and in such amounts as Lender shall from time to time require, for the benefit

waste, shall not do or suffer to be done anything which will increase the risk
of fire or other hazard to the Premises or any part thereof and shall cause the
Premises and Grantor's use thereof to be in compliance with all Applicable Laws.

      (c) Grantor shall not remove or demolish nor alter the design or
structural character of any part of the Premises without the written consent of
Lender and shall not seek or consent to any change of zoning of or condition of
use of the Premises.

      (d) If the Premises or any part thereof is damaged by fire or any other
cause, Grantor shall give immediate written notice of the same to Lender and
shall promptly restore the Premises to the equivalent of its original condition;

damage or taking by any governmental authority and any transfer by private sale
in lieu thereof), either temporarily or permanently, the entire Indebtedness
shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable. Lender shall
be entitled to all compensation, awards, and other payments or relief thereof
and is hereby authorized, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute,
in its own or Grantor's name, any action or proceeding relating to any
condemnation, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection therewith. All
such compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds and
the right thereto are hereby assigned by Grantor to Lender, who after deducting
therefrom all its expenses, including attorneys' fees, may release any monies so
received by it without affecting the lien of this Deed and may apply the same in
such manner as Lender shall determine, to the reduction of the Indebtedness, and
any balance of such monies then remaining shall be paid to Grantor. Grantor
agrees to execute such further assignment of any compensation, awards, damages,
claims, rights of action and proceeds as Lender may require.

      2.05. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Grantor shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender
harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities and expenses of any
and every kind whatsoever paid, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against
Lender, with respect to the presence on or under the Premises, or the leakage or
discharge, of any hazardous, toxic or dangerous substance or material
("Hazardous Material") defined as such in any Applicable Law. If Grantor
receives any notice of (i) discharge or disposal of any Hazardous Material (a
"Hazardous Discharge") affecting Grantor or the Premises or (ii) any complaint,
order, citation or notice with regard to air emissions, water discharges,
surface contaminations, noise emissions or any other environmental, health or
safety matter affecting Grantor or the Premises (an "Environmental Complaint")
from any Person, then Grantor will give, within


                                       9
   10

same to Lender. Without limitation of Lender's rights under this Deed, Lender
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter onto the Real Property or
to take such other actions as it deems necessary or advisable to clean up,

Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint upon its receipt of any notice
from any Person.

      2.06. SUBLEASES AFFECTING THE PREMISES. Grantor shall perform all
covenants to be performed by the landlord under any and all Subleases respecting
the Premises or any part thereof and shall not, without the prior written
consent of Lender, cancel, surrender or modify any Sublease which Grantor has
assigned to Lender. Upon demand, Grantor will furnish Lender copies of any
Sublease respecting the Premises or any part thereof.

      2.07. EXPENSES. Grantor will pay or reimburse Lender for all attorneys'
fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender in any action, legal proceeding or
dispute of any kind in which Lender is made a party, or appears as party
plaintiff or defendant, affecting the Indebtedness, this Deed or the interest
created herein, or the Premises, including, but not limited to, the exercise of
the power of sale of this Deed, any condemnation action involving the Premises
or any action to protect the security hereof; and any such amounts paid by
Lender shall be added to the Indebtedness.

      2.08. SUBROGATION. Lender shall be subrogated to the claims and liens of
all Persons whose claims or liens are discharged or paid with the proceeds of
any of the Indebtedness.

