title insurance policy or policies being
7

Exceptions") and Grantor shall warrant, defend and preserve such title and the
rights granted by this Deed of Trust with respect thereto against all claims of
all persons and entities. Grantor further warrants that it has the right to

2. Payment of Indebtedness. Grantor shall pay the Indebtedness at
the times and places and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement and
shall perform all the Obligations.
3. Requirements. (a) Grantor shall promptly comply with, or cause to
be complied with, and conform to all present and future laws, statutes, codes,
ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, rules, regulations and requirements, and
irrespective of the nature of the work to be done, of each of the United States
of America, any State and any municipality, local government or other political
subdivision thereof and any agency, department, bureau, board, commission or
other instrumentality of any of them, now existing or subsequently created
(collectively, "Governmental Authority") which has jurisdiction over the Trust

and discharge all taxes of every kind and nature (including, without
limitation, all real and personal property, income, franchise, withholding,
transfer, gains, profits and gross receipts taxes), all charges for any easement
or agreement maintained for the benefit of any of the Trust Property, all
general and special assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees,
all water and sewer rents and charges and all other public charges even if

reasonable discretion showing the payment of any other such Imposition. If by

interest from the time of payment at the rate of interest described in paragraph
4.1(c) of the Credit Agreement (the "Default Rate"). Any sums paid by Trustee or

upon the Premises subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust, and (ii)
payable on demand by Grantor to Trustee or Beneficiary, as the case may be,
together with interest at the Default Rate as set forth above.
(c) Grantor shall not claim, demand or be entitled to receive any
credit or credits toward the satisfaction of this Deed of Trust or on any
interest payable thereon for any taxes assessed against the Trust Property or
any part thereof, and shall not claim any deduction from the taxable value of
the Trust Property by reason of this Deed of Trust.
(d) Grantor shall have the right pursuant to subsection 7.3 of the
Credit Agreement to contest in good faith to the amount or validity of any
Imposition by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted with reserves in
conformity with GAAP, provided that Grantor shall demonstrate to Beneficiary's
reasonable satisfaction that such proceedings shall operate conclusively to
prevent the sale of the Trust Property, or
9
8
any part thereof, to satisfy such Imposition prior to final determination of
such proceedings.
(e) Upon written notice to Grantor, Beneficiary during the
continuance of an Event of Default (as defined below) shall be entitled to
require Grantor to pay monthly in advance to Beneficiary the equivalent of
1/12th of the estimated annual Impositions. Beneficiary may commingle such funds
with its own funds but Grantor shall be entitled to interest thereon at a rate
mutually agreed upon by Grantor and Beneficiary.
5. Insurance. (a) Grantor shall maintain or cause to be maintained
on all of the Premises:

years after construction of any Improvements has been completed. The
policy shall provide coverage on an occurrence basis against claims for

and property damage resulting from Grantor's negligence or other behavior
for which Grantor may be adjudged tortiously liable, subject to standard

property;

Improvements, workers' compensation insurance (including employer's
liability insurance) for all employees of Grantor engaged on or with

Improvements, with deductible approved by Beneficiary in its reasonable
discretion, in reporting form, covering the total replacement value of
work performed and equipment, supplies and materials furnished (with an
appropriate limit for soft costs in the case of construction); provided,
however, that the maintenance of insurance against earthquake and flood
risks shall be subject to availability of such insurance coverage on
commercially reasonable terms;
(vii) boiler and machinery property insurance covering pressure
vessels, air tanks, boilers, machinery, pressure piping, heating, air
conditioning and elevator equipment and escalator equipment, provided the
Improvements contain equipment of such nature, in such amounts as are
reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary but not less than the lesser of
$1,000,000 or 10% of the value of the Improvements;
(viii) if any portion of the Premises are located in an area
identified in the Federal Register as having special flood hazards by the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or other applicable agency,

improvements in an amount satisfactory to Beneficiary in its reasonable
discretion, but in no event less than the maximum limit of coverage

