PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if Trustor shall well and truly pay to Beneficiary the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note and this Deed of Trust and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every of the Obligations set forth herein, in the Note and in the other Loan Documents in a timely manner, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease, terminate and be void; provided however, that Trustor’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions hereof with respect to matters relating to any period of time during which this Deed of Trust was in effect shall survive any such payment or release.
All of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in (i) the Note and (ii) all and any of the documents other than the Note and this Deed of Trust now or hereafter executed by Trustor and/or others and by or in favor of Beneficiary, which evidences, secures or guarantees all or any portion of the Debt or otherwise is executed and/or delivered in connection with the Note and this Deed of Trust are hereby made a part of this Deed of Trust to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this Deed of Trust to the contrary, the obligations of the Trustor under that certain Environmental and Hazardous Substance Indemnification Agreement of even date herewith executed by Trustor in favor of Beneficiary (the “Environmental Indemnity”) shall not be deemed or construed to be secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust or otherwise restricted or affected by the foreclosure of the lien hereof or any other exercise by Beneficiary of its remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such Environmental Indemnity being intended by the signatories thereto to be its (or their) unsecured obligation.

2. Insurance. Trustor, at its sole cost and expense, for the mutual benefit of Trustor and Beneficiary, shall obtain and maintain during the entire term of this Deed of Trust (the “Term”) the following policies of insurance:
(a) All Risk or Special Causes of Loss Property Form including Business Interruption.
(i) Comprehensive all risk insurance (including, without limitation, coverage against riot and civil commotion, vandalism, malicious mischief, water, mold (based on a covered peril), fire, burglary, theft and terrorism) on the Improvements and all other insurable portions of the Trust Property and in each case (A) insuring against any peril now or hereafter included within the classification “Cause of Loss — Special Form” (also known as “All Risk of Physical Loss”), (B) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” (C) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements, Equipment and all other insurable portions of the Trust Property waiving all co-insurance provisions, and (D) providing that the deductible shall not exceed the sum of $25,000.00, unless agreed to in writing by Beneficiary. For the purposes of this Deed of Trust the term “Full Replacement Cost” means the actual replacement cost of the Improvements and Equipment (without taking into account any depreciation, and exclusive of excavations, footings and foundations, landscaping and paving) determined annually by an insurer, a recognized independent insurance broker or an independent appraiser selected and paid by Trustor and in no event less than the coverage required pursuant to the terms of any Lease.
(ii) Business income interruption insurance (A) with loss payable to Beneficiary, (B) covering losses of income and Rents derived from the Premises and Improvements and any non-insured property on or adjacent to the Premises resulting from any risk or casualty required to be carried under subparagraph (a)(i) of this Paragraph 2, (C) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and all other insurable portions of the Trust Property have been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of eighteen (18) months from the date of the loss, whichever first occurs, and
9
notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period, and (D) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross income from the Trust Property for a period of eighteen (18) months. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined by Beneficiary prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Trustor’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Trust Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period. All insurance proceeds payable to Beneficiary pursuant to this Subparagraph 2(a)(ii) shall be held by Beneficiary and shall, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4, be applied to the Debt and/or disbursed to Trustor for payment of the costs and expenses to maintain and operate the Premises and Improvements in such amounts and at such times as Beneficiary may determine; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Trustor of its obligation to pay the Debt on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance. The perils covered by this insurance shall be the same as those accepted on the real property, including flood and earthquake, as necessary. This coverage shall be written on the same basis as the property policy stated in Subparagraph 2(a)(i) above.
(iii) The policy of insurance required pursuant to Subparagraph 2(a)(i) above shall contain Demolition Costs, Increased Cost of Construction and “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsements in amounts satisfactory to Beneficiary if any of the Improvements or the use of the Premises shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses or the ability to rebuild the Improvements is restricted or prohibited.
(iv) If windstorm coverage is excluded from the policy required under Subparagraph 2(a)(i) above, Trustor must provide separate windstorm insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of the original principal balance of the Loan and the maximum amount permitted by law, if the Premises are located in area where Beneficiary requires such insurance. Deductibles larger than five percent (5%) of the fair market value of the Trust Property are subject to approval by Beneficiary.
(v) At all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements: (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the commercial general liability insurance policy described in Subparagraph 2(b), and (B) the insurance provided for in Subparagraph 2(a)(i) written on a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to Subparagraph 2(a)(i), (3) including permission to occupy the Improvements, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions. The amount of such coverage must be approved by Beneficiary.
(b) Commercial General Liability/Umbrella Liability. Comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Premises and Improvements, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000.00 and
10
$2.000,000.00 in the aggregate, together with excess and/or umbrella liability in an amount of at least $20,000,000; (B) to contain a liquor liability endorsement if any part of the Premises or Improvements are covered by a liquor license; (C) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Beneficiary in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; (D) to cover at least the following hazards, (1) premises and operations, (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis, (3) independent contractors, (4) blanket contractual liability for all written and oral contracts, (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Paragraph 36 hereof to the extent the same is available, and (6) all legal liability imposed upon Trustor and all court costs and attorneys’ fee incurred in connection with the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Trust Property; and (E) to be without any deductible. If Trustor has a multi-location policy or loan, the coverage must be maintained on a “per-location basis”.
(c) Flood Insurance. Flood insurance will be required if any portion of the Improvements is situated in a federally designated “special flood hazard area” (for example, Zones A and V) as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or any successor thereto, as an area having special flood hazards pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, The Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, (the “Flood Insurance Acts”). The minimum amount of flood insurance required is the lesser of one hundred percent (100%) of the Full Replacement Cost (plus business interruption coverage) or the maximum limit of coverage available for the Improvements under the Flood Insurance Act. The maximum deductible shall be no more than five percent (5%) of the fair market value of the Trust Property.
(d) Sinkhole, Mine Subsidence and Earthquake. Sinkhole, mine subsidence and earthquake insurance shall be obtained and maintained if in the opinion of a professional engineer with experience in this professional area there is a foreseeable risk of loss due to this hazard. If necessary, as determined by such engineer, Trustor shall maintain coverage in the full principal amount of the Loan.
(e) Boiler and Machinery Coverage. Comprehensive broad form boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for explosion) covering all steam boilers, heating and air conditioning equipment, high pressure piping, machinery and equipment, sprinkler systems, pressure vessels, refrigeration equipment and piping, or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed in the Improvements (including “system breakdown coverage”) and insuring against loss of occupancy or use arising from any breakdown, in an amount at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal amount of the Note or $2,000,000.00, with a deductible no greater than $25,000, unless approved by Beneficiary.
(f) Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability. Workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which the Premises are located, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000.00 per accident and per disease per employee, and $1,000,000.00 for disease aggregate in respect of any work or operations on or about the Premises and Improvements, or in connection with the Premises and Improvements or their operation (if applicable).
11
(g) Miscellaneous. Such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Beneficiary in order to protect its interests, including such insurance as may now be or hereafter becomes available that Beneficiary reasonably deems prudent in light of then prevailing market or industry practices or applicable law.
All policies of insurance (the “Policies”) required pursuant to this Paragraph 2 (i) shall be issued by companies approved by Beneficiary and licensed to do business in the state where the Trust Property is located, with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings and Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc. and a rating of “A: IX” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports, (ii) shall with respect to the policies described in Paragraphs 2(a)(v)(A) and 2(b), name Beneficiary and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as an additional insured, and with respect to all other Policies provide that all proceeds be payable to Beneficiary as loss payee, (iii) shall contain a non-contributory standard beneficiary clause and a lender’s loss payable endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Beneficiary as the person to which all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid, (iv) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Beneficiary, (v) shall be maintained throughout the Term without cost to Beneficiary, (vi) shall be assigned and the originals delivered to Beneficiary (including certified copies of the Policies in effect on the date hereof within thirty (30) days after the closing of the Loan), provided that in lieu of providing original (or certified copies) of the Policies, Trustor may evidence compliance with the insurance coverage requirements of this Paragraph 2 by delivering to Beneficiary XXXXX Form 25-S, Certificate of Liability Insurance, and XXXXX Form 27, Evidence of Property Insurance, as of the date of this Deed of Trust and at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the referenced Policies in form and substance acceptable to Beneficiary, and each XXXXX form of certificate must specify the additional insured status and/or waivers of subrogation, state the amounts of all deductibles and self-insured retentions, if any, set forth notice requirements for cancellation, material change, or non-renewal of insurance and be accompanied by copies of all required endorsements, (vii) shall contain such provisions as Beneficiary deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest including, without limitation, endorsements providing that Beneficiary shall not be liable for the payment of any of the Insurance Premiums, that neither Trustor, Beneficiary nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said Policies, that no act or negligence of Trustor, or anyone acting for Trustor, or of any tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Beneficiary is concerned, and that Beneficiary shall receive at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation, and (viii) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Beneficiary and shall be approved by Beneficiary as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Trustor shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary (provided, however, that Trustor is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Insurance Premiums in the event that no Event of Default exists that is then continuing and Trustor has previously deposited with Beneficiary sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums from the Tax and Insurance Impound). If Trustor does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Beneficiary may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Trustor agrees to reimburse Beneficiary for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand. Trustor covenants and agrees to promptly forward to Beneficiary a copy of each written notice received by Trustor of any modification,
