ARTICLE THREE
REMEDIES
3.1. Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred, Beneficiary may, in accordance with the Indenture, declare the
Notes to be immediately due and payable, without further demand or notice.
3.2. Beneficiary's Power of Enforcement. If an Event of
Default shall have occurred and Beneficiary shall have declared all the Notes
immediately due and payable, Beneficiary may, either with or without entry or
taking possession as provided in this Deed of Trust or otherwise, and without
prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to bring an action of
foreclosure or any other action for any default existing at the time such
earlier action was commenced or arising thereafter, proceed by any appropriate
action or proceeding:
(a) To enforce the obligations of Trustor under the Indenture.
(b) To commence and maintain an action or actions in any court
of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this instrument as a mortgage or to
obtain specific enforcement of the covenants of Trustor hereunder, and Trustor
agrees that such covenants shall be specifically enforceable by injunction or
any other appropriate equitable remedy and that, for the purposes of any suit
brought under this subsection, Trustor waives the defense of laches and any
applicable statute of limitations.
(c) To apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for and
obtain appointment of a receiver of the Property as a matter of strict right and
without regard to the adequacy of the security for the repayment of Guarantor's
Liabilities, the existence of a declaration that the Notes are immediately due
and payable, or the filing of a notice of default, and Trustor hereby consents
to such appointment.
(d) To execute a written notice of such Event of Default and
of Beneficiary's election to cause the Property to be sold to satisfy
Guarantor's Liabilities. As a condition precedent to any such sale, Trustee
shall give and record such notice of default as the law then requires. When the
minimum period of time required by law after the recordation of such notice of
default has elapsed, and notice of sale having been given as then required by
law, shall sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in the
notice of sale, at one or several sales, either as a whole or in separate
parcels and in such manner and order, all as Beneficiary in its sole discretion
may determine, at public auction and to the highest bidder for cash, in lawful
money of the United States, payable at the time of sale. Neither Trustor nor any
other person or entity other than Beneficiary shall have the right to direct the
order in which the Property is sold. Subject to requirements and limits imposed
by law, Trustee may from time to time postpone the sale of all or any portion of
the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, Trustee
shall deliver to the purchaser at such sale a deed conveying the Property or
portion thereof so sold,
-10-
but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in the
deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness
thereof. Any person, including Trustee, Trustor or Beneficiary may purchase at
the sale.
(e) To resort to and realize upon the security hereunder and any
other security now or later held by Beneficiary concurrently or successively and
in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken
non-judicial proceedings, or both, and to apply the proceeds received upon
Guarantor's Liabilities all in such order and manner as Trustee and Beneficiary,
or either of them, determine in their sole discretion.
At any sale of the Property held pursuant to subsection (b) or subsection (d)
above, Beneficiary may bid, as the equivalent of cash, the amount of all or any
portion of Guarantor's Liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees. Beneficiary may take action either by such proceedings or by
the exercise of its powers with respect to entry or taking possession, or both,
as Beneficiary may determine.
3.3. Trustee's Sale. Should Beneficiary elect to foreclose by
exercise of the power of sale contained herein, Beneficiary shall notify Trustee
and shall, if required, deposit with Trustee the Notes, the original or a
certified copy of this Deed of Trust, and such other documents, receipts and
evidences of expenditures made and secured hereby as Trustee may require.
(a) Upon receipt of such notice from Beneficiary, Trustee shall
cause to be recorded and delivered to Trustor such notice of default as may then
be required by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on
Trustor, after lapse of such time as may then be required by law and after
recordation of such notice of default and after notice of sale has been given as
required by law, sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in
said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate lots or parcels or items
as Trustee shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at
public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United
State payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser or
purchasers at such sale its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the
property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The
recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the
truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without limitation, Trustor,
Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale, and Trustor hereby covenants
to warrant and defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers.
(b) Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any portion of the
Property from time to time in accordance with the laws of the State in which the
Land is located.
-11-
(c) To the fullest extent allowed by law, Trustor hereby expressly
waives any right which it may have to direct the order in which any of the
Property shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant to this Deed
of Trust.
3.4. Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds. After deducting all
