with respect to the Secured Obligations or under this Deed of Trust (other than
any unpaid Imposition, lien, encumbrance or charge at the time being contested

     SECTION 1.14. Assignment of Leases, Rents, Proceeds, etc.
                   ------------------------------------------

          (a) As part of the consideration for the Secured Obligations, and not
     as additional security therefor, Trustor hereby absolutely assigns and
     transfers to Beneficiary all the right, title and interest of Trustor in
     and to (i) all leases, licenses, occupancy agreements, concessions and
     other arrangements, oral or written, now existing or hereafter entered
     into, whereby any Person agrees to pay money or any other consideration for
     the use, possession or occupancy of, or any estate in, the Property or any
     portion thereof or interest therein, and all proceeds thereof (herein
     collectively referred to as the "Leases"), (ii) all rents, issues, profits,
                                      ------
     royalties,

                                       -13-

<PAGE>

     avails, income and other benefits derived or owned, directly or indirectly,
     by the Trustor from the Property, including, without limitation, all rents
     and other consideration payable by tenants, claims against guarantors, and
     any cash or other securities deposited to secure performance by tenants,
     under the Leases, and all proceeds thereof (herein collectively referred to
     as "Rents") and (iii) all Proceeds. In addition, Trustor hereby gives to
         -----
     and confers upon Beneficiary the right, power and authority to exercise all
     of Trustor's options, rights and remedies under the Leases and collect the
     Rents and Proceeds. Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its
     true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, at the option
     of Beneficiary, at any time and from time to time, to demand, receive and
     enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions, to exercise
     all of Trustor's options, rights and remedies under the Leases and to sue,
     in the name of Trustor or Beneficiary, for all Rents and Proceeds, and
     apply the same to the Obligations secured hereby; provided, however, that
     Trustor shall have a license to collect such Rents and Proceeds as provided
     in Section 1.14(c) below. The assignment of the Leases, Rents and Proceeds
        ---------------
     contained herein is intended to be an absolute assignment from Trustor to
     Beneficiary and not merely the passing of a security interest and shall be
     effective immediately upon the recording of this Deed of Trust. Trustor
     hereby waives any requirement that a receiver be appointed for the
     Collateral or that Beneficiary take possession of the Collateral in order
     for such assignment of the Leases, Rents and Proceeds to become effective.
     Nothing herein shall be construed as obligating Beneficiary to perform any
     of Trustor's obligations under any of the Leases or other agreements
     relating to the Collateral.

          (b) Trustor acknowledges and agrees that the acceptance by Beneficiary
     of the assignments of the Leases, Rents and Proceeds with all of the
     rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not, prior to
     entry upon and taking of possession of the Property by Beneficiary, be
     deemed or construed to constitute a mortgagee in possession nor thereafter
     or at any time or in any event obligate Beneficiary to appear in or defend
     any action or proceeding relating to the Leases or to the Property, or to
     take any action hereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or
     perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or
     other

                                       -14-

<PAGE>

     agreements relating to the Collateral, or to assume any obligation or
     responsibility for any security deposits or other deposits delivered to
     Trustor by lessees thereunder and not assigned and delivered to
     Beneficiary, nor shall Beneficiary be liable in any way for any injury or
     damage to person or property sustained by any person or persons, firm or
     corporation, in or about the Property.

          (c)  Notwithstanding the absolute, present and irrevocable assignment,
     grant and conveyance by Trustor to Beneficiary of the Leases, Rents and
     Proceeds contained in this Deed of Trust, except as is otherwise provided
     in this Deed of Trust, a license and permission is hereby given to the
     Trustor, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
     hereunder, to collect, receive and apply such Rents, Proceeds and other
     rents, income, proceeds and benefits as they become due and payable, but
     not in advance thereof, and in accordance with all of the other terms,
     conditions and provisions hereof and of the Leases, contracts, agreements
     and other instruments with respect to which such payments are made or such
     other benefits are conferred. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
     Default,(i) such license and permission shall terminate immediately and
     automatically, without notice to the Trustor or any other Person, and shall
     not be reinstated upon a cure of such Event of Default without the express
     written consent of the Beneficiary and (ii) Beneficiary shall immediately
     be entitled to exercise all rights under the Leases and to the possession
     of all Rents and Proceeds, and to collect, receive and apply all Rents,
     Proceeds and all other rents, income, proceeds and benefits from the
     Collateral, including all right, title and interest of the Trustor in any
     escrowed sums or deposits or any portion thereof or interest therein,
     whether or not the Beneficiary takes possession of the Collateral or any
     part thereof. Furthermore, at the Beneficiary's option, upon the occurrence
     of an Event of Default hereunder, Beneficiary may:

               (i)  enter upon and take possession of the Property for the
          purpose of collecting Rents, Proceeds and said rents, income, proceeds
          and other benefits;

               (ii) dispossess by the customary summary proceedings any tenant,
          purchaser or other Person defaulting in the payment of any amount when
          and as due and payable, or in the performance of any other obligation,
          under the Lease, contract or other

          instrument to which said Rents, Proceeds or other rents, income,
          proceeds or benefits relate;

               (iii) let or convey the Collateral or any portion thereof or any
          interest therein; and

               (iv)  apply Rents, Proceeds and such rents, income, proceeds and
          other benefits, after the payment of all necessary fees, charges and
          expenses, on account of the Obligations in accordance with Section
                                                                     -------

     be matured or unmatured, together with interest at the Default Rate on any
     overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest;
     and, in case such amount shall be insufficient to pay in full all such
     amounts, then such amount shall be applied, first, to the payment of all
                                                 -----
     amounts of interest (including Post-Petition Interest to the extent such
     interest is an Obligation) accrued on the Secured Obligations and unpaid,
     second, to the payment of all amounts of principal at the time outstanding;

          (e)   to the Trustor for application to the cost of restoring the
     Collateral and the replacement of Goods destroyed, damaged or taken; or

          (f)   to the Trustor.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3 to the
                                                      -----------
contrary, and if each of the following conditions is satisfied, the Beneficiary,
upon request of the Trustor, shall apply insurance proceeds or condemnation
awards received by it to the restoration or replacement of the Collateral, to
the extent necessary for the restoration or replacement thereof:

                (i)   there shall then exist no uncured material Default;

                (ii)  the Trustor shall furnish to the Beneficiary a certificate
          of an architect or engineer reasonably acceptable to the Beneficiary
          stating (x) that the Collateral is capable of being restored, prior to
          the maturity of the Loans, to substantially the same condition as
          existed prior to the casualty or Taking, (y) the aggregate estimated
          direct and indirect costs of such restoration and (z) as to any
          Taking, that the property taken in such Taking, or sold under threat
          thereof, is not necessary to the Trustor's customary use or occupancy
          of the Property; and

                (iii) in the event that the estimated cost of restoration set
          forth in the certificate of such architect or engineer (and such
          revisions to such estimate as are from time to time made) exceeds the
          net insurance proceeds or condemnation awards actually received from
          time to time, the Trustor shall deposit the amount of such excess with
          the Beneficiary.

