Page 64 of 200

the principal and interest on the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note, prepayment
and late charges as provided in the Note, and all other sums secured by this

2.04 APPLICATION OF PAYMENT. Unless applicable law provides otherwise, all
payments received by Lender from Borrower under the Note or this Instrument
shall be applied by Lender as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion.
ARTICLE III - SECURITY AGREEMENT
3.01 UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Instrument is also
intended to be a security agreement between Borrower, as debtor, and Lender, as
secured party, pursuant to the Texas Business and Commerce Code 1.01 et seq.
("Texas UCC") for any of the items specified above as part of the Property
which, under applicable law, may be subject to a security interest pursuant to
the Texas UCC, and Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in all such
items. Borrower agrees that Lender may file this Instrument or a reproduction
thereof in the real estate records or other appropriate index as a financing
statement for any of the items specified above as part of the Property. Any
reproduction of this Instrument or of any other security agreement or financing
statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement. In addition, Borrower
agrees to execute and deliver to Lender, upon Lender's request, any financing
statement, as well as extensions, renewals, and amendments thereof, and
reproduction of this Instrument in such form as Lender may require to perfect a
security interest with respect to said items. Borrower shall pay all costs of
filing such financing statement and any extensions, renewals, amendments, and
releases thereof and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record
searches for financing statements Lender may reasonably require. Without the
prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld for any reason
whatsoever or no reason, as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute
discretion, Borrower shall not create or suffer to be created pursuant to the
Texas UCC any other security interest in said items, including replacements and
additions thereto. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as that term is
defined in Article VII below), including the covenants to pay when due all sums
secured by this Instrument, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party
under the Texas UCC and, at Lender's option, may also invoke the remedies
provided in Article VIII of this Instrument as to such items. In exercising any
remedies, Lender may proceed against the items of real property and any items of
personal property specified above as part of the Property separately or together
and in any order whatsoever, without in any way affecting the availability of
Lender's remedies under the Texas UCC or of the remedies provided in Article
VIII of this Instrument.
3.02 NOTICE OF CHANGES. Borrower shall give advance notice in writing to
Lender of any proposed change in Borrower's name, identity, or structure and
shall execute and deliver to Lender, prior to or concurrently with the
occurrence of any such change, all additional financing statements that Lender
may require to establish and maintain the validity and priority of Lender's
security interest with respect to any of the Property.
Page 65 of 200
3.03 FIXTURES. Some of the items of the Property are goods that are or are to
become fixtures related to the Land. Borrower and Lender intend that, as to
those goods, this Instrument shall be effective as a financing statement filed
as a fixture filing from the date of its filing for record in the real estate
records of the county in which the Property is situated. Information concerning
the security interest created by this Instrument may be obtained from Lender, as
secured party, at the address of Lender stated above. The mailing address of the
Borrower, as debtor, is as stated above.
ARTICLE IV - ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES
4.01 ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES. Borrower assigns to Lender and grants to Lender a
security interest in all of Borrower's rights, but not Borrower's obligations,
under existing and future leases, including subleases, and any and all
extensions, renewals, modifications, and replacements of such leases, upon any
part of the Property (the "Leases"). Borrower also assigns to Lender all
guaranties of tenant's performance under the Leases. Prior to the occurrence of
an Event of Default (as defined below), Borrower shall have the right, without
joinder of Lender, to enforce the Leases, unless Lender directs otherwise.
4.02 WARRANTIES CONCERNING LEASES AND RENTS. Borrower represents and warrants
that: (a) Borrower has good title to the Leases hereby assigned and authority to
assign them, and no other person or entity has any right, title or interest
therein; (b) all existing Leases are valid, unmodified and in full force and
effect, except as indicated herein, and no default exists thereunder; (c) unless
otherwise provided herein, no Rents (as hereafter defined) or other sums owing
under the Leases have been or will be assigned, mortgaged or pledged; (d) no
Rents have been or will be anticipated, waived, released, discounted, set off or
compromised; and (e) except as indicated in the Leases, Borrower has not
received any funds or deposits from any tenant that has not already been applied
to the payment of accrued Rents.
4.03 BORROWER'S COVENANTS OF PERFORMANCE. Borrower covenants to: (a) perform
all of its obligations under the Leases and give prompt written notice to Lender
of any failure to do so; (b) give immediate written notice to Lender of any
notice Borrower receives from any tenant or subtenant under any Leases
specifying any claimed default by any party under such Leases, excluding,
however, notice of defaults under residential Leases; (c) enforce the tenant's
obligations under the Leases; (d) defend, at Borrower's expense, any proceeding
pertaining to the Leases, including, if Lender so requests, any such proceeding
to which Lender is a party; and (e) neither create nor permit any encumbrance
upon Borrower's interest as landlord of the leases, except this Instrument and
any other encumbrances permitted by this Instrument.
Page 66 of 200
4.04 PRIOR APPROVAL FOR ACTIONS AFFECTING LEASES. Borrower shall not, without
the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld for any
reason whatsoever or no reason, as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute
discretion: (a) receive or collect rents under any of the Leases more than one
