liens arising under or with respect to the Leases.

any requirements of Law for the construction or maintenance of any improvements

Section 6.1. Impositions.
(a) Subject to clause (c) below, Borrower will pay each Imposition at
least 15 days before the date (the "IMPOSITION PENALTY DATE") that is the
earlier of (i) the date on which the Imposition becomes delinquent and (ii) the
date on which any penalty, interest or charge for non-payment of the Imposition
accrues.
(b) At least 10 days before each Imposition Penalty Date, Borrower will
deliver to Lender a receipted ▇▇▇▇ or other evidence of payment.
(c) Borrower, at its own expense, may contest any Taxes or Assessments,
provided that Borrower pays the amount of such Taxes or Assessments in
accordance with clause (a) above or the following conditions are met:
(i) not less than 30 days prior to the Imposition Penalty
Date, Borrower delivers to Lender notice of the proposed contest;
(ii) the contest is by a Proceeding promptly initiated and
conducted diligently and in good faith;
(iii) there is no Event of Default;
(iv) the Proceeding suspends the collection of the contested
Taxes or Assessments;
(v) the Proceeding is permitted under and is conducted in
accordance with the Leases and the Property Documents;

penalties and sale or forfeiture of the Property and Lender will not be
subject to any civil suit; and
(vii) Borrower either deposits with the Accumulations
Depositary reserves or furnishes a bond or other security satisfactory
to Lender, in either case in an amount sufficient to pay the contested
Taxes or Assessments, together with all interest and penalties or
Borrower pays all of the contested Taxes or Assessments under protest.
(d) Installment Payments. If any Assessment is payable in installments,
Borrower will nevertheless pay the Assessment in its entirety on the day the
first installment becomes due and payable, unless Lender approves payment of the
Assessment in installments, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 6.2. Accumulations.
(a) Borrower made an initial deposit with either Lender or a mortgage
servicer or financial institution designated or approved by Lender from time to
time, acting on behalf of
10
Lender as Lender's agent or otherwise such that Lender is the "customer", as
defined in the Uniform Commercial Code, of the depository bank with respect to
the deposit account and/or securities account into which the Accumulations are
deposited, to receive, hold and disburse the Accumulations in accordance with
this Section (the "ACCUMULATIONS DEPOSITARY"). On the first day of each calendar
month during the Term Borrower will deposit with the Accumulations Depositary an
amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual Taxes and Assessments as
determined by Lender or its designee. Borrower will deliver to the Accumulations
Depositary, promptly upon receipt, any bills and other documents that are
necessary to pay the Taxes and Assessments.
(b) Subject to all of the other provisions of this SECTION 6.2, the
Accumulations will be applied to the payment of Taxes and Assessments and any
excess Accumulations after payment of Taxes and Assessments will be returned to
Borrower or credited against future payments of the Accumulations, at Lender's
election or as required by Law. If the Accumulations are not sufficient to pay
Taxes and Assessments, Borrower will pay the deficiency to the Accumulations
Depositary promptly upon receipt of notice thereof (and in any event not less
than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date when any penalty or interest for
the nonpayment of such Taxes and Assessments would attach).
(c) The Accumulations Depositary will hold the Accumulations as
security for the Obligations until applied in accordance with the provisions of
this Deed of Trust and any agreement among Borrower, Lender and the
Accumulations Depositary. If Lender is not the Accumulations Depositary, the
Accumulations Depositary will deliver the Accumulations to Lender upon Lender's
demand at any time after an Event of Default.
(d) If the Property is sold or conveyed other than by foreclosure or
transfer in lieu of foreclosure, all right, title and interest of Borrower to
the Accumulations will automatically, and without necessity of further
assignment, be held for the account of the new owner, subject to the provisions
of this Section and Borrower will have no further interest in the Accumulations.
(e) Borrower waives all right to demand, receive or collect any
interest or other return on the Accumulations, which will not be held in trust
and which, except as required by Law or as otherwise agreed in that certain Real
Estate Tax Pledge and Security Agreement of even date herewith, will be held in
a non-interest bearing account and may be commingled with other monies held by
the Accumulations Depositary.
(f) Lender has the right to pay, or to direct the Accumulations
Depositary to pay, any Taxes or Assessments unless Borrower is contesting the
Taxes or Assessments in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust, in
which event any payment of the contested Taxes or Assessments will be made under
protest in the manner prescribed by Law or, at Lender's election, will be
withheld.
(g) If Lender assigns this Deed of Trust, Lender will pay, or cause the
Accumulations Depositary to pay, the unapplied balance of the Accumulations to
or at the direction of the assignee. Simultaneously with the payment, if the
assignee assumes, with respect to the amounts so paid, Lender's obligations
under that certain Real Estate Tax Pledge and Security Agreement of even date