     In the event that such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are to be
utilized in the restoration of the Collateral, the Beneficiary shall disburse
such Proceeds and the additional amounts deposited by the Trustor for such
restoration after receipt of a written request for disbursement, on not less
than five nor more than twelve Business Days' notice and, to the extent
applicable, in accordance with customary construction loan procedures and
conditions. In the event that such insurance or condemnation awards are to be
utilized to replace the Collateral so destroyed or taken, the Beneficiary shall
disburse such Proceeds after receipt of a written request for disbursement, on
not less than five nor more than twelve

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

Business Days' notice simultaneously with the acquisition of such replacement
property by the Trustor. In the event that, after the restoration or replacement
of the Collateral, any insurance or condemnation awards shall remain, such
amount shall be paid to the Trustor. Insurance proceeds and condemnation awards
shall be invested in the manner reasonably requested by the Trustor and approved
by the Beneficiary, and all interest earned thereon shall be applied as provided
in this Section 2.3. If, prior to the receipt by the Beneficiary of such
        -----------
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, the Collateral shall have been sold
on foreclosure, the Beneficiary shall have the right to receive said insurance
proceeds or condemnation awards to the extent of any deficiency found to be due
upon such sale, with legal interest thereon, whether or not a deficiency
judgment shall have been sought or recovered or denied, and the reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements incurred by the Beneficiary in
connection with the collection of such award or payment.

      SECTION 2.4. Total Taking and Total Destruction. In the event of a Total
                   ----------------------------------
Destruction or a Total Taking, the Beneficiary shall apply all amounts recovered
under any insurance policy referred to in Section 2.1.1 and all awards received
                                          -------------
by it on account of any such Taking as follows:

           (a) first, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses
      incurred by the Beneficiary in obtaining any such insurance proceeds or
      awards, including the fees and expenses of attorneys and insurance and
      other experts and consultants, the costs of litigation, arbitration,
      mediation, investigations and other judicial, administrative or other
      proceedings and all other out-of-pocket expenses;

           (b) second, Ratably, to the payment of any Obligation secured by this
      Deed of Trust other than indebtedness with respect to the Secured
      Obligations;

           (c) third, Ratably, to the payment of the principal of the Secured
      Obligations and any interest (including Post-Petition Interest to the
      extent such interest is an Obligation) accrued and unpaid thereon, without
      regard to whether any portion or all of such amounts shall be matured or
      unmatured, together with interest at the Default Rate on any overdue
      principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest; and,
      in case such amount shall be insufficient to pay in full all such amounts,
      then such amount shall be applied, first, to the payment of all
                                         -----

     following receipt of a written request from the Beneficiary, the Trustor
     shall have failed to enter into a lawful and binding agreement with the
     Beneficiary, satisfactory in substance and form to the Beneficiary,
     obligating the Trustor to reimburse the Beneficiary for any increase in
     taxation imposed on the Beneficiary by reason of any of the foregoing;

then and in any such event the Beneficiary may at any time thereafter exercise
any right or remedy granted to the Beneficiary under the Credit Agreements or
the other Loan Documents or available to the Beneficiary at law or in equity
including, without limitation, declare, by written notice to the Trustor, the
Secured Obligations and all other Obligations to be due and payable immediately
or on a date specified in such notice, and on such date the same shall be and
become due and payable, together with interest accrued thereon, without
presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which the Trustor hereby waives.
The Trustor will pay on demand all costs and expenses, including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by or on behalf of the
Beneficiary in enforcing this Deed of Trust or the Secured Obligations or any
other Loan Document, or occasioned by any default hereunder or thereunder.

     SECTION 3.2. Legal Proceedings; Foreclosure. If an Event of Default shall
                  ------------------------------
have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary at any time may, at its
election, proceed at law or in equity or otherwise to enforce the payment of the
Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and to
foreclose the lien of this Deed of Trust as against all or any part of the
Collateral and to have the same sold under the judgment or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction. The Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover in such
proceedings all costs incident thereto, including attorneys' fees and expenses
in such amounts as may be fixed by the court.

     SECTION 3.3 Power of Sale. If the unpaid principal amount of and interest
                 -------------
on the Secured Obligations shall have become due and payable (whether at
maturity or as an installment of combined principal and interest or by reason of
any prepayment requirement or by declaration or acceleration or otherwise) and
shall not have been paid, the Beneficiary may sell, assign, transfer and deliver
the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral, or any interest in
any part thereof, at any private sale or at public auction, with or without
demand, advertisement or notice, for cash, on credit or for other property, for
immediate or future delivery, and for

<PAGE>

such price or prices and on such terms as the Beneficiary in its
uncontrolled discretion may determine, or as may be required by law. Without
limiting the authority granted in the immediately preceding sentence, the
Beneficiary shall, without demand on the Trustor, after the lapse of such time
as may then be required by law following the recordation of the notice of
default, and notice of default and notice of sale having been given as then
required by law, sell the Collateral on the date and at the time and place
designated in the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels and
in such order as the Beneficiary may determine, but subject to any statutory
right of the Trustor to direct the order in which such property, if consisting
of several known lots, parcels or interests, shall be sold, at public auction to
the highest bidder, the purchase price payable in lawful money of the United
States at the time of sale. The Person conducting the sale may, for any cause
deemed expedient, postpone the sale from time to time until it shall be
completed and, in every such case, notice of postponement shall be given by
public declaration thereof by such Person at the time and place last appointed
for the sale; provided that, if the sale is postponed for longer than one day
              -------- ----
beyond the day designated in the notice of sale, notice of sale, notice of the
time, date and place of sale shall be given in the same manner as the original
notice of sale. The Beneficiary shall execute and deliver to the purchaser at
any such sale a Beneficiary's deed conveying the property so sold, but without
any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such Beneficiary's
deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness
thereof. Any Person, including the Beneficiary, may bid at the sale. The
Beneficiary shall apply the proceeds of the sale, to the extent consistent with
this Deed of Trust, to the payment of (a) the costs and expenses of exercising
the power of sale and of the sale, including the payment of attorneys' fees and
costs, (b) the cost of any evidence of title procured in connection with such
sale, (c) all sums expended under the terms hereof in conjunction with any
default provision hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the Default
Rate from the date of incurrence, (d) all amounts then secured by this Deed of
Trust, including the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Obligations,
together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and (e) the remainder, if
any, to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, or the Beneficiary, in
the Beneficiary's discretion, may deposit the balance of such proceeds with any
court or public official authorized to receive such proceeds.

     SECTION 3.4. Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. If an Event of Default shall
                  --------------------------------
have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary may exercise from time to time
and at any time any rights and remedies available to it under applicable law
upon default in the payment of indebtedness, including, without limitation, any
right or remedy available to it as a secured party under the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State. The Trustor shall, promptly upon request by the Beneficiary,
assemble the Collateral, or any portion thereof generally described in such
request, and make them available to the Beneficiary at such place or places
designated by the Beneficiary and reasonably convenient to the Beneficiary and
the Trustor. If the Beneficiary elects to proceed under the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State to dispose of portions of the Collateral, the Beneficiary, at
its option, may give the Trustor notice of the time and place of any public sale
of any such property, or of the date after which any private sale or other
disposition thereof is to be made, by sending notice by registered or certified
first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trustor at least ten days before the
time of the sale or other disposition. If any notice of any proposed sale,
assignment or transfer by the Beneficiary of any portion of the Collateral or
any interest therein is required by law, the Trustor conclusively agrees that
ten days' notice to the Trustor of the date, time and place (and, in the case of
a private sale, the terms) thereof is reasonable.

                  --------------------------------------------
irrevocably appoints the Beneficiary the true and lawful attorney of the
Trustor, in its name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of
effectuating, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for the enforcement hereof,
whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, to execute and
deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, releases and other
instruments as may be designated in any such request.

