Except as set forth in the Credit Agreement, Beneficiary may participate in any such proceedings and Grantor from time to time will deliver to Beneficiary all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Grantor assigns all awards and compensation to which it is entitled for any condemnation or other taking, or any purchase in lieu thereof, to Beneficiary and authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive such awards and compensation and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Except as set forth in the Credit Agreement, Grantor authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive such proceeds and authorizes and directs the issuer of each of such insurance
10
policies to make payment for all such losses directly to Beneficiary, instead of to Grantor and Beneficiary jointly, as more specifically described in the Credit Agreement.

LEASEHOLD PROVISIONS
Section 4.1 Deed of Trust Subject to Ground Leases. This Deed of Trust is made subject to whatever rights and interest each Lessor may have under the Ground Leases and the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth therein. This Deed of Trust shall not be construed so as to constitute a default under any Ground Lease pursuant to Applicable Law or the terms of such Ground Lease, and this Deed of Trust and the lien created hereby shall be of no further force and effect if deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to violate the terms of such Ground Lease or Applicable Law.
Section 4.2 Certain Covenants. The Grantor hereby covenants to and agrees as follows:
(a) Grantor shall pay all rents, additional rents and other sums to be paid by Grantor under any Ground Lease and shall diligently perform and observe all covenants, agreements and obligations of the lessee set forth in the Ground Lease to which Grantor is a party, and not to commit, suffer or permit any material breach thereof. If Grantor shall default under any of the Ground Leases, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take any action necessary or desirable to cure any default by Grantor in the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of such Ground Lease, Beneficiary being authorized to enter upon the Premises for such purposes. Any default by Grantor as lessee under any of the Ground Leases or breach of an obligation thereunder shall be a default hereunder, provided that such shall not constitute a default hereunder until the expiration of any applicable lessee notice and grace period under the Ground Leases and the failure of Grantor to cure such default or breach under the applicable Ground Lease to which it is a party within such grace period.
(b) Grantor shall give prompt notice to Beneficiary of the actual receipt by it of written notice of default served on Grantor by any Lessor, and shall promptly furnish to Beneficiary all information that it may reasonably request concerning the performance by Grantor of the covenants contained in any Ground Lease, including, without limitation, evidence of payment of ground rent, taxes, insurance premiums and operating expenses.
(c) So long as this Deed of Trust is in effect, there shall be no merger of any Ground Lease or any interest therein nor of the leasehold estates created thereby with the fee estate in the Leased Land or any portion thereof by reason of the fact that such Ground Lease or such interest therein or such leasehold estate may be held directly or indirectly by or for the account of any person who shall hold the fee estate in the Leased Land or any portion thereof or any interest of the applicable Lessor. In case
12
Grantor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the Leased Land covered by the Ground Lease, this Deed of Trust shall attach to and cover and be a lien upon the fee title or such other estate so acquired, and such fee title or other estate shall, without further assignment, mortgage or conveyance, become and be subject to the lien of and covered by this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall notify Beneficiary of any such acquisition by Grantor and, on written request by Beneficiary, shall at its own expense cause to be executed and recorded all such other and further assurances or other instruments in writing as may in the opinion of Beneficiary be required to carry out the intent and meaning hereof.
(d) Grantor shall not surrender any Ground Lease (except a surrender upon the expiration of the term of the applicable Ground Lease or upon the termination by the Lessor thereunder pursuant to the provisions thereof) to the Lessor thereunder, or any portion thereof or of any interest therein, and no termination of any Ground Lease, by Grantor as lessee thereunder, shall be valid or effective, and subject to the provisions of the applicable Ground Lease, such Ground Lease shall not be surrendered or canceled, amended, other than in immaterial respects, or subordinated to any fee mortgage, to any lease, or to any other interest, either orally or in writing, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary so long as this Deed of Trust is in effect. Any attempted surrender, amendment (except in immaterial respects) cancellation or termination of any Ground Lease other than as expressly permitted pursuant to the terms thereof by Grantor without obtaining the prior written consent of Beneficiary shall be null and void and without force and effect on the Ground Lease, and such attempt shall constitute a default hereunder.
