conditions, obligations and prohibitions required of Grantor in connection with
any other document or instrument affecting title to the Real Property or
Grantor's interest in the Trust Property, or any part thereof, regardless of
whether such document or instrument is superior or subordinate to this Deed of
Trust.
1.4 Insurance. Grantor shall, at Xxxxxxx's expense, maintain in
force and effect on the Trust Property at all times while this Deed of Trust
continues in effect the following insurance:
(a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Trust
Property by fire, windstorm, tornado and hail and against loss and damage by
such other, further and additional risks as may be now or hereafter embraced by
an "all-risk" or "special form" type of insurance policy. The amount of such
insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full
replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements (as established by an MAI
appraisal), without reduction for depreciation. The determination of the
replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to comply with the
requirements of the insurer issuing such coverage or, at Beneficiary's election,
by reference to such indices, appraisals or information as Beneficiary
determines in its reasonable discretion in order to reflect increased value due
to inflation. Absent such annual adjustment, each policy shall contain inflation
guard coverage insuring that the policy limit will be increased over time to
reflect the effect of inflation. Full replacement cost, as used herein, means,
with respect to the Improvements, the cost of replacing the Improvements without
regard to deduction for depreciation, exclusive of the cost of excavations,
foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor. Grantor shall also
maintain insurance against loss or damage to furniture, furnishings, fixtures,
equipment and other items (whether personalty or
12
fixtures) owned by Xxxxxxx and included in the Trust Property and owned by
Grantor from time to time to the extent applicable. Each policy shall contain a
replacement cost endorsement and either an agreed amount endorsement (to avoid
the operation of any co-insurance provisions) or a waiver of any co-insurance
provisions, all subject to Beneficiary's approval. The maximum deductible shall
be $25,000.00.
(b) Commercial General Liability Insurance against claims
for personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage occurring on, in
or about the Premises or the Improvements in amounts not less than $1,000,000.00
per occurrence and $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate plus umbrella coverage in an
amount not less than $2,000,000. Beneficiary hereby retains the right to
periodically review the amount of said liability insurance being maintained by
Grantor and to require an increase in the amount of said liability insurance
should Beneficiary deem an increase to be reasonably prudent under then existing
circumstances.
(c) Boiler and machinery insurance is required if steam
boilers or other pressure-fired vessels are in operation at the Premises.
Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the greater of the
replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements housing such boiler or
pressure-fired machinery or $2,000,000.00. If one or more large HVAC units is in
operation at the Premises, "Systems Breakdowns" coverage shall be required, as
determined by Beneficiary. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal
the value of such unit(s).
(d) If the Improvements or any part thereof is situated
in an area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA") as a
special flood hazard area (Zone A or Zone V), flood insurance in an amount equal
to the lesser of: (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage,
to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or the unpaid
balance of the Debt if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type
of building insured), or (ii) the maximum insurance available under the
appropriate National Flood Insurance Administration program. The maximum
deductible shall be $3,000.00 per building or a higher minimum amount as
required by FEMA or other applicable law.
(e) During the period of any construction, renovation or
alteration of the existing Improvements which exceeds the lesser of 10% of the
original principal amount of the Note or $500,000, at Beneficiary's request, a
completed value, "All Risk" Builder's Risk form or "Course of Construction"
insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount reasonably approved by
Beneficiary, may be required. During the period of any construction of any
addition to the existing Improvements, a completed value, "All Risk" Builder's
Risk form or "Course of Construction" insurance policy in non-reporting form, in
an amount reasonably approved by Beneficiary, shall be required
(f) When required by applicable law, ordinance or other
regulation, Worker's Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance covering
all persons subject to the worker's compensation laws of the state in which the
Trust Property is located.
(g) Business income (loss of rents) insurance in amounts
sufficient to compensate Grantor for all Rents or income during a period of not
less than twelve (12) months.
13
The amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the Rents or income
payable during the succeeding twelve (12) month period.
(h) Such other insurance on the Trust Property or on any
replacements or substitutions thereof or additions thereto as may from time to
time be required by Beneficiary against other insurable hazards or casualties
which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of property similarly
situated including, without limitation, Sinkhole, Mine Subsidence, Earthquake
and Environmental insurance, due regard being given to the height and type of
buildings, their construction, location, use and occupancy.
All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers fully licensed and
authorized to do business in the state within which the Premises is located and
who have and maintain a rating of at least A from Standard & Poors, or
equivalent, (ii) contain the complete address of the Premises (or a complete
legal description), (iii) be prepaid for three (3) months (provided that
Beneficiary may require up to twelve (12) months be prepaid in the event Grantor
is required to make payments to the Impound Account pursuant to Section 1.6(c)
hereof), and (iv) be subject to the approval of Beneficiary as to insurance
companies (provided such approval as to a particular company shall not be
withheld if the foregoing minimum rating requirement is satisfied), amounts,
content, forms of policies, method by which premiums are paid and expiration
dates, and (v) include a standard, non-contributory, mortgagee clause naming
EXACTLY:
First Union National Bank,
its Successors and Assigns ATIMA
Attn.: Structured Products Servicing
0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, XXX-0
Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000
(A) as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies, (B) as the
first mortgagee on all property insurance policies and (C) as the loss payee on
all loss of rents or loss of business income insurance policies.
Grantor shall, as of the date hereof, deliver to Beneficiary evidence
that said insurance policies have been prepaid as required above and certified
copies of such insurance policies and original certificates of insurance signed
by an authorized agent of the applicable insurance companies evidencing such
insurance satisfactory to Beneficiary. Grantor shall renew all such insurance
and deliver to Beneficiary certificates and policies evidencing such renewals at
least thirty (30) days before any such insurance shall expire. Grantor further
agrees that each such insurance policy: (i) shall provide for at least thirty
(30) days' prior written notice to Beneficiary prior to any policy reduction or
cancellation for any reason other than non-payment of premium and at least ten
(10) days' prior written notice to Beneficiary prior to any cancellation due to
non-payment of premium; (ii) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the
insurer that any loss shall be payable to Beneficiary in accordance with the
terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Grantor which
might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance; (iii) shall waive all
rights of subrogation against Beneficiary; (iv) in the event that the Premises
or the Improvements constitutes a legal non-conforming use under applicable
building, zoning or land use laws or ordinances, shall include an ordinance or
law coverage endorsement which will
14
contain Coverage A: "Loss Due to Operation of Law" (with a minimum liability
limit equal to Replacement Cost With Agreed Value Endorsement), Coverage B:
"Demolition Cost" and Coverage C: "Increased Cost of Construction" coverages;
and (v) may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that, in the event that
any such coverage is provided in the form of a blanket policy, Grantor hereby
acknowledges and agrees that failure to pay any portion of the premium therefor
which is not allocable to the Trust Property or by any other action not relating
to the Trust Property which would otherwise permit the issuer thereof to cancel
the coverage thereof, would require the Trust Property to be insured by a
separate, single-property policy. The blanket policy must properly identify and
fully protect the Trust Property as if a separate policy were issued for 100% of
Replacement Cost at the time of loss and otherwise meet all of Beneficiary's
applicable insurance requirements set forth in this Section 1.4. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, in the event of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust,
or other transfer of title to the Trust Property in extinguishment in whole or
in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to all
proceeds payable under such policies then in force concerning the Trust Property
shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, or in Beneficiary or
other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title. Approval of any
insurance by Beneficiary shall not be a representation of the solvency of any
insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance. In the event Grantor
fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Beneficiary
the policies of insurance required by this Deed of Trust or evidence of their
renewal as required herein, Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to,
procure such insurance and Grantor shall pay all amounts advanced by Beneficiary
therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and
after the date advanced by Beneficiary until actually repaid by Grantor,
promptly upon demand by Beneficiary. Any amounts so advanced by Beneficiary,
together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and by
all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.
Beneficiary shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the
insolvency of the insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform, even
though Beneficiary has caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after
failure of Grantor to furnish such insurance. Grantor shall not obtain insurance
for the Trust Property in addition to that required by Beneficiary without the
prior written consent of Beneficiary, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld provided that (i) Beneficiary is a named insured on such insurance,
(ii) Beneficiary receives complete copies of all policies evidencing such
insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable
requirements set forth herein.
1.5 Payment of Taxes. Grantor shall pay or cause to be paid,
except to the extent Beneficiary is to pay the same pursuant to Section 1.6(a)
of this Deed of Trust, all taxes and assessments which are or may become a lien
on the Trust Property or which are assessed against or imposed upon the Trust
Property. If paid by Grantor, Grantor shall furnish Beneficiary with receipts
(or if receipts are not immediately available, with copies of canceled checks
evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after they become available)
showing payment of such taxes and assessments at least fifteen (15) days prior
to the applicable delinquency date therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Grantor may, in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and upon notice to
Beneficiary, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted tax
or assessment so long as (a) such contest is diligently pursued, (b) Beneficiary
determines, in its reasonable subjective opinion, that such contest suspends the
obligation to pay the tax and that nonpayment of such tax or assessment will not
result in the sale, loss, forfeiture or diminution of
15
the Trust Property or any part thereof or any interest of Beneficiary therein,
and (c) prior to the earlier of the commencement of such contest or the
delinquency date of the asserted tax or assessment, Grantor deposits in the
Impound Account (as hereinafter defined) an amount determined by Beneficiary to
be reasonably adequate to cover the payment of such tax or assessment and a
reasonable additional sum to cover possible interest, costs and penalties;
provided, however, that Grantor shall promptly cause to be paid any amount
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all interest,
costs and penalties thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; and
provided further that in any event each such contest shall be concluded and the
taxes, assessments, interest, costs and penalties shall be paid prior to the
date any writ or order is issued under which the Trust Property may be sold,
lost or forfeited.
1.6 Tax and Insurance Impound Account. (a) Grantor shall establish
and maintain at all times while this Deed of Trust continues in effect an
impound account (the "Impound Account") with Beneficiary for payment of real
estate taxes and assessments and insurance on the Trust Property and as
additional security for the Debt. Simultaneously with the execution hereof,
Grantor shall deposit in the Impound Account an amount determined by Beneficiary
to be necessary to ensure that there will be on deposit with Beneficiary an
amount which, when added to the monthly payments subsequently required to be
deposited with Beneficiary hereunder on account of real estate taxes,
assessments and insurance premiums, will result in there being on deposit with
Beneficiary in the Impound Account an amount sufficient to pay the next due
installment of real estate taxes and assessments on the Trust Property at least
one (1) month prior to the earlier of (a) the due date thereof or (b) any such
date by which Grantor or Beneficiary is required by law to pay same and the next
due annual insurance premiums with respect to the Trust Property at least one
(1) month prior to the due date thereof. Commencing on the first monthly payment
date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each monthly payment date under
the Note, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary, concurrently with and in addition to
the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Debt is fully paid and
performed, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of
the annual real estate taxes and assessments that will next become due and
payable on the Trust Property, plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the
annual premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies
which Grantor is required to maintain hereunder, each as estimated and
determined by Beneficiary. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, and no
event has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time, the giving
of notice, or both would constitute an Event of Default (a "Default"), all sums
in the Impound Account shall be held by Beneficiary in the Impound Account to
pay said taxes, assessments and insurance premiums before the same become
delinquent. Grantor shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by
Beneficiary, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for
payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all taxes,
assessments and insurance premiums to be paid from the Impound Account, and so
long as no Event of Default has occurred, Beneficiary shall pay the governmental
authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are
available for such purpose in the Impound Account. In making any payment from
the Impound Account, Beneficiary shall be entitled to rely on any bill,
statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance
company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement
or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability
or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien
or title or claim
16
thereof. No interest on funds contained in the Impound Account, if any, shall be
paid by Beneficiary to Grantor.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan
Document to the contrary, at any time prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in
the Note), unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Grantor shall not be required to make deposits to the Impound
Account as required by Section 1.6(a) of this Deed of Trust with respect to
insurance premiums (the "Insurance Obligations") provided that each of the
following conditions is satisfied at all times:
(i) Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Grantor
shall deposit in the Impound Account the equivalent of three (3) months
of insurance premiums; and
(ii) Grantor timely delivers satisfactory evidence of
payment for and renewal of the insurance policy or policies as required
hereunder.
(c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, including, without limitation, with respect to Grantor's obligations
under Section 1.4 and Section 1.6(a) (as modified by Section 1.6(b)) hereof,
upon Beneficiary's request, Grantor shall promptly commence making full payments
to the Impound Account pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
Beneficiary shall not require Grantor to commence making payments to the Impound
Account if a default occurs with regard to the payment and performance of the
Insurance Obligations so long as such default shall not have resulted in the
expiration, termination or lapse of insurance as required under Section 1.4
hereof and so long as Grantor shall have cured such default by the earlier of
(1) seven (7) days after written notice thereof from Beneficiary to Grantor or
(2) prior to the date on which nonpayment of premiums would result in the lapse,
expiration or termination of insurance as required by Section 1.4 hereof.
1.7 Intentionally Deleted.
1.8 Replacement Reserve.
(a) As additional security for the Debt, Grantor shall
establish and maintain at all times while this Deed of Trust continues in effect
a repair and replacement reserve (the "Replacement Reserve") with Beneficiary
for payment of costs and expenses incurred by Grantor in connection with the
performance of work related to the maintenance, replacement and/or repair of the
Trust Property, including without limitation, work to the roofs, chimneys,
gutters, downspouts, paving, curbs, ramps, driveways, balconies, porches,
patios, exterior walls, exterior doors and doorways, windows, elevators and
mechanical and HVAC equipment and such other work as Grantor deems necessary or
appropriate (collectively, the "Repairs"). Commencing on the first monthly
Payment Date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each monthly Payment
Date under the Note, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary, concurrently with and in
addition to the monthly payments due under the Note and until the Debt is fully
paid and performed, a deposit to the Replacement Reserve in an amount equal to
$4,416.67 per month. So
17
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all sums in the
Replacement Reserve shall be held by Beneficiary in the Replacement Reserve to
pay the costs and expense of Repairs. So long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary shall, to the extent funds are available
for such purpose in the Replacement Reserve, disburse to Grantor the amount paid
or incurred by Grantor in performing such Repairs within ten (10) days
following: (a) the receipt by Beneficiary of a written request from Grantor for
disbursement from the Replacement Reserve and a certification by Grantor that
the applicable item of Repair has been completed; (b) the delivery to
Beneficiary of invoices, receipts, cancelled checks or other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Beneficiary, verifying the cost of performing the Repairs; (c)
for disbursement requests with individual items costing in excess of $50,000.00,
the delivery to Beneficiary of affidavits, lien waivers, cancelled checks or
other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary showing that all
materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could
claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished
material or labor to the Trust Property have been paid all amounts due for labor
and materials furnished to the Trust Property; (d) for disbursement requests
with individual items costing in excess of $50,000.00, delivery to Beneficiary
of a certification from a third party acceptable to Beneficiary describing the
completed Repairs and verifying the completion of the Repairs and the value of
the completed Repairs; and (e) for disbursement requests with individual items
costing in excess of $50,000.00, delivery to Beneficiary of a new certificate of
occupancy or local equivalent for the portion of the Improvements covered by
such Repairs, if said new certificate of occupancy is required by law, or a
certification by Grantor that no new certificate of occupancy is required.
Beneficiary shall not be required to make advances from the Replacement Reserve
more frequently than once in any ninety (90) day period. In making any payment
from the Replacement Reserve, Beneficiary shall be entitled to rely on such
request from Grantor without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or
contestability of any such amount. Beneficiary may, at Xxxxxxx's expense, make
or cause to be made during the term of this Deed of Trust an annual inspection
of the Trust Property to determine the need, as determined by Beneficiary in its
reasonable judgment, for further Repairs of the Trust Property. In the event
that such inspection reveals that further Repairs of the Trust Property are
required, Beneficiary shall provide Grantor with a written description of the
required Repairs and Grantor shall respond within thirty (30) days of such
request, and, thereafter, Grantor shall make such Repairs, as may be mutually
agreed upon by Grantor and Beneficiary and within such time period as may be
mutually agreed upon. Funds contained in the Replacement Reserve shall be placed
in an interest-bearing account upon receipt and interest thereon credited to
Grantor as provided in Section 4.31 hereof.
(b) As additional security for the payment and
performance by Grantor of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under the
Note and the other Loan Documents, Grantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably assigns, conveys, pledges, mortgages, transfers, delivers, deposits,
sets over and confirms unto Beneficiary, and hereby grants to Beneficiary a
security interest in Grantor's right, title and interest in, (i) the Impound
Account, the Replacement Reserve, the Repair and Remediation Reserve and any
other reserve or escrow account established pursuant to the terms hereof or of
any other Loan Document (collectively, the "Reserves"), (ii) the accounts into
which the Reserves have been deposited, (iii) all insurance on said accounts,
(iv) all accounts, contract rights and general intangibles or other rights and
interests pertaining thereto, (v) all sums now or hereafter therein or
represented thereby, (vi) all replacements, substitutions or proceeds thereof,
(vii) all instruments and documents now or
18
hereafter evidencing the Reserves or such accounts, (viii) all powers, options,
rights, privileges and immunities pertaining to the Reserves (including the
right to make withdrawals therefrom), and (ix) all proceeds of the foregoing.
Grantor hereby authorizes and consents to the account into which the Reserves
have been deposited being held in Beneficiary's name or the name of any entity
servicing the Note for Beneficiary and hereby acknowledges and agrees that
Beneficiary, or at Beneficiary's election, such servicing agent, shall have
exclusive control over said account. Notice of the assignment and security
interest granted to Beneficiary herein may be delivered by Beneficiary at any
time to the financial institution wherein the Reserves have been established,
and Beneficiary, or such servicing entity, shall have possession of all
passbooks or other evidences of such accounts. Grantor hereby assumes all risk
of loss with respect to amounts on deposit in the Reserves, unless finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary. Grantor hereby knowingly,
voluntarily and intentionally stipulates, acknowledges and agrees that the
advancement of the funds from the Reserves as set forth herein is at Grantor's
direction and is not the exercise by Beneficiary of any right of set-off or
other remedy upon a Default or an Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall
occur hereunder or under any other of the Loan Documents and shall be
continuing, Beneficiary may, without notice or demand on Grantor, at its option:
(A) withdraw any or all of the funds (including, without limitation, interest)
then remaining in the Reserves and apply the same, after deducting all costs and
expenses of safekeeping, collection and delivery (including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses) to the Debt or any other
obligations of Grantor under the other Loan Documents in such manner as
Beneficiary shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, and the excess, if
any, shall be paid to Grantor, (B) exercise any and all rights and remedies of a
secured party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code, or (C) exercise any
other remedies available at law or in equity. No such use or application of the
funds contained in the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of
Default.
(c) The Reserves shall not, unless otherwise explicitly
required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at
Beneficiary's option and in Beneficiary's discretion, may either be held in a
separate account or be commingled by Beneficiary with the general funds of
Beneficiary. The Reserves are solely for the protection of Beneficiary and
entail no responsibility on Beneficiary's part beyond the payment of the
respective items for which they are held following receipt of bills, invoices or
statements therefor in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing
of due credit for the sums actually received. Upon assignment of this Deed of
Trust by Beneficiary and assumption by assignee of Beneficiary's obligations
hereunder, any funds in the Reserves shall be turned over to the assignee and
any responsibility of Beneficiary, as assignor, with respect thereto shall
terminate. If the funds in the applicable Reserve shall exceed the amount of
payments actually applied by Beneficiary for the purposes and items for which
the applicable Reserve is held, such excess may be credited by Beneficiary on
subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Beneficiary,
refunded to Grantor. If, however, the applicable Reserve shall not contain
sufficient funds to pay the sums required by the dates on which such sums are
required to be on deposit in such account, Grantor shall, within thirty (30)
days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Beneficiary the full
amount of any such deficiency. If Grantor shall fail to deposit with Beneficiary
the full amount of such deficiency as provided above, Beneficiary shall have the
option, but not the obligation, to make such deposit, and all amounts so
deposited by
19
Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from
the date so deposited by Beneficiary until actually paid by Grantor, shall be
immediately paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust
and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. If
there is an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust that shall have occurred
and be continuing, Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, apply at any
time the balance then remaining in any or all of the Reserves against the Debt
in whatever order Beneficiary shall subjectively determine. No such application
of any or all of the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Upon
full payment of the Debt in accordance with its terms or at such earlier time as
Beneficiary may elect, the balance of any or all of the Reserves then in
Beneficiary's possession shall be paid over to Grantor and no other party shall
have any right or claim thereto.
1.9 Casualty and Condemnation. Grantor shall give Beneficiary
prompt written notice of the occurrence of any casualty affecting, or the
institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of,
the Trust Property or any portion thereof. Subject to the following sentence,
all insurance proceeds on the Trust Property, and all causes of action, claims,
compensation, awards and recoveries for any damage, condemnation or taking of
all or any part of the Trust Property or for any damage or injury to it for any
loss or diminution in value of the Trust Property, shall be paid to Beneficiary.
Beneficiary may participate in any suits or proceedings relating to any such
proceeds, causes of action, claims, compensation, awards or recoveries, and
Beneficiary is hereby authorized, in its own name or in Grantor's name, to
adjust any loss covered by insurance or any condemnation claim or cause of
action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause of action in connection
therewith, and Grantor shall from time to time deliver to Beneficiary any
instruments required to permit such participation; provided, however, that, so
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary
shall not have the right to participate in the adjustment of any loss or the
receipt of any sums hereunder which is not in excess of the lesser of (i) five
percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii)
$200,000, and Grantor may receive such funds from any loss not in excess of the
foregoing directly to be used for repair or restoration of the Trust Property in
accordance with the terms hereof. Beneficiary shall apply any sums received by
it under this Section first to the payment of all of its costs and expenses
(including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements)
incurred in obtaining those sums, and then, as follows:
(a) In the event that less than forty percent (40%) of
the Improvements located on the Premises have been taken or destroyed, then if
and so long as:
(1) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and
(2) the Trust Property can, in Beneficiary's
reasonable judgment, with diligent restoration or repair, be returned
in all material respects to a condition substantially the same as the
condition thereof that existed prior to the casualty or partial taking
causing the loss or damage within the earlier to occur of (i) nine (9)
months after the receipt of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards
by either Grantor or Beneficiary, and (ii) sixty (60) days prior to the
stated maturity date of the Note, and
20
(3) all necessary governmental approvals can be
obtained to allow the rebuilding and reoccupancy of the Trust Property
as described in Section (a)(2) above, and
(4) there are sufficient sums available (through
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards and contributions by Grantor
or otherwise, the full amount of which shall, at Beneficiary's option,
have been deposited with Beneficiary) for such restoration or repair
(including, without limitation, for any reasonable costs and expenses
of Beneficiary to be incurred in administering said restoration or
repair) and for payment of principal and interest to become due and
payable under the Note during such restoration or repair, and
(5) the economic feasibility of the Improvements
after such restoration or repair will be such that income from their
operation is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to pay operating
expenses of the Trust Property and debt service on the Debt in full
with the same coverage ratio considered by Beneficiary in its
determination to make the loan secured hereby, and
(6) in the event that the insurance proceeds or
condemnation awards received as a result of such casualty or partial
taking exceed the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then
outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $200,000, Grantor
shall have delivered to Beneficiary, at Grantor's sole cost and
expense, an appraisal report in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Beneficiary appraising the value of the Trust Property
as proposed to be restored or repaired to be not less than the
appraised value of the Trust Property considered by Beneficiary in its
determination to make the loan secured hereby, and
(7) Grantor so elects by written notice
delivered to Beneficiary within fifteen (15) days after settlement of
the aforesaid insurance or condemnation claim, then, Beneficiary shall,
solely for the purposes of such restoration or repair, advance so much
of the remainder of such sums as may be required for such restoration
or repair, and any funds deposited by Grantor therefor, to Grantor in
the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a
prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the
reasonable prior approval by Beneficiary of plans and specifications,
contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to
Beneficiary of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and
affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary in its discretion, with any
remainder being applied by Xxxxxxxxxxx for payment of the Debt in
whatever order Beneficiary directs in its absolute discretion.
(b) In all other cases, namely, in the event that forty
percent (40%) or more of the Improvements located on the Premises have been
taken or destroyed or Grantor does not elect to restore or repair the Trust
Property pursuant to clause (a) above or otherwise fails to meet the
requirements of clause (a) above, then, in any of such events, Beneficiary shall
elect, in Beneficiary's absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy
of Beneficiary's security, to
21
do either of the following: (1) apply the remainder of such sums received
pursuant to this Section to the payment of the Debt in whatever order
Beneficiary directs in its absolute discretion (and, if required under
applicable law so to do, to accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare
any and all of the Debt to be immediately due and payable), with any remainder
being paid to Grantor, or (2) notwithstanding that Grantor may have elected not
to restore or repair the Trust Property pursuant to the provisions of Section
1.9(a)(7) above, require Grantor to restore or repair the Trust Property in the
manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent
interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the deposit by
Grantor with Beneficiary, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, of any
deficiency reasonably determined by Beneficiary to be necessary in order to
assure the availability of sufficient funds to pay for such restoration or
repair, including Beneficiary's costs and expenses to be incurred in connection
therewith, the reasonable prior approval by Beneficiary of plans and
specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the
furnishing to Beneficiary of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts
and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary in its discretion, and apply the
remainder of such sums toward such restoration and repair, with any balance
thereafter remaining being applied by Beneficiary for payment of the Debt in
whatever order Beneficiary directs in its absolute discretion. Notwithstanding
Section 1.9(b)(1) hereof, Beneficiary shall not accelerate the maturity date of
the Note pursuant to Section 1.9(b)(1) if the Mortgaged Property is released
from the lien of this Deed of Trust in connection with a Defeasance (as defined
in the Note) in accordance with Section 1.5(d) of the Note.
Any reduction in the Debt resulting from Beneficiary's application of any sums
received by it hereunder shall take effect only when Beneficiary actually
receives such sums and elects to apply such sums to the Debt and, in any event,
the unpaid portion of the Debt shall remain in full force and effect and Grantor
shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Partial payments received by
Beneficiary, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be applied first to
the final payment due under the Note and thereafter to installments due under
the Note in the inverse order of their due date. If Grantor elects or
Beneficiary directs Grantor to restore or repair the Trust Property after the
occurrence of a casualty or partial taking of the Trust Property as provided
above, Grantor shall promptly and diligently, at Grantor's sole cost and expense
and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds or condemnation award, as
appropriate, shall be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace and
rebuild the Trust Property as nearly as practicable to its value, condition and
character immediately prior to such casualty or partial taking in accordance
with the foregoing provisions and Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary all costs and
expenses of Beneficiary incurred in administering said rebuilding, restoration
or repair, provided that Beneficiary makes such proceeds or award available for
such purpose. Xxxxxxx agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such
further instruments as may be requested by Beneficiary to confirm the foregoing
assignment to Beneficiary of any award, damage, insurance proceeds, payment or
other compensation. Beneficiary is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed
the attorney-in-fact of Grantor (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so
long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an
interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Grantor and
shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Grantor
subsequent to the date hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to the
terms of this Section, to settle for, collect and receive any such awards,
damages, insurance
22
proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making
the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give
receipts and acquittances therefor.
1.10 Construction Liens. Grantor shall pay when due all claims and
demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or
materials delivered for the Premises or the Improvements; provided, however,
that, Grantor shall have the right to contest in good faith any such claim or
demand, so long as it does so diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without
prejudice to Beneficiary and provided that neither the Trust Property nor any
interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result
of such proceeding or contest. In the event Grantor shall contest any such claim
or demand, Grantor shall promptly notify Beneficiary of such contest and
thereafter shall, upon Beneficiary's reasonable request, if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and is continuing, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or
other security sufficient to pay such claim to Beneficiary to protect
Beneficiary's interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful. If
Grantor shall fail to immediately discharge or provide security against any such
claim or demand as aforesaid, Beneficiary may do so and any and all expenses
incurred by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest
Rate from the date incurred by Beneficiary until actually paid by Grantor, shall
be immediately paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the
Debt.
1.11 Rents. As additional and collateral security for the payment
of the Debt and cumulative of any and all rights and remedies herein provided
for, Grantor hereby absolutely and presently assigns to Beneficiary Grantor's
right, title and interest (if any) in all existing and future Rents. Grantor
hereby grants to Beneficiary the sole, exclusive and immediate right, without
taking possession of the Trust Property, to demand, collect (by suit or
otherwise), receive and give valid and sufficient receipts for any and all of
said Rents, for which purpose Grantor does hereby irrevocably make, constitute
and appoint Beneficiary its attorney-in-fact with full power to appoint
substitutes or a trustee to accomplish such purpose (which power of attorney
shall be irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall be
deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution of Grantor and shall not be affected by any disability
or incapacity suffered by Grantor subsequent to the date hereof). Beneficiary
shall be without liability for any loss which may arise from a failure or
inability to collect Rents, proceeds or other payments. However, until the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust or
under any other of the Loan Documents, Grantor shall have a license to collect,
receive, use and enjoy the Rents when due and prepayments thereof for not more
than one (1) month prior to the due date thereof. Upon the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor's license shall automatically
terminate without notice to Grantor and Beneficiary may thereafter, without
taking possession of the Trust Property, collect the Rents itself or by an agent
or receiver. From and after the termination of such license, Grantor shall be
the agent of Beneficiary in collection of the Rents, and all of the Rents so
collected by Grantor shall be held in trust by Grantor for the sole and
exclusive benefit of Beneficiary, and Grantor shall, within three (3) business
days after receipt of any Rents, pay the same to Beneficiary to be applied by
Beneficiary as hereinafter set forth. Neither the demand for or collection of
Rents by Beneficiary shall constitute any assumption by Beneficiary of any
obligations under any agreement relating thereto. Beneficiary is obligated to
account only for such Rents as are actually collected or received by
Beneficiary. Grantor
23
irrevocably agrees and consents that the respective payors of the Rents shall,
upon demand and notice from Beneficiary of the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default, pay said Rents to Beneficiary without liability to determine
the actual existence of any Event of Default claimed by Beneficiary. Grantor
hereby waives any right, claim or demand which Grantor may now or hereafter have
against any such payor by reason of such payment of Rents to Beneficiary, and
any such payment shall discharge such payor's obligation to make such payment to
Grantor. All Rents collected or received by Beneficiary may be applied against
all expenses of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees, against costs of operation and management of the Trust Property and
against the Debt, in whatever order or priority as to any of the items so
mentioned as Beneficiary directs in its sole subjective discretion and without
regard to the adequacy of its security. Neither the exercise by Beneficiary of
any rights under this Section nor the application of any Rents to the Debt shall
cure or be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default. The assignment of Rents
hereinabove granted shall continue in full force and effect during any period of
foreclosure or redemption with respect to the Trust Property. Xxxxxxx has
executed an Assignment of Leases and Rents dated of even date herewith (the
"Assignment") in favor of Beneficiary covering all of the right, title and
interest of Grantor, as landlord, lessor or licensor, in and to any Leases. All
rights and remedies granted to Beneficiary under the Assignment shall be in
addition to and cumulative of all rights and remedies granted to Beneficiary
hereunder.
1.12 Leases.
(a) Prior to execution of any Leases of space in the
Improvements after the date hereof, Grantor shall submit to Beneficiary, for
Beneficiary's prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
a copy of the form Lease Grantor plans to use in leasing space in the
Improvements or at the Trust Property, but only to the extent such form is
materially adversely modified from the form submitted to Beneficiary at or prior
to the date hereof. No further submittals of the form Lease shall be required
unless the form is materially adversely modified from the form most recently
approved by Beneficiary. All such Leases of space in the Improvements or at the
Trust Property shall be on terms consistent with the terms for similar leases in
the market area of the Premises, shall provide for free rent only if the same is
consistent with prevailing market conditions, and shall provide for market rents
then prevailing in the market area of the Premises, and shall be for a term of
not less than three (3) months or greater than one (1) year. Such Leases shall
also provide for security deposits in reasonable amounts consistent with
prevailing market conditions. Grantor shall also submit to Beneficiary for
Beneficiary's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, any
proposed material adverse modification of the form Lease of the Improvements.
Grantor shall not execute any Lease for all or a substantial portion of the
Trust Property, except for an actual occupancy by the Tenant, lessee or licensee
thereunder, and shall at all times promptly and faithfully perform, or cause to
be performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in all
Leases with respect to the Trust Property, now or hereafter existing, on the
part of the landlord, lessor or licensor thereunder to be kept and performed.
Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary, within thirty (30) days after a request by
Beneficiary to do so, but in any event by January 1 of each year, a current Rent
Roll, certified by Grantor as being true and correct, containing the names of
all Tenants with respect to the Trust Property, the terms of their respective
Leases, the spaces
24
occupied and the rentals or fees payable thereunder and the amount of each
Tenant's security deposit.
(b) Grantor shall not do or suffer to be done any act, or
omit to take any action, that might result in a default by the landlord, lessor
or licensor under any such Lease or allow the Tenant thereunder to withhold
payment of rent or cancel or terminate same and shall not further assign any
such Lease or any such Rents. Grantor, at no cost or expense to Beneficiary,
shall enforce, short of termination, the performance and observance of each and
every condition and covenant of each of the parties under such Leases and
Grantor shall not anticipate, discount, release, waive, compromise or otherwise
discharge any rent payable under any of the Leases. Grantor shall not, without
the prior written consent of Beneficiary, modify any of the Leases, terminate or
accept the surrender of any Leases, waive or release any other party from the
performance or observance of any obligation or condition under such Leases
except in the normal course of business in a manner which is consistent with
sound and customary leasing and management practices for similar properties in
the community in which the Trust Property is located. Grantor shall not permit
the prepayment of any rents under any of the Leases for more than one (1) month
prior to the due date thereof.
(c) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default under this Deed of Trust, whether before or after the whole principal
sum secured hereby is declared to be immediately due or whether before or after
the institution of legal proceedings to foreclose this Deed of Trust, forthwith,
upon demand of Beneficiary, Grantor shall surrender to Beneficiary, and
Beneficiary shall be entitled to take actual possession of, the Trust Property
or any part thereof personally, or by its agent or attorneys. In such event,
Beneficiary shall have, and Grantor hereby gives and grants to Beneficiary, the
right, power and authority to make and enter into Leases with respect to the
Trust Property or portions thereof for such rents and for such periods of
occupancy and upon conditions and provisions as Beneficiary may deem desirable
in its sole discretion, and Grantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that the
term of any such Lease may extend beyond the date of any foreclosure sale of the
Trust Property, it being the intention of Grantor that in such event Beneficiary
shall be deemed to be and shall be the attorney-in-fact of Grantor for the
purpose of making and entering into Leases of parts or portions of the Trust
Property for the rents and upon the terms, conditions and provisions deemed
desirable to Beneficiary in its sole discretion and with like effect as if such
Leases had been made by Grantor as the owner in fee simple of the Trust Property
free and clear of any conditions or limitations established by this Deed of
Trust. The power and authority hereby given and granted by Grantor to
Beneficiary shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall not be
revocable by Grantor so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall
survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Grantor and shall not be
affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Grantor subsequent to the
date hereof. In connection with any action taken by Beneficiary pursuant to this
Section, Beneficiary shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Grantor
resulting from any failure to let the Trust Property, or any part thereof, or
from any other act or omission of Beneficiary in managing the Trust Property,
nor shall Beneficiary be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty
or liability under any Lease covering the Trust Property or any part thereof or
under or by reason of this instrument or the exercise of rights or remedies
hereunder. Grantor shall, and does hereby, indemnify Beneficiary for, and hold
Beneficiary harmless from, any and all claims, actions, demands,
25
liabilities, loss or damage which may or might be incurred by Beneficiary under
any such Lease or under this Deed of Trust or by the exercise of rights or
remedies hereunder and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may
be asserted against Beneficiary by reason of any alleged obligations or
undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or
agreements contained in any such Lease other than those finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary. Should Beneficiary incur any
such liability, the amount thereof, including, without limitation, costs,
expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees, together with interest thereon at the
Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Beneficiary until actually paid
by Grantor, shall be immediately due and payable to Beneficiary by Grantor on
demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents
securing all or any part of the Debt. Nothing in this Section shall impose on
Beneficiary any duty, obligation or responsibility for the control, care,
management or repair of the Trust Property, or for the carrying out of any of
the terms and conditions of the Lease, nor shall it operate to make Beneficiary
responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Trust Property by the
Tenants or by any other parties or for any dangerous or defective condition of
the Trust Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or
control of the Trust Property. Grantor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms
any and all actions of Beneficiary with respect to the Trust Property taken
under this Section.
1.13 Alienation and Further Encumbrances.
(a) Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary has relied upon
the principals of Grantor and their experience in owning and operating the Trust
Property and properties similar to the Trust Property in connection with the
closing of the loan evidenced by the Note. Accordingly, except as specifically
allowed hereinbelow in this Section and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 4.6 hereof, in the event that the Trust Property or any
part thereof or interest therein shall be sold, conveyed, disposed of,
alienated, hypothecated, leased (except to Tenants of space in the Improvements
in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.12 hereof and except for
condemnation), assigned, pledged, mortgaged, further encumbered or otherwise
transferred or Grantor shall be divested of its title to the Trust Property or
any interest therein, in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary being first
obtained, which consent may be withheld in Beneficiary's sole discretion, then
the same shall constitute an Event of Default and Beneficiary shall have the
right, at its option, to declare any or all of the Debt, irrespective of the
maturity date specified in the Note, immediately due and payable and to
otherwise exercise any of its other rights and remedies contained in Article III
hereof. For the purposes of this Section: (i) in the event either Grantor or any
of its general partners or members is a corporation or trust, the sale,
conveyance, transfer or disposition of more than 50% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Grantor or any of its general partners or members
or of the beneficial interest of such trust (or the issuance of new shares of
capital stock in Grantor or any of its general partners or managing members so
that immediately after such issuance (in one or a series of transactions) the
total capital stock then issued and outstanding is more than 150% of the total
immediately prior to such issuance) shall be deemed to be a transfer of an
interest in the Trust Property; and (ii) in the event Grantor or any general
partner or managing member of Grantor is a limited or general partnership, a
joint venture or a limited liability company, a change of more than 50% in
26
the ownership interests in any general partner, any joint venturer or any
managing member, either voluntarily, involuntarily or otherwise, or the sale,
conveyance, transfer, disposition, alienation, hypothecation or encumbering of
all or any portion of the interest of any such general partner, joint venturer
or managing member in Grantor or such general partner or managing member
(whether in the form of a beneficial or partnership interest or in the form of a
power of direction, control or management, or otherwise), shall be deemed to be
a transfer of an interest in the Trust Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, (i) limited partnership interests in Grantor or in any general partner
or member of Grantor shall be freely transferable without the consent of
Beneficiary, (ii) any involuntary transfer caused by the death of Grantor or any
general partner, shareholder, joint venturer, member or beneficial owner of a
trust shall not be an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust so long as
Grantor is reconstituted, if required, following such death and so long as those
persons primarily responsible for the management of the Trust Property and
Grantor remain unchanged as a result of such death or any replacement management
is approved by Beneficiary, (iii) shares in the REIT may be offered and sold to
investors in an offering of such shares which has been registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or is exempt from such registration, without
regard to the limits referred to above, and (iv) gifts for estate planning
purposes of any individual's interests in Grantor or in any of Grantor's general
partners, managing members or joint venturers to the spouse or any lineal
descendant of such individual, or to a trust for the benefit of any one or more
of such individual, spouse or lineal descendant, shall not be an Event of
Default under this Deed of Trust so long as Grantor is reconstituted, if
required, following such gift and so long as those persons primarily responsible
for the management of the Trust Property and Grantor remain unchanged following
such gift or any replacement management is approved by Beneficiary.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, Beneficiary shall consent to an unlimited number of sales, conveyances
or transfers of the Trust Property in its entirety, together with all Other
Mortgaged Properties (as defined in Section 4.34 hereof) (hereinafter, each a
"Sale") to any person or entity provided that each of the following terms and
conditions are satisfied as to each Sale:
(1) No Event of Default is then continuing
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents;
(2) Except in the case of a Sale permitted
pursuant to subparagraph (c) below, Grantor, or its successor pursuant
to the proposed or any prior Sale under the terms and conditions
hereof, gives Beneficiary written notice of the terms of such
prospective Sale not less than sixty (60) days before the date on which
such Sale is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, gives
Beneficiary all such information concerning the proposed transferee of
the Trust Property (hereinafter, "Buyer") as Beneficiary would require
in evaluating an initial extension of credit to a borrower under a loan
comparable to the Loan and pays to Beneficiary a non-refundable
application fee in the amount of $5,000. Beneficiary shall have the
right to approve or disapprove the proposed Buyer. In determining
whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed Buyer,
Beneficiary shall consider the Buyer's experience and track record in
owning and operating facilities similar to the Trust Property, the
Buyer's financial strength, the Buyer's general business standing and
the Buyer's relationships and experience with
27
contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders and other business entities;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding Beneficiary's agreement to
consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or
withhold such approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based
on what Beneficiary reasonably determines to be commercially reasonable
in Beneficiary's sole discretion and, if given, may be given subject to
such reasonable conditions as Beneficiary may deem appropriate;
(3) Except in the case of a Sale permitted
pursuant to subparagraph (c) below, Grantor, or its successor pursuant
to a prior Sale under the terms and conditions hereof, pays
Beneficiary, concurrently with the closing of such Sale, a
non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the Sale,
plus an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the then
outstanding principal balance of the Note. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary,
if the aggregate principal balance of the Note, together with the
Contemporaneous Notes, at the time of such sale exceeds $75,000,000.00,
the assumption fee shall be an amount equal to one quarter of one
percent (0.25%);
(4) The Buyer assumes and agrees to pay the Debt
(or ratifies such obligation) subject to the provisions of Section 4.27
hereof and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such Sale, the
Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Beneficiary, such
assumption (or ratification, as applicable) documents and agreements as
Beneficiary shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said
assumption and delivers such legal opinions as Beneficiary may
reasonably require;
(5) The current Indemnitor or its successor
ratifies its obligations under its guaranty or indemnity agreement or a
party associated with the Buyer approved by Beneficiary in its sole
discretion assumes the obligations of the current Indemnitor under its
guaranty or indemnity agreement and such party associated with the
Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Beneficiary, a new
guaranty or indemnity agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Beneficiary and delivers such legal opinions as
Beneficiary may reasonably require;
(6) Upon request if reasonably required,
Grantor, or its successor pursuant to the proposed or any prior Sale
under the terms and conditions hereof, and the Buyer execute, without
any cost or expense to Beneficiary, new financing statements or
financing statement amendments and any additional documents reasonably
requested by Beneficiary;
28
(7) Upon request if reasonably required,
Grantor, or its successor pursuant to the proposed or any prior Sale
under the terms and conditions hereof, delivers to Beneficiary, without
any cost or expense to Beneficiary, such endorsements to Beneficiary's
title insurance policy, hazard insurance policy endorsements or
certificates as Beneficiary may deem reasonably necessary at the time
of the Sale, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Beneficiary, including, without limitation, an endorsement or
endorsements to Beneficiary's title insurance policy insuring the lien
of this Deed of Trust, extending the effective date of such policy to
the date of execution and delivery (or, if later, of recording) of the
assumption agreement referenced above in subparagraph (4) of this
Section, with no additional exceptions added to such policy except
those approved by Beneficiary in its discretion, and insuring that fee
simple title to the Real Property is vested in the Buyer;
(8) Grantor, or its successor pursuant to the
proposed or any prior Sale under the terms and conditions hereof,
executes and delivers to Beneficiary, without any cost or expense to
Beneficiary, a release of Beneficiary, its officers, directors,
employees and agents, from all claims and liability relating to the
transactions evidenced by the Loan Documents, through and including the
date of the closing of the Sale, which agreement shall be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary and shall be binding
upon the Buyer;
(9) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.27
hereof and the provisions of subparagraph (c) of this Section, such
Sale is not construed so as to relieve Grantor, or its successor
pursuant to the proposed or any prior Sale under the terms and
conditions hereof, of any personal liability under the Note or any of
the other Loan Documents for any acts or events occurring or
obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such
Sale, whether or not same is discovered prior or subsequent to the
closing of such Sale, and Grantor, or its successor pursuant to the
proposed or any prior Sale under the terms and conditions hereof,
executes, without any cost or expense to Beneficiary, such documents
and agreements as Beneficiary shall reasonably require to evidence and
effectuate the ratification of said personal liability. Grantor shall
be released from and relieved of any personal liability under the Note
or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or events occurring or
obligations arising after the closing of such Sale which are not caused
by or arising out of any acts or events occurring or obligations
arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such Sale;
(10) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph
(c) below, such Sale is not construed so as to relieve any current
Indemnitor or its successor of its obligations under any guaranty or
indemnity agreement for any acts or events occurring or obligations
arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such Sale, and
each such current Indemnitor executes, without any cost or expense to
Beneficiary, such documents and agreements as Beneficiary shall
reasonably require to evidence and effectuate the ratification of each
such guaranty and indemnity agreement. Each such current Indemnitor
shall be released from and relieved of any of its obligations under any
guaranty or indemnity agreement executed in connection with the loan
secured hereby for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising
after the closing of such Sale which
29
are not caused by or arising out of any acts or events occurring or
obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such
Sale;
(11) The Buyer shall furnish, if the Buyer is a
corporation, partnership or other entity, all documents evidencing the
Buyer's capacity and good standing, and the qualification of the
signers to execute the assumption of the indebtedness secured hereby,
which documents shall include, but not in any way be limited to,
certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and
formation of the Buyer and of the entities, if any, which are partners
of the Buyer. The Buyer and such constituent partners, members or
shareholders of Buyer (as the case may be), as Beneficiary may require,
shall be single-purpose, single-asset "bankruptcy remote" entities,
whose formation documents shall be approved by counsel to Beneficiary.
An individual recommended by the Buyer and approved by Beneficiary
shall serve as an Independent Director (as defined in Section 1.33(z)
of this Deed of Trust) of the Buyer (if the Buyer is a corporation) or
the Buyer's corporate general partner or an independent member or, in
Beneficiary's discretion, manager of Buyer if the Buyer is a limited
liability company. Unanimous consent of the board of directors
(including the Independent Director) shall be required for, among other
things, any merger, consolidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or
insolvency of any such constituent partner, member or shareholder of
the Buyer (as the case may be) or of the Buyer;
(12) The Buyer, if required by Beneficiary and,
in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) herein only if the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan is in excess of $7,500,000, shall furnish
an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Beneficiary and its counsel (i)
that the Buyer's formation documents provide for the matters described
in subparagraph (11) of this Section 1.13(b), (ii) that the assets of
the Buyer will not be consolidated with the assets of any other entity
(including the Buyer's general partner or members, if any), as
applicable, having an interest in, or affiliation with, the Buyer, in
the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of any such entity or such
general partner or members, (iii) that the assumption of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered, and that the Loan Documents are valid, binding and
enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with their terms, (iv) that
the Buyer and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, general
partner or member of Buyer, have been duly organized, and are in
existence and good standing, and (v) with respect to such other
matters, as Beneficiary may request; and
(13) If required under the operative documents
with respect to a Secondary Market Transaction (as hereinafter
defined), Beneficiary shall have received evidence in writing from the
Rating Agency to the effect that the proposed transfer will not result
in a re-qualification, reduction, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating
initially assigned or to be assigned in a Secondary Market Transaction
or, if no such rating has been issued, in Beneficiary's good faith
judgment, such transfer shall not have an adverse effect on the level
of rating obtainable in connection with the loan secured hereby.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any
of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Grantor shall have a one-time free
right to transfer or Sale (including,
30
without limitation, by merger or consolidation or by other disposition of
assets) of the Trust Property and all Other Mortgaged Properties so long as (1)
Grantor gives Beneficiary written notice of the terms of such transfer or sale
not less than thirty (30) days before the date on which such transfer or Sale is
scheduled to close, (2) the Buyer has total assets of at least $750,000,000.00
and financial statements evidencing such value have been presented to
Beneficiary and (3) Grantor shall have submitted, in lieu of the $5,000
application fee stated in subparagraph (b)(2) above, a non-refundable
application fee in the amount of $15,000.00. In the event of any such transfer
or Sale pursuant to this subparagraph (c), the provisions of clauses (2) and (3)
of subparagraph (b) of this Section 1.13 shall not apply.
1.14 Payment of Utilities, Assessments, Charges, Etc. Grantor shall
pay when due all utility charges which are incurred by Grantor or which may
become a charge or lien against any portion of the Trust Property for gas,
electricity, water and sewer services furnished to the Premises and/or the
Improvements and all other assessments or charges of a similar nature (excluding
taxes and assessments escrowed in the Impound Account), or assessments payable
pursuant to any restrictive covenants, whether public or private, affecting the
Premises and/or the Improvements or any portion thereof, whether or not such
assessments or charges are or may become liens thereon. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Grantor may, in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and upon
notice to Beneficiary, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any
asserted utilities, assessments or other charges that may become a charge or
lien against any portion of the Trust Property as long as (a) such contest is
diligently pursued, (b) Beneficiary determines, in its reasonable subjective
opinion, that such contest suspends the obligation to pay such utility charges
or assessments and that non-payment of such charges or assessments will not
result in the sale, loss, forfeiture or diminution of the Trust Property or any
part thereof or any interest of Beneficiary therein, and (c) prior to the
earlier of commencement of such contest or the delinquency date of the asserted
charge or assessment, Grantor deposits the Impound Account an amount determined
by Beneficiary to be reasonably adequate to cover payment of such charge or
assessment and a reasonable additional sum to cover possible interest, costs and
penalties; provided, however, that Grantor shall promptly cause to be paid any
amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction be due, with all interest,

