(1) Beneficiary shall consent to the application of such payments to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property so damaged if and only if Trustor fulfills all of the following conditions (a breach of any one of which shall constitute an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust and shall entitle Beneficiary to exercise all rights and remedies Beneficiary may have in such event): (a) that no default or Event of Default is then outstanding under this Deed of Trust, the Note, or any Related Agreement; (b) that Trustor is not in default under any of the terms, covenants and conditions of any of the Leases (hereinafter defined); (c) that the Leases shall continue in full force and effect; (d) that Trustor has in force rental continuation and business interruption insurance covering the Mortgaged Property for the longer of twelve (12) months or the time Beneficiary reasonably estimates will be necessary to complete such restoration and rebuilding; (e) Beneficiary is satisfied that during the period from the time of damage or taking until restoration and rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property is completed (the Gap Period) Trustors net income from (1) all leases, subleases, licenses and other occupancy agreements affecting the Mortgaged Property (the Leases) which may continue without abatement of rent during such Gap Period, plus (2) all Leases in effect during the Gap Period without abatement of rent which Trustor may obtain in substitution for any of the same which did not continue during such Gap Period, plus (3) the proceeds of rental continuation and business interruption insurance, is sufficient to satisfy Trustors obligations under this Deed of Trust as they come due; (f) Beneficiary is satisfied that the insurance or award proceeds shall be sufficient to fully restore and rebuild the Mortgaged Property free and clear of all liens except the lien of this Deed of Trust, or, in the event that such proceeds are in Beneficiarys sole judgment insufficient to restore and rebuild the Mortgaged Property, then Trustor shall deposit promptly with Beneficiary funds which, together with the insurance or award proceeds, shall be sufficient in Beneficiarys sole judgment to restore and rebuild the Mortgaged Property; (g) construction and completion of restoration and rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property shall be completed in accordance with plans and specifications and drawings submitted to and approved by Beneficiary, which plans, specifications and drawings shall not be substantially modified, changed or revised without the Beneficiarys prior written consent; (h) Beneficiary shall also have approved all prime and subcontractors, and the general contract or contracts the Trustor proposes to enter into with respect to the restoration and rebuilding; and (i) any and all monies which are made available for restoration and rebuilding hereunder shall be disbursed through Beneficiary, the Trustee or a title insurance and trust company satisfactory to Beneficiary, in accord with standard construction lending practice, including, if requested by Beneficiary, monthly lien waivers and title insurance datedowns, and the provision of payment and performance bonds by Trustor, or in any other manner approved by Beneficiary in Beneficiarys sole discretion; or
5
(2) If less than all of conditions (a) through (i) in subsection (1) above are satisfied, then such payments shall be applied in the sole and absolute discretion of Beneficiary (a) to the payment or prepayment with any applicable prepayment premium of any indebtedness secured hereby in such order as Beneficiary may determine, or (b) to the reimbursement of Trustors expenses incurred in the rebuilding and restoration of the Mortgaged Property. In the event Beneficiary elects under this subsection (2) to make any monies available to restore the Mortgaged Property, then all of conditions (a) through (i) in subsection (1) above shall apply, except such conditions which Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may waive.
(c) If any material part of the Mortgaged Property is damaged or destroyed and the loss is not adequately covered by insurance proceeds collected or in the process of collection, Trustor shall deposit, within ten (10) days of the Beneficiarys request therefor, the amount of the loss not so covered.
(d) All compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, rights of action and payments which Trustor may receive or to which Trustor may become entitled with respect to the Mortgaged Property in the event of a total condemnation or other total taking of the Mortgaged Property shall be paid over to Beneficiary and shall be applied first toward reimbursement of all costs and expenses of Beneficiary in connection with recovery of the same, and then shall be applied to the payment or prepayment with any applicable prepayment premium of any indebtedness secured hereby in such order as Beneficiary may determine, until the indebtedness secured hereby has been paid and satisfied in full. Any surplus remaining after payment and satisfaction of the indebtedness secured hereby shall be paid to Trustor as its interest may then appear.
(e) Any application of such amounts or any portion thereof to any indebtedness secured hereby shall not be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such default or notice.

