5


Grantor hereby warrants that Grantor has good and marketable title to the Premises, is lawfully seized and possessed of the Premises and every part thereof, and has the right to convey same; that Grantor will forever warrant and defend the title to the Premises unto Beneficiary against the claims of all persons whomsoever subject to the Permitted Encumbrances (as hereinafter defined); and that the Premises are unencumbered except as set forth on Beneficiary’s title insurance policy dated on or about even date herewith regarding the Premises (the “Permitted Encumbrances”).

2. Maintenance, Repair and Restoration of Improvements, Payment of Prior Liens, etc. Grantor shall: (a) promptly repair, restore or rebuild any Improvements now or hereafter on the Premises which may become damaged or be destroyed, such Improvements to be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction; provided, however, if such repair, restoration or rebuilding is required as a result of casualty or condemnation, Grantor shall only be required to repair, restore or rebuild if Beneficiary makes the insurance or condemnation proceeds (after payment of costs of collection) available for repair, restoration or rebuilding, but Grantor’s obligations therefor are not limited to the amount of available proceeds; (b) keep the Premises in good condition and repair, without waste, and free from mechanics’ liens or other liens or claims for lien (except the lien of current general taxes duly levied and assessed but not yet due and payable and liens being contested in accordance with the following paragraph); (c) immediately pay when due or within any applicable grace period any indebtedness which may be secured by a lien or charge on the Premises (no such lien, except for current general taxes duly levied and assessed but not yet payable, to be permitted hereunder), and upon request exhibit satisfactory evidence to Beneficiary of the discharge of such lien; (d) complete within a reasonable time any Improvements now or at any time in process of erection upon the Land; (e) comply with all requirements of law (including, without limitation, pollution control and environmental protection laws and laws relating to the accommodation of persons with disabilities), ordinance or other governmental regulation in effect from time to time affecting the Premises and the use thereof, and covenants, easements and restrictions of record with respect to the Premises and the use thereof; (f) make no material alterations in the Premises; (g) suffer or permit no material change in the general nature of the use of the Premises, without Beneficiary’s written consent; (h) initiate or acquiesce in no material zoning reclassification or variance with respect to the Premises without Beneficiary’s written consent; and (i) pay each item of the Guaranteed Obligations when due.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Grantor shall not be required to pay or discharge any taxes, assessments or other charges of the nature referred to in Paragraphs 2 and 3 herein so long as Grantor shall in good faith contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the collection of the levy, lien or imposition so contested and the sale of the Premises, or any part thereof, to satisfy any obligation arising therefrom, provided that Grantor shall give such reasonable security as may be demanded by Beneficiary to insure such payments and prevent any sale or forfeiture of the Premises by reason of such nonpayment, failure of performance or contest by Grantor. Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence and Grantor shall promptly after final determination thereof pay the amount of any levy, lien or imposition so determined, together with all interest and penalties, which may be payable in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph, Grantor shall (and if Grantor shall fail so to do, Beneficiary

 

6


may but shall not be required to) pay any such levy, lien or imposition notwithstanding such contest if in the reasonable opinion of Beneficiary, the Premises shall be in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed.

3. Payment of Taxes. Subject to Paragraph 2 herein, Grantor shall pay prior to any delinquency or any penalty or interest attaches all general taxes, special taxes, special assessments, water charges, sewer service charges, and all other charges against the Premises of any nature whatsoever when due, and shall, upon written request, furnish to Beneficiary duplicate receipts therefor.

4. Tax Deposits. Unless otherwise waived in writing by Beneficiary, Grantor covenants and agrees to deposit with such depositary as the Beneficiary from time to time may in writing appoint, and in the absence of such appointment, then at the office of Beneficiary, c/o ING Investment Management LLC, 5780 Powers Ferry Road, NW, Suite 300, Atlanta, Georgia 30327-4349, Attention: Mortgage Loan Servicing Department, commencing on the date of disbursement of the Loan and on the first day of each month following the month in which said disbursement occurred until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully paid, a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the last total annual taxes and assessments for the last ascertainable year (if the current year’s taxes and assessments are not yet ascertainable) (general and special) on the Premises (unless said taxes are based upon assessments which exclude the Improvements or any part thereof now constructed or to be constructed, in which event the amount of such deposits shall be based upon the Beneficiary’s reasonable estimate as to the amount of taxes and assessments to be levied and assessed). Such deposits are to be held without any allowance of interest (unless local law requires otherwise) and are to be used for the payment of taxes and assessments (general and special) on the Premises next due and payable when they become due. Upon demand by such depositary, Grantor shall deliver and pay over to such depositary from time to time such additional sums or such additional security as are necessary to make up any deficiency in the amount necessary to enable such depositary to fully pay any of the items hereinabove mentioned as they become payable. If the funds so deposited exceed the amount required to pay such items hereinabove mentioned for any year, the excess shall be applied on a subsequent deposit or deposits. Said deposits need not be kept separate and apart from any other funds of Beneficiary or such depositary.

If any such taxes or assessments (general or special) shall be levied, charged, assessed or imposed upon or for the Premises, or any portion thereof, and if such taxes or assessments shall also be a levy, charge, assessment or imposition upon or for any other property not covered by the lien of this Deed of Trust, then the computation of any amount to be deposited under this Paragraph 4 shall be based upon the entire amount of such taxes or assessments, and Grantor shall not have the right to apportion the amount of any such taxes or assessments for the purposes of such computation.

5. Beneficiary’s Interest In and Use of Deposits. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may at its option, without being required to do so, apply any monies at the time on deposit pursuant to Paragraphs 4 and 7 hereof, on any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any of the Loan Documents contained, in such order and manner as the Beneficiary may elect. When the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid or satisfied, any remaining deposits shall be paid to Grantor or to the then owner or owners of the Premises. A

 

7


security interest within the meaning of the UCC is hereby granted to the Beneficiary in and to any monies at any time on deposit pursuant to Paragraphs 4 and 7 hereof and such monies and all of Grantor’s right, title and interest therein are hereby assigned to Beneficiary, all as additional security for the Guaranteed Obligations and shall in the absence of the occurrence of an Event of Default be applied by the depositary for the purposes for which made hereunder and shall not be subject to the direction or control of Grantor; provided, however, that neither Beneficiary nor said depositary shall be liable for any failure to apply to the payment of taxes and assessments and insurance premiums any amount so deposited. Neither Beneficiary nor any depositary hereunder shall be liable for any act or omission taken in good faith or pursuant to the instruction of any party but only for its willful misconduct.

6. Insurance.

(a) Until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully paid or satisfied, the Improvements and all fixtures, equipment and property therein contained or installed shall be kept unceasingly insured against loss and damage by such hazards, casualties and contingencies in such amounts and for such periods as may from time to time be required by Beneficiary. All insurance shall be written in policies and by insurance companies approved by Beneficiary which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as a A.M. Best Company’s Key Rating Guide Class rating of at least A XII is maintained and the policy otherwise conforms to the terms hereof. All policies of insurance and renewals thereof shall contain standard noncontributory mortgagee loss payable clauses to Beneficiary, shall not contain a co-insurance clause or other clause limiting the amount of coverage under any conditions, and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Beneficiary of modification (with respect to the Premises), termination, cancellation or non-renewal to the policy (except in the case of non-payment of premium, only ten (10) days written notice is required) that insures the Premises as well as a waiver of subrogation endorsement, all as required by Beneficiary, in form and content acceptable to Beneficiary. All policies (or certified copies thereof) or original ACORD 28 and ACORD 25 (as to liability only) Certificates shall, with all premiums fully paid, be delivered to Beneficiary as issued at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of existing policies and shall be held by Johnson Capital Group having an address at 210 University Boulevard, Seventh Floor, Denver, Colorado 80206 (or such other entity as designated by Beneficiary) until all sums hereby secured are fully paid. Upon request by Beneficiary, Grantor shall furnish Beneficiary evidence of the replacement cost of the Improvements. In case of sale pursuant to a foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or other transfer of title to the Premises and extinguishment of the Guaranteed Obligations, complete title to all policies, other than liability insurance policies, held by Beneficiary and all prepaid or unearned premiums thereon shall pass to and vest in the purchaser or mortgagee/beneficiary (provided that to the extent such policies are blanket policies covering properties other than the Premises and the Affiliate Properties, as defined in the Loan Agreement, such policies shall not be transferred to such purchaser or mortgagee/beneficiary). Beneficiary shall not by reason of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance incur any liability for payment of losses.

