ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

     On October 1, 2008,  Mission West  Properties,  Inc. and its four operating
partnerships  (the  "Company")  entered  into a fixed  rate term  agreement  and
related  contracts  and  instruments  for a secured  mortgage loan totaling $115
million  from  Hartford  Life  Insurance  Company,  Hartford  Life and  Accident
Insurance Company and Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (the "Hartford
Loan").  The Hartford Loan bears a fixed interest rate of 6.21%,  with a 20 year
amortization,  and  matures  October  1,  2018,  at which  time any  outstanding
principal  and interest  will be due.  Pursuant to the loan  agreement,  monthly
principal and interest  installment  payments of approximately $0.84 million are
due on the first day of each  month.  The  Hartford  Loan is  secured  by twenty
properties  consisting of  approximately  1.6 million  rentable square feet. The
Company has the option to prepay the  Hartford  Loan,  subject to certain  yield
maintenance  provisions,  though generally no prepayment is permitted during the
first 24 months of the loan term.

     In general,  the  properties  securing the Hartford  Loan cannot be sold or
otherwise  transferred  without the  lender's  consent.  The loan balance may be
accelerated in full in the event of a prohibited sale or transfer.  The Hartford
Loan is nonrecourse to the operating partnerships. Under the terms of a carveout
indemnity agreement and an environmental indemnity agreement, the Company may be
liable for the unpaid balance of the Hartford Loan and other obligations arising
under the circumstances provided in such agreements.

     The Company  paid  approximately  $1.0  million in loan fees and  financing
costs,  which will be amortized over the ten year loan period. The proceeds were
used primarily to repay the remaining  balance of an existing mortgage loan with
Prudential Mortgage Capital Company and to provide other working capital needs.

     Payment Date.


     (b) On the  Maturity  Date,  Borrower  shall  pay to Lender  all  principal
outstanding  under the Note or  otherwise  in respect of the Loan,  accrued  and

prepayments  under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later
than 2:00 p.m.  (Hartford,  Connecticut  time) on the date when due and shall be
made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in federal
or other  immediately  available  funds to its account at such bank(s) as Lender
may from time to time designate by delivering  written  notice to Borrower.  Any
funds  received by Lender  after such time shall,  for all purposes  hereof,  be
deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding  Business Day. All payments made
by Borrower hereunder,  or by any Borrower Party under the other Loan Documents,
shall be made  irrespective  of, and without any  deduction  for, any  defenses,
set-offs or  counterclaims.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder  shall be

prepayments of the principal balance of the Note shall be allowed.

     (b) At any time  following  the last day of the  Lockout  Period (or on and
after October 1, 2009 in connection with a Partial  Release  pursuant to Section
7.15),  upon issuance of a Prepayment  Notice,  Borrower shall have the right to
prepay the outstanding  principal  balance of the Note in full (but not in part,
except as expressly  permitted in Sections 3.2(i), 3.3, 7.5, 7.15 or 9.3) on any
Business Day by paying the sum of (i) the entire remaining outstanding principal
balance of the Note,  plus (ii) all unpaid  interest  accrued on the  prepayment
amount,  plus (iii) all other  Obligations,  plus (iv) a prepayment fee equal to
the Applicable Prepayment Fee.

     (c) Each  Prepayment  Notice shall specify the intended date of prepayment,
which date shall be a Business Day. After delivery of a Prepayment  Notice,  the
amounts  payable  under  Section  2.4(b) shall be due and payable in full on the
date  specified in such  Prepayment  Notice unless a Borrower  Party  delivers a
written  revocation  notice to Lender at least three (3) Business  Days prior to
the scheduled  prepayment date, and failure to pay the same in full on such date
without proper  revocation  shall,  at Lender's  option,  constitute an Event of
Default,  without  notice or  opportunity  to cure. If the amounts  necessary to
prepay the Loan in accordance with the terms and provisions  hereof are received
by Lender after 2:00 p.m. (Hartford, Connecticut time), such prepayment shall be
deemed to have been made on the next occurring  Business Day and Lender shall be
entitled to (i) recalculate  the Applicable  Prepayment Fee associated with such
prepayment, and (ii) receive interest on the outstanding principal balance to be
prepaid,  calculated at the Contract  Rate or the Default  Rate, as  applicable,
through the effective date of such prepayment.

                                       13


     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or
any other Loan  Document,  at any time  between  July 1, 2018 and the  Scheduled
Maturity  Date,  upon issuance of a Prepayment  Notice,  Borrower shall have the
right to prepay the outstanding  principal  balance of the Loan in full (but not
in part,  except as expressly  permitted in Sections  3.2(i),  3.3, 7.5, 7.15 or
9.3),  without premium or additional fees or expenses  (including any Applicable
Prepayment Fee), by paying the entire remaining outstanding principal balance of
the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest  hereunder,  and all other Obligations
(provided   that  Borrower   shall  not  be  entitled  to  the  benefit  of  the
above-described   open  prepayment   period  when   calculating  the  Applicable
Prepayment  Fee for any  prepayment  that is  tendered at any time prior to said
open prepayment period).

     (e)  Borrower  acknowledges  that it possesses no right to prepay the Loan,
except as expressly  provided in this  Section 2.4 or as  otherwise  provided in
Sections 3.2(i), 3.3, 7.5, 7.15 or 9.3. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees
that, except as so expressly  provided,  if the Loan is prepaid prior to July 1,
2018, for any reason (including  acceleration of the Scheduled  Maturity Date by
reason of an Event of  Default),  any  subsequent  tender of payment of the Loan
made by Borrower or by any Person on behalf of Borrower or otherwise,  including
any tender of payment at any time prior to or at foreclosure sale or proceedings
or during any redemption period following foreclosure,  or during any federal or
state bankruptcy or insolvency  proceedings,  shall constitute an evasion of the
restrictions  on prepayment  set forth  herein,  and shall be deemed a voluntary
prepayment  prior  to the  Scheduled  Maturity  Date  requiring  payment  of the
Applicable  Prepayment  Fee,  and Lender  shall not be  required  to accept such
prepayment if it does not include payment of the Applicable Prepayment Fee.

     (f) If any  actual or deemed  prepayment  is  tendered  or deemed  tendered
during the Lockout Period (other than a prepayment  tendered or deemed  tendered
pursuant to Sections 3.2(i), 3.3, 7.5, 7.15 or 9.3), Borrower shall be obligated
to pay Lender, and the Obligations shall include, a prepayment fee (the "Lockout
Prepayment  Fee")  calculated by Lender in its discretion  (which may or may not
equal the Standard Yield  Maintenance  otherwise due in connection with any such
prepayment but for the operation of the Lockout Period), and Lender shall not be
required  to accept  such  payment or credit  any deemed  payment if it does not
include  payment of the Lockout  Prepayment  Fee as  calculated  by Lender.  Any
prepayment  tendered  during the  Lockout  Period in  connection  with a Partial
Release  pursuant to Section 7.15 must include a prepayment fee equal to Lockout
Yield Maintenance.

     (g) Lender's  acceptance of a prepayment without the Applicable  Prepayment
Fee shall not  constitute  or be deemed to  constitute a waiver by Lender of its
right to require payment of the Applicable Prepayment Fee in accordance with the
terms  hereof or a waiver of any rights and  remedies  Lender may have under the
Loan Documents,  at law or in equity on account of Borrower's  failure to timely
pay the Applicable Prepayment Fee as and when required hereunder.

     (h) To the extent permitted by law, Lender may bid at any foreclosure sale,
as  part  of the  Obligations,  the  amount  of the  Applicable  Prepayment  Fee
calculated as if  prepayment of the Loan occurs on the date of such  foreclosure
sale.  To the extent the amount of the  Obligations  must be  determined as of a
date certain pursuant to a judicial foreclosure, the Loan will be deemed prepaid
as of the date judgment enters and the Applicable Prepayment Fee due and payable
hereunder  (if any)  will be  calculated  as if  prepayment  of the  Obligations
occurred on the date of said judgment.

     (i) Borrower  and Lender have  negotiated  the Loan upon the  understanding
that if the Loan is paid or prepaid prior to July 1, 2018 for any reason, except
as expressly  provided in this Section 2.4 or as otherwise  provided in Sections
3.2(i),  3.3, 7.5, 7.15 or 9.3,  Lender shall receive the Applicable  Prepayment
Fee as compensation for: (i) the cost of reinvesting the prepayment proceeds and
the loss of the contracted rate of return on the Loan; and (ii) the privilege of
early payment of the Loan, which Borrower has expressly  bargained for and which
privilege  Lender  would  not  have  granted  to  Borrower  without   Borrower's
obligation  to pay the  Applicable  Prepayment  Fee.  Borrower  agrees  that the
Applicable  Prepayment  Fee  provided for herein is  reasonable  and that Lender
shall  not  be  obligated,  as a  condition  subsequent  to its  receipt  of the
Applicable  Prepayment  Fee, to actually  reinvest all or any part of the amount
prepaid in any United States Treasury instruments or obligations or otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE 3.

                      INSURANCE, CONDEMNATION, AND IMPOUNDS

     SECTION 3.1. INSURANCE.

     (a) INSURANCE COVERAGE.  Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be
maintained,  insurance for each Individual  Borrower,  Lender, each Property and
the other Collateral (collectively,  the "Insurance") providing at a minimum the
following:

          (i) Insurance with respect to the Improvements  and Personal  Property
     relating to each Property  against any peril currently  included within the
     classification  "All  Risk" or  "Special  Perils,"  in each  case (1) in an
     amount equal to 100% of the "Full Replacement  Cost," which for purposes of
     this Agreement shall mean actual  replacement  value (exclusive of costs of
     excavations,  foundations,  underground utilities and footings) with losses
     adjusted on a  replacement  cost basis;  (2)  containing  an agreed  amount
     endorsement  (unless  waived by Lender in its reasonable  discretion)  with
     respect to the Improvements and Personal Property relating to such Property
     waiving all  co-insurance  provisions;  (3)  providing for no deductible in
     excess of $25,000 and no  self-retention  (unless disclosed to and approved
     by  Lender);  (4) with an  "Ordinance  or Law  Coverage"  or  "Enforcement"
     endorsement  (including demolition costs); and (5) with coverage for "mold"
     and related  damage with  reasonable  and  customary  limits (a sublimit of
     $1,000,000  for  "mold"  coverage  being  deemed  "reasonable").  The  Full
     Replacement  Cost of each Property  shall be evaluated from time to time at
     the request of Lender (but not more frequently than once in any twelve (12)
     calendar months,  unless an Event of Default exists, in which case the Full
     Replacement  Cost  may be  evaluated  from  time to time as  Lender  in its
     discretion may deem necessary) by an appraiser or contractor designated and
     paid  by  Borrower  and  approved  by  Lender,  such  approval  not  to  be
     unreasonably withheld (unless an Event of Default exists, in which case the
     appraiser  or  contractor  shall  be  designated  by  Lender  and  paid  by
     Borrower).  No  omission  on  the  part  of  Lender  to  request  any  such
     ascertainment  of the Full  Replacement Cost for any Property shall relieve
     Borrower of any of its obligations under this Subsection 3.1(a)(i);

          (ii) Commercial  general  liability  insurance  against all claims for
     personal  injury  or  property  damage  occurring  upon,  in or about  each
     Property,  including  "Dram  Shop" or other  liquor  liability  coverage if
     alcoholic  beverages  are sold from or may be consumed at any  Property and
     garage keepers' liability  coverage (if applicable),  such insurance (1) to
     be on the so-called "occurrence" form with a general aggregate limit of not
     less  than  $2,000,000.00  and a per  occurrence  limit  of not  less  than
     $1,000,000.00;  (2) to be  continued at not less than the  aforesaid  limit
     until  required to be  increased  by Lender in writing by reason of changed
     economic  conditions  making such protection  inadequate (in the reasonable
     estimation of Lender); and (3) to cover at least the following hazards: (A)
     premises  and  operations  (including  Fire Damage  Legal  Liability);  (B)
     products and  completed  operations on an "if any" basis;  (C)  independent
     contractors;  (D) blanket  contractual  liability for  advertising  and all
     written  and  oral  contracts  to the  extent  of tort  liability;  and (E)
     contractual  liability  covering  the  indemnities  contained  in the  Loan
     Documents to the extent the same is available;

          (iii)  Business  interruption/loss  of rents  insurance  (1) with loss
     payable to Lender; (2) covering "All Risks" or "Special Perils" as required
     to be covered by the  insurance  provided for in  Subsection  3.1(a)(i) and
     (ii);  (3) in an amount  equal to 100% of the  projected  gross income from
     each Property (on an actual loss sustained  basis) for a period of not less
     than  twelve  (12)  months  following  the date of loss (the amount of such
     coverage  shall be  determined  prior to the Funding Date and at least once
     each year  thereafter  based on the greater of: (x) reasonable  estimate by
     Borrower  Parties of the gross income from each Property for the succeeding
     twelve (12) month period,  and (y) the highest gross income received during
     the term of the Note for any consecutive  twelve (12) month period prior to
     the date the  amount of such  insurance  is being  determined);  (4) with a
     deductible  of not greater than an amount  equal to 48 hours loss;  and (5)
     containing an extended period of indemnity  endorsement which provides that
     after the physical loss to the affected Improvements has been repaired, the
     continued  loss of income will be insured  until the earlier of such income
     returning  to the same level it was at prior to the loss or the  expiration
     of one

                                       15


     hundred eighty (180) days from the date that normal  operations are resumed
     at the affected Property  (notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior
     to the end of such  period).  All  insurance  proceeds  payable  to  Lender
     pursuant to this Subsection  3.1(a)(iii)  shall be held by Lender and shall
     be applied to the  Obligations  from time to time due and payable under the
     Note and this  Agreement;  provided,  however,  that so long as no Event of
     Default  exists,   Lender  shall  disburse  to  the  applicable  Individual
     Borrower,  on a monthly basis  (consistent  with an annual operating budget
     delivered to Lender) funds representing  business interruption proceeds (to
     the extent actually  received by Lender) for payment of Operating  Expenses
     and  Debt  Service  upon  receipt  by  Lender  of  a  written  request  for
     disbursement  from the  applicable  Individual  Borrower,  summarizing  the
     Operating  Expenses  and/or  Debt  Service  to be  paid  with  the  subject
     disbursement;  provided,  further,  that nothing herein  contained shall be
     deemed to relieve  Borrower of its obligation to pay the Obligations on the
     respective  dates of payment  provided  for in the Note and this  Agreement
     except to the extent such  amounts  are  actually  paid to and  retained by
     Lender out of the proceeds of such business interruption insurance;


          (iv) At all times during  which  structural  construction,  repairs or
     alterations  are  being  made  with  respect  to any  Property,  applicable
     contractors  shall  provide:   (1)  owner's  and  contractor's   protective
     liability  insurance  covering  claims not covered by or under the terms or
     provisions of the commercial general liability  insurance policy referenced
     in Subsection 3.1(a)(ii); and (2) the insurance provided for in Subsections
     3.1(a)(i) and (iii), written in a so-called "builder's risk completed value
     form" (A) on a  non-reporting  basis,  (B) against  "All Risks" or "Special
     Perils"  as  required  pursuant  to  Subsection  3.1(a)(i),  (C)  including
     permission  to  occupy  such  Property,  and  (D)  with  an  agreed  amount
     endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

          (v) To the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements,  workers'
     compensation,  subject to the statutory limits of the State, and employer's
     liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000.00 per accident and
     per disease per  employee,  and  $1,000,000.00  for  disease  aggregate  in
     respect  of any  work  or  operations  on or  about  each  Property,  or in
     connection with each Property or its operation (if applicable);

          (vi)  Comprehensive  boiler and  machinery  insurance in customary and
     reasonable amounts (to the extent Lender, in the exercise of its reasonable
     judgment,  deems such coverage reasonably  necessary based on the equipment
     at a particular Property);

          (vii) If any portion of any Property is at any time located in an area
     identified  by the  Secretary  of  Housing  and  Urban  Development  or any
     successor  thereto as an area having special flood hazards  pursuant to the
     National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster  Protection Act of
     1973 or the National  Flood  Insurance  Reform Act of 1994,  as each may be
     amended,  or any successor or comparable law (the "Flood Insurance  Acts"),
     flood hazard  insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) 100% of the
     "Full  Replacement  Cost,"  determined in accordance with the provisions of
     Subsection  3.1(a)(i),  and (2) the maximum limit of coverage available for
     such Property under the Flood Insurance Acts;

          (viii) Umbrella liability insurance in an aggregate amount of not less
     than  $25,000,000.00  per occurrence,  and with deductibles  (including any
     self  insurance or retention) and on terms  consistent  with the commercial
     general  liability  insurance policy required under Subsection  3.1(a)(ii);
     and

          (ix)  Such  other  insurance   (other  than  terrorism  or  earthquake
     insurance)  and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may  reasonably
     require against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly
     insured  against  for  properties  similar to each  Property  located in or
     around the region in which the Portfolio is located.

     (b)  POLICIES.  All insurance  provided for in  Subsection  3.1(a) shall be
obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively,  the "Policies" and
individually,  a  "Policy"),  in such  forms  and,  from time to time  after the
Funding Date, in such amounts as may be  satisfactory to Lender (in the exercise
of its  reasonable  judgment),  issued  by  financially  sound  and  responsible
insurance companies  authorized and admitted to do business in the State, having
a general policy rating of "A" or better and a financial class of "X" or better,
each as determined by AM Best Company,  Inc., and otherwise acceptable to Lender
in the exercise of its  reasonable  judgment  (each such insurer  satisfying the
foregoing is referred to below as a "Qualified Insurer"). Not less than ten (10)
days

                                       16


     prior to the  expiration  dates of the  Policies in force as of the Funding
     Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender certificates (in ACORD format 25 and
     ACORD format 28 (2003/10 form)) evidencing  renewal Policies complying with
     the  requirements  of this Section 3.1, such  certificates  to be in format
     reasonably  required by Lender and to be marked "premium paid" (or Borrower
     shall  provide other  evidence  satisfactory  to Lender (in its  reasonable
     judgment) of the payment in full of all  premiums  due under such  Policies
     (the  "Insurance  Premiums")).

     (c) BLANKET  POLICIES.  Borrower shall not obtain (i) any blanket liability
or casualty  Policy unless,  in each case, such Policy is approved in advance by
Lender (Lender acknowledges its approval of the blanket policies in effect as of
the Funding Date, and Lender's approval of Borrower's blanket Policies following
the Funding Date will not be required so long as any replacement  blanket Policy
is substantially similar to the blanket Policy approved by Lender on the Funding
Date, confirmed by the ACORD certificates  described in Section 3.1(b)), or (ii)
without   Lender's  prior  written  consent  (issued  or  withheld  in  Lender's
reasonable  judgment),  separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in
the event of loss with that required in Subsection  3.1(a).  If a Borrower Party
obtains separate insurance or a blanket Policy,  Borrower shall notify Lender of
the  same and  shall  cause  certificates  with  respect  to each  Policy  to be
delivered to Lender as required in Subsection 3.1(b).

     (d) LENDER AS INSURED. All Policies,  except for the Policies referenced in
Subsection 3.1(a)(v), shall name the applicable Individual Borrower as the named
insured and Lender as an additional  insured and loss payee, as their respective
interests may appear, and in the case of property damage,  boiler and machinery,
builder's  risk,  and  flood  insurance,  shall  contain a  so-called  "New York
standard  non-contributing  mortgagee"  clause in favor of Lender providing that
any loss thereunder covered by such Policy shall be payable to Lender.

     (e) POLICY ENDORSEMENTS. All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements
to the effect that:

          (i) No act or negligence of any Borrower Party, of anyone acting for a
     Borrower Party, or of any Tenant,  or failure to comply with the provisions
     of any Policy that might otherwise  result in a forfeiture of the insurance
     or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability
     of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

          (ii) No Policy may be materially  changed  (other than to increase the
     coverage  provided  thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days
     prior  written  notice to Lender and any other  party  named  therein as an
     insured or additional insured;

          (iii) The issuers  thereof shall give written  notice to Lender if the
     Policy has not been thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

          (iv)  Lender  shall  not be  liable  for  any  Insurance  Premiums  or
     assessments  thereon,  except that Lender may, but shall have no obligation
     to, pay any  Insurance  Premiums to  continue  any Policy in full force and
     effect in the event  Borrower  fails to do so (any such  amounts so paid by
     Lender shall be paid by Borrower to Lender  within the Demand  Period,  and
     until paid shall  constitute part of the  Obligations,  shall be secured by
     the Loan  Documents  and shall bear  interest at the Default Rate  accruing
     from the expiration of the Demand Period until Lender  receives  payment in
     full of such amount).

     (f) Intentionally Omitted.

     (g) LENDER  SELF-HELP.  If at any time  Lender is not in receipt of written
evidence  that all  Insurance  required  hereunder  is in full force and effect,
Lender  shall  have the  right,  upon three (3)  Business  Days prior  notice to
Borrower,  to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest
in  the  Portfolio,  including  obtaining  such  Insurance  as  Lender,  in  its
discretion, deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection
with such action or in obtaining and maintaining such Insurance shall be paid by
Borrower to Lender before the  expiration of the Demand  Period,  and until paid
shall constitute part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents
and shall bear  interest at the Default Rate from the  expiration  of the Demand
Period until  Lender  receives  payment in full of such  amount.

                                       17


     (h) VESTING IN LENDER.  In the event of a foreclosure  or other transfer of
title to any  Property to Lender or a third party  purchaser at  foreclosure  in
extinguishment  in  whole  or in  part  of the  Obligations,  and to the  extent
permitted under the Policies,  all right, title and interest of Borrower Parties
in and to all proceeds payable pursuant to the Policies as of the effective date
of transfer of title (including  proceeds payable under blanket  policies) shall
thereupon vest exclusively in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure.

     (i)  SUBROGATION.  All Insurance (as applicable)  and all renewals  thereof
shall contain, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, a standard
"Waiver of Subrogation" endorsement.

     SECTION 3.2. USE AND APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS.

     (a) RESTORATION. If any portion of any Property (or any material portion of
the other  Collateral)  shall be damaged or  destroyed,  in whole or in part, by
fire or other casualty (a "Casualty"), Borrower shall give prompt written notice
of such damage to Lender. If Net Proceeds are made available to a Borrower Party
for  Restoration  as provided in Subsections  3.2(c) and 3.2(d),  the applicable
Individual  Borrower  shall,  in accordance  with the terms of this Section 3.2,
promptly  commence  and  diligently  prosecute  to  completion  the  repair  and
restoration  of the affected  Collateral  as nearly as possible to the condition
the affected  Collateral was in immediately  prior to such Casualty (such repair
and restoration,  collectively, a "Restoration") and shall pay all costs of such
Restoration (even if Net Proceeds are not sufficient to pay in the full the cost
of  Restoration).  Regardless of whether Net Proceeds are made  available to any
Individual  Borrower,  Borrower  shall,  promptly  following the occurrence of a
Casualty and diligently thereafter,  undertake all actions necessary to keep the
affected Property safe, secure and free from reasonably  foreseeable hazards and
otherwise  in  material   compliance   with   applicable   Legal   Requirements.
Notwithstanding any Casualty,  Borrower shall continue to pay the Obligations at
the time and in the manner provided for its payment in this Agreement.

     (b) ADJUSTMENTS BY LENDER. Upon any Casualty covered by any Insurance, then
(i) if an Event of Default exists,  Lender is hereby  authorized,  at its option
(exercisable  in its  discretion),  to settle and adjust any claim  without  the
consent of  Borrower  Parties;  or (ii) if the  Casualty  in question is a Major
Damage Event,  Lender shall allow the applicable  Individual  Borrower up to one
hundred eighty (180) days following the occurrence of the Casualty to settle and
adjust such claim with the prior written  consent of Lender (such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld);  provided, however, that if the applicable Individual
Borrower  has failed to settle and adjust any claim  associated  with a Casualty
within one hundred  eighty (180) days after the  occurrence of such Major Damage
Event, Lender is hereby authorized, at its option (exercisable in its reasonable
discretion),  to settle and adjust any claim with the prior  written  consent of
the  applicable  Individual  Borrower  (such  consent  not  to  be  unreasonably
withheld);  provided,  further,  that in any case,  Lender shall,  and is hereby
authorized  to,  collect and hold (without  interest) any and all such insurance
proceeds  subject  to the terms of this  Section  3.2.  If a  Casualty  does not
constitute a Major Damage Event, then the applicable  Individual  Borrower shall
diligently  pursue  settlement  of all  insurance  claims,  shall  hold  all Net
Proceeds  associated  with such  non-Major  Damage  Event in trust to be applied
toward the costs associated with the restoration of the affected  Property,  and
shall promptly  commence and diligently pursue to completion all restoration and
repair  work  reasonably  necessary  to  return  the  affected  Property  to the
condition  it was in  immediately  prior  to the  non-Major  Damage  Event.  The
applicable  Individual  Borrower  shall provide Lender with  reasonable  written
updates,  at reasonable  intervals,  in connection with all restoration  efforts
associated  with non-Major  Damage Events.  The reasonable  third party expenses
incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance  proceeds shall
be  reimbursed  by  Borrower to Lender  within the Demand  Period and until paid
shall constitute part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents
and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from expiration of the Demand Period
until  payment  in full is  received  by Lender,  or, to the  extent  sufficient
insurance  proceeds are  available,  said  expenses  shall be deducted from said
proceeds  by  Lender  prior to any other  application  thereof.  Each  Qualified
Insurer is hereby  authorized  and  directed by Borrower to make payment for all
losses  associated with a Major Damage Event to Lender alone,  and not to Lender
and any  Individual  Borrower or any other Person  jointly.  Borrower  agrees to
promptly  execute  and deliver to Lender all  documents  and  promptly  make all
deliveries  reasonably  requested by Lender in order to permit  Lender to adjust
any such claim and to authorize and direct any insurer to pay insurance proceeds
relating to a Major  Damage  Event to Lender alone and not jointly to Lender and
any Individual Borrower or any other Person. "Net Proceeds" means the net amount
of all  insurance  proceeds  received by Lender under the Policies  described in
Subsections  3.1(a) as a result  of a  Casualty,  after  deduction  of  Lender's
reasonable  third  party costs and  expenses  (including  reasonable  attorneys'
fees), if any, in collecting same.

                                       18


     (c) CONDITIONS TO DISBURSEMENTS FOR RESTORATION.  The following  provisions
shall apply in connection with any Restoration of a Major Damage Event:

          (i) Lender shall make the Net Proceeds  associated with a Major Damage
     Event  available to the  applicable  Individual  Borrower for  Restoration,
     provided that each of the following conditions are satisfied  (satisfaction
     to be determined by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment):

               (A) As of the  date  of each  distribution  of Net  Proceeds,  no
          monetary  Potential  Default  (which  solely for the  purposes of this
          provision  means a failure  to make a payment of a  liquidated  sum of
          money on the due date  thereof  but for  which  the  applicable  grace
          period has yet to  expire)  then  exists and no Event of Default  then
          exists;

               (B) Within  ninety  (90) days  following  the  occurrence  of the
          Casualty,  the applicable  Individual Borrower shall prepare, or shall
          cause  to  be  prepared,   all  required  Restoration   Documents  and
          applications  for  the  issuance  of  all  permits  required  for  the
          Restoration, with copies thereof delivered to Lender;

               (C) Lender and the Casualty  Consultant  shall have  approved the
          Restoration Documents in accordance with Subsection 3.2(e);

               (D) As of the date of each  distribution of Net Proceeds,  Lender
          shall be satisfied,  in the exercise of its reasonable judgment,  that
          based upon a report issued by the Casualty  Consultant  and such other
          factors as Lender reasonably deems relevant,  the costs of Restoration
          and ongoing Operating  Expenses  (including Debt Service) allocated to
          the  affected  Property  will be covered  out of (1)  undisbursed  Net
          Proceeds  (including  the  proceeds  of the  coverage  referred  to in
          Subsection  3.1(a)(iii)),  (2) Rents that are and shall continue to be
          generated by the affected  Property  despite the Casualty,  and/or (3)
          other funds of Borrower  deposited with Lender  pursuant to Subsection
          3.2(g);

               (E) Prior to the initial  disbursement  of Net  Proceeds,  Lender
          shall be satisfied that, within six (6) months following completion of
          the Restoration, the Net Operating Income associated with the affected
          Property  will be  restored to a level  sufficient  to generate a Debt
          Service Coverage Ratio (based on a fully amortizing  20-year schedule)
          for such affected Property of at least 125%;

               (F) Prior to the initial  disbursement  of Net  Proceeds,  Lender
          shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before
          the  earliest  to occur of (1) six (6)  months  prior to the  Maturity
          Date, (2) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of the Casualty,  or
          (3) such time as may be required under all Legal Requirements in order
          to repair and restore the affected  Collateral to the condition it was
          in immediately prior to such Casualty;

               (G) Prior to the initial  disbursement of Net Proceeds,  Borrower
          shall execute and deliver to Lender a completion  guaranty in form and
          substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and its counsel,  pursuant
          to which Borrower shall guaranty to Lender the lien-free completion of
          the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2;

               (H) Prior to the initial  disbursement  of Net  Proceeds,  Lender
          shall be  satisfied  that the  affected  Property  and the use thereof
          after the Restoration will be in compliance (in all material respects)
          with and permitted under all Legal Requirements;

               (I) Prior to the initial  disbursement  of Net  Proceeds,  Lender
          shall be  satisfied  that the  Restoration  shall  be  undertaken  and
          completed such that no Lease (or combination of Leases),  which are in
          place at the  affected  Property  as of the date of the  Casualty  and
          which cover  (singularly or in the aggregate) 25% or more of the gross
          rentable area of the affected Property,  can be terminated as a result
          of the Casualty;

                                       19


               (J) Promptly  following the issuance of all required  permits and
          the decision of Lender to make Net Proceeds  available for Restoration
          in accordance with this Subsection 3.2(c),  the applicable  Individual
          Borrower shall commence the Restoration;

               (K) As of the date of each  distribution of Net Proceeds,  Lender
          shall be satisfied (in the exercise of its  reasonable  judgment) that
          the  applicable   Individual   Borrower  is  diligently  pursuing  the
          Restoration to satisfactory completion; and

               (L) As of the date of each distribution of Net Proceeds, Borrower
          must be in compliance  with the  conditions  specified in  Subsections
          3.2(d), (e) and (g) below.

          (d) DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES.  The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender
     (in a non-interest  bearing account) and, unless and until disbursed to the
     applicable  Individual  Borrower in accordance  with the provisions of this
     Section 3.2,  shall  constitute  additional  security for the  Obligations.
     Subject to  satisfaction  of the  conditions  of this  Section 3.2, the Net
     Proceeds  designated for Restoration costs shall be disbursed by Lender to,
     or as directed by, the  applicable  Individual  Borrower  from time to time
     prior to or during  the course of the  Restoration,  but not more than once
     per 30-day  period,  upon  receipt of (i) a  disbursement  request from the
     applicable  Borrower  Party  in form and  content  reasonably  required  by
     Lender, (ii) an inspection report from the Casualty  Consultant  acceptable
     to Lender (in the  exercise of its  reasonable  judgment),  (iii)  evidence
     reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all materials installed and work and
     labor performed in connection with the related  Restoration  item have been
     paid for in full  (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of
     the requested disbursement),  including a certification from the applicable
     Individual  Borrower that there exist no notices of pendency,  stop orders,
     mechanic's  or material  supplier's  liens or notices of  intention to file
     same, or any other liens or  encumbrances  of any nature  whatsoever on the
     affected Property which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable
     satisfaction  of Lender and  discharged  of record or, in the  alternative,
     fully  insured  to the  reasonable  satisfaction  of  Lender  by the  Title
     Company,  and (iv) title  insurance  "date downs" and  endorsements  to the
     Title Policy  without  exception as to  mechanics'  or material  supplier's
     liens, intervening choate or inchoate liens, judgments,  survey matters, or
     other material matters of record.  Any Net Proceeds  received by Lender and
     held for  application  to  Operating  Expenses  and Debt  Service  shall be
     disbursed  to  the  applicable   Individual  Borrower  in  accordance  with
     Subsection  3.1(a)(iii).  All Net  Proceeds  disbursed  to a  Borrower  for
     Restoration  shall be held in trust by the  recipient and used for the sole
     purpose of completion of the  Restoration in accordance with the provisions
     of this Section 3.2.

          (e)  RESTORATION   DOCUMENTS.   All  plans  and   specifications   and
     construction agreements  (collectively,  "Restoration Documents") necessary
     for the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender
     and by a qualified independent  consulting engineer selected by Lender (the
     "Casualty Consultant"), all such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld.
     In the event Lender does not notify the applicable  Individual  Borrower of
     the approval or  disapproval  by Lender and the Casualty  Consultant of the
     Restoration  Documents  within ten (10)  Business  Days after  receipt of a
     complete set thereof by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, then Lender and
     the Casualty  Consultant  shall be deemed to have approved the  Restoration
     Documents.  Subject to all necessary approvals and consents (the consent of
     Borrower  Parties  being deemed  issued),  Lender shall have the use of the
     Restoration  Documents and all permits,  licenses and approvals required or
     obtained in connection  with the  Restoration.  The identity of the general
     contractor and other  significant  contractors  engaged in the  Restoration
     shall be subject to prior  review and  approval by Lender and the  Casualty
     Consultant  (each  such  approval  not to be  unreasonably  withheld).  All
     reasonable third party costs and expenses  incurred by Lender in connection
     with  making the Net  Proceeds  available  for the  Restoration  or for the
     payment of Operating Expenses,  including reasonable third party attorneys'
     fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant's reasonable fees (which
     in no event shall exceed then prevailing  market rates),  shall be deducted
     from the Net Proceeds or if the Net Proceeds  are not  sufficient,  paid by
     Borrower to Lender within the Demand Period and until paid shall constitute
     part of the  Obligations,  shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall
     bear interest at the Default Rate from the  expiration of the Demand Period
     until payment in full is received by Lender.

          (f) AMOUNT OF DISBURSEMENTS.  In no event shall Lender be obligated to
     make  disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the
     costs actually  incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the
     Restoration (including Lender's reasonable third party costs and expenses),
     as certified by the Casualty Consultant,  minus the Restoration  Retainage.
     "Restoration  Retainage"  means an amount  equal to the  greater of (i) ten
     percent (10%) of the costs  actually  incurred for work in place as part of
     the  Restoration,  as certified by the  Casualty  Consultant,  and (ii) the
     amount  actually  held  back by the  applicable  Individual  Borrower  from
     contractors,   subcontractors   and  material   suppliers  engaged  in  the
     Restoration.  The  Restoration  Retainage  shall not be released  until the
     Casualty  Consultant  certifies  to Lender  that the  Restoration  has been
     substantially  completed in accordance  with the provisions of this Section
     3.2 and that all approvals  necessary for the  re-occupancy  and use of the
     affected  Property  have been obtained  from all  appropriate  Governmental
     Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender
     that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in
     full out of the Restoration Retainage,  provided, however, that Lender will
     release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to
     any  contractor,   subcontractor  or  material   supplier  engaged  in  the
     Restoration  as of the date upon which either (i) the  Casualty  Consultant
     certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or material supplier
     has  satisfactorily  completed  all work and has supplied all  materials in
     accordance  with the provisions of that  contractor's,  subcontractor's  or
     material   supplier's   contract,   or  (ii)  the  applicable   contractor,
     subcontractor  or material  supplier  delivers  to Lender lien  waivers and
     evidence   of  payment  in  full  of  all  sums  due  to  the   contractor,
     subcontractor or material supplier as may be reasonably requested by Lender
     or by the Title  Company.  If required  by Lender,  the release of any such
     portion  of the  Restoration  Retainage  shall be  approved  by the  surety
     company,  if any,  which has  issued a  payment  or  performance  bond with
     respect to the contractor, subcontractor or material supplier.

                                       20


          (g)  RESTORATION  DEFICIENCY.  If at any time the Net  Proceeds or the
     undisbursed  balance thereof,  together with Rents that will continue to be
     generated by the affected Property despite the Casualty,  shall not, in the
     reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty  Consultant,
     be  sufficient  to pay in full the  balance of the costs  estimated  by the
     Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the
     Restoration  and  ongoing  Operating  Expenses   (including  Debt  Service)
     associated  with  the  affected   Property,   Borrower  shall  deposit  the
     deficiency (the "Net Proceeds  Deficiency")  with Lender before any further
     disbursement  of the Net Proceeds shall be made (but in all events Borrower
     shall make such deposit within sixty (60) days following  demand).  The Net
     Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall
     be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration
     and/or for ongoing Operating Expenses  (including Debt Service)  associated
     with  the  affected  Property  on the  same  conditions  applicable  to the
     disbursement of the Net Proceeds,  and until so disbursed shall  constitute
     additional security for the Obligations.

          (h) RELEASE OF REMAINING PROCEEDS.  Provided (i) no monetary Potential
     Default (which solely for the purpose of this provision  means a failure to
     make a payment of a liquidated sum of money on the due date thereof but for
     which the  applicable  grace  period has yet to expire)  then exists and no
     Event of Default then exists,  (ii) Lender shall re-confirm that within six
     (6) months following completion of the Restoration the Net Operating Income
     for the  affected  Property  will be  restored  to a  level  sufficient  to
     generate a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (based on a fully amortizing 20-year
     schedule) for such affected  Property of at least 125%,  (iii) the Casualty
     Consultant  certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been substantially
     completed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2, and (iv) Lender
     receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred
     in connection  with the  Restoration  have been paid in full (except to the
     extent  said  costs  shall be paid out of the final  disbursement),  Lender
     shall promptly remit to the applicable  Individual  Borrower the excess, if
     any, of the Net  Proceeds  and the  remaining  balance,  if any, of the Net
     Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender.


          (i) APPLICATION OF REMAINING PROCEEDS. If Lender makes a determination
     (in the exercise of its reasonable  judgment)  pursuant to this Section 3.2
     that one or more of the  conditions  to  disbursement  of Net  Proceeds set
     forth in Subsection  3.2(c)(i)  has not or will not be satisfied,  then all
     Net  Proceeds  then held by Lender  shall be retained and applied by Lender
     toward the payment of the Obligations,  whether or not then due and payable
     in such  order,  priority  and  proportions  as  Lender  in its  reasonable
     discretion shall deem proper. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and
     is  continuing  as of the  date  Lender  applies  the Net  Proceeds  to the
     Obligations,  no Applicable  Prepayment  Fee shall be payable in connection
     with any such  prepayment.  If an Event of Default  exists  while Lender is
     holding  Net  Proceeds,  Lender  may at its option  apply the Net  Proceeds
     toward the payment of the Obligations,  whether or not then due and payable
     in such order,  priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion  shall
     deem proper  (including  toward  payment of any  Applicable  Prepayment Fee
     applicable  to such  prepayment).  If Lender  applies  Net  Proceeds to the
     Obligations,  the lien of the Loan  Documents  shall be reduced only by the
     amount of Net  Proceeds  actually  applied  by Lender in  reduction  of the
     Obligations,  but if the Net Proceeds do not discharge  the Allocated  Loan
     Amount  relating  only to the  affected  Property in full,  then Lender may
     elect to  accelerate  repayment  of, or Borrower  may elect to prepay,  the
     entire remaining  outstanding balance of the Allocated Loan Amount relating
     only to the affected  Property,  such  prepayment to be made in either case
     within one hundred twenty

                                       21


     (120) days following  notice from the electing party to the other party (or
     such longer  period as may be  reasonably  necessary for Borrower to secure
     replacement  financing as long as Borrower Parties are diligently  pursuing
     said refinancing in good faith),  without any Applicable Prepayment Fee due
     thereon so long as no Event of Default  exists as of either the date Lender
     so accelerates or Borrower elects  prepayment of said Allocated Loan Amount
     and the date said Allocated Loan Amount is fully and finally repaid.

     SECTION 3.3. CONDEMNATION AWARDS.  Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of
the receipt by a Borrower  Party of notice of the  institution of any proceeding
for the  condemnation  or other taking of any  Property or any portion  thereof.
Lender may participate in any such  proceeding  relating to a Major Damage Event
and the applicable  Individual  Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments
necessary or required by Lender to permit such  participation.  Without Lender's
prior written  consent (which consent shall not be  unreasonably  withheld),  no
Borrower Party,  in connection  with any Major Damage Event,  shall agree to any
compensation  or award  and/or take any action or fail to take any action  which
would cause the  compensation to be determined.  All awards and compensation for
the taking or  purchase  in lieu of  condemnation  of any  Property  or any part
thereof are hereby  assigned to and shall be paid to Lender for  application  to
the Obligations (except as expressly provided below). Borrower Parties authorize
Lender to collect  and  receive  such  awards and  compensation,  to give proper
receipts and acquittances  therefor, and to apply the same toward the payment of
the  Obligations  in such  order,  priority  and  proportions  as  Lender in its
reasonable discretion shall deem proper (and provided no Event of Default exists
as of the date Lender applies such condemnation proceeds to the Obligations,  no
Applicable  Prepayment  Fee  shall  be  payable  in  connection  with  any  such
prepayment),  notwithstanding  that  the  Obligations  may  not  then be due and
payable;  provided,  however,  that if the  condemnation  in  question  does not
constitute a Major Damage Event and the applicable  Individual Borrower requests
that  such  proceeds  be used  for  non-structural  site  improvements  (such as
landscape,  driveway, walkway and parking area repairs) to the affected Property
which are  required  to be made as a result of such  condemnation,  Lender  will
apply the award to such restoration in accordance with  disbursement  procedures
applicable  to Net Proceeds.  Borrower  Parties,  upon request by Lender,  shall
execute all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to confirm the assignment
of the awards and compensation to Lender,  free and clear of all Liens,  charges
(except  as  expressly  set forth  above)  or  encumbrances.  If Lender  applies
condemnation proceeds to the Allocated Loan Amount relating only to the affected
Property,  the lien of the Loan Documents shall be reduced only by the amount of
such proceeds actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Obligations, but if
such proceeds do not discharge the Obligations in full, then Lender may elect to
accelerate  repayment of, or Borrower may elect to repay,  the entire  remaining
outstanding  balance of the Allocated Loan Amount  relating only to the affected
Property,  such  prepayment to be made in either case within one hundred  twenty
(120) days following  notice from the electing party to the other party (or such
longer  period as may be  reasonably  necessary  for Borrower  Parties to secure
replacement  financing as long as Borrower Parties are diligently  pursuing said
refinancing in good faith), without any Applicable Prepayment Fee due thereon so
long as no Event of Default  exists as of both the date Lender so accelerates or
Borrower  elects  repayment  of said  Allocated  Loan  Amount  and the date said
Allocated Loan Amount is fully and finally repaid.

     SECTION 3.4. IMPOUNDS.

          (a) In connection with a permitted  assumption or transfer of the Loan
     pursuant  to  Subsection  7.1(c),  and in order to assure  compliance  with
     Borrower's  obligations  pursuant to Section  7.2,  but not in lieu of such
     obligations,  Borrower  (or its  permitted  successor)  shall  deposit with
     Lender,  monthly on each Payment Date (commencing on the first Payment Date
     following  Lender's written  request),  one-twelfth  (1/12th) of the annual
     charges for Taxes (collectively,  "Impounds").  Each deposit shall be in an
     amount  reasonably  determined  by  Lender  that will be  sufficient  (when
     combined  with  other  monthly  installments)  to make full  payment of all
     Impounds  thirty  (30) days  prior to the date any  delinquency  or penalty
     becomes due with respect to such  Impounds.  Deposits  shall be made on the
     basis of the  Impounds  which  have been fixed for the then  current  year;
     provided,  however,  that prior to the date that such Impounds have been so
     fixed,  deposits shall be made on the basis of Lender's reasonable estimate
     from  time to time of the  amount of  Impounds  for the then  current  year
     (after giving effect to any  recalculation  or reassessment or, at Lender's
     election,  on the basis of the Impounds  for the prior year).  All funds so
     deposited  shall not be construed  as trust  funds,  may be held by Lender,
     without  interest,  and may be  commingled  with  Lender's  general  funds.
     Borrower Parties  (including any permitted  successor to Borrower  Parties)
     hereby  grants to Lender a security  interest in all  Impounds so deposited
     with  Lender  for  the  purpose  of  securing  the  Obligations.  Upon  the
     occurrence of an Event of Default,  all Impounds  deposited with Lender may
     be  applied  in  payment  of the  Impounds  for which  such funds have been
     deposited,  or to the payment of the Obligations,  as Lender

                                       22


     may  elect,  but no such  application  shall be deemed to have been made by
     operation of law or otherwise  until  actually  made by Lender.  Borrower's
     permitted  successor  shall  furnish  Lender with bills for the Impounds at
     least  thirty  (30) days  prior to the date on which  such  Impounds  first
     become payable. If at any time Lender determines that the amount on deposit
     with  Lender,  together  with the monthly  installments  to be deposited by
     Borrower's  permitted  successor  before  the  Impounds  are  payable,  are
     insufficient  to pay the Impounds,  Borrower's  permitted  successor  shall
     deposit any deficiency  with Lender within the Demand  Period.  Provided no
     Event of Default  has  occurred,  Lender  shall pay the  Impounds  when the
     amount on deposit with Lender is sufficient to pay such Impounds and Lender
     has received a bill for such Impounds.

