3. INSURANCE.
-4-
(a) Borrower shall maintain insurance for Borrower and the Property
providing at least the following coverages:
(i) comprehensive all risk insurance on the Improvements and the
Equipment, including contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws,
Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements, in each
case (A) in an amount equal to the greater of (x) one hundred percent
(100%) of the "Full Replacement Cost," which for purposes of this Deed of
Trust shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of
excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a
waiver of depreciation and (y) the original principal amount of the Loans;
(B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the
Improvements and Equipment waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C)
providing for no deductible in excess of $50,000; and (D) containing an

consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under
this subsection (i) and rental interruption insurance under subsection
(iii);
(ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for
personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon,
in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called

Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence; (B) to continue at not less than the

operations; (2) products and completed operations on an "if any" basis;
(3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all
legal contracts; and (5) liability that may arise from acts of terrorism;

insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; (C) containing an
unlimited period of restoration and extended period of indemnity
endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the
Improvements and Equipment has been repaired, the continued loss of rental
income will be insured until such rental income either returns to the same
level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months
from the date that the Trust Property is repaired or replaced and
operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that
the policy may expire prior to the end of such period, provided that the
unlimited period of restoration endorsement may be limited to the length
of time
-5-
required with the exercise of due diligence and dispatch to rebuild,
repair or replace the damaged or destroyed property; and (D) in an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross income from the
Trust Property for a period of twelve (12) months from the date that the
Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed. The amount of
such rental interruption insurance shall be determined prior to the date
hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower's
reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Trust Property for the
succeeding twelve (12) month period. Subject to the rights of Lender and
subject to the provisions of paragraph 4(e)(x) below, all proceeds payable
to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be
applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time
due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that
nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its
obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the
respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan
Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the
proceeds of such rental interruption insurance;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or
alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if
the property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner's
contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered
by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial
general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in
subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder's risk completed value
form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against
pursuant to subsection (i) and (iii) above, (3) including permission to
occupy the Trust Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement
waiving co-insurance provisions;
(v) Worker's Compensation insurance, as required by any governmental
authority or any applicable legal requirements and Employer's Liability
Insurance of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) for
each occurrence;
(vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance in an amount of
not less than Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000) each

policy required under subsection (i) and (iii) above;
(vii) umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than One
Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000) per occurrence, on terms
consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required
under subsection (ii) above, on a portfolio basis naming the Trust
Property and all other properties owned by Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and/or his
Affiliates as of the date hereof or, following the transfer of indirect
interests in the Borrower to Xxxxxxx Properties, L.P., a Maryland limited
partnership (the "OP"), then all other properties owned by the OP and/or
its Affiliates; provided, that such insurance may be provided under a
blanket insurance Policy so long as the coverage required pursuant to this
clause is not reduced below the per occurrence limit set forth in this
clause;
-6-
(viii) motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned
vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits
per occurrence, including umbrella coverage, of Five Million and No/100
Dollars ($5,000,000);
(ix) if the Property is or becomes a legal "non-conforming" use,
ordinance or law coverage and insurance coverage to compensate for the
cost of demolition or rebuilding of the undamaged portion of the Trust
Property along with any reduced value and the increased cost of
construction in amounts as requested by Lender;
(x) if "certified acts of terrorism", as declared by the United
States Government, are now or hereafter excluded from Borrower's
comprehensive all risk insurance policy or business income coverage,
Borrower shall obtain an endorsement to such policies, or separate
policies, insuring against all such "certified acts of terrorism" (such
acts or events so excluded, "TERRORISM ACTS"), at Borrower's option,
either (A) in an amount not less than Three Hundred Million and No/100
Dollars ($300,000,000) on an aggregate basis covering the Trust Property
and all other properties owned by Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and/or his Affiliates
as of the date hereof or, following the transfer of indirect interests in
the Borrower to the OP, then all other properties owned by the OP and/or
its Affiliates and providing for a deductible not exceeding $1,000,000.00
or (B) in a total amount not less than Three Hundred and Fifty Million and
No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000) on an aggregate basis covering the Trust
Property and all other properties owned by the OP and/or its Affiliates as
of the date hereof and providing for a deductible of not in excess of 5%
of the full replacement value of the Trust Property; in either case, the
endorsement or policy shall be (x) in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lender; and (y) non-cancelable (to the extent such
non-cancelable insurance is available in the marketplace) (insurance
meeting such requirements being referred to herein as "FULL COVERAGE");
provided the Borrower shall not be required to spend in excess of Three
Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) per annum for such coverage
and, in the event that Full Coverage is not available at a cost of
$3,000,000 per annum, then Borrower shall purchase insurance covering
Terrorism Acts in an amount equal to the principal balance of the Loans,
but shall not be required to maintain the full amount of such coverage if
such coverage is not available at a cost of $3,000,000 per annum or less,
provided that in the event that $3,000,000 is not sufficient to purchase
such coverage in an amount equal to the principal balance of the Loans,
then Borrower shall obtain the greatest amount of coverage obtainable at a
cost of $3,000,000 per annum;
In the event that the limits of insurance in place covering Terrorism Acts on a
portfolio basis are exhausted by damage to a property other than the Trust
Property, then Borrower shall restore the coverage provided for in clause (x)
above (or any lesser amount of coverage that is available if such coverage is
not available), to the extent such insurance is commercially available; and
(xi) upon sixty (60) days' written notice, such other reasonable
insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may
reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time
are commonly insured against for property similar to the Trust Property
located in or around the region in which the Trust Property is located.
-7-
(b) All insurance provided for in paragraph 3(a) shall be obtained under
valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the "POLICIES" or in the singular,
the "POLICY"), and shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to
insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The
Policies (or a "cut-through" endorsement, approved by Lender, with respect to
any such Policy) shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance
companies authorized to do business in the State and, except in the case of
flood hazard insurance and earthquake insurance, having either (i) a claims
paying ability rating of "A" or better by Standard and Poor's Ratings Services
("S&P") and an equivalent rating by Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. ("MOODY'S")
or (ii) if the Policies are provided through a syndicate of companies, (A) at
least 75% of the coverage and first layer of coverage shall have a claims paying
ability rating of "A, X" or better (and the equivalent thereof) by A.M. Best's
Key Rating Guide ("Best"), (B) no more than 15% of the Policies shall have a
claims paying ability rating of "A, VIII" or less by Best and (C) no more than
10% of the Policies shall have a claims paying ability rating of "A-, VII" or
less by Best's. The Policies described in paragraph 3(a) (other than those
strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee
and Lender shall be an additional named insured, as its interests may appear.
Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies
theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the
Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the
premiums due thereunder shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Subject to the provisions of paragraph 6 hereof, Borrower shall pay
the premiums for such Policies (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS") as the same become due
and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the
Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other
evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however,
that Borrower is not required to furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in
the event that such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to
paragraph 6 hereof). If Borrower is required to furnish such evidence and
receipts pursuant to the preceding sentence and Borrower does not furnish such
evidence and receipts at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any
expiring Policy, then Lender may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure,
such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees to
reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand.
Within thirty (30) Business Days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain
such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be
reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value
of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and
practices of owners of property similar to the Trust Property located in or
around the region in which the Trust Property is located and as may be available
at commercially reasonable rates. Lender acknowledges that the Policies
delivered with respect to the Trust Property as of the date hereof satisfy the
requirements of this paragraph 3. Such approval shall continue in effect until
the expiration or termination of such Policies provided that there is not a
downgrade by S&P, Moody's or Best of any insurer providing such Policies and, as
a result thereof, Borrower fails to satisfy the rating criteria set forth in
paragraph 3(b). Any renewal or replacement of such Policies, however, shall
require Lender's approval as provided above in this paragraph 3 unless (i) the
companies providing such renewal or replacement Policies are licensed to do
business in the state where the Trust Property is located and have a claims
paying ability rating by S&P, Moody's and Best's Insurance Reports that satisfy
the requirements set forth in paragraph 3(b) above or that, subject to the
provisions of paragraph 3(e) below, such rating is no less than the rating as of
the date hereof of the company providing the insurance approved by Lender as of
the date hereof, (ii) the coverage provided by such renewal or replacement
Policies is no less than the coverage approved by
-8-
Lender as of the date hereof, (iii) such renewal or replacement Policies contain
in all material respects the same terms and conditions as the Policies approved
by Lender as of the date hereof and (iv) Lender has not notified Borrower in
accordance with this paragraph 3 that the requirements for the Policies have
changed since the date hereof.
(d) The insurance coverage required under this paragraph 3 may be effected
under one or more blanket Policies covering the Trust Property and other
property and assets not constituting a part of the Trust Property; provided that
any blanket Policy shall specify, except in the case of general liability
insurance, the portion of the total coverage of such blanket Policy that is
allocated exclusively to the Trust Property and shall comply in all respects
with the requirements of this paragraph 3. Lender hereby confirms that it
approves (i) the terms of the existing Property Insurance Sharing Agreement
among Borrower and certain of its Affiliates, and (ii) that the Insurance
Premiums are financed through one or more finance companies (individually and/or
collectively, the "BLANKET INSURANCE PREMIUM FINANCING ARRANGEMENT" ) to whom
Borrower pays Borrower's allocable share of the annual initial deposit and the
monthly payments due for each blanket Policy to the applicable finance company
(with respect to each blanket Policy, such monthly payment, together with
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the allocable share of the annual initial deposit
necessary to accumulate such allocable share for such Policy at least thirty
(30) days prior to its due date, each, a "FINANCING INSTALLMENT").
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph
3, Lender shall accept an "all-risk" Policy issued by Factory Mutual Insurance
Company ("FACTORY MUTUAL" ), so long as (I) Factory Mutual maintains a general
policy rating of "BBB" or better and a financial class of "XIV" or better by
Best and a claims paying ability rating of "A+" or better by Fitch, and (II) in
connection with any Securitization, Lender confirms that, in Lender's reasonable
determination based on information provided by any Rating Agency, the ratings
assigned to the portion of the Securitization represented by the Loans will not
be adversely affected as a result of such "all-risk" Policy being issued by
Factory Mutual. In the event that both of the conditions set forth in clause (I)
and (II) above are not being met at all times, then Borrower shall at all times,
at its sole cost and expense, maintain an "all risk" policy that is otherwise in
compliance with all of the applicable provisions of this paragraph 3 and
applicable Rating Agency requirements; provided that Borrower shall have thirty
(30) days (or such shorter period if the existing policies would lapse prior to
the end of such 30-day period) after the earlier of (A) the failure of the
condition in clause (I) above or (B) the date Lender notifies Borrower of
Lender's confirmation pursuant to clause (II) above to obtain an "all risk"
Policy meeting such applicable provisions and requirements (which may be
obtained through the issuance of a so-called "cut-through" endorsement).
4. CASUALTY.
(a) If the Trust Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in
part, by fire or other casualty (a "CASUALTY"), Borrower shall give prompt
notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower,
regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed
to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least
-9-
equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or
destruction (a "CASUALTY RESTORATION"), all to be effected in accordance with
applicable law.
(b) If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an "INSURED CASUALTY")
occurs where the loss does not exceed $2,500,000, provided no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any
claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried
out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to
collect and receipt for the Insurance Proceeds (as hereinafter defined). In the
event of an Insured Casualty where the loss exceeds $2,500,000 (a "SIGNIFICANT
CASUALTY"), Lender may, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any claim
without the consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) in a commercially
reasonable manner on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall
be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the
Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith. If
Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing
Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower shall immediately
endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the
order of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the
order of Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment
and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be
reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance
carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes
be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding
any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the
purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not
be treated as business or rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower
has demonstrated to Lender's reasonable satisfaction that the remaining net
Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are
sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if
such net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the
terms hereof, that such remaining net Proceeds, together with any portion of the
amount treated as business or rental interruption insurance that will be paid to
Lender, will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.
(c) Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of the actual or
threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding (a
"CONDEMNATION") and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served
in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a
Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award (hereinafter defined) is
available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the
same to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of
substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation (a "CONDEMNATION
RESTORATION", together with a Casualty Restoration, collectively a
"RESTORATION"), all to be effected in accordance with applicable law.
(d) Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower's attorney-in-fact,
coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain
any award or payment ("AWARD") for any taking accomplished through a
Condemnation (a "TAKING") and to make any commercially reasonable compromise or
settlement in connection with any such Condemnation, subject to the provisions
of this Deed of Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the
right, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
-10-
continuing, to compromise and collect or receive any award that does not exceed
$2,500,000. Notwithstanding any Taking by any public or quasi-public authority
(including, without limitation, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation
of such a Taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in
the manner provided for in the Note, in this Deed of Trust and the other Loan
Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall
have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the
Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest
paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive
out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note. Borrower
shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender.
The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of the Award
shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby and shall be reimbursed by
Borrower to Lender upon demand.
(E) RESTORATION. The following provisions shall apply in connection
with the Restoration of the Premises and Improvements:
(i) If the Net Proceeds (hereinafter defined) shall be less than Two
Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000) and the
costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than Two Million Five
Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000), the Net Proceeds will be
disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the
conditions set forth in paragraph 4(e)(iii)(A) are met and Borrower
delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to
satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance
with the terms of this Deed of Trust.
(ii) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than Two Million
Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000) or the costs of
completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than Two Million Five
Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000) Lender shall make the Net
Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions
of this paragraph 4. The term "NET PROCEEDS" for purposes of this
paragraph 4 shall mean: (A) the net amount of all insurance proceeds
received by Lender pursuant to paragraph 3(a)(i), (iv), (vi), (ix) and (x)
(and any similar or comparable types of insurance obtained pursuant to
paragraph 3(a)(xi)) as a result of such damage or destruction, after
deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited
to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same ("INSURANCE
PROCEEDS"), or (B) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its
reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable
counsel fees), if any, actually incurred in collecting same ("CONDEMNATION
PROCEEDS"), whichever the case may be.
(iii) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for
Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds,
less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the
Improvements has been
-11-
damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or
other casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation
Proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting
the Premises is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter
or periphery of the Premises, and no portion of the Improvements is
located in such land;
(C) The Required Leases (hereinafter defined) and Leases
demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater
than the Rentable Space Percentage (hereinafter defined) of the
total rentable space in the Improvements shall remain in full force
and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration,
notwithstanding the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or
taking, whichever the case may be, and will require the tenants
thereunder to make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at
their sole cost and expense. The term (x) "RENTABLE SPACE
PERCENTAGE" shall mean (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are
Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to seventy-five
percent (75%) and (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation
Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%)
which Rentable Space Percentage shall, in each case, include each of
the Required Leases. For purposes of the foregoing, the "REQUIRED
LEASES" shall mean, collectively, the Leases with Xxxxx Fargo Bank,
National Association, Xxxxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP and Oaktree
Capital or any replacement Lease executed and delivered in
accordance with the terms and provisions of paragraph 8 hereof with
respect to the space demised to any of the foregoing tenants,
provided such replacement Lease demises not less than 50,000 square
feet;
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as
reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days
after such damage or destruction or taking, whichever the case may
be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory
completion;
(E) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating
deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest
under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Trust
Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other
casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered out
of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in
paragraph 3(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of
Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be
completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months
prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such
completion under the terms of any Required Lease, (3) such time as
may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or
regulation in order to repair and restore the Property to the
condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty
or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately
prior to such taking, as applicable or (4) the expiration of the
insurance coverage referred to in paragraph 3(a)(iii);
12
(G) the Trust Property and the use thereof after the
Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all
applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations and
all necessary operating or reciprocal easement agreements for
the operation and maintenance of the Property are, or remain,
in effect;
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by
Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in
compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules and
regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable
environmental laws); and
(I) such fire or other casualty or taking, as
applicable, does not result in a material loss of access to
the Trust Property.
(iv) Unless such amounts are payable to Borrower pursuant to
this paragraph 4, the Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an
interest-bearing account for the benefit of Borrower (which interest
shall be added to and become a part of the Net Proceeds) and, until
disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph 4, shall
constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under
the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to,
or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the
Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender
that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except
to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested
disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in
full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders,
mechanic's or materialman's liens or notices of intention to file same,
or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the
Trust Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either
been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of
record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable
satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the title insurance
policy.
(v) All plans and specifications required in connection with
any Restoration following a Casualty or Condemnation resulting in Net
Proceeds of $2,500,000 or more shall be subject to prior review and
reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent
consulting engineer selected by Lender (the "CASUALTY CONSULTANT")
provided that if the correspondence from Borrower to Lender requesting
approval of any such plans and specifications (or contractors,
subcontractors or materialmen in connection therewith) contains a bold
faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page stating that "IF
YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN 15
BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN", and if Lender
fails to respond to such request for approval in writing within fifteen
(15) Business Days after receipt by Lender of such written request, the
related plans and specifications and all information reasonably
required in order to adequately review the same, then such approval
will be deemed given. Lender shall have the use of the plans and
specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or
obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in any Restoration
following a Casualty or Condemnation resulting in Net Proceeds of
$2,500,000 or more, as well as the contracts
-13-
under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review
and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, which acceptance
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All costs
and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net
Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation,
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant's
fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(vi) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make
disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the
costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of
the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the
Casualty Retainage. The term "CASUALTY RETAINAGE" shall mean an amount
equal to ten percent (10%) of the hard costs actually incurred for work
in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty
Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty
Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth above in this paragraph 4(e), be less than the
amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors
and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage
shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender
that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph 4(e) and that all approvals necessary for
the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all
appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender
receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the
Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the
Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the
portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any
contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as
of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that
the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily
completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with
the provisions of the contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's
contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the
lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested
by Lender or by the title company issuing the title insurance policy,
and Lender receives an endorsement to the title insurance policy
insuring the continued priority of the lien of the this Deed of Trust
and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If
required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty
Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has
issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman.
(vii) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of
the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(viii) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed
balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in
consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full
the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant
to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration,
Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the "NET PROCEEDS DEFICIENCY")
with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall
be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be
held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually
-14-
incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions
applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so
disbursed pursuant to this paragraph 4(e) shall constitute additional
security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(ix) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining
balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender
after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration
has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph
4(e), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that
all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in
full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of
Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note,
this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents.
(x) Notwithstanding the last sentence of paragraph 3(a)(iii)
and provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, proceeds received by
Lender on account of the rental or business interruption insurance
specified in paragraph 3(a)(iii) above with respect to any Casualty
shall be deposited by Lender directly into the Cash Collateral Account
(as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) and allocated as Rents in
accordance with paragraph 10(a)(i) through (xi) of the Note but (a)
only to the extent it reflects a replacement for (i) lost Rents that
would have been due under Leases existing on the date of such Casualty,
and/or (ii) lost Rents under Leases that had not yet been executed and
delivered at the time of such Casualty which Borrower has proven to the
insurer under the related Policy would have been due under such Leases
(and then only to the extent such proceeds disbursed by such insurer
reflect a replacement for such past due Rents) and (b) only to the
extent necessary to fully make the disbursements required by paragraph
10(a)(i) through (xi) of the Note. All other such proceeds shall be
held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with this paragraph 4(e).
(f) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the
Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant
to paragraph 4(e)(ix) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment
of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the
discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to
Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion. So long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any application of Net
Proceeds to the Debt shall not require any payment of the Yield Maintenance
Premium or any other premium or penalty.
5. PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 6
hereof, Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, water rates and sewer rents,
now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Trust Property or any
part thereof (the "TAXES") on or before the last date prior to which any
interest, late fees or penalties would begin to accrue (the "DELINQUENCY DATE")
and all ground rents, maintenance charges, other impositions, and other charges,
including, without limitation, vault charges and license fees for the use of
vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Premises, now or hereafter levied
or assessed or imposed against the Trust Property or any part thereof (the
"OTHER CHARGES") as the same become due and payable. Borrower will deliver to
Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to
-15-
Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then
delinquent no later than the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would
otherwise be delinquent if not paid; provided, however, Borrower shall not be
required to deliver to Lender such evidence of payment with respect to any Taxes
or Other Charges that are paid by Lender pursuant to paragraph 6 hereof.
Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any
lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the
Trust Property, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the
Trust Property.
6. TAX AND INSURANCE IMPOUND FUND; DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ESCROW FUND;
OUTSTANDING TENANT ALLOWANCE ESCROW FUND; XXXXXX XXXX ESCROW FUND; MINIMUM
OCCUPANCY ESCROW FUND; REPLACEMENT/LEASING ESCROW FUND.
(a) Borrower shall pay to Lender (i) (A) with respect to Taxes that are
required to be paid prior to December 10, 2003 (which date is the last date
prior to which any interest, late fees or penalties would commence accruing with
respect to Taxes due and payable on November 1, 2003), on the date hereof an
amount equal to $1,187,817 and on each Payment Date (as defined in the Note) up
to and including the Payment Date occurring in November, 2003, an amount equal
to $296,954 and (B) on each Payment Date from and after the Payment Date
occurring in December, 2003, one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will
be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate
with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days
prior to their Delinquency Date, and (ii) (A) on the date hereof, an amount
equal to $168,460 and (B) (1) for so long as the applicable Blanket Insurance
Premium Financing Arrangement remains in full force and effect, on each Payment
Date (as defined in the Note) the Financing Installment for the next occurring
payment under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement
and/or (2) with respect to any Insurance Premiums not covered by a Blanket
Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, on each Payment Date (as defined in the
Note) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be
payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the
expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay
all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of
the Policies (said amounts in (i) and (ii) above hereinafter called the "TAX AND
INSURANCE IMPOUND FUND"). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund
to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower
pursuant to paragraphs 3 and 5 hereof and/or to payments due to the applicable
finance company under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing
Arrangement, as applicable. In making any payment relating to the Tax and
Insurance Impound Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or
estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or
insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the
accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax,
assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount
of the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and
Insurance Premiums pursuant to paragraphs 3 and 5 hereof, Lender shall, in its
sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against
future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund. In allocating
such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to
be the owner of the Trust Property. If at any time Lender determines that the
Tax and Insurance Impound Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay the items
set forth in (i) and (ii) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such
determination
-16-
and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that
Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30)
days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or expiration of the Policies, as the
case may be. Until expended or applied as above provided, any amounts in the Tax
and Insurance Impound Fund shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
The Tax and Insurance Impound Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be
commingled with other monies held by Lender. The Tax and Insurance Impound Fund
shall be held in an interest bearing account in Lender's name at a financial
institution selected by Lender in its sole discretion. All earnings or interest
on the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund shall become part of the Tax and Insurance
Impound Fund and shall be disbursed in accordance with this paragraph 6(a). If
Lender so elects at any time, Borrower shall provide, at Borrower's expense, a
tax service contract for the Term issued by a tax reporting agency acceptable to
Lender. If Lender does not so elect, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the
cost of making annual tax searches throughout the Term.
(b) Borrower shall pay to Lender on the date hereof the sum of
Fifty-Nine Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-Two and 00/100 Dollars ($59,272) which
shall be deposited with and held by Lender for repairs required to be made to
the Trust Property on or prior to the date that is six (6) months from the date
hereof, as such repairs are more particularly described on Exhibit C attached
hereto ("DEFERRED MAINTENANCE FUND"). Lender shall make disbursements from the
Deferred Maintenance Fund as requested by Borrower, and approved by Lender in
its sole discretion, no more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period