      2.09. PERFORMANCE BY LENDER OF DEFAULTS BY GRANTOR. If Grantor shall
default in the payment of any Tax; in the payment of any utility charge, whether
public or private; in the payment of any insurance premium; in the procurement
of insurance coverage and the delivery of the insurance policies required
hereunder; or in the performance or observance of any other covenant, condition
or term of this Deed, then Lender, at its option, may perform or observe the
same, and all payments made for costs or incurred by Lender in connection
therewith, shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately
repaid by Grantor to Lender with interest thereon at the rate of interest in


                                       10
   11
effect from time to time under the Note. Lender shall be the sole judge of the
legality, validity and priority of any such Tax, claim and premium; of the
necessity for any such actions; and of the amount necessary to be paid in
satisfaction thereof. Lender is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize
others to enter upon the Premises or any part thereof for the purpose of
performing or observing any such defaulted covenant, condition or term, without
thereby becoming liable to Grantor or any Person in possession holding under
Grantor.

      2.10. FURTHER ASSURANCES. At any time, and from time to time, upon request
by Lender, Grantor will make, execute and deliver or cause to be made, executed
and delivered, to Lender, any and all other further instruments, certificates
and other documents as may, in the opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable
in order to effectuate, complete, perfect or continue and preserve the
obligations of Grantor under the Note and this Deed and the priority of the lien
and security title of this Deed. Upon any failure by Grantor so to do, Lender
may make, execute and record any and all such instruments, certificates and
documents for and in the name of Grantor and Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints
Lender, the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor so to do.

      2.11. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS REGARDING THE LEASEHOLD
ESTATE. With respect to the Ground Lease, Grantor hereby represents, covenants
and warrants that:

            (a) The Ground Lease is in full force and effect and unmodified.

            (b) All rents (including additional rents and other charges)
      reserved in the Ground Lease and all services or other consideration to be
      provided or paid under the Ground Lease have been paid or provided to the
      extent they were payable or required prior to the date hereof.

            (c) There is no existing default under the provisions of the Ground
      Lease or in the performance of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or
      warranties thereof on the part of the lessee to be observed and performed
      beyond any applicable grace period.


                                       11
   12
            (d) Grantor has not sublet the Leasehold Estate or assigned the
      Ground Lease.

            (e) Grantor shall also provide all services required by the Ground
      Lease, for which provisions have not been made hereinbefore, when and as
      the same shall become due and payable, and shall cause the Ground Lessor
      under the Ground Lease, to the extent permitted by the Ground Lease, to
      pay any portion of said taxes, assessments, rates, charges and impositions
      to be borne by the Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease, if any, that
      might become liens on the Real Property or the Leasehold Estate when due,
      and Grantor shall in every case take, or cause to be taken, a proper
      receipt for any such item so paid by Grantor and, upon request of Lender,
      Grantor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Lender on the first day
      of the calendar month following any such payment, evidence, reasonably
      acceptable to Lender, of any such payments by Grantor and will observe and
      timely perform all of the covenants.

            (f) Grantor shall at all times promptly and faithfully keep and
      perform, or cause to be kept and performed, all the covenants and
      conditions contained in the Ground Lease by the lessee therein to be kept
      and performed. Grantor further covenants that it will not do or permit
      anything to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything,
      the omission of which, will impair the security of this Deed or will be
      grounds for declaring a forfeiture of the Ground Lease. If Grantor shall
      fail to comply with all covenants and conditions imposed upon or assumed
      by it as tenant under the Ground Lease, without waiving or releasing
      Grantor from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender may (but shall not
      be obligated to) take any action Lender deems necessary or desirable to
      prevent or to cure any default by Grantor in the compliance with any of
      Grantor's covenants under the Ground Lease. Upon receipt by Lender from
      the Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease of any written notice of default
      by tenant thereunder, Lender may rely thereon and take any action, as
      aforesaid, to cure such default even though the existence of such default
      or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Grantor or by any party
      on behalf of Grantor.


