the Note, the Loan Agreement and in this Deed of Trust and will perform all of
the covenants of Trustor set forth in the Loan Agreement.

     2.  Warranty of Title. Subject only to those exceptions to title, if any,
         -----------------
specifically set forth in the title policy, if any, issued or to be issued to
Beneficiary and insuring the lien of this Deed of Trust, Trustor warrants its
title to the Premises (whether leasehold or fee), the Improvements, the
Equipment and the balance of the Property. Upon the recording of this Deed of
Trust, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall be a perfected lien and fixture
filing on all Property mortgaged, pledged or assigned hereunder.

     3.  Insurance. Trustor shall comply in all respects with the provisions of
         ---------
the Loan Agreement regarding (a) the maintenance of insurance, and (b) the
application of Proceeds received in connection with any insured casualty or
condemnation affecting the Premises.

     4.  Payment of Taxes; Tax Deposits.
         ------------------------------

         (a)   Trustor shall pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer
rents, utility charges and other charges, including vault charges and license
fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Premises, now
or hereafter levied or assessed against the Property (hereinafter referred to as

                                       4
<PAGE>

prior to the date upon which any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added
thereto or imposed by law for the nonpayment thereof.

          (b)  Upon demand by Beneficiary following the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Trustor will pay to Beneficiary or to Beneficiary's servicing agent
on the first day of each month, together with and in addition to the regular
payments of installments of principal and interest due under the Note, until the
indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full, an amount equal to one-twelfth
(1/12) of the yearly taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, and other similar
charges as estimated by Beneficiary or by Beneficiary's servicing agent to be
sufficient to allow the payment at least thirty (30) days before they become
due, of all taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, and other similar charges
against the Property. Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary the bill or invoice
received by it for the payment of such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums,

         ------------
authority through eminent domain or otherwise, Trustor shall continue to pay the
Obligations at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note,

and applied by Beneficiary to the discharge of the Obligations in accordance
with the Loan Agreement. Beneficiary shall apply the entire amount of any such
award or payment in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement
regarding application of Proceeds. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure
or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Beneficiary of such award or payment,
Beneficiary shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the
Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive such award or
payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Obligations, whichever is
less. Trustor shall file and prosecute its claim or claims for any such award or
payment in good faith and with due diligence and cause the same to be collected
and paid over to Beneficiary. Trustor hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers
Beneficiary and Trustee, in the name of Trustor or otherwise, to collect and
receive for any such award or payment and to file and prosecute such claim or
claims. Although it is hereby expressly agreed that the same shall not be
necessary in any event, Trustor shall, upon demand of Beneficiary, make, execute
and deliver any and all assignments and other instruments sufficient for the
purpose of assigning any such award or payment to Beneficiary and Trustee, free
and clear of any encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever.

     6.  Leases and Rents. Trustor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and
         ----------------
unconditionally assigns to Beneficiary the Leases and Rents of the Property.
Beneficiary shall have the

                                       5
<PAGE>

right to apply the Rents (after payment of all necessary expenses) to the
Obligations. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENT, NOT AN ASSIGNMENT FOR SECURITY
ONLY. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, Beneficiary and Trustee waive the
right to enter the Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents, and grant
Trustor the right to collect the Rents. Trustor shall hold the Rents, or an
amount sufficient to cover the payment of all operating expenses of the Property
and to discharge all current sums due on the Obligations, in trust for use in
payment of such current operating expenses and current sums due on the
Obligations. The right of Trustor to collect the Rents may be revoked by
Beneficiary upon any default by Trustor under the terms of the Note or this Deed
of Trust by giving notice of such revocation to Trustor. Following such notice
Beneficiary or Trustee may retain and apply the Rents toward payment of the
Obligations in such order, priority and proportions as Beneficiary, in its
discretion, shall deem proper, or to the operation, maintenance and repair of
the Property, and irrespective of whether Beneficiary or Trustee shall have
commenced a foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or a sale of the Property pursuant
to the provisions of this Deed of Trust or shall have applied or arranged for
the appointment of a receiver. Trustor shall not, without the consent of
Beneficiary, make, or suffer to be made, any Leases or modify or cancel (except
based upon a material default of the tenant) any Leases or accept prepayments of
installments of the Rents for a period of more than one (1) month in advance or
further assign the whole or any part of the Rents. Trustor shall (a) fulfill or
perform each and every provision of the Leases on the part of Trustor to be
fulfilled or performed, (b) promptly send copies of all notices of default which
Trustor shall send or receive under the Leases to Beneficiary, and (c) enforce,
short of termination of the Leases, the performance or observance of the
provisions thereof by the tenants thereunder. In addition to the rights which
Beneficiary may have herein, in the event of any default under this Deed of
Trust, Beneficiary, at its option, may require Trustor to pay monthly in advance
to Beneficiary, Trustee or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair
and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the
Property as may be in possession of Trustor. Upon default in any such payment,
Trustor will vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Beneficiary,
Trustee or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Trustor may be evicted by
summary proceedings or otherwise. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be
construed as imposing on Beneficiary or Trustee any of the obligations of the
lessor under the Leases.

