E. The Personal Property;
F. All awards or payments, including interest thereon, which may heretofore and hereafter be made with respect to the Land and the Improvements, whether from the exercise of the right of eminent domain or condemnation (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of said rights), or for a change of grade, or for any other injury to or decrease in the value of the Land and Improvements;

2
AND without limiting any of the other provisions of this Deed of Trust, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor expressly grants to Beneficiary, as a secured party, a security interest in the portion of the Property that is or may be subject to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code that 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 are 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 Deed of Trust be deemed conclusively to be real estate and mortgaged hereby.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property and all parts thereof, together with the rents, issues, profits and proceeds thereof, unto Beneficiary and to the use, benefit and advantage of Beneficiary, forever, in Trust, subject, however, to the terms, covenants, and conditions herein.
At no time shall the principal amount of the Indebtedness, not including sums advanced in accordance herewith to protect the security of this Deed of Trust, exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the original amount of the Note.
Grantor covenants and agrees with Trustee and Beneficiary as follows:
1. Payment of Indebtedness; Performance of Obligations. Grantor shall promptly pay when due the Indebtedness and shall promptly perform all Obligations.
2. Taxes and Other Obligations. Grantor shall pay, when due, and before any interest, collection fees or penalties shall accrue, all taxes, assessments, fines, impositions and other charges and obligations, including charges and obligations for any present or future repairs or improvements made on the Property, or for any other goods or services or utilities furnished to the Property, which may become a lien on or charge against the Property prior to this Deed of Trust, subject, however, to Grantor’s right to contest such lien or charge upon the posting of security reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary so long as such contest stays the enforcement or collection of such lien or charge. Should Grantor fail to make such payments, Beneficiary may, at its option and at the expense of Grantor, pay the amounts due for the account of Grantor. Upon the request of Beneficiary, Grantor shall immediately furnish to Beneficiary all notices of amounts due and receipts evidencing payment. Grantor shall promptly notify Beneficiary of any lien on all or any part of the Property and shall promptly discharge any unpermitted lien or encumbrance.
3. Reserves for Taxes/Ground Rents/Insurance/Replacement Reserve/Tenant Improvements and Leasing Reserve/Cingular Reserve.
(a) At the time of the closing of the Loan, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary a sum equal to $43,942.27 (“Ground Rent Deposit”), representing one (1) month of rent due under the Ground Lease (the “Ground Lease Reserve”), which shall be held by Beneficiary as additional security for the Loan. In addition, unless such payments are being paid in full directly to Ground Lessor by Cingular (as defined in clause (f) below) pursuant to the Phase I Lease (as defined in clause (f) below) and the Phase II Lease (as defined in clause (f) below), Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary for deposit into the Ground Lease Reserve, at the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under the Note, a sum equal to the amount estimated by Beneficiary from time to time to be sufficient to
3
enable Beneficiary to pay before they become due and payable all ground rents under the Ground Lease. Grantor shall notify Beneficiary promptly of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any obligations due under the Ground Lease of which Grantor has or obtains knowledge and authorizes Beneficiary or its agent to obtain the bills for ground rents directly from the appropriate Ground Lessor. So long as no Event of Default exists hereunder, Beneficiary shall apply the sums so paid by Grantor to pay such ground rents. In making any such payments, Beneficiary may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate obtained by Beneficiary in good faith, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity thereof. The Ground Lease Reserve may be commingled with the general funds of Beneficiary and such Ground Lease Reserve shall not constitute trust funds. The funds contained in the Ground Lease Reserve shall bear interest for the benefit of Grantor at the rate of interest which is the lower of (i) the amount paid from time to time by Beneficiary on commercial money market accounts; or (ii) the return on permitted investments to be made with the funds by any third party servicer, rating agency or loan purchaser (“Reserve Interest Rate”), and all such interest shall be added to and become part of the Ground Lease Reserve, provided Beneficiary shall make no representation or warranty as to the actual rate of interest. If such amount on deposit with Beneficiary is insufficient to fully pay such ground rents, Grantor shall, within 10 days following notice at any time from Beneficiary, deposit such additional sum as may be required for the full payment of such ground rents. Grantor hereby grants Beneficiary a first priority security interest in such funds and Grantor shall execute any other documents and take any other actions necessary to provide Beneficiary with such a perfected security interest. Upon the Maturity Date, the moneys then remaining on deposit with Beneficiary or its agent in the Ground Lease Reserve shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be applied against the Indebtedness. The obligation of Grantor to pay ground rents due under the Ground Lease is not affected or modified by the provisions of this paragraph.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than the Ground Rent Deposit, Beneficiary agrees to defer its right under this Mortgage to require monthly deposits of the ground rents into the Ground Lease Reserve as long as there exists no Event of Default (or event with which notice or lapse of time or both could constitute an Event of Default) under the Loan Documents. If Beneficiary determines that such condition is not satisfied, then in addition to Beneficiary’s other remedies under applicable law and under the Loan Documents, Beneficiary may require that Grantor immediately commence making monthly deposits of the ground rents due under the Ground Lease in an amount determined by Lender for such purpose into the Ground Lease Reserve.
(b) Unless at any given time such payments are being paid in full directly by Cingular pursuant to the Phase I Lease and the Phase II Lease, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary, at the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under the Note, a sum equal to 1/12 of the amount estimated by Beneficiary from time to time to be sufficient to enable Beneficiary to pay at least 30 days before they become due and payable, all taxes, assessments and other similar charges levied against the Property. So long as no Event of Default exists hereunder, Beneficiary shall apply the sums so paid by Grantor to pay such tax items. In making any such payments, Beneficiary may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate obtained by Beneficiary in good faith, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity thereof.
4
These sums may be commingled with the general funds of Beneficiary, and no interest shall be payable thereon nor shall these sums constitute trust funds. If such amount on deposit with Beneficiary is insufficient to fully pay such tax items, if applicable, Grantor shall, within 10 days following notice at any time from Beneficiary, deposit such additional sum as may be required for the full payment of such tax items. Grantor hereby grants Beneficiary a first priority security interest in such funds and Grantor shall execute any other documents and take any other actions necessary to provide Beneficiary with such a perfected security interest. Upon the Maturity Date, the moneys then remaining on deposit with Beneficiary or its agent shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be applied against the Indebtedness. The obligation of Grantor to pay such tax items is not affected or modified by the provisions of this paragraph.
(c) Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary, at the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under the Note, a sum equal to 1/12 of the amount estimated by Beneficiary from time to time to be sufficient to enable Beneficiary to pay at least 30 days before they become due and payable, all insurance premiums due for the renewal, on an annual basis, of the coverage afforded by the insurance policies required hereunder upon the expiration thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists hereunder, Beneficiary shall apply the sums so paid by Grantor to pay such insurance premiums. In making any such payment, Beneficiary may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate obtained by Beneficiary in good faith, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity thereof. These sums may be commingled with the general funds of Beneficiary, and no interest shall be payable thereon nor shall these sums constitute trust funds. If such amount on deposit with Beneficiary is insufficient to fully pay such insurance premiums, Grantor shall, within 10 days following notice at any time from Beneficiary, deposit such additional sum as may be required for the full payment of such insurance premiums. Grantor hereby grants Beneficiary a first priority security interest in such funds and Grantor shall execute any other documents and take any other actions necessary to provide Beneficiary with such a perfected security interest. Upon the Maturity Date, the moneys then remaining on deposit with Beneficiary or its agent shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be applied against the Indebtedness. The obligation of Grantor to pay such insurance premiums is not affected or modified by the provisions of this paragraph.
