Any and all sums and the interest which accrues on them as provided in this Deed of Trust which Mortgagee may advance or which Mortgagor may owe Mortgagee pursuant to this Deed of Trust on account of Mortgagor’s failure to keep, observe or perform any of Mortgagor’s covenants under this Deed of Trust.
(f) Obligations under Credit Documents. All present and future debts and obligations under or pursuant to (1) any papers (“Credit Documents”) now or in the future governing, evidencing, guaranteeing or securing or otherwise relating to payment of all or any part of the debt evidenced by the Note or (2) all supplements, amendments, restatements, renewals, extensions, rearrangements, increases, expansions or replacements of them.

The Debt also includes all reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other expenses incurred by Mortgagee in enforcing any of the Credit Documents. All liens, assignments and security interests created, represented or continued by this Deed of Trust, both present and future, shall be first, prior and superior to any lien, assignment, security interest, charge, reservation of title or other interest heretofore, concurrently or subsequently suffered or granted by Xxxxxxxxx or Xxxxxxxxx’s successors or assigns, except only statutory super priority liens for nondelinquent taxes and those other liens (if any) expressly identified and stated in this Deed of Trust to be senior.

Section 3.2 Debtor’s Covenants Concerning Personalty Subject to the UCC. Debtor covenants and agrees with Secured Party that in addition to and cumulative of any other remedies granted in this Deed of Trust to Secured Party or the Trustee, upon or at any time after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default (defined in Article 6):
(a) Secured Party is authorized, in any legal manner and without breach of the peace, to take possession of the Collateral (Debtor hereby WAIVING all claims for damages arising from or connected with any such taking) and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and to exercise without interference from Debtor any and all rights which Debtor has with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection or preservation of the Collateral, including the right to sell or rent the same for the account of Debtor and to deduct from such sale proceeds or such rents all costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by Secured Party in collecting such sale proceeds or such rents and in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving the Collateral and to apply the remainder of such sales proceeds or such rents on the Debt in such manner as Secured Party may elect. Before any sale, Secured Party may, at its option, complete the processing of any of the Collateral and/or repair or recondition the same to such extent as Secured Party may deem advisable and any sums expended therefor by Secured Party shall be reimbursed by Xxxxxx. Secured Party may take possession of Debtor’s premises to complete such processing, repairing and/or reconditioning, using the facilities and other property of Debtor to do so, to store any Collateral and to conduct any sale as provided for herein, all without compensation to Debtor. All costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred by Secured Party in collecting such sales proceeds or such rents, or in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving the Collateral, or in processing, repairing and/or reconditioning the Collateral if not paid out of such sales proceeds or such rents as hereinabove provided, shall constitute a demand obligation owing by Debtor and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure until paid at the Past Due Rate (as defined in Article 7 below), all of which shall constitute a portion of the Debt. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, Secured Party may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess Debtor, including specifically one or more actions for forcible entry and detainer. In connection with any action taken by Secured Party pursuant to this Section, Secured Party shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Debtor resulting from any failure to sell or let the Collateral, or any part thereof, or from other act or omission of Secured Party with respect to the Collateral unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct and/or bad faith of Secured Party, nor shall Secured Party be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty, or liability under any sale or lease agreement covering the Collateral or any part thereof or under or by reason of this instrument or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder.
(b) Secured Party may, without notice except as hereinafter provided, sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale (with or without appraisal or having the Collateral at the place of sale) for cash, upon credit, or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as Secured Party may deem best, and Secured Party may be the purchaser of any and all of the Collateral so sold and may apply upon the purchase price therefor any of the Debt and thereafter hold the same absolutely free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind. Secured Party is authorized at any such sale, if Secured Party deems it advisable or is required by applicable law so to do, to disclaim and to refuse to give any warranty, and to impose such other limitations or conditions in connection with any such sale as Secured Party deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable law. Upon any such sale Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal which Debtor has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. Secured Party shall give Debtor written notice at the address set forth herein (which shall satisfy any requirement of notice or reasonable notice in any applicable statute) of Secured Party’s intention to make any such public or private sale. Such notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, at least ten (10) calendar days before the date fixed for a public sale, or at least ten (10) calendar days before the date after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made, unless the Collateral is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value. Such notice, in case of public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale or, in case of private sale or other disposition other than a public sale, the time after which the private sale or other such disposition is to be made. Any public sale shall be held at such time or times, within the ordinary business hours and at such place or places, as Secured Party may fix in the notice of such sale. At any sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels as Secured Party may determine. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale pursuant to any such notice. Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at any time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Secured Party shall incur no liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold, and in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. Each and every method of disposition described in this Section shall constitute disposition in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Obligor, to the extent applicable, shall remain liable for any deficiency.
6
(c) Secured Party shall have all the rights of a secured party after default under the Uniform Commercial Code of Montana and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights and remedies:
(i) Secured Party may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available at a place Secured Party designates which is mutually convenient to allow Secured Party to take possession or dispose of the Collateral; and
(ii) it shall not be necessary that Secured Party take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof before the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Article is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the Collateral or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale; and
(iii) before application of proceeds of disposition of the Collateral to the Debt, such proceeds shall be applied to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Secured Party, each Obligor, to the extent applicable, to remain liable for any deficiency; and
(iv) the sale by Secured Party of less than the whole of the Collateral shall not exhaust the rights of Secured Party hereunder, and Secured Party is specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales hereunder until the whole of the Collateral shall be sold; and, if the proceeds of such sale of less than the whole of the Collateral shall be less than the aggregate of the indebtedness secured hereby, this Deed of Trust and the security interest created hereby shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral just as though no sale had been made; and
(v) in the event any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Secured Party, such sale shall not exhaust the rights of Secured Party hereunder and Secured Party shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made hereunder; and
(vi) any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of any indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to Secured Party having declared all of such indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and the Collateral to be sold having been duly given, as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Secured Party, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited; and
(vii) Secured Party may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Secured Party, including the sending of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of Secured Party; and
(viii) demand of performance, advertisement and presence of property at sale are hereby WAIVED and Secured Party is hereby authorized to sell hereunder any evidence of debt it may hold as security for the secured indebtedness. All demands and presentments of any kind or nature are expressly WAIVED by Xxxxxx. Debtor WAIVES the right to require Secured Party to pursue any other remedy for the benefit of Debtor and agrees that Secured Party may proceed against any Obligor for the amount of the Debt owed to Secured Party without taking any action against any other Obligor or any other person or entity and without selling or otherwise proceeding against or applying any of the Collateral in Secured Party’s possession.
7
Section 3.3 UCC Rights are not Exclusive. Should Secured Party elect to exercise its rights under the UCC as to part of the personal property or fixtures described in this Deed of Trust, such election shall not preclude Secured Party or the Trustee from exercising any or all of the rights and remedies granted by the other Articles of this Deed of Trust as to the remaining personal property or fixtures.
Section 3.4 Deed of Trust is Also Financing Statement. Secured Party may, at its election, at any time after delivery of this Deed of Trust, file an original of this Deed of Trust as a financing statement or sign one or more copies of this Deed of Trust to use as a UCC financing statement. Secured Party’s signature may be placed between the last sentence of this Deed of Trust and Xxxxxx’s acknowledgment or may follow Xxxxxx’s acknowledgment. Secured Party’s signature need not be acknowledged and is not necessary to the effectiveness of this Deed of Trust as a deed of trust, mortgage, assignment, pledge, security agreement or (unless otherwise required by applicable law) as a financing statement.
Section 3.5 No other Financing Statements on the Collateral. So long as any amount remains unpaid on the Debt, Xxxxxx will not execute and there will not be filed in any public office any financing statements affecting the Collateral other than financing statements in favor of Secured Party under this Deed of Trust, unless prior written specific consent and approval of Secured Party shall have been first obtained.
Section 3.6 Secured Party May File Financing and Continuation Statements. Secured Party is authorized to file this Deed of Trust, a financing statement or statements and one or more continuation statements in any jurisdiction where Secured Party deems it necessary, and at Secured Party’s request, Debtor will join Secured Party in executing one or more financing statements, continuation statements or both pursuant to the UCC, in form satisfactory to Secured Party and Debtor, and will pay the costs of filing or recording them, in all public offices at any time and from time to time whenever filing or recording of this Deed of Trust, any financing statement or any continuation statement is deemed by Secured Party or its counsel to be necessary or desirable.
Section 3.7 Fixtures. Certain of the Collateral is or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the UCC) on the Real Property, and when this Deed of Trust is filed for record in the real estate records of the county where such fixtures are situated, it shall also automatically operate as a financing statement upon such of the Collateral which is or may become fixtures.