previously expended by Borrower for tenant improvements, leasing commissions,
capital improvements, replacements and/or repairs for which Borrower would have

two consecutive calendar quarters, (B) "NET OPERATING INCOME" shall mean as of
any date, (1) the annualized Gross Income from Operations (as hereinafter
defined) based on Leases In Place as of the most recently ended calendar quarter

pass-throughs or reimbursements paid by tenants under Leases In Place with
respect to the Trust Property of any nature (adjusted for projected increases in
fixed expenses as provided in the definition of "Expenses" herein) but excluding
sales, use and occupancy or other taxes on receipts required to be accounted for
by Borrower to any government or governmental agency, refunds and uncollectible
accounts, interest on credit accounts, any one-time or other non-periodic

occurrence of the month in which such pre-paid rent was otherwise payable),
proceeds of casualty insurance and condemnation awards (other than business
interruption or other loss of income insurance) and any disbursements to
Borrower from any escrow fund established pursuant to any Loan Document, (D)

obligated to pay rent (provided that Borrower shall not receive credit for rent
payable under such Lease during the period commencing on the latter to occur of
the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Lease term or
the date that the renewal or extension option in the Lease, if any, expires, if
(1) the Lease has not been renewed or extended pursuant to and in accordance
with the Lease, or (2) a replacement tenant has not executed a Lease for all or
a portion of the space then subject to the related Lease in Place in accordance
with the provisions of this Deed of Trust (but in the case of this clause (2),
Borrower shall only receive credit for rent payable under such Lease to the
extent of the space so re-let), and with respect to which no bankruptcy
proceeding has been commenced against the tenant that has not been dismissed;
provided that if a tenant that has a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least
"BBB-" or its equivalent ("investment grade") and no worse than a "stable"
outlook by any two of S&P, Xxxxx'x and/or Fitch, such tenant shall not be
required to be open for business; provided, further, that if a Lease In Place is
subject to any unescrowed rent concession or credit, such unescrowed rent
concession or credit shall be deducted from the rent payable under such Lease In
Place when determining the rent payable under such Leases In Place, provided
that such rent concession or credit shall be amortized over the primary lease
term (excluding any extension options), provided such primary lease term shall
be reduced by assuming that any and all lease cancellation options contained in
such Lease are exercised. Above market rents payable under Leases In Place will
be adjusted, in Lender's reasonable determination, down to the applicable market
rents when determining the rent payable under such Lease In Place if the tenant

available information to Borrower), but excluding capital expenditures for the
Trust Property, tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions for the Trust
Property, depreciation, debt service, contributions to any reserves required
under the Loan Documents and extraordinary, non-recurring expenses. To the
extent that the definitions of Net Operating Income, Gross Income from
Operations, Operating Expenses and Leases in Place deviate from GAAP, the
definitions of such terms contained herein shall govern.
(g) (i) In lieu of making the payments to either of the Xxxxxx Xxxx
Escrow Fund, the Outstanding Tenant Allowance Escrow Fund, the Minimum Occupancy
Escrow Fund or the Replacement/Leasing Escrow Fund, Borrower may deliver to

the provisions of this Section 6(g). Additionally, Borrower may deliver to
Lender one or more Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6(g) in lieu of deposits previously made to the Xxxxxx Xxxx Escrow Fund,
the Outstanding Tenant Allowance Escrow Fund, the Minimum Occupancy Escrow Fund
or the Replacement/Leasing Escrow Fund and upon such delivery, provided that no
Event of Default is then continuing, obtain the release of such amounts
previously deposited. The aggregate amount of proceeds available to be drawn

the Outstanding Tenant Allowance Escrow Fund, the Minimum Occupancy Escrow Fund
or the Replacement/Leasing Escrow Fund, as applicable, shall at all times be at
least equal to the aggregate amount which Borrower is then required to have on

Fund, the Minimum Occupancy Escrow Fund and/or the Replacement/Leasing Escrow
Fund, as applicable, pursuant to this Deed of Trust. Borrower shall give Lender
no less than thirty (30) days notice of Borrower's election to deliver a Letter
of Credit and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender's reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith. Borrower shall not be

Lender, Borrower may replace a Letter of Credit with a cash deposit to the
Xxxxxx Xxxx Escrow Fund, the Outstanding Tenant Allowance Escrow Fund, the
Minimum Occupancy Escrow Fund or the Replacement/Leasing Escrow Fund. Prior to
the return of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the
amount that would have accumulated in the Xxxxxx Xxxx Escrow Fund, the
Outstanding Tenant Allowance Escrow Fund, the Minimum Occupancy Escrow Fund or
the Replacement/Leasing Escrow Fund, as applicable, and not been disbursed in
accordance with this Deed of Trust if such Letter of Credit had not been
delivered. Each Letter of Credit delivered under this Deed of Trust shall be
additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of
Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for
which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of
Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender
may determine. On the Maturity Date, any such Letter of Credit may be applied to
reduce the Debt. In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a
Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust,
unless Borrower has deposited cash in the applicable reserve fund sufficient to
-23-
replace the Letter of Credit as provided above, Lender shall have the additional
rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (a) with respect to any evergreen
Letter of Credit, if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the
Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not
provided at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the
outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (b) with respect to any
Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date, if Lender has not received a
notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least
ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is
scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least
ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of
Credit is scheduled to expire; (c) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank
that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such
Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Deed
of Trust or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided); or (d) if Lender has
received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an
Eligible Institution (as hereinafter defined) and Borrower has not provided a
substitute Letter of Credit or deposited cash to replace the Letter of Credit
within five (5) days after Lender has received such notice. In the event that
Lender draws in full any Letter of Credit as a result of any of the events
described in clauses (a)-(d) above, provided there is no Event of Default then
continuing, (x) Lender shall deposit all proceeds of such Letter of Credit in
the applicable reserve fund that was not being funded with monthly cash deposits
as a result of such Letter of Credit having been posted and (y) if the proceeds
of such Letter of Credit exceed the amount that would have otherwise been on
deposit in such reserve fund in the event that Borrower had not posted such
Letter of Credit, any excess amounts shall remain on deposit in such reserve
fund and shall be credited against Borrower's future deposit obligations into
such reserve fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening
of an event specified in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above and shall not be liable for
any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the
Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.
(ii) For the purposes of this Section 6(e), (A) "LETTER OF
CREDIT" shall mean an irrevocable, unconditional, transferable, clean
sight draft letter of credit acceptable to Lender and the Rating
Agencies (either an evergreen letter of credit or one which does not

reimbursement obligation is not secured by the Trust Property or any
other property pledged to secure the Note in favor of Lender and
entitling Lender to draw thereon in New York, New York, issued by a
domestic Eligible Institution or the U.S. agency or branch of a foreign
Eligible Institution. If at any time the bank issuing any such Letter
of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution, subject to
Borrower's rights under clause (d) of paragraph 6(e)(i) above, Lender
shall have the right to draw down the same in full and hold the
proceeds of such draw in accordance with the applicable provisions
hereof and (B) "ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION" shall mean a federal or state
chartered depository institution or trust company insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation the short term unsecured debt
obligations or commercial paper of which are rated at least A-1 by S&P,

Borrower and may apply any sums then present in such funds to the payment of the
Debt in any order in its sole discretion. All reasonable third party

7. ALTERATIONS. Borrower shall obtain Lender's prior written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to any alterations
to the Improvements, the cost of which is reasonably anticipated to exceed
$1,000,000 (the "THRESHOLD AMOUNT") or that will have a material adverse effect
on Borrower's financial condition, the use, operation or value of the Trust
Property or the net operating income with respect to the Trust Property, other
than (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease
executed on or before the date hereof, (b) tenant improvement work performed
pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Lease executed after the date hereof
and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any
utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any
building constituting a part of any Improvements (it being understood that the
foregoing provision shall not require Lender's consent to Tenants' exterior
signage pursuant to any Lease approved by Lender in accordance with the terms
and provisions of this Deed of Trust) or (c) alterations performed in connection
with the restoration of the Trust Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or
Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust.
If Lender fails to respond to a request for consent under this paragraph 7
within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, such consent shall be deemed
granted, provided that such request shall have been accompanied by all
information requested by Lender or reasonably necessary for Lender to evaluate
such request and shall have clearly stated, in 14 point type or greater, that if
Lender fails to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days, Lender's
consent shall be deemed to have been granted. If Lender refuses to grant such
consent, Lender shall specify in writing the reasons for such refusal. Any
approval by Lender of the plans, specifications or working drawings for
alterations of the Trust Property shall not create responsibility or liability
on behalf of Lender for their completeness, design, sufficiency or their
compliance with applicable laws. Lender may condition any such approval upon
receipt of a certificate of compliance with applicable laws from an independent
architect, engineer, or other person reasonably acceptable to Lender. If the
total unpaid amounts due and payable with
-28-
respect to alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid
or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or paid from escrow accounts
established hereunder) shall at any time exceed the Threshold Amount, Borrower
shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and
as additional security for Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents any
of the following: (1) cash, (2) U.S. Treasury securities, (3) other securities
having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies
(hereinafter defined) have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself,
result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if
higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any securitization of
the Loans (a "SECURITIZATION"), or if a Securitization has not occurred, any
ratings to be assigned in connection with a Securitization, or (4) a Letter of
Credit. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total
unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements (other than such
amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or from escrow
accounts established hereunder) over the Threshold Amount. Upon completion of
the alterations to the satisfaction of Lender in its reasonable discretion
Lender shall promptly return to Borrower such additional security. For purposes
of this Deed of Trust, "RATING AGENCIES" shall mean, prior to the final
Securitization of the Loans, each of S&P, Xxxxx'x and Fitch, Inc., or any other
nationally recognized statistical rating agency which has been designated by
Lender and, after the final Securitization of the Loans, shall mean any of the
foregoing that have rated any Securities.
8. LEASES AND RENTS.
(a) Borrower does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns to
Lender, all Borrower's right, title and interest in 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. Such assignment to Lender shall not be construed to bind Lender to the
performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any
such Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Lender. Borrower agrees to
execute and deliver to Lender such additional instruments, in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender, as may hereafter be requested by Lender to further
evidence and confirm such assignment. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this
paragraph, Lender grants to Borrower a revocable license to operate and manage
the Trust Property and to collect the Rents. Borrower shall hold the Rents, or a
portion thereof, sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt, in
trust for the benefit of Lender for use in the payment of such sums. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default and prior to the acceptance of a cure thereof
by Lender, without the need for notice or demand, the license granted to
Borrower herein shall automatically be revoked, and Lender shall immediately be
entitled to possession of all Rents, whether or not Lender enters upon or takes
control of the Trust Property. Upon the acceptance by Lender of a cure of any
Event of Default, Lender shall reinstate the license granted to Borrower herein.
Lender is hereby granted and assigned by Borrower the right, at its option, upon
revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Trust Property in
person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver to collect the Rents. Any Rents
collected after the revocation of the license may be applied toward payment of
the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall
deem proper.
(b) All Leases shall be subordinate to this Deed of Trust and the
tenant thereunder shall agree to attorn to Lender either pursuant to the Lease
or a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement executed by such
tenant and Lender. None of the
-29-
Leases shall contain any option to purchase, any right of first refusal to
purchase or any right to terminate the lease term (except for termination rights
(i) set forth in Leases executed prior to, or on, the date hereof or (ii)
arising from a taking or the destruction of all or substantially all of the
Trust Property or all or substantially all of a tenant's demised premises).
Leases executed after the date hereof shall not contain any provisions which
adversely affect the Trust Property or which might adversely affect the rights
of any holder of the Loans without the prior written consent of Lender. Each
tenant shall conduct business only in that portion of the Trust Property covered
by its lease. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies
of all Leases.
(c) Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of Lender, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned (i) enter into any
Lease of all or any part of the Trust Property in excess of 27,013 rentable
square feet (a "MAJOR LEASE"), (ii) cancel, terminate (other than as a result of
a tenant default thereunder), abridge or otherwise modify the terms of any Major
Lease unless such action is required by the terms thereof, or accept a surrender
thereof, (iii) consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Major Lease
not in accordance with its terms, (iv) cancel, terminate, abridge or otherwise
modify any guaranty of any Major Lease or the terms thereof, (v) accept
prepayments of installments of Rents for a period of more than one (1) month in
advance (other than estimated payments of reimbursable expenses paid by tenants
pursuant to their Leases) or (vi) further assign the whole or any part of the
Leases or the Rents. If Lender fails to respond to a request for consent under
this paragraph 8(c) within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, such
consent shall be deemed granted, provided that such request shall have been
accompanied by all information requested by Lender or reasonably necessary for
Lender to evaluate such request and shall have clearly stated, in 14 point type
or greater, that if Lender fails to respond to such request within ten (10)
Business Days, Lender's consent shall be deemed to have been granted. In the
event that Lender refuses to grant any such consent, Lender shall specify in
writing the reasons for such refusal. In addition, Borrower shall not (A) lease
all or any part of the Trust Property, (B) cancel, terminate (other than as a
result of a tenant default thereunder), abridge or otherwise modify the terms of
any Lease, or accept a surrender thereof, (C) consent to any assignment of or
subletting under any Lease not in accordance with its terms or (D) cancel,
terminate, abridge or otherwise modify any guaranty of any Lease or the terms
thereof, unless such actions are exercised for a commercially reasonable purpose
in arms-length transactions for market rate terms.
(d) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the material obligations
imposed upon the lessor, grantor or licensor, as applicable, under the Leases
and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Leases
as security for the Debt; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all
notices of default which Borrower shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall
enforce all the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases
upon the part of the lessee, grantee or licensee, as applicable, thereunder to
be observed or performed, short of termination thereof (unless by reason of
default thereunder); (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents (other than
estimated payments of reimbursable expenses paid by tenants pursuant to their
Leases) more than one (1) month in advance; (v) shall not execute any other
assignment of the lessor's interest in the Leases or the Rents; (vi) shall, upon
request of Lender, request and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and
deliver to Lender tenant estoppel certificates from each commercial tenant at
the Trust Property in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender,
provided that Borrower shall not be required to deliver such certificates
-30-
more frequently than two (2) times in any calendar year; and (vii) shall execute
and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations
and assignments in connection with the Trust Property as Lender shall from time
to time reasonably require.
(e) All security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash or any other
form, shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower and, if cash,
shall be deposited by Borrower at such commercial or savings bank or banks, or
otherwise held in compliance with applicable law, as may be reasonably
satisfactory to Lender. Any bond or other instrument which Borrower is permitted
to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable legal
requirements shall be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount of
such deposits unless replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove described, shall
(if issued after the date hereof) be fully assignable to Lender and shall, in
all respects, comply with any applicable legal requirements and otherwise be
reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall, upon request, provide Lender
with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower's compliance with
the foregoing. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender's request, if permitted by any
applicable legal requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and
any interest theretofore earned thereon) with respect to all or any portion of
the Trust Property, to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the Leases.
9. MAINTENANCE AND USE OF TRUST PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause the
Trust Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. The
Improvements and the Equipment shall not be removed, demolished or materially
altered without the consent of Lender except for (a) tenant improvements
permitted to be made without the consent of Lender pursuant to the express terms
of any Lease approved or deemed approved by Lender pursuant to paragraph 8
hereof, (b) normal replacement of the Equipment and (c) work required to be made
by reason of the occurrence of an emergency (i.e., an unexpected event which
threatens imminent harm to persons or the Trust Property) and with respect to
which it would be impracticable, under the circumstances, to obtain Lender's
prior consent thereto, provided that Borrower shall notify Lender as promptly as
practicable with respect to any such emergency work performed by Borrower.
Borrower shall promptly comply in all material respects with all laws, orders
and ordinances affecting Borrower and the Trust Property (including, without
limitation, Prescribed Laws), or the use thereof; provided, however, that after
prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and
with due diligence, such law, order and/or ordinance, provided that (i) no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall not be
prohibited by the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is
subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall
be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances;
(iii) neither the Trust Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will
be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv)
Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with such law,
order and/or ordinance and pay all costs, interest and penalties which may be
payable in connection therewith; and (v) such proceeding shall suspend the
requirement of Borrower to comply with such law, order and/or ordinance.
Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in
any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private
restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Trust
Property or any part thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of
all or any portion of the Trust Property is or shall become a nonconforming use,
Borrower will not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be
-31-
discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Lender.
Borrower shall not (i) change the use of the Trust Property, (ii) permit or
suffer to occur any waste on or to the Trust Property or to any portion thereof
or (iii) take any steps whatsoever to convert the Trust Property, or any portion
thereof, to a condominium or cooperative form of management, other than in
accordance with paragraph 10(i) hereof. Borrower will not install or permit to
be installed on the Premises any underground storage tank.
10. TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE TRUST PROPERTY.
(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the
creditworthiness and experience of Borrower in owning and operating properties
such as the Trust Property in agreeing to make the Loans, and that Lender will
continue to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Trust Property as a means of
maintaining the value of the Trust Property as security for repayment of the
Debt. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the
value of the Trust Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the
repayment of the Debt, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Trust
Property. For purposes of this paragraph 10, an "AFFILIATED MANAGER" shall mean
any managing agent of the Trust Property (other than Xxxxxxx Services, Inc.) in

