ARTICLE 2

GRANTING CLAUSE

 

2.1                               Grant to Trustee. As security for the Indebtedness, Grantor hereby grants, bargains, sells, and conveys the Property to Trustee, in trust for the use and benefit of Beneficiary, with power of sale, and subject to all provisions hereof.

 

2.2                               Security Interest to Beneficiary. As additional security for the Indebtedness, Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary a security interest in the Chattels and in the Intangible

 

4



 

Personalty.  To the extent any of the Chattels or the intangible Personalty may be or have been acquired with funds advanced by Beneficiary under the Loan Documents, this security interest is a purchase money security interest. This Deed of Trust constitutes a Security Agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Property is located (the “Code”) with respect to any part of the Property, Chattels and Intangible Personalty that may or might now or hereafter be or be deemed to be personal property, fixtures or property other than real estate (all collectively hereinafter called “Collateral”); all of the terms, provisions, conditions and agreements contained in this Deed of Trust pertain and apply to the Collateral as fully and to the same extent as to any other property comprising the Property, and the following provisions of this Section 2.2 shall not limit the generality or applicability of any other provisions of this Deed of Trust but shall be in addition thereto:

 

(a)                                  The Collateral shall be used by Grantor solely for business purposes, being installed upon the real estate comprising part of the Property for Grantor’s own use or as the equipment and furnishings furnished by Grantor, as landlord, to tenants of the Property;

 

(b)                                 All tangible personal property constituting part of the Collateral shall be kept at the real estate comprising a part of the Property, and shall not be removed therefrom without the consent of Beneficiary (being the Secured Party as that term is used in the Code); and the Collateral may be affixed to such real estate but shall not be affixed to any other real estate;

 

(c)                                  No financing statement covering any of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof is on file in any public office; and Grantor will, at its cost and expense, upon demand, furnish to Beneficiary such further information and will execute and deliver to Beneficiary such financing statements and other documents in form satisfactory to Beneficiary and will do all such acts and things as Beneficiary may at any time or from time to time reasonably request or as may be necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain a perfected security interest in the Collateral as security for the Indebtedness, subject to no adverse liens or encumbrances; and Grantor will pay the cost of filing the same or filing or recording such financing statements or other documents and this instrument in all public offices wherever filing or recording is deemed by Beneficiary to be necessary or desirable;

 

(d)                                 The terms and provisions contained in this Section 2.2 and in Section 7.6 of this Deed of Trust shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings and be construed as provided in the Code; and

 

(e)                                  This Deed of Trust constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under the Code with respect to the Collateral. As such, this Deed of Trust covers all items of the Collateral that are or are to become fixtures. Grantor is the “Debtor” and Beneficiary is the

 

5



 

“Secured Party” (as those terms are defined and used in the Code) insofar as this Deed of Trust constitutes a financing statement.

 

ARTICLE 3

GRANTOR’S TITLE AND AUTHORITY

 

3.1                               Warranty of Title. Grantor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that Grantor has good and marketable title to the Property in fee simple absolute, subject only to the lien of general taxes for the current year, payable the following year, and those additional matters, if any, set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Permitted Exceptions”). Grantor further represents and warrants to Beneficiary that Grantor is the absolute owner of the Chattels and the Intangible Personalty, free of any liens, encumbrances, security interests and other claims whatsoever, except insofar as the Chattels may be encumbered by the lien of general taxes for the current year, payable in the following year, or by any of the Permitted Exceptions.  Grantor, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby agrees to warrant and forever defend, all and singular, all of the property and property interest granted and conveyed in trust pursuant to this Deed of Trust, against every person whomsoever lawfully claiming, or to claim, the same or any part thereof, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.  The warranties contained in this Section 3.1 shall survive foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by any person who may acquire title to the Property, the Chattels, or the Intangible Personalty pursuant to any such foreclosure.

 

3.2                               Waiver of Homestead and Other Exemptions. 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.

 

3.3                               Due Authorization. If Grantor is other than a natural person, then each individual who executes this document on behalf of Grantor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that such execution has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, or other action on the part of Grantor.

 

ARTICLE 4

GRANTOR’S AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

 

4.1                               Payment of Note. Grantor will pay all principal, interest, and other sums payable under the Note, on the dates when such payments are due, without notice or demand.

 

6



 

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. Subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, 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.  Grantor will duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, all taxes and assessments, general or special, which may be levied or imposed at any time against Grantor’s interest and estate in the Property, the Chattels, or the Intangible Personalty, in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Loan Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Reserve for Taxes. If Beneficiary shall at any time so request, following any Event of Default (whether or not such Event of Default is subsequently cured) Grantor will create a fund or reserve for the payment of taxes, assessments and similar governmental charges referred to in this Section 4.4 in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Loan Agreement.

