As such, this Deed of Trust covers all items of the Collateral that are or are to become fixtures. The filing of this Deed of Trust in the real estate records of the county where the Property is located shall constitute a fixture filing in accordance with the Code. Information concerning the security interests created hereby may be obtained at the addresses set forth in Article 1 of this Deed of Trust. Trustor is the “Debtor” and Beneficiary is the “Secured Party” (as those terms are defined and used in the Code) insofar as this Deed of Trust constitutes a financing statement.

ARTICLE 4
TRUSTOR’S AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
4.1 Payment of Note. Trustor will pay all principal, interest, and other sums payable under the Note, on the date when such payments are due, without notice or demand.
4.2 Performance of Other Obligations. Trustor will promptly and strictly perform and comply with all other covenants, conditions, and prohibitions required of Trustor by the terms of the Loan Documents.
4.3 Other Encumbrances. Trustor will promptly and strictly perform and comply with all covenants, conditions, and prohibitions required of Trustor in connection with any other encumbrance affecting the Property, the Chattels, or the Intangible Personalty, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, regardless of whether such other encumbrance is superior or subordinate to the lien hereof.
4.4 Payment of Taxes.
(a) Property Taxes. Unless Trustor is depositing money into reserves pursuant to Section 4.4(b), Trustor will (i) pay, before delinquency, all taxes and assessments, general or special, which may be levied or imposed at any time against Trustor’s interest and estate in the Property, the Chattels, or the Intangible Personalty, and (ii) within ten days after each payment of any such tax or assessment, Trustor will deliver to Beneficiary, without notice or demand, an official receipt for such payment. At Beneficiary’s option, Beneficiary may retain the services of a firm to monitor the payment of all taxes and assessments relating to the Property, the cost of which shall be borne by Trustor.
(b) Deposit for Taxes. On or before the date hereof, Trustor shall deposit with Beneficiary an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount which Beneficiary estimates will be required to make the next annual payment of taxes, assessments, and similar governmental charges referred to in this Section (collectively, the “Tax Reserves”), multiplied by the number of whole or partial months that have elapsed since the date one month prior to the most recent due date for such taxes, assessments and similar governmental charges. Thereafter, with each monthly payment under the Note, Trustor shall deposit with Beneficiary an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount which Beneficiary estimates will be required to pay the next annual payment of taxes, assessments, and similar governmental charges referred to in this Section. The purpose of these provisions is to provide Beneficiary with sufficient funds on hand to pay all such taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges thirty (30) days before the date on which they become past due. If the Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, determines that the funds reserved hereunder are, or will be, insufficient, Trustor shall upon demand pay such additional sums as Beneficiary shall determine necessary and shall pay any increased monthly charges requested by Beneficiary. Provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, Beneficiary will apply the amounts so deposited to the payment of such taxes, assessments, and other charges
11
when due, but in no event will Beneficiary be liable for any interest on any amount so deposited, and any amount so deposited may be held and commingled with Beneficiary’s own funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.4(b), the initial Trustor named herein shall only be required to deposit Tax Reserves with Beneficiary following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
(c) Intangible Taxes. If by reason of any statutory or constitutional amendment or judicial decision adopted or rendered after the date hereof, any tax, assessment, or similar charge is imposed against the Note, against Beneficiary, or against any interest of Beneficiary in any real or personal property encumbered hereby, Trustor will pay such tax, assessment, or other charge before delinquency and will indemnify Beneficiary against all loss, expense, or diminution of income in connection therewith. In the event Trustor is unable to do so, either for economic reasons or because the legal provisions or decisions creating such tax, assessment or charge forbid Trustor from doing so, then the Note will, at Beneficiary’s option, become due and payable in full upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Trustor.
(d) Right to Contest. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, Trustor will not be deemed to be in default solely by reason of Trustor’s failure to pay any tax, assessment or similar governmental charge so long as, in Beneficiary’s judgment, each of the following conditions is satisfied:
(i) Trustor is engaged in and diligently pursuing in good faith administrative or judicial proceedings appropriate to contest the validity or amount of such tax, assessment, or charge; and
(ii) Trustor’s payment of such tax, assessment, or charge would necessarily and materially prejudice Trustor’s prospects for success in such proceedings; and
(iii) Nonpayment of such tax, assessment, or charge will not result in the loss or forfeiture of any property encumbered hereby or any interest of Beneficiary therein; and
(iv) Trustor deposits with Beneficiary, as security for such payment which may ultimately be required, a sum equal to the amount of the disputed tax, assessment or charge plus the interest, penalties, advertising charges, and other costs which Beneficiary estimates are likely to become payable if Trustor’s contest is unsuccessful.
If Beneficiary determines that any one or more of such conditions is not satisfied or is no longer satisfied, Trustor will pay the tax, assessment, or charge in question, together with any interest and penalties thereon, within fifteen (15) days after Beneficiary gives notice of such determination.
4.5 Maintenance of Insurance.
(a) Coverages Required. Trustor shall maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations satisfactory to Beneficiary, all insurance required under the terms of the Insurance Agreement, and shall comply with each and every covenant and agreement contained in the Insurance Agreement.
12
(b) Renewal Policies. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of each insurance policy required pursuant to the Insurance Agreement, Trustor will deliver to Beneficiary an appropriate renewal policy (or a certified copy thereof), together with evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary that the applicable premium has been prepaid.
(c) Deposit for Premiums. On or before the date hereof, Trustor shall deposit with Beneficiary an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount which Beneficiary estimates will be required to make the next annual payments of the premiums for the policies of insurance referred to in this Section (the “Insurance Reserves”), multiplied by the number of whole and partial months which have elapsed since the date one month prior to the most recent policy anniversary date for each such policy. Thereafter, with each monthly payment under the Note, Trustor will deposit an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount which Beneficiary estimates will be required to pay the next required annual premium for each insurance policy referred to in this Section. The purpose of these provisions is to provide Beneficiary with sufficient funds on hand to pay all such premiums thirty (30) days before the date on which they become past due. If Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, determines that the funds reserved hereunder are, or will be, insufficient, Trustor shall upon demand pay such additional sums as Beneficiary shall determine necessary and shall pay any increased monthly charges requested by Beneficiary. Provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, Beneficiary will apply the amounts so deposited to the payment of such insurance premiums when due, but in no event will Beneficiary be liable for any interest on any amounts so deposited, and the money so received may be held and commingled with Beneficiary’s own funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.5(c), the initial Trustor named herein shall only be required to deposit Insurance Reserves with Beneficiary following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
(d) Application of Hazard Insurance Proceeds. Trustor shall promptly notify Beneficiary of any damage or casualty to all or any portion of the Property or Chattels. Beneficiary may participate in all negotiations and appear and participate in all judicial arbitration proceedings concerning any insurance proceeds which may be payable as a result of such casualty or damage, and may, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, compromise or settle, in the name of Beneficiary, Trustor, or both any claim for any such insurance proceeds. Any such insurance proceeds shall be paid to Beneficiary and shall be applied first to reimburse Beneficiary for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the collection of such insurance proceeds. The balance of any insurance proceeds received by Beneficiary with respect to an insured casualty may, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, either (i) be retained and applied by Beneficiary toward payment of the Secured Obligations, or (ii) be paid over, in whole or in part and subject to such conditions as Beneficiary may impose, to Trustor to pay for repairs or replacements necessitated by the casualty; provided, however, that if all of the Secured Obligations have been performed or are discharged by the application of less than all of such insurance proceeds, then any remaining proceeds will be paid over to Trustor. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence to the contrary, if (A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist hereunder, and (B) the proceeds received by Beneficiary (together with any other funds delivered by Trustor to Beneficiary for such purpose) shall be sufficient, in
13
Beneficiary’s reasonable judgment, to pay for any restoration necessitated by the casualty, and (C) the cost of such restoration shall not exceed $100,000.00, and (D) such restoration can be completed, in Beneficiary’s judgment, at least ninety (90) days prior to the maturity date of the Note, then Beneficiary shall apply such proceeds as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. Beneficiary will have no obligation to see to the proper application of any insurance proceeds paid over to Trustor, nor will any such proceeds received by Beneficiary bear interest or be subject to any other charge for the benefit of Trustor. Beneficiary may, prior to the application of insurance proceeds, commingle them with Beneficiary’s own funds and otherwise act with regard to such proceeds as Beneficiary may determine in Beneficiary’s sole discretion.
