Article 4
GRANTORS AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
4.1 Payment of Note. Grantor will pay all principal, interest, and other sums payable under the Note, on the date when such payments are due, without notice or demand.
11
4.2 Performance of Other Obligations. Grantor will promptly and strictly perform and comply with all other covenants, conditions, and prohibitions required of Grantor by the terms of the Loan Documents.
4.3 Other Encumbrances. Grantor will promptly and strictly perform and comply with all covenants, conditions, and prohibitions required of Grantor in connection with any other encumbrance affecting the Property, the Chattels, or the Intangible Personalty, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, regardless of whether such other encumbrance is superior or subordinate to the lien hereof.
4.4 Payment of Taxes.
(a) Property Taxes. Unless Grantor is depositing money into reserves pursuant to Section 4.4(b), Grantor will (i) pay, before delinquency, all taxes and assessments, general or special, which may be levied or imposed at any time against Grantors interest and estate in the Property, the Chattels, or the Intangible Personalty, and (ii) within ten days after each payment of any such tax or assessment, Grantor will deliver to Beneficiary, without notice or demand, an official receipt for such payment. At Beneficiarys option, Beneficiary may retain the services of a firm to monitor the payment of all taxes and assessments relating to the Property, the cost of which shall be borne by Grantor.
(b) Deposit for Taxes. On or before the date hereof, Grantor shall deposit with Beneficiary an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount which Beneficiary estimates will be required to make the next annual payment of taxes, assessments, and similar governmental charges referred to in this Section (collectively, the Tax Reserves), multiplied by the number of whole or partial months that have elapsed since the date one month prior to the most recent due date for such taxes, assessments and similar governmental charges. Thereafter, with each monthly payment under the Note, Grantor shall deposit with Beneficiary an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount which Beneficiary estimates will be required to pay the next annual payment of taxes, assessments, and similar governmental charges referred to in this Section. The purpose of these provisions is to provide Beneficiary with sufficient funds on hand to pay all such taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges thirty (30) days before the date on which they become past due. If the Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, determines that the funds reserved hereunder are, or will be, insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay such additional sums as Beneficiary shall determine necessary and shall pay any increased monthly charges requested by Beneficiary. Provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, Beneficiary will apply the amounts so deposited to the payment of such taxes, assessments, and other charges when due, but in no event will Beneficiary be liable for any interest on any amount so deposited, and any amount so deposited may be held and commingled with Beneficiarys own funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.4(b), the initial Grantor named herein shall only be required to deposit Tax Reserves with Beneficiary following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
(c) Intangible Taxes. If by reason of any statutory or constitutional amendment or judicial decision adopted or rendered after the date hereof, any tax, assessment, or similar charge is imposed against the Note, against Beneficiary, or against any interest of Beneficiary in any real or personal property encumbered hereby, Grantor will pay such tax,
12
assessment, or other charge before delinquency and will indemnify Beneficiary against all loss, expense, or diminution of income in connection therewith. In the event Grantor is unable to do so, either for economic reasons or because the legal provisions or decisions creating such tax, assessment or charge forbid Grantor from doing so, then the Note will, at Beneficiarys option, become due and payable in full upon thirty (30) days notice to Grantor.
(d) Right to Contest. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, Grantor will not be deemed to be in default solely by reason of Grantors failure to pay any tax, assessment or similar governmental charge so long as, in Beneficiarys judgment, each of the following conditions is satisfied:
(i) Grantor is engaged in and diligently pursuing in good faith administrative or judicial proceedings appropriate to contest the validity or amount of such tax, assessment, or charge; and
(ii) Grantors payment of such tax, assessment, or charge would necessarily and materially prejudice Grantors prospects for success in such proceedings; and
(iii) Nonpayment of such tax, assessment, or charge will not result in the loss or forfeiture of any property encumbered hereby or any interest of Beneficiary therein; and
(iv) Grantor deposits with Beneficiary, as security for such payment which may ultimately be required, a sum equal to the amount of the disputed tax, assessment or charge plus the interest, penalties, advertising charges, and other costs which Beneficiary estimates are likely to become payable if Grantors contest is unsuccessful.
If Beneficiary determines that any one or more of such conditions is not satisfied or is no longer satisfied, Grantor will pay the tax, assessment, or charge in question, together with any interest and penalties thereon, within fifteen (15) days after Beneficiary gives notice of such determination.
4.5 Maintenance of Insurance.
(a) Coverages Required. Grantor shall maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations satisfactory to Beneficiary, all insurance required under the terms of the Insurance Agreement, and shall comply with each and every covenant and agreement contained in the Insurance Agreement. In addition, unless otherwise approved by Beneficiary, Grantor shall maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations satisfactory to Beneficiary, the same environmental insurance coverages, with Beneficiary named as an additional insured, as are in effect as of the date of this Deed of Trust.
WARNING
Unless you provide us with evidence of insurance coverage as required by our contract or loan agreement, we may purchase
13
insurance at your expense to protect our interest, following written notice to you. This insurance may, but need not, also protect your interest. If the collateral becomes damaged, the coverage we purchase may not pay any claim you make or any claim made against you. You may later cancel this coverage by providing evidence that you have obtained property coverage elsewhere.
You are responsible for the cost of any insurance purchased by us. The cost of this insurance may be added to your contract or loan balance. If the cost is added to your contract or loan balance, the interest rate on the underlying contract or loan will apply to this added amount. The effective date of coverage may be the date your coverage lapsed or the date you failed to provide proof of coverage.
The coverage we purchase may be considerably more expensive than insurance you can obtain on your own and may not satisfy the need for property damage coverage or any mandatory liability insurance imposed by applicable law.
(b) Renewal Policies. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of each insurance policy required pursuant to the Insurance Agreement, Grantor will deliver to Beneficiary an appropriate renewal policy (or a certified copy thereof), together with evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary that the applicable premium has been prepaid.
