TO PROTECT THE SECURITY OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, GRANTOR COVENANTS AND AGREES:

Payment of Debt. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay the indebtedness hereby secured (the "Indebtedness") promptly and in full compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

Ownership. Grantor represents that it owns the Property and has good and lawful right to convey the same and that the Property is free and clear from any and all encumbrances whatsoever, except as appears in the title evidence accepted by Beneficiary. Grantor does hereby forever warrant and shall forever defend the title and possession thereof against the claims of any and all persons whomsoever.

Maintenance of Property and Compliance with Laws. Grantor agrees to keep the buildings and other improvements now or hereafter erected on the Land in good condition and repair; not to commit or suffer any waste; to comply with all laws, rules and regulations affecting the Property; and to permit Beneficiary to enter at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspection and of conducting, in a reasonable and proper manner, such tests as Beneficiary determines to be necessary in order to monitor Grantor's compliance with applicable laws and regulations regarding hazardous materials affecting the Property.

Tenants Using Chlorinated Solvents. Grantor agrees not to lease any of the Property, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, to (i) dry cleaning operations that perform dry cleaning on site with chlorinated solvents or (ii) any other tenants that use chlorinated solvents in the operation of their businesses.

Business Restriction Representation and Warranty. Grantor represents and warrants that each of Grantor, all persons and entities owning (directly or indirectly) an ownership interest in Grantor (other than owners of interests in a publicly traded entity), all guarantors of all or any portion of the Indebtedness, and all persons and entities executing any separate indemnity agreement in favor of Beneficiary in connection with the Indebtedness: (i) is not, and shall not become, a person or entity with whom Beneficiary is restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the Department of the Treasury (including, but not limited to, those named on OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including, but not limited to, the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action; (ii) is not, and shall not become, a person or entity with whom Beneficiary is restricted from doing business under the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 or the regulations or orders thereunder; and (iii) is not knowingly engaged in, and shall not knowingly engage in, any dealings or transaction or be otherwise associated with such persons or entities described in (i) or (ii) above.

Insurance. Grantor agrees to keep the Property insured for the protection of Beneficiary and Beneficiary's wholly owned subsidiaries and agents in such manner, in such amounts and in such companies as Beneficiary may from time to time approve, provided that said insurance and said amounts are required by other institutional lenders for properties similar to the Property, and to keep the policies therefor, properly endorsed, on deposit with Beneficiary, or at Beneficiary's option, to keep evidence of insurance acceptable to Beneficiary evidencing all insurance coverages required hereunder on deposit with Beneficiary, which evidence shall reflect at least thirty (30) days notice of cancellation to Beneficiary and shall list Beneficiary as the certificate holder or as a similar additional interest with Beneficiary's correct mailing address and the loan number assigned to the loan (340043); if Grantor requests Beneficiary to accept a different form of evidence, Beneficiary shall not unreasonably withhold its consent provided a copy of a standard mortgagee endorsement in favor of Beneficiary stating that the insurer shall provide at least thirty (30) days notice of cancellation to Beneficiary accompanies such evidence. Grantor shall furnish Beneficiary with renewals of all applicable insurance evidence no later than the actual insurance expiration date.

If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Grantor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Beneficiary. Following the occurrence of a casualty, Grantor, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the improvements on the Property to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable law. All insurance loss proceeds from all property insurance policies, whether or not required by Beneficiary (less expenses of collection) shall, at Beneficiary's option, be applied on the Indebtedness, (without a prepayment fee) whether due or not, or to the restoration of the Property, or be released to Grantor, but such application or release shall not cure or waive any default under any of the Loan Documents. If Beneficiary elects to apply the insurance loss proceeds on the Indebtedness, no prepayment fee shall be due thereon.

COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE NOTICE. TEXAS FINANCE CODE SECTION 307.052 COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE NOTICE: (A) GRANTOR IS REQUIRED TO: (i) KEEP THE PROPERTY INSURED AGAINST DAMAGE IN THE AMOUNT BENEFICIARY SPECIFIES; (ii) PURCHASE THE INSURANCE FROM AN INSURER THAT IS AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS OR AN ELIGIBLE SURPLUS LINES INSURER; AND (iii) NAME BENEFICIARY AS THE PERSON TO BE PAID UNDER THE POLICY IN THE EVENT OF A LOSS; (B) GRANTOR MUST, IF REQUIRED BY BENEFICIARY, DELIVER TO BENEFICIARY A COPY OF THE POLICY AND PROOF OF THE PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS; AND (C) IF GRANTOR FAILS TO MEET ANY REQUIREMENT LISTED HEREIN, BENEFICIARY MAY OBTAIN COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE ON BEHALF OF GRANTOR AT GRANTOR’S EXPENSE.

Notwithstanding the first paragraph of this provision entitled "Insurance", Beneficiary agrees that if the insurance loss proceeds are less than the unpaid principal balance of the Note and if the casualty occurs prior to the last two (2) years of the term of the Note, then the insurance loss proceeds (less expenses of collection) shall be applied to restoration of the Property to its condition prior to the casualty, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a)

There is no existing Event of Default at the time of casualty.

(b)

The casualty insurer has not denied liability for payment of insurance loss proceeds to Grantor as a result of any act, neglect, use or occupancy of the Property by Grantor or any tenant of the Property.

(c)

Beneficiary shall be satisfied that all insurance loss proceeds so held, together with supplemental funds to be made available by Grantor, shall be sufficient to complete the restoration of the Property. Any remaining insurance loss proceeds may, at the option of Beneficiary, be applied on the Indebtedness (without any prepayment fee), whether or not due, or be released to Grantor.

