collection agent as agent for Bank.
3.2 Payments by Obligor.
(a) Principal Payments. All principal amounts paid by
the obligor under the Pledged Mortgages shall be paid directly to the collection
agent, and the collection agent shall promptly remit all such amounts directly
to Bank, after first deducting the collection agent's reasonable and customary
costs of collection, as approved by Bank. So long as no Event of Default or
Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank will retain a
portion of such amounts received by Bank from the collection agent with respect
to a Pledged Mortgage (not to exceed the outstanding indebtedness under the
Note), and shall remit the balance of such amounts to Borrower. The amount
retained by Bank shall be calculated as follows:
Amount received by Bank from collection agent multiplied by the Advance
Rate for the applicable Pledged Mortgage equals the amounts retained by
Bank.
If an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Bank will have no obligation to remit any portion of such amounts to
Borrower. Any amounts paid by collection agent to Bank, and retained by Bank,
under this paragraph shall be applied against the outstanding indebtedness under
the Note, in the manner set forth in the Note.
(b) Interest Payments. So long as no Event of Default
or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all interest paid
by the obligor under the Pledged Mortgages (including any payments disbursed
from an interest reserve account or other pledged account) shall be remitted and
disbursed directly to Borrower. If an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, all such interest shall be paid directly
to Bank (or to the collection agent, who shall promptly remit all such amounts
directly to Bank), and Bank will have no obligation to remit any portion of such
amounts to Borrower. Any amounts so retained by Bank under this paragraph shall
be applied against the outstanding indebtedness under the Note, in the manner
set forth in the Note.
3.3 Release of Collateral. Provided no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Bank will release a Pledged Mortgage from the pledge
created hereby, upon receipt by Bank of the amount advanced by Bank under this
Agreement with respect to such Pledged Mortgage as shown on Bank's records. Upon
payment to Bank of the applicable release price set forth in the documents
related to the Pledged Mortgage and performance by the obligor of any other
conditions for release, and upon request of Borrower, Bank will execute and
deliver to Borrower (without recourse, representation or warranty) deeds of
partial release and reconveyance, releasing from the Pledged Mortgage and
reconveyance to "the person legally entitled thereto" portions of the property
encumbered thereby.
3.4 Return of Collateral at End of Commitment. If (i) the
Commitment shall have expired or been terminated and (ii) no Advances, interest
or other amounts evidenced by the Note or due under this Agreement shall be
outstanding and unpaid, Bank shall deliver or release all Collateral in its
possession to Borrower or as directed in writing by Borrower. The receipt by
Borrower of any Collateral released or delivered to Borrower pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be a complete and full acquittance for the
Collateral so returned, and Bank shall thereafter be discharged from any
liability or responsibility therefor.
3.5 No Duty to Protect Collateral. Bank shall have no duty to
Borrower or any other Person as to the collection or protection of Collateral
held hereunder or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of any rights
pertaining thereto, beyond the reasonable care and confidentiality thereof
during the time the Collateral is in the actual possession of Bank. Such care
and confidentiality as Bank gives to the safekeeping of its own property of like
kind shall constitute reasonable care and confidentiality of Collateral when in
Bank's actual possession; but Bank is not required to make presentment, demand
or protest, or give notice, and need not take action to preserve any rights
against prior parties, obligors, account debtors, or others, in connection with
any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held as Collateral or in connection
with Borrower's obligations. Notwithstanding any provision hereof or of any
other document to the contrary, the transmittal and delivery of any Pledged
Mortgages, Collateral Documents and other documents or instruments shall be at
the sole risk and expense of Borrower and Bank shall not be liable or obligated
in any respect in the event of the loss, damage, or destruction of any
Collateral Documents, Pledged Mortgages and other documents or instruments or
any delay in the transmission or delivery thereof.
3.6 Default Under Mortgage Loan. Borrower shall use best
efforts to cure or caused to be cured any default under any Eligible Mortgage
Loan in accordance with commercially reasonable standards. Borrower will
reasonably promptly take all legal action to cause any defaults to be cured
under any Eligible Mortgage Loan. Bank will reasonably cooperate with Borrower,
at Borrower's expense, in the enforcement of remedies by Borrower under the
Eligible Mortgage Loan.

