7.1 BASE RENT.
---------
The Base Rent to be paid by Tenant under any Lease Supplement shall begin

ARTICLE VIII
TAXES
-----
8.1 REAL ESTATE TAXES.
-----------------
(a) From and after the Lease Commencement Date for each Lease
Supplement, Tenant shall pay during the Term directly to the appropriate
taxing authority all Real Estate Taxes (as defined below). If the Lease
Commencement Date occurs on, or the Lease Supplement Term expires or otherwise
terminates on, any date other than the beginning or end of a taxable year,
Tenant's obligation to pay Real Estate Taxes shall be prorated on the basis of
a 365-day year, so as to include only that portion of the taxable year which
is a part of the Lease Supplement Term.
(b) Except to the extent that Real Estate Tax bills and statements are
sent directly to Tenant by the taxing authority, upon receipt by Landlord of the
tax bills or statements, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to promptly advise
Tenant in writing of all Real Estate Taxes and shall deliver copies of all
applicable tax bills or statements to Tenant. Tenant shall pay directly to the
taxing authority all Real Estate Taxes prior to the later of (i) thirty (30)
days after receipt by Tenant from Landlord of a copy of such bills and
statements referred to above, or (ii) five (5) business days prior to
delinquency. As used herein, the term "Real Estate Taxes" shall mean any and
all taxes, governmental fees and similar charges or assessments levied or
assessed against the improvements and/or the Land including, without limitation,
ad valorem taxes and special assessments applicable to real property; provided,
however, that Real Estate Taxes shall not include any Landlord Taxes (as defined
below). Real Estate Taxes shall also
15
include any and all documentary, transfer, sales, mortgage, recording or
similar taxes imposed on Landlord or Tenant in connection with any sale of the
Parcels to a third party in accordance with this Lease following an Event of
Default by Tenant or in a transaction to which Tenant is a party. As used
herein, the term "Landlord Taxes" shall mean any and all franchise, gains,
gift, succession, excess profits, gross receipts, revenue, estate, rental,
income or similar taxes or taxes in lieu thereof imposed upon Landlord or any
party other than Tenant (or an affiliate thereof) and any withholding tax
imposed as a collection device for, in lieu of, or otherwise related to any of
the foregoing without regard to whether such tax is required to be collected
by Tenant and without regard to whether Tenant would be liable for such
withholding tax in the event it failed to so withhold. For purposes of the
foregoing, an income tax shall include, without limitation, any tax imposed
under the United States Internal Revenue Code, as well as any tax which could
qualify as an "income tax" under United States Treasury Regulation Section
1.901-2 (except to the extent any such statute or regulation is subsequently
modified to include a tax or other governmental charge of a materially
different type and nature from the taxes currently described therein) and any
income tax which may be payable under the laws of any jurisdiction either now
or in the future. Real Estate Taxes for any given tax year shall exclude
assessment installments that are not due and payable during such tax year.
8.2 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.
-----------------------
Tenant shall pay directly to the appropriate taxing authorities prior to
delinquency any and all taxes and assessments levied or assessed during the Term
upon or against Tenant's furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and any other
personal property in the Parcels.
8.3 RIGHT TO CONTEST.
----------------
Tenant shall not be required to pay any Real Estate Taxes or any other
taxes for which Tenant is liable hereunder (including, without limitation, any
taxes for which Tenant is required to indemnify Landlord under Section 22.1)
------------
(including penalties and interest), so long as (i) Tenant shall contest the same
or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings in such a manner to
prevent the tax sale of any portion of the Parcels and (ii) the position to be
taken by Tenant pursuant to such contest would have a realistic possibility of
success if litigated. For purposes of this Lease, Tenant may conclusively
establish that a position to be taken in a contest would have a realistic
possibility of success if litigated by providing to Landlord a letter from
counsel stating an opinion to such effect. In the event of any such contest,
Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after the final determination thereof, pay
and discharge the amounts determined to be due in accordance therewith and with
the provisions of this Lease, together with any penalties, fines, interest,
costs and expenses that may have accrued thereon or that may have resulted from
Tenant's contest. Tenant also shall have a right to contest any taxes for which
it is liable hereunder, but with regard to which the position to be taken
pursuant to such contest would not have a realistic possibility of success if
litigated, provided that Tenant pays such taxes on or prior to the date upon
which such taxes are asserted to be due by the relevant governmental authority.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.3, Tenant shall have
-----------
an unconditional right to contest (without prior payment) any taxes imposed by
law upon Tenant rather than upon Landlord. Tenant's decision to pay any taxes
prior to contesting its or another party's underlying liability therefor shall
not be deemed to imply or suggest that the position to be taken in such contest
would not have a realistic possibility of success if litigated. Landlord shall
cooperate fully with Tenant in connection with the exercise of Tenant's
16
right of contest contained herein, and in the event that applicable law shall
require that Landlord, rather than Tenant, pursue legal proceedings for such
contest, Landlord will initiate and pursue such contest upon Tenant's request
and in accordance with Tenant's instructions (including, without limitation,
Tenant's instructions as to the selection of legal counsel and matters of
strategy or settlement); provided, however, that Landlord shall not be subject
-------- -------
to any liability for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with
any such contest or proceedings, and Tenant will indemnify and save harmless
Landlord from any such costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of court and appraisal costs), reimbursing
Landlord therefor upon demand (or paying such costs and expenses directly when
due, all as directed by Landlord). Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of
any taxes and penalties or interest from any governmental authority to the
extent the refund represents monies paid to the governmental authority by
Tenant or paid by Landlord and reimbursed by Tenant.
8.4 ADDITIONAL CHARGES.
------------------
All payments made by Tenant under this Lease shall be made free and clear
of, and without reduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed
pursuant to any Legal Requirement, excluding, however, any Landlord Taxes (all
such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings
being hereinafter called "Additional Charges"). Tenant shall be responsible for
the payment of any such Additional Charges; and if any such Additional Charges
are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Landlord hereunder, then
the amounts so payable to Landlord shall be increased by an amount ("Additional
Amount") necessary to yield to Landlord (after payment of all Additional
Charges) the Base Rent and other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in
the amounts specified in this Lease. Whenever any Additional Charges are
required to be withheld by Tenant, such Additional Charges shall be deducted or
withheld by Tenant, and shall be paid by Tenant to the appropriate governmental
authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. As promptly as
possible thereafter, Tenant shall send to Landlord for its own account a copy of
an original official receipt (or other evidence of payment) received by Tenant
showing payment thereof. If Tenant is required to pay Landlord any Additional
Amount, Landlord shall use its best efforts (consistent with its internal policy
and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change its jurisdiction if the making
of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce to the greatest extent
possible the amount of, any such Additional Amount which may thereafter accrue
and would not, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, be otherwise
disadvantageous to Landlord. If Landlord subsequently receives a refund of any
Additional Amounts, or if such Additional Amounts result in a net benefit to
Landlord, the amount of such refund or net benefit shall be paid to Tenant
within 30 days of the receipt of such refund or net benefit; provided, however,
that the payment to Tenant shall not exceed the Additional Amount to which the
refund or net benefit relates. The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive
-----------
the termination of this Lease with respect to any Additional Charges that become
due during the Term.
ARTICLE IX
INSURANCE
---------
9.1 LIABILITY INSURANCE.

insurance policy shall contain coverage limits no less than the following: (1)
Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per person; (2) Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000) per incident; and (3) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for

9.2 BUILDERS' RISK INSURANCE.
------------------------
With respect to any improvements which may be under construction and not
yet covered by insurance under the terms of Section 9.3, Tenant shall maintain
-----------
or cause to be maintained a policy or policies of builders' risk insurance in an
amount equal to the value upon completion of the work (exclusive of land,
foundation, excavation, grading, landscaping, architectural and development fees
and other items customarily excluded from such coverage), insuring against the
risks customarily insured against under such insurance, including fire,
vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, lightning, and windstorm.
9.3 ALL-RISK INSURANCE.
------------------
With respect to any improvements now or hereafter situated on the Land,
prior to the termination of the builders' risk insurance required by Section
-------
9.2, and at all times thereafter, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, (a) a
policy or policies of all-risk insurance covering the improvements, providing
coverage against loss or damage by fire, vandalism, malicious mischief,
sprinkler leakage, lightning, windstorm, and other insurable perils, as, under
good insurance practice, from time to time are insured against under all-risk
coverage for properties of similar character, age and location in an amount or
amounts not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the then actual replacement
cost (exclusive of land, foundation, excavations, grading, landscaping,
architectural and development fees and other items customarily excluded from
such coverage and without any deduction for depreciation); and (b) standard
earthquake coverage, with a deductible which is commercially available for the
geographical location of the Parcels. Provided, however Tenant may elect not to
obtain earthquake insurance, in which case Tenant shall covenant to pay the cost
of repairing damage to the improvements caused by an earthquake.
9.4 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
--------------------
The insurance required under this Article IX may be furnished under a
----------
"primary" policy and an "umbrella" policy or policies. Landlord shall be named
as an additional insured under Tenant's policy of insurance required under
Section 9.1; and such policies shall contain an endorsement for cross-liability
-----------
coverage. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates from Tenant's
insurers with respect to the insurance required to be carried hereunder on or
before the date such insurance is required to be carried. The certificates
shall state that such insurance is in full force and effect and that coverage
will not be reduced below the amounts required under Section 9.1 or otherwise
-----------
limited or cancelled without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord.
Renewal certificates shall be furnished to Landlord not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration of each such policy, provided, however, that Tenant
shall not be required to provide Landlord with such renewal certificates prior
to the expiration of each such policy so long as (i) Tenant provides Landlord
with reasonable assurances within ten (10) days prior to the expiration of each
such policy that there will be no lapse in the insurance coverage provided under
such policy, and (ii) Tenant provides Landlord with such renewal certificates
within ten (10) days following the expiration of each such policy. Any blanket
insurance policy or policies that insure Tenant against the risks and for the
amounts herein specified shall be deemed to satisfy the obligation of Tenant
hereunder, provided that any
18
such policy of blanket insurance shall specify the amount of the total
insurance allocated to the risks required to be insured hereunder and such
allocated amount meets the requirements of this Article IX. All insurance
----------
required by this Article IX shall be with an insurance company licensed to do
----------
business in the state in which the Parcel is located with a general
policyholder's rating, as rated by the most current available "Bests"
Insurance Reports, and no less than A-XIII and non-contributing.
9.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.
---------------------
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent
permitted by law and so long as any insurance coverage maintained by Tenant is
not diminished by reason thereof, Tenant hereby (a) releases and waives any
rights it may have against Landlord and its officers, agents and employees on
account of any loss or damages occasioned to Tenant, its property or the
Parcels, and arising from any risk covered by any fire and extended coverage
insurance maintained by Tenant, whether or not due to the negligence of
Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees, invitees or other
persons, and (b) waives on behalf of any insurer providing such insurance to
Tenant any right of subrogation that any such insurer may have or acquire
against Landlord or such persons by virtue of payment of any loss under such
insurance. Tenant shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
insurance policies to contain a waiver of subrogation clauses in accordance with
the foregoing.
9.6 INDEMNITY.
---------
After receiving written notice from Landlord of a claim (failure to give
such notice shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder unless the
claim occurs as a direct result of failure to give such notice), Tenant shall
protect, defend, indemnify, hold and save Landlord harmless from and against any
and all losses, costs, liabilities or damages (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements and court costs) arising by reason of: (i) any and all
injury or death of persons or damage to property against which Tenant is
obligated to maintain insurance for the benefit of Landlord pursuant to this
Article IX; (ii) the failure to obtain the waiver of subrogation clause required
----------
by Section 9.5 hereof where such clause could have been obtained through the
-----------
exercise of Tenant's commercially reasonable efforts; or (iii) the invalidation
of such insurance policy required to be obtained by Tenant hereunder by Tenant's
insurer; provided this subsection (iii) shall not apply to the extent Landlord
actually receives insurance for the aforesaid losses, costs, liabilities or
damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and court costs
but excluding costs, fees or premiums paid by Landlord in connection with such
insurance) or to the extent recovery of insurance proceeds is prevented by
Landlord's gross negligence. Tenant's duty to indemnify Landlord under this
Section 9.6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease
-----------
with respect to events occurring during the Term. Landlord agrees to cooperate
with Tenant in the defense of any claim undertaken by Tenant pursuant to this
Section.
ARTICLE X
USE
---
10.1 USE.
---
(A). PERMITTED. Tenant may use the Parcels for any lawful purpose.
---------
19
(B). ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE.
------------------------
(I) Defined Terms. The term "Applicable Environmental
-------------
Laws" shall mean any applicable laws, regulations or ordinances pertaining to
health or the environment, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 or otherwise (as

