3.Any and all other indebtedness now owing or which may hereafter be owing by Borrower to Lender, now existing or hereafter coming into existence however and whenever incurred or evidenced, whether express or implied, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent or due or to become due and all renewals extensions substitutions modifications and consolidations thereof; and
1.Any and all obligations and covenants of Borrower under any other document, instrument or agreement now or hereafter evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Note secured hereby (the Note, this Deed of Trust, that certain Assignment of Leases and Rents, that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement, any Escrow Agreement or Holdback Agreement, that certain Borrower’s Affidavit, each of the foregoing being dated of even date herewith, the UCC-1 Financing Statements, and any amendments or modifications thereto or replacements or substitutions thereof and all of such other documents, instruments and agreements are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the “Loan Documents”), and all costs of collection, including Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees.

-3-
hourly rates as opposed to any statutory presumption specified by any statute then in effect in the state where the Property is located.

Article 1.ACOVENANTS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS
Borrower hereby further covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:
1.1Payment of Indebtedness, Covenants and Warranties.
Borrower will pay the Note according to the terms thereof and will pay all other sums now or hereafter secured hereby at the time and in the manner provided under the Note, this Deed of Trust, any instrument evidencing a future advance and any other Loan Document and Borrower will otherwise perform, comply with and abide by each and every stipulation, agreement, condition and covenant contained in the Note, this Deed of Trust and every other Loan Document and any other agreement with respect to the Property to which Borrower is a party.
Borrower shall protect, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and court costs) imposed upon or incurred by Lender by reason of this Deed of Trust or in exercising, performing, enforcing, or protecting its rights, title, or interests set forth herein, and any claim or demand whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligation or undertaking to be performed or discharged by Lender under this Deed of Trust and including any claims of Lender’s negligence or strict liability, but excluding Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. In addition, Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall:
(1)not initiate, join in or consent to any change in any covenant, easement, or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property, or any part thereof, without Lender’s prior written consent;
(2)not take any action or fail to take any action which will result in any lien or encumbrance upon the Property or any imposition affecting the Note or this Deed of Trust; and
(3)indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any and all costs, damages or liabilities resulting from, arising out of, or related to, the creation or existence of liens, impositions or encumbrances (other than the Permitted Encumbrances) by or against Borrower or Borrower’s predecessor in title, or the Property.
-4-
1.2Taxes, Liens and Other Charges.
A.In the event of the passage of any law, order, rule or regulation subsequent to the date hereof, in any manner changing or modifying the taxation of mortgages or security agreements or debts secured thereby or the manner of collecting taxes so as to affect Lender adversely, Borrower shall promptly pay any such tax on or before the due date thereof. If Borrower fails to make such prompt payment or if, in the opinion of Lender, any such law, order, rule or regulation prohibits Borrower from making such payment or would penalize Lender if Borrower makes such payment or if, in the opinion of Lender, the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, then the entire balance of the Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and all accrued interest thereon shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable.
B.Borrower shall pay, at least five (5) days before delinquency, all taxes, levies, license fees, permit fees, liens, judgments, assessments and all other expenses, fees and charges (in each case whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, or foreseen or unforeseen) of every character whatsoever now or hereafter levied, assessed, confirmed or imposed on, or with respect to, or which may be a lien upon, the Property, or any part thereof, or any estate, right, or interest therein, or upon the rents, issues, income or profits thereof, or incurred in connection with the Note, the Indebtedness or any of the Loan Documents, and all premiums on policies of insurance covering, affecting, or relating to the Property, as required pursuant to Paragraph 1.3 hereof, and Borrower shall submit to Lender such evidence of the due and punctual payment of all such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other fees and charges as Lender may require.
C.Borrower shall not suffer any mechanic’s, materialmen’s, laborer’s, statutory or other lien to be created, filed of record or to remain outstanding upon all or any part of the Property and shall remove the same within thirty (30) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith and with all diligence the existence, amount or validity of any such liens, provided (i) Borrower complies with all requirements of any such contest, (ii) Borrower places adequate security, satisfactory to Lender, with Lender as part of the appeal process, and (iii) Borrower gives prior written notice of its intent to contest to Lender.
A.Borrower shall, at its expense, procure for, deliver to and maintain for the benefit of Lender until the Indebtedness is fully repaid, original, fully paid insurance policies (or if such policy is a “blanket” policy which includes land, improvements, personalty, or income other than the Property or income derived from the Property, a certified copy of such blanket policy and an original certificate from the insurer evidencing the allocation of coverage to the Property and the income from the Property), providing the following types of insurance relating to the Property, issued by insurance companies with a Best’s rating of “A” or better and an FSC rating of X or better, in such amounts, in such form and content and with such expiration dates as are approved by Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, such policies to provide that the insurer shall give Lender at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of cancellation, amendment, non-renewal or termination, in the manner provided for the giving of notices under Paragraph 4.5 hereof and to provide that no act done or omission by the insured shall invalidate or diminish the insurance
-5-
provided to Lender and, except for liability policies, to contain a standard mortgagee clause satisfactory to Lender.
[1]“Special Perils” or “All Risks” form of property insurance insuring against all risks of physical loss, including, without limitation, fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, earthquake, wind, flood and collapse, insuring to the extent of the full replacement cost of the improvements on the Property without deduction for depreciation, either without co-insurance requirements or with agreed amount endorsement attached and having a deductible of no more than $50,000.00 per occurrence.
[2]General liability insurance covering all liabilities incident to the ownership, possession, occupancy and operation of the Property and naming Lender as an additional insured thereunder, having limits of not less than $1,000,000 each accident, $1,000,000 each person, and $2,000,000.00 property damage, and having a deductible of no more than $50,000.00 per occurrence. Lender reserves the right to require increased coverage under this Subparagraph [2].
[3]Rent or business interruption insurance against loss of income arising out of any hazard against which the Property is required to be insured under Subparagraph 1.3A[1] above, in an amount not less than twelve (12) months’ gross rental income from the Property.
[4]Flood hazard insurance, if the Property is in an area which is, at any time during the term of this Deed of Trust, identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood or mud slide hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended;
[5]Boiler and machinery insurance;
[6]If applicable, worker’s compensation insurance; and
[7]Such other insurance with respect to the Property or any replacements or substitutions therefor, in such amounts as may from time to time be required by Lender, against other insurable casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of properties of similar character.