1.04 Taxes, Liens and Other Items.
Trustor shall pay at least ten days before delinquency, all taxes, bonds, assessments, special assessments, common area charges, fees, liens, charges, fines, penalties, impositions and any and all other items which are attributable to or affect the Mortgaged Property and which may attain a priority over this Deed of Trust by making payment prior to delinquency directly to the payee thereof, unless Trustor shall be required to make payment to Beneficiary on account of such items pursuant to Section 1.05 hereof. Prior to the delinquency of any such taxes or other items, Trustor shall furnish Beneficiary with receipts indicating such taxes and other items have been paid. Trustor shall promptly discharge any lien which has attained or may attain priority over this Deed of Trust. In the event of the passage after the date of this Deed of Trust of any law deducting from the value of real property for the purposes of taxation any lien thereon, or changing in any way the laws for the taxation of deeds of trust or debts secured by deeds of trust for state, federal or any other purposes, or the manner of the collection of any such taxes, so as to affect this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary and holder of the debt which it secures shall have the right to declare the principal sum and the interest due on a date to be specified by not less than thirty (30) days written notice to be given to Trustor by Beneficiary; provided, however, that such election shall be ineffective if Trustor is permitted by law to pay the whole of such tax in addition to all other payments required hereunder and if, prior to such specified date, does pay such taxes and agrees to pay any such tax when hereafter levied or assessed against the Mortgaged Property, and such agreement shall constitute a modification of this Deed of Trust.
1.05 Funds for Taxes and Insurance.
If an Event of Default has occurred under this Deed of Trust or under any of the Related Agreements, regardless of whether the same has been cured, then thereafter at any time Beneficiary may, at its option to be exercised upon thirty (30) days written notice to Trustor, require the deposit with Beneficiary or its designee by Trustor, at the time of each payment of an installment of interest or principal under the Note, of an additional amount sufficient to discharge the obligations of Trustor under Sections 1.02 and 1.04 hereof as and when they become due. The determination of the amount payable and of the fractional part thereof to be deposited with Beneficiary shall be made by Beneficiary in its sole discretion. These amounts shall be held by Beneficiary or its designee not in trust and not as agent of Trustor and shall not bear interest, and shall be applied to the payment of the obligations in such order or priority as Beneficiary shall determine. If at any time within thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any of the aforementioned obligations the amounts then on deposit therefor shall be insufficient for the payment of such obligation in full, Trustor shall within ten (10) days after demand deposit the amount of the deficiency with Beneficiary. If the amounts deposited are in excess of the actual obligations for which they were deposited, Beneficiary may refund any such excess, or, at its option, may hold the same in a reserve account, not in trust and not bearing interest, and reduce proportionately the required monthly deposits for the ensuing year. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Beneficiary under any other provision of this Deed of Trust or under any statute or rule of law to pay any such amount and to add the amount so paid to the indebtedness hereby secured.
7
All amounts so deposited shall be held by Beneficiary or its designee as additional security for the sums secured by this Deed of Trust and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder Beneficiary may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security hereunder, apply such amounts or any portion thereof to any part of the indebtedness secured hereby. Any such application of said amounts or any portion thereof to any indebtedness secured hereby shall not be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder.
If Beneficiary requires deposits to be made pursuant to this Section 1.05, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary all tax bills, bond and assessment statements, statements of insurance premiums, and statements for any other obligations referred to above as soon as such documents are received by Trustor.
If Beneficiary sells or assigns this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall have the right to transfer all amounts deposited under this Section 1.05 to the purchaser or assignee, and Beneficiary shall thereupon be released and have no further liability hereunder for the application of such deposits, and Trustor shall look solely to such purchaser or assignee for such application and for all responsibility relating to such deposits.
1.06 Assignment of Rents and Profits.
(a) All of Trustors interest in any Leases or other occupancy agreements pertaining to the Mortgaged Property now existing or hereafter entered into, and all of the rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income and other benefits of the Mortgaged Property arising from the use or enjoyment of all or any portion thereof or from any Lease or agreement pertaining to occupancy of any portion of the Mortgaged Property now existing or hereafter entered into whether now due, past due, or to become due, including all prepaid rents and security deposits, and including without limitation all present or future rights of Trustor in and to all operating revenues derived from the operation of the Mortgaged Property (the Rents and Profits), are hereby absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigned, transferred and conveyed to Beneficiary to be applied by Beneficiary in payment of the principal and interest and all other sums payable on the Note, and of all other sums payable under this Deed of Trust subject to the rights of residential tenants under California Civil Code Section 1950.5(d). Prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default (hereinafter defined), Trustor shall have a license to collect and receive all Rents and Profits, which license shall be terminable at the sole option of Beneficiary, without regard to the adequacy of its security hereunder and without notice to or demand upon Trustor, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default. It is understood and agreed that neither the foregoing assignment of Rents and Profits to Beneficiary nor the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights or remedies under Article IV hereof shall be deemed to make Beneficiary a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof, unless and until Beneficiary, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession thereof. Nor shall appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property by any court at the request of Beneficiary or by agreement with Trustor, or the entering into possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof by such receiver, be deemed to make Beneficiary a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, this shall constitute a direction to and full authority to each lessee under any Lease and each guarantor of any Lease to pay all Rents and Profits to Beneficiary without proof of the default relied upon. Trustor hereby irrevocably authorizes each lessee and guarantor to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by Beneficiary for the payment to Beneficiary of any Rents and Profits due or to become due.