If any of the aforementioned materials are not furnished to Beneficiary
within the applicable time periods or Beneficiary is dissatisfied with the
contents of any of the foregoing and has notified Grantor of its
dissatisfaction, in addition to any other rights and remedies of Beneficiary
contained herein, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation,
after Xxxxxxx's failure to cure such satisfaction within thirty (30) business
days following Grantor's receipt of such notice, to obtain the same by means of
an audit by an independent certified public accountant selected by Beneficiary,
in which event Grantor agrees to pay, or to reimburse Beneficiary for, any
expense of such audit and further agrees to provide all necessary information to
said accountant and to otherwise cooperate in the making of such audit.
1.19 Further Documentation. Grantor shall, on the request of
Beneficiary and at the expense of Grantor: (a) promptly correct any defect,
error or omission which may be discovered in the contents of this Deed of Trust
or in the contents of any of the other Loan Documents; (b) promptly execute,
acknowledge, deliver and record or file such further instruments (including,
without limitation, further mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds, security
agreements, financing statements, continuation statements and assignments of
rents or leases) and promptly do such further acts as may be necessary,
desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Deed of
Trust and the other Loan Documents and to subject to the liens and security
interests hereof and thereof any property intended by the terms hereof and
thereof to be covered hereby and thereby, including specifically, but without
limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements or
appurtenances to the Trust Property; (c) promptly execute, acknowledge, deliver,
procure and record or file any document or instrument (including specifically,
without limitation, any financing statement) reasonably deemed advisable by
Beneficiary to protect, continue or perfect the liens or the security interests
hereunder against the rights or interests of third persons; and (d) promptly
furnish to Beneficiary, upon Beneficiary's request, a duly acknowledged written
statement and estoppel certificate addressed to such party or parties as
directed by Xxxxxxxxxxx and in form and substance supplied by Beneficiary,
setting forth all amounts due under the Note, stating whether any Event of
Default has occurred hereunder and is continuing, and stating whether any
offsets or defenses exist against the Debt.
1.20 Payment of Costs; Reimbursement to Beneficiary. Grantor shall
pay all reasonable costs and expenses of every character reasonably incurred in
connection with the closing of the loan evidenced by the Note and secured hereby
or otherwise attributable or chargeable to Grantor as the owner of the Trust
Property, including, without limitation, appraisal fees, recording fees,
documentary, stamp, mortgage or intangible taxes, brokerage fees and
commissions, title policy premiums and title search fees, uniform commercial
code/tax lien/litigation search fees, escrow fees and reasonable attorneys'
fees. If Grantor defaults in any such payment, which default is not cured within
any applicable grace or cure period, Beneficiary may, after reasonable prior
written notice to Grantor, pay the same and Grantor shall reimburse Beneficiary
on demand for all such costs and expenses incurred or paid by Beneficiary,
together with such interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after
the date of Beneficiary's making such payment until reimbursement thereof by
Grantor. Any such sums disbursed by Beneficiary, together with such interest
thereon, shall be additional indebtedness of Grantor secured by this Deed of
Trust and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the
Debt. Further, Grantor shall promptly notify Beneficiary in writing of any
litigation or
34
threatened litigation affecting the Trust Property, or any other demand or claim
which, if enforced, could impair or threaten to impair Beneficiary's security
hereunder. Without limiting or waiving any other rights and remedies of
Beneficiary hereunder, if Grantor fails to perform any of its covenants or
agreements contained in this Deed of Trust or in any of the other Loan Documents
and such failure is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, or if
any action or proceeding of any kind (including, but not limited to, any
bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other debtor relief
proceeding) is commenced which might adversely affect Beneficiary's interest in
the Trust Property or Beneficiary's right to enforce its security, then
Beneficiary may, at its option, with or without notice to Grantor, make any
appearances, disburse any sums and take any actions as may be necessary or
desirable to protect or enforce the security of this Deed of Trust or to remedy
the failure of Grantor to perform its covenants and agreements (without,
however, waiving any default of Grantor). Xxxxxxx agrees to pay on demand all
expenses of Beneficiary or Trustee incurred with respect to the foregoing
(including, but not limited to, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel),
together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the
date on which Beneficiary or Trustee incurs such expenses until reimbursement
thereof by Grantor. Any such expenses so incurred by Beneficiary, together with
interest thereon as provided above, shall be additional indebtedness of Grantor
secured by this Deed of Trust and by all of the other Loan Documents securing
all or any part of the Debt. The necessity for any such actions and of the
amounts to be paid shall be determined by Beneficiary in its discretion.
Beneficiary is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon
the Trust Property or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or
observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby
becoming liable to Grantor or any person in possession holding under Grantor.
Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this
Section 1.20 shall be exercisable by Beneficiary, and any and all payments made
or costs or expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection therewith shall be
secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Grantor with
interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, notwithstanding the fact that
such remedies were exercised and such payments made and costs incurred by
Beneficiary after the filing by Grantor of a voluntary case or the filing
against Grantor of an involuntary case pursuant to or within the meaning of the
Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, Title 11 U.S.C., or after any similar
action pursuant to any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law,
case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in
effect, which may be or become applicable to Grantor, Beneficiary, any
Indemnitor, the Debt or any of the Loan Documents. Grantor hereby indemnifies
and holds Beneficiary harmless from and against all loss, cost and expenses with
respect to any Event of Default hereof, any liens (i.e., judgments, mechanics'
and materialmen's liens, or otherwise), charges and encumbrances filed against
the Trust Property, and from any claims and demands for damages or injury,
including claims for property damage, personal injury or wrongful death, arising
out of or in connection with any accident or fire or other casualty on the
Premises or the Improvements or any nuisance made or suffered thereon, except
those that are due to Beneficiary's gross negligence or willful misconduct as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, including, without
limitation, in any case, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses as
aforesaid, whether at pretrial, trial or appellate level, and such indemnity
shall survive payment in full of the Debt. This Section shall not be construed
to require Beneficiary to incur any expenses, make any appearances or take any
actions.
35
1.21 Security Interest. This Deed of Trust is also intended to
encumber and create a security interest in, and Grantor hereby grants to
Beneficiary a security interest in, Grantor's right, title and interest in all
sums on deposit with Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.6,
Section 1.8 and Section 1.34 hereof or any other Section hereof or of any other
Loan Document and Grantor's right, title and interest (if any) in all fixtures,
chattels, accounts, equipment, inventory, contract rights, general intangibles
and other personal property included within the Trust Property, all renewals,
replacements of any of the aforementioned items, or articles in substitution
therefor or in addition thereto or the proceeds thereof (said property is
hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Collateral"), whether or not the
same shall be attached to the Premises or the Improvements in any manner. It is
hereby agreed that to the extent permitted by law, all of the foregoing
Collateral consisting of furniture, fixtures and equipment is to be deemed and
held to be a part of and affixed to the Premises and the Improvements. The
foregoing security interest shall also cover Grantor's leasehold interest in any
of the foregoing property which is leased by Grantor. Grantor shall, from time
to time upon the request of Beneficiary, supply Beneficiary with a current
inventory of all of the Collateral in which Beneficiary is granted a security
interest hereunder, in such detail as Beneficiary may reasonably require.
Grantor shall promptly replace all of the Collateral subject to the lien or
security interest of this Deed of Trust when worn or obsolete with Collateral
comparable to the worn out or obsolete Collateral when new and will not, without
the prior written consent of Beneficiary, remove from the Premises or the
Improvements any of the Collateral subject to the lien or security interest of
this Deed of Trust except such as is replaced by an article of similar
suitability and value as above provided, owned by Grantor free and clear of any
lien or security interest except that created by this Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents. All of the Collateral shall be kept at the location of the
Premises except as otherwise required by the terms of the Loan Documents.
Grantor shall not use any of the Collateral in violation of any applicable
statute, ordinance or insurance policy.
1.22 Security Agreement. This Deed of Trust constitutes a security
agreement between Grantor and Beneficiary with respect to the Collateral in
which Beneficiary is granted a security interest hereunder, and, cumulative of
all other rights and remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, Beneficiary shall have
all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform
Commercial Code. Xxxxxxx hereby agrees to execute and deliver on demand and
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary the attorney-in-fact of
Grantor to execute and deliver and, if appropriate, to file with the appropriate
filing officer or office, such security agreements, financing statements,
continuation statements or other instruments as Beneficiary may request or
require in order to impose, perfect or continue the perfection of the lien or
security interest created hereby. To the extent specifically provided herein and
subject to the rights of Tenants under the Leases and the terms and provisions
thereof, Beneficiary shall have the right of possession of all cash, securities,
instruments, negotiable instruments, documents, certificates and any other
evidences of cash or other property or evidences of rights to cash rather than
property, which are now or hereafter a part of the Trust Property, and Grantor
shall promptly deliver the same to Beneficiary, endorsed to Beneficiary, without
further notice from Beneficiary. Xxxxxxx agrees to furnish Beneficiary with
notice of any change in the name, identity, organizational structure, residence,
or principal place of business or mailing address of Grantor within ten (10)
days of the effective date of any such change. Upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default, Beneficiary shall have the rights and remedies as prescribed in this
Deed
36
of Trust, or as prescribed by general law, or as prescribed by any applicable
Uniform Commercial Code, all at Beneficiary's election. Any disposition of the
Collateral following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default may
be conducted by an employee or agent of Beneficiary. Any person, including both
Grantor and Beneficiary, shall be eligible to purchase any part or all of the
Collateral at any such disposition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for
sale, selling or the like (including, without limitation, Beneficiary's
reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses), together with interest thereon
at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Beneficiary until
actually paid by Grantor, shall be paid by Grantor on demand and shall be
secured by this Deed of Trust and by all of the other Loan Documents securing
all or any part of the Debt. Beneficiary shall have the right to enter upon the
Premises and the Improvements or any real property where any of the property
which is the subject of the security interest granted herein is located to take
possession of, assemble and collect the same or to render it unusable, or
Grantor, upon demand of Beneficiary, shall assemble such property and make it
available to Beneficiary at the Premises, or at a place which is mutually agreed
upon or, if no such place is agreed upon, at a place reasonably designated by
Beneficiary to be reasonably convenient to Beneficiary and Grantor. If notice is
required by law, Beneficiary shall give Grantor at least ten (10) days' prior
written notice of the time and place of any public sale of such property, or
adjournments thereof, or of the time of or after which any private sale or any
other intended disposition thereof is to be made, and if such notice is sent to
Grantor, as the same is provided for the mailing of notices herein, it is hereby
deemed that such notice shall be and is reasonable notice to Grantor. No such
notice is necessary for any such property which is perishable, threatens to
decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market. Any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed
to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held
contemporaneously with a foreclosure sale as provided in Section 3.1(e) hereof
upon giving the same notice with respect to the sale of the Trust Property
hereunder as is required under said Section 3.1(e). Furthermore, to the extent
permitted by law, in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for the
rights and remedies available to Beneficiary pursuant to any applicable Uniform
Commercial Code:
(a) In the event of a foreclosure sale, the Trust
Property may, at the option of Beneficiary, be sold as a whole; and
(b) It shall not be necessary that Beneficiary take
possession of the aforementioned Collateral, or any part thereof, prior to the
time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section is conducted and
it shall not be necessary that said Collateral, or any part thereof, be present
at the location of such sale; and
(c) Beneficiary may appoint or delegate any one or more
persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale
held by Beneficiary, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the
sale, but in the name and on behalf of Beneficiary.