costs, fees and expenses of Trustee, and of this trust, including, without
limitation, cost of evidence of title and reasonable attorneys' fees in
connection with the sale, Trustee shall apply all proceeds of any foreclosure
sale: (i) to payment of all sums reasonably expended by Beneficiary; (ii) to
payment of all other Guarantor's Liabilities; and (iii) the remainder, if any,
to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
3.5. Application of Other Sums. All sums received by Beneficiary
under this Deed of Trust other than the sums referred to in Section 3.3, less
all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Beneficiary or any receiver under
this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, shall be
applied in payment of Guarantor's Liabilities, in such order as Beneficiary
shall elect and, in the absence of such election, first to all costs and
expenses incurred by Beneficiary, Trustee or any receiver under this Deed of
Trust, including the expenses of sale, then to expenses (including attorneys'
fees) of the foreclosure proceeding, then to other liabilities; provided,
however, Beneficiary shall have no liability for funds not actually received by
Beneficiary. If any sums received by Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust other
than the sums referred to in Section 3.3 shall be remaining after Guarantor's
Liabilities are paid in full, such sums remaining shall be paid to Trustor.
3.6. No Cure or Waiver. Neither Beneficiary's, nor Trustee's, nor
any receiver's entry upon and taking possession of all or any part of the
Property, nor any collection of rents, issues, profits, insurance proceeds,
condemnation proceeds or damages, other security or proceeds of other security,
or other sums, nor the application of any collected sum to any of Guarantor's
Liabilities, nor the exercise or failure to exercise of any other right or
remedy by Beneficiary or Trustee or any receiver shall cure or waive any breach,
Event of Default or notice of default under this Deed of Trust, or nullify the
effect of any notice of default or sale (unless all of Guarantor's Liabilities
then due have been paid and performed and Trustor has cured all other defaults),
or impair the status of the security, or prejudice Beneficiary or Trustee in the
exercise of any right or remedy, or be construed as an affirmation by
Beneficiary of any tenancy, lease or option or a subordination of the lien of
this Deed of Trust.
3.7. Payment of Costs, Expenses and Attorneys' Fees. Trustor agrees
to pay to Beneficiary immediately all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
Trustee and Beneficiary in connection with the exercise of rights under this
Article III (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees,
whether incurred in litigation or not). In addition, Trustor shall pay to
Trustee all Trustee's fees hereunder and shall reimburse Trustee for all
expenses incurred in the administration of this trust, including, without
limitation, any attorneys' fees.
-12-
3.8. Power to File Notice and Cure Defaults. Trustor hereby
irrevocably appoints Beneficiary and its successors and assigns, as its
attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest (a) to execute and/or
record any notices of completion, cessation of labor, or any other notices that
Beneficiary deems appropriate to protect Beneficiary's interest, (b) upon the
issuance of a deed pursuant to the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the
delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, to execute all instruments of
assignment or further assurance with respect to the Leases and Rents in favor of
the grantee of any such deed, as Beneficiary may deem reasonably necessary or
desirable for such purpose, (c) to prepare, execute and file or record financing
statements, continuation statements, applications for registration and like
papers necessary to create, perfect or preserve Beneficiary's security interests
and rights, and (d) upon the occurrence of an event, act or omission which, with
notice or passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default,
Beneficiary may perform any obligation of Trustor hereunder; provided, however,
that: (i) Beneficiary as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for
such funds as are actually received by Beneficiary; and (ii) Beneficiary shall
not be liable to Trustee or any other person or entity for any failure to act
under this Section.
3.9. Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and
Apply Income.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred, Trustor, upon demand
of Beneficiary, shall forthwith surrender to Beneficiary the actual possession
of the Property, and to the extent permitted by law, Beneficiary itself, or by
such officers or Beneficiarys as it may appoint, is hereby expressly authorized,
without becoming a mortgagee in possession, to enter and take possession of all
or any portion of the Property, and to manage, operate, protect and exercise any
other rights of an occupant of the Property, and Beneficiary may exclude Trustor
and the Beneficiarys and employees of Trustor wholly therefrom.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and if Trustor shall
for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Property or any part thereof
after Beneficiary's demand, Beneficiary may obtain a judgment or decree
conferring on Beneficiary the right to immediate possession or requiring Trustor
to deliver immediate possession of all or part of the Property to Beneficiary,
to the entry of which judgment or decree Trustor hereby specifically consents.
Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary, upon demand, all costs and expenses of
obtaining such judgment or decree and reasonable compensation to Beneficiary,
its attorneys and Beneficiarys, and all such costs, expenses and compensation
shall, until paid, be secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust.
3.10. Waiver of Marshalling Rights. Trustor, for itself and for all
parties claiming through or under Trustor, and for all parties who may acquire a