12
reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies. Within thirty (30) days after request by Beneficiary, Trustor shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Beneficiary, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like. The insurance coverages required by this Paragraph 2 may be effected under a so-called “blanket” insurance policy, which covers other property in addition to the Trust Property, provided that such blanket policy (or certificate issued thereunder) shall specify, except in the case of commercial general liability insurance, the premises address of each building comprising the Improvements that are covered under such policy and the portion of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Trust Property. With respect to all blanket insurance policies, Trustor shall comply with all other terms and conditions of this Paragraph 2 as if such blanket policies were “Policies.”
3. Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) If the Trust Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”) or if Trustor shall have knowledge of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding that would affect any portion of the Premises or Improvements (a “Condemnation”), Trustor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Beneficiary and, with respect to a Condemnation, shall deliver to Beneficiary copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation.
(b) Beneficiary may participate in any proceedings for any taking by any public or quasi-public authority accomplished through a Condemnation or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of a Condemnation (which transfer in lieu and Condemnation are collectively referred to as a “Taking”) to the extent permitted by law. Upon Beneficiary’s written request, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Trustor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Beneficiary, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Trustor shall not make any consent or agree to a Taking without the prior written consent of Beneficiary in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in the case of a Taking of an insubstantial portion of the Trust Property.
(c) Subject to the terms of Paragraph 4 below, all insurance proceeds payable under the Policies and all awards or payments payable on account of a Taking (“Award”), and all causes of action, claims, compensation, awards and recoveries for any other damage, injury, or loss or diminution in value of the Trust Property, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Beneficiary. Trustor agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as may be requested by Beneficiary to confirm the foregoing assignment to Beneficiary. Trustor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as the attorney-in-fact of Trustor (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Debt is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Trustor and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Trustor subsequent to the date hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of Paragraph 4, to settle for, collect and receive all proceeds of insurance and any Award and any other awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittance therefor.
13
(d) Beneficiary shall not be limited to the interest paid on an 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. Trustor shall cause any Award that is payable to Trustor to be paid directly to Beneficiary. If the Trust Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Beneficiary of the Award, Beneficiary shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note (to the extent permitted in the Note or herein) shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof, to the extent sufficient to pay the unpaid portion, if any, of the Debt.
(e) The expenses incurred by Beneficiary in the adjustment and collection of the proceeds of insurance or an Award shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby and shall be reimbursed by Trustor to Beneficiary upon demand or, at Beneficiary’s election, deducted by and reimbursed to Beneficiary from such proceeds.
4. Use of the Proceeds of Insurance or Award.
(a) In case of loss or damages covered by any of the Policies and in case of an Award for any Taking, the following provisions shall apply:
(i) In the event of a Casualty that does not exceed the lesser of ten percent (10%) of the original principal amount of the Note or $500,000.00, Trustor may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Beneficiary and agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid upon the loss provided that such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner. In such case, Trustor is hereby authorized to collect and receive any such insurance proceeds.
(ii) In the event of a Casualty that does exceed $500,000.00 but does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the original principal amount of the Note, Beneficiary may settle and adjust any claim, provided, however, that any final agreement with the insurance company or companies of the amount to be paid for the Casualty shall be subject to the approval of Trustor as hereinafter provided, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In any such case, the proceeds under the Policies shall be due and payable solely to Beneficiary and held in escrow by Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of this Deed of Trust. Trustor shall have the right to participate in the settlement discussions with the applicable insurance company or companies and Beneficiary shall keep Trustor apprised of all settlement offers and discussions and the results thereof. Beneficiary shall provide ten (10) business days advance written notice to Trustor of the terms and amount of any proposed final agreement on any such claim (such proposed final amount, the “Beneficiary Approved Settlement Amount”). If Trustor disapproves of Beneficiary’s settlement of the claim on such terms and at such amount, Trustor must furnish written notice of such disapproval (any such notice, an “Arbitration Notice”) to Beneficiary within ten (10) business days after Trustor’s receipt of Beneficiary’s notice, such notice of disapproval by Trustor to state Trustor’s election to implement the arbitration procedure set forth in this Paragraph 4 below. Trustor’s failure to furnish notice of disapproval prior to the expiration of such ten (10) business day period shall constitute and be deemed Trustor’s
14
consent and approval to Beneficiary’s settlement of the applicable claim for an amount not less than the Beneficiary Approved Settlement Amount.
(iii) In the event of a Casualty that exceeds ten percent (10%) of the original principal amount of the Note, Beneficiary may settle and adjust any claim related thereto if carried out in accordance with standards and practices customary for the settlement and adjustment of claims in respect of properties similar to the Trust Property without the consent of Trustor and agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the proceeds of any such policy shall be due and payable solely to Beneficiary and held in escrow by Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of this Deed of Trust.
(iv) In the event of a Taking where the Award is in an aggregate amount less than ten percent (10%) of the original principal balance of the Note and the Taking does not affect any portion of the Improvements or any portion of the Premises which in Beneficiary’s reasonable determination is integral to the operation of the Premises and Improvements, or in the event of a Casualty where the loss is in an aggregate amount less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the original principal balance of the Note, and (A) no Event of Default has occurred which is then continuing, and (B) in the reasonable judgment of Beneficiary (1) the Trust Property can be restored within twelve (12) months after insurance proceeds or the proceeds of the Award are made available and not less than six (6) months prior to the stated Maturity Date to a condition at least equal to the condition thereof that existed prior to the Casualty or Taking, (2) such restored Trust Property will be such that income from its operation is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to pay operating expenses of the Trust Property and debt service on the Debt in full (such assessment by Beneficiary to include consideration of the effect of the termination of any Leases due to such Casualty or Taking), (3) all necessary government approvals will be obtained to allow the rebuilding and reoccupancy of the Improvements, (4) there are sufficient sums available (through insurance proceeds, the Award and contributions by Trustor, the full amount of which shall at Beneficiary’s option have been deposited with Beneficiary) for the Repair Work (defined below) (including, without limitation, for any reasonable costs and expenses of Beneficiary to be incurred in administering the Repair Work) and for payment of the Debt as it becomes due and payable during the Repair Work, and (C) Trustor shall have delivered to Beneficiary, at Trustor’s sole cost and expense, an appraisal report in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary from an appraiser reasonably approved by Beneficiary showing the value of the Trust Property as proposed to be restored or repaired, then, and only then, the proceeds of insurance or of the Award (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Beneficiary) shall be applied in the manner set forth below to reimburse Trustor for the cost of work of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding (collectively the “Repair Work”) the Trust Property or the part thereof subject to the Casualty or Taking. Trustor hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently to prosecute the Repair Work; provided always, that Trustor shall pay all costs (and if required by Beneficiary, Trustor shall deposit the total thereof with Beneficiary in advance) of the Repair Work in excess of the net proceeds of insurance or Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof.
15
(v) Except as provided above in Subparagraph 4(a)(iv), in the event of any Casualty or Taking Beneficiary may elect in its absolute sole discretion and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Debt, to (A) apply the proceeds of insurance collected upon any Casualty or Award collected upon any Taking to the payment of the Debt, with or without accelerating the Maturity Date of the Note and declaring the entire outstanding Debt to be immediately due and payable, or (B) hold the insurance proceeds or Award proceeds and make them available to Trustor for the cost of the Repair Work in the manner set forth below. If Beneficiary elects under this subparagraph to apply the proceeds of insurance or Award to the payment of the Debt and no Event of Default has occurred which is then continuing, any such application to the Debt shall be considered an Involuntary Prepayment not requiring payment of the prepayment consideration set forth below. If an Event of Default has occurred which is then continuing and any proceeds of insurance or of an Award are applied to the Debt then Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary an additional amount equal to the greater of (1) the Yield Maintenance Premium (hereinafter defined), if any, that would be required hereunder if an Involuntary Prepayment (as hereinafter defined) has been defeased, or (2) three percent (3%) of the Involuntary Prepayment. The term “Involuntary Prepayment” shall mean an amount or amounts that Beneficiary receives representing (i) insurance proceeds or other payments as a result of a Casualty, or (ii) Awards or other payments made in connection with a Taking, and applied to the payment of the principal amount of the Debt. If Beneficiary elects to apply the proceeds of insurance collected upon any Casualty or Award collected upon any Taking to the payment of the Debt and the amount of such proceeds so applied do not pay the Debt in full, Trustor shall have the right on the next regularly scheduled payment date under the Note to prepay the entire remaining outstanding Debt together with an additional amount equal to the greater of (1) the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that would be required hereunder if such remaining outstanding portion of the Debt had been defeased, or (2) three percent (3%) of such remaining outstanding balance.