such guarantor, "GUARANTOR") has, directly or indirectly, any legal, beneficial
or economic interest; a "RESTRICTED PARTY" shall mean Borrower, the Guarantor,
or any Affiliated Manager or any shareholder, partner, member or non-member
manager, or any direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner, of Borrower, the

"REIT" ), any Permitted Institutional Transferee (as hereinafter defined) or any
Person owning a direct or indirect interest in the REIT, the OP or any Permitted
Institutional Transferee); and a "SALE OR PLEDGE" shall mean a voluntary or
involuntary sale, conveyance, transfer or pledge of a legal or beneficial
interest.
(b) Except as expressly permitted pursuant to paragraph 10(h) hereof,
Borrower shall not sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge,
assign, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of
(directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or
otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) the Trust Property
or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein or permit a Sale
or Pledge of an interest in any Restricted Party (collectively a "TRANSFER"),
other than pursuant to Leases of space in the Improvements to tenants in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph 8, without the prior written consent
of Lender.
(c) A Transfer shall include, but not be limited to, (i) an installment
sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Trust Property or any part
thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (ii) an agreement by Borrower
leasing all or a substantial part of the Trust Property for other than actual
occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer
of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower's right, title and interest
in and to any Leases or any Rents; (iii) if a Restricted Party is a corporation,
any merger, consolidation or Sale or Pledge of such corporation's stock or the
creation or issuance of new stock such that more than ten percent (10%) of such
corporation's stock shall be vested in a party or parties who are not
stockholders as of the date hereof; (iv) if a Restricted Party is a limited or
general partnership or joint venture, any merger or consolidation of such
Restricted Party or the change,
-32-
removal, resignation or addition of a general partner thereof or the Sale or
Pledge of the partnership interest of any general partner of such Restricted
Party or any profits or proceeds relating to such partnership interest, or the
Sale or Pledge of limited partnership interests of such Restricted Party or any
profits or proceeds relating to such limited partnership interests or the
creation or issuance of new limited partnership interests of such Restricted
Party; (v) if a Restricted Party is a limited liability company, any merger or
consolidation of such Restricted Party or the change, removal, resignation or
addition of a managing member or non-member manager (or if no managing member,
any member) of such Restricted Party or the Sale or Pledge of the membership
interest of a managing member (or if no managing member, any member) of such
Restricted Party or any profits or proceeds relating to such membership
interest, or the Sale or Pledge of non-managing membership interests of such
Restricted Party or the creation or issuance of new non-managing membership
interests of such Restricted Party such that more than ten percent (10%) of such
limited liability company's non-managing membership interest shall be vested in
a party or parties who are not members as of the date hereof; (vi) if a
Restricted Party is a trust or nominee trust, any merger, consolidation or the
Sale or Pledge of the legal or beneficial interest in a Restricted Party or the
creation or issuance of new legal or beneficial interests; or (vii) the removal
or the resignation of the managing agent (including, without limitation, an
Affiliated Manager) without Lender's consent other than in accordance with
paragraph 59.

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,
alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Trust Property in
violation of this paragraph 10 without Lender's consent. This provision shall
apply to every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or
transfer of the Trust Property regardless of whether voluntary or not, or
whether or not Lender has consented to any previous sale, conveyance,
alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Trust Property.
(e) Lender's consent to one sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage,
encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Trust Property shall not be deemed to be
a waiver of Lender's right to require such consent to any future occurrence of
same. Any sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or
transfer of the Trust Property made in contravention of this paragraph shall be
null and void and of no force and effect.
(f) Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender on demand
for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, title search costs and title insurance
endorsement premiums) incurred by Lender in connection with the review, approval
and documentation of any such sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage,
encumbrance, pledge or transfer.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
paragraph 10, so long as any guaranty of any portion of the Loans by Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx III and/or any of his Affiliates is in effect (other than (i) that
certain Non-Recourse Guaranty dated as of the date hereof made by Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx III for the benefit of Lender, (ii) that certain Non-Recourse Guaranty
dated as of the date hereof made by the OP for the benefit of Lender and (iii)
any similar non-recourse guaranty in favor of Lender given in substitution for
the foregoing items (i)
-33-
or (ii)), then at no time that any portion of the Loans remains outstanding
shall Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and/or any of his Affiliates own, directly or indirectly
(including through any Affiliate), more than fifty-eight percent (58%) of the
aggregate percentage interests in the Borrower unless, in connection with any
increase in such ownership, (x) the conditions set forth in subparagraphs
10(h)(i)(C) through (F) are or remain satisfied, and (y) if requested by any
Rating Agency, Borrower shall deliver a non-consolidation opinion acceptable to
Lender and the Rating Agencies with respect to such transfer which may be relied
upon by Lender, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel and successors
and assigns; provided, however, that the restrictions in this Paragraph 10(g)
shall no longer be effective upon the acquisition by the OP of 100% of the
membership interests in Borrower Manager (as hereinafter defined) and Borrower
Member (as hereinafter defined).
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
paragraph 10 (including, without limitation, paragraph 10(b) and paragraph
10(c)), other than paragraph 10(g), the following Transfers shall not require
the prior written consent of Lender:
(i) Transfers of direct or indirect interests in any Restricted Party
provided that the following conditions are satisfied:
A. after taking into account any prior
Transfers pursuant to this subparagraph,
whether to the proposed transferee or
otherwise, no such Transfer (or series of
Transfers) shall result in (1) the proposed
transferee, together with all members of
his/her immediate family or any Affiliates
thereof, owning in the aggregate (directly,
indirectly or beneficially) more than
forty-nine percent (49%) of the interests in
Borrower (or any entity directly or
indirectly holding an interest in Borrower
that is a Restricted Party), or (2) a
Transfer in the aggregate of more than
forty-nine percent (49%) of the interests in
Borrower as of the date hereof, except in
either case for Transfers to a direct or
indirect interest holder of Borrower as of

members of Borrower whose approval is required by the terms of Borrower's
organizational documents have duly approved the transactions contemplated by the

execution by Borrower have been duly and validly executed and delivered by
Borrower.

subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including
the defense of usury.

interest on, and other sums or amounts due and payable under, the Loan
Documents.

performance of the Loan Documents by the Borrower will not cause or constitute a
default under or conflict with the organizational documents of Borrower, any
Guarantor or any general partner or managing member of Borrower or any
Guarantor. The execution, delivery and performance of the obligations imposed on
Borrower under the Loan Documents will not cause Borrower to be in default,

agreement, judgment or order to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower
is bound.

charges or encumbrances other than the Permitted Exceptions and liens, charges
or encumbrances otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.

cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise
by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Deed of Trust and the Other
Loan Document) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class
exemption) prohibited transaction under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").
(ii) Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to
Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time
throughout the term of the Loans, as requested by Lender in its sole

defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA,
or a "governmental plan" within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA;
(B) Borrower is not subject to state statutes regulating investments
and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (C)

C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(b)(2);
(y) Less than 25 percent of each outstanding class of

"real estate operating company" within the meaning of 29
C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(c) or (e) or an investment company
registered under The Investment Company Act of 1940.
(iii) As of the date hereof and throughout the term of this
Deed of Trust, Borrower is not and will not be an "employee benefit
plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I
of ERISA, and the assets of Borrower do not and will not constitute
"plan assets" of one or more such plans for purposes of Title I of

Trust, Borrower is not and will not be a "governmental plan" within the
meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and transactions by or with Borrower
are not and will not be subject to state statutes applicable to

(p) No Other Obligations. The Borrower has no material financial
obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other
agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which the

incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Trust Property and other
than obligations under the Leases, this Deed of Trust and the other Loan
Documents.

Loans or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud
any creditor and (2) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its

the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of the Borrower's assets exceed and
will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents,
exceed the Borrower's total liabilities, including, without limitation,
subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair
saleable value of the Borrower's assets is and will, immediately following the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than the Borrower's
probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities
or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. The Borrower's assets do
not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents
will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as
conducted or as proposed to be conducted. The Borrower does not intend to, and
does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including, without
limitation, contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to
pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be
payable on or in respect of obligations of the Borrower).

meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (2) a "holding

either a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" within the meaning of the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (3) subject to any
other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate
its ability to borrow money.
(s) Access/Utilities. The Trust Property has adequate rights of access
to public ways and is served by adequate water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm
drain facilities. Other than as disclosed on the Survey (as hereinafter
defined), all public utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment of
the Trust Property as presently used and enjoyed are located in the public
right-of-way abutting the Trust Property, and all such utilities are connected
so as to serve the Trust Property without passing over other property. All roads
necessary for the full utilization of the Trust Property for its current purpose
have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all governmental
authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of the Trust
Property.
-42-
(t) Taxes Paid. Borrower has filed all federal, state, county and
municipal tax returns required to have been filed by Borrower, and, except as
otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing, has paid all taxes which have become
due pursuant to such returns or to any notice of assessment received by
Borrower, and Borrower has no knowledge of any basis for additional assessment

Property for real estate tax purposes resulting from transactions occurring in
connection with the contribution of an indirect interest in the Trust Property
to the OP on or prior to the date hereof.

multiple tax lots; no portion of said tax lot(s) covers property other than the

contemplated improvements to the Trust Property that may result in such special
or other assessments.

(x) Intentionally Omitted.
(y) Misstatements of Fact. No statement of fact made in the Loan
Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
material fact known to Borrower or its Affiliates necessary to make statements
contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact presently known to
the Borrower which has not been disclosed which materially adversely affects,
nor as far as the Borrower can foresee, might materially adversely affect the
business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
(z) Condition of Improvements. Except as may be expressly disclosed
in the engineering reports obtained and submitted to Lender, the Trust Property
has not been damaged by fire, water, wind or other cause of loss which has not
been fully restored in all material respects.
(aa) No Insolvency or Judgment. Neither Borrower, nor any general
partner or member of Borrower, nor any Guarantor of the Loans is currently (a)
the subject of or a party to any completed or pending bankruptcy, reorganization
or insolvency proceeding; or (b) the subject of any judgment unsatisfied of
record or docketed in any court of the state in which the Trust Property is
located or in any other court located in the United States. The Loans will not
render the Borrower nor any general partner or member of Borrower insolvent. As
used herein, the term "insolvent" means that the sum total of all of an entity's
liabilities (whether secured or unsecured, contingent or fixed, or liquidated or
unliquidated) is in excess of the value of all such entity's non-exempt assets,
i.e., all of the assets of the entity that are available to satisfy claims of
creditors.

Trust has been taken in condemnation or other like proceeding to an extent which

the usefulness of such property for
-43-
the purposes for which it is currently being operated, nor is any proceeding
pending, threatened or known to be contemplated for the partial or total
condemnation or taking of the Trust Property.
(cc) No Labor or Materialmen Claims. Except for those improvements
and other work performed in the ordinary course of business with respect to
which any applicable payments are not more than 60 days past due, all parties
furnishing labor and materials for which payment is due and payable as of the
date hereof have been paid in full and, except for such liens or claims insured
against by the policy of title insurance to be issued in connection with the
Loans, there are no mechanics', laborers' or materialmens' liens or claims
outstanding for work, labor or materials affecting the Trust Property, whether
prior to, equal with or subordinate to the lien of the Deed of Trust.
(dd) No Purchase Options. No tenant, person, party, firm,
corporation or other entity has an option to purchase the Trust Property, any
portion thereof or any interest therein other than options, rights of first
refusal and similar rights to lease space in the Improvements granted to a
tenant pursuant to its respective Lease or in another writing otherwise
delivered to Lender and other than rights of first refusal contained in
operating agreements of members of Borrower in favor of members of the members
of Borrower in the event of a sale of the Trust Property by Borrower.

than the Leases described in the rent roll delivered to Lender in connection
with this Deed of Trust, together with the schedules and the exhibits attached
to such rent roll (collectively, the "RENT ROLL") and any existing subleases
thereunder. No person has any possessory interest in the Trust Property or right
to occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases

and correct copies of the Leases have been delivered by Borrower to Lender and
the Leases have not been further modified or amended, except as disclosed to
Lender in writing on or prior to the date hereof; (iv) each Lease is in full
force and effect; (v) except as disclosed on the Rent Roll or in any tenant
estoppels delivered to Lender in connection with the Loans (collectively, the
"TENANT ESTOPPELS"), neither Borrower nor, to Borrower's knowledge, any tenant
under any Lease is in default under any of the material terms, covenants or
provisions of the Lease, and, except as disclosed to Lender in writing, Borrower
knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or
both, would constitute an event of default under any Lease; (vi) except as
expressly set forth in the Leases, the Tenant Estoppels or on the Rent Roll,
there are no offsets or defenses to the payment of any portion of the Rents; and
(vii) except as disclosed on the Rent Roll or in any Tenant Estoppel, all Rents
due and payable under each Lease have been paid in full and, except for
estimated payments of operating expenses and taxes made by tenants in accordance
with their Leases, no said Rents have been paid more than one (1) month in
advance of the due dates thereof. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the
term "Lease" shall exclude subleases.

wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Trust
Property, (ii) no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Trust
Property, and (iii) no easements or other encumbrances upon the Premises
encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to materially and adversely affect

reflect any material matter affecting the Premises or the Improvements or the
title thereto.