     SECTION 3.6. Purchase of Collateral by Beneficiary. The Beneficiary may be
                  -------------------------------------
a purchaser of the Collateral or of any part thereof or of any interest therein
at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or
otherwise, and the Beneficiary may apply upon the purchase price thereof the
indebtedness secured hereby. Such purchaser shall, upon any such purchase,
acquire good title to the properties so purchased, free of the security interest
and lien of this Deed of Trust and free of all rights of redemption in the
Trustor.

                                       -28-

     SECTION 3.7. Receipt a Sufficient Discharge to Purchaser. Upon any sale of
                  -------------------------------------------
the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether pursuant to
power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, the receipt of the Beneficiary or the
officer making the sale under judicial proceedings shall be a sufficient
discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and such purchaser shall not
be obliged to see to the application thereof.

     SECTION 3.8. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, etc. The Trustor hereby
                  --------------------------------------
waives, to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all
appraisement, valuation, stay, extension and redemption laws now or hereafter in
force and all rights of marshaling in the event of any sale of the Collateral or
any part thereof or any interest therein.

     SECTION 3.9. Sale a Bar Against Trustor. Any sale of the Collateral or any
                  --------------------------
part thereof or any interest therein under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust,
whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, shall forever be a
bar against the Trustor.

     SECTION 3.10. Application of Proceeds of Sale and Other Moneys. The
                   ------------------------------------------------
proceeds of any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest
therein under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust, whether pursuant to power of
sale, foreclosure or otherwise, and all other moneys at any time held by the
Beneficiary as part of the Collateral, shall be applied as follows:

          First: to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of such
          -----
     sale (including, without limitation, the cost of evidence of title and the
     costs and expenses, if any, of taking possession of, retaining custody
     over, repairing, managing, operating, maintaining and preserving the
     Collateral or any part thereof prior to such sale), all reasonable costs
     and expenses incurred by the Beneficiary or any other Person in obtaining
     or collecting any insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or other amounts
     received by the Beneficiary, all reasonable costs and expenses of any
     receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof, and any Impositions or
     other charges or expenses prior to the security interest or lien of this
     Deed of Trust, which the Beneficiary may consider it necessary or desirable

     Beneficiary may consider it necessary or desirable to pay;

          Third: Ratably, to the payment of all amounts of principal of and
          -----
     interest (including Post-Petition Interest to the extent such interest is
     an Obligation) at the time due and payable on the Secured Obligations at
     the time outstanding (whether due by reason of maturity or by reason of any
     prepayment requirement or by declaration or acceleration or otherwise),
     including interest at the Default Rate on any overdue principal and (to the
     extent permitted under applicable law) on any overdue interest; and, in
     case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the amounts so due
     and unpaid with respect to the Secured Obligations at the time outstanding,
     then, first, to the payment of all amounts of interest (including
           -----
     Post-Petition Interest to the extent such interest is an Obligation) at the
     time due and payable on the Secured Obligations and, second, to the payment
                                                          ------

     above, shall, unless a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct
     by final order not subject to appeal, be paid to or upon the direction of
     the Trustor.

     SECTION 3.11. Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have
                   -----------------------
occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary shall, as a matter of right and
without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness secured
hereby or the solvency of the Trustor, be entitled to the appointment of a
receiver for all or any part of the Collateral, whether such receivership be
incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or otherwise, and the Trustor
hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any
such appointment and agrees that all expenses of such receivership shall be
borne by the Trustor and shall be an Obligation secured by this Deed of Trust.

     SECTION 3.12. Possession, Management and Income. If an Event of Default
                   ---------------------------------
shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to, not in limitation of, the
rights and remedies provided in Section 1.14, the Beneficiary, upon five days'
                                ------------

Collateral or any part thereof by force, summary proceeding, ejectment or
otherwise and may remove the Trustor and all other Persons and any and all
property therefrom and may hold, operate, maintain, repair, preserve and manage

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
Beneficiary shall be applied to pay all costs and expenses of so entering upon,
taking possession of, holding, operating, maintaining, repairing, preserving and
managing the Collateral or any part thereof, and any Impositions or other
charges prior to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust which the
Beneficiary may consider it necessary or desirable to pay, and any balance of
such amounts shall be applied as provided in Section 3.10.
                                             ------------

          SECTION 3.13. Right of Beneficiary to Perform Trustor's Covenants,
                        ---------------------------------------------------
etc. If the Trustor shall fail to make any payment or perform any act required
---
to be made or performed hereunder or under the Credit Agreements or the other
Loan Documents, the Beneficiary, without notice to or demand upon the Trustor
and without waiving or releasing any obligation or Default, may (but shall be
under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such
act for the account and at the expense of the Trustor, and may enter upon the
Collateral for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in the
Beneficiary's opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor, provided that
                                                                 -------- ----
the Beneficiary shall have no right to perform any covenant of the Trustor under
Section 1.19 (or Section 1.4 to the extent that it includes any of the matters

more specifically described in Section 1.19) until the entire outstanding
                               ------------
principal amount of the Secured Obligations shall have become due and payable by
reason of the declaration of the Beneficiary or the Lenders or the maturity of
the Notes. No such entry and no such action shall be deemed an eviction of any
lessee of the Property or any part thereof. All sums so paid by the Beneficiary
and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and
expenses) so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from
the date of payment or incurring, shall constitute additional indebtedness
secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be paid by the Trustor to the
Beneficiary on demand.

          SECTION 3.14. Subrogation. To the extent that the Beneficiary, on or
                        -----------
after the date hereof, pays any sum due under

                                      -31-

<PAGE>

any provision of any Legal Requirement or any instrument creating any lien prior
or superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust, or the Trustor or any other
Person pays any such sum with the proceeds of the Loans evidenced by the Notes,
the Beneficiary shall have and be entitled to a lien on the Collateral equal in
priority to the lien discharged, and the Beneficiary shall be subrogated to, and
receive and enjoy all rights and liens possessed, held or enjoyed by, the holder
of such lien, which shall remain in existence and benefit the Beneficiary in
securing the Obligations.

          SECTION 3.15. Remedies, etc., Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy
                        --------------------------
of the Beneficiary provided for in this Deed of Trust or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and
concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy
provided for in this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents, or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Beneficiary of any one or more of
the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Deed of Trust, or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Beneficiary of any or all
such rights, powers or remedies.

          SECTION 3.16. Provisions Subject to Applicable Law. All rights, powers
                        ------------------------------------
and remedies provided in this Deed of Trust may be exercised only to the extent
that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and
are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render
this Deed of Trust invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded,
registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of
this Deed of Trust or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable,
the remainder of this Deed of Trust and any other application of such term shall
not be affected thereby.

          SECTION 3.17. No Waiver, etc. No failure by the Beneficiary to insist
                        --------------
upon the strict performance of any term hereof or of any other Loan Document, or
to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach hereof or
thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term or of any such breach. No
waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Deed of Trust, which shall
continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or
subsequent breach. By accepting payment or performance of any of the Obligations
before or after its due date, the Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have waived
its right either to require prompt payment

                                      -32-

<PAGE>

or performance when due of all other Obligations payable hereunder or to declare
a default for failure to effect such prompt payment or performance.

         SECTION 3.18. Compromise of Actions, etc. Any action, suit or
                       --------------------------
proceeding brought by the Beneficiary pursuant to any of the terms of this Deed
of Trust, the Credit Agreements, any other Loan Document, or otherwise, and any
claim made by the Beneficiary hereunder or thereunder, may be compromised,
withdrawn or otherwise dealt with by the Beneficiary without any notice to or
approval of the Trustor.

