Deed of Trust to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set
forth herein. If there shall be any inconsistencies between the terms,
covenants, conditions and provisions set forth in this Deed of Trust and the

obligations under this Deed of Trust and to encumber, mortgage, give, grant,
bargain, sell, alienate, enfeoff, convey, confirm, warrant, pledge, assign
and hypothecate the Trust Property and that Grantor possesses an unencumbered
fee estate in the Land and the Improvements and that it owns the Trust
Property free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and charges whatsoever
except for (x) those exceptions to title which are existing on the date
hereof and approved by Beneficiary and (y) those exceptions of title that are
permitted under the other terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust
(collectively, the "PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES") and that this Deed of Trust is
and will remain a valid and enforceable first lien on and security interest
in the Trust Property, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. Grantor
shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and the validity and
priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust and shall forever warrant and
defend the same to Beneficiary against the claims of all persons whomsoever.
Grantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Grantor is qualified to do business

Trust Property when due and shall, upon written request, furnish to

reasonable diligence, contest the validity or amount of any such taxes or

the collection of the tax or assessment so contested and the sale or
forfeiture of said Trust Property or any part thereof, or any interest
therein, to satisfy the same.
5. INDEMNIFICATION. Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Beneficiary from and against all of the following (collectively, and
individually referred to as a
9
"LOSS"): claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, costs, expenses,
liabilities, losses and damages (including consequential and punitive
damages), reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs,

