RECITALS A. In connection with that certain redevelopment pro- ject commonly referred to as "The Desert Fashion Plaza" , TRANSAMERICA has issued a Preliminary Report under its title order no. 192302 , dated January 30 , 1984 . Item no. 34 of that Report refers to that certain deed of trust recorded January 13 , 1984 , as Instrument No. 7276 , in the Official Records of the County of Riverside, whereunder the t-rustor is the AGENCY, the trustee is First American Title Insurance Company, and the beneficiaries are Earle C. Strebe and Geska Raye White, Trustees under Declaration of Trust dated July 18 , 1969 . Said deed of trust secures a principal indebted- ness in the sum of two million dollars ( $2 , 000 , 000 . 00 ) . B. It has been the intent of the AGENCY to cause the indebtedness secured by the aforementioned deed of trust to be paid in full as part of the transfer of title to the pre- mises encumbered by that deed of trust to the "Participant" defined in that certain "Participation Agreement" between the AGENCY and North Plaza Associates and South Plaza Associ- ates , as modified, dated the 8th day of November, 1983 , and to cause a deed of full reconveyance regarding the said deed of trust to be duly placed of record. However, the AGENCY has been informed by the beneficiaries under the subject deed of trust that it is the position of those parties that the said deed of trust secures a "locked-in" indebtedness which, therefore, may not be prepaid without the express consent of the payees . Furthermore, said payees have informed the AGENCY that they are not willing to give their consent to a pre- payment of said indebtedness . The AGENCY disputes the contentions of and the positions taken by the said beneficiaries . C. In order to avoid the possibility of litigation occur.- ing with respect to the question of whether the aforementioned r " indebtedness may be prepaid, thereby resulting in a delay of the commencement of the improvements contemplated in connec- tion with "The Desert Fashion Plaza" redevelopment project, the AGENCY has requested that TRANSAMERICA issue its policies of title insurance without taking as an exception to the cover- ages provided thereunder the existence of the aforementioned deed of trust in reliance upon the terms, provisions , and covenants set forth in this Agreement. COVENANT'S NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the issuance by TRANSAMERICA of its policy or policies of title insurance in the manner referred to in paragraph C of this Agreement, and also in consideration of the issuance of any other policies of title insurance and/or indorsements thereto which TRANS- AMERICA may be called upon to issue on the title to the pro- perty in the manner referred to in paragraph C of this Agree- ment, and for other valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree, covenant, and promise as follows : 1 . The AGENCY shall , without limitation, hold and save TRANSAMERICA harmless from and against any and all damages, or liability therefor, loss , costs, attorneys ' fees and/or expenses of whatsoever kind or character [including any costs, charges , attorneys ' fees or other expenses which may arise or be incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agree- ment] which TRANSAMERICA shall or may, at any time, suffer, sustain, or incur, by reason of or in consequence of having issued a policy of title insurance or policies of title insur- ance in the manner described in paragraph C of this Agreement. 2 . As security for the performances of its obligations hereunder, the AGENCY, concurrently with its execution of this Agreement, shall deliver into the possession of TRANSAMERICA a Certificate of Deposit in the principal sum of two million dollars ( $2 , 000 , 000 . 00 ) issued by an appropriate financial institution -authorized Dy; law to be a depository for public. funds. With respect to said Cert-Ificate of Deposit, the AGENCY hereby agrees that: a. It shall cause the aforementioned deposit to be invested in such a manner as to bear interest at a rate at least sufficient to accrue funds necessary to pay .the interest, when due, on the indebtedness that is referred in paragraphs A and B of this Agreement ; b. It shall cause the aforementioned deposit to be invested in such a manner as to allow the same, plus accured interest, to be withdrawn to the extent necessary to make each and every installment that becomes due in connec- tion with the aforementioned indebtedness in a timely manner; C. It shall faithfully perform any and all condi- tions and obligations that may be imposed upon it under the terms and provisions of any agreements of deposit that may exist between it and the institution concerning these funds ; d. It shall not assign, pledge, hypothecate, or do any other act with respect to the aforementioned deposit which in any way shall constitute an abridgement of the purposes for which this Agreement has been entered into or the rights that are conferred upon TRANSAMERICA hereunder ; and, e. It shall execute without undue delay any and all documents that are necessary to authorize TRANSAMERICA to be the duly appointed depository of said Certificate of Deposit. 3 . The AGENCY shall not enter into any modification or other agreement which alters or amends the terms and provisions of the promissory note and deed of trust referred to in para- graphs A and B of this Agreement unless prior written consent to do the same has first been obtained from TRANSAMERICA. 4 . TRANSAMERICA may disclose to any prospective insured the basis for and the contents of this Agreement. If any pro- spective insured objects to the issuance of a policy of title insurance to it in the manner described in paragraph C of this Agreement, TRANSAMERICA shall not be under any obligation to issue the policy as requested by the AGENCY, or by its succes- sors , assigns , and TRANSAMERICA shall not have any liability to the AGENCY, or its successors or assigns , by reason of the requested policy of title insurance not being issued for the reasons set forth in this paragraph. 5 .
