Section 1.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Security Instrument is both a real property deed of trust and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Trustor in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security Instrument, Trustor hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as security for the Obligations, a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and other property constituting the Property to the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and such other property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the “Collateral”). If an Event of Default occurs, Administrative Agent, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, will have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Administrative Agent may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Administrative Agent after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, Trustor will, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Administrative Agent at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) acceptable to Administrative Agent. Trustor will pay to Administrative Agent on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Administrative Agent in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral sent to Trustor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least 10 Business Days prior to such action, will, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Trustor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Administrative Agent to the payment of the Obligations in such priority and proportions as Administrative Agent in its discretion deems proper. The principal place of business of Trustor (Debtor) is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Administrative Agent (Secured Party) is as set forth on page one hereof.
Section 1.4 FIXTURE FILING. Certain of the Property is or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land, described or referred to in this Security Instrument, and this Security Instrument, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the county wherein such fixtures are situated, will operate also as a financing statement naming Trustor as Debtor and Administrative Agent as Secured Party filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become fixtures.
6
Section 1.5 PLEDGES OF MONIES HELD. Trustor hereby pledges to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, any and all monies now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent or on behalf of Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan, including the Net Proceeds and any sums deposited in the Required Accounts, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument or the Loan Agreement.
CONDITIONS TO GRANT
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property unto and to the use and benefit of Trustee and its successors and assigns, IN TRUST WITH POWER OF SALE to secure payment and performance of the Obligations, forever;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, this grant is made upon the express condition that, if Borrowers pay to Administrative Agent the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in the Loan Documents, and perform the Obligations in the time and manner set forth in the Loan Documents and comply with each and every covenant and condition set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the estate hereby granted will cease, terminate and be void; provided, however, that Trustor’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the provisions hereof will survive any such payment or release.

Section 2.1 DEBT. This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments and transfers made in Article 1 are given for the purpose of securing the Debt which includes, but is not limited to, the obligations of Borrowers to pay the principal and interest owing pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Notes and the Loan Agreement.

In the event Trustor fails to obtain, maintain, keep in force or deliver to Administrative Agent the policies of insurance required by the Loan Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, Administrative Agent may (but has no obligation to) procure (upon no less than five (5) Business Days’ notice to Trustor) such insurance or single-interest insurance for such risks covering Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests, and Trustor will pay all premiums thereon promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, and until such payment is made by Trustor, the amount advanced by Administrative Agent with respect to all such premiums will, at Administrative Agent’s option, bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 3.4 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Trustor will cause the Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair and otherwise in accordance with the Loan Agreement. The Improvements, the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property will not be removed, demolished or altered without the consent of Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders other than in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. Trustor will promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be destroyed by any casualty or become damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be affected by any condemnation, and will complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land.
Section 3.5 WASTE. Trustor will not commit or knowingly suffer any waste of the Property or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that might invalidate or allow the cancellation of any insurance policy which Trustor is obligated to maintain pursuant to the Loan Agreement, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way materially impair the value of the Property or the security of this Security Instrument. Trustor will not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Land, except as permitted
8
by the Permitted Encumbrances, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.
Section 3.6 PAYMENT FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS.
(a) Subject to the terms of Section 3.6(b) below, Trustor will promptly pay when due all bills and costs for labor and materials (“Labor and Material Costs”) incurred in connection with the Property and not permit to exist beyond the due date thereof in respect of the Property or any part thereof any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the liens and the security interests hereof, and in any event not permit to be created or exist in respect of the Property or any part thereof any other or additional Lien or Security Interest other than the liens or security interests hereof except for the Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) After prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Trustor, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any of the Labor and Material Costs, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) such proceeding is permitted and conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Trustor or the Property is subject and will not constitute a default thereunder, (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, and (iv) Trustor has furnished such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to insure the payment of any contested Labor and Material Costs, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Administrative Agent may pay over (upon no less than five (5) Business Days’ written notice to Trustor) any such security or part thereof held by Administrative Agent to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or part thereof or interest therein) is in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there is any danger of any Lien related to the contested Labor and Material Costs becoming senior in priority, in whole or in part, to the Lien of the Security Instrument. If Administrative Agent shall make any such payment, Trustor shall provide (at Trustor’s sole cost and expense) such endorsements to Administrative Agent’s title insurance policy or such other evidence as Administrative Agent may require to confirm no loss of priority of the Security Instrument.
Section 3.7 PAYMENT OF TAXES AND IMPOSITIONS.
(a) Trustor will pay, or cause to be paid prior to delinquency, all real property taxes and assessments, general and special, and all other taxes, assessments, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, of any kind or nature whatsoever, including nongovernmental levies or assessments such as maintenance charges, levies or charges resulting from covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Property, which are assessed or imposed upon the Property, or become due and payable, and which create or may create a lien upon the Property (all the foregoing, collectively, “Impositions”).