8
(b) Trustor shall apply the Rents and Profits to the payment of all necessary and reasonable operating costs and expenses of the Mortgaged Property, debt service on the indebtedness secured hereby, and a reasonable reserve for future expenses, repairs and replacements for the Mortgaged Property, before using the Rents and Profits for Trustors personal use or any other purpose not for the direct benefit of the Mortgaged Property.
(c) Trustor warrants as to each Lease now covering all or any part of the Mortgaged Property: (1) that each Lease is in full force and effect; (2) that no default exists on the part of the lessees or Trustor under Leases constituting more than 5%, in the aggregate, of all units in the Mortgaged Property; (3) that no rent has been collected more than one month in advance; (4) that no Lease or any interest therein has been previously assigned or pledged; (5) that no lessee under any Lease has any defense, setoff or counterclaim against Trustor; (6) that all rent due to date under each Lease has been collected and no concession has been granted to any lessee in the form of a waiver, release, reduction, discount or other alteration of rent due or to become due; and (7) that the interest of the lessee under each Lease is as lessee only, with no options to purchase or rights of first refusal. All the foregoing warranties shall be deemed to be reaffirmed and to continue until performance in full of the obligations under this Deed of Trust.
(d) Trustor shall at all times perform the obligations of lessor under all such Leases. Trustor shall not execute any further assignment of any of the Rents and Profits or any interest therein or suffer or permit any such assignment to occur by operation of law. Trustor shall at any time or from time to time, upon request of Beneficiary, transfer and assign to Beneficiary in such form as may be satisfactory to Beneficiary, Trustors interest in any Lease, subject to and upon the condition, however, that prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder Trustor shall have a license to collect and receive all Rents and Profits under such Lease upon accrual, but not prior thereto, as set forth in subsection (a) above. Whenever requested by Beneficiary, Trustor shall furnish to Beneficiary a certificate of Trustor setting forth the names of all lessees under any Leases, the terms of their respective Leases, the space occupied, the rents payable thereunder, and the dates through which any and all rents have been paid.
(e) Without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, Trustor shall not (1) accept prepayments of rent exceeding one month under any Leases of any part of the Mortgaged Property; (2) take any action under or with respect to any such Leases which would decrease the monetary obligations of the lessee thereunder or otherwise materially decrease the obligations of the lessee or the rights or remedies of the lessor, including, without limitation, any reduction in rent or granting of an option to renew for a term greater than one year; (3) modify or amend any such Leases or, except where the lessee is in default, cancel or terminate the same or accept a surrender of the leased premises, provided, however, that Trustor may renew, modify or amend Leases in the ordinary course of business so long as such actions do not decrease the monetary obligations of the lessee thereunder, or otherwise decrease the obligations of the lessee or the rights and remedies of the lessor; (4) consent to the assignment or subletting of the whole or any portion of the lessees interest under any Lease which has a term of more than five years; (5) create or permit any lien or encumbrance which, upon foreclosure, would be superior to any such Leases; or (6) in any other manner impair Beneficiarys rights and interest with respect to the Rents and Profits.
9
(f) Each Lease, or any part thereof, shall make provision for the attornment of the lessee thereunder to any person succeeding to the interest of Trustor as the result of any foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure hereunder, said provision to be in form and substance approved by Beneficiary. If any Lease provides for the abatement of rent during repair of the demised premises by reason of fire or other casualty, Trustor shall furnish rental insurance to Beneficiary, the policies to be in amount and form and written by such companies as shall be satisfactory to Beneficiary. Each Lease shall remain in full force and effect despite any merger of the interest of Trustor and any lessee thereunder.
