CONTROL AGREEMENT
CONCERNING DESIGNATED ACCOUNTS 

CONSISTING OF DEPOSIT
ACCOUNTS

 

This
Control Agreement Concerning Designated Accounts Consisting of Deposit Accounts
(this “Control Agreement”), dated as of February 28, 2006 by and among FUEL STOP 36, INC., a Louisiana
corporation, (“Pledgor”), WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION (the “Trustee”) and HIBERNIA NATIONAL BANK (the “Bank”), is delivered
pursuant to Section 3.4(b) of that certain security agreement (as
amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Security Agreement”), dated as of  February 8, 2002 made by Jacobs Entertainment,
Inc., f/k/a Gameco, Inc., and each of the Guarantors listed on the signature
pages thereto or from time to time party thereto by execution of a joinder agreement,
in favor of the Trustee for its benefit and the benefit of the Holders of the
Notes under the Indenture (as defined in the Security Agreement). The Trustee
and each Holder of the Notes are hereby termed the “Secured Parties.”  This Control Agreement is for the purpose of
perfecting the security interests of the Secured Parties granted by the
Pledgors in the Designated Accounts described below. All references herein to
the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time
in the State of New York. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement.

 

Section 1.                                            Confirmation
of Establishment and Maintenance of Designated Accounts. The Bank hereby
confirms that (i) the Bank has established for the identified Pledgor and
maintains the deposit account(s) listed in Schedule 1 attached hereto
(such deposit account(s), together with each such other deposit account maintained
by any Pledgor with the Bank collectively, the “Designated Accounts” and
each a “Designated Account”), (ii) each Designated Account is a “deposit
account” as such term is defined in Article 9 of the UCC. For avoidance of
doubt, it is noted that the term “Designated Accounts” as used in any security
agreement means both the Designated Accounts hereunder and the “Designated
Accounts” in the comparable agreement entered into with respect to any other
Pledgor.

 

Section
2.                                            Control.
The Trustee shall at all times (A) have “control” (as defined in
Section 9-104 of the UCC) of any Designated Account and (B) be
authorized to direct the Bank to comply, without further consent of any Pledgor
or any person acting or purporting to act for any Pledgor being required, with
all instructions originated by the Trustee directing disposition of the funds
in the Designated Account. Each Pledgor, the Trustee, and the Bank agree that the Bank will comply with instructions
originated by the Trustee directing the disposition of the funds in any
Designated Account without further consent by any Pledgor. The Bank shall also
comply with instructions directing the disposition of funds in any Designated
Account originated by any Pledgor or its authorized representatives until such

 

 

time as the Trustee delivers a Notice of Sole
Control pursuant to Section 8(i) hereof to the Bank. Bank and each
Pledgor agree that Bank shall not comply with any instruction originated by any
Pledgor in respect of a Designated Account after the Trustee delivers a Notice
of Sole Control to Bank.

 

Section 3.                                            Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Bank has or
subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security
interest in any Designated Account, the Bank hereby agrees that such security
interest shall be subordinate to that of the Secured Parties. The funds
deposited into any Designated Account will not be subject to deduction,
set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than
the Secured Parties (except that the Bank may set off (i) all amounts due to
the Bank in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine
maintenance and operation of the Designated Accounts, including overdraft fees,
and (ii) the face amount of any checks or other items which have been credited
to any Designated Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of
uncollected or insufficient funds).

 

Section 4.                                            Choice of Law. Both this Control Agreement and the
Designated Accounts shall be governed by the law of the State of New York. Regardless
of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York
shall be deemed to be the Bank’s jurisdiction.

 

Section 5.                                            Conflict with Other Agreements; Amendments. As of the date hereof, there are no other
agreements entered into between the Bank and any Pledgor with respect to any
Designated Account or any funds credited thereto (other than standard and
customary documentation with respect to the establishment and maintenance of
such Designated Accounts). The Bank and each Pledgor will not enter into any
other agreement with respect to any Designated Account unless the Trustee shall
have received prior written notice thereof. The Bank and each Pledgor will not
enter into any other agreement with respect to control of the Designated
Accounts without the prior written consent of the Trustee acting in its sole
discretion. In the event of any conflict with respect to “control” over any
Designated Account between this Control Agreement (or any portion hereof) and
any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this
Control Agreement shall prevail. No amendment or modification of this Control
Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto
unless it is in writing and is signed by all the parties hereto.

 

Section 6.                                            Certain Agreements.

 

(i)                                     The Bank, or the applicable Pledgor, has
furnished to the Trustee the most recent account statement issued by the Bank
with respect to each of the Designated Accounts and the cash balances held
therein. The Bank and the applicable Pledgor represents

 

2

 

and warrants to the Trustee
that each such statement accurately reflects the assets held in such Designated
Account as of the date thereof.

 

(ii)                                  The Trustee has delivered to the Bank a list,
signed by an authorized representative of the Trustee (the “Authorized
Representative”), of the officers of the Trustee authorized to give
approvals or instructions under this Control Agreement (including notices and
other instructions under Section 8 hereof) and the Bank shall be
entitled to rely on communications from such authorized officers until the
earlier of the termination of this Control Agreement in accordance with the terms
hereof, the notification by the Authorized Representative of a change in the
list or the assignment of the rights of the Secured Parties in accordance with Section
11 hereof.

 

Section 7.                                            Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interest of the
Secured Parties and of any Pledgor in the Designated Accounts, the Bank on the
date hereof does not know of any claim to, or security interest in, any
Designated Account or in any funds credited thereto and does not know of any
claim that any Person other than the Trustee has been given “control” of any
Designated Account or any such funds. If any Person asserts any lien,
encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment,
warrant of attachment, execution or similar process and any claim of “control”)
against any funds in any Designated Account, the Bank will promptly notify the
Trustee and the applicable Pledgor thereof.

 

Section 8.                                            Maintenance of Designated Accounts. In addition to, and not in lieu of, the
obligation of the Bank agreed to in Section 2 hereof, the Bank agrees to
maintain the Designated Accounts as follows:

 

(i)                                     Notice of Sole Control. If at any
time the Trustee delivers to the Bank a notice of sole control in substantially
the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Notice of
Sole Control”) with respect to any Designated Account, the Bank agrees
that, after receipt of such notice, it will take all instruction with respect
to such Designated Account solely from the Trustee. Without limiting the
generality of the first sentence of this paragraph, upon receipt of a Notice of
Sole Control, the Bank shall follow all instructions given by an authorized
officer of the Trustee, including, without limitation, instructions for
distribution or transfer of any funds in any Designated Account to be made to
the Trustee. Excepting only acts of reckless indifference or fraud, the Trustee
and each Pledgor shall and do hereby waive and release any and all claims or
causes of actions any of them may have against the Bank and arising out of its
good faith efforts to comply with any instruction issued to it by the Trustee.

 

(ii)                                  Permitted Dispositions. Until such
time as the Bank receives a Notice of Sole Control signed by the Trustee with
respect to a Designated Account, a Pledgor, or any representative of a Pledgor,
shall direct the Bank with respect to the transfer of

 

3

 

the funds held in such
Designated Account. Until such time as the Bank receives a Notice of Sole
Control, the Pledgor, as applicable, shall be entitled to write checks against
amounts in each Designated Account, and make withdrawals, transfers, and other
dispositions of the funds in each Designated Account.