     7.  Maintenance of the Property. Trustor shall cause the Property to be
         ---------------------------
maintained in good condition and repair and will not commit or suffer to be
committed any waste of the Property. The Improvements and the Equipment shall
not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement
of the Equipment), without the consent of Beneficiary. Trustor shall promptly
comply with all existing and future governmental laws, orders, ordinances, rules
and regulations affecting the Property, or any portion thereof or the use
thereof. Trustor shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild all or any part of
the Property which may be damaged or destroyed by fire or other property hazard
or casualty (including any fire or other property hazard or casualty for which
insurance was not obtained or obtainable) or which may be affected by any taking
by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise, and
shall complete and pay for, within a reasonable time, any structure at any time
in the process of construction or repair on the Premises. If such fire or other
property hazard

                                       6
<PAGE>

or casualty shall be covered by the Policies, Trustor's obligation to repair,
replace or rebuild such portion of the Property shall be contingent upon
Beneficiary paying Trustor the proceeds of the Policies, or such portion thereof
as shall be sufficient to complete such repair, replacement or rebuilding,
whichever is less. Trustor will not, without obtaining the prior consent of
Beneficiary, initiate, join in or consent to any private restrictive covenant,
zoning ordinance, or other public or private restrictions, limiting or affecting
the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof.

     8.  Environmental Agreement. Trustor hereby agrees to perform in accordance
         -----------------------
with its terms all of the provisions of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement of
even date herewith by and between, among others, Trustor and Beneficiary. This
covenant and agreement shall, notwithstanding any exculpatory or other provision
of any nature whatsoever to the contrary set forth in the Note, this Deed of
Trust or any other document or instrument now or hereafter executed and
delivered in connection with the loan evidenced by the Note and secured by this
Deed of Trust, constitute the personal recourse undertakings, obligations and
liabilities of Trustor. The obligations and liabilities of Trustor under this
paragraph shall survive and continue in full force and effect and shall not be
terminated, discharged or released, in whole or in part, irrespective of whether
the Obligations have been paid in full and irrespective of any foreclosure of
this Deed of Trust, sale of the Property pursuant to the provisions of this Deed
of Trust or acceptance by Beneficiary, its nominee or wholly owned subsidiary of
a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or sale and irrespective of any
other fact or circumstance of any nature whatsoever.

     9.  Inspection of Property. Beneficiary is authorized by itself, its
         ----------------------
agents, employees or workers to enter at any reasonable time upon any part of
the Property for the purpose of inspecting the same performing any environmental
site assessment, and for the purpose of performing any of the acts it is
authorized to perform under the terms of this Deed of Trust or any other Loan
Document. Trustor agrees to cooperate with Beneficiary to facilitate such
inspections.

     10.  Alterations.
          -----------

          (a)  The Trustor may construct any new Improvement or otherwise alter
or restore the Property, provided that (i) in the case of any alteration or
restoration (subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement regarding the

alteration or restoration when completed shall not result in a reduction of the
value of the Property below the value thereof immediately preceding the
commencement of such alteration or, in the case of restoration, the value
thereof immediately preceding the casualty or condemnation in question; (iii)
any alteration or restoration shall be substantially equal in quality to, or
better than, the Improvements or Equipment located on the Property as of the
date hereof; (iv) prior to commencing any phase of any alteration or
restoration, the Trustor shall obtain all permits applicable to such phase and

or restoration; and (vii) any alteration will not adversely affect the present
use of the Property.

lien on the Property or any interest therein or to any Indebtedness (as defined
in the Loan Agreement) to finance any such Improvement, alteration or
restoration, or any lien servicing such Indebtedness except to the extent any

<PAGE>

or the Obligations, Trustor shall, if permitted by law, pay any tax imposed as a
result of any such law within the statutory period or within fifteen (15) days

penalties thereon, if any.