Act of 1976, as amended by the Used Oil Recycling Act of 1980, the Solid Waste
Disposal Act Amendments of 1980, the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of
1984 or otherwise (as amended, hereinafter called "RCRA"), and the California
Health & Safety Code Section 25501(j). The terms "hazardous substance" and
"release" as used in this Lease shall have the meanings specified in CERCLA,
and the terms "solid waste" and "disposal" (or "disposed") shall have the
meanings specified in RCRA; provided, in the event either CERCLA or RCRA is
amended or superseded by other laws so as to broaden the meaning of any term
defined thereby, such broader meaning shall apply subsequent to the effective
date of such amendment or other laws: and, provided further, to the extent
that the laws of any state in which a Parcel is located establish a meaning
for "hazardous substance", "release", "solid waste", or "disposal" which is
broader than that specified in either CERCLA or RCRA, such broader meaning
shall apply.
(II) TENANT'S COVENANTS. Tenant will not cause or knowingly
------------------
permit the Parcels to be in violation of, or do anything or knowingly permit
anything to be done which subjects Landlord, Tenant or the Parcels to any
remedial obligations relating to the Parcels under or which creates a valid
claim or cause of action against Landlord, Tenant (which relates to the
Parcels) or the Parcels under, any Applicable Environmental Laws, including,
without limitation, CERCLA, RCRA, and the environmental laws of the state in
which the Parcel is located assuming disclosure to the applicable governmental
authorities of all relevant facts, conditions and circumstances, if any,
pertaining to the Parcels and Tenant will promptly notify Landlord in writing
of any existing, pending or threatened investigation, claim or inquiry of
which Tenant has knowledge by any governmental authority in connection with
any Applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant shall obtain any permits, licenses
or similar authorizations to construct, occupy, operate or use any
improvements, fixtures and equipment at any time located on the Parcels by
reason of any Applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant will not use the Parcels
in a manner which will result in the disposal or other release of any
hazardous substance or solid waste on or to the Parcels in violation of
Applicable Environmental Law and covenants and agrees to keep or cause the
Parcels to be kept at levels of any hazardous substance, solid waste or
environmental contaminants (including, without limitation, arsenic in soil and
friable asbestos and any substance containing asbestos deemed hazardous by any
Applicable Environmental Law) in accordance with Applicable Environmental Law,
and to remove the amounts of the same (or if removal is prohibited by law, to
take whatever action is required by law) promptly upon discovery at Tenant's
sole expense to the extent required by Applicable Environmental Law. Tenant
shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of any disposal or other release of
any hazardous substance, environmental contaminants or solid wastes on or to
the Parcels in violation of Applicable Environmental Law. In the event Tenant
fails to comply with or perform any of the foregoing covenants and
obligations, after thirty (30) days' prior written Notice to
20
Tenant, Landlord may, but shall be under no obligation to, cause the Parcels
to be freed from such hazardous substance, solid waste or environmental
contaminants (or if removal is prohibited by law, to take whatever action is
required by law) to the extent required by Applicable Environmental Law and
the reasonable cost of the removal or such other action shall be a demand
obligation owing by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Landlord shall have no right to cause the removal of such
materials and no Event of Default (or default) shall be deemed to have
occurred under this Lease so long as Tenant both: (1) is diligently and in
good faith proceeding to comply with Tenant's obligation to remove such
amounts of such materials; and (2) has the financial ability to so comply.
Subject to the foregoing, Tenant grants to Landlord and Landlord's agents and
employees access to the Parcels at reasonable times and on reasonable notice
to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency), and the license to remove such
hazardous substance, solid waste or environmental contaminants (or if removal
is prohibited by law, to take whatever action is required by law to the extent
required by Applicable Environmental Law); and except for Landlord's willful
misconduct or gross negligence, agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless
from all reasonable costs and expenses involved and from all claims (including
consequential damages) asserted or proven against Landlord by any party in
connection therewith. Upon Landlord's reasonable request for "good cause"
(defined below), at any time and from time to time during the Term, Tenant
will provide at Tenant's sole expense an inspection or audit of the Parcels
reasonable in scope given the circumstances which created the "good cause"
(defined below) from an engineering or consulting firm approved by Landlord,
indicating the presence or absence of any hazardous substance, solid waste or
environmental contaminants located on the Parcels. If Tenant fails to provide
same after sixty (60) days' notice, Landlord may order same, and Tenant grants
to Landlord and Landlord's employees and agents access to the Parcels and a
license to undertake any testing reasonably required to obtain such inspection
or audit. The cost of obtaining such inspection or audit and any expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, shall, to the extent reasonable
under the circumstances, be a demand obligation owing by Tenant to Landlord
pursuant to this Lease. For purposes of this Section 10.1(b)(2), "good cause"
------------------
shall mean that Landlord shall have reasonable grounds to believe that release
or disposal of hazardous substances or solid wastes in violation of Applicable
Environmental Law has occurred on the Parcels.
(C) Compliance With Legal Requirements. Tenant shall at all-times
----------------------------------
comply with all material Legal Requirements applicable to the Land or any
improvements now or hereafter situated on the Land and/or the use thereof.
10.2 CONTEST OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.
-----------------------------
Tenant shall have the right at its sole cost and expense to contest the
validity of any Legal Requirements applicable to the Parcels by appropriate
proceedings diligently conducted in good faith; and upon the request of Tenant
and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, Landlord will join and cooperate with
Tenant in such proceedings. Subject to Section 8.3, and any other provision of
-----------
this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant's right to contest Legal
Requirements must be exercised in such a manner as to avoid any exposure of the
Parcels or any part thereof to foreclosure or execution sale or exposure of
Landlord to civil or criminal penalties arising from Tenant's non-compliance
with such Legal Requirements. Tenant shall defend and indemnify Landlord
against, and hold
21
Landlord harmless from, any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, injury or
expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs) which

------------
earlier termination of this Lease.

or exception to exist with respect to the Parcels at any time.
14.2 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO SELL.
------------------------
Landlord may not transfer all or any portion of its right, title and
interest in any Parcel; provided, however that nothing contained in this Lease
shall be deemed in any way to limit, restrict or otherwise affect the right of
Landlord at any time and from time to time to sell or transfer all or any
portion of its right, title and estate in any Parcel to: (1) a Landlord
Affiliate (excluding, however, a non-substantive entity that is formed

other substantive operations or which is a special purpose entity under the
provisions of EITF 90-15); or (2) another financial institution (excluding,
however, a non-substantive entity that is formed specifically for purposes of
owning the Parcels subject to this Lease and has no other substantive operations

or transfer by Landlord whatsoever shall by its express terms recognize and
confirm the right of possession of Tenant to the Parcels and Tenant's other
rights arising out of this Lease shall not be affected or disturbed in any way
by any such sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance (except for any disturbance
resulting from a foreclosure sale conducted pursuant to the laws of the state
where each Parcel is located at which independent third party bids were
permitted pursuant to the SBLF Deed of Trust), and any transferee shall
expressly assume in writing all obligations of Landlord to be performed
following the date of transfer. Nothing in this Section 14.2 shall prohibit

institution.

------------------------------
At each time Landlord sells, assigns, transfers or conveys the entire
right, title and estate of Landlord in any Parcel and in this Lease, Landlord
shall turn over to the transferee any funds or other property then held by
Landlord under this Lease and thereupon all the liabilities and obligations on
the part of the Landlord under this Lease arising after the effective date of
such sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance shall terminate as to the
transferor and be binding upon the transferee.
ARTICLE XV
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING
-------------------------
15.1 RIGHT TO ASSIGN.
---------------
(A) TENANT'S RIGHT. Provided that there is not an Event of Default
--------------
under this Lease which is continuing and uncured or if there is such an Event of
Default, provided that Tenant cures the Default in connection with the
assignment, Tenant shall have the right, at any
23
time and from time to time during the Term, to assign all or any portion of
its right, title and estate in any Parcel and in this Lease without approval
by Landlord. Any such assignee, immediate or remote, shall have the same right
of assignment. Any such assignment shall be evidenced by a written instrument,
properly executed and acknowledged by all parties thereto and, at Tenant's
election, duly recorded in the Official Records, wherein and whereby the
assignee assumes all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
Notwithstanding any such assignment and assumption or any sublease permitted
under Section 15.2 hereof, Tenant shall remain primarily liable for all
------------
obligations and liabilities on the part of Tenant theretofore or thereafter
arising under this Lease and all Lease Supplements.

withhold its consent to any equipment lease entered into by Tenant.
ARTICLE XVI
EMINENT DOMAIN
--------------
16.1 TOTAL OR SUBSTANTIAL TAKING.
---------------------------
If title or access is taken for any public or quasi-public use, or under
any statute or by right of condemnation or eminent domain, or by sale in lieu
thereof (a "Taking") with respect to any or all of a Parcel, or if title to so
much of the Parcel or access thereto is Taken, or if the Parcel or access
thereto is damaged, blocked or impaired by the Taking, so that, in Tenant's
reasonable discretion, such Parcel or access thereto, even after a reasonable
amount of reconstruction thereof, will no longer be suitable for the conduct of
Tenant's (and/or Tenant's subtenants') business, then in any such event, this
Lease shall terminate on the date of such Taking. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant's right to purchase the Parcels shall survive any such
termination as to the portion of a Parcel not taken pursuant to and in
accordance with Section 20.1 below.
------------
16.2 PARTIAL TAKING.
--------------
If any part of a Parcel, or access thereto, shall be Taken, and the Parcel
or the remaining part thereof and access thereto will be, in Tenant's reasonable
discretion, suitable for the conduct of Tenant's (and/or Tenant's subtenants')
business in a manner
24
consistent with the conduct of such business prior to such Taking, all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and the Lease Supplement
covering such Parcel shall continue, except that Base Rent shall be adjusted
to reflect the decreased Lease Investment Balance or Site Investment Balance
and Improvements Investment Balance, if the terms of Section 6.3 are
-----------
also applicable, remaining after application thereto of the award made to
Landlord for such Taking.
16.3 TEMPORARY TAKING.
----------------
If the whole or any part of any Parcel is Taken for temporary use or
occupancy, this Lease shall not terminate by reason thereof and Tenant shall
continue to pay, in the manner and at the times herein specified, the full
amount of the Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder, and, except only to the
extent that Tenant may be prevented from so doing by reason of such Taking,
Tenant shall continue to perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants
and conditions hereof on the part of Tenant to be performed and observed, as
though the Taking had not occurred. In the event of any such temporary Taking,
Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of the award made for the
Taking, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise. If the temporary
Taking is for a term in excess of thirty (30) days, then the Taking shall be
treated as a permanent Taking and be governed by Sections 16.1 or 16.2, as
---------------------
applicable.
16.4 DAMAGES.
-------
The compensation attributable to any Parcel (in each case the compensation
or value shall be determined as of the date of the Taking) awarded or paid upon
any Taking (other than a temporary Taking, which shall be governed by Section
-------
16.3) in excess of $500,000, whether awarded to Landlord, Tenant, or both of
----
them, shall be held by Landlord to be applied against the Lease Investment
Balance, and all accrued and unpaid Base Rent and Additional Rent. Any
compensation below the amount of $500,000 shall be paid directly to Tenant and
applied and used as Tenant may direct in its sole discretion for any
construction, restoration or reconstruction purposes in connection with any
improvements on the Land which were affected by such taking. Any portion of
such compensation which Tenant does not want to use for any construction,
restoration or reconstruction shall be paid as follows (the order of payment as
set forth below shall be the "Distribution Formula"): (1) to Landlord (but only
to the extent of the then-existing Lease Investment Balance); and (2) with any
remaining excess to be paid to Tenant. Any compensation in excess of the Lease
Investment Balance plus all accrued and unpaid Base Rent and Additional Rent
shall be paid to Tenant.
16.5 NOTICE AND EXECUTION.
--------------------
Immediately upon service of process upon Landlord or Tenant in connection
with any Taking relating to any Parcel or any portion thereof or access thereto,
each party shall give the other Notice thereof. Each party agrees to execute
and deliver to the other all instruments that may be required to effectuate the
provisions of this Article XVI. Tenant reserves the right to appear in and to
-----------
contest any proceedings in connection with any such Taking. Tenant shall
immediately reimburse Landlord on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by Landlord in complying with Landlord's obligations under
this Section 16.5.