                                       12
   13
            (g) Grantor hereby expressly grants to Lender (to the extent
      permitted under the Ground Lease), and agrees that Lender shall have the
      absolute and immediate right (to the extent permitted under the Ground
      Lease), to enter in and upon the Premises or any part thereof to such
      extent and as often as Lender, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or
      desirable, in order to prevent or to cure any such default by Grantor
      under the Ground Lease beyond any applicable grace or notice period, if
      any. Lender may pay and expend such sums or money as Lender, in its sole
      discretion, deems necessary for such purpose, and Grantor hereby agrees to
      pay to Lender, promptly after written request, all such sums so paid and
      expended by Lender, together with interest thereon from the date of such
      expenditure to the date of repayment at the rate of interest determined in
      accordance with Section 8.2(c) of the Purchase Agreement (the "Default
      Rate"). All sums so paid and expended by Lender, and the interest thereon
      shall be added to and be secured by the lien of this Deed.

            (h) Grantor also covenants that it will not modify or in any way
      alter any material term of the Ground Lease or cancel or surrender the
      Ground Lease, or waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge
      the lessor thereunder of or from the obligations, covenants, conditions
      and agreements by said Ground Lessor to be done and performed; and Grantor
      does by these presents expressly release, relinquish and surrender unto
      Lender all its right, power and authority to cancel, surrender, amend,
      modify or alter in any material way the terms and provisions of the Ground
      Lease and any attempt on the part of Grantor to exercise any such right
      without the written authority and consent of Lender thereto being first
      had and obtained shall constitute a default under the terms hereof and the
      entire Indebtedness shall, at the option of Lender, become due and payable
      forthwith; however, Grantor shall duly exercise such option to renew the
      Ground Lease in the manner provided in the Ground Lease.

            (i) An Event of Default under the Purchase Agreement and under this
      Deed shall have occurred if Grantor fails (i) to give Lender immediate
      notice of any receipt by it of any notice of default from the landlord
      under the Ground Lease; (ii) to furnish to


                                       13
   14
      Lender within fifteen (15) days any and all information which it may
      reasonably request concerning the performance by the Grantor of the
      covenants of the Ground Lease; (iii) to permit forthwith Lender or its
      representative at all reasonable times to make investigation or
      examination concerning such performance; or (iv) within the applicable
      notice or grace period (if any) under the Ground Lease, to fully perform
      and comply with all agreements, covenants, terms and conditions imposed
      upon or assumed by it as tenant under the Ground Lease, or do or permit
      anything to be done, the doing of which or refrain from doing will impair
      the security of this Deed or will be grounds for declaring a forfeiture of
      the Ground Lease. Grantor further covenants and agrees that it will
      promptly deposit with Lender an original executed copy of the Ground Lease
      or a copy certified by the Grantor as true, complete and correct and any
      and all documentary evidence received by it showing compliance by Grantor
      with the provisions of the Ground Lease and will also promptly deliver to
      Lender following receipt thereof by Grantor an exact copy of any notice,
      communication, plan, specification or other Deed or document received or
      given by it in any way relating to or affecting the Ground Lease or any
      part of the Premises which may concern or affect the estate of the
      landlord, the Leasehold Estate or the leasehold premises thereby demised
      and upon the Grantor's failure so to do, Lender may, at its option,
      declare a default hereunder and an Event of Default under the Purchase
      Agreement to have occurred.

            (j) So long as any of the Indebtedness shall remain unpaid, unless
      Lender shall otherwise in writing consent, the Leasehold Estate and the
      fee estate covered by the Ground Lease shall not merge but shall always be
      kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates
      either in the Ground Lessor or in the lessee, or in a third party, by
      purchase or otherwise; and Grantor further covenants and agrees that, in
      case it shall acquire the fee title, or any other estate, title or
      interest in the leasehold premises covered by the Ground Lease, including,
      without limitation, pursuant to the purchase option or right of first
      refusal, if any, set forth in the Ground Lease, this Deed shall attach to
      or cover and be a lien upon such other estate so


                                       14
   15
      acquired, and such other estate so acquired by Grantor shall be considered
      as granted, assigned or conveyed to the Lender and the lien hereof spread
      to cover such estate with the same force and effect as though specifically
      herein, granted, assigned or conveyed.

