Borrower shall not:
(a)
except as required by applicable Legal Requirements, construct any building or structure nor make any alteration or addition (other than normal repair and maintenance) to (i) the roof or any structural component of any Improvements on the Premises, or (ii) the building operating systems, including but not limited to, the mechanical, electrical, heating, cooling, or ventilation systems (other than replacement with equal or better quality and capacity), without the prior written consent of Lender not to be unreasonably withheld;
(b)
remove or demolish any material Improvements, or any portion thereof, which at any time constitutes a part of the Premises.
Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, Borrower may construct, remove or demolish tenant improvements within the then existing building(s) or other structures to the extent such work is required solely under the terms of any Leases approved by Lender provided (i) no Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents; (ii) the work is completed on a timely basis, in a good, workmanlike, lien-free manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements, and (iii) such work does not negatively affect the structural integrity of the Improvements or the value of the Premises;

(i)
a Transfer of all or any portion of the Premises or any interest in the Premises;
(ii)
a Transfer of any ownership interest in Borrower or any entity which owns, directly or indirectly, an interest in Borrower at any level of the ownership structure; or
(iii)
in addition to (i) and (ii) above, if the Borrower is a trust, or if a trust owns an interest, directly or indirectly, in any entity which owns an interest in Borrower at any level of the ownership structure, the addition, deletion or substitution of a trustee of such trust.
If any of such events occur, it shall be null and void and shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents.
It is understood and agreed that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note is personal to Borrower and in accepting the same Lender has relied upon what it perceived as the willingness and ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity and as lessor under the Leases of the Premises. Furthermore, Lender may consent to a Transfer and expressly waive Borrower's covenants contained in this paragraph 2(f), in writing to Borrower; however any such consent and waiver shall not constitute any consent or waiver of such covenants as to any Transfer other than that for which the consent and waiver was expressly granted. Furthermore, Lender's willingness to consent to any Transfer and waive Borrower's covenants contained in this paragraph 2(f), implies no standard of reasonableness in determining whether or not such consent shall be granted and the same may be based upon what Lender solely deems to be in its best interest.

If Borrower desires to contest any tax, assessment or charge relating to the Premises, Borrower may do so by paying the same in full, under protest, in the manner provided by law; provided, however, that
(i)
if contest of any tax, assessment or charge may be made without the payment thereof, and
(ii)
such contest shall have the effect of preventing the collection of the tax, assessment or charge so contested and the sale or forfeiture of the Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein to satisfy the same,
then Borrower may in its discretion and upon the giving of written notice to Lender of its intended action and upon the furnishing to Lender of such security or bond as Lender may require, contest any such tax, assessment or charge in good faith and in the manner provided by law. All costs and
expenses incidental to such contest shall be paid by Borrower. In the event of a ruling or adjudication adverse to Borrower, Borrower shall promptly pay such tax, assessment or charge.

4.
(a)
Borrower shall at all times keep or cause to be kept in force (i) property insurance insuring all Improvements which now are or hereafter become a part of the Premises for perils covered by a causes of loss-special form insurance policy, including coverage against terrorism and containing replacement cost, ordinance and law and agreed amount endorsements or equivalent coverage; (ii) commercial general liability insurance naming Lender as an additional insured protecting Borrower and Lender against liability for bodily injury or property damage occurring in, on or adjacent to the Premises, with a combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence with not less than a Two Million Dollar ($2,000,000) aggregate limit and excess umbrella liability insurance of not less than Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000); (iii) boiler and machinery insurance if the property has a boiler or is an office building; (iv) rental value insurance for the perils specified herein for one hundred percent (100%) of the Rents (including operating expenses, real estate taxes, assessments and insurance costs which are lessee's liability) for a period of twelve (12) months; (v) builders risk insurance during all periods of construction; and (vi) insurance against all other hazards as may be reasonably required by Lender, including, without limitation, insurance against loss or damage by flood.

The policies for such insurance shall have attached thereto standard mortgagee clauses in favor of and permitting Lender to collect any and all proceeds payable thereunder and shall include a 30 day (except for nonpayment of premium, in which case, a 10 day) notice of cancellation clause in favor of Lender. All certificates of insurance (or duplicate originals of policies if requested by Lender) shall be delivered to and held by Lender as further security for the payment of the Note and any other obligations arising under the Loan Documents, with evidence of renewal coverage delivered to Lender at least 30 days before the expiration date of
any policy. Borrower shall not carry or permit to be carried separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form and contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required in the Loan Documents.
5.