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor covenants and agrees to maintain insurance coverage on the Premises which shall include: (i) all risk coverage insurance (including vandalism and malicious mischief) for an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of the Improvements, written on a

 

8


replacement cost basis and with a replacement cost endorsement (without physical depreciation), an increased cost of construction endorsement, and an agreed amount endorsement pertaining to the co-insurance clause, and containing a mortgagee clause in Beneficiary’s favor; and if at any time a dispute arises with respect to replacement cost, Grantor agrees to provide (but not more frequently than once per twenty-four month period, as to the Premises, or if the Premises are comprised of more than one parcel, as to each such parcel) at Grantor’s expense, an insurance appraisal prepared by an insurance appraiser approved by Beneficiary, establishing the full replacement cost in a manner satisfactory to the insurance carrier; (ii) business interruption or rent loss insurance insuring against loss arising out of the perils insured against in the policy or policies referred to in clause (i) above, in an amount equal to not less than gross revenue from the Premises for twelve (12) months from the operation and rental of all Improvements now or hereafter forming part of the Premises, less any allocable charges and expenses which do not continue during the period of restoration and naming Beneficiary in a standard mortgagee loss payable clause thereunder; (iii) commercial general public liability and property damage insurance with a broad form coverage endorsement for an amount as required from time to time by the Beneficiary and sufficient to satisfy all tenant lease requirements but not less than an aggregate amount of Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) with a single occurrence limit of not less than Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for claims arising from any one (1) accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises and naming Beneficiary as an additional insured thereunder; (iv) flood insurance whenever in Beneficiary’s reasonable judgment such protection is necessary and is available and in such case in an amount acceptable to Beneficiary and naming Beneficiary as the loss payee thereunder; (v) earthquake insurance (if available at a commercially reasonable cost) whenever in Beneficiary’s reasonable judgment such protection is necessary due to a change in the seismic zone in which the Premises are located evidencing a greater risk of earthquake exposure of a magnitude that ING Investment Management LLC or its affiliates customarily require earthquake insurance coverage with respect to its real estate collateral securing other commercial loans and is available and in such case in an amount acceptable to Beneficiary and naming Beneficiary as the loss payee thereunder; (vi) insurance covering pressure vessels, pressure piping and machinery, if any, and all major components of any centralized heating or air-conditioning systems located in the Improvements, in an amount satisfactory to Beneficiary, such policies also to insure against physical damage to such buildings and improvements arising out of peril covered thereunder; and (vii) such other insurance that may be reasonably required from time to time by Beneficiary. Any modifications to the foregoing insurance requirements or the requirement of additional insurance coverage by Beneficiary shall be imposed only if such coverage is (x) available at a commercially reasonable cost and customarily obtained for properties similar in nature and location to the Premises, (y) imposed by Beneficiary on all similar properties within its loan portfolio, or (z) otherwise to the extent required under any applicable law, rule or regulation.

(c) Grantor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained hereunder.

7. Insurance Premium Deposits. It is further covenanted and agreed that for the purpose of providing funds with which to pay the premiums as the same become due on the policies of insurance as herein covenanted to be furnished by the Grantor unless otherwise waived in writing by Beneficiary, Grantor shall deposit with Beneficiary or the depositary referred to in Paragraph 4 hereof on the date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan and

 

9


on the first day of each month following the month in which said disbursement occurred, an amount equal to the annual premiums that will next become due and payable on such policies less any amount then on deposit with the Beneficiary or such depositary, divided by the number of months to elapse thirty (30) days prior to the date when such premiums become delinquent. No interest shall be allowed to Grantor on account of any deposit or deposits made hereunder and said deposits need not be kept separate and apart from any other funds of Beneficiary or such depositary.

8. Adjustment of Losses with Insurer and Application of Proceeds of Insurance.

(a) In case of loss or damage by fire or other casualty, Grantor shall immediately give Beneficiary and the insurance companies that have insured against such risks written notice of such occurrence.

(b) In case of loss or damage by fire or other casualty, Grantor shall, if no Event of Default then exists hereunder, have the sole and exclusive right to settle, compromise or adjust any claim under, and receive, for the purpose of rebuilding and restoration, the proceeds arising from, any and all losses payable under insurance policies to the extent the amount thereof does not exceed an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the original principal amount of the Grantor Note (or if the Premises are comprised of multiple parcels, five percent (5%) of the initial Principal Allocation set forth in Section 3.07(a) of the Loan Agreement) (the “Threshold Amount”), and all claims for losses in excess of said amount shall be settled, compromised or adjusted only with the mutual agreement of Grantor and Beneficiary and the proceeds paid as hereinafter provided. In the event insurance proceeds in excess of the Threshold Amount are payable or if an Event of Default exists hereunder, then in either of such events, Beneficiary is authorized to collect and receipt for any insurance proceeds. Insurance proceeds collected by Beneficiary as aforesaid, after deducting therefrom any expenses incurred in the collection thereof, shall, if requested by Grantor in writing within thirty (30) days after the proceeds of insurance covering such damage or destruction become available, be made available to Grantor for the purpose of paying the cost of rebuilding or restoring of the Improvements if (i) the Premises, in Beneficiary’s sole and absolute discretion is capable of being restored to that condition which existed immediately prior to the damage or loss, (ii) the insurance proceeds, together with all other funds which are to be provided by Grantor, are sufficient to restore the Premises, (iii) Beneficiary determines that income from the Premises shall not be materially affected following the completion of the restoration or rebuilding; (iv) no Event of Default then exists hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and no circumstance or condition exists that would constitute an Event of Default upon the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, and (v) the rebuilding and restoration is reasonably estimated to be completed at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Maturity Date or any Call Date, as those terms are defined in the Grantor Note. In the event that Beneficiary makes said proceeds available to Grantor to pay the cost of rebuilding or restoring of the Improvements, such proceeds shall be made available in the manner and under the conditions that the Beneficiary may reasonably require to assure proper application of such proceeds. In the event such insurance proceeds are made available by the Beneficiary, the Grantor shall pay all costs incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the application of such insurance proceeds (including but not limited to reasonable costs incurred by Beneficiary, and a title company or agent approved by Beneficiary in overseeing the disbursement of such insurance proceeds). The Improvements shall be restored

 

10


or rebuilt so as to be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction. If the projected cost of rebuilding, repairing or restoring of the Improvements exceeds the Threshold Amount, then insurance proceeds shall not be made available to Grantor unless and until Beneficiary has approved plans and specifications for the proposed rebuilding and restoration, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the proceeds are to be made available by Beneficiary to Grantor to pay the cost of said rebuilding or restoration, any surplus which may remain out of said insurance proceeds after payment of the costs of rebuilding or restoring the Premises shall, at the option of the Beneficiary, be applied on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without Prepayment Premium (as that term is defined in the Affiliate Notes) or be paid to any party entitled thereto under such conditions as Beneficiary may reasonably require. No interest shall be allowed to Grantor on any proceeds held by Beneficiary.

(c) In the event proceeds of insurance are not made available to Grantor for the purpose of paying the cost of the rebuilding or restoring of the Improvements, Beneficiary, after deducting the costs of any collection, adjustment and compromise, shall apply such insurance proceeds in accordance with terms of the Affiliate Notes and the Guaranteed Obligations, provided that any amount so applied by Beneficiary in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Affiliate Notes shall be credited to installments of principal in the inverse order of their maturity but no such application shall delay or postpone any installment payment of principal and interest under the Affiliate Notes (however, from and after the date any such proceeds are applied to the principal balance of the Affiliate Notes, no interest shall thereafter accrue on such principal repaid regardless of the order of payments to which such proceeds are credited).

9. Stamp Tax. If, by the laws of the United States of America, or of any state having jurisdiction over Grantor, any tax is due or becomes due in respect of the issuance of the Affiliate Notes and this Deed of Trust, Grantor covenants and agrees to pay such tax in the manner required by any such law. Grantor further covenants to reimburse Beneficiary for any sums which Beneficiary reasonably expends by reason of the imposition of any tax on the issuance of the Affiliate Notes and this Deed of Trust.

10. Observance of Lease Assignment.

(a) As additional security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations secured hereby and for the faithful performance of the terms and conditions contained herein, Grantor, as landlord, has assigned to Beneficiary, by that certain second-in-priority Assignment of Rents and Leases dated on or about this same date (the “Second Assignment of Rents”), all of Grantor’s right, title and interest as landlord in and to all leases or other rights of use and or occupancy of any part of the Premises, both present and future (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Leases”) and all of the rents, issues and profits from the Leases or guaranties thereof (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Rents”). The Second Assignment of Rents is junior and subordinate in terms of priority to Grantor’s first priority Assignment of Rents and Leases dated of even date herewith in favor of Beneficiary. Any approval or consent under or pursuant to the first priority Assignment of Rents and Leases shall be deemed approval or consent under the provisions of this Paragraph 10.