            (k) In the event of any default by Grantor in the performance of any
      of its obligations under the Ground Lease, including, without limitation,
      any default in the payment of rent and other charges and impositions made
      payable by Grantor thereunder, which default shall continue beyond the
      applicable grace period, if any, then, in each and every case, Lender may,
      at its option and without notice, cause the default or defaults to be
      remedied and otherwise exercise any and all of the rights of Grantor
      thereunder in the name of and on behalf of Grantor. Grantor shall, on
      demand, reimburse Lender for all advances made and expenses incurred by
      Lender in curing any such default (including, without limitation,
      reasonable attorneys' fees), together with interest thereon computed at
      the Default Rate from the date that an advance is made or expense is
      incurred to and including the date the same is paid. Upon receipt by
      Lender from Ground Lessor of any written notice of default on the part of
      Grantor under the Ground Lease, Lender may rely thereon and take any
      action as Lender shall deem necessary or desirable even though the
      existence of such default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by
      or on behalf of Grantor.

            (l) Grantor expressly agrees that if there shall be filed by or
      against Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease any petition, action and/or
      proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any other similar federal and/or
      state law now or hereafter in effect (collectively hereinafter referred to
      as the "Lessor's Bankruptcy"), Grantor shall not elect to treat the Ground
      Lease as terminated, canceled and/or surrendered pursuant to applicable
      provisions of the Bankruptcy Code including, but not limited to, Section
      365(h)(1), without Lender's prior written consent. In the event of the
      Lessor's Bankruptcy, Grantor expressly covenants and agrees, intending
      that Lender rely thereon, that it shall reaffirm and ratify the legality,
      validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Ground Lease to Lender
      and Grantor also covenants and agrees that it shall remain in


                                       15


   16
         possession of the Premises and the leasehold estate created by the
         Ground Lease, notwithstanding any rejection thereof by the Landlord
         under the Ground Lease and/or any trustee, custodian, receiver or other
         similar official.

                  (m) The rights of Lender hereunder attach to all of Grantor's
         rights and remedies now and hereafter arising under or pursuant to the
         Bankruptcy Code, including, but not limited to, Grantor's right to
         elect to remain in possession of the Premises and the leasehold estate
         created by the Ground Lease in the event of the Lessor's Bankruptcy
         pursuant to Section 365(h)(1). Any such election to terminate, cancel
         and/or surrender the Ground Lease in the event of the Lessor's
         Bankruptcy without Lender's prior written consent shall be null and
         void.

                  (n) Grantor hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers, and
         sets over to Lender (i) all of Grantor's claims and rights to damages,
         and any other remedies in connection therewith arising from any
         rejection of the Ground Lease by the Ground Lessor thereunder pursuant
         to the Bankruptcy Code in the event of the Lessor's Bankruptcy, and/or
         by any trustee, custodian, receiver or other similar official. Lender
         shall have the right, but not the obligation, to proceed in its own
         name and/or in the name of Grantor in respect of any claim, suit,
         action and/or proceeding relating to such rejection of the Ground
         Lease, including, but not limited to, the right to file and prosecute,
         to the exclusion of Grantor, any and all proofs of claims, complaints,
         notices and other documents in any case in respect of the lessor of the
         Ground Lease under and pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii)
         Grantor's right of election to remain in possession of the Premises in
         the event of the Lessor's Bankruptcy under and pursuant to Section
         365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment constitutes a
         present, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the
         foregoing claims, elections, rights and remedies, and shall continue in
         full force and effect until the Note and the Indebtedness have been
         paid in full and this Deed has been satisfied and discharged. Any
         amounts received by Lender as damages arising out of the rejection of
         the Ground Lease by the Ground Lessor


                                       16
   17
         shall be applied in the manner set forth in Article III of this Deed.