(a)
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall deposit with and pay to Lender, on each payment date specified in the Note, sums calculated by Lender for payment of the following as they become due and payable: (i) the estimated taxes and assessments assessed or levied against the Premises, and (ii) the estimated premiums for insurance required by the Loan Documents, excluding commercial general liability insurance. Lender shall use such deposits to pay the taxes, assessments and premiums when the same become due. Borrower shall procure and deliver to Lender, in advance, statements for such charges. If the total payments made by Borrower under this paragraph exceed the amount of payments actually made by Lender for taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, such excess shall be credited by Lender on subsequent deposits to be made by Borrower. If, however, the deposits are insufficient to pay the taxes, assessments and insurance premiums when the same shall be due and payable, Borrower will pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency, five (5) business days before the date when payment of such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums shall be due. If at any time Borrower shall tender to Lender, in accordance with the provisions of the Note secured by this Deed of Trust, full payment of the entire Indebtedness represented thereby, Lender shall, in computing the amount of such Indebtedness, credit to the account of Borrower any balance remaining in the funds accumulated and held by Lender under the provisions of this paragraph. If there is an Event of Default resulting in a public sale of the Premises, or if Lender otherwise acquires the Premises after an Event of Default, Lender shall apply, at the time of commencement of such proceedings, or at the time the Premises is otherwise acquired, the balance then remaining in the funds accumulated under this paragraph as a credit toward any delinquent or accrued taxes and then in such priority as Lender elects to the other Indebtedness.
(b)
Any funds held under this paragraph shall not constitute any deposit or account of the Borrower or moneys to which the Borrower is entitled upon demand, or upon the mere passage of time. Lender shall not be required to segregate such deposits and may hold such deposits in its general account or any other account and may commingle such deposits with any other moneys of Lender or moneys which Lender is holding on behalf of any other person or entity.
6.
In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Premises, or any part thereof:
(a)
Borrower will immediately notify Lender thereof in the manner provided in this Deed of Trust for the giving of notices. Lender shall have the right (which may be waived by Lender in writing) to settle and adjust any claim under such insurance policies required to be maintained by Borrower. In all circumstances, the proceeds thereof shall be paid to Lender and Lender is authorized to collect and to give receipts therefor. Borrower agrees and acknowledges that such proceeds shall be held by Lender without any allowance of interest and that in any bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower, all such proceeds shall be deemed to be "Cash Collateral" as that term is defined in Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Provided that no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall have the right to participate in any settlement or adjustment; provided, however, that any settlement or adjustment where the aggregate amount of such proceeds equals or exceeds $500,000 shall be subject to the written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld.
(b)
Such proceeds, after deducting therefrom any reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in the collection thereof (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), shall be applied by Lender to pay the Indebtedness secured hereby including, but not limited to the Make Whole Premium, whether or not then due and payable, provided, however, that if no Event of Default exists at the time of such application or the application occurs during the Open Period, no Make Whole Premium shall be due.
Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary,
(i)
in the event the casualty occurs more than three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall apply such proceeds as follows:
(A)
If the aggregate amount of such proceeds is less than $500,000, Lender shall pay such proceeds directly to Borrower, to be held in trust for Lender and applied to the cost of rebuilding and restoring the Premises.
(B)
If the aggregate amount of such proceeds equals or exceeds $500,000 Lender shall disburse such amounts of the proceeds as Lender reasonably deems necessary for the repair or replacement of the Premises, subject to the conditions set forth in 6(c) below.
(ii)
in the event (x) an Event of Default exists, or (y) the casualty occurs during the last three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date and Lender determines that the repair and restoration of such casualty cannot be completed prior to the Maturity Date, or (z) the
conditions set forth in 6(c) are not met, then Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion may either:
(A)
declare the entire Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, provided, however, that if no Event of Default exists or the loan term is in the Open Period, no Make Whole Premium shall be due. All proceeds shall be applied toward payment of the Indebtedness in such priority as Lender elects; or
(B)
disburse such proceeds as Lender reasonably deems necessary for the repair or replacement of the Premises subject to those conditions set forth in 6(c) which Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may require.
(c)
(i)
In the event that Borrower is to be reimbursed out of the insurance proceeds or out of any award or payment received with respect to a Taking, Lender shall from time to time make available such proceeds, subject to the following conditions: (a) there continues to exist no Event of Default; (b) the delivery to Lender of satisfactory evidence of the estimated cost of completion of such repair and restoration work and any architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements, and other evidence of cost and of payment and of the continued priority of the lien hereof over any potential liens of mechanics and materialmen (including, without limitation, title policy endorsements) as Lender may reasonably require and approve; (c) the time required to complete the repair and restoration work and for the income from the Premises to return to the level it was prior to the loss will not exceed the coverage period of the rental value insurance required hereunder; (d) the annual net operating income shall equal or exceed 1.20 times the annual debt service on the Note. Only net operating income from approved executed Leases in effect on the Premises, with no uncured defaults, shall be used in Lender's determination of the annual net operating income; (e) Lender approves the plans and specifications of such work before such work is commenced if the estimated cost of rebuilding and restoration exceeds 25% of the Indebtedness or involves any structural changes or modifications, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; (f) if the amount of any insurance proceeds, award or other payment is insufficient to cover the cost of restoring and rebuilding the Premises, Borrower shall pay such cost in excess of such proceeds, award or other payment before being entitled to reimbursement out of such funds; (g) Borrower pays to Lender a non-refundable processing fee equal to the greater of $5,000.00 or .25% of the
amount of such proceeds within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of any such damage or destruction and before Lender disburses any proceeds; and (h) such other conditions to such disbursements, in Lender's reasonable discretion, as would be customarily required by a construction lender doing business in the area where the Premises is located or which are otherwise required by any rating agency rating a securitization transaction with respect to the Loan.
