the right, subject to applicable law, to collect all sums payable to Mortgagor thereunder and apply the same after payment of any costs and expenses arising under Section 12.6 of this Mortgage in accordance with Section 9.3(iii) of this Mortgage, which is not conditioned upon Mortgagee being in possession of the Premises. The Mortgagee hereby grants to the Mortgagor, however, a license to collect, receive, use, retain and apply the Rents and to enforce the obligations of Tenants under the Leases. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the license granted in the immediately preceding sentence shall cease and terminate, provided however that if the Event of Default is cured by Mortgagor or waived in writing by Mortgagee, the license granted to Mortgagor will thereupon be reinstated.

(ii) Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has taken all reasonable actions necessary to obtain, and that upon recordation of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases subject to the Permitted Collateral Liens and in the case of security deposits, rights of depositors and requirements of law. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Mortgage, Mortgagee’s interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected, “choate” and enforced as to Mortgagor and all third parties, including, without limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Mortgage, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action.

(iii) Without limitation of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree that (a) this Mortgage shall constitute a “security agreement” for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this Mortgage extends to property of Mortgagor acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents, and (c) such security interest shall extend to all rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.

SECTION 5.2. Collection of Rents by the Mortgagee.

(i) Any Rents received by the Mortgagee hereunder, after payment of all proper costs and expenses arising under Section 12.4 of this Mortgage, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3(iii) of this Mortgage. The Mortgagee shall be accountable to the Mortgagor only for Rents actually received by the Mortgagee. The collection of such Rents and the application thereof shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or waive, modify or affect notice of Event of Default or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice.

(ii) The Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs the tenant under each Lease, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to rely upon and comply with any and all notices or demands from the Mortgagee for payment of

-20-

Rents to the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor shall have no claim against such tenant for Rents paid by such tenant to the Mortgagee pursuant to such notice or demand.

SECTION 5.3. No Release. Neither this Mortgage nor any action or inaction on the part of the Mortgagee shall release any tenant under any Lease, any guarantor of any Lease or the Mortgagor from any of their respective obligations under such Leases or constitute an assumption of any such obligation on the part of the Mortgagee. No action or failure to act on the part of the Mortgagor shall adversely affect or limit the rights of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage or, through this Mortgage, under such Leases. Nothing contained herein shall operate or be construed to (i) obligate the Mortgagee to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in any Lease or otherwise to impose any obligation upon the Mortgagee with respect to such Lease (including, without limitation, any obligation arising out of any covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in such Lease in the event that the tenant under such Lease shall have been joined as a party defendant in any action by which the estate of such tenant shall be terminated) or (ii) place upon the Mortgagee any responsibility for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Premises, except for any liability arising solely out of its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 5.4. Irrevocable Interest. All rights, powers and privileges of the Mortgagee herein set forth are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

SECTION 5.5. Amendment to Leases. Each Lease, including, without limitation, all amendments, modifications, supplements, replacements, extensions and renewals thereof, shall continue to be subject to the provisions hereof without the necessity of any further act by any of the parties hereto.

SECTION 6.4. Proceeds of Tax Claim. In the event that the proceeds of any tax claim are paid after the Mortgagee has exercised its right to foreclose the Lien hereof, such proceeds shall be paid to the Mortgagee to satisfy any deficiency remaining after such foreclosure.

(i) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee may institute an action to foreclose this Mortgage or take such other action as may be permitted and available to the Mortgagee at law or in equity for the enforcement of the Indenture and realization on the Mortgaged Property and proceeds thereon through power of sale (if then available under applicable law) or to final judgment and execution thereof for the Secured Obligations, and in furtherance thereof the Mortgagee may sell the Mortgaged Property at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law or statute or in equity. The Mortgagee may execute and deliver to the purchaser at

-24-

such sale a conveyance of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple and an assignment or conveyance of all the Mortgagor’s Interest in the Leases and the Mortgaged Property, each of which conveyances and assignments shall contain recitals as to the Event of Default upon which the execution of the power of sale herein granted depends, and effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints the Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor to make any such recitals, sale, assignment and conveyance, and all of the acts of the Mortgagee as such attorney in fact are hereby ratified and confirmed.

