related restrictions on their ability to transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of

         SECTION 2.03 WARRANTY OF TITLE.

         (a) Grantor warrants that it owns and holds marketable and
indefeasible fee simple absolute title to the Real Property, and that it has
the right and is lawfully authorized to sell, convey or encumber the Property
subject only to those property specific exceptions to title recorded in the
real estate records of Arlington County, Virginia and contained in Schedule B
of the title insurance policy or policies which have been approved by
Beneficiary (the "PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS"). The Property is free from all due
and unpaid taxes, assessments and mechanics' and materialmen's liens.

         (b) Grantor further covenants to warrant and forever defend Trustee
and Beneficiary from and against all persons claiming any interest in the
Property.

         SECTION 2.04 TAXES, LIENS AND OTHER CHARGES.

         (a) Unless otherwise paid to Beneficiary as provided in SECTION 2.05
hereof, Grantor shall pay (i) all real estate and other taxes, assessments,
water and sewer charges, vault and other license or permit fees, and (ii) all
other liens, fines, penalties, interest and similar public and private claims
in excess of $50,000, which may be payable, assessed, levied, imposed upon or
become a lien on or against any portion of the Property (all of the foregoing
items are collectively referred to as the "IMPOSITION(S)"). The Impositions
shall be paid not later than ten (10) days before the dates on which the
particular Imposition would become delinquent and Grantor shall produce to
Beneficiary receipts of the imposing authority, or other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Beneficiary, evidencing the payment of the Imposition in
full. If Grantor elects by appropriate legal action to contest any
Imposition, Grantor shall first deposit cash with Beneficiary as a reserve in
an amount which Beneficiary determines is sufficient to pay the Imposition
plus all fines, interest, penalties and costs which may become due pending
the determination of the contest. If Grantor deposits this sum with
Beneficiary, Grantor shall not be required to pay the Imposition provided
that the contest operates to prevent enforcement or collection of the
Imposition, or the sale or forfeiture of, the Property, and is prosecuted
with due diligence and continuity. Upon termination of any proceeding or
contest, Grantor shall pay the amount of the Imposition as finally determined
in the proceeding or contest. Provided that there is not then an Event of
Default (as defined in SECTION 11.01 hereof), the monies which have been
deposited with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section shall be applied toward
such payment and the excess, if any, shall be returned to Grantor.

         (b) In the event of the passage, after the Execution Date, of any
law which deducts from the value of the Property, for the purposes of
taxation, any lien or security interest encumbering the Property, or changing
in any way the existing laws regarding the taxation of mortgages, deeds of
trust and/or security agreements or debts secured by these instruments, or
changing the manner for the collection of any such taxes, and the law has the
effect of imposing payment of any Impositions upon Beneficiary, at
Beneficiary's option, the Secured Indebtedness shall immediately become due
and payable. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Beneficiary's election
to accelerate the Loan shall not be effective if (1) Grantor is permitted by
law (including, without limitation, applicable interest rate laws) to, and
actually does. pay the Imposition or the increased portion of the Imposition
and (2) Grantor agrees in writing to pay or

                                       7

any such Imposition which becomes payable at any time when the Loan is
outstanding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing (but without limiting the effect of SECTION 2.04
or SECTION 3.01), until and unless an Event of Default shall exist, Grantor
shall not be required to deposit with Beneficiary with its monthly installment
either the Premiums or the portion of the Impositions consisting of water and
sewer charges and license or permit fees. Grantor will furnish to Beneficiary
bills for the Impositions and PREMIUM thirty (30) days before Impositions become
delinquent and such Premiums become due for payment. No amounts paid as
Impositions or Premiums shall be deemed to be trust funds and these funds may be
commingled with the general funds of Beneficiary without any requirement to pay
interest to Grantor on account of these funds. If an Event of Default occurs,
Beneficiary shall have the right, at its election, to apply any amounts held
under this SECTION 2.05 in reduction of the Secured Indebtedness, or in payment
of the Premiums or Impositions for which the amounts were deposited.

deposit accounts or in securities of any mutual fund offered by any
investment company or in other instruments or investments selected by
Beneficiary, including those of Beneficiary or its affiliates. If the Leasing
Funds are invested in Grantor's name with any bank or trust company or
through any other investment company other than with Beneficiary, Grantor
shall provide the written waiver of such bank, trust company or investment
company, of any right set-off against the Leasing Funds arising from the
nonpayment of other obligations of Grantor to such bank, trust company or
investment company. Grantor shall be responsible for all tax filings and
payments required with respect to interest accrued on the Leasing Funds.