B.Borrower covenants and agrees that Lender is hereby authorized and empowered, at its option, to adjust, compromise or settle any loss under any insurance policies maintained pursuant hereto, and to collect and receive the proceeds from any policy or policies. Each insurance company is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for all such losses directly to Lender, instead of to Borrower and Lender jointly. In the event any insurance company fails to disburse directly and solely to Lender but disburses instead either solely to Borrower or to Borrower and Lender jointly, Borrower agrees immediately to endorse and transfer such proceeds to Lender. Upon the failure of Borrower to endorse and transfer such proceeds as aforesaid, Lender may execute such endorsements or transfers for and in the name of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact to do so. After deducting from said insurance proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums,
-6-
including Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees, Lender may apply the net proceeds (“Net Proceeds”) or any part thereof, at its sole option [i] to a prepayment of the Note without Make Whole Payment (as defined in the Note) or penalty (unless an Event of Default then exists), [ii] to the repair and/or restoration of the Property, upon such conditions as Lender may determine, and/or [iii] for any other purposes or objects for which Lender is entitled to advance funds under this Deed of Trust, all without reducing or impairing the lien of this Deed of Trust or any obligations secured hereby. Any balance of the Net Proceeds then remaining shall be paid to Borrower or any other person or entity lawfully entitled thereto. Lender shall not be obligated to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Borrower and shall not be held responsible for any failure to collect any insurance proceeds due under the terms of any policy, regardless of the cause of such failure.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 1.3B of this Deed of Trust, Lender shall release the Net Proceeds to Borrower for reimbursement of the costs of repair, rebuilding, or restoration of the improvements to the Property to as good or better condition as such improvements were in immediately prior to any casualty on account of which the Net Proceeds are paid (the “Restoration”), provided that such net proceeds shall be released upon the following conditions which must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion:
(a)Lender shall have determined that the improvements on the Property can be restored to as good or better condition as such improvements were in immediately prior to the casualty on account of which the Net Proceeds were paid;
(b)Lender shall have determined that the Net Proceeds, together with any funds paid by Borrower to Lender, shall be sufficient to complete the Restoration;
(c)No Default and no Event of Default shall then exist;
(d)Such casualty shall have occurred more than twelve months prior to the Final Maturity Date;
(e)No Lease shall have been terminated or modified, or be subject to termination as a result of such casualty prior to the completion of the Restoration within the timeframes required under the Leases, and no rent shall have been abated or shall be subject to abatement unless such rent is fully covered by rent loss or business interruption insurance; and
(f)Lender shall have approved the plans and specifications to be used in connection with the Restoration and shall have received written evidence, satisfactory to Lender, that such plans and specifications have been approved by all governmental and quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction and by all other persons or entities required to approve such plans and specifications.
Net Proceeds in excess of the amount necessary to complete the Restoration shall, at the option of Lender, be applied to the outstanding Indebtedness, in such order as Lender may
-7-
determine in its sole discretion without Make Whole Payment (so long as no Event of Default then exists).
If, within a reasonable period of time after the occurrence of any casualty, Borrower shall not have submitted to Lender, and received Lender’s approval of plans and specifications for the Restoration or shall not have obtained approval of such plans and specifications from all governmental authorities and other persons and entities whose approval is required, or if Borrower shall fail to commence promptly such Restoration, or if thereafter Borrower fails to carry out diligently such Restoration or is delinquent in the payment to mechanics, materialmen or others for the costs incurred in connection with such Restoration, or if Lender determines that any other condition of this Paragraph is not satisfied within a reasonable period of time after the occurrence of any such loss or damage, then in addition to all other rights herein set forth, at Lender’s option (x) Lender may declare that an Event of Default has occurred and/or (y) Lender may dispose of the Net Proceeds as provided in this Paragraph 1.3B without Make Whole Payment and/or (z) Lender, or any lawfully appointed receiver of the Property may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or cause to be performed such Restoration and may take such other steps as they deem advisable to carry out such Restoration, and may enter upon the Property for any of the foregoing purposes, and Borrower hereby waives, for itself and all others holding under it, any claim against Lender and such receiver (other than a claim based upon the alleged gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Lender or any such receiver) arising out of anything done by them or any of them pursuant to this Paragraph 1.3B and Lender may, in its discretion apply any insurance proceeds held by it to reimburse itself and/or such receiver for all amounts expended or incurred in connection with the performance of such Restoration, including Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees, and any excess costs shall be paid by Borrower to Lender and Borrower’s obligation to pay such excess costs shall be secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust and, if not paid within five (5) days of invoice, shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), until paid.
C.At least five (5) days prior to the expiration date of each policy maintained pursuant to this Paragraph 1.3, a renewal or replacement thereof satisfactory to Lender shall be delivered to Lender. Borrower shall deliver to Lender receipts evidencing the full payment of premiums for all such insurance policies and renewals or replacements. The delivery of any insurance policies hereunder shall constitute an assignment of all unearned premiums as further security hereunder. In the event of the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or any other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment or partial extinguishment of the Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Paragraph 1.3 then in force shall belong to the foreclosure purchaser and Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed by Borrower as attorney-in-fact for Borrower to assign any such policy to said purchaser, without accounting to Borrower for any unearned premiums therefor.
1.4Monthly Deposits. Borrower shall deposit monthly with Lender, concurrently with each regular monthly Loan payment, or at Lender’s option, with an escrow agent designated by Lender, whose fee shall be paid by Borrower, until the Indebtedness is fully repaid, such sum or sums determined by Lender in its sole discretion to be sufficient to pay, at least thirty (30) days before due, all taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and similar charges (“Impositions”) with respect to the Property. Said deposits shall be held by Lender or such escrow agent free of any liens or claims on the part of creditors of Borrower and as part of the security of Lender, to be used by Lender to pay the Impositions as the same accrue and are due and payable. Nothing contained
-8-
herein shall cause Lender to be deemed a trustee as to said deposits. Said deposits may be commingled with the general funds of Lender and no interest shall be payable thereon. If said funds are insufficient to pay the Impositions in full, as the same become payable, Borrower will deposit with Lender such additional sum or sums as may be required. Nothing contained herein shall cause Lender to be obligated to pay any amounts in excess of the amount of funds deposited with Lender pursuant to this paragraph. Should Borrower fail to deposit with Lender sums sufficient to pay in full the Impositions at least thirty (30) days before the date when due, Lender, at Lender’s election, but without any obligation so to do, may advance any amounts required to make up the deficiency, and any amounts so advanced shall be deemed part of the Indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Upon any Event of Default under this Deed of Trust or the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender may, at its option, apply any money in the fund resulting from said deposits to the payment of the Indebtedness in such manner as it may elect. In the event of a foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, the purchaser of the Property shall succeed to all the rights of Borrower in and to such deposits. The collection of such deposits by Lender shall not relieve Borrower of any of the obligations of Borrower under Paragraph 1.2 or 1.3 or any other provision of this Deed of Trust, and unless Lender is grossly negligent, under no circumstances shall Lender be liable for failure to make any payment on behalf of Borrower, including, without limitation, payments of taxes, assessments or insurance premiums.