     17.  Performance of Other Agreements. Trustor shall observe and perform

liberty, without notice, to apply for the appointment of a receiver to collect
revenues, pay expenses, lease, operate, improve, engage consultants, employees
or agents, manage, sell and otherwise deal with the Property, and shall be
entitled to the appointment of such receiver as a matter of right, without
regard to the value of the Property as security for the Obligations, or the
solvency or insolvency of any person then liable for the payment of the
Obligations.

     21.  Non-Waiver. The failure of Beneficiary to insist upon strict
          ----------
performance of any term of this Deed of Trust shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of any term of this Deed of Trust. Trustor shall not be relieved of Trustor's
obligation to pay the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided for its
payment in the Note, the Loan Agreement, and this Deed of Trust by reason of (i)
failure of Beneficiary or Trustee to comply with any request of Trustor to take
any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or sell the Property pursuant to the
provisions of this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any of the provisions
hereof or of the Note or any other deed of trust, mortgage, instrument or
document evidencing, securing or guaranteeing payment of the Obligations or any
portion thereof, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or
any part of the Property or any other security for the Obligations, or (iii) any
agreement or stipulation between Beneficiary or Trustee and any subsequent owner
or owners of the Property or other person extending the time of payment or
otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, the Loan Agreement,
this Deed of Trust or any other deed of trust, mortgage, instrument or document
evidencing, securing or guaranteeing payment of the Obligations or any portion
thereof, without first having obtained the consent of Trustor, and in the latter
event, Trustor shall continue to be obligated to pay the Obligations at the time
and in the manner provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement, and this Deed of
Trust, as so extended, modified and supplemented, unless expressly released and
discharged from such obligation by Beneficiary in writing. Regardless of
consideration, and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the
holder of any subordinate lien, encumbrance, right, title or interest in or to
the Property, Beneficiary may release any person at any time liable for the
payment of the Obligations or any portion thereof or any part of the security
held for the Obligations and may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify
the terms of the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Deed of Trust, including,
without limitation, a modification of the interest rate payable on the principal
balance of the Note, without in any manner impairing or affecting this Deed of
Trust or the lien thereof or the priority of this Deed of Trust, as so extended
and modified, as security for the Obligations over any such subordinate lien,
encumbrance, right, title or interest. Beneficiary may resort for the payment of
the Obligations to any other security held by Beneficiary in such order and
manner as Beneficiary, in its discretion, may elect. Beneficiary or Trustee may
take action to recover the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce
any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary or Trustee
thereafter to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to effect a sale of the Property
in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary and Trustee
shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but
shall be entitled to every additional right and remedy now or hereafter afforded
by law. The rights of Beneficiary and Trustee under this Deed of Trust shall be
separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the

                                       10
<PAGE>

exclusion of the others. No act of Beneficiary or Trustee shall be construed as
an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any
other provision.

     22.  Power of Sale. If an Event of Default should occur, Beneficiary may
          -------------
enforce payment of the obligations secured hereby and shall, at its option,
execute or cause the Trustee to execute a written notice of such default and of
its election to cause to be sold the Property to satisfy the obligations hereof,
and shall cause such notice to be recorded in the office of the recorder of each
county wherein said Property is situated. Prior to publication of the notice of
sale, Beneficiary shall deliver to Trustee this Deed of Trust and the Note or
other evidence of indebtedness which is secured hereby, together with a written
request for the Trustee to proceed with a sale of the property described herein,
pursuant to the provisions of law and this Deed of Trust. Notice of sale having
been given as then required by law and not less than the time then required by
law having elapsed after recordation of such notice of default, Trustee, without
demand on Trustor, shall sell said property at the time and place of sale fixed
by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels and in
such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash
in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may
postpone sale of all or any portion of said property by public announcement at
such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such
sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement.
Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser its deed conveying the property so sold,
but without any covenant or warrant, express or implied. The recitals in such
deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness
thereof. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary, may purchase at
such sale. After deducting all reasonable costs, fees, and expenses of Trustee
and of this Trust, including cost of evidence of title and reasonable counsel
fees in connection with sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale (i) to
the payment of all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid with
accrued interest at the Default Rate, as defined in the Note, provided, however,
that such interest rate shall in no event exceed the maximum interest rate
allowed by law; (ii) all other sums then secured hereby; and (iii) the
remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