Event of Default then exists, Beneficiary shall release portions of the
Leasing Funds to Grantor for the payment of TI Work and Leasing Commissions,
but not in excess of the lesser of (i) Grantor's actual out-of-pocket costs

                      CASUALTY, CONDEMNATION AND RESTORATION

         SECTION 7.01 GRANTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS. Grantor represents and warrants
as follows:

         (a) Except as expressly approved by Beneficiary in writing, no casualty
or damage to any part of the Property which would cost more than $50,000 to
restore or replace has occurred which has not been fully restored or replaced.

         (b) No part of the Property has been taken in condemnation or other
similar proceeding or transferred in lieu of condemnation, nor has Grantor
received notice of any proposed condemnation or other similar proceeding
affecting the Property.

         SECTION 7.02 RESTORATION.

         (a) Grantor shall give prompt written notice of any casualty to the
Property to Beneficiary whether or not required to be insured against. The
notice shall describe the nature and cause of the casualty and the extent of the
damage to the Property.

<PAGE>

         (b) In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property,
and regardless of whether Net Insurance Proceeds (defined below) are
available therefor, Grantor shall commence and diligently pursue to
completion the Restoration of the Property. Grantor assigns to Beneficiary
all Insurance Proceeds which Grantor is entitled to receive in connection
with a casualty whether or not such insurance is required under this Deed of
Trust. In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property, and
provided that (1) an Event of Default does not currently exist, and (2)
Beneficiary has determined that (i) there has not been an Impairment of the
Security (as defined in SUBSECTION 7.02 (c) hereof), and (ii) the repair,
restoration and rebuilding of any portion of the Property that has been
partially damaged or destroyed (the "RESTORATION") can be accomplished in
full compliance with all Requirements to the same condition, character and
general utility as nearly as possible to that existing prior to the casualty
and at least equal in value as that existing prior to the casualty, then, if
the amount of Insurance Proceeds is $100,000 or less, Grantor may hold and
disburse such proceeds, and, in the amount of Insurance Proceeds is more than
$100,000, Beneficiary shall hold and disburse the Insurance Proceeds, less
(x) the cost, if any, to Beneficiary of recovering the Insurance Proceeds
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and
adjusters' fees, and (y) any Business Income Insurance Proceeds received by
Beneficiary (the "NET INSURANCE PROCEEDS"), to Grantor for the Restoration of
the Property.

         (c) For the purpose of this ARTICLE VII, "IMPAIRMENT OF THE SECURITY"
shall mean any or all of the following: (i) any of the Leases for more than
15,000 square feet existing immediately prior to the damage, destruction,
condemnation or casualty shall have been canceled, or shall contain any
exercisable right to cancel as a result of the damage, destruction or
casualty, (ii) the casualty or damage occurs during the last year of the term
of the Loan; or (iii) Restoration of the Property is estimated to require
more than one year to complete from the date of the occurrence.

         (d) If the Net Insurance Proceeds are to be used for the Restoration
in accordance with this ARTICLE VII, Grantor shall comply with Beneficiary's
Requirements For Restoration as set forth in SECTION 7.04 below. Upon
Grantor's satisfaction and completion of the Requirements For Restoration and
upon confirmation that there is no Event of Default then existing under the
Loan Documents, Beneficiary shall pay any remaining Restoration Funds (as
defined in SECTION 7.04 below) then held by Beneficiary to Grantor.

         (e) In the event that the conditions precedent to Beneficiary's
disbursement of the Net Insurance Proceeds for the Restoration set forth in
this Section have not been met, Beneficiary may, at its option, apply the Net
Insurance Proceeds to the reduction of the Secured Indebtedness in such order
as Beneficiary may determine and Beneficiary may declare the entire Secured
Indebtedness immediately due and payable. After payment in full of the
Secured Indebtedness, any remaining Restoration Funds shall be paid to
Grantor.

         SECTION 7.03 CONDEMNATION.

         (a) If the Property or any part of the Property is taken by reason
of any condemnation or similar eminent domain proceeding, or by a grant or
conveyance in lieu of condemnation or eminent domain ("CONDEMNATION"),
BENEFICIARY shall be entitled to all compensation, awards,

                                       23

<PAGE>

damages, proceeds and payments or relief for the Condemnation ("CONDEMNATION
PROCEEDS"). At its option, Beneficiary shall be entitled to commence, appear
in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceeding or to make any
compromise or settlement in connection with such Condemnation. Grantor hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact,
which appointment is coupled with an interest, to commence, appear in and
prosecute any action or proceeding or to make any compromise or settlement in
connection with any such Condemnation.

