01-10-2012 - Disposition & Development Agreement with CGM Development, Inc.City of West Covina
Memorandum
AGENDA
ITEM NO. 3
DATE: January 10, 2012
TO: Andrew G. Pasmant, City Manager and the City Council
FROM: Christopher J. Chung
Community Development Commission Director
SUBJECT:. DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH CGM
DEVELOPMENT, INC.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Disposition and Development Agreement
("DDA") with CGM Development, Inc. ("CGM") and authorize the City Manager, or his
designee, to execute all agreements necessary to implement the professional/medical
office development project.
DISCUSSION:
This item was continued from the December 20, 2011 City Council meeting.
CGM is proposing a four-story, 55,680 square foot professional/medical office development at
the Civic Center property. The office building would be located on an approximately 28,192
square foot pad at the corner of West Covina Parkway and Garvey Avenue. The site is currently
zoned "P-B" (Public Building) and under the proposed "N-C" (Neighborhood Commercial)
zoning, a variety of professional services, medical and retail uses would be permitted. The'
proposed building will be comprised of 39-condominium units allowing for private ownership of
the individual units. CGM is pursuing the professional/medical office condominium project as
they believe there is a strong market demand from small business professionals wishing to own
their own property instead of leasing, and because CGM has demonstrated its ability to
successfully develop similar condominium project in West Covina (i.e., Nogales Medical Plaza,
a Class -A building).
The professional/medical office development will be supported by a new 218-space parking lot
("Office Parking Lot"), which will be constructed by CGM. The City will retain ownership of
the land and will grant CGM a parking easement. CGM will be responsible for the full cost to
construct and maintain the Office Parking Lot, and will install a paid parking system similar to
the system already install at the Civic Center. The revenue collected from the paid parking
system will be collected by the City. Tenants of the building will be issued a parking pass, and
visitors may be provided free parking by the use of a validation system or temporary parking
passes. It is important to note that this parking arrangement may be amended or adjusted to
improve parking for the tenants, visitors and City.
Although the Office Parking Lot would be dedicated for the office development, library patrons
would also be able to utilize the lot after business hours and weekends free of charge. The three
handicap parking spaces adjacent to the library building will be available to the library patrons at
no fee.
The project will be a high -quality professional/medical office development. However, in the
process of marketing the site several medical users indicated a desire to purchase the units. This
resulted in an issue of how to limit which units could and could not be used for medical use,
because medical use has a higher parking requirement under the City's Zoning Code. In order to
allow the flexibility of tenant mix and also to study the "worst -case" scenario, a parking study
was perforined analyzing the project as a 100% medical use. In doing so, this accidentally
created an incorrect project description that the entire project was dedicated to 100% medical use
and further created a perceived parking shortage by Code. The parking demand study found
that a 100% medical use of the building would generate a parking demand of 177-spaces during
peak hour, which is less than the 218-spaces proposed to be constructed. In addition, the Civic

