(a) in the case of damage or injury to the Mortgaged Property, Grantor shall deposit promptly with Beneficiary funds which, together with the insurance recoveries, shall be sufficient in Beneficiary’s reasonable judgment to restore and rebuild the Mortgaged Property, and
(b) in the case of a partial condemnation or other taking, Grantor shall deposit promptly with Beneficiary funds which, together with the condemnation proceeds shall be sufficient in Beneficiary’s judgment to restore what remains of the Mortgaged Property to an economically viable property;

The plans, specifications and drawings shall provide for the reconstruction of the Mortgaged Property to its original condition (unless otherwise approved by Beneficiary, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The plans shall not be modified in any material respect without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
(v) Beneficiary shall also have approved all prime contractors and subcontractors, and the general contract or contracts Grantor proposes to enter into with respect to the restoration and rebuilding, which approval Beneficiary shall not unreasonably withhold or delay;
-7-
(vi) any and all monies which are made available for restoration and rebuilding hereunder shall be held in an interest-bearing account (which interest shall become a part of such fund) and disbursed through Beneficiary, Trustee or a title insurance or trust company satisfactory to Beneficiary, in accordance with standard construction lending practice, including, if requested by Beneficiary, monthly lien waivers and title insurance date-downs, and the provision of payment and performance bonds by Grantor, or in any other manner approved by Beneficiary in Beneficiary’s reasonable discretion; and
(vii) Beneficiary shall be satisfied that the quality of the materials and workmanship of the repair or reconstruction of the Mortgaged Property will be at least substantially equal to the quality of the materials and workmanship of the Mortgaged Property prior to such damage.
The excess of the above condemnation proceeds or insurance recoveries above the amount necessary to complete such restoration or rebuilding, if any, shall be disbursed to Grantor if Beneficiary determines, in its reasonable discretion, that its security under this Deed of Trust will not be impaired. Otherwise, such excess shall be applied as a credit upon the Obligations secured hereby.
1.4. Taxes, Liens and Other Items.
Except as may be provided in the Loan Agreement:
A. Grantor shall pay all taxes (including all real and personal property taxes and assessments), bonds, assessments, fees, liens, charges, fines, impositions and any and all other items which are attributable to or affect the Mortgaged Property and which may attain a priority over this Deed of Trust by making payment prior to delinquency directly to the payee thereof, unless Grantor is contesting the same and has posted reserves therefore in accordance with GAAP; and

1.5. Leases.
A. Grantor represents and warrants that leases, licenses, contracts for hire or rental agreements pertaining to the use or occupancy of any of the Mortgaged Property entered into at any time by Grantor or any predecessor to Grantor, as landlord or lessor, and any other party, as tenant or lessee (“Tenant Leases”), if any, (i) are in full force and effect, are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, and are not in default; (ii) have not been paid by any lessee more than one (1) month in advance; and (iii) have not been transferred or assigned by the lessor.

1.6. Rents.
A. All of the rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income and other benefits of the Mortgaged Property, arising from the use or enjoyment of all or any portion thereof or services provided in connection therewith, or from any Tenant Lease or agreement pertaining thereto, whether now due, past due, or to become due, and including all prepaid rents and security deposits (the “Rents”), are hereby absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigned, transferred, conveyed and set over to Beneficiary to be applied by Beneficiary in payment of the principal and interest and all other sums payable on the Obligations, and of all other sums payable under this Deed of Trust.
B. Grantor agrees and stipulates that the absolute, present, and unconditional assignment of the Rents herein to Beneficiary perfects Beneficiary’s interest in the Rents and that no further act by Beneficiary is needed to perfect Beneficiary’s interest in the Rents.
C. Beneficiary shall not, for any purpose or under any circumstance, be deemed to be a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof, unless and until Beneficiary, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession thereof.
D. Without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, Grantor shall not take action that might impair Beneficiary’s rights and interest with respect to the Rents. A default by Grantor in the performance of any covenant in any Tenant Lease assigned to Beneficiary, by reason of which default the tenant has the right to cancel such Tenant Lease or to claim any diminution of or offset against future rents, shall, at the option of Beneficiary, constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
E. Any Tenant Leases entered into by Grantor after the Closing Date shall contain a provision satisfactory to Beneficiary that in the event of the exercise of the private power of sale or a judicial foreclosure hereunder, such Tenant Lease, at the sole and exclusive option of the purchaser at such sale, shall not be terminated and the tenant thereunder shall attorn to such purchaser and, if requested to do so, shall enter into a new Tenant Lease for the balance of the term of such Tenant Lease then remaining upon the same terms and conditions.