Bank's reasonable opinion, have a material and adverse affect on the Collateral
or on the existence, perfection or priority of Bank's security interest therein.
Bank may make such payments notwithstanding the fact that Borrower is in default
under the terms of this Agreement. Such payments shall be added to the
outstanding principal balance of the Note and shall be due and payable on
demand. The authorization hereby granted shall be irrevocable, and no further

condition of Borrower, and will promptly notify Bank in writing of the
cancellation or reduction of any of its other lines of credit or agreements with
any other lender.

of the State of Arizona, or any other applicable law, in addition to all rights
provided for herein.

Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall
service all Pledged Mortgages in accordance with the terms of the documents
related thereto and in the exercise of reasonably prudent lending and servicing
practices. Borrower shall hold any interest reserve, tax, insurance, or other
impound accounts in respect of the Pledged Mortgages in trust, without
commingling them with other funds, and shall apply the same for the purposes for
which such funds were collected.

federally regulated institution is required to meet certain regulations

request, Borrower shall make available to Bank all information regarding such
appraisals, including, without limitation, identification of the appraisers,
copies of all appraisals, copies of all instruction letters regarding such
appraisals, and copies of all other applicable policies and procedures of
Borrower related to obtaining appraisals. In the event Bank shall ever
reasonably determine that appraisals obtained by Borrower are not in compliance

of competent jurisdiction. At Bank's option, it may enforce its rights under a
security agreement by private or public sale, a mortgage by judicial
foreclosure, and under a deed of trust either by exercise of power of sale or by
judicial foreclosure. The institution and maintenance of any remedy permitted
above shall not constitute a waiver of the right to submit any controversy or
claim to arbitration. The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, and
similar doctrines which would otherwise be applicable in an action brought by a
party shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding.

(d) Payment and performance of any and all other indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities of Assignor to Assignee of every kind and