herewith, Lender and the Accumulations Depositary will be released from all
11
liability with respect to the Accumulations and Borrower will look solely to the
assignee with respect to the Accumulations. When the Obligations have been fully
satisfied, any unapplied balance of the Accumulations will be returned to
Borrower. At any time after an Event of Default occurs, Lender may apply the
Accumulations as a credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in
its sole discretion.
Section 6.3. Changes in Tax Laws. If a Law requires the deduction of
the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or imposes a
tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt, any Loan Document or Lender's
interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax with interest and penalties,
if any. If Lender determines that Borrower's payment of the tax may be unlawful,
unenforceable, usurious or taxable to Lender, the Debt will become immediately
due and payable on 120 days' prior notice.
ARTICLE VII
INSURANCE, CASUALTY, CONDEMNATION AND RESTORATION
Section 7.1. Insurance Coverages.
(a) Borrower will maintain such insurance coverages and endorsements in
form and substance and in amounts as Lender may require in its sole discretion,
from time to time, provided, however, that the insurance required hereunder
shall be of the type and in the amounts that is no more onerous to Borrower than
the types and amounts Lender requires for other properties that are similar in
type and location as the Property. Until Lender notifies Borrower of changes in
Lender's requirements, Borrower will maintain not less than the insurance
coverages and endorsements Lender required for closing of the Loan.
(b) The insurance, including renewals, required under this Section will
be issued on valid and enforceable policies and endorsements reasonably
satisfactory to Lender (the "POLICIES"). Each Policy will contain a standard
waiver of subrogation and a replacement cost endorsement and will provide that
Lender will receive not less than 30 days' prior written notice of any
cancellation, termination or non-renewal of a Policy or any material change
other than an increase in coverage and that Lender will be named under a
standard mortgage endorsement as loss payee.
(c) The insurance companies issuing the Policies (the "INSURERS") must
be authorized to do business in the State of California, must have been in
business for at least 5 years, must carry an A.M. Best Company, Inc. policy
holder rating of A- or better and an A.M. Best Company, Inc. financial category
rating of Class X or better and must be otherwise satisfactory to Lender. Lender
may select an alternative credit rating agency and may impose different credit
rating standards for the Insurers so long as the credit rating requirements are
no more stringent than those set forth herein. Notwithstanding Lender's right to
approve the Insurers and to establish credit rating standards for the Insurers,
Lender will not be responsible for the solvency of any Insurer.
(d) Notwithstanding Lender's rights under this Article, Lender will not
be liable for any loss, damage or injury resulting from the inadequacy or lack
of any insurance coverage.
12
(e) Borrower will comply with the provisions of the Policies and with
the requirements, notices and demands imposed by the Insurers and applicable to
Borrower or the Property.
(f) Borrower will pay the Insurance Premiums for each Policy not less
than 10 days before the expiration date of the Policy being replaced or renewed
and will deliver to Lender a certificate of insurance evidencing the new or
renewed Policy not less than 5 days prior to the expiration date of the Policy
being replaced or renewed, and will deliver to Lender an original or, if a
blanket policy, a certified copy of each Policy marked "Paid" promptly upon
receipt by Borrower.
(g) Borrower will not carry separate insurance concurrent in kind or
form or contributing in the event of loss with any other insurance carried by
Borrower.
(h) Borrower will not carry any of the insurance required under this
Section on a blanket or umbrella policy without in each instance Lender's prior
approval which may be withheld in Lender's sole discretion (except that, so long
as the Property is owned by Science Park Center LLC, a California limited
liability company, Lender's prior approval will not be unreasonably withheld).
If Lender approves, Borrower will deliver to Lender a certified copy of the
blanket policy which will allocate to the Property the amount of coverage
required under this Section and otherwise will provide the same coverage and
protection as would a separate policy insuring only the Property.
(i) Borrower will give the Insurers prompt notice of any change in
ownership or occupancy of the Property. This subsection does not abrogate the
prohibitions on transfers set forth in this Deed of Trust.
(j) If the Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or otherwise is
transferred so as to extinguish the Obligations, all of Borrower's right, title
and interest in and to the Policies then in force will be transferred
automatically to the purchaser or transferee.
Section 7.2. Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) Borrower will give Lender notice of any Casualty promptly after it
occurs and will give Lender notice of any Condemnation Proceeding promptly after
Borrower receives notice of commencement or notice that such a Condemnation
Proceeding will be commencing. Borrower will promptly deliver to Lender copies
of all documents Borrower delivers or receives relating to the Casualty or the
Condemnation Proceeding, as the case may be.