So long as the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, remain unpaid, the Mortgagor agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default possession of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor, or any person claiming under the Mortgagor, shall be as tenant, and, in case of a sale under power or upon foreclosure as provided in this Mortgage, the Mortgagor and any person in possession under the Mortgagor, as to whose interest such sale was not made subject, shall, at the option of the purchaser at such sale, then become and be tenants holding over, and shall forthwith deliver possession to such purchaser, or be summarily dispossessed in accordance with the laws applicable to tenants holding over. In case of any sale under this Mortgage by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Mortgaged Property may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels in such manner or order as the Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect. One or more exercises of powers herein granted shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers, until the entire Mortgaged Property is sold or all amounts secured hereby are paid in full.

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

(iii) The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article IX, together with any other sums which then may be held by the Mortgagee under this Mortgage, whether under the provisions of this Article IX or otherwise, shall be applied in the following order, except as may be otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture: first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent

-25-

in connection therewith, and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder (in its capacity as the Collateral Agent) and all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Indenture, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties; and third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of the Mortgagor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

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

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

(vi) If the Premises is comprised of more than one parcel of land, the Mortgagee may take any of the actions authorized by this Section 9.3 in respect of any or a number of individual parcels.

(vii) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim through or under Mortgagor, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives (a) any and all rights to have the Mortgaged Property and estates comprising the Mortgaged Property marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien of this Mortgage, and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the Mortgaged Property sold in its entirety, and (b) all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment.

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

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

(iii) Any monies collected by the Mortgagee under this Section 9.4 shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3(iii).

SECTION 9.5. Legal Proceedings After an Event of Default.

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

(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee shall be entitled forthwith as a matter of right, concurrently or independently of any other right or remedy hereunder either before or after declaring the Secured Obligations or any part thereof to be due and payable, to the appointment of a receiver without giving notice to any party and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations or the solvency or insolvency of any person or entity then legally or equitably liable for the Secured Obligations or any

-27-

portion thereof. The Mortgagor hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, the Mortgagee shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits or instruments at the time held by or payable or deliverable under the terms of the Security Documents.

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

SECTION 9.6. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee by this Mortgage is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Mortgage or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Any delay or omission of the Mortgagee to exercise any right or power accruing on any Event of Default shall not impair any such right or power and shall not be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in any such Event of Default. Every power and remedy given by this Mortgage may be exercised from time to time concurrently or independently, when and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee in such order and manner as the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect. If the Mortgagee accepts any monies required to be paid by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage after the same become due, such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of the right either to require prompt payment, when due, of all other sums secured by this Mortgage or to declare an Event of Default with regard to subsequent defaults. If the Mortgagee accepts any monies required to be paid by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage in an amount less than the

-28-

sum then due, such acceptance shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and on the condition that it shall not constitute a waiver of the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the entire sum then due, and the Mortgagor’s failure to pay the entire sum then due shall be and continue to be a default hereunder notwithstanding acceptance of such amount on account.

SECTION 9.7. Costs of Enforcement. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Mortgagee or any Secured Party under this Article IX shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date that such sum was advanced or expense incurred to and including the date of reimbursement, and such shall be Secured Obligations hereunder. Mortgagor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Mortgage and the other Security Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Secured Obligations or any claim under this Mortgage and the other Security Documents, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Mortgagee or the Secured Parties in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise.

ARTICLE X.

SECTION 11.1. Recording Documentation To Assure Security. The Mortgagor shall, forthwith after the execution and delivery hereof and thereafter, from time to time, cause this Mortgage and any financing statement, continuation statement or similar instrument relating to any thereof or to any property intended to be subject to the Lien hereof to be filed, registered and recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the validity and priority thereof (subject to Permitted Collateral Liens) or the Lien hereof purported to be created upon the Mortgaged Property and the interest and rights of the Mortgagee therein.

SECTION 11.2. Further Acts. The Mortgagor shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Mortgagor, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts,

deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers, financing statements, continuation statements, instruments and assurances as the Mortgagee shall from time to time request, which may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee from time to time to assure, perfect, convey, assign, mortgage, transfer and confirm unto the Mortgagee, the property and rights hereby conveyed or assigned or which the Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to the Mortgagee or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms hereof or the filing, registering or recording hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Mortgagee desires to exercise any remedies, consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Mortgage and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other person therefor, then, upon the request of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor agrees to reasonably assist and aid the Mortgagee to obtain as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers. In the event the Mortgagor shall fail after demand to execute any instrument or take any action required to be executed or taken by the Mortgagor under this Section 11.2, the Mortgagee, upon notice to Mortgagor, may execute or take the same as the attorney-in-fact for the Mortgagor, such power of attorney being coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

SECTION 11.3. Additional Security. Without notice to or consent of the Mortgagor and without impairment of the Lien and rights created by this Mortgage, the Mortgagee may accept (but the Mortgagor shall not be obligated to furnish) from the Mortgagor or from any other person, additional security for the Secured Obligations. Neither the giving hereof nor the acceptance of any such additional security shall prevent the Mortgagee from resorting, first, to such additional security, and, second, to the security created by this Mortgage without affecting the Mortgagee’s Lien and rights under this Mortgage.