(c) Deposit for Premiums. On or before the date hereof, Grantor shall deposit with Beneficiary an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount which Beneficiary estimates will be required to make the next annual payments of the premiums for the policies of insurance referred to in this Section (the Insurance Reserves), multiplied by the number of whole and partial months which have elapsed since the date one month prior to the most recent policy anniversary date for each such policy. Thereafter, with each monthly payment under the Note, Grantor will deposit an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount which Beneficiary estimates will be required to pay the next required annual premium for each insurance policy referred to in this Section. The purpose of these provisions is to provide Beneficiary with sufficient funds on hand to pay all such premiums thirty (30) days before the date on which they become past due. If Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, determines that the funds reserved hereunder are, or will be, insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay such additional sums as Beneficiary shall determine necessary and shall pay any increased monthly charges requested by Beneficiary. Provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, Beneficiary will apply the amounts so deposited to the payment of such insurance premiums when due, but in no event will Beneficiary be liable for any interest on any amounts so deposited, and the money so received may be held and commingled with Beneficiarys own funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.5(c), the initial Grantor named herein shall only be required to deposit Insurance Reserves with Beneficiary following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
14
(d) Application of Hazard Insurance Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Beneficiary of any damage or casualty to all or any portion of the Property or Chattels. Beneficiary may participate in all negotiations and appear and participate in all judicial arbitration proceedings concerning any insurance proceeds which may be payable as a result of such casualty or damage, and may, in Beneficiarys sole discretion, compromise or settle, in the name of Beneficiary, Grantor, or both any claim for any such insurance proceeds. Any such insurance proceeds shall be paid to Beneficiary and shall be applied first to reimburse Beneficiary for all costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the collection of such insurance proceeds. The balance of any insurance proceeds received by Beneficiary with respect to an insured casualty may, in Beneficiarys sole discretion, either (i) be retained and applied by Beneficiary toward payment of the Secured Obligations, or (ii) be paid over, in whole or in part and subject to such conditions as Beneficiary may impose, to Grantor to pay for repairs or replacements necessitated by the casualty; provided, however, that if all of the Secured Obligations have been performed or are discharged by the application of less than all of such insurance proceeds, then any remaining proceeds will be paid over to Grantor. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if (A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist hereunder, and (B) the proceeds received by Beneficiary (together with any other funds delivered by Grantor to Beneficiary for such purpose) shall be sufficient, in Beneficiarys reasonable judgment, to pay for any restoration necessitated by the casualty, and (C) the cost of such restoration shall not exceed $100,000.00, and (D) such restoration can be completed, in Beneficiarys judgment, at least ninety (90) days prior to the maturity date of the Note, then Beneficiary shall apply such proceeds as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. Beneficiary will have no obligation to see to the proper application of any insurance proceeds paid over to Grantor, nor will any such proceeds received by Beneficiary bear interest or be subject to any other charge for the benefit of Grantor. Beneficiary may, prior to the application of insurance proceeds, commingle them with Beneficiarys own funds and otherwise act with regard to such proceeds as Beneficiary may determine in Beneficiarys sole discretion.
(e) Successors Rights. Any person who acquires title to the Property or the Chattels upon foreclosure hereunder will succeed to all of Grantors rights under all policies of insurance maintained pursuant to this Section.
4.6 Maintenance and Repair of Property and Chattels. Grantor will at all times maintain the Property and the Chattels in good condition and repair, will diligently prosecute the completion of any building or other improvement which is at any time in the process of construction on the Property, and will promptly repair, restore, replace, or rebuild any part of the Property or the Chattels which may be affected by any casualty or any public or private taking or injury to the Property or the Chattels. All costs and expenses arising out of the foregoing shall be paid by Grantor whether or not the proceeds of any insurance or eminent domain shall be sufficient therefor. Grantor will comply with all statutes, ordinances, and other governmental or quasi-governmental requirements and private covenants relating to the ownership, construction, use, or operation of the Property, including but not limited to any environmental or ecological requirements; provided, that so long as Grantor is not otherwise in default hereunder, Grantor may, upon providing Beneficiary with security reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, proceed diligently and in good faith to contest the validity or applicability of any such statute, ordinance, or requirement. Beneficiary and any person authorized by Beneficiary may enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times, and may inspect the Chattels, wherever located, at all reasonable times.
15
4.7 Leases. Grantor shall timely pay and perform each of its obligations under or in connection with the Leases, and shall otherwise pay such sums and take such action as shall be necessary or required in order to maintain each of the Leases in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Grantor shall make reasonable efforts to promptly furnish to Beneficiary copies of any notices given to Grantor by the lessee under any Lease, alleging the default by Grantor in the timely payment or performance of its obligations under such Lease and any subsequent communication related thereto. Grantor shall also promptly furnish to Beneficiary copies of any notices given to Grantor by the lessee under any Lease, extending the term of any Lease, requiring or demanding the expenditure of any sum by Grantor (or demanding the taking of any action by Grantor), or relating to any other material obligation of Grantor under such Lease and any subsequent communication related thereto. Grantor agrees that Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may advance any sum or take any action which Beneficiary believes is necessary or required to maintain the Leases in full force and effect, and all such sums advanced by Beneficiary, together with all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with action taken by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section, shall be due and payable by Grantor to Beneficiary upon demand, shall bear interest until paid at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
4.8 Eminent Domain; Private Damage. If all or any part of the Property is taken or damaged by eminent domain or any other public or private action, Grantor will notify Beneficiary promptly of the time and place of all meetings, hearings, trials, and other proceedings relating to such action. Beneficiary may participate in all negotiations and appear and participate in all judicial or arbitration proceedings concerning any award or payment which may be due as a result of such taking or damage, and may, in Beneficiarys reasonable discretion, compromise or settle, in the names of both Grantor and Beneficiary, any claim for any such award or payment. Any such award or payment is to be paid to Beneficiary and will be applied first to reimburse Beneficiary for all costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the ascertainment and collection of such award or payment. The balance, if any, of such award or payment may, in Beneficiarys sole discretion, either (a) be retained by Beneficiary and applied toward the Secured Obligations, or (b) be paid over, in whole or in part and subject to such conditions as Beneficiary may impose, to Grantor for the purpose of restoring, repairing, or rebuilding any part of the Property affected by the taking or damage. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, and (ii) the proceeds received by Beneficiary (together with any other funds delivered by Grantor to Beneficiary for such purpose) shall be sufficient, in Beneficiarys reasonable judgment, to pay for any restoration necessitated by the taking or damage, and (iii) the cost of such restoration shall not exceed $100,000.00, and (iv) such restoration can be completed, in Beneficiarys judgment, at least ninety (90) days prior to the maturity date of the Note, and (v) the remaining Property shall constitute, in Beneficiarys sole judgment, adequate security for the Secured Obligations, then Beneficiary shall apply such proceeds as provided in clause (b) of the preceding sentence. Grantors duty to pay the Note in accordance with its terms and to perform the other Secured Obligations will not be suspended by the pendency or discharged by the conclusion of any proceedings for the collection of any such award or payment, and any reduction in the Secured Obligations resulting from Beneficiarys
16
application of any such award or payment will take effect only when Beneficiary receives such award or payment. If this Deed of Trust has been foreclosed prior to Beneficiarys receipt of such award or payment, Beneficiary may nonetheless retain such award or payment to the extent required to reimburse Beneficiary for all costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred in connection therewith, and to discharge any deficiency remaining with respect to the Secured Obligations.