(e) Successor’s Rights. Any person who acquires title to the Property or the Chattels upon foreclosure hereunder will succeed to all of Trustor’s rights under all policies of insurance maintained pursuant to this Section.
4.6 Maintenance and Repair of Property and Chattels. Trustor will at all times maintain the Property and the Chattels in good condition and repair, will diligently prosecute the completion of any building or other improvement which is at any time in the process of construction on the Property, and will promptly repair, restore, replace, or rebuild any part of the Property or the Chattels which may be affected by any casualty or any public or private taking or injury to the Property or the Chattels. All costs and expenses arising out of the foregoing shall be paid by Trustor whether or not the proceeds of any insurance or eminent domain shall be sufficient therefor. Trustor will comply with all statutes, ordinances, and other governmental or quasi-governmental requirements and private covenants relating to the ownership, construction, use, or operation of the Property, including but not limited to any environmental or ecological requirements; provided, that so long as Trustor is not otherwise in default hereunder, Trustor may, upon providing Beneficiary with security reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, proceed diligently and in good faith to contest the validity or applicability of any such statute, ordinance, or requirement. Beneficiary and any person authorized by Beneficiary may enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times, and may inspect the Chattels, wherever located, at all reasonable times.
4.7 Leases. Trustor shall timely pay and perform each of its obligations under or in connection with the Leases, and shall otherwise pay such sums and take such action as shall be necessary or required in order to maintain each of the Leases in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Trustor shall make reasonable efforts to promptly furnish to Beneficiary copies of any notices given to Trustor by the lessee under any Lease, alleging the default by Trustor in the timely payment or performance of its obligations under such Lease and any subsequent communication related thereto. Trustor shall also promptly furnish to Beneficiary copies of any notices given to Trustor by the lessee under any Lease, extending the term of any Lease, requiring or demanding the expenditure of any sum by Trustor (or demanding the taking of any action by Trustor), or relating to any other material obligation of Trustor under such Lease and any subsequent communication related thereto. Trustor agrees that Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may advance any sum or take any action which Beneficiary believes is necessary or required to maintain the Leases in full force and effect, and all such sums advanced by Beneficiary, together with all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with action taken by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, shall be due and payable by Trustor to Beneficiary upon demand, shall bear interest until paid at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
14
4.8 Eminent Domain; Private Damage. If all or any part of the Property is taken or damaged by eminent domain or any other public or private action, Trustor will notify Beneficiary promptly of the time and place of all meetings, hearings, trials, and other proceedings relating to such action. Beneficiary may participate in all negotiations and appear and participate in all judicial or arbitration proceedings concerning any award or payment which may be due as a result of such taking or damage, and may, in Beneficiary’s reasonable discretion, compromise or settle, in the names of both Trustor and Beneficiary, any claim for any such award or payment. Any such award or payment is to be paid to Beneficiary and will be applied first to reimburse Beneficiary for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the ascertainment and collection of such award or payment. The balance, if any, of such award or payment may, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, either (a) be retained by Beneficiary and applied toward the Secured Obligations, or (b) be paid over, in whole or in part and subject to such conditions as Beneficiary may impose, to Trustor for the purpose of restoring, repairing, or rebuilding any part of the Property affected by the taking or damage. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, and (ii) the proceeds received by Beneficiary (together with any other funds delivered by Trustor to Beneficiary for such purpose) shall be sufficient, in Beneficiary’s reasonable judgment, to pay for any restoration necessitated by the taking or damage, and (iii) the cost of such restoration shall not exceed $100,000.00, and (iv) such restoration can be completed, in Beneficiary’s judgment, at least ninety (90) days prior to the maturity date of the Note, and (v) the remaining Property shall constitute, in Beneficiary’s sole judgment, adequate security for the Secured Obligations, then Beneficiary shall apply such proceeds as provided in clause (b) of the preceding sentence. Trustor’s duty to pay the Note in accordance with its terms and to perform the other Secured Obligations will not be suspended by the pendency or discharged by the conclusion of any proceedings for the collection of any such award or payment, and any reduction in the Secured Obligations resulting from Beneficiary’s application of any such award or payment will take effect only when Beneficiary receives such award or payment. If this Deed of Trust has been foreclosed prior to Beneficiary’s receipt of such award or payment, Beneficiary may nonetheless retain such award or payment to the extent required to reimburse Beneficiary for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith, and to discharge any deficiency remaining with respect to the Secured Obligations.
4.9 Mechanics’ Liens. Trustor will keep the Property free and clear of all liens and claims of liens by contractors, subcontractors, mechanics, laborers, materialmen, and other such persons, and will cause any recorded statement of any such lien to be released of record within thirty (30) days after the recording thereof or such earlier date as may be necessary to stop a foreclosure thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, Trustor will not be deemed to be in default under this Section if (i) the aggregate amount of any asserted liens does not exceed $100,000.00, or (ii) to the extent such liens exceed $100,000.00, Trustor provides Beneficiary with such security as Beneficiary may require to protect Beneficiary against all loss, damage and expense which Beneficiary may incur as a result of such liens in excess of $100,000.00, which security may consist of Trustor causing such liens in excess of $100,000.00 to be bonded over or insured over. Any initiation of proceedings to foreclose on any such lien, however, shall constitute a Default.
15
4.10 Defense of Actions. Trustor will defend, at Trustor’s expense, any action, proceeding or claim which affects any property encumbered hereby or any interest of Beneficiary in such property or in the Secured Obligations, and will indemnify and hold Beneficiary harmless from all loss, damage, cost, or expense, including attorneys’ fees, which Beneficiary may incur in connection therewith.
4.11 Expenses of Enforcement. Trustor will pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which Beneficiary may incur in connection with any effort or action (whether or not litigation or foreclosure is involved) to enforce or defend Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents, including but not limited to all attorneys’ fees, appraisal fees, consultants’ fees, and other expenses incurred by Beneficiary in securing title to or possession of, and realizing upon, any security for the Secured Obligations. All such costs and expenses (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred) shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations, and may be included in the computation of the amount owed to Beneficiary for purposes of foreclosing or otherwise enforcing this Deed of Trust.
