Section 2.06. Compliance with Instruments
. Borrower, at its expense, will promptly comply
with all rights of way or use, privileges, franchises, servitudes, licenses, easements, tenements,

consent so long as such additions do not diminish the value of the Property. If Lender consents to
any alterations or additions to the Property, such alterations or additions shall be made at

title and interest of Borrower in and to all property provided or required by this Instrument to be
subject to the Lien hereof.
Section 2.10. Assignment of Rents and Leases
.
(a) The assignment, grant and conveyance of the Leases, Rents and all other rents,
income, proceeds and benefits of the Collateral contained in the granting clause of this
Instrument shall constitute an absolute, present and irrevocable assignment, grant and
conveyance, provided that, until an Event of Default has occurred, a license is hereby given
to Borrower to collect, receive and apply Rents, as they become due and payable, but not in
advance thereof, and in accordance with all of the other terms, conditions and provisions
hereof and of the Leases, contracts, agreements and other instruments with respect to which
such payments are made. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such license shall be
revoked and shall terminate, immediately and automatically without notice to Borrower or any
other person (to the extent permitted by law), and shall not be reinstated upon a cure of
such Event of Default without the express written consent of Lender. Such assignment shall
be fully effective without any further action on the part of Borrower or Lender, and Lender
shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, to
collect, receive and apply all Rents and all other rents, income, proceeds and benefits from
the Collateral, including all right, title and interest of Borrower in any escrowed sums or
deposits or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether or not Lender takes possession
of the Collateral or any part thereof. The collection of such amounts by Lender shall in no
way waive the right of Lender to foreclose this Instrument in the event of any Event of
Default. Nothing contained herein and no exercise of any right or privilege hereunder by
Lender shall be construed to constitute Lender as a mortgagee-in-possession. All Rents and
all other rents, income, proceeds and benefits of the Collateral received by Borrower from
or related to the Collateral or any part thereof, from and after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, shall be deemed received in trust and shall be turned over to Lender within one
Business Day after Borrowers receipt thereof. Borrower further grants to Lender the right,
at Lenders option, to:
(i) enter upon and take possession of the Property for the purpose of
collecting Rents and all other rents, income, proceeds and other benefits;
(ii) dispossess by the customary summary proceedings any Tenant, purchaser or
other person defaulting in the payment of any amount when and as due and payable, or
in the performance of any other obligation, under the Leases, contract or other
instrument to which said Rents or other rents, income, proceeds or benefits relate;
(iii) let or convey the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest
therein; and
(iv) apply Rents and such other rents, income, proceeds and benefits, after the
payment of all necessary fees, charges and expenses, on account of the Secured
Obligations in accordance with Section 3.03.
(v) Lender shall be under no obligation to exercise or prosecute any of the
rights or claims assigned to it hereunder or to perform or carry out any of the
obligations of the lessor under any of the Leases and does not assume any of the
liabilities in connection with or arising or growing out of the covenants and
agreements of Borrower in the Leases. It is further understood that the assignment
granted hereunder shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care,
management or repair of the Property, or parts thereof, upon Lender, nor shall it
operate to make Lender liable for the performance of any of the terms and conditions
of any of the Leases, or for any waste of the Property by any Tenant under any of
the Leases or any other person, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the
Property or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the
Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any lessee, licensee, employee or
stranger.
8
(b) Borrower represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with Lender that, other than as
set forth on Schedule 3, there are no existing Leases, and Borrower will not enter into any
other Lease without the prior written consent of Lender.
(c) Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with power of substitution and with full power for Lender in its own name and capacity or in
the name and capacity of Borrower, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, to demand, collect, receive and give complete acquittances for any
and all Rents accruing from the Property that Lender may deem necessary or desirable in
order to collect and enforce the payment of the Rents and to demand, correct, receive,
endorse, and deposit all checks, drafts, money orders or notes given in payment of such
Rents. Such appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Lender shall not
be liable for or prejudiced by any loss of any note, checks, drafts, etc., unless such loss
shall have been found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been due to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Borrower also hereby irrevocably appoints
Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to appear in any state or federal bankruptcy,
insolvency, or reorganization proceeding in any state or federal court involving any of the
Tenants of the Leases. Lessees of the Property are hereby expressly authorized and
directed, from and after service of a notice by Lender to pay any and all amounts due
Borrower pursuant to the Leases to Lender or such nominee as Lender may designate in writing
delivered to and received by such Tenants, and such Tenants are expressly relieved of any
and all duty, liability or obligation to Borrower in respect of all payments so made.
Section 2.11. No Claims Against Lender
. Nothing contained in this Instrument shall
constitute any consent or request by Lender, express or implied, for the performance of any labor
or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part
thereof, or be construed to permit the making of any claim against Lender in respect of labor or
services or the furnishing of any materials or other property or any claim that any Lien based on
the performance of such labor or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to
the Lien of this Instrument. Borrower shall make all contractors, subcontractors, vendors and
other persons dealing with the Property, or with any persons interested therein, take notice of the
provisions of this Section.
Section 2.12. Indemnification
.
(a) Whether or not covered by insurance, Borrower hereby assumes responsibility for and
agrees to reimburse Lender, its affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors,
employees and agents (individually and collectively, the Indemnified Parties) for and will
indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, suits, actions, proceedings,
judgments, awards, amounts paid in settlements, debts, diminutions in value, fines,

Material Adverse Effect.

made available by Borrower or Guarantor in any manner to any other person to enable or
assist such person in, directly or indirectly purchasing or carrying margin stock. Terms

Section 4.02. Acceleration
. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an
Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in
writing by Lender) described in subsection (d) of Section 4.01, all of the outstanding principal
amount of the Secured Obligations shall be due and payable, whereupon the full unpaid amount of
such Secured Obligations which shall be so declared due and payable shall be and become immediately
due and payable, without presentment, notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. Following the occurrence of any other Event
of Default (other than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed
as having been cured in writing by Lender), Lender may, by notice to Borrower, declare all or any
portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable,
whereupon the full unpaid amount of the Loan and other Secured Obligations which shall be so
declared due and payable shall be and become immediately due and payable, without presentment,
notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived
by Borrower. Borrower will pay on demand all costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of one counsel, incurred by or on behalf of Lender in
enforcing this Instrument, the Secured Obligations or the Loan Documents or occasioned by any Event
of Default hereunder or thereunder.
Section 4.03. Legal Proceedings; Foreclosure
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
(other than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having
been cured in writing by Lender), Lender at any time may, at Lenders sole discretion, proceed at
law or in equity or otherwise to enforce the payment of the Obligations and the Trustee shall have
the right to foreclose the Lien of this Instrument as against all or any part of the Collateral and
to have the same sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Lender
and/or Trustee shall be entitled to recover in such proceedings all costs incident thereto,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses in such amounts as may be
fixed by the court.
Section 4.04. Power of Sale
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred (other than an Event
of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in writing
by Lender), the Trustee or Lender may (as permitted by law), at Lenders sole discretion, sell,
assign, transfer and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral, or any
interest in any part thereof, at any private sale or at public auction, with or without demand,
advertisement or notice, for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future
delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as Trustee may determine, or as may be
required by law. Without limiting the authority granted in the immediately preceding sentence,
Trustee shall, without demand on Borrower, after the lapse of such time as may then be required by
law, and notice of default and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, sell the
Collateral on the date and at the time and place designated in the notice of sale, either as a
whole or in separate parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine, but subject to any
statutory right of Borrower to direct the order in which such property, if consisting of several
known lots, parcels or interests, shall be sold, at public auction to the highest bidder, the
purchase price payable in lawful money of the United States at the time of sale. Trustee, or the
one conducting the sale may, for any cause deemed expedient, postpone the sale from time to time
until it shall be completed and, in every such case, notice of postponement shall be given by
public declaration thereof by such person at the time and place last appointed for the sale;
provided that, if the sale is postponed for longer than 10 days beyond the day designated in the
notice of sale, notice of sale and notice of the time, date and place of sale shall be given in the
same manner as the original notice of sale. Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser at
any such sale a deed conveying the property so sold, but without any
covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts
shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Lender, may bid at
the sale.
18
Section 4.05. Deficiency
. In the event of any foreclosure, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, Lender will be entitled to a judgment which will provide that if the foreclosure
sale proceeds are insufficient to satisfy the judgment, execution may issue for any amount by which
the unpaid balance of the Secured Obligations exceeds the net sale proceeds payable to Lender.
Section 4.06. UCC Remedies
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred (other than an Event
of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in writing
by Lender), Lender may exercise from time to time and at any time any rights and remedies available
to it under applicable law upon default in the payment of indebtedness, including, without
limitation, any right or remedy available to it as a secured party under the UCC. Borrower shall,
promptly upon request by Lender, assemble the Collateral, or any portion thereof generally
described in such request, and make it available to Lender at such place or places designated by
Lender and reasonably convenient to Lender. If Lender elects to proceed under the UCC to dispose
of portions of the Collateral, Lender, at its option, may give Borrower notice of the time and
place of any public sale of any such property, or of the date after which any private sale or other
disposition thereof is to be made, by sending notice by registered or certified first class mail,
postage prepaid, to Borrower at least 10 days before the time of the sale or other disposition. If
any notice of any proposed sale, assignment or transfer by Lender of any portion of the Collateral
or any interest therein is required by law, Borrower conclusively agrees that 10 days notice to
Borrower of the date, time and place thereof is reasonable.
Section 4.07. Trustee Authorized To Execute Deeds
. Borrower irrevocably appoints Trustee
(which appointment is coupled with an interest) the true and lawful attorney of Borrower, in its
name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or
delivery for the enforcement hereof, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise in
connection with enforcing this Instrument after the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than
an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in
writing by Lender), to execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, releases and
other instruments as may be designated in any such request.
Section 4.08. Purchase of Collateral by Lender
. Lender may be a purchaser of the Collateral
or of any part thereof or of any interest therein at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to power of
sale, foreclosure or otherwise, and Lender may apply to the purchase price thereof the Secured
Obligations.
Section 4.09. Receipt a Sufficient Discharge to Purchaser
. Upon any sale of the Collateral
or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or
otherwise, the receipt of Trustee or the officer making the sale under judicial proceedings shall
be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and such purchaser shall not be
obliged to see to the application thereof.
Section 4.10. Waivers.
To the fullest extent Borrower may lawfully do so, Borrower hereby
agrees with Lender as follows:
(a) Borrower 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 Borrower, for itself and its heirs, devises, representatives, successors
and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming an interest in the Property (other
than Lender) 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 Indebtedness, and all rights to a marshaling of the assets of Borrower,
including the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation, in the event of
foreclosure of the liens and security interests created hereunder. In the event of
foreclosure pursuant to the provisions hereof, Lender may, at Lenders option, obtain an
appraisal of the Property and any funds expended by Lender for such propose shall become
indebtedness of Borrower to Lender secured by this Instrument and shall be paid by Borrower
to Lender within 10 days of demand.
19
(b) Borrower shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law
pertaining to any of the matters set forth in this Section 4.10, 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 Lender hereunder, including the rights of Trustee
and/or Lender hereunder to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Secured
Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or to the payment of the
Indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to any other person.
(c) If any statute or rule of law referred to in this Section 4.10 and now in force, of
which Borrower or any of its representatives, successors or assigns and such other persons
claiming any interest in the Property might take advantage despite this Section 4.10, 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 4.10.
(d) Borrower shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay the Secured Obligations at
the time and in the manner provided herein and in the other Loan Documents, nor shall the
lien or priority of this Instrument or any other Loan Documents be impaired by any of the
following actions, non-actions or indulgences by Trustee or Lender:
(i) any failure or refusal by Trustee or Lender to comply with any request by
Borrower (X) to consent to any action by Borrower or (Y) to take any action to
foreclose this Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of
the other Loan Documents;
(ii) any release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the
Property or any other security for the Indebtedness or any person liable for payment
of the Indebtedness;
(iii) any waiver by Lender of compliance by Borrower with any provision of this
Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or consent by Lender to the performance by
Borrower of any action which would otherwise be prohibited thereunder, or to the
failure by Borrower to take any action which would otherwise be required hereunder
or thereunder; and
(iv) any agreement or stipulation between Trustee or Lender and Borrower, or,
with or without Borrowers consent, between Trustee or Lender and any subsequent
owner or owners of the Property or any other security for the Secured Obligations,
renewing, extending or modifying the time of payment or the terms of this Instrument
or any of the other Loan Documents (including a modification of any interest rate),
and in any such event Borrower shall continue to be obligated to pay the
Indebtedness at the time and in the manner provided herein and in the other Loan
Documents, as so renewed, extended or modified, unless expressly released and
discharged by Lender.
(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
Property, Lender may release any person at any time liable for the payment of the
Indebtedness or any portion thereof or any part of the security held for the Indebtedness
and may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of this Instrument or of
any of the Loan Documents, including a modification of the interest rate payable on the
principal balance of the Note, without in any manner impairing or affecting this Instrument,
as so extended and modified, as security for the Secured Obligations under any such
subordinate lien, encumbrance, right, title or interest. Lender may resort for the payment
of the Secured Obligations to any other security held by Lender (or any trustee for the
benefit of Lender) in such order and manner as Lender in its discretion, may elect. Lender
may take or cause to be taken action to recover the Indebtedness, or any portion thereof, or
to enforce any provision hereof or of the other Loan Documents without prejudice to the
right of Lender thereafter to foreclose or cause to be foreclosed this Instrument. Lender
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 Lender under this Instrument shall be separate, distinct and
cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Trustee
and/or Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to
the exclusion of any other provision.
20
Section 4.11. Obligations to Become Due on Sale
. Upon any sale of the Collateral or any
portion thereof or interest therein by virtue of the exercise of any remedy by Lender or Trustee
under or by virtue of this Instrument, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise
in accordance with this Instrument or by virtue of any other remedy available at law or in equity
or by statute or otherwise, at the option of Lender, all Secured Obligations shall, if not
previously declared due and payable, immediately become due and payable, together with interest
accrued thereon and all other indebtedness secured by this Instrument.
Section 4.12. Application of Proceeds of Sale and Other Moneys
. The proceeds of any sale of
the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein under or by virtue of this Instrument,
whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, and all other moneys at any time held
by Lender or Trustee as part of the Collateral, shall be applied as follows:
FIRST, fees, expenses or indemnities to enforce this Instrument or then due to Lender or
Trustee;
SECOND, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any other fees, expenses or indemnities then
due to Lender;
THIRD, to pay interest due in respect of the Loan;

than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been
cured in writing by Lender), Lender shall, as a matter of right and without regard to the adequacy
of any security for the Secured Obligations secured hereby or the solvency of Borrower, be entitled
to the appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Collateral, whether such receivership
be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or otherwise, and Borrower hereby consents to
the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment.
Section 4.14. Possession, Management and Income
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
(other than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having
been cured in writing by Lender), in addition to, not in limitation of, the rights and remedies
provided in Section 2.10, Lender, upon five days notice to Borrower, may enter upon and take
possession of the Collateral or any part thereof by force, summary proceeding, ejectment or
otherwise and may remove Borrower and all other persons and any and all property therefrom and may
hold, operate, maintain, repair, preserve and manage the same and receive all earnings, income,
Rents, issues and proceeds accruing with respect thereto or any part thereof. Lender shall be
under no liability for or by reason of any such taking of possession, entry, removal or holding,
operation or management.
Section 4.15. Right of Lender to Perform Borrowers Covenants
. During the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lender, without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or
releasing any obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time
thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrower,
and may enter upon the Collateral for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Lenders
opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry and no such action shall be
deemed an eviction of any Tenant or other person with the right to use or occupy all or any portion
of the Property or any part thereof. After the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an
Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in
writing by Lender), all sums so paid by Lender and all costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest thereon at
the Default Rate from the date of payment or incurring, shall constitute additional indebtedness
secured by this Instrument and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within 10 days of demand.
21
Section 4.16. Subrogation
. To the extent that Lender, on or after the date hereof, pays any
sum due under any provision of any legal requirement or any instrument creating any Lien prior or

