misconduct of the Beneficiary or any other Secured Party. The foregoing
indemnification shall survive repayment of all Secured Obligations and any

respects, with applicable law, regulations or orders and the Grantor shall

same would be done by a Prudent Operator with due regard for the
security afforded the Beneficiary thereby.
SECTION 5.3 Additional Requirements with Respect to New
Leases. In addition to the requirements of Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof, the

ARTICLE VI
CONCERNING ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
SECTION 6.1 Present Assignment; License to the Grantor.
Section 2.2 of this Deed of Trust constitutes a present, absolute, effective,
irrevocable and complete assignment by the Grantor to the Beneficiary of the
Leases and Rents and the right, subject to applicable law, to collect all sums
payable to the Grantor thereunder and apply the same as the Beneficiary may, in
its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate (including the payment of
reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the maintenance, operation,
improvement, insurance, taxes and upkeep of the Mortgaged Property), which is
not conditioned upon the Beneficiary being in possession of the Premises. The
Beneficiary hereby grants to the Grantor, however, a license to collect and
apply the Rents and to enforce the obligations of Tenants under the Leases.
Immediately upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of
Default or a Default, the license granted in the immediately preceding sentence
shall cease and terminate, with or without any notice, action or proceeding or
the intervention of a receiver appointed by a court.
SECTION 6.2 Collection of Rents by the Beneficiary.
(i) From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default or a Default, any Rents receivable by the Beneficiary
hereunder, after payment of all proper costs and expenses as Beneficiary may, in
its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate (including the payment of
reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the maintenance, operation,
improvement, insurance, taxes and upkeep of the Mortgaged Property), shall be
applied to the Secured Obligations or, at the option of the Beneficiary, shall
be held by the Beneficiary as additional collateral to secure the performance by
the Grantor of the Secured Obligations. The Beneficiary shall be accountable to
the Grantor only for Rents actually received by the Beneficiary. The collection
of such Rents and the application thereof shall not cure or waive any Event of
Default or a Default or waive, modify or affect notice of Event of Default or a
Default or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
(ii) The Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs
Tenant under each Lease to rely upon and comply with any and all notices or
demands from the Beneficiary for payment of Rents to the Beneficiary and the
Grantor shall have no claim against Tenant for Rents paid by Tenant to the
Beneficiary pursuant to such notice or demand.
SECTION 6.3 No Release. Neither this Deed of Trust nor any
action or inaction on the part of the Beneficiary shall release any Tenant under
any Lease, any guarantor of any Lease or the Grantor from any of their
respective obligations under such Leases or constitute an assumption of any such
obligation on the part of the Beneficiary. No action or failure to act on the
part of the Grantor shall adversely affect or limit the rights of the
Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust or, through this Deed of Trust, under such
Leases. Nothing contained herein shall operate or be construed to (i) obligate
the Beneficiary to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained
in any Lease or otherwise to impose any obligation upon the Beneficiary with
respect to such Lease (including, without limitation, any obligation arising out
of any covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in such Lease in the event that
Tenant under such Lease shall have been joined as a party defendant in any
action by which the estate of such Tenant shall be terminated) or (ii) place
upon the Beneficiary any obligation for the operation, control, care, management
or repair of the Premises.
SECTION 6.4 Irrevocable Interest. All rights, powers and
privileges of the Beneficiary herein set forth are coupled with an interest and
are irrevocable, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and the Grantor
shall not take any action under the Leases or otherwise which is inconsistent
with this Deed of Trust or any of the terms hereof and any such action
inconsistent herewith or therewith shall be void.
SECTION 6.5 Amendment to Leases. Each Lease, including,
without limitation, all amendments, modifications, supplements, replacements,
extensions and renewals thereof, shall continue to be subject to the provisions
hereof without the necessity of any further act by any of the parties hereto.
ARTICLE VII
TAXES AND CERTAIN STATUTORY LIENS
SECTION 7.1 Payment of Charges. Unless and to the extent
contested by the Grantor in accordance with the provisions of Article IX hereof,
the Grantor shall pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, from
time to time when the same shall become due (or within any applicable grace
period) all Charges, subject to this Article VII. The Grantor shall, upon the
Beneficiary's request, deliver to the Beneficiary receipts evidencing the
payment of all such Charges.
SECTION 7.2 Escrow of Taxes. From and after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Default, at the option and
upon the request of the Beneficiary, the Grantor shall deposit with the
Beneficiary in an account maintained by the Beneficiary (the "Tax Escrow Fund"),
on the first day of each month, an amount estimated by the Beneficiary to be
equal to one-twelfth of the annual real property taxes and other annual Charges
required to be discharged by the Grantor under Section 7.1 hereof. Such amounts
shall be held by the Beneficiary without interest to the Grantor and applied to
the payment of the obligations in respect of which such amounts were deposited,
in such priority as the Beneficiary shall determine, on or before the respective
dates on which such obligations or any part thereof would become delinquent.
Nothing contained in this Article VII shall (i) affect any right or remedy of
the Beneficiary under any provision hereof or of any statute or rule of law to
pay any such amount as provided above from its own funds and to add the amount
so paid, together with interest at the Default Rate during such time that any
amount remains outstanding, to the Secured Obligations or (ii) relieve the
Grantor of its obligations to make or provide for the payment of the annual real
property taxes and other annual Charges required to be discharged by the Grantor
under Section 7.1 hereof.
SECTION 7.3 Certain Statutory Liens. Unless and to the extent
contested by the Grantor in accordance with the provisions of Article IX hereof,
the Grantor shall timely pay, or cause to be paid, all lawful claims and demands
of mechanics, materialmen, laborers, government agencies administering worker's
compensation insurance, old age pensions and social security benefits and all
other claims, judgments, demands or amounts of any nature which, if unpaid,
would result in, or permit the creation of, a Lien on the Mortgaged Property or
any part thereof, or which would result in forfeiture of all or any part of the
Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 7.4 Stamp and Other Taxes. Unless and to the extent
contested by the Grantor in accordance with the provisions of Article IX hereof,
the Grantor shall pay any United States documentary stamp taxes, with interest
and fines and penalties, and any mortgage recording taxes, with interest and
fines and penalties, that may hereafter be levied, imposed or assessed under or
upon or by reason hereof or the Secured Obligations or any instrument or
transaction affecting or relating to either thereof and in default thereof the
Beneficiary may advance the same and the amount so advanced shall be payable by
the Grantor to the Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.5
hereof.
SECTION 7.5 Certain Tax Law Changes. In the event of the
passage after the date hereof of any law deducting from the value of real
property, for the purpose of taxation, amounts in respect of any Lien thereon or
changing in any way the laws for the taxation of mortgages or debts secured by
mortgages for state or local purposes or the manner of the collection of any
Charges, and imposing any Charges, either directly or indirectly, on this Deed
of Trust, the Indenture or any other Collateral Document, the Grantor shall
promptly
pay to the Beneficiary such amount or amounts as may be necessary from time to
time to pay any such Charges.
SECTION 7.6 Proceeds of Tax Claim. In the event that the
proceeds of any tax claim are paid after the Beneficiary has exercised its right
to foreclose the Lien hereof, such proceeds shall be paid to the Beneficiary to
satisfy any deficiency remaining after such foreclosure. The Beneficiary shall
retain its interest in the proceeds of any tax claim during any redemption
period. The amount of any such proceeds in excess of any deficiency claim of the
Beneficiary shall in a prompt manner be released to the Grantor.

