If any part of the Debt (hereinafter defined) is ----------- not actually received by Lender by close of business on the fifth (5th) day after the date on which it was due, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount (the "Late Charge") equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid portion ----------- of the missed payment or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, to defray the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. All such Late Charges shall be automatically due and payable without notice or demand and shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents. 4. Security; Defined Terms; Incorporation by Reference. This Note --------------------------------------------------- is secured by the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents. The term "Security Instrument" as used in this Note shall mean either the Mortgage, ------------------- Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Filing, or the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Filing, executed and delivered by Borrower contemporaneously with this Note and which secures the Debt. The term "Other Security Documents" means all documents ------------------------ other than this Note or the Security Instrument now or hereafter executed and/or delivered by Borrower and/or others and to or in favor of Lender, which wholly or partially secure, evidence or guarantee payment of the Debt, provide for any indemnity in favor of or payment to Lender related to the Debt, this Note or the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Security Instrument), provide for any escrow/holdback arrangements or for any actions to be completed by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof, or are otherwise related to the loan evidenced by this Note. All amounts due and payable under this Note, together with all sums due under the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents, including any applicable Prepayment Consideration (hereinafter defined) and all applicable attorney fees and costs, are collectively referred to herein as the "Debt." ---- Where appropriate, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the words "Lender" and "Borrower" shall include ------ -------- their respective successors, assigns, heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators. 5. Prepayment/Defeasance. --------------------- (a) When Permitted. Prior to July 1, 2013 (the "Early Payment -------------- ------------- Date"), Borrower shall not have the right to prepay all or any portion of the ---- Debt at any time during the term of this Note (except for any prepayment permitted under the Security Instrument in the event of a casualty or condemnation). No Prepayment Consideration (hereinafter defined) will be due from any prepayment of this Note (in whole but not in part) on or after the Early Payment Date. In the event of a prepayment on or after such date, Borrower shall pay, together with the amount of such prepayment, an amount equal to (i) all accrued and unpaid interest, and (ii) any other sums due under this Note, the Security Instrument or any Other Security Document. Additionally, any such prepayment not actually received by Lender before 5:00 p.m., central time, on the 5th day of any calendar month must also include the interest which would have accrued on the amount of such prepayment during the entire calendar month in which the prepayment is made. (b) Notice. Borrower may give written notice to Lender specifying the ------ date, which date must be on or after the Early Payment Date, on which a full prepayment of the Debt is to be made (the date of any prepayment hereunder, whether pursuant to such notice or not, and whether voluntary or involuntary, being herein called the "Prepayment Date"). Lender shall receive this notice not --------------- more than sixty (60) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Prepayment Date. If any such notice of prepayment is given, the entire Debt, including any applicable Prepayment Consideration (as defined below), shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. (c) Prepayment After Event of Default. If following the occurrence of --------------------------------- any Event of Default, Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt at any time prior to or after a sale of the Mortgaged Property, either through foreclosure or the exercise of the other remedies available to Lender under the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents, such tender by Borrower shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment under this Note in the amount tendered and in such case Borrower shall also pay to Lender, with respect to the amount tendered, the applicable Prepayment Consideration set forth in this Note, which Prepayment Consideration shall be immediately due and payable. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any such prepayment of this Note unless it is accompanied by an amount (the "Prepayment Consideration") ------------------------ equal to the greater of: (x) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the time of prepayment; or (y) the Yield Maintenance Amount (hereinafter defined). Lender shall not be obligated to accept any such tender unless it is accompanied by all Prepayment Consideration due in connection therewith. Borrower acknowledges that the Prepayment Consideration is a bargained for consideration and not a penalty, and Borrower recognizes that Lender would incur substantial additional costs and expenses in the event of a prepayment of the Debt and that the Prepayment Consideration compensates Lender for such costs and expenses (including without limitation, the loss of Lender's investment opportunity during the period from the date such tender is accepted until the Maturity Date). Borrower agrees that Lender shall not, as a condition to receiving the Prepayment Consideration, be obligated to actually reinvest the amount prepaid in any treasury obligation or in any other manner whatsoever. Except as otherwise set forth in the Security Instrument, no Prepayment Consideration will be due for involuntary prepayments resulting from any Casualty (as defined in the Security Instrument) or Condemnation (as defined in the Security Instrument). Yield Maintenance Amount. The "Yield Maintenance Amount" shall mean the ------------------------ ------------------------ present value, as of the Prepayment Date, of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest from the Prepayment Date through the Maturity Date (including any balloon payment) determined by discounting such payments at the Discount Rate (hereinafter defined), less the amount of principal being prepaid. The term "Discount Rate" shall mean the rate which, when compounded monthly, is ------------- equivalent to the Treasury Rate (hereinafter defined) when compounded semi-annually. The term "Treasury Rate" shall mean the yield calculated by the ------------- linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest Rates under the heading U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities for the week ending prior to the Prepayment Date, of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one shorter) most nearly approximating the Maturity Date. (In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the Treasury Rate.) Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required Prepayment Consideration. (d) Defeasance. Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, ---------- at any time during the Defeasance Period (as defined below), Borrower may obtain a release of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Security Instrument only upon the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice shall be given to Lender specifying a date (the "Defeasance Date") on --------------- which the Defeasance Collateral (as defined below) is to be delivered, such date being the first day of the month; (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums due under this Note, the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents up to the Defeasance Date, including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with such defeasance, including, without limitation, any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining and reviewing the Defeasance Collateral, the preparation of the Defeasance Security Agreement (as defined below) and related documentation, accountant fees, and investment advisor fees, all of which shall be paid in full on or prior to the Defeasance Date; (iii) no Event of Default, and no event or condition that, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall exist either at the time Borrower gives notice of the Defeasance Date to Lender or on the Defeasance Date; (iv) Borrower shall deliver to Lender on or before the Defeasance Date direct, non-callable obligations of the United States of America in such form and amount that provide for the payments prior, but as close as possible, to all successive regularly scheduled monthly payment dates, including the Maturity Date, with such payments being equal to or greater than the amount of the corresponding monthly payment required to be paid under this Note (hereafter, "Scheduled --------- Defeasance Payments") for the balance of the term hereof and the ------------------- amount required to be paid on the Maturity Date (such obligations are collectively and singularly referred to herein as "Defeasance ---------- Collateral") each of which shall be duly endorsed by the holder ---------- thereof as directed by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance wholly satisfactory to Lender (including, without limitation, such instrument as may be required by the depository institution holding such securities or the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to perfect a first priority security interest in such Defeasance Collateral in favor of Lender. The Defeasance Collateral may be purchased by Lender on Borrower's behalf, in which case Borrower shall deposit with Lender at least three days before the Defeasance Date a sum sufficient, in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, to purchase the Defeasance Collateral. Any sums in excess of the amount necessary to purchase the Defeasance Collateral shall be remitted to Borrower upon release of the Mortgaged Property. (v) Borrower shall deliver the following to Lender, at Borrower's cost, on or prior to the Defeasance Date: (A) a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, creating a first priority security interest in favor of Lender in the Defeasance Collateral (the "Defeasance Security Agreement"); ----------------------------- (B) a certificate of Borrower certifying that all of the requirements hereunder for a defeasance have been satisfied; (C) an opinion of counsel in form and substance and delivered by counsel satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion stating, among other things, (x) that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral, (y) that the Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms and (z) that the defeasance will not cause the entity which holds this Note to fail to qualify as a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" (a "REMIC"), within the meaning of ----- Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time or any successor statute (the "Code"); ---- (D) an opinion of an independent certified public accountant acceptable to Lender representing and warranting to Lender that the Defeasance Collateral will generate monthly amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments including the amount required to be paid on the Maturity Date of this Note, and such other approvals required by Lender; (E) evidence in writing from each of the Rating Agencies to the effect that such release will not result in a qualifi- cation, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating in effect immediately prior to the Defeasance Date for any securities or "Pass-Through Certificates" issued pursuant to the terms of a trust and servicing agreement in the event that this Note or any interest therein is included in a REMIC or other securitization vehicle; (F) such other certificates, opinions, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably require; and (G) upon approval by Lender of the schedule of Defeasance Collateral to be delivered to Lender, Borrower shall (i) pay Lender a nonrefundable fee, in an amount reasonably determined by Lender, as compensation for the review, analysis and processing of the defeasance request; and (ii) if required by Lender, deposit with Lender an amount estimated by Lender to be sufficient to fund all other fees, costs and expenses related to the defeasance, including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and rating agency fees, if any and expenses together with all expenses and costs associated with the release of the lien on the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall be responsible for all fees, costs and expenses associated with the defeasance which, if not covered by the above deposit, shall be paid to Lender no later than the Defeasance Date. Upon compliance with the foregoing requirements relating to the delivery of the Defeasance Collateral, the Mortgaged Property shall be released from the lien of the Security Instrument and the Defeasance Collateral shall constitute collateral which shall secure this Note and the Debt. The "Defeasance Period" shall mean the period of time: (1) commencing ----------------- on the date which is the later to occur of: (A) two (2) years after the "start-up day", within the meaning of Section 860(G)(a)(9) of the Code, of the REMIC that holds this Note; and (B) three (3) years after the date of the first regularly scheduled monthly payment due hereunder, and (2) ending on the Early Payment Date. The "Rating Agencies" shall mean, collectively, Standard and --------------- Poor's Ratings Services, Moody's Investors Service, Inc., and Fitch ICBA, Inc., and their respective successors and assigns, to the extent each of the foregoing performed credit rating services for the REMIC or other securitization vehicle which owns this Note. (e) Successor Borrower. In connection with a defeasance under this ------------------ Section, Borrower shall establish or designate a successor entity (the "Successor Borrower") which shall be a single purpose entity approved by Lender ------------------ in its sole discretion. Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to this Note together with the Defeasance Collateral to such Successor Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under this Note and the Security Instrument and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under such documents except for any such representations that specifically survive the defeasance. Borrower shall pay $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under this Note and the Security Instrument. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender's attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred in connection with establishment of the Successor Borrower. (f) Defeasance Collateral Account. All cash from interest and ----------------------------- principal payments paid on the Defeasance Collateral shall be paid over to Lender for each Scheduled Defeasance Payment and applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to principal. Any cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral not needed to pay accrued and unpaid interest or principal shall be retained in a designated account established by Borrower or Successor Borrower as the case may be, (the "Defeasance Collateral Account") ----------------------------- which shall constitute additional collateral for the loan evidenced hereby. The Defeasance Collateral Account shall contain only cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral. Borrower or Successor Borrower, as applicable, shall be the owner of the Defeasance Collateral Account and shall report all income accrued thereon for federal, state and local income tax purposes and shall pay all costs and expenses associated with opening and maintaining the account and may pay all costs and expenses associated with maintaining the Successor Borrower from such account. Lender shall have no responsibility to fund any Scheduled Defeasance Payments and shall not be liable in any way by reason of any insufficiency in the Defeasance Collateral Account. Upon an assumption by Successor Borrower acceptable to Lender, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under this Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement and, to the extent such documents relate to the Mortgaged Property, the Other Security Documents. (g) Release of Security Instrument Following Defeasance. Upon --------------------------------------------------- compliance with the requirements hereunder for a defeasance, the Mortgaged Property shall be released from the lien of the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents, and the Defeasance Collateral shall constitute collateral securing this Note. Lender will, at Borrower's expense, execute and deliver any agreements reasonably requested by Borrower to release the lien of the Security Instrument from the Mortgaged Property. (h) Purchase of Defeasance Collateral. In the event of purchase by --------------------------------- Lender of the Defeasance Collateral, such purchase may, in Lender's sole and absolute discretion be through an affiliate of Lender or a third party entity. Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of any brokerage or other transaction fees in connection with such purchase. 6. Default. An "Event of Default" shall occur if: ------- (a) Borrower fails to make the full and punctual payment of any amount payable hereunder or under the Security Instrument or Other Security Documents, which failure is not cured on or before the fifth (5th) day after the date of written notice from Lender to Borrower of such failure; (b) Borrower fails to pay the entire outstanding principal balance hereunder, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, on the date when due, whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration or prepayment or otherwise; (c) an Event of Default (as defined in the Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents) has occurred under the Security Instrument and/or Other Security Documents. 7. Acceleration. The whole of the Debt, including without limitation, ------------ the principal sum of this Note, all accrued interest and all other sums due under this Note, the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents, together with any applicable Prepayment Consideration, shall become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender, without notice, at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default. 8. Default Interest. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default ---------------- (including without limitation, the failure of Borrower to pay the Debt in full on the Maturity Date), Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay interest on the entire unpaid principal balance at the rate (the "Default ------- Rate") equal to the greater of: (a) four percent (4%) above the Applicable ---- Interest Rate; or (b) four percent (4%) above the Prime Rate (hereinafter defined) in effect at the time of the occurrence of the Event of Default; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the -------- ------- Default Rate exceed the Maximum Rate (hereinafter defined). The term "Prime ----- Rate" shall mean the prime rate reported in the Money Rates section of The Wall ---- Street Journal for the date (the "Default Rate Calculation Date") upon which the ----------------------------- Event of Default occurred, or if no publication occurs upon such date, then the date of publication immediately preceding the date of the Event of Default. In the event that The Wall Street Journal should cease or temporarily interrupt publication, the term "Prime Rate" shall mean the daily average prime rate published upon the Default Rate Calculation Date in another business newspaper, or business section of a newspaper, of national standing chosen by Lender. In the event that a prime rate is no longer generally published or is limited, regulated or administered by a governmental or quasi-governmental body, then Lender shall select a comparable interest rate index which is readily available and verifiable to Borrower but is beyond Lender's control. The Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual payment in full of the Debt. This charge shall be added to the Debt, and shall be deemed secured by the Security Instrument. This clause, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the Maturity Date, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default. 9. Attorney Fees. In the event that Lender employs attorney(s) to ------------- collect the Debt, to enforce the provisions of this Note or to protect or foreclose the security herefor, Borrower agrees to pay Lender's attorney fees and disbursements, whether or not suit be brought. Such fees shall be immediately due and payable. 10. Limit of Validity. All interest and other charges, fees, goods, ----------------- things in action or any other sums, things of value and reimbursable costs that Borrower is or may become obligated to pay or reimburse in connection with the loan evidenced by this Note, and which may be deemed to constitute "interest" within the meaning of Arizona Revised Statutes Section 44-1201 et. seq. shall be deemed to constitute items of interest in addition to the rate(s) of interest specified above, which Borrower hereby contracts in writing to pay. This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest or other charges on the Debt at a rate which may subject Lender to civil or criminal liability as a result of such rate exceeding the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted to pay by applicable law the "Maximum Rate"). If by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any ------------ required or obligated to pay interest or other charges on the Debt at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest due under this Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Rate and any previous payments in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. 11. No Oral Amendments. This Note may not be modified, amended, ------------------ waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. 12. Exculpation. Subject to the provisions of this Section, Borrower's ----------- liability under this Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents shall only extend to the Mortgaged Property and other collateral given to secure the Debt, and Lender shall not enforce such liability against any other asset, property or funds of Borrower; provided, however, the foregoing shall not: (a) impair the right of Lender to bring suit and obtain personal, recourse judgments against any person or entity (including Borrower) relating to any losses sustained by Lender in connection with any fraud, intentional misrepresentation, waste, or misappropriation of tenant security deposits or rents collected more than one (1) month in advance by Borrower; (b) impair the right of Lender to name, and obtain a judgment against any person or entity (including Borrower) to the extent required by law to either obtain a judgment of specific performance with respect to any of the provisions of this Note, the Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents, or to foreclose the Security Instrument and obtain title to the Mortgaged Property and other collateral given to secure the Debt; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of, or impair the right of Lender to bring suit and obtain personal, recourse judgments against any person or entity (including Borrower) to enforce any guaranty, indemnity or release of liability made by such person or entity (whether made in this Note, the Security Instrument, any of the Other Security Documents or in any other separate agreement); (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases and Rents executed in connection herewith; or (f) affect the validity or enforceability of, or impair the right of Lender to bring suit and obtain personal, recourse judgments against any person or entity (including Borrower) relating to any losses sustained by Lender in connection with any of the provisions of this Note, the Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents requiring that: (i) any person or entity maintain any insurance over any of the Mortgaged Property, or (ii) any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards be paid to Lender; or (g) impair the right of Lender to bring suit and obtain personal, recourse judgments against any person or entity (including Borrower) for the full amount of the Debt if the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall become an asset in: (i) a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or (ii) an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding: (A) which is commenced by any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Borrower (the "Borrowing Group") or (B) in which any member of the Borrowing --------------- Group objects to a motion by Lender for relief from any stay or injunction from the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or any other remedial action permitted under this Note, the Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents. Items (a) through (g) above are collectively the "Non-Recourse Exceptions". To ----------------------- the extent Borrower is a general partnership and Lender is required under applicable law to pursue its remedies against the persons or entities constituting Borrower, each reference to the phrase "(including Borrower)" in the Non-Recourse Exceptions shall be deemed to read "(including Borrower or any person or entity constituting Borrower)". Borrower's liability under the Non-Recourse Exceptions, excepting item (g), shall be limited to the amount of any losses or damages sustained by Lender in connection with such Non-Recourse Exceptions. Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Security Instrument or to require that all of the Mortgaged Property and other collateral given to secure the Debt shall continue to secure all of the Debt 13. Assignment. Lender, and its successors, endorsees and assigns, may ---------- freely transfer and assign this Note. Borrower's right to transfer its rights and obligations with respect to the Debt, and to be released from liability under this Note, shall be governed by the Security Instrument. 14. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Note shall be governed and ---------------------------- construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the real property encumbered by the Security Instrument is located. Borrower hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the state courts located in said state and the federal courts of the United States of America located in said state for the enforcement of Borrower's obligations hereunder and waives any and all personal rights under the law of any other state to object to jurisdiction within such state for the purposes of any action, suit, proceeding or litigation to enforce such obligations of Borrower. 15. Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one --------------------------- person or entity, the obligations and liabilities of each such person or entity shall be joint and several. 16. Waiver of Presentment, Etc. Borrower and all others who may become -------------------------- liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt do hereby severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and notice of intent to accelerate the maturity hereof (and of such acceleration), except to the extent that specific notices are required by this Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents. 17. No Waiver. Any failure by Lender to insist upon strict performance --------- by Borrower of any of the provisions of this Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of this Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents, and Lender shall have the right thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Borrower of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents. 18. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, any notice, ------- consent, request or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing, addressed to the other party as set forth below (or to such other address or person as either party or person entitled to notice may by notice to the other party specify), and shall be: (a) personally delivered; (b) delivered by Federal Express or other comparable overnight delivery service; or (c) transmitted by United States certified mail, return receipt requested with postage prepaid; to: Lender: PNC Bank, National Association 10851 Mastin, Suite 300 Overland Park, Kansas 66210 Attention: Closing Department Borrower: Deer Valley Financial Center, LLC Huntington Company, L.L.C.

