In case of any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any

SECTION 2.06. Payments and Distributions. Borrower shall make
each payment under this Agreement and under the Notes on the date when due to

SECTION 2.07. Interest. Interest shall be computed on an

Borrower shall pay to Lender interest on the Principal Amount

cost and expense, any documents required by law in order to release the
applicable Mortgaged Property and related collateral.
ARTICLE III
YIELD MAINTENANCE ETC.
SECTION 3.01. Additional Costs and Other Effects of Regulatory
Changes; Taxes. Borrower shall pay directly to Lender, promptly upon demand,
such amounts as are reasonably necessary to compensate Lender for Additional
Costs resulting from any Regulatory Change which without duplication (i)
subjects Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the
Transactions or the Notes, or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts
payable to Lender under the Transactions or the
7
Notes (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of Lender or of
Lender's Office by the jurisdiction in which Lender's Office is located and
franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof), (ii) imposes, modifies or deems
applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any
extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other
liabilities of, Lender, (iii) imposes on Lender any other condition affecting
the Transactions or the Notes, or any of such extensions of credit or
liabilities or (iv) imposes any capital adequacy requirements on Lender by
virtue of the Transactions or the Notes. Lender shall notify Borrower of any
event occurring after the date hereof which would entitle it to compensation
pursuant to this paragraph as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge
thereof and determines to request such compensation and, at Borrower's sole cost
and expense, shall take such steps as Borrower reasonably requests in order to
avoid the imposition of such costs.
Determinations by each Lender of the existence or effect of
any Regulatory Change on its costs of entering or maintaining the Transactions
or amounts receivable by it in respect thereof, and of the additional amounts

ARTICLE V
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that:
SECTION 5.01. Due Formation, Power and Authority. If it, any
Mortgagor or any general partner or member of any of them is a corporation,
partnership, venture, limited liability company or trust, each such entity is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the
jurisdiction of its formation, is qualified to do business and is in good
standing in the jurisdiction in which
10
the Premises are located (if required), and has full power and authority to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to execute, deliver and
perform this Agreement and any Transaction Document to which it is a party.
SECTION 5.02. Legally Enforceable Agreements. Each Transaction
Document to which Borrower or any Mortgagor is a party is a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such party, enforceable against Borrower or such
Mortgagor, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms, except to the
extent that such enforcement may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency and other similar Laws affecting creditors' rights generally, (b)
principles of equity or (c) judicial discretion.
SECTION 5.03. Financial Statements. Financial Statements have
been heretofore delivered to Lender which are true, correct and current in all
material respects and which fairly present the respective financial conditions
of the subjects thereof as of the respective dates thereof; no material adverse
change has occurred in the financial conditions reflected therein between the
respective dates thereof and the date of this Agreement and no borrowings (other
than the Loan) which might give rise to a Lien or claim against the Mortgaged
Property or proceeds of the Loan have been made by Borrower or others between
the dates thereof and the date of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.04. Compliance With Laws. Borrower and Mortgagors
are in compliance with, and the transactions contemplated hereby and the other
Transaction Documents do not and will not violate any provision of, or require
any filing, registration, consent or approval under, any Law presently in effect
having applicability to Borrower or Mortgagors and Borrower has filed or caused
to be filed all tax returns (federal, state and local) required to be filed and
paid all taxes, assessments and governmental charges due and payable, except
where such violation or the failure to make any such filing or registration or
to obtain the applicable consent or approval or make payment is not reasonably
likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 5.05. Litigation. Except as disclosed in Borrower's
periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to the best
knowledge of Borrower, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to
the actual knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Borrower,
Mortgagors, the Premises, the validity or enforceability of the Mortgages or the
priority of the lien thereof at law or in equity, before or by any Governmental
Authorities except actions, suits or proceedings which are fully covered by
insurance or would, if adversely determined, not likely have a Material Adverse
Effect. To Borrower's knowledge, no default exists with respect to any order,
writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or Governmental Authorities
where such default is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 5.06. No Conflicts or Defaults. The consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance hereof and of the other
Transaction Documents have not resulted and will not result in any breach of, or
constitute a default under, any mortgage, deed of trust, lease, bank loan or
credit agreement, corporate charter, by-laws, partnership agreement or other
instrument to which Borrower or any Mortgagor is a party or by which either of
them may be bound.
SECTION 5.07. Solvency. Borrower and Mortgagors are, and upon
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other
Transaction Documents and any other related documents, will be, solvent.
SECTION 5.08. Governmental Regulation. Borrower and Mortgagors
are not subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any
Law limiting Borrower's ability to incur indebtedness for money borrowed as
contemplated hereby.

SECTION 5.09. Insurance. Borrower has or caused to be in
force, and has paid or caused to be paid the premiums in respect of, all of the
insurance required by this Agreement.
SECTION 5.10. No Event of Default. There exists no Event of
Default.
SECTION 5.11. Separate Tax and Zoning Lot. To Borrower's
knowledge, each of the Premises listed on SCHEDULES I, II and III consists of
one or more distinct parcels for purposes of zoning and of taxes, assessments
and impositions (public or private), and are not otherwise considered as part of
a larger single lot for purposes of zoning or of taxes, assessments or
impositions (public or private) except where the failure to so consist of one or
more distinct parcels would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
SECTION 5.12. Creation of Liens. Borrower has entered into no
contract or arrangement of any kind the performance of which by the other party
thereto would give rise to a Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, on the Mortgaged
Property prior to the Mortgages.
SECTION 5.13. Appraisals. The Premises valued in the
Appraisals and indicated on SCHEDULES I, II and III attached hereto are the same
Premises whose legal descriptions are attached as Exhibit A to the applicable
Mortgages.