1.23 Easements and Rights-of-Way. Grantor shall not grant any
easement or right-of-way with respect to all or any portion of the Premises or
the Improvements without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The purchaser at any foreclosure sale
hereunder may, at its discretion, disaffirm any easement or right-of-way granted
in violation of any of the provisions of this Deed of Trust and may take
immediate possession of the Trust Property free from, and despite the terms of,
such grant of easement or right-of-way. If Beneficiary consents to the grant of
an easement or right-of-way, Beneficiary agrees to grant such consent without
charge to Grantor other than reasonable expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Beneficiary in the review of Grantor's
request and in the preparation of documents effecting the subordination.
1.24 Compliance with Laws. (a) Grantor shall at all times comply
with all statutes, ordinances, regulations and other governmental or
quasi-governmental requirements and private covenants now or hereafter relating
to the ownership, construction, use or operation of the Trust Property,
including, but not limited to, those concerning employment and compensation of
persons engaged in operation and maintenance of the Trust Property and any
environmental or ecological requirements, even if such compliance shall require
structural changes to the Trust Property; provided, however, that, Grantor may,
upon providing Beneficiary with security satisfactory to Beneficiary, proceed
diligently and in good faith to contest the validity or applicability of any
such statute, ordinance, regulation or requirement so long as during such
contest the Trust Property shall not be subject to any lien, charge, fine or
other liability and shall not be in danger of being forfeited, lost or closed.
Grantor shall not use or occupy, or allow the use or occupancy of, the Trust
Property in any manner which violates any Lease of or any other agreement
applicable to the Trust Property or any applicable law, rule, regulation or
order or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void,
voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force
with respect thereto.
(b) Grantor agrees that the Trust Property shall at all
times comply to the extent applicable with the requirements of the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and all
other state and local laws and ordinances related to handicapped access and all
rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant thereto including,
38
without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines
for Buildings and Facilities (collectively, the "Access Laws"). Xxxxxxx agrees
to give prompt notice to Beneficiary of the receipt by Grantor of any complaints
related to violations of any Access Laws and of the commencement of any
proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with applicable Access
Laws.
1.25 Additional Taxes. In the event of the enactment after the date
hereof of any law of the state in which the Trust Property is located or of any
other governmental entity deducting from the value of the Trust Property for the
purpose of taxing any lien or security interest thereon, or imposing upon
Beneficiary the payment of the whole or any part of the taxes or assessments or
charges or liens herein required to be paid by Grantor, or changing in any way
the laws relating to the taxation of deeds of trust, mortgages or security
agreements or debts secured by deeds of trust, mortgages or security agreements
or the interest of the beneficiary, Beneficiary or secured party in the property
covered thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, so as to adversely
affect this Deed of Trust or the Debt or Beneficiary, then, and in any such
event, Grantor, upon demand by Beneficiary, shall pay such taxes, assessments,
charges or liens, or reimburse Beneficiary therefor; provided, however, that if
in the opinion of counsel for Beneficiary (a) it might be unlawful to require
Grantor to make such payment, or (b) the making of such payment might result in
the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by law, then and
in either such event, Beneficiary may elect, by notice in writing given to
Grantor, to declare all of the Debt to be and become due and payable in full
thirty (30) days from the giving of such notice, and, in connection with the
payment of such Debt, no prepayment premium or fee shall be due unless, at the
time of such payment, an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and
is continuing, which Default or Event of Default is unrelated to the provisions
of this Section 1.25, in which event any applicable prepayment premium or fee in
accordance with the terms of the Note shall be due and payable.
1.26 Secured Indebtedness. It is understood and agreed that this
Deed of Trust shall secure payment of not only the indebtedness evidenced by the
Note but also any and all substitutions, replacements, renewals and extensions
of the Note, any and all indebtedness and obligations arising pursuant to the
terms hereof and any and all indebtedness and obligations arising pursuant to
the terms of any of the other Loan Documents, all of which indebtedness is
equally secured with and has the same priority as any amounts advanced as of the
date hereof. It is agreed that any future advances made by Beneficiary to or for
the benefit of Grantor from time to time under this Deed of Trust or the other
Loan Documents and whether or not such advances are obligatory or are made at
the option of Beneficiary, or otherwise, made for any purpose, within twenty
(20) years from the date hereof, and all interest accruing thereon, shall be
equally secured by this Deed of Trust and shall have the same priority as all
amounts, if any, advanced as of the date hereof and shall be subject to all of
the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust.
1.27 Grantor's Waivers. To the full extent permitted by law,
Xxxxxxx agrees that Grantor shall not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or
take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for
any appraisement, valuation, stay, moratorium or extension, or any law now or
hereafter in force providing for the reinstatement of the Debt prior to any sale
of the Trust Property to be made pursuant to any provisions contained herein or
prior to the entering of any decree, judgment or order of any court of competent
jurisdiction, or any
39
right under any statute to redeem all or any part of the Trust Property so sold.
Grantor, for Grantor and Xxxxxxx's successors and assigns, and for any and all
persons ever claiming any interest in the Trust Property, to the full extent
permitted by law, hereby knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily, with and upon
the advice of competent counsel: (a) waives, releases, relinquishes and forever
forgoes all rights of valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, reinstatement
and notice of election or intention to mature or declare due the Debt (except
such notices as are specifically provided for herein); (b) waives, releases,
relinquishes and forever forgoes all right to a marshaling of the assets of
Grantor, including the Trust Property, to a sale in the inverse order of
alienation, or to direct the order in which any of the Trust Property shall be
sold in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby
created and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such liens
and security interests may order the Trust Property sold as an entirety; and (c)
waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all rights and periods of
redemption provided under applicable law. To the full extent permitted by law,
Grantor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law
pertaining to the exemption of homestead or other exemption under any federal,
state or local law now or hereafter in effect, the administration of estates of
decedents or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of
Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust to a sale of the Trust
Property, for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort
for collection, or the right of Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of
Trust to the payment of the Debt out of the proceeds of sale of the Trust
Property in preference to every other claimant whatever. Furthermore, Grantor
hereby knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily, with and upon the advice of
competent counsel, waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all
present and future statutes of limitations as a defense to any action to enforce
the provisions of this Deed of Trust or to collect any of the Debt to the
fullest extent permitted by law. Grantor covenants and agrees that upon the
commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against
Grantor, Grantor shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise shall not seek
pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy
Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether
statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever,
now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay,
interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Beneficiary to enforce
any rights of Beneficiary against any guarantor or indemnitor of the secured
obligations or any other party liable with respect thereto by virtue of any
indemnity, guaranty or otherwise.

