ARTICLE 2

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

Section 2.1.

Grantor represents, warrants, and covenants as follows:

(a)

Payment and Performance .  Grantor will make due and punctual payment of the Secured Indebtedness.  Grantor will timely and properly perform and comply with all of the covenants, agreements, and conditions imposed upon it by this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and will not permit a default to occur hereunder or thereunder.  Time shall be of the essence in this Deed of Trust.

(b)

Title and Permitted Encumbrances .  Grantor has, in Grantor’s own right, and Grantor covenants to maintain, lawful, good and marketable title to the Property, is lawfully seized and possessed of the Property and every part thereof, and has the right to convey the same, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims, security interests, and encumbrances except for (i) the matters, if any, set forth under the heading “Permitted Encumbrances” in Exhibit B hereto, which are Permitted Encumbrances only to the extent the same are valid and subsisting and affect the Property, (ii) the liens and security interests evidenced by this Deed of Trust, (iii) statutory liens for real estate taxes and assessments on the Property which are not yet delinquent, (iv) other liens and security interests (if any) in favor of Lender, and (v) any Leases (as hereinafter defined) made in accordance with this Deed of Trust and the assignment of such Leases pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) being herein called the “Permitted Encumbrances”).  Grantor, and Grantor’s successors and assigns, will warrant generally and forever defend title to the Property, subject as aforesaid, to Grantee or its trustee and Holder and their respective successors or substitutes and assigns, against the claims and demands of all persons claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof.  Grantor will punctually pay, perform, observe and keep all covenants, obligations and conditions in or pursuant to any Permitted Encumbrance and will not modify or permit modification of any Permitted Encumbrance without the prior written consent of Holder.  Inclusion of any matter as a Permitted Encumbrance does not constitute approval or waiver by Grantee or its trustee or Holder of any existing or future violation or other breach thereof by Grantor, by the Property or otherwise.  If any right or interest of Grantee or its trustee or Holder in the Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or questioned or shall be attacked directly or indirectly, Grantee, its trustee and Holder, or any of them (whether or not named as parties to legal proceedings with respect thereto), are hereby authorized and empowered to take such steps as in their discretion may be proper for the defense of any such legal proceedings or the protection of such right or interest of Holder, including but not limited to the employment of independent counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of adverse claims.  All expenditures so made of every kind and character shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Grantor hereby promises to pay) owing by Grantor to Holder or Grantee or its trustee (as the case may be), and the party (Holder or trustee, as the case may be) making such expenditures shall be subrogated to all rights of the person receiving such payment.

(c)

Taxes and Other Impositions .  Grantor will pay, or cause to be paid, all taxes, assessments and other charges or levies imposed upon or against or with respect to the Property or the ownership, use, occupancy or enjoyment of any portion thereof, or any utility service thereto, as the same become due and payable, including but not limited to all real estate taxes assessed against the Property or any part thereof, and shall deliver promptly to Holder such evidence of the payment thereof as Holder may require.

(d)