(e) If and to the extent required by the terms of the Ground Lease, Grantor shall promptly after the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust or of any instrument or agreement supplemental thereto, notify each Lessor in writing of the execution and delivery thereof and deliver to each such Lessor a copy of each such Deed of Trust, instrument or agreement, as the case may be.
(f) If any Ground Lease is terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term by reason of default of Grantor, and if, pursuant to any provision of the Ground Lease, or otherwise, Beneficiary or its designee shall acquire from the Lessor thereunder a new lease of the Leased Land, or of any part of the Leased Land, Grantor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the leasehold estate created thereby.
(g) Grantor hereby warrants the quiet and peaceful possession of the Trust Property to Trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary for so long as the Deed of Trust is in effect and further warrants and agrees to defend the leasehold estate created under each Ground Lease for the remainder of the term set forth therein against each and every person claiming the same or any part thereof.
(h) In the event of the termination, rejection, or disaffirmance of any Ground Lease by any Lessor (or by any receiver, trustee, custodian, or other party that succeeds to the rights of any Lessor) pursuant to any section or chapter of the
13
Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, whether state, federal or otherwise, relating to insolvency, reorganization or liquidation, or for the relief of debtors (each such law referred to herein as a “Bankruptcy Law” and all such laws collectively referred to herein as “Bankruptcy Laws”), Grantor hereby presently, absolutely, and irrevocably grants and assigns to Beneficiary the sole and exclusive right to make or refrain from making any election available to lessees under any Bankruptcy Law (including, without limitation, the election available pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision), and Grantor agrees that any such election, if made by Grantor without the prior written consent of Beneficiary (which Beneficiary would not anticipate granting due to the importance of the Ground Lease as security), shall be void and of no force or effect.
(i) In the event there is a termination, rejection, or disaffirmance of any Ground Lease by any Lessor (or by any receiver, trustee, custodian, or other party that succeeds to the rights of any Lessor) and Beneficiary elects to have the applicable Grantor remain in possession under any legal right Grantor may have to occupy the premises leased pursuant to any Ground Lease then (i) Grantor shall remain in such possession and shall perform all acts necessary for Grantor to retain its right to remain in such possession, whether such acts are required under the then existing terms and provisions of the applicable Ground Lease or otherwise, (ii) all of the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust and the lien created hereby shall remain in full force and effect and shall be extended automatically to such possession, occupancy, and interest of Grantor, to all rights of Grantor to such possession, occupancy, and interest, and to all of Grantor’s rights and remedies against the Lessor under the Bankruptcy Laws, and (iii) Grantor hereby agrees with Beneficiary that if Grantor shall seek to offset against the rent reserved in any Ground Lease any damages or other amounts pursuant to any right of offset available to lessees under any Bankruptcy Laws for any damages sustained by reason of the failure by the applicable Lessor to perform their obligations, then not less than thirty (30) days prior to effecting any such offset, Grantor shall give written notice to Beneficiary of the amount of the proposed offset and the basis therefor, and if Beneficiary objects, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, to the offset on the basis that it may constitute a breach of the Ground Lease, then Grantor shall not effect the offset of any amounts so objected to by Beneficiary and Grantor agrees that any such election, if made by Grantor without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, shall be void and of no force or effect.
(j) Grantor shall use its respective commercially reasonable efforts (not including the payment of any money or other consideration to any third party) to obtain from time to time, promptly after request by Beneficiary, from any Lessor and deliver to Beneficiary, at no cost to Beneficiary, a Lessor’s estoppel certificate thereunder in such form as may reasonably be requested by Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by Grantor to obtain an estoppel certificate from any Lessor shall not be deemed an Event of Default hereunder, provided that Grantor has used their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such estoppel certificate.