ending not later than the maturity of the Indebtedness and Beneficiary

of The Federal Reserve System; and
(ix) such other insurance in such amounts as Beneficiary may
reasonably request from time to time.
Each insurance policy (other than flood insurance written under the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, in which case to the extent available)
shall (i) provide that it shall not be cancelled, non-renewed or, in the case of
property and boiler and machinery insurance, materially amended without 30-days'
prior written notice to Beneficiary, (ii) with respect to all property
insurance, subject to availability on commercially reasonable terms, provide for
deductibles not to exceed $250,000, other than with respect to (a) flood,
freeze, windstorm and earthquake perils for which deductibles shall not exceed
the greater of $500,000 or 5% of values at risk per location involved in loss
and (b) boiler and machinery coverage for which deductibles shall not exceed the
greater of $500,000 or five times 100% of the daily time element value, contain
a "Replacement Cost Endorsement" without any deduction made for depreciation
and with no co-insurance penalty (or attaching an agreed amount endorsement
satisfactory to Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion), with loss payable
solely to Beneficiary (modified, if necessary and to the extent available under
such policy, to provide that proceeds in the amount of replacement cost may be
retained by Beneficiary without the obligation to rebuild) as its interest may
appear, without contribution, under a "standard" or "New York" mortgagee clause
acceptable to Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion and be written by
insurance companies having an A.M. Best Company, Inc. rating of A- or higher
and a financial size category of not less than VII, or otherwise as approved by
Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion and (iii) contain a "manuscript"
endorsement providing that Grantor may not unilaterally cancel such policy
without Beneficiary's prior written consent. Liability insurance policies shall
name Beneficiary as an additional insured and contain a waiver of subrogation
against Beneficiary; all such policies shall indemnify and hold Beneficiary
harmless from all liability claims occurring on, in or about the Premises and
the adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways, subject to standard policy
terms, conditions and exclusions. The amounts of each insurance policy and the
form of each such policy shall at all times be satisfactory to Beneficiary in
its reasonable discretion. Each policy shall expressly provide that any proceeds
which are payable to Beneficiary shall be paid by check payable to the order of
Beneficiary only and requiring the endorsement of Beneficiary only. If any
required insurance shall expire, be withdrawn, become void by breach of any
condition thereof by Grantor or by any lessee of any part of the Trust Property
or become void or unsafe by reason of the failure or impairment of the capital
12
11
of any insurer, Grantor shall immediately obtain new or additional insurance
satisfactory to Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion. Grantor shall not take
out any separate or additional insurance which is contributing in the event of
loss unless it is properly endorsed and otherwise satisfactory to Beneficiary in
all respects in its reasonable discretion.
(b) Grantor shall deliver to Beneficiary an original of each
insurance policy required to be maintained, or a certificate of such insurance
acceptable to Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion, together with a copy of
the declaration page for each such policy. Grantor shall (i) pay as they become
due all premiums for such insurance, (ii) not later than seven days prior to the
expiration of each policy to be furnished pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, deliver a renewed policy or policies, or certificates of insurance
acceptable to Beneficiary, in its reasonable discretion, or duplicate original
or originals thereof. Upon the reasonable request of Beneficiary, Grantor shall
cause its insurance underwriter or broker to certify to Beneficiary in writing
that all the requirements of this Deed of Trust governing insurance have been
satisfied.
(c) If Grantor is in default of its obligations to insure or deliver
any such policy or policies, or certificates of insurance acceptable to
Beneficiary, in its reason able discretion, then Beneficiary, at its option and
without notice, may effect such insurance from year to year, and pay the premium
or premiums therefor, and Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary on demand such
premium or premiums so paid by Beneficiary with interest from the time of
payment at the Default Rate and the same shall be deemed to be secured by this
Deed of Trust and shall be collectible in the same manner as the Indebtedness
secured by this Deed of Trust.
(d) Grantor shall increase the amount of property insurance required
to equal 100% replacement cost pursuant to the provisions of this Section at the
time of each renewal of each policy (but not later than 12 months from the date
of this Deed of Trust and each successive 12 month period to occur thereafter)
by using the Xxxxxx & Swift Building Cost Index to determine whether there shall
have been an increase in the replacement value since the most recent adjustment
and, if there shall have been such an increase, the amount of insurance required
shall be adjusted accordingly.
(e) Grantor promptly shall in all material respects comply with and
conform to (i) all provisions of each such insurance policy, and (ii) all
requirements of the insurers applicable to Grantor or to any of the Trust
Property or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation,
maintenance, alteration or repair of any of the Trust Property. Grantor shall
not use or permit the use of the Trust Property in any manner which would permit
any insurer to cancel any insurance policy or void coverage required to be