Collateral equal in priority to the Lien discharged, and Lender shall be subrogated to, and receive
and enjoy all rights and liens possessed, held or enjoyed by, the holder of such Lien, that shall

provided for in this Instrument or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power
or remedy provided for in this Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by
Lender or Trustee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this
Instrument, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lender or Trustee of any or all such other rights,
powers or remedies.
Section 4.18. Provisions Subject to Applicable Law
. All rights, powers and remedies provided
in this Instrument may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate
any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that
they will not render this Instrument invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded,
registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of this Instrument or
any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Instrument and any
other application of such term shall not be affected thereby.
Section 4.19. No Waiver, Compromise of Actions
. No failure by Lender to insist upon the
strict performance of any term hereof or of any other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right,
power or remedy consequent upon a breach hereof or thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such
term or of any such breach. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Instrument, which
shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
breach. By accepting payment or performance of any amount or other Secured Obligation before or
after its due date, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived its right either to require prompt
payment or performance when due of all other amounts payable hereunder and the Secured Obligations
or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment. Any action, suit or proceeding
brought by Lender pursuant to any of the terms of this Instrument, any Loan Document or otherwise,
and any claim made by Lender hereunder or thereunder may be compromised, withdrawn or otherwise
dealt with by Lender without any notice to or approval of Borrower.
Section 4.20. Provisions with Respect to the Leases
. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 4.01(m) or Section 4.01(n) (each, an Operator Default) to the contrary, a termination of
any of the Leases or the occurrence of an event of default or a breach or default (however
defined), after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods provided therefor
(the Cure Date), under any of the Leases shall not constitute and Event of Default hereunder
provided that Borrower shall have complied with the each of following conditions (collectively, the
Operator Substitution) in form and substance satisfactory to Lender:
(a) Within 45 days of the Cure Date, Borrower shall have entered a new lease (the New
Lease) with a new tenant (the New Tenant) on substantially the same terms as the Lease
subject to the Operator Default.
(b) New Tenant shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary (direct or indirect) sub of
Guarantor.
(c) New Tenants management team is substantially the same as Tenants management team.
(d) Borrower and New Tenant shall have executed such instruments, agreements and other

during the term of the Loan.
(f) No Operator Substitution under any other Mortgage (as defined in the Note) shall
have been consummated within the 18-month period immediately preceding the Operator Default.
Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions and consummation of the Operator Substitution, the
New Lease shall be deemed to be a Lease under this Instrument, and the New Tenant shall be deemed
to be a Tenant under this Instrument.
Section 4.21. Additional Provisions as to Remedies.
(a) Neither Trustee nor Lender 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 Loan Documents.
(b) No recovery of any judgment by Trustee or Lender and no levy of an execution upon
the Property or any other property of Borrower shall affect, in any manner or to any extent,
the lien of this Instrument upon the Property, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of
Trustee or Lender hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue
unimpaired as before.
(c) Lender may resort or cause Trustee to resort to any security given by this
Instrument or any other security now given or hereafter existing to secure the Secured
Obligations, in whole or in part, in such portions and in such order as Lender may deem
advisable, and no such action shall be construed as a waiver of any of the liens, rights or
benefits granted hereunder.
(d) Acceptance of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default shall not be
deemed a waiver or a cure of such Event of Default, and acceptance of any payment less than
any amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only.
(e) In the event that Trustee or Lender 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 Borrower, Trustee and
Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the
Property, subject to the lien hereof.
23
Section 4.22. Environmental Defaults and Remedies.
In the event that any portion of the
Property is determined to be environmentally impaired (as environmentally impaired is defined
in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an affected parcel (as
affected parcel is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1)), then,
without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting Lenders or Trustees rights and remedies under
this Instrument, Lender may elect to exercise its right under California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 726.5(a) to (a) waive its lien on such environmentally impaired or affected parcel portion
of the Property and (b) exercise (i) the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including
reduction of its claim against Borrower to judgment, and (ii) any other rights and remedies
permitted by law. For purposes of determining Lenders right to proceed as an unsecured creditor
under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a), Borrower shall be deemed to have
willfully permitted or acquiesced in a release or threatened release of hazardous materials, within
the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened
release of hazardous materials was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee,
occupant or user of any portion of the Property and Borrower knew or should have known of the
activity by such lessee, occupant or user which caused or contributed to the release or threatened
release. All costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys and paralegals fees
and costs and court costs incurred by Lender in connection with any action commenced under this
Section 4.22, including any action required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b)
to determine the degree to which the Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at
the Default Rate, until paid, shall be added to the Secured Obligations and shall be due and
payable to Lender upon its demand made at any time following the conclusion of such action.
Section 4.23. Request for Notice
. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 27321.5(b),
Borrower hereby requests that a copy of any notice of default and a copy of any notice of sale
given pursuant to this Instrument be mailed to Borrower at the address set forth herein above.
Section 4.24. Local Law Provisions
. In the event of any conflict between the terms and
provisions of any other section of this Instrument, the terms and provisions of this section shall
govern and continue.
(a) With or without notice, and without releasing Borrower from any obligation
hereunder, to cure any default of Borrower and, in connection therewith, Lender or its
agents, acting by themselves or through a court appointed receiver, may enter upon the
Premises or any part thereof and perform such acts and things as Lender deems necessary or
desirable to inspect, investigate, assess, and protect the security hereof, including
without limitation of any of its other rights:
(i) to obtain a court order to enforce Lenders right to enter and inspect the
Premises under Section 2929.5 of the California Civil Code, to which the decision of
Lender as to whether there exists a release or threatened release of Hazardous
Materials in or onto the Premises shall be deemed reasonable and conclusive as
between the parties hereto; and
(ii) to have a receiver appointed under Section 564 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure to enforce Lenders right to enter and inspect the Premises for
Hazardous Materials. All costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Lender with
respect to the audits, tests, inspections, and examinations which Lender or its
agents or employees may conduct, including the fees of the engineers, laboratories,
contractor, consultants, and attorneys, shall be paid by Borrower. All
reimbursement costs and expenses incurred by Trustee and Lender pursuant to this
subparagraph (including, without limitation, court costs, consultant fees and
attorneys fees, whether incurred in litigation or not and whether before or after
judgment) shall be added to the Secured Obligations and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate from the date they are incurred until said sums have been paid if not
paid within 10 days after demand.
24
(b) Lender may seek a judgment that Borrower has breached its covenants,
representations and/or warranties with respect to the environmental matters set forth in the
Environmental Indemnity Agreement or herein, by commencing and maintaining an action or
actions in any court of competent jurisdiction for breach of contract pursuant to Section
736 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, whether commenced prior to foreclosure of
the Premises, and to seek the recovery of any and all costs, damages, expenses, fees,
penalties, fines, judgments, indemnification payments to third parties, and other
out-of-pocket costs or expenses actually incurred by Lender (collectively, the
Environmental Costs)
incurred or advanced by Lender relating to the cleanup, remediation or other response
action, required by applicable law or to which Lender believes necessary to protect the
Premises, it being conclusively presumed between Lender and Borrower that all such
Environmental Costs incurred or advanced by Lender relating to the cleanup, remediation, or
other response action of or to the Premises were made by Lender in good faith. All
Environmental Costs incurred by Lender under this subparagraph (including, without
limitation, court costs, consultant fees and attorneys fees, whether incurred in litigation
or not and whether before or after judgment) shall bear interest at the Default Rate from
the date of expenditure until said sums have been paid if not paid within 10 days after
demand. Lender shall be entitled to bid, at the sale of the Premises, the amount of said
costs, expenses and interest in addition to the amount of the other obligations hereby
secured as a credit bid, the equivalent of cash.
(c) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any term or provision
contained herein or elsewhere, the Environmental Costs shall be exceptions to any limited
recourse or exculpatory provision, and Borrower shall be fully and personally liable for the
Environmental Costs hereunder, and such liability shall not be limited to the original
principal amount of the obligations secured by this Instrument, and Borrowers Premises or
this Instrument. For the purposes of any action brought under this subparagraph, Borrower
hereby waives the defense of laches and any applicable statute of limitations.
(d) Borrower hereby waives all other rights it may now or hereafter have, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing, by reason of laws of the State of California pertaining
to sureties, including without limitation all rights and defenses that are or may become
available to Borrower by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899, and 3433 of the
California Civil Code.

. Without notice to or consent of Borrower, and without
impairment of the Lien and rights created by this Instrument, Lender may accept from Borrower or
any other person additional security for the Secured Obligations. Neither the giving of this

security shall prevent Lender from resorting, first, to such additional security, or, first,

Trustee named herein, or any prior successor or substitute trustee, Lender shall have full power to

GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT-OF-LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

. Time is of the essence with respect to Borrowers obligations
under this Instrument.
Section 5.10. No Offset

covenants and warranties under this Instrument and under the other Loan Documents shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation any
setoff, counterclaim, abatement, suspension, recoupment, deduction, defense or other right that
Borrower or any guarantor may have or claim against Lender or any entity participating in making
the loan secured hereby. The foregoing provisions of this section, however, do not constitute a
waiver of any claim or demand which Borrower or any guarantor may have in damages or otherwise
against Lender or any other person, or preclude Borrower from maintaining a separate action
thereon; provided, however, that Borrower waives any right it may have at law or in equity to
consolidate such separate action with any action or proceeding brought by Lender.
Section 5.11. Severability
. Any provision of this Instrument or other Loan Documents that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions of this Instrument or such Loan Documents or affecting the validity or
unenforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

. Upon indefeasible payment in full of the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this
Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents and all other sums payable hereunder and
thereunder by Borrower or Guarantor, this Instrument shall automatically terminate and shall be
(except as provided herein) null and void and of no further force and effect, and the Collateral
shall thereupon be, and be deemed to have been, reconveyed, released and discharged from this
Instrument without further notice on the part of either Borrower or Lender, but upon the request of
Borrower, Lender, at Borrowers sole cost and expense, shall request Trustee execute a satisfaction
release or deed of reconveyance in recordable form and a termination of this Instrument and Trustee

failure to do so.
Section 2.08. Alterations, Additions
. Borrower shall not make or cause to be made any
alterations of and additions to the Property or any part thereof without prior written consent of
Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however
, that Borrower may make

. All right, title and interest of Borrower
in and to all alterations, improvements, substitutions, restorations and replacements of, and all
additions and appurtenances to, the Property hereafter acquired by Borrower, whether such property

Lien of this Instrument without further action on the part of Borrower or Lender. Upon the request
of Lender, Borrower, at its expense, will execute and deliver (and will record and file as provided
herein) an instrument or document supplemental to this Instrument satisfactory in substance and
form to Lender, whenever such an instrument or document is necessary under applicable law to
subject to the Lien of this Instrument all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all
property provided or required by this Instrument to be subject to the Lien hereof.
Section 2.10. Assignment of Rents and Leases
.
(a) The assignment, grant and conveyance of the Leases, Rents and all other rents,
income, proceeds and benefits of the Collateral contained in the granting clause of this
Instrument shall constitute an absolute, present and irrevocable assignment, grant and
conveyance, provided that, until an Event of Default has occurred, a license is hereby given
to Borrower to collect, receive and apply Rents, as they become due and payable, but not in
advance thereof, and in accordance with all of the other terms, conditions and provisions
hereof and of the Leases, contracts, agreements and other instruments with respect to which
such payments are made. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such license shall be
revoked and shall terminate, immediately and automatically without notice to Borrower or any
other person (to the extent permitted by law), and shall not be reinstated upon a cure of
such Event of Default without the express written consent of Lender. Such assignment shall
be fully effective without any further action on the part of Borrower or Lender, and Lender
shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, to
collect, receive and apply all Rents and all other rents, income, proceeds and benefits from
the Collateral, including all right, title and interest of Borrower in any escrowed sums or
deposits or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether or not Lender takes possession
of the Collateral or any part thereof. The collection of such amounts by Lender shall in no
way waive the right of Lender to foreclose this Instrument in the event of any Event of
Default. Nothing contained herein and no exercise of any right or privilege hereunder by
Lender shall be construed to constitute Lender as a mortgagee-in-possession. All Rents and
all other rents, income, proceeds and benefits of the Collateral received by Borrower from
or related to the Collateral or any part thereof, from and after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, shall be deemed received in trust and shall be turned over to Lender within one
Business Day after Borrowers receipt thereof. Borrower further grants to Lender the right,
at Lenders option, to:
(i) enter upon and take possession of the Property for the purpose of
collecting Rents and all other rents, income, proceeds and other benefits;
(ii) dispossess by the customary summary proceedings any Tenant, purchaser or
other person defaulting in the payment of any amount when and as due and payable, or
in the performance of any other obligation, under the Leases, contract or other
instrument to which said Rents or other rents, income, proceeds or benefits relate;
(iii) let or convey the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest
therein; and
(iv) apply Rents and such other rents, income, proceeds and benefits, after the
payment of all necessary fees, charges and expenses, on account of the Secured
Obligations in accordance with Section 3.03.
(v) Lender shall be under no obligation to exercise or prosecute any of the
rights or claims assigned to it hereunder or to perform or carry out any of the
obligations of the lessor under any of the Leases and does not assume any of the
liabilities in connection with or arising or growing out of the covenants and
agreements of Borrower in the Leases. It is further understood that the assignment
granted hereunder shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care,
management or repair of the Property, or parts thereof, upon Lender, nor shall it
operate to make Lender liable for the performance of any of the terms and conditions
of any of the Leases, or for
any waste of the Property by any Tenant under any of the Leases or any other
person, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any
negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in
loss or injury or death to any lessee, licensee, employee or stranger.
8
(b) Borrower represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with Lender that, other than as
set forth on Schedule 3, there are no existing Leases, and Borrower will not enter into any
other Lease without the prior written consent of Lender.
(c) Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with power of substitution and with full power for Lender in its own name and capacity or in
the name and capacity of Borrower, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, to demand, collect, receive and give complete acquittances for any
and all Rents accruing from the Property that Lender may deem necessary or desirable in
order to collect and enforce the payment of the Rents and to demand, correct, receive,
endorse, and deposit all checks, drafts, money orders or notes given in payment of such
Rents. Such appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Lender shall not
be liable for or prejudiced by any loss of any note, checks, drafts, etc., unless such loss
shall have been found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been due to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Borrower also hereby irrevocably appoints
Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to appear in any state or federal bankruptcy,
insolvency, or reorganization proceeding in any state or federal court involving any of the
Tenants of the Leases. Lessees of the Property are hereby expressly authorized and
directed, from and after service of a notice by Lender to pay any and all amounts due
Borrower pursuant to the Leases to Lender or such nominee as Lender may designate in writing
delivered to and received by such Tenants, and such Tenants are expressly relieved of any
and all duty, liability or obligation to Borrower in respect of all payments so made.
Section 2.11. No Claims Against Lender
. Nothing contained in this Instrument shall
constitute any consent or request by Lender, express or implied, for the performance of any labor
or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part
thereof, or be construed to permit the making of any claim against Lender in respect of labor or
services or the furnishing of any materials or other property or any claim that any Lien based on
the performance of such labor or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to
the Lien of this Instrument. Borrower shall make all contractors, subcontractors, vendors and
other persons dealing with the Property, or with any persons interested therein, take notice of the
provisions of this Section.
Section 2.12. Indemnification
.
(a) Whether or not covered by insurance, Borrower hereby assumes responsibility for and
agrees to reimburse Lender, its affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors,
employees and agents (individually and collectively, the Indemnified Parties) for and will

liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, suits, actions, proceedings,
judgments, awards, amounts paid in settlements, debts, diminutions in value, fines,

condition of the Collateral sold or otherwise disposed of after possession by Borrower, (v)
any patent or copyright infringement, (vi) any act or omission on the part of Borrower,
Guarantor or any of its or their officers, employees, agents, contractors, lessees,
licensees or invitees, (vii) any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in any representation or
warranty of Borrower or Guarantor, or a breach of Borrower or Guarantor of any of its
covenants or obligations under any of the Loan Documents, (viii) any claim, loss, cost or
expense involving alleged damage to the environment relating to the Collateral, including,
without limitation, investigation, removal, cleanup and remedial costs, (ix) any personal

9
the conducting of an abnormally dangerous activity on or near the Collateral, (x) any
past, present or threatened injury to, or destruction of, the Collateral, including, without
limitation, costs to investigate and assess such injury or damage, (xi) any administrative
process or proceeding or judicial or other similar proceeding (including, without
limitation, any alternative dispute resolution process and any bankruptcy proceeding) in any
way connected with any matter addressed in any of the Loan Documents, (xii) any use, non-use
or condition of the Property or any part thereof or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults
and vault spaces, if any, streets, alleys or ways, (xiii) performance of any labor or

or any part thereof made or suffered to be made by or on behalf of Borrower or any Tenant,

of or additions to the Property or (xv)(A) any Hazardous Materials on, in, under or
affecting all or any portion of the Property, the groundwater, or any surrounding areas, (B)
any violation or claim of violation by Borrower or any Tenant of any Environmental Laws or
(C) the imposition of any Lien for damages caused by or the recovery of any costs for the
cleanup of Hazardous Materials or any Release.
(b) If any action or proceeding be commenced, to which action or proceeding the
Indemnified Parties are made a party by reason of the execution of this Instrument or the
Loan Documents, or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the Lien of this
Instrument, all sums paid by the Indemnified Parties, for the expense of any litigation to
prosecute or defend the rights and Lien created hereby or otherwise, shall be paid by
Borrower to such Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided. Borrower
will pay and save the Indemnified Parties harmless against any and all liability with
respect to any intangible personal property tax or similar imposition of the State or any
subdivision or authority thereof now or hereafter in effect, to the extent that the same may
be payable by the Indemnified Parties in respect of this Instrument or any Secured
Obligation.
(c) All amounts payable to the Indemnified Parties under this Section shall be deemed
indebtedness secured by this Instrument, and any such amounts that are not paid within 30
days after written demand therefor by any Indemnified Party shall bear interest at the
highest Default Rate from the date of such demand. In case any action, suit or proceeding
is brought against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, Borrower, upon
request of such Indemnified Parties, will, at Borrowers expense, resist and defend such
action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted or defended by counsel
designated by Lender. The obligations of Borrower under this Section shall survive any
satisfaction, discharge or reconveyance of this Instrument and payment in full of the
Obligations. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for
any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable
law.

one or more MAI certified appraisers in such form as is satisfactory to Lender. The cost of any
such appraisal(s) shall be paid by Borrower.

Material Adverse Effect.

security interest in the Collateral that constitutes personal property, subject to no other
Lien.

to any property of Borrower subject to a lien of any kind.

made available by Borrower or Guarantor in any manner to any other person to enable or
assist such person in, directly or indirectly purchasing or carrying margin stock. Terms

thereof.

policies, certificates thereof by the insurers together with a counterpart of each blanket
policy). Borrower will also deliver to Lender not later than 30 days prior to the
expiration of any policy a binder or certificate of the insurer evidencing the replacement
thereof;
provided
that if Borrower does not deliver such replacement insurance at least 30
days prior to such expiration, failure to deliver such replacement insurance shall not be an
Event of Default hereunder unless and until the existing insurance actually lapses so long
as Borrower complies with each of the following: (i) Borrower has delivered notice to Lender
at least 30 days prior to such expiration that Borrower is unable to deliver such
replacement insurance at least 30 days prior to such expiration; (ii) Borrower provides
evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that Borrower is using best efforts to obtain such
replacement insurance; and (iii) Borrower provides evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender
that Borrower has a good faith belief that such replacement insurance will be obtained prior
to expiration of the existing insurance.
(d) Borrower will not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in
the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.01.
Section 3.02. Damage, Destruction or Taking; Notice; Assignment of Awards
. In case of any

permanent or temporary use, of all or any part of the Collateral or any interest therein or right
accruing thereto, as the result of or in anticipation of the exercise of the right of condemnation
or eminent domain (a Taking), or the commencement of any proceedings or negotiations that may
result in a Taking, Borrower will promptly give written notice thereof to Lender, generally
describing the nature and extent of such damage, destruction or Taking and Borrowers best estimate
of the cost of restoring the Collateral, or the nature of such proceedings or negotiations and the
nature and extent of the Taking that might result therefrom, as the case may be. Lender shall be
entitled to all insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage or destruction and to all
awards or payments allocable to the Collateral on account of such Taking, and Borrower hereby

awards or payments and irrevocably authorizes and, in the event Borrower has not filed for such
proceeds by the first to occur of (i) 10 Business Days prior to the expiration of the applicable
time for such filing or (ii) 30 days after damage to the Collateral or any Taking, empowers Lender,
at its option, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, to file and prosecute what would otherwise be
Borrowers claim for any such proceeds, award or payment and to collect, receipt for and retain the
same for disposition in accordance with Section 3.03 or Section 3.04, as applicable. Borrower will
pay all reasonable costs and expenses, if any, incurred by Lender in
connection with any such damage, destruction or Taking and seeking and obtaining any insurance
proceeds, awards or payments in respect thereof.
15
Section 3.03. Application of Insurance Proceeds

(c) In the event that such insurance proceeds are to be utilized in the restoration or
replacement of the Collateral, Borrower shall use such amounts for such restoration or
replacement. In the event that, after the restoration or replacement of the Collateral, any
insurance proceeds shall remain, such amount shall be retained by Borrower.
(d) If, prior to the receipt by Borrower of such insurance proceeds, the Collateral
shall have been sold on foreclosure, Lender shall have the right to receive said insurance
proceeds to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale, with legal interest
thereon, but only to the extent of a deficiency judgment sought or recovered or denied, and
the reasonable attorneys fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection
with the collection of such proceeds.
Section 3.04. Taking and Total Destruction
. If all or any part of the Property is lost,
stolen, destroyed or damaged beyond repair (and the Property is not fully replaced to Lenders
satisfaction) or a Taking shall occur, Lender shall apply all amounts recovered under any insurance

writing by Lender) described in subsection (d) of Section 4.01, all of the outstanding principal
amount of the Secured Obligations shall be due and payable, whereupon the full unpaid amount of

all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. Following the occurrence of any other Event

as having been cured in writing by Lender), Lender may, by notice to Borrower, declare all or any
portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable,
whereupon the full unpaid amount of the Loan and other Secured Obligations which shall be so
declared due and payable shall be and become immediately due and payable, without presentment,

by Borrower. Borrower will pay on demand all costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of one counsel, incurred by or on behalf of Lender in
enforcing this Instrument, the Secured Obligations or the Loan Documents or occasioned by any Event
of Default hereunder or thereunder.
Section 4.03. Legal Proceedings; Foreclosure
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
(other than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having
been cured in writing by Lender), Lender at any time may, at Lenders sole discretion, proceed at
law or in equity or otherwise to enforce the payment of the Obligations and the Trustee shall have
the right to foreclose the Lien of this Instrument as against all or any part of the Collateral and
to have the same sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Lender
and/or Trustee shall be entitled to recover in such proceedings all costs incident thereto,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses in such amounts as may be
fixed by the court.
Section 4.04. Power of Sale
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred (other than an Event
of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in writing
by Lender), the Trustee or Lender may (as permitted by law), at Lenders sole discretion, sell,
assign, transfer and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral, or any
interest in any part thereof, at any private sale or at public auction, with or without demand,
advertisement or notice, for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future
delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as Trustee may determine, or as may be
required by law. Without limiting the authority granted in the immediately preceding sentence,
Trustee shall, without demand on Borrower, after the lapse of such time as may then be required by
law, and notice of default and notice of sale having been given as then required by law (including,
without limitation, such notices as may be required by Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code,
as amended), sell the Collateral on the date and at the time and place designated in the notice of
sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine, but
subject to any statutory right of Borrower to direct the order in which such property, if
consisting of several known lots, parcels or interests, shall be sold, at public auction to the
highest bidder, the purchase price payable in lawful money of the United States at the time of
sale. Trustee, or the one conducting the sale may, for any cause deemed
expedient, postpone the sale from time to time until it shall be completed and, in every such
case, notice of postponement shall be given by public declaration thereof by such person at the
time and place last appointed for the sale; provided that, if the sale is postponed for longer than
10 days beyond the day designated in the notice of sale, notice of sale and notice of the time,
date and place of sale shall be given in the same manner as the original notice of sale. Trustee
shall execute and deliver to the purchaser at any such sale a deed conveying the property so sold,
but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters
or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Lender, may
bid at the sale.
18
Section 4.05. Deficiency
. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 51.003, 51.004, and
51.005 of the Texas Property Code, as amended, and to the extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees
that Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Borrower and any other party
obligated on the Secured Obligations equal to the difference between the amount owing on the
Secured Obligations and the amount for which the Property was sold pursuant to judicial or
nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Borrower expressly recognizes that this section constitutes a waiver
of the above-cited provisions of the Texas Property Code which would otherwise permit Borrower and
other persons against whom recovery of deficiencies is sought or any guarantor independently (even
absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the
fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale and offset against any
deficiency the amount by which the foreclosure sale price is determined to be less than such fair
market value. Borrower further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates an irrebuttable
presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Property for
purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Borrower, any guarantor, and others against whom
recovery of a deficiency is sought.
Alternatively, in the event the waiver provided for above is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the following shall be the basis for the finder of
facts determination of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure
sale in proceedings governed by Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code, as
amended: (i) the Property shall be valued in an as is condition as of the date of the
foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Property will be repaired or
improved in any manner before a resale of the Property after foreclosure; (ii) the valuation shall
be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Property for
cash promptly (but no later than twelve (12) months) following the foreclosure sale; (iii) all
reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions
should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Property, including, without limitation,
brokerage commissions, title insurance, a survey of the Property, tax prorations, attorneys fees,
and marketing costs; (iv) the gross fair market value of the Property shall be further discounted
to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Property pending sale,
including, without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, taxes and assessments
(to the extent not accounted for in (iii) above), and other maintenance, operational and ownership
expenses; and (v) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a
determination of the fair market value of the Property must be given by persons having at least
five (5) years experience in appraising property similar to the Property and who have conducted and
prepared a complete written appraisal of the Property taking into consideration the factors set
forth above.
Section 4.06. UCC Remedies
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred (other than an Event
of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in writing
by Lender), Lender may exercise from time to time and at any time any rights and remedies available
to it under applicable law upon default in the payment of indebtedness, including, without
limitation, any right or remedy available to it as a secured party under the UCC. Borrower shall,
promptly upon request by Lender, assemble the Collateral, or any portion thereof generally
described in such request, and make it available to Lender at such place or places designated by
Lender and reasonably convenient to Lender. If Lender elects to proceed under the UCC to dispose
of portions of the Collateral, Lender, at its option, may give Borrower notice of the time and
place of any public sale of any such property, or of the date after which any private sale or other
disposition thereof is to be made, by sending notice by registered or certified first class mail,
postage prepaid, to Borrower at least 10 days before the time of the sale or other disposition. If
any notice of any proposed sale, assignment or transfer by Lender of any portion of the Collateral
or any interest therein is required by law, Borrower conclusively agrees that 10 days notice to
Borrower of the date, time and place thereof is reasonable.
19
Section 4.07. Trustee Authorized To Execute Deeds
. Borrower irrevocably appoints Trustee
(which appointment is coupled with an interest) the true and lawful attorney of Borrower, in its
name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or
delivery for the enforcement hereof, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise in
connection with enforcing this Instrument after the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than
an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in
writing by Lender), to execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, releases and
other instruments as may be designated in any such request.
Section 4.08. Purchase of Collateral by Lender
. Lender may be a purchaser of the Collateral
or of any part thereof or of any interest therein at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to power of
sale, foreclosure or otherwise, and Lender may apply to the purchase price thereof the Secured
Obligations.
Section 4.09. Receipt a Sufficient Discharge to Purchaser
. Upon any sale of the Collateral
or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or
otherwise, the receipt of Trustee or the officer making the sale under judicial proceedings shall
be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and such purchaser shall not be
obliged to see to the application thereof.
Section 4.10. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Homestead
. Borrower hereby waives, to the
fullest extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension
and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any
sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein. To the extent allowable by
law, Borrower hereby waives any and all rights to request or require an appraisal of the Property.
In the event of foreclosure pursuant to the provisions hereof, Lender may, at Lenders option,
obtain an appraisal of the Property and any funds expended by Lender for such propose shall become
indebtedness of Borrower to Lender secured by this Instrument and shall be paid by Borrower to
Lender within 10 days of demand.
Section 4.11. Obligations to Become Due on Sale
. Upon any sale of the Collateral or any
portion thereof or interest therein by virtue of the exercise of any remedy by Lender or Trustee
under or by virtue of this Instrument, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise
in accordance with this Instrument or by virtue of any other remedy available at law or in equity
or by statute or otherwise, at the option of Lender, all Secured Obligations shall, if not
previously declared due and payable, immediately become due and payable, together with interest
accrued thereon and all other indebtedness secured by this Instrument.
Section 4.12. Application of Proceeds of Sale and Other Moneys
. The proceeds of any sale of
the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein under or by virtue of this Instrument,
whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, and all other moneys at any time held
by Lender or Trustee as part of the Collateral, shall be applied as follows:
FIRST, fees, expenses or indemnities to enforce this Instrument or then due to Lender or
Trustee;
SECOND, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any other fees, expenses or indemnities then
due to Lender;
THIRD, to pay interest due in respect of the Loan;
FOURTH, to pay the principal outstanding with respect to the Loan;