Insurance .  Grantor shall obtain and maintain at Grantor’s sole expense: (1) mortgagee title insurance issued to Holder covering the Premises as required by Holder without exception for mechanics’ liens; (2) all-risk insurance with respect to all insurable Property, against loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, explosion, hail, tornado and such hazards as are presently included in so-called “all-risk” coverage and against such other insurable hazards as Holder may require, in an amount not less than 100% of the full replacement cost, including the cost of debris removal, without deduction for depreciation and sufficient to prevent Grantor and Holder from becoming a coinsurer, such insurance to be in builder’s risk (non-reporting) form during and with respect to any construction on the Premises in an amount of not less than Eleven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($11,500,000); (3) if and to the extent any portion of the Premises is in a special flood hazard area, a flood insurance policy in an amount equal to the lesser of the principal face amount of the Note or the maximum amount available; (4) comprehensive general public liability insurance in an amount of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), on an “occurrence” basis, for the benefit of Grantor and Holder as named insureds; (5) workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance covering all claims and liabilities, whether arising under statute, common law or civil law, in relation to the death of or injury to any of Borrower's employees or any persons deemed to be its employees, on or in connection with the Project.  This insurance must provide cover in respect of each and every claim for an amount not less than the minimum statutory requirements; (6) on or before January 1, 2008, proof of pollution insurance of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000); and (7) such other insurance on the Property as may from time to time be required by Holder (including but not limited to business interruption insurance, boiler and machinery insurance, earthquake insurance, and war risk insurance) and against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of premises similarly situated, due regard being given to the height, type, construction, location, use and occupancy of buildings and improvements.  All insurance policies shall be issued and maintained by insurers, in amounts, with deductibles, and in form satisfactory to Holder, and shall require not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Holder of any cancellation or change of coverage.  All insurance policies maintained, or caused to be maintained, by Grantor with respect to the Property, except for public liability insurance, shall provide that each such policy shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by Grantor or Holder and that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured.  If any insurer which has issued a policy of title, hazard, liability or other insurance required pursuant to this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document becomes insolvent or the subject of any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding or if in Holder’s reasonable opinion the financial responsibility of such insurer is or becomes inadequate, Grantor shall, in each instance promptly upon the request of Holder and at Grantor’s expense, obtain and deliver to Holder a like policy (or, if and to the extent permitted by Holder, a certificate of insurance) issued by another insurer, which insurer and policy meet the requirements of this Deed of Trust or such other Loan Document, as the case may be.  Without limiting the discretion of Holder with respect to required endorsements to insurance policies, all such policies for loss of or damage to the Property shall contain a standard mortgagee clause (without contribution) naming Holder as mortgagee and Loss Payee with loss proceeds payable to Holder notwithstanding (i) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in any such policy by any named insured; (ii) the occupation or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of any such policy; (iii) any foreclosure or other action by Holder under the Loan Documents; or (iv) any change in title to or ownership of the Property or any portion thereof, such proceeds to be held for application as provided in the Loan Documents.  The originals of each initial insurance policy (or to the extent permitted by Holder, a copy of the original policy and a satisfactory certificate of insurance) shall be delivered to Holder at the time of execution of this Deed of Trust, with premiums fully paid, and each renewal or substitute policy (or certificate) shall be delivered to Holder, with premiums fully paid, at least ten (10) days before the termination of the policy it renews or replaces.  Grantor shall pay all premiums on policies required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly deliver to Holder evidence satisfactory to Holder of the timely payment thereof.  If any loss occurs at any time when Grantor has failed to perform Grantor’s covenants and agreements in this paragraph, Holder shall nevertheless be entitled to the benefit of all insurance covering the loss and held by or for Grantor, to the same extent as if it had been made payable to Holder.  Upon any foreclosure hereof or transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the whole or any part of the Secured Indebtedness, all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the insurance policies referred to in this Section (including unearned premiums) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at foreclosure or other such transferee, to the extent permissible under such policies.  Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make proof of loss for, settle and adjust any claim under, and receive the proceeds of, all insurance for loss of or damage to the Property, and the expenses incurred by Holder in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be a part of the Secured Indebtedness and shall be due and payable to Holder on demand.  Holder shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any of such proceeds or for the obtaining, maintaining or adequacy of any insurance or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Grantor.  Any such proceeds received by Holder shall, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Holder, including attorneys’ fees, at Holder’s option be (1) released to Grantor, or (2) applied (upon compliance with such terms and conditions as may be required by Holder) to repair or restoration, either partly or entirely, of the Property so damaged, or (3) applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in such order and manner as Holder, in its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not due.  In any event, the unpaid portion of the Secured Indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused.  Grantor shall at all times comply with the requirements of the insurance policies required hereunder and of the issuers of such policies and of any board of fire underwriters or similar body as applicable to or affecting the Property.