<PAGE>

located in the State of California, the provisions set forth below shall be
applicable to this Deed of Trust, and to the extent applicable, shall modify,
affect and supplement the other provisions hereof.

               (a)  Foreclosure by Power of Sale. Should Beneficiary elect to
          foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein contained,
          Beneficiary shall notify Trustee and shall deposit with Trustee this
          Deed of Trust and such receipts and evidence of expenditures made and
          secured hereby as Trustee may require.

                    (i)   Upon receipt of such notice from Beneficiary, Trustee
               shall cause to be recorded, mailed or delivered to Trustor such
               notice of default and election to sell as is then required by law
               and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on
               Trustor, after lapse of such time as may then be required by law
               and after recordation of such notice of default and after notice
               of sale has been given as required by law, sell the Property at
               time and place of sale fixed by it in said notice of sale, either
               as a whole, or in separate lots or parcels or items as Trustee
               shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at
               public auction, to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of
               the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall
               deliver to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and
               sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but
               without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The
               recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive
               proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including without
               limitation Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such
               sale and Trustor hereby covenants to warrant and defend the title
               of such purchaser or purchasers. If allowed by law, Beneficiary,
               if it is the purchaser, may credit bid the outstanding amount of
               the indebtedness secured hereby toward payment of the purchase
               price. Trustor hereby expressly waives any right of redemption
               after sale that Trustor may have at the time of sale or that may
               apply to the sale.

                    (ii)  After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of
               Trustee and of this Deed of Trust, including costs of evidence of
               title in connection with sale and reasonable Trustee's and
               attorneys' fees for conducting the sale, Trustee shall apply the
               proceeds

                                       -39-

<PAGE>

               of sale to payment of all sums expended under the terms hereof
               and not then repaid (with accrued interest at the Default Rate),
               and to all other sums then secured hereby in accordance with
               Section 3.10 of this Deed of Trust, and the remainder, if any, to
               ------------
               the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

                    (iii)  Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of
               the Property by public announcement at such time and place of
               sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by
               public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding
               postponement or by subsequently noticed sale, and without further
               notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement;
               or Trustee may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale.
               Beneficiary may rescind any such notice of default at any time
               before Trustee's sale by executing a notice of rescission and
               recording the same. The recordation of such notice shall
               constitute a cancellation of any prior declaration of default and
               demand for sale and of any acceleration of maturity of the
               indebtedness secured hereby effected by any prior declaration or
               notice of default. The exercise by Beneficiary of the right of
               rescission shall not constitute a waiver of any default and
               demand for sale, or notices of default and of election to cause
               the said real estate to be sold, nor otherwise affect any of the
               Loan Documents or this Deed of Trust, or any of the rights,
               obligations or remedies of Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder.

               (b)  Full Reconveyance. Upon written request of Beneficiary
          stating that all sums secured hereby have been paid, and upon
          surrender of this Deed of Trust to Trustee for cancellation and
          retention and upon payment by Trustor of Trustee's fees, Trustee shall
          reconvey to Trustor, or the person or persons legally entitled
          thereto, without warranty, any portion of the Property then held
          hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts
          shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The grantee in
          any reconveyance may be described as "the person or persons legally
          entitled thereto."

               (c)  Trustee. The following provisions apply to Trustee:

                                       -40-

<PAGE>

                    (i)    Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of Trust,
               duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as
               provided by law, and by its acceptance hereof, Trustee covenants
               faithfully to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created,
               being liable, however, only for willful negligence or misconduct,
               and Trustee hereby waives any statutory fee and agrees to accept
               reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services
               rendered by it in accordance with the terms hereof.

                    (ii)   At any time and from time to time, without liability
               therefor and without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary,
               Trustee shall (1) consent in writing to the making of any map or
               plat of the said real estate, (2) join in granting any easement
               thereon, (3) join in any extension agreement or any agreement
               subordinating the lien or charge hereof.

                    (iii)  Trustee may resign at any time upon giving thirty
               (30) days' notice in writing to Trustor and to Beneficiary.

                    (iv)   Beneficiary may, from time to time, by written
               instrument executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary, mailed to
               Trustor and recorded in the county in which the said real estate
               is located, and by otherwise complying with the provisions of the
               applicable law of the State of California, substitute a successor
               or successors to the person or persons then named herein or
               acting hereunder as Trustee.

               (d)  Beneficiary Statements. Trustor agrees to pay Beneficiary
          for each statement of Beneficiary as to the obligations secured
          hereby, furnished at Trustor's request, the maximum fee allowed by
          law, or if there be no maximum fee, then such reasonable fee as is
          charged by Beneficiary as of the time said statement is furnished.
          Trustor further agrees to pay the charges of Beneficiary for any other
          service rendered Trustor, or on its behalf, in connection with this
          Deed of Trust or the Obligations secured hereby, including without
          limitation the delivery to an escrow holder of a request for full or
          partial reconveyance of this Deed of Trust, transmitting records
          pertaining to this Deed of Trust and the Obligations secured hereby to
          show a new owner of the said real estate, and replacing an existing
          policy of insurance held hereunder with another such policy.

                    (e)  Actions Affecting the Collateral. Trustor, at Trustor's
               expense, shall appear in and contest any action or proceeding
               purporting to affect the Collateral or the security hereof or the
               rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee. Trustor shall pay all
               costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary or Trustee, including
               the cost of evidence of title and attorneys' fees, in any such
               action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear.

                    (f)  Insurance Losses and Proceeds. In the event of loss,
               Trustor shall give immediate written notice to the insurance
               carrier and Beneficiary. Trustor hereby authorizes and empowers
               Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option and in Beneficiary's sole
               discretion as attorney-in-fact for Trustor, to pay premiums, to
               make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under
               insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising
               from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance
               proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Beneficiary's expenses in the
               collection of such proceeds. Trustor further authorizes
               Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option (1) to hold the balance of
               such proceeds to be used for the cost of reconstruction,
               restoration or repair (hereinafter in this subsection referred to
               as "reconstruction") of the said real estate, or (2) to apply the
               balance of such proceeds to the payment of the sums secured by
               this Deed of Trust, whether or not then due; provided, however,
               that Beneficiary shall hold the balance of any proceeds actually
               received by Beneficiary and make such proceeds available to
               Trustor for the costs of reconstruction of the said real estate
               if all of the following conditions are satisfied within sixty
               (60) days from the date of the damage or destruction:

                         (i)   Trustor is not in default hereunder and no event
                    has occurred and no fact exists which with notice and/or
                    lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default.

                         (ii)  Trustor satisfies Beneficiary that after the
                    reconstruction is completed, the value of the Collateral, as
                    determined by Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion, will
                    be not less than the value of the Property (including land
                    and improvements) determined by Beneficiary at the time of
                    the recording of this Deed of Trust.

                                       -42-

<PAGE>

                  (iii)  Beneficiary has been given satisfactory proof that
               expenditure of such proceeds (and, where applicable, the
               additional funds referred to in clause (iv) below) will fully
               restore the Improvements free and clear of all liens other than
               this Deed of Trust and any other liens or encumbrances permitted
               by Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust.

                  (iv)   If such proceeds shall be insufficient to restore or
               rebuild the Improvements, Trustor shall have deposited with
               Beneficiary funds which, together with such insurance proceeds,
               shall be sufficient to complete the reconstruction of the
               Improvements.

                  (v)    Trustor has delivered to Beneficiary the plans and
               specifications and a construction contract for the work of
               reconstruction in form and content acceptable to Beneficiary with
               an architect and a contractor acceptable to Beneficiary.

