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 such
compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds and to
settle or compromise any claim in connection therewith. Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints each Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact for the purposes
set forth in the preceding sentence. In the event that Grantor acquires any real

                  1.6.4 OBLIGATION TO REPAIR. If all or any part of the Property
shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or shall be damaged or
taken through the exercise of the power of eminent domain or other cause
described in Section 1.6.3, the rights and responsibilities of the Grantor to
restore and repair the Property and the disposition and use of the proceeds,

Beneficiary under the First Priority Documents.

any amount required to be paid by Grantor under any provision of this Deed of
Trust, the Beneficiaries may (but shall not have the obligation or duty to) pay
the same. Grantor shall pay to any Beneficiary which has made such payment on
demand the amount so paid by such Beneficiary together with interest at a rate
equal to the highest rate payable under such Beneficiary's respective Loan
Agreement after the occurrence of an "Event of Default", as such term is defined
in such Beneficiary's respective Loan Agreement (the "DEFAULT RATE"), and the
amount so paid by such Beneficiary, together with interest at the Default Rate,
shall be added to Borrower's Liabilities.

         1.8 CARE OF THE PROPERTY. Grantor shall preserve and maintain the
Property in good operating condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Except

thereafter to be re-recorded, re-registered and refiled at such time and in such
offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by the Beneficiaries, any and
all such further mortgages, security agreements, financing statements,

obligations under, this Deed of Trust.

         1.11 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. The assignment of rents, income and other
benefits contained in Section (E) of the Granting Clauses of this Deed of Trust
shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of any party
hereto, and, specifically, the Beneficiaries shall be entitled, at their option,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, and subject to the rights
of the First Beneficiary under the First Priority Documents, to all rents,
income and other benefits from the Property, whether or not the Beneficiaries
take possession of such property. Such assignment and grant shall continue in
effect until Borrower's Liabilities are paid in full and all obligations of the
Beneficiaries under their respective Debt Instruments have been terminated, the
execution of this Deed of Trust constituting and evidencing the irrevocable
consent of Grantor to the entry upon and taking possession of the Property by
the Beneficiaries pursuant to such grant, whether or not foreclosure proceedings
have been instituted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred, Grantor shall have a revocable license to continue to

on, or attached to, or used or intended to be used in connection with, or with
the operation of, the Property or any part thereof.

         1.13 LEASES AFFECTING PROPERTY. Grantor shall comply with and perform
in a complete and timely manner all of its obligations as landlord under all
leases affecting the Property or any part thereof. The assignment contained in

provided in any lease.

         1.14 MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY. Grantor shall cause the Property to be
managed at all times in accordance with sound business practice.

                  (e) Any loss, damage, cost, expense or liability incurred by a
Beneficiary as a result of a breach or misrepresentation by Grantor or for which
Grantor is responsible or for which Grantor has indemnified a Beneficiary shall
be paid to such Beneficiary on demand, and, failing prompt reimbursement, such
amounts shall, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date
incurred by such Beneficiary, until paid by Grantor, be added to Borrower's
Liabilities, be immediately due and payable and be secured by the lien of this
Deed of Trust and the other Debt Instruments.

         1.18 FIRST PRIORITY DOCUMENTS. (a) With respect to that certain Credit
Line Deed of Trust dated as of June 18, 2002, executed by Grantor in favor of
Mary Clare Eros for the benefit of First Beneficiary with respect to the
Property (the "FIRST DEED OF TRUST") as well as the Loan Agreement (as defined
in the First Deed of Trust) and other Loan Instruments (as defined in the First
Deed of Trust), (together with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
collectively, the "FIRST PRIORITY DOCUMENTS"), Grantor covenants and agrees to
give Beneficiaries notice of any uncured default following any applicable grace
period by any party under the First Priority Documents within ten (10) days of
Grantor becoming aware of such default and promptly to deliver to Beneficiaries
a copy of each notice of default and all other notices, amendments,
communications, plans, specifications and other statements, responses, similar
instruments received or delivered by Grantor in connection with the First
Priority Documents.

                  (b) With respect to the First Priority Documents, Grantor
hereby warrants and represents as follows: (i) the First Priority Documents are
in full force and effect on the date hereof; (ii) all payments payable under the
First Priority Documents have been paid to the extent that they are payable to
the date hereof; (iii) on the date hereof, Grantor is not in default under

<PAGE>

any of the terms of the First Priority Documents and to the best of Grantor's
knowledge, there are no circumstances which, with the passage of time or the
giving of notice or both, would constitute a default; and (iv) Grantor has
delivered to Beneficiaries, true, accurate and complete copies of the First
Priority Documents.

                  (c) Grantor shall obtain and deliver to each Beneficiary,
within twenty (20) days after written demand therefor by such Beneficiary but
not more than two (2) times in any calendar year, with respect to the First
Priority Documents, an estoppel certificate from the First Beneficiary stating
(i) the outstanding amount secured thereunder, (ii) the date to which interest
and principal, if any, has been paid, (iii) the maturity date thereof, (iv) that
the First Priority Documents have not been modified or amended in any manner
except as set forth therein, (v) whether or not First Beneficiary has been
notified by Grantor of a default thereunder, and if so, a statement setting
forth the nature thereof in reasonable detail, together with a copy of any
written notification of such default, and (vi) whether or not First Beneficiary
has notified Grantor of a default thereunder, and if so, a statement setting
forth the nature thereof in reasonable detail, together with a copy of any
written notification of such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
Grantor shall not be in default hereunder if it fails to deliver such estoppel
certificate if (A) the First Beneficiary from which an estoppel certificate has
been requested is not required, pursuant to the terms of the First Priority
Documents or any of the other documents evidencing, relating to or otherwise
executed in connection therewith, to deliver such a certificate as long as there
has been delivered to Beneficiaries such certificate as the First Beneficiary
shall be required to deliver pursuant to the terms of the First Priority
Documents or such other documents, and (B) Grantor shall have used its best
efforts to do so.
