SECTION 4.3 Taxes.
(a) Grantor shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes, charges and similar assessments (“Impositions”) imposed or levied by any government authority which create a Lien upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. If by law any such Imposition is payable, or may at the option of the taxpayer be paid, in installments, Grantor may pay the same, together with any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, in installments as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the nonpayment of any such installment and interest. If at any time after the date hereof there shall be assessed or imposed a license fee, tax or assessment on Beneficiary which is measured by or based in whole or in part upon the amount of the outstanding Obligations, then all such taxes shall be deemed to be included within the term “Impositions” as defined herein, and Grantor shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided with respect to the payment of Impositions, or, if Grantor shall not be permitted by law to pay and discharge such Imposition either directly or indirectly, then, at the option of Beneficiary, all obligations secured hereby, together with all interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3(c), upon written request therefor Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary within 30 days after the date upon which any Imposition would be delinquent, official receipts of the appropriate taxing authority, or other proof satisfactory to Beneficiary, evidencing the payment thereof.
(c) Grantor has the right, before any delinquency occurs, to contest or object to the amount or validity of any Imposition by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as (i) such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor and (ii) in the case of a charge or claim which has or may become a Lien against any of the Mortgaged Property, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay the sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property to satisfy such Imposition.
SECTION 4.4 Utilities. Grantor shall pay, when due, all utility charges incurred by Grantor for the benefit of the Mortgaged Property, or which may become a charge or Lien against the Mortgaged Property, for gas, electricity, water, sewer and all other utility services furnished to the Mortgaged Property, and all other assessments or charges of a similar nature, whether public or private, affecting the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, whether or not such assessments or charges are Liens thereon.

Grantor shall appear in and contest any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or any Benefited Party and shall pay all costs and expenses, including the cost of a title report and reasonable attorneys’ fees (including the reasonable attorneys’ fees of Beneficiary and such Benefited Party) incurred in any such action. If Grantor receives any notice or other instrument which might materially and adversely affect the Mortgaged Property or the deed of trust lien of this Deed of Trust, Grantor shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice or other instrument to Beneficiary. The notices referred to shall include notices from any tenant or landlord of the Mortgaged Property claiming a default by Grantor under any Lease; any notice from a government authority concerning any special tax; any notice of any alleged violation of any building, zoning, fire or other law or regulation affecting the Mortgaged Property; any notice of a

mechanic’s or supplier’s Lien, whether actually filed or threatened; and any notice of an action or proceeding filed or threatened against Grantor or the Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 4.6 Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds.
(a) Condemnation Awards. Grantor assigns all Condemnation Awards to which it is entitled for any condemnation or other taking, or any purchase in lieu thereof, to Beneficiary and authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive such Condemnation Awards and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor.
(b) Insurance Proceeds. Grantor assigns to Beneficiary all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to all proceeds of any insurance policies insuring against loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property. Grantor (i) authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive such proceeds and (ii) authorizes and directs the issuer of each of such insurance policies to make payment for all such losses directly to Beneficiary, instead of to Grantor and Beneficiary jointly.
(c) Insurance.
(i) Grantor shall not carry separate or additional insurance concurrent in form or contributing, in the event of loss, with that required hereunder unless such insurance is endorsed in favor of Beneficiary as loss payee or additional insured, as applicable, and contains endorsements providing coverage secondary to the insurance required to be carried hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Grantor from holding or obtaining an owner’s policy of title insurance covering the Mortgaged Property.
(ii) If Grantor fails to maintain the insurance required to be maintained by any Financing Agreement, then Beneficiary, if it so elects, may itself have such insurance effected in such amounts and in such companies as it may deem proper and may pay the premiums therefor, and all expenses so incurred of every kind and character shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor to Beneficiary and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Rate, and the same shall be secured by the lien evidenced by this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary shall not be responsible for the solvency of any company issuing any insurance policy, whether or not selected or approved by it, or for the collection of any amount due under any such policy, and shall be responsible and accountable only for such money as may be actually received by it.
ARTICLE 5

(c) Foreclosure and Sale. Elect to commence foreclosure proceedings by way of a public trustee’s sale pursuant to the provisions of Title 38, Article 38, Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended, or in any other manner then permitted by law, four weeks’ public notice having previously been given of the time and place of such sale by advertisement, weekly, in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the property is located, or upon such other notice as may then be required by law; or foreclose this Deed of Trust by appropriate proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction. Beneficiary, any Benefited Party or any designee of any of the foregoing may be a purchaser at such sale, and if Beneficiary is the highest bidder, Beneficiary may credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Beneficiary against the Indebtedness in lieu of paying cash. If this Deed of Trust is foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement of the Mortgaged Property is waived. Beneficiary shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing the remedies provided herein, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of appraisals and title evidence.

Make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Indebtedness, the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, and Grantor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property.
(e) Acceleration. Declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable and thereupon all Indebtedness shall be and become immediately due and payable.
(f) Other. Exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Intercreditor Agreement or any Financing Agreement or otherwise available at law or in equity.
9
SECTION 5.2 Separate Sales. The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may elect; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.
SECTION 5.3 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive.

For payment of the Indebtedness, Beneficiary may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect.
SECTION 5.5 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets.

10
thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under any Financing Agreement for such Event of Default.
SECTION 5.7 Application of Proceeds. Subject to Section 5.1(c), the proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied by Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(a) If any Event of Default exists, Beneficiary and each of the Benefited Parties has the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Grantor. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Beneficiary or any Benefited Party under this Section 5.8, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement, at the Default Rate, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
(b) Grantor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Deed of Trust, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Indebtedness or any claim under this Deed of Trust, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any costs incurred by Beneficiary or its attorney as a part of the cost of foreclosure in conjunction with Grantor’s default hereunder shall be deemed allowable by Trustee in a foreclosure action. Such allowable costs shall include appraisal fees, attorneys’ fees and all costs incurred by Beneficiary or its attorney in conjunction with securing, preserving and maintaining the Mortgaged Property and any improvements contained thereon, such as, by way of example and not by way of limitation, costs incurred in conjunction with the appointment and/or institution of a receivership (whether or not a receiver be appointed).
SECTION 5.9 No Mortgagee in Possession. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article 5, the assignment of the Rents and Leases under Article 6, the security interests under Article 7, nor any other right, power or remedy afforded to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust or any other Collateral Document, at law or in equity, shall cause Beneficiary, any Benefited Party or Trustee to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Beneficiary, any Benefited Party or Trustee to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or Otherwise.
SECTION 5.10 Actions by Beneficiary to Preserve the Mortgaged Property.

11