          (b)  Borrower  Parties  acknowledges  that  Lender  may,  at any  time
     Impounds are not being  collected by Lender  pursuant to Section 3.4(a) and
     at the sole cost and  expense of  Borrower,  engage the  services  of a tax
     service  company  to verify  the  status of taxes  and  assessments  on the
     Portfolio.  Lender shall be entitled to rely upon (regardless of whether or
     not Lender engages a tax service company) any  certificate,  advice or bill
     from any  authority  (or any official  thereof) to which such  payments are
     payable,  and Lender  shall have no duty to inquire as to the  validity  or
     accuracy of any such certificate,  advice or bill or to make any protest in
     connection therewith.

          (c) Nothing  contained  in this  Section 3.4 shall be deemed to affect
     any right, power, privilege or remedy of Lender under any provision of this
     Agreement,  the Mortgage, any other Loan Document or any statute or rule of
     law, to pay any amount  required to be paid pursuant to Section 7.2, to add
     the amount so paid to the Obligations and to require  Borrower to reimburse
     Lender for such amount,  together with interest thereon at the Default Rate
     from the  expiration of the Demand Period until payment in full is received
     by Lender.  In the event of any  transfer of  Borrower's  right,  title and
     interest in or to all or any part of the  Portfolio  (without  implying any
     consent of Lender to any such  transfer  except as  expressly  set forth in
     this  Agreement),  Lender shall be entitled to treat such  transfer as also
     effecting an assignment to the transferee of all right,  title and interest
     of  Borrower  Parties in and to any and all such  deposits  relating to the
     transferred portion of the Portfolio. After any assignment by Lender of its
     interest  in the  Loan,  any  such  deposits  on hand  shall,  in  Lender's
     discretion, be turned over to the assignee or returned to Borrower Parties,
     and all  further  responsibility  of Lender with  respect to such  deposits
     shall terminate.

                                   ARTICLE 4.

                                 LEASING MATTERS

     SECTION  4.1.  REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES.  Borrower  represents  and
warrants to Lender  that:  (a) the rent roll  delivered  to Lender and  attached

(b) all of the Leases  (including  amendments) are in writing,  and there are no
oral agreements with respect thereto;  (c) the copies of the Leases delivered to
Lender are true, complete and correct and include any and all amendments; (d) to
Borrower's  knowledge,  no  Borrower  Party as  "landlord"  nor any Tenant is in

Tenant with respect to any Lease,  and Borrower has provided to Lender copies of
all "tenant" default notices issued by or on behalf of an Individual Borrower in
respect of uncured tenant defaults; (f) Borrower has not assigned or pledged any
of the Leases,  the Rents or any interests therein except to Lender;  (g) except
as set  forth in the Rent  Roll,  no  Tenant  or other  party  has an  option to
purchase all or any portion of any Property; (h) except as set forth on the Rent
Roll,  no Tenant has the right to terminate its Lease prior to expiration of the
stated term of such Lease;  (i) no Tenant has prepaid more than one month's Rent
in advance  (except for bona fide security  deposits as shown on the Rent Roll);
and (j) other than amounts  applied or returned in  accordance  with the Leases,
the  amount of all  security  deposits  held by or on  behalf  of an  Individual
Borrower is the entire amount  required to be deposited  with or on behalf of an
Individual  Borrower pursuant to the Leases,  and said deposits are held, to the
extent   required  by  applicable   Legal   Requirements,   in  separate  and/or
interest-bearing accounts. Within ten (10) days after Lender's request, Borrower
shall furnish to Lender a statement of all tenant  security  deposits held by or
on behalf of an Individual Borrower,  certified by an Authorized  Representative
of Borrower as being true, complete and correct.

     SECTION 4.2. LENDER'S LEASE APPROVAL RIGHTS.

                                       23


          (a) Any Leases entered into by or on behalf of any Individual Borrower
     following the Funding Date that does not  constitute a Major Lease shall be
     on a standard form approved by Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably
     withheld) with no material  modifications  (except as approved by Lender in
     writing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), prior to execution
     by or on behalf of any Individual Borrower.

          (b) From and after the Funding Date, no Borrower  Party nor any Person
     acting on behalf of a  Borrower  Party  shall,  without  the prior  written
     consent of Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld): (i) enter
     into  any  Major  Lease,  (ii)  enter  into  any  amendment,  modification,
     replacement,  extension  of, or  renewal  of any Major  Lease  (whether  in
     existence as of the Funding  Date or entered into after the Funding  Date),
     other than extensions and/or renewals  expressly  contemplated by the terms
     of any approved Major Lease, (iii) enter into any amendment,  modification,
     replacement,  extension, or renewal of any non-Major Lease in a manner that
     would cause such non-Major  Lease to become a Major Lease,  (iv) consent to
     an  assignment  or  subletting  associated  with any  Major  Lease,  or (v)
     terminate or accept or acquiesce to the surrender of any Lease  (regardless
     of whether said termination relates to a Major Lease or a non-Major Lease),
     other than a  termination  that is  expressly  provided  for in such Lease;
     provided  that  Lender's  approval  for the  termination  or surrender of a
     non-Major Lease shall not be required if following any such  termination or
     surrender,  the  aggregate  Portfolio  occupancy  continues  to be at least
     eighty percent (80%) ("occupancy"  means Tenants in occupancy,  paying rent
     at the rates  stipulated in their  respective  Leases and without any other
     economic  or  material  non-economic  default  under such  Leases).  If any
     Individual  Borrower  intends to accept the  termination  or surrender of a
     non-Major  Lease  based  on  the  immediately  preceding  exception,   then
     concurrently with the  effectiveness of said termination or surrender,  the
     applicable Individual Borrower must provide Lender with a current rent roll
     and affidavit, in form reasonably required by Lender, confirming compliance
     with the  conditions  of said  exception.  Lender may condition its consent
     (when required) to any Lease  termination on the deposit of any termination
     or surrender  proceeds with Lender for  distribution  for costs  associated
     with  re-letting  the subject  space.  In  connection  with any request for
     approval relating to a leasing matter, provided no Event of Default exists,
     Lender shall notify Borrower  whether Lender has approved any such Lease or
     amendment,  modification,   replacement,  extension,  renewal,  assignment,
     subletting,   termination  or  surrender  within  ten  (10)  Business  Days
     following  Lender's  receipt of all  information  reasonably  requested  by
     Lender to review any such leasing approval  request.  If Lender does not so
     notify Borrower within ten (10) Business Days following Lender's receipt of
     all such information and if no Event of Default exists,  Lender's  approval
     of such leasing matter shall be deemed granted.

     SECTION 4.3.  COVENANTS.  Borrower shall (i) perform,  observe,  and comply
with each of the  covenants  and  agreements  which any  Individual  Borrower is
required  to  perform,  observe or comply  with under the  Leases;  (ii) use its
commercially  reasonable  efforts to enforce the  obligations to be performed by
the Tenants  under the Leases;  (iii)  promptly  furnish to Lender any notice of
default or  termination  received by a or on behalf of any  Individual  Borrower
from any Tenant,  and any notice of default or termination given by or on behalf
of any  Individual  Borrower to any Tenant;  (iv) not collect any Rents for more
than  thirty  (30) days in advance of the time when the same shall  become  due,
except  for bona fide  security  deposits  (it being  agreed  by  Borrower  that
Borrower  shall give prompt  written  notice to Lender if Borrower  collects any
security  deposit  under any Lease  equal to or in excess of an amount  equal to
three (3) month's Rent under such Lease;  (v) not enter into any ground lease or
master lease of any part of the  Portfolio;  (vi) not further assign or encumber
any Lease;  (vii) hold in trust all  payments and other  monetary  consideration
received  by or for the  benefit  of a  Borrower  Party in  connection  with any
surrender or termination of any Lease and shall immediately  deposit or cause to
be deposited with Lender all such payments and other monetary consideration; and
(viii) not,  except as  permitted  in Section  4.2,  enter into any new Lease or
enter into or accept any extension, modification,  termination or renewal of any
existing  Lease,  and any action in violation  of clause (v),  (vi),  (vii),  or
(viii) of this  Section 4.3 shall be void (as to all  Borrower  Parties ) at the
election of Lender.

     SECTION 4.4.  TENANT  ESTOPPELS.  Following  the Funding  Date,  and within
thirty (30) days following Lender's  reasonable  request,  Borrower shall obtain
and furnish to Lender written  estoppels in form and substance  satisfactory  to
Lender,  executed by the Tenants under all Leases and confirming the term,  rent
or daily rate, and other provisions and matters relating to the applicable Lease
(provided that unless an Event of Default has occurred,  Lender shall not make a
request  under  this  Section  4.4 with  respect to any Lease not more than once
during the term of the Loan).

                                       24


     SECTION  4.5.   CONFLICT  WITH   ASSIGNMENT   OF  LEASES  AND  RENTS.   Any
inconsistency  between  the  terms  of  this  Article  4 and  the  terms  of the
Assignment  of  Leases  and  Rents  shall  be  controlled  by the  terms  of the
Assignment of Leases and Rents.

                                   ARTICLE 5.

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     As of the Funding Date, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that:

     SECTION 5.1. ORGANIZATION AND POWER. Each Borrower Party is duly organized,
validly  existing  and in good  standing  under  the  laws of the  state  of its
formation  or  existence,  and is in  compliance  with  all  Legal  Requirements
applicable  to doing  business  in the State.  No  Borrower  Party is a "foreign
person" within the meaning of ss. 1445(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

     SECTION  5.2.  VALIDITY OF LOAN  DOCUMENTS.  The  execution,  delivery  and
performance by each Borrower Party (as applicable) of the Loan Documents (i) are
duly authorized and do not require the consent or approval of any other party or
Governmental  Authority  which has not been  obtained  (and copies of which have
been  provided to Lender);  and (ii) will not violate any Legal  Requirement  or
result in the  imposition of any Lien upon the assets of any such party,  except
as contemplated by the Loan Documents.  The Loan Documents constitute the legal,
valid  and  binding   obligations  of  each  Borrower  Party  (as   applicable),
enforceable in accordance  with their  respective  terms,  subject to applicable
bankruptcy,  insolvency,  or similar laws generally affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights.

     SECTION 5.3. LIABILITIES; LITIGATION.

     (a) The  general  financial  and  operating  information  relating  to each
Borrower Party and/or the Portfolio,  submitted to Lender by or on behalf of any
Borrower Party  concurrently  with or prior to the date of the  Application,  is
true,  complete and correct in all material respects with no significant  change
since the date of submission.

     (b) No Borrower Party is  contemplating  either the filing of a petition by
it under state or federal  bankruptcy or insolvency  laws or the  liquidation of
all or a major  portion of its assets or  property,  and no  Borrower  Party has
knowledge of any Person  contemplating  the filing of any such petition  against
any Borrower Party or any Property.

     SECTION 5.4. TAXES AND  ASSESSMENTS.  Except for any Property that includes
Excess  Collateral as of the Funding Date, each Property  constitutes a separate
tax parcel, and no parcel forming part of the Portfolio is included within a tax
parcel,  for ad valorem or local real estate tax  purposes,  that also  includes
real property not  encumbered  by the Mortgage.  There are no pending or, to the
knowledge of Borrower  Parties,  any proposed  special or other  assessments for
public  improvements  or otherwise  affecting  any  Property,  nor are there any
contemplated  improvements  to any  Property  that may result in such special or
other assessments.

     SECTION 5.5. OTHER  AGREEMENTS;  DEFAULTS.  No Borrower Party is a party to
any agreement or instrument or subject to any court order,  injunction,  permit,
or  restriction  which might  adversely  affect any  Property  or the  business,
operations,  or condition  (financial or otherwise)  of any Borrower  Party.  No
Borrower Party is in violation of any agreement  which  violation  would have an
adverse  effect  on  any  Property  or  any  Borrower  Party  or  the  business,
properties,  or assets,  operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any
Borrower Party.

     SECTION 5.6. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.

     (a) Each Borrower Party has all requisite  licenses,  permits,  franchises,
qualifications,  certificates of occupancy or other governmental  authorizations
to own, lease and operate each Property and carry on its business. The use being
made of each Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy  and/or
applicable permits or governmental  authorizations  and any other  restrictions,
covenants or conditions affecting such Property.

                                       25


     (b) Each Property is in compliance with all applicable  Legal  Requirements
(including building,  parking,  subdivision,  land use, health, fire, safety and
zoning ordinances and codes).

     (c) No Property constitutes,  in whole or in part, a legally non-conforming
use under any Legal Requirements.

     (d) No  condemnation  has been  commenced or, to Borrower's  knowledge,  is
contemplated  with  respect  to all or any  portion of any  Property  or for the
relocation of roadways providing access to any Property.

     (e) Each  Property  has adequate  rights of access to public ways,  and all
roads  necessary  for the full  utilization  of each  Property  for its  current
purpose  have been  completed  and  dedicated  to  public  use and  accepted  by
applicable Governmental Authorities.

     (f) Except to the extent that any Property is adequately  served by private
systems and  facilities  located on such Property  (and  disclosed on the survey
delivered to Lender on the Funding  Date),  each  Property is served by adequate
water,  sewer,  sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities,  all public utilities
necessary  or  convenient  to the full use and  enjoyment  of such  Property are
located  in the  public  right-of-way  abutting  such  Property,  and  all  such
utilities are connected so as to serve such Property  without passing over other
property,  except to the extent  such other  property  is subject to a perpetual
easement for such utility benefiting such Property.

     (g) Borrower  and, to the  knowledge  of  Borrower,  each other party bound
under any declaration,  reciprocal  easement  agreement,  or other instrument of
covenants,  conditions  and  restrictions  affecting any of the  Properties  are
current in the payment of all sums that may be due  thereunder and are otherwise
in compliance in all material respects with the other provisions thereof.

     SECTION 5.7.  LOCATION OF  BORROWER.  The  principal  place of business and
chief  executive  offices of each  Borrower  Party are located at the  addresses
stated in Section 9.1.

     SECTION 5.8.  ERISA. No Borrower Party has established any pension plan for
employees that would cause a Borrower Party to be subject to ERISA.

     SECTION 5.9. MARGIN STOCK. No part of proceeds of the Loan will be used for
purchasing or acquiring any "margin  stock" within the meaning of Regulations T,
U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

     SECTION 5.10. TAX FILINGS.  Each Borrower Party has filed (or have obtained
effective  extensions  for  filing)  all  federal,  state and local tax  returns
required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of
all federal,  state and local  taxes,  charges and  assessments  payable by such
Borrower Party, respectively.

     SECTION 5.11.  SOLVENCY.  The fair saleable value of each Borrower Parties'
assets exceeds and will,  immediately  following the funding of the Loan, exceed
such Borrower Party's total liabilities,  including subordinated,  unliquidated,
disputed and  contingent  liabilities.  The fair saleable value of each Borrower
Parties' assets are and will,  immediately following the funding of the Loan, be
greater than such Borrower Party's probable  liabilities,  including the maximum
amount of its contingent  liabilities on its Debts as such Debts become absolute
and matured. Each Borrower Parties' assets do not and, immediately following the
funding of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out
its  business as  conducted or as proposed to be  conducted.  No Borrower  Party
intends  to, and does not  believe  that it will,  incur  Debts and  liabilities
(including  contingent  liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to
pay such Debts as they  mature  (taking  into  account the timing and amounts of
cash to be received by such  Borrower  Party and the amounts to be payable on or
in respect of obligations of such Borrower Party).

     SECTION 5.12. FULL AND ACCURATE DISCLOSURE. No statement of fact made by or
on behalf of any  Borrower  Party in this  Agreement or in any of the other Loan
Documents  contains any untrue  statement of a material  fact.  There is no fact
presently  known to any  Borrower  Party which has not been  disclosed to Lender
that  materially  and  adversely  affects,  or as far as any Borrower  Party can
reasonably predict, might materially and

                                       26


adversely  affect,  any  Property  or  the  business,  operations  or  condition
(financial or otherwise) of any Borrower Party.

     SECTION  5.13.  PROPERTY  CONDITIONS.  Each  Property  is free of  material
structural  defects,  and all  building  systems  contained  therein are in good
working order in all material respects, subject to ordinary wear and tear.

     SECTION 5.14. TERRORISM AND ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING.

     (a) As of the Funding  Date,  no direct or indirect  holder of a beneficial
interest in Borrower is an OFAC Prohibited Person.

     (b) To comply  with the  Anti-Money  Laundering  Laws,  all  payments  by a
Borrower  Party to Lender or from Lender to a Borrower  Party shall only be made
in the name of a Borrower  Party and to and from a bank  account of a bank based
or  incorporated in or formed under the laws of the United States or a bank that
is not a "foreign  shell bank"  within the meaning of the U.S.  Bank Secrecy Act
(31 U.S.C.  ss.  5311 et seq.),  as  amended,  and the  regulations  promulgated
thereunder by the U.S.  Department of the Treasury,  as such  regulations may be
amended from time to time.

     (c) Each Borrower Party agrees to provide to Lender,  or to cause any other
Person having a beneficial interest in a Borrower Party, to provide, at any time
and from time to time during the term of the Loan,  such  information  as Lender
determines  to be  necessary  or  appropriate  to  comply  with  the  Anti-Money
Laundering  Laws of any applicable  jurisdiction,  or to respond to requests for
information concerning the identity of any Borrower Party or any Person having a
direct  or  indirect  beneficial  interest  in  any  Borrower  Party,  from  any
Governmental Authority, self-regulatory organization or financial institution in
connection with its anti-money  laundering compliance  procedures,  or to update
such information.

     (d) The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5.14 shall
be deemed repeated and reaffirmed by each Borrower Party as of each Payment Date
and as of each date on which any Borrower  Party receives any funds from Lender.
Each Borrower Party agrees to promptly notify Lender in writing should it become
aware of any change in the information  set forth in this Section 5.14.  Section
5.15.  Financing  Transaction.  The  Loan is (or  shall  be)  evidenced  by debt
instruments that are intended to be accounted for as "debt" on the balance sheet
of each Borrower  Party,  and each Borrower  Party shall account for the Loan as
"debt" in all  financial  statements  prepared by or on behalf of each  Borrower
party.

     SECTION 5.16. PERSONAL PROPERTY. Except for the Personal Property listed on
Schedule 5.16 attached hereto, no material tangible Personal Property is located
within or outside any Property or used or proposed to be used in any Property. A
Borrower  Party has good title to all  Personal  Property  free and clear of all
Liens, except as disclosed on Schedule 5.16.

     SECTION 5.17. ADDITIONAL REAL PROPERTY.  Except for the Land (as defined in
the Mortgage) and Improvements and any contiguous  public streets and sidewalks,
no Borrower  Party nor any Property  Manager uses or occupies any other material
real property in connection with the operation,  occupancy and management of any
Property.

     SECTION 5.18. MATERIAL AGREEMENTS.

     (a) As of the Funding Date,  each Property owned by an Individual  Borrower
is managed by Carveout  Indemnitor in accordance with the partnership  agreement
for such Individual  Borrower,  and no separate management or leasing agreements
currently  exist.  Management fees payable to Carveout  Indemnitor  shall not be
modified to the extent that such modification would cause the management fees to
exceed  market rates payable to unrelated  and  qualified  third party  property
managers and/or leasing agents.

                                       27


     (b) No Borrower Party other than Carveout Indemnitor has any right or claim
to, or  obligation to pay, any fees,  commissions,  royalties,  compensation  or
other  remuneration  in  connection  with or arising out of the use,  occupancy,
management, and operation of any Property. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.18,
there are no Material Agreements affecting any Property.

                                   ARTICLE 6.

ARTICLE 7.

                                    COVENANTS

     Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:

     SECTION 7.1. DUE ON SALE AND ENCUMBRANCE; TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS.

     (a) Without  the prior  written  consent of Lender and except as  expressly
provided below:

          (i) No Borrower Party nor any Person having an ownership or beneficial
     interest in a Borrower Party shall (A) consummate a Transfer,  or (B) enter
     into any easement or other agreement  granting rights in or restricting the
     use or development of the Collateral; and

          (ii) No new  partners  shall be  admitted  to or created in a Borrower
     Party (nor shall any existing partner withdraw from a Borrower Party); and

          (iii) No change in the day-to-day control and management of a Borrower
     Party, any Property or the Portfolio shall be implemented.

     Lender shall not be required to  demonstrate  any actual  impairment of its
security or any increased risk of default in order to declare the Obligations to
be immediately  due and payable upon a Transfer in violation of this  Agreement.
This  provision  shall apply to every  Transfer in violation  of this  Agreement
regardless  of whether  such  Transfer  was  voluntary or not, or whether or not
Lender has previously consented to any Transfer.

     (b)  Notwithstanding  the  restrictions  in  Subsection  7.1(a),  Permitted
Transfers will be permitted without Lender's prior consent.  Carveout Indemnitor
(or  any  successor  permitted  under  clause  (a)(iii)  of  the  definition  of
"Permitted  Transfer"  in Section 1.1) shall at all times,  whether  prior to or
following the occurrence of any Permitted Transfer,  be the sole general partner
of each Individual Borrower.

     (c)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
Lender  shall  consent  to a one-time  transfer  of title to the  Portfolio  and

     proposed  purchaser and of the  principals,  affiliates and parent or other

     principals, affiliates and parent or other majority owners, as applicable;

                                       29


          (ii) Lender must  approve,  in the  exercise  of its  discretion,  the
     identity,  creditworthiness,  management abilities and all other attributes
     of  the  proposed   purchaser   and  the  proposed   replacement   Carveout
     Indemnitor(s),  and their respective  principals,  affiliates and parent or
     other majority owners, as applicable;

          (iii) No Event of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and be  continuing,
     either as of the date of the Assumption  Request or thereafter  through the
     date of transfer of title to the Portfolio and assumption of the Loan;

          (iv) The  Portfolio,  as of the date of transfer  and  assumption  and
     thereafter,  must be managed by a management company approved by Lender (in
     the  exercise of its  reasonable  judgment)  under a  management  agreement
     satisfactory  to Lender (in the exercise of its  reasonable  judgment)  and

     Parties under the Loan Documents  (subject to the  limitations on liability
     set forth in Article  10)  pursuant  to  assumption  documents  in form and

     indemnity  agreement  from  said  purchaser  and from  another  financially
     responsible  Person  acceptable to Lender (in its  discretion)  in form and
     substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to Lender (which form may be different
     from the form executed by Borrower Parties as a result of Lender's updating
     its standard form of  environmental  indemnity  agreement or as a result of
     specific environmental  conditions at any Property) and a recourse carveout
     indemnity in substantially  the same form as the Carveout  Indemnity,  also
     from  a  financially  responsible  Person  acceptable  to  Lender  (in  its
     discretion).  Borrower  Parties and the proposed  purchaser  and such other
     Persons as Lender shall  require  shall also  deliver  and, if  applicable,
     execute  (A)  evidence  of  authority  and entity  existence,  (B)  Uniform
     Commercial Code, judgment and bankruptcy  searches,  (C) Uniform Commercial
     Code financing statements,  (D) an endorsement to the Title Policy updating
     the effective  date to the date of the  transfer,  showing the purchaser as

     as shall be approved by Lender (in its  discretion)  and  otherwise in form
     and  substance  reasonably  acceptable  to Lender,  (E) opinions of counsel
     reasonably  acceptable to Lender on such matters as Lender shall reasonably

     other documents as Lender shall  reasonably  require in order to effectuate
     the transaction as contemplated by this Subsection (c);

          (vi) At the  closing of any  approved  transfer  and  assumption,  the
     proposed  purchaser  shall,  in accordance with the terms and conditions of
     Sections  3.4,  deposit  with Lender  sufficient  funds to pay when due all
     Impounds  in  accordance  with the terms of Section  3.4. To the extent the
     Loan  Documents  require any other  reserves or deposits  the same shall be
     established by the proposed  purchaser  prior to the date of closing of the
     approved  transfer and assumption.  The foregoing  requirement for deposits
     and reserves  shall be enforced  notwithstanding  that any of the foregoing
     may have been waived by Lender with respect to Borrower  Parties  either in
     this Agreement, or in any side letter or agreement executed by Lender;

          (vii) At the closing of any approved transfer and assumption, Borrower
     shall pay to Lender a fee in the  amount  of one  percent  (1%) of the then
     outstanding  balance  of the  Loan  in  immediately  available  funds  (the
     "Assumption   Fee").   The   obligation  to  pay  the   Assumption  Fee  is
     consideration  to induce  Lender to allow the proposed  purchaser to assume
     the  obligations  of  Borrower  Parties'  under the Loan  Documents  and to
     release Borrower Parties from liability  thereunder for all periods of time
     from and after the date of transfer in accordance with this Subsection (c);
     provided  that in no event shall any  Borrower  Party be released  from any
     liability  accruing  prior to the  date of the  transfer  of the  Portfolio
     pursuant to this Subsection (c),  including acts or omissions  leading to a
     violation of Environmental Laws (as defined in the Environmental  Indemnity
     Agreement),  whether  known or  unknown as of the  closing of the  approved
     transfer;

                                       30


          (viii)  The  proposed  transfer  and  assumption  shall  not  cause  a
     violation  of any Legal  Requirements  governing  any  Property,  the Loan,
     Borrower Parties, the proposed purchaser, any proposed replacement carveout
     indemnitor or any of their respective principals;

          (ix) Lender must confirm, in the exercise of its reasonable  judgment,
     that  as of the  date  of  the  proposed  transfer  of  the  Portfolio  and
     assumption of the Loan, the Portfolio will generate (A) the lesser of (1) a
     Loan to Value Ratio of not more than  sixty-five  percent (65%),  and (2) a
     Loan to Cost Ratio of not more than  sixty-five  percent  (65%);  and (B) a
     Debt Service  Coverage Ratio of at least 125%,  calculated for the 12-month
     period  immediately  following  the proposed  transfer of the Portfolio and
     assumption of the Loan (based on a fully amortizing 20-year  schedule).  As
     used herein,  "Loan to Value Ratio" means the ratio of (A) the  outstanding
     balance  of the Loan,  compared  to (B) the  aggregate  of the then "as is"
     value of the Portfolio,  all as determined by Lender in the exercise of its
     reasonable  judgment.  As used herein, "Loan to Cost Ratio" means the ratio
     of (A) the outstanding  balance of the Loan,  compared to (B) the aggregate
     of the purchase price and other reasonable and customary  closing costs, as
     approved by Lender in its  discretion,  paid by the  proposed  purchaser to
     acquire the Portfolio;

          (x) On the earlier of ten (10) days following  demand by Lender or the
     closing of the approved transfer and assumption, Borrower Parties shall pay
     all of Lender's  reasonable costs and expenses  incurred in connection with
     the proposed transfer of the Portfolio whether or not the transfer actually
     occurs,  including  attorneys'  fees,  recording and filing charges,  title
     company  charges and the cost of the  endorsement to the Title Policy.  The
     Assumption Work Fee shall be applied to reimburse  Lender for its costs and
     expenses  (with any excess after full payment of all of Lender's  costs and
     expenses  being  applied to the  Assumption  Fee or  returned  to  Borrower
     Parties),  but the  Assumption  Work Fee shall not be deemed to be a cap or
     limitation on the obligation of Borrower to reimburse  Lender for all costs
     and expenses  incurred by Lender under this Subsection  (c),  regardless of
     whether such amounts exceed the Assumption  Work Fee and/or Lender,  in the
     exercise of its  judgment,  does not approve the  proposed  purchaser,  any
     proposed  replacement  guarantor  or  any  other  aspect  of  the  proposed
     transfer; and

          (xi) Lender shall have no  obligation to review or process the request
     of Borrower  Parties for approval of a proposed  transfer of the  Portfolio
     and  assumption  of the Loan until such time as Lender has  received all of
     the items,  including the Assumption Work Fee,  required to be delivered to
     Lender pursuant to this Subsection (c).

     (d) Notwithstanding the restrictions in Subsection 7.1(a), Lender shall not
withhold  its  consent  to any  pledge by  Carveout  Indemnitor  of the  general
partnership  interests  in  Borrower  in order to secure  so-called  "mezzanine"
financing subject to satisfaction (to be determined by Lender in the exercise of
its reasonable judgment) of each and every one of the following conditions:

          (i) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,  either
     as of the date of the request for Lender's  consent or  thereafter  through
     the  date  of the  closing  of  such  pledge  and  the  proposed  mezzanine
     financing;

          (ii)  Lender  must  confirm  (in  the   exercise  of  its   reasonable
     discretion)  that  following  the closing of such  pledge and the  proposed
     mezzanine financing, Carveout Indemnitor shall have a Tangible Net Worth of
     not less than $100,000,000;

          (iii) Each  Borrower  Party must  deliver all  information  reasonably
     requested by Lender with respect to such pledge and the proposed  mezzanine
     financing;

          (iv) Prior to Lender's  consent under this Subsection  7.1(d) becoming
     effective,  Borrower must  reimburse  Lender for all  reasonable  costs and
     expenses  incurred by Lender in connection  with the  mezzanine  financing,
     including legal fees and expenses; and

          (v) At all times following the closing of such pledge and the proposed
     mezzanine  financing,  Carveout  Indemnitor  shall  remain the sole general
     partner of each  Individual  Borrower  and shall  continue

                                       31



     to control the exercise of all rights,  powers and  privileges  afforded to
     Carveout Indemnitor in its capacity as general partner under the applicable
     partnership  agreements and other  organizational  documents and applicable
     laws, and no pledgee of Carveout Indemnitor's general partnership interests
     in any  Individual  Borrower  may take  title to such  general  partnership
     interests or exercise any of the rights,  powers and privileges afforded to
     Carveout Indemnitor in its capacity as general partner.

     (e) The prohibitions and restrictions set forth in this Article 7 shall not
preclude: (i) any Borrower Party from granting liens that encumber real property
other  than  the  Collateral,   or  (ii)  Carveout   Indemnitor  from  providing
indemnities  or  guaranties  in favor of creditors  other than Lender;  it being
agreed such actions may be effected without Lender's consent.

SECTION 7.2. TAXES; CHARGES.

     (a)  Subject to the terms of  Section  3.4,  Borrower  shall pay before any
fine, penalty,  interest or cost may be added thereto,  and shall not enter into
any agreement to defer, any Taxes. Borrower shall not suffer or permit the joint
assessment  of any  Property  with  any  other  real or  personal  property  not
encumbered by the Mortgage.

     (b)  Borrower  shall pay when due all  claims  and  demands  of  mechanics,
material suppliers, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in a Lien
on any  Property;  provided,  however,  that  Borrower  Parties  may contest the
validity  of such claims and  demands so long as (i) the  applicable  Individual
Borrower  notifies Lender that it intends to contest such claim or demand,  (ii)
Borrower  Parties  provide  Lender  with an  indemnity,  bond or other  security
satisfactory  to Lender  (including an endorsement to the Title Policy  insuring
against such claim or demand)  assuring the discharge of the  obligations of the
applicable  Individual Borrower for such claims and demands,  including interest
and  penalties,  and (iii) the  applicable  Individual  Borrower  is  diligently
contesting  the same by appropriate  legal  proceedings in good faith and at its
own expense and  concludes  such contest prior to the tenth (10th) day preceding
the earlier to occur of the  Scheduled  Maturity  Date or the date on which such
Property is scheduled to be sold for non-payment.

     SECTION 7.3.  ALTERATIONS AND  RENOVATIONS.  Borrower  Parties shall obtain
Lender's prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to
any alterations or renovations to any of the  Improvements;  provided,  however,
that Lender's  consent shall not be required in connection  with any alterations
or renovations  that (i) are  contemplated in connection  with any  Restoration,
(ii) are  permitted to be made by any Tenant under its Lease without the consent
or approval of any  Borrower  Party,  or (iii) will not have a material  adverse
effect  on the  financial  condition  of any  Borrower  Party,  the value of the
affected Property or the Net Operating Income of the affected Property, provided
further that such alterations  permitted under subsection (iii) do not adversely
affect any  structural  component of any  Improvements  relating to the affected
Property,  any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements  relating to
the affected  Property,  or the exterior of any building  constituting a part of
any Improvements of the affected  Property,  and the aggregate cost thereof does
not exceed the lesser of either:  (A) ten percent  (10%) of the  Allocated  Loan
Amount of the affected Property, or (B) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).  In
connection  with  any  request  for  approval  relating  to any  alterations  or
renovations  to any of the  Improvements,  provided no Event of Default  exists,
Lender shall notify Borrower whether Lender has approved any such request within
ten (10) Business Days following Lender's receipt of all information  reasonably
requested  by Lender to review any such  request.  If Lender  does not so notify
Borrower  within ten (10) Business Days following  Lender's  receipt of all such
information and if no Event of Default exists, Lender's approval of such request
shall be deemed granted.

     SECTION 7.4. OPERATION; MAINTENANCE.

     (a) Borrower shall not cause or permit any waste of any material portion of
any Property.

     (b)  Borrower  shall  observe  and  comply  with  all  Legal   Requirements
applicable  to the  ownership,  use and  operation  of each  Property  and shall
promptly  commence a reasonable and good faith cure of any alleged  violation of
any Legal  Requirements;  provided that the applicable  Individual Borrower may,
upon providing  Lender with security  satisfactory to Lender (in the exercise of
Lender's  reasonable  judgment) and so long as during any contest the Collateral
shall not be subject to any lien, charge,  fine or other liability and shall not
be in danger of

                                       32


being forfeited, lost or closed, proceed diligently and in good faith to contest
the  validity  or  applicability   of  any  such  alleged   violation  of  Legal
Requirement.

     (c) Borrower  shall  maintain each Property in good  condition and promptly
repair any damage or casualty (subject to the terms of this Agreement).

     (d) Upon  reasonable  prior notice (except during the existence of an Event
of Default,  when no prior notice shall be required),  Borrower  Parties and any
Property  Manager (if any) shall provide Lender and its agents,  representatives
and  contractors  with access to each Property from time to time (subject to the
rights of  Tenants)  for the  purposes  of  conducting  appraisals,  engineering
inspections and environmental assessments of such Property (provided that Lender
must have a good faith  belief  that an  Individual  Borrower is not in material
compliance  with its warranties,  covenants and agreements  relating to physical
condition of the subject  Property  and/or  compliance  with Legal  Requirements
(including  Environmental  Laws,  as  defined  in  the  Environmental  Indemnity
Agreement)  prior  to the  commencement  of any  post-Funding  Date  engineering
inspection or  environmental  assessment or  investigation  with respect to that
Property)  and with access to  Borrower's  home office for purposes of examining
and copying the books and records relating to the Portfolio.  The costs relating
to such  activities  shall be paid by Lender  unless (i) Lender has a good faith
basis for suspecting that an Individual  Borrower is not in material  compliance
with its warranties, covenants and agreements relating to the physical condition
of the subject  Property and/or  compliance  with laws (including  environmental
laws),  (ii) the  examination  of such books and records  reveals that financial
information submitted to Lender by Borrower Parties,  Property Manager or anyone
on behalf of Borrower  Parties is  materially  inaccurate,  or (iii) an Event of
Default exists (or is discovered as a result of any such  inspection or review),
in which case the  reasonable  third  party fees and  expenses  relating to such
activities shall be paid by Borrower within the Demand Period.

     (e) All Operating  Revenues  shall be applied to Operating  Expenses,  Debt
Service and reasonable and necessary  capital  expenditures or costs,  and then,
provided no Event of Default exists, to general operating  purposes of Borrower,
including distributions to members and/or partners of Borrower.

     SECTION 7.5.  TAXES ON  SECURITY.  Borrower  shall pay all taxes,  charges,
filing, registration and recording fees, excises and levies payable with respect
to the Note or the Liens  created or secured by the Loan  Documents,  other than
income,  franchise and doing business taxes imposed on Lender. If there shall be
enacted any law (a) deducting the Loan from the value of the  Collateral for the
purpose of taxation,  (b) affecting  any Lien on any  Property,  or (c) changing
existing laws of taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds, or debts
secured by real  property,  or changing the manner of collecting any such taxes,
Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, within thirty (30) days following demand,
all taxes,  costs and charges  for which  Lender is or may be liable as a result
thereof; provided,  however, that if any such payment would be prohibited by law
or would render the Loan  usurious,  then instead of  collecting  such  payment,
Lender may declare all amounts owing under the Loan  Documents to be immediately
due and payable (provided that Borrower shall have no obligation to make payment
of any Applicable  Prepayment Fee otherwise applicable to prepayment tendered as
a result of Lender's exercise of its rights under this Section 7.5).

     SECTION 7.6. COMPLIANCE WITH LOAN DOCUMENTS; FURTHER ASSURANCES.

     (a) Each  Borrower  Party  shall  observe,  perform and satisfy in a timely
manner all the terms, provisions,  covenants, conditions, duties and obligations
required to be observed,  performed or satisfied by them, and shall pay when due
all costs,  fees and expenses required to be paid by them, under and pursuant to
this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

     (b) Each Borrower Party shall promptly (i) cure, or cause to be cured,  any
defects in the  execution and delivery of the Loan  Documents,  and (ii) execute
and deliver,  or cause to be executed and delivered,  all such other  documents,
agreements and instruments as Lender may reasonably  request to further evidence
and more fully  describe  the  collateral  for the  Obligations,  to correct any
omissions or errors in the Loan Documents,  to perfect,  protect or preserve any
Liens created under any of the Loan Documents,  or to make any recordings,  file
any notices,  or obtain any  consents,  as may be necessary  or  appropriate  in
connection therewith.

                                       33


     (c) No Borrower Party shall (i) change the location of its chief  executive
office/chief  place of  business  from that  specified  in Section  9.1, or (ii)
change its name,  or (iii)  change the location  where it maintains  its records
with respect to the Portfolio,  unless in each instance  Borrower  Parties shall
have given  Lender at least  thirty (30) days prior  written  notice of any such
change  and shall have  delivered  to Lender all UCC  financing  statements  and
amendments  thereto as Lender shall request and taken all other  actions  deemed
necessary by Lender to continue its perfected  first priority lien status in the
Collateral. Section

     7.7. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Borrower Parties, within twenty (20) days after
request,  shall furnish to Lender a written  statement,  duly acknowledged by an
Authorized  Representative of Borrower Parties,  setting forth the amount due on
the Loan,  the terms of  repayment of the Loan,  the date to which  interest has
been paid,  whether any offsets or defenses  exist  against the Loan and, if any
are alleged to exist,  the nature thereof in detail,  and such other  reasonable
matters as Lender may request.

     SECTION 7.8. NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. Borrower Parties shall, within three
(3) Business  Days after  gaining  knowledge,  notify Lender of (i) any Event of
Default,  together  with a detailed  statement  of the steps being taken to cure
such Event of Default (Lender having no obligation to accept any such cure of an
Event of Default  unless  acceptance  of a cure and  reinstatement  is mandatory
under  applicable  law);  (ii) any notice of any  material  default  received by
Borrower Parties under other  obligations  relating to any Property or otherwise
material to Borrower's  business;  and (iii) any  threatened  or pending  legal,
judicial or regulatory  proceedings,  including  any dispute  between a Borrower
Party  and  any  Governmental  Authority,  affecting  a  Borrower  Party  or any
Property.

     SECTION  7.9.   INDEMNIFICATION.   Borrower  shall  jointly  and  severally
indemnify,  defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all losses,
liabilities,   claims,  damages,  expenses,  obligations,   penalties,  actions,
judgments,  suits,  costs or  disbursements  of any kind or  nature  whatsoever,
including the  reasonable  fees and actual  expenses of Lender's  attorneys,  in
connection with (i) any inspection,  review or testing of or with respect to any
Property, (ii) any investigative,  administrative,  mediation,  arbitration,  or
judicial  proceeding,  whether  or not  Lender is  designated  a party  thereto,
commenced or threatened at any time (including  after the repayment of the Loan)
in any way  related  to the  execution,  delivery  or  performance  of any  Loan
Document  or to any  Property,  (iii) any  proceeding  instituted  by any Person
claiming a Lien, and (iv) any brokerage  commissions or finder's fees claimed by
any broker or other party in connection  with the Loan, any Property,  or any of
the  transactions  contemplated in the Loan  Documents,  including those arising
from the joint,  concurrent,  or comparative negligence of Lender, except to the
extent any of the  foregoing is caused by Lender's  gross  negligence or willful
misconduct.

     SECTION 7.10. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.

     (a) Each Property has been,  and as of the Funding Date will be, managed by
Carveout  Indemnitor.  If at any time any Individual Borrower wishes to engage a
third-party property manager (including any Affiliate of Borrower) to manage the
applicable Property, Borrower must request and receive Lender's approval of such
proposed  property  manager  and the  proposed  management  agreement  (Lender's
approval  not to be  unreasonably  withheld)  prior to  engaging  such  proposed
property  manager.  Lender may  condition  its  approval of a proposed  property
manager and management agreement on such Individual Borrower's and such proposed
property  manager's  execution  and  delivery  of an  assignment  of  management
agreement and subordination of management fees in form and substance  acceptable
to Lender whereby,  among other things,  the proposed property manager agrees to
subordinate payment of its management fees to the full and timely payment of the
Obligations,  and such Individual  Borrower  assigns to Lender all of Borrower's
rights under the proposed management agreement.

     (b) Borrower  Parties shall (i)  diligently  perform and observe all of the
terms,  covenants  and  conditions  of any  Management  Agreement on the part of
Borrower  Parties to be performed  and  observed and do all things  necessary to
preserve and to keep unimpaired its rights thereunder, and (ii) within three (3)
Business Days  following  receipt,  notify Lender of the giving of any notice by
any Property  Manager to Borrower  Parties of any default by a Borrower Party in
the  performance  or observance of any of the terms,  covenants or conditions of
any  Management  Agreement on the part of a Borrower  Party to be performed  and
observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice.

(c) Without the prior written consent of Lender (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld if no Event of Default exists), no Borrower Party shall
(i) surrender any Management Agreement, (ii) consent to the

                                       34


assignment by the Property  Manager of its rights,  duties or obligations  under
any Management Agreement, (iii) terminate or cancel any Management Agreement, or
(iv) modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Management Agreement, either
orally or in writing.

     (d) Any change in  ownership or control of any  Property  Manager  shall be
cause  for  Lender  to  re-approve  such  Property  Manager  and the  applicable
Management Agreement (such approval not to be unreasonably  withheld if no Event
of Default exists).

     (e)  Borrower  hereby  assigns to Lender  all the  rights,  privileges  and
prerogatives  of Borrower in and under any Management  Agreement  (including the
right to surrender any  Management  Agreement or to terminate,  cancel,  modify,
change, supplement,  alter or amend any Management Agreement in any respect, and
any such surrender of any  Management  Agreement or  termination,  cancellation,
modification,  change,  supplement,  alteration  or amendment of any  Management
Agreement  without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and
effect).

