LAND DEED OF TRUST

THIS LAND DEED OF TRUST (this “Deed of Trust”) dated as of December 1, 2004, is entered into among TREX COMPANY, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Debtor”), and ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as Trustee (“Trustee”), and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. as Beneficiary, in its capacities as the Issuing Bank of the hereinafter defined Letter of Credit and as the Administrative Agent under the hereinafter defined Reimbursement Agreement (herein designated as “Secured Party”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, in order to finance all or a portion of (i) the costs of the acquisition, construction and equipping of solid waste disposal facilities in the City of Olive Branch, DeSoto County, Mississippi, to be used by the Debtor in connection with the manufacture of non-wood decking, railing and fencing products and (ii) certain costs of issuance of the Bonds (as hereafter defined), the Debtor has requested that the Mississippi Business Finance Corporation (“Issuer”) issue its Variable Rate Demand Environmental Improvement Revenue Bonds (Trex Company, Inc. Project), Series 2004, in the aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 (“Bonds”) and loan the proceeds thereof to the Debtor (“Loan”) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a Loan Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2004 (“Loan Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, in order to enhance the marketability of the Bonds, the Debtor has requested the Secured Party to issue to the Trustee the Secured Party’s direct pay irrevocable transferable Letter of Credit in the stated amount of $25,308,220.00 (“Letter of Credit”) to provide payment for and secure the payment of the principal of and interest on, and the purchase price of, the Bonds; and

WHEREAS, the Secured Party will issue the Letter of Credit concurrently with the issuance and delivery of the Bonds pursuant to the Reimbursement and Credit Agreement dated as of December 1, 2004, between the Debtor and the Secured Party (“Reimbursement Agreement”), under which the Debtor will be obligated, among other things, to reimburse the Secured Party, with interest, for all drawings under the Letter of Credit and the Loan and Reimbursement Agreement have a final maturity date of December 1, 2029; and

WHEREAS, as security for all of the Bank Payments Obligations (as defined herein), the Debtor has duly executed and delivered to the Secured Party, this Deed of Trust.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the existing and future Bank Payments Obligations herein recited, the Debtor hereby conveys, warrants, grants, bargains, sells, assigns, transfers and pledges unto the Trustee, in Trust, with Power of Sale, the land described in Exhibit A, situated in the City of Olive Branch, County of DeSoto, State of Mississippi, together with all improvements and appurtenances now or hereafter erected on, and all fixtures of any and every description now or hereafter attached to, said land. Notwithstanding any provision in this Deed of Trust or in any other agreement with the Secured Party, the Secured Party shall not have a nonpossessory security interest in, and its Collateral or Pledged Estate shall not include, any

household goods (as defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation AA, Subpart B), unless the household goods are identified in a security agreement and are acquired as a result of a purchase money obligation. Such household goods shall only secure said purchase money obligation (including any refinancing thereof).

THIS CONVEYANCE TO TRUSTEE, HOWEVER, IS IN TRUST WITH POWER OF SALE to secure prompt payment of all existing and future Bank Payments Obligations due by the Debtor to the Secured Party under the provisions of the Reimbursement Agreement. If the Debtor shall pay said Bank Payments Obligations promptly when due and shall perform all covenants made by the Debtor herein, then this conveyance shall be void and of no effect. If the Debtor shall be in default as provided in Section 5.01, then, in that event, the entire Bank Payments Obligations, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall, at the option of the Secured Party, be and become at once due and payable without notice to the Debtor, and the Trustee shall, at the request of the Secured Party, sell the Pledged Estate conveyed, or a sufficiency thereof, to satisfy the Bank Payments Obligations at public outcry to the highest bidder for cash. Sale of the property shall be advertised for three consecutive weeks preceding the sale in a newspaper published in the county where the Pledged Estate is situated, or if none is so published, then in some newspaper having a general circulation therein, and by posting a notice for the same time at the courthouse of the same county. The notice and advertisement shall disclose the names of the original debtors in this Deed of Trust. The Debtor waives the provisions of Section 89-1-55 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 as amended, if any, as far as this section restricts the right of the Trustee to offer at sale more than 160 acres at a time, and the Trustee may offer the property herein conveyed as a whole, regardless of how it is described.

If the Pledged Estate is situated in two or more counties, or in two judicial districts of the same county, the Trustee shall have full power to select in which county or judicial district, the sale of the property is to be made and the Trustee’s selection shall be binding upon the Debtor and the Secured Party. Should the Secured Party be a corporation or an unincorporated association, then any officer thereof may declare the Debtor to be in default as provided in Section 5.01 and request the Trustee to sell the Pledged Estate. Secured Party shall have the same right to purchase the property at the foreclosure sale as would a purchaser who is not a party to this Deed of Trust.

From the proceeds of the sale the Trustee shall first pay all costs of the sale including reasonable compensation to the Trustee; then the Bank Payments Obligations due the Secured Party by the Debtor, including accrued interest and attorney’s fees due for collection of the debt; then any other debt secured by the Pledged Estate; and then, lastly, any balance remaining to the Debtor or the Debtor’s transferee.

IT IS AGREED that this conveyance is made subject to the covenants, stipulations and conditions set forth below which shall be binding upon all parties hereto.

