| 3.1 | ASSIGNMENT. Trustor irrevocably and absolutely assigns to Beneficiary all of Trustor’s right, title and interest in, to and under: (a) all present and future leases of the Property or any portion thereof, all licenses and agreements relating to the management, leasing or operation of the Property or any portion thereof, and all other agreements of any kind relating to the use or occupancy of the Property or any portion thereof, whether such leases, licenses and agreements are now existing or entered into after the date hereof, including the Leases as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Leases”); and (b) all rents, income, issues, revenues and profits arising from the Property and the Leases and any renewals thereof and together with all rents, income, issues and profits from the use, enjoyment and occupancy of the Property (including, but not limited to, minimum rents, additional rents, percentage rents, deficiency rents, security deposits, all fees, sums or charges payable in connection with a modification, termination or settlement of a Lease or related Lease guaranty, all liquidated damages following default beyond all applicable notice and cure rights under any Leases, all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by damage to any part of the Property, all of Trustor’s rights to recover monetary amounts from any tenant (as hereinafter defined) in bankruptcy including, without limitation, rights of recovery for use and occupancy and damage claims arising out of Lease defaults beyond all applicable notice and cure rights, including rejection of a Lease, together with any sums of money that may now or at any time hereafter be or become due and payable to Trustor by virtue of any and all royalties, overriding royalties, bonuses, delay rentals and any other amount of any kind or character arising under any and all present and all future oil, gas and mining Leases covering the Property or any part thereof, and all proceeds and other amounts paid or owing to Trustor under or pursuant to any and all contracts and bonds relating to the construction, erection or renovation of the Property (collectively, the “Payments”). The term “Leases” shall also include all guarantees of and security for the tenants’ performance thereunder, and all amendments, extensions, renewals or modifications thereto which are permitted hereunder. This is a present and absolute assignment, not an assignment for security purposes only, and Beneficiary’s right to the Leases and Payments is not contingent upon, and may be exercised without possession of, the Property. The assignment of the rents herein granted is not a pledge of rents but is an absolute assignment of all rents, issues, profits, leases now or hereafter arising from the ownership, occupancy or use of the Property and is primary security for the Secured Obligations and shall be effective from the date hereof and not just in the event of a Default (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement). The rights of Beneficiary to collect and receive the rents assigned hereunder or to exercise any of the rights or powers herein granted to Beneficiary shall, to the extent not prohibited by law, extend from the date hereof through the filing of any suit to foreclose the lien of this Deed of Trust, the obtaining of any judgment foreclosing the lien of this Deed of Trust, and any period allowed by law for the redemption of the Property after any foreclosure sale. |
| 3.2 | GRANT OF LICENSE. Beneficiary confers upon Trustor a revocable license (the “License”) to collect and retain the Payments as they become due and payable and to administer the Leases pursuant to the terms thereof, until the occurrence and continuance of a Default. During the continuance of a Default, the License shall be automatically revoked and Beneficiary may collect and apply the Payments pursuant to the terms hereof without notice and without taking possession of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary shall give prompt written notice to Trustor of Beneficiary’s revocation of the License. All Payments thereafter collected by Trustor shall be held by Trustor as trustee under a constructive trust for the benefit of Beneficiary. The License shall automatically be reinstated upon the cure of any such Default. Trustor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the tenants under the Leases to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by Beneficiary for the payment to Beneficiary of any rental or other sums which may at any time become due under the Leases, or for the performance of any of the tenants’ undertakings under the Leases, and the tenants shall have no right or duty to inquire as to whether any Default has actually occurred or is then existing. Trustor hereby relieves the tenants from any liability to Trustor by reason of relying upon and complying with any such notice or demand by Beneficiary. Beneficiary may apply any Payments so collected by Beneficiary against any Secured Obligation in accordance with the |
4
| terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Collection of any Payments by Beneficiary shall not cure or waive any Default or notice of Default or invalidate any acts done pursuant to such notice. If and when no Default exists, Beneficiary shall re-confer the License upon Trustor until the occurrence and continuance of another Default. |
| 3.3 | EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT. The foregoing irrevocable assignment shall not cause Beneficiary to be: (a) a mortgagee in possession; (b) responsible or liable for the control, care, management or repair of the Property or for performing any of the terms, agreements, undertakings, obligations, representations, warranties, covenants and conditions of the Leases; (c) responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants under any of the Leases or by any other parties; for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property; or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee, invitee or other person; or (d) responsible for or impose upon Beneficiary any duty to produce rents or profits. Beneficiary shall not directly or indirectly be liable to Trustor or any other person as a consequence of: (1) the exercise or failure to exercise any of the rights, remedies or powers granted to Beneficiary hereunder; or (2) the failure or refusal of Beneficiary to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of Trustor arising under the Leases. |

The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, this indemnity shall not include any claim, loss, damage, cost, expense or liability directly or indirectly to the extent it arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee, or with respect to the matters set forth in clause (f) above, any claim, loss, damage, cost, expense or liability incurred by the Trustee resulting from the introduction and initial release of Hazardous Materials on the Property first occurring after the transfer of title to the Property at a foreclosure sale under this Deed of Trust, either pursuant to judicial decree or the power of sale, or by deed in lieu of such foreclosure. Trustor shall pay promptly upon Trustee’s demand any amounts owing under this indemnity together with interest from the date of written demand thereof until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Note as specified therein. Trustor agrees to use legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Trustee in any action or proceeding arising under this indemnity.