(ii)
No payment made by Lender prior to the final completion of the repair or restoration work shall, together with all payments theretofore made, exceed 90% of the cost of such work performed to the time of payment, and at all times the undisbursed balance of said proceeds shall be at least sufficient to pay for the cost of completion of such work free and clear of all liens. Any proceeds remaining after payment of the cost of rebuilding and restoration shall be paid to Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(iii)
Repair and restoration of the Premises shall be commenced promptly after the occurrence of the loss and shall be prosecuted to completion diligently, and the Premises shall be so restored and rebuilt to substantially the same character and quality as prior to such damage and destruction and shall comply with all Legal Requirements.
(d)
Should such damage or destruction occur after foreclosure or sale proceedings have been instituted, the proceeds of any such insurance policy or policies, if not applied in rebuilding or restoration of the Improvements, shall be used to pay (i) the Indebtedness then due and owing in the event of a non-judicial sale in such priority as Lender elects, or (ii) the amount due in accordance with any decree of foreclosure or deficiency judgment that may be entered in connection with such proceedings, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the owner of the equity of redemption if it shall then be entitled to the same, or otherwise as any court having jurisdiction may direct.
7.
In the event of the commencement of a Taking affecting the Premises:
(a)
Borrower shall notify Lender thereof in the manner provided in this Deed of Trust for the giving of notices. Lender may participate in such proceeding, and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all documents requested by it to permit such participation.
(b)
Borrower shall cause the proceeds of any award or other payment made relating to a Taking, to be paid directly to Lender. Lender, in its sole and
absolute discretion: (i) may apply all such proceeds to pay the Indebtedness in such priority as Lender elects, provided however, that if no Event of Default exists at the time of such application no Make Whole Premium shall be due; or (ii) subject to and in accordance with the provisions set forth in paragraph 6(c) above, may disburse such amounts of the proceeds as Lender reasonably deems necessary for the repair or replacement of the Premises.
Notwithstanding anything herein above to the contrary, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender agrees to disburse the proceeds received from any Inconsequential Taking, as hereinafter defined, to Borrower for the repair and/or replacement of the Premises. An Inconsequential Taking shall be a Taking which (i) results in less than $100,000 in proceeds; (ii) does not, in Lender's determination, materially or adversely affect the Improvements, parking, access, ingress, egress or use of the Premises; and (iii) does not trigger any rights or options of tenants under the Leases.
8.
If by the laws of the United States of America or of any state or governmental subdivision having jurisdiction over Borrower or of the Premises or of the Loan evidenced by the Loan Documents or any amendments or modifications thereof, any tax or fee is due or becomes due or is imposed upon Lender in respect of the issuance of the Note hereby secured or the making, recording and registration of this Deed of Trust or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity or the Loan, except for Lender's income or franchise tax, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay such tax or fee in the manner required by such law, and to hold harmless and indemnify Trustee and Lender, their successors and assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition of any such tax or fee.
9.
(a)
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, but need not, make any payment or perform any act herein required of Borrower, in any form and manner deemed expedient and may, but need not, make full or partial payments of principal or interest on prior encumbrances, if any, and purchase, discharge, compromise or settle any tax lien or other prior lien or title or claim thereof, or redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture affecting said Premises, or contest any tax or assessment. All moneys paid for any of the purposes herein authorized and all reasonable expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs on appeal, and any other money advanced by Lender to protect the Premises and the lien hereof, shall be so much additional Indebtedness secured hereby and shall become immediately due and payable without notice and with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure or advance until paid.
(b)
In making any payment hereby authorized relating to taxes or assessments or for the purchase, discharge, compromise or settlement of any prior lien, Lender may make such payment according to any xxxx, statement or estimate secured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy thereof or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof or without inquiry as to the validity or amount of any claim for lien which may be asserted.
10.
If one or more of the following events (herein called an "Event of Default" or "Events of Default" as the context so requires) shall have occurred:
(a)

(c)
one or more of the items set forth in paragraph 10(b) above occur which were either not (i) voluntarily brought by Borrower, Interest Owner or any guarantor or (ii) acquiesced in by Borrower, Interest Owner or any guarantor, and which are not discharged or dismissed within 90 days after the action, filing or appointment, as the case may be; or
With respect to the matters in (b) and (c) above for an Interest Owner only, no Event of Default shall occur until an interested party or Interest Owner asserts a claim or right against Borrower or the Premises which delays or otherwise affects Lender's rights, remedies, or interests granted under the Loan Documents (whether or not such assertion is successful).
