(A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the Personalty Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and as fully and completely as though Beneficiary were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Trustors expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Beneficiary deems necessary or useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the Personalty Collateral and Beneficiarys security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Deed of Trust, all at least as fully and effectively as Trustor might do, including, without limitation, the filing and prosecuting of registration and transfer applications with the appropriate federal, state, local or other agencies or authorities with respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions and processes, upon written notice to Trustor, the exercise of voting rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if Beneficiary so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation of assets of the issuer of any such securities, and the execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Personalty Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Personalty Collateral; and
(B) to the extent that Trustors authorization given above is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without Trustors signature, or a photocopy of this Deed of Trust in substitution for a financing statement, as Beneficiary may deem appropriate and to execute in Trustors name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require Trustors signature.
(ii) Ratification by Trustor. To the extent permitted by law, Trustor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
(iii) No Duty on Beneficiary. The powers conferred on Beneficiary hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Personalty Collateral and shall not impose any
13
duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Beneficiary shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Trustor for any act or failure to act, except for Beneficiarys own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(d) None of the Personalty Collateral constitutes, or is the proceeds of, farm products as defined in Section 9-102(a)(34) of the Uniform Commercial Code. Trustor holds no commercial tort claims with respect to the Property. Trustor has at all times operated its business in compliance with all applicable provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
ARTICLE V Default |
5.1 Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default
(Event of Default) hereunder.
(a) | An Event of Default under the Bridge Loan Agreement; |
(b) | Any failure by Trustor to perform any obligation hereunder not involving |
the payment of money, or to comply with any other term or condition applicable to Trustor hereunder and the expiration of thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure by Beneficiary to Trustor, unless cured within such thirty (30) day period, or if not curable within such thirty (30) day period, Trustor shall have initiated such cure within such thirty (30) day period, and thereafter shall have diligently and continuously pursued such cure until complete, but in no event shall such cure period extend more than sixty (60) days after such written notice.
ARTICLE VI Beneficiarys Rights |
6.1 | Rights to Realty Collateral Upon Default. |
(a) Operation of Property by Beneficiary. Upon the occurrence and during | |
the continuation of an Event of Default or at any time thereafter, and in addition to all other rights of Beneficiary, Beneficiary shall have the following rights and powers (but no obligation):
(i) To enter upon and take possession of any of the Realty Collateral and exclude Trustor therefrom;
(ii) To hold, use, administer, manage and operate the Realty Collateral to the extent that Trustor could do so, and without any liability to Trustor in connection with such operations; and
(iii) To the extent that Trustor could do so, to collect, receive and receipt for all Products produced and sold from the Realty Collateral, to make repairs, to purchase machinery and equipment, to conduct workover operations, to drill additional wells, and to exercise every power, right and privilege of Trustor with respect to the Realty Collateral.
14
Beneficiary may designate [any] person, firm, corporation or other entity to act on its behalf in exercising the foregoing rights and powers. When and if the expenses of such operation and development (including costs of unsuccessful workover operations or additional wells) have been paid, and the Obligations have been paid, the Realty Collateral shall be returned to Trustor (providing there has been no foreclosure sale).
(b) Judicial Proceedings. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or at any time thereafter during the continuation thereof, the Trustee and/or Beneficiary, in lieu of or in addition to exercising the power of sale hereafter given, may proceed by a suit or suits, in equity or at law (i) for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, (ii) for the appointment of a receiver whether there is then pending any foreclosure hereunder or the sale of the Realty Collateral, or (iii) for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy; and further, in lieu of the non-judicial power of sale hereafter given for Collateral, the Trustee may proceed by suit for a sale of the Realty Collateral as a mortgage.