     23.  Concerning the Trustee. Trustee shall be under no duty to take any
          ----------------------
action hereunder except as expressly required hereunder or by law, or to perform
any act which would involve Trustee in any expense or liability or to institute
or defend any suit in respect hereof, unless properly indemnified to Trustee's
reasonable satisfaction. Trustee, by acceptance of this Deed of Trust, covenants
to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable, however, only
for willful negligence or misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and
agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services
rendered by Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof. Trustee may resign at
any time upon giving thirty (30) days' notice to Trustor and to Beneficiary.
Beneficiary may in its sole and absolute discretion and with or without cause
remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and select a successor trustee.
In the event of the death, removal, resignation, refusal to act, or inability to
act as Trustee, or in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason whatsoever
Beneficiary may, without notice and without specifying any reason therefor and
without applying to any court, select and appoint a successor trustee, by an
instrument recorded wherever this Deed of Trust is recorded and all powers,

                                       11
<PAGE>

rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon become
vested in such successor. Such substitute trustee shall not be required to give
bond for the faithful performance of the duties of Trustee hereunder unless
required to do so by Beneficiary.

     24.  Trustee's Fees. Trustor shall pay all costs, fees and expenses
          --------------
incurred by Trustee and Trustee's agents and counsel in connection with the
performance by Trustee of Trustee's duties hereunder and all such costs, fees
and expenses shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.

     25.  Construction. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by and construed in
          ------------
accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without reference to conflicts
of law rules. Accordingly, in all respects, including, without limitation,
matters of construction, validity, enforceability and performance, this Deed of
Trust, the Note and the other Loan Documents and the obligations arising
hereunder and thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the state of Illinois applicable to contracts made and performed in
such state, and any applicable law of the United States of America, except that
at all times the provisions for enforcement of the power of sale granted
hereunder and the creation, perfection and enforcement of the security interests
created pursuant thereto and hereunder and pursuant to the other Loan Documents
shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the state where the
Premises and Improvements are located. Except as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, Trustor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim to assert that the law of any
jurisdiction other than Illinois governs this Deed of Trust, the Note and the
other Loan Documents.

     26.  Further Acts, etc. Trustor will, at the cost of Trustor, and without
          -----------------
expense to Beneficiary or Trustee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and
every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages,
assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Beneficiary or
Trustee shall, from time to time, require for the better assuring, conveying,
assigning, transferring and confirming unto Beneficiary or Trustee, as the case
may be, the property and rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or
hereafter so to be, or which Trustor may be or may hereafter become bound to
convey or assign to Beneficiary or Trustee, or for carrying out the intention or
facilitating the performance of the terms of this Deed of Trust or for filing,
registering or recording this Deed of Trust and, on demand, will execute and
deliver and hereby authorizes Beneficiary or Trustee to execute in the name of
Trustor to the extent Beneficiary and Trustee may lawfully do so, one or more
financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments, to
evidence more effectively the lien hereof upon the Property.

     27.  Headings, etc. The headings, titles and captions of various paragraphs
          -------------
of this Deed of Trust 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.

     28.  Sole Discretion of Beneficiary or Trustee. Except as may otherwise be
          -----------------------------------------
expressly provided to the contrary, wherever pursuant to the Note, this Deed of
Trust, or any other document or

                                       12
<PAGE>

instrument now or hereafter executed and delivered in connection therewith or
otherwise with respect to the loan secured hereby, Beneficiary or Trustee
exercises any right given to Beneficiary or Trustee to consent or not consent,
or to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to
Beneficiary or Trustee, the decision of Beneficiary or Trustee to consent or not
consent, or to approve or disapprove or to decide that arrangements or terms are
satisfactory or not satisfactory, shall be in the sole and absolute discretion
of Beneficiary or Trustee and shall be final and conclusive.

