(f) Beneficiary may enter upon the Land, take possession of the Property and remove the Accessories or any part thereof, with or without judicial process, and, in connection therewith, without any responsibility or liability on the part of Beneficiary, take possession of any property

The Sale of any part of the Accessories shall not exhaust Beneficiary’s power of sale, but Sales may be made from time to time until the Obligation is paid and performed in full. Reasonable notification of the time and place of any public Sale pursuant to this Subsection, or reasonable notification of the time after which any private Sale is to be made pursuant to this Subsection, shall be sent to Grantor and to any other person entitled under the Code (as hereinafter defined) to notice; provided that if the Accessories or part thereof being sold are perishable, or threaten to decline rapidly in value, or are of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Beneficiary may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Accessories, or part thereof, without notification, advertisement or other notice of any kind. It is agreed that notice sent or given not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the taking of the action to which the notice relates, is reasonable notification and notice for the purposes of this Subsection.

(n) Beneficiary may apply the reserves, if any, required by Section 6.3 hereof toward payment of the Obligation.
Section 3.3. Beneficiary as Purchaser. If Beneficiary is the purchaser of the Property or any part thereof, at any sale thereof, whether such sale be under the power of sale hereinabove vested in Trustee or upon any other foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereof, or otherwise, Beneficiary shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the Property so purchased, free of the liens and security interests hereof, unless the sale was made subject to an unmatured portion of the Obligation and Beneficiary elects that no merger occur.
Section 3.4. Other Rights of Beneficiary. Should any part of the Property come into the possession of Beneficiary, whether before or after Default, Beneficiary may use or operate the Property for the purpose of preserving it or its value, pursuant to the order of a court of appropriate jurisdiction or in accordance with any other rights held by Beneficiary in respect of the Property. Grantor covenants promptly to reimburse and pay to Beneficiary on demand, at the place where the Note is payable, the amount of all reasonable expenses (including the cost of any insurance, taxes or other charges) incurred by Beneficiary in connection with Beneficiary’s custody, preservation, use or operation of the Property, together with interest thereon from the date incurred by Beneficiary at the rate provided in the Note for past-due principal, and all such expenses, costs, taxes, interest and other charges shall be and become a part of the Obligation. It is agreed, however, that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on 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 insurance in force is adequate as to amount or as to the risks insured.
Section 3.5 Possession After Foreclosure. If the liens or security interests hereof shall be foreclosed by power of Trustee’s sale, by judicial action or otherwise, the purchaser at any such sale shall receive, as an incident to Trustee’s ownership, immediate possession of the property purchased, and if Grantor or Grantor’s successors shall hold possession of said property or any part thereof, subsequent to foreclosure, Grantor and Grantor’s successors shall be considered as tenants at sufferance of the purchaser at foreclosure sale (without limitation of other rights or remedies, at a reasonable rental per day, due and payable daily, based upon the value of the portion of the Property so occupied), and anyone occupying such portion of the Property after demand is made for possession thereof shall be guilty of forcible detainer and shall be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law, and all damages by reason thereof are hereby expressly waived.
Section 3.6. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from any sale, lease or other disposition made pursuant to this Article, or the proceeds from the surrender of any insurance policies pursuant to Subsection 3.2(i) hereof, or any rental collected by Beneficiary from the Property, or the reserves required by Section 6.3 hereof, or sums received pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, or proceeds from insurance which Beneficiary elects to apply to the Obligation pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, shall be applied by Trustee, or by Beneficiary, as the case may be, as follows: first, to the payment of all expenses of advertising, selling and conveying the Property or part thereof, including reasonable

If Beneficiary should institute a suit for the collection of the Note and for a foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereof, Beneficiary may, at any time before the entry of a final judgment in said suit, dismiss the same and require Trustee to sell the Property or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust.
Section 3.8. Payment of Fees. If the Note or any other part of the Obligation shall be collected or enforced by legal proceedings, whether through a probate or bankruptcy court or otherwise, or shall be placed in the hands of an attorney for collection after maturity, whether matured by the expiration of time or by an option given to the beneficiary to mature same, or if Beneficiary becomes a party to any suit where this Deed of Trust or the Property or any part thereof is involved, Grantor agrees to pay Beneficiary’s attorneys’ and collection fees, and such fees shall be and become a part of the Obligation.