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION AND/OR RECONVEYANCE OR RELEASE AND/OR DISCHARGE OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, BUT TRUSTOR’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS INDEMNITY SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE SECTION IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT ENTITLED “BORROWER’S LIABILITY.”
| 6.11 | RELEASES, EXTENSIONS, MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONAL SECURITY. Without notice to or the consent, approval or agreement of any persons or entities having any interest at any time in the Property or in any manner obligated under the Secured Obligations (collectively, the “Interested Parties”), Beneficiary may, from time to time: (a) fully or partially release any person or entity from liability for the payment or performance of any Secured Obligation; (b) extend the maturity of any Secured Obligation; (c) make any agreement with Trustor increasing the amount or otherwise altering the terms of any Secured Obligation; (d) accept additional security for any Secured Obligation; or (e) release all or any portion of the Property, Collateral and other security for any Secured Obligation. None of the foregoing actions shall release or reduce the personal liability of any of said Interested Parties, or release or impair the priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust upon the Property. |
| 6.12 | RELEASE. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, repayment in full of the principal, interest and other amounts owing under the Note), and all obligations, if any, of Beneficiary for future advances have been terminated, then, and in that event only, Beneficiary shall release, without warranty, the Property or that portion thereof then held hereunder. The recitals of any matters or facts in any release executed hereunder shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. To the extent permitted by law, the release may describe the grantee as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto”. Beneficiary shall not have any duty to determine the rights of persons claiming to be rightful grantees of any release. When the Property has been fully released, the last such release shall operate as a reassignment of all future rents, issues and profits of the Property to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. |
| 6.13 | SUBROGATION. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the lien of all encumbrances, whether released of record or not, paid in whole or in part by Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust or by the proceeds of any loan secured by this Deed of Trust. |
10
| 6.14 | ACCEPTANCE OF TRUST; POWERS AND DUTIES OF TRUSTEE. Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of Trust is recorded. From time to time upon written request of Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed of Trust, or a certified copy thereof, for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of any indebtedness or performance of any Secured Obligation, Trustee may, without liability therefor and without notice: (a) reconvey all or any part of the Property; (b) consent to the making of any map or plat of the Property; (c) join in granting any easement on the Property; (d) join in any declaration of covenants and restrictions; or (e) join in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge of this Deed of Trust. Nothing contained in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed to limit, impair or otherwise affect the rights of Trustor in any respect. Except as may otherwise be required by applicable law, Trustee or Beneficiary may from time to time apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in the execution of the trusts hereunder and the enforcement of the rights and remedies available hereunder, and Trustee or Beneficiary may obtain orders or decrees directing or confirming or approving acts in the execution of said trusts and the enforcement of said remedies. Trustee has no obligation to notify any party of any pending sale or any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, actions in which Trustor, Beneficiary or Trustee shall be a party) unless held or commenced and maintained by Trustee under this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall not be obligated to perform any act required of it hereunder unless the performance of the act is requested in writing and Trustee is reasonably indemnified and held harmless against loss, cost, liability and expense. |
| 6.15 | COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEE. Trustor shall pay to Trustee reasonable compensation and reimbursement for services and expenses in the administration of this trust, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. Trustor shall pay all indebtedness arising under this Section immediately upon demand by Trustee or Beneficiary together with interest thereon from the date of written demand thereof at the rate of interest then applicable to the principal balance of the Note as specified therein. |