(b) Borrower authorizes Lender, at Lender's option, to act on
Borrower's behalf to collect, adjust and compromise any claims for loss, damage
or destruction under the Policies on such terms as Lender determines in Lender's
sole discretion. Borrower authorizes Lender to act, at Lender's option, on
Borrower's behalf in connection with any Condemnation Proceeding. Borrower will
execute and deliver to Lender all documents requested by Lender and all
documents as may be required by Law to confirm such authorizations. Nothing in
this Section will be construed to limit or prevent Lender from joining with
Borrower either as a co-defendant or as a co-plaintiff in any Condemnation
Proceeding.
13
(c) If Lender elects not to act on Borrower's behalf as provided in
this Section, then Borrower promptly will file and prosecute all claims
(including Lender's claims) relating to the Casualty and will prosecute or
defend (including defense of Lender's interest) any Condemnation Proceeding.
Borrower will have the authority to settle or compromise the claims or
Condemnation Proceeding, as the case may be, provided that Lender has approved
in Lender's reasonable discretion any compromise or settlement that exceeds
$500,000.00. Any check for Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Awards, as the
case may be (the "PROCEEDS") will be made payable to Lender and Borrower.
Borrower will endorse the check to Lender promptly upon Lender presenting the
check to Borrower for endorsement or if Borrower receives the check first, will
endorse the check promptly upon receipt and forward it to Lender. If any
Proceeds are paid to Borrower, Borrower will promptly deposit the Proceeds with
Lender, to be applied or disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this
Deed of Trust. Lender will be responsible for only the Proceeds actually
received by Lender.
Section 7.3. Application of Proceeds. Subject to Section 7.4, after
deducting the costs incurred by Lender in collecting the Proceeds, Lender may,
in its sole discretion, (i) apply the Proceeds as a credit against any portion
of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion; (ii) apply the Proceeds
to restore the Improvements, provided that Lender will not be obligated to see
to the proper application of the Proceeds and provided further that any amounts
released for Restoration will not be deemed a payment on the Debt; or (iii)
deliver the Proceeds to Borrower.
Section 7.4. Conditions to Availability of Proceeds for Restoration.
Notwithstanding the preceding Section, after a Casualty or a Condemnation (a
"DESTRUCTION EVENT"), Lender will make the Proceeds (less any costs incurred by
Lender in collecting the Proceeds) available for Restoration in accordance with
the conditions for disbursements set forth in the Section entitled
"RESTORATION", provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) Science Park Center LLC, a California limited liability company, or
the transferee under a Permitted Transfer, if any, continues to be Borrower at
the time of the Destruction Event and at all times thereafter until the Proceeds
have been fully disbursed;
(ii) no Event of Default under the Loan Documents exists at the time of
the Destruction Event and no Event of Default has occurred during the 12 months
prior to the Destruction Event;
(iii) Leases for at least 80% of the rentable square feet for which
Leases are in effect immediately prior to the Destruction Event and all Property
Documents in effect immediately prior to the Destruction Event that are
essential to the use and operation of the Property continue in full force and
effect notwithstanding the Destruction Event;
(iv) if the Destruction Event is a Condemnation, Borrower delivers to
Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Improvements can be
restored to an economically and architecturally viable unit;
(v) Borrower delivers to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Lender that the Proceeds are sufficient to complete Restoration or if the
Proceeds are insufficient to complete
14
Restoration, Borrower first deposits with Lender funds ("ADDITIONAL FUNDS") that
when added to the Proceeds will be sufficient to complete Restoration;
(vi) if the Destruction Event is a Casualty, Borrower delivers to
Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Insurer under each affected
Policy has not denied liability under the Policy as to Borrower or the insured
under the Policy;
(vii) Lender is reasonably satisfied that the proceeds of any business
interruption insurance or lost rental insurance in effect together with other
available gross revenues from the Property and Additional Funds, to the extent
Borrower elects in its sole discretion to deposit such Additional Funds with
Lender and such Additional Funds are in excess of amounts necessary to satisfy
clause (v) above, are sufficient to pay Debt Service Payments after paying the
Impositions, Insurance Premiums, reasonable and customary operating expenses and
capital expenditures until Restoration is complete;
(viii) Lender is satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or
before the date (the "RESTORATION COMPLETION DATE") that is the earliest of: (A)
12 months prior to the Maturity Date; (B) 18 months after the Destruction Event;
(C) the earliest date required for completion of Restoration under any Lease
(other than a Lease which is not, pursuant to Section 7.4(iii), required to
remain in effect), or any Property Document; or (D) any date required by Law;
and
(ix) following the Restoration Completion Date the annual Rents
(excluding security deposits) under Leases which are in effect on the date of
the Destruction Event and which will remain in effect after the Restoration
Completion Date will, after payment of annual Insurance Premiums, Impositions
and operating expenses of the Property (including ground rent, if any), provide
debt service coverage equal to at least 1.15 times the amount of annual Debt
Service Payments, all as reasonably projected by Lender, provided that, if such
Rents will not provide such debt service coverage, then Borrower expressly
authorizes and directs Lender to apply an amount from the Proceeds to reduction
of Principal in order to reduce the annual Debt Service Payments sufficiently
for such debt service coverage to be achieved. The reduced debt service payments
will be calculated using the Fixed Interest Rate and an amortization schedule
that will achieve the same proportionate amortization of the reduced Principal
over the then remaining Term as would have been achieved if the Principal and
the originally scheduled Debt Service Payments had not been reduced. Borrower
will execute any documentation that Lender deems reasonably necessary to
evidence the reduced Principal and debt service payments.
Section 7.5. Restoration.
(a) If the total Proceeds for any Destruction Event are $250,000.00 or
less and Lender elects or is obligated by Law or under this Article to make the
Proceeds available for Restoration, Lender will disburse to Borrower the entire
amount received by Lender and Borrower will commence Restoration promptly after
the Destruction Event and complete Restoration not later than the Restoration
Completion Date.
(b) If the Proceeds for any Destruction Event exceed $250,000.00 and
Lender elects or is obligated by Law or under this Article to make the Proceeds
available for Restoration, Lender will disburse the Proceeds and any Additional
Funds (the "RESTORATION FUNDS") upon
15
Borrower's request as Restoration progresses, generally in accordance with
normal construction lending practices for disbursing funds for construction
costs, provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) Borrower commences Restoration promptly after the
Destruction Event and completes Restoration on or before the
Restoration Completion Date;
(ii) if Lender requests, Borrower delivers to Lender prior to
commencing Restoration, for Lender's approval, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld, plans and specifications and a detailed
budget for the Restoration;
(iii) Borrower delivers to Lender satisfactory evidence of the
costs of Restoration incurred prior to the date of the request, and
such other documents as Lender may reasonably request including
mechanics' lien waivers and title insurance endorsements;
(iv) Borrower pays all costs of Restoration whether or not the
Restoration Funds are sufficient and, if at any time during
Restoration, Lender reasonably determines that the undisbursed balance
of the Restoration Funds is insufficient to complete Restoration,
Borrower deposits with Lender, as part of the Restoration Funds, an
amount equal to the deficiency within 30 days of receiving notice of
the deficiency from Lender; and
(v) there is no Event of Default under the Loan Documents at
the time Borrower requests funds or at the time Lender disburses funds.
(c) If an Event of Default occurs at any time after the Destruction
Event, then Lender will have no further obligation to make any remaining
Proceeds available for Restoration and may apply any remaining Proceeds as a
credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole
discretion.
(d) Lender may elect at any time prior to commencement of Restoration
or while work is in progress to retain, at Borrower's expense, an independent
engineer or other consultant to review the plans and specifications, to inspect
the work as it progresses and to provide reports. If any matter included in a
report by the engineer or consultant is unsatisfactory to Lender, Lender may
suspend disbursement of the Restoration Funds until the unsatisfactory matters
contained in the report are resolved to Lender's satisfaction.
(e) If Borrower fails to commence and complete Restoration in
accordance with the terms of this Article, then in addition to the Remedies,
Lender may elect to restore the Improvements on Borrower's behalf and reimburse
itself out of the Restoration Funds for costs and expenses incurred by Lender in
restoring the Improvements, or Lender may apply the Restoration Funds as a
credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole
discretion.
(f) Lender may commingle the Restoration Funds with its general assets
and will not be liable to pay any interest or other return on the Restoration
Funds unless otherwise required
16
by Law. Lender will not hold any Restoration Funds in trust. At Lender's
election or, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, at Borrower's request,
Lender will deposit the Restoration Funds with a depositary satisfactory to
Lender under a disbursement and security agreement satisfactory to Lender, and
such agreement shall include provisions for the payment of interest on
Restoration Funds held by the depositary.
(g) Borrower will pay all of Lender's expenses incurred in connection
with a Destruction Event or Restoration. If Borrower fails to do so, then in
addition to the Remedies, Lender may from time to time reimburse itself out of
the Restoration Funds.
(h) If any excess Proceeds remains after Restoration, Lender may elect,
in its sole discretion either to apply the excess as a credit against any
portion of the Debt as selected by Lender in its sole discretion or to deliver
the excess to Borrower.

that would not have or cause an adverse effect on the Property, Borrower, or
Lender's liens and interests in the Property). Borrower, the Property and the
use of the Property will continue to comply with Law and with all agreements and
conditions necessary to preserve and extend all rights, licenses, permits,

reasonably be expected to result in an adverse effect on the Property, Borrower,
or Lender's liens or interest in the Property. Borrower will use all
commercially reasonable efforts and means to cause all other parties to the
Property Documents to pay and perform their obligations under the Property
Documents as and when required by the Property Documents, except where failure
to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in an adverse effect on the

not amend or waive any provisions of the Property Documents; exercise any
options under the Property Documents; give any approval required or permitted
under the Property Documents
17

the Loan Documents; cancel or surrender any of the Property Documents; or
release or discharge or permit the release or discharge of any party to or
entity bound by any of the Property Documents, without, in each instance,
Lender's prior approval (excepting therefrom all service contracts or other

(b) Borrower is not and will continue not to be a "governmental plan"
within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and transactions by or with
Borrower are not and will not be subject to any Laws regulating investments of
and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans.
(c) Borrower will not engage in any transaction which would cause any
obligation or any action under the Loan Documents, including Lender's exercise
of the Remedies, to be a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA.

be supplied to Lender either (i) a copy of a completed Form ▇▇▇▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

disclosed in the Environmental Report and to Borrower's knowledge as of the date
of this Deed of Trust:
(i) no Environmental Activity has occurred or is occurring on the
Property other than the use, storage, and disposal of Hazardous Substances which
(A) is (or at the time occurring was) in the ordinary course of business
consistent with the Permitted Use or the construction of the Improvements; (B)
is (or was at such time) in compliance with all Environmental Laws and (C) has

with the preceding subsection (b). Borrower promptly will deliver to Lender
copies of all documents delivered to or received by Borrower regarding the
matters set forth in this subsection, including notices of Proceedings or
investigations concerning any Material Environmental Contamination of the
Property or
19
Environmental Activity or concerning Borrower's status as a potentially
responsible party (as defined in the Environmental Laws). Borrower's
notification of Lender in accordance with the provisions of this subsection will
not be deemed to excuse any default under the Loan Documents resulting from the
violation of Environmental Laws or the Material Environmental Contamination of
the Property or Environmental Activity that is the subject of the notice. If
Borrower receives notice of a suspected violation of Environmental Laws in the
vicinity of the Property that poses a risk of Material Environmental
Contamination of the Property, Borrower will give Lender notice and copies of
any documents received relating to such suspected violation.
(d) From time to time at Lender's request, Borrower will deliver to
Lender any information known and documents available to Borrower relating to the
environmental condition of the Property.
(e) Lender may perform or engage an independent consultant to perform
an assessment of the environmental condition of the Property and of Borrower's
compliance with this Section on an annual basis, or at any other time for
reasonable cause or after an Event of Default. In connection with the
assessment: (i) Lender or its consultant may enter and inspect the Property and
perform tests of the air, soil, ground water and building materials; (ii)
Borrower will cooperate and use best efforts to cause tenants and other
occupants of the Property to cooperate with Lender or consultant; (iii) Borrower

Substances required to be disposed of as a result of the tests; (v) Lender will
not have liability to Borrower with respect to the results of the assessment;

causes each consultant to assume in writing responsibility for any such damage
before permitting any such consultant to enter or inspect the Property, and the
consultant provides Borrower with evidence of at least $1,000,000 of liability
insurance, covering the owner of the property (but not specifically naming
Borrower) as an additional insured prior to entry on the Property. The
consultant's reasonable fees and costs for such assessment and reports will be
at Borrower's expense (i) if the reports disclose any material adverse change in
the environmental condition of the Property from that disclosed in the
Environmental Report; (ii) if Lender engaged the consultant when Lender had
reasonable cause to believe Borrower was not in compliance with the terms of
this Article and, after written notice from Lender, Borrower failed to provide

Environmental Activity and Borrower will accept the reconveyance.

FINANCIAL REPORTING
Section 10.1. Financial Reporting.
(a) Borrower will deliver to Lender within 90 days after the close of
each Fiscal Year an annual financial statement (the "ANNUAL FINANCIAL
STATEMENT") for the Property (and, upon Lender's request, for Borrower) for the
Fiscal Year, which will include a comparative balance sheet, a cash flow
statement, an income and expense statement, a detailed breakdown of all receipts
and expenses and all supporting schedules. The Annual Financial Statement will
be:
(i) audited by a CPA and accompanied by an opinion of the CPA
that, in all material respects, the Annual Financial Statement fairly
presents the financial position of the Property (or Borrower, as
applicable); provided, however, that prior to the occurrence of any
Event of Default, the Annual Financial Statement may be unaudited, if
accompanied by a certification of Borrower and an authorized officer of
NBI, which certification shall state that, in all material respects,
the Annual Financial Statement fairly presents the financial position
of the Property (or Borrower, as applicable); and
(ii) separate and distinct from any consolidated statement or
report for Borrower or any other entity or any other property.
(b) Borrower will keep full and accurate Financial Books and Records
for each Fiscal Year. Borrower will permit Lender or Lender's accountants or
auditors to inspect or audit the Financial Books and Records from time to time
and with reasonable notice, except that during the existence of an Event of
Default, no notice shall be required. Borrower will maintain the Financial Books
and Records for each Fiscal Year for not less than 3 years after the date
Borrower delivers to Lender the Annual Financial Statement and the other
financial certificates, statements and information to be delivered to Lender for
the Fiscal Year. Financial Books and Records will be maintained at Borrower's
address set forth in the section entitled "NOTICES" or at any other location as
may be approved by Lender.
Section 10.2. Certificate of Good Standing. Borrower will cause to be
delivered to Lender, together with the annual financial statement required to be
delivered hereunder, or as otherwise requested by Lender from time to time, a
certificate of good standing from its state of organization.
Section 10.3. Annual Budget. Not less than 90 days after the end of
each Fiscal Year, Borrower will deliver to Lender a detailed comparative budget
(the "BUDGET") for the Property for the then current Fiscal Year showing
anticipated operating expenses, Insurance Premiums, Impositions, leasing
commissions, capital improvement costs, tenant improvement costs and any other
information Lender requests. Unless Lender notifies Borrower within 60 days
after Lender receives the Budget that Lender disputes information in the Budget,
the Budget as submitted will constitute the Budget for the then current Fiscal
Year. If Borrower concludes in good faith that a Budget needs material revision,
Borrower will submit a revised Budget to Lender, together with a detailed
explanation of the revisions. Unless Lender notifies Borrower within 60 days
after Lender receives the revised Budget that Lender disputes information in the
revised Budget, the
21
revised Budget as submitted will constitute the Budget for the remainder of the
then Fiscal Year. Borrower and Lender will use reasonable efforts to resolve
promptly any differences over a Budget or revised Budget. If Borrower and Lender
fail to agree on a Budget or revised Budget, Borrower will continue to manage
and operate the Property under the last undisputed Budget. Borrower waives any
defense or right of offset to the Obligations, and any claim or counterclaim
against Lender, arising out of any discussions between Borrower and Lender
regarding any Budget or revised Budget delivered to Lender or the resolution of
any disagreements relating to a Budget or revised Budget including any defense,
right of offset, claim or counterclaim alleging in substance, that by virtue of
such delivery, discussions or resolution, Lender has interfered with, influenced
or controlled Borrower or the operations at the Property.
ARTICLE XI
EXPENSES AND DUTY TO DEFEND
Section 11.1. Payment of Expenses.
(a) Borrower is obligated to pay all fees and expenses (the "EXPENSES")
reasonably incurred by Lender, Trustee or that are otherwise payable in
connection with the Loan, the Property or Borrower, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses and any reasonable fees and expenses relating to
(i) the preparation, execution, acknowledgment, delivery and recording or filing
of the Loan Documents; (ii) any Proceeding or other claim asserted against
Lender or any Proceeding described in the Section entitled "Lender's Right to
Appear"; (iii) any inspection, assessment, survey and test permitted under the
Loan Documents; (iv) any Destruction Event; (v) the preservation of Trustee's