Center has ample over -flow parking, if necessary. The City conducted a parking survey of the
Civic Center's 625-parking spaces (surface and parking structure). The survey concluded that at
peak hour, 79% of the Civic Center parking was utilized resulting in 137-parking excess spaces
available for over -flow parking, if necessary.
One of the primary reasons that the land for the Office Parking Lot is not being sold to CGM is
to allow flexibility for the City to develop the site in the future, if so desired. The parking
easement provides for a condition that the City may terminate the parking easement and take
possession of the Office Parking Lot land by replacing the office parking spaces in the future
development. Such a condition ensures that if in the future the City envisions redeveloping or
upgrading the Civic Center, the City maintains control of a significant amount of the Civic
Center property.
Librqa Parking
The proposed project is located in an area where the County of Los Angeles currently leases 100-
parking spaces (Lot "A") from the City (see Attachment No. 1 — Site Plan). The parking lease
agreement with the County is set to expire in 2023 and poses a future parking loss for the County
library, should the City not renew the lease. As a remedy to resolve a potential future problem
now, CGM has proposed to consolidate all County library parking onto a County -owned parking
lot which currently has 42-parking spaces (referred to as Lot "D") located between the County
Health Services and the library. CGM will build a new 129-space parking lot on County land at
no cost to the City or the County. The City believes that the County is supportive of
consolidating the library parking lot as it secures library parking now and for the future. The
proposed parking lot will also include the County requested parking gate and validation system
to deter non -library patrons from parking in the lot.
The parking study conducted verifies that non -library patrons (i.e. park and ride, other County
departments and visitors to the courthouse) are currently impacting library parking areas. The
library's hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and
Saturday between 8:00 to 6:00 p.m. The library has approximately 29 full- and part-time
employees and 15 employees working together at any given time. The library's regional office
located in the library building employees 11 persons and the bookmobile operation employ
additional 4 people, for a total of 30 people at any given time. The parking survey revealed that
as early as 7:00 a.m., when the library was closed and no library employees or visitors would be
present, 30 parking spaces were occupied. More parking spaces filled up each half hour and at
9:30 a.m., approximately 73-spaces were occupied. Assuming that library employees utilized
307parking spaces, 43 .of the 73-parking spaces were most likely used by non -library users. At
peak hour of 11:00 a.m., 131-parking spaces were utilized, of which approximately 43 to 62-
spaces were most likely utilized by non -library patrons.
The County is of the opinion that by installing gates and parking validation system, the library
will be able to provide better parking amenities for library patrons and discourage non -patrons
from parking in the lot. As such, 129-parking spaces would be sufficient for library employees
and patrons by deterring parking by non -library patrons.
The County has agreed to concept of consolidating all library parking into the new 129-parking
space lot, and construction drawings are being finalized which are subject to approval by all
County departments. The County has also selected the parking validation system to be installed
by Developer. In addition, negotiations on the County agreements to approve the project have
been completed and are being presented for the City Council consideration.
Trees
As part of CGM's proposed project, CGM originally attempted to save as many trees as possible
but learned that the site is comprised of undocumented fill that would not support the load of the
structural improvements. CGM must excavate all undocumented fill to bedrock and recompact
the entire site. Unfortunately, this requires a majority of trees to be removed. Although the trees
civ090bk

