SECTION 11.3 Sale of Mortgaged Property if Event of Default Occurs; Proceeds of Sale.
(i) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary or the Trustee may institute an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or take such other action as may be permitted and available to the Beneficiary at law or in equity for the enforcement of the Indenture and the Notes and realization on the Mortgaged Property and proceeds thereon through power of sale or to final judgment and execution thereof for the Secured Obligations, and in furtherance thereof the Trustee may sell the Mortgaged Property at one or more sales (to the extent permitted by law), as an entirety or in parcels (to the extent permitted by law), at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law or statute or in equity. The Trustee may execute and deliver to the purchaser at such sale a conveyance of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple and an assignment or conveyance of all the Grantor’s Interest in the Leases and the Mortgaged Property, each of which conveyances and assignments shall contain recitals as to the Event of Default upon which the execution of the power of sale herein granted depends, and the Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints the Trustee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Grantor to make any such recitals, sale, assignment and conveyance, and all of the acts of the Trustee as such attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed. The Grantor agrees that such recitals shall be binding and conclusive upon the Grantor and that any assignment or conveyance to be made by the Trustee shall divest the Grantor of all right, title, interest, equity and right of redemption, including any statutory redemption, in and to the Mortgaged Property. The power and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or dissolution, or otherwise, and are in addition to any and all other remedies which the Beneficiary or the Trustee may have hereunder, at law or in equity. So long as the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof,
65
remain unpaid, the Grantor agrees that possession of the Mortgaged Property by the Grantor, or any person claiming under the Grantor, shall be as tenant, and, in case of a sale under power or upon foreclosure as provided in this Deed of Trust, the Grantor and any person in possession under the Grantor, as to whose interest such sale was not made subject, shall, at the option of the purchaser at such sale, then become and be tenants holding over, and shall forthwith deliver possession to such purchaser, or be summarily dispossessed in accordance with the laws applicable to tenants holding over. In case of any sale under this Deed of Trust by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Mortgaged Property may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels in such manner or order as the Beneficiary or the Trustee in its sole discretion may elect. One or more exercises of powers herein granted shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers, until the entire Mortgaged Property is sold or all amounts secured hereby are paid in full.
(ii) In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article XI, the entire principal of, and interest in respect of the Secured Obligations, if not previously due and payable, shall, at the option of the Beneficiary, immediately become due and payable, anything in this Deed of Trust to the contrary notwithstanding.
(iii) To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of Section 55-59.4.A.3 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended, the Proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article XI, together with any other sums which then may be held by the Beneficiary or the Trustee under this Deed of Trust, whether under the provisions of this Article XI or otherwise, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
(iv) The Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof at any sale made under or by virtue of this Article XI and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the purchase price the unpaid amounts (whether or not then due and owing) in respect of the Secured Obligations, after deducting from the sales price the expense of the sale and the reasonable costs of the action or proceedings and any other sums that the Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under this Deed of Trust.
(v) The Beneficiary or the Trustee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue hereof by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales, and, the Beneficiary or the Trustee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.
(vi) If the Premises is comprised of more than one parcel of land, the Beneficiary or the Trustee may take any of the actions authorized by this Section 11.3 in respect of any or a number of individual parcels.
SECTION 11.4 Additional Remedies in Case of an Event of Default.
(i) The Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover judgment as aforesaid either before, after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of the provisions hereof, and the right of the Beneficiary to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any entry or sale hereunder, or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions hereof, or the foreclosure of, or absolute conveyance pursuant to, this Deed of Trust. In case of proceedings against the Grantor in insolvency or bankruptcy or any proceedings for its reorganization or involving the liquidation of its assets, the Beneficiary shall be entitled to prove the whole amount of principal and interest and other payments, charges and costs due in respect of the Secured Obligations to the full amount thereof without deducting therefrom any proceeds obtained from the sale of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that in no case shall the Beneficiary receive a greater amount than the aggregate of such principal, interest and such other payments, charges and costs (with interest at the Default Rate) from the proceeds of the sale of the Mortgaged Property and the distribution from the estate of the Grantor.
66
(ii) Any recovery of any judgment by the Beneficiary and any levy of any execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property shall not affect in any manner or to any extent the Lien and security interests created and evidenced hereby upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any conveyances, powers, rights and remedies of the Beneficiary hereunder, but such conveyances, powers, rights and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.
(iii) Any monies collected by the Beneficiary under this Section 11.4 shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3(iii).
SECTION 11.5 Legal Proceedings After an Event of Default.
(i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and immediately upon the commencement of any action, suit or legal proceedings to obtain judgment for the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, or of any proceedings to foreclose the Lien and security interest created and evidenced hereby or otherwise enforce the provisions hereof or of any other proceedings in aid of the enforcement hereof, the Grantor shall enter its voluntary appearance in such action, suit or proceeding.
(ii) To the extent permitted by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Beneficiary shall be entitled forthwith as a matter of right, concurrently or independently of any other right or remedy hereunder either before or after declaring the Secured Obligations or any part thereof to be due and payable, to the appointment of a receiver without giving notice to any party and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations or the solvency or insolvency of any person or entity then legally or equitably liable for the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof. The Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, the Beneficiary shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits or instruments at the time held by or payable or deliverable under the terms of the Indenture to the Beneficiary.
(iii) The Grantor shall not (A) at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage of any stay or extension or moratorium law, any exemption from execution or sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants and terms of performance hereof, (B) claim, take or insist on any benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales of the Mortgaged Property which may be made pursuant to this Deed of Trust, or pursuant to any decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction or (C) after any such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor hereby expressly (A) waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws, including, without limitation, any statute of limitations applicable to this Deed of Trust, (B) waives all rights to have the Mortgaged Property marshalled on any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, (C) waives any and all rights to trial by jury in any action or proceeding related to the enforcement hereof, (D) waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding brought in connection with this Deed of Trust and further waives and agrees not to plead that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (E) covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted or delegated to the Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust but to suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted. The Beneficiary shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article XI in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 11.6 Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Deed of Trust or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Any delay or omission of the Beneficiary to exercise any right or power accruing on any Event of Default shall not impair any such right or power and shall not be
67
construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in any such Event of Default. Every power and remedy given by this Deed of Trust may be exercised from time to time concurrently or independently, when and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Beneficiary in such order and manner as the Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may elect. If the Beneficiary accepts any monies required to be paid by the Grantor under this Deed of Trust after the same become due, such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of the right either to require prompt payment, when due, of all other sums secured by this Deed of Trust or to declare an Event of Default with regard to subsequent defaults. If the Beneficiary accepts any monies required to be paid by the Grantor under this Deed of Trust in an amount less than the sum then due, such acceptance shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and on the condition that it shall not constitute a waiver of the obligation of the Grantor to pay the entire sum then due, and the Grantor’s failure to pay the entire sum then due shall be and continue to be a default hereunder notwithstanding acceptance of such amount on account.