each of the Premises listed on SCHEDULES I, II and III attached hereto shall not
materially exceed 1:1 as of the date of the applicable advance of loan proceeds.
ARTICLE VI
COVENANTS OF BORROWER
Borrower covenants and agrees that it will promptly:
SECTION 6.01. Compliance with Laws; Payment of Taxes. Comply
or cause compliance with all Laws applicable to it, Mortgagors or the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, such compliance to include, without limitation,
paying before the same becomes delinquent, all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges imposed on it, Mortgagors or the Mortgaged Property, or any
part thereof, and promptly furnish Lender with any notices from Governmental
Authorities and any claims of violation of any Laws, except where the failure to
comply is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 6.02. Maintenance of Existence. Preserve and keep in
full force and effect its existence, franchises, rights and privileges as a
business or stock corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, and cause
each Related Mortgagor to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
existence, franchises, rights and privileges as a business or stock corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity under the laws of
such Related Mortgagor's jurisdiction of formation or existence, except in the
event of a merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of
Borrower or any Related Mortgagor, where the surviving entity or the transferee
assumes the obligations of the Borrower or applicable Related Mortgagor under
the Transaction Documents to which the applicable Related Mortgagor is a party.
SECTION 6.03. Continuing Accuracy of Representations and
Warranties. Undertake commercially reasonable efforts in order to cause all of
the representations and warranties made to Lender
12
herein and in the other Transaction Documents to remain materially true and
correct to the extent reasonably practical as of the date of each Future
Advance.
SECTION 6.04. Covenants, Restrictions and Easements. Use
commercially reasonable efforts to comply or cause each Mortgagor to comply with
all restrictions, covenants and easements affecting the Premises or the
Improvements and cause the satisfaction of all conditions thereof, except where
the failure to comply is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
SECTION 6.05. Inspection and Cooperation. Permit or cause
permission to be granted to Lender and its representatives to enter upon the
Premises and inspect the Improvements at reasonable times on reasonable prior
notice.
SECTION 6.06. Payment of Costs. Pay or cause to be paid all
costs and expenses required by this Agreement and the satisfaction of the
conditions hereof, including, without limitation:
(a) all document and stamp taxes, recording and filing
expenses and fees and commissions lawfully due to brokers in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby, and
(b) any taxes, insurance premiums, Liens, security interests
or other claims or charges against the Premises or Improvements.
SECTION 6.07. Brokers. Indemnify Lender against claims of
brokers arising by reason of the execution hereof or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby
represents that no broker was engaged by Lender in bringing about the
Transactions.
SECTION 6.08. Insurance. Provide and maintain or cause to be
provided and maintained in full force and effect the following insurance
coverages: (a) property "all risk" insurance covering the Mortgaged Property;
and (b) such other insurance as may be required by applicable Law (including
worker's compensation and employer's liability insurance) or as Lender may
reasonably require from time to time. Any policy of property insurance required
by clause (a) above shall be in an amount not less than the full replacement
cost of the Improvements and any personal property covered by such policy, shall
contain a "full replacement cost" endorsement, shall insure against flood loss
risk if the Land is located in a Flood Hazard Area, and shall name Lender as an
additional insured or mortgagee and as a "loss payee". All insurance policies
shall be in form and substance and issued by insurers reasonably satisfactory to
Lender, and shall contain such deductibles and such endorsements as Lender may
reasonably require. Upon request by Lender from time to time, Borrower shall
deliver to Lender certificates of insurance evidencing such insurance coverage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right to enter into a
program of self-insurance for the purpose of satisfying Borrower's or any
Related Mortgagor's obligations hereunder and under the Mortgagor.
SECTION 6.09. Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds.
(a) Following a casualty occurrence or condemnation affecting
all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, Net Proceeds shall be
payable to Borrower (or the applicable Mortgagor); provided, however,
that (i) if Borrower does not diligently prosecute or cause the
diligent prosecution of the Restoration or does not apply the entire
Net Proceeds to the cost of such Restoration and (ii) the Loan to Value
Ratio immediately following the Restoration is materially greater than
the greater of (A) the Loan to Value Ratio as of the date immediately
preceding the casualty or condemnation or (B) the Loan to Value Ratio
as of the date of the Initial Advance or
13
Future Advance evidenced by the Note or Notes secured by such Mortgaged
Property (such greater value, the "Greater Loan to Value Ratio"), then
the provisions of Sections 6.09(b) and (c) below shall apply.
(b) If the entire Net Proceeds are not applied to the cost of
the Restoration and the Loan to Value Ratio immediately following the
Restoration shall be materially greater than the Greater Loan to Value
Ratio, Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to Lender and Lender
shall apply to the principal amount of the Note or Notes secured by
such Mortgaged Property that portion of Net Proceeds not applied to the
costs of Restoration (the "Excess Proceeds") as is sufficient to cause
the Loan to Value Ratio immediately following the Restoration to equal
no more than 105% of the Greater Loan to Value Ratio; provided,
however, that in no event shall Borrower or the applicable Mortgagor be
obligated to pay an amount in excess of the Excess Proceeds pursuant to
this Section 6.09(b). Any remaining Net Proceeds shall be retained by
Borrower.
(c) If Borrower does not intend to undertake the Restoration,
Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to Lender and Lender shall apply
to the principal amount of the Note or Notes secured by such Mortgaged
Property that portion of the Net Proceeds as is sufficient to cause the
Loan to Value Ratio immediately following the casualty occurrence or
condemnation to equal no more than 105% of the Greater Loan to Value
Ratio. Any remaining Net Proceeds shall be retained by Borrower.
SECTION 6.10. Filing and Recording of Documents. Upon the
execution and delivery hereof and from time to time thereafter, cause the
Mortgages and any security instrument creating or evidencing the lien of the
Mortgages upon the Mortgaged 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 Law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien
of the Mortgages upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Mortgaged Property.
(a) Pay or cause to be paid all filing, registration or
recording fees, and all expenses incident to the execution and acknowledgment
of the Mortgages, any security instrument with respect to the Mortgaged Property
(including, without limitation, any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements
and any filings necessary or desirable from time to time in connection with the
continuation or renewal thereof), and any instrument of further assurance, and
any expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred
by Lender in connection with the Transactions, and pay all federal, state,
county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes, duties, imposts, assessments
and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of
the Notes, the Mortgages, any security instrument with respect to the Mortgaged
Property or any instrument of further assurance.
SECTION 6.11. Premises Documents. Use commercially reasonable
efforts (as determined by Borrower in good faith) to do all things (and direct
each Mortgagor to do all things) necessary to cause the due compliance and
faithful performance by the other parties to the Premises Documents with and of
all material obligations and agreements by such other parties to be complied
with and performed thereunder, except where the failure of such compliance or