SIXTH, to Borrower.
Section 4.13. Appointment of Receiver
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred (other
than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been
cured in writing by Lender), Lender shall, as a matter of right and without regard to the adequacy
of any security for the Secured Obligations secured hereby or the solvency of Borrower, be entitled
to the appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the
Collateral, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or
otherwise, and Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose
any such appointment.
20
Section 4.14. Possession, Management and Income
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
(other than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having
been cured in writing by Lender), in addition to, not in limitation of, the rights and remedies
provided in Section 2.10, to the extent allowed by Texas law, Lender, upon five days notice to
Borrower, may enter upon and take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof by force,
summary proceeding, ejectment or otherwise and may remove Borrower and all other persons and any
and all property therefrom and may hold, operate, maintain, repair, preserve and manage the same
and receive all earnings, income, Rents, issues and proceeds accruing with respect thereto or any
part thereof. Lender shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such taking of
possession, entry, removal or holding, operation or management.
Section 4.15. Right of Lender to Perform Borrowers Covenants
. During the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lender, without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or
releasing any obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time
thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrower,
and may enter upon the Collateral for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Lenders
opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry and no such action shall be
deemed an eviction of any Tenant or other person with the right to use or occupy all or any portion
of the Property or any part thereof. After the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an
Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in
writing by Lender), all sums so paid by Lender and all costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest thereon at
the Default Rate from the date of payment or incurring, shall constitute additional indebtedness
secured by this Instrument and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within 10 days of demand.
Section 4.16. Subrogation
. To the extent that Lender, on or after the date hereof, pays any
sum due under any provision of any legal requirement or any instrument creating any Lien prior or
superior to the Lien of this Instrument, or Borrower or any other person pays any such sum with the
proceeds of the Loan evidenced by the Note, Lender shall have and be entitled to a Lien on the
Collateral equal in priority to the Lien discharged, and Lender shall be subrogated to, and receive
and enjoy all rights and liens possessed, held or enjoyed by, the holder of such Lien, that shall
remain in existence and benefit Lender in securing the Obligations.
Section 4.17. Remedies Cumulative

otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power
or remedy provided for in this Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by
Lender or Trustee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this
Instrument, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lender or Trustee of any or all such other rights,
powers or remedies.
Section 4.18. Provisions Subject to Applicable Law
. All rights, powers and remedies provided
in this Instrument may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate
any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that
they will not render this Instrument invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded,
registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of this Instrument or
any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Instrument and any
other application of such term shall not be affected thereby.
Section 4.19. No Waiver, Compromise of Actions
. No failure by Lender to insist upon the
strict performance of any term hereof or of any other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right,
power or remedy consequent upon a breach hereof or thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such
term or of any such breach. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Instrument, which
shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
breach. By accepting payment or performance of any amount or other Secured Obligation before or
after its due date, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived its right either to require prompt
payment or performance when due of all other amounts payable hereunder and the Secured Obligations
or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment. Any action, suit or proceeding
brought by Lender pursuant to
any of the terms of this Instrument, any Loan Document or otherwise, and any claim made by

any of the Leases or the occurrence of an event of default or a breach or default (however
defined), after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods provided therefor

. Without notice to or consent of Borrower, and without
impairment of the Lien and rights created by this Instrument, Lender may accept from Borrower or
any other person additional security for the Secured Obligations. Neither the giving of this

hereunder. Trustee may resign by giving 30 days prior written notice of such resignation to
Lender. If Trustee shall die, resign or become disqualified from acting, or shall fail or refuse
to exercise its powers hereunder when requested by Lender so to do, or if for any reason and
without cause Lender shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee to act instead of the original
Trustee named herein, or any prior successor or substitute trustee, Lender shall have full power to
appoint a substitute trustee and, if preferred, several substitute trustees in succession who shall
succeed to all the estate, rights, powers and duties of the aforenamed Trustee. Upon appointment
by Lender and upon recording of the substitution in the land records of Angelina County, Texas, any
new Trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of its
predecessor in the rights hereunder with the same effect as if originally named as Trustee herein.
Section 5.04. Notices
. All notices, certificates, requests, demands and other
communications provided for hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be in writing and shall be

to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided,
however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of Lender.
23
Section 5.08. Waiver of Jury Trial
. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY
CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS INSTRUMENT, ANY
OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN LENDER AND BORROWER RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS INSTRUMENT OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE
RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN LENDER AND BORROWER. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER ENTERING INTO THIS INSTRUMENT AND
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND
ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT
CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS). THIS WAIVER IS
IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL
APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS INSTRUMENT, ANY
LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY
THIS INSTRUMENT OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS INSTRUMENT MAY BE
FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
Section 5.09. Time of Essence
. Time is of the essence with respect to Borrowers obligations
under this Instrument.
Section 5.10. No Offset
. Borrowers obligation to make payments and perform all obligations,
covenants and warranties under this Instrument and under the other Loan Documents shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation any
setoff, counterclaim, abatement, suspension, recoupment, deduction, defense or other right that
Borrower or any guarantor may have or claim against Lender or any entity participating in making
the loan secured hereby. The foregoing provisions of this section, however, do not constitute a
waiver of any claim or demand which Borrower or any guarantor may have in damages or otherwise
against Lender or any other person, or preclude Borrower from maintaining a separate action
thereon; provided, however, that Borrower waives any right it may have at law or in equity to
consolidate such separate action with any action or proceeding brought by Lender.
Section 5.11. Severability
. Any provision of this Instrument or other Loan Documents that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions of this Instrument or such Loan Documents or affecting the validity or
unenforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 5.12. Release and Termination
. Upon indefeasible payment in full of the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this
Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents and all other sums payable hereunder and
thereunder by Borrower or Guarantor, this Instrument shall automatically terminate and shall be
(except as provided herein) null and void and of no further force and effect, and the Collateral
shall thereupon be, and be deemed to have been, reconveyed, released and discharged from this
Instrument without further notice on the part of either Borrower or Lender, but upon the request of
Borrower, Lender, at Borrowers sole cost and expense, shall request Trustee execute a satisfaction
release or deed of reconveyance in recordable form and a termination of this Instrument and Trustee
shall recovey the Collateral without warranty to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

necessary by Lender to pay Impositions as they fall due, Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount
necessary to make up the deficiency within 30 days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting
payment thereof. Lender may apply, in any amount and in any order as Lender shall determine in
Lenders sole discretion, any Funds held by Lender at the time of application (i) to pay
Impositions which are now or will hereafter become due or (ii) as a credit against the Secured
Obligations. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations, Lender shall refund to Borrower any
Funds held by Lender.

thereof or the interest of Borrower or Lender therein (herein, Liens), or any proceeds or Rents
or other sums arising therefrom other than Permitted Exceptions.

the terms thereof. Borrower will not terminate, forfeit or materially amend rights afforded to
Borrower under any such instruments, without the prior written consent of Lender.
Section 2.07. Maintenance and Repair
. Subject to ordinary wear and tear, Borrower will keep
or cause to be kept all presently and subsequently erected or acquired Improvements and the

on the Premises and (to the extent permitted by law) of the ground adjacent thereto, and every
other act necessary or appropriate for the preservation and safety of the Property by reason of or
in connection with any excavation or other building operation upon the Premises and upon any
adjoining property, whether or not Borrower shall be required to take such action or be liable for
failure to do so.
Section 2.08. Alterations, Additions
. Borrower shall not make or cause to be made any
alterations of and additions to the Property or any part thereof without prior written consent of
Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however
, that Borrower may make
nonstructural additions to the Property costing less than $1,000,000 per year without Lenders
consent so long as such additions do not diminish the value of the Property. If Lender consents to
any alterations or additions to the Property, such alterations or additions shall be made at
Borrowers sole expense by a licensed contractor and according to the plans and specifications
approved by Lender and subject to any other conditions required by Lender. Any work commenced on
the Property shall be diligently completed, shall be of good workmanship and materials and shall
comply with the terms of this Instrument. Upon the completion of any alterations or additions,
Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with (a) evidence of full payment to all laborers,
materialmen contributing to the alterations or additions, (b) an architects certificate certifying
the alterations conform to the plans and specification approved by Lender, (c) a certificate of

Section 2.09. Acquired Property Subject to Lien
. All right, title and interest of Borrower
in and to all alterations, improvements, substitutions, restorations and replacements of, and all
additions and appurtenances to, the Property hereafter acquired by Borrower, whether such property

Lien of this Instrument without further action on the part of Borrower or Lender. Upon the request
of Lender, Borrower, at its expense, will execute and deliver (and will record and file as provided
herein) an instrument or document supplemental to this Instrument satisfactory in substance and
form to Lender, whenever such an instrument or document is necessary under applicable law to
subject to the Lien of this Instrument all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all
property provided or required by this Instrument to be subject to the Lien hereof.
Section 2.10. Assignment of Rents and Leases
.
(a) The assignment, grant and conveyance of the Leases, Rents and all other rents,
income, proceeds and benefits of the Collateral contained in the granting clause of this
Instrument shall constitute an absolute, present and irrevocable assignment, grant and
conveyance, provided that, until an Event of Default has occurred, a license is hereby given
to Borrower to collect, receive and apply Rents, as they become due and payable, but not in
advance thereof, and in accordance with all of the other terms, conditions and provisions
hereof and of the Leases, contracts, agreements and other instruments with respect to which
such payments are made. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such license shall be
revoked and shall terminate, immediately and automatically without notice to Borrower or any
other person (to the extent permitted by law), and shall not be reinstated upon a cure of
such Event of Default without the express written consent of Lender. Such assignment shall
be fully effective without any further action on the part of Borrower or Lender, and Lender
shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, to
collect, receive and apply all Rents and all other rents, income, proceeds and benefits from
the Collateral, including all right, title and interest of Borrower in any escrowed sums or
deposits or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether or not Lender takes possession
of the Collateral or any part thereof. The collection of such amounts by Lender shall in no
way waive the right of Lender to foreclose this Instrument in the event of any Event of
Default. Nothing contained herein and no exercise of any right or privilege hereunder by
Lender shall be construed to constitute Lender as a mortgagee-in-possession. All Rents and
all other rents, income, proceeds and benefits of the Collateral received by Borrower from
or related to the Collateral or any part thereof, from and after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, shall be deemed received in trust and shall be turned over to Lender within one
Business Day after Borrowers receipt thereof. Borrower further grants to Lender the right,
at Lenders option, to:
(i) enter upon and take possession of the Property for the purpose of
collecting Rents and all other rents, income, proceeds and other benefits;
(ii) dispossess by the customary summary proceedings any Tenant, purchaser or
other person defaulting in the payment of any amount when and as due and payable, or
in the performance of any other obligation, under the Leases, contract or other
instrument to which said Rents or other rents, income, proceeds or benefits relate;
(iii) let or convey the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest
therein; and
(iv) apply Rents and such other rents, income, proceeds and benefits, after the
payment of all necessary fees, charges and expenses, on account of the Secured
Obligations in accordance with Section 3.03.
(v) Lender shall be under no obligation to exercise or prosecute any of the
rights or claims assigned to it hereunder or to perform or carry out any of the
obligations of the lessor under any of the Leases and does not assume any of the
liabilities in connection with or arising or growing out of the covenants and
agreements of Borrower in the Leases. It is further understood that the assignment
granted hereunder shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care,
management or repair of the Property, or parts thereof, upon Lender, nor shall it
operate to make Lender liable for the performance of any of the terms and conditions
of any of the Leases, or for
any waste of the Property by any Tenant under any of the Leases or any other
person, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any
negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in
loss or injury or death to any lessee, licensee, employee or stranger.
7
(b) Borrower represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with Lender that, other than as
set forth on Schedule 3, there are no existing Leases, and Borrower will not enter into any
other Lease without the prior written consent of Lender.
(c) Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with power of substitution and with full power for Lender in its own name and capacity or in
the name and capacity of Borrower, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, to demand, collect, receive and give complete acquittances for any
and all Rents accruing from the Property that Lender may deem necessary or desirable in
order to collect and enforce the payment of the Rents and to demand, correct, receive,
endorse, and deposit all checks, drafts, money orders or notes given in payment of such
Rents. Such appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Lender shall not
be liable for or prejudiced by any loss of any note, checks, drafts, etc., unless such loss
shall have been found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been due to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Borrower also hereby irrevocably appoints
Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to appear in any state or federal bankruptcy,
insolvency, or reorganization proceeding in any state or federal court involving any of the
Tenants of the Leases. Lessees of the Property are hereby expressly authorized and
directed, from and after service of a notice by Lender to pay any and all amounts due
Borrower pursuant to the Leases to Lender or such nominee as Lender may designate in writing
delivered to and received by such Tenants, and such Tenants are expressly relieved of any
and all duty, liability or obligation to Borrower in respect of all payments so made.
(d) In addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy provided in or available
under this Instrument, Lender shall have all the rights set forth in A.R.S. § 33-702B (as
amended, supplemented or supplanted) regarding enforcement of the assignment of Leases and
Rents contained herein.
Section 2.11. No Claims Against Lender
. Nothing contained in this Instrument shall
constitute any consent or request by Lender, express or implied, for the performance of any labor
or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part
thereof, or be construed to permit the making of any claim against Lender in respect of labor or
services or the furnishing of any materials or other property or any claim that any Lien based on
the performance of such labor or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to
the Lien of this Instrument. Borrower shall make all contractors, subcontractors, vendors and
other persons dealing with the Property, or with any persons interested therein, take notice of the
provisions of this Section.
Section 2.12. Indemnification
.
(a) Whether or not covered by insurance, Borrower hereby assumes responsibility for and
agrees to reimburse Lender, its affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors,
employees and agents (individually and collectively, the Indemnified Parties) for and will
indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, suits, actions, proceedings,
judgments, awards, amounts paid in settlements, debts, diminutions in value, fines,