4.12 Financial Reports. During the term of the Loan, Trustor shall supply to Beneficiary (a) within forty-five (45) days following the end of each quarter, Trustor’s quarterly and annual operating statements for the Property as of the end of and for the preceding quarter and fiscal year, as applicable, in each case prepared consistent with the form of operating statements delivered to Beneficiary by Trustor prior to the date of this Deed of Trust; (b) contemporaneously with Trustor’s delivery of each of such operating statements, a certified rent roll signed and dated by Trustor in the form delivered to Beneficiary prior to the date of this Deed of Trust; and (c) within ninety (90) days following the end of each year, an annual balance sheet and profit and loss statement of Trustor. The financial statements and reports described in (a) and (c) above shall be in the detail set forth in the financial statements delivered to Beneficiary by Trustor prior to the date of this Deed of Trust, shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and shall be certified as true and correct by Trustor (or, if required by Beneficiary during the continuation of an Event of Default or if required to comply with regulatory requirements to which Beneficiary may be subject, by an independent certified public accountant acceptable to Beneficiary). Trustor shall also furnish to Beneficiary within forty-five (45) days of Beneficiary’s request, any other financial reports or statements of Trustor as Beneficiary may reasonably request to comply with regulatory requirements to which Beneficiary may be subject, or as requested by Beneficiary in its sole discretion during the continuation of an Event of Default. Upon Beneficiary’s demand after any Event of Default, or if Beneficiary securitizes the Loan, Trustor shall supply to Beneficiary the items required in (a) and (b) above on a monthly basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as KBS Bridgeway Technology Center, LLC is Trustor, any request or requirement that Trustor deliver audited financials certified by an independent certified public accountant may be satisfied by delivery of the audited financials for KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.
4.13 Priority of Leases. To the extent Trustor has the right, under the terms of any Lease, to make such Lease subordinate to the lien hereof, Trustor will, at Beneficiary’s
16
request and Trustor’s expense, take such action as may be required to effect such subordination. Conversely, Trustor will, at Beneficiary’s request and Trustor’s expense, take such action as may be necessary to subordinate the lien hereof to any future Lease designated by Beneficiary.
4.14 Inventories; Assembly of Chattels. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, Trustor will at Beneficiary’s request assemble the Chattels and make them available to Beneficiary at any place designated by Beneficiary which is reasonably convenient to both parties.
4.15 Compliance with Laws, Etc. Trustor shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, such compliance to include, without limitation, maintaining all Permits and paying before the same become delinquent all taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed upon Trustor or the Property.
4.16 Records and Books of Account. Trustor shall keep accurate and complete records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions relating to the Property.
4.17 Inspection Rights. At any reasonable time, and from time to time, Trustor shall permit Beneficiary, or any agents or representatives thereof, to examine and make copies of and abstracts from the records and books of account of Trustor, and to visit the Property and to discuss with Trustor the affairs, finances and accounts of Trustor.
4.18 Change of Trustor’s Address or State of Organization. Trustor shall promptly notify Beneficiary if changes are made in Trustor’s address from that set forth in Section 9.10 hereof, or if Trustor shall either change its “location” (as such term is used in Section 5.8 hereof), its state of organization or if Trustor shall organize in any state other than the State of Delaware.
4.19 Further Assurances; Estoppel Certificates. Trustor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary upon demand, and pay the costs of preparation and recording thereof, any further documents which Beneficiary may request to confirm or perfect the liens and security interests created or intended to be created hereby, or to confirm or perfect any evidence of the Secured Obligations. Trustor will also, within ten days after any request by Beneficiary, deliver to Beneficiary a signed and acknowledged statement certifying to Beneficiary, or to any proposed transferee of the Secured Obligations, (a) the balance of principal, interest, and other sums then outstanding under the Note, and (b) whether Trustor claims to have any offsets or defenses with respect to the Secured Obligations and, if so, the nature of such offsets or defenses.
4.20 Costs of Closing. Trustor shall on demand pay directly or reimburse Beneficiary for any actual costs or expenses pertaining to the closing of the Loan, including, but not limited to, fees of counsel for Beneficiary, costs and expenses for which invoices were not available at the closing of the Loan, or costs and expenses which are incurred by Beneficiary after such closing, including, without limitation, costs or expenses incurred to obtain originals or copies of recorded or filed Loan Documents and UCC financing statements. All such costs and expenses (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by
17
Beneficiary) shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations, and may be included in the computation of the amount owed to Beneficiary for purposes of foreclosing or otherwise enforcing this Deed of Trust.
4.21 Fund for Electronic Transfer. All monthly payments of principal and interest on the Note, and escrow deposits, if any, under this Deed of Trust, shall be made by Trustor by electronic funds transfer from a bank account established and maintained by Trustor for such purpose. Trustor shall establish and maintain such an account until the Note is fully paid and shall direct the depository of such account in writing to so transmit such payments on or before the respective due dates to the account of Beneficiary as shall be designated by Beneficiary in writing.
4.22 Use. Trustor shall use the Property solely for the operation of an office complex, and for no other use or purpose.
4.23 Management. The Property shall be managed by CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (“Property Manager”) under a management agreement previously delivered to, and approved, by Beneficiary (the “Management Agreement”). If Trustor shall terminate or permit any amendment to or modification of the Management Agreement, or permit management of the Property by any person or entity other than Property Manager (“New Property Manager”), Trustor shall promptly provide Beneficiary with notice thereof and any such New Property Manager shall have management expertise in managing properties similar in size and type to the Property. Beneficiary hereby approves any of the following as New Property Managers: Xxxxx Xxxx and PM Realty Group. Following a transfer of the Property by the initial Trustor named herein pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4(c), below, Beneficiary’s prior written consent shall be required for (a) any termination or modification of the Management Agreement, (b) management of the Property by any person or entity other than Property Manager, and (c) any leasing agreement affecting the Property entered into by Trustor and any termination or modification of any such leasing agreement.
4.24 Secondary Market Transactions. Beneficiary shall have the right at any time: (a) to participate, syndicate or securitize all or any portion of its interest in the Loan, (b) to cause the Loan to be split into senior and one or more junior or mezzanine Loans in whatever proportion Beneficiary deems appropriate (which Loans may be secured by mortgages, deeds of trust and/or a pledge of direct or indirect partnership or membership interests in Trustor), and (c) to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) or multiple components of such note or notes, and thereafter to sell, assign, participate, syndicate or securitize all or any part of any variant of the Loan (any of the foregoing, a “Secondary Market Transaction”). Trustor shall cooperate with Beneficiary to facilitate any Secondary Market Transaction and the rating of the Loan (or any resulting variant thereof) and of each securitization in which one or more Loans are included; provided that Trustor shall not be required to (i) incur any out-of-pocket expense in connection therewith unless Beneficiary agrees to pay for such out-of-pocket expenses as they are incurred by Trustor, (ii) agree to a modification of any Loan document, or (iii) take any actions that would impose a significant burden on Trustor, including, without limitation, requesting executives of Trustor or other executives of entities holding an interest (direct or indirect) in Trustor to participate in any form of presentation regarding the Property or the Loans. Trustor’s cooperation obligation shall continue until the Loan has been sold through a Secondary Market Transaction.