(b) All Leases entered into after the date hereof (i) shall be bona fide arms-length transactions with a third party, (ii) shall not contain any rental or other concessions other than those required by market conditions with respect to comparable space, (iii) shall provide that the tenant pay a pro rata share (based on square footage of space) of, or increases in, taxes, insurance or other operating expenses, and (iv) shall be materially on a form approved by Beneficiary (which approval has not been previously revoked by Beneficiary as hereinafter provided). Beneficiary will, at the request of Grantor, approve a form of lease satisfactory to Beneficiary, but Beneficiary shall have the right subsequently to reasonably revoke such approval upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Grantor of its election to do so. In the event of any such revocation or approval, Grantor shall not enter into any Lease without the prior written approval of Beneficiary unless Beneficiary has approved a revised form of lease satisfactory to it in its reasonable discretion. Leases which are within the criteria set forth above, thus not requiring the prior approval of Beneficiary, are referred to herein as “Pre-Approved Leases.” Any material change in the form of lease previously approved by Beneficiary shall be subject to Beneficiary’s prior written approval. A lease affecting 320,000 square feet or more of space within the Premises shall be subject to Beneficiary’s prior written consent.

(c) Grantor will not, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent: (i) execute an assignment or pledge of any Rents and/or any Leases except for any assignment or pledge in favor of Beneficiary; or (ii) accept any prepayment of any installment of any Rents more than thirty (30) days before the due date of such installment, and in any event no more than thirty (30) days in advance of the then current month.

(d) Grantor at its sole cost and expense will: (i) at all times promptly and faithfully abide by, discharge and perform all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in all Leases, on the part of the landlord thereunder to be kept and performed; (ii) enforce or secure the performance of all of the covenants, conditions and agreements of the Leases on the part of the lessees to be kept and performed, but Grantor, except as hereinafter expressly provided or except as to existing rights of tenants under the provisions of a Lease (without further consent, approval or agreement of the landlord thereunder), shall not modify, amend, renew, extend, cancel, terminate or accept surrender of any Lease without the prior written consent of Beneficiary (and to the extent landlord’s consent is required as to any matter under a Lease, and the Lease provides that landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent, Beneficiary’s consent shall likewise not be unreasonably withheld); (iii) appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, growing out of or in any manner connected with the Leases or the obligations, duties or liabilities of landlord or of the lessees thereunder; (iv) upon written request of Beneficiary, transfer and assign to Beneficiary, any Lease or Leases heretofore or hereafter entered into, and make, execute and deliver to Beneficiary upon demand, any and all instruments required to effectuate said assignment; (v) furnish Beneficiary, within ten (10) days after a request by Beneficiary so to do, a written statement containing the names of all lessees, terms of all Leases, including the spaces occupied and the rentals payable thereunder; and (vi) exercise within five (5) Business Days (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of any demand therefor by Beneficiary any right to request from the lessee under any Lease a certificate with respect to the status thereof.

 

12


Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor may modify any Lease without Beneficiary’s prior written consent provided such Lease is subordinate to the lien and interest of this Deed of Trust and Beneficiary has not executed a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement for such Lease.

(e) Nothing in this Deed of Trust or in any other documents relating to the Loan shall be construed to obligate Beneficiary, expressly or by implication, to perform any of the covenants of Grantor as landlord under any of the Leases assigned to Beneficiary or to pay any sum of money or damages therein provided to be paid by the landlord, each and all of which covenants and payments Grantor agrees to perform and pay.

(f) All Leases hereafter executed shall be subordinate to the lien and interest of this Deed of Trust, unless otherwise approved by Beneficiary in writing. Grantor will not permit any Lease or any part thereof to become subordinate to any lien other than the lien hereof or the first priority Purchase Money Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Financing Statement and Fixture Filing delivered this same date by Grantor with respect to the Premises (the “First Deed of Trust”).

(g) Beneficiary shall have the option to declare this Deed of Trust in default because of a default of landlord in any Lease of the Premises unless such default is cured by Grantor pursuant to the terms of the Lease and within any applicable cure period or unless such default would not permit the tenant to terminate the Lease. It is covenanted and agreed that an Event of Default under the Second Assignment of Rents shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder on account of which the whole of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at once, at the option of the Beneficiary, become immediately due and payable without notice to the Grantor.

(h) Grantor shall not, and shall not permit any tenant to, conduct any on-site dry cleaning operations on the Premises other than a pick-up or drop-off operation.

(i) In the event of the enforcement by Beneficiary of the remedies provided for by law or by this Deed of Trust, the lessee under each Lease of the Premises shall, at the option of Beneficiary, attorn to any person succeeding to the interest of Grantor as a result of such enforcement and shall recognize such successor in interest as landlord under such Lease without change in the terms or other provisions thereof; provided, however, that said successor in interest shall not be bound by any payment of rent or additional rent for more than one month in advance or any amendment or modification to any Lease made without the consent of Beneficiary or said successor in interest. Each lessee, upon request by said successor in interest, shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming such attornment.

11. Effect of Extension of Time. If the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, is extended or varied, or if any part of any security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations is released, or if any person or entity liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations is released, or if Beneficiary takes other or additional security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or if Beneficiary waives or fails to exercise any right granted herein, or in the Guaranty secured hereby, or in any other instrument given to secure the payment and performance hereof, then all persons now or at any time hereafter liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, or interest in the Premises shall be

 

13


held to assent to such extension, variation, release, waiver, failure to exercise or the taking of additional security, and their liability and the lien and all provisions hereof shall continue in full force, the right of recourse against all such persons being expressly reserved by Beneficiary, notwithstanding such extension, variation, release, waiver, failure to exercise, or the taking of additional security.

12. Effect of Changes in Laws Regarding Taxation. In the event of the enactment after this date of any law of the state in which the Premises are located deducting from the value of the Premises for the purpose of taxation any lien thereon, or imposing upon the Beneficiary the payment of the whole or any part of the taxes or assessments or charges or liens herein required to be paid by Grantor, or changing in any way the laws relating to the taxation of mortgages/deeds of trust/deeds to secure debt or debts secured by mortgages/deeds of trust/deeds to secure debt or Beneficiary’s interest in the Premises, or the manner of collection of taxes, so as to affect this Deed of Trust or the debt secured hereby or the holders thereof, then, and in any such event, Grantor, upon demand by Beneficiary, shall pay such taxes or assessments, or reimburse Beneficiary therefor if Beneficiary pays such taxes and submits proof of payment to Grantor; provided, however, that if in the opinion of counsel for Beneficiary: (i) it might be unlawful to require Grantor to make such payment, or (ii) the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by law; then and in such event, Beneficiary may elect, by notice in writing given to Grantor, to declare all of the Guaranteed Obligations to be and become due and payable sixty (60) days from the giving of such notice, without the applicable Prepayment Premium (as defined in the Affiliate Notes).

13. Beneficiary’s Performance of Defaulted Acts. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default herein, Beneficiary may, but need not, and whether electing to declare the whole of the Guaranteed Obligations due and payable or not, and without waiver of any other remedy, make any payment or perform any act herein required of Grantor in any form and manner deemed expedient, and may, but need not, make full or partial payments of principal or interest on prior encumbrances, if any, and purchase, discharge, compromise or settle any tax lien or other prior lien or title or claim thereof, or redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture affecting the Premises or contest any tax or assessment or cure any default of Grantor as landlord in any Lease. All monies paid for any of the purposes herein authorized and all expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees, and any other monies advanced by Beneficiary in regard to any tax referred to in Paragraphs 9 and 12 hereof or to protect the Premises or the lien hereof, shall be additional Guaranteed Obligations and shall become immediately due and payable without notice and with interest thereon at the Default Rate of interest set forth in the Affiliate Notes. Inaction of Beneficiary shall never be considered as a waiver of any right accruing to it on account of any Event of Default on the part of Grantor.

14. Beneficiary’s Reliance on Tax Bills, Etc. Beneficiary in making any payment hereby authorized: (a) relating to taxes and assessments, may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof; or (b) relating to insurance premiums, may do so according to any bill or statement procured from the appropriate company without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill or statement; or (c) for the purchase, discharge, compromise or

 

14


settlement of any other prior lien, may do so without inquiry as to the validity or amount of any claim for lien which may be asserted.

