Property; provided that Grantor shall have the right to contest the amount or

the Property by appropriate proceedings conducted in good faith and with due
diligence, in which event Grantor, upon prior written notice to Lender, may
postpone or defer payment of such lien, encumbrance or other charge so long as
such proceedings shall operate to prevent the collection of the lien,
encumbrance or other charge, and provided that neither the Property nor any part
thereof will, by reason of such postponement or deferment, be in danger of being
forfeited or lost, and that Grantor, before the date such lien, encumbrance or
other charge, becomes delinquent, gives such reasonable security as may be
requested by Xxxxxx to ensure payment thereof and prevent any forfeiture or loss
of the Property or any part thereof.
(e) Taxes, Assessments and Other Charges
Imposed on Lender. If, at any time after the date of this Deed
of Trust, any law is enacted or changed (including any interpretation thereof)
which subjects Lender to any increase in any tax (except federal income taxes),
assessment, or other charge, in any form measured by or based on any portion of

insurance coverage shall contain a “replacement cost endorsement” without
reduction for depreciation, and shall also contain loss of rents and/or business
interruption insurance coverage, a fluctuating value indorsement with a waiver
of the co-insurance clause (or an agreed amount indorsement with an inflation
guard endorsement), and shall contain such other indorsements as Lender may
reasonably request. All such indorsements shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender.

public liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property

insurance in an amount satisfactory to Lender and on terms satisfactory to

(iv) Insurance
against such similar or other hazards, casualties, liabilities and
contingencies, in such forms and amounts, as Lender may from time to time
reasonably require.
(b) Policies. Each
insurance policy will be in a company and form acceptable to
Lender. Each hazard insurance policy will include a Form 438BFU or
equivalent mortgagee endorsement in favor of and in form acceptable to
Lender. All required policies will provide for at least ten (10)
days’ written notice to Lender prior to the effective date of any cancellation
or material amendment, which term shall include any reduction in the scope or
limits of coverage. Grantor shall furnish to Lender the original of
each required insurance policy, or a certified copy thereof together with a
certificate of insurance setting forth the coverage, the limits of liability,
the carrier, the policy number and the expiration date. As security
for the Secured Obligations, Grantor hereby assigns to Lender all required
insurance policies, together with all proceeds thereof, rights thereto and all
unearned premiums returnable upon cancellation.
(c) Payment;
Renewals. Grantor shall promptly furnish to Lender all renewal
notices relating to insurance policies. Except as the same may
otherwise be paid from reserves under Article 3, Grantor
shall pay all premiums on insurance policies directly to the
carrier. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of
each such policy, Grantor shall furnish to Lender a renewal policy in a form
acceptable to Lender, together with evidence that the renewal premium has been
paid.
(d) Application of Insurance
Proceeds. In the event of any loss, Grantor shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the insurance carrier and Lender. Grantor
hereby authorizes Xxxxxx as Xxxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact to make proof of loss, to
adjust and compromise any claim, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in
Xxxxxx’s or Grantor’s name, any action relating to any claim, and to collect and
receive insurance proceeds; provided, however, that Lender shall have no
obligation to do so. Lender shall apply any insurance proceeds
received by it hereunder first to the payment of the costs and expenses incurred
in the collection of the proceeds and then, in its absolute discretion and
without regard to the adequacy of its security, to:
(i) The
payment of the Secured Obligations, whether then due and payable or
not. Any such application of proceeds to principal on the Loan shall
be without the imposition of any prepayment fee otherwise payable under the Loan
Documents, but shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the installment
payments under the Loan Documents, or change the amounts thereof;
or
(ii) The
reimbursement of Grantor, under Xxxxxx prescribed disbursement control
procedures, for the cost of restoration or repair of the
Property. Lender may, at its option, condition the reimbursement on
Xxxxxx’s approval of the plans and specifications of the reconstruction,
contractor’s cost estimates, architect’s certificates, waivers of liens, sworn
statements of mechanics and materialmen, and such other evidence of costs,
percentage completion of construction, application of payments and satisfaction
of liens as Lender may reasonably require.
DEED
OF TRUST