(d) At the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under the Note, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary the Replacement Reserve Monthly Payment (such payments shall be referred to as the “Replacement Reserve”) until such time as the balance in the Replacement Reserve equals $65,300.00 (the “Minimum Replacement Reserve Balance”). Thereafter, if at anytime there is a draw causing the Replacement Reserve to contain less than the Minimum Replacement Reserve Balance, Grantor shall continue to pay Beneficiary for deposit into the Replacement Reserve, the Replacement Reserve Monthly Payment until the balance in the Replacement Reserve again equals the Minimum Replacement Reserve Balance. Whenever the balance in the Replacement Reserve again equals the Minimum Replacement Reserve Balance, Grantor may suspend making monthly payments into the Replacement Reserve. The Replacement Reserve may be commingled with the general funds of Beneficiary and no interest shall be payable thereon nor shall such Replacement Reserve constitute trust funds. The funds contained in the Replacement Reserve shall be utilized by Grantor solely for exterior,
5
structural, HVAC, roof, foundation and mechanical improvements that are customarily accounted for as capital expenses, and other capital improvements reasonably approved in advance by Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve for the actual cost of such items and approved capital improvements upon Grantor’s providing Beneficiary with receipts, invoices, lien waivers, photographs and other documentation deemed necessary by Beneficiary to insure that the work and/or materials related to the requested disbursement have been completed and/or provided, with minimum draws of $5,000.00, which shall occur no more frequently than once per month. Upon the Maturity Date, the moneys then remaining on deposit with Beneficiary or its agent shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be applied against the Indebtedness. Grantor hereby grants Beneficiary a first priority security interest in the Replacement Reserve and Grantor shall execute any other documents and take any other actions necessary to provide Beneficiary with such a perfected security interest in the Replacement Reserve.
(e) At the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under the Note, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary monthly deposits in the amount of the TI and Leasing Reserve Monthly Payment, if any, for approved tenant improvements and leasing commissions (such payments shall be referred to as the “TI and Leasing Reserve”). The TI and Leasing Reserve may be commingled with the general funds of Beneficiary and such TI and Leasing Reserve shall not constitute trust funds. The funds contained in the TI and Leasing Reserve shall bear interest for the benefit of Grantor at the Reserve Interest Rate and all such interest shall be added to and become a part of the TI and Leasing Reserve, provided Beneficiary shall make no representation or warranty as to the actual rate of interest. The funds contained in the TI and Leasing Reserve shall be disbursed to Grantor solely to pay for tenant improvements and leasing commissions due pursuant to leases entered into in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph 7 hereof or otherwise approved by Beneficiary, but only when the tenants under such leases are in occupancy, open for business, and paying full contractual rent without any right of offset or rent abatement. Beneficiary shall make disbursements from the TI and Leasing Reserve for the actual cost of such approved tenant improvements and leasing commissions upon Grantor’s providing Beneficiary with receipts, invoices, lien waivers, photographs and other documentation deemed necessary by Beneficiary to insure that the work and/or materials related to the requested disbursement have been completed and/or provided, with minimum draws of $5,000.00, which shall occur no more frequently than once per month. Upon the Maturity Date, the moneys then remaining on deposit with Beneficiary or its agent shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be applied against the Indebtedness. Grantor hereby grants Beneficiary a first priority security interest in the TI and Leasing Reserve and shall execute any other documents and take any other actions necessary to provide Beneficiary with such a perfected security interest in the TI and Leasing Reserve.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, without waiving any of Grantor’s leasing restrictions and obligations under the Loan Documents, Beneficiary agrees to defer its right under this Deed of Trust to require monthly deposits of the TI and Leasing Reserve Monthly Payment into the TI and Leasing Reserve as long as there exists no Event of Default (or event with which notice or lapse of time or both could constitute an Event of Default) under the Loan Documents and the following conditions are met to Beneficiary’s satisfaction:
6
(w) | The sole owner of the Property is Grantor or a successor entity which is approved under the terms of the Loan Documents or which Beneficiary has approved in writing (not only as an acceptable Transferee (as hereinafter defined) and assignee generally, but also an entity that has sufficient credit worthiness that Beneficiary agrees to suspend the TI and Leasing Reserve Monthly Payment specifically with respect to that successor entity also), |
(z) | The Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) does not fall below 1.10 to 1.0. |
If Beneficiary determines that such condition is not satisfied, then in addition to Beneficiary’s other remedies under applicable law and under the Loan Documents, Beneficiary may require that Grantor immediately commence making monthly deposits of the TI and Leasing Reserve Monthly Payment in an amount reasonably determined by Beneficiary for such purpose (based upon Beneficiary’s standard underwriting as to the expected vacancy at the Property and the corresponding tenant improvement and leasing commission requirements with respect to such expected vacancies) into the TI and Leasing Reserve.
(f) If that certain Lease between Grantor, as landlord, and New Cingular Wireless Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cingular”), as tenant, dated January 18, 2000 (“Phase II Lease”) is not renewed by Cingular on or before November 30, 2009 for a term which extends to January 1, 2020 or later, at a rental rate which is equal to or greater than the rental rate under the Phase II Lease at the time such Phase II Lease expires, and for all of the space at the Property leased by Cingular as of the date hereof pursuant to the Phase II Lease (“Phase II Premises”) (any renewal meeting all such requirements a “Phase II Renewal”), then at the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under the Note beginning December 1, 2009 and ending May 31, 2011, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary monthly deposits in the amount of (i) $111,111.11 (“Cingular Reserve A”), plus (ii) $0.66 per rentable square foot of the Phase II Space not then subject to a Phase II Renewal or a Replacement Lease (“Cingular Reserve B”). If that certain Lease between Grantor, as landlord, and Cingular, as tenant, dated October 30, 1998 (“Phase I Lease”) is not renewed by Cingular on or before March 31, 2013 for a term which extends to January 1, 2020 or later, at a rental rate which is equal to or greater than the rental rate under the Phase I Lease at the time such Phase I Lease expires, and for all of the space at the Property leased by Cingular as of the date hereof pursuant to the Phase I Lease (“Phase I Premises”) (any renewal meeting all such requirements a “Phase I Renewal”), then at the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under the Note beginning April 1, 2013 and ending September 30, 2014, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary monthly deposits in the amount of $0.88 per rentable square foot of the Phase I Premises not then subject to a Phase I Renewal or a Replacement Lease (“Cingular Reserve C”) (the Cingular Reserve A, the Cingular Reserve B and the Cingular Reserve C are referred to collectively herein as the “Cingular Reserve”). The Cingular Reserve may be commingled with the general funds of Beneficiary and such Cingular Reserve shall not constitute trust funds. The funds contained in the Cingular Reserve shall bear interest for the benefit of Grantor at the Reserve Interest Rate and all such interest shall be added to and
7
become a part of the Cingular Reserve, provided Beneficiary shall make no representation or warranty as to the actual rate of interest..