(b) After prior notice to Administrative Agent, Trustor, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Impositions,
9
provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) such proceeding is permitted and conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Trustor or the Property is subject and will not constitute a default thereunder, (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, (iv) Trustor will promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Impositions, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith, and (v) Trustor has furnished such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to insure the payment of any contested Impositions, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Administrative Agent may pay over (upon no less than five (5) Business Days’ written notice to Trustor) any such security or part thereof held by Administrative Agent to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or part thereof or interest therein) is in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there is any danger of any Lien related to the contested Impositions becoming senior in priority, in whole or in part, to the Lien of the Security Instrument. If Administrative Agent shall make any such payment, Trustor shall provide (at Trustor’s sole cost and expense) such endorsements to Administrative Agent’s title insurance policy or such other evidence as Administrative Agent may reasonably require to confirm no loss of priority of the Security Instrument.
Section 3.8 CHANGE OF NAME, JURISDICTION. In addition to the restrictions contained in the Loan Agreement, Trustor will not change Trustor’s name, identity (including its trade name or names) or jurisdiction of formation or organization unless Trustor has first obtained the prior written consent of Administrative Agent to such change (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and has taken all actions reasonably necessary or reasonably required by Administrative Agent to file or amend any financing statements or continuation statements to assure perfection and continuation of perfection of security interests under the Loan Documents. Trustor will notify Administrative Agent in writing of any change in its organizational identification number at least 10 Business Days in advance of such change becoming effective. If Trustor does not now have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, Trustor will promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing of such organizational identification number. At the request of Administrative Agent, Trustor will execute a certificate in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent listing the trade names under which Trustor intends to operate the Property, and representing and warranting that Trustor does, and has previously never done, business under no other trade name with respect to the Property.
Section 3.9 UTILITIES. Trustor will pay or cause to be paid prior to delinquency all utility charges that are incurred by Trustor for the benefit of the Property or that may become a charge or lien against the Property for gas, electricity, water or sewer services furnished to the Property and all other assessments or charges of a similar nature, whether public or private, affecting or related to the Property or any portion thereof, whether or not such assessments or charges are or may become liens thereon.
Section 3.10 CASUALTY After obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of any damage, destruction or other casualty to the Property or any part thereof, whether or not covered by insurance, Trustor must immediately notify Administrative Agent in writing. In the event of
10
such casualty, all proceeds of insurance (collectively, the “Insurance Proceeds”) must be payable to Administrative Agent and no other party, and Trustor hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance company to make payment of such Insurance Proceeds directly to Administrative Agent and no other party. If Trustor receives any Insurance Proceeds, Trustor must pay over such Insurance Proceeds to Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and empowered by Trustor to settle, adjust or compromise any and all claims for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance. Notwithstanding the above, provided that (i) such proceeds do not exceed $500,000 for any Property (as defined in the Loan Agreement), (ii) no Event of Default exists, and (iii) the casualty does not materially impair the value of the Project, Trustor may retain such proceeds (which shall be applied to the restoration of the Improvements to the extent required to repair a casualty). In the event of a foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Trustor in and to any Insurance Proceeds will vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or in Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title. Nothing herein will be deemed to excuse Trustor from repairing or maintaining the Property as provided in this Security Instrument or restoring all damage or destruction to the Property, regardless of the availability or sufficiency of Insurance Proceeds, and the application or release by Administrative Agent of any Insurance Proceeds will not cure or waive any Default, Event of Default or notice of Default or Event of Default or invalidate any action taken by or on behalf of Administrative Agent pursuant to any such notice.
Section 3.11 CONDEMNATION If any proceeding or action is commenced for the taking of the Property, or any part thereof or interest therein, for public or quasi-public use under the power of eminent domain, condemnation or otherwise, or if the same is taken or damaged by reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in any other manner, or should Trustor receive any notice or other information regarding such proceeding, action, taking or damage, Trustor must immediately notify Administrative Agent in writing. Administrative Agent may commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any such action or proceeding. Administrative Agent may also make (during the existence of an Event of Default) any compromise or settlement in connection with such taking or damage. Administrative Agent will not be liable to Trustor for any failure by Administrative Agent to collect or to exercise diligence in collecting any such compensation for a taking. All compensation, awards, damages, rights of action and proceeds awarded to Trustor by reason of any such taking or damage to the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein for public or quasi-public use under the power of eminent domain, by reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in any other manner (the “Condemnation Proceeds”) are hereby assigned to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Trustor agrees to execute such further assignments of the Condemnation Proceeds as Administrative Agent may require. Nothing herein will be deemed to excuse Trustor from repairing, maintaining or restoring the Property as provided in this Security Instrument, regardless of the availability or sufficiency of any Condemnation Proceeds, and the application or release by Administrative Agent of any Condemnation Proceeds will not cure or waive any Default, Event of Default or notice of Default or Event of Default or invalidate any action taken by or on behalf of Administrative Agent pursuant to any such notice. In the event of a foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, all right,
11
title and interest of Trustor in and to the Condemnation Proceeds will vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or in Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
Section 3.12 AVAILABILITY OF NET PROCEEDS.