Property, Beneficiary may act immediately and without first giving such notice.
In such event, Beneficiary will give Grantor notice of such action as soon
thereafter as reasonably practical.
1.30 Management. The management of the Trust Property shall be by
either: (a) Grantor, the REIT or an entity affiliated with Grantor or the REIT
reasonably approved by Beneficiary for so long as Grantor or said affiliated
entity is managing the Trust Property consistent with the provisions of the Loan
Documents; or (b) a professional property management company reasonably approved
by Beneficiary. If management is by a third-party professional property
management company not affiliated with Grantor or the REIT, such management
shall be pursuant to a written agreement reasonably approved by Beneficiary. In
no event shall any manager be removed or replaced or the terms of any management
agreement materially adversely modified or amended without the prior written
consent of Beneficiary. After an Event of Default or a material default under
any management contract then in effect, which default is not cured within any
applicable grace or cure period, Beneficiary shall have the right to terminate,
or to direct Grantor to terminate, such management contract upon thirty (30)
days' notice and to retain, or to direct Grantor to retain, a new management
agent reasonably approved by Beneficiary. All Rents generated by or derived from
the Trust Property shall first be utilized for current expenses attributable to
the ownership and operation of the Trust Property, including, without
limitation, current expenses relating to Grantor's liabilities and obligations
with respect to this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, and none of the
Rents generated by or derived from the Trust Property shall be diverted by
Grantor and utilized for any other purposes until all such current expenses
attributable to the ownership and operation of the Trust Property have been
fully paid and satisfied.

