which are applicable to secured transactions; it being understood and agreed
that the Improvements and Fixtures are part and parcel of the Land (the Land,
the Improvements and the Fixtures collectively referred to as the "REAL
PROPERTY") appropriated to the use thereof and, whether affixed or annexed to
the Real Property or not, shall for the purposes of this Security Instrument be
deemed conclusively to be real estate and conveyed hereby.
Section 1.2 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. Borrower hereby absolutely and
unconditionally assigns to Lender all of Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to 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. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of
the Assignment of Leases and Section 7.1(h) of this Security Instrument, Lender
grants to Borrower a revocable license to collect, receive, use and enjoy the
Rents. Borrower shall hold the Rents, or a portion thereof sufficient to
discharge all current sums due on the Debt, for use in the payment of such sums.
Section 1.3 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. The Property includes both real and personal property
and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or
4
intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering
this Security Instrument, Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as security for the
Obligations (hereinafter defined), a security interest in the Fixtures, the
Equipment and the Personal Property to the full extent that the Fixtures, the
Equipment and the Personal Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial
Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code
being called the "COLLATERAL"). If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, Lender, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it 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 Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and
preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Lender after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at
its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a
convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to
Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including
reasonable legal expenses and attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by Lender in
protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder
with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action
by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the
provisions hereof at least ten (10) business days prior to such action, shall,
except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to
Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by
Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in
its discretion shall deem proper. Borrower's (Debtor's) principal place of
business is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Lender (Secured
Party) is as set forth on page one hereof.
Section 1.4 FIXTURE FILING. Certain of the Property is or will become
"fixtures" (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land,
described or referred to in this Security Instrument, and this Security
Instrument, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the city
or county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing
statement naming Borrower as the Debtor and Lender as the Secured Party filed as
a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform
Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become fixtures.
Section 1.5 PLEDGES OF MONIES HELD. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender
any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of Lender,
including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Clearing Account, the
Reserve Funds and Net Proceeds, as additional security for the Obligations until
expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.
CONDITIONS TO GRANT
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto and
to the use and benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, forever;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that,
if Borrower shall well and truly pay to Lender the Debt at the time and in the
manner provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement and this Security Instrument,
shall well and truly perform the Other Obligations as set forth in this Security
Instrument and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every
covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Note, the Loan Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall
cease, terminate and be void; provided, however, that Borrower's obligation to
indemnify and hold harmless Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof shall
survive any such payment or release.
Article 2 - DEBT AND OBLIGATIONS SECURED
Section 2.1 DEBT. This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments
and transfers made in Article 1 are given for the purpose of securing the Debt

in any way materially impair the value of the Property or the security of this
Security Instrument. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of
Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or
production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Land,
regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.
Section 3.6 PAYMENT FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS. (a) Borrower will promptly
pay when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically

inferior to the liens and the security interests hereof, and in any event never
permit to be created or exist in respect of the Property or any part thereof any
other or additional lien or security interest other than the liens or security
interests hereof except for the Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own

Material Costs, together with all interest and penalties thereon.
Section 3.7 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING GROUND LEASE.

contingent rent, taxes and all other sums and charges when due and payable under
the terms of the Ground Lease, shall fully and promptly perform and observe all