The funds contained (i) in the Cingular Reserve B shall be disbursed to Grantor solely to pay for tenant improvements and leasing commissions in connection with the Phase II Premises, and (ii) in the Cingular Reserve C shall be disbursed to Grantor solely to pay for tenant improvements and leasing commissions in connection with the Phase I Premises, in either case due pursuant to leases entered into in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph 7 hereof or otherwise approved by Beneficiary; provided, however, that prior to such time as the tenants under the applicable leases are in occupancy, open for business, and paying full contractual rent without any current right of offset or rent abatement (“Full Occupancy”), Beneficiary shall only disburse (A) to the extent the tenant under the applicable lease is then rated “investment grade” by Standard & Poors, 100% of the funds Grantor is entitled to pursuant to this paragraph, and (B) for all other tenants, 50% of the funds Grantor is entitled to pursuant to this paragraph, with the remaining 50% to be disbursed to Grantor at such time as the applicable tenant is in Full Occupancy. Beneficiary shall make disbursements from the Cingular Reserve B and Cingular Reserve C for the actual cost of such approved tenant improvements and leasing commissions upon Grantor’s providing Beneficiary with receipts, invoices, lien waivers, photographs and other documentation deemed necessary by Beneficiary to insure that the work and/or materials related to the requested disbursement have been completed and/or provided, with minimum draws of $5,000.00, which shall occur no more frequently than once per month. No disbursements to Grantor from the Cingular Reserve A shall occur unless and until a Cingular Release Event (as defined below) occurs.
If at any time following the first required payment of funds into the Cingular Reserve, as long as there exists no Event of Default (or event with which notice or lapse of time or both could constitute an Event of Default) under the Loan Documents, and either (i) both a Phase II Renewal for all of the Phase II Premises and a Phase I Renewal for all of the Phase I Premises occurs, or (ii) Grantor re-leases both the entire Phase I Premises and the entire Phase II Premises to a replacement tenant or tenants (which may include Cingular) pursuant to triple net Lease(s) (i.e., such tenant pays to Grantor as additional rent its proportionate share of the taxes, insurance premiums and common area maintenance charges and other similar charges for the Property) approved by Beneficiary in accordance with Paragraph 7 below, for rental rate(s) equal to or greater than $8,747,542.00 in total aggregate actual annual base rent (specifically excluding any reimbursements or other additional rent payable to Grantor such as tenant’s share of taxes, insurance premiums or common area maintenance charges), for a term which extends to January 1, 2020 or later (any such Lease a “Replacement Lease”), and such tenant or tenants under such Replacement Lease(s) are in occupancy, open for business and paying full contractual rent without any current right of offset or rent abatement, then Beneficiary shall disburse to Grantor the entire amount then on deposit in the Cingular Reserve (a “Cingular Release Event”).
Upon the Maturity Date, the moneys then remaining on deposit with Beneficiary or its agent in the Cingular Reserve shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be applied against the Indebtedness. Grantor hereby grants Beneficiary a first priority security interest in the
8
Cingular Reserve and shall execute any other documents and take any other actions necessary to provide Beneficiary with such a perfected security interest in the Cingular Reserve.
(g) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may apply any amounts then held in any of the Reserves described above to the payment of the Indebtedness in such order as Beneficiary may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.
4. Use of Property. Unless required by applicable law, Grantor shall not permit changes in the use of any part of the Property from the use existing at the time this Deed of Trust was executed, which use Grantor represents and warrants is limited to the Permitted Use and related uses. Grantor shall not initiate or acquiesce in a change in the zoning classification of the Property without Beneficiary’s prior written consent.
5. Insurance and Condemnation. Grantor shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Grantor and the Property providing at least the following coverages:
(a) comprehensive all risk insurance (“Special Form”) including, but not limited to, loss caused by any type of windstorm or hail on the Improvements and the Personal Property, (i) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Deed of Trust shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (ii) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions or to be written on a no co-insurance form; (iii) providing for no deductible in excess of Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) for all such insurance coverage excluding windstorm and earthquake and (iv) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, coverage for loss due to operation of law in the following amounts: value of undamaged portion to be included in the building limit, demolition debris removal at 10% of the building value and increased cost of construction at 10% of the building value. In addition, Grantor shall obtain: (A) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, or such excess flood coverage as Beneficiary shall reasonably require based upon then prevailing industry standards for lenders making securitized loans substantially similar to the Loan, and (B) earthquake insurance in amounts not less than the product of the probable maximum loss applicable to the Property as set forth in a seismic report prepared by a seismic engineer or other qualified consultant reasonably approved by Beneficiary, multiplied by the replacement cost of the Improvements less the amount attributable to a five percent (5%) deductible applicable to the total insured value at risk, and in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity;
(b) business income insurance (i) with loss payable to Beneficiary; (ii) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subparagraph (a) above; (iii)
9
in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross revenues from the operation of the Property (as reduced to reflect expenses not incurred during a period of restoration or repair) for a period of at least eighteen (18) months after the date of the loss or damage by fire or other casualty; and (iv) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Grantor’s reasonable estimate of the gross revenues from the Property for the succeeding twenty-four (24) month period. All proceeds payable to Beneficiary pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Beneficiary and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Grantor of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(c) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (i) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance, otherwise known as Owner Contractor’s Protective Liability, covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy and (ii) the insurance provided for in subparagraph (a) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form, if not otherwise provided for by the all risk insurance policy, (A) on a non-reporting basis, (B) against all risks insured against pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, (C) including permission to occupy the Property and (D) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
(d) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if steam boilers or other pressure-fixed vessels are in operation, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Beneficiary on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subparagraph (a) above;
(e) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (i) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit of not less than Two Million and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in the aggregate and One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence; (ii) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Beneficiary in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate and (iii) to cover at least the following hazards: (A) premises and operations; (B) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (C) independent contractors; (D) blanket contractual liability for all written contracts and (E) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Paragraph 29 of this Deed of Trust to the extent the same is commercially available and requiring same is
10
consistent with prevailing industry standards for lenders making securitized loans substantially similar to the Loan;
(f) automobile liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of One Million Dollars and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00);
(g) worker’s compensation and employee’s liability subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the applicable state;
(h) umbrella and excess liability insurance in an amount not less than Twenty-Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subparagraph (e) above, including, but not limited to, supplemental coverage for employer liability and automobile liability, which umbrella liability coverage shall apply in excess of the automobile liability coverage in subparagraph (f) above;
(i) the insurance required under this Paragraph 5 above shall cover perils of certified acts of terrorism and acts of terrorism and Grantor shall maintain insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Paragraph 5 above at all times during the term of the Loan, to the extent same is commercially available and requiring same is consistent with prevailing industry standards for lenders making securitized loans substantially similar to the Loan; and
(j) upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Beneficiary from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
All insurance provided for in this Paragraph 5, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Beneficiary as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State with at least sixty percent (60%) of the policy limits on the property insurance program being written by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A-“ or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the rating agencies rating the Securities (one (1) of which shall be S&P if they are rating the Securities and one (1) of which will be Moody’s if they are rating the Securities), or if only one (1) rating agency is rating the Securities, then only by such rating agency, and the remaining forty percent (40%) of the policy limits on the property insurance program being written by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “BBB“ or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the rating agencies rating the Securities (one (1) of which shall be S&P if they are rating the Securities and one (1) of which will be Moody’s if they are rating the Securities), or if only one (1) rating agency is rating the Securities, then only by such rating agency,. The Policies described in this Paragraph 5 (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Beneficiary as loss payee. Prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Beneficiary, certificates of
11
insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Grantor to Beneficiary. Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 5. All Policies provided for or contemplated by this Paragraph 5, except for the Policy referenced in Paragraph 5(g) of this Deed of Trust, shall name Grantor as the insured and Beneficiary as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Beneficiary providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Beneficiary. All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that: (1) no act or negligence of Grantor, or anyone acting for Grantor, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Beneficiary is concerned; (2) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Beneficiary; provided, however, that only ten (10) days prior written notice to Beneficiary is required for cancellation due to non-payment of premiums; (3) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Beneficiary if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and (4) Beneficiary shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
Unless Grantor provides Beneficiary with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may purchase insurance at Grantor’s expense to protect Beneficiary’s interests in the Property and to maintain the insurance required by this Deed of Trust. This insurance may, but need not, protect Grantor’s interests. The coverage purchased by Beneficiary may not pay any claim made by Grantor or any claim that is made against Grantor in connection with the Property or any required insurance policy. Grantor may later cancel any insurance purchased by Beneficiary, but only after providing Beneficiary with evidence that Grantor has obtained insurance as required by this Deed of Trust. If Beneficiary purchases insurance for the Property or insurance otherwise required by this Deed of Trust, Grantor will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and other charges imposed by Beneficiary in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Indebtedness. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Grantor is able to obtain on its own.