     (f) Upon the  occurrence of an Event of Default,  Lender may require,  upon
ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Borrower,  that Borrower select a
Property  Manager not  affiliated  with Borrower to manage each  Property.  If a
Property  Manager is so required by Lender,  Borrower shall  immediately seek to
appoint  a  Property  Manager  acceptable  to  Lender  (in the  exercise  of its
reasonable  discretion),  which  Property  Manager  shall  (i)  be  a  reputable
management  company having at least ten (10) years' experience in the management
of properties  substantially similar to each Property and in the jurisdiction in
which each Property is located,  (ii) not be paid  management  fees in excess of
market  fees,  (iii)  enter into a  property  management  agreement  in form and
content  acceptable to Lender (such approval not to be  unreasonably  withheld),
and (iv) enter into a  subordination  agreement  with Lender in form and content
reasonably required by Lender.

     SECTION 7.11. MATERIAL AGREEMENTS.  Borrower shall not enter into or become
obligated  under, or permit Property  Manager to enter into or become  obligated
under,  any Material  Agreement  pertaining to any  Property,  without the prior
written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     SECTION 7.12. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

     SECTION 7.13. ERISA.

     (a) No Borrower Party shall engage in any transaction  that would cause any
obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender
of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents)
to be a  non-exempt  (under  a  statutory  or  administrative  class  exemption)
prohibited transaction under ERISA.

     (b) Borrower Parties shall deliver to Lender such  certifications  or other
evidence  from time to time  throughout  the term of the Loan,  as  requested by
Lender,  that (i) no Borrower Party is an "employee  benefit plan" as defined in
Section 3(3) of ERISA,  which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a "governmental
plan" within the meaning of Section  3(32) of ERISA;  (ii) no Borrower  Party is
subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations
with  respect to,  governmental  plans;  and (iii) one or more of the  following
circumstances is true:

          (i) Equity  interests  in each  Borrower  Party are  publicly  offered
     securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. ss.2510.3-101(b)(2);

          (ii) Less than twenty-five  percent (25%) of each outstanding class of
     equity interests in each Borrower Party is held by "benefit plan investors"
     within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. ss.2510.3-101(f)(2); or

          (iii) Each Borrower  Party  qualifies as an  "operating  company" or a
     "real  estate   operating   company"   within  the  meaning  of  29  C.F.R.
     ss.2510.3-101(c) or (e).

                                       35


     SECTION 7.14.  APPRAISAL.  Borrower  Parties shall  cooperate with Lender's
request  for  reasonable  information  necessary  to  complete  a new or updated
appraisal of each Property,  and Borrower Parties shall reimburse Lender for all
costs associated with a new or updated appraisal of such Property; provided that
so long as no Event of Default  has  occurred,  Borrower  Parties  shall only be
obligated  to  reimburse  Lender for one (1) new or updated  appraisal  for each
Property  after the  Funding  Date (the  reimbursement  obligations  of Borrower
Parties being unlimited following the occurrence of an Event of Default).

     SECTION 7.15. RELEASE OF COLLATERAL.

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.15, Lender agrees
to execute and deliver to  Borrower in  connection  with the sale or transfer by
any  Individual  Borrower  of any  Property  a partial  release  instrument  (in
recordable  form) of the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents as to
such Property (each, a "Partial Release"), provided that in connection with each
such  Partial  Release,  each and  every  one of the  following  conditions  are
satisfied  (to be  determined  by  Lender  in  the  exercise  of its  reasonable
judgment):

          (i) As of the date Lender  issues such  Partial  Release,  no monetary
     Potential Default (which solely for the purposes of this provisions means a
     failure  to make a  payment  of a  liquidated  sum of money on the due date
     thereof but for which the  applicable  grace period has yet to expire) then
     exists, and no Event of Default shall exist;

          (ii) Borrower shall have submitted a written  request for such Partial
     Release no less than  thirty  (30) days prior to the  anticipated  issuance
     thereof,  such request  identifying the Property  subject to such requested
     Partial Release and containing all other information required hereunder;

          (iii) Borrower shall not be entitled to request, and Lender shall have
     no obligation to issue: (A) a Partial Release prior to October 1, 2009, and
     (B)  Partial  Releases  for more than two (2)  Properties  in any  12-month
     period;

          (iv) Borrower shall not be entitled to request,  and Lender shall have
     no  obligation  to  issue  a  Partial  Release  for any  Property,  if such
     Property, together with all Properties previously released pursuant to this
     Section 7.15,  contains,  in the  aggregate,  more than: (A) 807,000 square
     feet, if the San Ignacio  Properties  shall have been  previously  released
     pursuant to this Section 7.15 or  substituted  pursuant to Section 7.16; or
     (B) 600,000, if the San Ignacio Properties shall remain in the Portfolio;

          (v) Concurrently with its delivery of a Partial Release,  Lender shall
     receive a partial release prepayment (each a "Partial Release  Prepayment")
     in an  amount  equal  to:  (A) one  hundred  twenty  percent  (120%) of the
     Allocated  Loan Amount for the  applicable  Property and (B) the Applicable
     Prepayment Fee (if any) relating to such Partial Release  Prepayment,  such
     amount  to  be  applied  by  Lender  in  satisfaction  of  the  Obligations
     (including any such Applicable Prepayment Fee);

          (vi) Lender shall have  confirmed,  in the exercise of its  reasonable
     judgment,  that  the  remaining  Properties  within  the  Portfolio  shall,
     following  the  issuance of such Partial  Release,  generate a Debt Service
     Coverage Ratio,  calculated for the 12-month period  immediately  following
     the issuance of the requested  Partial Release (based on a fully amortizing
     20-year  schedule),  equal to or in excess of the greater of: (A) 125%,  or
     (B) the Debt Service  Coverage Ratio for all  Properties  (inclusive of the
     Property subject to the requested Partial Release and without giving effect
     to the Partial  Release  Prepayment  to be made for the  requested  Partial
     Release)  calculated  for the 12-month  period  immediately  preceding  the
     issuance of the requested Partial Release;

          (vii)  Lender shall have  confirmed in the exercise of its  reasonable
     judgment,  that the Loan to Value Ratio,  calculated after giving effect to
     the  issuance  of the  requested  Partial  Release and  application  of the
     Partial Release  Prepayment to be made for such requested  Partial Release,
     shall not  exceed  the  lesser of (1) 65%,  or (2) the Loan to Value  Ratio
     calculated  immediately  prior to  giving  effect to the  issuance  of such
     Partial  Release and  application of the Partial  Release  Prepayment to be
     made for such Partial Release. As used herein,  "Loan to Value Ratio" means
     the ratio of (A) the then outstanding balance of the Loan,

                                       36


     compared to (B) the  aggregate of the then "as is" value of the  Portfolio,
     all as determined by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment;

          (viii)  Concurrently  with  Lender's  execution  and  delivery of each
     Partial  Release,  Lender must  receive a partial  release fee of $2,500.00
     together  with payment of all  reasonable  costs and  expenses  incurred by
     Lender  in  connection  with such  Partial  Release,  including  reasonable
     outside counsel attorneys' fees and expenses; and

          (ix) Lender shall have  confirmed  in the  exercise of its  reasonable
     judgment,  that no Property remaining within the Portfolio will,  following
     the issuance of the requested  Partial  Release,  be adversely  affected by
     such partial release because such remaining Property relied on the Property
     to be  released  for  compliance  with all  Legal  Requirements  (including
     zoning, subdivision, shared parking, utilities, and/or access).

     (b) Upon approval of a requested  Partial  Release and  satisfaction of the
terms and  conditions  specified in this Section 7.15,  Lender shall execute and
deliver to Borrower Parties the Partial Release.

     SECTION 7.16. SUBSTITUTION OF COLLATERAL.

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.16, Lender agrees
to accept the  substitution  of collateral  for a Property  (each, a "Collateral
Substitution"),  provided that in connection with each Collateral  Substitution,
each and every one of the following  conditions  are satisfied (to be determined
by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment):

          (i) As of the date Lender consents to the Collateral  Substitution and
     as of the date the Collateral Substitution is deemed effective, no monetary
     Potential Default (which solely for the purposes of this provisions means a
     failure  to make a  payment  of a  liquidated  sum of money on the due date
     thereof but for which the  applicable  grace period has yet to expire) then
     exists, and no Event of Default shall exist;

          (ii) Borrower shall not be entitled to request,  and Lender shall have
     no obligation to approve: (A) a Collateral Substitution prior to October 1,
     2009 or after October 1, 2017,  and (B) Collateral  Substitutions  for more
     than two (2) Properties in any 12-month period;

          (iii) Only  Borrower,  and not a  permitted  successor  under  Section
     7.1(c), shall have the right to request a Collateral Substitution;

          (iv) Borrower shall not be entitled to request,  and Lender shall have
     no obligation  to approve a Collateral  Substitution  for any Property,  if
     such Property, together with all Properties previously substituted pursuant
     to this Section 7.16,  contains,  in the aggregate,  more than: (A) 807,000
     square  feet,  if the San  Ignacio  Properties  shall have been  previously
     released  pursuant to Section 7.15 or substituted  pursuant to this Section
     7.16; or (B) 600,000,  if the San Ignacio Properties shall remain a portion
     of the Portfolio;

          (v) Lender shall have  confirmed,  in the  exercise of its  reasonable
     judgment, that the Portfolio will, following the closing of such Collateral
     Substitution,  generate a Debt Service  Coverage Ratio,  calculated for the
     12-month  period  immediately   following  the  closing  of  the  requested
     Collateral  Substitution  (based on a fully amortizing  20-year  schedule),
     equal to or in excess of the greater of: (A) 125%,  or (B) the Debt Service
     Coverage Ratio (inclusive of the Property to be released from the Portfolio
     and  exclusive of the  Substitute  Property to be added to the Portfolio in
     connection with the requested Collateral  Substitution)  calculated for the
     12-month  period  immediately   preceding  the  closing  of  the  requested
     Collateral Substitution;

          (vi) Lender shall have  confirmed  in the  exercise of its  reasonable
     judgment,  that the Loan to Value Ratio,  calculated after giving effect to
     the closing of the Collateral  Substitution,  will not exceed the lesser of
     (1) 65%, or (2) the Loan to Value  Ratio  calculated  immediately  prior to
     giving  effect  to the

                                       37


     closing of the  Collateral  Substitution.  As used  herein,  "Loan to Value
     Ratio"  means the ratio of (A) the then  outstanding  balance  of the Loan,
     compared to (B) the  aggregate of the then "as is" value of the  Portfolio,
     all as determined by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment;

          (vii) Borrower  Parties shall have submitted a written request for the
     Collateral  Substitution  no  less  than  sixty  (60)  days  prior  to  the
     anticipated  consummation  thereof,  such request  identifying the Property
     subject  to  the  requested   Collateral   Substitution  and  the  proposed
     substitute  collateral  therefor,  and  containing  all  other  information
     reasonably  requested by Lender in connection with its consideration of the
     request for the Collateral  Substitution (said sixty (60) day review period
     commencing  when Lender receives all  information  reasonably  requested by
     Lender).  At the  time of  submission  of such  written  request,  Borrower
     Parties shall provide to Lender a work fee in the amount of $25,000.00 (the
     "Substitution Work Fee");

          (viii) Borrower Parties must provide the same scope and quality of due
     diligence  materials  in  connection  with  Lender's  consideration  of the
     proposed  Substitute  Property  as  provided in  connection  with  Lender's
     underwriting and due diligence  associated with the applicable Property for
     which substitute  collateral is being provided  (including  title,  survey,
     property condition,  environmental and seismic reports,  evidence of zoning
     compliance,  evidence of insurance and tenant estoppels) and any additional
     materials  then  required  as a result  of  changes  to  Lender's  standard
     underwriting or due diligence processes;

          (ix)  Lender  must  approve,   in  the  exercise  of  its   reasonable
     discretion,   all  aspects  of  the  proposed  substitute  collateral  (the
     "Substitute  Property"),  including such factors as value,  age, cash flow,
     quality,  property  condition,  location,  tenancy and other  factors  then
     included in Lender's underwriting criteria;

          (x) If requested by Lender in its reasonable discretion as a condition
     to its approval of any Substitute Property,  Lender and Borrower shall have
     amended and restated the Allocated Loan Amounts for the Substitute Property
     and each remaining Property within the Portfolio;

          (xi) If approved,  Lender shall receive a collateral  substitution fee
     in  an  amount  equal  to  $25,000.00,   payable   concurrently   with  the
     consummation of the Collateral Substitution; and

          (xii)  Lender shall have  confirmed in the exercise of its  reasonable
     judgment,  that no Property remaining within the Portfolio will,  following
     the consummation of the Collateral  Substitution,  be adversely affected by
     such Collateral  Substitution because such remaining Property relied on the
     Property  to  be  released  for  compliance  with  all  Legal  Requirements
     (including zoning, subdivision, shared parking, utilities, and/or access).

     (b) Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs and
expenses  incurred  by  Lender  in  connection  with  the  proposed   Collateral
Substitution, including reasonable outside counsel fees and expenses, regardless
of whether the Collateral  Substitution is approved by Lender.  Payment of costs
and expenses must be tendered upon the earlier of consummation of the Collateral
Substitution  or within the Demand Period.  The  Substitution  Work Fee shall be
applied to reimburse  Lender for its costs and  expenses  (with any excess after
full  payment  of all of  Lender's  costs  and  expenses  being  applied  to the
collateral substitution fee of $25,000 or returned to Borrower Parties), but the
Substitution  Work Fee  shall not be  deemed  to be a cap or  limitation  on the
obligation of Borrower to reimburse  Lender for all costs and expenses  incurred
by Lender under this Section 7.16, regardless of whether such amounts exceed the
Substitution Work Fee and/or Lender,  in the exercise of its judgment,  does not
approve the requested Collateral Substitution.

     (c) If a proposed Collateral  Substitution is approved by Lender,  Borrower
Parties shall,  at their sole cost,  execute and/or  deliver:  (i) all documents
reasonably  required by Lender,  which documentation shall be in form comparable
to the Loan  Documents  executed as of the date hereof and which shall include a
modification   and/or   reaffirmation   agreement  covering  the  existing  Loan
Documents, a mortgage, deed of trust or other customary security instrument,  an
assignment  of leases  and  rents,  an  assignment  of  property  documents,  an
assignment of  management  agreement and  subordination  of management  fees, an
environmental  indemnity  agreement,  a closing affidavit and Uniform Commercial
Code financing statements; (ii) an ALTA (or equivalent) mortgagee title policy

                                       38


for the  Substitute  Property,  such  title  policy to be in form and  substance
satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion; (iii) evidence of authority
and entity  existence;  (iv) Uniform  Commercial  Code,  judgment and bankruptcy
searches;  (v)  opinions  of  counsel  reasonably  acceptable  to Lender on such
matters as Lender  shall  reasonably  require;  (vi)  evidence of  insurance  as
required  by  Section  3.1 for the  Substitute  Property;  and (vii)  such other
documents or items as Lender shall reasonably require in order to effectuate the
Collateral Substitution.

     (d) Upon approval of the proposed Collateral  Substitution and satisfaction
of the terms and conditions specified in this Section 7.16, Lender shall execute
and deliver to Borrower  Parties a partial  release (in recordable  form) of the
lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan  Documents  with respect to the Property
for which substitute collateral is being provided. Following the consummation of
the Collateral  Substitution,  the  Substitute  Property shall be considered and
deemed to be a "Property" and included  within the  "Portfolio" for all purposes
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 7.17. EXCESS COLLATERAL.

     (a)  Lender  acknowledges  that,  as a result of  Borrower's  inability  to
complete certain parcel splits in accordance with applicable Legal  Requirements
prior to the  Funding  Date,  certain  portions of certain  Properties  (as more
particularly  described on Schedule 2,  collectively,  the "Excess  Collateral")
include Land and  Improvements  and other  Collateral which is encumbered by the
lien of the Mortgage  and the other Loan  Documents  solely  because such Excess
Collateral  is  included  within  the same tax  parcel  or lot of  record as the
portions  of  such  Properties  that  are  intended  to  constitute   Collateral
hereunder.  Subject to the terms and  conditions  of this Section  7.17,  Lender
agrees to execute  and  deliver to  Borrower a partial  release  instrument  (in
recordable  form) of the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents as to
any portion of such Excess  Collateral (each, an "Excess  Collateral  Release"),
provided that in connection with each such Excess Collateral  Release,  each and
every one of the following  conditions are satisfied (to be determined by Lender
in the exercise of its reasonable judgment):

          (i) As of the date Lender issues such Excess  Collateral  Release,  no
     monetary   Potential  Default  (which  solely  for  the  purposes  of  this
     provisions  means a failure to make a payment of a liquidated  sum of money
     on the due date thereof but for which the  applicable  grace period has yet
     to expire) then exists, and no Event of Default shall exist;

          (ii) Borrower shall have  submitted a written  request for such Excess
     Collateral  Release no less than thirty (30) days prior to the  anticipated
     issuance thereof,  such request (A) identifying the portion of the Property
     subject to such  requested  Excess  Collateral  Release,  (B) to include an
     approved site or subdivision  plan  delineating the portion of the Property
     subject to such requested Excess Collateral  Release and the portion of the
     Property to remain within the  Portfolio,  (C) all necessary  easements and
     other  agreements  preserving  all  necessary  rights  associated  with the
     Property  to remain  within the  Portfolio,  and (D)  containing  all other
     information  required hereunder.  Such written request shall also include a
     certificate  in form  reasonably  acceptable  to Lender from an  Authorized
     Representative  of Borrower  certifying  that:  (1) in connection  with any
     subdivision of the applicable Property necessary to accommodate the subject
     Excess  Collateral  Release,  Borrower Parties have complied with all Legal
     Requirements  and  obtained  all  approvals   required  under  any  Leases,
     Permitted Encumbrances, or other contracts or agreements applicable to such
     Property  (said  certification  to  include  copies  of all such  approvals
     required pursuant to Legal Requirements,  Leases, Permitted Encumbrances or
     other contracts or agreements  applicable to such  Property);  (2) that the
     requested Excess Collateral  Release does not violate any of the provisions
     of Leases,  Permitted  Encumbrances,  or other  contracts or agreements and
     that the  purchaser  or  transferee  has assumed  all of Borrower  Parties'
     obligations,  if any,  relating to the portion of such Property  subject to
     the Excess Collateral Release under such Leases, Permitted Encumbrances, or
     other contracts or agreements and Borrower  Parties have been released from
     the  payment  or  performance  of  any  obligations  thereunder  thereafter
     arising;  (3) that  any  subdivision  necessary  for the  requested  Excess
     Collateral  Release shall not materially and adversely  affect the utility,
     access,  driveways,  parking, drainage flows, operation or any other use of
     the remaining portion of the affected Property and the Improvements thereon
     in  conformance  with all Legal  Requirements;  and (4) no  Tenants  at the
     remaining portion of the affected Property will be relocated to the portion
     of  such  Property  subject  to the  Excess  Collateral  Release  (but  the
     foregoing  prohibition  on the  relocation of any Tenant shall not prohibit
     any Tenant from expanding into all or any portion of such Property  subject
     to the Excess Collateral Release);

                                       39


          (iii) Concurrently with Lender's execution and delivery of each Excess
     Collateral Release, Lender must receive payment of all reasonable costs and
     expenses  incurred  by Lender in  connection  with such  Excess  Collateral
     Release, including reasonable outside counsel attorneys' fees and expenses;
     and

          (iv) Lender shall have  confirmed  in the  exercise of its  reasonable
     judgment,  that no Property remaining within the Portfolio will,  following
     the  issuance of the  requested  Excess  Collateral  Release,  be adversely
     affected by such partial release because such remaining  Property relied on
     the  Property to be released  for  compliance  with all Legal  Requirements
     (including zoning, subdivision, shared parking, utilities and/or access).

     (b) Upon approval of a requested Excess Collateral Release and satisfaction
of the terms and conditions specified in this Section 7.17, Lender shall execute
and deliver to Borrower Parties the Excess Collateral Release.

                                   ARTICLE 8.

                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT

rights and remedies,  upon the occurrence and during the existence of any one or
more  of  the  following   events   (individually  an  "Event  of  Default"  and
collectively,  "Events of Default"); provided that the following acts, omissions
or  conditions  shall not be deemed to  constitute  an "Event of  Default"  (and
thereby cause  interest to accrue at the Default Rate and/or  entitle  Lender to
pursue all available  rights and remedies)  until any and all specified grace or
cure periods have expired:

          (a) If any monthly  installment  of Debt Service  and/or  Impounds (if
     any) is not received by Lender on or before 2 p.m.  (Hartford,  Connecticut

          (b) If the Obligations are not paid in full on the Maturity Date;

     failure;

          (f) If any fact,  circumstance or event (other than those specifically
     addressed  elsewhere  in this  Article 8) shall occur that is  specifically
     characterized  under any  provision of any other Loan Document as an "Event
     of Default" under such Loan Document;

          (g) If any Federal or state tax Lien (other than an inchoate  lien for
     local real estate taxes and  assessments  not yet due and payable) is filed
     against any Borrower  Party and the same is not discharged of record within
     sixty (60) days after the same is filed,  unless (1) such tax Lien is being
     diligently  contested by the applicable  Borrower Party in good faith,  (2)
     the  applicable  Borrower  Party,  as the case may be, shall have deposited
     with Lender cash  reserves (or other  appropriate  security  acceptable  to
     Lender  in its  discretion)  which,  in the  opinion  of  Lender,  will  be
     sufficient  to cover the tax Lien and all interest and  penalties  thereon,
     and (3) Lender is  satisfied  that such tax Lien does not have a materially
     adverse effect on the business,  assets or financial or other  condition of
     any Borrower Party, as the case may be, or on any Property, the Mortgage or
     the Lien thereof;

                                       40


          (h) If a Transfer  occurs in violation of the  covenants  set forth in
     Section 7.1;

          (i) Intentionally omitted;

          (j) If any  representation or warranty of or on behalf of any Borrower

     or if such court  decrees or orders the  winding up or  liquidation  of the
     affairs  of any  Borrower  Party,  and any  such  decree  or  order  is not
     dismissed,  discharged  or vacated of record  within ninety (90) days after
     the same has been entered;

          (m) If any Borrower Party  voluntarily  files a petition for relief or

     dissolves,  is  wound  up or  its  existence  is  otherwise  terminated  or
     dissolved;

          (p) If Carveout  Indemnitor  is not the sole  general  partner of each
     Individual Borrower or does not control the exercise of all rights,  powers
     and privileges  related  thereto in violation of the terms,  conditions and

     pendency,  stop order,  notice of intention to file  mechanic's or material
     supplier's  lien,   mechanic's  or  material  supplier's  lien  (excluding,
     however,  any  noticed  filed  pursuant to  applicable  state law solely to
     preserve future lien rights) or other Lien of any nature  whatsoever (other
     than Permitted Encumbrances) and the same shall not either be discharged of
     record or in the alternative  insured over to the satisfaction of Lender by
     the  Title  Company  within a period of sixty  (60) days  after the same is
     filed  or  recorded  (irrespective  of  whether  the  same is  superior  or
     subordinate  in Lien or  other  priority  to the Lien of the  Mortgage  and
     irrespective  of whether the same  constitutes a perfected or inchoate Lien
     or  encumbrance  on such Property or is only a matter of record or notice),
     subject to the right of  Borrower  Parties to contest  same as set forth in
     Section 7.2(b);

     of a Restoration);

                                       41

     Lender;  (2)  the  Environmental   Indemnity  Agreement  and  such  failure
     continues for thirty (30) days after written notice from Lender  (provided,
     however,  that if a shorter  cure  period  is  required  by Lender  (in the
     exercise  of its  discretion)  because of a potential  impairment  to human
     safety or a potential  material  impairment  to the value of any  Property,
     then  Borrower  Parties shall have such shorter cure period as set forth in
     Lender's  written  notice);  (3) the  Carveout  Indemnity  and such failure
     continues for fifteen (15) days after written notice from Lender);  (4) the
     Assignment of Leases and Rents and such failure  continues for fifteen (15)
     days after written notice from Lender;  or (5) any Assignment of Management
     Agreement  and such failure  continues  for fifteen (15) days after written
     notice from Lender; provided, however, that so long as (A) any such failure
     does not involve the failure to make payment of a  liquidated  sum of money
     (which must be paid within any applicable Demand Period),  (B) an extension
     of the  applicable  cure period will not, in the  reasonable  estimation of
     Lender,  cause  a  material  impairment  to the  value,  use,  utility,  or
     operation of any Property,  the Portfolio or the other  Collateral,  (C) an
     extension  of the  applicable  cure  period  will  not,  in the  reasonable
     estimation  of Lender,  expose  Lender to any fines or  penalties  (whether
     civil or criminal),  (D) any such failure cannot reasonably be cured within
     the applicable  cure period,  and (E) the  applicable  Borrower Party shall
     have  commenced a reasonable  cure for such  Potential  Default  within the
     applicable cure period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds
     to cure the same,  then the applicable cure period shall be extended for so
     long as it shall be reasonably  necessary for such Borrower  Party,  in the
     exercise of due diligence, to cure such Potential Default (Borrower Parties
     agreeing  that they  shall  bear the  burden  of proof  before  any  court,
     arbitrator  or other  trier of fact in  connection  with  establishing  the
     reasonableness  of any cure or extended  cure period  and/or that Lender is
     acting  in  a   commercially   unreasonable   manner  if  Lender   makes  a
     determination  adverse to such Borrower Party under  subsections (B) or (C)
     of this subparagraph  (t));  provided  further,  that in no event shall the
     cure period  available under this  subparagraph (t) exceed ninety (90) days
     in the aggregate; or

          (u) If any  Borrower  Party  shall  fail to  comply  with any of their
     respective covenants,  agreements,  warranties, duties or obligations under
     this   Agreement  or  any  other  Loan   Document  that  is  not  otherwise
     specifically  addressed in this Article 8 and such  failure  continues  for
     thirty (30) days after written notice from Lender; provided,  however, that
     so long as (A) any  such  failure  does not  involve  the  failure  to make
     payment  of a  liquidated  sum of  money  (which  must be paid  within  any
     applicable  Demand  Period),  (B) an  extension of the thirty (30) day cure
     period will not, in the reasonable  estimation of Lender,  cause a material
     impairment to the value,  use, utility,  or operation of any Property,  the
     Portfolio or the other Collateral,  (C) an extension of the thirty (30) day
     cure period will not, in the reasonable estimation of Lender, expose Lender
     to any fines or penalties (whether civil or criminal), (D) any such failure
     cannot reasonably be cured within the thirty (30) day cure period,  and (E)
     the applicable  Borrower  Party shall have commenced a reasonable  cure for
     such  Potential  Default  within  the  thirty  (30)  day  cure  period  and
     thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, then the
     thirty  (30) day cure period  shall be extended  for so long as it shall be
     reasonably  necessary for the applicable Borrower Party, in the exercise of
     due diligence,  to cure such Potential  Default  (Borrower Parties agreeing
     that they shall bear the burden of proof  before any court,  arbitrator  or
     other trier of fact in connection with  establishing the  reasonableness of
     any cure or  extended  cure  period  and/or  that  Lender  is  acting  in a
     commercially unreasonable manner if Lender makes a determination adverse to
     such Borrower Party under subsections (B) or (C) of this subparagraph (u));
     provided,  further,  that in no event shall the cure period available under
     this subparagraph (u) exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate.

     SECTION 8.2. REMEDIES.

     (a)  Upon  the   occurrence  of  any  Event  of  Default,   interest  shall
automatically  begin to accrue at the Default Rate,  and at the option of Lender
(except in  connection  with any of the Events of Default  described  in Section
8.1(k) through (o), when  acceleration  is  automatic),  all  Obligations  shall
become  immediately  due and  payable,  and Lender may  exercise  all rights and
remedies under the Loan Documents and at law or in equity,  all without  written
notice and without presentment,  demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor,
notice of intent to accelerate the maturity  thereof,  notice of acceleration of
the maturity  thereof,  or any other notice of default of any kind, all of which
are  hereby  expressly  waived by each  Borrower  Party for itself and all other
Borrower Parties.


     (b) Upon the  occurrence of any of the events  specified in Section  8.1(k)
through (o), interest shall  automatically  begin to accrue at the Default Rate,
all Obligations  shall  automatically  become  immediately due and payable,  and
Lender may exercise all rights and remedies  under the Loan Documents and at law
or in equity,  all  without  written  notice and  without  presentment,  demand,
protest,  notice of  protest or  dishonor,  notice of intent to

                                       42


accelerate the maturity thereof, notice of acceleration of the maturity thereof,
or any other  notice of default of any kind,  all of which are hereby  expressly
waived by each Borrower Party for itself and all other Borrower Parties.

     SECTION 8.3. LENDER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM THE OBLIGATIONS.

     (a) If a Borrower  Party shall fail,  refuse or neglect to make any payment
or perform any act required by the Loan  Documents and such failure  constitutes
an Event of Default, then without notice to or demand upon any Borrower Party or
any other Person,  and without  waiving or releasing any other right,  remedy or
recourse Lender may have because of such Event of Default, Lender may (but shall
not be  obligated  to) make such  payment or perform such act for the account of
and at the expense of Borrower  Parties,  and shall have the right to enter upon
any  Property  for such  purpose  and to take all such  action  thereon and with
respect to such Property as it may deem necessary or appropriate.

     (b) If  Lender  shall  elect  to pay  any  sum due  with  reference  to any
Property,  Lender may do so in reliance  on any bill,  statement  or  assessment
procured from the  appropriate  Governmental  Authority or other issuer  thereof
without  inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof.  Similarly,  in making
any  payments  to  protect  the  security  intended  to be  created  by the Loan
Documents,  Lender  shall  not be bound to  inquire  into  the  validity  of any
apparent or threatened adverse title claim, Lien,  encumbrance,  claim or charge
before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same.

     (c) Each Individual Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify,  defend
and hold Lender  harmless  from and  against  any and all  losses,  liabilities,
claims, damages, expenses,  obligations,  penalties,  actions, judgments, suits,
costs or disbursements of any kind or nature  whatsoever,  including  reasonable
attorneys' fees,  incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by Lender
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.3, including those arising from the
joint,  concurrent,  or comparative  negligence of Lender, except as a result of
Lender's  gross  negligence  or  willful  misconduct.  All sums  paid by  Lender
pursuant to this Section 8.3, and all other sums  expended by Lender to which it
shall be entitled to be  indemnified,  shall be paid by Borrower to Lender prior
to  expiration of the Demand  Period.  Any costs and expenses due and payable to
Lender pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall bear interest at the Default Rate from
the expiration of the Demand Period until payment in full is received by Lender,
and if Borrower fails to reimburse Lender within the Demand Period,  then Lender
may, in its discretion,  either (i) without  additional notice to Borrower,  add
such amounts to the principal  balance of the  Obligations to accrue interest at
the Contract Rate and be secured by the Loan Documents, or (ii) deem the failure
by Borrower to make timely  reimbursement as an Event of Default and continue to
accrue interest at the Default Rate in connection with such unpaid amounts until
repayment in full.

     Any  communication  so addressed  and mailed shall be deemed to be given on
the earliest of (1) when  actually  delivered  or (2) on the first  Business Day
after deposit with an overnight air courier  service,  if such deposit is timely
and appropriate in accordance with the  requirements of such courier service for
next  business  day  delivery,  in either  case to the  address of the  intended
addressee (except as otherwise provided in the Mortgage),  and any communication
so  delivered in person  shall be deemed to be given when  receipted  for by, or
actually  received  by Lender or a Borrower  Party,  as the case may be.  Either
party may  designate a change of address  within the United States of America by
written  notice to the other by  giving  at least  ten (10) days  prior  written
notice of such change of address.

     SECTION 9.2.  AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.  No purported  amendment or waiver of
any  provision of the Loan  Documents  shall be effective  unless in writing and
signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

     SECTION 9.3.  LIMITATION  ON  INTEREST.  Under no  circumstances  shall the
aggregate  amount paid or agreed to be paid as interest under the Loan Documents
exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under applicable usury law of the State
or of any state in which any Property is located, and the payment obligations of
Borrower  Parties under the Loan  Documents are hereby limited  accordingly.  If
under any circumstances, whether by reason of advancement or acceleration of the
unpaid principal balance of the Loan or otherwise, the aggregate amounts paid on
the Loan shall include  amounts which by law are deemed interest and which would
exceed such highest lawful rate,  Borrower Parties hereby stipulate that payment
and collection of such excess amounts shall have been and will be deemed to have
been the result of a mistake on the part of both  Borrower  Parties  and Lender,
and Lender shall, at its option,  either return such excess to Borrower  Parties
or credit such excess  against the  principal  balance of the  Obligations  then
outstanding  (without  application of any Applicable  Prepayment  Fee), in which
event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable law as a result of such
excess interest shall be inapplicable.

     SECTION 9.4. INVALID  PROVISIONS.  If any provision of any Loan Document is
held to be illegal,  invalid or  unenforceable,  then (i) such  provision  shall
automatically  be  deemed  fully  severable;  (ii) the Loan  Documents  shall be
construed and enforced as if such illegal,  invalid or  unenforceable  provision
had never comprised a part thereof;  (iii) the remaining  provisions of the Loan
Documents  shall remain in full effect and shall not be affected by the illegal,
invalid, or unenforceable  provision or by its severance therefrom;  and (iv) in
lieu of such illegal,  invalid or  unenforceable  provision there shall be added
automatically as a part of such Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to
such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible so that said
substitute provision is legal, valid and enforceable.

     SECTION 9.5. PAYMENT AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES.

     (a) In  addition  to its  reimbursement  or payment  obligations  set forth
elsewhere  in this  Agreement or in the other Loan  Documents,  and prior to the
expiration  of any Demand  Period,  Borrower  Parties shall pay to Lender or, at
Lender's option,  shall reimburse Lender,  for all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and fees and expenses of
appraisers  and  environmental  professionals)  incurred by Lender in connection
with  (i)  intentionally   omitted;  (ii)  intentionally   omitted;   (iii)  the
negotiation, preparation,

                                       44


execution, delivery and administration of any consents,  amendments,  waivers or
other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other
documents or matters  (including leasing matters) requested by Borrower Parties;
(iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses,  title insurance and reasonable
fees and  expenses of  attorneys  for  providing  to Lender all  required  legal
opinions,  and other similar expenses  incurred,  in creating and perfecting the
Liens and security  interest in favor of Lender  pursuant to this  Agreement and
the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to
third party claims or the  prosecuting  or defending of any action or proceeding
or other litigation,  in each case against, under or affecting a Borrower Party,
this Agreement,  the other Loan Documents,  the Portfolio, or any other security
given for the  Obligations;  and (vi) enforcing any obligations of or collecting
any payments due from  Borrower  Parties  under this  Agreement,  the other Loan
Documents or with respect to the Portfolio or in connection with any refinancing
or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the
nature of a "work-out" or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.

     (b) Any costs and  expenses  due and  payable  to Lender  pursuant  to this
Section 9.5 shall bear  interest at the Default Rate from the  expiration of the
applicable  Demand  Period until Lender  receives  payment in full.  If Borrower
Parties  fail to  reimburse  Lender prior to the  expiration  of the  applicable
Demand Period, then Lender may, in its discretion, either (i) without additional
notice to Borrower  Parties,  add such amounts to the  principal  balance of the
Obligations  to accrue  interest at the Contract Rate and be secured by the Loan
Documents,  or (ii)  deem  the  failure  of  Borrower  Parties  to  make  timely
reimbursement  to be an Event of Default and continue to accrue  interest at the
Default Rate in connection with such unpaid amounts until repayment in full.

     SECTION 9.6.  APPROVALS;  THIRD PARTIES;  CONDITIONS.  All approval  rights
retained  or  exercised  by Lender  with  respect to Leases,  contracts,  plans,
studies and other  matters  shall not be deemed or construed as a  determination
that Lender has passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not
be relied upon by Borrower  Parties or any other Person.  This  Agreement is for
the sole  and  exclusive  use of  Borrower  Parties  and  Lender  and may not be
enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than Borrower Parties and Lender.
All  conditions  of the  obligations  of Lender  hereunder,  including  Lender's
discretionary right to make protective advances pursuant to Sections 8.3 or 9.5,
are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender, its successors and
assigns, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such
conditions or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make advances (if
any) in the absence of strict compliance with any or all of such conditions, and
no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of
such  conditions,  any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part
by Lender at any time in Lender's discretion.

     SECTION 9.7. LENDER NOT IN CONTROL;  NO PARTNERSHIP.  None of the covenants
or other  provisions  contained in this Agreement  shall, or shall be deemed to,
give  Lender  the  right or power  to  exercise  control  over  the  affairs  or
management of a Borrower Party,  the power of Lender being limited to the rights
to exercise the remedies referred to in the Loan Documents, at law or in equity.
The relationship  between Borrower Parties and Lender is, and at all times shall
remain, solely that of debtor and creditor. No covenant or provision of the Loan
Documents  is  intended,  nor  shall it be  deemed  or  construed,  to  create a
partnership,  joint  venture,  agency or common  interest  in  profits or income
between Lender and Borrower  Parties or to create any equity in the Portfolio in
Lender.  Lender  neither  undertakes nor assumes any  responsibility  or duty to
Borrower  Parties or to any other  Person with  respect to the  Portfolio or the
Loan, except as expressly  provided in the Loan Documents,  and  notwithstanding
any other provision of the Loan  Documents:  (i) Lender is not, and shall not be
construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter ego, manager,  controlling person
or other  business  associate or  participant of any kind of a Borrower Party or
its stockholders,  members, or partners (as the case may be) and Lender does not
intend to ever assume such  status;  (ii) Lender shall in no event be liable for
any Debts,  expenses or losses  incurred or sustained by a Borrower  Party;  and
(iii) Lender shall not be deemed  responsible  for or a participant in any acts,
omissions or  decisions of a Borrower  Party or its  stockholders,  members,  or
partners  (as the case may be).  Lender and Borrower  Parties each  disclaim any
intention to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in
profits or income  between Lender and a Borrower  Party,  or to create equity in
the  Portfolio  in Lender,  or any  sharing  of  liabilities,  losses,  costs or
expenses.

SECTION 9.8. TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect
to the performance of each Borrower Parties' obligations under the Loan
Documents.

                                       45


     SECTION 9.9.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the  benefit  of  Lender,  Borrower  Parties  and their  respective
successors and assigns, provided that no Borrower Party shall, without the prior
written  consent  of Lender  (which  may be  granted  or  withheld  in  Lender's
discretion) or except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.1, assign any
rights, duties or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

SECTION 9.10.     SERVICING, TRANSFERS, ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

     (a) At the option of Lender,  the Loan may be serviced  by a servicer  (the
"Servicer")  selected by Lender from time to time and Lender may delegate all or
any  portion of its  responsibilities  under this  Agreement  and the other Loan
Documents to the Servicer  pursuant to a servicing  agreement between Lender and
Servicer.  Servicer shall be entitled to  reimbursement of costs and expenses as
and to the same extent (but without  duplication) as Lender is entitled  thereto
under the applicable  provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
provided that  Borrower  Parties shall not be obligated to pay any servicing fee
payable to the Servicer by Lender.  Upon notice  thereof  from Lender,  Servicer
shall  have  the  right to  exercise  all  rights  of  Lender  and  enforce  all
obligations of Borrower  Parties  pursuant to the provisions of this  Agreement,
the Note and the other Loan Documents. Provided Borrower Parties shall have been
given notice of Servicer's address by Lender,  Borrower Parties shall deliver to
Servicer duplicate originals of all notices and other instruments which Borrower
Parties  may or  shall  be  required  to  deliver  to  Lender  pursuant  to this
Agreement,  the Note and the  other  Loan  Documents  (and no  delivery  of such
notices or other instruments by Borrower Parties shall be of any force or effect
unless delivered to Lender and Servicer as provided above).

     (b)  Lender  may at any time  sell,  transfer  or  assign  the  Note,  this
Agreement,  the Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing
rights with respect  thereto or grant  participations  therein or issue mortgage
pass-through  certificates,  provided  that  Lender  shall  remain as the "lead"
lender and primary  contact for all required  consents and  approvals  under the
Loan  Documents.  Lender  may  forward  to any  present,  future or  prospective
purchaser,  assignee, servicer,  participant or investor (each, a "Transferee"),
all documents  and  information  which Lender now has or may  hereafter  acquire
relating to any Borrower Party or the Portfolio, whether furnished by a Borrower
Party, any Property Manager or any other Person, as Lender determines  necessary
or desirable;  provided that Lender receives a reasonable  undertaking  from the
applicable  Transferee  to  maintain  the  confidential  nature (if any) of such
information.  Each Borrower Party shall cooperate with Lender in connection with
any transfer made  pursuant to this Section  9.10,  including the delivery of an
estoppel  certificate and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by
Lender.  Each Borrower Party shall also furnish,  and hereby  consents to Lender
furnishing  to such  Transferee,  any and all  current  or  updated  information
concerning its financial  condition and any and all  information  concerning the
Portfolio as may be requested by Lender or any Transferee;  provided that Lender
receives a reasonable undertaking from the applicable Transferee to maintain the
confidential  nature (if any) of such information.  No exercise by Lender of any
transfer rights pursuant hereto shall operate to release or diminish the duties,
obligations  or  liabilities  of any Borrower  Party under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents.

     (c) Without in any way limiting  Lender's  other rights  hereunder,  Lender
shall have the right,  in its  discretion at any time after the Funding Date, to
require Borrower Parties to split the Loan into one or more loans secured by the
Portfolio  (individually,  a "Split Loan" and collectively,  the "Split Loans"),
provided that (i) the aggregate  principal  amount of all notes  evidencing  the
Split  Loans  shall  equal  the  outstanding   principal  balance  of  the  Loan
immediately  prior to the creation of such split notes,  (ii) the aggregate debt
service  payments on the Split Loans  shall on the date  created  equal the debt
service payment which was due under the Loan  immediately  prior to the creation
of such Split Loans,  and (iii) the other terms and  provisions of the documents
evidencing  and/or  securing the Split Loans shall be  substantially  similar in
form  and  substance  to the Loan  Documents.  Borrower  Parties,  at no cost or
expense to it, shall  cooperate with all reasonable  requests of Lender in order
to establish  the Split Loans and shall  execute and deliver  such  documents as
shall be reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith,  all in form and
substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to Lender,  including  modified and severed
notes,  mortgages and other security  documents in such  denominations as Lender
shall determine in its discretion,  release  documents and any and all documents
necessary to assign the Split Loans.

     SECTION  9.11.  REPLACEMENT  DOCUMENTS.  Upon receipt of an affidavit of an
officer of Lender as to the loss,  theft,  destruction or mutilation of the Note
or any other document(s) which is not of public record and, in the

                                       46


case of any such  destruction or mutilation,  upon surrender and cancellation of
the Note or other document(s),  Borrower Parties shall issue, in lieu thereof, a
replacement  Note or other  document(s) in the same principal amount thereof and
otherwise of like tenor.

     SECTION 9.12.  RENEWAL,  EXTENSION OR REARRANGEMENT.  All provisions of the
Loan Documents  shall apply with equal effect to each and all  promissory  notes
and amendments thereof hereinafter  executed which in whole or in part represent
a renewal, extension, increase or rearrangement of the Loan.

     SECTION  9.13.  WAIVERS.  No course of dealing  on the part of Lender,  its
officers, employees, attorneys,  consultants or agents, nor any failure or delay
by Lender with respect to exercising  any right,  power,  privilege or remedy of
Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver thereof.