(g) Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the creditor of each lessee in respect of any assignments for the benefit of creditors and any bankruptcy, arrangement, reorganization, insolvency, dissolution, receivership or other debtor-relief proceedings affecting such lessee (without obligation on the part of Beneficiary, however, to file timely claims in such proceedings or otherwise pursue creditors rights therein). Beneficiary shall have the right to assign Trustors right, title and interest in any Leases to any subsequent holder of this Deed of Trust or any participating interest therein or to any person acquiring title to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property through foreclosure or otherwise. Any subsequent assignee shall have all the rights and powers herein provided to Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall have the authority, as Trustors attorney-in-fact, such authority being coupled with an interest and irrevocable, to sign the name of Trustor and to bind Trustor on all papers and documents relating to the operation, leasing and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property.
1.07 Security Agreement.
This Deed of Trust is intended to be a security agreement pursuant to the California Uniform Commercial Code for (a) any and all items of personal property specified above as part of the Mortgaged Property which, under applicable law, may be subject to a security interest pursuant to the California Uniform Commercial Code and which are not herein effectively made part of the real property, and (b) any and all items of property specified above as part of the Mortgaged Property which, under applicable law, constitute fixtures and may be subject to a security interest under Section 9334 of the California Uniform Commercial Code; and Trustor hereby grants Beneficiary a security interest in said property, all of which is referred to herein as Personal Property, and in all additions thereto, substitutions therefor and proceeds thereof, for the purpose of securing all indebtedness and other obligations of Trustor now or hereafter secured by this Deed of Trust, which shall be a paramount and superior lien on all such Personal Property at all times. Trustor agrees to execute and deliver financing and continuation statements covering the Personal Property from time to time and in such form as Beneficiary may require to perfect and continue the perfection of Beneficiarys lien or security interest with respect to said property. Trustor shall pay all costs of filing such statements and renewals and releases thereof and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements Beneficiary may reasonably require. Upon the occurrence of any default of Trustor hereunder, Beneficiary shall have the rights and remedies of a secured party under California Uniform Commercial Code, including, Section 9604 thereof, as well as all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, and, at Beneficiarys option, Beneficiary may also invoke the remedies provided in Article IV of this Deed of Trust as to such property.

1.08 Acceleration.
(a) Trustor acknowledges that in making the loan evidenced by the Note and this Deed of Trust (the Loan), Beneficiary has relied upon: (1) Trustors credit rating; (2) Trustors financial stability; and (3) Trustors experience in owning and operating real property comparable to the Mortgaged Property. Without limiting the obligations of Trustor or the rights and remedies of Beneficiary, Beneficiary shall have the right, at its option, to declare any indebtedness and obligations under the Note and this Deed of Trust, irrespective of the maturity date specified therein, due and payable in full if: (1) Trustor or any one or more of the tenants-in-common, joint tenants, or other persons comprising Trustor sells, enters into a contract of sale, conveys, alienates or encumbers the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof or any fractional undivided interest therein, or suffers Trustors title or any interest therein to be divested or encumbered, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or leases with an option to sell, or changes or permits to be changed the character or use of the Mortgaged Property, or drills or extracts or enters into a lease for the drilling for or extracting of oil, gas or other hydrocarbon substances or any mineral of any kind or character on the Mortgaged Property; (2) The interest of any general partner of Trustor (or the interest of any general partner in a partnership that is a partner) is assigned or transferred; (3) If Trustor is a corporation or a partnership, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the corporate stock of Trustor (or of any corporate partner or other corporation comprising Trustor) is sold, transferred or assigned; (4) There is a change in beneficial ownership with respect to more than twenty-five percent (25%) of Trustor (if Trustor is a partnership, limited liability company, trust or other legal entity) or of any partner or tenant-in-common of Trustor which is a partnership, limited liability company, trust or other legal entity; (5) a default has occurred hereunder or under any document executed in connection with this Deed of Trust and is continuing. In such case, Beneficiary or other holder of the Note may exercise any and all of the rights and remedies and recourses set forth in Article IV herein, and as granted by law.
(b) In order to allow Beneficiary to determine whether enforcement of the foregoing provisions is desirable, Trustor agrees to notify Beneficiary promptly in writing of any transaction or event described in Clauses 1.08(a) above. In addition to other damages and costs resulting from the breach by Trustor of its obligations under this subsection (b), Trustor acknowledges that failure to give such notice may damage Beneficiary in an amount equal to not less than the difference between the interest payable on the indebtedness specified herein, and the interest and loan fees which Beneficiary could obtain on said sum on the date that the event of acceleration occurred and was enforceable by Beneficiary under applicable law. Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary all damages Beneficiary sustains by reason of the breach of the covenant of notice set forth in this subsection (b) and the amount thereof shall be added to the principal of the Note and shall bear interest and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.

