconstruct
the said real estate or satisfy the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (i)
through (viii) of this subsection shall be applied towards the Secured
Obligations secured hereby. Beneficiary may commingle any such award or
settlement held by it with its other general funds. Beneficiary shall not be
obligated to pay interest in respect of any such award or settlement held by
it nor shall Trustor be entitled to a credit against any of the Secured
Obligations, except and to the extent the award or settlement are applied
thereto pursuant to this subsection. Without limitation of the foregoing,
Beneficiary shall have the right at all times to apply such insurance
proceeds to the cure of any Event of Default or the performance of any
obligations of Trustor under the Loan Documents.
(ix) If the insurance proceeds are applied to the payment of the
Secured Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, any such application shall be
in such order as set forth in SECTION 3.11 of this Deed of Trust and shall
constitute a voluntary prepayment subject to any prepayment premiums or fees
provided in any of the other Loan Documents. Beneficiary may apply such
insurance proceeds to such prepayment premiums or fees. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to excuse Trustor from repairing or maintaining the
said real estate as provided herein or restoring all damage or destruction to
the said real estate, regardless of whether or not there are insurance proceeds
available to Trustor or whether any such proceeds are sufficient in amount, and
the application or release by Beneficiary of any insurance proceeds shall not
cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Deed of Trust or
invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
(g) Copies of Notices. Trustor hereby requests that a copy of any notice
of default and any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to it at the address set
forth on the first page of this Deed of Trust.
64
(h) CCP Section 736. Beneficiary shall have all of the rights, privileges
and remedies of a secured lender under California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 736.
(i) Attorneys' Fees. If any Event of Default occurs, Trustor shall pay
all costs of enforcement and collection, including but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys' fees, whether or not such enforcement and collection
includes the filing of a lawsuit. As used in this Deed of Trust and in the
other Loan Documents, the term "attorneys' fees" or "attorneys' fees and costs"
shall mean the fees and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may
include printing, photostating, duplicating and other expenses, air freight
charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals, librarians and others not
admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an
attorney. The terms "attorneys' fees" or "attorneys' fees and costs" shall also
include, without limitation, all such fees and expenses incurred with respect to
appeals, arbitrations, bankruptcy proceedings and any post-judgment proceedings
to collect any judgment, and whether or not any action or proceeding is brought
with respect to the matter for which said fees and expenses were incurred. The
provisions allowing for the recovery of post-judgment fees, costs and expenses
are separate and several and shall survive the merger of the applicable Loan
Document into any judgment.
(j) This Deed of Trust is both a real property lien and also a "security
agreement" and a "financing statement" within the meaning of the State Uniform
Commercial Code. The Trust Premises includes both real and personal property
and all of Trustor's other right, title and interest, whether tangible or
intangible, in the Trust Premises. By executing and delivering this Deed of
Trust, Trustor grants to Trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary, as security for
the Secured Obligations secured hereby, a security interest in the Trust
Premises to the full extent that any of the Trust Premises may be subject to the
State Uniform Commercial Code. Notwithstanding the grant of such security
interest to Trustee, the beneficial owner and holder of such security interest
is Beneficiary, Beneficiary will be deemed the "secured party" with respect to
such security interest for all purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code and will
be so identified on all financing statements filed in connection therewith, and
Beneficiary shall be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of Default to
exercise all the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code
as well as all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
65
(k) Accommodation Provisions. Insofar as this Deed of Trust secures
obligations (the "OTHER OBLIGATIONS") of other Obligors other than Trustor (the
"OTHER PARTIES") in favor of Beneficiary, Trustor has executed and delivered
this Deed of Trust as an accommodation instrument with the intent of subjecting
its interests in the Property to the lien of this Deed of Trust as security for
the Other Obligations and in order to induce Beneficiary to enter into the Loan
Documents. Trustor hereby agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, not
to assert or take advantage of:
(i) Any right to require Beneficiary to proceed against the Other Parties
or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any other security held by
Beneficiary at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Beneficiary's power
before exercising any right or remedy under this Deed of Trust.
