3.1 Other Agreements. The execution, delivery and performance by Grantor

party or is obligated.

constitutes, and hereafter will constitute, a security interest of first
priority.
3.3 Title. Grantor is the owner of, and has good title to, the Collateral

3.4 Authority. Grantor has the full power, authority and legal right to
grant to Lender the Security Interest, and no further consent, authorization,

laws affecting the offering and sale of securities.

the State of Delaware and the exact legal name of Grantor is "Xxxx Operating
Partnership II, LP".

Grantor, on written
demand, shall promptly pay all costs and expenses of filing and recording,
including the costs of any searches, deemed necessary by Lender from time to
time to establish and determine the validity and the continuing priority of the
Security Interest.
4.6 Payment of Charges. If Grantor fails to pay any taxes, assessments,
expenses or charges, or fails to keep all of the Collateral free from other
security interests, encumbrances or to perform otherwise as required herein,
Lender may advance the monies necessary to pay the same or to so perform.
5. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
5.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events or
conditions shall constitute an "Event of Default":
(i) Any failure to pay any principal or interest or any other
part of the Secured Obligations when the same shall become due and payable.
(ii) The occurrence of an "Event of Default" under and as
defined in the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.
5.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at any time
while such Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall have the following
rights and remedies and may do one or more of the following:
(i) Declare all or any part of the Secured Obligations to be
immediately due and payable, and the same, with all costs and charges, shall be
collectible thereupon by action at law.
(ii) Without further notice or demand and without legal
process, take possession of the Collateral wherever found and, for this purpose,
enter upon any property occupied by or in the control of Grantor. Grantor, upon
demand by Lender, shall assemble the Collateral and deliver it to Lender or to a
place designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties.
(iii) Pursue any legal or equitable remedy available to
collect the Secured Obligations, to enforce its title in and right to possession
of the Collateral and to enforce any and all other rights or remedies available
to it.
(iv) Upon obtaining possession of the Collateral or any part
thereof, after written notice to Grantor as provided in Section 5.4 hereof, sell
such Collateral at public or private sale either with or without having such
Collateral at the place of sale. The proceeds of such sale, after deducting
therefrom all reasonable expenses of Lender in taking, storing, repairing and
selling the Collateral (including attorneys' fees) shall be applied to the
payment of the Secured Obligations, and any surplus thereafter remaining shall
be paid to Grantor or any other person that may be legally entitled thereto. In
the event of a deficiency between such net proceeds from the sale of the
Collateral and the total amount of the Secured Obligations, Grantor, upon
demand, shall promptly pay the amount of such deficiency to Lender.
5.3 Purchase of Collateral. Lender, so far as may be lawful, may purchase
all or any part of the Collateral offered at any public or private sale made in
the enforcement of Lender's rights and remedies hereunder.
5.4 Notice. Any demand or notice of sale, disposition or other intended
action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the Uniform
Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable and
effective if such demand or notice is given to Grantor at least ten days prior
to such sale, disposition or other intended action, in the manner provided
herein for the giving of notices.
5.5 Costs and Expenses. Grantor shall pay all reasonable costs and
expenses of Lender, including costs of uniform commercial code searches, court
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in enforcing payment
and performance of the Secured Obligations or in exercising the rights and
remedies of Lender hereunder. All such reasonable costs and expenses shall be
secured by this Agreement and by other lien and security documents securing the
Secured Obligations. In the event of any court proceedings, court costs and
attorneys' fees shall be set by the court and not by jury and shall be included
in any judgment obtained by Lender.
5.6 Additional Remedies. In addition to any remedies provided herein for
an Event of Default, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies afforded a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and all other legal and
equitable remedies allowed under applicable law. No failure on the part of
Lender to exercise any of its rights hereunder arising upon any Event of Default
shall be construed to prejudice its rights upon the occurrence of any other or
subsequent Event of Default. No delay on the part of Lender in exercising any
such rights shall be construed to preclude it from the exercise thereof at any
time while that Event of Default is continuing. Lender may enforce any one or
more rights or remedies hereunder successively or concurrently. By accepting
payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations after its due date,
Lender shall not thereby waive the agreement contained herein that time is of
the essence, nor shall Lender waive either its right to require prompt payment
or performance when due of the remainder of the Secured Obligations or its right
to consider the failure to so pay or perform an Event of Default.
6. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
6.1 Power of Attorney. Grantor hereby appoints Lender as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution to do the following:

the Collateral; (ii) to execute, sign and endorse any and all claims,

documents necessary to perfect or continue the Security Interest; provided,
however, that the powers specified in clauses (i) through (iv) may not be

for the Secured Obligations, and the authority hereby conferred is and shall be
irrevocable and shall remain in full force and effect until renounced by Lender.

therefor, reduce the payments thereon, release any person liable for all or any
part thereof, or otherwise change the terms of all or any part of the Secured
Obligations; (ii) take and hold other security for the payment or performance of
the Secured Obligations and enforce, exchange, substitute, subordinate, waive or
release any such security; (iii) join in any extension or subordination
agreement; or (iv) release any part of the Collateral from the Security

(ii) the benefits of any legal or equitable doctrine or principle of
marshalling; (iii) the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting the
enforcement hereof; (iv) demand, diligence, presentment for payment, protest and
demand, and notice of extension, dishonor, protest, demand and nonpayment,
relating to the Secured Obligations; and (v) any benefit of, and any right to
participate in, any other security now or hereafter held by Lender.

and governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to the choice
of law rules of the State of Arizona.

each of which shall be deemed an original, but such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same agreement.

understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof,
supersedes all other prior understandings, oral or written, with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and are intended by Lender and Grantor as the final,
complete and exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by them.
