Documents
[NOTICE TO BORROWER: THE DEED OF TRUST
REFERRED TO BELOW SECURES PAYMENT OF A SHARED APPRECIATION LOAN WITHIN THE
MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE §1917 ET SEQ.]
This Modification of Note, Deed of Trust and Other
Loan Documents (this "Agreement") is executed as of [Date] _________
between _________, a _________ ("Lender") and _________, a
_________("Borrower"), with reference to the following facts:
A. Borrower executed that certain Promissory Note
dated _________, in the original principal amount of $_____(the
"Note"), payable to Lender. The Note is secured by, among other
documents, (i) a Deed of Trust and Security Agreement with Assignment of Rents
and Fixture Filing [Dated _________] (the "Deed of Trust"), executed
by Borrower, as Trustor, to _________, a _________, as Trustee, for the benefit
of Lender, as Beneficiary, which Deed of Trust was recorded on [Date]
_________, as Instrument No. _________ of the Official Records of _________
County, California (the "Official Records") and (ii) an Assignment of
Leases [Dated _________] (the "Assignment of Leases") executed by
Borrower, as assignor, to Lender, as assignee, which Assignment of Leases was
recorded on [Date] _________ as Instrument No. _________ of the Official
Records. The Deed of Trust encumbers a fee [leasehold] estate in certain real
property located in _________ County, California, more particularly described
therein, together with certain other personal property and other property as
set forth therein (collectively, the "Property").
B. The Note, the Deed of Trust, the Assignment of
Leases, the [Unsecured] Indemnity Agreement (the "Indemnity
Agreement") executed by Borrower and _________ in favor of Lender dated
_________, and the other Loan Documents (as such term is defined in the Deed of
Trust), are referred to in this Agreement as the "Loan Documents."
C. The parties here now wish to amend and modify the
Loan Documents in certain respects.
In consideration of the foregoing and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
acknowledged here, the parties agree as follows:
1. Outstanding Balance. As of [Date] _________, the
outstanding principal balance on the Note is $_____. Borrower acknowledges that
it has no existing and asserted (and no basis for any unasserted) claims,
counterclaims, defenses, or rights of setoff whatsoever with respect to any
payment obligations under the Note or any other obligations under any of the
Loan Documents, and any such claims, counterclaims, defenses, and rights of
setoff are hereby waived and relinquished.
2. Representations of Borrower.
(a). Title to the Property. Borrower hereby represents
and warrants that (i) Borrower lawfully possesses and holds fee simple
[leasehold] title to all of the Property which is real property, and the Deed of
Trust is a first and prior lien on that property; (ii) Borrower owns all of the
Property which is personal property free and clear of any security agreements,
reservations of title and conditional sales contracts; and (iii) there is no
financing statement affecting any such personal property on file in any public
office other than financing statements in favor of Lender.
(b). Environmental Matters. Borrower hereby
acknowledges that Lender has made a written request to Borrower for information
concerning the environmental condition of the Property, including, without
limitation, (i) the presence, alleged presence, or threatened presence, and
(ii) the release, alleged release, or threatened release, of Hazardous
Materials (as such term is defined in the Indemnity Agreement) on, under, in,
from, or about the Property. Borrower hereby represents, warrants, and
certifies to Lender that neither Borrower nor any agent, affiliate, cotenant,
partner, or joint venturer of Borrower has actual knowledge or notice of the
presence, alleged presence, threatened presence, release, alleged release, or
threatened release of Hazardous Materials on, under, in, from, or about the
Property, except as has been disclosed to Lender in writing. As used here, the
term "release" has the meaning assigned to such term in California
Code of Civil Procedure §§ 726.5 and 736, as such Sections may be amended from
time to time.
3. Modification of Loan Documents. The Loan Documents
are modified as follows:
(a). The Note is modified as follows:
(b). The Deed of Trust is modified as follows:
(c). The Assignment of Leases is modified as follows:
(d). The Indemnity Agreement is modified as follows:
[Consider including the following
sections 4, 5 and 6 for loans made before 1992.]
4. Additional Rights of Lender. Lender shall have the
following rights in addition to its other rights set forth in the Deed of Trust
and in the other Loan Documents, and Lender may, without notice to or demand
upon Borrower, without releasing Borrower from any obligation under any of the
Loan Documents and in addition to and without waiving its other rights under
the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, do the following:
(a). Waiver of Security. In accordance with California
Code of Civil Procedure §726.5, as that Section may be amended from time to
time, Lender may waive the security of the Deed of Trust and the other Loan
Documents for any parcel of Property that is real property that is
"environmentally impaired" or is an "affected parcel" (as
those terms are defined in that Section), and as to any Property which is
personal property attached to such parcel, and thereafter exercise against
Borrower, to the extent permitted by such Section 726.5, the rights and
remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of Lender's claim
against Borrower to judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted by
law. Borrower waives the provisions of Section 726.5(c), as that Section may be
amended from time to time, and acknowledges and agrees that this waiver was
signed by Borrower for good and valuable consideration, as Borrower's informed
and voluntary act, after the occurrence of a default under the Loan Documents.