ARTICLE XVII
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
---------------------
17.1 CASUALTY.
--------
If any of the improvements now or hereafter situated on the Land (including
the Improvements) are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, except as
provided to the contrary in Section 17.2, this Lease shall continue in full
------------
force and effect without any abatement or reduction in Base Rent, and Tenant, at
Tenant's election, shall either (a) restore such improvements substantially to
their condition prior to the damage or destruction, or such other condition as
Tenant shall elect, subject to Landlord's approval in accordance with the terms
of Paragraph 12 of the Construction Management Agreement, which shall not be
------------
unreasonably withheld, or (b) not restore such improvements, but perform, or
cause to be performed, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, any work or service
required by any Legal Requirement for the protection of persons or property from
any risk, or for the abatement of any nuisance, created by or arising from the
casualty or the damage or destruction caused thereby.
17.2 TERMINATION OF LEASE SUPPLEMENT.
-------------------------------
In the case of: (a) any damage or casualty of any Improvements located on
a particular Parcel, which in the good faith judgment of Tenant's Board of
Directors would render the Improvements either unsuitable or uneconomic for
restoration or continued use by Tenant; (b) the damage or destruction of all or
substantially all (as determined in good faith by Tenant's Board of Directors)
of the Improvements; or (c) the damage or destruction of the Improvements where
restoration cannot (as determined in good faith by Tenant's Board of Directors)
reasonably be completed either within 365 days or prior to the expiration of the
Term, then Tenant may elect to terminate the Lease Supplement for such Parcel.
In the event Tenant terminates the Lease Supplement pursuant to the preceding
sentence, Tenant shall purchase Landlord's interest in such Parcel for a
purchase price equal to the Purchase Price for the Parcel as such Purchase Price
is defined in Section 20.1. The purchase of Landlord's interest in the Parcel
------------
shall be pursuant to the terms of Section 20.1, as applicable to the Parcel.
------------
17.3 INSURANCE PROCEEDS.
------------------
In the event of any fire or other casualty, the proceeds of any insurance
policies maintained by Tenant pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3 shall be held,
------------------
applied and dealt with as follows:
(a) Any proceeds (per occurrence) of such policies attributable to the
Improvements below the amount of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($500,000) or any proceeds directly attributable to improvements constructed on
the Property by Tenant solely with its own funds shall be paid directly to
Tenant and applied and used as Tenant may direct in its sole discretion for any
construction, restoration or reconstruction purposes in connection with any
improvements located on the Land which were destroyed, damaged or affected by
such casualty. Any portion of such proceeds which Tenant does not want to use
(subject to the terms of Section 17.3(c)) for any construction, restoration or
---------------
reconstruction shall be paid in accordance with the Distribution Formula set
forth in Section 16.4 above.
------------
(b) Any proceeds (per occurrence) of such policies attributable to the
Improvements greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) shall be paid
to an escrow agent ("Escrow Agent") mutually agreeable to the parties (but such
escrow agent shall
26
not be a party which is related to or affiliated with either of the parties to
this Lease, but shall be bound by the terms of this Article XVII). Such
------------
proceeds shall be invested by the Escrow Agent as Tenant may direct (provided,
however, that such proceeds may not be invested in any securities or any debt
obligations issued by Tenant). Such proceeds shall be paid by the Escrow Agent
to Tenant (or to third parties as Tenant may direct), as Tenant may direct
from time to time as restoration, construction or rebuilding progresses to pay
the cost of any restoration, construction or rebuilding which Tenant elects to
take place on the Land or any Improvements located upon the Land, so long as
Landlord reasonably determines that the following conditions are satisfied at
the time of such request for payment by Tenant: (i) the sum requested has been
paid or is then due and payable or will become due and payable within thirty
(30) days; (ii) Tenant has the financial ability (taking into account the
insurance proceeds held by the Escrow Agent) to complete the restoration,
construction or rebuilding which Tenant has elected to perform; (iii) Landlord
has approved the plans, if any, relating to the restoration of Improvements
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and (iv) in
Landlord's reasonable judgment, such restoration work which Tenant desires to
perform in connection with the Improvements can be completed prior to the
expiration of the Term. Landlord shall promptly upon request instruct the
Escrow Agent to make the payments requested by Tenant unless one of the four
(4) conditions described above is not satisfied at the time of such request.
Any excess insurance proceeds existing after either Tenant's completion of the
restoration, construction or rebuilding which Tenant elects to perform or
Tenant's failure to comply with the funding condition described in subitems
(i), (ii) and (iv) immediately above in this Section 17.3(b), shall be paid
---------------
pursuant to the Distribution Formula.
(c) If either: (1) Tenant has not delivered written notice to
Landlord within ninety (90) days after reaching final written settlement with
all insurance companies regarding the amount of proceeds to be paid for the
casualty in question, pursuant to which notice Tenant elects to either
exercise some or all of its termination rights under Section 17.2 and/or to
------------
fully or partially repair or restore pursuant to Section 17.1; or (2) Landlord
------------
reasonably believes that Tenant has abandoned reconstruction or restoration
work which Tenant may have elected to perform (and Tenant shall have failed to
diligently recommence reconstruction or restoration work which Tenant is then
able to perform within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt from Landlord
of a Notice of Landlord's belief of Tenant's abandonment of the reconstruction
or restoration work); then, in either case, the proceeds attributable to the
Improvements shall be paid pursuant to the Distribution Formula.
(d) Any insurance proceeds paid to Landlord under this Article XVII
------------
shall reduce the Lease Investment Balance, or Improvements Investment Balance
if the terms of Section 6.3 are applicable, for such Parcel by a like amount.
-----------

Landlord covenants to secure to Tenant the quiet possession of the Parcels
for the full Term against all persons claiming the same, by, through or in the
right of Landlord, subject to Landlord's rights and remedies under Article XIX
-----------
upon an Event of Default by Tenant. The existence of any Permitted Title
Exceptions shall not be deemed to
27
constitute a breach of Landlord's obligations hereunder. Tenant shall,
immediately upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs, expenses
and damages incurred or paid by Landlord in the performance of Landlord's
obligations under this Article XVIII (except for any costs, expenses or

damages arising from any Landlord liens or Landlord's willful breach of this

cured within such ten day period, and if Tenant shall promptly have commenced
to cure the same and shall thereafter prosecute the curing thereof with
reasonable diligence, the period within which such failure may be cured shall
be extended for such further period (not to exceed an additional ten (10) days
beyond the initial ten (10) day cure period) as shall be reasonably necessary

facility.
(G) DEFAULT IN PAYMENT OF LEASE INVESTMENT BALANCE. Failure of
----------------------------------------------
Tenant to pay to Landlord the Lease Investment Balance upon an Event of

failure to perform its obligations pursuant to the Termination Option (defined
in Section 20.2) as set forth in clause (b) of such subsection (i)), or (j),

including, without limitation, the obligations to make the payments required
pursuant to Sections 20.2(b), (d) and (e).
-----------------------------

