                  1.2. GENERAL COVENANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS. Grantor covenants,
represents and warrants that as of the date hereof and at all times thereafter
during the term hereof: (a) Grantor is seized of an indefeasible estate in fee

absolute title to it and the balance of the Property free and clear of all
liens, security interests, charges and encumbrances whatsoever, except those set

Agreement have been terminated.

                  1.3. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS. Grantor
covenants and represents that the Land and the Improvements and the use thereof
presently comply with, and, to the extent required by the Loan Agreement, will
continue to comply with, all applicable restrictive covenants, zoning and
subdivision ordinances and building codes, licenses, health and environmental
laws and regulations and all other applicable laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations.

                  1.4. TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES.

                  1.4.1. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. Grantor shall pay promptly when
due all taxes, assessments, rates, dues, charges, fees, levies, fines,
impositions, liabilities, obligations, liens and encumbrances of every kind and
nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied or assessed upon or against
the Property or any part thereof, or upon or against this Deed of Trust or
Borrower's Liabilities; provided, however, that Grantor may in good faith
contest the validity, applicability or amount of any tax, assessment or other
charge, if Grantor complies with any provisions which may be set forth in the
Loan Agreement regarding the contest of taxes.

                  1.4.2. TAXES AFFECTING INTEREST OF AGENT AND LENDERS. If any
state, federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation,
which becomes effective subsequent to the date hereof, in any manner changes or
modifies existing laws governing the taxation of mortgages or deeds of trust or
debts secured by mortgages or deeds of trust, or the manner of collecting taxes,
so as to impose on Agent or Lenders a tax by reason of its ownership of any or
all of the Loan Instruments or measured by the principal amount of Borrower's
Liabilities, requires or has the practical effect of requiring Agent or Lenders
to pay any portion of the real estate taxes levied in respect of the Property or
to pay any tax levied in whole or in part in substitution for real estate taxes
or otherwise affects materially and adversely the rights of Agent or Lenders in
respect of Borrower's Liabilities, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan
Instruments, Borrower's Liabilities and all interest accrued thereon shall, upon
thirty (30) days' notice, become due and payable forthwith at the option of
Agent, whether or not there shall have occurred an Event of Default, provided,
however, that, if Grantor may, without violating or causing a violation of such
law, order, rule or regulation, pay such taxes or other sums as are necessary to
eliminate such adverse effect upon the rights of Agent and Lenders and does pay
such taxes or other sums when due, Agent may not elect to declare due Borrower's
Liabilities by reason of the provisions of this Section 1.4.2.

                  1.5. MECHANIC'S AND OTHER LIENS. Grantor shall not permit or
suffer any mechanic's, laborer's, materialman's, statutory or other lien or
encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens and any lien for taxes and assessments
not yet due) to be created upon or against the Property; provided, however, that
Grantor may in good faith, by appropriate proceedings, contest the validity,
applicability or amount of any asserted lien, if Grantor complies with any
provisions which may be set forth in the Loan Agreement regarding the contest of
liens.

                  1.6. INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION.

                  1.6.1. INSURANCE POLICIES. Grantor shall, at its sole expense,
obtain for, deliver to and maintain for the benefit of Agent and list Agent as
loss payee and additional insured, as its interest may appear, until Borrower's
Liabilities are paid in full, such policies of insurance as are required by the
Loan Agreement.

                  1.6.2. ADJUSTMENT OF LOSS; APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as
otherwise may be provided by the Loan Agreement, Agent is hereby authorized and
empowered, at its option, to adjust or compromise any loss under any insurance
policies covering the Property and to collect and receive the proceeds from any
such policy or policies. Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its
attorney-in-fact for the purposes set forth in the preceding sentence. The
entire amount of such proceeds, awards or compensation shall be applied as
provided in the Loan Agreement.

                  1.6.3. CONDEMNATION AWARDS. Agent shall be entitled to all
compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds of, or on
account of, (i) any damage or taking, pursuant to the power of eminent domain,
of the Property or any part thereof, (ii) damage to the Property by reason of
the taking, pursuant to the power of eminent domain, of other property, or (iii)
the alteration of the grade of any street or highway on or about the Property.
Agent is hereby authorized, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute
in its own or Grantor's name any action or proceeding relating to any such
compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds and to
settle or compromise any claim in connection therewith. Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact for the purposes set forth in
the preceding sentence. In the event that Grantor acquires any real estate to
replace all or any portion of the Property which became subject to any such
action or proceeding, Grantor shall execute and deliver to Agent a deed of trust
of such replacement property, which deed of trust shall be in substantially the
same form as this Deed of Trust, and Grantor shall deliver to Agent a survey and
a title insurance policy and such other items in connection with such
replacement property as Agent may require, all in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent.