Borrower shall pay all expenses, costs, and other amounts incurred by Lender in
connection with any proceeding under California Code of Civil Procedure Section
726.5.
(i). Borrower and Lender acknowledge that pursuant to
California Code of Civil Procedure §726.5, Lender's rights under that Section
are limited to instances in which Borrower or any affiliate, agent, cotenant,
partner, or joint venturer of Borrower either (A) caused, contributed to,
permitted, or acquiesced in the release (as defined in that Section 726.5) or
threatened release of toxic or hazardous waste or waste products, or (B) had
actual knowledge or notice of such release or threatened release before the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and failed to disclose such release or
threatened release to Lender in writing after Lender's written request for
information concerning the environmental condition of the Property, unless
Lender otherwise obtained actual knowledge of such release or threatened
release before the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
(b).
Environmental Claims. In accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure §736,
as that Section may be amended from time to time, Lender may bring an action
for breach of contract against Borrower for breach of any "environmental
provision" (as that term is defined in that Section 736) made by Borrower
here, in the Indemnity Agreement, or any other Loan Document, for the recovery
of damages (including attorneys' fees and
costs) and/or for the enforcement of the environmental
provision (including without limitation to recover all costs and expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with any Remedial Work (as that term is
defined in the Indemnity Agreement and in the Deed of Trust)) without
foreclosing the Deed of Trust judicially or nonjudicially or accepting a deed
or assignment in lieu of foreclosure. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender, upon
Lender's demand, all expenses, costs, and other amounts incurred by Lender in
connection with any such action under that Section 736.
(c). Environmental Inspections. Lender shall have all
rights of a lender under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 2929.5, as
that Section may be amended from time to time. Borrower agrees to cooperate
with Lender to facilitate those inspections. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender,
upon Lender's demand, all expenses, costs, or other amounts incurred by Lender in
performing any inspection and/or testing for the purposes set forth in that
Section 2929.5.
(d). Right to Appointment of a Receiver. Lender shall
have all rights of a lender under California Code of Civil Procedure §564, as
that Section may be amended from time to time. Borrower agrees to pay to
Lender, upon Lender's demand, all expenses, costs, and other amounts incurred
by Lender in connection with any appointment of a receiver under that Section
564.
5. Personal Obligations of Borrower. Lender shall have
the rights specified in Section 4 of this Agreement notwithstanding any
limitations on the liability of Borrower contained here or in any other Loan
Documents, including without limitation Section [_________] of the Deed of
Trust, Section [_________] of the Note, or Section [_________] of the
Assignment of Leases. In particular, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Lender may, to the extent permitted under California Code of Civil
Procedure §726.5, as that Section may be amended from time to time, exercise
against Borrower the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, in which
case Borrower promises to pay to Lender, on demand by Lender following such
exercise, all amounts owed to Lender under any Loan Document, and Borrower
agrees that it will be personally liable for the payment of all such sums.
6. Indemnity Agreement and Environmental Provisions.
Before the reconveyance of the lien of the Deed of Trust, or the extinguishment
of the lien by foreclosure or action in lieu thereof, the Indemnity Agreement
shall be secured by the Deed of Trust, and the Deed of Trust is hereby modified
to secure the Indemnity Agreement; provided that the Indemnity Agreement shall
survive such reconveyance or extinguishment and thereafter be unsecured.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provisions in the Indemnity Agreement, the
Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents restricting the right to bring
certain claims with respect to environmental provisions until after the Deed of
Trust has been reconveyed or extinguished by foreclosure or action in lieu
thereof, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure §736, as that Section
may be amended from time to time, before such reconveyance or extinguishment Lender
may enforce the Indemnity Agreement or any "environmental provision"
(as that term is defined in that Section 736) of the Deed of Trust or the other
Loan Documents without foreclosing the Deed of Trust judicially or
nonjudicially or accepting a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure.
Notwithstanding any provision in any Loan Document to the contrary, the
Indemnity Agreement shall be a Loan Document for all purposes under the Note,
the Deed of Trust, the Assignment of Leases, and each of the other Loan
Documents.
7. Conforming Modifications. Each of the Note, the
Deed of Trust, and the other Loan Documents is hereby modified to provide that
all references there to the "Note," the "Deed of Trust" or
any other "Loan Document" shall be deemed to refer to the Note, the
Deed of Trust, and any such other Loan Document as amended here. The Deed of
Trust is modified to provide that the Deed of Trust secures the Note, as
amended here, in addition to and not in limitation of all other indebtedness
and obligations stated in the Deed of Trust to be secured. It is the intention
of the parties that this Agreement shall be deemed to form a part of the Note
and a part of the Deed of Trust and shall always be construed as amending the
Note and the Deed of Trust; except as specifically supplemented and amended
here, the Note and the Deed of Trust shall each remain unaffected and unchanged
by reason of this Agreement in that the Deed of Trust as amended shall remain
one deed of trust with one power of sale.