Borrower hereby represents and warrants to and covenants and agrees with Lender as follows: 1. Payment of Debt and Incorporation of Covenants, Conditions and -------------------------------------------------------------- Agreements. Borrower will pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in ---------- the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents. All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in: (a) the Note; and (b) all and any documents (other than the Note or this Security Instrument)(collectively the "Other Security Documents") now or hereafter executed by Borrower and/or others ------------------------ in favor of Lender, which wholly or partially secure or guaranty payment of the Note, provide for any indemnity in favor of or payment to Lender related to the Debt, the Note or the Mortgaged Property, provide for any escrow/holdback arrangements or for any actions to be completed by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof, or are otherwise related to the loan secured by this Security Instrument (the "Loan"), are hereby made a part of this Security Instrument to ---- the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither this Security Instrument nor any of the Other Security Documents shall secure the payment of any Environmental Losses (as defined in that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement executed in favor of Lender contemporaneously herewith). 2. Warranty of Title. Borrower warrants that Borrower has good ----------------- title to the Mortgaged Property and has the right to deed, mortgage, give, grant a security interest in, bargain, sell, alienate, convey, confirm, pledge, assign and hypothecate the same and that Borrower possesses an unencumbered fee estate in the Premises and the Improvements and that it owns the Mortgaged Property free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and charges whatsoever except for those exceptions shown in the title insurance policy in favor of Lender insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and the validity and priority of the lien of this Security Instrument to Lender against the claims of all persons whomsoever. 3. Insurance Requirements. ---------------------- (a) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, will keep the Mortgaged Property insured during the entire term of this Security Instrument for the mutual benefit of Borrower and Lender against loss or damage by fire and against loss or damage by other risks and hazards covered by a standard extended coverage insurance policy providing "special" form coverage including, but not limited to, fire, lightning, explosion, windstorm or hail, smoke, aircraft or vehicles, riot or civic commotion, terrorism, vandalism, malicious mischief, burglary, theft, sprinkler leakage, sinkhole collapse, volcanic action, falling objects, weight of snow, ice or sleet or water damage, and to the extent required by Lender, earthquake or any other risks insured against by persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property. Such insurance shall be in an amount not less than the lesser of (i) the then full replacement cost of the Mortgaged Property, without deduction for physical depreciation, or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Debt; but in any event an amount sufficient to ensure that the insurer issuing said policies would not deem Borrower a co-insurer under said policies. The policies of insurance carried in accordance with this paragraph shall be paid annually in advance, shall contain the "Replacement Cost Endorsement" with a waiver of depreciation, and, if required by Lender, shall contain "Ordinance and Law" coverage. (b) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, for the mutual benefit of Borrower and Lender, shall also obtain and maintain during the entire term of this Security Instrument the following policies of insurance: (i) Flood insurance (meeting the current requirement of the Federal Insurance Administration) if any part of the Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (and any successor act thereto) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Debt; (B) the maximum amount of coverage available to Borrower under the National Flood Insurance Program; or (C) the then full replacement cost of the Mortgaged Property, without deduction for physical depreciation. (ii) General liability insurance on an "occurrence basis", in the amount of at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, $2,000,000.00 general aggregate against claims for bodily injury or property damage occurring on, in or about the Mortgaged Property. (iii) Business Income and/or Rental Value insurance in an amount equal to the sum of: (A) the total anticipated rental income (including percentage rents) payable by all tenants under Leases (whether or not such Leases are terminable in the event of a fire or casualty); (B) the total amount of all Taxes (hereinafter defined), Other Charges (hereinafter defined) or similar charges which a tenant is obligated to pay on Borrower's behalf; and (C) an amount equal to the fair rental value of any portion of the Mortgaged Property occupied by Borrower; for a period of at least twelve (12) months after the date of the fire or other casualty in question. The amount of such insurance shall be increased from time to time during the term of this Security Instrument as and when Lender requires, to reflect all rent, additional rent, increased rent and increased additional rent payable by all new or renewal tenants, and all increased profits or other income from the Mortgaged Property. No exclusions shall be allowed for any risks specifically enumerated in subsection (a) above. (iv) Boiler and Machinery Insurance if any steam boiler, air conditioning equipment, high pressure piping, machinery and equipment pressure vessels or similar apparatus now exists or is hereafter installed in the Improvements (excepting any such apparatus located within and serving individual residential units of the Improvements, if any). (v) Such other insurance as may from time to time be required by Lender in order to protect its interests. (c) All policies of insurance (individually, a "Policy", and ------ collectively the "Policies") required pursuant to this Security Instrument: -------- (i) shall be issued by an insurer satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion; (ii) shall contain a mortgagee non-contribution clause satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, naming Lender as the person to which all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iii) shall be maintained throughout the term of this Security Instrument without cost to Lender; (iv) shall be assigned and delivered to Lender; (v) shall contain such provisions as Lender deems necessary or desirable to protect its interest including, without limitation, endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said Policies and that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any modification, termination or cancellation of the applicable Policy; and (vi) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall be approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrower shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the "Insurance --------- Premiums") as the same become due and payable. Not later than thirty (30) days -------- prior to the expiration date of each of the Policies, Borrower will deliver to Lender satisfactory evidence of the renewal of each expiring Policy. (d) If insurance for earthquake or special hazards is obtained by Borrower in its sole discretion and without requirement of Lender, then Borrower, when obtaining such insurance coverage, shall meet the insurance requirements hereof except as to matters requiring Lender's further approval, and such insurance coverage: (i) shall be within the meaning of a "Policy" or "Policies"; and (ii) shall be for the benefit of Lender and all proceeds thereof constitute additional security for the Debt, and Lender shall have all rights with respect to and be entitled to receive all proceeds in the same manner it would receive any Insurance Proceeds (hereinafter defined) in the event the Mortgaged Property is damaged or destroyed by a Casualty (hereinafter defined) or by any risk or loss insured against. (e) Any failure by Lender to insist on full compliance with all of the above insurance requirements at closing does not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to subsequently require full compliance with these requirements. 4. Casualty Loss. ------------- (a) If the Mortgaged Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "Casualty"), Borrower shall give prompt -------- notice thereof to Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Lender to settle, adjust or compromise any claims for any insurance proceeds arising from any Casualty (the "Insurance Proceeds"), to receive such Insurance Proceeds and ------------------ to retain and apply such Insurance Proceeds as set forth herein. If no Event of Default (hereinafter defined), or event which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would give rise to an Event of Default, has occurred as of the date of the Casualty or as of the date any Insurance Proceeds are to be paid or disbursed to Borrower, then: (i) If the aggregate amount of any Insurance Proceeds resulting from a Casualty is equal to $25,000.00 or less, such Insurance Proceeds shall be paid directly to Borrower and shall be applied by Borrower to the prompt repair and replacement of the Mortgaged Property; (ii) If the aggregate amount of any Insurance Proceeds resulting from a Casualty (or series of related Casualties) exceeds $25,000.00 and the value of the Mortgaged Property immediately following such Casualty remains greater than fifty percent (50%) of its value immediately prior to such Casualty, then all Insurance Proceeds from such Casualty shall be paid to Lender; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default exists and subject to the requirements set forth herein, Lender shall disburse such amounts of the Insurance Proceeds (after deduction for Lender's costs and expenses of collection) as Lender reasonably deems necessary for the repair or replacement of the Mortgaged Property, with any balance remaining after such disbursement being applied by Lender to the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender deems proper; (iii) If the value of the Mortgaged Property immediately following any Casualty (or series of related Casualties) does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of its value immediately prior to such Casualties, then all Insurance Proceeds from such Casualties shall be paid directly to Lender and Lender, at its discretion may declare the entire Debt to be immediately due and payable and apply all such Insurance Proceeds, after deduction for Lender's costs and expenses of collection, to the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender deems proper. In the event Lender does not declare the entire Debt to be immediately due and payable, Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property destroyed by such Casualty. In such event, subject to the requirements set forth herein, Lender shall disburse such amounts of the Insurance Proceeds as Lender reasonably deems necessary for the repair or replacement of the Mortgaged Property, with any balance remaining after such disbursement being applied by Lender to the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender deems proper; and (iv) If no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred, and no event has occurred that with notice and/or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, then no Prepayment Consideration (as defined in the Note) will be then due with respect to any application of Insurance Proceeds to the Debt pursuant to subclauses (ii) or (iii) above, or with respect to any required prepayment of the entire Debt pursuant to Lender's election to declare the entire Debt to be immediately due and payable pursuant to subclause (iii) above. An Event of Default which existed but which was completely cured prior to the date of Casualty shall not in itself give rise to any Prepayment Consideration under this subsection. (b) All disbursements of any portion of any Insurance Proceeds held by Lender shall be subject to all terms and conditions deemed necessary by Lender, including: (i) Lender's receipt of satisfactory requests for disbursements, paid bills and lien waivers, architect certificates or other certificates, and certificates or endorsements from title insurance companies; (ii) Borrower's deposit with Lender of any additional funds necessary to supplement the Insurance Proceeds, so as to cover, in advance, the entire cost of the necessary repairs or replacements to the Mortgaged Property as established by the certificate of an architect or engineer (employed by Lender at Borrower's expense); (iii) such architect's or engineer's determination that such repairs or replacements may be effected within a period of six (6) months or less; (iv) Borrower's prompt and diligent completion of such repairs or replacements in accordance with plans and specifications submitted to and approved by Lender; and (v) Lender's inspection, at Borrower's cost and expense, of the repairs or replacements to the Mortgaged Property to verify that such repairs or replacements have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and are otherwise acceptable to Lender. Lender, whether in possession of the Premises or not, shall not have any obligation to advance or make funds other than the Insurance Proceeds available for the repair or replacement of the Mortgaged Property. 5. Payment of Taxes and Other Charges. ---------------------------------- (a) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid and discharged all taxes, assessments, water rates and sewer rents now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (collectively the "Taxes"), and all ground rents, utility charges, maintenance ----- charges, other governmental impositions, and all other liens or charges whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Mortgaged Property (including without limitation, mechanics and materialmen's liens, vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Premises), now or hereafter related to, or levied, assessed or imposed against, the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (collectively the "Other Charges") as the same become due and payable. Borrower will deliver to ------------- Lender, promptly upon Lender's request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been paid prior to the same becoming delinquent. (b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any of the Taxes or Other Charges, provided that: (i) no Event of Default has occurred and shall be continuing; (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, or other instrument which creates a superior or junior lien to this Security Instrument (it being understood that no such superior or junior liens will be permitted unless specifically allowed, in writing, by Lender); (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder; (iv) neither the Mortgaged Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (v) Borrower shall have set aside adequate reserves (which Lender may at its option require to be placed in escrow with Lender) for the payment of the Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties; and (vi) Borrower shall have furnished such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. 6. Escrowed Funds. Borrower shall, at the option of Lender or its -------------- designee, pay to Lender or its designee on the first day of each calendar month one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay all Insurance Premiums, Taxes and Other Charges payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months. (The aggregate of said amounts so held by Lender is hereinafter called the "Escrowed Funds"). Borrower hereby -------------- pledges to Lender any and all Escrowed Funds now or hereafter held by Lender as additional security for the payment of the Debt. Lender will apply the Escrowed Funds to payments of Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant hereto. If the amount of the Escrowed Funds held by Lender shall exceed the amounts required for the payment of the Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums described above, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Escrowed Funds. If, at any time, the Escrowed Funds are not sufficient to pay the Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums described above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any Escrowed Funds held by it to the payment of the following items in any order in its sole discretion: (a) Taxes and Other Charges; (b) Insurance Premiums; (c) Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note; (d) Amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Note; and (e) All other sums payable pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents, including without limitation advances made by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument and any applicable Prepayment Consideration. Until expended or applied as above provided, the Escrowed Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The Escrowed Funds shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. No earnings or interest on the Escrowed Funds shall be payable to Borrower. To the extent Borrower timely deposits all required Escrowed Funds with Lender, Borrower shall be relieved of any further obligation to directly pay, or to deliver to Lender any evidence of the payment of (prior to their expiration or delinquency), any Insurance Premiums, Taxes or Other Charges. 7. Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender written ------------ notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any exercise of a right of condemnation or eminent domain affecting all or any part of the Mortgaged Property (each such event being hereinafter referred to as a "Condemnation"), ------------ and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with any such Condemnation. Notwithstanding any taking (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking) of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property through a Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by Lender (after deducting any expenses of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees) to the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the rate of interest paid on any such award or payment from a Condemnation but shall be entitled to receive out of such award or payment interest at the rate then applicable under the Note. Borrower shall cause any award or payment payable to Borrower in any Condemnation to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall apply, at Lender's discretion, any such award or payment (after deducting any expenses of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees) to (a) the reduction or discharge of the Debt (whether or not then due and payable) or (b) the restoration, repair, replacement, or rebuilding of the portion of the Mortgaged Property remaining after the Condemnation. No Prepayment Consideration shall be payable solely in connection with such application; provided, however, that -------- ------- notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default is existing as of the date of the Condemnation, or an event has occurred as of the date of the Condemnation that with notice and/or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, then any Condemnation awards or proceeds applied to the Debt pursuant to this section shall be subject to the Prepayment Consideration computed in accordance with the terms of the Note. If the Mortgaged Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of any such award or payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive said award or payment in an amount sufficient to fully satisfy the Debt. 8. Leases and Rents. Borrower does hereby absolutely and ---------------- unconditionally assign to Lender all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. The terms and conditions of this assignment shall be governed by the Assignment of Leases and Rents (the "Assignment of Leases") executed by Borrower in favor of Lender -------------------- contemporaneously with this Security Instrument. Except as permitted pursuant to the Assignment of Leases, Borrower shall not enter into any future Leases of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property. 9. Maintenance, Use and Management of Mortgaged Property. ----------------------------------------------------- (a) Borrower shall maintain the Mortgaged Property in good condition and repair and in such a manner as to allow the Mortgaged Property to remain consistently competitive in its market. The Improvements and the Equipment shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Equipment) without the consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property which may become damaged, worn or dilapidated, and shall also complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Premises. Borrower shall promptly comply with all laws, orders and ordinances affecting the Mortgaged Property, or the use thereof, except that Borrower shall be permitted to contest any change or proposed change thereto under the same terms and conditions as permitted in paragraph 5(b), above. (b) Without limiting any rights Lender or its selected representatives may possess hereunder, under the Note or under any Other Security Document to inspect the Mortgaged Property, Lender shall have the right to conduct physical inspections of the Mortgaged Property to ensure Borrower is appropriately maintaining the Mortgaged Property. Following any such inspection, should Lender determine that the Mortgaged Property has not been maintained as required herein, Lender shall have the right to demand that Borrower complete corrective measures within a ninety (90) day period of time. Failure of Borrower to complete such corrective measures within such period shall constitute an immediate Event of Default and shall entitle Lender to exercise all remedies available to it, including, without limitation, performing Borrower's obligations hereunder. (c) Borrower shall use and continuously operate and permit the use and continuous operation of the Premises and the Improvements as provided for in Borrower's original loan application to Lender. (d) Unless Lender otherwise consents in writing, Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in or consent to: (i) the removal or resignation of the property manager for the Mortgaged Property; or (ii) if such property manager is an entity affiliated with Borrower, the transfer of ownership, management or control of such property manager to a person or entity other than Borrower, its managing member, general partner or similar controlling entity in Borrower. (e) Unless Lender otherwise consents in writing, Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in or consent to: (i) any change, modification or alteration of the existing access to the Mortgaged Property; (ii) any change in any private restrictive covenant, replat, easement, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower will not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Lender. 10. Sale of Mortgaged Property or Change in Borrower. ------------------------------------------------ (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and experience of Borrower in agreeing to make the loan secured hereby, and that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property so as to ensure that should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Mortgaged Property. (b) Borrower may not Transfer (hereinafter defined) the Mortgaged Property, nor allow any Change in Ownership (hereinafter defined), unless all of the following conditions shall have been satisfied: (i) Lender has received Borrower's written request for a Transfer, or for a Change in Ownership (or any other request resulting in a new obligor under the Loan) and Lender shall have expressly approved, in its sole discretion, such request in writing, subject to the satisfaction of all requirements hereunder; (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (iii) the proposed new owner/assignee of the Mortgaged Property (the "New Borrower") meets all of Lender's Underwriting ------------ Standards (hereinafter defined); (iv) the Mortgaged Property meets all of Lender's Underwriting Standards related to its financial condition, cash flow, operating income, physical condition, management and operation; (v) Borrower provides Lender such other information and documentation reasonably required by Lender, including without limitation, engineering reports, appraisals, environmental reports and title endorsements; (vi) Borrower reimburses Lender for all underwriting and other costs ("Underwriting Costs") incurred by Lender ------------------ in connection with such Transfer or Change in Ownership (including without limitation, engineering and/or architect's fees, environmental studies, title searches, credit checks, title endorsements, appraisal fees, attorney fees and any costs associated with obtaining any REMIC Opinion or Rating Agency No-Downgrade Letter (as such terms are hereinafter defined) required by Lender); (vii) Borrower remits to Lender both a reasonable administrative fee and an assumption fee in the amount of one percent (1%) of the outstanding balance of the Debt as of the date of such Transfer or Change in Ownership. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all Underwriting Costs incurred by Lender in connection with any request for Lender's consent to a Transfer or a Change in Ownership, whether or not any requested Transfer or Change in Ownership is approved or consummated. A failure to comply with any of the terms of this paragraph 10 shall constitute an Event of Default, and Lender may then declare the entire Debt immediately due and payable upon any such Transfer or Change in Ownership. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to so declare the Debt immediately due and payable, or in denying any request for approval of a Transfer or Change in Ownership. This provision shall apply to every Transfer or Change in Ownership whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer or Change in Ownership. (c) "Lender's Underwriting Standards" shall mean the actual ------------------------------- commercial loan underwriting standards used by PNC Bank, National Association, in connection with its making of loans for the purpose of commercial securitization, or any successor entity that is then servicing the Loan, in effect at the time of the proposed Transfer or Change in Ownership, or, if no such standards exist, such standards which are then customary for a commercial lender in connection with the origination of a commercial mortgage loan, for the purpose of securitization, of the size and type of Borrower's loan from Lender secured hereby. (d) A "Transfer" is defined as any sale, conveyance, assignment, -------- alienation, mortgage, hypothecation, encumbrance, grant of a lien over or a security interest in, pledge or other transfer of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein, whether voluntary or involuntary.