 

(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 (but excluding franchise taxes, income taxes and excise taxes imposed on Beneficiary), Grantor will pay such tax, 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 Beneficiary’s 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 4.4, Grantor will not be deemed to be in default solely by reason of Grantor’s failure to pay any tax, assessment or similar governmental charge so long as, in Beneficiary’s judgment, each of the following conditions is satisfied:

 

7



 

(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;

 

(ii)                                  Grantor’s payment of such tax, assessment or charge would necessarily and materially prejudice Grantor’s prospects for success in such proceedings;

 

(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)                              When requested by Beneficiary, 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 Grantor’s 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 ten (10) days after Beneficiary gives notice of such determination.  Beneficiary will make any security posted with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 4.4 available to pay any amount Grantor is determined to be liable for or is requested to pay in respect of any such tax, assessment or other charges, and, absent an Event of Default, will release any excess to Grantor.

 

4.5                               Maintenance of Insurance.  Grantor shall, at Grantor’s expense, maintain in force and effect on the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Loan Agreement) at all times while the Loan Agreement continues in effect insurance in accordance with Section 5.6 of the Loan Agreement.

 

4.6                               Maintenance and Repair of Property and Chattels. Grantor will at all times maintain the Property and the Chattels in accordance with Sections 5.5 and 5.8 of the Loan Agreement.

 

4.7                               Performance of Lease Obligations. As used herein, the term “Tenant Leases” refers to any and all present and future leases, subleases and other agreements under the terms of which any person other than Grantor has or acquires any right to occupy or use the Property or any part thereof. Grantor shall at all times comply with all obligations in the Loan Documents with respect to Grantor’s performance under the Tenant Leases.

 

8



 

4.8                               Eminent Domain; Private Damage. The provisions of Article 6 of the Loan Agreement relating to the taking of or any damage to all or any part of the property encumbered hereby are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

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.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, Grantor will not be deemed to be in default under this Section 4.9 if and so long as Grantor (a) contests in good faith the validity or amount of any asserted lien and diligently prosecutes or defends an action appropriate to obtain a binding determination of the disputed matter, and (b) provides Beneficiary with such security or title insurance protection as Beneficiary may require to protect Beneficiary against all loss, damage, and expense, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, which Beneficiary or Grantor may incur if the asserted lien is determined to be valid.

 

4.10                        Defense of Actions. Grantor will defend, at Grantor’s expense, any action, proceeding or claim which affects any property encumbered hereby or any interest of Beneficiary in such property or in the Indebtedness, 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 Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, 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 Indebtedness. All such costs and expenses shall constitute part of the Indebtedness, 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. Grantor will furnish or cause to be furnished to Beneficiary all financial reports or statements required under any of the Loan Documents.

 

4.13                        Priority of Leases. To the extent Grantor has the right, under the terms of any Tenant Lease, to make such Tenant Lease subordinate to the lien hereof, Grantor will, at Beneficiary’s request and Grantor’s expense, take such action as may be required to effect such subordination. Conversely, Grantor will, at Beneficiary’s request and Grantor’s expense, take such action as may be necessary to subordinate the lien hereof to any future Tenant Lease designated by Beneficiary.

 

4.14                        Inventories; Assembly of Chattels.  Grantor will from time to time at the request of Beneficiary, supply Beneficiary with a current inventory of the Chattels and the Intangible

 

9



 

Personalty, in such detail as Beneficiary may reasonably require.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, Grantor will at Beneficiary’s 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                        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 Indebtedness.  Grantor will also, within ten (10) days after any request by Beneficiary, deliver to Beneficiary a signed and acknowledged statement certifying to Beneficiary, or to any proposed transferee of the Indebtedness, (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 Indebtedness and, if so, the nature of such offsets or defenses.

5.10                        Improper Use of Property, Chattels or Intangible Personalty.

Beneficiary may make any payment or perform any other obligation under the Loan Documents 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) 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 Indebtedness and will be immediately due and payable by Grantor to Beneficiary.  In lieu of advancing Beneficiary’s own funds for such purposes, Beneficiary may use any funds of Grantor which may be in Beneficiary’s possession, including, without limitation, 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 Indebtedness.  Beneficiary may, without notice or demand, declare all of the Indebtedness immediately due and payable in full.

 

7.4                               Suit for Monetary Relief.  With or without accelerating the maturity of the Indebtedness, Beneficiary may sue from time to time for any payment due under any of the Loan

 

13



 

Documents; or for money damages resulting from Grantor’s 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 Beneficiary’s 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 7.5 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 Indebtedness.