Section 3.9. Indemnification of Trustee. Except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission or error of judgment. Trustee may rely on any document believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. All money received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust, but need not be segregated (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall not be liable for interest thereon. Grantor shall indemnify Trustee against all liability and expenses which Trustee may incur in the performance of Trustee’s duties hereunder.
Section 3.10. Substitute Trustee. Beneficiary may appoint a substitute Trustee (a) if Trustee herein named or any substitute Trustee shall die, resign, or fail, refuse or be unable, for any reason, to make any such sale or to perform any of the trusts herein declared; or (b) at the option of Beneficiary from time to time as often and whenever Beneficiary prefers and with or without any reason or cause. Each appointment shall be in writing, but without the necessity of recordation, notice to Grantor, or any other action or formality. Each substitute trustee so appointed shall thereupon by such appointment become Trustee and succeed to all the estates, titles, rights, powers, trusts and duties of predecessor Trustee. Any such appointment may be executed by Beneficiary or any authorized representative of Beneficiary, and such appointment shall be presumed conclusively to have been executed with due and proper authority. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Beneficiary is a corporation, bank or association, of any type or character, such appointment may be executed in its behalf by any officer of Beneficiary and shall be presumed conclusively to have been executed with due and proper authority without necessity of proof of any
| DEED OF TRUST (LONG FORM) | 15 | |||
| Rev. July 2000 |
action by the board of directors or any superior officer. Wherever herein the word “Trustee” is used, the same shall mean the duly appointed trustee or substitute trustee hereunder at the time in question. Trustee may resign by written notice to Beneficiary.
Section 3.11. WAIVER OF JUDICIAL ACTION. BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELEASES ANY REQUIREMENT OR OBLIGATION THAT BENEFICIARY OR THE TRUSTEE PRESENT EVIDENCE OR OTHERWISE PROCEED BEFORE ANY COURT, CLERK OR OTHER JUDICIAL OR QUASI-JUDICIAL BODY AS A CONDITION OR OTHERWISE INCIDENT TO THE EXERCISE OF THE POWERS OF SALE CONTAINED IN THIS DEED OF TRUST AND IN §55-59 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA (1950), AS AMENDED, EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN.
ARTICLE IV
SECURITY AGREEMENT
This Deed of Trust is also a security agreement between Grantor, as debtor, and Beneficiary, as secured party. Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary and Beneficiary’s successors and assigns, a security interest in those portions of the Property which constitute Accessories and each and every part thereof, and in all proceeds from the sale, lease or other disposition thereof, and in all sums, proceeds, funds and reserves described or referred to in Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 hereof. However, the grant of a security interest in proceeds shall not be deemed to authorize any action otherwise prohibited herein. The security interest created hereby is specifically intended to cover and include all leases of the Property (in this Article IV, together with all amendments and supplements thereto made as provided therein, called the “Leases”), between Grantor (or parties acting on behalf of Grantor), as lessor or as successor to or assignee from the lessor, and tenants which occupy the Property under the Leases, including all extended terms and all extensions and renewals of the terms thereof, as well as any amendments to or replacements of said Leases, together with all the right, title and interest of Grantor, as lessor thereunder, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the present and continuing right to make claim for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all of the rents, income, revenues, issues and profits and moneys payable as damages or in lieu of rent and moneys payable as the purchase price of the Property or any part thereof or of awards or claims for money and other sums of money payable or receivable thereunder howsoever payable, and to bring actions and proceedings thereunder or for the enforcement thereof, and to do any and all things which Grantor or any lessor is or may become entitled to do under the Leases, all as assigned to Beneficiary in accordance with Article V hereof; provided, that this provision and said Article V shall not impair or diminish any obligation of Grantor under the Leases, nor shall any obligation be imposed upon Beneficiary. In addition to Beneficiary’s rights hereunder or otherwise, Beneficiary shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the Virginia Uniform Commercial Code, as amended (the “Code”). Grantor, from time to time, upon each request of Beneficiary, shall promptly (a) execute and deliver to Beneficiary all financing statements as required by Beneficiary in order to establish or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of the security interest with respect to the Accessories or fixtures; (b) pay to Beneficiary on demand all costs of preparation and
| DEED OF TRUST (LONG FORM) | 16 | |||
| Rev. July 2000 |
filing of financing statements pursuant hereto and all costs of Code searches reasonably required by Beneficiary; and (c) give to Beneficiary a certificate in form satisfactory to Beneficiary listing all trade names of Grantor and under which Grantor operates or intends to operate the Property or any part thereof, and give to Beneficiary advance written notice of any proposed change of any such trade name and of any change of name (or trade name or assumed name), identity or structure of Grantor. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Deed of Trust or of a financing statement executed pursuant hereto is sufficient as a financing statement. This Deed of Trust is, without limitation, intended to be a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with respect to the portions of the Property which are or are to become fixtures, and as mineral, crop and timber filing. The address of Grantor (debtor) is set forth on the first page hereof and the address of Beneficiary (secured party) from whom information concerning the security interest may be obtained, is set forth in Section 1.1 hereof. Grantor is the record owner of the Land, the Improvements and the Accessories.