14
(k) If at any time Grantor fails to comply in any material respect with any of Grantor’s material obligations under any Ground Lease and the Lessor notifies Beneficiary thereof, then Beneficiary or Trustee may, but without obligation to do so and after providing reasonable notice to the applicable Grantor (provided that no notice shall be required in the event of an emergency or if the Ground Lease is in danger of being terminated) and without releasing Grantor from any obligation hereunder or removing or waiving any default hereunder, perform on behalf of the applicable Grantor any such obligations, and any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by Beneficiary or Trustee in connection therewith shall be repayable upon demand by the Grantor, with interest thereon as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and shall be secured hereby; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to require Beneficiary or Trustee to incur any expense or take any action with respect to Grantor’s failure to comply with any of the Grantor’s obligations under any Ground Lease.
(l) Grantor, promptly upon receiving written notice of a breach by any Lessor (or by any receiver, trustee, custodian, or other party that succeeds the rights of such Lessor) or of any inability of any Lessor to perform the terms and provisions of any Ground Lease (including, without limitation, by reason of a termination, rejection, or disaffirmance by such Lessor pursuant to any Bankruptcy Laws), which would materially impair the value of any Ground Lease, shall notify Beneficiary in writing of any such breach or inability. Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary the proceeds of any claims that Grantor may have against such Lessor for any such breach or inability by such Lessor. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the applicable Grantor shall have the sole right to proceed against such Lessor on Grantor’s and Beneficiary’s behalf and to receive and retain all proceeds of such claims except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement; during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall have the sole right to proceed against any Lessor, and Grantor shall cooperate with Beneficiary in such endeavor. Grantor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, shall deliver to Beneficiary copies of all papers served in connection therewith, and shall consult and cooperate with Beneficiary and its attorneys and agents, in the carrying on and defense of any such proceedings.
(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, if there is an Event of Default which remains uncured, then Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control, through counsel of Beneficiary’s choosing, all litigation and other proceedings under the Bankruptcy Laws relating to any Lessor; and any expenses incurred by Beneficiary in such litigation and proceedings shall be additional indebtedness of the Grantor secured by this Deed of Trust, shall bear interest as set forth in the Credit Agreement and shall be payable by the Grantor upon demand. No settlement of any such proceeding shall be made by the Grantor without Beneficiary’s prior written consent.
(n) In addition to any and all other assignments contained in this Deed of Trust, Grantor hereby absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns,
15
transfers, and set over to Beneficiary all of Grantor’s claims and rights to the payment of damages, and any other remedies available to Grantor, arising from any rejection of any Ground Lease by any Lessor thereunder pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law. This assignment constitutes a present, absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all the indebtedness and obligations secured by this Deed of Trust shall have been satisfied and discharged in full.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no uncured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantor shall have an absolute license to assert and settle any and all such claims, and to receive and apply all proceeds thereof as Trustee shall determine in its discretion.
ARTICLE 5
DEFAULT
Section 5.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an event of default under this Deed of Trust (each an “Event of Default”):
(a) an “Event of Default” (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) shall have occurred;
(b) Grantor’s material breach of any of the covenants set forth in this Deed of Trust; or
(c) if any material misstatement or misrepresentation exists now or hereafter in any warranty or representation set forth in Article 3 hereof.
ARTICLE 6
REMEDIES AND FORECLOSURE
Section 6.1 Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s election and by or through Trustee or otherwise, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses:
(a) To the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, without further notice, presentment, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand or action of any nature whatsoever (each of which hereby is expressly waived by Grantor), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable.
(b) Notify all tenants of the Premises and all others obligated on leases of any part of the Premises that all rents and other sums owing on leases have been assigned to Beneficiary and are to be paid directly to Beneficiary, and to enforce payment of all obligations owing on leases, by suit, ejectment, cancellation, releasing,
16
reletting or otherwise, whether or not Beneficiary has taken possession of the Premises, and to exercise whatever rights and remedies Beneficiary may have under any assignment of rents and leases. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Beneficiary shall be the attorney-in-fact of Grantor with respect to any and all matters pertaining to the Trust Property with full power and authority to give instructions with respect to the collection and remittance of payments, to endorse check, to enforce the rights and remedies of Grantor, and to execute on behalf of Grantor and in Grantor’s name any instruction, agreement or other writing required therefor. This power shall be irrevocable and deemed to be a power coupled with an interest.