month in advance; (b) encumber or assign future Rents; (c) waive or release any
obligation of any tenant under the Leases; (d) cancel, terminate or modify any
of the Leases, cause, permit or accept any cancellation, termination or
surrender of any of the Leases, or commence any proceedings for dispossession of
any tenant under any of the Leases, except upon default by the tenant
thereunder; (e) renew or extend any of the Leases, except pursuant to terms in
existing Leases; (f) permit any assignment of the Leases; or (g) enter into any
Leases after the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section
4.04 to the contrary, Borrower may enter into leases covering the Property with
terms of one year or less.
4.05 ATTORNMENT OF TENANTS. All leases of the Property shall specifically
provide that: (a) such Leases are subordinate to this Instrument; (b) that the
tenant attorns to Lender, such attornment to be effective upon Lender's
acquisition of title to the Property; (c) that the tenant agrees to execute such
further evidences of attornment as Lender may from time to time request; (d)
that the attornment of the tenant shall not be terminated by foreclosure; and
(e) that Lender may, at Lender's option, accept or reject such attornments.
4.06 SETTLEMENT FOR TERMINATION. Borrower agrees that no settlement for
damages, for termination of any of the Leases under the Federal Bankruptcy Code,
or under any other federal, state, or local statute, shall be made without the
prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld for any reason
whatsoever or no reason, as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute
discretion, and any check in payment of such damages shall be made payable to
both Borrower and Lender. Borrower hereby assigns any such payment to Lender, to
be applied to the Indebtedness as Lender may elect, and Borrower agrees to
endorse any check for such payment to the order of Lender.
4.07 LENDER IN POSSESSION. Lender's acceptance of this assignment shall not,
prior to entry upon and taking possession of the Property by Lender, be deemed
to constitute Lender a "mortgagee in possession," shall not obligate Lender to
appear in or defend any proceeding relating to any of the Leases or to the
Property, take any action hereunder, expend any money, incur any expenses, or
perform any obligation or liability under the Leases, or assume any obligation
for any deposits delivered to Borrower by any tenant and not delivered to
Lender. Lender shall not be liable for any injury to damage to person or
property in or about the Property.
4.08 APPOINTMENT OF ATTORNEY. Borrower hereby appoints Lender its
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, empowering Lender to subordinate any
Leases to this Instrument, which shall only be effective during a period of any
uncured event of default.
4.09 INDEMNIFICATION; HOLD HARMLESS. Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds
Lender harmless from all liability, damage, or expense incurred by Lender from
any claims under the Leases, including without limitation any claims by Borrower
with respect to Rents paid directly to Lender after an event of Default and
claims by tenants for security deposits or for rental payments made more than
one (1) month in advance and not delivered to Lender. All amounts indemnified
against hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees, if paid by Lender,
shall bear interest at the maximum lawful rate, shall be payable by Borrower
immediately without demand, and shall be secured by this Instrument.
Page 67 of 200
4.10 RECORDS. Upon the request by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender
true and correct legible copies of all Leases and copies of all records relating
thereto.
4.11 MERGER. There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates, created by the
Leases, with the fee estate of the Land without the prior written consent of
Lender, which consent may be withheld for any reason whatsoever or no reason, as
Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.
4.12 RIGHT TO RELY. Borrower authorizes and directs the tenants under the
Leases to pay rents to Lender upon written demand by Lender, provided that
Borrower is in default after the expiration of any applicable cure period,
without further consent of Borrower and regardless of whether Lender has taken
possession of any other portion of the Property, and tenants may rely upon any
written statement delivered by Lender to the tenants. Any such payment to Lender
shall constitute payment to Borrower under the Leases, and Borrower appoints
Lender as Borrower's lawful attorney-in-fact for giving, and is hereby empowered
to give, acquittance to any tenants for such payments to Lender after an event
of Default.
ARTICLE V - ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS
5.01 ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. As part of the consideration for the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Note, and for other valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which Borrower acknowledges, Borrower hereby
absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all rents,
insurance, income, receipts, and profits from the Property, and all security
deposits and other security therefore (the "Rents"), including those now due, or
to become due by virtue of any Lease or other agreement for the occupancy or use
of all or any part of the Property, regardless of to whom the Rents are payable.
Borrower authorizes Lender or Lender's agents to collect the rents and directs
each tenant on the Property to pay such Rents to Lender or Lender's agents;
provided, however, that prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default (as
defined below), Borrower shall collect and receive all Rents as trustee for the
benefit of Lender and Borrower, to apply the Rents so collected to the sums
secured by this Instrument in the order provided in this Instrument with the
balance, so long as no such Event of Default has occurred, to the account of
Borrower. Borrower and Lender intend that this Assignment of Rents constitutes
an absolute and present assignment and not an assignment for additional security
only. Borrower and Lender intend that Lender shall have absolute right, power,
and authority to collect the Rents.
5.02 EVENT OF DEFAULT. Subject to any notice and cure rights expressly granted
to Borrower in this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Documents, if any, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering
upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Property in person, by agent