1.5Condemnation. If all or any material portion (as determined by Lender in Lender’s commercially reasonable discretion) of the Property shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term when used in this Deed of Trust shall include any damage or taking by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority and any transfer or grant by private sale made in anticipation of or in lieu thereof), either temporarily or permanently, then the entire Indebtedness shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable without Make Whole Payment (so long as no Event of Default then exists) and without notice to Borrower or any other person or entity. Promptly upon learning of the institution or the proposed, contemplated or threatened institution of any condemnation proceeding, Borrower shall notify Lender of the pendency of such proceedings, and no settlement respecting awards in such proceedings shall be effected without the consent of Lender. Lender shall be entitled to receive all compensation, awards, proceeds and other payments or relief relating to or payable as a result of such condemnation (“Award”), and any failure by Borrower to immediately deliver any Award received directly by Borrower to Lender shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under Paragraph 2.1 of this Deed of Trust, without any notice or cure periods. Lender is hereby authorized, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or in the name of Borrower, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection therewith. All such compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds and the right thereto are hereby assigned by Borrower to Lender. If Lender does not elect to declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable, as provided above, then Lender, after deducting from said condemnation proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including, without limitation, Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees, may apply the net award (“Net Award”) or any part thereof, at its option, [i] to a prepayment of the Note, without Make Whole Payment (unless an Event of Default then exists), [ii] to the repair and/or restoration of the Property upon such conditions as Lender may determine, and/or [iii] for any other purposes or objects for which Lender is entitled to advance funds under this Deed of Trust, all without reducing or impairing the lien of this Deed of Trust or any obligations secured hereby. Any balance of such
-9-
moneys then remaining shall be paid to Borrower or any other person or entity lawfully entitled thereto. Lender shall not be obligated to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Borrower. Borrower agrees to execute such further assignment of any compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds as Lender may require. If, prior to the receipt by Lender of such award or proceeds, the Property shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, or as a result of other legal action relating to this Deed of Trust or the Note, Lender shall have the right to receive such award or proceeds to the extent of any unpaid Indebtedness following such sale, with legal interest thereon, whether or not a deficiency judgment on this Deed of Trust or the Note shall have been sought or recovered, and to the extent of Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of such award or proceeds.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph of this Paragraph 1.5, Lender shall release the Net Award paid to it for any taking of a portion of the Property to Borrower for reimbursement of the costs of restoration of the Property and the improvements thereon to as good or better condition as existed immediately prior to such taking, to the extent possible in light of the taking (“Condemnation Restoration”), provided that the Net Award shall be released upon the following conditions which must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of Lender in Lender’s sole discretion:
(a)Lender shall have determined that the Property and the improvements thereon can be restored to as good or better condition as existed immediately prior to such taking, taking into account diminution of the Property as a result of such taking;
(b)Lender shall have determined that the Net Award, together with any funds paid by Borrower to Lender, shall be sufficient to complete the Condemnation Restoration;
(c)No Default and no Event of Default shall then exist;
(d)Such taking shall have occurred more than twenty-four months prior to the Final Maturity Date;
(e)No Lease shall have been terminated, or be subject to termination as a result of such condemnation and no rent shall have been abated or shall be subject to abatement unless such rent is fully covered by rent loss or business interruption insurance; and
(f)Lender shall have approved the plans and specifications to be used in connection with the Condemnation Restoration and shall have received written evidence, satisfactory to Lender, that such plans and specifications have been approved by all governmental and quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction and by all other persons or entities required to approve such plans and specifications.
Net Award in excess of the amount necessary to complete the Condemnation Restoration shall, at the option of Lender, be applied to the outstanding Indebtedness, in such order
-10-
as Lender may determine in its sole discretion without Make Whole Payment (so long as no Event of Default then exists).
If, within a reasonable period of time after the occurrence of any such taking, Borrower shall not have submitted to Lender, and received Lender’s approval of, plans and specifications for the Condemnation Restoration or shall not have obtained approval of such plans and specifications from all governmental authorities and other persons and entities whose approval is required, or if Borrower shall fail to commence promptly such restoration, or if thereafter Borrower fails to carry out diligently such Condemnation Restoration or is delinquent in the payment to mechanics, materialmen or others for the costs incurred in connection with such Condemnation Restoration, or if Lender determines that any other condition of this Paragraph 1.5B is not satisfied within a reasonable period of time after the occurrence of any such taking, then in addition to all other rights herein set forth, at Lender’s option (x) Lender may declare that an Event of Default has occurred and/or (y) Lender may dispose of such Net Award as provided above in this Paragraph 1.5 and/or (z) Lender, or any lawfully appointed receiver of the Property may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or cause to be performed such Condemnation Restoration and may take such other steps as they deem advisable to carry out such Condemnation Restoration, and may enter upon the Property for any of the foregoing purposes, and Borrower hereby waives, for itself and all others holding under it, any claim against Lender and such receiver (other than a claim based upon the alleged gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Lender or any such receiver) arising out of anything done by them or any of them pursuant to Paragraph 1.5 and Lender may, in its discretion apply any such Net Award held by it to reimburse itself and/or such receiver for all amounts expended or incurred in connection with the performance of such Condemnation Restoration, including Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees, and any excess costs shall be paid by Borrower to Lender and Borrower’s obligation to pay such excess costs shall be secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust and, if not paid within five (5) days of invoice, shall bear interest at the Default Rate, until paid.
A.Borrower shall keep all improvements of any kind now or hereafter erected on the Land or any part thereof in good condition and repair, shall not commit or suffer any waste, and shall not do or suffer to be done anything which would or could increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Property or any part thereof or which would or could result in the cancellation of any insurance policy carried with respect to the Property.
B.Borrower shall not remove, demolish or materially alter, enlarge or materially change any structure or other improvement located on the Land without Lender’s consent, nor shall any new improvements be constructed on the Property without Lender’s consent, provided however, Lender has approved a lease, the work to be performed thereunder shall also be approved. Borrower shall not remove or permit to be removed from the Land any fixture, personal property or part of the Property without the consent of Lender, except where authorized by any lease approved by Lender where such items are the property of tenant or appropriate replacements are immediately made which are free of any lien, security interest or claim superior to that of this Deed of Trust and which have a value and utility at least equal to the value and utility of the fixture or personal property removed, which replacement shall, without further action, become subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust.
-11-
C.Without otherwise limiting the Borrower’s covenant not to commit or permit waste, Borrower shall not (i) remove or permit the removal of sand, gravel, topsoil or timber, (ii) engage in pit operations, (iii) use or permit the use of the Property as a land fill or dump, (iv) burn or bury or permit the storage, burning or buying of any material or product which will result in contamination by Hazardous Materials of the Property or the groundwater or which will require the issuance of a permit by the Environmental Protection Agency or any state or local government agency governing the issuance of hazardous or toxic waste permits, or (v) request or permit a change in zoning or land use classification.
