TO PROTECT THE SECURITY OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, TRUSTOR, HEREBY COVENANTS
AND AGREES AS FOLLOWS:
ARTICLE I
COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF TRUSTOR
1.1 Payment of Secured Obligations. Trustor shall pay when due the
principal of and the interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note; all
charges, fees and other sums as provided in the Loan Documents; the principal of
and interest on any future advances secured by this Deed of Trust; and the
principal of and interest on any other indebtedness secured by this Deed of
Trust.
1.2 Application of Payment. Except as otherwise expressly provided by
applicable law or any other provision of this Deed of Trust, all payments
received by Beneficiary from Trustor under the Note or this Deed of Trust shall
be applied by Beneficiary in the following order: (1) costs, fees, charges, and
advances paid or incurred by Beneficiary or payable to Beneficiary, and interest

loan documents securing the Note, in such order as Beneficiary, in Beneficiary's
sole discretion, elects; (2) interest payable under the Note; and (3) principal
payable under the Note.
1.3 Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) days after any request by
Beneficiary for such information, Trustor will execute and deliver to
Beneficiary, and any third party designated by Beneficiary, in recordable form,
a certificate reciting that the Note and this Deed of Trust are unmodified and
in full force and effect, or that the Note and this Deed of Trust are in full
force and effect as modified and specifying all modifications asserted by
Trustor.
Such certificate shall also recite the amount(s) of principal, interest,
and other sums payable under either the Note or this Deed of Trust that remain
unpaid, the date(s) through which payments due and owing under the Note or under
this Deed of Trust have been paid, the amount(s) of any payments theretofore
made under the Note and/or this Deed of Trust, and a
143
detailed statement of any right of set-off, counterclaim, or other defense that
exists or which Trustor contends exists, against any indebtedness secured by
this Deed of Trust or any obligation of borrower under this Deed of Trust.
Should Trustor fail to execute and deliver such certificate within ten
(10) day period: (a) the Note and this Deed of Trust shall, as to Trustor,
conclusively be deemed to be either in full force and effect, without
modification, or in full force and effect, modified in the manner and to
the-extent specified by Beneficiary, whichever Beneficiary reasonably and in
good faith may represent; and (b) Trustor shall conclusively be deemed
irrevocably to have constituted and appointed Beneficiary as Trustor's special
attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver such certificate to any third party.
Trustor and Beneficiary expressly agree that any certificate executed
and delivered by Trustor, or any representation in lieu of a certificate made by
Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust may be relied upon by any prospective
purchaser of the estate, or any prospective assignee of any interest of
Beneficiary in the Property, and any other person, without independent
investigation or examination to determine the accuracy, reasonableness, or good
faith of the recitals.
The exercise by Beneficiary of any right or remedy provided by this
paragraph shall not constitute a waiver of, or operate to cure any default by
Trustor under this Deed of Trust, or preclude any other right or remedy that is
otherwise available to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust or applicable law.
1.4 Future Advances. Upon request by Trustor, Beneficiary, at
Beneficiary's option, may make future advances to Trustor. All such future
advances, with interest thereon, shall be added to and become a part of the
indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust when evidenced by promissory note(s)
reciting that such note(s) are secured by this Deed of Trust.
1.5 Maintenance. Repair. Alterations and Compliance with Laws. Trustor
shall:
(a) Maintain, preserve and keep the Trust Estate in good condition
and repair;
(b) Not remove, demolish or substantially alter any of the
Improvements except upon the prior written consent of Beneficiary;
(c) Complete promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner any
Improvement which m ay be now or hereafter constructed on the Premises and
promptly restore in like manner any portion of the Improvements which may be
damaged or destroyed thereon from any cause whatsoever, and pay when due all
claims for labor performed and materials furnished therefor;
144
(d) Comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants,
conditions and restrictions now and hereafter affecting the Trust Estate or any
part thereof or requiring any alterations or Improvements;
(e) Not commit or permit any waste or deterioration of the Trust
Estate, and keep and maintain abutting grounds, sidewalks, roads, parking and
landscape areas in good and neat order and repair;
(f) Comply with the provisions of any lease, if this Deed of Trust
is on a leasehold; and
(g) Not commit, suffer or permit any act to be done in or upon the
Trust Estate in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation. Trustor shall not
apply for, willingly suffer or permit any change in zoning, subdivision or land
use regulations affecting the Property without first obtaining the written
consent of Beneficiary which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
1.6 Required Insurance. Trustor shall at all times provide, maintain and
keep in force or cause to be provided, maintained and kept in force, at no
expense to Trustee or Beneficiary, policies of insurance in form and amounts and
issued by companies, associations or organizations reasonably satisfactory to
Beneficiary covering such casualties, risks, perils, liabilities and other
hazards as Beneficiary may reasonably require. All such policies of insurance
required by the terms of this Deed of Trust shall contain an endorsement or
agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable in accordance with the
terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Trustor or any
party holding under Trustor which might otherwise result in forfeiture of said
insurance and the further agreement of the insurer waiving all rights of setoff,
counterclaim or deductions against Trustor.