                  (o) Grantor shall give Lender notice of its intention to
         exercise each and every option to extend the term of the Ground Lease
         or to exercise any purchase option under the Ground Lease at least
         twenty (20) but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration
         of the time to exercise such option under the terms of the Ground
         Lease. If Grantor intends to extend the term of the Ground Lease or to
         exercise any purchase option under the Ground Lease, it shall deliver
         to Lender, together with the notice of such decision, a copy of the
         notice of extension or exercise delivered to the Lessor. If Lender does
         not intend to extend the term of the Ground Lease or to exercise any
         purchase option under the Ground Lease, Lender may, at its option,
         exercise the option in the name and on behalf of Grantor. In any event,
         Grantor hereby appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to execute and
         deliver, for and in the name of Grantor, all instruments and agreements
         necessary under the Ground Lease or otherwise to cause any extension of
         the term of the Ground Lease or to exercise any purchase option under
         the Ground Lease. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be
         irrevocable as long as the Indebtedness secured hereby remains unpaid.

         2.12. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS REGARDING

                   SUBLEASES AND RENTS.



                  (a) Grantor hereby transfers, assigns and conveys unto Lender
         all of Grantor's right, title and interest in and to any Sublease and
         all of the Rents, reserving to Grantor a license to collect the Rents
         only so long as there is no Event of Default which shall have occurred
         and be continuing, said license to be revoked immediately upon the
         occurrence of an Event of Default and Lender's demand for the payment
         of the Indebtedness. Grantor agrees to execute and deliver such other
         instruments as Lender may require to evidence the assignment of the
         Subleases and Rents.


                                       17
   18
         Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed a consent by Lender
         to any Sublease.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the right to collect the Rents, Grantor
         agrees that Lender, and not Grantor, shall be and shall be deemed to be
         the creditor of each tenant with respect to assignments for the benefit
         of creditors, and bankruptcy, arrangement, reorganization, insolvency,
         dissolution or receivership proceedings affecting each such tenant, but
         without obligation on the part of Lender, however, to file or make
         timely filings of claims in any such proceedings, or otherwise to
         pursue a creditor's rights therein. Lender in its sole discretion may
         apply any money received by Lender as such creditor in reduction of the
         Indebtedness secured by this Deed, whether or not such Indebtedness is
         then due and payable.

                  (c) Lender shall have the right to assign Grantor's right,
         title and interest in the Subleases to any subsequent holder of this
         Deed, or to any person acquiring title to any of the Premises through
         foreclosure or otherwise. After Grantor shall have been barred and
         foreclosed of all right, title, interest, and equity of redemption in
         the Premises, no assignee of Grantor's interest in the Ground Leases
         shall be liable to account to Grantor for the Rents thereafter
         accruing.

                  (d) Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless, and
         hereby releases Lender from and against any and all liability, loss, or
         damage which Lender may incur under the Subleases or by reason of this
         assignment, and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which
         may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligation or
         undertaking to be performed or discharged by Lender under the Ground
         Lease, the Subleases or under this Deed. Nothing contained herein shall
         be construed to bind Lender or obligate Lender to perform any of the
         terms or provisions contained in the Subleases, or otherwise to impose
         any obligation on Lender whatsoever. Prior to actual entry and taking
         possession of the Premises by Lender, this assignment shall not operate
         to make Lender a "mortgagee in possession" or to place any
         responsibility for the control, care, management, or repair of the
         Premises upon Lender. Should Lender


                                       18
   19
         incur any liability by reason of actual entry and taking possession by
         Lender, or for any other reason or occurrence relating thereto, or if
         Lender should sustain loss or damage under the Ground Lease, or the
         Subleases, or under or by reason of this assignment, or in the defense
         of any claims or demands relating thereto, then, Grantor shall
         immediately upon demand reimburse Lender for the amount of such
         liability, loss or damage, together with all costs and expenses and
         attorneys' fees incurred by Lender in relation thereto, all of the
         foregoing to bear interest until paid at the Default Rate, and Lender
         may retain possession and collect the Rents and, from time to time,
         apply them in or toward satisfaction of or reimbursement for said
         liability, loss or damage, without waiving any other rights and
         remedies hereunder.