agreement to be observed or performed under the Ground Lease on the part of
Borrower, or if Lender receives from Lessor any notice of any default by
Borrower thereunder, Lender may rely on such notice and may take any action that
Lender in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable to cure such default,
even if the existence of such default or the nature thereof is questioned or
denied by Borrower; provided, however, that Lender shall not take any action to
cure such default if, and so long as (i) Borrower shall take all steps necessary
to challenge or take any action to cure such default; and (ii) during such
challenge or cure: (A) the interests of Lender may in no way be adversely
affected, (B) no time limits or grace periods under the Ground Lease would
expire which would give Lessor any right or option to terminate the Ground
Lease, and (C) no additional right or remedy would become available to Lessor by
reason of the deferral by Lender of any action to effect a cure of the claimed
default; and (iii) if the default is a default in the payment of a sum of money,
Borrower shall post with Lender security acceptable to Lender to pay the amount
in dispute. Borrower hereby expressly grants to Lender the absolute and
immediate right to enter in and upon the Land to such extent and as often as
Lender in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to prevent or cure
any default by Borrower under the Ground Lease or this Security Instrument.
Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as Lender in its sole discretion
deems necessary for any such purpose, and upon so doing shall be subrogated to
any and all rights of Borrower, as lessee, and all such sums shall be secured by
the lien of this Security Instrument, shall be added to the principal amount of
the Debt and shall accrue interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan
Agreement).
(d) Without the prior written consent of the Lender, which
Lender may grant or withhold in its sole discretion, Borrower shall not: (i)
surrender the Ground Lease or terminate, cancel or release, or assign the Ground
Lease (nor permit any of the foregoing to occur), whether under Section 365 of
the Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) or under any similar law or
right of any nature, or otherwise; nor (ii) modify, abridge, change, supplement,
alter or amend the Ground Lease, either orally or in writing and hereby
irrevocably grants and assigns to Lender the power and right to modify, abridge,
change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, and no agreement seeking to
modify, abridge, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease shall be
valid or binding without the prior written consent of Lender; nor (iii) waive
any of its rights against Lessor under the Ground Lease; nor (iv) subordinate
the Ground Lease to any mortgage encumbering any portion of the Land ; nor (v)
agree to or acquiesce in any rejection or termination of the Ground Lease by
Lessor or Lessor's trustee in bankruptcy, whether under Section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) or under any similar law or
provision, and any such surrender, abandonment, termination, cancellation,
release, modification, change, supplement, alteration, amendment, waiver,
subordination, agreement or acquiescence without
7
Lender's prior written consent shall be ineffective as against Lender, and shall
constitute a default under this Security Instrument for which no grace or
curative period shall apply. In addition to the provisions of this Section
3.7(d):
(i) If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be
commenced or filed in respect of the Ground Lease by any party thereto,
in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender shall
have the option, to the exclusion of Borrower, to conduct and control
any such litigation with counsel of Lender's choice. Lender may proceed
in its own name or in the name of Borrower in connection with any such
litigation, and Borrower agrees to execute any and all powers,
authorizations, consents and other documents required by the Lender in
connection therewith. Borrower shall, upon demand, pay to Lender all
costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) paid or
incurred by Lender in connection with the prosecution or conduct of any
such proceedings. Any such costs and expenses not paid by Borrower as
aforesaid shall be secured by the lien of this Security Instrument,
shall be added to the principal amount of the Debt and shall accrue
interest at the Default Rate. Borrower shall not commence any action,
suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion,
in respect of the Ground Lease, in any case under the Bankruptcy Code
as amended from time to time without the prior written consent of
Lender.
(ii) Borrower shall promptly after obtaining knowledge
thereof, notify Lender orally of any filing by or against Borrower of a
petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall thereafter forthwith
deliver written notice of such filing to Lender, setting forth any
information available to Borrower as of the date of such filing, the
court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought therein.
Upon its receipt thereof, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender any
and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents
received by Borrower in connection with any such petition and any
proceedings relating thereto.
(iii) The lien of this Security Instrument attaches to all of
Borrower's and Lessor's rights and remedies at any time arising under
or pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (whether as Land lord
or tenant under any lease), including, without limitation, all of
Borrower's rights to remain in possession of the Land and Improvements
in the event of Lessor's rejection of the Ground Lease. Borrower shall
not, without Lender's prior written consent, elect to treat the Ground
Lease as terminated under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such
election made without Lender's prior written consent shall be void.
(iv) Borrower hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and
sets over to Lender all of Borrower's claims and rights to the payment
of damages (including but not limited to the right to any offsets or
credits) arising from any rejection of the Ground Lease by Lessor under
the Bankruptcy Code. Lender shall have the right to proceed in its own
name or in the name of Borrower in respect of any claim, suit, action
or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Ground Lease, including,
without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion
of Borrower, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications,
notices and other documents, in any case under the Bankruptcy Code.
This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional
assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall
continue in effect until all of the Debt shall have been satisfied and
discharged in full. Any amounts received by Lender as damages arising
out of the rejection of the Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be applied
first to all costs and expenses of Lender (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and costs) incurred in connection with the
exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Security
Instrument. For the purposes of construing Section 365(h) of the
Bankruptcy Code, the intention of the parties hereto is that the term
"possession" shall mean the right to possession of all of the leased
premises granted to Borrower under the Ground Lease, whether or not all
or part of the leased premises is covered by any of the Leases.
(v) If there shall be filed by or against Borrower a petition
under the Bankruptcy Code, and Borrower, as lessee under the Ground
Lease or lessor under the Leases, shall determine to reject the Ground
Lease or any of the Leases pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy
Code, Borrower shall give the Lender not less than ten days' prior
written notice of the date on which Borrower shall apply to the
bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Ground Lease or any of the
Leases. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve
upon Borrower within such ten day period a notice stating that (A) the
Lender demands that Borrower assume and assign the Lease in question to
the Lender pursuant to Section 365
8
of the Bankruptcy Code and (B) the Lender covenants to cure (or provide
adequate assurance of prompt cure of) all defaults and provide adequate
assurance of future performance under such Lease. If the Lender serves
upon Borrower the notice described in the preceding sentence, Borrower
shall not seek to reject such Lease and shall comply with the demand
provided for in clause (A) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30)
days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance
by the Lender of the covenant provided for in clause (B) of the
preceding sentence.
(e) Borrower shall require strict and full performance by
Lessor of all the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions required to be
performed and observed by Lessor under the Ground Lease.
(f) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any
claim, action or proceeding (including, but not limited to, any request for
arbitration or institution of such arbitration) made by any party to the Ground
Lease, and the progress thereof and any determination made by the court and/or
arbitrators thereunder. Lender shall have the right to participate in any such
claim, action or proceedings as an interested party.
(g) Borrower shall use its best efforts to obtain from Lessor
under the Ground Lease, and deliver to Lender within thirty (30) days after
demand from the Lender, a statement in writing certifying that the Ground Lease
is in full force and effect and the dates to which the ground rent and other
charges, if any, have been paid in advance, and stating whether or not, to the
best knowledge of Lessor, Borrower is in default in the performance of any
covenant, agreement or condition contained in the Ground Lease and if so,
specifying each such default of which Lessor has knowledge.
(h) Unless Lender shall otherwise consent in writing, the fee
simple title to the property subject to the Ground Lease shall not merge with
the leasehold estate under the Ground Lease for so long as any obligations
secured by this Security Instrument remain outstanding, but such estates shall
always remain separate and distinct estates, notwithstanding the union of any
thereof in any person whatsoever, whether by purchase or otherwise.
(i) No release or forbearance of any of Borrower's obligations
under the Ground Lease, pursuant to the Ground Lease or otherwise, shall release
the Borrower from any of its obligations under this Security Instrument, the
Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents.
(j) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have
any right to terminate the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of
Lender, and any attempt to terminate, or purported exercise of termination,
shall be void.
Section 3.8 PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall observe and
perform each and every term, covenant and provision to be observed or performed
by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document and any
other agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Property
and any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.
Section 3.9 CHANGE OF NAME, IDENTITY OR STRUCTURE. Borrower shall not
change Borrower's name, identity (including its trade name or names) or, if not
an individual, Borrower's corporate, partnership or other structure without
notifying Lender of such change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to
the effective date of such change and, in the case of a change in Borrower's
structure, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower
shall execute and deliver to Lender, prior to or contemporaneously with the
effective date of any such change, any financing statement or financing
statement change required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity,
perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein. At the request
of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender
listing the trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the Property,
and representing and warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade
name with respect to the Property.
Article 4 - OBLIGATIONS AND RELIANCES
Section 4.1 RELATIONSHIP OF BORROWER AND LENDER. The relationship
between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender
has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or
condition of any of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and
the other Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship
between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.
9
Section 4.2 NO RELIANCE ON LENDER. The general partners, members,
principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower are
experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the
Property, and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and
business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property.
Borrower is not relying on Lender's expertise, business acumen or advice in
connection with the Property.
Section 4.3 NO LENDER OBLIGATIONS. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions
of SUBSECTIONS 1.1(h) AND (n) or SECTION 1.2, Lender is not undertaking the
performance of (i) any obligations under the Leases; or (ii) any obligations