right to foreclose the Lien hereof, such proceeds shall be paid to the
Beneficiary to satisfy any deficiency remaining after such foreclosure.
Beneficiary shall retain its interest in the Insurance Policies required to be
maintained pursuant to this Deed of Trust during any redemption period. The
amount of any such proceeds in excess of any deficiency claim of the Beneficiary
shall be released to the Grantor.
ARTICLE IX
CONTESTING OF PAYMENTS
SECTION 9.1 Contesting of Taxes and Certain Statutory Liens.
The Grantor may at its own expense contest the validity, amount or applicability
of any Charges as long as the contest thereof shall be conducted in accordance
with, and permitted pursuant to the provisions of, the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.1, (i) no contest of
any such obligations may be pursued by the Grantor (A) if such contest would
expose the Beneficiary or any Holder to any possible criminal liability or (B)
unless the Grantor shall have furnished a bond or other security therefor
reasonably satisfactory to the Beneficiary or such Holder, as the case may be,
any additional civil liability for failure to comply with such obligations and
(ii) if at any time payment or performance of any obligation contested by the
Grantor pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall become necessary to prevent the
imminent imposition of remedies because of non-payment, the Grantor shall pay or
perform the same in sufficient time to prevent the imposition of remedies in
respect of such default or prospective default.
SECTION 9.2 Contesting of Insurance. The Grantor shall not
take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause the termination,
revocation or denial of any insurance coverage required to be maintained under
this Deed of Trust or that would be the basis for a defense to any claim under
any Insurance Policy maintained in respect of the Premises and the Grantor shall
otherwise comply in all respects with all Insurance Requirements in respect of
the Premises; provided, however, that the Grantor may, at its own expense and
after written notice to the Beneficiary, (i) contest the applicability or
enforceability of any such Insurance Requirements by appropriate legal
proceedings, prosecution of which does not constitute a basis for cancellation
or revocation of any insurance coverage required under Article VIII hereof or
(ii) cause the Insurance Policy containing any such Insurance Requirement to be
replaced by a new policy complying with the provisions of Article VIII hereof.
ARTICLE X
DESTRUCTION, CONDEMNATION AND RESTORATION

Destruction, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $100,000, the
Grantor shall promptly send to the Beneficiary a written notice setting forth
the nature and extent of such Destruction. The Proceeds of any insurance payable
in respect of such Destruction are hereby assigned and shall be paid to the

of the Indenture.
SECTION 10.2 Condemnation. If there shall occur any Taking or
the commencement of any proceeding thereof, the Grantor shall immediately notify

proceedings therefor. The Beneficiary may, at its option, participate in any
proceedings or negotiations which might result in any Taking, and the Grantor
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Beneficiary all instruments
requested by it to permit such participation. The Beneficiary may be represented
by counsel reasonably satisfactory to it at the reasonable expense of the
Grantor in connection with any such participation. The Grantor shall pay all
reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Beneficiary in connection
with any Taking and in seeking and obtaining any award or payment on account
thereof. Any proceeds, award or payment in respect of any Taking are hereby
assigned and shall be paid to the Beneficiary. The Grantor shall take all steps
necessary to notify the condemning authority of such assignment. The Net Loss
Proceeds arising out of such Taking, shall be applied in accordance with the

SECTION 11.1 Events of Default. It shall be an Event of
Default hereunder if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of
Default under the Indenture.
SECTION 11.2 Remedies in Case of an Event of Default. If any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary or the
Trustee may at the Beneficiary's option, in addition to any other action
permitted under this Deed of Trust or the Indenture or by law, statute or in
equity, take one or more of the following actions to the greatest extent
permitted by local law:
(i) by written notice to the Grantor, declare the entire
unpaid amount of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable
immediately;
(ii) personally, or by its agents or attorneys, (A) enter into
and upon and take possession of all or any part of the Premises
together with the books, records and accounts of the Grantor relating
thereto and, exclude the Grantor, its agents and servants wholly
therefrom, (B) use, operate, manage and control the Premises and

collect and receive all Rents. The Beneficiary shall be under no
liability for or by reason of any such taking of possession, entry,
removal or holding, operation or management except that any amounts so
received by the Beneficiary shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture;
(iii) with or without entry, personally or by its agents or
attorneys, (A) sell the Mortgaged Property and all estate, right, title
and interest, claim and demand therein at one or more sales in one or