not used by or within the control of Grantor; (ii) to the best of Grantor's
knowledge, information and belief, no hazardous, toxic or harmful substances,
wastes, materials, pollutants or contaminants (including, without limitation,
materials containing more than 1% asbestos, lead based paint, polychlorinated
biphenyls, petroleum or petroleum products or byproducts, flammable explosives,
radioactive materials, infectious substances or raw materials which include
hazardous constituents) or any other substances or materials which are included
under or regulated by Environmental Laws (collectively, "Hazardous Substances")
are located on, in or under or have been handled, generated, stored, processed
or disposed of on or released or discharged from the Trust Property (including
underground contamination), except for those substances used by Grantor or any
Tenant in the ordinary course of their respective businesses and in compliance
with all Environmental Laws and where such would not reasonably be expected to
give rise to liability under Environmental Laws; (iii) to the best of Grantor's
knowledge, information and belief, radon is not present at the Trust Property in
excess or in violation of any applicable thresholds or standards or in amounts
that require under applicable law disclosure to any tenant or occupant of or

of Grantor's knowledge and belief, there exists no investigation, action,
proceeding or claim by any agency, authority or unit of government or by any
third party which could result in any liability, penalty, sanction or judgment
under any Environmental Laws with respect to any condition, use or operation of
the Trust Property, nor does Grantor know of any basis for such an
investigation, action, proceeding or claim; (viii) Grantor has received no
notice
42
of and, to the best of Xxxxxxx's knowledge and belief, there has been no claim
by any party that any use, operation or condition of the Trust Property has
caused any nuisance or any other liability or adverse condition on any other
property, nor does Grantor know of any basis for such an investigation, action,
proceeding or claim.
(b) Grantor has not received nor to the best of Grantor's
knowledge, information and belief has there been issued, any notice,
notification, demand, request for information, citation, summons, or order in
any way relating to any actual, alleged or potential violation or liability
arising under Environmental Laws.
(c) To the best of Grantor's knowledge, information and
belief, the Trust Property is not listed or, to the best of Grantor's knowledge,
information and belief, proposed for listing on the National Priorities List
promulgated pursuant to CERCLA, on CERCLIS (as defined in CERCLA) or on any
similar federal or state list of sites requiring environmental investigation or
clean-up.
(d) Grantor shall comply with all applicable
Environmental Laws. Grantor shall keep or cause the Trust Property to be kept
free from Hazardous Substances (except those substances used by Grantor or any
Tenant in the ordinary course of their respective businesses and except in
compliance with all Environmental Laws and where such would not reasonably be
expected to give rise to liability under Environmental Laws) and in compliance
with all Environmental Laws, Grantor shall not install or use any underground
storage tanks, shall expressly prohibit the use, generation, handling, storage,
production, processing and disposal of Hazardous Substances by all Tenants in
quantities or conditions that would violate or give rise to any obligation to
take remedial or other action under any applicable Environmental Laws. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the term of this Deed of Trust,
Grantor shall not install in the Improvements or permit to be installed in the
Improvements any asbestos or asbestos-containing materials.
(e) Grantor shall promptly notify Beneficiary if Grantor
shall become aware of (i) the actual or potential existence of any Hazardous
Substances on the Trust Property other than those occurring in the ordinary
course of Grantor's business and which do not violate, or would not otherwise
give rise to liability under Environmental Laws, (ii) any direct or indirect
violation of, or other exposure to liability under, any Environmental Laws,
(iii) any lien, action or notice affecting the Trust Property or Grantor
resulting from any violation or alleged violation of or liability or alleged
liability under any Environmental Laws, (iv) the institution of any
investigation, inquiry or proceeding concerning Grantor or the Trust Property
pursuant to any Environmental Laws or otherwise relating to Hazardous
Substances, or (v) the discovery of any occurrence, condition or state of facts
which would render any representation or warranty contained in this Deed of
Trust incorrect in any material respect if made at the time of such discovery.
Immediately upon receipt of same, Grantor, shall deliver to Beneficiary copies
of any and all requests for information, complaints, citations, summonses,
orders, notices, reports or other communications, documents or instruments in
any way relating to any actual, alleged or potential violation or liability of
any nature whatsoever arising under Environmental Laws and relating to the Trust
Property or to Grantor. Grantor shall remedy or cause to be remedied in a timely
manner (and in any event within the time period permitted by applicable
Environmental
43
Laws) any violation of Environmental Laws or any condition that could give rise
to liability under Environmental Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, Grantor
shall, at its own expense, take all actions as required by applicable
Environmental Laws, for the clean-up of any and all portions of the Trust
Property or other affected property, including, without limitation, all
investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in
accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (and in all events in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary) and shall further pay or cause to be
paid, at no expense to Beneficiary, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement
costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted against the
Trust Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor may, in good faith, by
appropriate proceedings and upon notice to Beneficiary, contest the validity or
applicability of any such Environmental Laws to any portion of the Trust
Property as long as (a) such contest is diligently pursued, (b) Beneficiary
determines, in its reasonable subjective opinion, that such contest suspends the
requirement for Grantor to comply with such Environmental Laws. Prior to the
earlier commencement of such contest or the delinquency date of any asserted
costs related thereto, Grantor shall deposit into the Impound Account an amount
determined by Beneficiary to the reasonably adequate covered payment of such
costs and a reasonable additional sum to cover possible interest, costs and
penalties; provided, however, that Grantor shall promptly cause to be paid any
amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction be due, with all interest,
costs and penalties thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; and
provided, further, that in any event such contest shall be concluded and the
charges or assessments shall be paid prior to the date any writ or order is
issued under which the Trust Property may be sold, lost or forfeited. In the
event Grantor fails to do so, Beneficiary may, if required by Environmental Laws
(and after reasonable prior written notice to Grantor), but shall not be
obligated to, cause the Trust Property or other affected property to be freed
from any Hazardous Substances or otherwise brought into conformance with
Environmental Laws and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in
connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest
Rate from the date incurred by Beneficiary until actually paid by Grantor, shall
be immediately paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the
Debt. Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary and its agents and employees access
to the Trust Property and a license to remove any items deemed by Beneficiary to
be Hazardous Substances and to do all things Beneficiary shall deem necessary to
bring the Trust Property into conformance with Environmental Laws.
(f) Grantor covenants and agrees, at Grantor's sole cost
and expense, to indemnify, defend (at trial and appellate levels, and with
attorneys, consultants and experts reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary), and
hold Beneficiary harmless from and against any and all liens, damages (including
without limitation, punitive or exemplary damages), losses, liabilities
(including, without limitation, strict liability), obligations, settlement
payments, penalties, fines, assessments, citations, directives, claims,
litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs,
disbursements or expenses of any kind as required by applicable Environmental
Laws or of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys', consultants' and experts' fees and disbursements actually incurred
in investigating, defending, settling or prosecuting any claim, litigation or
proceeding) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or
awarded against Beneficiary or the Trust Property, and arising from or out of:
(i) any violation or alleged violation of, or liability or alleged liability
under, any Environmental Law; (ii) the presence, release or threat of release of
44
or exposure to any Hazardous Substances or radon on, in, under or affecting all
or any portion of the Trust Property or any surrounding areas, regardless of
whether or not caused by or within the control of Grantor; (iii) any transport,
treatment, recycling, storage, disposal or arrangement therefor of Hazardous
Substances whether on the Trust Property, originating from the Trust Property,
or otherwise associated with Grantor or any operations conducted on the Trust
Property at any time; (iv) the failure by Grantor to comply fully with the terms
and conditions of this Section 1.31; (v) the breach of any representation or
warranty contained in this Section 1.31 in any material respect; (vi) the
enforcement of this Section 1.31, including, without limitation, the cost of
assessment, investigation, containment, removal and/or remediation of any and
all Hazardous Substances from all or any portion of the Trust Property or any
surrounding areas as required by applicable Environmental Laws, the cost of any
actions taken in response to the presence, release or threat of release of any
Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting any portion of the Trust
Property or any surrounding areas to prevent or minimize such release or threat
of release so that it does not migrate or otherwise cause or threaten danger to
present or future public health, safety, welfare or the environment, and costs
incurred to comply with Environmental Laws in connection with all or any portion
of the Trust Property or any surrounding areas. The indemnity set forth in this
Section 1.31 shall also include any diminution in the value of the security
afforded by the Trust Property or any future reduction in the sales price of the
Trust Property by reason of any matter set forth in this Section 1.31. The
foregoing indemnity shall specifically not include any such costs relating to
Hazardous Substances which are initially placed on, in or under the Trust
Property after foreclosure or other taking of title to the Trust Property by
Beneficiary or its successor or assigns. Beneficiary's rights under this Section
shall survive payment in full of the Debt and shall be in addition to all other
rights of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, the Note and the other Loan
Documents.
(g) Upon Beneficiary's request, at any time during the
continuance of an Event of Default or at such other time as Beneficiary has
reasonable grounds to believe, and so notifies Grantor, that Hazardous
Substances are or have been released, stored or disposed of on the Trust
Property, or on property contiguous with the Trust Property, or that the Trust
Property may be in violation of the Environmental Laws, Grantor shall perform or
cause to be performed, at Grantor's sole cost and expense and in scope, form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, an inspection or audit of the
Trust Property prepared by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other
appropriate consultant approved by Beneficiary indicating the presence or
absence of Hazardous Substances on the Trust Property, the compliance or
non-compliance status of the Trust Property and the operations conducted thereon
with applicable Environmental Laws, or an inspection or audit of the Trust
Property prepared by an engineering or consulting firm reasonably approved by
Beneficiary indicating the presence or absence of friable asbestos or substances
containing asbestos in excess of 1% or lead or substances containing lead or
lead based paint ("Lead Based Paint") on the Trust Property. If Grantor fails to
provide reports of such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such
request, Beneficiary may order the same, and Grantor hereby grants to
Beneficiary and its employees and agents access to the Trust Property and an
irrevocable license to undertake such inspection or audit. The cost of such
inspection or audit, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate
from the date incurred by Beneficiary until actually paid by Grantor, shall be
immediately paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust
and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.
45
(h) Reference is made to that certain Environmental
Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith by and among Grantor, the REIT and
Beneficiary (the "Environmental Indemnity Agreement"). The provisions of this
Deed of Trust and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement shall be read together
to maximize the coverage with respect to the subject matter thereof, as
determined by Beneficiary.
(i) If, prior to the date hereof, it was determined that
the Trust Property contains Lead Based Paint, Grantor had prepared an assessment
report describing the location and condition of the Lead Based Paint (a "Lead
Based Paint Report"). If, at any time hereafter, Lead Based Paint is suspected
of being present on the Trust Property, Grantor agrees, at its sole cost and
expense and within sixty (60) days thereafter, to cause to be prepared a Lead
Based Paint Report prepared by an expert, and in form, scope and substance,
acceptable to Beneficiary.
(j) Grantor agrees that if it has been, or if at any time
hereafter it is, determined that the Trust Property contains Lead Based Paint,
on or before thirty (30) days following (i) the date hereof, if such
determination was made prior to the date hereof or (ii) such determination, if
such determination is hereafter made, as applicable, Grantor shall, at its sole
cost and expenses, develop and implement, and thereafter diligently and
continuously carry out (or cause to be developed and implemented and thereafter
diligently and continually to be carried out), an operations, abatement and
maintenance plan for the Lead Based Paint on the Trust Property, which plan
shall be prepared by an expert, and be in form, scope and substance, acceptable
to Beneficiary (together with any Lead Based Paint Report, the "O&M Plan"). (If
an O&M Plan has been prepared prior to the date hereof, Xxxxxxx agrees to
diligently and continually carry out (or cause to be carried out) the provisions
thereof.) Compliance with the O&M Plan shall require or be deemed to require,
without limitation, the proper preparation and maintenance of all records,
papers and forms required under the Environmental Laws.
1.32 Indemnification; Subrogation.
(a) Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold Beneficiary
harmless against: (i) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or
similar fees which may be made relating to the Trust Property or the Debt, and
(ii) any and all liability, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims,
actions, suits, costs and expenses (including Beneficiary's reasonable
attorneys' fees) of whatever kind or nature which may be asserted against,
imposed on or incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the Debt, this Deed of
Trust, the Trust Property, or any part thereof, or the exercise by Beneficiary
of any rights or remedies granted to it under this Deed of Trust; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Grantor to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Beneficiary from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits,
costs and expenses enacted against, imposed on or incurred by Beneficiary by
reason of Beneficiary's willful misconduct or gross negligence or in connection
with Beneficiary effecting a Secondary Market Transaction.
(b) If Beneficiary is made a party defendant to any
litigation or any claim is threatened or brought against Beneficiary concerning
the making or enforcement of the Debt, this Deed of Trust, the Trust Property,
or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or the
46
construction, maintenance, operation or occupancy or use thereof, then Grantor
shall indemnify, defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against all
liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in any such litigation or
claim, whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment. If
Beneficiary commences an action against Grantor to enforce any of the terms
hereof or to prosecute any breach by Grantor of any of the terms hereof or to
recover any sum secured hereby, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary its reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses. The right to such attorneys' fees and expenses
shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action, and shall be
enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. If Grantor
breaches any term of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may engage the services of
an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and in the event of
such engagement following any breach by Grantor, Grantor shall pay Beneficiary
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Beneficiary, whether or not
an action is actually commenced against Grantor by reason of such breach. All
references to "attorneys" in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Deed of Trust
shall include, without limitation, any attorney or law firm engaged by
Xxxxxxxxxxx and Beneficiary's in-house counsel, and all references to "fees and
expenses" in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Deed of Trust shall include,
without limitation, any fees of such attorney or law firm, any appellate counsel
fees, if applicable, and any allocation charges and allocation costs of
Beneficiary's in-house counsel.
(c) A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by Grantor
from its insurance carrier and, consequently, Grantor waives any and all right
to claim or recover against Beneficiary, its officers, employees, agents and
representatives, for loss of or damage to Grantor, the Trust Property, Grantor's
property or the property of others under Grantor's control from any cause
insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of this Deed
of Trust.

