Further, it shall be lawful for the holder of the Certificate of Purchase covering the Mortgaged Property to make any of the foregoing expenditures, and upon filing receipts evidencing payment of the same with Trustee or the Sheriff or other person lawfully conducting said sale and issuing said Certificate of Purchase, such payments or expenditures shall thereupon become an additional claim or indebtedness in favor of the holder of such Certificate of Purchase and against the Mortgaged Property so sold.

AND upon payment in full of the Secured Indebtedness, the Beneficiary shall cause the release of this Deed of Trust and all liens and security interests created hereunder. GENERAL COVENANTS THE GRANTOR FURTHER COVENANTS AND AGREES AS FOLLOWS: 1. Existence. Grantor will continuously maintain its existence as a Minnesota corporation as currently constituted. 2. Payment. Grantor will make prompt payment, as the same become due, of all installments of principal, interest, and other charges becoming due under the Note or this Deed of Trust. 3. Maintenance; Repairs. The Grantor shall keep and maintain the Mortgaged Property in materially good condition, repair and operating condition free from any waste or misuse, and will comply with all requirements of law, municipal ordinances and regulations, restrictions and covenants affecting the Mortgaged Property and its use, and will promptly repair or restore any building, improvements or structures now or hereafter located on the Premises which may become damaged or destroyed to their condition prior to any such damage or destruction. 4. Payment of Taxes and Prior Encumbrances. During the continuance of the Secured Indebtedness or any part thereof, the Grantor will pay or cause to be paid all taxes and assessments levied on the Mortgaged Property when due (including water and or water company stock assessments and periodic condominium or owner association dues or assessments, if any) and all amounts due or to become due on account of principal and interest on prior encumbrances, if any, and upon demand will furnish Beneficiary receipted bills evidencing such payment. 5 6 Nothing in this Section 4 shall require the payment or discharge of any obligations imposed upon the Grantor by this Section so long as the Grantor shall diligently and in good faith and at its own expense contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the collection thereof or other realization thereon and the sale or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof to satisfy the same; provided, however, that during such contest the Grantor shall, at the reasonable request of the Beneficiary, provide security satisfactory to the Beneficiary, assuring the discharge of the Grantor's obligation under this Section and of any additional charge, penalty or expense arising from or incurred as a result of such contest; and provided further, however, that if at any time payment of any obligation imposed upon the Grantor by this Section shall become necessary to prevent the delivery of a tax deed conveying the Land or any portion thereof because of nonpayment, then the Grantor shall pay the same in sufficient time to prevent the delivery of such tax deed. 5. Insurance. Grantor shall keep the Mortgaged Property insured, in such amounts and with such companies as Beneficiary shall approve in writing, against loss by fire, lightning, windstorm, tornado, flood, boiler explosion or malfunction, any other casualty, and public liability with loss of rents and such other causes as may be required by Beneficiary with loss payable to the Beneficiary hereunder as its interest may appear. Grantor will deliver to the Beneficiary the policy or policies of insurance, with a standard mortgage clause in favor of Beneficiary, as further security for the Secured Indebtedness. In the event of loss or damage, the proceeds of all such insurance may be applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness if an Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing or otherwise shall be applied to the repair, rebuilding, or replacement of the improvements damaged or destroyed. The said proceeds of such insurance, if to be applied to repair, rebuilding or replacement of improvements, shall be retained in the possession of the Beneficiary until the said repair, rebuilding or replacement, in the sole judgment of the Beneficiary, is complete. 6. Advances by Beneficiary for Taxes, Insurance or Prior Encumbrances. In the case of the refusal or neglect of the Grantor to thus insure and deliver the policies of insurance or to pay such taxes or assessments or amounts due or to become due on prior encumbrances, if any, the Beneficiary may procure said insurance or pay such taxes, assessments or amount due upon prior encumbrances, if any, and all monies thus paid, with interest thereon at 18% per annum, shall become so much additional indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust, and shall be paid out of the proceeds of sale of the Property aforesaid if not otherwise paid by the Grantor. Such failure to so insure or to pay such amounts shall be a violation or breach of the covenants of this Deed of Trust. 