Section 5.02. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing as provided in Section 5.01 hereof, the Secured Party, or an attorney or agent, without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court in any appropriate action or proceeding, may do all or any of the following subject to the terms of the Financing Documents:

(a) Enter upon and take exclusive possession of the Pledged Estate or any part thereof, including all books, records and accounts relating thereto;

(b) Do any and all acts which the Secured Party deems proper to protect the security hereof, including, for the account of the Debtor, making all payments the Debtor is obligated to make under the Financing Documents;

(c) Cause the construction or completion of construction of any Improvements or any portion of the Facility in accordance with the plans and specifications, if applicable;

(d) To the extent permitted by law and the Financing Documents, enter into the Project without being liable for any prosecution or damages therefor and may

dispossess the Debtor and may lease the Project or any part thereof to another party for a term which may extend beyond the term of the Financing Documents and receive the rent therefor, upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to the Secured Party. Such entry by the Secured Party shall not operate to release the Debtor from any sums to be paid or covenants to be performed under the Financing Documents during the full term thereof. In addition, the Debtor agrees that the receipt of rents, awards, and any other moneys or evidences thereof, and any disposition of the same by the Secured Party shall not constitute a waiver of the right of foreclosure and sale of the Project by the Secured Party in the case of an Event of Default. For the purpose of leasing the Project to another party, the Secured Party shall be authorized to make such repairs or alterations in or to the Project as the Secured Party may deem necessary to place the same in good order and condition. The Debtor shall be liable to the Secured Party for the cost of such repairs or alterations and all expenses of such leasing. If the sum realized or to be realized from the leasing is insufficient to satisfy the sum payable by the Debtor under the Financing Documents, the Secured Party, at its option, may require the Debtor to pay such deficiency month by month, or may hold the Debtor liable in advance for the entire deficiency to be realized during the term of the leasing of the Project. Notwithstanding such entry by the Secured Party, the Debtor agrees that it shall not discontinue or take any action to cause the discontinuance of any utility service (including heat) furnished to the Project prior to such entry and the Debtor further agrees any such utility service shall continue to be furnished to the Project at the expense of the Debtor;

(e) Perform any and all conditions and undertakings of any agreement or commitment entered into between the Debtor and any Person, including the Secured Party, provided, however, that if the Debtor retains possession of all or any part of the Pledged Estate after an Event of Default and without the Secured Party’s prior written consent thereto, the Secured Party may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess the Debtor available to the Secured Party by applicable law. Nothing contained in the foregoing sentence shall, however, be construed to impose any greater obligation or any prerequisites to acquiring possession of the Pledged Estate after an Event of Default than would have existed in the absence of such sentence;

(f) Either with or without taking possession of the Pledged Estate, either by itself or by any other Person, in such manner, for such time and upon such terms that the Secured Party may deem to be prudent or reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements thereto and taking any and all other action with reference thereto from time to time as the Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable), hold, lease, manage, operate or otherwise use or permit the use of the Pledged Estate and collect and receive the Rents, including accrued and unpaid Rents, issue binding receipts therefor, and apply the same, less costs of operation and collection (including, but not limited to, the reasonable costs, expenses and fees of a receiver, if any), upon the Bank Payments Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust. The receipt by the Secured Party of any Rents, pursuant to the foregoing, whether prior to or during the pendency of sale proceedings under this Deed of Trust, shall not cure such default, nor affect said notice or proceedings or any sale pursuant thereto, but such Rents, less costs as aforesaid, shall be applied in reduction of the entire Bank Payments Obligations from time to time outstanding and secured hereby; and

(g) The Trustee, at the direction of the Secured Party, may commence foreclosure proceedings on all or any portion of the real property comprising a part of the Pledged Estate, or on any interest in any part thereof it selects, by statutory power of sale or action brought in its own name as plaintiff in a court of competent jurisdiction, in the manner provided by law, and the filing of a complaint to foreclose the same, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be conclusive notice of the due exercise of such option; or the Secured Party may execute and deliver to the Debtor written notice of such breach, default or other Event of Default and of its election to cause this Deed of Trust to be foreclosed by action to be brought by the Secured Party as plaintiff in a court of competent jurisdiction in the manner provided by law, as aforesaid; and thereafter the Secured Party shall bring such action. In case of any sale under this Deed of Trust, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, the Pledged Estate (and Debtor’s interest therein) may be sold in one parcel and as an entirety or in such parcels (or interests), manner or order as the Secured Party in their sole discretion may elect. In the event of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust by action brought by the Secured Party as aforesaid, there shall also be, and is, secured hereby, the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, cost of search or other evidence of insurance of title, for the benefit and protection of the Secured Party, and attorneys’ fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses on appeal or arising out of any action in bankruptcy) in a reasonable sum to be fixed by the court in any such action brought to foreclose the same, whether such foreclosure action progresses to judgment or not; and the filing of a complaint in any such action shall render due and payable by the Debtor such cost of search or evidence of insurance of title and attorneys’ fees.