Guarantor's Liabilities (the "Other Property") marshaled
-13-
upon any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or on a foreclosure of any other
security for any of Guarantor's Liabilities. Beneficiary shall have the right to
sell, and any court in which foreclosure proceedings may be brought shall have
the right to order a sale of, the Property and any or all of the Other Property
as a whole or in separate parcels, in any order that Beneficiary may designate.
3.11. Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon
or reserved to Beneficiary by the Indenture, the Notes, this Deed of Trust or
any other Debt Instrument or any instrument evidencing or securing Guarantor's
Liabilities is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every
such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in
addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or under the the
Notes, the Indenture or any other Debt Instrument or any instrument evidencing
or securing Guarantor's Liabilities, or now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity or by statute.

signed and acknowledged by Beneficiary and recorded in the Office of the
Recorder of the county in which the Property is situated, Beneficiary may
appoint another trustee to act in the place and stead of Trustee or any
successor. Such writing shall set forth any information required by law. The
recordation of such instrument of substitution shall discharge Trustee herein
named
-14-
and shall appoint the new trustee as the trustee hereunder with the same effect
as if originally named Trustee herein. A writing recorded pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 4.2 shall be conclusive proof of the proper
substitution of such new Trustee.
4.3. Heirs, Successors and Assigns Included in Parties. Whenever
Trustor or Beneficiary are named or referred to herein, heirs and successors and
assigns of such person or entity shall be included, and all covenants and

agreements, terms or provisions contained in this Deed of Trust shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remaining
covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained herein (or the application

illegal or unenforceable) shall be in no way affected, prejudiced or disturbed
thereby.

Deed of Trust or a certified copy thereof, Trustee shall reconvey, without
warranty, the Property or that portion thereof then held hereunder. To the
extent permitted by law, the reconveyance may describe the grantee as "the
person or persons legally entitled thereto" and the recitals of any matters or
facts in any reconveyance executed hereunder shall be conclusive proof of the
truthfulness thereof. Neither Beneficiary nor Trustee shall have any duty to
determine the rights of persons claiming to be rightful grantees of any
reconveyance. When the Property has been fully reconveyed, the last of such
reconveyance shall operate as a reassignment of all future rents, issues and
profits of the Property to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

this Deed of Trust and all the provisions hereof.

