SECTION 1.2 Assignment of Rents. Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all current and future Leases and Rents; it being intended by Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of the Assignment of Leases, the Cash Management Agreement and Section 7.1(h) of this Security Instrument, Lender grants to Borrower a revocable license to collect, receive, use and enjoy the Rents and Borrower shall hold the Rents, or a portion thereof sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt, for use in the payment of such sums.
 
SECTION 1.3 Security Agreement. This Security Instrument is both a real property mortgage or deed of trust and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security Instrument, Borrower hereby grants to Lender and Trustee, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter defined), a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property to the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the “Collateral”). If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender or Trustee, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Lender or Trustee after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender or Trustee at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender or Trustee in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition or
 

5



 
other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. Borrower’s (debtor’s) principal place of business is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Lender (secured party) is as set forth on page one hereof.
 
SECTION 1.4 Fixture Filing. Certain of the Property is or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land, and this Security Instrument, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the city or county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become fixtures.
 
SECTION 1.5 Pledges of Monies Held. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of Lender, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Lockbox Account, the Cash Management Account, the Reserve Funds and Net Proceeds, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.

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

14



 
cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 7.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender.

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

(c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
 
SECTION 7.8 Right to Release Any Portion of the Property. Lender, or Trustee upon written instructions from Lender, may release any portion of the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.
 
SECTION 7.9 Violation of Laws. If the Property is not in material compliance with Legal Requirements, Lender may impose additional requirements upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.

The provisions of Sections 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 herein are recourse and Borrower and any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan are fully and personally liable for the obligations pursuant to Sections 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 herein to the extent provided in the Loan Agreement and the Guaranties, and under the laws of the State of California.

16



 
extent provided in the Loan Agreement and under the laws of the State of California.

SECTION 14.6 Subrogation.

ARTICLE 15
 
TRUSTEE’S FEES; SUBSTITUTE TRUSTEE; POWER OF SALE
 
SECTION 15.1 Trustee’s Fees. Borrower shall pay all statutory or otherwise reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by Trustee and Trustee’s agents and counsel in connection with the performance by Trustee of Trustee’s duties hereunder and all such costs, fees and expenses shall be secured by this Security Instrument.
 
SECTION 15.2 Substitute Trustee. Trustee shall be under no duty to take any action hereunder except as expressly required hereunder or by law, or to perform any act which would involve Trustee in any expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, unless properly indemnified to Trustee’s reasonable satisfaction. Trustee, by acceptance of this Security Instrument, covenants to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable, however, only for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services rendered by Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event of the resignation or death of Trustee, or Trustee’s failure, refusal or inability, for any reason, or, at the option of Lender, without cause, Lender may appoint, in writing (but without any other formality or need to record same of public record, to the extent permitted by law), a substitute trustee, who shall thereupon succeed to all the estates, titles, rights, powers and trusts herein granted to and vested in Trustee. Lender may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and select a successor trustee. In the event of the death, removal, resignation, refusal to act, or inability to act of Trustee, or in its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever, Lender may, without notice and without specifying any reason therefor and without applying to any court, select and appoint a successor trustee, by an instrument recorded wherever this Security Instrument is recorded and all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon become vested in such successor. Such substitute trustee shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of the duties of Trustee hereunder unless required by Lender. The procedure provided for in this paragraph for substitution of Trustee shall be in addition to and not in exclusion of any other provisions for substitution, by law or otherwise.
 
SECTION 15.3 Power of Sale.
 
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Trustee, or the agent or successor of Trustee, at the request of Lender, shall sell or offer for sale the Property in such portions, order and parcels as Lender may determine with or without having first taken possession of same, to the highest bidder for cash at one or more public auctions in accordance with the terms and provisions of the law of the State in which the Property is located. Such sale
 

24



 
shall be made at the area within the courthouse of the county in which the Property (or any portion thereof to be sold) is situated (whether the parts or parcels thereof, if any, in different counties are contiguous or not, and without the necessity of having any personal property hereby secured present at such sale) which is designated by the applicable court of such County as the area in which public sales are to take place, or, if no such area is designated, at the area at the courthouse designated in the notice of sale as the area in which the sale will take place, on such day and at such times as permitted under applicable law of the State where the Property is located, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale and that portion of the Property in accordance with such law, and after having served written or printed notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on each Borrower obligated to pay the Note and other secured indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument according to the records of Lender in accordance with applicable law. The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of service.
 
At any such public sale, Trustee may execute and deliver in the name of Borrower to the purchaser a conveyance of the Property or any part of the Property in fee simple. In the event of any sale under this Security Instrument by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Property may be sold in its entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Lender in its sole discretion may elect, and if Lender so elects, Trustee may sell the personal property covered by this Security Instrument at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Property is located, and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers, until all the Property is sold or the Note and other secured indebtedness is paid in full. If the Note and other secured indebtedness is now or hereafter further secured by any chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts or guaranty, assignments of lease, or other security instruments, Lender at its option may exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security instruments either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Lender may determine.
 
(b) Upon any foreclosure sale or sales of all or any portion of the Property under the power herein granted, Lender may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Debt as a credit to the purchase price.
 
In the event of a foreclosure or a sale of all or any portion of the Property under the power herein granted, the proceeds of said sale shall be applied, in whatever order Lender in its sole discretion may decide, to the expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), to fees and expenses of Trustee (including, without limitation, Trustee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), to insurance premiums, liens, assessments, taxes and charges (including, without limitation, utility charges advanced by Lender), to payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Debt, and to the accrued interest on all of the foregoing; and the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Borrower, or to the person or entity lawfully entitled thereto.

Anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere notwithstanding, the obligations of any guarantor under the Guaranty Agreement or under any other separate guaranty accepted by Lender shall not be secured by this Security Instrument, any separate assignment of leases or assignment of rents, or any other lien encumbering the Property; provided however that the Environmental Indemnity shall be so secured, subject to the rights of Lender to proceed on an unsecured basis thereunder pursuant to applicable law.