Section 3.8 Assignment of Non-UCC Personal Property. To the extent that any of the Collateral is not subject to the UCC of the state or states where it is situated, Debtor hereby assigns to Secured Party all of Debtor’s right, title and interest in the Collateral to secure the Debt. Release of the lien of this Deed of Trust shall automatically terminate this assignment without need for further documentation of such release; provided, however, Secured Party agrees, at Xxxxxx’s expense, to execute a release of the assignment if requested by Xxxxxx, in form reasonably satisfactory to Debtor and Secured Party.
Section 3.9 Debtor’s Warranties Concerning Collateral. Debtor warrants and represents to Secured Party that Debtor is the legal and equitable owner and holder of the Collateral free of any security interest or encumbrance except only for the security interest granted hereby in the Collateral and those other security interests (if any) expressly referred to or described in this Deed of Trust (such warranty to supersede any provision contained in this Deed of Trust limiting the liability of Mortgagor). Xxxxxx agrees to defend the Collateral and its proceeds against all claims and demands of any person at any time claiming the Collateral, its proceeds or any interest in either. Debtor also warrants and represents that Debtor has not heretofore signed any financing statement directly or indirectly affecting the Collateral or any part of it which has not been completely terminated of record, and no such financing statement signed by Debtor is now on file in any public office except only those statements (if any) true and correct copies of which Debtor has actually delivered to Secured Party.
Section 3.10 Certain Powers of Secured Party. Debtor hereby authorizes and directs each account debtor and each other person or entity obligated to make payment in respect of any of the Collateral (each a “Collateral Obligor”) to pay over to Secured Party, its officers, agents or assigns, upon demand by Secured Party during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, all or any part of the Collateral without making any inquiries as to the status or balance of the secured indebtedness and without any notice to or further consent of Debtor. Debtor hereby agrees to indemnify each Collateral Obligor and hold each Collateral Obligor harmless from all expenses and losses which it may incur or suffer as a result of any payment it makes to Secured Party pursuant to this paragraph. To facilitate the rights of Secured Party hereunder, Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party, its officers, employees, agents or assigns during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default:
8
(a) to notify Collateral Obligors of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral and to collect all or any part of the Collateral without further notice to or further consent by Xxxxxx, and Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints Secured Party the true and lawful attorney of Debtor (such agency being coupled with an interest), irrevocably, with power of substitution, in the name of Debtor or in its own name or otherwise, to take any of the actions described in the following clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g);
(b) to ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any and all amounts which may be or become due or payable under the Collateral and to settle and/or adjust all disputes and/or claims directly with any Collateral Obligor and to compromise, extend the time for payment, arrange for payment in installments, otherwise modify the terms of, or release, any of the Collateral, on such terms and conditions as Secured Party may determine (without thereby incurring responsibility to or discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of Debtor to Secured Party under this Deed of Trust or otherwise);
(c) to direct delivery of, receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Debtor and to execute, sign, endorse, transfer and deliver (in the name of Debtor or in its own name or otherwise) any and all receipts or other orders for the payment of money drawn on the Collateral and all notes, acceptances, commercial paper, drafts, checks, money orders and other instruments given in payment or in part payment thereof and all invoices, freight and express bills and bills of lading, storage receipts, warehouse receipts and other instruments and documents in respect of any of the Collateral and any other documents necessary to evidence, perfect and realize upon the security interests and obligations of this Deed of Trust;
(d) in its discretion to file any claim or take any other action or proceeding which Secured Party may deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the rights, titles and interests of Secured Party hereunder;
(e) to sign the name of Debtor to financing statements, drafts against Collateral Obligors, assignments or verifications of any of the Collateral and notices to Collateral Obligors;
(f) to station one or more representatives of Secured Party on Debtor’s premises for the purpose of exercising any rights, benefits or privileges available to Secured Party hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents or at law or in equity, including receiving collections and taking possession of books and records relating to the Collateral; and
(g) to cause title to any or all of the Collateral to be transferred into the name of Secured Party or any nominee or nominees of Secured Party.
The powers conferred on Secured Party pursuant to this Section are conferred solely to protect Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty or obligation on Secured Party to perform any of the powers herein conferred. No exercise of any of the rights provided for in this Section shall constitute a retention of the Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the indebtedness as provided for in the Uniform Commercial Code of Montana.
Section 3.11 Standard of Care. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession if it takes such action for that purpose as Debtor requests in writing, but failure of Secured Party to comply with such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure of Secured Party to take any action not so requested by Debtor shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of any such Collateral.
Section 3.12 Change Terms, Release Collateral. During the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, otherwise modify the terms of, or release, any of the Collateral, without thereby incurring responsibility to Debtor or discharging or otherwise affecting any liability of Debtor. Secured Party shall not be required to take steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.

(a) Liens, etc. and Remedies Cumulative.

10
(vi) Mortgagee agrees that the amounts and type of insurance coverage set forth in the Fed Ex Lease are satisfactory to Mortgagee.
(vii) Other Insurance Required. Such other insurance against other insurable hazards, risks or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of owners and premises similarly situated, due regard being given to the financial condition of Mortgagor, the height and type of the Property, its construction, location, use and occupancy.
TEXAS FINANCE CODE SECTION 307.052 COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE NOTICE: (A) MORTGAGOR IS REQUIRED TO: (I) KEEP THE PROPERTY INSURED AGAINST DAMAGE IN THE AMOUNT MORTGAGEE SPECIFIES; (II) PURCHASE THE INSURANCE FROM AN INSURER THAT IS AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS OR AN ELIGIBLE SURPLUS LINES INSURER; AND (III) NAME MORTGAGEE AS THE PERSON TO BE PAID UNDER THE POLICY IN THE EVENT OF A LOSS; (B) MORTGAGOR MUST, IF REQUIRED BY MORTGAGEE, DELIVER TO MORTGAGEE A COPY OF THE POLICY AND PROOF OF THE PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS; AND (C) IF MORTGAGOR FAILS TO MEET ANY REQUIREMENT LISTED IN PARAGRAPH (A) OR (B), MORTGAGEE MAY OBTAIN COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE ON BEHALF OF MORTGAGOR AT MORTGAGOR’S EXPENSE.
(e) Insurance Companies, Policies, Endorsements and Premium Payments. Xxxxxxxxx agrees that all required insurance will be written on forms acceptable to Mortgagee and by companies having a Best’s Insurance Guide Rating of not less than A or A- and which are otherwise acceptable to Mortgagee, and that such insurance (other than third party liability insurance) shall be written or endorsed so that all losses are payable to Mortgagee. Certificates evidencing such insurance shall be delivered by Mortgagor to Mortgagee. Each such policy shall expressly prohibit cancellation or modification of insurance without thirty (30) days’ written notice to Mortgagee. Xxxxxxxxx agrees to furnish due proof of payment of the premiums for all such insurance to Mortgagee promptly after each such payment is made and in any case at least fifteen (15) days before payment becomes delinquent.
(f) Mortgagee’s Rights to Collect Insurance Proceeds. Except as permitted in Section 4.1(h) below, Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the exclusive right to collect any and all monies that may become payable under any insurance policies covering any part of the Property, or any risk to or about the Property.
(g) Effects of Foreclosure on Insurance Policies and Post-foreclosure Event Claims. Foreclosure of this Deed of Trust shall automatically constitute foreclosure upon all policies of insurance insuring any part of or risk to the Property and all claims thereunder arising from post-foreclosure events. The successful bidder or bidders for the Property at foreclosure, as their respective interests may appear, shall automatically accede to all of Mortgagor’s rights in, under and to such policies and all post-foreclosure event claims, and such bidder(s) shall be named as insured(s) on request, whether or not the trustee’s deed or bill of sale to any such successful bidder mentions insurance.
(h) Application of Insurance Proceeds Collected Before Foreclosure. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so long as Mortgagee is satisfied that the applicable proceeds (together with other funds deposited with Mortgagee by or on behalf of Mortgagor for the purpose of repair and restoration of the applicable damage or destruction) are sufficient to pay all costs of repair and restoration of the applicable damage or destruction, Mortgagee will hold all proceeds of insurance which was paid for by Mortgagor or by anyone other than Mortgagee or another holder of any of the Debt and which proceeds are actually received by Mortgagee before foreclosure (and such other funds deposited with Mortgagee) and will disburse the same as such repairs or restoration are made, upon such terms and conditions as Mortgagee may elect, and upon presentation of satisfactory evidence to Mortgagee that payment is being requested for permissible repair and restoration and without the imposition of any lien on the Property. Any insurance proceeds remaining if Mortgagor and Mortgagee do not agree to the terms of the advance of the funds for repair and restoration within thirty (30) days after the event producing such funds, or if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, shall be applied in payment of the Debt or, at the option of Mortgagee, shall be paid to Mortgagor or to such other person as is legally entitled to them. Any insurance proceeds held by Mortgagee remaining after Mortgagee is reasonably satisfied that completion of repair and restoration has occurred, that bills therefor have been fully paid, and that all mechanic’s and materialman’s lien rights have been released, shall be paid promptly to Mortgagor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and provided no Event of Default exists, Xxxxxxxxx shall have the right to make proof of loss, to adjust or compromise any claims under policies of property damage insurance and to collect, receive and use the proceeds to restore the Property for an event of loss where total claims for such loss are equal to $150,000 or less. Mortgagor shall provide Mortgagee with written evidence of the nature of the claim, the amount of proceeds actually received, and shall promptly use the proceeds to repair and restore the damaged portions of the Property.