     29.  Waiver of Statutory Rights. Trustor shall not and will not apply for
          --------------------------
or avail itself of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or exemption
laws, or any so called "Moratorium Laws", now existing or hereafter enacted, in
order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust,
but hereby waives the benefit of such laws to the full extent that Trustor may
do so under applicable law. Trustor for itself and all who may claim through or
under it waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising
the Property marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien of this Deed of Trust
and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order
the Property sold as an entirety. Trustor hereby waives for itself and all who
may claim through or under it, and to the full extent Trustor may do so under
applicable law, any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or
decree of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or granted under any statute now
existing or hereafter enacted.

     30.  Waiver of Counterclaims. Trustor absolutely, unconditionally and
          -----------------------
irrevocably waives any and all right to assert any defense, setoff, counterclaim
or crossclaim of any nature with respect to this Deed of Trust or the
obligations of Trustor under this Deed of Trust in any action or proceeding
brought by Beneficiary to collect the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to
enforce the obligations of the Trustor under this Deed of Trust.

     31.  Maximum Principal Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the
          ------------------------------
contrary contained herein, the maximum amount of principal indebtedness secured
by this Deed of Trust at the time of execution or which under any contingency
may hereafter become secured hereby at any time is the Original Principal Loan
Amount specified on Schedule 1 attached hereto, provided, however, that such
limitation shall not limit the security of this Deed of Trust with respect to
(i) all interest due under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii)
sums to pay Taxes (as defined in the Loan Agreement), (iii) sums to pay
insurance premiums, (iv) expenses incurred in upholding or enforcing the lien of
this Deed of Trust, including without limitation, the expenses of any litigation
to prosecute or defend the rights and lien created by this Deed of Trust and (v)
any other amount secured by this Deed of Trust which if not limited by such
limitations would not increase the amount of mortgage recording taxes, if any,
payable with respect to this Deed of Trust.

     32.  Solvency, Binding Effect and Enforceability. The Trustor is (and,
          -------------------------------------------
after giving effect to this Deed of Trust, will be) solvent.

                                       13

     33.  Trustee Acceptance. Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of
          ------------------
Trust, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by
law.

     34.  Attorneys' Fees. Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover any costs,
          ---------------
expenses or liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by
Beneficiary and arising from any breach of any covenant, warranty or agreement
set forth herein.

     35.  Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Deed of Trust, the
          -------------------
Loan Agreement, and the other Loan Documents and the performance of all
provisions hereof and thereof.

     36.  Environmental. Trustor hereby agrees that Beneficiary may (i) in
          -------------
accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736, as such Section
may be amended from time to time, recover any costs, expenses or liabilities,
including attorneys' fees, incurred by Beneficiary and arising from any breach
of any covenant, warranty or agreement pertaining to any environmental laws, or
any order, consent decree or settlement relating to the cleanup of toxic or
hazardous waste or waste products, or any other "environmental provision" (as
defined in such Section 736) relating to the Property or any portion thereof;
and (ii) in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, as
such Section may be amended from time to time, to waive the security of the Deed
of Trust as to any parcel of the Property that is "environmentally impaired" or
is an "affected parcel" (as such terms are defined in such Section), and as to
any Collateral (as defined in the Loan Agreement) attached to such parcel, and
thereafter to exercise against Trustor, to the extent permitted by such Section
726.5, the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of
Beneficiary's claim against Trustor to judgment, and any other rights and
remedies permitted by law. Trustor and Beneficiary acknowledge that pursuant to
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, Beneficiary's rights under
clause (ii) above are limited to instances in which Trustor or any affiliate,
agent, cotenant, partner or joint venturer of Trustor either (a) caused,
contributed to, permitted or acquiesced in the release (as defined in such
Section 726.5) or threatened release of toxic or hazardous waste or waste
products, or (b) had actual knowledge or notice of such release or threatened
release prior to the execution and delivery of the Note and failed to disclose
such release or threatened release to Beneficiary in writing after Trustor's
written request for information concerning the environmental condition of the
Property, unless Trustor otherwise obtained actual knowledge of such release or
threatened release prior to the execution and delivery of the Note.