(d)
with respect to the matters not described in the other subparagraphs of this paragraph 10, failure to duly observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement of the Borrower or any guarantor contained in this Deed of
Trust, the Guaranty, the Note or the Assignment of Leases from Borrower to Lender or in any other instrument or agreement which evidences or secures the Loan (the "Loan Documents"), or in the Environmental Indemnity, and such failure shall have continued for 30 days after Notice specifying such failure is given by Lender to Borrower; or
If any failure to observe or perform under (d) above shall be of such nature that it cannot be cured or remedied within 30 days, Borrower shall be entitled to a reasonable period of time to cure or remedy such failure (not to exceed 90 days following the giving of Notice), provided Borrower commences the cure or remedy thereof within the 30 day period following the giving of Notice and thereafter proceeds with diligence, as determined by Lender, to complete such cure or remedy.
With respect to the matters in (d), no Event of Default shall occur if the failure to observe or perform will not have a Material Adverse Effect as such term is defined below.
"Material Adverse Effect" means a material adverse effect upon (i) the business or the financial position or results of operation of Borrower, (ii) the ability of Borrower to perform, or of Lender to enforce, any of the Loan Documents or Environmental Indemnity or (iii) the value of (x) the Collateral taken as a whole or (y) the Premises.
(e)
the failure of Borrower to duly observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions and agreements of the Borrower contained in paragraph 2(f) of this Deed of Trust and to cure such failure within ten (10) days following Borrower’s receipt of Notice of such failure; provided, however, that Borrower shall only be granted said 10 day cure period if the failure to observe or perform is a curable event and the granting of said cure period will not have a Material Adverse Effect; or
(f)
any representation when made by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner or any guarantor regarding the Premises, the making or delivery of any of the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity or in any material written information provided by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner or any guarantor in connection with the Loan shall prove to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect; or
(g)

subject to the provisions of paragraph 2(f), the failure of Borrower to provide Lender with an assumption agreement in form and substance and executed by a person(s) or entity(ies) acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion to assume the obligations of any deceased individual who is personally liable for any obligation under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, as Borrower, indemnitor or guarantor, whether or not such individual had executed the Note or this Deed of Trust, and such failure shall have continued for 90 days after the death of such individual; or
then, in each and every such case, the whole of said principal sum hereby secured shall, at the option of the Lender and without further notice to Borrower, become immediately due and payable together with accrued interest thereon, a Make Whole Premium calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents and all other Indebtedness, and whether or not Lender has exercised said option, interest shall accrue on the entire principal balance and any interest or Make Whole Premium or other Indebtedness then due, at the Default Rate until fully paid or if Lender has not exercised said option, for the duration of any Event of Default.
11.
Borrower agrees that if Lender accelerates the whole or any part of the principal sum hereby secured after the occurrence of an Event of Default but outside of the Open Periods, that Borrower shall pay as yield maintenance protection and not as a penalty, a "Make Whole Premium", as defined in the Note.

Borrower, in accordance with the provisions of the General Laws of the State of Maryland, the Maryland Rules of Procedure, or any other general or local laws of the State of Maryland relating to mortgages and deeds of trusts, including any amendments, supplements, or additions thereto, does hereby: (1) declare his assent to the passing of a decree for the sale of the Premises at any time after the recording of this Deed of Trust, such sale to take place after a default has occurred in any of the covenants and conditions of this Deed of Trust, as herein provided; (2) authorize the Trustees or its duly authorized attorney, after any such default shall have occurred, to sell the Premises. Such sale may be of the Premises as a whole and it shall not be the duty of the party selling to sell the same in parts or in lots but such party may do so. The sale shall be made after publishing notice of time, place and terms of sale at least once a week for three (3) successive weeks, the first publication shall be given not less than 15 days prior to sale and the last publication not more than one (1) week prior to sale, in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the foreclosure action is pending. The party selling shall also give such other notice as required by law and as he may deem expedient; and the terms of
the sale may be all cash on ratification of the sale or such other terms as the party selling may deem expedient.
(b)
Trustee may postpone such sale from time to time by giving notice of such postponement in the same manner in which any original notice of sale was given or by an announcement or proclamation made to the persons assembled at the time and place previously appointed and noticed for such sale or postponed sale, and on the date of such sale or the date to which such sale may have been postponed Trustee may sell the Premises to the highest bidder. Lender or its agents may bid and purchase at such sale. Trustee in conducting said sale may act either in person or through the agency of an auctioneer and may establish as one of the conditions of such sale that all bids and payments for said Premises be made in cash. In addition to the foregoing, the Trustee is hereby authorized to disclose in any public notice of sale that such sale of the Premises shall be made subject to one or more of the tenancies entered into subsequent to the recording of this Deed of Trust, or otherwise subordinated thereto, in accordance with the provisions of Maryland Annotated Code Real Property Section 7 - 105(f)(2), as may be amended from time to time.
