conditions set forth in Section 13 of this Deed of Trust with respect to the disposition of
insurance proceeds; provided, however, that if the taking results in a loss of the Property to an
extent which, in the reasonable opinion of Beneficiary, renders or will render the Property not
economically viable or which substantially impairs Beneficiary's security or lessens to any extent
the value, marketability or intended use of the Property, Beneficiary may apply the
condemnation proceeds to reduce any outstanding amounts secured by this Deed of Trust in such
order as Beneficiary may determine. Trustor agrees to execute such further assignments of

and sets over unto Beneficiary, all leases, subleases, rental agreements, occupancy agreements,

any part of the Property, together with all rents, issues, deposits and profits of the Property,
together with the immediate and continuing right to collect and receive the same, for the purpose
and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Trustor further unconditionally and
absolutely assigns, transfers and sets over unto Beneficiary all of its right, title and interest in and
to any plans, drawings, specifications, permits, engineering reports and land planning maps, that

upon the Property. Beneficiary confers upon Trustor a license to collect and retain the rents,
RVPUB\DGW\686844.1 15
0 9
issues, deposits and profits of the Property, as they become due and payable, subject, however, to
the right of Beneficiary upon a default under this Deed of Trust to revoke said license, at any
time, in its sole discretion and without notice to Trustor. Beneficiary may revoke said license and
collect and retain the rents, issues, deposits and profits of the Property assigned in this Deed of
Trust to Beneficiary upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust or
under any of the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, and without taking possession of all
or any part of the Property, and without prejudice to or limitation upon any of its additional
rights and remedies granted pursuant to this Deed of Trust or pursuant to the Agreement or any
other Transaction Documents, and Beneficiary shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, have the
right to apply such income for the payment of all expenses or credit the net amount of income
that it receives from the Property, to the indebtedness in the manner, order and amounts as
Beneficiary shall determine. In the event the Beneficiary exercises or is entitled to exercise any
of its rights or remedies under this Deed of Trust as a result of the default of the Trustor under
the Agreement, and if any lessee, sublessee or assignee under any lease assigned under this
Section 22 files or has filed against it any petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or
undertakes or is subject to similar action, Beneficiary shall have, and is hereby assigned by
Trustor, all of the rights that would otherwise inure to the benefit of Trustor in such proceedings,
including, without limitation, the right to seek "adequate protection" of its interests, to compel
assumption or rejection of any such lease and to seek such claims and awards as may be sought
or granted in connection with the rejection of any such lease. Unless otherwise agreed to by
Beneficiary in writing, Beneficiary's exercise of any of the rights provided in this Section 22
shall preclude Trustor from the pursuit and benefit of any such rights, without any further action
or proceeding of any nature. The foregoing assignment shall not impose upon Beneficiary any
duty to produce rents from the Property, and such assignment shall not cause Beneficiary to be a
"mortgagee in possession" for any purpose. The rights granted in this Section 22 shall be in
addition to and not in derogation of any similar or related rights granted to Beneficiary in any
separate assignment of leases and rents. .
23. Impairment of Security. Trustor shall not, without first obtaining Beneficiary's written
consent, assign any of the rents or profits of the Property or change the general nature or use of
the Property or initiate or acquiesce in any zoning reclassification, or do, or suffer to be done,
any act or thing that would impair the security of Beneficiary's lien upon the Property or the rents
from the Property. Trustor shall not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, (i) initiate
or support any zoning reclassification of the Property, seek any variance under existing zoning
ordinances applicable to the Property or use or permit the use of the Property in a manner that
would result in such use becoming a non - conforming use under applicable zoning ordinances;
(ii) modify, amend or supplement any easement, reservation, restriction, covenant, condition or
encumbrance pertaining to the Property; (iii) impose or consent to any restrictive covenant or
encumbrance upon the Property, execute or file any subdivision or parcel map affecting the
Property or consent to the annexation of the Property to any municipality; or (iv) permit or suffer
the Property to be used by the public or any person in such manner as. might make possible a
claim of any implied dedication or easement.
24. Defense of Suits. Trustor shall appear in and defend any suit, action or proceeding that
might affect the value, priority or enforceability of this Deed of Trust or the Property itself or the
rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee, including any suits relating to damage to property or
death or personal injuries, whether or not Trustor is ultimately found liable for any negligence or
other wrongful conduct or inaction. Trustor, following mutual negotiations with Beneficiary, has
RVPUB%DM686844.1 16
waived and does hereby waive any immunity to such liability to Beneficiary under any industrial
insurance or similar statute, to the extent such immunity would impair Beneficiary's rights
against Trustor. Should Beneficiary elect to appear in or defend any such action or proceeding or
be made a party to.any such action or proceeding by reason of this Deed of Trust, or elect to
prosecute such action as appears necessary to preserve the value, priority or enforceability of this
Deed of Trust or the Property itself, Trustor will at all times indemnify from and, on demand,
reimburse Beneficiary and Trustee for, any and all loss, damage, expense or cost; including cost
of evidence of title, expert witness fees and attorneys' fees, arising out of or incurred in
connection with any such suit, action or proceeding, and any appeal or petition for review of any
such suit, action, or proceeding and the sum of such expenditures shall be secured by this Deed
of Trust with interest at the rate of 10% per annum and shall be due and payable on demand.
Trustor shall pay all costs of suit, cost of evidence of title, expert witness fees and reasonable
attorneys' fees in any action, proceeding or suit brought by Beneficiary to foreclose this Deed of
Trust and in any appeal or petition for review of any such action, proceeding or suit..
25. Assignments and Transfers. Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary relied upon Trustor's
financial statements, credit history, business and real property managerial expertise and other
factors personal to Trustor in entering into the Agreement, and Trustor covenants not to transfer
any of the interest in the Property or to permit the transfer of any interest in Trustor without first
receiving Beneficiary's express written consent in each instance. A breach of this covenant shall
constitute a default under the Agreement and this Deed of Trust. All sums then due to
Beneficiary by Trustor under this Deed of Trust or under the Agreement may, at Beneficiary's
option, be declared immediately due and payable if any of Trustor's interests in the Property, or
any part thereof, are sold or. transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily, without Beneficiary's prior
written consent.
26. No Further Encumbrances. Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary relied upon the
Property not being subject to additional liens or encumbrances for reasons including, but not
limited to, the possibility of competing claims or the promotion of plans disadvantageous to
Beneficiary in bankruptcy; the risks to Beneficiary in a junior lienholdei s bankruptcy; questions
involving the priority of future advances, the priority of future leases of the Property, the
marshaling of Trustor's assets, and the Beneficiary's rights to determine the application of
condemnation awards and insurance proceeds; the impairment of the Beneficiary's option to
accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure; the increased difficulty of reaching agreements for workouts
or to the actions to be taken by trustees, receivers, liquidators and fiduciaries; and Beneficiary's
requirements of Trustor s preservation of its equity in the Property and the absence of debt that
could increase the likelihood of Trustor's being unable to perform its obligations when due.
Therefore, as a principal inducement to Beneficiary to enter into the Agreement secured by this
Deed of Trust, and with the knowledge that Beneficiary will materially rely upon this Section 26
in so doing, Trustor covenants not to encumber the Property without first receiving Beneficiary's
express written consent in each instance, which consent may be withheld by Beneficiary in its
sole discretion. A breach of this covenant shall constitute a default under the Agreement and this
Deed of Trust, and Beneficiary may exercise all remedies available to Beneficiary under the
Agreement or this Deed of Trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no mortgages,
deeds of trust or other forms of security interests prior or subordinate to the security interests of
Beneficiary shall encumber any real or personal property that is the subject of any lien or
RVPUB \DGW\686844.1 17
0 0
security interest granted to Beneficiary, under this Deed of Trust, without Beneficiary's prior
written consent.

of the following events:
27.1 The Trustor or the Operator fails to perform any of the non - monetary covenants
and conditions of the Promissory Note or Section 6.3 or Section 6.4 of the Agreement, and such

written notice of the failure to the Trustor or the Operator from the. Agency or the expiration of
an applicable shorter cure period set forth in the Promissory Note or the Agreement; provided,
however, that for so long as the Trustor and the Operator are satisfying their joint and several
obligations to cause the generation of both the Minimum Assessed Valuation and the Minimum
Annual Sales Tax Amount or, alternatively, paying both the In -Lieu Tax Increment Payment and
the In -Lieu Minimum Sales Tax Payment, no default under this Deed of Trust shall occur by

after demand by the Agency, does not pay such taxes or assessments or reimburse the Agency
for such taxes and assessments or, in the opinion of counsel for the Agency, it might be unlawful
to require the Trustor to make such payment or the making of such payment might result in the
imposition of interest costs beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.
27.8 The occurrence of a default by the Trustor under any of the contracts or
agreements assigned to the Agency under this Deed of Trust, where such default is not cured
within the applicable cure period, if any, or the failure of the Trustor to diligently enforce its

person who is paid by Beneficiary pursuant to the terms of this Section 28.6. Trustor shall repay

Trustor, hereby irrevocably designates Beneficiary as Trustor's attomey -in -fact to endorse
instruments received in payment of rents or use fees regarding the Property in the name of
Trustor and to negotiate the same and collect the proceeds. Payments by tenants or other users of
the Property to Beneficiary in response to Beneficiary's demand shall satisfy the obligation for
which the payments are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand existed.
Beneficiary may exercise its rights under this Section 28.8 either in person, by agent or through a
receiver.
28.9 Beneficiary's Enforcement of Leases. Beneficiary is hereby vested with full power

or claims assigned to it under this Deed of Trust or to perform or carry out any of the obligations
of the lessor under any leases and does not assume any of the liabilities in connection with or
arising or growing out of the covenants and agreements of Trustor in any leases. It is further
understood that this Deed of Trust shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care,

operate to make Beneficiary liable for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any
leases, or for any waste of the Property by the lessee under any leases or by any other party, or
for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any negligence in the
management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any

other party breaches their respective contract or contracts, regardless of whether Beneficiary
acquires or retains any interest in the Property. Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary
as its attorney -in -fact for the purposes of the foregoing, which power shall be durable and
coupled with an interest. Beneficiary does not assume and shall not be obligated to perform any
of Trustor's obligations under said contracts nor shall Beneficiary be required to enforce such
contracts or bring action for the breach of any such contracts; provided however, any
performance of the respective contracts specifically required by the Beneficiary in writing,

Obligations. The receiver may serve without bond, if permitted by law. Beneficiary's right to the
appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Property exceeds

specifications as Beneficiary deems reasonably necessary or appropriate. If the revenues
produced by the Property are insufficient to pay expenses, the receiver may borrow, from
Beneficiary or otherwise, as Beneficiary may deem reasonably necessary for the purposes stated
in this Section 28.11. The amounts borrowed or advanced shall be payable on demand and bear
interest from the date of expenditure until repaid at the rate of 10% per annum. Such sums shall

with such enforcement, restraint or injunction.

connection with sale, as above set forth, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of

the rate of 10% per annum; all other sums then secured by this Deed of Trust; and the remainder,
if any, to the Beneficiary and any other person or persons legally entitled to such proceeds of
sale.
30. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Beneficiary
in this Deed of Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy provided in this Deed of
Trust or under the Agreement or any other Grant Documents, or otherwise by law provided or
permitted, or provided in any guaranty given in connection with the Obligations, but each shall
be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy. Every power or remedy given by

this Deed of Trust to Trustee or Beneficiary or to which either of them may be otherwise
entitled, may be exercised concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may
be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary and either of them may pursue inconsistent
remedies.
31. No Waiver. No waiver of any default or failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy
by Beneficiary or Trustee shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default in
the future or a preclusion of any right or remedy with respect to the same or any other
occurrence.
32. Marshaling. In case of a sale under this Deed of Trust, the Property, real, personal and
mixed, may be sold in one or more parcels. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be required to

including the charges for examining title and the attorneys' fees for rendering an opinion as to
priority of this Deed of Trust and of such chattel mortgage or other security instrument as a valid
and subsisting lien. However, neither a request so made by Beneficiary, nor the failure of

such Property, from the conveyance of title under this Deed of Trust, it being understood and
agreed that this covenant and any such chattel mortgage, security agreement or other similar
security instrument delivered to Beneficiary are cumulative and given as additional security.