(e) A "Change in Ownership" shall occur: (i) when the ownership or ------------------ control of more than forty-nine percent (49%), in the aggregate, of the applicable indicia of ownership or actual ownership interest in Borrower, any Guarantor (hereinafter defined), or any Controlling Entity (hereinafter defined) shall be vested in a party or parties who were not owners of such indicia of ownership or actual ownership interest as of the closing of the Loan (1) by any one or more voluntary or involuntary sales, conveyances, transfers, assignments, mortgages, hypothecations, encumbrances, grants of liens over or security interests in, or pledges of such indicia of ownership or actual ownership interest or any interest therein, or (2) in one or a series of transactions causing the creation or issuance of any additional indicia of ownership or actual ownership interest; or (ii) upon the change, removal or resignation of a managing member, general partner or similar controlling person or entity of Borrower, any Guarantor or any Controlling Entity. The term "Controlling Entity" ------------------ shall mean any managing member, general partner or similar controlling entity in Borrower or any Guarantor. Involuntary changes in ownership resulting from a death or physical or mental disability shall not be considered a Change in Ownership. (f) A Change of Ownership shall not be deemed to have occurred when a shareholder, member, partner or other person (for purposes of this paragraph, each of the foregoing is called an "Estate Planning Transferor") -------------------------- possessing an ownership interest in Borrower makes a one-time transfer (an "Estate Planning Transfer") during the term of the Loan, of all or part of such ------------------------ ownership interest for estate planning purposes to a trust or other entity for the benefit of any of such person's spouse, children or grandchildren, or any of them (each, a "Permitted Transferee"); provided, however, that any such Estate -------------------- Planning Transfer shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) No Event of Default, and no event or condition that, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall exist on the date of the proposed Estate Planning Transfer; and (ii) No such Estate Planning Transfer shall in any event absolve any Estate Planning Transferor, in whole or in part, from its liability, if any, to Lender under the Note, this Security Instrument or any Other Security Document; and (iii) Each applicable Permitted Transferee shall execute and deliver to Lender an agreement, in a form acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, whereby such Permitted Transferee, upon the death of the applicable Estate Planning Transferor, becomes jointly and severally liable for the liability, if any, of such Estate Planning Transferor to Lender under the Note, this Security Instrument or any Other Security Documents; and (iv) Lender has been paid a $3,500 administrative fee and all out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, attorney fees) in effecting any Estate Planning Transfer; and (v) Lender has determined that, from the date of the closing of the loan to the date of the proposed Estate Planning Transfer, there has been no material adverse change in the (a) financial condition of the Estate Planning Transferor, and (b) financial or physical condition of the Property. An Estate Planning Transfer shall be effective only upon the date of satisfaction of the last of such conditions to be satisfied. Lender shall have the absolute and unconditional right to require reasonable evidence of the satisfaction of each condition to an Estate Planning Transfer. (g) Borrower shall be released from liability for the Debt only after: (i) all conditions for a Transfer or Change in Ownership have been satisfied; (ii) all security documents deemed necessary by Lender have been executed, delivered, recorded and perfected; (iii) Lender has received a policy of title insurance (or similar assurance) reflecting the new ownership and the priority and perfection of Lender's security; (iv) the New Borrower has assumed all required personal liability; and (v) all other reasonable requirements of Lender are satisfied.