or by a court-appointed receiver, Lender shall immediately be entitled to
possession of all the rents specified in this Article V as the same become due
and payable, including without limitation Rents then due and unpaid, and all
such Rents shall immediately upon delivery of such notice be held by Borrower as
trustee for the benefit of Lender only; provided, however, that the written
notice by Lender to Borrower of the breach by Borrower shall contain a statement
that Lender exercises its rights to such Rents. Borrower agrees that commencing
upon delivery of such written notice of an Event of Default by Lender to
Borrower, each tenant of the Property shall make such Rents payable to and pay
such Rents to Lender or Lender's agents on Lender's written demand to each
tenant therefore, delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or delivering
such demand to each rental unit, without any liability on the part of any tenant
to inquire further as to the existence of an Event of Default.
Page 68 of 200
5.03 BORROWER'S COVENANTS. Borrower covenants that Borrower has not executed
any prior assignment of the rents or any portion thereof, that Borrower has not
performed, and will not perform, any acts and has not executed, and will not
execute, any instrument which would prevent Lender from exercising its rights
under this Article V and that at the time of execution of this Instrument there
has been anticipation or prepayment of any Rents more than thirty (30) days
prior to the due dates of such rents. Borrower covenants that Borrower will not
hereafter collect or accept payment of any Rents more than thirty (30) days
prior to the due dates of such Rents without prior written consent of Lender,
which consent may be withheld for any reason whatsoever or no reason, as Lender
may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Borrower further covenants
that Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender such further assignments of
rents as Lender may from time to time request.
5.04 APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY. After any applicable
notice and opportunity to cure expressly granted Borrower pursuant to any Loan
Documents, if any, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may in
person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy of
lender's security, enter upon and take full control of the Property in order to
perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance
thereof, including without limitation the execution, cancellation or
modification of Leases, collection of Rents, the making of repairs to the
Property, and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the
management or maintenance of Property, all on such terms as are deemed best to
protect the security of this Instrument. In the event Lender elects to seek the
appointment of a receiver for the Property upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Borrower consents to the appointment of such receiver. Lender or the
receiver shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for managing the
Property.
5.05 APPLICATION OF RENTS. All Rents collected subsequent to the occurrence of
an Event of Default shall be applied first to the costs, if any, of taking
control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, receiver's fees, premiums on
receiver's bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance
policies, taxes assessments, and other charges on the Property, and the costs of
discharging any obligation or liability of Borrower as landlord of the Property,
and then to the sums secured by this Instrument. Lender or the receiver shall
have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of
the Property and shall be liable to account only for those Rents actually
received. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower for anyone claiming under or
through Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of
anything done or left undone by Lender under this Article V.
Page 69 of 200
5.06 INSUFFICIENT RENTS. If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs, if
any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the Rents,
any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become an indebtedness of
Borrower to Lender secured by this Instrument. Unless Lender and Borrower agree
in writing to other terms of payment, such amount shall be payable upon notice
from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from
the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Note, unless payment of such
interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such
amounts shall bear interest at the highest non-usurious rate which may collected
from Borrower under applicable law.
5.07 NO WAIVER; TERM. Any entering upon and taking and maintaining of control
of the Property by Lender or the receiver and any application of Rents as
provided herein shall not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any
other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided herein. This
assignment of the Rents shall terminate at such time as this Instrument ceases
to secure the Indebtedness held by Lender.
ARTICLE VI - BORROWER'S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES,
COVENANTS, AND AGREEMENTS
Borrower covenants, warrants, and represents to and agrees with Lender as
of the date of execution and continuing until this Instrument is released as
follows:
6.01 PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. Borrower shall promptly make all payments on the
Indebtedness when due and shall punctually and properly perform all of
Borrower's covenants, obligations and liabilities under this Instrument and the
other Loan Documents.
6.02 TITLE TO PROPERTY AND LIEN OF THIS INSTRUMENT. Borrower has good and
indefeasible title to the Land and to the Improvements, and good and marketable
title to the Personal Property, free and clear of any liens, charges,
encumbrances, security interest, and adverse claims whatsoever, except as
otherwise provided herein. If the interest of Lender in the Property or any part
thereof shall be endangered or shall be attached, directly or indirectly,
Borrower authorizes Lender, at Borrower's expense, to take all necessary and
proper steps for the defense of such interest, including the employment of
attorneys, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or
discharge of claims made against such interest.
6.03 EXISTENCE OF BORROWER. Borrower shall preserve and keep in full force and
effect its existence, rights, franchises, and trade names. Borrower shall
promptly pay any and all taxes to preserve its existence in Nevada, Texas, and
