(b)
All buildings, structures, improvements, fixtures and appurtenances now or hereafter placed on the Land, and all apparatus and equipment now or hereafter attached in any manner to the Land or any building on the Land, including all pumping plants, engines, pipes, ditches and flumes, and also all gas, electric, cooking, heating, cooling, air conditioning, lighting, refrigeration and plumbing fixtures and equipment (collectively, the “Improvements”; and together with the Land, the “Premises”);
(c)
All easements and rights of way appurtenant to the Land; all crops growing or to be grown on the Land (including all such crops following severance from the Land); all standing timber upon the Land (including all such timber following severance from the Land); all development rights or credits and air rights; all water and water rights (whether riparian, appropriative, or otherwise, and whether or not appurtenant to the Land) and shares of stock and certificates pertaining to such water or water rights, ownership of which affect the Land; all minerals, oil, gas, and other hydrocarbon substances and rights thereto in, on, under, or upon the Land;
(d)
All existing and future leases, subleases, subtenancies, licenses, occupancy agreements and concessions relating to the use and enjoyment of all or any part of the Land or the Improvements, and any and all guaranties and other agreements relating to or made in connection with any of the foregoing;
(e)
All proceeds, including all claims to and demands for them, of the voluntary or involuntary conversion of any of the Land, Improvements, or the other property described above into cash or liquidated claims, including proceeds of all present and future fire, hazard or casualty insurance policies, whether or not such policies are required by Beneficiary, and all condemnation awards or payments now or later to be made by any public body or decree by any court of competent jurisdiction for any taking or in connection with any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, and all causes of action and their proceeds for any breach of warranty, misrepresentation, damage or injury to, or defect in, the Land, Improvements, or the other property described above or any part of them; and
(f)
All proceeds of, additions and accretions to, substitutions and replacements for, and changes in any of the property described above.
The lien of this Deed of Trust shall extend to all of Grantor’s present and future interests, title and estate in the Secured Property (all such interests, title and estate being defined as a part of the Secured Property). Without limiting the foregoing, Grantor specifically agrees that the lien on the Secured Property created by this Deed of Trust shall extend to all Grantor’s interests, title and estate in the Secured Property if Grantor should acquire fee simple title (or any lesser title,
-36-
interest or estate) in or to the Secured Property or any part thereof, whether by exercise of an option to purchase, by operation of law, or otherwise. Grantor presently and hereby conveys all such future interests and title and estate including, but not limited to the fee simple interest with the same full general warranties of title as the Secured Property. The priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust shall be determined by the time of its original recording in the event that the Grantor shall acquire any such greater estate, title or interest in the Secured Property, the Grantor being estopped to deny the conveyance of such greater estate, title or interest herein. Further, Xxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that the granting, conveying and warranting the title to the fee simple interest or any other greater estate has been relied upon by the Trustee and Beneficiary and serves as a material inducement for the Secured Obligations.
To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Grantor hereby expressly waives the equity of redemption, statutory right of redemption, and, all homestead, dower and all other exemptions and marital rights.

Purpose of Securing. Grantor makes the grant, conveyance, transfer and assignment set forth in Article 1 (Grant in Trust), IN TRUST, makes the irrevocable and absolute assignment set forth in Article 3 (Assignment of Leases and Rents), and grants the security interest set forth in Article 4 (Security Interest in Related Personalty), all for the purpose of securing the following obligations (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”) in any order of priority that Beneficiary may choose:

Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith given by Grantor in favor of Beneficiary, pursuant to which Beneficiary made a loan to Grantor in the maximum principal amount of [____________________ Dollars ($____________)] (the “Maximum Principal Amount”), and having a final maturity date of [___________, 20__] (as the same may be increased, renewed, amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Promissory Note”), together with all interest, late charges, prepayment fees, additional interest, collection costs, fees, and expenses as provided in the Promissory Note, and any future advances of amounts available for borrowing under the Promissory Note, to the fullest extent permitted under Section 00-00-000, Colorado Revised Statutes, and/or other applicable law;
(b)
Payment and performance of all obligations of Grantor under this Deed of Trust;
(c)
Prompt and complete performance and observance of each and every covenant, obligation, or agreement of Grantor contained in this Deed of Trust or contained in any other document or instrument given by Grantor to further evidence or secure the indebtedness represented by the Promissory Note, but excluding any separate environmental indemnity; and
(d)
Payment of any additional sums (and accrued interest) that may be loaned or advanced by Beneficiary to Grantor under any promissory note or notes evidencing loans that specifically state that they are secured by this Deed of Trust.
This Deed of Trust also secures payment of all obligations of Grantor under the Promissory Note which arise after the Promissory Note is extended, renewed, modified or amended pursuant to any written agreement between Grantor and Beneficiary, and all obligations of Grantor under any successor agreement or instrument which restates and supersedes the Promissory Note in its entirety.