(vi) In the event Trustor is either entitled to disbursements from the insurance proceeds or Award proceeds held by Beneficiary or Beneficiary elects to make such proceeds available to Trustor for the Repair Work, such proceeds shall be disbursed to Trustor for costs and expenses incurred by Trustor for the Repair Work following (A) the receipt by Beneficiary of a written request from Trustor for disbursement and a certification by Trustor to Beneficiary that the applicable item of Repair Work has been completed, (B) the delivery to Beneficiary of invoices, receipts or other evidence verifying the cost of performing the Repair Work, and (C) for disbursement requests in excess of $10,000.00 with respect to any single item of Repair Work, or for any single item of Repair Work that is structural in nature, delivery to Beneficiary of (1) affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and who are furnishing or have furnished material or labor to the Trust Property have been paid all amounts due for labor and materials furnished to the Trust Property, (2) a certification from an inspecting architect or other third party acceptable to Beneficiary describing the completed Repair Work and verifying its completion and value, and (3) a new (or amended) certificate of occupancy for the portion of the Improvements covered by such Repair Work, if said new certificate of
16
occupancy is required by law, or a certification by Trustor that no new certificate of occupancy is required by law. Beneficiary shall not be required to make any such advances more frequently than one time in any calendar month. Beneficiary may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for the Repair Work be submitted to and approved by Beneficiary prior to commencement of the Repair Work, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In no event shall Beneficiary assume any duty or obligation for the adequacy, form or content of any such plans and specifications, or for the performance, quality or workmanship of any Repair Work. With respect to disbursements to be made by Beneficiary, no payment made prior to the final completion of the Repair Work shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the Repair Work performed from time to time; funds other than proceeds of insurance or the Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of Beneficiary, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Beneficiary by or on behalf of Trustor for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Beneficiary to pay for the cost of completion of the Repair Work, free and clear of all liens or claims for lien. Any surplus which may remain out of the proceeds of insurance or Award held by Beneficiary after payment of the costs of the Repair Work shall, in the sole and absolute discretion of Beneficiary, be retained, by Beneficiary and applied to payment of the Debt or paid to the party or parties legally entitled to such surplus.
(vii) If Trustor delivers an Arbitration Notice to Beneficiary, Trustor and Beneficiary shall, within five (5) business days after Beneficiary’s receipt of any such notice, jointly designate an independent and unaffiliated individual who has not less than ten (10) years experience with respect to settlement of claims resulting from casualties in respect of properties similar to the Premises and Improvements. Not later than five (5) business days after such joint designation of such individual, each of Trustor and Beneficiary shall submit to such individual its separate determinations of the commercially reasonable settlement amount for the applicable Casualty together with any documentation and other backup therefor and shall simultaneously therewith provide a copy of such submission to the other party. The individual so appointed shall review the applicable submissions and within ten (10) days after such individual’s designation select one of the submitted settlement amounts as more accurately reflective of the commercially reasonable settlement amount. Notice of such selection shall be furnished to Trustor and Beneficiary by the applicable individual prior to the expiration of such ten-day period. Upon such selection, Beneficiary shall be authorized to settle the applicable claim for an amount not less than the settlement amount so selected without any further right of consent of Trustor.
(viii) In the event that Trustor and Beneficiary are unable to agree on one individual to act as arbitrator within the five (5) business day period following Beneficiary’s receipt of the Arbitration Notice as contemplated under subparagraph (vii) above, then, in such case, the procedure set forth in this subparagraph (viii) shall be observed in lieu thereof. Not later than five (5) business days after Beneficiary’s receipt of the applicable notice to arbitrate, Trustor and Beneficiary shall each designate an
17
independent and unaffiliated individual who has not less than ten (10) years experience with respect to settlement of claims resulting from casualties in respect of properties similar to the Premises and Improvements and notify the other party of such appointment by identifying the appointee. Not later than five (5) business days after both arbitrators are appointed, the two selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator who shall also be an independent and unaffiliated individual who has not less than ten (10) years experience with respect to settlement of claims resulting from casualties in respect of properties similar to the Premises and Improvements, such selection to take place within five (5) business days after such arbitrator’s appointment. Trustor and Beneficiary shall submit to such third arbitrator their separate determinations of the commercially reasonable settlement amount together with any documentation and other backup therefor and shall simultaneously therewith provide a copy of such submission to the other party. The third arbitrator so appointed shall review the applicable submissions and within ten (10) days after such individual’s designation select one of the submitted settlement amounts as more accurately reflective of the commercially reasonable settlement amount. Notice of such selection shall be furnished to Trustor and Beneficiary by the applicable individual prior to the expiration of such ten-day period. Upon such selection, Beneficiary shall be authorized to settle the applicable claim for an amount not less than the settlement amount so selected without any further right of consent of Trustor.
(ix) Time shall be of the essence with respect to the performance of any and all rights and obligations under this Paragraph 4. The decisions of the arbitrator(s), if any, engaged under this Paragraph 4, shall be final and binding and may not be appealed to any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise except upon a claim of fraud or corruption. All of the costs and expenses of the arbitrator(s), if any, engaged under this Xxxxxxxxx 0, xxxxx xx the sole responsibility of Trustor.
(x) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the proceeds of insurance or Award disbursed to Trustor in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust shall be reduced by the reasonable costs (if any) incurred by Beneficiary in the adjustment and collection thereof and in the reasonable costs incurred by Beneficiary of paying out such proceeds (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs paid to third parties for inspecting the Repair Work and reviewing the plans and specifications therefor).
(b) If Trustor undertakes the Repair Work, Trustor shall promptly and diligently at Trustor’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds or Award, as appropriate, shall be sufficient for the purpose, complete the Repair Work to restore the Trust Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to the Casualty or Taking in accordance with the foregoing provisions.
(c) Any reduction in the Debt resulting from Beneficiary’s application of any sums received by it under this Paragraph 4 shall take effect only when Beneficiary actually receives such sums and elects to apply such sums to the Debt and, in any event, the unpaid portion of the Debt shall remain in full force and effect and Trustor shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Partial payments received by Beneficiary, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be applied
18
against the Note consistent with the prepayment provisions described therein for casualty or condemnation proceeds.
5. Tax and Insurance Impound. As of the date of this Deed of Trust, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary on demand for deposit into the Tax and Insurance Impound (as defined below) an amount (i) equal to one-twelfth of the Taxes estimated by Beneficiary to be due to the applicable taxing authorities as of the date such Taxes are first due and payable without penalty or interest after the date hereof multiplied by the number of months elapsed from and including the first month for which such Taxes have been assessed to and including the first month occurring after the month in which this Deed of Trust becomes effective, and (ii) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Beneficiary estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof multiplied by the number of months elapsed from and including the first month in which the currently effective Policies became effective to and including the first month occurring after the month in which this Deed of Trust becomes effective. Thereafter, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary on the first day of each calendar month (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Beneficiary estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Beneficiary sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Beneficiary estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Beneficiary sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (the fund into which said amounts in (a) and (b) above shall be deposited is hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Impound”). The monthly payment into the Tax and Insurance Impound and the payments of interest payable pursuant to the Note shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Trustor to Beneficiary. Trustor agrees to notify Beneficiary immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has or obtains knowledge and authorizes Beneficiary or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes and Other Charges directly from the appropriate taxing authority. Trustor hereby pledges to Beneficiary and grants to Beneficiary a security interest in any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in the Tax and Insurance Impound as additional security for the payment of the Debt. Provided that there are sufficient amounts on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Impound and no Event of Default exists that is then continuing. Beneficiary will apply the Tax and Insurance Impound to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Trustor pursuant hereto. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Impound, Beneficiary 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 amounts on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Impound shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Beneficiary shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Trustor or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Impound. In allocating such excess, Beneficiary may deal with the person shown on the records of Beneficiary to be the owner of the Trust Property. If at any time Beneficiary determines that the amounts on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Impound are not or will not be sufficient to pay the Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Beneficiary shall notify Trustor of such determination and Trustor shall increase its monthly payments to Beneficiary by the amount that Beneficiary 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. Whenever an Event of Default exists that is then continuing, Beneficiary may apply any sums then present in the Tax and Insurance Impound to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. Until expended or
19
applied as above provided, any amounts in the Tax and Insurance Impound shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The Tax and Insurance Impound shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Beneficiary. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, Trustor shall not receive interest or other earnings on the Tax and Insurance Impound, which shall be held in Beneficiary’s name at a financial institution selected by Beneficiary in its sole discretion. If Beneficiary so elects at any time, Trustor shall provide, at Trustor’s expense, a tax service contract for the Term issued by a tax reporting agency acceptable to Beneficiary. If Beneficiary does not so elect, Trustor shall reimburse Beneficiary for the cost of making annual tax searches throughout the Term.