 

(iii)                               Statements and Confirmations. Until its
receipt of a Notice of Sole Control, the Bank will promptly send copies of all
statements and other correspondence (excluding routine confirmations)
concerning any Designated Account to each applicable Pledgor and, upon its
receipt of a Notice of Sole Control, solely to the Trustee at the address set
forth in Section 12 hereof. The Bank will promptly provide to the
Trustee and to the applicable Pledgor, upon the Trustee’s request therefor from
time to time, a statement of the cash balance in each Designated Account.

 

Section 9.                                            Representations, Warranties and Covenants of
the Bank. The Bank hereby
makes the following representations, warranties and covenants:

 

(i)                                     The Designated Accounts have
been, or will be, established as set forth in Section 1 hereof and
each Designated Account will be maintained in the manner set forth herein until
termination of this Control Agreement. The Bank shall not change the name or
account number of any Designated Account without the prior written consent of
the Trustee.

 

(ii)                                  The Bank is a “bank,” as
such term is defined in the UCC.

 

(iii)                               This Control Agreement is
the valid and legally binding obligation of the Bank.

 

(iv)                              The Bank has not entered
into any agreement with any other Person pursuant to which it has agreed to
comply with any orders or instructions with respect to any Designated Account. Until
the termination of this Control Agreement, the Bank will not, without the
written approval of the Trustee, enter into any agreement with any Person
pursuant to which it agrees to comply with any orders or instructions of such
Person with respect to any Designated Account.

 

(v)                                 The Bank has not entered
into any other agreement with any Pledgor or the Trustee purporting to limit or
condition the obligation of the Bank to comply with any orders or instructions
with respect to any Designated Account as set forth in Section 2 hereof.

 

Section 10.                                      Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Control Agreement shall
be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and
their respective corporate successors and permitted assignees.

Section 11.                                      Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to
be given under this Control Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to have

comply with any term of the Leases including damages or other amounts payable
to the Mortgagor as a result of such failure;

 

(iii)                               all

Securing Future Indebtedness. This Mortgage has been executed by Mortgagor
pursuant to Article 3298 of the Louisiana Civil Code for the purpose of
securing the Mortgagor’s indebtedness (including, without limitation, the
Secured Obligations) that may now be existing or that may arise in
the future as provided herein and in the Indenture, with the preferences and
priorities provided under applicable Louisiana law. This Mortgage shall be
further entitled to the preferences and priorities as provided under the
Louisiana Private Works Act (La. R.S. 9:4801, et seq.). However, nothing under
this Mortgage shall be construed as limiting the duration of this Mortgage or
the purpose or purposes for which the Mortgagor’s indebtedness (including,
without limitation, the Secured Obligations) may be requested or extended.
The Mortgagor’s additional indebtedness will automatically be secured by this
Mortgage without the necessity that the Mortgagor agrees or consents to such a
result at the time additional indebtedness is made and that the note or notes
evidencing such additional indebtedness reference the fact that such notes are
secured by this Mortgage. The Mortgagor understands that the Mortgagor may not
subsequently have a change of mind and insist that the Mortgagor’s additional
indebtedness not be secured by this Mortgage unless the Mortgagee specifically
agrees to such a request in writing.

 

SECTION 2.5  No
Release. Nothing set forth in this Mortgage shall relieve the Mortgagor
from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on the
Mortgagor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of
the Mortgaged Property or from any liability to any Person under or in respect
of any of the Mortgaged Property or shall impose any obligation on the
Mortgagee or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term,
covenant, condition or agreement on the Mortgagor’s part to be so
performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Mortgagee or any
other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of the Mortgagor
relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of
the Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage, the Indenture, the Notes or the
Collateral Documents, or under or in respect of the Mortgaged Property or made
in connection herewith or therewith. The obligations of the Mortgagor contained
in this Section 2.5 shall survive the termination hereof and the
discharge of the Mortgagor’s other obligations under this Mortgage and the
Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents.

SECTION 4.7  Environmental.

 

(i)                                     Hazardous
Materials. Except where the failure to do so would not result in a Property
Material Adverse Effect, the Mortgagor shall (A) comply with any and all
present and future Environmental Laws applicable to the Mortgaged Property, (B) not
release, store, treat, handle, generate, discharge or dispose of any Hazardous
Materials at, on, under or from the Mortgaged Property in violation of or in a

and expense, cause any remediation, removal or response action relating to

the Mortgagor shall provide to the Mortgagee and its agents and employees
access to the Mortgaged Property for such purpose. Any reasonable costs or
expenses incurred by the Mortgagee for such purpose shall be immediately due
and payable by the Mortgagor and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. The
Mortgagee shall have the right at any time when an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and at such other times when a potential violation
of any present or future Environmental Law exists which in the Mortgagee’s
reasonable judgment could result in any material liability or obligation under
such Environmental Law, at the sole cost and expense of the Mortgagor, to
conduct an environmental audit of the Mortgaged Property by such persons or
firms appointed by the Mortgagee, and the Mortgagor shall cooperate in all
respects in the conduct of such environmental audit, including, without
limitation, by providing access to the Mortgaged Property and to all records
relating thereto. To the extent that any such environmental audit identifies
conditions which in the Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment would result in any
material liability or obligation under any present or future Environmental Law,
the Mortgagor agrees to expeditiously correct any such violation or respond to
conditions giving rise to such liability or obligations in a

 

16

 

manner which complies in all material respects with
the Environmental Laws and mitigates associated health and environmental risks.
The Mortgagor shall indemnify and hold the Mortgagee and each of the other
Secured Parties harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage or reasonable
expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’
fees and disbursements) that the Mortgagee or any other Secured Party may sustain
by reason of the assertion against the Mortgagee or any Secured Party by any
party of any claim relating to such Hazardous Materials on, under or from the
Mortgaged Property or actions taken with respect thereto as authorized
hereunder, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Mortgagee or any other Secured Party. The foregoing indemnification
shall survive repayment of all Secured Obligations and any release or
assignment hereof; and

 

(ii)                                  Asbestos.
The Mortgagor shall not install nor permit to be installed in or removed from
the Mortgaged Property, asbestos or any asbestos-containing material
(collectively, “ACM”) except in compliance, in all material respects,
with all applicable Environmental Laws, and with respect to any ACM currently
present in the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor shall promptly either (A) remove
any ACM which such Environmental Laws require to be removed or (B) otherwise
comply, in all material respects, with such Environmental Laws with respect to
such ACM, all at the Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense. If the Mortgagor shall
fail so to remove any ACM or otherwise comply, in all material respects, with
such laws or regulations, the Mortgagee may, in addition to any other remedies
set forth herein, take reasonable or necessary steps to eliminate any ACM from
the Mortgaged Property or otherwise comply, in all material respects, with
applicable law, regulations or orders and the Mortgagor shall provide to the
Mortgagee and its agents and employees access to the Mortgaged Property for
such purpose. Any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by the Mortgagee for
such purpose shall be immediately due and payable by the Mortgagor and bear
interest at the Default Rate. The Mortgagor shall indemnify and hold the
Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties harmless from and against all loss,
cost, damage and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
and consultants’ fees and disbursements) that the Mortgagee or the other
Secured Parties may sustain, as a result of the presence of any ACM and
any removal thereof or compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, except
to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Mortgagee or any other Secured Party. The foregoing indemnification shall
survive repayment of all Secured Obligations and any release or assignment
hereof.