If Secured Party invokes the power of sale contained herein and directs Trustee to foreclose on all or part of the Pledged Estate, Trustee may sell all or any part of the Pledged Estate (including any property that may be subject to the provisions of the UCC which may then be security for the debt hereby secured, which sale may be conducted in connection with any sale of real property and fixtures and in accordance with the UCC) after giving notice of the time, place and terms of sale as required by Section 89-1-55 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended, or any successor provisions. If the Pledged Estate is located in two or more counties or in two judicial districts of the same county, whether the Pledged Estate consists of one parcel or more than one parcel, then Trustee shall have full power to select in which county, or judicial district, the sale of all or any part of the Pledged Estate shall be made and its selection shall be binding upon Debtor and Secured Party and all persons claiming through or under them, whether by contract or by law. Trustee shall have full power to fix the day, time, terms and place of sale and may sell the Pledged Estate in parcels or as a whole as Trustee may deem best. Debtor waives the provisions of Section 89-1-55 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended, and any successor provisions, as far as said section restricts the right of Trustee to offer at sale more than one hundred sixty (160) acres at a time, and Trustee may offer the Pledged Estate as a whole or in part and in such order as Trustee may deem best, regardless of the manner in which it may be described. Trustee, without demand on Debtor, shall sell the Pledged Estate at public auction to the highest bidder for cash at such time and place in DeSoto County, Mississippi, as Trustee designates in the notice of sale. Trustee may appoint an agent to conduct foreclosure proceedings and any sale thereunder, which appointment need not be recorded. Any foreclosure sale may be adjourned or continued from time to time in the discretion of Trustee until such time

as such sale can be validly and legally completed. At any sale made to enforce the trust herein given, Trustee shall execute a deed of conveyance or other appropriate instrument conveying the Pledged Estate so sold, which conveyance shall be without any covenant or warranty, express or implied, and shall vest full and perfect title in such purchaser upon payment of the purchase price. The recitals in such instrument shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made therein, and failure to give any notice to Debtor as provided herein shall not adversely affect any foreclosure sale or create any liability on the part of Trustee or Secured Party to Debtor. Upon any sale pursuant to this Section, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Secured Party may bid for and acquire the Pledged Estate or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the indebtedness of Debtor secured by this Deed of Trust the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the costs of the auction and any other sums which Trustee or Secured Party is authorized to deduct under this Deed of Trust. If the Pledged Estate is sold pursuant to this Section, Debtor or any person holding possession of the Pledged Estate through Debtor shall immediately surrender possession of the Pledged Estate to the purchaser at such sale. If possession is not surrendered, Debtor or such person shall be deemed to be a tenant at sufferance and may be removed by writ of possession or any other lawful means.

Section 5.03. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of the Pledged Estate shall be applied by the Trustee to the extent that funds are so available to the following or in such order of priority that the Secured Party, in its sole discretion may determine, subject to the requirements of State law:

(a) First, to all costs and expenses of the sale, including, but not limited to, reasonable Trustee’s and attorney’s fees and costs of title evidence and any other costs incurred in connection with the sale;

(b) Second, to all sums secured hereby; and

Section 5.04. Delivery of Possession. Any sale or sales of the Pledged Estate, or any part thereof, under or by virtue of judicial proceedings, regardless of the price paid for the Pledged Estate or any part thereof, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of the Debtor of, in and to the Pledged Estate and the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and equity, against the Debtor, its successors and assigns and against any and all Persons claiming or who shall thereafter claim all or any portion of the property sold from, through, or under the Debtor, its successors or assigns and the Debtor, if requested by the Secured Party so to do, shall join in the execution and delivery of all property conveyances, assignments, and transfers of the property so sold. The rights of the Secured Party to possession or for a receiver are of the essence hereof, and shall continue during the running of the period allowed by law for the reinstatement of the Bank Payments Obligations secured hereby and thereafter until sale of

the Pledged Estate. The Debtor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights the Debtor may have by statute or otherwise to the possession of the Pledged Estate and the Rents during pendency of a sale or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust. The Debtor agrees for itself and any and all Persons claiming by, through or under the Debtor that if the Debtor shall hold possession of the Pledged Estate or any part thereof subsequent to sale or foreclosure hereunder, the Debtor, or the parties so holding possession, shall become and be considered as tenants at will of the purchaser or purchasers of such foreclosure sale; and any such tenant failing or refusing to surrender possession upon demand shall be guilty of forcible detainer and shall be liable to such purchaser or purchasers for reasonable rental on said Pledged Estate and shall be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law, damages which may be sustained by the Debtor or any such tenant as a result thereof being hereby expressly waived.

Section 5.05. Reserved.

Section 5.06. Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Non-Exclusive. The Secured Party shall have all the rights, remedies and recourses granted herein, in the Financing Documents and as available at law or equity (including specifically those granted by the UCC), and the same:

(a) shall be cumulative and concurrent;

(b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against the Debtor, or against the Pledged Estate, at the sole discretion of the Secured Party;

(c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by the Debtor that the failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse of the Secured Party; and

(d) are intended to be, and shall be, non-exclusive.

Section 5.07. No Conditions Precedent to Exercise of Remedies. The Debtor will not be relieved from the payment or fulfillment of the Bank Payments Obligations by reason of:

(a) the failure of the Secured Party to comply with any request of the Debtor, or any other Person so obligated to enforce any provisions of the Financing Documents;

(b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the Pledged Estate or the addition of any other property to the Pledged Estate;

(c) any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner of the Pledged Estate and the Secured Party extending, renewing, rearranging or in any other way modifying the terms of the Financing Documents without first having obtained the consent of, given notice to, or paid any consideration to the Debtor, who, in such event, shall continue to be

liable to make payment according to the terms of any such extension or modification agreement unless expressly released and discharged in writing by the Secured Party; or

(d) any other act or occurrence, save and except the complete payment and satisfactory fulfillment of all of the Bank Payments Obligations.