1.7 Delivery of Policies. Payment of Premiums.
(a) At Beneficiary's option all policies of insurance shall either
have attached thereto a lender's loss payable endorsement for the benefit of
Beneficiary in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary or shall name
Beneficiary as an additional insured. Trustor shall furnish Beneficiary with an
original, a certified copy of an original or a certificate of all policies of
insurance required under Section 1.6 above which sets forth the coverage, the
limits of liability, the name of the carrier, the Policy number and the period
of coverage. If Beneficiary consents, Trustor may provide any of the required
insurance through blanket policies carried by Trustor and covering more than one
location, or by policies procured by a tenant or other party holding under
Trustor; provided, however, all such policies shall be in form and substance and
issued by companies satisfactory to Beneficiary. At least thirty (30) days prior
to the expiration of each required policy, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary
evidence of the renewal or replacement of such policy, continuing insurance in
form and substance as required by this Deed of Trust. All such policies shall
contain a provision that, notwithstanding any contrary agreement
145
between Trustor and insurance company, such policies will not be cancelled,
allowed to lapse without renewal, surrendered or materially amended, which term
shall include any reduction in the scope or limits of coverage, without at least
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Beneficiary.
(b) In the event Trustor fails to provide, maintain, keep in force
or deliver to Beneficiary the policies of insurance required by this Deed of
Trust Beneficiary may (but shall have no obligation to) procure such insurance
or single-interest insurance for such risks covering Beneficiary's interest, and
Trustor will pay all premiums thereon promptly upon demand by Beneficiary, and
until such payment is made by Trustor, the amount of all such premiums shall
bear interest at the Agreed Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and
request by Beneficiary, Trustor shall deposit with Beneficiary in monthly
installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated aggregate
annual insurance premiums on all policies of insurance required by this Deed of
Trust. In such event Trustor further agrees to cause all bills, statements or
other documents relating to the foregoing insurance premiums to be sent or
mailed directly to Beneficiary. Upon receipt of such bills, statements or other
documents evidencing that a premium for a required policy is then payable, and
providing Trustor has deposited sufficient funds with Beneficiary pursuant to
this Section 1.7, Beneficiary shall timely pay such amounts as may be due
thereunder out of the funds so deposited with Beneficiary. If at any time and
for any reason the funds deposited with Beneficiary are or will be insufficient
to pay such amounts as may be then or subsequently due, Beneficiary shall notify
Trustor and Trustor shall immediately deposit an amount equal to such deficiency
with Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall
cause Beneficiary to be deemed a trustee of said funds or to be obligated to pay
any amounts in excess of the amount of funds deposited with Beneficiary pursuant
to this Section 1.7, nor shall anything contained herein modify the obligation
of Trustor set forth in Section 1.6 hereof to maintain and keep such insurance
in force at all times. Beneficiary may commingle said reserve with its own funds
and Trustor shall be entitled to no interest thereon.
1.8 Casualties: Insurance Proceeds. In the event of any loss, whether or
not covered by insurance, Trustor shall give immediate written notice to the
Beneficiary and to the insurance carrier, if applicable, on an insured risk.
Trustor authorizes and empowers irrevocably, at Beneficiary's option and in
Beneficiary's sole discretion as attorney-in-fact for Trustor, to make proof of
loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in
and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and
receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Beneficiary's expenses
incurred in the collection of such proceeds, including reasonable attorneys'
fees. Trustor further authorizes Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option and in
Beneficiary's sole discretion, and regardless of whether there is any impairment
of the security for this Deed of Trust: (a) to apply the balance of such
proceeds, or any portion of them, upon any indebtedness secured by this Deed of
Trust, whether or not then due, including but not limited to, principal, accrued
interest and advances, and in such order or combination as Beneficiary may
determine; or (b) to hold the balance of such proceeds, or any portion of them,
in a noninterest bearing liability account to be used for the cost of
146
reconstruction, repair, or alteration of the Improvements on the property; or
(c) to release the balance of such proceeds, or any portion of them, to the
Trustor. If the insurance proceeds are held by Beneficiary to be used to
reimburse Trustor for the costs of restoration and repair of the Improvements,
the Improvements shall be restored to the equivalent of its original condition,
or such other condition as Beneficiary may approve in writing, and Beneficiary
may, at Beneficiary's option, condition disbursement of the proceeds on
Beneficiary's approval of such plans and specifications prepared by an architect
satisfactory to Beneficiary, contractor's cost estimates, architect's
certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of mechanics and materialmen,
and such other evidence of costs, percentage completion of construction,
application of payments, and satisfaction of liens, as Beneficiary may
reasonably require. Prior to disbursement or application of the proceeds, they
may be utilized by Beneficiary, who is entitled to all earnings on the proceeds,
if any.