(c) As and to the extent permitted by law, enter the Trust Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys, and take exclusive possession thereof and thereupon, Beneficiary may (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Premises and conduct business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Premises in such manner and form as Beneficiary deems advisable in the reasonable exercise of its judgment; (iii) exercise all rights and power of Grantor with respect to the Premises, whether in the name of Grantor, or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, xxx for, collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and other income of the Premises and every part thereof, which rights shall not be in limitation of Beneficiary’s rights under any assignment of rents and leases securing the Indebtedness; and (iv) pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, apply the receipts from the Premises to the payment of the Indebtedness, after deducting therefrom all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges in connection with the Trust Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Beneficiary, its counsel, agents and employees.
(d) Hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Trust Property upon such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable), and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by Trustee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof.
(e) Require Grantor to assemble any collateral under the UCC and make it available to Beneficiary, at Grantor’s sole risk and expense, at a place or places to be designated by Beneficiary, in its sole discretion. Beneficiary may, in its sole discretion, appoint Trustee as the agent of Beneficiary for the purpose of disposition of any personal property in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code.
(f) Institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, either by judicial action or by power of sale, in which case the Trust Property may be sold for cash or credit in accordance with applicable law in one or more parcels as Beneficiary may determine. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, with respect to any notices required or permitted under the UCC, Grantor agrees that five
17
(5) days’ prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. At any such sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings, power of sale, or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor, and against all other Persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Grantor. Beneficiary or any of the Lenders may be a purchaser at such sale. If Beneficiary is the highest bidder, Beneficiary may credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Beneficiary against the Indebtedness in lieu of paying cash. In the event this Deed of Trust is foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement and valuation of the Trust Property is waived. In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article 6 (whether made by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale) the entire Indebtedness, if not previously due and payable, immediately thereupon shall become due and payable. The failure to make any such tenants of the Premises party to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted to be by Grantor, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Beneficiary to collect the sums secured hereby.
(g) With or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Deed of Trust for the portion of the Indebtedness then due and payable (if Beneficiary shall have elected not to declare the entire Indebtedness to be immediately due and owing), subject to the continuing lien of this Deed of Trust for the balance of the Indebtedness not then due; or (1) as and to the extent permitted by law, sell for cash or upon credit the Trust Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Grantor therein, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entity or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law, and in the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Trust Property, this Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien on the remaining portion of the Trust Property; or (2) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein or in any Loan Document; or (3) to the extent permitted by applicable law, recover judgment on the Credit Agreement either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Deed of Trust.
(h) Make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor or regard to the adequacy of the Trust Property for the repayment of the Indebtedness, the appointment of a receiver of the Trust Property, and Grantor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Trust Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof.
18
(i) Exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity.
Section 6.2 Separate Sales. The Trust Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Trustee in its sole discretion may elect; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.
Section 6.3 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive. Beneficiary and Trustee shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulated and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Loan Documents, or against the Trust Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Beneficiary or Trustee, as the case may be, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Beneficiary or Trustee in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.
Section 6.4 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Beneficiary may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Trust Property, any part of the Trust Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interest created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their status as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the Trust Property. For payment of the Indebtedness, Beneficiary may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect.
Section 6.5 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Trust Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment, (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of any election by Trustee or Beneficiary to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents, and (c) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.
Section 6.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Beneficiary or Trustee shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Beneficiary or Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Grantor, Beneficiary and Trustee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness, the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the
19
Trust Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Beneficiary and Trustee shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Beneficiary or Trustee thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.