covenants as of the date hereof and until such time as the Debt is paid in full,
that Grantor has been, is, and shall remain a Single-Purpose Entity (as
hereinafter defined). Grantor has complied and will at all times comply, or if
Grantor is a limited partnership or a limited liability company, each general
partner or the SPE Member (as hereinafter defined) of Grantor (each, an "SPE
Equity Owner"), has complied, will at all times comply, and will cause Grantor
to comply, with each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained
in this Section 1.33 as if such representation, warranty or covenant was made

Secondary Market Transaction, two Independent Directors, and must not take any
action that, under the terms of any certificate or articles of incorporation,
by-laws, or any voting trust agreement with respect to such entity's common
stock, requires the unanimous affirmative vote of 100% of the members of the
board of directors unless all of the directors, including, without limitation,

organized. Grantor may be a single member Delaware limited liability company
without an SPE Corporation managing member so long as Grantor has two "special
members" who shall serve as Independent Directors of Grantor; provided, however,
the foregoing Independent Director requirement shall not apply unless and until
a Sale and pursuant to the requirements of Section 1.13(b)(11) hereof;
(d) was and will be organized solely for the purpose of
(i) owning an interest in the Trust Property and the Other Mortgaged Properties,

manner which adversely affects Grantor's existence as a single purpose entity,
bankruptcy-remote entity;

with third parties other than an affiliate;
(k) has not incurred and will not incur any debt, secured
or unsecured, direct or contingent (including guaranteeing any obligation),
other than (i) the Debt, (ii) affiliate advances or trade payables or accrued

(30) days in an aggregate amount, as to the Trust Property or each of Other

1.34 Repair and Remediation Reserve Prior to the execution of this
Deed of Trust, Beneficiary has caused the Trust Property to be inspected and
such inspection has revealed that the Trust Property is in need of certain
maintenance, repairs and/or remedial or corrective work. Contemporaneously with
the execution hereof, Xxxxxxx has established with the Beneficiary a reserve in
the amount of $2,250.00 (the "Repair and Remediation Reserve") by depositing
such amount with Beneficiary. Grantor shall cause each of the items described in
that certain Engineering Report (the "Engineering Report") entitled Property
Condition Report, dated November 21, 2000 and prepared by Dominion Environmental
Group (the "Deferred Maintenance") to be completed, performed, remediated and
corrected to the satisfaction of Beneficiary and as necessary to bring the Trust
Property into compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations on or before the expiration of six (6) months after the effective
date hereof, as such time period may be extended by Beneficiary in its sole
discretion. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all
sums in the Repair and Remediation Reserve shall be held by Beneficiary in the
Repair and Remediation Reserve to pay the costs and expenses of completing the
Deferred Maintenance. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Beneficiary shall, to the extent funds are available for such
purpose in the Repair and Remediation Reserve, disburse to Grantor the amount
paid or incurred by Grantor in completing, performing, remediating or correcting
the Deferred Maintenance or, if greater, the amount reserved for the applicable
Deferred Maintenance item, upon (a) the receipt by Beneficiary of a written
request from Grantor for disbursement from the Repair and Remediation Reserve
and a certification by Grantor that the applicable item of Deferred Maintenance
has been completed in accordance with the terms of this Deed of Trust, (b)
delivery to Beneficiary of invoices, receipts, cancelled checks or other
evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary verifying the costs of the Deferred
Maintenance to be reimbursed, (c) for disbursement requests for individual items
costing in excess of $50,000.00, delivery to Beneficiary of a certification from
a third party reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary describing the completed work
and (d) for disbursement requests for individual items costing in excess of
$50,000.00, delivery to Beneficiary of affidavits, lien waivers, cancelled
checks or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary showing that all
materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could
claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished
materials or labor to the Trust Property have been paid all amounts due for such
labor and materials furnished to the Trust Property. Beneficiary shall not
51
be required to make advances from the Repair and Remediation Reserve more
frequently than twice in any ninety (90) day period. In making any payment from
the Repair and Remediation Reserve, Beneficiary shall be entitled to rely on
such request from Grantor without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or
contestability of any such amount. Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary a
power-of-attorney, coupled with an interest, to cause the Deferred Maintenance
to be completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of
Beneficiary following the expiration of the six-month period referred to in this
subparagraph and upon Grantor's failure to do so in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Section 1.34, and to apply the amounts on deposit in the
Repair and Remediation Reserve to the costs associated therewith, all as
Beneficiary may determine in its sole and absolute discretion but without
obligation to do so. Funds contained in the Repair and Remediation Reserve shall
be placed in an interest-bearing account upon receipt and interest thereon shall
be paid to Grantor as and when amounts are paid to Grantor and in no event later
than six (6) months after the date hereof.
1.35 ERISA.
(a) Grantor shall not engage in any transaction which
would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the
exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights under the Note, this Deed of Trust
or any of the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or
administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.
(b) Grantor further covenants and agrees to deliver to
Beneficiary such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout
the term of this Deed of Trust, as requested by Beneficiary in its sole
discretion, that (i) Grantor is not an "employee benefit plan" as defined in
Section 3(32) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a "governmental
plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA; (ii) Grantor is not subject
to state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect
to governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is
true:
(1) Equity interests in Grantor are publicly offered
securities within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(b)(2);
(2) Less than 25 percent of each outstanding class of
equity interests in Grantor are held by "benefit plan investors" within
the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(f)(2); or
(3) Grantor qualifies as an "operating company" within
the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 or an investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
(c) Grantor shall indemnify Beneficiary and defend and
hold Beneficiary harmless from and against all civil penalties, excise taxes, or
other loss, cost damage and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements and costs incurred in the investigation,
defense and settlement of claims and losses incurred in correcting any
prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any
individual
52
prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in
Beneficiary's sole discretion) that Beneficiary may incur, directly or
indirectly, as a result of a default under this Section. This indemnity shall
survive any termination, satisfaction or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust.
1.36 Springing Lock-Box Account. At Beneficiary's election
following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or if the debt
service coverage ratio of the Trust Property and all Other Mortgaged Properties
falls below 1.15:1, as determined by Beneficiary, Beneficiary may require
Grantor to enter into one or more clearing and deposit agreements acceptable to
Beneficiary between Grantor, Beneficiary and one or more certain financial
institutions (which may be Beneficiary or an affiliate or subsidiary of
Beneficiary) acceptable to Beneficiary (together with any modification,
amendment, substitution or replacement thereof, hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Lock-Box Agreement") in Beneficiary's then current form
which shall provide, among other things, that all Rents and other sums collected
from, or arising with respect to, the Trust Property be deposited in the deposit
account (the "Lock-Box Account") established in connection with such Lock-Box
Agreement, which may be an interest-bearing account, and that such amounts shall
be disbursed in accordance with the Lock-Box Agreement. Grantor shall not have a
right of withdrawal in respect to the Lock-Box Account. Grantor shall pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in creating and maintaining the Lock-Box
Agreement and all of Beneficiary's reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Lock-Box Agreement.
Immediately following Beneficiary's election to require that Grantor establish
the Lock-Box Account, Grantor shall deliver to Beneficiary for delivery, at
Grantor's expense, by certified mail, return receipt requested, to all Tenants
of the Trust Property an irrevocable written notice in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit D (or such other form as may be attached to the Lock-Box Agreement)
directing such tenants to pay their rent and other amounts due under their
leases to the depository under the Lock-Box Agreement for deposit into the
Lock-Box Account. Additionally, each Lease executed on or after the date of the
Lock-Box Agreement affecting any of the Premises or Improvements must provide,
in a manner approved by Beneficiary, that the Tenant is required to make all
payments due to Grantor under the terms of such lease, license or occupancy
agreement to the depository of the Lock-Box Account by check, cashiers check or
money order made payable to Beneficiary or its successors or assigns. Upon the
occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, Beneficiary shall apply any
sums then held pursuant to the Lock-Box Agreement (other than security deposits)
to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. Until expended
or applied, amounts held in the Lock-Box Account pursuant to the Lock-Box
Agreement (other than security deposits) shall constitute additional security
for the Debt. The Lock-Box Agreement, when and if executed, shall be a "Loan
Document" for all purposes under the Note, this Deed of Trust and the other Loan
Documents. Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary the
attorney-in-fact of Grantor, coupled with an interest, to, upon Xxxxxxx's
failure to do so in accordance with the terms hereof, without notice to Grantor,
execute and deliver the Lock-Box Agreement and the notices to tenants described
in this Section 1.36 and to take any other action reasonably necessary or
desirable in Beneficiary's judgment to carry out the intention of this Section
1.36.