ARTICLE V
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, LEASES, PROFITS,
INCOME, CONTRACTS AND BONDS
Section 5.1. Assignment of Leases. Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary all existing and future leases, including, without limitation, all subleases thereof, and any and all extensions, renewals, modifications and replacements thereof, upon any part of the Property (collectively, the “Leases”). Grantor hereby further assigns to Beneficiary all guaranties of tenants’ performance under the Leases. Prior to a Default, Grantor shall have the right, without joinder of Beneficiary, to enforce the Leases, unless Beneficiary directs otherwise.
Section 5.2. Assignment of Rents. Grantor does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assign, transfer and set over to Beneficiary all rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues, profits and proceeds to be derived from the Property, including, without limitation, the immediate and continuing right to collect and receive all of the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues, profits and other sums of money that may now or at any time hereafter become due and payable to Grantor under the terms of any leases now or hereafter covering the Property, or any part thereof, including, but not limited to, minimum rents, additional rents, percentage rents, deficiency rents and liquidated damages following Default, all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance covering the loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by destruction or damage to the Property, and all of Grantor’s rights to recover monetary amounts from any tenant in bankruptcy, including, without limitation, rights of recovery for use and occupancy and damage claims arising out of lease defaults, including rejections, under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other present or future federal or state insolvency, bankruptcy or similar law, together with any sums of money that may now or at any time hereafter become due and payable to Grantor by virtue of any and all royalties, overriding royalties, bonuses, delay rentals and any other amount of any kind or character arising under any and all present and future oil, gas and mining leases covering the Property or any part thereof (collectively, the “Rents”); and all proceeds and other

amounts paid or owing to Grantor under or pursuant to any and all contracts and bonds relating to the construction, erection or renovation of the Property; subject however to a license hereby granted by Beneficiary to Grantor to collect and receive all of the foregoing (such license evidenced by Beneficiary’s acceptance of this Deed of Trust), subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the assignment in this Paragraph is an absolute, unconditional and presently effective assignment and not merely a security interest; provided, however, upon the occurrence of a Default hereunder or upon the occurrence of any event or circumstance which with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a Default hereunder, such license shall automatically and immediately terminate and Grantor shall hold all Rents paid to Grantor thereafter in trust for the use and benefit of Beneficiary and Beneficiary shall have the right, power and authority, whether or not it takes possession of the Property, to seek enforcement of any such lease, contract or bond and to demand, collect, receive, sue for and recover in its own name any and all of the above described amounts assigned hereby and to apply the sum(s) collected, first to the payment of expenses incident to the collection of the same, and the balance to the payment of the Obligation; provided further, however, that Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have taken possession of the Property except on the exercise of its option to do so, evidenced by its demand and overt act for such purpose. It shall not be necessary for Beneficiary to institute any type of legal proceedings or take any other action whatsoever to enforce the assignment provisions in this Section 5.2.