18
4.02 Entry.
Irrespective of whether Beneficiary exercises the option provided in Section 4.01 above, Beneficiary in person or by agent or by court-appointed receiver may enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and do all things necessary or appropriate in Beneficiarys sole discretion in connection therewith, including, without limitation, making and enforcing, and if the same be subject to modification or cancellation, modifying or canceling Leases upon such terms or conditions as Beneficiary deems proper, obtaining and evicting tenants, and fixing or modifying rents, contracting for and making repairs and alterations, and doing any and all other acts which Beneficiary deems proper to protect the security hereof; and either with or without so taking possession, in its own name or in the name of Trustor, sue for or otherwise collect and receive the 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, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine. Upon request of Beneficiary, Trustor shall assemble and make available to Beneficiary at the site of the real property covered hereby any of the Mortgaged Property which has been removed therefrom. The entering upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and the collection of any Rents and Profits and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure or waive any default theretofore or thereafter occurring or affect any notice or default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such default or notice, and, notwithstanding continuance in possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof by Beneficiary, Trustor or a receiver, and the collection, receipt and application of the Rents and Profits, Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Deed of Trust or by law or in equity upon or after the occurrence of a default, including, without limitation, the right to exercise the power of sale. Any of the actions referred to in this Section 4.02 may be taken by Beneficiary irrespective of whether any notice of default or election to sell has been given hereunder and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the indebtedness hereby secured.
4.03 Judicial Action.
Beneficiary may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this instrument or to enforce any of the covenants and agreements hereof.
19
4.04 Power of Sale.
Beneficiary may elect to cause the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof to be sold under the power of sale herein granted in any manner permitted by applicable law. In connection with any sale or sales hereunder, Beneficiary may elect to treat any of the Mortgaged Property which consists of a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the real property covered hereby or any improvements thereon without causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the sale of real property. Sales hereunder of any personal property only shall be conducted in any manner permitted by the California Uniform Commercial Code. Where the Mortgaged Property consists of real property and personal property located on or within the real property, Beneficiary may elect in its discretion to dispose of both the real and personal property together in one sale pursuant to real property law as permitted by Section 9-604 of the California Uniform Commercial Code. Should Beneficiary elect to sell the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, which is real property or which Beneficiary has elected to treat as real property as provided above, Beneficiary or Trustee shall give such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law. Thereafter, upon the expiration of such time and the giving of such notice of sale as may then be required by law, and without the necessity of any demand on Trustor, Trustee, at the time and place specified in the notice of sale, shall sell said real property or part thereof 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 any sale hereunder by public announcement thereof at the time and place noticed therefor. If the Mortgaged Property consists of several lots, parcels or items of property, Beneficiary may: (a) designate the order in which such lots, parcels or items shall be offered for sale or sold, or (b) elect to sell such lots, parcels or items through a single sale, or through two or more successive sales, or in any other manner Beneficiary deems in its best interest. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at any sale hereunder, and Beneficiary shall have the right to purchase at any sale hereunder by crediting upon the bid price the amount of all or any part of the indebtedness hereby secured. Should Beneficiary desire that more than one sale or other disposition of the Mortgaged Property 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 interests, and no such sale shall terminate or otherwise affect the lien of this Deed of Trust on any part of the Mortgaged Property not sold until all indebtedness secured hereby has been fully paid. In the event Beneficiary elects to dispose of the Mortgaged Property through more than one sale, Trustor agrees to pay the costs and expenses of each such sale and of any judicial proceedings wherein the same may be made, including reasonable compensation to Trustee and Beneficiary, their agents and counsel, and to pay all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Trustee in connection with such sale or sales, together with interest on all such advances made by Trustee at the lower of the rate set forth in the Note, or the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by Trustee. Upon any sale hereunder, 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; and the recitals in any such deed or deeds of facts, such as default, the giving of notice of default and notice of sale, and other facts affecting the regularity or validity of such sale or disposition, shall be conclusive proof of the truth of such facts and any such deed or deeds shall be conclusive against all persons as to such facts recited therein.