Grantor agrees to execute and deliver financing and continuation statements covering said property from time to time and in such form as Beneficiary may require to perfect and continue the perfection of Beneficiary’s lien or security interest with respect to said property. Grantor shall pay all costs of filing such statements and renewals and releases thereof and shall pay
-9-
all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements Beneficiary may reasonably require.

F. Grantor warrants and agrees that on the date hereof and except as disclosed in the Loan Agreement there is no financing statement covering any such property, or any part thereof, on file in any public office and agrees that all or such portion of any such property now or hereafter subject to this Deed of Trust is, and shall be kept (except with the prior written consent of Beneficiary, or as otherwise permitted in the Loan Agreement) free from any other lien, security interest or encumbrance.

B. Upon such revocation of Grantor’s license, Grantor shall immediately turn over to Beneficiary all of the Rents.
C. The right of Beneficiary to collect Rents as herein provided shall not be deemed to grant to Beneficiary or Trustee the right to possession of the Property, except as expressly herein provided, or to impose upon Beneficiary or Trustee the duty to produce any Rents or maintain the Property in whole or in part.

Grantor, for itself and for all persons hereafter claiming through or under it or who may at any time hereafter become holders of liens junior to the lien of this Deed of Trust, hereby expressly waives and releases all rights to direct the order in which any of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant hereto and to have any of the Mortgaged Property and/or any other property now or hereafter constituting security for any of the indebtedness secured hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or of any other security for any of said indebtedness.
-23-
B. Grantor hereby waives and disclaims any state law or principle of equity which limits the ability of Beneficiary to sell or dispose of the Mortgaged Property in multiple nonjudicial foreclosure actions, rather than one nonjudicial foreclosure action, by parcel rather than en masse, or to obtain and/or force a deficiency judgment in respect of any sale of any piece of Mortgaged Property.
3.9. Remedies Cumulative.
A. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
B. No delay or omission of Trustee or Beneficiary to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or any acquiescence thereof, and every power and remedy given by this Deed of Trust to Trustee or Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary.
C. If there exists additional security for the performance of the Obligations secured hereby, Beneficiary, at its sole option, and without limiting or affecting any of its rights or remedies hereunder, may exercise any of the rights and remedies to which it may be entitled hereunder either concurrently with whatever rights and remedies it may have in connection with such other security or in such order as it may determine.
D. Any application of any amounts or any portion thereof held by Beneficiary at any time as additional security hereunder to any indebtedness secured hereby shall not extend or postpone the due dates of any payments due from Grantor to Beneficiary hereunder or under the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents, or change the amounts of any such payments or otherwise be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such default or notice.
3.10. Redemption.
To the extent permitted by law, this Deed of Trust shall continue and remain in full force and effect during any period of foreclosure or any redemption period with respect to the Mortgaged Property