                  (e) Grantor shall duly perform and discharge each respective
         covenant, condition and obligation under the Subleases and agrees not
         to cancel, terminate, modify or otherwise vary any provision of any
         Subleases without Lender's prior written consent, or to discount any
         Rents or collect any Rents for any period of more than one month in
         advance. Grantor will give prompt written notice to Lender of any
         default under the Subleases known to Grantor, and shall furnish Lender
         with complete copies of all notices with respect thereto given or
         received by Grantor. If requested by Lender, Grantor will enforce the
         Subleases and remedies available to Grantor thereunder in the event of
         a default thereunder, and, if Grantor shall fail to so exercise such
         remedies upon request, Lender may, at its sole option and without
         obligation to do so, and without waiving any Event of Default of
         Grantor hereunder with respect thereto, enforce the same at Grantor's
         expense.

                  (f) Grantor shall, at the request of Lender, execute such
         further assignments to Lender of all Subleases and Rents, as Lender
         shall require.



                                   ARTICLE III

         3.01. EVENT OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an
"Event of Default" under this Deed:


                                       19
   20
                  (a) Failure by Grantor to pay any of the Indebtedness
         evidenced by the Note on the due date thereof (whether due at stated
         maturity, on demand, by acceleration or otherwise);

                  (b) Failure by Grantor to pay any Indebtedness (other than
         that portion evidenced by the Note) when due (whether due on demand, at
         stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise); or

                  (c) The occurrence of an event of default under the Purchase
         Agreement; or

                  (d) Failure by Grantor duly and punctually to observe, perform
         or discharge any covenant or duty in this Deed; or

                  (e) Any claim of priority to this Deed by title, lien or
         otherwise is asserted by Grantor, or is asserted and finally
         established as valid by any other Person (other than with respect to
         Permitted Liens) in any equitable or legal proceeding, whether as a
         claim, counterclaim, defense or otherwise.

         3.02. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY. Upon or after an Event of Default,
Lender may, at its option, declare all or any portion of the Indebtedness to be
(and the same shall thereupon become) immediately due and payable without notice
or demand, time being of the essence of this Deed; and no omission or delay on
the part of Lender to exercise such option when entitled so to do shall be
considered as a waiver of such right.

         3.03.  RIGHT OF LENDER TO ENTER AND TAKE POSSESSION.

         (a) Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Grantor, upon
demand of Lender, shall forthwith surrender to Lender the actual possession of
the Premises and if, and to the extent, permitted by Applicable Law, Lender may
enter and take possession of the Premises and may exclude Grantor and Grantor's
agents and employees wholly therefrom.

         (b) Upon every such entering and taking of possession, Lender may hold,
store, use, operate, manage, control, and maintain the Premises and conduct the
business thereof, and, from time to time, (i) make all necessary and proper
repairs, replacements, additions, and improvements thereto and thereon and
purchase or acquire additional


                                       20
   21
fixtures, personalty and other property; (ii) insure or keep the Premises
insured; (iii) manage and operate the Premises and exercise all the rights and
powers of Grantor in its name or otherwise, with respect to the same and (iv)
enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any
of the powers herein granted Lender, all as Lender may from time to time
determine to be to its best advantage; and Lender may collect and receive all of
the income, rents, profits, issues and revenues of the Premises, including the
past due as well as those accruing thereafter and, after deducting (aa) all
expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Premises (including
compensation for services of all Persons employed for such purposes); (bb) the
cost of all such maintenance, repairs, replacements, additions, improvements,
purchases, and acquisitions; (cc) the cost of such insurance; (dd) such Taxes
prior to the lien of this Deed as Lender may determine to pay; (ee) other proper
charges upon the Premises or any part thereof and (ff) the fees and expenses of
attorneys and agents of Lender, shall apply the remainder of the money so
received by Lender to any balance of the Indebtedness outstanding.