4.25 Cash Management. Following any transfer of the Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4(c), below, or at any time after the closing of the Loan upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice by Beneficiary, Trustor shall establish an account (the “Clearing Account”) under the sole dominion and control of Beneficiary at a bank (the “Clearing Bank”) into which all proceeds from the Property will be deposited during the Loan term. The Clearing Bank will be selected by Trustor but must be acceptable to Beneficiary. Trustor shall be required to notify each tenant of the Property to remit all amounts due with respect to the Property directly to the Clearing Account. Unless a Cash Management Period (as defined below) is continuing, all funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank into Trustor’s operating account at the Clearing Bank. There shall be no restrictions on Trustor’s use of the operating account. During the continuance of a Cash Management Period, funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be transferred by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into a deposit account (the “Deposit Account”) under the sole dominion and control of the Beneficiary at a bank selected by Beneficiary (the “Deposit Bank”). All funds in the Deposit Account shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to be used to cover interest payments under the Note, (b) second, disbursed monthly to Trustor in an amount sufficient to allow Trustor to make Permitted REIT Distributions (as that term is defined in the Note), (c) third, to fund any reserves established under the terms of the Loan Documents, and (d) fourth, to pay operating expenses and capital expenses of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing subsections (c) and (d), during the continuance of a Cash Management Period, all amounts on deposit in the Deposit Account, after monthly payment to the Trustor of funds sufficient to allow Trustor to make Permitted REIT Distributions, shall be additional cash collateral for the Loan and applied to Trustor’s outstanding obligations under the Loan as Beneficiary may elect. A “Cash Management Period” shall commence upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, and shall end if the Event of Default has been cured. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, Trustor shall have the right under all circumstances to use proceeds from the Property first to make Permitted REIT Distributions before applying such proceeds to any debt service or reserve or other payment obligations under the Loan.
4.26 Hazardous Substances. Trustor covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Trustor will (i) comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the ownership or use of the Property, (ii) use its best efforts to cause all tenants and other persons occupying the Property to comply with all Environmental Laws, (iii) immediately pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incurred in such compliance, and (iv) keep or cause the Property to be kept free and clear of any liens imposed thereon pursuant to any Environmental Laws.
(b) Trustor will not generate, use, treat, store, Release or dispose of, or permit the generation, use, treatment, storage, Release or disposal of, any Hazardous Substances on the Property, or transport or permit the transportation of any Hazardous Substances to or from the Property, in each case in any quantity or manner which violates any Environmental Law. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Trustor may store, maintain and use on the
19
Property janitorial and maintenance supplies, paint and other Hazardous Substances of a type and in a quantity readily available for purchase by the general public and normally stored, maintained and used by owners and managers of properties of a type similar to the Property, and (ii) tenants of the Property may store, maintain and use on the Property (and, if any tenant is a retail business, hold in inventory and sell in the ordinary course of such tenant’s business) Hazardous Substances of a type and quantity readily available for purchase by the general public and normally stored, maintained and used (and, if tenant is a retail business, sold) by tenants in similar lines of business on properties similar to the Property.
(c) If Beneficiary (i) has knowledge of any pending or threatened Environmental Claim against Trustor or the Property or (ii) has reason to believe that the Trustor or the Property are in violation of any Environmental Law or (iii) receives a request for an environmental site assessment report from a regulatory or other governmental entity with jurisdiction over Beneficiary, then at Beneficiary’s written request, at any time and from time to time, Trustor will provide to Beneficiary an environmental site assessment report concerning the Property, prepared by an environmental consulting firm approved by Beneficiary, indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances and the potential cost of any removal or remedial action in connection with any Hazardous Substances on the Property (except that any request arising from clause (iii) above shall be at Beneficiary’s sole cost and expense). Except as provided above, any such environmental site assessment report shall be conducted at Trustor’s sole cost and expense. If Trustor fails to deliver to Beneficiary any such environmental site assessment report within thirty (30) days after being requested to do so by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 4.26, Beneficiary may obtain the same, and Trustor hereby grants to Beneficiary and its agents access to the Property and specifically grants to Beneficiary an irrevocable nonexclusive license to undertake such an assessment, and the cost of such assessment (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate as defined in the Note) will be payable by Trustor on demand.
(d) Beneficiary may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, perform at its sole cost and expense an environmental site assessment report for the Property, and Trustor hereby grants to Beneficiary and its agents access to the Property upon reasonable prior notice to Trustor, and specifically grants to Beneficiary an irrevocable non-exclusive license to undertake such an assessment, expressly excluding any invasive inspections. Trustor shall have the right to have an agent or representative of Trustor present during any such inspection.
(e) Trustor will advise Beneficiary in writing immediately upon learning of any of the following: (i)any pending or threatened Environmental Claim against Trustor or the Property; (ii) any condition or occurrence on the Property that (A) results in noncompliance by Trustor with any applicable Environmental Law, or (B) could reasonably be anticipated to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Trustor or the Property; (iii) any condition or occurrence on the Property that could reasonably be anticipated to cause the Property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of the Property under any Environmental Law; and (iv) the taking of any removal or remedial action in response to the actual or alleged presence, in any quantity or manner which violates any Environmental Law, of any Hazardous Substances on the Property. Each such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, investigation, condition, occurrence or removal or remedial action and Trustor’s response thereto. In addition, Trustor will provide
20
Beneficiary with copies of all communications to or from Trustor and any governmental agency relating to Environmental Laws, all communications to or from Trustor and any person relating to Environmental Claims, and such detailed reports of any Environmental Claim as may be requested by Beneficiary.
(f) Beneficiary shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in or defend, as a party if it so elects, any Environmental Claim. Without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, Trustor shall not enter into any settlement, consent or compromise with respect to any Environmental Claim that might impair the value of the Property.
(g) At its sole expense, Trustor will conduct any investigation, study, sampling and testing, and undertake any cleanup, removal, remedial or other action necessary to remove and clean up all Hazardous Substances from the Property which must be so removed or cleaned up in accordance with the requirements of any applicable Environmental Laws, to the reasonable satisfaction of a professional environmental consultant selected by Beneficiary, and in accordance with all such requirements and with orders and directives of all governmental authorities. If all or any portion of the Loan shall be outstanding, Trustor may prepay the Loan in full, together with all applicable prepayment penalties, in lieu of complying with the preceding sentence.
(h) Trustor will defend (with attorneys satisfactory to the Indemnitees), protect, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Indemnitees and its respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents from and against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal and remedial actions), losses, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages and punitive damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may at any time be incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them directly or indirectly based on, or arising or resulting from (i) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Substances on the Property in any quantity or manner which violates Environmental Law, or the removal, handling, transportation, disposal or storage of such Hazardous Substances, (ii) any Environmental Claim with respect to Trustor or the Property, or (iii) the exercise of any Indemnitee’s rights under this Section 4.26 (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”), regardless of when such Indemnified Matters arise, but excluding any Indemnified Matter arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee or with respect to Hazardous Substances first Released on the Property after the earlier of (1) the date neither Trustor nor any of its affiliates holds title to or any other interest in or lien on the Property as a result of a transfer permitted under Section 5.4(c), below, or through foreclosure (or deed in lieu thereof) of the lien of the Deed of Trust, or (2) the payment in full of the Secured Obligations. To the extent that this indemnity is unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Trustor agrees to contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, “the Secured Obligations have been paid in full” shall mean the Secured Obligations have been voluntarily repaid in full by Trustor in cash, only, and shall not include the acceptance by Beneficiary of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or the making of any bid made by Beneficiary in connection with a foreclosure of the Property.
21
(i) Trustor will reimburse each Indemnitee for all sums paid and costs incurred by such Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter within ten (10) days following written demand therefor, with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) if not paid within such ten (10) day period.
(j) Should any Indemnitee institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity, or in arbitration, to enforce any provision of this Deed of Trust (including an action for declaratory relief or for damages by reason of any alleged breach of any provision of this Section 4.26) or otherwise in connection with this Deed of Trust or any provision hereof, it shall be entitled to recover from Trustor its reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith if it is the prevailing party in such action or proceeding.