15. Acceleration of Guaranteed Obligations in Event of Default. It is expressly agreed by Grantor that time is of the essence hereof and that the whole of the Guaranteed Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without notice to Grantor at the option of the Beneficiary upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events (hereinbefore and hereinafter collectively referred to as “Events of Default” and individually referred to as an “Event of Default”), together with a prepayment premium in the amount, if any, required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Affiliate Notes in the event of a prepayment:

(a) nonpayment of any monetary sum due hereunder within ten (10) days after the same shall become due; or

(b) default shall be made in the due observance or performance of the terms and conditions of Paragraph 6 hereof (Insurance) or Paragraph 30 hereof (Due on Sale or Further Encumbrance); or

(c) default shall be made in the due observance or performance of any of the other covenants, agreements or conditions hereinbefore or hereinafter contained, required to be kept or performed or observed by the Grantor which does not relate to the nonpayment of any monetary sum, and such default is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice thereof by Beneficiary to Grantor or within such longer period of time, not exceeding an additional sixty (60) days, as may be reasonably necessary to cure such non-compliance if Grantor is diligently and with continuity of effort pursuing such cure and the failure is susceptible of cure within an additional period of sixty (60) days; or

(d) the entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in respect of Grantor, a general partner of Grantor if Grantor is a partnership, the beneficiary or beneficiaries of Grantor if Grantor is a trust, a managing member of Grantor if Grantor is a limited liability company, or any guarantor of the Affiliate Notes (any of the foregoing parties being referred to herein as a “Key Party”), in any involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) for any Key Party or any substantial part of the property of any such Key Party, or for the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of any Key Party and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; or

(e) the commencement by any Key Party, of a voluntary case under federal bankruptcy laws, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or any other similar laws or the consent by any such Key Party to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of any Key Party, or of any substantial part of the property of any such person or entity, or the making by any such Key Party of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or the failure of any such Key Party generally to pay the debts of any such

 

15


Key Party as such debts become due, or the taking of action by any such Key Party in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

(f) the death of any guarantor of the Affiliate Notes, unless a beneficiary or beneficiaries of the decedent having a net worth or an aggregate net worth, as the case may be, greater than the net worth of the decedent upon the date hereof, shall become liable by assumption under the guaranty within ten (10) days of the appointment of the executor or personal representative; or

(g) any warranty, representation, certification, financial statement, or other information furnished or to be furnished to Beneficiary by or on behalf of Grantor or any guarantor of the Affiliate Notes to induce Beneficiary to loan the money evidenced by the Affiliate Notes proves to have been inaccurate or false in any material respect when made; or

(h) any breach, default, event of default or failure of performance (however denominated) under the Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents and the expiration of any applicable cure period without the same having been cured; or

(i) Grantor shall be in default of, or in violation of, beyond any applicable grace period, any conditions, covenants or restrictions which benefit or burden the Premises; or

(j) any default under the First Deed of Trust after expiration of any grace or applicable cure period without the same having been cured.

If, while any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are being held by Beneficiary to reimburse Grantor for the cost of rebuilding or restoration of buildings or improvements on the Premises, Beneficiary shall accelerate the Guaranteed Obligations, then and in such event, the Beneficiary shall be entitled to apply all such insurance proceeds and condemnation awards then held by it in reduction of the Guaranteed Obligations without payment of a Prepayment Premium and any excess held by it over the amount of Guaranteed Obligations then due hereunder shall be returned to Grantor or any other party entitled thereto without interest.

16. Remedies.

(a) Primary Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur, Beneficiary may: declare the Guaranteed Obligations to be and the same shall be, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived and without regard to the value of the Premises held as security for the Guaranteed Obligations or the solvency of any person liable for the payment of such Guaranteed Obligations; and/or exercise any other right, power or remedy available to it at law or in equity, hereunder or under any other Loan Document without demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, except such as is expressly required hereby or by such other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustee or Beneficiary may:

(i) enter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, exclude Grantor and all persons claiming under Grantor wholly or partly therefrom, and operate, use, manage and control the same, or cause the same to be operated by a person selected by Beneficiary, either in the name of Grantor or

 

16


otherwise, and upon such entry, from time to time, at the expense of Grantor and of the Premises, make all such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions or improvements thereto as Beneficiary may deem proper, and to lease the Premises or any part thereof at such rental and to such persons as it may deem proper and collect and receive the rents, revenues, issues, profits, royalties, income and benefits thereof including, without limitation, those past due and those thereafter accruing, with the right of Beneficiary to terminate, cancel or otherwise enforce any Lease or sublease for any default that would entitle Grantor to terminate, cancel or enforce same and apply the same to the payment of all expenses which Beneficiary may be authorized to incur under the provisions of this Deed of Trust and applicable laws, the remainder to be applied to the payment, performance and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations in such order as Beneficiary may determine until the same have been paid in full.

(ii) institute an action for the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust and the sale of the Premises pursuant to the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;

(iii) sell the Premises or any part thereof, pursuant to the power of sale granted herein, at public auction at such time and place and upon such terms and conditions as Trustee may deem appropriate or as may be required or permitted by applicable law or rule of court, having first given such notice prior to the sale of such time, place and terms by publication in at least one newspaper published or having general circulation in the county or counties in which the Premises is located or at such time or times as may be required by applicable law or rule of court, and at such other times and by such other methods, if any, as Trustee may deem appropriate. Any sale made by Trustee hereunder may be as an entirety or in such parcels as Beneficiary may request. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any sale may be adjourned by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale without further notice except as may be required by law. The sale by Trustee of less than the whole of the Premises shall not exhaust the power of sale herein granted, and Trustee is specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales under such power until the whole of the Premises shall be sold; and, if the proceeds of such sale of less than the whole of the Premises shall be less than the aggregate of the Guaranteed Obligation and the expense of executing this trust as provided herein, this Deed of Trust and the lien hereof shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Premises just as though no sale had been made; provided, however, that Grantor shall never have any right to require the sale of less than the whole of the Premises but Beneficiary shall have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than the whole of the Premises. Trustee may, after any request or direction by Beneficiary, sell not only the real property but also the Collateral and other interests which are a part of the Premises, or any part thereof, as a unit and as a part of a single sale, or may sell any part of the Premises separately from the remainder of the Premises. It shall not be necessary for Trustee to have taken possession of any part of the Premises or to have present or to exhibit at any sale any of the Collateral. After each sale, Trustee shall make to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale good and sufficient

 

17


conveyances, conveying the property so sold to the purchaser or purchasers in fee simple, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances (and to such leases and other matters, if any, as Trustee may elect upon request of Beneficiary), and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the same as herein provided. Payment of the purchase price to the Trustee shall satisfy the obligation of purchaser at such sale therefor, and such purchaser shall not be responsible for the application thereof. The power of sale granted herein shall not be exhausted by any sale held hereunder by Trustee or his substitute or successor, and such power of sale may be exercised from time to time and as many times as Beneficiary may deem necessary until all of the Premises has been duly sold and all Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid. In the event any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Beneficiary, such sale shall not exhaust the power of sale hereunder and Beneficiary shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made hereunder. Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any deed or deeds or other conveyances given by Trustee or any successor or substitute appointed hereunder as to nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to Beneficiary’s having declared all of the Guaranteed Obligations to be due and payable, or as to the request to sell, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to the refusal, failure or inability to act of Trustee or any substitute or successor trustee, or as to the appointment of any substitute or successor trustee, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Beneficiary or by such Trustee, substitute or successor, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited. The Trustee or his successor or substitute may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Trustee, including the posting of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of Trustee, his successor or substitute. If Trustee or his successor or substitute shall have given notice of sale hereunder, any successor or substitute Trustee thereafter appointed may complete the sale and the conveyance of the Premises pursuant thereto as if such notice had been given by the successor or substitute Trustee conducting the sale. It is intended hereby to give the Beneficiary the widest possible discretion permitted by law with respect to all aspects of any such sale or sales.

(iv) take all action to protect and enforce the rights of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, by suit for specific performance of any covenant herein contained, or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted or for the enforcement of any other rights;

(v) exercise any or all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, including the right to (A) enter the Premises and take possession of any personal property without demand or notice and without prior judicial hearing or legal proceedings, which Grantor hereby expressly waives, (B) require Grantor to assemble any personal property, or any portion thereof, and make it available to Beneficiary at a place or places designated by Beneficiary and reasonably convenient to both parties and (C) sell all or any portion of the

 

18


personal property at public or private sale, without prior notice to Grantor except as otherwise required by law (and if notice is required by law, after ten (10) days’ prior written notice), at such place or places and at such time or times and in such manner and upon such terms, whether for cash or on credit, as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine. As to any property subject to Article 9 of the UCC included in the Premises, Beneficiary may proceed under the UCC or proceed as to both real and personal property in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust and the rights and remedies that Beneficiary may have at law or in equity, in respect of real property, and treat both the real and personal property included in the Premises as one parcel or package of security. Grantor shall have the burden of proving that any such sale pursuant to the UCC was conducted in a commercially unreasonable manner;

(vi) terminate any management agreements, contracts, or agents/managers responsible, for the property management of the Premises, if in the sole discretion of Beneficiary such property management is unsatisfactory in any respect;

(vii) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]; and

(viii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if an Event of Default occurs due to the nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, as an alternative to the right of foreclosure for the full Guaranteed Obligations after acceleration thereof, Beneficiary shall have the right to institute proceedings, either judicial or non-judicial, at Beneficiary’s option, for partial foreclosure with respect to the portion of said Guaranteed Obligations so in default, as if under a full foreclosure, and without declaring the entire Guaranteed Obligations due (such proceedings being hereinafter referred to as “Partial Foreclosure”), and provided that if a foreclosure sale is made because of an Event of Default in the payment of a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, such sale may be made subject to the continuing lien of this Deed of Trust for the unmatured part of the Guaranteed Obligations; and it is agreed that such sale pursuant to a Partial Foreclosure, if so made, shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the Guaranteed Obligations, but as to such unmatured part, this Deed of Trust and the lien thereof shall remain in full force and effect just as though no foreclosure sale had been made under the provisions of this Paragraph. Notwithstanding any Partial Foreclosure, Beneficiary may elect, at any time prior to sale pursuant to such Partial Foreclosure, to discontinue such Partial Foreclosure and to accelerate the Guaranteed Obligations by reason of any Event of Default upon which such Partial Foreclosure was predicated or by reason of any other further Event of Default, and proceed with full foreclosure proceedings. It is further agreed that several foreclosures may be made pursuant to Partial Foreclosure without exhausting the right of full or Partial Foreclosure sale for any unmatured part of the Guaranteed Obligations, it being the purpose to provide for a Partial Foreclosure sale of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby without exhausting the power to foreclose and to sell the Premises pursuant to any such Partial Foreclosure for any other part of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether

 

19


matured at the time or subsequently maturing, and without exhausting any right of acceleration and full foreclosure.

