its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written
notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is

in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by

to Lender of the Related Documents, regardless of any investigation made
by Xxxxxx or on Xxxxxx's behalf.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the performance of this
Agreement.
WAIVER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Xxxxxx. No
delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Xxxxxx
of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a
waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that
provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by
Xxxxxx, nor any course of dealing between Xxxxxx and Borrower, or between
Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's
rights or of any obligations of Borrower or of any Grantor as to any
future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under
this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance
shall not constitute continuing consent in subsequent instances where
such consent is required, and in all cases such consent may be granted or
withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX, XX 00000 XXXXXX, XX 00000
================================================================================
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $500,000.00 DATE OF NOTE: JUNE 22, 2001
PROMISE TO PAY.
CALIFORNIA BEACH RESTAURANTS, INC. ("Borrower") promises to pay
to U.S. Bank National Association ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the
United States of America, the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand &
00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with
interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest
shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each
advance.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding
principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on September 15, 2002. In addition,
Xxxxxxxx will pay regular monthly payments of accrued unpaid interest beginning
July 6, 2001, and all subsequent interest payments are due on the same day of
each month after that. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a
365/360 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. Borrower
will pay Lender at Xxxxxx's address shown above or at such other place as
Lender may designate in writing.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change
from time to time based on changes in an index which is the prime rate (the
"Index"). The unpaid principal balance will bear interest at an annual rate
equal to the percentage point described below plus the prime rate announced by
the Lender. Lender will tell Borrower the current index rate upon Xxxxxxxx's
request. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates
as well. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each time that
the prime rate changes. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal
balance of this Note will be at a rate of 1,000 percentage point over the
Index. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be
more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
PREPAYMENT. Xxxxxxxx agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance
charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to
refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except
as otherwise required by law.
Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of
the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed
to by Xxxxxx in writing, relieve Xxxxxxxx of Xxxxxxxx's obligation to continue
to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, they will reduce the
principal balance due.
DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens: (a)
Borrower fails to make any payment when due. (b) Borrower breaks any promise
Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply with or to perform
when due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this
Note or any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or loan
Borrower has with Lender. (c) Borrower defaults under any loan, extension of
credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other
agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect
any of Borrower's property or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform
Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the Related Documents, (d) Any
representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on
Borrower's behalf is false or misleading in any material respect either now or
at the time made or furnished. (e) Xxxxxxxx becomes insolvent, a receiver is
appointed for any part of Xxxxxxxx's property, Xxxxxxxx makes an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or
against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws. (f) Borrower is in
default under any other note, security agreement, lease agreement or lease
schedule, loan agreement or other agreement, whether now existing or hereafter
made, between Borrower and U.S. Bancorp or any direct or indirect subsidiary of
U.S. Bancorp. (g) Any creditor tries to take any of Borrower's property on or
in which Lender has a lien or security interest. This includes a garnishment of
any of Xxxxxxxx's accounts with Xxxxxx. (h) Any guarantor dies or any of the
other events described in this default section occurs with respect to any
guarantor of this Note. (i) A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's
financial condition, or Xxxxxx believes the prospect of payment or performance
of the Indebtedness is impaired. (j) Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx itself insecure.
LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Xxxxxx may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, without
notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount. Upon Xxxxxxxx's failure to pay
all amounts declared due pursuant to this section, including failure to pay
upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may also, if permitted under
applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 6.000
percentage points over the Index. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help
collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Xxxxxxxx also will pay Lender that
amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Xxxxxx's
attorneys' fees and Xxxxxx's legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit,
including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings
(including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction),
appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Xxxxxxxx also
will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law. This
Note has been delivered to Lender and accepted by Lender in the State of
California. If there is a lawsuit, Xxxxxxxx agrees upon Xxxxxx's request to
submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Sacramento County, the State of
California. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any
action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Xxxxxx or Borrower
against the other. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual security interest in,
and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender all
Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Xxxxxxxx's accounts with Lender
(whether checking, savings, or some other account), including without
limitation all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts
Borrower may open in the future, excluding however all IRA and Xxxxx accounts,
and all trust accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be
prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Xxxxxx, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on this Note against any and
all such accounts.
LINE OF CREDIT. This Note evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances under
this Note may be requested either orally or in writing by Borrower or by an
authorized person. Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requests be
confirmed in writing. All communications, instructions, or directions by
telephone or otherwise to Lender are to be directed to Xxxxxx's office shown
above. Xxxxxxxx agrees to be liable for all sums either: (a) advanced in
accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (b) credited to any
of Xxxxxxxx's accounts with Xxxxxx. The unpaid principal balance owing on this
Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Xxxxxx's
internal records, including daily computer print-outs. Lender will have no