This Deed of Trust does not secure any obligation, which expressly states that it is unsecured, whether contained in the foregoing Promissory Note or in any other document, agreement or instrument. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Deed of Trust does not and shall not in any event be deemed to, secure the obligations of Grantor owing to Beneficiary under the Environmental Indemnity executed in connection with the foregoing Promissory Note or any obligations that are the substantial equivalent thereof.

Foreclosure through Trustee will be initiated by Beneficiary’s filing of its notice of election and demand for sale with Trustee.

(d)
Insurance Upon Foreclosure. In case of an insured loss after judicial foreclosure or Trustee’s sale proceedings have been instituted, the proceeds of any insurance policy or policies, if not applied to rebuilding or restoring the buildings or improvements, shall be used to pay the amount due upon the Secured Obligations. In the event of judicial foreclosure or Trustee’s sale, Beneficiary or Trustee is hereby authorized, without the consent of Grantor, to assign any and all insurance policies to the purchaser at the sale, or to take such other steps as Beneficiary or Trustee may deem advisable to cause the interest of such purchaser to be protected by any of the said insurance policies.
(e)

Nothing in this section dealing with foreclosure procedures or specifying particular actions to be taken by Beneficiary or by Trustee or any similar officer shall be deemed to contradict or add to the requirements and procedures now or hereafter specified by Colorado law, and any such inconsistency shall be resolved in favor of Colorado law applicable at the time of foreclosure.
Section 6.8
UCC Sale. Beneficiary may proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any part of the Personalty, and in conjunction therewith may exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code. When all time periods then legally mandated have expired, and after such notice of sale as may then be legally required has been given, Trustee may sell the Personalty at a public sale to be held at the time and place specified in the notice of sale. It shall be deemed commercially reasonable for the Trustee to dispose of the Personalty without giving any warranties as to the Personalty and specifically disclaiming all disposition warranties. Alternatively, Beneficiary may choose to dispose of some or all of the Secured Property, in

Section 6.12
Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Beneficiary shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted under applicable law, shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Grantor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Secured Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Secured Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Beneficiary shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Beneficiary thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default. Grantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any and all benefits Grantor may have to claim or assert that the Secured Obligations have been reinstated in accordance with its terms following the withdrawal of any foreclosure proceedings by Beneficiary, and acknowledges and agrees that reinstatement shall occur only upon written agreement of Beneficiary.
Section 6.13

The filing of any financing statement relating to any such property or rights or interests will not be construed to diminish or alter any of Beneficiary’s rights or priorities under this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary also will be entitled to treat both real and personal property interests as one (1) parcel or package of security or Beneficiary may commence a sequence of actions, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to realize upon the collateral.