ARTICLE III.
REMEDIES
3.1 Remedies Available. If there shall occur and be continuing an
Event of Default under this Deed of Trust, then this Deed of Trust is subject to
foreclosure as provided by law and Beneficiary may, at its option and by or
through a trustee, nominee, assignee or otherwise (including, without
limitation, the Trustee), to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise any
or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses, either successively or
concurrently:
(a) Acceleration. Accelerate the maturity date of the
Note and declare any or all of the Debt to be immediately due and payable
without any presentment, demand, protest, notice or action of any kind whatever
(each of which is hereby expressly waived by Grantor), whereupon the same shall
become immediately due and payable. Upon any such acceleration, payment of such
accelerated amount shall constitute a prepayment of the principal balance of the
Note and any applicable prepayment fee provided for in the Note shall then be
immediately due and payable.
(b) Entry on the Trust Property. Either in person or by
agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver
appointed by a court and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter
upon and take possession of the Trust Property, or any part thereof, without
force or with such force as is permitted by law and without notice or process or
with such notice or process as is required by law, unless such notice and
process is waivable, in which case Grantor hereby waives such notice and
process, and do any and all acts and perform any and all work which may be
desirable or necessary in Beneficiary's judgment to complete any unfinished
construction on the Premises, to preserve the value, marketability or
rentability of the Trust Property, to increase the income therefrom, to manage
and operate the Trust Property or to protect the security hereof, and all sums
expended by Beneficiary therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default
Interest Rate, shall be immediately due and payable to Beneficiary by Grantor on
demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents
securing all or any part of the Debt.
(c) Collect Rents. With or without taking possession of
the Trust Property, sue or otherwise collect the Rents, including those past due
and unpaid.
(d) Appointment of Receiver. Upon, or at any time prior
or after, initiating the exercise of any power of sale, instituting any judicial
foreclosure or instituting any other foreclosure of the liens and security
interests provided for herein or any other legal proceedings hereunder, make
application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver
56
for all or any part of the Trust Property, as a matter of strict right and
without notice to Grantor and without regard to the adequacy of the Trust
Property for the repayment of the Debt or the solvency of Grantor or any person
or persons liable for the payment of the Debt, and Grantor does hereby
irrevocably consent to such appointment, waive any and all notices of and
defenses to such appointment and agree not to oppose any application therefor by
Beneficiary, but nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Beneficiary of any
other right, remedy or privilege Beneficiary may now have under the law to have
a receiver appointed, provided, however, that the appointment of such receiver,
trustee or other appointee by virtue of any court order, statute or regulation
shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Beneficiary to receive
payment of the Rents pursuant to other terms and provisions hereof. Any such
receiver shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar
cases, including, without limitation, the full power to hold, develop, rent,
lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use of the
Trust Property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be
prudent and reasonable under the circumstances as more fully set forth in
Section 3.3 below. Such receivership shall, at the option of Beneficiary,
continue until full payment of all of the Debt or until title to the Trust
Property subject to foreclosure shall have passed by foreclosure sale under this
Deed of Trust or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
(e) Foreclosure. Immediately commence an action to
foreclose this Deed of Trust or to specifically enforce its provisions with
respect to any of the Debt, pursuant to applicable law, and sell the Trust
Property or cause the Trust Property subject to foreclosure hereunder to be sold
in accordance with the requirements and procedures provided by said statutes in
a single parcel or in several parcels at the option of Beneficiary. In the event
foreclosure proceedings are instituted by Beneficiary, all expenses incident to
such proceedings, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs, shall be paid by Grantor and secured by this Deed of Trust and by all of
the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. The Debt and all
other obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation,
interest at the Default Interest Rate any prepayment charge, fee or premium
required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay principal (to the extent
permitted by applicable law), reasonable attorneys' fees and any other amounts
due and unpaid to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents, may be bid by
Beneficiary in the event of a foreclosure sale hereunder. In the event of a
judicial sale pursuant to a foreclosure decree, it is understood and agreed that
Beneficiary or its assigns may become the purchaser of such Trust Property or
any part thereof.
(f) Judicial Remedies. Proceed by suit or suits, at law
or in equity, instituted by or on behalf of Beneficiary, upon written request of
Beneficiary, to enforce the payment of the Debt or the other obligations of
Grantor hereunder or pursuant to the Loan Documents, to foreclose the liens and
security interests of this Deed of Trust as against all or any part of the Trust
Property, and to have all or any part of the Trust Property sold under the
judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. This remedy shall be
cumulative of any other non-judicial remedies available to Beneficiary with
respect to the Loan Documents. Proceeding with the request or receiving a
judgment for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an election of
remedies or bar any available non-judicial remedy of Beneficiary.
(g) Sale of Property. (i) Trustee, at the request of
Beneficiary, shall have the power to sell the Trust Property subject to
foreclosure hereunder or any part thereof at public
57
auction, in such manner, at such time, and place, upon such terms and
conditions, and upon such public notice as may be required or permitted by
applicable law, consisting of advertisement in a newspaper of general
circulation in the jurisdiction and for such period as applicable law may
require and at such other times and by such other methods, if any, as may be
required by law to convey such Trust Property in fee simple by trustee's deed
with special warranty of title to and at the cost of the purchaser, who shall
not be liable to see to the application of the purchase money. The proceeds or
avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this paragraph, together with any
other sums which then may be held by Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust,
whether under the provisions of this paragraph or otherwise, shall be applied as
provided in Section 3.2 hereof. Beneficiary, Trustee and any receiver or
custodian of the Trust Property or any part thereof shall be liable to account
for only those rents, issues, proceeds and profits actually received by it.
(ii) Beneficiary and Trustee, as applicable, may adjourn
from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Deed of
Trust by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such
adjourned sale or sales and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable law,
Beneficiary or Trustee, without further notice or publication, may make such
sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.
(iii) Upon the completion of any sale or sales ordered by
Beneficiary and made by Trustee under or by virtue of this paragraph,
Beneficiary or Trustee, or any officer of any court empowered to do so, shall
execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and
sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, granting, conveying,
assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the
property and rights sold. Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and
lawful attorney-in-fact for Grantor (coupled with an interest), in its name and
stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries
of the property and rights so sold and for that purpose Trustee may execute all
necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery, and may
substitute one or more persons with like power, Grantor hereby ratifying and
confirming all that its said attorney-in-fact or such substitute or substitutes
shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, Grantor, if so requested by
Trustee or Beneficiary, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by
executing and delivering to Beneficiary, or to such purchaser or purchasers all
such instruments as may be advisable, in the sole judgment of Beneficiary, for
such purpose, and as may be designated in such request. Any such sale or sales
made under or by virtue or this paragraph, whether made under the power of sale
herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or
decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right,
title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of
Grantor in and to the property and rights so sold, and shall, to the fullest
extent permitted under law, be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against
Grantor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or
any party thereof, from, through or under Grantor.
(iv) In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of
this Deed of Trust (whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under
or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and
sale), the entire Debt relative to the Trust Property, immediately thereupon
shall, anything in the Note, this Deed of Trust or any other of the Loan
Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, become due and payable.
58
(v) Upon any sale under or by virtue of this Deed of
Trust (whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue
of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale),
Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Trust Property or any part thereof and
in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by
crediting the Debt to and against the net sales price after deducting therefrom
the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action.
(vi) No recovery of any judgment by Xxxxxxxxxxx and no
levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Trust Property or any part
thereof or upon any other property of Grantor shall release the lien of this
Deed of Trust upon the Trust Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights,
powers or remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and
remedies of Beneficiary shall continue unimpaired until the entire Debt is paid
in full.
(h) Other. Exercise any other right or remedy available
hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity.
3.2 Application of Proceeds. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, the proceeds of any sale under this Deed of Trust following the occurrence
and continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied, to the extent funds are
so available, to the following items in such order as Beneficiary in its
discretion may determine:
(a) To payment of the reasonable costs, expenses and fees
of taking possession of the Trust Property, and of holding, operating,
maintaining, using, leasing, repairing, improving, marketing and selling the
same and of otherwise enforcing Beneficiary's rights and remedies hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, receivers' fees,
court costs, attorneys', accountants', appraisers', managers' and other
professional fees, title charges and transfer taxes.
(b) To payment of all sums expended by Beneficiary under
the terms of any of the Loan Documents and not yet repaid, together with
interest on such sums at the Default Interest Rate.
(c) To payment of the Debt and all other obligations
secured by this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, interest at the
Default Interest Rate and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any
prepayment fee, charge or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to
prepay principal, subject to applicable law, in any order that Beneficiary
chooses in its sole discretion.
(d) The remainder, if any, of such funds shall be
disbursed to Grantor or to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
3.3 Right and Authority of Receiver or Beneficiary in the Event of
Default; Power of Attorney. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default, and entry upon the Trust Property pursuant to Section 3.1(b) hereof or
appointment of a receiver pursuant to Section 3.1(d) hereof, and under such
terms and conditions as may be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances in
Beneficiary's or the receiver's sole discretion, all at Grantor's expense,
59
Beneficiary or said receiver, or such other persons or entities as they shall
hire, direct or engage, as the case may be, may do or permit one or more of the
following, successively or concurrently: (a) enter upon and take possession and
control of any and all of the Trust Property; (b) take and maintain possession

Property; (c) exclude Grantor and its agents, servants and employees wholly from
the Trust Property; (d) manage and operate the Trust Property; (e) preserve and
maintain the Trust Property; (f) make repairs and alterations to the Trust
Property; (g) complete any construction or repair of the Improvements, with such
changes, additions or modifications of the plans and specifications or intended
disposition and use of the Improvements as Beneficiary may in its sole
discretion deem appropriate or desirable to place the Trust Property in such
condition as will, in Beneficiary's sole discretion, make it or any part thereof
readily marketable or rentable; (h) conduct a marketing or leasing program with
respect to the Trust Property, or employ a marketing or leasing agent or agents
to do so, directed to the leasing or sale of the Trust Property under such terms
and conditions as Beneficiary may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or
desirable; (i) employ such contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects,
engineers, consultants, managers, brokers, marketing agents, or other employees,
agents, independent contractors or professionals, as Beneficiary may in its sole
discretion deem appropriate or desirable to implement and effectuate the rights
and powers herein granted; (j) execute and deliver, in the name of Beneficiary
as attorney-in-fact and agent of Grantor or in its own name as Beneficiary, such
documents and instruments as are necessary or appropriate to consummate
transactions authorized hereunder; (k) enter such leases, whether of real or
personal property, or tenancy agreements, under such terms and conditions as
Beneficiary may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable; (l)
collect and receive the Rents from the Trust Property; (m) eject tenants or
repossess personal property, as provided by law, for breaches of the conditions
of their leases or other agreements; (n) sue for unpaid Rents, payments, income

forcible entry and detainer, ejectment for possession and actions in distress
for rent; (p) compromise or give acquittance for Rents, payments, income or
proceeds that may become due; (q) delegate or assign any and all rights and

Beneficiary in its sole discretion deems appropriate or desirable to protect the
security hereof and use such measures, legal or equitable, as Beneficiary may in
its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable to implement and effectuate
the provisions of this Deed of Trust. This Deed of Trust shall constitute a
direction to and full authority to any lessee, or other third party who has
heretofore dealt or contracted or may hereafter deal or contract with Grantor or
Beneficiary, at the request of Beneficiary following the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise provided in the Loan
Documents, to pay all amounts owing under any lease, contract, concession,
license or other agreement to Beneficiary without proof of the Event of Default
relied upon. Any such lessee or third party is hereby irrevocably authorized to
rely upon and comply with (and shall be fully protected by Grantor in so doing)
any request, notice or demand by Beneficiary for the payment to Beneficiary of
any Rents or other sums which may be or thereafter become due under its lease,
contract, concession, license or other agreement, or for the performance of any
undertakings under any such lease, contract, concession, license or other
agreement, and shall have no right or duty to inquire whether any Event of
Default under this Deed of Trust or under any of the other Loan Documents has
actually occurred or is then existing. Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints
Beneficiary, its assignees, successors, transferees and nominees, as Xxxxxxx's
true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full
60
power of substitution in the Trust Property, in Grantor's name, place and stead,
to do or permit any one or more of the foregoing described rights, remedies,
powers and authorities, successively or concurrently, and said power of attorney
shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as any
portion of the Debt is outstanding. Any money advanced by Beneficiary in
connection with any action taken under this Section 3.3, together with interest
thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date of making such advancement by
Beneficiary until actually paid by Grantor, shall be a demand obligation owing
by Grantor to Beneficiary and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and by
every other instrument securing all or any portion of the Debt.
3.4 Occupancy After Foreclosure. In the event there is a
foreclosure sale hereunder resulting from the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default, and at the time of such sale, Grantor or Grantor's
representatives, successors or assigns, or any other persons claiming any
interest in the Trust Property by, through or under Grantor (except Tenants of
space in the Improvements subject to Leases), are occupying or using the Trust
Property, or any part thereof, then, to the extent not prohibited by applicable
law, each and all shall, at the option of Beneficiary or the purchaser at such
sale, as the case may be, immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such
sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will
of either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the
value of the Trust Property occupied or used, such rental to be due daily to the
purchaser. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event the
tenant fails to surrender possession of the Trust Property upon the termination
of such tenancy, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain an
action for unlawful detainer of the Trust Property in the appropriate court of
the county in which the Premises is located.
3.5 Notice to Account Debtors. Beneficiary may, at any time after
the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, notify the account
debtors and obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or
other evidences of indebtedness to Grantor included in the Trust Property to pay
Beneficiary directly. Grantor shall at any time or from time to time upon the
request of Beneficiary following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default, provide to Beneficiary a current list of all such account debtors and
obligors and their addresses.
3.6 Cumulative Remedies. All remedies contained in this Deed of
Trust are cumulative and Beneficiary shall also have all other remedies provided
at law and in equity or in any other Loan Documents. Such remedies may be
pursued separately, successively or concurrently at the sole subjective
direction of Beneficiary and may be exercised in any order and as often as
occasion therefor shall arise. No act of Beneficiary shall be construed as an
election to proceed under any particular provisions of this Deed of Trust to the
exclusion of any other provision of this Deed of Trust or as an election of
remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter be
available to Beneficiary. No delay or failure by Beneficiary to exercise any
right or remedy under this Deed of Trust shall be construed to be a waiver of
that right or remedy or of any Event of Default. Beneficiary may exercise any
one or more of its rights and remedies at its option without regard to the
adequacy of its security.
61
3.7 Payment of Expenses. Grantor shall pay on demand all of
Beneficiary's expenses incurred in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Deed
of Trust, whether or not any lawsuit is filed and whether or not foreclosure is
commenced but not completed, including, but not limited to, reasonable legal
fees and disbursements, foreclosure costs and title charges, together with
interest thereon from and after the date incurred by Beneficiary until actually
paid by Grantor at the Default Interest Rate, and the same shall be secured by
this Deed of Trust and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any
part of the Debt.
ARTICLE IV.
MISCELLANEOUS TERMS AND CONDITIONS
4.1 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all
provisions of this Deed of Trust.

in that event only, all rights under this Deed of Trust, except for those
provisions hereof which by their terms survive, shall terminate and the Trust
Property shall become wholly clear of the liens, security interests, conveyances
and assignments evidenced hereby, which shall be promptly released of record by
Beneficiary in due form at Grantor's cost. No release of this Deed of Trust or
the lien hereof shall be valid unless executed by Beneficiary.
4.3 Certain Rights of Beneficiary. Without affecting Grantor's
liability for the payment of any of the Debt, Beneficiary may from time to time
and without notice to Grantor: (a) release any person liable for the payment of
the Debt; (b) extend or modify the terms of payment of the Debt; (c) accept
additional real or personal property of any kind as security or alter,
substitute or release any property securing the Debt; (d) recover any part of
the Trust Property; (e) consent in writing to the making of any subdivision map
or plat thereof; (f) join in granting any easement therein; or (g) join in any