entirely extinguished and thereafter reincurred.
All of the indebtedness and obligations secured hereby are hereinafter
collectively called the "Obligation."
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if Assignor shall fully pay and perform the Obligation
according to the terms thereof, then Assignee shall release its interest in the
Collateral.
1. Assignor represents and warrants that:
(a) Assignor is the true and lawful owner of the Collateral
and has full power, right and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement;
(b) The Collateral, as of the date hereof, is valid and in
good and current standing, not having been altered, amended, changed,
terminated or cancelled in any way by Assignor, and no breach or
default exists therein or thereunder;
(c) The Collateral represents a bona fide, valid and legally
enforceable obligation of the person or entity named therein in
accordance with its terms. No payments have been made, collected or
remitted under the Collateral in advance of the accrual thereof;
(d) No known defense, setoff, claim or counterclaim exists
against Assignor that could be asserted against Assignee, whether in
any proceeding to enforce Assignee's interest in the Collateral or
otherwise;
(e) Assignor has not conveyed, transferred, or assigned the
Collateral or any of its rights or interest therein and has not
executed any other document or instrument that might prevent or limit
Assignee from operating under the terms, conditions and provisions of
this Agreement; and
(f) Assignor will make no other assignment of the Collateral
or of any right or interest therein.
2. Upon the execution of this Agreement, Assignor shall endorse the
Collateral Note to Assignee and deliver it immediately to Assignee or Assignee's
agent. If the Collateral Note is held or to be held by a collection agent or
other third party, then, after the execution of this Agreement, the collection
agent or other third party shall hold the Collateral Note solely for the benefit
of and as agent for Assignor and Assignee; provided, however, that if an Event
of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
collection agent or other third party shall hold the Collateral Note solely for
the benefit of and as agent for Assignee. In addition, Assignor shall assign the
Collateral Deed of Trust to Assignee and Assignee may record such assignment.
Assignor hereby authorizes and directs each obligor under the Collateral, on and
after the date of this Agreement, (i) to remit directly to Assignee (or to a
collection agent designated by Assignee) all principal and other amounts (except
interest) arising out of the Collateral, and (ii) upon demand of Assignee after
an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to remit directly to Assignee (or to a collection agent designated
by Assignee) all interest payments arising out of the collateral. Assignor
hereby relieves each obligor under the Collateral from any liability to Assignor
by reason of the remittal of such proceeds directly to Assignee. Assignor agrees
that, within two (2) business days of the receipt of such demand, it will remit
to Assignee all such funds coming into its possession. If the Collateral Note is
to be held by a collection agent, that collection agent is hereby instructed to
remit promptly to Assignee all payments received by the collection agent, less
normal and customary servicing fees. Assignee may apply all proceeds received to
the payment of the Obligation, whether or not then due, in such order and manner
as Assignee in its sole discretion may determine, subject to the provisions of
the Loan Agreement.
3. Assignor does hereby make, constitute and appoint Assignee, and its
successors and assigns, Assignor's true and lawful attorney in fact, in
Assignor's name, place and stead, or otherwise, upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, as those terms are defined in the Loan
Agreement, and at any time while such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of
Default is continuing:
(a) To do all acts and to execute, acknowledge, obtain and
deliver any and all instruments, documents, items or things necessary,
proper or required as a term, condition or provision of the Collateral
or in order to exercise any rights of Assignor under the Collateral or
to receive and enforce any performance due Assignor under the
Collateral;
(b) To give any notices, instructions, or other
communications to any other parties to the Collateral or to any
person or entity in connection therewith;
(c) To demand and receive all performances due under or with
respect to the Collateral and to take all lawful ways and means for the
enforcement thereof and to compromise and settle any claim or cause of
action in Assignor arising from or related to the Collateral and give
acquittances and other sufficient discharges relating thereto; and
(d) To file any claim or to take any other action or
proceeding, either in its own name or in that of its nominee, or in the
name of Assignor or otherwise, to enforce performances due under or
related to the Collateral or to protect and preserve the right, title
and interest of Assignee hereunder.
The power of attorney given herein is a power coupled with an interest and shall
be irrevocable so long as any part of the Obligation remains unpaid or
unperformed. Assignee shall have no obligation to exercise any of the foregoing
rights and powers in any event.
4. No change, amendment or modification shall be made to the Collateral
or to the instructions of Assignor contained herein without the prior written
approval of Assignee, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
5. Assignor shall promptly notify Assignee after Assignor obtained
knowledge of any default or breach of or under the Collateral or of any failure
of performance or other condition that, after notice or lapse of time, or both,
could become a default or breach under the Collateral.
6. The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall
constitute and is hereby defined to be an "Event of Default":
(a) Any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, the Note or
any other document or instrument executed or delivered in connection
with the Obligation.
(b) Any levy or execution upon, or judicial seizure of, any
portion of the Collateral or any other collateral or security for the
Obligation.
(c) Any attachment or garnishment of, or the existence or
filing of any lien or encumbrance against, any portion of the
Collateral or any other collateral or security for the Obligation that
is not removed and released within fifteen (15) days after its
creation.
(d) The institution of any legal action or proceedings to
enforce any lien or encumbrance upon any portion of the Collateral or
any other collateral or security for the Obligation, that is not
dismissed within fifteen (15) days after its institution.
(e) The abandonment by Assignor of all or any part of the
Collateral.
(f) The loss, theft or destruction of, or any substantial
damage to, any portion of the Collateral or any other collateral or
security for the Obligation that is not adequately covered by
insurance.
7. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at any time while
such Event of Default is continuing, Assignee may do one or more of the
following:
(a) Declare the entire Obligation to be immediately due and
payable, and the same, with all costs and charges, shall be collectible
thereupon by action at law.
(b) To the extent that the rights, title and interests covered
hereby shall consist of personal property rights and interests,
exercise any or all of the remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such personal property covered
hereby. If Assignee should proceed to dispose of such personal property
in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, ten
(10) days' notice by Assignee to Assignor shall be deemed to be
commercially reasonable notice under any provision of the Uniform