(b) Receiver. If an Event of Default shall occur, Beneficiary shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver of the Premises, and the rents, revenues, issues, profits, royalties, income and benefits thereof, without notice or demand, and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Guaranteed Obligations, the value of the Premises or the solvency of Grantor, either before or after any sale, and, Beneficiary may be appointed as such receiver. Such receiver shall have, including, without limitation, the power: (i) to collect the rents, issues and profits of the Premises during the pendency of any foreclosure proceedings whether by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure, and, in case of a sale and a deficiency, for such time when Grantor, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collect such rents, issues and profits, to the maximum time and extent permitted by law; (ii) to extend or modify any then existing Leases and to make new leases, which extensions, modifications and new leases may provide for terms to expire, or for options to leases to extend or renew terms to expire, beyond the maturity date of the Affiliate Notes and beyond the date of the issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale, it being understood and agreed that any such leases, and the options or other such provisions to be contained therein, shall be binding upon Grantor and all persons whose interests in the Premises are subject to the lien hereof and upon the purchaser or purchasers at any foreclosure sale, notwithstanding any redemption from sale, discharge of the secured obligations, satisfaction of any foreclosure decree, or issuance of any certificate of sale or deed to any purchaser; and (iii) all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such case for the protection, possession, control, management, and operation of the Premises during the whole of said period. The court from time to time may authorize the receiver to apply the net income in the receiver’s hands in payment in whole or in part of: (i) the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder, or by any decree foreclosing this Deed of Trust, or in accordance with applicable non-judicial foreclosure provisions, any tax, special assessment or other lien which may be or become superior to the lien hereof or of such decree; and (ii) if this is a leasehold deed of trust, all rents due or which may become due under the underlying lease. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit or otherwise waive Beneficiary’s rights to obtain rents, issues and profits, deliver to one or more tenants a written demand to turn over rents, issues and profits or deliver to Grantor a written demand to turn over rents, issues and profits without appointing a receiver. If an Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by Beneficiary or the Guaranteed Obligations reinstated in accordance with applicable law, Beneficiary shall cooperate with Grantor, at Grantor’s expense, to obtain the dismissal of any receiver appointed for the Premises at the instance of Beneficiary.

(c) Sales by Parcels. In any sale made under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust or pursuant to any judgment or decree of court, the Premises may be sold in one or more parts or parcels or as an entirety and in such order as Beneficiary may elect, without regard to the right of Grantor, or any person claiming under it, to the marshaling of assets. To the full extent permitted by law, Grantor waives the marshaling of assets.

(d) Effect of Sale. The purchaser at any sale made under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust or pursuant to any judgment or decree of court shall take title to the Premises or the part thereof so sold free and discharged of the estate of Grantor therein, the purchaser being

 

20


hereby discharged from all liability to see to the application of the purchase money. Any person, including Beneficiary, may purchase at any such sale. Beneficiary is hereby irrevocably appointed the attorney-in-fact of Grantor in its name and stead to make all appropriate transfers and deliveries of the Premises or any portions thereof so sold and, for this purpose, Beneficiary may execute all appropriate instruments of transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, Grantor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorneys or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, promptly upon Beneficiary’s written request, Grantor shall ratify and confirm, or cause to be ratified and confirmed, any such sale or sales by executing and delivering, or by causing to be executed and delivered, to Beneficiary or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the judgment of Beneficiary, for the purpose, and as may be designated, in such request. Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust, to the extent not prohibited by law, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, property, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Grantor in, to and under the Premises, or any portions thereof so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor, its successors and assigns, and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, by, through or under Grantor, or its successors or assigns. The powers and agency herein granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable.

(e) Eviction of Grantor After Sale. If Grantor fails or refuses to surrender possession of the Premises after any sale thereof, Grantor shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance, subject to eviction by means of forcible entry and detainer proceedings, provided, that this remedy is not exclusive or in derogation of any other right or remedy available to Beneficiary or any purchaser of the Premises under any provision of this Deed of Trust or pursuant to any judgment or decree of court.

(f) Insurance Policies. In the event of a foreclosure sale pursuant to this Deed of Trust or other transfer of title or assignment of the Premises in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Guaranteed Obligations, all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to all policies of insurance required under the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall inure to the benefit of and pass to the successor in interest of Grantor or the purchaser or grantee of the Premises or any part thereof so transferred (provided that to the extent such policies are blanket policies covering properties other than the Premises and the Affiliate Properties, such policies shall not be transferred).

(g) Foreclosure; Expense of Litigation. When the Guaranteed Obligations hereby secured, or any part thereof shall become due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, Beneficiary shall have the right to foreclose the lien hereof for such Guaranteed Obligations or part thereof. In any suit to foreclose the lien hereof, there shall be allowed and included as additional Guaranteed Obligations in the decree for sale all expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Beneficiary for reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, appraiser’s fees, actual costs of environmental reviews or audits, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurances with respect to the title as Beneficiary may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such action or to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such

 

21


decree the true condition of the title to or the value of the Premises. All expenditures and expenses of the nature in this Paragraph mentioned and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Premises, and the maintenance of the lien of this Deed of Trust, including the reasonable fees actually incurred of any attorneys employed by Beneficiary in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Deed of Trust, the Guaranty or the Premises, including appellate, probate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparations for the commencement or defense of any proceedings or threatened suit or proceeding shall be immediately due and payable by Grantor, with interest thereon at the Default Rate of interest as set forth in the Affiliate Notes and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.

17. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale made either under the power of sale hereby given or under a judgment, order or decree made in any action to foreclose or to enforce this Deed of Trust, shall be applied as follows:

(a) subject to applicable law, first to the payment of (i) all costs and expenses of such sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, environmental site assessors fees and costs, appraisers’ fees and costs of procuring title searches, title insurance policies and similar items and (ii) all charges, expenses and advances incurred or made by Beneficiary in order to protect the lien or estate created by this Deed of Trust or the security afforded hereby including any expenses of entering, taking possession of and operating the Premises. If a foreclosure proceeding is commenced by the Trustee, Trustee shall be entitled to receive a commission as provided in Paragraph 43(h) hereof to the extent permitted by applicable law. If a foreclosure proceeding is terminated prior to its completion, Grantor shall pay all expenses incurred by the Trustee, including reasonable attorney fees, plus a partial commission computed in accordance with this Paragraph 17 to the extent permitted by applicable law;

(b) then to the payment of any other Guaranteed Obligations in such order as Beneficiary may determine until the same have been paid in full; and

(c) any balance thereof shall be paid to Grantor, or to whosoever shall be legally entitled thereto, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

20. Condemnation. The Beneficiary may, at its option, in its own name (a) appear or proceed in any condemnation proceeding, and (b) make any compromise or settlement thereof, provided that so long as the Grantor promptly prosecutes any compromise or settlement thereof, the Grantor shall control any compromise or settlement proceeding with the result thereof being subject to the Beneficiary’s approval. The Grantor shall give the Beneficiary immediate notice of the initiation of any condemnation proceeding, and a copy of every pleading, notice and other items served in any condemnation proceeding. Grantor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto the Beneficiary the entire proceeds of any award or any claim for damages for any of the Premises taken or damaged under the power of eminent domain or by condemnation. In the event the condemnation proceeds for the Premises (when aggregated with any prior condemnation proceeds for the Premises during the term of the Affiliate Notes) is less than or equal to $200,000, then, after deducting therefrom any expenses incurred in the collection thereof, such proceeds shall, if requested by Grantor in writing within thirty (30) days after the proceeds become available, be made available to Grantor for the purpose of paying the cost of rebuilding or restoring of the Improvements if (i) the Premises, in Beneficiary’s sole and absolute discretion is capable of being restored, (ii) the proceeds, together with all other funds which are to be provided by Grantor, are sufficient to restore the Premises, (iii) Beneficiary determines that income from the Premises shall not be materially affected following the completion of the restoration or rebuilding, (iv) no Event of Default then exists hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and no circumstance or condition exists that would constitute an Event of Default upon the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, and (v) the rebuilding and restoration is reasonably estimated to be completed at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Maturity Date or any Call Date, as those terms are defined in the Affiliate Notes. In the event the condemnation proceeds exceed $200,000 (when aggregated with prior condemnation awards as aforesaid), or if clauses (i) through (v) immediately preceding are not satisfied, Beneficiary may elect to apply the proceeds of the award upon or in reduction of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether due or not, or make said proceeds available for restoration or rebuilding of the Premises. In the event that Beneficiary makes said proceeds available to reimburse Grantor for the cost of the rebuilding or restoration of the Improvements, such proceeds shall be made available in the manner and under the conditions that Beneficiary may require. If Beneficiary makes the proceeds of the award available to Grantor for restoration, the Improvements shall be restored or rebuilt in accordance with plans and specifications to be submitted to and approved by Beneficiary prior to commencement of any building or restoration. If the proceeds are made available by Beneficiary to reimburse Grantor for the cost of said rebuilding or restoration, any surplus which may remain out of said award after payment of such cost of rebuilding or restoration shall at the option of Beneficiary be applied on account of the Guaranteed Obligations or be paid to any party entitled thereto. No interest shall be allowed to Grantor on the proceeds of any award held by the Beneficiary.