maintained by this Deed of Trust.
13
12
(f) (i) If the Trust Property, or any part thereof, shall be
destroyed or dam aged by fire or any other casualty, whether insured or
uninsured, or in the event any claim is made against Grantor for any personal
injury, bodily injury or property damage incurred on or about the Premises,
Grantor shall promptly give notice thereof to Beneficiary,
(ii) If the Trust Property is damaged by fire or other
casualty and the cost to repair such damage is less than $1,000,000, then
provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Grantor shall have the right to adjust such loss, and the insurance
proceeds relating to such loss may be paid over to Grantor; provided that
Grantor shall, promptly after any such damage, repair such damage to the
extent required by subsection 7.5 of the Credit Agreement regardless of
whether any insurance proceeds have been received or whether such
proceeds, if received, are sufficient to pay for the costs of repair.
(iii) if the Trust Property Is damaged by fire or other
casualty, and the cost to repair such damage exceeds the limit in Section
5(f)(ii) above, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, then Grantor authorizes and empowers Beneficiary, at
Beneficiary's option and in Beneficiary's reasonable discretion, as
attorney-in-fact for Grantor, to make proof of loss, to adjust and
compromise any claim under any insurance policy, to appear in and
prosecute any action arising from any policy, to collect and receive
insurance proceeds and to deduct therefrom Beneficiary's reasonable
expenses incurred in the collection process. Each insurance company
concerned is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for such loss
directly to Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall have the right to require
Grantor to repair or restore the Trust Property to the extent required by
subsection 7.5 of the Credit Agreement, and Grantor hereby designates
Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making any election
required or permitted under any insurance policy relating to such repair
or restoration. The insurance proceeds or any part thereof received by
Beneficiary may be applied by Beneficiary toward reimbursement of all
reasonable costs and expenses of Beneficiary in collecting such proceeds,
and the balance, at Beneficiary's option in its sole and absolute
discretion, to the principal (to the installments in inverse order of
maturity, if payable in installments) and interest due or to become due
under the Notes, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to
fulfill any other Obligation of Grantor, to the restoration or repair of
the property damaged, or released to Grantor. Application by Beneficiary
of any insurance proceeds toward the last maturing installments of
principal and interest due or to become due on the Loans shall not excuse
Grantor from making any regularly scheduled payments due thereunder, nor
shall such application extend or reduce the amount of such payments. In
the event Beneficiary elects to release such proceeds to Grantor, Grantor
14
13
shall be obligated to use such proceeds to restore or repair the Trust
Property to the extent required by subsection 7.5 of the Credit Agreement.
(g) In the event of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or other
transfer of title to the Trust Property in extinguishment of the Indebtedness,
all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to any insurance policies then
in force, to the extent assignable or transferable, shall pass to the purchaser
or grantee and Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary its attorney-in-fact, in
Grantor's name, to assign and transfer all such policies and proceeds to such
purchaser or grantee.
(h) Upon written notice to Grantor, Beneficiary, during the
continuance of an Event of Default, shall be entitled to require Grantor to pay
monthly in advance to Beneficiary the equivalent of 1/12th of the estimated
annual premiums due on such insurance. Beneficiary may commingle such funds with
its own funds but Grantor shall be entitled to interest thereon at a rate
mutually agreed upon by Grantor and Beneficiary.
(i) Grantor may maintain insurance required under this Deed of Trust
by means of one or more blanket insurance policies maintained by Grantor;
provided however, that (A) any such policy shall specify, or Grantor shall
furnish to Beneficiary a written statement from the insurer so specifying, the
maximum amount of the total insurance afforded by such blanket policy that is
allocated to the Premises and the other Trust Property and any sublimits and
aggregates in such blanket policy applicable to the Premises and the other Trust
Property, (B) each such blanket policy shall include an endorsement providing
that, in the event of a loss resulting from an insured peril, insurance proceeds
shall be allocated to the Trust Property in an amount equal to the coverages
required to be maintained by Grantor as provided above (subject to applicable
sublimits and aggregates) and (C) the protection afforded under any such blanket
policy shall be no less than that which would have been afforded under a
separate policy or policies relating only to the Trust Property (subject to
applicable sublimits and aggregates).
6. Restrictions on Liens and Encumbrances. Except for the lien of
this Deed of Trust and the Permitted Exceptions and except as otherwise
permitted pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not
further mortgage, nor otherwise encumber the Trust Property nor create or suffer
to exist any lien, charge or encumbrance on the Trust Property, or any part
thereof, whether superior or subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust and
whether recourse or non-recourse.
7. Due on Sale and Other Transfer Restrictions. Except as may be
otherwise expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not
sell, transfer, convey or assign all or any portion of, or any interest in, the
Trust Property.
15