New Mexico, and shall comply with all of the foregoing state requirements to
maintain its authority to transact business in Nevada, Texas, and New Mexico.
Page 70 of 200
6.04 TITLE INSURANCE. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and
maintain mortgagee title insurance (in the form of a policy as Lender may
require) in a form acceptable to Lender in an amount equal to the amount of the
Note.
6.05 HAZARD INSURANCE.
(a) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and maintain
insurance upon and relating to all insurable Property by all-risk insurance
policies and, if requested by Lender, shall include perils of collapse, flood,
as well as other insurance coverages, in amounts equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the replacement cost of the Improvements during the construction
thereof and at least one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost of the
Improvements not under construction, or in such additional amounts as Lender may
reasonably require, with loss made payable to Lender and with a standard form
mortgage clause. Borrower shall deliver the policies of insurance to Lender
promptly as issued; and, if Borrower fails to do so, and such failure continues
beyond any applicable cure period, Lender, at its option, may procure such
insurance at Borrower's expense. Lender shall have the right to hold the
policies, and Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender all renewal notices and
all receipts of paid premiums. All renewal and substitute policies of insurance
shall be delivered at the office of Lender, premiums paid, at least ten (10)
days before termination of policies previously delivered to Lender.
(b) In the event of loss, Borrower shall give immediate written notice
to the Insurance carrier and to Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers
Lender as attorney-in-fact for Borrower 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 there from Lender's expenses incurred in the collection
of such proceeds; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6.05
shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action under this
Instrument. Borrower further authorizes Lender, at Lender's option, (i) to hold
the balance of such proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of
reconstruction or repair of the Property, or (ii) to apply the balance of such
proceeds to the payment of the sums secured by this Instrument, whether or not
then due, in the order of application set forth herein.
(c) If the insurance proceeds are held by Lender to reimburse Borrower
for the cost of restoration and repair of the Property, the Property shall be
restored to the equivalent of its original condition or such other condition as
Lender may approve in writing. Lender may, at Lender's option, condition
disbursement of any proceeds on Lender's approval of such plans and
specifications of an architect satisfactory to Lender, contractor's cost
estimates, architect's certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of
mechanics and materialman and such other evidence of costs, percentage
completion of construction, application of payments and satisfaction of liens as
Lender may require. If the insurance proceeds are applied to the payment of sums
secured by this instrument, any such application of proceeds to principal shall
not extend or postpone the due date of the installments referred to in Sections
2.03 and 6.07 or change the amounts of such installments. If the Property is
sold pursuant to Section 8.03 or if Lender acquires title to the Property,
Lender shall have all rights, title, and interest of Borrower in and to any
insurance policies and unearned premiums thereon and in and to the proceeds
resulting from any damage to the Property prior to such sale or acquisition.
Page 71 of 200
(d) In case of loss, Lender, as it determines in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall be entitled to receive and retain the proceeds of the
insurance policies, applying the same to payment of the Indebtedness in such
order and manner as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect. If
any loss shall occur at any time when an Event of Default exists, Lender shall
be entitled to the benefit of all insurance held by or for any Borrower, to the
same extent as if it had been made payable to Lender, and upon foreclosure under
this Instrument. Lender shall become the owner of all insurance policies.
6.06 TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. Borrower shall pay all taxes, levies, charges and
assessments against or affecting the Property including, but not limited, to
assessments on appurtenant water stock, imposed by any public or quasi-public
authority or utility company which are (or if not paid, may become) a lien on
all or part of the Property or any interest in it, or which may cause any
decrease in the value of the Property or any part of it, as the same become due
and payable, and, upon request by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender such
evidence of the payment thereof as Lender may require. If Borrower fails to do
so, Lender may pay them, together with all costs and penalties thereon, at
Borrower's expense; provided however, that Borrower may in good faith, in lieu
of paying such taxes and assessments as they become due and payable, by
appropriate proceedings, contest their validity. Pending such contest, Borrower
shall not be deemed in default under this Instrument because of such nonpayment
if: (a) prior to delinquency of the asserted tax or assessment, Borrower
furnishes Lender an indemnity bond secured by a deposit in cash or other
security acceptable to Lender, or with a surety acceptable to Lender, in the
amount of the tax or assessment being contested by Borrower plus a reasonable
additional sum to pay all costs, interest, and penalties that may be imposed or
incurred in connection therewith, conditioned that such tax or assessment, with
interest, cost and penalties, be paid as herein stipulated; and (b) Borrower
promptly pays an amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due,
with all costs, penalties and interest thereon, before the judgment becomes
final. In any event, the tax, assessment, penalties, interest, and costs shall
be paid prior to the date on which any writ or order is issued under which the
Property or any part of the Property may be sold in satisfaction thereof.
6.07 CONDEMNATION.
(a) Borrower assigns to Lender all judgments, decrees, and awards for
injury or damage, direct or consequential, to the Property, and all awards