transactions contemplated thereby and the Collateral, including, without limitation, (i) the
selection, manufacture, construction, acquisition, acceptance or rejection of the
Collateral, (ii) the ownership of the Collateral, (iii) the delivery, installation, lease,
possession, maintenance, use, condition, return or operation of the Collateral, (iv) the
condition of the Collateral sold or otherwise disposed of after possession by Borrower, (v)
any patent or copyright infringement, (vi) any act or omission on the part of Borrower,
Guarantor or any of its or their officers, employees, agents, contractors, lessees,
licensees or invitees, (vii) any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in any representation or
warranty of Borrower or Guarantor, or a breach of Borrower or Guarantor of any of its
covenants or obligations under any of the Loan
8
Documents, (viii) any claim, loss, cost or expense involving alleged damage to the environment relating to
the Collateral, including, without limitation, investigation, removal, cleanup and remedial
costs, (ix) any personal injury, wrongful death or property damage arising under any
statutory or common law or tort law theory, including, without limitation, damages assessed
for the maintenance of a private or public nuisance or for the conducting of an abnormally
dangerous activity on or near the Collateral, (x) any past, present or threatened injury to,
or destruction of, the Collateral, including, without limitation, costs to investigate and
assess such injury or damage, (xi) any administrative process or proceeding or judicial or
other similar proceeding (including, without limitation, any alternative dispute resolution
process and any bankruptcy proceeding) in any way connected with any matter addressed in any
of the Loan Documents, (xii) any use, non-use or condition of the Property or any part
thereof or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault spaces, if any, streets, alleys
or ways, (xiii) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or
other property in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof made or suffered to be made
by or on behalf of Borrower or any Tenant, (xiv) any work in connection with any

Property, the groundwater, or any surrounding areas, (B) any violation or claim of violation
by Borrower or any Tenant of any Environmental Laws or (C) the imposition of any Lien for
damages caused by or the recovery of any costs for the cleanup of Hazardous Materials or any
Release.
(b) If any action or proceeding be commenced, to which action or proceeding the
Indemnified Parties are made a party by reason of the execution of this Instrument or the
Loan Documents, or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the Lien of this
Instrument, all sums paid by the Indemnified Parties, for the expense of any litigation to
prosecute or defend the rights and Lien created hereby or otherwise, shall be paid by
Borrower to such Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided. Borrower
will pay and save the Indemnified Parties harmless against any and all liability with
respect to any intangible personal property tax or similar imposition of the State or any
subdivision or authority thereof now or hereafter in effect, to the extent that the same may
be payable by the Indemnified Parties in respect of this Instrument or any Secured
Obligation.
(c) All amounts payable to the Indemnified Parties under this Section shall be deemed
indebtedness secured by this Instrument, and any such amounts that are not paid within 30
days after written demand therefor by any Indemnified Party shall bear interest at the
highest Default Rate from the date of such demand. In case any action, suit or proceeding
is brought against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, Borrower, upon
request of such Indemnified Parties, will, at Borrowers expense, resist and defend such
action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted or defended by counsel
designated by Lender. The obligations of Borrower under this Section shall survive any
satisfaction, discharge or reconveyance of this Instrument and payment in full of the
Obligations. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for
any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable
law.
Section 2.13. Hazardous Materials

Tenants and sub-tenants on the Property with Borrowers covenants and agreements contained in this
Section. Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of any investigation, demand, or claim affecting

Section 2.14. Right of Lender To Require Appraisal
. Following the occurrence of an Event of
Default (other than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as
having been cured in writing by Lender), Lender shall have the right, from time to time during the
term of this Instrument, to obtain one or more fair market value appraisals of the Property from
one or more MAI certified appraisers in such form as is satisfactory to Lender. The cost of any
such appraisal(s) shall be paid by Borrower.

(a) Borrower is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Borrower is in good
standing and is duly licensed or qualified to transact business in the State and in each
other jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires such qualification, except for

licenses, permits and other approvals to (i) enter into and perform its obligations under
this Instrument, the Note and each other Loan Document to which it is a party and to own its
property, (ii) use the Collateral and (iii) conduct its business substantially as currently
conducted by it, except as to clause (iii) where the failure to hold such licenses, permits
and approvals could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) This Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party have
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their
respective terms, except to the extent limited by bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws
of general application relating to or effecting the enforcement of creditors rights.

conditions of the articles of organization or operating agreement of Borrower or of any
corporate restriction or of any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is now a party and

(e) The authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Instrument, the Note
and the other Loan Documents by Borrower do not require submission to, approval of, or other
action by any governmental authority or agency, except for such action that has been duly
obtained or taken and is in full force and effect.
(f) There is no action, suit, proceeding, claim, inquiry or investigation, at law or in
equity, before or by any court, regulatory agency, public board or body pending or, to the
best of Borrowers knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower or Guarantor (other

Commission (SEC)), challenging Borrowers or Guarantors authority to enter into this
Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents or any other action wherein an
unfavorable ruling or finding would adversely affect the enforceability of this
Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
10
(g) Borrower is in compliance with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of
governmental authorities applicable to it and its properties except to the extent the
non-compliance with which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

and Guarantor for their fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and the unaudited financial
statement of Borrower and Guarantor and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and
those statements fairly present the financial condition of Borrower and Guarantor, if any,
on the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended and were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Since the date of the most recent
financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the business, properties
or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or Guarantor. Except as disclosed in the
Financial Statements or the notes thereto, neither Borrower nor Guarantor, as of the Closing

appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been
set aside on its books.

the State. Borrowers residence for federal income tax purposes is located at its address
specified in the preamble to this Instrument. Borrower has authorized Lender to file

created pursuant to this Instrument and the other Loan Documents. When such financing
statements are filed in the offices noted therein, Lender will have a valid and perfected
security interest in the Collateral that constitutes personal property, subject to no other
Lien.
(k) None of the Collateral constitutes a replacement of, substitution for or accessory
to any property of Borrower subject to a lien of any kind.
(l) Except where any failure could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, Borrower has obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations which
are required under all Environmental Laws at Borrowers facilities or in connection with the
operation of its business. Except where any failure could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower and all activities of Borrower at its
facilities comply with all Environmental Laws and with all terms and conditions of any
required permits, licenses and authorizations applicable to Borrower with respect thereto.

Effect, Borrower is also in compliance with all limitations, restrictions, conditions,
standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in
Environmental Laws or contained in any plan, order, decree, judgment or notice of which

events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, actions or plans which
may interfere with or prevent continued compliance with, or which may give rise to any
liability under, any Environmental Laws.

Borrower or Guarantor in writing to Lender for purposes of or in connection with this
Instrument or any transaction contemplated hereby is, and all other such factual information
hereafter furnished by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor to Lender will be, true and
correct in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or

activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
margin stock.
None of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of, or be made available
by Borrower or Guarantor in any manner to any other person to enable or assist such person
in, directly or indirectly purchasing or carrying margin stock. Terms for which meanings

assets. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is entering into the transactions contemplated by
the Loan Documents with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Borrowers or
Guarantors creditors.

(iii) promptly upon knowledge thereof, notice of any loss, theft or destruction

such independent accountant to discuss Borrowers financial matters with Lender or its
representatives whether or not any representative of Borrower is present) and to examine

foregoing with respect to, all or any part of the Collateral.

thereof.

to the extent that the Property is located within an area that has been or is hereafter
designated or identified as an area having special flood hazards by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development or such other official as shall from time to time be
authorized by federal or state law to make such designation pursuant to any national or
state program of flood insurance, Borrower shall carry flood insurance with respect to the
Property in amounts not less than the maximum limit of coverage then available with respect
to the Property or the amount of the Obligations, whichever is less; (vi) workers
compensation insurance to the
full extent required by applicable law for all employees of Borrower engaged in any

(b) All insurance maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.01(a) shall (i) (except
for workers compensation insurance) name Lender as additional insured and/or loss payee, as
applicable, (ii) (except for workers compensation and public liability insurance) provide
that the proceeds for any losses shall be adjusted by Borrower subject to the approval of
Lender and from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be payable to Lender,
to be held and applied as provided in Section 3.03, (iii) include effective waivers by the
insurer of all rights of subrogation against any named insured, the indebtedness secured by
this Instrument and the Collateral and all claims for insurance premiums against Lender,

30 days after receipt by Lender of written notice thereof, (vi) provide that any notice
under such policies shall be simultaneously delivered to Lender and (vii) be reasonably
satisfactory in all other respects to Lender. Any insurance maintained pursuant to Section
3.01 may be evidenced by blanket insurance policies covering the Property and other
properties or assets of Borrower, provided that any such policy shall specify the portion,
if less than all, of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Property and
shall in all other respects comply with the requirements of Section 3.01. Borrowers
obligation to maintain insurance coverage in accordance with the terms hereof shall not be
construed to limit the amount of indemnification or insurance proceeds available to Lender.
(c) Borrower will deliver to Lender, promptly upon request, the certificates of
insurance and, if requested by Lender, copies of all policies (certified by the issuer of
such policies as being true and accurate copies of the original policies), evidencing all
insurance required to be maintained under Section 3.01(a) (or, in the case of blanket
policies, certificates thereof by the insurers together with a counterpart of each blanket
policy). Borrower will also deliver to Lender not later than 30 days prior to the
expiration of any policy a binder or certificate of the insurer evidencing the replacement
thereof;
provided
that if Borrower does not deliver such replacement insurance at least 30
days prior to such expiration, failure to deliver such replacement insurance shall not be an
Event of Default hereunder unless and until the existing insurance actually lapses so long
as Borrower complies with each of the following: (i) Borrower has delivered notice to Lender
at least 30 days prior to such expiration that Borrower is unable to deliver such
replacement insurance at least 30 days prior to such expiration; (ii) Borrower provides
evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that Borrower is using best efforts to obtain such
replacement insurance; and (iii) Borrower provides evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender
that Borrower has a good faith belief that such replacement insurance will be obtained prior
to expiration of the existing insurance.
(d) Borrower will not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in
the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.01.
Section 3.02. Damage, Destruction or Taking; Notice; Assignment of Awards
. In case of any
damage to or destruction of the Collateral or any material part thereof or any taking, whether for
permanent or temporary use, of all or any part of the Collateral or any interest therein or right
accruing thereto, as the result of or in anticipation of the exercise of the right of condemnation
or eminent domain (a Taking), or the commencement of any proceedings or negotiations that may
result in a Taking, Borrower will promptly give written notice thereof to Lender, generally
describing the nature and extent of such damage, destruction or Taking and Borrowers best estimate
of the cost of restoring the Collateral, or the nature of such proceedings or negotiations and the
nature and extent of the Taking that might result therefrom, as the case may be. Lender shall be
entitled to all insurance proceeds payable on
14
account of such damage or destruction and to all awards or payments
allocable to the Collateral on account of such Taking, and Borrower hereby irrevocably assigns,
transfers and sets over to Lender all rights of Borrower to any such proceeds, awards or payments
and irrevocably authorizes and, in the event Borrower has not filed for such proceeds by the first
to occur of (i) 10 Business Days prior to the expiration of the applicable time for such filing or
(ii) 30 days after damage to the Collateral or any Taking, empowers Lender, at its option, in the
name of Borrower or otherwise, to file and prosecute what would otherwise be Borrowers claim for
any such proceeds, award or payment and to collect, receipt for and retain the same for disposition
in accordance with Section 3.03 or Section 3.04, as applicable. Borrower will pay all reasonable
costs and expenses, if any, incurred by Lender in connection with any such damage, destruction or
Taking and seeking and obtaining any insurance proceeds, awards or payments in respect thereof.
Section 3.03. Application of Insurance Proceeds
. (a) Subject to Sections 3.03(b) and 3.04,
Lender may, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, in its sole discretion, apply all
amounts recovered under any insurance policy required to be maintained by Borrower hereunder in any
one or more of the following ways:
(i) to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Trustee or
Lender in obtaining any such insurance proceeds or awards, including the fees and
expenses of attorneys and insurance and other experts and consultants, the costs of
litigation, arbitration, mediation, investigations and other judicial,
administrative or other proceedings and all other out-of-pocket expenses;
(ii) to the payment of any Secured Obligation;
(iii) to fulfill any of the other covenants contained herein or in any other
Loan Document, in accordance therewith as Lender may determine after the occurrence
of a Default or an Event of Default;
(iv) to Borrower for application to the cost of restoring or replacing the
Collateral destroyed, damaged or taken; or
(v) to Borrower.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section to the contrary (but
subject to the provisions of Section 3.04), if each of the following conditions is satisfied,
Borrower shall apply insurance proceeds received by it to the restoration or replacement of the
Collateral, to the extent necessary for the restoration or replacement thereof:
(i) there shall then exist no uncured Default or Event of Default; and
(ii) Borrower shall furnish to Lender a certificate of an architect or engineer
reasonably acceptable to Lender stating (A) that the Collateral is capable of being
restored, prior to the maturity of the Note, to substantially the same condition as existed
prior to the casualty, (B) the insurance proceeds are sufficient for such restoration and
(C) the restoration or replacement is reasonably capable of being fully completed by no
later than six months prior to the latest Maturity Date for the Note.
(c) In the event that such insurance proceeds are to be utilized in the restoration or
replacement of the Collateral, Borrower shall use such amounts for such restoration or
replacement. In the event that, after the restoration or replacement of the Collateral, any
insurance proceeds shall remain, such amount shall be retained by Borrower.
(d) If, prior to the receipt by Borrower of such insurance proceeds, the Collateral
shall have been sold on foreclosure, Lender shall have the right to receive said insurance
proceeds to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale, with legal interest
thereon, but only to the extent of a deficiency judgment sought or recovered or denied, and
the reasonable attorneys fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection
with the collection of such proceeds.
15
Section 3.04. Taking and Total Destruction
. If all or any part of the Property is lost,
stolen, destroyed or damaged beyond repair (and the Property is not fully replaced to Lenders
satisfaction) or a Taking shall occur, Lender shall apply all amounts recovered under any insurance
policy referred to in Section 3.01(a) and all awards received by it on account of any such Taking
as follows:
(a) first, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in
obtaining any such insurance proceeds or awards, including the fees and expenses of
attorneys and insurance and other experts and consultants, the costs of litigation,
arbitration, mediation, investigations and other judicial, administrative or other
proceedings and all other out-of-pocket expenses;

(c) third, to fulfill any of the other covenants contained herein or in the Loan
Documents in accordance with such Loan Documents as Lender may determine after the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default; and
(d) fourth, the balance, if any, to Borrower.

. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an
Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in
writing by Lender) described in subsection (d) of Section 4.01, all of the outstanding principal
amount of the Secured Obligations shall be due and payable, whereupon the full unpaid amount of
such Secured Obligations which shall be so declared due and payable shall be and become immediately
due and payable, without presentment, notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. Following the occurrence of any other Event
of Default (other than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed
as having been cured in writing by Lender), Lender may, by notice to Borrower, declare all or any
portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable,
whereupon the full unpaid amount of the Loan and other Secured Obligations which shall be so
declared due and payable shall be and become immediately due and payable, without presentment,
notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived
by Borrower. Borrower will pay on demand all costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of one counsel, incurred by or on behalf of Lender in
enforcing this Instrument, the Secured Obligations or the Loan Documents or occasioned by any Event
of Default hereunder or thereunder.
Section 4.03. Legal Proceedings; Foreclosure
. Lender shall have rights, benefits and
remedies conferred or contemplated by the Deed of Trust Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender
may, at its option in its sole discretion, elect to foreclose this Instrument judicially as
authorized by A.R.S. § 33-807, as hereinafter provided. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
(other than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having
been cured in writing by Lender), Lender at any time may, at Lenders sole discretion, proceed at
law or in equity or otherwise to enforce the payment of the Obligations and the Trustee shall have
the right to foreclose the Lien of this Instrument as against all or any part of the Collateral and
to have the same sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Lender
and/or Trustee shall be entitled to recover in such proceedings all costs incident thereto,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses in such amounts as may be
fixed by the court.
17
Section 4.04. Power of Sale
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred (other than an Event
of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in writing
by Lender), the Trustee or
Lender may (as permitted by law), at Lenders sole discretion, sell, assign, transfer and
deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral, or any interest in any part
thereof, at any private sale or at public auction, with or without demand, advertisement or notice,
for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or
prices and on such terms as Trustee may determine, or as may be required by law. Without limiting
the authority granted in the immediately preceding sentence, Trustee shall, without demand on
Borrower, after the lapse of such time as may then be required by law, and notice of default and
notice of sale having been given as then required by law, sell the Collateral on the date and at
the time and place designated in the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels and
in such order as Trustee may determine, but subject to any statutory right of Borrower to direct
the order in which such property, if consisting of several known lots, parcels or interests, shall
be sold, at public auction to the highest bidder, the purchase price payable in lawful money of the
United States at the time of sale. Trustee, or the one conducting the sale may, for any cause
deemed expedient, postpone the sale from time to time until it shall be completed and, in every
such case, notice of postponement shall be given by public declaration thereof by such person at
the time and place last appointed for the sale; provided that, if the sale is postponed for longer
than 10 days beyond the day designated in the notice of sale, notice of sale and notice of the
time, date and place of sale shall be given in the same manner as the original notice of sale.
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser at any such sale a deed conveying the property
so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of
any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including
Lender, may bid at the sale.
Section 4.05. Deficiency
. To the fullest extent allowable under Arizona law, Borrower hereby
expressly waives all provisions of Arizona law (including without limitation those specifically
referenced below) which might otherwise be construed, contrary to the terms of the Loan Documents,
to limit the liability of Borrower with respect to the Secured Obligations, and hereby expressly
agrees that no such provision of law shall be applied to such obligations. To that end, Borrower
expressly:
(a) agrees that the amount of any unpaid or unperformed Secured Obligations remaining
following any sale of collateral (hereinafter referred to as the Deficiency) shall be
determined solely by the purchase price (whether cash, credit bid, or otherwise, and net of
all costs and expenses of and relating to the sale) actually received for such collateral,
and waives all provisions of A.R.S. § § 12-1566, 33-725, 33-727 and 33-814 which might
otherwise determine the Deficiency by the fair market value of the collateral sold or by
any other valuation in excess of such actual net purchase price;
(b) waives all provisions of A.R.S. § § 33-814 which purport to limit the time within
which an action upon a Deficiency may be commenced, or to eliminate any Deficiency if such
an action is not commenced within such time limits, and agrees that such provisions shall
not apply to any Deficiency following a trustees sale under this Instrument;
(c) agrees that if, notwithstanding the foregoing express intention and agreement of
Borrower to the contrary, the provisions of A.R.S. § § 33-814 are held by a court to be
applicable, then:
(i) for purposes of A.R.S. § § 33-814(B), the ninety-day period within which an
action for a deficiency judgment may be brought shall not begin until the date of
the last trustees sale or other nonjudicial or judicial foreclosure sale of any
real or personal property collateral under any of Deeds of Trust which secure the
Secured Obligations, whether such collateral is located within or outside of the
State;
(ii) the phrase full satisfaction of the obligation in A.R.S. § § 33-814(D)
shall be construed to refer solely to the obligation of Borrower to repay the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note, and not to any separate and independent
obligations (A) of Borrower which were created by this Instrument (including,
without limitation, any covenants, agreements or indemnities which are expressly
stated to survive any foreclosures hereof) or which are created under or evidenced
or secured by any other Loan Document or any other document, instrument or agreement
executed in connection herewith, regardless of whether such separate and independent
obligations are secured hereby by virtue of any cross-collateralization or
cross-default provisions or otherwise, or (B) of any other person which is directly,
indirectly or contingently liable with respect to the Secured
Obligations (all such separate and independent obligations being referred to
herein as the Separate Obligations): and
18
(iii) notwithstanding any application of A.R.S. § § 33-814(D) to limit or bar
any action against Borrower with respect to the monetary indebtedness evidenced by
the Note following a trustees sale or sales of the entire Premises, such Section
shall not be applicable to, or in any way limit or impede any action with respect
to, such Separate Obligations or any collateral which might now or hereafter be
given by Borrower as security therefor;
(d) waives all rights of reinstatement following acceleration of the Secured
Obligations secured by this Instrument, including any which might otherwise be available
under A.R.S. § 33-813, it being agreed that Borrower has bargained for the notice and cure
rights given to Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; that such rights
provide Borrower with sufficient opportunity to prevent acceleration following a breach or
default which could become an Event of Default; and that Borrower has agreed in return to
waive any further right of reinstatement following acceleration should no cure be timely
made; and
(e) waives all rights of redemption Borrower might otherwise have under Arizona law
with respect to the Premises or any other collateral, whether by statute, by subrogation, or
otherwise, including without limitation any rights under A.R.S. § § 12-1281 thorough
12-1283.
Section 4.06. UCC Remedies
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred (other than an Event
of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in writing
by Lender), Lender may exercise from time to time and at any time any rights and remedies available
to it under applicable law upon default in the payment of indebtedness, including, without
limitation, any right or remedy available to it as a secured party under the UCC. Borrower shall,
promptly upon request by Lender, assemble the Collateral, or any portion thereof generally
described in such request, and make it available to Lender at such place or places designated by
Lender and reasonably convenient to Lender. If Lender elects to proceed under the UCC to dispose
of portions of the Collateral, Lender, at its option, may give Borrower notice of the time and
place of any public sale of any such property, or of the date after which any private sale or other
disposition thereof is to be made, by sending notice by registered or certified first class mail,
postage prepaid, to Borrower at least 10 days before the time of the sale or other disposition. If
any notice of any proposed sale, assignment or transfer by Lender of any portion of the Collateral
or any interest therein is required by law, Borrower conclusively agrees that 10 days notice to
Borrower of the date, time and place thereof is reasonable.
Section 4.07. Trustee Authorized To Execute Deeds
. Borrower irrevocably appoints Trustee
(which appointment is coupled with an interest) the true and lawful attorney of Borrower, in its
name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or
delivery for the enforcement hereof, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise in
connection with enforcing this Instrument after the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than
an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in
writing by Lender), to execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, releases and
other instruments as may be designated in any such request.
Section 4.08. Purchase of Collateral by Lender
. Lender may be a purchaser of the Collateral
or of any part thereof or of any interest therein at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to power of
sale, foreclosure or otherwise, and Lender may apply to the purchase price thereof the Secured
Obligations.
Section 4.09. Receipt a Sufficient Discharge to Purchaser
. Upon any sale of the Collateral
or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or
otherwise, the receipt of Trustee or the officer making the sale under judicial proceedings shall
be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and such purchaser shall not be
obliged to see to the application thereof.
Section 4.10. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Homestead
. Borrower hereby waives, to the
fullest extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension
and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any
sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein. To the extent allowable by
law, Borrower hereby waives any and all rights to request or require an
appraisal of the Property. In the event of foreclosure pursuant to the provisions hereof,
Lender may, at Lenders option, obtain an appraisal of the Property and any funds expended by
Lender for such propose shall become indebtedness of Borrower to Lender secured by this Instrument
and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within 10 days of demand.
19
Section 4.11. Obligations to Become Due on Sale
. Upon any sale of the Collateral or any
portion thereof or interest therein by virtue of the exercise of any remedy by Lender or Trustee
under or by virtue of this Instrument, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise
in accordance with this Instrument or by virtue of any other remedy available at law or in equity
or by statute or otherwise, at the option of Lender, all Secured Obligations shall, if not
previously declared due and payable, immediately become due and payable, together with interest
accrued thereon and all other indebtedness secured by this Instrument.
Section 4.12. Application of Proceeds of Sale and Other Moneys
. The proceeds of any sale of
the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein under or by virtue of this Instrument,
whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, and all other moneys at any time held
by Lender or Trustee as part of the Collateral, shall be applied as follows:
FIRST, fees, expenses or indemnities to enforce this Instrument or then due to Lender or
Trustee;
SECOND, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any other fees, expenses or indemnities then
due to Lender;
THIRD, to pay interest due in respect of the Loan;
FOURTH, to pay the principal outstanding with respect to the Loan;
FIFTH, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations; and
SIXTH, to Borrower.
Section 4.13. Appointment of Receiver
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred (other
than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been
cured in writing by Lender), Lender shall, as a matter of right and without regard to the adequacy
of any security for the Secured Obligations secured hereby or the solvency of Borrower, be entitled
to the appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Collateral, whether such receivership
be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or otherwise, and Borrower hereby consents to
the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment.
Section 4.14. Possession, Management and Income
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
(other than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having
been cured in writing by Lender), in addition to, not in limitation of, the rights and remedies
provided in Section 2.10, Lender, upon five days notice to Borrower, may enter upon and take
possession of the Collateral or any part thereof by force, summary proceeding, ejectment or
otherwise and may remove Borrower and all other persons and any and all property therefrom and may
hold, operate, maintain, repair, preserve and manage the same and receive all earnings, income,
Rents, issues and proceeds accruing with respect thereto or any part thereof. Lender shall be
under no liability for or by reason of any such taking of possession, entry, removal or holding,
operation or management.
Section 4.15. Right of Lender to Perform Borrowers Covenants
. During the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lender, without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or
releasing any obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time
thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrower,
and may enter upon the Collateral for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Lenders
opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry and no such action shall be
deemed an eviction of any Tenant or other person with the right to use or occupy all or any portion
of the Property or any part thereof. After the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an
Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in
writing by Lender), all sums so paid by Lender and all costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses)
so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment or
incurring, shall constitute additional indebtedness secured by this Instrument and shall be paid by
Borrower to Lender within 10 days of demand.
20
Section 4.16. Subrogation
. To the extent that Lender, on or after the date hereof, pays any
sum due under any provision of any legal requirement or any instrument creating any Lien prior or
superior to the Lien of this Instrument, or Borrower or any other person pays any such sum with the
proceeds of the Loan evidenced by the Note, Lender shall have and be entitled to a Lien on the
Collateral equal in priority to the Lien discharged, and Lender shall be subrogated to, and receive
and enjoy all rights and liens possessed, held or enjoyed by, the holder of such Lien, that shall
remain in existence and benefit Lender in securing the Obligations.
Section 4.17. Remedies Cumulative
. Each right, power and remedy of Lender and Trustee
provided for in this Instrument or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power
or remedy provided for in this Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by
Lender or Trustee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this
Instrument, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lender or Trustee of any or all such other rights,
powers or remedies.
Section 4.18. Provisions Subject to Applicable Law
. All rights, powers and remedies provided
in this Instrument may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate
any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that
they will not render this Instrument invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded,
registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of this Instrument or
any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Instrument and any
other application of such term shall not be affected thereby.
Section 4.19. No Waiver, Compromise of Actions
. No failure by Lender to insist upon the
strict performance of any term hereof or of any other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right,
power or remedy consequent upon a breach hereof or thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such
term or of any such breach. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Instrument, which
shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
breach. By accepting payment or performance of any amount or other Secured Obligation before or
after its due date, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived its right either to require prompt
payment or performance when due of all other amounts payable hereunder and the Secured Obligations
or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment. Any action, suit or proceeding
brought by Lender pursuant to any of the terms of this Instrument, any Loan Document or otherwise,
and any claim made by Lender hereunder or thereunder may be compromised, withdrawn or otherwise
dealt with by Lender without any notice to or approval of Borrower.
Section 4.20. Provisions with Respect to the Leases
. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 4.01(m) or Section 4.01(n) (each, an Operator Default) to the contrary, a termination of
any of the Leases or the occurrence of an event of default or a breach or default (however

policies of title insurance in form and amount satisfactory to Lender naming Lender as the
insured, insuring the title to and the first lien of this Instrument on the Property with
endorsements reasonably requested by Lender and (ii) a survey of the Property in form and
substance acceptable to Lender and title insurer.
Section 2.03. Title Insurance
. All proceeds received by and payable to Lender for any loss
under any loan policy or policies of title insurance delivered to Lender shall be the property of

applicable.
Section 2.04. Impositions
. Borrower will pay or cause to be paid all taxes, insurance
premiums, assessments, water and sewer rates, ground rents, fees and other charges (collectively,
the Impositions) that at any time may be assessed, levied, confirmed or imposed or that may
become a Lien upon the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or that are payable with respect
thereto, prior to delinquency, before any fine, penalty or interest may be added for non-payment
and before the commencement of any action to foreclose any Lien against all or any portion of the
Collateral with respect thereto. Borrower will deliver to Lender, upon request, copies of official
receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. Borrower shall not be entitled to