7. Possession of the Property-Appointment of Receiver. In the case of any default or breach under the terms and covenants of the Secured Indebtedness or this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary shall at once become entitled to the possession, use and enjoyment of the Mortgaged Property and to the issues and profits therefrom, from the date of the accruing of such right and continuing during the pendency of foreclosure proceedings including any period of redemption. Such possession shall at once be delivered to the Beneficiary or the holder of the Certificate of Purchase upon demand. Upon refusal, the delivery of such possession may be enforced by the Beneficiary or the holder of the Certificate of Purchase by an appropriate civil suit or proceeding. The Beneficiary or the holder of the Certificate of Purchase shall be entitled to appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property to receive the rents, issues and profits therefrom from and after any such default, including the time covered by foreclosure proceedings and the period of redemption, as a matter of right without regard to the solvency or insolvency of the Grantor or of the then owner of said Property and without regard to the value of the Mortgaged Property. Such receiver may be appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction upon ex-parte application and without notice, notice being 6 7 hereby expressly waived. All profits, income and revenue from said Mortgaged Property shall be applied by such receiver to the payment first of the fees and costs of such receivership proceeding and then to the Secured Indebtedness. The balance remaining, if any, shall be disposed of in accordance with the orders and directions of the court. The fees of any such receiver, attorneys' fees incurred in appointment of the receiver and administration of the receivership estate and all costs, including court costs, shall be the liability of the Grantor, its successors and assigns, shall be due and payable upon demand and shall become so much additional indebtedness secured hereby. Failure to pay said fees and costs upon demand shall be in breach of the terms of this Deed of Trust. 8. Alienation or Encumbrance of the Mortgaged Property. In the event the Grantor shall sell, convey, alienate, encumber or dispose of the Mortgaged Property described in this Deed of Trust, any part thereof or any interest therein (including, but not limited to, outright conveyance; conveyance or alienation of any interest in the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof; and alienation of any interest in the Mortgaged Property by lease or rental agreement with option to purchase) the entire Secured Indebtedness, irrespective of the maturity dates expressed therein, shall, at the option of the Beneficiary and without delay or notice, immediately become due and payable; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantor may purchase additional FF&E for use with respect to the Leased Premises and grant purchase money liens thereon and may also sell and replace worn out and obsolete equipment in the ordinary course of business. If the Beneficiary does not accelerate the obligation, the Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to its waiver of its right to accelerate the obligation, (a) may require the party to whom the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof is alienated to assume this Deed of Trust and the Secured Indebtedness; (b) may charge a transfer fee (which shall be in addition to title insurance, abstracting, credit reports, surveys, attorneys' fees and other charges pertaining to the transfer or sale); and/or (c) may increase the interest rate on the Secured Indebtedness to a rate in excess of the rate set forth in the Note secured by this Deed of Trust. In the event the Grantor shall further encumber the Mortgaged Property described in this Deed of Trust by creation of a lien or encumbrance junior to the lien of this Deed of Trust without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary hereunder or otherwise then as permitted herein, the entire Secured Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust, irrespective of the maturity dates expressed therein, shall at the option of the Beneficiary and without delay or notice become immediately due and payable. Nothing in this paragraph shall, however, limit the ability of the Beneficiary hereunder to withhold consent to alienation of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in the paragraph immediately above. 9. Security Agreement; Financing Statement; Personalty. Grantor and Beneficiary agree that this deed of trust shall constitute a Security Agreement within the meaning of the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code (hereinafter in this paragraph referred to as the "Code") with respect to any Mortgaged Property constituting personal property affixed to, located upon, arising from or used in conjunction with the Leased Premises, which property may or may not be deemed to form a part of the above-described real property or may or may not constitute a "fixture" together with all replacements of such property, substitutions for such property, additions to such property, and the proceeds thereof, any claims resulting from damage to or destruction of any or all of such property, including without limitation, claims under policies of insurance relating thereto, and the proceeds of such claims (said property and the replacements, substitutions and additions thereto and the proceeds thereof being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Collateral"). A security interest in and to the Collateral is hereby granted to the Beneficiary and all of Grantor's right, title and interest therein are hereby assigned to the Beneficiary, all to secure payment of the Secured Indebtedness and to secure performance of the terms, covenants and provisions hereof. In the event of a default under this deed of