4.9 Mechanics Liens. Grantor will keep the Property free and clear of all liens and claims of liens by contractors, subcontractors, mechanics, laborers, materialmen, and other such persons, and will cause any recorded statement of any such lien to be released of record within thirty (30) days after the recording thereof or such earlier date as may be necessary to stop a foreclosure thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, Grantor will not be deemed to be in default under this Section if (i) the aggregate amount of any asserted liens does not exceed $100,000.00, or (ii) to the extent such liens exceed $100,000.00, Grantor provides Beneficiary with such security as Beneficiary may require to protect Beneficiary against all loss, damage and expense which Beneficiary may incur as a result of such liens in excess of $100,000.00, which security may consist of Grantor causing such liens in excess of $100,000.00 to be bonded over or insured over. Any initiation of proceedings to foreclose on any such lien, however, shall constitute a Default.
4.10 Defense of Actions. Grantor will defend, at Grantors expense, any action, proceeding or claim which affects any property encumbered hereby or any interest of Beneficiary in such property or in the Secured Obligations, and will indemnify and hold Beneficiary harmless from all loss, damage, cost, or expense, including attorneys fees, which Beneficiary may incur in connection therewith.
4.11 Expenses of Enforcement. Grantor will pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, which Beneficiary may incur in connection with any effort or action (whether or not litigation or foreclosure is involved) to enforce or defend Beneficiarys rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents, including but not limited to all attorneys fees, appraisal fees, consultants fees, and other expenses incurred by Beneficiary in securing title to or possession of, and realizing upon, any security for the Secured Obligations. All such costs and expenses (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred) shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations, and may be included in the computation of the amount owed to Beneficiary for purposes of foreclosing or otherwise enforcing this Deed of Trust.
4.12 Financial Reports. During the term of the Loan, Grantor shall supply to Beneficiary (a) within forty-five (45) days following the end of each quarter, Grantors quarterly and annual operating statements for the Property as of the end of and for the preceding quarter and fiscal year, as applicable, in each case prepared consistent with the form of operating statements delivered to Beneficiary by Grantor prior to the date of this Deed of Trust; (b) contemporaneously with Grantors delivery of each of such operating statements, a certified rent roll signed and dated by Grantor in the form delivered to Beneficiary prior to the date of this Deed of Trust; and (c) within ninety (90) days following the end of each year, an annual balance sheet and profit and loss statement of Grantor. The financial statements and reports described in (a) and (c) above shall be in the detail set forth in the financial statements delivered to Beneficiary by Grantor prior to the date of this Deed of Trust, shall be prepared in accordance
17
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and shall be certified as true and correct by Grantor (or, if required by Beneficiary during the continuation of an Event of Default or if required to comply with regulatory requirements to which Beneficiary may be subject, by an independent certified public accountant acceptable to Beneficiary). Grantor shall also furnish to Beneficiary within forty-five (45) days of Beneficiarys request, any other financial reports or statements of Grantor as Beneficiary may reasonably request to comply with regulatory requirements to which Beneficiary may be subject, or as requested by Beneficiary in its sole discretion during the continuation of an Event of Default. Upon Beneficiarys demand after any Event of Default, or if Beneficiary securitizes the Loan, Grantor shall supply to Beneficiary the items required in (a) and (b) above on a monthly basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as KBS ADP Plaza, LLC is Grantor, any request or requirement that Grantor deliver audited financials certified by an independent certified public accountant may be satisfied by delivery of the audited financials for KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.
4.13 Priority of Leases. To the extent Grantor has the right, under the terms of any Lease, to make such Lease subordinate to the lien hereof, Grantor will, at Beneficiarys request and Grantors expense, take such action as may be required to effect such subordination. Conversely, Grantor will, at Beneficiarys request and Grantors expense, take such action as may be necessary to subordinate the lien hereof to any future Lease designated by Beneficiary.
4.14 Inventories; Assembly of Chattels. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, Grantor will at Beneficiarys request assemble the Chattels and make them available to Beneficiary at any place designated by Beneficiary which is reasonably convenient to both parties.
4.15 Compliance with Laws, Etc. Grantor shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, such compliance to include, without limitation, maintaining all Permits and paying before the same become delinquent all taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed upon Grantor or the Property.
4.16 Records and Books of Account. Grantor shall keep accurate and complete records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions relating to the Property.
4.17 Inspection Rights. At any reasonable time, and from time to time, Grantor shall permit Beneficiary, or any agents or representatives thereof, to examine and make copies of and abstracts from the records and books of account of Grantor, and to visit the Property and to discuss with Grantor the affairs, finances and accounts of Grantor.
4.18 Change of Grantors Address or State of Organization. Grantor shall promptly notify Beneficiary if changes are made in Grantors address from that set forth in Section 9.10 hereof, or if Grantor shall either change its location (as such term is used in Section 5.8 hereof), its state of organization or if Grantor shall organize in any state other than the State of Delaware.
18
4.19 Further Assurances; Estoppel Certificates. Grantor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary upon demand, and pay the costs of preparation and recording thereof, any further documents which Beneficiary may request to confirm or perfect the liens and security interests created or intended to be created hereby, or to confirm or perfect any evidence of the Secured Obligations. Grantor will also, within ten days after any request by Beneficiary, deliver to Beneficiary a signed and acknowledged statement certifying to Beneficiary, or to any proposed transferee of the Secured Obligations, (a) the balance of principal, interest, and other sums then outstanding under the Note, and (b) whether Grantor claims to have any offsets or defenses with respect to the Secured Obligations and, if so, the nature of such offsets or defenses.
4.20 Costs of Closing. Grantor shall on demand pay directly or reimburse Beneficiary for any actual costs or expenses pertaining to the closing of the Loan, including, but not limited to, fees of counsel for Beneficiary, costs and expenses for which invoices were not available at the closing of the Loan, or costs and expenses which are incurred by Beneficiary after such closing, including, without limitation, costs or expenses incurred to obtain originals or copies of recorded or filed Loan Documents and UCC financing statements. All such costs and expenses (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Beneficiary) shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations, and may be included in the computation of the amount owed to Beneficiary for purposes of foreclosing or otherwise enforcing this Deed of Trust.
4.21 Fund for Electronic Transfer. All monthly payments of principal and interest on the Note, and escrow deposits, if any, under this Deed of Trust, shall be made by Grantor by electronic funds transfer from a bank account established and maintained by Grantor for such purpose. Grantor shall establish and maintain such an account until the Note is fully paid and shall direct the depository of such account in writing to so transmit such payments on or before the respective due dates to the account of Beneficiary as shall be designated by Beneficiary in writing.