In case of loss or damage by fire or other casualty, Grantor shall give immediate written notice thereof to the insurance carrier(s) and to Beneficiary. Beneficiary is authorized and empowered to make or file proofs of loss or damage (in each case only so long as such loss or damage is equal to or greater than $500,000.00) and to settle and adjust any claim under insurance policies which insure against such risks, or to direct Grantor, in writing, to agree with the insurance carrier(s) on the amount to be paid in regard to such loss. The proceeds of any insurance claim are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Beneficiary as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations and applied as set forth herein.
Grantor shall immediately notify Beneficiary of any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect, of the Property, or part thereof, and Grantor
12
shall appear in and prosecute any such action or proceeding unless otherwise directed by Beneficiary in writing. Grantor authorizes Beneficiary, at Beneficiary’s option, as attorney-in-fact for Grantor, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in Beneficiary’s or Grantor’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking of the Property, whether direct or indirect, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such condemnation or other taking, provided such claim is for an amount equal to or greater than $500,000.00. The proceeds of any award, payment or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect, of the Property, or part thereof, or for conveyances in lieu of condemnation, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Beneficiary as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations and applied as set forth herein.
Provided no Event of Default then exists hereunder, the net insurance proceeds and net proceeds of any condemnation award (in each case after deducting only Beneficiary’s reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same) shall be made available for the restoration or repair of the Property if, in Beneficiary’s reasonable judgment (a) restoration or repair and the continued operation of the Property is economically feasible, as reasonably determined by Beneficiary, (b) the value of Beneficiary’s security is not materially reduced, (c) the loss or condemnation, as applicable, does not occur in the 6-month period preceding the stated Maturity Date and Beneficiary’s independent consultant certifies that the restoration of the Property can be completed at least 90 days prior to the Maturity Date, and (d) Grantor deposits with Beneficiary an amount, in cash, which Beneficiary, in its reasonable discretion, determines is necessary, in addition to the net insurance proceeds or net proceeds of any condemnation award, as applicable, to pay in full the cost of the restoration or repair, including the cost to carry the Property and make all required payments due under the Loan during the period of restoration or repair. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a condition precedent to any disbursement of insurance proceeds held by Beneficiary hereunder that Beneficiary shall have approved (x) all plans and specifications for any proposed repair or restoration, (y) the construction schedule and (z) the architect’s and general contractor’s contract for all restoration that exceeds $25,000.00 in the aggregate. Beneficiary may establish other conditions it deems reasonably necessary to assure the work is fully completed in a good and workmanlike manner free of all liens or claims by reason thereof. Grantor’s deposits made pursuant to this paragraph shall be used before the net insurance proceeds or net proceeds of any condemnation award, as applicable, for such restoration or repair. If the net insurance proceeds or net proceeds of any condemnation award, as applicable, are made available for restoration or repair, such work shall be completed by Grantor in an expeditious and diligent fashion, and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. At Beneficiary’s option, the net insurance proceeds or net proceeds of any condemnation award, as applicable, shall be disbursed pursuant to a construction escrow acceptable to Beneficiary. If following the final payments for the completion of such restoration or repair there are any net insurance proceeds or net proceeds of any condemnation award, as applicable, remaining, such proceeds shall be paid (i) to Grantor to the extent Grantor was required to make a deposit pursuant to this paragraph, (ii) then to fund any shortfall in the Replacement Reserve, (iii) then to Beneficiary to be applied to the Indebtedness, whether or not due and payable until paid in full, and (iv) then to Grantor. If an Event of Default then exists, or any of the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (d) of this Paragraph 5 have not been met or satisfied, the net insurance proceeds or net proceeds of any condemnation award, as applicable, shall be applied to the Indebtedness, whether or not due and payable, with any excess paid to Grantor.
13
6. Preservation and Maintenance of Property. Grantor (a) shall not commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Property; (b) shall not abandon the Property; (c) shall keep the Property in good repair and restore or repair promptly, in a good and workmanlike manner, all or any part of the Property to the equivalent of its original condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, or such other condition as Beneficiary may approve in writing, upon any damage or loss thereto, if net insurance proceeds are made available to cover in whole or in part the costs of such restoration or repair; (d) shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any governmental body, and all requirements of any documents applicable to the Property; (e) shall provide for management of the Property by Grantor or by a property manager reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary pursuant to a contract in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary; (f) shall not take any steps whatsoever to convert the Property, or any portion thereof, to a condominium or cooperative form of management; (g) shall not install or permit to be installed on the Property any underground storage tank without the written consent of Beneficiary; and (h) shall give notice in writing to Beneficiary of and, unless otherwise directed in writing by Beneficiary, appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, the security granted by the Loan Documents or the rights or powers of Beneficiary and/or Trustee. Neither Grantor nor any tenant or other person shall remove, demolish or alter any Improvement or any Fixture, equipment, machinery or appliance in or on the Land and owned or leased by Grantor except when incident to the replacement of Fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances with items of like kind.
7. Protection of Beneficiary’s Security; Leases. If Grantor fails to pay the Indebtedness or perform the Obligations, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which affects the Property, Trustee or Beneficiary, at Beneficiary’s option, Beneficiary may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as Beneficiary deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect the Property or Beneficiary’s or Trustee’s respective interests herein, including entry upon the Property to make repairs and perform environmental tests and studies. Any amounts disbursed by Beneficiary pursuant to this Paragraph 7 (including attorneys’ costs and expenses), with interest thereon at the “Default Rate” (defined in the Note) from the date of disbursement, shall become additional Indebtedness of Grantor secured by the Loan Documents and shall be due and payable on demand. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 7 shall require Beneficiary to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.
