Grantor covenants that it is the lawful leasehold owner of the Premises being conveyed hereby, has a good right to convey it, and the same is unencumbered, except for the liens granted in favor of Beneficiary under the terms of the Lease Agreement. Grantor further represents and covenants that as of the date hereof: (i) the Lease Agreement, a memorandum of which is recorded in the Clerk of the Circuit Court in Roanoke, Virginia, is in full force and effect, (ii) there are no conditions or events that exist or that, with the passage of time or notice or both, would exist, that would entitle Beneficiary, in its capacity as the lessor under the Lease Agreement, to terminate the Lease Agreement and that all rents and other amounts due and payable under the Lease Agreement have been paid in full to the extent they were payable before the date of this Deed of Trust; (iii) neither Grantor, in its capacity as the lessee under the Lease Agreement, nor Beneficiary, in its capacity as the lessor under the Lease Agreement has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating the Lease Agreement; (iv) the interest of the tenant under the Lease Agreement is vested in the Grantor; and (v) the quiet and peaceful possession of the Premises is vested in the Grantor under the Lease Agreement.

This conveyance is made to secure the payment and performance of all of the Secured Indebtedness. (d) Nothing in this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document shall constitute the agreement by Beneficiary to assume any obligations of Grantor with respect to the Premises including, without limitation, any obligations under the Lease Agreement, and Grantor shall defend, indemnify and hold Beneficiary harmless against any claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses, or other obligations incurred with respect to the Premises as a result of this Deed of Trust or the Note, or any of the transactions described herein or therein (this covenant to survive the repayment of the Secured Indebtedness, the termination of this Deed of Trust, the exercise of any rights hereunder and the acceptance of any deeds in lieu of foreclosure or similar documents, and shall continue until the expiration of any applicable periods of limitation with respect to any of the foregoing matters). TO PROTECT THE SECURITY OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, GRANTOR HEREBY COVENANTS AND AGREES UNTO TRUSTEE AND BENEFICIARY AS FOLLOWS: Payment of Secured Indebtedness. Grantor shall pay and perform when due the Secured Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Note and the other Credit Documents. Compliance with Lease Agreement. Grantor shall: (i) pay all rents and other amounts required to be paid by Grantor, as a tenant under and pursuant to the provisions of the Lease Agreement, as and when those rents and other amounts are payable or within any applicable cure period provided for in the Lease Agreement; (ii) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease Agreement when due or within any applicable cure periods provided for in the Lease Agreement; and (iii) in the event Beneficiary is not also the lessor under the Lease Agreement, promptly notify Beneficiary of the giving of any notice by Grantor or the landlord under the Lease Agreement of any default of the other in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease Agreement and promptly provide Beneficiary a copy of any such notices or any other requests or other materials at any time provided by the Grantor to such lessor or by such lessor to the Grantor. Grantor shall not surrender the leasehold estate created by the Lease Agreement except upon the expiration of the term provided for therein or terminate or cancel the Lease Agreement prior to the expiration of the term provided for therein or, at anytime that Beneficiary is not also the lessor under the Lease Agreement, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Lease Agreement, in any respect, either orally or in writing, without the consent of Beneficiary, and Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary as further security for the payment and performance of the Secured Indebtedness, the right to exercise on behalf of Grantor from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Grantor, as tenant under the Lease Agreement, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Lease Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter, or amend the Lease Agreement, and any such surrender of the leasehold estate or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Lease Agreement without the prior written consent of Beneficiary at a time when Beneficiary is not also the lessor under the Lease Agreement shall be null and void and of no force and effect. At any time that Beneficiary is not also the lessor under the Lease Agreement, Grantor shall not waive any material default by the lessor under the Lease Agreement without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. If the Grantor shall default in the performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition in the Lease Agreement and shall fail to cure such default within any applicable cure period set forth in the Lease, then without limiting the generality of the other provision of this Deed of Trust, and without waiving or releasing Grantor from any of its obligations hereunder, Beneficiary shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease Agreement on the part of Grantor to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Grantor to the end that the rights of Grantor in, to and under the Lease Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default, even if the existence of such Event of Default or its nature is questioned or denied by Grantor or by any party on behalf of Grantor. If Beneficiary shall make any payment or perform any act or take any action in accordance with the preceding provisions, then the payment, performance or action