as the "REAL Property") appropriated to the use thereof and, whether affixed or
annexed to the Real Property or not, shall for the purposes of this Security
Instrument be deemed conclusively to be real estate and conveyed hereby.
Section 1.2 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. Borrower hereby absolutely
and unconditionally assigns to Lender and Trustee all of Borrower's right, title
and interest in and to all current and future Leases and Rents; it being
intended by Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute
assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Nevertheless,

Security Instrument, Lender grants to Borrower a revocable license to collect,
receive, use and enjoy the Rents. Borrower shall hold the Rents, or a portion
thereof sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt, for use in the
payment of such sums.
Section 1.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Security Instrument is
both a real property deed of trust and a "security agreement" within the meaning
of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal
property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in
nature, of Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security
Instrument, Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations
(hereinafter defined), a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment and
the Personal Property to the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment and
the Personal Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said
portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called
the "COLLATERAL"). If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender,
in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and
may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies
granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take
-5-
7
possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other
measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation
of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Lender after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense,
assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place
(at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower
shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal
expenses and attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its
interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to
the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with
respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions
hereof at least ten (10) business days prior to such action, shall, except as
otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Borrower.
The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may,
except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Lender to the
payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion
shall deem proper. Borrower's (Debtor's) principal place of business is as set
forth on page one hereof and the address of Lender (Secured Party) is as set
forth on page one hereof.
Section 1.4 FIXTURE FILING. Certain of the Property is or will
become "fixtures" (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on
the Land, described or referred to in this Security Instrument, and this
Security Instrument, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of
the city or county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a
financing statement naming Borrower as the Debtor and Lender as the Secured
Party filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of
said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become
fixtures.
Section 1.5 PLEDGES OF MONIES HELD. Borrower hereby pledges to
Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of
Lender, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Lockbox
Account, the Reserve Funds and Net Proceeds, as additional security for the
Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.

relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor,
and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no
term or condition of any of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security
Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the
relationship between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and
creditor.
Section 4.2 NO RELIANCE ON LENDER. The general partners,
members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower
are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the
Property, and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and

Borrower is not relying on Lender's expertise, business acumen or advice in
connection with the Property.

statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or
insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or

with respect thereto by Lender.

that in accepting the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the
other Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and
accuracy of the warranties and representations set forth in Section 4.1 of the

notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance
existed on the part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and
representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that

the other Loan Documents creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the
lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be
filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be
required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to
protect and perfect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest

assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender and Trustee the property and
rights hereby deeded, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged,
assigned,
-10-
12
warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which
Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Trustee or
Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the
terms of this Security Instrument or for filing, registering or recording this
Security Instrument, or for complying with all Legal Requirements. Borrower, on

of Lender in the Property. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of
attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting
any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law and in equity,
including without limitation such rights and remedies available to Lender
pursuant to this Section 5.2. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall be
deemed to create an obligation on the part of Borrower to pay any costs and
expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Securitization or other sale
or transfer of the Loan.
Section 5.3 CHANGES IN TAX, DEBT, CREDIT AND DOCUMENTARY STAMP
LAWS. (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this
Security Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for
the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly,
on the Debt or Lender's interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax,
with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel
chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to
Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender
shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty
(120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any
credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other
Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction
shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or
any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security
Instrument or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by
law, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one
hundred twenty (120) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(c) If at any time the United States of America, any State
thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other
stamps to be affixed to the Note, this Security Instrument, or any of the other
Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay
for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

Instrument and the Note shall, at any time until the same shall be fully paid
and satisfied, at the sole election of Lender, be split or divided into two or
more notes and two or more security instruments, each of which shall cover all
or a portion of the Property to be more particularly described therein. To that
end, Borrower, upon written request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the then owner
of the
-11-
13
Property, to Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and
security instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the