         (b) In the event of any Condemnation of the Property, and regardless
of whether Net Condemnation Proceeds are available therefor, Grantor shall
commence and diligently pursue to completion the Restoration of the Property
that has not been taken. Grantor assigns to Beneficiary all Condemnation
Proceeds which Grantor is entitled to receive. In the event of any
Condemnation, and provided that (1) an Event of Default does not currently
exist, and (2) Beneficiary has determined that (i) there has not been an
Impairment of the Security, and (ii) the Restoration of any portion of the
Property that has not been taken can be accomplished in full compliance with
all Requirements to the same condition, character and general utility as
nearly as possible to that existing prior to the taking and at least equal in
value as that existing prior to the taking, then Beneficiary shall hold and
disburse the Condemnation Proceeds, less the cost, if any, to Beneficiary of
recovering the Condemnation Proceeds including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and adjusters' fees (the "NET
CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS"), to Grantor for the Restoration of the Property.

         (c) In the event the Net Condemnation Proceeds are to be used for
the Restoration, Grantor shall comply with Beneficiary's Requirements For
Restoration as set forth in SECTION 7.04 below. Upon Grantor's satisfaction
and completion of the Requirements For Restoration and upon confirmation that
there is no Event of Default then existing under the Loan Documents,
Beneficiary shall pay any remaining Restoration Funds (as defined in SECTION
7.04 below) then held by Beneficiary to Grantor.

         (d) In the event that the conditions precedent to Beneficiary's
disbursement of the Net Condemnation Proceeds for the Restoration set forth
in this Section have not been met, Beneficiary may, at its option, apply the
Net Condemnation Proceeds to the reduction of the Secured Indebtedness in
such order as Beneficiary may determine and Beneficiary may declare the
entire Secured Indebtedness immediately due and payable. After payment in
full of the Secured Indebtedness, any remaining Restoration Funds shall be
paid to Grantor.

         SECTION 7.04 REQUIREMENTS FOR RESTORATION. Unless otherwise
expressly agreed in a writing signed by Beneficiary, the following are the
Requirements For Restoration:

         (a) Prior to the commencement of any Restoration work (the "WORK"),

<PAGE>

cost of the restoration (collectively referred to as the "RESTORATION

         (b) Grantor shall not commence the Work, other than temporary work
to protect the Property or prevent interference with business, until Grantor
shall have complied with the requirements of SUBSECTION (A) of this SECTION
7.04. So long as there does not currently exist an Event of Default and the
following conditions have been complied with or, in Beneficiary's discretion,
waived, Beneficiary shall disburse the Restoration Funds in increments to
Grantor, from time to time as the Work progresses:

         (i) Architect shall be in charge of the Work;

     completed to that date has been completed in compliance with the

     added to all sums previously paid by Beneficiary, the requested amount
     does not exceed the value of the Work completed to the date of such
     certificate; and (B) evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary that the
     balance of the Restoration Funds remaining after making the payments
     shall be sufficient to pay the balance of the cost of the Work. Each
     Request for Payment shall be accompanied by (x) waivers of liens
     covering that part of the Work previously paid for, if any (y) a title
     search or by other evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary that no

     materials supplied in connection with the Work have been filed against
     the Property and not discharged of record, and (z) an endorsement to
     Beneficiary's title policy insuring that no encumbrance exists on or

     insuring that no encumbrance exists on or affects the Property other than
     the Permitted Exceptions.

         (c) If (i) within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any
damage, destruction or condemnation requiring Restoration, Grantor fails to
submit to Beneficiary and receive Beneficiary's approval of plans and
specifications or fails to deposit with Beneficiary, within thirty (30) days
of Beneficiary's determination that additional amounts are necessary to
accomplish the Restoration as provided in subparagraph (a) above, the
additional amount so required, or (ii) after such plans and specifications
are approved by all such governmental authorities and Beneficiary, Grantor
fails to commence promptly or diligently continue to completion the
Restoration, or (iii) Grantor becomes delinquent in payment to mechanics,
materialmen or others for the costs incurred in connection with the
Restoration, or (iv) there exists an Event of Default, then, in addition to

the law of the Commonwealth of Virginia, or take any other action as may be
allowed, at law or in equity, for the enforcement of the Loan Documents and
realization on the Property or any other security afforded by the Loan
Documents. In the case of a judicial proceeding, Beneficiary may proceed to
final judgment and execution for the amount of the Secured Indebtedness owed
as of the date of the judgment, together with all costs of suit, reasonable
attorneys' fees and interest on the judgment at the maximum rate permitted by
law from the date of the judgment until paid. If Beneficiary is the purchaser

applied against the total amount due Beneficiary; and/or

         (b) POWER OF SALE.