(c) After the lapse of such time as may then be required by Utah Code Annotated Sec. 57-1-24 or other applicable law following the recordation of the notice of default, and notice of default and notice of sale having been given as then required by Utah Code Annotated Sec. 57-1-25 and Sec. 57-1-26 or other applicable law, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) on the date and at the time and place designated in the notice of sale, in such order as Beneficiary may determine (but subject to Trustors statutory right under Utah Code Annotated Sec. 57-1-27 to direct the order in which the property, if consisting of several known lots or parcels, shall be sold), at public auction to the highest bidder, the purchase price payable in lawful money of the United States at the time of sale or on such other terms as are set forth in the notice of sale. The person conducting the sale may, for any cause deemed expedient, postpone the sale from time to time until it shall be completed and, in every such case, notice of postponement shall be given by public declaration thereof by such person at the time and place last appointed for the sale; provided, if the sale is postponed for longer than forty-five (45) days beyond the date designated in the notice of sale, notice of the time, date, and place of sale shall be given in the same manner as the original notice of sale as required by Utah Code Annotated Sec. 57-1-27. Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser a Trustees Deed, in accordance with Utah Code Annotated Sec. 57-1-28, conveying the Property so sold, but without any covenant of warranty, express or implied. The recitals in the Trustees Deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Beneficiary, may bid at the sale. Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale as follows:
First: To the reasonable out-of-pocket and documented costs and expenses of exercising the power of sale and of the sale, including the payment of Trustees and attorneys reasonable fees actually incurred not to exceed the amount which may be provided for in the Deed of Trust.
Second: To payment of the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust.
Third: The balance, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled to the proceeds, or Trustee, in the Trustees discretion, may deposit the balance of the proceeds with the
15
clerk of the district court of the county in which the sale took place, in accordance with
Utah Code Annotated Sec. 57-1-29.
Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this subsection (c), whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, the Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Property, whether by payment of cash or by credit bid in accordance with Utah Code Annotated Sec. 57-1-28(1)(b). In the event of a successful credit bid, Beneficiary shall make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Obligations of Trustor secured by this Deed of Trust such credit bid amount. Beneficiary, upon so acquiring the Property or any part thereof, shall be entitled to hold, lease, rent, operate, manage, and sell the same in any manner provided by applicable laws.
(d) Certain Aspects of Sale. Beneficiary will have the right to become the purchaser at any foreclosure sale and to credit the then outstanding balance of the Obligations against the amount payable by Beneficiary as purchaser at such sale. Statements of fact or other recitals contained in any conveyance to any purchaser or purchasers at any sale made hereunder will conclusively establish the occurrence of an Event of Default, any acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations, the advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner provided herein, the appointment of any successor-Trustee hereunder and the truth and accuracy of all other matters stated therein. Trustor does hereby ratify and confirm all legal acts that the Trustee may do in carrying out the Trustees duties and obligations under this Deed of Trust, and Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary to be the attorney-in-fact of Trustor and in the name and on behalf of Trustor to execute and deliver any deeds, transfers, conveyances, assignments, assurances and notices which Trustor ought to execute and deliver and do and perform any and all such acts and things which Trustor ought to do and perform under the covenants herein contained and generally to use the name of Trustor in the exercise of all or any of the powers hereby conferred on Trustee. Upon any sale, whether under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, it shall not be necessary for Trustee or any public officer acting under execution or by order of court, to have physically present or constructively in his possession any of the Collateral, and Trustor hereby agrees to deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date of sale the Collateral purchased by such purchasers at such sale and if it should be impossible or impracticable to make actual delivery of such Collateral, then the title and right of possession to such Collateral shall pass to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale as completely as if the same had been actually present and delivered.
(e) Receipt to Purchaser. Upon any sale made under the power of sale herein granted, the receipt of the Trustee will be sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for its purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, will not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Trustee, be obligated to see to the application of such purchase money or be responsible for any loss, misapplication or non-application thereof.
(f) Effect of Sale. Any sale or sales of the Realty Collateral will operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of Trustor in and to the premises and the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) sold, and will be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Trustor, Trustors successors or assigns, and against any and all persons claiming or who shall thereafter claim all or any of the Realty
16
Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) sold by, through or under Trustor, or Trustors successors or assigns. Nevertheless, if requested by the Trustee so to do, Trustor shall join in the execution and delivery of all proper conveyances, assignments and transfers of the Property so sold. The purchaser or purchasers at the foreclosure sale will receive as incident to his, her, its or their own ownership, immediate possession of the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) purchased and Trustor agrees that if Trustor retains possession of the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Trustor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser or purchasers and will be subject to eviction and removal by any lawful means, with or without judicial intervention, and all damages by reason thereof are hereby expressly waived by Trustor.