Date of Promissory Note:

Maturity Date of Promissory Note:
Tenth (10t) Anniversary of the
"Opening Date," as defined in
Section 6.4.4 of the Agreement
1. PROMISE TO PAY. Paul P. Rusnak, as trustee of the Paul P. Rusnak Family Trust, and
Rusnak/Arcadia, a California corporation (collectively, the 'Borrower "), jointly and
severally, promise to pay to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Arcadia (the
"Agency" or "Holder "), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the
principal sum of all funds drawn or disbursed under that certain Agency Loan as defined
and provided for in that certain 2004 Land Assembly and Development Agreement
(Rusnak/Arcadia), dated as of December 7, 2004, by and between the Borrower and the
Agency (the "Agreement'), together with interest, as set forth in this Promissory Note.
2. INDEBTEDNESS. This Promissory Note evidences the indebtedness of the Borrower to
the Agency under the terms and conditions of the Agency Loan as provided for in the
Agreement. This Promissory Note is referred to in the Agreement as the 'Promissory
1
RVPMDGW686849.1
Note ". A copy of the Agreement is on file with the Agency Secretary as a public record
of the Agency.
3. PAYMENT. Borrower will pay all amounts of principal and accrued interest under this
Promissory Note, prior to its Maturity Date in annual installment amounts amortized over
the period from the date of this Promissory Note until the Maturity Date to be calculated
by the Agency based on the amount of funds advanced or disbursed under the Agency
Loan, with each such installment due on the last business day of each Dealership
Operating Year, as defined in the Agreement (each such date referred to as a "scheduled
debt service payment "), until the Maturity Date or repayment in full of all outstanding
principal and accrued and unpaid interest under this Promissory Note, whichever is
earlier. Each scheduled debt service payment shall be equivalent to or greater than the
sum of the In -Lieu Minimum Sales Tax Payment and the hi -Lieu Tax Increment
Payment, each as defined in the Agreement. Prior to the Maturity Date of this
Promissory Note, the Borrower shall make payments of principal and interest to the
Agency solely from "Additional Tax Revenues," as this term is defined in sub - paragraph
1., below. If Additional Tax Revenues are not sufficient to make a scheduled debt
service payment in full on a scheduled debt service payment date, the portion of such
scheduled debt service payment not then paid (the "deficiency debt service amount ")
shall be carried forward to the next following scheduled debt service payment date,
without affecting the rights of the Agency regarding such a default by the Borrower, and
then on such following scheduled debt service payment date, any Additional Tax
Revenues shall first be applied to pay the balance of the deficiency debt service amount
carried forward and, then, to pay the scheduled debt service payment due on such date.
On the Maturity Date, a balloon payment of any and all remaining principal balance and
accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable by Borrower to the Agency in
immediately available funds of the Borrower and not from Additional Tax Revenues.
Borrower will make all payments of interest and principal to the Agency under this
Promissory Note at the following address of the Agency: 240 W. Huntington Drive,
Arcadia, California 91006 -6021, Attention: Executive Director, or at such other place as
the Agency may designate in writing to the Borrower. Unless otherwise agreed to by the
Agency in writing or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any
unpaid collection costs, then to any late charges, then to any unpaid interest, and any
remaining amount will be applied to principal.
1. The words "Additional Tax Revenues" mean and refer to the following
amounts accruing or received between the Opening Date (as defined in
the Agreement) and the Maturity Date:
(a) the amount of all Dealership Sales Taxes and any In -Lieu
Minimum Sales Tax Payment actually made, since the later
of (i) the date of this Promissory Note or (ii) the date of the
most recently paid scheduled debt service payment, and
(b) the amount of Tax Increment (as defined below) actually
received by the Agency due to supplemental assessments
under Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 75, et seq., by
i•!
RVPUB \DGWW6849.1
0 0
the Assessor of the County of Los Angeles, California, of
the Dealership Site due to the Expansion Project. "Tax
Increment" means the assessment, levy and distribution of
taxes regarding property to the Agency authorized by
Article XVI, Section 16 of the California Constitution and
implemented through California Health & Safety Code
Sections 33670 et seq., as such law now exists or may be
amended, superseded, re- numbered or replaced, in the
future and any In -Lieu Tax Increment Payment actually
made.
4. INTEREST RATE. Interest shall accrue annually on the outstanding balance of any
deficiency debt service amount, until such amount is paid in full, at the rate of six percent
(6 %) per annum. Any interest on this Promissory Note shall be computed on a 365/360
simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year
of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual
number of days the principal balance is outstanding.
5. PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the principal and
accrued and unpaid interesting owing under this Promissory Note earlier than it is due.
6. LATE CHARGE. If a scheduled debt service payment or any portion of any such
payment is ten (10) calendar days or more late, Borrower will also be charged (in
addition to the annual installment amount past due) five percent (5 %) of the portion of
the annual installment payment amount as a late charge.
7. DEFAULT. An "Event of Default" under this Promissory Note shall have occurred, if
any of the following events occurs:
a. The Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Promissory Note.
b. The Borrower fails to perform any of the non - monetary covenants and conditions
of this Promissory Note or Section 6.3 or Section 6.4 of the Agreement, and such
failure is not cured to the Agency's reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days
following written notice of the failure to the Borrower from the Agency or the
expiration of an applicable shorter cure period set forth in this Promissory Note or
the Agreement; provided, however, that for so long as the Borrower is satisfying
its obligations to cause the generation of both the Minimum Assessed Valuation
and the Minimum Annual Sales Tax Amount or, alternatively, paying both the In-
Lieu Tax Increment Payment and the In -Lieu Minimum Sales Tax Payment, no
default under this Promissory Note shall occur by virtue of any failure on the part
of the Borrower to satisfy any of the other covenants of either Section 6.3 or
Section 6.4.

law, increase the interest rate on this Promissory Note for interest that accrues after the
date such amount is declared due, to the rate of ten percent (10 %) per annum. The
Holder may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Promissory Note, if the

Promissory Note and not specifically defined in this Promissory Note shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
c. Payment or prepayment of this Promissory Note shall not relieve Borrower of the
covenants, conditions and obligations set forth in the Agreement, except the
obligation to pay all amounts due under this Promissory Note.
d. It is the intention of Borrower and Holder to conform strictly to the usury laws
now or hereafter enforced in the State of California, and any interest payable
under this Promissory Note or any of the other documents to be executed by
Borrower in connection with the loan or advance of funds made or to be made
under this Promissory Note, shall be subject to reduction to the amount not in

any election by Holder resulting from any default (or an event permitting
acceleration), under this Promissory Note or any other instrument given to secure
the payment of this Promissory Note, or otherwise, then accrued interest may
never include more than the maximum amount permitted by law, computed from
the date of this Promissory Note until payment, and any interest in excess of the
maximum amount permitted by law shall be canceled automatically and, if
theretofore paid, shall at the option of the Holder either be credited against the
principal amount of this Promissory Note or, if all principal has been repaid, then

chargeable, or receivable under this Promissory Note or any other document
executed in connection with this Promissory Note shall under no circumstances
exceed the maximum legal rate upon the unpaid principal balance of this
Promissory Note remaining unpaid from time to time. In the event such interest
does exceed the maximum legal rate, such excess shall be canceled automatically
and, if theretofore paid, rebated to the Borrower or credited on the principal
amount of this Promissory Note, or if this Promissory Note has been repaid in
full, then such excess shall be rebated to Borrower.
e. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision or provisions of this
Promissory Note as to any persons or circumstances shall not render that
provision or those provisions unenforceable or invalid as to any other person or
circumstances, and all provisions of this Promissory Note, in all other respects,
shall remain valid and enforceable.
f. Borrower agrees to indemnify Holder and to hold Holder and Holder's successors
and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, costs,
liabilities and obligations of any kind or nature arising from any default under
this Promissory Note, including, without limitation, all costs of collection,
including attorneys' and expert witness fees and all cost of suit, in the event the

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
2004
LAND ASSEMBLY AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
(Rusnak/Arcadia)
THIS 2004 LAND ASSEMBLY AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
(Rusnak/Arcadia) (this "Agreement ") is entered into as of December 7, 2004, for reference
purposes only, by and between the REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, a public body, corporate and politic, exercising governmental functions and powers
and organized and existing pursuant to Chapter 2 of the Community Redevelopment Law of the
State of California (Health and Safety Code Sections 33000, et sue.) (the "Agency "), and PAUL
P. RUSNAK, as trustee of the Paul P. Rusnak Family Trust Dated November 14, 1988 (the
"Owner "), and RUSNAK/ARCADIA, a California corporation (the "Operator ").
IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PROMISES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT,
THE AGENCY, THE OWNER AND THE OPERATOR AGREE, AS FOLLOWS:
ARTICLE I
PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT
Section 1.1 The Purpose of this Agreement. The Owner and the Operator desire to
expand the existing new and used automobile dealership and automobile service center operated
by the Operator and located at 55 West Huntington in the City of Arcadia, California, on land
owned by the Owner (the "Dealership "). The Dealership is situated in the redevelopment project
area of the Central Redevelopment Project of the Agency (the "Project Area "). Certain lands
onto which the Dealership may be expanded, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, are also
situated within the Project Area. The purpose of this Agreement is to implement the
Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area by providing, as necessary, for the assembly of up to
five (5) parcels of property in proximity to the existing Dealership (each -parcel is more
particularly described in the legal descriptions attached to this Agreement as Exhibits "A -1"
through "A -5" and, collectively, are referred to in this Agreement as the "Expansion Site," as
further defined in Section 2.1.35) for sale to the Owner and development by the Owner of an
expansion of the existing Dealership onto the Expansion Site. The parcels of land comprising the
Expansion Site display a number of symptoms of blight and the Agency has determined that the
redevelopment of the Expansion Site, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will assist
the community in eliminating the conditions of blight on the Expansion Site and prevent the
spread of conditions of blight into other areas of the community, including within the Project
Area. The Expansion Project (as defined in Section 2.1.34) is in the vital and best interests of the
City of Arcadia and the health, safety and welfare of its residents and is in accord with the public
purposes and provisions of applicable state and local laws. The Agency has determined that the
Expansion Project is consistent with the Redevelopment Implementation Plan for the Project
Area.

Section 1.2 Owner Representation of No Relocation of Automobile Dealership;
Indemnity and Defense of the City and the Agency.
1.2.1 Neither the Agency, nor the Owner, nor the Operator believe that
Health and Safety Code Section 33426.7 applies to the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement. Additionally, the Owner and the Operator represent to the Agency and the City
that, although the Owner and the Operator own and operate other vehicle dealer locations in
Southern California, no vehicle dealer business will be relocated, as that term is defined in
Health and Safety Code Section 33426.7, from another location and, thereafter, conducted on the
Expansion Site, following completion of the Expansion Project. The Owner represents to the
Agency that the Expansion Project is an expansion of the existing Dealership within the City and
not a relocation of any vehicle dealer business previously conducted at another location.
1.2.2 The Owner and the Operator agree and acknowledge that the Agency
entered into this Agreement in material reliance on the representations of the Owner and the
Operator set forth in Section 1.2.1. The Owner and the Operator agree, jointly and severally, to
indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Agency and the City) and hold
harmless the Agency and the City, and their respective elected officials, employees, consultants
and agents against any liability, damages, claims, proceedings or actions alleging or asserting
that the Agency or the City in any way assisted the Owner and the Operator to relocate a vehicle
dealer from another location into the City. The lack of insurance coverage or any failure of an
insurance carrier to pay shall not relieve the Owner or the Operator of its obligations under this
Section 1.2.2.
1.2.3 Additionally, within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, the
Owner shall deliver to the Agency, as an express condition precedent to any obligation of the
Agency under this Agreement, an unconditional, irrevocable, standby Letter of Credit in an
original principal sum of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000), in the form attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit "E," issued by a federally chartered bank, whose debt is rated not less than
"A" by Moody's Investor's Services or comparably rated by another nationally recognized debt
rating service or such other issuer approved by the Agency, in the Agency's sole and absolute
discretion, naming the Agency as the beneficiary. The Letter of Credit shall be payable in a
single draw or one or more partial draws, upon presentation by the Agency of a sight draft.
Each draw shall be payable within two (2) days of presentation of the sight draft. The Letter of
Credit shall be for a term of not less than twelve (12) months from the Effective Date. The
Letter of Credit shall be automatically renewed for additional consecutive twelve (12) month
periods, unless drawn upon in full by the Agency, released by the Agency or the issuing bank
gives written notice to the Agency, at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration
date stated in the Letter of Credit, that the bank will not renew the Letter of Credit. The Letter
of Credit shall require its issuing bank to notify the Agency, not later than one hundred twenty
(120) days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit, as to the new expiration date
of the Letter of Credit, if the Letter of Credit will be renewed, or of the issuing bank's intention
not to renew the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall permit a draw in full prior to the
expiration or termination of the Letter of Credit, if the Letter of Credit has not been replaced or
renewed. The Letter of Credit shall provide that draws may be made at a location in either the
City of Arcadia, California, or the County of Los Angeles, California, or such other location
approved by the Agency, in the Agency's sole and absolute discretion. The Owner further
2
RVPUB\DGW\674424.7
agrees that, if the Owner becomes insolvent or the subject of any action under the bankruptcy
laws of the United States or any state, the Agency may immediately draw on the Letter of
Credit, without notice to the Owner or any right to notice or a cure period in favor of the Owner
as may arise under this Agreement or under other applicable law. The Agency may draw on the
Letter of Credit to compensate the Agency for any loss, damage or expense incurred by or
imposed upon the Agency or the City arising from the Owner's failure, refusal or delay in
satisfying the Owner's obligations under Section 1.2.2 or the Owner's failure, refusal or delay in
paying any Parcel Reuse Price or other Expansion Site Acquisition Cost incurred by the Agency
that the Owner is obligated to pay under the terms of this Agreement or any loss, damage or
expense incurred by or imposed upon the Agency arising from the Owner's default under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the Owner's failure to make any payments required
under Section 6.3 or Section 6.4.
1.2.4 Maintenance and Release of Letter of Credit. Subject to the other
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Owner shall maintain the Letter of Credit until the
letter of Credit is released by the Agency. The Agency shall release the Letter of Credit upon
the Agency's issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the Expansion Project, pursuant to
Section 7.4.
Section 1.3 Restrictions Against Change in Ownership, Management and Control
of Owner; Restrictions Against Transfer of Certain Property Interests.
1.3.1 The qualifications and identity of the Owner and the Operator are of
particular concern to the Agency. The Agency would not enter into this Agreement, were it not
for the qualifications and identity of the Owner and the Operator. The Owner and the Operator
shall promptly notify the Agency in writing of any and all changes whatsoever in.the identity of
the business entities or individuals either comprising or in control of the Owner and the
Operator, as well as any and all changes in the interest or the degree of control of the Owner and
the Operator by any such party, of which information the Owner and the Operator or any of their
partners, members or officers have been notified or may otherwise have knowledge or
information. This Agreement may be terminated by the Agency, prior to the issuance of a
Certificate of Completion with respect to the Expansion Project, if there is any significant or
material change, whether voluntary or involuntary, in membership, ownership, management or
control of the Owner and the Operator (other than such changes occasioned by the death or
incapacity of any individual) that has not been approved by the Agency, prior to the time of such
change, or the Agency may seek other appropriate relief; provided, however, that (i) the Agency
shall first notify the Owner and the Operator in writing of its intention to terminate this
Agreement or to exercise any other remedy, and (ii) the Owner and the Operator shall have
thirty (30) calendar days following its receipt of such written notice to commence and,
thereafter, diligently and continuously proceed to cure the default of the Owner and the Operator
and submit evidence of the initiation and satisfactory completion of such cure to the Agency, in
a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agency.
1.3.2 Except for any Permitted Security Interest, prior to the issuance of a
Certificate of Completion, neither the Owner or the Operator shall sell, assign, convey, create
any trust estate with respect to or otherwise transfer any of its interests in this Agreement, the
Existing Site, the Expansion Site or the Expansion Project, without the prior written approval of
3
RVPUB\DGW\674424.7
the Agency, which approval may be given or withheld in the Agency's sole and absolute
discretion. The Owner and the Operator recognize that the qualifications and identity of each of
them are of particular concern to the Agency and that a sale, assignment, conveyance, creation
of a trust estate with respect to or other transfer of any of the Owner's and Operator's interests in