Grantor shall not be authorized to enter into any ground lease of the Property, without Beneficiary’s prior written approval. Grantor shall not, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, modify, amend, surrender or terminate any Lease, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Leases of space in the Property shall be on the form of lease previously approved by Beneficiary with tenants and for a use acceptable to Beneficiary. All Leases of space in the Property executed or renewed after the date hereof must be reasonably approved by Beneficiary prior to the execution thereof by Grantor.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Grantor may enter into a proposed Lease (including the amendment, renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a “Renewal Lease”) without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the date such Lease or Renewal Lease is executed by Grantor (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable during such renewal,
14
or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arms-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party tenant, (iii) is written on the standard form of lease previously approved by Beneficiary, (iv) is not for premises greater than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the gross leaseable area of the Property, (v) is not for a rental greater than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the total gross rental revenues of the Property; (vi) shall have an initial term of not less than three (3) years or greater than ten (10) years, (vii) is for the same use as the current use of the Property, (viii) shall not contain any options for renewal or expansion by the tenant thereunder at rental rates which are either below comparable market levels or less than the rental rates paid by the tenant during initial lease term; and (ix) shall be to a tenant which is experienced, creditworthy and reputable. If Beneficiary consents to any new Lease of space in the Property or the renewal of any existing Lease of space in the Property, at Beneficiary’s request, Grantor shall cause the tenant thereunder to execute a subordination and attornment agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary contemporaneously with the execution of such Lease. Grantor expressly understands that any and all new or proposed leases or Renewal Leases are included in the definition of “Lease” or “Leases” as such terms may be used throughout this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Grantor may terminate a Lease without Beneficiary’s request in the ordinary course of business if (a) the related tenant is in default and (b) either (x) such Lease is for less than ten percent (10%) of the then currently occupied and rentable square feet of space at the Property or (y) Grantor has executed a lease with a replacement tenant for the premises in question.
If at the time one or more Disclosure Documents (as defined in Paragraph 10 below) are being prepared for a Securitization and if requested by Beneficiary, Grantor shall furnish, or shall use commercially reasonably efforts to cause the applicable tenant to furnish, to Beneficiary financial data and/or financial statements in accordance with Regulation AB (as defined in Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) for any tenant of any Property if, in connection with a Securitization, Beneficiary reasonably expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or reasonably expected to be included, as applicable, in such Securitization such that such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor (as defined in Paragraph 10 below); provided, however, that in the event the related lease does not require the Significant Obligor tenant to provide the foregoing information, Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable tenant to furnish such information.
8. Inspection. Beneficiary and its agents and designees may make or cause to be made reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property, including for performing any environmental inspections and testing of the Property (subject to the provisions of California Civil Code § 2929.5), and inspections of Grantor’s books, records, and contracts at all reasonable times upon reasonable advance notice, which notice may be given in writing or orally. Grantor shall cooperate with Beneficiary and its agents and designees with respect to all such inspections, including any related to the sale or potential sale of all or any portion of the Loan by Beneficiary and any securitization or potential securitization involving the Loan.
9. Books and Records. Grantor shall keep and maintain at all times at Grantor’s address stated above, or such other place as Beneficiary may approve in writing, complete and accurate books of accounts and records adequate to reflect correctly the results of the operation of the Property and copies of all written contracts, Leases and other instruments affecting the Property.
15
10. Financial Statements. Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary, within 30 days after the end of each calendar month until the later of (i) the first 12 calendar months following the closing of the loan (the “Loan”) evidenced by the Note, or (ii) the Loan is securitized as described in Paragraph 44 below, a monthly and year-to-date unaudited statement of income and expenses and a rent roll showing the name of each tenant, and for each tenant, the space occupied, the lease expiration date, the rent payable, aged accounts receivables, the rent paid to date, and the security deposit being held for such tenant (provided, however, that so long as the Phase I Lease and the Phase II Lease then remain in effect, Grantor shall not be required to deliver a monthly rent roll), each in reasonable detail and dated and certified as true and complete by Grantor or its general partner or chief financial officer, and copies of all monthly reports delivered to Grantor by the Cingular under the Phase I Lease and the Phase II Lease, including capital expenditure reports. Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary, within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the operation of the business of Grantor and at any other time upon Beneficiary’s request, a quarterly and year-to-date balance sheet and a statement of income and expenses of the Property, each in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, consistently applied (“GAAP”) and certified as true and complete by Grantor or its general partner, manager/managing member or chief financial officer. Grantor shall also furnish to Beneficiary, and shall cause each Guarantor to furnish to Beneficiary, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of Grantor, a balance sheet, a statement of income and expenses, a statement of cash flows and a comparison of the budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses for such year for the Property, together with a detailed explanation of any variances of more than five percent (5%) between budgeted and actual amounts for such year, each in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with GAAP and certified as true and complete by Grantor or its general partner, manager/managing member or chief financial officer and each Guarantor, as the case may be. In the event that the Loan has an original principal balance equal to or greater than $20,000,000.00 such annual financial statements shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. In addition, if at any time the Phase I Lease and the Phase II Lease are not then in full force and effect, Grantor shall furnish upon Beneficiary’s request (a) a rent roll and a leasing activity report for the Property during such fiscal quarter, and (b) a capital expenditure report indicating the type and amount of each capital expenditure made during such fiscal quarter. Grantor shall furnish upon Beneficiary’s request any other information that Beneficiary may reasonably require. All of the foregoing shall be certified as true and complete by Grantor or its general partner, manager/managing member or chief financial officer. In addition, Grantor shall cause each Guarantor to provide to Beneficiary a copy of his/her/its financial statements as required by Section 5.10 of that certain Guaranty of even date herewith executed by Guarantor. All of the information required by Beneficiary in this paragraph must be in a form acceptable to Beneficiary in its absolute and sole discretion. Grantor shall submit to Beneficiary an annual budget (the “Annual Budget”) for the 2006 calendar year on or prior to the date hereof and not later than sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of each calendar year thereafter in form reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary. Such annual budget shall be subject to Beneficiary’s written approval (each such Annual Budget, an “Approved Annual Budget”). In the event that Beneficiary objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by Grantor, Beneficiary shall advise Grantor of such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Grantor a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Grantor shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall advise Grantor of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Grantor a reasonably detailed description of such
16
objections) and Grantor shall promptly revise the same in accordance with the process described in this subsection until Beneficiary approves the entire Annual Budget. Until such time that Beneficiary approves a proposed Annual Budget, the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply; provided that, such Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in taxes, insurance premiums and other charges. If Grantor fails to timely furnish Beneficiary with any of the financial information and reports set forth in this paragraph within the required time periods, Beneficiary shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Grantor, acting in its sole discretion, to hire a certified public accounting firm acceptable to Beneficiary, to prepare such financial information and reports, on an audited basis. The costs and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid by Grantor on demand and, to the extent advanced by Beneficiary become, with interest thereon from the date advanced by Beneficiary at the Default Rate, additional Indebtedness of Grantor secured by the Loan Documents. Additionally, if Grantor fails to timely furnish Beneficiary with any of the financial information and reports set forth in this paragraph within the required time periods, Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive a late charge equal to $500.00 for each financial information and/or report not so furnished to Beneficiary (the “Financial Late Charge”). The Financial Late Charge shall be due and payable by Grantor immediately upon receipt by Grantor of an invoice for same from Beneficiary. Until paid, the Financial Late Charge shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be deemed additional Indebtedness of Grantor secured by the Loan Documents.
