AGREEMENT:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:

(c) Section 2(b) of the Note is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“Except as permitted in the Deed of Trust as set forth in Article XXI, this Note may not be prepaid in full or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided there is no Event of Default, this Note may be prepaid in full without payment of the Prepayment Premium during the last 120 days of the Term. This Note may not be prepaid without simultaneous prepayment in full of any other notes secured by the Loan Documents (which, include, without limitation, the Crossed Deeds of Trust); provided that, without limiting the terms and conditions of the Crossed Loan Documents, payments required herein on the Maturity Date shall not constitute a prepayment requiring payment in full of the Crossed Loans. “Prepayment Premium” means the greater of (i) an amount equal to the product of 1% times the Prepayment Date Principal, and (ii) the amount by which the sum of the Discounted Values of Note Payments, calculated at the Discount Rate, exceeds the Prepayment Date Principal.”

 

(d) Section 3 of the Note is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“(a) It is an “Event of Default” under this Note:

 

(i) if Borrower fails to pay any amount due, as and when required, under this Note or any other Loan Document and the failure continues for a period of 5 days; or

 

(ii) if an Event of Default occurs under any other Loan Document; or

 

(iii) if an “Event of Default” as defined in the Crossed Notes occurs under any of the Crossed Notes.

 

“(b) If an Event of Default occurs, Lender may declare all or any portion of the Debt immediately due and payable (“Acceleration”) and exercise any of the other Remedies (as defined in the Deed of Trust). In addition to the foregoing, if an Event of Default occurs, Lender may declare that an “Event of Default” as defined in the Crossed Notes has occurred and that all or any portion of the “Debt” as defined in each of the Crossed Notes is immediately due and payable (which shall be an “Acceleration” as defined in the Crossed Notes and which shall permit Lender to exercise any of the other “Remedies” as referenced in the Crossed Notes).”

 

Section 3. Obligations. Section 3.1 of the Deed of Trust is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(iv) the proposed Permitted Transfer will not result in a violation of Laws pertaining to anti-terrorism (other than those referenced in the Section entitled, “Compliance with Anti-Terrorism Laws”) or money laundering and Borrower will deliver to Lender such documentation of compliance as Lender requests in its sole discretion;

 

-5-


(v) when Lender receives the notice and when the proposed Permitted Transfer occurs, the transferee has never been an adverse party to Lender in any litigation to which Lender was a party; the transferee has never defaulted on a loan from Lender or on any contract or other agreement with Lender; and the transferee has never threatened litigation against Lender (for purposes of this subsection “transferee” includes the transferee’s constituent entities at all levels and “Lender” includes Lender’s subsidiaries);

 

(vi) Borrower pays all of Lender’s expenses relating to the Transfer including Lender’s attorneys’ fees; and

 

(vii) Lender is satisfied that the Property will continue to be managed by a manager satisfactory to Lender.

 

Provided that no Event of Default has occurred, notwithstanding the prohibitions regarding Transfers, Permitted Transfers pursuant to Section 12.2(b)(i) may occur without Lender’s prior consent, and without satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Subsections 12.2(a)(i),(ii),(iii),(iv),(v) and (vii), provided that within 120 days after the close of each Fiscal Year, Borrower has certified to Lender that (A) there is no Event of Default under the Loan Documents when any such Permitted Transfers occurred; (B) such Permitted Transfers do not result in a violation of any of the covenants contained in the Section entitled, “ERISA Compliance” or in the Section entitled, “Compliance with Anti-Terrorism Laws;” and (C) such Permitted Transfers do not result in a violation of Laws pertaining to anti-terrorism (other than those referenced in the Section entitled, “Compliance with Anti-Terrorism Laws”) or money laundering and Borrower will deliver to Lender such documentation of compliance as Lender requests in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if that certain Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Catellus Operating Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), dated                     , 2003, as set forth in that certain Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated August 15, 2003, is amended at anytime such that the rights of the limited partners under the Partnership Agreement are materially increased, Borrower shall deliver a copy of such amendment to Lender, and Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to require that Borrower comply with all of the conditions set forth in Subsections 12.2(a)(i) – (vii) with respect to subsequent Permitted Transfers pursuant to Section 12.2(b)(i).

 

“(b) Upon compliance with the conditions set forth in the preceding subsection, the following Transfers (the “Permitted Transfers”) may occur without Lender’s prior consent:

Section 8. The Deed of Trust is hereby modified by adding the following as a new Article XX to the Deed of Trust:

 

Section 20.1. Cross-Default and Cross-Collateralization Joinder and Waiver Provisions.

 

“(a) Without limiting its other obligations herein, Borrower executes this Deed of Trust for the purpose of (i) securing payment and performance of the Obligations (including those certain “Obligations” as defined in the Crossed Deeds of Trust), even though Borrower is not personally liable for the payment or performance of certain Obligations; and (ii) conveying to Trustee all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Property and to each of the provisions of this Deed of Trust.