with respect to such agreements, contracts, certificates, instruments,
franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and other documents.
(b) By accepting or approving anything required to be
observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to this
Security Instrument, the Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, any officer's certificate, balance sheet,
statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or
insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or
affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such
acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation
with respect thereto by Lender.
Section 4.4 RELIANCE. Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in
accepting the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other
Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and
accuracy of the warranties and representations set forth in Section 4.1 of the
Loan Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property and
notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance
existed on the part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and
representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that
Lender would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Security Instrument
in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Section 4.1
of the Loan Agreement.
Article 5 - FURTHER ASSURANCES
Section 5.1 RECORDING OF SECURITY INSTRUMENT, ETC. Borrower forthwith
upon the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument and thereafter, from
time to time, will cause this Security Instrument and any of the other Loan
Documents creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof
upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed,
registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by
any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and
perfect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender
in, the Property. Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording
fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment
and/or recording of the Note, this Security Instrument, the other Loan
Documents, any note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security
instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance,
and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal,
state, county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges
arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Security
Instrument, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security
instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance,
and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, except where
prohibited by law so to do.
Section 5.2 FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower,
and without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and
every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, assignments,
notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to
time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning,
transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby deeded,
granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and
transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or
may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out
the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Security
Instrument or for filing, registering or recording this Security Instrument, or
for complying with all Legal Requirements. Borrower, on demand, will execute and
deliver, and in the event it shall fail to so execute and deliver, hereby
authorizes Lender to execute in the name of Borrower or without the signature of
Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, one or more financing
statements to evidence more effectively the security interest of Lender in the
Property. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled
with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights
and remedies available to Lender at law and in equity, including without
limitation such rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to this SECTION
5.2. Nothing contained in this SECTION 5.2 shall be deemed to create an
obligation on the part
10
of Borrower to pay any costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with
the Securitization or other sale or transfer of the Loan.
Section 5.3 CHANGES IN TAX, DEBT, CREDIT AND DOCUMENTARY STAMP LAWS.
(a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security
Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose
of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt
or Lender's interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest
and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that
the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or
unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have
the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to
declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any
credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other
Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction
shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or
any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security
Instrument or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by
law, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one
hundred twenty (120) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(c) 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, this Security Instrument, or any of the other
Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay
for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.
Section 5.4 SPLITTING OF MORTGAGE. This Security Instrument and the
Note shall, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the
sole election of Lender, be split or divided into two or more notes and two or
more security instruments, each of which shall cover all or a portion of the
Property to be more particularly described therein. To that end, Borrower, upon
written request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to
be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the then owner of the Property, to
Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and security
instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid
principal amount of this Security Instrument, and containing terms, provisions
and clauses similar to those contained herein and in the Note, and such other
documents and instruments as may be required by Lender.
Section 5.5 REPLACEMENT DOCUMENTS. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an
officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note
or any other Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in the case of
any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other Loan
Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Loan
Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or
other Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like
tenor.
Article 6 - DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE
Section 6.1 LENDER RELIANCE. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has
examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its general partners,
members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and
operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will
continue to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Property as a means of
maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and
the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has
a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that,
should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the
Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.
Section 6.2 NO SALE/ENCUMBRANCE. Borrower agrees that Borrower shall
not, without the prior written consent of Lender, sell, convey, mortgage, grant,
bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, or otherwise transfer the Property or any
part thereof or permit the Property or any part thereof to be sold, conveyed,
mortgaged, granted, bargained, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
transferred, unless Lender shall consent thereto in accordance with SECTION 6.4
hereof.
Section 6.3 SALE/ENCUMBRANCE DEFINED. A sale, conveyance, mortgage,
grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer within the meaning
of this Article 6 shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to, (a) an
installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property or any
part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (b) an agreement by
Borrower
11
leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual
occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer
of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower's right, title and interest
in and to any Leases or any Rents; (c) the voluntary or involuntary sale,
conveyance, transfer or pledge of the stock of the general partner of Borrower
(or the stock of any corporation directly or indirectly controlling such general
partner by operation of law or otherwise) or the creation or issuance of new
stock by which an aggregate of more than ten percent (10%) of such general
partner's stock shall be vested in a party or parties who are not now
stockholders; (d) the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance, transfer or
pledge of any general or limited partnership interest in Borrower; (e) if
Borrower, any general partner of Borrower, any guarantor or any indemnitor is a
limited liability company, the change, removal or resignation of a member or
managing member or the transfer or pledge of the interest of any member or
managing member or any profits or proceeds relating to such interest; or (f) any
other transfer prohibited by the terms of the Loan Agreement.
Section 6.4 LENDER'S RIGHTS. Lender reserves the right to condition the
consent required hereunder upon (a) a modification of the terms hereof and of
the Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents; (b) an assumption of
the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan
Documents as so modified by the proposed transferee, subject to the provisions
of Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement; (c) payment of all of Lender's reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with such transfer; (d) the confirmation in
writing by the applicable Rating Agencies that the proposed transfer will not,
in and of itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the
initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any
Securitization; (e) the delivery of a nonconsolidation opinion reflecting the
proposed transfer satisfactory in form and substance to Lender; (f) the proposed
transferee's continued compliance with the representations and covenants set
forth in Section 4.1.30 and 5.2.14 of the Loan Agreement; (g) the delivery of
evidence satisfactory to Lender that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy
remoteness of Borrower, its shareholders, partners or members, as the case may
be, following such transfers are in accordance with the standards of the Rating
Agencies; (h) the proposed transferee's ability to satisfy Lender's then-current
underwriting standards; (i) payment of a transfer fee to Lender equal to 1% of
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the time of such transfer; or
(j) such other conditions as Lender shall determine in its reasonable discretion
to be in the interest of Lender, including, without limitation, the
creditworthiness, reputation and qualifications of the transferee with respect
to the Loan and the Property. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any
actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in
order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Borrower's sale,
conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or
transfer of the Property without Lender's consent. This provision shall apply to
every sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge,
assignment, or transfer of the Property regardless of whether voluntary or not,
or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous sale, conveyance,
mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the
Property.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 6,
and in addition to the transfers permitted hereunder, following the sale of the
Loan in a securitization, Lender's consent to a sale, assignment, or other
transfer of the Property shall not be withheld provided that Lender receives
sixty (60) days prior written notice of such transfer hereunder and no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and further provided that, the following
additional requirements are satisfied:
(a) Borrower shall pay Lender a transfer fee equal to 1% of
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the time of such
transfer;
(b) Borrower shall pay any and all out-of-pocket costs
incurred in connection with the transfer of the Property (including,
without limitation, Lender's counsel fees and disbursements and all
recording fees, title insurance premiums and mortgage and intangible
taxes and the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies pursuant to
clause (x) below);
(c) The proposed transferee (the "Transferee") or
Transferee's Principals (hereinafter defined) must have demonstrated
expertise in owning and operating properties similar in location, size
and operation to the Property, which expertise shall be reasonably
determined by Lender. The term "Transferee's Principals" shall include
Transferee's (A) managing members, general partners or principal
shareholders and (B) such other members, partners or shareholders which