                                       31
<PAGE>

         (i) Direct and empower Trustees to take possession of the Property
and proceed to sell the Property, at public auction, for cash or credit, upon
any terms Trustees shall deem appropriate. Before such sale at public auction
is made, there shall first be required advertisement of the time, place and
terms of sale either (A) for at least three (3) consecutive days, or (B) once
a week for two (2) consecutive weeks, in a newspaper published or having a
general circulation in the county or city in which the Property is located,
either of which shall be at the option of Trustees. A copy of the notice of
sale shall be sent by certified mail to Grantor no less than fourteen (14)
days prior to the date of sale. Trustees shall have the right to make further
public advertisement as they deem advisable. Beneficiary may become the
purchaser of the Property so sold and no purchaser shall be required to see
to the proper application of the purchase money. Grantor agrees that in
addition to all other remedies and rights provided for in this Deed of Trust,
this Deed of Trust shall be construed to impose and confer upon the parties
hereto, and Beneficiary hereunder, all duties, right and obligations
prescribed in Section 55-59 ET SEQ. of the Code of Virginia and in effect as
of the date of the acknowledgment hereof, and further to incorporate herein
the following provisions, by the short-term references below, of Sections
55-59 ET SEQ. and 55-60 of the Code of Virginia:

         EXEMPTIONS WAIVED

         SUBJECT TO [CALL] UPON DEFAULT

         RENEWAL, EXTENSION OR REINSTATEMENT PERMITTED

         SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEE PERMITTED.

Trustees shall deliver to the purchaser at any such trustee's sale its deed,
without warranty, which shall convey to the purchaser the interest in the
Property which Grantor has or has the power to convey at the time of the
execution of this Deed of Trust, and such as it may have acquired hereafter.
The Trustee's deed shall recite the facts showing that the sale was conducted
in compliance with all the requirements of law and of this Deed of Trust,
which recital shall be prima facie evidence of such compliance and conclusive
evidence thereof in favor of bona fide purchasers and encumbrancers for value.

         (ii) If any or all of the Property or any estate or interest therein
is to be sold under the provisions of this Deed of Trust, by virtue of a
judicial sale or otherwise, it may be sold at public auction, as an entirety
or in one or more parcels, by one sale or by several sales held at one time
or at different times, with such postponement of any such sale as Trustees
may deem appropriate and without regard to any right of Grantor or any other
person to the marshaling of assets. Trustees shall hold such sale or sales at
such time or times and at such place or places, and shall make sales upon
such terms and conditions and after such previous public notice as required
by law and as Trustees may deem appropriate. Beneficiary may bid and become
the purchaser at any such sale, and shall, upon presentation of the Note or a
true copy thereof at such sale, be credited for the unpaid balance due under
the Note and any interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and any other amounts
secured hereunder or such portion of such unpaid balance or interest

                                       32

<PAGE>

or other sums evidenced by the Note and secured by this Deed of Trust as
Beneficiary may specify, against any price bid by Beneficiary thereat. The
terms of sale being complied with, Trustees shall convey to and at the cost
of the purchaser at such sale Grantor's interest in so much of the Property
as is so sold, free of and discharged from all estate, right, title or
interest of Grantor at law or in equity, such purchaser being hereby
discharged from all liability to see to the application of the purchase money.

         (iii) Upon sale of Grantor's interest in any or all of the Property,
whether under the power of sale herein granted, or by other foreclosure or
judicial proceedings, Trustees shall apply the proceeds of such sale,
together with any other sum then held as security hereunder or due under any
of the provisions hereof as part of the security of the Note after paying all
expenses of obtaining possession of the Property and all expenses of sale,
including attorneys' fees and a commission to the party making the sale equal
to the commission allowed to trustees for making sales of property under
orders or decrees of a court having competent jurisdiction; and all taxes and
assessments which Trustees or Beneficiary deem it advisable or expedient to
pay and all sums advanced, with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as such
term is defined in the Note), as herein provided to the payment of the
Secured Indebtedness and interest thereon to the date of payment, then due
and owing by Grantor to Beneficiary, including the paying over the surplus,
if any, less the expense, if any, of obtaining possession, to Grantor or any
person entitled thereto upon the surrender and delivery to the purchaser of
possession of the Property.