If the insurance proceeds are applied to the payment of the sums secured
by this Deed of Trust, any such application of proceeds to principal shall not
extend or postpone the due date of the monthly installments referred to in this
Deed of Trust or change the amount of such installment.
If, after default under this Deed of Trust, the Premises are sold or the
Premises are acquired by Beneficiary, all right, title, and interest of Trustor
in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums on those, policies and in
and to the proceeds of those policies, resulting from damage to the Premises
prior to the sale or acquisition, shall pass to Beneficiary.
In no event shall either Trustee or Beneficiary be obligated to see to,
approve, or supervise the proper application of any hazard insurance proceeds
released to Trustor.
The receipt, application, use, and release of the hazard insurance
proceeds shall not cure or constitute a waiver of any default or pending notice
of default under this Deed of Trust, nor invalidate any act done pursuant to
such notice.
No hazard insurance proceeds paid or released to Trustor or applied on
the cost of repair, restoration, or alteration of the Improvements shall
constitute a payment of the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust.
It is further expressly understood and agreed between Trustor and
Beneficiary that the right and option of Beneficiary, in the exercise of its
sole discretion, to apply the proceeds or so much of them as may be necessary to
pay the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust, in whole or in part, is
absolute, and is not contingent or conditional upon the adequacy or value of the
remaining property to secure such unpaid indebtedness, or the nature, or extent
of the loss or damage for which such insurance proceeds are paid.
1.9 Assignment of Policies Upon Foreclosure. In the event of foreclosure
of this Deed of Trust or other transfer of title or assignment of the Trust
Estate in extinguishment, in
147
whole or in part, of the debt secured hereby, all right, title and interest of
Trustor in and to all policies of insurance required by Section 1.3 and covering
solely the Trust estate or any portion thereof shall inure to the benefit of and
pass to the successor in interest to Trustor or to the purchaser or grantee of
the Trust Estate.
1.10 Indemnification: Subrogation: Waiver of Offset.
(a) If Beneficiary is made a party to any litigation concerning the
Deed of Trust, any of the Loan Documents, the Trust Estate or any part thereof
or interest therein, or the occupancy of the Trust Estate by Trustor, then
Trustor shall indemnify, defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from all liability
by reason of said litigation, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
incurred by Beneficiary as a result of any such litigation, whether or not any
such litigation is prosecuted to judgment. However, Trustor shall not be
obligated to indemnify, defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against
any claims which arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Beneficiary. Beneficiary may employ an attorney or attorneys to protect its
rights hereunder, and in the event of such employment following any breach by
Trustor, Trustor shall pay Beneficiary reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
incurred by Beneficiary, whether or not an action is actually commenced against
Trustor by reason of its breach.
(b) Trustor waives any and all right to claim or recover against
Beneficiary, its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or
damage to Trustor, the Trust Estate, Trustor's property or the property of
others under Trustor's control from any cause insured against or required to be
insured against by the provisions of this Deed of Trust.
(c) All sums payable by Trustor pursuant to this Deed of Trust shall
be paid without notice, demand, counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense and
without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction, and the
obligations and liabilities of Trustor hereunder shall in no way be released,
discharged or otherwise affected (except as expressly provided herein) by reason
of: (i) any damage to or destruction of or any condemnation or similar taking of
the Trust Estate or any part thereof; (ii) any restriction or prevention of or
interference by any third party with any use of the Trust Estate or any part
thereof; (iii) any title defect or encumbrance or any eviction from the Premises
or the Improvements or any part thereof by title paramount or otherwise; (iv)
any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment,
dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to Beneficiary, or
any action taken with respect to this Deed of Trust by any trustee or receiver
of Beneficiary, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (v) any claim which
Trustor has or might have against Beneficiary; (vi) any default or failure on
the part of Beneficiary to perform or comply with any of the terms hereof or of
any other agreement with Trustor; or (vii) any other occurrence whatsoever,
whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing whether or not Trustor shall have
notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. Except as expressly provided
herein, Trustor waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or
otherwise to any abatement,
148
suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction of any sum secured hereby and
payable by Trustor.