trust, Beneficiary, pursuant to Section 4-9-501(4), C.R.S., shall have the option 7 8 of proceeding with respect to the Mortgaged Property as to both real and personal property in accordance with its rights and remedies with respect to the Mortgaged Property, in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply. In such event, Beneficiary's bid at public trustee's or sheriff's sale shall be deemed to be a bid for both the real and personal property. The certificate of purchase, deed or certificate of redemption (whichever is or are appropriate) issued in such sale shall also constitute a bill of sale for the said personal property. Grantor shall not be entitled to redeem either the real or personal property separate one from the other. The parties agree that, in the event the Beneficiary shall elect to proceed with respect to the Collateral separately from the real property described herein, five (5) days' notice of the sale of the Collateral shall be reasonable notice. The reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by the Beneficiary shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys, fees and legal expenses incurred by Beneficiary. 10. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Deed of Trust and in the event the Grantor or the Grantor's successors or assigns fail to pay Beneficiary any and all sums due according to the terms of the Note and this Deed of Trust and fail to observe and perform any of the covenants and agreements contained in said Note or this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may, at its option, declare said Note and the remaining indebtedness owing thereunder due and payable, and any tax assessments, insurance premiums, or other advances made or paid by said Beneficiary and not repaid by the Grantor shall become an additional indebtedness hereunder and secured by this Deed of Trust. 11. Condemnation. If the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall be condemned and taken under the power of eminent domain, all damages and awards for the portion of the Mortgaged Property so taken shall be applied to the repayment of the Secured Indebtedness if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or otherwise shall be applied to the rebuilding, repair and restoration of the lands and/or improvements damaged by said taking. Any balance of such damages or awards remaining after application as above set forth shall be paid over to the Grantor. 12. Inspection. Beneficiary shall have the right, at all reasonable times, to inspect the Mortgaged Property. 13. Hazardous Substances. The Grantor warrants, covenants and represents that to the best of its knowledge, after reasonable inquiry and investigation, there does not exist in or under the Leased Premises any pollutant, toxic or hazardous waste or substance, or any other material the release or disposal of which is regulated by any law, regulation, ordinance or code related to pollution or environmental contamination, other than those used in the normal course of Grantor's business and disposed of properly and except as disclosed on Schedule 1 attached hereto, and, that no part of the Leased Premises was ever used for any industrial or manufacturing purpose or as a dump, sanitary landfill, or gasoline service station, and that there exists on the Leased Premises no storage tanks, electrical transformers or other equipment containing PCBs or material amounts of asbestos. The Grantor represents that it has received no summons, citations, directives, letters or other communications, written or oral, from any federal, state or local agency or department concerning the storing, releasing, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying or dumping or the presence of any pollutant, toxic or hazardous waste or substance on the Leased Premises. The Grantor covenants and agrees that it shall not, nor shall it permit others to, use the Leased Premises for the business of generating, transporting, storing, treating or disposing of any pollutant, toxic or hazardous waste or substance, other than those used in the normal course of Grantor's business and disposed of properly, nor shall it either take or fail to take any action which may result in a release of any hazardous 8 9 substance from or onto the Leased Premises. The Grantor further covenants and agrees that it shall comply, and maintain the Leased Premises in compliance, with any and all federal, state and local hazardous waste and other environmental laws, rules, regulations and orders. In addition to all rights of access granted the Beneficiary pursuant to this Indenture, during the term of the loan contemplated hereby, the Beneficiary, or any authorized agent, contractor or representative of the Beneficiary, is hereby irrevocably authorized to enter upon the Leased Premises at any time and from time to time for the purpose of performing inspections, taking soil borings or other borings, or conducting any other tests or procedures on, in or about the Leased Premises as the Beneficiary deems necessary or appropriate to determine whether any hazardous or toxic substances, including without limitation asbestos or PBS, are present on, under or about the Leased Premises. The Grantor agrees to indemnify and to hold the Beneficiary harmless from any and all claims, causes of action, damages, penalties, and costs (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, consultants' fees and related expenses) which may be asserted against, or incurred by, the Beneficiary resulting from or due to release of any hazardous substance or waste on the Leased