 

SECTION 4.8  Estoppel
Certificates. The Mortgagor shall, from time to time, upon thirty (30) days’
prior written reasonable request of the Mortgagee, execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Mortgagee an Officers’ Certificate stating that this Mortgage,
the Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents are unmodified and in
full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this
Mortgage, the Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents, as applicable,
is or are in full force and effect as modified and setting forth such
modifications) and stating the date to which principal and interest have been
paid on the Notes.

CONCERNING
ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS

 

SECTION 6.1  Present
Assignment; License to the Mortgagor. Section 2.2 of this Mortgage
constitutes a present, absolute, effective, irrevocable and complete assignment
by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee of the Leases and Rents and the right,
subject to applicable law, to collect all sums payable to the Mortgagor
thereunder and apply the same as the Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion,
determine to be appropriate (including the payment of reasonable costs and
expenses in connection with the maintenance, operation, improvement, insurance,
taxes and upkeep of the Mortgaged Property), which is not conditioned upon the
Mortgagee being in possession of the Premises. The Mortgagee hereby grants to
the Mortgagor, however, a license to collect and apply the Rents and to enforce
the obligations of Tenants under the Leases. Immediately upon the occurrence of
and during the continuance of any Event of Default or a Default, the license
granted in the immediately preceding sentence shall cease and terminate, with
or without any notice, action or proceeding or the intervention of a receiver
appointed by a court.

 

SECTION 6.2  Collection
of Rents by the Mortgagee.

 

(i)                                     From
and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a
Default, any Rents receivable by the Mortgagee hereunder, after payment of all
proper costs and expenses as Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion, determine
to be appropriate (including the payment of reasonable costs and expenses in
connection with the maintenance, operation, improvement, insurance, taxes and
upkeep of the Mortgaged Property), shall be applied to the Secured Obligations
or, at the option of the Mortgagee, shall be held by the Mortgagee as
additional collateral to secure the performance by the Mortgagor of the Secured
Obligations. The Mortgagee shall be accountable to the Mortgagor only for Rents
actually received by the Mortgagee. The collection of such Rents and the
application thereof shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or a Default
or waive, modify or affect notice of Event of Default or a Default or
invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.

 

(ii)                                  The
Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Tenant under each Lease to
rely upon and comply with any and all notices or demands from the Mortgagee for
payment of Rents to the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor shall have no claim against
Tenant for Rents paid by Tenant to the Mortgagee pursuant to such notice or
demand.

 

SECTION 6.3  No
Release. Neither this Mortgage nor any action or inaction on the part of
the Mortgagee shall release any Tenant under any Lease, any guarantor of any
Lease or the Mortgagor from any of their respective obligations under such
Leases or constitute an assumption of any such obligation on the part of
the Mortgagee. No action or failure to act on the part of the Mortgagor
shall adversely affect or limit the rights of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage
or, through this Mortgage, under such Leases. Nothing contained herein shall
operate or be construed to (i) obligate the Mortgagee to perform any
of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in any Lease or otherwise to
impose any obligation upon the Mortgagee with respect to such Lease (including,
without limitation, any obligation arising out of any covenant of quiet
enjoyment contained in such Lease in the event that Tenant under such Lease
shall have been joined as a party defendant in any action by which the estate
of such Tenant shall be terminated) or (ii) place upon the Mortgagee any
obligation for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the
Premises.

SECTION 6.4  Irrevocable
Interest. All rights, powers and privileges of the Mortgagee herein set
forth are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, and the Mortgagor shall not take any action under the
Leases or otherwise which is inconsistent with this Mortgage or any of the
terms hereof and any such action inconsistent herewith or therewith shall be
void.

 

SECTION 6.5  Amendment
to Leases. Each Lease, including, without limitation, all amendments,
modifications, supplements, replacements, extensions and renewals thereof,
shall continue to be subject to the provisions hereof without the necessity of
any further act by any of the parties hereto.

the payment of the obligations in respect of which such amounts were deposited,
in such priority as the Mortgagee shall determine, on or before the respective
dates on which such obligations or any part thereof would become
delinquent. Nothing contained in this Article VII shall (i) affect
any right or remedy of the Mortgagee under any provision hereof or of any

own funds and to add the amount so paid, together with interest at the Default
Rate during such time that any amount remains outstanding, to the Secured

compensation insurance, old age pensions and social security benefits and all
other claims, judgments, demands or amounts of any nature which, if unpaid,

any part thereof, or which would result in forfeiture of all or any part of
the Mortgaged Property.

 

SECTION 7.4  Stamp
and Other Taxes. Unless and to the extent contested by the Mortgagor in

penalties, that may hereafter be levied, imposed or assessed under or upon
or by reason hereof or the Secured Obligations or any instrument or transaction
affecting or relating to either thereof and in default thereof the Mortgagee may advance
the same and the amount so advanced shall be payable by the Mortgagor to the
Mortgagee in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.5 hereof.

 

20

 

SECTION 7.5  Certain
Tax Law Changes. In the event of the passage after the date hereof of any
law deducting from the value of real property, for the purpose of taxation,
amounts in respect of any Lien thereon or changing in any way the laws for the
taxation of mortgages or debts secured by mortgages for state or local purposes
or the manner of the collection of any Charges, and imposing any Charges,
either directly or indirectly, on this Mortgage, the Indenture or any other
Collateral Document, the Mortgagor shall promptly pay to the Mortgagee such
amount or amounts as may be necessary from time to time to pay any such
Charges.

 

SECTION 7.6  Proceeds
of Tax Claim. In the event that the proceeds of any tax claim are paid
after the Mortgagee has exercised its right to foreclose the Lien hereof, such
proceeds shall be paid to the Mortgagee to satisfy any deficiency remaining
after such foreclosure. The Mortgagee shall retain its interest in the proceeds
of any tax claim during any redemption period. The amount of any such proceeds
in excess of any deficiency claim of the Mortgagee shall in a prompt manner be
released to the Mortgagor.

hereof, such proceeds shall be paid to the Mortgagee to satisfy any deficiency
remaining after such foreclosure. Mortgagee shall retain its interest in the
Insurance Policies required to be maintained pursuant to this Mortgage during
any redemption period. The amount of any such proceeds in excess of any

CONTESTING
OF PAYMENTS

 

SECTION 9.1  Contesting
of Taxes and Certain Statutory Liens. The Mortgagor may at its own
expense contest the validity, amount or applicability of any Charges as long as
the contest thereof shall be conducted in accordance with, and permitted
pursuant to the provisions of, the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 9.1, (i) no contest of any such
obligations may be pursued by the Mortgagor (A) if such contest would
expose the Mortgagee or any Holder to any possible criminal liability or (B) unless
the Mortgagor shall have furnished a bond or other security therefor reasonably
satisfactory to the Mortgagee or such Holder, as the case may be, including
for any additional civil liability for failure to comply with such obligations
and (ii) if at any time payment or performance of any obligation contested
by the Mortgagor pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall become

non-payment, the Mortgagor shall pay or perform the same in sufficient
time to prevent the imposition of remedies in respect of such default or
prospective default.

