(b)              Borrower shall indemnify Lender (hereinafter, “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or Indemnitor arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Loan transactions, or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Borrower or Indemnitor has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(c)              The obligations on the part of Borrower under this Section 7.6 shall survive the closing of the Loan and the repayment thereof.

 

8.7          No Third Party Reliance.  No third party shall be entitled to rely upon this Agreement or to have any of the benefits of Lender’s interest hereunder, unless such third party is an express assignee of all or a portion of Lender’s interest hereunder.

 

8.8          Sale of Loan or Participations.  Lender may at any time sell, transfer, syndicate, grant participations in or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Loan (each such interest so

disposed of being herein called a “Transferred Interest”) to banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions (hereinafter called “Transferees”), pursuant to such transfer agreements, co-lender agreements, participations agreements and/or agency agreements into which Lender and its Transferees may enter and by which Borrower shall agree in writing to recognize.  In addition, Lender may, at any time and from time to time, in its ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable law, (i) assign an undivided interest in the Loan to an Affiliate of Lender or to a successor entity by reason of any merger affecting Lender, or (ii) pledge or assign the same to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.  At the request of Lender, in the event of any such sale, assignment, transfer or syndication, Borrower shall execute separate new Notes to the Assignor and its assignee, in the amounts of their respective interests in the Loan after said assignment, and shall deliver the same to the assignor and the assignee, in exchange for the assignor’s existing Note.  All such separate new Notes shall be entitled to all the rights and benefits accorded to the Note under the terms of the Loan Documents.  No such assignment shall be binding upon Borrower until Lender gives written notice thereof to Borrower.  Lender may divulge all information relating to Borrower or the Property which Lender has to any actual or potential Transferee, and Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in connection with the transfer.  Borrower agrees that each Transferee shall be entitled to the benefits hereof with respect to its Transferred Interest and that each Transferee may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff and counterclaim as if such Transferee were a direct lender to Borrower.  If Lender makes any assignment to a Transferee, then upon notice to Borrower such Transferee, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), shall become a lender hereunder and shall have all the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder, and Lender shall be released from its duties and obligations under this agreement to the extent of such assignment.

 

So long as (and only so long as) no event of default then exists at the time of a disposition of a Transferred Interest, confidential information regarding Borrower given to such Transferees shall be kept confidential except to the extent such Transferee is required to disclose such information by reason of any applicable law or regulation.

 

8.9          Arrangement by Brokers.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this Loan and the transaction contemplated hereby has been made or arranged by the Brokers as described in Section 1916.1 of the California Civil Code, and as such, this transaction is exempt from Section 1 of Article XV of the California Constitution.

 

8.10        Recourse.  Upon an event of default, Lender will look solely to the Property for the repayment of the Loan and will not enforce or seek a judgment against Borrower; provided, however, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for: (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation in connection with the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents; (ii) Borrower’s misapplication or misappropriation of rents received by Borrower after the occurrence of a default or event of default; (iii) Borrower’s misapplication or misappropriation of security deposits or rents collected more than thirty (30) days in advance; (iv) Borrower’s misapplication or the misappropriation of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards; (v) Borrower’s failure to pay prior to delinquency any Impositions (as defined in the Deed of Trust) (except to the extent that sums sufficient to pay such amounts have been deposited in escrow with Lender), charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create liens on the Property; (vi) Borrower’s failure to return or to reimburse Lender for all Collateral

 

23



 

taken from the Property by or on behalf of Borrower and not replaced with Collateral of the same utility and of the same or greater value in violation of the terms of the Loan Documents; (vii) any act of intentional waste or arson by Borrower or any affiliate thereof with respect to the Property; or (viii) Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 1.12 of the Deed of Trust.

 

8.11        Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence hereof with respect to the dates, terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

8.12        Entire Agreement; No Oral Modifications.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents mentioned herein and executed as of the date hereof set forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Loan and supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements with respect thereto.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

 

8.13        Captions.  The headings or captions of the Articles and Sections set forth herein are for convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement and are not to be considered in interpreting this Agreement.

 

8.14        Joint and Several Liability.  If Borrower consists of more than one (1) individual and/or entity, each of said individuals and/or entities shall be jointly and severally liable for each covenant, agreement, representation and warranty of Borrower hereunder.

 

8.15        Borrower-Lender Relationship.  The relationship between Borrower and Lender created hereby and by the other Loan Documents shall be that of a borrower and a lender only, and in no event shall Lender be deemed to be a partner of, or a joint venturer with, Borrower.

 

8.16        Benefit of Lender.  The rights of the Lender under the Loan Documents are for the benefit of Lender solely in its capacity as a lender in connection with the Loan and are not intended to benefit the Lender in its capacity as the “Buyer” under the Option Agreement.

 

8.17        Reserved.

 

8.18        Pledge of Accounts.  Borrower shall grant to Lender a perfected security interest in the Accounts as additional security for the Loan.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Lender shall be entitled to foreclose upon Borrower’s interest in the Accounts either before, after or together with the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust.  Upon any such foreclosure, all amounts contained in the Accounts shall be applied to reduce the balance of Loan Amount.  On or prior to the Closing Date, Lender, Borrower and the financial institutions maintaining the Accounts shall enter into “control agreements” for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in the Accounts as provided under the UCC.

 

8.19        Prohibition Against Transfers.  Borrower shall not permit any Transfer to be undertaken or cause any Transfer to occur, other than a Permitted Transfer.  Any Transfer made in violation of this Loan Agreement shall be void.

 

24



 

8.20        Lender Approval.  Lender’s decision to approve any Transfer proposed by Borrower shall be made in Lender’s sole discretion and Lender shall not be obligated to approve any Transfer.

 

8.21        Personal Property Financings.  Lender hereby agrees that Borrower shall be permitted to secure financings and grant liens on the Collateral but not on the Land and Improvements to other lenders.  Lender agrees to subordinate its lien on the Collateral to such other liens in order to facilitate such financings; provided, however, the terms of such financings shall be commercially reasonable.