Any disbursement by Beneficiary hereunder for a capital item in excess of $10,000 and not already paid for by Trustor, shall be made by joint check, payable to Trustor and the applicable contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with such capital item.

For purposes hereof, (i) “GSA Renewal Option” shall mean and refer to the right of GSA pursuant to Section 5 of the GSA Lease (defined below) to renew the term thereof for the period May 4, 2004, through and including May 3, 2009, on and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the GSA Lease and (ii) “GSA Lease” shall mean and refer to that certain U.S. Government Lease for Real Property dated February 6, 1998, by and between Trustor, as landlord, and GSA, as tenant, as heretofore supplemented and amended.

(e) Letter of Credit Provisions
For purposes hereof, “Letter of Credit” shall mean an unconditional irrevocable letter of credit naming Beneficiary as the party entitled to demand payment thereunder, issued by a national bank or other financial institution with a rating of “A” or better from Standard & Poors and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory in all respects to Beneficiary in its sole discretion. Any Letter of Credit furnished by Trustor hereunder shall be held by Beneficiary as additional security for the Loan, subject to release in accordance with the terms, provisions and conditions of this subparagraph (e). By and upon delivery of a Letter of Credit, Trustor shall thereby be deemed to have pledged to Beneficiary such Letter of Credit as additional security for the payment of the Debt without the requirement for the execution and delivery of any other document or instrument. Trustor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary such documents and instruments as Beneficiary may require to create and perfect such security interest.
Prior to the occurrence of the GSA Rollover Escrow Release Condition or the Carfax Rollover Escrow Release Condition, as the case may be, Trustor shall maintain the applicable Letter of Credit in full force and effect. If, at any time, either the issuer of the Letter of Credit furnishes notice of its election not to renew the Letter of Credit or, alternatively, the Letter of Credit shall expire by its terms as of a date certain and Trustor has failed to deliver to Beneficiary, on or before the date which is thirty (30) days prior to such expiration date, a substitute Letter of Credit satisfying the conditions and requirements hereof, then, in either such case, Beneficiary shall have the right, at any time thereafter, without the requirement of any notice to Trustor and without regard to the existence of any Event of Default hereunder, to draw on the outstanding Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds thereof in an interest bearing account in Beneficiary’s name at a financial institution selected by Beneficiary in its sole discretion. The aforesaid right of Beneficiary shall be exercised in its sole and absolute discretion, and the granting of such right shall not be deemed or construed in any manner as conferring any benefit to Trustor or imposing any restriction on Beneficiary in the exercise of such discretion. Following any such draw and deposit, the proceeds shall thereupon become funds subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of subparagraph (c) or (d) above, as applicable, including the pledge thereof as additional security for the Debt without the requirement for the execution and delivery of any other document or instrument. All interest or other earnings on such funds shall be and become part of such escrow fund. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is then continuing, Beneficiary may draw and apply the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, or any escrow funds to the extent the Letter of Credit has previously been drawn, to the payment of the Debt in such order as Beneficiary shall determine in its sole discretion. Promptly following the satisfaction of the GSA Rollover Escrow Release Condition or the Carfax Rollover Escrow Release Condition, as the case may be, and provided that no Event of Default has occurred that is then continuing, or event which with notice, the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred that is then continuing hereunder, Beneficiary shall release the applicable Letter of Credit (or any funds held in the applicable escrow established following a draw under such Letter of Credit) to Trustor.

7. Leases and Rents.
(a) For Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, including the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and confessed, Trustor has absolutely GRANTED, BARGAINED, SOLD, and CONVEYED, and by these presents does absolutely and unconditionally GRANT, BARGAIN, SELL, and CONVEY the Rents unto Beneficiary, in order to provide a source of future payment of the Debt subject only to the permitted exceptions applicable thereto and the License (herein defined), it being the intention of Trustor and Beneficiary that this conveyance be presently and immediately effective; TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Rents unto Beneficiary, forever, and Trustor does hereby bind itself, its successors, and assigns to warrant and forever defend the title to the Rents unto Beneficiary against every person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof; provided, however, that if Trustor shall pay or cause to be paid the Debt as and when the same shall become due and payable and shall perform and discharge or cause to be performed and discharged the Obligations on or before the date the same are to be perforrned and discharged, then this assignment shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, and all rights, titles, and interests conveyed pursuant to this assignment of rents shall become vested in Trustor without the necessity of any further act or requirement by Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary.
(b) Beneficiary hereby grants to Trustor a limited license (the “License”) subject to termination of the License in accordance with the applicable terms and provisions of Paragraph 25 hereof, to exercise and enjoy all incidences of the status of a lessor with respect to the Rents, including without limitation, the right to collect, demand, xxx for, attach, levy, recover, and receive the Rents, and to give proper receipts, releases, and acquittances therefor. Trustor hereby agrees to receive all Rents and hold the same as a trust fund to be applied, and to apply the Rents so collected, first to the payment of the Debt, next to the performance and discharge of the Obligations, and next to the payment of all expenses associated with the ownership and operation of the Premises and Improvements. Thereafter, Trustor may use the balance of the Rents collected in any manner not inconsistent with the Loan Documents. Neither this Assignment nor the receipt of Rents by Beneficiary shall effect a pro tanto payment of any portion of the Debt, and such Rents shall be applied as provided in this Paragraph 7. Furthermore, and notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 7, no credit shall be given by Beneficiary for any Rents until the money collected is actually received by Beneficiary, and no such credit shall be given for any Rents after termination or revocation of the License (except to the extent, if any, that Rents are actually received by Beneficiary and applied upon or after said receipt to the Debt), after foreclosure or other transfer of the Trust Property (or part thereof from which Rents are derived pursuant to this Deed of Trust) to Beneficiary or any other third party.
(c) Upon receipt from Beneficiary of a Lease Rent Notice (as defined in Paragraph 25 hereof), each lessee under the Leases is hereby authorized and directed to pay directly to Beneficiary all Rents thereafter accruing, and the receipt of Rents by Beneficiary shall be a release of such lessee to the extent of all amounts so paid. The receipt by a lessee under the Leases of a Lease Rent Notice shall be sufficient authorization for such lessee to make all future payments of Rents directly to Beneficiary and each such lessee shall be entitled to rely on such Lease Rent Notice and shall have no liability to Trustor for any Rents paid to Beneficiary after
27
receipt of such Lease Rent Notice. Rents so received by Beneficiary for any period prior to foreclosure under this Deed of Trust or acceptance of a deed in lieu of such foreclosure shall be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the following in such order and priority as Beneficiary shall determine: (i) the Debt and all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Trust Property and/or collecting Rent as it becomes due and payable and (ii) all expenses associated with the ownership and operation of the Premises and Improvements. In no event will this Paragraph 7 reduce the Debt except to the extent, if any, that Rents are actually received by Beneficiary and applied upon or after said receipt to the Debt in accordance with the preceding sentence. Without impairing its rights hereunder, Beneficiary may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, release to Trustor Rents so received by Beneficiary or any part thereof. As between Trustor and Beneficiary, and any person claiming through or under Trustor, other than any lessee under the Leases who has not received a Lease Rent Notice, this Assignment of Rents is intended to be absolute, unconditional and presently effective (and not an assignment for additional security), and the Lease Rent Notice hereof is intended solely for the benefit of each such lessee and shall never inure to the benefit of Trustor or any person claiming through or under Trustor, other than a lessee who has not received such notice. It shall never be necessary for Beneficiary to institute legal proceedings of any kind whatsoever to enforce the provisions of this Deed of Trust with respect to Rents. TRUSTOR SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT OR CLAIM AGAINST ANY LESSEE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY RENTS TO BENEFICIARY HEREUNDER, AND TRUSTOR HEREBY INDEMNIFIES AND AGREES TO HOLD FREE AND HARMLESS EACH LESSEE FROM AND AGAINST ALL LIABILITY, LOSS, COST, DAMAGE OR EXPENSE SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY SUCH LESSEE BY REASON OF SUCH LESSEE’S COMPLIANCE WITH ANY DEMAND F0R PAYMENT OF RENTS MADE BY BENEFICIARY CONTEMPLATED BY THIS DEED OF TRUST.
(d) At any time during which Trustor is receiving Rents directly from any of the lessees under the Leases, Trustor shall, upon receipt of written direction from Beneficiary, make demand and/or xxx for all Rents due and payable under one or more Leases, as directed by Beneficiary, as it becomes due and payable, including Rents which are past due and unpaid. If Trustor fails to take such action, or at any time during which Trustor is not receiving Rents directly from lessees under the Leases, Beneficiary shall have the right (but shall be under no duty) to demand, collect and xxx for, in its own name or in the name of Trustor, all Rents due and payable under the Leases, as it becomes due and payable, including Rents which are past due and unpaid.
(e) All security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash or any other form, shall not be commingled with any other funds of Trustor and, if cash, shall be deposited by Trustor at such commercial or savings bank or banks as may be reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary. Any bond or other instrument which Trustor 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 be issued by an institution reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, and shall, in all respects, comply with any applicable legal requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary. Trustor shall, upon request, provide Beneficiary with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary of Trustor’s compliance with the foregoing. Whenever an Event of Default exists that is then
28

For purposes hereof, “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect upon (i) the business operations, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Trustor, (ii) the ability of Trustor to perform, or of Beneficiary to enforce, any material provision of any Loan Document, or (iii) the value, use or enjoyment of the Trust Properly or the operation thereof.

Subject to the provisions below covering Material Leases, Trustor may, without the consent of Beneficiary, amend, modify or waive the provisions of any Lease, provided that such action is in the normal course of Trustor’s business in a manner which is consistent with sound and customary leasing and management practices for similar properties in the community in which the Improvements are located, does not have a Material Adverse Effect upon the value of any of the Premises and Improvements, and provided further that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. Following Beneficiary’s written request, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary a duplicate original or certified copy of the amendment, modification or waiver. Subject to the provisions below covering Material Leases, Trustor may terminate or permit the termination of any Lease or accept surrender of all or any portion of the space demised under any Lease or acquire any Lease or reduce the rentals reserved under or shorten the term of any Lease so long as such action is in the normal course of Trustor’s business in a manner which is consistent with sound and customary leasing and management practices for similar properties in the community in which the Improvements are located, and does not materially adversely affect the value of the Premises and Improvements (taking into account the planned alternative uses of the space) or the ability of Trustor to pay the Debt.

Notwithstanding anything in this Deed of Trust to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a transfer of the Note in accordance with this paragraph, but Trustor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary, including Beneficiary’s attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection with this Paragraph 11.