---------------
taking of possession of all or a substantial portion of a Parcel by any
department of the city, county, state or federal government, or any officer
thereof duly authorized, by reason of the alleged insolvency of Tenant without
the consent or over the objection of Tenant, should Tenant desire to contest the
same in good faith, Tenant shall, within ninety (90) days after the filing of
the petition or after the appointment or taking of possession, give Notice to
Landlord that Tenant proposes to make the contest, and the same shall not
constitute an Event of Default so long as Tenant shall prosecute the proceedings
with due diligence and no part of any Parcel shall be exposed to sale by reason
of the continuance of the contest.
19.3 LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.
-------------------
Landlord shall have the remedies specified below:
(A) CONTINUE LEASE. In connection with an Event of Default, Landlord
--------------
shall have the right to enforce, by suit or otherwise, all other covenants and
conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by Tenant and to exercise all
other remedies permitted by the laws of the state in which the Parcel is
located. Upon application by Landlord, a receiver may be appointed to take
possession of such Parcel and exercise all rights granted to Landlord as set
forth in this Section 19.3.
------------
(B) TERMINATE LEASE. In connection with an Event of Default other
---------------
than an Event of Default under Section 19.1 (e), (f), (i) (but as to
--------------------------
subsection (i) only as to Tenant's failure to perform its obligations pursuant
--------------
to the Termination Option (defined in Section 20.2) as set forth in clause (b)
------------ ----------
of subsection (i)), or (j), Landlord may terminate this Lease or any Lease
-----------------------
Supplement, by giving Tenant Notice thereof, at any time after the occurrence
of such Event of Default. In such event Tenant shall be obligated to purchase
the Parcel (if Landlord has terminated only the Lease Supplement for such
Parcel) or all of the Parcels (if Landlord has terminated this Lease) for an
amount equal to the Purchase Price for all of the Parcels described in the
Purchase Option contained in Section 20.1 below (that is, all accrued Base
------------
Rent, Additional Rent and the Lease Investment Balance under each Lease
Supplement). If the Event of Default is under Sections 19.1 (e), (f), (i) (but
---------------------------
as to subsection (i) only as to Tenant's failure to perform its obligations
--------------
pursuant to the Termination Option (defined in Section 20.2) as set forth in
------------
clause (b) of subsection (i)) or (j), Tenant shall be obligated to pay only
---------- ----------------------
the Guaranteed Residual Value. Landlord shall also have its other remedies at
law (including its rights under the SBLF Deed of Trust and Pledge Agreement),
provided, however, that Tenant's option to purchase the Parcels pursuant to
Section 20.1 shall survive any termination of this Lease up through the date
------------
of foreclosure sale under the SBLF Deed of Trust.
(C) LANDLORD'S CONTINUING OBLIGATION TO SELL. Except in the case
----------------------------------------
of a foreclosure under the SBLF Deed of Trust, in the event Landlord obtains
possession of a Parcel pursuant to the terms of this Lease (because of Tenant's
default, Lease expiration, or otherwise), Landlord shall be under a continuing
obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell
30
such Parcel to one or more unrelated third parties; provided, however, that
for a period of thirty (30) days following such termination, Tenant shall have
the exclusive option to purchase such Parcel for the Purchase Price (as
defined below), and provided further, however, that Landlord shall not be
---------------- -------
required to sell or attempt to sell any portion of such Parcel (i) in a
manner, or under circumstances, that could materially impair Landlord's
ability to enforce any of its rights or remedies under this Lease (as
determined in Landlord's sole discretion exercised in good faith) or (ii) at a
time when market conditions render it inadvisable to sell or attempt to sell
such Parcel (as determined in Landlord's sole discretion exercised in good
faith). Upon the occurrence of any such sale Landlord shall be obligated to
pay to Tenant any excess of the amount realized by Landlord in connection with
such sale over the Purchase Price (defined below). For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the amount realized by Landlord upon a sale of a Parcel
shall be net of Landlord's reasonable sale expenses and other expenses
reasonably incurred by Landlord to consummate such sale. Landlord's obligation
to pay such excess to Tenant shall survive any termination of this Lease.
Tenant agrees that the Landlord will be deemed to be acting in good faith if
it refuses to sell its interest for less than the excess of the Lease
Investment Balance over the Guaranteed Residual Value.
In the event there is a foreclosure sale under the SBLF Deed of Trust, then
the party acquiring the property sold at such foreclosure sale (the "Purchaser")
shall have the option to purchase the fee simple interest in all, but not less
than all, of the then-existing Parcels owned by Landlord on the following terms:
(i) such option to purchase must be exercised by written notice delivered to
Landlord no later than thirty (30) days following the date of completion of the
foreclosure sale, as evidenced by the recordation of a deed conveying such
property so sold at foreclosure by the trustee under the SBLF Deed of Trust;
(ii) the purchase price for the fee simple interest in the then-existing Parcels
shall be the Purchase Price set forth in Section 20.1(a) of the Lease (as
---------------
adjusted to take into account all reductions in the Lease Investment Balance
resulting from payments received by Landlord, including proceeds received by
Landlord as a result of the foreclosure sale); and (iii) the purchase and sale
of the then-existing Parcels shall be consummated in the manner described in
Section 20.1(c) of the Lease. In the event such Purchaser fails to timely
---------------
exercise the foregoing purchase option, the purchase option shall expire and
Landlord shall thereafter have no further obligation to sell the then-existing
Parcels.
19.4 NO WAIVER.
---------
No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict performance of
any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy
consequent upon a breach thereof and no acceptance of full or partial Base Rent
or Additional Rent during the continuance of any breach shall constitute a
waiver of any such breach or of the term, covenant, or condition. No term,
covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by Tenant
or Landlord, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, terminated, altered or
modified except by a written instrument executed by Landlord and Tenant. No
waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every term,
covenant, and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
with respect to any other then existing subsequent breach thereof.
19.5 EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT.
--------------------
Notwithstanding an Entity's prior assignment or transfer of its interest as
Tenant under this Lease, so long as Landlord has been given Notice of such
assignment pursuant to Sections 15.1 and 21.3, Landlord shall give such Entity
----------------------
copies of all
31
Notices required by this Article XIX in connection with any Event of Default,
-----------
and such Entity shall have the period granted hereunder to Tenant to cure such
Event of Default, unless such Entity shall have been released from all
obligations arising under this Lease. Landlord may not assert any rights
against such Entity in the absence of such Notice and opportunity to cure, so
long as Landlord has been given Notice of such assignment pursuant to Sections
--------
15.1 and 21.3.
-------------
19.6 LANDLORD CURE RIGHT.
-------------------
If Tenant fails to perform any covenant or agreement to be performed by
Tenant under this Lease, and if the failure or default continues for thirty (30)
days after Notice to Tenant (except for emergencies and except for payment of
any lien or encumbrance threatening the imminent sale of any Parcel or any
portion thereof, in which case payment or cure may be made as soon as necessary
to minimize the damage to person or property caused by such emergency or to
prevent any such sale), Landlord may, but shall have no obligation to, pay the
same and cure such default on behalf of and at the expense of Tenant and do all
reasonably necessary work and make all reasonably necessary payments in
connection therewith including, but not limited to, the payment of reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Landlord. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall have no right to cure any such failure to perform by
Tenant so long as Tenant: (1) is diligently and in good faith attempting to
cure such matter and prosecuting such cure to completion; (2) has the financial
ability to so comply; and (3) commenced cure of such matter within thirty (30)
days after Tenant's receipt of Notice thereof from Landlord. Failure by Tenant
to comply with the above shall allow Landlord to commence in a reasonable and
customary manner and in good faith to attempt to cure such matter. Upon demand,
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable amount so paid, together with
interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred until the date repaid.
ARTICLE XX
TENANT'S OPTION TO PURCHASE OR TERMINATE
----------------------------------------
20.1 OPTION TO PURCHASE PARCELS.
---------------------------
(A) PURCHASE OPTION. On any Rent Payment Date during the Term,
---------------
Tenant shall have the option ("Purchase Option") to purchase all, but not less
than all, of a Parcel covered by a Lease Supplement. The purchase price
("Purchase Price") for the Parcel shall be the sum of accrued and unpaid Base
Rent, any accrued and unpaid Additional Rent, plus the Lease Investment
Balance under the applicable Lease Supplement.
(B) PURCHASE OPTION EXERCISE NOTICE. If Tenant desires to exercise
-------------------------------
the Purchase Option, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord thirty (30) days prior
written notice ("Purchase Option Exercise Notice") of Tenant's election. If
Tenant does not exercise the Termination Option with respect to any Parcel as
provided in Section 20.2 below it shall be deemed to have exercised the
------------
Purchase Option with respect to such Parcel.
(C) TRANSFER. If Tenant exercises the Purchase Option, the
--------
purchase and sale of the Parcels shall be consummated as follows:
32
(i) Landlord shall grant and convey the Parcels to Tenant,
its authorized agent or assignee, pursuant to a duly executed and acknowledged
assignment and assumption of leasehold interest (as to the Land) and a grant
deed as to the Parcels (collectively herein the "Deed"), free and clear of all
title defects, liens, encumbrances, deeds of trust, mortgages, rights-of-way
and restrictive covenants or conditions, of record, placed against the Parcels
by Landlord except for (A) the Permitted Title Exceptions (but not the SBLF
Deed of Trust), and (B) any UCC-1 filed or recorded which evidence security
interests encumbering the Parcels or any part thereof in favor of SBLF, which
security interests SBLF shall cause to be released so that they no longer
affect the Parcels.
(ii) The Purchase Price shall be paid upon delivery of the
Deed and any other documents reasonably requested by Tenant (the "Additional
Documents") to evidence the transfer of the Parcels subject to the Permitted
Title Exceptions (excluding the SBLF Deed of Trust, and any UCC-1 filed or
recorded which evidence security interests encumbering the Parcels or any part
thereof in favor of SBLF, which security interests SBLF shall cause to be
released so that they no longer affect the Parcels). In the event that Tenant
elects to assign the Purchase Option pursuant to Section 20.1(d) below, and
---------------
Tenant's assignee pays an amount less than the Purchase Price for the Parcels,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord any excess of the Purchase Price over the amount
paid by such assignee. Landlord shall deliver the Deed and the Additional
Documents to Tenant or Tenant's assignee on the date for closing specified by
Tenant in the Purchase Option Exercise Notice. The closing shall take place at
the location and in the manner reasonably set forth by Tenant or Tenant's
Assignee in the Purchase Option Exercise Notice; provided that the date of
closing shall occur no later than the last day of the Term of the Lease.
(iii) If Landlord shall fail to cause title to be in the
condition required in Section 20.1(c)(i) above within the time herein
------------------
prescribed for the delivery of the Deed, then Tenant shall have the right (in
addition to all other rights provided by law or in equity) by a written notice
to Landlord: (1) to extend the time (notwithstanding the Expiration Date of
this Lease) in which Landlord shall clear title and deliver the Deed and
Additional Documents, during which extension this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect, except Tenant shall be released from its obligation to pay
Base Rent and Additional Rent during the extension; (2) to accept delivery of
the Deed and Additional Documents subject to such title defects, liens,
encumbrances, deeds of trust, mortgages, rights-of-way and restrictive
covenants or conditions specified and set forth in the Deed and not cleared by
Landlord; (3) to rescind, by notice to Landlord and without any penalty or
liability therefor, any and all obligations Tenant may have under and by
virtue of the Purchase Option or the exercise thereof, whereupon this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect; (4) to accept delivery of the Deed and
the Additional Documents and if the title exception is curable by the payment
of money, Tenant may make such payment and such payment shall be a credit
against the Purchase Price in favor of Tenant.
(iv) Base Rent shall be prorated and paid and all Additional
Rent which is then due and payable shall be paid as of the date title to the
Parcel is vested of record in Tenant. Tenant shall pay the escrow fees; the
recorder's fee for recording the Deed; the premium for the title insurance
policy; all documentary transfer taxes; Tenant's attorneys' fees; Landlord's
reasonable attorneys' fees; all other costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in
consummating the transfer of the Parcel; and all reasonable expenses (except
as specified in the next sentence)
33
incurred by Landlord in consummating the transfer of the Parcel pursuant to
this Section 20.1. Landlord shall pay the costs and expenses of clearing title
------------
as required by Section 20.1(c)(i).
------------------
(D) ASSIGNMENT. Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord's
----------
consent, to assign this Purchase Option, in whole, to any Entity at any time,
whether or not Tenant also assigns its interest in the Lease.
20.2 TERMINATION OPTION.
------------------
(A) NOTICE. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
------
then continuing, unless Tenant has notified Landlord prior to such date that it
elects the Purchase Option, Tenant may, on the date which is six (6) months
prior to the expiration of the Term, exercise an option ("Termination Option")
to sell any Parcel; provided, however that at any time Tenant can rescind its
election to exercise its Termination Option if it then exercises its Purchase
Option pursuant to Section 20.1 above. The six (6) month period is referred to
------------
herein as the "Sales Period".
(B) TERMINATION OPTION. After giving the notice set forth in
------------------
section (a) above Tenant shall then use its best efforts to sell the Parcel
for cash to a third party purchaser (who is not an affiliate of Tenant within
the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933) and, if the Parcels
are not conveyed to such purchaser prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant
shall have no further right to sell the Parcels and Landlord may, at its
option either allow the Tenant to holdover pursuant to Section 6.2 above, or
-----------
terminate the Lease in which case Tenant shall immediately vacate the Parcels,
and quitclaim all interest of Tenant, if any, therein to Landlord, and pay to
Landlord the Guaranteed Residual Value as provided in Section 20.2(d) below.
---------------
(C) TERMINATION OPTION PROCEDURES. In the event that Tenant elects
-----------------------------
the Termination Option, Tenant shall use its best efforts throughout the Sales
Period to obtain a purchaser (who is not an affiliate of Tenant as described
above) for the Parcels. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to market the
Parcels during the first three (3) months of the Sales Period (the "Exclusive
Period"). Landlord may direct Tenant to hire and pay for no more than one (1)
commission sales agent after the expiration of the Exclusive Period. Except as
otherwise provided below, any sale by Tenant shall be for the highest cash bid
submitted to Tenant, including any cash bid submitted by Landlord. The
determination of the highest bid shall be made by Landlord prior to the end of
the Sales Period. After the end of the Exclusive Period, Landlord may accept
any bid solicited by Landlord, Tenant or its agent, in which case Tenant's sales
effort may be suspended until the earlier of the closing of such sale on the
last day of the Term or revocation or rejection of such cash bid.
Notwithstanding the above provisions, Tenant may (i) accept during the Exclusive
Period any cash bid (net of expenses of sale) which exceeds the Lease Investment
Balance, or (ii) rescind the Termination Option at any time so long as it is
exercising its Purchase Option, which shall be prior and superior to an accepted
offer from a third party. If Landlord undertakes any sales efforts, Tenant
shall promptly reimburse Landlord for any reasonable charges, costs and expenses
incurred in such effort, including any commissions, allocated time charges,
costs and expenses of internal counsel, external counsel or other attorneys'
fees.
34
(D) PAYMENTS UNDER TERMINATION OPTION. If Tenant elects the
---------------------------------
Termination Option with respect to any Parcel, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on
the last day of the Term in immediately available funds any Base Rent or
Additional Rent due and owing under the applicable Lease Supplement and this
Lease. Except as provided in Section 20.2(e), the proceeds (the "Proceeds") of
---------------
any sale of a Parcel pursuant to the Termination Option shall be paid to
Landlord upon any such sale without deductions, and not later than the
expiration of the Lease Term. If a Parcel is not sold and conveyed to a
purchaser in exchange for Proceeds on or before the expiration of the Lease
Term, then on the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
in immediately available funds an amount equal to the then Guaranteed Residual
Value under the applicable Lease Supplement, or if the terms of Section 6.3
-----------
apply, the Guaranteed Residual Value portion of the Site Investment Balance
and Improvements Investment Balance with respect to the applicable Lease
Supplement.
(E) PROCEDURES UPON SALE UNDER THE TERMINATION OPTION. Any sale
-------------------------------------------------
pursuant to the Termination Option shall be consummated on the last day of the
Term. To the extent the Proceeds exceed the Lease Investment Balance under the
applicable Lease Supplement plus any holdover rent due to Landlord under
Section 4.2 above, and such excess shall be paid out of escrow to Tenant. Upon
-----------
payment to Landlord of all amounts due it under this Lease and the applicable
Lease Supplement, Landlord shall execute and deliver to the purchaser of the
Parcel a grant deed in the same manner and subject to the same conditions and
obligations as are set forth in Section 20.1(c) above and have the same
---------------
obligation to deliver title and remove exceptions as set forth in said
Section. Except as provided in the second sentence of this subparagraph, the
Proceeds shall be applied first to the Lease Investment Balance under the
applicable Lease Supplement plus any holdover rent due to Landlord under
Section 4.2 above, Tenant shall then reimburse Landlord for the excess of the
-----------
Lease Investment Balance under the applicable Lease Supplement (calculated
immediately prior to receipt of the Proceeds) over the Proceeds, up to the
amount of the Guaranteed Residual Value under the applicable Lease Supplement.
In the event the terms of Section 6.3 are applicable, the Proceeds shall be
-----------
applied as follows: first, Landlord shall obtain an appraisal allocating
values between the Land and the Improvements; then the Proceeds shall be
applied to the Land and Improvements in the proportions set forth in the
appraisal. If the Proceeds allocated to the Land are less than the Site
Investment Balance (calculated immediately prior to receipt of the Proceeds),
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord in an amount equal to the difference between
the Site Investment Balance and the Proceeds up to but not to exceed the
Guaranteed Residual Value portion of the Site Investment Balance. If the
Proceeds allocated to the Improvements (calculated immediately prior to
receipt of the Proceeds) are less than the Improvements Investment Balance,
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord in an amount equal to the difference between
the Improvements Investment Balance and the Proceeds, up to but not to exceed
the Guaranteed Residual Value portion of the Improvements Investment Balance.

MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
21.1 RELATIONSHIP.
------------
Neither this Lease nor any agreements or transactions contemplated hereby
shall in any respect be interpreted, deemed or construed as constituting
Landlord and Tenant as partners or joint venturers, one with the other, or as
creating any
35
partnership, joint venture, association or, except as set forth in
Section 21.2 below, any other relationship other than that of landlord and
------------
tenant: and, except as set forth in Section 21.2 below, both Landlord and Tenant
------------
agree not to make any contrary assertion, contention, claim or counterclaim in
any action, suit or other legal proceeding involving either Landlord or Tenant
or the subject matter of this Lease.

-----------------------------------------
(a) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and declare that the

purposes of Federal, state and local income, property or other forms of tax.
Accordingly, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Landlord and Tenant agree and declare that (A) the transactions
contemplated hereby are intended to have a dual, rather than single, form and

reference such dual form do so as a matter of convenience only and do not
reflect the intent of Landlord and Tenant as to the true form of such
arrangements.
(b) Landlord and Tenant agree that, in accordance with their
intentions and the substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, Tenant
(and not Landlord) shall be treated as the owner of the Parcels for Federal,
state, local income and property tax purposes and this Lease shall be treated
as a financing arrangement. Tenant shall be entitled to take any deduction,
credit allowance or other reporting, filing or other tax position consistent
with such characterizations. Landlord shall not file any Federal, state or
local income tax returns, reports or other statements in a manner which is
inconsistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 21.2.

party at least thirty (30) days' prior Notice thereof, either party to this
Lease shall have the right from time to time during the Term of this Lease to
change the address(es)
36
thereof and to specify as the address(es) thereof any other address(es) within

Requirement regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in
the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy, whether or not having the force of law, of
any such Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on the capital of Landlord or any Rent Purchaser as a consequence
of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Landlord or any Rent
Purchaser could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration Landlord's and Rent Purchasers' policies with respect
to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after
written demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth
the basis for such demand) delivered to Tenant by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord and/or any Rent Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will

For so long as the Landlord is required to maintain reserves against
Eurocurrency Liabilities (or any other category of liabilities which include
deposits by reference to which the LIBOR Rate is determined or any category of
extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States
office of the Landlord to United States residents), and, as a result, the cost
to the Landlord (or its funding office) of making or maintaining its Advances is
increased, then the Landlord may require the Tenant to pay, contemporaneously
with each payment of Base Rent, an additional amount (the "Additional Amount")
at a rate per annum up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the
43
applicable LIBOR Rate divided by (B) one minus the Eurocurrency Reserve
-----
Requirements, over (ii) the applicable LIBOR Rate. In the event that the
Landlord wishes to require payment of the Additional Amount, Landlord (x)
shall so notify the Tenant, in which case the Additional Amount shall be
payable to the Landlord at the place indicated in such notice with respect to
each Borrowing Period commencing at least three (3) business days after the
giving of such notice and (y) shall furnish to the Tenant at least five (5)
business days prior to each date on which Base Rent is payable (the
"Additional Amount Notice") a certificate setting forth the Additional Amount
to which it is then entitled under this Section 21.22 (which shall be
-------------
consistent with it's good faith estimate of the level at which the related
reserves are maintained by it). Each such certificate shall be accompanied by
such information as the Tenant may reasonably request as to the computation
set forth therein. Upon written notice delivered to Landlord no more than five
(5) days following the receipt by Tenant of the Additional Amount Notice,
Tenant shall have the option to convert the method for calculating Base Rent
from that based on the LIBOR Rate to the Federal Funds Rate and to pay, in
lieu of LIBOR Base Rent plus the Additional Amount, the Federal Funds Base
Rent set forth above in Section 2.24.
-------------
21.23 COLLATERAL.
----------
The parties acknowledge that pursuant to Article XXIV below, Tenant may be
------------
required to pledge certain collateral ("Collateral") to the Rent Purchasers to
secure Tenant's obligations. If the Rent Purchasers apply any of the Collateral
to satisfy a Secured Obligation under the Pledge Agreement, such application
shall be deemed to reduce the Lease Investment Balance under this Lease on a
dollar-for-dollar basis. Tenant shall have no claims, rights or causes of
action against the Rent Purchasers or Landlord arising from any application of
the Collateral in accordance with the Pledge Agreement to satisfy any Secured
Obligation under the Pledge Agreement.
21.24 FIXED RATE OPTION.
-----------------
If no Event of Default exists hereunder or would exist except for the
passage of time or giving of notice, Tenant shall have the right upon five (5)
days prior written notice to Landlord to request that Landlord convert the
method for calculating Base Rent from that based on the LIBOR Rate or the
Federal Funds Rate, whichever is applicable, to that calculated on a fixed rate
of interest based on the then market conditions. In the event Tenant properly
exercises its option under this Section 21.24, Landlord and Tenant shall
-------------
cooperate in good faith to enter into an amendment to this Lease setting forth
the terms of the fixed interest rate, including, without limitation, the timing
and method of the payment of Base Rent, the new Default Rate, the term of the
fixed rate contract and any other terms and conditions of the Lease which must
be amended as a result of the conversion from the LIBOR Rate or the Federal
Funds Rate to a fixed interest rate. Upon the expiration of the fixed rate
contract, Base Rent shall be set at LIBOR Rate or Federal Funds Rate, whichever
is applicable.
21.25 FEDERAL FUNDS RATE.
------------------
If no Event of Default exists hereunder or would exist except for the
passage of time or giving of notice, Tenant shall have the right upon five (5)
business days prior written notice to Landlord to request that Landlord convert
the method for calculating Base Rent from that based on the LIBOR Rate or a
fixed rate of interest, whichever is applicable, to that calculated using the
Federal Funds Rate as set forth in Section 2.24 above, effective five (5)
------------
business days after receipt by Tenant of such written notice.

agent to manage and coordinate the construction of all aspects of the
Improvements.
2. Description of Services. Construction Manager shall select the project
-----------------------
manager and/or general contractors that will be responsible for construction of
the Improvements (the "Project Manager" and each general contractor, a
"Contractor"), subject to Owner's
1
reasonable approval. Owner hereby approves ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc., dba SRM
Associates as the Project Manager for the Improvements.
3. Construction Manager's Rights to Construct Improvements. Construction
-------------------------------------------------------
Manager shall have the right, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to require
Owner to pay for the construction of the Improvements (subject however to the
limitation specified in Section 11 below). With respect to such construction,
Owner hereby irrevocably appoints Construction Manager as Owner's construction
agent and Owner agrees that it has no right to construct additional Improvements
on the Parcel without Construction Manager's consent, which consent shall be
granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.
4. Required Permits, Easements, etc. From time to time, upon request of
--------------------------------
Construction Manager, Owner (as holder of record of title to the Parcel) shall
execute such reasonable documents, petitions, applications and authorizations,
easements and rights of way and shall appear at and participate in such public
hearings and similar gatherings, in each case as may in the reasonable and good
faith opinion of Construction Manager be necessary or appropriate for the
purpose of obtaining any Required Permits or private easements or rights of way
or utility services for the Improvements or to remove any title encumbrances on
the Parcel which may interfere with the construction of the Improvements. All
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Owner in complying with
Owner's obligations under this Section 4 shall be deemed to be an Advance and
shall be added to the Lease Investment Balance as of the date paid by Owner.
5. Role of Construction Manager. Construction Manager shall have the
----------------------------
authority, on Owner's behalf, to oversee and direct the construction of all
Improvements, including but not limited to, approval of building, site and other
plans, obtaining building and other permits, negotiating construction,
architect, engineering and other contracts, monitoring construction and making
periodic inspections, approval of any contractor's invoice for payment, and
submission of Draw Requests. Within a reasonable time after Construction
Manager's request, Owner shall execute construction and other contracts
negotiated by Construction Manager as may be required for the construction of
Improvements on the Parcel, or Construction Manager may enter into any such
contract as agent on behalf of Owner, including, without limitation, the general
contract for construction of tenant improvements, provided that any general
contract for construction must specify a guaranteed maximum price and include a
date certain for completion of construction, and Owner shall have approved any
such contract (whether to be executed by Owner or by Construction Manager as

prior written approval of Construction Manager, which consent shall be granted
or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.
6. Term. Owner's appointment of Construction Manager under this Agreement

Amended and Restated Master Lease, whereupon Owner shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to terminate the appointment of Construction Manager under
this Agreement.

right to approve the general contractor's general contract which must be on a
fixed price or cost plus basis and subject to a maximum price and a date certain
for completion. Owner has the right to approve the proposed site plans
("Authorized Plans") for all Improvements, as shown on Exhibit B attached
---------
hereto. Construction Manager hereby certifies to Owner that the Authorized
Plans attached hereto as Exhibit B do not violate any Legal Requirements in any
---------
material respect. Owner's approval of the Authorized Plans does not constitute
any representation or warranty by Owner with respect to such Authorized Plans,
and Owner hereby specifically disclaims any such representations and warranties.
8. Building Permits. Construction Manager shall obtain and shall submit to
----------------
Owner from time to time copies of all building permits and approvals required
for the construction of each portion of the Improvements prior to commencement
of substantial construction of the work to which any such permit or approval
relates.

-----------------------------------------------------------
of Owner to make an Advance hereunder for the costs of constructing the
Improvements shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:
(a) Draw Request. Owner shall have received a written request from
------------
Construction Manager or its agent requesting the Advance ("Draw Request") in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
---------
(b) Contractor's Certificate. With respect to any portion of an
------------------------
Advance going toward payment of labor, services, equipment and material
incorporated into the Improvements, for major materials stored at the site
during the preceding month and similar "hard costs" for the Building, Owner
shall have received a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D from
---------
the contractor responsible for the work to be paid from the Advance in question
("Contractor's Certificate").
(c) Lien Waivers. Owner shall have received Conditional Waivers and

the Pledge Agreement, if applicable.