13.
Upon such sale, Trustee shall make, execute, and after due payment is made, deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a deed or deeds for the Premises or part thereof sold. On any sale of the Premises hereunder, whether under the above assent to a decree or under the above power of sale or otherwise, the proceeds of sale shall be applied as follows: first to the payment of all expenses incident to the sale, including attorneys' fees and costs rendered to the Trustee in connection with its duties hereunder and any commission due any auctioneer which calls the sale (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law or rule); and also a commission to the party making the sale equal to the greater of (i) 5% of the successful bid amount, or (ii) the commission allowed Trustees for making sales of property under a decree of court of equity in the State of Maryland; second, to the payment of all claims of Lender hereunder, whether the same shall have been matured or not including interest thereon until final ratification of the auditor's report; and third, the balance, if any, to Borrower. It is agreed that half of the above commissions and all of the above costs and expenses shall be paid by Borrower in the event the mortgage debt is paid in full after any advertisement of the Premises but before any sale thereof.
14.
In the event of such a sale of the Premises or any part thereof and the execution of a deed or deeds therefor under these trusts, any recital therein of the occurrence of an Event of Default or of the giving or recording of any notice or demand by Trustee or Lender regarding such sale shall be conclusive proof thereof, and the receipt of the purchase money recited therein shall fully discharge the purchaser
from any obligation for the proper application of the proceeds of sale in accordance with these trusts.
15.
Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, unless the same has been specifically waived in writing, Borrower shall forthwith upon demand of Trustee or Lender surrender to Lender possession of the Premises, and Lender shall be entitled to take actual possession of the Premises or any part thereof personally or by its agents or attorneys, and Lender in its discretion may, with or without force and with or without process of law, enter upon and take and maintain possession of all or any part of the Premises together with all documents, books, records, papers and accounts of the Borrower or the then owner of the Premises relating thereto, and may exclude Borrower, its agents or assigns wholly therefrom, and may as attorney-in-fact or agent of the Borrower, or in its own name as Lender and under the powers herein granted:
(a)
hold, operate, maintain, repair, rebuild, replace, alter, improve, manage or control the Premises as it deems judicious, insure and reinsure the same and any risks related to Lender's possession, operation and management thereof and receive all Rents, either personally or by its agents, and with full power to use such measures, legal or equitable, as in its discretion it deems proper or necessary to enforce the payment or security of the Rents, including actions for the recovery of Rent, actions in forcible detainer and actions in distress for Rents, hereby granting full power and authority to exercise each and every of the rights, privileges and powers herein granted at any and all times hereafter, without notice to Borrower; and
(b)
conduct leasing activity pursuant to the provisions of the Assignment of Leases.
Neither Trustee nor Lender shall be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does either hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease. Except to the extent that the same is caused solely by Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct, should Trustee or Lender incur any liability, loss or damage under any Leases, or under or by reason of the Assignment of Leases, or in the defense of any claims or demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender or Trustee by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements in any Lease, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs on appeal, shall be added to the Indebtedness and secured hereby.
16.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Trustee and Lender in the exercise of the rights and powers conferred upon them shall have the full power to use and apply the Rents, less costs and expenses of collection to the payment of or on
account of the items listed in (a) - (c) below, at the election of Lender and in such order as Lender may determine as follows:
(a)
to the payment of (i) the expenses of operating and maintaining the Premises, including, but not limited to the cost of management, leasing (which shall include reasonable compensation to Trustee, Lender and their respective agent or agents if management and/or leasing is delegated to an agent or agents), repairing, rebuilding, replacing, altering and improving the Premises, (ii) premiums on insurance as hereinabove authorized, (iii) taxes and special assessments now due or which may hereafter become due on the Premises, and (iv) expenses of placing the Premises in such condition as will, in the sole judgment of Lender, make it readily rentable;
(b)
to the payment of any principal, interest or any other Indebtedness secured hereby or any deficiency which may result from any foreclosure sale;
(c)
to the payment of established claims for damages, if any, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs on appeal.
The manner of the application of Rents, the reasonableness of the costs and charges to which such Rents are applied and the item or items which shall be credited thereby shall be within the sole and unlimited discretion of Lender. To the extent that the costs and expenses in (a) and (c) above exceed the amounts collected, the excess shall be added to the Indebtedness and secured hereby.
17.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, unless the same has been specifically waived in writing, Lender may apply to any court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of the Premises. Such appointment may be made either before or after sale, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Borrower at the time of application for such receiver and without regard to the then value of the Premises or the adequacy of Lender's security. Lender may be appointed as such receiver. The receiver shall have power to collect the Rents during the pendency of any foreclosure proceedings and, in case of a sale, during the full statutory period of redemption, if any, as well as during any further times when Borrower, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collect such Rents. In addition, the receiver shall have all other powers which shall be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Premises during the whole of said period. The court from time to time may authorize the receiver to apply the net income in its possession at Lender's election and in such order as Lender may determine in payment in full or in part of those items listed in paragraph 16.