1.11 Taxes and Impositions.
(a) Trustor shall pay, or cause to be paid prior to delinquency, all
real property taxes and assessments, general and special, and all other taxes
and assessments of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation,
nongovernmental levies or assessments such as maintenance charges, levies or
charges resulting from covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the
Trust Estate, which are assessed or imposed upon the Trust Estate, or become due
and payable, and which create, may create or appear to create a lien upon the
Trust Estate, or any part thereof, or upon any property, equipment or other
facility used in the operation or maintenance thereof (all the above shall
collectively be hereinafter referred to as "Impositions"); provided, however,
that if, by law any such Imposition is payable, or may at the option of the
taxpayer be paid, in installments, Trustor may pay the same or cause it to be
paid, together with any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such
Imposition, in installments as the same become due and before any fine, penalty,
interest or cost may be added thereto for the nonpayment of any such installment
and interest.
(b) If at any time after the date hereof there shall be assessed or
imposed (i) a tax or assessment on the Trust Estate in lieu of or in addition to
the impositions payable by Trustor pursuant to Section 1.11(a), or (ii) a
license fee, tax or assessment imposed on Beneficiary and measured by or based
in whole or in part upon the amount of the outstanding obligations secured
hereby, then all such taxes, assessments or fees shall be deemed to be included
within the term "Impositions" as defined in Section 1.11(a) and Trustor shall
pay and discharge the same as herein provided with respect to the payment of
Impositions. If Trustor fails to pay such Impositions prior to delinquency or if
Trustor is prohibited by law from paying such Impositions, Beneficiary may at
its option declare all obligations secured hereby together with all accrued
interest thereon, immediately due and payable. Anything to the contrary herein
notwithstanding, Trustor shall have no obligation to pay any franchise, estate,
inheritance, income, excess profits or similar tax levied on Beneficiary or on
the obligations secured hereby.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 1.11(d) and upon request by
Beneficiary, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary within thirty (30) days after
the last date prior to delinquency for payment of any such Imposition official
receipts of the appropriate taxing authority, or other proof satisfactory to
Beneficiary, evidencing the payment thereof.
(d) Trustor shall have the right before any delinquency occurs to
contest or object to the amount or validity of any such Imposition by
appropriate proceedings, but such right shall not be deemed or construed in any
way as relieving, modifying or extending Trustor's covenant to pay any such
Imposition at the time and in the manner provided in this Section 1.11, unless
Trustor has given prior written notice to Beneficiary of Trustor's intent to so
contest or object to an Imposition, and unless, at Beneficiary's sole option,
(i) Trustor shall demonstrate to
149
Beneficiary's satisfaction that the proceedings to be initiated by Trustor shall
conclusively operate to prevent the sale of the Trust Estate, or any part
thereof, and to satisfy such Imposition prior to final determination of such
proceedings; and (ii) Trustor shall furnish a good and sufficient bond or surety
as requested by and satisfactory to Beneficiary; or (iii) Trustor shall
demonstrate to Beneficiary's satisfaction that Trustor has provided a good and
sufficient undertaking as may be required or permitted by law to accomplish a
stay of any such sale.
(e) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and request by
Beneficiary, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary an initial cash reserve in an
amount adequate to pay all Impositions for the ensuing tax fiscal year and shall
thereafter continue to deposit with Beneficiary, in monthly installments, an
amount equal to one twelfth (1/12) of the sum of the annual Impositions
reasonably estimated by Beneficiary, for the purpose of paying the installment
of Impositions next due on the Trust Estate (funds deposited for this purpose
shall hereinafter be referred to as "Impounds"). In such event Trustor further
agrees to cause all bills, statements or other documents relating to Impositions
to be sent or mailed directly to Beneficiary. Upon receipt of such bills,
statements or other documents, and providing Trustor has deposited sufficient
Impounds with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 1.11(e), Beneficiary shall
timely pay such amounts as may be due thereunder out of the Impounds so
deposited with Beneficiary. If at any time and for any reason the Impounds
deposited with Beneficiary are or will be insufficient to pay such amounts as
may then or subsequently be due, Beneficiary may notify Trustor and upon such
notice Trustor shall deposit immediately an amount equal to such deficiency with
Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall cause
Beneficiary to be deemed a trustee of said funds or to be obligated to pay any
amounts in excess of the amount of funds deposited with Beneficiary pursuant to
this Section 1.11(e). Beneficiary may commingle Impounds with its own funds and
shall not be obligated to pay or allow any interest on any Impounds held by
Beneficiary pending disbursement or application hereunder. Beneficiary may
reserve for future payment of Impositions such portion of the Impounds as
Beneficiary may in its absolute discretion deem proper. Upon an Event of Default
under any of the Loan Documents or this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may apply the
balance of the Impounds upon any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby in
such order as Beneficiary may determine, notwithstanding that said indebtedness
or the performance of said obligation may not yet be due according to the terms
thereof. Should Trustor fail to deposit with Beneficiary (exclusive of that
portion of said payments which has been applied by Beneficiary upon any
indebtedness or obligation secured hereby) sums sufficient to fully pay such
Impositions at least fifteen (15) days before delinquency thereof, Beneficiary
may, at Beneficiary's election, but without any obligation so to do, advance any
amounts required to make up the deficiency, which advances, if any, shall be
secured hereby and shall be repayable to Beneficiary as herein elsewhere
provided, or at the option of Beneficiary the latter may, without making any
advance whatever, apply any Impounds held by it upon any indebtedness or
obligation secured hereby in such order as Beneficiary may determine,
notwithstanding that said indebtedness or the performance of said obligation may
not yet be due according to the terms thereof. Should any Event of Default occur
or exist on the part of the Trustor in the payment or performance of any of
Trustor's or any guarantor's obligations under the terms of the Loan

obligation of the Trustor secured hereby in such manner and order as Beneficiary
may elect, notwithstanding said indebtedness or the performance of said
obligation may not yet be due according to the terms thereof. The receipt, use
or application of any such Impounds paid by Trustor to Beneficiary hereunder

this Deed of Trust or any of the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee
under the terms of the Loan Documents or any of the obligations of Trustor or
any guarantor under the Loan Documents.