                  (vi)   If Trustor shall fail within a reasonable time, subject
               to delays beyond its control, to complete reconstruction of the
               Improvements, then Beneficiary, at its option, may complete such
               reconstruction for or on behalf of Trustor, and for such purpose
               Beneficiary may do all necessary acts.

                  (vii)  Such damage or destruction has not resulted in an
               impairment of the security interest created by this Deed of Trust
               that will continue after the completion of reconstruction or, if
               there is such an impairment of the security interest created
               hereunder, said insurance proceeds shall be applied towards the
               Obligations and any other sums secured hereby to the extent of
               the impairment of the security interest created hereunder.

                  (viii) If the insurance proceeds are held by Beneficiary to be
               used to reimburse Trustor for the cost of reconstruction of the
               said real estate, then (1) the said real estate shall be promptly
               and diligently restored by Trustor to the equivalent of its
               condition immediately prior to the casualty in accordance with
               the original plans and specifications or to such other condition
               as Beneficiary may approve in writing, (2) disbursements of such

               proceeds actually received by Beneficiary and not required to
               reconstruct the said real estate or satisfy the conditions set
               forth in subparagraphs (i) through (viii) of this subsection
               shall be applied towards the Obligations secured hereby.
               Beneficiary may commingle any such award or settlement held by it
               with its other general funds. Beneficiary shall not be obligated
               to pay interest in respect of any such award or settlement held
               by it nor shall Trustor be entitled to a credit against any of
               the Obligations, except and to the extent the award or settlement
               are applied thereto pursuant to this subsection. Without
               limitation of the foregoing, Beneficiary shall have the right at
               all times to apply such insurance proceeds to the cure of any
               Event of Default or the performance of any obligations of Trustor
               under the Loan Documents.

                  (ix) If the insurance proceeds are applied to the payment of
               the Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, any such
               application shall be in such order as set forth in Section
                                                                  -------
               6.1(ii) of the Security Agreement and shall constitute a
               -------
               voluntary prepayment subject to any prepayment premiums or fees
               provided in any of the other Loan Documents. Beneficiary may
               apply such insurance proceeds to such prepayment premiums or
               fees. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Trustor
               from repairing or maintaining the said real estate as provided
               herein or restoring all damage or destruction to the said real
               estate, regardless of whether or not there are insurance proceeds
               available to Trustor or whether any such proceeds are sufficient
               in amount, and the application or release by Beneficiary of any
               insurance proceeds shall not cure or waive any default or notice
               of default under this Deed of Trust or invalidate any act done
               pursuant to such notice.

               (g) Copies of Notices. Trustor hereby requests that a copy of any
          notice of default and any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to it at
          the address set forth on the first page of this Deed of Trust.

               (h) CCP Section 736. Beneficiary shall have all of the rights,
          privileges and remedies of a secured lender under California Code of
          Civil Procedure Section 736.

                                       -44-

               (i) Attorneys' Fees. If any Event of Default occurs, Trustor
          shall pay all costs of enforcement and collection, including but not
          limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, whether or not such
          enforcement and collection includes the filing of a lawsuit. As used
          in this Deed of Trust and in the other Loan Documents, the term
          "attorneys' fees" or "attorneys' fees and costs" shall mean the fees
          and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may include
          printing, photostating, duplicating and other expenses, air freight
          charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals, librarians and
          others not admitted to the bar but performing services under the
          supervision of an attorney. The terms "attorneys' fees" or "attorneys'
          fees and costs" shall also include, without limitation, all such fees
          and expenses incurred with respect to appeals, arbitrations,
          bankruptcy proceedings and any post-judgment proceedings to collect
          any judgment, and whether or not any action or proceeding is brought
          with respect to the matter for which said fees and expenses were
          incurred. The provisions allowing for the recovery of post-judgment
          fees, costs and expenses are separate and several and shall survive
          the merger of the applicable Loan Document into any judgment.

               (j) This Deed of Trust is both a real property lien and also a
          "security agreement" and a "financing statement" within the meaning of
          the California Uniform Commercial Code. The Collateral includes both
          real and personal property and all of Trustor's other right, title and
          interest, whether tangible or intangible, in the Collateral. By
          executing and delivering this Deed of Trust, Trustor grants to Trustee
          for the benefit of Beneficiary, as security for the obligations
          secured hereby, a security interest in the Collateral to the full
          extent that any of the Collateral may be subject to the California
          Uniform Commercial Code. Notwithstanding the grant of such security
          interest to Trustee, the beneficial owner and holder of such security
          interest is Beneficiary, Beneficiary will be deemed the "secured
          party" with respect to such security interest for all purposes of the
          California Uniform Commercial Code and will be so identified on all
          financing statements filed in connection therewith, and Beneficiary
          shall be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of Default to
          exercise all the remedies of a secured party under the California
          Uniform Commercial Code as well as all other rights and remedies
          available at law or in equity.

extent permitted by law) of the ground adjacent thereto, and every other act
necessary or appropriate for the preservation and safety of the Property by
reason of or in connection with any excavation or other building operation upon

by any Legal Requirement, be required to take such action or be liable for
failure to do so.

     SECTION 1.12. Alterations, Additions, etc. So long as no Event of Default

become subject to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust without
further action on the part of the Grantor or the Beneficiary. The Grantor, at
its expense, will execute and deliver to (and will record and file as provided
in Section 1.4) an instrument supplemental to this Deed of Trust satisfactory in

     SECTION 1.14. Assignment of Leases, Rents, Proceeds, etc.
                   -------------------------------------------

          (a)  As part of the consideration for the Secured Obligations, and not
     as additional security therefor, Grantor hereby absolutely assigns and
     transfers to Beneficiary all the right, title and interest of Grantor in
     and to (i) all leases, licenses, occupancy agreements, concessions and
     other arrangements, oral or written, now existing or hereafter entered
     into, whereby any Person agrees to pay money or any other consideration for
     the use, possession or occupancy of, or any estate in, the Property or any
     portion thereof or interest therein, and all proceeds thereof (herein
     collectively referred to as the "Leases"), (ii) all rents, issues, profits,
                                      ------
     royalties, avails, income and other benefits derived or owned, directly or
     indirectly, by the Grantor from the Property, including, without
     limitation, all rents and other consideration payable by tenants, claims
     against guarantors, and any cash or other securities deposited to secure
     performance by tenants, under the Leases, and all proceeds thereof (herein
     collectively referred to as "Rents") and (iii) all Proceeds. In addition,
                                  -----
     Grantor hereby gives to and confers upon Beneficiary the right, power and
     authority to exercise all of Grantor's options, rights and remedies under
     the Leases and collect the Rents and Proceeds. Grantor hereby irrevocably
     appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
     interest, at the option of Beneficiary, at any time and from time to time,
     to demand, receive and enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and
     satisfactions, to exercise all of Grantor's options, rights and remedies
     under the Leases and to sue, in the name of Grantor or Beneficiary, for all
     Rents and Proceeds, and apply the same to the Obligations secured hereby;
     provided, however, that Grantor shall have a license to collect such Rents
     and Proceeds as provided in Section 1.14(c) below. The assignment of the
                                 ---------------
     Leases, Rents and Proceeds contained herein is intended to be an absolute
     assignment from Grantor to Beneficiary and not merely the passing of a
     security interest and shall be effective immediately upon the recording of
     this Deed of Trust. Grantor hereby waives any requirement that a receiver
     be appointed for the Collateral or that Beneficiary take possession of the
     Collateral in order for such assignment of the Leases, Rents and Proceeds
     to become effective. Nothing herein shall be construed as obligating
     Beneficiary to perform any

                                       -13-

<PAGE>

     of Grantor's obligations under any of the Leases or other agreements
     relating to the Collateral.

