the
collection of any such taxes, and the law has the effect of imposing payment
of
any Impositions upon Beneficiary, at Beneficiary’s option, the Secured
Indebtedness may be declared by Beneficiary to immediately become due and
payable. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Beneficiary’s
election to accelerate the Loan shall not be effective if (1) Trustor and/or
Operating Lessee as applicable is permitted by law (including, without
limitation, applicable interest rate laws) to, and actually does, pay the
Imposition or the increased portion of the Imposition and (2) Trustor agrees
in
writing to pay or reimburse Beneficiary in accordance with Section 11.6 for
the

necessary to pay the Premiums and Impositions. Trustor will furnish to

amounts paid as Impositions or Premiums shall be deemed to be trust funds and
these funds may be commingled with the general funds of
Beneficiary. If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary shall have
the right, at its election, to apply any amounts held under this Section 2.5
in
reduction of the Secured Indebtedness, or in payment of the Premiums or
Impositions for which the amounts were deposited.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if (i) the insurance required to be maintained hereunder is
provided under a blanket policy approved by Beneficiary, or (ii) Trustor,
Operating Lessee or Manager pay, reserve or set aside funds on a monthly basis
in amounts
10
sufficient
to provide for the payment of all insurance premiums when due (and such funds
need not be segregated or deposited into a specific fund or account),
Beneficiary agrees not to require these deposits unless and until (a) there
has
occurred an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, the Guaranty or the
Indemnity Agreement, (b) Trustor, or a Permitted Transferee or a Pre-Approved
Transferee no longer owns the Property; (c) except for Permitted Interest

coverage of the expiring policy. In the event any of these events
described in clauses (a) through (d) occur Beneficiary reserves the right to
require insurance premiums deposits at any time in its absolute discretion
notwithstanding the fact that the default may be cured, or that the transfer
or
change be approved by Beneficiary.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as Trustor, Operating Lessee or Manager pay, reserve
or
set aside funds on a monthly basis in amounts sufficient to provide for the

under
the Loan Documents, the Guaranty or the Indemnity Agreement, (b) Trustor, or
a
Permitted Transferee, or a Pre-Approved Transferee no longer owns the Property;
or (c) except for Permitted Interest Transfers, there has been a change in
the

(b) Trustor

attorneys’ fees and expenses, and adjusters’ fees (the “Net
Condemnation Proceeds”) to the Restoration.

maintenance, that pertain to or affect the Property or any part of the Property
to the same condition, character and general utility as nearly as possible

a foreclosure action in accordance with the law of the State, or take any other
action as may be allowed, at law or in equity, for the enforcement of the Loan
Documents and realization on the Property or any other security afforded by
the
Loan Documents. In the case of a judicial proceeding, Beneficiary may proceed
to
final judgment and execution for the amount of the Secured Indebtedness owed
as
of the date of the judgment, together with all costs of suit, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and interest on the judgment at the maximum rate permitted by

compliance with applicable law in effect on the date foreclosure is commenced
for the Trustee to sell the Property either as a whole or in separate parcels
as
Beneficiary may determine at public sale or sales to the highest bidder for

separate parcels, Beneficiary may direct the order in which the parcels are
sold. Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser a Trustee’s deed or deeds without

Beneficiary, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, may elect to the payment of
Impositions, operating costs, costs of maintenance, restoration and repairs,
Premiums and other charges, including, but not limited to, costs of leasing
the
Property and fees and costs of counsel and receivers, and in reduction of the
Secured Indebtedness; and/or
(d) Receivership. Have
a receiver appointed to enter into possession of the Property, lease the
Property, collect the Rents and Profits and apply them as the
appropriate court may direct. Beneficiary shall be entitled to the
appointment of a receiver without the necessity of proving either the inadequacy
of the security or the insolvency of Trustor and/or Operating Lessee as
applicable or any of the Liable Party. Trustor and Liable Party shall
be deemed to have consented to the appointment of the receiver. The
collection or receipt of any of
47
the
Rents
and Profits by Beneficiary or any receiver shall not affect or cure any Event
of
Default. Beneficiary’s rights hereunder include its rights
under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 564, as such Section may be