4.22 Use. Grantor shall use the Property solely for the operation of an office complex, and for no other use or purpose.
4.23 Management. The Property shall be managed by CB Richard Ellis (Property Manager) under a management agreement previously delivered to, and approved, by Beneficiary (the Management Agreement). If Grantor shall terminate or permit any amendment to or modification of the Management Agreement, or permit management of the Property by any person or entity other than Property Manager (New Property Manager), Grantor shall promptly provide Beneficiary with notice thereof and any such New Property Manager shall have management expertise in managing properties similar in size and type to the Property. Beneficiary hereby approves any of the following as New Property Managers: Jones Lang and PM Realty Group. Following a transfer of the Property by the initial Grantor named herein pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4(c), below, Beneficiarys prior written consent shall be required for (a) any termination or modification of the Management Agreement, (b) management of the Property by any person or entity other than Property Manager, and (c) any leasing agreement affecting the Property entered into by Grantor and any termination or modification of any such leasing agreement.
19
4.24 Secondary Market Transactions. Beneficiary shall have the right at any time: (a) to participate, syndicate or securitize all or any portion of its interest in the Loan, (b) to cause the Loan to be split into senior and one or more junior or mezzanine Loans in whatever proportion Beneficiary deems appropriate (which Loans may be secured by mortgages, deeds of trust and/or a pledge of direct or indirect partnership or membership interests in Grantor), and (c) to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) or multiple components of such note or notes, and thereafter to sell, assign, participate, syndicate or securitize all or any part of any variant of the Loan (any of the foregoing, a Secondary Market Transaction). Grantor shall cooperate with Beneficiary to facilitate any Secondary Market Transaction and the rating of the Loan (or any resulting variant thereof) and of each securitization in which one or more Loans are included; provided that Grantor shall not be required to (i) incur any out-of-pocket expense in connection therewith unless Beneficiary agrees to pay for such out-of-pocket expenses as they are incurred by Grantor, (ii) agree to a modification of any Loan document, or (iii) take any actions that would impose a significant burden on Grantor, including, without limitation, requesting executives of Grantor or other executives of entities holding an interest (direct or indirect) in Grantor to participate in any form of presentation regarding the Property or the Loans. Grantors cooperation obligation shall continue until the Loan has been sold through a Secondary Market Transaction.
4.25 Cash Management. Following any transfer of the Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4(c), below, or at any time after the closing of the Loan upon no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice by Beneficiary, Grantor shall establish an account (the Clearing Account) under the sole dominion and control of Beneficiary at a bank (the Clearing Bank) into which all proceeds from the Property will be deposited during the Loan term. The Clearing Bank will be selected by Grantor but must be acceptable to Beneficiary. Grantor shall be required to notify each tenant of the Property to remit all amounts due with respect to the Property directly to the Clearing Account. Unless a Cash Management Period (as defined below) is continuing, all funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank into Grantors operating account at the Clearing Bank. There shall be no restrictions on Grantors use of the operating account. During the continuance of a Cash Management Period, funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be transferred by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into a deposit account (the Deposit Account) under the sole dominion and control of the Beneficiary at a bank selected by Beneficiary (the Deposit Bank). All funds in the Deposit Account shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to be used to cover interest payments under the Note, (b) second, disbursed monthly to Grantor in an amount sufficient to allow Grantor to make Permitted REIT Distributions (as that term is defined in the Note), (c) third, to fund any reserves established under the terms of the Loan Documents, and (d) fourth, to pay operating expenses and capital expenses of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing subsections (c) and (d), during the continuance of a Cash Management Period, all amounts on deposit in the Deposit Account, after monthly payment to the Grantor of funds sufficient to allow Grantor to make Permitted REIT Distributions, shall be additional cash collateral for the Loan and applied to Grantors outstanding obligations under the Loan as Beneficiary may elect. A Cash Management Period shall commence upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, and shall end if the Event of Default has been cured. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, Grantor shall have the right under all circumstances to use proceeds from the Property first to make Permitted REIT Distributions before applying such proceeds to any debt service or reserve or other payment obligations under the Loan.
20
4.26 Hazardous Substances. Grantor covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Grantor will (i) comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the ownership or use of the Property, (ii) use its best efforts to cause all tenants and other persons occupying the Property to comply with all Environmental Laws, (iii) immediately pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incurred in such compliance, and (iv) keep or cause the Property to be kept free and clear of any liens imposed thereon pursuant to any Environmental Laws.
(b) Grantor will not generate, use, treat, store, Release or dispose of, or permit the generation, use, treatment, storage, Release or disposal of, any Hazardous Substances on the Property, or transport or permit the transportation of any Hazardous Substances to or from the Property, in each case in any quantity or manner which violates any Environmental Law. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Grantor may store, maintain and use on the Property janitorial and maintenance supplies, paint and other Hazardous Substances of a type and in a quantity readily available for purchase by the general public and normally stored, maintained and used by owners and managers of properties of a type similar to the Property, and (ii) tenants of the Property may store, maintain and use on the Property (and, if any tenant is a retail business, hold in inventory and sell in the ordinary course of such tenants business) Hazardous Substances of a type and quantity readily available for purchase by the general public and normally stored, maintained and used (and, if tenant is a retail business, sold) by tenants in similar lines of business on properties similar to the Property.
(c) If Beneficiary (i) has knowledge of any pending or threatened Environmental Claim against Grantor or the Property or (ii) has reason to believe that the Grantor or the Property are in violation of any Environmental Law or (iii) receives a request for an environmental site assessment report from a regulatory or other governmental entity with jurisdiction over Beneficiary, then at Beneficiarys written request, at any time and from time to time, Grantor will provide to Beneficiary an environmental site assessment report concerning the Property, prepared by an environmental consulting firm approved by Beneficiary, indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances and the potential cost of any removal or remedial action in connection with any Hazardous Substances on the Property (except that any request arising from clause (iii) above shall be at Beneficiarys sole cost and expense). Except as provided above, any such environmental site assessment report shall be conducted at Grantors sole cost and expense. If Grantor fails to deliver to Beneficiary any such environmental site assessment report within thirty (30) days after being requested to do so by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 4.26, Beneficiary may obtain the same, and Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary and its agents access to the Property and specifically grants to Beneficiary an irrevocable nonexclusive license to undertake such an assessment, and the cost of such assessment (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate as defined in the Note) will be payable by Grantor on demand.
(d) Beneficiary may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, perform at its sole cost and expense an environmental site assessment report for the Property, and
21
Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary and its agents access to the Property upon reasonable prior notice to Grantor, and specifically grants to Beneficiary an irrevocable non-exclusive license to undertake such an assessment, expressly excluding any invasive inspections. Grantor shall have the right to have an agent or representative of Grantor present during any such inspection.