8. Release of Claims.
(a). Release
of All Claims. Borrower, on behalf of itself, its general partners, its
affiliates and its and their successors and assigns (collectively, the
"Releasing Parties"), releases and forever discharges Lender and all
of its
subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys, advisors, successors, and assigns
(collectively, the "Releasing Parties") from any and all claims,
demands, debts, liabilities, contracts, obligations, accounts, torts, causes of
action, or claims for relief of whatever kind or nature, whether known or
unknown, whether suspected or unsuspected, that the Releasing Parties may have
or which may hereafter be asserted or accrue against Released Parties, or any
of them, resulting from or in any way relating to any act or omission done or
committed by Released Parties, or any of them, before the date here.
(b). Release Includes Unknown Claims. The releases
contained in paragraph (a) above and in this paragraph (b) apply to all claims
that the Releasing Parties have or which may arise against the Released
Parties, or any of them, as a result of acts or omissions occurring before the
date here, whether or not known or suspected by the parties. Borrower expressly
acknowledges that although it may be that ordinarily a general release does not
extend to claims which the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in
his or her favor, which if known by him or her must have materially affected
his or her settlement with the party released, it has carefully considered and
taken into account in determining to enter into this Agreement the possible
existence of such unknown losses or claims.
(i). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Borrower expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by any statute
or rule of law which provides that a release does not extend to claims which
the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time
of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected
his or her settlement with the released party, including, without limitation,
the following provision of California Code of Civil Procedure §1542:
"A general release does not extend to claims
which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his [or her] favor at
the time of executing the release, which if known by him [or her] must have
materially affected his [or her] settlement with the debtor."
(c). Complete Defense. This release by Releasing
Parties shall constitute a complete defense to any claim, cause of action,
defense, contract, liability, indebtedness, or obligation released pursuant to
this release. Nothing in this release shall be construed as (or shall be
admissible in any legal action or proceeding as) an admission by Lender or any
other Released Party that any defense, indebtedness, obligation, liability,
claim, or cause of action exists which is within the scope of those released
here.
9. No Rights Conferred on Others. Nothing contained in
this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall be construed as giving any person,
other than the parties here, any right, remedy, or claim under or in respect of
this Agreement or the Loan Documents except for the rights granted to the
Released Parties in Section 8 here.
10. Confirmation of Obligations. Except to the extent
modified by this Agreement, Borrower confirms each of the covenants,
agreements, and obligations of Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents.
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if and to the extent that Lender has not
previously required strict compliance with the performance by Borrower of those
covenants, agreements, and obligations, such action or inaction shall not
constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect in any manner, Lender's rights and
remedies under the Loan Documents, as amended here, including the right to
require performance of those covenants, agreements, and obligations strictly in
accordance with the terms and provisions there. Lender reserves all rights
which it has against any guarantor or endorser of the Note.
11. Waiver of Certain Rights. In consideration of
Lender's agreements here, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower
expressly waives and agrees not to assert Cal Civ Proc Code §§580a, 580b, 580d,
or 726, or all of them, as each may be amended and modified from time to time,
as a defense to its obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents.
12. Non-Impairment. Except as expressly provided in
this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall (a) alter or affect
any provision, condition, or covenant contained in the Note, the Deed of Trust,
or the other Loan Documents or affect or impair any rights, powers, or remedies
under it, it being the intent here that the provisions of the Note, the Deed of
Trust, and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect
except as expressly modified here, or (b) be deemed or construed to be an
impairment of the lien of the Deed of Trust, and the lien of the Deed of Trust
shall remain a first lien encumbering the property covered by the Deed of
Trust.
13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered to Lender
will be deemed to be an original, and all of which, taken together, will be
deemed to be one and the same instrument.
14. Prior Agreements. The Loan Documents, including
this Agreement (a) integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned in or
incidental to the Loan Documents; (b) supersede all oral negotiations and prior
and other writings with respect to the subject matter thereof; and (c) are
intended by the parties as the final expression of the agreement with respect
to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents and as the complete
and exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by the parties. If there is any
conflict between the terms, conditions, and provisions of this Agreement and
those of any of the Loan Documents, the terms, conditions, and provisions of
this Agreement shall prevail.
15. Legend. Lender may place an appropriate legend on
the Note indicating the existence of this Agreement.
16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. If any
court of competent jurisdiction determines any provision of this Agreement or
any of the Loan Documents to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that
portion shall be deemed severed from the rest, which shall remain in full force
and effect as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable portion had never
been a part hereof or of the Loan Documents.
In witness, the parties have executed this Agreement
as of the date first set forth above.