 

SECTION 9.2  Contesting
of Insurance. The Mortgagor shall not take any action that would reasonably
be expected to cause the termination, revocation or denial of any insurance
coverage required to be maintained under this Mortgage or that would be the
basis for a defense to any claim under any Insurance Policy maintained in
respect of the Premises and the Mortgagor shall otherwise comply in all
respects with all Insurance Requirements in respect of the Premises; provided,
however, that the Mortgagor may, at its own expense

 

21

 

and after written notice to the Mortgagee, (i) contest
the applicability or enforceability of any such Insurance Requirements by
appropriate legal proceedings, prosecution of which does not constitute a basis
for cancellation or revocation of any insurance coverage required under Article VIII
hereof or (ii) cause the Insurance Policy containing any such Insurance
Requirement to be replaced by a new policy complying with the provisions of Article VIII
hereof.

under no liability for or by reason of any such taking of possession, entry,
removal or holding, operation or management except that any amounts so received
by the Mortgagee shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture;

 

(iii)                               with
or without entry, personally or by its agents or attorneys, (A) sell the
Mortgaged Property and all estate, right, title and interest, claim and demand
therein at one or more sales in one or more parcels, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 11.3 or (B) institute and prosecute
proceedings for the complete or partial foreclosure of the Lien and security
interests created and evidenced hereby; or

 

(iv)                              take
such steps to protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit or
proceeding at law or in equity for the specific performance of any covenant,
condition or agreement in the Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral
Documents, or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Mortgage, or
for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate
legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as the Mortgagee shall elect.

 

SECTION 11.3  Sale
of Mortgaged Property if Event of Default Occurs; Proceeds of Sale.

 

(i)                                     If
any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee may institute
an action to foreclose this Mortgage or take such other action as may be
permitted and available to the Mortgagee at law or in equity for the
enforcement of the Indenture and the Notes and realization on the Mortgaged
Property and proceeds thereon through power of sale or to final judgment and
execution thereof for the Secured Obligations, and in furtherance thereof the
Mortgagee may sell the Mortgaged Property at one or more sales, as an
entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such
notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law or statute or in
equity. The Mortgagee may execute and deliver to the purchaser at such
sale a conveyance of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple and an assignment or
conveyance of all the Mortgagor’s Interest in the Leases and the Mortgaged
Property, each of which conveyances and assignments shall contain recitals as
to the Event of Default upon which the execution of the power of sale herein
granted depends, and the Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints the
Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney in fact of the Mortgagor to make any
such recitals, sale, assignment and conveyance, and all of the acts of the
Mortgagee as such attorney in fact are hereby ratified and confirmed. The
Mortgagor agrees that such recitals shall be binding and conclusive upon the
Mortgagor and that any assignment or conveyance to be made by the Mortgagee
shall divest the Mortgagor of all right, title, interest, equity and right of
redemption, including any statutory redemption, in and to the Mortgaged Property.
The power and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are
irrevocable by death or dissolution, or otherwise, and are in addition to any
and all other remedies which the Mortgagee may have hereunder, at law or
in equity. So long as the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, remain
unpaid, the Mortgagor agrees that possession of the Mortgaged Property by the
Mortgagor, or any person claiming under the Mortgagor, shall be as tenant, and,
in case of a sale under power or upon foreclosure as provided in this Mortgage,
the Mortgagor and any person in possession under the Mortgagor, as to whose
interest such sale was not made subject, shall, at the option of the purchaser
at such sale, then become and be tenants holding over, and shall forthwith
deliver possession to such purchaser, or be summarily dispossessed in
accordance with the laws applicable to tenants holding over. In case of any
sale under this Mortgage by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein
granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the
Mortgaged Property may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels in
such manner or order as the Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect. One
or more exercises of powers

 

23

 

herein
granted shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers, until the entire Mortgaged
Property is sold or all amounts secured hereby are paid in full.

 

(ii)                                  In
the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article XI,
the entire principal of, and interest in respect of the Secured Obligations, if
not previously due and payable, shall, at the option of the Mortgagee,
immediately become due and payable, anything in this Mortgage to the contrary
notwithstanding.

 

(iii)                               The
proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article XI,
together with any other sums which then may be held by the Mortgagee under
this Mortgage, whether under the provisions of this Article XI or
otherwise, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture;

 

(iv)                              The
Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
at any sale made under or by virtue of this Article XI and, in lieu
of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by
crediting against the purchase price the unpaid amounts (whether or not then
due and owing) in respect of the Secured Obligations, after deducting from the
sales price the expense of the sale and the reasonable costs of the action or
proceedings and any other sums that the Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under
this Mortgage.

 

(v)                                 The
Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or
by virtue hereof by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale
or for such adjourned sale or sales, and, the Mortgagee, without further notice
or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same
shall be so adjourned.

 

(vi)                              If
the Premises is comprised of more than one parcel of land, the Mortgagee may take
any of the actions authorized by this Section 11.3 in respect of
any or a number of individual parcels.

 

SECTION 11.4  Additional
Remedies in Case of an Event of Default.

 

(i)                                     The
Mortgagee shall be entitled to recover judgment as aforesaid either before,
after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of the
provisions hereof, and the right of the Mortgagee to recover such judgment
shall not be affected by any entry or sale hereunder, or by the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions hereof, or
the foreclosure of, or absolute conveyance pursuant to, this Mortgage. In case
of proceedings against the Mortgagor in insolvency or bankruptcy or any
proceedings for its reorganization or involving the liquidation of its assets,
the Mortgagee shall be entitled to prove the whole amount of principal and
interest and other payments, charges and costs due in respect of the Secured
Obligations to the full amount thereof without deducting therefrom any proceeds
obtained from the sale of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property;
provided, however, that in no case shall the Mortgagee receive a
greater amount than the aggregate of such principal, interest and such other
payments, charges and costs (with interest at the Default Rate) from the
proceeds of the sale of the Mortgaged Property and the distribution from the estate
of the Mortgagor.

 

(ii)                                  Any
recovery of any judgment by the Mortgagee and any levy of any execution under
any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property shall not affect in any manner or to
any extent the Lien and security interests created and evidenced hereby upon
the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any conveyances, powers,
rights and remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder, but such conveyances, powers,
rights and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.

 

(iii)                               Any
monies collected by the Mortgagee under this Section 11.4 shall be
applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3(iii).

 

24

 

SECTION 11.5  Legal
Proceedings After an Event of Default.

 

(i)                                     After
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and
immediately upon the commencement of any action, suit or legal proceedings to
obtain judgment for the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, or of any
proceedings to foreclose the Lien and security interest created and evidenced
hereby or otherwise enforce the provisions hereof or of any other proceedings
in aid of the enforcement hereof, the Mortgagor shall enter its voluntary
appearance in such action, suit or proceeding.

 

(ii)                                  Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee
shall be entitled forthwith as a matter of right, concurrently or independently
of any other right or remedy hereunder either before or after declaring the Secured
Obligations or any part thereof to be due and payable, to the appointment
of a receiver without giving notice to any party and without regard to the
adequacy or inadequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations or the
solvency or insolvency of any person or entity then legally or equitably liable
for the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof. The Mortgagor hereby
consents to the appointment of such receiver. Notwithstanding the appointment
of any receiver, the Mortgagee shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession
and control of any cash, deposits or instruments at the time held by or payable
or deliverable under the terms of the Indenture to the Mortgagee.