to persons in or upon the Trust Property, arising from: (i) Grantor's use of
the Property or from the conduct of its business in or about the Trust
Property; (ii) Grantor's default or breach of any term under this Deed of
Trust; and (iii) Grantor's violation or failure to comply with any Legal
Requirements, including Environmental Laws; provided that Grantor shall not
be liable for Loss arising from Beneficiary's or Trustee's negligence or
willful misconduct or from Beneficiary's or Trustee's breach of any of their
obligations hereunder.
6. TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE TRUST PROPERTY. (a) Except
as may otherwise be permitted hereunder or pursuant to the Relevant
Documents, Grantor shall not sell, convey, alienate, mortgage, encumber,
pledge or otherwise transfer the Trust Property or any part thereof or any of
its interest therein. Beneficiary shall not be required to demonstrate any
actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder
in order to declare the Obligations immediately due and payable upon
Grantor's conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer
of the Trust Property in violation of this Deed of Trust or any other
Relevant Document. This provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance,
alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Trust Property
that is not permitted pursuant to the Relevant Documents, regardless of
whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Beneficiary has consented to any
previous sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or
transfer of the Trust Property.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 6(a), Grantor shall have the right
to sell the Trust Property at any time to a third party bona fide purchaser
after consultation with Beneficiary and upon the prior written consent of
Beneficiary to such sale and the sales price (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld), provided that the net proceeds of such sale of the
Trust Property (after payment of transfer taxes and reasonable brokerage
commissions, if any, and other reasonable closing costs) shall be applied
towards repayment of the Obligations, including, without limitation,
repayment of the Secured Rejection Note (including prepayment of any amounts
not yet due and payable) and payment of the Principal Amounts (as defined in
the Rent Deferral Notes) then outstanding under the Rent Deferral Notes, in
the order and manner set forth in the Notes. After the Secured Rejection Note
and all Principal Amounts outstanding under the Notes have been repaid in
full, any remaining net proceeds (including proceeds from any sale or other
disposition of the Trust Property pursuant to Section 24 hereof) not applied
towards repayment of the Obligations shall be deposited into an escrow
account designated by Beneficiary for Grantor's account and as security for
the performance by Grantor of its Obligations to Beneficiary under the
Relevant Documents (the "PROCEEDS ESCROW ACCOUNT") which escrow account shall
be administered by Beneficiary, or, at Beneficiary's discretion and in
accordance with Beneficiary's instructions, may be administered by an escrow
agent (an "ESCROW AGENT") selected by Beneficiary (whose reasonable fees
shall be paid by Grantor). Grantor may also from time to time deposit
additional funds into the Proceeds Escrow Account as further security for the
Obligations. At Beneficiary's request, Grantor agrees to enter into a
separate escrow agreement to further evidence the provisions of this Section
6(b), and in the
10
event that Beneficiary chooses an Escrow Agent to administer the Proceeds
Escrow Account, Grantor agrees to execute an escrow agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary (including provisions
consistent with the provisions of this Section 6(b)) to evidence the duties
and responsibilities of such Escrow Agent. Beneficiary or, if applicable, the
Escrow Agent at the direction of Beneficiary, shall invest the funds in the
Proceeds Escrow Account in obligations of the U.S. Government or its
agencies, interest in time accounts or certificates of deposits, or other
interest bearing account of any bank or bank and trust company or in money
market funds available to Beneficiary. Grantor agrees, and shall agree under
any escrow agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 6(b), that the
funds on deposit under the escrow arrangement described herein shall not
constitute property of the estate (within the meaning of Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code) and that Grantor shall only have such rights
to such funds as are provided herein and in any escrow agreement entered into
pursuant to this Section. Funds in the Proceeds Escrow Account shall be
disbursed (together with accrued interest) from time to time to Beneficiary,
at Beneficiary's direction (upon seven (7) days prior notice to Grantor), to
pay any Obligations that may arise from time to time under the Agreement to
Indemnify, the Notes, the Stipulation and Order or the other Relevant
Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after December 31, 2005, Grantor
shall be entitled to retain any net proceeds in excess of the Minimum Amount
set forth below from the sale of the Trust Property, including amounts
previously deposited and remaining in the Proceeds Escrow Account (including
accrued interest thereon) which have not been applied towards payment of the
Obligations, provided that (i) no Obligations are then due and owing by
Grantor pursuant to the Agreement to Indemnify, the Stipulation and Order,
the Notes or otherwise, (ii) no default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing under any of the Relevant Documents; and (iii) the amount
remaining in the Proceeds Escrow Account is no less than the Minimum Amount
(as hereinafter defined). Except as otherwise set forth in the following
sentence, the "Minimum Amount" shall mean the product of (A) 1.5 times (B)
the sum of the gross rent (including additional rent and percentage rent
charges, if any), common area maintenance charges, taxes, insurance and other
charges computed on a gross basis (collectively, the "BASE CHARGES") which
are due or shall become due under any Assumed Property Subleases still in
existence as of December 31, 2005 (the "SURVIVING ASSUMED PROPERTY
SUBLEASES") from December 31, 2005 until the expiration of the terms of such
Assumed Property Subleases. Upon the expiration after December 31, 2005 of
any Surviving Assumed Property Sublease, Beneficiary shall re-calculate the
Minimum Amount based upon the product of 1.5 times the Base Charges of the
remaining Surviving Assumed Property Subleases as of the end of the term of
such Surviving Assumed Property Sublease (such Base Charges to be calculated
as the sum of the Base Charges from such date through the end of the
expiration dates of the remaining Surviving Assumed Property Subleases), and
provided that (i) no Obligations are then due and owing by Grantor pursuant
to the Agreement to Indemnify, the Notes, the Stipulation and Order or
otherwise and that (ii) no default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under any of the Relevant Documents, Beneficiary shall, on the
first anniversary of the expiration of such expired Surviving Assumed
Property Sublease, release to Grantor, or cause the Escrow Agent to release
to Grantor, the excess of all funds in the Proceeds Escrow Account over the
re-calculated Minimum Amount. Any calculation of Base Charges under this
Section 6(b) shall be made by Beneficiary and,
11
absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon Grantor. Provided
that (i) an amount equal to at least the Minimum Amount is deposited or on
deposit in the Proceeds Escrow Account to secure the payment of the
Obligations, (ii) no default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under any of the Relevant Documents, (iii) the Notes have been
repaid in full and (iv) no Obligations are then due and owing by Grantor
pursuant to the Agreement to Indemnify, the Stipulation and Order or
otherwise, Grantor shall be entitled to receive a release of this Deed of
Trust from Beneficiary at any time after December 31, 2005. Provided that no
default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under any of the
Relevant Documents and that no amounts are then owing by Grantor or
outstanding pursuant to or under any of the Relevant Documents (and that an
amount equal to the Minimum Amount is at all times on deposit in the Proceeds
Escrow Account), interest earned on the amounts deposited in the Proceeds
Escrow Account after December 31, 2005 shall be distributed to Grantor on a
quarterly basis. All remaining amounts in the Proceeds Escrow Account which
have not been applied towards payment of the Obligations shall be released to
Grantor on the later of (A) December 31, 2014 provided, however, that no
Obligations are then due and owing by Grantor pursuant to the Agreement to
Indemnify, the Stipulation and Order or otherwise, and (B) the end of the
term of this Deed of Trust as set forth in Section 13(c) hereof. Grantor
shall pay any income taxes attributable to the interest or other income
earned on the Proceeds Escrow Account. Notwithstanding any release of this
Deed of Trust pursuant to this Section 6(b) or otherwise, the terms and
provisions of this Section 6(b) shall survive the release of this Deed of
Trust.
7. AMENDMENT TO LEGAL DESCRIPTION. If it becomes evident that
the legal description attached to any Relevant Document is inaccurate or does
not fully describe all of the real property which is reasonably connected to
the Land, Grantor hereby agrees to an amendment of such legal description and
the legal description contained on the corresponding title policy so that
such error is corrected and to execute and cause to be recorded, if
applicable, such document as may be appropriate for such purpose.
8. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS. Grantor does hereby
absolutely and unconditionally assign to Beneficiary, Grantor's right, title
and interest in all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by
Grantor that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and
not an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment to
Beneficiary shall not be construed to bind Beneficiary to the performance of
any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or
otherwise impose any obligation upon Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall have no
responsibility on account of this assignment for the control, care,
maintenance, management or repair of the Trust Property, for any dangerous or
defective condition of the Trust Property, or for any negligence in the
management, upkeep, repair or control of the Trust Property. Grantor agrees