11
(i) Application of Insurance Proceeds Collected After Foreclosure. Unless Mortgagee or Mortgagee’s representative reserves at the foreclosure sale the right to collect any uncollected insurance proceeds recoverable for events occurring before foreclosure (in which event the successful bidder at the sale, if not Mortgagee, shall have no interest in such proceeds and Mortgagee shall apply them, if and when collected, to the Debt in such order and manner as Mortgagee shall then elect and remit any remaining balance to Mortgagor or to such other person or entity as is legally entitled to them), all proceeds of all such insurance which are not so reserved by Mortgagee at the foreclosure sale and are not actually received by Mortgagee until after foreclosure shall be the property of the successful bidder or bidders at foreclosure, as their interests may appear, and Xxxxxxxxx shall have no interest in them and shall receive no credit for them.
(j) Mortgagee Not Obligated to Require, Provide or Evaluate Insurance. Mortgagee shall have no duty to Mortgagor or anyone else to either require or provide any insurance or to determine the adequacy or disclose any inadequacy of any insurance.
(k) Mortgagee May Elect to Insure Only its Own Interests. If Mortgagee elects at any time or for any reason to purchase insurance relating to the Property, it shall have no obligation to cause Mortgagor or anyone else to be named as an insured, to cause Xxxxxxxxx’s or anyone else’s interests to be insured or protected or to inform Mortgagor or anyone else that his or its interests are uninsured or underinsured.
(l) Mortgagor Will Correct Defects, Provide Further Assurances and Papers. Upon Mortgagee’s request, Xxxxxxxxx will promptly correct any defect which hereafter may be discovered in the text, execution or acknowledgment of the Note, this Deed of Trust or any Credit Document or in the description of any of the Property, and will deliver such further assurances and execute such additional papers as in the opinion of Mortgagee or its legal counsel shall be necessary, proper or appropriate (1) to better convey and assign to the Trustee and Mortgagee all the Property intended or promised to be conveyed or assigned or (2) to properly evidence or give notice of the Debt or its intended or promised security.
(m) Mortgagor Will Pay Taxes and Impositions and Furnish Receipts. At Mortgagor’s own cost and expense, Xxxxxxxxx agrees to pay and discharge all taxes, assessments, maintenance charges, permit fees, impact fees, development fees, capital recovery charges, utility reservation and standby fees and all other similar and dissimilar impositions of every kind and character (“Impositions”) charged, levied, assessed or imposed against any interest in any of the Property, as they become payable and before they become delinquent; provided, however, that Xxxxxxxxx shall have the right to actively contest such Impositions in good faith if Mortgagor shall establish adequate reserves or shall deposit with Mortgagee, if requested by Mortgagee, sufficient cash to pay any such contested Impositions that are later determined to be properly owed by Xxxxxxxxx; and provided, further, that no attempts shall be made to foreclose any lien for such Impositions, and Mortgagor shall continue to diligently and actively contest such Impositions. Xxxxxxxxx agrees to furnish due proof of such payment to Mortgagee promptly after payment and before delinquency.
(n) Mortgagor to Pay Monthly Tax and Insurance Deposits on Request. If and after Mortgagee requests it, following the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, Xxxxxxxxx agrees to pay the monthly tax and insurance premium deposits required by Article 8 and to provide Mortgagee any additional sums needed to pay the taxes and insurance premiums for the Property when due.
12
(o) Mortgagor Will Maintain Property and Won’t Remove Improvements. Xxxxxxxxx agrees to keep, preserve and maintain all elements of the Property in a good state of repair and condition and to keep all equipment and stores of supplies needed for its proper and full operation on the Property, well stocked and in good operating condition. Mortgagor will not tear down, damage or attempt to remove, demolish or materially alter or enlarge any elements of the Property, or construct any new Improvements, without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (except that Xxxxxxxxx’s consent shall not be required for any such item which is permitted under the Leases or the cost of which does not exceed $500,000 and which is done in the ordinary course of Xxxxxxxxx’s operation of the Property). Mortgagor shall have the right, without such consent, to remove and dispose of, free from the lien, assignments and security interests of this Deed of Trust, such Fixtures and Equipment as from time to time become worn out or obsolete, provided that either (a) simultaneously with or before such removal any such equipment shall be replaced with other equipment of a value at least equal to that of the replaced equipment and free from any title retention or security agreement or other encumbrance and from any reservation of title, and by such removal and replacement Mortgagor shall be deemed to have subjected such equipment to the lien, assignments and security interests of this Deed of Trust or (b) any net cash proceeds received (after replacement of the item as set forth in subparagraph (a) above) from such disposition shall be paid over promptly to Mortgagee to be applied to the Debt in the order determined by Mortgagee in its sole discretion. Mortgagor shall not grant, join in or consent to any lien, security interest, easement, license, use or other charge or interest covering or affecting all or any part of the Property or initiate, join in and consent to the change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning ordinance or other public or private restrictions limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(p) Mortgagor Will Protect Property from Mechanic’s Liens. Mortgagor agrees to promptly pay all bills for labor and materials incurred in connection with the Property and to prevent the fixing of any lien against any part of the Property, even if it is inferior to this Deed of Trust, for any such bill which may be legally due and payable; provided, however, that Mortgagor or a tenant under a Lease shall have the right to actively contest such liens in good faith if Mortgagor or such tenant shall establish adequate reserves or shall deposit with Mortgagee sufficient cash to pay any such contested liens that are later determined to be properly owed by Mortgagor or tenant, or Mortgagor or tenant has posted a bond or other collateral reasonably satisfactory in all respects to Mortgagee, and provided, further, that no attempts shall be made to foreclose any such liens, and Mortgagor or tenant shall continue to diligently and actively contest such liens. Xxxxxxxxx agrees to furnish due proof of such payment to Mortgagee after payment and before delinquency.
(q) Mortgagee’s Inspection and Discussion Rights. Xxxxxxxxx agrees to permit Mortgagee and its agents, representatives and employees at all reasonable times upon at least three business days notice to go upon, examine, inspect and remain on the Mortgaged Property, to assist and cooperate, and require Xxxxxxxxx’s employees, agents and contractors to cooperate, with Mortgagee and to furnish to Mortgagee on request all pertinent information concerning the physical and economic condition, development and operation of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee may discuss the Mortgaged Property directly with any of Mortgagor’s officers and managers.
(r) Mortgagee May Grant Releases without Impairing Other Collateral or Rights. At all times, Mortgagee shall have the right to release any part of the Property or any other security from this Deed of Trust or any other security instrument or device without releasing any other part of the Property or any other security, without affecting Mortgagee’s lien, assignment or security interest as to any property or rights not released and without affecting or impairing the liability of any maker, guarantor or surety on the Note or other obligation.
(s) Mortgagor Will Notify Mortgagee of Legal Proceedings and Defend Lien; Mortgagee May Act if Mortgagor Doesn’t. Xxxxxxxxx will notify Mortgagee in writing promptly of the commencement of any legal proceedings affecting any part of the Property and will engage and pay legal counsel to answer and to defend and preserve Mortgagee’s liens, rights and interests and their rank and priority. If Xxxxxxxxx fails or refuses to promptly begin or to diligently continue any such acts, then Mortgagee may elect to do so and may take such action in behalf of Xxxxxxxxx, in Xxxxxxxxx’s name and at Xxxxxxxxx’s expense.
(t) If Mortgagor is not a Natural Person. If Xxxxxxxxx has represented to Mortgagee that Mortgagor is not a natural person, then it and its directors, partners, venturers, trustee(s) or principals agree to maintain its existence as such and to obtain and maintain all franchises and permits necessary for it continuously to be in good standing in the State of Montana and in the state of its organization (if not Montana) with full power and authority to conduct its regular business and to own and operate the Mortgaged Property until final termination of this Deed of Trust.