the Notes and the Collateral Documents, or in aid of the execution of
any power granted in this Deed of Trust, or for any foreclosure
hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or
equitable remedy or otherwise as the Beneficiary shall elect.
SECTION 11.3 Sale of Mortgaged Property if Event of Default
Occurs; Proceeds of Sale.
(i) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Beneficiary or the Trustee may institute an action to foreclose
this Deed of Trust or take such other action as may be permitted and available
to the Beneficiary at law or in equity for the enforcement of the Indenture and
the Notes and realization on the Mortgaged Property and proceeds thereon through
power of sale or to final judgment and execution thereof for the Secured
Obligations, and in furtherance thereof the Trustee may sell the Mortgaged
Property at one or more sales (to the extent permitted by law), as an entirety
or in parcels (to the extent permitted by law), at such time and place, upon
such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law
or statute or in equity. The Trustee may execute and deliver to the purchaser at
such sale a conveyance of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple and an assignment
or conveyance of all the Grantor's Interest in the Leases and the Mortgaged
Property, each of which conveyances and assignments shall contain recitals as to
the Event of Default upon which the execution of the power of sale herein
granted depends, and the Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints the Trustee the
true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Grantor to make any such recitals, sale,
assignment and conveyance, and all of the acts of the Trustee as such
attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed. The Grantor agrees that such
recitals shall be binding and conclusive upon the Grantor and that any
assignment or conveyance to be made by the Trustee shall divest the Grantor of
all right, title, interest, equity and right of redemption, including any
statutory redemption, in and to the Mortgaged Property. The power and agency
hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or
dissolution, or otherwise, and are in addition to any and all other remedies
which the Beneficiary or the Trustee may have hereunder, at law or in equity. So
long as the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, remain unpaid, the Grantor
agrees that possession of the Mortgaged Property by the Grantor, or any person
claiming under the Grantor, shall be as tenant, and, in case of a sale under
power or upon foreclosure as provided in this Deed of Trust, the Grantor and any
person in possession under the Grantor, as to whose interest such sale was not
made subject, shall, at the option of the purchaser at such sale, then become
and be tenants holding over, and shall forthwith deliver possession to such
purchaser, or be summarily dispossessed in accordance with the laws applicable
to tenants holding over. In case of any sale under this Deed of Trust by virtue
of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any
judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Mortgaged Property may be sold as an
entirety or in separate parcels in such manner or order as the Beneficiary or
the Trustee in its sole discretion may elect. One or more exercises of powers
herein granted shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers, until the entire
Mortgaged Property is sold or all amounts secured hereby are paid in full.
(ii) In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this
Article XI, the entire principal of, and interest in respect of the Secured
Obligations, if not previously due and payable, shall, at the option of the
Beneficiary, immediately become due and payable, anything in this Deed of Trust
to the contrary notwithstanding.
(iii) To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of
Section 55-59.4.A.3 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended, the Proceeds of
any sale made under or by virtue of this Article XI, together
with any other sums which then may be held by the Beneficiary or the Trustee
under this Deed of Trust, whether under the provisions of this Article XI or
otherwise, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
(iv) The Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof at any sale made under or by virtue of this Article
XI and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase
price by crediting against the purchase price the unpaid amounts (whether or not
then due and owing) in respect of the Secured Obligations, after deducting from
the sales price the expense of the sale and the reasonable costs of the action
or proceedings and any other sums that the Beneficiary is authorized to deduct
under this Deed of Trust.
(v) The Beneficiary or the Trustee may adjourn from time to
time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue hereof by announcement at the
time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales, and,
the Beneficiary or the Trustee, without further notice or publication, may make
such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.
(vi) If the Premises is comprised of more than one parcel of
land, the Beneficiary or the Trustee may take any of the actions authorized by
this Section 11.3 in respect of any or a number of individual parcels.
SECTION 11.4 Additional Remedies in Case of an Event of
Default.
(i) The Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover judgment as
aforesaid either before, after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the
enforcement of the provisions hereof, and the right of the Beneficiary to
recover such judgment shall not be affected by any entry or sale hereunder, or
by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the
provisions hereof, or the foreclosure of, or absolute conveyance pursuant to,
this Deed of Trust. In case of proceedings against the Grantor in insolvency or
bankruptcy or any proceedings for its reorganization or involving the
liquidation of its assets, the Beneficiary shall be entitled to prove the whole
amount of principal and interest and other payments, charges and costs due in
respect of the Secured Obligations to the full amount thereof without deducting
therefrom any proceeds obtained from the sale of the whole or any part of the
Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that in no case shall the Beneficiary
receive a greater amount than the aggregate of such principal, interest and such
other payments, charges and costs (with interest at the Default Rate) from the
proceeds of the sale of the Mortgaged Property and the distribution from the
estate of the Grantor.
(ii) Any recovery of any judgment by the Beneficiary and any
levy of any execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property shall not
affect in any manner or to any extent the Lien and security interests created
and evidenced hereby upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any
conveyances, powers, rights and remedies of the Beneficiary hereunder, but such
conveyances, powers, rights and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.
(iii) Any monies collected by the Beneficiary under this Section
11.4 shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3(iii).
SECTION 11.5 Legal Proceedings After an Event of Default.
(i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default and immediately upon the commencement of any action, suit or
legal proceedings to obtain judgment for the Secured Obligations or any part
thereof, or of any proceedings to foreclose the Lien and security interest
created and evidenced hereby or otherwise enforce the provisions hereof or of
any other proceedings in aid of the enforcement hereof, the Grantor shall enter
its voluntary appearance in such action, suit or proceeding.
(ii) To the extent permitted by law, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Beneficiary shall be entitled
forthwith as a matter of right, concurrently or independently of any other right
or remedy hereunder either before or after declaring the Secured Obligations or
any part thereof to be due and payable, to the appointment of a receiver without
giving notice to any party and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of
any security for the Secured Obligations or the solvency or insolvency of any
person or entity then legally or equitably liable for the Secured Obligations or
any portion thereof. The Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of such
receiver. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, the Beneficiary shall
be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits or
instruments at the time held by or payable or deliverable under the terms of the
Indenture to the Beneficiary.
(iii) The Grantor shall not (A) at any time insist upon, or
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage of any
stay or extension or moratorium law, any exemption from execution or sale of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants and terms of performance
hereof, (B) claim, take or insist on any benefit or advantage of any law now or
hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales of the Mortgaged
Property which may be made pursuant to this Deed of Trust, or pursuant to any
decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction or (C) after
any such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute heretofore
or hereafter enacted to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor hereby expressly (A) waives all
benefit or advantage of any such law or laws, including, without limitation, any
statute of limitations applicable to this Deed of Trust, (B) waives all rights
to have the Mortgaged Property marshalled on any foreclosure of this Deed of
Trust, (C) waives any and all rights to trial by jury in any action or
proceeding related to the enforcement hereof, (D) waives any objection which it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or
proceeding brought in connection with this Deed of Trust and further waives and
agrees not to plead that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such
court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (E) covenants not to hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power granted or delegated to the
Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust but to suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted. The
Beneficiary shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made
pursuant to this Article XI in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
SECTION 11.6 Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy conferred upon or
reserved to the Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative
and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Deed of Trust or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Any delay or omission of the
Beneficiary to exercise any right or power accruing on any Event of Default
shall not impair any such right or power and shall not be construed to be a
waiver of or acquiescence in any such Event of Default. Every power and remedy
given by this Deed of Trust may be exercised from time to time concurrently or
independently, when and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Beneficiary
in such order and manner as the Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may elect.
If the Beneficiary accepts any monies required to be paid by the Grantor under
this Deed of Trust after the same become due, such acceptance shall not
constitute a waiver of the right either to require prompt payment, when due, of
all other sums secured by this Deed of Trust or to declare an Event of Default
with regard to subsequent defaults. If the Beneficiary accepts any monies
required to be paid by the Grantor under this Deed of Trust in an amount less
than the sum then due, such acceptance shall be deemed an acceptance on account
only and on the condition that it shall not constitute a waiver of the
obligation of the Grantor to pay the entire sum then due, and the Grantor's
failure to pay the entire sum then due shall be and continue to be a default
hereunder notwithstanding acceptance of such amount on account.
ARTICLE XII