                  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, Grantor shall promptly and with all due
diligence restore and repair the Property whether or not the proceeds, award or
other compensation are made available to Grantor or are sufficient to pay the
cost of such restoration or repair.

                  1.7. AGENT MAY PAY; DEFAULT RATE. Upon Grantor's failure to
pay any amount required to be paid by Grantor under any provision of this Deed
of Trust, Agent may pay the same. Grantor shall pay to Agent on demand the
amount so paid by Agent together with interest at a rate equal to the highest
rate payable under the Loan Agreement after the occurrence of an "Event of
Default" as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement (the

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

"DEFAULT RATE") and the amount so paid by Agent, together with interest, shall
be added to Borrower's Liabilities.

                  1.8. CARE OF THE PROPERTY. Grantor shall preserve and maintain
the Property in good operating condition. Grantor shall not, without the prior
written consent of Agent, permit, commit or suffer any waste, impairment or
deterioration of the Property or of any part thereof. Except to the extent that
capital expenditures are permitted by the Loan Agreement, no new improvements
shall be constructed on the Property and no part of the Property shall be
altered in any material manner without the prior written consent of Agent.

                  1.9. TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE PROPERTY. Except as
permitted by the Loan Agreement, Grantor shall not permit or suffer to occur any
sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, mortgage, lease or encumbrance of the
Property, any part thereof, or any interest therein, without the prior written
consent of Agent having been obtained.

                  1.10. FURTHER ASSURANCES. At any time and from time to time,
upon Agent's request, Grantor shall make, execute and deliver, or cause to be
made, executed and delivered, to Agent, and where appropriate shall cause to be
recorded, registered or filed, and from time to time thereafter to be
re-recorded, re-registered and refiled at such time and in such offices and
places as shall be deemed desirable by Agent, any and all such further
mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, instruments of further
assurance, certificates and other documents as Agent may consider reasonably
necessary in order to effectuate or perfect, or to continue and preserve the
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 either
party, and, specifically, Agent shall be entitled, at its option, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, to all rents, income and other
benefits from the Property, whether or not Agent takes possession of such
property. Such assignment and grant shall continue in effect until Borrower's
Liabilities are paid in full and all obligations of Agent and Lenders under the
Loan Agreement 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 Agent 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 collect the rents, income and other benefits
from the Property as they become due and payable but not more than thirty (30)
days prior to the due date thereof.

                  1.12. AFTER-ACQUIRED PROPERTY. To the extent permitted by, and
subject to, applicable law, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall automatically
attach, without further act, to all property hereafter acquired by Grantor
located in or 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

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Property or any part thereof. The assignment contained in Sections (E) and (F)
of the Granting Clauses shall not be deemed to impose upon Agent any of the
obligations or duties of the landlord or Grantor 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.

                  1.15. EXECUTION OF LEASES. Grantor shall not permit any leases
to be made of the Property, or to be modified, terminated, extended or renewed,
without the prior written consent of Agent.

                  1.16. EXPENSES. In the event of foreclosure hereof, Agent
shall be entitled to add to Borrower's Liabilities its reasonable expenses
related thereto.

                  1.17. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

                  (a) Except as disclosed by letter dated June 18, 2002 to the
         Agent from Grantor, Grantor covenants, warrants and represents that
         there are no, nor will there, for so long as any of Borrower's
         Liabilities remain outstanding, be, any Hazardous Materials (as
         hereinafter defined) generated, released, stored, buried or deposited
         over, beneath, in or upon the Property except as such Hazardous

         connection with the permitted uses of the Property and then only to the
         extent permitted by law after obtaining all necessary permits and
         licenses therefor or, if not permitted by law, then to the extent
         non-compliance with applicable law is permitted by the Loan Agreement.
         For purposes of this Deed of Trust, "HAZARDOUS MATERIALS" shall mean
         and include any asbestos containing materials, polychlorinated
         biphenyls ("PCBS"), petroleum products, lead based paint, radioactive
         materials and any other hazardous, special or toxic materials, wastes
         and substances which are defined, determined or identified as such in
         any federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations, ordinances,

         Liabilities, or other satisfaction of the indebtedness secured by this
         Deed of Trust, whether by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.

                  (e) Any loss, damage, cost, expense or liability incurred by

AND OTHER LOAN INSTRUMENTS. Grantor shall perform, observe and comply with or
cause to be performed, observed and complied with in a complete and timely
manner all provisions hereof, of the Loan Agreement and of the Notes, every
other Loan Instrument and every instrument evidencing or securing Borrower's
Liabilities.