Borrower acknowledges that, without timely delivery of complete and accurate Reports and Leasing Reports, Lender may not be able to execute a Secondary Market Transaction. Borrower agrees that failure to timely deliver any of the Reports or the Leasing Reports shall be an Event of Default hereunder. 15. Performance of Other Agreements.

Events of Default. The Debt shall become immediately due and ----------------- payable at the option of Lender, without notice or demand, upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (each an "Event of Default"): ---------------- (a) if Borrower fails to make the full and punctual payment of any amount payable pursuant to this Security Instrument, the Note or any Other Security Document, which failure is not cured on or before the fifth (5th) day after written notice from Lender to Borrower of such failure; (b) if Borrower fails to pay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, on the date when due, whether on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), or upon acceleration, or on the Prepayment Date (as defined in the Note); (c) if Borrower fails to make the full and punctual payment of Taxes or Other Charges as required hereby; (d) if Borrower fails to keep the Policies of insurance required hereby in full force and effect, or fails to promptly deliver copies thereof to Lender upon request; (e) if a Transfer or a Change in Ownership occurs in violation of the provisions of this Security Instrument, or if Borrower violates or does not comply with the provisions of the Assignment of Leases; (f) if any representation or warranty of Borrower or any Guarantor made herein, in any guaranty or indemnity or in any certificate, report, financial statement or other instrument or document furnished to Lender shall have been false or misleading in any material respect when made; (g) if Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or if Borrower is not paying debts as and when the same become due; (h) if a receiver, liquidator or trustee of Borrower shall be appointed or if Borrower is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Borrower or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower shall be instituted; however, if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to by Borrower, then upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within sixty (60) days; (i) if Borrower shall be in default under any other deed of trust, mortgage or security agreement covering any part of the Mortgaged Property whether it be superior or junior in priority to this Security Instrument (it not being implied by this clause that any such encumbrance will be permitted); (j) if the Mortgaged Property becomes subject to any mechanic's, materialman's or other lien (other than a lien for local real estate taxes and assessments not then due and payable, or any lien being contested by Borrower pursuant to its rights hereunder) and such lien shall remain undischarged of record (by payment, bonding or otherwise) for a period of thirty (30) calendar days; (k) the expiration, dismissal or final adjudication of any appeal rights of Borrower in connection with any judgment entered against it in excess of $100,000.00 which is not fully covered by insurance (other than Borrower's deductible, if any); (l) if Borrower fails to promptly and diligently cure any material violations of laws or ordinances affecting the Mortgaged Property; or (m) if for more than thirty (30) days after written notice from Lender, Borrower shall fail to perform any other term, covenant or condition of the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents; provided, however, that if such failure to perform is of a type which cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period and Borrower diligently commences and prosecutes such cure, Lender shall allow a reasonable additional time period (not to exceed sixty (60) additional days) to complete such cure. 19. Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence of any Event of ---------------------- Default, or if Borrower fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein required, Lender may do such acts or make such payments in Borrower's stead, in such manner and to the extent that Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Any such acts or payments by Lender shall be at Lender's sole discretion, may be taken without notice to or demand on Borrower, and will not release Borrower from any obligation hereunder. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property, to cause this Security Instrument to be foreclosed or to collect the Debt. All such costs and expenses (including attorney fees) incurred by Lender in remedying any such Event of Default, in acting or making payments in Borrower's stead, or in appearing in, defending or bringing any of the foregoing actions or proceedings, shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Lender until the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the above rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor. 20. Lender's Remedies. ----------------- (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the following actions: (i) declare the entire Debt to be immediately due and payable; (ii) institute proceedings to foreclose this Security Instrument, in which case the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner; (iii) with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien of this Security Instrument for the balance of the Debt not then due; (iv) enforce the power of sale herein granted; (v) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein, in the Note or the Other Security Documents; (vi) recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument; (vii) apply for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or conservator of the Mortgaged Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Debt or the solvency of Borrower, any Guarantor or of any person, firm or other entity liable for the payment of the Debt; (viii) enforce Lender's interest in the Leases and Rents and enter into or upon the Mortgaged Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants therefrom, and thereupon Lender may: (A) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business thereat; (B) complete any construction on the Mortgaged Property in such manner and form as Lender deems advisable; (C) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Mortgaged Property; (D) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and other income of the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof; and (E) apply the receipts from the Mortgaged Property to the payment of the Debt, after deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, assessments, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges in connection with the Mortgaged Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Lender, its counsel, agents and employees; or (ix) pursue such other rights and remedies as may then be available at law and in equity. To the extent permitted presently or in the future by laws of the state in which the Premises and Improvements are located, Lender may institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial, or nonjudicial, by advertisement or otherwise, for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument or the complete or partial sale of the Mortgaged Property under a power of sale which power is hereby granted to Trustee. In the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien on the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property. (b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Trustee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Security Instrument by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and , except as otherwise provided by law, Trustee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned. (c) Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by Trustee under or by virtue of this Security Instrument, Trustee, or an officer of any court empowered to do so shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold. Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Borrower, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Mortgaged Property and rights so sold, and for that purpose Trustee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that Trustee or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Security Instrument, whether made under the power of sale herein or granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or any judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Borrower and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Borrower. (d) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Security Instrument, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or any judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Lender may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting therefrom, to the extent allowed by applicable law, the expenses of the sale and costs of the action and any other sums which Lender is authorized to deduct under this Security Instrument. (e) No recovery of any judgment by Lender and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Borrower shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Security Instrument upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue unimpaired as before. (f) In any action by Lender to recover a deficiency judgment following a foreclosure or trustee's sale, the successful bid amount at that sale shall be deemed conclusively to be the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property sold at that sale, which value shall be binding against Borrower in any proceedings to determine or establish the fair market value of that portion of the Mortgaged Property. The successful bid at any foreclosure or trustee's sale shall be the preferred alternative means of determining and establishing the fair market value of the portion of the Mortgaged Property sold at the sale. Borrower hereby waives any right to have the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property determined by a judge or jury in any action seeking a deficiency judgment, including without limitation, a hearing to determine fair market value pursuant to A.R.S. Sections 12-1566, 33-814, 33-725, or 33-727. (g) Lender shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in this Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents or available at law or equity (including the Uniform Commercial Code), which rights: (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (ii) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Borrower or others obligated under the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Lender; (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise and exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse; and (iv) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourse under the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default. The remedies provided for in this Security Instrument may be exercised in any order. 21. Changes in the Laws Regarding Taxation. If any law is enacted -------------------------------------- or adopted or amended after the date of this Security Instrument which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender's interest in the Mortgaged Property, Borrower will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. In the event Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the entire Debt immediately due and payable; provided, however, that no Prepayment Consideration shall be required solely as a result of a prepayment required by any such declaration. 22. Documentary Stamps. If at any time the United States of ------------------ America, any state thereof or any subdivision of any such state shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Security Instrument, or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. 23. Usury Laws. All interest and other charges, fees, goods, ---------- things in action or any other sums, things of value and reimbursable costs that Borrower is or may become obligated to pay or reimburse in connection with the Loan evidenced by the Note, and which may be deemed to constitute "interest" within the meaning of Arizona Revised Statutes Section 44-1201 et. seq. shall be deemed to constitute items of interest in addition to the rate(s) of interest specified above, which Borrower hereby contracts in writing to pay. This Security Instrument, the Other Security Documents and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Debt or any other charges at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Security Instrument, the Other Security Documents or the Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay any such amounts at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. 24. Right of Entry. Lender and its agents shall have the right to -------------- enter and inspect the Mortgaged Property at all reasonable times. 25. Reasonable Use and Occupancy. In addition to the rights which ---------------------------- Lender may have herein, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be occupied by Borrower, or may require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Lender or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. 26. Security Agreement. This Security Instrument is both a real ------------------ property deed of trust and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code adopted and enacted by the state or states where any of the Mortgaged Property is located (the "Uniform Commercial Code"), made by and ----------------------- between Borrower, as debtor, and Lender, as secured party, and by and between Borrower, as debtor and Trustee, as secured party. Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Debt, a security interest in the Mortgaged Property to the full extent that the Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Mortgaged Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being herein referred to as the "Collateral"). If an ---------- Event of Default shall occur, Lender and Trustee, in addition to any other rights and remedies which they may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Trustee or Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Lender or Trustee, Borrower shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender or Trustee at a convenient place acceptable to Lender or Trustee. Borrower shall pay to Lender or Trustee on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and attorney fees, incurred or paid by Lender or Trustee in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender or Trustee with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five (5) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower. The Collateral may be sold in such manner, portions, order or parcels as Lender may determine, with or without having first taken possession of same. The right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales or attempted sales, any other action, proceeding, or other exercise of a remedy, and the liens granted by this Security Instrument shall continue unimpaired. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. 27. Actions and Proceedings. Lender or Trustee has the right to ----------------------- appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property. Lender shall, at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Debt, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt. 28. Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to ---------------------- assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender, and, to the extent permitted by law, waives trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought by either party hereto against the other or in any counterclaim asserted by Lender, or its successors or assigns, against Borrower, or in any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Security Instrument, the Note, any of the Other Security Documents or the Debt. 29. Recovery of Sums Required to Be Paid. Lender shall have the ------------------------------------ right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender or Trustee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced. 30. Marshalling and Other Matters. Borrower hereby waives, to the ----------------------------- extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement, redemption and similar laws now or hereafter in force ------------- and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date of this Security Instrument and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable law. 31. Costs and Expenses. Without limiting Lender's rights under any ------------------ other provision herein or in the Note or any Other Security Document, Borrower agrees that it will reimburse Lender for any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any breach or default of this Security Instrument, the Note or any Other Security Document, or in connection with any request that Lender take, or refrain from taking, any action with respect to Borrower or the Mortgaged Property. 32. Access Laws. ----------- (a) Borrower agrees that the Mortgaged Property shall at all times comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, all similar state and local laws and ordinances related to access and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant thereto including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (collectively the "Access Laws"). ----------- (b) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any other document regarding Lender's approval of alterations of the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall not alter the Mortgaged Property in any manner which would increase Borrower's responsibilities for compliance with the applicable Access Laws without the prior written approval of Lender. The foregoing shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Borrower or by any of its tenants. Lender may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of an architect, engineer or other person acceptable to Lender regarding compliance with applicable Access Laws. (c) Borrower agrees to give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any complaints related to any violations of any Access Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with applicable Access Laws. 33. Indemnification. Borrower shall protect, defend, indemnify and --------------- save harmless Lender and Trustee from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses, fines, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and expenses) (the "Indemnified Obligations"), imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against ----------------------- Lender or Trustee by reason of: (a) ownership of this Security Instrument, the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents; (b) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any use, non-use or condition in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (d) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof; and (e) any failure of the Mortgaged Property to comply with any Access Laws. Any amounts payable to Lender or Trustee by reason of the application of this indemnification shall be secured by this Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents, shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date loss or damage is sustained by Lender or Trustee until paid. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this paragraph shall survive any termination, satisfaction or assignment of this Security Instrument and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. The foregoing indemnification shall not relate to Indemnified Obligations arising from Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. 34. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, any notice, ------- consent, request or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given if delivered in accordance with the notice requirements contained in the Note. The notice address for Trustee is: Trustee: Chicago Title Insurance Company 2415 E. Camelback Road #300 Phoenix, Arizona 85016 35. Authority. --------- (a) Borrower (and the undersigned representative of Borrower, if any) has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations pursuant to this Security Instrument, and to deed, mortgage, give, grant, bargain, sell, alienate, convey, confirm, pledge, hypothecate and assign the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the terms hereof and to keep and observe all of the terms of this Security Instrument on Borrower's part to be performed. (b) Borrower represents and warrants that Borrower is not a "foreign person" within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the related Treasury Department regulations, including temporary regulations. 36. Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any ---------------- notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender or Trustee except with respect to matters for which this Security Instrument specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by Lender or Trustee to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Lender or Trustee is required by applicable law to give notice, and Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any other notice. 37. Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or -------------------- adjudication is made that Lender has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents, it has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Lender shall not be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower's remedies shall be limited to injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. 38. Sole Discretion of Lender. Wherever pursuant to this Security ------------------------- Instrument, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein. 39. Nonwaiver. The failure of Lender or Trustee to insist upon --------- strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower's obligations hereunder by reason of: (a) the failure of Lender or Trustee to comply with any request of Borrower or any Guarantor to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof, of the Note or the Other Security Documents; (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof; or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents. Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender or Trustee may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender or Trustee thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights and remedies of Lender or Trustee under this Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender or Trustee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Trustee and Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity. 40. Waiver of Automatic or Supplemental Stay. In the event of the ---------------------------------------- filing of any voluntary or involuntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code by or against Borrower (other than an involuntary petition filed by or joined by Lender), Borrower shall not assert, or request any other party to assert, that the automatic stay under ss. 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Lender to enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Security Instrument, or any other rights that Lender has, whether now or hereafter acquired, against any Guarantor. Further, Borrower shall not seek a supplemental stay or any other relief, whether injunctive or otherwise, pursuant to ss.105 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision therein to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Security Instrument against any Guarantor. The waivers contained in this paragraph are a material inducement to Lender's willingness to make the Loan, and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no grounds exist for equitable relief which would bar, delay or impede the exercise by Lender of its rights and remedies against Borrower or any Guarantor. 41. Bankruptcy Acknowledgment. In the event the Mortgaged Property ------------------------- or any portion thereof or interest therein becomes property of any bankruptcy estate or subject to any state or federal insolvency proceeding, then Lender shall immediately become entitled, in addition to all other relief to which Lender may be entitled under this Security Instrument, to obtain: (a) an order from the Bankruptcy Court or other appropriate court granting immediate relief from any automatic stay laws (including ss.362 of the Bankruptcy Code) so to permit Lender to pursue its rights and remedies against Borrower as provided under this Security Instrument and all other rights and remedies of Lender at law and in equity under applicable state law; and (b) an order from the Bankruptcy Court prohibiting Borrower's use of all "cash collateral" as defined under ss.363 of the Bankruptcy Code. In connection with any such orders, Borrower shall not contend or allege in any pleading or petition that Lender does not have sufficient grounds for relief from the automatic stay. Any bankruptcy petition or other action taken by Borrower to stay, condition, or inhibit Lender from exercising its remedies are hereby admitted by Borrower to be in bad faith and Borrower further admits that Lender would have just cause for relief from the automatic stay in order to take such actions authorized by state law. 42. No Oral Change. This Security Instrument, and any provisions -------------- hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. 43. Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one person, the --------- obligations and liabilities of each such person hereunder shall be joint and several. This Security Instrument shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever. 44. Inapplicable Provisions.