     SECTION 9.14.  CUMULATIVE  RIGHTS.  All rights and remedies of Lender under

shall not  enforce  the  liability  and  obligations  of Borrower to perform and
observe its duties and obligations  contained in the Note,  this Agreement,  the
Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money
judgment  shall be sought against any Borrower  Party,  provided that Lender may
bring a  foreclosure  action,  an action for specific  performance  or any other
appropriate  action or  proceeding  to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon
its interest under the Note, any Guaranty, this Agreement,  the Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents,  or in the Collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan
Documents; provided, further, that, subject to the qualifications and exceptions
set  forth  below,  any  judgment  in any such  action  or  proceeding  shall be
enforceable  against  Borrower  only  to  the  extent  of  its  interest  in the
Collateral,  and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and
the  other  Loan  Documents,  agrees  that  subject  to the  qualifications  and
exceptions set forth below,  it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency
judgment against  Borrower,  any other Borrower Party or any officer,  director,
manager, member or partner of Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or
by  reason  of or under or in  connection  with the Note,  this  Agreement,  the
Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents:

          (i) the provisions of Section 10.1(a) shall not:

               (A) Constitute a waiver,  release or impairment of any obligation
          evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents;

               (B)  Impair the right of Lender to name any  Borrower  Party as a
          party  defendant in any action or suit for  foreclosure and sale under
          the  Mortgage;

               (C)  Affect  the  validity  or  enforceability  of  the  Carveout
          Indemnity,  affect the liability,  duties and  obligations of Carveout
          Indemnitor under the Carveout  Indemnity,  or affect any of the rights
          and remedies of Lender under the Carveout Indemnity;

               (D)  Impair the right of Lender to obtain  the  appointment  of a
          receiver or affect the validity or enforceability of the Assignment of
          Leases and Rents, affect the liability,  duties and

                                       48


          obligations  of any Borrower  Party under the Assignment of Leases and
          Rents,  or affect any of the rights and  remedies of Lender  under the

               (E) Affect the validity or  enforceability  of the  Environmental
          Indemnity Agreement,  affect the liability,  duties and obligations of
          any Borrower Party under the  Environmental  Indemnity  Agreement,  or
          limit  the  rights  and  remedies  of Lender  under the  Environmental
          Indemnity Agreement; or

               (F) Constitute a prohibition  against Lender to seek a deficiency
          judgment  against  any  Borrower  Party  solely  in order  to  satisfy
          procedural  requirements  necessary  to  fully  realize  the  security
          granted  by the  Mortgage  or under any other  Loan  Documents,  or to
          commence  any  other  appropriate  action or  proceeding  in order for
          Lender to exercise its  remedies  against the  Collateral;  (and in no
          event shall any such  deficiency  judgment  issued  solely in order to
          satisfy  procedural  requirements  be enforced  against  assets of any
          Borrower Party other than the Collateral) and

          (ii) Each Individual Borrower,  jointly and severally, and jointly and
     severally  with  Carveout  Indemnitor  pursuant to the Carveout  Indemnity,
     hereby agrees to indemnify and reimburse  Lender,  within the Demand Period
     (and nothing set forth in this  Section  10.1 shall  constitute a waiver of
     the right of Lender to enforce the  liability  and  obligation  of Borrower
     Parties,  by money  judgment  or  otherwise),  to the extent of any and all
     liabilities,  costs,  losses  (including  any  reduction  in  value  of any
     Property or any other Collateral or the loss of Lender's  security interest
     therein),  damages,  expenses  (including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees and
     disbursements,  and court costs, if any), or claims suffered or incurred by
     Lender by reason of or in connection with any of the following:

               (A) Any fraud  committed by any Borrower Party in connection with
          the Loan;

               (B) Any material  misrepresentation  contained in any of the Loan
          Documents  or any  report  furnished  pursuant  to  any  of  the  Loan
          Documents by any Borrower Party;

               (C) The failure by Borrower to maintain  insurance in  accordance
          with Section 3.1;

               (D) The failure of any Borrower Party to apply Operating Revenues
          received by any Borrower Party to pay Debt Service, Impounds (if any),
          Operating  Expenses  (including in fulfilling  the  obligations of any
          Individual  Borrower as "landlord" under any Lease) and reasonable and
          necessary  capital  expenditures  or costs during the 12-month  period
          immediately   preceding  the   occurrence  of  the  Event  of  Default
          triggering  Lender's  exercise of remedies;  provided,  however,  that
          Borrower shall not have liability under this  subparagraph  (D) to the
          extent  Operating   Revenues  generated  during  the  12-month  period
          immediately   preceding  the   occurrence  of  the  Event  of  Default
          triggering Lender's exercise of remedies were not sufficient to pay in
          full all such  amounts and all  Operating  Revenues so received by any
          Borrower  Party were applied to pay such amounts to the full extent of
          Operating Revenues so received;

               (E) The  misappropriation  of any Net  Proceeds  or  condemnation
          awards by any Borrower Party;

               (F) The failure of any Borrower  Party to (x) properly  apply any
          and all security  deposits  held by any Borrower  Party,  (y) properly
          return same to Tenants when due, or (z) deliver  security  deposits to
          Lender, any receiver or any Person purchasing any Property or any part
          thereof at a foreclosure sale or upon the taking of possession of such
          Property or any part  thereof by Lender,  such  receiver or such other
          Person; provided,  however, that Borrower shall not have the liability
          under this  subparagraph (F) if the required  activity under (z) above
          is  limited or  prohibited  by  applicable  Legal  Requirements  or if
          Borrower is operating under the express written direction of Lender;

                                       49


               (G) Intentional  removal or destruction of property  (without the
          concurrent  replacement  thereof with property of at least  equivalent
          value  and  utility)   constituting   any  material   portion  of  the
          Collateral, or any other intentional and material waste of any portion
          of the Collateral, by any Borrower Party;

               (H) Any Borrower Party contesting or in any way interfering with,
          directly or indirectly,  any foreclosure  action,  Uniform  Commercial
          Code sale and/or deed in lieu of foreclosure  transaction commenced by
          Lender or with any other  enforcement  of  Lender's  rights,  power or
          remedies  under  any of the Loan  Documents  (whether  by  making  any
          motion, bringing any counterclaim,  claiming any defense,  seeking any
          injunction or other restraint,  commencing any action or otherwise) in
          connection  with  Lender's  rights  arising  from an Event of Default;
          provided,  however,  that  if any  Borrower  Party  obtains  a  final,
          non-appealable order successfully contesting the exercise by Lender of
          a right or remedy,  then Borrower shall not have liability  under this
          subparagraph (H);

               (I) Any Borrower Party (i) filing a voluntary  petition under the
          Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency
          law, or (ii) making an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

               (J) Any Borrower  Party (i) filing,  or joining in the filing of,
          an  involuntary  petition  against any other  Borrower Party under the
          Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency
          law,  or  (ii)  soliciting  or  causing  to be  solicited  petitioning
          creditors  for any  involuntary  petition  against any other  Borrower
          Party,   or  (iii)  filing  an  answer   consenting  to  or  otherwise
          acquiescing  in or joining in any  involuntary  petition filed against
          any other Borrower Party by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code
          or any other Federal or state  bankruptcy  or insolvency  law, or (iv)
          voting  adversely  to Lender's  interest in any  proceeding  under the
          Bankruptcy Code or any other state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency
          law  which   involves  any  Borrower  Party  or  any  portion  of  the
          Collateral,  or (v)  consenting  to or  acquiescing  or  joining in an
          application for the appointment of a custodian,  receiver,  trustee or
          examiner  for any  Borrower  Party or any  portion  of the  Collateral
          (unless such action is at the written request of Lender).

     Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if Borrower  and any  necessary  Borrower
Parties consent, pursuant to a stipulation in form reasonably required by Lender
(to be executed by Borrower and any necessary  Borrower Parties and delivered to
Lender  within  five (5)  Business  Days  following  Lender's  request),  to the
appointment of a receiver for any Property identified by Lender (the identity of
such receiver to be designated by Lender and approved by Borrower Parties,  such
approval  not to be  unreasonably  withheld),  and no  Borrower  Party  seeks or
participates  in the removal of said  receiver  (absent a material  violation by
said receiver of the order  appointing the receiver,  in which case a substitute
receiver  designated by Lender and approved by Borrower  Parties,  such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld, will be appointed) then Borrower shall not have
liability under this  Subsection  (b)(ii) solely as a result of any reduction in
value of such Property or any other Collateral  during the period that Lender is
pursuing  its  rights  and  remedies  as a result  of an Event of  Default.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or
any of the other Loan  Documents:  (i) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived
any right which Lender may have under  Section  506(a),  506(b),  1111(b) or any
other  provisions of the Bankruptcy  Code to file a claim for the full amount of
the  Obligations or to require that all Collateral  shall continue to secure all
of the Obligations  owing to Lender in accordance  with the Loan Documents;  and
(ii) the  Obligations  shall be fully  recourse  to  Borrower  in the  event any
Transfer  occurs in violation of Section 7.1 (including the voluntary  placement
of a Lien on all or any  portion  of the  Collateral  in  violation  of the Loan
Documents).

unto Trustee.

                                   ARTICLE 3.

                    WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS

     SECTION 3.1. TITLE TO COLLATERAL AND LIEN OF THIS INSTRUMENT.  Grantor owns

Permitted  Encumbrances.  This Deed of Trust creates  valid,  enforceable  first
priority liens and security interests against the Collateral.

     SECTION 3.2.  FIRST LIEN  STATUS.  Grantor  shall  preserve and protect the
first priority lien and security  interest  status of this Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents.  If any lien or security interest other than the Permitted
Encumbrances is asserted against the Collateral,  Grantor shall promptly, and at
its expense, give Beneficiary a detailed written notice of such lien or security
interest (including origin, amount and such other information as Beneficiary may
request),  and shall  either (i) pay the  underlying  claim in full or take such
other  action  so as to cause it to be  released,  or (ii)  contest  the same in
compliance  with  the   requirements  of  the  Loan  Agreement   (including  the
requirement of providing a bond or other security satisfactory to Beneficiary).

                                       3


     SECTION 3.3.  PAYMENT AND  PERFORMANCE.  Grantor  shall pay and perform the
Obligations  in full when they are  required  to be  performed.  Grantor  hereby
irrevocably  authorizes  Beneficiary  to apply any and all  amounts  received by
Beneficiary  in  repayment  of  amounts  due under the Loan  Documents  first to
amounts which are not guaranteed  pursuant to the terms of any guaranty and then
to amounts which are guaranteed  pursuant to the terms of any guaranty.  Grantor
hereby  waives any and all rights it has or may have under  Section  2822 of the
California  Civil Code which provides that if a guarantor is "liable upon only a
portion of an obligation and the principal provides partial  satisfaction of the
obligation, the principal may designate the portion of the obligation that is to
be satisfied."

     SECTION 3.4.  REPLACEMENT OF FIXTURES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY.  Grantor shall
not,  without the prior written consent of Beneficiary  (which may be granted or
withheld  in  Beneficiary's  sole and  absolute  discretion),  permit any of the
Fixtures  or  Personal  Property  to be  removed  at any  time  from the Land or
Improvements, unless the removed item is removed temporarily for maintenance and
repair or, if removed permanently,  is obsolete and is replaced by an article of
equal or better suitability and value, owned by Grantor subject to the liens and
security interests of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents,  and free
and clear of any other lien or  security  interest  except  such as may be first
approved in writing by Beneficiary prior to acquisition by Grantor.

     SECTION 3.5. MAINTENANCE OF RIGHTS OF WAY, EASEMENTS AND LICENSES.  Grantor
shall  maintain  all rights of way,  easements,  grants,  privileges,  licenses,
certificates, permits, entitlements, and franchises necessary for the use of the
Collateral and will not, without the prior consent of Beneficiary  (which may be
granted or withheld in Beneficiary's sole and absolute  discretion),  consent to
any public restriction  (including any zoning ordinance) or private  restriction
as to the use of the  Collateral.  Grantor  shall  comply  with all  restrictive
covenants affecting the Collateral, and all Legal Requirements, including zoning
ordinances,  environmental  laws and other public or private  restrictions as to
the use of the Collateral.

     SECTION 3.6.  INSPECTION.  Grantor shall permit Beneficiary and/or Trustee,
and their agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior notice to
Grantor,   to  inspect  the  Collateral  and  conduct  such   environmental  and
engineering  studies as Beneficiary may require,  provided that such inspections
and studies  shall not  materially  interfere  with the use and operation of the
Collateral.  The costs relating to such activities  shall be paid by Beneficiary
unless (i) Beneficiary has a good faith basis for suspecting that Grantor is not
in material compliance with its warranties, covenants and agreements relating to
the physical  condition of the Collateral and/or compliance with laws (including
environmental laws), (ii) the examination of such books and records reveals that
financial information submitted to Beneficiary by Grantor or anyone on behalf of
Grantor is  materially  inaccurate,  or (iii) an Event of Default  exists (or is
discovered  as a result of any such  inspection  or  review),  in which case the
reasonable  third party fees and expenses  relating to such activities  shall be
paid by Grantor within the Demand Period.

     SECTION 3.7.  OTHER  COVENANTS.  All of the covenants in the Loan Agreement
are  incorporated  herein by  reference  and,  together  with  covenants in this
Article 3 shall be covenants running with the Property.  The covenants set forth
in the Loan  Agreement  include,  among other  provisions:  (a) the  prohibition
against the further sale, transfer or encumbering of any of the Collateral,  (b)
the obligation to pay when due all taxes on the  Collateral or assessed  against
Beneficiary  with respect to the Loan,  (c) the right of  Beneficiary to inspect
the Collateral,  (d) the obligation to keep the Collateral insured in accordance
with  the  Loan  Agreement,   (e)  the  obligation  to  comply  with  all  legal
requirements (including  environmental laws), (f) the obligation to maintain the
Collateral in good condition,  and promptly  repair any damage or casualty,  and
(g) except as otherwise  permitted under the Loan  Agreement,  the obligation of
Grantor  to  obtain  Beneficiary's  written  consent  prior  to  entering  into,
modifying or taking other actions with respect to Leases.

     SECTION 3.8. CONDEMNATION AWARDS AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS.

     (a)  CONDEMNATION  AWARDS.  Grantor  assigns to Beneficiary  all awards and
compensation  for any  condemnation  or other  taking,  or any  purchase in lieu
thereof,  and  authorizes  Beneficiary  to collect and  receive  such awards and
compensation and to give proper receipts and acquittances  therefor,  subject to
the terms of the Loan Agreement.

4


     (b) INSURANCE PROCEEDS.  Grantor assigns to Beneficiary all proceeds of any
insurance  policies  insuring against loss or damage to the Collateral.  Grantor
authorizes  Beneficiary  to collect and receive  such  proceeds,  to give proper
receipts and  acquittances  therefor,  and  authorizes and directs the issuer of
each of such insurance  policies to make payment for all such losses directly to
Beneficiary, instead of to Grantor and Beneficiary jointly, subject to the terms
of the Loan Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 4.

                             DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE

     SECTION 4.1. REMEDIES.  If an Event of Default exists,  Beneficiary may, at
Beneficiary's  election and by or through Trustee or otherwise,  exercise any or
all of the following rights, remedies and recourses:

     (a)  ACCELERATION.  Declare  the  Obligations  to be  immediately  due  and
payable,  without  further  notice,  presentment,  protest,  notice of intent to
accelerate,  notice of acceleration,  demand or action of any nature  whatsoever
(each of which hereby is expressly waived by Grantor),  whereupon the same shall
become  immediately due and payable and,  immediately  upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default,  interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of
the Note at the Default Rate.

     (b) ENTRY ON COLLATERAL. Enter the Collateral and take exclusive possession
thereof and of all books,  records and  accounts  relating  thereto.  If Grantor
remains in  possession of the  Collateral  after an Event of Default and without
Beneficiary's  written consent (to be issued or withheld in  Beneficiary's  sole
and  absolute  discretion),   Beneficiary  may  invoke  any  legal  remedies  to
dispossess Grantor.

     (c) OPERATION OF  COLLATERAL.  Hold,  lease,  develop,  manage,  operate or
otherwise use the Collateral  upon such terms and conditions as Beneficiary  may
deem  reasonable  under  the  circumstances   (including  making  such  repairs,
alterations,  additions and improvements and taking other actions,  from time to
time, as  Beneficiary  deems  necessary or  desirable),  and apply all Rents and
other amounts collected by Beneficiary or, as applicable,  Trustee in connection
therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7.

     (d) FORECLOSURE AND SALE. To the greatest extent  permitted by law, sell or
offer for sale the Collateral in such portions, order and parcels as Beneficiary
may  determine,  with or without  having first taken  possession of same, to the
highest bidder for cash at public auction. Such sale shall be made in accordance
with the laws of the State of California  relating to the sale of real estate or
by Article 9 of the UCC relating to the sale of  collateral  after  default by a
debtor (as such laws now exist or may be hereafter amended or succeeded),  or by
any other present or subsequent  articles or enactments  relating to same.  With
respect to any notices  required or permitted under the UCC, Grantor agrees that
five (5) days' prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable.  At
any such sale (i) whether  made under the power herein  contained,  the UCC, any
other legal  requirement  or by virtue of any judicial  proceedings or any other
legal  right,  remedy or recourse,  it shall not be necessary  for Trustee to be
physically  present  at or to have  constructive  possession  of the  Collateral
(Grantor  shall deliver to Trustee any portion of the Collateral not actually or
constructively possessed by Trustee immediately upon demand by Trustee), and the
title  to and  right  of  possession  of any  such  property  shall  pass to the
purchaser  thereof as  completely  as if Trustee had been  actually  present and
delivered to purchaser at such sale, (ii) each instrument of conveyance executed
by Trustee shall contain a general warranty of title binding upon Grantor, (iii)
each recital  contained in any  instrument of  conveyance  made by Trustee shall
conclusively  establish the truth and accuracy of the matters  recited  therein,
including nonpayment of the Obligations,  advertisement and conduct of such sale
in the manner  provided  herein and  otherwise  by law, and  appointment  of any
successor Trustee hereunder, (iv) any prerequisites to the validity of such sale
shall be  conclusively  presumed  to have been  performed,  (v) the  receipt  of
Trustee or other party  making the sale shall be a  sufficient  discharge to the
purchaser or purchasers for its or their purchase money and no such purchaser or
purchasers,  or  its  or  their  assigns  or  personal  representatives,   shall
thereafter be obligated to see to the  application  of such purchase money or be
in any way answerable for any loss,  misapplication or  nonapplication  thereof,
and (vi) to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be completely and
irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity
of redemption, and demand whatsoever,  either at law or in equity, in and to the
property  sold and such sale shall be a perpetual  bar both at law and in equity
against Grantor, and against all other persons claiming or to claim the property
sold or any part thereof,  by,  through or under Grantor.  Beneficiary

                                       5


may be a purchaser at such sale and if  Beneficiary is the highest  bidder,  may
credit  the  portion  of  the  purchase  price  that  would  be  distributed  to
Beneficiary  against the Obligations in lieu of paying cash. Any proceeds of any
such sale or  disposition  shall not cure any Event of Default or reinstate  any
Obligation for purposes of 2924c of the California Civil Code.

     (e) RECEIVER.  Make application to a court of competent  jurisdiction  for,
and obtain  from such court as a matter of strict  right and  without  notice to
Grantor or regard to the  adequacy of the  Collateral  for the  repayment of the
Obligations,  the  appointment  of a receiver  of the  Collateral,  and  Grantor
irrevocably  consents to such appointment.  Any such receiver shall have all the
usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases,  including the full power
to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Collateral upon such terms as may be
approved  by the  court,  and shall  apply  such  Rents in  accordance  with the
provisions of Section 4.7.

     (f) OTHER. Exercise all other rights,  remedies and recourses granted under
the Loan  Documents or otherwise  available  at law or in equity  (including  an
action for specific performance of any covenant contained in the Loan Documents,
or a judgment  on the Note  either  before,  during or after any  proceeding  to
enforce this Deed of Trust).

     SECTION 4.2.  SEPARATE  SALES.  The  Collateral  may be sold in one or more
parcels  and in such  manner  and  order as  Trustee,  in its sole and  absolute
discretion, may elect; and the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default
shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

     SECTION 4.3. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE, CONCURRENT AND NONEXCLUSIVE.  Beneficiary
shall have all rights,  remedies and recourses granted hereunder and in the Loan
Documents and available at law or equity  (including the UCC),  which rights (a)
shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately,  successively
or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Note and the other
Loan Documents,  or against the Collateral,  or against any one or more of them,
at the sole discretion of Beneficiary, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion
therefor shall arise,  and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall
not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or
recourse,  and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.  No action by
Beneficiary or Trustee in the  enforcement of any rights,  remedies or recourses
hereunder,  under the Loan  Documents  or  otherwise  at law or equity  shall be
deemed to cure any Event of Default.  To the extent  permitted  by law,  Grantor
hereby waives and releases all procedural  errors,  defects and imperfections in
any  proceedings  instituted by Trustee or  Beneficiary  under the terms of this
Deed of Trust, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 4.4. RELEASE OF AND RESORT TO COLLATERAL.  Beneficiary may release,
regardless  of  consideration  and  without the  necessity  for any notice to or
consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Collateral, any part of the
Collateral  without,  as to the  remainder,  in any  way  impairing,  affecting,
subordinating  or  releasing  the  lien  or  security  interests  created  in or
evidenced by the Loan  Documents or their  stature as a first and prior lien and
security  interest in and to the  Collateral.  For  payment of the  Obligations,
Beneficiary  may  resort  to any other  security  in such  order  and  manner as
Beneficiary may elect.

     SECTION 4.5. WAIVER OF REDEMPTION, NOTICE AND MARSHALLING OF ASSETS. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and  unconditionally
waives and  releases  (a) all benefit  that might accrue to Grantor by virtue of
any  present  or future  statute  of  limitations  or law or  judicial  decision
exempting the Collateral from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing
for  any  appraisement,  valuation,  stay of  execution,  exemption  from  civil
process,  redemption  or extension  of time for payment,  (b) all notices of any
Event of Default or of Beneficiary's  or, as applicable,  Trustee's  election to
exercise or its actual  exercise of any right,  remedy or recourse  provided for
under  the  Loan  Documents  or at law or in  equity,  and  (c) any  right  to a
marshalling of assets  (including any rights  provided by California  Civil Code
Sections 2899 and 3433) or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

     SECTION 4.6.  DISCONTINUANCE  OF  PROCEEDINGS.  If  Beneficiary  shall have
proceeded  to invoke  any right,  remedy or  recourse  permitted  under the Loan
Documents  and shall  thereafter  elect to  discontinue  or  abandon  it for any
reason,  Beneficiary  shall have the unqualified  right to do so and, in such an
event,  Grantor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with
respect to the  Obligations,  the Loan Documents,  the Collateral and otherwise,
and the rights, remedies,  recourses and powers of Beneficiary shall continue as
if  the  right,

                                       6


remedy or  recourse  had  never  been  invoked,  but no such  discontinuance  or
abandonment  shall waive any Event of Default  which may then exist or the right
of  Beneficiary  thereafter to exercise any right,  remedy or recourse under the
Loan Documents for such Event of Default.

     SECTION 4.7. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.  The proceeds of any sale of, and the
Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, operating,  insuring, leasing,
management,  operation  or other  use of the  Collateral,  shall be  applied  by
Beneficiary  or Trustee (or the receiver,  if one is appointed) in the following
order unless otherwise required by applicable law:

     (a) to the payment of the costs and  expenses of taking  possession  of the
Collateral and of holding, using, leasing, repairing,  improving and selling the
same, including (1) trustee's and receiver's fees and expenses, (2) court costs,
(3) attorneys' and accountants'  fees and expenses,  (4) costs of advertisement,
and (5) the  payment of all ground  rent,  real  estate  taxes and  assessments,
except any taxes, assessments,  or other charges subject to which the Collateral
shall have been sold;

     (b) to the payment of all amounts (including interest at the Default Rate),
other  than the unpaid  principal  balance  of the Note and  accrued  but unpaid
interest, which may be due to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents;

     (c) to the payment and  performance of the remainder of the  Obligations in
such manner and order of preference as  Beneficiary  in its sole  discretion may
determine; and

     (d) the  balance,  if any, to the payment of the persons  legally  entitled
thereto.

     SECTION  4.8.  OCCUPANCY  AFTER  FORECLOSURE.  The  purchaser  at any  sale
pursuant to Section 4.1(d) shall become the legal owner of the  Collateral.  All
occupants  of the  Collateral  shall,  at the option of such  purchaser,  become
tenants  of the  purchaser  at the sale and  shall  deliver  possession  thereof
immediately  to the  purchaser  upon demand.  It shall not be necessary  for the
purchaser  at said sale to bring any action  for  possession  of the  Collateral
other  than the  statutory  action of  forcible  detainer  in any  court  having
jurisdiction over the Collateral.

     SECTION 4.9. ADDITIONAL ADVANCES AND DISBURSEMENTS; COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT.

     (a) If Grantor shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform
any act required by the Loan Documents and such failure  constitutes an Event of
Default,  then without notice to or demand upon Grantor or any other Person, and
without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Beneficiary may
have  because  of such  Event of  Default,  Beneficiary  may (but  shall  not be
obligated  to) make such  payment or perform  such act for the account of and at
the  expense  of  Grantor,  provided  that any such  action  by or on  behalf of
Beneficiary  of such  non-performance  or breach shall not be deemed to cure any
such Event of Default.  All sums  advanced and expenses  incurred at any time by
Beneficiary under this Section 4.9, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any
of the other Loan  Documents  or  applicable  law,  shall be payable  within the
Demand Period,  and shall bear interest from the expiration of the Demand Period
to and including the date of  reimbursement,  computed at the Default Rate,  and
all such sums, together with interest thereon,  shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.

     (b) Prior to the expiration of the applicable Demand Period,  Grantor shall
pay, or at  Beneficiary's  option,  reimburse  Beneficiary  and Trustee for, all
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of or incidental to
the  perfection  and  enforcement  of this  Deed of  Trust  and the  other  Loan
Documents,  or the  enforcement,  compromise or settlement of the Obligations or
any  claim  under  this  Deed of Trust  and the  other  Loan  Documents,  or for
defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary in respect  thereof,
by litigation or otherwise.  Such  expenses  shall include  reasonable  expenses
(including  the reasonable  fees and expenses of legal counsel for  Beneficiary)
incurred  in  connection   with  (i)  the   preservation   and   enforcement  of
Beneficiary's  liens and security  interests under this Deed of Trust,  (ii) the
protection,  exercise or enforcement of Beneficiary's rights with respect to the
Property including Beneficiary's rights to (1) collect or take possession of the
Property  and the  proceeds  thereof,  (2) hold the  Property,  (3)  prepare the
Property for sale or other  disposition and (4) sell or otherwise dispose of the
Property,  and (iii) the  assertion,  protection,  exercise  or  enforcement  of
Beneficiary's  rights in any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code,
including the  preparation,  filing and prosecution of (1) proofs

                                       7


of claim,  (2)  motions  for relief  from the  automatic  stay,  (3) motions for
adequate  protection,  and  (4)  complaints,  answers  and  other  pleadings  in
adversary  proceedings  by or against  Beneficiary or relating in any way to the
Property.  The duties and  obligations of Beneficiary  under this Section 4.9(b)
are in addition  to, and not in lieu of,  Beneficiary's  duties and  obligations
under Section 9.5 of the Loan Agreement.

     SECTION 4.10. NO MORTGAGEE-IN-POSSESSION. Neither the enforcement of any of
the remedies  under this Article 4, the assignment of the Leases and Rents under
Article  5, the  security  interests  under  Article  6, nor any other  remedies
afforded to  Beneficiary  under the Loan  Documents,  at law or in equity  shall
cause   Beneficiary   or   Trustee   to  be   deemed  or   construed   to  be  a
mortgagee-in-possession of the Collateral, to obligate Beneficiary or Trustee to
lease the  Collateral  or  attempt  to do so, or to take any  action,  incur any
expense,  or perform or discharge any obligation,  duty or liability  whatsoever
under any of the Leases or otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE 5.

                         ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS

     SECTION 5.1.  ASSIGNMENT.  Grantor  acknowledges  and confirms  that it has
executed and delivered to  Beneficiary an Assignment of Leases and Rents of even
date (the  "Assignment  of Leases and Rents"),  intending  that such  instrument
create a present, absolute assignment to Beneficiary of, among other things, the
Leases,  Lease Guaranties and Rents.  Without limiting the intended  benefits or
the remedies  provided under the Assignment of Leases and Rents,  Grantor hereby
assigns to Beneficiary,  as further  security for the  Obligations,  the Leases,
Lease  Guaranties  and  Rents.  Upon the  occurrence  of any  Event of  Default,
Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise any or all of the remedies provided in
the Assignment of Leases and Rents and in Article 4 hereof,  including the right
to have a receiver  appointed.  If any conflict or inconsistency  exists between
the assignment of Leases,  Lease  Guaranties and Rents in this Deed of Trust and
the absolute assignment of Leases,  Lease Guaranties and Rents in the Assignment
of Leases  and Rents,  the terms of the  Assignment  of Leases  and Rents  shall
control.

     SECTION 5.2. NO MERGER OF ESTATES.  So long as any part of the  Obligations
remain unpaid and undischarged,  the fee and leasehold estates to the Collateral
shall not merge,  but shall remain  separate and distinct,  notwithstanding  the
union of such estates  either in Grantor,  Beneficiary,  any lessee or any third
party by purchase or otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE 6.

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

     SECTION  6.1.  SECURITY  AGREEMENT.  This Deed of Trust shall  constitute a
security  agreement under Article 9 of the UCC in each  applicable  jurisdiction
with respect to the Personal Property,  which shall be deemed to include any and
all fixtures and personal  property  included in the description of the Personal
Property,  now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor,  which might otherwise be
deemed "personal  property" and all accessions thereto and the proceeds thereof.
Grantor has granted and does hereby grant Beneficiary a security interest in the
Personal  Property and in all additions  and  accessions  thereto,  renewals and
replacements thereof and all substitutions therefor and proceeds thereof for the
purpose of securing all  Obligations  now or  hereafter  secured by this Deed of
Trust. The following provisions relate to such security interest:

     (a) The Personal Property  includes all now existing or hereafter  acquired
or  arising  equipment,   inventory,   accounts,   chattel  paper,  instruments,
documents,  deposit  accounts,  investment  property,  letter-of-credit  rights,
commercial tort claims,  supporting  obligations and general  intangibles now or
hereafter  used or procured for use in the  Collateral or otherwise  relating to
the  Collateral.  If Grantor  shall at any time acquire a commercial  tort claim
relating to the  Collateral,  Grantor shall  promptly  notify  Beneficiary  in a
writing signed by Grantor of the brief details  thereof and grant to Beneficiary
a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof.

     (b) Grantor hereby irrevocably  authorizes Beneficiary at any time and from
time to time to file in any filing  office in any UCC  jurisdiction  any initial
financing  statements and amendments thereto that (a)

                                       8


indicate  the  collateral  as "all assets used or procured  for use or otherwise
relating to" the Collateral or words of similar effect,  or as being of equal or
lesser scope or in greater detail, and to indicate the Collateral as defined, or
in a manner  consistent with the term as defined,  in this Deed of Trust and (b)
contain any other information  required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of any
such  filing  office for the  sufficiency  or filing  office  acceptance  of any
initial  financing  statement  or  amendment,  including  whether  Grantor is an
organization,  the type of organization  and any  organizational  identification
number  issued to Grantor.  Grantor  agrees to provide any such  information  to
Beneficiary  promptly upon request.  Grantor also ratifies its authorization for
Beneficiary to have filed in any filing office in any UCC  jurisdiction any like
initial  financing  statements or amendments  thereto if filed prior to the date
hereof.  Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary,  from time to time, within the Demand
Period,  any and all costs and expenses  incurred by  Beneficiary  in connection
with the  filing  of any  such  initial  financing  statements  and  amendments,
including  attorneys' fees and all disbursements.  Such costs and expenses shall
bear interest at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until
the date  repaid by Grantor,  and such costs and  expenses,  together  with such
interest,  shall be part of the Obligations and shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.

     (c)  Grantor  shall  any time  and from  time to time  take  such  steps as
Beneficiary may reasonably  request for  Beneficiary to obtain  "control" of any
Personal  Property  for which  control  is a  permitted  or  required  method to
perfect,  or to insure  priority  of, the  security  interest  in such  Personal
Property granted herein.

     (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,  Beneficiary shall have the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as well as all other rights
and remedies available at law or in equity or under this Deed of Trust.

     (e) It is intended by Grantor  and  Beneficiary  that this Deed of Trust be
effective as a financing statement filed with the applicable real estate records
as a fixture  filing  covering the  Collateral.  A description of the Land which
relates to the  Personal  Property  is set forth in  Exhibit A attached  hereto.
Grantor  is the  record  owner  of  the  Land.  Grantor  is a  Delaware  limited
partnership  with  an  organizational   identification  number,  issued  by  the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, of 2500587.

     (f) Terms  defined  in the UCC and not  otherwise  defined  in this Deed of
Trust shall have the same  meanings in this Article as are set forth in the UCC.
In the event  that a term is used in  Article  9 of the UCC and also in  another
Article of the UCC, the term used in this Article is that used in Article 9. The
term  "control,"  as used in this  Article,  has the  meaning  given in Sections
9-104, 9-105, 9-106 or 9-107 of Article 9, as applicable.

                                   ARTICLE 7.

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 7.1.  CERTAIN  RIGHTS.  With the approval of  Beneficiary,  Trustee
shall have the right to select,  employ and consult with legal counsel.  Trustee
shall  have  the  right  to  rely  on  any  instrument,  document  or  signature
authorizing  or  supporting  any action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee
hereunder,  believed  by Trustee in good faith to be genuine.  Trustee  shall be
entitled to reimbursement for actual, reasonable expenses incurred by Trustee in
the performance of Trustee's  duties.  Grantor shall, from time to time, pay the
compensation due to Trustee  hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and indemnify,
defend and save Trustee harmless against,  all liability and reasonable expenses
which may be  incurred  by  Trustee  in the  performance  of  Trustee's  duties,
including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of
Trustee;  however, Grantor shall not be liable under such indemnification to the
extent such liability or expenses result solely from Trustee's gross  negligence
or willful misconduct  hereunder.  Grantor's  obligations under this Section 7.1
shall not be reduced or impaired by principles of  comparative  or  contributory
negligence.

     SECTION 7.2.  RETENTION  OF MONEY.  All moneys  received by Trustee  shall,
until used or applied as herein provided,  be held in trust for the purposes for
which they were  received,  but need not be  segregated  in any manner  from any
other moneys (except to the extent  required by law), and Trustee shall be under
no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder.

                                       9


     SECTION 7.3. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEES.  If Trustee or any successor Trustee shall
die, resign or become  disqualified  from acting in the execution of this trust,
or Beneficiary shall desire to appoint a substitute  Trustee,  Beneficiary shall
have full power to appoint one or more  substitute  Trustees  and, if preferred,
several substitute  Trustees in succession who shall succeed to all the estates,
rights,  powers and duties of Trustee.  Such  appointment may be executed by any
authorized agent of Beneficiary,  and as so executed,  such appointment shall be
conclusively  presumed  to be executed  with  authority,  valid and  sufficient,
without further proof of any action.

     SECTION 7.4.  PERFECTION  OF  APPOINTMENT.  Should any deed,  conveyance or
instrument of any nature be required  from Grantor by any  successor  Trustee to
more fully and  certainly  vest in and confirm to such  successor  Trustee  such
estates, rights, powers and duties, then, upon request by such Trustee, all such
deeds,  conveyances and instruments  shall be made,  executed,  acknowledged and
delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor.

     SECTION 7.5. TRUSTEE  LIABILITY.  In no event or circumstance shall Trustee
or any substitute Trustee hereunder be personally liable under or as a result of
this  Deed of  Trust,  either  as a result  of any  action  by  Trustee  (or any
substitute Trustee) in the exercise of the powers hereby granted or otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE 8.

"Grantor"  shall refer to the party named in the first paragraph of this Deed of
Trust and to any subsequent owner of all or any portion of the Property (without
in any way implying that  Beneficiary has or will consent to any such conveyance
or transfer of the Property). All persons or entities who may have or acquire an
interest in the Property shall be deemed to have notice of, and be bound by, the

of a deed pursuant to the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the delivery of a
deed  in  lieu  of  foreclosure,  to  execute  all  instruments  of  assignment,

necessary or desirable  for such  purpose,  (c) to prepare,  execute and file or
record  financing   statements,   continuation   statements,   applications  for
registration  and  like  papers   necessary  to  create,   perfect  or  preserve
Beneficiary's security interests and rights in or to any of the Collateral,  and

in the  Obligations  and  shall  bear  interest  at the  Default  Rate  from the
expiration  of  the  applicable  Demand  Period  until  paid  by  Grantor;   (3)
Beneficiary as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as

upon and inure to the  benefit of  Beneficiary,  Trustee  and  Grantor and their
respective  successors and assigns  provided that Grantor shall not, without the
prior  written  consent of  Beneficiary  (which may be  granted or  withheld  in
Beneficiary's  sole and  absolute  discretion),  assign  any  rights,  duties or
obligations hereunder.

     SECTION  8.5. NO WAIVER.  Any failure by Trustee or  Beneficiary  to insist
upon strict  performance  of any of the terms,  provisions  or conditions of the
Loan  Documents  shall  not be deemed to be a waiver  of same,  and  Trustee  or
Beneficiary  shall have the right at any time to insist upon strict  performance
of all of such terms, provisions and conditions.

     SECTION 8.6. SUBROGATION. To the extent proceeds of the Note have been used
to extinguish,  extend or renew any  indebtedness  against the Collateral,  then
Beneficiary  shall be  subrogated  to all of the  rights,  liens  and  interests
existing against the Collateral and held by the holder of such  indebtedness and
such  former  rights,  liens and  interests,  if any,  are not  waived,  but are
continued in full force and effect in favor of Beneficiary.

between  this Deed of Trust and the Loan  Agreement,  the Loan  Agreement  shall

to the full  extent  that it may  lawfully  do so,  that it will not at any time
insist  upon  or  plead  or in any  way  take  advantage  of  any  appraisement,
valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension,  redemption or moratorium law
now or hereafter in force and effect so as to prevent or hinder the  enforcement

any  agreement  between  Grantor  and  Beneficiary  or any rights or remedies of
Beneficiary.

laws of the State of California.

     SECTION 8.13. HEADINGS.  The Article,  Section and Subsection titles hereof

     SECTION 11.1. TITLE TO COLLATERAL AND LIEN OF THIS INSTRUMENT. Grantor owns

Permitted  Encumbrances.  This Deed of Trust creates  valid,  enforceable  first
priority liens and security interests against the Collateral.

     SECTION 11.2.  FIRST LIEN STATUS.  Grantor  shall  preserve and protect the
first priority lien and security  interest  status of this Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents.  If any lien or security interest other than the Permitted
Encumbrances is asserted against the Collateral,  Grantor shall promptly, and at
its expense, give Beneficiary a detailed written notice of such lien or security
interest (including origin, amount and such other information as Beneficiary may
request),  and shall  either (i) pay the  underlying  claim in full or take such
other  action  so as to cause it to be  released,  or (ii)  contest  the same in
compliance  with  the   requirements  of  the  Loan  Agreement   (including  the
requirement of providing a bond or other security satisfactory to Beneficiary).

                                       3



     SECTION 11.3.  PAYMENT AND  PERFORMANCE.  Grantor shall pay and perform the
Obligations  in full when they are  required  to be  performed.  Grantor  hereby
irrevocably  authorizes  Beneficiary  to apply any and all  amounts  received by
Beneficiary  in  repayment  of  amounts  due under the Loan  Documents  first to
amounts which are not guaranteed  pursuant to the terms of any guaranty and then
to amounts which are guaranteed  pursuant to the terms of any guaranty.  Grantor
hereby  waives any and all rights it has or may have under  Section  2822 of the
California  Civil Code which provides that if a guarantor is "liable upon only a
portion of an obligation and the principal provides partial  satisfaction of the
obligation, the principal may designate the portion of the obligation that is to
be satisfied."

     SECTION 11.4. REPLACEMENT OF FIXTURES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY.  Grantor shall
not,  without the prior written consent of Beneficiary  (which may be granted or
withheld  in  Beneficiary's  sole and  absolute  discretion),  permit any of the
Fixtures  or  Personal  Property  to be  removed  at any  time  from the Land or
Improvements, unless the removed item is removed temporarily for maintenance and
repair or, if removed permanently,  is obsolete and is replaced by an article of
equal or better suitability and value, owned by Grantor subject to the liens and
security interests of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents,  and free
and clear of any other lien or  security  interest  except  such as may be first
approved in writing by Beneficiary prior to acquisition by Grantor.

     SECTION 11.5. MAINTENANCE OF RIGHTS OF WAY, EASEMENTS AND LICENSES. Grantor
shall  maintain  all rights of way,  easements,  grants,  privileges,  licenses,
certificates, permits, entitlements, and franchises necessary for the use of the
Collateral and will not, without the prior consent of Beneficiary  (which may be
granted or withheld in Beneficiary's sole and absolute  discretion),  consent to
any public restriction  (including any zoning ordinance) or private  restriction
as to the use of the  Collateral.  Grantor  shall  comply  with all  restrictive
covenants affecting the Collateral, and all Legal Requirements, including zoning
ordinances,  environmental  laws and other public or private  restrictions as to
the use of the Collateral.

     SECTION 11.6. INSPECTION.  Grantor shall permit Beneficiary and/or Trustee,
and their agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior notice to
Grantor,   to  inspect  the  Collateral  and  conduct  such   environmental  and
engineering  studies as Beneficiary may require,  provided that such inspections
and studies  shall not  materially  interfere  with the use and operation of the
Collateral.  The costs relating to such activities  shall be paid by Beneficiary
unless (i) Beneficiary has a good faith basis for suspecting that Grantor is not
in material compliance with its warranties, covenants and agreements relating to
the physical  condition of the Collateral and/or compliance with laws (including
environmental laws), (ii) the examination of such books and records reveals that
financial information submitted to Beneficiary by Grantor or anyone on behalf of
Grantor is  materially  inaccurate,  or (iii) an Event of Default  exists (or is
discovered  as a result of any such  inspection  or  review),  in which case the
reasonable  third party fees and expenses  relating to such activities  shall be
paid by Grantor within the Demand Period.

     SECTION 11.7. OTHER  COVENANTS.  All of the covenants in the Loan Agreement
are  incorporated  herein by  reference  and,  together  with  covenants in this
Article 3 shall be covenants running with the Property.  The covenants set forth
in the Loan  Agreement  include,  among other  provisions:  (a) the  prohibition
against the further sale, transfer or encumbering of any of the Collateral,  (b)
the obligation to pay when due all taxes on the  Collateral or assessed  against
Beneficiary  with respect to the Loan,  (c) the right of  Beneficiary to inspect
the Collateral,  (d) the obligation to keep the Collateral insured in accordance
with  the  Loan  Agreement,   (e)  the  obligation  to  comply  with  all  legal
requirements (including  environmental laws), (f) the obligation to maintain the
Collateral in good condition,  and promptly  repair any damage or casualty,  and
(g) except as otherwise  permitted under the Loan  Agreement,  the obligation of
Grantor  to  obtain  Beneficiary's  written  consent  prior  to  entering  into,
modifying or taking other actions with respect to Leases.

     SECTION 11.8. CONDEMNATION AWARDS AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS.

     (a)  CONDEMNATION  AWARDS.  Grantor  assigns to Beneficiary  all awards and
compensation  for any  condemnation  or other  taking,  or any  purchase in lieu
thereof,  and  authorizes  Beneficiary  to collect and  receive  such awards and
compensation and to give proper receipts and acquittances  therefor,  subject to
the terms of the Loan Agreement.

                                       4


(b) INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Grantor assigns to Beneficiary all proceeds of any
insurance policies insuring against loss or damage to the Collateral. Grantor
authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive such proceeds, to give proper
receipts and acquittances therefor, and authorizes and directs the issuer of
each of such insurance policies to make payment for all such losses directly to
Beneficiary, instead of to Grantor and Beneficiary jointly, subject to the terms
of the Loan Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE 12.