ARTICLE XII.

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 12.1. Covenants To Run with the Land. All of the grants, covenants, terms, provisions and conditions in this Mortgage shall run with the Land and shall apply to, and bind the successors and assigns of, the Mortgagor. If there shall be more than one mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the covenants and warranties hereof shall be joint and several.

SECTION 12.2. Environmental Indemnity.

(i) All risk of loss associated with non-compliance with Environmental Laws at the Mortgaged Property, or with the presence of any Hazardous Material at, upon, within, contiguous to or otherwise affecting the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, shall be

-31-

solely with Mortgagor. Accordingly, Mortgagor shall bear all risks and costs associated with any loss (including any loss in value attributable to Hazardous Materials), damage or liability from such non-compliance or presence of any Hazardous Material, including all costs of removal of such Hazardous Material or other related remediation required by Environmental Laws. Mortgagor shall indemnify, defend and hold Collateral Agent harmless from and against all loss, liabilities, damages, claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Liabilities”), arising out of or associated, in any way, with:

	(A)		the non-compliance of the Mortgaged Property with Environmental Laws; or

	(B)		the existence or presence of Hazardous Materials in concentrations in excess of applicable standards under Environmental Laws in, on, or about the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof;

whether based in contract, tort, implied or express warranty, strict liability, criminal or civil statute or common law, including those Liabilities arising from the joint, concurrent or comparative negligence of Collateral Agent; however, Mortgagor shall not be liable under such indemnification to the extent such Liabilities result directly from Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Mortgagor’s obligations under this Section shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Material, whether or not any governmental authority has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Materials and whether or not the existence of any such Hazardous Material or potential liability on account thereof is disclosed in the Site Assessment and shall continue notwithstanding the repayment of the Notes or any transfer or sale of any right, title and interest in the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof (by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise), but shall not apply to any actions taken or events occurring after such transfer or sale or after Mortgagee or a receiver in any bankruptcy proceeding takes possession of the Mortgaged Property. For the avoidance of doubt, such liabilities shall survive any such transfer or sale or taking possession to the extent such liabilities arose, or are the result of circumstances or actions occurring, prior to such transfer, sale or taking possession.

SECTION 12.3. No Merger. The rights and estate created by this Mortgage shall not, under any circumstances, be held to have merged into any other estate or interest now owned or hereafter acquired by the Mortgagee unless the Mortgagee shall have consented to such merger in writing.

SECTION 12.4. Secured Obligations to Include Judgments; Other Collateral. The term “Secured Obligations” as defined in this Mortgage shall include, without limitation, any judgment(s) or final decree(s) rendered to collect any money obligations of Mortgagor to Mortgagee and/or any Secured Parties and/or to enforce the performance or collection of all

-32-

rights, remedies, obligations, covenants, agreements, conditions, indemnities, representations, warranties, and other liabilities of the Mortgagor under this Mortgage or any or all of the other Notes Documents. Furthermore, Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Obligations are secured by the Mortgaged Property and various other collateral at the time of execution of this Mortgage. Mortgagor specifically acknowledges and agrees that the Mortgaged Property, in and of itself, if foreclosed or realized upon would not be sufficient to satisfy the outstanding amount of the Secured Obligations. Accordingly, Mortgagor acknowledges that it is in Mortgagee’s contemplation that the other collateral pledged to secure the Secured Obligations may be pursued by Mortgagee in separate proceedings in the various states and counties where such collateral may be located and additionally that Mortgagor will remain liable for any deficiency judgments in addition to any amounts Mortgagee and/or the other Secured Parties may realize on sales of other property or any other collateral given as security for the Secured Obligations. Specifically, and without limitation of the foregoing, it is agreed that it is the intent of the parties hereto that in the event of a foreclosure of this Mortgage, that the Secured Obligations shall not be deemed merged into any judgment of foreclosure, but shall rather remain outstanding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 12.5. Concerning Mortgagee.