| (c) | unless otherwise provided herein, no Rents have been or will be assigned, mortgaged or pledged; |
| (d) | no Rents have been or will be anticipated, waived, released, discounted, set off or compromised; and |

| DEED OF TRUST (LONG FORM) | 18 | |||
| Rev. July 2000 |

| (c) | enforce the tenant’s obligations under the Leases; |
| (d) | defend, at Grantor’s expense, any proceeding pertaining to the Leases, including, if Beneficiary so requests, any such proceeding to which Beneficiary is a party; and |

Section 5.5. Prior Approval for Actions Affecting Leases. Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary:
| (a) | receive or collect Rents more than one month in advance; |
| (b) | encumber or assign future Rents; |
| (c) | waive or release any material obligation of any tenant under the Leases; |
| (d) | cancel, terminate or modify any of the Leases; cause or permit any cancellation, termination or surrender of any of the Leases; or commence any proceedings for dispossession of any tenant under any of the Leases, except upon default by the tenant thereunder; |
| (e) | renew or extend any of the Leases, except pursuant to terms in existing Leases; |
| (f) | permit any assignment of the Leases; or |
| (g) | enter into any Leases after the date hereof. |
Section 5.6. Settlement for Termination. Grantor agrees that no settlement for damages for termination of any of the Leases under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or under any other federal, state or local statute, shall be made without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, and any check in payment of such damages will be made payable to both Grantor and Beneficiary. Grantor hereby assigns any such payment to Beneficiary to be applied to the Obligation as Beneficiary may elect and agrees to endorse any check for such payment to the order of Beneficiary.
| DEED OF TRUST (LONG FORM) | 19 | |||
| Rev. July 2000 |
Section 5.7. Beneficiary in Possession. Beneficiary’s acceptance of this assignment shall not, prior to entry upon and taking possession of the Property by Beneficiary, be deemed to constitute Beneficiary a “mortgagee in possession,” nor obligate Beneficiary to appear in or defend any proceedings relating to any of the Leases or to the Property, take any action hereunder, expend any money, incur any expenses, or perform any obligation or liability under the Leases, or assume any obligation for any deposits delivered to Grantor by any tenant and not delivered to Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall not be liable for any injury or damage to any person or property in or about the Property.
Section 5.8. Appointment of Attorney. Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, empowering Beneficiary to subordinate any Leases to this Deed of Trust.

All amounts indemnified against hereunder, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, if paid by Beneficiary shall bear interest at the maximum lawful rate and shall be payable by Grantor in accordance with Section 1.1 hereof. The foregoing indemnities shall not terminate upon the foreclosure, release or other termination of this Deed of Trust but will survive foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure and the repayment of the Obligation and the discharge and release of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents.
Section 5.10. Records. Upon request by Beneficiary, Grantor shall deliver to Beneficiary executed copies of all Leases and copies of all records relating thereto.
Section 5.11. Merger. There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates, created by the Leases, with the fee estate of the Land without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.
Section 5.12. Right to Rely. Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the tenants under the Leases to pay Rents to Beneficiary upon written demand by Beneficiary without further consent of Grantor, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement delivered by Beneficiary to the tenants. Any such payment to Beneficiary shall constitute payment to Grantor under the Leases. The provisions of this Paragraph are intended solely for the benefit of the tenants and shall never inure to the benefit of Grantor or any person claiming through or under Grantor, other than a tenant who has not received such notice. The assignment of Rents set forth in Section 5.2 is not contingent upon any notice or demand by Beneficiary to the tenants.

ARTICLE VI
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 6.1. Condemnation Proceeds. Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive any and all sums which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for the condemnation of the Property or any part thereof, for public or quasi-public use, or by virtue of private sale in lieu thereof, and any sums which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for damages caused by public works or construction on or near the Property. All such sums are hereby assigned to Beneficiary and Grantor shall, upon request of Beneficiary, make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all additional assignments and documents as may be necessary from time to time to enable Beneficiary to collect and receipt for any such sums. Beneficiary shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect, or exercise diligence in the collection of, any of such sums. Any sums received by Beneficiary as a result of condemnation shall be applied to installments on the Obligation in inverse order of maturity.
Section 6.2. Insurance Proceeds. The proceeds of any and all insurance upon the Property shall be collected by Beneficiary and Beneficiary shall have the option, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, to apply any proceeds so collected either to the restoration of the Property or to the liquidation of the Obligation.