26


estate described in Exhibit “A” or may not constitute a “fixture” within the meaning of the UCC, and all replacements of such property, substitutions and additions thereto and the proceeds thereof, all such property being sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Collateral”, and that a security interest in and to the Collateral and the Deposits is hereby granted to Beneficiary and the Deposits and all of Grantor’s right, title and interest therein are hereby assigned to Beneficiary, all to secure payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and to secure performance by Grantor of the terms, covenants and provisions hereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary, pursuant to the appropriate provisions of the UCC, shall have the option of proceeding with respect to the Collateral in accordance with its rights and remedies with respect to the real property, in which event the default provisions of the UCC shall not apply. The parties agree that, in the event Beneficiary shall elect to proceed with respect to the Collateral separately from the real property, ten (10) days’ notice of the sale of the Collateral shall be reasonable notice.

Grantor shall, from time to time, on request of Beneficiary, deliver to Beneficiary an inventory of the Collateral in reasonable detail. Grantor covenants and represents that all Collateral, and all replacements thereof, substitutions therefor or additions thereto, unless Beneficiary otherwise consents, now are and will be free and clear of liens (other than the lien of taxes not yet due or payable), encumbrances or security interests of others. Grantor shall, upon demand execute and deliver to Beneficiary such financing statements and other documents in form satisfactory to Beneficiary, and will do all such acts and things as Beneficiary may at any time, or from time to time, reasonably request or as may be necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain a first perfected security interest in the Deposits and Collateral, subject to no liens (other than the lien of taxes not yet due or payable), encumbrances, or security interests of others.

This Deed of Trust also constitutes a financing statement for the purpose of the UCC and shall constitute a “fixture filing” under such statutes and under the fixture filing provisions and shall be filed in the real estate records of the County in which the Land is located. For such purpose, Grantor shall be deemed to be the “Debtor” and Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the “Secured Party” and the name and address of the Debtor and the Secured Party are as set forth below.

The Grantor understands that the present ownership of the Premises and Improvements will be a material inducement to Beneficiary in the making of the Loan. Any consent by Beneficiary to a change in ownership or to a change in the composition of the Grantor may be conditioned upon payment of a transfer fee equal to three quarters of one percent (.75%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Grantor Note (being the same transfer fee as required in the First Deed of Trust) for processing such request for consent, upon an increase in the rate of interest on the unpaid balance of the Grantor Note to a then-current market rate, and/or other terms and conditions as Beneficiary may impose in its sole discretion.

The rights granted to Grantor in this subparagraph (b) are personal to Grantor, shall be extinguished after the exercise thereof, and shall not inure to the benefit of any subsequent transferee. Such transfer and assumption will not, however, release the Grantor or any guarantors from any liability to the Beneficiary without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, which consent may be given or withheld in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, but if given, may be conditioned upon, without limitation, the execution of new guaranties from principals of the transferee as Beneficiary deems necessary, execution by the principals of the transferee of Beneficiary’s standard Environmental

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Grantor’s indemnifications and representations shall not extend to Hazardous Substances which first originate on the Premises subsequent to Beneficiary’s (or any nominee’s of Beneficiary or third party purchaser’s) succession to title by virtue of a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

37


such Remedial Work to the extent required by law. All Remedial Work shall be performed by contractors approved in advance by Beneficiary (which approval in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved in advance by Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor shall not be required to undertake the Remedial Work during the pendency of any appeal of any governmental entity’s efforts to impose such investigative, remedial or other response obligations on Grantor; provided (i) Grantor has obtained Beneficiary’s prior written consent for the filing of any such appeal, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) any delay in performing such obligations shall not cause any material worsening of such Environmental Liability. Beneficiary’s prior approval shall not be required, however, if the presence or threatened presence of Hazardous Substances on, under or about the Premises poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any person or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary, in such event, Grantor shall notify Beneficiary as soon as practicable of any action taken. All costs and expenses of such Remedial Work (including without limitation the reasonable fees and expenses of Beneficiary’s counsel) incurred in connection with monitoring or review of the Remedial Work shall be paid by Grantor. If Grantor shall fail or neglect to timely commence or cause to be commenced, or shall fail to diligently prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work, Beneficiary may (but shall not be required to) cause such Remedial Work to be performed; and all costs and expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of Beneficiary’s counsel), shall be paid by Grantor to Beneficiary forthwith after demand and shall be a part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

39


penalties, charges, fees, judgments, awards, amounts paid in settlement of whatever kind or nature (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and other costs of defense) except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnified Parties.

41. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Deed of Trust and all provisions hereof shall extend to and be binding upon Grantor and its heirs, successors, grantees and assigns, any subsequent owner or owners of the Premises and all persons claiming under or through Grantor (but this clause shall not be construed as constituting the consent by Beneficiary to the transfer of any interest in the Premises), and the word “Grantor” when used herein shall include any such person and all persons liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, whether or not such persons shall have executed the Guaranty or this Deed of Trust. The word “Beneficiary”, when used herein, shall include the successors and assigns of Beneficiary, and the holder or holders, from time to time, of the Guaranty secured hereby.

40


(b) In the event one or more of the provisions contained in this Deed of Trust or the Guaranty secured hereby, or in any other security documents given to secure the payment of the Guaranty secured hereby, shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall, at the option of Beneficiary, not affect any other provision of this Deed of Trust, and this Deed of Trust shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.

(c) The Grantor will, from time to time, upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written request from Beneficiary, make, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Beneficiary such supplemental mortgages/deeds of trust/deeds to secure debt, certificates and other documents, including without limitation UCC financing statements, as may be necessary for better assuring and confirming unto Beneficiary any of the Premises, or for more particularly identifying and describing the Premises, or to preserve or protect the priority of this Deed of Trust lien, and generally do and perform such other acts and things and execute and deliver such other instruments and documents as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable by Beneficiary to carry out the intentions of this Deed of Trust.

(d) Grantor shall not by act or omission permit any building or other improvement on any premises not subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust to rely on the Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein to fulfill any municipal or governmental requirement, and Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary any and all rights to give consent for all or any portion of the Premises or any interest therein to be so used. Similarly, except for appurtenant easements which are insured in Beneficiary’s title insurance policy insuring this Deed of Trust, no building or other Improvement on the Premises shall rely on any premises not subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust or any interest therein to fulfill any governmental or municipal requirement. Grantor shall not by act or omission impair the integrity of the Premises as a single zoning lot separate and apart from all other premises. Any act or omission by Grantor which would result in a violation of any of the provisions of this Paragraph shall be void.

(e) Grantor will, from time to time, upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written request by Beneficiary, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Beneficiary, a certificate stating that this Deed of Trust is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Deed of Trust is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth such modifications) and stating the amounts then due, if any, under the Guaranty. The estoppel certificate from Grantor shall also state to the best knowledge of Grantor whether any offsets or defenses to the Guaranteed Obligations exist and if so shall identify them.

(f) The Affiliate Notes secured by the Guaranty include provisions for the assessment of a Late Charge, as defined therein. Said Late Charge shall be secured hereby as Guaranteed Obligations, as that term is used herein.

(g) Beneficiary shall have the right and option to exercise the power of sale or to commence a civil action to foreclose this Deed of Trust and to obtain a decree of foreclosure. The failure to join any tenant or tenants as party defendant or defendants in any such civil action or the failure of any decree of foreclosure and sale to foreclose their rights shall not be asserted by Grantor as a defense in any civil action instituted to collect the Guaranteed Obligations, or

 

41


any part thereof, or any deficiency remaining unpaid after foreclosure and sale of the Premises, any statute or rule of law at any time existing to the contrary notwithstanding.

(h) At the option of Beneficiary, this Deed of Trust shall become, subject and subordinate, in whole or in part (but not with respect to priority of entitlement to insurance proceeds or any award in condemnation) to any one or more, or to all, Leases upon the execution by Beneficiary and recording or registration thereof, at any time hereafter, in the Office of the Recorder in and for the county wherein the Premises are situated, or such other office as determined by Beneficiary, of a unilateral declaration to that effect.

