which loan is secured, in part, by the Property.

                  C. In connection with the Foothill Loan, in order to address
the priority of certain liens and other rights and obligations of Foothill and
Trustee, Foothill and Trustee have entered into that certain Intercreditor

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
agreements hereinafter contained and other good and valuable consideration, the