directly or indirectly shall own a 15% or greater interest in
Transferee;
(d) Transferee and Transferee's Principals shall, as of the
date of such transfer, have an aggregate net worth and liquidity
reasonably acceptable to Lender;
12
(e) Transferee, Transferee's Principals and all other
entities which may be owned or controlled directly or indirectly by
Transferee's Principals ("Related Entities") must not have been a party
to any bankruptcy proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, made an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any
insolvency act, or any act for the benefit of debtors within seven (7)
years prior to the date of the proposed transfer of the Property;
(f) Transferee shall assume all of the obligations of
Borrower under the Loan Documents in a manner satisfactory to Lender in
all respects, including, without limitation, by entering into an
assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and
one or more Transferee's Principals having an aggregated net worth and
liquidity reasonably acceptable to Lender shall execute in favor of
Lender a Guaranty of Recourse Obligations and Environmental Indemnity
Agreement in form acceptable to Lender;
(g) There shall be no material litigation or regulatory
action pending or threatened against Transferee, Transferee's
Principals or Related Entities which is not reasonably acceptable to
Lender;
(h) Transferee, Transferee's Principals and Related Entities
shall not have defaulted under its or their obligations with respect to
any other indebtedness in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable
to Lender;
(i) No Event of Default or event which, with the giving of
notice, passage of time or both, shall constitute an Event of Default,
shall otherwise occur as a result of such transfer, and Transferee and
Transferee's Principals shall deliver (A) all organization
documentation reasonably requested by Lender, which shall be reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, and (B) all certificates, agreements and
covenants reasonably required by Lender; and
(j) Borrower shall deliver, at its sole cost and expense, an
endorsement to the existing title policy insuring this Security
Instrument, as modified by the assumption agreement, as a valid first
lien on the Property and naming the Transferee as owner of the
Property, which endorsement shall insure that, as of the date of the
recording of the assumption agreement, the Property shall not be
subject to any additional exceptions or liens other than those
contained in the title policy issued on the date hereof.
In addition to the foregoing, Lender shall have the right to
condition the consent required hereunder upon the confirmation in writing by the
applicable Rating Agencies that the proposed transfer to, and assumption of the
Loan by, the Transferee will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade,
qualification or withdrawal of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings
assigned in connection with any Securitization.
Immediately upon a transfer of the Property to such Transferee
and the satisfaction of all of the above requirements, the named Borrower herein
shall be released from all liability under this Security Instrument, the Note
and the other Loan Documents accruing after such transfer. The foregoing release
shall be effective upon the date of such transfer, but Lender agrees to provide
written evidence thereof reasonably requested by Borrower.
Article 7 - RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
Section 7.1 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, Borrower agrees that 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 Property, including, but not limited to, the
following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at
such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in their sole discretion,
without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of
Lender:
(a) declare the entire unpaid Debt to be immediately due and
payable;
(b) institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the
complete foreclosure of this Security Instrument under any applicable
provision of law, in which case the 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;
13
(c) 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 and security interest of this Security Instrument for the balance
of the Debt not then due, unimpaired and without loss of priority;
(d) sell for cash or upon credit the Property or any part
thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of
Borrower therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of
sale or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entity or in parcels, at
such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof, all
as may be required or permitted by law; and, without limiting the
foregoing:
(i) In connection with any sale or sales hereunder,
Lender shall be entitled to elect to treat any of the Property
which consists of a right in action or which is property that
can be severed from the Real Property covered hereby or any
improvements without causing structural damage thereto as if
the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in
accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the
sale of Real Property. Where the Property consists of Real
Property, Personal Property, Equipment or Fixtures, whether or
not such Personal Property or Equipment is located on or
within the Real Property, Lender shall be entitled to elect to
exercise its rights and remedies against any or all of the
Real Property, Personal Property, Equipment and Fixtures in
such order and manner as is now or hereafter permitted by
applicable law;
(ii) Lender shall be entitled to elect to proceed
against any or all of the Real Property, Personal Property,
Equipment and Fixtures in any manner permitted under
applicable law; and if Lender so elects pursuant to applicable
law, the power of sale herein granted shall be exercisable
with respect to all or any of the Real Property, Personal
Property, Equipment and Fixtures covered hereby, as designated
by Lender, and Lender is hereby authorized and empowered to
conduct any such sale of any Real Property, Personal Property,
Equipment and Fixtures in accordance with the procedures
applicable to Real Property;
(iii) Should Lender elect to sell any portion of the
Property which is Real Property or which is Personal Property,
Equipment or Fixtures that the Lender has elected under
applicable law to sell together with Real Property in
accordance with the laws governing a sale of Real Property,
Lender shall give such notice of Event of Default, if any, and
election to sell as may then be required by law. Thereafter,
upon the expiration of such time and the giving of such notice
of sale as may then be required by law, and without the