Mortgaged Property includes personal property or items of personal property
which are or are to become fixtures under applicable law, this Deed of Trust
shall also be construed as a security agreement under the UCC; and, upon and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Beneficiary shall be entitled
with respect to such personal property to exercise all remedies hereunder, all
remedies available under the UCC with respect to fixtures and all other remedies

(iii) be dealt with by the Beneficiary in any other manner permitted under
applicable law. The Beneficiary may require the Grantor to assemble such
personal property and make it available to the Beneficiary at a place to be

disposition of the personal property in accordance with the Beneficiary's rights
and remedies in respect to the Mortgaged Property as heretofore provided is a
commercially reasonable disposition thereof; provided, however, that the
Beneficiary shall give the Grantor not less than ten (10) days' prior notice of
the time and place of any intended disposition.

continuation statement or similar instrument relating to any thereof or to any
property intended to be subject to the Lien hereof to be filed, registered and
recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or
future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the validity
and priority thereof or the Lien hereof purported to be created upon the
Mortgaged Property and the interest and rights of the Beneficiary therein. The
Grantor shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes and fees incident to such
filing, registration and recording, and all reasonable expenses incident to the
preparation, execution and acknowledgment thereof, and of any instrument of
further assurance, and all Federal or state stamp taxes or other taxes, duties

time to assure, perfect, convey, assign, mortgage, transfer and confirm unto the
Beneficiary, the property and rights hereby conveyed or assigned or which the
Grantor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to the
Beneficiary or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of
the terms hereof or the filing, registering or recording hereof. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Beneficiary
desires to exercise any remedies, consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers
set forth in this Deed of Trust and determines it necessary to obtain any
approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other Person
therefor, then, upon the reasonable request of the Beneficiary, the Grantor
agrees to use its reasonable efforts to assist and aid the Beneficiary to obtain
as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of
any such remedies, rights and powers. In the event the Grantor shall fail (i)

required to be executed or taken by the Grantor under this Section 13.2 to the
extent same is necessary to maintain perfection of the Lien granted to
Beneficiary hereunder or (ii) such failure shall constitute an Event of Default,
to execute or take any action required to be executed or taken by the Grantor
under this Section 13.2 (other than the type described in clause (i) of this
sentence) then, in each of the cases described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this
sentence, the Beneficiary may execute or take the same as the attorney-in-fact
for the Grantor, such power of attorney being coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable.
SECTION 13.3 Additional Security. Without notice to or consent
of the Grantor and without impairment of the Lien and rights created by this
Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary may accept (but the Grantor shall not be
obligated to furnish) from the Grantor or from any other Person, additional
security for the Secured Obligations. Neither the giving hereof nor the
acceptance of any such additional security shall prevent the Beneficiary from

the Grantor. If there shall be more than one grantor with respect to the
Mortgaged Property, the covenants and warranties hereof shall be joint and
several.
SECTION 14.2 No Merger. The rights and estate created by this
Deed of Trust shall not, under any circumstances, be held to have merged into

