To protect the security of this Trust Deed and with respect to the Property
above described, Trustor expressly makes each and all of the agreements, and
adopts and agrees to perform and be bound by each and all of the terms and
provisions contained in subdivisions A and B of that certain fictitious deed of
trust recorded in Los Angeles County on October 30, 1961, in the book T2055 and
at the page 899 of the Official Records in the office of the county recorder of
the county where said property is located, which terms and provisions shall

b. All affixed machinery, equipment and fixtures such as all heating, air
conditioning, plumbing, lighting, other utility, security, irrigation,

equipment and fixtures used in Trustor's business and not customarily considered
part of the Property);
c. All awards or payments, including interest thereon, which may heretofore
and hereafter be made with respect to the Property, whether from the exercise of
the right of eminent domain (including any transfer made in lieu of or in
anticipation of the exercise of said right), or for a change of grade or for any
other injury to or decrease in the value of the Trust Property;
d. All leases and other agreements affecting the use, enjoyment or
occupancy of the Trust Property heretofore or hereafter entered into, or
assigned, conveyed or transferred to Trustor ("Leases"), and all oil and gas or

Property ("Rents") and all proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the
Leases or the Rents and the right to receive and apply the Rents to the payment
of the amounts secured hereby;
e. All proceeds of, and all unearned premiums due from, all insurance
policies covering the Trust Property, including, without limitation, the right
to receive and apply the proceeds of any insurance, judgments, or settlements
made in lieu thereof, for damage to the Trust Property; and
f. All architectural and engineering drawings, plans and specifications;
contractor, subcontractor, laborer, material and all other similar agreements;
governmental applications, registrations, petitions, approval, permits,
certificates, payments and deposits and all other similar items, instruments and
documents relating to the Property and the development thereof.
3. The Trust Deed shall also secure each of the following:
a. All advances made and expenses incurred, including all reasonable
attorneys' fees to cure any breaches, defaults or events of default (in each
case, only after the expiration of all notice and cure periods) under any senior
or junior loans, trust deeds, mortgages, and/or other security instruments;
b. All advances made and expenses incurred, including all reasonable
attorneys' fees, to preserve, repair or maintain the Trust Property or any
interest therein; and
c. All late charges, prepayment penalties and all other similar items due
under this Trust Deed, and any of the other Agreements.
4. Beneficiary shall be named as additional insured under all policies of
insurance insuring the Trust Property or any part thereof ("Policies"), and
Trustor shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary a certificate of insurance
coverage in accordance herewith. All Policies shall be issued by an insurer
reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary and duly qualified to do business within
the State of California, and shall contain the standard mortgagee non-
contribution clause and a provision for thirty (30) day prior written notice
to Beneficiary of the cancellation, modification or expiration of any such
Policies. No later than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of each
of the Policies, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary satisfactory evidence of
the renewal of each of the Policies.
5. This Trust Deed is both a real property mortgage and a "security agreement"
within the meaning of the California Uniform Commercial Code. The Trust Property
includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interest,
whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Trustor in or to the Trust
Property. Subject to the rights of any senior lienholders, Trustor by executing
and delivering this Trust Deed has granted to Beneficiary and Trustee, as
security for the amounts secured hereby, a security interest in the Trust
Property. In the event any breach, default or event of default, allowing
Beneficiary or Trustee to foreclose against any of the Trust Property, should
occur under any of the Agreements, Beneficiary 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 California Uniform Commercial Code,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take
possession of the Trust Property or any part thereof, and to take such other
measures as Beneficiary may deem necessary for the care, protection and
preservation of the Trust Property. Upon request or demand of Beneficiary,
Trustor shall at its expense assemble the Trust Property and make it available
to Beneficiary and Trustee at a convenient place acceptable to Beneficiary.
Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary and Trustee on demand any and all expenses,
including all reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred or paid by
Beneficiary or Trustee in protecting its interest in the Trust Property and in
enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Trust Property. Any notice of
sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary or Trustee with
respect to the Trust Property sent to any Trustor in accordance with the
provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute
commercially reasonable notice to Trustor. The proceeds of any disposition of
the Trust Property, or any part thereof, after a breach, default or event of
default hereunder may be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the amounts
secured hereby in such priority as Beneficiary in its discretion shall deem
proper. Concurrently herewith, Trustor shall execute and cause to be filed one
or more UCC-1 financing statements with all governmental agencies necessary to
perfect Beneficiary's security interest in the Trust Property (to the extent
such security interest may be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing
statement). Trustor shall continue to maintain or cause to be maintained all
such UCC-1 financing statements. Trustor shall advise Trustee and Beneficiary of
any addition, change, transfer, sale, or other disposition, including any change
of address or entity, (collectively and each of them "Transfer") of any of the
Trust Property prior to any such Transfer and shall within ten (10) days after
the Transfer record an amendment to the UCC-1, a UCC-2, or as otherwise required
by applicable law, to perfect Beneficiary's interest in the proceeds and the