Except to
the extent that insurance proceeds are applied to payment of the Secured
Obligations, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Grantor from
restoring, repairing or maintaining the Property as provided in Section 2.4,
regardless of whether or not there are insurance proceeds available or whether
any such proceeds are sufficient in amount.
(e) Transfer of
Title. If the Property is sold pursuant to Article 8 or if
Lender otherwise acquires title to the Property, Lender shall have all of the
right, title and interest of Grantor in and to any insurance policies and
unearned premiums thereon and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage
to the Property prior to such sale or
acquisition.
(f) Notice
Under ORS 746.201 — WARNING.
Unless
Borrower provides Lender with evidence of insurance coverage as required by this
Deed of Trust, Lender may purchase insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect
Xxxxxx’s interest. This insurance may, but need not, also protect
Xxxxxxxx’s interest. If the Property is damaged, the coverage
purchased by Lender may not pay any claim made by Borrower or any claim made
against Borrower. Borrower may later cancel the coverage obtained by
Lender by providing evidence that it has provided the insurance coverage
required by this Deed of Trust.
Borrower
is responsible for the cost of any insurance obtained by Xxxxxx. The
cost of that insurance may be added to the Obligations secured by this Deed of
Trust. If the cost is added the Secondary Rate will apply to the
added amount. The effective date of coverage may be the date
Borrower’s prior coverage lapsed or the date Borrower failed to provide proof of
coverage.
The
coverage purchased by Lender may be considerably more expensive than insurance
Borrower may be able to obtain on its own and may not satisfy the need for
property damage coverage or any mandatory liability insurance requirements
imposed by applicable law.
2.4 Preservation
and Maintenance of Property; Right of Entry.
(a) Preservation and
Maintenance. Grantor represents and warrants that the
Improvements are free from damage caused by fire or other
casualty. Grantor shall (i) not commit or suffer any waste or permit
any impairment or deterioration of the Property, (ii) not abandon the Property,
(iii) restore or repair promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner all or any
part of the Property to the equivalent of its original condition, or such other
condition as Lender may approve in writing, in the event of any damage, injury
or loss thereto, whether or not insurance proceeds are available to cover in
whole or in part the costs of such restoration or repair, (iv) keep the
Property, including improvements, fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances
thereon, in good condition and repair and shall replace fixtures, equipment,
machinery and appliances of the Property when necessary to keep such items in
good condition and repair, and (v) generally operate and maintain the
Property in a commercially reasonable manner..
DEED
OF TRUST
Page 8 of
24
(b) Alterations. None
of the Improvements shall be structurally altered,
removed or demolished, in whole or in part, without Xxxxxx’s prior written
consent, nor shall any fixture or chattel covered by this Deed of Trust and
adapted to the use
and enjoyment of the Property be removed at any time without like consent
unless actually
replaced by an article of equal suitability which is owned by Grantor free and
clear of any lien
or security interest.
(c) Right of
Entry. Lender is hereby authorized to enter the Property,
including the interior of any structures, at reasonable times and after
reasonable notice, for the purpose of inspecting the Property to determine
Grantor’s compliance with this Section.
2.5 Parking. If
any part of any vehicle parking areas included within the Property is
taken by condemnation, and before any parking areas are diminished for any other
reason, Grantor shall take all actions as are necessary to provide substitute
parking facilities in kind, size and location as necessary to comply with all
governmental zoning and other regulations and all leases. Before
making any contract for substitute parking facilities, Grantor shall furnish to
Lender satisfactory assurance of completion thereof free of liens and in
conformity with all government zoning, and other regulations.
2.6 Use of
Property. Grantor shall comply with all laws, ordinances,
regulations and requirements of any governmental body, and all other covenants,
conditions and restrictions applicable to the Property, and pay all fees and
charges in connection therewith. Unless required by applicable law or
unless Xxxxxx has otherwise agreed in writing, Grantor shall not allow changes
in the use for which all or any part of the Property was intended at the time
this Deed of Trust was executed. Grantor shall not initiate or
acquiesce in a change in the zoning classification of the Property without
Xxxxxx’s prior written consent.
2.7 Condemnation.
(a) Proceedings. Grantor
shall promptly notify Lender of any action or proceeding relating to any
condemnation or other taking (including without limitation any change in the
grade of the Property), whether direct or indirect, of the Property or part
thereof or interest therein, and Grantor shall appear in and prosecute any such
action or proceeding unless otherwise directed by Xxxxxx in
writing. Grantor authorizes Xxxxxx, at Xxxxxx’s option, as
attorney-in-fact for Grantor, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in Xxxxxx’s
or Grantor’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any such condemnation or
other taking, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such
condemnation or other taking. All awards, payments, damages, direct,
consequential and otherwise, claims, and proceeds thereof, in connection with
any such condemnation or other taking, or for conveyances in lieu of
condemnation, are hereby assigned to Xxxxxx, and all proceeds of any such
awards, payments, damages or claims shall be paid to Lender.
(b) Application of Condemnation
Proceeds. Lender shall apply any such proceeds in the
manner and
upon the terms and
conditions set forth in Section 2.3(d) relating to the application of
insurance proceeds.
2.8 Protection
of Xxxxxx’s Security. Grantor shall give notice to Lender of
and shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect the
Property, the interests of Lender or Trustee therein, or the rights or remedies
of Lender or Trustee under the Loan Documents. If any such action or
proceeding is commenced, or Grantor fails to perform any obligation under the
Loan Documents, Lender or Trustee may, at their option, make any appearances,
disburse any sums, make any entries upon the Property, and take any actions as
may be necessary or desirable to protect or enforce the security of this Deed of
Trust, remedy any failure by Borrower or Grantor to perform its obligations
under the Loan Documents (and without waiving such default), or otherwise
protect Lender’s or Trustee’s interests. Grantor shall pay all
losses, damages, fees, costs, and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx and Trustee in
taking such actions; including without limitation reasonable legal
fees.

OF TRUST

24
2.9 Reimbursement
of Xxxxxx’s and Trustee’s Expenses. All amounts disbursed by
Xxxxxx and Trustee
pursuant to Section 2.8 or any
other provision of this Deed of Trust, with
interest thereon, shall be additional indebtedness secured by this Deed of
Trust. All such amounts shall be immediately due and payable and bear
interest from the
date of disbursement at the lesser of the default rate under the Loan Documents,
or the maximum rate
permitted by law.
2.10 Books and
Records; Financial Information. Grantor shall keep and
maintain at Grantor’s address stated above, or such other place as Lender may
approve in writing, books of accounts and records adequate to reflect correctly
the results of the operation of the Property, and copies of all written
contracts, leases and other instruments which affect the
Property. Such, books, records, contracts, leases and other
instruments shall be subject to examination, inspection and copying at any
reasonable time by Xxxxxx. Grantor shall furnish to Lender within
thirty (30) days after Xxxxxx’s request, a rent roll for the Property, certified
by Grantor, showing the name of each tenant, the space occupied, the lease expiration date,
the monthly rent, the date to which rent has been paid, and any deposit Grantor
is holding, and such other financial statements and financial information
related to Grantor and/or the Property as Lender may request from time to
time.
ARTICLE

RESERVES
3.1 Deposits. If
required by Lender, Grantor shall, at the time of making each monthly
installment payment under the Loan Documents, deposit with Lender a sum, as
estimated by Xxxxxx, equal to the taxes and special assessments next due on the
Property, and the premiums that will next become due on insurance policies as
may be required under this Deed of Trust, less all sums already deposited
therefor, divided by the number of months to elapse before two (2) months prior
to the date when such taxes, special assessments and premiums will become
delinquent. Lender may require Grantor to deposit with Lender, in
advance, such other sums for other taxes, assessments, premiums, charges and
impositions in connection with Grantor or the Property as Lender reasonably
deems necessary to protect Xxxxxx’s interests (“Other
Impositions”). Such sums for Other Impositions shall be
deposited in a lump sum or in periodic installments, at Xxxxxx’s
option. If required by Xxxxxx, Grantor shall promptly deliver to
Lender all bills and notices with respect to any taxes, assessments, premiums
and Other Impositions. Unless Grantor and Xxxxxx otherwise agree in
writing, Lender shall not be required to pay Grantor any interest, earnings or
profits on any sums deposited with Lender. All sums deposited with
Lender under this Section 3.1 are
hereby pledged as security for the Secured Obligations.
3.2 Application
of Deposits. All such deposited sums shall be held by Lender
and applied in such order as Lender elects to pay such taxes, assessments,
premiums and Other Impositions or, upon any Event of Default, may be applied in
whole or in part, to the Secured Obligations. The arrangement
provided for in this Article 3 is solely
for the added protection of Xxxxxx and entails no responsibility on Xxxxxx’s
part beyond the allowing of due credit, without interest, for the sums actually
received by it. Upon any assignment of this Deed of Trust by Xxxxxx,
any funds on hand shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of
Lender with respect thereto shall terminate. Each transfer of the
Property in accordance with Article 4 below shall
automatically transfer to the transferee all rights of Grantor with respect to
any funds deposited hereunder. Upon payment in full of the Secured
Obligations, Lender shall promptly refund to Grantor the remaining balance of
any deposits then held by Lender.
DEED
OF TRUST
Page 10 of

3.3 Adjustments
to Deposits. If the total deposits held by Lender exceeds the
amount deemed necessary by Lender to provide for the payment of such taxes,
assessments, premiums and Other Impositions, such excess shall, provided there
is no Event of Default or any event which would constitute an Event of Default

Impositions, Grantor shall promptly deposit the deficiency with Lender after
receipt of written demand from Lender.
3.4 Conditional
Waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary shall not
require the payment of reserves as provided in this Article until a delinquency
occurs in the payment of such taxes, assessments, premium and Other Impositions,
or the occurrence
of an Event of Default.

(b) Any
and all other property now or hereafter described on any Uniform Commercial Code
Financing Statement
naming Grantor as Debtor and Lender as Secured Party and affecting property in
any way connected with the use and enjoyment of the Property (any and all such
other property constituting Property for purposes of this Deed of Trust); and
Grantor hereby grants Lender a security interest in all property described in
clauses (a) and (b) above as security for the Secured
Obligations. Grantor and Xxxxxx agree, however, that neither the
foregoing grant of a security interest nor the filing of any such

that everything used in connection with the production of income from the Property, or adapted
for use therein, or which is described or reflected in this Deed of Trust, is

photographic copy or other reproduction of this Deed of Trust or any financing

Rights and Remedies. With respect to the property subject to
the foregoing security interest, Lender shall have all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, and as provided
herein, including without limitation the right to cause such Property to be sold
by Trustee under the power of sale granted by this Deed of Trust, and as
provided by law. In exercising its remedies, Lender may proceed
against the items of real property and any items of personal property separately
or together and in any order whatsoever without in any way affecting the
availability of Xxxxxx’s remedies. Upon demand by Xxxxxx following an
Event of Default hereunder, Grantor will assemble any items of personal property
and make them available to Lender at the Property. Lender shall give
Grantor at least five (5) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of
any public sale or other disposition of such Property or of the time of or after
which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. Any person permitted by
law to purchase at any such sale may do so. Such
Property may be sold at any one or more public or private sales as permitted by

Financing Statement. Grantor warrants and represents to Lender
that the name and address of Grantor set out on the first page of this Deed of
Trust are complete and accurate, and Grantor authorizes Lender to file a

ASSIGNMENT
OF RENTS AND LEASES; LEASES OF PROPERTY;
APPOINTMENT
OF RECEIVER, XXXXXX IN POSSESSION
6.1 Assignment
of Rents and Leases. As an absolute
assignment and not as additional security for the Secured Obligations, Grantor
hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all right,
title and interest of Grantor in and to: any and all present and future leases,
subleases, and other agreements for the occupancy or use of all
or any part of the Property, and any and all extensions, renewals and
replacements thereof (“Leases”);
all cash or security deposits, advance rentals and deposits of a similar nature
under the Leases; any and all Lease guarantees; and all rents, issues, profits
and revenues (“Rents”)
now due or which may become due or to which Grantor may now or shall hereafter become entitled or may demand or claim
(including Rents coming due during any redemption period), arising or issuing
from or out of any and all Leases, including without limitation minimum,
additional, percentage and deficiency rents and liquidated damages.
DEED
OF TRUST
Page 12 of

6.2 Collection
of Rents. Prior to any Event of Default hereunder, Grantor
shall have a license to, and shall, collect and receive all Rents of the
Property as trustee for the benefit of Lender and Grantor, apply the Rents so
collected first to the payment of taxes, assessments and other charges on the
Property prior to delinquency, second to the cost of insurance, maintenance and
repairs required by the terms of this Deed of Trust, third to the costs of
discharging any obligation or liability of Grantor under the Leases, and fourth to
the Secured Obligations, with the balance, if any, to the account of Grantor
provided there is no Event of Default. Upon delivery of written
notice by Xxxxxx to Grantor of an Event of Default hereunder and stating that
Lender exercises its rights to the Rents, and without the
necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the
Property in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Xxxxxx shall
immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents from the Property as the same become due and
payable including without limitation Rents then due and unpaid, and all such
Rents shall immediately upon delivery of such notice be held by Grantor as
trustee for the benefit of Xxxxxx
only. Upon delivery of such written notice by Xxxxxx, Grantor hereby
agrees to direct each tenant or occupant of the Property to pay all Rents to
Lender on Xxxxxx’s written demand therefor, without any liability on the part of said tenant or
occupant to inquire further as to the existence of a default by
Grantor. Grantor hereby authorizes Xxxxxx as Xxxxxxx’s
attorney-in-fact to make such direction to tenants and occupants upon Grantor’s
failure to do so as required herein. Payments made to Lender by
tenants or occupants shall, as to such tenants and occupants, be in discharge of
the payors’
obligations to Grantor. Lender may exercise, in Lender’s or Grantor’s
name, all rights and remedies available to Grantor with respect to collection of
Rents. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as obligating
Lender to
perform any of
Grantor’s obligations under any of the Leases.
6.3 Grantor’s
Representations and Warranties. Grantor hereby represents and
warrants to Lender that Grantor has not executed and will
not execute any other assignment of said Leases or Rents, that Grantor has not
performed and will not perform any acts and has not
executed and will not execute any instrument which would prevent Lender from
exercising its rights under this Article 6, and that
at the time of
execution of this Deed of Trust there has been no anticipation or prepayment of
any of the Rents of
the Property for more than two (2) months prior to the due dates
thereof. Grantor further represents and warrants to Lender that all existing Leases
are in good standing and there is no default thereunder, whether by Grantor or
lessee, and that, to Grantor’s knowledge, there is no event or condition
which, with notice
or the passage of time or both, would be a default
thereunder. Grantor shall execute and deliver to Xxxxxx such further
assignments of
rents and leases of the Property as Lender may from time to time
request.
6.4 Leases of
the Property. Grantor shall comply with and observe
Xxxxxxx’s obligations as landlord under all Leases and will do all that is
necessary to preserve all Leases in force and free from any right of
counterclaim, defense or setoff. At Lender’s request, Grantor shall
furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases now existing or hereafter made
and all Leases hereafter entered into will be on a form and in substance
satisfactory to Lender. All commercial Leases will specifically
provide that the tenant attorns to any person succeeding to the interest of
Grantor upon any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or conveyance in lieu
thereof, such attornment shall be in such form as Lender may approve and shall
provide that Tenant shall not have the right of set off or defense to payment of
rents for any event or act that occurred prior to such successor obtaining title
to Grantor’s interest except to the extent such event or act is continuing at
the time such successor obtains such title. Tenant shall also agree to
execute such further evidences of attornment as Xxxxxx may from time to time
request. Without Xxxxxx’s written consent, Grantor shall not collect
or accept payment of any Rents of the Property more than two (2) months prior to
the due dates thereof.

6.5 Lender in
Possession; Appointment of Receiver. Upon any Event of Default
hereunder, Xxxxxx may, in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver,
regardless of the adequacy of Xxxxxx’s security, enter upon and take and
maintain full control of the Property in order to perform all acts necessary and
appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof in the same manner and to
the same extent as Grantor could do the same, including without limitation the
execution, enforcement, cancellation and modification of Leases, the collection
of all Rents of the Property, the removal and eviction of tenants and other
occupants, the making of alterations and repairs to the Property, and the
execution and termination of contracts providing for management or maintenance
of the Property, all on such terms as are deemed best by Xxxxxx to protect the
security of this Deed of Trust. From and after the occurrence of any
such Event of Default, if any owner of the Property shall occupy the Property or
part thereof such owner shall pay to Lender in advance on the first day of each
month a reasonable rental for the space so occupied, and upon failure so to do
Lender shall be entitled to remove such owner from the Property by any
appropriate action or proceedings. Following an Event of Default
hereunder, Xxxxxx shall be entitled (regardless of the adequacy of Xxxxxx’s
security) to the appointment of a receiver, Grantor hereby consenting to the
appointment of such receiver. Said receiver may serve without bond
and may be Lender or an employee of Xxxxxx. The receiver shall have,
in addition to all the rights and powers customarily given to and exercised by
such receivers, all the rights and powers granted to Lender in this
Article. Lender or the receiver shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee
for so managing the Property.
6.6 Application
of Rents. All Rents collected subsequent to delivery of
written notice by Xxxxxx to Grantor of an Event of Default hereunder may be
applied first to the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the
Property and collecting the Rents, including without limitation attorneys’ fees,
receiver’s fees, premiums on receiver’s bonds, costs of maintenance and repairs
to the Property, premiums on insurance policies, taxes, assessments and other
charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation or
liability of Grantor under the Leases, and then to the Secured
Obligations. Lender or the receiver shall be liable to account only
for those Rents actually received. Lender shall not be liable to
Grantor, anyone claiming under or through Grantor or anyone having an interest
in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Lender under this
Article.
6.7 Deficiencies. To
the extent, if any, that the costs of taking control of and managing the
Property, collecting the Rents, and discharging obligations and liabilities of
Grantor under the Leases, exceed the Rents of the Property, the excess sums
expended for such purposes shall be indebtedness secured by this Deed of
Trust. Such excess sums shall be payable upon demand by Lender and
shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the greater of the default
rate under the Loan Documents, or the maximum rate permitted by
law.
6.8 Lender
Not Mortgagee in Possession. Nothing herein shall constitute
Lender a “mortgagee in possession” prior to its actual entry upon and taking
possession of the Property. Entry upon and taking possession by a
receiver shall not constitute possession by Xxxxxx.
DEED
OF TRUST
Page 14 of

6.9 Enforcement. Lender
may enforce this
assignment without first resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral
for the Secured Obligations.
6.10 Prior
Rights. If Xxxxxx has approved a prior deed of trust or
mortgage as part of the approved Permitted Exceptions on the Property, then
Xxxxxx’s rights under this Article shall be subject to and subordinate to the
rights, if any, of the lender(s) holding such prior rights under such prior
lien(s), to the extent such rights are legally valid, enforceable and enforced
by such lender(s).

designate their order of sale or may elect to sell all of them as an
entirety. The Property, real, personal and mixed, may be sold in one

or deeds conveying the Property sold, but without any covenant or warranty,
express or implied, and the recitals in the Trustee’s deed showing that the sale

Third: Payment
of all other Secured Obligations in any order that the Lender
chooses.
Fourth: The
remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled to it.
8.4 Waiver of
Order of Sale and Marshalling. Lender shall have the right to
determine the order in which any or all portions of the secured indebtedness are
satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of any remedies provided
herein. Grantor, any party who consents to this Deed of Trust and any
party who now or hereafter acquires a security interest in the Property and who
has actual or constructive notice hereof, hereby waives any and all right to

remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein, or to direct the order
in which any of the Property will be sold in the event of any sale under this
Deed of Trust.

redemption from such sale.

8.7 Foreclosure
Subject to Tenancies. Lender shall have the right at its
option to foreclose this Deed of Trust subject to the rights of any tenant or
tenants of the Property.
8.8 Evasion
of Prepayment Terms. If any Event of Default has occurred, a
tender of payment of the indebtedness secured hereby at any time prior to or at
a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale of the Property by Grantor, or
anyone on behalf of Grantor, shall constitute an evasion of any prepayment terms
of the Loan Documents and shall constitute a voluntary prepayment thereunder and
any such tender shall include any prepayment premium required under the Loan
Documents.
8.9 Remedies
Cumulative. To the extent permitted by law, every right and
remedy provided in this Deed of Trust is distinct and cumulative to all other
rights or remedies under this Deed of Trust or afforded by law or equity or any

Loan Documents, or the maximum rate permitted by law.

GENERAL
9.1 No
Offset. Grantor’s obligation to timely pay and perform all
obligations under the Loan, this Deed of Trust, and the other Loan Documents
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any event or
circumstance, including without limitation any setoff, counterclaim, abatement,
suspension, recoupment, deduction, defense or any other right that Grantor or
any guarantor may have or claim against Lender or any other person or
entity. The foregoing shall not constitute a waiver of any claim or
demand which Grantor or any guarantor may have in damages or otherwise against
Lender or any other person or entity; provided that Grantor shall maintain a
separate action thereon.
9.2 Application
of Payments. Except as applicable law or this Deed of Trust
may otherwise provide, all payments received by Lender on the Loan or this Deed

of Trust; principal of such advances; amounts payable to Lender by Xxxxxxx under

person or persons legally entitled thereto. The grantee in any
reconveyance may be described as the “person or persons legally entitled
thereto,” and the recitals therein of any matters or facts shall be conclusive
proof of the truthfulness thereof. Such person or persons shall pay
Trustee’s reasonable costs incurred in so reconveying the Property.