Borrower or, to Borrower's knowledge, any other person in occupancy of or
involved with the operation or use of the Trust Property any act or omission
affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of
forfeiture as against the Trust Property or any part thereof or any monies paid
in performance of Borrower's obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

as of October 1, 1984, as amended (the "INITIAL MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT"), between
Borrower's predecessor-in-interest and Xxxxxxx Partners Development, Ltd., a
California limited partnership ("INITIAL MANAGER"), pursuant to which Initial
Manager operates the Trust Property is in full force and effect and there is no
default or violation by any party thereunder. The fee due under the Initial
Management Agreement, and the terms and provisions of the Initial Management
Agreement, are subordinate to this Deed of Trust and Initial Manager agrees to
attorn to Lender pursuant to and in accordance with that certain Assignment and
Subordination of Management Agreement dated of even date herewith by and among

against loss.
(iii) "INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR" OR "INDEPENDENT MANAGER" means a person
who is not and will not be while serving and for the prior five (5) years

in a "special purpose" single member limited liability company that was to

single member of such limited liability company), director (other than an
Independent Director), manager (other than an Independent Manager),
employee, attorney, or counsel of Borrower or its Affiliates, (b) is not a
creditor, customer, supplier or other
-50-
person who derives any of its purchases or revenues from its activities

non-consolidation opinion letter dated the date hereof, delivered by Xxx, Castle
and Xxxxxxxxx LLP in connection with the Loans (the "INSOLVENCY OPINION"),
including, but not limited to, any exhibits attached thereto, are true and
correct in all material respects. Borrower has complied and will comply in all
material respects with all of the assumptions made with respect to it in the
Insolvency Opinion. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, each entity other than
the Borrower with respect to which an assumption is made in the Insolvency
Opinion has complied and will comply in all material respects with all of the
assumptions made with respect to it in the Insolvency Opinion.
13. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND NO DEFAULT AFFIDAVITS. After request
by Lender, Borrower shall within ten (10) days furnish Lender with a statement,
duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the amount of the original
principal amount of the Note, (ii) the unpaid principal amount of the Note,
(iii) the rate of interest of the Note, (iv) the date installments of interest
and/or principal were last paid, (v) any known offsets or defenses to the
payment of the Debt, if any, (vi) that the Note, this Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been
modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification; and (vii)
reaffirming all representations and warranties of Borrower set forth herein and
in the other Loan Documents as of the date requested by Lender or, to the extent
of any changes to any such representations and warranties, so stating such
changes.
14. CONTROLLING AGREEMENT. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to
be the intent of Borrower, and Lender at all times to comply with applicable
state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits
Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of
interest than under state law) and that this paragraph 14 (and the similar
paragraph contained in the Note) shall control every other covenant and
agreement in this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents. If the applicable
law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious
any amount called for under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents,
or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the
Debt, or if Lender's exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the
Note, or if any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any
interest in
-51-
excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower's and Lender's
express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be
credited on the principal balance of the Note and all other Debt without any
resulting prepayment penalty or premium (or, if the Note and all other Debt have
been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions
of the Note and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the
amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the
necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the
applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise
called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender
for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread
throughout the full stated term of the Debt until payment in full so that the
rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum
lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long
as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender
to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of
such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such
acceleration.
15. CHANGES IN LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is enacted or
adopted or amended after the date of this Deed of Trust which deducts the Debt
from the value of the Trust Property for the purpose of taxation or which
imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender's interest
in the Trust Property, Borrower will pay such tax, with interest and penalties
thereon, if any. In the event Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the
payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful or
taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury,
then in any such event, 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 without any prepayment consideration except that if an Event of Default
has occurred, then the Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional amount equal
to the Yield Maintenance Premium (as defined in the Note).
16. NO CREDITS ON ACCOUNT OF THE DEBT. 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 Trust Property, or any
part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the
assessed value of the Trust Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax
purposes by reason of this Deed of Trust or the Debt. In the event 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 without any prepayment consideration except
that if an Event of Default has occurred, then the Borrower shall pay to Lender
an additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium.
17. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. 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 or this Deed of Trust, or impose any
other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same, with interest
and penalties thereon, if any.
-52-
18. BOOKS AND RECORDS.
(a) The financial statements heretofore furnished to Lender are, as
of the dates specified therein, complete and correct in all material respects
and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the
Borrower and any other persons or entities that are the subject of such
financial statements, and are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Since the date of such financial statements, there has
been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operation or
business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.
(b) Borrower will maintain full and accurate books of accounts and
other records reflecting the results of the operations of the Trust Property and
will furnish to Lender on or before forty-five (45) days after the end of each
calendar quarter the following items, each certified by Borrower as being true
and correct in all material respects: (i) a written statement (rent roll) dated
as of the last day of each such calendar quarter identifying each of the Leases
(excluding subleases) by the term, space occupied, rental required to be paid,
security deposit paid, any rental concessions, and a report identifying any
defaults or payment delinquencies thereunder; (ii) monthly and year to date
operating statements prepared for each calendar month during each such calendar
quarter, noting Net Operating Income, Gross Income from Operations, and
Operating Expenses, and including an itemization of actual (not pro forma)
capital expenditures and other information necessary and sufficient under
generally accepted accounting practices to fairly represent the financial
position and results of operation of the Trust Property during such calendar
month, all in form satisfactory to Lender; (iii) a property balance sheet for
each such calendar quarter; (iv) a comparison of the budgeted income and
expenses and the actual income and expenses for year to date together with a
detailed explanation of any variances of five percent (5%) or more between
budgeted and actual amounts for such year to date period; and (v) a calculation
reflecting the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as hereinafter defined) as of the
last day of each such calendar quarter. Until a Securitization has occurred,
Borrower shall furnish monthly each of the items listed in the immediately
preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the end of such month. Within
one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each calendar year (provided,
however, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to provide Lender with any unaudited annual statements prior to such
date), Borrower shall furnish statements of its financial affairs and condition
including a balance sheet and a statement of profit and loss for the Borrower in
such detail as Lender may reasonably request, and setting forth the financial
condition and the income and expenses for the Trust Property for the immediately
preceding calendar year, which statements shall be prepared by Borrower.
Borrower's annual financial statements shall include (x) a list of the tenants,
if any, occupying more than twenty (20%) percent of the total floor area of the
Improvements, and (y) a breakdown showing the year in which each Lease then in
effect expires and the percentage of total floor area of the Improvements and
the percentage of base rent with respect to which Leases shall expire in each
such year, each such percentage to be expressed on both a per year and a
cumulative basis. Borrower's annual financial statements shall be accompanied by
a certificate executed by a financial officer of Borrower or the REIT, as
applicable, stating that each such annual financial statement presents fairly
the financial condition of the Trust Property being reported upon and shall be
audited by a "Big Four" accounting firm or other independent certified public
accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, which audited financial statements
may be in the form of schedules to the audited consolidated financial statements
of the REIT.
-53-
Each such annual financial statement shall be prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied or the method used
in connection with the financial statements delivered to Lender in connection
with the closing of the Loans. At any time and from time to time Borrower shall
deliver to Lender or its agents such other financial data as Lender or its
agents shall reasonably request with respect to the ownership, maintenance, use
and operation of the Trust Property.
(c) For the purposes of this Deed of Trust, the term "DEBT SERVICE
COVERAGE RATIO" shall mean a ratio for the applicable period in which: (A) the
numerator is the Net Operating Income (excluding interest on credit accounts)
for such period as set forth in the statements required hereunder and (B) the
denominator is the aggregate amount of principal and interest due and payable
for such period under the Note.
19. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall observe and
perform each and every material term to be observed or performed by Borrower
pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or
pertaining to the Trust Property.
20. FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and
without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every
such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of
assignment, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or continuation
statements, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time,
require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and
confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby deeded, mortgaged, given,
granted, bargained, sold, alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, pledged,
assigned and hypothecated or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which
Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or
for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of
this Deed of Trust or for filing, registering or recording this Deed of Trust or
for facilitating the sale of the Loans and the Loan Documents as described in
paragraph 61 below. Borrower, promptly upon demand, will execute and deliver and
hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of Borrower or without the
signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, one or more
financing statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments, to evidence more
effectively the security interest of Lender in the Trust Property. Upon
foreclosure, the appointment of a receiver or any other relevant action,
Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower and without expense to Lender, cooperate
fully and completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any license,
permit, agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the operation of or
the Trust Property. Borrower grants to Lender and Trustee upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default and prior to the acceptance of a cure thereof by 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
and Trustee at law and in equity, including, without limitation, such rights and
remedies available to Lender and Trustee pursuant to this paragraph.
21. RECORDING OF DEED OF TRUST, ETC. Borrower forthwith upon the
execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and thereafter, from time to time,
will cause this Deed of Trust, and any security instrument creating a lien or
security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Trust 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 the lien or security interest
hereof
-54-
upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Trust Property. Borrower will pay all
filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the
preparation, execution and acknowledgment of this Deed of Trust, any deed of
trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Trust
Property and any instrument of further assurance, and all federal, state, county
and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or
in connection with the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust, any deed of
trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Trust
Property or any instrument of further assurance, except where prohibited by law
so to do. Borrower shall hold harmless and indemnify Lender, its successors and
assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition of any tax
on the making and recording of this Deed of Trust.

Lender of the insolvency or bankruptcy filing of Borrower or the death,
insolvency or bankruptcy filing of any Guarantor.

payable at the option of Lender upon the happening of any one or more of the
following events of default (each an "EVENT OF DEFAULT"):
(a) if any portion of the Debt that is due on a Payment Date is not
paid on or before the related Payment Date or, for any payment other than
payments due on a Payment Date, the date on which such payment is due;
(b) subject to Borrower's right to contest as provided herein, if
any of the Taxes are not paid prior to the date that any interest, late fees or

when the same are due and payable (unless sums equaling the amount of Taxes and
Other Charges then due and payable have been delivered to Lender in accordance
with paragraph 6 hereof);
(c) if the Policies are not kept in full force and effect, or if the
Policies or certificates evidencing such Policies are not delivered to Lender
within fifteen (15) days after request;
(d) except as expressly permitted by the terms of this Deed of Trust
or the other Loan Documents, if Borrower transfers or encumbers any portion of
the Trust Property without Lender's prior written consent;
(e) if any representation or warranty of Borrower, or of any
Guarantor, made herein or in any other Loan Document or in any certificate,
report, financial statement or other instrument or document furnished to Lender
in connection with the Loans shall have been false or misleading in any material
respect when made, provided that if such misrepresentation was not intentional,
is susceptible to cure and Lender will not be adversely affected by a delay in
enforcing its remedy under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall have thirty (30)
days after notice thereof to cure such default;
(f) if Borrower or any Guarantor shall make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or if Borrower shall generally not be paying its debts as

ordinances affecting or which may be interpreted to affect the Trust Property
within thirty (30) days after Borrower first receives notice of any such
violations; provided, however, that if such violation is reasonably susceptible
of cure, but not within such thirty (30) day period and the applicable law or
ordinance permits such longer period within which to cure such violation, then
Borrower shall be permitted up to an additional sixty (60) days to cure such
violation provided that Borrower diligently and continuously pursues such cure;
(k) except as permitted in this Deed of Trust, the alteration,
improvement, demolition or removal of any of the Improvements without the prior
consent of Lender;
(l) if Borrower shall continue to be in default under any term,
covenant, or provision of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, beyond
applicable notice and/or cure periods contained in those documents;
(m) if Borrower fails to cure a default under any other term,
covenant or provision of this Deed of Trust within thirty (30) days after
Borrower first receives notice of any such default; provided, however, if such
default is reasonably susceptible of cure, but not within such thirty (30) day
period, then Borrower may be permitted up to an additional sixty (60) days to
cure such default provided that Borrower diligently and continuously pursues
such cure;
(n) if without Lender's prior written consent, except as otherwise
expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, (i) the Management Agreement is
terminated, (ii) the ownership, management or control of Manager is transferred,
(iii) there is a material change in the Management Agreement, or (iv) there
shall be a material default by Borrower under the Management Agreement that is
not cured within any applicable notice or cure period provided under the
Management Agreement;
-56-
(o) if Borrower ceases to continuously operate the Trust Property or
any material portion thereof as an office building for any reason whatsoever
(other than temporary cessation in connection with any repair or renovation
thereof undertaken with the consent of Lender);
(p) if any of the assumptions contained in the Insolvency Opinion,
or in any other "non-consolidation" opinion delivered to Lender in connection
with the Loans, or in any other "non-consolidation" delivered subsequent to the
closing of the Loans, is or shall become untrue in any respect; or
(q) if Borrower fails to comply with the covenants as to Prescribed
Laws set forth in paragraph 9 hereof.
24. LATE PAYMENT CHARGE. If any portion of the Debt is not paid on
or before the date on which such payment is due after the expiration of any
applicable grace period, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount
equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such due and unpaid portion of the
Debt or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray a
portion of the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and processing such
delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such
delinquent payment, and such amount shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
25. RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default and prior to the acceptance of a cure thereof by Lender or if Borrower
fails to make any payment (including, without limitation, any required payments
for taxes, insurance or to discharge any liens with respect to the Property) or
to do any act as herein provided, Lender may, but without any obligation to do
so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower
from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such
extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is
authorized to enter upon the Trust Property for such purposes or appear in,
defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Trust
Property or to foreclose this Deed of Trust or collect the Debt, and the cost
and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to
the extent permitted by law), with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in
the Note) for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was
incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the
Debt, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and
shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand.
26. ADDITIONAL REMEDIES.
(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, subject to the
requirements and limitations of applicable law, Lender or Trustee may take such
action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce
its rights against Borrower and in and to the Trust Property by Lender itself or
through Trustee or otherwise, including, without limitation, the following
actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time
and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without
impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender:
(i) declare the entire Debt to be immediately due and payable;
-57-
(ii) institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial or nonjudicial,
by advertisement or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this Deed
of Trust in which case the Trust Property or any interest therein may be
sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several
interests or portions and in any order or manner;
(iii) with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to

thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of
Borrower therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to the power
of sale contained herein or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an
entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after
such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law;
(v) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the
specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained
herein, or in any of the other Loan Documents;