Beneficiary may waive the security of this Deed of Trust as to any parcel of
Real Property that is “environmentally impaired” or is an “affected parcel” (as
such terms are defined in such Section), and as to any Personal Property
attached to such parcel, and thereafter exercise against Trustor, to the extent
permitted by such Section 726.5, the rights and remedies of an unsecured
creditor, including reduction of Beneficiary’s claim against Trustor to
judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted by law. Trustor
and Beneficiary acknowledge that pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 726.5, Beneficiary’s rights under this Section 11.2 are limited to
instances in which Trustor or any affiliate, agent, co-tenant, partner or joint
venturer of Trustor either (i) caused, contributed to, permitted or acquiesced
in the release (as defined in such Section 726.5) or threatened release of
Hazardous Materials, or (ii) had actual knowledge or notice of such release
or
threatened release prior to the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust
and
failed to disclose such release or threatened release to Beneficiary in writing
after Beneficiary’s written request for information concerning the environmental
condition of the Property, unless Beneficiary otherwise obtained actual
knowledge of such release or threatened release prior to the execution and
delivery of this Deed of Trust.
Section
11.3 APPLICATION OF
PROCEEDS OF SALE. In the event of a sale of the Property pursuant
to Section 11.2 of this Deed of Trust, to the extent permitted by law, the
Beneficiary shall determine in its sole discretion the order in which the
proceeds from the sale shall be applied to the payment of the Secured
Indebtedness, including without limitation, the expenses of the sale and of
all
proceedings in connection with the sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses; Impositions, Premiums, liens, and other charges and expenses;
the
outstanding principal balance of the Secured Indebtedness; any accrued interest;
any Prepayment Fee; and any other amounts owed under any of the Loan
Documents.

JURY TRIAL. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, including laws enacted after the Execution Date, Trustor and
Beneficiary HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY in any action,
proceeding and/or hearing on any matter whatsoever arising out of, or in any
way
connected with, the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the Loan Documents,
or
the enforcement of any remedy under any law, statute, or
regulation. Neither party will seek to consolidate any such action in
which a jury has been waived, with any other action in which a jury trial cannot
or has not been waived. Each party has received the advice of counsel
with respect to this waiver.

law.

to
49
appoint another
trustee in the place of Trustee or an successor trustee, by an instrument
recorded in the Official Records of the county or counties where the Property
is
located. The recorded instrument shall be conclusive proof of the proper
substitution and appointment of the successor Trustee without the necessity
of
any conveyance from the predecessor Trustee.