Section 7.12
Governing Law.
(a)
The Promissory Note and the other Loan Documents relating to the Secured Obligations shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Washington (regardless of conflict of laws principles, the location of the Secured Property or the place of business, location or domicile of Grantor), except to the extent superseded by federal law. Any suit, if permitted, may be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of Washington located in the City of Seattle, King County, or of the United States for the Western District of Washington, and Grantor hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such proceeding or that such proceeding is brought in an inconvenient court. Grantor agrees that the laws or procedural rules of any jurisdiction except for Washington purporting to limit or affect Beneficiary’s ability to enforce its rights as set forth in this Trust Deed and any other documents referred to herein (including, without limitation, any fair value, security-first, security-only, or one-action provisions) are not applicable to the enforcement of Beneficiary’s rights thereunder. Grantor intends and understands that Beneficiary will rely upon the agreements in the foregoing sentences in providing the credit accommodations constituting the Secured Obligations.
(b)
Notwithstanding subparagraph (a) above, the laws of Colorado shall (i) govern the creation, perfection and priority of security interests upon real property or personal property perfected by filing, possession or control in the State of Colorado, (ii) govern the procedures regarding Beneficiary’s enforcement of its foreclosure and other remedies with respect to such real property or personal property, and (iii) apply in determining the legal requirements applicable to the care and preservation of the Secured Property. However, the foregoing limited application of Colorado law and the fact that portions of this Trust Deed or other documents relating to the Secured Obligations may include provisions drafted to conform to Colorado law are not intended in any way to derogate from the provisions set forth elsewhere in such documents designating Washington law as the governing law. Grantor
-36-
specifically acknowledges and agrees that Beneficiary’s right to collect a deficiency in connection with the sale of any collateral shall be governed solely by Colorado law.
Section 7.13
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS DEED OF TRUST OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE OTHER DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION AND (c) CERTIFIES THAT THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE.
Section 7.14
Waiver of Homestead and Other Exemptions. To the extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby waives all rights to any homestead or other exemption to which Grantor would otherwise be entitled under any present or future constitutional, statutory, or other provision of applicable state or federal law.

Section 7.15
Additional Grantor Waivers. Grantor waives the benefit of all laws related to marshalling of assets, notice of election to mature, or notice of election to declare due with respect to the Loan and the Secured Property. Any person or entity that has signed this Deed of Trust as an accommodation party or as a surety or that has subjected its property to this Deed of Trust to secure the debt of another expressly waives the benefits of any applicable statute or rule that may act to waive or limit the rights of Beneficiary, as a creditor, to seek performance from or collect from any surety or accommodation party. In any action by Beneficiary to recover a deficiency judgment for any balance due under the Promissory Note after a foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or in any action to recover or compel the performance of the Secured Obligations, Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the successful bid amount made at any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale, if any, will be deemed conclusively to constitute the fair market value of the Secured Property, will be binding against Grantor in any proceeding seeking to determine or contest the fair market value of the Secured Property, and will be the preferred alternative means of determining and establishing the fair market value of the Secured Property. To the fullest extent permissible by law, Grantor waives any right to have the fair market value of the Secured Property

Section 7.16
Security Intended. Notwithstanding any provision of this Deed of Trust to the contrary, the parties intend that this document is security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and will constitute a “deed of trust” with power of sale to a public trustee under Colorado law. If, despite that intention, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that this document does not qualify as a “trust deed” or “deed of trust” within the meaning of Colorado law, then, this instrument will be deemed a realty mortgage and will be enforceable as a realty mortgage under Colorado law, Grantor will be deemed a “mortgagor”, Beneficiary will be deemed a “mortgagee”, and Trustee will be disregarded and all references to the “Trustee” will be deemed to refer to the “mortgagee” to the extent not inconsistent with interpreting this instrument as though it were a realty mortgage.
Section 7.17
Interpretation. Whenever the context requires, all words used in the singular will be construed to have been used in the plural, and vice versa, and each gender will include any other gender. The captions of the sections of this Deed of Trust are for convenience only and do not define or limit any terms or provisions. The word “include(s)” means “include(s), without limitation,” and the word “including” means “including, but not limited to.” The word “obligations” is used in its broadest and most comprehensive sense, and includes all primary, secondary, direct, indirect, fixed and contingent obligations. It further includes all principal, interest, prepayment charges, late charges, loan fees and any other fees and charges accruing or assessed at any time, as well as all obligations to perform acts or satisfy conditions. No listing of specific instances, items or matters in any way limits the scope or generality of any language of this Deed of Trust. The Exhibit to this Deed of Trust are hereby incorporated in this Deed of Trust.

Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
Section 7.21
InHouse Counsel Fees. Whenever Grantor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary or Trustee for any attorneys’ fees, those fees shall include the allocated costs for services of inhouse counsel to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 7.22

Section 7.23
Severability. If any provision of this Deed of Trust should be held unenforceable or void, that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions and in no way affect the validity of this Deed of Trust except that if such provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then Beneficiary may, at its option, declare all Secured Obligations immediately due and payable.