utility charges which are incurred by Trustor for the benefit of the Trust
Estate or which may become a charge or lien against the Trust Estate for gas,

any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights
or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; and shall pay all costs and expenses,
including the cost of evidence of title and attorneys' fees, in any such action
or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear.
1.14 Actions By Trustee or Beneficiary to Preserve Trust Estate. If
Trustor fails to make any payment or to do any act as and in the manner provided
in any of the Loan Documents, Beneficiary and/or Trustee, each in its own
discretion, without obligation so to do, without releasing Trustor from any
obligation, and without notice to or demand upon Trustor, may make or do the
same in such manner and to such extent as either may deem necessary to protect
the security hereof. In connection therewith (without limiting their general
powers, whether conferred herein, in another Loan Document or by law),
Beneficiary and Trustee shall have and are hereby given the right, but not the
obligation, (i) to enter upon and take possession of the Trust Estate; (ii) to
make additions, alterations, repairs and improvements to the Trust Estate which
they or either of them may consider necessary or proper to keep the Trust Estate
in good condition and repair; (iii) to appear and participate in any action or
proceeding affecting or which may affect the security hereof or the rights or
powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; (iv) to
151
pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, claim, charge, lien or
debt which in the judgment of either may affect or appear to affect the security

powers, to pay necessary expenses, including employment of counsel or other
necessary or desirable consultants. Trustor shall, immediately upon demand
therefor by Beneficiary and Trustee or any of them, pay to Beneficiary and
Trustee an amount equal to all respective costs and expenses incurred by them in
connection with the exercise by either Beneficiary or Trustee or both of the
foregoing rights, including, without limitation, costs of evidence of title,
court costs, appraisals, surveys and receiver's, trustee's and attorneys' fees,
together with interest thereon from the date of such expenditures at the Agreed
Rate.
1.15 Transfer of Trust Estate by Trustor. In order to induce Beneficiary
to make the loan secured hereby, Trustor agrees that, in the event of any
transfer of the Trust Estate without the prior written consent of the
Beneficiary, Beneficiary shall have the absolute right at its option, without
prior demand or notice, to declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and
payable. Consent to one such transaction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
the right to require consent to future or successive transactions. Beneficiary
may grant or deny such consent in its sole discretion and, if consent should be
given, any such transfer shall be subject to this Deed of Trust, and any such
transferee shall assume all obligations hereunder and agree to be bound by all
provisions contained herein. Such assumption shall not, however, release Trustor
or any maker or guarantor of the Note from any liability thereunder without the
prior written consent of Beneficiary. As used herein, "transfer" includes the
direct or indirect sale, agreement to sell, transfer, conveyance, pledge,
collateral assignment or hypothecation of the Trust Estate, or any portion
thereof or interest therein, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law
or otherwise, the execution of any installment land sale contract or similar
instrument affecting all or a portion of the Trust Estate, or the lease of all
or substantially all of the Trust Estate. The term "transfer" shall also include
the direct or indirect transfer, assignment, hypothecation or conveyance of
legal or beneficial ownership of (i) any partnership interest in Trustor
(general or limited), or (ii) more than 50% of the voting stock of Trustor. The
term "transfer" shall not include the sale of any portion of the Premises so
long as Trustor complies with any reasonable conditions specified by Beneficiary
relating to such sales activity.
1.16 Full Performance Required: Survival of Warranties. All
representations, warranties and covenants of Trustor contained in any loan
application or made to Beneficiary in connection with the loan secured hereby or
contained in the Loan Documents or incorporated by reference therein, shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and shall remain
continuing obligations, warranties and representations of Trustor so long as any
portion of the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust remain outstanding.
