THE LOANS
2.1 Commitment to Make the Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Bank shall severally make
Advances to the Borrower prior to the Revolving Maturity Date in proportion to
their respective Pro Rata Shares and the Issuing Bank shall issue Letters of
Credit in accordance with Section 2.4, all in such amounts as the Borrower may
request that do not exceed in the aggregate at any one time outstanding the Loan
Availability; provided, that no more than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in
Letter of Credit Obligations may be outstanding at any time. Each Advance shall
be in a principal amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (except
that any such Advance may be in an amount equal to the unused aggregate Loan
Availability), and shall be made in increments in excess thereof of no less than
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000); provided, however, that the foregoing
clause shall not apply to Advances made pursuant to Section 2.4(d) hereof.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, at no time
may the aggregate outstanding Advances under this Agreement plus the aggregate
outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations at such time exceed the
Loan Availability at such time. Within the limits and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrower may
borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under this Agreement; provided, however, that
the Borrower shall not be permitted to borrow or reborrow any additional amounts
following the Term-out Commencement Date. Except as provided in Section 2.21, in
the event that at any time and for any reason, the outstanding principal balance
of Advances together with the amount of outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations
exceeds the Loan Availability, Borrower shall immediately and without demand pay
to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks ratably the amount of such difference;
provided, that if the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances
together with the amount of outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the
Loan Availability by reason of reappraisal and determination of new Collateral
Values pursuant to Section 2.21, such obligation to pay shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 2.21.
2.2 Procedure for Borrowing
(a) Request for Advance. Prior to the Term-out Commencement
Date, the Borrower may request an Advance under the Loan Availability from time
to time on any Banking Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date by giving
irrevocable notice to the Agent in the form of the Request for Advance, Letter
of Credit or Conversion/Continuation of a Loan specifying:
(i) whether the requested Advance is to be a Reference Rate
Loan or a LIBO Rate Loan;
(ii) the principal amount of the requested Advance;
18
19
(iii) the date the requested Advance is to be made, which
shall be a Banking Day; and
(iv) if the requested Advance is to be a LIBO Rate Loan, the
initial Interest Period selected by the Borrower for such LIBO Rate Loan,
provided that no Interest Period shall be selected if it would extend past the
Revolving Maturity Date.
(b) Timing of Request. The Borrower shall give such notice to
the Agent no later than 9:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on the first Banking Day
before the date of the requested Advance in the case of a Reference Rate Loan,
and no later than 9:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on the third Banking Day before
the date of the requested Advance in the case of a LIBO Rate Loan. Each such
notice shall be made by a Designated Representative and given by telephone or
facsimile transmission to the Agent and, if given by telephone, shall thereafter
be immediately confirmed by the Borrower by delivery to the Agent of a Request
for Advance, Letter of Credit or Conversion/Continuation of a Loan.
(c) Notice to Banks. Upon receipt of a Request for Advance,
Letter of Credit or Conversion/Continuation conforming to the requirements of
this Section 2.2, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof and of the
amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Advance described therein.
(d) Making of Advances by Banks. Each Bank will make the amount
of its Pro Rata Share of any Advance available to the Agent for the account of
the Borrower at the Agent's Payment Office by 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on
the borrowing date requested by the Borrower in accordance with this Agreement
in funds immediately available to the Agent. The proceeds of all such Advances
will then be made available to the Borrower by the Agent by wire transfer in
accordance with written instructions provided to the Agent by the Borrower. The
failure of any Bank to make any Advance on any borrowing date shall not relieve
any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make an Advance on such borrowing
date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make
its Advance on the borrowing date.
2.3 Conversion and Continuation of Loans
(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any
Reference Rate Loan into a LIBO Rate Loan, or any LIBO Rate Loan into a
Reference Rate Loan; provided, however, that (i) no Reference Rate Loan may be
converted into a LIBO Rate Loan if at such time a Default or an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and (ii) any conversion of a LIBO Rate Loan into
a Reference Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the
Interest Period for such LIBO Rate Loan. The Borrower shall request the Agent to
effect such conversion by giving irrevocable notice to the Agent in the form of
the Request for Advance, Letter of Credit or Conversion/Continuation of a Loan
specifying:
19
20
(i) the Loan to be so converted;
(ii) the date of the requested conversion, which shall be a
Banking Day; and
(iii) if such Loan is to be converted into a LIBO Rate Loan,
the initial Interest Period selected by the Borrower for such LIBO Rate Loan,
provided that no Interest Period shall be selected if it would extend past the
Revolving Maturity Date or, if Borrower has elected the Term-out Option, the
Term-out Maturity Date.
(b) The Borrower shall give such notice of conversion to the
Agent no later than 9:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on the first Banking Day
before the date of the requested conversion of a Loan into a Reference Rate
Loan, and no later than 9:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on the third Banking Day
before the date of the requested conversion of a Loan into a LIBO Rate Loan.
Each such notice shall be made by a Designated Representative and given by
telephone or facsimile transmission to the Agent and, if given by telephone,
shall thereafter be immediately confirmed by the Borrower by delivery to the
Agent of a Request for Advance, Letter of Credit or Conversion/Continuation of a
Loan.
(c) Any LIBO Rate Loan may be continued as such upon the
expiration of its pending Interest Period by the Borrower's giving the Agent
irrevocable notice of continuation thereof no later than 9:00 a.m., San
Francisco time, on the third Banking Day before the date of the requested
continuation, which notice shall be given by delivery to the Agent of a Request
for Advance, Letter of Credit or Conversion/Continuation of a Loan; provided,
however, that no LIBO Rate Loan may be continued as such if a Default or an
Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing, but instead, such LIBO
Rate Loan shall be automatically converted to a Reference Rate Loan on the last
day of the Interest Period for which that Adjusted LIBO Rate was determined.
(d) In the event that a timely notice of conversion or
continuation with regard to a LIBO Rate Loan is not given in accordance with
this Section 2.3, then, unless the Agent shall have received timely notice in
accordance with Section 2.12 that the Borrower elects to prepay such LIBO Rate
Loan on the last day of such Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed
irrevocably to have requested that such LIBO Rate Loan be converted into a
Reference Rate Loan on the last day of such Interest Period.
(e) The Borrower may not request, continue or convert to, a LIBO
Rate Loan during the Term-out Option Period in an amount and for an Interest
Period that would result in all or a portion of such LIBO Rate Loan being paid
in whole or in part prior to the end of its applicable Interest Period by reason
of the required principal amortization payments during the Term-out Option
Period (as required under Section 2.5(c) hereof).
20
21
(f) Unless the Agent otherwise consents, the Borrower shall not
have more than six (6) LIBO Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; provided,
however, that the Borrower may have up to twelve (12) LIBO Rate Loans
outstanding if the Borrower pays to the Agent an additional fee of Two Hundred
Fifty Dollars ($250) for each LIBO Rate Loan requested in excess of six (6) LIBO
Rate Loans. If upon the Effective Date the Borrower has more than six (6) LIBO
Rate Loans outstanding, then the Borrower shall not be entitled to continue any
outstanding LIBO Rate Loan as a LIBO Rate Loan upon the expiration of its
pending Interest Period, or request the conversion of any Reference Rate Loan
into a LIBO Rate Loan, or elect to designate a new Advance as a LIBO Rate Loan,
unless (i) such continuation, conversion or designation shall not result in the
Borrower having more than six (6) LIBO Rate Loans outstanding or (ii) the
Borrower pays the additional fee set forth in the preceding sentence.
(g) Upon receipt of a Request for Advance, Letter of Credit or
Conversion/Continuation conforming to the requirements of this Section 2.3, or
an automatic conversion or continuation pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Agent
shall promptly notify each Bank thereof. All interest rate conversions and
continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding
principal amounts of the Loans converted or continued.