D.Subject to the rights of tenants, Lender or its representative is hereby authorized to enter upon and inspect the Property at all reasonable times upon prior notice to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not be required to give notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or in the event of an emergency.
E.Borrower will perform and comply promptly with, and cause the Property to be maintained, used and operated in accordance with, any and all [i] present and future laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations, and requirements of every duly constituted governmental or quasi-governmental authority or agency applicable to Borrower or the Property, including without limitation, all applicable federal, state and local laws pertaining to air and water quality, hazardous waste, waste disposal, air emissions and other environmental matters, all zoning and other land use matters, and rules, regulations and ordinances of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and all other applicable federal, state and local agencies and bureaus; [ii] similarly applicable orders, rules and regulations of any regulatory, licensing, accrediting, insurance underwriting or rating organization or other body exercising similar functions; [iii] similarly applicable duties or obligation of any kind imposed under any Permitted Exception, or otherwise by law, covenant, condition, agreement or easement, public or private; [iv] policies of insurance at any time in force with respect to the Property; [v] present and future handicap and disability compliance laws and regulations, including but not limited to, all standards and requirements specified under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act and all applicable accessibility guidelines and any other regulations promulgated thereunder; and [vi] the terms and conditions of any other financing secured by a lien on all or any part of the Property. If Borrower receives any notice that Borrower or the Property is in default under or is not in compliance with any of the foregoing, or notice of any proceeding initiated under or with respect to any of the foregoing, Borrower will promptly furnish a copy of such notice to Lender.
F.If all or any part of the Property shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give immediate written notice thereof to Lender and, subject to Paragraph 1.3B, shall promptly restore the Property to the equivalent of its original condition; and if a part of the Property shall be damaged through condemnation, Borrower shall, subject to Paragraph 1.5, promptly restore, repair or alter the remaining portions of the Property in a manner satisfactory to Lender. In the event all or any portion of the Property shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or by condemnation, Borrower shall, subject to Paragraph 1.3 and/or Paragraph 1.5 as applicable, promptly deposit with Lender a sum equal to the amount by which the estimated cost of the restoration of the Property, as determined by Lender, exceeds the actual net insurance or condemnation proceeds received by Lender in connection with such damage or destruction.
-12-
[1]With respect to the machinery, apparatus, equipment, fittings, fixtures, building supplies and materials, articles of personal property, chattels, chattel paper, documents, inventory, accounts, water rights, farm products, consumer goods and general intangibles owned by Borrower and referred to or described in the granting clauses of this Deed of Trust or owned by Borrower and in any way connected with the use and enjoyment of the Property, including any personal property or fixtures included within the definition of the term “Property” (other than any personal property which may be now or hereafter deemed to be toxic or Hazardous Materials) whether now owned or hereafter from time to time acquired, together with all substitutions, replacements, additions, attachments, accessories and all of the rents, issues, income, revenues, security deposits and profits derived from the Property (collectively referred to as the “Collateral”), this Deed of Trust is hereby also made and declared to be a security agreement encumbering each and every item of such property comprising a part of the Collateral, in compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the state where the Property is located, and Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in all such Collateral. The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the security agreement contained in this Deed of Trust shall include, but not be limited to those [i] prescribed herein, or [ii] prescribed by general law, or [iii] prescribed by the specific statutory provisions now or hereafter enacted and specified in said Uniform Commercial Code, all at Lender’s sole election. Borrower and Lender agree that the filing of any such financing statement or statements in the records normally having to do with personal property shall not in any way affect the agreement of Borrower and Lender 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, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings, both legal or equitable, shall be, regarded as part of the real estate conveyed hereby regardless of whether any such item is physically attached to the improvements, serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items capable of being thus identified in an exhibit to this Deed of Trust, or any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement or statements so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement or statements of the rights in and to [A] the proceeds of any insurance policy, or [B] any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or [C] Borrower’s interest as landlord in any present or future Lease or sublease or rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the Property, whether pursuant to a tenant Lease of space in the Property or otherwise, shall not in any way alter any of the rights of Lender as determined by this Deed of Trust or affect the priority of Lender’s security interest granted hereby or by any other recorded document, it being understood and agreed that such mention in such financing statement or statements is solely for the protection of Lender in the event any court shall at any time hold with respect to the foregoing clauses [A], [B], or [C] of this sentence, that notice of Lender’s priority of interest, to be effective against a particular class of persons, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records. Said security interest shall attach thereto as soon as Borrower obtains any interest in any of the Collateral and before the Collateral becomes fixtures or before the Collateral is installed or affixed to other collateral for the benefit of Lender, to secure the Indebtedness, and all other sums and charges which may become due hereunder or thereunder. The security interest held by Lender shall cover cash and non-cash proceeds of the Collateral, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as
-13-
authorizing, either expressly or by implication, the sale or other disposition of the Collateral by Borrower, which sale or other disposition is hereby expressly prohibited without the Lender’s prior written consent, or as otherwise provided herein. No personal property or business equipment owned by any Tenants (as hereinafter defined) holding under Borrower is included within this Deed of Trust, except to the extent of Borrower’s landlord’s lien with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Collateral specifically excludes all trade or business fixtures, equipment, and personal property owned by tenants of the Property, and (ii) it is recognized that Borrower’s rights in certain of the Collateral are subject to the rights of tenants to utilize the same for the term of their leases.
In the Event of Default under this Deed of Trust, Lender, pursuant to said Uniform Commercial Code, shall have the option of proceeding as to both real and personal property in accordance with its rights and remedies in respect of the real property, in which event the default provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code shall not apply. The parties agree that, in the event Lender elects to proceed with respect to the Collateral separately from the real property, the requirement of the Uniform Commercial Code as to reasonable notice of any proposed sale or disposition of the Collateral shall be met if such notice is mailed to the Borrower, as hereinafter provided, at least five (5) days prior to the time of such sale or disposition. Borrower agrees that, without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower will not remove or permit to be removed from the real property hereby conveyed, any of the Collateral unless the same is replaced immediately with unencumbered Collateral of a quality and value equal or superior to that which it replaces. All such replacements, renewals and additions shall become and be immediately subject to the security interest of this Deed of Trust and be covered thereby. Borrower warrants and represents that all Collateral now is, and that all replacements thereof, substitutions therefor or additions thereto will be, free and clear of liens, encumbrances or security interests of others, except as to the Permitted Exceptions.
