Commencing on the Closing Date, the Seller shall cease using the Trade Name as a
company name, or trade name.
8.3. Non-Competition. The
Purchaser, Forsbergs, and Seller agree that the Purchase Price is fixed on the
basis that the transfer of the Transferred Assets to the Purchaser would provide

Seller’s working relationships with all of its distributors, sales
representatives, and customers are to a large extent personal to the Forsbergs,
and no guarantees can be made by Seller or Forsbergs that Purchaser will enjoy
the same relations. The Seller and Forsbergs acknowledge that it is proper for
the Purchaser to have assurance that the value of the Transferred Assets will
not be diminished by acts of the Seller or Forsbergs after the Closing Date.

Closing Date and ending five years from the Closing Date, it will not, within a
100 mile radius of the City of Xxxxxxx, Shoshone County, Idaho (i) directly or
indirectly compete with, or own, manage, operate, or control or participate in

person, partnership, corporation or other entity of any of the employees,
consultants, agents, or independent contractors of the Seller (for this purpose
the terms “employees”, “consultants”, “agents”, and “independent contractors”

time during the six (6) months preceding any solicitation in question), or (iii)
solicit, interfere with, or endeavor to entice away from the Seller, on behalf
of any person, partnership, corporation, or other entity, any customer of the

of interest and principal due under the Underlying Note) and shall
immediately comply with any notice sent to it by the holder of the

(1)
|
Provided
either or both of Grantor’s Notes are in default under the terms of this
Deed of Trust or of any Note secured hereby and provided further that

Underlying
|
-5-

in the event Grantor fails to make payment to Beneficiary as provided in
the Notes and this Deed of Trust, or in the event payments received by
Beneficiary are charged back as uncollected. This partial assumption is

otherwise.

interest, required to be paid to the holder of the Underlying Note and
Underlying Deed of Trust at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due dates
thereunder.
|
(4)
|
If
Grantor shall default in making any required payment of principal and/or
interest upon the Underlying Note, Beneficiary shall have the right to
advance the funds necessary to cure such default, and all funds so
advanced, together with interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum, shall
be credited against the next installment of interest and principal due
under the two Notes secured by this Deed of
Trust.

(including, without limitation, real estate taxes and insurance premiums)
which are required to be paid by Grantor pursuant to the Underlying Deed
of Trust and any other proof of payment which is required to be given

|
G.
|
Grantor
shall execute and deliver, on request of Beneficiary, such instruments
deemed useful or necessary to permit Beneficiary to cure any default under
the Underlying Note or Underlying Deed of Trust or to preserve the
interest of Beneficiary thereunder.
|
H.
|
Grantor
covenants and agrees that this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to include,
without the necessity of full repetition herein, all of the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Underlying Deed of Trust. A default under
this Deed of Trust shall constitute, ipso facto, a
default under the Underlying Deed of Trust so that in the event that
Beneficiary elects to exercise the remedy herein given of taking an
assignment of the Underlying Deed of Trust it will be entitled to
foreclose the remaining indebtedness on both the Underlying Deed of Trust
and this Deed of Trust. In the event of a conflict between the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Underlying Deed of Trust with
the
|
-6-
terms,
provisions and conditions of this Deed of Trust, the terms, provisions and
conditions of this Deed of Trust shall prevail and
control.

DISCLOSURE OF NON-CONFORMITY
WITH BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PERMITS

1.

When
the newest addition (tallest portion) to the welding shop located on the
Real Property was constructed during 1999, as conditions of the Business
Development Permit (building permit) approved by the City of Xxxxxxx
Planning and Zoning Department on February 16, 1999 (a copy of which is
attached), Seller and/or Forsbergs were required to install slats in its
existing chain link fence across the front of the Real Property (along the
southern edge of the Real Property running parallel to Sliver Valley
Road), construct a sidewalk or paved path across the front of the property
(along the southern edge of the Real Property running parallel to Sliver
Valley Road) within five years from approval of the building permit with
all adjacent landowners, and plant and maintain new landscaping (trees).
Trees were planted and have been maintained; however, to date, Seller
and/or Forsbergs have neither installed slats in the fence nor constructed
said paved path or sidewalk, but an occupancy permit was nonetheless
issued following completion of construction of the addition to the
building. Currently, there is no sidewalk or paved path
adjacent to the Real Property that would connect into a sidewalk or paved
path built along the southern edge of the Real Property, including
adjacent property on which Xxxx Xxxxx Motors Operates. Neither
Seller nor Forsbergs have had any communications with the City of Xxxxxxx
Planning and Zoning Commission regarding its failure to install slats in
its existing chain link fence or failure to construct a paved path or
sidewalk along the Real Property.

When
a permit for expanded use was applied for by one of the Seller’s and/or
Frosbergs’ tenants, as conditions of the Business Development Permit
(expanded use permit) approved by the City of Xxxxxxx Planning and Zoning
Department for expansion of the use of the current paint shed on the Real
Property to include a truck and car repair business operated by a former
tenant on June 24, 1999 (a copy of which is attached), Forsbergs and/or
Tenant were required to preserve existing trees, construct a sidewalk
within 4 years of approval of the permit, and install adequate site
lighting for the security of their patrons, property, and employees. While
Seller and Forsbergs have preserved existing trees, no sidewalk has been
constructed. Currently, there is no sidewalk or paved path adjacent to the
Real Property that would connect into a sidewalk or paved path built along
the southern edge of the Real Property, including adjacent property on
which Xxxx Xxxxx Motors Operates. Neither Seller nor Forsbergs have had
any communications with the City of Xxxxxxx Planning and Zoning Commission
regarding its failure to construct a sidewalk along the Real Properly
since August 2, 2004 (a copy of the letter received by Seller and
Forsbergs on that date is attached
hereto).