SECTION 14.3 Concerning Beneficiary and Trustee.
(i) The Beneficiary has been appointed as trustee pursuant to
the Indenture. The actions of the Beneficiary hereunder are subject to the
provisions of the Indenture. The Beneficiary shall have the right hereunder to
make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any
rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including, without
limitation, the release or substitution of the Mortgaged Property), in
accordance with this Deed of Trust and the Indenture. The Beneficiary may employ
agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for
the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by
it in good faith. The Beneficiary may resign and a successor Beneficiary may be
appointed in the manner provided in the Indenture. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as the Beneficiary by a successor Beneficiary, that successor
Beneficiary shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Beneficiary under this Deed of
Trust, and the retiring Beneficiary shall thereupon be discharged from its
duties and obligations under this Deed of Trust. After any retiring
Beneficiary's resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as
to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Deed of Trust while
it was the Beneficiary.
(ii) The Beneficiary shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Mortgaged Property in its
possession if such Mortgaged Property is accorded treatment substantially
equivalent to that which the Beneficiary, in its individual capacity, accords
its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being
understood that neither the Beneficiary nor any of the Secured Parties shall
have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against
any Person with respect to any Mortgaged Property.
(iii) The Beneficiary shall be entitled to rely upon any written
notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made
by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Deed
of Trust and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
(iv) If any portion of the Mortgaged Property also constitutes
collateral granted to the Beneficiary under any other deed of trust, mortgage,
security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any
conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of
trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect
of such collateral, the Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, shall select which
provision or provisions shall control.
SECTION 14.4 Beneficiary May Perform; Beneficiary Appointed
Attorney-in-Fact. If the Grantor shall fail to perform any covenants contained
in this Deed of Trust, subject to any applicable grace periods or contest rights
permitted pursuant to Article IX hereof or as otherwise permitted by any
Collateral Document (including, without limitation, the Grantor's covenants to
(i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder,
(ii) pay Charges, (iii) make repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform
any obligations of the Grantor under any Mortgaged Property) or if any warranty
on the part of the Grantor contained herein shall be breached, the Beneficiary
may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy
any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that
the Beneficiary shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any
tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which the Grantor fails to pay or
perform as and when required hereby and which the Grantor does not contest in
accordance with the provisions of Article IX hereof. Any and all amounts
reasonably so expended by the Beneficiary shall be paid by the Grantor in
accordance with the provisions of Section 14.5 hereof. Neither the provisions of
this Section 14.4 nor any action taken by the Beneficiary pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 14.4 shall prevent any such failure to observe any
covenant contained in this Deed of Trust nor any breach of warranty from
constituting an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default the Grantor hereby appoints the Beneficiary its
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and
in the name of the Grantor to take any action and to execute any instrument
consistent with the terms hereof and the other Collateral Documents which the
Beneficiary may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof. The foregoing
grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such
appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. The Grantor hereby
ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue
hereof.
SECTION 14.5 Expenses The Grantor will upon demand pay to the
Beneficiary the amount of any and all reasonable costs and expenses, including
the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and the reasonable fees and
expenses of any experts and agents which the Beneficiary may incur in connection
with (i) any action, suit or other proceeding affecting the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof commenced, in which action, suit or proceeding the
Beneficiary is made a party or participates or in which the right to use the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof is threatened, or in which it becomes
necessary in the judgment of the Beneficiary to defend or uphold the Lien hereof
(including, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding to establish or
uphold the compliance of the Mortgaged Property with any Requirements of Law),
(ii) the collection of the Secured Obligations, (iii) the enforcement and
administration hereof, (iv) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Mortgaged Property, (v)
the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Beneficiary or any
Secured Party hereunder or (vi) the failure by the Grantor to perform or observe
any of the provisions hereof. All amounts expended by the Beneficiary and
payable by the Grantor under this Section 14.5 shall be due upon demand therefor
(together with interest thereon accruing at the Default Rate during the period
from and including the date on which such funds were so expended to the date of
repayment) and shall be part of the Secured Obligations. The Grantor's
obligations under this Section 14.5 shall survive the termination hereof and the
discharge of the Grantor's other obligations under this Deed of Trust.
SECTION 14.6 Indemnity.
(i) The Grantor agrees to indemnify, pay and hold harmless the
Beneficiary, the Trustee and each of the other Secured Parties and the officers,
directors, employees, agents and Affiliates of the Beneficiary, the Trustee and
each of the other Secured Parties (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and
against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs (including, without limitation,
settlement costs), expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or
judicial proceeding, commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee
shall be designated a party thereto), which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against that Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out
hereof, the Indenture, the Notes, any other Collateral Document or any other
document evidencing the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, any
misrepresentation by the Grantor in this Deed of Trust, the Indenture, the
Notes, any other Collateral Document or any other document evidencing the
Secured Obligations (the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, however, that the
Grantor shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent it has been determined by a final decision
(after all appeals and the expiration of time to appeal) by a court of competent
jurisdiction that such Indemnified Liabilities arose from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertaking to
indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Grantor
shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy
under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified
Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them.
(ii) Survival. The obligations of the Grantor contained in this
Section 14.6 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of the
Grantor's other obligations under this Deed of Trust, the Indenture and the
other Collateral Documents.
(iii) Reimbursement. Any amount paid by any Indemnitee as to
which such Indemnitee has the right to reimbursement shall constitute Secured
Obligations secured by the Mortgaged Property.

Mortgaged Property and shall (i) be binding upon the Grantor, its respective
successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of
the Beneficiary and the Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Beneficiary and
the Trustee and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective
successors, transferees and assigns. No other Persons (including, without
limitation, any other creditor of Grantor) shall have any interest herein or any
right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing clause (ii), any Holder of the Notes may assign or otherwise transfer
any indebtedness held by it secured by this Deed of Trust to any other Person,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in
respect thereof granted to such Holder, herein or otherwise, subject however, to
the provisions of the Indenture.

in writing and signed by the Beneficiary and Grantor. Any amendment,
modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any

of any provision hereof shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is
specifically required by this Deed of Trust or any other Collateral Document, no