Concerning the Trustee.

Trustee, by acceptance of this Security Instrument, covenants to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable, however, only for willful negligence or misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation in lieu thereof for any services rendered by Trustee hereunder. Trustee may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days' notice to Lender. In the event of the death, removal, resignation, or refusal or inability to act of Trustee or any duly appointed successor Trustee, or in Lender's sole discretion for any reason whatsoever, Lender, from time to time without notice and without specifying any reason therefor and without applying to any court, may select and appoint a successor trustee by an instrument recorded wherever this Security Instrument is recorded and all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee hereunder shall thereupon become vested in such successor. Such successor trustee shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of the duties of Trustee hereunder unless required by Lender. The procedure provided for in this Security Instrument for the appointment of a successor for the Trustee shall be in addition to and not in exclusion of any other provisions for such an appointment, by law or otherwise. 47. Trustee's Costs. Borrower shall pay all costs, fees and --------------- expenses incurred by Trustee and Trustee's agents and counsel in connection with the Trustee's performance of its duties hereunder and all such costs, fees and expenses shall be secured by this Security Instrument. 48.

Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Lender such additional instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, as Lender may hereinafter require to further evidence and confirm this Assignment. Lender is hereby granted the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of enforcing Lender's interest in the Leases and the Rents, this Assignment constituting a present, absolute and unconditional assignment of the Leases and Rents.

Borrower shall hold the Rents for use in the payment of all current sums due on the Debt. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Security Instrument), the license granted to Borrower herein shall be automatically terminated and Lender shall be immediately entitled to receive and apply all Rents, whether or not Lender enters upon and takes possession or control of the Mortgaged Property. Lender is hereby granted the right, at its option, upon the termination of the license granted Borrower herein to enter upon the Mortgaged Property in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver to collect the Rents.

Acts Requiring Lender's Approval. -------------------------------- (a) Without obtaining Lender's prior written approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower shall not: (i) extend any Lease or enter into any new or renewal Lease affecting the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that no such approval is required if: (A) such Lease is written on a standard form of lease approved in writing by Lender (the "Approved Lease Form") with no ------------------- material changes to such Approved Lease Form; (B) all of the terms of such Lease equal or exceed the requirements set forth in the then applicable Leasing Report (as defined in the Security Instrument); (C) such Lease is an arm's-length transaction with an unrelated third party tenant; (D) an executed copy of such Lease (other than Residential Leases, unless requested by Lender) shall be furnished to Lender within ten (10) days after its execution; (E) such Lease provides that upon Borrower's request the tenant thereunder shall subordinate such Lease to the Security Instrument and shall agree to attorn to Lender and such subordination and attornment shall be evidenced by a written agreement executed by such tenant in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; (ii) other than Residential Leases, consent to any assignment of or subletting by any tenant under any of the Leases (except in accordance with the terms of such tenant's Lease); (iii) alter, modify, change, cancel or terminate any guaranty of any of the Leases; (iv) other than Residential Leases, materially alter, modify, change the terms of, cancel, terminate or accept a surrender of any of the Leases; or (v) transfer or permit a transfer of the Mortgaged Property or of any interest therein, even if such a transfer is permitted under the Security Instrument, if such transfer would effect a merger of the estates and rights of, or a termination or diminution of the obligations of, tenants under any of the Leases. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, Borrower agrees that: (i) Borrower shall not modify, amend, supplement or replace the Approved Lease Form without Lender's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (ii) Borrower shall not enter into, materially modify, extend, renew or terminate any Lease in respect of twenty percent (20%) or more of the rentable space at the Mortgaged Property without Lender's prior written approval, which approval may be withheld or granted in Lender's sole discretion. 6. Remedies of Lender. Upon or at any time after an Event of Default, ------------------ Lender may, at its option, without waiving such Event of Default, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Debt: (i) in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, take possession of the Mortgaged Property and have, hold, manage, lease and operate the Mortgaged Property on such terms and for such period of time as Lender may deem proper; (ii) with or without taking possession of the Mortgaged Property in its own name, demand, sue for or otherwise collect and receive all Rents, including those past due and unpaid, and (iii) make from time to time all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements to the Mortgaged Property as Lender deems proper. Lender may apply any Rents obtained by it to the payment of the following in such manner and order as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, any law, custom or use to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) all expenses of securing, managing, operating and maintaining the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the salaries, fees and wages of a managing agent and such other employees or agents as Lender may deem necessary or desirable; all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, water charges, sewer rents and any other liens; premiums for all insurance which Lender may deem necessary or desirable; the cost of all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements; and all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Mortgaged Property; and (b) the Debt, together with all court costs and attorney fees, receiver fees and all other costs and expenses incurred by Lender. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may either require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be in possession of Borrower or may require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Lender or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. Borrower grants to Lender its irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to take any and all actions allowed hereunder and any or all other actions designated by Lender for the proper management and preservation of the Mortgaged Property. The exercise by Lender of any particular remedy or right hereunder and the collection of the Rents and the application thereof as herein provided shall not be considered a waiver of any Event of Default by Borrower. 7. No Liability of Lender. Lender shall not be liable for any loss ---------------------- sustained by Borrower resulting from Lender's failure to let the Mortgaged Property after an Event of Default or from any other act or omission of Lender in managing the Mortgaged Property after an Event of Default unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of Lender. Lender shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or under or by reason of this Assignment. Borrower hereby agrees to hold Lender harmless from any and all liability, loss or damage (including attorney fees and the costs of defense) from any and all claims and demands whatsoever asserted against Lender pursuant to the Leases or this Assignment, including, without limitation, any claims or demands related to any alleged obligations or alleged undertakings on Lender's part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases. Borrower shall reimburse Lender immediately upon demand for the amount of any such liability, loss or damage, the payment of which shall be secured by this Assignment, by the Security Instrument and by the Other Security Documents. Upon the failure of Borrower to reimburse Lender, Lender may, at its option, declare the entire Debt immediately due and payable. This Assignment shall not obligate or make Lender liable for (i) the control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases, (iii) any waste committed on the Mortgaged Property by the tenants or any other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation the presence of any Hazardous Material (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement executed contemporaneously herewith in favor of Lender), or (v) any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Mortgaged Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger. 8. Notice to Tenants. Borrower hereby authorizes and directs all tenants ----------------- or occupants now or in the future possessing any rights in the Mortgaged Property pursuant to any of the Leases, upon receipt from Lender of written notice to the effect that Lender is then the holder of the Security Instrument and that a default exists thereunder, under this Assignment, under the Note or under the Other Security Documents, to pay over to Lender all Rents and to continue to do so until otherwise notified by Lender in writing. 9. Other Security. Lender may take or release other security for the -------------- payment of the Debt, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable therefor and may apply any other security held by it to the reduction or satisfaction of the Debt without prejudice to any of its rights under this Assignment. 10. Other Remedies.

Lender's right to collect the Debt and to enforce any other security held by it may be exercised by Lender either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder. 11. No Mortgagee-in-Possession. Nothing herein contained shall be construed -------------------------- as constituting Lender a "mortgagee-in-possession" or "beneficiary-in-possession" in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Mortgaged Property by Lender. Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases all claims and liability against Lender in Lender's exercise of its rights and powers hereunder. 12. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, any notice, consent, ------- request or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given if delivered in accordance with the notice requirements contained in the Note. 13.