(d)

If required by Beneficiary, Beneficiary shall be furnished a satisfactory report addressed to Beneficiary from an environmental engineer or other qualified professional satisfactory to Beneficiary to the effect that no adverse environmental impact to the Property resulted from the casualty.

(e)

Beneficiary shall release casualty insurance proceeds as restoration of the Property progresses provided that Beneficiary is furnished reasonably satisfactory evidence of the costs of restoration and if, at the time of such release, there shall exist no Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined) under the Loan Documents and no Non-Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined) with respect to which Beneficiary shall have given Grantor notice pursuant to the "Notice of Default" provision herein. If a Monetary Default shall occur or Beneficiary shall give Grantor notice of a Non-Monetary Default, Beneficiary shall have no further obligation to release insurance loss proceeds hereunder unless such default is cured within the cure period set forth in the "Notice of Default" provision contained herein. If the estimated cost of restoration exceeds $250,000.00, (i) the drawings and specifications for the restoration shall be approved by Beneficiary in writing prior to commencement of the restoration, and (ii) Beneficiary shall receive an administration fee equal to the lesser of $50,000.00 or one percent (1%) of the cost of restoration.

(f)

Prior to each release of funds, Grantor shall obtain for the benefit of Beneficiary an endorsement to Beneficiary's title insurance policy insuring Beneficiary's lien as a first and valid lien on the Property subject only to liens and encumbrances theretofore approved by Beneficiary.

(g)

Grantor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary, including, but not limited to, reasonable outside legal fees, title insurance costs, third-party disbursement fees, third-party engineering reports and inspections deemed necessary by Beneficiary.

(h)

All reciprocal easement and operating agreements benefiting the Property, if any, shall remain in full force and effect between the parties thereto on and after restoration of the Property.

(i)

Beneficiary shall be satisfied that Projected Debt Service Coverage of at least 1.80 will be produced from the leasing of not more than 93% of the Property to tenants under Approved Leases (as hereinafter defined).

"Approved Leases" means leases to (i) existing tenants or (ii) approved new tenants with leases satisfactory to Beneficiary for terms of at least one year, to commence not later than thirty (30) days following completion of restoration.

"Projected Debt Service Coverage" means a number calculated by dividing Projected Operating Income Available for Debt Service for the first fiscal year following restoration of the Property by the debt service during the same fiscal year under all indebtedness secured by any portion of the Property. For purposes of the preceding sentence, "debt service" means the greater of (x) debt service due under all such indebtedness during the first fiscal year following completion of the restoration of the Property or (y) debt service that would be due and payable during such fiscal year if all such indebtedness were amortized over 30 years (whether or not amortization is actually required) and if interest on such indebtedness were due as it accrues at the face rate shown on the notes therefor (whether or not interest payments based on such face rates are required).

"Projected Operating Income Available for Debt Service" means projected gross annual rent from the Approved Leases for the first full fiscal year following completion of the restoration of the Property less:

(A)

The operating expenses of the Property for the last fiscal year preceding the casualty and

(B)

the following:

(i)

the amount, if any, by which actual gross income during such fiscal period exceeds that which would be earned from the rental of 93% of the gross leasable area in the Property;

(ii)

the amount, if any, by which the actual management fee is less than 3% of gross revenue during such fiscal period;

(iii)

the amount, if any, by which the actual real estate taxes are less than $830,155.00 per annum; and

(iv)

the amount, if any, by which total operating expenses, excluding management fees, real estate taxes and replacement reserves, are less than $1,054,104.00 per annum.

All projections referenced above shall be calculated in a manner satisfactory to Beneficiary.

Condemnation. Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary (i) any award and any other proceeds resulting from damage to, or the taking of, all or any portion of the Property, and (ii) the proceeds from any sale or transfer in lieu thereof (collectively, "Condemnation Proceeds") in connection with condemnation proceedings or the exercise of any power of eminent domain or the threat thereof (hereinafter, a "Taking"); the Condemnation Proceeds may, at Beneficiary's option, be applied on the Indebtedness, whether due or not, or be released to Grantor, but such application or release shall not cure or waive any default under any of the Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Condemnation Proceeds are less than the unpaid principal balance of the Note and such damage or Taking occurs prior to the last two years of the term of the Note, such Condemnation Proceeds (less expenses of collection) shall be applied to restoration of the Property to its condition prior to the Taking, provided that restoration or replacement of the improvements on the Land to their functional and economic utility prior to the Taking is possible and further subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a)

There is no existing Event of Default at the time of the Taking.

(b)

Beneficiary shall be satisfied that all Condemnation Proceeds, together with supplemental funds to be made available by Grantor, shall be sufficient to complete the restoration of the Property. Any remaining Condemnation Proceeds may, at the option of Beneficiary, be applied on the Indebtedness, whether or not due, or be released to Grantor.

(c)

(d)

Beneficiary shall release Condemnation Proceeds as restoration of the Property progresses provided that Beneficiary is furnished satisfactory evidence of the costs of restoration and if, at the time of such release, there shall exist no Monetary Default under the Loan Documents and no Non-Monetary Default under the Loan Documents with respect to which Beneficiary shall have given Grantor notice pursuant to the "Notice of Default" provision herein. If a Monetary Default shall occur or Beneficiary shall give Grantor notice of a Non-Monetary Default, Beneficiary shall have no further obligation to release Condemnation Proceeds hereunder unless such default is cured within the cure period set forth in the "Notice of Default" provision contained herein. If the estimated cost of restoration exceeds $250,000.00, (i) the drawings and specifications for the restoration shall be approved by Beneficiary in writing prior to commencement of the restoration, and (ii) Beneficiary shall receive an administration fee equal to the lesser of $50,000.00 or one percent (1%) of the cost of restoration.