TRUSTOR
AGREEMENTS AND FURTHER ASSURANCES
Section
12.1 PARTICIPATION
AND SALE OF LOAN.
(a) Beneficiary
may, sell, transfer or assign all or any portion of its interest or one or
more
participation interests in the Loan and the Loan Documents at any time and
from
time to time, provided, however, Beneficiary remains the master servicer of
the
Loan. Beneficiary may issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other
securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public
offering or private placement, including depositing the Loan Documents with
a
trust that may issue securities (the “Securities”); provided, however
Beneficiary shall retain its servicing rights in the event of an issuance of
Securities (such issuance of Securities is referred to as a
“Securitization”). Beneficiary shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to provide Trustor thirty (30) days advance notice of any
securitization. Beneficiary may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee,
servicer, participant, investor in such Securities (collectively, the
“Investor”) or any Rating Agency rating such Securities and each prospective
Investor, all documents and information which Beneficiary now has or may
hereafter acquire relating to the Secured Indebtedness and to Trustor or any
Liable Party and the Property, whether furnished by Trustor, any Liable Party
or
otherwise, as Beneficiary determines necessary or desirable. Beneficiary agrees
to use commercially reasonable to maintain the confidentiality of any financial
information with respect to Trustor and/or Liable Party which Trustor advises
Beneficiary is confidential and not publicly available at the time it is
provided to Beneficiary; provided however such obligation to maintain the
confidentiality of such financial
information with respect to Trustor, and/or Liable Party shall terminate if
and
when, through no fault of Beneficiary, the information ceases to be
confidential.
(b) Trustor
and Liable Party will cooperate with Beneficiary and the Rating Agencies in
furnishing such information and providing such other assistance, reports and
legal opinions as Beneficiary may reasonably request in connection with any
such
transaction. In addition, Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary may
release or disclose to potential purchasers or transferees of the Loan, or
potential participants in the Loan, originals or copies of the Loan Documents,
title information, engineering reports, financial statements, operating
statements, appraisals, Leases, rent rolls, and all other materials, documents
and information in Beneficiary’s possession or which Beneficiary is entitled to
receive under the Loan Documents, with respect to the Loan, Trustor, Liable
Party or the Property. Trustor shall also furnish to such Investors or such
prospective Investors or such Rating Agency any and all information concerning
the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of Trustor or any Liable
Party
as may be requested by Beneficiary, any Investor or any prospective Investor
or
any Rating Agency in connection with any sale, transfer or participation
interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustor and Operating Lessee
will not in any event be required to incur, suffer or accept (except to a de
minimis extent) (i) any lesser rights or greater obligations than as currently
set forth in the Loan
50
Documents
and (ii) any expense or any liability in connection with such transfers
described in this Section 12.1.
(c) Beneficiary,
without in any way limiting Beneficiary’s other rights hereunder, in its sole
and absolute discretion, shall have the right to bifurcate the Loan into two
or
more component notes, which notes may be pari passu or senior/subordinate,
provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the notes immediately
following such bifurcation shall equal the outstanding principal balance of
the
Loan and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Loan immediately
following such reallocation shall equal the interest rate which was applicable
to the Loan immediately prior to such bifurcation. Trustor shall
cooperate with all reasonable requests of Beneficiary in order to bifurcate
the
amount of the Loan and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall
reasonably be required by Beneficiary in connection therewith, including,
without limitation, one or more new component notes to replace the original
Note, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, provided
that such documents shall contain terms, provisions and clauses (x) no less
favorable to Trustor than those contained herein and in the Note, and (y) which
do not increase Trustor’s obligations hereunder or decrease Trustor’s rights
under the Loan Documents. If Beneficiary redefines the interest rate,
the amount of interest payable under the modified notes, in the aggregate,
shall
at all times equal the amount of interest which would have been payable under
the Note at the Interest Rate. In the event Trustor fails to execute
and deliver such documents to Beneficiary within fifteen (15) days following
such request by Beneficiary, Trustor hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints
Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its
name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to
effect such transactions, Trustor ratifying all that such attorney shall do
by
virtue thereof.
Section
12.2 REPLACEMENT
OF NOTE. Upon notice to Trustor of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of the Note, Trustor will execute and deliver, in lieu of the
original Note, a replacement note, identical in form and substance to the Note
and dated as of the Execution Date. Upon the execution and delivery
of the replacement note, all references in any of the Loan Documents to the
Note
shall refer to the replacement note.
Section
12.3 TRUSTOR’S
ESTOPPEL. Within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request
by Beneficiary, Trustor shall furnish an acknowledged written statement in
form
satisfactory to Beneficiary (i) setting forth the amount of the Secured
Indebtedness, (ii) stating either that no offsets or defenses exist against
the
Secured Indebtedness, or if any offsets or defenses are alleged to exist, their
nature and extent, (iii) whether any default then exists under the
Loan Documents, the Management Agreement or the Operating Lease or any event
has
occurred and is continuing, which, with the lapse of time, the giving of notice,
or both, would constitute such a default, and (iv) any other matters as
Beneficiary may reasonably request. If Trustor does not furnish an
estoppel certificate within the 10-day period, Trustor appoints Beneficiary
as
its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver the certificate on its behalf,
which
power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable.
Section
12.4 URTHER
ASSURANCES. Trustor shall, without expense to Beneficiary and/or
Trustee, execute, acknowledge and deliver all further acts, deeds,
conveyances, mortgages, deeds of trust, assignments, security agreements, and
financing statements as Beneficiary and/or Trustee shall from time to time
reasonably require, to assure,
51
convey,
assign, transfer and confirm unto Beneficiary and/or Trustee the Property and
rights conveyed or assigned by this Deed of Trust or which Trustor may become
bound to convey or assign to Beneficiary and/or Trustee, or for carrying out
the
intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Deed of Trust
or
any of the other Loan Documents, or for filing, refiling, registering,
reregistering, recording or rerecording this Deed of Trust. If
Trustor fails to comply with the terms of this Section, Beneficiary may, at
Trustor’s expense, perform Trustor’s obligations for and in the name of Trustor,
and Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact
to
do so. The appointment of Beneficiary as attorney-in-fact is coupled with an
interest.
Section
12.5 CO-LENDING. MetLife
is acting for itself and for MetLife Bank as the holders of the MetLife Note
and
the MetLife Bank Note, as servicer (in such capacity, MetLife and any subsequent
servicer of the Loan as evidenced by written notice signed by the holders of
the
MetLife Note and the MetLife Bank Note and all persons with interests therein,
is referred to as the “Servicer”) of the Loan. The Servicer shall act
for Beneficiary for all matters in connection with the Loan, and shall be
authorized to act on behalf of Beneficiary. Trustor shall be entitled
to rely on any actions taken by the Servicer with respect to the Loan Documents,
the Guaranty, the Indemnity Agreement and the
Property. All submissions, approvals and consents made or obtained
from or given by Trustor, or given by Beneficiary, shall be made or obtained
from, or given by, the Servicer, but a copy of all submissions and requests
for
approvals and consents (together with supporting materials) shall be delivered
to the holders of each of the MetLife Note and the MetLife Bank
Note.
Section
12.6 SUBROGATION. Beneficiary
shall be subrogated to the lien of any and all encumbrances against the Property
paid out of the proceeds of the Loan and to all of the rights of the recipient
of such payment.