Lender, shall be payable on demand or shall be added to the indebtedness as

================================================================================
XXXXXXXX'S WAIVERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Except as otherwise required under this
Agreement or by applicable law, (a) Borrower agrees that Lender need not tell
Borrower about any action or inaction Lender takes in connection with this
Agreement; (b) Borrower assumes the responsibility for being and keeping
informed about the Collateral; and (c) Borrower waives any defenses that may
arise because of any action or inaction of Lender, including without limitation
any failure of Lender to realize upon the Collateral or any delay by Lender in
realizing upon the Collateral; and Xxxxxxxx agrees to remain liable under the
Note no matter what action Lender takes or fails to take under this Agreement.
XXXXXXX'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Grantor warrants that: (a) this
Agreement is executed at Borrower's request and not at the request of Xxxxxx;
(b) Grantor has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement
and to pledge the Collateral to Lender; (c) Grantor has established adequate
means of obtaining from Borrower on a continuing basis information about
Borrower's financial condition; and (d) Xxxxxx has made no representation to
Grantor about Borrower or Xxxxxxxx's creditworthiness.
GRANTOR'S WAIVERS. Except as prohibited by applicable law, Grantor waives any
right to require Lender to (a) make any presentment, protest, demand, or notice
of any kind, including notice of change of any terms of repayment of the
Indebtedness, default by Borrower or any other guarantor or surety, any action
or nonaction taken by Borrower, Lender, or any other guarantor or surety of
Borrower, or the creation of new or additional Indebtedness; (b) proceed against
any person, including Borrower, before proceeding against Grantor; (c) proceed
against any collateral for the Indebtedness, including Xxxxxxxx's collateral,
before proceeding against Grantor; (d) apply any payments or proceeds received
against the Indebtedness in any order; (e) give notice of the terms, time, and
place of any sale of any collateral pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or
any other law governing such sale; (f) disclose any information about the
Indebtedness, the Borrower, any collateral, or any other guarantor or surety, or
about any action or nonaction of Lender; or (g) pursue any remedy or course of
action in Xxxxxx's power whatsoever.
Grantor also waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (h) any
disability or other defense of Borrower, any other guarantor or surety of any
other person; (i) the cessation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in
full, of the Indebtedness; (j) the application of proceeds of the Indebtedness
by Borrower for purposes other than the purposes understood and intended by
Xxxxxxx and Lender; (k) any act of omission or commission by Lender which
directly or indirectly results in or contributes to the discharge of Borrower or
any other guarantor or surety, or the Indebtedness, or the loss or release of
any collateral by operation of law or otherwise; (l) any statute of limitations
in any action under this Agreement or on the Indebtedness; or (m) any
modification or change in terms of the Indebtedness, whatsoever, including
without limitation, the renewal, extension, acceleration, or other change in the
time payment of the Indebtedness is due and any change in the interest rate.
Grantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by
Xxxxxx, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure
with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Xxxxxxx's
rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower by the operation of
Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or otherwise.
This waiver includes, without limitation, any loss of rights Grantor may suffer
by reason of any rights or protections of Borrower in connection with any
anti-deficiency laws, or other laws limiting or discharging the Indebtedness or
Borrower's obligations (including without limitation, Section 726, 580a, 580b,
and 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure). Grantor waives all rights
and protections of any kind which Grantor may have for any reason, which would
affect or limit the amount of any recovery by Lender from Grantor following a
nonjudicial sale or judicial foreclosure of any real or personal property
security for the Indebtedness including, but not limited to, the right to any
fair market value hearing pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section
580a.
Xxxxxxx understands and agrees that the foregoing waivers are waivers of
substantive rights and defenses to which Grantor might otherwise be entitled
under state and federal law. The rights and defenses waived include, without
limitation, those provided by California laws of suretyship and guaranty,
anti-deficiency laws, and the Uniform Commercial Code. Grantor acknowledges that
Grantor has provided these waivers of rights and defenses with the intention
that they be fully relied upon by Xxxxxx. Until the Indebtedness is paid in
full, Grantor waives any right to enforce any remedy Lender may have against
Borrower or any other guarantor, surety, or other person, and further, Grantor
waives any right to participate in any collateral for the Indebtedness now or
hereafter held by Xxxxxx.
If now or hereafter (a) Borrower shall be or become insolvent, and (b) the
Indebtedness shall not at all times until paid by fully secured collateral
pledged by Xxxxxxxx, Grantor hereby forever waives and relinquishes in favor of
Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx, and their respective successors, any claim or right to
payment Grantor may now have or hereafter have or acquire against Borrower, by
subrogation or otherwise, so that at no time shall Grantor be or become a
"creditor" of Borrower within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. section 547(b), or any
successor provision of the Federal bankruptcy laws.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. Grantor hereby grants Xxxxxx a contractual security interest in