4.05 Environmental Default and Remedies.
In the event that any portion of the Mortgaged Property is determined to be environmentally impaired (as environmentally impaired is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an affected parcel (as affected parcel is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting Beneficiarys or Trustees rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may elect to exercise its right under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to (1) waive its lien on such environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Mortgaged Property and (2) exercise (i) the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against Trustor to judgment, and (ii) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of determining Beneficiarys right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a), Trustor shall be deemed to have willfully permitted or acquiesced in a release or threatened release of hazardous materials, within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of hazardous materials was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee, occupant or user of any portion of the Mortgaged Property and Trustor knew or should have known of the activity by such lessee, occupant or user which caused or contributed to the release or threatened release. All costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys fees, incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any action commenced under this Section 4.05, including any action required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree to which the Mortgaged Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the rate specified in Paragraph 2(b) of the Note, shall be added to the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be due and payable to Beneficiary upon its demand made at any time following the conclusion of such action.

21
4.07 Waiver of Marshaling.
Trustor, for itself and for all persons hereafter claiming through or under it or who may at any time hereafter become holders of liens junior to the lien of this Deed of Trust, hereby expressly waives and releases all rights to direct the order in which any of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant hereto and to have any of the Mortgaged Property and/or any other property now or hereafter constituting security for any of the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust marshaled upon any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or of any other security for any of said indebtedness.
4.08 Remedies Cumulative.
No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission of Trustee or Beneficiary to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Deed of Trust to Trustee or Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary. If there exists additional security for the performance of the obligations secured hereby, the holder of the Note, at its sole option, and without limiting or affecting any of its rights or remedies hereunder, may exercise any of the rights and remedies to which it may be entitled hereunder either concurrently with whatever rights and remedies it may have in connection with such other security or in such order as it may determine. Any application of any amounts or any portion thereof held by Beneficiary at any time as additional security hereunder, whether pursuant to Section 1.03 or Section 1.05 hereof or otherwise, to any indebtedness secured hereby shall not extend or postpone the due dates of any payments due from Trustor to Beneficiary hereunder or under the Note, any Future Advances or any of the Related Agreements, or change the amounts of any such payments or otherwise be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such default or notice.

5.04 Trustor Not Released.
Extension of the time for payment or modification of the terms of payment of any sums secured by this Deed of Trust granted by Beneficiary to any successor in interest of Trustor shall not operate to release, in any manner, the liability of the original Trustor. Beneficiary shall not be required to commence proceedings against such successor or refuse to extend time for payment or otherwise modify the terms of payment of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust by reason of any demand made by the original Trustor. Without affecting the liability of any person, including Trustor, for the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby, or the lien of this Deed of Trust on the remainder of the Mortgaged Property for the full amount of any such indebtedness and liability unpaid, Beneficiary and Trustee are respectively empowered as follows: Beneficiary may from time to time and without notice (a) release any person liable for the payment of any of the indebtedness, (b) extend the time or otherwise alter the terms of payment of any of the indebtedness, (c) accept additional real or personal property of any kind as security therefor, whether evidenced by deeds of trust, mortgages, security agreement or any other instruments of security, or (d) alter, substitute or release any property securing the indebtedness; Trustee may, at any time, and from time to time, upon the written request of Beneficiary, which Beneficiary may withhold in its sole discretion (1) consent to the making of any map or plat of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, (2) join in granting any easement or creating any restriction thereon, (3) join in any subordination or other agreement affecting this Deed of Trust or the lien or charge hereof, or (4) reconvey, without any warranty, all or part of the Mortgaged Property.
23
5.05 Inspection.
Beneficiary may at any reasonable time or times make or cause to be made entry upon and inspection of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in person or by agent.
5.06 Reconveyance.
Upon the payment in full of all sums secured by this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall request Trustee to reconvey the Mortgaged Property and shall surrender this Deed of Trust and all notes evidencing indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust to Trustee. Upon payment of its fees and any other sums owing to it under this Deed of Trust, Trustee shall reconvey the Mortgaged Property without warranty to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. Trustor shall pay all costs of recordation, if any. The recitals in such conveyance of any matters of facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as the person or persons legally entitled thereto. Five years after issuance of such full reconveyance, Trustee may destroy said notes and this Deed of Trust unless otherwise directed by Beneficiary.
5.07 Statute of Limitations.
The pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any and all obligations secured by this Deed of Trust is hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by law.