law, Borrower agrees to pay the costs and expenses of each

with respect to the Loan or of any Person, liable for the payment of
the Debt;
(h) the license granted to Borrower under SECTION 1.2 hereof
shall automatically be revoked and Lender may enter into or upon the
Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and
dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants therefrom, without
liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Borrower and
its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of all
books, records and accounts relating thereto and Borrower agrees to
surrender possession of the Property and of such books, records and

such manner and form as Lender deems advisable; (iii) make alterations,

shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom
all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in

pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other expenses in
connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable
compensation for the services of Lender, its counsel, agents and
employees;

secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code,

may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the
Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property, and (ii) request
Borrower at its expense to assemble the Fixtures, the Equipment, the
Personal Property and make it available to Lender at a convenient place
acceptable to Lender. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended
action by Lender with respect to the Fixtures, the Equipment, the
Personal Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions
hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute
commercially reasonable notice to Borrower;
(j) apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or
otherwise by or on behalf of Lender in accordance with the terms of the

In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less than
all of Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security
interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of
priority.
Lender reserves the right at any time to subordinate the lien of this
Security Instrument to any one or more of the leases now or in the future
pertaining to any part of the Property upon the unilateral execution and

action by Lender to foreclose upon the Property, such subordination agreement to

leases identified by Lender in such subordination agreement.
Section 7.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The purchase money, proceeds and
avails of any disposition of the Property, and or any part thereof, or any other
sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument or the
other Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in
such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, to
the extent consistent with law.
Section 7.3 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may remedy such Event of Default in
such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the
security hereof, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or
demand on Borrower, and without releasing Borrower from any obligation
hereunder. Lender is authorized to enter upon action or proceeding to the
Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or
proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security
Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including
reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as
provided in this SECTION 7.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall
be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred
by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in
appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear
interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such
cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs
and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the
Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured
by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be
immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
Section 7.4 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Lender has the right to appear in
and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the 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 Property.
Section 7.5 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 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.
Section 7.6 EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable times and
upon reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have

which reflect upon their financial condition, at the Property or at any office
regularly maintained by Borrower where the books and records are located. Lender
and its agents shall have the right to make copies and extracts from the
foregoing records and other papers. In addition, at reasonable times and upon
reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the
right to examine and audit the books and records of Borrower pertaining to the

7.6 shall apply throughout the term of the Note and without regard to whether an
Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.
16
Section 7.7 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender 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 (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any
request of Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan to
take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any
of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the
release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property,
or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) 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 Loan Documents.
(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the
Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for
decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for
failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of
risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial
relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any
Property or collateral not in Lender's possession.
(c) 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 may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof,
or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender
thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under
this Security Instrument 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.
Section 7.8 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. Lender may
release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require
without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting
the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of
any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the
obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary
consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by
assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender
may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This
Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the
remaining portion of the Property.
Section 7.9 VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in material
compliance with Legal Requirements, Lender may impose additional requirements
upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary
reserves or financial equivalents.