Loan), issue one or more Letter(s) of Credit under the Loan Availability;
provided, however, that the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations
shall not at any time exceed $5,000,000. The issuance of any such Letters of
Credit shall be subject to the following conditions (in addition to the
conditions set forth in Article III of this Agreement):
(i) Each such Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance

directly relating to the ordinary course of the Borrower's business as now

refinancing, maintaining and disposing of real estate projects; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing clause, no such Letter of Credit
shall be used to facilitate the payment or financing of any dividends declared
by the Borrower, nor shall any such
21
22
Letter of Credit be used for purposes of credit enhancement of the Borrower's
other Indebtedness for borrowed money.
(iii) Letters of Credit may be issued from time to time through
the date which is three (3) calendar days before the Revolving Maturity Date. No
Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date extending past the Revolving
Maturity Date; provided, however, that in the event that the Term-out Option has
been exercised by the Borrower as specified in Section 2.5(c) below, the
Required Banks, in their sole discretion may permit a Letter of Credit to have
an expiration date extending until the end of the Term-out Option Period, which
permission shall be communicated to the Borrower by the Agent and which
communication the Borrower may reasonably rely upon without the need for
independent verification from any other Bank. In the event that Required Banks
have consented to allow a Letter of Credit to have an expiration date extending
beyond the Revolving Maturity Date, then on the Revolving Maturity Date, with
respect to such Letter of Credit that remains outstanding, the Borrower shall
deposit cash in an amount equal to the face amount of such outstanding Letter of
Credit into an interest bearing deposit account (the "CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT")
established with and pledged to the Agent pursuant to documentation in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent. Such Cash Collateral Account shall secure
the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Bank arising in the
event of a draw under such Letter of Credit, and the Borrower hereby grants a
perfected first priority security interest in favor of the Agent in such Cash
Collateral Account, together with all rights of a secured party with respect
thereto (even if no further documentation is requested by the Agent or executed
by the Borrower with respect thereto). The Borrower shall execute such
additional documents as the Agent in its discretion may require and shall
provide all other documents requested by the Agent to evidence or perfect the
Agent's first priority security interest in such Cash Collateral Account. In the
event of a draw under such outstanding Letter of Credit, the Agent shall have
the right to immediately withdraw from the Cash Collateral Account an amount of
cash equal to the amount of the draw made under such Letter of Credit to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of the draw. If the Issuing Bank is
reimbursed by the Borrower from a source other than the Cash Collateral Account,
or if the amount of the drawing is less then the amount contained in the Cash
Collateral Account for that Letter of Credit, the Agent shall immediately pay to
the Borrower an amount equal to the difference between the amount held in the
Cash Collateral Account for that Letter of Credit and the amount required to
reimburse the Issuing Bank. Upon the expiration, surrender or termination of
such outstanding Letter of Credit (and any other Letters of Credit secured by
such Cash Collateral Account), the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower
all cash then contained in the Cash Collateral Account and the Cash Collateral
Account shall be closed. Except as specified above, Borrower shall not be
allowed to withdraw any sums from the Cash Collateral Account.
(iv) In the event of any request for drawing under any Letter of
Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent and
the Borrower that the Issuing Bank shall honor the drawing, and, with or without
such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank on the day on which
the drawing is
22
23
honored in an amount in same day funds equal to the amount of the drawing;
however, (i) the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Request for Advance to
the Agent requesting the Banks to make a Reference Rate Loan (or, if the
Borrower shall have made a timely request therefor, a LIBO Rate Loan) on the
date on which the drawing is honored in an amount equal to the amount of the
drawing; and (ii) subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions
precedent to Loans hereunder specified in this Agreement, then the Banks shall,
on the date of the drawing, make a Reference Rate Loan (or, if the Borrower
shall have made a timely request therefor, a LIBO Rate Loan) in the amount of
the drawing, the proceeds of which shall be paid to the Issuing Bank and applied
directly by the Issuing Bank to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of the
drawing.
(b) Obligation to Reimburse. The Borrower's obligation to reimburse
the Issuing Bank for any and all amounts drawn under any Letter of Credit and
all interest thereon shall be secured by the Collateral. The Borrower's
obligations to repay any and all drawings under any Letter of Credit hereunder
shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment
which the Borrower may have or have had against Issuing Bank, Agent or any other
Bank (except such as may arise out of Issuing Bank's, Agent's or any other
Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder) or any other Person,
including, without limitation, any setoff, counterclaim or defense based upon or
arising out of:
(i) The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right
which the Borrower may have at any time against, any beneficiary or any
transferee of such Letter of Credit;
(ii) Any demand, statement or any other document presented under
such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect, or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect whatsoever or any variations in punctuation, capitalization, spelling or
format of the drafts or any statements presented in connection with any drawing
under such Letter of Credit; and
(iii) The failure, for any reason, of any Bank to fund advances
to the Borrower hereunder for purposes of reimbursement of any drawing under a
Letter of Credit.
(c) Participations in Letter of Credit Obligations Purchased by
Banks.
(i) On the date of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (or, in
the case of any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder as of the Effective Date,
on the Effective Date), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed irrevocably and
unconditionally to have sold and transferred to each Bank (other than the
Issuing Bank) and each Bank shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased and received from the
23
24
Issuing Bank, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such
Bank's Pro Rata Share in effect from time to time, in such Letter of Credit and
all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto. The Pro Rata Share of
each Bank hereunder shall include that Bank's share of the Letter of Credit
Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the sale to and
purchase by each Bank of its Pro Rata Share of a Letter of Credit Obligation as
provided in this Section 2.4(c)(i), the Borrower shall continue to deal with the
Issuing Bank and the Agent as provided herein with respect to all Letters of
Credit.
(ii) In the event that any reimbursement obligation under this
Agreement is not paid when due to the Issuing Bank with respect to any Letter of
Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent to that effect, and the
Agent shall promptly notify each Bank (other than the Issuing Bank) of the
amount of such reimbursement obligation and each Bank other than the Issuing
Bank shall immediately pay to the Agent for distribution to the Issuing Bank, in

Bank's Pro Rata Share then in effect of the amount of such unpaid reimbursement
obligation.

make payments under Section 2.4(c)(ii) above shall be unconditional and
irrevocable and shall be made under all circumstances, including, without
limitation, following the occurrence of any Default or any Event of Default or
any of the circumstances referred to in Section 2.4(b).
(iv) Prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent shall
promptly distribute to each Bank its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share