and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers all of Grantor's
right, title and interest in and to Grantor's accounts with Xxxxxx (whether
checking, savings, or some other account), including all accounts held jointly
with someone else and all accounts Grantor may open in the future, excluding,
however, all IRA and Xxxxx accounts, and all trust accounts for which the grant
of a security interest would be prohibited by law. Grantor authorizes Xxxxxx, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all Indebtedness
against any and all such accounts.
OBLIGATIONS OF GRANTOR. Grantor warrants and covenants to Lender as follows:
PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Xxxxxxx agrees to execute such financing
statements and to take whatever other actions are requested by Xxxxxx to
perfect and continue Xxxxxx's security interest in the Collateral. Upon
request of Xxxxxx, Grantor will deliver to Lender any and all of the
documents evidencing or constituting the Collateral, and Grantor will note
Xxxxxx's interest upon any and all chattel paper if not delivered to Lender
for possession by Xxxxxx. Grantor hereby appoints Xxxxxx as its irrevocable
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any documents necessary to
perfect or to continue the security interest granted in this Agreement.
Lender may at any time, and without further authorization from Grantor,
file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of any financing
statement or of this Agreement for use as a financing statement. Grantor
will reimburse Lender for all expenses for the perfection and the
continuation of the perfection of Xxxxxx's security interest in the
Collateral. Grantor promptly will notify Lender before any change in
Grantor's name including any change to the assumed business names of
Grantor. This is a continuing Security Agreement and will continue in
effect event though all or any part of the Indebtedness is paid in full and
even though for a period of time Borrower may not be indebted to Lender.
NO VIOLATION. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate
any law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a party.
ENFORCEABILITY OF COLLATERAL. To the extent the Collateral consists of
accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles, the Collateral is
enforceable in accordance with its terms, is genuine, and complies with
applicable laws concerning form, content and manner of preparation and
execution, an all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral have
authority and capacity to contract and are in fact obligated as they appear
to be on the Collateral. At the time any account becomes subject to a
security interest in favor of Xxxxxx, the account shall be a good and valid
account representing an undisputed, bona fide indebtedness incurred by the
account debtor, for merchandise held subject to delivery, instructions or
theretofore shipped or delivered pursuant to a contract of sale, or for
services theretofore performed by Grantor with or for the account debtor;
there shall be no setoffs or counterclaims against any such account; and no
agreement under which any deductions or discounts may be claimed shall have
been made with the account debtor except those disclosed to Lender in
writing.
LOCATION OF THE COLLATERAL. Grantor, upon request of Xxxxxx, will deliver
to Lender in form satisfactory to Lender a schedule of real properties and
Collateral locations relating to Grantor's operations, including without
limitation the following: (a) all real property owned or being purchased by
Grantor; (b) all real property being rented or leased by Grantor: (c) all
storage facilities owned, rented, leased, or being used by Grantor; and
14
06-22-2001 COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE 3
LOAN NO 2789-34 (CONTINUED)
(d) all other properties where Collateral is or may be located. Except in
the ordinary course of its business, Grantor shall not remove the
Collateral from its existing locations without the prior written consent of
Lender.
REMOVAL OF COLLATERAL. Grantor shall keep the Collateral (or to the extent
the Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts, the
records concerning the Collateral) at Grantor's address shown above, or at
such other locations as are acceptable to Lender. Except in the ordinary
course of its business, including the sales of inventory, Grantor shall not
remove the Collateral from its existing locations without the prior written
consent of Lender. To the extent that the Collateral consists of vehicles,
or other titled property, Grantor shall not take or permit any action which
would require application for certificates of title for the vehicles
outside the State of California, without the prior written consent of
Lender.
TRANSACTION INVOLVING COLLATERAL. Except for inventory sold or accounts
collected in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, Grantor shall not
sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Collateral.
While Grantor is not in default under this Agreement, Grantor may sell
inventory, but only in the ordinary course of its business and only to
buyers who qualify as a buyer in the ordinary course of business. A sale in
the ordinary course of Xxxxxxx's business does not include a transfer in
partial or total satisfaction of a debt or any bulk sale. Grantor shall not
pledge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise permit the Collateral to be subject
to any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other than the
security interest provided for in this Agreement, without the prior written
consent of Lender. This includes security interests even if junior in right
to the security interests granted under this Agreement. Unless waived by
Xxxxxx, all proceeds from any disposition of the Collateral (for whatever
reason) shall be held in trust for Lender and shall not be commingled with
any other funds; provided however, this requirement shall not constitute
consent by Lender to any sale or other disposition. Upon receipt, Grantor
shall immediately deliver any such proceeds to Lender.
TITLE. Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that it holds good and
marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances except for the lien of this Agreement. No financing statement
covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office other than
those which reflect the security interest created by this Agreement or to
which Lender has specifically consented. Grantor shall defend Xxxxxx's
rights in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other
persons.
COLLATERAL SCHEDULES AND LOCATIONS. As often as Lender shall require, and
insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts and general intangibles,
Grantor shall deliver to Lender schedules of such Collateral, including
such information as Lender may require, including without limitation names
and addresses of account debtors and agings of accounts and general
intangibles. Insofar as the Collateral consists of inventory and equipment,
Grantor shall deliver to Lender, as often as Lender shall require, such
lists, descriptions, and designations of such Collateral as Lender may
require to identify the nature, extent and location of such Collateral.
Such information shall be submitted for Grantor and each of its
subsidiaries or related companies.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF COLLATERAL. Grantor shall maintain all
tangible Collateral in good condition and repair. Grantor will not commit
or permit damage to or destruction of the Collateral or any part of the
Collateral. Lender and its designated representatives and agents shall have
the right at all reasonable times to examine, inspect, and audit the
Collateral wherever located. Grantor shall immediately notify Lender of all
cases involving the return, rejection, repossession, loss or damage of or
to any Collateral; of any request for credit or adjustment or of any other
dispute arising with respect to the Collateral; and generally of all
happenings and events affecting the Collateral or the value or the amount
of the Collateral.
TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND LIENS. Grantor will pay when due all taxes,
assessments and liens upon the Collateral, its use or operation, upon this
Agreement, upon any promissory note or notes evidencing the Indebtedness,
or upon any of the other Related Documents. Grantor may withhold any such
payment or may elect to contest any lien if Grantor is in good faith
conducting an appropriate proceeding to contest the obligation to pay and
so long as Xxxxxx's interest in the Collateral is not jeopardized in
Xxxxxx's sole opinion. If the Collateral is subjected to a lien which is
not discharged within fifteen (15) days, Grantor shall deposit with Lender
cash, a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to
Lender in an amount adequate to provide for the discharge of the lien plus
any interest, costs, attorneys' fees or other charges that could accrue as
a result of foreclosure or sale of the Collateral. In any contest Grantor
shall defend itself and Xxxxxx and shall satisfy any final adverse judgment
before enforcement against the Collateral. Grantor shall name Xxxxxx as an
additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest
proceedings.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Grantor shall comply promptly
with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental
authorities, now or hereafter in effect, applicable to the ownership,
production, disposition, or use of the Collateral. Grantor may contest in
good faith any such law, ordinance or regulation and withhold compliance
during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Xxxxxx's
interest in the Collateral, in Xxxxxx's opinion, is not jeopardized.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Grantor represents and warrants that the Collateral
never has been, and never will be so long as this Agreement remains a lien
on the Collateral, used for the generation, manufacture, storage,
transportation, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any
hazardous waste or substance as those terms are defined in the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of
1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq. ("CERCLA"), the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-499 ("XXXX"),
the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 1801, et
seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901,
et seq., Chapters 6.5 through 7.7 of Division 20 of the California Health
and Safety Code, Section 25100, et seq., or other applicable state or
Federal laws, rules, or regulations adopted pursuant to any of the
foregoing. The terms "hazardous waste" and "hazardous substance" shall also
include, without limitation, petroleum and petroleum by-products or any
fraction thereof and asbestos. The representations and warranties contained
herein are based on Grantor's due diligence in investigating the Collateral
for hazardous wastes and substances. Grantor hereby (a) releases and waives
any future claims against Xxxxxx for indemnity or contribution in the event
Grantor becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws, and
(b) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims
and losses resulting from a breach of this provision of this Agreement.
This obligation to indemnify shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness
and the satisfaction of this Agreement.
MAINTENANCE OF CASUALTY INSURANCE. Grantor shall procure and maintain all
risks insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and liability
coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may require with
respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably
acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably
acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request of Xxxxxx, will deliver to
Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form
satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be
cancelled or diminished without at least ten (10) days' prior written
notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer of the insurer's
liability for failure to give such a notice. Each insurance policy also
shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender
will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor
or any other person. In connection with all policies covering assets in
which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Grantor will provide