proceedings for the enforcement of this Deed of Trust;
(vii) apply for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator
or conservator of the Trust Property, without notice and without regard
for the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard for the
solvency of the Borrower, any Guarantor or of any person, firm or other
entity liable for the payment of the Debt;
(viii) enforce Lender's interest in the Leases and Rents and enter
into or upon the Trust Property, either personally or by its agents,
nominees or attorneys and dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants
therefrom, and thereupon Lender may (A) use, operate, manage, control,
insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every
part of the Trust Property and conduct the business thereat; (B) complete
any construction on the Trust Property in such manner and form as Lender
deems advisable; (C) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements
and improvements to or on the Trust Property; (D) exercise all rights and
powers of Borrower with respect to the Trust Property, whether in the name
of Borrower or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to
make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and
demand, xxx for, collect and receive all Rents; and (E) apply the receipts
from the Trust Property to the payment of the Debt, after deducting
therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and
all amounts necessary to pay the taxes, assessments insurance and other
charges in connection with the Trust Property, as well as just and
reasonable compensation for the services of Lender, its counsel, agents
and employees;
(ix) 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
-58-
occupation of any portion of the Trust Property occupied by Borrower and
require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession to Lender of the Trust
Property or to such receiver and, in default thereof, evict Borrower by
summary proceedings or otherwise; or
(x) pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available at law
or in equity or under the Uniform Commercial Code including without
limitation the right to receive and/or establish a lock box for all Rents
proceeds from the Intangibles and any other receivables or rights to
payments of Borrower relating to the Trust Property.
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than
all of the Trust Property, this Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien on the
remaining portion of the Trust Property.
(b) The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this
paragraph, together with any other sums which then may be held by Lender under
this Deed of Trust, whether under the provisions of this paragraph or otherwise,
shall be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and
proportion as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
(c) Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, Lender 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 provision of law, Lender or Trustee, without further notice or
publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be
so adjourned.
(d) Upon the completion of any sale or sales pursuant hereto,
Lender, or an 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, conveying, assigning and transferring all
estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold. Lender
and Trustee are hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of
Borrower, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments,
transfers and deliveries of the Trust Property and rights so sold and for that
purpose Lender and Trustee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance,
assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with like power,
Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney or such
substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Except as may be
prohibited by applicable law, any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this
paragraph, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by
virtue of judicial proceedings or of 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 Borrower in and to the
properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in
equity against Borrower and against any and all persons claiming or who may
claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Borrower.
(e) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this paragraph, whether
made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial
proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Lender may bid
for and acquire the Trust Property or
-59-
any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the
purchase price by crediting upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting
therefrom the expenses of the sale and costs of the action and any other sums
which Lender is authorized to deduct under this Deed of Trust.
(f) Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, no recovery of
any judgment by Lender and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the
Trust Property or upon any other property of Borrower shall affect in any manner
or to any extent the lien of this Deed of Trust upon the Trust Property or any
part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder, but
such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue unimpaired as
before.
(g) Lender may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other action
brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in this
paragraph at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in Lender's
sole discretion and without prejudice to Lender.
(h) Lender may resort to any remedies and the security given by the
Note, this Deed of Trust or the Loan Documents in whole or in part, and in such
portions and in such order as determined by Lender's sole discretion. Except as
may be prohibited by applicable law, no such action shall in any way be
considered a waiver of any rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by
the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents. The failure of
Lender or Trustee to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in the Note,
this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents shall not be deemed a
waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation secured
by the Note, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents. No acceptance by
Lender of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no
payment by Lender of any obligation for which Borrower is liable hereunder shall
be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default with respect to Borrower, or
Borrower's liability to pay such obligation. Except as may be prohibited by
applicable law, no sale of all or any portion of the Trust Property, no
forbearance on the part of Lender or Trustee, and no extension of time for the
payment of the whole or any portion of the Debt or any other indulgence given by
Lender or Trustee to Borrower, shall operate to release or in any manner affect
the interest of Lender in the remaining Trust Property or the liability of
Borrower to pay the Debt. No waiver by Lender or Trustee shall be effective
unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. All
costs and expenses of Lender and Trustee in exercising the rights and remedies
under this paragraph 26 (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements
to the extent permitted by law), shall be paid by Borrower immediately upon
notice from Lender or Trustee, with interest at the Default Rate for the period
after notice from Lender or Trustee and such costs and expenses shall constitute
a portion of the Debt and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
(i) The interests and rights of Lender under the Note, this Deed of
Trust or in any of the other Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any
indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Lender
may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender, compromise,
release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Lender may grant
with respect to the Trust Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) any release
or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, Guarantor or surety of any of the
Debt.
-60-
27. RIGHT OF ENTRY. In addition to any other rights or remedies granted
under this Deed of Trust, Lender, Trustee and their agents, during the Term,
shall have the right upon reasonable notice to Borrower to enter and inspect the
Trust Property during normal business hours in a manner which does not
unreasonably interfere with tenants or occupants thereof. The cost of such
inspections or audits shall be borne by Borrower should Lender determine that an
Event of Default exists, including the cost of all follow up or additional
investigations or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Lender. The cost of
such inspections, if not paid for by Borrower promptly upon demand, may be added
to the principal balance of the sums due under the Note and this Deed of Trust
and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate if not paid
within five (5) days after such demand.
28. SECURITY AGREEMENT.
(a) This Deed of Trust is both a real property mortgage and a "security
agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Trust Property
includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests,
whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Trust Property.
Borrower by executing and delivering this Deed of Trust has granted and hereby
grants to Lender and Trustee, as security for the Debt, a security interest in
the Trust Property to the full extent that the Trust Property may be subject to
the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Trust Property so subject to
the Uniform Commercial Code being called in this paragraph the "COLLATERAL").
This Deed of Trust shall also constitute a "fixture filing" for the purposes of
the Uniform Commercial Code. As such, this Deed of Trust covers all items of the
Collateral that are or are to become fixtures. Information concerning the
security interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the
addresses of the parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur, Lender and Trustee, 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 possession of the
Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender or
Trustee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the
Collateral. Upon request or demand of Lender or Trustee, Borrower shall at its
expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender and Trustee at a
convenient place acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender and Trustee
on demand any and all expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements,
incurred or paid by Lender and Trustee in protecting the interest in the
Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral.
Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender and Trustee
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
constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any
disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to
the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its sole
discretion shall deem proper. In the event of any change in name, identity or
structure of Borrower, Borrower shall notify Lender and Trustee thereof and
promptly after request shall execute (if necessary), file and record such
Uniform Commercial Code forms as are necessary to maintain the priority of
Lender's lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all
expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. If Lender
shall require the filing or recording
-61-
of additional Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements, Borrower
shall, promptly after request, execute (if necessary), file and record such
Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements as Lender shall deem
necessary, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and
recording thereof, it being understood and agreed, however, that no such
additional documents shall increase Borrower's obligations under the Note, this
Deed of Trust and any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with
the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing or other statements
signed only by Lender, as secured party, in connection with the Collateral
covered by this Deed of Trust.
29. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Lender or Trustee has the right to appear in
and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Trust Property
and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower,
which Lender, in its sole discretion, decides should be brought to protect their
interest in the Trust Property. Lender shall, at its option, be subrogated to
the lien of any deed of trust or other security instrument discharged in whole
or in part by the Debt, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute
additional security for the payment of the Debt.
30. WAIVER OF SETOFF AND COUNTERCLAIM. All amounts due under this Deed of
Trust, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff,
counterclaim or any deduction whatsoever. Borrower hereby waives the right to
assert a setoff, counterclaim (other than a mandatory or compulsory
counterclaim) or deduction in any action or proceeding in which Lender or
Trustee is a participant, or arising out of or in any way connected with this
Deed of Trust, the Note, any of the other Loan Documents, or the Debt.
31. CONTEST OF CERTAIN CLAIMS. Notwithstanding the provisions of
paragraphs 5 and 23 hereof, Borrower shall not be in default for failure to pay
or discharge Taxes, Other Charges or mechanic's or materialman's lien asserted
against the Trust Property if, and so long as, (a) Borrower shall have notified
Lender of same within five (5) Business Days of obtaining knowledge thereof; (b)
Borrower shall diligently and in good faith contest the same by appropriate
legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the enforcement or collection
of the same and the sale of the Trust Property or any part thereof, to satisfy
the same; (c) Borrower shall have furnished to Lender a cash deposit (which may
consist in whole or in part of funds contained in an existing reserve previously
established by Borrower in connection with the Loans for the specific purpose of
paying the items being contested), or an indemnity bond satisfactory to Lender
with a surety reasonably satisfactory to Lender, in an amount equal to one
hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the amount of the Taxes, Other Charges or
mechanic's or materialman's lien claim, plus a reasonable additional sum to pay
all costs, interest and penalties that may be imposed or incurred in connection
therewith, to assure payment of the matters under contest and to prevent any
sale or forfeiture of the Trust Property or any part thereof; (d) Borrower shall
promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes,
Other Charges or claim so determined, together with all costs, interest and
penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (e) the failure to pay
the Taxes, Other Charges or mechanic's or materialman's lien claim does not
constitute a default under any other deed of trust, mortgage or security
interest covering or affecting any part of the Trust Property; and (f)
notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall immediately upon request of Lender
pay (and if Borrower shall fail so to do, Lender may, but shall not be required
to, pay or cause to be discharged or bonded
-62-
against) any such Taxes, Other Charges or claim notwithstanding such contest, if
in the opinion of Lender, the Trust Property or any part thereof or interest
therein may be in danger of being sold, forfeited, foreclosed, terminated,
cancelled or lost. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof to
the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of
Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established.
32. 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.
33. MARSHALLING AND OTHER MATTERS. Borrower hereby waives, to the extent
permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension,
reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of
marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Trust Property or any part
thereof or any interest therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any
and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure
of this Deed of Trust on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every
person acquiring any interest in or title to the Trust Property subsequent to
the date of this Deed of Trust and on behalf of all persons to the extent
permitted by applicable law.
34. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to
Lender that, to Borrower's knowledge, except as disclosed in the report, dated
May 23, 2003 prepared by Certified Environments, Inc. (the "PHASE I REPORT") and
delivered to Lender in connection with the Loans: (a) the Trust Property is not
in violation of any local, state, federal or other governmental authority,
statute, ordinance, code, order, decree, law, rule or regulation pertaining to
or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning environmental
regulation, contamination or clean-up including, without limitation, the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended
("CERCLA"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended ("RCRA"), the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, as amended, the
Hazardous Substances Transportation Act, as amended, the Solid Waste Disposal
Act, as amended, the Clean Water Act, as amended, the Clean Air Act, as amended,
the Toxic Substance Control Act, as amended, the Safe Drinking Water Act, as
amended, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended, any state
super-lien and environmental clean-up statutes and all rules and regulations
adopted in respect to the foregoing laws whether presently in force or coming
into being and/or effectiveness hereafter (collectively, "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS");
(b) the Trust Property is not subject to any private or governmental lien or
judicial or administrative notice or action or inquiry, investigation or claim
relating to hazardous and/or toxic, dangerous and/or regulated, substances,
wastes, materials, raw materials which include hazardous constituents,
pollutants or contaminants including without limitation, petroleum, tremolite,
anthlophylie, actinolite or polychlorinated biphenyls and any other substances
or materials which are included under or regulated by Environmental Laws or
which are considered by scientific opinion to be otherwise dangerous in terms of
the health, safety and welfare of humans (collectively, "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES");
(c) no Hazardous Substances are or have been (including the period prior to
Borrower's acquisition of the Trust Property) discharged, generated, treated,
disposed of or stored on, incorporated in, or removed or
-63-
transported from the Trust Property other than in compliance with all
Environmental Laws; (d) no Hazardous Substances are present in, on or under any
nearby real property which could migrate to or otherwise affect the Trust
Property and which would reasonably be likely to result in a requirement under
applicable Environmental Laws to remediate the Trust Property; and (e) no
underground storage tanks exist on any of the Trust Property. So long as
Borrower owns or is in possession of the Trust Property, Borrower (i) shall keep
or cause the Trust Property to be kept free from Hazardous Substances except
those in compliance with all Environmental Laws or any permits issued with
respect thereto, (ii) shall promptly notify Lender if Borrower shall become
aware of any Hazardous Substances on the Trust Property and/or if Borrower shall
become aware that the Trust Property is in violation of any Environmental Laws
and/or if Borrower shall become aware of any condition on the Trust Property
which shall pose a threat to the health, safety or welfare of humans, and (iii)
shall remove or remediate such Hazardous Substances and/or cure such violations
and/or remove or remediate such threats, as applicable, as required by law (or
as shall be reasonably required by Lender in the case of removal or remediation
which is not required by law, but in response to the opinion of a licensed
hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or other qualified consultant
engaged by Lender ("LENDER'S CONSULTANT") provided that such removal,
remediation or cure is reasonably necessary to eliminate imminent danger to the
health, safety or welfare of humans and would customarily be performed by
prudent owners of properties similar to the Trust Property in similar
circumstances), promptly after Borrower becomes aware of same, at Borrower's
sole expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the
Borrower, Manager and/or tenants on the Trust Property may use and store
ordinary amounts of Hazardous Substances at the Trust Property if such use or
storage is in connection with business supplies used by Borrower, a tenant in
accordance with the terms of its Lease or by Manager pursuant to the Management
Agreement or is in connection with the ordinary cleaning and maintenance of the
Trust Property so long as such use and storage (A) does not violate any
applicable Environmental Laws and (B) is not the subject of any specific
recommendations in the Phase I Report that would prohibit such use or storage.
Nothing herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such expenses from any
other party that may be liable for such removal or cure. The obligations and
liabilities of Borrower under this paragraph 34 shall survive any termination,
satisfaction, or assignment of this Deed of Trust and the exercise by Lender of
any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the
acquisition of the Trust Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of
foreclosure.
35. ASBESTOS. Borrower represents and warrants that to Borrower's
knowledge no asbestos or any substance or material containing asbestos
("ASBESTOS") is located on the Trust Property except as may have been disclosed
in the Phase I Report delivered to Lender in connection with the Loans. Borrower
shall not install in the Trust Property, nor permit to be installed in the Trust
Property, Asbestos and shall remove any Asbestos promptly upon discovery to the
satisfaction of Lender, at Borrower's sole expense. Borrower shall in all
instances comply with, and ensure compliance by all occupants of the Trust
Property with, all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules
and regulations with respect to Asbestos, and shall keep the Trust Property free
and clear of any liens imposed pursuant to such laws, ordinances, rules or
regulations. In the event that Borrower receives any notice or advice from any
governmental agency or any source whatsoever with respect to Asbestos on,
affecting or installed on the Trust Property, Borrower shall promptly notify
Lender. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this paragraph 35
shall survive any termination, satisfaction, or
-64-
assignment of this Deed of Trust and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights
or remedies hereunder, including but not limited to, the acquisition of the
Trust Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.
36. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING. Borrower shall give prompt written notices
to Lender of: (a) any proceeding or inquiry by any party with respect to the
presence of any Hazardous Substance or Asbestos on, under, from or about the
Trust Property, (b) all claims made or threatened by any third party against
Borrower or the Trust Property relating to any loss or injury resulting from any
Hazardous Substance or Asbestos, and (c) Borrower's discovery of any occurrence
or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Trust
Property that could reasonably be expected to cause the Trust Property to be
subject to any investigation or cleanup pursuant to any Environmental Law.
Borrower shall permit Lender to join and participate in, as a party if it so
elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated with respect to the Trust
Property in connection with any actual or alleged violation of Environmental Law
or the presence of Hazardous Substance at the Trust Property, and Borrower shall
pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in
connection therewith. Upon Lender's request, at any time and from time to time
while this Deed of Trust is in effect but not more frequently than once per
calendar year, unless Lender has determined (in the exercise of its good faith
judgment) that reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental
inspection or audit of the Trust Property, Borrower shall provide at Borrower's
sole expense, (i) an inspection or audit of the Trust Property prepared by a
licensed hydrogeologist or licensed environmental engineer approved by Lender
indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on, in or near the
Trust Property, and (ii) an inspection or audit of the Trust Property prepared
by a duly qualified engineering or consulting firm approved by Lender,
indicating the presence or absence of Asbestos on the Trust Property; provided,
however, any such inspection or audit requested by Lender, during the Term, in
excess of one (1) inspection during each five (5) year period commencing upon
the date hereof, shall be performed at Lender's expense unless an Event of
Default exists or Lender has determined (in the exercise of its good faith and
judgment) that reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental
inspection or audit. If Borrower fails to provide such inspection or audit
within sixty (60) days after such request Lender may order same, and Borrower
hereby grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Trust
Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit upon reasonable
prior notice to Borrower and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere
with tenants or occupants thereof. The cost of such inspection or audit obtained
by Lender upon Borrower's failure to do so shall bear interest from the date
such costs are incurred by Lender until paid at the Default Rate and shall be
due and payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after demand, and if
not so paid, may be added to the Debt. In the event that any environmental site
assessment report prepared in connection with such inspection or audit
recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented for Asbestos
or any Hazardous Substance, Borrower shall cause such operations and maintenance
plan to be prepared and implemented at Borrower's expense upon request of
Lender. In the event that any investigation, site monitoring, containment
cleanup, removal, restoration, or other work of any kind is reasonably necessary
under an applicable Environmental Law (the "REMEDIAL WORK"), Borrower shall
promptly commence and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all such
Remedial Work, provided that in any event Borrower shall complete such Remedial
Work within the time required by applicable Environmental Law. All Remedial Work
shall be performed by contractors approved in advance by Lender, and under the
supervision of a consulting engineer
-65-
approved by Lender. All costs and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid
by Borrower including, without limitation, Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such
Remedial Work. In the event Borrower shall fail to timely commence, or cause to
be commenced, or fail to diligently prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work,
Lender may, but shall not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be
performed, and all costs and expenses thereof, or incurred in connection
therewith, shall bear interest from the date such costs are incurred by Lender

nominees and their respective Affiliates or the purchaser of the Trust Property
by foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or deed in lieu thereof. Any amounts payable
to Lender or Trustee by reason of the application of this paragraph shall be
secured by this Deed of Trust and shall become immediately due and payable and

hereunder, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of the Trust Property
by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

Trust Property in such portions, order and parcels as Lender may determine with
or without having first taken possession of same, to the highest bidder for cash
at one or more public auctions in accordance with the terms and provisions of
the law of the State in which the Trust Property is located. Such sale shall be
made at the area within the courthouse of the county in which the Trust Property
(or any portion thereof to be sold) is situated (whether the parts or parcels
thereof, if any, in different counties are contiguous or not, and without the
necessity of having any personal property hereby secured present at such sale)
which is designated by the applicable court of such County as the area in which
public sales are to take place, or, if no such area is designated, at the area
at the courthouse designated in the notice of sale as the area in which the sale
will take place, on such day and at such times as permitted under applicable law
of the State where the Trust Property is located, after advertising the time,
place and terms of sale and that portion of the Trust Property in accordance
with such law, and after having served written or printed notice of the proposed
sale by certified mail on each Borrower obligated to pay the Note and other
secured indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust according to the records of
Lender in accordance with applicable law. The affidavit of any person having
knowledge of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be
prima facie evidence of the fact of service.
At any such public sale, Trustee may execute and deliver in the name of
Borrower to the purchaser a conveyance of the Trust Property or any part of the
Trust Property in fee simple. In the event of any sale under this Deed of Trust
by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order
in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Trust Property may be sold in its
entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Lender in its
sole discretion may elect, and if Lender so elects, Trustee may sell the
personal property covered by this Deed of Trust at one or more separate sales in
any manner permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the
Trust Property is located, and one or more exercises of the powers herein
granted shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers, until all the Trust
Property is sold or the Note and other secured indebtedness is paid in full. If
the Note and other secured indebtedness is now or hereafter further secured by
any chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts or guaranty, assignments of lease, or
other security instruments, Lender at its option may exhaust the remedies
granted under any of said security instruments either concurrently or
independently, and in such order as Lender may determine.
-73-
(b) Upon any foreclosure sale or sales of all or any portion of the Trust
Property under the power herein granted, Lender may bid for and purchase the
Trust Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Debt as a
credit to the purchase price.
(c) In the event of a foreclosure or a sale of all or any portion of the
Trust Property under the power herein granted, the proceeds of said sale shall
be applied, in whatever order Lender in its sole discretion may decide, to the
expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses), to fees and expenses of
Trustee (including, without limitation, Trustee's attorneys' fees and expenses),
to insurance premiums, liens, assessments, taxes and charges (including, without
limitation, utility charges advanced by Lender), to payment of the outstanding
principal balance of the Debt, and to the accrued interest on all of the
foregoing; and the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Borrower, or to the
person or entity lawfully entitled thereto.
57. RECOURSE PROVISIONS. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall
not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower or its constituent members,
partners, shareholders, directors, employees or agents or the direct or indirect
constituent members, partners, shareholders, directors, employees or agents
thereof (collectively, the "BORROWER PARTIES") or any other Person, to perform
and observe the obligations contained in this Deed of Trust, the Note or any of
the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment
shall be sought against any of the Borrower Parties or any other Person, except
that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance
or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and
realize upon the Trust Property, the Rents or any other collateral given to
Lender pursuant to this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents; provided,
however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be enforceable against the Borrower Parties only to
the extent of their interest in the Trust Property, the Rents and in any other
collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting this Deed of Trust, the
Note and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or
demand any deficiency judgment against any of the Borrower Parties or any other
Person in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or in connection
with this Deed of Trust, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver,
release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by this Deed of
Trust, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of
Lender to name any of the Borrower Parties, as a party defendant in any action
or suit for foreclosure and sale under this Deed of Trust; (iii) affect the
validity or enforceability of any guaranty made in connection with the Loans or
any rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to
obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the
Assignment of Leases and Rents executed in connection herewith; or (vi)
constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and
obligation of Borrower (but not against any members of Borrower or their direct
or indirect constituent members or partners or any other Person), by money
judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense,
liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys'
fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the
following:
(a) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any Guarantor in
connection with the Loans;
-74-
(b) intentional physical waste (including, but not limited to, waste due
to gross negligence) by Borrower or any affiliate thereof; provided, however,
such physical waste shall exclude wear and tear to the Trust Property that
occurs in the ordinary course of business of the Trust Property by Borrower or
any affiliate thereof;
(c) the material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
indemnification provision in that certain Environmental and Hazardous Substance
Indemnification Agreement of even date herewith given by Borrower to Lender or
in this Deed of Trust concerning Environmental Laws, Hazardous Substances and
Asbestos;
(d) the removal or disposal by Borrower or any affiliate thereof of any
portion of the Trust Property after an Event of Default, unless such portion of
the Trust Property is replaced by an item of equal or greater value as
determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion;
(e) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower or any affiliate thereof
of (i) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction
to the Trust Property, (ii) any awards or other amounts received in connection
with the condemnation of all or a portion of the Trust Property, (iii) any Rents
following an Event of Default or (iv) any Rents paid more than one month in
advance;
(f) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or taxes or other
charges that can create liens superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust on any
portion of the Trust Property unless such taxes or other charges are being
contested in accordance herewith; and
(g) any security deposits collected by Borrower or any affiliate thereof
with respect to the Trust Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a
foreclosure of the Trust Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the
extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and
conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default
that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents (i)
Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under
Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by this Deed of
Trust or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt
owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (ii) the Debt shall
become fully recourse to Borrower (but not its members or other direct or
indirect constituent members or partners or any other Person) in the event that:
(A) the first full Monthly Payment Amount (as defined in the Note) under the
Note is not paid when due; (B) other than in connection with a default under
paragraph 12(a)(ii)(G) hereof, Borrower fails to maintain its status as a
Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity in accordance with the provisions of
this Deed of Trust and such failure results in the substantive consolidation of
Borrower with another Person; (C) except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the
Loan Documents, Borrower fails to obtain Lender's prior written consent to any
subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the Trust Property;
(D) except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, Borrower fails
to obtain Lender's prior written consent to any assignment, transfer, or
conveyance of the Trust Property or any interest therein as and to the
-75-
extent required by this Deed of Trust; or (E) (1) a receiver (other than a
receiver appointed by Lender), liquidator or trustee of Borrower or Guarantor
shall be appointed which is not dismissed within ninety (90) days, or (2) if any
petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal
bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by Borrower
or Guarantor, or (3) if Borrower or Guarantor files an answer consenting to, or
otherwise joining in, any involuntary petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or
arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state
law filed against it by any other Person, or is found pursuant to a final,
unappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have solicited or
caused to be solicited creditors to file any involuntary petition for
bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or
any similar federal or state law against Borrower or Guarantor, or (4) if
Borrower or Guarantor are found, pursuant to a final unappealable order of a
court of competent jurisdiction, to have been in collusion with creditors that
initiate a bankruptcy action or proceeding against Borrower or Guarantor.
58. CASH MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. On or before the date hereof Borrower
covenants and agrees to enter into one or more servicing account agreements,