13
(u) Vendor’s Lien and Purchase Money Security Interest. Xxxxxxxxx agrees that to the full extent that any of the proceeds of the Note have been or are paid or applied towards the purchase of any real or personal property, it shall be conclusively presumed to have been done at Mortgagor’s special instance and request, and Mortgagor hereby acknowledges and recognizes the existence of a vendor’s lien and a purchase money security interest in favor of Mortgagee against such property, as security for the Note in addition to and cumulative of the lien, assignments and security interest of this Deed of Trust, in the same manner in the case of real property as if an express vendor’s lien and the superior title had been reserved in the deed from the seller of such property and expressly therein assigned by the seller to Mortgagee. Foreclosure under this Deed of Trust shall also constitute foreclosure of said vendor’s lien or purchase money security interest.
(v) Notice of Default to Mortgagee. Immediately upon acquiring knowledge thereof, Xxxxxxxxx will notify Mortgagee by telephone (and confirm such notice in writing within two (2) days) of the existence of any Event of Default, specifying the nature and duration thereof and what action Xxxxxxxxx has taken, is taking and proposes to take with respect thereto. In no event shall silence by Mortgagee be deemed a waiver of a default or of an Event of Default. Mortgagor will take all such steps as are necessary or appropriate to remedy promptly any such default or Event of Default.
(w) Notice of Condemnation and Other Proceedings. Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof, or any other proceedings arising out of injury or damage to the Property, or any portion thereof, Xxxxxxxxx will notify Mortgagee in writing of the pendency of such proceedings. Mortgagee may participate in any such proceedings, and Xxxxxxxxx shall from time to time deliver to Mortgagee all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Mortgagor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Mortgagee, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.
(x) Notice of Name or Address Change. Mortgagor will not change Xxxxxxxxx’s name or the location of its chief executive office (or residence if a natural person) without first notifying Mortgagee in writing of such change at least thirty (30) days before its effective date.
(y) Additional Information. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee from time to time such information relating to the Property or Xxxxxxxxx’s financial condition and affairs as Mortgagee may from time to time request or as may be required from time to time by any Credit Document.
(z) Proper Books. Mortgagor shall at all times maintain proper books of record and account in accordance with sound accounting practice in which true, full and correct entries will be made of all its dealings and business affairs, and will set aside on its books adequate reserves for depletion, depreciation, obsolescence and/or amortization of its property, and all other reserves which, in accordance with sound accounting practice, should be set aside, and will write down, to the estimated salvage value thereof, all property not useful in its business. Mortgagee shall be entitled to have such books examined and audited at any time upon reasonable prior notice to Mortgagor by Mortgagee’s agents.
Section 4.2 Mortgagor Agrees to Pay or Reimburse Mortgagee’s Expenses. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Xxxxxxxxx will pay all reasonable costs and expenses and reimburse Mortgagee for any and all expenditures of every character incurred or expended from time to time, regardless of whether an Event of Default shall have occurred, in connection with:
(a) the preparation, negotiation, documentation, closing, renewal, revision, modification, increase, review or restructuring of any loan or credit facility secured by this Deed of Trust, including legal, accounting, auditing, architectural, engineering and inspection services and disbursements, or in connection with collecting or attempting to enforce or collect the Note or this Deed of Trust.
(b) Mortgagee’s evaluating, monitoring, administering and protecting the Property.
(c) Mortgagee’s creating, perfecting and realizing upon Mortgagee’s security interest in and liens on the Property, and all costs and expenses relating to Mortgagee’s exercising any of its rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust or any Credit Document or at law, including all appraisal fees, consulting fees, filing fees, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, title review and abstract fees, litigation report fees, UCC search fees, other fees and expenses incident to title searches, reports and security interests, escrow fees, attorneys’ fees, legal expenses, court costs, other fees and expenses incurred in connection with any complete or partial liquidation of the Property, and all fees and expenses for any professional services relating to the Property or any operations conducted in connection with it.
14
Provided, that no right or option granted by Mortgagor to Mortgagee or otherwise arising pursuant to any provision of this Deed of Trust, the Note or any Credit Document shall be deemed to impose or admit a duty on Mortgagee to supervise, monitor or control any aspect of the character or condition of the Property or any operations conducted in connection with it for the benefit of Mortgagor or any person or entity other than Mortgagee. Xxxxxxxxx agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Mortgagee, its shareholders, directors, officers, agents, attorneys, advisors and employees (collectively “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, obligation, damage, penalty, judgment, claim, deficiency, expense, action, suit, cost and disbursement of any kind or nature whatsoever (including interest, penalties, attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED HEREIN, imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties growing out of or resulting from any Credit Document or any transaction or event contemplated therein (except that such indemnity shall not be paid to any Indemnified Party to the extent that such loss, liability, obligation, damage, penalty, judgment, claim, deficiency, expense, action, suit, cost and disbursement of any kind or nature whatsoever directly results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnified Party). If any person or entity (including Mortgagor or any of its affiliates) ever alleges gross negligence or willful misconduct by an Indemnified Party, the full amount of indemnification provided for in this Section shall nonetheless be paid upon demand, subject to later adjustment or reimbursement at such time, if any, as a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment as to the extent and effect of the alleged gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any amount to be paid under this Section by Mortgagor to Mortgagee shall be a demand obligation owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure until paid at the Past Due Rate.
ARTICLE 5
XXXXXXXXX’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce Mortgagee to extend financial accommodations, including credit under the Note, Xxxxxxxxx makes the warranties and representations set forth in this Article.
Section 5.1 Mortgagor Solvent. Mortgagor is now solvent, and no bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are pending or contemplated by, or to Xxxxxxxxx’s knowledge, against Mortgagor. Xxxxxxxxx’s liabilities and obligations under this Deed of Trust and any other Credit Documents to which Xxxxxxxxx is a party do not and will not render Mortgagor insolvent, cause Xxxxxxxxx’s liabilities to exceed Xxxxxxxxx’s assets or leave Mortgagor with too little capital to properly conduct all of its business as now conducted or contemplated to be conducted.
Section 5.2 Title. Xxxxxxxxx has good and indefeasible title to the Property, free and clear of any lien or security interest except only for liens and security interests which are either established or expressly permitted by this Deed of Trust or other Credit Documents. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Deed of Trust, the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust will constitute valid and perfected first and prior liens and security interests on the Property, subject to no other liens, security interests or charges whatsoever. The Property is free from damage caused by fire or other casualty.
Section 5.3 Mortgagor Has All Necessary Rights. Mortgagor possesses all permits, licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names and copyrights required to conduct its business.

Said sale shall forever be a bar against Xxxxxxxxx, its heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and all other persons claiming under it. It is expressly agreed that the recitals in each conveyance to the purchaser shall be full evidence of the truth of the matters therein stated, and all lawful prerequisites to said sale shall be conclusively presumed to have been performed.

If Mortgagee should institute suit for collection of the Debt or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, Mortgagee may at any time before the entry of final judgment dismiss it and require the Trustee to sell the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust.
Section 6.7 Multiple Sales; Deed of Trust Continues in Effect. No single sale or series of sales by the Trustee or by any substitute or successor and no judicial foreclosure shall extinguish the lien or exhaust the power of sale under this Deed of Trust except with respect to the items of property sold, nor shall it extinguish, terminate or impair Mortgagor’s contractual obligations under this Deed of Trust, but such lien and power shall exist for so long as, and may be exercised in any manner by law or in this Deed of Trust provided as often as the circumstances require to give Mortgagee full relief under this Deed of Trust, and such contractual obligations shall continue in full force and effect until final termination of this Deed of Trust.
Section 6.8 Mortgagee May Bid and Purchase. Mortgagee shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale made under this Deed of Trust, being the highest bidder, and credit given upon all or any part of the Debt shall be the exact equivalent of cash paid for the purposes of this Deed of Trust.
Section 6.9 Successor or Substitute Trustee. In case of absence, death, inability, refusal or failure of the Trustee in this Deed of Trust named to act, or in case he should resign (and he is hereby authorized to resign without notice to or consent of Xxxxxxxxx), or if Mortgagee shall desire, with or without cause, to replace the Trustee in this Deed of Trust named, or to replace any successor or substitute previously named, Mortgagee or any agent or attorney-in-fact for Mortgagee may name, constitute and appoint a successor and substitute trustee (or another one) without other formality than an appointment and designation in writing, which need not be acknowledged, filed or recorded to be effective, except only in those circumstances--if any--where acknowledgment, filing and/or recording is required by applicable law and such law also precludes Mortgagor from effectively waiving such requirement. Upon such appointment, this conveyance shall automatically vest in such substitute trustee, as Trustee, the estate in and title to all of the Mortgaged Property, and such substitute Trustee so appointed and designated shall thereupon hold, possess and exercise all the title, rights, powers and duties in this Deed of Trust conferred on the Trustee named and any previous successor or substitute Trustee, and his conveyance to the purchaser at any such sale shall be equally valid and effective as if made by the Trustee named in this Deed of Trust. Such right to appoint a substitute Trustee shall exist and may be exercised as often and whenever from any of said causes, or without cause, as aforesaid, Mortgagee or Mortgagee’s agent or attorney-in-fact elects to exercise it.