(i) In the event that maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations is accelerated by Beneficiary because of the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and a tender of payment is made by or on behalf of Grantor in the amount necessary to satisfy the Guaranteed Obligations at any time prior to judicial confirmation or other conclusion if confirmation is not required, of a foreclosure sale or sale under a power of sale, then such tender shall constitute a prepayment under the Guaranty and shall, to the extent specified in the Guaranty, require payment of the prepayment premium provided for in the Affiliate Notes.

(j) All agreements between Grantor and Beneficiary (including, without limitation, those contained in this Deed of Trust and the Guaranty) are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Beneficiary exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under the laws of the State of Maryland. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or the Guaranty or any other documents securing the Guaranteed Obligations at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve the payment of interest exceeding the highest rate of interest permitted by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under the laws of the State of Maryland; and if for any reason whatsoever Beneficiary shall ever receive as interest an amount which would be deemed unlawful, such interest shall be applied to the payment of the last maturing installment or installments of the principal indebtedness guaranteed by the Guaranty (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest.

(k) Grantor covenants and agrees that it shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder if any of the proceeds of the Affiliate Loans will be used, or were used, as the case may be, for the purpose (whether immediate, incidental or ultimate) of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin security” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR Part 221) or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred for any such purpose.

(l) Grantor shall exert its best efforts to include a “no lien” provision in any property management agreement hereafter entered into by Grantor or its beneficiary with a property manager for the Premises, whereby the property manager waives and releases any and all mechanics’ lien rights that he, or anyone claiming through or under such manager, may have. Such property management agreement containing such “no lien” provision or a short form thereof shall, at Beneficiary’s request, be recorded in the office of the recorder’s office in and for

 

42


the County wherein the Premises is situated, or such other office as reasonably requested by Beneficiary.

(m) This Deed of Trust is a deed of trust and mortgage of both real and personal property, a security agreement, an assignment of rents and leases, a financing statement and fixture filing and a collateral assignment, and also covers proceeds and fixtures.

(n) Grantor agrees that this Deed of Trust is executed under seal.

42. ERISA Representations and Warranties. Grantor hereby represents, warrants and agrees that as of the date hereof, either (a) investors in or owners of the Grantor which are (i) employee benefit plans as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), (ii) plans defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and (iii) entities the assets of which are deemed to include plan assets pursuant to U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101 (the “Plan Asset Regulation”) (collectively, “Benefit Plan Investors”) in the aggregate do not hold twenty-five percent (25%) or more (directly or indirectly) of the value of any class of equity interest in the Grantor, or (b) the equity interests held by Benefit Plan Investors are publicly-offered securities (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation 2510.3-101(b)(2)). For purposes of this determination, the value of any equity interests held by a person (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) who has discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of the Grantor or any person who provides investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to such assets, or an affiliate (as defined in U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.2-101(f)(3)) of such person, shall be disregarded. Grantor further represents, warrants and agrees that at all times during the term of the Affiliate Loans Grantor shall not be deemed to include plan assets. If at any time during the entire term of the Affiliate Loans any of the investors in or owners of Grantor shall include a Benefit Plan Investor, and the Plan Asset Regulation is implicated, Grantor shall as soon as reasonably possible following an investment by such Benefit Plan Investor provide Beneficiary with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary indicating that the assets of Grantor are not deemed to include plan assets pursuant to the Plan Asset Regulation. In lieu of such opinion, the Beneficiary may in its sole discretion accept such other assurances from Grantor as are necessary to satisfy Beneficiary in its sole discretion that the assets of Grantor are not deemed to include plan assets pursuant to the Plan Asset Regulation.

Grantor further represents, warrants and agrees that, during the term of the Affiliate Loans, a governmental plan, within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA (a “Governmental Plan”), shall become an investor in or owner of Grantor, only if a determination has been made that such Governmental Plan’s investment in or ownership of Grantor should not constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction under any applicable state law (for purposes of this Paragraph, a “Prohibited Transaction”) that (i) applies to the Governmental Plan and (ii) is similar to the prohibited transaction rules under Section 406 of ERISA. If such Governmental Plan’s investment in or ownership of Grantor nevertheless results in a nonexempt Prohibited Transaction that subjects Beneficiary to liability for such Prohibited Transaction, Grantor will promptly take appropriate action to correct such Prohibited Transaction and will reimburse Beneficiary for any penalty or tax Beneficiary is required to pay in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the breach by Grantor of the foregoing representation and

 

43


warranty will not be an “Event of Default” under the Loan Documents unless such Governmental Plan’s investment in or ownership of Grantor is deemed by the applicable governmental authority to be a “Prohibited Transaction” that actually subjects Beneficiary to liability as a direct result thereof and Grantor shall have failed to correct the same pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph.

Grantor understands that the representations and warranties herein are a material inducement to Beneficiary to make the Affiliate Loans, without which Beneficiary would be unwilling to make the Affiliate Loans.

43. Concerning the Trustee.

(a) 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 consult with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Beneficiary) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution and interpretation of the Loan Documents, 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 his or her agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his or her 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 that 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 Premises for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Premises. 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 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 compensation due to Trustee hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and save and hold Trustee harmless against, any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee’s duties.

(b) Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, and shall be segregated from any other moneys of Trustee.

(c) Successor Trustees. Trustee may resign by the giving of notice of such resignation in writing to Beneficiary. If Trustee shall die, resign or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or if, for any reason, Beneficiary, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion and with or without cause, shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee or multiple substitute trustees, or successive substitute trustees or successive multiple substitute trustees, to

 

44


act instead of 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 on 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 his 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. Any prior election to act jointly or severally shall not prevent either or both of such multiple substitute Trustees from subsequently executing, jointly or severally, any or all of the provisions hereof.

(d) Substitution or Resignation of Trustee.

(i) Beneficiary may, without notice or cause and in Beneficiary’s sole discretion by complying with the provisions of applicable statutes, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder to execute this Deed of Trust or may fill a vacancy in the position of Trustee hereunder. Upon such appointment, and without conveyance to the successor Trustee, the latter shall be vested with the title, powers and duties conferred upon any Trustee herein named or acting hereunder. Each such appointment and substitution shall be made by written instrument executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary, containing reference to this Deed of Trust and its place of record, which, when recorded in the office in which this Deed of Trust is recorded, shall be conclusive proof of the proper appointment of such successor Trustee.

(ii) Trustee may resign by written instrument executed by Trustee, containing reference to this Deed of Trust and its place of record, which, when recorded in the office in which this Deed of Trust is recorded, and when delivered to Beneficiary in accordance with Paragraph 22 hereof, shall be conclusive proof of the resignation of such Trustee. Upon such resignation, Beneficiary may appoint a successor Trustee in accordance with Paragraph 43(d) hereof.

(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 Trustee or substitute Trustee such estates, rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by 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.

By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, or fulfilled or to be given to Trustee or Beneficiary pursuant to the Loan 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.

(h) Trustee’s Commission. Immediately upon the first insertion of any advertisement or notice of any such sale, there shall become due and owing by the Grantor all expenses incident to such advertisement or notice, all court costs and all expenses incident to any foreclosure proceedings brought under this Deed of Trust or otherwise in connection with such sale, and no party shall be required to receive only the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations then secured hereby unless it is accompanied by a tender of payment of such expenses, costs and commissions.

(i) Conveyance by Trustee/Defeasance. Upon receipt by Trustee of written notice from Beneficiary that the Guaranteed Obligations has been fully paid pursuant to the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents and the obligations fully performed in accordance with the provisions hereof and the other Loan Documents, Trustee shall reconvey the Premises, without warranty, to Grantor or such person or persons lawfully entitled thereto.

44. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

45. Waiver by Grantor. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELEASES ANY REQUIREMENT OR OBLIGATION THAT BENEFICIARY OR TRUSTEES PRESENT EVIDENCE OR OTHERWISE PROCEED BEFORE ANY COURT, CLERK, OR OTHER JUDICIAL OR QUASI-JUDICIAL BODY BEFORE EXERCISE OF THE POWERS OF SALE CONTAINED IN THIS DEED OF TRUST AND IN THE MARYLAND CODE.

46. Waivers and Agreements Regarding Remedies. To the full extent Grantor may do so, Grantor hereby waives and relinquishes the following:

(a) Marshaling, Etc. All rights to a marshaling of the assets of Grantor, including the Premises, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure, and agrees not to assert any right under any law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of

 

46


decedents, or other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Beneficiary under the terms of the Loan Documents to a sale of the Premises for the collection of the Guaranteed Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Beneficiary to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Premises in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

(b) Rights and Remedies of Sureties. Any and all rights and remedies that Grantor may have or be able to assert by reason of the provisions of any laws pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties.