(k) Trustor agrees that notwithstanding any term or provision contained in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Trustor as set forth in this Section 4.26 shall be exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpatory provision relating to the Loan, and Trustor shall be fully liable for the performance of its obligations under this Section, and such liability shall not be limited to the original principal amount of the Loan.
(l) The liability of Trustor under this Section 4.26 shall in no way be limited to or impaired by any amendment or modification of the provisions of the Loan Documents unless such amendment or modification expressly refers to this Section 4.26. In addition, the liability of Trustor under this Section 4.26 shall in no way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents, (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Property, (iii) any exculpatory provision in any of the Loan Documents limiting any Indemnitee’s recourse to property encumbered by this Deed of Trust or to any other security, or limiting the Indemnitees’ rights to a deficiency judgment against Trustor, (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Trustor under any of the Loan Documents, (v) the release of Trustor or any other person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, any Indemnitee’s voluntary act, or otherwise, (vi) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Note or (vii) Beneficiary’s failure to record this Deed of Trust or file any financing statements (or Beneficiary’s improper recording or filing of any thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien given as security for the Note; and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Trustor and with or without consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything else stated to the contrary in this Deed of Trust, none of the constituent members or partners in Trustor (nor any of their constituent members or partners) shall have any liability whatsoever for any of Trustor’s obligations hereunder.
(m) The provisions of this Section 4.26 shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of Trustor, the Indemnitees, and their respective successors and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 4.26 shall inure to the benefit of each assignee or holder of the Note and each of such assignee’s or holder’s officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustor, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary in each instance, may not assign, transfer or set over in whole or in part, all or any part of its benefits, rights, duties and obligations hereunder.
22
(n) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 4.26 SHALL SURVIVE FORECLOSURE, THE RECONVEYANCE, TERMINATION AND RELEASE OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, BUT TRUSTOR’S LIABILITY HEREUNDER SHALL BE SUBJECT TO SECTION 18 OF THE NOTE.

If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any part of the Property is or becomes a nonconforming use, Trustor will not cause such use to be discontinued or abandoned without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, and Trustor will use its best efforts to prevent the tenant under any Lease from discontinuing or abandoning such use.
5.3 Interference with Leases.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(d) hereof, Trustor will neither do, nor neglect to do, anything which may cause or permit the termination of any Lease of all or any part of the Property, or cause or permit the withholding or abatement of any rent payable under any such Lease.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(d) hereof, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, Trustor shall not enter into or modify any Lease of all or any part of the Property. Any submission by Trustor for Beneficiary’s approval of a Lease or modification thereof shall be accompanied by a copy of such Lease or modification, a Lease abstract, a then-current rent roll for the Property, year-to-date and prior year operating statements for the Property, and a cover letter requesting Beneficiary’s approval which contains a signature line on which Beneficiary may evidence its approval of such Lease or modification.

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, whether or not Beneficiary’s consent to the cancellation or surrender of any Lease is required hereunder, Beneficiary may (i) require that Trustor deposit into an escrow account acceptable to Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion all cancellation penalties or other consideration paid to Trustor in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000.00 (and any such termination fees received by Trustor under said $100,000.00 may be retained by Trustor) in connection with such cancellation or surrender (the “Termination Fees”); provided, however, that the amount of any Termination Fees required to be deposited by Trustor under this Section 5.3 shall be limited to the lesser of (1) the actual amount of the Lease termination payment, and (2) the amount needed to cover the retenanting costs of the vacant space, and (ii) impose such restrictions and conditions on the timing and amount of disbursements of the Termination Fees from such escrow account as Beneficiary may require in its reasonable discretion, including, without limitation (A) requiring that (1) such vacant space be relet to a tenant and under a Lease acceptable to Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion (an “Approved Lease”), (2) the tenant under the Approved Lease is in occupancy of the Property and paying rent, (3) Trustor provide to Beneficiary a tenant estoppel certificate from the tenant under the Approved Lease in a form acceptable to Beneficiary in Beneficiary’s reasonable discretion, and (4) Trustor provide to Beneficiary evidence acceptable to Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion that all improvements to the Property required by the Approved Lease have been completed, and (B) limiting the amount of such disbursement to the lesser of the actual cost of retenanting such space or the amount calculated by dividing the Termination Fees by the total square feet of space vacated, then multiplying that result by the number of square feet of newly leased space under the Approved Lease. If at any time the amount of Termination Fees held by Beneficiary exceeds the estimated amount needed for retenanting costs, such excess amount shall be promptly remitted back to Trustor. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Permitted REIT Distributions (as defined in the Note) shall have priority over the requirement to deposit Termination Fees pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) and the provisions of subsection 5.3(e)(ii)(A) shall apply only after a transfer of the Property by the initial Trustor named herein pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4(c), below. Trustor hereby grants to Beneficiary a security interest in the Termination Fees and agrees that, following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary may apply the Termination Fees against the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect in its sole discretion.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be calculated on a cash flow basis. The “Loan-to-Value Ratio” shall be the ratio, as determined by Beneficiary, of the aggregate principal balance of the Note and all other indebtedness secured by liens or encumbrances against the Property to the fair market value of the Property, as such fair market value is determined by an M.A.I. appraisal satisfactory to Beneficiary (the “Appraisal”). Upon Beneficiary’s request, Trustor shall deliver the appraisal to Beneficiary at Trustor’s sole cost and expense.
5.5 Further Encumbrance of Chattels. Trustor will neither create nor permit any lien, security interest or encumbrance against the Chattels or Intangible Personalty or any part thereof or interest therein, other than the liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, which may be withheld for any reason.
5.6 Assessments Against Property. Trustor will not, without the prior written approval of Beneficiary, which may be withheld for any reason, consent to or allow the creation of any so-called special districts, special improvement districts, benefit assessment districts or similar districts, or any other body or entity of any type, or allow to occur any other event, that would or might result in the imposition of any additional taxes, assessments or other monetary obligations or burdens on the Property, and this provision shall serve as RECORD NOTICE to any such district or districts or any governmental entity under whose authority such district or districts exist or are being formed that, should Trustor or any other person or entity include all or any portion of the Property in such district or districts, whether formed or in the process of formation, without first obtaining Beneficiary’s express written consent, the rights of Beneficiary in the Property pursuant to this Deed of Trust or following any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, and the rights of any person or entity to whom Beneficiary might transfer the Property following a foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, shall be senior and superior to any taxes, charges, fees, assessments or other impositions of any kind or nature whatsoever, or liens (whether statutory, contractual or otherwise) levied or imposed, or to be levied or imposed, upon the Property or any portion thereof as a result of inclusion of the Property in such district or districts.
27

Trustor will not change its name or the name under which it does business (or adopt or begin doing business under any other name or assumed or trade name), change its organizational identification number, or change its location, without first notifying Beneficiary of its intention to do so and delivering to Beneficiary such organizational documents of Trustor and executed modifications or supplements to this Deed of Trust (and to any financing statement which may be filed in connection herewith) as Beneficiary may require. For purposes of the foregoing, Trustor’s “location” shall mean (a) if Trustor is a registered organization, Trustor’s state of registration, (b) if Trustor is an individual, the state of Trustor’s principal residence, or (c) if Trustor is neither a registered organization nor an individual, the state in which Trustor’s place of business (or, if Trustor has more than one place of business, the Trustor’s chief executive office) is located.