                             DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE

     SECTION 12.1. REMEDIES. If an Event of Default exists,  Beneficiary may, at
Beneficiary's  election and by or through Trustee or otherwise,  exercise any or
all of the following rights, remedies and recourses:

     (a)  ACCELERATION.  Declare  the  Obligations  to be  immediately  due  and
payable,  without  further  notice,  presentment,  protest,  notice of intent to
accelerate,  notice of acceleration,  demand or action of any nature  whatsoever
(each of which hereby is expressly waived by Grantor),  whereupon the same shall
become  immediately due and payable and,  immediately  upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default,  interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of
the Note at the Default Rate.

     (b) ENTRY ON COLLATERAL. Enter the Collateral and take exclusive possession
thereof and of all books,  records and  accounts  relating  thereto.  If Grantor
remains in  possession of the  Collateral  after an Event of Default and without
Beneficiary's  written consent (to be issued or withheld in  Beneficiary's  sole
and  absolute  discretion),   Beneficiary  may  invoke  any  legal  remedies  to
dispossess Grantor.

     (c) OPERATION OF  COLLATERAL.  Hold,  lease,  develop,  manage,  operate or
otherwise use the Collateral  upon such terms and conditions as Beneficiary  may
deem  reasonable  under  the  circumstances   (including  making  such  repairs,
alterations,  additions and improvements and taking other actions,  from time to
time, as  Beneficiary  deems  necessary or  desirable),  and apply all Rents and
other amounts collected by Beneficiary or, as applicable,  Trustee in connection
therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7.

     (d) FORECLOSURE AND SALE. To the greatest extent  permitted by law, sell or
offer for sale the Collateral in such portions, order and parcels as Beneficiary
may  determine,  with or without  having first taken  possession of same, to the
highest bidder for cash at public auction. Such sale shall be made in accordance
with the laws of the State of California  relating to the sale of real estate or
by Article 9 of the UCC relating to the sale of  collateral  after  default by a
debtor (as such laws now exist or may be hereafter amended or succeeded),  or by
any other present or subsequent  articles or enactments  relating to same.  With
respect to any notices  required or permitted under the UCC, Grantor agrees that
five (5) days' prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable.  At
any such sale (i) whether  made under the power herein  contained,  the UCC, any
other legal  requirement  or by virtue of any judicial  proceedings or any other
legal  right,  remedy or recourse,  it shall not be necessary  for Trustee to be
physically  present  at or to have  constructive  possession  of the  Collateral
(Grantor  shall deliver to Trustee any portion of the Collateral not actually or
constructively possessed by Trustee immediately upon demand by Trustee), and the
title  to and  right  of  possession  of any  such  property  shall  pass to the
purchaser  thereof as  completely  as if Trustee had been  actually  present and
delivered to purchaser at such sale, (ii) each instrument of conveyance executed
by Trustee shall contain a general warranty of title binding upon Grantor, (iii)
each recital  contained in any  instrument of  conveyance  made by Trustee shall
conclusively  establish the truth and accuracy of the matters  recited  therein,
including nonpayment of the Obligations,  advertisement and conduct of such sale
in the manner  provided  herein and  otherwise  by law, and  appointment  of any
successor Trustee hereunder, (iv) any prerequisites to the validity of such sale
shall be  conclusively  presumed  to have been  performed,  (v) the  receipt  of
Trustee or other party  making the sale shall be a  sufficient  discharge to the
purchaser or purchasers for its or their purchase money and no such purchaser or
purchasers,  or  its  or  their  assigns  or  personal  representatives,   shall
thereafter be obligated to see to the  application  of such purchase money or be
in any way answerable for any loss,  misapplication or  nonapplication  thereof,
and (vi) to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be completely and
irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity
of redemption, and demand whatsoever,  either at law or in equity, in and to the
property  sold and such sale shall be a perpetual  bar both at law and in equity
against Grantor, and against all other persons claiming or to claim the property
sold or any part thereof,  by,  through or under Grantor.  Beneficiary

                                       5


may be a purchaser at such sale and if  Beneficiary is the highest  bidder,  may
credit  the  portion  of  the  purchase  price  that  would  be  distributed  to
Beneficiary  against the Obligations in lieu of paying cash. Any proceeds of any
such sale or  disposition  shall not cure any Event of Default or reinstate  any
Obligation for purposes of 2924c of the California Civil Code.

     (e) RECEIVER.  Make application to a court of competent  jurisdiction  for,
and obtain  from such court as a matter of strict  right and  without  notice to
Grantor or regard to the  adequacy of the  Collateral  for the  repayment of the
Obligations,  the  appointment  of a receiver  of the  Collateral,  and  Grantor
irrevocably  consents to such appointment.  Any such receiver shall have all the
usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases,  including the full power
to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Collateral upon such terms as may be
approved  by the  court,  and shall  apply  such  Rents in  accordance  with the
provisions of Section 4.7.

     (f) OTHER. Exercise all other rights,  remedies and recourses granted under
the Loan  Documents or otherwise  available  at law or in equity  (including  an
action for specific performance of any covenant contained in the Loan Documents,
or a judgment  on the Note  either  before,  during or after any  proceeding  to
enforce this Deed of Trust).

     SECTION 12.2.  SEPARATE  SALES.  The  Collateral may be sold in one or more
parcels  and in such  manner  and  order as  Trustee,  in its sole and  absolute
discretion, may elect; and the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default
shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

     SECTION 12.3. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE, CONCURRENT AND NONEXCLUSIVE. Beneficiary
shall have all rights,  remedies and recourses granted hereunder and in the Loan
Documents and available at law or equity  (including the UCC),  which rights (a)
shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately,  successively
or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Note and the other
Loan Documents,  or against the Collateral,  or against any one or more of them,
at the sole discretion of Beneficiary, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion
therefor shall arise,  and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall
not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or
recourse,  and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.  No action by
Beneficiary or Trustee in the  enforcement of any rights,  remedies or recourses
hereunder,  under the Loan  Documents  or  otherwise  at law or equity  shall be
deemed to cure any Event of Default.  To the extent  permitted  by law,  Grantor
hereby waives and releases all procedural  errors,  defects and imperfections in
any  proceedings  instituted by Trustee or  Beneficiary  under the terms of this
Deed of Trust, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 12.4. RELEASE OF AND RESORT TO COLLATERAL. Beneficiary may release,
regardless  of  consideration  and  without the  necessity  for any notice to or
consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Collateral, any part of the
Collateral  without,  as to the  remainder,  in any  way  impairing,  affecting,
subordinating  or  releasing  the  lien  or  security  interests  created  in or
evidenced by the Loan  Documents or their  stature as a first and prior lien and
security  interest in and to the  Collateral.  For  payment of the  Obligations,
Beneficiary  may  resort  to any other  security  in such  order  and  manner as
Beneficiary may elect.

     SECTION 12.5.  WAIVER OF REDEMPTION,  NOTICE AND MARSHALLING OF ASSETS.  To
the  fullest  extent   permitted  by  law,   Grantor  hereby   irrevocably   and
unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor
by virtue of any  present or future  statute of  limitations  or law or judicial
decision exempting the Collateral from attachment,  levy or sale on execution or
providing for any  appraisement,  valuation,  stay of execution,  exemption from
civil process,  redemption or extension of time for payment,  (b) all notices of
any Event of Default or of Beneficiary's or, as applicable,  Trustee's  election
to exercise or its actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for
under  the  Loan  Documents  or at law or in  equity,  and  (c) any  right  to a
marshalling of assets  (including any rights  provided by California  Civil Code
Sections 2899 and 3433) or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

     SECTION 12.6.  DISCONTINUANCE  OF  PROCEEDINGS.  If Beneficiary  shall have
proceeded  to invoke  any right,  remedy or  recourse  permitted  under the Loan
Documents  and shall  thereafter  elect to  discontinue  or  abandon  it for any
reason,  Beneficiary  shall have the unqualified  right to do so and, in such an
event,  Grantor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with
respect to the  Obligations,  the Loan Documents,  the Collateral and otherwise,
and the rights, remedies,  recourses and powers of Beneficiary shall continue as
if  the  right,

                                       6


remedy or  recourse  had  never  been  invoked,  but no such  discontinuance  or
abandonment  shall waive any Event of Default  which may then exist or the right
of  Beneficiary  thereafter to exercise any right,  remedy or recourse under the
Loan Documents for such Event of Default.

     SECTION 12.7. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any sale of, and the
Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, operating,  insuring, leasing,
management,  operation  or other  use of the  Collateral,  shall be  applied  by
Beneficiary  or Trustee (or the receiver,  if one is appointed) in the following
order unless otherwise required by applicable law:

     (a) to the payment of the costs and  expenses of taking  possession  of the
Collateral and of holding, using, leasing, repairing,  improving and selling the
same, including (1) trustee's and receiver's fees and expenses, (2) court costs,
(3) attorneys' and accountants'  fees and expenses,  (4) costs of advertisement,
and (5) the  payment of all ground  rent,  real  estate  taxes and  assessments,
except any taxes, assessments,  or other charges subject to which the Collateral
shall have been sold;

     (b) to the payment of all amounts (including interest at the Default Rate),
other  than the unpaid  principal  balance  of the Note and  accrued  but unpaid
interest, which may be due to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents;

     (c) to the payment and  performance of the remainder of the  Obligations in
such manner and order of preference as  Beneficiary  in its sole  discretion may
determine; and

     (d) the  balance,  if any, to the payment of the persons  legally  entitled
thereto.

     SECTION  12.8.  OCCUPANCY  AFTER  FORECLOSURE.  The  purchaser  at any sale
pursuant to Section 4.1(d) shall become the legal owner of the  Collateral.  All
occupants  of the  Collateral  shall,  at the option of such  purchaser,  become
tenants  of the  purchaser  at the sale and  shall  deliver  possession  thereof
immediately  to the  purchaser  upon demand.  It shall not be necessary  for the
purchaser  at said sale to bring any action  for  possession  of the  Collateral
other  than the  statutory  action of  forcible  detainer  in any  court  having
jurisdiction over the Collateral.

     SECTION 12.9. ADDITIONAL ADVANCES AND DISBURSEMENTS; COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT.

     (a) If Grantor shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform
any act required by the Loan Documents and such failure  constitutes an Event of
Default,  then without notice to or demand upon Grantor or any other Person, and
without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Beneficiary may
have  because  of such  Event of  Default,  Beneficiary  may (but  shall  not be
obligated  to) make such  payment or perform  such act for the account of and at
the  expense  of  Grantor,  provided  that any such  action  by or on  behalf of
Beneficiary  of such  non-performance  or breach shall not be deemed to cure any
such Event of Default.  All sums  advanced and expenses  incurred at any time by
Beneficiary under this Section 4.9, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any
of the other Loan  Documents  or  applicable  law,  shall be payable  within the
Demand Period,  and shall bear interest from the expiration of the Demand Period
to and including the date of  reimbursement,  computed at the Default Rate,  and
all such sums, together with interest thereon,  shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.

     (b) Prior to the expiration of the applicable Demand Period,  Grantor shall
pay, or at  Beneficiary's  option,  reimburse  Beneficiary  and Trustee for, all
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of or incidental to
the  perfection  and  enforcement  of this  Deed of  Trust  and the  other  Loan
Documents,  or the  enforcement,  compromise or settlement of the Obligations or
any  claim  under  this  Deed of Trust  and the  other  Loan  Documents,  or for
defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary in respect  thereof,
by litigation or otherwise.  Such  expenses  shall include  reasonable  expenses
(including  the reasonable  fees and expenses of legal counsel for  Beneficiary)
incurred  in  connection   with  (i)  the   preservation   and   enforcement  of
Beneficiary's  liens and security  interests under this Deed of Trust,  (ii) the
protection,  exercise or enforcement of Beneficiary's rights with respect to the
Property including Beneficiary's rights to (1) collect or take possession of the
Property  and the  proceeds  thereof,  (2) hold the  Property,  (3)  prepare the
Property for sale or other  disposition and (4) sell or otherwise dispose of the
Property,  and (iii) the  assertion,  protection,  exercise  or  enforcement  of
Beneficiary's  rights in any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code,
including the  preparation,  filing and prosecution of (1) proofs

                                       7


of claim,  (2)  motions  for relief  from the  automatic  stay,  (3) motions for
adequate  protection,  and  (4)  complaints,  answers  and  other  pleadings  in
adversary  proceedings  by or against  Beneficiary or relating in any way to the
Property.  The duties and  obligations of Beneficiary  under this Section 4.9(b)
are in addition  to, and not in lieu of,  Beneficiary's  duties and  obligations
under Section 9.5 of the Loan Agreement.

     SECTION 12.10. NO  MORTGAGEE-IN-POSSESSION.  Neither the enforcement of any
of the  remedies  under this Article 4, the  assignment  of the Leases and Rents
under Article 5, the security  interests under Article 6, nor any other remedies
afforded to  Beneficiary  under the Loan  Documents,  at law or in equity  shall
cause   Beneficiary   or   Trustee   to  be   deemed  or   construed   to  be  a
mortgagee-in-possession of the Collateral, to obligate Beneficiary or Trustee to
lease the  Collateral  or  attempt  to do so, or to take any  action,  incur any
expense,  or perform or discharge any obligation,  duty or liability  whatsoever
under any of the Leases or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE 13.

                         ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS

     SECTION 13.1.  ASSIGNMENT.  Grantor  acknowledges  and confirms that it has
executed and delivered to  Beneficiary an Assignment of Leases and Rents of even
date (the  "Assignment  of Leases and Rents"),  intending  that such  instrument
create a present, absolute assignment to Beneficiary of, among other things, the
Leases,  Lease Guaranties and Rents.  Without limiting the intended  benefits or
the remedies  provided under the Assignment of Leases and Rents,  Grantor hereby
assigns to Beneficiary,  as further  security for the  Obligations,  the Leases,
Lease  Guaranties  and  Rents.  Upon the  occurrence  of any  Event of  Default,
Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise any or all of the remedies provided in
the Assignment of Leases and Rents and in Article 4 hereof,  including the right
to have a receiver  appointed.  If any conflict or inconsistency  exists between
the assignment of Leases,  Lease  Guaranties and Rents in this Deed of Trust and
the absolute assignment of Leases,  Lease Guaranties and Rents in the Assignment
of Leases  and Rents,  the terms of the  Assignment  of Leases  and Rents  shall
control.

     SECTION 13.2. NO MERGER OF ESTATES.  So long as any part of the Obligations
remain unpaid and undischarged,  the fee and leasehold estates to the Collateral
shall not merge,  but shall remain  separate and distinct,  notwithstanding  the
union of such estates  either in Grantor,  Beneficiary,  any lessee or any third
party by purchase or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE 14.

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

     SECTION 14.1.  SECURITY  AGREEMENT.  This Deed of Trust shall  constitute a
security  agreement under Article 9 of the UCC in each  applicable  jurisdiction
with respect to the Personal Property,  which shall be deemed to include any and
all fixtures and personal  property  included in the description of the Personal
Property,  now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor,  which might otherwise be
deemed "personal  property" and all accessions thereto and the proceeds thereof.
Grantor has granted and does hereby grant Beneficiary a security interest in the
Personal  Property and in all additions  and  accessions  thereto,  renewals and
replacements thereof and all substitutions therefor and proceeds thereof for the
purpose of securing all  Obligations  now or  hereafter  secured by this Deed of
Trust. The following provisions relate to such security interest:

     (a) The Personal Property  includes all now existing or hereafter  acquired
or  arising  equipment,   inventory,   accounts,   chattel  paper,  instruments,
documents,  deposit  accounts,  investment  property,  letter-of-credit  rights,
commercial tort claims,  supporting  obligations and general  intangibles now or
hereafter  used or procured for use in the  Collateral or otherwise  relating to
the  Collateral.  If Grantor  shall at any time acquire a commercial  tort claim
relating to the  Collateral,  Grantor shall  promptly  notify  Beneficiary  in a
writing signed by Grantor of the brief details  thereof and grant to Beneficiary
a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof.

     (b) Grantor hereby irrevocably  authorizes Beneficiary at any time and from
time to time to file in any filing  office in any UCC  jurisdiction  any initial
financing  statements and amendments thereto that (a)

                                       8


indicate  the  collateral  as "all assets used or procured  for use or otherwise
relating to" the Collateral or words of similar effect,  or as being of equal or
lesser scope or in greater detail, and to indicate the Collateral as defined, or
in a manner  consistent with the term as defined,  in this Deed of Trust and (b)
contain any other information  required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of any
such  filing  office for the  sufficiency  or filing  office  acceptance  of any
initial  financing  statement  or  amendment,  including  whether  Grantor is an
organization,  the type of organization  and any  organizational  identification
number  issued to Grantor.  Grantor  agrees to provide any such  information  to
Beneficiary  promptly upon request.  Grantor also ratifies its authorization for
Beneficiary to have filed in any filing office in any UCC  jurisdiction any like
initial  financing  statements or amendments  thereto if filed prior to the date
hereof.  Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary,  from time to time, within the Demand
Period,  any and all costs and expenses  incurred by  Beneficiary  in connection
with the  filing  of any  such  initial  financing  statements  and  amendments,
including  attorneys' fees and all disbursements.  Such costs and expenses shall
bear interest at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until
the date  repaid by Grantor,  and such costs and  expenses,  together  with such
interest,  shall be part of the Obligations and shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.

     (c)  Grantor  shall  any time  and from  time to time  take  such  steps as
Beneficiary may reasonably  request for  Beneficiary to obtain  "control" of any
Personal  Property  for which  control  is a  permitted  or  required  method to
perfect,  or to insure  priority  of, the  security  interest  in such  Personal
Property granted herein.

     (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,  Beneficiary shall have the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as well as all other rights
and remedies available at law or in equity or under this Deed of Trust.

     (e) It is intended by Grantor  and  Beneficiary  that this Deed of Trust be
effective as a financing statement filed with the applicable real estate records
as a fixture  filing  covering the  Collateral.  A description of the Land which
relates to the  Personal  Property  is set forth in  Exhibit A attached  hereto.
Grantor  is the  record  owner  of  the  Land.  Grantor  is a  Delaware  limited
partnership  with  an  organizational   identification  number,  issued  by  the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, of 2500587.

     (f) Terms  defined  in the UCC and not  otherwise  defined  in this Deed of
Trust shall have the same  meanings in this Article as are set forth in the UCC.
In the event  that a term is used in  Article  9 of the UCC and also in  another
Article of the UCC, the term used in this Article is that used in Article 9. The
term  "control,"  as used in this  Article,  has the  meaning  given in Sections
9-104, 9-105, 9-106 or 9-107 of Article 9, as applicable.

                                  ARTICLE 15.

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 15.1.  CERTAIN RIGHTS.  With the approval of  Beneficiary,  Trustee
shall have the right to select,  employ and consult with legal counsel.  Trustee
shall  have  the  right  to  rely  on  any  instrument,  document  or  signature
authorizing  or  supporting  any action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee
hereunder,  believed  by Trustee in good faith to be genuine.  Trustee  shall be
entitled to reimbursement for actual, reasonable expenses incurred by Trustee in
the performance of Trustee's  duties.  Grantor shall, from time to time, pay the
compensation due to Trustee  hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and indemnify,
defend and save Trustee harmless against,  all liability and reasonable expenses
which may be  incurred  by  Trustee  in the  performance  of  Trustee's  duties,
including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of
Trustee;  however, Grantor shall not be liable under such indemnification to the
extent such liability or expenses result solely from Trustee's gross  negligence
or willful misconduct  hereunder.  Grantor's  obligations under this Section 7.1
shall not be reduced or impaired by principles of  comparative  or  contributory
negligence.

     SECTION 15.2.  RETENTION OF MONEY.  All moneys  received by Trustee  shall,
until used or applied as herein provided,  be held in trust for the purposes for
which they were  received,  but need not be  segregated  in any manner  from any
other moneys (except to the extent  required by law), and Trustee shall be under
no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder.

                                       9


     SECTION 15.3. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEES. If Trustee or any successor Trustee shall
die, resign or become  disqualified  from acting in the execution of this trust,
or Beneficiary shall desire to appoint a substitute  Trustee,  Beneficiary shall
have full power to appoint one or more  substitute  Trustees  and, if preferred,
several substitute  Trustees in succession who shall succeed to all the estates,
rights,  powers and duties of Trustee.  Such  appointment may be executed by any
authorized agent of Beneficiary,  and as so executed,  such appointment shall be
conclusively  presumed  to be executed  with  authority,  valid and  sufficient,
without further proof of any action.

     SECTION 15.4.  PERFECTION OF  APPOINTMENT.  Should any deed,  conveyance or
instrument of any nature be required  from Grantor by any  successor  Trustee to
more fully and  certainly  vest in and confirm to such  successor  Trustee  such
estates, rights, powers and duties, then, upon request by such Trustee, all such
deeds,  conveyances and instruments  shall be made,  executed,  acknowledged and
delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor.

     SECTION 15.5. TRUSTEE LIABILITY.  In no event or circumstance shall Trustee
or any substitute Trustee hereunder be personally liable under or as a result of
this  Deed of  Trust,  either  as a result  of any  action  by  Trustee  (or any
substitute Trustee) in the exercise of the powers hereby granted or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE 16.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 16.1.  NOTICES.  Any notice required or permitted to be given under
this Deed of Trust shall be in writing and either  shall be mailed by  certified
mail,  postage  prepaid,  return  receipt  requested,  or sent by overnight  air
courier service,  or personally  delivered to a representative  of the receiving
party. All such communications shall be mailed, sent or delivered,  addressed to
the party for whom it is  intended at its address set forth on the first page of
this Deed of Trust. Any communication so addressed and mailed shall be deemed to

Beneficiary,  Trustee or Grantor,  as the case may be. Any party may designate a
change of  address  by  written  notice to the other by giving at least ten (10)
days prior written notice of such change of address.

     SECTION  16.2.  COVENANTS  RUNNING  WITH  THE  PROPERTY.   All  Obligations
contained in this Deed of Trust are intended by Grantor, Beneficiary and Trustee
to be, and shall be construed as, covenants  running with the Property.  As used
herein,  "Grantor" shall refer to the party named in the first paragraph of this
Deed of Trust and to any subsequent  owner of all or any portion of the Property
(without in any way implying  that  Beneficiary  has or will consent to any such
conveyance or transfer of the Property). All persons or entities who may have or
acquire an  interest in the  Property  shall be deemed to have notice of, and be
bound by, the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; however,
no such party  shall be  entitled  to any rights  thereunder  without  the prior
written consent of Beneficiary (which may be issued or withheld in Beneficiary's
sole and absolute discretion).

     SECTION  16.3.   ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.   Grantor  hereby  irrevocably  appoints
Beneficiary  and its  successors  and assigns,  as its  attorney-in-fact,  which
agency is coupled with an interest,  (a) to execute and/or record any notices of
completion,  cessation of labor,  or any other  notices that  Beneficiary  deems
appropriate to protect  Beneficiary's  interest,  if Grantor shall fail to do so
within ten (10) days after written request by Beneficiary, (b) upon the issuance
of a deed pursuant to the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the delivery of a
deed  in  lieu  of  foreclosure,  to  execute  all  instruments  of  assignment,
conveyance  or further  assurance  with respect to the Leases,  Rents,  Personal
Property,  and  Fixtures  in favor of the grantee of any such deed and as may be
necessary or desirable  for such  purpose,  (c) to prepare,  execute and file or
record  financing   statements,   continuation   statements,   applications  for
registration  and  like  papers   necessary  to  create,   perfect  or  preserve
Beneficiary's security interests and rights in or to any of the Collateral,  and
(d) upon the  occurrence  of an Event of Default,  to perform any  obligation of
Grantor  hereunder  or under  any of the  other  Loan  Documents;  however:  (1)
Beneficiary  shall not under

                                       10



any  circumstances  be obligated to perform any  obligation of Grantor;  (2) any
sums advanced by Beneficiary in such performance  shall be added to and included
in the  Obligations  and  shall  bear  interest  at the  Default  Rate  from the
expiration  of  the  applicable  Demand  Period  until  paid  by  Grantor;   (3)
Beneficiary as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as
are actually received by Beneficiary; and (4) Beneficiary shall not be liable to
Grantor or any other  person or entity for any failure to take any action  which
it is empowered to take under this Section 8.3.

hereof,  as the  same  may  be  amended,  restated,  replaced,  supplemented  or
otherwise modified from time to time.

                                  ARTICLE 18.

                                      GRANT

     SECTION 18.1.  GRANT. To secure the full and timely payment and performance
of the Obligations,  Grantor GRANTS, BARGAINS, SELLS, and CONVEYS the Collateral
to Trustee (subject,  however,  to the Permitted  Encumbrances),  TO HAVE AND TO
HOLD,  IN TRUST,  WITH POWER OF SALE,  and Grantor does hereby bind itself,  its
successors and assigns to WARRANT AND FOREVER DEFEND the title to the Collateral
unto Trustee.

                                  ARTICLE 19.

                    WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS

     Grantor warrants, represents and covenants to Beneficiary as follows:

     SECTION 19.1. TITLE TO COLLATERAL AND LIEN OF THIS INSTRUMENT. Grantor owns
the  Collateral  free and clear of any liens,  claims or  interests,  except the
Permitted  Encumbrances.  This Deed of Trust creates  valid,  enforceable  first
priority liens and security interests against the Collateral.

     SECTION 19.2.  FIRST LIEN STATUS.  Grantor  shall  preserve and protect the
first priority lien and security  interest  status of this Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents.  If any lien or security interest other than the Permitted
Encumbrances is asserted against the Collateral,  Grantor shall promptly, and at
its expense, give Beneficiary a detailed written notice of such lien or security
interest (including origin, amount and such other information as Beneficiary may
request),  and shall  either (i) pay the  underlying  claim in full or take such
other  action  so as to cause it to be  released,  or (ii)  contest  the same in
compliance  with  the   requirements  of  the  Loan  Agreement   (including  the
requirement of providing a bond or other security satisfactory to Beneficiary).

                                       3


     SECTION 19.3.  PAYMENT AND  PERFORMANCE.  Grantor shall pay and perform the
Obligations  in full when they are  required  to be  performed.  Grantor  hereby
irrevocably  authorizes  Beneficiary  to apply any and all  amounts  received by
Beneficiary  in  repayment  of  amounts  due under the Loan  Documents  first to
amounts which are not guaranteed  pursuant to the terms of any guaranty and then
to amounts which are guaranteed  pursuant to the terms of any guaranty.  Grantor
hereby  waives any and all rights it has or may have under  Section  2822 of the
California  Civil Code which provides that if a guarantor is "liable upon only a
portion of an obligation and the principal provides partial  satisfaction of the
obligation, the principal may designate the portion of the obligation that is to
be satisfied."

     SECTION 19.4. REPLACEMENT OF FIXTURES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY.  Grantor shall
not,  without the prior written consent of Beneficiary  (which may be granted or
withheld  in  Beneficiary's  sole and  absolute  discretion),  permit any of the
Fixtures  or  Personal  Property  to be  removed  at any  time  from the Land or
Improvements, unless the removed item is removed temporarily for maintenance and
repair or, if removed permanently,  is obsolete and is replaced by an article of
equal or better suitability and value, owned by Grantor subject to the liens and
security interests of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents,  and free
and clear of any other lien or  security  interest  except  such as may be first
approved in writing by Beneficiary prior to acquisition by Grantor.

     SECTION 19.5. MAINTENANCE OF RIGHTS OF WAY, EASEMENTS AND LICENSES. Grantor
shall  maintain  all rights of way,  easements,  grants,  privileges,  licenses,
certificates, permits, entitlements, and franchises necessary for the use of the
Collateral and will not, without the prior consent of Beneficiary  (which may be
granted or withheld in Beneficiary's sole and absolute  discretion),  consent to
any public restriction  (including any zoning ordinance) or private  restriction
as to the use of the  Collateral.  Grantor  shall  comply  with all  restrictive
covenants affecting the Collateral, and all Legal Requirements, including zoning
ordinances,  environmental  laws and other public or private  restrictions as to
the use of the Collateral.

     SECTION 19.6. INSPECTION.  Grantor shall permit Beneficiary and/or Trustee,
and their agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior notice to
Grantor,   to  inspect  the  Collateral  and  conduct  such   environmental  and
engineering  studies as Beneficiary may require,  provided that such inspections
and studies  shall not  materially  interfere  with the use and operation of the
Collateral.  The costs relating to such activities  shall be paid by Beneficiary
unless (i) Beneficiary has a good faith basis for suspecting that Grantor is not
in material compliance with its warranties, covenants and agreements relating to
the physical  condition of the Collateral and/or compliance with laws (including
environmental laws), (ii) the examination of such books and records reveals that
financial information submitted to Beneficiary by Grantor or anyone on behalf of
Grantor is  materially  inaccurate,  or (iii) an Event of Default  exists (or is
discovered  as a result of any such  inspection  or  review),  in which case the
reasonable  third party fees and expenses  relating to such activities  shall be
paid by Grantor within the Demand Period.

     SECTION 19.7. OTHER  COVENANTS.  All of the covenants in the Loan Agreement
are  incorporated  herein by  reference  and,  together  with  covenants in this
Article 3 shall be covenants running with the Property.  The covenants set forth
in the Loan  Agreement  include,  among other  provisions:  (a) the  prohibition
against the further sale, transfer or encumbering of any of the Collateral,  (b)
the obligation to pay when due all taxes on the  Collateral or assessed  against
Beneficiary  with respect to the Loan,  (c) the right of  Beneficiary to inspect
the Collateral,  (d) the obligation to keep the Collateral insured in accordance
with  the  Loan  Agreement,   (e)  the  obligation  to  comply  with  all  legal
requirements (including  environmental laws), (f) the obligation to maintain the
Collateral in good condition,  and promptly  repair any damage or casualty,  and
(g) except as otherwise  permitted under the Loan  Agreement,  the obligation of
Grantor  to  obtain  Beneficiary's  written  consent  prior  to  entering  into,
modifying or taking other actions with respect to Leases.

     SECTION 19.8. CONDEMNATION AWARDS AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS.

     (a)  CONDEMNATION  AWARDS.  Grantor  assigns to Beneficiary  all awards and
compensation  for any  condemnation  or other  taking,  or any  purchase in lieu
thereof,  and  authorizes  Beneficiary  to collect and  receive  such awards and
compensation and to give proper receipts and acquittances  therefor,  subject to
the terms of the Loan Agreement.

                                       4


     (b) INSURANCE PROCEEDS.  Grantor assigns to Beneficiary all proceeds of any
insurance  policies  insuring against loss or damage to the Collateral.  Grantor
authorizes  Beneficiary  to collect and receive  such  proceeds,  to give proper
receipts and  acquittances  therefor,  and  authorizes and directs the issuer of
each of such insurance  policies to make payment for all such losses directly to
Beneficiary, instead of to Grantor and Beneficiary jointly, subject to the terms
of the Loan Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE 20.

                             DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE

     SECTION 20.1. REMEDIES. If an Event of Default exists,  Beneficiary may, at
Beneficiary's  election and by or through Trustee or otherwise,  exercise any or
all of the following rights, remedies and recourses:

     (a)  ACCELERATION.  Declare  the  Obligations  to be  immediately  due  and
payable,  without  further  notice,  presentment,  protest,  notice of intent to
accelerate,  notice of acceleration,  demand or action of any nature  whatsoever
(each of which hereby is expressly waived by Grantor),  whereupon the same shall
become  immediately due and payable and,  immediately  upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default,  interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of
the Note at the Default Rate.

     (b) ENTRY ON COLLATERAL. Enter the Collateral and take exclusive possession
thereof and of all books,  records and  accounts  relating  thereto.  If Grantor
remains in  possession of the  Collateral  after an Event of Default and without
Beneficiary's  written consent (to be issued or withheld in  Beneficiary's  sole
and  absolute  discretion),   Beneficiary  may  invoke  any  legal  remedies  to
dispossess Grantor.

     (c) OPERATION OF  COLLATERAL.  Hold,  lease,  develop,  manage,  operate or
otherwise use the Collateral  upon such terms and conditions as Beneficiary  may
deem  reasonable  under  the  circumstances   (including  making  such  repairs,
alterations,  additions and improvements and taking other actions,  from time to
time, as  Beneficiary  deems  necessary or  desirable),  and apply all Rents and
other amounts collected by Beneficiary or, as applicable,  Trustee in connection
therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7.

     (d) FORECLOSURE AND SALE. To the greatest extent  permitted by law, sell or
offer for sale the Collateral in such portions, order and parcels as Beneficiary
may  determine,  with or without  having first taken  possession of same, to the
highest bidder for cash at public auction. Such sale shall be made in accordance
with the laws of the State of California  relating to the sale of real estate or
by Article 9 of the UCC relating to the sale of  collateral  after  default by a
debtor (as such laws now exist or may be hereafter amended or succeeded),  or by
any other present or subsequent  articles or enactments  relating to same.  With
respect to any notices  required or permitted under the UCC, Grantor agrees that
five (5) days' prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable.  At
any such sale (i) whether  made under the power herein  contained,  the UCC, any
other legal  requirement  or by virtue of any judicial  proceedings or any other
legal  right,  remedy or recourse,  it shall not be necessary  for Trustee to be
physically  present  at or to have  constructive  possession  of the  Collateral
(Grantor  shall deliver to Trustee any portion of the Collateral not actually or
constructively possessed by Trustee immediately upon demand by Trustee), and the
title  to and  right  of  possession  of any  such  property  shall  pass to the
purchaser  thereof as  completely  as if Trustee had been  actually  present and
delivered to purchaser at such sale, (ii) each instrument of conveyance executed
by Trustee shall contain a general warranty of title binding upon Grantor, (iii)
each recital  contained in any  instrument of  conveyance  made by Trustee shall
conclusively  establish the truth and accuracy of the matters  recited  therein,
including nonpayment of the Obligations,  advertisement and conduct of such sale
in the manner  provided  herein and  otherwise  by law, and  appointment  of any
successor Trustee hereunder, (iv) any prerequisites to the validity of such sale
shall be  conclusively  presumed  to have been  performed,  (v) the  receipt  of
Trustee or other party  making the sale shall be a  sufficient  discharge to the
purchaser or purchasers for its or their purchase money and no such purchaser or
purchasers,  or  its  or  their  assigns  or  personal  representatives,   shall
thereafter be obligated to see to the  application  of such purchase money or be
in any way answerable for any loss,  misapplication or  nonapplication  thereof,
and (vi) to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be completely and
irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity
of redemption, and demand whatsoever,  either at law or in equity, in and to the
property  sold and such sale shall be a perpetual  bar both at law and in equity
against Grantor, and against all other persons claiming or to claim the property
sold or any part thereof,  by,  through or under Grantor.  Beneficiary

                                       5


may be a purchaser at such sale and if  Beneficiary is the highest  bidder,  may
credit  the  portion  of  the  purchase  price  that  would  be  distributed  to
Beneficiary  against the Obligations in lieu of paying cash. Any proceeds of any
such sale or  disposition  shall not cure any Event of Default or reinstate  any
Obligation for purposes of 2924c of the California Civil Code.

     (e) RECEIVER.  Make application to a court of competent  jurisdiction  for,
and obtain  from such court as a matter of strict  right and  without  notice to
Grantor or regard to the  adequacy of the  Collateral  for the  repayment of the
Obligations,  the  appointment  of a receiver  of the  Collateral,  and  Grantor
irrevocably  consents to such appointment.  Any such receiver shall have all the
usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases,  including the full power
to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Collateral upon such terms as may be
approved  by the  court,  and shall  apply  such  Rents in  accordance  with the
provisions of Section 4.7.

     (f) OTHER. Exercise all other rights,  remedies and recourses granted under
the Loan  Documents or otherwise  available  at law or in equity  (including  an
action for specific performance of any covenant contained in the Loan Documents,
or a judgment  on the Note  either  before,  during or after any  proceeding  to
enforce this Deed of Trust).

     SECTION 20.2.  SEPARATE  SALES.  The  Collateral may be sold in one or more
parcels  and in such  manner  and  order as  Trustee,  in its sole and  absolute
discretion, may elect; and the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default
shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

     SECTION 20.3. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE, CONCURRENT AND NONEXCLUSIVE. Beneficiary
shall have all rights,  remedies and recourses granted hereunder and in the Loan
Documents and available at law or equity  (including the UCC),  which rights (a)
shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately,  successively
or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Note and the other
Loan Documents,  or against the Collateral,  or against any one or more of them,
at the sole discretion of Beneficiary, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion
therefor shall arise,  and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall
not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or
recourse,  and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.  No action by
Beneficiary or Trustee in the  enforcement of any rights,  remedies or recourses
hereunder,  under the Loan  Documents  or  otherwise  at law or equity  shall be
deemed to cure any Event of Default.  To the extent  permitted  by law,  Grantor
hereby waives and releases all procedural  errors,  defects and imperfections in
any  proceedings  instituted by Trustee or  Beneficiary  under the terms of this
Deed of Trust, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 20.4. RELEASE OF AND RESORT TO COLLATERAL. Beneficiary may release,
regardless  of  consideration  and  without the  necessity  for any notice to or
consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Collateral, any part of the
Collateral  without,  as to the  remainder,  in any  way  impairing,  affecting,
subordinating  or  releasing  the  lien  or  security  interests  created  in or
evidenced by the Loan  Documents or their  stature as a first and prior lien and
security  interest in and to the  Collateral.  For  payment of the  Obligations,
Beneficiary  may  resort  to any other  security  in such  order  and  manner as
Beneficiary may elect.

     SECTION 20.5.  WAIVER OF REDEMPTION,  NOTICE AND MARSHALLING OF ASSETS.  To
the  fullest  extent   permitted  by  law,   Grantor  hereby   irrevocably   and
unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor
by virtue of any  present or future  statute of  limitations  or law or judicial
decision exempting the Collateral from attachment,  levy or sale on execution or
providing for any  appraisement,  valuation,  stay of execution,  exemption from
civil process,  redemption or extension of time for payment,  (b) all notices of
any Event of Default or of Beneficiary's or, as applicable,  Trustee's  election
to exercise or its actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for
under  the  Loan  Documents  or at law or in  equity,  and  (c) any  right  to a
marshalling of assets  (including any rights  provided by California  Civil Code
Sections 2899 and 3433) or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

     SECTION 20.6.  DISCONTINUANCE  OF  PROCEEDINGS.  If Beneficiary  shall have
proceeded  to invoke  any right,  remedy or  recourse  permitted  under the Loan
Documents  and shall  thereafter  elect to  discontinue  or  abandon  it for any
reason,  Beneficiary  shall have the unqualified  right to do so and, in such an
event,  Grantor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with
respect to the  Obligations,  the Loan Documents,  the Collateral and otherwise,
and the rights, remedies,  recourses and powers of Beneficiary shall continue as
if  the  right,

                                       6



remedy or  recourse  had  never  been  invoked,  but no such  discontinuance  or
abandonment  shall waive any Event of Default  which may then exist or the right
of  Beneficiary  thereafter to exercise any right,  remedy or recourse under the
Loan Documents for such Event of Default.

     SECTION 20.7. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any sale of, and the
Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, operating,  insuring, leasing,
management,  operation  or other  use of the  Collateral,  shall be  applied  by
Beneficiary  or Trustee (or the receiver,  if one is appointed) in the following
order unless otherwise required by applicable law:

     (a) to the payment of the costs and  expenses of taking  possession  of the
Collateral and of holding, using, leasing, repairing,  improving and selling the
same, including (1) trustee's and receiver's fees and expenses, (2) court costs,
(3) attorneys' and accountants'  fees and expenses,  (4) costs of advertisement,
and (5) the  payment of all ground  rent,  real  estate  taxes and  assessments,
except any taxes, assessments,  or other charges subject to which the Collateral
shall have been sold;

     (b) to the payment of all amounts (including interest at the Default Rate),
other  than the unpaid  principal  balance  of the Note and  accrued  but unpaid
interest, which may be due to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents;

     (c) to the payment and  performance of the remainder of the  Obligations in
such manner and order of preference as  Beneficiary  in its sole  discretion may
determine; and

     (d) the  balance,  if any, to the payment of the persons  legally  entitled
thereto.

     SECTION  20.8.  OCCUPANCY  AFTER  FORECLOSURE.  The  purchaser  at any sale
pursuant to Section 4.1(d) shall become the legal owner of the  Collateral.  All
occupants  of the  Collateral  shall,  at the option of such  purchaser,  become
tenants  of the  purchaser  at the sale and  shall  deliver  possession  thereof
immediately  to the  purchaser  upon demand.  It shall not be necessary  for the
purchaser  at said sale to bring any action  for  possession  of the  Collateral
other  than the  statutory  action of  forcible  detainer  in any  court  having
jurisdiction over the Collateral.

     SECTION 20.9. ADDITIONAL ADVANCES AND DISBURSEMENTS; COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT.

     (a) If Grantor shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform
any act required by the Loan Documents and such failure  constitutes an Event of
Default,  then without notice to or demand upon Grantor or any other Person, and
without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Beneficiary may
have  because  of such  Event of  Default,  Beneficiary  may (but  shall  not be
obligated  to) make such  payment or perform  such act for the account of and at
the  expense  of  Grantor,  provided  that any such  action  by or on  behalf of
Beneficiary  of such  non-performance  or breach shall not be deemed to cure any
such Event of Default.  All sums  advanced and expenses  incurred at any time by
Beneficiary under this Section 4.9, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any
of the other Loan  Documents  or  applicable  law,  shall be payable  within the
Demand Period,  and shall bear interest from the expiration of the Demand Period
to and including the date of  reimbursement,  computed at the Default Rate,  and
all such sums, together with interest thereon,  shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.

     (b) Prior to the expiration of the applicable Demand Period,  Grantor shall
pay, or at  Beneficiary's  option,  reimburse  Beneficiary  and Trustee for, all
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of or incidental to
the  perfection  and  enforcement  of this  Deed of  Trust  and the  other  Loan
Documents,  or the  enforcement,  compromise or settlement of the Obligations or
any  claim  under  this  Deed of Trust  and the  other  Loan  Documents,  or for
defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary in respect  thereof,
by litigation or otherwise.  Such  expenses  shall include  reasonable  expenses
(including  the reasonable  fees and expenses of legal counsel for  Beneficiary)
incurred  in  connection   with  (i)  the   preservation   and   enforcement  of
Beneficiary's  liens and security  interests under this Deed of Trust,  (ii) the
protection,  exercise or enforcement of Beneficiary's rights with respect to the
Property including Beneficiary's rights to (1) collect or take possession of the
Property  and the  proceeds  thereof,  (2) hold the  Property,  (3)  prepare the
Property for sale or other  disposition and (4) sell or otherwise dispose of the
Property,  and (iii) the  assertion,  protection,  exercise  or  enforcement  of
Beneficiary's  rights in any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code,
including the  preparation,  filing and prosecution of (1) proofs

                                       7


of claim,  (2)  motions  for relief  from the  automatic  stay,  (3) motions for
adequate  protection,  and  (4)  complaints,  answers  and  other  pleadings  in
adversary  proceedings  by or against  Beneficiary or relating in any way to the
Property.  The duties and  obligations of Beneficiary  under this Section 4.9(b)
are in addition  to, and not in lieu of,  Beneficiary's  duties and  obligations
under Section 9.5 of the Loan Agreement.

     SECTION 20.10. NO  MORTGAGEE-IN-POSSESSION.  Neither the enforcement of any
of the  remedies  under this Article 4, the  assignment  of the Leases and Rents
under Article 5, the security  interests under Article 6, nor any other remedies
afforded to  Beneficiary  under the Loan  Documents,  at law or in equity  shall
cause   Beneficiary   or   Trustee   to  be   deemed  or   construed   to  be  a
mortgagee-in-possession of the Collateral, to obligate Beneficiary or Trustee to
lease the  Collateral  or  attempt  to do so, or to take any  action,  incur any
expense,  or perform or discharge any obligation,  duty or liability  whatsoever
under any of the Leases or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE 21.