Section 6.7 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article 6, together with any Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Trust Property, shall be applied by Beneficiary or Trustee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in the following order unless otherwise required by applicable law:
(a) to the payment of the costs and expenses of taking possession of the Trust Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the same, including, without limitation (1) trustee’s and receiver’s fees and expenses, including the repayment of the amounts evidenced by any receiver’s certificates, (2) court costs, (3) attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses, and (4) costs of advertisement;
(b) to the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations in such manner and order of preference as set forth in the Credit Agreement; and
(c) the balance, if any, to the payment of the Persons legally entitled thereto.
Section 6.8 Occupancy After Foreclosure. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any sale of the Trust Property or any part thereof in accordance with Section 6.1(e) or Section 6.1(f) hereof will divest all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to the property sold. Subject to applicable law, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive immediate possession of the property purchased. If Grantor retains possession of such property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Grantor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Grantor remains in possession after demand to remove, be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law.
Section 6.9 Additional Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement.
(a) If any Event of Default exists, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Grantor. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Beneficiary under this Section 6.9, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the rate or rates at which interest is then computed on the Indebtedness, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
20
(b) Grantor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and all costs and expenses related to legal work, research and litigation) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Indebtedness or any claim under this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise.
Section 6.10 No Mortgagee in Possession. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article 6, the assignment of the Rents and Leases under Article 7, the security interests under Article 8, nor any other remedies afforded to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause Beneficiary or Trustee to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Trust Property, to obligate Beneficiary or Trustee to lease the Trust Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.
Section 6.11 WAIVER OF GRANTOR’S RIGHTS. BY EXECUTION OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, GRANTOR EXPRESSLY: (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THE RIGHT OF BENEFICIARY TO ACCELERATE THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THE CREDIT AGREEMENT OR OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT; (B) TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS WHICH GRANTOR MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, THE VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS FOR THE SEVERAL STATES, OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, TO NOTICE AND TO JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY BENEFICIARY OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED TO BENEFICIARY; (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT GRANTOR HAS READ THIS DEED OF TRUST AND ITS PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED FULLY TO GRANTOR AND GRANTOR HAS CONSULTED WITH LEGAL COUNSEL OF GRANTOR’S CHOICE PRIOR TO EXECUTING THIS DEED OF TRUST; AND (D) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL WAIVERS OF THE AFORESAID RIGHTS OF GRANTOR HAS BEEN MADE KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND WILLINGLY BY GRANTOR AS PART OF A BARGAINED FOR LOAN TRANSACTION.
ARTICLE 7
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES
Section 7.1 Assignment. In furtherance of and in addition to the assignment made by Grantor in Section 2.1 of this Deed of Trust, subject to Article 4 hereof and to the Applicable Gaming Laws, Grantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns, sells, transfers and conveys to Trustee (for the benefit of Beneficiary) and to Beneficiary all of its right, title and interest in and to all Leases, whether now existing or hereafter entered into, and all of its right, title and interest in and
21
to all Rents. This assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall have a revocable license from Trustee and Beneficiary to exercise all rights extended to the landlord under the Leases, including the right to receive and collect all Rents and to hold the Rents in trust for use in the payment and performance of the Obligations and to otherwise use the same. The foregoing license is granted subject to the conditional limitation that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings have commenced, and without regard to waste, adequacy of security for the Obligations or solvency of Grantor, the license herein granted shall automatically expire and terminate, without notice by Trustee or Beneficiary (any such notice being hereby expressly waived by Grantor).
Section 7.2 Perfection Upon Recordation. Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary and Trustee have taken all actions necessary to obtain, and that upon recordation of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary and Trustee shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Deed of Trust Trustee’s and Beneficiary’s interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected, “xxxxxx” and enforced as to Grantor and all third parties, including, without limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title 11 of the United States Code (the ”Bankruptcy Code”), without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Deed of Trust, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action.