January 10, 2012
Page 3 of 8
are not protected or required to be replaced by City's Municipal Code, the development will
result in the installation of a greater number of trees than are being removed by the proposed
project. According to the Developer, the project will remove a total of 114 trees on the City land
and 19 trees on the County property (133 total trees). Of the 114 trees, 58 are large trees of 20
inches to 36 inches in trunk diameter, 34 trees are medium size of 7 inch to 18 inch in trunk
diameter, and 22 are small trees and shrubs. The project will install 150 trees on -site (office
development area and County Lot D parking area) and additional 50 trees will be installed at
City parks or other public locations as desired by the City, for a total of 200 new trees. Thirty of
the 150 trees to be installed on -site will be 36-inch box size and will be planted adjacent to the
new professional/medical office building. CGM's Landscape Architect indicates that the trees
being removed are mature and could create significant issues in the future, including disease,
infestation and fallen trees and limbs. The overcrowded landscape creates trees with significant
loss of natural canopies and significant debris. Many trees exhibit uneven and poor shape and
form, a shallow root systems and an unfavorable tree tilt in several trees could cause such trees to
topple.
It is also important to note that even if the proposed project does not move forward, the City may
lose several trees along West Garvey Avenue due to the Caltrans HOV expansion project.
Caltrans will be installing a five-foot side sidewalk and retaining wall along West Garvey
Avenue from West Covina Parkway to Crazy Horse restaurant. As the landscape berm is
undocumented fill, Caltrans may have to over -excavate and recompact the soil removing trees
and landscaping in the process.
The current zoning for the area is "P-B" (Public -Building), which is the same zoning as the Civic
Center and the City yard, and is not designated open space or park. As a result, the landscaping
within the area is not designated for park or open space, and is considered to be landscaped area
for P-B zoning designation.
Disposition and Development Agreement Salient Terms
The DDA will provide for the authorization of the sale and development of the project in
conjunction with the agreements with the County of Los Angeles ("County"). The following is a
summary of the project deal points:
1. Proposed Development: CGM is proposing to develop a 4-story, approximately 55,680
square foot professional/medical office that will also allow professional offices, medical,
commercial retail and restaurants. Parking for the project will be supported by 218-
spaces parking lot on 89,644 square foot of land. In order to construct the new office
parking lot, the existing 100-space City -owned parking lot (Lot A) leased to the County
library will be redesigned to support the project. CGM will also reconstruct the south
County -owned parking lot (Lot D) to increase library parking spaces from 42-parking
stalls to 129-parking stalls with a parking validation system at no cost to the County or
the City. The construction of the new Lot D library parking .lot will be completed before
the existing Lot A parking lot is decommissioned to ensure minimal operational
disturbance to the library.
2. Site: The proposed development is located on the southeast corner of West Covina
Parkway and Garvey Avenue of the Civic Center. The building pad will be on
approximately 28,192 square feet of undeveloped land for the development of a
professional/medical office development that will also allow professional offices,
medical, commercial retail and restaurants, and 89,644 square foot of land for the 218-
space parking area. The City would maintain ownership of the City -owned parking area
and would have the right or ability to develop it in the future, if desired.
3. Purchase Price: CGM will purchase the 28,192 square foot building pad and have the
right to park on the City -owned parking area. The purchase price is $700,000 (which is
higher than the appraised fair market value) and includes full consideration for the value
of the right to park on the City -owned parking area. Two separate appraisals have been
civ090bk

Page 4 of 8
prepared by two different MAI appraisers. Jay C. Fisher, MAI was retained by CGM and
appraised the value of the office pad and right to park at $550,000. The City's appraiser,
Lidgard and Associates, appraised the office pad and right to park at $660,000.
The City will carry a note for 80% of the Purchase Price for 180-days after the close of
escrow at a fair market interest rate of 7% per annum. As a result, $140,000 would be
received at the close of escrow and $579,600 (including principle and interest) would
become due after 180-days (or $719,600 total).
4. Escrow Period: Escrow will be opened within 15-days from approval of the DDA. The
developer will deposit $50,000 an as good faith deposit. The term of the escrow period is
6-months or sooner. The City and the developer would each pay one-half (or equal
share) of the escrow, recording, and notary fees. The City would provide the standard
CLTA title insurance policy, and the developer may obtain extended ALTA coverage at
its cost.
5. Local Jobs: Prior to commencement of construction, the developer and its contractor
will make reasonable efforts to first hire West Covina residents. The Developer and its
contractor may work with local employment development department (e.g., EDD) or hold
on -site job fairs. The project would also result in approximately 180 new permanent jobs
and 114 construction jobs.
6. Construction Start and Completion: The construction commencement date is within
180-days from the effective date of the DDA and issuance of permits from the County
and the City. The new library parking Lot D will be completed before the existing Lot A
parking lot is decommissioned. The completion term is 24-months from the construction
commencement date.
7. County Agreements: The County is in agreement with the new library parking lot
design, and two (2) separate agreements are being finalized to allow for removal of the
100-space parking lot from the County's lease and the ability to construct the new 129-
space parking lot on the County property. The Developer will sublet the County Ground
Lease Agreement to facilitate the improvements and will further provide all necessary
insurance and indemnity for City and County.
Project Benefits
The proposed project would result in various benefits to the City, County and the library in many
ways, including but not limited to the following:
1. The project will provide a high -quality professional/medical office development with
landscaping and water fountain features, and will become the gateway into the Civic
Center. An entry monument signage would be constructed at the intersection of Garvey
Avenue and West Covina Parkway to predominately identify the Civic Center facilities.
2. The development does not impact the Civic Center's grass area between City Hall and the
library where City functions are held (i.e. Easter Egg Hunt).
3. The development would create approximately 180-permanent jobs and 114-construction
jobs.
4. It was estimated that the development would generate approximately $183,000 in new
annual property tax to the agency/city. This estimate however, was provided prior to the
recent supreme court ruling against cities and redevelopment agencies, which occurred on
December 29, 2011. As such, assuming that the court ruling stands which abolish
redevelopment agencies effective in February 1, 2012, the net property tax revenue to the
City will be approximately $23,790 per year. . .