(e)

(f)

(g)

All reciprocal easement and operating agreements benefiting the Property, if any, shall remain in full force and effect between the parties thereto on and after restoration of the Property.

(i)

Beneficiary shall be satisfied that Projected Debt Service Coverage of at least 1.80 will be produced from the leasing of not more than 93% of the Property to tenants under Approved Leases.

Taxes and Special Assessments. Grantor agrees to pay before delinquency all taxes and special assessments of any kind that have been or may be levied or assessed against the Property, this instrument, the Note or the Indebtedness, or upon the interest of Trustee or Beneficiary in the Property, this instrument, the Note or the Indebtedness, and to procure and deliver to Beneficiary within 30 days after Beneficiary shall have given a written request to Grantor, the official receipt of the proper officer showing timely payment of all such taxes and assessments; provided, however, that Grantor shall not be required to pay any such taxes or special assessments if the amount, applicability or validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and funds sufficient to satisfy the contested amount have been deposited in an escrow satisfactory to Beneficiary.

Personal Property. With respect to the Personal Property, Grantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) Except for the security interest granted hereby, Grantor is, and as to portions of the Personal Property to be acquired after the date hereof will be, the sole owner of the Personal Property, free from any lien, security interest, encumbrance or adverse claim thereon of any kind whatsoever, other than as set forth in the title insurance policy approved by Beneficiary. Grantor shall notify Beneficiary of, and shall indemnify and defend Beneficiary and the Personal Property against, all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the Personal Property or any part thereof or any interest therein.

(b) Except as otherwise provided above, Grantor shall not lease, sell, convey or in any manner transfer the Personal Property without the prior consent of Beneficiary.

(c) Grantor is a limited liability company formed and organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Until the Indebtedness is paid in full, Grantor (i) shall not change its legal name without providing Beneficiary with thirty (30) days prior written notice; (ii) shall not change its state of organization; and (iii) shall preserve its existence and shall not, in one transaction or a series of transactions, merge into or consolidate with any other entity.

(d) At the request of Beneficiary, Grantor shall join Beneficiary in executing one or more financing statements and continuations and amendments thereof pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in form reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, and Grantor shall pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing is deemed by Beneficiary to be necessary or desirable. Grantor shall also, at Grantor's expense, take any and all other action requested by Beneficiary to perfect Beneficiary's security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Personal Property, including, without limitation, exercising Grantor's best efforts to obtain any consents, agreements or acknowledgments required of third parties to perfect Beneficiary's security interest in Personal Property consisting of deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, investment property, and electronic chattel paper.

Other Liens. Grantor agrees to keep the Property and any Personal Property free from all other liens either prior or subsequent to the lien created by this instrument other than as set forth in the title insurance policy approved by Beneficiary. Except as set forth above, The (i) creation of any other lien on any portion of the Property or on any Personal Property, whether or not prior to the lien created hereby, (ii) assignment or pledge by Grantor of its revocable license to collect, use and enjoy rents and profits from the Property, or (iii) granting or permitting of a security interest in or other encumbrance on the direct or indirect ownership interests in Grantor, shall constitute a default under the terms of this instrument; except that upon written notice to Beneficiary, Grantor may lease equipment and may proceed to contest in good faith and by appropriate proceedings any mechanics liens, tax liens or judgment liens with respect to the Property or any Personal Property described herein, provided funds sufficient to satisfy the contested amount have been deposited in an escrow account satisfactory to Beneficiary.

Indemnification, Duty to Defend and Costs, Fees and Expenses. In addition to any other indemnities contained in the Loan Documents, Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, costs of title evidence and endorsements to Beneficiary's title insurance policy with respect to the Property and reasonable attorney fees and other costs of defense) of this trust which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Beneficiary, whether or not any legal proceeding is commenced with regard thereto, in connection with: (i) the enforcement of any of Beneficiary's or Trustee's rights or powers under the Loan Documents; (ii) the interpretation of any of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, (iii) the protection of Beneficiary's interest in the Property; or (iv) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or on any sidewalk, curb, parking area, space or street located adjacent thereto excluding Beneficiary's gross negligence or willful misconduct . If any claim or demand is made or asserted against Beneficiary by reason of any event as to which Grantor is obligated to indemnify or defend Beneficiary, then, upon demand by Beneficiary, Grantor, at Grantor's sole cost and expense, shall defend such claim, action or proceeding in Beneficiary's name, if necessary, by such attorneys as Beneficiary shall approve. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary may, in Beneficiary's sole discretion, engage its own attorneys to defend it or assist in its defense and Grantor shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such attorneys.

Failure of Grantor to Act. If Grantor fails to make any payment or do any act as herein provided, Beneficiary or Trustee may, without obligation to do so, without notice to or demand upon Grantor and without releasing Grantor from any obligation hereof: (i) make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Beneficiary may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to enter upon the Property for such purpose; (ii) appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; (iii) pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of Beneficiary appears to be prior or superior hereto; and (iv) in exercising any such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay its reasonable fees. Sums so expended and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses required to be reimbursed by Grantor to Beneficiary hereunder shall be payable by Grantor immediately upon demand with interest from date of expenditure or demand, as the case may be, at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note). All sums so expended or demanded by Beneficiary and the interest thereon shall be included in the Indebtedness and secured by the lien of this instrument.

Event of Default. Any default by Grantor in making any required payment of the Indebtedness or any default in any provision, covenant, agreement, warranty or certification contained in any of the Loan Documents shall, except as provided in the two immediately succeeding paragraphs, constitute an "Event of Default".