ARTICLE III
EXPANSION SITE ASSEMBLY
Section 3.1 Negotiations with Parcel Owners.
3.1.1 As of the date of this Agreement, neither the Agency nor the Owner
owns any of the Parcels. The Agency shall use its reasonable best efforts to acquire each Parcel
from the Parcel Owner by negotiated purchase. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
require the Agency to pay a Parcel Purchase Price that the Agency determines, based upon a
Parcel FMV Appraisal, exceeds the fair market value for such Parcel or to spend in excess of the
amount of the maximum principal balance of the Agency Loan towards Expansion Site
Acquisition Costs.
3.1.2 In connection with each Agency negotiated purchase of a Parcel, if
any, the Parcel Owner and the Agency shall enter into a written agreement for the purchase and
sale of the Parcel (referred to in this Agreement as a "Parcel Acquisition Agreement ") and open
an "Agency/Parcel Owner Escrow" with the Escrow Holder.
3.1.3 All Agency/Parcel Owner Escrows, if any, shall be closed by the date
set forth in the Schedule of Performance for such actions, or such other date mutually agreed
upon in writing by the Owner and the Agency.
3.1.4 The Owner shall not be a party to any Agency/Parcel Owner Escrow
and no-instruction of the Owner to the Escrow Holder regarding an Agency/Parcel Owner
Escrow shall have any force or effect as to the Agency or the Escrow Holder in any
Agency /Parcel Owner Escrow transaction. As more fully set forth in Article IV, the Agency and
the Owner shall open a separate escrow with the Escrow Holder through which the Owner shall
purchase from the Agency each Phase of Parcels acquired by the Agency, if any.
Section 3.2 Eminent Domain Proceedings. To the extent that the Agency is unable to
acquire one or more Parcels through negotiation with the Parcel Owner(s) and the Executive
Director determines that (i) an Agency offer with respect to a Parcel has been rejected or (ii) that
further discussion, negotiation or modification of a pending Agency offer regarding a Parcel is
unlikely to be accepted by the Parcel Owner of such Parcel, the Agency agrees to schedule and
13
RVPIIB \DGw,674424.7
hold a hearing to consider adoption of a resolution of necessity authorizing the use of the
Agency's power of eminent domain to acquire such Parcel or Parcels. The Agency shall notify
the Owner of its scheduling of a hearing to consider adoption of a resolution of necessity
regarding the acquisition of a Parcel. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agency to
adopt a resolution of necessity regarding any Parcel or to acquire any Parcel by exercise of the
Agency's power of eminent domain. If the Agency considers adoption of a resolution of
necessity regarding a Parcel and' does not adopt such a resolution, the Agency and the Owner
shall promptly schedule an Expansion Site Assembly Consultation to determine whether or not
the Parcel should be removed from the Expansion Site. Nothing in this Agreement shall require
or commit the Agency to acquire any interest in a Parcel by exercise of the power of eminent
domain or otherwise. Additionally, the Owner and the Operator each acknowledge and agree
that, if the Agency adopts a resolution of necessity to acquire an interest in a Parcel or Parcels by
exercise of its power of eminent domain, the Agency shall be represented in any such proceeding
by legal counsel of the Agency's selection, in the Agency's sole and absolute discretion, and the
Agency's legal counsel shall not represent the Owner or the Operator in any capacity relative to
any such proceeding, nor shall the Owner or the Operator have any right of direction or control or
any influence over the conduct of the Agency or its legal counsel relative to any eminent domain
proceeding to acquire an interest in a Parcel or Parcels.
Section 3.3 Title Approval. As soon as practicable following the opening of each
Agency/Parcel Owner Escrow, pursuant to the terms of the Parcel Acquisition Agreement for the
Parcel, or within thirty (30) days following the adoption of a resolution of necessity regarding
acquisition of a Parcel by the Agency, the Agency shall obtain from Title Company the
Preliminary Report and deliver a copy of the Preliminary Report to the Owner. Within thirty (30)
days of the Owner's receipt of the Preliminary Report, Owner shall serve the Agency with
Owner's Title Notice. If Owner fails to serve the Agency with Owner's Title Notice, within thirty
(30) days of the Owner's receipt of the Preliminary Report, the Owner will be deemed to
disapprove the status of title to the particular Parcel and refuse to accept title to the Parcel, in
which case the Agency may cancel the pending Agency/Parcel Owner Escrow for the Parcel or
abandon any eminent domain proceeding for the Agency to acquire the Parcel, in the Agency's
sole discretion, and the Parcel shall be removed from the Expansion Site. Within thirty (30) days
following receipt by the Agency of Owner's Title Notice, if any, the Agency shall serve Agency's
Title Notice Response. If the Owner's Title Notice does not object to any matter in the
Preliminary Report, the Agency shall not be required to serve Agency's Title Notice Response. If
the Agency does not serve Agency's Title Notice Response, if necessary, within thirty (30) days
following its receipt of Owner's Title Notice, the Agency shall be deemed to elect not to remove
any matter objected to in Owner's Title Notice, if any, from the Preliminary Report. If ahe
Agency elects in Agency's Title Notice Response to cause the removal of any matter objected to
in Owner's Title Notice from the Preliminary Report, the Agency shall cause the removal of each
such objectionable matter from the Preliminary Report within sixty (60) days of receipt by the
Owner of Agency's Title Notice Response or such other period of time that may be agreed to in
writing by the Agency and the Owner. If the Agency is unwilling or unable to cause the removal
of any matter objected to in Owner's Title Notice from the Preliminary Report, then, within
fifteen (15) days of Owner's receipt of Agency's Title Notice Response, the Owner may either
(1) refuse to accept the title to the Parcel, in which case the Agency may cancel the pending
Agency/Parcel Owner Escrow for the Parcel or abandon any eminent domain proceeding for the
Agency to acquire the Parcel, in the Agency's sole discretion, and the Parcel shall be removed
14
RVPUB \DGW \674424.7
from the Expansion Site, or (2) waive its objection to any items set forth in Owner's Title Notice
by delivering the Owner's Title Notice Waiver to the Agency. Failure by the Owner to respond
in writing to Agency's Title Notice Response, where Agency's Title Notice Response or the
Agency's failure to serve Agency's Title Notice Response indicates the Agency's election not to
cause the removal of any matter objected to in Owner's Title Notice from the Preliminary Report,
within fifteen (15) days of Owner's receipt of Agency's Title Notice Response or expiration of the
time period for the Agency to deliver Agency's Title Notice Response under this Agreement, will
be deemed Owner's continued refusal to accept the title to and conveyance of the Parcel, in which
case the Agency may cancel the pending Agency /Parcel Owner Escrow for the Parcel or abandon
any eminent domain proceeding for the Agency to acquire the Parcel, in the Agency's sole
discretion, and the Parcel shall be removed from the Expansion Site.
Section 3.4 Owner Investigations.
3.4.1 As soon as practicable following the opening of each Agency/Parcel
Owner Escrow, the Agency shall notify the Owner that the particular Parcel is available for
inspection by the Owner, pursuant to this Section 3.4, subject to the terms of the Parcel
Acquisition Agreement for the Parcel. The Owner shall have sixty (60) days or such shorter
period of time allowed to the Agency for such due diligence under the applicable Parcel
Acquisition Agreement following such notice (each, an "Escrow Transfer Parcel Due Diligence
Period ") to complete all of its Owner Investigations. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement, any Owner Investigations of the condition or suitability of a Parcel for the
Expansion Project, including, without limitation, any intrusive testing or engineering study of
the Parcel or intrusive sampling of any structure on the Parcel, shall be subject to the applicable
provisions of the Parcel Acquisition Agreement for the particular Parcel.
3.4.2 Owner access to a Parcel being acquired pursuant to the Agency's
exercise of the power of eminent domain, following commencement of a legal action, for
purposes of conducting Owner Investigations on such Parcel, shall be subject to an appropriate
order of the Court. The Owner shall have sixty (60) calendar days or such shorter time period
ordered by the Court, following the entry of an order by the Court granting access to a Parcel
being acquired by eminent domain, if any (each, a "Condemnation Parcel Due Diligence
Period"), to complete all of its Owner Investigations regarding the Parcel. Any Owner
Investigations of a Parcel being acquired by eminent domain, including, without limitation, any
intrusive testing or engineering study of the Parcel or intrusive sampling of any structure on the
Parcel, shall be subject to an appropriate order of the Court.
3.4.3 The Owner shall complete all of its Owner Investigations within the
Escrow Transfer Parcel Due Diligence Period or the Condemnation Parcel Due Diligence
Period, as applicable, and shall conduct all of its Owner Investigations at its sole cost and
expense. The Owner shall rely solely and exclusively upon the results of its Owner
Investigations of the Parcels, including, without limitation, investigations regarding geotechnical
soil conditions, compliance with applicable laws pertaining to the use of the Parcel by the
Owner and any other matters relevant to the physical condition or suitability of the Parcel for the
Expansion Project, as the Owner may deem necessary and appropriate. The Agency makes no

RVPUB\DGw\674424.7
3.4.4 The Owner shall deliver a Owner Investigation Conclusion Notice to
the Agency and the Escrow Holder for each Parcel, prior to the end of the Escrow Transfer
Parcel Due Diligence Period or the Condemnation Parcel Due Diligence Period, as applicable.
If the Owner does not accept the condition of a Parcel by the end of the applicable Escrow
Transfer Parcel Due Diligence Period or Condemnation Parcel Due Diligence Period, the Owner
shall be deemed to have rejected the condition of the Parcel and refused to accept conveyance of
title to the Parcel. If the condition of a Parcel is rejected by the Owner, then the Agency and the
Owner shall schedule an Expansion Site Assembly Consultation to confer about the means by
which such rejection may be withdrawn by the Owner. If the Agency and the Owner cannot
agree upon a means of correcting the condition of the Parcel rejected by the Owner, the Parcel
shall be removed from the Expansion Site and the Agency may cancel any Agency/Parcel
Owner Escrow regarding the Parcel or abandon any eminent domain proceeding for the Agency
to acquire the Parcel, in the Agency's sole discretion.
3.4.5 The Owner acknowledges that there is a high probability that certain
of the Parcels contain structures improved with asbestos containing materials ( "ACM ") and/or
lead -based paint ( "LBP ") and that, if the Owner accepts the condition of a Parcel, and the Phase
of the Agency /Owner Escrow regarding the Parcel closes or the Agency obtains a prejudgment
order of possession for the Parcel from the Court, as applicable, the Owner shall be solely
responsible for abating and transporting any ACM and/or LBP- containing demolition wastes for
disposal off -site at a lawful waste disposal facility in the manner required by law. The Owner
acknowledges that the Agency assumes no liability for damages for personal injury, illness,
disability, or death to the Owner, or any person, including members of the general public, arising
from or incident to the use, abatement, handling, removal, transportation or disposal of any
ACM or LBP from or in any improvements on any Parcel. The Owner further acknowledges
that there is a possibility that one or more of the Parcels contain buried vaults, buried in- ground
swimming pools, underground storage tanks, subsurface debris and non - native soils previously
imported by unknown third persons from off -site locations, abandoned infrastructure and
utilities and other man -made materials associated with the prior improvement and use of one or
more of the Parcels. The Owner shall accept all such conditions of a Parcel, without any
liability of the Agency whatsoever, upon the Owner's acceptance of the condition of the Parcel.
The Owner Investigation Conclusion Notice accepting the condition of a Parcel shall evidence
the acceptance of the condition of the Parcel by the Owner in its existing "AS IS," "WHERE IS"
and "SUBJECT TO ALL FAULTS" condition as of the last day of the Escrow Transfer Parcel
Due Diligence Period or the Condemnation Parcel Due Diligence Period, as applicable. In its
sole discretion, the Owner may accept a Parcel in its "AS IS," "WHERE IS" and "SUBJECT TO
ALL FAULTS" condition at any time before the end of the applicable Escrow Transfer Parcel
Due Diligence Period or Condemnation Parcel Due Diligence Period. The Owner may not
commence any portion of the Expansion Project on the Parcel, including, without limitation, the
demolition of any improvements on the Parcel, until all Phases of the Agency /Owner Escrow are
closed.
3.4.6 As part of its Owner Investigations, the Owner shall cause an ALTA
Survey of each Parcel to be prepared by a licensed civil engineer selected by the Owner to

copy of the ALTA Survey for each Parcel to the Agency, with its Owner Investigation
Conclusion Notice. Any exception to title indicated by the ALTA Survey for a Parcel shall be a

