If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Paragraph shall constitute additional security for the Secured Obligations.
(g)
The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents.
2.12
Compliance with Laws. Borrower shall observe, abide by, and comply with all statutes, ordinances, laws, orders, requirements or decrees relating to the Property enacted, promulgated or issued by any federal, state, county or local governmental authority or any agency or subdivision thereof having jurisdiction over Borrower or the Property. Borrower shall observe and comply with all conditions and requirements necessary to preserve and extend any and all rights, licenses, permits (including, but not limited to, zoning, variances, special exceptions and nonconforming uses), privileges, franchises and concessions that are applicable to the Property or that have been granted to or contracted for by Borrower in connection with any existing, presently contemplated or future use of the Property.
2.13
Maintenance of Permits. Borrower shall obtain, keep, and constantly maintain in full force and effect during the entire term of this Deed of Trust all certificates, licenses and permits necessary to keep the Property operating. Except as specifically provided for in this Deed of Trust, Borrower shall not assign, transfer or in any manner change such certificates, licenses or permits without first receiving the written consent of Lender.
2.14
Funds Held by Lender for Taxes, Insurance Premiums, and Other Charges. In order to more fully protect the security of this Deed of Trust, Borrower shall, upon the request of Lender, deposit with Lender, together with and in addition to each monthly payment due on account of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, an amount equal to one-tenth of the annual total of such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, and other charges (all as estimated by Lender in its sole discretion) so that, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date thereof, Lender shall be able to pay in full all such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, and other charges as the same shall become due, and Lender may hold without paying interest and commingle with its general funds the sums so deposited and apply the same to the payment of such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or other charges as they become due and payable. If at any time the funds so held by Lender are insufficient to pay such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or other charges as they become due and payable, Borrower shall immediately, upon notice and demand by Lender, deposit with Lender the amount of such deficiency, and the failure on the part of Borrower to do so shall entitle Lender, at its sole option, to make such payments in accordance with its right and pursuant to the conditions elsewhere provided in this Deed of Trust. Whenever any default exists under this Deed of Trust, Lender may, at its sole option but without an obligation so to do, apply any funds so held by it pursuant to this Section toward the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that said indebtedness may otherwise be adequately secured in such order and manner of application as Lender may elect.
-13-
2.15
Examination of Borrower’s Records. Borrower shall maintain complete and accurate books and records showing in detail the income and expenses of the Property, and shall permit Lender and its representatives to examine such books and records and all supporting vouchers and data during normal business hours and from time to time upon request by Lender, in such place as such books and records are customarily kept, and shall furnish to Lender, within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal year of Borrower, annual statements (income statements and a balance sheet) for the Borrower and the Property in a form acceptable to Lender and shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and shall include a rent roll, certified as true and correct by Borrower and showing in detail all income derived from and expenses incurred in connection with the ownership of the Property. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to require that the financial statements be audited and certified by a certified public accountant acceptable to Lender, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower.
3.
Representations and Warranties. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that:
3.1
Warranty of Title. Borrower has good title to the Property and has the right to mortgage, grant, bargain, sell, pledge, assign, warrant, transfer and convey the same and that Borrower possesses an unencumbered fee simple absolute estate in the Real Property and the Improvements and that it owns the Property free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and charges whatsoever except for real property taxes for years subsequent to 2009 (which are not yet due and payable) and those matters set forth in the Lender’s Policy of Title Insurance insuring the first priority lien of this Deed of Trust (the “Permitted Exceptions”).

7.1.6
Subject to any applicable law, the license granted to Borrower under Subsection 1.2 shall automatically be revoked and Lender may enter into or upon the Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Borrower and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and Borrower agrees to surrender possession of the Property and of such books, records and accounts to Lender upon demand, and thereupon Lender may (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Lender deems advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, xxx for, collect, and receive all Rents of the Property and every part thereof; (v) require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be occupied by Borrower; (vi) require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of the Secured Obligations, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other expenses in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Lender, its counsel, agents and employees.