items acquired therewith. Nothing herein is meant to approve of or consent to
any such Transfer. In the alternative to the foregoing, and without any
liability to Trustor or waiver of any right, remedy or other Claim, Trustor
hereby appoints Beneficiary and Trustee, acting alone or in concert with each
other, as its sole and exclusive attorney-in-fact with full power of nomination
and substitution at Beneficiary's personal discretion to execute and cause to be
recorded the UCC-1, UCC-2 and all other documents necessary in Beneficiary's
opinion to perfect and maintain the security interests hereby created. PLEASE
NOTE, ALL UCC FINANCING STATEMENTS MUST BE CONTINUED EVERY FIVE (5) YEARS BY
FILING A UCC-2 WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO EACH FIVE (5) YEAR EXPIRATION
PERIOD, AND BEFORE FORECLOSING, PLEASE REVIEW CALIFORNIA COMMERCIAL CODE SECTION
9501(4).
6. Trustor shall protect, reimburse, defend (by an attorney reasonably
acceptable to Beneficiary), indemnify and save harmless Beneficiary, Trustee and
each of their Representatives from and against all Claims imposed upon, suffered
by, incurred by, or asserted against, Beneficiary, Trustee and/or any of their
Representatives and arising from any state of facts or circumstances existing
prior to Beneficiary acquiring title to the Property through foreclosure, a deed
in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise or receipt of any Rents, including as a
result of (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage
to property occurring in, on or about the Trust Property or any part thereof or
on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas,
streets or ways: (b) any use, non-use or condition in, on or about the Trust
Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent
property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any failure on the part
of Trustor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Trust Deed; (d)
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other
property in respect of the Trust Property or any part thereof; (e) the failure
of any person to file timely with the Internal Revenue Service an accurate Form
0000-X, Xxxxxxxxx for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate, Broker and Barter
Exchange Transactions, which may be required in connection with this Trust Deed,
or to supply a copy thereof in a timely fashion to the recipient of the proceeds
of the transaction in connection with which the Trust Deed Loan is made; (f) the
presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission,
release, or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials (hereinafter defined)
on, from, or affecting the Trust Property or any other property; (g) any
personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal)
arising out of or related to such Hazardous Materials; (h) any investigation or
lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government order relating
to such Hazardous Materials; or (i) any violation of Laws, which are based upon
or in any way related to such Hazardous Materials. With respect to any related
Hazardous Materials matter, the costs Trustor are required to reimburse shall
include all reasonable attorney and consultant fees, investigation and
laboratory fees, court costs, and litigation expenses including any and all
appeals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary and without any waiver of any
obligation, right or benefit hereto, Beneficiary, at all times, shall have the
right to fully participate in the defense of each related indemnity Claim and,
in the event Trustor fails to assume the defense of any such Claim within a
reasonable time after Beneficiary's demand therefor or fails to provide
reasonably adequate security to secure the full and timely performance and
payment of Trustor's indemnification obligations hereunder, the right to right
to compromise or settle any indemnity Claim. In the event of such a settlement
or compromise, Beneficiary shall not be entitled to any greater rights or
remedies than Beneficiary would have obtained from Trustor hereunder had it not
settled or compromised such Claim. Trustor shall at all times keep Beneficiary
fully informed of all material information, status and problems relating to each
respective indemnity Claim. Any amounts payable to Beneficiary, Trustee and each
of their Representatives by reason of the application of this paragraph shall be
secured by this Trust Deed and shall become immediately due and payable and
shall bear interest at the maximum rate then permitted by law from the date loss
or damage is sustained by Beneficiary, Trustee and/or any of their
Representatives until paid. The obligations of Trustor under this paragraph
shall be personal and shall survive any termination, satisfaction, assignment,
judgment of foreclosure or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of this
Trust Deed. The obligations and liabilities of Trustor under this section shall
survive the foreclosure of this Trust Deed or the delivery of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure unless and until otherwise terminated by operation of law or by
written agreement of the Beneficiary.
7. Trustor hereby acknowledges and represents to Beneficiary that it is being
adequately compensated for guaranteeing the obligations of the Maker under the
Agreements.
8. Beneficiary is hereby relieved of any duty to warn or to disclose any such
facts or information to Trustor concerning any of the Agreements, or the related
transactions. Trustor assumes the obligation to keep itself informed of all
facts, circumstances, obligations, acts or omissions involving the Maker, the
Agreements and the related transactions. No partial or other disclosure or
warning by Beneficiary or any of its Representatives shall be deemed an
assumption of any such obligation and Trustor shall not be entitled to rely on
any such disclosure or warning. Trustor agrees to and shall conduct its own
independent investigation of all such matters and shall rely solely upon such
independent investigation and not upon any statement, disclosure or warning of
Beneficiary. Trustor hereby assumes the risks of keeping itself informed of the
financial condition and operations of the Maker and hereby relieves Beneficiary
and all its Representatives from all requirements of disclosure.

has or owes any Trustor any fiduciary or other relationship or duty of trust or
disclosure nor shall any such relationships or duties be established between the
Parties, except as explicitly agreed to in writing. It is the intention and
agreement of the Parties hereto that this Trust Deed be legally binding and