(i) The Mortgagee has been appointed as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Indenture.

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

(iii) With respect to any of its rights and obligations as a Secured Party, the Mortgagee shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder. The term “Secured Parties,” “Secured Party” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Mortgagee in its capacity as Collateral Agent and as a Secured Party. The Mortgagee may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Mortgagor or any Affiliate of the Mortgagor to the same extent as if the Mortgagee were not acting as Trustee and Collateral Agent.

(iv) If any portion of the Mortgaged Property also constitutes collateral granted to the Mortgagee under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, (x) if the conflict regards personal property covered by the

-33-

Security Agreement, the provisions of the Security Agreement shall control, and (y) in all other cases the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, shall select which provision or provisions shall control.

SECTION 12.6. Mortgagee May Perform; Mortgagee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If the Mortgagor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, the Mortgagor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay Charges, (iii) make repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform any obligations of the Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgaged Property), the Mortgagee may (but shall not be obligated to) (x) following the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (y) after delivery of notice to Mortgagor and (1) passage of any applicable grace periods hereunder or under the Indenture, or (2) the passage of such shorter period of time as reasonably necessary to prevent the Premises from being uninsured or reasonably necessary to prevent an imminent foreclosure, do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose, which shall bear interest at the Default Rate and be secured by this Mortgage; provided, however, that the Mortgagee shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, lien, imposition or other obligation which the Mortgagor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which the Mortgagor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of Article VII hereof. Any and all amounts so expended by the Mortgagee shall be paid by the Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions hereof. Neither the provisions of this Section 12.6 nor any action taken by the Mortgagee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.6 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Mortgage nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. The Mortgagor hereby appoints the Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Mortgagor and in the name of the Mortgagor, or otherwise, from time to time in the Mortgagee’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms hereof and the other Notes Documents which the Mortgagee may deem reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes hereof if Mortgagee reasonably believes the security afforded by this Mortgage may be impaired and if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. The Mortgagor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

SECTION 12.7. Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Mortgage shall create a continuing Lien on and security interest in the Mortgaged Property and shall (i) be binding upon the Mortgagor, its successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder, to the benefit of the Mortgagee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other persons (including, without limitation, any other creditor of the Co-Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), except to the extent, if any, prohibited under the Indenture, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Mortgage to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become

-34-

vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject, however, to the provisions of the Indenture.

SECTION 12.8. Termination; Release. When all the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full or all of the Mortgaged Property shall otherwise be released from the Lien of this Mortgage pursuant to the Indenture, the Lien of this Mortgage shall terminate. Upon termination of the Lien hereof or any release of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof (whether arising from a sale of the Mortgaged Property or otherwise), the Mortgagee shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Mortgagor, forthwith assign, transfer and deliver to the Mortgagor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Mortgagee, such of the Mortgaged Property to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Mortgagee and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Mortgaged Property, proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3 termination statements, releases or assignments of Mortgages) acknowledging the termination of the Lien hereof or the assignment or release of such Mortgaged Property, as the case may be. In the case of any such assignment, the terms of the same shall be without recourse to Mortgagee and without any representation or warranty (express, implied or otherwise) on behalf of Mortgagee, and Mortgagee shall not enter into or issue any other estoppels, agreements or other instruments in connection therewith. As a condition precedent to providing such assignment, Mortgagor shall pay all of Mortgagee’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).

SECTION 12.9. Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by the Mortgagor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be done in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and unless in writing and signed by the Mortgagee. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by the Mortgagor from the terms of any provision hereof shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Mortgage or any other Notes Document, no notice to or demand on the Mortgagor in any case shall entitle the Mortgagor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 12.11. GOVERNING LAW; SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR ITEM OR TYPE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE. MORTGAGOR AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE MORTGAGOR AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.10 HEREOF OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE MORTGAGEE SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED PURSUANT THERETO. IF ANY AGENT APPOINTED BY MORTGAGOR REFUSES TO ACCEPT SERVICE, MORTGAGOR HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE UPON IT BY MAIL SHALL CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT NOTICE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF MORTGAGEE TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST MORTGAGOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS MORTGAGE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 12.12. Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

-36-

SECTION 12.13. Limitation on Interest Payable. It is the intention of the parties to conform strictly to the usury laws, whether state or Federal, that are applicable to the transaction of which this Mortgage is a part. All agreements between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether oral or written, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid by the Mortgagor for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned under the Indenture or any other Notes Document, or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in the Indenture or any other Notes Document, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable Federal or state usury laws. If under any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any such provision, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity. If under any circumstances the Mortgagor shall have paid an amount deemed interest by applicable law, which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be excessive interest under applicable usury laws shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing in respect of the Secured Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal and any other amounts due hereunder, the excess shall be refunded to the Mortgagor. All sums paid or agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance or detention of the principal under any extension of credit by the Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and to the extent necessary to preclude exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the Effective Date until payment in full of the Secured Obligations so that the actual rate of interest on account of such principal amounts is uniform throughout the term hereof.

SECTION 12.14. Business Days. In the event any time period or any date provided in this Mortgage ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such other day.

SECTION 12.15. Relationship. The relationship of the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor hereunder is strictly and solely that of lender and borrower and mortgagor and mortgagee and nothing contained in the Indenture, this Mortgage, the other Notes Documents or any other document or instrument now existing or delivered in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the Secured Obligations is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any circumstance be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever between the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor other than as lender and borrower and mortgagor and mortgagee.

SECTION 12.16. Waiver of Stay.

(i) The Mortgagor agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, that in the event that the Mortgagor or any property or assets of the Mortgagor shall hereafter become

-37-

the subject of a voluntary or involuntary proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or the Mortgagor shall otherwise be a party to any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar proceeding to which the provisions relating to the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision in any such law is applicable, then, in any such case, whether or not the Mortgagee has commenced foreclosure proceedings under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to relief from any such automatic stay as it relates to the exercise of any of the rights and remedies (including, without limitation, any foreclosure proceedings) available to the Mortgagee as provided in this Mortgage or in any other Security Document.

(ii) The Mortgagee shall have the right to petition or move any court having jurisdiction over any proceeding described in Section 12.16(i) hereof for the purposes provided therein, and the Mortgagor agrees not to oppose any such petition or motion and at Mortgagor’s sole but reasonable cost and expense, to assist and cooperate with the Mortgagee, as may be reasonably requested by the Mortgagee from time to time, in obtaining any relief requested by the Mortgagee, including, without limitation, by filing any such petitions, supplemental petitions, requests for relief, documents, instruments or other items from time to time reasonably requested by the Mortgagee or any such court.

SECTION 12.17. No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Impositions. The Mortgagor shall not be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Indenture or any other Notes Document, and the Mortgagor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Charge on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

SECTION 12.18. No Claims Against the Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall constitute any consent or request by the Mortgagee, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving the Mortgagor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Mortgagee in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.

SECTION 12.19. Obligations Absolute. All obligations of the Mortgagor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

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

-38-

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

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

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

(v) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof or any other Notes Document except as specifically set forth in a waiver granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.9 hereof; or

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

SECTION 12.20. Mortgagee’s Right To Sever Indebtedness.

(i) The Mortgagor acknowledges that (A) the Mortgaged Property does not constitute the sole source of security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and that the Secured Obligations are also secured by other property of Mortgagor, and property of the Mortgagor’s Affiliates in other jurisdictions (all such property, collectively, the “Other Collateral”), (B) the number of such jurisdictions and the nature of the transaction of which this Mortgage is a part are such that it would have been impracticable for the parties to allocate to each item of Other Collateral a specific loan amount and to execute in respect of such item a separate credit agreement and (C) the Mortgagor intends that the Mortgagee have the same rights with respect to the Mortgaged Property, in foreclosure or otherwise, that the Mortgagee would have had if each item of Other Collateral had been secured, mortgaged or pledged pursuant to a separate credit agreement, mortgage or security instrument. In furtherance of such intent, the Mortgagor agrees that the Mortgagee may at any time by notice (an “Allocation Notice”) to the Mortgagor allocate a portion (the “Allocated Indebtedness”) of the Secured Obligations to the Mortgaged Property and sever from the remaining Secured Obligations the Allocated Indebtedness. From and after the giving of an Allocation Notice with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the Secured Obligations hereunder shall be limited to the extent set forth in the Allocation Notice and (as so limited) shall, for all purposes, be construed as a separate loan obligation of the Mortgagor unrelated to the other transactions contemplated by either the Indenture, any other Notes Document or any document related to any thereof. To the extent that the proceeds on any foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property shall exceed the Allocated Indebtedness, such proceeds shall belong to the Mortgagor and shall not be available hereunder to satisfy any Secured Obligations of the Mortgagor other than the Allocated

-39-

Indebtedness. In any action or proceeding to foreclose the Lien hereof or in connection with any power of sale, foreclosure or other remedy exercised under this Mortgage commenced after the giving by the Mortgagee of an Allocation Notice, the Allocation Notice shall be conclusive proof of the limits of the Secured Obligations hereby secured, and the Mortgagor may introduce, by way of defense or counterclaim, evidence thereof in any such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 12.20, the proceeds received by the Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage shall be applied by the Mortgagee in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3(iii) hereof.