Parties (as hereinafter defined) are entitled to enforce the obligations of
Borrower, any guarantor and indemnitor contained in Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4
herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement without first resorting to or
exhausting any security or collateral and without first having recourse to the
Note or any of the Property, through foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and in the event
Lender commences a foreclosure action against the Property, or exercises the
power of sale pursuant to this Security Instrument, Lender is entitled to pursue
a deficiency judgment with respect to such obligations against Borrower and any
guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan. The provisions of Sections
9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement are exceptions to
any non-recourse or exculpation provisions in the Loan Agreement, the Note, this
Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, and Borrower and any guarantor
or indemnitor with respect to the Loan are fully and personally liable for the
obligations pursuant to Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2 of the
Loan Agreement. The liability of Borrower and any guarantor or indemnitor with
respect to the Loan pursuant to Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2
of the Loan Agreement is not limited to the original principal amount of the
Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent
Lender from foreclosing or exercising a power of sale pursuant to this Security
Instrument or exercising any other rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan
Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents,
whether simultaneously with foreclosure proceedings or in any other sequence. A
separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Borrower
pursuant to Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan
Agreement, whether or not action is brought against any other Person or whether
or not any other Person is joined in the action or actions. In addition, Lender

17
elects, any administrative or judicial proceedings or actions initiated in
connection with any matter addressed in Article 8 or Section 9.4 herein.

Article 17 - STATE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Section 17.1 WAIVER OF RIGHT OF REDEMPTION AND OTHER RIGHTS. Without
limitation to anything contained herein, to the full extent permitted by law,
Borrower agrees that it will not at any time or in any manner whatsoever take
any advantage of any stay, exemption or extension law or any so-called
"Moratorium Law" now or at any time hereafter in force, nor take any advantage
of any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement
of the Property, or any part thereof, prior to any sale thereof to be made
pursuant to any provisions herein contained, or to any decree, judgment or order
of any court of competent jurisdiction; or claim or exercise any rights under
any statute now or hereafter in force to redeem the property or any part
thereof, or relating to the marshalling thereof, on foreclosure sale or other
enforcement hereof. To the full extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby
expressly waives any and all rights it may have to require that the Property be
sold as separate tracts or units in the event of foreclosure. To the full extent
permitted by law, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights to
redemption and reinstatement under 735 Illinois Compiled Statutes 5/15-1101 (the
"Act"), on its own behalf, on behalf of all persons claiming or having an
interest (direct or indirect) by, through or under Borrower and on behalf of
each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property
subsequent to the date hereof, it being the intent hereof that any and all such
rights of redemption of Borrower and such other persons, are and shall be deemed
to be hereby waived to the full extent permitted by applicable law. To the full
extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that it will not, by invoking or
utilizing any applicable law or laws or otherwise, hinder, delay or impede the
exercise of any right, power or remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated
to Lender, but will permit the exercise of every such right, power and remedy as
though no such law or laws have been or will have been made or enacted. To the
full extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby agrees that no action for the
enforcement of the lien or any provision hereof shall be subject to any defense
which would not be good and valid on an action at law upon the Note. If the
Borrower is a trustee, Borrower represents that the provisions of this Section
(including the waiver of redemption rights) were made at the express direction
of Borrower's beneficiaries and the persons having the power of direction over
Borrower and are made on behalf of the trust estate of Borrower and all
beneficiaries of Borrower, as well as all other persons named above. Borrower
acknowledges that the Property does not constitute agricultural real estate as
defined in Section 15-1201of the Act or residential real estate as defined in