Management Agreement and the escrows and reserves required hereunder shall be

continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums then held pursuant
to the Cash Management Agreement to the payment of the Debt in any order in its
sole discretion. Until expended or applied, amounts held pursuant to the Cash
Management Agreement shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
59. MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST PROPERTY.
(a) Borrower shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, the Management
Agreement in full force and effect and timely perform all of Borrower's
obligations thereunder and enforce performance of all obligations of the Manager
thereunder, and except as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, not permit
the termination or amendment of the Management Agreement unless the prior
written consent of Lender is first obtained, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Borrower shall cause the Manager
to enter into an assignment and subordination of the management agreement in
form satisfactory to Lender (the "SUBORDINATION OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT"). The
Subordination of Management Agreement shall assign and subordinate the Manager's
interests in the Trust Property and all fees and other rights of the Manager
pursuant to the Management Agreement to the rights of Lender. Upon an Event of
Default, Borrower shall, at Lender's request made at any time while such Event
of Default continues, terminate, or cause the termination of, the Management
Agreement. Except with respect to the transactions contemplated by paragraph
11(jj) above, which transactions are hereby pre-approved by Lender, Borrower
shall not enter into any agreement relating to the management of the Trust
Property with any party without the express written consent of Lender (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld to the extent that such manager is an
affiliate of Borrower); provided, however, with respect to a new manager such
-76-
consent may also be conditioned upon Borrower delivering evidence (i) in writing
from the applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such new manager and
management agreement will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification
of the respective ratings then in effect for any Securities issued in connection
with a Securitization, and (ii) satisfactory to Lender (which shall include, at
the request of Lender, a legal non-consolidation opinion acceptable to Lender)
that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of Borrower, its
shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, after the engagement of
the new manager are in accordance with the requirements of Rating Agencies. If
at any time Lender consents to the appointment of a new manager, such new
manager and Borrower shall, as a condition of Lender's consent, execute an
assignment and subordination of such management agreement in the form then used
by Lender.
(b) The Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall terminate the Manager,
without penalty or fee, if at any time during the Loans (a) the Manager shall
become insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (b)
there exists an Event of Default for which Lender has not accepted a cure
thereof or (c) the Maturity Date has occurred and the Loans have not been
repaid. At such time as the Manager may be removed pursuant to and in accordance
with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, a replacement manager and
management agreement acceptable to Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies in
their sole discretion shall assume management of the Property and shall receive
a property management fee not to exceed the then current market rates.
60. SERVICER. At the option of Lender, the Loans may be serviced by a
servicer and/or trustee (collectively, the "SERVICER") selected by Lender and
Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Deed
of Trust and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing or
other agreement (the "SERVICING AGREEMENT") between Lender and Servicer.
Borrower shall be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs and
expenses relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; provided,
however, that such fees and expenses do not exceed one (1) basis point per
annum. Lender agrees that the Servicing Agreement shall require the Servicer to
act within the specified time periods set forth in the Loan Documents,
including, but not limited to, in providing consents or approvals as required
under the terms thereof.
61. COMPONENT NOTES. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender's other
rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at
no cost or expense to Borrower, at any time prior to or in connection with a
Securitization or a sale of the Loans or any portion thereof or any interest
therein, to require Borrower to execute and deliver replacement "component"
notes (including senior and junior notes), which notes may be paid in such order
of priority as may be designated by Lender, or a single note replacing the
existing "component" notes eliminating the "component" note structure, or to
coordinate the maturity dates of the Note, provided that (i) the aggregate
principal amount of such "component" notes or the principal balance of such
single note, as applicable, shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the
Loans (or applicable portion thereof) immediately prior to the creation of such
replacement "component" notes or such single note, as applicable, (ii) the
weighted average interest rate of all such replacement "component" notes or such
single note, as applicable, shall on the date created equal the weighted average
interest rate which was applicable to the Loans immediately prior to the
creation of such replacement "component" notes or such single note, as
applicable, (iii) the
-77-
debt service payments on all such replacement "component" notes or such single
note, as applicable, shall on the date created equal the debt service payments
which were due under the Loans immediately prior to the creation of such
replacement component notes or such single note, as applicable, (iv) the
maturity date, the amortization schedule and the other terms and provisions of
each of the replacement "component" notes or such single note, as applicable,
shall be identical in substance and substantially similar in form to the note
that such "component" notes or such single note, as applicable, replace and the
other Loan Documents, (v) under all circumstances, Note B (or any "component"
notes issued in substitution therefor) and either the BH Guaranty or the RFM
Guaranty (whichever is then in effect) shall be maintained separate from Note A
and as part of the Loans, and (vi) the original note that is replaced by such
component notes shall be delivered to Borrower. Borrower shall cooperate with
all reasonable requests of Lender in order to establish the "component" notes
and shall execute and deliver such documents in compliance with this paragraph
61 as shall reasonably be required by Lender and any Rating Agency in connection
therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and
satisfactory to any Rating Agency, including, without limitation, the severance
of security documents if requested. In the event Borrower fails to execute and
deliver such documents to Lender within ten (10) Business Days following notice
of such request by Lender, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints
Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name
and stead to make and execute all documents reasonably necessary to effect such
transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue
thereof.
It shall be an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust, the Note and the
other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Section 61 after expiration of ten (10) Business
Days after notice thereof.
62. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Any consent or approval by Lender in any single instance shall not be
deemed or construed to be Lender's consent or approval in any like matter
arising at a subsequent date, and the failure of Lender to promptly exercise any
right, power, remedy, consent or approval provided herein or at law or in equity
shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of the same nor shall Lender be
estopped from exercising such right, power, remedy, consent or approval at a
later date. Any consent or approval requested of and granted by Lender pursuant
hereto shall be narrowly construed to be applicable only to Borrower and the
matter identified in such consent or approval and no third party shall claim any
benefit by reason thereof, and any such consent or approval shall not be deemed
to constitute Lender a venturer or partner with Borrower nor shall privity of
contract be presumed to have been established with any such third party. If
Lender deems it to be in its best interest to retain assistance of persons,
firms or corporations (including, without limitation, attorneys, title insurance
companies, appraisers, engineers and surveyors) with respect to a request for
consent or approval, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all costs reasonably
incurred in connection with the employment of such persons, firms or
corporations.
(b) Borrower covenants and agrees that during the Term, unless Lender
shall have previously consented in writing, (a) Borrower will take no action
that would cause it to become an "employee benefit plan" as defined in 29 C.F.R.
Section 2510.3-101, or "assets of a
-78-
governmental plan" subject to regulation under the state statutes, and (b)
Borrower will not sell, assign or transfer the Trust Property, or any portion
thereof or interest therein, to any transferee that does not execute and deliver
to Lender its written assumption of the obligations of this covenant. Borrower
further covenants and agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lender
harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage and expense (including without
limitation, all attorneys' fees and excise taxes, costs of correcting any
prohibited transaction or obtaining an appropriate exemption) that Lender may
incur as a result of Borrower's breach of this covenant. This covenant and
indemnity shall survive the extinguishment of the lien of this Deed of Trust by
foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; furthermore, the foregoing indemnity
shall supersede any limitations on Borrower's liability under any of the Loan
Documents.
(c) The Loan Documents contain the entire agreement between Borrower and
Lender relating to or connected with the Loans. Any other agreements relating to
or connected with the Loans not expressly set forth in the Loan Documents are
null and void and superseded in their entirety by the provisions of the Loan
Documents.
(d) Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, or to knowingly
permit or suffer to exist any act, omission or circumstance affording any right
of forfeiture. In furtherance thereof, Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender and
agrees to defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any loss, damage or
injury by reason of the breach of the covenants and agreements or the
representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the filing of formal charges or the commencement of
proceedings which are not promptly dismissed against Borrower or all or any part
of the Trust Property under any federal or state law for which forfeiture of the
Trust Property or any part thereof or of any monies paid in performance of
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents is a likely result, shall, at
the election of Lender, constitute an Event of Default hereunder without notice
or opportunity to cure.
(e) Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loans, Borrower is
relying solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loans
without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or
recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender.
Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate
financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be
viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of the Borrower or its
Affiliates. Borrower acknowledges that it is represented by competent counsel
and has consulted counsel before executing the Loan Documents.
(f) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay Lender upon receipt of written
notice from Lender, all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the
preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents; (ii) Borrower's performance of and compliance with
Borrower's respective agreements and covenants contained in this Deed of Trust
and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after
the date hereof; (iii) Lender's performance and compliance with all agreements
and conditions contained in this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents on
its part to be performed or complied with after the date hereof; (iv) the
negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any consents, amendments,
waivers or other modifications to this Deed of Trust and the other
-79-
Loan Documents; and (v) the filing and recording fees and expenses,
title insurance fees and expenses, and other similar expenses incurred in
creating and perfecting the lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Deed of
Trust and the other Loan Documents.
PART II
STATE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
63. PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION. In the event of any inconsistencies
between the terms and provisions of this Part II Deed of Trust and Part I of
this Deed of Trust, the terms and provisions of this Part II shall govern and
control.
64. ADDITIONAL REMEDIES PROVISIONS. Lender shall have the following
remedies under this Deed of Trust, in addition to any other remedies stated in
this Deed of Trust (all of which are cumulative and nonexclusive):
(a) Judicial Action. Bring an action in any court of competent
jurisdiction to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to obtain specific performance
of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in the other Loan Documents.
(b) Foreclosure By Power of Sale.
(i) Should Lender elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale
herein contained, Lender shall deliver to Trustee a written declaration of
default and demand for sale, and shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of
Trust and the Note and such receipts and evidence of expenditures made and
secured hereby as Trustee may require.
(ii) Upon receipt of notice from Lender, Trustee shall cause to be
recorded, published and delivered to Borrower such notice of default and
election to sell as is then required by law. Trustee shall, without demand on
Borrower, after lapse of such time as may then be required by law and after
recordation of such notice of default and after notice of sale having been
given as required by law, sell the Trust Property at the time and place of
sale fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole, or in separate
lots or parcels or items and in such order as Lender may direct Trustee so to
do, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the
United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to such
purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or deeds
conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express
or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matter or fact shall be prima
facie evidence of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including without
limitation Borrower, Trustee or Lender, may purchase at such sale, and
Borrower hereby covenants to warrant and defend the title of such purchaser
or purchasers.
(iii) Subject to applicable law, Trustee may postpone the sale of all or
any portion of the Property by public announcement at the time and place of
sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public
announcement or subsequently noticed sale, and without further notice make
such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its
discretion, give a new notice of sale.
-80-
(c) Unified Sale of Real Property, Fixtures and Personal Property.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Deed of Trust, Lender may
elect to proceed against any or all of the real property, personal
property and fixtures constituting the Trust Property in any manner
permitted under UCC Section 9501(4)(a) or any successor statute thereof;
and if the Lender elects to proceed in the manner permitted under UCC
Section 9501(4)(a)(ii) or any successor statute thereof, Lender may
further elect to proceed by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure with
respect to all or any of the real property, personal property and fixtures
covered hereby, as designated by Lender, and Lender or the Trustee (as
applicable) are hereby authorized and empowered to conduct any such sale
of any real property, personal property and fixtures in accordance with
the procedures applicable to real property. Where the Trust Property
consists of real property and personal property, any reinstatement of the
Debt secured hereby, following an Event of Default and an election by the
Lender to accelerate the maturity of said obligation, which is made by
Borrower or any other person or entity permitted to exercise the right of
reinstatement under Section 2924c of the California Civil Code or any
successor statute, shall not invalidate, rescind or otherwise affect any
sale, disposition or other proceeding held or conducted with respect to
any personal property or fixtures prior to such reinstatement.
(d) Receiver. Lender shall be entitled, as a matter of absolute
right and without regard to the value of any security for the Debt or the
solvency of any person liable therefor, to the appointment of a receiver
for the Trust Property upon ex parte application to any court of competent
jurisdiction. Borrower waives any right to any hearing or notice of
hearing prior to the appointment of a receiver. Such receiver and his
agents shall be empowered (i) to take possession of the Trust Property and
any businesses conducted by Borrower or any other person thereon and any
business assets used in connection therewith and, if the receiver deems it
appropriate, to operate the same, (ii) to exclude Borrower and Borrower's
agents, servants, and employees from the Trust Property, (iii) to collect
the rents, issues, profits, and income therefrom, (iv) to complete any
construction which may be in progress, (v) to do such maintenance and make
such repairs and alterations as the receiver deems necessary, (vi) to use
all stores of materials, supplies, and maintenance equipment on the Trust
Property and replace such items at the expense of the receivership estate,
(vii) to pay all taxes and assessments against the Trust Property, all
premiums for insurance thereon, all utility and other operating expenses,
and all sums due under any prior or subsequent encumbrance, and (viii)
generally to do anything which Borrower could legally do if Borrower were
in possession of the Trust Property. All expenses incurred by the receiver
or his agents shall constitute a part of the Debt. Any revenues collected
by the receiver shall be applied first to the expenses of the
receivership, including attorneys' fees incurred by the receiver and by
Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date
incurred until repaid, and the balance shall be applied toward the Debt or
in such other manner as the court may direct. Unless sooner terminated
with the express consent of Lender or by court order, any such
receivership will continue until the Debt has been discharged in full, or
until title to the Trust Property has passed after foreclosure sale and
all applicable periods of redemption have expired. Lender's rights
hereunder include its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 564, as such section may be amended from time to time.
(e) UCC. Exercise any or all rights and remedies granted to a
secured party upon default under the UCC, in such order and in such manner
as Lender, in its sole discretion but subject to applicable law, may
determine, including, without limiting the generality of the
-81-
foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the personal property or any part
thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the
care, protection and preservation of the personal property, and (ii) the right
to require Borrower at its expense to assemble 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
personal property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at
least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially
reasonable notice to Borrower.
(f) Action for Breach of Contract. In accordance with California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 736, as such section may be amended from time to time,
Lender may bring an action for breach of contract against Borrower for breach of
any "environmental provision" (as such term is defined in such section) made by
Borrower herein or in any other Loan Document, for the recovery of damages
and/or for the enforcement of the environmental provision.
(g) Waiver of Security. In accordance with California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 726.5, as such Section may be amended from time to time,
Lender may waive the security of this Deed of Trust as to any parcel of the
Trust Property that is "environmentally impaired" or is an "affected parcel" (as
such terms are defined in such Section), and as to any personal property
attached to such parcel, and thereafter may exercise against Borrower, to the
extent permitted by such Section 726.5 and subject to paragraph 57 hereof, the
rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of Lender's
claim against Borrower to judgment, and any other rights and remedies permitted
by law. In the event the Lender elects, in accordance with California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 726.5, to waive all or part of the security of this Deed
of Trust and proceed against Borrower on an unsecured basis, the valuation of
the real property, the determination of the environmentally impaired status of
such security and any cause of action for a money judgment shall, at the request
of Lender, be referred to a referee in accordance with California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 638 et seq. Such referee shall be an independent and
unaffiliated M.A.I. appraiser selected by Lender and approved by Borrower, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The decision of such
referee shall be binding upon both Borrower and Lender, and judgment upon the
award rendered by such referee shall be entered in the court in which such
proceeding was commenced in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure
Sections 644 and 645. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with any proceeding under California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 726.5, as such section may be amended from time to time.
(h) Other. Exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under
the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity.
(i) Separate Sales. The Trust Property may be sold in one or more parcels
and in such manner and order as Lender, in its sole discretion, may direct
Trustee so to do. A sale of less than the whole of the Trust Property or any
defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of sale
provided for herein, and subsequent sales may be made hereunder until all
obligations secured hereby have been satisfied, or the entire Trust Property
sold, without defect or irregularity.
-82-
(j) Credit Bids. At any sale or disposition of any or all of the Trust
Property held or made under the power of sale granted in this Deed of Trust or
in connection with judicial proceedings, or by virtue of a judgment and decree
of foreclosure and sale, if Lender is the purchaser at such sale or disposition
Lender shall have the right to offset its bid at such sale to the extent of the
Debt, including the portion of the Debt attributable to the expenses of sale,
costs of any action and other sums for which Borrower is obligated to pay or
reimburse Lender or Trustee under this Deed of Trust.
65. DEED OF TRUST NOT TO SECURE ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANTS, OBLIGATIONS, AND
INDEMNITIES OR GUARANTY OBLIGATIONS. Notwithstanding anything in this Deed of
Trust to the contrary, this Deed of Trust is not intended to, and by the express
provisions hereof, does not secure (a) any environmental (i) covenant, (ii)
obligation or (iii) indemnity of Borrower made or provided herein, or in the
Environmental and Hazardous Substance Indemnification Agreement executed
simultaneously herewith, or (b) the obligations of any (i) Guarantor of any Debt
or (ii) third party indemnitor under the Environmental and Hazardous Substance
Indemnification Agreement or under any other indemnity.
66. ADDITIONAL WAIVERS.
(a) Borrower has read and hereby approves the Note, this Deed of Trust,
the other Loan Documents and all other agreements and documents relating
thereto. Borrower acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its
choice to review this Deed of Trust, the Note, the other Loan Documents and all
other documents relating thereto and said counsel has explained and Borrower
understands the provisions thereof, or that Borrower has voluntarily declined to
retain such counsel.
(b) Borrower hereby expressly waives diligence, demand, presentment,
protest and notice of every kind and nature whatsoever (unless as otherwise
required under this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents) and waives any
right to require Lender to enforce any remedy against any Guarantor, endorser or
other person whatsoever prior to the exercise of its rights and remedies
hereunder or otherwise. Borrower waives any right to require Lender to: (i)
proceed or exhaust any collateral security given or held by Lender in connection
with the Debt; (ii) give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or
private sale of any real or personal property security for the Debt or other
guaranty of the Debt; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in Lender's power
whatsoever.
(c) Until all Debt shall have been paid in full, Borrower: (i) shall not
have any right of subrogation to any of the rights of Lender against any
Guarantor, maker or endorser; (ii) waives any right to enforce any remedy which
Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Guarantor, maker or
endorser; and (iii) waives any benefit of, and any other right to participate
in, any collateral security for the Debt or any guaranty of the Debt now or
hereafter held by Lender.