          (b) Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the acceptance by Beneficiary
     of the assignments of the Leases, Rents and Proceeds with all of the
     rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not, prior to
     entry upon and taking of possession of the Property by Beneficiary, be
     deemed or construed to constitute a mortgagee in possession nor thereafter
     or at any time or in any event obligate Beneficiary to appear in or defend
     any action or proceeding relating to the Leases or to the Property, or to
     take any action hereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or
     perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or
     other agreements relating to the Collateral, or to assume any obligation or
     responsibility for any security deposits or other deposits delivered to
     Grantor by lessees thereunder and not assigned and delivered to
     Beneficiary, nor shall Beneficiary be liable in any way for any injury or
     damage to person or property sustained by any person or persons, firm or
     corporation, in or about the Property.

          (c) Notwithstanding the absolute, present and irrevocable assignment,
     grant and conveyance by Grantor to Beneficiary of the Leases, Rents and
     Proceeds contained in this Deed of Trust, except as is otherwise provided
     in this Deed of Trust, a license and permission is hereby given to the
     Grantor, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
     hereunder, to collect, receive and apply such Rents, Proceeds and other
     rents, income, proceeds and benefits as they become due and payable, but
     not in advance thereof, and in accordance with all of the other terms,
     conditions and provisions hereof and of the Leases, contracts, agreements
     and other instruments with respect to which such payments are made or such
     other benefits are conferred. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
     Default,(i) such license and permission shall terminate immediately and
     automatically, without notice to the Grantor or any other Person, and shall
     not be reinstated upon a cure of such Event of Default without the express
     written consent of the Beneficiary and (ii) Beneficiary shall immediately
     be entitled to exercise all rights under the Leases and to the possession
     of all Rents and Proceeds, and to collect, receive and apply all Rents,
     Proceeds and all other rents, income, proceeds and benefits from the
     Collateral, including all right, title and interest of the Grantor in

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

     any escrowed sums or deposits or any portion thereof or interest therein,
     whether or not the Beneficiary takes possession of the Collateral or any
     part thereof. Furthermore, at the Beneficiary's option, upon the occurrence
     of an Event of Default hereunder, Beneficiary may:

               (i)   enter upon and take possession of the Property for the
          purpose of collecting Rents, Proceeds and said rents, income, proceeds
          and other benefits;

               (ii)  dispossess by the customary summary proceedings any tenant,
          purchaser or other Person defaulting in the payment of any amount when
          and as due and payable, or in the performance of any other obligation,
          under the Lease, contract or other instrument to which said Rents,
          Proceeds or other rents, income, proceeds or benefits relate;

               (iii) let or convey the Collateral or any portion thereof or any
          interest therein; and

               (iv)  apply Rents, Proceeds and such rents, income, proceeds and
          other benefits, after the payment of all necessary fees, charges and
          expenses, on account of the Obligations in accordance with Section
                                                                     -------
          3.10.
          ----

          (d)  Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Beneficiary harmless
     of and from any and all liability, loss, damage or expense that it may or
     might incur under or by reason of the assignments contained herein, or for
     any action taken by Beneficiary hereunder, or by reason or in defense of
     any and all claims and demands whatsoever that may be asserted against
     Beneficiary arising out of the Leases, including without limitation any
     claim by any lessees of credit for rental paid to and received by Grantor,
     but not delivered to Beneficiary, for any period under the Leases more than
     one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof. Should Beneficiary incur
     any such liability, loss, damage or expense, the amount thereof (including
     reasonable attorneys' fees) with interest thereon at the Default Rate shall
     be payable by Grantor immediately without demand, shall be secured by this
     Deed of Trust, and shall be part of the Obligations.

     SECTION 1.15. No Claims Against the Beneficiary. Nothing contained in this
                   ---------------------------------
Deed of Trust shall constitute any consent or

request by the Beneficiary, express or implied, for the performance of any labor
or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property
or any part thereof, or be construed to permit the making of any claim against
the Beneficiary in respect of labor or services or the furnishing of any
materials or other property or any claim that any lien based on the performance
of such labor or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior
to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust. All contractors,
                                                         ----------------
subcontractors, vendors and other persons dealing with the Property, or with any
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
persons interested therein, are hereby required to take notice of the provisions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of this Section. If any mechanics' lien is recorded against the Property,
---------------
Grantor shall post bond, as provided by the law of the State, or cause the
discharge of such lien within thirty (30) days after such lien is recorded.

     SECTION 1.16. Indemnification Against Obligations. The Grantor will
                   -----------------------------------
protect, indemnify, save harmless and defend the Beneficiary, each commercial
banking institution (a "Participant") which pursuant to a participation
                        -----------
agreement has purchased a participation in any portion of the Loans or the
Commitment, or both, and each Lender (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"

violation or claim of violation by the Grantor of any Environmental Laws, or
(iv) the imposition of any lien for damages caused by or the recovery of any

any action or proceeding be commenced, to which action or proceeding any
Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of the execution of this Deed of
Trust or the Notes, or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the
lien of this Deed of Trust, all sums paid by the Indemnified Parties, for the
expense of any litigation to prosecute or defend the rights and lien created
hereby, shall be paid by the Grantor to such Indemnified Parties, as the case
may be, as hereinafter provided. The Grantor will pay and save the Indemnified
Parties harmless against any and all liability with respect to any intangible
personal property tax or similar imposition of the State or any subdivision or
authority thereof now or hereafter in effect, to the extent that the same may be
payable by the Indemnified Parties in respect of this Deed of Trust or any
Secured Obligation. All amounts payable to the Indemnified Parties under this
Section 1.16 shall be deemed indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and any
------------
such amounts which are not paid within 10 days after written demand therefor by
any Indemnified Party shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of
such demand. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any
Indemnified Party by reason of any such occurrence, the Grantor, upon request of
such Indemnified Party, will, at the Grantor's expense, resist and defend such
action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted or defended by
counsel designated by the Grantor and approved by such Indemnified Party. The
obligations of the Grantor under this Section 1.16 shall survive any discharge

or reconveyance of this Deed of Trust or payment in full of the Secured
Obligations.

any of the

                                      -17-

same from, any Person other than the Beneficiary. Neither the Grantor nor any
Person acting on behalf of the Grantor has taken or will take any action which
would subject the issuance of the Notes to the provisions of section 5 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

which might result therefrom, as the case may be. The Beneficiary shall be
entitled to all insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage or
destruction and to all awards or payments allocable to the Collateral on account
of such Taking, and the Grantor hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and sets
over to the Beneficiary all rights of the Grantor to any such proceeds, awards
or payments and irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Beneficiary, at its
option, in the name of the Grantor or otherwise, to file and prosecute what
would otherwise be the Grantor's claim for any such proceeds, award or payment
and to collect, receipt for and retain the same for disposition in accordance
with Section 2.3. The Grantor will pay all reasonable costs and expenses

incurred by the Beneficiary in connection with any such damage, destruction or
Taking and seeking and obtaining any insurance proceeds, awards or payments in
respect thereof.

     regard to whether any portion or all of such amounts shall be matured or
     unmatured, together with interest at the Default Rate on any overdue
     principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest; and, in
     case such amount shall be insufficient to pay in full all such amounts,
     then such amount shall be applied, first, to the payment of all amounts of
                                        -----
     interest (including Post-Petition Interest to the extent such interest is
     an Obligation) accrued on the Secured Obligations and unpaid, second, to

     the payment of all amounts of principal at the time outstanding;