performance is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 6.12. Reporting Requirements. Furnish to Lender:
(1) Annual Financial Statements. As soon as available and in
any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the
fiscal year of Borrower, Financial Statements, as of the end of and for
such fiscal year, certified by the principal financial or accounting
officer of Borrower as being materially true, correct and current in
all material respects, in reasonable
14
detail, stating in comparative form the respective figures for the
preceding fiscal year and compiled by a firm of certified public
accountants reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(2) Notices of Defaults. As soon as possible and in any event
within ten (10) days after Borrower or any Mortgagor becomes aware of
the occurrence of an Event of Default, a written notice setting forth
the details of such Event of Default and the action that has been taken
or is proposed to be taken with respect thereto; and
(3) General Information. Promptly, such other information
respecting the condition or operations, financial or otherwise, of
Borrower, Mortgagors or the Premises as Lender may from time to time
reasonably request.
SECTION 6.13. Secondary Financing. So long as any of the Notes
shall remain unpaid or any other amount is owing by Borrower to Lender under any
Transaction Document or otherwise in respect of the Transactions, not enter into
any junior financing arrangement with any Person with the Mortgaged Property or
any portion thereof as collateral therefor, unless (a) such junior financing is
expressly subordinated to the Transaction Documents and the Person providing
such junior financing enters into an intercreditor agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and (b) the ratio of (i) the sum of
the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Notes and all junior
financing arrangements secured by the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof
to (ii) the aggregate value of the Mortgaged Property based on appraisals of the
Mortgaged Property, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lender, does not exceed one to one.
ARTICLE VII
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
SECTION 7.01. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or
more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default (each, an
"Event of Default"):
(a) if default shall be made in the payment of any principal,
interest, fees or other sums under the Notes, the Mortgages or this
Agreement, in any such case, when and as the same shall become due and
payable, whether at maturity or by acceleration or as part of any
payment or prepayment or otherwise, in each case, as herein or in the
Notes or the Mortgages provided, and such default shall have continued
for a period of five (5) Business Days following written notice thereof
to Borrower by Lender; or
(b) if default shall be made in the due observance or
performance of any other covenant, condition or agreement in this
Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgages or in any other document executed
or delivered in connection with the Transactions, and such default
shall have continued for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days
after notice thereof shall have been given to Borrower by Lender, or,
in the case of such other documents, such xxxxxxx xxxxx period, if any,
as may be provided for therein or, if such default is not reasonably
susceptible of cure during such one hundred twenty (120) days or such
xxxxxxx xxxxx period, so long as Borrower diligently proceeds to cure
such default, such longer period as may be reasonably required to cure
such default so long as such longer period is not reasonably likely to
result in a Material Adverse Effect; or
(c) if any representation or warranty made by Borrower herein
shall be materially incorrect when made and reasonably likely to result
in a Material Adverse Effect, or if any other representation or
warranty made to Lender in the Transaction Documents shall be
materially
15
incorrect in any material respect when made and reasonably likely to
result in a Material Adverse Effect; or
(d) if by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, a
trustee, receiver or liquidator of Borrower shall be appointed and such
order shall not be discharged or dismissed within ninety (90) days
after such appointment or, so long as Borrower diligently proceeds to
effect such discharge or dismissal, such longer period as may be
reasonably required to effect such discharge or dismissal; or
(e) if Borrower shall file a petition in bankruptcy or for an
arrangement or for reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or
any similar federal or state law, or if, by decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction, Borrower shall be adjudicated bankrupt, or be
declared insolvent, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, or shall consent to the appointment of a
receiver or receivers of all or any part of its property; or
(f) if any of the creditors of Borrower shall file a petition
in bankruptcy against Borrower or for reorganization of Borrower
pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state law,
and if such petition shall not be discharged, stayed or dismissed
within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date on which such
petition was filed or, so long as Borrower diligently proceeds to
effect such discharge or dismissal, such longer period as may be
reasonably required to effect such discharge or dismissal; or
(g) if a final judgment for the payment of money in excess of
the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of the value of a Mortgaged
Property or (ii) $1,000,000.00 is filed as a Lien against such
Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) and Borrower shall not
discharge or cause the discharge of, or otherwise provide adequate
security (which may include affirmative title insurance coverage issued
by a duly licensed insurer selected by Borrower and reasonably
satisfactory to Lender) with respect to the final judgment within one
hundred twenty (120) days from the entry thereof, or shall not appeal
or cause the appeal therefrom or from the order, decree or process upon
which or pursuant to which said judgment was granted, based or entered,
and secure a stay of execution pending such appeal; or
(h) if there shall occur a default which is not cured within
the applicable grace period, if any, under any mortgage, deed of trust
or other security instrument covering all or part of the Mortgaged
Property regardless of whether any such mortgage, deed of trust or
other security instrument is prior or subordinate to the Mortgages but
only if such default or the consequences thereof are reasonably likely
to result in a Material Adverse Effect; it being further agreed by
Borrower that an Event of Default hereunder shall constitute an Event
of Default under the Mortgages; or
(i) if, except as permitted under the Transaction Documents,
Borrower or any Mortgagor shall transfer (or suffer or permit the
transfer) in any manner, either voluntarily or involuntarily, by
operation of law or otherwise, all or any portion of the Mortgaged
Property, or any interest or rights therein (including air or
development rights) without, in any such case, the prior consent of the
Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed). As used in this clause, "transfer" shall include, without
limitation, any sale or conveyance but shall not include leases or
other occupancy agreements or licenses, easements or similar
encumbrances comprising Permitted Liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(A) Borrower or any Mortgagor may transfer a portion (but less than
all) of any Mortgaged Property, or any interest or right therein, free
and clear of the lien of the related Mortgage pursuant to, and subject
to compliance
16
with, Section 8.11 and (B) Borrower or any Mortgagor may transfer all
or any portion of a Mortgaged Property, or any interest or right
therein, if Borrower prepays the Note or Notes secured by such
Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 2.08; or
(j) if Borrower or any Mortgagor shall encumber, or agree to
encumber, in any manner, either voluntarily or involuntarily, by
operation of law or otherwise, all or any portion of the Mortgaged
Property, or any interest or rights therein (including air or
development rights) where such encumbrance is reasonably likely to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, except for Permitted Liens or as
otherwise provided for in the Transaction Documents, without, in any
such case, the prior consent of Lender and Borrower or such Mortgagor
shall fail to bond over or discharge or otherwise provide adequate
assurance to Lender (which may include affirmative title insurance