17
Section 6.10 Right to Receiver. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or at any time after commencement of a Trustee’s foreclosure sale or any legal proceedings under this Deed of Trust, Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee’s election and by or through the Trustee or otherwise, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver of the Property, as a matter of strict right, without notice to Mortgagor and without regard to the adequacy of the value of the Property for the repayment of the Debt, and Xxxxxxxxx hereby irrevocably consents to such an appointment and waives any notice or hearing with respect thereto. Any receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to possess, rent, maintain, repair and operate the Property upon such terms and conditions as may be approved by the court, and shall apply the rents realized in the same manner and order as foreclosure proceeds in accordance with Section 6.5.
Section 6.11 Tenants at Will. Mortgagor agrees for itself and its heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, that if any of them shall hold possession of the Property or any part thereof subsequent to foreclosure hereunder, Mortgagor, or the parties so holding possession, shall become and be considered as tenants at will of the purchaser or purchasers at such foreclosure sale; and any such tenant failing or refusing to surrender possession upon demand shall be guilty of forcible detainer and shall be liable to such purchaser or purchasers for rental on said premises, and shall be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law, all damages which may be sustained by any such tenant as a result thereof being hereby expressly waived.
Section 6.12 Lifting of Automatic Stay. In the event that Mortgagor or any other Obligor is the subject of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding, federal or state, voluntary or involuntary, under any present or future law or act, Mortgagee is entitled to the automatic and absolute lifting of any automatic stay as to the enforcement of its remedies under the Credit Documents against the security for the Debt, including specifically the stay imposed by Section 362 of the United States Federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended. Mortgagor hereby consents to the immediate lifting of any such automatic stay, and will not contest any motion by Mortgagee to lift such stay. Xxxxxxxxx expressly acknowledges that the security for the Debt is not now and will never be necessary to any plan of reorganization of any type.
ARTICLE 7
MORTGAGEE’S RIGHT TO PERFORM XXXXXXXXX’S OBLIGATIONS
Section 7.1 Mortgagee May Elect to Perform Defaulted Obligations. If Mortgagor should fail to comply with any of its agreements, covenants or obligations under this Deed of Trust, the Note, or any other Credit Document, then Mortgagee (in Mortgagor’s name or in Mortgagee’s own name) may perform them or cause them to be performed for Xxxxxxxxx’s account and at Xxxxxxxxx’s expense, but shall have no obligation to perform any of them or cause them to be performed. Any and all expenses thus incurred or paid by Mortgagee shall be Mortgagor’s obligations to Mortgagee due and payable on demand, or if no demand is sooner made, then they shall be due on or before four (4) years after the respective dates on which they were incurred, and each shall bear interest from the date Mortgagee pays it until the date Mortgagor repays it to Mortgagee, at the Past Due Rate. Upon making any such payment or incurring any such expense, Mortgagee shall be fully and automatically subrogated to all of the rights of the person, corporation or body politic receiving such payment. Any amounts owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee pursuant to this or any other provision of this Deed of Trust shall automatically and without notice be and become a part of the Debt and shall be secured by this and all other instruments securing the Debt. The amount and nature of any such expense and the time when it was paid shall be fully established by the affidavit of Mortgagee or any of Mortgagee’s officers or agents or by the affidavit of any original, substitute or successor Trustee acting under this Deed of Trust.
Section 7.2 Exercise of Rights is not Waiver or Cure of Default. The exercise of the privileges granted to Mortgagee in this Article shall in no event be considered or constitute a cure of the default or a waiver of Mortgagee’s right at any time after an Event of Default to declare the Debt to be at once due and payable, but is cumulative of such right and of all other rights given by this Deed of Trust, the Note and the Credit Documents and of all rights given Mortgagee by law.
18
ARTICLE 8
TAX AND INSURANCE DEPOSITS
In addition to the Debt payments, promptly after Mortgagee requests it at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Xxxxxxxxx agrees to deposit with Mortgagee each month an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the aggregate of (i) the next succeeding premiums (or payments in respect of them, if premiums are financed) on all insurance policies which Mortgagor is required by or pursuant to this Deed of Trust to maintain on the Property, and (ii) the amount of the next succeeding annual tax payments, assessment installments, maintenance charges and other Impositions to become due and payable with respect to the Property, as estimated by Mortgagee, plus, with the first of such monthly deposits, an additional month’s share (a twelfth) of such premiums and taxes for each month less than twelve remaining before the next payment thereof falls due. At least fifteen (15) days before the date on which any such insurance premium (or payment in respect of it, if premiums are financed) or any of the Impositions must be paid to avoid delinquency, promptly after Mortgagee’s request, Xxxxxxxxx agrees to deliver to Mortgagee a statement or statements showing the amount of the premium (or payment in respect of it, if premiums are financed) or Impositions required to be paid and the name and mailing address of the concern or authority to which it is payable and, at the same time, Xxxxxxxxx agrees to deposit with Mortgagee such amounts as will, when added to the amount of such deposits previously made and then remaining available for the purpose, be sufficient to pay such insurance obligations or Impositions. Mortgagee shall have the right to and will, if, as and when requested by Xxxxxxxxx to do so, apply such deposits in payment of such insurance obligations and Impositions. Mortgagor hereby waives the limitations imposed by Xxxx. Code Xxx. § 71-1-113, and Xxxxxxxxx and Mortgagee hereby agree, in accordance with Mont. Code Xxx. § 71-1-114, that funds on reserve pursuant to this Deed of Trust for the payment of taxes, insurance premiums, or other expenses may exceed 110% of the reasonable amount needed to pay such expenses.
ARTICLE 9
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS
Section 9.1 Assignment of Rents, Revenues, Income and Profits. Mortgagor hereby assigns and transfers to Mortgagee all rents, revenues, income and profits (“Rental”) payable under each Lease (hereinafter defined) now or at any time hereinafter existing, such assignment being upon the terms set forth in Section 9.2 below. The term “Lease” or “Leases” means any oral or written agreement between Mortgagor and another person or entity to use or occupy all or any portion of the Property, together with any guaranties or security for the obligations of any tenant, lessee, sublessee or other person or entity having the right to occupy, use or manage any part of the Property under a Lease. Each time Mortgagor enters into a Lease, such Lease shall automatically become subject to this Article without further action.
Section 9.2 Assignment is Absolute; Grant of Revocable License to Mortgagor to Collect Rental before an Event of Default. The transfer of Rental to Mortgagee shall be upon the following terms: (a) until receipt from Mortgagee of notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagor shall have the right under a retained and reserved license (but limited as provided herein) to collect Rental and each tenant may pay Rental directly to Mortgagor; but after an Event of Default, Mortgagor’s license shall automatically terminate and be revoked and to the extent Mortgagor collects any Rental thereafter accruing or paid, Mortgagor covenants to hold all such Rental in trust for the use and benefit of Mortgagee; (b) upon receipt from Mortgagee of notice that an Event of Default exists, each tenant is hereby authorized and directed to pay directly to Mortgagee all Rental thereafter accruing or payable and receipt of Rental by Mortgagee shall be a release of such tenant to the extent of all amounts so paid; (c) Rental so received by Mortgagee shall be applied by Mortgagee, first to the expenses, if any, of collection and then in accordance with Section 6.5 hereof; (d) without impairing its rights hereunder, Mortgagee may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, release to Mortgagor Rental so received by Mortgagee, or any part thereof; (e) Mortgagee shall not be liable for its failure to collect or its failure to exercise diligence in the collection of Rental, but shall be accountable only for Rental that it shall actually receive; and (f) the assignment contained in this Article shall terminate upon the release of this Deed of Trust, but no tenant shall be required to take notice of termination until a copy of such release shall have been delivered to such tenant. The assignment contained in this Article is intended to be absolute, unconditional and presently effective. It shall never be necessary for Mortgagee to institute legal proceedings of any kind whatsoever to enforce the provisions of this Article. It is agreed that any Rental retained and reserved by Mortgagor pursuant to the aforementioned license will not constitute a payment by the Mortgagor to Mortgagee of any portion of the Debt (and hence will not be credited to the Debt) until the Rental is actually paid to the Mortgagee and retained by the Mortgagee and then, in such event, the Rental so received shall be applied in accordance with this Section 9.2.