(e)

Reserve for Insurance, Taxes and Assessments .  Upon request of Holder, to secure certain of Grantor’s obligations in paragraphs (c) and (d) above, but not in lieu of such obligations, Grantor will deposit with Holder a sum equal to real estate taxes, assessments and charges (which charges for the purpose of this paragraph shall include without limitation any recurring charge which could result in a lien against the Property) against the Property for the current year and the premiums for such policies of insurance for the current year, all as estimated by Holder and prorated to the end of the calendar month following the month during which Holder’s request is made, and thereafter will deposit with Holder, on each date when an installment of principal and/or interest is due on the Note, sufficient funds (as estimated from time to time by Holder) to permit Holder to pay at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date thereof, the next maturing real estate taxes, assessments and charges and premiums for such policies of insurance.  Holder shall have the right to rely upon tax information furnished by applicable taxing authorities in the payment of such taxes or assessments and shall have no obligation to make any protest of any such taxes or assessments.  To the extent permitted by law, any excess over the amounts required for such purposes shall be held by Holder for future use, applied to any Secured Indebtedness or refunded to Grantor, at Holder’s option, and any deficiency in such funds so deposited shall be made up by Grantor upon demand of Holder.  All such funds so deposited shall bear no interest, may be mingled with the general funds of Holder and shall be applied by Holder toward the payment of such taxes, assessments, charges and premiums when statements therefor are presented to Holder by Grantor (which statements shall be presented by Grantor to Holder a reasonable time before the applicable amount is due); provided, however, that, if a default shall have occurred hereunder, such funds may at Holder’s option be applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in the order determined by Holder in its sole discretion, and that Holder may (but shall have no obligation to) at any time, in its discretion, apply all or any part of such funds toward the payment of any such taxes, assessments, charges or premiums which are past due, together with any penalties or late charges with respect thereto.  The conveyance or transfer of Grantor’s interest in the Property for any reason (including without limitation the foreclosure of a subordinate lien or security interest or a transfer by operation of law) shall constitute an assignment or transfer of Grantor’s interest in and rights to such funds held by Holder under this paragraph but subject to the rights of Holder hereunder.

(f)

Condemnation .  Grantor shall notify Holder immediately of any threatened or pending proceeding for condemnation affecting the Property or arising out of damage to the Property, and Grantor shall, at Grantor’s expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings.  Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in any such proceeding and to be represented by counsel of its own choice.  Holder shall be entitled to receive all sums which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for the condemnation of the Property, or any part thereof, for public or quasi-public use, or by virtue of private sale in lieu thereof, and any sums which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for injury or damage to the Property.  Grantor shall, promptly upon request of Holder, execute such additional assignments and other documents as may be necessary from time to time to permit such participation and to enable Holder to collect and receipt for any such sums.  All such sums are hereby assigned to Holder, and shall, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Holder, including attorneys’ fees, at Holder’s option be (1) released to Grantor, or (2) applied (upon compliance with such terms and conditions as may be required by Holder) to repair or restoration of the Property so affected, or (3) applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in such order and manner as Holder, in its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not due.  In any event the unpaid portion of the Secured Indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused.  Holder shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or to exercise diligence in the collection of any such sum or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Grantor.  Holder is hereby authorized, in the name of Grantor, to execute and deliver valid acquittances for, and to appeal from, any such award, judgment or decree.  All costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) incurred by Holder in connection with any condemnation shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor (which Grantor hereby promises to pay) to Holder pursuant to this Deed of Trust.

(g)

Compliance with Legal Requirements .  The Property and the use, operation and maintenance thereof and all activities thereon do and shall at all times comply with all applicable Legal Requirements (hereinafter defined).  The Property is not, and shall not be, dependent on any other property or premises or any interest therein other than the Property to fulfill any requirement of any Legal Requirement.  Grantor shall not, by act or omission, permit any building or other improvement not subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust to rely on the Property or any interest therein to fulfill any requirement of any Legal Requirement.  No improvement upon or use of any part of the Property constitutes a nonconforming use under any zoning law or similar law or ordinance.  Grantor has obtained and shall preserve in force all requisite zoning, utility, building, health, environmental and operating permits from the governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Property.