(ii) The Beneficiary shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Mortgaged Property in its possession if such Mortgaged Property is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Beneficiary, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Beneficiary nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Mortgaged Property.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Grantor shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them.
71
(ii) Survival. The obligations of the Grantor contained in this Section 14.6 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of the Grantor’s other obligations under this Deed of Trust, the Indenture and the other Collateral Documents.

Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by the Grantor from the terms of any provision hereof shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Deed of Trust or any other Collateral Document, no notice to or demand on the Grantor in any case shall entitle the Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 14.11 GOVERNING LAW; SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS DEED OF TRUST SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR ITEM OR TYPE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE. GRANTOR AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE ISSUER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE BENEFICIARY SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED PURSUANT THERETO. IF ANY AGENT APPOINTED BY GRANTOR REFUSES TO ACCEPT SERVICE, GRANTOR HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE UPON IT BY MAIL SHALL CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT NOTICE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE
72
PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF BENEFICIARY TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST GRANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS DEED OF TRUST OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
SECTION 14.12 Severability of Provisions.

SECTION 14.13 Limitation on Interest Payable. It is the intention of the parties to conform strictly to the usury laws, whether state or Federal, that are applicable to the transaction of which this Deed of Trust is a part. All agreements between the Grantor and the Beneficiary, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether oral or written, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid by the Grantor for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned or advanced under the Indenture or any related document or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in the Indenture or any related document exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable Federal or state usury laws. If under any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any such provision, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity. If under any circumstances the Grantor shall have paid an amount deemed interest by applicable law, which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be excessive interest under applicable usury laws shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing in respect of the Secured Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal and any other amounts due hereunder, the excess shall be refunded to the Grantor. All sums paid or agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance or detention of the principal under any extension of credit by the Beneficiary shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and to the extent necessary to preclude exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date hereof until payment in full of the Secured Obligations so that the actual rate of interest on account of such principal amounts is uniform throughout the term hereof.
SECTION 14.14 Business Days. In the event any time period or any date provided in this Deed of Trust ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such other day.
SECTION 14.15 Relationship.