18.
(a)
Borrower agrees that all reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred or
expended by Trustee or Lender arising out of or in connection with any action, proceeding or hearing, legal, equitable or quasi-legal, including the preparation therefor and any appeal therefrom, in any way affecting or pertaining to the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity, or the Premises, shall be promptly paid by Borrower. All such sums not promptly paid by Borrower shall be added to the Indebtedness secured hereby and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of such advance and shall be due and payable on demand.
(b)
Borrower hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the principal sum secured hereby pursuant to this Deed of Trust, to the full extent that such rights can be lawfully waived, Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to insist upon, plead, or in any manner take advantage of, any notice of acceleration, any stay, extension, exemption, homestead, marshaling or moratorium law or any law providing for the valuation or appraisement of all or any part of the Premises prior to any sale or sales thereof under any provision of this Deed of Trust or before or after any decree, judgment or order of any court or confirmation thereof, or claim or exercise any right to redeem all or any part of the Premises so sold and hereby expressly waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law on behalf of itself and each and every person or entity acquiring any right, title or interest in or to all or any part of the Premises, all benefit and advantage of any such laws which would otherwise be available to Borrower or any such person or entity, and agrees that neither Borrower nor any such person or entity will invoke or utilize any such law to otherwise hinder, delay or impede the exercise of any remedy granted or delegated to Lender herein but will permit the exercise of such remedy as though any such laws had not been enacted. Borrower hereby further expressly waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law on behalf of itself and each and every person or entity acquiring any right, title or interest in or to all or any part of the Premises any and all rights of redemption from any sale or any order or decree of foreclosure obtained pursuant to provisions of this Deed of Trust.
19.
In accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Assignment of Leases, Borrower hereby assigns to Lender directly and absolutely, and not merely collaterally, the interest of Borrower as lessor under the Leases of the Premises, and the Rents payable under any Lease and/or with respect to the use of the Premises, or portion thereof, including any oil, gas or mineral lease, or any installments of money payable pursuant to any agreement or any sale of the Premises or any part thereof, subject only to a license, if any, granted by Lender to Borrower with respect thereto prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default. Borrower has executed and delivered the Assignment of Leases which grants to Lender specific rights and remedies in respect of said Leases and governs the
collection of Rents thereunder and from the use of the Premises, and such rights and remedies so granted shall be cumulative of those granted herein.
The collection of such Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice, except to the extent any such Event of Default is fully cured. Failure or discontinuance of Lender at any time, or from time to time, to collect any such moneys shall not impair in any manner the subsequent enforcement by Lender of the right, power and authority herein conferred on Lender. Nothing contained herein, including the exercise of any right, power or authority herein granted to Lender, shall be, or be construed to be, an affirmation by Lender of any tenancy, Lease or option, or right to possession otherwise, or an assumption of liability under, or the subordination of the lien or charge of this Deed of Trust to any such tenancy, Lease or option or right to possession otherwise. Borrower hereby agrees that, in the event Lender exercises its rights as provided for in this paragraph or in the Assignment of Leases, Borrower waives any right to compensation for the use of Borrower's furniture, furnishings or equipment in the Premises for the period such assignment of rents or receivership is in effect, it being understood that the Rents derived from the use of any such items shall be applied to Borrower's obligations hereunder as above provided.
20.
All rights and remedies granted to Trustee or Lender in the Loan Documents shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any rights and remedies to which it is entitled in equity, at law or by statute, and the invalidity of any right or remedy herein provided by reason of its conflict with applicable law or statute shall not affect any other valid right or remedy afforded to Trustee or Lender. No waiver of any default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall at any time thereafter be held to be a waiver of any rights of the Trustee or Lender hereunder, nor shall any waiver of a prior Event of Default or default operate to waive any subsequent Event of Default or default. All remedies provided for in the Loan Documents are cumulative and may, at the election of Lender, be exercised alternatively, successively or concurrently. No act of Trustee or Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision or to proceed against one portion of the Premises to the exclusion of any other portion. Time is of the essence under this Deed of Trust and the Loan Documents.
21.
By accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Lender does not waive its right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums or installments so secured or to declare a default for failure to pay such other sums or installments.
22.
The usury provisions of paragraph 6 of the Note and the liability provisions of paragraph 9 of the Note are fully incorporated herein by reference as if the same were specifically stated here.
23.
In the event one or more provisions of the Loan Documents shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the Loan Documents shall be construed as if any such provision had never been contained herein.
24.
If the payment of the Indebtedness secured hereby or of any part thereof shall be extended or varied, or if any part of the security be released, all persons now or at any time hereafter liable therefor, or interested in said Premises, shall be held to assent to such extension, variation or release, and their liability and the lien and all provisions hereof shall continue in full force, the right of recourse against all such persons being expressly reserved by Lender notwithstanding such variation or release.