5.10 ERISA. Trustor shall not engage in any transaction which would cause the Note (or the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights under the Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt, prohibited transaction under ERISA (including for this purpose the parallel provisions of Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), or otherwise result in Beneficiary being deemed in violation of any applicable provisions of ERISA. Trustor shall indemnify, protect, defend, and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, judgments, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of claims and in obtaining any individual ERISA exemption or state administrative exception that may be required, in Beneficiary’s sole and absolute discretion) that Beneficiary may incur, directly or indirectly, as the result of the breach by Trustor of any warranty or representation set forth in Section 3.3(x) hereof or the breach by Trustor of any covenant contained in this Section. This indemnity shall survive any termination, satisfaction or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust and shall not be subject to the limitation on personal liability described in the Note.
5.11 Use of Proceeds. Trustor will not use any funds advanced by Beneficiary under the Loan Documents for household or agricultural purposes, to purchase margin stock, or for any purpose prohibited by law.
5.12 Single Purpose Entity.

If any representation or warranty made by Trustor in this Deed of Trust, any of the other Loan Documents, the Loan Application or any other instrument or document modifying, renewing, extending, evidencing, securing or pertaining to the Note is false, misleading or erroneous in any material respect when made and shall cause a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE 7
BENEFICIARY’S REMEDIES
Immediately upon or any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, Beneficiary may exercise any remedy available at law or in equity, including but not limited to those listed below and those listed in the other Loan Documents, in such sequence or combination as Beneficiary may determine in Beneficiary’s sole discretion:
30
7.1 Performance of Defaulted Obligations. Beneficiary may make any payment or perform any other obligation under the Loan Documents or under Leases which Trustor has failed to make or perform, and Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact for Trustor to make any such payment and perform any such obligation in the name of Trustor. All payments made and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Beneficiary in this connection, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid or incurred until repaid, will be part of the Secured Obligations and will be immediately due and payable by Trustor to Beneficiary. In lieu of advancing Beneficiary’s own funds for such purposes, Beneficiary may use any funds of Trustor which may be in Beneficiary’s possession, including but not limited to insurance or condemnation proceeds and amounts deposited for taxes, insurance premiums, or other purposes.
7.2 Specific Performance and Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the availability of legal remedies, Beneficiary will be entitled to obtain specific performance, mandatory or prohibitory injunctive relief, or other equitable relief requiring Trustor to cure or refrain from repeating any Default.
7.3 Acceleration of Secured Obligations. Beneficiary may, without notice or demand, declare all of the Secured Obligations immediately due and payable in full.
7.4 Suit for Monetary Relief. Subject to the non-recourse provisions of the Note, with or without accelerating the maturity of the Secured Obligations, Beneficiary may sue from time to time for any payment due under any of the Loan Documents, or for money damages resulting from Trustor’s default under any of the Loan Documents.
7.5 Possession of Property. Beneficiary may enter and take possession of the Property without seeking or obtaining the appointment of a receiver, may employ a managing agent for the Property, and may lease or rent all or any part of the Property, either in Beneficiary’s name or in the name of Trustor, and may collect the rents, issues, and profits of the Property. Any revenues collected by Beneficiary under this Section will be applied first toward payment of all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred until repaid, and the balance, if any, will be applied against the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect in its sole discretion.
7.6 Enforcement of Security Interests. Beneficiary may exercise all rights of a secured party under the Code with respect to the Chattels and the Intangible Personalty, including but not limited to taking possession of, holding, and selling the Chattels and enforcing or otherwise realizing upon any accounts and general intangibles. Any requirement for reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale, or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made, will be satisfied by Beneficiary’s giving of such notice to Trustor at least five days prior to the time of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made.
31
7.7 Foreclosure Against Property.
(a) Beneficiary may foreclose this Deed of Trust, insofar as it encumbers the Property, either by judicial action or through Trustee. Should Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein contained, Beneficiary shall notify Trustee and shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust and the Note and such receipts and evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as Trustee may require.
(b) Upon receipt of such notice from Beneficiary, Trustee shall cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Trustor such Notice of Default and Election to Sell as is then required by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Trustor, after lapse of such time as may then be required by law and after recordation of such Notice of Default and after Notice of Sale having been given as required by law, sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said Notice of Sale, either as a whole, or in separate lots or parcels or items as Trustee shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of Sale. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without limitation, Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale and Trustor hereby covenants to warrant and defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers. Trustor hereby constitutes and appoints Trustee as its attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to execute, deliver, file, record or process on behalf of Trustor any and all instruments or documents or to take any other action on behalf of Trustor reasonably required to accomplish the vesting of the Property, or any part thereof, in the purchaser or purchasers at any sale conducted hereunder.
(c) All fees, costs and expenses of any kind incurred by Beneficiary in connection with foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, the costs of any appraisals of the Property obtained by Beneficiary, the cost of any title reports or abstracts, all costs of any receivership for the Property advanced by Beneficiary, and all attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses incurred by Beneficiary, shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations and may be included as part of the amount owing from Trustor to Beneficiary at any foreclosure sale. The proceeds of any sale under this Section shall be applied first to the fees and expenses of the Trustee or other officer conducting the sale, and then to the reduction or discharge of the Secured Obligations; any surplus remaining shall be paid over to Trustor or to such other person or persons as may be lawfully entitled to such surplus.
(d) Subject to California Civil Code § 2924g, Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement or subsequently noticed sale, and without further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may in its discretion, give a new notice of sale.
(e) A sale of less than the whole of the Property or any defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of sale provided for herein; and subsequent sales may be made hereunder until all obligations secured hereby have been satisfied, or the entire Property sold, without defect or irregularity.
32
7.8 Appointment of Receiver. Beneficiary shall be entitled, as a matter of absolute right and without regard to the value of any security for the Secured Obligations or the solvency of any person liable therefor, to the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon ex-parte application to any court of competent jurisdiction. Trustor waives any right to any hearing or notice of hearing prior to the appointment of a receiver. Such receiver and its agents shall be empowered, but shall not be obligated, to (a) take possession of the Property and any businesses conducted by Trustor or any other person thereon and any business assets used in connection therewith, (b) exclude Trustor and Trustor’s agents, servants, and employees from the Property, (c) collect the rents, issues, profits, and income therefrom, (d) complete any construction which may be in progress, (e) do such maintenance and make such repairs and alterations as the receiver deems necessary, (f) use all stores of materials, supplies, and maintenance equipment on the Property and replace such items at the expense of the receivership estate, (g) pay all taxes and assessments against the Property and the Chattels, all premiums for insurance thereon, all utility and other operating expenses, and all sums due under any prior or subsequent encumbrance, and (h) generally do anything which Trustor could legally do if Trustor were in possession of the Property. All expenses incurred by the receiver or its agents shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations. Any revenues collected by the receiver shall be applied first to the expenses of the receivership, including attorneys’ fees incurred by the receiver and by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred until repaid, and the balance shall be applied toward the Secured Obligations or in such other manner as the court may direct. Unless sooner terminated with the express consent of Beneficiary, any such receivership will continue until the Secured Obligations have been discharged in full, or until title to the Property has passed after foreclosure sale and all applicable periods of redemption have expired.
7.9 Right to Make Repairs, Improvements. Should any part of the Property come into the possession of Beneficiary, whether before or after an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, use, operate, and/or make repairs, alterations, additions and improvements to the Property for the purpose of preserving it or its value. Trustor covenants to promptly reimburse and pay to Beneficiary, at the place where the Note is payable, or at such other place as may be designated by Beneficiary in writing, the amount of all reasonable expenses (including the cost of any insurance, taxes, or other charges) incurred by Beneficiary in connection with its custody, preservation, use or operation of the Property, together with interest thereon from the date incurred by Beneficiary at the Default Rate, and all such expenses, costs, taxes, interest, and other charges shall be a part of the Secured Obligations. It is agreed, however, that the risk of accidental loss or damage to the Property is undertaken by Trustor and Beneficiary shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to obtain or maintain insurance, or for failure to determine whether any insurance ever in force is adequate as to amount or as to the risks insured.
