Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

In the Credit Agreement, (i) the Lenders have agreed to make term loans (the “Term Loans”) and revolving credit loans (the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, (ii) the Swingline Lender has agreed to make swingline loans to the Borrower (the “Swing Line Loans”, together with Term Loans and Revolving Loans, the “Loans”) and (iii) the L/C Issuers have issued or agreed to issue from time to time Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, in each case pursuant to, upon the terms, and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement.

(b) This Deed of Trust and the Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements described in Section 1.09 of this Deed of Trust, when duly recorded in the public records identified in the Perfection Certificate (as defined in the Security Agreement), will create a valid, perfected and enforceable lien upon and security interest in all of the Mortgaged Property to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing uniform commercial code financing statements.

SECTION 1.05. Casualty Condemnation/Eminent Domain. Trustor shall give Beneficiary prompt written notice of any material casualty or other material damage to the Mortgaged Property or any proceeding that Trustor receives notice of for the taking of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof or interest therein under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or any similar proceeding in accordance with, and to the extent required by the Credit Agreement. Net Cash Proceeds received by or on behalf of the Trustor in respect of any such casualty, damage or taking shall be applied in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 1.06. Assignment of Leases and Rents. i) Trustor hereby irrevocably and absolutely grants, transfers and assigns all of its right title and interest in all Leases, together with any and all extensions and renewals thereof for purposes of securing and discharging the performance by Trustor of the Secured Obligations. Trustor has not assigned or executed any assignment of, and will not assign or execute any assignment of, any Leases or the Rents payable thereunder to anyone other than Trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary.

(a) All Leases entered into by Trustor after the date hereof shall be subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust. Trustor will not enter into, modify or amend any Lease if such Lease, as entered into, modified or amended, will not be subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust.

(b) Subject to Section 1.07(d), Trustor has assigned and transferred to Trustee all of Trustor’s right, title and interest in and to the Rents now or hereafter arising from each Lease heretofore or hereafter made or agreed to by Trustor, it being intended that this assignment establish, subject to Section 1.07(d), an absolute transfer and assignment of all Rents and all Leases to Trustee and not merely to grant a security interest therein. Subject to Section 1.07(d), Trustee or Beneficiary may in Trustor’s name and stead (with or without first taking possession of any of the Mortgaged Property personally or by receiver as provided herein) operate the Mortgaged Property and rent, lease or let all or any portion of any of the Mortgaged Property to any party or parties at such rental and upon such terms as Beneficiary shall, in its sole discretion, determine, and may collect and have the benefit of all of said Rents arising from or accruing at any time thereafter or that may thereafter become due under any Lease.

Trustor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each tenant, if any, and each successor, if any, to the interest of any tenant under any Lease, respectively, to rely upon any notice of a claimed Event of Default sent by Beneficiary to any such tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest, and thereafter to pay Rents to Beneficiary without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether an Event of Default actually exists and even if some notice to the contrary is received from the Trustor, who shall have no right or claim against any such tenant or successor in interest for any such Rents so paid to Beneficiary. Each tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest from whom Beneficiary or any officer, agent, attorney or employee of Beneficiary shall have collected any Rents, shall be authorized to pay Rents to Trustor only after such tenant or any of their successors in interest shall have received written notice from Beneficiary that the Event of Default is no longer continuing, unless and until a further notice of an Event of Default is given by Beneficiary to such tenant or any of its successors in interest.

(d) Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary will become a mortgagee in possession so long as it does not enter or take actual possession of the Mortgaged Property. In addition, neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be responsible or liable for performing any of the obligations of the landlord under any Lease, for any waste by any tenant, or others, for any dangerous or defective conditions of any of the Mortgaged Property, for negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of any of the Mortgaged Property or any other act or omission by any other person.

No consent or waiver by Trustee or Beneficiary to or of any breach or Event of Default by Trustor in the performance of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or Event of Default in the performance of the same or of any other Secured Obligations by Trustor hereunder. No failure on the part of Trustee or Beneficiary to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall constitute a waiver by Trustee or Beneficiary of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any future Event of Default by Trustor.

subordinating Trustee’s lien on the Mortgaged Property hereunder; no such act or omission shall preclude Trustee or Beneficiary from exercising any other right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any breach or Event of Default then made or of any subsequent default; nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument executed by Trustee, shall this Deed of Trust be altered thereby. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or part of the Mortgaged Property, Trustee and Beneficiary are hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any vendee or transferee with reference to the Mortgaged Property secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.