1.17 Eminent Domain. In the event that any proceeding or action be
commenced for the taking of the Trust Estate, 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 be taken or damaged by reason of any
public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in any other
152
manner, or should Trustor receive any notice or other information regarding such
proceeding, action, taking or damage, Trustor shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall be entitled at its option, without
regard to the adequacy of its security, to commence, appear in and prosecute in
its own name any such action or proceeding. Beneficiary shall also be entitled
to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such taking or damage.
All compensation, awards, damages, rights of action and proceeds awarded to
Trustor by reason of any such taking or damage to the Premises or the
Improvements, 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 Beneficiary and Trustor agrees
to execute such further assignments of the Condemnation Proceeds as Beneficiary
or Trustee may require. 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, Beneficiary shall apply all such Condemnation
Proceeds to the restoration of the Improvements, provided that the taking or
damage will not, in Beneficiary's reasonable judgment, materially affect the
contemplated use and operation of the Improvements.
If the above condition is met, Beneficiary shall disburse the
Condemnation Proceeds as repairs or replacements are effected and continuing
expenses become due and payable. If the following completion of all such repairs
and replacements any Condemnation Proceeds remain undisbursed, then Beneficiary
shall apply such undisbursed Condemnation Proceeds toward payment of the
outstanding balance of the Loan, and any Condemnation Proceeds which remain
undisbursed after payment in full of the Loan shall be released by Beneficiary
to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. If any one or more of the
above conditions are not met, Beneficiary shall apply all of the Condemnation
Proceeds, after deductions as herein provided, to the repayment of the
outstanding balance of the Note, together with accrued interest thereon,
notwithstanding that said outstanding balance may not be due and payable. If the
Condemnation Proceeds are not sufficient to repay the Note in full, Trustor
shall immediately pay any remaining balance, together with accrued interest
thereon. Application or release of the Condemnation Proceeds as provided herein
shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
1.18 Additional Security. No other security now existing, or hereafter
taken, to secure the obligations secured hereby shall be impaired or affected by
the execution of this Deed of Trust, and all additional security shall be taken,
considered and held as cumulative. The taking of additional security, execution
of partial releases of the security, or any extension of the time of payment of
the indebtedness shall not diminish the force, effect or lien of this Deed of
Trust and shall not affect or impair the liability of any maker, surety or
endorser for the payment of said indebtedness. In the event Beneficiary at any
time holds additional security for any of the obligations secured hereby, it may
enforce the sale thereof or otherwise realize upon the same, at its option,
either before, concurrently, or after a sale in made hereunder.
153
1.19 Appointment of Successor Trustee. Beneficiary may, from time to
time, by a written instrument executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary, mailed
to Trustor and recorded in the county in which the Trust Estate is located and
by otherwise complying with the provisions of applicable law, substitute a
successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder; and
said successor shall, without conveyance from the Trustee predecessor, succeed
to all title, estate, rights, powers and duties of said predecessor.
1.20 Successors and Assigns. This Deed of Trust applies to, inures to
the benefit of and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees,

1.21 Inspections. Beneficiary, or it agents, representatives or workers,
are authorized to enter at any reasonable time upon or in any part of the Trust
Estate for the purpose of inspecting the same and for the purpose of performing
any of the acts it is authorized to perform hereunder or under the terms of any
of the Loan Documents.
1.22 Liens. Trustor shall pay and promptly discharge, at Trustor's cost
and expense, all liens, encumbrances and charges upon the Trust Estate, or any
part thereof or interest therein; provided that Trustor shall have the right to
contest in good faith the validity of any such lien, the encumbrance or charge.
If Trustor shall fail to remove and discharge any such lien, encumbrance or
charge, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Beneficiary,
Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same, either by
paying the amount claimed to be due, or by procuring the discharge of such lien,
encumbrance or charge by depositing in a court a bond or the amount claimed or
otherwise giving security for such claim, or by procuring such discharge in such
manner as is or may be prescribed by law. Trustor shall, immediately upon demand
therefor by Beneficiary, pay to Beneficiary an amount equal to all costs and
expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the exercise by Beneficiary
of the foregoing right to discharge any such lien encumbrance or charge,
together with interest thereon from the date of such expenditure at the Agreed
Rate.
1.23 Trustee's Powers. At any time, or from time to time, without
liability therefor and without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary and
presentation of this Deed of Trust and the Note secured hereby for endorsement,
and without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of the
indebtedness secured hereby or the effect of this Deed of Trust upon the
remainder of said Trust Estate, Trustee may (i) reconvey any part of said Trust
Estate, (ii) consent in writing to the making of any map or plat thereof, (iii)
join in granting any easement thereon, (iv) or join in any extension agreement
or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.