(e) Grantor will advise Beneficiary in writing immediately upon learning of any of the following: (i)any pending or threatened Environmental Claim against Grantor or the Property; (ii) any condition or occurrence on the Property that (A) results in noncompliance by Grantor with any applicable Environmental Law, or (B) could reasonably be anticipated to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Grantor or the Property; (iii) any condition or occurrence on the Property that could reasonably be anticipated to cause the Property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of the Property under any Environmental Law; and (iv) the taking of any removal or remedial action in response to the actual or alleged presence, in any quantity or manner which violates any Environmental Law, of any Hazardous Substances on the Property. Each such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, investigation, condition, occurrence or removal or remedial action and Grantors response thereto. In addition, Grantor will provide Beneficiary with copies of all communications to or from Grantor and any governmental agency relating to Environmental Laws, all communications to or from Grantor and any person relating to Environmental Claims, and such detailed reports of any Environmental Claim as may be requested by Beneficiary.
(f) Beneficiary shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in or defend, as a party if it so elects, any Environmental Claim. Without Beneficiarys prior written consent, Grantor shall not enter into any settlement, consent or compromise with respect to any Environmental Claim that might impair the value of the Property.
(g) At its sole expense, Grantor will conduct any investigation, study, sampling and testing, and undertake any cleanup, removal, remedial or other action necessary to remove and clean up all Hazardous Substances from the Property which must be so removed or cleaned up in accordance with the requirements of any applicable Environmental Laws, to the reasonable satisfaction of a professional environmental consultant selected by Beneficiary, and in accordance with all such requirements and with orders and directives of all governmental authorities. If all or any portion of the Loan shall be outstanding, Grantor may prepay the Loan in full, together with all applicable prepayment penalties, in lieu of complying with the preceding sentence.
(h) Grantor will defend (with attorneys satisfactory to the Indemnitees), protect, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Indemnitees and its respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents from and against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal and remedial actions), losses, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages and punitive damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys and consultants fees and disbursements) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may at any time be incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them directly or indirectly based on, or arising or resulting from (i) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Substances on the Property in any quantity or manner which violates Environmental Law, or the removal, handling, transportation, disposal
22
or storage of such Hazardous Substances, (ii) any Environmental Claim with respect to Grantor or the Property, or (iii) the exercise of any Indemnitees rights under this Section 4.26 (collectively, the Indemnified Matters), regardless of when such Indemnified Matters arise, but excluding any Indemnified Matter arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee or with respect to Hazardous Substances first Released on the Property after the earlier of (1) the date neither Grantor nor any of its affiliates holds title to or any other interest in or lien on the Property as a result of a transfer permitted under Section 5.4(c), below, or through foreclosure (or deed in lieu thereof) of the lien of the Deed of Trust, or (2) the payment in full of the Secured Obligations. To the extent that this indemnity is unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Grantor agrees to contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the Secured Obligations have been paid in full shall mean the Secured Obligations have been voluntarily repaid in full by Grantor in cash, only, and shall not include the acceptance by Beneficiary of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or the making of any bid made by Beneficiary in connection with a foreclosure of the Property.
(i) Grantor will reimburse each Indemnitee for all sums paid and costs incurred by such Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter within ten (10) days following written demand therefor, with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) if not paid within such ten (10) day period.
(j) Should any Indemnitee institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity, or in arbitration, to enforce any provision of this Deed of Trust (including an action for declaratory relief or for damages by reason of any alleged breach of any provision of this Section 4.26) or otherwise in connection with this Deed of Trust or any provision hereof, it shall be entitled to recover from Grantor its reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith if it is the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, including fees and disbursements incurred on appeal.
(k) THE INDEMNITIES CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 4.26 SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO LOSSES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH (AND/OR ANY OTHER) INDEMNIFIED PARTY OR ANY STRICT LIABILITY.
(l) Grantor agrees that notwithstanding any term or provision contained in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Grantor as set forth in this Section 4.26 shall be exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpatory provision relating to the Loan, and Grantor shall be fully liable for the performance of its obligations under this Section, and such liability shall not be limited to the original principal amount of the Loan.
(m) The liability of Grantor under this Section 4.26 shall in no way be limited to or impaired by any amendment or modification of the provisions of the Loan Documents unless such amendment or modification expressly refers to this Section 4.26. In addition, the liability of Grantor under this Section 4.26 shall in no way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents, (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Property, (iii) any exculpatory provision in any of the Loan Documents limiting any
23
Indemnitees recourse to property encumbered by this Deed of Trust or to any other security, or limiting the Indemnitees rights to a deficiency judgment against Grantor, (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Grantor under any of the Loan Documents, (v) the release of Grantor or any other person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, any Indemnitees voluntary act, or otherwise, (vi) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Note or (vii) Beneficiarys failure to record this Deed of Trust or file any financing statements (or Beneficiarys improper recording or filing of any thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien given as security for the Note; and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Grantor and with or without consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything else stated to the contrary in this Deed of Trust, none of the constituent members or partners in Grantor (nor any of their constituent members or partners) shall have any liability whatsoever for any of Grantors obligations hereunder.
(n) The provisions of this Section 4.26 shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of Grantor, the Indemnitees, and their respective successors and assigns.

BENEFICIARYS REMEDIES
Immediately upon or any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, Beneficiary may exercise any remedy available at law or in equity, including but not limited to those listed below and those listed in the other Loan Documents, in such sequence or combination as Beneficiary may determine in Beneficiarys sole discretion:
32
7.1 Performance of Defaulted Obligations. Beneficiary may make any payment or perform any other obligation under the Loan Documents or under Leases which Grantor has failed to make or perform, and Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact for Grantor to make any such payment and perform any such obligation in the name of Grantor. All payments made and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses) incurred by Beneficiary in this connection, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid or incurred until repaid, will be part of the Secured Obligations and will be immediately due and payable by Grantor to Beneficiary. In lieu of advancing Beneficiarys own funds for such purposes, Beneficiary may use any funds of Grantor which may be in Beneficiarys possession, including but not limited to insurance or condemnation proceeds and amounts deposited for taxes, insurance premiums, or other purposes.
7.2 Specific Performance and Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the availability of legal remedies, Beneficiary will be entitled to obtain specific performance, mandatory or prohibitory injunctive relief, or other equitable relief requiring Grantor to cure or refrain from repeating any Default.
7.3 Acceleration of Secured Obligations. Beneficiary may, without notice or demand, declare all of the Secured Obligations immediately due and payable in full.
7.4 Suit for Monetary Relief. Subject to the non-recourse provisions of the Note, with or without accelerating the maturity of the Secured Obligations, Beneficiary may sue from time to time for any payment due under any of the Loan Documents, or for money damages resulting from Grantors default under any of the Loan Documents.