(a) In the event of any damage or destruction of the Property, Administrative Agent shall apply all Insurance Proceeds remaining after deductions of all expenses of collection and settlement thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and adjustors’ fees and expenses, to the restoration of the Improvements but only as repairs or replacements are effected and continuing expenses become due and payable; provided that the following conditions are met: (a) no Event of Default exists that has not been cured; (b) the Loan is in balance (taking into account all costs of reconstruction and the amount of the Insurance Proceeds, if any, the amount of operating expenses and interest that will accrue under the Notes, and any additional funds deposited by Trustor with Administrative Agent (“Deficiency Deposit”) to pay for such costs of reconstruction); (c) Administrative Agent has determined, in its sole discretion, that the damage or destruction can be repaired and that the damaged portion of the Improvements can be completed according to the requirements of the Loan Agreement; (d) Administrative Agent and all applicable governmental authorities have approved the final plans and specifications for reconstruction of the damaged portion of the Improvements; (e) Administrative Agent has approved, for the reconstruction of the damaged portion of the Improvements, in its sole discretion, the budget, the construction schedule and the construction contract; and (f) Administrative Agent has determined, in its sole discretion, that after the reconstruction work is completed, the Borrowing Base Amount as a percentage of the Borrowing Base Value of the Projects shall not exceed the Maximum Borrowing Base Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement), provided Trustor may pay down the Loan so that the foregoing requirement in this clause (f) is satisfied. If any one or more of such conditions set forth herein have not been met, Administrative Agent will not be obligated to make any further disbursements pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and Administrative Agent shall apply all Insurance Proceeds, after deductions as herein provided, to the repayment of the outstanding balance of the Notes, (without payment of a prepayment premium other than LIBOR Breakage Costs) together with all accrued interest thereon, in such order as Administrative Agent may elect, notwithstanding that the outstanding balance may not be due and payable.
(b) In the event of any taking or condemnation of the Property or any part thereof or interest therein, all Condemnation Proceeds will be paid to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders. After deducting therefrom all costs and expenses (regardless of the particular nature thereof and whether incurred with or without suit), including attorneys’ fees, incurred by it in connection with any such action or proceeding, Administrative Agent shall apply all such Condemnation Proceeds to the restoration of the Improvements (other than Condemnation Proceeds attributable to temporary use or occupancy which may be applied, at Administrative Agent’s option, to installments of principal and interest and other charges due under the Notes and other Loan Documents when the same become due and payable, without payment of a prepayment premium other than LIBOR Breakage Costs) provided that:
(i) the taking or damage will not, in Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, materially impair the security for the Loan; and
12
(ii) all conditions set forth in Section 3.12(a) above with respect to the disbursement of Insurance Proceeds are met.
If all of the above conditions are met, Administrative Agent shall disburse the Condemnation Proceeds in accordance with the Loan Agreement and only as repairs or replacements are effected and continuing expenses become due and payable. If any one or more of the above conditions are not met, Administrative Agent shall apply all of the Condemnation Proceeds, after deductions as herein provided, to the repayment of the outstanding balance of the Notes (without payment of prepayment premiums other than LIBOR Breakage Costs), together with all accrued interest thereon, in such order as Administrative Agent may elect, notwithstanding that said outstanding balance may not be due and payable, and Administrative Agent will have no further obligation to make disbursements pursuant to the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If the Condemnation Proceeds are not sufficient to repay the portion of the Loan allocable to the Property covered by this Security Instrument and Administrative Agent or Lenders have determined that its security for the Loan is materially impaired, Trustor shall immediately pay any such remaining balance allocable to the Property, together with all accrued interest thereon. Notwithstanding the above, provided the Condemnation Proceeds do not exceed $125,000, no Event of Default exists, and the taking has not materially impaired the value of the Property, Trustor may retain such Condemnation Proceeds.
(c) The term “Net Proceeds” means (i) the net amount of the Insurance Proceeds received by Administrative Agent after deduction of Administrative Agent’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), if any, in collecting the same; or (ii) the net amount of the Condemnation Proceeds received by Administrative Agent after deduction of Administrative Agent’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), if any, in collecting the same, whichever the case may be; and (iii) any additional deposit the Administrative Agent requires the Trustor to make to the Administrative Agent in connection with such casualty or condemnation proceeding.