the lien hereof or of any provision hereof shall be subject to any defense which
would not be good and available to the party interposing the same in an action
at law upon the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.
4.5 Notices. All notices, demands, requests or other
communications to be sent by one party to the other hereunder or required by law
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly given or served by
delivery of the same in person to the intended addressee, or by depositing the
same with Federal Express or another reputable private courier service for next
business day delivery, or by depositing the same in the United States mail,
postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in any
event addressed to the intended addressee at its address set forth on the first
page of this Deed of Trust or at such other address as may be designated by such
party as herein provided. All notices, demands and requests shall be effective
upon such personal delivery, or one (1) business day after being deposited with
the private courier service, or two (2) business days after being deposited in
the United States mail as required above. Rejection or other refusal to accept
or the inability to deliver because of
62
changed address of which no notice was given as herein required shall be deemed
to be receipt of the notice, demand or request sent. By giving to the other
party hereto at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice thereof in
accordance with the provisions hereof, the parties hereto shall have the right
from time to time to change their respective addresses and each shall have the
right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of
America.
4.6 Successors and Assigns; Joint and Several Liability. The
terms, provisions, indemnities, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding
upon Grantor and the successors and assigns of Grantor, including all successors
in interest of Grantor in and to all or any part of the Trust Property, and
shall inure to the benefit of Beneficiary, its directors, officers,
shareholders, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns
and shall constitute covenants running with the land. All references in this
Deed of Trust to Grantor or Beneficiary shall be deemed to include all such
parties' successors and assigns, and the term "Beneficiary" as used herein shall
also mean and refer to any lawful holder or owner, including pledgees and
participants, of any of the Debt.
4.7 Severability. A determination that any provision of this Deed
of Trust is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or
validity of any other provision, and any determination that the application of
any provision of this Deed of Trust to any person or circumstance is illegal or
unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision
as it may apply to any other persons or circumstances.
4.8 Gender. Within this Deed of Trust, words of any gender shall
be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular
shall be held and construed to include the plural, and vice versa, unless the
context otherwise requires.
4.9 Waiver; Discontinuance of Proceedings. Beneficiary may waive
any single Event of Default by Grantor hereunder without waiving any other prior
or subsequent Event of Default. Beneficiary may remedy any Event of Default by
Grantor hereunder without waiving the Event of Default remedied. Neither the
failure by Beneficiary to exercise, nor the delay by Beneficiary in exercising,
any right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default by Grantor hereunder shall
be construed as a waiver of such Event of Default or as a waiver of the right to
exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date. No single or partial
exercise by Beneficiary of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust
the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such
right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to
time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any
departure by Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by Beneficiary, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
given. No notice to nor demand on Grantor in any case shall of itself entitle
Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. Acceptance by Beneficiary of any payment in an amount less than
the amount then due on any of the Debt shall be deemed an acceptance on account
only and shall not in any way affect the existence of an Event of Default. In
case Beneficiary shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse
permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect
to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Beneficiary shall have the
unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Grantor and Beneficiary shall
be restored to their former
63
positions with respect to the Debt, the Loan Documents, the Trust Property and
otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Beneficiary shall
continue as if the same had never been invoked.
4.10 Section Headings. The headings of the sections and paragraphs
of this Deed of Trust are for convenience of reference only, are not to be
considered a part hereof and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the
terms hereof.
4.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS DEED OF TRUST WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PREMISES IS
LOCATED, PROVIDED THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY OF SUCH LAWS MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER
BE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, SUCH FEDERAL LAW SHALL SO GOVERN AND BE
CONTROLLING, AND PROVIDED FURTHER THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE
PREMISES IS LOCATED SHALL GOVERN AS TO THE CREATION, PRIORITY AND ENFORCEMENT OF
LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS IN THE TRUST PROPERTY LOCATED IN SUCH STATE.
4.12 Counting of Days. The term "days" when used herein shall mean
calendar days. If any time period ends on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday
officially recognized by the state within which the Premises is located, the
period shall be deemed to end on the next succeeding business day. The term
"business day" when used herein shall mean a weekday, Monday through Friday,
except a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in New York, New
York are authorized by law to be closed.
4.13 Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between Grantor
and Beneficiary is that of a borrower and a lender only and neither of those
parties is, nor shall it hold itself out to be, the agent, employee, joint
venturer or partner of the other party.
4.14 Application of the Proceeds of the Note. To the extent that
proceeds of the Note are used to pay indebtedness secured by any outstanding
lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against the Trust Property,
such proceeds have been advanced by Beneficiary at Grantor's request and
Beneficiary shall be subrogated to any and all rights, security interests and
liens owned by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, security
interests, charges or encumbrances, irrespective of whether said liens, security
interests, charges or encumbrances are released.
4.15 Unsecured Portion of Indebtedness. If any part of the Debt
cannot be lawfully secured by this Deed of Trust or if any part of the Trust
Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security interest hereof to
the full extent of such indebtedness, then all payments made shall be applied on
said indebtedness first in discharge of that portion thereof which is unsecured
by this Deed of Trust.
4.16 Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization. Grantor acknowledges
that Beneficiary has made the loan evidenced by the Note to Grantor upon the
security of its collective interest in the Trust Property and Other Mortgaged
Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Trust Property and Other
Mortgaged Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral
64
security than the sum of the Trust Property and Other Mortgaged Properties taken
separately. Grantor agrees that this Deed of Trust and the other Contemporaneous
Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each
other so that (i) an Event of Default under either this Deed of Trust or any of
the Contemporaneous Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under both
this Deed of Trust and the Contemporaneous Mortgages which secure the Note and
the Contemporaneous Notes; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note shall
constitute an Event of Default under each of this Deed of Trust, the
Contemporaneous Notes, the Contemporaneous Mortgages and the Contemporaneous
Assignments; and (iii) each of this Deed of Trust, the Contemporaneous Notes and
the Contemporaneous Mortgages and the Contemporaneous Assignments shall
constitute security for the Note and the Contemporaneous Notes as if a single
blanket lien were placed on the Trust Property and Other Mortgaged Properties as
security for the Note and the Contemporaneous Notes.
4.17 Interest After Sale. In the event the Trust Property or any
part thereof shall be sold upon foreclosure as provided hereunder, to the extent
permitted by law, the sum for which the same shall have been sold shall, for
purposes of redemption (pursuant to the laws of the state in which the Premises
is located), bear interest at the Default Interest Rate.
4.18 Inconsistency with Other Loan Documents. In the event of any
inconsistency between the provisions hereof and the provisions in any of the
other Loan Documents, it is intended that the provisions of the Note shall
control over the provisions of this Deed of Trust, and that the provisions of
this Deed of Trust shall control over the provisions of the Assignment of Leases
and Rents, the Guaranty and Indemnity Agreement, the Environmental Indemnity
Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.
4.19 Construction of this Document. This document may be construed
as a mortgage, security deed, deed of trust, chattel mortgage, conveyance,
assignment, security agreement, pledge, financing statement, hypothecation or
contract, or any one or more of the foregoing, in order to fully effectuate the
liens and security interests created hereby and the purposes and agreements
herein set forth.
4.20 No Merger. It is the desire and intention of the parties
hereto that this Deed of Trust and the lien hereof do not merge in fee simple
title to the Trust Property. It is hereby understood and agreed that should
Beneficiary acquire any additional or other interests in or to the Trust
Property or the ownership thereof, then, unless a contrary intent is manifested
by Beneficiary as evidenced by an appropriate document duly recorded, this Deed
of Trust and the lien hereof shall not merge in such other or additional
interests in or to the Trust Property, toward the end that this Deed of Trust
may be foreclosed as if owned by a stranger to said other or additional
interests.
4.21 Rights With Respect to Junior Encumbrances. Any person or
entity purporting to have or to take a junior mortgage or other lien upon the
Trust Property or any interest therein shall be subject to the rights of
Beneficiary to amend, modify, increase, vary, alter or supplement this Deed of
Trust, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, and to extend the maturity
date of the Debt, and to increase the amount of the Debt, and to waive or
forebear the exercise of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or under any
of the other Loan Documents and to release
65
any collateral or security for the Debt, in each and every case without
obtaining the consent of the holder of such junior lien and without the lien or
security interest of this Deed of Trust losing its priority over the rights of
any such junior lien.
4.22 Beneficiary May File Proofs of Claim. In the case of any
receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other proceedings affecting Grantor or the principals, general
partners or managing members in Grantor, or their respective creditors or
property, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file
such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of Beneficiary allowed in such proceedings for the
entire Debt at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any
additional amount which may become due and payable by Grantor hereunder after
such date.
4.23 Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust shall be effective from the
date of its recording as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with
respect to all goods constituting part of the Trust Property which are or are to
become fixtures. This Deed of Trust shall also be effective as a financing
statement covering minerals or the like (including oil and gas) and is to be
filed for record in the real estate records of the county where the Premises is
situated. The mailing address of Grantor and the address of Beneficiary from
which information concerning the security interests may be obtained are set
forth in Section 1.22 above.
4.24 After-Acquired Trust Property. All property acquired by
Grantor after the date of this Deed of Trust which by the terms of this Deed of
Trust shall be subject to the lien and the security interest created hereby,
shall immediately upon the acquisition thereof by Xxxxxxx and without further
mortgage, conveyance or assignment become subject to the lien and security
interest created by this Deed of Trust. Nevertheless, Grantor shall execute,
acknowledge, deliver and record or file, as appropriate, all and every such
further mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, assignments and
assurances as Beneficiary shall require for accomplishing the purposes of this
Deed of Trust.
4.25 No Representation. By accepting delivery of any item required
to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Beneficiary pursuant to
the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, any officer's certificate,
balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement,
survey, appraisal or insurance policy, Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have
warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or
legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and
such acceptance of delivery thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty,
consent or affirmation with respect thereto by Beneficiary.
4.26 Counterparts. This Deed of Trust may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be effective only upon delivery and
thereafter shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be taken to be
one and the same instrument, for the same effect as if all parties hereto had
signed the same signature page. Any signature page of this Deed of Trust may be
detached from any counterpart of this Deed of Trust without impairing the legal
effect of any signatures thereon and may be attached to another counterpart of
this Deed of Trust identical in form hereto but having attached to it one or
more additional signature pages.
66
4.27 Personal Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Deed of Trust, the liability of Grantor and its officers,
directors, general partners, managers, members and principals for the Debt and
for the performance of the other agreements, covenants and obligations contained
herein and in the Loan Documents shall be limited as set forth in Section 2.6 of
the Note.
4.28 Recording and Filing. Grantor will cause the Loan Documents
and all amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions therefor to be
recorded, filed, re-recorded and re-filed in such manner and in such places as
Beneficiary shall reasonably request, and will pay on demand all such recording,
filing, re-recording and re-filing taxes, fees and other charges. Grantor shall
reimburse Beneficiary, or its servicing agent, for the costs incurred in
obtaining a tax service company to verify the status of payment of taxes and
assessments on the Trust Property.
4.29 Entire Agreement and Modifications. This Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents contain the entire agreements between the parties relating
to the subject matter hereof and thereof and all prior agreements relative
hereto and thereto which are not contained herein or therein are terminated.
This Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents may not be amended, revised,
waived, discharged, released or terminated orally but only by a written
instrument or instruments executed by the party against which enforcement of the
amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted. Any
alleged amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination which is
not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.
4.30 Maximum Interest. The provisions of this Deed of Trust and of
all agreements between Grantor and Beneficiary, whether now existing or
hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so
that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or
acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or
agreed to be paid ("Interest") to Beneficiary for the use, forbearance or
retention of the money loaned under the Note exceed the maximum amount
permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever,
performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between
Grantor and Beneficiary shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such
provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or
otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then,
ipso facto, the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such
limit, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Beneficiary shall ever receive
anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum
lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the
reduction of the principal balance owing under the Note in the inverse order of
its maturity (whether or not then due) or, at the option of Beneficiary, be paid
over to Grantor, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest (including any
amounts or payments deemed to be Interest) paid or agreed to be paid to
Beneficiary shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full
of the principal balance of the Note so that the Interest thereon for such full
period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This
Section will control all agreements between Grantor and Beneficiary.
67
4.31 Interest Payable by Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall cause funds
in the Replacement Reserve and the Repair and Remediation Reserve to be
deposited into interest bearing accounts of the type customarily maintained by
Beneficiary or its servicing agent for the investment of similar reserves, which
accounts may not yield the highest interest rate then available. Interest
payable on such amounts shall be computed based on the daily outstanding balance
in the Replacement Reserve and the Repair and Remediation Reserve, as
applicable. Such interest shall be calculated on a simple, non-compounded
interest basis based solely on contributions made to the Replacement Reserve and
the Repair and Remediation Reserve by Grantor. All interest earned on amounts
contributed to the Replacement Reserve and the Repair and Remediation Reserve
shall be retained by Beneficiary and accumulated for the benefit of Grantor and
added to the balance in the Replacement Reserve or the Repair and Remediation
Reserve, as applicable, and shall be disbursed for payment of the items for
which other funds in the Replacement Reserve or the Repair and Remediation
Reserve, as applicable, are to be disbursed.
4.32 Secondary Market. Beneficiary may sell, assign, participate,
transfer or deliver the Note and the Loan Documents to one or more investors
(directly or through a trust of other entity which may sell certificates or
other instruments to investor) in the secondary mortgage market (a "Secondary
Market Transaction"). In connection with such sale, assignment, participation,
transfer or delivery, Beneficiary may retain or assign responsibility for
servicing the loan evidenced by the Note or may delegate some or all of such
responsibility and/or obligations to a servicer, including, but not limited to,
any subservicer or master servicer, on behalf of the investors.
4.33 Dissemination of Information. If Beneficiary determines at any
time to sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Deed of Trust and other Loan
Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or to grant
participations therein (the "Participations") or issue mortgage pass-through
certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or
unrated public offering or private placement (the "Securities"), Beneficiary may
forward to each purchaser, transferee, Beneficiary, servicer, participant,
investor, or their respective successors in such Participations and/or
Securities (collectively, the "Investors") or any Rating Agency rating such
Securities, each prospective Investor and each of the foregoing's respective
counsel, all documents and information which Beneficiary now has or may
hereafter acquire relating to the Debt, to Beneficiary, any guarantor, any
indemnitor, and the Trust Property, which shall have been furnished by
Beneficiary and any Indemnitor, as Beneficiary determines necessary or
desirable. If at any time during which the Loan is an asset of a securitization
or is otherwise an asset of any rated transaction, "Rating Agency" or "Rating
Agencies" shall mean the rating agency or rating agencies that from time to time
rate the securities, certificates or other instruments issued in connection with
such securitization or other transaction.
4.34 Contemporaneous Notes, Contemporaneous Mortgages and
Contemporaneous Assignments of Leases and Rents. This Deed of Trust is made
contemporaneously with seven (7) other promissory notes, each of even date
herewith (the "Contemporaneous Notes"), seven (7) other deeds of trust, each of
even date herewith (the "Contemporaneous Mortgages") and seven (7) other
Assignment of Leases and Rents, each of even date herewith (the "Contemporaneous
Assignments"), given by Grantor or CRIT-NC II, LLC to or for the benefit of
68
Beneficiary covering properties listed together with the Trust Property, on
Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Other
Mortgaged Properties").
4.35 Certain Matters Relating to Trust Property Located in the
Commonwealth of Virginia. With respect to the Trust Property which is located in
the Commonwealth of Virginia, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary:
(a) Acceleration; Remedies. At any time during the
existence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option, may
declare the Debt to be immediately due and payable without further demand, and
may invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by Virginia law or
provided in this Deed of Trust or in any other Loan Document. Grantor
acknowledges that the power of sale granted in this Deed of Trust may be
exercised by Beneficiary without prior judicial hearing. Grantor has the right
to bring an action to assert that an Event of Default does not exist or to raise
any other defense Grantor may have to acceleration and sale. Beneficiary shall
be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such
remedies, including attorneys' fees, costs of documentary evidence, abstracts
and title reports.
If Beneficiary invokes the power of sale, Beneficiary or
Trustee shall deliver a copy of a notice of sale to Grantor in the manner
prescribed by Virginia law. Trustee shall give public notice of the sale in the
manner prescribed by Section 55-59.2 of the Code of Virginia (1950) and shall
sell the Trust Property in accordance with Virginia law. Grantor agrees that
publication of a notice of sale once (1) per week for four (4) successive weeks
in a newspaper having general circulation in the city or county in which the
Trust Property is located shall constitute sufficient notice of the sale.
Trustee, without demand on Grantor, shall sell the Trust Property at public
auction to the highest bidder at the time and place and under the terms
designated in the notice of sale in one or more parcels and in such order as
Trustee may determine. Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any part of the
Trust Property by public announcement at the time and place of any previously
scheduled sale or by advertising in accordance with Virginia law. Beneficiary or
Beneficiary's designee may purchase the Trust Property at any sale.
Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser at the sale Trustee's
deed conveying the Trust Property so sold with special warranty of title. The
recitals in Trustee's deed shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the
statements made in those recitals. Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale
in the following order: (a) to all costs and expenses of the sale, including
Trustee's fees of one percent (1%) of the gross sale price, attorneys' fees and
costs of title evidence; (b) to the discharge of all taxes, if any, as provided
by Virginia law; (c) to the Debt in such order as Beneficiary, in Beneficiary's
discretion, directs; and (d) the excess, if any, to the person or persons
legally entitled to the excess, including, if any, the holders of liens inferior
to this Deed of Trust in the order of their priority, provided that Trustee has
actual notice of such liens. Trustee shall not be required to take possession of
the Trust Property before the sale or to deliver possession of the Trust
Property to the purchaser at the sale.
(b) Statutory Provisions. The following provisions of
Section 55-60, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, are made applicable to this
Deed of Trust:

BORROWER AND XXXXXX THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT
EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY
GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT
LEGAL COUNSEL.
ARTICLE V.
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
5.1 Certain Rights. With the approval of Beneficiary, Trustee
shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to
select, employ and consult with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel
for Beneficiary) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation,
execution and interpretation of the Loan Documents, and shall be fully protected
in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to execute any of
the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly
or through his or her agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and
about the execution of his or her duties hereunder, suitable accountants,
engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or
individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee (and Trustee shall not be
answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such
accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected
with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in
good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances
whatsoever, except for Trustee's gross negligence or bad faith), and (iv) any
and all other lawful action that Beneficiary may instruct Trustee to take to
protect or enforce Beneficiary's rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be
personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of
the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Trust Property for debts
contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation
of the Trust Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument,
document, or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to
be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine.
Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred by Xxxxxxx in
the performance of Xxxxxxx's duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for
such of Trustee's services hereunder as shall be rendered. Grantor will, from
time to time, pay reasonable compensation due to Trustee hereunder and reimburse
Trustee for, and save and hold Trustee harmless against, any and all liability
and reasonable expenses which may be incurred by Trustee in the performance of
Trustee's duties.
70
5.2 Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee shall,
until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for
which they were received, and shall be segregated from any other moneys of
Trustee.
5.3 Successor Trustees. Trustee may resign by the giving of notice
of such resignation in writing to Beneficiary. If Trustee shall die, resign or
become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or if, for any
reason, Beneficiary, in Beneficiary's sole discretion and with or without cause,
shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee or multiple substitute trustees, or
successive substitute trustees or successive multiple substitute trustees, to
act instead of the aforenamed Trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to
appoint a substitute trustee (or, if preferred, multiple substitute trustees) in
succession who shall succeed (and if multiple substitute trustees are appointed,
each of such multiple substitute trustees shall succeed) to all the estates,
rights, powers and duties of the aforenamed Trustee. Such appointment may be
executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary, and if such Beneficiary be a
corporation and such appointment be executed on its behalf by any officer of
such corporation, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed
with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by
the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation. Grantor
hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the aforenamed Trustee, or
his or her successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue
hereof. If multiple substitute trustees are appointed, each of such multiple
substitute trustees shall be empowered and authorized to act alone without the
necessity of the joinder of the other multiple substitute trustees, whenever any
action or undertaking of such substitute trustees is requested or required under
or pursuant to this Deed of Trust or applicable law. Any prior election to act
jointly or severally shall not prevent either or both of such multiple
substitute Trustees from subsequently executing, jointly or severally, any or
all of the provisions hereof.