7.5 Possession of Property. Beneficiary may enter and take possession of the Property without seeking or obtaining the appointment of a receiver, may employ a managing agent for the Property, and may lease or rent all or any part of the Property, either in Beneficiarys name or in the name of Grantor, and may collect the rents, issues, and profits of the Property. Any revenues collected by Beneficiary under this Section will be applied first toward payment of all expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred until repaid, and the balance, if any, will be applied against the Secured Obligations.
7.6 Enforcement of Security Interests. Beneficiary may exercise all rights of a secured party under the Code with respect to the Chattels and the Intangible Personalty, including but not limited to taking possession of, holding, and selling the Chattels and enforcing or otherwise realizing upon any accounts and general intangibles. Any requirement for reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale, or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made, will be satisfied by Beneficiarys giving of such notice to Grantor at least five days prior to the time of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made.
33
7.7 Foreclosure Against Property.
(a) Beneficiary may foreclose this Deed of Trust, insofar as it encumbers the Property, either by judicial action or through Trustee. Foreclosure through Trustee will be initiated by Beneficiarys request to Trustee to sell the Property in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon at public auction to the highest bidder. Upon receipt of such written notice, Trustee shall promptly comply with all notice, publication and other requirements of the laws of Oregon then in force with respect to such sales. The proceeds of any sale under this Section shall be applied first to the fees and expenses of sale, including a reasonable Trustees fee and attorneys fee, and then to the reduction or discharge of the Secured Obligations; any surplus remaining shall be paid over to Grantor or to such other person or persons as may be lawfully entitled to such surplus. At the conclusion of any foreclosure sale, Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser at the sale its deed, without warranty, which shall convey to purchaser the interest in the Property, which Grantor had or had power to convey at the time of its execution of this Deed of Trust, and such as it may have acquired thereafter. Trustees deed shall recite facts showing the sale was conducted in compliance with all requirements of the law and this Deed of Trust, which recitals shall be prima facie evidence of such compliance and conclusive evidence thereof in favor of bona fide purchasers and encumbrances. Nothing in this Section dealing with foreclosure procedures or specifying particular actions to be taken by Beneficiary or by Trustee or any similar officer shall be deemed to contradict or add to the requirements and procedures now or hereafter specified by Oregon law, and any such inconsistency shall be resolved in favor of Oregon law applicable at the time of foreclosure.
(b) The purchaser at any trustees or foreclosure sale hereunder may disaffirm any easement granted, or rental, Lease or other contract made, in violation of any provision of this Deed of Trust, and may take immediate possession of the Property free from, and despite the terms of, such grant of easement and rental or Lease contract.
(c) Beneficiary shall have the right to become the purchaser at all sales to enforce this trust, being the highest bidder, and to have the Secured Obligations owing, or any part thereof, credited against the amount for which such property is sold.
7.8 Appointment of Receiver. To the extent permitted by law, Beneficiary shall be entitled, as a matter of absolute right and without regard to the value of any security for the Secured Obligations or the solvency of any person liable therefor, to the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon ex-parte application to any court of competent jurisdiction. Grantor waives any right to any hearing or notice of hearing prior to the appointment of a receiver. Such receiver and its agents shall be empowered, but shall not be obligated, to (a) take possession of the Property and any businesses conducted by Grantor or any other person thereon and any business assets used in connection therewith, (b) exclude Grantor and Grantors agents, servants, and employees from the Property, (c) collect the rents, issues, profits, and income therefrom, (d) complete any construction which may be in progress, (e) do such maintenance and make such repairs and alterations as the receiver deems necessary, (f) use all stores of materials, supplies, and maintenance equipment on the Property and replace such items at the expense of the receivership estate, (g) pay all taxes and assessments against the Property and the Chattels, all premiums for insurance thereon, all utility and other operating expenses, and all sums due
34
under any prior or subsequent encumbrance, and (h) generally do anything which Grantor could legally do if Grantor were in possession of the Property. All expenses incurred by the receiver or its agents shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations. Any revenues collected by the receiver shall be applied first to the expenses of the receivership, including reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the receiver and by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred until repaid, and the balance shall be applied toward the Secured Obligations or in such other manner as the court may direct. Unless sooner terminated with the express consent of Beneficiary, any such receivership will continue until the Secured Obligations have been discharged in full, or until title to the Property has passed after foreclosure sale and all applicable periods of redemption have expired.
7.9 Right to Make Repairs, Improvements. Should any part of the Property come into the possession of Beneficiary, whether before or after an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, use, operate, and/or make repairs, alterations, additions and improvements to the Property for the purpose of preserving it or its value. Grantor covenants to promptly reimburse and pay to Beneficiary, at the place where the Note is payable, or at such other place as may be designated by Beneficiary in writing, the amount of all reasonable expenses (including the cost of any insurance, taxes, or other charges) incurred by Beneficiary in connection with its custody, preservation, use or operation of the Property, together with interest thereon from the date incurred by Beneficiary at the Default Rate, and all such expenses, costs, taxes, interest, and other charges shall be a part of the Secured Obligations. It is agreed, however, that the risk of accidental loss or damage to the Property is undertaken by Grantor and Beneficiary shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to obtain or maintain insurance, or for failure to determine whether any insurance ever in force is adequate as to amount or as to the risks insured.
7.10 Surrender of Insurance. Beneficiary may surrender the insurance policies maintained pursuant to the terms hereof, or any part thereof, and receive and apply the unearned premiums as a credit on the Secured Obligations and, in connection therewith, Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary (or any officer of Beneficiary), as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for Grantor (with full powers of substitution), which power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and therefore irrevocable, to collect such premiums.
7.11 Prima Facie Evidence. Grantor agrees that, in any assignments, deeds, bills of sale, notices of sale, or postings, given by Beneficiary, any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made as to the identity of Beneficiary, or as to the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, or as to the acceleration of the maturity of the Secured Obligations, or as to the request to sell, posting of notice of sale, notice of sale, time, place, terms and manner of sale and receipt, distribution and application of the money realized therefrom, and without being limited by the foregoing, as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Beneficiary, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that such statements or recitals state facts and are without further question to be so accepted, and Grantor does hereby ratify and confirm any and all acts that Beneficiary may lawfully do by virtue hereof.
7.12 Collateral for All Obligations. Grantor acknowledges that the Property is collateral for the full amount of the Secured Obligations. Neither Beneficiary nor Trustee shall
35
be required to marshal all or any part of the Property or proceed against all or any part of the Property in any particular sequence, and Beneficiary shall not be limited in the amount it can recover from the Property to satisfy the Secured Obligations.