Parcel, in which case the Agency and the Owner shall proceed pursuant to Section 3.3. to
attempt to resolve any such objection of the Owner.
3.4.7 Any Owner Investigations of a Parcel shall not unreasonably disrupt
any then existing use or occupancy of the Parcel or the business operations of the Agency. The
Owner shall be liable for any damage or injury to any person or property arising from the acts of
the Owner, its employees, agents or representatives during the course of any Owner
Investigations on a Parcel, and the Owner shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Agency and hold harmless the Agency and its elected officials, officers,
directors, attorneys, agents and employees from any and all liens, claims, demands or liability
arising from any Owner Investigations on a Parcel. Prior to commencing any Owner
Investigations on a Parcel, the Owner shall deliver copies of policies or certificates of insurance
to the Agency evidencing compliance by the Owner with the insurance requirements of Section

(e) No information has come to the attention of the Executive Director
indicating that the total Expansion Site Acquisition Costs will exceed the sum of the Parcel FMV
Appraisals for all of the Parcels by more than ten percent (10 %).
3.5.2 If the Executive Director does not confirm the satisfaction of each of
the conditions set forth in Section 3.5.1 by the date set forth in the Schedule of Performance for
such confirmation, either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without liability
to the other Party, by delivering written notice of termination to the other Party, unless at least

Agency shall promptly open an Agency /Parcel Owner Escrow for the purchase and sale of the
Parcel, pursuant to Section 3.1.2 and the terms of the Parcel Acquisition Agreement between the
Parcel Owner and the Agency. If an Agency offer to purchase a Parcel is either rejected by or

transmittal of the Agency offer, or if the Executive Director determines that further discussion,
negotiation or modification of a pending Agency offer to purchase a Parcel is unlikely to be
accepted by the Parcel Owner, the Agency shall schedule and hold a hearing to consider
adoption of a resolution of necessity authorizing the use of the Agency's power of eminent
domain to acquire such Parcel, pursuant to Section 3.2.

investment of resources that both Parties recognize will be required for assembly of the
Expansion Site and the undertaking of the Expansion Project. If the date or time for the
performance of a task -or the satisfaction of a condition, as set forth in either the text of this
Agreement or in the Schedule of Performance, may not be achieved, then prior to such date or
time set forth in the text of this Agreement or the Schedule of Performance, the Agency and the

Agreement or the Schedule of Performance shall be subject to the sole discretion of each party.

A modification of a time or date for performance of a task or satisfaction of a condition (or a
series of such modifications) that results in a change of more than one hundred twenty (120) days

19
RVPUB\DGW \674424.7
following the Agency's advance of all or any portion of the Agency Loan, the Agency may
request the Owner to pay any Expansion Site Acquisition Costs, as reasonably necessary to
prevent the Agency from being committed to deposit, advance or pay monetary amounts in
excess of the maximum principal amount of the Agency Loan. The Owner acknowledges and
agrees that, at any given time, the Agency may have deposited, advanced, be committed to pay
or have paid Expansion Site Acquisition Costs in excess of the maximum principal amount of
the Agency Loan and that the Owner is obligated to pay any and all Expansion Site Acquisition
Costs in excess of the maximum principal amount of the Agency Loan. The Owner agrees to

under this Agreement.

payments may be paid from any source of funds legally available to the Agency for such purpose
and nothing in this Agreement is intended to constitute a pledge, pursuant to Health and Safety
Code Section 33671, of property tax revenues allocated or allocable to the Agency pursuant to
Health and Safety Code Section 33670 or 33675. The Parties each acknowledge and agree that
the City and Agency are separate legal entities, the City,, not the Agency, actually receives the
Dealership Sales Tax, the City is not a Party to this Agreement and has no rights or obligations
under this Agreement, and the Dealership Sales Tax is being used merely as a measure of the
amount of the Operator Incentive payments that may periodically be owing by the Agency and
the Agency is not pledging sales tax funds or any other specific Agency funds for payment of
any Operator Incentive payments. The Agency's obligation to make Operator Incentive
payments is expressly subject and subordinate to the Agency's pledge, pursuant to Health and
Safety Code Section 33671, of any property tax revenues that are allocated or allocable to the
Agency pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 33670 or 33675.

interest under the Promissory Note, without the prior written approval of the Agency, which
approval may be given or withheld in the Agency's sole and absolute discretion. Any violation
of the provisions of this Section 6.6 by either the Owner or the Operator shall be an Event of
Default under this Agreement and the Promissory Note.
Section 6.7 Owner and Operator Covenant to Defend this Agreement. The Owner
and the Operator each acknowledge that the Agency is a "public entity" and/or a "public agency"
as defined under applicable California law. Therefore, the Agency must satisfy the requirements
of certain California statutes relating to the actions of public entities and redevelopment agencies,
including, without limitation, CEQA and Health and Safety Code Section 33426.7. Also, as a
public body and a redevelopment agency, the Agency's action in approving this Agreement may
be subject to proceedings to invalidate this Agreement, injunctive relief or damages. The Owner
and the Operator each assume the risk of delays and damages that may result to either of them as
a result of any third -party legal actions related to the Agency's approval of this Agreement or the
pursuit of the activities contemplated by this Agreement, even in the event that an error, omission
or abuse of discretion by the Agency is determined to have occurred. If a third -party files a legal
action regarding the Agency's approval of this Agreement or the pursuit of the activities
contemplated by this Agreement, the Agency may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days

referencing this Section 6.7, without any further obligation to perform the terms of this
Agreement and without any liability to the Owner or the Operator resulting from such

the Agency against such third -party legal action, as provided hereinafter in this Section 6.7.

provided in the preceding sentence, the Owner or the Operator may offer to defend the Agency in

consulting fees, and the expenses of any and all financial or performance obligations resulting
from the disposition of the legal action. Any such offer from the Owner or the Operator must be

permit or other discretionary approval by the date set forth in the Schedule of Performance.
Section 7.4 Certificate of Completion.
7.4.1 Following the completion of construction and installation of the

by the Owner, and written request from the Owner for issuance of the Certificate of Completion,
the Agency shall inspect the Expansion Project to determine whether or not the Expansion
Project has been completed in compliance with this Agreement. If the Agency determines that
the Expansion Project is complete and in compliance with this Agreement, the Agency shall
furnish the Owner with a Certificate of Completion for the Expansion Project, executed in

this Agreement, the Agency shall send written notice of each non - conformity to the Owner,
pursuant to Section 7.4.3.

determined by the Agency. If the Agency fails to provide such written statement, within the
foregoing time period, the Owner shall be deemed conclusively and without further action of the

under Section 3093 of the California Civil Code, nor shall it act to terminate the continuing
covenants, restrictions or conditions subsequent contained in the Agency Grant Deed or any
other instruments recorded against the Expansion Site pursuant to this Agreement. A Certificate

approve each Lender proposed by the Owner or the Operator to provide a Loan and the right to
review and approve any and all Loan Documents evidencing any Loan and/or any security for
any Loan, in the Agency's reasonable discretion. The Owner or the Operator shall submit the
name of any proposed Lender and all Loan Documents proposed to evidence and/or secure a
Loan from such Lender to either the Owner or the Operator, as applicable, to the Agency for
review and approval, prior to executing such Loan Documents. The Agency shall review and
approve or disapprove any Lender and/or Loan Documents submitted to the Agency for review
and approval, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such information by the Agency. The
Agency's failure to approve or disapprove any Lender and/or any Loan Documents submitted to
the Agency for review and approval within such thirty (30) day period shall constitute the
Agency's approval of the submitted Lender and/or Loan Documents.
Section 8.2 Recordation of Construction Loan. The Owner covenants to cause a
Loan providing financing for the construction and installation of the Expansion Project to be
recorded against the Expansion Site or the Dealership Site, within thirty (30) days following the
Agency /Owner Escrow Closing Date.
Section 8.3 Only Permitted Security Interests Allowed. During the time period
between the Effective Date and the recordation of a full reconveyance of the Agency Deed of
Trust, the Owner shall not place and shall not allow to be placed on the Existing Site, the
Expansion Site, the Dealership Site or any portion of any such site any mortgage, deed of trust,
encumbrance or lien other than a Permitted Security Interest. In the event of the recordation of
any lien, encumbrance, mortgage, levy or attachment made on the Existing Site, the Expansion
Site, the Dealership Site or any portion of any such site that is not a Permitted Security Interest,
the Owner shall remove, have removed, or assure the satisfaction thereof to the satisfaction of the
Agency. Following sixty (60) calendar days prior written notice to the Owner, the Agency shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy any unauthorized liens or encumbrances recorded
against the Existing Site, the Expansion Site, the Dealership Site or any portion of any such site.
Nothing in this Section 8.3, though, shall require the Owner to pay or make provisions for the
payment of any tax, assessment, lien or charge that the Owner is in the process of contesting the
50
RVPUB \DGM674424.7
validity or amount thereof, in good faith, and so long as such contest shall not subject the
Existing Site, the Expansion Site, the Dealership Site or any portion of any such site, to forfeiture
or sale.
Section 8.4 Notification of Recording of Security Interest. The Owner shall
promptly notify the Agency of any mortgage, deed of trust or other refinancing, encumbrance or
lien created or attached to the Existing Site, the Expansion Site, the Dealership Site or any
portion of any such site, prior to recordation of a full reconveyance of the Agency Deed of Trust,
whether by voluntary act of the Owner or otherwise; provided, however, that no notice of filing
of preliminary notices or mechanic's liens need be given by the Owner to the Agency, prior to
suit being filed to foreclose any such mechanic's lien. The Owner shall promptly provide the
Agency with copies of all Loan Documents evidencing such security interest and related debt.
Section 8.5 Rights of Agency. Whenever a Lender delivers a notice or demand to the
Owner regarding any breach or default by the Owner under any Loan Document, such Lender

breach by the Owner under a Permitted Security Interest, prior to the recordation of a full
reconveyance of the Agency Deed of Trust, where the Lender has not exercised its option to
complete the Expansion Project under Section 8.6.1, the Agency may cure the default of the
Owner under the Loan or the Loan Documents, but is under no obligation to do so, prior to
completion of any sale or foreclosure of the Expansion Site under the Loan Documents. The
Agency shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Owner of all costs and expenses incurred by
the Agency in curing any default of the Owner under the Loan or the Loan Documents. The
Agency is authorized to add the amount of any such costs and disbursements to the amount
secured by the Agency Deed of Trust.
Section 8.6 Rights of Lender.
8.6.1 Whenever the Agency delivers any notice or demand to the Owner
regarding any breach or default by the Owner in the completion of construction and installation
of the Expansion Project, or any breach or default of any other obligations of the Owner under
this Agreement that, if not timely cured by the Owner, would entitle the Agency to terminate
this Agreement or exercise its right to acquire all or any portion of the Expansion Site, pursuant
to Section 10.6 the Agency shall concurrently send a copy of such notice or demand to the
Lender. The Lender shall (insofar as the rights of the Agency are concerned) have the right, but
not the obligation, at its option, to commence the cure or remedy of any such default of the
Owner and to diligently and continuously proceed with such cure or remedy, within the same
time period, if any, provided to the Owner in this Agreement to cure or remedy such default and

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that the Agreement contains certain community
redevelopment covenants running with the land and other agreements of the parties affecting the
Property, as set forth below:
Section 1.3 of the Agreement provides, as follows:
Section 1.3 Restrictions Against Change in Ownership,
Management and Control of Owner; Restrictions Against Transfer of
Certain Property Interests.
1.3.1 The qualifications and identity of the Owner and the
Operator are of particular concern to the Agency. The Agency would not
enter into this Agreement, were it not for the qualifications and identity of
the Owner and the Operator. The Owner and the Operator shall promptly
notify the Agency in writing of any and all changes whatsoever in the
identity of the business entities or individuals either comprising or in
control of the Owner and the Operator, as well as any and all changes in
the interest or the degree of control of the Owner and the Operator by any
such party, of which information the Owner and the Operator or any of
their partners, members or officers have been notified or may otherwise
have knowledge or information. This Agreement may be terminated by
the Agency, prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Completion with
respect to the Expansion Project, if there is any significant or material
change, whether voluntary or involuntary, in membership, ownership,
management or control of the Owner and the Operator (other than such
changes occasioned by the death or incapacity of any individual) that has
not been approved by the Agency, prior to the time of such change, or the
Agency may seek other appropriate relief; provided, however, that (i) the
Agency shall first notify the Owner and the Operator in writing of its
intention to terminate this Agreement or to exercise any other remedy, and
(ii) the Owner and the Operator shall have thirty (30) calendar days
following its receipt of such written notice to commence and, thereafter,
diligently and continuously proceed to cure the default of the Owner and
the Operator and submit evidence of the initiation and satisfactory
completion of such cure to the Agency, in a form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Agency.
1.3.2 Except for any Permitted Security Interest, prior to the
issuance of a Certificate of Completion, neither the Owner or the Operator
shall sell, assign, convey, create any trust estate with respect to or
otherwise transfer any of its interests in this Agreement, the Existing Site,
the Expansion Site or the Expansion Project, without the prior written
approval of the Agency, which approval may be given or withheld in the
Agency's sole and absolute discretion. The Owner and the Operator
recognize that the qualifications and identity of each of them are of
particular concern to the Agency and that a sale, assignment, conveyance,
creation of a trust estate with respect to or other transfer of any of the
Exhibit E
RVPUB %DGW1674424.7
Owner's and Operator's interests in this Agreement, the Expansion Site
and/or the Expansion Project is for all practical purposes a transfer or
disposition of the responsibilities of the Owner or Operator with respect to
this Agreement, the Existing Site, the Expansion Site or the Expansion
Project and, therefore, are only allowed in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 1.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing ,provisions of this
Section 1.3.2, inclusion of the Existing Site and/or the Expansion Site in
the trust estate of the Paul P. Rusnak Family Trust Dated November 14,
1988, is expressly authorized under this Agreement.