obligations of the Borrower to repay amounts drawn under any Letter of Credit
(in like funds as received). Following the occurrence of an Event of Default,
all amounts received by the Agent on account of such obligations shall be
disbursed by the Agent as follows:
(A) First, to the payment of expenses incurred by the Agent
in the performance of its duties and enforcement of its rights under the Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of collection,
attorneys' fees, court costs and foreclosure expenses;
(B) Then, to the Banks, pro rata in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares until all outstanding reimbursement obligations for
drawings on such Letter of Credit and interest accrued thereon have been paid in
full; and
(C) Then, and if but only if there remains any available
amount which has not been drawn under such Letter of Credit, to the Agent to
hold as cash collateral for the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse any
future drawings on such Letter of Credit, the Borrower hereby granting to the
Agent, for the pro rata, pari passu benefit of the Banks, a first perfected
security interest therein and hereby
24
25
irrevocably agreeing that amounts so held may be applied from time to time in
reimbursement of drawings on such Letter of Credit as the same may occur, until
the expiration of such Letter of Credit and payment in full of all amounts due
with respect to any drawing thereon.
(v) If any payment received from the Borrower on
account of any reimbursement obligation with respect to any Letter of Credit and
distributed to a Bank hereunder is thereafter recovered from the Issuing Bank,
each Bank which received such distribution shall, upon demand by the Agent,
repay to the Issuing Bank such Bank's ratable share of the amount so recovered
together with an amount equal to such Bank's ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Bank's required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered) of any interest of other amount paid or payable by the
Issuing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered.
2.5 Maturity.
(a) Scheduled Maturity. Subject to the rights of the Borrower under
clause (c) of this Section 2.5 to elect the Term-out Option and also subject to
the mandatory prepayment provisions of Section 2.12 and the provisions of
Article VI regarding the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans (together with all accrued but unpaid interest,
fees, costs, charges and expenses of the Banks) shall be due and payable to the
Agent for the benefit of the Banks ratably on the Revolving Maturity Date.
(b) Extended Maturity. The Borrower may request that the Banks extend
the Revolving Maturity Date hereunder for one (1) year from July 1, 1998 to July
1, 1999, by giving the Agent written notice of such request no sooner than sixty
(60) days prior to June 6, 1997 and no later than June 6, 1997. Within thirty
(30) days following receipt of such written notice, the Agent shall notify
Borrower in writing (which writing the Borrower may reasonably rely upon without
the need for independent verification from any other Bank) whether or not the
Required Banks elect (which election may be made in the Required Banks' sole
discretion) to extend the Revolving Maturity Date hereunder for one (1) year
from July 1, 1998 to July 1, 1999. The Agent's failure to notify the Borrower in
writing within such thirty-day (30-day) period shall be deemed to be an election
not to so extend the Revolving Maturity Date hereunder. If the Required Banks
elect to extend the Revolving Maturity Date hereunder, then the parties shall
enter into such extension agreements with respect to the Loan Documents as are
satisfactory in form and substance to the Required Banks in their sole
discretion; provided, however, that the payment terms of the Note shall remain
unchanged (e.g., the interest rate shall remain the same and, except as
otherwise specified herein, there shall be no required principal amortization
prior to July 1, 1999). If this Agreement is extended as provided herein, the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank ratably a loan
extension fee (the "EXTENSION FEE") equal to one-tenth of one percent (0.10%) of
Commitment Amount, which fee shall become due and payable within
25
26
ten (10) days after receipt by the Borrower from the Agent of the Required
Banks' notice of extension.
(c) Term-Out Option. Provided that (a) no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing at the time of such election and (b) in the
Required Banks' reasonable opinion there have been no material adverse changes
in the business, operations, conditions or prospects, whether financial or
otherwise, of the Borrower, then the Borrower may in its sole discretion, by
written notice to the Agent no sooner than one hundred and twenty (120) days
prior to the Revolving Maturity Date and no later than sixty (60) days prior to
the Revolving Maturity Date, elect to exercise the "TERM-OUT OPTION". Upon
Borrower's written notification to Agent that it has exercised the Term-out
Option the following terms shall apply:
(i) The Banks' obligations to make Advances and the Issuing
Bank's obligation to issue Letters of Credit shall terminate as of the Term-out
Commencement Date, and Borrower shall have no right to request any further
Advances or additional Letters of Credit not then outstanding (provided that
Letters of Credit which are already outstanding prior to the Term-out
Commencement Date and which the Required Banks (in their sole discretion) have
permitted to have a term extending beyond the Revolving Maturity Date may remain
outstanding during the Term-out Option Period for the specified term thereof,
not to exceed the Term-out Maturity Date);
(ii) From the Term-out Commencement Date through the date which
is twenty-four (24) months following the Term-out Commencement Date (the
"TERM-OUT OPTION PERIOD"), in addition to interest and all other sums required
to be paid under the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall make quarterly principal
amortization payments in an amount equal to one-eightieth (1/80th) of the
aggregate amount of Advances outstanding as of the Term-out Commencement Date;
such payments shall be payable quarterly on the last Banking Day of each
calendar quarter (beginning on the last Banking Day of the calendar quarter
during which the Term-out Commencement Date occurs);
(iii) As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of Borrower's
exercise of the Term-out Option as provided herein, the Majority Banks in their
sole discretion may request the Agent to commission new appraisals for any
Collateral property for which the "as is" date of value for the most recent
appraisal commissioned by the Agent predates the Term-out Commencement Date by
more than one (1) year. The Majority Banks in their sole discretion may
reestablish Collateral Values for each such reappraised Collateral property for
the purpose of recalculating the Borrowing Base. The Borrower shall pay all
fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with all such reappraisals and
the limitation on appraisal fees, costs and expenses set forth in Section 2.21
shall not apply to any reappraisals prepared pursuant to this Section
2.5(c)(iii);
26
27
(iv) The applicable interest rates shall increase by one-quarter
of one percent (0.25%) during the Term-out Option Period, as more fully
specified below in Section 2.6;
(v) All remaining unpaid Advances and other Obligations shall be
due and payable in full on the expiration of the Term-out Option Period, which
shall expire two (2) years from the Revolving Maturity Date (the "Term-out
Maturity Date");
(vi) Except as specified above, all other terms and provisions of
the Loan Documents shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect during
the Term-out Option Period; and
(vii) The Borrower shall have paid to the Agent for the account
of the Banks ratably on or before the Term-out Commencement Date a term-out fee
equal to three hundred and seventy-five one-thousandths of one percent (0.375%)
of the aggregate amount of all Advances outstanding on the Term-out Commencement
Date.
2.6 Interest; Interest Payment Dates
(a) During the initial term of this Agreement, but not during the
Term-out Option Period, each Reference Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate
plus one-quarter of one percent (0.25%), such rate to change from time to time
concurrently with any change in the Reference Rate. During the Term-out Option
Period, the applicable interest rate on each Reference Rate Loan shall increase
by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) to a rate equal to the Reference Rate plus
one-half of one percent (0.5%) per annum.
(b) During the initial term of this Agreement, but not during the
Term-out Option Period, each LIBO Rate Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid
principal amount thereof during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal
to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, plus one and three-quarters
percent (1.75%). During the Term out Option Period, the applicable interest rate
on each LIBO Rate Loan shall increase by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) to a
rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable Interest Period plus two
percent (2.0%) per annum.
(c) Interest on each Loan accrued through the end of each calendar
month shall be payable in arrears on the next Interest Payment Date; provided,
however, that Overdue Interest and any other amount payable in connection with
any Loan not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) shall be payable from time to time upon demand of the Banks.
(d) All computations of interest shall be based on a year of three
hundred and sixty (360) days and actual days elapsed.
27
28
2.7 Overdue Amounts. All Overdue Amounts shall bear interest at a rate of
three percent (3.0%) in excess of the Reference Rate, effective on the day
following the date of nonpayment and continuing until such amounts are paid in
full.
2.8 Note. The Borrower's obligation to repay the principal amount of all
Loans and all accrued interest thereon shall be evidenced by the Note, all of
the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by this reference. The
Agent shall enter the date, amount and interest rate with respect to each Loan
(and, in the case of each LIBO Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable
thereto), and any payments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records or
on the back of the Note, and such entries shall be prima facie evidence of the
matters noted, absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent to make any
notation in its books and records or on the back of its Note shall not discharge
the Borrower of its obligation to repay in full with interest all amounts
borrowed hereunder.
2.9 Purpose of the Loans. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used only for
purposes directly related to the conduct of the Borrower's business as a real
estate investment trust, including, without limitation, general corporate
purposes, working capital purposes and the purposes of acquiring, refinancing,
maintaining and disposing of real estate projects; provided, however, that no
more than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) may be available hereunder for the
issuance of Letters of Credit or the repayment of Letter of Credit Obligations;
and provided, further, that no amounts may be borrowed hereunder for the purpose
of paying or financing the payment of dividends declared by the Borrower.
2.10 Other Fees.
(a) In addition to the other fees provided for herein, the Borrower
shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks ratably from the Borrower's
own funds (and not from Loan proceeds):
(i) An unused facility fee (the "UNUSED COMMITMENT FEE") in an
amount equal to the average daily unused amount of the Commitment Amount from
June 6, 1996 until the Revolving Maturity Date, multiplied by the rate of
one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum based upon a three hundred and
sixty-day (360-day) year and the actual number of day elapsed. Installments of
the Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Banking Day of each calendar quarter during which there is outstanding any
unused Commitment Amount and on the Revolving Maturity Date or the last day of
the Term-out Option Period. No Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable during the
Term-out Option Period. For purposes of computing the Unused Commitment Fee, the
amount of the Advance requested by the Borrower pursuant to that certain
Irrevocable Request and Authorization to Disburse, dated as of February 14, 1996
(the "IRREVOCABLE REQUEST"), delivered by the Borrower to BofA, shall be
considered part of the unused portion of the Commitment Amount until such time
as the letter of credit referenced in the Irrevocable Request is
28
29
returned to BofA or such funds become the subject of a "Funding Notice", as such
term is used in the Irrevocable Request; and
(ii) For each Letter of Credit, a fee equal to one and one-half
percent (1.50%) per annum (based upon a three hundred and sixty-day (360-day)
year and the actual number of day elapsed) of the face amount of such Letter of
Credit (as the same may be increased by any amendment thereto). The first
monthly installment of such fee shall be payable upon issuance of such Letter of
Credit and thereafter monthly installments shall be payable in advance for the
term of such Letter of Credit (as such term may be extended). The Borrower shall
also pay to the Issuing Bank all costs and expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank
related to the issuance of such Letter of Credit or any amendment thereto, which
costs and expenses shall be payable prior to the issuance of such Letter of
Credit or any such amendment.
(b) The Borrower shall pay an agency fee to the Agent for the Agent's
own account, as set forth in that certain letter agreement, dated May 20, 1996,
by and between BofA and the Borrower.
2.11 Payments by Borrower.
(a) Except as provided in Section 2.4 with respect to Letters of
Credit, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Agent for the account
of the Banks ratably at the Agent's Payment Office, and shall be made in U.S.
dollars and in immediately available funds, in accordance with the Loan
Documents. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its Pro Rata Share
(or other applicable share as may be agreed by a Bank) of such payment in like
funds as received to each Bank's Payment Office. Whenever any payment hereunder
shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Banking Day, such payment shall
be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall be
included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. Any payment
received by the Agent later than 10:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on any Banking
Day or any payment received on a day other than a Banking Day shall be deemed to
have been received on the following Banking Day and any applicable interest or
fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) Agent shall have the exclusive right to collect from Borrower or
any guarantors, third parties, on account of the Loan, including principal,
interest, fees, protective advances, prepayment premiums (if any), whether such
sums are received directly from Borrower, any guarantors, or any other persons,
or obtained by right of offset by Agent of any kind, by sale of any Collateral,
or by enforcement of the Loan Documents. No Bank shall independently initiate
any judicial action or equivalent action or other proceeding against the
Borrower with respect to the Secured Facility.
(c) The Borrower shall reimburse the Banks for any and all Payment
Taxes the Banks shall incur with respect to this Agreement, the Note or any
other Loan Document. All payments by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be
made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in
order
29
30
that all such payments (after deduction or withholding for or on account of any
Payment Taxes) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise required to be paid
under this Agreement. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable to the
Banks under this Section 2.11 submitted to the Borrower by the Agent shall show
in reasonable detail the amount payable, the calculations used to determine such
amount and the basis of such claim and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Any amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 2.11 with respect
to past payments shall be due within ten (10) days following receipt by the
Borrower of such certificate from the Agent; any such amounts payable with
respect to future payments shall be due concurrently with such future payments.
With respect to each deduction or withholding for or on account of Payment
Taxes, the Borrower shall promptly furnish to the Agent such certificates,
receipts and other documents as may be required (in the reasonable judgment of
the Agent) to establish any tax credit to which the Banks may be entitled.
2.12 Prepayments.
(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Note, upon at
least one Banking Day's notice to the Agent, the Borrower may, at its option,
prepay the Loans (together with all other fees, costs, charges and expenses of
the Banks accrued but unpaid through the date of prepayment) in whole at any
time or in part from time to time, without penalty or premium; provided,
however, that LIBO Rate Loans (i) may only be prepaid on a day other than the
last day of the applicable Interest Period upon payment of the prepayment fee
specified in subsection (b) below, (ii) any partial prepayment shall be made in
an amount at least equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or any
higher amount that is an integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000). If any such notice is given, the principal amount to be paid shall
be irrevocably due and payable on the date specified in the notice, together
with all other fees, costs, charges and expenses of the Banks accrued but unpaid
through the date of prepayment. Accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of any
prepayment shall be due and payable on the next Interest Payment Date following
such prepayment.
(b) The prepayment fee payable in accordance with subsection (a)(i)
above shall be payable to Agent for the account of the Banks ratably and shall
be equal to the sum of:
(i) Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($250); and
(ii) the amount, if any, by which X exceeds Y, where
(A) X equals the additional interest that would have
accrued on the principal amount prepaid at the Adjusted LIBO Rate without any
spread, if that amount had remained outstanding until the last day of the
applicable Interest Period, and
(B) Y equals the interest that Banks could recover by
placing the prepaid funds on deposit in the London U.S. dollar inter-bank
30
31
market for a period beginning on the day of the prepayment and ending on the
last day of the applicable Interest Period, or for a comparable period for which
an appropriate rate quote may be obtained; and
(iii) an amount equal to all costs and expenses which Banks
reasonably expect to incur in liquidation and reinvestment of the prepaid funds.
In no event shall the Banks be obligated to make any payment or refund to
the Borrower, nor shall the Borrower be entitled to any setoff or other claim
against the Banks, should the return which the Banks could obtain under the
prepayment formula exceed the interest that the Banks would have received if no
prepayment had occurred.
The foregoing prepayment fee shall also be payable if prepayment occurs as
the result of the acceleration of the Obligations by the Agent because of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, and in that event the Banks shall,
automatically and without notice or demand, be entitled to receive, concurrently
with any such prepayment, the prepayment fee set forth above and the obligation
to pay such prepayment fee shall be added to the principal hereof.
THE BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE BANKS WOULD NOT MAKE
TO THE BORROWER THE LIBO RATE LOANS WITHOUT THE BORROWER'S AGREEMENT, AS SET
FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION, TO PAY THE BANKS A PREPAYMENT FEE UPON THE
SATISFACTION OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PRINCIPAL BEARING INTEREST BASED UPON
THE ADJUSTED LIBO RATE FOLLOWING THE ACCELERATION OF THE REVOLVING MATURITY DATE
(OR THE TERM-OUT MATURITY DATE IF THE BORROWER ELECTS THE TERM-OUT OPTION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.5(b)) HEREOF BY REASON OF A DEFAULT HEREUNDER. THE
BORROWER HAS CAUSED THOSE PERSONS SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT ON THE BORROWER'S
BEHALF TO SEPARATELY INITIAL THE AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION BY PLACING
THEIR INITIALS BELOW:
INITIALS: _______________
(c) The outstanding Obligations shall be prepaid immediately to
the extent of all Net Cash Proceeds derived from the sale of securities by the
Borrower (excluding sales of the Borrower's common stock in the Second Public
Offering or any stock option or dividend reinvestment plan of the Borrower).
(d) The outstanding Obligations shall be prepaid immediately to
the extent of all insurance proceeds received under any insurance policy
maintained pursuant to any Loan Document which are required by that Loan
Document to be applied to the Obligations.
31
32
(e) The outstanding obligations shall be prepaid immediately to
the extent of the release price to be paid to the Agent for the account of the
Banks ratably under Section 2.22(a)(iii) hereof when proceeds are received by
reason of the sale or refinancing of any Collateral.
(f) In the event the Borrower elects to prepay the Secured
Facility in whole or in part in accordance with and subject to the requirements,
terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.19, the Agent will promptly notify
each Bank of the Agent's receipt of the Borrower's notice with respect thereto
and of each Bank's Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Any reduction or
termination of the Secured Facility, including any voluntary reduction in the
Commitment Amount by the Borrower pursuant to the Agreement, shall be applied to
each Bank according to its Pro Rata Share.
2.13 Agent's Right to Charge Account. The Borrower authorizes the
Agent at any time and from time to time (irrevocably until the Obligations are
paid in full and the Loan Availability hereunder is terminated) to charge any
Obligations then due against any deposit account maintained by the Borrower with
the Agent; provided that the Agent shall not have any obligation to charge any
such Obligations against any such deposit account. The Borrower hereby grants a