to execute and deliver to Beneficiary such additional instruments, in form
and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, as may hereafter be requested by
Beneficiary to further evidence and confirm such assignment. Nevertheless,
subject to the terms of this paragraph, Beneficiary grants to Grantor a
revocable license to collect all of the Rents and retain, use and enjoy the
same and otherwise exercise all rights of Grantor under any Lease, in each
case, subject to the terms
12
hereof and of the Relevant Documents. Upon an Event of Default, the license
granted to Grantor herein shall immediately and automatically be revoked, and
Beneficiary shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents, whether
or not Beneficiary enters upon or takes control of the Trust Property,
provided that if such Event of Default ceases to exist, the license shall
automatically be reinstated. In addition, during the continuation of an Event
of Default, Beneficiary may, either in person or by agent, without bringing
any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, without the
necessity of taking possession of the Trust Property in its own name, and in
addition to and without limiting any of Beneficiary's rights and remedies
hereunder, under the Notes and any other Relevant Documents and as otherwise
available at law or in equity, (a) notify any lessee or other person that the
Leases have been assigned to Beneficiary and that all Rents are to be paid
directly to Beneficiary, whether or not Beneficiary has commenced or
completed foreclosure or taken possession of the Trust Property; (b) settle,
compromise, release, extend the time of payment of, and make allowances,
adjustments and discounts of any Rents or other obligations in, to and under
the Leases; (c) demand, xxx for or otherwise collect, receive, and enforce
payment of Rents, including those past-due and unpaid and other rights under
the Leases, prosecute any action or proceeding, and defend against any claim
with respect to the Rents and Leases; (d) enter upon, take possession of and
operate the Trust Property; (e) lease all or any part of the Trust Property;
and/or (f) perform any and all obligations of Grantor under the Leases and
exercise any and all rights of Grantor therein contained to the full extent
of Grantor's rights and obligations thereunder, with or without the bringing
of any action or the appointment of a receiver and without need for any other
authorization or other action by Beneficiary or Grantor. At Beneficiary's
request, Grantor shall deliver a copy of this assignment to each tenant under
a Lease and to each manager and managing agent or operator of the Trust
Property. Grantor irrevocably directs any tenant, manager, managing agent, or
operator of the Property, without any requirement for notice to or consent by
Grantor, to comply with all demands of Beneficiary under this Section 8 and
to turn over to Beneficiary on demand all Rents which it receives. Grantor
hereby acknowledges and agrees that payment of any Rents by a person to
Beneficiary as hereinabove provided shall constitute payment by such person,
as fully and with the same effect as if such Rents had been paid to Grantor.
Beneficiary is hereby granted and assigned by Grantor the right, at its
option, upon revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the
Trust Property in person or by agent, without bringing any action or
proceeding, or by court-appointed receiver to collect the Rents. Any Rents
collected after the revocation of the license shall be applied towards the
payment of the Obligations. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies
under this Section 8 nor any other remedies or security interests afforded to
Beneficiary under the Relevant Documents, at law or in equity shall cause
Beneficiary to be deemed or construed to be a Beneficiary in possession of
the Trust Property, to obligate Beneficiary 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. Grantor shall, and hereby agrees to indemnify
Beneficiary for, and to hold Beneficiary harmless from and against, any and
all claims, liability, expenses, losses or damages which may or might be
asserted against or incurred by Beneficiary solely by reason of Beneficiary's
status as an assignee pursuant to the assignment of Rents and Leases
contained herein, but excluding any claim (a) to the extent caused by
Beneficiary's gross
13
negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) to the extent arising solely from
Beneficiary's actions after Beneficiary has taken possession of the Trust
Property. Should Beneficiary incur any such claim, liability, expense, loss
or damage, the amount thereof, including all actual expenses and reasonable
fees of attorneys, shall constitute Obligations secured hereby, and Grantor
shall reimburse Beneficiary therefor immediately upon demand. Grantor agrees
that all Leases shall be subject to the prior written approval of
Beneficiary, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
9. MAINTENANCE OF TRUST PROPERTY. Grantor shall cause the
Trust Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair
(subject to ordinary wear and tear), and shall otherwise operate and maintain
the Trust Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which it
operates and maintains the other properties on which it operates similar
businesses ("SIMILAR PROPERTIES"). Except as otherwise permitted by the
Relevant Documents, the Improvements, the Fixtures and the equipment located
on the Land or the Improvements shall not be removed, demolished or
materially altered (except for normal replacement of equipment) without the
consent of Beneficiary which shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed.
Grantor shall comply with all laws, orders and ordinances affecting the Trust
Property, or the use thereof. Except to the extent that Beneficiary fails to
turn over insurance proceeds, if any, received by Beneficiary pursuant to
SECTIONS 10 and 11 with respect to the Trust Property to Grantor, Grantor
shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Trust Property
that, following the date hereof, becomes damaged, worn or dilapidated and
Grantor shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process
of construction or repair on the Land. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Grantor hereby confirms its obligation to comply
with all relevant Legal Requirements, including Environmental Laws, with
respect to the Trust Property. Grantor shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce
in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law
or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which
may be made of the Trust Property or any part thereof, unless Grantor shall
have received Beneficiary's prior written consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. If under applicable zoning provisions the
use of all or any portion of the Trust Property is or shall become a
nonconforming use, Grantor will not cause such nonconforming use to be
discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Beneficiary,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Grantor shall not
(i) change the use of the Land in any material respect or (ii) permit or
suffer to occur any waste on or to the Trust Property or to any portion
thereof.
10. INSURANCE.
(a) Grantor shall maintain casualty, liability and other
policies of insurance relating to the Trust Property in form and substance,
and with insurers and coverages, reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary and
consistent with insurance that it maintains on Similar Properties. Grantor
shall keep the Trust Property insured against loss by flood if the Trust
Property is located in an area identified by the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development as an area having a special flood hazards and in which
flood insurance has been made available
14
under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (or any successor act
thereto). All policies of insurance to be furnished hereunder (i) shall have
standard non-contributory mortgagee clauses attached to all policies in favor
of Beneficiary, without contribution, under a standard New York (or local
equivalent) mortgagee clause naming Beneficiary as the party to which all
payments made under such insurance policies in excess of $150,000 should be
paid, (ii) shall contain an endorsement providing that neither Grantor nor
Beneficiary nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said policies and
shall contain a provision requiring that the coverage evidenced thereby shall
not be terminated or materially modified without ten (10) days prior written
notice to Beneficiary, (iii) shall provide that no act or thing done by
Grantor shall invalidate the policy as against Beneficiary, and (iv) with
respect to property insurance policies, shall contain a waiver of subrogation
against Beneficiary. Grantor shall deliver certificates evidencing additional
and renewal policies, together with evidence of payment of premiums thereon,
to Beneficiary, and in the case of all insurance about to expire, shall
deliver renewal policies or certificates evidencing such policies not less
than ten (10) days prior to their respective dates of expiration.
(b) Grantor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent
in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be
maintained hereunder unless Beneficiary is included thereon under a standard,
non-contributory mortgagee clause acceptable to Beneficiary. Grantor shall
promptly notify Beneficiary whenever any such separate insurance is taken out
and shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary the certificates evidencing the
policy or policies of such insurance.
(c) The insurance required by this Deed of Trust, at the
option of Grantor, may be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies
covering the Trust Property and other properties, provided, however, that in
each case, such insurance policies otherwise comply with the provisions of
this Deed of Trust and allocate to the Trust Property, from time to time, the
coverage specified in this Deed of Trust without possibility of reduction or
co-insurance by reason of, or damage to, any other property named therein. If
the insurance required by this Deed of Trust shall be effected by any such
blanket or umbrella policies, Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary
certificates with respect to, with schedules attached thereto showing the
amount of the insurance provided under such policies which is applicable to
the Trust Property.
(d) If Grantor fails to maintain insurance in compliance with
this Section, Beneficiary may obtain such insurance and pay the premium