Section 5.08. Extension, Rearrangement or Renewal of the Bank Payments Obligations. It is expressly agreed that any of the Bank Payments Obligations at any time secured hereby may be from time to time extended for any period, rearranged, modified, or renewed and that any part of the security herein described, or any other security for the Bank Payments Obligations, may be waived or released without in any way altering, varying or diminishing the force, effect or Lien of this Deed of Trust; and the Lien and security interests granted by this Deed of Trust shall continue as a prior Lien and security on all of the Pledged Estate not expressly so released, until all sums with interest and charges hereby secured are fully paid; and no other security now existing or hereafter taken to secure the payment of the Bank Payments Obligations or any part thereof or the performance of any obligation or liability whatsoever shall in any manner impair or affect the security given by this Deed of Trust and all security for the payment of the Bank Payments Obligations or any part thereof and the performance of any obligation or liability shall be taken, considered and held as cumulative.

Section 5.09. Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Debtor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases:

(a) all benefits that might accrue to the Debtor by virtue of any present or future law exempting the Pledged Estate from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment;

(b) except as expressly provided herein or in the Financing Documents, all notices of any Event of Default or of the Secured Party’s election to exercise or the Secured Party’s actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Financing Documents;

(c) any right to a marshalling of assets, right to direct the order in which such property, if consisting of several known lots or parcels, shall be sold, or right to a sale in inverse order of alienation; and

(d) the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any and all Bank Payments Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust;

and covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted or delegated to the Secured Party, but to suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.

Section 5.10. Repayment of Expenses. Repayment of all expenses incurred by the Secured Party hereunder or payments made by the Secured Party on behalf of the Debtor hereunder, or under the Financing Documents, together with interest thereon shall be secured by this Deed of Trust; following the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest thereon shall be at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE VI

SECURITY AGREEMENT

Section 6.01. Security Agreement. To the extent that the Pledged Estate may be subject to the UCC, this Deed of Trust shall also constitute and serve as a “security agreement” on personal property within the meaning of, and shall constitute a first and prior security interest under, the UCC with respect to the Pledged Estate which is subject to the UCC, including without limitation, the Personalty, Fixtures and Rents associated with the Project (collectively, the “Collateral”). To this end, the Debtor has GRANTED, BARGAINED, CONVEYED, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED and SET OVER and by these presents does GRANT, BARGAIN, CONVEY, ASSIGN, TRANSFER and SET OVER unto the Secured Party a security interest in all of the Debtor’s right, title and interest in to and under all of the other Pledged Estate not constituting real property under the laws of the State to secure the full and timely payment and the full and timely performance and discharge of the Bank Payments Obligations. Upon any default of the Debtor hereunder, the Secured Party, or if the Secured Party directs the Trustee, at the direction of the Secured Party, shall be entitled to exercise with respect to the Collateral all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and in the Financing Documents or otherwise afforded to a secured party under the terms of the UCC, any or all of which remedies or rights may be pursued and exercised concurrently, consecutively, alternatively or otherwise. The Debtor hereby authorizes the filing and refiling of one or more supplemental security agreements and financing statements as the Secured Party may from time to time require covering any property now or hereafter constituting a portion of the Pledged Estate securing the Bank Payments Obligations secured hereunder and such financing statements and other and further assurances as the Secured Party may request to perfect or evidence the security interest herein created and to particularize and identify the Collateral. The Debtor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file such financing statement or statements pursuant to the UCC, without the signature of the Debtor, as the Secured Party may deem necessary, to perfect such interests or right in its favor. It is the intent of the Debtor and the Secured Party that this Deed of Trust encumber all Personalty and Rents and as to all items contained in the definition of Personalty and Rents which are included in the UCC, be covered by the security interests granted in this Article VI and that all items contained in the definition of Personalty and Rents which are excluded from the UCC be covered by the provisions of Article II and Article VII hereof.

Section 6.02. Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust shall also constitute a UCC financing statement (the “Fixture Filing”) for all Personalty or Fixtures, now or hereafter so affixed by or on behalf of the Debtor to the Pledged Estate so that such becomes a fixture in accordance with the UCC. Information containing the security interest herein granted may be

obtained at the addresses set forth herein. The address of the Secured Party as the “Secured Party” and the address of the Debtor as the “Debtor” are the addresses set forth in Section 9.07 hereof. The Debtor is a Delaware Corporation and its corporate ID number is ▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

Section 6.03. Security Agreement; Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur, the Secured Party, or the Trustee, at the direction of the Secured Party, may, in addition to exercising any and all other rights, remedies and recourses set forth in Article V hereof, and subject to the terms of Section 5.02 with respect to the portion of the Pledged Estate constituting real property hereof, take any or all of the following actions without notice to the Debtor (except where expressly required below or in the Financing Documents):

(a) Declare all or part of the Bank Payments Obligations immediately due and payable in accordance with Article VIII of the Reimbursement Agreement, and enforce payment and performance of the same by the Debtor;

(b) Proceed in the manner set forth in the applicable provision of the UCC relating to the procedure to be followed when a security agreement covers both real and personal property;