Notice of Default. A default in any payment required in the Note or any other Loan Document, whether or not payable to Beneficiary, (a "Monetary Default") shall not constitute an Event of Default unless Beneficiary shall have given a written notice of such Monetary Default to Grantor and Grantor shall not have cured such Monetary Default by payment of all amounts in default (including payment of interest at the Default Rate, as defined in the Note, from the date of default to the date of cure on amounts owed to Beneficiary) within five (5) business days after the date on which Beneficiary shall have given such notice to Grantor.

Any other default under the Note or under any other Loan Document (a "Non-Monetary Default") shall not constitute an Event of Default unless Beneficiary shall have given a written notice of such Non-Monetary Default to Grantor and Grantor shall not have cured such Non-Monetary Default within thirty (30) days after the date on which Beneficiary shall have given such notice of default to Grantor (or, if the Non-Monetary Default is not curable within such 30-day period, Grantor shall not have diligently undertaken and continued to pursue the curing of such Non-Monetary Default and deposited an amount sufficient to cure such Non-Monetary Default in an escrow account satisfactory to Beneficiary from which Grantor shall be permitted to draw amounts to pay for the costs of curing such Non-Monetary Default).

In no event shall the notice and cure period provisions recited above constitute a grace period for the purposes of commencing interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note).

Substitution of Trustee. Beneficiary and its successors and assigns may for any reason and at any time, without cause, appoint one or more persons to serve as substitute Trustee(s) by written appointment delivered to such substitute Trustee(s) without notice to Grantor, without notice to, or the resignation or withdrawal by, the existing Trustee and without recordation of such written appointment unless notice or recordation is required by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. Upon delivery of such appointment, the substitute Trustee(s) shall be vested with the same title and with the same powers and duties granted to the original Trustee.

Appointment of Receiver. Upon commencement of any proceeding to enforce any right under this instrument, including foreclosure thereof, Beneficiary (without limitation or restriction by any present or future law, without regard to the solvency or insolvency at that time of any party liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, without regard to the then value of the Property, whether or not there exists a threat of imminent harm, waste or loss to the Property and whether or not the same shall then be occupied by the owner of the equity of redemption as a homestead) shall have the absolute right to the appointment of a receiver of the Property and of the revenues, rents, profits and other income therefrom, and said receiver shall have (in addition to such other powers as the court making such appointment may confer) full power to collect all such income and, after paying all necessary expenses of such receivership and of operation, maintenance and repair of said Property, to apply the balance to the payment of any of the Indebtedness then due.

Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Indebtedness shall, at the option of Beneficiary, become immediately due and payable for all purposes without any further notice or demand, except as required by law (ALL OTHER NOTICE OF THE EXERCISE OF SUCH OPTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NOTICE OF INTENT TO ACCELERATE, BEING HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED), and Beneficiary may, in addition to exercising any rights it may have with respect to the Personal Property under the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located, institute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this instrument as a mortgage, or to enforce any of the covenants hereof, or Trustee or Beneficiary may (without limiting their rights under the foregoing provisions or otherwise), either personally or by agent or attorney in fact, enter upon and take possession of the Property and may manage, rent or lease the Property or any portion thereof upon such terms as Beneficiary may deem expedient, and collect, receive and receipt for all rentals and other income therefrom and apply the sums so received as hereinafter provided in case of sale under Trustee’s power of sale.

Trustee is hereby further authorized and empowered, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon request of Beneficiary, to sell the Property, en masse or in separate parcels (as Trustee may think best), at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, with or without having taken possession of same. Any such sale (including notice thereof) shall comply with the applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of any statute or statutes, if any, governing sales of real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. If, at the time of the sale, there is no statute in force in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located that governs sales of real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust, such sale shall comply with applicable law at the time of the sale. GRANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A HEARING PRIOR TO SUCH SALE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. At any time during the bidding, Trustee may require a bidding party (i) to disclose its full name, state and city of residence, occupation, and specific business office location, and the name and address of the principal the bidding party is representing (if applicable), and (ii) to demonstrate reasonable evidence of the bidding party's financial ability (or, if applicable, the financial ability of the principal of such bidding party), as a condition to the bidding party submitting bids at the foreclosure sale. If any such bidding party (the “Questioned Bidder”) declines to comply with the Trustee's requirement in this regard, or if such Questioned Bidder does respond but the Trustee, in Trustee's sole and absolute discretion, deems the information or the evidence of the financial ability of the Questioned Bidder (or, if applicable, the principal of such bidding party) to be inadequate, then the Trustee may continue the bidding with reservation; and in such event (A) the Trustee shall be authorized to caution the Questioned Bidder concerning the legal obligations to be incurred in submitting bids, and (B) if the Questioned Bidder is not the highest bidder at the sale, or if having been the highest bidder the Questioned Bidder fails to deliver the cash purchase price payment promptly to the Trustee, all bids by the Questioned Bidder shall be null and void. Trustee may, in Trustee's sole and absolute discretion, determine that a credit bid may be in the best interest of the Grantor and Beneficiary, and elect to sell the mortgaged Property for credit or for a combination of cash and credit; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to accept any bid except an all cash bid. In the event the Trustee requires a cash bid and cash is not delivered within a reasonable time after conclusion of the bidding process, as specified by the Trustee, but in no event later than 3:45 p.m. local time on the day of sale, then said contingent sale shall be null and void, the bidding process may be recommenced, and any subsequent bids or sale shall be made as if no prior bids were made or accepted. Upon any foreclosure sale or sales of all or any portion of the Property under the power of sale herein granted, Beneficiary may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Indebtedness as a credit to the purchase price.