B.Borrower warrants that [i] Borrower’s (that is, “Debtor’s”) name, identity, and principal place of business are as referred to in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust, [ii] Borrower (that is, “Debtor”) has been using or operating under said name and identity without change since April 28, 2017, and [iii] the location of all tangible collateral is upon the Land. Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower will furnish Lender with notice of any change in the matters addressed by clauses [i] or [iii] of this Subparagraph 1.7B within thirty (30) days of the effective date of any such change, and Borrower will promptly execute any financing statements or other instruments deemed necessary by Lender to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.
C.Some of the items of Collateral described herein are goods that are or are to become fixtures related to the real estate described herein, and it is intended that, as to those goods, this Deed of Trust shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing from the date of its filing for record in the real estate records of the county in which the Land is located. Information concerning the security interest created by this instrument may be obtained from the Lender, as “Secured Party,” or Borrower, as “Debtor,” at their respective mailing addresses set out in Paragraph 4.5 hereof.
D.Borrower further covenants and agrees that all of the Collateral shall be owned by Borrower and shall not be the subject matter of any lease or other instrument, agreement
-14-
or transaction whereby the ownership or beneficial interest thereof or therein shall be held by any person or entity other than Borrower, except to the extent Lender consents in writing to any lease of any of such property, which consent may be withheld or delayed in Lender’s sole discretion; nor shall Borrower create or cause to be created any security interest covering any such property, other than [i] the security interest created herein in favor of Lender, [ii] the rights of Tenants lawfully occupying the Property pursuant to Leases approved by Lender, and [iii] the Permitted Exceptions.
E.Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file such financing statements, amendments and continuations to financing statements and take such other steps are as determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, to be necessary to perfect any of the liens and security interests created herein, including the filing of financing statements with the Secretary of State in the state of Borrower’s formation and the filing of fixture filings in any location where goods which are or are to become fixtures or timber to be cut or as extracted minerals are located.
1.8Subrogation. To the full extent of the Indebtedness, Lender is hereby subrogated to the liens, claims and demands, and to the rights of the owners and holders of each lien, claim, demand and other encumbrance on the Property which is paid or satisfied, in whole or in part, out of the proceeds of the Indebtedness, and the respective liens, claims, demands and other encumbrances shall be, and each of them is hereby, preserved and shall pass to and be held by Lender as additional collateral and further security for the Indebtedness, to the same extent they would have been preserved and would have been passed to and held by Lender had they been duly and legally assigned, transferred, set over and delivered unto Lender by assignment, notwithstanding the fact that any instrument providing public notice of the same may be satisfied and canceled of record.
1.9Transfer of the Property; Secondary Financing.
A.The identity and expertise of Borrower were and continue to be material circumstances upon which Lender has relied in connection with, and which constitute valuable consideration to Lender for, extending the Indebtedness to Borrower, and any change in such identity or expertise could materially impair or jeopardize the security for the payment of the Indebtedness. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender, as part of the consideration for extending the Indebtedness to Borrower, that without Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not, voluntarily or by operation of law: [i] sell, transfer, convey, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise hypothecate or dispose of, all or any part of the Property or any interest therein whether or not as collateral security for any other obligation of Borrower (other than replacements of Collateral in the ordinary course of business); [ii] if Borrower or Guarantor is a limited liability company, corporation, partnership, trust, or other entity sell, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of voting control or more than fifty percent (50%) of the financial interest in Borrower or Guarantor or change their manager, managing member, or general partners; nor [iii] cause or permit any junior encumbrance or lien to be placed on the Property or other security for the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, any lien securing any assessment, bond, loan, financing, or other debt incurred pursuant to “property assessed clean energy,” “special energy financing district,” or similar provisions of applicable law (“PACE Financing”). Any purported transaction in violation of the foregoing shall be void and shall entitle Lender to declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable without notice or demand. Such consent may be given
-15-
or withheld by Lender in its sole discretion and may be conditioned upon payment to Lender of a fee for processing the request for consent and other administrative costs incurred in connection therewith, and/or an increase in the rate of interest on the unpaid balance of the Indebtedness to a then current market rate, and/or a change in the term of the Note, and/or other changes in the terms of the Loan Documents, all of which Borrower hereby agrees are reasonable conditions to the approval of any such transfer. In all events, if Lender consents to any such sale, transfer, conveyance, pledge, encumbrance, assignment, hypothecation or disposition, at the option of Lender the manager of the Property, if any, shall remain the same before and after the transfer and the transferee shall be a creditworthy person or entity of sound financial reputation.
B.The consent by Lender to any sale, transfer, conveyance, pledge, encumbrance, assignment, creation of a security interest in or other hypothecation or disposition of the Property or the beneficial interests of Borrower shall not be deemed to constitute a novation of the Indebtedness or a consent to any further sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, creation of a security interest or other hypothecation or disposition, or a waiver of Lender’s right, at its option, to exercise its remedies for Event of Default, without notice to or demand upon Borrower or to any other person or entity upon any such sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, creation of a security interest in or other hypothecation, or disposition to which Lender shall not have consented. Should Borrower transfer, assign, convey, sell, mortgage or hypothecate the property described herein, or any interest therein, either legal or equitable, without the prior written consent of Lender, Lender shall have the right to immediately accelerate all sums due under the Note secured hereby and demand immediate payment thereof. Such transfer without Lender’s prior written consent shall be an Event of Default hereunder and shall enable Lender to exercise any and all remedies herein.
C.Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 1.9(a) of this Deed of Trust, Lender shall consent on two and only two occasions during the term of the Note to a transfer of all the interests of Borrower in the Property provided that there has occurred no Event of Default hereunder (whether or not subsequently cured), and provided further that the following conditions are satisfied, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion:
(a)Lender shall have approved in writing the experience, managerial ability, and reputation of the transferee;
(b)The transferee must be a single entity and a single purpose entity. Any requests for approval of multiple transferees are subject to the approval or disapproval of Lender in its sole discretion and, if approved, shall be subject to such fees as Lender requires, in its sole discretion, to compensate Lender for the cost of servicing a loan with multiple obligors;
(c)Borrower shall have paid to Lender, prior to such transfer, a sum-equal to one-half percent (1/2%) of the unpaid principal balance of the Note at the time of the first transfer and a sum equal to one percent (1%) of the unpaid principal balance of the Note at the time of the second transfer, together with any accrued interest at the time of such transfer together with all other fees or costs that are outstanding, as a consent fee and not as a partial prepayment of the principal balance of the Note;
-16-
(d)Borrower shall have reimbursed Lender for all costs of any attorney, surveyor, appraiser, inspection, investigation, travel, lodging, document preparation, and any other costs incurred by Lender in reviewing such transfer and in completing the same in accordance herewith, whether or not the transfer actually closes;
(e)The transferee approved by Lender shall have assumed the obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Deed of Trust, and the other Loan Documents, and shall have executed such instruments, certificates, and other documents, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, as specified by Lender, to accomplish and to evidence such assumption;
(f)The transferee and its principals shall have executed such instruments, certificate and other documents, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, as specified by Lender, to make such transferee and its principals liable for the nonrecourse carve outs set forth in Paragraph 14 of the Note (including a Guaranty Agreement to be executed by such principals) and the obligations set forth in that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith;
(g)The transferee and its principals shall have provided Lender with any and all materials reasonably requested by Lender to process the Loan assumption in accordance with Lender’s requirements;
(h)Borrower shall have performed any and all maintenance to the Property necessary to maintain the Property and improvements thereto in a good state of repair, prior to such transfer;
(i)The transferee shall be of a creditworthy nature based upon Lender’s customary underwriting standards in effect at the time of such transfer, including but not limited to, net worth and cash flow requirements as applied to borrowers for new loans in the amount of the Note, and which are secured by property substantially similar to the Property;
(j)Lender shall have approved the form and content of current estoppel certificates from (i) all Tenants leasing 10% or more of the net leasable area of the Property and (ii) Tenants leasing at least 70% of the remaining occupied square footage in the Property;
(k)Borrower shall have given Lender thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intent to transfer the Property;
(l)Borrower shall provide Lender with an endorsement to Lender’s title policy insuring the continued first priority of this Deed of Trust subsequent to the transfer; and
-17-
(m)The transferee shall have provided Lender with UCC-3 Financing Statements with respect to all of Lender’s UCC Financing Statements, showing the transferee as debtor.