         (iv) Immediately upon the first insertion of any advertisement or
notice of any such sale, there shall become due and owing by Grantor all
expenses incident to such advertisement or notice, all court costs and all
expenses incident to any foreclosure proceedings brought under this Deed of
Trust or otherwise in connection with such sale, and a commission on the
total amount of the Secured Indebtedness then due and owing equal to one-half
of one percent (0.5%) of the commission allowed to trustees for making sales
of property under orders or decrees of a court having competent jurisdiction,
and no party shall be required to receive the principal, interest and
prepayment fee only of the Secured Indebtedness in satisfaction thereof
unless it is accompanied by a tender of payment of such expenses, costs and
commissions.

         (v) Notwithstanding the relationship of the parties constituting
Grantor, and as an express inducement to Beneficiary to make the loan or
loans secured hereby, and for other good and valuable consideration to
Grantor in hand paid, receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, Grantor does
hereby waive for itself (as well as all of its partners), its successors and
assigns, in the event of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, any equitable
right, otherwise available to it, in respect to marshaling of assets
hereunder.

         (vi) in the event of a sale of part of, or interest in, the Property
in satisfaction of part of the debt secured by this Deed of Trust, this Deed
of Trust shall, as to the remaining part of, or interest in, the Property,
continue as a lien for the remainder of the debt.

                                       33

<PAGE>

         (c) ENTRY. Enter into possession of the Property, lease the
Improvements, collect all Rents and Profits and, after deducting all costs of
collection and administration expenses, apply the remaining Rents and Profits
in such order and amounts as Beneficiary, in Beneficiary's sole discretion,
may elect to the payment of Impositions, operating costs, costs of
maintenance, restoration and repairs, Premiums and other charges, including,
but not limited to, costs of leasing the Property and fees and costs of
counsel and receivers, and in reduction of the Secured Indebtedness; and/or

         (d) RECEIVERSHIP. Have a receiver appointed to enter into possession
of the Property, lease the Property, collect the Rents and Profits and apply
them as the appropriate court may direct. Beneficiary shall be entitled to
the appointment of a receiver without the necessity of proving either the
inadequacy of the security or the insolvency of Grantor or any Liable
Parties. Grantor and Liable Parties shall be deemed to have consented to the
appointment of the receiver. The collection or receipt of any of the Rents
and Profits by Beneficiary or any receiver shall not affect or cure any Event
of Default.

   NOTICE - THE DEBT SECURED HEREBY IS SUBJECT TO CALL IN FULL OR THE TERMS
HEREOF BEING MODIFIED IN THE EVENT OF SALE OR CONVEYANCE OF THE PROPERTY
CONVEYED.

         SECTION 11.03 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE. In the event of a
sale of the Property pursuant to SECTION 11.02 of this Deed of Trust, to the
extent permitted by law, the Beneficiary shall determine in its sole
discretion the order in which the proceeds from the sale shall be applied to
the payment of the Secured Indebtedness, including without limitation, the
expenses of the sale and of all proceedings in connection with the sale,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses; Impositions, Premiums,
liens, and other charges and expenses; the outstanding principal balance of
the Secured Indebtedness; any accrued interest; any Prepayment Fee; and any
other amounts owed under any of the Loan Documents.

         SECTION 11.04 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. To the fullest extent permitted
by law, Grantor and Beneficiary HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY in any action, proceeding and/or hearing on any matter whatsoever
arising out of, or in any way connected with, the Note, this Deed of Trust or
any of the Loan Documents, or the enforcement of any remedy under any law,
statute, or regulation. Neither party will seek to consolidate any such
action in which a jury has been waived, with any other action in which a jury
trial cannot or has not been waived. Each party has received the advice of
counsel with respect to this waiver.

         SECTION 11.05 BENEFICIARY'S RIGHT TO PERFORM GRANTOR'S OBLIGATIONS.
Grantor agrees that, if Grantor fails to perform any act or to pay any money
which Grantor is required to perform or pay under the Loan Documents,
Beneficiary may make the payment or perform the act at the cost and expense
of Grantor and in Grantor's name or in its own name. Any money paid by
Beneficiary under this SECTION 11.05 shall be reimbursed to Beneficiary in
accordance with SECTION 11.06.

                                       34
<PAGE>

         SECTION 11.06 BENEFICIARY REIMBURSEMENT. All payments made, or funds
expended or advanced by Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of any Loan
Document, shall (a) become a part of the Secured Indebtedness, (b) bear
interest at the Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date such
payments are made or funds expended or advanced, (c) become due and payable
by Grantor upon demand by Beneficiary, and (d) bear interest at the Default
Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date of such demand. Grantor shall
reimburse Beneficiary within ten (10) days after receipt of written demand
for such amounts.