After any sale under Trustee’s power of sale pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, Trustee shall make good and sufficient deeds, assignments, and other conveyances to the purchaser or purchasers thereunder in the name of Grantor, conveying the Property or any part thereof so sold to the purchaser or purchasers with general warranty of title by Grantor. The legal holder of the Indebtedness may purchase the Property or any part thereof, and it shall not be obligatory upon the purchasers at any such sale to see to the application of the purchase money. It is agreed that in any deeds, assignments or other conveyances given by Trustee, any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made as to any act or thing having been duly done by or on behalf of Beneficiary or by or on behalf of Trustee, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that such statements or recitals are true, correct, and complete facts. Trustee shall, out of the proceeds or avails of such sale, after first paying and retaining all fees, charges, costs of advertising the Property and of making said sale, and attorneys’ fees, pay to Beneficiary or the legal holder of the Indebtedness the amount thereof, including all sums advanced or expended by Beneficiary or the legal holder of the Indebtedness, with interest from date of advance or expenditure at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), rendering the excess, if any, as provided by law. Such sale or sales and said deed or deeds so made shall be a perpetual bar, both in law and equity, against Grantor and the heirs, successors and assigns of Grantor, and all other persons claiming the Property aforesaid, or any part thereof by, from, through or under Grantor.

In addition to the above remedies, it is agreed that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at its option, without demand or notice, request the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be, and is hereby authorized and empowered to proceed with foreclosure and sale of the Property by advertisement or in any manner provided by the laws of the state in which the Property is located in satisfaction of the item in default as if under a full foreclosure, but without declaring the unmatured portion of the Indebtedness due; such sale shall be made subject to the unmatured portion of the Indebtedness and it is agreed that such sale shall not in any manner affect the unmatured portion of the Indebtedness, but as to such unmatured portion, this instrument shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had been made under the provisions of this paragraph and it is further agreed that several sales may be made without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured portion of the Indebtedness or for any future breach of the covenants, conditions or stipulations set out herein.

Deficiency.

(A)

IN THE EVENT AN INTEREST IN ANY OF THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY IS FORECLOSED UPON PURSUANT TO A JUDICIAL OR NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE SALE, GRANTOR AGREES THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 51.003, 51.004, AND 51.005 OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY CODE (AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME), AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BENEFICIARY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO SEEK A DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT FROM GRANTOR EQUAL TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OF THE RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED IN THE NOTE) AND THE AMOUNT FOR WHICH THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY WERE SOLD PURSUANT TO JUDICIAL OR NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE SALE. IN THE EVENT THAT BENEFICIARY FIRST OBTAINS A JUDGMENT AGAINST GRANTOR AND ANY OTHER PARTY OBLIGATED ON THE NOTE AND THEN JUDICIALLY FORECLOSES, BENEFICIARY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ENFORCE THE JUDGMENT AGAINST GRANTOR OR SAID PARTY IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OWING ON THE JUDGMENT AND THE AMOUNT FOR WHICH THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY WERE SOLD PURSUANT TO A POST-JUDGMENT JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE SALE. GRANTOR EXPRESSLY RECOGNIZES THAT THIS SECTION CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF THE ABOVE-CITED PROVISIONS OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY CODE WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE PERMIT GRANTOR AND OTHER PERSONS AGAINST WHOM RECOVERY OF DEFICIENCIES IS SOUGHT OR ANY GUARANTOR INDEPENDENTLY (EVEN ABSENT THE INITIATION OF DEFICIENCY PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THEM) TO PRESENT COMPETENT EVIDENCE OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY AS OF THE DATE OF THE FORECLOSURE SALE AND OFFSET AGAINST ANY DEFICIENCY THE AMOUNT BY WHICH THE FORECLOSURE SALE PRICE IS DETERMINED TO BE LESS THAN SUCH FAIR MARKET VALUE. GRANTOR FURTHER RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT THIS WAIVER CREATES AN IRREBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION THAT THE FORECLOSURE SALE PRICE IS EQUAL TO THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING DEFICIENCIES OWED BY GRANTOR, ANY GUARANTOR, AND OTHERS AGAINST WHOM RECOVERY OF A DEFICIENCY IS SOUGHT.

(B)

ALTERNATIVELY, IN THE EVENT THE WAIVER PROVIDED FOR IN (A) ABOVE IS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THE FOLLOWING SHALL BE THE BASIS FOR THE FINDER OF FACT'S DETERMINATION OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY AS OF THE DATE OF THE FORECLOSURE SALE IN PROCEEDINGS GOVERNED BY SECTIONS 51.003, 51.004 AND 51.005 OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY CODE (AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME): (I) THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY SHALL BE VALUED IN AN "AS IS" CONDITION AS OF THE DATE OF THE FORECLOSURE SALE, WITHOUT ANY ASSUMPTION OR EXPECTATION THAT THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY WILL BE REPAIRED OR IMPROVED IN ANY MANNER BEFORE A RESALE OF THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY AFTER FORECLOSURE; (II) THE VALUATION SHALL BE BASED UPON AN ASSUMPTION THAT THE FORECLOSURE PURCHASER DESIRES A RESALE OF THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY FOR CASH PROMPTLY (BUT NO LATER THAN TWELVE (12) MONTHS) FOLLOWING THE FORECLOSURE SALE; (III) ALL REASONABLE CLOSING COSTS CUSTOMARILY BORNE BY THE SELLER IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS SHOULD BE DEDUCTED FROM THE GROSS FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS, TITLE INSURANCE, A SURVEY OF THE PROPERTY, TAX PRORATIONS, ATTORNEYS' FEES, AND MARKETING COSTS; (IV) THE GROSS FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY SHALL BE FURTHER DISCOUNTED TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY ESTIMATED HOLDING COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH MAINTAINING THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY PENDING SALE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, UTILITIES EXPENSES, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEES, TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS (TO THE EXTENT NOT ACCOUNTED FOR IN (III) ABOVE), AND OTHER MAINTENANCE, OPERATIONAL AND OWNERSHIP EXPENSES; AND (V) ANY EXPERT OPINION TESTIMONY GIVEN OR CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH A DETERMINATION OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY MUST BE GIVEN BY PERSONS HAVING AT LEAST FIVE (5) YEARS EXPERIENCE IN APPRAISING PROPERTY SIMILAR TO THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY AND WHO HAVE CONDUCTED AND PREPARED A COMPLETE WRITTEN APPRAISAL OF THE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACTORS SET FORTH ABOVE.

Appraisement, Stay and Redemption Laws. Grantor expressly waives and relinquishes the benefit of all laws now existing or that may hereafter be enacted providing for any appraisement before sale of any of the Property, commonly known as Appraisement Laws, and also the benefit of all laws that may hereafter be enacted in any way extending the time for the enforcement or the collection of the Indebtedness, or creating or extending a period for redemption from any sale made to collect the Indebtedness, commonly known as Stay Laws and Redemption Laws.

Prohibition on Transfer/One-Time Transfer. The present ownership and management of the Property is a material consideration to Beneficiary in making the loan secured by this instrument, and Grantor shall not (i) convey title to all or any part of the Property, (ii) enter into any contract to convey (land contract/installment sales contract/contract for deed) title to all or any part of the Property which gives a purchaser possession of, or income from, the Property prior to a transfer of title to all or any part of the Property ("Contract to Convey") or (iii) cause or permit a Change in the Proportionate Ownership (as hereinafter defined) of Grantor. Any such conveyance, entering into a Contract to Convey or Change in the Proportionate Ownership of Grantor shall constitute a default under the terms of this instrument.

"Change in the Proportionate Ownership" means a change in, or the existence of a lien on, the direct or indirect ownership interests of Grantor (except that transfers of interests in Principal or any other entity which is a direct or indirect owner of Grantor and the ownership interests of which are publicly traded shall not be considered a Change in the Proportionate Ownership).

Notwithstanding the above, provided there is then no default in the terms and conditions of any Loan Document, the Property is completed, and upon prior written request from Grantor, Beneficiary shall not withhold its consent to a one-time transfer of all but not less than all of the Property to a single entity or individual, provided:

(i)

the Property shall have achieved Debt Service Coverage (as hereinafter defined) of at least 1.80 for the last full fiscal year and there are no junior liens on the Property;

(ii)

the transferee or an owner of the transferee (the "Creditworthy Party") has a net worth, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, of at least $100,000,000.00 with cash and cash equivalents of at least $7,500,000.00 after funding the equity needed to close the purchase and a minimum overall real estate portfolio debt service coverage ratio of 1.40 for the prior twelve (12) month period. In the event that transferee shall satisfy the financial requirements set forth in this subsection (ii), all references to Creditworthy Party in subsections (iii) through (vi) hereafter shall be deemed deleted;

(iii)

the transferee or the Creditworthy Party or a management company under contract with transferee is experienced in the ownership and management of at least 1500 garden apartment units;

(iv)

the transferee, the Creditworthy Party and all persons and entities owning (directly or indirectly) an ownership interest in the transferee or the Creditworthy Party (other than owners of interests in a publicly traded entity) are not (and have never been) (a) subject to any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings or any criminal charges or proceedings, or (b) a litigant, plaintiff or defendant in any suit brought against or by Beneficiary;

(v)

pursuant to written documentation prepared by and satisfactory to Beneficiary, the transferee assumes all of the obligations and liabilities of Grantor under the Loan Documents, whether arising prior to or after the date of the transfer of the Property, and Beneficiary receives a satisfactory enforceability opinion with respect thereto from counsel approved by Beneficiary;

(vi)

the Creditworthy Party executes Beneficiary's form of Guarantee of Recourse Obligations as of the date hereof (incorporating the Recourse Obligations and Triggering Event definitions set forth and defined in the Guarantee of Recourse Obligations executed by Principal of even date herewith), the Creditworthy Party and the transferee execute Beneficiary's form of Environmental Indemnity Agreement as of the date hereof, and Beneficiary receives a satisfactory enforceability opinion with respect to the foregoing from counsel approved by Beneficiary;

(vii)

an environmental report on the Property which meets Beneficiary's then current requirements and is updated to no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the date of transfer, is provided to Beneficiary at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of transfer and the results of the report are satisfactory to Beneficiary at the time of transfer;

(viii)

Grantor and Principal (a) shall remain liable under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement dated of even date herewith, except for acts or occurrences after the date of transfer of the Property and (b) shall, except as provided in (a) above, be released from all obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents;

(ix)

Beneficiary receives an endorsement to its policy of title insurance, satisfactory to Beneficiary insuring Beneficiary's lien on the Property as a first and valid lien subject only to liens and encumbrances theretofore approved by Beneficiary;

(x)

pursuant to written documentation prepared by and satisfactory to Beneficiary, the transferee (a) acknowledges that, in furtherance and not in limitation of clause (v) above, it shall be bound by the representation and warranty contained in the covenant entitled "Business Restriction Representation and Warranty" set forth in this instrument, and (b) certifies that such representation and warranty is true and correct as of the date of transfer and shall remain true and correct at all times during the term of the Note; and

(xi)

the outstanding balance of the Note at the time of the transfer is not more than 50% of the gross purchase price of the Property at the time of the purchase of the Property by Grantor occurring on the date of the advance of the proceeds of the Note.