 

7.6                               Enforcement of Security Interests. Beneficiary may exercise all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Chattels and the Intangible Personalty, including, without limitation, 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 Beneficiary’s giving of such notice to Grantor at least ten (10) 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.

 

7.7                               Foreclosure Against Property.  Beneficiary may foreclose this Deed of Trust, insofar as it encumbers the Property, either by judicial action or through Trustee.  If this Deed of Trust encumbers more than one parcel of real estate, foreclosure may be by separate parcel or en masse, as Beneficiary may elect in its sole discretion. Foreclosure through Trustee will be initiated by Beneficiary’s filing of its notice of election and demand for sale with Trustee.

 

Upon the filing of such notice of election and demand for sale, Trustee shall promptly comply with all notice and other requirements of the laws of Colorado then in force with respect to such sales, and shall give four (4) weeks’ public notice of the time and place of such sale by advertisement weekly in some newspaper of general circulation then published in the County or City and County in which the Property is located. Any sale conducted by Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be held at the front door of the county courthouse for such County or City and County, or on the Property, or at such other place as similar sales are then customarily held in such County or City and County, provided that the actual place of sale shall be specified in the notice of sale. All fees, costs and expenses of any kind incurred by Beneficiary in connection with foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, the costs of any appraisals of the Property obtained by Beneficiary, all costs of any receivership for the Property advanced by Beneficiary, and all attorneys’ and consultants’ fees incurred by Beneficiary, shall constitute a part of the Indebtedness and may be included as part of the amount owing from Grantor to Beneficiary at any foreclosure sale. The proceeds of any sale under this Section 7.7 shall be

 

14



 

applied first to the fees and expenses of the officer conducting the sale, and then to the reduction or discharge of the Indebtedness; 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, the officer conducting the sale shall execute and deliver to the purchaser at the sale a certificate of purchase which shall describe the property sold to such purchaser and shall stare that upon the expiration of the applicable periods for redemption, the holder of such certificate will be entitled to a deed to the property described in the certificate. After the expiration of all applicable periods of redemption, unless the property sold has been redeemed by Grantor, the officer who conducted such sale shall, upon request, execute and deliver an appropriate deed to the holder of the certificate of purchase or the last certificate of redemption, as the case may be. Nothing in this Section 7.7 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 Colorado law, and any such inconsistency shall be resolved in favor of Colorado law applicable at the time of foreclosure.

 

7.8                               Appointment of Receiver.  Beneficiary shall be entitled, as a matter of absolute right and without regard to the value of any security for the Indebtedness 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 his agents shall be empowered (a) to take possession of the Property and any businesses conducted by Grantor or any other person thereon and any business assets used in connection therewith and, if the receiver deems it appropriate, to operate the same, (b) to exclude Grantor and Grantor’s agents, servants, and employees from the Property, (c) to collect the rents, issues, profits, and income therefrom, (d) to complete any construction which may be in progress, (e) to do such maintenance and make such repairs and alterations as the receiver deems necessary, (f) to use all stores of materials, supplies and maintenance equipment on the Property and replace such items at the expense of the receivership estate, (g) to 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 under any prior or subsequent encumbrance, and (h) generally to do anything which Grantor could legally do if Grantor were in possession of the Property. All expenses incurred by the receiver or his agents shall constitute a part of the Indebtedness.  Any revenues collected by the receiver shall be applied first to the expenses of the receivership, including 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 Indebtedness 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 Indebtedness has been discharged in full, or until title to the Property has passed after foreclosure sale and all applicable periods of redemption have expired.

 

15



 

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 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 Indebtedness. It is agreed, however, that the risk of accidental loss or damage to the Property is undertaken by Grantor and, except for Beneficiary’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, 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 any unearned premiums as a credit on the Indebtedness 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.

9.10                        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 Indebtedness, then the unsecured portion of the Indebtedness shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining and secured portion of the Indebtedness, and all payments made on the Indebtedness shall be considered to have been paid on and applied first to the complete payment of the unsecured portion of the Indebtedness.

 

9.11                        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 evidenced thereby, 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, if the Note has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded 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, 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 indebtedness 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 indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness 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 made by Beneficiary to Grantor pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

 

9.12                        Obligations Binding Upon Grantor’s Successors.  This Deed of Trust is binding upon Grantor and Grantor’s 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

 

21



 

in this Deed of Trust shall be joint and several obligations of Grantor and Grantor’s successors and assigns

 

9.13                        Governing Laws. The substantive laws of the State of Colorado shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement, and interpretation of this Deed of Trust.