25.
Upon payment in full of the principal sum, interest and other Indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents, these presents shall be null and void, and Trustee shall release this Deed of Trust and the lien hereof by proper instrument executed in recordable form.
26.
(a)
Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its respective agents, attorneys, employees, consultants, contractors and assigns an irrevocable license and authorization to enter upon and inspect the Premises and all facilities located thereon at reasonable times.
(b)
In connection with any sale or conveyance of this Deed of Trust, Borrower grants to Lender and its respective agents, attorneys, employees, consultants, contractors and assigns an irrevocable license and authorization to conduct, at Lender's expense, a Phase I environmental audit of the Premises.
(c)
In the event there has been an Event of Default or in the event Lender has formed a reasonable belief, based on its inspection of the Premises or other factors known to it, that Hazardous Materials may be present on the Premises, then Borrower grants to Lender and its respective agents, attorneys, employees, consultants, contractors and assigns an irrevocable license and authorization to conduct environmental tests of the Premises, including without limitation, a Phase I environmental audit, subsurface testing, soil and ground water testing, and other tests which may physically invade the Premises or facilities (the "Tests"). The scope of the Tests shall be such as Lender, in its sole but reasonable discretion, determines is necessary to (i) investigate the condition of the Premises, (ii) protect the security interests created under this Deed of Trust, or (iii) determine compliance with Environmental Laws, the provisions of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity and other matters relating
thereto. Borrower shall pay the reasonable costs of the Tests and upon Borrower’s request, Lender will make available to Borrower the result of the Tests.
(d)
Provided no Event of Default has occurred, Lender will provide Borrower with reasonable notice of Lender's intent to enter, inspect and conduct the Tests provided for in this paragraph. In addition, Lender shall conduct such inspections and Tests during normal business hours and use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of lessees' business operations.
The foregoing licenses and authorizations are intended to be a means of protection of Lender's security interest in the Premises and not as participation in the management of the Premises.
27.
Within 15 days after any written request by any party to this Deed of Trust, the requested party shall certify, by a written statement duly acknowledged, the amount of principal, interest and other Indebtedness then owing on the Note, the terms of payment, Maturity Date and the date to which interest has been paid. Borrower shall further certify whether any defaults, offsets or defenses exist against the Indebtedness secured hereby.
28.
(a)
Borrower shall furnish to Lender within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, a statement of income and expenses for Borrower’s operation of the Premises for that fiscal year, a statement of changes in financial position of Borrower relating to the Premises for that fiscal year and, when requested by Lender, a balance sheet showing all assets and liabilities of Borrower relating to the Premises as of the end of that fiscal year;
(b)
Borrower shall furnish to Lender within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, and at any other time upon Lender’s request, a rent schedule for the Premises showing the name of each tenant, and for each tenant, the space occupied, the lease expiration date, the rent payable for the current month, the date through which rent has been paid, and any related information requested by Lender;
(c)
Borrower shall furnish to Lender within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, and at any other time upon Lender’s request, an accounting of all security deposits held pursuant to all Leases, including the name of the institution (if any) and the names and identification numbers of the accounts (if any) in which such security deposits are held and the name of the person to contact at such financial institution, along with any authority or release necessary for Lender to access information regarding such accounts;
(d)
upon Lender’s request, a balance sheet, a statement of income and expenses for Borrower, a statement of changes in financial position of Borrower for Borrower’s most recent fiscal year, an aged account receivables report and an annual budget; and
(e)
if required by Lender, a statement of income and expense for the Premises for the prior month or quarter.
(f)
Each of the statements, schedules and reports required by Section 28 shall be certified to be complete and accurate by an individual having authority to bind Borrower, and shall be in such form and contain such detail as Lender may reasonably required. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may require that the financial statements required by Sections 28(a), 28(b) and 28(c) be audited, but may not require that any other financial statements required by Section 28 be audited. Certification of a statement by the chief financial officer of the entity that is the subject of the statement or, in the case of a partnership, the chief financial officer of the general partner, will be acceptable to Lender as certification by an individual having authority to bind Borrower.
29.
Each notice, consent, request, report or other communication under this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document (each a "Notice") which any party hereto may desire or be required to give to the other shall be deemed to be an adequate and sufficient notice if given in writing and service is made by either (i) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, in which case notice shall be deemed to have been received three (3) business days following deposit to U.S. mail; or (ii) nationally recognized overnight air courier, next day delivery, prepaid, in which case such notice shall be deemed to have been received one (1) business day following delivery to such nationally recognized overnight air courier. All Notices shall be addressed to Borrower at its address given on the first page hereof, or to Lender at c/o Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx 00000-0000, Attn: Commercial Real Estate Servicing, Loan No. 755500, or to such other place as any party may by written notice to the other parties hereafter designate as a place for service of notice. Borrower shall not be permitted to designate more than one place for service of Notice concurrently.
30.