                  1.2. GENERAL COVENANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS. Grantor covenants,
represents and warrants that as of the date hereof and at all times thereafter
during the term hereof: (a) Grantor is seized of an indefeasible estate in fee

absolute title to it and the balance of the Property free and clear of all
liens, security interests, charges and encumbrances whatsoever, except those set

insuring the lien of this Deed of Trust permitted by Agent (such liens, security
interests, charges and encumbrances being hereinafter referred to as the
"PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES"), which Permitted Encumbrances shall include Permitted
Liens (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and the licenses, covenants,
restrictions, easements and rights of way granted from time to time by Grantor

full and all obligations of Agent and Lenders under the Loan Agreement have been
terminated.

<PAGE>

                  1.3. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS. Grantor
covenants and represents that the Land and the Improvements and the use thereof
presently comply with, and, to the extent required by the Loan Agreement, will
continue to comply with, all applicable restrictive covenants, zoning and
subdivision ordinances and building codes, licenses, health and environmental
laws and regulations and all other applicable laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations.

                  1.4. TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES.

                  1.4.1. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. Grantor shall pay promptly when
due all taxes, assessments, rates, dues, charges, fees, levies, fines,
impositions, liabilities, obligations, liens and encumbrances of every kind and
nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied or assessed upon or against
the Property or any part thereof, or upon or against this Deed of Trust or
Borrower's Liabilities; provided, however, that Grantor may in good faith
contest the validity, applicability or amount of any tax, assessment or other
charge, if Grantor complies with any provisions which may be set forth in the
Loan Agreement regarding the contest of taxes.

                  1.4.2. TAXES AFFECTING INTEREST OF AGENT AND LENDERS. If any
state, federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation,
which becomes effective subsequent to the date hereof, in any manner changes or
modifies existing laws governing the taxation of mortgages or deeds of trust or
debts secured by mortgages or deeds of trust, or the manner of collecting taxes,
so as to impose on Agent or Lenders a tax by reason of its ownership of any or
all of the Loan Instruments or measured by the principal amount of Borrower's
Liabilities, requires or has the practical effect of requiring Agent or Lenders
to pay any portion of the real estate taxes levied in respect of the Property or
to pay any tax levied in whole or in part in substitution for real estate taxes
or otherwise affects materially and adversely the rights of Agent or Lenders in
respect of Borrower's Liabilities, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan
Instruments, Borrower's Liabilities and all interest accrued thereon shall, upon
thirty (30) days' notice, become due and payable forthwith at the option of
Agent, whether or not there shall have occurred an Event of Default, provided,
however, that, if Grantor may, without violating or causing a violation of such
law, order, rule or regulation, pay such taxes or other sums as are necessary to
eliminate such adverse effect upon the rights of Agent and Lenders and does pay
such taxes or other sums when due, Agent may not elect to declare due Borrower's
Liabilities by reason of the provisions of this Section 1.4.2.

                  1.5. MECHANIC'S AND OTHER LIENS. Grantor shall not permit or
suffer any mechanic's, laborer's, materialman's, statutory or other lien or
encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens and any lien for taxes and assessments
not yet due) to be created upon or against the Property; provided, however, that
Grantor may in good faith, by appropriate proceedings, contest the validity,
applicability or amount of any asserted lien, if Grantor complies with any
provisions which may be set forth in the Loan Agreement regarding the contest of
liens.

                  1.6. INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION.

                  1.6.1. INSURANCE POLICIES. Grantor shall, at its sole expense,
obtain for, deliver to and maintain for the benefit of Agent and list Agent as
loss payee and additional insured, as its interest may appear, until Borrower's
Liabilities are paid in full, such policies of insurance as are required by the
Loan Agreement.

                  1.6.2. ADJUSTMENT OF LOSS; APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as
otherwise may be provided by the Loan Agreement, Agent is hereby authorized and
empowered, at its option, to adjust or compromise any loss under any insurance
policies covering the Property and to collect and receive the proceeds from any
such policy or policies. Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its
attorney-in-fact for the purposes set forth in the preceding sentence. The
entire amount of such proceeds, awards or compensation shall be applied as
provided in the Loan Agreement.

                  1.6.3. CONDEMNATION AWARDS. Agent shall be entitled to all
compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds of, or on
account of, (i) any damage or taking, pursuant to the power of eminent domain,
of the Property or any part thereof, (ii) damage to the Property by reason of
the taking, pursuant to the power of eminent domain, of other property, or (iii)
the alteration of the grade of any street or highway on or about the Property.
Agent is hereby authorized, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute
in its own or Grantor's name any action or proceeding relating to any such
compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds and to
settle or compromise any claim in connection therewith. Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact for the purposes set forth in
the preceding sentence. In the event that Grantor acquires any real estate to
replace all or any portion of the Property which became subject to any such
action or proceeding, Grantor shall execute and deliver to Agent a deed of trust
of such replacement property, which deed of trust shall be in substantially the
same form as this Deed of Trust, and Grantor shall deliver to Agent a survey and
a title insurance policy and such other items in connection with such
replacement property as Agent may require, all in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent.

