Item 2.04.		Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

As previously disclosed, Desert Capital REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Forbearance Agreement dated as of June 11, 2010, but effective as of June 23, 2010 (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with the lenders named therein (collectively, the “Lender”) relating to that certain Guaranty dated September 17, 2007, executed by the Company (the “Guaranty”), which guaranteed to the Lender the payment of a loan in the original principal amount of $13,675,000 (the “Loan”) made by Lender to Warm Jones, LLC (the “Borrower”). The Loan is secured by certain real property collateral (the “Collateral”). The Borrower failed to repay the Loan upon its maturity and the Lender filed a Notice of Default and commenced foreclosure proceedings against the Collateral. The Lender also filed an action against the Company for breach of the Guaranty. Pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, subject to certain conditions, the Lender (i) agreed to rescind the Notice of Default and forbear and refrain from restarting a foreclosure action or exercising any other rights or remedies against Borrower or Guarantor that may have existed by virtue of the existing events of default under the Loan, and (ii) waive all outstanding interest, fees and costs that were due or to become due under the Loan during the forbearance period.

The Lender’s agreement to forbear from exercising its remedies and waive all outstanding interest, fees and costs was conditioned on, among other things, the occurrence of no additional events of default under the Loan.

On April 6, 2011, the Company received notice from the Lender asserting that an event of default had occurred under the Forbearance Agreement and deed of trust securing the Loan as a result of a trustee’s sale of the Collateral conducted pursuant to a $2,550,000 second lien mortgage loan. The notice further stated that as a result of such sale, the Lender exercised its option to call the entire amount of the Loan immediately due.