coverage issued by a duly licensed insurer selected by Borrower and
reasonably satisfactory to Lender) with respect to the same within one
hundred twenty (120) days of receipt of notice thereof or such sooner
date if forfeiture is imminent. As used in this clause, "encumber"
shall include, without limitation, the placing or permitting the
placing of any mortgage, deed of trust, assignment of rents or other
security device. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Mortgagor
encumbers all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or any interest
or rights therein, such encumbrance shall not constitute an Event of
Default if Borrower prepays the principal amount of the Note or Notes
secured by such Mortgaged Property in accordance with Section 2.08 and
in an amount sufficient to cause the ratio of (A) the outstanding
principal amount of such Note or Notes immediately following such
prepayment to (B) the fair market value of the applicable Mortgaged
Property (taking into account the effect of such encumbrance) to equal
no more than 105% of the greater of (Y) the Loan to Value Ratio as of
the date immediately prior to such encumbrance or (Z) the Loan to Value
Ratio as of the date of the Initial Advance or Future Advance evidenced
by the Note or Notes secured by such Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 7.02. Remedies of Lender. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, Lender may, without notice to or demand upon Borrower, which
are expressly waived by Borrower (except for notices or demands otherwise
required by applicable Law to the extent not effectively waived by Borrower),
exercise any one or more of the following Remedies:
(a) Lender, by notice to Borrower, may declare the entire
principal of the Notes then outstanding (if not then due and payable),
and all accrued and unpaid interest and other sums in respect thereof,
to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the
principal of the Notes and said accrued and unpaid interest and other
sums shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything herein
or in the Notes or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding;
(b) Lender may perform any of the Borrower's obligations under
the Transaction Documents in such manner as Lender may determine; and
(c) Lender may proceed to protect, exercise and enforce any
and all other Remedies provided under the Transaction Documents or by
applicable Law.
SECTION 7.03. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or
remedies, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute. No delay or omission of Lender to exercise any
right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or
power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or any
acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given hereby to Lender may be
exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by Lender.
17
Nothing herein or in the Notes or the other Transaction Documents shall affect
the obligation of Borrower to pay the principal of, and interest and other sums
on, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents in the manner and at the time
and place therein respectively expressed.
SECTION 7.04. Lender's Rights Concerning Application of
Amounts Collected. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply, to the extent
permitted by law, any amount collected hereunder to principal, interest or any
other sum due under the Notes or the other Transaction Documents or otherwise in
respect of the Transactions in such order and amounts, and to such obligations,
as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion.
ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS
SECTION 8.01. Documentation, Etc. Satisfactory. All
documentation and proceedings reasonably deemed by Lender's Counsel to be
necessary or required in connection herewith and the documents relating hereto
shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender's Counsel as to form and
substance, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. In addition, the
Persons responsible for the execution and delivery of, and signatories to, all
of such documentation, shall be acceptable to and subject to the approval of
Lender's Counsel. Lender's Counsel shall receive copies, certified if requested
by either of them, of all documents which they may reasonably require in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
SECTION 8.02. Notices. Except as expressly provided otherwise,
all notices, demands, consents, approvals and statements required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently
given or served for all purposes when presented personally, three (3) days after
mailing by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or one (1) day after
delivery to a nationally recognized overnight courier service providing evidence
of the date of delivery, addressed to a party at its address on the signature
page hereof, or at such other address of which a party shall have notified the
party giving such notice in writing in accordance with the foregoing
requirements.
SECTION 8.03. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or material
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, nor
consent to any material departure by Borrower or any Mortgagor therefrom, shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
party against whom such amendment, waiver or consent is sought to be enforced,
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the foregoing,
acceptance by Lender of any sum required to be paid pursuant hereto or any other
Transaction Document, after its due date, or in an amount less than the sum then
due, shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of its right to require prompt
payment when due of all other such sums or to declare a default or to exercise
such other rights provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents for such
late or reduced payment.
SECTION 8.04. Successors and Assigns. Except as herein
provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
Borrower and Lender and their respective heirs, personal representatives,
successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may
not assign, transfer or set over to another, in whole or in part, all or any
part of its benefits, rights, duties and obligations hereunder, including, but
not limited to, performance of and compliance with conditions hereof and the
right to receive the proceeds of the Loan.
18
SECTION 8.05. Severability. The provisions hereof are intended
to be severable. Any provisions hereof, or the application thereof to any Person
or circumstance, which, for any reason, in whole or in part, is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof (or the remaining portions of such provision) or the
application thereof to any other Person or circumstance, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision (or portion thereof) or the application
thereof to any Person or circumstance in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 8.06. Non-Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or
delay on Lender's part in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents or provided by law
(hereinafter in this Section, each a "Remedy") shall operate as a waiver of any
such Remedy or shall be deemed to constitute Lender's acquiescence in any
default by Borrower or Mortgagors under any of said documents. A waiver by
Lender of any Remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any
other or future exercise thereof or of any other Remedy. The Remedies are
cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any
other Remedies.
SECTION 8.07. Certain Waivers. Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of any actions
taken by Lender hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or any other
agreement or instrument relating hereto or thereto except to the extent
otherwise provided herein, (iii) all other notices, demands and protests, and
all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of
Borrower's obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the
omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this Section, might
constitute grounds for relieving Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder or
under the other Transaction Documents, (iv) any requirement that Lender protect,
secure, perfect or insure any Lien on any collateral for the Transactions or
exhaust any right or take any action against Borrower, Mortgagors or any other
Person or against any collateral for the Transactions, (v) any right or claim of
right to cause a marshalling of Borrower's assets and (vi) all rights of
subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law or
otherwise by reason of payment by Borrower pursuant hereto or to any other