7.10 Surrender of Insurance. Beneficiary may surrender the insurance policies maintained pursuant to the terms hereof, or any part thereof, and receive and apply the unearned premiums as a credit on the Secured Obligations and, in connection therewith, Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary (or any officer of Beneficiary), as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for Trustor (with full powers of substitution), which power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and therefore irrevocable, to collect such premiums.

7.11 Prima Facie Evidence. Trustor agrees that, in any assignments, deeds, bills of sale, notices of sale, or postings, given by Beneficiary, any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made as to the identity of Beneficiary, or as to the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, or as to the acceleration of the maturity of the Secured Obligations, or as to the request to sell, posting of notice of sale, notice of sale, time, place, terms and manner of sale and receipt, distribution and application of the money realized therefrom, and without being limited by the foregoing, as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Beneficiary, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that such statements or recitals state facts and are without further question to be so accepted, and Trustor does hereby ratify and confirm any and all acts that Beneficiary may lawfully do by virtue hereof.
ARTICLE 8
ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
8.1 Assignment of Leases and Rents. Trustor hereby unconditionally and absolutely grants, transfers and assigns unto Beneficiary all rents, royalties, issues, profits and income (“Rents”) now or hereafter due or payable for the occupancy or use of the Property, and all Leases, whether written or oral, with all security therefor, including all guaranties thereof, now or hereafter affecting the Property; on the condition that Beneficiary hereby grants to Trustor a license to collect and retain such Rents prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder. Such license shall be revocable by Beneficiary without notice to Trustor at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Trustor represents that the Rents and the Leases have not been heretofore sold, assigned, transferred or set over by any instrument now in force and will not at any time during the life of this assignment be sold, assigned, transferred or set over by Trustor or by any person or persons whomsoever; and Trustor has good right to sell, assign, transfer and set over the same and to grant to and confer upon Beneficiary the rights, interest, powers and authorities herein granted and conferred. Failure of Beneficiary at any time or from time to time to enforce the assignment of Rents and Leases under this Section shall not in any manner prevent its subsequent enforcement, and Beneficiary is not obligated to collect anything hereunder, but is accountable only for sums actually collected.
8.2 Further Assignments. Trustor shall give Beneficiary at any time upon demand any further or additional forms of assignment of transfer of such Rents, Leases and security as may be reasonably requested by Beneficiary, and shall deliver to Beneficiary executed copies of all such Leases and security.
8.3 Application of Rents. Beneficiary shall be entitled to deduct and retain a just and reasonable compensation from monies received hereunder for its services or that of its agents in collecting such monies. Any monies received by Beneficiary hereunder may be applied when received from time to time in payment of any taxes, assessments or other liens affecting the Property regardless of the delinquency, such application to be in such order as Beneficiary may determine. The acceptance of this Deed of Trust by Beneficiary or the exercise of any rights by it hereunder shall not be, or be construed to be, an affirmation by it of any Lease nor an assumption of any liability under any Lease.
34
8.4 Collection of Rents. Upon or at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable, and may, at its option, without notice, and whether or not the Secured Obligations shall have been declared due and payable, either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, (i) enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate the Property, or any part thereof (including without limitation making necessary repairs, alterations and improvements to the Property); (ii) make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases; (iii) obtain and evict tenants; (iv) fix or modify Rents; (v) do any acts which Beneficiary deems reasonably proper to protect the security thereof; and (vi) either with or without taking possession of the Property, in its own name sue for or otherwise collect and receive such Rents, including those past due and unpaid. In connection with the foregoing, Beneficiary shall be entitled and empowered to employ attorneys, and management, rental and other agents in and about the Property and to effect the matters which Beneficiary is empowered to do, and in the event Beneficiary shall itself effect such matters, Beneficiary shall be entitled to charge and receive reasonable management, rental and other fees therefor as may be customary in the area in which the Property is located; and the reasonable fees, charges, costs and expenses of Beneficiary or such persons shall be additional Secured Obligations. Beneficiary may apply all funds collected as aforesaid, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys’ and agents’ fees, charges, costs and expenses, as aforesaid, upon any Secured Obligations, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of the Property, the collection of such Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure or waive any default or waive, modify or affect notice of default under the Note or this Deed of Trust or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
8.5 Authority of Beneficiary. Any tenants or occupants of any part of the Property are hereby authorized to recognize the claims of Beneficiary hereunder without investigating the reason for any action taken by Beneficiary, or the validity or the amount of indebtedness owing to Beneficiary, or the existence of any default in the Note or this Deed of Trust, or under or by reason of this assignment of Rents and Leases, or the application to be made by Beneficiary of any amounts to be paid to Beneficiary. The sole signature of Beneficiary shall be sufficient for the exercise of any rights under this assignment and the sole receipt of Beneficiary for any sums received shall be a full discharge and release therefor to any such tenant or occupant of the Property. Checks for all or any part of the rentals collected under this assignment of Rents and Leases shall be drawn to the exclusive order of Beneficiary.
8.6 Indemnification of Beneficiary. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate Beneficiary to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of any lessor under any Lease of the Property, and Trustor shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Beneficiary harmless from any and all liability, loss or damage which Beneficiary may or might incur under any Lease of the Property or by reason of this assignment; and any and all such liability, loss or damage incurred by Beneficiary, together with the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Beneficiary in defense of any claims or demands therefor (whether successful or not), shall be additional Secured Obligations, and Trustor shall reimburse Beneficiary therefor on demand.
35
ARTICLE 9
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
9.1 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all of Trustor’s obligations under the Loan Documents.
9.2 Joint and Several Obligations. If Trustor is more than one person or entity, then (a) all persons or entities comprising Trustor are jointly and severally liable for all of the Secured Obligations; (b) all representations, warranties, and covenants made by Trustor shall be deemed representations, warranties, and covenants of each of the persons or entities comprising Trustor; (c) any breach, Default or Event of Default by any persons or entities comprising Trustor hereunder shall be deemed to be a breach, Default or Event of Default of Trustor; (d) any reference herein contained to the knowledge or awareness of Trustor shall mean the knowledge or awareness of any of the persons or entities comprising Trustor; and (e) any event creating personal liability of any of the persons or entities comprising Trustor shall create personal liability for all such persons or entities.
9.3 Waiver of Homestead and Other Exemptions. To the extent permitted by law, Trustor hereby waives all rights to any homestead or other exemption to which Trustor would otherwise be entitled under any present or future constitutional, statutory, or other provision of applicable state or federal law. Trustor hereby waives any right it may have to require Beneficiary to marshal all or any portion of the security for the Secured Obligations.
9.4 Non-Recourse; Exceptions to Non-Recourse. Except as expressly set forth in the Note, the recourse of Beneficiary with respect to the obligations evidenced by the Note, this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents shall be solely to the Property, Chattels and Intangible Personalty, and any other collateral given as security for the Note.
9.5 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under each of the Loan Documents are cumulative of the rights and remedies available to Beneficiary under each of the other Loan Documents and those otherwise available to Beneficiary at law or in equity. No act of Beneficiary shall be construed as an election to proceed under any particular provision of any Loan Document to the exclusion of any other provision in the same or any other Loan Document, or as an election of remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter be available to Beneficiary.