SECTION 14.11 GOVERNING LAW; SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL. THIS DEED OF TRUST SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE
LOCATED, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES
HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR ITEM OR TYPE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY ARE
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE. GRANTOR AGREES
THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY
THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF
MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE ISSUER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE
OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE BENEFICIARY SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED
PURSUANT THERETO. IF ANY AGENT APPOINTED BY GRANTOR REFUSES TO ACCEPT SERVICE,
GRANTOR HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE UPON IT BY MAIL SHALL CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT
NOTICE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER
MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF BENEFICIARY TO BRING
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST GRANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE GRANTOR
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING
OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS DEED OF TRUST OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
SECTION 14.12 Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
SECTION 14.13 Limitation on Interest Payable. It is the
intention of the parties to conform strictly to the usury laws, whether state or
Federal, that are applicable to the transaction of which this Deed of Trust is a
part. All agreements between the Grantor and the Beneficiary, whether now
existing or hereafter arising and whether oral or written, are hereby expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or
agreed to be paid by the Grantor for the use, forbearance or detention of the
money to be loaned or advanced under the Indenture or any related document or
for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or
in the Indenture or any related document exceed the maximum amount permissible
under applicable Federal or state usury laws. If under any circumstances
whatsoever fulfillment of any such provision, at the time performance of such
provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed
by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of
such validity. If under any circumstances the Grantor shall have paid an amount
deemed interest by applicable law, which would exceed the highest lawful rate,
such amount that would be excessive interest under applicable usury laws shall
be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing in respect of the
Secured Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive
interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal and any other amounts due
hereunder, the excess shall be refunded to the Grantor. All sums paid or agreed
to be paid for the use, forbearance or detention of the principal under any
extension of credit by the Beneficiary shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, and to the extent necessary to preclude exceeding the limit of
validity prescribed by law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from
the date hereof until payment in full of the Secured Obligations so that the
actual rate of interest on account of such principal amounts is uniform
throughout the term hereof.
SECTION 14.14 Business Days. In the event any time period or
any date provided in this Deed of Trust ends or falls on a day other than a
Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall
be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein
may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on
such other day.
SECTION 14.15 Relationship. The relationship of the
Beneficiary to the Grantor hereunder is strictly and solely that of lender and
borrower and grantor and beneficiary and nothing contained in the Indenture, the
Notes, this Deed of Trust or any other document or instrument now existing and
delivered in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the Secured
Obligations is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any
circumstance be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture,
tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever
between the Beneficiary and the Grantor other than as lender and borrower and
grantor and beneficiary.
SECTION 14.16 Waiver of Stay.
(i) The Grantor agrees that in the event that the Grantor or
any property or assets of the Grantor shall hereafter become the subject of a
voluntary or involuntary proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or the Grantor
shall otherwise be a party to any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium or similar proceeding to which the provisions relating to the
automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision
in any such law is applicable, then, in any such case, whether or not the
Beneficiary has commenced foreclosure proceedings under this Deed of Trust, the
Beneficiary shall be entitled to relief from any such automatic stay as it
relates to the exercise of any of the rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, any foreclosure proceedings) available to the Beneficiary as
provided in this Deed of Trust, in any other Collateral Document or any other
document evidencing the Secured Obligations.
(ii) The Beneficiary shall have the right to petition or move
any court having jurisdiction over any proceeding described in Section 14.16(i)
hereof for the purposes provided therein, and the Grantor agrees (i) not to
oppose any such petition or motion and (ii) at the Grantor's sole cost and
expense, to assist and cooperate with the Beneficiary, as may be requested by
the Beneficiary from time to time, in obtaining any relief requested by the
Beneficiary, including, without limitation, by filing any such petitions,
supplemental petitions, requests for relief, documents, instruments or other
items from time to time requested by the Beneficiary or any such court.
SECTION 14.17 No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Impositions.
The Grantor shall not be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium,
if any, or interest payable under the Indenture or the Notes, and the Grantor
shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become
payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any
Charge on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.
SECTION 14.18 No Claims Against the Beneficiary. Nothing
contained in this Deed of Trust shall constitute any consent or request by the
Beneficiary, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or
the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises or
any part thereof, nor as giving the Grantor any right, power or authority to
contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the
furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit
the making of any claim against the Beneficiary in respect thereof or any claim
that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the
furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.
SECTION 14.19 Obligations Absolute. All obligations of the
Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of the Grantor, the
Issuer or any other Guarantor;

right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof, the
Indenture, the Notes or any agreement or instrument relating thereto
except as specifically set forth in a waiver granted pursuant to the