| 6.16 | SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEE. From time to time, by a writing signed and acknowledged by Beneficiary and recorded in the Office of the Recorder of the County in which the Property is situated, Beneficiary may appoint another trustee to act in the place and stead of Trustee or any successor. Such writing shall set forth any information required by law. The recordation of such instrument of substitution shall discharge Trustee herein named and shall appoint the new trustee as the trustee hereunder with the same effect as if originally named trustee herein. A writing recorded pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be conclusive proof of the proper substitution of such new trustee. |
| 6.17 | RECONVEYANCE. Upon Beneficiary’s written request, and upon surrender of this Deed of Trust or certified copy thereof and any note, instrument or instruments setting forth all obligations secured hereby to Trustee for cancellation, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Property or that portion thereof then held hereunder. The recitals of any matters or facts in any reconveyance executed hereunder shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. To the extent permitted by law, the reconveyance may describe the grantee as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto”. Neither Beneficiary nor Trustee shall have any duty to determine the rights of persons claiming to be rightful grantees of any reconveyance. When the Property has been fully reconveyed, the last such reconveyance shall operate as a reassignment of all future rents, issues and profits of the Property to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. |
ARTICLE 7. REMEDIES
| 7.1 | RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in the Loan Agreement, at any time after and during the continuance of a Default, Beneficiary shall have all of the following rights and remedies: |
a. Entry on Property. With or without notice, and without releasing Trustor from any Secured Obligation, and without becoming a mortgagee in possession, to enter upon the Property from time to time and to do such acts and things as Beneficiary or Trustee deems necessary or desirable in order to inspect, investigate, assess and protect the security hereof or to cure any Default, including, without limitation: (i) to take and possess all documents, books, records, papers and accounts of Trustor and/or any non-borrower Trustor of the Property, the then owner of the Property which relate to the Property; (ii) to make, terminate, enforce or modify leases of the Property upon such terms and conditions as Beneficiary
11
deems proper; (iii) to make repairs, alterations and improvements to the Property necessary, in Trustee’s or Beneficiary’s sole judgment, to protect or enhance the security hereof; (iv) to appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder; (v) to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of lien which, in the sole judgment of either Beneficiary or Trustee, is or may be senior in priority hereto, the judgment of Beneficiary being conclusive as between the parties hereto; (vi) to obtain insurance; (vii) to pay any premiums or charges with respect to insurance required to be carried hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (viii) to obtain a court order to enforce Beneficiary’s right to enter and inspect the Property for Hazardous Materials, in which regard the decision of Beneficiary as to whether there exists a release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials onto the Property shall be deemed reasonable and conclusive as between the parties hereto; (ix) to have a receiver appointed pursuant to applicable law to enforce Beneficiary’s rights to enter and inspect the Property for Hazardous Materials; and/or (x) to employ legal counsel, accountants, engineers, consultants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist them;
b. Appointment of Receiver. With or without notice to Trustor and without a hearing, which are hereby waived by Trustor, to apply ex parte to a court of competent jurisdiction for and obtain appointment of a receiver of the Property as a matter of strict right, and Beneficiary’s right to collect Payments, and without regard to: (i) the adequacy of the security for the repayment of the Secured Obligations; (ii) the existence of a declaration that the Secured Obligations are immediately due and payable; or (iii) the filing of a notice of default and Trustor consents to such appointment;
c. Judicial Foreclosure; Injunction. To commence and maintain an action or actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this instrument as a mortgage or to obtain specific enforcement of the covenants of Trustor hereunder, and Trustor agrees that such covenants shall be specifically enforceable by injunction or any other appropriate equitable remedy and that for the purposes of any suit brought under this subparagraph, Trustor waives the defense of laches and any applicable statute of limitations;
d. Nonjudicial Foreclosure.