(i) The term “Defeasance Deposit” shall mean an amount equal to the sum of one-hundred percent (100%) of the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note, the Yield Maintenance Premium, any costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred in the purchase of U.S. Obligations necessary to meet the Scheduled Defeasance Payments and any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Note or otherwise required to accomplish the agreements of this paragraph;
(ii) The term “Yield Maintenance Premium” shall mean the amount (if any) which, when added to the remaining principal amount of the Note, will be sufficient to purchase U.S. Obligations providing the required Scheduled Defeasance Payments; and

12. Estoppel Certificates and No Default Affidavits.
(a) After written request by Beneficiary, Trustor, within ten (10) days, shall furnish Beneficiary or any proposed assignee with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) 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 terms of payment and maturity date of the Note, (v) the date installments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (vi) that, except as provided in such statement, no Events of Default or events which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default exist under any of the Loan Documents that is then continuing, (vii) that, except as expressly set forth in such statement, all representations and warranties of Trustor set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of such statement, (viii) that the Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification, (ix) whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Debt or Obligations and, if any are alleged to exist, a detailed description thereof, (x) that all Leases are in full force and effect and (provided the Improvements are not a residential multifamily property) have not been modified (or if modified, setting forth all modifications), (xi) the date to which the Rents thereunder have been paid pursuant to the Leases, (xii) whether or not, to the best knowledge of Trustor, any of the lessees under the Leases are in default under the Leases, and, if any of the lessees are in material default, setting forth the specific nature of all such material defaults, (xiii) the amount of security deposits held by Trustor under each Lease and that such amounts are consistent with the amounts required under each Lease, and (xiv) as to any other matters reasonably requested by Beneficiary and reasonably related to the Leases, the Debt and Obligations, the Trust Property or this Deed of Trust.
(b) Upon Beneficiary’s written request, subject to the provisions of the Leases, Trustor shall request from each tenant whose Lease requires such tenant to execute and deliver an estoppel certificate (and with respect to any tenant whose Lease does not require the same Trustor shall use its best efforts to obtain such certificate), and shall thereafter promptly deliver to Beneficiary duly executed estoppel certificates from any one or more tenants under the Leases as received by Beneficiary from any one or more of such tenants. Subject to the provisions of any such Leases that specify the contents of such estoppel certificates, such estoppel certificates shall attest to such facts regarding the Leases as Beneficiary may reasonably require, including, but not limited to, to the extent accurate, attestations that each Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect with no material defaults thereunder on the part of any party, that none of the Rents have been paid more than one month in advance, except as security, and that the lessee claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its obligations under the Lease. Trustor shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than one (1) time in any calendar year, other than the calendar year during which a Secondary Market Transaction occurs.
13. 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 Beneficiary’s interest in the Trust Property, Trustor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. In the event Beneficiary is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Trustor would be unlawful or taxable to Beneficiary or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of
41
usury, then in any such event, Beneficiary shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable, in which event the payment of the Debt shall be without any prepayment or yield maintenance premium or penalty.
14. No Credits on Account of the Debt. Trustor 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, Beneficiary shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable, in which event the payment of the Debt shall be without any prepayment or yield maintenance premium or penalty.
15. 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, Trustor will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.
16. Controlling Agreement. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Trustor, and Beneficiary at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Beneficiary to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Paragraph 16 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 Beneficiary’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note, or if any prepayment by Trustor results in Trustor having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Trustor’s and Beneficiary’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Beneficiary shall be credited on the principal balance of the Note and all other Debt, 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 Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary 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.
17. Financial Statements.
(a) Trustor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that the financial statements heretofore furnished to Beneficiary are, as of the dates specified therein, complete and correct in all material respects and fairly present the financial condition of the Trustor and any other persons
42
or entities that are the subject of such financial statements, and are prepared in accordance with sound accounting principles consistently applied. Trustor does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Trustor and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Trust Property or the operation of the Improvements, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operation or business of Trustor from that set forth in said financial statements.
(b) Trustor will maintain full and accurate books and records of accounts in accordance with sound accounting principles consistently applied in which full, true and correct entries shall be promptly made with respect to Trustor, the Trust Property and the operation thereof, and will permit all such books and records (including without limitation all contracts, statements, invoices, bills and claims for labor, materials and services supplied for the construction, repair or operation of the Improvements) to be inspected or audited and copies made by Beneficiary and its representatives during normal business hours and at any other reasonable times. Trustor will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Beneficiary on or before forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter the following items, each certified by Trustor as being true and correct, in such format and in such detail as Beneficiary may request: (i) a written statement (rent roll) dated as of the last day of each such calendar quarter identifying each of the Leases by the term, space occupied, rental required to be paid, security deposit paid, any rental concessions, commencement date, expiration date, options to renew or expand, expense recovery provisions, and 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 reporting period detailing the total revenues received, total expenses incurred, total cost of all capital improvements, total debt service and total cash flow. From the date hereof through the earlier of the date twelve (12) months after the date hereof or the date of disposition of the Loan by Beneficiary in a Secondary Market Transaction (defined in Paragraph 19(b)), the Trustor shall furnish on a monthly basis each of the items listed in the immediately preceding sentence (collectively, the “Pre-Securitization Financials”) within twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar month. Trustor’s annual financial statements shall include, except with respect to tenants occupying and Leases covering residential dwelling units, (i) a list of the tenants, if any, occupying more than twenty (20%) percent of the total floor area of the Improvements, and (ii) 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. Within ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar year, Trustor shall furnish statements of its financial affairs and condition including a balance sheet and a statement of profit and loss for the Trustor in such detail and format as Beneficiary may request, and setting forth the financial condition and the income and expenses for the Trust Property for the immediately preceding calendar year. Trustor’s annual financial statements shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by its chief financial officer, or by an authorized representative of its Governing Entity, as applicable, stating that each such annual financial statement presents fairly the financial condition of the Trust Property being reported upon in accordance with sound accounting principles consistently applied. Upon the request of Beneficiary, Trustor’s annual financial statement shall be audited by, or prepared and certified by,
43
an independent certified public accountant. At any time and from time to time Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary or its agents such other financial data as Beneficiary or its agents shall reasonably request with respect to the ownership, maintenance, use and operation of the Trust Property.
(c) In the event that Trustor fails to provide to Beneficiary or its designee any of the financial statements, certificates, reports or information (the “Required Records”) required by this Paragraph 17 within thirty (30) days after the date upon which such Required Record is due, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary, at Beneficiary’s option and in its sole discretion, an amount equal to $5,000; provided that, Beneficiary has given at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Trustor of such failure by Trustor to timely submit the applicable Required Record and the opportunity to cure such default by delivering the applicable Required Record during such fifteen (15) day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Trustor fails to provide Beneficiary with Pre-Securitization Financials on or before the date they are due, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary at Beneficiary’s option and in its sole discretion, an amount equal to $5,000 for each month that Trustor fails to deliver the required Pre-Securitization Financials.
18. Performance of Other Agreements. Trustor shall observe and perform each and every term to be observed or performed by Trustor pursuant to the terms of any of the Intangibles or any other agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Trust Property. Trustor further covenants and agrees to (a) give prompt notice to the Beneficiary of any notice received by the Trustor concerning any of the Intangibles or any such other agreement or recorded instruments, together with a complete copy of any such notice, (b) enforce, short of termination thereof, the performance and observance of each and every term, covenant and provision of the Intangibles and any such other agreement and recorded instrument to be performed or observed, if any, and (c) not terminate any of the Intangibles or any such other agreement or recorded statement without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary.
19. Further Acts, Etc.
(a) Trustor will, at the cost of Trustor, and without expense to Beneficiary, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, financing statement amendments or continuation statements, transfers and assurances as Beneficiary shall, from time to time, require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Beneficiary 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 Trustor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Beneficiary, 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 Loan and the Loan Documents as described in Paragraph 19(b) below. Trustor, on demand, will execute and deliver and hereby authorizes Beneficiary to execute in the name of Trustor or without the signature of Trustor to the extent Beneficiary may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, financing statement amendments, chattel mortgages or other instruments, to evidence more effectively the security interest of Beneficiary in the Trust Property. Upon foreclosure, the appointment of a receiver or any other relevant action, Trustor will, at the cost of Trustor and without expense to Beneficiary, cooperate fully and completely to
44
effect the assignment or transfer of any license, permit, agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the operation of the Trust Property. Trustor grants to Beneficiary and Trustee an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Beneficiary and Trustee at law and in equity, including, without limitation, such rights and remedies available to Beneficiary and Trustee pursuant to this paragraph.
(b) Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary and its successors and assigns may (i) sell, assign or transfer this Deed of Trust, the Note and other Loan Documents to one or more investors as a whole loan, (ii) grant participation interests in the Loan to investors or issue to investors mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement to one or more investors, (iii) deposit this Deed of Trust, the Note and other Loan Documents with a trust, which trust may sell certificates to investors evidencing an ownership interest in the trust assets, (vi) transfer any and all of the servicing rights with respect to the Loan, or delegate any or all of its responsibilities as Beneficiary under the Loan Documents, or (v) otherwise sell the Loan or interest therein to investors (the transactions referred to in clauses (i) through (v) are hereinafter each referred to as “Secondary Market Transaction”); provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, Trustor shall not be obligated to take any action nor shall any such requirements be imposed in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction that would: (i) change the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; (ii) increase the interest rate or payments on the Loan; (iii) increase the rate of amortization of the Loan; (iv) shorten the maturity date of the Loan; (v) alter in any material way the transfer restrictions relating to direct or indirect interests in the Trust Property (including any equity interests in the direct or indirect owners of Trustor); (vi) affect the limitations on recourse against Trustor; (vii) increase the amounts of reserves or escrows; (viii) violate any existing agreement to which Trustor, Guarantor or any of their affiliates is a party or any applicable law; or (ix) materially change any obligation of Trustor under the other Loan Documents. Trustor shall cooperate with Beneficiary in effecting any such Secondary Market Transaction and shall cooperate to implement all requirements imposed by any Rating Agency involved in any Secondary Market Transaction, provided, however, that Trustor shall not be required to (A) incur any additional liability under the Loan Documents, (B) suffer any increased obligation under the Loan Documents or (C) suffer any diminishment of its rights under the Loan Documents. Trustor shall provide such information, legal opinions and documents relating to Trustor, Guarantor, if any, the Trust Property and any tenants of the Improvements (to the extent in Trustor’s possession or control) as Beneficiary may reasonably request in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction. Beneficiary shall bear the reasonable out of pocket expense incurred by Trustor to third parties (but not Trustor’s general and administrative overhead) in providing any such information, opinions and documents so long as Trustor notifies Beneficiary in writing promptly after receipt of Beneficiary’s request for the aforesaid information, opinions and documents of the nature and specific amount of the third party expenditure that will be incurred in complying with Beneficiary’s request. In addition, Trustor shall make available to Beneficiary all information concerning its business and operations that Beneficiary may reasonably request. Beneficiary shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory firms involved with the Loan and the Loan Documents or the applicable Secondary Market Transaction. It is understood
45
that the information provided by Trustor to Beneficiary may ultimately be incorporated into the offering documents for the Secondary Market Transaction and thus various investors may also see some or all of the information. Beneficiary and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, Trustor and Trustor indemnifies Beneficiary as to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Sanctioned Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Beneficiary may publicize the existence of the Loan in connection with its marketing for a Secondary Market Transaction or otherwise as part of its business development. For purposes hereof, the term “Sanctioned Information means written disclosure materials prepared by Beneficiary for use in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, but only that portion of such disclosure materials that contain information about Trustor’s financial condition, business or operations or about the Trust Property, and which disclosure materials Trustor has expressly approved in writing for such use after having had not less than five (5) business days, to review the final forms of such disclosure materials.
20. Recording of Deed of Trust, Etc. Trustor 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 upon, and the interest of Beneficiary in, the Trust Property. Trustor 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. TRUSTOR HEREBY AGREES, AT ITS SOLE COST AND EXPENSE, TO PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES (AS DEFINED BELOW) IMPOSED UPON OR INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTIES AND DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO ANY TAX ON THE MAKING AND/OR RECORDING OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b) subject to Trustor’s right to contest as provided herein, if any of the Taxes or Other Charges are not paid when the same are due and payable (unless and to the extent such failure is due to Beneficiary’s failure to pay Taxes when sums sufficient for such purpose are on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Impound and no other Event of Default exits that is then continuing);
(c) if the Policies are not kept in full force and effect (unless the same results from Beneficiary’s failure to pay the applicable premiums therefor when sums sufficient for such purpose are on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Impound and no other Event of Default exits that is then continuing), or if the evidence of the Policies are not delivered to Beneficiary when required under Paragraph 2 and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof from Beneficiary to Grantor;