         SECTION 11.07 FEES AND EXPENSES. Grantor shall pay or, on demand,
reimburse Beneficiary for the payment of, all recording and filing fees,
abstract fees, title insurance premiums and fees, U.C.C. search fees, escrow
fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, and disbursements and such other fees and
expenses as may be reasonably incurred by Grantor or Beneficiary in
connection with the granting, administration, closing and consummation
(including, without limitation, the preparation, negotiation, delivery and
execution of this Deed of Trust, the Note, any of the other Loan Documents,
the Guaranty and the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement) of the transactions
contemplated hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or otherwise
attributable or chargeable to Grantor as owner of the Property. If
Beneficiary becomes a party (by intervention or otherwise) to any action or
proceeding affecting, directly or indirectly, Grantor, the Property or the
title thereto or Beneficiary's interest under this Deed of Trust, or employs
an attorney to collect any of the Secured Indebtedness or to enforce
performance of the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Loan
Documents, Grantor shall reimburse Beneficiary in accordance with SECTION
11.06 for all expenses, costs, charges and legal fees incurred by Beneficiary
(including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of experts and
consultants), whether or not suit is commenced.

         SECTION 11.08 WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Grantor covenants and
agrees that in no event shall Beneficiary be liable for consequential
damages, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor expressly waives
all existing and future claims that it may have against Beneficiary for
consequential damages.

         SECTION 11.09 ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints
and constitutes Beneficiary as Grantor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact,
coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, for the purpose
of taking any of the actions described herein and all acts incidental thereto
including, without limitation, the right to collect and receive the Rents and
Profits and to preserve any rights of Grantor whatsoever in respect of any
part of the Property. Grantor hereby releases, discharges and waives all
claims of any kind or nature against Beneficiary arising out of any action
taken or omission made by Beneficiary in exercising such authority. The
exercise by Beneficiary of any of its options or rights pursuant to this Deed
of Trust shall not be considered a waiver by Beneficiary of any default or
Event of Default by Grantor under the Note or this Deed of Trust or any of
the other Loan Documents.

         SECTION 11.10 INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEES. Except for gross
negligence and willful misconduct, Trustees shall not be liable for any act
or omission or error of judgment. Trustees may rely on any document believed
by it in good faith to be genuine. All money received by Trustees shall be
held in trust, but need not be segregated (except to the extent required by
law), until used or applied as provided in this Deed of Trust. Trustees shall
not be liable for interest

                                       35
<PAGE>

on the money. Grantor shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Trustees
against all liability and expenses which Trustees may incur in the
performance of its duties.

         SECTION 11.11 ACTIONS BY TRUSTEES. At any time, upon written request
of Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed of Trust and the Note for
endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any entity or
the Liable Parties for payment of the Secured Indebtedness or the effect of
this Deed of Trust upon the remainder of the Property, Trustees may take such
actions as Beneficiary may request which are permitted by this Deed of Trust
or by applicable law.

         SECTION 11.12 SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEES. Beneficiary has the power
and shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time, in its sole
discretion and without cause, to remove Trustees or any successor trustee and
to substitute and appoint another trustee or trustees (either corporate or
individual) in the place and stead of Trustees or any successor trustee, by
written instrument duly executed and recorded in the Office of the Register
of Deeds of the County where the Property is situated, which instrument shall
be conclusive proof of the proper substitution and appointment of such
successor trustee or trustees, who shall have the rights, title, estate,
powers, duties and privileges of the predecessor trustee, without the
necessity of any conveyance from such predecessor. Trustee shall have the
right to resign as trustee hereunder at any time upon not less than ten (10)
days' prior written notice to Grantor and Beneficiary, in which event Lender
shall exercise the right to appoint a successor trustee pursuant to this
Section before such resignation becomes effective.

                    GRANTOR AGREEMENTS AND FURTHER ASSURANCES

         SECTION 12.01 PARTICIPATION AND SALE OF LOAN.

         (a) Beneficiary may sell, transfer or assign its entire interest or
one or more participation interests in the Loan and the Loan Documents, the
Unsecured Indemnity Agreement and the Guaranty, at any time and from time to
time, including, without limitation, its rights and obligations as servicer
of the Loan and may issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other
securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public
offering or private placement, including depositing the Loan Documents with a
trust that may issue securities (the "Securities"). Beneficiary may forward to
each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such
Securities (collectively, the "INVESTOR"), any prospective Investor or any
rating agency rating or assigning value to such Securities, all documents and
information which Beneficiary now has or may hereafter acquire relating to
the Secured Indebtedness and to Grantor or any Liable Parties and the
Property, whether furnished by Grantor, any Liable Parties or otherwise, as
Beneficiary determines necessary or desirable.