Section 7.3 Bankruptcy Provisions. Without limitation of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Grantor, Trustee and Beneficiary agree that (a) this Deed of Trust shall constitute a “security agreement” for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this Deed of Trust extends to property of Grantor acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents and (c) such security interest shall extend to all Rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.
Section 7.4 No Merger of Estates. So long as part of the Indebtedness and the Obligations secured hereby remain unpaid and undischarged, the fee and leasehold estates to the Trust Property shall not merge, but shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates either in Grantor, Beneficiary, any tenant or any third party by purchase or otherwise.
ARTICLE 8
SECURITY AGREEMENT
Section 8.1 Security Interest. This Deed of Trust constitutes a “security agreement” on personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other
22
applicable law and with respect to the Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards. To this end, Grantor grants to Beneficiary a first and prior security interest in the Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards and all other Trust Property which is personal property to secure the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, and agrees that Beneficiary shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such property. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with respect to the Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards sent to Grantor at least five (5) days prior to any action under the UCC shall constitute reasonable notice to Grantor. THE TERM “TRUST PROPERTY” IS INTENDED TO EXCLUDE (I) ALL ITEMS OF PERSONAL PROPERTY IN WHICH BENEFICIARY HAS OBTAINED AND/OR PERFECTED A SECURITY INTEREST UNDER SEPARATE INSTRUMENTS; AND (II) THE EXCLUDED ASSETS, AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN THE SECURITY AGREEMENT.
Section 8.2 Financing Statements. Grantor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, such financing statements and such further assurances as Beneficiary may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Beneficiary’s security interest hereunder and Beneficiary may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest. Grantor’s state of incorporation is the State of Nevada.
Section 8.3 Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust shall also constitute a financing statement filed as a “fixture filing” for the purposes of the UCC against all of the Trust Property which is or is to become fixtures. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained at the address of Debtor (Grantor) and Secured Party (Beneficiary) as set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust. Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file any and all financing statements and amendments thereto in such form and in such locations as it deems necessary or appropriate in connection herewith.
ARTICLE 9
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 9.1 Certain Rights. With the approval of Beneficiary, Trustee shall have the right to select, employ and consult with counsel. 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 it hereunder, believed by it in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual, reasonable expenses incurred by it in the performance of its duties and to reasonable compensation for Trustee’s services hereunder as shall be rendered. Grantor shall, from time to time, pay the compensation due to Trustee hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and indemnify, defend and save Trustee harmless against, all liability and reasonable expenses which
23
may be incurred by it in the performance of its duties, including those arising from joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of Trustee; however, Grantor shall not be liable under such indemnification to the extent such liability or expenses result solely from Trustee’s or Beneficiary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Grantor’s obligations under this Section 9.1 shall not be reduced or impaired by principles of comparative or contributory negligence.
Section 9.2 Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by him hereunder.
Section 9.3 Successor Trustees. If Trustee or any successor Trustee shall die, resign or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or Beneficiary shall desire to appoint a substitute Trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint one or more substitute Trustees and, if preferred, several substitute Trustees in succession who shall succeed to all the estates, rights, powers and duties of Trustee. Such appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary and as so executed, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority, valid and sufficient, without further proof of any action.
Section 9.4 Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance or instrument of any nature be required from Grantor by any successor Trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to such successor Trustee such estates, rights, powers and duties, then, upon request by such Trustee, 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.
Section 9.5 Trustee Liability. In no event or circumstance shall Trustee or any substitute Trustee hereunder be personally liable under or as a result of this Deed of Trust, either as a result of any action by Trustee (or any substitute Trustee) in the exercise of the powers hereby granted or otherwise.

Section 10.2 Covenants Running with the Land. All Obligations contained in this Deed of Trust are intended by Grantor, Beneficiary and Trustee to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Trust Property. As used herein, “Grantor” shall refer to the party named in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust and to any subsequent owner of all or any portion of the Trust Property. All Persons who may have or acquire an interest in the Trust Property shall be deemed to have notice of, and be