shall not remove or waive, as between Grantor and Beneficiary, the Event of Default hereunder, and Grantor shall immediately reimburse Beneficiary for all amounts paid with interest thereon at the Default Rate provided in the Note, which amount shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. Upon request by Beneficiary or as otherwise required, in the event that Beneficiary is not also the lessor under the Lease Agreement, then Grantor shall provide Beneficiary with receipts and other evidence of payment of the rents and other sums payable under the Lease Agreement. At any time that Beneficiary is not also the lessor under the Lease Agreement, Grantor will not subordinate or consent to the subordination of the Lease Agreement to any mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other interest on or in the landlord's interest in all or any part of the Premises unless, in each such case, the written consent of Beneficiary shall have been first had and obtained. Grantor shall not knowingly take any other action which would have a material effect on the terms of the Lease Agreement or otherwise affect Grantor's rights in and to the Premises. Beneficiary and any persons authorized by Beneficiary shall have the right to enter and inspect the Premises on reasonable advance notice and at all reasonable times and access thereto shall be permitted for that purpose. Possession of Premises; No Assignments or Liens. Grantor shall not sell, exchange, assign, loan, deliver, lease, transfer, mortgage or otherwise dispose of or encumber all or any portion of the Premises, other than sales or other dispositions of the personal property or fixtures located thereat in the ordinary course of business, assignments of the Lease or any portion thereof or subletting of the Premises or any portion thereof in accordance with the terms of the Lease Agreement and encumbrances of the Premises or any portion thereof permitted by the terms of the Lease Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor agrees not to assign the Lease Agreement or any of its rights or obligations thereunder or sublet the Premises or any part thereof without the concurrent payment in full of the portion of the Secured Indebtedness required to be prepaid upon such assignment in accordance with the terms of the Note. Grantor further agrees not to create, incur, assume or permit to exist any mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, assignment, security interest, encumbrance, lien (statutory or otherwise), preference, priority or charge of any kind on Grantor's rights and interests in the Premises or any part thereof (other than liens allowed pursuant to the Lease Agreement). Environmental Matters. Grantor shall indemnify and hold Trustee and Beneficiary harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, liabilities and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by either Beneficiary or Trustee arising out of or relating to (i) the presence as a result of the acts or omissions of Grantor of any Hazardous Materials on the Premises or on any other real property now or hereafter securing payment of the Secured Indebtedness and (ii) any violation or alleged violation of Applicable Law attributable to events occurring from and after Grantor's acquisition of any interest in the Premises (including Grantor's leasehold interest or the exacerbation of prior existing conditions by the acts, omissions or negligence of Grantor). Grantor understands and agrees that the indemnity provided herein shall survive the payment and performance of the Secured Indebtedness, the termination of this Deed of Trust, the exercise of any rights hereunder and the acceptance of any deeds in lieu of foreclosure or similar documents, and shall continue in full force and effect until the expiration of any applicable periods of limitation with respect to any loss or liability covered by such indemnity. As used in this Deed of Trust, the term "Hazardous Materials" shall mean all materials defined as a hazardous or toxic waste or substance under any Applicable Law, and petroleum, petroleum products, oil and asbestos. The representations, covenants and indemnities contained in this Section 7 are to be in addition to and not in lieu of any similar representations, covenants or indemnities contained in any other Credit Document. Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Deed of Trust: should Grantor fail to pay or perform the Secured Indebtedness or any part thereof when and as the same shall become due and payable (subject to any applicable cure periods provided in the Credit Documents); should any warranty or representation of Grantor contained herein or in any of the other Credit Documents prove untrue in any material aspect; or should Grantor fail to keep, observe, perform, carry out and execute the covenants, agreements, obligations and conditions set out herein or in any other Credit Document when due or within any applicable cure period. Remedies Upon Default; Power of Sale. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Trustee or Beneficiary may declare all Secured Indebtedness to be due and payable and the same shall thereupon become due any payable without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind. Thereafter, Trustee and Beneficiary may: Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, enter upon and take possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, in its own name, and do any acts which it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Premises, or part thereof or interest therein, increase the income therefrom or protect the security hereof and, with or without taking possession of the Premises, sue for or otherwise collect the Rents, including those past due and unpaid. The entering upon and taking possession of the Premises, the collection of such Rents, and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any act done in response to such Event of Default and, notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Premises or the collection, receipt and application of Rents, Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in any of the Credit Documents or by law or equity upon occurrence of any Event of Default, including the right to exercise the power of sale herein provided. Proceed to foreclose this leasehold Deed of Trust by judicial proceedings or may, at the option of Trustee or Beneficiary, proceed to advertise the sale of the Premises in the way and manner required by law in the Commonwealth of Virginia for foreclosure sales under power of sale, giving the time, terms and place of sale, and dispose of the Premises at public auction in front of the Courthouse of the County in which the Premises or any part are located, to the highest and best bidder for cash in hand or for such other consideration as Trustee or Beneficiary may elect to accept. Trustee need not personally attend or conduct such sale and may, at its option, cause the sale to be conducted by an agent or attorney selected by it. Trustee, Beneficiary may bid at such sale. Trustee is hereby authorized to make to the purchaser at such sale all necessary title papers and place the purchaser in peaceable possession of the Premises. Trustee shall collect the proceeds of such sale, applying such proceeds as provided in Section 14. Grantor agrees that possession of the Premises during the existence of the Secured Indebtedness by Grantor, or any person claiming under Grantor, shall be that of tenant under Trustee, and, in case of a sale, as herein provided, Grantor or any person in possession under Grantor shall then become and be tenants holding over, and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser at such sale, or be summarily dispossessed in accordance with the provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over. The power and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable and are in addition to any and all other remedies which Trustee or Beneficiary may have at law or in equity. Assignment of Leases and Rents. The assignment of Leases and Rents contained in this Deed of Trust, shall constitute an absolute assignment of such Leases and Rents to Trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary and to Beneficiary, and Grantor hereby assigns and transfers to Trustee and to Beneficiary all of such Leases and Rents as security for the prompt payment and performance of all of the Secured Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the assignment of Leases and Rents contained in this Deed of Trust, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Grantor shall have a license (such license to be deemed revoked upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to collect, retain and enjoy all Rents (provided such are paid no more than 30 days in advance), provided that the existence or exercise of any such right of Grantor shall not operate to subordinate the assignment of Leases and Rents contained in this Deed of Trust to any subsequent assignment, in whole or in part, by Grantor, and any subsequent assignment by Grantor shall be subject to the rights of Trustee and Beneficiary hereunder. The assignment of Leases and Rents contained in this Deed of Trust shall not be deemed or construed to constitute Trustee or Beneficiary as a mortgagee in possession nor obligate Trustee or Beneficiary to take any action or to incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability or to permit Grantor to enter into any Leases except in accordance with the terms of this Deed of Trust. Uniform Commercial Code. For the purpose of noting the names and addresses of the debtor and the secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Virginia, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Grantor's (debtor's) name is Emeritus Corporation and the Beneficiary's (secured -------------------- party's) name is HRT Holdings, Inc., and the addresses of the Grantor (debtor) and Beneficiary (secured party) are set forth above. In addition to all other remedies set forth in this Deed of Trust, the parties expressly agree that with respect to the portion of the Premises constituting fixtures and personal property (tangible and intangible) which are the property of Grantor, this Deed of Trust is hereby made and declared to be a security agreement in compliance with the provisions of Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary a continuing security interest in the Premises as security for the prompt payment and performance of all of the Secured Indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, in addition to all other remedies contained in this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall have all remedies available to a secured party pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in Virginia. Payment of Costs of Exercising Remedies. Grantor covenants and agrees to pay Trustee and Beneficiary all reasonable expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Trustee or Beneficiary for attorneys' fees, appraiser's fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs, costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expanded after entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, certificates of title, and similar data and assurances with respect to title, environmental audits and other items as Trustee or Beneficiary may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to bidders at any sale the true condition of the title to or the value of the Premises and other reasonable expenditures and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Beneficiary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Deed of Trust. All expenditures and expenses of the nature in this paragraph mentioned, and such expenses and fees as may be reasonably incurred in the protection of the Premises and the maintenance of the interest of this Deed of Trust, including the fees of any attorney