Article 8
ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
8.1 Assignment of Leases and Rents. Grantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and presently grants, transfers and assigns unto Beneficiary, all rents, royalties, issues, profits and income (Rents) now or hereafter due or payable for the occupancy or use of the Property, and all Leases, whether written or oral, with all security therefor, including all guaranties thereof, now or hereafter affecting the Property; on the condition that Beneficiary hereby grants to Grantor a license to collect and retain such Rents prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder. Such license shall be revocable by Beneficiary without notice to Grantor at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Grantor represents that the Rents and the Leases have not been heretofore sold, assigned, transferred or set over by any instrument now in force and will not at any time during the life of this assignment be sold, assigned, transferred or set over by Grantor or by any person or persons whomsoever; and Grantor has good right to sell, assign, transfer and set over the same and to grant to and confer upon Beneficiary the rights, interest, powers and authorities herein granted and conferred. Failure of Beneficiary at any time or from time to time to enforce the assignment of Rents and Leases under this Section shall not in any manner prevent its subsequent enforcement, and Beneficiary is not obligated to collect anything hereunder, but is accountable only for sums actually collected.
8.2 Further Assignments. Grantor shall give Beneficiary at any time upon demand any further or additional forms of assignment or transfer of such Rents, Leases and security as may be reasonably requested by Beneficiary, and shall deliver to Beneficiary executed copies of all such Leases and security.
8.3 Application of Rents. Beneficiary shall be entitled to deduct and retain a just and reasonable compensation from monies received hereunder for its services or that of its agents in collecting such monies. Any monies received by Beneficiary hereunder may be applied when received from time to time in payment of any taxes, assessments or other liens affecting the Property regardless of the delinquency, such application to be in such order as Beneficiary may determine. The acceptance of this Deed of Trust by Beneficiary or the exercise of any rights by it hereunder shall not be, or be construed to be, an affirmation by it of any Lease nor an assumption of any liability under any Lease.
8.4 Collection of Rents. Upon or at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable, and may, at its option, without notice, and whether or not the Secured Obligations shall have been declared due and payable, either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, (i) enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate the Property, or any part thereof (including without limitation making necessary repairs, alterations and improvements to the Property);
36
(ii) make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases; (iii) obtain and evict tenants; (iv) fix or modify Rents; (v) do any acts which Beneficiary deems reasonably proper to protect the security thereof; and (vi) either with or without taking possession of the Property, in its own name sue for or otherwise collect and receive such Rents, including those past due and unpaid. In connection with the foregoing, Beneficiary shall be entitled and empowered to employ attorneys, and management, rental and other agents in and about the Property and to effect the matters which Beneficiary is empowered to do, and in the event Beneficiary shall itself effect such matters, Beneficiary shall be entitled to charge and receive reasonable management, rental and other fees therefor as may be customary in the area in which the Property is located; and the reasonable fees, charges, costs and expenses of Beneficiary or such persons shall be additional Secured Obligations. Beneficiary may apply all funds collected as aforesaid, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys and agents fees, charges, costs and expenses, as aforesaid, upon any Secured Obligations, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of the Property, the collection of such Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure or waive any default or waive, modify or affect notice of default under the Note or this Deed of Trust or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
8.5 Authority of Beneficiary. Any tenants or occupants of any part of the Property are hereby authorized to recognize the claims of Beneficiary hereunder without investigating the reason for any action taken by Beneficiary, or the validity or the amount of indebtedness owing to Beneficiary, or the existence of any default in the Note or this Deed of Trust, or under or by reason of this assignment of Rents and Leases, or the application to be made by Beneficiary of any amounts to be paid to Beneficiary and regardless of whether Beneficiary has taken possession of any other portion of the Property. The sole signature of Beneficiary shall be sufficient for the exercise of any rights under this assignment and the sole receipt of Beneficiary for any sums received shall be a full discharge and release therefor to any such tenant or occupant of the Property. Checks for all or any part of the rentals collected under this assignment of Rents and Leases shall be drawn to the exclusive order of Beneficiary.
8.6 Indemnification of Beneficiary. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate Beneficiary to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of any lessor under any Lease of the Property, deem Beneficiary a mortgagee in possession prior to actual entry upon and taking possession of the Property, and Grantor shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Beneficiary harmless from any and all liability, loss or damage which Beneficiary may or might incur under any Lease of the Property or by reason of this assignment; and any and all such liability, loss or damage incurred by Beneficiary, together with the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by Beneficiary in defense of any claims or demands therefor (whether successful or not), shall be additional Secured Obligations, and Grantor shall reimburse Beneficiary therefor on demand.
Article 9
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
9.1 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all of Grantors obligations under the Loan Documents.
37
9.2 Joint and Several Obligations. If Grantor is more than one person or entity, then (a) all persons or entities comprising Grantor are jointly and severally liable for all of the Secured Obligations; (b) all representations, warranties, and covenants made by Grantor shall be deemed representations, warranties, and covenants of each of the persons or entities comprising Grantor; (c) any breach, Default or Event of Default by any persons or entities comprising Grantor hereunder shall be deemed to be a breach, Default or Event of Default of Grantor; (d) any reference herein contained to the knowledge or awareness of Grantor shall mean the knowledge or awareness of any of the persons or entities comprising Grantor; and (e) any event creating personal liability of any of the persons or entities comprising Grantor shall create personal liability for all such persons or entities.
9.3 Waiver of Homestead and Other Exemptions; Commercial Property. To the extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby waives all rights to any homestead or other exemption to which Grantor would otherwise be entitled under any present or future constitutional, statutory, or other provision of applicable state or federal law. Grantor hereby waives any right it may have to require Beneficiary to marshal all or any portion of the security for the Secured Obligations. Grantor covenants and warrants that the Property is used by Grantor exclusively for business and commercial purposes and is not and will not be occupied as the principal residence of Grantor or Grantors spouse or Grantors minor or dependent children.
9.4 Non-Recourse; Exceptions to Non-Recourse. Except as expressly set forth in the Note, the recourse of Beneficiary with respect to the obligations evidenced by the Note, this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents shall be solely to the Property, Chattels and Intangible Personalty, and any other collateral given as security for the Note.
9.5 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Beneficiarys rights and remedies under each of the Loan Documents are cumulative of the rights and remedies available to Beneficiary under each of the other Loan Documents and those otherwise available to Beneficiary at law or in equity. No act of Beneficiary shall be construed as an election to proceed under any particular provision of any Loan Document to the exclusion of any other provision in the same or any other Loan Document, or as an election of remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter be available to Beneficiary.
9.6 No Implied Waivers. Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have waived any provision of any Loan Document unless such waiver is in writing and is signed by Beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, neither Beneficiarys acceptance of any payment with knowledge of a Default by Grantor, nor any failure by Beneficiary to exercise any remedy following a Default by Grantor shall be deemed a waiver of such Default, and no waiver by Beneficiary of any particular Default on the part of Grantor shall be deemed a waiver of any other Default or of any similar Default in the future.