----------------
Lease Supplement in the form set forth in the Amended and Restated Master Lease.
(f) Contractor Budget and Appraisal. There is no contractor budget
-------------------------------
for Lease Supplement No. 1 and Lease Supplement No. 2. If there is a general
contractor in connection with any future Lease Supplements, Owner must receive a
contractor budget for the Parcel. Owner must receive an appraisal of every
Parcel and Improvements of such Parcel valued (i) after construction of the
Improvements, with respect to any Lease Supplement for Construction, and (ii) as
of the date of any Lease Supplement for Acquisition, which appraisal shall be in
a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner and prepared by an
independent appraiser mutually satisfactory to Owner and Construction Manager in
accordance with all applicable regulatory requirements under the Financial
Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 and regulations
promulgated thereunder.
10. Conditions Precedent to Owner's Obligation to Fund Final Advance.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Owner's obligation to make the final Advance for the Improvements shall be
subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(a) Section 9 Conditions. All of the conditions precedent set forth
--------------------
in Section 9 above shall have been satisfied with respect to the final Advance.
(b) Building Certificate of Occupancy. Owner shall have received a
---------------------------------
copy of the certificate of occupancy or other similar approval issued by the
City for the Improvements.
11. Funding and Completion. Owner shall fund all Advances hereunder;
----------------------
provided, however, that in no event shall Owner have any obligation to fund any
Advances that would cause the Lease Investment Balance to exceed the Commitment
Amount as specified in the Amended and Restated Master Lease. Construction
Manager shall cause the Improvements to be completed within eighteen (18) months
of the date of the Agreement and within the proposed budget for construction of
the Improvements as shown in Exhibit E attached hereto ("Budget") (Owner and
---------
Construction Manager acknowledge that Exhibit E sets forth an interim budget
---------
that may be adjusted based upon receipt of final cost estimates and change
orders from the Contractors). In the event the Improvements have not been
completed within eighteen (18) months following the date of this Agreement or
the total cost of the Parcel acquisition and construction of the Improvements
exceeds $25,000,000, then Construction Manager shall re-purchase the Parcel and
Improvements for the Purchase Price (as defined in the Amended and Restated
Master Lease).
12. Further Approvals; Proposed Changes. Construction Manager shall only
-----------------------------------
be obligated to submit to Owner for approval documentation showing any proposed
material change to the Authorized Plans (but no approval shall be required with
respect to construction or design matters that are not contained in or addressed
by the Authorized Plans), and only to the extent such change is materially
inconsistent with the Authorized
4
Plans and shall materially affect the value of the Improvements. Owner's
approval or rejection, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall be
given within ten (10) days after request by Construction Manager and its
failure to respond during that period shall be deemed approval. All reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Owner in connection with the
review and approval of any such changes shall be deemed to be an Advance and
shall be added to Lease Investment Balance as of the date paid by Owner (Owner
shall promptly notify Construction Manager of any such Advance). Construction
Manager shall have the right, without further approval of Owner, to construct
Improvements not materially inconsistent with the Authorized Plans together
with such changes thereto as may be requested or required to comply with Legal
Requirements.
13. Additional Provisions Regarding Advances.
----------------------------------------
(a) Timing and Method of Disbursement. Advances to be made hereunder
---------------------------------
shall not be made more frequently than monthly. At any time Construction
Manager desires to receive an Advance, Construction Manager shall submit a Draw
Request on or before the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month for
which an Advance is requested, and if Construction Manager submits such Draw
Request by such fifth (5th) day of the month, then Owner shall make the Advance
as requested in such Draw Request to the party(ies) designated by Construction
Manager on the fifteenth (15th) day of that month (subject to the conditions to
funding described in Section 9 above). The Advances shall be made to parties
identified by Construction Manager, which parties may include Construction
Manager. At the option of Construction Manager, Owner shall make such Advances
to one (1) or more parties. If the fifteenth (15th) day is not a business day,
then the Advance shall take place on the next succeeding business day.
(b) Retainage. There shall be a retention policy for requests for
---------
disbursement of Advances to pay the hard construction costs related to the
Improvements (i.e., amounts owed to contractors and subcontractors, including
overhead and profit). Ten percent (10%) of the value of the work performed or
materials supplied shall be retained until the Improvements are fifty percent
(50%) completed and five (5%) thereafter. All retainage shall be paid upon
payment of the Final Advance; provided, however, that at the request of
Construction Manager portions of such retainage may be released prior to the
Final Advance to pay the balance of any funds retained from a subcontractor if
such subcontractor has satisfactorily completed all of its work on the
Improvements and delivers to Construction Manager simultaneously with the
payment of such retainage an Unconditional Waiver and Release Upon Final Payment
as set forth in California Civil Code Section 3262 showing no disputed amounts.
(c) Lien Waivers. Owner agrees to execute lien waivers in form and
------------
substance satisfactory to Owner in favor of equipment lessors providing

------------
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under law, such term or provision,
or part thereof, shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and the remaining
terms and provisions shall remain unaffected thereby and shall remain in full
force and effect.
17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and
-------------
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

ARTICLE I
---------
COVENANTS OF TRUSTOR
--------------------
SECTION 1.01 Insurance.
---------
(a) Casualty Insurance.
------------------
Trustor will keep the Premises insured at all times at no cost to Beneficiary
for the benefit of Trustee and Beneficiary to the extent and in the manner
described in the Master Lease and for the coverages described in the Master
Lease, naming Trustee and Beneficiary as loss payees or additional insureds, as
appropriate.
SECTION 1.02 Damage and Destruction.
----------------------
(a) Trustor's Obligations.
---------------------
In the event of any material damage to or loss or material destruction of the
Land or Improvements, Trustor shall promptly notify Beneficiary of such event.
(b) Beneficiary's Rights; Application of Proceeds.
---------------------------------------------
In the event that any portion of the Land or Improvements is so damaged,
destroyed or lost, and any such damage, destruction or loss is covered, in whole
or in part, by insurance described in Section 1.01, then the following
------------
provisions shall apply:
(1) If an Event of Default has occurred hereunder and is continuing,
(i) Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not
made promptly by Trustor, and Beneficiary is hereby authorized and empowered by
Trustor to settle, adjust or compromise any claims for damage, destruction or
loss thereunder, and (ii) each insurance company concerned is hereby authorized
and directed to make payment therefor directly to Beneficiary, to be applied, at
Beneficiary's option, to the Obligations then secured hereby, in such order as
Beneficiary may determine in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise required by
law, such application to the Obligations by Beneficiary of such payments shall
not, by itself, cure or waive any Event of Default hereunder or notice of
default under this Deed of Trust or any other Transaction Document or invalidate
any act done pursuant to such notice.
(2) If no Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing,
and if such proceeds are reasonably expected to be $500,000 or less, Trustor
shall be entitled to receive all such proceeds provided that Trustor applies
such proceeds to the restoration, replacement, and rebuilding of that portion of
the Land or Improvements so damaged, destroyed or lost in accordance with the
provisions of the Master Lease.
5
(3) If such proceeds are reasonably expected to exceed $500,000 and if
an Event of Default has not occurred hereunder or has occurred but is not
continuing, then if Trustor elects not to restore the damage, the insurance
proceeds shall be paid to the Beneficiary and applied to the reduction of the
Obligations. If Trustor elects to restore the damage, the proceeds in excess of
$500,000 shall be paid to the Escrow Agent (as defined in Article 17 of the
----------
Master Lease) and Beneficiary shall apply all such insurance proceeds to the
restoration, replacement and rebuilding of the damaged portion of the Premises,
and such restoration, replacement and rebuilding shall be accomplished, upon
satisfaction of each and all of the conditions, if any, in Sections 17.3(b) and
--------------------
(d) of the Master Lease. The amounts less than $500,000 shall be paid directly
---
to Trustor.
(c) Effect on the Indebtedness.
--------------------------
Any reduction in the Obligations resulting from the application to the
Obligations of insurance proceeds shall be deemed to take effect only on the
date of receipt by Beneficiary of such proceeds; provided that if prior to the
receipt by Beneficiary of such proceeds, the Mortgaged Property shall have been
sold on foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, or shall have been transferred by
deed in lieu of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, notwithstanding any
limitation on Trustor's liability contained herein or the other Transaction
Documents, Beneficiary shall have the right to receive the same to the extent of
any deficiency following such sale or conveyance, together with attorneys' fees
and disbursements incurred by Trustee and Beneficiary in connection with the
collection thereof. After payment in full of all Obligations, any excess
insurance proceeds shall be delivered to Trustor for disposition in the manner
set forth in the Master Lease.
SECTION 1.03 Condemnation.
------------
(a) Trustor's Obligations; Proceedings.
----------------------------------
Trustor, promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any pending or threatened
institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Land or Improvements,
or any part thereof or interest therein, or of any right of eminent domain, or
of any other proceedings arising out of injury or damage to or decrease in the

or any part thereof or interest therein (collectively referred to herein as

If the amount of all compensation, awards, proceeds and other payments or
relief in connection with such condemnation, including without limitation
proceeds of sale in lieu of Condemnation, made or granted to Trustor
(collectively the "Proceeds") is in excess of $500,000, all Proceeds and all
judgments, decrees and awards for injury or damage to the Land and Improvements
are hereby assigned to Beneficiary and shall be paid to Beneficiary to be held
and disbursed as hereinafter set forth. Trustor agrees to execute and deliver
such further assignments thereof as Beneficiary may request to effectuate the
foregoing and authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive the same for
disbursement as hereinafter set forth.
(c) Application of Proceeds - Total Taking.
--------------------------------------
In the event of a Condemnation of all or substantially all of the Land and
Improvements or, without regard to the portion of the Land
6
and Improvements subject to Condemnation, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred hereunder and be continuing:
(1) Beneficiary shall be entitled to all Proceeds of such Condemnation
made or granted to Trustor and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing shall be entitled, at Beneficiary's option, to commence, appear in
and prosecute in its own name any action or proceedings. All such Proceeds
shall be deemed assigned to Beneficiary to the extent of any sums then secured
by this Deed of Trust, and Trustor agrees to execute such further assignments of
the Proceeds as Beneficiary or Trustee may require.
(2) Beneficiary shall apply all such Proceeds, after deducting
therefrom all costs and expenses (regardless of the particular nature thereof
and whether incurred with or without suit), including reasonable attorneys'
fees, incurred by it in connection with the collection of such Proceeds, to the
Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, in such order as Beneficiary may
determine in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise required by applicable law,
such application or release shall not, by itself, cure or waive any Event of
Default hereunder or notice of default under this Deed of Trust or any other
Transaction Document or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. After
payment in full of all Obligations, any excess Proceeds shall be delivered to
Trustor for disposition in the manner set forth in the Master Lease.
(d) Application of Proceeds - Partial Taking.
----------------------------------------
If an Event of Default shall not have occurred hereunder and be continuing and
in the event of a Condemnation of less than all or substantially all of the Land
and/or Improvements, the following provisions shall apply:
(1) In the event that such Proceeds are in an amount less than
$500,000, Trustor shall be entitled to receive all such Proceeds provided that
Trustor applies such Proceeds to the payment of the costs and expenses of
repairing and restoring the Land and Improvements only to the extent necessary
to repair and restore the same.
(2) In the event that such Proceeds are in the amount of $500,000 or
more, the Proceeds in excess of $500,000 shall be paid to and shall be disbursed
by Beneficiary in the same manner, for the same purposes and subject to the same
requirements as are applicable to insurance proceeds pursuant to the provisions
hereof.

--------------------
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder
Beneficiary shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise any claim in
connection with a Condemnation of the Land and/or Improvements in its sole
discretion. If an Event of Default shall not have occurred hereunder or has
occurred but is not continuing then: (A) Trustor may settle, adjust or
compromise any claim which is reasonably expected to be in an amount less than
$250,000; and (B) with respect to any claim which is reasonably expected to be
in the amount of $250,000 or more, Beneficiary and Trustor shall each consult
and cooperate with the other and each shall be entitled to participate in all
meetings and negotiations with respect to the settlement of such claim. Trustor
at its expense shall deliver to Beneficiary copies of all papers served in
connection with such Condemnation. Any adjustment or settlement by Trustor of
any claim which is in an amount in excess of $250,000 shall be subject to the
approval of Beneficiary.
(f) Effect on the Obligations.
-------------------------
Notwithstanding any condemnation, taking or other proceeding referred to in
this Section causing injury to or decrease in value of the Premises (including a
change in grade of any street), or any interest therein, Trustor shall continue
to pay and perform the Obligations as provided herein. Any reduction in the
Obligations resulting from the application to the Obligations of any proceeds,
judgments, decrees or awards pursuant to Section 1.03(b), (c) or (d) shall be
--------------- --- ---
deemed to take effect only on the date of receipt by Beneficiary of such
proceeds, judgments, decrees or awards; provided that if prior to the receipt by
Beneficiary of such proceeds, judgments, decrees or awards the Mortgaged
Property shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, or shall
have been transferred by deed in lieu of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust,
Beneficiary shall have the right to receive the same to the extent of any

of the Premises by Trustor, (iv) any negligence of Trustor, or any negligence or
misconduct of any lessee of the Premises, or any of their respective agents,
contractors, subcontractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees, or (v)
any accident, injury, death or damage to any person or property occurring in, on
or about the Premises or any street, drive, sidewalk, curb or passageway
adjacent thereto. Any amount payable to Trustee, Beneficiary or counsel for
Beneficiary under this Section 3.03 shall be due and payable within five (5)
days after demand therefor and receipt by Trustor of a statement from Trustee,
Beneficiary and/or counsel for Beneficiary setting forth in reasonable detail
the amount claimed and the basis therefor, and such amounts shall bear interest
at the Default Rate (as defined in Section 2.19 of the Master Lease) from and
after the date such amounts are paid by counsel for Beneficiary, Beneficiary or
Trustee until paid in full by Trustor.
(b) Trustor's obligations under this Section shall not be affected by the