 

(iii)                               The
Mortgagor shall not (A) at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage of any stay or
extension or moratorium law, any exemption from execution or sale of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, wherever enacted, now or at any
time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants and terms of
performance hereof, (B) claim, take or insist on any benefit or advantage
of any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisal
of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales
of the Mortgaged Property which may be made pursuant to this Mortgage, or
pursuant to any decree, judgment or order of any court of competent
jurisdiction or (C) after any such sale or sales, claim or exercise any
right under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted to redeem the property
so sold or any part thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Mortgagor hereby expressly (A) waives all benefit or advantage of any
such law or laws, including, without limitation, any statute of limitations
applicable to this Mortgage, (B) waives all rights to have the Mortgaged
Property marshalled on any foreclosure of this Mortgage, (C) waives any
and all rights to trial by jury in any action or proceeding related to the
enforcement hereof, (D) waives any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding brought
in connection with this Mortgage and further waives and agrees not to plead
that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum and (E) covenants not to hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power granted or delegated to the Mortgagee by this
Mortgage but to suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law or laws had been made or enacted. The Mortgagee shall not be liable
for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article XI
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

SECTION 11.6  Remedies
Not Exclusive. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee by
this Mortgage is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and
each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given under this Mortgage or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity. Any delay or omission of the Mortgagee to exercise any right
or power accruing on any Event of Default shall not impair any such right or
power and shall not be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in any such
Event of Default. Every power and remedy given by this Mortgage may be
exercised from time to time concurrently or independently, when and as often as
may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee in such order and manner as the
Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect. If the Mortgagee accepts any
monies required to be paid by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage after the same
become due, such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of the right either
to require prompt payment, when due, of all other sums secured by this Mortgage
or to declare an Event of Default with regard to subsequent

 

25

 

defaults. If the Mortgagee accepts any monies required
to be paid by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage in an amount less than the sum
then due, such acceptance shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and on
the condition that it shall not constitute a waiver of the obligation of the
Mortgagor to pay the entire sum then due, and the Mortgagor’s failure to pay
the entire sum then due shall be and continue to be a default hereunder notwithstanding
acceptance of such amount on account.

 

SECTION 11.7  Special
Louisiana Provisions.

 

(i)                                     Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, should one or more Events of Default
occur or exist and be continuing under this Mortgage, as provided above, the
Mortgagee, at its option, may exercise any one or more of the following
rights and remedies, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by
law and under this Mortgage to the greatest extent permitted by applicable
Louisiana law. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as constituting the
Mortgagee as mortgagee in possession in absence of the actual taking of possession
of the Premises by the Mortgagee.

 

(ii)                                  The
Mortgagee shall have the right, at its sole option, to accelerate the maturity
and demand immediate payment in full of any and all of the Secured Obligations.
The Mortgagee shall then have the right to commence appropriate foreclosure
proceedings against the Mortgaged Property and against the Mortgagor’s rights
as provided in this Mortgage.

 

(iii)                               In the event that the
Mortgagee elects to commence appropriate Louisiana foreclosure proceedings
under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee may cause the Mortgaged Property, or
any part or parts thereof, to be immediately seized and sold, whether in
term of court or in vacation, under ordinary or executory process, in
accordance with applicable Louisiana law, to the highest bidder for cash, with
or without appraisement, and without the necessity of making additional demand
upon or notifying the Mortgagor or placing the Mortgagor in default, all of
which are expressly waived.

 

(iv)                              For
purposes of foreclosure under Louisiana executory process procedures, the
Mortgagor confesses judgment and acknowledges to be indebted to the Mortgagee,
up to the full amount of the indebtedness in principal, interest, costs,
expenses, reasonable attorney’s fees and other fees and charges and amounts
contemplated hereunder. The Mortgagor further confesses judgment and
acknowledges to be indebted unto and in favor of the Mortgagee in the amount of
all future advances that the Mortgagee may make on the Mortgagor’s behalf
pursuant to this Mortgage, together with interest thereon. To the extent
permitted under applicable Louisiana law, the Mortgagor additionally waives:  (1) the benefit of appraisal as provided
in Articles 2332, 2336, 2723, and 2724 of the Louisiana Code of Civil
Procedure, and all other laws with regard to appraisal upon judicial sale; (2) the
demand and three (3) days’ delay provided under Articles 22639 and 2721 of
the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure; (3) the notice of seizure as
provided under Articles 2293 and 2721 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure;
(4) the three (3) days’ delay provided under Articles 2331, 2722 and
2723 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure and all other Articles not
specifically mentioned above. The Mortgagor further agrees that any declaration
of fact made by authentic act before a Notary Public and two witnesses, by a
Person declaring that such facts are within his or her knowledge, shall
constitute authentic evidence of such facts for purposes of foreclosure under
applicable Louisiana law and for purposes of La. R.S. 9:3504(D)(6) and La.
R.S. 10:9-508, to the extent applicable.

 

(v)                                 Should
any or all of the Mortgaged Property be seized as an incident to an action for
the recognition or enforcement of this Mortgage, by executory process,
sequestration, attachment, writ of fieri facias or otherwise, the Mortgagor
hereby agrees that the court issuing any such order shall, if requested by the
Mortgagee, appoint the Mortgagee, or any agent designated by the Mortgagee or
any Person named by the Mortgagee at the time such seizure is requested, or any
time thereafter, as Keeper of the Mortgaged Property as provided under La. R.S.
9:5136, et seq. Such a Keeper shall be entitled to reasonable compensation. The

 

26

 

Mortgagor
agrees to pay the reasonable fees of such Keeper which compensation to the
Keeper shall also be secured by this Mortgage in the form of any future
advances as provided in this Mortgage.

 

(vi)                              Should
it become necessary for the Mortgagee to foreclose under this Mortgage, all
declarations of fact, which are made under an authentic act before a Notary
Public in the presence of two witnesses, by a person declaring such facts to
lie within his or her knowledge, shall constitute authentic evidence for purposes
of executory process and also for purposes of La. R.S. 9:3509.1, La. R.S.
9:3504(D)(6) and La. R.S. 10:9-508, where applicable.

 

(vii)                           Should one or more Events of
Default occur or exist under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall have the
additional right, at its sole option, to separately sell the aforesaid rights,
or any part of parts thereof, at private or public compensation, or on
credit, or for future delivery, without the assumption of any credit risk. The
sale of the aforesaid rights may be without appraisement, the benefit of
which is also expressly waived by the Mortgagor. The Mortgagee may exercise
any other remedies with regard to the Mortgagor’s rights as may be authorized
under the Louisiana Commercial Laws (La. R.S. 10:9-101, et seq.).

 

(viii)                        To the extent provided by law,
and in the event of foreclosure under this Mortgage, or other transfer of title
or assignment of the Mortgaged Property, or any part or parts thereof, in
lieu of payment of the Secured Obligations, whether in whole or in part, all
policies of insurance and other rights applicable to the foreclosed Mortgaged
Property upon transfer of the Mortgaged Property shall automatically inure to
the benefit of and shall pass to the purchaser(s) or transferee(s) thereof,
subject to the rights of the purchaser(s) or transferee(s) to reject such
insurance coverage and/or rights at its or their sole option and election.