5. The development will generate approximately $140,000 in City permitting and
entitlement fees, including planning, building, engineering, and fire.
6. The project will create added synergy within the Civic Center by infusing and increasing
the City's professional work force and attracting more visitors into the City. The added
draw of people working, shopping and dining would further result in economic spin-off
benefits and revenues to the surrounding area.
7. The project would provide professional/medical services to the community and would
also promote West Covina as a business -friendly City.
8. City would receive land sale proceed of $700,000, plus interest for carrying a note of
80% of the purchase price for 180-days at an annum interest rate of 7%.
9. The project would result in West Covina businesses serving West Covina residents.
10. CGM will construct a new 129-space library parking lot on the County's property at no
cost to the County or the City. This will. benefit the County and the library in the
following ways:
a. The current 100-space library parking is leased to the County from the City and
will expire in 2023. The new County 129-space parking lot would alleviate the
future parking shortage and the potential impact to the library operation when the
100-space parking lot reverts back to the City.
b. At the request of the County library, a gate and parking validation system will be
installed in the new 129-space County parking lot. This will allow for the library
to have better control of the parking lot usage for its patrons and will be a
deterrent for non-libraiy users such as parkand ride, other County facilities and
Municipal Court parking.
C. The County has approved the concept of consolidating library parking to a new
129-space parking lot on County land and has approved the initial design of the
new County library parking lot. The parking lot is subject to the County's final
approval and the construction drawings are currently in the County's plancheck
process. The County believes that the parking validation system will discourage
non -library users, resulting in adequate parking for library patrons.
d. The office development will also allow the three handicap parking spaces
adjacent to the library to be available for library patrons and the entire office
parking lot will be available to library patrons after business hours and during
weekends.
11. The 218-space Office Parking Lot would also be available to library patrons during non -
business hours and weekends at no charge. This parking lot will be owned by the City
and easement granted to the office development project. As such, the City will maintain
certain rights to the land, including the ability to develop the land for a larger Civic
Center project in the future, subject to constructing replacement parking for the office
development.
12. The project will replace more trees than it is removing (200 trees replaced to 133 trees
lost). 150 trees will be replaced on -site (office development area and County Lot D
parking area) of which 30 trees will be a 36-inch box trees and will be planted adjacent to
the professional/medical office development. Additional 50 trees will be installed at City
parks or other public locations as desired by the City, for a total of 200 new trees.
13. The proposed project has a higher landscaping coverage (15.34%) than required by Code
(8%) and the project will become a prominent gateway into the Civic Center.