ARTICLE FIVE
LOCAL PROVISIONS
5.1. Should the Beneficiary elect to sell any portion of the
Property which is real property or which is personal property or fixtures that
Beneficiary has elected under Section 9604(a)(1)(B) of the UCC to sell together
with real property in accordance with the laws governing a sale of real
property, the Beneficiary or the 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, and without the necessity of any demand on the Trustor, the Trustee, at the
time and place specified in the notice of sale, shall sell said real property or
part thereof at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of
the United States. The Trustee may, and upon request of the Beneficiary shall,
from time to time, postpone any sale hereunder by public announcement thereof at
the time and place noticed therefor.
5.2. If the Property consists of several lots, parcels or items of
Property, the Beneficiary may: (i) designate the order in which such lots,
parcels or items shall be offered for sale or sold, or (ii) elect to sell such
lots, parcels or items through a single sale, or through two or more successive
sales, or in any other manner the Beneficiary deems in its best interest. Should
the Beneficiary desire that more than one sale or other disposition of the
Property be conducted, the Beneficiary may, at its option, cause the same to be
conducted simultaneously, or successively, on the same day, or at such different
days or times and in such order as the Beneficiary may deem to be in its best
interests, and no such sale shall terminate or otherwise affect the lien of this
Deed of Trust on any part of the Property not sold until all indebtedness
secured hereby has been fully paid. In the event the Beneficiary elects to
dispose of the Property through more than one sale, the Trustor agrees to pay
the costs and expenses of each such sale and of any judicial proceedings wherein
the same may be made, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and the
Beneficiary, their agents and counsel, and to pay all expenses, liabilities and
advances made or incurred by the Trustee in connection with such sale or sales,
together with interest on all such advances made by the Trustee at the lower of
the Default Rate and the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by the
Trustee.
5.3. Waivers
5.3.1. The Trustor, in addition to, and without limitation of any
other waivers contained in this Deed of Trust, (a) acknowledges that Section
2856 of the California Civil Code authorizes and validates waivers of a
guarantor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement and certain other rights and
defenses available to Beneficiary under California law; and (b) unconditionally
waives any defense to the enforcement of this Deed of Trust, including any right
of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnity, or any
right to enforce any remedy which the Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have
against the Issuer or any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any
security now or hereafter held by the Beneficiary.
-17-
5.3.2. Without limitation on the generality of the other waivers
contained in this Deed of Trust, the Trustor hereby waives all rights and
defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the creditor, even though
that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to
security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the guarantor's rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section
580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. In addition, the Trustor
waives all rights and defenses that the Trustor may have because the debtor's
debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things:
(a) The creditor may collect from the guarantor without first
foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the debtor.
(b) If the creditor forecloses on any real property collateral
pledged by the debtor: (x) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the
price for which the collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the
collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (y) the creditor may collect
from the guarantor even if the creditor, by foreclosing on the real property
collateral, has destroyed any right the guarantor may have to collect from the
debtor. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and
defenses the guarantor may have because the debtor's debt is secured by real
property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights
or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the Code of Civil
Procedure.
5.3.3. These waivers and acknowledgments constitute an unconditional
and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Trustor may have because
Issuer's debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include,
but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580b,
580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
5.4. The Trustor acknowledges that this Deed of Trust is one of a
number of deeds of trust and other security documents ("Other Security
Instruments") that secure the guarantee of Issuer's obligations under the Notes
and the Indenture. The Trustor agrees that the lien of this Deed of Trust shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or
impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of the Beneficiary, and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be impaired
by any acceptance by the Beneficiary of any security for or guarantees of
Issuer's obligations under the Notes and Indenture, or by any failure, neglect
or omission on the part of the Beneficiary to realize upon or protect any any
collateral security therefor including the Other Security Instruments. The lien
hereof shall not in any manner be impaired or affected by any release (except as
to the property released), sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement,
renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, changing, modification or
disposition of any of Issuer's obligations under the Notes and the Indenture or
of any of the collateral security therefor, including the Other Security
Instruments or of any guarantee thereof, and, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Beneficiary may at its discretion foreclose, exercise any
-18-
power of sale, or exercise any other remedy available to it under any or all of
the Other Security Instruments without first exercising or enforcing any of its
rights and remedies hereunder. Such exercise of Beneficiary's rights and
remedies under any or all of the Other Security Instruments shall not in any
manner impair the indebtedness hereby secured or the lien of this Deed of Trust
and any exercise of the rights or remedies of the Beneficiary hereunder shall
not impair the lien of any of the Other Security Instruments or any of the
Trustee's or Beneficiary's rights and remedies thereunder. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the Trustor specifically consents and agrees the
Beneficiary may exercise its rights and remedies hereunder and under the Other
Security Instruments separately or concurrently and in any order that it may
deem appropriate and waives any rights of subrogation.
