The failure at any time of the Deed of Trust to be a valid first lien upon the Property and Improvements or any portion thereof, other than as a result of any release or reconveyance of the Deed of Trust with respect to all or any portion of the Property and Improvements pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; or Page 28 (k) Hazardous Materials. The discovery of any significant Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Property or Improvements subsequent to the Effective Date (to the extent not disclosed in the Environmental Report or otherwise disclosed in writing to Lender prior to the date of this Agreement); provided, however, if such Default is curable, but the nature of such failure is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, then if Borrower fails to commence a cure thereof within said time and thereafter fails to diligently pursue a cure thereof and fails to complete same within ninety (90) days after Lender's written demand. Any such Hazardous Materials shall be "significant" for this purpose if said Hazardous Materials, in Lender's sole discretion, have a materially adverse impact on the value of the Property and Improvements. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any Default can be cured by the payment of money directly to Lender, to Borrower's Funds Account or to any third party to reimburse same for materials or services already delivered or performed or for the purpose of delivering materials or performing services which if so done would cure said Default, the applicable cure period specified in this Agreement shall be extended by an additional sixty (60) days to allow Borrower to undertake any necessary capital calls or to seek or arrange the necessary partnership loans. 11.2. Acceleration Upon Default; Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Default specified in this Article XI, Lender may, at its sole option, declare all sums owing to Lender under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents immediately due and payable. Upon such acceleration, Lender may, in addition to all other remedies permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and at law or equity, apply any sums in the Account and Borrower's Funds Account to the sums owing under the Loan Documents and any and all obligations of Lender to fund further disbursements under the Loan shall terminate. 11.3. Disbursements to Third Parties. Upon the occurrence of a Default occasioned by Borrower's failure to pay money to a third party as required by this Agreement, Lender may but shall not be obligated to make such payment from the Loan proceeds, Borrower's Funds, or other funds of Lender. If such payment is made from proceeds of the Loan or from Borrower's Funds, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Lender, upon written demand, an amount equal to such payment. If such payment is made from funds of Lender, Borrower shall immediately repay such funds upon written demand of Lender. In either case, the Default with respect to which any such payment has been made by Lender shall not be deemed cured until such deposit or repayment (as the case may be) has been made by Borrower to Lender. 11.4. Lender's Completion of Construction. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Lender may, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Borrower, and with or without legal process, take possession of the Property and Improvements, remove Borrower and all agents, employees and contractors of Borrower from the Property and Page 29 Improvements, complete the work of construction and market for lease and lease space within the Property and/or Improvements. For this purpose, Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest. As attorney-in-fact, Lender may, in Borrower's name, take or omit to take any action Lender may deem appropriate with respect to third parties, including, without limitation, exercising Borrower's rights under all contracts concerning the Property and/or Improvements, but excluding the Loan Documents. 11.5. Lender's Cessation of Construction. If Lender determines at any time that the Improvements are not being constructed substantially in accordance with the requirements under this Agreement, then upon the occurrence of a Default therefor, Lender may, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Borrower, immediately cause all construction to cease on any of the Improvements affected by the condition of nonconformance. Borrower shall thereafter not allow any construction work, other than corrective work, to be performed on any of the Improvements affected by the condition of nonconformance until such time as Lender notifies Borrower in writing that the nonconforming condition has been corrected. 11.6. Termination or Continuation of Development and Management Agreements. Upon the occurrence of a Default wherein Lender elects to accelerate the Loan and records a notice of default to foreclose the lien of the Deed of Trust, Lender may elect to require Borrower to terminate the Development and Management Agreements (and Borrower shall immediately do so), without any termination fee or penalty, provided that all fees and expenses previously accrued thereunder up to the effective date of such termination are paid in full; provided however, so long as the Development and Management Agreements are not terminated, the respective party or parties performing services thereunder shall be entitled to continue to receive all fees and expenses owed such party or parties under the applicable Development and Management Agreements. In the event that Borrower reinstates the Loan under California law prior to the foreclosure of the lien of the Deed of Trust, such Development and Management Agreements shall be deemed to have been reinstated as of the date of such reinstatement of the Loan. 11.7. Repayment of Funds Advanced. Any funds expended by Lender in the exercise of its rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable to Lender upon demand, together with interest at the rate applicable to the principal balance of the Note from the date the funds were expended. 11.8. Rights Cumulative, No Waiver. All Lender's rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with those granted by law or at equity, are cumulative and may be exercised by Lender at any time. Lender's exercise of any right or remedy shall not constitute a cure of any Default unless all sums then due and payable to Lender under the Loan Documents are repaid and Borrower has cured all other Defaults. No waiver shall be implied from any failure of Lender to take, or any Page 30 delay by Lender in taking, action concerning any Default or failure of condition under the Loan Documents, or from any previous waiver of any similar or unrelated Default or failure of condition. Any waiver or approval under any of the Loan Documents must be in writing and shall be limited to its specific terms. ARTICLE 12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 12.1. Indemnity. BORROWER HEREBY AGREES TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS LENDER, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, COURT COSTS AND LEGAL OR OTHER EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES) WHICH LENDER MAY INCUR AS A DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF: (A) THE PURPOSE TO WHICH BORROWER APPLIES THE LOAN PROCEEDS; (B) THE FAILURE OF BORROWER TO PERFORM ANY OBLIGATIONS AS AND WHEN REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; (C) ANY FAILURE AT ANY TIME OF ANY OF BORROWER'S REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO BE TRUE AND CORRECT; OR (D) ANY ACT OR OMISSION BY BORROWER, ANY CONSTITUENT PARTNER OR MEMBER OF BORROWER, ANY CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTOR OR MATERIAL SUPPLIER, ENGINEER, ARCHITECT OR OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE PROPERTY OR IMPROVEMENTS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO BY THE BAD FAITH, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LENDER. BORROWER SHALL IMMEDIATELY PAY TO LENDER UPON DEMAND ANY AMOUNTS OWING UNDER THIS INDEMNITY, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST FROM THE DATE THE INDEBTEDNESS ARISES UNTIL PAID AT THE RATE OF INTEREST APPLICABLE TO THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THE NOTE.