         (b) Grantor will cooperate with the Beneficiary and the rating
agencies in furnishing such information and providing such other assistance,
reports and legal opinions as the Beneficiary may reasonably request in
connection with any such transaction. In addition, Grantor acknowledges that
Beneficiary may release or disclose to potential purchasers or transferees of
the Loan, or potential participants in the Loan, originals or copies of the
Loan Documents, title

                                       36
<PAGE>

information, engineering reports, financial statements, operating statements,
appraisals, leases, rent rolls, and all other materials, documents and
information in Beneficiary's possession or which Beneficiary is entitled to
receive under the Loan Documents, with respect to the Loan, Grantor, Liable
Parties or the Property. Grantor shall also furnish to such Investors or such
prospective Investors or such Rating Agency any and all information
concerning the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of Grantor or
any Liable Parties as may be requested by Beneficiary, any Investor or any
prospective Investor or any Rating Agency in connection with any sale,
transfer or participation interest. Grantor and Liable Parties shall provide
estoppel certificates and any other documents to such Investor, such
prospective Investors and/or such Rating Agency as may reasonably be required
by Beneficiary.

         (c) Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that, in the event
Beneficiary exercises its right to sell, transfer or assign all or part of
its interests in the Loan pursuant to this SECTION 12.01 and the Investor or
the rating agency requires the use of a lockbox agreement, Grantor shall,
within 30 days after receiving a written notice from Beneficiary thereof,
deliver to Beneficiary an active present lockbox agreement and assignment to
Beneficiary of the Rents and Profits (the "LOCKBOX AGREEMENT"). The Lockbox,
Agreement shall be in a form reasonably requested by Beneficiary and shall
require tenants under the Leases to pay all Rents and Profits directly to the
depository institution selected by Investor to accept Rents and Profits. The
Rents and Profits so paid shall be applied to pay debt service for the Loan
and any other payments required by Investor, including, without limitation,
escrows for Impositions, Premiums and other escrows; or reserves required by
Investor, due in connection with the Property and the balance, if any, shall
be returned to Grantor.

         SECTION 12.02 REPLACEMENT OF NOTE. Upon notice to Grantor of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note, Grantor will execute and
deliver, in lieu of the original Note, a replacement note, identical in form
and substance to the Note and dated as of the Execution Date. Upon the
execution and delivery of the replacement note, all references in any of the
Loan Documents to the Note shall refer to the replacement note.

         SECTION 12.03 GRANTOR'S ESTOPPEL. Within ten (10) business days
after a request by Beneficiary, Grantor shall furnish an acknowledged written
statement in form satisfactory to Beneficiary (a) setting forth the amount of
the Secured Indebtedness, (b) stating either that no offsets or defenses
exist against the Secured Indebtedness, or if any offsets or defenses are
alleged to exist, their nature and extent, (c) stating whether any default
then exists under the Loan Documents or any event has occurred and is
continuing, which, with the lapse of time, the giving of notice, or both,
would constitute such a default, and (d) any other matters as Beneficiary may
reasonably request. If Grantor does not furnish an estoppel certificate
within the 10-day period, Grantor appoints Beneficiary as its
attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver the certificate on its behalf, which
power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

         SECTION 12.04 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Grantor shall, without expense to
Beneficiary, execute, acknowledge and deliver all further acts, deeds,
conveyances, mortgages, deeds of trust, assignments, security agreements, and
financing statements as Beneficiary shall from time to time reasonably
require, to assure, convey, assign, transfer and confirm unto Beneficiary the
Property and rights conveyed or assigned by this Deed of Trust or which
Grantor may become bound to

                                       37
<PAGE>

convey or assign to Beneficiary, or for carrying out the intention or
facilitating the performance of the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the
other Loan Documents, or for filing, refiling, registering, reregistering,
recording or rerecording this Deed of Trust. If Grantor fails to comply with
the terms of this Section, Beneficiary may, at Grantor's expense, perform
Grantor's obligations for and in the name of Grantor, and Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact to do so. The
appointment of Beneficiary as attorney-in-fact is coupled with an interest.

         SECTION 12.05 SUBROGATION. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the
lien of any and all encumbrances against the Property paid out of the
proceeds of the Loan and to all of the rights of the recipient of such
payment.