therefor and Grantor shall, on demand, reimburse Beneficiary for all expenses
incurred in connection therewith. Grantor shall deliver original certificates
to Beneficiary of all insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section
10. Each property insurance policy shall name Beneficiary as mortgagee, and
loss payee with respect to all casualty coverage and each liability policy
shall name Beneficiary as an additional insured thereunder.
11. CASUALTY. (a) Grantor shall give Beneficiary prompt notice
of any loss or damage to the Trust Property.
15
(b) In case of loss or damage to the Trust Property covered by
any of the insurance policies described in Section 10 above, Beneficiary (or,
after entry of decree of foreclosure, the purchaser at the foreclosure sale
or decree creditor, as the case may be) is hereby authorized at its option
either (i) to settle and adjust any claim under such insurance policies
without the consent of Grantor or (ii) to allow Grantor to settle and adjust
such claim (either jointly with Beneficiary or by Grantor alone, at
Beneficiary's discretion); provided that in either case Beneficiary shall,
and is hereby authorized to, collect and receipt for any such insurance
proceeds. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary,
Beneficiary agrees that it will allow Grantor to settle and adjust any claims
under the insurance policies which are in an amount less than $150,000, per
incident of loss, up to an aggregate amount of no greater than $300,000. The
expenses incurred by Beneficiary in the adjustment and collection of
insurance proceeds shall be included in the Obligations, and shall be
reimbursed to Beneficiary upon demand or may be deducted by Beneficiary from
said insurance proceeds prior to another application thereof. Interest on
such amount shall accrue at the Default Rate, beginning ten (10) days after
Grantor receives notice of a request for payment of such amount from
Beneficiary, until such amount, plus interest, is paid in full.
(c) Beneficiary shall permit Grantor to apply the proceeds of
insurance policies received in connection with any casualty to pay for the
cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the loss or damage to
the Trust Property resulting from the casualty ("RESTORATION") if: (i) there
is no Event of Default hereunder at the time of such application; (ii)
restoration can, in the reasonable judgment of Beneficiary, be completed
prior to the maturity of the Obligations; and (iii) restoration can, in the
reasonable judgment of Beneficiary, be effected within two (2) years after
the date of such casualty and in such a manner so that the Trust Property
will be of at least equal or greater value to the value than the Trust
Property prior to such casualty. Otherwise, Beneficiary may elect in its sole
discretion to apply such proceeds either (x) towards payment of the
Obligations, notwithstanding the fact that the Obligations, or a portion
thereof, may not then be due and payable, or (y) to pay for the cost of
Restoration. In all events, disbursement of insurance proceeds by Beneficiary
(or at Beneficiary's election by a disbursing or escrow agent who shall be
selected by Beneficiary and whose fees shall be paid by Grantor), to pay the
cost of restoration shall require (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Beneficiary of the estimated costs of Restoration, (ii) funds (or assurances
reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary that such funds are available)
sufficient in addition to the proceeds of insurance to complete and fully pay
for Restoration; and (iii) such architect's certificates, waivers of lien,
contractor's sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, plats of surveys
and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Beneficiary may
reasonably require and approve. Except to the extent Beneficiary fails to
turn over insurance proceeds, if any, received by Beneficiary hereunder with
respect to such casualty to Grantor, Grantor hereby covenants to restore,
repair, replace or rebuild the Improvements, to be of at least equal value,
and of substantially the same character as prior to such loss or damage, all
to be effected in accordance with plans, specifications and procedures to be
first submitted to and reasonably approved by Beneficiary, and Grantor shall
pay all costs of such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding.
16
12. EMINENT DOMAIN. Grantor warrants, covenants and agrees
that should the Trust Property, or any part thereof or interest therein, be
taken or damaged by reason of any public improvement or condemnation
proceeding, or in any other manner, or should Grantor receive any notice of
other information regarding such proceeding, Grantor shall give written
notice thereof within five (5) business days to Beneficiary. Without
Beneficiary's prior consent, Grantor (1) shall not agree to any compensation
or award, and (2) shall not take any action or fail to take any action which
would cause the compensation to be determined. Beneficiary shall be entitled
to: (1) all compensation awards and other payments or relief therefor, (2) to
commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceedings,
and (3) to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such taking
or damage. Grantor authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive such awards
and compensation, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor and in
Beneficiary's discretion to apply the same toward the payment of the
Obligations, notwithstanding the fact that the Obligations, or a portion
thereof, may not then be due and payable, or to the restoration of the Trust
Property in accordance with the provisions set forth in the second-to-last
sentence of Section 11(c) above. Grantor further agrees to make, execute, and
deliver to Beneficiary, at any time upon request, free and clear of any
encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, any and all further assignments and other
instruments deemed necessary by Beneficiary for the purpose of validly and
sufficiently assigning all compensations and awards made to Grantor for any
taking, either permanent or temporary, under any such proceeding.
13. RELEASE OF DEED OF TRUST. Beneficiary agrees to promptly
and unconditionally release this Deed of Trust (subject to the provisions set
forth in Section 6(b)) as follows:
(a) in the event of a bona fide sale (other than a "sale
leaseback" or other similar financing transaction) of the Trust Property to a
third party that is not affiliated with Grantor, provided that each of the
following conditions is satisfied: (i) neither Grantor nor any of its
respective affiliates continue to use or occupy the Trust Property or any
part thereof; (ii) Grantor shall consult with Beneficiary prior to such sale
and shall obtain Beneficiary's prior written consent with respect to such
sale and the sales price (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); and
(iii) all of the proceeds of such sale are applied towards repayment of the
Obligations or otherwise applied in compliance with the provisions of Section
6(b) hereof.
(b) in the event that Beneficiary is paid in full for all
amounts owing (or which shall or may become owing under the Relevant
Documents) to Beneficiary by Grantor and any of its former affiliated
debtors, including the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of the
Obligations.
(c) on December 31, 2014 (or on such earlier date as permitted
under and pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(b) hereof); provided,
however, that if on such date, any amount secured by this Deed of Trust has
not been indefeasibly paid in full, then this Deed of Trust shall be deemed
amended to extend the term hereof until such obligations are so paid.
17
14. CHANGES IN THE LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is
enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Deed of Trust which
imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Obligations or
Beneficiary's interest in the Trust Property, Grantor will pay such tax, with
interest and penalties thereon, if any, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Grantor shall
not be obligated to pay any tax which is imposed on the net income of
Beneficiary or franchise taxes or doing business taxes imposed on
Beneficiary. In the event that the payment of such tax or interest and
penalties by Grantor would be unlawful or taxable to Beneficiary or
unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such
event, Beneficiary shall have the option, by written notice of not less than
ninety (90) days, to declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
15. NO CREDITS ON ACCOUNT OF THE OBLIGATIONS. (i) Grantor will
not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the
Obligations for any part of the Impositions assessed against the Trust
Property, or any part thereof, and (ii) no deduction shall otherwise be made
or claimed from the assessed value of the Trust Property, or any part hereof,
for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Deed of Trust or the
Obligations if the effect of such deduction would impose on Beneficiary a
tax, either directly or indirectly, for which it otherwise would not have
been liable.
16. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. If at any time the United States of
America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require
revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Notes or this Deed of Trust, or
impose any other tax or charge on the same, Grantor will pay for the same,
with interest and penalties thereon, if any.
17. CONTROLLING AGREEMENT. It is expressly stipulated and
agreed to be the intent of Grantor and Beneficiary at all times to comply
with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the
extent that it permits Beneficiary to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or
receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this
Section shall control every other covenant and agreement in this Deed of
Trust and the other Relevant Documents. If the applicable law (state or
federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount
called for under the Notes or under any of the other Relevant Documents, or
contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the
Obligations, or if Beneficiary's exercise of the option to accelerate the
maturity of the Notes, or if any prepayment by Grantor results in Grantor
having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then
it is Grantor's and Beneficiary's express intent that all excess amounts
theretofore collected by Beneficiary shall be credited on the principal
balance of the Notes and all other Obligations (or, if the Notes and all