                  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, Grantor shall promptly and with all due
diligence restore and repair the Property whether or not the proceeds, award or
other compensation are made available to Grantor or are sufficient to pay the
cost of such restoration or repair.

                  1.7. AGENT MAY PAY; DEFAULT RATE. Upon Grantor's failure to
pay any amount required to be paid by Grantor under any provision of this Deed
of Trust, Agent may pay the same. Grantor shall pay to Agent on demand the
amount so paid by Agent together with interest at a rate equal to the highest
rate payable under the Loan Agreement after the occurrence of an "Event of
Default" as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement (the

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

"DEFAULT RATE") and the amount so paid by Agent, together with interest, shall
be added to Borrower's Liabilities.

                  1.8. CARE OF THE PROPERTY. Grantor shall preserve and maintain
the Property in good operating condition. Grantor shall not, without the prior
written consent of Agent, permit, commit or suffer any waste, impairment or
deterioration of the Property or of any part thereof. Except to the extent that
capital expenditures are permitted by the Loan Agreement, no new improvements
shall be constructed on the Property and no part of the Property shall be
altered in any material manner without the prior written consent of Agent.

                  1.9. TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE PROPERTY. Except as
permitted by the Loan Agreement, Grantor shall not permit or suffer to occur any
sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, mortgage, lease or encumbrance of the
Property, any part thereof, or any interest therein, without the prior written
consent of Agent having been obtained.

                  1.10. FURTHER ASSURANCES. At any time and from time to time,
upon Agent's request, Grantor shall make, execute and deliver, or cause to be
made, executed and delivered, to Agent, and where appropriate shall cause to be
recorded, registered or filed, and from time to time thereafter to be
re-recorded, re-registered and refiled at such time and in such offices and
places as shall be deemed desirable by Agent, any and all such further
mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, instruments of further
assurance, certificates and other documents as Agent may consider reasonably
necessary in order to effectuate or perfect, or to continue and preserve the
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 either
party, and, specifically, Agent shall be entitled, at its option, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, to all rents, income and other
benefits from the Property, whether or not Agent takes possession of such
property. Such assignment and grant shall continue in effect until Borrower's
Liabilities are paid in full and all obligations of Agent and Lenders under the
Loan Agreement 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 Agent 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 collect the rents, income and other benefits
from the Property as they become due and payable but not more than thirty (30)
days prior to the due date thereof.

                  1.12. AFTER-ACQUIRED PROPERTY. To the extent permitted by, and
subject to, applicable law, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall automatically
attach, without further act, to all property hereafter acquired by Grantor
located in or 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

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Property or any part thereof. The assignment contained in Sections (E) and (F)
of the Granting Clauses shall not be deemed to impose upon Agent any of the
obligations or duties of the landlord or Grantor 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.

                  1.15. EXECUTION OF LEASES. Grantor shall not permit any leases
to be made of the Property, or to be modified, terminated, extended or renewed,
without the prior written consent of Agent.

                  1.16. EXPENSES. In the event of foreclosure hereof, Agent
shall be entitled to add to Borrower's Liabilities its reasonable expenses
related thereto.

                  1.17. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

                  (a) Except as disclosed by letter dated June 18, 2002 to the

         over, beneath, in or upon the Property except as such Hazardous
         Materials may be required to be used, stored or transported in
         connection with the permitted uses of the Property and then only to the
         extent permitted by law after obtaining all necessary permits and

         MATERIALS LAWS."

                  (b) Grantor shall, and Grantor shall cause all employees,
         agents, contractors and subcontractors of Grantor and any other persons
         from time to

         obtaining all necessary permits and licenses therefor.

                  (c) Grantor shall immediately advise Agent in writing of: (i)
         any notices received by Grantor (whether such notices are from the
         Environmental Protection Agency, or any other federal, state or local
         governmental agency or regional office thereof) of the violation or
         potential violation occurring on or about the Property of any
         applicable Hazardous Materials Laws; (ii) any and all enforcement,
         cleanup, removal or other governmental or regulatory actions
         instituted, completed or threatened pursuant to any Hazardous Materials
         Laws; and (iii) all claims made or threatened by any third party
         against Grantor or the Property relating to damage, contribution, cost
         recovery compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous

         shall have the right but not the obligation to join and participate in,
         as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated
         in connection with any Hazardous Materials Claims and Grantor shall pay
         to Agent, upon demand, all attorneys' and consultants' fees incurred by
         Agent in connection therewith.