8. Maintenance; No Alteration; Inspection; Utilities. (a) Grantor
shall maintain or cause to be maintained all the Improvements in good condition
and repair and shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Improvements. To the
extent required under subsection 7.5 of the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall
repair, restore, replace or rebuild promptly any part of the Premises which may
be damaged or destroyed by any casualty whatsoever to a condition substantially
equivalent to its condition prior to the damage or destruction. Except as
permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Improvements shall not be demolished or
materially altered, nor any material additions built, without the prior written
consent of Beneficiary, provided that Grantor may make alterations or additions
without the consent of Beneficiary that do not materially reduce the value of
the Trust Property.
(b) Beneficiary and any persons authorized by Beneficiary shall,
upon reason able notice and at any reasonable time, have the right to enter and
inspect the Premises and the right to inspect all work done, labor performed and
materials furnished in and about the Improvements and the night to inspect and
make copies, to the extent reason able, of all books, contracts and records of
Grantor relating to the Trust Property.
(c) Except as permitted under subsection 7.3 of the Credit
Agreement, Grantor shall pay or cause to be paid prior to delinquency, all
utility charges which are incurred for gas, electricity, water or sewer services
furnished to the Premises and all other assessments or charges of a similar
nature, whether public or private, affecting the Premises or any portion
thereof, whether or not such assessments or charges are liens thereon.
9. Condemnation/Eminent Domain. Promptly upon obtaining knowledge of
the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Trust Property,
or any portion thereof, Grantor will notify Beneficiary of the pendency of such
proceedings. Grantor authorizes Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option and in
Beneficiary's reasonable discretion, as attorney-in-fact for Grantor, to
commence, appear in and prosecute, in Beneficiary's or Grantor's name, any
action or proceeding relating to any condemnation of the Trust Property, or any
portion thereof, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such
condemnation upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default. If Beneficiary elects not to participate in such condemnation
proceeding, then Grantor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such
proceeding and shall consult with Beneficiary, its attorneys and experts and
cooperate with them in any defense of any such proceedings. All awards and
proceeds of condemnation shall be applied in the same manner as insurance
proceeds, and to the extent such awards and proceeds exceed $1,000,000 and no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such awards and proceeds
shall be assigned to Beneficiary to be applied in the same manner as insurance
proceeds, as provided above in subsec-
16
15
tion 5(f)(iii) above, and Grantor agrees to execute any such assignments of all
such awards as Beneficiary may request.
10. Restoration. If Beneficiary elects or is required hereunder to
release funds to Grantor for restoration of any of the Trust Property, then such
restoration shall be performed in accordance with such conditions as Beneficiary
shall impose in its reason able discretion, and as are customarily imposed by
constriction lenders.
11. Leases. (a) Grantor shall not (i) execute an assignment or
pledge of any Lease relating to all or any portion of the Trust Property other
than in favor of Beneficiary, or (ii) without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
execute or permit to exist any Lease of any of the Trust Property, except for
Permitted Exceptions and except is may be otherwise expressly permitted under
the Credit Agreement.
(b) As to any Lease consented to by Beneficiary under subsection
11(a) above, Grantor shall:
(i) promptly perform in all material respects all of the
provisions of the Lease on the part of the lessor thereunder to be
performed;
(ii) promptly enforce all of the material provisions of the
Lease on the part of the lessee thereunder to be performed;
(iii) appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising
under or in any manner connected with the Lease or the obligations of
Grantor as lessor or of the lessee thereunder;
(iv) exercise, within 5 business days after a reasonable
request by Beneficiary, any right to request from the lessee a certificate
with respect to the status thereof;
(v) promptly deliver to Beneficiary copies of any notices of
default which Grantor may at any time forward to or receive from the
lessee;
(vi) promptly deliver to Beneficiary a fully executed
counterpart of the Lease; and
(vii) promptly deliver to Beneficiary, upon Beneficiary's
reasonable request, if permitted under such Lease, an assignment of the
Grantor's interest under such Lease.
17
16
(c) Grantor shall deliver to Beneficiary, within 10 business days
after a reasonable request by Beneficiary, a written statement, certified by
Grantor as being true, correct and complete, containing the names of all lessees
and, other occupants of the Trust Property, the terms of all Leases and the
spaces occupied and rentals payable thereunder, and a list of all Leases which
are then in default, including the nature and magnitude of the default; such
statement shall be accompanied by such other information as Beneficiary may
reasonably request.
(d) All Leases entered into by Grantor after the date hereof, if
any, and all rights of any lessees thereunder shall be subject and subordinate
in all respects to the lien and provisions of this Deed of Trust unless
Beneficiary shall otherwise elect in writing.
(e) In the event of the enforcement by Beneficiary of any remedy
under this Deed of Trust, the lessee under each Lease shall, if requested by
Beneficiary or any other person succeeding to the interest of Beneficiary as a
result of such enforcement, and if provided, at such lessee's request, with a
nondisturbance agreement from Beneficiary or such person, attorn to Beneficiary
or to such person and shall recognize Beneficiary or such successor in interest
as lessor under the Lease without change in the provisions thereof, provided
however, that Beneficiary or such successor in interest shall not be: (i) bound
by any payment of an installment of rent or additional rent which may have been
made more than 30 days before the due date of such installment; (ii) bound by
any amendment or modification to the Lease made without the consent of
Beneficiary or such successor in interest; (iii) liable for any previous act or
omission of Grantor (or its predecessors in interest); (iv) responsible for any
monies owing by Grantor to the credit of such lessee or subject to any credits,
offsets, claims, counter claims, demands or defenses which the lessee may have
against Grantor (or its predecessors in interest); (v) bound by any covenant to
undertake or complete any construction of the Premises or any portion thereof;
or (vi) obligated to make any payment to such lessee other than any security
deposit actually delivered to Beneficiary or such successor in interest. Each
lessee or other occupant, upon request by Beneficiary or such successor in
interest, shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming
such attornment. In addition, Grantor agrees that each Lease entered into after
the date of this Deed of Trust shall include language to the effect of
subsections (d)-(e) of this Section and language to the effect that if any act
or omission of Grantor would give any lessee under such Lease the right,
immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate such
Lease, or to xxxxx or offset against the payment of rent or to claim a partial
or total eviction, such lessee shall not exercise such right until it has given
written notice of such act or omission to Beneficiary and until a reasonable
period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the
giving of such notice without a remedy being effected; provided that the
provisions of such subsections shall be self-operative and any failure of any
Lease to include such lan-
18
17
guage shall not impair the binding effect of such provisions on any lessee under
such Lease.
12. Further Assurances/Estoppel Certificates. To further assure
Beneficiary's and Trustee's rights under this Deed of Trust, Grantor agrees upon
demand of Beneficiary or Trustee to do any act or execute any additional
documents (including, but not limited to, security agreements on any personalty
included or to be included in the Trust Property and a separate assignment of
each Lease in recordable form) as may be reasonably required by Beneficiary or
Trustee to confirm the rights or benefits conferred on Beneficiary or Trustee by
this Deed of Trust.
13. Beneficiary's Right to Perform. If Grantor fails to perform any
of the covenants or agreements of Grantor, Beneficiary or Trustee, without
waiving or releasing Grantor from any obligation or default under this Deed of
Trust, may, at any time (but shall be under no obligation to) pay or perform the
same, and the amount or cost thereof, with interest at the Default Rate, shall
immediately be due from Grantor to Beneficiary or Trustee (as the case may be)
and the same shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be an encumbrance
on the Trust Property prior to any right, title to, interest in or claim upon
the Trust Property attaching subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust. No
payment or advance of money by Beneficiary or Trustee under this Section shall
be deemed or construed to cure Grantor's default or waive any right or remedy of
Beneficiary or Trustee.
14. Events of Default. The occurrence of an Event of Default under