1.10Limit on Interest. If from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Deed of Trust, the Note or any other Loan Document, at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall involve exceeding the limit on interest presently prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then Lender may, at its option [i] declare the entire Indebtedness secured hereby, including accrued interest and interest at the Default Rate, if any and all other sums owing, immediately due and payable without Make Whole Payment, [ii] reduce the obligations to be fulfilled to such limit on interest, or [iii] apply the amount that would exceed such limit on interest to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Note, and not to the payment of interest, with the same force and effect as though Borrower had specifically designated such sums to be so applied to principal and Lender had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under the Note or Deed of Trust, that is in excess of the applicable limit on interest. It is the intention of Borrower and Lender not to create any obligation in excess of the amount allowable by applicable law. The provisions of this paragraph shall control every other provision of this Deed of Trust, and any provision of the Loan Documents in conflict with this Paragraph 1.10.
1.11Performance by Lender of Defaults by Borrower. Borrower covenants and agrees that, if it shall Default in the payment of any tax, lien, assessment, or charge levied or assessed against the Property; in the payment of any utility charge, whether public or private; in the payment of any insurance premium; in the procurement of insurance coverage and the delivery of the insurance policies required hereunder; or in the performance or observance of any other covenant, condition or term of this Deed of Trust, then Lender, at its option, but without obligation and without notice, may pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, upon demand, immediately repaid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon, from the date such payment is made or expense is incurred by Lender to the date Lender is reimbursed therefor, at the Default Rate. Lender shall be the sole judge of the legality, validity and priority of any such tax, lien, assessment, charge, claim and premium, of the necessity for any such actions and of the amount necessary to be paid in satisfaction thereof. Lender is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Property or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted covenant, condition or term without thereby becoming liable to Borrower or any person in possession of any portion of the Property holding under Borrower. Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees, however, that notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph 1.11 to the contrary, Lender shall not be obligated under this Paragraph 1.11 to incur any expense or to perform any act whatsoever. Borrower further acknowledges that no performance by Lender of Borrower’s obligations shall cure Borrower’s Default or release Borrower from those or any other obligations under this Deed of Trust. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender against any and all costs (including Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees), liabilities or damages, arising from or in any way related to the performance of Borrower’s obligations by Lender.
1.12Assignment of Leases and Rents.
-18-
A.As additional collateral and to further secure the Indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower, Borrower does hereby absolutely, presently and irrevocably assign, grant, transfer, and convey to Lender, its successors and assigns, all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under all leases, subleases, tenant contracts, rental agreements, franchise agreements, management contracts, construction contracts and other contracts, licenses and permits, map approvals and conditional use permits, whether written or oral, now or hereafter affecting all or any part of the Property, and any agreement for the use or occupancy of all or any part of the Property which may have been made heretofore or which may be made hereafter, including any and all extensions, renewals, and modifications of the foregoing and guaranties of the performance or obligations of any tenants thereunder, and all other arrangements of any sort resulting in the payment of money to Borrower or in Borrower becoming entitled to the payment of money for the use of the Property or any part thereof whether such user or occupier is tenant, invitee, or licensee (all of the foregoing referred to collectively as the “Leases” and individually as a “Lease”, and said tenants, invitees, and licensees are referred to collectively as “Tenants” and individually as “Tenant” as the context requires), which Leases cover all or portions of the Property; together with all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to all income, rents, issues, royalties, profits, rights and benefits and all Tenants’ security and other similar deposits derived with respect to the Leases and with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, all base and minimum rents, percentage rents, additional rents, payments in lieu of rent, expense contributions, Termination Amounts and other similar such payments (collectively referred to as “Income”), and the right to collect the same as they become due, it being the intention of the parties hereto to establish an absolute transfer and assignment of all of the Leases and the Income to Lender, and not just to create a security interest.
B.Although this Deed of Trust constitutes an absolute, present and current assignment of all Income, as long as no Event of Default on the part of Borrower shall have occurred, Lender shall not demand that such Income be paid directly to Lender, and Borrower shall have a license to collect, but not more than one (l) month prior to the due date thereof all such Income from the Property (including, without limitation, all rental payments under the Leases).