(THE “U.C.C.”) AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW AND IS FILED AS A FIXTURE
FILING. UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, BENEFICIARY MAY,
AT ITS OPTION, PURSUE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO A SECURED
PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY, AND/OR BENEFICIARY MAY,
AT
ITS OPTION, PROCEED AS TO ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH
BENEFICIARY’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LIEN CREATED BY THIS DEED
OF TRUST. THIS FINANCING STATEMENT SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT AS A
FIXTURE FILING UNTIL THIS DEED OF TRUST IS RELEASED OR SATISFIED OF
RECORD.
52
Section
13.2 REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES.
Trustor
warrants, represents and covenants as follows:
(a) Trustor
and/or Operating Lessee as applicable owns the Personal Property free from
any
lien, security interest, encumbrance or adverse claim, except as otherwise
expressly approved by Beneficiary in writing or as otherwise allowed
hereunder. Trustor will notify Beneficiary of, and will protect,
defend and indemnify Beneficiary against, all claims and demands of all persons
at any time claiming any rights or interest in the Personal Property contrary
to
the preceding sentence.
(b) The
Personal Property has not been used and shall not be used or bought for
personal, family, or household purposes, but shall be bought and used solely
for
the purpose of carrying on the business of Trustor and/or Operating Lessee
as
applicable.
(c) Trustor
and/or Operating Lessee as applicable will not remove the Personal Property
without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, except the items of Personal
Property which are consumed or worn out in ordinary usage shall be promptly
replaced by Trustor and/or Operating Lessee as applicable with other Personal
Property of value equal to or greater than the value of the replaced Personal
Property.
Section
13.3 CHARACTERIZATION
OF PROPERTY. The grant of a security interest to Beneficiary in
this Deed of Trust shall not be construed to limit or impair the lien of this
Deed of Trust or the rights of Beneficiary with respect to any property which
is
real property or which the parties have agreed to treat as real
property. To the fullest extent permitted by law, everything used in
connection with the production of Rents and Profits is, and at all times and
for
all purposes and in all proceedings, both legal and equitable, shall be regarded
as real property, irrespective of whether or not the same is physically attached
to the Land and/or Improvements.
Section
13.4 PROTECTION
AGAINST PURCHASE MONEY SECURITY INTERESTS. It is understood and
agreed that in order to protect Beneficiary from the effect of U.C.C. Section
9313, as amended from time to time and as enacted in the State, in the event
that Trustor and/or Operating Lessee as applicable intends to purchase any
goods
which may become fixtures attached to the Property, or any part of the Property,
and such goods will be subject to a purchase money security interest held by
a
seller or any other party:
(a) Before
executing any security agreement or other document evidencing or perfecting
the
security interest, Trustor and/or Operating Lessee as applicable shall obtain
the prior written approval of Beneficiary. All requests for such written
approval shall be in writing and contain the following information: (i) a
description of the fixtures; (ii) the address at which the fixtures will be
located; and (iii) the name and address of the proposed holder and proposed
amount of the security interest.
(b) Trustor
shall pay all sums and perform all obligations secured by the security
agreement. A default by Trustor under the security
agreement shall constitute a default under this Deed of Trust. If Trustor fails
to make any payment on an obligation secured by a purchase money security
interest in the Personal Property or any fixtures, Beneficiary, at
its
53
option,
may pay the secured amount and Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the rights
of
the holder of the purchase money security interest.
(c) Beneficiary
shall have the right to acquire by assignment from the holder of the security
interest for the Personal Property or fixtures, all contract rights, accounts
receivable, negotiable or non-negotiable instruments, or other evidence of
indebtedness and to enforce the security interest as assignee.
(d) The
provisions of subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 13.4 shall not apply
if
the goods which may become fixtures are of at least equivalent value and quality
as the Personal Property being replaced and if the lien is permitted by Section
10.7(vii) or if the rights of the party holding the security interest are
expressly subordinated to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust
in a manner satisfactory to Beneficiary.