19
Section 9.3 Remedies. Should an Event of Default occur, Xxxxxxxxx agrees to deliver to Mortgagee possession and control of all Rental held by Xxxxxxxxx in trust for the benefit of Mortgagee. Mortgagor specifically agrees that Mortgagee may upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or at any time thereafter, personally or through an agent selected by Mortgagee, take--or have the Trustee take--possession and control of all or any part of the Property and may receive and collect all Rental theretofore accrued and all thereafter accruing therefrom until the final termination of this Deed of Trust or until the foreclosure of the lien of this Deed of Trust, applying so much thereof as may be collected before sale of the Property by the Trustee or judicial foreclosure of this Deed of Trust first to the expenses of Mortgagee incurred in obtaining the Rental and then applying the Rental so received in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.5 hereof. Any such action by Mortgagee shall not operate as a waiver of the Event of Default in question, or as an affirmance of any Lease or of the rights of any tenant in the event title to that part of the Property covered by the Lease or held by the tenant should be acquired by Mortgagee or other purchaser at foreclosure sale. Mortgagee, Mortgagee’s agent or the Trustee may use against Mortgagor or any other person such lawful or peaceable means as the person acting may see fit to enforce the collection of any such Rental or to secure possession of the Property, or any part of it and may settle or compromise on any terms as Mortgagee, Mortgagee’s agent or the Trustee sees fit, the liability of any person or persons for any such Rental. In particular, Mortgagee, Mortgagee’s agent or the Trustee may institute and prosecute to final conclusion actions of forcible entry and detainer, or actions of trespass to try title, or actions for damages, or any other appropriate actions, in the name of Mortgagee, Mortgagor, or the Trustee, and may settle, compromise or abandon any such actions as Mortgagee, Mortgagee’s agent or the Trustee may see fit; and Mortgagor binds itself and its successors and assigns to take whatever lawful or peaceable steps Mortgagee, Mortgagee’s agent or the Trustee may ask of it or any such person or concern so claiming to take for such purposes, including the institution and prosecution of actions of the character above stated. However, neither Mortgagee, Mortgagee’s agent nor the Trustee shall be obligated to collect any such Rental or be liable or chargeable for failure to do so. Upon any sale of the Property or any part thereof in foreclosure of the lien or security interest created by this Deed of Trust, such Rental so sold which thereafter accrues shall be deemed included in such sale and shall pass to the purchaser free and clear of the assignment made in this Article. Nothing in this Section is intended to require the Mortgagee to institute any legal proceedings or engage in any self help remedies in order to make the absolute assignment of the Rental to Mortgagee operative.
Section 9.4 Mortgagee in Possession; No Liability of Mortgagee. Mortgagee’s acceptance of this assignment shall not, before entry upon and taking possession of the Property by Mortgagee, be deemed to constitute Mortgagee a “mortgagee in possession,” nor obligate Mortgagee to appear in or defend any proceeding relating to any of the Leases or to the Property, take any action hereunder, expend any money, incur any expenses or perform any obligation or liability under the Leases, or assume any obligation under the Leases including the obligation to return any deposit delivered to Mortgagor by any tenant. Mortgagee shall not be liable for any injury or damage to person or property in or about the Property. Neither the collection of Rental due under the Leases herein described nor possession of the Property by Mortgagee shall render Mortgagee liable with respect to any obligations of Mortgagor under any of the Leases.
Section 9.5 Additional Covenants, Warranties and Representations Concerning Leases and Rental. Mortgagor covenants, warrants and represents that:
(a) To Xxxxxxxxx’s knowledge as of the date of this Deed of Trust, neither Xxxxxxxxx nor any previous owner has entered into any prior oral or written assignment, pledge or reservation of the Rental, entered into any prior assignment or pledge of Xxxxxxxxx’s landlord interests in any Lease or performed any act or executed any other instruments which might prevent or limit Mortgagee from operating under the terms and conditions of this Article;
(b) Mortgagor has good title to the Leases and Xxxxxx hereby assigned and the authority to assign same, and no other person or entity has any right, title or interest in and to the landlord’s interests therein;
20
(c) All existing Leases are valid, unmodified and in full force and effect, except as disclosed in writing to Mortgagee, and no default exists thereunder;
(d) No Rental has been, nor does Mortgagor anticipate that any Rental will be, waived, released, discounted, set off or compromised, except as disclosed to Mortgagee in writing before the date hereof;
(e) Except as disclosed to Mortgagee in writing before the date hereof, Xxxxxxxxx has not received any funds or deposits from any tenant for which credit has not already been made on account of accrued Rental;
(f) Mortgagor shall (i) perform all of the terms and conditions of the Leases, (ii) upon Mortgagee’s request, execute an additional assignment to Mortgagee of all Leases then affecting the Property and all Rental and other sums due thereunder by assignment(s) in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee and (iii) at the request of Mortgagee, record such Leases and the assignment(s) thereof to Mortgagee. Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, amend, modify, extend, renew, terminate, cancel or surrender any Lease or suffer or permit any of the foregoing, orally or in writing;
(g) Mortgagor shall not execute any Lease unless the form of the Lease has been approved by Mortgagee and the tenant under such Lease and the terms of such Lease shall comply with leasing standards for the Property from time to time approved by Mortgagee in writing;
(h) Mortgagor shall give immediate notice to Mortgagee of any notice Mortgagor received from any tenant or subtenant under any Leases specifying any claimed default by any party under such Leases;
(i) Mortgagor shall enforce the tenants’ obligations under the Leases;
(j) Mortgagor shall defend, at Xxxxxxxxx’s expense, any proceeding pertaining to the Leases, including, if Mortgagee so requests, any such proceeding to which Mortgagee is a party;
(k) Mortgagor shall neither create nor permit any encumbrance upon its interest as landlord under the Leases, except for this Deed of Trust and any other encumbrances permitted by this Deed of Trust;
(l) Mortgagor shall not encumber or assign, or permit the encumbrance or assignment of, any Leases or Rental without the prior written consent of Mortgagee;
(m) Mortgagor shall not waive or release any obligation of any tenant under the Leases without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
(n) Each Lease executed after the date hereof shall contain a statement signed by the Mortgagor that such Lease is subject to this Deed of Trust;
(o) Mortgagor shall from time to time furnish to Mortgagee, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, true, correct and complete copies of all Leases or any portion of the Leases specified by Mortgagee; and
(p) Mortgagor shall not in any event collect any Rental more than one (1) month in advance of the time it will be earned (and if Mortgagor does so, in addition to any other rights or remedies available by reason of such Event of Default, all Rental so collected more than one (1) month in advance of the time it is earned shall be delivered to Mortgagee to be applied to the Debt).
Section 9.6 Merger. There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created by the Leases with the fee or any other estate in the Property without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
Section 9.7 Reassignment. By Xxxxxxxxx’s acceptance of this Deed of Trust, it is understood and agreed that a full and complete release of this Deed of Trust shall operate as a full and complete reassignment to Mortgagor of the Mortgagee’s rights and interests under this Article (subject to the automatic reinstatement provisions of Section 10.21 below).
21
Section 9.8 Subordination of Deed of Trust to Leases. It is agreed and understood that Mortgagee hereby reserves the right and shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, without the consent or joinder of any other party, to subordinate this Deed of Trust and the liens, assignments and security interests created by this Deed of Trust to all or any of the Leases regardless of the respective priority of any of such Leases and this Deed of Trust. Upon doing so and filing evidence of such subordination in the real property records in the county or counties where the Real Property is located, a foreclosure of Mortgagee’s liens, assignments and security interests under this Deed of Trust shall be subject to and shall not operate to extinguish any of said Leases as to which such subordination is operative.
ARTICLE 10
GENERAL AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 10.1 Debt May be Changed without Affecting this Deed of Trust. Any of the Debt may be extended, rearranged, renewed, increased or otherwise changed in any way, and any part of the security described in this Deed of Trust or any other security for any part of the Debt may be waived or released without in anyway altering or diminishing the force, effect or lien of this Deed of Trust, and the lien, assignment and security interest granted by this Deed of Trust shall continue as a prior lien, assignment and security interest on all of the Property not expressly so released, until the final termination of this Deed of Trust.
Section 10.2 Security is Cumulative. No other security now existing or hereafter taken to secure any part of the Debt or the performance of any obligation or liability whatever shall in any manner affect or impair the security given by this Deed of Trust. All security for any part of the Debt and the performance of any obligation or liability shall be taken, considered and held as cumulative.
Section 10.3 Usury Not Intended; Savings Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, it is expressly provided that in no case or event shall the aggregate of any amounts accrued or paid pursuant to this Deed of Trust which under applicable laws are or may be deemed to constitute interest ever exceed the maximum nonusurious interest rate permitted by applicable Texas or federal laws, whichever permit the higher rate. In this connection, Mortgagor and Mortgagee stipulate and agree that it is their common and overriding intent to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws. In furtherance thereof, none of the terms of this Deed of Trust shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable laws. Mortgagor shall never be liable for interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable laws. If, for any reason whatever, such interest paid or received during the full term of the applicable indebtedness produces a rate which exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable laws, Mortgagee shall credit against the principal of such indebtedness (or, if such indebtedness shall have been paid in full, shall refund to the payor of such interest) such portion of said interest as shall be necessary to cause the interest paid to produce a rate equal to the maximum rate permitted by applicable laws. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Mortgagee for the use, forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent required to avoid or minimize usury and to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the applicable indebtedness so that the interest rate does not exceed the Ceiling Rate. The provisions of this Section shall control all agreements, whether now or hereafter existing and whether written or oral, between Mortgagor and Mortgagee.