 

(ix)                                The
Mortgagee may, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing remedies, in the
Mortgagee’s sole discretion, commence an appropriate action against the
Mortgagor seeking specific performance of any covenant contained in this Mortgage
or in aid of the execution or enforcement of any power in this Mortgage
granted.

 

(x)                                   Except
as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of the Mortgagee’s rights and
remedies, whether evidenced by this Mortgage or by any other writing, shall be
cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by
the Mortgagee to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other
remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an
obligation of the Mortgagor under this Mortgage, after the Mortgagor’s failure
to perform shall not affect the Mortgagee’s right to declare a default and
exercise its remedies. Nothing under this Mortgage or otherwise shall be
construed so as to limit or restrict the rights and remedies available to the
Mortgagee following an Event of Default, or in any way to limit or restrict the
rights and abilities of the Mortgagee to proceed directly against Mortgagor
and/or against any other co-maker, guarantor, surety or endorser of the Secured
Obligations, and/or to proceed against any other collateral directly or
indirectly securing the Secured Obligations.

SECTION 12.1  Security
Agreement.

 

(i) This Mortgage shall constitute a Security Agreement as defined

create and evidence a security interest in all the equipment and in all the
other items of Mortgaged Property in which a security interest may be
granted pursuant to the Louisiana Commercial Laws (collectively, “Personal

27

 

(ii) The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and

eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (3) Mortgagor’s
interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing
out of the use or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property whether pursuant to lease
or otherwise, shall never be construed as in any way altering any of the rights
of Mortgagee under this Mortgage or impugning the priority of the Mortgagee’s
lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document. Rather, such mention in
the financing statement is declared to be for the protection of the Mortgagee
in the event any court or judge shall at any time hold with respect to (1), (2) and
(3) above, that notice of Mortgagee’s priority of interest to be effective
against a particular class of persons, including, but not limited to, the
Federal Government and any subdivisions or entity of the Federal Government,

FURTHER
ASSURANCES

 

SECTION 13.1  Recording

Mortgage and any financing statement, continuation statement or similar
instrument relating to any thereof or to any property intended to be subject to
the Lien hereof to be filed, registered and 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 validity and priority thereof or the Lien
hereof purported to be created upon the Mortgaged Property and the interest and
rights of the Mortgagee therein. The Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid
all taxes and fees incident to

 

28

 

such filing, registration and recording, and all
reasonable expenses incident to the preparation, execution and acknowledgment
thereof, and of any instrument of further assurance, and all Federal or state
stamp taxes or other taxes, duties and charges arising out of or in connection
with the execution and delivery of such instruments.

 

SECTION 13.2  Further

do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds,
conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers,
financing statements, continuation statements, instruments and assurances as
the Mortgagee shall from time to time reasonably request, which may be
necessary in the judgment of the Mortgagee from time to time to assure,
perfect, convey, assign, mortgage, transfer and confirm unto the Mortgagee, the
property and rights hereby conveyed or assigned or which the Mortgagor may be
or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to the Mortgagee or for
carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms hereof
or the filing, registering or recording hereof. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, in the event that the Mortgagee desires to exercise any
remedies, consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this
Mortgage and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any
Governmental Authority or any other Person therefor, then, upon the reasonable
request of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor agrees to use its reasonable efforts to
assist and aid the Mortgagee to obtain as soon as practicable any necessary
approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers.
In the event the Mortgagor shall fail (i) within ten (10) Business
Days after demand, to execute or take any action required to be executed or
taken by the Mortgagor under this Section 13.2 to the extent same
is necessary to maintain perfection of the Lien granted to Mortgagee hereunder
or (ii) such failure shall constitute an Event of Default, to execute or
take any action required to be executed or taken by the Mortgagor under this Section 13.2
(other than the type described in clause (i) of this sentence) then, in
each of the cases described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence,
the Mortgagee may execute or take the same as the attorney-in-fact for the
Mortgagor, such power of attorney being coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable.

 

SECTION 13.3  Additional

impairment of the Lien and rights created by this Mortgage, the Mortgagee may accept
(but the Mortgagor shall not be obligated to furnish) from the Mortgagor or
from any other Person, additional security for the Secured Obligations. Neither
the giving hereof nor the acceptance of any such additional security shall
prevent the Mortgagee from resorting, first, to such additional security, and,
second, to the security created by this Mortgage without affecting the
Mortgagee’s Lien and rights under this Mortgage.

 

ARTICLE XIV

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

SECTION 14.1  Covenants
To Run with the Land. All of the grants, covenants, terms, provisions and
conditions in this Mortgage shall run with the Land and shall apply to, and

SECTION 14.2  No
Merger. The rights and estate created by this Mortgage shall not, under any
circumstances, be held to have merged into any other estate or interest now
owned or hereafter acquired by the Mortgagee unless the Mortgagee shall have
consented to such merger in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld.

 

29

 

SECTION 14.3  Concerning
Mortgagee.

 

(i)                                     The
Mortgagee has been appointed as trustee pursuant to the Indenture. The actions
of the Mortgagee hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Indenture. The
Mortgagee shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to
exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from
taking action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of
the Mortgaged Property), in accordance with this Mortgage and the Indenture. The
Mortgagee may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith
and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Mortgagee may resign
and a successor Mortgagee may be appointed in the manner provided in the
Indenture. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Mortgagee by a
successor Mortgagee, that successor Mortgagee shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Mortgagee under this Mortgage, and the retiring Mortgagee shall
thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Mortgage. After
any retiring Mortgagee’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this
Mortgage while it was the Mortgagee.

 

(ii)                                  The
Mortgagee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Mortgaged Property in its possession if such Mortgaged
Property is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the
Mortgagee, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of
similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Mortgagee
nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for taking any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Mortgaged
Property.

 

(iii)                               The
Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate,
order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and,
with respect to all matters pertaining to this Mortgage and its duties hereunder,
upon advice of counsel selected by it.

 

(iv)                              If
any portion of the Mortgaged Property also constitutes collateral granted to
the Mortgagee under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement,
pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the
provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage,
security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such
collateral, the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, shall select which provision
or provisions shall control.

 

SECTION 14.4  Mortgagee
May Perform; Mortgagee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If the Mortgagor
shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Mortgage, subject to
any applicable grace periods or contest rights permitted pursuant to Article IX
hereof or as otherwise permitted by any Collateral Document (including, without
limitation, the Mortgagor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect
of all required insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay Charges, (iii) make
repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform any
obligations of the Mortgagor under any Mortgaged Property) or if any warranty
on the part of the Mortgagor contained herein shall be breached, the
Mortgagee may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to
be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided,
however, that the Mortgagee shall in no event be bound to inquire into
the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which the
Mortgagor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which
the Mortgagor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of Article IX
hereof. Any and all amounts reasonably so expended by the Mortgagee shall be
paid by the Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.5
hereof. Neither the provisions of this Section 14.4 nor any action
taken by the Mortgagee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.4
shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this
Mortgage nor any breach of warranty from constituting an Event of Default. Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Mortgagor
hereby appoints the Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact, with full

 

30

 

authority in the place and stead of the Mortgagor and
in the name of the Mortgagor to take any action and to execute any instrument
consistent with the terms hereof and the other Collateral Documents which the
Mortgagee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
hereof. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an
interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. The
Mortgagor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to
be done by virtue hereof.