SECTION 2. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT.
(a) The Lender has established and will maintain while the Loans are
outstanding a cash collateral account (which account shall be an Eligible
Account or may be a book-entry sub-account of an Eligible Account) at the
Deposit Bank (the "CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT") which shall be entitled "Greenwich
Capital Financial Products, Inc. as Beneficiary of North Tower, LLC Cash
Collateral Account". In connection with a Securitization, the Lender shall have
the right to cause Deposit Bank to entitle the Cash Collateral Account with such
other designation as the Lender may select in its reasonable discretion to
reflect such assignment or transfer. The Lender shall, or shall cause the
Servicer to, cause the Deposit Bank to deposit into the Cash Collateral Account,
all Rents and other amounts transferred to the Deposit Bank from the Clearing
Bank.
(b) The Cash Collateral Account shall be an interest bearing
Eligible Account. The interest rate with respect to funds held in the Cash
Collateral Account shall be the rate for such deposits as is customarily paid by
the Deposit Bank. All interest income or other earnings on funds, if any,
remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be for the benefit of the
Borrower and credited to, and become a part of, the Cash Collateral Account. The
Cash Collateral Account shall be assigned the federal tax identification number

the Deposit Bank, at any time upon request of Lender, with a Form W-8 or W-9 to
evidence Borrower is not subject to any back-up withholding under the United
States Internal Revenue Code. Prior to application in accordance with the terms
hereof, all amounts in the Cash Collateral Account shall remain an asset of
Borrower, subject to the lien and security interest granted Lender hereunder,
and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.
(c) The following sub-accounts (collectively, the "LOAN
SUB-ACCOUNTS") of the Cash Collateral Account shall be maintained on a
ledger-entry basis:
(i) "Xxxxxx Xxxx TI/LC Escrow Sub-account";
(ii) "Deferred Maintenance Escrow Sub-account";
(iii) "Outstanding Tenant Allowance Escrow Sub-account";
(iv) "Minimum Occupancy Escrow Sub-account";
(v) "Tax and Insurance Impound Fund Sub-account";
(vi) "Monthly Debt Service Sub-account";
(vii) "Replacement/Leasing Escrow Sub-account";
(viii) "Operating Expense Sub-account";
-4-
(ix) "Borrower Remainder Sub-account";
(x) "Junior Management Fee Subaccount";
(xi) "Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds Sub-account"; and
(xii) "Extraordinary Receipts Sub-account".
Amounts allocated to the Loan Sub-accounts shall be disbursed in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Deed of Trust.
(d) (i) The Lender shall deliver one or more executed Instruction
Letters to the Clearing Bank. If the Clearing Bank shall request any changes,
modifications or supplements to any Instruction Letter to conform to the
Clearing Bank's customary practice or requirements, as the same may change from
time to time, then if such changes, modifications or supplements are reasonably
acceptable to Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender such
instruments as the Clearing Bank shall reasonably request to effectuate such
modifications or changes. In the event the Borrower fails to execute such
Instruction Letter as provided above within three (3) Business Days after
receipt of written request for such execution, Borrower hereby appoints the
Lender as its attorney-in-fact with full authority to enter into replacement
Instruction Letter(s) and to execute on behalf of the Borrower any new modified
Instruction Letter acceptable to the proposed Clearing Bank. All costs and
expenses incurred by the Lender to negotiate and execute any modified
Instruction Letter shall be paid by the Borrower.
(ii) If the Clearing Bank fails to perform its obligations as set
forth in the Instruction Letter, then, upon the request of Lender, within ten
(10) Business Days, the Borrower will establish a new Eligible Account (which
shall become the Clearing Account) at a bank selected by the Borrower and
reasonably acceptable to Lender and shall cause all funds in the existing
Clearing Account to be transferred to the new Clearing Account and any future
Rents from the Property to be deposited in such new Clearing Account.
(iii) In the event that Borrower requests that a new Clearing
Account be established (which new Clearing Account shall be an Eligible
Account), and Lender consents to such change, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, Borrower shall, prior to the establishment of
such account, execute a replacement Instruction Letter to cover the new account,
which replacement Instruction Letter shall be in the form of the Instruction
Letter annexed hereto as Exhibit A with such changes thereto as may be requested
by such new Clearing Bank in order to conform such Instruction Letter with such
new bank's customary practice. The existing Clearing Account shall remain in
effect until Borrower has executed a replacement Instruction Letter for the new
Clearing Account and the new Clearing Bank has acknowledged receipt of such
replacement Instruction Letter and has agreed to comply with the instructions
contained therein by executing an Acknowledgment in the form of Schedule I
attached to Exhibit A attached hereto, and Borrower may rescind its request for
a new Clearing Account in the event Borrower does not approve of any changes to
the form of the Instruction Letter annexed hereto as Exhibit A requested by such
new Clearing Bank.
(e) The Lender or the Servicer shall, at the direction of Borrower,
direct the Deposit Bank to invest amounts allocated to the Cash Collateral
Account in Permitted
-5-
Investments selected by the Borrower. All earnings on such Permitted Investments
on funds allocated to the Cash Collateral Account shall be (a) added to and
become part of the Cash Collateral Account, (b) taxed as income of the Borrower,
(c) for the benefit of the Borrower, subject to Lender's rights pursuant to this
Agreement, and (d) remitted to Borrower jointly once per calendar quarter,
provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent
not already disbursed or applied in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower
shall have liability for any loss in investments of funds that are invested in
Permitted Investments and no such loss or liability shall affect Borrower's
obligations to make all payments and deposits required to be made by Borrower
under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have no right to select
Permitted Investments.
(f) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the entire
amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account (or as much thereof as the
Lender may reasonably arrange to invest) may be invested in Permitted
Investments selected by the Borrower, and, in such event, that the Cash
Collateral Account shall be a so-called "zero balance" account (unless it is a
Trust Account). All funds in the Cash Collateral Account that are invested in a
Permitted Investment are deemed to be held in the Cash Collateral Account for
all purposes of the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents.
(g) In order to further secure the performance by the Borrower of
the Obligations and as a material inducement for the Lender to make the Loans in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby (i)
requests that the Cash Collateral Account be established on its behalf at the
Deposit Bank in the name set forth above and (ii) acknowledges that (A) the Cash
Collateral Account will be subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion
of the Lender (which may be exercised through the Servicer), subject to the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement and the Deed of Trust, (B) the
Lender shall have the sole right to make withdrawals or transfers of funds from
the Cash Collateral Account and (C) neither the Borrower nor any other Person
claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right or authority,
whether express or implied, to make use of, or withdraw any funds, investments
or other properties from, the Cash Collateral Account, or to give any
instructions with respect to the Cash Collateral Account.
(h) Deposit Bank will send a monthly report to Borrower (in a manner
consistent with Deposit Bank's standard practice) by regular U.S. mail at the
Borrower's address specified above, which monthly report shall specify the
balance of, and credits and charges to, the Cash Collateral Account and each
Sub-account thereof for each calendar day of the previous month. Deposit Bank
will send to the Lender (in a manner consistent with Deposit Bank's standard
practices), by regular U.S. mail at the Lender's address specified, copies of
all correspondence, notices, account statements and other information (but not
canceled checks) which Deposit Bank is obligated to send to Borrower. Deposit
Bank also agrees to provide to each of Borrower and the Lender (as a service
under this Agreement) copies of account statements and other account
information, including account balances, by telephone and by computer
communication, to the extent practicable and as shall have been requested by
Borrower or by Lender. Borrower shall be deemed at all times to have consented
to Deposit Bank's release
-6-
of such account information to Lender. Deposit Bank's liability for failure to
comply with this Section shall not exceed the cost of providing such
information.
SECTION 3. ALLOCATION AND DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS IN THE CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT.
(a) With respect to each Collection Period, the Lender or the
Servicer shall allocate, and shall cause the Deposit Bank to allocate, from time

the expiration of the thirty (30) day period set forth above directing Deposit

SECTION 6. MATTERS CONCERNING THE BORROWER.
(a) Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Lender
that:
(i) Intentionally deleted.
(ii) The Borrower or the Manager shall, within three (3)
Business Days of the date hereof or within three (3) Business Days of the date
such accounts are opened, whichever is later, instruct all Persons that
presently or hereafter maintain open accounts with Borrower or the Manager, or
with whom the Manager or the Borrower presently or hereafter does business on an
"accounts receivable" basis with respect to the Property, to deliver all
payments due under such accounts to the Clearing Bank at a lock box address at
the Clearing Bank (the "LOCK BOX ADDRESS") in the form of checks or equivalent
instruments for the payment of money. Neither the Borrower nor the Manager shall
direct any such Person to make payments due under such accounts in any other
manner.
(iii) Pursuant to an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit
B hereto (a "LESSEE PAYMENT DIRECTION LETTER"), the Borrower or the Manager
shall, within three (3) Business Days of the date hereof, notify and advise, or
will, for Leases executed after the date hereof, promptly notify and advise,
each tenant of the Property (collectively, the "TENANTS") under each lease with
respect to the Property (whether such lease is presently effective or executed
after the date hereof), to send directly to the Lockbox Address promptly when
due all payments, whether in the form of checks, cash, drafts, money orders or
any other type of payment whatsoever of rent or any other item payable to the
Borrower as landlord under such Leases. The foregoing requirements need not be
satisfied with respect to any Lease executed after the date hereof to the extent
the terms and conditions of the Lessee Payment Direction Letter are incorporated
in the applicable Lease.
(iv) If notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(a),
Borrower or Manager (or any affiliate thereof) receives any Rents then (x)
Borrower or Manager (or such affiliate) shall be deemed to hold such Rents in

-9-
shall deposit with the Clearing Bank within one (1) Business Day of receipt all
such Rents received by Borrower or Manager (or such affiliate).
(b) Upon request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender such

with the provisions of this Section 6(a). Without the prior written consent of
the Lender, neither the Borrower nor the Manager shall (i) terminate, amend,
revoke or modify any Lessee Payment Direction Letter in any manner or (ii)
direct or cause any Tenant to pay any amount in any manner other than as
provided specifically in the Lessee Payment Direction Letter.
(c) The Borrower hereby pledges, transfers and assigns to the
Lender, and grants to the Lender, as additional security for the payment and
performance of the Obligations, a continuing perfected first priority security
interest in and to, and a first lien upon, (i) the Cash Collateral Account, the
Clearing Account, the Operating Account and all of the Borrower's right, title
and interest in and to all cash, property or rights transferred to or deposited
therein from time to time, (ii) all earnings, investments and securities held in
the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with this Agreement and (iii) any and
all proceeds of the foregoing. This Agreement and the pledge, assignment and
grant of security interest made hereby shall secure payment of all amounts
payable by the Borrower to the Lender under the Note and the other Obligations.
The Borrower acknowledges that the Servicer, Clearing Bank and Deposit Bank are
acting as the agent of, and at the direction of, the Lender in connection with
the subject matter of this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees to execute,
acknowledge, deliver, file or do at its sole cost and expense, all other acts,
assignments, notices, agreements or other instruments as the Lender may
reasonably require in order to effectuate, assure, convey, secure, assign,
transfer and convey unto the Lender any of the rights granted by this Agreement
and to more fully perfect and protect any lien or security interest granted
hereby.
(d) In its sole discretion, the Borrower may, from time to time
deposit amounts into the Cash Collateral Account in respect of any Loan
Sub-account and/or the Operating Account from sources of the Borrower other than
those received by the Clearing Bank with respect to the then-current Collection
Period; provided, that if the Borrower deposits such amounts, the amounts
deposited shall be subject to all of the terms hereof as if not separately
deposited by the Borrower, and may not be withdrawn except as otherwise provided
for in this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall impair or otherwise limit
Borrower's obligations to timely make the payments (including, without
limitation, interest and principal) required by the Note, the Deed of Trust and
the other Loan Documents, it being understood that such payments shall be so
timely made in accordance with the Loan Documents regardless of the amounts on
deposit in the Clearing Account or Cash Collateral Account.
(e) The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that amounts allocated
to the Operating Expense Sub-account with respect to the payment of operating
expenses or capital expenditures shall be used only for payment of checks made
by the Borrower for the payment of operating expenses or capital expenditures
incurred in the ownership and operation of the Property and reasonably approved
by the Lender or permitted by the Loan Documents. In any month, Borrower shall
be entitled to receive and use for Cash Expenses an amount in excess of the
budgeted amount ("BUDGET VARIANCES") for such month set forth in the Approved
Annual Budget by requesting the same in writing not less than three (3) Business
Days prior to the first
-10-
day of the Collection Period during which such Budget Variances are to be
disbursed so long as the aggregate amount of all such Budget Variances so
requested by Borrower in any month does not exceed an amount that, together with
any Budget Variances previously disbursed to Borrower in such calendar year, is
greater than five percent (5%) of the total budgeted expenditures (excluding any
contingency line item) for such calendar year as set forth in the then current
Approved Annual Budget.
(f) On or before the last day of each calendar quarter, Borrower
shall prepare and deliver to Lender a financial statement (the "ACTUAL
EXPENDITURE STATEMENT") in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in all
material respects setting forth all amounts expended for Operating Expenses
during the immediately preceding calendar quarter, including showing variances
from budget and setting forth a short explanation of any variance in excess of
ten percent (10%) of the budget line item in question and identifying any
payment made to an affiliate and the reasons therefor. Each Actual Expenditure
Statement shall be certified by an officer of Borrower or the REIT as being
true, correct and complete in all material respects and include a certification
that all amounts transferred to the Operating Account pursuant to this Agreement
were expended for Operating Expenses substantially in accordance with this
Agreement or shall be credited against or returned to the Cash Collateral
Account as provided below. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender such
further documentation (including, without limitation, invoices, canceled checks
or copies of contracts) and information as Lender may reasonably request
regarding any payments described in the Actual Expenditure Statement. On each
Reconciliation Date during the term of the Loans, if the Actual Expenditure
Statements for the immediately preceding calendar quarter indicate that the
Operating Expenses actually incurred and paid during such calendar quarter, plus
the amount necessary to maintain the Operating Account Balance Floor (as
hereinafter defined) in the Operating Account as of the last day of such
calendar quarter, were less than the amount disbursed to the Operating Account
during such calendar quarter (the positive difference in the amount disbursed to
the Operating Account and the amount actually spent on Operating Expenses is
hereafter referred to as the "EXPENSE SURPLUS"), then the funds allocated for
Operating Expenses to be disbursed to the Operating Expense Sub-account on the
next occurring Payment Date in accordance with the Approved Annual Budget (as
defined in the Note) (the "ALLOCATED DISBURSEMENT AMOUNT") shall be reduced by
an amount equal to the Expense Surplus; provided, further, that if the Allocated
Disbursement Amount is less than the Expense Surplus, then Borrower, prior to
the next occurring Payment Date, shall deposit into the Cash Collateral Account
the amount by which the Expense Surplus exceeds the Allocated Disbursement
Amount (the "ALLOCATION SURPLUS"). If Borrower shall fail to, within the
described required time periods, (i) so deposit any such Allocation Surplus into
the Cash Collateral Account, or (ii) provide the Actual Expenditure Statements
required by the terms hereof or (iii) after written request of Lender, provide
evidence of expenditures or (iv) provide to Lender the items described in
paragraph 18(b) of the Deed of Trust in accordance with the terms of such
paragraph 18(b) and (in the case of any of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)) such
failure continues for ten (10) or more days after notice of such failure, then
in addition to any other remedies which Lender may have with respect thereto,
Lender may elect not to fund the Operating Expense Sub-account from monies in
the Cash Collateral Account or Lender may continue to hold the funds in the
Operating Expense Sub-account until such failure is cured.

