The Beneficiary’s consent to any one transaction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the requirement to receive the Beneficiary’s consent to future or successive transactions.
1.19. Beneficiary’s Right to Cure. If the Trustor shall fail to materially comply with any of the covenants or obligations of this Deed of Trust such that an Event of Default has occurred hereunder, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement the Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, without further demand upon or notice to the Trustor, and without waiving or releasing the Trustor from any obligation contained in this Deed of Trust, perform such covenants and agreements, investigate and defend against such action or proceeding, and take such other action as the Beneficiary deems reasonably necessary to protect its interest in the Trust Property or this Deed of Trust. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Trustor agrees to repay upon demand all sums incurred by the Beneficiary in remedying any such failure, together with interest at the Default Rate.

The entering upon and taking possession of the Trust Property, the collection of any rents, issues and profits and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure or waive any default theretofore or thereafter occurring or affect any notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice. Notwithstanding the Beneficiary’s continuance in possession or receipt and application of rents, issues or profits, the Beneficiary shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to exercise every right provided for in this Deed of Trust or by law upon or after the occurrence of a default. Any of the actions referred to in this Section 2.2 may be taken by the Beneficiary at such time as the Beneficiary is so entitled pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and this Deed of Trust without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Secured Indebtedness.

The Beneficiary may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to enforce any of the covenants hereof.
e.
The Trustee may, and upon the request of Beneficiary shall, elect to cause the Trust Property or any part thereof to be sold as follows:
7
(1)
The Trustee may proceed as if all of the Trust Property were real property in accordance with subsection 2.2(e)(4) below, or the Trustee may elect to treat any of the Trust Property which consists of a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the Land without causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property and dispose of the same in accordance with subsection 2.2(e)(3) below, separate and apart from the sale of real property, the remainder of the Trust Property being treated as real property.
(2)
The Trustee may cause any such sale or other disposition to be conducted immediately following the expiration of any grace period, if any, herein provided or provided in the Credit Agreement or Notes secured hereby (or immediately upon the expiration of any redemption period required by law), or the Trustee may delay any such sale or other disposition for such period of time as the Trustee deems to be in its best interest. Should the Trustee desire that more than one such sale or other disposition be conducted, the Trustee may, at its option, cause the same to be conducted simultaneously, or successively on the same day, or at such different days or times and in such order as the Trustee may deem to be in its best interest.
(3)
Should the Trustee elect to cause any of the Trust Property to be disposed of as personal property as permitted in subsection 2.2(e)(1) above, it or Beneficiary may dispose of any part thereof in any manner now or hereafter permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or in accordance with any other remedy provided by law. Both the Trustor and the Beneficiary shall be eligible to purchase any part or all of such property at any such disposition. Any such disposition may be either public or private as the Trustee or the Beneficiary may so elect, subject to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Trustee or the Beneficiary shall give the Trustor at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or other disposition of such property or of the time at or after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is made, and if such notice is sent to the Trustor at the address above set forth, it shall constitute reasonable notice to the Trustor.
(4)
Should the Trustee elect to sell the Trust Property which is real property or which it has elected to treat as real property, upon such election, the Trustee shall give such notice of default and its election to sell as may then be required by applicable law. Thereafter, upon the expiration of such time and the giving of such notice of sale as may then be required by applicable law, the Trustee, at the time and place specified by such notice of sale, shall sell such Trust Property, or any portion thereof specified by the Trustee, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States. The Trustee may, and upon request of the Beneficiary shall, from time to time, postpone the sale by public announcement thereof at the time and place noticed therefor. If the Trust Property consists of several lots or parcels, the Trustee may designate the order in which such lots or parcels shall be offered for sale or sold. Any person, including the Trustor, the Trustee, or the Beneficiary may purchase at the sale. Upon any sale, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers, a deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, whereupon such purchaser or purchasers shall be led into immediate possession.
(5)
This instrument shall be effective as a mortgage as well as a deed of trust and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default may be foreclosed as to any of the Trust Property in any manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nebraska or of any other state in which any part of the Trust Property is situated, and any foreclosure suit may be brought by the Trustee or by the Beneficiary.

It is agreed that if the Beneficiary should institute a suit for the collection of the Notes or any other Secured Indebtedness and for the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary may at any time before the entry of a final judgment in said suit dismiss the same, and require the Trustee or his substitute or successor to sell the Trust Property in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust.
(6)
In the event of a sale or other disposition of any such property, or any part thereof, and the execution of a deed or other conveyance pursuant thereto, the recitals therein of facts, such as default, the giving of notice of default, and notice of sale, terms of sale, purchaser, payment of purchase money, and any other fact affecting the regularity or validity of such sale or disposition, shall be conclusive proof of the truth of such facts; and any such deed or conveyance shall be conclusive against all persons as to such facts recited herein.