(c) Take possession of the Collateral, or at the Secured Party’s request, the Debtor shall, at the Debtor’s cost, assemble the Collateral and make it available at a location to be specified by the Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to the Debtor and the Secured Party. In any event, the risk of accidental loss or damage to, or diminution in value of Collateral shall be on the Debtor, and the Secured Party shall have no liability whatsoever for failure to obtain or maintain insurance, nor to determine whether any insurance ever in force is adequate as to amount or as to risk insured;

(d) Sell, in one or more sales and in one or more parcels, or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in any commercially reasonable manner as the Secured Party may elect, in a public or private transaction, at any location as deemed reasonable by the Secured Party either for cash or credit or for future delivery at such price as the Secured Party may deem fair, and unless prohibited by the UCC, the Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all Collateral so sold and may apply upon the purchase price therefor any Bank Payments Obligations secured hereby. Any sale pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be upon at least ten days notice to the Debtor, which the Debtor agrees is reasonable. Any such sale or transfer by the Secured Party either to itself or to any other Person shall be absolutely free from any claim or right by the Debtor, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal which the Debtor has or may have under any rule of law, regulation or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. Upon any such sale or transfer, the Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral so sold or transferred. It shall not be necessary that the Collateral or any part thereof be present at the location of any such sale or transfer. The Secured Party, or at the Secured Party’s direction, the Trustee may, at its discretion, provide for a public sale, and any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Secured Party may fix in the notice of such sale. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale pursuant to any

such notice. The Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale by announcement at any time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In the event any sale or transfer hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of the Secured Party, such sale or transfer shall not exhaust the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, and the Secured Party shall have the right to cause one or more subsequent sales or transfers to be made hereunder. In the event that any of the Collateral not constituting real property is sold or transferred on credit, or is to be held by the Secured Party for future delivery to a purchaser or transferee, the Collateral so sold or transferred may be retained by the Secured Party until the purchase price or other consideration is paid by the purchaser or transferee thereof, but in the event that such purchaser or transferee fails to pay for the Collateral so sold or transferred or to take delivery thereof, the Secured Party shall incur no liability in connection therewith. If only part of the Collateral is sold or transferred such that the Bank Payments Obligations remain outstanding (in whole or in part), the Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder shall not be exhausted, waived or modified, and the Secured Party is specifically empowered to make one or more successive sales or transfers until all the Collateral shall be sold or transferred and all the Bank Payments Obligations are paid. In addition to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein, the Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the UCC;

(e) Take possession of all books and records of the Debtor pertaining to the Collateral. The Trustee shall have the authority to enter upon any real property or improvements in order to obtain any such books or records, or any Collateral located thereon, and remove the same therefrom without liability; and

(f) Apply the proceeds of the disposition of Collateral to the Bank Payments Obligations in the manner and priority provided in Section 5.03 of this Deed of Trust. Such application may include, without limitation, the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or other disposition, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by the Trustee (including attorneys’ fees on appeal or incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding).

ARTICLE VII

Section 7.02. Rights of the Debtor’s Limited License. The Secured Party hereby grants to the Debtor a limited revocable license, non-exclusive with the rights of the Secured Party reserved in Section 7.04 hereof to exercise and enjoy all incidences of ownership of the Rents, including specifically, but without limitation, the right to collect, demand, ▇▇▇ for, attach, levy, recover and receive the Rents and to give proper receipts, releases and acquittances therefor, prior to any default in the payment of any Bank Payments Obligations secured hereby, to collect, deliver, disburse and use all such Rents and exercise all rights under the Rents if not otherwise restricted under the Financing Documents. This limited license shall be automatically revoked without notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

Section 7.03. Enforcement of Rents.

(a) So long as the limited license is in effect, the Debtor shall:

(i) duly and punctually perform and comply with any and all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements expressed as binding upon the Debtor as landlord under any lease or agreement;

(ii) maintain each of the leases or agreements in full force and effect during the term thereof, unless the Debtor determines in its reasonable judgment that it is in its best interest to terminate any such lease or agreement;

(iii) appear in and defend any action or proceeding in any manner connected with any lease or agreement;

(iv) deliver to the Secured Party such further information or estoppels, and execute and deliver to the Secured Party such further assurances and assignments, with respect to any leases or agreements as the Secured Party may from time to time request; and

(v) notify the Secured Party immediately of any default asserted by any tenant or other party under such a lease, agreement or contract.

(i) grant concessions, do or knowingly permit to be done anything to impair the value, in the aggregate, of any of the leases or agreements;

(ii) assign or grant a security interest in or to the limited license or any of the rents, leases or agreements; or

(iii) receive or collect rents from any tenant, subtenant, undertenant, or other occupant of any part of the Pledged Estate, more than one month in advance of the due date or in any amount greater than that permitted by law.

Section 7.04. Suits and Attornment. Upon an Event of Default, the Secured Party hereby reserves and may exercise the right and the Debtor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Party has the right (but not the obligation) to collect, demand, ▇▇▇ for, attach, levy, recover and receive any Rents, to give proper receipts, releases and acquittances therefor and, after deducting the expenses of collection, to apply the net proceeds thereof as a credit upon the Bank Payments Obligations. The Debtor hereby authorizes and directs any Person or lessee of all or any part of the Pledged Estate to deliver any such payments to, and otherwise to attorn all other obligations under the lease or agreements directly to the Secured Party in accordance herewith. The Debtor hereby ratifies and confirms all that the Secured Party shall do or cause to be done by virtue of this Section 7.04.