Section 6.3. Reserve for Taxes, Assessments and Insurance Premiums. Upon Grantor’s failure to perform the covenants of this Deed of Trust concerning the delivery to Beneficiary of evidence of the payment of taxes and insurance premiums on the Property and upon written request by Beneficiary, Grantor shall create a fund or reserve for the payment of all insurance premiums, taxes and assessments against or affecting the Property by paying to Beneficiary, on the first day of each calendar month prior to the maturity of the Note, a sum equal to the premiums that will next become due and payable on the hazard insurance policies covering the Property or any part thereof, plus taxes and assessments next due on the Property or any part thereof as estimated by Beneficiary, less all sums paid previously to Beneficiary therefor divided by the number of months to elapse before one (1) month prior to the date when such premiums, taxes and assessments will become due; such sums to be held by Beneficiary without interest, unless interest is required by applicable law, for the purposes of paying such premiums, taxes and assessments. Any excess reserve shall, at the discretion of Beneficiary, be credited by Beneficiary on subsequent reserve payments or subsequent payments to be made on the Note by the maker thereof, and any deficiency shall be paid by Grantor to Beneficiary on or before the date when such premiums, taxes and assessments shall become delinquent. In the event there exists deficiency in such fund or reserve at any time when taxes, assessments or insurance premiums are due and payable, Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, advance the amount of such deficiency on behalf of Grantor and such amounts so advanced shall become a part of the Obligation, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the rate provided in the Note from the date of such advance through and including the date of repayment. Transfer of legal title to the Property shall automatically transfer the interest of Grantor in all sums deposited with Beneficiary under the provisions hereof or otherwise.
| DEED OF TRUST (LONG FORM) | 21 | |||
| Rev. July 2000 |
Section 6.4. Right to Accelerate Upon Transfer. If Grantor shall sell, convey, assign or transfer all or any part of the Property or any interest therein or any beneficial interest in Grantor, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s option, without demand, presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other notice, or any other action, all of which are hereby waived by Grantor and all other parties obligated in any manner on the Obligation, declare the Obligation to be immediately due and payable, which option may be exercised at any time following such sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer, and upon such declaration the entire unpaid balance of the Obligation shall be immediately due and payable. Beneficiary may, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion and at Grantor’s request, decide not to exercise said option, in which event Beneficiary’s forbearance may be predicated on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion require, including, but not limited to, Beneficiary’s approval of the transferee’s creditworthiness and management ability, the execution and delivery to Beneficiary by transferee prior to the sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of a written assumption agreement containing such terms as Beneficiary may require, including, but not limited to, a payment of a part of the principal amount of the Obligation, an increase in the rate of interest payable by the Obligation, the payment of an assumption fee, a modification of the term of the Obligation and such other terms as Beneficiary may require, or Beneficiary may require any of such modifications of the terms of the Obligation without requiring an assumption thereof by the transferee. Should the Property be sold, traded, transferred, assigned, exchanged or otherwise disposed of without the prior written consent of Beneficiary and should payment of any portion of the Obligation thereafter be accepted by Beneficiary, such acceptance shall not be deemed a waiver of the requirement of Beneficiary’s consent in writing thereto or with respect to any other sale, trade, transfer, assignment, exchange or other disposition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, said option shall not apply in case of: (a) sales or transfers of items of the Accessories which have become obsolete or worn beyond practical use and which have been replaced by adequate substitutes having a value equal to or greater than the replaced items when new.
Section 6.5. Subordinate Financing. If Grantor, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, executes or delivers any pledge, security agreement, mortgage or deed of trust covering all or any portion of the Property (hereinafter called “Subordinate Mortgage”), Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s option, which option may be exercised at any time following such pledge, security agreement, mortgage or deed of trust, without demand, presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other notice, or any other action, all of which are hereby waived by Grantor and all other parties obligated in any manner on the Obligation, declare the Obligation to be immediately due and payable. In the event of consent by Beneficiary to the granting of a Subordinate Mortgage, or in the event the above-described right of Beneficiary to declare the Obligation to be immediately due and payable upon the granting of a Subordinate Mortgage without the prior written consent of Beneficiary is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable under the provisions of any applicable law, Grantor will not execute or deliver any Subordinate Mortgage unless (i) it shall contain express covenants to the effect: (a) that the Subordinate Mortgage is in all respects unconditionally subject and subordinate to the lien and security interest evidenced by this Deed of Trust and each term and provision hereof; (b) that if any action or proceeding shall be instituted to foreclose the Subordinate Mortgage
| DEED OF TRUST (LONG FORM) | 22 | |||
| Rev. July 2000 |
(regardless of whether the same is a judicial proceeding or pursuant to a power of sale contained therein), no tenant of any portion of the Property will be named as a party defendant, nor will any action be taken with respect to the Property which would terminate any occupancy or tenancy of the Property without the prior written consent of Beneficiary; (c) that the rents and profits, if collected through a receiver or by the holder of the Subordinate Mortgage, shall be applied first to the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, including principal and interest due and owing on or to become due and owing on the Note and the other indebtedness secured hereby, and then to the payment of maintenance, operating charges, taxes, assessments, and disbursements incurred in connection with the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property; and (d) that if any action or proceeding shall be brought to foreclose the Subordinate Mortgage (regardless of whether the same is a judicial proceeding or pursuant to a power of sale contained therein), written notice of the commencement thereof will be given to Beneficiary contemporaneously with the commencement of such action or proceeding; and (ii) a copy thereof shall have been delivered to Beneficiary not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the execution of such Subordinate Mortgage.