(i) To cause Trustee to execute a written notice of such Default and of the election to cause the Property to be sold to satisfy the Secured Obligations. Trustee shall give and record such notice as the law then requires as a condition precedent to a trustee’s sale. When the minimum period of time required by law after such notice has elapsed, Trustee, without notice to or demand upon Trustor except as required by law, shall sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in the notice of sale, at one or several sales, either as a whole or in separate parcels and in such manner and order, all as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Neither Trustor nor any other person or entity other than Beneficiary shall have the right to direct the order in which the Property is sold. Subject to requirements and limits imposed by law, Trustee may, from time to time, 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 may postpone the sale by public announcement at the time and place fixed by the preceding postponement. 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. Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser at such sale a deed conveying the Property or portion thereof so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in the deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustee, Trustor or Beneficiary may purchase at the sale;
(ii) Upon sale of the Property at any foreclosure, Beneficiary may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply (as determined by Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion) all or any portion of the Secured Obligations as a credit against the purchase price. In determining such credit bid, Beneficiary may, but is not obligated to, take into account all or any of the following: (i) appraisals of the Property as such appraisals may be discounted or adjusted by Beneficiary in its sole and absolute underwriting discretion; (ii) expenses and costs
12
incurred by Beneficiary with respect to the Property prior to foreclosure; (iii) expenses and costs which Beneficiary anticipates will be incurred with respect to the Property after foreclosure, but prior to resale, including, without limitation, costs of structural reports and other due diligence, costs to carry the Property prior to resale, costs of resale (e.g. commissions, attorneys’ fees, and taxes), costs of any Hazardous Materials clean-up and monitoring, costs of deferred maintenance, repair, refurbishment and retrofit, costs of defending or settling litigation affecting the Property, and lost opportunity costs (if any), including the time value of money during any anticipated holding period by Beneficiary; (iv) declining trends in real property values generally and with respect to properties similar to the Property; (v) anticipated discounts upon resale of the Property as a distressed or foreclosed property; (vi) the fact of additional collateral (if any), for the Secured Obligations; and (vii) such other factors or matters that Beneficiary (in its sole and absolute discretion) deems appropriate. In regard to the above, Trustor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Beneficiary is not required to use any or all of the foregoing factors to determine the amount of its credit bid; (ii) this paragraph does not impose upon Beneficiary any additional obligations that are not imposed by law at the time the credit bid is made; (iii) the amount of Beneficiary’s credit bid need not have any relation to any loan-to-value ratios specified in the Loan Documents or previously discussed between Trustor and Beneficiary; and (iv) Beneficiary’s credit bid may be (at Beneficiary’s sole and absolute discretion) higher or lower than any appraised value of the Property;
e. Intentionally omitted.
f. Rights to Collateral. To exercise all rights Trustee or Beneficiary may have with respect to the Collateral under this Deed of Trust, the UCC or otherwise at law; and
g. Other Rights. To exercise such other rights as Trustee or Beneficiary may have at law or in equity or pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents.
Any sale of Collateral hereunder shall be conducted in any manner permitted by the UCC.
| 7.2 | APPLICATION OF FORECLOSURE SALE PROCEEDS. If any foreclosure sale is effected, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of such sale in the following order of priority, to the extent permitted under applicable law: First, to the costs, fees and expenses of exercising the power of sale and of sale, including, without limitation, the payment of trustee’s fees and attorneys’ fees permitted pursuant to applicable law; Second, to the payment of the Secured Obligations which are secured by this Deed of Trust, in such order as Beneficiary shall determine in its sole discretion; Third, to satisfy the outstanding balance of obligations secured by any junior liens or encumbrances in the order of their priority; and Fourth, to Trustor or Trustor’s successor in interest, or in the event the Property has been sold or transferred to another, to the vested owner of record at the time of the trustee’s sale. |
| 7.3 | WAIVER OF MARSHALING RIGHTS. Trustor, for itself and for all parties claiming through or under Trustor, and for all parties who may acquire a lien on or interest in the Property, hereby waives all rights to have the Property and/or any other property, including, without limitation, the Collateral, which is now or later may be security for any Secured Obligation, marshaled upon any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or on a foreclosure of any other security for any of the Secured Obligations. |
| 7.4 | NO CURE OR WAIVER. Neither Beneficiary’s nor Trustee’s nor any receiver’s entry upon and taking possession of all or any part of the Property, nor any collection of rents, issues, profits, insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds or damages, other security or proceeds of other security, or other sums, nor the application of any collected sum to any Secured Obligation, nor the exercise of any other right or remedy by Beneficiary or Trustee or any receiver (except as required by applicable law) shall cure or waive any Default or notice of default under this Deed of Trust, or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale (unless all Secured Obligations then due have been paid or performed and Trustor has cured all other Defaults hereunder), or impair the status of the security, or prejudice Beneficiary or Trustee in the exercise of any right or remedy, or be construed as an affirmation by Beneficiary of any tenancy, lease or option or a subordination of the lien of this Deed of Trust, unless and until the Debt has been repaid in full as a result thereof. |
13