                                   ARTICLE XIII
                               SECURITY-AGREEMENT

         SECTION 13.01 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Deed of Trust creates a lien
on the property. In addition, to the extent the Property is Personal Property
or fixtures under applicable law, this Deed of Trust constitutes a security
agreement under the Virginia Uniform Commercial Code (the "U.C.C.") and any
other applicable law and is filed as a fixture filing. Upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at its option, pursue any and all
rights and remedies available to a secured party with respect to any portion
of the Property, and/or Beneficiary may, at its option, proceed as to all or
any part of the Property in accordance with Beneficiary's rights and remedies
with respect to the lien created by this Deed of Trust. This financing
statement shall remain in effect as a fixture filing until this Deed of Trust
is released or satisfied of record.

         SECTION 13.02 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Grantor represents,
warrants and covenants as follows:

         (a) Grantor owns the Personal Property free from any lien, security
interest, encumbrance or adverse claim, except as otherwise expressly
approved by Beneficiary in writing. Grantor will notify Beneficiary of, and
will protect, defend and indemnify Beneficiary against, all claims and
demands of all persons at any time claiming any rights or interest in the
Personal Property.

         (b) The Personal Property has not been used and shall not be used or
bought for personal, family, or household purposes, but shall be bought and
used solely for the purpose of carrying on Grantor's business.

         (c) Grantor will not remove the Personal Property without the prior
written consent of Beneficiary, except the items of Personal Property which
are consumed or worn out in ordinary usage shall be promptly replaced by
Grantor with other Personal Property of value equal to or greater than the
value of the replaced Personal Property.

         SECTION 13.03 CHARACTERIZATION OF PROPERTY. The grant of a security
interest to Beneficiary in this Deed of Trust shall not be construed to limit
or impair the lien of this Deed

                                       38
<PAGE>

of Trust or the rights of Beneficiary with respect to any property which is
real property or which the parties have agreed to treat as real property. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, everything used in connection with the
production of Rents and Profits is, and at all times and for all purposes and
in all proceedings, both legal and equitable, shall be regarded as real
property, irrespective of whether or not the same is physically attached to
the Land and/or Improvements.

         SECTION 13.04 PROTECTION AGAINST PURCHASE MONEY SECURITY INTERESTS.
It is understood and agreed that in order to protect Beneficiary from the
effect of U.C.C. Section 9-313, as amended from time to time and as enacted
in the Commonwealth of Virginia, in the event that Grantor intends to
purchase any goods which may become fixtures attached to the Property, or any
part of the Property, and such goods will be subject to a purchase money
security interest held by a seller or any other party:

         (a) Before executing any security agreement or other document
evidencing or perfecting the security interest, Grantor shall obtain the
prior written approval of Beneficiary. All requests for such written approval
shall be in writing and contain the following information: (i) a description
of the fixtures (ii) the address at which the fixtures will be located; and
(iii) the name and address of the proposed holder and proposed amount of the
security interest.

         (b) Grantor shall pay all sums and perform all obligations secured
by the security agreement. A default by Grantor under the security agreement
shall constitute a default under this Deed of Trust. If Grantor fails to make
any payment on an obligation secured by a purchase money security interest in
the Personal Property or any fixtures, Beneficiary, at its option, may pay
the secured amount and Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the rights of the
holder of the purchase money security interest.

         (c) Beneficiary shall have the right to acquire by assignment from
the holder of the security interest for the Personal Property or fixtures,
all contract rights, accounts receivable, negotiable or non-negotiable
instruments, or other evidence of indebtedness and to enforce the security
interest as assignee.

         (d) The provisions of SUBPARAGRAPHS (B) and (C) of this SECTION
13.04 shall not apply if the goods which may become fixtures are of at least
equivalent value and quality as the Personal Property being replaced and if
the rights of the party holding the security interest are expressly
subordinated to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust in a
manner satisfactory to Beneficiary.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                             MISCELLANEOUS COVENANTS

         SECTION 14.01 NO WAIVER. No single or partial exercise by
Beneficiary, or delay or omission in the exercise by Beneficiary, of any
right or remedy under the Loan Documents shall preclude, waive or limit the
exercise of any other right or remedy. Beneficiary shall at all times have
the right to proceed against any portion of, or interest in, the Property
without waiving any

                                       39
<PAGE>

other rights or remedies with respect to any other portion of the Property.
No right or remedy under any of the Loan Documents is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy but shall be cumulative and may be
exercised concurrently with or independently from any other right and remedy
under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable law.

         SECTION 14.02 NOTICES. All notices, demands and requests given or