MISCELLANEOUS
MISCELLANEOUS
4.1. Notice of Sale.
Any power granted to Beneficiary in this Deed of Trust may be exercised, pursuant to a single notice of trustee’s sale, separately with respect to each and every item or parcel of property or with respect to groups and assemblages of property, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, and may be exercised on separate days or at separate times or in separate places; the exercise of such power of
-24-
sale shall not be an action for purposes of any law or statute pertaining to actions to enforce secured transactions.
4.2. Non-Waiver.
A. By accepting payment of any amount after its due date or late performance of any obligation secured hereby, Beneficiary will not waive its right either to require prompt payment when due of any other amounts or prompt performance of any other Obligations so secured or to declare a default for failure to pay or perform when due. No exercise of any right or remedy by Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy herein contained or provided by law.
B. No waiver by Trustee or Beneficiary will be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any payment made by the Beneficiary for insurance premiums or any other charges affecting the Mortgaged Property, shall not constitute a waiver of Grantor’s default in making such payments and shall not obligate Beneficiary to make any further payments.
4.3. Severability.
If any provision hereof should be held unenforceable or void, then such provision shall be deemed separable from the remaining provisions and shall in no way affect the validity of this Deed of Trust, except that if such provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then Beneficiary may at its option declare the Obligations and all other sums secured hereby immediately due and payable.
4.4. Certain Charges.
A. Grantor agrees to pay Beneficiary for each statement of Beneficiary as to the Obligations secured hereby, furnished at Grantor’s request, the maximum fee allowed by law, or if there be no maximum fee, then such reasonable fee as is charged by Beneficiary as of the time said statement is furnished.
B. Grantor further agrees to pay the lawful charges of Beneficiary for any other service rendered Grantor, or on its behalf, connected with this Deed of Trust or the indebtedness secured hereby, including the delivery to an escrow holder of a request for full or partial reconveyance of this Deed of Trust, transmitting to an escrow holder moneys secured hereby, changing its records pertaining to this Deed of Trust and indebtedness secured hereby to show a new owner of the Mortgaged Property, and replacing an existing policy of insurance held hereunder with another such policy.
4.5. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, or other communication shall or may be given or delivered to or served upon any of the parties by another, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or deliver or serve upon another any communication with respect to this Deed of Trust, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, or other communication shall be in writing (including, unless the context expressly otherwise provides, by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission, provided that any matter transmitted by Grantor by facsimile
-25-
or electronic transmission shall be followed promptly by delivery of a hard copy original thereof) and mailed, faxed or delivered, to the address or facsimile number specified below (or to such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties).