administration of the Loan; (viii) the Leases and the Property Documents; and
(ix) any Proceeding in or for bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
debtor relief or similar Proceeding relating to Borrower, the Property or any
person liable under any guarantee, indemnity or other credit enhancement
delivered in connection with the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower
shall not be obligated to pay any Expenses that arise out of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
(b) Borrower will pay the Expenses promptly on demand, together with
any applicable interest, premiums or penalties. If Lender pays any of the
Expenses, Borrower will reimburse Lender the amount paid by Lender promptly upon
demand, together with interest on such amount at the Default Interest Rate from
the date Lender paid the Expenses through and including the date Borrower
reimburses Lender. The Expenses together with any applicable interest, premiums
or penalties constitute a portion of the Debt secured by this Deed of Trust.
Section 11.2. Duty to Defend. If Lender or any of its trustees,
officers, participants, employees or affiliates is a party in any Proceeding
relating to the Property, Borrower or the Loan, Borrower will indemnify and hold
harmless the party and will defend the party with attorneys and other
professionals retained by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender; provided,
however, that Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify or defend any such
party to the extent such Proceeding arises out of such party's gross negligence
or willful misconduct.
22
Lender may elect to engage its own attorneys and other professionals, at
Borrower's reasonable expense, to defend or to assist in the defense of the
party. In all events, case strategy will be determined by Lender if Lender so
elects and no Proceeding will be settled without Lender's prior approval which
may be withheld in its sole discretion.
ARTICLE XII
TRANSFERS, LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES
Section 12.1. Prohibitions on Transfers, Liens and Encumbrances.
(a) Borrower acknowledges that in making the Loan, Lender is relying to
a material extent on the business expertise and net worth of Borrower and
Borrower's general partners, members or principals and on the continuing
interest that each of them has, directly or indirectly, in the Property.
Accordingly, except as specifically set forth in this Deed of Trust, Borrower
(i) will not, and will not permit its partners, members or principals to, effect
a Transfer without Lender's prior approval, which may be withheld in Lender's
sole discretion and (ii) will keep the Property free from all liens and
encumbrances other than the lien of this Deed of Trust and the Permitted
Exceptions. Subject to SECTION 12.1(C), a "TRANSFER" is defined as any sale,
grant, lease (other than bona fide third-party space leases with tenants),
conveyance, assignment or other transfer of, or any encumbrance or pledge
against, the Property, any interest in the Property, any interest of Borrower's
partners, members or principals in the Property, or any change in Borrower's
Constituents or composition, in each instance whether voluntary or involuntary,
direct or indirect, by operation of law or otherwise and including the grant of
an option or the execution of an agreement relating to any of the foregoing
matters.
(b) Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that:
(i) Borrower is a California limited liability company with
only the following members: (A) NBI, which is Borrower's managing
member, and owns 99.5% of the membership interests in Borrower; and (B)
NBIHQ, which owns 0.5% of the membership interests in Borrower. The
managing member and the other members are referred to as the "EXISTING
MEMBERS".
(ii) If Borrower's members are in turn partnerships,
corporations or limited liability companies, the general partners,
principals or members thereof and the percentage of partnership
interest, stock or membership interest held by each (and so on at each
level) are as follows: (A) NBIHQ is owned 100% by NBI; and (B) NBI is a
publicly-traded company.
(c) So long as the capital stock or other securities of NBI are
publicly traded (or, after completion of a HoldCo Transaction which constitutes
a Permitted Transfer, the capital stock or other securities of HoldCo are
publicly traded; or, after completion of an NBI Transaction which constitutes a
Permitted Transfer, the capital stock or other securities of the NBI Survivor
are publicly traded), the term "Transfer" is not intended to include, and shall
not be interpreted to include, transactions in such publicly-traded NBI
securities (or, after such a HoldCo Transaction, such publicly-traded HoldCo
securities; or, after such an NBI Transaction, such publicly-traded NBI Survivor
securities), including sales, transfers and other dispositions thereof, which do
not,
23
alone or together with other transactions in such securities, effect a change in
control of NBI (or, after such a HoldCo Transaction, change in control of
HoldCo; or, after such an NBI Transaction, change in control of the NBI
Survivor). However, the term "Transfer" does include all other transactions in
such securities, including but not limited to mergers, consolidations, share
exchanges, or business combinations of, by or involving NBI (or HoldCo, or an
NBI Survivor), regardless of the form of such transaction. As used in this
SECTION 12.1(C), "change in control" means the consummation of any transaction
the result of which is that any entity becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of more than twenty percent (20%) of the voting stock of NBI (or,
after such a HoldCo Transaction, the voting stock of HoldCo; or, after such an
NBI Transaction, the voting stock of the NBI Survivor), measured by voting power
rather than by number of shares.
Section 12.2. Permitted Transfers.
(a) Notwithstanding the prohibitions regarding Transfers, a Permitted
Transfer may occur without Lender's prior consent, provided that the following
conditions are met:
(i) at least 30 days prior to the proposed Permitted Transfer,
Borrower delivers to Lender a notice that is sufficiently detailed to
enable Lender to determine that the proposed Permitted Transfer
complies with the terms of this Section;