Commercial Code requiring notice.
(c) If applicable, commence proceedings for foreclosure of
this Agreement in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of
realty mortgages.
8. In the event proceedings are commenced for foreclosure of this
Agreement in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of realty mortgages,
then at any time after the institution of such foreclosure proceedings, upon
application of Assignee, a receiver may be appointed by any court of competent
jurisdiction to take charge of all of Assignor's rights, title and interest
assigned hereunder; to collect payments with respect to, and enforce any or all
rights of security in connection with, the Collateral; and to apply the same to
protect and preserve such rights, title and interest, to the payment of its own
compensation and to the payment of Obligation.
9. In addition to any remedies provided herein for an Event of Default,
Assignee shall have all the rights and remedies afforded a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code and all other legal and equitable remedies allowed
under applicable law. No failure on the part of Assignee to exercise any of its
rights hereunder arising upon any Event of Default shall be construed to
prejudice its rights upon the occurrence of any other or subsequent Event of
Default. No delay on the part of Assignee in exercising any such rights shall be
construed to preclude it from the exercise thereof at any time while that Event
of Default is continuing. Assignee may enforce any one or more remedies or
rights hereunder successively or concurrently. By accepting payment or
performance of any of the Obligation after its due date, Assignee shall not
thereby waive the agreement contained herein that time is of the essence, nor
shall Assignee waive either its right to require prompt payment or performance
when due of the remainder of the Obligation or its right to consider the failure
to so pay or perform an Event of Default.
10. The proceeds of any sale or any other enforcement of Assignee's
security interest in all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by
Assignee:
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale
or enforcement, including reasonable compensation to Assignee's agents and
counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on
behalf of Assignee in connection therewith;
Second, to the payment of any other amounts due (other than
principal and interest) under the Note or this Agreement;
Third, to the payment of interest accrued and unpaid on the
Note;
Fourth, to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of
the Note; and
Finally, to the payment to Assignor or to its successors or
assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then
remaining from such proceeds.
If the proceeds of any such sale are insufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of such sale, as aforesaid, and the payment in full of the Note and all
other amounts due hereunder, Assignor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
11. Assignee, by accepting this Agreement, shall not be subject to any
obligation or liability under the Collateral, including, without limitation, any
duty to perform any of the covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements
thereof, but all such obligations and liabilities shall continue to rest upon
Assignor as though this Agreement had not been made.
12. In addition to all of its other rights hereunder, Assignee shall
have the right at any time to appear in and defend and be represented by counsel
of its own choice in any action or proceeding purporting to affect Assignor's
rights under the Collateral or Assignee's rights under this Agreement.
13. Assignor shall indemnify and hold Assignee harmless from any and
all damages and losses arising as a result of or related to the Collateral, this
Agreement or the exercise by Assignee of any of its rights under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any judgment, amounts paid in settlement, and all
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in defending
or settling any action, suit or proceeding in connection with the foregoing, but
excluding any and all damages and losses arising from Assignee's gross
negligence or willful malfeasance.
14. All sums advanced or paid by Assignee under the terms hereof, all
amounts paid, suffered or incurred by Assignee in exercising any authority
granted herein, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and all other amounts due
Assignee from Assignor in connection with this Agreement shall be added to the
Obligation, shall be secured by all deeds of trust and other lien and security
documents securing the Obligation, shall bear interest at the highest rate
payable on any of the Obligation until paid, and shall be due and payable by
Assignor to Assignee immediately without demand.
15. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor any
failure on the part of any obligor under the Collateral to comply with, honor,
and perform in accordance with the terms thereof shall affect the liability of
any party to pay and perform the Obligation.
16. The taking of this security by Assignee shall not effect the
release of any other collateral now or hereafter held by Assignee as security
for the Obligation, nor shall the taking of additional security for the
Obligation hereafter effect a release or termination of this instrument or any
terms, conditions or provisions hereof.
17. Assignor, upon request of Assignee, will execute and deliver such
additional documents, including but not limited to financing statements, and do
such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully implement the intent of
this Agreement and to perfect and preserve the rights and interests of Assignee
hereunder and the priority thereof.
18. Time is of the essence hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon
Assignor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
Assignee and its successors and assigns; this Agreement, however, is not
intended to confer any right or remedies upon any person other than the parties
hereto and their successors and assigns.
19. Assignor shall pay all costs and expenses, including without
limitation costs of Uniform Commercial Code searches, court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by Assignee in enforcing payment and performance of
the Obligation or in exercising the rights and remedies of Assignee hereunder.
All such costs and expenses shall be secured by this Agreement and by all deeds
of trust and other lien and security documents securing the Obligation. In the
event of any court proceedings, court costs and attorneys' fees shall be set by
the court and not by jury and shall be included in any judgment obtained by
Assignee.
20. No failure or delay on the part of Assignee in exercising any
right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power, or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies hereunder are
cumulative and may be exercised by Assignee either independently of or
concurrently with any other right, power, or remedy contained herein or in any
instrument executed in connection with the Obligation.
21. At such time as Assignor is entitled to the release by Assignee of
its interest in the Collateral, Assignee shall re-endorse the Collateral Note to
Assignor, without recourse, and shall reassign the Collateral Deed of Trust to
Assignor.
22. By executing this Agreement, Assignor acknowledges receipt of a
copy hereof. A carbon, photographic or other reproduced copy of this Agreement
and/or any financing statement relating hereto shall be sufficient for filing
and/or recording as a financing statement. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed according to the laws of the State of Arizona.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, these presents are executed as of the date
indicated above.