| 7.5 | PAYMENT OF COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Trustor agrees to pay to Beneficiary promptly upon demand all third-party costs and expenses actually incurred by Trustee and Beneficiary in the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust (including, without limitation, servicer costs, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in litigation or not) with interest from the date of expenditure until said sums have been paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Note as specified therein. |
| 7.6 | POWER TO FILE NOTICES AND CURE DEFAULTS. Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary and its successors and assigns, as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to perform any obligation of Trustor hereunder upon the occurrence of an event, act or omission which, with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a Default, provided Beneficiary has provided Trustor with any required written notice or cure period, as required by the Loan Agreement, provided, however, that: (a) Beneficiary as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as are actually received by Beneficiary; and (b) Beneficiary shall not be liable to Trustor or any other person or entity for any failure to act under this Article 7. |
ARTICLE 8. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
| 8.1 | ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. The Loan Documents contain or incorporate by reference the entire agreement of the parties with respect to matters contemplated herein and supersede all prior negotiations. The Loan Documents grant further rights to Beneficiary and contain further agreements and affirmative and negative covenants by Trustor which apply to this Deed of Trust and to the Property and such further rights and agreements are incorporated herein by this reference. THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF TRUSTOR UNDER THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE SECTION IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT ENTITLED “BORROWER’S LIABILITY”. |
| 8.2 | NON-WAIVER. By accepting payment of any amount secured hereby after its due date or late performance of any other Secured Obligation, Beneficiary shall not waive its right against any person obligated directly or indirectly hereunder or on any Secured Obligation, either to require prompt payment or performance when due of all other sums and obligations so secured or to declare default for failure to make such prompt payment or performance. No failure by Beneficiary or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy hereunder arising upon any Default shall be construed to prejudice Beneficiary’s or Trustee’s rights or remedies upon the occurrence of any other or subsequent Default. No delay by Beneficiary or Trustee in exercising any such right or remedy shall be construed to preclude Beneficiary or Trustee from the exercise thereof at any time while that Default is continuing. No notice to nor demand on Trustor shall of itself entitle Trustor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. |
| 8.3 | PERMITTED CONTESTS. After prior written notice to Beneficiary, Trustor may contest, by appropriate legal or other proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount, validity or application, in whole or in part, of any lien, levy, tax or assessment, or any lien of any laborer, mechanic, materialman, supplier or vendor, or the application to Trustor or the Property of any law or the validity thereof, the assertion or imposition of which, or the failure to pay when due, would constitute a Default; provided that (a) Trustor pursues the contest diligently, in a manner which Beneficiary determines in its reasonable discretion is not prejudicial to Beneficiary, and does not impair the lien of this Deed of Trust; (b) the Property, or any part hereof or estate or interest therein, shall not be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such proceedings; (c) in the case of the contest of any law or other legal requirement, Beneficiary shall not be in any danger of any civil or criminal liability; and (d) if reasonably required by Beneficiary, Trustor deposits with Beneficiary any funds or other forms of assurance (including a bond or letter of credit) reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary to protect Beneficiary from the consequences of the contest being unsuccessful. Trustor’s right to contest pursuant to the terms of this provision shall in no way relieve Trustor of its obligations under the Loan or to make payments to Beneficiary as and when due. |
14
| 8.4 | FURTHER ASSURANCES. Trustor shall, upon demand by Beneficiary or Trustee, execute, acknowledge (if appropriate) and deliver any and all documents and instruments and do or cause to be done all further acts deemed reasonably necessary or appropriate by Beneficiary to effectuate the purposes of the Loan Documents and to further perfect any assignments contained therein. |
| 8.5 | ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES; ENFORCEMENT. If any attorney is engaged by Beneficiary to enforce or defend any provision of this Deed of Trust and/or any of the other Loan Documents, or as a consequence of any Default under the Loan Documents, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, and including, without limitation, any fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy proceeding of Trustor, then Trustor shall immediately pay to Beneficiary upon demand, the amount of all reasonable third-party costs and expenses actually incurred by Beneficiary in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and any loan servicing and/or special servicing fees), together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement); provided that, if any action is commenced in connection with any of the foregoing, the party who is determined to be the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to be paid, and the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party, all costs and expenses (including, reasonable attorneys’ fees and interest thereon as noted above) as fixed by the court. As used herein the term “prevailing party” shall mean the party which obtains the principal relief it has sought, whether by compromise settlement or judgment. If the party which commenced or instituted the action, suit or proceeding shall dismiss or discontinue it without the concurrence of the other party, such other party shall be deemed the prevailing party. |
| 8.6 | TRUSTOR AND BENEFICIARY DEFINED. The term “Trustor” includes both the original Trustor and any subsequent owner or owners of any of the Property, and the term “Beneficiary” includes the original Beneficiary and any future owner or holder, including assignees, pledges and participants, of the Note or any interest therein. |
| 8.7 | DISCLAIMERS. |

15