If Grantor receives a notice or claim from any person that the Property, or any use, activity, operation or maintenance thereof or thereon, is not in compliance with any Legal Requirement, Grantor will promptly furnish a copy of such notice or claim to Holder.  Grantor has received no notice and has no knowledge of any such noncompliance.  As used in this Deed of Trust:  (i) the term “Legal Requirement” means any Law (hereinafter defined), agreement, covenant, restriction, easement or condition (including, without limitation of the foregoing, any condition or requirement imposed by any insurance or surety company), as any of the same now exists or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future; and (ii) the term “Law” means any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, license, permit, authorization, decision, order, injunction or decree, domestic or foreign.

(h)

Maintenance, Repair and Restoration .  Grantor will keep the Property in first class order, repair, operating condition and appearance, causing all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements to be promptly made, and will not allow any of the Property to be misused, abused or wasted or to deteriorate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of Holder, (i) remove from the Property any fixtures or personal property covered by this Deed of Trust except such as is replaced by Grantor by an article of equal suitability and value, owned by Grantor, free and clear of any lien or security interest (except that created by this Deed of Trust), or (ii) make any structural alteration to the Property or any other alteration thereto which impairs the value thereof. If any act or occurrence of any kind or nature (including any condemnation or any casualty for which insurance was not obtained or obtainable) shall result in damage to or loss or destruction of the Property, Grantor shall give prompt notice thereof to Holder and Grantor shall promptly, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether insurance or condemnation proceeds (if any) shall be available or sufficient for the purpose, secure the Property as necessary and commence and continue diligently to completion to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to the damage, loss or destruction.

(i)

No Other Liens .  Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of Holder, create, place or permit to be created or placed, or through any act or failure to act, acquiesce in the placing of, or allow to remain, any deed of trust, mortgage, voluntary or involuntary lien, whether statutory, constitutional or contractual, security interest, encumbrance or charge, or conditional sale or other title retention document, against or covering the Property, or any part thereof, other than the Permitted Encumbrances, regardless of whether the same are expressly or otherwise subordinate to the lien or security interest created in this Deed of Trust, and should any of the foregoing become attached hereafter in any manner to any part of the Property without the prior written consent of Holder, Grantor will cause the same to be promptly discharged and released.  Grantor will own all parts of the Property and will not acquire any fixtures, equipment or other property forming a part of the Property pursuant to a lease, license, security agreement or similar agreement, whereby any party has or may obtain the right to repossess or remove same, without the prior written consent of Holder.  If Holder consents to the voluntary grant by Grantor of any deed of trust, lien, security interest, or other encumbrance (hereinafter called “ Subordinate Lien ”) covering any of the Property or if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable as to a Subordinate Lien, any such Subordinate Lien shall contain express covenants to the effect that: (1) the Subordinate Lien is unconditionally subordinate to this Deed of Trust and all Leases (hereinafter defined); (2) if any action (whether judicial or pursuant to a power of sale) shall be instituted to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Lien, no tenant of any of the Leases (hereinafter defined) shall be named as a party defendant, and no action shall be taken that would terminate any occupancy or tenancy without the prior written consent of Holder; (3) Rents (hereinafter defined), if collected by or for the holder of the Subordinate Lien, shall be applied first to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness then due and expenses incurred in the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property in such order as Holder may determine, prior to being applied to any indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Lien; (4) written notice of default under the Subordinate Lien and written notice of the commencement of any action (whether judicial or pursuant to a power of sale) to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Lien or to seek the appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property shall be given to Holder with or immediately after the occurrence of any such default or commencement; and (5) neither the holder of the Subordinate Lien, nor any purchaser at foreclosure thereunder, nor anyone claiming by, through or under any of them shall succeed to any of Grantor’s rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Holder.