Section 10.4 Mortgagor Waives All Stay, Extension, Appraisement and Redemption Rights. Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force in any locality where the Property or any part thereof may or shall be situated, nor will Mortgagor claim, take or insist on any benefit or advantage from any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Property or any part thereof before any sale or sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provision of this Deed of Trust, or to decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, nor after any such sale or sales made pursuant to any provision of this Deed of Trust, or to decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, nor after any such sale or sales will Mortgagor claim or exercise any right conferred by any law now or at any time hereafter in force to redeem the property so sold or any part of it, and Mortgagor hereby WAIVES all benefit and advantage of any such law or laws and WAIVES the appraisement of the Property or any part of it and covenants that Mortgagor will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power in this Deed of Trust granted and delegated to the Trustee or Mortgagee, but that Xxxxxxxxx will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.
22
Section 10.5 Subrogation to Liens Discharged. Xxxxxxxxx hereby agrees that Mortgagee shall be subrogated to all rights, titles, interests, liens, benefits, remedies, equities, superior title and security interests (the “Subrogated Liens”) owned, claimed or held as security for any debt or other obligation (the “Discharged Obligations”) directly or indirectly satisfied, discharged or paid with money or other property advanced by Mortgagee. Irrespective of any formal or informal acknowledgment of partial or complete satisfaction or release of the Discharged Obligations, the Subrogated Liens shall be continued, renewed, extended, brought forward and rearranged as security for the Debt in addition to and cumulative of the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust. Foreclosure under this Deed of Trust shall constitute foreclosure of the Subrogated Liens.
Section 10.6 Construction Mortgage. If funds are to be advanced by Mortgagee against the Note as construction progresses on the Real Property, then this is a construction mortgage, as such term is defined in the Texas Business and Commerce Code, and such funds are to be used to pay the costs of such construction, which may with the express prior written consent of Mortgagee include the acquisition costs of the Real Property.
Section 10.7 Due on Sale. Xxxxxxxxx agrees that if, without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, (a) any part of the Property or any interest either in the Property or in the beneficial equity ownership of any Mortgagor which is not a natural person (an “Equity Interest”) should be directly or indirectly transferred, conveyed or mortgaged, voluntarily or involuntarily, absolutely or as security, or (b) Mortgagor should enter into any contractual arrangement to transfer, convey or mortgage any part of the Property or any interest either in the Property or in an Equity Interest, Mortgagee shall have the right and option (except only in those circumstances, if any, where the exercise of such right is expressly prohibited by applicable law and such law also precludes Mortgagor from effectively waiving such prohibition) to declare the Note or the entire amount of the Debt to be due and payable. Mortgagee shall have such right and option absolutely and irrespective of whether or not the transfer, conveyance or mortgage would or might (i) diminish the value of any security for the Debt, (ii) increase the risk of default under this Deed of Trust, (iii) increase the likelihood of Mortgagee’s having to resort to any security for the Debt after default or (iv) add or remove the liability of any person or entity for payment of the Debt or performance of any covenant or obligation under this Deed of Trust. To exercise such right and option, Mortgagee shall give written notice to Xxxxxxxxx and to the person or entity to whom such property was transferred, conveyed or mortgaged that the Note or Debt has been declared due and payable and that Mortgagee demands that its maker pay it. If Mortgagee’s consent to a proposed transfer, conveyance or mortgaging is requested, Mortgagee shall have the right (in addition to its absolute right to refuse to consent to any such transaction) to condition its consent upon satisfaction of any one or more of the following requirements: (1) that the interest rate(s) on all or any part of the Debt be increased to a rate which is then acceptable to Mortgagee; (2) that a reasonable transfer fee, in an amount determined by Mortgagee, be paid; (3) that a principal amount deemed appropriate by Mortgagee be paid against the Debt to reduce the ratio that the outstanding balance of the Debt bears to the value of the Property as determined by Mortgagee to a level which is then acceptable to Mortgagee; (4) that Mortgagor and each proposed transferee execute an assumption agreement and such other instruments as Mortgagee or its counsel shall reasonably require and in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee and its counsel; (5) that the proposed transferee’s creditworthiness and experience in owning and operating similar properties be demonstrable and proven to Mortgagee’s reasonable satisfaction to be at least as good as Mortgagor’s and Xxxxxxxxx’s managers’ at the time the Note was first funded; (6) that the liability to Mortgagee of Mortgagor and all makers and guarantors of all or any part of the Debt will be confirmed by them in writing to be unaffected and unimpaired by such transfer, conveyance or mortgaging and (7) that any existing or proposed junior mortgagee expressly subordinate to all liens and security interests securing the Debt as to both lien and payment right priority and consent to the proposed transaction in a writing addressed to Mortgagee.
Section 10.8 Condemnation. If before final termination of this Deed of Trust, all or a portion of the Property is taken for public or quasi-public purposes, either through eminent domain or condemnation proceedings, by voluntary conveyance under threat of condemnation with Mortgagee’s express written consent and joinder or otherwise, Xxxxxxxxx hereby agrees that any and all sums of money awarded or allowed as damages, payments in lieu of condemnation awards or otherwise to or for the account of the owner of the Property or any portion of it on account of such taking shall be paid and delivered to Mortgagee, and they are hereby assigned to Mortgagee, and shall be paid directly to Mortgagee. All proceeds of condemnation awards or proceeds of sale in lieu of condemnation with respect to the Property and all judgments, decrees and awards for injury or damage to the Property (collectively, the “Proceeds”) shall be applied, first, to reimburse Mortgagee or the Trustee for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with collection of such Proceeds and, second, provided (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Fed Ex Lease is in full force and effect, without default, and (iii) the tenant under the Fed Ex Lease has agreed in writing not to terminate the Fed Ex Lease as a result of the condemnation, the remainder of said Proceeds shall be paid out to the extent required under the Fed Ex Lease to repair or restore the Property so affected by such condemnation, injury or damage in the same manner as provided in Section 4.1(h) above. If the conditions to disbursement set forth in the immediately preceding sentence are not satisfied, the Proceeds may be applied, at the discretion of Mortgagee, to the payment of the Debt in the order determined by Mortgagee in its sole discretion. Xxxxxxxxx agrees to execute such further assignments of all such proceeds, judgments, decrees and awards as Mortgagee may request. Mortgagee is hereby authorized, in the name of Xxxxxxxxx, to execute and deliver valid acquittances for, and to appeal from, any such judgment, decree or award. Mortgagee shall not be, in any event or circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect, or exercise diligence in the collection of, any such proceeds, judgments, decrees or awards.
23
Section 10.9 Appraisals and Reports to be Provided. Mortgagee (by its officers, employees, directors or agents) at any time and from time to time but not more than once during the term of the Loan unless an Event of Default exists or unless required by any Governmental Authority, and at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law), may contract for the services of an appraiser approved by Mortgagee in its sole discretion to perform a written appraisal of the Property (or such parts of it as are designated in Mortgagee’s request). Any such appraisal may be performed at any time or times upon reasonable notice to Xxxxxxxxx, as long as it does not unreasonably interfere with Xxxxxxxxx’s use of the Property. Specifically, upon at least three business days’ prior notice, any such appraiser is authorized to enter upon, and Mortgagor shall allow such appraiser access to, the Property as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of such appraiser to perform its professional services. Mortgagor will also furnish such appraiser such historical and operational information in Xxxxxxxxx’s possession regarding the Property as may be reasonably requested by such appraiser to facilitate preparation of an appraisal and will make available for meetings with such appraiser appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters. Mortgagor will permit Mortgagee and its agents, independent contractors, representatives, employees and officers at all reasonable times upon at least three business days’ prior notice to go upon, examine, inspect and remain on the Property for any lawful purpose and will furnish to Mortgagee on request all pertinent information in Mortgagor’s possession in regard to the development, operation, use and status of the Property. Promptly upon Mortgagee’s reasonable request (but not more than once during the term of the Loan unless an Event of Default exists or unless required by any Governmental Authority), Xxxxxxxxx agrees, at Xxxxxxxxx’s sole cost and expense (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law):
(a) to cause an inspection and written appraisal of the Property (or such parts of it as are designated in Mortgagee’s request) to be made by a qualified appraiser approved by Mortgagee; and
(b) to cause to be conducted or prepared any other written report, summary, opinion, inspection, review, survey, audit or other professional service relating to the Property or any operations in connection with it (all as designated in Mortgagee’s request), including any accounting, architectural, consulting, engineering, design, legal, management, pest control, surveying, toxic or hazardous materials survey, inspection, removal or cleanup work, title abstracting or other technical, managerial or professional service relating to the Property or its operations.