Article 4 - OBLIGATIONS AND RELIANCES
Section 4.1 RELATIONSHIP OF TRUSTOR AND LENDERS. The relationship between Trustor and Administrative Agent and the Lenders is solely that of debtor and creditor, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary or other special relationship with Trustor, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument, any of the other Loan Documents, the Indemnity or the Guaranties will be construed so as to deem the relationship between Trustor and Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be other than that of debtor and creditor.
Section 4.2 NO RELIANCE ON LENDERS. The general partners, members, principals and (if Trustor is a trust) beneficial owners of Trustor are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Property, and Trustor and Administrative Agent and Lenders are relying solely upon such expertise and business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property.

Trustor also ratifies its authorization for Administrative Agent or Trustee to have filed or recorded any like initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements, if filed or recorded prior to the date of this Security Instrument. Trustor grants to Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent at law and in equity during the existence of an Event of Default, including such rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Trustor hereby ratifies all acts Administrative Agent has lawfully done in the past or will lawfully do or cause to be done in the future by virtue of such power of attorney.
Section 5.3 CHANGES IN TAX, DEBT, CREDIT AND DOCUMENTARY STAMP LAWS.
(a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Administrative Agent’s interest in the Property, Trustor will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement.
(b) Trustor will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction will otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security Instrument or the Debt.

Article 6 - DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE
Section 6.1 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT RELIANCE. Trustor acknowledges that Administrative Agent and the Lenders have examined and relied on the experience of Trustor and its general partners, members, principals and (if Trustor is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Trustor’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment and performance of the Obligations. Trustor acknowledges that Administrative Agent and the Lenders have a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrowers default in the repayment of the Obligations or the performance of the Obligations, Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders can recover the Obligations by a sale of the Property.
Section 6.2 NO TRANSFER. Trustor will comply in all respects with the provisions of the Loan Agreement regarding (a) selling, transferring, leasing, conveying or encumbering the Land, the Equipment or the Improvements or the direct or indirect interests in Trustor, and (b) changing control of Trustor.
Article 7 - RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
Section 7.1 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default, unless such Event of Default is subsequently waived in writing by the Required Lenders or Administrative Agent, as applicable (provided that the Required Lenders and Administrative Agent have no obligation whatsoever to grant any such waiver and any such waiver, if granted, will be considered a one-time waiver), Administrative Agent may, acting through Trustee as applicable, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies, consecutively or simultaneously, and in any order:
(a) intentionally omitted;
(b) institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this Security Instrument under any applicable provision of law, in which case the Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner;
(c) with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument for the portion of the Obligations then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien and security interest of this Security Instrument for the balance of the Obligations not then due, unimpaired and without loss of priority;
(d) sell for cash or upon credit the Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Trustor therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law;
16
(e) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein, in the Loan Agreement or in the other Loan Documents;
(f) recover judgment on the Obligations either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents;
(g) obtain the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard for the solvency of Trustor, any guarantor or any indemnitor with respect to the Loan or of any other Person liable for the payment of the Obligations. Trustor waives any right to any hearing or notice of hearing prior to the appointment of a receiver. Such receiver and his agents will be empowered to (i) take possession of the Property and perform all necessary or desirable acts with respect to management and operation of the Property, (ii) exclude Trustor and Trustor’s agents, servants, and employees from the Property, (iii) collect the rents, issues, profits, and income therefrom, (iv) complete any construction which may be in progress, (v) do such maintenance and make such repairs and alterations as the receiver deems necessary, (vi) use all stores of materials, supplies, and maintenance equipment on the Property and replace such items at the expense of the receivership estate, (vii) pay all taxes and assessments against the Property, all premiums for insurance thereon, all utility and other operating expenses, and all sums due under any prior or subsequent encumbrance, (viii) generally do anything which Trustor could legally do if Trustor were in possession of the Property, and (ix) take any other action permitted by law. All expenses incurred by the receiver or his agents will constitute a part of the Obligations. Any revenues collected by the receiver will be applied first to the expenses of the receivership, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the receiver and by Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred until repaid, and the balance will be applied toward the Obligations or in such other manner as the court may direct. Unless sooner terminated with the express consent of Administrative Agent, any such receivership will continue until the Obligations have been discharged in full, or until title to the Property has passed after a receivership sale or a foreclosure sale and all applicable periods of redemption have expired;
(h) The license granted to Trustor under Section 1.2 hereof will automatically be revoked and Administrative Agent may enter into or upon the Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Trustor and its agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Trustor and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and Trustor agrees to surrender possession of the Property and of such books, records and accounts to Administrative Agent upon demand, and thereupon Administrative Agent may (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Administrative Agent deems advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Trustor with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Trustor or otherwise, including the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, xxx for, collect and receive all Rents of the Property and every part thereof; (v) require Trustor to pay monthly in advance to Administrative Agent, or any receiver
17
appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be occupied by Trustor; (vi) require Trustor to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Administrative Agent or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Trustor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of the Obligations, in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Insurance Premiums and other expenses in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Administrative Agent, its in-house and outside counsel, agents and employees;
(i) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property, or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Administrative Agent may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (ii) require Trustor at its expense to assemble the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property and make it available to Administrative Agent at a convenient place acceptable to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Administrative Agent with respect to the Fixtures, the Equipment and/or the Personal Property sent to Trustor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least 10 Business Days prior to such action, will constitute commercially reasonable notice to Trustor;
(j) apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or otherwise by or on behalf of Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document to the payment of the following items in any order as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders:
(i) Taxes;
(ii) Insurance Premiums;
(iii) Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Notes;
(iv) The unpaid principal balance of the Notes; and
(v) All other sums payable pursuant to the Notes, the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, including advances made by Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument;
(k) pursue such other remedies as Administrative Agent may have under the other Loan Documents, the Indemnity or the Guaranties and/or applicable law; or
(l) apply the undisbursed balance of any Net Proceeds, together with interest thereon, to the payment of the Obligations in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders will deem to be appropriate in their discretion.
In addition to the foregoing, Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may exercise any and all additional rights and remedies specified in the Loan Agreement, including that the Required Lenders may declare that the Commitments are terminated and/or declaring that the entire unpaid principal balance of the Obligations are immediately due and payment, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
18
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less than all of Property, this Security Instrument will continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority.
Section 7.2 Application of Proceeds. The purchase money, proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Property, and or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Administrative Agent pursuant to the Notes, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, may be applied by Administrative Agent to the payment of the Obligations in such priority and proportions as Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders in their discretion will deem proper, to the extent consistent with applicable Laws.
Section 7.3 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Trustor will give Administrative Agent prompt written notice of the assertion of any claim with respect to, or the filing of any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, the security hereof or the rights or powers of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Trustor, which Administrative Agent, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property.
Section 7.4 RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Administrative Agent will have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Obligations as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Obligations is due, and without prejudice to the right of Administrative Agent or Trustee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Trustor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced. In the event Trustor is curing a default or is paying off the Loan and Administrative Agent has incurred fees which Trustor is obligated to pay to Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, and such amount has not been reduced to a final amount at the time Trustor is curing the default or is paying off the Loan, Administrative Agent may require Trustor to pay a reasonable estimate of such fees with the payment curing the default or with the payoff of the Loan, and any amount paid in excess of the estimate by the Trustor will be refunded to the Trustor after the final amount of such fee is determined.
Section 7.5 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC.
(a) The failure of Administrative Agent or the Lenders to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof will not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Trustor will not be relieved of Trustor’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Administrative Agent or Trustee to comply with any request of Trustor or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes, the other Loan
19
Documents, the Indemnity or the Guaranties, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any Person liable for the Obligations or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Administrative Agent or the Lenders extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Notes, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, the Indemnity or the Guaranties.
(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Trustor, and none of Trustee, Administrative Agent nor any Lender will have any liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain any insurance policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount or nature of risks insured. Possession by Administrative Agent will not be deemed an election of judicial relief if any such possession is requested or obtained with respect to all or any portion of the Property or collateral not in Administrative Agent’s possession.
(c) Administrative Agent or Trustee may take action to recover the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Administrative Agent or Trustee thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Administrative Agent and Trustee under this Security Instrument will be separate, distinct and cumulative and none will be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Administrative Agent or Trustee will be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Neither Administrative Agent nor Trustee will be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but will be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
Section 7.6 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. Administrative Agent may release, or cause Trustee to release, any portion of the Property for such consideration as Administrative Agent may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder are reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Administrative Agent for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Administrative Agent may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument will continue as a lien on, and security interest in, the remaining portion of the Property.
Section 7.7 INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
Section 7.8 RIGHT OF ENTRY. Upon reasonable notice to Trustor (and subject to the rights of tenants under their leases), Administrative Agent and its agents will have the right to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times.
Section 7.9 BANKRUPTCY.
(a) After the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent will have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Trustor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Lease, including the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Trustor, any proofs of claim, complaints,
20
motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.
