ZAP was in default on the $10M loan issued by AL Yousuf Group LLC.
ZAP had no choice as they were going to lose the property in the foreclosure process.
"On September 25, 2009, a complaint captioned Al Yousuf LLC v ZAP (Case No. SW 245950) was filed in the Superior Court for the County of Sonoma. The complaint alleges causes of action for judicial foreclosure and deficiency judgment in connection with a loan agreement with Al Yousuf LLC. The President of Al Yousuf LLC, Eqbal Al Yousuf, is a member of ZAP’s Board of Directors. In its complaint, Al Yousuf LLC claims that ZAP has failed to make scheduled payments required under the loan agreement which is secured by real property that serves as ZAP’s principal executive offices. Al Yousuf LLC seeks to foreclose on the property that secures the loan agreement and recover their attorneys fees, and obtain such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper."