perfected first priority security interest in favor of the Agent in all such
deposit accounts as security for the Obligations of the Borrower, together will
all rights of a secured party with respect thereto. The Borrower shall execute
such additional documents as the Agent in its discretion may require and shall
provide all other documents requested by the Agent to evidence or perfect its
first priority security interest in such deposit accounts.
2.14 Set-Off. Subject to Section 2.11(c), in addition to any rights
and remedies of the Banks provided by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Banks shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower
(any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower) to the extent permitted
by Applicable Law, to set-off and apply against any Indebtedness, whether mature
or unmatured and whether fixed or contingent, of the Borrower to the Banks under
this Agreement, any amount then or thereafter owing from the Banks to the
Borrower.
2.15 Inability to Determine Interest Rates. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, if the Agent determines (which determination, in
the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank
eurocurrency market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any Interest Period with respect to (a) proposed
Loans that the Borrower has requested be made as LIBO Rate Loans, (b) a LIBO
Rate Loan that will result from the requested conversion of any Reference Rate
Loan into a LIBO Rate Loan or (c) the continuation of a LIBO Rate Loan as such
for an additional Interest Period (any such Loan described in clauses (a), (b)
or (c) of this Section being herein called an "Affected Loan"), the Agent shall
forthwith give telephonic or facsimile notice of its determination, confirmed in
writing, to the Borrower at least two (2) Banking Days prior to, as the case may
be, the
32
33
funding date for such Affected Loan, the conversion date for such Affected Loan
or the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Affected Loan. Unless
the Borrower notifies the Agent promptly upon receipt of such telephonic or
facsimile notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its request regarding the
Affected Loan, then any requested LIBO Rate Loan shall be made as, continued as,
or converted into a Reference Rate Loan, as the case may be. Until any such
notice has been withdrawn by the Agent, no further Affected Loan shall be made.
2.16 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if any change of law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or any
change in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for
any Bank to make or maintain a LIBO Rate Loan as contemplated by this Agreement
or to accept deposits in order to make or maintain a LIBO Rate Loan, (a) such
Bank acting through the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof, (b)
the agreement of such Bank hereunder to make or convert into LIBO Rate Loans
shall be suspended forthwith and (c) any and all outstanding LIBO Rate Loans
made by such Bank and then outstanding shall automatically become Reference Rate
Loans for the duration of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto
(or, if permitted by Applicable Law, at the end of such Interest Periods). The
Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate such Bank for any costs incurred by
such Bank as a consequence of the Borrower making any conversion in accordance
with this Section, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable
by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by such Bank in order to make or
maintain its LIBO Rate Loans. A certificate as to any such costs payable
pursuant to this Section 2.16 submitted by an officer of such Bank to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) shall be conclusive, in the absence of
manifest error.
2.17 Increased Costs. If, after the date of this Agreement, the
adoption of or any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or any
change in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Bank
with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued
after the date hereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(a) Shall subject such Bank to any tax, duty or other charge
with respect to a Letter of Credit or a Loan or its obligation to issue any such
Letter of Credit or make any such Loan, or shall change the basis of taxation of
payments by the Borrower to such Bank on or in respect of such Loan (except for
changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of such Bank);
(b) Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other
acquisition of funds by such Bank for any Letter of Credit or any Loan (except
for any reserve, special deposit or other requirement included in the
determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as applicable); or
33
34
(c) Shall impose on such Bank any other condition directly
related to any Letter of Credit or any Loan; and
(d) The result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost
to such Bank of issuing, making, renewing or maintaining such Letter of Credit
or Loan beyond any adjustment made by such Bank in determining the applicable
fee or interest rate for such Letter of Credit or Loan, or to reduce any amount
receivable by it in respect of such Letter of Credit or Loan;
then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly, upon demand by such Bank,
pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank any additional amounts necessary
to compensate such Bank for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as
reasonably determined by such Bank with respect to this Agreement, the Note or
any other Loan Document; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay
any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the thirtieth (30th)
day before the date of any such demand. A certificate as to any additional
amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by an officer of
such Bank to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) shall be conclusive, in the
absence of manifest error.
2.18 Capital Adequacy.
(a) For purposes of this Section 2.18, the term "Bank" includes each
Bank and any company controlling a Bank. The term "CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENT"
means any applicable existing or future law, rule, regulation or guideline, or
any change in any of the foregoing, that relates to the manner in which a Bank
allocates capital resources to its loans and commitments, or to a class of such
loans and commitments which includes the Loans, or to any letters of credit such
as the Letters of Credit.
(b) This Section 2.18 shall apply whenever a Bank in its reasonable
judgment determines:
(i) That the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Bank is or would be affected by any Capital Adequacy
Requirement, or by the manner in which any Capital Adequacy Requirement may now
or in the future be interpreted or administered by any governmental authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with such interpretation or
administration, or by such Bank's compliance with any request or directive,
whether or not having the force of law, of any such governmental authority,
central bank or comparable agency; and
(ii) That as a result, the rate of return on such Bank's capital
has been or will be reduced because of such Bank's obligations under the Loan
Documents, taking into account such Bank's policies with respect to capital
adequacy and such Bank's desired return on capital.
34
35
If the conditions described above have been met, Borrower shall pay the
Agent for the account of such Bank, upon written notice and demand made as
specified below, such amounts as such Bank may reasonably determine would
compensate such Bank for Borrower's allocable share of such Bank's reduced rate
of return; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such
amount with respect to any period prior to the thirtieth (30th) day before the
date of any such demand.
(c) Such Bank shall give the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) at
least thirty (30) days' written notice before such Bank's initial demand for
compensation under this Section 2.18, and before any subsequent demand for such
compensation at a level higher than that previously requested. The notice shall
describe in reasonable detail the method of calculating such compensation.
(d) All compensation under this Section 2.18 shall be payable
quarterly in arrears. Any demand by a Bank for such compensation shall include a
certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining the
amounts payable, and any such certificate shall be conclusive and binding in the
absence of manifest error.
2.19 Termination of Unused Commitment. The Borrower may, at any time, at
its option and upon five (5) business days' written notice to the Agent, elect
to terminate, in multiples of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), any
amount in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of the unused portion of
the Commitment Amount; once so terminated, such portion of the Commitment Amount
shall not be reinstated.
2.20 Collateral. As of the Effective Date, the Collateral hereunder shall
be the Existing Collateral and the Banks acknowledge that all conditions
specified in this Section 2.20(c) have been satisfied with respect to each
property constituting part of the Existing Collateral. Additional Collateral may
be offered by the Borrower and shall be included in the Borrowing Base only in
accordance with the following and any additional terms and conditions contained
in this Agreement:
(a) Request for Borrowing Base Increase. The Borrower from time to
time may request that real property owned or to be acquired by the Borrower be
accepted as Collateral and included in the Borrowing Base by delivering to the
Agent a Request for Borrowing Base Increase as to such Collateral.
(b) Acceptance of Collateral. The Required Banks shall have the
right, in their sole discretion, and after performing such due diligence as the
Required Banks desire in their sole discretion, to accept or reject any real
property offered as Collateral. The Borrower shall at its expense provide the
Required Banks with all requested due diligence materials and information,
including, without limitation, title reports, environmental reports, soils
reports, flood plain information, entitlement documents and plans and
specifications, occupancy permits, operating statements and rent rolls, with
respect to any offered real property.
35
36
(c) Conditions to Inclusion of Collateral in Borrowing Base. Each of
the following conditions must be satisfied (or waived in writing by the Required
Banks in their sole discretion) prior to the Required Banks' acceptance of any
real property as Collateral and its inclusion in the Borrowing Base:
(i) Acceptances. The Required Banks shall have accepted the real
property as Collateral for inclusion into the Borrowing Base in the Required
Banks' sole discretion in accordance with Section 2.20(b) above, and the Agent
shall have so notified the Borrower in writing, which writing the Borrower may
reasonably rely upon without the need for independent verification from any
other Bank.
(ii) Security Documents. The Borrower shall execute and deliver
to the Agent such Security Documents as the Agent may require in its sole
discretion, including a Deed of Trust, UCC-1 financing statement, fixture
filing, unsecured environmental indemnity, and any other certificates or
documents; and such Security Documents shall have been recorded and filed, as
appropriate, so as to grant the Agent for the benefit of the Banks a perfected
first priority lien on the intended real property collateral and all leases,
rents and personal property relating thereto.
(iii) Title Assurances. The Agent shall receive an American Land
Title Association lender's policy of title insurance issued by Title Company,
with such endorsements as the Agent may reasonably require (including mechanics
lien coverage), with a liability limit of the Commitment Amount (aggregated with
the liability limits of all other title policies issued hereunder), and insuring
the Agent as the holder for the pari passu benefit of the Banks of a first lien
priority Deed of Trust encumbering the applicable Collateral, subject only to
such exceptions as the Agent may approve in its sole discretion. The Agent shall
also receive such reinsurance in such amounts and from such title insurers other
than the Title Company as the Agent may elect in its sole discretion.
The Agent may, at its option, also require a certification from
the applicable state authority that no financing statements have been filed
affecting the applicable collateral that would have priority over the Agent's
security interest covering the same personal property Collateral.
(iv) Use and Entitlements. The Collateral shall consist of
apartment properties or industrial properties with completed Improvements, and
shall be properly zoned and in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable laws for its intended use.
(v) No Restrictions. The Agent shall be reasonably satisfied,
based upon such information as the Agent deems relevant, that the Collateral is
not subject to any moratorium, law, government restriction, or other
requirement, covenant, condition, or restriction that might materially adversely
affect the marketability or refinanceability thereof.
36
37
(vi) Collateral Value. The Agent shall have designated a
Collateral Value for the Collateral, and shall have notified the Borrower in
writing of the amount thereof.
(vii) Insurance. The Borrower shall have provided the Agent with
evidence satisfactory to the Agent that all insurance required by the Agent with
respect to the Collateral has been obtained (including appropriate lender's loss
payable endorsements).
(viii) State. The collateral shall be located in California,
Oregon and/or Washington.
(ix) Tenant Estoppels. In the event the Collateral is industrial
property, the Agent shall have received a Tenant Estoppel Certificate,
substantially in the form of Exhibit "F" attached hereto, executed by each
tenant leasing fifty thousand (50,000) square feet or more of the leaseable
space of such Collateral.
(d) Adjustment of Borrowing Base. In addition to adjustments
resulting from the sale or refinancing of the Collateral (and therefore its
removal from the Borrowing Base), the Agent may adjust the Borrowing Base as
follows:
(i) The Agent may at any time exclude from the Borrowing Base
calculation the Collateral Value of any Collateral if Hazardous Substances
(other than those disclosed in environmental reports delivered to the Agent
prior to the time Collateral becomes part of the Borrowing Base, so long as the
potential remediation cost or potential liability has not materially increased,
as reasonably determined by the Agent) are present on such Collateral and the
remediation of such Hazardous Substances will impose costs upon the Borrower (or
such owner of the Collateral as there may be) which, in the good faith
determination of the Agent, are material in relation to the value of such
Collateral;
(ii) The Collateral Value of any property included within the
Borrowing Base shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Borrowing
Base if the applicable Deed of Trust encumbering such property for any reason
ceases or fails to constitute a valid, perfected and subsisting first priority
lien (subject only to Liens existing at the time the property became part of the
Borrowing Base and those Liens permitted by the Agent) on the property purported
to be covered thereby; and
(iii) The Agent may reduce the applicable Collateral Value for
any Collateral within the Borrowing Base, and thereby reduce the Borrowing Base,
by an amount which the Agent reasonably determines, should any such Collateral
be subject, in whole or in part, to any condemnation, casualty or other material
injury; provided that if the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are paid
to the Agent, and the conditions specified in Section 5.5(d) of the applicable
Deed of Trust to allowing the Borrower the use of the proceeds or awards to
repair or restore the Collateral have
37
38
been satisfied, the Agent shall not reduce the applicable Collateral Value for
such Collateral which has been the subject of such condemnation, casualty or
other injury (or shall only reduce the Collateral Value to the value which the
Agent reasonably determines the Collateral will have once the repair or
restoration is complete, at the Agent's option), so long as the repair or
restoration is proceeding diligently and in accordance with the plans and
specifications and other requirements as specified in section 5.5(d) of the
applicable Deed of Trust.
(e) Security for Obligations. All of the Obligations (except for the
Unsecured Environmental Indemnity and any other obligations that are
specifically stated to be unsecured by the terms of the applicable Loan
Documents) shall be secured by the Collateral in accordance with the terms of
the Security Documents.
2.21 Rebalancing. At any time following the Effective Date, the Majority
Banks may request that the Agent commission reappraisals of each of the
properties constituting part of the Collateral within the Borrowing Base and
establish new Collateral Values for each of such properties for purposes of the
calculation under clause (a) of the definition of Borrowing Base set forth in
Section 1.1 of this Agreement. Upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay
all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the reappraisal of such
properties in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in
the aggregate for all such appraisals. Except as otherwise specified in Sections
2.05(c), 2.20(d) or other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, the
Majority Banks may redesignate new Collateral Values for each such property
(following the initial designation at the time such property was originally
included within the Borrowing Base) only once during any two-year (2-year)
period; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the redesignation
by the Majority Banks of a new Collateral Value for any such property following
the Effective Date based upon an appraisal and revaluation process initiated but
not completed prior to June 6, 1996 shall not preclude the Majority Banks from
once again redesignating a new Collateral Value for such property during the
two-year (2-year) period following June 6, 1996. The Agent shall notify the
Borrower in writing of the new Borrowing Base, if any, resulting from any
reappraisal and redesignation of new Collateral Values made pursuant to this
Section 2.21, which notification the Borrower may reasonably rely upon without
the need for independent verification from any other Bank, and thereafter such
new Borrowing Base shall be the Borrowing Base under this Agreement for all
purposes. If any payment to the Banks is required to be made by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof as a result of the recalculation of the Borrowing
Base under this Section 2.21, the Borrower shall either: (a) within thirty (30)
days and without demand from the Agent pay such amount to the Agent as is
required to reduce the aggregate outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit
Obligations to an amount not greater than the Loan Availability; or (b) elect,
by two (2) days' written notice to the Agent, to amend clause (a) of the
definition of Borrowing Base in Section 1.1 by replacing the words "fifty-five
percent (55%)" with the words "sixty percent (60%)", whereupon the definition of
Borrowing Base set forth in Section 1.1 shall be deemed to have been amended to
read "sixty percent (60%)" (but the remainder of the definition of Borrowing
Base shall otherwise remain
38
39
unmodified) and the Borrower shall pay within thirty (30) days and without
demand such amounts as are required to reduce the aggregate outstanding Advances
and Letter of Credit Obligations to an amount not greater than the Loan
Availability based upon such amended definition of Borrowing Base.
2.22 Release of Collateral. Provided that no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, and subject to any other conditions contained in
this Agreement:
(a) Upon Sale or Refinancing. The Banks irrevocably authorize the
Agent to release the entirety of its interest in any Collateral from the lien of
the Deed of Trust at the request of Borrower upon the sale or refinancing of the
entirety of such Collateral, provided that:
(i) The sale or refinancing is not prohibited by any provision
of this Agreement or any Security Document;
(ii) The release of the Collateral does not result in a violation
of any provision of this Agreement or any Security Document, and the Borrower
shall first have made such payment to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks
ratably as is required to cause the outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit
Obligations not to exceed the Loan Availability immediately after giving effect
to such release;
(iii) Prior to such release, any rebalancing payment required to
be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21 with respect to the Collateral
remaining as part of the Borrowing Base following such release shall have been
made;
(iv) The sale or refinancing relates to all of the Borrower's
interest in the real estate project comprising the Collateral; and
(v) No such release shall affect any of the Borrower's
obligations under the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement or Sections 5.22 or 8.5
hereof with respect to such released Collateral.
(b) Final Release. The Banks irrevocably authorize the Agent to
release all of the Collateral upon payment in full of all Obligations and the
full discharge and release of all Letter of Credit Obligations.
(c) Costs. As a condition to the Agent's obligation to release any
Collateral, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to the Agent's
costs incurred in connection with the release, including the Agent's
reconveyance fee, recording fees, escrow fees and the cost of any title policy
endorsements reasonably requested by the Agent.
2.23 Reaffirmation. The Borrower, the Agent and the Banks acknowledge and
agree that the Irrevocable Request remains in full force and effect and is
39
40
unchanged by the terms hereof. The Borrower hereby reaffirms its covenants and
obligations under the Irrevocable Request, and, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges the continuing effectiveness and
priority of the Agent's security interest in the "Collateral", as such term is
used in the Irrevocable Request. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower and
the Banks acknowledge and agree that until such time as the letter of credit
referenced in the Irrevocable Request is returned to BofA, the Loan Availability
hereunder shall be reduced by Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).