Section 6.6. Environmental Matters; Compliance with Laws. Grantor warrants and represents to Beneficiary that (a) the occupancy, operation, and use of the Property shall not violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, or determination of any governmental authority or any board of fire underwriters (or other body exercising similar functions), or any restrictive covenant or deed restriction (of record or otherwise) affecting the Property, including, without limitation, applicable zoning ordinances and building codes, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, flood disaster laws and health and environmental laws and regulations (hereinafter sometimes collectively called the “Applicable Regulations”); (b) Grantor and any lessee of space from Grantor in the Property shall obtain all permits, licenses, or similar authorizations required by reason of any Applicable Regulations pertaining to health or the environment (hereinafter sometimes collectively called “Applicable Environmental Laws”), including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (“RCRA”), as each is amended from time to time; and (c) the use that Grantor intends to make, or intends to allow, of the Property will not result in the disposal of or release of any hazardous substance or solid waste onto or into the Property, or any part thereof, in violation of any Applicable Environmental Laws. The terms (as used in this Deed of Trust) “hazardous substance” and “release” have the meanings specified in CERCLA, and the terms “solid waste” and “disposal” (or “disposed”) have the meanings specified in RCRA. If either CERCLA or RCRA is amended to broaden the meaning of any term defined thereby, the broader meaning shall apply to this provision after the effective date of the amendment. Moreover, to the extent that Virginia law establishes a meaning for “hazardous substance”, “release”, “solid waste”, or “disposal” that is broader than that specified in either CERCLA or RCRA, the broader meaning shall apply.
Beneficiary (through its officers, employees and agents) at any reasonable time and from time to time, either prior to or after Default in this Deed of Trust or under the Note secured hereby, may employ persons (the “Site Reviewers”) to conduct environmental site assessments (“Site Assessments”) on the Property to determine whether or not there exists on the Property any
| DEED OF TRUST (LONG FORM) | 23 | |||
| Rev. July 2000 |
environmental condition which might result in any liability, cost or expense to the owner, occupier or operator of the Property arising under the Applicable Environmental Laws. The Site Assessments may be performed at any time or times, upon reasonable notice, and under reasonable conditions established by Beneficiary (so as not to unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Property). The Site Reviewers are authorized at their own risk to enter upon the Property and to perform above and below-the-ground testing (including, without limitation, taking of core samples) to determine environmental damage or presence of any hazardous substance or solid waste in, on or under the Property and such other tests as may be necessary or desirable, in the opinion of the Site Reviewers, to conduct Site Assessments. Grantor will supply to the Site Reviewers such historical and operational information available to Grantor regarding the Property as may be requested by the Site Reviewers to facilitate the Site Assessments and will make available for meetings with the Site Reviewers appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters.
Grantor shall indemnify, defend (with counsel selected by Beneficiary) and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against, and reimburse Beneficiary with respect to, any and all claims, demands, causes of action, loss, damage, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorney’s fees and court costs) of every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted against or incurred by Beneficiary at any time and from time to time by reason of or arising out of any violation of an Applicable Environmental Law and all matters arising out of acts, omissions, events, or circumstances relating to the Property (including, without limitation, the presence on the Property or release from or to the Property of hazardous substances or solid wastes disposed of or otherwise released and Grantor’s breach of any of its covenants, representations or indemnities under this provision), regardless of whether the act, omission, event, or circumstance constituted a violation of any Applicable Environmental Law at the time of the existence or occurrence.