(e) if any representation or warranty of Trustor, 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 Beneficiary shall have been false or misleading in any material respect when made, and such representation or warranty shall, if the condition that gave rise to the breach of representation or warranty is susceptible of being cured, remain untrue or incorrect in a material respect for a period ending thirty (30) days after Trustor shall receive written notice of the falsity or inaccuracy of such representation or warranty from Beneficiary; provided, however, that if the breach of the representation or warranty is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30)-day period and Trustor shall have commenced to cure such breach within such thirty (30)-day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, Trustor shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to effect such cure, but in no event in excess of one hundred twenty (120) days from the original notice;
(f) if Trustor or any Guarantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or if Trustor or any Guarantor shall generally not be paying its debts as they become due;

47
(h) if Trustor shall be in default under any other deed of trust or security agreement covering any part of the Trust Property whether it be superior or junior in lien to this Deed of Trust;
(i) subject to Trustor’s right to contest certain liens as provided for in this Deed of Trust if the Trust Property becomes subject to any lien, except a lien for local real estate taxes and assessments not then due and payable, and such lien is not discharged of record (by payment, bonding or otherwise) within thirty (30) calendar days after the date Trustor receives written notice that the same is filed of record;
(j) if any federal tax lien is filed against Trustor, Guarantor or either of their respective Governing Entities, or any of the Trust Property, and the same is not discharged of record within thirty (30) calendar days after the date the same is filed of record;
(k) if Trustor fails to cure properly any violations of laws or ordinances affecting or which may be interpreted to affect the Trust Property within thirty (30) days after Trustor first receives notice of any such violations; provided, however, if such default is reasonably susceptible of cure, but not within such thirty (30) day period, then Trustor may be permitted up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days to cure such default provided that Trustor commences a cure within such initial thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and continuously pursues such cure;
(l) except as permitted in this Deed of Trust or required pursuant to the terms of any Lease, the alteration, improvement, demolition or removal of any of the Improvements, or any construction on the Premises, without the prior consent of Beneficiary;