Section 5.1 Owner Covenant to Undertake Expansion
Project.
5.1.1 The Owner covenants and agrees for itself, its successors
and assigns, for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Agency that, promptly
upon the Owner's acquisition of the Expansion Site and following receipt
of all necessary City and other governmental approvals for the
development of the Expansion Project, the Expansion Site shall be
improved and developed with the Expansion Project. If the Owner only
acquires one Phase of Parcels, the Owner covenants and agrees for itself,
its successors and assigns that, promptly upon the Owner's acquisition of
the Phase, the Owner shall develop the Phase with an expansion of the
existing Dealership appropriately scaled for the size of the Parcels in such
Phase, subject to the prior approval of the expansion by the Agency and
receipt of all necessary City and other governmental approvals for the
development of the expansion. The Owner further covenants to develop
the Expansion Site and each portion of the Expansion Site in conformity
with all applicable laws and this Agreement. The covenants of this Section

obtain or authorize a reduction or other adjustment of the assessed
valuation of the Dealership Site for ad valorem property tax purposes from
the Office of the Assessor of the County of Los Angeles, California, to an
assessed valuation amount that is less than the Minimum Assessed
Valuation, plus an amount as determined in accordance with Subdivision
(b) of Section 2 of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution and Section
51(a) of the Revenue and Taxation Code for each succeeding tax year.
6.3.4 In any of the ten (10) years following the earlier of the
recordation of the Certificate of Completion for the Expansion Project or
October 1, 2007, in which the assessed valuation of the Dealership Site for
ad valorem property tax purposes, as determined by the Office of the
Assessor of the County of Los Angeles, California, is less than the
Minimum Assessed Valuation, plus an amount as determined in
Exhibit E
RVPUB\DGw\674424.7

California Constitution and Section 51(a) of the Revenue and Taxation
Code for each tax year following the Expansion Tax Increment Base Year,

between one percent (1.0 %) of the Minimum Assessed Valuation and one
percent (1.0 %) of the actual assessed valuation of the Dealership Site for
ad valorem property tax purposes, as determined by the Office of the
Assessor of the County of Los Angeles, California (the "In -Lieu Tax
Increment Payment "). Any In -Lieu Tax Increment Payment determined by

Operating Year, towards repayment of the Agency Loan, pursuant to the
terns of the Promissory Note.
6.4.2 If in any Dealership Operating Year the Operator fails to
generate the Minimum Annual Sales Tax Amount, the Owner and the
Operator and their respective successors or assigns, jointly and severally,
shall pay to the City the difference between the Minimum Annual Sales
Tax Amount for such Dealership Operating Year and the actual amount of

Any In -Lieu Minimum Sales Tax Payment determined by the Agency to

Owner and the Operator shall exercise their reasonable best efforts to
cause the Dealership to be continuously operated as a business for the sales

calendar days, except as otherwise excused under the terms of this
Agreement.
6.4.5 The Owner and Operator each acknowledge and agree that
the sales and use tax reporting and payment information related to sales
and use taxes resulting from business activities on the Dealership Site may
become a public record, as a result of the covenants of the Owner and the
Operator contained in this Section 6.4. The Owner and the Operator each
authorize the Agency and the City to use the sales and use tax reporting
and payment information related to sales and use taxes on the gross
receipts of the Owner and/or the Operator from the sale or lease of all
tangible personal property from the Dealership Site to confirm the Owner's
and the Operator's compliance with the covenants of the Owner and the
Operator contained in this Section 6.4. Additionally, the Owner and the
Operator shall make available to the Agency, upon request, for review and
copying, all sales and use tax reporting and payment information that the
Owner and/or the Operator submit to the BOE regarding the gross receipts
of the Owner and/or the Operator from the sale of all tangible personal
property from the Dealership Site. The Agency shall maintain the
confidentiality of all information regarding sales and use taxes resulting
from business activities on the Dealership Site provided to the Agency to
the extent permitted by law.
6.4.6 The covenants of this Section 6.4 shall be covenants
running with the land of the Existing Site, the Expansion Site and the

Neither the Owner or the Operator shall Transfer any of its interest in the
Expansion Site, the Dealership Site, any improvements on either such site
nor any automobile dealership franchise then being operated on the
Expansion Site or the Dealership Site prior to repayment in full of all
principal and accrued interest under the Promissory Note, without the prior
written approval of the Agency, which approval may be given or withheld
in the Agency's sole and absolute discretion. Any violation of the
provisions of this Section 6.6 by either the Owner or the Operator shall be
an Event of Default under this Agreement and the Promissory Note.
Section 6.12 of the Agreement provides, as follows:
6.12 Covenant to Maintain Dealership Site on Tax Rolls for 10
Years.
6.12.1 The Owner shall assure that the Dealership Site remains on
the County of Los Angeles, California, secured real property tax rolls for
the ten (10) calendar years following the date of recordation of the
Certificate of Completion for the Expansion Project.
6.12.2 For the ten (10) year period following the date of
recordation of the Certificate of Completion for the Expansion Project, the
Owner for itself and its successors and assigns covenants and agrees to pay
all property tax bills with respect to the Dealership Site and all
improvements thereon on or before the last day for the timely payment of
each property tax installment on each December 10 and April 10 and to
timely pay all supplemental tax bills regarding such property issued by the
County of Los Angeles, California. The Owner further covenants and
agrees to make available to the Agency, upon request, commencing in the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the Certificate of
Completion for the Expansion Project is recorded and in each of the ten
(10) calendar years, thereafter, for inspection and copying (i) a true and
correct copy of all property tax assessment notices, property tax bills and
property tax assessment correspondence by and between the Owner and
the County of Los Angeles, California, regarding the Dealership Site and
all improvements thereon, with respect to the preceding fiscal year of the
County of Los Angeles, California, and (ii) cancelled checks issued by the
Owner in payment of all property tax payments that are made to the
County of Los Angeles, California, regarding the Dealership Site and all
improvements thereon, with respect to the preceding fiscal year of the
County of Los Angeles, California. Failure of the Owner to comply with
the covenant of this Section 6.12 shall be deemed to be a material breach
of this Agreement by the Owner and the Agency shall be entitled to pursue
any remedy or damages available at law or in equity for such breach. The
Exhibit E
RVPUB \DGW\674424.7
Agency shall maintain the confidentiality of all information regarding
property tax assessments and payments provided to the Agency to the
maximum extent permitted by law.
6.12.3 The Owner understands and agrees that, prior to the
expiration of the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area, neither the
Owner, nor its successors or assigns shall use or otherwise sell, transfer,
convey, assign, lease, leaseback or hypothecate the Dealership Site or any
portion of the Dealership Site to any person or entity, or for any use of the
Dealership Site, that is partially or wholly exempt from the payment of real
property taxes or that would cause the exemption of the payment of all or
any portion of real property taxes otherwise assessable regarding the
Dealership Site, without the prior written consent of the Agency. For the
period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through and
including the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of recordation of a
Certificate of Completion for the Expansion Project, the Owner further
covenants and agrees that in the event of any conveyance, transfer,
assignment, lease, leaseback or sale by the Owner to any entity or person
or for any use of the Dealership Site or any portion of the Dealership Site,
that is partially or wholly exempt from the payment of real property taxes
or that would cause the exemption of the payment of all or any portion of
real property taxes otherwise assessable regarding the Dealership Site or
any portion of the Dealership Site, the Owner, its successors or assigns
shall pay to the Agency a fee in lieu of payment of such taxes each year in
an amount determined by the Agency to be one percent (1.0 %) of the "full
cash value" of the Dealership Site, or portion thereof, as may be subject to
such exemption from payment of ad valorem property taxes. The Agency's
determination of "full cash value" for in -lieu payment purposes under this
Section 6.12.3 shall be established by the Agency each year, if necessary,
by reference to the ad valorem property tax valuation principles and
practices generally applicable to a county property tax assessor under
Section 1 of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. The Agency's
determination of "full cash value" and that an in -lieu payment is due shall
be conclusive on such matters. If the Agency determines that an amount is
payable by the Owner to the Agency as an in -lieu payment under this
Section 6.12.3 in any tax year, then such amount shall be paid to the
Agency within forty -five (45) days following transmittal by the Agency to
the Owner of an invoice for payment of the in -lieu amount.
6.12.4 The covenants of this Section 6.12 shall run with the land of
the Dealership Site and shall be a covenant set forth in the Notice of
Agreement and the Agency Grant Deed.
Exhibit E
RVPU6 \DGW \674424.7
Section 6.13 of the Agreement provides, as follows:
6.13 Maintenance Condition of the Dealership Site. The
Owner and the Operator, for themselves and their respective successors
and assigns, each covenant and agree that:
6.13.1 The areas of the Dealership Site that are subject to public
view (including all existing improvements, paving, walkways,
landscaping, exterior signage and ornamentation) shall be maintained in
good repair and a neat, clean and orderly condition, ordinary wear and tear
excepted. If, at any time within twenty (20) years following the date of
recordation of the Notice of Agreement there is an occurrence of an
adverse condition on any area of the Dealership Site that is subject to
public view in contravention of the general maintenance standard
described above (a "Maintenance Deficiency "), then the Agency shall
notify the Owner and the Operator in writing of the Maintenance
Deficiency. If the Owner or the Operator fails to cure or commence and
diligently pursue to cure the Maintenance Deficiency within thirty (30)
days of its receipt of notice of the Maintenance Deficiency, the Agency
may conduct a public hearing, following transmittal of written notice of the
hearing to the Owner and the Operator, at least, ten (10) days prior to the
scheduled date of such public hearing, to verify whether a Maintenance
Deficiency exists and whether the Owner or the Operator has failed to
comply with the provisions of this Section 6.13. If, upon the conclusion of
the public hearing, the Agency finds that a Maintenance Deficiency exists
and that there appears to be non - compliance with the general maintenance
standard, described above, the Agency shall have the right to enter the
Dealership Site and perform all acts necessary to cure the Maintenance
Deficiency, or to take any other action at law or in equity that the Agency
may then be available to the Agency to accomplish the abatement of the

withheld in Beneficiary's sole but reasonable discretion. Beneficiary shall notify Trustor in
writing of its approval or disapproval of the final plan within fifteen (15) days after receipt
thereof by Beneficiary. If Beneficiary disapproves the plan, Beneficiary's notice to Trustor of
such disapproval shall include a brief explanation of the reasons for such disapproval. Trustor
shall submit to Beneficiary a revised final written environmental plan that remedies the defects
identified by Beneficiary as reasons for Beneficiary's disapproval of the previous plan. If Trustor
fails to submit a revised plan to Beneficiary within said thirty (30) day period, or if such revised
plan is submitted to Beneficiary and Beneficiary disapproves said plan, such failure or
disapproval shall, at Beneficiary's option and upon notice to Trustor, constitute an "Event of
Default" under this Deed of Trust. If Beneficiary does not notify Trustor of its approval or
disapproval of the final plan or any revisions to the final plan within the fifteen (15) day period
described above, Trustor shall provide written notice to Beneficiary of Beneficiary's failure to
respond, at which time Beneficiary shall have an additional forty -five (45) days after receipt of

additional forty -five (45) day period the plan shall be deemed approved by Beneficiary. Once

commence all action necessary to implement such plan and to comply with any requirements or
conditions imposed by Beneficiary, and shall diligently and continuously pursue such action to
completion in strict accordance with the terms of said plan. The rights of Beneficiary with
respect to the approval or disapproval of the environmental plan set forth in this subsection 10.4
and the actions of Beneficiary pursuant to such rights are not intended to, and shall not, in and of
themselves, confer on Beneficiary a right to manage, operate or control the Property on a
continuing basis following the discovery of the event(s) or occurrence(s) described in this
subsection 10.4.
10.5 Trustor agrees to submit from time to time, if requested by Beneficiary, a report,
satisfactory to Beneficiary, specifying any activities involving, directly or indirectly, the use,
generation, treatment, storage or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on the Property.
Beneficiary reserves the right, in its sole and reasonable discretion, to retain, at Trustor's
expense, an independent professional consultant to review any report prepared by Trustor and/or

policies or originally signed certificates evidencing such insurance coverage listing all coverage
and endorsements to the policies exactly as stated in the policies and to which the originally

policies are hereby assigned to Beneficiary. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement or in