the Credit Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
15. Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, in
addition to any other rights and remedies Beneficiary may have pursuant to the
Loan Documents, or as provided by law, and without limitation, the Indebtedness
and all other amounts payable with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit,
the Credit Agreement, this Deed of Trust and the other Security Documents shall
become due and payable as provided in the Credit Agreement. Except as expressly
provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other
notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived. In addition, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary may immediately take such
action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce
its rights against Grantor and in and to the Trust Property, including, but not
limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such manner as Beneficiary may deter mine, in its
sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and
remedies of Beneficiary:
19
18
(i) Enter upon and take possession of the Trust Property or
any part thereof, with or without legal action, and do any acts which it
deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value, marketability or
rentability of the Trust Property, or any part thereof or the value of
this Deed of Trust (including, without limitation, entering into new
leases of all or any part of the Trust Property) and, with or without
taking possession of the Trust Property, xxx for or otherwise collect the
rents, issues and profits thereof, including those past due and unpaid,
and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection
including reasonable attorneys' fees, upon the Indebtedness, all in such
order as Beneficiary may deter mine. The entering upon and taking
possession of the Trust Property, the collection of such rents, issues and
profits and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive
any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done in
response to such default or pursuant to such notice of default and,
notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Trust Property or the
collection, receipt and application of rents, issues or profits,
Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in any
of the Loan Documents or by law.
(ii) Bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to
foreclose this Deed of Trust or to enforce any of the covenants, terms or
conditions hereof and Beneficiary shall have the right to specific
performance, injunction and any other equitable night or remedy as though
other remedies were not provided in this Deed of Trust.
(iii) Elect to cause the Trust Property or any part thereof to
be sold as follows, Grantor hereby expressly waiving any right which it
may have to direct the order in which any of the Trust Property may be
sold:
(a) Beneficiary may proceed as if all of the Trust
Property were real property, in accordance with subparagraph
(c) below, or Beneficiary may elect to treat any of the Trust
Property which consists of personal property, in accordance
with the Section of this Deed of Trust entitled "Security
Agreement Under Uniform Commercial Code", separate and apart
from the sale of real property, the remainder of the Trust
Property being treated as real property;
(b) Beneficiary may cause any such sale or other
disposition to be conducted immediately following the
expiration of any grace period, if any, herein provided or
Beneficiary may delay any such sale or other disposition for
such period of time as Beneficiary deems to be in its best
interest. Should Beneficiary desire that more than one such
sale or other disposition be conducted, Beneficiary may, at
its option, cause the same to be conducted simul-
20
19
taneously, or successively on the same day, or at such
different days or times and in such order as Beneficiary may
deem to be in its best interest;
(c) Should Beneficiary elect to sell the Trust Property
upon which Beneficiary elects to proceed under the laws
governing foreclosure of or sales pursuant to Deeds of Trust,
Beneficiary or Trustee shall give such notice of default and
election to sell as may then be required by law. Thereafter,
upon the expiration of such time and the giving of such notice
of sale as may then be required by law, Trustee, at the time
and place specified by the notice of sale, shall sell such
Trust Property, or any portion thereof specified by
Beneficiary, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash
in lawful money of the United States, subject, however, to the
provisions of the Section of this Deed of Trust entitled
"Right of Beneficiary to Credit Sale". Trustee may, and upon
request of Beneficiary shall, from time to time, postpone the
sale by public announcement thereof at the time and place
noticed therefor. If the Trust Property consists of several
lots or parcels, Beneficiary may elect to sell the Trust
Property either as a whole or in separate lots or parcels. If
Beneficiary elects to sell in separate lots or parcels,
Beneficiary may designate the order in which such lots or
parcels shall be offered for sale or sold. Any person,
including Grantor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at the
sale. Upon any sale, Trustee shall execute and deliver to the
purchaser or purchasers a deed or deeds conveying the property
so sold, but without any covenant or warranty whatsoever,
express or implied, whereupon such purchaser or purchasers
shall be let into immediate possession;
(d) In the event of a sale or other disposition of any
such property, or any part thereof, and the execution of a
deed or other conveyance pursuant thereto, the recitals
therein of facts, such as an Event of Default, the giving of
notice of default and notice of sale, demand that such sale
should be made, postponement of sale, terms of sale, sale,
purchase, payments of purchase money, and any other fact
affecting the regularity or validity of such sale or
disposition shall be conclusive proof of the truth of such
facts; and any such deed or conveyance shall be conclusive
against all persons as to such facts recited therein;
(e) Beneficiary and/or Trustee shall apply the proceeds
of any sale or disposition hereunder in the order as provided
in the Section of this Deed of Trust entitled "Sale of the
Properties: Application of Proceeds"; and
(iv) Exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein,
in the other Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or equity
21
20
16. Sale of the Properties; Application of Proceeds. (a) Subject to
the requirements of applicable law, the proceeds or avails of any foreclosure
sale and all moneys received by Beneficiary pursuant to any right given or
action taken under the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall be applied as
follows:
First: To the payment of the costs and expenses of any such sale or
other enforcement proceedings in accordance with the terms hereof and of
any judicial proceeding wherein the same may be made, and in addition
thereto, reasonable compensation to Beneficiary, its agents and counsel,
and all actual out of pocket expenses, advances, liabilities and sums made
or furnished or incurred by Beneficiary or the holder of this Deed of
Trust under this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, together with
interest at the Default Rate (or such lesser amount as may be the maximum
amount permitted by law), and all taxes, assessments or other charges,
except any taxes, assessments or other charges subject to which the Trust
Property shall have been sold;
Second: To the payment of the aggregate amount when due, owing and
unpaid (whether by acceleration or otherwise) upon the Indebtedness for
principal and interest; and in case such proceeds shall be insufficient to
pay in full the whole aggregate amount so due and unpaid, then first, to
the payment of all amounts of interest at the time due and payable on the
Indebtedness, without preference or priority of any installment of
interest over any other installment of interest, and with payment of
interest on the Notes and other instruments evidencing the Indebtedness
being applied pro rata based on the amount of interest then due pursuant
to the Notes, the Credit Agreement and other instrument evidencing the
Indebtedness, and second, to the payment of all amounts of principal,
with payment of principal due under the Notes, the Credit Agreement and
other instruments evidencing the Indebtedness being applied pro rata based
on the amount of principal due under the Notes, the Credit Agreement and
other instrument evidencing the Indebtedness; all such payments of
principal and interest to be made ratably to the holders entitled thereto.
Third: To the payment of any other sums required to be paid by
Grantor pursuant to any provision of this Deed of Trust, or any other Loan
Document.
Fourth: To the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same.
17. Trustee's Powers and Liabilities.
(a) Powers of Trustee. At any time or from time to time, without
liability therefor and without notice, upon the written request of Beneficiary
and presentation of
22
21
the Notes and the other instruments evidencing the indebtedness and this Deed of
Trust for endorsement, without affecting the personal liability of any person
for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and without affecting the
lien of this Deed of Trust upon the Trust Property for the full amount of all
amounts secured hereby, Trustee may (i) reconvey all or any part of the Trust
Property, (ii) consent to the making of any map or plat thereof, (iii) join in
granting any easement thereon or in creating any covenants or conditions
restricting use or occupancy thereof, or (iv) join in any extension agreement
or in any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.