Indemnity. Indemnitor hereby assumes liability for and agrees to pay, --------- protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all Environmental Losses, excluding any such losses arising from Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. A separate right of action hereunder shall arise each time Lender acquires knowledge of any matter indemnified by Indemnitor under this Indemnity. Separate successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time. No action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action, and Indemnitor hereby waives and covenants not to assert any defense in the nature of splitting of causes of action or merger or judgments. Each person or party executing the Indemnity agrees that the liability hereunder shall be joint and several. 3. Covenants and Representations. Indemnitor hereby represents and warrants to ----------------------------- Lender that, to the best of its knowledge, after due inquiry and investigation, the Mortgaged Property is not subject to any private or governmental lien or judicial or administrative notice or action relating to any Hazardous Material; and except as disclosed to Lender in the Environmental Report: (a) the Mortgaged Property is not in violation of any Environmental Laws; (b) no Hazardous Material is present at the Mortgaged Property; (c) no Hazardous Material has been discharged, generated, treated, disposed of or stored on, incorporated in, or removed or transported from the Mortgaged Property otherwise than in compliance with all Environmental Laws; and (d) no underground storage tanks exist on any of the Mortgaged Property. Until a Foreclosure Transfer, Indemnitor shall keep the Mortgaged Property free from Hazardous Material and in compliance with all Environmental Laws. Indemnitor shall notify Lender within five (5) business days after it becomes aware of the existence of any Hazardous Material on, or any alleged or actual violation of any Environmental Laws with respect to, the Mortgaged Property. Indemnitor shall remove any such Hazardous Material and/or cure any such violations, as applicable, as required by law, promptly after it becomes aware of same, at its sole expense. Nothing herein shall prevent Indemnitor from recovering such expenses from any other party (excluding Lender) that may be liable for such removal or cure. If, at any time and from time to time until the occurrence of a Foreclosure Transfer, Lender has reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitor has violated, or permitted any violations, any breach of the foregoing, then Indemnitor shall provide, at its sole expense, an inspection or audit of the Mortgaged Property prepared by a licensed hydrogeologist or licensed environmental engineer approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Material on, or violation of Environmental Laws at the Mortgaged Property. If Indemnitor fails to provide such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may order same, and Indemnitor hereby grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Mortgaged Property to undertake such inspection or audit. The cost of such inspection or audit shall be immediately due and payable, shall be added to the Debt (as defined in the Note) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date expended by Lender until paid by Indemnitor. 4. Absolute Indemnity; Waiver of Subrogation and Other Rights. This Indemnity is ---------------------------------------------------------- absolute, unconditional, present and continuing. It is not conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to enforce Lender's rights against Borrower or the Mortgaged Property, to collect from Borrower or any other person or entity or upon any other condition or contingency not set forth herein. Lender shall have the right to proceed against Indemnitor without taking any prior action to enforce the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the obligations of any other indemnitor under any indemnity. Furthermore, Lender in its sole discretion, without prior notice to or consent of Indemnitor, may elect to: (a) foreclose either judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property security it may hold for the Loan; (b) accept a transfer of any such security in lieu of foreclosure; (c) compromise or adjust the Loan or any part of it or make any other accommodation with Borrower or Indemnitor; or (d) exercise any other remedy against Borrower or any security. No such action by Lender shall release or limit the liability of Indemnitor, who shall remain liable under this Indemnity after the action, even if the effect of the action is to deprive Indemnitor of any subrogation rights, rights of indemnity, or other rights to collect reimbursement from Borrower for any sums paid to Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise. Indemnitor, for itself and its Affiliates, expressly agrees that under no circumstances shall it be deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim in or to any real or personal property to be held by Lender or any third party after any Foreclosure Transfer. The rights and remedies of Lender under this Indemnity shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity. Regardless of whether Indemnitor may have made any payments to Lender, Indemnitor forever waives: (I) all rights of subrogation, all rights of indemnity, and any other rights to collect reimbursement from Borrower for any sums paid to Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise; (II) all rights to enforce any remedy that Lender may have against Borrower; and (III) all rights to participate in any security now or later to be held by Lender for the Loan. 5. Extent of Liability; Waivers. This Indemnity is a separate, unsecured ---------------------------- obligation of Indemnitor to the Lender and is not secured by the Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents. This Indemnity is given solely to protect Lender against Environmental Losses, and not as additional security for, or as a means of repayment of, the Loan. Indemnitor's obligations under this Indemnity are independent of, and shall not be measured or affected by: (a) any amounts at any time owing under or secured by the Loan Documents; (b) the sufficiency or insufficiency of any collateral securing the repayment of the Loan; (c) any obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents; (d) any consideration given by Lender or any other party in order to acquire the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof; (e) the modification, expiration or termination of any Loan Document; (f) the discharge or repayment in full of the Loan (including, without limitation, by amounts paid or credit bid at a foreclosure sale or by discharge in connection with a deed in lieu of foreclosure); (g) any limitations on Lender's recourse for recovery of the Loan; (h) any extensions of time for performance under the Loan Documents, whether prior to or after maturity; (i) the release of any collateral securing the Loan, or the release (by operation of law or otherwise) of Borrower or any other indemnitor from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents; or (j) any failure to give Indemnitor any notices of acceptance, default or otherwise; (k) any other indemnity now or hereafter executed by any other person in connection with the Loan; (l) any rights, powers or privileges Lender may now or hereafter have against any person, entity or collateral; (m) any assignment for the benefit of creditors by Borrower or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower; (n) any appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee (other than any receiver appointed at Lender's request) for Borrower or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower or for any of the properties of Borrower; (o) any filing of a petition by or against Borrower or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower, for relief pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar statute; (p) the institution of any proceedings for the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower; or (q) any relief or discharge granted Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other debtor relief laws (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise). Under no circumstances shall any payment received by Lender, from Borrower or otherwise, which is returned by Lender by reason of the avoidance powers granted pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law or for any other reason, regardless of whether Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment, result in any reduction of Indemnitor's liability hereunder. Indemnitor, for itself and its Affiliates, waives any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of Borrower's assets or to cause Lender to proceed at any time or in any particular order against Borrower, Indemnitor, any other person or entity and/or any collateral securing the Loan. To the extent allowed by applicable law, Indemnitor, for itself and its Affiliates, expressly waives and relinquishes all defenses, counterclaims, rights and remedies now or hereafter accorded by applicable law to indemnitors, guarantors or sureties, including, without limitation, those arising out of or related to the following: (I) any extension of time for payment; (II) notice of acceptance of this Indemnity by Lender and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law; (III) any defense, right of offset or other claim which Indemnitor or any Affiliate may have against Borrower or which Indemnitor, any Affiliate or Borrower may have against Lender; (IV) presentment for payment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Indemnitor with liability; (V) any failure by Lender to inform Indemnitor of any facts Lender may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the Mortgaged Property, the Loan or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that Lender has no duty so to inform; (VI) any failure by Lender to perfect or continue the perfection of any lien, security interest or similar rights against any of the Mortgaged Property; and (VII) all rights of redemption, homestead, dower, and other rights or exemptions of every kind, whether under common law or by statute. 6. Survival. Indemnitor's obligations hereunder shall survive any Foreclosure -------- Transfer and any sale or other transfer of the Mortgaged Property prior to a Foreclosure Transfer. Lender's rights under this Indemnity shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it under any other document or instrument now or hereafter existing, or at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any right of reimbursement or contribution pursuant to CERCLA or any other Environmental Law), and shall not in any way be deemed a waiver of any such rights. 7. Demand Obligations. All obligations of Indemnitor hereunder shall be payable ------------------ on demand, and any amount due and payable hereunder which is not paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor shall bear interest from the date of such demand at a per annum interest rate equal to the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) which would have been in effect as if the Note were in existence and an Event of Default had occurred under the Note upon the date of such demand. 8. Additional Waivers. Indemnitor, for itself and its Affiliates, waives any ------------------ defense to its obligations hereunder based on: (a) the claim that the Loan Documents were not duly authorized and executed by Borrower and are not legal, valid and binding instruments, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms; or (b) an avoidance action. 9. Rights of Action. Lender shall have the right to join Borrower and/or ---------------- Indemnitor in any action or proceeding commenced by Lender pursuant to the rights, powers and privileges Lender now or hereafter may possess under this Indemnity or, at Lender's option, Lender may commence any action or proceeding directly against Indemnitor without joining Borrower or anyone else in such action or proceeding. In the event any such action or proceeding arising on, under, out of or by reason of or relating in any way to this Indemnity or the interpretation, breach or enforcement thereof is brought against Indemnitor, service of process may be made on Indemnitor by certified mail, return receipt requested, in accordance with the notice provision hereof. 10. Costs and Expenses. If: (a) this Indemnity is placed in the hands of an ------------------ attorney for collection of any payment due hereunder or is collected through any legal proceeding; (b) an attorney is retained to represent Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors' rights and involving a claim under this Indemnity or any other Loan Document; (c) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the lien of the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, or to provide advice or other representation with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any of the Loan Documents; or (d) an attorney is retained to provide advice to or represent Lender in any other proceeding whatsoever in connection with this Indemnity, the Note or any other Loan Document; then Indemnitor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorney fees, court costs, filing fees, recording costs, expenses of foreclosure, premiums, survey costs and minutes of foreclosure, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, regardless of whether all or a portion of such enforcement costs are in a single proceeding brought to enforce this Indemnity as well as the other Loan Documents. The terms "attorney fees", ------------- "counsel fees" and the like, as used herein, shall include all fees for the ------------ attorneys' services whether outside or within judicial proceedings, including any arbitration, appellate and bankruptcy court proceedings, together with all costs and disbursements incurred by such attorneys. 11. Successors and Assigns. This Indemnity may be freely assigned by Lender, its ---------------------- successors, endorsees and assigns. This Indemnity shall be binding upon Indemnitor, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by Lender. 12. Entire Agreement. This Indemnity contains Indemnitor's sole and entire ---------------- understanding and agreement with respect to its entire subject matter, and all prior negotiations, discussions, commitments, representations, agreements and understandings with respect thereto are merged herein. 13. Severability. Every provision of this Indemnity is intended to be severable. ------------ If any provision of this Indemnity or the application of any provision hereof to any party or circumstance is declared to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, for any reason, by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the balance of the terms and provisions hereof or the application of the provision in question to any other party or circumstance, all of which shall continue in full force and effect. 14. Waiver of Jury Trial. Indemnitor, for itself and its Affiliates, and Lender -------------------- hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive any right they, or their respective successors or assigns, may have to a trial by jury in respect of any action or proceeding of any kind arising on, under, out of, by reason of or relating in any way to this Indemnity or any of the Loan Documents, the interpretation, breach or enforcement thereof or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statement (whether verbal or written) or action or omission of Indemnitor, Borrower or Lender. This provision is a material inducement for Lender's making of the Loan to Borrower. 15. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Indemnity shall be governed and construed ---------------------------- in accordance with the laws of the state in which the real property described in Exhibit A is located. Indemnitor hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the --------- state courts located in said state and the federal courts of the United States of America located in said state for the enforcement of Indemnitor's obligations hereunder and waives any and all personal rights under the law of any other state to object to jurisdiction within such state for the purposes of any action, suit, proceeding or litigation to enforce such obligations. 16. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, any notice, consent, request ------- or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given if delivered in accordance with the notice requirements contained in the Note, provided that the address for each Indemnitor, other than Borrower, shall be: R.

Each such Indemnitor agrees that, until the Debt has been paid in full, such Indemnitor will not seek, accept, or retain for its own account, any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated debt.

Application of Payments. Any amounts received by Lender from any source on ----------------------- account of the Loan may be applied by Lender toward the Debt in such order and manner of application as Lender may deem appropriate. 19.

Contemporaneously with this Certificate, Lender is making a loan to Borrower in the original principal amount of $11,625,000.00 (the "Loan") that is ---- evidenced by a Promissory Note (the "Note") of even date herewith executed by ---- Borrower to the order of Lender. The Note is secured by the Security Instrument (as defined in the Note) and the Other Security Documents (as defined in the Security Instrument). B. Lender has required the execution and delivery of this Certificate in connection with the making of the Loan. NOW THEREFORE, Borrower certifies, represents and warrants to Lender that: 1. Borrower is the owner of the real and personal property described in the Security Instrument (the "Property"), including without limitation, the real -------- property described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. Borrower --------- is the only person (other than Lender) who possesses any interest in the right to receive any payments due under the Leases (as defined in the Security Instrument). 2. The Property is now free of all liens, encumbrances and all other matters affecting title thereto except: (a) for those matters shown in the lender's title insurance policy issued to Lender insuring the lien of the Security Instrument; and (b) the financing statements described in Exhibit B attached --------- hereto and made a part hereof. 3. All improvements located upon the Property have been fully completed and all costs and expenses of construction have been fully paid. Except current bills for minor maintenance and repair (none of which are overdue), complete and final payment has been made for all construction, repairs or new improvements made to the Property within the applicable period for filing lien claims in the state in which the real property encumbered by the Security Instrument is located. 4. Except as disclosed on Exhibit B, there are no chattel mortgages, conditional --------- sales contracts, bills of sale, financing statements, retention of title agreements, security agreements or equipment or personal property leases affecting, or any unpaid bills related to, any portion of the Property, including without limitation, any fixtures, attachments, appliances, equipment, machinery and other articles attached to or located on or within the Property. 5. Except for the tenancy rights of tenants under the Leases (none of which tenants hold any unrecorded deeds, contracts or options to purchase all or any part of the Property), Borrower is in possession of the Property and there are no other persons, firms, corporations or entities having any right of possession of any of the Property under any lease, option, deed or other written instrument of any kind or character. 6. Borrower possesses all necessary approvals and authority to execute and deliver the Note, the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents. 7. Neither Borrower nor any managing member, general partner or similar controlling entity in Borrower is the subject of any pending: (a) petition in bankruptcy (voluntary or otherwise); (b) assignment for the benefit of creditors; (c) petition for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, extension or adjustment of any obligations of Borrower or any managing member, general partner or similar controlling entity in Borrower; or (d) other action or proceeding brought under any federal or state bankruptcy laws or any similar laws.

All financial statements and other financial information previously submitted to Lender by Borrower are true, correct and complete in all material respects and fairly present the financial condition of Borrower or the Property for the specified period(s) of time, and (except as disclosed to Lender in writing) no material adverse changes in the financial condition of either Borrower or the Property have occurred from the date of such financial statements and other financial information. 9. The Property is in good repair and free of any waste, defective condition or damage by fire or other cause which has not been repaired. The Property is not subject to any pending condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, and based upon Borrower's best knowledge, after diligent inquiry, no such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are pending or threatened against any of the Property. 10.

Borrower executed and delivered the Note, the Security Instrument and Other Security Documents and received and applied the proceeds of the Loan for its own account and not as an agent, nominee or trustee for any other party or entity. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purposes of financing the construction or rehabilitation of the Property, for personal, family or household purposes, or for the purpose (whether immediate, incidental or ultimate) of "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin security", as such terms are defined in Regulation G (12 C.F.R., Chapter II, Part 207) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred for any such purpose. 12. Borrower has obtained all required inspections, licenses, permits, authorizations, certificates and approvals of all applicable governmental authorities and agencies for the use, occupancy and operation of the Property in accordance with the intended uses previously communicated to Lender in writing, including without limitation, certificates of occupancy and fire underwriter certificates. No notice has been received by Borrower that it has failed to obtain any such inspections, licenses, permits, authorizations, certificates and approvals. 13. Borrower has complied with, and the Property is in compliance with, all laws, statutes, rules, regulations, codes, ordinances and insurance requirements applicable to the Property (the "Applicable Laws") related to the construction, --------------- use, occupancy or operation of the Property, including without limitation, those related to zoning, building, land use, the environment, pollution control, fire, health and safety. There are presently no pending actions or proceedings of any kind instituted by any governmental authority or agency against Borrower based upon any charge or complaint that any of the Property, or the operation thereof, is in material non-compliance with, or is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or in violation of any of the Applicable Laws, and, as of the date hereof, no notice has been received by Borrower that any such action or proceeding is imminent or is being considered. 14. As of the date hereof, Borrower is: (a) in good standing in and is qualified to do business in the state of its organization; (b) in good standing in and is authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located; and (c) a special purpose and single asset entity, which holds no material assets other than the Property, has no material debt other than the Loan (except for trade payables or accrued expenses in the ordinary course of business) and is engaged in no other business other than owning and operating the Property. Borrower (and the undersigned representative of Borrower, if any) represents that Borrower has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations pursuant to the Note, the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents and that the Note, the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of Borrower. 15. Neither Borrower nor any person or entity owning a beneficial interest in Borrower is a "foreign person", "foreign corporation", "foreign partnership", "foreign trust", or "foreign estate" under the provisions of Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code. Borrower's federal taxpayer identification number is set forth immediately following its signature below. 16.