otherwise, of less than all of the Mortgaged Property, this Deed of Trust shall
continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the
Mortgaged Property; or
(e) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific
performance of any of the provisions contained in the Transaction Documents; or
(f) apply for the appointment of a receiver, custodian, trustee,
liquidator or conservator of the Mortgaged Property, to be vested with the
fullest powers permitted under applicable law, as a matter of right and without
regard to or the necessity to disprove the adequacy
11
of the security for the Obligations or the solvency of Trustor or any other
person liable for the payment of the Obligations, and Trustor and each other
person so liable waives or shall be deemed to have waived such necessity and
consents or shall be deemed to have consented to such appointment; or
(g) subject to the provisions and restrictions of any applicable law,
enter upon the Premises, and exclude Trustor and its agents and servants wholly
therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise, and take
possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and all other
Mortgaged Property but not as to Trustor's business conducted thereon and
Trustor agrees to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property and of such
books, records and accounts to Trustee or Beneficiary on demand after the
happening of any Event of Default; and having and holding the same may use,
operate, manage, preserve, control and otherwise deal therewith, either
personally or by its superintendents, managers, agents, servants, attorneys or
receivers, without interference from Trustor; and upon each such entry and from
time to time thereafter may, at the expense of Trustor and the Mortgaged
Property, without interference by Trustor and as Beneficiary may deem advisable
to protect the value thereof, (i) either by purchase, repair or construction,
maintain and restore the Premises, (ii) insure or reinsure the same, (iii) make
all necessary or proper repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions,
betterments and improvements thereto and thereon, and (iv) in every such case in
connection with the foregoing have the right to exercise all rights and powers
of Trustor with respect to the Mortgaged Property, either in Trustor's name or
otherwise, including the right to make, terminate, cancel, enforce or modify
leases, obtain and evict tenants and subtenants on such terms as Beneficiary
shall deem advisable and to take any actions described in subsection (i) of this
Section; provided neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall have any right to any
property other than the Mortgaged Property and the Collateral (as defined in the
Master Lease) and shall not have the right to operate Trustor's business; or
(h) subject to the provisions and restrictions of any applicable law,
may, with or without the entrance upon the Premises, collect, receive, ▇▇▇ for
and recover in its own name all Rents and cash collateral derived from the
Premises, and after deducting therefrom all costs, expenses and liabilities of
every character incurred by Trustee and/or Beneficiary in collecting the same
and in using, operating, managing, preserving and controlling the Premises, and
otherwise in exercising Trustee's and/or Beneficiary's rights under subsection
(g) of this Section, including all amounts necessary to pay taxes, assessments,
insurance premiums and other charges in connection with the Premises, as well as
compensation for the services of Trustee and Beneficiary and their respective
attorneys, agents and employees, to apply the remainder as provided in Section
-------
4.06; or
----
(i) release any portion of the Mortgaged Property for such
consideration as Beneficiary may require without, as to the remainder of the
Mortgaged Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of
this Deed of Trust, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with
respect thereto, except to the extent that the Obligations shall have been
reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Trustee and/or
Beneficiary for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise
any other property in place thereof as Trustee and/or Beneficiary may require
without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder; or
12
(j) may take all actions permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code
of the State of California; or
(k) may take any other action, or pursue any other right or remedy, as
Trustee and/or Beneficiary may have under applicable law, and Trustor does
hereby grant the same to Trustee and Beneficiary.
In the event that Trustee and/or Beneficiary shall exercise any of the
rights or remedies set forth in subsections (g) and (h) of this Section, neither
Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be deemed to have entered upon or taken possession
of the Mortgaged Property except upon the exercise of its option to do so,
evidenced by its demand and overt act for such purpose, nor shall it be deemed a
beneficiary or mortgagee in possession by reason of such entry or taking
possession, unless applicable law requires that it be deemed to be a beneficiary
or mortgagee in possession. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be liable to
account for any action taken pursuant to any such exercise other than for rents
actually received by such party, nor liable for any loss sustained by Trustor
resulting from any failure to let the Premises, or from any other act or
omission of Trustee and/or Beneficiary, except to the extent such loss is caused
by the willful misconduct or bad faith of such party or such liability may not
be waived under applicable law. Trustor hereby consents to, ratifies and
confirms the exercise by Trustee and/or Beneficiary of said rights and remedies.
SECTION 4.03 Trustor's Personal Property and Trade Fixtures.
----------------------------------------------
Trustor shall be entitled up to twenty (20) days after the consummation of a
foreclosure sale hereunder to enter the Mortgaged Property during normal
business hours for the purpose of removing its personal property and trade
fixtures therefrom at its expense, provided that it repairs only damage to the
Mortgaged Property caused by such removal.
SECTION 4.04 Expenses.
--------
If as a result of an Event of Default by Trustor any action is commenced to
foreclose this Deed of Trust, or to enforce any other remedy of Trustee and/or
Beneficiary under any of the Transaction Documents, whether such action is
judicial or pursuant to the power of sale contained herein or otherwise, there
shall be added to the Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, plus interest thereon at the
Default Rate (as defined in Section 2.19 of the Master Lease) until paid, in
------------
the commencement and prosecution of such action, whether or not such action
results in a foreclosure sale, foreclosure or other judicial decree or judgment.
SECTION 4.05 Rights Pertaining to Sales.
--------------------------
Subject to the provisions or other requirements of law, the following
provisions shall apply to any sale or sales of the Mortgaged Property under or
by virtue of this Article IV following an Event of Default by Trustor, whether
----------
made under the power of sale herein granted or by virtue of judicial proceedings
or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale:
(a) Trustee, at the request of Beneficiary, may conduct any number of
sales from time to time. The power of sale set forth in Section 4.02(d) hereof
---------------
shall not be exhausted by any one or more such sales as to any part of the
Mortgaged Property which shall not have been sold, nor by any sale which is not
completed or is defective in Trustee's or Beneficiary's opinion, until the
Obligations shall have been paid in full.
13
(b) Any sale may be postponed or adjourned by public announcement at
the time and place appointed for such sale or for such postponed or adjourned
sale without further notice.
(c) After each sale, Trustee, or an officer of any court empowered to
do so, shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale a
good and sufficient instrument or instruments granting, conveying, assigning and
transferring all right, title and interest of Trustor in and to the Mortgaged
Property and rights sold and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales
and apply the same as herein provided. Upon an Event of Default by Trustor,
Trustee is hereby appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Trustor,
which appointment is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an
interest, in Trustor's name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances,
assignments, transfers and deliveries of the property and rights so sold, and
for that purpose Trustee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance,
assignment, transfer and delivery, and may substitute one or more persons with
like power, Trustor hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney or
such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue thereof.
Nevertheless, Trustor, if requested by Trustee or Beneficiary, shall ratify and
confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Trustee or such
purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in Trustee's
or Beneficiary's judgment, for the purposes as may be designated in such
request.
(d) Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any of
the instruments referred to in subsection (c) of this Section given by Trustee
and/or Beneficiary as to nonpayment of the Obligations, or as to the occurrence
of any Event of Default, or as to Beneficiary having declared all or any of the
Obligations to be due and payable, or as to the request to sell, or as to notice
of time, place and terms of sale and of the property or rights to be sold having
been duly given, or as to the refusal, failure or inability to act of Trustee,
or as to the appointment of any substitute or successor Trustee, or as to any
other act or thing having been duly done by Trustor, Beneficiary, or by such
Trustee, shall be taken as conclusive and binding against all persons as to
evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited. Trustee and/or
Beneficiary may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform
any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale so held, including the posting
of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and behalf of Trustee or
Beneficiary, as applicable.
(e) The receipt by Trustee of the purchase money paid at any such
sale, or the receipt by any other person authorized to receive the same, shall
be sufficient to discharge to any purchaser of any property or rights sold as
aforesaid, and no such purchaser, or its representatives, grantees or assigns,
after paying such purchase price and receiving such receipt, shall be bound to
see to the application of such purchase price of any part thereof upon or for
any trust or purpose of this Deed of Trust or, in any manner whatsoever, be
answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application of any such purchase
money, or part thereof, or be bound to inquire as to the authorization,
necessity, expediency or regularity of any such sale.
(f) Any such sale or sales shall operate to divest all of the estate,
right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in
equity, of Trustor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a
perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Trustor
14
and any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof
or any interest therein, by, through or under Trustor to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.
(g) Upon any such sale or sales, Beneficiary may bid for and acquire
the Mortgaged Property and Beneficiary, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may
make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the Obligations the
amount of the bid made therefor, after deducting therefrom the expenses of the
sale, the cost of any enforcement proceeding hereunder and any other sums which
Trustee or Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under the terms hereof, to the
extent necessary to satisfy such bid.
(h) In the event that Trustor, or any person claiming by, through or
under Trustor, shall transfer or refuse or fail to surrender possession of the
Mortgaged Property after any sale thereof, then Trustor, or such person shall be
deemed a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser at such sale, subject to eviction
by means of forcible entry and detainer proceedings, or subject to any other
right or remedy available hereunder or under applicable law.
(i) Upon any such sale, it shall not be necessary for Trustee,
Beneficiary or any public officer acting under execution or order of court to
have present or constructively in its possession any of the Mortgaged Property.
(j) In the event of any sale referred to in this Section, the entire
Obligations, if not previously due and payable, immediately thereupon shall,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the other Transaction
Documents, become due and payable.
(k) In the event a foreclosure hereunder shall be commenced by Trustee
at the request of Beneficiary, Trustee or Beneficiary may at any time before the
sale of the Mortgaged Property abandon the sale, and may, subject to Article
VIII hereof, institute suit for the collection of the Obligations and for the
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, or in the event that Trustee or Beneficiary
should institute a suit for collection of the Obligations, and for the
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may at any time before the entry
of final judgment in said suit dismiss the same and sell or require Trustee to
sell the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of
Trust.
SECTION 4.06 Application of Proceeds.
-----------------------
The purchase money, proceeds of any sale referred to in Section 4.05, together
------------
with any other sums which may be held by Trustee or Beneficiary hereunder,
whether under the provisions of this Article IV or otherwise, shall, except as
----------
herein expressly provided to the contrary, be applied as follows:
First: To the payment of the costs and expenses of any such sale,
-----
including compensation to Trustee and/or Beneficiary, their agents and
counsel, and of any judicial proceeding wherein the same may be made, and
of all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Trustee
and/or Beneficiary hereunder, together with interest thereon as provided
herein, and all taxes, assessments and other charges, except any taxes,
assessments or other charges subject to which the Mortgaged Property shall
have been sold.
15
Second: To the payment in full of the Obligations (including interest and
------
fees) in such order as Beneficiary may elect.
Third: To the payment of any other sums secured hereunder or required to
-----
be paid by Trustor pursuant to any provision of the Transaction Documents.
Fourth: To the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomsoever may be
------
lawfully entitled to receive the same.
SECTION 4.07 Additional Provisions as to Remedies.
------------------------------------
(a) No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or
Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each
and every such right or remedy shall be cumulative and continuing, shall be in
addition to every other right or remedy given hereunder, or under the other
Transaction Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, and may
be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by
Trustee or Beneficiary.
(b) No delay or omission by Trustee or Beneficiary to exercise any
right or remedy hereunder upon any default or Event of Default shall impair such
exercise, or be construed to be a waiver of any such default or Event of Default
or an acquiescence therein.
(c) The failure, refusal or waiver by Trustee or Beneficiary of its
right to assert any right or remedy hereunder upon any default or Event of
Default or other occurrence shall not be construed as waiving such right or
remedy upon any other or subsequent default or Event of Default or other
occurrence.
(d) Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall have any obligation to
pursue any rights or remedies they may have under any other agreement prior to
pursuing their rights or remedies hereunder or under the other Transaction
Documents.
(e) No recovery of any judgment by Trustee or Beneficiary and no levy
of an execution upon the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Trustor
shall affect, in any manner or to any extent, the lien of this Deed of Trust
upon the Mortgaged Property, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Trustee
or Beneficiary hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall
continue unimpaired as before.
(f) Beneficiary may resort or cause Trustee to resort to any security
given by this Deed of Trust or any other security now given or hereafter
existing to secure the Obligations, in whole or in part, in such portions and in
such order as Beneficiary may deem advisable, and no such action shall be
construed as a waiver of any of the liens, rights or benefits granted hereunder.
(g) Acceptance of any payment after the occurrence of any default or
Event of Default shall not be deemed a waiver or a cure of such default or Event
of Default, and acceptance of any payment less than any amount then due shall be
deemed an acceptance on account only.
16
(h) In the event that Trustee or Beneficiary shall have proceeded to
enforce any right or remedy hereunder by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise,
and such proceeding shall be discontinued, abandoned or determined adversely for
any reason, then Trustor, Trustee and Beneficiary shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Mortgaged Property,
subject to the lien hereof.
(i) In every instance when a receiver is appointed with respect to all
or any portion of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 4.02(f) above or
---------------
otherwise, at Beneficiary's discretion, the receiver shall be authorized, among
other such duties and powers as may be ordered or granted by the court, to take
possession of the Mortgaged Property; to manage, control and protect the
Mortgaged Property; to collect the rents, issues, profits, revenues, earnings
and income arising therefrom, and to apply the same toward the payment of
reasonable expenses, including reasonable management and operating expenses,
taxes, assessments, utilities, mortgage payments and insurance premiums of or in
connection with the Mortgaged Property; to maintain the Mortgaged Property in a
reasonable state of repair so that there will be no excessive depreciation or
devaluation thereof arising from lack of prudent management; to enter into such
lease agreements or rental agreements with new tenants for the Mortgaged
Property as such receiver deems reasonable and prudent; to amend, extend or
renew existing leases upon such terms as such receiver deems reasonable and
prudent; to, if necessary, retain a property management firm to assist in such
duties upon such terms as such receiver deems reasonable and appropriate; and to
take such other action as is necessary in order to provide services to the
tenants under any existing or future leases or as is necessary to accomplish any
of the foregoing.
SECTION 4.08 Waiver of Rights and Defenses.
-----------------------------
To the full extent Trustor may lawfully do so, Trustor agrees with
Beneficiary as follows:
(a) Trustor will not at any time, insist on, plead, claim or take the
benefit or advantage of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in force
providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or
redemption, or of any statute of limitations, and Trustor, for itself and its
heirs, devises, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all
persons ever claiming an interest in the Mortgaged Property (other than
Beneficiary) hereby, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives and
releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, notice of intention
to mature or declare due the whole of the Obligations, and all rights to a
marshalling of the assets of Trustor, including the Mortgaged Property, or to a
sale in inverse order of alienation, in the event of foreclosure of the liens
and security interests created hereunder; provided, however, that Trustor is not
hereby waiving any right it may have to claim that it is not in default
hereunder or under any Transaction Document.
(b) Trustor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule
of law pertaining to any of the matters set forth in subsection (a) of this
Section, to the administration of estates of decedents or to any other matters
whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect any of the rights or remedies of Trustee
and Beneficiary hereunder, including the rights of Trustee and/or Beneficiary
hereunder to a sale of the Mortgaged Property for the collection of the
Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or to the
payment of the Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Mortgaged Property
in preference to any other person.
17
(c) If any statute or rule of law referred to in this Section and now in
force, of which Trustor or any of its representatives, successors or assigns and
such other persons claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property might take
advantage despite this Section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in
force, such statute or rule of law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude
the application of this Section.
(d) Trustor shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay the Obligations
at the time and in the manner provided herein and in the other Transaction
Documents, nor shall the lien or priority of this Deed of Trust or any other
Transaction Documents be impaired by any of the following actions, non-actions
or indulgences by Trustee or Beneficiary:
(i) any failure or refusal by Trustee or Beneficiary to comply with
any request by Trustor (X) to consent to any action by Trustor or (Y) to
take any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any of
the provisions hereof or of the other Transaction Documents;
(ii) any release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any
part of the Mortgaged Property or any other security for the Obligations,
or any person liable for payment of the Obligations;
(iii) any waiver by Beneficiary of compliance by Trustor with any
provision of this Deed of Trust or the other Transaction Documents, or
consent by Beneficiary to the performance by Trustor of any action which
would otherwise be prohibited thereunder, or to the failure by Trustor to
take any action which would otherwise be required hereunder or thereunder;
and
(iv) any agreement or stipulation between Trustee or Beneficiary and
Trustor, or, with or without Trustor's consent, between Trustee or
Beneficiary and any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or
any other security for these Obligations, renewing, extending or modifying
the time of payment or the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other
Transaction Documents (including a modification of any interest rate), and
in any such event Trustor shall continue to be obligated to pay the
Obligations at the time and in the manner provided herein and in the other
Transaction Documents, as so renewed, extended or modified, unless
expressly released and discharged by Beneficiary.
(e) Regardless of consideration, and without the necessity for any notice
to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien, encumbrance, right, title
or interest in or to the Mortgaged Property, Beneficiary may release any person
at any time liable for the payment of the Obligations or any portion thereof or
any part of the security held for the Obligations and may extend the time of
payment or otherwise modify the terms of this Deed of Trust or of any of the
Transaction Documents, without in any manner impairing or affecting this Deed of
Trust, as so extended and modified, as security for the Obligations over any
such subordinate lien, encumbrance, right, title or interest. Beneficiary may
resort for the payment of the Obligations to any other security held by
Beneficiary (or any trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary) in such order and
manner as Beneficiary in its discretion, may elect. Beneficiary may take or
cause to be taken action to recover the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or
to enforce any provision hereof or of
18
the other Transaction Documents without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary
thereafter to foreclose or cause to be foreclosed this Deed of Trust.
Beneficiary shall not be limited exclusively to the right and remedies herein
stated but shall be entitled to every additional right and remedy now or
hereafter afforded by law or equity. The rights of Trustee and Beneficiary under
this Deed of Trust shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be
given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Trustee and/or
Beneficiary shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision
herein to the exclusion of any other provision.
SECTION 4.09 Exercise by Trustee.
-------------------
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Trustee (a) shall not
exercise, or waive the exercise of, any of its rights or remedies under this
Article (other than its right to reimbursement) except upon the request of
Beneficiary, and (b) shall exercise, or waive the exercise of, any or all of
such rights or remedies upon the request of Beneficiary and at the direction of
Beneficiary as to the manner of such exercise or waiver, provided that Trustee
shall have the right to decline to follow any of such request or direction if
Trustee shall be advised by counsel that the action or proceeding, or manner
thereof, so directed may not lawfully be taken or waived.
SECTION 4.10 Rights of Beneficiary.
---------------------
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Beneficiary shall
not be entitled to exercise any of its remedies under Article IV hereof upon any