Lender's Counsel) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation for
and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or for the performance
hereof and of the other Transaction Documents, and for any services which may be
required in addition to those normally and reasonably contemplated hereby; and

In connection with the foregoing, Lender agrees, to the extent practicable, to
appoint a single counsel, selected by Lender in connection with the enforcement

costs, charges or expenses, Borrower shall reimburse Lender, as appropriate, on
demand for the amounts so paid, together with interest thereon at the Interest
Rate.

expenses, losses, damages and liabilities of any kind, including in
tort, penalties and interest (collectively, "Losses") arising out of or
by reason of any investigation or litigation or other proceedings

proceedings) relating to any actual or proposed use by Borrower of the
proceeds of the Loan, including, without limitation, the fees and
disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such
investigation, litigation or other proceedings;

incurred solely by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the party to be indemnified);
(c) any and all Losses arising due to this Agreement or any
documents, financial statements, reports, notices, schedules,

Borrower or Mortgagors to Lender in connection with the negotiation of

other Transaction Documents to be furnished by or on behalf of Borrower
or Mortgagors, containing any untrue or misleading statement of a
material fact or omitting a material fact necessary to make the
statements herein or therein not misleading; or due to Borrower not
disclosing to Lender in writing any fact which materially affects
adversely or, so far as Borrower can now foresee, will result in a
Material Adverse Effect;
(d) any and all Losses due to violations of any requirement of
any Governmental Authorities with respect to any of the Mortgaged
Property or the Improvements;
(e) any and all Losses arising out of any failure of the
Premises Documents to be in full force and effect, or any defaults (or

constitute such a default) under any thereof or any failure to satisfy
all conditions to the effectiveness and continuing effectiveness
thereof required to be satisfied as of the date hereof;
(f) any and all Losses arising due to (i) Borrower or any
Mortgagor or fiduciary of Borrower or any Mortgagor having engaged in
any prohibited transaction (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or
Section 406 of ERISA) which could reasonably be expected to subject
Borrower, Mortgagors or any Person whom they have an obligation to
indemnify under this Agreement to any tax or penalty imposed under
Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA; (ii) Borrower or any
Mortgagor or any ERISA Affiliate maintaining, contributing to or having

Borrower or any Mortgagor or any ERISA Affiliate having incurred or
being reasonably expected to incur any withdrawal liability within the
meaning of Part I of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA to any
Multiemployer Plan, or any liability under Title IV of ERISA upon the
reorganization or termination of a Multiemployer Plan; (iv) any
Employee Benefit Plan, other than any Multiemployer Plan, not being
administered in accordance with its terms and in compliance with all
applicable Laws, including any reporting requirements; (v) any Pension
Plan intending to qualify under Section 401(a) or 401(k) of the Code
failing to so qualify other than any Multiemployer Plan; (vi) Borrower

obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
constituting "plan assets" of any "employee benefit plan" within the
meaning of ERISA or of any "plan" within the meaning of Section

Department of Labor in rules, regulations, releases or bulletins or as

Transaction Documents and the termination of the Loan only for the period ending
on the fifth anniversary of such repayment and termination.
SECTION 8.10. Environmental Indemnification. Borrower agrees
to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless Lender and its respective
officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an "Indemnified
Party") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified
Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of
(including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation
or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) the actual or
alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any of the Premises or any
Environmental Action relating in any way to any of the Premises, except to the
extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense results from such
Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an
investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this
Section 8.10 applies, such indemnity shall at Lender's election be effective
whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by
Borrower, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, and
whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto.
SECTION 8.11. Partial Release of Mortgaged Property. At any
time after the date hereof, Lender shall consent to a release from the lien of
the applicable Mortgage of a portion but less than all (a "Partial Release") of
any individual Mortgaged Property (the "Released Mortgaged Property"), provided
that Borrower has satisfied each of the following requirements:
(a) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
or shall result therefrom;
(b) At least one of the following conditions shall be
satisfied:
(i) the Loan to Value Ratio immediately following
such Partial Release shall not be materially greater than the
Loan to Value Ratio immediately prior to such Partial Release,
(ii) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to Lender
and Lender shall apply such amount as is necessary to assure
that the Loan to Value Ratio immediately following such
Partial Release shall not be materially greater than the Loan
to Value Ratio immediately prior to such Partial Release, or
(iii) the value of the Released Mortgage Property
shall not have been included in the Appraisal of such
Mortgaged Property delivered at the time of the Initial
Advance or Future Advance secured by such Mortgaged Property;
(c) Borrower's capacity to meet its payment obligations with
respect to the Note secured by the Mortgaged Property subject to such
Partial Release is neither substantially enhanced nor impaired within
the meaning of Treasury Regulation ss.1.100-3(e)(4)(iv); and
(d) Borrower shall have paid the reasonable costs and expenses
of Lender and Lender's counsel incurred in connection with such Partial
Release.
21
Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, Lender shall release the Released
Mortgaged Property and related collateral. Lender shall promptly execute and
deliver to Borrower, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, any additional
documents required by law in order to release the Released Mortgaged Property
and related collateral.
SECTION 8.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and
the same instrument, and any party hereto may execute this Agreement by signing
any such counterpart.
SECTION 8.13. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and
the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall in all respects be
governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the
State of New York, including, without limitation, Section 5-1401 of the New York
General Obligations Laws (without giving effect to New York's principles of
conflicts of law). Borrower and Lender hereby irrevocably submit to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in The
City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, and Borrower hereby agrees and consents that, in addition to
any methods of service of process provided for under applicable Law, all service
of process in any such suit, action or proceeding in any New York State or
Federal court sitting in The City of New York (or such other county in New York
State) may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
directed to Borrower at the address indicated on the signature page hereof, and
service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same shall have been
so mailed.
SECTION 8.14. Integration. The Transaction Documents
constitute the entire agreement among Borrower, Mortgagors and Lender relating
to the transactions contemplated thereby and supersede any prior oral or written
statements or agreements with respect to such transactions.
SECTION 8.15. Gross-Up for Taxes. All payments made by
Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and
without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future
income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions
or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or
assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding income taxes and franchise or
other taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes) imposed on Lender. If any such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") are required to be withheld from any amounts
payable to Lender hereunder or under its Note, the amounts so payable to Lender
shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of
all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable with respect
to the Transactions at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement
and the Notes. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by Borrower, as
promptly as possible thereafter Borrower shall send to Lender a certified copy
of an original official receipt received by Borrower showing payment thereof. If
Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or fails to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify Lender for any incremental taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender as a result of any such
failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 8.16. Assignment of Mortgages and Notes. Subject to
the consent of Borrower, Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any
portion of its rights and obligations under the Notes or the Mortgages to any
other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of
the rights and benefits in respect thereof granted to Lender under this
Agreement. Borrower, at Borrower's cost and expense, shall promptly execute and
deliver any and all documents and instruments reasonably requested by Lender to
evidence or confirm such assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
22
Borrower hereby consents to the transfer of Lender's rights and obligations
under the Notes and Mortgages to Delphi Properties Holdings, LLC.