If Grantor shall make a one-time transfer pursuant to the above conditions, Beneficiary shall be paid a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the then outstanding balance of the Note at the time of transfer. The fee shall be paid on or before the closing date of such one-time transfer. At the time of such transfer, no modification of the interest rate or repayment terms of the Note will be required.

No subsequent transfers of the Property shall be allowed and no Change in the Proportionate Ownership of transferee shall be allowed without Beneficiary's prior written consent.

"Debt Service Coverage" means a number calculated by dividing Net Operating Income Available for Debt Service for a fiscal period by the debt service during the same fiscal period under all indebtedness (including the Indebtedness) secured by any portion of the Property. For purposes of the preceding sentence, "debt service" means the actual debt service due under all indebtedness secured by any portion of the Property based upon an amortization schedule which is the shorter of the actual amortization schedule or 30 years (whether or not amortization is actually required) and, if an accrual loan, as if interest and principal on such indebtedness were due monthly.

"Net Operating Income Available for Debt Service" means net income (prior to giving effect to any capital gains or losses and any extraordinary items) from the Property, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, for a fiscal period, plus (to the extent deducted in determining net income from the Property):

interest on indebtedness secured by any portion of the Property for such fiscal period;

depreciation, if any, of fixed assets at or constituting the Property for such fiscal period;

amortization of costs incurred in connection with any indebtedness secured by any portion of the Property and leasing commissions which have been prepaid;

less:

an amount (positive or negative) to offset any rent averaging adjustment resulting from adherence to FASB-13;

the amortization of free rent and any other tenant concessions and promotional items not deducted in the calculation of net income above;

the amount, if any, by which actual gross income during such fiscal period exceeds that which would be earned from the rental of 93% of the gross leasable area in the Property;

the amount, if any, by which the actual management fee is less than 3% of gross revenue during such fiscal period;

the amount, if any, by which the actual real estate taxes are less than $830,155.00 per annum; and

the amount, if any, by which total operating expenses, excluding management fees, real estate taxes and replacement reserves, are less than $1,054,104.00 per annum.

All adjustments to net income referenced above shall be calculated in a manner satisfactory to Beneficiary.

Financial Statements. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to furnish to Beneficiary:

(A) the following financial statements for the Property within 60 days after the close of each fiscal year of the Grantor (the "Property Financial Statements Due Date"):

(i)

an unaudited statement of operations for such fiscal year with a detailed line item break-down of all sources of income and expenses, including capital expenses broken down between, capital maintenance, common area renovation, and expansion; and

(ii)

a current rent roll identifying location, leased area, lease begin and end dates, current contract rent, rent increases and increase dates, expense reimbursements, and any other recovery items; and

(iii)

(B) the following financial statements that Beneficiary may, in Beneficiary's sole discretion, require from time to time within 20 days after receipt of a written request from Beneficiary (the "Requested Financial Statements Due Date")

(i)

(ii)

an unaudited balance sheet for Grantor as of the last day of Grantor's most recently closed fiscal year; and

(iii)

an unaudited balance sheet for Principal as of the last day of Principal's most recently closed fiscal year; and

(iv)

(vi)

an unaudited statement of cash flows for unaudited Principal as of the last day of Principal's most recently closed fiscal year.

Furthermore, Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary within 20 days after receipt of a written request (the "Additional Requested Financial Statements Due Date") from Beneficiary such reasonable financial and management information in the possession of, or accessible to, Grantor which Beneficiary reasonably determines to be useful in Beneficiary's monitoring of the value and condition of the Property, Grantor, or Principal.

The Property Financial Statements Due Date, the Requested Financial Statements Due Date, and the Additional Requested Financial Statements Due Date are each sometimes hereinafter referred to as a "Financial Statements Due Date".

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Financial Statements Due Date for a particular financial statement be prior to the 60^th day following the close of the fiscal year covered by such financial statement.

If audited by the election of Grantor or Principal, the financial statements identified in sections (A)(i), (A)(ii), and (B)(i) through (B)(vi) above, shall each be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by a certified public accountant satisfactory to Beneficiary. All unaudited statements shall contain a certification by a senior officer of the general partner of Grantor stating that they have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that they are true and correct. The expense of preparing all of the financial statements required in (A) and (B) above, shall be borne by Grantor.

Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary requires the financial statements and information required herein to record accurately the value of the Property for financial and regulatory reporting.

In addition to all other remedies available to Beneficiary hereunder, at law and in equity, if any financial statement, additional information or proof of payment of property taxes and assessments is not furnished to Beneficiary as required in this provision entitled "Financial Statements" and in the provision entitled "Taxes and Special Assessments", within 30 days after Beneficiary shall have given written notice to Grantor that it has not been received as required,

(x) interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Indebtedness shall as of the applicable Financial Statements Due Date or the date such additional information or proof of payment of property taxes and assessments was due, accrue and become payable at a rate equal to the sum of the Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) plus one percent (1%) per annum (the "Increased Rate"); and

(y) Beneficiary may elect to obtain an independent appraisal and audit of the Property at Grantor's expense, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it will, upon request, promptly make ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s books and records regarding the Property available to Beneficiary and the person(s) performing the appraisal and audit (which obligation Grantor agrees can be specifically enforced by Beneficiary).