Letter of Credit is issued, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent
and each Bank as follows:
4.1 Corporate Existence and Power. The Borrower is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation, has full corporate power and all material
Governmental Actions required to carry on its business as now being or proposed
to be conducted and is in good standing and duly licensed or qualified to
transact business in each other jurisdiction where the failure so to do would
have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or
operations.
42
43
4.2 Corporate and Governmental Action; No Contravention. The execution,
delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement, the Note, the
Security Documents and the other Loan Documents are within the Borrower's
corporate power and authority, have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on its part, do not and will not require any Governmental
Actions other than any that have already been obtained and do not contravene, or
constitute a default under, any provision of any Applicable Laws or of the
certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower or of any agreement,
judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the
Borrower or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any assets of
the Borrower.
4.3 Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes, and the Note and Security
Documents (when executed and delivered as contemplated by this Agreement), will
constitute, the valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable
against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except in each
case as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by
general principles of equity.
4.4 Financial Information.
(a) All financial information delivered to BofA by the Borrower
pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including, without
limitation, the annual financial statement for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995 and the quarterly financial statement for the fiscal quarter ended June
30, 1996) has been delivered as of the Effective Date and such information
accurately presents the financial position of the Borrower as of the dates
thereof and the results of its operations during the periods covered thereby.
(b) Since June 30, 1996, there has been no material adverse change in
the ownership, management, business operations or financial condition prospects,
liabilities or capitalization of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c) As of the Effective Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries has any material liabilities or commitments, fixed, contingent or
otherwise, that were not reflected on the annual financial statement for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 or the quarterly statement for the fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 1996 delivered to BofA by the Borrower.
(d) The management prepared pro forma balance sheet and proforma
statements or operations and cash flows for the Borrower set forth in the
Supplemental Registration Statement fairly present the financial position of the
Borrower as of the Effective Date.
4.5 Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending, or to the
knowledge of the Borrower threatened, against or affecting the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries before any Governmental Authority which if decided adversely
to the
43
44
Borrower or such Subsidiaries would materially and adversely affect the
ownership, management, business, operations or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or which in any manner
questions the validity of this Agreement or the Note.
4.6 Compliance with ERISA. To the best of the Borrower's knowledge, the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries have fulfilled their obligations under the minimum
funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan, are in
compliance in all material respects with the currently applicable provisions of
ERISA and the Code relating to each Plan, have not incurred any material

