Grantor shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Grantor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Grantor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.

PART II
ARTICLE 16 -- STATE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Section 16.1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Article 16 and the other terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust, the terms and conditions of this Article 16 shall control and be binding.
(a) Additional Remedy: If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may, at its option and without further notice, declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note, together with all accrued interest thereon and all other Debt, immediately due and payable and shall have the right to have Trustee sell the Property or any part of the Property at one or more public sales before the front door of the courthouse of the county in which the Property or any part of the Property is situated, to the highest bidder for cash (or credit upon the Debt if Lender is the successful bidder), and in bar of the right of redemption (statutory or otherwise) the equity of redemption, homestead, dower, elective or distributive share, any right of appraisement or valuation and all other rights and exemptions of every kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, in order to pay the Debt and all expenses of sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable attorney’s fees, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale at least three (3) different times in some newspaper published in the county in which the Property is located, the first of which publications shall be at least twenty (20) days previous to said sale. At any such public sale, Trustee may execute and deliver to the purchaser a conveyance of the Property or any part of the Property in fee simple. In the event of any sale under this Deed of Trust by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceedings or otherwise, the Property may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Lender in its sole discretion may elect, and if Lender so elects, Trustee or Lender may sell any personal property covered by this Deed of Trust at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Property is located. One or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers, until the entire Property is sold or the Debt is paid in full and the obligation fully satisfied. If the obligations are now or hereafter further secured by any chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments of lease or other security instruments, Lender at its option may exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security instruments or this Deed of Trust either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Lender may determine. Said sale may be adjourned by the Trustee, or his agent or successors, and reset at a later date without additional publication; provided that an announcement to that effect be made at the scheduled place of sale at the time and on the date the sale is originally set.
(b) Uniform Commercial Code.
(i) This Deed of Trust constitutes a “security agreement” as such term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to any part of the Property which may or might now or hereafter be or be deemed to be personal property, fixtures or property other than real estate (including all replacements thereof, additions thereto and substitutions therefor) (collectively, the “Personal Property Collateral”). All of Grantor’s right, title and interest in the Personal Property Collateral is hereby assigned to Lender to secure the payment of the Debt.
-28-
(ii) At any time after an Event of Default has occurred and shall be continuing, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, including without limitation the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the Personal Property Collateral or any part thereof. The remedies of Lender hereunder are cumulative and the exercise of any one or more of the remedies provided for herein, under applicable law or under the Uniform Commercial Code shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other remedies of the Lender, including having the Personal Property Collateral deemed part of the realty upon any foreclosure so long as any part of the obligations remain unsatisfied.
(iii) Grantor hereby authorizes Lender to record or cause to be recorded in the County in which the Property is located, as well as with the applicable offices of the State, such financing statements and fixture filings as shall be necessary in order to perfect and preserve the priority of Lender’s lien upon the Personal Property Collateral.
(c) Additional Waivers. Without limiting any other waivers contained herein, Grantor:
(i) waives any statutory right of redemption or equity of redemption which may become available to Grantor under law.
(ii) agrees, to the full extent permitted by law, that in case of a default on the part of Grantor hereunder, neither Grantor nor anyone claiming through or under Grantor hereunder will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, or the absolute sale of the Property, or the delivery of possession thereof immediately after such sale to the purchase at such sale, and Grantor, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives and renounces to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets subject to the security interest of this Deed of Trust marshalled upon any foreclosure or sale under the power herein granted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this waiver is intended to include a waiver of all homestead and exemption rights provided for by the Constitution and the laws of the United States and of any state, including but not limited to the equity of redemption and the statutory right of redemption and all rights of Grantor expressed in T.C.A. § 66-8-101, et seq., as the same may be amended from time to time.
(d) Secured Indebtedness Not Limited by Statements for Tax and Registration Authorities. Any legend appearing on the face hereof and any affidavit that may be submitted to recording authorities herewith pursuant to any requirement of taxation or registration authorities is included for the benefit of such authorities only and does not affect the terms of Lender’s agreement with Grantor as provided by this Deed of Trust and by other documents pertaining to the Debt or the priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust or any advances made hereunder.
(e) Street Address. The street address of the Property is 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000.
-29-
(f) Obligatory and Optional Advances. As used in this Deed of Trust, the terms “Obligatory Advance” and “Optional Advance” shall have the same meaning as used in T.C.A. § 00-00-000.