For value received, DELPHI CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation

_________________________ Dollars ($____________), in lawful money of the United
States and in immediately available funds, in accordance with the terms set
forth in the Contribution and Loan Agreement (as defined below). Maker also
covenants and promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof,
for the period such balance is outstanding, in like money, at said office for
the account of Lender, at the time and at a rate per annum as provided in the
Contribution and Loan Agreement. Any amount or principal hereof which is not
paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, shall
bear interest from the date when due until said principal amount is paid in
full, payable on demand, at the Interest Rate.
This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Contribution
and Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, the "Contribution and Loan Agreement") by and
between Maker, as Borrower, and Lender. All of the terms, conditions and
provisions of the Contribution and Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated by
reference. All capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have
the meanings given to them in the Contribution and Loan Agreement.
This Note is secured by that certain [Mortgage/Deed of Trust,
Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Filing] dated as
of even date herewith made by [Name of Mortgagor/Grantor] for the benefit of
Lender and covering the premises commonly known as [Address of Mortgaged
Property]. Reference to the Mortgage is hereby made for a description of the
"Mortgaged Property" encumbered thereby and the rights of Maker, and Lender with
respect to such Mortgaged Property.
Should the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part
thereof be collected at law or in equity, or in bankruptcy, receivership or any
other court proceeding (whether at the trial or appellate level), or should this
Note be placed in the hands of attorneys for collection upon default, Maker
agrees to pay, in addition to the principal, interest and other sums due and
payable hereon, all costs of collecting or attempting to collect this Note,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.
All parties to this Note, whether principal, surety, guarantor
or endorser, hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of
protest and notice of dishonor.
This Note shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New
York, including, without limitation, Section 5-1401 of the New York General
Obligations Laws (without giving effect to New York's principles of conflicts of
law), provided that, as to the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be
charged or collected, if the Laws applicable to Lender permit it to charge or
collect a higher rate than the Laws of the State of New York, then such Law
applicable to Lender shall apply to Lender under this Note.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
obligations of Maker under this Note shall be subject to the limitation that
payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt of any
such payment by Lender would be contrary to provisions of Law applicable to
Lender limiting the maximum rate of interest that may be charged or collected by
Lender.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Maker has executed and delivered this Note
as of the date first above written.

SECTION 3.1 TITLE TO MORTGAGED PROPERTY AND LIEN OF THIS

claims or interests, except the Permitted Liens. This Deed of Trust creates
valid, enforceable first priority liens and security interests against the
Mortgaged Property.

protect the first lien and security interest status of this Deed of Trust and
the other Transaction Documents, subject to Permitted Liens. If any lien or
security interest other than a Permitted Lien is asserted against the Mortgaged

without the prior written consent of Beneficiary (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), permit any of the Fixtures owned
or leased by Grantor to be removed at any time from the Land or Improvements,

SECTION 3.5 INSPECTION. Grantor shall permit Beneficiary, and
Beneficiary's agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior
notice to Grantor, to inspect the Mortgaged Property and all books and records
of Grantor located thereon that are related directly to the Mortgaged Property,

interfere with the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property and shall be
performed in accordance with such requirements as Grantor shall reasonably
impose.
SECTION 3.6 OTHER COVENANTS. All of the covenants in the
Contribution and Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and,
together with covenants in this Article 3, shall be covenants running with the
land.

other insurance as may be required by applicable Law (including worker's
compensation and employer's liability insurance) or as Beneficiary may
reasonably require from time to time. Any policy of property insurance required
by clause (i) above shall be in an amount not less than the full replacement
cost of the Improvements and any personal property covered by such policy, shall
contain a "full replacement cost" endorsement, shall insure against flood loss
risk if the Land is located in a Flood Hazard Area, and shall name Beneficiary
as an additional insured or mortgagee and as a "loss payee". All insurance
policies shall be in form and substance and issued by insurers reasonably
satisfactory to
3
Beneficiary, and shall contain such deductibles and such endorsements as
Beneficiary may reasonably require.
(b) Condemnation Awards. Grantor assigns all Condemnation
Awards to Beneficiary, provided that Grantor shall have the right to collect and
receive such Condemnation Awards and to give proper receipts and acquittances
therefor, subject to the terms of the Contribution and Loan Agreement.
(c) Insurance Proceeds. Grantor assigns to Beneficiary all
proceeds of any insurance policies insuring against loss or damage to the
Mortgaged Property, provided that Grantor shall have the right to settle, adjust
and compromise all insurance claims, subject to the terms of the Contribution
and Loan Agreement.
SECTION 3.8 CREATION OF LIENS. Grantor shall not enter into
any contract or arrangement of any kind the performance of which by the other
party thereto would give rise to a Lien, other than a Permitted Lien or as
otherwise permitted pursuant to the Contribution and Loan Agreement, on the
Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 3.9 MAINTENANCE OF EXISTENCE. [INSERT IF GRANTOR IS
NOT A RELATED MORTGAGOR: Grantor shall preserve and keep in full force and
effect its existence, franchises, rights and privileges as a business or stock
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity under
the laws of Grantor's jurisdiction of formation or organization.]
ARTICLE 4
WAIVERS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Deed of Trust are independent of any other obligations of any other Person under
or in respect of the Transaction Documents, and a separate action or actions may
be brought and prosecuted against Grantor to enforce this Deed of Trust,
irrespective of whether any action is brought against Borrower or any other
Person or whether Borrower or any other Person is joined in any such action or