Trustor’s Acknowledgment of Remedies. SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE TRUSTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES TO THE FORECLOSURE AND SALE OF THE TRUST PROPERTY BY ACTION PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE BENEFICIARY, BY EXERCISE OF THE POWER OF SALE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW (OR PURSUANT TO ANY SIMILAR OR REPLACEMENT STATUTES HEREAFTER ENACTED). The Trustor understands that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Beneficiary may also elect its rights under the Uniform Commercial Code and take possession of the Personal Property (as defined in this Deed of Trust) and dispose of the same by sale or otherwise in one or more parcels provided that at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of such disposition must be given, all as provided for by the Uniform Commercial Code, as hereafter amended or by any similar or replacement statute hereafter enacted. THE TRUSTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL; THAT BEFORE SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT THIS PARAGRAPH AND THE TRUSTOR’S RIGHTS WERE FULLY EXPLAINED BY SUCH COUNSEL AND THAT THE TRUSTOR UNDERSTANDS THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE RIGHTS WAIVED HEREBY AND THE EFFECT OF SUCH WAIVER.
3.2. Continued Priority. Any agreement hereafter made by the Trustor and the Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien or encumbrance.

3.3. Cumulative Rights. Each right, power or remedy herein conferred upon the Beneficiary is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied, now or hereafter arising, available to the Beneficiary, at law or in equity, or under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law, or under any other Loan Document, and each and every right, power and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so existing may be exercised from time to time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Beneficiary and shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at any time thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Beneficiary in the exercise of any right, power or remedy arising hereunder or arising otherwise shall impair any such right, power or remedy or the right of the Beneficiary to resort thereto at a later date or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default under this Deed of Trust.
3.4. Waiver. The Trustor hereby waives to the full extent lawfully allowed the benefit of any homestead, appraisement, evaluation, stay and extension laws now or hereafter in force. The Trustor hereby waives any rights available with respect to marshaling of assets so as to require the separate sales of any portion of the Trust Property, or as to require the Beneficiary or any other person to exhaust its remedies against a specific portion of the Trust Property before proceeding against the other and does hereby expressly consent to and authorize the sale of the Trust Property or any part thereof as a single unit or parcel.
3.5. Satisfaction of Deed of Trust/Reconveyance of Trust Property. When all Secured Indebtedness has been paid or if otherwise required to be released pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, then the Trustee, its successor or assigns, shall reconvey all of the Trust Property conveyed to the Trustee by the Trustor. Any part of the Trust Property may be conveyed at any time to the Trustor at the request of the Beneficiary without affecting the validity and priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust upon the remainder of the Trust Property.
3.6. Governing Law. THIS DEED OF TRUST SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE MATTERS RELATING ONLY TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION AND FORECLOSURE OF LIENS, AND ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AGAINST THE TRUST PROPERTY, WHICH MATTERS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEBRASKA.
3.7. Binding Effect. This Deed of Trust and each and every covenant, agreement and other provision hereof shall be binding upon the Trustor and its successors and assigns including without limitation each and every from time to time record owner of the Trust Property and any other person having an interest therein, shall run with the land and shall inure to the benefit of the Beneficiary and its successors and assigns. As used herein the words “successors and assigns” shall also be deemed to include the heirs, representatives, administrators and executors of any natural person who is a party to this Deed of Trust.
3.8. Severability and Survival. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provisions hereof shall not render any other provision, or provisions herein contained unenforceable or invalid. The foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the exercise of the power of sale under this Deed of Trust will not affect or limit any remedy of the Beneficiary on account of any breach by the Trustor of the terms of this Deed of Trust occurring prior to such foreclosure or sale, except to the extent of the amount bid at such foreclosure or sale.
3.9. Captions. The captions and headings of the various sections of this Deed of Trust are for convenience only and are not to be construed as confining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.

3.12. Duties and Obligations of Trustee. The Trustor agrees that: (a) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Deed of Trust and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth herein, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be imposed upon the Trustee; (b) no provision of this Deed of Trust shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds, or otherwise incur any financial obligation in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured of it; (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its own choosing and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in the respect of any actions taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; (d) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Deed of Trust. The Trustee hereby agrees with the Beneficiary that the Trustee will act for no consideration in routine matters (e.g., execution of partial release of security, extension agreements, modification agreements, or satisfactions) with respect to this Deed of Trust. In the event of foreclosure, the Trustee will serve for a Trustee’s commission agreeable to the Trustee and the Beneficiary. If the Beneficiary determines that there shall be a substitute Trustee for any reason, the Trustee will supply a recordable resignation at the request of the Beneficiary. The Trustee shall have the right, at its sole option and from time to time, to substitute one or more trustees for the Trustee named above, without notice to the Trustor. In the event there shall be more than one trustee, either trustee may act hereunder.

While hereby expressly reserving the priority of this Deed of Trust as established by law, the Trustee and the Beneficiary hereunder request that a copy of any notice of default and any notice of sale under any deed of trust recorded against the Property either prior to, or subsequent to the date this Deed of Trust is recorded be mailed to each at the addresses set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust.
THE TRUSTOR REPRESENTS, CERTIFIES, WARRANTS AND AGREES THAT THE TRUSTOR HAS READ ALL OF THIS DEED OF TRUST AND UNDERSTANDS ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS DEED OF TRUST. THE TRUSTOR ALSO AGREES THAT THE TRUSTEE’S AND THE BENEFICIARY’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THIS DEED OF TRUST SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD FAITH AND SHALL BE CONSIDERED REASONABLE FOR ALL PURPOSES.