If, at the time one or more Disclosure Documents are being prepared for a Securitization, Beneficiary reasonably expects that Grantor alone or Grantor and one or more affiliates of Grantor collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and any other parcel(s) of real property, together with improvements thereon and personal property related thereto, that is “related”, within the meaning of the definition of Significant Obligor (as defined in Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB), to the Property (a “Related Property”) collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary upon request (i) the selected financial data as required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Beneficiary reasonably expects that the principal amount of the Loan, together with any loans made to an affiliate of Grantor or secured by a Related Property that is included in a Securitization with the Loan (a “Related Loan”), as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or reasonably expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization or (ii) the financial statements as required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Beneficiary reasonably expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or reasonably expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Beneficiary (A) within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Beneficiary in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Grantor and (C) not later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each fiscal year of Grantor for any period for which a filing pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with or relating to the securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required. As used herein, “Regulation AB” shall mean Regulation AB under the
17
Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended). As used herein, “Disclosure Document” shall mean a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum, or similar offering memorandum or offering circular, in each case in preliminary or final form, used to offer securities in connection with a Securitization.
11. Hazardous Substances. Grantor covenants and agrees that it (a) shall not use, generate, store, or allow to be generated, stored or used, any “Hazardous Substances” (hereinafter defined) on the Property, except in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business and in accordance with all “Environmental Laws” (hereinafter defined), (b) shall at all times maintain the Property in full compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, including timely remediating the Property if and when required without prejudice, however, to any rights or defenses against others, and (c) shall cause compliance by all tenants and sub-tenants on the Property with Grantor’s covenants and agreements contained in this Paragraph 11. Grantor shall promptly notify Beneficiary in writing of (i) any investigation, claim or other proceeding by any party caused or threatened in connection with any Hazardous Substances on the Property, or the failure or alleged failure of the Property to comply with any applicable Environmental Laws, or (ii) Grantor’s discovery of any condition on or in the vicinity of (if such condition may affect the Property) the Property to fail to comply with applicable Environmental Laws.
The term “Environmental Laws” shall include any present and future federal, state and/or local law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, license, authorization, decision, order, injunction or decree and/or other governmental directive or requirement, as well as common law, which pertains or relates to health, safety or the environment (including but not limited to, ground or air or water or noise pollution or contamination, and underground or above ground tanks) and shall include, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (“RCRA”), and any state or federal lien or superlien or environmental clean-up statutes, and regulations, rules, guidelines, or standards promulgated pursuant thereto all as amended from time to time.

For purposes of this paragraph, a “special purpose entity” is an entity, whose organizational documents contain restrictions on its activities and impose requirements intended to preserve a Person’s separateness that are substantially similar to those of Grantor, and provide, inter alia, that it: (a) is organized for the limited purpose of owning and operating one or more properties, being the general partner or a member of a borrower or, in a securitization context, the limited purpose of issuing mortgage or asset-backed securities; (b) has restrictions on its ability to incur indebtedness, dissolve, liquidate, consolidate, merge and/or sell assets; (c) may not file voluntarily a bankruptcy petition on its own behalf or on behalf of a borrower without the consent of the independent director, manager or member; and (d) shall conduct itself and cause the borrower in question to conduct itself in accordance with certain “separateness covenants,” including, but not limited to, the maintenance of its and such borrower’s books, records, bank accounts and assets separate from those of any other person or entity.

19. Uniform Commercial Code Security Agreement and Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust shall constitute a security agreement and fixture filing pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in effect from time to time for any of the items specified herein as part of the Property which, under applicable law, may be subject to a security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, the “Collateral”), and Grantor hereby, pursuant to the terms of this Deed of Trust, grants Beneficiary a security interest in the Collateral. Any reproduction of this Deed of Trust or of any other security agreement or financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement. In addition, Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to Beneficiary any financing statements, as well as
33
extensions, renewals and amendments thereof, and reproductions of this Deed of Trust in such form as Beneficiary may require to perfect a security interest with respect to said items. Grantor shall pay all costs of filing such financing statements and any extensions, renewals, amendments and releases thereof, and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements Beneficiary may reasonably require. Grantor shall, at Beneficiary’s request, at any time and from time to time, execute and deliver to Beneficiary such financing statements, amendments and other documents and do such acts as Beneficiary deems necessary in order to establish and maintain valid, attached and perfected first security interests in the Collateral in favor of Beneficiary, free and clear of all liens, claims and rights of third parties whatsoever. Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Beneficiary at any time, and from time to time, to execute and file in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of the Grantor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or within greater detail, and (b) contain any other information required by Section 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed regarding the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether the Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to the Grantor, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. Grantor agrees to furnish any such information to Beneficiary promptly upon request. Grantor further ratifies and affirms its authorization for any financing statements and/or amendments thereto, executed and filed by Beneficiary in any jurisdiction prior to the date of this Deed of Trust. In addition, Grantor covenants to: (w) obtain acknowledgments from any bailee holding Collateral; (x) obtain consents from any letter of credit issuers; (y) notify and take steps to perfect Beneficiary’s security interest in any Commercial Tort Claims; and (z) take any action necessary to vest control in Beneficiary of any of Grantor’s Electronic Chattel Paper. If an Event of Default shall occur, Beneficiary, 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 limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Beneficiary may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Beneficiary, Grantor shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary at a convenient place acceptable to Beneficiary. Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Beneficiary in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with respect to the Collateral sent to Grantor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five (5) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Grantor. Capitalized words and phrases used herein in this Paragraph 19 and Paragraph 21(c) and not otherwise defined herein and therein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in either: (i) Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in Delaware at the time the financing statement was filed by Beneficiary, or (ii) Article 9 as in force at any relevant time in Delaware, the meaning to be ascribed thereto with respect to any particular item of property shall be that under the more encompassing of the two definitions.

(l) a default by Grantor under the Ground Lease, which default continues beyond any applicable grace or cure period provided thereunder.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Indebtedness, at the option of the Beneficiary, shall become immediately due and payable without notice to Grantor, and Beneficiary and Trustee, shall be entitled to immediately exercise and pursue any or all of the rights and remedies contained in this Deed of Trust and any other Loan Document or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each remedy provided in the Loan Documents is distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order whatsoever.
36
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (i) all notices of default delivered hereunder to Grantor must be sent simultaneously to Ground Lessor at the address set forth in Paragraph 33, and Ground Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any monetary default of Grantor within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice and to cure any other default of Grantor within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice; and (ii) neither Ground Lessor’s right to cure any default or Event of Default nor any exercise of such right shall constitute an assumption of liability under this Deed of Trust.