(g) Trustors Waiver of Appraisement and Marshalling. Trustor agrees, to the full extent that Trustor may lawfully so agree, that Trustor will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any manner whatever claim the benefit of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law, now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, the absolute sale of the Collateral, including the Realty Collateral (or any Fixture Collateral), or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale made pursuant to this Deed of Trust or pursuant to the decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; and Trustor, for Trustor and all who may claim through or under Trustor, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws and, to the extent that Trustor may lawfully do so under any applicable law, any and all rights to have the Collateral, including the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral), marshaled upon any foreclosure of the Lien hereof or sold in inverse order of alienation. Trustor agrees that all prerequisites to the validity of the sale shall be conclusively presumed to have been satisfied.
(h) Action for Deficiency. Subject to provisions of Utah Code Annotated Sec. 57-1-32, in any action for a deficiency after a foreclosure under this Deed of Trust, if any person against whom recovery is sought requests the court in which the action is pending to determine the fair market value of the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral), as of the date of the foreclosure sale, the following shall be the basis of the courts determination of fair market value: (i) the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) shall be valued as is and in its condition as of the date of foreclosure, and no assumption of increased value because of post-foreclosure repairs, refurbishment, restorations or improvements shall be made; (ii) any adverse effect on the marketability of title because of the foreclosure or because of any other title condition not existing as of the date of this Deed of Trust shall be considered; (iii) the valuation of the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a prompt resale of the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) for cash within a six month-period after foreclosure; (iv) although the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) may be disposed of more quickly by the foreclosure purchaser, the gross valuation of the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) as of the date of foreclosure shall be discounted for a hypothetical reasonable holding period (not to exceed 6 months) at a monthly rate equal to the average monthly interest rate on the loan as provided in the Bridge Loan Agreement for the twelve months before the date of foreclosure; (v) the gross valuation of the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) as of the date of foreclosure shall be further discounted and reduced by reasonable estimated costs of disposition, including brokerage commissions, title policy premiums, environmental assessment and clean-up costs, tax and assessment, prorations, costs to comply with legal requirements and attorneys fees; (vi)
17
expert opinion testimony shall be considered only from a licensed appraiser certified by the State of Utah and, to the extent permitted under Utah law, a member of the Appraisal Institute, having at least five years experience in appraising property similar to the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) in the county where the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) is located, and who has conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) taking into considerations the factors set forth in this Deed of Trust; no expert opinion testimony shall be considered without such written appraisal; (vii) evidence of comparable sales shall be considered only if also included in the expert opinion testimony and written appraisal referred to in the preceding paragraph; and (viii) an affidavit executed by Beneficiary to the effect that the foreclosure bid accepted by Trustee was equal to or greater than the value of the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) determined by Beneficiary based upon the factors and methods set forth in subparagraphs (i) through (vii) above before the foreclosure shall constitute prima facie evidence that the foreclosure bid was equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Realty Collateral (and any Fixture Collateral) on the foreclosure date.
6.2 Rights to Personalty Collateral Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or at any time thereafter during the continuation thereof, Beneficiary or the Trustee may proceed against the Personalty Collateral in accordance with the remedies provided for in Section 10 of the Security Agreement.
6.3 Rights to Fixture Collateral Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or at any time thereafter during the continuation thereof, Beneficiary may elect to treat the Fixture Collateral as either Realty Collateral or as Personalty Collateral (but not both) and proceed to exercise such rights as apply to the type of Collateral selected.
6.4 Account Debtors. Beneficiary may, in its discretion, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, notify any account debtor to make payments directly to Beneficiary and contact account debtors directly to verify information furnished by Trustor. Beneficiary shall not have any obligation to preserve any rights against prior parties. To the extent required by contract or law, Trustor hereby instructs all such account debtors to abide by any instructions of the Beneficiary hereunder, and Trustor does hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless such account debtors for complying with payment instructions of the Beneficiary with respect to the payment of amount by such account debtor directly to Beneficiary.
6.5 Costs and Expenses. All sums advanced or reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Beneficiary (either by it directly or on its behalf by the Trustee or any receiver appointed hereunder) in protecting and enforcing its rights hereunder shall constitute a demand obligation owing by Trustor to Beneficiary as part of the Obligations. Trustor hereby agrees to repay such sums on demand plus interest thereon from the date of the advance or incurrence until reimbursement of Beneficiary at the rate of interest as set forth in the Bridge Loan Agreement.