                         ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS

     SECTION 21.1.  ASSIGNMENT.  Grantor  acknowledges  and confirms that it has
executed and delivered to  Beneficiary an Assignment of Leases and Rents of even
date (the  "Assignment  of Leases and Rents"),  intending  that such  instrument
create a present, absolute assignment to Beneficiary of, among other things, the
Leases,  Lease Guaranties and Rents.  Without limiting the intended  benefits or
the remedies  provided under the Assignment of Leases and Rents,  Grantor hereby
assigns to Beneficiary,  as further  security for the  Obligations,  the Leases,
Lease  Guaranties  and  Rents.  Upon the  occurrence  of any  Event of  Default,
Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise any or all of the remedies provided in
the Assignment of Leases and Rents and in Article 4 hereof,  including the right
to have a receiver  appointed.  If any conflict or inconsistency  exists between
the assignment of Leases,  Lease  Guaranties and Rents in this Deed of Trust and
the absolute assignment of Leases,  Lease Guaranties and Rents in the Assignment
of Leases  and Rents,  the terms of the  Assignment  of Leases  and Rents  shall
control.

     SECTION 21.2. NO MERGER OF ESTATES.  So long as any part of the Obligations
remain unpaid and undischarged,  the fee and leasehold estates to the Collateral
shall not merge,  but shall remain  separate and distinct,  notwithstanding  the
union of such estates  either in Grantor,  Beneficiary,  any lessee or any third
party by purchase or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE 22.

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

     SECTION 22.1.  SECURITY  AGREEMENT.  This Deed of Trust shall  constitute a
security  agreement under Article 9 of the UCC in each  applicable  jurisdiction
with respect to the Personal Property,  which shall be deemed to include any and
all fixtures and personal  property  included in the description of the Personal
Property,  now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor,  which might otherwise be
deemed "personal  property" and all accessions thereto and the proceeds thereof.
Grantor has granted and does hereby grant Beneficiary a security interest in the
Personal  Property and in all additions  and  accessions  thereto,  renewals and
replacements thereof and all substitutions therefor and proceeds thereof for the
purpose of securing all  Obligations  now or  hereafter  secured by this Deed of
Trust. The following provisions relate to such security interest:

     (a) The Personal Property  includes all now existing or hereafter  acquired
or  arising  equipment,   inventory,   accounts,   chattel  paper,  instruments,
documents,  deposit  accounts,  investment  property,  letter-of-credit  rights,
commercial tort claims,  supporting  obligations and general  intangibles now or
hereafter  used or procured for use in the  Collateral or otherwise  relating to
the  Collateral.  If Grantor  shall at any time acquire a commercial  tort claim
relating to the  Collateral,  Grantor shall  promptly  notify  Beneficiary  in a
writing signed by Grantor of the brief details  thereof and grant to Beneficiary
a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof.

     (b) Grantor hereby irrevocably  authorizes Beneficiary at any time and from
time to time to file in any filing  office in any UCC  jurisdiction  any initial
financing  statements and amendments thereto that (a)

                                       8


indicate  the  collateral  as "all assets used or procured  for use or otherwise
relating to" the Collateral or words of similar effect,  or as being of equal or
lesser scope or in greater detail, and to indicate the Collateral as defined, or
in a manner  consistent with the term as defined,  in this Deed of Trust and (b)
contain any other information  required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of any
such  filing  office for the  sufficiency  or filing  office  acceptance  of any
initial  financing  statement  or  amendment,  including  whether  Grantor is an
organization,  the type of organization  and any  organizational  identification
number  issued to Grantor.  Grantor  agrees to provide any such  information  to
Beneficiary  promptly upon request.  Grantor also ratifies its authorization for
Beneficiary to have filed in any filing office in any UCC  jurisdiction any like
initial  financing  statements or amendments  thereto if filed prior to the date
hereof.  Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary,  from time to time, within the Demand
Period,  any and all costs and expenses  incurred by  Beneficiary  in connection
with the  filing  of any  such  initial  financing  statements  and  amendments,
including  attorneys' fees and all disbursements.  Such costs and expenses shall
bear interest at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until
the date  repaid by Grantor,  and such costs and  expenses,  together  with such
interest,  shall be part of the Obligations and shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.

     (c)  Grantor  shall  any time  and from  time to time  take  such  steps as
Beneficiary may reasonably  request for  Beneficiary to obtain  "control" of any
Personal  Property  for which  control  is a  permitted  or  required  method to
perfect,  or to insure  priority  of, the  security  interest  in such  Personal
Property granted herein.

     (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,  Beneficiary shall have the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as well as all other rights
and remedies available at law or in equity or under this Deed of Trust.

     (e) It is intended by Grantor  and  Beneficiary  that this Deed of Trust be
effective as a financing statement filed with the applicable real estate records

     (f) Terms  defined  in the UCC and not  otherwise  defined  in this Deed of
Trust shall have the same  meanings in this Article as are set forth in the UCC.
In the event  that a term is used in  Article  9 of the UCC and also in  another
Article of the UCC, the term used in this Article is that used in Article 9. The
term  "control,"  as used in this  Article,  has the  meaning  given in Sections
9-104, 9-105, 9-106 or 9-107 of Article 9, as applicable.

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 23.1.  CERTAIN RIGHTS.  With the approval of  Beneficiary,  Trustee
shall have the right to select,  employ and consult with legal counsel.  Trustee
shall  have  the  right  to  rely  on  any  instrument,  document  or  signature
authorizing  or  supporting  any action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee
hereunder,  believed  by Trustee in good faith to be genuine.  Trustee  shall be
entitled to reimbursement for actual, reasonable expenses incurred by Trustee in
the performance of Trustee's  duties.  Grantor shall, from time to time, pay the
compensation due to Trustee  hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and indemnify,
defend and save Trustee harmless against,  all liability and reasonable expenses
which may be  incurred  by  Trustee  in the  performance  of  Trustee's  duties,
including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of
Trustee;  however, Grantor shall not be liable under such indemnification to the
extent such liability or expenses result solely from Trustee's gross  negligence
or willful misconduct  hereunder.  Grantor's  obligations under this Section 7.1
shall not be reduced or impaired by principles of  comparative  or  contributory
negligence.

     SECTION 23.2.  RETENTION OF MONEY.  All moneys  received by Trustee  shall,
until used or applied as herein provided,  be held in trust for the purposes for
which they were  received,  but need not be  segregated  in any manner  from any
other moneys (except to the extent  required by law), and Trustee shall be under
no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder.

                                       9



     SECTION 23.3. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEES. If Trustee or any successor Trustee shall
die, resign or become  disqualified  from acting in the execution of this trust,
or Beneficiary shall desire to appoint a substitute  Trustee,  Beneficiary shall
have full power to appoint one or more  substitute  Trustees  and, if preferred,
several substitute  Trustees in succession who shall succeed to all the estates,
rights,  powers and duties of Trustee.  Such  appointment may be executed by any
authorized agent of Beneficiary,  and as so executed,  such appointment shall be
conclusively  presumed  to be executed  with  authority,  valid and  sufficient,
without further proof of any action.

     SECTION 23.4.  PERFECTION OF  APPOINTMENT.  Should any deed,  conveyance or
instrument of any nature be required  from Grantor by any  successor  Trustee to
more fully and  certainly  vest in and confirm to such  successor  Trustee  such
estates, rights, powers and duties, then, upon request by such Trustee, all such
deeds,  conveyances and instruments  shall be made,  executed,  acknowledged and
delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor.

     SECTION 23.5. TRUSTEE LIABILITY.  In no event or circumstance shall Trustee
or any substitute Trustee hereunder be personally liable under or as a result of
this  Deed of  Trust,  either  as a result  of any  action  by  Trustee  (or any
substitute Trustee) in the exercise of the powers hereby granted or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE 24.

Deed of Trust and to any subsequent  owner of all or any portion of the Property
(without in any way implying  that  Beneficiary  has or will consent to any such

upon and inure to the  benefit of  Beneficiary,  Trustee  and  Grantor and their
respective  successors and assigns  provided that Grantor shall not, without the
prior  written  consent of  Beneficiary  (which may be  granted or  withheld  in
Beneficiary's  sole and  absolute  discretion),  assign  any  rights,  duties or
obligations hereunder.

     SECTION 24.5. NO WAIVER.  Any failure by Trustee or  Beneficiary  to insist
upon strict  performance  of any of the terms,  provisions  or conditions of the
Loan  Documents  shall  not be deemed to be a waiver  of same,  and  Trustee  or
Beneficiary  shall have the right at any time to insist upon strict  performance
of all of such terms, provisions and conditions.

     SECTION  24.6.  SUBROGATION.  To the extent  proceeds of the Note have been
used to extinguish,  extend or renew any  indebtedness  against the  Collateral,
then Beneficiary  shall be subrogated to all of the rights,  liens and interests
existing against the Collateral and held by the holder of such  indebtedness and
such  former  rights,  liens and  interests,  if any,  are not  waived,  but are
continued in full force and effect in favor of Beneficiary.

     SECTION  24.7.  LOAN  AGREEMENT.  If any conflict or  inconsistency  exists
between  this Deed of Trust and the Loan  Agreement,  the Loan  Agreement  shall
govern.

this Deed of Trust or reconvey the Collateral to Grantor.

     SECTION  24.9.  WAIVER OF STAY,  MORATORIUM  AND  SIMILAR  RIGHTS.  Grantor
agrees,  to the full extent that it may  lawfully do so, that it will not at any
time  insist  upon or plead or in any way take  advantage  of any  appraisement,
valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension,  redemption or moratorium law
now or hereafter in force and effect so as to prevent or hinder the  enforcement
of the provisions of this Deed of Trust or the indebtedness  secured hereby,  or
any  agreement  between  Grantor  and  Beneficiary  or any rights or remedies of
Beneficiary.

     SECTION 24.10.  LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.  Grantor's  liability hereunder is
subject to the  limitation  on  liability  provisions  of Article 10 of the Loan
Agreement.

     SECTION 24.11.  OBLIGATIONS OF GRANTOR, JOINT AND SEVERAL. If more than one

of all such persons or entities hereunder shall be joint and several.

laws of the State of California.

     SECTION 24.13. HEADINGS. The Article,  Section and Subsection titles hereof

subsequent  oral  agreements  of  the  parties.  There  are  no  unwritten  oral
agreements between the parties.

of the Obligations,  Grantor GRANTS, BARGAINS, SELLS, and CONVEYS the Collateral
to Trustee (subject,  however,  to the Permitted  Encumbrances),  TO HAVE AND TO

unto Trustee.

                                  ARTICLE 27.

     SECTION 27.1. TITLE TO COLLATERAL AND LIEN OF THIS INSTRUMENT. Grantor owns

Permitted  Encumbrances.  This Deed of Trust creates  valid,  enforceable  first
priority liens and security interests against the Collateral.

first priority lien and security  interest  status of this Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents.  If any lien or security interest other than the Permitted

its expense, give Beneficiary a detailed written notice of such lien or security
interest (including origin, amount and such other information as Beneficiary may
request),  and shall  either (i) pay the  underlying  claim in full or take such
other  action  so as to cause it to be  released,  or (ii)  contest  the same in
compliance  with  the   requirements  of  the  Loan  Agreement   (including  the
requirement of providing a bond or other security satisfactory to Beneficiary).

                                       3


     SECTION 27.3.  PAYMENT AND  PERFORMANCE.  Grantor shall pay and perform the
Obligations  in full when they are  required  to be  performed.  Grantor  hereby
irrevocably  authorizes  Beneficiary  to apply any and all  amounts  received by
Beneficiary  in  repayment  of  amounts  due under the Loan  Documents  first to
amounts which are not guaranteed  pursuant to the terms of any guaranty and then
to amounts which are guaranteed  pursuant to the terms of any guaranty.  Grantor
hereby  waives any and all rights it has or may have under  Section  2822 of the
California  Civil Code which provides that if a guarantor is "liable upon only a
portion of an obligation and the principal provides partial  satisfaction of the
obligation, the principal may designate the portion of the obligation that is to
be satisfied."

     SECTION 27.4. REPLACEMENT OF FIXTURES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY.  Grantor shall
not,  without the prior written consent of Beneficiary  (which may be granted or
withheld  in  Beneficiary's  sole and  absolute  discretion),  permit any of the
Fixtures  or  Personal  Property  to be  removed  at any  time  from the Land or
Improvements, unless the removed item is removed temporarily for maintenance and
repair or, if removed permanently,  is obsolete and is replaced by an article of
equal or better suitability and value, owned by Grantor subject to the liens and
security interests of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents,  and free
and clear of any other lien or  security  interest  except  such as may be first
approved in writing by Beneficiary prior to acquisition by Grantor.

     SECTION 27.5. MAINTENANCE OF RIGHTS OF WAY, EASEMENTS AND LICENSES. Grantor
shall  maintain  all rights of way,  easements,  grants,  privileges,  licenses,
certificates, permits, entitlements, and franchises necessary for the use of the
Collateral and will not, without the prior consent of Beneficiary  (which may be
granted or withheld in Beneficiary's sole and absolute  discretion),  consent to
any public restriction  (including any zoning ordinance) or private  restriction
as to the use of the  Collateral.  Grantor  shall  comply  with all  restrictive
covenants affecting the Collateral, and all Legal Requirements, including zoning
ordinances,  environmental  laws and other public or private  restrictions as to
the use of the Collateral.

     SECTION 27.6. INSPECTION.  Grantor shall permit Beneficiary and/or Trustee,
and their agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior notice to
Grantor,   to  inspect  the  Collateral  and  conduct  such   environmental  and
engineering  studies as Beneficiary may require,  provided that such inspections
and studies  shall not  materially  interfere  with the use and operation of the
Collateral.  The costs relating to such activities  shall be paid by Beneficiary
unless (i) Beneficiary has a good faith basis for suspecting that Grantor is not
in material compliance with its warranties, covenants and agreements relating to
the physical  condition of the Collateral and/or compliance with laws (including
environmental laws), (ii) the examination of such books and records reveals that
financial information submitted to Beneficiary by Grantor or anyone on behalf of
Grantor is  materially  inaccurate,  or (iii) an Event of Default  exists (or is
discovered  as a result of any such  inspection  or  review),  in which case the
reasonable  third party fees and expenses  relating to such activities  shall be
paid by Grantor within the Demand Period.

     SECTION 27.7. OTHER  COVENANTS.  All of the covenants in the Loan Agreement
are  incorporated  herein by  reference  and,  together  with  covenants in this
Article 3 shall be covenants running with the Property.  The covenants set forth
in the Loan  Agreement  include,  among other  provisions:  (a) the  prohibition
against the further sale, transfer or encumbering of any of the Collateral,  (b)
the obligation to pay when due all taxes on the  Collateral or assessed  against
Beneficiary  with respect to the Loan,  (c) the right of  Beneficiary to inspect
the Collateral,  (d) the obligation to keep the Collateral insured in accordance
with  the  Loan  Agreement,   (e)  the  obligation  to  comply  with  all  legal
requirements (including  environmental laws), (f) the obligation to maintain the
Collateral in good condition,  and promptly  repair any damage or casualty,  and
(g) except as otherwise  permitted under the Loan  Agreement,  the obligation of
Grantor  to  obtain  Beneficiary's  written  consent  prior  to  entering  into,
modifying or taking other actions with respect to Leases.

     SECTION 27.8. CONDEMNATION AWARDS AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS.

     (a)  CONDEMNATION  AWARDS.  Grantor  assigns to Beneficiary  all awards and
compensation  for any  condemnation  or other  taking,  or any  purchase in lieu
thereof,  and  authorizes  Beneficiary  to collect and  receive  such awards and
compensation and to give proper receipts and acquittances  therefor,  subject to
the terms of the Loan Agreement.

                                       4


     (b) INSURANCE PROCEEDS.  Grantor assigns to Beneficiary all proceeds of any
insurance  policies  insuring against loss or damage to the Collateral.  Grantor
authorizes  Beneficiary  to collect and receive  such  proceeds,  to give proper
receipts and  acquittances  therefor,  and  authorizes and directs the issuer of
each of such insurance  policies to make payment for all such losses directly to
Beneficiary, instead of to Grantor and Beneficiary jointly, subject to the terms
of the Loan Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE 28.

                             DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE

     SECTION 28.1. REMEDIES. If an Event of Default exists,  Beneficiary may, at
Beneficiary's  election and by or through Trustee or otherwise,  exercise any or
all of the following rights, remedies and recourses:

     (a)  ACCELERATION.  Declare  the  Obligations  to be  immediately  due  and
payable,  without  further  notice,  presentment,  protest,  notice of intent to
accelerate,  notice of acceleration,  demand or action of any nature  whatsoever
(each of which hereby is expressly waived by Grantor),  whereupon the same shall
become  immediately due and payable and,  immediately  upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default,  interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of
the Note at the Default Rate.

     (b) ENTRY ON COLLATERAL. Enter the Collateral and take exclusive possession
thereof and of all books,  records and  accounts  relating  thereto.  If Grantor
remains in  possession of the  Collateral  after an Event of Default and without
Beneficiary's  written consent (to be issued or withheld in  Beneficiary's  sole
and  absolute  discretion),   Beneficiary  may  invoke  any  legal  remedies  to
dispossess Grantor.

     (c) OPERATION OF  COLLATERAL.  Hold,  lease,  develop,  manage,  operate or
otherwise use the Collateral  upon such terms and conditions as Beneficiary  may
deem  reasonable  under  the  circumstances   (including  making  such  repairs,
alterations,  additions and improvements and taking other actions,  from time to
time, as  Beneficiary  deems  necessary or  desirable),  and apply all Rents and
other amounts collected by Beneficiary or, as applicable,  Trustee in connection
therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7.

     (d) FORECLOSURE AND SALE. To the greatest extent  permitted by law, sell or
offer for sale the Collateral in such portions, order and parcels as Beneficiary
may  determine,  with or without  having first taken  possession of same, to the
highest bidder for cash at public auction. Such sale shall be made in accordance
with the laws of the State of California  relating to the sale of real estate or
by Article 9 of the UCC relating to the sale of  collateral  after  default by a
debtor (as such laws now exist or may be hereafter amended or succeeded),  or by
any other present or subsequent  articles or enactments  relating to same.  With
respect to any notices  required or permitted under the UCC, Grantor agrees that
five (5) days' prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable.  At
any such sale (i) whether  made under the power herein  contained,  the UCC, any
other legal  requirement  or by virtue of any judicial  proceedings or any other
legal  right,  remedy or recourse,  it shall not be necessary  for Trustee to be
physically  present  at or to have  constructive  possession  of the  Collateral
(Grantor  shall deliver to Trustee any portion of the Collateral not actually or
constructively possessed by Trustee immediately upon demand by Trustee), and the
title  to and  right  of  possession  of any  such  property  shall  pass to the
purchaser  thereof as  completely  as if Trustee had been  actually  present and
delivered to purchaser at such sale, (ii) each instrument of conveyance executed
by Trustee shall contain a general warranty of title binding upon Grantor, (iii)
each recital  contained in any  instrument of  conveyance  made by Trustee shall
conclusively  establish the truth and accuracy of the matters  recited  therein,
including nonpayment of the Obligations,  advertisement and conduct of such sale
in the manner  provided  herein and  otherwise  by law, and  appointment  of any
successor Trustee hereunder, (iv) any prerequisites to the validity of such sale
shall be  conclusively  presumed  to have been  performed,  (v) the  receipt  of
Trustee or other party  making the sale shall be a  sufficient  discharge to the
purchaser or purchasers for its or their purchase money and no such purchaser or
purchasers,  or  its  or  their  assigns  or  personal  representatives,   shall
thereafter be obligated to see to the  application  of such purchase money or be
in any way answerable for any loss,  misapplication or  nonapplication  thereof,
and (vi) to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be completely and
irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity
of redemption, and demand whatsoever,  either at law or in equity, in and to the
property  sold and such sale shall be a perpetual  bar both at law and in equity
against Grantor, and against all other persons claiming or to claim the property
sold or any part thereof,  by,  through or under Grantor.  Beneficiary

                                       5


may be a purchaser at such sale and if  Beneficiary is the highest  bidder,  may
credit  the  portion  of  the  purchase  price  that  would  be  distributed  to
Beneficiary  against the Obligations in lieu of paying cash. Any proceeds of any
such sale or  disposition  shall not cure any Event of Default or reinstate  any
Obligation for purposes of 2924c of the California Civil Code.

     (e) RECEIVER.  Make application to a court of competent  jurisdiction  for,
and obtain  from such court as a matter of strict  right and  without  notice to
Grantor or regard to the  adequacy of the  Collateral  for the  repayment of the
Obligations,  the  appointment  of a receiver  of the  Collateral,  and  Grantor
irrevocably  consents to such appointment.  Any such receiver shall have all the
usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases,  including the full power
to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Collateral upon such terms as may be
approved  by the  court,  and shall  apply  such  Rents in  accordance  with the
provisions of Section 4.7.

     (f) OTHER. Exercise all other rights,  remedies and recourses granted under
the Loan  Documents or otherwise  available  at law or in equity  (including  an
action for specific performance of any covenant contained in the Loan Documents,
or a judgment  on the Note  either  before,  during or after any  proceeding  to
enforce this Deed of Trust).

     SECTION 28.2.  SEPARATE  SALES.  The  Collateral may be sold in one or more
parcels  and in such  manner  and  order as  Trustee,  in its sole and  absolute
discretion, may elect; and the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default
shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

     SECTION 28.3. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE, CONCURRENT AND NONEXCLUSIVE. Beneficiary
shall have all rights,  remedies and recourses granted hereunder and in the Loan
Documents and available at law or equity  (including the UCC),  which rights (a)
shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately,  successively
or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Note and the other
Loan Documents,  or against the Collateral,  or against any one or more of them,
at the sole discretion of Beneficiary, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion
therefor shall arise,  and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall
not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or
recourse,  and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.  No action by
Beneficiary or Trustee in the  enforcement of any rights,  remedies or recourses
hereunder,  under the Loan  Documents  or  otherwise  at law or equity  shall be
deemed to cure any Event of Default.  To the extent  permitted  by law,  Grantor
hereby waives and releases all procedural  errors,  defects and imperfections in
any  proceedings  instituted by Trustee or  Beneficiary  under the terms of this
Deed of Trust, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 28.4. RELEASE OF AND RESORT TO COLLATERAL. Beneficiary may release,
regardless  of  consideration  and  without the  necessity  for any notice to or
consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Collateral, any part of the
Collateral  without,  as to the  remainder,  in any  way  impairing,  affecting,
subordinating  or  releasing  the  lien  or  security  interests  created  in or
evidenced by the Loan  Documents or their  stature as a first and prior lien and
security  interest in and to the  Collateral.  For  payment of the  Obligations,
Beneficiary  may  resort  to any other  security  in such  order  and  manner as
Beneficiary may elect.

     SECTION 28.5.  WAIVER OF REDEMPTION,  NOTICE AND MARSHALLING OF ASSETS.  To
the  fullest  extent   permitted  by  law,   Grantor  hereby   irrevocably   and
unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor
by virtue of any  present or future  statute of  limitations  or law or judicial
decision exempting the Collateral from attachment,  levy or sale on execution or
providing for any  appraisement,  valuation,  stay of execution,  exemption from
civil process,  redemption or extension of time for payment,  (b) all notices of
any Event of Default or of Beneficiary's or, as applicable,  Trustee's  election
to exercise or its actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for
under  the  Loan  Documents  or at law or in  equity,  and  (c) any  right  to a
marshalling of assets  (including any rights  provided by California  Civil Code
Sections 2899 and 3433) or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

     SECTION 28.6.  DISCONTINUANCE  OF  PROCEEDINGS.  If Beneficiary  shall have
proceeded  to invoke  any right,  remedy or  recourse  permitted  under the Loan
Documents  and shall  thereafter  elect to  discontinue  or  abandon  it for any
reason,  Beneficiary  shall have the unqualified  right to do so and, in such an
event,  Grantor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with
respect to the  Obligations,  the Loan Documents,  the Collateral and otherwise,
and the rights, remedies,  recourses and powers of Beneficiary shall continue as
if  the  right,

                                       6



remedy or  recourse  had  never  been  invoked,  but no such  discontinuance  or
abandonment  shall waive any Event of Default  which may then exist or the right
of  Beneficiary  thereafter to exercise any right,  remedy or recourse under the
Loan Documents for such Event of Default.

     SECTION 28.7. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any sale of, and the
Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, operating,  insuring, leasing,
management,  operation  or other  use of the  Collateral,  shall be  applied  by
Beneficiary  or Trustee (or the receiver,  if one is appointed) in the following
order unless otherwise required by applicable law:

     (a) to the payment of the costs and  expenses of taking  possession  of the
Collateral and of holding, using, leasing, repairing,  improving and selling the
same, including (1) trustee's and receiver's fees and expenses, (2) court costs,
(3) attorneys' and accountants'  fees and expenses,  (4) costs of advertisement,
and (5) the  payment of all ground  rent,  real  estate  taxes and  assessments,
except any taxes, assessments,  or other charges subject to which the Collateral
shall have been sold;

     (b) to the payment of all amounts (including interest at the Default Rate),
other  than the unpaid  principal  balance  of the Note and  accrued  but unpaid
interest, which may be due to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents;

     (c) to the payment and  performance of the remainder of the  Obligations in
such manner and order of preference as  Beneficiary  in its sole  discretion may
determine; and

     (d) the  balance,  if any, to the payment of the persons  legally  entitled
thereto.

     SECTION  28.8.  OCCUPANCY  AFTER  FORECLOSURE.  The  purchaser  at any sale
pursuant to Section 4.1(d) shall become the legal owner of the  Collateral.  All
occupants  of the  Collateral  shall,  at the option of such  purchaser,  become
tenants  of the  purchaser  at the sale and  shall  deliver  possession  thereof
immediately  to the  purchaser  upon demand.  It shall not be necessary  for the
purchaser  at said sale to bring any action  for  possession  of the  Collateral
other  than the  statutory  action of  forcible  detainer  in any  court  having
jurisdiction over the Collateral.

     SECTION 28.9. ADDITIONAL ADVANCES AND DISBURSEMENTS; COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT.

     (a) If Grantor shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform
any act required by the Loan Documents and such failure  constitutes an Event of
Default,  then without notice to or demand upon Grantor or any other Person, and
without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Beneficiary may
have  because  of such  Event of  Default,  Beneficiary  may (but  shall  not be
obligated  to) make such  payment or perform  such act for the account of and at
the  expense  of  Grantor,  provided  that any such  action  by or on  behalf of
Beneficiary  of such  non-performance  or breach shall not be deemed to cure any
such Event of Default.  All sums  advanced and expenses  incurred at any time by
Beneficiary under this Section 4.9, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any
of the other Loan  Documents  or  applicable  law,  shall be payable  within the
Demand Period,  and shall bear interest from the expiration of the Demand Period
to and including the date of  reimbursement,  computed at the Default Rate,  and
all such sums, together with interest thereon,  shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.

     (b) Prior to the expiration of the applicable Demand Period,  Grantor shall
pay, or at  Beneficiary's  option,  reimburse  Beneficiary  and Trustee for, all
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of or incidental to
the  perfection  and  enforcement  of this  Deed of  Trust  and the  other  Loan
Documents,  or the  enforcement,  compromise or settlement of the Obligations or
any  claim  under  this  Deed of Trust  and the  other  Loan  Documents,  or for
defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary in respect  thereof,
by litigation or otherwise.  Such  expenses  shall include  reasonable  expenses
(including  the reasonable  fees and expenses of legal counsel for  Beneficiary)
incurred  in  connection   with  (i)  the   preservation   and   enforcement  of
Beneficiary's  liens and security  interests under this Deed of Trust,  (ii) the
protection,  exercise or enforcement of Beneficiary's rights with respect to the
Property including Beneficiary's rights to (1) collect or take possession of the
Property  and the  proceeds  thereof,  (2) hold the  Property,  (3)  prepare the
Property for sale or other  disposition and (4) sell or otherwise dispose of the
Property,  and (iii) the  assertion,  protection,  exercise  or  enforcement  of
Beneficiary's  rights in any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code,
including the  preparation,  filing and prosecution of (1) proofs

                                       7



of claim,  (2)  motions  for relief  from the  automatic  stay,  (3) motions for
adequate  protection,  and  (4)  complaints,  answers  and  other  pleadings  in
adversary  proceedings  by or against  Beneficiary or relating in any way to the
Property.  The duties and  obligations of Beneficiary  under this Section 4.9(b)
are in addition  to, and not in lieu of,  Beneficiary's  duties and  obligations
under Section 9.5 of the Loan Agreement.

     SECTION 28.10. NO  MORTGAGEE-IN-POSSESSION.  Neither the enforcement of any
of the  remedies  under this Article 4, the  assignment  of the Leases and Rents
under Article 5, the security  interests under Article 6, nor any other remedies
afforded to  Beneficiary  under the Loan  Documents,  at law or in equity  shall
cause   Beneficiary   or   Trustee   to  be   deemed  or   construed   to  be  a
mortgagee-in-possession of the Collateral, to obligate Beneficiary or Trustee to
lease the  Collateral  or  attempt  to do so, or to take any  action,  incur any
expense,  or perform or discharge any obligation,  duty or liability  whatsoever
under any of the Leases or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE 29.

                         ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS

     SECTION 29.1.  ASSIGNMENT.  Grantor  acknowledges  and confirms that it has
executed and delivered to  Beneficiary an Assignment of Leases and Rents of even
date (the  "Assignment  of Leases and Rents"),  intending  that such  instrument
create a present, absolute assignment to Beneficiary of, among other things, the
Leases,  Lease Guaranties and Rents.  Without limiting the intended  benefits or
the remedies  provided under the Assignment of Leases and Rents,  Grantor hereby
assigns to Beneficiary,  as further  security for the  Obligations,  the Leases,
Lease  Guaranties  and  Rents.  Upon the  occurrence  of any  Event of  Default,
Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise any or all of the remedies provided in
the Assignment of Leases and Rents and in Article 4 hereof,  including the right
to have a receiver  appointed.  If any conflict or inconsistency  exists between
the assignment of Leases,  Lease  Guaranties and Rents in this Deed of Trust and
the absolute assignment of Leases,  Lease Guaranties and Rents in the Assignment
of Leases  and Rents,  the terms of the  Assignment  of Leases  and Rents  shall
control.

     SECTION 29.2. NO MERGER OF ESTATES.  So long as any part of the Obligations
remain unpaid and undischarged,  the fee and leasehold estates to the Collateral
shall not merge,  but shall remain  separate and distinct,  notwithstanding  the
union of such estates  either in Grantor,  Beneficiary,  any lessee or any third
party by purchase or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE 30.

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

     SECTION 30.1.  SECURITY  AGREEMENT.  This Deed of Trust shall  constitute a
security  agreement under Article 9 of the UCC in each  applicable  jurisdiction
with respect to the Personal Property,  which shall be deemed to include any and
all fixtures and personal  property  included in the description of the Personal
Property,  now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor,  which might otherwise be
deemed "personal  property" and all accessions thereto and the proceeds thereof.
Grantor has granted and does hereby grant Beneficiary a security interest in the
Personal  Property and in all additions  and  accessions  thereto,  renewals and
replacements thereof and all substitutions therefor and proceeds thereof for the
purpose of securing all  Obligations  now or  hereafter  secured by this Deed of
Trust. The following provisions relate to such security interest:

     (a) The Personal Property  includes all now existing or hereafter  acquired
or  arising  equipment,   inventory,   accounts,   chattel  paper,  instruments,
documents,  deposit  accounts,  investment  property,  letter-of-credit  rights,
commercial tort claims,  supporting  obligations and general  intangibles now or
hereafter  used or procured for use in the  Collateral or otherwise  relating to
the  Collateral.  If Grantor  shall at any time acquire a commercial  tort claim
relating to the  Collateral,  Grantor shall  promptly  notify  Beneficiary  in a
writing signed by Grantor of the brief details  thereof and grant to Beneficiary
a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof.

     (b) Grantor hereby irrevocably  authorizes Beneficiary at any time and from
time to time to file in any filing  office in any UCC  jurisdiction  any initial
financing  statements and amendments thereto that (a)

                                       8


indicate  the  collateral  as "all assets used or procured  for use or otherwise
relating to" the Collateral or words of similar effect,  or as being of equal or
lesser scope or in greater detail, and to indicate the Collateral as defined, or
in a manner  consistent with the term as defined,  in this Deed of Trust and (b)
contain any other information  required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of any
such  filing  office for the  sufficiency  or filing  office  acceptance  of any
initial  financing  statement  or  amendment,  including  whether  Grantor is an
organization,  the type of organization  and any  organizational  identification
number  issued to Grantor.  Grantor  agrees to provide any such  information  to
Beneficiary  promptly upon request.  Grantor also ratifies its authorization for
Beneficiary to have filed in any filing office in any UCC  jurisdiction any like
initial  financing  statements or amendments  thereto if filed prior to the date
hereof.  Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary,  from time to time, within the Demand
Period,  any and all costs and expenses  incurred by  Beneficiary  in connection
with the  filing  of any  such  initial  financing  statements  and  amendments,
including  attorneys' fees and all disbursements.  Such costs and expenses shall
bear interest at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until
the date  repaid by Grantor,  and such costs and  expenses,  together  with such
interest,  shall be part of the Obligations and shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.

     (c)  Grantor  shall  any time  and from  time to time  take  such  steps as
Beneficiary may reasonably  request for  Beneficiary to obtain  "control" of any
Personal  Property  for which  control  is a  permitted  or  required  method to
perfect,  or to insure  priority  of, the  security  interest  in such  Personal
Property granted herein.

     (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,  Beneficiary shall have the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as well as all other rights
and remedies available at law or in equity or under this Deed of Trust.

     (e) It is intended by Grantor  and  Beneficiary  that this Deed of Trust be
effective as a financing statement filed with the applicable real estate records
as a fixture  filing  covering the  Collateral.  A description of the Land which
relates to the  Personal  Property  is set forth in  Exhibit A attached  hereto.
Grantor  is the  record  owner  of  the  Land.  Grantor  is a  Delaware  limited
partnership  with  an  organizational   identification  number,  issued  by  the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, of 2837173.

     (f) Terms  defined  in the UCC and not  otherwise  defined  in this Deed of
Trust shall have the same  meanings in this Article as are set forth in the UCC.
In the event  that a term is used in  Article  9 of the UCC and also in  another
Article of the UCC, the term used in this Article is that used in Article 9. The
term  "control,"  as used in this  Article,  has the  meaning  given in Sections
9-104, 9-105, 9-106 or 9-107 of Article 9, as applicable.

                                  ARTICLE 31.

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 31.1.  CERTAIN RIGHTS.  With the approval of  Beneficiary,  Trustee
shall have the right to select,  employ and consult with legal counsel.  Trustee
shall  have  the  right  to  rely  on  any  instrument,  document  or  signature
authorizing  or  supporting  any action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee
hereunder,  believed  by Trustee in good faith to be genuine.  Trustee  shall be
entitled to reimbursement for actual, reasonable expenses incurred by Trustee in
the performance of Trustee's  duties.  Grantor shall, from time to time, pay the
compensation due to Trustee  hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and indemnify,
defend and save Trustee harmless against,  all liability and reasonable expenses
which may be  incurred  by  Trustee  in the  performance  of  Trustee's  duties,
including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of
Trustee;  however, Grantor shall not be liable under such indemnification to the
extent such liability or expenses result solely from Trustee's gross  negligence
or willful misconduct  hereunder.  Grantor's  obligations under this Section 7.1
shall not be reduced or impaired by principles of  comparative  or  contributory
negligence.

     SECTION 31.2.  RETENTION OF MONEY.  All moneys  received by Trustee  shall,
until used or applied as herein provided,  be held in trust for the purposes for
which they were  received,  but need not be  segregated  in any manner  from any
other moneys (except to the extent  required by law), and Trustee shall be under
no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder.

                                       9


     SECTION 31.3. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEES. If Trustee or any successor Trustee shall
die, resign or become  disqualified  from acting in the execution of this trust,
or Beneficiary shall desire to appoint a substitute  Trustee,  Beneficiary shall
have full power to appoint one or more  substitute  Trustees  and, if preferred,
several substitute  Trustees in succession who shall succeed to all the estates,
rights,  powers and duties of Trustee.  Such  appointment may be executed by any
authorized agent of Beneficiary,  and as so executed,  such appointment shall be
conclusively  presumed  to be executed  with  authority,  valid and  sufficient,
without further proof of any action.

     SECTION 31.4.  PERFECTION OF  APPOINTMENT.  Should any deed,  conveyance or
instrument of any nature be required  from Grantor by any  successor  Trustee to
more fully and  certainly  vest in and confirm to such  successor  Trustee  such
estates, rights, powers and duties, then, upon request by such Trustee, all such
deeds,  conveyances and instruments  shall be made,  executed,  acknowledged and
delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor.

     SECTION 31.5. TRUSTEE LIABILITY.  In no event or circumstance shall Trustee
or any substitute Trustee hereunder be personally liable under or as a result of
this  Deed of  Trust,  either  as a result  of any  action  by  Trustee  (or any
substitute Trustee) in the exercise of the powers hereby granted or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE 32.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 32.1.  NOTICES.  Any notice required or permitted to be given under
this Deed of Trust shall be in writing and either  shall be mailed by  certified
mail,  postage  prepaid,  return  receipt  requested,  or sent by overnight  air
courier service,  or personally  delivered to a representative  of the receiving
party. All such communications shall be mailed, sent or delivered,  addressed to
the party for whom it is  intended at its address set forth on the first page of
this Deed of Trust. Any communication so addressed and mailed shall be deemed to
be given  on the  earliest  of (a) when  actually  delivered,  (b) on the  first

deposit is timely and  appropriate in accordance  with the  requirements of such
courier service for next business day delivery, or (c) on the third Business Day

address of the intended addressee,  and any communication so delivered in person
shall be deemed to be given when  receipted  for by, or  actually  received  by,
Beneficiary,  Trustee or Grantor,  as the case may be. Any party may designate a
change of  address  by  written  notice to the other by giving at least ten (10)
days prior written notice of such change of address.

     SECTION  32.2.  COVENANTS  RUNNING  WITH  THE  PROPERTY.   All  Obligations
contained in this Deed of Trust are intended by Grantor, Beneficiary and Trustee
to be, and shall be construed as, covenants  running with the Property.  As used
herein,  "Grantor" shall refer to the party named in the first paragraph of this
Deed of Trust and to any subsequent  owner of all or any portion of the Property
(without in any way implying  that  Beneficiary  has or will consent to any such
conveyance or transfer of the Property). All persons or entities who may have or
acquire an  interest in the  Property  shall be deemed to have notice of, and be
bound by, the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; however,
no such party  shall be  entitled  to any rights  thereunder  without  the prior
written consent of Beneficiary (which may be issued or withheld in Beneficiary's
sole and absolute discretion).

     SECTION  32.3.   ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.   Grantor  hereby  irrevocably  appoints
Beneficiary  and its  successors  and assigns,  as its  attorney-in-fact,  which
agency is coupled with an interest,  (a) to execute and/or record any notices of
completion,  cessation of labor,  or any other  notices that  Beneficiary  deems
appropriate to protect  Beneficiary's  interest,  if Grantor shall fail to do so
within ten (10) days after written request by Beneficiary, (b) upon the issuance
of a deed pursuant to the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the delivery of a
deed  in  lieu  of  foreclosure,  to  execute  all  instruments  of  assignment,
conveyance  or further  assurance  with respect to the Leases,  Rents,  Personal
Property,  and  Fixtures  in favor of the grantee of any such deed and as may be
necessary or desirable  for such  purpose,  (c) to prepare,  execute and file or
record  financing   statements,   continuation   statements,   applications  for
registration  and  like  papers   necessary  to  create,   perfect  or  preserve
Beneficiary's security interests and rights in or to any of the Collateral,  and
(d) upon the  occurrence  of an Event of Default,  to perform any  obligation of
Grantor  hereunder  or under  any of the  other  Loan  Documents;  however:  (1)
Beneficiary  shall not under

                                       10


any  circumstances  be obligated to perform any  obligation of Grantor;  (2) any
sums advanced by Beneficiary in such performance  shall be added to and included
in the  Obligations  and  shall  bear  interest  at the  Default  Rate  from the
expiration  of  the  applicable  Demand  Period  until  paid  by  Grantor;   (3)
Beneficiary as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as

Grantor or any other  person or entity for any failure to take any action  which
it is empowered to take under this Section 8.3.

     SECTION 32.4.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Deed of Trust shall be binding
upon and inure to the  benefit of  Beneficiary,  Trustee  and  Grantor and their
respective  successors and assigns  provided that Grantor shall not, without the
prior  written  consent of  Beneficiary  (which may be  granted or  withheld  in
Beneficiary's  sole and  absolute  discretion),  assign  any  rights,  duties or
obligations hereunder.

     SECTION 32.5. NO WAIVER.  Any failure by Trustee or  Beneficiary  to insist
upon strict  performance  of any of the terms,  provisions  or conditions of the
Loan  Documents  shall  not be deemed to be a waiver  of same,  and  Trustee  or
Beneficiary  shall have the right at any time to insist upon strict  performance
of all of such terms, provisions and conditions.

     SECTION  32.6.  SUBROGATION.  To the extent  proceeds of the Note have been
used to extinguish,  extend or renew any  indebtedness  against the  Collateral,
then Beneficiary  shall be subrogated to all of the rights,  liens and interests
existing against the Collateral and held by the holder of such  indebtedness and
such  former  rights,  liens and  interests,  if any,  are not  waived,  but are
continued in full force and effect in favor of Beneficiary.

     SECTION  32.7.  LOAN  AGREEMENT.  If any conflict or  inconsistency  exists
between  this Deed of Trust and the Loan  Agreement,  the Loan  Agreement  shall
govern.

     SECTION  32.8.   RELEASE  OR   RECONVEYANCE.   Upon  the  full,  final  and
indefeasible  payment  and  performance  of  the  Obligations,  Beneficiary,  at

this Deed of Trust or reconvey the Collateral to Grantor.

     SECTION  32.9.  WAIVER OF STAY,  MORATORIUM  AND  SIMILAR  RIGHTS.  Grantor
agrees,  to the full extent that it may  lawfully do so, that it will not at any
time  insist  upon or plead or in any way take  advantage  of any  appraisement,
valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension,  redemption or moratorium law
now or hereafter in force and effect so as to prevent or hinder the  enforcement
of the provisions of this Deed of Trust or the indebtedness  secured hereby,  or
any  agreement  between  Grantor  and  Beneficiary  or any rights or remedies of
Beneficiary.

     SECTION 32.10.  LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.  Grantor's  liability hereunder is
subject to the  limitation  on  liability  provisions  of Article 10 of the Loan
Agreement.

     SECTION 32.11.  OBLIGATIONS OF GRANTOR, JOINT AND SEVERAL. If more than one
person or entity has executed this Deed of Trust as "Grantor,"  the  obligations
of all such persons or entities hereunder shall be joint and several.

     SECTION  32.12.  GOVERNING LAW. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by the
laws of the State of California.

     SECTION 32.13. HEADINGS. The Article,  Section and Subsection titles hereof
are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, modify
or define,  or be used in  construing,  the text of such  Articles,  Sections or
Subsections.

Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding  between Beneficiary and

subsequent  oral  agreements  of  the  parties.  There  are  no  unwritten  oral
agreements between the parties.

Permitted  Encumbrances.  This Deed of Trust creates  valid,  enforceable  first
priority liens and security interests against the Collateral.

     SECTION 35.2.  FIRST LIEN STATUS.  Grantor  shall  preserve and protect the
first priority lien and security  interest  status of this Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents.  If any lien or security interest other than the Permitted
Encumbrances is asserted against the Collateral,  Grantor shall promptly, and at
its expense, give Beneficiary a detailed written notice of such lien or security
interest (including origin, amount and such other information as Beneficiary may
request),  and shall  either (i) pay the  underlying  claim in full or take such
other  action  so as to cause it to be  released,  or (ii)  contest  the same in
compliance  with  the   requirements  of  the  Loan  Agreement   (including  the
requirement of providing a bond or other security satisfactory to Beneficiary).