4.6. Grantor Not Released.
A. Extension of the time for payment or modification of the terms of payment of any sums secured by this Deed of Trust granted by Beneficiary to any successor in interest of Grantor shall not operate to release, in any manner, the liability of the original Grantor except to the extent set forth in such extension or modification. Beneficiary shall not be required to commence proceedings against such successor or refuse to extend time for payment or otherwise modify the terms of payment of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust by reason of any demand made by the original Grantor.
B. Without affecting the liability of any person, including Grantor, for the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby, or the lien of this Deed of Trust on the remainder of
-26-
the Mortgaged Property for the full amount of any such indebtedness and liability unpaid, Beneficiary and Trustee are respectively empowered as follows:
(i) Beneficiary may from time to time and without notice:
(a) | release any person liable for the payment of any of the Obligations, |
(b) | extend the time or otherwise alter the terms of payment of any of the Obligations, |
(c) | accept additional real or personal property of any kind as security therefor, whether evidenced by deeds of trust, mortgages, security agreements or any other instruments of security, or |
(d) | alter, substitute or release any property securing the Obligations. |
(ii) | Trustee may, at any time, and from time to time, upon the written request of Beneficiary |
(a) | consent to the making of any map or plat of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, |
(b) | join in granting any easement or creating any restriction thereon, |
(c) | join in any subordination or other agreement affecting this Deed of Trust or the lien or charge hereof, or |
(d) | reconvey, without any warranty, all or part of the Mortgaged Property. |
4.7. Inspection.
Upon reasonable notice to Grantor, Beneficiary may at any reasonable time or times make or cause to be made entry upon and inspections of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in person or by agent.
4.8. Reconveyance.
A. Upon the payment in full of all sums secured by this Deed of Trust and upon satisfaction of other conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, Beneficiary shall request Trustee to reconvey the Mortgaged Property and shall surrender this Deed of Trust and all notes evidencing indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust to Trustee.
B. Under the conditions referred to in subparagraph (A) above, and upon payment of its fees and any other sums owing to it under this Deed of Trust, Trustee shall reconvey
-27-
the Mortgaged Property without warranty to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. Such person or persons shall pay all costs of recordation, if any.
C. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.”
4.9. Interpretation.
A. Wherever used in this Deed of Trust, unless the context otherwise indicates a contrary intent, or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the word “Grantor” shall mean and include both Grantor and any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property, and the word “Beneficiary” shall mean and include not only the original Beneficiary hereunder but also any future owner and holder, including pledgees, of the Obligations secured hereby.
B. In this Deed of Trust whenever the context so requires the singular number includes the plural and conversely. Use of the term “including” shall mean “including, but not limited to.”
C. Specific enumeration of rights, powers and remedies of Trustee and Beneficiary and of acts which they may do and of acts to be done and not to be done by Grantor is not to be deemed to exclude or limit the general.
D. The captions, headings and arrangements used in this deed of trust are for convenience only and do not in any way affect, limit, amplify or modify the terms and provisions hereof.
E. No provision of this Deed of Trust shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party’s having or being deemed to have structured, drafted or dictated such provision.
4.10. Consent; Delegation to Sub-Agents.
The granting or withholding of consent by Beneficiary to any transaction as required by the terms hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to require consent to future or successive transactions. Wherever a power of attorney is conferred upon Beneficiary hereunder, it is understood and agreed that such power is conferred with full power of substitution, and Beneficiary may elect in its sole discretion to exercise such power itself or to delegate such power, or any part thereof, to one or more sub agents.
4.11. Successors and Assigns.
Subject to the provisions of Section 1.8 of this Deed of Trust, all of the grants, Obligations, covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions herein shall run with the land and shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of, the heirs, administrators, executors, personal representatives, successors, legatees, devisees and assigns of Grantor and the successors in trust of Trustee and the endorsees, transferees, successors and assigns of Beneficiary.
-28-
4.12. Governing Law.
Except as otherwise as expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, in all respects, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, this Deed of Trust and the Obligations arising hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Washington applicable to contracts made and performed in such state, without regard to the principles thereof regarding conflict of laws, and any applicable laws of the United States of America.
4.13. Substitution of Trustee.
A. Beneficiary may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and appoint a successor trustee, and upon such appointment, all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon become vested in such successor (the “Substitute Trustee”).
B. The Substitute Trustee shall be appointed by written instrument duly recorded in the county where the Mortgaged Property is located, which appointment may be executed by Beneficiary or in any manner permitted by applicable law.
C. Trustee may resign by written instrument executed by Trustee, containing reference to this Deed of Trust and its place of record, which, when recorded in the office in which this Deed of Trust is recorded, and when delivered to Beneficiary in accordance with Section 4.5 hereof, shall be conclusive proof of the proper appointment of such successor Trustee.
4.14. No Merger.
There shall be no merger of the lien created by this Deed of Trust with the fee estate in the Mortgaged Property, or any interest therein or portion thereof, by reason of the fact that the same person or entity may own or hold (a) the lien created by this Deed of Trust or any interest therein and (b) the fee estate in the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein or portion thereof; and no merger shall occur unless and until Beneficiary and Trustee shall join in a written instrument effecting such merger and shall duly record the same.
4.15. Consistency with Loan Agreement.
The parties hereto agree that all actions taken by the parties hereto and all interpretations of all terms and provisions hereof shall be taken or interpreted (as the case may be) in a manner consistent with the Loan Agreement.
4.16. Insurance Warning.
A. UNLESS GRANTOR PROVIDES BENEFICIARY WITH EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE AS REQUIRED UNDER THIS DEED OF TRUST, BENEFICIARY MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT GRANTOR'S EXPENSE TO PROTECT BENEFICIARY'S INTEREST. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, ALSO PROTECT GRANTOR'S INTEREST. IF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY BECOMES DAMAGED, THE COVERAGE BENEFICIARY PURCHASES MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM GRANTOR MAKES OR ANY CLAIM MADE AGAINST GRANTOR. GRANTOR MAY LATER CANCEL THIS COVERAGE
-29-
BY PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT GRANTOR HAS OBTAINED PROPERTY COVERAGE ELSEWHERE.
B. GRANTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY BENEFICIARY. THE COST OF THIS INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE INDEBTEDNESS. IF THE COST IS ADDED, THE DEFAULT INTEREST RATE WILL APPLY TO THIS ADDED AMOUNT. THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF COVERAGE MAY BE THE DATE GRANTOR'S PRIOR COVERAGE LAPSED OR THE DATE GRANTOR FAILED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF COVERAGE.
C. THE COVERAGE BENEFICIARY PURCHASES MAY BE CONSIDERABLY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN INSURANCE GRANTOR CAN OBTAIN ON GRANTOR'S OWN AND MAY NOT SATISFY ANY NEED FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE COVERAGE OR ANY MANDATORY LIABILITY INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
4.17. Washington Statutory Warning.
ORAL AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT, OR TO FOREBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER WASHINGTON LAW.
