Section 1.2Assignment of Leases and Rents. Borrower and Operator each hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Lender all of Borrower’s and Operator’s right, title and interest in and to all current and future Leases and Rents; it being intended by Borrower and Operator that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only.

Section 1.3Security Agreement. This Deed of Trust is both a real property mortgage and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code.

By executing and delivering this Deed of Trust, Borrower and Operator each hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter defined), a security interest in all Property, including without limitation the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and Rents to the full extent that such Property, including without limitation the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and Rents may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the “Collateral”).

Upon request or demand of Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower and Operator each shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower and Operator shall pay to Lender
-8-
within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, any and allout-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Grantor in accordance withSection 10.6 of the Loan Agreement at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Grantor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. The principal place of business of Borrower and Operator (each, debtor) is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Lender (secured party) is as set forth on page one hereof.
Section 1.4Fixture Filing. Certain of the Property is or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land, and this Deed of Trust, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become fixtures.
Section 1.5Pledges of Monies Held. Grantor hereby pledges to Lender all of its respective right, title and interest in and to any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of Lender in connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Clearing Account, the Cash Management Account, the Reserve Funds and Net Proceeds, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied or distributed as provided in this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents.
Section 1.6Notice To Lessees. Each of Borrower and Operator hereby authorizes and directs the lessees named in the Leases or any other future lessees or occupants of the Property (and, as applicable, any guarantors under any Lease Guaranties) to pay over to Lender or to such other party as Lender directs all Rents and all sums due under any Lease or Lease Guaranties upon receipt from Lender of written notice to the effect that Lender is then the holder of this Deed of Trust and that an Event of Default exists and is continuing, and to continue to do so until otherwise notified by Lender.
Section 1.7Assignment of Contracts. Grantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Lender all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Contracts (defined below), to the extent assignable, it being intended that this assignment be an absolute assignment from Grantor to Lender and not merely the granting of a security interest. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Grantor may retain, use and enjoy the benefits of the Contracts. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than the Event of Defaults described inSection 8.1(a)(vi) andSection 8.1(a)(vii) of the Loan Agreement for which the revocation hereinafter described shall be automatic and simultaneous with the occurrence of any such Event of Default), the license described in the preceding sentence shall, upon Lender’s election, be automatically revoked, and Lender may elect to exercise any and all of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder. After such a revocation, Lender
-9-
shall provide Grantor with notice of same.

Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Borrower or Operator resulting from Lender’s failure to let the Property after an Event of Default or from any other act or omission of Lender in managing the Property after an Event of Default unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct, fraud, illegal acts, or gross negligence of Lender.

Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 herein and Section 9.3 of the Loan Agreement without first resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and without first having recourse to the Note or any of the Property, through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event Lender commences a foreclosure action against the Property, subject to Section 9.3 of the Loan Agreement Lender is entitled to pursue a deficiency judgment with respect to such obligations against Borrower.

The exercise by Lender of any option granted it inSection 7.1 of this Deed of Trust and the collection of the Rents and sums due under the Leases and Lease Guaranties and the application thereof as herein provided shall not be considered a waiver of any default by Borrower or Operator under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Leases, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents to which each is a party. The failure of Lender 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 Lender to comply with any request of Grantor or any other party to take any action to enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, (b) the release regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property from the liens created by the Loan Documents (except to the extent expressly set forth in any documents evidencing or effecting such release), or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of this Deed of Trust, the Loan Agreement, the Note, or the other Loan Documents (except to the extent expressly set forth in any such agreement or stipulation). Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in connection with the Loan in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may take any action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to enforce its rights under this
-24-
Deed of Trust. The rights of Lender under this Deed of Trust shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others.