federal income tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be
filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant
to any assessment received by them, except for those which are being contested
in good faith and by appropriate proceedings. The charges, accruals and reserves
on the books of the Borrower and its subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other
governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.
4.8 Title. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have good and (in the case of
real property) marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of the
properties and assets reflected in any financial statement delivered to the
Agent (including the annual financial statement for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995 and the quarterly financial statement for the fiscal quarter
ended March 31, 1996) except for covenants, restrictions, rights, easements and
exceptions in title which (a) in the case of any Collateral, have been approved
by the Agent, and (b) in the case of properties other than Collateral do not (i)
interfere with the occupation, use and employment of the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries of such properties and assets in the normal course of its business
as currently conducted or (ii) impair the value of such business, properties or
assets; and such titles or interests are free and clear of Liens except, in the
case of properties other than Collateral, for any Liens permitted under Section
5.11 after the date of this Agreement.
4.9 No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred or would
result from the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this
Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents or any of the other Loan Documents.
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries are in default in any material
respect under any Governmental Action binding upon or affecting any of them or
any of their properties and assets, and no such Governmental Action materially
and adversely affects the ability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to
carry on its business as currently conducted or its ability to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, the Note or the Security Documents or to pay
the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any other Obligations.
44

is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate
Commerce Act or any other similar Applicable Law limiting or restricting the
incurrence of Indebtedness.

