More specifically, the parties agree that Assignor has the first right to obtain collection of all monies due and owing under the Astraea Secured Note against the properties covered by the Deed of Trust or otherwise, before the collateral set forth in the Deed of Trust (or proceeds therefrom) is applied to the Note being assigned hereunder.