Lender with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may require.
If Grantor at any time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance as
required under this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to)
obtain such insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including if it so
chooses "single interest insurance," which will cover only Xxxxxx's
interest in the Collateral.
APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of
any loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof of loss if
Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. All
proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds
thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral. If Lender
consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed Collateral,
Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, pay or reimburse
Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration.
15
06-22-2001 COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE 4
LOAN NO 2789-34 (CONTINUED)
================================================================================
If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the Collateral,
Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay all of the
Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any proceeds which
have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and
which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration of the
Collateral shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness.
INSURANCE RESERVES. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender
reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be
created by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender to
be sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the premium
due date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid. If
fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are
insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender. The
reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall
constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by
payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they
become due. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor,
and Xxxxxx is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance
premiums required to be paid by Grantor. The responsibility for the
payment of premiums shall remain Grantor's sole responsibility.
INSURANCE REPORTS. Grantor, upon request of Xxxxxx, shall furnish to
Lender reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such
information as Lender may reasonably request including the following: (a)
the name of the insurer; (b) the risks insured; (c) the amount of the
policy; (d) the property insured; (e) the then current value on the basis
of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that
value; and (f) the expiration date of the policy. In addition, Grantor
shall upon request by Lender (however not more often than annually) have
an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable,
the cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.
XXXXXXX'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS. Until default and except
as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Grantor may have
possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the
Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this
Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession
and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the
Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in
such Collateral. Until otherwise notified by Xxxxxx, Grantor may collect any of
the Collateral consisting of accounts. At any time and even though no Event of
Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to
notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to
the Indebtedness. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral,
whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if
Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender,
in Xxxxxx's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but
failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a
failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any
steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties,
nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the
Indebtedness.
EXPENDITURES BY XXXXXX. If not discharged or paid when due, Lender may (but
shall not be obligated to) discharge or pay any amounts required to be
discharged or paid by Grantor under this Agreement, including without
limitation all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other
claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral. Lender also may (but
shall not be obligated to) pay all costs for insuring, maintaining and
preserving the Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for
such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from
the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All
such expenses shall become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Xxxxxx's option,
will (a) be payable on demand, (b) be added to the balance of the Note and be
apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due
during either (i) the term of any applicable insurance policy or (ii) the
remaining term of the Note, or (c) be treated as a balloon payment which will
be due and payable at the Note's maturity. This Agreement also will secure
payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights
and remedies to which Xxxxxx may be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement:
DEFAULT OF INDEBTEDNESS. Failure of Borrower to make any payment when due
on the Indebtedness.
OTHER DEFAULTS. Failure of Grantor to comply with or to perform any other
term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in
any of the Related Documents or in any other note, security agreement,
lease agreement or lease schedule, loan agreement or other agreement,
whether now existing or hereafter made, between Grantor and U.S. Bancorp or
any direct or indirect subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp.
DEFAULT IN FAVOR OF THIRD PARTIES. Should Borrower or any Grantor default
under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales

secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and
without limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights

LOAN NO 2789-34 (CONTINUED)
===============================================================================
other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made. The
requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given at
least ten (10) days, or such lesser time as required by state law, before
the time of the sale or disposition. All expenses relating to the
disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the expenses
of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the
Collateral, shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this
Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate
from date of expenditure until repaid.
APPOINT RECEIVER. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Xxxxxx shall
have the following rights and remedies regarding the appointment of a
receiver: (a) Lender may have a receiver appointed as a matter of right,
(b) the receiver may be an employee of Xxxxxx and may serve without bond,

COLLECT REVENUES, APPLY ACCOUNTS. Lender, either itself or through a
receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the
Collateral. Lender may at any time in its discretion transfer any
Collateral into its own name or that of its nominee and receive the
payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same as
security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the Indebtedness
in such order of preference as Lender may determine. Insofar as the
Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies,
instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or similar property, Lender
may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for,
foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether
or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then due. For these purposes, Xxxxxx
may, on behalf of and in the name of Grantor, receive, open and dispose of
mail addressed to Grantor; change any address to which mail and payments
are to be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents
of title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or
storage of any Collateral. To facilitate collection, Xxxxxx may notify
account debtors and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly
to Lender.
OBTAIN DEFICIENCY. If Xxxxxx chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral,
Lender may obtain a judgment against Borrower for any deficiency
remaining on the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all
amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this
Agreement. Borrower shall be liable for a deficiency even if the
transaction described in this subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel
paper.
OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies
of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code,
as may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have and
may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at
law, in equity, or otherwise.
CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. All of Xxxxxx's rights and remedies, whether
evidenced by this Agreement or the Related Documents or by any other
writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Election by Xxxxxx to pursue any remedy shall not exclude
pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to
take action to perform an obligation of Grantor or Borrower under this
Agreement, after Grantor or Borrower's failure to perform, shall not
affect Xxxxxx's right to declare a default and to exercise its remedies.

circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any
such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the
limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision
cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of
this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.

================================================================================
WAIVER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Xxxxxx. No
delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Xxxxxx
of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a
waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that
provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by
Xxxxxx, nor any course of dealing between Xxxxxx and Grantor, shall
constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's
obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender
is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender
in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent
instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may
be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
WAIVER OF CO-OBLIGOR'S RIGHTS. If more than one person is obligated for
the indebtedness, Borrower irrevocably waives, disclaims and relinquishes

otherwise have by virtue of payment of the indebtedness or any part
thereof, specifically including but not limited to all rights of indemnity,
contribution or exoneration.

Grantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies
by Xxxxxx, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial
foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed
Xxxxxxx's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower by the
operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or
otherwise.
This waiver includes, without limitation, any loss of rights Grantor may suffer
by reason of any rights or protection of Borrower in connection with any

nonjudicial sale or judicial foreclosure of any real or personal property
security for the Indebtedness including, but not limited to, the right to any
fair market value hearing pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 580a.
Xxxxxxx understands and agrees that the foregoing waivers are waivers of
substantive rights and defenses to which Grantor might otherwise be entitled
under state and federal law. The rights and defenses waived include, without
limitation, those provided by California laws of suretyship and guaranty,
anti-deficiency laws, and the Uniform Commercial Code. Grantor acknowledges
that Grantor has provided these waivers of rights and defenses with the
intention that they be fully relied upon by Xxxxxx. Until all Indebtedness is
paid in full, Grantor waives any right to enforce any remedy Lender may have
against Borrower or any other guarantor, surety, or other person, and further,
Grantor waives any right to participate in any collateral for the Indebtedness
now or hereafter held by Xxxxxx.
If now or hereafter (a) Borrower shall be or become insolvent, and (b) the
Indebtedness shall not at all times until paid be fully secured by collateral
pledged by Xxxxxxxx, Grantor hereby forever waives and relinquishes in favor of
Xxxxxx and Borrower, and their respective successors, any claim or right to
payment Grantor may now have or hereafter have or acquire against Borrower, by
subrogation or otherwise, so that at no time shall Grantor be or become a
"creditor" of Borrower within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. section 547(b), or any
successor provision of the Federal bankruptcy laws.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. Grantor hereby grants Lender a contractual security interest in
any hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers all of Grantor's
right, title and interest in and to Grantor's accounts with Xxxxxx (whether
checking, savings, or some other account), including all accounts held jointly
with someone else and all accounts Grantor may open in the future, excluding,
however, all IRA and Xxxxxx accounts, and all trust accounts for which the grant
of a security interest would be prohibited by law. Grantor authorizes Xxxxxx, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all Indebtedness
against any and all such accounts.
XXXXXXX'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL.
Grantor represents and warrants to Lender that:

agreements contained in the Collateral which are to be performed by

violate any law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is a

the Collateral. When applicable law provides more than one method of
perfection of Xxxxxx's security interest, Xxxxxx may choose the method(s)
to be used. Upon request of Xxxxxx, Grantor will sign and deliver any
writings necessary to perfect Xxxxxx's security interest. Grantor hereby
appoints Xxxxxx as Xxxxxxx's irrevocable attorney-in-fact for the purpose
of executing any documents necessary to perfect or to continue the security
interest granted in this Agreement. This is a continuing Security Agreement
and will continue in effect even though all or any part of the Indebtedness
is paid in full and even though for a period of time Borrower may not be
indebted to Lender.
EXPENDITURES BY XXXXXX. If not discharged or paid when due, Lender may (but
shall not be obligated to) discharge or pay any amounts required to be
discharged or paid by Grantor under this Agreement, including without
limitation all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other
claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral. Lender also may (but
shall not be obligated to) pay all costs for insuring, maintaining and
preserving the Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for
such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from
the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All
such expenses shall become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Xxxxxx's option,
will (a) be payable on demand, (b) be added to the balance of the Note and be
apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due
during either (i) the term of any applicable insurance policy or (ii) the
remaining term of the Note, or (c) be treated as a balloon payment which will
be due and payable at the Note's maturity. This Agreement also will secure
payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights
and remedies to which Xxxxxx may be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default.
LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF LENDER. Lender shall use ordinary reasonable care
in the physical preservation and custody of the Collateral in Xxxxxx's
possession, but shall have no other obligation to protect the Collateral or its
value. In particular, but without limitation. Lender shall have no
responsibility for (a) any depreciation in value of the Collateral or for the
collection or protection of any Income and Proceeds from the Collateral, (b)
preservation of rights against parties to the Collateral or against third
persons, (c) ascertaining any maturities, calls, conversions, exchange, offers,
tenders, or similar matters relating to any of the Collateral, or (d) informing
Grantor about any of the above, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters. Except as provided above, Lender shall have no
liability for depreciation or deterioration of the Collateral.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement:
DEFAULT ON INDEBTEDNESS. Failure of Borrower to make any payment when due
on the Indebtedness.
OTHER DEFAULTS. Failure of Borrower or Grantor to comply with or to perform
any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this
Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or failure of Borrower to
comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition
contained in any other agreements between Lender and Borrower.
INSOLVENCY. The dissolution or termination of Borrower or Grantor's
existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower or Grantor, the
appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower or Grantor's property,
any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout,
or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency
laws by or against Borrower or Grantor.
CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or Grantor or
by any governmental agency against the Collateral or any other collateral
securing the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower
or Grantor's deposit accounts with Lender.
EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect
to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or such Guarantor dies or
becomes incompetent.
INSECURITY. Lender, in good faith, deems itself insecure.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this
Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the
following rights and remedies:
ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Declare all Indebtedness, including any prepayment
penalty which Borrower would be required to pay, immediately due and
payable, without notice of any kind to Borrower or Grantor.
COLLECT THE COLLATERAL. Collect any of the Collateral and, at Xxxxxx's
option and to the extent permitted by applicable law, retain possession of
the Collateral while suing on the Indebtedness.
SELL THE COLLATERAL. Sell the Collateral, at Xxxxxx's discretion, as a unit
or in parcels, at one or more public or private sales. Unless the
Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of
a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall give or mail
to Grantor, or any of them, notice at least ten (10) days in advance of the
time and place of any public sale, or of the date after which any private
sale may be
21