24. Beneficiary’s Right To Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or if Trustor fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, Beneficiary may, so long as such Event of Default or failure is then continuing, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Beneficiary may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Beneficiary, 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 Beneficiary upon demand.
25. Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Beneficiary or Trustee may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Trustor and in and to the Trust Property by Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Beneficiary:
(i) Declare the entire Debt to be immediately due and payable.
(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 the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Deed of Trust for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien of this Deed of Trust for the balance of the Debt not then due.
(iv) Sell for cash or upon credit the Trust Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Trustor therein and rights of redemption
49
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.
(vi) Recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after any 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 Trustor, any Guarantor or of any person, firm or other entity liable for the payment of the Debt.
(viii) At any time, and without notice, either in person, by agent, or by receiver to be appointed by a court, enter and take possession of the Trust Property or any part thereof, and in its own name, xxx for or otherwise collect the Rents. Trustor hereby agrees that Beneficiary shall have the right (in its sole discretion), whenever an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, to terminate the License granted to Trustor in Paragraph 7 hereof, and thereafter direct by written notice to the lessees under the Leases (“Lease Rent Notice”) to pay directly to Beneficiary the Rents due and to become due under the Leases and attorn in respect of all other obligations thereunder directly to Beneficiary, or Trustee on Beneficiary’s behalf, without any obligation on the part of lessees to determine whether an Event of Default does in fact exist or has in fact occurred. All Rents collected by Beneficiary, or Trustee acting on Beneficiary’s behalf, shall be applied as provided for in Paragraph 7 of this Deed of Trust; provided, however, that if the costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees shall exceed the amount of Rents collected, the excess shall be added to the Debt, shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be immediately due and payable. The entering upon and taking possession of the Trust Property, the collection of Rents, and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default, if any, hereunder nor invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice, except to the extent any such default is fully cured. Failure or discontinuance by Beneficiary, or Trustee on Beneficiary’s behalf, at any time or from time to time, to collect said Rents shall not in any manner impair the subsequent enforcement by Beneficiary, or Trustee on Beneficiary’s behalf, of the right, power and authority herein conferred upon it. Nothing contained herein, nor the exercise of any right, power, or authority herein granted to Beneficiary, or Trustee on Beneficiary’s behalf, shall be, or shall be construed to be, an affirmation by it of any tenancy, lease, or option, nor an assumption of liability under, nor the subordination of, the lien or charge of this Deed of Trust, to any such tenancy, lease, or option, nor an election of judicial relief, if any such relief is requested or obtained as to Leases or Rents, with respect to the Trust Property or any collateral given by Trustor to Beneficiary. In addition, from time to time Beneficiary may elect, and notice hereby is given to each lessee under any Lease, to subordinate the lien of this Deed of Trust to any Lease by unilaterally executing and
50
recording an instrument of subordination, and upon such election the lien of this Deed of Trust shall be subordinate to the Lease identified in such instrument of subordination; provided, however, in each instance such subordination will not affect or be applicable to, and expressly excludes any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, claim, easement, restriction, option, covenant and other rights, titles, interests or estates of any nature whatsoever with respect to all or any portion of the Trust Property to the extent that the same may have arisen or intervened during the period between the recordation of this Deed of Trust and the execution of the Lease identified in such instrument of subordination.
(ix) Enter into or upon the Trust Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Trustor and its agents and servants therefrom, and thereupon Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary deems advisable; (C) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Trust Property; (D) exercise all rights and powers of Trustor with respect to the Trust Property, whether in the name of Trustor or otherwise.
(x) Pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity or under the Uniform Commercial Code.
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 Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, whether under the provisions of this paragraph or otherwise, shall be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportion as Beneficiary in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
(c) Beneficiary or Trustee 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, Beneficiary or Trustee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.
(d) Upon the completion of any sale or sales pursuant hereto, Beneficiary, 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. 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 Trustor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and
51
shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Trustor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Trustor.
(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, Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Trust Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting 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 Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under this Deed of Trust.
(f) No recovery of any judgment by Beneficiary and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Trust Property or upon any other property of Trustor 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 Beneficiary hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Beneficiary shall continue unimpaired as before.
(g) Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary’s sole discretion and without prejudice to Beneficiary.
(h) Beneficiary or Trustee may resort to any remedies and the security given by the Note, this Deed of Trust or in any of the other Loan Documents in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined by Beneficiary’s sole discretion. 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 in any of the other Loan Documents. The failure of Beneficiary or Trustee to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in the Note, this Deed of Trust or in 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 Beneficiary of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Beneficiary of any obligation for which Trustor is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default with respect to Trustor, or Trustor’s liability to pay such obligation. No sale of all or any portion of the Trust Property, no forbearance on the part of Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary or Trustee to Trustor, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Beneficiary in the remaining Trust Property or the liability of Trustor to pay the Debt. No waiver by Beneficiary or Trustee shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. All costs and expenses of Beneficiary in exercising its rights and remedies under this Paragraph 25 (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), shall be paid by Trustor immediately upon notice from Beneficiary or Trustee, with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Beneficiary or Trustee and such costs and expenses shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
52
(i) The interests and rights of Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Beneficiary 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.
26. Right of Entry and Inspection. In addition to any other rights or remedies granted under this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary, Trustee and their agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Premises, Improvements and Equipment at any reasonable time during the Term, and inspect, examine, audit and copy Trustor’s books and records, including all recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium of recording. The cost of such inspections, examinations, copying or audits shall be borne by Trustor should Beneficiary determine that an Event of Default exists that is then continuing, including the cost of all follow up or additional investigations, audits or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Beneficiary. The cost of such inspections, examinations, audits and copying, if not paid for by Trustor following demand, may be added to the Debt and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate. If Trustor prohibits, bars or fails to permit Beneficiary, Trustee or their agents from entering and inspecting the Premises, Improvements and Equipment at any reasonable time during the Term, or from inspecting, examining, auditing and copying Trustor’s books and records, including all recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium of recording, for more than five (5) days after a request is made by Beneficiary to do so, Trustor agrees to pay Beneficiary on demand the sum of $1,000.00 for each day after such five (5) day period that Trustor so prohibits, bars or fails, and such sum or sums shall be part of the Debt.
27. Security Agreement. This Deed of Trust is both a real property deed of trust and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Trust Property includes both real and personal property and all other assets, rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, including all proceeds and products thereof, and all supporting obligations ancillary to or arising in any way in connection therewith, of Trustor in the Trust Property. It is the intent of Trustor, Beneficiary, and Trustee that the lien and security interest granted in this Deed of Trust encumber all Leases and that all items contained in the definition of “Leases” which are included within the Uniform Commercial Code be covered by the security interest granted in this Paragraph 27; and all items contained in the definition of “Leases” which are excluded from the Uniform Commercial Code be covered by the grant of a deed of trust lien against the Trust Property contained in this Deed of Trust. Trustor by executing and delivering this Deed of Trust has granted and hereby grants to Beneficiary 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”). Trustor hereby agrees with Beneficiary to execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, such financing statements, financing statement amendments and such further assurances as Beneficiary may from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Beneficiary’s security interest herein granted. 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. If an Event of Default shall occur that is then continuing, Beneficiary and Trustee, in addition to any other rights and remedies
53
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 Beneficiary or Trustee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Beneficiary or Trustee, Trustor shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary and Trustee at a convenient place acceptable to Beneficiary. Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary and Trustee on demand any and all expenses, including fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary and Trustee with respect to the Collateral sent to Trustor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five (5) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Trustor; provided that if Beneficiary fails to comply with this sentence in any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of law under the Uniform Commercial Code. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion shall deem proper. Beneficiary may comply with any applicable state or federal law or regulatory requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered or deemed to affect adversely the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Beneficiary may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral, and specifically disclaim any warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a specific purpose or the like, and this procedure will not be considered or deemed to affect adversely the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Trustor acknowledges that a private sale of the Collateral may result in less proceeds than a public sale, and Trustor acknowledges that the Collateral may be sold at a loss to Trustor, and that, in such event, Beneficiary shall have no liability or responsibility to Trustor or any other party for such loss. If Beneficiary shall require the filing or recording of additional Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, amendments thereto or continuation statements, Trustor shall, promptly after request, execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, amendments thereto or continuation statements as Beneficiary 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 Trustor’s obligations under the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents. Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary at any time and from time to time to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements with or without the signature of Trustor as authorized by applicable law, including any statements describing the collateral as being all assets of Trustor, it being acknowledged that all such assets subject to the Uniform Commercial Code are intended to be included in the Collateral. For purposes of such filings, Trustor agrees to furnish promptly any information reasonably requested by Beneficiary. Trustor also hereby ratifies its authorization for Beneficiary to have filed any like initial financing statements, amendments thereto or continuation statements if filed prior to the date of this Deed of Trust. Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary and any officer or agent of Beneficiary, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Trustor or in Trustor’s name to execute in Trustor’s name any such documents and to otherwise carry out the purposes of this Paragraph, to the extent that Trustor’s authorization above is deemed not to be sufficient as a matter of law. To the extent permitted by law, Trustor hereby ratifies all acts said attorneys-in-fact shall lawfully do, have done in the past or cause to be done in the future by virtue hereof.
54
28. Actions and Proceedings. Beneficiary 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 Trustor, which Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, decides should be brought to protect their interest in the Trust Property. Beneficiary 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.
29. Contest of Certain Claims. At its own expense, Trustor may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes, Other Charges or mechanic’s or materialman’s lien asserted against the Trust Property if, and so long as, (a) such Lien is not being foreclosed or such legal proceedings 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 and either (i) within sixty (60) days of the inception of such Lien such Lien is released or discharged of record or is fully insured over by the title issuer that issued the title insurance policy that insures the lien of this Deed of Trust such that the Lien is not an exception to Beneficiary’s title to the Trust Property pursuant to this Deed of Trust, or (ii) Trustor deposits with Beneficiary, by the expiration of such sixty (60)-day period, a cash deposit, or an indemnity bond satisfactory to Beneficiary with a surety satisfactory to Beneficiary, in 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) Trustor 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustor shall immediately upon request of Beneficiary pay (and if Trustor shall fail so to do, Beneficiary may, but shall not be required to, pay or cause to be discharged or bonded against) any such Taxes, Other Charges or claim notwithstanding such contest, if in the reasonable opinion of Beneficiary, the Trust Property or any part thereof or interest therein may be in danger of being sold, forfeited, foreclosed, terminated, canceled or lost. Beneficiary may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Beneficiary, the entitlement of such claimant is established.
30. Recovery of Sums Required to be Paid. Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary or Trustee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Trustor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
31. Marshalling and Other Matters. Trustor 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, Trustor 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 Trustor, 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.
55
32. Hazardous Substances. All of the terms and provisions of Article II of the Environmental Indemnity are hereby incorporated into this Deed of Trust for all purposes as if set verbatim herein.

35. Compliance with Law; Alterations.
(a) Trustor agrees that the Trust Property shall at all times comply in all material respects with applicable with all Access Laws.
(b) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any other document regarding Beneficiary’s approval of alterations of the Premises or Improvements, Trustor shall not alter the Premises or Improvements in any manner which would increase Trustor’s responsibilities for compliance with the applicable Access Laws without the prior written approval of Beneficiary except to the extent that such increased responsibilities cannot reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Beneficiary’s approval of the plans, specifications, or working drawings for alterations of the Premises or Improvements shall create no responsibility or liability on behalf of Beneficiary for their completeness, design, sufficiency or their compliance with the Access Laws. The foregoing shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Trustor or by any of its tenants. Beneficiary may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of Access Law compliance from an independent architect, engineer, or other person acceptable to Beneficiary.
(c) Trustor agrees to give prompt notice to Beneficiary of the receipt by Trustor of any complaints related to violation of any Access Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with applicable Access Laws.
(d) Trustor shall take all appropriate measures to prevent, and will not engage in or knowingly permit any party to engage in, any criminal or illegal activities at the Premises or Improvements.

39. Non-Waiver. The failure of Beneficiary or Trustee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Deed of Trust. Any consent or approval by Beneficiary in any single instance shall not be deemed or construed to be Beneficiary’s consent or approval in any like matter arising at a subsequent date. Trustor shall not be relieved of Trustor’s obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Beneficiary or Trustee to comply with any request of Trustor or Guarantor to take any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note, or the other Loan Documents, (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Trust Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Beneficiary extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents.

Beneficiary or Trustee may take action to recover the Debt or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary or Trustee thereafter to foreclose this Deed of Trust. The rights and remedies of Beneficiary or Trustee under this Deed of Trust shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others.