21. Entry; Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may at any time, at its option and in its sole discretion, declare all Obligations to be due and payable and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, including any prepayment charge or fee payable under the terms of any Obligation; provided, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause (c) of Paragraph 20, all Obligations shall automatically be immediately due and payable. Beneficiary may also do any or all of the following, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, in its sole discretion, although it shall have no obligation to do any of the following:
(a) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without regard to the adequacy of Beneficiary's security, enter upon and take possession of the Property, or any part thereof, and do any acts which Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Property, or to increase the income therefrom or to protect the security hereof and, with or without taking possession of any of the Property, sue for or otherwise collect all rents and profits, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, upon the Obligations, all in such order as Beneficiary may determine. The collection of rents and profits and the application thereof shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done in response thereto or pursuant to such notice;
(b) Bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to enforce any of the covenants hereof;
(c) Exercise any or all of the remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, but not limited to:

(ii) without notice to or demand upon Grantor, make such payments and do such acts as Beneficiary may deem necessary to protect its security interest in the
37
Collateral, including, without limitation, paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge or lien which is prior or superior to the security interest granted hereunder, and in exercising any such powers or authority, to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith;
(iii) require Grantor to assemble the Collateral or any portion thereof at a place in Los Angeles County, California designated by Beneficiary and promptly to deliver such Collateral to Beneficiary or an agent or representative designated by it. Beneficiary, its agents and representatives, shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to enter upon any or all of the Grantor’s premises and property to exercise the Beneficiary's rights hereunder;
(iv) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral at public sale, with or without having the Collateral at the place of sale, and upon such terms and in such manner as Beneficiary may determine; and Beneficiary may be a purchaser at any such sale. Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have accepted any property other than cash in satisfaction of any Obligation unless Beneficiary shall make an express written election of said remedy under Uniform Commercial Code Section 9505 or other applicable law;
(v) pursuant to the provisions of Uniform Commercial Code Section 9501(4), proceed as to both the real and some or all of the personal property covered by the Deed of Trust in accordance with its rights and remedies in respect of said real property, in which event (i) the other provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code shall not apply with respect to any portion of the Collateral as to which Beneficiary makes an election so to proceed, and (ii) the sale of the Collateral in conjunction with and as one parcel with said real estate shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable manner of sale; or
(vi) proceed as to some or all of the Collateral separately from said real property, in which event the requirement of reasonable notice shall be met by mailing notice of the sale, postage prepaid, to Grantor or any other person entitled thereto at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral.
(d) Elect to sell by power of sale the Property which is the Land and the Improvements or which Beneficiary has elected to treat as the Land and the Improvements and, upon such election, such notice of Event of Default and election to sell shall be given 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, at the time and place specified in the notice of sale, Trustee shall sell such property, or any portion thereof specified by Beneficiary, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States. Trustee may, and upon request of Beneficiary shall, from time to time, postpone the sale by public announcement thereof at the time and place noticed therefor. If the Property consists of several lots, parcels or interests, Beneficiary may designate the order in which the same shall be offered for sale or sold. Grantor waives all rights to direct the order in which any of the Property will be sold in the event of any sale under this Deed of Trust, and also
38
any of right to have any of the Property marshalled upon any sale. In the case of a sale under this Deed of Trust, the said property, real, personal and mixed, may be sold in one parcel or more than one parcel. Should Beneficiary desire that more than one such sale or other disposition be conducted, Beneficiary may, at its option, cause the same to be conducted simultaneously, or successively on the same day, or at such different days or times and in such order as Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interest. Any person, including Grantor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at the sale. Upon any sale, Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, whereupon such purchaser or purchasers shall be let into immediate possession. Beneficiary, from time to time before the trustee's sale pursuant to this section, may rescind any notice of breach or default and of election to cause to be sold the Property by executing and delivering to Trustee a written notice of such rescission, which notice, shall also constitute a cancellation of any prior declaration of default and demand for sale. The exercise by Beneficiary of such right of rescission shall not constitute a waiver of any breach or default then existing or subsequently occurring or impair the right of Beneficiary to execute and deliver to Trustee, as above provided, other declarations of default and demand for sale, and notices of breach or default, nor otherwise affect any provision, covenant or condition of the Note and/or of this Deed of Trust or any of the rights, obligations or remedies of the parties thereunder or hereunder;
(e) In accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, Beneficiary may waive its lien against the Property or any portion thereof, together with fixtures or personal property thereon, to the extent such property is found to be environmentally impaired, and may exercise any and all rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor against Grantor and all of Grantor’s assets and property for the recovery of any deficiency, including, without limitation, seeking an attachment order under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 483.010. No such waiver shall be final or binding on Beneficiary unless and until a final money judgment is obtained against Grantor. As between Beneficiary and Grantor, for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, Grantor shall have the burden of proving that the release or threatened release was not knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to, or knowingly or willfully permitted or acquiesced to by Grantor or any related party (or any affiliate or agent of Grantor or any related party) and that Grantor made written disclosure of the release to Beneficiary or that Beneficiary otherwise obtained actual knowledge thereof prior to the making of the loan evidenced by the Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents, Grantor shall be fully and personally liable for all judgments and awards entered against Grantor pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure 726.5 and such liability shall be an exception to any non-recourse or exculpatory provision in the Note, the Guaranty or the other Loan Documents and shall not be limited to the original principal amount of the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust. Grantor’s obligations under this subparagraph (e) shall survive the foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, release, reconveyance or any other transfer of the Property or this Deed of Trust. For the purpose of any action brought under this Section, Grantor hereby waives the defense of laches and any applicable statute of limitations. For purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure 726.5, the acts, knowledge and notice of each “726.5 Party” shall be attributed to and be deemed to have been performed by the party or parties then obligated on and liable for payment of the Note. As used herein, “726.5 Party” shall mean Grantor, any successor
39
owner to Grantor of all or any portion of the Property, any related party of Grantor or any such successor and any affiliate or agent of Grantor, any such successor or any such related party.
(f) In accordance with, and subject to limitations of, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736, Beneficiary may seek a judgment that Grantor has breached its covenants, representations and/or warranties with respect to the environmental matters contained in this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents (the “Environmental Provisions”), and may commence and maintain an action or actions in any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of the Environmental Provisions and/or recovery of any all costs, damages, expenses, fees, penalties, fines, judgments, indemnification payments to third parties, and other out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including, without limitation, court costs, consultants’ fees and attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in litigation or not and whether before or after judgment), incurred or advanced by Beneficiary pursuant to the Environmental Provisions (collectively, the “Environmental Costs”), excluding, however, any Environmental Costs not permitted to be recovered pursuant to Section 736 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Environmental Costs that are not permitted to be recovered pursuant to Section 736 may be referred to hereinafter as the “Unsecured Environmental Costs,” and Environmental Costs other than the Unsecured Environmental Costs may be referred to hereinafter as the “Secured Environmental Costs.” Any Unsecured Environmental Costs shall not be secured by this Deed of Trust; however, nothing herein shall prevent Beneficiary from recovering any Unsecured Environmental Costs pursuant to the unsecured Hazardous Substances Indemnification Agreement of even date herewith by Grantor and Principals in favor of Beneficiary (“Indemnity Agreement”), to the extent they are recoverable in accordance with said Indemnity Agreement. All Secured Environmental Costs incurred by Beneficiary shall bear interest at the default rate provided under the Note. All Secured Environmental Costs together with interest thereon at the rate then in effect under the Note shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall enjoy the same priority as the original principal amount of the Note. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any term or provision contained in this Deed of Trust or in the other Loan Documents, Environmental Costs shall be exceptions to any nonrecourse or exculpatory provision, if any, and Grantor shall be fully and personally liable for Environmental Costs. Such liability shall not be limited to the original principal amount of the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust. Grantor’s obligations under this subparagraph (f) shall survive foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, release, reconveyance or any other transfer of the Property or this Deed of Trust. For the purposes of any action brought under this subparagraph, Grantor hereby waives the defense of laches and any applicable statute of limitations.