================================================================================
made. Grantor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice is satisfied
if Lender mails notice by ordinary mail addressed to Grantor, or any of
them, at the last address Grantor has given Lender in writing. If a public
sale is held, there shall be sufficient compliance with all requirements of
notice to the public by a single publication in any newspaper of general
circulation in the county where the Collateral is located, setting forth
the time and place of sale and a brief description of the property to be
sold. Lender may be a purchaser at any public sale.
REGISTER SECURITIES. Register any securities included in the Collateral in
Lender's name and exercise any rights normally incident to the ownership of
securities.
SELF SECURITIES. Sell any securities included in the Collateral in a manner
consistent with applicable federal and state securities laws,
notwithstanding any other provision of this or any other agreement. If,
because of restrictions under such laws, Lender is or believes it is unable
to sell the securities in an open market transaction, Grantor agrees that
Lender shall have no obligation to delay sale until the securities can be
registered, and may make a private sale to one or more persons or to a
restricted group of persons, even though such sale may result in a price
that is less favorable than might be obtained in an open market
transaction, and such a sale shall be considered commercially reasonable.
If any securities held as Collateral are "restricted securities" as defined
in the Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (such as Regulation
D or Rule 144) or state securities departments under state "Blue Sky" laws,
or if Borrower or Grantor is an affiliate of the issuer of the securities,
Borrower and Grantor agree that neither Grantor nor any agent of Grantor
will sell or dispose of any securities of such issuer without obtaining
Xxxxxx's prior written consent.
FORECLOSURE. Maintain a judicial suit for foreclosure and sale of the
Collateral.
TRANSFER TITLE. Effect transfer of title upon sale of all or part of the
Collateral. For this purpose, Xxxxxxx irrevocably appoints Lender as its
attorney-in-fact to execute endorsements, assignments and instruments in
the name of Grantor and each of them (if more than one) as shall be
necessary or reasonable.
OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Have and exercise any or all of the rights and
remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform
Commercial Code, at law, in equity, or otherwise.
APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Apply any cash which is part of the Collateral, or
which is received from the collection or sale of the Collateral, to
reimbursement of any expenses, including any costs for registration of
securities, commissions incurred in connection with a sale, attorney fees
as provided below, and court costs, whether or not there is a lawsuit and
including any fees on appeal, incurred by Lender in connection with the
collection and sale of such Collateral and to the payment of the
Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, with any excess funds to be paid to
Grantor as the interests of Grantor may appear. Xxxxxxxx agrees, to the
extent permitted by law, to pay any deficiency after application of the
proceeds of the Collateral to the Indebtedness.
CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. All of Xxxxxx's rights and remedies, whether evidenced
by this Agreement or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Xxxxxx to pursue any
remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to
make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor
under this Agreement, after Xxxxxxx's failure to perform, shall not affect
Xxxxxx's right to declare a default and to exercise its remedies.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of
this Agreement:
AMENDMENTS. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents,
constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the
matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this
Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the
party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or
amendment.
APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement has been delivered to Lender and accepted by
Lender in the State of California. If there is a lawsuit, Xxxxxxxx and
Xxxxxxx agree upon Xxxxxx's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the
courts of Sacramento County, the State of California. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx and
Grantor hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding,
or counterclaim brought by either Xxxxxx, Borrower or Grantor against the
other. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California.
ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx agree to pay upon demand
all of Xxxxxx's costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and Xxxxxx's
legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this
Agreement. Lender may pay someone else to help enforce this Agreement, and
Borrower and Grantor shall pay the costs and expenses of such enforcement.
Costs and expenses include Xxxxxx's attorneys' fees and legal expenses
whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees and legal
expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (and including efforts to modify or
vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated
post-judgment collection services. Borrower and Grantor also shall pay all
court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the court.
CAPTION HEADINGS. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience
purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions
of this Agreement.
NOTICES. All notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be
given in writing, may be sent by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required
by law), and shall be effective when actually delivered or when deposited
with a nationally recognized overnight courier or deposited in the United
States mail, first class, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom
the notice is to be given at the address shown above. Any party may change
its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written
notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is
to change the party's address. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
if there is more than one Borrower or Grantor, notice to any Borrower or
Grantor will constitute notice to all Borrower and Grantors. For notice
purposes, Xxxxxxxx and Grantor will keep Lender informed at all times of
Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx's current address(es).
SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any
such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the
limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision
cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of
this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
SUCCESSOR INTERESTS. Subject to the limitations set forth above on transfer
of the Collateral, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.
WAIVER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Xxxxxx. No
delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Xxxxxx of
a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of
Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or
any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Xxxxxx, nor any
course of dealing between Xxxxxx and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of
any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's obligations as to any future
transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this
Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not
constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is
required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the
sole discretion of Lender.