6.6 Set-Off. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary shall have the right to set-off any funds of Trustor in the possession of Beneficiary against any amounts then due by Trustor to Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust.
18
6.7 Personal Property. It is the express understanding and intent of the parties that as to any personal property interests subject to Article 9a of the Utah Uniform Commercial Code, Beneficiary, during the continuation of an Event of Default, may proceed under the Utah Uniform Commercial Code or may proceed as to both real and personal property interests in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust and its rights and remedies in respect of real property, and treat both real and personal property interests as one parcel or package of security as permitted by Utah Annotated Code Sec. 70A-9a-601 or other applicable law.

ARTICLE VIII Miscellaneous |
8.1 Successor Trustees. The Trustee may resign in writing addressed to Beneficiary or be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in writing duly executed by Beneficiary. In case of the death, resignation or removal of the Trustee, a successor Trustee may be appointed by Beneficiary by instrument of substitution complying with any applicable requirements of law, and in the absence of any requirement, without other formality other than an appointment and designation in writing. The appointment and designation will vest in the named successor Trustee all the estate and title of the Trustee in all of the Collateral and all of the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties hereby conferred upon the Trustee. All references herein to the Trustee will be deemed to refer to any successor Trustee from time to time acting hereunder.
8.2 Advances by Beneficiary or The Trustee. Each and every covenant of Trustor herein contained shall be performed and kept by Trustor solely at Trustors expense. If Trustor fails to perform or keep any of the covenants of whatsoever kind or nature contained in this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary (either by it directly or on its behalf by the Trustee or any receiver appointed hereunder) may, following ten (10) business days prior written notice to Trustor, but will not be obligated to, make advances to perform the same on Trustors behalf, and Trustor hereby agrees to repay such sums and any reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys fees incurred in connection therewith on demand plus interest thereon from the date of the advance until reimbursement of Beneficiary at the rate of interest set forth in the Bridge Loan Agreement. In addition, Trustor hereby agrees to repay on demand any reasonable, out-of-pocket and documented costs, expenses and attorneys fees incurred by Beneficiary or the Trustee which are to be obligations of Trustor pursuant to, or allowed by, the terms of this Deed of Trust, including such reasonable, out-of-pocket and documented costs, expenses and attorneys fees incurred
19
pursuant to Section 3.1(h), Section 6.5 or Section 8.3 hereof, plus interest thereon from the date of the advance by Beneficiary or the Trustee until reimbursement of Beneficiary or the Trustee, respectively, at the rate of interest set forth in the Bridge Loan Agreement. Such amounts will be in addition to any sum of money which may, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the written instruments comprising part of the Obligations, be due and owing. No such advance will be deemed to relieve Trustor from any default hereunder.
8.3 Defense of Claims. Trustor shall promptly notify Beneficiary in writing of the commencement of any legal proceedings affecting Trustors title to the Collateral or Beneficiarys Lien or security interest in the Collateral, or any part thereof, and shall take such action, employing attorneys agreeable to Beneficiary, as may be necessary to preserve Trustors, the Trustees and Beneficiarys rights affected thereby. If Trustor fails or refuses to adequately, in the sole judgment of Beneficiary, defend Trustors, the Trustees or Beneficiarys rights to the Collateral, the Trustee or Beneficiary may take such action on behalf of and in the name of Trustor and at Trustors expense. Moreover, Beneficiary or the Trustee on behalf of Beneficiary may take such independent action in connection therewith as they may in their sole discretion deem proper, including the right to employ independent counsel and to intervene in any suit affecting the Collateral. All reasonable costs, expenses and out-of-pocket attorneys fees incurred by Beneficiary or the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.3 or in connection with the defense by Beneficiary of any claims, demands or litigation relating to Trustor, the Collateral or the transactions contemplated in this Deed of Trust shall be paid by Trustor on demand plus interest thereon from the date of the advance by Beneficiary or the Trustee until reimbursement of Beneficiary or the Trustee, respectively, at the Default Rate under the Bridge Loan Agreement.