                                       3



     SECTION 35.3.  PAYMENT AND  PERFORMANCE.  Grantor shall pay and perform the
Obligations  in full when they are  required  to be  performed.  Grantor  hereby
irrevocably  authorizes  Beneficiary  to apply any and all  amounts  received by
Beneficiary  in  repayment  of  amounts  due under the Loan  Documents  first to
amounts which are not guaranteed  pursuant to the terms of any guaranty and then
to amounts which are guaranteed  pursuant to the terms of any guaranty.  Grantor
hereby  waives any and all rights it has or may have under  Section  2822 of the
California  Civil Code which provides that if a guarantor is "liable upon only a
portion of an obligation and the principal provides partial  satisfaction of the
obligation, the principal may designate the portion of the obligation that is to
be satisfied."

     SECTION 35.4. REPLACEMENT OF FIXTURES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY.  Grantor shall
not,  without the prior written consent of Beneficiary  (which may be granted or
withheld  in  Beneficiary's  sole and  absolute  discretion),  permit any of the
Fixtures  or  Personal  Property  to be  removed  at any  time  from the Land or
Improvements, unless the removed item is removed temporarily for maintenance and
repair or, if removed permanently,  is obsolete and is replaced by an article of
equal or better suitability and value, owned by Grantor subject to the liens and
security interests of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents,  and free
and clear of any other lien or  security  interest  except  such as may be first
approved in writing by Beneficiary prior to acquisition by Grantor.

     SECTION 35.5. MAINTENANCE OF RIGHTS OF WAY, EASEMENTS AND LICENSES. Grantor
shall  maintain  all rights of way,  easements,  grants,  privileges,  licenses,
certificates, permits, entitlements, and franchises necessary for the use of the
Collateral and will not, without the prior consent of Beneficiary  (which may be
granted or withheld in Beneficiary's sole and absolute  discretion),  consent to
any public restriction  (including any zoning ordinance) or private  restriction
as to the use of the  Collateral.  Grantor  shall  comply  with all  restrictive
covenants affecting the Collateral, and all Legal Requirements, including zoning
ordinances,  environmental  laws and other public or private  restrictions as to
the use of the Collateral.

     SECTION 35.6. INSPECTION.  Grantor shall permit Beneficiary and/or Trustee,
and their agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior notice to
Grantor,   to  inspect  the  Collateral  and  conduct  such   environmental  and
engineering  studies as Beneficiary may require,  provided that such inspections
and studies  shall not  materially  interfere  with the use and operation of the
Collateral.  The costs relating to such activities  shall be paid by Beneficiary
unless (i) Beneficiary has a good faith basis for suspecting that Grantor is not
in material compliance with its warranties, covenants and agreements relating to
the physical  condition of the Collateral and/or compliance with laws (including
environmental laws), (ii) the examination of such books and records reveals that
financial information submitted to Beneficiary by Grantor or anyone on behalf of
Grantor is  materially  inaccurate,  or (iii) an Event of Default  exists (or is
discovered  as a result of any such  inspection  or  review),  in which case the
reasonable  third party fees and expenses  relating to such activities  shall be
paid by Grantor within the Demand Period.

     SECTION 35.7. OTHER  COVENANTS.  All of the covenants in the Loan Agreement
are  incorporated  herein by  reference  and,  together  with  covenants in this
Article 3 shall be covenants running with the Property.  The covenants set forth
in the Loan  Agreement  include,  among other  provisions:  (a) the  prohibition
against the further sale, transfer or encumbering of any of the Collateral,  (b)
the obligation to pay when due all taxes on the  Collateral or assessed  against
Beneficiary  with respect to the Loan,  (c) the right of  Beneficiary to inspect
the Collateral,  (d) the obligation to keep the Collateral insured in accordance
with  the  Loan  Agreement,   (e)  the  obligation  to  comply  with  all  legal
requirements (including  environmental laws), (f) the obligation to maintain the
Collateral in good condition,  and promptly  repair any damage or casualty,  and
(g) except as otherwise  permitted under the Loan  Agreement,  the obligation of
Grantor  to  obtain  Beneficiary's  written  consent  prior  to  entering  into,
modifying or taking other actions with respect to Leases.

     SECTION 35.8. CONDEMNATION AWARDS AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS.

     (a)  CONDEMNATION  AWARDS.  Grantor  assigns to Beneficiary  all awards and
compensation  for any  condemnation  or other  taking,  or any  purchase in lieu
thereof,  and  authorizes  Beneficiary  to collect and  receive  such awards and
compensation and to give proper receipts and acquittances  therefor,  subject to
the terms of the Loan Agreement.

                                       4


     (b) INSURANCE PROCEEDS.  Grantor assigns to Beneficiary all proceeds of any
insurance  policies  insuring against loss or damage to the Collateral.  Grantor
authorizes  Beneficiary  to collect and receive  such  proceeds,  to give proper
receipts and  acquittances  therefor,  and  authorizes and directs the issuer of
each of such insurance  policies to make payment for all such losses directly to
Beneficiary, instead of to Grantor and Beneficiary jointly, subject to the terms
of the Loan Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE 36.

                             DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE

     SECTION 36.1. REMEDIES. If an Event of Default exists,  Beneficiary may, at
Beneficiary's  election and by or through Trustee or otherwise,  exercise any or
all of the following rights, remedies and recourses:

     (a)  ACCELERATION.  Declare  the  Obligations  to be  immediately  due  and
payable,  without  further  notice,  presentment,  protest,  notice of intent to
accelerate,  notice of acceleration,  demand or action of any nature  whatsoever
(each of which hereby is expressly waived by Grantor),  whereupon the same shall
become  immediately due and payable and,  immediately  upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default,  interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of
the Note at the Default Rate.

     (b) ENTRY ON COLLATERAL. Enter the Collateral and take exclusive possession
thereof and of all books,  records and  accounts  relating  thereto.  If Grantor
remains in  possession of the  Collateral  after an Event of Default and without
Beneficiary's  written consent (to be issued or withheld in  Beneficiary's  sole
and  absolute  discretion),   Beneficiary  may  invoke  any  legal  remedies  to
dispossess Grantor.

     (c) OPERATION OF  COLLATERAL.  Hold,  lease,  develop,  manage,  operate or
otherwise use the Collateral  upon such terms and conditions as Beneficiary  may
deem  reasonable  under  the  circumstances   (including  making  such  repairs,
alterations,  additions and improvements and taking other actions,  from time to
time, as  Beneficiary  deems  necessary or  desirable),  and apply all Rents and
other amounts collected by Beneficiary or, as applicable,  Trustee in connection
therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7.

     (d) FORECLOSURE AND SALE. To the greatest extent  permitted by law, sell or
offer for sale the Collateral in such portions, order and parcels as Beneficiary
may  determine,  with or without  having first taken  possession of same, to the
highest bidder for cash at public auction. Such sale shall be made in accordance
with the laws of the State of California  relating to the sale of real estate or
by Article 9 of the UCC relating to the sale of  collateral  after  default by a
debtor (as such laws now exist or may be hereafter amended or succeeded),  or by
any other present or subsequent  articles or enactments  relating to same.  With
respect to any notices  required or permitted under the UCC, Grantor agrees that
five (5) days' prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable.  At
any such sale (i) whether  made under the power herein  contained,  the UCC, any
other legal  requirement  or by virtue of any judicial  proceedings or any other
legal  right,  remedy or recourse,  it shall not be necessary  for Trustee to be
physically  present  at or to have  constructive  possession  of the  Collateral
(Grantor  shall deliver to Trustee any portion of the Collateral not actually or
constructively possessed by Trustee immediately upon demand by Trustee), and the
title  to and  right  of  possession  of any  such  property  shall  pass to the
purchaser  thereof as  completely  as if Trustee had been  actually  present and
delivered to purchaser at such sale, (ii) each instrument of conveyance executed
by Trustee shall contain a general warranty of title binding upon Grantor, (iii)
each recital  contained in any  instrument of  conveyance  made by Trustee shall
conclusively  establish the truth and accuracy of the matters  recited  therein,
including nonpayment of the Obligations,  advertisement and conduct of such sale
in the manner  provided  herein and  otherwise  by law, and  appointment  of any
successor Trustee hereunder, (iv) any prerequisites to the validity of such sale
shall be  conclusively  presumed  to have been  performed,  (v) the  receipt  of
Trustee or other party  making the sale shall be a  sufficient  discharge to the
purchaser or purchasers for its or their purchase money and no such purchaser or
purchasers,  or  its  or  their  assigns  or  personal  representatives,   shall
thereafter be obligated to see to the  application  of such purchase money or be
in any way answerable for any loss,  misapplication or  nonapplication  thereof,
and (vi) to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be completely and
irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity
of redemption, and demand whatsoever,  either at law or in equity, in and to the
property  sold and such sale shall be a perpetual  bar both at law and in equity
against Grantor, and against all other persons claiming or to claim the property
sold or any part thereof,  by,  through or under Grantor.  Beneficiary

                                       5



may be a purchaser at such sale and if  Beneficiary is the highest  bidder,  may
credit  the  portion  of  the  purchase  price  that  would  be  distributed  to
Beneficiary  against the Obligations in lieu of paying cash. Any proceeds of any
such sale or  disposition  shall not cure any Event of Default or reinstate  any
Obligation for purposes of 2924c of the California Civil Code.

     (e) RECEIVER.  Make application to a court of competent  jurisdiction  for,
and obtain  from such court as a matter of strict  right and  without  notice to
Grantor or regard to the  adequacy of the  Collateral  for the  repayment of the
Obligations,  the  appointment  of a receiver  of the  Collateral,  and  Grantor
irrevocably  consents to such appointment.  Any such receiver shall have all the
usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases,  including the full power
to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Collateral upon such terms as may be
approved  by the  court,  and shall  apply  such  Rents in  accordance  with the
provisions of Section 4.7.

     (f) OTHER. Exercise all other rights,  remedies and recourses granted under
the Loan  Documents or otherwise  available  at law or in equity  (including  an
action for specific performance of any covenant contained in the Loan Documents,
or a judgment  on the Note  either  before,  during or after any  proceeding  to
enforce this Deed of Trust).

     SECTION 36.2.  SEPARATE  SALES.  The  Collateral may be sold in one or more
parcels  and in such  manner  and  order as  Trustee,  in its sole and  absolute
discretion, may elect; and the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default
shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

     SECTION 36.3. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE, CONCURRENT AND NONEXCLUSIVE. Beneficiary
shall have all rights,  remedies and recourses granted hereunder and in the Loan
Documents and available at law or equity  (including the UCC),  which rights (a)
shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately,  successively
or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Note and the other
Loan Documents,  or against the Collateral,  or against any one or more of them,
at the sole discretion of Beneficiary, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion
therefor shall arise,  and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall
not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or
recourse,  and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.  No action by
Beneficiary or Trustee in the  enforcement of any rights,  remedies or recourses
hereunder,  under the Loan  Documents  or  otherwise  at law or equity  shall be
deemed to cure any Event of Default.  To the extent  permitted  by law,  Grantor
hereby waives and releases all procedural  errors,  defects and imperfections in
any  proceedings  instituted by Trustee or  Beneficiary  under the terms of this
Deed of Trust, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 36.4. RELEASE OF AND RESORT TO COLLATERAL. Beneficiary may release,
regardless  of  consideration  and  without the  necessity  for any notice to or
consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Collateral, any part of the
Collateral  without,  as to the  remainder,  in any  way  impairing,  affecting,
subordinating  or  releasing  the  lien  or  security  interests  created  in or
evidenced by the Loan  Documents or their  stature as a first and prior lien and
security  interest in and to the  Collateral.  For  payment of the  Obligations,
Beneficiary  may  resort  to any other  security  in such  order  and  manner as
Beneficiary may elect.

     SECTION 36.5.  WAIVER OF REDEMPTION,  NOTICE AND MARSHALLING OF ASSETS.  To
the  fullest  extent   permitted  by  law,   Grantor  hereby   irrevocably   and
unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor
by virtue of any  present or future  statute of  limitations  or law or judicial
decision exempting the Collateral from attachment,  levy or sale on execution or
providing for any  appraisement,  valuation,  stay of execution,  exemption from
civil process,  redemption or extension of time for payment,  (b) all notices of
any Event of Default or of Beneficiary's or, as applicable,  Trustee's  election
to exercise or its actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for
under  the  Loan  Documents  or at law or in  equity,  and  (c) any  right  to a
marshalling of assets  (including any rights  provided by California  Civil Code
Sections 2899 and 3433) or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

     SECTION 36.6.  DISCONTINUANCE  OF  PROCEEDINGS.  If Beneficiary  shall have
proceeded  to invoke  any right,  remedy or  recourse  permitted  under the Loan
Documents  and shall  thereafter  elect to  discontinue  or  abandon  it for any
reason,  Beneficiary  shall have the unqualified  right to do so and, in such an
event,  Grantor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with
respect to the  Obligations,  the Loan Documents,  the Collateral and otherwise,
and the rights, remedies,  recourses and powers of Beneficiary shall continue as
if  the  right,

                                       6


remedy or  recourse  had  never  been  invoked,  but no such  discontinuance  or
abandonment  shall waive any Event of Default  which may then exist or the right
of  Beneficiary  thereafter to exercise any right,  remedy or recourse under the
Loan Documents for such Event of Default.

     SECTION 36.7. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any sale of, and the
Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, operating,  insuring, leasing,
management,  operation  or other  use of the  Collateral,  shall be  applied  by
Beneficiary  or Trustee (or the receiver,  if one is appointed) in the following
order unless otherwise required by applicable law:

     (a) to the payment of the costs and  expenses of taking  possession  of the
Collateral and of holding, using, leasing, repairing,  improving and selling the
same, including (1) trustee's and receiver's fees and expenses, (2) court costs,
(3) attorneys' and accountants'  fees and expenses,  (4) costs of advertisement,
and (5) the  payment of all ground  rent,  real  estate  taxes and  assessments,
except any taxes, assessments,  or other charges subject to which the Collateral
shall have been sold;

     (b) to the payment of all amounts (including interest at the Default Rate),
other  than the unpaid  principal  balance  of the Note and  accrued  but unpaid
interest, which may be due to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents;

     (c) to the payment and  performance of the remainder of the  Obligations in
such manner and order of preference as  Beneficiary  in its sole  discretion may
determine; and

     (d) the  balance,  if any, to the payment of the persons  legally  entitled
thereto.

     SECTION  36.8.  OCCUPANCY  AFTER  FORECLOSURE.  The  purchaser  at any sale
pursuant to Section 4.1(d) shall become the legal owner of the  Collateral.  All
occupants  of the  Collateral  shall,  at the option of such  purchaser,  become
tenants  of the  purchaser  at the sale and  shall  deliver  possession  thereof
immediately  to the  purchaser  upon demand.  It shall not be necessary  for the
purchaser  at said sale to bring any action  for  possession  of the  Collateral
other  than the  statutory  action of  forcible  detainer  in any  court  having
jurisdiction over the Collateral.

     SECTION 36.9. ADDITIONAL ADVANCES AND DISBURSEMENTS; COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT.

     (a) If Grantor shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform
any act required by the Loan Documents and such failure  constitutes an Event of
Default,  then without notice to or demand upon Grantor or any other Person, and
without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Beneficiary may
have  because  of such  Event of  Default,  Beneficiary  may (but  shall  not be
obligated  to) make such  payment or perform  such act for the account of and at
the  expense  of  Grantor,  provided  that any such  action  by or on  behalf of
Beneficiary  of such  non-performance  or breach shall not be deemed to cure any
such Event of Default.  All sums  advanced and expenses  incurred at any time by
Beneficiary under this Section 4.9, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any
of the other Loan  Documents  or  applicable  law,  shall be payable  within the
Demand Period,  and shall bear interest from the expiration of the Demand Period
to and including the date of  reimbursement,  computed at the Default Rate,  and
all such sums, together with interest thereon,  shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.

     (b) Prior to the expiration of the applicable Demand Period,  Grantor shall
pay, or at  Beneficiary's  option,  reimburse  Beneficiary  and Trustee for, all
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of or incidental to
the  perfection  and  enforcement  of this  Deed of  Trust  and the  other  Loan
Documents,  or the  enforcement,  compromise or settlement of the Obligations or
any  claim  under  this  Deed of Trust  and the  other  Loan  Documents,  or for
defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary in respect  thereof,
by litigation or otherwise.  Such  expenses  shall include  reasonable  expenses
(including  the reasonable  fees and expenses of legal counsel for  Beneficiary)
incurred  in  connection   with  (i)  the   preservation   and   enforcement  of
Beneficiary's  liens and security  interests under this Deed of Trust,  (ii) the
protection,  exercise or enforcement of Beneficiary's rights with respect to the
Property including Beneficiary's rights to (1) collect or take possession of the
Property  and the  proceeds  thereof,  (2) hold the  Property,  (3)  prepare the
Property for sale or other  disposition and (4) sell or otherwise dispose of the
Property,  and (iii) the  assertion,  protection,  exercise  or  enforcement  of
Beneficiary's  rights in any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code,
including the  preparation,  filing and prosecution of (1) proofs

                                       7


of claim,  (2)  motions  for relief  from the  automatic  stay,  (3) motions for
adequate  protection,  and  (4)  complaints,  answers  and  other  pleadings  in
adversary  proceedings  by or against  Beneficiary or relating in any way to the
Property.  The duties and  obligations of Beneficiary  under this Section 4.9(b)
are in addition  to, and not in lieu of,  Beneficiary's  duties and  obligations
under Section 9.5 of the Loan Agreement.

     SECTION 36.10. NO  MORTGAGEE-IN-POSSESSION.  Neither the enforcement of any
of the  remedies  under this Article 4, the  assignment  of the Leases and Rents
under Article 5, the security  interests under Article 6, nor any other remedies
afforded to  Beneficiary  under the Loan  Documents,  at law or in equity  shall
cause   Beneficiary   or   Trustee   to  be   deemed  or   construed   to  be  a
mortgagee-in-possession of the Collateral, to obligate Beneficiary or Trustee to
lease the  Collateral  or  attempt  to do so, or to take any  action,  incur any
expense,  or perform or discharge any obligation,  duty or liability  whatsoever
under any of the Leases or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE 37.

                         ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS

     SECTION 37.1.  ASSIGNMENT.  Grantor  acknowledges  and confirms that it has
executed and delivered to  Beneficiary an Assignment of Leases and Rents of even
date (the  "Assignment  of Leases and Rents"),  intending  that such  instrument
create a present, absolute assignment to Beneficiary of, among other things, the
Leases,  Lease Guaranties and Rents.  Without limiting the intended  benefits or
the remedies  provided under the Assignment of Leases and Rents,  Grantor hereby
assigns to Beneficiary,  as further  security for the  Obligations,  the Leases,
Lease  Guaranties  and  Rents.  Upon the  occurrence  of any  Event of  Default,
Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise any or all of the remedies provided in
the Assignment of Leases and Rents and in Article 4 hereof,  including the right
to have a receiver  appointed.  If any conflict or inconsistency  exists between
the assignment of Leases,  Lease  Guaranties and Rents in this Deed of Trust and
the absolute assignment of Leases,  Lease Guaranties and Rents in the Assignment
of Leases  and Rents,  the terms of the  Assignment  of Leases  and Rents  shall
control.

     SECTION 37.2. NO MERGER OF ESTATES.  So long as any part of the Obligations
remain unpaid and undischarged,  the fee and leasehold estates to the Collateral
shall not merge,  but shall remain  separate and distinct,  notwithstanding  the
union of such estates  either in Grantor,  Beneficiary,  any lessee or any third
party by purchase or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE 38.

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

     SECTION 38.1.  SECURITY  AGREEMENT.  This Deed of Trust shall  constitute a
security  agreement under Article 9 of the UCC in each  applicable  jurisdiction
with respect to the Personal Property,  which shall be deemed to include any and
all fixtures and personal  property  included in the description of the Personal
Property,  now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor,  which might otherwise be
deemed "personal  property" and all accessions thereto and the proceeds thereof.
Grantor has granted and does hereby grant Beneficiary a security interest in the
Personal  Property and in all additions  and  accessions  thereto,  renewals and
replacements thereof and all substitutions therefor and proceeds thereof for the
purpose of securing all  Obligations  now or  hereafter  secured by this Deed of
Trust. The following provisions relate to such security interest:

     (a) The Personal Property  includes all now existing or hereafter  acquired
or  arising  equipment,   inventory,   accounts,   chattel  paper,  instruments,
documents,  deposit  accounts,  investment  property,  letter-of-credit  rights,
commercial tort claims,  supporting  obligations and general  intangibles now or
hereafter  used or procured for use in the  Collateral or otherwise  relating to
the  Collateral.  If Grantor  shall at any time acquire a commercial  tort claim
relating to the  Collateral,  Grantor shall  promptly  notify  Beneficiary  in a
writing signed by Grantor of the brief details  thereof and grant to Beneficiary
a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof.

     (b) Grantor hereby irrevocably  authorizes Beneficiary at any time and from
time to time to file in any filing  office in any UCC  jurisdiction  any initial
financing  statements and amendments thereto that (a)

                                       8


indicate  the  collateral  as "all assets used or procured  for use or otherwise
relating to" the Collateral or words of similar effect,  or as being of equal or
lesser scope or in greater detail, and to indicate the Collateral as defined, or
in a manner  consistent with the term as defined,  in this Deed of Trust and (b)
contain any other information  required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of any
such  filing  office for the  sufficiency  or filing  office  acceptance  of any
initial  financing  statement  or  amendment,  including  whether  Grantor is an
organization,  the type of organization  and any  organizational  identification
number  issued to Grantor.  Grantor  agrees to provide any such  information  to
Beneficiary  promptly upon request.  Grantor also ratifies its authorization for
Beneficiary to have filed in any filing office in any UCC  jurisdiction any like
initial  financing  statements or amendments  thereto if filed prior to the date
hereof.  Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary,  from time to time, within the Demand
Period,  any and all costs and expenses  incurred by  Beneficiary  in connection
with the  filing  of any  such  initial  financing  statements  and  amendments,
including  attorneys' fees and all disbursements.  Such costs and expenses shall
bear interest at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until
the date  repaid by Grantor,  and such costs and  expenses,  together  with such
interest,  shall be part of the Obligations and shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.

     (c)  Grantor  shall  any time  and from  time to time  take  such  steps as
Beneficiary may reasonably  request for  Beneficiary to obtain  "control" of any
Personal  Property  for which  control  is a  permitted  or  required  method to
perfect,  or to insure  priority  of, the  security  interest  in such  Personal
Property granted herein.

     (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,  Beneficiary shall have the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as well as all other rights
and remedies available at law or in equity or under this Deed of Trust.

     (e) It is intended by Grantor  and  Beneficiary  that this Deed of Trust be
effective as a financing statement filed with the applicable real estate records
as a fixture  filing  covering the  Collateral.  A description of the Land which
relates to the  Personal  Property  is set forth in  Exhibit A attached  hereto.
Grantor  is the  record  owner  of  the  Land.  Grantor  is a  Delaware  limited
partnership  with  an  organizational   identification  number,  issued  by  the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, of 2927170.

     (f) Terms  defined  in the UCC and not  otherwise  defined  in this Deed of
Trust shall have the same  meanings in this Article as are set forth in the UCC.
In the event  that a term is used in  Article  9 of the UCC and also in  another
Article of the UCC, the term used in this Article is that used in Article 9. The
term  "control,"  as used in this  Article,  has the  meaning  given in Sections
9-104, 9-105, 9-106 or 9-107 of Article 9, as applicable.

                                  ARTICLE 39.

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 39.1.  CERTAIN RIGHTS.  With the approval of  Beneficiary,  Trustee
shall have the right to select,  employ and consult with legal counsel.  Trustee
shall  have  the  right  to  rely  on  any  instrument,  document  or  signature
authorizing  or  supporting  any action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee
hereunder,  believed  by Trustee in good faith to be genuine.  Trustee  shall be
entitled to reimbursement for actual, reasonable expenses incurred by Trustee in
the performance of Trustee's  duties.  Grantor shall, from time to time, pay the
compensation due to Trustee  hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and indemnify,
defend and save Trustee harmless against,  all liability and reasonable expenses
which may be  incurred  by  Trustee  in the  performance  of  Trustee's  duties,
including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of
Trustee;  however, Grantor shall not be liable under such indemnification to the
extent such liability or expenses result solely from Trustee's gross  negligence
or willful misconduct  hereunder.  Grantor's  obligations under this Section 7.1
shall not be reduced or impaired by principles of  comparative  or  contributory
negligence.

     SECTION 39.2.  RETENTION OF MONEY.  All moneys  received by Trustee  shall,
until used or applied as herein provided,  be held in trust for the purposes for
which they were  received,  but need not be  segregated  in any manner  from any
other moneys (except to the extent  required by law), and Trustee shall be under
no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder.

                                       9


     SECTION 39.3. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEES. If Trustee or any successor Trustee shall
die, resign or become  disqualified  from acting in the execution of this trust,
or Beneficiary shall desire to appoint a substitute  Trustee,  Beneficiary shall
have full power to appoint one or more  substitute  Trustees  and, if preferred,
several substitute  Trustees in succession who shall succeed to all the estates,
rights,  powers and duties of Trustee.  Such  appointment may be executed by any
authorized agent of Beneficiary,  and as so executed,  such appointment shall be
conclusively  presumed  to be executed  with  authority,  valid and  sufficient,
without further proof of any action.

     SECTION 39.4.  PERFECTION OF  APPOINTMENT.  Should any deed,  conveyance or
instrument of any nature be required  from Grantor by any  successor  Trustee to
more fully and  certainly  vest in and confirm to such  successor  Trustee  such
estates, rights, powers and duties, then, upon request by such Trustee, all such
deeds,  conveyances and instruments  shall be made,  executed,  acknowledged and
delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor.

     SECTION 39.5. TRUSTEE LIABILITY.  In no event or circumstance shall Trustee
or any substitute Trustee hereunder be personally liable under or as a result of
this  Deed of  Trust,  either  as a result  of any  action  by  Trustee  (or any
substitute Trustee) in the exercise of the powers hereby granted or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE 40.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 40.1.  NOTICES.  Any notice required or permitted to be given under
this Deed of Trust shall be in writing and either  shall be mailed by  certified

Beneficiary,  Trustee or Grantor,  as the case may be. Any party may designate a
change of  address  by  written  notice to the other by giving at least ten (10)
days prior written notice of such change of address.

     SECTION  40.2.  COVENANTS  RUNNING  WITH  THE  PROPERTY.   All  Obligations
contained in this Deed of Trust are intended by Grantor, Beneficiary and Trustee
to be, and shall be construed as, covenants  running with the Property.  As used
herein,  "Grantor" shall refer to the party named in the first paragraph of this
Deed of Trust and to any subsequent  owner of all or any portion of the Property
(without in any way implying  that  Beneficiary  has or will consent to any such
conveyance or transfer of the Property). All persons or entities who may have or
acquire an  interest in the  Property  shall be deemed to have notice of, and be
bound by, the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; however,
no such party  shall be  entitled  to any rights  thereunder  without  the prior
written consent of Beneficiary (which may be issued or withheld in Beneficiary's
sole and absolute discretion).

     SECTION  40.3.   ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.   Grantor  hereby  irrevocably  appoints
Beneficiary  and its  successors  and assigns,  as its  attorney-in-fact,  which
agency is coupled with an interest,  (a) to execute and/or record any notices of
completion,  cessation of labor,  or any other  notices that  Beneficiary  deems
appropriate to protect  Beneficiary's  interest,  if Grantor shall fail to do so
within ten (10) days after written request by Beneficiary, (b) upon the issuance
of a deed pursuant to the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the delivery of a

necessary or desirable  for such  purpose,  (c) to prepare,  execute and file or
record  financing   statements,   continuation   statements,   applications  for

Grantor  hereunder  or under  any of the  other  Loan  Documents;  however:  (1)
Beneficiary  shall not under

                                       10


any  circumstances  be obligated to perform any  obligation of Grantor;  (2) any
sums advanced by Beneficiary in such performance  shall be added to and included
in the  Obligations  and  shall  bear  interest  at the  Default  Rate  from the
expiration  of  the  applicable  Demand  Period  until  paid  by  Grantor;   (3)
Beneficiary as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as

upon and inure to the  benefit of  Beneficiary,  Trustee  and  Grantor and their
respective  successors and assigns  provided that Grantor shall not, without the
prior  written  consent of  Beneficiary  (which may be  granted or  withheld  in
Beneficiary's  sole and  absolute  discretion),  assign  any  rights,  duties or
obligations hereunder.

     SECTION 40.5. NO WAIVER.  Any failure by Trustee or  Beneficiary  to insist
upon strict  performance  of any of the terms,  provisions  or conditions of the
Loan  Documents  shall  not be deemed to be a waiver  of same,  and  Trustee  or
Beneficiary  shall have the right at any time to insist upon strict  performance
of all of such terms, provisions and conditions.

     SECTION  40.6.  SUBROGATION.  To the extent  proceeds of the Note have been
used to extinguish,  extend or renew any  indebtedness  against the  Collateral,
then Beneficiary  shall be subrogated to all of the rights,  liens and interests
existing against the Collateral and held by the holder of such  indebtedness and
such  former  rights,  liens and  interests,  if any,  are not  waived,  but are
continued in full force and effect in favor of Beneficiary.

between  this Deed of Trust and the Loan  Agreement,  the Loan  Agreement  shall
govern.

indefeasible  payment  and  performance  of  the  Obligations,  Beneficiary,  at

this Deed of Trust or reconvey the Collateral to Grantor.

     SECTION  40.9.  WAIVER OF STAY,  MORATORIUM  AND  SIMILAR  RIGHTS.  Grantor
agrees,  to the full extent that it may  lawfully do so, that it will not at any
time  insist  upon or plead or in any way take  advantage  of any  appraisement,
valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension,  redemption or moratorium law
now or hereafter in force and effect so as to prevent or hinder the  enforcement
of the provisions of this Deed of Trust or the indebtedness  secured hereby,  or
any  agreement  between  Grantor  and  Beneficiary  or any rights or remedies of
Beneficiary.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  as an  inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrower,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

     1. DEFINITIONS.

     (a) As used herein, the term "RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS" means, collectively (i)
any and all liabilities,  costs, losses,  damages,  expenses or claims which are
suffered  or  incurred  by Lender and for which  Borrower  has  liability  under
Section  10.1(b)(ii)  of  the  Loan  Agreement,  and  (ii)  for  which  Carveout
Indemnitor has liability under this Agreement.



     (b) All  capitalized  terms  used and not  defined  herein  shall  have the
respective meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

     (c) Unless otherwise  noted, all "Section"  references shall be to Sections
of this  Agreement.  All uses of the word  "including"  shall  mean  "including,
without  limitation"  unless  the  context  shall  indicate  otherwise.   Unless
otherwise  specified,  the words "hereof," "herein" and "hereunder" and words of
similar  import when used in this  Agreement  shall refer to this Agreement as a
whole and not to any particular  provision of this Agreement.  Unless  otherwise
specified,  all  meanings  attributed  to defined  terms herein shall be equally
applicable  to both the singular  and plural forms of the terms so defined.  All
references to the Loan  Documents  shall mean such document as it is constituted
as of  the  date  hereof,  as  the  same  may be  amended,  restated,  replaced,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

     2.  INDEMNIFICATION.  Carveout Indemnitor hereby  indemnifies,  defends and
holds harmless Lender from and against any and all  liabilities,  costs,  losses
(including any reduction in value of any Property or any other Collateral or the
loss of  Lender's  security  interest  therein),  damages,  expenses  (including
reasonable  attorneys'  fees and  disbursements,  and court costs,  if any),  or
claims  suffered or incurred by Lender by reason of or in connection with any of
the following:

          (A) Any fraud  committed by any Borrower Party in connection  with the
     Loan;

          (B)  Any  material  misrepresentation  contained  in any  of the  Loan
     Documents or any report furnished  pursuant to any of the Loan Documents by
     any Borrower Party;

          (C) The failure by Borrower to maintain  insurance in accordance  with
     Section 3.1 of the Loan Agreement;

          (D) The  failure of any  Borrower  Party to apply  Operating  Revenues
     received by any  Borrower  Party to pay Debt  Service,  Impounds  (if any),
     Operating  Expenses   (including  in  fulfilling  the  obligations  of  any
     Individual  Borrower  as  "landlord"  under any Lease) and  reasonable  and
     necessary  capital   expenditures  or  costs  during  the  12-month  period
     immediately  preceding the  occurrence  of the Event of Default  triggering
     Lender's exercise of remedies;  provided, however, that Carveout Indemnitor
     shall  not  have  liability  under  this  subparagraph  (D) to  the  extent
     Operating   Revenues  generated  during  the  12-month  period  immediately
     preceding  the  occurrence  of the  Event of  Default  triggering  Lender's
     exercise of remedies  were not  sufficient  to pay in full all such amounts
     and all Operating  Revenues so received by any Borrower  Party were applied
     to pay such amounts to the full extent of Operating Revenues so received;

          (E) The misappropriation of any Net Proceeds or condemnation awards by
     any Borrower Party;

          (F) The failure of any Borrower  Party to (x)  properly  apply any and
     all security  deposits held by any Borrower Party, (y) properly return same
     to Tenants  when due,  or (z)  deliver  security  deposits  to Lender,  any
     receiver or any Person  purchasing  any  Property or any part  thereof at a
     foreclosure  sale or upon the taking of  possession of such Property or any
     part  thereof by Lender,  such  receiver  or such other  Person;  provided,
     however,  that Carveout  Indemnitor shall not have the liability under this
     subparagraph  (F) if the  required  activity  under (z) above is limited or
     prohibited by applicable  Legal  Requirements or if Carveout  Indemnitor is
     operating under the express written direction of Lender;

          (G)  Intentional  removal or  destruction  of  property  (without  the
     concurrent  replacement  thereof with property of at least equivalent value
     and utility)  constituting any material  portion of the Collateral,  or any
     other  intentional  and material  waste of any portion of the Collateral by
     any Borrower Party;

          (H) Any Borrower  Party  contesting  or in any way  interfering  with,
     directly or indirectly,  any foreclosure  action,  Uniform  Commercial Code
     sale and/or deed in lieu of foreclosure  transaction commenced by Lender or
     with any other enforcement of Lender's rights,  power or remedies under any
     of  the  Loan  Documents  (whether  by  making  any  motion,  bringing  any
     counterclaim,  claiming  any  defense,  seeking  any




     injunction  or other  restraint,  commencing  any action,  or otherwise) in
     connection with Lender's rights arising from an Event of Default; provided,
     however,  that if any Borrower Party obtains a final,  non-appealable order
     successfully  contesting the exercise by Lender of a right or remedy,  then
     Carveout Indemnitor shall not have liability under this subparagraph (H);

          (I) Any  Borrower  Party (i)  filing a  voluntary  petition  under the
     Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law,
     or (ii) making an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

          (J) Any  Borrower  Party (i)  filing,  or joining in the filing of, an
     involuntary  petition against any other Borrower Party under the Bankruptcy
     Code or any other Federal or state  bankruptcy  or insolvency  law, or (ii)
     soliciting  or  causing  to be  solicited  petitioning  creditors  for  any
     involuntary  petition  against any other Borrower Party, or (iii) filing an
     answer  consenting  to or  otherwise  acquiescing  in  or  joining  in  any
     involuntary  petition  filed against any other  Borrower Party by any other
     Person under the Bankruptcy  Code or any other Federal or state  bankruptcy
     or  insolvency  law, or (iv) voting  adversely to Lender's  interest in any
     proceeding  under  the  Bankruptcy  Code  or any  other  state  or  Federal
     bankruptcy  or  insolvency  law which  involves any  Borrower  Party or any
     portion of the  Collateral,  or (v) consenting to or acquiescing or joining
     in an application for the appointment of a custodian,  receiver, trustee or
     examiner for any Borrower  Party or any portion of the  Collateral  (unless
     such action is at the written request of Lender).

     Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if Borrower  and any  necessary  Borrower
Parties consent, pursuant to a stipulation in form reasonably required by Lender
(to be executed by Borrower and any necessary  Borrower Parties and delivered to
Lender  within  five (5)  Business  Days  following  Lender's  request),  to the
appointment of a receiver for any Property identified by Lender (the identity of
such receiver to be designated by Lender and approved by Borrower Parties,  such
approval  not to be  unreasonably  withheld),  and no  Borrower  Party  seeks or
participates  in the removal of said  receiver  (absent a material  violation by
said receiver of the order  appointing the receiver,  in which case a substitute
receiver  designated by Lender and approved by Borrower  Parties,  such approval
not to be unreasonably  withheld,  will be appointed)  then Carveout  Indemnitor
shall  not have any  liability  under  this  Section 2 solely as a result of any
reduction  in value of any  Property or any other  Collateral  during the period
that  Lender is  pursuing  its  rights and  remedies  as a result of an Event of
Default.

     3. GUARANTY.

     (a) Carveout Indemnitor hereby irrevocably and  unconditionally  guarantees
to Lender  and its  successors  and  assigns  the prompt  and full  payment  and
performance  of the  Obligations,  as and when the same shall be due and payable
(whether by lapse of time, by  acceleration  of maturity or  otherwise),  in the
event any  prohibited  Transfer  occurs in  violation of Section 7.1 of the Loan
Agreement  (including the voluntary placement of a Lien on all or any portion of
the Collateral in violation of the Loan Documents).

     (b) This  guaranty  is an  irrevocable,  absolute,  continuing  guaranty of
payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection.  This guaranty may not
be revoked by  Carveout  Indemnitor  and shall  continue  to be  effective  with
respect to any obligations of Carveout  Indemnitor  arising or created after any
attempted revocation by Carveout Indemnitor and after (if Carveout Indemnitor is
a natural  person)  Carveout  Indemnitor's  death (in which event this Agreement
shall be binding upon  Carveout  Indemnitor's  estate and Carveout  Indemnitor's
legal  representatives  and heirs).  Carveout  Indemnitor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally   covenants  and  agrees  that,  to  the  extent  that  Carveout
Indemnitor  has any  liability or  obligations  under this  Section 3,  Carveout
Indemnitor is liable for the Obligations as a primary obligor.

     4.  OBLIGATIONS  NOT REDUCED BY OFFSET.  The liabilities and obligations of
Carveout  Indemnitor  to Lender  hereunder  shall not be reduced,  discharged or
released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense
of Carveout Indemnitor, or any other party, against Lender or against payment of
such liabilities or obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in
connection with the Obligations (or the  transactions  creating the Obligations)
or otherwise.

     5. NO DUTY TO PURSUE  OTHERS.  It shall not be  necessary  for Lender  (and
Carveout  Indemnitor hereby waives any rights which Carveout Indemnitor may have
to require Lender),  in order to enforce the obligations of Carveout  Indemnitor
hereunder,  first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower
or



others liable on the Loan or the  Obligations or any other person,  (ii) enforce
Lender's rights or exhaust any remedies  available to Lender against any portion
of any Property,  (iii) enforce  Lender's  rights against any other  guarantors,
(iv) join Borrower or any other person liable on the  Obligations  in any action
seeking to enforce this Agreement, or (v) resort to any other means of obtaining
payment of the Obligations.  Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or
take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Obligations.

     6. WAIVERS.

     (a) Carveout Indemnitor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and
hereby  waives  notice of (i) any loans or advances  made by Lender to Borrower,
(ii) acceptance of this Agreement,  (iii) any amendment or extension of the Loan
Agreement,  the Note,  the  Mortgage  or of any other Loan  Documents,  (iv) the
execution  and  delivery  by  Borrower  and  Lender of any other  loan or credit
agreement or of  Borrower's  execution and delivery of any  promissory  notes or
other  documents  arising  under the Loan  Documents or in  connection  with any
Property,  (v) the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Loan  Documents,
(vi) Lender's  transfer or disposition of the Obligations,  or any part thereof,
(vii) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of
any Property,  (viii) protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower, (ix)
any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender, and (x) generally,  all
demands and notices of every kind in connection  with this  Agreement,  the Loan
Documents,  any documents or agreements evidencing,  securing or relating to any
of the Obligations.

     (b) Carveout  Indemnitor waives all benefits and defenses it may have under
California  Civil Code Section 2810 and agrees that  Lender's  rights under this
Guaranty shall be  enforceable  even if Borrower had no liability at the time of
execution of the Loan Documents or later ceases to be liable.

     (c) Carveout  Indemnitor waives all benefits and defenses it may have under
California  Civil Code Section 2809 with respect to its  obligations  under this
Agreement and agrees that Lender's  rights under the Loan  Documents will remain
enforceable even if the amount secured by the Loan Documents is larger in amount
and more burdensome than that for which Borrower is responsible.

     (d) Carveout Indemnitor waives any rights or benefits it may have by reason
of California Code of Civil Procedure  Section 580a which could limit the amount
which Lender could  recover in a foreclosure  of any Property to the  difference
between  the amount  owing  under the Loan  Documents  and the fair value of the
property or interests  sold at a  nonjudicial  foreclosure  sale or sales of any
other real  property  held by Lender as security for the  obligations  under the
Loan Documents.

     (e) Carveout  Indemnitor waives all rights,  defenses and benefits that are
or may become available to the guarantor or other surety by reason of California
Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive.

     (f) Upon Borrower's  default under the Loan Documents,  Lender may elect to
foreclose nonjudicially on real property given by Borrower as security under the
Loan  Documents and also to exercise its rights under this  Agreement.  Carveout
Indemnitor  acknowledges that its right to seek  reimbursement from Borrower for
any amounts paid by Carveout  Indemnitor to Lender under this  Agreement will be
eliminated   if  Lender   elects  to  so  foreclose  on   Borrower's   property.
Nevertheless,  Carveout  Indemnitor  waives any such right to reimbursement  and
agrees  that a  nonjudicial  foreclosure  by Lender  against  any real  property
security owned by Borrower will not affect the enforceability of this Agreement.
In order to further  effectuate such waiver,  Carveout  Indemnitor hereby waives
all rights and defenses  arising out of an election of remedies by Lender,  even
though that election of remedies,  such as nonjudicial  foreclosure with respect
to the  security  for the  Recourse  Obligations,  has  destroyed  its rights of
subrogation and reimbursement  against Borrower by the operation of Section 580d
of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

     (g) This Agreement is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights
and defenses Carveout Indemnitor may have with respect to this Agreement because
the Recourse  Obligations  secured by real  property.  These rights and defenses
include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a,
580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Carveout Indemnitor
acknowledges having read and understood all of the provisions of Section 2856 of
the  California  Civil  Code and that such  provisions  are  applicable  to this
Agreement.  Additionally,  without  limiting the  generality  of the  foregoing,
Carveout  Indemnitor also waives




to the extent  applicable any defense based upon Lender's  election to waive its
lien  as to all  or any  security  for  the  Recourse  Obligations  pursuant  to
California Code of Civil Procedures Section 726.5 or otherwise.

     7. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. In the event that Carveout Indemnitor should breach
or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Agreement,  Carveout Indemnitor
shall,  within the Demand Period,  pay Lender all costs and expenses  (including
court costs and attorneys' fees) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or
the preservation of Lender's rights  hereunder.  The covenant  contained in this
Section 7 shall  survive the  payment  and  performance  of any  liabilities  or
obligations herewith.

     8. EFFECT OF  BANKRUPTCY.  In the event that,  pursuant to any  insolvency,
bankruptcy,  reorganization,  receivership  or other  debtor  relief law, or any
judgment,  order or  decision  thereunder,  Lender  must  rescind or restore any
payment, or any part thereof, received by Lender in full or partial satisfaction
of the  Obligations,  any  prior  release  or  discharge  from the terms of this
Agreement given to Carveout  Indemnitor by Lender shall be without  effect,  and
this  Agreement  shall remain in full force and effect.  It is the  intention of
Carveout Indemnitor that Carveout  Indemnitor's  obligations hereunder shall not
be  discharged  except  by  Carveout  Indemnitor's  full and final  payment  and
performance  of such  obligations  and then only to the  extent of such full and
final payment and performance.

     9.  BORROWER  PARTY  (PARTIES).  The term  "Borrower"  as used herein shall
include any new or successor corporation,  association,  partnership (general or
limited),  limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other organization
formed as a result of any merger,  reorganization,  sale, transfer, devise, gift
or bequest of Borrower or any interest in Carveout  Indemnitor  permitted by the
terms of the Loan Documents.