acceptance of payment or performance will not be deemed a waiver or cure of the
Event of Default.
32

Lender determines; and (iii) the remainder, if any to the person or persons
legally entitled to it.

agrees that the appointment may be made ex parte and as a matter of right to
Lender or Trustee, either before or after sale of the Property, without further
notice, and without regard to the solvency or insolvency, at the time of
application for the Receiver, of the person or persons, if any, liable for the

a Receiver, such actions may be taken only with the written consent of
Lender as provided in this Deed of Trust and in the Assignment;

announcement at the time and place appointed for the sale without further
notice;

and without impairment of any of Lender's or Trustee's rights and remedies with
respect to the unmatured portion of the Debt;
(v) Lender may bid for and acquire the Property at a sale and, in lieu

that Lender is authorized to deduct at Law, in equity or otherwise; and

consideration for the portion of the Property sold and Lender will apply the
proceeds as set forth in this Deed of Trust.

ARTICLE XVIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 18.1. Applicable Law. The Loan Documents are governed by and
will be construed in accordance with the Laws of the state or commonwealth in
which the Property is located without regard to conflict of law provisions,
except to the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code requires otherwise.
40
Section 18.2. Usury Limitations. Borrower and Lender intend to comply
with all Laws with respect to the charging and receiving of interest. Any
amounts charged or received by Lender for the use or forbearance of the
Principal to the extent permitted by Law, will be amortized and spread
throughout the Term until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest
charged or received by Lender on account of the Principal does not exceed the
Maximum Interest Rate. If any amount charged or received under the Loan
Documents that is deemed to be interest is determined to be in excess of the
amount permitted to be charged or received at the Maximum Interest Rate, the
excess will be deemed to be a prepayment of Principal when paid, without
premium, and any portion of the excess not capable of being so applied will be
refunded to Borrower. If during the Term the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, is
eliminated, then for purposes of the Loan, there will be no Maximum Interest
Rate.
Section 18.3. Lender's Discretion. Wherever under the Loan Documents
any matter is required to be satisfactory to Lender, Lender has the right to
approve or determine any matter or Lender has an election, Lender's approval,
determination or election will be made in Lender's reasonable discretion unless
expressly provided to the contrary.
Section 18.4. Unenforceable Provisions. If any provision in the Loan
Documents is found to be illegal or unenforceable or would operate to invalidate
any of the Loan Documents, then the provision will be deemed expunged and the
Loan Documents will be construed as though the provision was not contained in
the Loan Documents and the remainder of the Loan Documents will remain in full
force and effect.
Section 18.5. Survival of Borrower's Obligations. Borrower's
representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Documents will
continue in full force and effect and survive (i) satisfaction of the
Obligations; (ii) reconveyance of the lien of this property by Trustee; (iii)
assignment or other transfer of all or any portion of Lender's interest in the
Loan Documents or the Property; (iv) Lender's or Trustee's exercise of any of
the Remedies or any of Lender's or Trustee's other rights under the Loan
Documents; (v) a Transfer; (vi) amendments to the Loan Documents; and (vii) any
other act or omission that might otherwise be construed as a release or
discharge of Borrower.
Section 18.6. Relationship Between Borrower and Lender; No Third Party
Beneficiaries.
(a) Lender is not a partner of or joint venturer with Borrower or any
other entity as a result of the Loan or Lender's rights under the Loan
Documents; the relationship between Lender and Borrower is strictly that of
creditor and debtor. Each Loan Document is an agreement between the parties to
that Loan Document for the mutual benefit of the parties and no entities other
than the parties to that Loan Document will be a third party beneficiary or will
have any claim against Lender or Borrower by virtue of the Loan Document. As
between Lender and Borrower, any actions taken by Lender under the Loan
Documents will be taken for Lender's protection only, and Lender has not and
will not be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower or to any
other entity by virtue of Lender's actions.
(b) All conditions to Lender's performance of its obligations under the
Loan Documents are imposed solely for the benefit of Lender. No entity other
than Lender will have
41
standing to require satisfaction of the conditions in accordance with their
provisions or will be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to perform its
obligations in the absence of strict compliance with any of the conditions.
Section 18.7. Partial Reconveyances or Releases, Extensions, Waivers.
Lender may: (i) permit the reconveyance of any part of the Property or release
any entity obligated for the Obligations; (ii) extend the time for payment or
performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise amend the provisions for
payment or performance by agreement with any entity that is obligated for the
Obligations or that has an interest in the Property; (iii) accept additional
security for the payment and performance of the Obligations; and (iv) waive any
entity's performance of an Obligation, release any entity or individual now or