8.4 Termination. If all the Obligations are paid in full, and the covenants herein contained are well and fully performed then all of the Collateral will revert to Trustor and the entire estate, right, title and interest of the Trustee and Beneficiary will thereupon cease; and Beneficiary in such case shall, upon the request of Trustor and the payment by Trustor of all attorneys fees and other expenses, deliver to Trustor proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of this Deed of Trust and releasing all Liens in connection herewith. In addition, if applicable pursuant to the Collateral release provisions of the Security Agreement, Beneficiary shall upon request of Trustor and the payment by Trustor of all attorneys fees and other expenses, deliver to Trustor proper instruments releasing all Liens placed upon such Geothermal Property as described in such Security Agreement.
8.5 Renewals, Amendments and Other Security. Without notice or consent of Trustor, renewals and extensions of the written instruments constituting part or all of the Obligations may be given at any time and amendments may be made to agreements relating to any part of such written instruments or the Collateral. Beneficiary may take or hold other security for the Obligations without notice to or consent of Trustor. The acceptance of this Deed of Trust by Beneficiary shall not waive or impair any other security Beneficiary may have or hereafter acquire to secure the payment of the Obligations nor shall the taking of any such additional security waive or impair the Lien and security interests herein granted. The Trustee or Beneficiary may resort first to such other security or any part thereof, or first to the security herein given or any part thereof, or from time to time to either or both, even to the partial or complete abandonment of either security, and such action will not be a waiver of any rights
20
conferred by this Deed of Trust. This Deed of Trust may not be amended, waived or modified except in a written instrument executed by both Trustor and Beneficiary.
8.6 Security Agreement, Financing Statement and Fixture Filing; As-Extracted Collateral Filing. This Deed of Trust will be deemed to be and may be enforced from time to time as an assignment, chattel mortgage, contract, deed of trust, financing statement, real estate mortgage, or security agreement, and from time to time as any one or more thereof if appropriate under applicable state law. As a financing statement, this Deed of Trust is intended to cover all Personalty Collateral including Trustors interest in all Products as and after they are extracted and all accounts arising from the sale thereof at the wellhead. THIS DEED OF TRUST SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS A FINANCING STATEMENT FILED AS A FIXTURE FILING WITH RESPECT TO FIXTURE COLLATERAL INCLUDED WITHIN THE COLLATERAL. This Deed of Trust shall be filed in the real estate records of any county or counties in the state in which any part of the Realty Collateral and Fixture Collateral is located, as well as the Uniform Commercial Code records of the Secretary of State or other appropriate office of the state where the Trustor is registered as a limited liability company. At Beneficiarys request Trustor authorizes and, if necessary, shall execute, financing statements covering the Personalty Collateral, including all Products sold at the wellhead, and Fixture Collateral, which financing statements may be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records of the Secretary of State or other appropriate office of the state in which any of the Collateral is located or where Trustor is registered as a limited liability company. Furthermore, Trustor hereby irrevocably authorizes Beneficiary and any affiliate, employee or agent thereof, at any time and from time to time, to file in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any financing statement or document and amendments thereto, without the signature of Trustor where permitted by law, in order to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted under this Deed of Trust. A photographic or other reproduction of this Deed of Trust shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

8.7 Unenforceable or Inapplicable Provisions.

No delay or omission by the Trustee or by Beneficiary in the exercise of any right, power or remedy will impair any such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, power or remedy then or thereafter existing.
21
8.9 Waiver by Beneficiary. Any and all covenants in this Deed of Trust may from time to time by instrument in writing by Beneficiary, be waived to such extent and in such manner as the Trustee or Beneficiary may desire, but no such waiver will ever affect or impair either the Trustees or Beneficiarys rights hereunder, except to the extent specifically stated in such written instrument.

8.18 Usury Not Intended. It is the intent of Trustor and Beneficiary in the execution and performance of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents to contract in
23
strict compliance with applicable usury laws governing the Obligations including such applicable usury laws of the State of Utah and the United States of America as are from time-to-time in effect. In furtherance thereof, Beneficiary and Trustor stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law and that for purposes hereof interest shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts taken, reserved, charged, received or paid on the Obligations, include amounts which by applicable law are deemed interest which would exceed the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and Beneficiary shall credit the same on the principal of the Obligations (or if the Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to Trustor). In the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of any election of Beneficiary resulting from any Event of Default, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Deed of Trust or other Loan Documents shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration and prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Obligations or, if the Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded to Trustor. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law, Trustor and Beneficiary shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal part during the period of the full stated term of the Obligations, all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law of any kind contracted for, charged, received or reserved in connection with the Obligation.