(c) Mortgagee may elect to deliver any such request orally, by telegram, telex or telefax, by mail or by hand delivery addressed to Xxxxxxxxx as provided in the Introduction to this Deed of Trust or by any other legally effective method, and it may be given at any time and from time to time before the complete and final release and discharge of this Deed of Trust. Any amount to be paid under this Section by Mortgagor to Mortgagee shall be a demand obligation owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure at the Past Due Rate.
Section 10.10 Notices. Except where certified or registered mail notice is required by applicable law, service of any notice to Mortgagor required or permitted under this Deed of Trust shall be completed upon deposit of the notice, enclosed in a first class postage prepaid wrapper, properly addressed to Mortgagor at Mortgagor’s address designated in the Introduction to this Deed of Trust (or if no address is so designated, or such address has changed, to Mortgagor’s most recent address as shown by the records of Mortgagee) in a post office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service, and the affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts concerning such mailing shall be conclusive evidence of the fact of such service. Such method of giving notice shall not be exclusive, but instead any notice may be given to Mortgagor in any manner permitted or recognized by law.
24
Section 10.11 Mortgagee and Mortgagor. The term “Mortgagee” as used in this Deed of Trust shall mean and include the holder or holders of the Debt from time to time, and upon acquisition of the Debt by any holder or holders other than the named Mortgagee, effective as of the time of such acquisition, the term “Mortgagee” shall mean all of the then holders of the Debt, to the exclusion of all prior holders not then retaining or reserving an interest in the Debt from time to time, whether such holder acquires the Debt through succession to or assignment from a prior Mortgagee. The term “Mortgagor, its successors and assigns” shall also include the heirs and legal representatives of each Mortgagor who is a natural person and the receivers, conservators, custodians and trustees of each Mortgagor, provided that no Mortgagor may assign or delegate any of its or his rights, interests or obligations under this Deed of Trust, the Note or any Credit Document without Mortgagee’s express prior written consent, and any attempted assignment or delegation without it shall be void or voidable at Mortgagee’s election.
Section 10.12 Article, Section and Exhibit References, Numbers and Headings. References in this Deed of Trust to Articles, Sections and Exhibits refer to Articles, Sections and Exhibits in and to this Deed of Trust unless otherwise specified.

Section 10.16 Severability. If any provision of this Deed of Trust is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Deed of Trust shall not be affected thereby, and this Deed of Trust shall be liberally construed so as to carry out the intent of the parties to it. Each waiver in this Deed of Trust is subject to the overriding and controlling rule that it shall be effective only if and to the extent that (a) it is not prohibited by applicable law and (b) applicable law neither provides for nor allows any material sanctions to be imposed against Mortgagee for having bargained for and obtained it.
Section 10.17 Any Unsecured Debt is Deemed Paid First. If any part of the Debt cannot lawfully be secured by this Deed of Trust, or if the lien, assignments and security interest of this Deed of Trust cannot be lawfully enforced to pay any part of the Debt, then and in either such event, at the option of Mortgagee, all payments on the Debt shall be deemed to have been first applied against that part of the Debt.
Section 10.18 Noun, Pronoun and Verb Numbers. When this Deed of Trust is executed by more than one person, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other legal entity, it shall be construed as though “Mortgagor” were written “Mortgagors” and as though the pronouns and verbs in their number were changed to correspond, and in such case, (a) each of Mortgagors shall be bound jointly and severally with one another to keep, observe and perform the covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities imposed by this Deed of Trust upon the “Mortgagor”, (b) a release of one or more persons, corporations or other legal entities comprising “Mortgagor” shall not in any way be deemed a release of any other person, corporation or other legal entity comprising “Mortgagor” and (c) a separate action hereunder may be brought and prosecuted against one or more of the persons, corporations or other legal entities comprising “Mortgagor” without limiting any liability of or impairing Mortgagee’s right to proceed against any other person, corporation or other legal entity comprising “Mortgagor”.

Section 10.19 Homestead Disclaimer. Mortgagor warrants and represents that at the time of execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust, no part of the Mortgaged Property forms any part of any property owned, used or claimed by Mortgagor or Xxxxxxxxx’s spouse or children either as a residence or a business homestead, or as otherwise exempt from forced sale under the laws of the State of Montana or the United States.
Section 10.20 Household Goods Not Covered. If Mortgagee is a state or national bank and if any natural person executing this Deed of Trust is a “consumer” as defined in Regulation AA of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, no lien or security interest created or evidenced by this Deed of Trust shall extend to, cover or affect “household goods” as also defined therein and no waiver of the rights of Mortgagor contained in this or any other instrument shall extend to, or be effective as to, any right the waiver of which is prohibited by Regulation AA. If Mortgagee is not a state or national bank and if any natural person executing this Deed of Trust is a “consumer” as defined in 16 C.F.R. § 444.1(d), as amended, no lien or security interest created or evidenced by this Deed of Trust shall extend to, cover or affect “household goods” as defined in 16 C.F.R. § 444.1(a), as amended and no waiver of the rights of Mortgagor contained in this or any other instrument shall extend to, or be effective as to, any right the waiver of which is prohibited by 16 C.F.R. § 444.
Section 10.21 Payments Returned. Xxxxxxxxx agrees that, if at any time all or any part of any payment previously applied by Mortgagee to the Debt is or must be returned by Mortgagee--or recovered from Mortgagee--for any reason (including the order of any bankruptcy court), this Deed of Trust shall automatically be reinstated to the same effect as if the prior application had not been made, and, in addition, Xxxxxxxxx hereby agrees to indemnify Mortgagee against, and to save and hold Mortgagee harmless from any required return by Mortgagee--or recovery from Mortgagee--of any such payment because of its being deemed preferential under applicable bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency laws, or for any other reason.
Section 10.22 Amendments in Writing. This Deed of Trust shall not be changed orally but shall be changed only by agreement in writing signed by Xxxxxxxxx and Mortgagee. Any waiver or consent with respect to this Deed of Trust shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No course of dealing between the parties, no usage of trade and no parole or extrinsic evidence of any nature shall be used to supplement or modify any of the terms or provisions of this Deed of Trust.
Section 10.23 Mortgagee’s Offset Rights. Mortgagee is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to any person or entity (and Mortgagor hereby WAIVES any such notice) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all monies, securities and other properties of Mortgagor now or in the future in the possession, custody or control of Mortgagee, or on deposit with or otherwise owed to Mortgagor by Mortgagee--including all such monies, securities and other properties held in general, special, time, demand, provisional or final accounts or for safekeeping or as collateral or otherwise (but excluding those accounts clearly designated as escrow or trust accounts held by Xxxxxxxxx for others unaffiliated with Mortgagor)--against any and all of Mortgagor’s obligations to Mortgagee now or hereafter existing under this Deed of Trust, irrespective of whether Mortgagee shall have made any demand under this Deed of Trust. Mortgagee agrees to use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Mortgagor after any such set-off and application, provided that failure to give--or delay in giving--any such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application or impose any liability on Mortgagee. Mortgagee’s rights under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which Mortgagee may have.
Section 10.24 Venue. This Deed of Trust is performable in Xxxxxx County, Texas, which shall be a proper place of venue for suit on or in respect of this Deed of Trust. Xxxxxxxxx irrevocably agrees that any legal proceeding in respect of this Deed of Trust shall be brought in the district courts of Xxxxxx County, Texas or the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, or, at the sole option of Beneficiary, in any state or federal court located in Silver Bow County, Montana (collectively, the “Specified Courts”). Xxxxxxxxx hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Texas, or at the sole option of Beneficiary, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Montana. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Credit Document brought in any Specified Court, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claims that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Xxxxxxxxx further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the Specified Courts in any such suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier to Mortgagor at its address as provided in this Deed of Trust. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Mortgagee to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against Mortgagor in any jurisdiction or to serve process in any manner permitted by applicable law. Xxxxxxxxx agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. THIS DEED OF TRUST SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT (a) OF PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE MATTERS RELATING ONLY TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION AND FORECLOSURE OF LIENS, AND ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AGAINST THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY, WHICH MATTERS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MONTANA, AND (b) THAT THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ANY RULES, REGULATIONS, OR ORDERS ISSUED OR PROMULGATED THEREUNDER, APPLICABLE TO THE AFFAIRS AND TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO BY MORTGAGEE, OTHERWISE PRE-EMPT MONTANA OR TEXAS LAW, IN WHICH EVENT SUCH FEDERAL LAW SHALL CONTROL.