(vi) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute
a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Grantor.
SECTION 14.20 Last Dollars Secured. This Deed of Trust secures
only a portion of the Indebtedness owing or which may become owing by the
Grantor. The parties agree that any payments or repayments of such Indebtedness
by the Grantor shall be and be deemed to be applied first to the portion of the
Indebtedness that is not secured hereby, it being the parties' intent that the
portion of the Indebtedness last remaining unpaid shall be secured hereby.
SECTION 14.21 Trustee Provisions.
(a) No Required Action. Trustee shall not be required to
take any action toward the execution and enforcement of the trust hereby created
or to institute, appear in, or defend any action, suit, or other proceeding in
connection therewith where, in Trustee's opinion, such action would be likely to
involve Trustee in expense or liability, unless requested so to do by a written
instrument signed by Beneficiary and, if Trustee so requests, unless Trustee is
tendered security and indemnity satisfactory to Trustee against any and all
cost, expense, and liability arising therefrom. Trustee shall not be responsible
for the execution, acknowledgment, or validity of this Deed of Trust, or for the
proper authorization thereof, or for the sufficiency of the lien and security
interest purported to be created hereby, and Trustee makes no representation in
respect thereof or in respect of the rights, remedies, and recourses of
Beneficiary.
(b) Certain Rights. With the approval of Beneficiary,
Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (i)
to select, employ, and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel
for Beneficiary) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation,
execution, and interpretation of this Deed of Trust, and shall be fully
protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to
execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder
either directly or through her agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ,
in and about the execution of Trustee's duties hereunder, suitable accountants,
engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or
individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee, and Trustee shall not be
answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such
accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected
with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in
good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances
whatsoever, except for Trustee's gross negligence or bad faith, and (iv) any and
all other lawful action as Beneficiary may instruct Trustee to take to protect
or enforce Beneficiary's rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally
liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers
herein granted to Trustee, upon the Mortgaged Property for debts contracted for
or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Mortgaged
Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or
signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by
Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. Trustee
shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by Trustee
in the performance of Trustee's duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation
for such of Trustee's services hereunder as shall be rendered. Grantor will,
from time to time, pay the reasonable compensation due to Trustee hereunder and
reimburse Trustee for, and save Trustee harmless against, any and all liability
and reasonable expenses which may be incurred by Trustee in the performance of
Trustee's duties hereunder.
(c) Substitution of Trustee. Subject to the restrictions
regarding the substitution of trustees in the Indenture, if, for any reason,
with or without cause, the Beneficiary shall elect to substitute for the trustee
herein named (or for any successor to said trustee), the Beneficiary shall have
the right to appoint successor Trustee(s) by duly acknowledged written
instruments, and each new Trustee immediately upon recordation of the instrument
so appointing him shall become successor in title to the Premises for the uses
and purposes of this Deed of Trust, with all the powers, duties and obligations
conferred on the Trustee in the same manner and to the same effect as though he
were named herein as the Trustee.
(d) Successor Trustees. Trustee may resign by the giving of
notice of such resignation in writing or verbally to Beneficiary. If Trustee
shall die, resign, or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this
trust, or if, for any reason, Beneficiary shall prefer to appoint a substitute
trustee or multiple substitute trustees, or successive substitute trustees or
successive multiple substitute trustees, to act instead of the aforenamed
Trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint a substitute trustee (or,
if preferred, multiple substitute trustees) in succession who shall succeed (and
if multiple substitute trustees are appointed,
each of such multiple substitute trustees shall succeed) to all the estates,
rights, powers, and duties of the aforenamed Trustee. Such appointment may be
executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary, and if such Beneficiary be a
corporation and such appointment be executed in its behalf by any officer of
such corporation, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed
with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by
the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation. Grantor
hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the aforenamed Trustee, or
her successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof.
If multiple substitute Trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute
Trustees shall be empowered and authorized to act alone without the necessity of
the joinder of the other multiple substitute trustees, whenever any action or
undertaking of such substitute trustees is requested or required under or
pursuant to this Deed of Trust or applicable law.
(e) Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance,
or instrument of any nature be required from Grantor by any Trustee or
substitute Trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to the
Trustee or substitute Trustee such estates, rights, powers, and duties, then,
upon request by the Trustee or substitute Trustee, any and all such deeds,
conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered
and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor.
(f) Succession Instruments. Any substitute Trustee appointed
pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed,
or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers,
and trusts of its or his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as
if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written
request of Beneficiary or of the substitute Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act
shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute
Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights,
powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the
substitute Trustee so appointed in the Trustee's place.
(g) No Representation by Trustee or Beneficiary. By accepting
or approving anything required to be observed, performed, or fulfilled or to be
given to Trustee or Beneficiary pursuant to the Collateral Documents, including
without limitation, any officer's certificate, balance sheet, statement of
profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance
policy, neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be deemed to have warranted,
consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness, or legal
effect of the same, or of any term, provision, or condition thereof, and such
acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or
affirmation with respect thereto by Trustee or Beneficiary.