Premises or arising out of any injury to human health or the environment by reason of the condition of or past activity upon the Leased Premises. The Grantor's duty to indemnify and hold harmless includes, but is not limited to, proceedings or actions commenced by any person (including, but not limited to, any federal, state, or local governmental agency or entity) before any court or administrative agency. The Grantor further agrees that pursuant to its duty to indemnify under this section, the Grantor shall indemnify the Beneficiary against all expenses incurred by the Beneficiary as they become due and not waiting for the ultimate outcome of the litigation or administrative proceeding. The Grantor's obligations to indemnify and hold the Beneficiary harmless hereunder shall survive repayment of the Secured Indebtedness and satisfaction or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust. 14. Forbearance; Substitution of Collateral; Partial Releases. It is understood and agreed that the Beneficiary may, at any time, without notice to any person, grant to the Grantor any indulgences of forbearance, grant any extension of time for payment of any indebtedness secured hereby, or allow any change or changes, substitution or substitutions, of or for any of the Property described in this Deed of Trust or any other collateral which may be held by Beneficiary. Beneficiary's action in so doing shall in no way affect the liability of the Grantor, any endorsers of the indebtedness secured hereby, or any other person liable for the payment of said indebtedness, nor shall it in any way affect or impair the lien of this Deed of Trust upon the remainder of the Leased Premises and upon other collateral which is not changed or substituted. It is also understood and agreed that the Beneficiary and the Trustee may, at any time, without notice to any person, release any portion of the Leased Premises described in this Deed of Trust or any other collateral which may be held as security for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness either with or without consideration for such release or releases. Such releases shall not in any manner affect the liability of the Grantor, all endorsers and all other persons who are or shall be liable for the payment of said indebtedness, nor shall said releases in any manner affect, disturb or impair the validity and priority of this Deed of Trust, for the full amount of the indebtedness remaining unpaid together with all interest and advances which shall become payable, upon the remainder of the Leased Premises and other collateral which is unreleased. It is distinctly understood and agreed by the Grantor and the Beneficiary that any release or releases may be made by the Beneficiary and the Trustee without the consent or approval of any person or persons whomsoever. 15. Prosecution or Defense of Actions Affecting Obligation or Lien. If Grantor fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Deed of Trust or if any action or proceeding is commenced which affects Beneficiary's interest in the Mortgaged Property or the validity of the Note secured hereby including, but not limited to, actions in eminent domain, code enforcement, insolvency or arrangements or 9 10 proceedings involving a bankrupt or a decedent's estate, or actions by parties claiming an interest senior and paramount to the lien of this Deed of Trust, or if it becomes necessary for Beneficiary to file an action to uphold or defend the lien of this Deed of Trust, then Beneficiary shall have the right to employ its own legal counsel to defend, pursue, compromise, negotiate, or prevent any such litigation and all sums expended by Beneficiary including reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs in connection with any such legal action shall become so much additional indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust. The failure of the Grantor to pay to Beneficiary all such sums expended immediately upon demand shall entitle the Beneficiary, at its option, to declare the entire indebtedness to be at once due and payable. 16. Foreclosure and Attorneys' Fees. In the case of default in any of the payments of principal or interest, according to the tenor and effect of the Note secured hereby, or of a breach or violation of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein, or incorporated herein, then the whole of said principal sum secured hereby, all interest thereon, and the equity participation amount, if any, set forth in the Note secured hereby, may at once or at any time thereafter, at the option of the Beneficiary, become due and payable. If foreclosure is performed by the Public Trustee, attorneys' fees of a reasonable amount for services in the supervision of said foreclosure proceedings together with all other costs of said foreclosure proceedings and as provided herein shall be added by the Public Trustee to the indebtedness secured hereby to be satisfied from the proceeds of the sale of said Mortgaged Property. If foreclosure is made through the courts, reasonable attorneys' fees shall be taxed by the court as a part of the costs of such foreclosure proceedings and such fees and costs shall be treated as a part of the indebtedness secured hereby to be satisfied from the proceeds of the sale of said Mortgaged Property. 17. Severability. In the event that any provision or clause of this Deed of Trust conflicts with applicable law, such conflicts shall not affect or invalidate other provisions of this Deed of Trust which can be given effect without the conflicting provision.