5.08 Interpretation.
Wherever used in this Deed of Trust, unless the context otherwise indicates a contrary intent, or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the word Trustor shall mean and include both Trustor and any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property, and the word Beneficiary shall mean and include not only the original Beneficiary hereunder but also any future owner and holder, including pledgees, of the Note secured hereby. In this Deed of Trust whenever the context so requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the neuter includes the feminine and/or masculine, and the singular number includes the plural and conversely. In this Deed of Trust, the use of the word including shall not be deemed to limit the generality of the term or clause to which it has reference, whether or not non-limiting language (such as without limitation, or but not limited to, or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to include any word which could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term or matter. The captions and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Deed of Trust are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret, define or limit the provisions of this Deed of Trust.
5.09 Consent; Delegation to Sub-Agents.
The granting or withholding of consent by Beneficiary to any transaction as required by the terms hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to require consent to future or successive transactions. Wherever a power of attorney is conferred upon Beneficiary hereunder, it is understood and agreed that such power is conferred with full power of substitution, and Beneficiary may elect in its sole discretion to exercise such power itself or to delegate such power, or any part thereof, to one or more sub-agents.
24
5.10 Successors and Assigns.
All of the grants, obligations, covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions herein shall run with the land and shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of, the heirs, administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Trustor and the successors in trust of Trustee and the endorsees, transferees, successors and assigns of Beneficiary. In the event Trustor is composed of more than one party, the obligations, covenants, agreements, and warranties contained herein as well as the obligations arising therefrom are and shall be joint and several as to each such party.
5.11 Governing Law.
The loan secured by this Deed of Trust is made pursuant to, and shall be construed and governed by, the laws of the State of California and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
5.12 Substitution of Trustee.
Beneficiary may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and appoint a successor trustee, and upon such appointment, all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon become vested in such successor. Such substitute trustee shall be appointed by written instrument duly recorded in the county or counties where the real property covered hereby is located, which appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary or in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
5.13 No Waiver.
No failure or delay by Beneficiary in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver, consent or approval of any kind by Beneficiary shall be effective unless contained in writing signed and delivered by Beneficiary. No notice to or demand on Trustor in any case shall entitle Trustor to any other notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, nor shall such notice or demand constitute a waiver of the rights of Beneficiary to any other or further actions.
5.14 Beneficiary Not Partner of Trustor; Trustor to Indemnify Beneficiary.
The exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights, privileges or remedies conferred hereunder or under the Note or any other Related Agreements or under applicable law, shall not be deemed to render Beneficiary a partner or a co-venturer with the Trustor or with any other person. Any and all of such actions will be exercised by Beneficiary solely in furtherance of its role as a secured lender advancing funds for use by the Trustor as provided in this Deed of Trust. Trustor shall indemnify Beneficiary against any claim by any third party for any injury, damage or liability of any kind arising out of any failure of Trustor to perform its obligations in this transaction, shall notify Beneficiary of any lawsuit based on such claim, and at Beneficiarys election, shall defend Beneficiary therein at Trustors own expense by counsel satisfactory to Beneficiary or shall pay the Beneficiarys cost and attorneys fees if Beneficiary chooses to defend itself on any such claim.
25
5.15 Time of Essence.
Time is declared to be of the essence in this Deed of Trust, the Note and any Related Agreements and of every part hereof and thereof.
5.16 Entire Agreement.
Once the Note, this Deed of Trust, and all of the other Related Agreements, if any, have been executed, all of the foregoing constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and none of the foregoing may be modified or amended in any manner other than by supplemental written agreement executed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that all written and oral representations of Trustor, and of any partner, principal or agent of Trustor, previously made to Beneficiary shall be deemed to have been made to induce Beneficiary to make the loan secured hereby and to enter into the transaction evidenced hereby and by the Note and the Related Agreements, and shall survive the execution hereof and the closing pursuant hereto. This Deed of Trust cannot be changed or modified except by written agreement signed by both Trustor and Beneficiary.
5.17 No Third Party Benefits.
This Deed of Trust, the Note and the other Related Agreements, if any, are made for the sole benefit of Trustor and Beneficiary and their successors and assigns, and convey no other legal interest to any party under or by reason of any of the foregoing. Whether or not Beneficiary elects to employ any or all of the rights, powers or remedies available to it under any of the foregoing, Beneficiary shall have no obligation or liability of any kind to any third party by reason of any of the foregoing or any of Beneficiarys actions or omissions pursuant thereto or otherwise in connection with this transaction.