extensions thereof.
2. Nondisturbance. So long as Tenant complies with the
provisions of this Agreement, pays all rents and other charges as specified in
the Lease and is not otherwise in default (beyond applicable notice and cure
periods) of any of its obligations and covenants pursuant to the Lease, Trustee
agrees for itself and its successors in interest and for any other person
acquiring title to the Property through a foreclosure (an "Acquiring Party"),
that Tenant's possession of the Leased Premises as described in the Lease will
not be disturbed during the term of the Lease by reason of a foreclosure. For
purposes of this Agreement, a "foreclosure" shall include (but not be limited
to) a sheriff's or trustee's sale under the power of sale contained in the
Security Instruments, the termination of any superior lease of the Property and
any other transfer of the Landlord's interest in the Property under peril of
foreclosure, including, without limitation to the generality of the foregoing,
an assignment or sale in lieu of foreclosure.
3. Attornment. Tenant agrees to attorn to, accept and
recognize any Acquiring Party as the landlord under the Lease pursuant to the
provisions expressly set forth therein for the then remaining balance of the
term of the Lease, and any extensions thereof as made pursuant to the Lease. The
foregoing provision
shall be self-operative and shall not require the execution of any further
instrument or agreement by Tenant as a condition to its effectiveness.
4. No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in the Lease, it is specifically understood and agreed that
neither the Trustee, any receiver nor any Acquiring Party shall be:
(a) liable for any act, omission, negligence or default of
any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(b) liable for any failure of any prior landlord (including
Landlord) to construct any improvements or bound by any covenant to
construct any improvement either at the commencement of the term of the
Lease or upon any renewal or extension thereof or upon the addition of
additional space pursuant to any expansion right contained in the
Lease; or
(c) subject to any offsets, credits, claims or defenses which
Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(d) bound by any rent or additional rent which is payable on a
monthly basis and which Tenant might have paid for more than one (1)
month in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord) or by any
security deposit or other prepaid charge which Tenant might have paid
in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or
(e) liable to Tenant hereunder or under the terms of the Lease
beyond its interest in the Property; or
(f) bound by any assignment, subletting, renewal, extension or
any other agreement or modification of the Lease made without the
written consent of Trustee; or
(g) bound by any consensual or negotiated surrender,
cancellation or termination of the Lease, in whole or in part, agreed
upon between Landlord and Tenant unless effected unilaterally by Tenant
pursuant to the express terms of the Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant reserves its right to
any and all claims or causes of action (i) against such prior landlord for prior
losses or damages and (ii) against the successor landlord for all losses or
damages arising from and after the date that such successor landlord takes title
to the Property.
5. Certain Acknowledgments and Agreements by Tenant. (a)
Tenant has notice that the Lease and the rents and all other sums due thereunder
have been assigned to Trustee as security for the notes secured by the Security
Instruments. In the event Trustee notifies Tenant of the occurrence of a default
under the Security Instruments and demands that Tenant pay its rents and all
other sums due or to become due under the Lease directly to Trustee, Tenant
shall honor such demand and pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease
directly to Trustee or as otherwise authorized in writing by Trustee. Landlord
irrevocably authorizes Tenant to make the foregoing payments to Trustee upon
such notice and demand.
(b) Tenant shall send a copy of any and all notices or
statements under the Lease to Trustee at the same time such notices or
statements are sent to Landlord.
(c) This Agreement satisfies any and all conditions or
requirements in the Lease relating to the granting of a non-disturbance
agreement.
6. Trustee to Receive Default Notices. Tenant shall notify
Trustee of any default by Landlord under the Lease which would entitle Tenant to
cancel the Lease, and agrees that, notwithstanding any pro-
visions of the Lease to the contrary, no notice of cancellation thereof shall be
effective unless Trustee shall have received notice of default giving rise to
such cancellation and shall have failed within sixty (60) days after receipt of
such notice to cure such default or, if such default cannot be cured within
sixty (60) days, shall have failed within sixty (60) days after receipt of such
notice to commence and thereafter diligently pursue any action necessary to cure
such default.
7. Estoppel. Tenant hereby certifies and represents to
Trustee that as of the date of this Agreement:
(a) the Lease is in full force and effect;
(b) all requirements for the commencement and validity of the
Lease have been satisfied and there are no unfulfilled conditions to
Tenant's obligations under the Lease;
(c) Tenant is not in default under the Lease and has not
received any uncured notice of any default by Tenant under the Lease;
to the best of Tenant's knowledge, Landlord is not in default under the
Lease; no act, event or condition has occurred which with notice or the
lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default by Tenant or
Landlord under the Lease; no claim by Tenant of any nature exists
against Landlord under the Lease; and all obligations of Landlord have
been fully performed;
(d) there are no defenses, counterclaims or setoffs against
rents or charges due or which may become due under the Lease;
(e) none of the rent which Tenant is required to pay under the
Lease has been prepaid, or will in the future be prepaid, more than one
(1) month in advance;
(f) Tenant has no right or option contained in the Lease or
in any other document to purchase all or any portion of the Leased
Premises;
(g) the Lease has not been modified or amended and
constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant relating
to the Leased Premises;
(h) Tenant has not assigned, mortgaged, sublet, encumbered,
conveyed or otherwise transferred any or all of its interest under the
Lease; and
(i) Tenant has full authority to enter into this Agreement,
which has been duly authorized by all necessary action.
8. Notices. All notices or other written communications
hereunder shall be deemed to have been properly given (i) upon delivery, if
delivered in person with receipt acknowledged by the recipient thereof, (ii) one
(1) Business Day (hereinafter defined) after having been deposited for overnight
delivery with any reputable overnight courier service, or (iii) three (3)

of this Section 8, the term "Business Day" shall mean any day other than
Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which banks are required or authorized to

additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.
9. Successors. The obligations and rights of the parties
pursuant to this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives of the respective parties;
provided, however, that in the event of the assignment or transfer of the
interest of Trustee, all obligations and
liabilities of Trustee under this Agreement shall terminate, and thereupon all
such obligations and liabilities shall be the responsibility of the party to
whom Trustee's interest is assigned or transferred; and provided, further, that
the interest of Tenant under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred
without the prior written consent of Trustee. In addition, Tenant acknowledges
that all references herein to Landlord shall mean the owner of the landlord's
interest in the Lease, even if said owner shall be different from the Landlord
named in the Recitals.
10. Duplicate Original; Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall
be deemed to be an original. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument
and all of which together shall constitute a single Agreement.
11. Limitation of Trustee's Liability. (a) Trustee shall have
no obligations nor incur any liability with respect to any warranties of any
nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, including,
without limitation, any warranties respecting use, compliance with zoning,
Landlord's title, Landlord's authority, habitability, fitness for purpose or
possession.
(b) In the event that Trustee shall acquire title to the
Leased Premises or the Property, Trustee shall have no obligation, nor incur any
liability, beyond Trustee's then equity interest, if any, in the Leased
Premises, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such equity interest of Trustee,
if any, in the Leased Premises for the payment and discharge of any obligations
imposed upon Trustee hereunder or under the Lease, and Trustee is hereby
released and relieved of any other obligations hereunder and under the Lease.
12. Modification in Writing. This Agreement may not be
modified except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their
respective successors in interest.
13. Lien of Security Instruments. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall in any way impair or affect the lien created by the Security
Instruments or the provisions thereof.
14. Compliance with Lease. Tenant agrees that in the event
there is any inconsistency between the terms and provisions hereof and the terms
and provisions of the Lease, the terms and provisions hereof shall be
controlling.
15. Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of [ ]. If any term of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any person or circumstances shall to any extent be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of
such terms to any person or circumstances other than those as to which it is
invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this
Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
16. Further Actions. Tenant agrees at its own expense to
execute and deliver, at any time and from time to time upon the request of
Trustee or any Acquiring Party, such documents and instruments (in recordable
form, if requested) as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of
Trustee or any Acquiring Party, to fully implement or to further evidence the
understandings and agreements contained in this Agreement. Moreover, Tenant
hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Trustee or any Acquiring Party as
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such documents
or instruments which may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of Trustee
or any Acquiring Party, to implement or further evidence such understandings and
agreements and which Tenant, after thirty (30) days' notice from Trustee or any
Acquiring Party, has failed to execute and deliver.