all sums secured hereby have been paid, and upon surrender of this Deed of Trust
and the Notes and the other instruments evidencing the Indebtedness to Trustee
for cancellation and retention, and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall
reconvey, without warranty, the property then held hereunder. The recitals in
any such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the
truth thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as "the person
or persons legally entitled thereto."
(c) Trustee Notice. Trustee is not obligated to notify any party
hereto of any pending sale under any other deed of trust or of any action or
proceeding in which Grantor, Beneficiary or Trustee shall be a party, unless
brought by Trustee.
(d) Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee. Trustee shall be
entitled to reasonable compensation for all services rendered or expenses
incurred in the administration or execution of the trusts hereby created and
Grantor hereby agrees to pay the same. Trustee shall be indemnified, held
harmless and reimbursed by Grantor for any liability, damage or expense,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts paid in settlement, which
Trustee may incur or sustain in connection with this Deed of Trust or in the
doing of any act which Trustee is required or permitted to do by the terms
hereof or by law.
(e) Substitute Trustees. Beneficiary may substitute the Trustee
hereunder in any manner now or hereafter provided by law, or in lieu thereof,
Beneficiary may from time to time, by an instrument in writing, substitute a
successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, which
instrument, executed, and acknowledged by Beneficiary and recorded in the
office of the recorder of the county or counties where the Trust Property is
situated, shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor
Trustee or Trustees, who shall thereupon, and without conveyance from the
predecessor Trustee, succeed to all its title, estate, rights, powers and
duties. Such instrument must contain the name of the original Grantor, Trustee
and Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page where this Deed of Trust is
recorded, the legal description of the Land and the name and address of the new
Trustee.
23
22
(f) Acceptance by Trustee. The acceptance by Trustee of this trust
shall be evidenced when this Deed of Trust, duly executed and acknowledged, is
made a public record as provided by law.
(g) Trust Irrevocable; No Offset. The trust created hereby is
irrevocable by Grantor. No offset or claim that Grantor now or may in the future
have against Beneficiary shall relieve Grantor from paying installments or
performing any other obligation herein or secured hereby.
(h) Corrections. Grantor will, upon request of Beneficiary or
Trustee, promptly correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered
in the contents of this Deed of Trust or in the execution or acknowledgment
hereof, and will execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and
do such further acts as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested by
Beneficiary or Trustee to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Deed
of Trust, to subject to the lien and security interests hereby created any of
Grantor's properties, rights or interest covered or intended to be covered
hereby, and to perfect and maintain such lien and security interest.
18. Request for Notice. In accordance with California Civil Code
Section 2924b, a request is hereby made by Grantor that a copy of any notice of
default and a copy of any notice of sale under this Deed of Trust be mailed to
Grantor at Grantor's address set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of
Trust.
19. Successor Grantor. In the event ownership of the Trust Property
or any portion thereof becomes vested in a person other than the Grantor herein
named, Beneficiary may, without notice to the Grantor herein named. whether or
not Beneficiary has given written consent to such change in ownership, deal with
such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Deed of Trust
and the Indebtedness and the Obligations, and in the same manner as with the
Grantor herein named, without in any way vitiating or discharging Grantor's
liabilities hereunder or under the Indebtedness and the Obligations.
20. Right of Beneficiary to Credit Sale. Upon the occurrence of any
sale made under this Deed of Trust, whether made under the power of sale 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. In lieu of paying cash therefor, Beneficiary may make settlement for
the purchase price by crediting upon the Indebtedness or other sums secured by
this Deed of Trust the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of
sale and the cost of the action and any other sums which Beneficiary is
authorized to deduct under this Deed of Trust. In such event, this Deed of
Trust, the Notes and other instruments evidencing the Indebtedness and any
24
23
and all documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the
person or persons conducting the sale in order that the amount so used or
applied may be credited upon the Indebtedness as having been paid.
21. Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary as a matter of right and without notice
to Grantor, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and without regard to
the adequacy or inadequacy of the Trust Property or any other collateral as
security for the Indebtedness and Obligations or the interest of Grantor
therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to
appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Trust Property, without
requiring the posting of a surety bond and without reference to the adequacy or
inadequacy of the value of the Trust Property or the solvency or insolvency of
Grantor or any other party obligated for payment of all or any part of the
Indebtedness, and whether or not waste has occurred with respect to the Trust
Property. Grantor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives
notice of any application therefor (except as may be required by law). Any such
receiver or receivers or other manager shall have all the usual powers and
duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of
Beneficiary in case of entry as provided in this Deed of Trust, including,
without limitation and to the extent permitted by law, the right to enter into
leases of all or any part of the Trust Property, and shall continue as such and
exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Trust
Property unless such receivership is sooner terminated.
22. Extension, Release, etc. (a) Without affecting the encumbrance
or charge of this Deed of Trust upon any portion of the Trust Property not then
or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Indebtedness,
Beneficiary may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any
person liable for the Indebtedness, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the
terms of the Indebtedness or any guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other
indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at
any time at Beneficiary's option any parcel, portion or all of the Trust
Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any
obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements
with debtors in relation thereto. If at any time this Deed of Trust shall secure
less than all of the principal amount of the Indebtedness, it is expressly
agreed that any repayments of the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall not
reduce the amount of the encumbrance of this Deed of Trust until the encumbrance
amount shall equal the principal amount of the Indebtedness outstanding.
(b) 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 Grantor shall affect the encumbrance of this Deed of Trust or any liens,
rights, powers or
25
24
remedies of Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and
remedies shall continue unimpaired.
(c) If Beneficiary shall have the right to foreclose this Deed of
Trust or to direct the Trustee to exercise its power of sale, Grantor authorizes
Beneficiary at its option to foreclose the lien of this Deed of Trust (or direct
the Trustee to sell the Trust Property, as the case may be) subject to the
rights of any tenants of the Trust Property. The failure to make any such
tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose
their rights, or to provide notice to such tenants as required in any statutory
procedure governing a sale of the Trust Property by Trustee, or to terminate
such tenant's rights in such sale will not be asserted by Grantor as a defense
to any proceeding instituted by Beneficiary to collect the Indebtedness or to
foreclose this Deed of Trust.
(d) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that
Beneficiary's interest in this Deed of Trust and title to the Trust Property or
any estate therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Deed
of Trust shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid charge on
the Trust Property for the amount secured hereby.
23. Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code. (a) It is the
intention of the parties hereto that this Deed of Trust shall constitute a
Security Agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the
"Code") of the State in which the Trust Property is located, and Grantor hereby
grants a security interest in all of the personal property of Grantor described
in the Granting Clauses of this Deed of Trust. If an Event of Default shall
occur under this Deed of Trust, then in addition to having any other night or
remedy available at law or in equity, Beneficiary shall have the option of
either (i) proceeding under the Code and exercising such rights and remedies as
may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all or any
portion of the Trust Property which is personal property (including, without
limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treating
such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and
personal property constituting the Trust Property in accordance with
Beneficiary's rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in
which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply). If Beneficiary
shall elect to proceed under the Code, then five days' notice of sale of the
personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses
of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by
Beneficiary shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and
legal expenses. At Beneficiary's request, during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Grantor shall assemble the personal property and make it available to
Beneficiary at a place designated by Beneficiary which is reasonably convenient
to both parties.
26
25
(b) Grantor and Beneficiary agree, to the extent permitted by law,