Section 6.1 LENDER RELIANCE. Borrower acknowledges that Lender
has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its general partners,
members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and
operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will
continue to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Property as a means of
maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and
the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has
a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that,
should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the
Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.
Section 6.2 NO SALE/ENCUMBRANCE. Borrower agrees that Borrower
shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, sell, convey, mortgage,
grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, or otherwise transfer the Property or

conveyed, mortgaged, granted, bargained, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or
otherwise transferred, unless Lender shall consent thereto in accordance with
Section 6.4 hereof.
Section 6.3 SALE/ENCUMBRANCE DEFINED. A sale, conveyance,
mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer within

or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (b) an agreement by
Borrower leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual

hereof and of the Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents; (b) an
assumption of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the
other Loan Documents as so modified by the proposed transferee, subject to the
provisions of Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement; (c) payment of all of Lender's
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such transfer; (d) the

withdrawal of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in
connection with any Securitization; (e) the delivery of a nonconsolidation
opinion reflecting the proposed transfer satisfactory in form and substance to
Lender; (f) the proposed transferee's continued compliance with the

Agreement; (g) the delivery of evidence satisfactory to Lender that the single
purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of Borrower, its shareholders, partners
or members, as the case may be, following such transfers are in accordance with
the standards of the Rating Agencies, or (h) such other conditions as Lender
shall determine in its reasonable discretion to be in the interest of Lender,
including, without limitation, the creditworthiness, reputation and
qualifications of the transferee with respect to the Loan and the Property.
Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its
security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt
immediately due and payable upon Borrower's sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant,
bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Property without
Lender's consent. This provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance,
mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the

as may be required or permitted by law; and, without limiting the
foregoing:
(i) In connection with any sale or sales hereunder,
Lender or the Trustee shall be entitled to elect to treat any

is property that can be severed from the Real Property covered
hereby or any improvements without causing structural damage
thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of
the same in accordance with applicable law, separate and apart

governing a sale of
-14-
16
Real Property, Lender and/or the Trustee shall give such
notice of Event of Default, if any, and election to sell as
may then be required by law. Thereafter, upon the expiration
of such time and the giving of such notice of sale as may then
be required by law, and without the necessity of any demand on
Borrower, Lender and/or the Trustee at the time and place
specified in the notice of sale, shall sell such Real Property

desire that more than one sale or other disposition of the
Property be conducted, Lender or the Trustee shall, subject to
applicable law, cause such sales or dispositions to be
conducted simultaneously, or successively, on the same day, or
at such different days or times and in such order as Lender or
the Trustee may designate, and no such sale shall terminate or
otherwise affect the lien of this Security Instrument on any
part of the Property not sold until all the Debt has been paid
in full. In the event Lender or the Trustee elects to dispose
of the Property through more than one sale, except as
otherwise provided by applicable law, Borrower agrees to pay
the costs and expenses of each such sale and of any judicial
proceedings wherein such sale may be made;
(e) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the

for the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor, indemnitor with respect to
the Loan or of any Person, liable for the payment of the Debt;
(h) the license granted to Borrower under SECTION 1.2 hereof
shall automatically be revoked and Lender may enter into or upon the
Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and
dispossess Borrower and its
-15-
17
agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages
or otherwise and exclude Borrower and its agents or servants wholly
therefrom, and take possession of all books, records and accounts
relating thereto and Borrower agrees to surrender possession of the

every part thereof; (v) require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to
Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and
reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the
Property as may be occupied by Borrower; (vi) require Borrower to

amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other
expenses in connection with the Property, as well as just and
reasonable compensation for the services of Lender, its counsel, agents
and employees;
(i) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a
secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the

may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the
Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property, and (ii) request
Borrower at its expense to assemble the Fixtures, the Equipment, the
Personal Property and make it available to Lender at a convenient place
acceptable to Lender. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended
action by Lender with respect to the Fixtures, the Equipment, the
Personal Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions
hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute
commercially reasonable notice to Borrower;
(j) apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or
otherwise by or on behalf of Lender in accordance with the terms of the
Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document to