the purpose of purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" within the meaning of
Regulation U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally,
or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending, or

any such "margin stock" or any "margin securities" within the meaning of
Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
4.12 Status as a REIT. The Borrower is qualified as a real estate
investment trust under the Code and is in compliance with all Applicable Laws
applicable to it as a real estate investment trust, except where such
noncompliance is or would be immaterial and, if required, has been authorized by
appropriate Governmental Action.
4.13 Environmental Matters. To the best of the Borrower's knowledge and
except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws
with respect to all of their presently or previously owned real property and
such real property is free from, and does not contain any, Hazardous Substances
the presence of which would have a material adverse effect on the business,
operations, financial condition or prospects of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole. To the best of the Borrower's knowledge, neither
the Borrower, its Subsidiaries nor any of their agents or contractors have
deposited, discharged, disposed of, stored or placed any Hazardous Substances on
or in any real property presently or previously owned by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries in a manner which would have a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, financial condition or prospects of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Nothing contained in this Section 4.13 shall in
any way limit or impair any representations, warranties, agreements or
indemnities of the Borrower set forth in the Unsecured Environmental Indemnity.
4.14 Registration Statement. The Registration Statement and the
Supplemental Registration Statement do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
4.15 Full Disclosure. There is no fact which the Borrower has not disclosed
in writing to the Agent and the Banks which has, or so far as the Borrower can
now reasonably foresee will have, a material adverse effect on the ability of
the Borrower
45
46
to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to pay the principal of or
the interest on the Loans or any other Obligations.

or resulting from construction of any improvements on the Collateral, including
any defective workmanship or materials; or any failure to satisfy any
requirements of any laws, regulations, ordinances, governmental policies or
standards, reports, subdivision maps or development agreements that apply or

time may request. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly
obtain and deliver to Agent such subordination and attornment agreements from

Lease guarantor.

7.5 Resignation of Agent.
(a) The Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Banks shall,
resign as the Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Borrower and the Banks.
If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from
among the Banks a successor agent, which successor shall be subject to approval
by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the
resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the
Borrower and the Banks, a successor agent which would qualify as an Eligible
Assignee. Upon the acceptance of appointment as successor agent hereunder, such
successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent, and the
retiring Agent's appointment, powers and duties as the Agent shall terminate.
The appointment of the successor agent shall become effective only upon the
Borrower's receipt of written notice of the Majority Banks' appointment of the
successor agent and the successor agent's acceptance of such appointment. After
any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions
regarding payment of costs and expenses and indemnification of the Agent shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was the Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted
appointment as the Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a
retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Banks shall perform all of the
duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Banks
appoint a successor agent.
(b) Upon replacement of the Agent as provided in this Agreement, the
former Agent shall promptly deliver to the new Agent an assignment of all
beneficial interest in any Deeds of Trust and any other Security Documents (if
before acquisition of the Collateral), or a quitclaim deed to and assignment of
any Collateral (if after acquisition of the Collateral) and copies of any books,
records, and documents related to the Secured Facility and the Collateral then
in the former Agent's possession to which the Banks are entitled.
7.6 No Interest in Agent's Other Property. A Bank which is not the Agent
shall have no interest in any (i) property taken as security for any other loan
or financial accommodation made or furnished to the Borrower by the Agent (in
which such Bank has not acquired an interest); (ii) property now or hereafter in
the Agent's possession or under the Agent's control other than by reason of the
Loan Documents; or
59
60
(iii) deposits which may be or might become security for the Obligations by
reason of the general description contained in any instrument not a Loan
Document held by the Agent or by reason of any right of setoff, counterclaim,
banker's lien or otherwise. If, however, such property shall actually be applied
to the payment of amounts owing by the Borrower in connection with the Secured
Facility, then each Bank shall be entitled to its Pro Rata Share, if any, of
such application to the Secured Facility.

Any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication given by
telecopier or telex must be confirmed within forty-eight (48) hours by letter
mailed or delivered to the appropriate party at its address. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in any Loan Document, if any notice, request, demand,
direction or other communication is given by mail it will be effective on the

within ten (10) days after a change in any of the addresses to which or the
Persons to whom such notices are to be delivered. If any day on which any notice

been given on the next succeeding Banking Day.
8.2 Copies of Notices. Whenever any party to this Agreement is required to
give any notice, it shall do so in such number of copies as the Person entitled
to the same shall reasonably request.
8.3 No Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Agent, the
Banks or the Borrower in exercising any remedy, right, power or privilege under
this Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents or any other Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver of such remedy, right, power or privilege nor shall
any single or partial exercise of such remedy, right, power or privilege
preclude any other or further exercise of such remedy, right, power or privilege
or the exercise of any other remedy, right, power or privilege. No remedy,
right, power or privilege conferred upon or
61
62
reserved to the Agent, the Banks or the Borrower by this Agreement, the Note or
any Security Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, right,
power or privilege provided or permitted by this Agreement, by such Note, the
Security Documents, or by law, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to
every other remedy, right, power or privilege so provided or permitted and each
may be exercised concurrently or independently from time to time and as often as
may be deemed expedient by any such Person.
8.4 Amendments and Waivers.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Article V, no amendment or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document, and no consent with
respect to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless
the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Banks (or by the Agent
alone at the written request of the Majority Banks) and the Borrower, and
acknowledged by the Agent, and then any such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which

and acknowledged by the Agent:
(i) Increase the Commitment Amount or the Pro Rata Share of any
Bank;
(ii) Postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any
Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due

(iii) Reduce the rate of interest or (subject to subsection (b)
below) any fees or other amounts payable in connection with the Loan;
(iv) Change the voting percentage of the Commitment Amount or of
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan which is required for the

(vi) Discharge any Guarantor, or release all or substantially all
of the Collateral except as otherwise may be provided in the Loan Documents or
except where only the consent of the Majority Banks is expressly required.
No amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the
Agent under this Agreement or any Loan Document unless it is in writing and
signed by the Agent in addition to the required number of Banks. Any amendment,
supplement, modification, novation, waiver or consent shall be for such period
and
62
63
subject to such conditions as shall be specified in the written instrument
effecting the same.
(b) Any waiver or consent and any amendment, supplement, modification
or novation entered into, executed and delivered in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.4(a) shall be binding upon each of the parties to this
Agreement and the holder of the Note.
(c) Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
8.5 Certain Taxes; Expenses

each Bank harmless from and against any present or future claim or liability for
any registration, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes or charges and any
penalties or interest with respect to such taxes or charges which might be

expenses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such

(d) Whether or not the transactions contemplated herein shall be
consummated, the Borrower shall promptly pay (i) all the actual costs and
expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation of this
Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, all the actual costs of

covenanted to do herein or in any other Loan Document or if any representation
or warranty of the Borrower herein or therein is breached, the Banks, acting
through the Agent, may (but shall not be obligated to) do any such act or thing
or cause any such act or thing to be done to remedy that failure or breach, and
there shall be added to the Obligations the cost or expense incurred by the
Banks in so doing. All amounts expended or incurred by the Banks in taking any
such action shall be repayable to the Bank upon demand therefor and shall bear
interest at the Reference Rate plus five percent (5%) from the date advanced to
the date of repayment.
(e) The agreements contained in this Section 8.5 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
8.6 Binding Effect; Assignment.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of

under the Loan Documents, in a minimum amount of Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000) and in increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) thereafter;
provided, however, that except as provided in Section 8.6(f) below, in no event
shall the Assignor assign more than forty-nine percent (49%) of its initial Pro
Rata Share of the Secured Facility; and, provided further, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 8.6(c) below, the Borrower may continue to
deal solely and directly with the Assignor in connection with the interest so
assigned to Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with
payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the
Assignee shall have been given to the Borrower by the Assignor and (ii) the
Assignor, the Assignee
64
65
and the other Banks shall have executed and delivered to the Borrower an

Assignee and the Pro Rata Share, if any, retained by the Assignor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, BofA agrees that it, together with its
Affiliates, will in the aggregate retain no less than a twenty-five percent
(25%) interest in the Commitment Amount.
(c) From and after the date the Assignor and the other Banks have
received and executed the Assignment and Acceptance (and such Assignment and
Acceptance has been executed by the Assignee), the Assignee thereunder shall be
a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the
rights and obligations of the Assignor under the Loan Documents, and the
Assignor shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights
and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents.
(d) Except as provided in Section 2.4, no Bank shall be permitted to
sell participating interests in the Secured Facility.
(e) A Bank may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign
all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents to a
Federal Reserve Bank.
(f) Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.6, NBD Bank shall
have a one-time right to assign its entire Pro Rata Share to an Affiliate.