14. The proposed is consistent with the established goals and objectives of the City of West
Covina General Plan as follows:
The General Plan states that the City's vision of establishing West Covina as "the
Headquarters City of the East San Gabriel Valley" dates back over 25 years
(1986) when the Civic Center property was identified as part of the City's Central
Business District Core boundary in the City's General Plan. In order to achieve
this goal, the General Plan, adopted goals and objectives and implementation
measures within the Economic Development Element of the General Plan to,
"actively encourage appropriate development of vacant land within core areas"
and that the "Redevelopment Agency shall actively market sites currently owned
by the City or the Agency."
b. In the General Plan's Land Use Element, it states that the City should provide for
a range of non-residential uses that will ensure a strong economic base for the
City. The Land Use Element designated two major commercial cores for intense
regional commercial activity. One core is the Central Business District in which
the General Plan states that has opportunities for development that are almost
unlimited and the Civic Center and proposed project is located within that Central
Business District Core. The General Plan identified the Civic Center to be an area
for intense regional commercial activity and further stated that rezoning land use
may be necessary to achieve such goals. As such, the proposed
professional/medical office development at the Civic Center is consistent with the
Land Use Element and the General Plan.
In the General Plan's Economic Development Element, it states that sound local
economy is essential to the City's future vitality. It provides jobs for the labor
force, increase disposable incomes of residents, and assures the City the revenues,
which finance its wide range of responsibilities. The Economic Development
Element stated goals and 'objectives as follows:
• In the 1986 General Plan, the City recognized that the City can no longer rely
upon new construction on vacant land and a growing population to generate
funds to provide the high level of public services familiar to West Covina
residents. As a result, the Economic Development Element states that through
effective economic development, West Covina must secure additional sources
of revenue to maintain its standard for quality of life.
Develop and expand the local economy in order to create new employment
opportunities, attract new investment and strengthen the tax base of the City.
• It is the economic goal of West Covina to attract employment opportunities
into West Covina to create a larger daytime population for the City.
Implementation of the Economic Development Elements Goals and Objectives
are:
The City shall actively encourage appropriate development of vacant land
within core areas (Central Business District Core that project falls within).
• The Redevelopment Agency shall actively market the sites currently owned
by the City or the Agency.
• The,'City shall identify and assemble development sites to accommodate major
corporate and industrial users.

As such, the City's General Plan recognized the need to diversify land use and
employment base in which the proposed project would achieve.
15. The CDC has been .pursuing a redevelopment project at the Civic Center for the past 17
years and the proposed development is consistent with the Goals and Objectives of the
West Covina's Redevelopment Plan and CDC's Implementation Plans as follows:
a. The 1994 Redevelopment Plan called for the development of the Cameron
Avenue/Civic Center area as an "office and business district. "
b. The Redevelopment Plan that was amended in 1996, further clarified the goals of
the West Covina Redevelopment Project Area to "Encourage expansion of local
commercial and industrial opportunities which will create jobs and an expanded
sales and property tax base" and to "Introduce comprehensive planning, redesign,
replanning, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of uses to facilitate a higher and
better utilization of land. The reference of "higher and better utilization of land"
means to develop high-rise office towers consistent with the City's General Plan
goals of attracting corporations and being the "Headquarters City of the East San
Gabriel Valley. "
C. The Civic Center site has been specifically identified as a potential redevelopment
site in the 2005-2009 and 2010-2014 Redevelopment Implementation Plans,
which states that "[T]he City owned 7.8-acre site, with excellent freeway access
and visibility, is located at the southeast corner of West Covina Parkway and
Garvey Avenue South. Possible developments could include a hotel, offices,
commercial retail and/or restaurants. "
Summary
In summary, the City has been pursuing a project following the Goals and Objectives of the
City's General Plan, the West Covina Redevelopment Plan and the Community Development
Commission's 5-Year Inplernentation Plan. The goals and objectives of the plans date back to
over 25 years (1986). In considering all the goals and objectives, it is believed that the vision of
the City is to attract the "corporate" and "headquarters" which can only be done by intensifying
land use within the Central Business District core and developing high rise office buildings.
The City has already embarked on developing high-rise developments and a 4-story
professional/medical office development would be consistent with the efforts and visions already
bestowed by the forefathers of West Covina. It is not an easy process to create a General Plan
and develop the overall goals and objectives of where the City is to be in the future. It takes
numerous community meetings and significant community input to set the vision of the City. As
such, City has been following the goals and objectives currently set for the City's General Plan.
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, Redevelopment Plan and
Implementation Plan.
The proposed project will also have long-term benefits to the County, County library and library
patrons. The City parking lease to the County is set expire in 2023 and should the City not
renew the lease, the library will stand to lose.100-parking spaces. The County would need to
resolve the loss of parking at that time and City would have the right to utilize the 100-parking
space area (Lot A) as desired. In addition, the County would need to resolve the current parking
impacts of non -library users (i.e. park and ride, other County departments and utilizing library
parking). CGM is proposing to resolve the County's future parking problem now by
constructing a new 129-space parking lot on County owned land with a gate and parking
validation system at no cost to the City or County.
The proposed project will not only generate land sale proceeds of $700,000 (plus interest as
stated above), it will also create new diverse employment opportunities and result in West
Covina businesses serving and employing West Covina residents.

ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council has the following alternatives:
1. Approve the Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA") with CGM
Development, Inc. and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute all
agreements necessary to implement the professional/medical office development project;
2. Deny the DDA;
3. Direct Staff to renegotiate the DDA under different terms and conditions; or
4. Provide staff with an alternative direction.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will realize $700,000 (plus interest) in land sale and parking easement proceeds. The
City will also receive new property tax revenue of approximately $183,000 (annual), and any
incremental sales tax generated by the project. The property tax estimate however, was provided
prior to the recent supreme court ruling against cities and redevelopment agencies, which
occurred on December 29, 2011. As such, assuming that the court ruling stands which abolish
redevelopment agencies effective on February 1, 2012, the net property tax revenue to the City
will be approximately $23,790 annual. In addition, 180 new employment opportunities with
increased trips to city will result in spin-off revenues to the City. The development will generate
approximately $140,000 in City permitting and entitlement fees, including planning, building,
engineering, and fire.

hereinafter assigned to Beneficiary. Five (5) years after issuance of such full reconveyance,
Trustee may destroy the Note and this Deed of Trust (unless directed in such request to retain
them).
13. That as additional security, Borrower irrevocably assigns to City the rents, issues,
and profits of the Property affected by this Deed of Trust for the purposes and upon the terns

CGM DDA Final Sen.DOC
under any lease; or (c) responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, for

negligence in the management, upkeep, repair, or control of such property. This is an absolute
assignment, not an assignment for security only, and Beneficiary's right to rents, issues and
profits is not contingent :upon, and may be exercised without possession of, the property affected
by this Deed of Trust.
To the extent permitted by the Promissory Note; City confers upon Borrower a license
("License") to collect and retain the issues and profits of the property affected by this Deed of
Trust as they become due and payable, until the occurrence of a default hereunder. Upon such
default, the License shall be automatically revoked and City may collect and retain the issues and
profits without notice and without taking possession of the property affected by this Deed of
Trust. This right to collect issues and profits shall not grant to City or Trustee the right to
possession except as otherwise provided herein; and neither the right, nor termination of the
License, shall impose upon City oi- Trustee the duty to produce issues or profits or maintain all or
any part of the property affected by this Deed of Trust, if Borrower shall default, Borrower's
right to collect any such money shall cease and Beneficiary shall have the right, with or without
taking possession of the property affected hereby, to collect all issues, royalties and profits and