in the future liable for the performance of the Obligation or waive the exercise
of any Remedy or option. Lender may exercise any of the foregoing rights without
notice, without regard to the amount of any consideration given, without
affecting the priority of the Loan Documents, without releasing any entity not
specifically released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, without
releasing any guarantor(s) or surety(ies) of the Obligations, without effecting
a novation of the Loan Documents and, with respect to a waiver, without waiving
future performance of the Obligation or exercise of the Remedy waived.
Section 18.8. Service of Process. Borrower irrevocably consents to
service of process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, to Borrower at its address set forth in the Article entitled
"NOTICES".
Section 18.9. Entire Agreement. Oral agreements or commitments between
Borrower and Lender to lend money, to extend credit or to forbear from enforcing
repayment of a debt, including promises to extend or renew the debt, are not
enforceable. Any agreements among Borrower, Lender and Trustee relating to the
Loan are contained in the Loan Documents, which contain the complete and
exclusive statement of the agreements among Borrower, Lender and Trustee, except
as Borrower, Lender and, if applicable, Trustee may later agree in writing to
amend the Loan Documents. The language of each Loan Document will be construed
as a whole according to its fair meaning and will not be construed against the
party by or for whom it was drafted.
Section 18.10. No Oral Amendment. The Loan Documents may not be
amended, waived or terminated orally or by any act or omission made individually
by Borrower, Lender or Trustee but may be amended, waived or terminated only by
a written document signed by the party against which enforcement of the
amendment, waiver or termination is sought.
Section 18.11. Lost or Destroyed Note. If the Note is lost, mutilated,
destroyed or stolen, Borrower will deliver to Lender a new, substitute note
containing the same provisions as the Note, provided that Borrower is furnished
with reasonably satisfactory evidence of the loss, mutilation, destruction or
theft of the Note.
Section 18.12. Covenants Run with the Land. Subject to the restrictions on
transfer contained in the Article entitled "TRANSFERS, LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES",
all of the covenants of this Deed of Trust and the Assignment run with the Land,
will bind all parties hereto and all tenants and subtenants of the Land or the
Improvements and their respective heirs,
42
executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and all occupants and
subsequent owners of the Property, and will inure to the benefit of Lender and
all subsequent holders of the Note and this Deed of Trust.
Section 18.13. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect
to Borrower's payment and performance of the Obligations.
Section 18.14. Subrogation. If the Principal or any other amount
advanced by Lender is used directly or indirectly to pay off, discharge or
satisfy all or any part of an encumbrance affecting the Property, then Lender is
subrogated to the encumbrance and to any security held by the holder of the
encumbrance, all of which will continue in full force and effect in favor of
Lender as additional security for the Obligations.
Section 18.15. Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of
more than one person or entity, the obligations and liabilities of each such
person or entity under this Deed of Trust are joint and several.
Section 18.16. Successors and Assigns. The Loan Documents bind the
parties to the Loan Documents and their respective successors, assigns, heirs,
administrators, executors, agents and representatives and inure to the benefit
of Lender and its successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors, agents
and representatives and to the extent applicable inure to the benefit of Trustee
and its successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors, agents and
representatives.
Section 18.17. Duplicates and Counterparts. Duplicate counterparts of
any of the Loan Documents, other than the Note, may be executed and together
will constitute a single original document.
Section 18.18. Severability. The invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents will not affect
any other provisions of the Loan Documents, which will be construed as if the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision never had been included.
ARTICLE XIX
TRUSTEE PROVISIONS
Section 19.1. Acceptance of Trust.
(a) Trustee accepts this trust upon recordation of this Deed of Trust
as provided by Law. Except as provided by Law, Trustee is not obligated to
notify any party of a pending sale under this Deed of Trust or of a Proceeding
in which Borrower, Lender or Trustee is a party.
(b) Lender may from time to time unilaterally substitute a successor to
Trustee pursuant to a recordable instrument that complies with Law for
substitution of Trustees. The recorded substitution will be conclusive proof of
proper substitution of trustee who will, without conveyance from predecessor
trustee, succeed to all of the predecessor trustee's title, estate, rights,
powers and duties.
43
Section 19.2. Reconveyance After Payment. Upon written request of
Lender stating that all of the Obligations have been paid, upon surrender of
this Deed of Trust to Trustee for cancellation and retention and upon payment to
Trustee of its fees, costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred thereby,
Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Property then held hereunder. The
recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or 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."

Trust as of the date first set forth above.