1.24 Beneficiary's Powers. Without affecting the liability of any other
person liable for the payment of any obligation herein mentioned, and without
affecting the lien or charge of this Deed of Trust upon any portion of the Trust
Estate not then or theretofore released as
154
security for the full amount of all unpaid obligations, Beneficiary may, from
time to time and without notice (i) release any person so liable, (ii) extend
the maturity or alter any of the terms of any such obligation, (iii) grant other
indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at
any time at Beneficiary's option any parcel, portion or all of the Trust Estate,
(v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein
mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in
relation thereto.
1.25 Trade Names. At the request of Beneficiary, Trustor shall execute a
certificate in form satisfactory to Beneficiary listing the trade names or
fictitious business names under which Trustor intends to operate the Trust
Estate or any business located thereon and representing and warranting that
Trustor does business under no other trade names or fictitious business name*--
with respect to the Trust Estate. Trustor shall immediately notify Beneficiary
in writing of any change in said trade names or fictitious business names, and
will, upon request of Beneficiary, execute any additional financing statements
and other certificates necessary to reflect the change in trade names or
fictitious business names.
1.26 Leasehold. If a leasehold estate constitutes a portion of the Trust
Estate, Trustor agrees not to amend, change, terminate or modify such leasehold
estate or any interest therein without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.
Consent to one amendment, change, agreement or modification shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of the right to require consent to other, future or successive
amendments, changes, agreements or modifications. Trustor agrees to perform all
obligations and agreements under said leasehold and shall not take any action or
omit to take any action which would effect or permit the termination of said
leasehold. Trustor agrees to promptly notify Beneficiary in writing with respect
to any default or alleged default by any party thereto and to deliver to
Beneficiary copies of all notices, demands, complaints or other communications
received or given by Trustor with respect to any such default or alleged
default. Beneficiary shall have the option to cure any such default and to
perform any or all of Trustor's obligations thereunder. All sums expended by
Beneficiary in curing any such default shall be secured hereby and shall be
immediately due and payable without demand or notice and shall bear interest
from date of expenditure at the Agreed Rate.
ARTICLE II
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, ISSUES AND PROFITS
2.1 Assignment of Rents, Issues and Profits. Trustor further irrevocably
grants, transfers and assigns to Beneficiary the rents, income, issues, and
profits from the Premises, absolutely and unconditionally, and not merely as
additional collateral security for the indebtedness secured by this Deed of
Trust. In addition, upon execution by Trustor, Trustor assigns all right to
income and profits emanating from that certain Mining Lease Agreement by and
between Trustor and Twin Mountain Rock Venture to Beneficiary, and Beneficiary
shall have the right to directly make demand on Twin Mountain Rock Venture for
such income and profits.
155
2.2 Assignment to Beneficiary. Trustor hereby assigns and transfers to
Beneficiary all the Rents of the Trust Estate, and hereby gives to and confers
upon Beneficiary the right, power and authority to collect such Rents. Trustor
irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, at the
option of Beneficiary at any time and from time to time, to demand, receive and
enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions, and to sue, in
the name of Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, for all such Rents, issues and
profits and apply the same to the indebtedness secured hereby; provided,
however, that so long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred hereunder
and be continuing, Trustor shall have the right to collect such Rents in
accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Assignment of Rents. Upon
request of Beneficiary, Trustor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in
recordable form, a specific assignment of any Lease, now or hereafter affecting
the Trust Estate or any portion thereof, to further evidence the assignment
hereby made.
2.3 Election of Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder Beneficiary may, at its option, exercise its rights under the
Assignment of Rents or exercise (or cause the Trustee to exercise) its rights
hereunder. If Beneficiary elects to exercise its rights hereunder, Beneficiary
or Trustee may, at any time without notice, either in person, by agent or by a
receiver appointed by a court, enter upon and take possession of all or any
portion of the Trust Estate, enforce all Leases, collect all Rents, including
those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, to the costs and expenses of
operation of the Trust Estate and collection, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, and to any indebtedness then secured hereby, and in such order
as Beneficiary may determine. In connection with the exercise by Beneficiary of
its rights hereunder or under the Assignment of Rents, Trustor agrees that
Beneficiary shall have the right to specifically enforce such rights and to
obtain the appointment of a receiver in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.4 hereof without regard to the value of the Trust Estate or the
adequacy of any security for the obligations then secured hereby. The collection
of such Rents or the entering upon and taking possession of the Trust Estate, or
the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or
notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such
default or pursuant to such notice of default, or be deemed or construed to make
Beneficiary a mortgage-in-possession of the Trust Estate or any portion thereof.
ARTICLE III
REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Encumbrance.
For purposes of this Deed of Trust, the term "Prior Encumbrance" shall

3.2 Acceleration Upon Default, Additional Remedies. Upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at its option, declare all indebtedness
secured hereby to be immediately due and payable without any presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind.