The amount of the payments due under the Note during the time in which the Increased Rate shall be in effect shall be changed to an amount which is sufficient to reflect the Increased Rate. Interest shall continue to accrue and be due and payable monthly at the Increased Rate until the date (the "Receipt Date") on which all of the financial statements, additional information and proof of payment of property taxes and assessments shall be furnished to or made available to Beneficiary as required. Commencing on the Receipt Date, interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note shall again accrue at the Interest Rate and the payments due thereafter shall be changed to an amount which is sufficient to reflect the Interest Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary shall have the right to conduct an independent audit at its own expense at any time.

Compliance With Water Regulations. Grantor agrees to abide by all the statutes of the state in which the Property is located and the rules and regulations of any and all federal, state and local authority having jurisdiction over the use and distribution of water or water resources, and shall not transfer, sell, assign or relinquish the water rights now held or hereafter acquired covering the Property without the written consent of the Beneficiary.

Property Management. The management company for the Property shall be satisfactory to Beneficiary. Trade Street Property Management, LLC shall be deemed to be satisfactory to Beneficiary. Any change in the management company without the prior written consent of Beneficiary shall constitute a default under this instrument.

Deposits by Grantor. To assure the timely payment of real estate taxes and special assessments (including personal property taxes, if appropriate), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall thence forth have the option to require Grantor to deposit funds with Beneficiary, in monthly or other periodic installments in amounts estimated by Beneficiary from time to time sufficient to pay real estate taxes and special assessments as they become due. If at any time the funds so held by Beneficiary shall be insufficient to pay any of said expenses, Grantor shall, upon receipt of notice thereof, immediately deposit such additional funds as may be necessary to remove the deficiency. All funds so deposited shall be irrevocably appropriated to Beneficiary to be applied to the payment of such real estate taxes and special assessments and, at the option of Beneficiary after an Event of Default, the Indebtedness. Beneficiary may deduct from any amounts so held, any fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with holding such amounts and/or paying amounts to taxing authorities or other parties, including, without limitation any fees, costs or expenses associated with paying amounts via e-check or electronically.

Notices. Any notices, demands, requests and consents permitted or required hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing, may be delivered personally or sent by certified mail with postage prepaid or by reputable courier service with charges prepaid. Any notice or demand sent to Grantor by certified mail or reputable courier service shall be addressed to Grantor at c/o Trade Street Residential, Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, Attn: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, CFO, or such other address in the United States of America as Grantor shall designate in a notice to Beneficiary given in the manner described herein. Any notice sent to Beneficiary by certified mail or reputable courier service shall be addressed to The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company to the attention of the Real Estate Investment Department at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other addresses as Beneficiary shall designate in a notice given in the manner described herein. Any notice given to Beneficiary shall refer to the Loan No. set forth above. Any notice or demand hereunder shall be deemed given when received. Any notice or demand which is rejected, the acceptance of delivery of which is refused or which is incapable of being delivered during normal business hours at the address specified herein or such other address designated pursuant hereto shall be deemed received as of the date of attempted delivery.

Modification of Terms. Without affecting the liability of Grantor or any other person (except any person expressly released in writing) for payment of the Indebtedness or for performance of any obligation contained herein and without affecting the rights of Beneficiary with respect to any security not expressly released in writing, Beneficiary may, at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity of the Note, without notice or consent: (i) release any person liable for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness or for performance of any obligation; (ii) make any agreement extending the time or otherwise altering the terms of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness, or modifying or waiving any obligation, or subordinating, modifying or otherwise dealing with the lien or charge hereof; (iii) exercise or refrain from exercising or waive any right Beneficiary may have; (iv) accept additional security of any kind; (v) release or otherwise deal with any property, real or personal, securing the Indebtedness, including all or any part of the Property.

Exercise of Options. Whenever, by the terms of this instrument, of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, Beneficiary is given any option, such option may be exercised when the right accrues, or at any time thereafter, and no acceptance by Beneficiary of payment of Indebtedness in default shall constitute a waiver of any default then existing and continuing or thereafter occurring unless such payment cures the default and is made prior to the default becoming an Event of Default or unless such payment cures the default, is made after the default has become an Event of Default, and Lender elects to accept the payment and accept the cure of the Event of Default.

Nature and Succession of Agreements. Each of the provisions, covenants and agreements contained herein shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding on, the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, grantees, and assigns of the parties hereto, respectively, and the term "Beneficiary" shall include the owner and holder of the Note.

Legal Enforceability. No provision of this instrument, the Note or any other Loan Documents shall require the payment of interest or other obligation in excess of the maximum permitted by law. If any such excess payment is provided for in any Loan Documents or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and Grantor shall not be obligated to pay the amount of such interest or other obligation to the extent that it is in excess of the amount permitted by law.

Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, the personal liability of Grantor shall be limited as provided in the Note.

Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence in each of the Loan Documents. The remedies of Beneficiary as provided herein or in any other Loan Document or at law or in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively, or together at the sole discretion of Beneficiary, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and neither the failure to exercise any such right or remedy nor any acceptance by Beneficiary of payment of Indebtedness in default shall in any event be construed as a waiver or release of any right or remedy. Neither this instrument nor any other Loan Document may be modified or terminated orally but only by agreement or discharge in writing and signed by Grantor and Beneficiary. If any of the provisions of any Loan Document or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such Loan Document and each of the other Loan Documents, and the application of such provision or provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of each of the Loan Documents shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Waiver of Jury Trial. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Beneficiary hereby waive any right to trial by jury with respect to any action or proceeding (a) brought by Grantor, Beneficiary or any other person relating to (i) the obligations secured hereby and/or any understandings or prior dealings between the parties hereto or (ii) the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, or (b) to which Beneficiary is a party.

Governing Law. This instrument, the interpretation hereof and the rights, obligations, duties and liabilities hereunder shall be governed and controlled by the laws of the state in which the Property is located.