that: (i) all of the goods described within the definition of the word
"Equipment" are or are to become fixtures on the Real Estate; (ii) this Deed of
Trust upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper
office shall constitute a financing statement filed as a "fixture filing"
within the meaning of Sections 9-313 and 9-402 of the Code; (iii) Grantor is the
record owner of the Real Estate, and (iv) the addresses of Grantor and
Beneficiary are as set forth on the first page of this Deed of Trust.
(c) Grantor, upon request by Beneficiary from time to time, shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Beneficiary one or more separate security
agreements, in form satisfactory to Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion,
covering all or any part of the Trust Property and will further execute,
acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered,
any financing statement, affidavit, continuation statement or certificate or
other document as Beneficiary may request in order to perfect, preserve,
maintain, continue or extend the security interest under and the priority of
this Deed of Trust and such security instrument. Grantor further agrees to pay
to Beneficiary on demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
Beneficiary in connection with the preparation, execution, recording, filing and
re-filing of any such document and all reasonable costs and expenses of any
record searches for financing statements Beneficiary shall reasonably require.
If Grantor shall fall to furnish any financing or continuation statement within
10 days after request by Beneficiary, then pursuant to the provisions of the
Code, Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary, without the signature of Grantor,
to execute and file any such financing and continuation statements. The filing
of any financing or continuation statements in the records relating to personal
property or chattels shall not be construed as in any way impairing the right of
Beneficiary to proceed against any personal property encumbered by this Deed of
Trust as real property, as set forth above.
24. Assignment of Rents. Grantor hereby absolutely and
unconditionally assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to Beneficiary, the
Rents as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of
the Obligations, and Grantor grants to Beneficiary the right to enter the Trust
Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Trust Property or
any part thereof and to apply the Rents on account of the Indebtedness. The
foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and shall continue in
effect until the Indebtedness is paid in full, but Beneficiary and Trustee
hereby waive the right to enter the Trust Property for the purpose of collecting
the Rents, letting the Trust Property or any part thereof or applying the Rents
and Grantor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents
until the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust; such right
of Grantor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents may be revoked by
Beneficiary upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Deed of Trust
by giving not less than five days' written notice of such revocation to Grantor;
in the event such notice is
27
26
given, Grantor shall pay over to Beneficiary, or to any receiver appointed to
collect the Rents, any lease security deposits, and shall pay monthly in advance
to Beneficiary, or to any such receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value as
determined by Beneficiary for the use and occupancy of the Trust Property or of
such part thereof as may be in the possession of Grantor or any affiliate of
Grantor, and upon default in any such payment Grantor and any such affiliate
will vacate and surrender the possession of the Trust Property to Beneficiary or
to such receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings
or otherwise. Grantor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to
become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security
deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any).
25. Trust Funds. All lease security deposits of the Real Estate
shall be treated as trust funds not to be commingled with any other funds of
Grantor. Within 10 days after request by Beneficiary, Grantor shall furnish
Beneficiary satisfactory evidence of compliance with this subsection, together
with a statement of all lease security deposits by lessees and copies of all
Leases not previously delivered to Beneficiary under which such security
deposits are held, which statement shall be certified by Grantor.
26. Additional Rights. The holder of any subordinate lien or
subordinate deed of trust on the Trust Property shall have no right to terminate
any Lease whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Deed of Trust nor
shall any holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate deed of trust join any
tenant under any Lease in any trustee's sale or action to foreclose the lien or
modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant under any
Lease. By recordation of this Deed of Trust all subordinate lienholders and the
trustees and beneficiaries under subordinate deeds of trust are subject to and
notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such lienholder or
trustee or beneficiary contrary to this provision shall be null and void. Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary may, in its sole discretion
and without regard to the adequacy of its security under this Deed of Trust,
apply all or any part of any amounts on deposit with Beneficiary under this Deed
of Trust against all or any part of the Indebtedness. Any such application shall
not be construed to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate
any act taken by Beneficiary on account of such Default or Event of Default.
27. Changes in Method of Taxation. In the event of the passage after
the date hereof of any law of any Governmental Authority deducting from the
value of the Premises for the purposes of taxation any lien or deed of trust
thereon, or changing in any way the laws for the taxation of mortgages or deeds
of trust or debts secured there by for federal, state or local purposes, or the
manner of collection of any such taxes, and imposing a tax, either directly or
indirectly, on mortgages or deeds of trust or debts secured thereby, the holder
of this Deed of Trust shall have the right to declare the Indebtedness due on a
date to be specified by not less than 30 days' written notice to be
28
27
given to Grantor unless within such 30-day period Grantor shall assume as an
Obligation hereunder the payment of any tax so imposed until full payment of
the Indebtedness and such assumption shall be permitted by law.
28. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
here under shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served when served
in the same manner as set forth for notices in the Credit Agreement. The
Trustee's address for notices shall be the Trustee's address given on the first
page of this Deed of Trust.
29. No Oral Modification. This Deed of Trust may not be changed or
terminated orally. Any agreement made by Grantor and Beneficiary after the date
of this Deed of Trust relating to this Deed of Trust shall be superior to the
rights of the holder of any Intervening or subordinate deed of trust, lien or
encumbrance. Trustee's execution of any written agreement between Grantor and
Beneficiary shall not be required for the effectiveness thereof as between
Grantor and Beneficiary.
30. Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Deed of Trust shall for any reason be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall
be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never
been included. Notwithstanding to the contrary anything contained in this Deed
of Trust or in any provisions of the Indebtedness or Loan Documents, the
obligations of Grantor and of any other obligor under the Indebtedness or Loan
Documents shall be subject to the limitation that Beneficiary shall not charge,
take or receive, nor shall Grantor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to
Beneficiary, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by law to be charged by Beneficiary.
31. Grantor's Waiver of Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, Grantor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that may
subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of any
portion of the Trust Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the
enforcement of the collection of the Indebtedness or the creation or extension
of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (iii)
exemption of the Trust Property from attachment, levy or sale under execution or
exemption from civil process. To the full extent Grantor may do so, Grantor
agrees that Grantor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the
benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any
appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust before exercising any other remedy granted
hereunder and Grantor, for Grantor and its successors and assigns, and for any
and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Trust Property, to the extent
permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption,
evaluation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of
29
28
election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and
marshalling in the event of exercise by Trustee or Beneficiary of the power of
sale or other rights hereby created.
32. Remedies Not Exclusive. Beneficiary and Trustee shall be
entitled to enforce payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the
Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Deed of Trust or
under any of the other Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or
hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the Indebtedness and
Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed of trust,
mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither
the acceptance of this Deed of Trust nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in
any manner affect Beneficiary's or Trustee's right to realize upon or enforce
any other security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary or Trustee, it being
agreed that Beneficiary and Trustee shall be entitled to enforce this Deed of
Trust and any other security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary or Trustee in
such order and manner as Beneficiary may determine in its absolute discretion.
No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Beneficiary is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or
permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Beneficiary
or Trustee or to which either may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised,
concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient by Beneficiary or Trustee, as the case may be. In no event shall
Beneficiary or Trustee, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Deed of
Trust (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of
Rents, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all
or any part of the Trust Property), be deemed a "mortgagee in possession," and
neither Beneficiary nor Trustee shall in any way be made liable for any act,
either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such
remedies.
33. Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one or
more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the same
county, or (b) in addition to this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall now or
hereafter hold or be the beneficiary of one or more additional mortgages, liens,
deeds of trust or other security (directly or indirectly) for the Indebtedness
upon other property in the State in which the Premises are located (whether or
not such property is owned by Grantor or by others) or (c) both the
circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the
fullest extent permitted by law, Beneficiary may, at its election, commence or
consolidate in a single trustee's sale or foreclosure action all trustee's sale
or fore closure proceedings against all such collateral securing the
Indebtedness (including the Trust Property), which action may be brought or
consolidated in the courts of, or sale conducted in, any county in which any of
such collateral is located. Grantor acknowl-
30
29
edges that the right to maintain a consolidated trustee's sale or foreclosure
action is a specific inducement to Beneficiary to extend the Indebtedness, and
Grantor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or
consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any
objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non-
conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Grantor further agrees that if
Trustee or Beneficiary shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other
proceedings against a portion of the Trust Property or against any collateral
other than the Trust Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures
the Indebtedness, or if Beneficiary shall have obtained a judgment of
foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral (or, in the
case of a trustee's sale, shall have met the statutory requirements therefor
with respect to such collateral), then, whether or not such proceedings are
being maintained or judgments were obtained in or outside the State in which the
Premises are located, Beneficiary may commence or continue any trustee's sale or
foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this Deed of
Trust against all or any part of the Trust Property and Grantor waives any
objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Deed of
Trust or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other
proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove,
transfer or consolidate either any action under this Deed of Trust or such other
proceedings on such basis. The commencement or continuation of proceedings to
sell the Trust Property in a trustee's sale, to foreclose this Deed of Trust or
the exercise of any other rights hereunder or the recovery of any judgment by
Beneficiary or the occurrence of any sale by the Trustee in any such proceedings
shall not prejudice, limit or preclude Beneficiary's right to commence or
continue one or more trustee's sales, foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain
a judgment against (or, in the case of a trustee's sale, to meet the statutory
requirements for, any such sale of) any other collateral (either in or outside
the State in which the Real Estate is located) which directly or indirectly
secures the Indebtedness, and Grantor expressly waives any objections to the
commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other sales or
proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such sales or proceedings based upon
any action or judgment connected to this Deed of Trust, and Grantor also waives
any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either such
other sales or proceedings or any sale or action under this Deed of Trust on
such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent
permitted by law, Beneficiary may, at its election, cause the sale of all
collateral which is the subject of a single trustee's sale or foreclosure action
at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take
such other measures as are appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the
parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Indebtedness
(directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner.
31
30
34. Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Grantor contained in
this Deed of Trust are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of
Beneficiary and Trustee and their respective successors and assigns, and no
other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such
covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such
covenants, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by
Beneficiary or Trustee at any time if in the sole discretion of either of them
such waiver is deemed advisable. All such covenants of Grantor shall run with
the land and bind Grantor, the successors and assigns of Grantor (and each of
them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the Trust
Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Beneficiary, Trustee and their
respective successors and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any successor to Trustee appointed by Beneficiary shall succeed to
all rights of Trustee as if such successor had been originally named as Trustee
hereunder. The word "Grantor" shall be construed as if it read "Grantors"
whenever the sense of this Deed of Trust so requires and if there shall be more
than one Grantor, the obligations of the Grantors shall be joint and several.
35. No Waivers etc. Any failure by Beneficiary to insist upon the
strict performance by Grantor of any of the terms and provisions of this Deed of
Trust shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions
hereof, and Beneficiary or Trustee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall
have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Grantor of
any and all of the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust to be performed by
Grantor. Beneficiary may release, regardless of consideration and without the
necessity for any notice to or consent by the beneficiary of any subordinate
deed of trust or the holder of any subordinate lien on the Trust Property, any
part of the security held for the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust
without, as to the remainder of the security, in anywise impairing or affecting
this Deed of Trust or the priority of this Deed of Trust over any subordinate
lien or deed of trust.
36. Governing Law, etc. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Premises are
located, except that Grantor expressly acknowledges that by its terms the Credit
Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of law, and for
purposes of consistency, Grantor agrees that in any in personam proceeding
related to this Deed of Trust the rights of the parties to this Deed of Trust
shall also be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York governing contracts made and to be performed in that State, without
regard to principles of conflict of law.
32
31
37. Waiver of Trial by Jury. Grantor, Trustee and Beneficiary each
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive trial by jury in any action, claim,
suit or proceeding relating to this Deed of Trust and for any counterclaim
brought therein.
38. Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a
contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in
this Deed of Trust shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and
the word "Grantor" shall mean "each Grantor or any subsequent owner or owners of
the Trust Property or any part thereof or interest therein," the word
"Beneficiary" shall mean "Beneficiary or any successor Administrative Agent,"
the word "Trustee" shall mean "Trustee and any successor trustee hereunder," the
word "Notes" shall mean "the notes that may from time to time be given pursuant
to the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other evidence of indebtedness
secured by this Deed of Trust," the word "person" shall include any individual,
corporation, partnership, trust, unincorporated association, government,
governmental authority, or other entity, and the words "Trust Property" shall
include any portion of the Trust Property or interest therein. Whenever the
context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding
masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns
shall include the plural and vice versa. The captions in this Deed of Trust are
for convenience or reference only and in no way limit or amplify the provisions
hereof.
39. Reconveyance of Deed of Trust. Upon payment in full of the
Indebtedness, the termination of all Commitments under the Credit Agreement
secured hereby and the compliance with the Obligations then required to be
complied with, Beneficiary shall release the encumbrance of this Deed of Trust.
If any of the Trust Property shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of
by Grantor n a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, then
Beneficiary shall execute and deliver, and shall cause Trustee to execute and
deliver to Grantor (at the sole cost and expense of Grantor) all releases,
reconveyances or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the
release of such Trust Property from the encumbrance of this Deed of Trust.
40. Conflict with Credit Amendment. In the event of any conflict or
inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust and the
terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the terms and provisions of the
Credit Agreement shall govern, other than with respect to the Section of this
Deed of Trust captioned "Governing Law, etc.". By their execution of the Credit
Agreement, each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not have the right to
institute any suit for enforcement of Notes or any other Indebtedness secured by
this Deed of Trust or any other Security Document, if and to the extent that the
institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under
applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien
of this Deed of Trust or any other Security Document or
33
32
impede or delay the enforcement of the Lien of this Deed of Trust or any other
Security Document.
41. Receipt of Copy. Grantor acknowledges that it has received a
true copy of this Deed of Trust.