Foreclosure by Power of Sale. If Lender elects to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein contained, Lender shall notify Trustee and shall deposit with the Trustee this Deed of Trust, the Note and such receipts and evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as Trustee may require.

to the Note, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, subject to any applicable law.
-18-
7.4
Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, cure the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Deed of Trust or collect the Secured Obligations, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Secured Obligations and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the default rate specified in the Note (the “Default Rate”), for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Secured Obligations and be secured by this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
7.5
Examination of Books and Records.

7.6
Other Rights.
7.6.1
The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Deed of Trust. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower to take any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending
-19-
7.6.2
The risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Lender’s possession.
7.6.3
Lender may resort for the payment of the Secured Obligations to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Secured Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Deed of Trust. The rights of Lender under this Deed of Trust shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
7.7
Lender’s Power. Lender may release or reconvey any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Deed of Trust, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release or reconveyance, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property. Without affecting the liability of any other person liable for the payment and/or performance of the Obligations and without in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Deed of Trust, Lender may, from time to time and without notice (i) release any person so liable; (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of any Secured Obligation; (iii) grant other indulgences; or (iv) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.
7.8
Right of Entry. Lender and its agents shall have the right upon prior written notice to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times upon notice to Borrower.
7.9
Acceptance of Trust; Powers and Duties of Trustee. Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of Trust is recorded. From time to time upon written request of Lender and presentation of this Deed of Trust, or a certified copy thereof, for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of any indebtedness or performance of any other Obligation, Trustee may, without liability therefor and without notice: (a) reconvey all or any part of the Property; (b) consent to the making of any map or plat of the Property; (c) join in granting any easement on the Property; (d) join in any declaration of covenants and restrictions; or (e) join in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge of this Deed of Trust. Nothing contained in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed to limit, impair or otherwise affect the rights of Trustee in any respect. Trustee is not obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other deed of trust or of any action or proceeding in which Borrower, Lender, or Trustee shall be a party unless brought by Trustee.
-20-
7.10
Substitution of Trustee. Lender may at any time, and from time to time, and without notice, replace and substitute a new trustee in place of the existing Trustee under this Deed of Trust, in the manner provided for under, and as allowed by, current Idaho law.
7.11
Reconveyance by Trustee. Upon written request of Lender stating that all sums secured hereby have been paid and upon surrender of this Deed of Trust to Trustee for cancellation and retention and upon payment by Borrower of Trustee’s fees, Trustee shall reconvey to Borrower, or the person or persons legally entitled thereto, without warranty, any portion of the Property then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.
8.
Indemnification. If Lender shall become a party either as plaintiff or as defendant, in any action, suit, appeal or legal proceeding (including, without limitation, foreclosure, condemnation, bankruptcy, administrative proceedings or any proceeding wherein proof of claim is by law required to be filed), hearing, motion or application before any court or administrative body in relation to the Property or the lien and security interest granted or created hereby or herein, or for the recovery or protection of said indebtedness or the Property, or for the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, Borrower shall save and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender on account thereof, including, but not limited to, Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees, title searches and abstract and survey charges, at all trial and appellate levels, and Borrower shall repay, on demand, all such costs and expenses, together with interest thereon until paid at the then applicable rate of interest of the Note plus ten (10) basis points; all of which sums, if unpaid, shall be added to and become a part of the indebtedness secured hereby.
9.
Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any provisions in the Note or in this Deed of Trust to the contrary, the total liability for payments in the nature of interest including but not limited to default interest and late payment charges shall not exceed the limits imposed by the laws of the State of Idaho or, if controlling, the United States relating to maximum allowable charges of interest. Lender shall not be entitled to receive, collect or apply, as interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, any amount in excess of the maximum lawful rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law. If Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. If the unpaid principal balance of such indebtedness has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to Borrower.
10.

All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been properly given (a) upon delivery, if delivered in person or by facsimile transmission with receipt acknowledged by the recipient thereof, (b) one (1) business day after having been deposited for overnight delivery with any reputable overnight courier service, or (c) three (3) business days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service and sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:
