rents, incomes, profits, issues and revenues thereof, from whatever source derived; and
thereupon
it is hereby expressly covenanted and agreed that the court shall forthwith appoint
such receiver
with the usual powers and duties of receivers in like cases; and said appointment shall
be made by
the court as a matter of strict right to the Issuer, and without reference to the
adequacy or
inadequacy of the value of the Mortgaged Property, or to the solvency or insolvency of
the Company or any party defendant to such suit. In order to maintain and
preserve the
Mortgaged
Property and to prevent waste and impairment of its security, the Issuer may, at its
option, advance
monies to the appointed receiver and all such sums advanced shall become secured
obligations and
shall bear interest from the date of such advance at the Agreed Rate.
The Issuer shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any portion of
the obligations secured hereby, as the same become due, without regard to whether or not all
obligations secured hereby shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of the Issuer
thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, or commence foreclosure
proceedings under the power of sale under Section 6.2, for an event of default existing at the
time such earlier action was commenced.
Section 6.2. Power of Sale; Purchase by Issuer. If an event of default exists, then this Deed
of Trust shall remain in force, and the Mortgage Trustee, or a successor trustee as hereinafter
described, may proceed to sell the Mortgaged Real Property and any and every part thereof and, if
so directed by the Issuer, the Mortgaged Personal Property and any and every part thereof, at
public venue, to the highest bidder, at the customary place in the County in which the Land is
located, for cash, first giving the public notice required by law of the time, terms and place of
sale, and of the property to be sold, and upon such sale shall execute and deliver a deed of
conveyance and xxxx of sale of the property sold to the purchaser or purchasers thereof, and any
statement or recital of fact in such deed in relation to the non-payment of money hereby secured to
be paid, existence of the indebtedness so secured, notice of advertisement, sale, receipt of
money, and the happening of any of the aforesaid events whereby the successor trustee became
successor as herein provided, shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of such statement or
recital. The sale of any Mortgaged Personal Property shall be in accordance with the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State. The proceeds of such sale shall be applied as provided for to
Section 6.6.
Upon any sale pursuant to this Section or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a Judgment
or decree of foreclosure or sale, the Mortgage Trustee, the Issuer or any Bondholder may bid for
and purchase the property being sold, and, upon compliance with the
terms of sale the Issuer or
such Bondholder may hold, retain, possess and dispose of such property without further
accountability to the Company. In case of any sale as aforesaid, the Issuer shall be entitled for
the purpose of making settlement or payment for the property purchased to use and apply the Note,
by presenting the Note in order that there may be credited thereon the sum applicable thereto out
of the net proceeds of such sale in accordance with
Section 6.6, and thereupon the Issuer shall be
credited, on account of such purchase price payable by it, with said sum.

given to the Issuer or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No

Any moneys remaining after such application shall be disbursed to the person or
persons legally entitled thereto.
Section 6.7.
No Waiver. Any failure by the Issuer to insist upon the strict
performance by the Company of any of the terms and provisions hereof shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of any terms and provisions hereof, and the Issuer, notwithstanding any such
failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by the
Company of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust to be performed by