Section 7.05. No Merger of Estates. So long as any part of the Bank Payments Obligations secured hereby remain unpaid and undischarged, the fee and leasehold estates to the Pledged Estate shall not merge, but rather shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates, either in the Debtor, the Secured Party or any other Person by purchase or otherwise.

Section 7.06. Conflict. The absolute assignment contained in this Article VII is in addition to, and not in lieu of, Article II hereof. It is the intent of the parties that no conflict exist between the absolute assignment contained in this Article VII and the collateral conveyance contained in Article II hereof. However, if and to the extent such conflict is perceived to exist as to the Rents, such conflict shall be resolved in favor of the absolute assignment contained in this Article VII.

Section 7.07. Assignment of Rents Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the limited license shall immediately terminate without any notice or other further action being required of the Secured Party. Thereafter, the Secured Party shall have the exclusive right, power and authority to take any and all action in connection with the Rents, regardless of whether a foreclosure or sale of the remainder of the Pledged Estate has occurred under this Deed of Trust or whether the Secured Party has taken possession of the remainder of the Pledged Estate or attempted to do any of the same. The Secured Party may make such expenditures, including reasonable attorneys fees, in connection therewith and each amount so paid or expended with interest at the Default Rate shall become part of the Bank Payments Obligations and be secured hereby. The Secured Party, may, at its option, have the right to apply to a court to have all Rents paid into a court registry pending adjudication of the Secured Party’s rights to such Rents. No action referred to in this Article VII taken by the Secured Party shall constitute an election of remedies.

An independent architect promptly shall determine and advise the Secured Party and the Debtor, in writing, whether it is practicable to repair, reconstruct or replace such damaged or destroyed or condemned or lost property and, if so, the estimated time and funds required for such repair, reconstruction or replacement; provided that no notice to or the advice of the architect shall be required if the estimated cost of repair, reconstruction or replacement, as set forth in reasonable detail in a certificate of the Debtor delivered to the Secured Party is less than $1,000,000. The proceeds of insurance shall be applied as provided in subsections (ii) and (iv) below.

insurance proceeds, then the Debtor shall promptly proceed to repair, reconstruct and replace such part of the Pledged Estate, including all fixtures, furniture, equipment and affects, to its original condition insofar as possible.

(B) If the independent architect advises that such repair, reconstruction or replacement is not practicable, or if the independent architect’s report or the other documents described in (A) above are not delivered within the required time period or are not reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, then the Secured Party may elect to have the Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) repaid to the extent of such net proceeds and such insurance or condemnation proceeds shall be deposited in the Bond Fund and used to reimburse the Secured Party for a draw under the Letter of Credit in connection with the mandatory redemption of the Bonds.

(iii) The moneys required for such repair, reconstruction and replacement shall be paid by the Secured Party to the Trustee for deposit in the Project Fund established under the Indenture, which shall be reactivated and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

Any net insurance proceeds remaining after the completion of such repair, replacement or reconstruction shall promptly, at the direction of the Debtor, be transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund and used to reimburse the Secured Party for a draw under the Letter of Credit in connection with the mandatory redemption of the Bonds.

(v) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder or under the Reimbursement Agreement, any proceeds from insurance shall, at the option of the Secured Party, be transferred by the Secured Party to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund and used to reimburse the Secured Party for a draw under the Letter of Credit in connection with the mandatory redemption of the Bonds.

(c) (i) Immediately after the commencement of any condemnation or similar proceedings by a third party in the exercise of a power of eminent domain, or a power in the nature of eminent domain affecting the Pledged Estate, the Debtor shall notify the Secured Party in writing.

(ii) Subject to the provisions of subsection (iii) below, the proceeds of any condemnation award or other compensation paid by reason of a conveyance in lieu of the

exercise of such power, with respect to all or substantially all the Pledged Estate (after deducting any costs or expenses incurred by the Secured Party or the Debtor in collecting the same, the “Net Condemnation Proceeds”) shall be paid to the Secured Party which shall transfer such amounts to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund and used to reimburse the Secured Party for a draw under the Letter of Credit in connection with the mandatory redemption of the Bonds. Any Net Condemnation Proceeds received for a taking of less than substantially all of the Pledged Estate shall be applied as provided in subsections (iii), (iv) and (v) below.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.04(c) to the contrary (but subject to the provisions of subsection (vii) below), if the estimated cost of replacing or restoring the portion of the Pledged Estate affected by such taking or conveyance is (A) less than $50,000, the Debtor shall not be required to deliver the items referred to in subsection (iv) below and the Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid to the Debtor for application to such lawful purposes as the Debtor may deem appropriate, and (B) equal to or greater than $50,000 but less than $1,000,000, the Debtor shall not be required to deliver the items referred to in subsection (iv) below, the Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid to the Debtor and the Debtor shall promptly proceed to replace or restore such portion of the Pledged Estate.