Sandidge -------------------------------- Notary Public My Commission Expires: 8-20-07 EXHIBIT A Legal Description ----------------- The real property situated in the County of Maricopa, State of Arizona, described as follows: Lot 1, DEER VALLEY FINANCIAL CENTER, a subdivision recorded in Book 542 of Maps, page 42, and Certificate of Correction recorded in Recording No. 2003-0591121, records of Maricopa County, Arizona EXHIBIT B Financing Statements and Other Encumbrances ------------------------------------------- Financing Statements: NONE Other Encumbrances: NONE Loan No. 94-0950186 NON-RECOURSE INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT -------------------------------------- THIS NON-RECOURSE INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the "Indemnity") is --------- entered into as of September 18, 2003, by the undersigned ("Indemnitor") in ---------- favor of PNC Bank, National Association ("Lender"). ------ RECITALS: --------- A. Contemporaneously with this Indemnity, Deer Valley Financial Center, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, Huntington Company, L.L.C., an Arizona limited liability company, Geneva Company, L.L.C., an Arizona limited liability company, and Metzger Deer Valley, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively "Borrower") have executed and delivered a Promissory Note -------- (the "Note") to Lender evidencing Lender's loan to Borrower in the amount of ---- $11,625,000.00 (the "Loan"). ---- B. The Note is secured by, among other security: (i) the Security Instrument (as defined in the Note); and (ii) the Other Security Documents (as defined in the Security Instrument). The Note, the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Loan ---- Documents". --------- C. As a condition to making the Loan, Lender has required that Indemnitor indemnify Lender with respect to the matters set forth herein. D. The extension of the Loan to Borrower is a substantial benefit to Indemnitor, and Indemnitor therefore has agreed to provide Lender the indemnity described herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of Lender making the Loan and other valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Indemnitor agrees as follows: 1. Certain Defined Terms. Unless otherwise expressly herein provided, each --------------------- defined term in this Indemnity, as indicated by the initial capitalization thereof, shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Documents. Each reference to the "Indemnitor" shall include "Indemnitors" in reference to all Indemnitors ---------- ----------- collectively, if there are more than one. 2. Indemnity. Indemnitor hereby assumes liability for and agrees to pay, --------- protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender (and any assignee or purchaser of all or any interest in the Note and the Security Instrument) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees), causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments which at any time may be imposed upon, incurred by or awarded against Lender and for which Borrower at any time may be personally liable pursuant to the Non-Recourse Exceptions (as defined in the Note). Each person or party executing the Indemnity agrees that the liability hereunder shall be joint and several. 3. Absolute Indemnity; Waiver of Subrogation and Other Rights. This Indemnity is ---------------------------------------------------------- absolute, unconditional, present and continuing. It is not conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to enforce Lender's rights against Borrower or the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Security Instrument), to collect from Borrower or any other person or entity or upon any other condition or contingency not set forth herein. Lender shall have the right to proceed against Indemnitor without taking any prior action to enforce the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the obligations of any other indemnitor under any indemnity. Furthermore, Lender in its sole discretion, without prior notice to or consent of Indemnitor, may elect to: (a) foreclose either judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property security it may hold for the Loan; (b) accept a transfer of any such security in lieu of foreclosure; (c) compromise or adjust the Loan or any part of it or make any other accommodation with Borrower or Indemnitor; or (d) exercise any other remedy against Borrower or any security. No such action by Lender shall release or limit the liability of Indemnitor, who shall remain liable under this Indemnity after the action, even if the effect of the action is to deprive Indemnitor of any subrogation rights, rights of indemnity, or other rights to collect reimbursement from Borrower for any sums paid to Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise. Indemnitor expressly agrees that under no circumstances shall it be deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim in or to any real or personal property to be held by Lender or any third party after any foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of any security for the Loan. The rights and remedies of Lender under this Indemnity shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity. Regardless of whether Indemnitor may have made any payments to Lender, Indemnitor forever waives: (I) all rights of subrogation, all rights of indemnity, and any other rights to collect reimbursement from Borrower for any sums paid to Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise; (II) all rights to enforce any remedy that Lender may have against Borrower; and (III) all rights to participate in any security now or later to be held by Lender for the Loan. 4. Extent of Liability; Waivers. Indemnitor's liability hereunder shall not be ---------------------------- affected by: (a) any amendment or modification of the Loan Documents; or (b) any extensions of time for performance under the Loan Documents, whether prior to or after maturity; or (c) the release of any collateral securing the Loan, or the release (by operation of law or otherwise) of Borrower or any other indemnitor from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents (whether such amendments, modifications, extensions or releases are made with or without notice to Indemnitor); or (d) the failure to give Indemnitor any notices of acceptance, default or otherwise; or (e) any other indemnity now or hereafter executed by any other person in connection with the Loan; or (f) any rights, powers or privileges Lender may now or hereafter have against any person, entity or collateral; or (g) any assignment for the benefit of creditors by Borrower or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower; or (h) any appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee (other than any receiver appointed at Lender's request) for Borrower or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower or for any of the properties of Borrower; or (i) any filing of a petition by or against Borrower or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower, for relief pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar statute; or (j) the institution of any proceedings for the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower; or (k) any relief or discharge granted Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other debtor relief laws (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise). Under no circumstances shall any payment received by Lender, from Borrower or otherwise, which is returned by Lender by reason of the avoidance powers granted pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law or for any other reason, regardless of whether Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment, result in any reduction of Indemnitor's liability hereunder. Indemnitor waives any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of Borrower's assets or to cause Lender to proceed at any time or in any particular order against Borrower, Indemnitor, any other person or entity and/or any collateral securing the Loan. To the extent allowed by applicable law, Indemnitor expressly waives and relinquishes all defenses, counterclaims, rights and remedies now or hereafter accorded by applicable law to indemnitors, guarantors or sureties, including, without limitation, those arising out of or related to the following: (I) any extension of time for payment; (II) notice of acceptance of this Indemnity by Lender and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law; (III) any defense, right of offset or other claim which Indemnitor may have against Borrower or which Indemnitor or Borrower may have against Lender or the holder of the Note; (IV) presentment for payment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Indemnitor with liability; (V) any failure by Lender to inform Indemnitor of any facts Lender may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the Mortgaged Property, the Loan or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that Lender has no duty so to inform; (VI) any failure by Lender to perfect or continue the perfection of any lien, security interest or similar rights against any of the Mortgaged Property; and (VII) all rights of redemption, homestead, dower, and other rights or exemptions of every kind, whether under common law or by statute. 5. Financial Reports. All of the financial statements and information delivered ----------------- to Lender in connection with the Loan are true and correct in all respects, and unless otherwise set forth in the certificate attached thereto, fairly present Indemnitor's financial condition as of the dates thereof; and no adverse change has occurred in Indemnitor's financial condition reflected in such financial statements since the date thereof. Indemnitor agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered to Lender any and all future financial statements or other financial information required by the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document. Indemnitor has disclosed to Lender all events, conditions, and facts known to Indemnitor which are likely to have an adverse effect on the financial condition of Indemnitor. No representation or warranty by Indemnitor contained herein, nor any schedule, certificate or other document furnished by Indemnitor to Lender in connection with this Indemnity or the Loan contains any misstatement of fact or omits to state any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. 6. No Waiver by Lender. No delay on Lender's part in exercising any right, power ------------------- or privilege under any of the Loan Documents, this Indemnity or any other document executed by Indemnitor in connection with the Loan shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege. 7. Additional Waivers. Indemnitor waives any defense to its obligations ------------------ hereunder based on: (a) the claim that the Loan Documents were not duly authorized and executed by Borrower and are not legal, valid and binding instruments, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms; or (b) an avoidance action. 8. Rights of Action. Lender shall have the right to join Borrower and/or ---------------- Indemnitor in any action or proceeding commenced by Lender pursuant to the rights, powers and privileges Lender now or hereafter may possess under this Indemnity or, at Lender's option, Lender may commence any action or proceeding directly against Indemnitor without joining Borrower or anyone else in such action or proceeding. In the event any such action or proceeding arising on, under, out of or by reason of or relating in any way to this Indemnity or the interpretation, breach or enforcement thereof is brought against Indemnitor, service of process may be made on Indemnitor by certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address set forth herein or such other address as Lender is notified of by notice similarly sent. 9. Costs and Expenses. If: (a) this Indemnity is placed in the hands of an ------------------ attorney for collection of any payment due hereunder or is collected through any legal proceeding; (b) an attorney is retained to represent Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors' rights and involving a claim under this Indemnity or any other Loan Document; (c) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the lien of the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, or to provide advice or other representation with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any of the Loan Documents; or (d) an attorney is retained to provide advice to or represent Lender in any other proceeding whatsoever in connection with this Indemnity, the Note or any other Loan Document; then Indemnitor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorney fees, court costs, filing fees, recording costs, expenses of foreclosure, premiums, survey costs and minutes of foreclosure, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, regardless of whether all or a portion of such enforcement costs are in a single proceeding brought to enforce this Indemnity as well as the other Loan Documents. The terms "attorney fees", ------------- "counsel fees" and the like, as used herein, shall include all fees for the ------------ attorneys' services whether outside or within judicial proceedings, including any arbitration, appellate and bankruptcy court proceedings, together with all costs and disbursements incurred by such attorneys. 10. Successors and Assigns. This Indemnity may be freely assigned by Lender, its ---------------------- successors, endorsees and assigns. All stipulations, obligations, liabilities and undertakings hereunder shall be binding upon Indemnitor and the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Indemnitor and shall inure to Lender's benefit and to the benefit of Lender's successors and assigns and to the benefit of each and every holder of any of the Loan Documents and to the benefit of anyone claiming title to any collateral sold by Lender pursuant to Lender's rights, powers and privileges under the Loan Documents and shall not be discharged or affected by the death of Indemnitor. 11. Entire Agreement. This Indemnity contains Indemnitor's sole and entire ---------------- understanding and agreement with respect to its entire subject matter, and all prior negotiations, discussions, commitments, representations, agreements and understandings with respect thereto are merged herein. 12. Severability. Every provision of this Indemnity is intended to be severable. ------------ If any provision of this Indemnity or the application of any provision hereof to any party or circumstance is declared to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, for any reason, by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the balance of the terms and provisions hereof or the application of the provision in question to any other party or circumstance, all of which shall continue in full force and effect. 13. Waiver of Jury Trial. Indemnitor and Lender hereby knowingly, voluntarily -------------------- and intentionally waive any right they, or their respective successors or assigns, may have to a trial by jury in respect of any action or proceeding of any kind arising on, under, out of, by reason of or relating in any way to this Indemnity or any of the Loan Documents, the interpretation, breach or enforcement thereof or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statement (whether verbal or written) or action or omission of Indemnitor, Borrower or Lender. This provision is a material inducement for Lender's making of the Loan to Borrower. 14. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Indemnity shall be governed and construe ---------------------------- in accordance with the laws of the state in which the real property encumbered by the Security Instrument is located. Indemnitor hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the state courts located in said state and the federal courts of the United States of America located in said state for the enforcement of Indemnitor's obligations hereunder and waives any and all personal rights under the law of any other state to object to jurisdiction within such state for the purposes of any action, suit, proceeding or litigation to enforce such obligations of Indemnitor. 15. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, any notice, consent, request ------- or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given if delivered in accordance with the notice requirements contained in the Note, provided that the address for the Indemnitor shall be: R.

Subordinate Debt. Any indebtedness of Borrower to Indemnitor now or ---------------- hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the Debt (as defined in the Note). Indemnitor agrees that, until the Debt has been paid in full, Indemnitor will not seek, accept, or retain for Indemnitor's own account, any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated debt. Any such payments received by Indemnitor shall be held in trust for Lender and shall be paid over to Lender on account of the Debt without reducing, impairing or releasing the obligations of Indemnitor hereunder. 17. Application of Payments. Any amounts received by Lender from any source on ----------------------- account of the Loan may be applied by Lender toward the Debt in such order and manner of application as Lender may deem appropriate. 18.

No termination, modification or waiver of any provisions of this Indemnity shall be binding upon Lender except as expressly set forth in writing duly signed and delivered by Lender. 21. Terms of Payments. Any and all amounts required to be paid by Indemnitor ----------------- hereunder shall be paid to Lender, on demand, at Lender's office in Overland Park, Kansas, or such other place as shall be designated by Lender. 22.

In the event of such a joint disbursement, Borrower shall not be required to have paid for such work prior to requesting the reimbursement, but Borrower shall be required to have satisfied all the other conditions of this Agreement for such disbursement. 7. Disbursement Fees. Borrower shall pay PNC Bank a nonrefundable fee (each, a ----------------- "Disbursement Fee") as a condition to each disbursement under this Agreement as ---------------- compensation for PNC Bank's review, analysis and processing of such disbursement. The Disbursement Fee shall be $150.00 for each requested disbursement. 8. Default by Borrower. Any failure of Borrower to comply with the terms of this ------------------- Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be an Event of Default, and shall entitle PNC Bank to pursue any and all remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, at law or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, PNC Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, without notice or demand on Borrower: (a) to withdraw any or all of the Escrow Funds and to disburse and apply the same, after deducting all costs and expenses of safekeeping, collection and delivery (including, but not limited to, attorney fees, costs and expenses) to the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document in such manner as PNC Bank shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion; (b) to complete any such acts, in the Borrower's stead, in such manner and to the extent PNC Bank deems necessary to fulfill the purpose of this Agreement; (c) to exercise any and all rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) to exercise any other remedies available at law or in equity. No such use or application of the Escrow Funds shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Any disbursement made by PNC Bank shall continue to be part of the Loan and secured by the Loan Documents. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct disbursement by PNC Bank and all such disbursements shall satisfy the obligation of PNC Bank hereunder and shall be secured by the Loan Documents as fully as if made directly to Borrower. 9. Maintenance of Property by Borrower. Notwithstanding the amount of any Escrow ----------------------------------- Funds hereunder, Borrower shall maintain the Property in such a manner as to allow the Property to remain consistently competitive in its market. Without limiting any rights PNC Bank or its selected representatives may possess under the Loan Documents to inspect the Property, PNC Bank shall have the right to conduct physical inspections of the Property to ensure Borrower is appropriately maintaining the Property. Following any such inspection, should PNC Bank determine that the Property has not been maintained in such a manner as to remain consistently competitive in its market, PNC Bank shall have the right to demand that Borrower complete corrective measures within a ninety (90) day period of time. Failure of Borrower to complete such corrective measures within such period shall constitute an Event of Default and shall entitle PNC Bank to exercise all remedies available to it, including, without limitation, advancing Escrow Funds and performing Borrower's obligations hereunder. 10. Indemnity. Borrower represents and warrants to PNC Bank that as of the date --------- hereof, complete and final payment has been made for all construction, repairs or new improvements made to the Property and there are no liens or outstanding claims for which a lien could be recorded against the Property. Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds PNC Bank harmless against all claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including attorney fees), which PNC Bank may incur arising from the inaccuracy of the foregoing representation and warranty, any breach by Borrower of this Agreement, any action taken by PNC Bank hereunder and/or any and all claims and demands asserted against PNC Bank arising out of this Agreement; excepting, however, those based upon its willful misconduct or gross negligence. The amount of any such claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses, with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), shall be payable by the Borrower immediately upon demand and, if not so paid, may be reimbursed by withdrawal from the Escrow Account. 11. Disbursement of Disputed Escrow Funds. In the event any adverse claims are ------------------------------------- made upon the Escrow Funds, then, at PNC Bank's option: (a) PNC Bank shall not deliver the Escrow Funds to any person, shall refuse to comply with any claims on it and shall continue to hold the Escrow Funds until (i) PNC Bank, Borrower and any other person who may have asserted a claim upon the Escrow Funds shall agree in writing to a delivery of the Escrow Funds, in which event PNC Bank shall then deliver the Escrow Funds in accordance with such written agreement, or (ii) PNC Bank receives a certified copy of a final and nonappealable judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing the delivery of the Escrow Funds, in which event PNC Bank shall then deliver the Escrow Funds in accordance with such judgment or order; or (b) if PNC Bank shall receive a written notice advising that litigation over the Escrow Funds has been commenced, PNC Bank may deposit the Escrow Funds with the Clerk of the Court in which such litigation is pending; or (c) PNC Bank may take affirmative steps (i) to substitute for itself an impartial party reasonably satisfactory to PNC Bank and Borrower, (ii) to deposit the Escrow Funds with a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) to commence an action for interpleader, the costs thereof to be borne by Borrower. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any dispute between Borrower and PNC Bank. 12. Limitation of Liability of PNC Bank. ----------------------------------- (a) PNC Bank shall have no liability to any person based upon its errors in judgment, its performance of its duties under this Agreement, any claimed failure to perform its duties hereunder, any action taken or omitted in good faith or any mistake of fact or law; provided that PNC Bank shall be liable for damages arising out of its gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