SECTION 7. CERTAIN MATTERS REGARDING THE LENDER.
(a) The parties agree that the Deposit Bank shall pay over to the
Lender all amounts deposited in any account maintained hereunder on demand,
provided, that in making such demand, the Lender gives notice to Borrower of
such demand, in writing, signed by the Lender or an authorized agent thereof,
and that an Event of Default under the Deed of Trust has occurred and is
continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be deemed to
have waived any rights the Borrower may have against the Lender if it is
determined that the Lender acted improperly.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral all rights and
remedies available to Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or
otherwise available at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing or the provisions of paragraph (a) above, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that it will have no further right to request or otherwise require Lender to
disburse funds from the Clearing Account or the Cash Collateral Account in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it being agreed that Lender may, at
its option, (i) direct the Deposit Bank to continue to hold the funds in the
Cash Collateral Account and/or (ii) continue from time to time to apply all or
any portion of the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account to any payment(s)
which such funds could have been applied to prior to such Event of Default (or
to pay Cash Expenses, Net Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Note) and
Extraordinary Expenses directly), to the extent and in such order and manner as
Lender in its sole discretion may determine, and/or (iii) direct that the
Deposit Bank or Clearing Bank from time to time disburse all or any portion of
the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account or other Collateral then or
thereafter held by the Deposit Bank or Clearing Bank, as applicable, to Lender,
in which event Lender may apply the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account or
other Collateral to the Obligations in any order and in such manner as Lender
may determine in its sole discretion.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Lender may, at any time or from time to time, subject to the
requirements of applicable law, collect, appropriate, redeem, realize upon or
otherwise enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral, and without the
need to institute any legal action, make demand, exhaust any other remedies or
otherwise proceed to enforce its rights, provided that Lender gives notice to
Borrower, in writing, that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(d) No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right under this Agreement or the Deed of Trust shall operate as
a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The remedies provided in
this Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.
SECTION 8. MATTERS CONCERNING THE DEPOSIT BANK.
(a) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Deposit Bank to comply,
and Deposit Bank agrees to comply, with instructions originated by the Lender in
accordance with
-12-
this Agreement directing the disposition of funds from time to time in the Cash
Collateral Account or as to any other matters relating to the Cash Collateral
Account without further consent by Borrower, but subject to the terms of this
Agreement.
(b) All defenses of Deposit Bank under the Agreement and Articles 3,
4, and 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code (as adopted in the State where the
respective Account is located) as to the payment and collection of items shall
also be applicable to and enforceable against the Lender. Each of Borrower and
the Lender hereby authorizes and instructs Deposit Bank to supply Borrower's or
the Lender's endorsement, as appropriate, to any items that Deposit Bank
receives and deposits for collection to the Cash Collateral Account.
(c) Deposit Bank will not exercise any security interest (except for
the security interest provided in Section 4-210 of the Uniform Commercial Code
as adopted in the State where the Cash Collateral Account is located), lien,
right of setoff, deduction, recoupment or banker's lien or any other interest in
or against the Cash Collateral Account, and Deposit Bank hereby subordinates any
such security interest, lien or right which it may have against the Cash
Collateral Account, except that Deposit Bank may set off and charge against the
Cash Collateral Account for (i) the face amount of each Returned Item
(hereinafter defined), (ii) all usual and customary service charges, (iii)
account maintenance fees, (iv) transfer fees, (v) out-of-pocket fees and
expenses incurred by Deposit Bank in connection with the enforcement of this
Agreement, (vi) adjustments or corrections of posting or encoding errors, and
(vii) any other items normally chargeable to an account, whether incurred before
or after the date of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, "RETURN ITEM"
shall mean (i) any items deposited into the Cash Collateral Account either
before or after the date of this Agreement and returned unpaid or otherwise
uncollected, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without
regard to the timeliness of such return or the occurrence or timeliness of any
drawee's notice of nonpayment; (ii) any items subject to a claim against Deposit
Bank for breach of transfer or presentment warranty under the Uniform Commercial
Code (as adopted in the State where the Cash Collateral Account is located),
(iii) any ACH entry credited to the Cash Collateral Account and returned unpaid
or subject to an adjustment entry under applicable clearing house rules, whether
for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without regard to the
timeliness of such return or adjustment; (iv) any credit to the Cash Collateral
Account from a merchant card transaction against which a contractual demand for
chargeback has been made; and (v) any credit to the Cash Collateral Account made
in error.
(d) Deposit Bank shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any
notice or instruction it receives from the Lender and which Deposit Bank
believes in good faith to be a notice or instruction from the Lender, and
Deposit Bank shall have no obligation to investigate or verify the authenticity
or correctness of any such notice or instruction. Deposit Bank shall have no
liability to Borrower for honoring any instruction Deposit Bank receives from
the Lender regarding the Cash Collateral Account. Deposit Bank shall be fully
discharged from liability with respect to any funds on deposit in the Cash
Collateral Account to the extent that Deposit Bank honors and follows
instructions it receives from the Lender and transfers any of such funds to, or
on the instructions of, the Lender.
(e) In the event a third party shall assert an adverse claim by
legal process against the Cash Collateral Account or any sums on deposit
therein, whether such claim shall
-13-
arise by tax lien, execution of judgment, attachment, garnishment, levy, claim
of a trustee in bankruptcy or debtor-in-possession, or a competing lien creditor
or other judicial or regulatory order or process (each, a "CLAIM"), Deposit Bank
may, in addition to other remedies it may possess under this Agreement or at law
or in equity, (i) suspend disbursements from the Cash Collateral Account
reasonably sufficient to satisfy such Claim, without any liability until Deposit
Bank shall have received an appropriate court order or other assurances
acceptable to Deposit Bank in its sole discretion establishing that funds may
continue to be disbursed according to instructions then applicable to the Cash
Collateral Account, and/or (ii) immediately interplead all such funds in the
Cash Collateral Account into the registry of the appropriate court located in
the State where the Cash Collateral Account is maintained, and Borrower and the
Lender, jointly and severally, shall pay promptly all of Deposit Bank's costs,
expenses and attorneys' reasonable fees incurred in connection with such Claim.
If a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding shall have been commenced by or against
Borrower, Deposit Bank shall be entitled to refuse to permit deposits to, or
withdrawals and/or transfers from, the Cash Collateral Account without any
liability until Deposit Bank shall have received an appropriate court order or
other assurances acceptable to Deposit Bank in its sole discretion establishing

Borrower as to the tenants entitled to receive such refunds and the amounts
thereof), except Lender reserves the right to pay (or have the Servicer pay) any
such tenant directly using monies so deposited in the Extraordinary Receipts
Sub-account, in lieu of transferring such monies to the
-14-
Operating Account for such payment. Lender or Servicer shall apply any excess,
after the aforesaid payment, as if ordinary Rents deposited in the Cash
Collateral Account.
(d) Damages or other payments in excess of $250,000 in settlement of

Lease, either (x) each month, that portion of the amount so deposited that
equals the total amount paid divided by the number of months remaining in the
term of such Lease (at the time of any such cancellation, termination or
rejection) or (y) if Borrower shall satisfy Lender that the event resulting in
such payment did not materially adversely affect the fair market value of the
Property and that the Property would satisfy a Debt Service Coverage Ratio test
at least equal to 1.10:1.0 (provided that such Debt Service Coverage Ratio test
shall exclude any rents from the Lease from which such payments were received
and which payments are the subject of the requested disbursement), the entire
amount so deposited shall, provided no Event of Default is then continuing, be
disbursed on the next Payment Date to the Borrower Remainder Sub-account and
(ii) with respect to any other amount deposited in the Extraordinary Receipts
Sub-account pursuant to this paragraph (d), (x) if insufficient funds exist
during any month to make all payments to be made for such month prior to the
disbursement to the Borrower Remainder Sub-account, the portion of the amount so
deposited as is necessary to eliminate any such deficiency or (y) if Borrower
shall satisfy Lender that the event resulting in such payment did not materially
adversely affect the fair market value of the Property and that the Property
would satisfy a Debt Service Coverage Ratio test at least equal to 1.10:1.0
(provided that such Debt Service Coverage Ratio test shall exclude any rents
from the Lease from which such payments were received and which payments are the
subject of the requested disbursement), the entire amount so deposited shall,
provided no Event of Default is then continuing, be disbursed on the next
Payment Date to the Borrower Remainder Sub-account.
(e) All sums paid with respect to a modification of any Lease or
otherwise paid in connection with Borrower taking any action under any Lease
(e.g., granting a consent) or waiving any provision thereof, but only to the
extent any such payment exceeds $250,000 (if such sums paid do not exceed
$250,000, such payment shall be deposited in the Clearing Account and applied as
ordinary Rents) shall be deposited in the Extraordinary Receipts Sub-account and
shall be applied (by instruction of Lender or Servicer to Deposit Bank) as
provided in any consent of Lender given in connection with any such action, or,
if no such direction is given, shall (i) in the case of any modification which
reduces the rent paid under any Lease or shortens the term of such Lease, either
(x) be applied as Rents available for distribution in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement for the month in question only as to that portion
of the amount so deposited with Lender as Lender, in its reasonable discretion,
shall determine represents reduced rent or lost rent in the applicable month
under any such Lease as a result of any such modification or (y) if Borrower
shall satisfy Lender that the event resulting in
-15-
such payment did not materially adversely affect the fair market value of the
Property and that the Property would satisfy a Debt Service Coverage Ratio test
at least equal to 1.10:1.0 (provided that such Debt Service Coverage Ratio test
shall exclude any rents from the Lease from which such payments were received
and which payments are the subject of the requested disbursement), the entire
amount so deposited shall, provided no Event of Default is then continuing, be
disbursed on the next Payment Date to the Borrower Remainder Sub-account and
(ii) in all other cases, only be applied as Rents available for distribution in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement for the month in question if
and to the extent either subclause (x) or (y) of paragraph (d)(ii) above shall
be applicable.
If the fees and disbursements of tax certiorari counsel described in
paragraph (c) above shall not have been deducted from the real estate tax
refunds by such counsel prior to payment of such refunds to Borrower, then such
fees and disbursements may be paid as part of Cash Expenses, provided such fees
and disbursements are commercially reasonable. References to application of any
amounts received by Borrower by reason of any action taken by Borrower under or
with respect to a Lease, or otherwise, is not intended in any manner to allow
Borrower to take such action in prohibition of any other provision of the Loan
Documents. Except as expressly set forth in any judgment of any court exercising
jurisdiction thereover or in any agreement with the Tenant approved by Lender,
Lender shall in its reasonable judgment determine the amount of any payment
described in paragraph (d) that falls within clause (i)(x) or (ii)(x) thereof as
opposed to clause (i)(y) or (ii)(y) thereof.
SECTION 10. OPERATING ACCOUNT. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit in the
Operating Account an amount equal to $500,000 (the "OPERATING ACCOUNT BALANCE
FLOOR"), which amount shall be funded with the proceeds of the Loans and which
may be used by Borrower from time to time to pay Operating Expenses at the
Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. If, as a result of payment of Operating Expenses at the Property in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the
amount on deposit in the Operating Account shall at any time be less than the
Operating Account Balance Floor, then the amount to be disbursed to the
Operating Account pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3(b)(vi) hereof
shall be increased by an amount necessary to achieve a balance in the Operating
Account of no less than the Operating Account Balance Floor.

enforceable by the Borrower, the Lender and the Manager and their respective
successors and assigns.

obligations under this Agreement without limitation. Any assignee or transferee

transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and is also the
assignee or transferee of the Note and the other Loan Documents.
(c) The Borrower shall have the right to assign and transfer its
rights and obligations hereunder only with the prior written consent of the
Lender.

by the Lender or its agent(s), including without limitation, any Servicer or
trustee in a Securitization, which includes the Loans.

shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action
with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other
matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to
have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to
preserve rights against any parties or any other right pertaining to any
Collateral. Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower to act on any written
instruction believed by Lender in good faith to have been given or sent by

misconduct. Deposit Bank shall have no liability to any party for failure of, or
delay in, its performance under this Agreement as a result of any act of God,

Collateral Account, except for those losses, damages, or expenses that a court
having jurisdiction shall have determined in a final and unappealable judgment
resulted solely from Deposit Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In

damages, even if Deposit Bank shall have been advised of the possibility of such
damages.

June __, 2003
Bank of the West
000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000
Re: Xxxxx Fargo Center (North Tower), Los Angeles, California
Ladies and Gentlemen:
North Tower, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
"BORROWER"), has entered into that certain Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases
and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the "DEED OF TRUST"), dated as
of June __, 2003, given by Borrower for the benefit of Greenwich Capital
Financial Products, Inc. (together with its successors and assigns, the
"LENDER"), pursuant to which the Lender has provided financing to the Borrower
secured by the Deed of Trust encumbering that certain property described in the
caption of this letter (the "PROPERTY"). The Property is currently being managed
by Xxxxxxx Properties, L.P. (the "MANAGER").
Currently, the Borrower maintains the following account (the
"CLEARING ACCOUNT") with you:
Name: North Tower, LLC
Account No.: 729-012062
The Borrower hereby notifies you that the Lender has required that
it implement certain automatic clearing and processing functions and hereby
instructs you, commencing on the date hereof (the "SWEEP COMMENCEMENT DATE"), to
disburse all revenues from the Property ("REVENUES") deposited in the Clearing
Account from time to time in accordance with the following terms and provisions:
Promptly upon receipt of this letter, you shall establish a post
office box address in which the Borrower shall cause all Revenues in the form of
checks, money orders and similar instruments to be deposited. Within one
Business Day (as defined below) of receipt, you, as the "CLEARING BANK," shall
receive and process all Revenues and shall deposit the same into the Clearing
Account. Checks made payable to the Borrower, the Manager or the Clearing
Account shall be deemed suitable for deposit in the Clearing Account. Items
deposited with Clearing Bank that are returned for insufficient or uncollected
funds will be redeposited the first time. Items returned unpaid a second time
shall be processed in accordance with the standard procedures of the Clearing
Bank.
EXH. A-1
The Clearing Account shall be an account of each Borrower but shall
be under the sole dominion and control of the Lender and any servicer (a
"SERVICER") or other designee of the Lender named below or in a subsequent
written notice from the Lender. The Clearing Account shall be assigned the
federal tax identification number of the Borrower, which number is 00-0000000.
You shall hold amounts on deposit in the Clearing Account as agent for the
Lender and shall not commingle such amounts with any other amounts held by you
on behalf of the Lender, the Borrower or any other person or entity. If, in
accordance with standard operating procedures, the Clearing Account may be
established as a trust account for the benefit of the Lender, Borrower directs
that the Clearing Account be maintained as such an account.
The Borrower hereby notifies the Clearing Bank that, in accordance
with the Deed of Trust, the Clearing Account and all amounts held therein from
time to time, and all renewals, replacements and substitutions therefor, have
been irrevocably pledged to the Lender as additional security for the loan
evidenced by the Deed of Trust. In connection with such pledge, the Borrower
hereby waives all right of withdrawal from the Clearing Account.
The Borrower hereby irrevocably instructs and authorizes you,
beginning on the first business day after the Sweep Commencement Date, to
disburse on each business day of each week via the ACH System, if available, or
otherwise by wire transfer, all amounts constituting available funds on deposit
in the Clearing Account to the following account:
Bank of the West
0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxx Xxxx, XX 00000
ABA No.: 12100782
Account No.: 729-012120
Name: [North Tower, LLC Cash Collateral Account]
If transferring such amounts by the ACH System and if required by
Clearing Bank, each such transfer shall be initiated by the Lender or by the
Servicer. If the Clearing Bank provides electronic data transfer services, the
Clearing Bank shall provide the Lender and the Servicer access to the Clearing
Bank's electronic data transfer system for purposes of effecting such transfers.
At any time that funds may not be transferred as described above in this
paragraph, the Clearing Bank shall transfer amounts by wire transfer of
immediately available funds.
The instructions set forth herein are irrevocable and are not
subject to modification in any manner, except that the Lender or the Servicer
may, by written notice to you, amend the instructions contained herein.
In the event that the Clearing Bank fails to acknowledge that its
procedures with respect to the Clearing Account are governed by this letter due
to an objection to the terms hereof or otherwise, the Borrower hereby appoints
the Lender as its attorney-in-fact with full authority to make reasonable
changes to this letter and to execute on behalf of the Borrower any new modified
letter acceptable to the proposed Clearing Bank.
EXH. A-2
In accordance with the Clearing Bank's procedures, the Clearing Bank
shall maintain a record of all deposits and transfers from the Clearing Account
and furnish statements to Borrower and Lender, on a monthly basis, of all such
transactions.
Clearing Bank assumes no duty to discharge any obligation of
Borrower to Lender or others. If Clearing Bank disburses payments later than set
forth herein, its liability for making late disbursements shall not exceed the
amount of interest which would have been paid on such funds if they had been
deposited in the Clearing Account in a timely manner. Clearing Bank shall not be
responsible for any consequential, incidental, indirect or special damage which
would exceed this amount in connection with any such disbursements deemed late,
including, but not limited to, disbursements deemed late resulting from Clearing
Bank's acts, nor shall Clearing Bank be responsible for any claim, loss,
liability, cost, expense or delay caused by equipment breakdown, electrical or
mechanical failure, causes beyond Clearing Bank's reasonable control, the
failure of either party to give Clearing Bank clear and explicit notices and
instructions, or damages caused (in whole or in part) by the party seeking
redress. Borrower and Lender understand and agree that the Clearing Account and
the fees charged by Clearing Bank have been established in contemplation of the
limitation on Clearing Bank's liability set forth in this paragraph.
Except for events of Clearing Bank's negligence or willful
misconduct (and in any such event, subject to the damage limitations set forth
above), Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Clearing Bank, its parent,
affiliates, subsidiaries, and their respective officers, employees and agents
harmless from and against all claims, actions, damages, losses, liabilities and
expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs) arising out of
Clearing Bank's actions or omissions pursuant to this Agreement.
The parties hereto agree that Clearing Bank's sole responsibility to
Lender, Borrower, Manager or any third party for errors made by Clearing Bank in
processing any Rents shall be to process a correcting entry in the next
regularly scheduled processing of the work after receipt of notification from
Lender or its designee, Borrower or any third party.
Clearing Bank shall make every reasonable effort to deliver the
advices, copies and reports required by this Instruction Letter by the mutually
agreed upon time but does not guarantee a specific delivery time. Accordingly,
Clearing Bank's sole responsibility to Lender or any third party with respect to
the time of delivery of the advices, copies and reports required by this
Instruction Letter shall be to deliver such advices, copies and reports as close
to the mutually agreed upon time as may be reasonably practicable.
If Clearing Bank is unable to debit the Clearing Account for any
reason or if the Clearing Account contains insufficient funds from which to
reimburse itself on a particular business day for any of the charges to the
Clearing Account set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto, Clearing Bank is
entitled to recover the insufficiency from incoming funds deposited into the
Clearing Account that business day. If, upon the next business day, the Clearing
Account continues to contain insufficient funds, Borrower agrees to reimburse
Clearing Bank promptly upon receiving Clearing Bank's notice of the same.
EXH. A-3
Matters not covered by this letter shall be determined in accordance
with the customary procedures of the Clearing Bank and in the event of a
conflict between the terms of this letter and the customary procedures of the
Clearing Bank, the terms of this letter shall govern.