In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less than
all of Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security
interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of
priority.
Section 7.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The purchase money,
proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Property, and or any part thereof,
or any other sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Note, this Security
Instrument or the other Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment
of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall
deem proper, to the extent consistent with law.
Section 7.3 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may remedy such Event of
Default in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to
protect the security hereof, but without any obligation to do so and without
notice to or demand on Borrower, and without releasing Borrower from any
obligation hereunder. Lender is authorized to enter upon action or proceeding to
the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or
proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security
Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including
reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as
provided in this Section 7.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall
be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred
by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in
appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear
interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such
cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs
and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the
Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured
by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be
immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
Section 7.4 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Lender or Trustee has the
right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to
the Property and to
-17-
19
bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which
Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in
the Property.
Section 7.5 RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Lender shall
have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether
or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right
of Lender or Trustee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other
action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier
action was commenced.
Section 7.6 EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable
times and upon reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys
shall have the right to examine the records, books, management and other papers
of Borrower which reflect upon their financial condition, at the Property or at
any office regularly maintained by Borrower where the books and records are
located. Lender and its agents shall have the right to make copies and extracts
from the foregoing records and other papers. In addition, at reasonable times
and upon reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall
have the right to examine and audit the books and records of Borrower pertaining
to the income, expenses and operation of the Property during reasonable business
hours at any office of Borrower where the books and records are located. This
Section 7.6 shall apply throughout the term of the Note and without regard to
whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.
Section 7.7 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender or
Trustee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be
relieved of Borrower's obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of
Lender or Trustee to comply with any request of Borrower or any guarantor or
indemnitor with respect to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this
Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the
Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration,
of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt
or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender
extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms
of the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.
(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the
Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for
decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for
failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of
risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial
relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any
Property or collateral not in Lender's possession.
(c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other
security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion,
may elect. Lender or Trustee may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion
thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of
Lender or Trustee thereafter to foreclose this
-18-
20
Security Instrument. The rights of Lender or Trustee under this Security
Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given
effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender or Trustee shall be
construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the
exclusion of any other provision. Neither Lender nor Trustee shall be limited
exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to
every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
Section 7.8 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.
Lender may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender
may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing
or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the
position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the
extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual
monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may
accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as
Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other
lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security
interest in the remaining portion of the Property.
Section 7.9 VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in
material compliance with Legal Requirements, Lender may impose additional
requirements upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation,
monetary reserves or financial equivalents.
Section 7.10 RECOURSE AND CHOICE OF REMEDIES. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Security Instrument or the Loan Agreement,
including, without limitation, Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement, Lender and
other Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) are entitled to enforce the
obligations of Borrower, any guarantor and indemnitor contained in Sections 9.2,
9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement without first resorting
to or exhausting any security or collateral and without first having recourse to
the Note or any of the Property, through foreclosure, exercise of a power of
sale or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and in the
event Lender commences a foreclosure action against the Property, or otherwise
causes Trustee to exercise the power of sale pursuant to this Security
Instrument, Lender is entitled to pursue a deficiency judgment with respect to
such obligations against Borrower and any guarantor or indemnitor with respect
to the Loan. The provisions of Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2
of the Loan Agreement are exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpation
provisions in the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument or the
other Loan Documents, and Borrower and any guarantor or indemnitor with respect
to the Loan are fully and personally liable for the obligations pursuant to
Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement. The
liability of Borrower and any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan
pursuant to Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4
-19-
21
herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement is not limited to the original
principal amount of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
shall inhibit or prevent Lender or Trustee from foreclosing or exercising a
power of sale pursuant to this Security Instrument or exercising any other
rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security
Instrument and the other Loan Documents, whether simultaneously with foreclosure
proceedings or in any other sequence. A separate action or actions may be
brought and prosecuted against Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4
herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement, whether or not action is brought
against any other Person or whether or not any other Person is joined in the
action or actions. In addition, Lender shall have the right but not the
obligation to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any
administrative or judicial proceedings or actions initiated in connection with
any matter addressed in Article 8 or Section 9.4 herein.
Section 7.11 RIGHT OF ENTRY. Upon reasonable notice to
Borrower, Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the