          (d) to fulfill any of the other covenants contained herein as the
     Beneficiary may determine;

          (e) to the Grantor for application to the cost of restoring the
     Collateral and the replacement of Goods destroyed, damaged or taken; or

          (f) to the Grantor.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3 to the
                                                      -----------
contrary, and if each of the following conditions is satisfied, the Beneficiary,
upon request of the Grantor, shall apply insurance proceeds or condemnation
awards received by it to the restoration or replacement of the Collateral, to
the extent necessary for the restoration or replacement thereof:

               (i)   there shall then exist no uncured material Default;

               (ii)  the Grantor shall furnish to the Beneficiary a certificate
          of an architect or engineer reasonably acceptable to the Beneficiary
          stating (x) that the Collateral is capable of being restored, prior to
          the maturity of the Loans, to substantially the same condition as
          existed prior to the casualty or Taking, (y) the aggregate estimated
          direct and indirect costs of such restoration and (z) as to any
          Taking, that the property taken in such Taking, or sold under threat
          thereof, is not necessary to the Grantor's customary use or occupancy
          of the Property; and

               (iii) in the event that the estimated cost of restoration set
          forth in the certificate of such architect or engineer (and such
          revisions to such estimate as are from time to time made) exceeds the

          net insurance proceeds or condemnation awards actually received from
          time to time, the Grantor shall deposit the amount of such excess with
          the Beneficiary.

     In the event that such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are to be
utilized in the restoration of the Collateral, the Beneficiary shall disburse
such Proceeds and the additional amounts deposited by the Grantor for such
restoration after receipt of a written request for disbursement, on not less
than five nor more than twelve Business Days' notice and, to the extent
applicable, in accordance with customary construction loan procedures and
conditions. In the event that such insurance or condemnation awards are to be
utilized to replace the Collateral so destroyed or taken, the Beneficiary shall
disburse such Proceeds after receipt of a written request for disbursement, on
not less than five nor more than twelve Business Days' notice simultaneously
with the acquisition of such replacement property by the Grantor. In the event
that, after the restoration or replacement of the Collateral, any insurance or
condemnation awards shall remain, such amount shall be paid to the Grantor.
Insurance proceeds and condemnation awards shall be invested in the manner
reasonably requested by the Grantor and approved by the Beneficiary, and all
interest earned thereon shall be applied as provided in this Section 2.3. If,
                                                             -----------
prior to the receipt by the Beneficiary of such insurance proceeds or
condemnation awards, the Collateral shall have been sold on foreclosure, the
Beneficiary shall have the right to receive said insurance proceeds or
condemnation awards to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such
sale, with legal interest thereon, whether or not a deficiency judgment shall
have been sought or recovered or denied, and the reasonable attorneys' fees,
costs and disbursements incurred by the Beneficiary in connection with the
collection of such award or payment.

     SECTION 2.4. Total Taking and Total Destruction. In the event of a Total
                  ----------------------------------
Destruction or a Total Taking, the Beneficiary shall apply all amounts recovered
under any insurance policy referred to in Section 2.1.1 and all awards received
                                          -------------

     Obligations;

          (c) third, Ratably, to the payment of the principal of the Secured
     Obligations and any interest (including Post-Petition Interest to the
     extent such interest is an Obligation) accrued and unpaid thereon, without
     regard to whether any portion or all of such amounts shall be matured or
     unmatured, together with interest at the Default Rate on any overdue
     principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest; and, in
     case such amount shall be insufficient to pay in full all such amounts,

          (e) if subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust the law of the
     State shall be changed by statutory enactment, judicial decision,

Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

to foreclose the lien of this Deed of Trust as against all or any part of the
Collateral and to have the same sold under the judgment or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction. The Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover in such
proceedings all costs incident thereto, including attorneys' fees and expenses
in such amounts as may be fixed by the court.

     SECTION 3.3. Power of Sale. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
                  -------------
be continuing, the Beneficiary is authorized and empowered, without further
notice, to file with the Trustee, a notice of election and demand for sale, in
writing, as provided by the law of the State. After such filing, the Trustee may
lawfully foreclose and shall foreclose the lien of this Deed of Trust, and sell
and dispose of the Property en masse or in separate parcels (as the Beneficiary
may elect) and all the right, title, and interest of the Grantor therein, at a
public auction at any place then authorized by the law of the State as may be
specified in the notice of such sale, for the highest and best price (the
"Trustee's Sale"), four (4) weeks' public notice having previously been given of
the time and place of such sale by advertisement, weekly, in a newspaper of
general circulation at the time published in the County where the Property is
located, or upon such other notice as may then be required by the law of the
State. The Trustee shall issue, execute, and deliver a certificate of purchase,
a trustee's deed (which may be in the ordinary form of conveyance), or a
certificate of redemption in the manner provided by the law of the State to the
party entitled thereto. The Trustee shall apply the proceeds or avails of the
Trustee's Sale as required by the law of the State. The Beneficiary may purchase
all or any part of the Property at the Trustee's Sale. Any purchaser at the
Trustee's Sale shall not be responsible for the application of the purchase
money. In the event of any express conflict between the provisions of this Deed
of Trust and the provisions of Colorado Revised Statutes, the provisions of
Colorado Revised Statutes shall apply. If this Deed of Trust is foreclosed by
Trustee, Trustee shall allow a reasonable amount of attorneys; fees for services
rendered in the supervision of such foreclosure proceedings as a part of the
cost of the foreclosure.

     SECTION 3.4. Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. If an Event of Default shall
                  --------------------------------
have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary may exercise from time to time
and at any time any rights and remedies available to it under applicable law
upon default in the payment of indebtedness, including, without limitation, any
right or remedy available to it as a secured

                                      -26-

party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State. The Grantor shall,
promptly upon request by the Beneficiary, assemble the Collateral, or any
portion thereof generally described in such request, and make them available to
the Beneficiary at such place or places designated by the Beneficiary and
reasonably convenient to the Beneficiary and the Grantor. If the Beneficiary
elects to proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State to dispose of
portions of the Collateral, the Beneficiary, at its option, may give the Grantor
notice of the time and place of any public sale of any such property, or of the
date after which any private sale or other disposition thereof is to be made, by
sending notice by registered or certified first class mail, postage prepaid, to
the Grantor at least ten days before the time of the sale or other disposition.
If any notice of any proposed sale, assignment or transfer by the Beneficiary of
any portion of the Collateral or any interest therein is required by law, the
Grantor conclusively agrees that ten days' notice to the Grantor of the date,
time and place (and, in the case of a private sale, the terms) thereof is
reasonable.

                  --------------------------------------------
irrevocably appoints the Beneficiary the true and lawful attorney of the
Grantor, in its name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of
effectuating, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for the enforcement hereof,
whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, to execute and
deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, releases and other
instruments as may be designated in any such request.

     SECTION 3.6. Purchase of Collateral by Beneficiary. The Beneficiary may be
                  -------------------------------------
a purchaser of the Collateral or of any part thereof or of any interest therein
at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or
otherwise, and the Beneficiary may apply upon the purchase price thereof the
indebtedness secured hereby. Such purchaser shall, upon any such purchase,
acquire good title to the properties so purchased, free of the security interest
and lien of this Deed of Trust and free of all rights of redemption in the
Grantor.