condemnation proceeds to the Indebtedness in such manner as Lender may elect in
its sole and absolute discretion. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any
action or proceeding (or threatened action or proceeding) relating to any
condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect, of all or any part of
the Property. Borrower shall, unless otherwise directed by Lender in writing,

diligence to its final disposition and shall cause any awards or settlements to
be paid over to Lender for disposition pursuant to the terms of this Instrument.
Borrower authorizes Lender, at Lender's option, as attorney-in-fact for
Borrower, to commence, appear in, and prosecute, in Lender's or Borrower's name,
any action or proceeding relating to any proceeding relating to any condemnation
or other taking of the Property, whether direct or indirect, and to settle or
compromise any claim in connection with such condemnation or other taking. The
proceeds of any award, payment, or claim for damages, direct or consequential,
in connection with any condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect,
of the Property, or part thereof, or for conveyances, in lieu of condemnation,
are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. Lender shall be entitled to
participate in, control, and be represented by attorneys of Lender's own choice
in any such action. Borrower shall deliver to Lender such Instruments as may be
requested by it from time to time to permit such participation.
Page 72 of 200
(b) Borrower authorizes Lender to apply such awards, payments,
proceeds, or damages, after the deduction of Lender's expenses incurred in the
collection of such amounts, at Lender's option, to restoration or repair of the
Property, or to payment of the sums secured by this Instrument, whether or not
then due, in the order of application set forth in Section 2.04 and the balance,
if any, to Borrower. Unless Borrower and Lender otherwise agree in writing, any