SECTION 14.21 Trustee Provisions.
(a) No Required Action. Trustee shall not be required to take any action toward the execution and enforcement of the trust hereby created or to institute, appear in, or defend any action, suit, or other proceeding in connection therewith where, in Trustee’s opinion, such action would be likely to involve Trustee in expense or liability, unless requested so to do by a written instrument signed by Beneficiary and, if Trustee so requests, unless Trustee is tendered security and indemnity satisfactory to Trustee against any and all cost, expense, and liability arising therefrom. Trustee shall not be responsible for the execution, acknowledgment, or validity of this Deed of Trust, or for the proper authorization thereof, or for the sufficiency of the lien and security interest purported to be created hereby, and Trustee makes no representation in respect thereof or in respect of the rights, remedies, and recourses of Beneficiary.
(b) Certain Rights. With the approval of Beneficiary, Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to select, employ, and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Beneficiary) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution, and interpretation of this Deed of Trust, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through her agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about the execution of Trustee’s duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee, and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or bad faith, and (iv) any and all other lawful action as Beneficiary may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Beneficiary’s rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Mortgaged Property for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Mortgaged Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee’s duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of Trustee’s services hereunder as shall be rendered. Grantor will, from time to time, pay the reasonable compensation due to Trustee hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and save Trustee harmless against, any and all liability and reasonable expenses which may be incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee’s duties hereunder.
(c) Substitution of Trustee. Subject to the restrictions regarding the substitution of trustees in the Indenture, if, for any reason, with or without cause, the Beneficiary shall elect to substitute for the trustee herein named (or for any successor to said trustee), the Beneficiary shall have the right to appoint successor Trustee(s) by duly acknowledged written instruments, and each new Trustee immediately upon recordation of the instrument so appointing him shall become successor in title to the Premises for the uses and purposes of this Deed of Trust, with all the powers, duties and obligations conferred on the Trustee in the same manner and to the same effect as though he were named herein as the Trustee.
(d) Successor Trustees. Trustee may resign by the giving of notice of such resignation in writing or verbally to Beneficiary. If Trustee shall die, resign, or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or if, for any reason, Beneficiary shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee or multiple substitute trustees, or successive substitute trustees or successive multiple substitute trustees, to act instead of
75
the aforenamed Trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint a substitute trustee (or, if preferred, multiple substitute trustees) in succession who shall succeed (and if multiple substitute trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute trustees shall succeed) to all the estates, rights, powers, and duties of the aforenamed Trustee. Such appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary, and if such Beneficiary be a corporation and such appointment be executed in its behalf by any officer of such corporation, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the aforenamed Trustee, or her successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. If multiple substitute Trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute Trustees shall be empowered and authorized to act alone without the necessity of the joinder of the other multiple substitute trustees, whenever any action or undertaking of such substitute trustees is requested or required under or pursuant to this Deed of Trust or applicable law.
(e) Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any nature be required from Grantor by any Trustee or substitute Trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to the Trustee or substitute Trustee such estates, rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by the Trustee or substitute Trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor.
(f) Succession Instruments. Any substitute Trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Beneficiary or of the substitute Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute Trustee so appointed in the Trustee’s place.
(g) No Representation by Trustee or Beneficiary. By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, or fulfilled or to be given to Trustee or Beneficiary pursuant to the Collateral Documents, including without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness, or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision, or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Trustee or Beneficiary.