Beneficiary in writing, said insurance shall (a) be placed with companies admitted and licensed
to do business in the State of California, by the California Department of Insurance, and (b) be

delivery to Beneficiary or for inspection by Beneficiary, its agents or insurers. In the event of
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of
some or all of the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust, all interest of the Trustor in any
insurance policies in force shall pass to the purchaser. Trustor shall provide Beneficiary with
proof of premiums paid for each policy term so long as this Deed of Trust remains in effect.
Trustor shall reimburse Beneficiary for any premiums paid for such insurance by the Beneficiary
upon the Trustor s default in so insuring the improvements or default in assigning and delivering
such policies to Beneficiary.
12. Assignment of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. Should the Property or any
portion, appurtenance, right or interest in the Property be taken or damaged by reason of any
public or private improvement, condemnation proceeding (including change of grade), fire,
earthquake or other casualty, or in any other manner, Beneficiary or Trustee may, at its option,
commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own name, any action or proceeding, or make any
reasonable compromise or settlement in connection with such taking or damage, and obtain all
compensation, awards or other relief available at law or in equity in such actions or proceeding.
All compensation, awards, damages, rights of action and proceeds, including the policies and the
proceeds of any policies of insurance affecting the Property, are hereby assigned to Beneficiary,
but no such assignments shall be effective to invalidate or impair any insurance policy. Truster
further assigns to Beneficiary any return premiums or other repayments upon any insurance at
any time provided for the benefit of the Beneficiary and all refunds or rebates made of taxes or
assessments on the Property, and Beneficiary may at any time collect said return premiums,
repayments, refunds and rebates in the event of any default by Truster under the Agreement, this
Deed of Trust or any other Transaction Documents. No insurance proceeds or condemnation
awards at any time assigned to or held by Beneficiary shall be deemed to be held in trust and
Beneficiary may commingle such proceeds with its general assets and shall not be liable for the
payment of any interest on any such amounts. Trustor also agrees to execute such further
assignments of any such policies, compensation, award, damages, rebates, return of premiums,
repayments, rights of action and proceeds as Beneficiary or Trustee may require.
13. Use of Insurance Proceeds. After any damage by casualty to the Property, whether or not
required to be insured against under the policies to be provided by Trustor, Trustor shall give
prompt written notice of such damage and casualty to Beneficiary generally describing the nature
and cause of such casualty and the extent of the damage to or destruction of the Property. Trustor
shall have the obligation to promptly repair the damage, regardless of whether and to the extent
the casualty was covered by an insurance policy. For these purposes, Beneficiary shall make
RVPUB\DGW\674424.7 10
available to Trustor proceeds of any insurance policy covering the casualty and maintained by
Trustor under and subject to each of the following terms and conditions:

Trustor's operating expenses and perform all acts or pay all of the sums due under the Agreement
and this Deed of Trust over the projected period of reconstruction, and Beneficiary may require
Trustor to establish and fund a holdback account up to the amount of the difference between the
anticipated debt service and operating expenses of Trustor. In the event of any default under the

requirements, Beneficiary may, at its option, apply any portion or all of such amounts against
accrued interest and the outstanding amounts due under the Agreement or this Deed of Trust;
(d) Receipt by Beneficiary from Trustor of sufficient cash funds to cover one
hundred percent (100 %) of any difference between the estimated costs of completion, as certified
by an architect or engineer approved by Beneficiary in writing, and the Proceeds, the amount of

thereon shall be released to Beneficiary, as necessary, following the exhaustion of available
insurance proceeds, or at such earlier time deemed appropriate by Beneficiary. In the event of
any default under the Agreement, this Deed of Trust, any other Transaction Documents or any
reconstruction requirements, Beneficiary may, at its option, apply any portion or all of such
amounts and interest against the accrued _interest and principal sums outstanding under the
Agreement or this Deed of Trust;

work to be performed in connection with such restoration and a certificate by an independent

certificate shall include its estimate of all costs and expenses that will be required to complete
such restorations; and
(f) Such additional conditions as may reasonably be imposed by Beneficiary

RVPUBOGW \6744247 11
same condition, to the extent possible, as existed prior to the damage, including, without
limitation, Beneficiary's prior written approval of all permits, plans, specifications and
construction contracts for such restoration.
13.2 Beneficiary shall disburse the Proceeds in increments corresponding to the
percentage of completion costs then incurred for labor performed and materials furnished (which
may, at Beneficiary's discretion, be subject to reasonable holdbacks required by Beneficiary, not
exceeding ten percent (10 %) of the total estimated cost of completion and which will be released
upon lien -free completion of the restorations in accordance with the requirements of this Deed of
Trust and the expiration of the periods within which any mechanic's or materialman's lien may
be filed). Disbursements shall be conditioned upon Beneficiary's written confirmation that all of
its conditions precedent to such disbursement have been satisfied, including its receipt of

approved by Beneficiary in writing, payment acknowledgments and unconditional lien releases,
and such other conditions to periodic disbursements as may be imposed by Beneficiary, no
defaults or misrepresentations of Trustor and Trustor s obtaining all title insurance endorsements,

less frequently than monthly, a certificate satisfactory to Beneficiary furnished by an architect or
engineer approved by Beneficiary in writing showing the cost of labor and materials
incorporated into the work during the period specified in the certificate, which period shall not
include any part of the period covered by any other such certificate; and
13.3 After completion of the restoration and subject to the conditions herein stated in
this Section 13, and, if Trustor is not then in default under the Agreement, this Deed of Trust or
any other Transaction Documents, Beneficiary shall pay to Trustor (or such other persons or
entities that may have an interest in the Proceeds) the undisbursed Proceeds and Trustor's deposit

certificate executed by Trustor showing that the work has been completed and that all bills for
labor performed and materials furnished in connection with the restoration work have been paid,

of occupancy and other permits issued by the appropriate governmental authorities authorizing
the occupancy of the Property for its intended purposes and use.
13.4 If (i) any of the conditions in subsection 13.3, are not fulfilled within sixty (60)
days after the date of the casualty, or if the reconstruction cannot be completed within such 60
day period, within such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to complete the
reconstruction, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, and provided such additional time
does not result in a breach by the Trustor under the Agreement, this Deed of Trust or any other
Transaction Documents; or (ii) if Trustor fails to exercise diligence in promptly commencing or
continuously prosecuting the work; or (iii) if Trustor is otherwise in default under the
Agreement, this Deed of Trust, any other Transaction Documents or any reconstruction
requirements set forth in this Deed of Trust or any other Transaction Documents, Beneficiary
RVPUB\DGW \674424.7 12
may, at its option, apply the Proceeds and any deposits made by Trustor under this Section 13 to
any amounts due under the Transaction Documents secured by this Deed of Trust, or to complete
the necessary repairs and use the Proceeds for the payment of the costs of such repairs If the
Proceeds are so applied to amounts secured by this Deed of Trust and, together with any other
payments due to Beneficiary under the Agreement and all other debts of Trustor to Beneficiary
secured by this Deed of Trust are discharged, Beneficiary shall not have the right to require the
Property to be repaired under the terms of this Deed of Trust, but Beneficiary's rights under any
other lien that it holds against the Property and which is not also required to be released shall not
be thereby impaired or affected.
13.5 Trustor shall not commence any repairs or reconstruction of any casualty until
Beneficiary consents in writing to such construction, which consent may be withheld by
Beneficiary in its sole discretion, until all of the conditions contained in this Section 13 are
satisfied. All work of repairing or restoring damage shall be done in a good and workmanlike
manner with materials of good quality and in conformity with all applicable laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations. Nothing in this Section 13 contained shall be construed as authorizing the
Trustor to subject the Property to any mechanic's, materialman's or other lien for the payment of
bills for material furnished or labor performed in connection with any work contemplated by this
Section 13.
13.6 In any event in which the Beneficiary is not otherwise obligated to permit the
insurance proceeds to be applied to the restoration of the Property as described in this Section 13
and, at the option of Beneficiary, the proceeds of a loss under any policy, whether or not
endorsed payable to Beneficiary, may be applied in payment of the principal, interest or any
other sums secured by this Deed of Trust, whether or not then due, or to the restoration or
replacement of any building on the Property, without in any way affecting the enforceability or
priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust or the obligation of the Trustor or any other person for
payment of any amounts secured by this Deed of Trust or the reconstruction of the damaged
improvements, whether such Trustor be the then owner of said building or improvements or not.
14. Use of Condemnation Awards. Should the Property, any portion of the Property or any
improvements on the Property be taken or damaged by reason of any public improvement or
condemnation proceeding, or by any other form of eminent domain, Trustor agrees that
Beneficiary shall be entitled to all compensation, awards and other payments or relief therefor
and may, at its option, commence, appear in or prosecute in its own name any action or
proceeding or make any reasonable compromise or settlement in connection with such taking or
damage, and Trustor agrees to pay Beneficiary's costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in
connection with any such action or proceeding. All such compensation, awards, damages, rights
of actions and proceeds may be applied by Beneficiary toward the repair of any damage to the
improvements on any portion of the Property not subject to the taking as and subject to the same
conditions set forth in Section 13 of this Deed of Trust with respect to the disposition of
insurance proceeds; provided, however, that if the taking results in a loss of the Property to an
extent which, in the reasonable opinion of Beneficiary, renders or will render the Property not
economically viable or which substantially impairs Beneficiary's security or lessens to any extent
the value, marketability or intended use of the Property, Beneficiary may apply the
condemnation proceeds to reduce any outstanding amounts secured by this Deed of Trust in such
order as Beneficiary may determine. Trustor agrees to execute such further assignments of
condemnation proceeds as Beneficiary or Trustee may from time to time require. If so applied,
RVPUBTGW�674424.7 13 -
any proceeds in excess of the sum of all outstanding amounts and accrued and unpaid interest
due under the Agreement, plus all other sums due to Beneficiary from Trustor shall be paid to
Trustor or Trustor's assignee.

Beneficiary with copies of official receipts for payment therefor, and shall pay all taxes imposed
upon, and reasonable costs, fees and expenses of, this Deed of Trust.
16. Assessment Districts. Trustor agrees not to consent to inclusion of the Land in any local
improvement or special assessment district or to the imposition of any special or local
improvement assessment against the Property, without Beneficiary's prior written consent.

federal, state or municipal law, ordinance or regulation relating to the taxation of mortgages,
deeds of trust or debts secured thereby so as to tax or assess any interest of Beneficiary or any
payments secured by this Deed of Trust,. Trustor shall bear and pay the full amount of such
taxes.
18. Snecial Assessment and Insurance Reserves. Trustor shall, at the request of the
Beneficiary, pay to Beneficiary equal monthly installments of the special assessments and
insurance premiums estimated by the Beneficiary next to become due, in addition to any other
periodic payment or performances owed by Trustor under the Agreement or this Deed of Trust or
any other, so that thirty (30) days before the due date thereof, or of the first installment thereof,
Beneficiary will have on hand an amount sufficient to pay the next maturing assessments and
insurance premiums. The amount of the monthly payment to be made on account of assessments
and insurance premiums shall be adjusted annually or more frequently as Beneficiary deems
necessary and any deficit shall be immediately paid by Trustor upon request and any surplus
shall be credited on the mortgage account. Subsequent payments on account of assessments and
insurance premiums shall be made in accordance with the next estimate by the Beneficiary of
annual requirements. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all monies paid to Beneficiary
on account of assessments or insurance premiums may be commingled and invested with
Beneficiary's own funds and, unless and to the extent required by law, shall not bear interest for
Trustor. Beneficiary shall not exercise the rights granted in this Section 18 so long as all of the
following conditions are met:
18.1 There is no default under the Agreement, this Deed of Trust or any other
Transaction Documents; and
18.2 Trustor pays all assessments and insurance premiums prior to delinquency.
18.3 Upon Trustor's failure to comply with either of conditions (a) or (b), above,

Trust or any other Transaction Documents; (b) Trustor makes any payment or deposit or posts
any bond as and when required as a condition to pursuing such contest; (e) Trustor commences
such contest prior to such tax or assessment becoming delinquent and continuously pursues the
same in good faith and with due diligence; (d) such contest or any bond furnished by Trustor

make or provide for making, on a timely basis, any reports or returns required by state or local
law relating to the Property, or the development of the Property, notwithstanding the fact that the
primary reporting responsibility may fall on the Beneficiary, or other party. Trustor's obligations
under this paragraph will be deemed to be satisfied, if proper and timely reports and returns
required under this Section 20 are filed by a title company involved in each real estate
transaction relating to the Property, but nothing contained in this Section 20 shall be construed to
require such returns or reports to be filed by Beneficiary.
21. Leases. With respect to any leases currently or hereafter relating to any portion of the
Property, Trustor agrees that:
21.1 Prior to the execution of any such lease or rental agreement by the Trustor, the