Form of Documents. The form and substance of all documents, instruments, and forms of evidence to be delivered to Lender under the terms of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents shall be subject to Lender's approval and shall not be modified, superseded or terminated in any respect without Lender's prior written approval, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement. 12.3.

All communications shall be deemed served upon delivery of, or if mailed, upon receipt or rejection after the deposit in the United States Postal Service mail, certified postage prepaid-return receipt requested and addressed to the address of Borrower or Lender at the address specified; provided, however, that non-receipt of any communication as the result of any change of address of which the sending party was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt of such communication. 12.5. Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Lender, as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to execute and/or record in Lender's or Borrower's name any notices, instruments or documents that Lender deems appropriate to protect Lender's interest under any of the Loan Documents. 12.6. Actions. Borrower agrees that Lender, in exercising the rights, duties or liabilities of Lender or Borrower under the Loan Documents, may commence, appear in or defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, the Improvements, or the Loan Documents and Borrower shall immediately reimburse Lender upon demand for all such expenses so incurred or paid by Lender, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs. 12.7. Right of Contest. Borrower may contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy or assessment (other than liens and stop notices, subject to the provisions of Section 4.9 of this Agreement) by any person other than Lender which would constitute a Default if: (a) Borrower pursues the contest diligently, in a manner which Lender determines is not prejudicial to Lender, and does not impair the rights of Lender under any of the Loan Documents; and (b) Borrower deposits with Lender any funds or other forms of assurance which Lender in good faith determines from time to time appropriate to protect Lender from the consequences of the contest being unsuccessful. Borrower's compliance with this Section shall operate to prevent such claim, demand, levy or assessment from becoming a Default. 12.8. Relationship of Parties. The relationship of Borrower and Lender under the Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender, and Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any third party with respect to the Property or Improvements, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 12.9. Delay Outside Lender's Control. Lender shall not be liable in any way to Borrower or any third party for Lender's failure to perform or delay in performing under Page 32 the Loan Documents if such failure to perform or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported action, of any governmental or local authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike, lock-out, boycott or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in the sole judgment of Lender deemed probable), or from any Act of God or other cause or event beyond Lender's control. 12.10. Attorneys' Fees and Expenses; Enforcement. If any attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, or as a consequence of any Default under the Loan Documents, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, and including, without limitation, any fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy proceeding of the Borrower, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender, upon demand, the amount of all attorneys' fees and expenses and all costs incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Note as specified therein. 12.11. Immediately Available Funds.

Severability. If any provision or obligation under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of the Loan Documents, provided, however, that if the rate of interest or any other amount payable under the Note or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the right of collectibility therefor, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Lender's obligations to make advances under the Loan Documents shall not be enforceable by Borrower. 12.18.