                  (c) Grantor irrevocably consents that the tenant(s) under the
Subleases, upon demand and notice from Lender to such tenants(s) of an Event of
Default, shall pay all Rents under the Subleases to Lender, without liability of
the tenant(s) for the determination of the actual occurrence of any Event of
Default claimed by Lender. Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the
tenant(s), upon receipt of any notice of Lender stating that an Event of Default
has occurred, to pay to Lender the Rents due and to become due under the Leases.
Grantor agrees that the tenant(s) shall have the right to rely upon any such
notices of Lender, and that tenant(s) shall pay such Rents to Lender, without
any obligation and without any right to inquire as to whether an Event of
Default has actually occurred, and notwithstanding any claim of or notice by
Grantor to the contrary. Grantor shall have no claim against tenant(s) for any
Rents paid by such tenant(s) to Lender. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed to obligate Lender to discharge or perform the duties of a lessor to
any tenant or to impose liability upon Lender as the result of any exercise by
Lender of its rights under this Deed, and Lender shall be liable to account only
for the Rents, incomes and profits actually received by Lender.


                                       21
   22
         (d) For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section
3.03, Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Lender the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of Grantor to do and perform, from time to time, any and all
actions necessary and incidental to such purpose and does, by these presents,
ratify and confirm any and all actions of said attorney-in-fact in the Premises.

         3.04.  APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER.

         (a) Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, upon
application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled, without
notice and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Indebtedness
or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a
receiver to take possession of and to operate the Premises and to collect the
rents, profits, issues, and revenues thereof.

         (b) Grantor will pay to Lender upon demand all expenses, including
receiver's fees, attorneys' fees, costs and agent's compensation, incurred
pursuant to this Section 3.04; and all such expenses shall constitute part of
the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Deed.

         3.05. POWER OF SALE. Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender, at its option, may sell the Premises or any part of the
Premises at public sale or sales before the door of the courthouse of the county
in which the Premises or any part of the Premises is situated, to the highest
bidder for cash, in order to pay the Indebtedness and accrued interest thereon
and all expenses of the sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith,
including attorneys' fees, if incurred, after advertising the time, place and
terms of sale once a week for four (4) weeks in a newspaper in which sheriff's
sales are advertised in said county. Lender may bid and purchase at such sale.
At any such public sale, Lender may execute and deliver to the purchaser a
conveyance of the Premises or any part of the Premises in fee simple with full
warranties of title and to this end, Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints
Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor to make such sale and
conveyance, and thereby to divest Grantor of all right, title or equity that
Grantor may have in and to the Premises and to vest the same in the purchaser or
purchasers at such sale or sales, and all the acts and doings of said agent and
attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed and any recitals in said


                                       22
   23
conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding
on Grantor. The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled
with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise, are granted as
cumulative of the other remedies provided by law for collection of the
Indebtedness and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof but may be
exercised until full payment of all sums secured hereby. Upon any such public
sale pursuant to the aforementioned power of sale and agency, the proceeds of
said sale shall be applied first to the costs and expenses of such sale and of
all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
and the balance shall be applied to the remainder of the Indebtedness. Any
excess shall be paid to Grantor or to such other Person as may be required by
Applicable Law.

         3.06. GRANTOR AS TENANT HOLDING OVER. In the event of any such public
sale pursuant to the aforesaid power of sale and agency, Grantor shall be deemed
a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or
purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of
law applicable to tenants holding over.

         3.07. DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS AND RESTORATION OF THE PARTIES. In
case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right of remedy under this Deed
by receiver, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely
to Lender, then and in every such case Grantor and Lender shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies
of Lender shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken.

         3.08. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or
reserved to Lender by this Deed is intended to be exclusive of any other right,
power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be
cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute.