(c) PNC Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any cash, instruments, wire transfer or any other property delivered to it hereunder, for the value or collectibility of any check or other instrument so delivered or for any representation made or obligations assumed by Borrower or any other party to the Loan Documents. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate PNC Bank to deliver any cash or any other funds or property referred to herein, unless the same shall have first been received by PNC Bank pursuant to this Agreement. (d) In no event whatsoever shall PNC Bank be liable for any losses related to the Escrow Funds resulting from an investment of Escrow Funds made in accordance with the terms hereof. (e) Upon the assignment of the Loan and the Loan Documents by PNC Bank, any Escrow Funds then held by PNC Bank shall be turned over to the assignee and all responsibility of PNC Bank with respect thereto shall be terminated. 13. Assignment. Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to PNC Bank, as additional ---------- security for the Loan, its rights under any contract entered into by Borrower related to any matters for which reimbursement could be sought by Borrower under this Agreement. Any such contract shall provide that PNC Bank shall have the right to require performance of such contract but shall have no liability for any amounts owed by Borrower and incurred prior to the date PNC Bank exercises its rights herein provided to require performance. 14. Notices. Any notice, consent, request or other communication required or ------- permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given if delivered in accordance with the notice requirements contained in the Note. 15. Governing Law. The terms and provisions hereof shall be governed by and ------------- construed in accordance with the laws of the State. 16. Binding Agreement. This Agreement is freely assignable by PNC Bank, its ----------------- successors, endorsees and assigns, and shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, including any assignee of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be deemed or construed to (a) permit the assignment by Borrower of any of Borrower's rights or obligations hereunder, or (b) confer any right, title, benefit, cause of action or remedy upon any person or entity not a party hereto except for assignees of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents. 17. Captions. The captions, headings and arrangements used in this Agreement are -------- for convenience only and do not in any way affect, limit, amplify or modify the terms and provisions hereof. 18. Rules of Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its --------------------- counsel have reviewed and have had input in the drafting of this Agreement. The parties hereby agree that normal rules of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits hereto. For purposes of this Agreement the word "person" shall include an individual, ------ corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, limited partnership, partnership, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority and any other entity. 19. No Third Party Beneficiaries. No person not a party to this Agreement shall ---------------------------- have any third party beneficiary claim or other right hereunder or with respect hereto. 20. Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, --------- changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or PNC Bank, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, ------------ each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. 22.

At such time as the "Debt" ------------------------------------------------ ---- (as defined in the Security Instrument), is paid in full, PNC Bank shall return any funds then on deposit in the Escrow Account to Borrower. 23. Remedies Not Exclusive. PNC Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement ---------------------- are cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, at law or in equity. No delay or omission of PNC Bank to exercise any of its rights or powers shall impair or be a waiver of such right or power. The resort to any remedy hereunder shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other remedy PNC Bank may have. 24. Additional Terms and Provisions. Certain additional and supplemental terms ------------------------------- and provisions of this Agreement are set forth in this paragraph. The terms and provisions of this paragraph control and supersede any conflicting terms and provisions contained in this Agreement. (a) Maximum Escrow Amount. The parties intend that the Escrow Funds shall have --------------------- maximum balance during the term of the Loan of $50,628.00 (the "Maximum Escrow -------------- Amount"). Therefore, if at any time during the term of the Loan the Escrow Funds ------ hereunder equal or exceed the Maximum Escrow Amount, Borrower may cease making the monthly escrow deposits required hereunder. However, should disbursements from the Escrow Funds thereafter reduce the balance thereof below the Maximum Escrow Amount, then Borrower must recommence making the full monthly escrow deposits required hereunder until such time, if ever, that the Escrow Funds once again reach the Maximum Escrow Amount. (b) Investment Income. PNC Bank agrees that during any period when no Event of ----------------- Default exists, any income from the investment of the Escrow Funds shall be added to and become part of the Escrow Account; provided, however, that PNC Bank does not warrant or guarantee any rate of return on the Escrow Funds and the provisions of this Agreement relating to PNC Bank's liability for the investment of the Escrow Funds remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Funds shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by PNC Bank. Borrower agrees that its federal taxpayer identification number shall be used to create the Escrow Account, all income from the investment of the Escrow Funds shall be reported for federal and state income tax purposes as Borrower's income and Borrower shall be fully liable for all taxes applicable to the Escrow Funds. Borrower hereby authorizes PNC Bank to provide Borrower's federal taxpayer identification number to any applicable depository institution and federal and state agencies to ensure that such income is attributed to Borrower for taxation purposes. Borrower agrees that it will promptly take any actions and execute any instruments requested by PNC Bank to facilitate the reporting of such income as Borrower's income. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement to be effective the day and year set forth above.

Borrower agrees to execute and deliver on demand any and all documentation requested by PNC Bank to further evidence or perfect such assignment, including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements. Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints PNC Bank as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and transfer, to execute and deliver any and all such documentation.

For purposes of this Agreement the word "person" shall include an individual, corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, limited partnership, partnership, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority and any other entity. 18. No Third Party Beneficiaries. No person not a party to this ---------------------------- Agreement shall have any third party beneficiary claim or other right hereunder or with respect hereto. 19. Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, --------- waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or PNC Bank, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. 20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of ------------ counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. 21.

Remedies Not Exclusive. PNC Bank's rights and remedies under ---------------------- this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, at law or in equity.

Certain additional and ------------------------------- supplemental terms and provisions of this Agreement are set forth in this paragraph.

The parties intend that the Escrow --------------------- Funds shall have maximum balance during the term of the Loan of $400,000.00 (the "Maximum Escrow Amount"). Therefore, if at any time during the term of the Loan --------------------- the Escrow Funds hereunder equal or exceed the Maximum Escrow Amount, Borrower may cease making the monthly escrow deposits required hereunder. However, should disbursements from the Escrow Funds thereafter reduce the balance thereof below the Maximum Escrow Amount, then Borrower must recommence making the full monthly escrow deposits required hereunder until such time, if ever, that the Escrow Funds once again reach the Maximum Escrow Amount. (b) Investment Income. PNC Bank agrees that during any period when ----------------- no Event of Default exists, any income from the investment of the Escrow Funds shall be added to and become part of the Escrow Account; provided, however, that PNC Bank does not warrant or guarantee any rate of return on the Escrow Funds and the provisions of this Agreement relating to PNC Bank's liability for the investment of the Escrow Funds remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Funds shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by PNC Bank. Borrower agrees that its federal taxpayer identification number shall be used to create the Escrow Account, all income from the investment of the Escrow Funds shall be reported for federal and state income tax purposes as Borrower's income and Borrower shall be fully liable for all taxes applicable to the Escrow Funds. Borrower hereby authorizes PNC Bank to provide Borrower's federal taxpayer identification number to any applicable depository institution and federal and state agencies to ensure that such income is attributed to Borrower for taxation purposes. Borrower agrees that it will promptly take any actions and execute any instruments requested by PNC Bank to facilitate the reporting of such income as Borrower's income. (c) Independent Leasing Agent. It is agreed that Hannay Investment ------------------------- Properties is deemed an Independent Leasing Agent for purposes of receiving up to a 2% commission on a Renewal Lease. (d) Renewal Lease Tenants. Paragraph 1(a) is amended to read as --------------------- follows: "(a) with a tenant approved by PNC Bank in its reasonable discretion, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (PNC Bank agreeing that it shall be deemed to have approved a tenant if it has not responded to Borrower's request for such approval within 15 days after its receipt of Borrower's request for such approval);". (e) Renewal Leases. The definition of the term "Renewal Lease" in -------------- ------------- Paragraph 1 is amended to read as follows: "A "Renewal Lease" is any lease that is a renewal of or a ------------- replacement for a then existing lease for space in the Property, or any lease for space in the property that was vacant as of the closing of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 1, any lease that is either approved pursuant to the terms of the Assignment of Leases and Rents executed by Borrower contemporaneously herewith, or for with no such approval is required, shall also be deemed a Renewal Lease. (f) Disbursements. Paragraphs 6(a)(i) and 6(a)(ii) are amended to ------------- read as follows: "(i) With respect to a requested disbursement for tenant improvements related to a Renewal Lease, certifying that work on such tenant improvements included in the disbursement request have been completed and that all costs in connection therewith have been paid, or will be paid with the requested funds, and that Borrower has reimbursed, or will reimburse with the requested funds, the related tenant for any amounts paid by such tenant for such improvements. Simultaneously with submitting such affidavit, Borrower shall also submit: (1) lien waivers from the general contractor, any subcontractors and all materialmen and suppliers showing that they have been paid for all work and that no liens are claimed; and (2) if the requested disbursement include the final work required to any space covered by a Renewal Lease, (A) a written confirmation from the related tenant that it has accepted the space and the improvements made and has been paid all amounts, including any credits against rent, owed it by reason of such improvements; (B) a certified copy of the fully executed lease of the related tenant; and (C) if required by PNC Bank, an estoppel certificate and a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from the related tenant in form and content acceptable to PNC Bank. (ii) With respect to a requested disbursement for any leasing commissions related to a Renewal Lease, certifying that Borrower has entered into an arms-length Renewal Lease which satisfies the requirements set forth herein and that in connection with such Renewal Lease, Borrower has paid, or will pay with the requested funds, a leasing commission to an Independent Leasing Agent. Simultaneously with submitting such affidavit, Borrower shall also submit written verification from the related tenant that the Renewal Lease has been executed and from the related Independent Leasing Agent that the applicable leasing commission has been paid, or will be paid with the requested funds." (g) Monthly Disbursements. Paragraph 6(d) is amended to read as --------------------- follows: "All disbursements requested by Borrower shall be at least $5,000 and no requests for disbursements shall be made more often than once during any calendar month."

Borrower hereby agrees that the advancement of funds from the Lockbox Account as set forth herein is at Borrower's direction and is not the exercise by Lender of any right of set-off or other remedy upon an Event of Default. Borrower hereby waives all right to withdraw funds from the Lockbox Account, except upon full satisfaction of all amounts owing under the Loan. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver on demand any and all documentation requested by Lender or Servicer to further evidence or perfect such assignment, including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.

The Letter of Credit must be either automatically renewable on an annual basis, or if not, Borrower must cause a replacement Letter of Credit or extended Letter of Credit satisfying the terms hereof to be issued to PNC Bank not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the existing Letter of Credit.

(c) The Letter of Credit must contain no conditions to a draw thereon other than as set forth in the Letter of Credit, and the LOC Amendments.

Draw on Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall only be drawn on ------------------------ in accordance with the following terms and conditions: (a) The Letter of Credit shall only be drawn on in accordance with its terms. (b) If no Event of Default, or an event or condition that, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, exists as of the date of a default by Blackboard under the terms of the Blackboard Lease (a "Lease Default"), ------------- PNC Bank, at its option: (i) may draw on the Letter of Credit without requiring any documentation or consent from Borrower; (ii) may require Borrower to deliver to PNC Bank an acceptable affidavit specifying the applicable Lease Default and that the Letter of Credit is allowed to be drawn pursuant to the terms of the Blackboard Lease, together with an indemnity from an acceptable person or entity indemnifying and holding PNC Bank harmless against all claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including attorney fees), which PNC Bank may incur arising from the draw under the Letter of Credit; or (iii) transfer the Letter of Credit to Borrower whereupon Borrower will proceed to draw down the Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds of such draw with PNC Bank pursuant to the terms of the Blackboard Escrow Agreement to be held and disbursed pursuant to the terms thereof. (c) If an Event of Default, or an event or condition that, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, does not exist as of the date of a Lease Default, PNC Bank, at its option, may either draw on the Letter of Credit without requiring any documentation or consent from Borrower, or continue to hold the Letter of Credit as additioanl collateral for the Loan. (d) It shall be a non-curable Event of Default if Borrower fails to provide PNC Bank written notice that the Letter of Credit may be drawn on pursuant to the terms of the Blackboard Lease. (e) It is the parties' intent that the Letter of Credit be additional collateral for the Loan. Immediately following any draw on the Letter of Credit, Borrower agrees that all proceeds of such draw shall be deposited in escrow with PNC Bank pursuant to the terms of the Blackboard Escrow Agreement to be held and disbursed pursuant to the terms thereof.