(ii) The Mortgagor hereby waives to the greatest extent permitted under law the right to a discharge of any of the Secured Obligations under any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which provides that foreclosure of the Lien hereof or other remedy exercised under this Mortgage constitutes the exclusive means for satisfaction of the Secured Obligations or which makes unavailable a deficiency judgment or any subsequent remedy because the Mortgagee elected to proceed with a power of sale foreclosure or such other remedy or because of any failure by the Mortgagee to comply with laws that prescribe conditions to the entitlement to a deficiency judgment. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, any court shall for any reason hold that the Mortgagee is not entitled to a deficiency judgment, the Mortgagor shall not (A) introduce in any other jurisdiction such judgment as a defense to enforcement against the Mortgagor of any remedy in any Notes Document or (B) seek to have such judgment recognized or entered in any other jurisdiction, and any such judgment shall in all events be limited in application only to the state or jurisdiction where rendered.

(iii) In the event any instrument in addition to the Allocation Notice is necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 12.20, including, without limitation, any amendment to this Mortgage, any substitute promissory note or affidavit or certificate of any kind, the Mortgagee may execute, deliver or record such instrument as the attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor. Such power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 12.20 shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

SECTION 12.21. Multi-Site Real Estate Transaction. Mortgagor acknowledges that this Mortgage is one of a number of mortgages and other security documents (“Other Mortgages”) that secure the Secured Obligations. Mortgagor agrees that the lien of this Mortgage shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of Mortgagee, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by Mortgagee of any security for or guarantees of the Secured Obligations, or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Mortgagee to realize upon or protect any Secured Obligation or any collateral security therefor including the Other Mortgages. The lien of this Mortgage shall not in any manner be impaired or affected by any release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, changing, modification or disposition of

-40-

any of the Secured Obligations or of any of the collateral security therefor, including the Other Mortgages or any guarantee thereof, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee may at its discretion foreclose, exercise any power of sale, or exercise any other remedy available to it under any or all of the Other Mortgages without first exercising or enforcing any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Such exercise of Mortgagee’s rights and remedies under any or all of the Other Mortgages shall not in any manner impair the indebtedness hereby secured or the lien of this Mortgage and any exercise of the rights and remedies of Mortgagee hereunder shall not impair the lien of any of the Other Mortgages or any of Mortgagee’s rights and remedies thereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagor specifically consents and agrees that Mortgagee may exercise its rights and remedies hereunder and under the Other Mortgages separately or concurrently and in any order that it may deem appropriate and waives any right of subrogation.

ARTICLE XIII.

STATE OF OHIO PROVISIONS

To the extent of any conflict between the provisions of this Article XIII and any of the other provisions of this Mortgage, the provisions of this Article XIII shall control.

This mortgage is intended by Mortgagor and Mortgagee to constitute an “Open-End Mortgage” that complies with Section 5301.232 of the Ohio Revised Code, and is intended, in addition to securing the Secured Obligations, to secure unpaid balances of advances made after this Mortgage is delivered to the county recorder for record. The maximum amount of unpaid indebtedness which may be outstanding at any time (exclusive of interest thereon and exclusive of unpaid balances of advances made for the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, and costs incurred for the protection of the Mortgaged Property) shall not exceed TWO HUNDRED THIRTY MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($230,000,000). In addition to the Secured Obligations secured hereby, this Mortgage shall secure unpaid balances of advances made for the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, and costs incurred for the protection of the Mortgaged Property as provided in Ohio Revised Code Section 5301.233.

SECTION 13.2. Mechanics’ Lien Law. Mortgagee shall be and hereby is authorized and empowered to do, as Mortgagee, all things provided to be done in the mechanics’ lien laws of the State of Ohio (including Section 1311.14 of the Ohio Revised Code), and all acts amendatory or supplementary thereto.