(iv) If, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such condemnation award (or by such later date as may be reasonably acceptable to the Secured Party) or other compensation which is equal to or greater than $1,000,000, the Debtor delivers to the Secured Party

(A) a written report satisfactory to the Secured Party of an independent architect stating such architect’s estimate of the cost of replacing or restoring the portion of the Pledged Estate affected by such taking or conveyance and

(B) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party stating that, in the Debtor’s best judgment, the Debtor will have sufficient funds from the Net Condemnation Proceeds (and from proceeds of use and occupancy insurance and other available funds and from reasonably anticipated continued operations) to make the payments required of the Debtor under the Reimbursement Agreement, to satisfy the financial covenants set forth in the Reimbursement Agreement, to pay the cost of replacing or restoring the portion of the Pledged Estate affected by such taking or conveyance and to pay all operating expenses until completion of the replacement or restoration of such portion of the Pledged Estate which is affected by such taking or conveyance and for the first full fiscal year after such completion,

then:

(A) The Debtor may elect to replace or restore the portion of the Pledged Estate affected by such taking or conveyance, in which event the Debtor shall promptly proceed to replace or restore such portion of the Pledged Estate, including any fixtures, furniture, equipment and effects, to its original usefulness and condition insofar as possible, provided that the Debtor has delivered to the Secured Party (i) an executed construction contract reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party for such work at a price not greater than the amount stated in the

independent architect’s report and (ii) evidence of the availability of cash or an irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to the funds, if any, required by such independent architect’s report in excess of the available Net Condemnation Proceeds. The moneys required for such replacement or restoration shall be paid (x) from the Net Condemnation Proceeds on deposit with the Secured Party to the Trustee for deposit in the Project Fund established under the Indenture, which shall be reactivated and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture; and (y) to the extent that such proceeds are not sufficient, from moneys to be provided by the Debtor; or

(B) The Debtor may elect, with the consent of the Secured Party, to have all or part of such Net Condemnation Proceeds transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund and used to reimburse the Secured Party for a draw under the Letter of Credit in connection with the redemption of the Bonds; or

(C) If the reports required by this subsection (iv) are not delivered within the required time period or are not reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, then the Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be deposited with the Secured Party and transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund and used to reimburse the Secured Party for a draw under the Letter of Credit in connection with the redemption of the Bonds.

(v) Any Net Condemnation Proceeds remaining after the completion of such replacement or reconstruction shall promptly at the direction of the Debtor be transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund and used to reimburse the Secured Party for a draw under the Letter of Credit in connection with the mandatory redemption of the Bonds.

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Debtor advises to the reasonable satisfaction of the Secured Party that (A) the Facility can continue to operate effectively with less than full replacement or restoration of the portion of the Pledged Estate affected by such taking or conveyance and (B) the Debtor can continue to maintain all financial covenants contained in the Reimbursement Agreement for a period of two fiscal years, then any Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid to the Debtor for application to such lawful purposes as the Debtor may deem appropriate.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder or under the Reimbursement Agreement, any Net Condemnation Proceeds shall, at the option of the Secured Party, be transferred by the Secured Party to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund and used to reimburse the Secured Party for a draw under the Letter of Credit in connection with the mandatory redemption of the Bonds.

Section 9.05. No Waiver by the Secured Party. By accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, the Secured Party does not waive any late charge thereon not then paid or its right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for the Debtor’s failure to pay when any amount is due.

Section 9.06. Satisfaction. Except for the provisions which by their express terms survive termination of this Deed of Trust, this Deed of Trust and the lien and security interest created hereby shall be null and void and extinguished, and the Trustee shall, following the written request by, and at the sole cost and expense of the Debtor, execute and record a satisfaction of this Deed of Trust and the Debtor shall be released from the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Debtor contained herein upon the payment and performance of all Bank Payments Obligations secured hereby and termination of all commitments to extend credit.

The recitals in such satisfaction of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof against all Persons of the truthfulness thereof. The execution and recordation of a satisfaction of this Deed of Trust by the Secured Party shall be sufficient to extinguish all interests of the Secured Party and its respective legal representatives, successors and assigns except those terms which expressly survive the termination of this Deed of Trust.

Section 9.07. Notices. All communications under or in connection with this Deed of Trust shall be in writing and shall be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested or by overnight express mail with notice for receipt, or otherwise sent by telex, telegram, telecopy or similar form of rapid transmission, or by telephone confirmed by mailing (in the manner stated above) of written confirmation at substantially the same time as such rapid transmission, or personally delivered to an office of the receiving party.

Section 9.08. Amendment and Waiver. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Deed of Trust nor consent to any departure by the Debtor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee and the Secured Party and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 9.09. Payment of Costs and Expenses of Secured Party. The Debtor shall promptly pay upon demand all reasonable expenses and costs incurred by the Secured Party, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with (a) any action, proceeding, litigation or claim instituted or asserted by or against the Secured Party or in which the Secured Party become engaged, wherein it becomes necessary in the opinion of the Secured Party to defend or uphold the lien of this Deed of Trust, or the validity or effectiveness of any assignment or any claim, award, payment, property damage insurance policy or any other right or property conveyed, encumbered or assigned by the Debtor to the Secured Party hereunder, or the priority of any of the same, and (b) the exercise or enforcement of any other rights or remedies of the Secured Party hereunder, and in any case, all such reasonable expenses and costs may be added to and become part of the principal indebtedness of the Debtor hereunder, bear interest at the Default Rate, and be secured in all respects hereby as if part of the principal indebtedness of the Debtor hereunder and under the Bank Payments Obligations.