were upon the same instrument, and all such counterparts shall constitute but
one instrument. Complete sets of executed counterparts shall be delivered to the
Borrower, the Agent and each of the Banks.
8.8 Governing Law and Choice of Forum. This Agreement and the Note and the
rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the Note shall be

applicable to contracts made and performed within the State of California. Any
arbitration, reference, or litigation brought under this Agreement or the Note
shall be brought in the state or federal courts sitting in Los Angeles or Orange
County, California and the Borrower hereby waives any claim or defense that such
forum is not convenient or proper (except that foreclosure actions and other
actions brought with respect to Collateral located outside of California or
outside of Los Angeles or Orange County may be maintained in the appropriate
forums in the states or counties where such Collateral is located).
65
66
8.9 Agreement Supersedes. This Agreement supersedes all previous
negotiations, loan applications, and other understandings relating to the
subject matter of this Agreement or any other modification of the terms of the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing
clause shall not be construed to modify or waive in any way the provisions of,
or any of BofA's or the Borrower's rights or remedies under, the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, or any other agreement related thereto,
until such time as this Agreement and all other documents required to be
delivered hereunder have been executed and delivered by the party or parties
thereto and all conditions precedent to the effectiveness thereof have been
satisfied or waived in writing.
8.10 Headings; Table of Contents. The article, section and subsection
headings and the Table of Contents to this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Agreement.
8.11 Waiver of Notice; Termination of Agreement. The Borrower by executing
this Agreement, waives any right it might otherwise have to require notice or
acceptance by any other Person of its obligations or liabilities under this
Agreement which are unconditional and absolute and waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, protest or notice with respect to any of the
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan
Documents and with respect to any action under Section 6.1 and all other notices
and demands whatsoever, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or
for any reason whatsoever other than in accordance with its terms, the Borrower
shall nevertheless be obligated to pay amounts equal to amounts payable by it at
the time such amounts would have become due and payable by it in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents had this
Agreement not been so terminated.
8.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made in this Agreement and in any certificate or other document
delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and such certificate or other document.
8.13 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any Note or any Loan
Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement
or the Note, or any Loan Document and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.
8.14 Confidential Information. Upon notification in writing by the Borrower
to the Agent and the Banks that certain specified financial data and information
furnished to the Agent or any Bank relating to the Borrower are confidential,
each Bank shall, insofar as it is legally possible, use its reasonable efforts
to keep in confidence all
66
67
such data and information; provided, however, that (i) this Section 8.14 shall
not be applicable to data and information otherwise disseminated to the public;
(ii) such Bank may comply with any Applicable Law requiring disclosure of such
data and information; (iii) such Bank may disclose such data and information to
any transferee or prospective transferee of any part of such Bank's interest in
the Loans or this Agreement which has agreed to hold such data and information
confidential in accordance with this Section 8.14; and (iv) each Bank may
disclose such data and information to its accountants, auditors, attorneys and
other Persons whether in its employ, acting on its behalf, or engaged on an
independent basis, insofar as disclosure of such data and information is
necessary to enable such Persons to properly perform and discharge their duties
and functions to such Bank (provided that such Bank will use reasonable efforts
to request that such Persons keep such data and information confidential [but in
no event shall the Bank have any obligation to obtain any written agreement or
acknowledgment from such Persons to keep such data and information
confidential]). No Bank shall be responsible or liable to the Borrower for any
breach of this Section 8.14 by any other Person described in subparagraph (iv)
above who is not an employee of such Bank.
8.15 Reference and Arbitration.
(a) Judicial Reference. In any judicial action between or among the
parties, including but not limited to any action or cause of action arising out
of or relating to this Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents or any other
Loan Document or based on or arising from an alleged tort, all decisions of fact
and law shall at the request of any party be referred to a referee in accordance
with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 638 et seq. The parties shall
designate to the court a referee or referees selected under the auspices of the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in the same manner as arbitrators are
selected in AAA-sponsored proceedings. The presiding referee of the panel, or
the referee if there is a single referee, shall be an active attorney or retired
judge. Judgment upon the award rendered by such referee or referees shall be
entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with
California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.
(b) Mandatory Arbitration. After all Deeds of Trust have been
released, fully reconveyed, or extinguished, any controversy or claim between or
among the parties, including those arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
the Note, the Security Documents or any other Loan Document and any claim based
on or arising from an alleged tort, shall at the request of any party be
determined by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with
the United States Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code), notwithstanding any
choice of law provision in this Agreement, and under the Commercial Rules of the
AAA. The arbitrator(s) shall give effect to statutes of limitation in
determining any claim. Any controversy concerning whether an issue is arbitrable
shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon the arbitration award
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance
of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy
shall not constitute
67
68
a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the
controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for
judicial relief.
(c) Real Property Collateral. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 8.15(b), no controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration
without the consent of all parties if, at the time of the proposed submission,
such controversy or claim arises from or relates to an obligation to any of the
Banks which is secured by real property collateral. If all parties do not
consent to submission of such a controversy or claim to arbitration, the
controversy or claim shall be determined as provided in Section 8.15(a).
(d) Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. No provision of
this Section 8.15 shall limit the right of any party to this Agreement to
exercise self-help remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of any
real or personal property collateral or security, or obtaining provisional or
ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after, or
during the pendency of any arbitration or other proceeding. The exercise of a
remedy does not waive the right of either party to resort to arbitration or
reference. At the Banks' option, foreclosure under a Deed of Trust may be
accomplished either by exercise or power of sale under the Deed of Trust or by
judicial foreclosure.
(e) Attorneys' Fees. In any arbitration or other proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, the prevailing party will be
entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees (including the allocated cost
of in-house counsel), costs and expenses.

Attention: Mr. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Vice President and Regional Manager
Re: Bank of America NT & SA ("Bank") --
Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. ("Borrower");
850,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit;
Insurance Requirements
------------------------------------------
Gentlemen:
This letter shall clarify Borrower's obligations under Section 5.3 of that
certain Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated as of even
date herewith, pursuant to which Borrower has agreed to maintain insurance on
all of the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Capitalized terms
used herein without definition shall have the meanings for them set forth in
the Credit Agreement.
Without in any way limiting Section 5.3 of the Credit Agreement, and in
consideration of Bank's entering into the Credit Agreement, Borrower hereby
agrees that its obligations under such Section shall include the following:
1. All policies of insurance required under the Loan
Documents shall be issued by companies approved by Bank having a minimum
A.M. Best's rating of A:IX. The limits, coverage, forms, deductibles,
inception and expiration dates and cancellation provisions of all such
policies shall be in form, substance, amount and date reasonably
acceptable to Bank. In addition, each required property insurance
policy shall contain a Lender's Loss Payable Form (Form 438 BFU or
equivalent) in favor of Bank, and shall provide that all proceeds be
payable to Bank to the extent of Bank's interest. An approval by Bank
is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a representation of the solvency
of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance.
2. Each policy of insurance required under the Loan
Documents shall provide that it may not be modified or cancelled without
at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Bank. When any
required insurance policy expires, Borrower shall furnish Bank with
proof acceptable to Bank that
I-1
104

BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST
AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION

Page 2
the policy has been reinstated or a new policy issued, continuing in
force the insurance covered by the policy which expired. Borrower shall
also furnish Bank with evidence satisfactory to Bank that all premiums
for such policy have been paid within thirty (30) days of renewal or
issuance. If Bank fails to receive such proof and evidence, Bank shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain current coverage and
advance funds to pay the premiums for it. Borrower shall repay Bank
immediately on demand for any advance for such premiums, which shall be
considered to be an additional loan to Borrower bearing interest at the
Reference Rate plus three percent (3%), and secured by the Deeds of
Trust and any other collateral held by Bank in connection with the
Credit Agreement.
3. With respect to any construction repair or restoration
work to be performed on any of the Collateral, Borrower shall provide
such policy or policies of worker's compensation insurance as may be
required by applicable worker's compensation insurance laws (including
employer's liability insurance, if required by Bank), covering all
employees of Borrower and the general contractor performing such work.
4. With respect to any construction repair or restoration
work to be performed on any of the Collateral, Borrower shall provide a
policy or policies of builder's "all risk" insurance in nonreporting
form, in an amount not less than the full insurable completed value, on
a replacement cost basis, of the Collateral on which the construction
work is being performed. The policy or policies shall insure against
loss or damage by hazards customarily included within such "all risk"
policies and any other risks or hazards which Bank may reasonably
specify, and each shall contain a Lender's Loss Payable Endorsement
(Form 438 BFU) in favor of Bank.
5. Borrower shall provide comprehensive liability insurance
naming Bank as an additional insured, on an "occurrence" basis against
claims for "personal injury" liability, including bodily injury, death
or property damage liability, with limit of not less than Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000.00) per occurrence, with a deductible not to exceed
$10,000.00 per occurrence. Such insurance shall be primary and
noncontributory with any other insurance carried by Bank.