employed by Trustee or Beneficiary in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Deed of Trust or the Premises, including probate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparations for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be immediately due and payable by Grantor, with interest thereon at the Default Rate provided in the Note and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. Grantor's Waiver of Certain Rights. Grantor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that hereafter may be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Premises, and (ii) in any way extending the time for the enforcement of the collection under the Note or the debt evidenced thereby or any other Secured Indebtedness or creating or extending a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting said Secured Indebtedness. To the full extent Grantor may do so, Grantor agrees that Grantor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Grantor, for Grantor, Grantor's representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Premises, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption (including, without limitation, the statutory rights of redemption and the equity of redemption) homestead, dower, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the Secured Indebtedness, and marshalling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created. Proceeds of Foreclosure. The proceeds of any foreclosure sale of the Premises or from the exercise of other rights hereunder shall be distributed and applied in the following order of priority: First, on account of all costs and expenses incident to the execution of this trust and incident to the foreclosure proceedings, including all such items as are mentioned in Section 12 hereof; Second, all other items which under the terms hereof constitute Secured Indebtedness additional to the principal amount evidenced by the Note or under any other Secured Indebtedness, with interest thereon as herein provided; Third, all principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Note and the other Secured Indebtedness in such manner as Beneficiary may elect in its sole discretion (and subject to the provisions of the Note); Fourth, any overage to the order of Grantor, its successors or assigns, as their rights may appear or to such other persons that may lawfully be entitled thereto. Appointment of Receiver. Trustee and Beneficiary in any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust, or upon any Event of Default, shall be at liberty to apply for appointment of a receiver of the Premises. Such appointment may be made without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Grantor at the time of application for such receiver and without regard to the then value of the Premises or whether the same shall be then occupied as a homestead or not, and Beneficiary may be appointed as such receiver. Such receiver shall have power: (a) to collect the Rents subject, however, to the rights of the lessor under the Lease Agreement (in the event Beneficiary is not also the lessor under the Lease Agreement); (b) to extend or modify any then existing leases (including the Lease Agreement) and to make new leases, which extensions, modifications and new leases may provide for terms to expire, or for options to lessees or lessors to extend or renew terms to expire, beyond the maturity date of the Secured Indebtedness and beyond the date of the issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale; provided, however, that any such leases, and the options or other such provisions to be contained therein, shall only be binding upon Grantor and all persons whose interests in the Premises are subject to this Deed of Trust to the extent that they do not increase or extend the obligations imposed on Grantor under the Lease Agreement at the time of the appointment of the receiver; and (c) all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Premises. The court from time to time may authorize the receiver to apply the net income in its hands in payment in whole or part of: (i) the Secured Indebtedness, or any tax, special assessment or other lien which may be or become superior to this Deed of Trust or of such decree, provided such application is made prior to foreclosure sale; and (ii) the deficiency in case of a sale and deficiency. Rights of Enforcement. Trustee and Beneficiary shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any Secured Indebtedness and to exercise all rights and powers under this Deed of Trust or under any other Credit Document or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the Secured Indebtedness, may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed to secure debt, mortgage, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Deed of Trust nor its enforcement whether by court action or other powers herein contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect the right of Trustee or Beneficiary to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Trustee or Beneficiary, it being agreed that Trustee and Beneficiary shall be entitled to enforce this Deed of Trust and any other security now or hereafter held by Trustee or Beneficiary in such order and manner as it may in its absolute discretion determine. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Every power or remedy given by any of the other Credit Documents to Trustee or Beneficiary or to which it may be otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as it may be deemed expedient by Trustee and Beneficiary and Trustee and Beneficiary may pursue inconsistent remedies. No delay by Trustee or Beneficiary in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Credit Document, or otherwise afforded by law, shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude the exercise thereof upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. No failure by Trustee or Beneficiary to insist upon the strict performance by Grantor under the Note, this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document shall constitute a waiver of any such covenant or agreement, and no waiver by Trustee or Beneficiary of any Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of or consent to any subsequent Event of Default. No failure of Trustee or Beneficiary to exercise the option herein granted to accelerate the maturity of the Secured Indebtedness, nor any forbearance by Trustee or Beneficiary before or after the exercise of such option, nor any withdrawal or abandonment by Trustee or Beneficiary of the exercise of the power of sale herein granted or any of Trustee's or Beneficiary's rights under such power, shall be construed as a waiver of any option, power or right of Trustee or Beneficiary hereunder. In case of any sale under this Deed of Trust by virtue of the exercise of the power herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceedings or otherwise, at the election of Trustee or Beneficiary, the Premises or any part thereof may be sold in one parcel and as an entirety, or in such parcels, manner or order as Trustee or Beneficiary in its sole discretion may elect, and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish or exhaust the power unless the entire Premises are sold or the Secured Indebtedness paid in full. No Merger of Fee and Leasehold Estates; Rejection of Lease Agreement. So long as any portion of the Secured Indebtedness shall remain unpaid or unperformed or any obligations of Grantor exist in connection therewith, and unless Beneficiary shall otherwise consent, the fee title to the Premises and the leasehold estate therein created by the provisions of the Lease Agreement or other lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estate in Grantor, Trustee, Beneficiary, or any other person by purchase, operation of law or otherwise. Beneficiary reserves the right, at any time, to release portions of the Premises including, but not limited to, the leasehold estate created by the Lease Agreement, with or without consideration, at Beneficiary's election, without waiving or affecting any of its rights hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, and any such release shall not affect Beneficiary's rights in connection with the portion of the Premises not so released. If Grantor should become the owner and holder of the fee title to the Premises and the Secured Indebtedness related thereto shall not have been prepaid in accordance with the terms of the Note, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall spread to cover Grantor's fee title to the Premises and the fee title shall be deemed to be included in the Premises. if the Lease Agreement is terminated for any reason in the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease Agreement pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 101 et seq. ~ as the same may be amended (the "Code") or any other law affecting creditors' rights: (i) Grantor, immediately after obtaining notice thereof, shall give notice thereof to Beneficiary; (ii) Grantor, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, shall not elect to treat the Lease Agreement as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law, and any election by Grantor made without such consent shall be void; and (iii) this Deed of Trust and all of the liens, terms, covenants and conditions of this Deed of Trust shall extend to and cover Grantor's possessory rights under Section 365(h) of the Code and to any claim for damages due to the rejection of the Lease Agreement or other termination of the Lease Agreement. In addition, Grantor hereby assigns irrevocably to Beneficiary Grantor's rights to treat the Lease Agreement as terminated under Section 365(h) of the Code and to offset rents under the Lease Agreement in the event that any case, proceeding or other action is commenced by or against the landlord under the Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law, provided that Beneficiary shall not exercise such rights and shall permit Grantor to exercise such rights with the prior written consent of Beneficiary, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary Grantor's right to reject the Lease Agreement under Section 365 of the Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law with respect to any case, proceeding or other action commenced by or against Grantor under the Code or comparable federal or state statute or law, provided that Beneficiary shall not exercise such right, and shall permit Grantor to exercise such right with the prior written consent of Beneficiary, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary, Grantor's right to seek an extension of the 60-day period within which Grantor must accept or reject the Lease Agreement under Section 365 of the Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law with respect to any case, proceeding or other action commenced by or against Grantor under the Code or comparable federal or state statute or law, provided the Beneficiary shall not exercise such right, and shall permit Grantor to exercise such right with the prior written consent of Beneficiary, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that the assignment provided for herein shall only be effective at such time, if any, as Beneficiary is not also the lessor under the Lease Agreement.

If any provision of this Deed of Trust or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent: (i) the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Deed of Trust, and the validity and enforceability of that provision with respect to other persons and circumstances, shall not be affected; (ii) such provision, as to such person or circumstance shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision consistent with applicable law; and (iii) such provision shall be valid, enforceable and enforced in its modified form against such person or in such circumstance.