9.7 No Third-Party Rights. No person shall be a third-party beneficiary of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. All provisions of the Loan Documents favoring Beneficiary are intended solely for the benefit of Beneficiary, and no third party shall be entitled to assume or expect that Beneficiary will waive or consent to modification of any such provision in Beneficiarys sole discretion.
38
9.8 Preservation of Liability and Priority. Without affecting the liability of Grantor or of any other person (except a person expressly released in writing) for payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations, and without affecting the rights of Beneficiary with respect to any security not expressly released in writing, and without impairing in any way the priority of this Deed of Trust over the interests of any person acquired or first evidenced by recording subsequent to the recording hereof, Beneficiary may, either before or after the maturity of the Note, and without notice or consent: (a) release any person liable for payment or performance of all or any part of the Secured Obligations; (b) make any agreement altering the terms of payment or performance of all or any of the Secured Obligations; (c) exercise or refrain from exercising, or waive, any right or remedy which Beneficiary may have under any of the Loan Documents; (d) accept additional security of any kind for any of the Secured Obligations; or (e) release or otherwise deal with any real or personal property securing the Secured Obligations. Any person acquiring or recording evidence of any interest of any nature in the Property, the Chattels, or the Intangible Personalty shall be deemed, by acquiring such interest or recording any evidence thereof, to have agreed and consented to any or all such actions by Beneficiary.
9.9 Subrogation of Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the lien of any previous encumbrance discharged with funds advanced by Beneficiary under the Loan Documents, regardless of whether such previous encumbrance has been released of record.
9.10 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given by Grantor or Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust shall be in writing and will be deemed given (a) upon personal delivery, (b) on the first business day after receipted delivery to a courier service which guarantees next-business-day delivery, or (c) on the third business day after mailing, by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, in any case to the appropriate party at its address set forth below:

9.11 Defeasance. Upon payment and performance in full of all of the Secured Obligations, Beneficiary will execute and deliver to Grantor such documents as may be required to release this Deed of Trust of record.
9.12 Illegality. If any provision of this Deed of Trust is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Deed of Trust, the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Deed of Trust shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of this Deed of Trust a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable. If the rights and liens created by this Deed of Trust shall be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Secured Obligations, then the unsecured portion of the Secured Obligations shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining and secured portion of the Secured Obligations, and all payments made on the Secured Obligations shall be considered to have been paid on and applied first to the complete payment of the unsecured portion of the Secured Obligations.
9.13 Usury Savings Clause. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Beneficiary and Grantor at all times to comply with the applicable law governing the highest lawful interest rate. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Loan, or if acceleration of the maturity of the Note, any prepayment by Grantor, or any other circumstance whatsoever, results in Grantor having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is the express intent of Grantor and Beneficiary that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Beneficiary be credited on the principal balance of the Note (or, at Beneficiarys option, paid over to Grantor), and the provisions of the Note and other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced,
40
without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder. The right to accelerate maturity of the Note does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Beneficiary does not intend to collect any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary for the use, forbearance or detention of the Secured Obligations evidenced hereby or by the Note shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Secured Obligations until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such Secured Obligations does not exceed the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted under applicable law. The term applicable law as used herein shall mean any federal or state law applicable to the Loan.
9.14 Obligations Binding Upon Grantors Successors. This Deed of Trust is binding upon Grantor and Grantors successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Beneficiary, and its successors and assigns, and the provisions hereof shall likewise be covenants running with the land. The duties, covenants, conditions, obligations, and warranties of Grantor in this Deed of Trust shall be joint and several obligations of Grantor and Grantors successors and assigns.
9.15 Construction. All pronouns and any variations of pronouns herein shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the parties may require. Whenever the terms herein are singular, the same shall be deemed to mean the plural, as the identity of the parties or the context requires.
9.16 Attorneys Fees. Any reference in this Deed of Trust to attorneys or counsels fees paid or incurred by Beneficiary shall be deemed to include paralegals fees and legal assistants fees. Moreover, wherever provision is made herein for payment of attorneys or counsels fees or expenses incurred by Beneficiary, such provision shall include but not be limited to, such fees or expenses incurred in any and all judicial, bankruptcy, reorganization, administrative, or other proceedings, including appellate proceedings, whether such fees or expenses arise before proceedings are commenced, during such proceedings or after entry of a final judgment.
9.17 Waiver and Agreement. GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO PREPAY THE NOTE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WITHOUT PREPAYMENT CHARGE, UPON ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THE NOTE, AND AGREES THAT, IF FOR ANY REASON A PREPAYMENT OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE NOTE IS MADE, WHETHER VOLUNTARILY OR FOLLOWING ANY ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THE NOTE BY BENEFICIARY ON ACCOUNT OF THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT ARISING FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS A RESULT OF ANY PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED TRANSFER, FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE OR DISPOSITION OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF SECURING THE NOTE, THEN GRANTOR SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY, CONCURRENTLY WITH SUCH PREPAYMENT, THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM PROVIDED FOR IN THE NOTE (OR, IN THE EVENT OF ACCELERATION WHEN THE NOTE IS CLOSED TO PREPAYMENT, AS PROVIDED IN THE DEFINITION OF
41
SECURED OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 1 HEREOF). GRANTOR HEREBY DECLARES THAT BENEFICIARYS AGREEMENT TO MAKE THE LOAN AT THE INTEREST RATE AND FOR THE TERM SET FORTH IN THE NOTE CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION, GIVEN INDIVIDUAL WEIGHT BY GRANTOR, FOR THIS WAIVER AND AGREEMENT.
9.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. BENEFICIARY AND GRANTOR KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON THIS DEED OF TRUST, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS DEED OF TRUST OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO OR TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BENEFICIARY AND GRANTOR TO ENTER INTO THE LOAN.
9.19 Governing Laws. The substantive laws of the State of Oregon shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement, and interpretation of this Deed of Trust.
9.20 Entire Agreement; Inconsistency. The Loan Documents and the Loan Application constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Grantor and Beneficiary with respect to the Loan and supersede all prior agreements, understandings or negotiations with respect thereto, whether written or oral. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Loan Documents and the terms the Loan Application, the terms of the Loan Documents shall govern and control in all respects.
9.21 Anti-Terrorism. Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to Beneficiary that:
(a) Neither Grantor, nor or any of its constituents, affiliates, members, officers, directors or any individual who has the authority to execute or authorize, or who has been authorized to execute, and/or whose consent is required for the execution of the Loan Documents on behalf of Grantor is in violation of any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including without limitation, Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001, and relating to Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, (as the same has been, or may hereafter be, renewed, extended, amended or replaced, the Executive Order) and the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. § 5311 et seq.), as amended by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56, as the same has been, or may hereafter be, renewed, extended, amended or replaced, the Patriot Act).