at any time thereafter, Borrower shall pay in addition to each monthly payment under the Note,
one-twelfth of the Impositions payable during each year (as estimated by Lender in its sole
discretion), to be held by Lender without interest to Borrower, for the payment of such
obligations. If the amount of such additional payments held by Lender (the Funds) at the time of
the annual accounting thereof shall exceed the amount deemed necessary by Lender to provide for the
payment of Impositions as they fall due, such excess shall be at Borrowers option, either repaid
to Borrower or credited to Borrower on the next monthly installment or installments of Funds due.
If at any time the amount of the Funds held by Lender shall be less than the amount deemed
necessary by Lender to pay Impositions as they fall due, Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount
necessary to make up the deficiency within 30 days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting
payment thereof. Lender may apply, in any amount and in any order as Lender shall determine in
Lenders sole discretion, any Funds held by Lender at the time of application (i) to pay
Impositions which are now or will hereafter become due or (ii) as a credit against the Secured
Obligations. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations, Lender shall refund to Borrower any
Funds held by Lender.
Section 2.05. Liens
. Borrower will not directly or indirectly create or permit or suffer to
be created or to remain, and will promptly discharge or cause to be discharged, any deed of trust,
mortgage, encumbrance or charge on, pledge of, security interest in or conditional sale or other
title retention agreement with respect to or any other lien on or in the Collateral or any part
thereof or the interest of Borrower or Lender therein (herein, Liens), or any proceeds or Rents
or other sums arising therefrom other than Permitted Exceptions.
Section 2.06. Compliance with Instruments
. Borrower, at its expense, will promptly comply
with all rights of way or use, privileges, franchises, servitudes, licenses, easements, tenements,
hereditaments and appurtenances forming a part of the Collateral and all instruments creating or

or cause to be kept all presently and subsequently erected or acquired Improvements and the
sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault space, if any, located on or adjoining the same, and the streets

that the value and utility of the Collateral will not be materially diminished, and, at its sole
cost and expense, will promptly make or cause to be made all necessary and appropriate repairs,
replacements and renewals thereof, whether interior or exterior, structural or nonstructural,
ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, so that its business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly conducted at all times. All repairs, replacements and renewals shall be
equal or greater in quality and class to the original Improvements. Borrower, at its expense, will
do or cause to be done all shoring of foundations and walls of any building or other Improvements
on the Premises and (to the extent permitted by law) of the ground adjacent thereto, and every
other act necessary or appropriate for the preservation and safety of the Property by reason of or
in connection with any excavation or other building operation upon the Premises and upon any
adjoining property, whether or not Borrower shall be required to take such action or be liable for
failure to do so.
Section 2.08. Alterations, Additions
. Borrower shall not make or cause to be made any
alterations of and additions to the Property or any part thereof without prior written consent of
Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however
, that Borrower may make
nonstructural additions to the Property costing less than $1,000,000 per year without Lenders
consent so long as such additions do not diminish the value of the Property. If Lender consents to
any alterations or additions to the Property, such alterations or additions shall be made at
Borrowers sole expense by a licensed contractor and according to the plans and specifications
approved by Lender and subject to any other conditions required by Lender. Any work commenced on
the Property shall be diligently completed, shall be of good workmanship and materials and shall

. All right, title and interest of Borrower
in and to all alterations, improvements, substitutions, restorations and replacements of, and all
additions and appurtenances to, the Property hereafter acquired by Borrower, whether such property
is acquired by exchange, purchase, construction or otherwise, shall forthwith become subject to the
Lien of this Instrument without further action on the part of Borrower or Lender. Upon the request
of Lender, Borrower, at its expense, will execute and deliver (and will record and file as provided
herein) an instrument or document supplemental to this Instrument satisfactory in substance and
form to Lender, whenever such an instrument or document is necessary under applicable law to
subject to the Lien of this Instrument all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all
property provided or required by this Instrument to be subject to the Lien hereof.
Section 2.10. Assignment of Rents and Leases
.
(a) The assignment, grant and conveyance of the Leases, Rents and all other rents,
income, proceeds and benefits of the Collateral contained in the granting clause of this
Instrument shall constitute an absolute, present and irrevocable assignment, grant and
conveyance, provided that, until an Event of Default has occurred, a license is hereby given
to Borrower to collect, receive and apply Rents, as they become due and payable, but not in
advance thereof, and in accordance with all of the other terms, conditions and provisions
hereof and of the Leases, contracts, agreements and other instruments with respect to which
such payments are made. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such license shall be
revoked and shall terminate, immediately and automatically without notice to Borrower or any
other person (to the extent permitted by law), and shall not be reinstated upon a cure of
such Event of Default without the express written consent of Lender. Such assignment shall
be fully effective without any further action on the part of Borrower or Lender, and Lender
shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, to
collect, receive and apply all Rents and all other rents, income, proceeds and benefits from
the Collateral, including all right, title and interest of Borrower in any escrowed sums or
deposits or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether or not Lender takes possession
of the Collateral or any part thereof. The collection of such amounts by Lender shall in no
way waive the right of Lender to foreclose this Instrument in the event of any Event of
Default. Nothing contained herein and no exercise of any right or privilege hereunder by
Lender shall be construed to constitute Lender as a mortgagee-in-possession. All Rents and
all other rents, income, proceeds and benefits of the Collateral received by Borrower from
or related to the Collateral or any part thereof, from and after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, shall be deemed received in trust and shall be turned over to Lender within one
Business Day after Borrowers receipt thereof. Borrower further grants to Lender the right,
at Lenders option, to:
(i) enter upon and take possession of the Property for the purpose of
collecting Rents and all other rents, income, proceeds and other benefits;
(ii) dispossess by the customary summary proceedings any Tenant, purchaser or
other person defaulting in the payment of any amount when and as due and payable, or
in the performance of any other obligation, under the Leases, contract or other
instrument to which said Rents or other rents, income, proceeds or benefits relate;
(iii) let or convey the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest
therein; and
(iv) apply Rents and such other rents, income, proceeds and benefits, after the
payment of all necessary fees, charges and expenses, on account of the Secured
Obligations in accordance with Section 3.03.
(v) Lender shall be under no obligation to exercise or prosecute any of the
rights or claims assigned to it hereunder or to perform or carry out any of the
obligations of the lessor under any of the Leases and does not assume any of the
liabilities in connection with or arising or growing out of the covenants and
agreements of Borrower in the Leases. It is further understood that the assignment
granted hereunder shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care,
management or repair of the Property, or parts thereof, upon Lender, nor shall it
operate to make Lender liable for the performance of any of the terms and conditions
of any of the Leases, or for any waste of the Property by any Tenant under any of the Leases or any other
person, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any
negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in
loss or injury or death to any lessee, licensee, employee or stranger.
8
(b) Borrower represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with Lender that, other than as
set forth on Schedule 3, there are no existing Leases, and Borrower will not enter into any
other Lease without the prior written consent of Lender.
(c) Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with power of substitution and with full power for Lender in its own name and capacity or in
the name and capacity of Borrower, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, to demand, collect, receive and give complete acquittances for any
and all Rents accruing from the Property that Lender may deem necessary or desirable in
order to collect and enforce the payment of the Rents and to demand, correct, receive,
endorse, and deposit all checks, drafts, money orders or notes given in payment of such
Rents. Such appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Lender shall not
be liable for or prejudiced by any loss of any note, checks, drafts, etc., unless such loss
shall have been found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been due to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Borrower also hereby irrevocably appoints
Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to appear in any state or federal bankruptcy,
insolvency, or reorganization proceeding in any state or federal court involving any of the
Tenants of the Leases. Lessees of the Property are hereby expressly authorized and
directed, from and after service of a notice by Lender to pay any and all amounts due
Borrower pursuant to the Leases to Lender or such nominee as Lender may designate in writing
delivered to and received by such Tenants, and such Tenants are expressly relieved of any
and all duty, liability or obligation to Borrower in respect of all payments so made.
Section 2.11. No Claims Against Lender
. Nothing contained in this Instrument shall
constitute any consent or request by Lender, express or implied, for the performance of any labor
or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part
thereof, or be construed to permit the making of any claim against Lender in respect of labor or
services or the furnishing of any materials or other property or any claim that any Lien based on
the performance of such labor or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to
the Lien of this Instrument. Borrower shall make all contractors, subcontractors, vendors and
other persons dealing with the Property, or with any persons interested therein, take notice of the
provisions of this Section.
Section 2.12. Indemnification
.
(a) Whether or not covered by insurance, Borrower hereby assumes responsibility for and
agrees to reimburse Lender, its affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors,
employees and agents (individually and collectively, the Indemnified Parties) for and will
indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, suits, actions, proceedings,
judgments, awards, amounts paid in settlements, debts, diminutions in value, fines,
penalties, charges, fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and
expenses) of whatsoever kind and nature, imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnified Party that in any way relate to or arise out of any of the Loan Documents, the
transactions contemplated thereby and the Collateral, including, without limitation, (i) the

Collateral, (ii) the ownership of the Collateral, (iii) the delivery, installation, lease,
possession, maintenance, use, condition, return or operation of the Collateral, (iv) the
condition of the Collateral sold or otherwise disposed of after possession by Borrower, (v)
any patent or copyright infringement, (vi) any act or omission on the part of Borrower,
Guarantor or any of its or their officers, employees, agents, contractors, lessees,
licensees or invitees, (vii) any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in any representation or
warranty of Borrower or Guarantor, or a breach of Borrower or Guarantor of any of its
covenants or obligations under any of the Loan Documents, (viii) any claim, loss, cost or
expense involving alleged damage to the environment relating to the Collateral, including,
without limitation, investigation, removal, cleanup and remedial costs, (ix) any personal
injury, wrongful death or property damage arising under any statutory or common law or tort
law theory, including, without limitation, damages assessed
9
for the maintenance of a private
or public nuisance or for the conducting of an abnormally dangerous activity on or near the Collateral, (x) any
past, present or threatened injury to, or destruction of, the Collateral, including, without
limitation, costs to investigate and assess such injury or damage, (xi) any administrative
process or proceeding or judicial or other similar proceeding (including, without
limitation, any alternative dispute resolution process and any bankruptcy proceeding) in any
way connected with any matter addressed in any of the Loan Documents, (xii) any use, non-use
or condition of the Property or any part thereof or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults
and vault spaces, if any, streets, alleys or ways, (xiii) performance of any labor or
services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Collateral
or any part thereof made or suffered to be made by or on behalf of Borrower or any Tenant,
(xiv) any work in connection with any alterations, changes, new construction or demolition
of or additions to the Property or (xv)(A) any Hazardous Materials on, in, under or
affecting all or any portion of the Property, the groundwater, or any surrounding areas, (B)
any violation or claim of violation by Borrower or any Tenant of any Environmental Laws or
(C) the imposition of any Lien for damages caused by or the recovery of any costs for the
cleanup of Hazardous Materials or any Release.
(b) If any action or proceeding be commenced, to which action or proceeding the
Indemnified Parties are made a party by reason of the execution of this Instrument or the
Loan Documents, or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the Lien of this
Instrument, all sums paid by the Indemnified Parties, for the expense of any litigation to
prosecute or defend the rights and Lien created hereby or otherwise, shall be paid by
Borrower to such Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided. Borrower
will pay and save the Indemnified Parties harmless against any and all liability with
respect to any intangible personal property tax or similar imposition of the State or any
subdivision or authority thereof now or hereafter in effect, to the extent that the same may
be payable by the Indemnified Parties in respect of this Instrument or any Secured
Obligation.
(c) All amounts payable to the Indemnified Parties under this Section shall be deemed
indebtedness secured by this Instrument, and any such amounts that are not paid within 30
days after written demand therefor by any Indemnified Party shall bear interest at the
highest Default Rate from the date of such demand. In case any action, suit or proceeding
is brought against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, Borrower, upon
request of such Indemnified Parties, will, at Borrowers expense, resist and defend such
action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted or defended by counsel
designated by Lender. The obligations of Borrower under this Section shall survive any
satisfaction, discharge or reconveyance of this Instrument and payment in full of the
Obligations. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for
any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable
law.

in any reports issued in connection with such investigations, studies, sampling and testing and in
accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws and (e) Borrower shall cause compliance by all
Tenants and sub-tenants on the Property with Borrowers covenants and agreements contained in this
Section. Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of any investigation, demand, or claim affecting
the Property made by any third party.

. Following the occurrence of an Event of
Default (other than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as
having been cured in writing by Lender), Lender shall have the right, from time to time during the
term of this Instrument, to obtain one or more fair market value appraisals of the Property from
one or more MAI certified appraisers in such form as is satisfactory to Lender. The cost of any
such appraisal(s) shall be paid by Borrower.
10
Section 2.15. Instrument as UCC Security Agreement and Fixture Filing
. This Instrument shall
constitute a security agreement, a financing statement and a fixture filing pursuant to the UCC for
any of the items specified herein as part of the Collateral that, under applicable law, may be

. Borrower represents,
warrants and covenants for the benefit of Lender, as follows:
(a) Borrower is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Borrower is in good
standing and is duly licensed or qualified to transact business in the State and in each
other jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires such qualification, except for
those jurisdictions in which the failure to qualify could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. Borrowers exact legal name is as set forth on the execution

this Instrument, the Note and each other Loan Document to which it is a party and to own its
property, (ii) use the Collateral and (iii) conduct its business substantially as currently
conducted by it, except as to clause (iii) where the failure to hold such licenses, permits
and approvals could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their
respective terms, except to the extent limited by bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws
of general application relating to or effecting the enforcement of creditors rights.
(d) The execution and delivery of this Instrument, the Note and the other Loan
Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the

conditions of the articles of organization or operating agreement of Borrower or of any
corporate restriction or of any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is now a party and

obtained or taken and is in full force and effect.
(f) There is no action, suit, proceeding, claim, inquiry or investigation, at law or in
equity, before or by any court, regulatory agency, public board or body pending or, to the
best of Borrowers knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower or Guarantor (other
than those described in Guarantors public filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC)), challenging Borrowers or Guarantors authority to enter into this
Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents or any other action wherein an
unfavorable ruling or finding would adversely affect the enforceability of this Instrument,
the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(g) Borrower is in compliance with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of
governmental authorities applicable to it and its properties except to the extent the
non-compliance with which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

(h) Borrower has heretofore furnished to Lender the financial statements of Borrower
and Guarantor for their fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and the unaudited financial
statement of Borrower and Guarantor and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and
those statements fairly present the financial condition of Borrower and Guarantor, if any,
on the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended and were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Since the date of the most recent
financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the business, properties
or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or Guarantor. Except as disclosed in the
Financial Statements or the notes thereto, neither Borrower nor Guarantor, as of the Closing
Date, has or will have any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been
set aside on its books.

the State. Borrowers residence for federal income tax purposes is located at its address
specified in the preamble to this Instrument. Borrower has authorized Lender to file

created pursuant to this Instrument and the other Loan Documents. When such financing
statements are filed in the offices noted therein, Lender will have a valid and perfected
security interest in the Collateral that constitutes personal property, subject to no other
Lien.
(k) None of the Collateral constitutes a replacement of, substitution for or accessory
to any property of Borrower subject to a lien of any kind.
(l) Except where any failure could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, Borrower has obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations which
are required under all Environmental Laws at Borrowers facilities or in connection with the
operation of its business. Except where any failure could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower and all activities of Borrower at its
facilities comply with all Environmental Laws and with all terms and conditions of any
required permits, licenses and authorizations applicable to Borrower with respect thereto.
Except where any failure could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, Borrower is also in compliance with all limitations, restrictions, conditions,
standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in
Environmental Laws or contained in any plan, order, decree, judgment or notice of which
Borrower is aware. Borrower is not aware of, nor has Borrower received notice of, any
events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, actions or plans which
may interfere with or prevent continued compliance with, or which may give rise to any
liability under, any Environmental Laws.
(m) All factual information heretofor or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of
Borrower or Guarantor in writing to Lender for purposes of or in connection with this
Instrument or any transaction contemplated hereby is, and all other such factual information
hereafter furnished by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor to Lender will be, true and
correct in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or
certified, and such information is not, or shall not be, as the case may be, incomplete by
omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information not misleading.
(n) Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is engaged principally, or as one of its important
activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
margin stock. None of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of, or be
made available by Borrower or Guarantor in any manner to any other person to enable or
assist such person in, directly or indirectly purchasing or carrying margin stock. Terms
for which meanings are provided in F.R.S. Board Regulation T, U or X or any regulations
substituted therefor, as from time to time in effect, are used in this subsection with such
meanings.

Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby and, after giving effect to such
transactions, neither Borrower nor Guarantor will be left with an unreasonably small amount
of capital with which to engage in its business, and neither Borrower or Guarantor intends
to incur, or believes that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature.

liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of Borrower or Guarantor or any of their
assets. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is entering into the transactions contemplated by
the Loan Documents with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Borrowers or
Guarantors creditors.

$5,000,000;
(iii) promptly upon knowledge thereof, notice of any loss, theft or destruction
of or material damage to, any accident involving any, and any action, suit or
proceeding relating to, Collateral having a value in excess of $500,000 (whether in

all governmental rules and regulations and all other applicable laws, rules, regulations and
orders, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws.
(s) Borrower will keep books and records that accurately reflect in all material
respects all of its business affairs and transactions. Borrower will, and will cause
Guarantor to, permit Lender or any of its representatives (including outside auditors), at
reasonable times and intervals (but, absent the occurrence of an Event of Default, not to
exceed two times in any fiscal year), to visit all of its offices, to discuss its financial
matters with its officers and independent public accountant (and Borrower hereby authorizes
such independent accountant to discuss Borrowers financial matters with Lender or its
representatives whether or not any representative of Borrower is present) and to examine
(and, at the expense of Borrower, copy extracts from) books or other corporate records
(including computer records). If Lender exercises its rights under this subsection

been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in writing by Lender),

Borrower shall not be required to cause Guarantor to comply with the foregoing for any
period that Guarantor is subject to regulation by the SEC.

at least 30 days prior to such expiration that Borrower is unable to deliver such
replacement insurance at least 30 days prior to such expiration; (ii) Borrower provides

same for disposition in accordance with Section 3.03 or Section 3.04, as applicable. Borrower will
pay all reasonable costs and expenses, if any, incurred by Lender in
connection with any such damage, destruction or Taking and seeking and obtaining any insurance

replacement of the Collateral, Borrower shall use such amounts for such restoration or
replacement. In the event that, after the restoration or replacement of the Collateral, any

(d) If, prior to the receipt by Borrower of such insurance proceeds, the Collateral
shall have been sold on foreclosure, Lender shall have the right to receive said insurance

thereon, but only to the extent of a deficiency judgment sought or recovered or denied, and
the reasonable attorneys fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection
with the collection of such proceeds.

as having been cured in writing by Lender), Lender may, by notice to Borrower, declare all or any
portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable,
whereupon the full unpaid amount of the Loan and other Secured Obligations which shall be so

by Borrower. Borrower will pay on demand all costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of one counsel, incurred by or on behalf of Lender in
enforcing this Instrument, the Secured Obligations or the Loan Documents or occasioned by any Event
of Default hereunder or thereunder.
Section 4.03. Legal Proceedings; Foreclosure
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
(other than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having
been cured in writing by Lender), Lender at any time may, at Lenders sole discretion, proceed at
law or in equity or otherwise to enforce the payment of the Obligations and the Trustee shall have
the right to foreclose the Lien of this Instrument as against all or any part of the Collateral and
to have the same sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Lender
and/or Trustee shall be entitled to recover in such proceedings all costs incident thereto,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses in such amounts as may be
fixed by the court.
Section 4.04. Power of Sale
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred (other than an Event
of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in writing
by Lender), the Trustee or Lender may (as permitted by law), at Lenders sole discretion, sell,
assign, transfer and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral, or any
interest in any part thereof, at any private sale or at public auction, with or without demand,
advertisement or notice, for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future
delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as Trustee may determine, or as may be
required by law. Without limiting the authority granted in the immediately preceding sentence,
Trustee shall, without demand on Borrower, after the lapse of such time as may then be required by
law, and notice of default and notice of sale having been given as then required by law (including,
without limitation, such notices as may be required by Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code),
as amended, sell the Collateral on the date and at the time and place designated in the notice of
sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine, but
subject to any statutory right of Borrower to direct the order in which such property, if
consisting of several known lots, parcels or interests, shall be sold, at public auction to the
highest bidder, the purchase price payable in lawful money of the United States at the time of
sale. Trustee, or the one conducting the sale may, for any cause deemed
expedient, postpone the sale from time to time until it shall be completed and, in every such
case, notice of postponement shall be given by public declaration thereof by such person at the
time and place last appointed for the sale; provided that, if the sale is postponed for longer than
10 days beyond the day designated in the notice of sale, notice of sale and notice of the time,
date and place of sale shall be given in the same manner as the original notice of sale. Trustee
shall execute and deliver to the purchaser at any such sale a deed conveying the property so sold,
but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters
or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Lender, may
bid at the sale
18
Section 4.05. Deficiency
. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 51.003, 51.004, and
51.005 of the Texas Property Code, as amended, and to the extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees
that Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Borrower and any other party
obligated on the Secured Obligations equal to the difference between the amount owing on the
Secured Obligations and the amount for which the Property was sold pursuant to judicial or
nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Borrower expressly recognizes that this section constitutes a waiver
of the above-cited provisions of the Texas Property Code which would otherwise permit Borrower and
other persons against whom recovery of deficiencies is sought or any guarantor independently (even
absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the
fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale and offset against any
deficiency the amount by which the foreclosure sale price is determined to be less than such fair
market value. Borrower further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates an irrebuttable
presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Property for
purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Borrower, any guarantor, and others against whom
recovery of a deficiency is sought.
Alternatively, in the event the waiver provided for above is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the following shall be the basis for the finder of
facts determination of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure
sale in proceedings governed by Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code, as
amended: (i) the Property shall be valued in an as is condition as of the date of the
foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Property will be repaired or
improved in any manner before a resale of the Property after foreclosure; (ii) the valuation shall
be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Property for
cash promptly (but no later than twelve (12) months) following the foreclosure sale; (iii) all
reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions
should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Property, including, without limitation,
brokerage commissions, title insurance, a survey of the Property, tax prorations, attorneys fees,
and marketing costs; (iv) the gross fair market value of the Property shall be further discounted
to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Property pending sale,
including, without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, taxes and assessments
(to the extent not accounted for in (iii) above), and other maintenance, operational and ownership
expenses; and (v) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a
determination of the fair market value of the Property must be given by persons having at least
five (5) years experience in appraising property similar to the Property and who have conducted and
prepared a complete written appraisal of the Property taking into consideration the factors set
forth above.
Section 4.06. UCC Remedies
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred (other than an Event
of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in writing
by Lender), Lender may exercise from time to time and at any time any rights and remedies available
to it under applicable law upon default in the payment of indebtedness, including, without
limitation, any right or remedy available to it as a secured party under the UCC. Borrower shall,
promptly upon request by Lender, assemble the Collateral, or any portion thereof generally
described in such request, and make it available to Lender at such place or places designated by
Lender and reasonably convenient to Lender. If Lender elects to proceed under the UCC to dispose
of portions of the Collateral, Lender, at its option, may give Borrower notice of the time and
place of any public sale of any such property, or of the date after which any private sale or other
disposition thereof is to be made, by sending notice by registered or certified first class mail,
postage prepaid, to Borrower at least 10 days before the time of the sale or other disposition. If
any notice of any proposed sale, assignment or transfer by Lender of any portion of the Collateral
or any interest therein is required by law, Borrower conclusively agrees that 10 days notice to
Borrower of the date, time and place thereof is reasonable.
19
Section 4.07. Trustee Authorized To Execute Deeds
. Borrower irrevocably appoints Trustee
(which appointment is coupled with an interest) the true and lawful attorney of Borrower, in its
name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or
delivery for the enforcement hereof, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise in
connection with enforcing this Instrument after the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than
an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in
writing by Lender), to execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, releases and
other instruments as may be designated in any such request.
Section 4.08. Purchase of Collateral by Lender
. Lender may be a purchaser of the Collateral
or of any part thereof or of any interest therein at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to power of
sale, foreclosure or otherwise, and Lender may apply to the purchase price thereof the Secured
Obligations.
Section 4.09. Receipt a Sufficient Discharge to Purchaser
. Upon any sale of the Collateral
or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or
otherwise, the receipt of Trustee or the officer making the sale under judicial proceedings shall
be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and such purchaser shall not be
obliged to see to the application thereof.
Section 4.10. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Homestead
. Borrower hereby waives, to the
fullest extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension
and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any
sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein. To the extent allowable by
law, Borrower hereby waives any and all rights to request or require an appraisal of the Property.
In the event of foreclosure pursuant to the provisions hereof, Lender may, at Lenders option,
obtain an appraisal of the Property and any funds expended by Lender for such propose shall become
indebtedness of Borrower to Lender secured by this Instrument and shall be paid by Borrower to
Lender within 10 days of demand.
Section 4.11. Obligations to Become Due on Sale
. Upon any sale of the Collateral or any
portion thereof or interest therein by virtue of the exercise of any remedy by Lender or Trustee
under or by virtue of this Instrument, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise
in accordance with this Instrument or by virtue of any other remedy available at law or in equity
or by statute or otherwise, at the option of Lender, all Secured Obligations shall, if not
previously declared due and payable, immediately become due and payable, together with interest
accrued thereon and all other indebtedness secured by this Instrument.
Section 4.12. Application of Proceeds of Sale and Other Moneys
. The proceeds of any sale of
the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein under or by virtue of this Instrument,
whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, and all other moneys at any time held
by Lender or Trustee as part of the Collateral, shall be applied as follows:
FIRST, fees, expenses or indemnities to enforce this Instrument or then due to Lender or
Trustee;
SECOND, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any other fees, expenses or indemnities then
due to Lender;
THIRD, to pay interest due in respect of the Loan;
FOURTH, to pay the principal outstanding with respect to the Loan;
FIFTH, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations; and
SIXTH, to Borrower.
Section 4.13. Appointment of Receiver
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred (other
than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been
cured in writing by Lender), Lender shall, as a matter of right and without regard to the adequacy
of any security for the Secured Obligations secured hereby or the solvency of Borrower, be entitled
to the appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the
Collateral, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or
otherwise, and Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose
any such appointment.
20
Section 4.14. Possession, Management and Income
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
(other than an Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having
been cured in writing by Lender), in addition to, not in limitation of, the rights and remedies
provided in Section 2.10, to the extent allowed by Texas law, Lender, upon five days notice to
Borrower, may enter upon and take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof by force,
summary proceeding, ejectment or otherwise and may remove Borrower and all other persons and any
and all property therefrom and may hold, operate, maintain, repair, preserve and manage the same
and receive all earnings, income, Rents, issues and proceeds accruing with respect thereto or any
part thereof. Lender shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such taking of
possession, entry, removal or holding, operation or management.
Section 4.15. Right of Lender to Perform Borrowers Covenants
. During the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lender, without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or
releasing any obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time
thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrower,
and may enter upon the Collateral for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Lenders
opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry and no such action shall be
deemed an eviction of any Tenant or other person with the right to use or occupy all or any portion
of the Property or any part thereof. After the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an
Event of default that has been waived in writing by Lender or confirmed as having been cured in
writing by Lender), all sums so paid by Lender and all costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest thereon at
the Default Rate from the date of payment or incurring, shall constitute additional indebtedness
secured by this Instrument and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within 10 days of demand.
Section 4.16. Subrogation
. To the extent that Lender, on or after the date hereof, pays any
sum due under any provision of any legal requirement or any instrument creating any Lien prior or
superior to the Lien of this Instrument, or Borrower or any other person pays any such sum with the
proceeds of the Loan evidenced by the Note, Lender shall have and be entitled to a Lien on the
Collateral equal in priority to the Lien discharged, and Lender shall be subrogated to, and receive
and enjoy all rights and liens possessed, held or enjoyed by, the holder of such Lien, that shall
remain in existence and benefit Lender in securing the Obligations.
Section 4.17. Remedies Cumulative
. Each right, power and remedy of Lender and Trustee
provided for in this Instrument or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power
or remedy provided for in this Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by
Lender or Trustee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this
Instrument, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lender or Trustee of any or all such other rights,
powers or remedies.
Section 4.18. Provisions Subject to Applicable Law
. All rights, powers and remedies provided
in this Instrument may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate
any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that
they will not render this Instrument invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded,
registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of this Instrument or
any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Instrument and any
other application of such term shall not be affected thereby.
Section 4.19. No Waiver, Compromise of Actions
. No failure by Lender to insist upon the
strict performance of any term hereof or of any other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right,
power or remedy consequent upon a breach hereof or thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such
term or of any such breach. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Instrument, which
shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
breach. By accepting payment or performance of any amount or other Secured Obligation before or
after its due date, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived its right either to require prompt
payment or performance when due of all other amounts payable hereunder and the Secured Obligations
or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment. Any action, suit or proceeding
brought by Lender pursuant to any of the terms of this Instrument, any Loan Document or otherwise, and any claim made by
Lender hereunder or thereunder may be compromised, withdrawn or otherwise dealt with by Lender
without any notice to or approval of Borrower.