(b) If there is filed by or against Trustor a petition under the Bankruptcy Code and Trustor, as lessor under any Lease, determines to reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Trustor will give Administrative Agent not less than 10 days’ prior notice of the date on which Trustor will apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Lease (or such lesser notice as may be reasonably practicable under the circumstances). Administrative Agent will have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Trustor within such 10 day period a notice stating that (i) Administrative Agent demands that Trustor assume and assign the Lease to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Administrative Agent covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. If Administrative Agent serves upon Trustor the notice described in the preceding sentence, Trustor will not seek to reject the Lease and will comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within 30 days after the notice is given, subject to the performance by Administrative Agent of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
Section 7.10 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
Section 7.11 ACCEPTANCE OF PAYMENTS. Trustor agrees that if Trustor makes a tender of a payment but does not simultaneously tender payment of any late charge, Default Rate interest, LIBOR Breakage Costs, Swap Obligations of Borrower or other amount then due and owing by Trustor under this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, and such payment is accepted by Administrative Agent or any Lender, with or without protest, such acceptance will not constitute any waiver of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s rights to receive such amounts. Furthermore, if Administrative Agent accepts any payment from Trustor or any Guarantor after a Default or Event of Default, such acceptance will not constitute a waiver or satisfaction of any such Default or Event of Default.
Article 8 - ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Section 8.1 ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANTS. Trustor has provided representations, warranties and covenants regarding environmental matters set forth in the Indemnity and Trustor will comply with the aforesaid covenants regarding environmental matters.

Article 9 - INDEMNIFICATION
The provisions of Section 2.10(b), Section 6.24 [Fees and Expenses] and Section 10.1 [General Indemnities] of the Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.

All rights, powers and remedies provided in this Security Instrument may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Security Instrument invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of this Security Instrument or any application thereof will be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Security Instrument and any other application of the term will not be affected thereby.
Article 13 - DEFINITIONS
All capitalized terms not defined herein will have the respective meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement. If a capitalized term is defined herein and the same capitalized term is defined in the Loan Agreement, then the capitalized term that is defined herein will be utilized for the purposes of this Security Instrument, provided that the foregoing does not impact provisions that are incorporated herein by reference. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Security Instrument may be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Trustor” will mean “each Trustor and any subsequent owner or owners of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein, without limitation or waiver of any restrictions on transfers of any interest therein as set forth in any Loan Document,” the word “Administrative Agent” will mean “Administrative Agent and any subsequent administrative agent for the Lenders with respect to the Loan”, the word “Trustee” will mean “Trustee and any substitute Trustee of the estates, properties, powers, trusts and rights conferred upon Trustee pursuant to this Security Instrument”, the word “Property” will include any portion of the Property and any interest therein, and the phrases “attorneys’ fees”, “legal fees” and “counsel fees” will include any and all in-house and outside attorneys’, paralegals’ and law clerks’ reasonable fees and disbursements, including fees and disbursements at the pre-trial, trial and appellate levels incurred or paid by Administrative Agent and/or any Lender in protecting its interest in the Property, the Leases and the Rents and enforcing its rights hereunder.
Article 14 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 14.1 NO ORAL CHANGE. This Security Instrument, and any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Trustor, Administrative Agent or Trustee, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.
Section 14.2 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Security Instrument will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Trustor, Trustee, Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns forever.
24
Section 14.3 INAPPLICABLE PROVISIONS. If any term, covenant or condition of the Loan Agreement, the Notes or this Security Instrument is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the Loan Agreement, the Notes and this Security Instrument will be construed without such provision.
Section 14.4 HEADINGS, ETC. The headings and captions of various Sections of this Security Instrument are for convenience of reference only and are not to be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.
Section 14.5 SUBROGATION. If any or all of the proceeds of the Loan have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness heretofore existing against the Property, then, to the extent of the funds so used, Administrative Agent will be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests existing against the Property heretofore held by, or in favor of, the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests, if any, are not waived but rather are continued in full force and effect in favor of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and are merged with the lien and security interest created herein as cumulative security for the repayment of the Obligations, the performance and discharge of Trustor’s obligations hereunder, under the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents and the performance and discharge of the Other Obligations.
Section 14.6 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Notes, the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement among Trustor, the Lenders and Administrative Agent with respect to the transactions arising in connection with the Obligations and supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements among Trustor, the Lenders and Administrative Agent with respect thereto. Trustor hereby acknowledges that, except as incorporated in writing in the Notes, the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, there are not, and were not, and no Persons are or were authorized by Administrative Agent or the Lenders to make, any representations, understandings, stipulations, agreements or promises, oral or written, with respect to the transaction which is the subject of the Notes, the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
Section 14.7 LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RESPONSIBILITY. No provision of this Security Instrument will operate to place any obligation or liability for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Trustee, Administrative Agent or any Lender, nor will it operate to make Trustee, Administrative Agent or any Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants or any other Person, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger.