Lender, from time to time, may substitute another Trustee in place of the Trustee named herein, to execute the trusts hereby created; and upon such appointment, and without conveyance to the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall be vested with all the title, interest, powers, duties and trusts in the Premises hereby vested in or conferred upon Trustee herein named. Each such appointment and substitution shall be made by written instrument executed by the Lender containing reference to this Deed of Trust sufficient to identify it, which instrument, when recorded in the office of the County Recorder of the county or counties in which the Premises is situated, shall be conclusive proof of proper
appointment of the successor trustee. The recital or statement, in any instrument executed by Trustee in pursuance of any of said trusts, of the due authorization of any agent of the Trustee executing the same shall for all purposes be conclusive proof of such authorization.
31.
Trustee at any time, at Trustee's option, may commence and maintain suit in any court of competent jurisdiction and obtain the aid and direction of said court in the execution by it of the trusts or any of them, herein expressed or contained, and, in such suit, may obtain the orders or decrees, interlocutory or final of said court directing the execution of said trusts, and confirming and approving Trustee's acts, or any of them, or any sales or conveyances made by Trustee, and adjudging the validity thereof, and directing that the purchasers of the property sold and conveyed be let into immediate possession thereof, and providing for orders of court or other process requiring the Sheriff of the county in which said property is situated to place and maintain said purchasers in quiet and peaceable possession of the property so purchased by them, and the whole thereof.
32.
Borrower has had the opportunity to fully negotiate the terms hereof and modify the draftsmanship of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity. Therefore, the terms of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity shall be construed and interpreted without any presumption, inference, or rule requiring construction or interpretation of any provision of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity against the interest of the party causing the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity or any portion of it to be drafted. Borrower is entering into the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity freely and voluntarily without any duress, economic or otherwise.
33.
Borrower, forthwith upon request, at any and all times hereafter, at the expense of Borrower, will cause to be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered to Trustee, any and every deed or assurance in law which Trustee or counsel of Trustee shall reasonably advise or require for the more sure, effectual and satisfactory granting and confirming of said Premises unto Trustee.
34.
Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for its acts or omissions hereunder, except for Trustee's own gross negligence or willful default, or be liable or responsible for any acts or omissions of any agent, attorneys or employee by him employed hereunder, if selected with reasonable care.
35.
Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of Trust executed and acknowledged is made a public record as provided by law. Trustee is not obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other deed of trust or of any action or proceeding in which Borrower, Lender, or Trustee shall be a party unless brought by Trustee.
36.
This Deed of Trust and all provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of Lender and shall bind the heirs and permitted successors and assigns of Borrower.
37.
This Deed of Trust shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of California, without regard to its conflicts of law principles.
38.
As used herein, the term "Default Rate" means a rate equal to the lesser of (i) four percent (4%) per annum above the then applicable interest rate payable under the Note or (ii) the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
39.
BORROWER AND LENDER EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTIONS BROUGHT BY BORROWER, TRUSTEE OR LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS DEED OF TRUST, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE INDEBTEDNESS SECURED HEREBY, OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF LENDER.
40.
This Deed of Trust and the Indebtedness secured hereby is for the sole purpose of conducting or acquiring a lawful business, professional or commercial activity or for the acquisition or management of real or personal property as a commercial investment, and all proceeds of such Indebtedness shall be used for said business or commercial investment purpose. Such proceeds will not be used for the purchase of any security within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any regulation issued pursuant thereto, including without limitation, Regulations U, T and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This is not a purchase money deed of trust where a seller is providing financing to a buyer for the payment of all or any portion of the purchase price, and the Premises secured hereby is not a residence or homestead or used for mining, grazing, agricultural, timber or farming purposes.
41.
Unless Lender shall otherwise direct in writing, Borrower shall appear in and defend all actions or proceedings purporting to affect the security hereunder, or any right or power of the Lender. The Lender shall have the right to appear in such actions or proceedings. Borrower shall save Lender harmless from all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, and costs of a title search, continuation of abstract and preparation of survey incurred by reason of any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, motion or application before any court or administrative body in and to which Lender may be or become a party by reason hereof. Such proceedings shall include but not be limited to condemnation, bankruptcy, probate and administration proceedings, as well as any other action, suit, proceeding, right, motion or application wherein proof of claim is by law required to be filed or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the terms of this Deed of Trust or the Loan Documents or otherwise purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of
Lender. All money paid or expended by Lender in that regard, together with interest thereon from date of such payment at the applicable interest rate shall be additional Indebtedness secured hereby and shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower without notice.
42.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, unless the same has been specifically waived in writing, all Rents collected or received by Borrower shall be accepted and held for Lender in trust and shall not be commingled with the funds and property of Borrower, but shall be promptly paid over to Lender.
43.
If more than one, all obligations and agreements of Borrower are joint and several.
44.
This Deed of Trust may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original; and such counterparts when taken together shall constitute but one agreement.