     SECTION 3.7. Receipt a Sufficient Discharge to Purchaser. Upon any sale of
                  -------------------------------------------
the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether pursuant to
power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, the receipt of the Beneficiary or the
officer making the sale under judicial proceedings shall be a sufficient
discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and such

                                      -27-

<PAGE>

purchaser shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.

     SECTION 3.8.  Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, etc. The Grantor hereby
                   --------------------------------------
waives, to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all
appraisement, valuation, stay, extension and redemption laws now or hereafter in
force and all rights of marshaling in the event of any sale of the Collateral or
any part thereof or any interest therein.

     SECTION 3.9.  Sale a Bar Against Grantor. Any sale of the Collateral or any
                   --------------------------
part thereof or any interest therein under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust,
whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, shall forever be a
bar against the Grantor.

     SECTION 3.10. Application of Proceeds of Sale and Other Moneys. The
                   ------------------------------------------------
proceeds of any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest

otherwise, and the Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver
and will not oppose any such appointment and agrees that all expenses of such
receivership shall be borne by the Grantor and shall be an Obligation secured by
this Deed of Trust.

     SECTION 3.12. Possession, Management and Income. If an Event of Default
                   ---------------------------------

principal amount of the Secured Obligations shall have become due and payable by
reason of the declaration of the Beneficiary or the Lenders or the maturity of

at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and
concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy
provided for in this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents, or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Beneficiary of any one or more of
the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Deed of Trust, or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Beneficiary of any or all

shall constitute a waiver of any such term or of any such breach. No waiver of
any breach shall affect or alter this Deed of Trust, which shall continue in
full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
breach. By accepting payment or performance of any of the Obligations before or
after its due date, the Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have waived its right

Obligations payable hereunder or to declare a default for failure to effect such
prompt payment or performance.

secures obligations (the "Other Obligations") of other obligors other than

Grantor (the "Other Parties") in favor of Beneficiary, Grantor has executed and
              -------------
delivered this Deed of Trust as an accommodation instrument with the intent of
subjecting its interests in the Collateral to the lien of this Deed of Trust as
security for the Other Obligations and in order to induce Beneficiary to enter
into the Loan Documents. Grantor hereby agrees, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, not to assert or take advantage of:

          (a) Any right to require Beneficiary to proceed against the Other
     Parties or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any other
     security held by Beneficiary at any time or to pursue any other remedy in
     Beneficiary's power before exercising any right or remedy under this Deed
     of Trust.

          (b) Any defense that may arise by reason of:

                                      -37-

<PAGE>

               (i)   Beneficiary's failure to proceed against the Other Parties'
          property, or any other party against whom Beneficiary might assert a
          claim, before proceeding against Grantor under this Deed of Trust; or

               (ii)  The release, suspension, discharge or impairment of any of
          Beneficiary's rights against the Other Parties or any other party
          against whom Beneficiary might assert a claim, whether such release,
          suspension, discharge or impairment is explicit, tacit or inadvertent;
          or

               (iii) Beneficiary's failure to pursue any other remedies
          available to Beneficiary that would reduce the burden of the
          indebtedness secured hereby on Grantor's interests in the Collateral;
          or

               (iv)  Any extension of the time for the payment or performance of
          any of the Other Obligations or this Deed of Trust; or

               (v)   Any amendment of this Deed of Trust or the Other
          Obligations, whether or not such amendment materially affects the risk
          that Grantor has assumed by executing this Deed of Trust; or

               (vi)  The incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of
          the Other Parties or any other person or persons; or

               (vii) The failure of Beneficiary to file or enforce a claim
          against the estate (in either administration, bankruptcy or any other
          proceedings) of the Other Parties or any other person or persons.

          (c) Demand, protest and notice of any kind, including, without
     limitation, the following notices:

               (i)   Notice of the evidence, creation or incurring of any new or
          additional indebtedness or obligation (provided that such indebtedness
          or obligation is not secured by this Deed of Trust); or

               (ii)  Notice of any action or non-action on the part of the Other
          Parties or Beneficiary in connection with any obligation or evidence
          of indebtedness held by Beneficiary as collateral; or

                                      -38-

<PAGE>

               (iii) Notice of payment or non-payment by the Other Parties of
          the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust.

          (d)  Any right to assert against the Beneficiary any defense arising
     by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the
     Beneficiary to foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of
     the power of sale, under any other deed of trust securing the Other
     Obligations, which in any manner impairs, reduces, releases, destroys or
     extinguishes Grantor's subrogation rights, rights to proceed against the
     Other Parties for reimbursement, or any other rights of Grantor to proceed
     against any other person or security. Grantor waives all rights and
     defenses to enforcement of all or any part of the indebtedness secured
     hereby which defenses are based on an election of remedies by Beneficiary,
     even though the election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with
     respect to any such other deed of trust, may destroy Grantor's rights of
     subrogation and reimbursement against the Other Parties. This means, among
     other things:

               (i)   The Beneficiary may collect from the Grantor without first
          foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the
          Other Parties.

               (ii)  If the Beneficiary forecloses on any real property
          collateral pledged by the Other Parties:

                         (1) The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the
price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the
collateral is worth more than the sale price.

                         (2) The Beneficiary may collect from the Grantor even
if the Beneficiary, by foreclosing on the other real property collateral, has
destroyed any right the Grantor may have to collect from the Other Parties.

          This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and
defenses the Grantor may have because the debtor's debt is secured by real
property.

          (e) Any rights arising because of Grantor's payment or satisfaction of
     the indebtedness secured hereby (i) against the Other Parties, by way of
     subrogation to the rights of Beneficiary or otherwise, or (ii) against any

                                       -39-

<PAGE>

     other guarantor or any Other Party obligated to pay any of the indebtedness
     secured hereby, by way of contribution or reimbursement or otherwise.

          (f) Any duty on the part of Beneficiary to disclose to Grantor any
     default under the Other Obligations.

          (g) Any duty on the part of Beneficiary to disclose to Grantor any
     facts Beneficiary may now know or may hereafter know about the Other
     Parties or any successors in interest (if any) regardless of whether
     Beneficiary (i) has reason to believe that any such facts materially
     increase the risk beyond the risk which Grantor intends to assume by
     executing this Deed of Trust, (ii) has reason to believe that these facts
     are unknown to Grantor, or (iii) has a reasonable opportunity to
     communicate such facts to Grantor, it being understood and agreed that
     Grantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the
     financial condition of the Other Parties or any successor in interest of
     the Other Parties and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of
     nonpayment of any indebtedness of the Other Parties to Beneficiary that is
     secured hereby.

          (h) Any right to object to the release of any portions of the
     Collateral from the lien of this Deed of Trust notwithstanding the fact
     that such releases may be made without Beneficiary's having received any or
     adequate consideration therefor.

          Grantor further agrees that with respect to any Secured Obligation
secured hereby Beneficiary may, in such manner and upon such terms and at such
times as Beneficiary deems best and without demand or notice to or consent of
Grantor (i) release any party now or hereafter liable for the performance of any
such Secured Obligation, (ii) extend the time for the performance of any such
Secured Obligation, (iii) accept additional security therefor, and (iv) alter,
substitute or release any property securing such performance.

          Before executing this Deed of Trust, Grantor has made such independent
legal and factual inquiries and investigations as Grantor deemed necessary or
desirable with respect to the ability of the Other Parties to honor all of the
Other Parties' covenants and agreements with Beneficiary, and Grantor has relied
solely on said independent inquiries and investigations preparatory to entering
into this Deed of Trust.

                                      -40-