any such leasehold interest following any foreclosure or trustee's sale under this Deed of Trust.
22. Assignment of Leases. Trustor hereby unconditionally and absolutely assigns, transfers
and sets over unto Beneficiary, all leases, subleases, rental agreements, occupancy agreements,
licenses, concessions, entry fees and other agreements that grant a possessory interest in all or
any part of the Property, together with all rents, issues, deposits and profits of the Property,
together with the immediate and continuing right to collect and receive the same, for the purpose
and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Trustor further unconditionally and
absolutely assigns, transfers and sets over unto Beneficiary all of its right, title and interest in and
to any plans, drawings, specifications, permits, engineering reports and land planning maps, that
RVPUB\DGW674424.7 15
it now has or may hereafter acquire regarding any improvements now on or to be constructed
upon the Property. Beneficiary confers upon Trustor a license to collect and retain the rents,
issues, deposits and profits of the Property, as they become due and payable, subject, however, to
the right of Beneficiary upon a default under this Deed of Trust to revoke said license, at any
time, in its sole discretion and without notice to Trustor. Beneficiary may revoke said license and
collect and retain the rents, issues, deposits and profits of the Property assigned in this Deed of
Trust to Beneficiary upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust or
under any of the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, and without taking possession of all
or any part of the Property, and without prejudice to or limitation upon any of its additional
rights and remedies granted pursuant to this Deed of Trust or pursuant to the Agreement or any
other Transaction Documents, and Beneficiary shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, have the
right to apply such income for the payment of all expenses or credit the net amount of income
that it receives from the Property, to the indebtedness in the manner, order and amounts as
Beneficiary shall determine. In the event the Beneficiary exercises or is entitled to exercise any
of its rights or remedies under this Deed of Trust as a result of the default of the Trustor under
the Agreement, and if any lessee, sublessee or assignee under any lease assigned under this
Section 22 files or has filed against it any petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or
undertakes or is subject to similar action, Beneficiary shall have, and is hereby assigned by
Trustor, all of the rights that would otherwise inure to the benefit of Trustor in such proceedings,
including, without limitation, the right to seek "adequate protection" of its interests, to compel
assumption or rejection of any such lease and to seek such claims and awards as may be sought
or granted in connection with the rejection of any such lease. Unless otherwise agreed to by
Beneficiary in writing, Beneficiary's exercise of any of the rights provided in this Section 22
shall preclude Trustor from the pursuit and benefit of any such rights, without any further action
or proceeding of any nature. The foregoing assignment shall not impose upon Beneficiary any
duty to produce rents from the Property, and such assignment shall not cause Beneficiary to be a
"mortgagee in possession" for any purpose. The rights granted in this Section 22 shall be in
addition to and not in derogation of any similar or related rights granted to Beneficiary in any
separate assignment of leases and rents.
23. Impairment of Security. Trustor shall not, without first obtaining Beneficiary's written
consent, assign any of the rents or profits of the Property or change the general nature or use of
the Property or initiate or acquiesce in any zoning reclassification, or do, or suffer to be done,
any act or thing that would impair the security of Beneficiary's lien upon the Property or the rents
from the Property. Trustor shall not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, (i) initiate
or support any zoning reclassification of the Property, seek any variance under existing zoning
ordinances applicable to the Property or use or permit the use of the Property in a manner that
would result in such use becoming a non - conforming use under applicable zoning ordinances;
(ii) modify, amend or supplement any easement, reservation, restriction, covenant, condition or
encumbrance pertaining to the Property; (iii) impose or consent to any restrictive covenant or
encumbrance upon the Property, execute or file any subdivision or parcel map affecting the
Property or consent to the annexation of the Property to any municipality; or (iv) permit or suffer
the Property to be used by the public or any person in such manner as might make possible a
claim of any implied dedication or easement.
24. Defense of Suits. Trustor shall appear in and defend any suit, action or proceeding that
might affect the value, priority or enforceability of this Deed of Trust or the Property itself or the
RVPUB \DGW\674424.7 16
rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee, including any suits relating to damage to property or
death or personal injuries, whether or not Trustor is ultimately found liable for any negligence or
other wrongful conduct or inaction. Trustor, following mutual negotiations with Beneficiary, has
waived and does hereby waive any immunity to such liability to Beneficiary under any industrial
insurance or similar statute, to the extent such immunity would impair Beneficiary's rights
against Trustor. Should Beneficiary elect to appear in or defend any such action or proceeding or
be made a party to any such action or proceeding by reason of this Deed of Trust, or elect to
prosecute such action as appears necessary to preserve the value, priority or enforceability of this
Deed of Trust or the Property itself, Trustor will at all times indemnify from and, on demand,
reimburse Beneficiary and Trustee for, any and all loss, damage, expense or cost, including cost
of evidence of title, expert witness fees and attorneys' fees, arising out of or incurred in
connection with any such suit, action or proceeding, and any appeal or petition for review of any
such suit, action, or proceeding and the sum of such expenditures shall be secured by this Deed
of Trust with interest at the rate of 10% per annum and shall be due and payable on demand.
Trustor shall pay all costs of suit, cost of evidence of title, expert witness fees and reasonable
attorneys' fees in any action, proceeding or suit brought by Beneficiary to foreclose this Deed of
Trust and in any appeal or petition for review of any such action, proceeding or suit..
25. Assignments and Transfers. Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary relied upon Trustor's
financial statements, credit history, business and real property managerial expertise and other
factors personal to Trustor in entering into the Agreement, and Trustor covenants not to transfer
any of the interest in the Property or to permit the transfer of any interest in Trustor without first
receiving Beneficiary's express written consent in each instance. A breach of this covenant shall
constitute a default under the Agreement and this Deed of Trust. All sums then due to
Beneficiary by Trustor under this Deed of Trust or under the Agreement may, at Beneficiary's
option, be declared immediately due and payable if any of Trustor's interests in the Property, or
any part thereof, are sold or transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily, without Beneficiary's prior
written consent.
26. No Further Encumbrances. Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary relied upon the
Property not being subject to additional liens or encumbrances for reasons including, but not
limited to, the possibility of competing claims or the promotion of plans disadvantageous to
Beneficiary in bankruptcy; the risks to Beneficiary in a junior lienholder's bankruptcy; questions
involving the priority of future advances, the priority of future leases of the Property, the
marshaling of Trustor's assets, and the Beneficiary's rights to determine the application of
condemnation awards and insurance proceeds; the impairment of the Beneficiary's option to
accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure; the increased difficulty of reaching agreements for workouts
or to the actions to be taken by trustees, receivers, liquidators and fiduciaries; and Beneficiary's
requirements of Trustor's preservation of its equity in the Property and the absence of debt that
could increase the likelihood of Trustor's being unable to perform its obligations when due.
Therefore, as a principal inducement to Beneficiary to enter into the Agreement secured by this
Deed of Trust, and with the knowledge that Beneficiary will materially rely upon this Section 26
in so doing, Trustor covenants not to encumber the Property without.first receiving Beneficiary's
express written consent in each instance, which consent may be withheld by Beneficiary in its
sole discretion. A breach of this covenant shall constitute a default under the Agreement and this
Deed of Trust, and Beneficiary may exercise all remedies available to Beneficiary under the
Agreement or this Deed of Trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no mortgages,
RVPUB\DGWW4424.7 17
deeds of trust or other forms of security interests prior or subordinate to the security interests of
Beneficiary shall encumber any real or personal property that is the subject of any lien or
security interest granted to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, without Beneficiary's prior
written consent.
27. Event of Default. An "Event of Default" shall have occurred upon the occurrence of any
of the following events:
27.1 The Trustor or the Operator fails to perform any of the non - monetary covenants
and conditions of the Promissory Note or Section 6.3 or Section 6.4 of the Agreement, and such
failure is not cured to the Agency's reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days following
written notice of the failure to the Trustor or the Operator from the Agency or the expiration of
an applicable shorter cure period set forth in the Promissory Note or the Agreement; provided,
however, that for so long as the Trustor and the Operator are satisfying their joint and several
obligations to cause the generation of both the Minimum Assessed Valuation and the Minimum
Annual Sales Tax Amount or, alternatively, paying both the In -Lieu Tax Increment Payment and
the In -Lieu Minimum Sales Tax Payment, no default under this Deed of Trust shall occur by
virtue of any failure on the part of the Owner or the Operator to satisfy any of the other
covenants of either Section 6.3 or Section 6.4.
27.2 The determination by the Agency that any representation, warranty, disclosure or
statement of the Trustor or the Operator contained in the Agreement, the Promissory Note, this

respect as of the date made.
27.3 The Trustor or the Operator fails to make any payment or deposit of funds

forth in the notice cannot be cured by the date specified, (ii) Trustor commences to cure the
default prior to the date specified in the notice, and (iii) Trustor diligently proceeds to cure the
default thereafter; then the date specified in the notice shall be extended by any period
reasonably necessary to complete the cure, but in no event for more than ninety (90) days after

any part of the taxes, assessments, charges or liens required to be paid by the Trustor under this
Deed of Trust or changing, in any way, the laws relating to the taxation of deeds of trust or debts
secured by deeds of trust or the Agency's interest in the Property or the manner of collection of

under the Promissory Note or the holder thereof or imposing a tax, other than a Federal or state
income tax, on or payable by Trustee (as defined in this Deed of Trust) or the Agency by reason
of their ownership of this Deed of Trust or any related documents and, in such event, the Truster,
after demand by the Agency, does not pay such taxes or assessments or reimburse the.Agency
for such taxes and assessments or, in the opinion of counsel for the Agency, it might be unlawful
to require the Trustor to make such payment or the making of such payment might result in the
imposition of interest costs beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.
27.8 The occurrence of a default by the Trustor under any of the contracts or
agreements assigned to the Agency under this Deed of Trust, where such default is not cured
within the applicable cure period, if any, or the failure of the Trustor to diligently enforce its
rights and remedies under such contracts and agreements upon the default of any other party to
such contracts or agreements.

Agreement, the Promissory Note or this Deed of Trust.

RVPUMDGW %74424.7 20
28.3 Foreclosure Rights. Beneficiary may declare all performances or sums secured by
this Deed of Trust immediately due and/or payable either by commencing an action to foreclose
this Deed of Trust as a mortgage, or by the delivery to Trustee of a written declaration of default

rescind any such notice of breach or default and of election to cause the Property to be sold by
executing and delivering to Trustee a written notice of such rescission, which notice, when
recorded, shall also constitute a cancellation of any prior declaration of default and demand for
sale. The exercise by Beneficiary of such right of rescission shall not constitute a waiver of any
breach or default then existing or subsequently occurring, or impair the right of Beneficiary to
execute and deliver to Trustee, as provided in this Section 28, other declarations of default and
demand for sale, and notices of breach or default, and of election to cause the Property to be sold
to satisfy the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, nor otherwise affect any provision,

to both Beneficiary and Trustor. Upon repossession, Beneficiary may propose to retain the
collateral in partial satisfaction of the Obligations or sell the collateral at public or private sale in
accordance with the California Commercial Code or any other applicable statute. Such sale may
be held as a part of, distinctive from or without a trustee's sale or foreclosure of the real property
secured by this Deed of Trust. If any notification of disposition of all or any portion of the
collateral is required by law, such notification shall be deemed reasonably and properly given, if
mailed at least ten (10) days prior to such disposition. If Beneficiary disposes of all or any part of

Beneficiary; and
(c) to the satisfaction of the Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust.

required by this Deed of Trust, then Beneficiary or Trustee, without obligation so to do and
without demand upon Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation under this Deed
of Trust, may (i) make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as either may deem
necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to enter upon
the Property for such purposes; (ii) commence, appear in and defend any action or proceeding
purporting to affect the security of this Deed of Trust or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or
Trustee, (iii) pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge, lien, tax or

person who is paid by Beneficiary pursuant to the terms of this Section 28.6. Trustor shall repay

terminate in any lawful manner any lease(s) of the Property, exercising with respect to any such
lease(s) any right or option available to the Trustor. The entering upon and taking possession of
the Property, the collection of rents, issues and profits, or the proceeds of fire and other insurance

or release thereof shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Deed of Trust
or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
28.8 Collection of Rents. Beneficiary may require any tenant or other user of the
Property to make payments of rent or use fees directly to Beneficiary, regardless of whether
Beneficiary has taken possession of the Property. If any rents are collected by Beneficiary, then
Trustor hereby irrevocably designates Beneficiary as Trustor s attomey -in -fact to endorse
instruments received in payment of rents or use fees regarding the Property in the name of
Trustor and to negotiate the same and collect the proceeds. Payments by tenants or other users of
the Property to Beneficiary in response to Beneficiary's demand shall satisfy the obligation for
which the payments are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand existed.
Beneficiary may exercise its rights under this Section 28.8 either in person, by agent or through a
receiver.
RVPUBOGW\674424.7 22

court- appointed receiver, to enter upon the Property, or any part of the Property, and take
possession thereof forthwith to the extent necessary to effect the cure of any default on the part
of Trustor as lessor in any leases or upon Trustor's default under the Obligations. Trustor hereby
grants to Beneficiary full power and authority to exercise all rights, privileges and powers_
granted in this Deed of Trust at any and all times hereafter, without notice to Trustor, including