Thereafter, Beneficiary may:
(a) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any
action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without regard
to the adequacy of its security, enter upon and take possession of the Trust
Estate, or any part thereof, in its own name or in the of Trustee, and do any
act which it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value, marketability
or rentability of the Trust Estate, or any part thereof or interest therein,
increase the income therefrom or protect the security thereof and, with or
without taking possession of the Trust Estate, sue for or otherwise collect the
rents, issues and profits thereof, including those past due and unpaid, and
apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, all
in such order as Beneficiary may determine. The entering upon and taking
possession of the Trust Estate, the collection of such rents, issues and profits
and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or
notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such
default or pursuant to such notice of default and, notwithstanding the
continuance in possession of all or any portion of the Trust Estate or the
collection, receipt and application of rents, issues or profits, Trustee or
Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in any of the
Loan Documents or by law upon occurrence of any Event of Default, including the
right to exercise the power of sale;
(b) Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a
mortgage, appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants
hereof;
(c) Deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand
for sale, and a written notice of default and election to cause Trustor's
interest in the Trust Estate to be sold,
157
which notice Trustee or Beneficiary shall cause to be duly filed for record in
the Official Records of the county in which the Trust Estate is located; or
(d) Exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein in any
Loan Document or other document or agreement now or hereafter securing all or
any portion of the obligations secured hereby, or by law.

by exercise of the power of sale hereby contained, Beneficiary shall notify
Trustee and shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust and the Note and such
receipt and evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as Trustee may
require.
(a) Upon receipt of such notice from Beneficiary, Trustee shall
cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Trustor such Notice of Default
and Election to Sell as then required by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee
shall, without demand on Trustor, after lapse of such time as may then be
required by law and after recordation of such Notice of Default and after Notice
of Sale having been given as required by law, sell the Trust Estate at the time
and place of sale fixed by it in said Notice of Sale, either as a whole, or in
separate lots or parcels or items as Trustee shall deem expedient, and in such
order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in
lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall
deliver to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or
deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty,
express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be
conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without
limitation, Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale and
Trustor hereby covenants to warrant and defend the title of such purchaser or
purchasers.
(b) After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of
this Trust, including costs of evidence of title in connection with sale,
Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale in the following priority, to payment
of: (i) first, all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with
accrued interest at the Agreed Rate; (ii) second, all other sums then secured
hereby; and (iii) the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally
entitled thereto.
(c) Subject to California Civil Code Section 2924g, Trustee may
postpone sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate by public announcement
at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone
such sale by public announcement or subsequently noticed sale, and without
further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or
may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale.
3.4 Appointment of Receiver. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder, Beneficiary, as a matter of right and without notice to Trustor or
anyone claiming under Trustor, and without regard to the then value of the Trust
Estate or the adequacy of any security for the obligations then secured hereby,
shall have the right to apply to any court having
158
jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Trust Estate, and Trustor
hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any
application therefor. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual
powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and
duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided herein and shall continue as
such and exercise all such powers until the later of (i) the date of
confirmation of sale of the Trust Estate; (ii) the disbursement of all proceeds
of the Trust Estate collected by such receiver and the payment of all expenses
incurred in connection therewith; or (iii) the termination of such receivership
with the consent of Beneficiary or pursuant to an order of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
3.5 Remedies Not Exclusive. Trustee and Beneficiary, and each of them,
shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any indebtedness or
obligations secured hereby and to exercise all rights and powers under this Deed
of Trust or under any Loan Document or other agreement or any laws now or
hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the said indebtedness and
obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by
mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the
acceptance of this Deed of Trust nor its enforcement whether by court action or
pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein contained, shall prejudice
or in any manner affect Trustee's or Beneficiary's right to realize upon or
enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Trustee or Beneficiary, it
being agreed that Trustee and Beneficiary, and each of them, shall be entitled
to enforce this Deed of Trust and any other security now or hereafter held by
Beneficiary or Trustee in such order and manner as they or either of them may in
their absolute discretion determine. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to Trustee or Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein
or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan
Documents to Trustee or Beneficiary or to which either of them may be otherwise
entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and
as often as may be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary and either of them
may pursue inconsistent remedies. No waiver of any default of the Trustor
hereunder shall be implied from any omission by the Beneficiary to take any
action on account of such default if such default persists or be repeated, and
no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in
the express waiver and that only for the time and to the extent therein stated.
No acceptance of any payment of any one or more delinquent installments which
does not include interest at the penalty or default rate from the date of
delinquency, together with any required late charge, shall constitute a waiver
of the right of Beneficiary at any time thereafter to demand and collect payment
of interest at such default rate or of late charges, if any.
3.6 Request for Notice. Trustor hereby requests a copy of any notice of
default and that any notice of sale hereunder by mailed to it at the address set
forth in Section 4.5 of this Deed of Trust.

entitled thereto."