FORM OF SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE
AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the day of , by and between , as trustee, having an office at (in such capacity, “Trustee”), and , having an office at (“Tenant”).
R E C I T A L S:
A. Tenant is the tenant under a certain lease dated , between , as landlord (“Landlord”), and Tenant, as tenant (as amended through the date hereof, the “Lease”), pursuant to which Tenant leased a portion (the “Leased Premises”) of the property known as , located at , as more particularly described in Schedule A attached hereto (the “Property”).
B. Landlord has or will grant a deed of trust lien on and security interest in the Property to Trustee (for its benefit and for the benefit of the holders of certain senior secured notes and notes issued in exchange therefor pursuant to that certain indenture dated as of [ , 2002]) pursuant to one or more mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or similar security instruments (collectively, the “Security Instruments”).
C. Tenant has agreed to subordinate the Lease to the Security Instruments and to the lien thereof and Trustee has agreed not to disturb Tenant’s possessory rights in the Leased Premises under the Lease on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
A G R E E M E N T:
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
1. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, the Lease and the leasehold estate created thereby and all of Tenant’s rights thereunder are and shall at all times be subject and subordinate in all respects to the Security Instruments and the lien thereof, and to all rights of Trustee thereunder, and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
2. Nondisturbance. So long as Tenant complies with the provisions of this Agreement, pays all rents and other charges as specified in the Lease and is not otherwise in default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) of any of its obligations and covenants pursuant to the Lease, Trustee agrees for itself and its successors in interest and for any other person acquiring title to the Property through a foreclosure (an “Acquiring Party”), that Tenant’s possession of the Leased Premises as described in the Lease will not be disturbed during the term of the Lease by reason of a foreclosure. For purposes of this Agreement, a “foreclosure” shall include (but not be limited to) a sheriff’s or trustee’s sale under the power of sale contained in the Security Instruments, the termination of any superior lease of the Property and any other transfer of the Landlord’s interest in the Property under peril of foreclosure, including, without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, an assignment or sale in lieu of foreclosure.
3. Attornment. Tenant agrees to attorn to, accept and recognize any Acquiring Party as the landlord under the Lease pursuant to the provisions expressly set forth therein for the then remaining balance of the term of the Lease, and any extensions thereof as made pursuant to the Lease. The foregoing provision shall be self-operative and shall not require the execution of any further instrument or agreement by Tenant as a condition to its effectiveness.
4. No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Lease, it is specifically understood and agreed that neither the Trustee, any receiver nor any Acquiring Party shall be:
(a) liable for any act, omission, negligence or default of any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(b) liable for any failure of any prior landlord (including Landlord) to construct any improvements or bound by any covenant to construct any improvement either at the commencement of the term of the Lease or upon any renewal or extension thereof or upon the addition of additional space pursuant to any expansion right contained in the Lease; or
(c) subject to any offsets, credits, claims or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(d) bound by any rent or additional rent which is payable on a monthly basis and which Tenant might have paid for more than one (1) month in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord) or by any security deposit or other prepaid charge which Tenant might have paid in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(e) liable to Tenant hereunder or under the terms of the Lease beyond its interest in the Property; or
(f) bound by any assignment, subletting, renewal, extension or any other agreement or modification of the Lease made without the written consent of Trustee; or
(g) bound by any consensual or negotiated surrender, cancellation or termination of the Lease, in whole or in part, agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant unless effected unilaterally by Tenant pursuant to the express terms of the Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant reserves its right to any and all claims or causes of action (i) against such prior landlord for prior losses or damages and (ii) against the successor landlord for all losses or damages arising from and after the date that such successor landlord takes title to the Property.
5. Certain Acknowledgments and Agreements by Tenant. (a) Tenant has notice that the Lease and the rents and all other sums due thereunder have been assigned to Trustee as security for the notes secured by the Security Instruments. In the event Trustee notifies Tenant of the occurrence of a default under the Security Instruments and demands that Tenant pay its rents and all other sums due or to become due under the Lease directly to Trustee, Tenant shall honor such demand and pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Trustee or as otherwise authorized in writing by Trustee. Landlord irrevocably authorizes Tenant to make the foregoing payments to Trustee upon such notice and demand.
(b) Tenant shall send a copy of any and all notices or statements under the Lease to Trustee at the same time such notices or statements are sent to Landlord.
(c) This Agreement satisfies any and all conditions or requirements in the Lease relating to the granting of a non-disturbance agreement.
6. Trustee to Receive Default Notices. Tenant shall notify Trustee of any default by Landlord under the Lease which would entitle Tenant to cancel the Lease, and agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary, no notice of cancellation thereof shall be effective unless Trustee shall
have received notice of default giving rise to such cancellation and shall have failed within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice to cure such default or, if such default cannot be cured within sixty (60) days, shall have failed within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice to commence and thereafter diligently pursue any action necessary to cure such default.
7. Estoppel. Tenant hereby certifies and represents to Trustee that as of the date of this Agreement:

(d) there are no defenses, counterclaims or setoffs against rents or charges due or which may become due under the Lease;
(e) none of the rent which Tenant is required to pay under the Lease has been prepaid, or will in the future be prepaid, more than one (1) month in advance;
(f) Tenant has no right or option contained in the Lease or in any other document to purchase all or any portion of the Leased Premises;

further, that the interest of Tenant under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred without the prior written consent of Trustee. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that all references herein to Landlord shall mean the owner of the landlord’s interest in the Lease, even if said owner shall be different from the Landlord named in the Recitals.