 

SECTION 14.5  Expenses  The Mortgagor will upon demand pay to the
Mortgagee the amount of any and all reasonable costs and expenses, including
the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and the reasonable fees and
expenses of any experts and agents which the Mortgagee may incur in
connection with (i) any action, suit or other proceeding affecting the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof commenced, in which action, suit or
proceeding the Mortgagee is made a party or participates or in which the right
to use the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof is threatened, or in
which it becomes necessary in the judgment of the Mortgagee to defend or uphold
the Lien hereof (including, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding
to establish or uphold the compliance of the Mortgaged Property with any
Requirements of Law), (ii) the collection of the Secured Obligations, (iii) the
enforcement and administration hereof, (iv) the custody or preservation
of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the
Mortgaged Property, (v) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights
of the Mortgagee or any Secured Party hereunder or (vi) the failure by the
Mortgagor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. All amounts
expended by the Mortgagee and payable by the Mortgagor under this Section 14.5
shall be due upon demand therefor (together with interest thereon accruing at
the Default Rate during the period from and including the date on which such
funds were so expended to the date of repayment) and shall be part of the
Secured Obligations. The Mortgagor’s obligations under this Section 14.5
shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of the Mortgagor’s other
obligations under this Mortgage.

 

SECTION 14.6  Indemnity.

 

(i)                                     The
Mortgagor agrees to indemnify, pay and hold harmless the Mortgagee and each of
the other Secured Parties and the officers, directors, employees, agents and
Affiliates of the Mortgagee and each of the other Secured Parties
(collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all other
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, claims, costs (including, without limitation, settlement costs),
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such
Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding,
commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a
party thereto), which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
that Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out hereof, the Indenture,
the Notes, any other Collateral Document or any other document evidencing the
Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, any misrepresentation by
the Mortgagor in this Mortgage, the Indenture, the Notes, any other Collateral
Document or any other document evidencing the Secured Obligations (the “Indemnified
Liabilities”); provided, however, that the Mortgagor shall
have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent it has been determined by a final decision (after all
appeals and the expiration of time to appeal) by a court of competent
jurisdiction that such Indemnified Liabilities arose from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertaking to
indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the
Mortgagor shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and
satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified
Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them.

 

(ii)                                  Survival.
The obligations of the Mortgagor contained in this Section 14.6
shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of the Mortgagor’s other
obligations under this Mortgage, the Indenture and the other Collateral
Documents.

 

31

 

(iii)                               Reimbursement.
Any amount paid by any Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has the right to
reimbursement shall constitute Secured Obligations secured by the Mortgaged
Property.

 

SECTION 14.7  Continuing
Security Interest; Assignment. This Mortgage shall create a continuing Lien
on and security interest in the Mortgaged Property and shall (i) be
binding upon the Mortgagor, its respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure,
together with the rights and remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder, to the
benefit of the Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties and each of their
respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other Persons (including,
without limitation, any other creditor of Mortgagor) shall have any interest
herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Holder of the Notes may assign
or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it that is secured by this
Mortgage to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Holder, herein
or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Indenture.

 

SECTION 14.8  Termination;
Release. The Mortgaged Property shall be released from the Lien of this
Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 of the
Indenture.

 

SECTION 14.9  Modification
in Writing. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver
of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by the Mortgagor
therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be done in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture and unless in writing and signed by the Mortgagee
and Mortgagor. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision
hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by
the Mortgagor from the terms of any provision hereof shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except
where notice is specifically required by this Mortgage or any other Collateral
Document, no notice to or demand on the Mortgagor in any case shall entitle the
Mortgagor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.

 

SECTION 14.10  Notices.
Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture, any notice or other
communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be given in the
manner and become effective as set forth in the Indenture, if to the Mortgagor,

to the Mortgagee, addressed to it at its address set forth in the Indenture, or
in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a
written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of
this Section 14.10.

 

SECTION 14.11  GOVERNING
LAW; SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF
CONFLICTS OF LAWS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE
SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY
PARTICULAR ITEM OR TYPE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A
JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE. THE MORTGAGOR AGREES THAT SERVICE OF
PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL),
POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE ISSUER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE OR AT
SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE MORTGAGEE SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED PURSUANT
THERETO. IF ANY AGENT APPOINTED BY THE MORTGAGOR REFUSES TO ACCEPT SERVICE, THE
MORTGAGOR HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE UPON IT BY MAIL SHALL CONSTITUTE
SUFFICIENT NOTICE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN
ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE MORTGAGEE TO
BRING

 

32

 

PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE MORTGAGOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION. THE MORTGAGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

SECTION 14.12  Severability
of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision
in any other jurisdiction.

 

SECTION 14.13  Limitation
on Interest Payable. It is the intention of the parties to conform strictly
to the usury laws, whether state or Federal, that are applicable to the
transaction of which this Mortgage is a part. All agreements between the
Mortgagor and the Mortgagee, whether now existing or hereafter arising and
whether oral or written, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency
or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid by the Mortgagor
for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned or advanced
under the Indenture or any related document or for the payment or performance
of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in the Indenture or any
related document exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable Federal
or state usury laws. If under any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any
such provision, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall
involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation
to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity. If under any
circumstances the Mortgagor shall have paid an amount deemed interest by
applicable law, which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that
would be excessive interest under applicable usury laws shall be applied to the
reduction of the principal amount owing in respect of the Secured Obligations
and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the
unpaid balance of principal and any other amounts due hereunder, the excess
shall be refunded to the Mortgagor. All sums paid or agreed to be paid for the
use, forbearance or detention of the principal under any extension of credit by
the Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and to the
extent necessary to preclude exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law,
be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date hereof until payment
in full of the Secured Obligations so that the actual rate of interest on
account of such principal amounts is uniform throughout the term hereof.

 

SECTION 14.14  Business
Days. In the event any time period or any date provided in this Mortgage
ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall
be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding
Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day,
with the same force and effect as if made on such other day.

 

SECTION 14.15  Relationship.
The relationship of the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor hereunder is strictly and
solely that of lender and borrower and mortgagor and mortgagee and nothing contained
in the Indenture, the Notes, this Mortgage or any other document or instrument
now existing and delivered in connection therewith or otherwise in connection
with the Secured Obligations is intended to create, or shall in any event or
under any circumstance be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture,
tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever
between the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor other than as lender and borrower and
mortgagor and mortgagee.

 

SECTION 14.16  Waiver
of Stay.

 

(i)                                     The
Mortgagor agrees that in the event that the Mortgagor or any property or assets
of the Mortgagor shall hereafter become the subject of a voluntary or
involuntary proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or the Mortgagor shall otherwise
be a party to any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or
similar proceeding to which the provisions relating to the automatic stay under
Section 362 of the

 

33

 

Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision in any such
law is applicable, then, in any such case, whether or not the Mortgagee has
commenced foreclosure proceedings under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall be
entitled to relief from any such automatic stay as it relates to the exercise
of any of the rights and remedies (including, without limitation, any
foreclosure proceedings) available to the Mortgagee as provided in this
Mortgage, in any other Collateral Document or any other document evidencing the
Secured Obligations.