25

Whenever, pursuant to this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory or acceptable to Administrative Agent, or Administrative Agent exercises any right to grant or withhold consent, or Administrative Agent exercises its discretion in making any decision, the decision of Administrative Agent will, except as is otherwise specifically herein provided, be in the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent and will be final and conclusive.
Section 14.10 NO MERGER. So long as the Obligations owed to the Lenders secured hereby remain unpaid and undischarged and unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents in writing, the fee, leasehold, subleasehold and sub-subleasehold estates in and to the Property will not merge but will always remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of estates (without implying Trustor’s consent to such union) either in Trustor, Administrative Agent, any tenant or any third party by purchase or otherwise. In the event this Security Instrument is originally placed on a leasehold estate and Trustor later obtains fee title to the Property, such fee title will be subject and subordinate to this Security Instrument.

Section 14.12 LIMITED RECOURSE PROVISION.

For purposes of clarification, in no event shall the above language limit, reduce or otherwise affect any Borrowers’ liability or obligations under the Loan Documents, Guarantor’s liability or obligations under the Guaranties or Administrative Agent’s right to exercise any rights or remedies against any collateral securing the Loan.
Article 15 - DEED OF TRUST PROVISIONS
Section 15.1 CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE. Trustee will be under no duty to take any action hereunder except as expressly required hereunder or by law, or to perform any act which would involve Trustee in any expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, unless properly indemnified to Trustee’s reasonable satisfaction (provided, however, that Trustee shall not be indemnified pursuant to this Section 15.1 for its gross negligence or willful misconduct). Trustee, by acceptance of this Security Instrument, covenants to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable, however, only for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services rendered by Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof. Trustee may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days’ notice to Trustor and to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and select a successor trustee. In the event of the death, removal, resignation, refusal to act, or inability to act of Trustee, or in its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever, Administrative Agent may,
26
without notice and without specifying any reason therefor and without applying to any court, select and appoint a successor trustee, by an instrument recorded wherever this Security Instrument is recorded, and all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, will thereupon become vested in such successor. Such substitute trustee will not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of the duties of Trustee hereunder unless required by Administrative Agent. The procedure provided for in this Section 15.1 for substitution of Trustee will be in addition to and not in exclusion of any other provisions for substitution, by law or otherwise.
Section 15.2 Trustee’s Fees. Trustor will pay all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by Trustee and Trustee’s agents and counsel in connection with the performance by Trustee of Trustee’s duties hereunder, and all such costs, fees and expenses will be secured by this Security Instrument.
Section 15.3 Certain Rights. With the approval of, and upon instruction by, Administrative Agent, Trustee will have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to select, employ, and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Administrative Agent) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution, and interpretation of this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, and will be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder whether directly or through Trustee’s agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about the execution of Trustee’s duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee, and Trustee will not be answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (iv) any and all other lawful action as Administrative Agent may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder. Trustee will not be personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Property for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Property, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Trustee will have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting an action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. Trustee will be entitled to reimbursement for actual expenses incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee’s duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of Trustee’s services hereunder as will be rendered.
Section 15.4 Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee will, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by applicable law) and Trustee will be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder.
Section 15.5 Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any nature be reasonably required from Trustor by any Trustee or substitute trustee to more
27
fully and certainly vest in and confirm to the Trustee or substitute trustee such estates, rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by the Trustee or substitute trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments will be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and will be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Trustor.
Section 15.6 Succession Instruments. Any substitute trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof will, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trust of its or his/her predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Administrative Agent or of the substitute trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act will execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute trustee so appointed in the Trustee’s place.
Article 16 - STATE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Section 16.1 PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Article 16 and the other terms and conditions of this Security Instrument, the terms and conditions of this Article 16 will control and be binding.