 

“(b) Borrower agrees that any and all conditions precedent or subsequent to subjecting its interest in the Property to the lien of this Deed of Trust have either been satisfied or are expressly and irrevocably waived. Borrower has no defense to the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the enforcement of any remedy provided for herein or in any other document evidencing the Loan or the Crossed Loans and agrees that this Deed of Trust shall at all times be and remain a valid first and prior lien and charge upon its interest in the Property for the repayment of the full indebtedness secured hereby and any renewal or extensions thereof without regard to any act or omission of SFPP, Trustee or Lender, either past, present or future. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower hereby waives the benefits of any right of discharge under any and all statutes or other laws relating to guarantors or sureties and any other rights of sureties and guarantors thereunder, including without limitation, diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest, and all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve intact Lender’s rights against Borrower hereunder, including, but not limited to, notice of acceptance, notice of any amendment of the Loan Documents, or the “Loan Documents” as defined in the Crossed Deeds of Trust, by Lender and SFPP, notice of the occurrence of any default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with the Loan Documents, or the “Loan

 

-10-


Documents” as defined in the Crossed Deeds of Trust, and all rights to require Lender to proceed against SFPP or Borrower or to pursue any other remedy it may now or hereafter have against SFPP or Borrower.

 

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees, notwithstanding any rights and benefits that may otherwise apply to a surety that:

 

(A) it waives the rights and benefits under Civil Code Section 2819, and that its liability shall continue even if Lender’s remedies or rights against SFPP are in any way impaired or suspended without Borrower’s consent;

 

(B) it waives any and all benefits and defenses under Civil Code Section 2810 and Borrower is liable even if SFPP had no liability at the time of execution of the Note, the other Loan Documents, the “Loan Documents” as defined in the Crossed Deeds of Trust, or thereafter ceased to be liable;

 

(C) it waives any and all benefits and defenses under Civil Code Section 2809 and agrees that its liability may be larger in amount and more burdensome than that of SFPP;

 

(D) it waives any and all benefits and defenses under Civil Code Sections 2845, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433, including, without limitation, any right to require Lender to (i) proceed against SFPP or any other pledgor, or (ii) pursue any other right or remedy for Borrower’s benefit, and agrees that Lender may proceed against Borrower’s right, title and interest in the Land and the other Property for the Obligations without taking any action against SFPP or any other pledgor and except as expressly provided herein to the contrary without proceeding against any other collateral Lender holds;

 

(E) Lender may unqualifiedly exercise, in its sole and absolute discretion, any or all rights and remedies available to it against SFPP or any other pledgor without impairing Lender’s rights and remedies in enforcing the Obligations against Borrower; and

 

(F) Lender’s exercise of certain of such rights or remedies may affect or eliminate Borrower’s right of subrogation or recovery against SFPP or another pledgor and that Borrower may incur partially or totally non-reimbursable liability under this Deed of Trust.

 

(ii) Borrower hereby waives all benefits and defenses under Civil Code Sections 2847, 2848 and 2849 and agrees that Borrower shall have no right of subrogation or reimbursement against SFPP or any other pledgor, no right of subrogation against any collateral or security provided for in the Loan Documents or in the “Loan Documents” as defined in the Crossed Deeds of Trust and no right of contribution against any other pledgor unless and until all amounts due under the Loan Documents and under the “Loan Documents” as defined in the Crossed Deeds of Trust have been paid in full and Lender has released, transferred or disposed of all of its right, title and interest in the

 

-11-


Property and each “Property” as defined in each of the Crossed Deeds of Trust. To the extent any Borrower’s waiver of these rights of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, Borrower agrees that Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against SFPP or any other pledgor and right of subrogation against any collateral or security shall be unconditionally junior and subordinate to Lender’s rights against SFPP and to Lender’s right, title and interest in such collateral or security, and Borrower’s right of contribution against SFPP or any other pledgor shall be unconditionally junior and subordinate to Lender’s rights against such party.

 

(iii) Borrower agrees that it shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, by (i) Lender’s failure to perfect or continue the perfection of any lien or security interest in collateral which secures the Obligations, (ii) Lender’s failure to protect the property covered by such lien or security interest, or (iii) any consent by Lender to the transfer, subordination, release, substitution or liquidation of any portion of the collateral which secures the Obligations.

 

(iv) So long as any of the Obligations shall remain owing to Lender, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, commence or join with any other party in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings of Borrower or against SFPP or any other pledgor.

 

(v) Borrower’s waivers herein are made knowing that their intent is to deprive Borrower of the benefits and defenses that would or could otherwise be available to Borrower as a guarantor under the statutory provisions and case law referenced herein.

 

(vi) If any payment by SFPP is held to constitute a preference under any applicable bankruptcy or similar laws, or if for any reason Lender is required to refund any sums to SFPP, such amounts shall not constitute a release of any liability hereunder. It is the intention of Lender and Borrower that Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by SFPP’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

 

(vii) Borrower agrees that any indebtedness of SFPP now or hereafter held by Borrower is hereby and shall be unconditionally subordinated to all indebtedness of SFPP to Lender and any such indebtedness of SFPP shall be collected, enforced and received by Borrower, as trustee for Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Borrower for the Obligations.

 

(viii) Borrower hereby waives all rights and remedies arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though, that election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Obligations, has destroyed Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against SFPP or any other pledgor. In addition, Borrower hereby waives all defenses that Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by real property in addition to the Property.

 

(ix) Borrower acknowledges that nothing contained in the Deed of Trust shall affect any of SFPP’s or any Borrower’s obligations under any lease agreement relating to the Property.

 

-12-

3.3(f).1. Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Borrower contained in all of the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the Substitution with respect to the Substitution Property and the ownership thereof with the same effect as if made on and as of such date.

 

3.3(f).2. Deliverables. Borrower shall deliver to Lender the following items, all to be satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, and Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lender’s receipt of such items does not constitute Lender’s approval of such items:

After Lender’s approval, with respect to the Substitution Property, none of the foregoing may be amended prior to the date of the Substitution without Lender’s prior written consent;