other Obligations have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to
Grantor), and the provisions of the Notes and the other Relevant Documents
immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible
hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of
any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to
permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or
thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary for the use,
forbearance, or detention of the Obligations shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout
the full
18
stated term of the Obligations until payment in full so that the rate or
amount of interest on account of the Obligations does not exceed the maximum
rate of interest permitted by law from time to time in effect and applicable
to the Obligations for so long as the Obligations are outstanding.
18. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Grantor shall observe and
perform in all respects the terms to be observed or performed by Grantor
under any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the
Trust Property.
19. RIGHT TO PERFORM THE OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the terms of
the Relevant Documents, if any default exists, Beneficiary shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to cure such default in the name and on behalf
of Grantor. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by
Beneficiary under this Section 19, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or
any of the other Relevant Documents or applicable law (including, without
limitation, the costs and expenses of Beneficiary and its agents incurred in
connection with the preservation, collection and enforcement of this Deed of
Trust or of the liens created hereby), shall bear interest from the date that
such sum is advanced or expense incurred, to and including the date of
reimbursement, computed at the Default Rate (as defined in the Notes), and
all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall constitute additions to
the Obligations and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and Grantor
covenants and agrees to pay them to the order of the Beneficiary promptly
upon demand.
20. FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Grantor will, at the cost of Grantor,
and without expense to Beneficiary, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all
and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, deeds of trust,
assignments, notices of assignment, Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements or continuation statements, transfers and assurances as
Beneficiary shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better
assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Beneficiary
the property and rights hereby mortgaged, given, granted, bargained, sold,
alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, warranted, pledged, assigned and
hypothecated (including, without limitation, the assignment of leases and
rents contained in Section 8 hereof) or intended now or hereafter so to be,
or which Grantor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to
Beneficiary, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the
performance of the terms of this Deed of Trust or for filing, registering or
recording this Deed of Trust. Grantor, on demand, will execute and deliver
and, Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to execute in the name of Grantor
or without the signature of Grantor to the extent Beneficiary may lawfully do
so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments,
to evidence more effectively the security interest of Beneficiary in the
Trust Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Grantor shall not be obligated to execute, deliver, file or record any
additional documents which increase Grantor's obligations under this Deed of
Trust or the Relevant Documents. Grantor grants to Beneficiary an irrevocable
power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising the
rights provided for in Section 19 and this Section 20.
19
21. RECORDING OF DEED OF TRUST, ETC. Grantor forthwith upon
the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and thereafter, from time to
time, will cause this Deed of Trust, and any security instrument creating a
lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Trust
Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or
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 lien or
security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Beneficiary in, the Trust
Property. Grantor will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, the
costs and fees of local counsel for Beneficiary, including, without
limitation, costs and fees for local counsel review of the Deed of Trust and
Subordinated Agreement, and the preparation of opinion letters in connection
therewith, and all expenses incident to the execution and acknowledgment of
this Deed of Trust (but not including fees of Beneficiary's New York counsel
in connection with the preparation of this Deed of Trust), any deed of trust
or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the
Trust Property and any instrument of further assurance, and all federal,
state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges
arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Deed
of Trust, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security
instrument with respect to the Trust Property or any instrument of further
assurance (other than income or franchise taxes imposed on Beneficiary),
except where prohibited by law so to do. Grantor shall hold harmless and
indemnify Beneficiary, its successors and assigns, against any liability
incurred by reason of the imposition of any tax on the making and recording
of this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall pay all title costs and premiums in
connection with the Beneficiary's policy of title insurance issued by Chicago
Title Insurance Company for the benefit of Beneficiary in connection with
this Deed of Trust (including payment for the cost of any property surveys
prepared in connection therewith), which title insurance policy shall be in
form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary containing such endorsements
as Beneficiary may reasonably request, including, without limitation, the
deletion of any creditor's rights exception and (to the extent available) a
variable rate endorsement; survey endorsement; comprehensive endorsement;
first loss endorsement; last dollar endorsement; tie-in endorsement; future
advances endorsement; access coverage; tax parcel coverage; contiguity (if
applicable) coverage; and such other endorsements as Beneficiary shall
reasonably require. In the event that any Survey with respect to the Trust
Property reveals any encumbrances, restrictions, building code or zoning
violations or other matters which in Beneficiary's reasonable judgment,
materially impair Beneficiary's first priority lien in the Trust Property,
Grantor agrees to cooperate with Beneficiary in performing any acts
reasonably requested by Beneficiary to cause such encumbrances, restrictions,
violations or other matters to be removed or remedied as appropriate.
22. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Grantor agrees to give prompt
notice to Beneficiary of the insolvency or bankruptcy filing of Grantor. In
addition, Grantor will give notice to Beneficiary in writing not later than
ten (10) days after: (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect
to Grantor hereunder, or (ii) notice to Grantor of any action, litigation or
proceeding instituted to recover possession of the Trust Property from
Grantor or for any other purpose affecting this Deed of Trust or of any other
action, litigation or proceeding instituted against Grantor or judgment
rendered against Grantor; and such notice to
20
Beneficiary shall include a true copy of any notice of default, or if any
action is then proceeding, copies of any pleadings and papers received by
Grantor.
23. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The term "EVENT OF DEFAULT" as used
herein shall mean the occurrence or happening, at any time and from time to
time, of one or more of the following events:
(a) a default or event of default under any of the Notes
(including, without limitation, any event of default described in Section 3
of any of the Notes), which remains uncured following the expiration of any
applicable cure periods;
(b) Grantor (i) shall fail to perform when due any payment
obligation under the terms of this Deed of Trust or the other Relevant
Documents within ten days after such amount becomes due, or (ii) shall be in
violation of any of the obligations or covenants contained herein or therein
and such default shall continued unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days,
provided that if such default is not readily susceptible of cure in such
thirty (30) day period, and provided that Grantor proceeds in a diligent
manner to cure such default, Grantor shall have such additional time to
effect such cure as shall be reasonably necessary to effect such cure;
(c) Failure by Grantor to maintain insurance and deliver
evidence thereof pursuant to Section 10; or
(d) a default under any other mortgage, deed of trust or other
security instrument covering the Trust Property or a portion thereof which
remains uncured following the expiration of any applicable cure periods.
24. REMEDIES. (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Beneficiary may take such action or cause Trustee to take such action
permitted in law or at equity, without notice or demand, as it deems
advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Grantor and in and to the
Trust Property, by Beneficiary itself, or through Trustee or otherwise,
including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be
pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as
Beneficiary may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or
otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Beneficiary:
(i) declare the entire principal amount of the indebtedness and
Obligations secured hereby with interest accrued thereon to be
immediately due and payable;
(ii) institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial or
nonjudicial, by advertisement or otherwise, for the complete
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust in which case the Trust
Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or
21
upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or
portions and in any order or manner in accordance with the laws
of the jurisdiction in which such Trust Property is located;
(iii) with or without entry, to the extent permitted, and
pursuant to the procedures provided by, applicable law, institute