of the installments referred to in Section 2.03 and 6.07 or change the amount of
such installments. Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of
assignment of any awards, proceeds, damages, or claims arising in connection
with such condemnation or taking as Lender may require.
(c) In the event Lender, as the result of any such judgment, decree,
or award, believes that the payment or performance of any obligation secured by
this Instrument is impaired, Lender may, upon Borrower's failure to provide
adequate assurances to Lender as Lender determines in its sole and absolute
discretion, and within thirty (30) days of Borrower's receipt of written notice

all such taxes; provided that, if it is unlawful for Borrower to pay such taxes,
Borrower shall prepay the Note in full without penalty within thirty (30) days
after demand therefore by Lender.

Property in good operating order, repair, and condition and shall not commit or
permit any waste thereof. Borrower shall make promptly all repairs, renewals,
and replacements necessary to such end. Borrower shall discharge all claims from
labor performed and material furnished thereof, and shall not suffer any lien of
mechanics or materialmen to attach to any part of the Property. Borrower shall
have the right to contest in good faith the validity of any such mechanic's or
materialman's lien, provided Borrower shall first furnish Lender a bond or other
Page 73 of 200
security satisfactory to Lender in such amount as Lender shall reasonably
require, but not more than one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of the
claim, and provided further that Borrower shall thereafter diligently proceed to
cause such lien to be removed and discharged. If Borrower shall fail to
discharge any such lien, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of
Lender, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the lien, either by
paying the amount claimed to be due, or by procuring the discharge of such lien

financial statements shall be certified as true and correct by the party
submitting such. Borrower shall furnish, together with the foregoing financial

if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be unenforceable, any such Subordinate Instrument shall contain express
covenants to the effect that: (a) the Subordinate Instrument is unconditionally
subordinate to this Instrument; (b) if any action (whether judicial or pursuant
to a power of sale) shall be instituted to foreclose or otherwise enforce the
Subordinate Instrument, no tenant of any of the leases shall be named as party
defendants and no action shall be taken that would terminate any occupancy or
tenancy without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be
withheld for any reason whatsoever as Lender may determine in its sole and
absolute discretion; (c) rents, if collected by or for the holder of the
Subordinate Instrument, shall be applied first to the payment of the
Indebtedness then due and expenses incurred in the ownership, operation, and
maintenance of the Property in such order as Lender may determine, prior to

any installment on the Note or any portion of the Indebtedness, and Lender
elects not to accelerate the unpaid balance of the Note or Indebtedness, Lender
shall have the option to proceed with foreclosure in satisfaction of such unpaid
installment or other amount either through judicial proceedings or by directing
Trustee to proceed as if under a full foreclosure, conducting the sale as herein
provided without declaring the entire Indebtedness due, it is agreed that such
sale, if so made, shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the
Indebtedness, but as to such unmatured part this Instrument shall remain in full

act or thing having been duly done by Lender or by Trustee hereunder, shall be
taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that the
statements or recitals state facts and are without further question to be so

hereof, and (b) the purchaser may disaffirm any easement granted, subdivision

8.12 FORBEARANCE BY LENDER NOT A WAIVER.Any forbearance by Lender in
exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable
law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy.
The acceptance by Lender of payment of any sum secured by this Instrument after
the due date of such payment shall not have a waiver of Lender's right to either
require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a
default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of Insurance, of the
payment of taxes or other liens or charges by Lender shall not be a waiver of
Lender's right to accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness, nor shall
Lender's receipts of any awards, proceeds or damages under Section 6.05 or 6.08
operate to cure or to waive Borrower's default in payment of sums secured by
this Instrument.
8.13 WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. Notwithstanding the existence of any other
security interests in the Property held by Lender or by any other party, Lender
shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the
Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the
remedies provided in this Article VIII. Borrower, any party who consents to this
Instrument, and any party who now or hereafter acquires a security Interest in
the Property and who has actual or constructive notice of this Instrument and
Lender's rights and interests under this Instrument, hereby waive any and all
right to require the marshalling of assets in connection with exercise of any of
the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided by this Instrument.

8.14 NO LIABILITY OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or
accountable under any circumstances whatsoever (including Trustee's negligence),
except for Trustee's willful misconduct. The Trustee shall have the right to
rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any
action taken or proposed to be taken by him hereunder, believed by him in good
faith to be genuine. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied
as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were
received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except
to the extent required by law) and Trustee shall be under no liability for
interest on any moneys received by him hereunder. Grantor hereby ratifies and
confirms any and all acts which the herein named Trustee or his successor or
successors, substitute or substitutes, in this trust shall do lawfully by virtue
hereof. Grantor will reimburse Trustee for, and save him harmless against, any
and all liability and expenses that may be incurred by him in the performance of
his duties. The foregoing indemnity shall not terminate upon discharge of the
secured indebtedness or foreclosure or release or other termination of this Deed
of Trust.