may be, if at any time any payment or performance of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Beneficiary or any other Person upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or any of its
Affiliates or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 4.2 WAIVERS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Grantor hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of
acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance,

afforded by applicable law.
(d) Grantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any
duty on the part of Trustee or Beneficiary to disclose to Grantor any matter,

other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any

manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, except at
such times as all of the Obligations and all other amounts then due and payable
under this Deed of Trust shall have been paid or performed. If (a) Grantor shall
make payment to Beneficiary of all or any part of the Obligations, (b) all of
the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid or performed in full or (c)
the Maturity Date shall have occurred, Beneficiary will, at Grantor's request
and expense, execute and deliver to Grantor appropriate documents, without
recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the
transfer by subrogation to Grantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting
from such payment made by Grantor pursuant to this Deed of Trust.
SECTION 4.4 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Grantor, and by their
acceptance of this Deed of Trust, Trustee and Beneficiary, hereby confirm that
it is the intention of all such Persons that this Deed of Trust and the
Obligations of Grantor hereunder shall not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign,
federal or state law, or any case or proceeding under any such laws, to the
extent applicable to this Deed of Trust and the Obligations of Grantor
hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, Grantor, Trustee and
Beneficiary hereby irrevocably agree that, notwithstanding any provision herein
or in the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Obligations of
Grantor under this Deed of Trust at any time shall be limited to the maximum
amount as will result in the Obligations of Grantor under this Deed of Trust not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
SECTION 4.5 LIMITED RECOURSE. Notwithstanding any provision
herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, following the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall look solely to Borrower,
the Mortgaged Property and any other security provided under the other
Transaction Documents for the repayment of the Obligations and will not enforce
a deficiency judgment against Grantor. Nothing contained in this Section 4.5,
however, shall modify, diminish or discharge the personal liability of Borrower,
and nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Beneficiary
may have under any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for
the full amount due to Beneficiary under the Note or to require that the
Mortgaged Property shall continue to secure the Obligations.
ARTICLE 5
DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE
SECTION 5.1 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary's election
and by or through Trustee or otherwise, exercise any or all of the following
rights, remedies and recourses:
6
(a) Acceleration. Subject to any provisions of the Transaction
Documents providing for the automatic acceleration of the Indebtedness upon the
occurrence of certain Events of Default, declare the Indebtedness to be
immediately due and payable, without further notice, presentment, protest,
notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand or action of any
nature whatsoever (each of which hereby is expressly waived by Grantor),
whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable.
(b) Entry on Mortgaged Property. Enter the Mortgaged Property
and take exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts
relating thereto or located thereon. If Grantor remains in possession of the
Mortgaged Property following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and without Beneficiary's prior written consent, Beneficiary
may invoke any legal remedies to dispossess Grantor.
(c) Operation of Mortgaged Property. Hold, lease, develop,
manage, operate or otherwise use the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and
conditions as Beneficiary may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making
such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions,
from time to time, as Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable), and apply all
Rents and other amounts collected by Trustee or Beneficiary in connection
therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7.
(d) Foreclosure and Sale. Institute proceedings for the
complete foreclosure of this Deed of Trust by judicial action or by power of
sale, in which case the Mortgaged Property may be sold for cash or credit in one
or more parcels as Beneficiary may determine. With respect to any notices
required or permitted under the UCC, Grantor agrees that ten (10) days' prior
written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. At any such sale by
virtue of any judicial proceedings, power of sale, or any other legal right,
remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property
shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law,
Grantor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title,
interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at
law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual
bar both at law and in equity against Grantor, and against all other Persons
claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under
Grantor. Beneficiary may be a purchaser at such sale and if Beneficiary is the
highest bidder, Beneficiary may credit the portion of the purchase price that
would be distributed to Beneficiary against the Indebtedness in lieu of paying
cash. In the event this Deed of Trust is foreclosed by judicial action,
appraisement of the Mortgaged Property is waived.
(e) Receiver. Make application to a court of competent
jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and
without notice to Grantor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property
for the repayment of the Indebtedness, the appointment of a receiver of the
Mortgaged Property, and Grantor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any
such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar
cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the
Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall
apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7.
(f) Other. Exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses
granted under the Transaction Documents or otherwise available at law or in
equity.
SECTION 5.2 SEPARATE SALES. The Mortgaged Property may be sold
in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Trustee in its sole
discretion may elect. The right of sale arising out of any Event of Default
shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.
SECTION 5.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE, CONCURRENT AND NONEXCLUSIVE.
Trustee and Beneficiary shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in
the Transaction Documents and
7
available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be
cumulated and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or
concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Transaction
Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of
them, at the sole discretion of Trustee or Beneficiary, as the case may be, (c)
may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the 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 (d) are intended to be,
and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Trustee or Beneficiary in the
enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Transaction Documents
or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.
SECTION 5.4 RELEASE OF AND RESORT TO COLLATERAL. Beneficiary
may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any
notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged
Property, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in
any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security
interest created in or evidenced by the Transaction Documents or their status as
a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property.
For payment of the Indebtedness, Beneficiary may resort to any other security in
such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect.
SECTION 5.5 WAIVER OF REDEMPTION, NOTICE AND MARSHALLING OF
ASSETS. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor
by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial
decision exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on
execution or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process,
redemption or extension of time for payment, (b) all notices of any Event of
Default or of any election by Trustee or Beneficiary to exercise or the actual
exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Transaction
Documents, and (c) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse
order of alienation.
SECTION 5.6 DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS. If Trustee or
Beneficiary shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse
permitted under the Transaction Documents and shall thereafter elect to
discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Trustee or Beneficiary, as the case
may be, shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event,
Grantor, Trustee and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions
with respect to the Indebtedness, the Obligations, the Transaction Documents,
the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and
powers of Beneficiary and Trustee shall continue as if the right, remedy or
recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall
waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Trustee or
Beneficiary thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the
Transaction Documents for such Event of Default.
SECTION 5.7 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any sale
of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing,
management, operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied
by Beneficiary or Trustee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in the
following order unless otherwise required by applicable law:
(a) to the payment of the costs and expenses of taking
possession of the Mortgaged Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing,
improving and selling the same, including, without limitation (1) trustee's and
receiver's fees and expenses, including the repayment of the amounts evidenced
by any receiver's certificates, (2) court costs, (3) attorneys' and accountants'
fees and expenses, and (4) costs of advertisement;
(b) to the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the
Obligations in such manner and order of preference as Beneficiary in its sole
discretion may determine; and
8
(c) the balance, if any, to the Persons legally entitled
thereto.
SECTION 5.8 OCCUPANCY AFTER FORECLOSURE. Any sale of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in accordance with Section 5.1(d) will
divest all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to the property sold.
Subject to applicable law, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive
immediate possession of the property purchased. If Grantor retains possession of
such property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Grantor will be
considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Grantor remains
in possession after demand to remove, be subject to eviction and removal,
forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law.
SECTION 5.9 ADDITIONAL ADVANCES AND DISBURSEMENTS; COSTS OF
ENFORCEMENT.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure
such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Grantor. All sums advanced
and expenses incurred at any time by Beneficiary under this Section 5.9, or
otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any of the other Transaction Documents or
applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or
expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the
highest rate at which interest is then computed on any portion of the
Indebtedness, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be
secured by this Deed of Trust.
(b) Grantor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement
of this Deed of Trust and the other Transaction Documents, or the enforcement,
compromise or settlement of the Indebtedness or any claim under this Deed of
Trust and the other Transaction Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for
defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary in respect thereof,
by litigation or otherwise.
SECTION 5.10 NO BENEFICIARY IN POSSESSION. Neither the
enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article 5, the assignment of the
Rents and Leases under Article 6, the security interests under Article 7, nor
any other remedies afforded to Beneficiary under the Transaction Documents, at
law or in equity shall cause Trustee or Beneficiary to be deemed or construed to
be a mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Trustee or
Beneficiary to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any
action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or
liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.
ARTICLE 6
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES
SECTION 6.1 ASSIGNMENT. In furtherance of and in addition to
the assignment made by Grantor in Section 2.1 of this Deed of Trust, Grantor
hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns, sells, transfers and conveys to
Trustee (for the benefit of Beneficiary) and to Beneficiary all of its right,
title and interest in and to all Leases, whether now existing or hereafter
entered into, and all of its right, title and interest in and to all Rents. This
assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional
security only. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Grantor shall have a revocable license from Trustee and Beneficiary
to exercise all rights extended to the landlord under the Leases, including the
right to receive and collect all Rents and to hold the Rents in trust for use in
the payment and performance of the Obligations and to otherwise use the same.
The foregoing license is granted subject to the conditional limitation that no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings
have commenced, and without regard to waste, adequacy of security for the
Obligations or solvency of Grantor, the license herein granted shall
automatically expire and terminate, without notice to
9
Grantor by Trustee or Beneficiary (any such notice being hereby expressly waived
by Grantor to the extent permitted by applicable law).
SECTION 6.2 PERFECTION UPON RECORDATION. Grantor acknowledges
that Beneficiary and Trustee have taken all actions necessary to obtain, and
that upon recordation of this Deed of Trust Beneficiary and Trustee shall have,
to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first
priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all
security for such Leases. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation
of this Deed of Trust Trustee's and Beneficiary's interest in the Rents shall be
deemed to be fully perfected, "xxxxxx" and enforced as to Grantor and to the
extent permitted under applicable law, all third parties, including, without
limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under the Bankruptcy
Code, without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to
this Deed of Trust, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the
appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action.
SECTION 6.3 BANKRUPTCY PROVISIONS. Without limitation of the
absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Grantor, Trustee and
Beneficiary agree that (a) this Deed of Trust shall constitute a "security
agreement" for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the
security interest created by this Deed of Trust extends to property of Grantor
acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid
as Rents and (c) such security interest shall extend to all Rents acquired by
the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.
SECTION 6.4 NO MERGER OF ESTATES. So long as part of the
Indebtedness and the Obligations secured hereby remain unpaid and undischarged,
the fee and leasehold estates to the Mortgaged Property shall not merge, but
shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates
either in Grantor, Beneficiary, any tenant or any third party by purchase or
otherwise.
ARTICLE 7

Leases, Rents, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards to

deliver to Beneficiary such financing statements, and shall execute and deliver
to Beneficiary such other documents, instruments and further assurances, in each
case in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, as Beneficiary may, from
time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve
Beneficiary's security interest hereunder. Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes
Beneficiary to cause financing statements and any such documents, instruments
and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be
required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security
interest. Grantor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that Grantor's

organization, organizational identification number (if any), jurisdiction of
organization or location without giving at least thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to Beneficiary.
10
SECTION 7.3 FIXTURE FILING. This Deed of Trust shall also
constitute a "fixture filing" for the purposes of the UCC against all of the
Mortgaged Property which is or is to become fixtures. The information provided