                  (d) Grantor shall be solely responsible for, and shall
         indemnify and hold harmless Agent and Lenders, and the directors,
         officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns of each of them,

         or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the use, generation,
         storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence
         (whether prior to or during the term of the Loan or otherwise and
         regardless of by whom caused, whether by Grantor or any predecessor in
         title or any owner of land adjacent to the Property or any other third
         party, or any employee, agent, contractor or subcontractor of Grantor
         or any predecessor in title or any such adjacent land owner or any
         third person) of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property;
         including, without limitation: (i) claims of third parties (including
         governmental agencies) for damages, penalties, losses, costs, fees,
         expenses, damages, injunctive or other relief; (ii) response costs,
         clean-up costs, costs and expenses of removal and restoration,

         including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, witness fees,
         deposition costs, copying and telephone charges and other expenses. The
         obligations of Grantor under this subsection shall survive any of the
         foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, the repayment of Borrower's
         Liabilities, or other satisfaction of the indebtedness secured by this
         Deed of Trust, whether by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.

                  (e) Any loss, damage, cost, expense or liability incurred by
         Agent or Lenders as a result of a breach or misrepresentation by
         Grantor or for which Grantor is responsible or for which Grantor has
         indemnified Agent and Lenders shall be paid to Agent or Lenders, as the
         case may be, on demand, and, failing prompt reimbursement, such amounts
         shall, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date
         incurred by Agent or Lenders, as the case may be, 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
         Loan Instruments.

         Trust and such failure is not cured to Agent's satisfaction within
         fifteen (15) days after the sooner to occur of Grantor's receipt of
         notice of such breach from Agent or the date on which such failure or
         neglect first becomes known to any officer of Grantor, except for any
         occurrence described in the Loan Agreement for which a different grace
         or cure period is specified or which constitutes an immediate "Event of
         Default" under and as defined in the Loan Agreement, in which event the
         Loan Agreement will control.

                  (b) The occurrence of an "Event of Default" under and as
         defined in the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Instruments.

accelerated, Trustee, upon the written request of Agent, shall foreclose upon
and sell the Property for cash in hand on day of sale to satisfy the Borrower's
Liabilities in accordance with applicable provisions of West Virginia law. From
the proceeds of such sale, Trustee shall pay, first the costs and expenses of
executing this trust including the reasonable legal fees and other reasonable
expenses of Agent, Lenders and Trustee, but Trustee shall be entitled to no
commission; second, to Agent and/or Lenders all sums paid for taxes, insurance,
repairs and all other costs and expenses incurred or paid under the provisions
of this Deed of Trust, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from
the date of payment; third, to Agent and/or Lenders the full amount due and

Property.

                  3.5. ACTION OF TRUSTEE. Trustee may act in the execution of
this trust, by agent or attorney. It is not necessary for Trustee to be
personally present at any foreclosure sale.

                  3.6. SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEE. Agent may from time to time, for
any reason or for no reason, substitute another Trustee, corporation or person,
in place of the Trustee herein named. Upon each such appointment, the
substituted Trustee shall be vested with all the rights, titles, interests,
powers, duties and trusts conferred upon the Trustee herein named. Each
appointment and substitution shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing,
executed

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

and acknowledged by Agent, which when recorded in the office of the Clerk of
the County Commission of Hancock County, shall be conclusive proof of the
proper substitution and appointment and notice to all parties in interest.

                  3.7. PERSONAL PROPERTY AND FIXTURES. If an Event of Default

of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of West Virginia, including
the right to sell it at public or private sale or otherwise dispose of, lease or
use it, without regard to preservation of the Property or its value and without
the necessity of a court order.

                  3.8. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No right, power or remedy conferred
upon or reserved to Agent or Lenders by the Notes, the Loan Agreement, this Deed
of Trust or any other Loan Instrument or any instrument evidencing or securing
Borrower's Liabilities is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but
each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent
and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or
under the Notes, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Instrument or any
instrument evidencing or securing Borrower's Liabilities, or now or hereafter

institutions which are or become a party to the Loan Agreement as Lenders may
from time to time be

                                      -13-

replaced and, accordingly, one or more of the Notes may from time to time be
replaced, provided that the terms of the Notes following such replacement,
including the principal amount evidenced thereby, shall remain the same. As the
indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust shall remain the same, such
replacement of the Notes shall not be construed as a novation and shall not