1.13Books, Records, Accounts and Monthly Reports. Borrower shall keep and maintain, or shall cause to be kept and maintained, at Borrower’s cost and expense, proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the Property and in connection with any services, equipment, or furnishings provided in connection with the operation of the Property. Lender and Lender’s agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower or such other person or entity maintaining such books, records or accounts and to make copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire and to discuss Borrower’s affairs, finances and accounts with Borrower and with the officers and principals of Borrower, at such reasonable times as may be requested by Lender. Borrower shall furnish to Lender annually within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year (which, for Borrower is November 30th of each year), at Borrower’s expense, a cash basis statement of the operation of the Property for such fiscal year, prepared in accordance with consistently applied accounting principles, showing in detail all revenues derived from rents, profits and all other sources, and all expenses and disbursements made in connection with the Property, an annual balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and all supporting schedules covering the operation of the Property, together with a rent roll for the Property containing, at a minimum,
-19-
the names of all tenants and guarantors of any Leases, the rentable square footage of each leased space, a schedule of past-due rents, dates of occupancy, the term of the Leases, base rents and base rents per rentable square foot, additional rent, rental concessions, security deposits, lease commissions outstanding, and renewal options under the Leases. From and after Default Lender may require that any such statements shall be audited and/or prepared and certified by an independent certified public accountant selected or approved by Lender. Borrower shall further provide Lender, on a quarterly basis, with such interim balance sheet and profit and loss statements on the operation of the Property and the financial condition of Borrower as Lender may reasonably require. All of the foregoing financial statements shall fairly and accurately present the financial condition of the subject thereof as of the dates thereof and shall be certified by Borrower’s principal financial or accounting officer. In the event that Borrower shall refuse or fail to furnish any statement as aforedescribed, or in the event such statement shall be inaccurate or false, or in the event of failure of Borrower to permit Lender or its representatives to inspect the Property or the said books and records, such acts of Borrower shall be a Default hereunder and Lender may proceed in accordance with the rights and remedies afforded it under the provisions hereof. If any of the materials described in this paragraph that are required to be delivered to Lender is not timely delivered, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, as a late charge, the sum of $500. In addition, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender an additional late charge of $500 for each full month during which such item remains undelivered following written notice from Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender will incur additional expenses as a result of any such late deliveries, which expenses would be impracticable to quantify, and that Borrower’s payments under this paragraph are a reasonable estimate of such expenses. Borrower shall cause any Guarantor to furnish to Lender financial statements (balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements) at the same time that Borrower’s financial statements are delivered to Lender. Borrower shall cause any Guarantor to furnish copies of its tax returns to Lender.
1.14ERISA. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Deed of Trust to the contrary, under no circumstances shall Borrower transfer any interest in the Property, directly or indirectly, to an employee benefit plan covered under Title I, Part 4 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 amended (“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), unless prior to such transaction, Lender obtains written representations from the employee benefit plan and Borrower, satisfactory to Lender, that the employee benefit plan has an exemption from the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the IRC which would apply to this loan if Lender is a “party in interest” or a “disqualified person” either at the time of such transaction or if Lender should become a “party in interest” or a “disqualified person” anytime thereafter during the term of this loan.
1.15Loan Purpose. That the Loan secured by this Deed of Trust has been incurred and made solely for business purposes, such covenant and agreement having been made to induce Lender to make the Loan; and the proceeds of the Loan are being used entirely for such business purposes.
A.Borrower covenants and agrees that it has not and shall not:
-20-

2.4Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of strict right without notice and without regard to the sufficiency or value of any security for the Indebtedness or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Property and to collect and apply the income, rents, issues, profits, and revenues thereof. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state within which the Land is located. Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand all expenses, including receiver’s fees, Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees, costs, and agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 2.4; and all such expenses shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and bear interest at the Default Rate.
-27-
A.If an Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender, at its option, may institute legal proceedings for the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust.
B.If a Default shall have occurred, Lender, at its option, may direct the Trustee to sell, pursuant to the power of sale herein granted, the Property to satisfy the Indebtedness secured hereby. Such sale by Trustee pursuant to the conveyance to Trustee and the power of sale shall be conducted in accordance with applicable law with respect to notice, advertisement, sale procedures and payments of Trustees’ fees and expenses.
C.Lender shall have the right from time to time to enforce any legal or equitable remedy against Borrower, including, without limitation, suing for any sums, whether interest, principal or any installment of either or both, taxes, penalties or any other sums required to be paid under the terms of this Deed of Trust, as the same become due, without regard to whether or not all of the Indebtedness shall then be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to enforce any other remedy, including, without limitation, an action of foreclosure, whether or not such other remedy be based upon an Event Default which existed at the time of commencement of an earlier or pending action, and whether or not such other remedy be based upon the same Event of Default upon which an earlier or pending action is based.
2.6Purchase by Lender. Upon any foreclosure sale or Trustee’s sale, Lender may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Indebtedness as a credit to the purchase price.
2.7Application of Proceeds of Sale. In the event of a foreclosure or Trustee’s sale of all or any portion of the Property, the proceeds of said sale shall be applied, in whatever order Lender in its sole discretion may decide, to the expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees, to insurance premiums, liens, assessments, taxes and charges, including utility charges, advanced by Lender, to payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Indebtedness, together with any Make Whole Payment, fees or charges herein or in the Note provided, or to the accrued interest on all of the foregoing, and finally the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Borrower.
2.8Borrower as Tenant Holding Over. In the event of any such Trustee’s sale or foreclosure sale by Lender, Borrower shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.
2.9Leases. Lender, at its option, is authorized to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to direct Trustee to sell the Property subject to the rights of any tenants of the Property, and the failure to make any such tenants parties to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted to be by Borrower, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Lender to collect the Indebtedness.
2.10Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Deed of Trust by foreclosure, power of sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been withdrawn, discontinued or abandoned for any
-28-
reason, or shall have been determined adversely to Lender, then in every such case [i] Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights, [ii] all rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken, [iii] each and every Default declared or occurring prior or subsequent to such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment shall be deemed to be a continuing Default, and [iv] neither this Deed of Trust, nor the Note, nor the Indebtedness, nor any other of the Loan Documents shall be or shall be deemed to have been released or otherwise affected by such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment; and Borrower hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the above.
2.11No Reinstatement. If an Event of Default under Paragraph 2.1A[1] shall have occurred and Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy permitted hereunder, then a tender of payment by Borrower or by anyone on behalf of Borrower of the amount necessary to satisfy all sums due hereunder made at any time prior to foreclosure or Trustee’s sale, or the acceptance by Lender of any such payment so tendered, shall not constitute a reinstatement of the Note or this Deed of Trust.
2.12Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Lender by this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
2.13Suits to Protect the Property. Lender shall have the power [i] to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Property by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Deed of Trust, [ii] to preserve or protect its interest in the Property and in the income, rents, issues, profits and revenues arising therefrom, and [iii] to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of Lender.
2.14Lender May File Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower, its creditors or its property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount of the Indebtedness at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount of the Indebtedness after such date.
2.15Marshalling. At any foreclosure or Trustee sale, the Property may, at Lender’s option, be offered for sale for one total price, and the proceeds of such sale accounted for in one account without distinction between the items of security or without assigning to them any proportion of such proceeds, Borrower hereby waiving the application of any doctrine of marshalling; and in the event Lender, at its option, elects to sell the Property or cause the Trustee to sell the Property in parts or parcels, said sales may be held from time to time, and this Deed of Trust shall not terminate until all of the Property not previously sold shall have been sold.
-29-
Borrower consents that the provisions of N.C. Gen. Stat §45-45.1 or any similar statute hereafter enacted in replacement or in substitution thereof shall be inapplicable to this Deed of Trust.