an Event of Default has occurred under Section 4.01 hereof.
------------
ARTICLE V.
----------

----------
SECTION 5.01 Defeasance.
----------
If all of the Obligations shall be paid as the same become due and payable,
then and in that event only all rights hereunder shall terminate and the
Mortgaged Property shall become wholly released and cleared of the liens,
security interests, conveyances and assignments evidenced hereby, upon receipt
by Beneficiary of payment of all Obligations secured hereby. In such event
Trustee shall at the request of the Trustor, promptly deliver to Trustor, in
recordable form, all such documents as shall be necessary to release the
Mortgaged Property from the liens, security interests, conveyances and
assignments created or evidenced hereby. Notwithstanding anything in the
preceding sentence to the contrary, Trustee shall so release the Mortgaged
Property only upon the direction of Beneficiary.
ARTICLE VI
----------
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
---------------------
SECTION 6.01 Provisions as to Payments, Advances.
-----------------------------------
(a) To the extent that any part of the Obligations is used to pay
indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or
encumbrance against the Mortgaged Property that is superior to this Deed of
Trust, or to pay in whole or in part the purchase price therefor, Trustee and
Beneficiary shall be subrogated to any and all rights, security interests and
19
liens held by any owner or holder of the same, whether or not the same are
released. Trustor agrees that, in consideration of such payment by Trustee or
Beneficiary, effective upon such payment Trustor shall and hereby does waive and
release all demands, defenses and causes of action for offsets and payments with
respect to the same.
(b) Any payment made under this Deed of Trust by any person at any time
liable for the payment of the Obligations, or by any subsequent owner of the
Mortgaged Property or by any person or entity that might be prejudiced in the
event of a failure to make such payment, or by any partner, stockholder, officer
or director thereof, shall be deemed, as between Trustee or Beneficiary and all
such persons, to have been made on behalf of all such persons.
SECTION 6.02 Usury Savings Clause.
--------------------
All agreements in this Deed of Trust and in the other Transaction Documents
are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by
reason of advancement or acceleration of maturity of the Obligations, or
otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid hereunder for the use,
forbearance or detention of money exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under
applicable usury laws, if any. If, from any circumstance whatsoever,
fulfillment of any provision of the Transaction Documents, at the time
performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit
of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem
applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
---- -----
reduced to the limit of such validity and if, from any circumstance whatsoever,
Beneficiary shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the
highest lawful rate, the receipt of such excess shall be deemed a mistake and
shall be cancelled automatically or, if theretofore paid, such excess shall be
credited against the Obligations to which the same may lawfully be credited, and
any portion of such excess not capable of being so credited shall be rebated to
Trustor.
SECTION 6.03 Separability.
------------
If all or any portion of any provision of this Deed of Trust or the other
Transaction Documents shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, then such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provision hereof or thereof, and such provision shall be
limited and construed in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision or portion thereof were not contained herein or therein.
SECTION 6.04 Notices.
-------
Each notice shall be in writing and shall be sent by personal delivery,
overnight courier (charges prepaid or billed to the sender) or by the deposit of
such with the United States Postal Service, or any official successor thereto,
designated as registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, bearing
adequate postage and in each case addressed as provided below in this paragraph.
Each notice shall be effective upon being personally delivered or actually
received. The time period in which a response to any such notice must be given
or any action taken with respect thereto shall commence to run from the date of
personal delivery or receipt of the notice by the addressee thereof, as
reflected on the return receipt of the notice. Rejection or other refusal to
accept shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice sent. By giving to the other
party at least thirty (30) days prior notice thereof, either party to the Master
Lease shall have the right from time to time to change the address(es) thereof
and to specify as the address(es) thereof any other address(es) within the
continental United States of America.

SECTION 7.01 Trustee's Appointment.
---------------------
Trustee accepts this Trust when this Deed of Trust, duly executed and
acknowledged, is made public record as provided by law. Trustee may resign by
an instrument in writing addressed to Beneficiary, or Trustee may be removed at
any time with or without cause by an instrument in writing executed by
Beneficiary and duly recorded. In case of the death, resignation, removal or
disqualification of Trustee or if for any reason Beneficiary shall deem it
desirable to appoint a substitute or successor trustee to act instead of Trustee
herein named or any substitute or successor Trustee, then Beneficiary shall have
the right and is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint a successor Trustee,
or a substitute Trustee, without other formality than appointment and
designation in writing executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary and the
recordation of such writing in the office where this Deed of Trust is recorded,
and the authority hereby conferred shall extend to the appointment of other
successor and substitute Trustees successively until the Obligations are paid in
full or until the Mortgaged Property are sold hereunder. Such appointment and
designation by Beneficiary shall be full evidence of the right and authority to
make the same and of all facts therein recited. If such appointment is executed
on behalf of Beneficiary by an officer of Beneficiary, such appointment shall be
conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and
sufficient without proof of any action by the Trustee or any superior officer of
Beneficiary. Upon the making of such appointment and designation, all of the
estate and title of Trustee in the Mortgaged Property shall vest in the named
successor or substitute Trustee and it shall thereupon succeed to and shall
hold, possess and execute all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and
duties herein conferred upon Trustee; but, nevertheless, upon the written
request of Beneficiary or of the successor or substitute Trustee, Trustee
ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor or substitute Trustee all of the estate and title in the Mortgaged
Property of Trustee so ceasing to act, together with all the rights, powers,
privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee, and shall duly
assign, transfer and deliver any of the properties and moneys held by said
Trustee hereunder to said successor or substitute Trustee. All references
herein to Trustee shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including any successor
or substitute, appointed and designated, as herein provided) from time to time
acting hereunder. Trustor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which
Trustee herein named or its successor or successors, substitute or substitutes,
in this Deed of Trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof.