(x) pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available
under the Relevant Documents or otherwise at law or in equity or
under the Uniform Commercial Code including the right to
establish a lock box for all Rents and other receivables of

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
portions of the Trust Property.
The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this
Section 24, together with any other sums which then may be held by
Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, whether under the provisions of this
Section or otherwise, shall be applied by Beneficiary in the following order
of priority: first, on account of all reasonable costs and expenses incident
to the foreclosure proceedings, including all such items as are mentioned in
this Section 24; second, all other items which under the terms hereof
constitute secured indebtedness, which are any amounts due under this Deed of
Trust, or under the other Relevant Documents (including any amounts required
to be escrowed pursuant to Section 6(b)); third, any surplus to Grantor, its
successors or assigns, as their rights may appear.
(b) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 24,
whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of
judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale,
Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Trust Property or any part thereof
and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase

23
the expenses of the sale and costs of the action and any other sums which
Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under this Deed of Trust.
(c) No recovery of any judgment by Beneficiary and no levy of
an execution under any judgment upon the Trust Property or upon any other

powers and remedies of Beneficiary shall continue unimpaired as before.
(d) Beneficiary may adjourn, terminate or rescind any

to Beneficiary.
(e) Beneficiary may resort to any remedies and the security
given by this Deed of Trust or the other Relevant Documents in whole or in
part, and in such portions and in such order as determined by Beneficiary's
sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of
any rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by this Deed of Trust
or the other Relevant Documents. The failure of Beneficiary to exercise any
right, remedy or option provided in this Deed of Trust or the other Relevant
Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of
any covenant or obligation secured by this Deed of Trust or the other
Relevant Documents. Subject to the provisions of the Relevant Documents, no
acceptance by Beneficiary of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of
Default and no payment by Beneficiary of any obligation for which Grantor is
liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default with
respect to Grantor, or Grantor's liability to pay such obligation. No sale of
all or any portion of the Trust Property, no forbearance on the part of
Beneficiary and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any
portion of the Obligations or any other indulgence given by Beneficiary to
Grantor, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of
Beneficiary in the remaining Trust Property or the liability of Grantor to
pay the Obligations. No waiver by Beneficiary shall be effective, unless it
is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated.
(f) The interests and rights of Beneficiary under this Deed of
Trust and the other Relevant Documents, and the liens and security interests
created and evidenced by this Deed of Trust and the other Relevant Documents,
shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension
or modification which Beneficiary may grant with respect to any of the
Obligations, (ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension,
exchange or substitution which Beneficiary may grant with respect to the
Trust Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) any release or indulgence
granted to any maker, endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Obligations.
(g) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section
23, in any suit to foreclose the lien hereof or enforce any other remedy of
Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, there shall be allowed and included as
additional indebtedness in the decree for sale or other judgment or decree
all reasonable expenditures and expenses which may be paid or
24
incurred by or on behalf of Beneficiary for attorneys' fees, appraiser's
fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges,
publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be
expended after entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title,
title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, Torrens
certificates, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as
Beneficiary may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to
evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree the
true condition of the title to or the value of the Trust Property. All such
reasonable expenditures and expenses which Beneficiary may incur as permitted
by this Section for the protection of the Trust Property and the maintenance
of the lien of this Deed of Trust, including, but not limited to, the fees
and out-of-pocket disbursements of any attorney employed by Beneficiary in
any litigation or proceeding affecting this Deed of Trust, including, but not
limited to, bankruptcy proceedings or preparations for the commencement or
defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be
immediately due and payable by Grantor and shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.
25. RIGHT OF ACCESS. Grantor shall permit agents,
representatives and employees of Beneficiary to (i) inspect the Trust
Property or any part thereof, PROVIDED that such inspection does not
materially interfere with the tenants of the Trust Property or violate the
terms of any Lease, (ii) to examine and make abstracts from any of Grantor's
books and records and (iii) to discuss the business, operations, properties
and financial and other condition of Grantor with officers of Grantor and
with its independent certified public accountants, at such reasonable times
as may be requested by Beneficiary upon reasonable advance notice.
26. SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Deed of Trust is both a real
property deed of trust and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the
Uniform Commercial Code. The Trust Property includes both real and personal
property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible
in nature, of Grantor in the Trust Property. Grantor by executing and
delivering this Deed of Trust has granted and hereby grants to Beneficiary,
as security for the Obligations, a security interest in the Trust Property to
the full extent that the Trust Property may be subject to the Uniform
Commercial Code (said portion of the Trust Property so subject to the Uniform
Commercial Code being called in this paragraph the "COLLATERAL"). Grantor
hereby agrees with Beneficiary to 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
herein granted. All or part of the Trust Property is or is to become
"fixtures" as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code, and this Deed of Trust,
upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the city or county
wherein such fixtures are situated, shall also constitute a "fixture filing"
for the purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Trust
Property that is or may become fixtures. Information concerning the security
interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of
the parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust. Grantor's
chief executive office and principal place of business is the Grantor's
address set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust, and the place
where Grantor's books and
25
records in respect of where the Trust Property is located are kept is the
address of Grantor set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust. If
an Event of Default shall occur which shall remain uncured, Beneficiary, in
addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and
may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies
granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code,
(including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by law, the right to
take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other
measures as Beneficiary may deem necessary for the care, protection and
preservation of the Collateral). Upon request or demand of Beneficiary or
Trustee, Grantor shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it
available to Beneficiary at a convenient place acceptable to Beneficiary.
Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary on demand therefor any and all reasonable
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal expenses and
attorneys' fees) incurred or paid by Beneficiary in protecting the interest
in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the
Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by
Beneficiary with respect to the Collateral sent to Grantor at least ten (10)
business days prior to such action or such notice as is otherwise required by
law or the Relevant Documents, shall constitute commercially reasonable
notice to Grantor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any
part thereof, may be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the Obligations
in such priority and proportions as Beneficiary shall determine in its sole
discretion. In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of
Grantor, Grantor shall notify Beneficiary thereof and, promptly after
request, shall execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms as
are necessary to maintain the priority of Beneficiary's lien upon and
security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all expenses and fees in
connection with the filing and recording thereof. If Beneficiary shall
require the filing or recording of additional Uniform Commercial Code forms
or continuation statements, Grantor shall, promptly after request, execute,
file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements
as Beneficiary shall deem necessary, and shall pay all expenses and fees in
connection with the filing and recording thereof, it being understood and
agreed, however, that no such additional documents shall materially increase
Grantor's obligations under this Deed of Trust or the other Relevant
Documents. Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the appropriate
public office on its behalf any UCC financing statements (or related
documents) signed only by Beneficiary, as secured party, in connection with
the Collateral covered by this Deed of Trust, such appointment to terminate
upon the release of this Deed of Trust.
27. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Beneficiary has the right to
appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the
Trust Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on
behalf of Grantor, which Beneficiary, in its reasonable discretion, decides
should be brought to protect its interest under this Deed of Trust or in the
Trust Property. Subject to the foregoing, Grantor shall appear in and contest
any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof and shall
pay all reasonable costs and expenses including cost of evidence of title and
attorney's fees, in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary may
appear. Beneficiary shall, at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any
mortgage or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the
26
Obligations, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional
security for the payment of the Obligations.
28. WAIVER OF SETOFF AND COUNTERCLAIM. Except as may be
permitted under the Relevant Documents, all amounts due under this Deed of
Trust, the Notes and the other Relevant Documents shall be payable without
setoff or counterclaim whatsoever.
29. LIENS. Grantor warrants, covenants and agrees to pay and
promptly discharge, at Grantor's cost and expense, all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges levied upon it, its income and assets as and when such
taxes, assessments and charges are due and payable (including, without
limitation, all Impositions), as well as all lawful claims for labor
materials and supplies or otherwise which could become a lien, and all liens,
encumbrances and charges upon the Trust Property, or any part thereof or
interest therein; provided that the existence of any mechanic's, laborer's,
materialman's, supplier's or vendor's lien or right thereto shall not
constitute a violation of this Section if payment is not yet due under the
contract which is the foundation thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Grantor shall not be in default for failure to pay or discharge Impositions
or mechanic's or materialman's or similar lien asserted against the Trust
Property if, and so long as, (a) Grantor shall have notified Beneficiary of
same within seven (7) days of obtaining knowledge thereof; (b) Grantor shall
diligently and in good faith contest the same by appropriate legal
proceedings which shall operate to prevent the enforcement or collection of
the same and the sale of the Trust Property or any part thereof, to satisfy
the same; (c) unless funds are otherwise reserved, Grantor shall furnish to
Beneficiary such security as Beneficiary may reasonably request to insure
payment of such Impositions and to secure and indemnify Beneficiary against
any cost, expense, loss or damage in connection with such contest or
postponement of payment,; (d) Grantor shall timely upon final determination
thereof pay the amount of any such Impositions, claim, fine or penalty so
determined, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be
payable in connection therewith; (e) the failure to pay the Impositions, or
mechanic's or materialman's or similar lien claim does not constitute a
default under any other deed of trust, mortgage or security interest covering
or affecting any part of the Trust Property; and (f) notwithstanding the
foregoing, Grantor shall immediately upon request of Beneficiary pay (and if
Grantor shall fail so to do, Beneficiary may, but shall not be required to,
pay or cause to be discharged or bonded against) any such Impositions, or
claim notwithstanding such contest, if in the reasonable opinion of
Beneficiary, the Trust Property or any part thereof or interest therein may
be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, foreclosed, terminated,
canceled or lost.
30. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Beneficiary shall
have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums
which constitute a part of the Obligations as the same become due and owing,
without regard to whether or not the balance of the Obligations shall be due,
and without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to bring an
action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by
Grantor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
27
31. MARSHALING, WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND OTHER MATTERS.
Grantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all
appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement, moratorium and
redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshaling in the
event of any sale hereunder of the Trust Property or any part thereof or any
interest therein. Further, Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights
of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Deed
of Trust on behalf of Grantor, and on behalf of each and every person
acquiring any interest in or title to the Trust Property subsequent to the
date of this Deed of Trust and on behalf of all persons to the extent
permitted by applicable law.