2.16Security Deposits. If Borrower shall obtain from a tenant or subtenant of the Property, or a part thereof, a deposit to secure such tenant’s or subtenant’s obligations, such funds, following any Event of Default under this Deed of Trust, shall be deposited with Lender in an account maintained by Lender in its name; but any such deposit shall be returned to Borrower when required, by the terms of any such lease, sublease or occupancy agreement, to be paid over to the tenant or subtenant; and Borrower represents that the provisions of any applicable laws relating to security deposits have been satisfied with respect to each existing tenant, subtenant or occupant of the Property and agrees that they will be satisfied with respect to each new tenant, subtenant, or occupant of the Property; and Borrower will furnish details of such satisfaction from time to time upon the request of Lender in such detail as Lender may require.
2.17Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Impairment of Collateral, Etc. Borrower agrees, to the full extent permitted by law, that in case of an Event of Default on the part of Borrower hereunder, neither Borrower nor anyone claiming through or under Borrower will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any moratorium, reinstatement, forbearance, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead right, entitlement or exemption, or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or 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 purchaser at such sale, and Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives 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. Borrower agrees that Lender may, at its discretion, and without the knowledge or consent of Borrower, release any guarantor of the Indebtedness or release any collateral for the Indebtedness, all without affecting the validity or priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust, and Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to assert any defense based upon such releases or upon any assertion that any such release has impaired Lender’s collateral.
2.18Waiver of Homestead. Borrower hereby waives and renounces all homestead right, entitlement, and exemption provided for by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America and of any state, in and to the Property as against the collection of the Indebtedness, or any part hereof.

In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Property, Lender, without notice, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Property or the Indebtedness, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings of Borrower. In no event, however shall the provisions of this paragraph be construed in derogation of Paragraph 1.9 hereof.
4.8Assignment. Borrower acknowledges that Lender and its successors and assigns may, without the necessity for consent by Borrower or Trustee, (a) sell this Deed of Trust, the Note and other Loan Documents to one or more investors as a whole loan, (b) participate the Loan to one or more investors, (c) deposit this Deed of Trust, the Note and other Loan Documents with a trust, which trust may sell certificates to investors evidencing an ownership interest in the trust assets or (d) otherwise sell the Loan or interest therein to investors (the transactions referred to in clauses (a) through (d) are each hereinafter referred to as a “Secondary Market Transaction”). Borrower shall, at its expense, cooperate in good faith with Lender in effecting any such Secondary
-32-
Market Transaction. Borrower shall provide such information and documents relating to Borrower, Guarantor, if any, the Property, the Leases and the tenants under the Leases as Lender may reasonably request in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction. Lender shall have the right to provide to prospective investors any information in its possession, including, without limitation, financial statements relating to Borrower, Guarantor, if any, the Property and the tenants under the Leases.
4.9Substitute Trustee. The Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed to Lender, or the Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in writing executed by Lender. In case of the death, resignation, removal or disqualification of the Trustee or if for any reason Lender shall deem it desirable to appoint a substitute or successor trustee to act instead of the herein named trustee or any substitute or successor trustee, then Lender shall have the right and is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint a successor trustee, or a substitute trustee, without other formality than appointment and designation in writing executed by Lender and the authority hereby conferred shall extend to the appointment of other successor and substitute trustees successively until the indebtedness secured hereby has been paid in full or until the Property is sold hereunder. In the event the indebtedness secured hereby is owned by more than one person or entity, the holder or holders of not less than a majority in the amount of such indebtedness shall have the right and authority to make the appointment of a successor or substitute trustee provided for in the preceding sentence. Such appointment and designation by Lender or by the holder or holders of not less than a majority of the indebtedness secured hereby shall be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all facts therein recited. If Lender is a corporation and such appointment is executed in its behalf by an officer of such corporation, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation. Upon the making of any such appointment and designation, all of the estate and title of the Trustee in the Property shall vest in the named successor or substitute trustee and he shall thereupon succeed to and shall hold, possess and execute all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon the Trustee; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Lender or of the successor or substitute trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor or substitute trustee all of the estate and title in the Property of the Trustee so ceasing to act, together with all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon the Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the properties and moneys held by said Trustee hereunder to said successor or substitute trustee. All references herein to the Trustee shall be deemed to refer to the Trustee (including any successor or substitute trustee appointed and designated as herein provided) from time to time acting hereunder. Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the herein named Trustee or her successor or successors, substitute or substitutes, in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof.
4.10Indemnity of Trustee. THE TRUSTEE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY ERROR OF JUDGMENT OR ACT DONE BY THE TRUSTEE IN GOOD FAITH, OR BE OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE OR ACCOUNTABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING THE TRUSTEE’S NEGLIGENCE), EXCEPT FOR THE TRUSTEE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. The Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by her hereunder, believed by her in good faith to be genuine. All
-33-
moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law), and the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by her hereunder. Borrower will reimburse the Trustee for, and indemnify and save her harmless against, any and all liability and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which may be incurred by her in the performance of her duties hereunder. The foregoing indemnity shall not terminate upon release, foreclosure or other termination of this Deed of Trust.
4.10Time of the Essence. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE with respect to each and every covenant, agreement, and obligation of Borrower under this Deed of Trust, the Note and any and all other Loan Documents.
4.11Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees. The meaning of the terms “legal fees” or “Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees” or any other reference to the fees of attorneys or counsel, wherever used in this Deed of Trust, shall mean fees charged by attorneys selected by Lender and based upon such attorneys’ then prevailing hourly rates as opposed to any statutory presumption. Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees shall be deemed to include, without limitation, all legal fees relating to litigation or appeals at any and all levels of courts and administrative tribunals.
4.12Covenants Run With the Land. All of the grants, covenants, terms, provisions and conditions herein contained shall run with the land and shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of Borrower and Lender.
4.13Replacement of Note. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the Note and dated as of the date of the Note and upon such execution and delivery all references in this Deed of Trust to the Note shall be deemed to refer to such replacement Note.
4.14Further Assurances; After-Acquired Property. At any time, and from time to time, at Borrower’s expense and upon request by Lender, Borrower shall make, execute and deliver or cause to be made, executed and delivered, to Lender and, where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be re-recorded and/or refilled at such time and in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by Lender, any and all such other and further deeds to secure debt, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurances, certificates and other documents as may, in the opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate, complete or perfect, or to continue and preserve, [i] the obligations of Borrower described in the Note and under this Deed of Trust and [ii] the lien of this Deed of Trust as a first and prior lien upon and security interest in and to all of the Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Borrower, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Upon any failure by Borrower so to do, Lender may make, execute, record, file, re-record and/or refile any and all such deeds to secure debt, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreement, financing statements, continuation statements, instruments, certificates and documents for and in the name of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower so to do. The lien and security interest
-34-
hereof shall automatically attach, without further act, to all after-acquired property attached to and/or used in the operation of the Property or any part thereof, to the extent permitted by law.