 

(ii)                                  The
Mortgagee shall have the right to petition or move any court having
jurisdiction over any proceeding described in Section 14.16(i) hereof
for the purposes provided therein, and the Mortgagor agrees (i) not to
oppose any such petition or motion and (ii) at the Mortgagor’s sole cost
and expense, to assist and cooperate with the Mortgagee, as may be
requested by the Mortgagee from time to time, in obtaining any relief requested
by the Mortgagee, including, without limitation, by filing any such petitions,
supplemental petitions, requests for relief, documents, instruments or other
items from time to time requested by the Mortgagee or any such court.

 

SECTION 14.17  No
Credit for Payment of Taxes or Impositions. The Mortgagor shall not be
entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest
payable under the Indenture or the Notes, and the Mortgagor shall not be
entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become payable
under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Charge on
the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

 

SECTION 14.18  No
Claims Against the Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall
constitute any consent or request by the Mortgagee, express or implied, for the
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or
other property in respect of the Premises or any part thereof, nor as
giving the Mortgagor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit
the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or
other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against
the Mortgagee in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the
performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials
or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.

 

SECTION 14.19  Obligations
Absolute. All obligations of the Mortgagor hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of:

 

(i)                                     any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition,
liquidation or the like of the Mortgagor, the Issuer or any other Guarantor;

 

(ii)                                  any
lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or any other
agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(iii)                               any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
consent to any departure from the Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement
or instrument relating thereto;

 

(iv)                              any
exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all
or any of the Secured Obligations;

 

(v)                                 any
exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or
privilege under or in respect hereof, the Indenture, the Notes or any agreement
or instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth in a waiver
granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.9 hereof; or

 

34

 

(vi)                              any
other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, the Mortgagor.

 

SECTION 14.20  Last
Dollars Secured. This Mortgage secures only a portion of the Indebtedness
owing or which may become owing by the Mortgagor. The parties agree that
any payments or repayments of such Indebtedness by the Mortgagor shall be and
be deemed to be applied first to the portion of the Indebtedness that is not
secured hereby, it being the parties’ intent that the portion of the Indebtedness
last remaining unpaid shall be secured hereby.

FORM OF SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE

AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT
AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the
       day of
             ,
         by and between
                                                          ,
as trustee, having an office at
                              
(in such capacity, “Trustee”), and
                                           ,
having an office at                                                  
(“Tenant”).

 

R E C I T A L S:

 

A. Tenant is the tenant under a certain lease dated
                        ,
            
between
                                                                  ,
as landlord (“Landlord”), and Tenant, as tenant (as amended through the date
hereof, the “Lease”), pursuant to which Tenant leased a portion (the “Leased
Premises”) of the property known as
                                                        ,
located
at                                                        ,
as more particularly described in Schedule A attached hereto (the “Property”).

 

B. Landlord has or will grant a mortgage lien on and
security interest in the Property to Trustee (for its benefit and for the benefit
of the holders of certain senior secured notes and notes issued in exchange
therefor pursuant to that certain indenture dated as of
[               
     , 2002]) pursuant to one or more mortgages, deeds
of trust, deeds to secure debt or similar security instruments (collectively,
the “Security Instruments”).

 

C. Tenant has agreed to subordinate the Lease to the
Security Instruments and to the lien thereof and Trustee has agreed not to
disturb Tenant’s possessory rights in the Leased Premises under the Lease on
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

A  G  R  E  E
M  E  N  T:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as
follows:

 

1. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth in the Lease, the Lease and the leasehold estate created
thereby and all of Tenant’s rights thereunder are and shall at all times be
subject and subordinate in all respects to the Security Instruments and the
lien thereof, and to all rights of Trustee thereunder, and to any and all
advances to be made thereunder, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.

 

2. Nondisturbance. So long as Tenant complies with the
provisions of this Agreement, pays all rents and other charges as specified in
the Lease and is not otherwise in default (beyond applicable notice and cure
periods) of any of its obligations and covenants pursuant to the Lease, Trustee
agrees for itself and its successors in interest and for any other person
acquiring title to the Property through a foreclosure (an “Acquiring Party”),
that Tenant’s possession of the Leased Premises as described in the Lease will
not be disturbed during the term of the Lease by reason of a foreclosure. For
purposes of this Agreement, a “foreclosure” shall include (but not be limited
to) a sheriff’s or trustee’s sale under the power of sale contained in the
Security Instruments, the termination of any superior lease of the Property and
any other transfer of the Landlord’s interest in the Property under peril of
foreclosure, including, without limitation to the generality of the foregoing,
an assignment or sale in lieu of foreclosure.

 

1

 

3. Attornment. Tenant agrees to attorn to, accept and recognize
any Acquiring Party as the landlord under the Lease pursuant to the provisions
expressly set forth therein for the then remaining balance of the term of the
Lease, and any extensions thereof as made pursuant to the Lease. The foregoing
provision shall be self-operative and shall not require the execution of any
further instrument or agreement by Tenant as a condition to its effectiveness.

 

4. No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in the Lease, it is specifically understood and agreed that
neither the Trustee, any receiver nor any Acquiring Party shall be:

 

(a)  liable for any act, omission, negligence or default of any
prior landlord (including Landlord); or

 

(b)  liable for any failure of any prior landlord (including
Landlord) to construct any improvements or bound by any covenant to construct
any improvement either at the commencement of the term of the Lease or upon any
renewal or extension thereof or upon the addition of additional space pursuant
to any expansion right contained in the Lease; or

 

(c)  subject to any offsets, credits, claims or defenses which
Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or

 

(d)  bound by any rent or additional rent which is payable on a
monthly basis and which Tenant might have paid for more than one (1) month
in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord) or by any security
deposit or other prepaid charge which Tenant might have paid in advance to any
prior landlord (including Landlord); or

 

(e)  liable to Tenant hereunder or under the terms of the Lease
beyond its interest in the Property; or

 

(f)  bound by any assignment, subletting, renewal, extension or
any other agreement or modification of the Lease made without the written
consent of Trustee; or

 

(g)  bound by any consensual or negotiated surrender, cancellation
or termination of the Lease, in whole or in part, agreed upon between Landlord
and Tenant unless effected unilaterally by Tenant pursuant to the express terms
of the Lease.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant reserves its
right to any and all claims or causes of action (i) against such prior
landlord for prior losses or damages and (ii) against the successor
landlord for all losses or damages arising from and after the date that such
successor landlord takes title to the Property.

 

5. Certain Acknowledgments and Agreements by Tenant. (a) Tenant
has notice that the Lease and the rents and all other sums due thereunder have
been assigned to Trustee as security for the notes secured by the Security
Instruments. In the event Trustee notifies Tenant of the occurrence of a
default under the Security Instruments and demands that Tenant pay its rents
and all other sums due or to become due under the Lease directly to Trustee,
Tenant shall honor such demand and pay its rent and all other sums due under
the Lease directly to Trustee or as otherwise authorized in writing by Trustee.
Landlord irrevocably authorizes Tenant to make the foregoing payments to
Trustee upon such notice and demand.

 

(b)  Tenant shall send a copy of any and all
notices or statements under the Lease to Trustee at the same time such notices
or statements are sent to Landlord.

 

2

 

(c)  This Agreement satisfies any and all