     10. NO REDUCTION IN CARVEOUT INDEMNITOR'S OBLIGATIONS.  Carveout Indemnitor
hereby  consents and agrees to each of the  following,  and agrees that Carveout
Indemnitor's  liabilities  and  obligations  under this  Agreement  shall not be
released,  diminished,  impaired,  reduced or  adversely  affected by any of the
following,  and Carveout Indemnitor waives any common law, equitable,  statutory
or other rights  (including  rights to notice) which Carveout  Indemnitor  might
otherwise have as a result of or in connection with any of the following:

     (a)  any  renewal,  extension,   increase,   modification,   alteration  or
rearrangement  of all or any part of the  Obligations,  the Loan Agreement,  the
Note, the Mortgage, the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument,
contract or  understanding  between  Borrower and Lender,  or any other  person,
pertaining  to the  Obligations,  or any  failure  of Lender to notify  Carveout
Indemnitor of any such action;

     (b) any  adjustment,  indulgence,  forbearance or compromise  that might be
granted or given by Lender to Borrower,  Carveout Indemnitor or any other Person
at any time liable for the payment of all or any portion of the Obligations;

     (c)  the  insolvency,  bankruptcy,  arrangement,  adjustment,  composition,

of the Obligations;

     (d) any dissolution of Borrower, or any other Person at any time liable for
the payment of all or any portion of the Obligations;

     (e) any sale,  lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Borrower or
Carveout Indemnitor, or any changes in the shareholders,  partners or members of
Borrower or Carveout  Indemnitor,  or any reorganization of Borrower or Carveout
Indemnitor;

     (f) the invalidity,  illegality or  unenforceability  of all or any part of
the  Obligations,  or any document or agreement  executed in connection  with or
evidencing  the  Obligations,  including  any  Loan  Document,  for  any  reason
whatsoever,  including the fact that (i) the  Obligations,  or any part thereof,
exceeds the amount permitted by law, (ii) the act of creating the Obligations or
any part thereof is ultra vires, (iii) the officers or representatives executing
the Loan  Agreement,  the Note,  the  Mortgage  or the other Loan  Documents  or
otherwise creating the Obligations acted in excess of their authority,  (iv) the
Obligations  violate  applicable  usury laws,  (v)



Borrower has valid defenses,  claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by
agreement) which render the Obligations  wholly or partially  uncollectible from
Borrower, (vi) the creation, performance or repayment of the Obligations (or the
execution,  delivery and performance of any document or instrument  representing
part of the Obligations or executed in connection with the Obligations, or given
to secure  the  repayment  of the  Obligations)  is  illegal,  uncollectible  or
unenforceable, or (vii) the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the
other Loan  Documents have been forged or otherwise are irregular or not genuine
or  authentic,  it being agreed that  Carveout  Indemnitor  shall remain  liable
hereon  regardless of whether  Carveout  Indemnitor or any other Person is found
not liable on the Obligations or any part thereof for any reason;

     (g) any full or partial  release of the  liability of Borrower with respect
to the Obligations,  or any part thereof, or of any co-guarantors,  or any other
person or entity  now or  hereafter  liable,  whether  directly  or  indirectly,
jointly,  severally,  or jointly and severally,  to pay,  perform,  guarantee or
assure the payment of the Obligations, or any part thereof, it being recognized,
acknowledged and agreed by Carveout  Indemnitor that Carveout  Indemnitor may be
required to pay the  Obligations  in full without  assistance  or support of any
other  party,  and Carveout  Indemnitor  has not been induced to enter into this
Agreement on the basis of a  contemplation,  belief,  understanding or agreement
that other  persons  will be liable to pay or perform the  Obligations,  or that
Lender  will  look to each  and  every  Carveout  Indemnitor  or any  individual
Carveout Indemnitor to pay or perform the Obligations;

     (h) the taking or accepting of any other security,  collateral or guaranty,
or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Obligations;

     (i) any release, surrender, exchange, subordination,  deterioration, waste,
loss or impairment (including negligent,  willful, unreasonable or unjustifiable
impairment) of any Property at any time existing in connection with, or assuring
or securing payment of, all or any part of the Obligations;

     (j) the alleged failure of Lender or any other party to exercise  diligence
or reasonable care in the preservation,  protection,  enforcement, sale or other
handling or treatment of all or any part of any Property, including any neglect,
delay,  omission,  failure or refusal  of Lender  (i) to take or  prosecute  any
action for the collection of any of the  Obligations,  or (ii) to foreclose,  or
initiate any action to foreclose,  or, once  commenced,  prosecute to completion
any  action  to  foreclose  upon  any  security  therefor,  or  (iii) to take or
prosecute any action in connection  with any instrument or agreement  evidencing
or securing all or any part of the Obligations;

     (k) the fact that any security,  security  interest or lien contemplated or
intended to be given,  created or granted as security  for the  repayment of the
Obligations, or any part thereof, shall not be properly perfected or created, or
shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or
lien,  it being  recognized  and agreed by  Carveout  Indemnitor  that  Carveout
Indemnitor  is  not  entering  into  this   Agreement  in  reliance  on,  or  in
contemplation of the benefits of, the validity,  enforceability,  collectibility
or value of any of the collateral for the Obligations;

     (l) any  existing or future  right of offset,  claim or defense of Borrower
against  Lender,  or any other person,  or against  payment of the  Obligations,
whether such right of offset,  claim or defense  arises in  connection  with the
Obligations (or the transactions creating the Obligations) or otherwise;

     (m) the  reorganization,  merger or  consolidation of Borrower into or with
any other corporation or entity;

     (n) any payment by Borrower to Lender is held to  constitute  a  preference
under  bankruptcy  laws,  or for any reason  Lender is  required  to refund such
payment or pay such amount to Borrower or someone else; and/or

     (o) any other  action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Loan
Documents,  the  Obligations,  or any  Property,  whether or not such  action or
omission  prejudices  Carveout  Indemnitor  or  increases  the  likelihood  that
Carveout  Indemnitor  will be  required to pay the  Obligations  pursuant to the
terms hereof,  it being the unambiguous  and  unequivocal  intention of Carveout
Indemnitor  that Carveout  Indemnitor  shall be obligated to



pay the Obligations when due as required by this Agreement,  notwithstanding any
occurrence,   circumstance,  event,  action,  or  omission  whatsoever,  whether
contemplated  or  unanticipated,  and whether or not  otherwise or  particularly
described herein,  which obligation shall be deemed satisfied only upon the full
and final payment and satisfaction of the Obligations.

     11.  REPRESENTATION,  WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF CARVEOUT  INDEMNITOR.  To
induce  Lender to enter into the Loan  Documents  and extend credit to Borrower,
Carveout Indemnitor represents and warrants to Lender and covenants as follows:

     (a) Carveout  Indemnitor  is an  affiliate  of Borrower,  is the owner of a
direct or indirect  interest in Borrower,  and has  received,  or will  receive,
direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Agreement with respect to the
Obligations;

     (b) Carveout  Indemnitor is familiar with, and has  independently  reviewed
books and records regarding the financial  condition of Borrower and is familiar
with the value of each Property intended to be serve as security for the payment
of the Note or Obligations;  however, Carveout Indemnitor is not relying on such
financial  condition  or any  Property  as an  inducement  to  enter  into  this
Agreement;

     (c)  Neither  Lender  nor any  other  Person  has made any  representation,
warranty  or  statement  to  Carveout  Indemnitor  in order to  induce  Carveout
Indemnitor to execute this Agreement;

     (d) As of the date hereof,  and after giving  effect to this  Agreement and
the contingent obligation evidenced hereby,  Carveout Indemnitor is solvent, and
has assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations,  liabilities (including
contingent  liabilities)  and debts,  and has property and assets  sufficient to
satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities;

     (e) As of the date hereof,  the  execution,  delivery and the  contemplated
performance by Carveout Indemnitor of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions  contemplated hereunder do not contravene or conflict with any law,
statute or  regulation to which  Carveout  Indemnitor is subject or constitute a
default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute
a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture,  mortgage,  deed of
trust,  charge,  lien, or any contract,  agreement or other  instrument to which
Carveout Indemnitor is a party or which may be applicable to Carveout Indemnitor
that would have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Carveout  Indemnitor.  This
Agreement and any other Loan Documents to which  Carveout  Indemnitor is a party
are legal and binding  obligations of Carveout  Indemnitor and is enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy,  insolvency or other
laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights and
subject to general principles of equity.

     (f) All  representations  and warranties made by Carveout Indemnitor herein
shall survive the execution hereof.

     (g) Any financial  statements delivered by Carveout Indemnitor to Lender as
described in Section 5.3 of the Loan Agreement are true, complete and correct in
all material respects,  with no material change as of the date hereof. Except as
disclosed in such  financial  statements,  there is (a) no  liability  (fixed or
contingent) affecting Carveout Indemnitor and (b) no litigation,  administrative
proceeding,  investigation or other legal action (including any proceeding under
any state or federal  bankruptcy or insolvency law) pending or, to the knowledge
of Carveout Indemnitor,  threatened, against Carveout Indemnitor that would have
a material  adverse effect on Carveout  Indemnitor.  Carveout  Indemnitor is not
contemplating  either  the  filing of a  petition  by it under  state or federal
bankruptcy or insolvency  laws or the  liquidation  of all or a major portion of
its assets or property,  and Carveout  Indemnitor has no knowledge of any Person
contemplating the filing of any such petition against it.

     (h) Carveout  Indemnitor  is not a party to any  agreement or instrument or
subject to any court order, injunction,  permit, or restriction which would have
a material adverse effect the business,  operations,  or condition (financial or
otherwise) of Carveout  Indemnitor.  Carveout  Indemnitor is not in violation of
any agreement which  violation would have a material  adverse effect on Carveout
Indemnitor's business, properties, or assets, operations or condition, financial
or otherwise.



     (i)  Except as  disclosed  in the third  party  reports  for each  Property
delivered  to Lender as of the date  hereof,  Carveout  Indemnitor  has,  or has
caused the  Individual  Borrowers  to have,  all  material  requisite  licenses,
permits,  franchises,   qualifications,   certificates  of  occupancy  or  other
governmental authorizations to carry on its business.

     (j) Carveout Indemnitor has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for
filing) all federal,  state and local tax returns  required to be filed and have
paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal,  state and local
taxes, charges and assessments payable by Carveout Indemnitor.

     (k) There is no material statement of fact as of the date hereof made by or
on behalf of  Carveout  Indemnitor  in any Loan  Document to which it is a party
contains  any untrue  statement  of a  material  fact.  To the best of  Carveout
Indemnitor's knowledge, there is no material fact as of the date hereof known to
Carveout  Indemnitor  which has not been  disclosed  to Lender that could have a
material  adverse  effect,  or as  far as  Carveout  Indemnitor  can  reasonably
predict,  might have a material  adverse  effect on the business,  operations or
condition (financial or otherwise) of Carveout Indemnitor.

     12.  SUBORDINATION OF ALL CARVEOUT  INDEMNITOR  CLAIMS. As used herein, the
term  "Carveout  Indemnitor  Claims"  shall  mean all debts and  liabilities  of
Borrower to Carveout Indemnitor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or
are hereafter  incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Borrower therein
be direct,  contingent,  primary,  secondary,  several,  joint and  several,  or
otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by
note,  contract,  open account, or otherwise,  and irrespective of the person in
whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may
hereafter be created,  or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be
acquired  by Carveout  Indemnitor.  Carveout  Indemnitor  Claims  shall  include
without limitation all rights and claims of Carveout Indemnitor against Borrower
(arising  as a result of  subrogation  or  otherwise)  as a result  of  Carveout
Indemnitor's payment of all or a portion of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence
of a Potential  Default or an Event of Default,  Carveout  Indemnitor  shall not
receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other party any
amount of Carveout Indemnitor Claims.

     13.  CLAIMS  IN  BANKRUPTCY.  In the  event  of  receivership,  bankruptcy,
reorganization,  arrangement,  debtor's relief, or other insolvency  proceedings
involving Borrower as debtor,  Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in
any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly
from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which
would otherwise be payable upon Carveout Indemnitor Claims.  Carveout Indemnitor
hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender receive, for
application  upon  the  Obligations,  any  such  dividend  or  payment  which is
otherwise  payable to Carveout  Indemnitor,  and which, as between  Borrower and
Carveout Indemnitor,  shall constitute a credit upon Carveout Indemnitor Claims,
then upon  payment  to Lender in full of the  Obligations,  Carveout  Indemnitor
shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments
to Lender on Carveout  Indemnitor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation
of the Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that amount of
the  Obligations  which  would  have  been  unpaid if  Lender  had not  received
dividends or payments upon Carveout Indemnitor Claims.

     14. PAYMENTS HELD IN TRUST. In the event that,  notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement,  Carveout  Indemnitor  should receive any funds,
payment, claim or distribution which are prohibited by this Agreement,  Carveout
Indemnitor  agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount  equal to the amount of
all funds,  payments,  claims or distributions  so received,  and agrees that it
shall have  absolutely  no  dominion  over the amount of such  funds,  payments,
claims or distributions  so received except to pay them promptly to Lender,  and
Carveout Indemnitor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.

     15. LIENS SUBORDINATE.  Carveout Indemnitor agrees that any liens, security
interests,  judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower's assets
securing payment of Carveout  Indemnitor Claims shall be and remain inferior and
subordinate to any liens,  security interests,  judgment liens, charges or other
encumbrances  upon  Borrower's  assets  securing  payment  of  the  Obligations,
regardless  of whether  such  encumbrances  in favor of Carveout  Indemnitor  or
Lender  presently  exist or are hereafter  created or attach.  Without the prior
written  consent of Lender  (which may be granted or withheld  in Lender's  sole
discretion),   Carveout  Indemnitor  shall  not  (i)  exercise  or  enforce  any
creditor's  right it may have against  Borrower,  or (ii) foreclose,  repossess,
sequester  or  otherwise  take  steps or  institute  any  action or  proceedings
(judicial  or  otherwise,  including  the  commencement  of, or joinder  in, any
liquidation,   bankruptcy,   rearrangement,   debtor's   relief  or   insolvency
proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages,



deeds of  trust,  security  interests,  collateral  rights,  judgments  or other
encumbrances on assets of Borrower  securing  payment of the Obligations held by
Carveout Indemnitor.

     16. MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a) WAIVER. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part
of Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,  nor shall any
single or  partial  exercise  thereof  preclude  any other or  further  exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Lender hereunder shall
be in addition to all other rights provided by law or in equity. No modification
or  waiver  of any  provision  of this  Agreement,  nor any  consent  to  depart
therefrom,  shall be  effective  unless in writing and no such consent or waiver
shall  extend  beyond the  particular  case and purpose  involved.  No notice or
demand  given in any case shall  constitute  a waiver of the right to take other
action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand.

     (b)  NOTICES.  Any  notice,  demand,  statement,  request or  consent  made
hereunder  shall be given and deemed  received in  accordance  with the terms of
Section 9.1 of the Loan Agreement.

     (c) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement  shall be governed in accordance with the
State of California and the applicable law of the United States of America.

     (d) INVALID  PROVISIONS.  If any provision of this  Agreement is held to be
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during
the term of this  Agreement,  such provision  shall be fully  severable and this
Agreement  shall be  construed  and  enforced  as if such  illegal,  invalid  or
unenforceable  provision had never comprised a part of this  Agreement,  and the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
shall not be affected by the illegal,  invalid or unenforceable  provision or by
its severance from this Agreement,  unless such continued  effectiveness of this
Agreement,  as  modified,  would be  contrary  to the basic  understandings  and
intentions of the parties as expressed herein.

     (e)  AMENDMENTS.  This  Agreement  may be amended only by an  instrument in
writing  executed  by the  party or an  authorized  representative  of the party
against whom such amendment is sought to be enforced.

     (f) PARTIES BOUND;  ASSIGNMENT;  JOINT AND SEVERAL. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors, assigns and legal representatives;  provided, however, that Carveout
Indemnitor may not,  without the prior written  consent of Lender (which consent
may be granted or  withheld  in  Lender's  sole  discretion),  assign any of its
rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder. If Carveout Indemnitor consists
of more than one person or party,  the  obligations and liabilities of each such
person or party shall be joint and several.

     (g) HEADINGS.  Section  headings are for  convenience of reference only and
shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

     (h) RECITALS.  The recital and  introductory  paragraphs  hereof are a part
hereof,  form a basis for this  Agreement  and shall be  considered  prima facie
evidence of the facts and documents referred to therein.

     (i) COUNTERPARTS.  To facilitate execution,  this Agreement may be executed
in as many  counterparts  as may be  convenient  or  required.  It shall  not be
necessary  that the  signature  of, or on behalf  of,  each  party,  or that the
signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart.
All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument. It shall not
be necessary  in making  proof of this  Agreement to produce or account for more
than a single counterpart  containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf
of, each of the parties hereto.

     (j) RIGHTS AND  REMEDIES.  If Carveout  Indemnitor  becomes  liable for any
indebtedness  owing by Borrower to Lender,  by endorsement  or otherwise,  other
than under this Agreement, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or
affected  hereby and the rights of Lender  hereunder  shall be cumulative of any
and all other rights that Lender may ever have against Carveout Indemnitor.  The
exercise  by  Lender  of any  right  or




remedy hereunder or under any other  instrument,  or at law or in equity,  shall
not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.
All rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement are cumulative  with, and
in addition to, any rights and  remedies of Lender  under any other  guaranty or
with  respect to any other  guarantor  or obligor  under any other  document  or
instrument.

     (k) Entirety.  THIS  AGREEMENT  EMBODIES THE FINAL AND ENTIRE  AGREEMENT OF
CAREVOUT   INDEMNITOR   AND  LENDER  WITH   RESPECT  TO  CARVEOUT   INDEMNITOR'S
INDEMNIFICATION  AND GUARANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE OBLIGATIONS AND SUPERSEDES ANY
AND ALL PRIOR  COMMITMENTS,  AGREEMENTS,  REPRESENTATIONS,  AND  UNDERSTANDINGS,
WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL,  RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.  THIS AGREEMENT
IS INTENDED BY CAREVOUT INDEMNITOR AND LENDER AS A FINAL AND COMPLETE EXPRESSION
OF THE TERMS OF THE  INDEMNIFICATION  AND  GUARANTY,  AND NO  COURSE OF  DEALING
BETWEEN  CAREVOUT  INDEMNITOR  AND LENDER,  NO COURSE OF  PERFORMANCE,  NO TRADE
PRACTICES,  AND  NO  EVIDENCE  OF  PRIOR,  CONTEMPORANEOUS  OR  SUBSEQUENT  ORAL
AGREEMENTS OR  DISCUSSIONS  OR OTHER  EXTRINSIC  EVIDENCE OF ANY NATURE SHALL BE
USED TO CONTRADICT, VARY, SUPPLEMENT OR MODIFY ANY TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT. THERE
ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN CARVEOUT INDEMNITOR AND LENDER.

     (l) Waiver of Right To Trial By Jury. CARVEOUT INDEMNITOR AND LENDER HEREBY
AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE  TRIABLE  OF RIGHT BY JURY,  AND
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT  THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL
NOW OR HEREAFTER  EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT,  THE LOAN AGREEMENT,  THE
NOTE, THE MORTGAGE, OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,  OR ANY CLAIM,  COUNTERCLAIM OR
OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION  THEREWITH.  THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY CARVEOUT  INDEMNITOR AND LENDER,  AND
IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS  INDIVIDUALLY  EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH
THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED
TO FILE A COPY OF THIS  PARAGRAPH IN ANY  PROCEEDING AS  CONCLUSIVE  EVIDENCE OF

4. INDEMNIFIED  RIGHTS/COOPERATION AND ACCESS. In the event that any Indemnified
Party,  based  on a  good  faith  determination,  has  reason  to  believe  that
Indemnitor  is not in material  compliance  with its  warranties,  covenants and
agreements  relating to compliance with any Environmental Laws, then (subject to
the  rights  of  Tenants),  any  Indemnified  Party  may  cause an  engineer  or
consultant  satisfactory  to such  Indemnified  Party  (in the  exercise  of its
reasonable judgment) to conduct an environmental  assessment or audit (the scope
of which shall be  determined  in the  reasonable  judgment of such  Indemnified
Party)  including  taking samples of soil,  groundwater or other water,  air, or
building  materials or any other testing requested by such Indemnified Party (in
the reasonable  judgment of such Indemnified Party) and may deliver to the other
Indemnified  Parties and Indemnitor the results of any such  assessment,  audit,
sampling or other testing.  All costs and expenses  incurred by any  Indemnified
Party pursuant to this Section 4 shall be paid by the Indemnified Parties unless

Indemnitor  is not in material  compliance  with its  warranties,  covenants and
agreements  relating to compliance with Environmental  Laws, or (ii) an Event of
Default  exists  (or  is  discovered  as a  result  of  any  such  environmental
assessment or audit), in which case the reasonable third party fees and expenses
relating to such  environmental  assessment or audit shall be paid by Indemnitor
within the Demand  Period.  Indemnitor  shall  cooperate  with and  provide  any
Indemnified  Party and any such person designated by such Indemnified Party with
access to such Property, subject to the rights of Tenants.  Indemnitor covenants
and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to protect, defend, indemnify, release
and hold  Indemnified  Parties  harmless  from and  against  any and all  Losses
imposed  upon or  incurred by or asserted  against any  Indemnified  Parties and
directly or indirectly  arising out of or in any way relating to any one or more
of the following:  (a) any presence of any Hazardous Substances in, on, above or
under any Property;  (b) any past,  present or threatened Release in, on, above,
under  or from  any  Property;  (c) any  actual,  proposed  or  threatened  use,
treatment,   storage,   holding,   existence,   disposition  or  other  Release,
generation,   production,   manufacturing,    processing,   refining,   control,
management,  abatement,  removal,  handling,  transfer or  transportation of any
Hazardous Substances on any Property;  (d) any actual or proposed Remediation at
any  time  in,  under,  on or above  any  Property;  (e) any  past,  present  or
threatened  non-compliance or violations of any  Environmental  Laws (or permits
issued  pursuant to any  Environmental  Law) in connection  with any Property or
operations  thereon,  including any failure by  Indemnitor,  any other  Borrower
Party,  and/or any Tenant or other user of any Property to comply with any order
of any Governmental Authority in connection with any Environmental Laws; (f) the
imposition,  recording or filing,  or the  threatened  imposition,  recording or
filing,   of  any   Environmental   Lien  encumbering  any  Property;   (g)  any
administrative  processes  or  proceedings  or judicial  proceedings  in any way
connected  with any matter  addressed  in this  Agreement  concerning  Hazardous
Substances;  (h) any past,  present or threatened  injury to,  destruction of or
loss of natural  resources in any way  connected  with any  Property,  including
costs to investigate  and assess Losses;  (i) any acts of Indemnitor,  any other
Borrower Party, and/or any Tenant or other user of any Property in arranging for
disposal or  treatment,  or  arranging  with a  transporter  for  transport  for
disposal or treatment,  of Hazardous Substances directly or indirectly affecting
any  Property,  at any  facility or  incineration  vessel  containing  Hazardous
Substances;  (j) any acts of Indemnitor,  any other Borrower  Party,  and/or any
Tenant or other user of any  Property  in  accepting  any  Hazardous  Substances
affecting  such  Property for  transport  to disposal or  treatment  facilities,
incineration  vessels or sites from which  there is a Release,  or a  threatened
Release of any  Hazardous  Substance  which causes the  incurrence  of costs for
Remediation;  (k) any  personal  injury,  wrongful  death,  or property or other
damage  arising under any statutory or common law or tort law theory,  including
damages  assessed  for private or public  nuisance or for the  conducting  of an
abnormally   dangerous   activity  on  or  near  any   Property;   and  (l)  any
misrepresentation  set  forth in this  Agreement  or the Loan  Agreement  or any
breach or  failure  to  perform  any  warranty,  covenant  or other  obligations
pursuant  to this  Agreement,  the  Loan  Agreement,  the  Note or the  Mortgage
concerning  Hazardous  Substances.  Nothing contained in this Section 4 shall be
deemed to indemnify the  Indemnified  Parties for their own gross  negligence or
willful   misconduct.   Any  Indemnified   Party  performing  any  environmental
assessment  or  audit  under  this  Agreement  shall  be  responsible,  at  such
Indemnified  Party's  cost and  expense,  to  promptly  restore  any  applicable
Property to the condition that existed prior to such environmental assessment or
audit as a result  of any  damage  caused  by the gross  negligence  or  willful
misconduct of such Indemnified Party.



     5. DUTY TO DEFEND AND ATTORNEYS  AND OTHER FEES AND EXPENSES.  Upon written
request by any Indemnified Party, Indemnitor shall defend itself and Indemnified
Parties (if requested by any  Indemnified  Party, in the name of the Indemnified
Party) by attorneys and other professionals  approved by the Indemnified Parties
(such  approval not to be  unreasonably  withheld)  from and against any action,
suit,  claim,  demand,  dispute or  proceeding  (collectively,  an  "Enforcement
Action") arising or in any way connected, whether directly or indirectly, to any
actual or alleged violation of the representations,  warranties and covenants in
Sections 2 and 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if (i) such Enforcement Action
involves  the  possible  imposition  of criminal  liability  on the  Indemnified
Parties,  (ii) the  assumption  or control by  Indemnitor of the defense of such
Enforcement  Action,  in the reasonable  discretion of the Indemnified  Parties,
involves a conflict  of  interest  between the  Indemnitor  and the  Indemnified
Parties with respect to such action or  proceeding,  or (iii) the  Indemnitor or
the attorneys engaged by Indemnitor have, in the reasonable determination of the
Indemnified Parties,  taken action or failed to take action which has prejudiced
the defense of the Indemnified  Parties or have failed to pursue with reasonable
diligence such defense or the  negotiation  or settlement of such defense,  then
Indemnitor  shall  be  responsible  for all of the  costs  and  expenses  of the
Indemnified  Parties in respect of such  defense of the  Enforcement  Action and
shall pay on demand or, in the sole and absolute  discretion of the  Indemnified
Parties, reimburse the Indemnified Parties for payments made, for all reasonable
fees and  disbursements  of  attorneys,  engineers,  environmental  consultants,
laboratories and other professionals  engaged by and/or on behalf of Indemnified
Parties.  Indemnitor  may not compromise or settle any such  Enforcement  Action
without the consent of  Indemnitee  (which  consent may be issued or withheld in
Indemnitee's  judgment)  unless the claimant agrees as part of the compromise or
settlement  that  the  Indemnified  Parties  shall  have  no  responsibility  or
liability  for the  payment  or  discharge  of any amount  agreed  upon or other
obligation  to take any other action or any other  exposure to liability to such
claimant.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  and at  the  option  of  Indemnified
Parties,  if Indemnified  Parties engage their own attorneys to defend them from
and against, or assist them in, any Enforcement Action, such Indemnified Parties
and their attorneys shall control the resolution of any Enforcement Action as to
themselves,  provided that no compromise or settlement  shall be entered without
Indemnitor's consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  Within
the Demand Period, Indemnitor shall pay or, in the discretion of the Indemnified
Parties, reimburse the Indemnified Parties for payments made, for all reasonable
fees and  disbursements  of  attorneys,  engineers,  environmental  consultants,
laboratories and other professionals  engaged by and/or on behalf of Indemnified
Parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.

     6. UNIMPAIRED  LIABILITY.  The liability of Indemnitor under this Agreement
shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and Indemnitor hereby consents to and
agrees to be bound by, any amendment or  modification  of the  provisions of the
Loan Agreement,  the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan  Documents.  In
addition,  the liability of Indemnitor  under this Agreement  shall in no way be
limited or impaired by (a) any  extensions of time for  performance  required by
the Loan  Agreement,  the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents,
(b) any  sale or  transfer  of all or part of any  Property,  whether  following
foreclosure of the Mortgage or otherwise,  (c) any exculpatory  provision in the
Note,  the  Mortgage,  or any of the other  Loan  Documents  otherwise  limiting
Indemnitee's  recourse  to  any  Property  or to  any  other  security  for  the
Obligations,  or limiting  Indemnitee's  rights to a deficiency judgment against
Indemnitor, (d) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties
made by Indemnitor  under the Loan  Agreement,  the Note, the Mortgage or any of
the other Loan  Documents or by Indemnitor  herein,  (e) the release,  waiver or
discharge of any  Indemnitor or any other Person from  performance or observance
of any of the agreements,  covenants, terms or condition contained in any of the
other Loan  Documents  by  operation  of law,  Indemnitee's  voluntary  act,  or
otherwise,  (f) the release or  substitution in whole or in part of any security
for the Obligations, (g) Indemnitee's failure to record the Mortgage or file any
UCC financing  statements (or Indemnitee's  improper  recording or filing of any
thereof)  or to  otherwise  perfect,  protect,  secure  or insure  any  security
interest  or lien given as security  for the  Obligations,  (h) any  exercise or
non-exercise by Indemnitee of any right or privilege under this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, or (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization,
composition,  adjustment,  dissolution,  liquidation  or other  like  proceeding
relating to any Indemnitor or any Affiliate of any Indemnitor,  or any action by
any trustee or receiver or by any court in any such proceeding; and, in any such
case,  whether  with or  without  notice  to  Indemnitor  and  with  or  without
consideration.

     7. ENFORCEMENT.

     (a)  Indemnified  Parties may enforce the  obligations of Indemnitor  under
this  Agreement  without  first  resorting  to, or  exhausting  any  security or
collateral  under,  or  without  first  having  recourse  pursuant  to,



the Loan Agreement,  the Note, the Mortgage,  or any of the other Loan Documents
or  any  Property,  through  foreclosure  proceedings  or  otherwise,  provided,
however,  that nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent  Indemnitee from suing on
the Note,  foreclosing,  or exercising any power of sale under, the Mortgage, or
exercising  any other  rights and  remedies  thereunder.  This  Agreement is not
collateral or security for the Obligations,  unless Indemnitee  expressly elects
in writing to make this  Agreement  additional  collateral  or security  for the
Obligations,  which  Indemnitee is entitled to do in its  discretion.  It is not
necessary  for a Potential  Default or an Event of Default to have  occurred for
Indemnified  Parties  to  exercise  their  rights  pursuant  to this  Agreement.
Notwithstanding  any provision of the Loan Agreement,  the Note, the Mortgage or
any  other  Loan  Document,  the  obligations  pursuant  to this  Agreement  are
exceptions to any  non-recourse  or exculpation  provision of the Loan Documents
(including  the  terms  and  conditions  set  forth  in  Article  10 of the Loan
Agreement) and Indemnitor is fully and personally  liable for such  obligations,
and such liability is not limited to the original or amortized principal balance
of the Loan or the value of any Property.

     (b) Without  limiting any of the remedies  provided in the Loan  Documents,
Indemnitor  acknowledges and agrees that the provisions hereof are environmental
provisions  (as defined in Section  736(f)(2)  of the  California  Code of Civil
Procedure)  made by  Indemnitor  relating  to the real  property  security  (the
"Environmental Provisions").  Indemnitor's breach of or a failure to comply with
the  Environmental  Provisions shall  constitute a breach of contract  entitling
Indemnitee to all remedies  provided under Section 736 of the California Code of
Civil  Procedure  ("Section  736")  for  the  recovery  of  damages  and for the
enforcement  of  the   Environmental   Provisions.   Pursuant  to  Section  736,
Indemnitee's  action for recovery of damages or enforcement of the Environmental
Provisions  shall not  constitute an action within the meaning of Section 726(a)
of the California  Code of Civil  Procedure or constitute a money judgment for a
deficiency or a deficiency  judgment  within the meaning of Section 580a,  580b,
580d, or 726(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Other than the remedy
provided under Section 736, all remedies  provided for by the Loan Documents are
separate and distinct causes of action that are not abrogated, modified, limited
or  otherwise  affected by the remedies  provided  under  Section  736(a) of the
California Code of Civil Procedure.

     8. SURVIVAL.  The  obligations  and  liabilities  of Indemnitor  under this
Agreement  shall fully survive  indefinitely  notwithstanding  any  termination,
satisfaction,  assignment,  entry of a judgment of foreclosure,  exercise of any
power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage.

     9.  AMOUNTS  PAYABLE;  INTEREST.  Any  amounts  payable to any  Indemnified
Parties  under this  Agreement  shall  become due and payable  within the Demand
Period,  and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the  expiration of the
Demand  Period  until paid in full.  Wherever  pursuant to this  Agreement it is
provided that  Indemnitor  pay any costs and  expenses,  such costs and expenses
shall  include legal fees and  disbursements  of  Indemnified  Parties and shall
include reimbursements for the expenses of the in-house staff.

     10. WAIVERS.  Indemnitor  hereby: (i) waives any right or claim of right to
cause a  marshaling  of  Indemnitor's  assets  or to cause  Indemnitee  or other
Indemnified  Parties to proceed  against any of the security for the Loan before
proceeding under this Agreement against Indemnitor; (ii) relinquishes all rights
and remedies accorded by law to indemnitors or guarantors,  except any rights of
subrogation which Indemnitor may have,  provided that the indemnity provided for
hereunder  shall neither be contingent  upon the existence of any such rights of
subrogation  nor  subject  to any  claims or  defenses  whatsoever  which may be
asserted in connection  with the  enforcement  or attempted  enforcement of such
subrogation  rights  including  any claim  that  such  subrogation  rights  were
abrogated by any acts of Indemnitee or other Indemnified  Parties;  (iii) waives
the  right to  assert a  counterclaim,  other  than a  mandatory  or  compulsory
counterclaim,  in any action or proceeding  brought  against or by Indemnitee or
other  Indemnified  Parties;  (iv) waives notice of acceptance hereof and of any
action taken or omitted in reliance hereon;  (v) waives presentment for payment,
demand of  payment,  protest  or notice of  nonpayment  or failure to perform or
observe,  or other  proof,  or notice or demand;  and (vi) waives all  homestead
exemption  rights  against the  obligations  hereunder  and the  benefits of any
statutes of  limitations  or repose.  Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary
contained  herein,  Indemnitor  hereby  agrees to postpone  the  exercise of any
rights of subrogation  with respect to any collateral  securing the  Obligations
until the Obligations shall have been fully and finally paid.

11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INDEMNITOR AND
INDEMNITEE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON,



ARISING OUT OF,  UNDER OR IN  CONNECTION  WITH THIS  AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL
OR WRITTEN)  OR ACTION OR ANY  EXERCISE OF THEIR  RESPECTIVE  RIGHTS  UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT  OR THE  LOAN  DOCUMENTS  OR IN ANY WAY  RELATING  TO THE  LOAN OR ANY
PROPERTY  (INCLUDING  ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL  THIS  AGREEMENT,  AND ANY
CLAIM OR DEFENSE  ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS  FRAUDULENTLY  INDUCED OR IS
OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR INDEMNITEE
TO ENTER THIS AGREEMENT.

     12.  SUBROGATION.  Indemnitor  shall take any and all  reasonable  actions,
including  institution  of legal  action  against  third  parties,  necessary or
appropriate to obtain  reimbursement,  payment or compensation from such persons
responsible  for the presence of any  Hazardous  Substances  at, in, on,  under,
above or near any  Property  or  otherwise  obligated  by law to bear the  cost.
Indemnified  Parties shall be and hereby are  subrogated to all of  Indemnitor's
rights now or hereafter in such claims.

     13. INDEMNITOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Indemnitor represents
and warrants to and for the benefit of Indemnified Parties that:

     (a) it has the full  power  and  authority  to  execute  and  deliver  this
Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; and the execution,  delivery
and  performance  of this  Agreement  by  Indemnitor  has been duly and  validly
authorized  and all  requisite  action has been taken by Indemnitor to make this
Agreement valid and binding upon Indemnitor,  and enforceable in accordance with
its terms;

     (b) its  execution  of,  and  compliance  with,  this  Agreement  is in the
ordinary  course of business of Indemnitor  and will not result in the breach of
any term or provision of the charter,  by-laws,  partnership or trust agreement,
or other governing  instrument of Indemnitor or result in the breach of any term
or provision of, or conflict with or  constitute a default  under,  or result in
the acceleration of any obligation  under,  any agreement,  indenture or loan or
credit  agreement or other  instrument  to which  Indemnitor  or any Property is
subject,  or  result  in the  violation  of any law,  rule,  regulation,  order,
judgment or decree to which Indemnitor or any Property is subject;

     (c) there is no action,  suit,  proceeding or investigation  pending or, to
Indemnitor's knowledge,  threatened against it which, either in any one instance
or in the aggregate,  may result in any material adverse change in the business,
operations,  financial condition,  properties or assets of Indemnitor, or in any
material  impairment  of the  right or  ability  of  Indemnitor  to carry on its
business  substantially  as now conducted,  or in any material  liability on the
part of  Indemnitor,  or which  would draw into  question  the  validity of this
Agreement  or of  any  action  taken  or to be  taken  in  connection  with  the
obligations  of  Indemnitor  contemplated  herein,  or which  would be likely to
impair  materially  the ability of Indemnitor to perform under the terms of this
Agreement;

     (d) it does not  believe,  nor does it have any reason or cause to believe,
that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement;

     (e)  no  approval,   authorization,   order,  license  or  consent  of,  or
registration or filing with, any governmental  authority or other person, and no
approval,  authorization or consent of any other party is required in connection
with this Agreement; and

     (f) this  Agreement  constitutes a valid,  legal and binding  obligation of
Indemnitor,  enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, subject
only to applicable bankruptcy,  insolvency and similar laws affecting the rights
of creditors generally and subject, as to enforceability,  to general principles
of equity.

     14. NO WAIVER.  No course of dealing on the part of any Indemnified  Party,
nor any failure or delay by any Indemnified Party with respect to exercising any
right, power or privilege of any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver thereof.



     15.  NOTICE OF LEGAL  ACTIONS.  Each party  hereto  shall,  within five (5)
Business Days of receipt thereof,  give written notice to the other party hereto
of (a) any notice, advice or other communication from any Governmental Authority
or any source  whatsoever  with  respect to  Hazardous  Substances  on,  from or
affecting any Property,  and (b) any legal action brought  against such party or
related to any Property,  with respect to which  Indemnitor  may have  liability
under this  Agreement.  Such notice shall comply with the  provisions of Section
18.

     16. TRANSFER OF LOAN. Indemnitee may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign
the Note, the Loan  Agreement,  the Mortgage,  this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents,  and any or all  servicing  rights  with  respect  thereto,  or grant
participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through  certificates.  Indemnitee
may forward to each Investor and each prospective Investor and any servicer, all
documents and  information  which  Indemnitee  now has or may hereafter  acquire
relating to Indemnitor and any Property,  whether  furnished by Indemnitor,  any
guarantor  or  otherwise,  as  Indemnitee  determines  necessary  or  desirable.
Indemnitor agrees to cooperate,  and agrees to cause any guarantor to cooperate,
with  Indemnitee in  connection  with any transfer made pursuant to this Section
16,  including the delivery of an estoppel  certificate and such other documents
as may be reasonably requested by Indemnitee. Indemnitor shall also furnish, and
Indemnitor  hereby  consents to Indemnitee  furnishing to such  Investors,  such
prospective  Investors or any servicer,  any and all information  concerning the
financial  condition of Indemnitor and any and all  information  concerning each
Property and the Leases as may be requested by  Indemnitee,  any  servicer,  any
Investor or any  prospective  Investor in  connection  with any  outsourcing  of
servicing,  sale, transfer or participation  interest. No exercise by Indemnitee
of any transfer  rights  pursuant to the Loan Documents shall operate to release
or diminish the duties,  obligations  or  liabilities  of Indemnitor  under this
Agreement unless any such release is expressly granted in writing by Indemnitee.

     17. DISCRETION OF INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.  Wherever pursuant to this Agreement
(i) Indemnitee (or  Indemnified  Parties)  exercises its judgment,  or any right
given to it, to approve or  disapprove  any item,  matter or course of  conduct,
(ii) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Indemnitee (or Indemnified
Parties),  or  (iii)  any  other  decision  or  determination  is to be  made by
Indemnitee (of  Indemnified  Parties),  the decision of Indemnitee to approve or
disapprove,  the  exercise of its judgment or  discretion,  all  decisions  that
arrangements,  items,  course  of  conduct  or  terms  are  satisfactory  or not
satisfactory  and all other  decisions and  determinations  made by  Indemnitee,
shall be in the sole and absolute  discretion of  Indemnitee  and shall be final
and conclusive,  except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically  provided
herein.

     18. NOTICES. All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be
made in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Loan Agreement.

     19. DUPLICATE  ORIGINALS;  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in
any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to
be an original. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts,  each of
which  counterparts  shall be deemed  an  original  instrument  and all of which
together shall constitute a single Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to
execute this Agreement,  or any counterpart hereof,  shall not relieve the other
signatories from their obligations hereunder.

     20. NO ORAL CHANGE;  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement,  and any provisions
hereof, may not be modified,  amended, waived, extended,  changed, discharged or
terminated  orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of  Indemnitor or
any Indemnified  Party. Any such  modification,  amendment,  waiver,  extension,
change,  discharge  or  termination  shall only be  effective by an agreement in
writing  signed by the  party  against  whom  enforcement  of any  modification,
amendment,  waiver, extension,  change, discharge or termination is sought. This
Agreement  constitutes the entire agreement  between the parties with respect to
the subject matter  hereof.  This Agreement is, and shall be construed to be, in
addition  to (and not in lieu of) any and all  other  duties,  responsibilities,
obligations  and/or  liability  which  Indemnitor may have to any of Indemnified
Parties pursuant to the other Loan Documents or otherwise. To the extent, if any
that the terms and  conditions  of this  Agreement  conflict  with the terms and
conditions of any of the other Loan Documents, the terms and conditions imposing
the broader duties, responsibilities, obligations and/or liability on Indemnitor
shall prevail.

     21. HEADINGS,  ETC. The headings and captions of various paragraphs of this
Agreement are for  convenience  of reference only and are not to be construed as
defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.



     22.  NUMBER AND  GENDER/SUCCESSORS  AND  ASSIGNS;  JOINT AND  SEVERAL.  All
pronouns and any  variations  thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine,
feminine,  neuter,  singular or plural as the  identity of the person or persons
referred to may require.  Without limiting the effect of specific  references in
any provision of this Agreement,  the term "Indemnitor" shall be deemed to refer
to each and every person  comprising  an  Indemnitor  from time to time,  as the
sense  of a  particular  provision  may  require,  and  to  include  the  heirs,
executors,  administrators,  legal  representatives,  successors  and assigns of
Indemnitor,  all of whom  shall be bound by the  provisions  of this  Agreement,
provided  that no  obligation  of  Indemnitor  may be  assigned  except with the
written consent of Indemnitee  (which may be granted or withheld in Indemnitee's
sole and absolute  discretion).  Each reference herein to "Indemnitee"  shall be
deemed to include its successors and assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of  Indemnified  Parties  and their  respective  successors  and assigns
forever.  If  Indemnitor  consists  of  more  than  one  person  or  party,  the
obligations  and  liabilities  of each such  person or party  shall be joint and
several.

     23.  RIGHTS  CUMULATIVE.  The  rights  and  remedies  herein  provided  are
cumulative  and not  exclusive of any rights or remedies  which  Indemnitee  has
under the Loan Agreement,  the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents or
would otherwise have at law or in equity.

     24. INAPPLICABLE PROVISIONS.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be illegal,  invalid or unenforceable,  such provision shall be fully severable;
the Agreement  shall be construed  and enforced as if such  illegal,  invalid or
unenforceable  provision  had never  comprised  a part  thereof;  the  remaining
provisions  thereof shall remain in full effect and shall not be affected by the
illegal,  invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom; and
in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added
automatically  as a part of such  Agreement a  provision  as similar in terms to
such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible to be legal,
valid and enforceable.

     25.  GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed in accordance with the
terms and provisions of the laws of the State of California.