has been delivered to Trustee and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the
indebtedness secured hereby, either personally or by attorney or agent . without bringing any
action or proceeding, or by receiver to be appointed by the Court, enter into possession and hold,
occupy, possess and enjoy the property, and to sue, and to take, receive and collect all or any part
of the issues and profits of the property affected hereby, and after paying such costs of
maintenance, operation of the property,, and 'of collections including reasonable attorneys, fees,
as in its judgment it may deem proper, to apply the balance upon any indebtedness then secured'
hereby, the issues, royalties and profits of the property being hereby assigned to Beneficiary.
The acceptance of such rents, issues, royalties and profits shall not constitute a waiver of any
other right which Trustee or Beneficiary may enjoy under this Deed of Trust or under the laws of
California. Failure of or discontinuance by Beneficiary at any time, or from time to time, to
collect any such issues, royalties . or profits shall not in any manner affect the subsequent
enforcement by Beneficiary of the right, power and authority to collect the same. The receipt
and application by Beneficiary of all such issues, royalties and profits pursuant hereto, and after
execution and delivery of declaration of default and demand for sale as hereinafter provided, or
during the pendency of Trustee's sale proceedings hereunder, shall not cure such breach or
default nor affect the sale proceedings, or any sale made pursuant thereto, but such rents, issues,
royalties and profits, less all costs of operation, maintenance, collection and reasonable attorneys
fees, when received by Beneficiary, shall be applied in reduction of the indebtedness secured
hereby, from time to time, in such order as Beneficiary may determine. Nothing contained
herein, nor the exercise of the right by Beneficiary to collect, shall be, or be construed to be, an
affirmation by Beneficiary of any tenancy, lease or option, nor an assumption of liability under,
nor a subordination ofthe lien or charge of this Deed of Trust to, any such tenancy, lease or
option.

cause to. be sold the property, which notice Trustee shall cause to be filed for record. Beneficiary

postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement.
Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its Deed conveying the property so sold, but without any
covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recital in such Deed of any matters of fact shall
be conclusive evidence of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Borrower, Trustee, or
Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at such sale. Trustee may also sell at any such
sale and as part thereof any shares of corporate stock securing the obligations secured hereby,
and Borrower waives demand and notice of such sale. (Beneficiary at its option may also
foreclose on such shares by independent pledge sale, and Borrower waives demand and notice of
such sale.) After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee, and of this Trust, including
cost of evidence of title in connection with this sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to
payment, first, of all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued
interest at the rate then payable under the Note or Notes secured hereby, and then of all other
sums secured hereby, and, if there are any proceeds remaining, shall distribute them to the person
or persons legally entitled thereto.

Trustee predecessor, succeed to all its title, estate, rights, powers and duties, including by not
limited to the power to reconvey the whole or any part of the property covered by this Deed of

hereunder, and the book and page where this Deed of Trust is recorded. If notice of default shall
have been recorded, this power of substitution cannot be exercised until after the costs, fees and
expenses of the then. acting Trustee shall have been paid to such Trustee, who shall endorse
CGM DDA Final Sen.DOC
receipt thereof upon such instrument. The procedures herein provided for substitution of Trustee
shall not be exclusive of other provisions for Substitution provided by law.

hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors and assigns. The
term "Beneficiary" shall mean the owner and holder, including pledgee, of the Note secured
hereby, whether or not named as Beneficiary herein. In this Deed of Trust, whenever the context
so requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number
includes the plural.

statement regarding the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust pursuant to Sections 2943 and
2954 of the Civil Code of California (or successor statutes), Beneficiary shall be entitled to make
a reasonable charge, not exceeding the maximum amount which is permitted by law at the time

existing policy of fire insurance or other casualty insurance held by Beneficiary and replacing the
same with another such policy.

acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law. Trustee is not obligated to
notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other Deed of Trust or of any action or
proceeding in which Borrower, Beneficiary or Trustee shall be a party unless brought by
Trustee.
20. That Borrower has made certain representations and disclosures in order to induce
Beneficiary to make the loan evidenced by the Promissory Note or Notes which this Deed of
Trust secures and in the event that Borrower has made any material misrepresentation or failed to
disclose any material fact, Beneficiary at its option and without notice, shall have the right to
declare the indebtedness secured hereby, irrespective of the maturity date specified in such Note
or Notes, immediately due and payable, and on failure to so pay Beneficiary may make a written
declaration of default and demand for sale as in paragraph No. 14, herein set forth. Trustee,
upon presentation to it of an affidavit signed by Beneficiary setting forth facts showing a default
by Borrower under this paragraph, is authorized to accept as true and conclusive all facts and
statements therein, and to act thereon hereunder.