Deed of Trust, Beneficiary exercises any right given to it to approve or
disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Beneficiary,
the decision of Beneficiary to approve or disapprove or to decide that
arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall be
28
in the sole discretion of Beneficiary and shall be final and conclusive, except
as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein.
34. NON-WAIVER. The failure of Beneficiary to insist upon
strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any term of this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall not be relieved of Grantor's
Obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Beneficiary to comply
with any request of Grantor to take any action to foreclose this Deed of
Trust or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the other
Relevant Documents, (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the
whole or any part of the Trust Property, or of any person liable for the
Obligations or any portion thereof, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by
Beneficiary extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or
supplementing the terms of this Deed of Trust or the other Relevant
Documents. Beneficiary may resort for the payment of the Obligations to any
other security held by Beneficiary in such order and manner as Beneficiary,
in its discretion, may elect. Beneficiary may take action to recover the
Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof
without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to foreclosure this
Deed of Trust. The rights and remedies of Beneficiary under this Deed of
Trust shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given
effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Beneficiary shall be
construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the
exclusion of any other provision. Beneficiary shall not be limited
exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to
every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
35. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Deed of Trust and the other Relevant
Documents constitute the final expression of the entire agreement among the
parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all
prior and contemporaneous agreements, understanding, representations or other
arrangements, whether express or implied, written or oral, of the parties in
connection herewith or therewith except to the extent expressly incorporated or
specifically referred to herein or therein. This Deed of Trust, and any
provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed,

against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension,
change, discharge or termination is sought.

Document shall be construed without such provision.

Trustee's reasonable satisfaction. Trustee, by acceptance of this Deed of Trust,
covenants to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable,
however, only for willful negligence or misconduct, and hereby waives any
statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for
any services rendered by Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof. Trustee
may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days' notice to Grantor and to
Beneficiary. Beneficiary may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time,
and select a successor trustee. In the event of the death, removal, resignation,
refusal to act, or inability to act of Trustee, or in its sole discretion for
any reason whatsoever Beneficiary may, without notice and without specifying any
reason therefor and without applying to any court, select and appoint a
successor trustee, and, if necessary, several successor Trustees in succession,
who shall succeed to all the estate, rights, powers, and duties of the original
Trustee named herein, without any other formality than an appointment and
designation in writing (or other formality required by applicable law, if any).
Such substitute trustee shall not be required to give bond for the faithful
performance of the duties of Trustee hereunder unless required by Beneficiary.
The procedure provided for in this paragraph for substitution of Trustee shall
be in addition to and not in exclusion of any other provisions for substitution,
by law or otherwise.
51. TRUSTEE'S FEES. Grantor shall pay all reasonable costs, fees
and expenses incurred by Trustee and Trustee's agents and counsel in connection
with the performance by Trustee of Trustee's duties hereunder and all such
costs, fees and expenses shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. TRUSTEE SHALL
BE INDEMNIFIED, HELD HARMLESS AND REIMBURSED BY GRANTOR FOR ANY LIABILITY,
DAMAGE OR EXPENSE, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES AND AMOUNTS PAID IN
SETTLEMENT, WHICH TRUSTEE MAY INCUR OR SUSTAIN IN CONNECTION WITH THIS DEED OF
TRUST OR IN THE DOING OF ANY ACT WHICH TRUSTEE IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED TO DO BY
THE TERMS HEREOF OR BY LAW (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ARISING FROM THE GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF TRUSTEE), AND SHALL BE REIMBURSED THEREFOR
UPON DEMAND.
33
52. SUBORDINATE LIEN. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Grantor shall be permitted to grant a subordinate lien on the
Trust Property in favor of State Street Bank and Trust Company, solely in its
capacity as trustee and collateral agent under and pursuant to the Indenture (as
hereinafter defined) (the "SUBORDINATED CREDITOR") as security for the
obligations of Grantor under that certain Indenture between Grantor and the
Subordinated Creditor dated as of July 22, 1997 (the "INDENTURE"), provided that
such lien in favor of the Subordinated Creditor is junior, subject and
subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust in accordance with and pursuant to
the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Subordination Agreement dated
as of the date hereof between Beneficiary and the Subordinated Creditor with
respect to the Trust Property (the "SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT"), and provided,
further, that any event which gives the Subordinated Creditor the right to
accelerate the obligations secured by such subordinate lien shall automatically
constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