Trustee. In accordance with
applicable law, Xxxxxx may from time to time appoint a successor trustee to any
Trustee appointed hereunder. Without conveyance of the Property, the

9.5 Lenders
Powers. Without affecting the liability of any person for
payment or performance of the Secured Obligations or any of Lender’s rights or
remedies, Lender, at its option, may extend the time for payment of the
indebtedness secured hereby or any part thereof, reduce payment thereon, release
anyone liable on any of said indebtedness, accept a renewal note or notes
therefor, modify the terms and time of payment of the indebtedness, release the
lien of this Deed of Trust on any part of the Property, take or release other or
additional security, release or reconvey or cause to be released or reconveyed
all or any part of the Property, or consent and/or cause Trustee to consent to
the making of any map or plat of the Property, consent or cause Trustee to
consent to the granting of any easement or creating any restriction on the
Property or join or cause Trustee to join in any subordination or other
agreement affecting this Deed of Trust or the lien or charge
hereof. Grantor shall pay Lender a reasonable service charge,
together with such title insurance premiums and attorneys’ fees as may be
incurred at Lender’s option, for any such action if taken at Grantor’s
request.
9.6 Subrogation. Lender
shall be subrogated for further security to the lien, although released of
record, of any and all encumbrances discharged, in whole or in part, by the
proceeds of the Loan or any other indebtedness secured hereby.
9.7 Limitation
On Interest and Charges. Interest, fees and charges collected
or to be collected in connection with the indebtedness secured
hereby shall not exceed the maximum, if any, permitted by any applicable
law. If any such law is interpreted so that said interest, fees
and/or charges would exceed any such maximum and Grantor is entitled to the
benefit of such law, then such interest, fees and/or charges shall be reduced by
the amount necessary to reduce the same to the permitted maximum, and any sums
already paid to Lender which exceeded the permitted maximum will be
refunded. Lender may choose to make the refund either by treating the
payments, to the extent of the excess, as prepayments of principal or by making
a direct payment to the person(s) entitled thereto. No prepayment
premium shall be assessed on prepayments under this Section. The
provisions of this Section shall control over any inconsistent provision of this
Deed of Trust or any other Loan Documents.

OF TRUST

9.8 Additional
Documents: Power of Attorney. Grantor, from time to time,
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender upon request, and hereby
irrevocably appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge,
deliver and if appropriate file and record, such security agreements,
assignments for security purposes, assignments absolute, financing statements,
affidavits, certificates and other documents, in form and substance satisfactory
to Lender, as Lender may request in order to perfect, preserve, continue, extend
or maintain the assignments herein contained, the lien and security interest
under this Deed of Trust, and the priority thereof. Grantor shall pay
to Lender upon request therefor all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the preparation, execution, recording and filing of any such
document.
9.9 Waiver of
Statute of Limitations. To the full extent Grantor may do so,
Grantor hereby waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a
defense to the enforcement of the lien of this Deed of Trust or to any, action
brought to enforce the Loan Documents or any other obligation secured by this
Deed of Trust.
9.10 Forbearance
By Lender Not a Waiver. Any forbearance by Xxxxxx in
exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable
law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy,
and no waiver by Lender of any particular default shall constitute a waiver of
any other default or of any similar default in the future. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the acceptance by Xxxxxx of payment of
any sum secured by this Deed of Trust after the due date thereof shall not be a
waiver of Xxxxxx’s right to either require prompt payment when due of all other
sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt
payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or
other liens or charges by Lender shall not be a waiver of Xxxxxx’s right to
accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust, nor
shall Xxxxxx’s receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages under Sections 2.3 and 2.7
hereof operate to cure or waive any default in payment of sums secured by this
Deed of Trust.
9.11 Waiver of
Jury Trial. XXXXXX AND GRANTOR WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS DEED
OF TRUST AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHERWISE RELATING THERETO OR ARISING
FROM THE LENDING RELATIONSHIP SECURED HEREBY, AND EACH AGREES THAT ANY SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A
JURY.

discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by
the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, discharge or
termination is sought.

given on the date delivered in the case of personal delivery or, if mailed,