(g) Upon any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this section, whether made under the power of sale or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof. In lieu of paying cash for the Property, Beneficiary may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the Obligations the sales price of the Property, as adjusted for the expenses of sale and the costs of the action and any other sums for which Grantor is obligated to reimburse Trustee or Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust;
40
(h) In the event that Grantor has an equity of redemption and the Property is sold pursuant to the power of sale or otherwise under or by virtue of this section, the purchaser may, during any redemption period allowed, make such repairs or alterations on said property as may be reasonably necessary for the proper operation, care, preservation, protection and insuring thereof. Any sums so paid together with interest thereon from the time of such expenditures at the Default Rate (if not prohibited by law, otherwise at the highest lawful contract rate) shall be added to and become a part of the amount required to be paid for redemption from such sale;
(i) At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may commence and maintain an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance of any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, and may obtain the aid and direction of the court in the performance of any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, and may obtain orders or decrees directing the execution of the same and, in case of any sale hereunder, directing, confirming or approving its or Trustee's acts and granting it such relief as may be warranted in the circumstances;
(j) To exercise such other rights as Trustee or Beneficiary may have with respect to the Collateral or otherwise at law or in equity or pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents.

Beneficiary and/or any servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Clearing Account and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Clearing Account shall be paid by Grantor. In addition, Grantor shall obtain from Clearing Bank its agreement to transfer to the Cash Management Account (defined below) in immediately available funds by federal wire transfer all amounts on deposit in the Clearing Account once every Business Day.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Beneficiary, apply any sums then present in the Clearing Account to the payment of the Indebtedness in such order and priority as Beneficiary shall determine.
Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way
51
connected with the Clearing Account (unless arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary) or the performance of the obligations for which the Clearing Account was established.
52. Cash Management Account. Simultaneously herewith, Grantor and Beneficiary shall enter into a Cash Management Agreement (“Cash Management Agreement”) with LaSalle Bank National Association, as “Agent”. Grantor shall establish and maintain a segregated Eligible Account (the “Cash Management Account”) to be held by Agent in trust and for the benefit of Beneficiary, which Cash Management Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Beneficiary. The Cash Management Account shall be entitled “Maguire Macquarie - Cerritos I, LLC, as Grantor and LaSalle Bank National Association, as Beneficiary, pursuant to Leasehold Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated as of January __, 2006 - Cash Management Account”. All monies now or hereafter deposited into the Cash Management Account shall be deemed additional security for the Indebtedness. Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary a first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Beneficiary a perfected first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account. In addition, Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to prepare and file UCC Financing Statements and continuations thereof. Grantor will not in any way alter or modify the Cash Management Account and will notify Beneficiary of the account number thereof. Grantor shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Cash Management Account or the monies deposited therein, or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Beneficiary as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
On each date that a payment is due Beneficiary under the Loan Documents (a “Payment Date”) (or, if such Payment Date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) all funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall be applied by Beneficiary as provided in the Cash Management Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Cash Management Agreement, Beneficiary and/or any servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account shall be paid by Grantor.
The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Grantor from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Beneficiary, apply any sums then present in the Cash Management Account to the payment of the Indebtedness in such order and priority as Beneficiary shall determine.
Grantor hereby agrees that Beneficiary may modify the Cash Management Agreement for the purpose of establishing additional sub-accounts in connection with any payments otherwise required under this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and Beneficiary shall provide notice thereof to Grantor.
52
Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Cash Management Account (unless arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary) or the performance of the obligations for which the Cash Management Account was established.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, during a Cash Management Period (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), Grantor’s obligations with respect to the payment of the monthly debt service payment required under the Note and amounts due hereunder for escrows for taxes, ground rents, insurance, Replacement Reserves, TI and Leasing Reserves, Cingular Reserves and any other payment reserves established pursuant to this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account established pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Beneficiary.
53. No Offset. Under no circumstances shall Grantor fail or delay to perform (or resist the enforcement of) any of its obligations in connection with this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents because of any alleged offsetting claim or cause of action against Beneficiary (or any indebtedness or obligation of Beneficiary) which has not been confirmed in a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (sustained on appeal, if any) against Beneficiary, and Grantor hereby waives any such rights of setoff (or offset) which it might otherwise have with respect to any such claims or causes of action against Beneficiary (or any such obligations or indebtedness of Beneficiary), unless and until such right of setoff is confirmed and liquidated by such a final judgment. Grantor further waives any right that it might otherwise have to require a marshalling of any security of Beneficiary or to direct the order in which Beneficiary pursues its rights or remedies with respect to any of its security.
54. Waivers. Grantor expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies which Grantor may have or be able to assert by reason of any laws pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties or any law pertaining to the marshalling of assets and any exemption from execution or sale of the Property or any part thereof. Further, Grantor shall not at any time claim, take or insist upon any benefit or advantage now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Land or the Improvements, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof, nor after any such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute to redeem the property so sold or any property thereof.
55. Continuation of Payments. Notwithstanding any taking by eminent domain or other governmental action causing injury to, or decrease in value of, the Property and creating a right to compensation therefor, Grantor shall continue to make the required payments of principal and interest on the Note and all other payments required by this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents. If, prior to the receipt by Beneficiary of such award or compensation, the Property shall have been sold in any action or proceeding to foreclose this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall have the right to receive said award or compensation to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale, with interest thereon, whether or not a deficiency judgment on this Deed of Trust shall
53
have been sought or recovered, together with reasonable counsel fees and the costs and disbursements incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the collection of such award or compensation.
56. Delivery of Recorded Mortgage. If California Civil Code Section 3110.5 is applicable to Grantor in connection with the Loan, as soon as practicable following recordation of this Deed of Trust Grantor shall deliver to any general contractor a copy of the recorded Deed of Trust, certified by the county recorder and shall otherwise fully comply with said Section 3110.5.
57. Request for Notice. Grantor hereby requests that any notice of default and any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to it at the address set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Deed of Trust. In accordance with Section 2924b, Civil Code, Grantor hereby requests that a copy of any notice of default and a copy of any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to The Cerritos Redevelopment Agency and the City of Cerritos, Civic Center, Bloomfield Avenue at 183rd Street, Cerritos, California 90703, Attn: City Manager.