income assigned under this Deed of Trust to the payment of the costs of exercising such
remedies, of managing and operating the Property, and of any indebtedness or liability of Trustor
to Beneficiary, including but not limited to the payment of taxes, special assessments, insurance
premiums, damage claims, the costs of maintaining, repairing, rebuilding and restoring any
improvements on the Property or of making the same rentable, attorneys' fees incurred in
connection with the enforcement of this Deed of Trust, and any principal and interest payments
due from Trustor to Beneficiary under the Obligations and this Deed of Trust, all in such order as
Beneficiary may determine. Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to enforce any of the rights
or claims assigned to it under this Deed of Trust or to perform or carry out any of the obligations
of the lessor under any leases and does not assume any of the liabilities in connection with or
arising or growing out of the covenants and agreements of Trustor in any leases. It is further
understood that this Deed of Trust shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care,
management or repair of the Property, or parts of the Property, upon Beneficiary nor shall it
operate to make Beneficiary liable for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any
leases, or for any waste of the Property by the lessee under any leases or by any other party, or
for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any negligence in the
management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any
lessee, invitee, licensee, employee or stranger, except as may result from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Beneficiary after taking possession of the Property under this Deed of
Trust.
28.10 Beneficiary's Enforcement of Contracts. Beneficiary shall have the right to
enforce Trustor's rights under all architect, engineering, construction and related contracts and to
bring an action for the breach of any such contracts in the name of Beneficiary or, at
Beneficiary's option, in the-name of Trustor, in the event any architect, engineer, contractor or
other party breaches their respective contract or contracts, regardless of whether Beneficiary
acquires or retains any interest in the Property. Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary
as its attorney -in -fact for the purposes of the foregoing, which power shall be durable and
coupled with an interest. Beneficiary does not assume and shall not be obligated to perform any
of Trustor's obligations under said contracts nor shall Beneficiary be required to enforce such
contracts or bring action for the breach of any such contracts; provided however, any
performance of the respective contracts specifically required by the Beneficiary in writing,
following any default by Trustor under the Obligations or the contracts, and which is properly
and timely undertaken by the contractor, engineer or architect, shall be paid for by the
Beneficiary in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts. Such payments shall be
deemed additions to the amounts owed by Trustor to the Beneficiary under the Obligations and
RVPUB\DGM674424.7 23
secured by this Deed of Trust and shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the date
of advance to and including the date of full payment, and shall be secured by any deed of trust,
collateral assignment of leases and rents, security agreement and other documents granted to
secure the Obligations.
28.11 Appointment of Receiver. Beneficiary has the right to have a receiver appointed
to take possession of any or all of the Property, with the power to protect and preserve the
Property, to operate the Property preceding foreclosure or sale, to collect the income from the
Property and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the
Obligations. The receiver may serve without bond, if permitted by law. Beneficiary's right to the
appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Property exceeds
the Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust by a substantial amount. Employment by
Beneficiary shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver. Upon taking possession of
all or any part of the Property, the receiver or Beneficiary may: (i) use, operate, manage, control
and conduct business on the Property and make expenditures for all maintenance and
improvements as in its judgment are necessary and proper; (ii) collect the income from the
Property and apply such sums to the expenses of use, operation and management; and (iii) at
Beneficiary's option, complete any construction in progress on the Property, and in that
connection pay bills, borrow funds, employ contractors and make any changes in plans or
specifications as Beneficiary deems reasonably necessary or appropriate. If the revenues
produced by the Property are insufficient to pay expenses, the receiver may borrow, from
Beneficiary or otherwise, as Beneficiary may deem reasonably necessary for the purposes stated
in this Section 28.11. The amounts borrowed or advanced shall be payable on demand and bear
interest from the date of expenditure until repaid at the rate of 10% per annum. Such sums shall
become a part of the debt secured by this Deed of Trust.
28.12 Specific Enforcement. Beneficiary may specifically enforce any covenant in this
Deed of Trust or the Trustor's compliance with its warranties in this Deed of Trust and may
restrain or enjoin the breach or prospective breach of any such covenant or the noncompliance
with any condition and Trustor waives any requirement of the posting of any bond in connection
with such enforcement, restraint or injunction.
28.13 General Creditors' Remedies. Beneficiary shall have such other rights and
remedies as are available under any statute or at law or in equity, generally, and the delineation
of certain remedies in this Deed of Trust shall not be deemed in limitation of any other remedies
of Beneficiary.
29. Application of Sale Proceeds. After deducting all costs and expenses of Trustee and of
this Deed of Trust, including cost of evidence of title and reasonable attorneys' fees in
connection with sale, as above set forth, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of
all sums expended under the terms of this Deed of Trust, not then repaid, with accrued interest at
the rate of 10% per annum; all other sums then secured by this Deed of Trust; and the remainder,
if any, to the Beneficiary and any other person or persons legally entitled to such proceeds of
sale.
30. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Beneficiary
in this Deed of Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy provided in this Deed of
Trust or under the Agreement or any other Grant Documents, or otherwise by law provided or
RVPUB \DGW\674424.7 24
permitted, or provided in any guaranty given in connection with the Obligations, but each shall
be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy. Every power or remedy given by
this Deed of Trust to Trustee or Beneficiary or to which either of them may be otherwise
entitled, may be exercised concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may
be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary and either of them may pursue inconsistent
remedies.
31. No Waiver. No waiver of any default or failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy
by Beneficiary or Trustee shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default in
the future or a preclusion of any right or remedy with respect to the same or any other
occurrence.
32. Marshaline. In case of a sale under this Deed of Trust, the Property, real, personal and
mixed, may be sold in one or more parcels. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be required to

Beneficiary from and against any and all losses, liabilities, penalties, claims, charges, costs and
expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements) (the "Losses ") that may be imposed on,
incurred or paid by or asserted against Trustee and/or Beneficiary by reason or on account of, or
in connection with: (a) any default by Trustor under this Deed of Trust or the Agreement; (b)
Trustee's and/or Beneficiary's good faith and commercially reasonable exercise of any of their
rights and remedies or the performance of any of their duties under this Deed of Trust or under
any other documents to which Trustor is a party; (c) the construction, reconstruction or alteration
of the Property; (d) any negligence, willful misconduct or failure to act of Trustor, or any
negligence, willful misconduct or failure to act of any lessee of the Property, or any of their
respective agents, contractors, subcontractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees; or (e)
any accident, injury, death or damage to any person or property occurring in, on or about the
Property or any street, drive, sidewalk, curb or passageway adjacent to the Property, except for
the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the indemnified person; or (f) any failure of
Trustor to file any tax reports or returns referred to in this Deed of Trust. The indemnity provided
under subsection (f) of this Section 34 shall also extend to counsel for the Beneficiary. Any
amount payable to Trustee, Beneficiary or counsel for Beneficiary under this Section 34 shall be
due and payable within ten (10) days after demand for payment of such amount and receipt by
Trustor of a statement from Trustee, Beneficiary and/or counsel for Beneficiary setting forth in
reasonable detail the amount claimed and the basis for such amount, and such amounts shall bear
interest at the rate of 10% per annum from and after the date such amounts are paid by
Beneficiary, Trustee or counsel for Beneficiary, until paid in full by Trustor. Trustor's
obligations under this paragraph shall not be affected by the absence or unavailability of

obligation on its part under any policy of insurance. If any claim, action or proceeding is made or
brought against Trustor and/or Beneficiary that is subject to the indemnity set forth in this
Section 34, Trustor shall resist or defend against the same, if necessary, in the name of Trustee
and/or Beneficiary, with attorneys for Trustor's insurance carrier (if the same is covered by
insurance) or otherwise by attorneys approved by Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Trustee and Beneficiary, in their reasonable discretion, may engage their own attorneys to resist
or defend, or assist therein, and Trustor shall pay, or, on demand, shall reimburse Trustee and
Beneficiary for the payment of the reasonable fees and disbursements of said attorneys. The
indemnity provided for in this Section 34 shall survive Trustor's performance of the Obligations
secured by this Deed of Trust and foreclosure, whether by judicial foreclosure, power of sale
pursuant to this Deed of Trust or by deed in lieu of foreclosure.
35. Attorneys' Fees: Costs. Trustor agrees to reimburse Beneficiary for all costs, expenses

including without limitation any costs, expenses and fees incurred: (a) on appeal; (b) in any
arbitration or mediation; (c) in any action contesting or seeking to restrain, enjoin, stay, or
postpone the exercise of any remedy in which Beneficiary prevails; (d) in any bankruptcy,
probate, receivership or other proceeding involving Trustor; and (e) in connection with all
RVPUB \DGW\674424.7 26
negotiations, documentation, and other actions relating to any work -out, compromise, settlement
or satisfaction of the debt secured by this Deed of Trust or settlement of any covenants and
obligations secured by this Deed of Trust or set forth in the Agreement or any other Transaction
Documents. For the purposes of this Deed of Trust, the words "reasonable attorneys' fees" shall
mean and include the salaries and fringe benefits of the City Attorney and lawyers employed by
the City Attorney of the City of Arcadia, computed on a hourly basis, who may provide legal
services to the Beneficiary in connection with the exercise by the Beneficiary of any of its
remedies under this Deed of Trust. All such costs, expenses and fees shall be due and payable
upon demand, shall bear interest from the date incurred through the date of collection at the rate
of lfto per annum, and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.

Beneficiary, or Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in
writing executed by Beneficiary and duly recorded. In case of the death, resignation, removal or
disqualification of Trustee or if for any reason Beneficiary shall deem it desirable to appoint a
substitute or successor trustee to act instead of Trustee named in this Deed of Trust or any
substitute or successor trustee, then Beneficiary shall have the right and is hereby authorized and
empowered to appoint a successor trustee, or a substitute trustee, without other formality than
appointment and designation in writing executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary and the
recordation of such writing in the office where this Deed of Trust is recorded, and such authority
shall extend to the appointment of other successor and substitute trustees successively. Such
appointment and designation by Beneficiary shall be full evidence of the right and authority to
make the same and of all facts therein recited. If such appointment is executed on behalf of
Beneficiary by an officer of Beneficiary, such appointments shall be conclusively presumed to be
executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the
Trustee or any officer of Beneficiary. Upon the making of such appointment and designation, all
of the estate and title of Trustee in the Property shall vest in the named successor or substitute
trustee and it shall thereupon succeed to and shall hold, possess and execute all the rights,
powers, privileges, immunities and duties conferred upon Trustee in this Deed of Trust; but,
nevertheless, upon the written request of Beneficiary or of the successor substitute trustee, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor or substitute
trustee all of the estate and title in the Property of the trustee so ceasing to act, together with all
the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties conferred upon Trustee in this Deed of
Trust, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the properties and moneys held by the
Trustee under this Deed of Trust to said successor or substitute trustee. All references in this
Deed of Trust to Trustee shall be deemed to refer to any trustee (including any successor or
substitute, appointed and designated, as provided in this Deed of Trust) from time to time acting
under this Deed of Trust. Trustor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts that Trustee
named in this Deed of Trust or its successor or successors, substitute or substitutes, in this Deed
of Trust, shall do lawfully by virtue of this Deed of Trust.
38. Reconveyance.

RVPUB\DGWW"24.7 27
Trust to Trustee for cancellation and retention, and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall
reconvey, without warranty, the Property then held under this Deed of Trust. The recitals in any
reconveyance executed under this Deed of Trust of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof
of the truthfulness of such matters. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as "the
person or persons legally entitled thereto."
39. No Releases. The Property shall not be released from the lien of this Deed of Trust and
no person shall be released from liability under the Agreement or any other obligation secured by
this Deed of Trust, except in the manner specified in this Deed of Trust. Without affecting the
liability of any other person for the payment and performance of any obligation secured by this
Deed of Trust (including Trustor should it convey said Property) and without affecting the lien or
priority of this Deed of Trust upon any Property not released, Beneficiary may, without notice,
release any person so liable, extend the maturity or modify the terms of any such obligation,
grant other indulgences, make future or other advances to Trustor or any one or more parties
comprising Trustor, assign or in any manner transfer this Deed of Trust, release or reconvey or
cause to be released or reconveyed at any time all or part of the said Property described in this
Deed of Trust, take or release any other security or make compositions or other arrangements
with debtors. Beneficiary may also accept additional security, either concurrently with this Deed
of Trust or thereafter, and sell same or otherwise realize thereon, either before, concurrently
with, or after sale under this Deed of Trust.
40. Beneficiary's Consents. At any time, upon written request of Trustor, Trustor's payment
of Beneficiary's fees and .presentation of this Deed of Trust (in case of full reconveyance, for
cancellation and retention), without affecting the liability of any person under the Agreement, the
Beneficiary may for the purposes of accommodating the Trustor's construction of the Expansion

preparation, execution, recording, filing and refiling of any such instrument or document,
including the charges for examining title and the attorneys' fees for rendering an opinion as to
priority of this Deed of Trust and of such chattel mortgage or other security instrument as a valid
and subsisting lien. However, neither a request so made by Beneficiary, nor the failure of
Beneficiary to make such request shall be construed as a release of such Property, or any part of
such Property, from the conveyance of title under this Deed of Trust, it being understood and
RVPUB\DGWW74424.7 28
agreed that this covenant and any such chattel mortgage, security agreement or other similar

then on such following scheduled debt service payment date, any Additional Tax
Revenues shall first be applied to pay the balance of the deficiency debt service amount
carried forward and, then, to pay the scheduled debt service payment due on such date.
On the Maturity Date, a balloon payment of any and all remaining principal balance and
accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable by Borrower to the Agency in
immediately available funds of the Borrower and not from Additional Tax Revenues.

Agency in writing or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any
unpaid collection costs, then to any late charges, then to any unpaid interest, and any
remaining amount will be applied to principal.

the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
RVPUB\DGW\674424.7
c. Payment or prepayment of this Promissory Note shall not relieve Borrower of the
covenants, conditions and obligations set forth in the Agreement, except the
obligation to pay all amounts due under this Promissory Note.
d. It is the intention of Borrower and Holder to conform strictly to the usury laws
now or hereafter enforced in the State of California, and any interest payable
under this Promissory Note or any of the other documents to be executed by
Borrower in connection with the loan or advance of funds made or to be made
under this Promissory Note, shall be subject to reduction to the amount not in
excess of the maximum non - usurious amount allowed under the usury laws of the
State of California as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction
over such matters. In the event the maturity of this Promissory Note is
accelerated by reason of any provision of this Promissory Note or by reason of
any election by Holder resulting from any default (or an event permitting
acceleration), under this Promissory Note or any other instrument given to secure
the payment of this Promissory Note, or otherwise, then accrued interest may
never include more than the maximum amount permitted by law, computed from
the date of this Promissory Note until payment, and any interest in excess of the
maximum amount permitted by law shall be canceled automatically and, if
theretofore paid, shall at the option of the Holder either be credited against the
principal amount of this Promissory Note or, if all principal has been repaid, then
the excess shall be rebated to Borrower. The aggregate of all interest (whether
designated as interest, service charges, points, or otherwise) contracted for,
chargeable, or receivable under this Promissory Note or any other document
executed in connection with this Promissory Note shall under no circumstances
exceed the maximum legal rate upon the unpaid principal balance of this
Promissory Note remaining unpaid from time to time. In the event such interest
does exceed the maximum legal rate, such excess shall be canceled automatically
and, if theretofore paid, rebated to the Borrower or credited on the principal
amount of this Promissory Note, or if this Promissory Note has been repaid in
full, then such excess shall be rebated to Borrower.
e. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision or provisions of this
Promissory Note as to any persons or circumstances shall not render that
provision or those provisions unenforceable or invalid as to any other person or
circumstances, and all provisions of this Promissory Note, in all other respects,
shall remain valid and enforceable.
f. Borrower agrees to indemnify Holder and to hold Holder and Holder's successors
and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, costs,
liabilities and obligations of any kind or nature arising from any default under
this Promissory Note, including, without limitation, all costs of collection,
including attorneys' and expert witness fees and all cost of suit, in the event the
unpaid principal sum of this Promissory Note or any interest accrued on this
Promissory Note is not paid when due.
