in the manner provided in the Relevant Documents and in this Deed of Trust.
All the representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and agreements of
Grantor contained in the Relevant Documents are hereby made a part of this
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
terms, covenants, conditions and provisions set forth in the Relevant
Documents, then the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the
Relevant Documents shall prevail.
Grantor warrants that Grantor has good, marketable and
insurable fee simple title to Land and the Improvements and has good title to
the remainder of the Trust Property and has the full power, authority and right
to execute, deliver and perform its 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 and in good
standing in the State in which the Trust Property is located, and to the extent
that Grantor is not so qualified or in good standing in such State, Grantor
shall promptly qualify to do business and become in good standing in such State
and shall promptly present evidence of such qualification to do business and
good standing to Beneficiary, and shall in any event take such steps as are
necessary to insure the enforceability of the Notes and this Deed of Trust.
4. TAXES. Grantor hereby warrants, covenants and agrees to pay
before any penalty attaches all real property taxes, general and special, and
all other taxes and assessments of any kind or nature whatsoever, against the
Trust Property when due and shall, upon written request, furnish to Beneficiary
duplicate receipts therefor, Grantor may, in good faith and with reasonable
diligence, contest the validity or amount of any such taxes or assessments
provided that such contest shall have the effect of preventing 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, disbursements and court
costs, and all risk of damage to property and injury 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
proceedings for the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust for the
Obligations then due and payable subject to the continuing lien
of this Deed of Trust, in accordance with the laws of the
jurisdiction in which such Trust Property is located, for the
balance of the Obligations not then due;
(iv) sell for cash or upon credit the Trust Property or any part

(ix) require Grantor to pay monthly in advance to Beneficiary, or

Property or to such receiver and, in default thereof, evict
Grantor by summary proceedings or otherwise; and
(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
Grantor relating to the Trust Property.
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 price by
crediting upon the Obligations the net sales price after deducting therefrom
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 property
of Grantor shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Deed of
Trust upon the Trust Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers
or remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and
remedies of Beneficiary shall continue unimpaired as before.
(d) Beneficiary may adjourn, terminate or rescind any proceeding
or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided
in this Section 24 at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in
Beneficiary's sole discretion and without prejudice 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,
discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of

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

Document shall be construed without such provision.

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

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.