The procedure provided for in this paragraph for substitution of Trustee shall be in addition to and not in exclusion of any other provisions for substitution, by law or otherwise.
50. Power of Sale.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Trustee, or the agent or successor of Trustee, at the request of Beneficiary, shall sell or offer for sale the Trust Property in such portions, order and parcels as Beneficiary 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 Trustor obligated to pay the Note and other secured indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust according to the records of Beneficiary 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.
61
At any such public sale, Trustee may execute and deliver in the name of Trustor 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 Beneficiary in its sole discretion may elect, and if Beneficiary 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 Deed of Trusts, pledges, contracts or guaranty, assignments of lease, or other security instruments, Beneficiary at its option may exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security instruments either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine.
(b) Upon any foreclosure sale or sales of all or any portion of the Trust Property under the power herein granted, Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary), 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 Trustor, or to the person or entity lawfully entitled thereto.
51. Recourse Provisions. Subject to the qualifications below, Beneficiary shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Trustor to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Deed of Trust or in any of the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Trustor, except that Beneficiary may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Beneficiary to enforce and realize upon its interests under the Note, this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, or in the Trust Property, the Rents (as defined in this Deed of Trust), or any other collateral given to Beneficiary pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Trustor only to the extent of Trustor’s interest in the Trust Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Beneficiary. By accepting the Note, this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, Beneficiary agrees that it shall not except as otherwise herein provided, xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment or other monetary judgment against Trustor in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this paragraph shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Beneficiary to name Trustor as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under this Deed of Trust; (c) affect the validity or enforceability
62
of any guaranty or indemnity made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of the Beneficiary thereunder; (d) impair the right of Beneficiary to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; or (f) constitute a waiver of the right of Beneficiary to enforce the liability and obligation of Trustor, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of, but only to the extent of, any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Beneficiary (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) Actual fraud and intentional misrepresentation by Trustor or any of its partners, officers, principals, members, any guarantor or any other person authorized to make statements or representations, or act, on behalf of Trustor in connection with the Loan;
(ii) Affirmative acts of physical waste committed on the Trust Property; damage to the Trust Property as a result of the intentional misconduct of Trustor or any of its principals, officers, general partners or members, or any agent or employee of any such persons; or the removal of any portion of the Trust Property in violation of the terms of the Loan Documents following and during the continuance of an Event of Default;
(iii) subject to any right to contest such matters, as provided in this Deed of Trust, failure to pay any valid taxes and assessments, mechanic’s liens, materialmen’s liens or other liens which could create liens on any portion of the Trust Property which would be superior to the lien or security title of this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents, to the full extent of the amount claimed by any such lien claimant;
(iv) all legal costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by Beneficiary in connection with litigation or other legal proceedings involving the collection or enforcement of the Loan or preservation of Beneficiary’s rights under the Loan Documents, including any costs incurred by Beneficiary arising from or relating to the filing of a petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code by or against Trustor, other than those customarily incurred by a Beneficiary in realizing upon its lien in an uncontested foreclosure sale after an undisputed default; provided, however, that no liability for any such costs and expenses shall arise in connection with a bona fide good faith litigation;
(v) the breach in any material respect of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in that certain Environmental and Hazardous Substance Indemnification Agreement of even date herewith given by Trustor to Beneficiary or in this Deed of Trust concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances or asbestos;
(vi) the misapplication or conversion by Trustor of (A) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Trust Property, (B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with the condemnation of all or a portion of the Trust Property, or (C) any Rents following and during the continuance of an Event of Default;
(vii) any security deposits or other refundable deposits collected with respect to the Trust Property which are not delivered to Beneficiary upon a sale or foreclosure of the Trust Property or other action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were
63
applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases (as defined in this Deed of Trust) prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such sale or foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; and
(viii) failure to maintain any Policies required under Paragraph 2 of this Deed of Trust, or to pay or provide the amount of any insurance deductible, to the extent of the applicable deductible, following a Casualty (as defined in this Deed of Trust) or other insured event (other than a circumstance of non-conformity arising by reason of a change in insurance market circumstance subsequent to the origination of the Loan which prevents such maintenance).
With respect to liability arising under clauses (iii) and (viii) above, such liability shall not arise to the extent, but only the extent, the required amounts had been paid by Trustor to Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust or the failure to pay, maintain or provide in any such case is due to the operation of the Trust Property failing to generate revenues sufficient, on a first priority basis, for the payment or maintenance thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Trustor in the event that: (i) the Trust Property or any part thereof becomes an asset in a voluntary bankruptcy or voluntary insolvency proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (ii) Trustor engages in any business activities other than those related to the Trust Property or violates the restrictions on indebtedness set forth in this Deed of Trust; (iii) Trustor fails to obtain Beneficiary’s prior written consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the Trust Property or any interests in Trustor; (iv) Trustor fails to obtain Beneficiary’s prior written consent to any assignment, transfer, or conveyance of the Trust Property or any interest therein as required by this Deed of Trust; or (v) there is an intentional breach of, or deliberate failure to perform, any of the representations, covenants and agreements of Section 1(1) of this Deed of Trust occurs.
52. Miscellaneous.
(a) Trustor covenants and agrees not to engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights under the Loan Documents) 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”). Trustor further covenants and agrees to deliver to Beneficiary such certifications or other evidence from tune to time throughout the Term, as REASONABLY requested by Beneficiary, that (i) Trustor is not an “employee benefit plan” as 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; (ii) Trustor is not subject to state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is true: (A) Equity interests in Trustor are publicly offered securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-10l(b)(2); (B) Less than twenty-five percent (25%) of
64
each outstanding class of equity interests in Trustor are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(f)(2); or (C) Trustor qualifies as an “operating company” or a “real estate operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(c) or (e) or an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. TRUSTOR FURTHER COVENANTS AND AGREES TO PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL LOSSES THAT ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY MAY INCUR AS A RESULT OF TRUSTOR’S BREACH OF THE COVENANTS IN THIS PARAGRAPH. The covenants and indemnity contained in this Paragraph 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 Trustor’s liability under any of the Loan Documents.
(b) The Loan Documents contain the entire agreement between Trustor and Beneficiary relating to or connected with the Loan. Any other agreements relating to or connected with the Loan not expressly set forth in the Loan Documents are null and void and superseded in their entirety by the provisions of the Loan Documents.
(c) Trustor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that there has not been committed by Trustor or 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 Trustor’s obligations under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents. Trustor hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act, omission or circumstance affording such right of forfeiture. IN FURTHERANCE THEREOF, TRUSTOR HEREBY INDEMNIFIES THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES AND AGREES TO DEFEND AND HOLD THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES INCURRED BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY 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 against Trustor 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 Trustor’s obligations under the Loan Documents is a potential result, shall, at the election of Beneficiary, constitute an Event of Default hereunder without notice or opportunity to cure.
(d) Trustor acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Trustor is relying solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Beneficiary or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Beneficiary. Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary 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 Trustor or its affiliates. Trustor acknowledges that it is represented by competent counsel and has consulted counsel before executing the Loan Documents.
(e) Trustor covenants and agrees to pay Beneficiary upon receipt of written notice from Beneficiary, all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
65
attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the costs and expenses of any title insurance company, appraisers, engineers or surveyors) incurred by Beneficiary in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents; (ii) Trustor’s performance of and compliance with Trustor’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) Beneficiary’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, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Deed of Trust and the other 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 Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents.
(f) THIS DEED OF TRUST, AND ITS VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED, INTERPRETED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED (WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES) AND APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW.
53. Reconveyance of Trust Property. Upon the performance of all obligations and the payment in full of all sums secured by this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall request Trustee to reconvey the Trust Property. Upon payment of its fees and any other sums owing to it under this Deed of Trust, Trustee shall reconvey the Trust Property without warranty to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. Such person or persons shall pay all costs of recordation, if any. The recitals in such conveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive of the truthfulness thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.”
54. Indemnification Paragraphs. TRUSTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS DEED OF TRUST CONTAINS CERTAIN INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPHS 7, 19, 20, 36 and 52.
55. Special State Provisions. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of any other Paragraph of this Deed of Trust with applicable law or with this Paragraph of this Deed of Trust, the terms and conditions of this Paragraph shall control and be binding.
(a) In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this paragraph and any other provision of this Deed of Trust, the terms and provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise, Beneficiary shall have the right to cause the Trust Property or any part thereof to be sold in order to accomplish the object of these trusts and upon demand by Beneficiary, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Trust Property or such part thereof as Trustee in its sole discretion may deem necessary to accomplish the objects of these trusts having first given notice
66
of the time and place of such sale as required by law for the sale of real property under Sections 55-59.1 et seq. of the Virginia Code (1950).
(c) Trustee may postpone such sale from time to time by giving advertisement of such postponed sale in the same manner in which any original sale was advertised, and on the date of such sale or the date to which such sale may have been postponed Trustee may sell the Trust Property to the highest bidder. Beneficiary or the holder or holders of said Note or their agents may bid and purchase at such sale. Trustee in conducting said sale may act either in person or through the agency of an auctioneer and may establish as one of the conditions of such sale that all bids and payments for said Trust Property be made in cash.
(d) The following provisions of Section 55-60, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, are hereby made applicable to this Deed of Trust:
Exemptions Waived;
Subject to (call) all upon default (subject to any notice and opportunity to cure set forth herein);

Substitution of trustee permitted; and
Any trustee may act.
(e) Any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents may be instituted in the Circuit Court of the city or county in which the Trust Property is located or in the United States District Court for the district in which the Trust Property is located (assuming such Court has jurisdiction), at the option of Beneficiary, and Trustor waives all objections it may have to such venue and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of either of such Courts in any such action, suit or proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Beneficiary to proceed in any other court having jurisdiction over any such action, suit or proceeding.
(f) On the first line of Paragraph 25(d), the word “Beneficiary” shall be deleted and replaced with the phrase “the Trustee, at the direction of Beneficiary,”.

(h) The words “county” and “County” in Paragraph 50(a) are hereby deleted and replaced with the phrase “city or county (as applicable)”.
67
(i) In Paragraph 50(a), after the phrase “after advertising the time, place and terms of sale”, insert the phrase “not less than once a week for two weeks or, if such advertisement is to run in a daily newspaper having a general circulation in the city or county wherein the Trust Property or the portion being sold lies, not less than once a day for three days, which may be consecutive days,”.
