has not used, or filed a financing statement under, any other name for at
least the last five (5) years.
Hazardous Substances. The terms "hazardous waste," "hazardous substance,"
"disposal," "release," and "threatened release," as used in this Agreement,

properties, or (ii) any actual or threatened litigation or claims of any kind
by any person relating to such matters. (c) Neither Borrower nor any tenant,
contractor, agent or other authorized user of any of the properties shall

Borrower authorizes Lender and its agents to enter upon the properties to
make such inspections and tests as Lender may deem appropriate to determine
compliance of the properties with this section of the Agreement. Any
inspections or tests made by Lender shall be at Borrower's expense and for
Lender's purposes only and shall not be construed to create any
responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Borrower or to any other
person. The representations and warranties contained herein are based on
Borrower's due diligence in investigating the properties for hazardous waste
and hazardous substances. Borrower hereby (a) releases and waives any future
claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Borrower
becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws, and (b) agrees

Agreement or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage,
disposal, release or threatened release occurring prior to Borrower's
ownership or interest in the properties, whether or not the same was or
should have been known to Borrower. The provisions of this section of the
Agreement, including the obligation to indemnify, shall survive the payment
of the Indebtedness and the termination or expiration of this Agreement and

properties, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.

proceeding or similar action (including those for unpaid taxes) against

materially adversely affect Borrower's financial condition or properties,
other than litigation, claims, or other events, if any, that have been
disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in writing.

Borrower that are or were required to be filed, have been filed, and all
taxes, assessments and other governmental charges have been paid in full,
except those presently being or to be contested by Borrower in good faith in
the ordinary course of business and for which adequate reserves have been
provided.

Borrower has not entered into or granted any Security Agreements, or
permitted the filing or attachment of any Security Interests on or affecting
any of the Collateral directly or indirectly securing repayment of Borrower's
Loan and Note, that would be prior or that may in any way be superior to
Lender's Security Interests and rights in and to such Collateral.
Binding Effect. This Agreement, the Note, all Security Agreements directly or

Related Documents are binding upon Borrower as well as upon Borrower's
successors, representatives and assigns, and are legally enforceable in
accordance with their respective terms.

upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Santa

Consent to Loan Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender's sale
or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation interests in
the Loans to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated to Lender.
Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one or more
purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may
have about Borrower or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and
Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy it may have with respect to such
matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of

participation interests will be considered as the absolute owners of such

participation interests may enforce its interests irrespective of any
personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have against Lender.
Costs and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender's
expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution, enforcement, modification and
collection of this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made pursuant to
this Agreement. Lender may pay someone else to help collect the Loans and to
enforce this Agreement, and Borrower will pay that amount. This includes,
subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and
Lender's legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including
attorneys' fees for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or
vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-
judgment collection services. Borrower also will pay any court costs, in
addition to all other sums provided by law.

in writing, may be sent by telefacsimile, and shall be effective when
actually delivered or when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight
courier or deposited in the United States mail, first class, postage prepaid,
addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given at the address shown

giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the
purpose of the notice is to change the party's address. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, if there is more than one Borrower, notice to
any Borrower will constitute notice to all Borrowers. For notice purposes,
Borrower agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Borrower's current
address(es).
Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of
this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or
unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any such
offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the limits of
enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision cannot be so
modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of this Agreement in
all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of any
provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without
limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word "Borrower" as
used herein shall include all subsidiaries and affiliates of Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances shall this
Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other financial
accommodation to any subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower.
Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained by or on
behalf of Borrower shall bind its successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not,
however, have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement or any
interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.
Survival. All warranties, representations, and covenants made by Borrower in
this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by
Borrower to Lender under this Agreement shall be considered to have been
relied upon by Lender and will survive the making of the Loan and delivery to
Lender of the Related Documents, regardless of any investigation made by
Lender or on Lender's behalf.
Time Is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this
Agreement.
Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No
delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate
as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a
provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of
Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or
any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any
course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any
Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any
obligations of Borrower or of any Grantor as to any future transactions.
Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting
of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing
consent in subsequent instances where such consent is required, and in all
cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of
Lender.