9.6 No Implied Waivers. Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have waived any provision of any Loan Document unless such waiver is in writing and is signed by Beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, neither Beneficiary’s acceptance of any payment with knowledge of a Default by Trustor, nor any failure by Beneficiary to exercise any remedy following a Default by Trustor shall be deemed a waiver of such Default, and no waiver by Beneficiary of any particular Default on the part of Trustor shall be deemed a waiver of any other Default or of any similar Default in the future.
36
9.7 No Third-Party Rights. No person shall be a third-party beneficiary of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. All provisions of the Loan Documents favoring Beneficiary are intended solely for the benefit of Beneficiary, and no third party shall be entitled to assume or expect that Beneficiary will waive or consent to modification of any such provision in Beneficiary’s sole discretion.
9.8 Preservation of Liability and Priority. Without affecting the liability of Trustor or of any other person (except a person expressly released in writing) for payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations, and without affecting the rights of Beneficiary with respect to any security not expressly released in writing, and without impairing in any way the priority of this Deed of Trust over the interests of any person acquired or first evidenced by recording subsequent to the recording hereof, Beneficiary may, either before or after the maturity of the Note, and without notice or consent: (a) release any person liable for payment or performance of all or any part of the Secured Obligations; (b) make any agreement altering the terms of payment or performance of all or any of the Secured Obligations; (c) exercise or refrain from exercising, or waive, any right or remedy which Beneficiary may have under any of the Loan Documents; (d) accept additional security of any kind for any of the Secured Obligations; or (e) release or otherwise deal with any real or personal property securing the Secured Obligations. Any person acquiring or recording evidence of any interest of any nature in the Property, the Chattels, or the Intangible Personalty shall be deemed, by acquiring such interest or recording any evidence thereof, to have agreed and consented to any or all such actions by Beneficiary.
9.9 Subrogation of Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the lien of any previous encumbrance discharged with funds advanced by Beneficiary under the Loan Documents, regardless of whether such previous encumbrance has been released of record.
9.10 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given by Trustor or Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust shall be in writing and will be deemed given (a) upon personal delivery, (b) on the first business day after receipted delivery to a courier service which guarantees next-business-day delivery, or (c) on the third business day after mailing, by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, in any case to the appropriate party at its address set forth below:

9.11 Defeasance. Upon payment and performance in full of all of the Secured Obligations, Beneficiary will execute and deliver to Trustor such documents as may be required to release this Deed of Trust of record.
9.12 Illegality. If any provision of this Deed of Trust is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Deed of Trust, the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Deed of Trust shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of this Deed of Trust a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable. If the rights and liens created by this Deed of Trust shall be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Secured Obligations, then the unsecured portion of the Secured Obligations shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining and secured portion of the Secured Obligations, and all payments made on the Secured Obligations shall be considered to have been paid on and applied first to the complete payment of the unsecured portion of the Secured Obligations.
9.13 Usury Savings Clause. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Beneficiary and Trustor at all times to comply with the applicable law governing the highest lawful interest rate. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Loan, or if acceleration of the maturity of the Note, any prepayment by Trustor, or any other circumstance whatsoever, results in Trustor having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is the express intent of Trustor and Beneficiary that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Beneficiary be credited on the principal balance of the Note (or, at Beneficiary’s option, paid over to Trustor), and the provisions of the Note and other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced,
38
without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder. The right to accelerate maturity of the Note does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Beneficiary does not intend to collect any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary for the use, forbearance or detention of the Secured Obligations evidenced hereby or by the Note shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Secured Obligations until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such Secured Obligations does not exceed the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted under applicable law. The term “applicable law” as used herein shall mean any federal or state law applicable to the Loan.
9.14 Obligations Binding Upon Trustor’s Successors. This Deed of Trust is binding upon Trustor and Trustor’s successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Beneficiary, and its successors and assigns, and the provisions hereof shall likewise be covenants running with the land. The duties, covenants, conditions, obligations, and warranties of Trustor in this Deed of Trust shall be joint and several obligations of Trustor and Trustor’s successors and assigns.
9.15 Construction. All pronouns and any variations of pronouns herein shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the parties may require. Whenever the terms herein are singular, the same shall be deemed to mean the plural, as the identity of the parties or the context requires.
9.16 Attorneys’ Fees. Any reference in this Deed of Trust to attorneys’ or counsel’s fees paid or incurred by Beneficiary shall be deemed to include paralegals’ fees and legal assistants’ fees. Moreover, wherever provision is made herein for payment of attorneys’ or counsel’s fees or expenses incurred by Beneficiary, such provision shall include but not be limited to, such fees or expenses incurred in any and all judicial, bankruptcy, reorganization, administrative, or other proceedings, including appellate proceedings, whether such fees or expenses arise before proceedings are commenced, during such proceedings or after entry of a final judgment.
9.17 Waiver and Agreement. TRUSTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO PREPAY THE NOTE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WITHOUT CHARGE, FEE OR PENALTY, UPON ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THE NOTE, AND AGREES THAT, IF FOR ANY REASON A PREPAYMENT OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE NOTE IS MADE, WHETHER VOLUNTARILY OR FOLLOWING ANY ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THE NOTE BY BENEFICIARY ON ACCOUNT OF THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT ARISING FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS A RESULT OF ANY PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED TRANSFER, FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE OR DISPOSITION OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF SECURING THE NOTE, OR ANY PROHIBITED DIRECT OR INDIRECT INTEREST IN TRUSTOR, THEN TRUSTOR SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY, CONCURRENTLY WITH SUCH PREPAYMENT, THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM PROVIDED FOR IN THE NOTE (OR, IN THE EVENT OF ACCELERATION WHEN THE
39
NOTE IS CLOSED TO PREPAYMENT, AS PROVIDED IN THE DEFINITION OF “SECURED OBLIGATIONS” SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 1 HEREOF) AND ANY AND ALL OTHER CHARGES AND FEES DUE UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. TRUSTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE UNDER CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 2954.10 WITH RESPECT TO THE FOREGOING. TRUSTOR XXXXXX DECLARES THAT BENEFICIARY’S AGREEMENT TO MAKE THE LOAN AT THE INTEREST RATE AND FOR THE TERM SET FORTH IN THE NOTE CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION, GIVEN INDIVIDUAL WEIGHT BY TRUSTOR, FOR THIS WAIVER AND AGREEMENT.
Trustor’s Initials
9.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. TRUSTOR HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF: (A) THE LOAN OR THE PROPERTY, (B) THE NOTE, THIS DEED OF TRUST, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT BETWEEN TRUSTOR AND BENEFICIARY RELATING TO THE NOTE, THE PROPERTY OR THE LOAN, OR (C) ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN TRUSTOR AND BENEFICIARY RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE NOTE OR THE LOAN. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THAT RELATIONSHIP, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, ANTITRUST CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. TRUSTOR HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS OWN CHOOSING, OR HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO, AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS, OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS DEED OF TRUST, THE NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT WITHOUT A JURY.
9.19 Governing Laws. The substantive laws of the State of California shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement, and interpretation of this Deed of Trust.
9.20 Entire Agreement; Inconsistency. The Loan Documents and the Loan Application constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Trustor and Beneficiary with respect to the Loan and supersede all prior agreements, understandings or negotiations with respect thereto, whether written or oral. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Loan Documents and the terms the Loan Application, the terms of the Loan Documents shall govern and control in all respects.