Section 9.10. Taxation of the Bank Payments Obligations and Deed of Trust. If at any time before the Bank Payments Obligations hereby secured are fully paid, any law of the State be enacted deducting from the value of the Pledged Estate for the purposes of taxation the amount of any lien thereon, or imposing upon the Secured Party the payment of the whole or any part of the Impositions herein required to be paid by the Debtor revising or changing in any way the laws relating to the taxation of mortgages or debts secured by mortgages or the Secured Party’s interest in the Pledged Estate or the manner of collection of taxes, so as to affect adversely this Deed of Trust or the debt hereby secured, or the owner and holder thereof in respect thereto, then, and in any such event, the Debtor upon demand by the Secured Party, shall pay such Impositions or reimburse the Secured Party therefor; provided, however, that if, in the opinion of Counsel for the Secured Party, (a) it would be unlawful to require the Debtor to make such payment; or (b) the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the Highest Lawful Rate, then, in such event, the Secured Party may elect, by notice in writing given to the Debtor, to declare all of the Bank Payments Obligations secured hereby to be and become due and payable within sixty (60) days from the giving of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Debtor is not obligated to pay any portion of the Secured Party’s federal or state income taxes.

Section 9.12. Due on Sale; Assignability. The financial stability and developmental, managerial and operational ability of the Debtor are a substantial and material consideration to the Secured Party in its agreement to enter into the transaction evidenced by the Financing Documents. The Debtor acknowledges that the transfer of the Pledged Estate could significantly and materially alter, impair and reduce the Secured Party’s security for the Bank

Payments Obligations. In order, therefore, to induce the Secured Party to accept the Financing Documents, the Debtor agrees not to, directly or indirectly, transfer the Pledged Estate, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein, without the prior written consent of the Secured Party. In the event the Debtor, or any successor in interest of the Debtor, shall transfer the Pledged Estate, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein, to any person without complying with the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement, all Bank Payments Obligations unpaid pursuant to the Financing Documents, the payment of which is secured by this Deed of Trust shall at the option of the Secured Party and without notice or demand, become immediately due and payable, and, in addition, upon any such prohibited transfer, such transfer shall be deemed to be an “Event of Default” hereunder. Consent to one such transaction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to future or successive transactions. As used herein, “transfer” includes the sale, transfer or conveyance of the Pledged Estate, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein, whether voluntary, involuntary (except by eminent domain), by operation of law or otherwise. The Secured Party shall have the right to assign this Deed of Trust. All of the rights, privileges, remedies and options given to the Secured Party hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns; and all the terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions and warranties of this Deed of Trust shall inure to the benefit of and shall bind the representatives, successors and assigns of the Secured Party and the Debtor.

Section 9.13. Severability. Any provision of this Deed of Trust which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or nonauthorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.14. Governing Law. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State without giving effect to conflicts of laws.

Section 9.15. Future Advances. This Deed of Trust shall secure the Bank Payments Obligations and any future or protective advances made hereunder or under the Financing Documents. The total amount of indebtedness secured hereby may decrease or increase from time to time.

Section 9.16. Headings. Section headings in this Deed of Trust are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Deed of Trust for any other purpose.

Section 9.17. Entire Agreement. This Deed of Trust constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes and is full substitution for any and all prior agreements and understandings between said parties related to such transactions.

Section 9.18. Time of the Essence. Time is strictly of the essence under this Deed of Trust and any amendment, modification or revision hereof.

Section 9.19 Further Action By Debtor. The Debtor shall at its expense promptly upon request of the Secured Party do all reasonable acts and things, including, but not limited to, the execution of any further assurances deemed necessary by the Secured Party, to establish, confirm, maintain, protect and continue the lien created and intended to be created hereby, all assignments made or intended to be made pursuant hereto and all other rights and benefits conferred or intended to be conferred on the Secured Party hereby, and the Debtor shall pay all reasonable costs incurred by the Secured Party in connection therewith, including all filing and recording costs, cost of searches, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Secured Party.

Section 9.20 Advances by Secured Party. The Secured Party may, but are not obligated to, pay any sum or perform any other obligation for the account of the Debtor which the Debtor has failed to pay or perform (including, but not limited to, procuring insurance), and sums so spent by the Secured Party shall be added to the principal sum secured by this Deed of Trust and be repayable by the Debtor on demand, and shall bear interest from the date of advance by the Secured Party equal to the Default Rate.

Section 9.21 Invalid Provision Disregarded. If any term or provision of this Deed of Trust or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Deed of Trust or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term and provision of this Deed of Trust shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 9.22 Inspection and Repairs by the Secured Party. The Debtor will permit the Secured Party and the Secured Party’s representatives to enter the Pledged Estate at reasonable times to inspect the same; provided that so long as there is no uncured or unwaived Event of Default, the Secured Party shall provide the Debtor with prior notice of such inspection. Such right of access shall include, without limitation, the right to enter upon the Pledged Estate to conduct such tests, analyses, environmental audits, inspections and borings as the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable, in its reasonable discretion. In case of any breach or default by the Debtor in its maintenance and repair obligations with respect to the Pledged Estate under the Reimbursement Agreement, the Secured Party may, at its option, enter the Pledged Estate to protect, restore or repair any part thereof, but the Secured Party shall be under no obligation to do so.

Section 9.23 No Liability of Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing herein shall cause the Secured Party to be liable for or be bound by any obligations of the Debtor under the Collateral.

THE DEBTOR HEREBY DECLARES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED, WITHOUT CHARGE, A TRUE COPY OF THIS DEED OF TRUST.