Notwithstanding the personal liability of Grantor for the matters specifically set forth above, in no event shall any partner, member, shareholder, direct or indirect beneficial owners, officer, director or employee of Grantor, have any liability, personal or otherwise, to Beneficiary for such matters.

47. Additional Collateral.

(a) Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder (such Guaranteed Obligations and other obligations collectively called the “Obligations”) are secured by the Premises and various other collateral including, without limitation, at the time of execution of this Deed of Trust certain personal property of Grantor and other parties described in the Loan Documents. The Grantor specifically acknowledges and agrees that the Premises, in and of itself, if foreclosed or realized upon may not be sufficient to satisfy the outstanding amount of the Obligations. Accordingly, Grantor acknowledges that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it is in the Grantor’s contemplation that the other collateral pledged to secure the Obligations may be pursued by the Beneficiary in separate proceedings in the various states, counties and other countries where such collateral may be located and additionally that Grantor and other parties liable for payment of the Obligations will remain liable for any deficiency judgments in addition to any amounts the Beneficiary may realize on sales of other property or any other collateral given as security for the Obligations except as otherwise set forth in this Deed of Trust. Specifically, and without limitation of the foregoing, it is agreed that it is the intent of the parties hereto that in the event of a foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, the Obligations shall not be deemed merged into any judgment of foreclosure, but rather shall remain outstanding. It is the further intent and understanding of the parties that the Beneficiary, following an Event of Default, may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, pursue all of its Collateral with the Obligations remaining outstanding and in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment of foreclosure or any other judgment which the Beneficiary may obtain.

(b) The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Premises and the other collateral which may from time to time be encumbered by the other Loan Documents may be located in more than one state, county or country and therefore Grantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, waives and relinquishes any and all rights it may have, whether at law or equity, to require the Beneficiary to proceed to enforce or exercise any rights, powers and remedies it may have under the Loan Documents in any particular manner, in any particular order, or in any particular state or other jurisdiction. Furthermore, Grantor acknowledges and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that the Beneficiary shall be allowed to

 

47


enforce payment and performance of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers provided under this Deed of Trust, or the other Loan Documents or under any provision of law, by one or more proceedings, (whether contemporaneous, consecutive or both) in any one or more states, counties or countries in which the security is located. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the acceptance of this Deed of Trust or any Loan Document nor the enforcement in one state, county or country, whether by court action, power of sale, or otherwise, shall prejudice or in any way limit or preclude enforcement of such documents through one or more additional proceedings, in that state or in any other state, county or country.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor further agrees that any particular remedy or proceeding, including, without limitation, foreclosure through court action (in a state or federal court) or power of sale, may be brought and prosecuted in the local or federal courts of any one or more states as to all or any part of the Premises or the collateral encumbered by the Loan Documents, wherever located, without regard to the fact that any one or more prior or contemporaneous proceedings have been situated elsewhere with respect to the same or any other part of the Premises and the other collateral encumbered by the Loan Documents.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Beneficiary may resort to any other security held by the Beneficiary for the payment of the Obligations in such order and manner as the Beneficiary may elect.

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Beneficiary shall be under no duty to Grantor or others, including, without limitation, the holder of any junior, senior or subordinate deed of trust, deed to secure debt or mortgage on the Premises or any part thereof or on any other security held by Beneficiary, to exercise or exhaust all or any of the rights, powers and remedies available to Beneficiary.

48. Premises Release Privilege. Grantor shall be permitted to obtain a release of the Premises from this Deed of Trust upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.07 (Property Release Privilege”) or Section 3.08 (“Substitution of Loan”) in the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any release of the Premises or interests therein permitted under the First Deed of Trust shall be deemed permitted hereunder without further consent of, or payment to, Beneficiary.

49. Limited Guaranties; Other Security Instruments; Cross-Default/ Cross-Collateralization. As provided for in the Loan Agreement, (i) Grantor and Affiliate Entities have executed and delivered those certain Limited Guaranties dated on or about the date hereof with respect to the Affiliate Loans, and (ii) Affiliate Entities have executed and delivered that certain Limited Guaranty dated on or about the date hereof with respect to the loan evidenced by the Grantor Note (such Limited Guaranties, together with all guaranties issued and accepted in substitution or exchange therefor, and as they may from time to time be modified, extended, renewed, consolidated, restated or replaced, are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the Affiliate Guaranties and individually as an Affiliate Guaranty). The Affiliate Guaranties are secured by, among other things, those certain Deeds of Trust [or Mortgages, as applicable], Security Agreements, Financing Statements and Fixture Filings

 

48


(Second Priority), Deeds to Secure Debt and Security Agreements (Second Priority), and Assignments of Rents and Leases (Second Priority) executed and delivered this date by each of the guarantors under such Affiliate Guaranties (collectively, such other Deeds of Trust [or Mortgages, as applicable], Security Agreements, Financing Statements and Fixture Filings (Second Priority), Deeds to Secure Debt and Security Agreements (Second Priority), and Assignments of Rents and Leases (Second Priority), together with any other instruments or agreements securing the duties, obligations, and covenants under the Affiliate Guaranties, as any of the same may from time to time be modified, extended, renewed, consolidated, restated or replaced, are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the Other Security Instruments).

Any breach, default, event of default or failure of performance (however denominated) under any of the Other Security Instruments or any other loan documents relating to the Affiliate Loans not cured within any applicable notice or cure period shall constitute and be an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at its option, exercise any one or more of the rights, powers, and remedies hereunder and under the Other Security Instruments (including, without limitation, any power of sale or other rights, powers, and remedies with respect to the foreclosure or other sale of the Premises hereunder or any “Premises” to which such Other Security Instruments relate), or any of them, either concurrently or independently, and in such other and further manner as Beneficiary may elect, and Beneficiary may apply the proceeds received therefrom to the Guaranteed Obligations or to any other indebtedness secured by the Other Security Instruments or in any other manner provided for in this Deed of Trust or the Other Security Instruments, as the case may be, or otherwise as may be provided at law or in equity, without waiving or affecting Beneficiary’s rights, powers, and remedies under this Deed of Trust or any such Other Security Instruments.

Beneficiary shall have the right to enforce this Deed of Trust and the Other Security Instruments, or any of them, in such order and at such time as Beneficiary shall in its sole discretion elect. Beneficiary shall not be required to enforce this Deed of Trust or foreclose against the Premises, or against any collateral other than the Premises given as security for the Guaranteed Obligations, as a condition to enforcing the Other Security Instruments or any of them with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, and if Beneficiary elects to foreclose this Deed of Trust, it may do so as to all or any part of the Premises without being required to enforce or foreclose this Deed of Trust or the Other Security Instruments, or any of them, as to all or any portions of the Premises or all or any portions of such other collateral or as to all or any part of any “Premises” under any Other Security Instruments or all or any portion of any other collateral given as security thereunder.

If Beneficiary shall be successful in foreclosing this Deed of Trust, and shall bid at a foreclosure sale, then only the amount of the successful bid shall be applied to reduce the Guaranteed Obligations, and all other amounts shall remain outstanding and shall be secured by and enforceable against other security provided under the Other Security Instruments. Grantor further agrees that if Beneficiary shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosures or other proceedings against a portion of the Premises or against any other collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or if Beneficiary shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against any portion of the Premises or any such collateral, or shall have enforced any power of sale against any portion of the Premises or any such collateral, then,

 

49


whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments of sale were obtained in or outside the state in which this Deed of Trust is recorded, Beneficiary may commence or continue foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this Deed of Trust against all or any part of the Premises or any such other collateral, and Grantor expressly waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or exercise of any other rights, powers, and 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. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to foreclose this Deed of Trust nor the exercise of any other rights, powers, or remedies hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Beneficiary or conduct of any sale in any such proceedings shall prejudice, limit or preclude Beneficiary’s right to commence or continue one or more foreclosures, sales or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other portion of the Premises or any other such collateral (either in or outside the state in which this Deed of Trust is recorded), and Grantor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other proceedings or exercise of any rights, powers, or remedies in such proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Deed of Trust and other proceedings or any action under this Deed of Trust on such basis.

50. Subordination to First Deed of Trust. This Deed of Trust is junior and subordinate to the First Deed of Trust and the lien, interest, rights and privileges of Beneficiary thereunder. As to any matter requiring Grantor’s consent or approval, such consent or approval shall be deemed given to the extent the holder of the First Deed of Trust gives its consent or approval. Any actions permitted by the holder of the First Deed of Trust are deemed permitted by Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust.

IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE SIGNING. THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY BECAUSE ONLY THOSE TERMS IN WRITING ARE ENFORCEABLE. GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THERE ARE NO OTHER TERMS OR ORAL PROMISES NOT CONTAINED IN THIS WRITTEN CONTRACT AND NO SUCH OTHER TERMS AND PROVISIONS MAY BE LEGALLY ENFORCED. YOU MAY CHANGE THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT ONLY BY ANOTHER WRITTEN AGREEMENT.

Grantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this instrument at the time of execution hereof.