Section 16.2 Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may require Trustee to advertise the sale of the Property or any part of the Property at least three (3) different times, giving notice of the time, place and date of sale, which will be not less than twenty (20) days after the publication of the first notice, in some newspaper published in the county in which the sale will be made (the “County”), and to sell all or part of the Property, at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash (or for credit against the Obligations if Administrative Agent is the highest bidder) or upon such other terms that are satisfactory to Trustee and Administrative Agent, free from the equity of redemption and any statutory or common law right of redemption, including, without limitation, those rights of redemption contained in T.C.A. § 66-8-101 et seq., homestead, dower, elective or distributive share, rights of appraisement or valuation and all other rights and exemptions of every kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, at the door of the County courthouse at which foreclosure sales are customarily held or such other place as authorized by applicable law, or at the election of Administrative Agent, at the Land, between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. on the day fixed in the notices. The foreclosure sale may be adjourned from time to time by Trustee or Trustee’s agent at the place of sale on the date and at the time the sale is originally set, or on the date and at the time of any adjournment thereof, and may be reset at a later date or dates, by announcement without any additional publication. Trustee may delegate, in Trustee’s sole discretion, any authority possessed under this Security Instrument, including the authority to conduct a foreclosure sale. Without limiting the foregoing, Trustee may retain a professional auctioneer to preside over the bidding, and the customary charge for the auctioneer’s services will be paid from sale proceeds as an expense of sale. Trustee may sell all or any portion of the Property, together or in lots or parcels, and may execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers of such property good and sufficient deeds and other instruments of conveyance of such property. In no event will Trustee be required to exhibit, present or display at any such sale any of the personalty described herein to be sold at such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
28
real property and personalty described herein may, at Administrative Agent’s sole option, be sold together or separately, in whole or in part, in bulk or individually, or in any combination thereof. Payment of the purchase price to Trustee will satisfy the obligation of the purchaser at such sale therefor, and such purchaser will not be responsible for the application thereof. The sale or sales by Trustee of less than the whole of the Property will not exhaust the power of sale herein granted, and Trustee is specifically empowered to make a successive sale or sales under such power until the whole of the Property is sold or the secured indebtedness is fully satisfied. Furthermore, if the proceeds of such sale or sales of less than the whole of the Property is less than the aggregate of the Obligations and the expenses thereof, this Security Instrument and the lien, security interest and assignment hereof will remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Property just as though no sale or sales had been made. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent will have the option to proceed with satisfaction of such Event of Default either through judicial proceedings or by directing Trustee to proceed to foreclose pursuant to the power of sale, conducting the sale as herein provided. At or following any such sale, Trustee will deliver to the purchaser a trustee’s deed or other instrument of conveyance conveying the property so sold without any covenant or warranty expressed or implied. Trustor hereby ratifies and confirms every act that Trustee may lawfully do with respect to the Property by virtue of this Security Instrument. Administrative Agent or any designee of Administrative Agent may bid and purchase all or any part of the Property at any Trustee’s or foreclosure sale under this Security Interest, and the amount of the successful bid of Administrative Agent or its designee, as applicable, may be credited on the Obligations. In the event Administrative Agent or any designee of Administrative Agent purchases all or any part of the Property at any such sale, then to the extent the successful bid price of Administrative Agent or its designee, as applicable, exceeds the Obligations, Administrative Agent or its designee, as applicable, will pay Trustee cash equal to such excess, to be applied as set forth herein. In addition, Administrative Agent may pursue such other remedies as Administrative Agent may have under applicable law.
Section 16.3 ASSESSMENTS AGAINST PROPERTY. Trustor will not, without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent, which may be withheld for any reason, consent to or allow the creation of any so-called special districts, special improvement districts, benefit assessment districts or similar districts, or any other body or entity of any type, or allow to occur any other event, that would or might result in the imposition of any additional taxes, assessments or other monetary obligations or burdens on the Property, and this provision serves as RECORD NOTICE to any such district or districts or any governmental entity under whose authority such district or districts exist or are being formed that, should Trustor or any other person or entity include all or any portion of the Property in such district or districts, whether formed or in the process of formation, without first obtaining Administrative Agent’s express written consent, the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Property pursuant to this Security Instrument or following any foreclosure of this Security Instrument, and the rights of any person or entity to whom Administrative Agent might transfer the Property following a foreclosure of this Security Instrument, will be senior and superior to any taxes, charges, fees, assessments or other impositions of any kind or nature whatsoever, or liens (whether statutory, contractual or otherwise) levied or imposed, or to be levied or imposed, upon the Property or any portion thereof as a result of inclusion of the Property in such district or districts.
29
Section 16.4 APPLICABLE INTEREST. All agreements herein made are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds of the indebtedness secured hereby, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid balance thereof or otherwise, shall the interest and loan charges agreed to be paid to Administrative Agent for the use of the money advance or to be advanced in respect of the indebtedness secured hereby exceed the maximum amounts collectible under applicable laws in effect from time to time. If for any reason whatsoever the interest or loan charges paid or contracted to be paid in respect of the indebtedness secured hereby shall exceed the maximum amounts collectible under applicable laws in effect from time to time, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay such interest and/or loan charges shall be reduced to the maximum amounts collectible under applicable laws in effect from time to time, and any amounts collected by Administrative Agent that exceed such maximum amounts shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance and/or refunded to Trustor so that at no time shall the interest or loan charges paid or payable in respect of the indebtedness secured hereby exceed the maximum amounts permitted from time to time by applicable law.