EXHIBIT B
STATE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS (Texas)
The following provisions are incorporated by reference into
Section 48 of the attached Deed of Trust. If any conflict or inconsistency
exists between this Exhibit B and the remainder of the attached Deed of Trust,
this Exhibit B shall govern.
A. FORECLOSURE PROCEEDINGS. The provisions of Section 24
notwithstanding, foreclosure proceedings shall include without limitation
non-judicial foreclosure pursuant to a power of sale in accordance with statutes
of the State of Texas then in force governing sales of real estate under powers
of sale conferred by deed of trust. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, Grantor
authorizes and empowers the Trustee, at the request of Beneficiary (which
request is hereby conclusively presumed), to enforce this Deed of Trust by
selling, in one or more sales as Beneficiary or Trustee may elect, the Trust
Property then subject to the lien hereof at public auction, to the highest
bidder, for cash or for credit against the indebtedness secured hereby if
Beneficiary is the highest bidder, at the county court house in the county in
Texas in which such Trust Property or any part thereof is situated, as herein
described, in the area designated by the commissioners court for such purpose
pursuant to a recordation of such designation in the real property records of
such county, or if no such recorded designation by the commissioners court has
been made, in the area at the county court house designated in the notice of
proposed sale posted, filed and served in accordance with the further provisions
of this paragraph, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on the first
Tuesday of any month. The Trustee shall give notice of the time, place and terms
of said sale, and of the property to be sold as follows: (i) Notice of such
proposed sale shall be given by posting written notice thereof at least
twenty-one days preceding the date of the sale at the court house door, and by
filing a copy of the Notice in the office of the county clerk of the county in
which the sale is to be made, and if the property to be sold is situated in more
than one county, one notice shall be posted at the court house door and filed
with the county clerk of each county in which the property to be sold is
situated. In addition, Beneficiary shall, at least twenty-one days preceding the
date of sale, serve written notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on
each debtor obligated to pay the debt secured hereby according to the records of
Beneficiary. Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the
notice, enclosed in a postpaid wrapper, properly addressed to each such debtor
at the most recent address as shown by the records of Beneficiary, in a post
office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States
Postal Service. The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to the
effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact
of service; (ii) Any notice that is required or permitted to be given to Grantor
may be addressed to Grantor at Grantor's mailing address. Any notice that is to
be given by certified mail to any other debtor may, if no address for such other
debtor is shown by the records of Beneficiary, be addressed to such other debtor
at Grantor's mailing address. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph (ii), notice of such sale given in accordance with the requirements of
the applicable law of the State of Texas in effect at the time of such sale
shall constitute sufficient
notice of such sale. Grantor hereby authorizes and empowers the Trustee to sell
all or any portion of the Trust Property, together or in lots or parcels, as the
Trustee may deem expedient, and to execute and deliver to the purchaser or
purchasers of such property, good and sufficient deeds of conveyance of fee
simple title with covenants of general warranty made on behalf of the Grantor.
The recitals in the conveyance to the purchaser or purchasers of the Trust
Property shall be full and conclusive evidence of the truth of the matters
therein stated, and all prerequisites to such sale shall be presumed to have
been performed and such sale and conveyance shall be conclusive against Grantor,
its heirs, successors and assigns. In no event shall the Trustee be required to
exhibit, present or display at any such sale, any of the personalty described
herein to be sold at such sale. The Trustee making such sale shall receive the
proceeds thereof and shall apply the same as follows: (1) first, he shall pay
the reasonable expense of executing this deed of trust including a reasonable
Trustee's fee or commission; (2) second, he shall pay so far as may be possible,
the indebtedness secured hereby (the "INDEBTEDNESS"), discharging first that
portion of the indebtedness arising under the covenants or agreements herein
contained and not evidenced by the Note; (3) third, he shall pay the residue, if
any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
Payment of the purchase price to Trustee shall satisfy the
obligation of the purchaser at such sale therefor, and such purchaser shall not
be responsible for the application thereof. Said sale shall forever be a bar
against Grantor, its successors and assigns, and all other persons claiming
under it. In addition to and cumulative of the remedies provided in this clause,
the Beneficiary may foreclose or cause to be foreclosed the lien and security
interest of this instrument, in whole or in part, through judicial foreclosure,
private sale, or in any other manner as may at any time be authorized under the
laws of the State of Texas. Beneficiary shall have the right to bid for the
Trust Property and to become the purchaser at any sale made pursuant to this
clause, if it is the highest bidder therefor and in lieu of paying cash
therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the
Obligations the amount of the bid made, after deducting therefrom the expenses
of the sale, the cost of any enforcement proceeding hereunder and any other sums
which Trustee or Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under the terms hereof, to
the extent necessary to satisfy such bid. If foreclosure should be commenced by
the Trustee, the Beneficiary may at any time before the sale direct the Trustee
to abandon the sale, and may at any time or times thereafter direct the Trustee
to again commence foreclosure; or, irrespective of whether foreclosure is
commenced by the Trustee, the Beneficiary may at any time after an Event of
Default institute suit for foreclosure of the lien of this instrument. If
Beneficiary should institute suit for foreclosure of the lien of this
instrument, Beneficiary may at any time before the entry of final judgment
dismiss the same, and require the Trustee to sell all or part of the Trust
Property in accordance with the provisions of this instrument. No single sale or
series of sales by the Trustee or by any substitute or successor Trustee under
this instrument and no judicial foreclosure shall extinguish the lien or exhaust
the power of sale under this instrument except with respect to the items of
property sold, but such lien and power shall exist for so long as, and may be
exercised in any manner provided by law or as provided in this instrument as
often as the circumstances require to give Beneficiary full relief hereunder.
Grantor agrees for itself and its trustees, receivers, successors and assigns
that if any of them shall hold possession of the
Trust Property or any part thereof subsequent to foreclosure of the lien hereof,
Grantor, or the parties so holding possession, shall become and be considered as
tenants at will of the purchaser or purchasers at such foreclosure sale or
sales; and any such tenant failing or refusing to surrender possession upon
demand shall be guilty of forcible detainer and shall be liable to such
purchaser or purchasers for rental on said premises, and shall be subject to
eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law, all
damages which may be sustained by any such tenant as a result thereof being
hereby expressly waived.
The sale or sales by Trustee of less than the whole of the Trust
Property shall not exhaust the power of sale herein granted, and Trustee is
specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales under such power until
the whole of the Trust Property shall be sold; and if the proceeds of such sale
or sales of less than the whole of the Trust Property shall be less than the
aggregate of the Indebtedness, this Deed of Trust and the lien, security
interest and assignment hereof shall remain in full force and effect as to the
unsold portion of the Trust Property just as though no sale or sales had been
made; provided, however, that Grantor shall never have any right to require the
sale or sales of less than the whole of the Trust Property, but Beneficiary
shall have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than
the whole of the Trust Property. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing hereunder, Beneficiary shall have the option to proceed with
foreclosure in satisfaction of such item either through judicial proceedings or
by directing Trustee to proceed as if under a full foreclosure, conducting the
sale as herein provided without declaring the entire Indebtedness due, and if
sale is made because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on an
installment, or a part of any installment, such sale may be made subject to the
unmatured part of the Indebtedness; and it is agreed that such sale, if so made,
shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the Indebtedness, but as to
such unmatured part, this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect as
though no sale had been made under the provisions of this paragraph. Several
sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any
unmatured part of the Indebtedness. At any such sale (I) Grantor hereby agrees,
in its behalf and in behalf of its heirs, executors, administrators, successors,
personal representatives and assigns, that any and all recitals made in any
assignment of lease or deed of conveyance given by Trustee with respect to the
identity of Beneficiary, the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default,
the acceleration of the maturity of any of the Indebtedness, the request to
sell, the notice of sale, the giving of notice to all debtors legally entitled
thereto, the time, place, terms, and manner of sale, and receipt, distribution
and application of the money realized therefrom, or the due and proper
appointment of a substitute Trustee, and, without being limited by the
foregoing, with respect to any other act or thing having been duly done by
Beneficiary or by Trustee hereunder, shall be taken by all courts of law and
equity as prima facie evidence that the statements or recitals are the state of
facts and are without further question to be so accepted, and Grantor hereby
ratifies and confirms every act that Trustee or any substitute Trustee hereunder
may lawfully do in the Trust Property by virtue hereof; and (II) the purchaser
may disaffirm any easement granted, or rental, lease or other contract made, in
violation of any provision of this Deed of Trust and may take immediate
possession of the Trust Property free from, and despite the terms of, such grant
of easement and rental or lease contract.
B. FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. Section 35 of this Deed of Trust is
hereby amended by adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:
To the extent that Beneficiary is a "financial institution" as
defined in Section 26.02 of the Texas Business & Commerce Code, the following
shall apply:
THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE
FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE
NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
C. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF SURETIES. Grantor waives any right or
remedy which Grantor may have or be able to assert pursuant to Chapter 34 of the
Business and Commerce Code of the State of Texas pertaining to the rights and
remedies of sureties.