(ii) Any defense that may arise by reason of:
(a) Beneficiary's failure to proceed against the Other Parties'
property, or any other party against whom Beneficiary might assert a claim,
before proceeding against Trustor under this Deed of Trust; or
(b) The release, suspension, discharge or impairment of any of
Beneficiary's rights against the Other Parties or any other party against
whom Beneficiary might assert a claim, whether such release, suspension,
discharge or impairment is explicit, tacit or inadvertent; or
(c) Beneficiary's failure to pursue any other remedies available
to Beneficiary that would reduce the burden of the indebtedness secured
hereby on Trustor's interests in the Property; or
(d) Any extension of the time for the payment or performance of
any of the Other Obligations or this Deed of Trust; or
(e) Any amendment of this Deed of Trust or the Other
Obligations, whether or not such amendment materially affects the risk that
Trustor has assumed by executing this Deed of Trust; or
(f) The incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of
the Other Parties or any other person or persons; or
66
(g) The failure of Beneficiary to file or enforce a claim
against the estate (in either administration, bankruptcy or any other
proceedings) of the Other Parties or any other person or persons.
(iii) Demand, protest and notice of any kind, including, without
limitation, the following notices:
(a) Notice of the evidence, creation or incurring of any new or
additional indebtedness or obligation (provided that such indebtedness or
obligation is not secured by this Deed of Trust); or
(b) Notice of any action or non-action on the part of the Other
Parties or Beneficiary in connection with any obligation or evidence of
indebtedness held by Beneficiary as collateral; or
(c) Notice of payment or non-payment by the Other Parties of the
indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust.
(iv) Any right to assert against the Beneficiary any defense arising by
reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the
Beneficiary to foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of the
power of sale, under any other deed of trust securing the Other Obligations,
which in any manner impairs, reduces, releases, destroys or extinguishes
Trustor's subrogation rights, rights to proceed against the Other Parties for
reimbursement, or any other rights of Trustor to proceed against any other
person or security. Trustor waives all rights and defenses to enforcement of
all or any part of the indebtedness secured hereby which defenses are based on
an election of remedies by Beneficiary, even though the election of remedies,
such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any
such other deed of trust, will destroy Trustor's rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against the Other Parties by operation of Section 580d of the
California Code of Civil Procedure. This means, among other things:
(a) The Beneficiary may collect from the Trustor without first
foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the
Other Parties.
(b) If the Beneficiary forecloses on any real property
collateral pledged by the Other Parties:
67
(c) The amount of the debt 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.
(ii) The Beneficiary may collect from the Trustor even if the
Beneficiary, by foreclosing on the other real property collateral, has
destroyed any right the Trustor may have to collect from the Other
Parties.
This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the
Trustor may have because the debtor's debt is secured by real property. These
rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses
based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure.
(v) Any rights arising because of Trustor's payment or satisfaction
of the indebtedness secured hereby (i) against the Other Parties, by way of
subrogation to the rights of Beneficiary or otherwise, or (ii) against any other
guarantor or any Other Party obligated to pay any of the indebtedness secured
hereby, by way of contribution or reimbursement or otherwise.
(vi) Any duty on the part of Beneficiary to disclose to Trustor any
default under the Other Obligations.
(vii) Any duty on the part of Beneficiary to disclose to Trustor any
facts Beneficiary may now know or may hereafter know about the Other Parties or
any successors in interest (if any) regardless of whether Beneficiary (i) has
reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond the
risk which Trustor intends to assume by executing this Deed of Trust, (ii) has
reason to believe that these facts are unknown to Trustor, or (iii) has a
reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Trustor, it being understood
and agreed that Trustor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of
the financial condition of the Other Parties or any successor in interest of the
Other Parties and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any
indebtedness of the Other Parties to Beneficiary that is secured hereby.
(viii) Any right to object to the release of any portions of the
Property from the lien of this Deed of Trust notwithstanding the fact that such
releases may be made
68
without Beneficiary's having received any or adequate consideration therefor.
Trustor further agrees that with respect to any Secured Obligation secured
hereby Beneficiary may, in such manner and upon such terms and at such times as
Beneficiary deems best and without demand or notice to or consent of Trustor (i)
release any party now or hereafter liable for the performance of any such
Secured Obligation, (ii) extend the time for the performance of any such Secured
Obligation, (iii) accept additional security therefor, and (iv) alter,
substitute or release any property securing such performance.
Before executing this Deed of Trust, Trustor has made such independent
legal and factual inquiries and investigations as Trustor deemed necessary or
desirable with respect to the ability of the Other Parties to honor all of the
Other Parties' covenants and agreements with Beneficiary, and Trustor has relied
solely on said independent inquiries and investigations preparatory to entering
into this Deed of Trust.
(l) Controlling Provisions. In the event of any conflict between
Section 5.17 and any other provisions of this Deed of Trust, the provisions of
this Section 5.17 shall control.
69
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustor has caused this Deed of Trust to be duly
executed as of the day and year first above written.