Section 6.7. Appraisals. Upon written request of Beneficiary, Grantor agrees to reimburse Beneficiary for the full cost of narrative appraisals of the Property, such appraisals being required from time-to-time in Beneficiary’s sole discretion to re-evaluate the current value of the Property due to (a) a deterioration of Grantor’s revenue from the Property, (b) an increase in Grantor’s operating expenses for the Property, or (c) other events which would suggest a deterioration in the value of the Property. Each appraisal shall be ordered directly by Beneficiary from an appraiser satisfactory to Beneficiary and shall be in form and substance necessary to comply with all laws and regulations affecting Beneficiary. Grantor shall reimburse Beneficiary for any requested appraisal expense within thirty (30) days from the date of the written request by Beneficiary. Appraisals may be ordered by Beneficiary at any time in its sole discretion, but Grantor is required to reimburse Beneficiary for only one appraisal in any calendar year. Failure of Grantor to reimburse Beneficiary for any requested appraisal (not to exceed one appraisal in any twelve month period) shall constitute a Default under this Deed of Trust.

ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1. Release. If the Obligation is paid in full in accordance with the terms of this Deed of Trust, the Note and the Loan Documents, and if Grantor shall well and truly perform all of Grantor’s covenants contained herein, then this conveyance shall become null and void and be released at Grantor’s request and expense and Beneficiary shall have no further obligation to make advances under and pursuant to the provisions hereunder or in the Note.
Section 7.2. Rights Cumulative. Beneficiary shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, those granted by the Code and applicable to the Property or any portion thereof), and the same (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated for the Obligation or any part thereof, or against any one or more of them, or against the Property, at the sole discretion of Beneficiary, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Grantor that the exercise, discontinuance of the exercise of or failure to exercise any of the same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. All rights and remedies of Beneficiary hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall extend to any period after the initiation of foreclosure proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Property.
Section 7.3. Waiver. Any and all covenants in this Deed of Trust may, from time to time, by instrument in writing signed by Beneficiary and delivered to Grantor, be waived to such extent and in such manner as Beneficiary may desire, but no such waiver shall ever affect or impair Beneficiary’s rights, remedies, powers, privileges, liens, titles and security interests hereunder except to the extent so specifically stated in such written instrument. No waiver of any Default on the part of Grantor or a breach of any of the provisions of this Deed of Trust or of any Loan Document shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach, and no delay or omission in exercising or enforcing the rights and powers herein granted shall be construed as a waiver of such rights and powers, and likewise no exercise or enforcement of any rights or powers hereunder shall be held to exhaust such rights and powers, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time. No notice to or demand on Grantor in any case shall of itself entitle Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The granting of any consent or approval by Beneficiary shall be limited to the specific instance and shall not waive or exhaust the requirement of consent or approval in any other instance. Except as otherwise specified herein, in any instance hereunder where Beneficiary’s approval or consent is required or the exercise of Beneficiary’s judgment is required, the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be within the sole discretion of Beneficiary, and Beneficiary shall not, for any reason or to any extent, be required to grant such approval or consent or exercise such judgment in any particular manner regardless of the reasonableness of the request or of Beneficiary’s judgment.

| Rev. July 2000 |
Section 7.4. Payments. Remittances in payment of any part of the Obligation other than in the required amount in funds immediately available at the place where the Note is payable shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Beneficiary in funds immediately available at the place where the Note is payable (or such other place as Beneficiary, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, may have established by delivery of written notice thereof to Grantor) and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Beneficiary of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be a default.
Section 7.5. Exceptions to Covenants. Grantor shall not be deemed to be permitted to take any action or to fail to take any action, notwithstanding (a) that the action or omission may be permitted as an exception to any of the covenants or conditions contained herein, or (b) that obligations of Grantor or rights of Beneficiary are provided herein with respect to the action or omission (or the result thereof), if the action or omission would result in the breach of any other covenant or condition contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, nor shall Beneficiary be deemed to have consented to any such act or omission if the same would provide cause for acceleration of the Obligation.
Section 7.6. Change of Security. Any part of the Property may be released, regardless of consideration, by Beneficiary from time to time without impairing, subordinating or affecting in any way the lien, security interest and other rights hereof against the remainder. The lien, security interest and other rights granted hereby shall not be affected by any other security taken for the Obligation or any part thereof. The taking of additional security, or the extension, renewal or rearrangement of the Obligation or any part thereof, shall not release or impair the lien, security interest and other rights granted hereby, or affect the liability of any endorser or guarantor or improve the right of any junior lienholder; and this Deed of Trust, as well as any instrument given to secure any renewal, extension or rearrangement of the Obligation or any part thereof, shall be and remain a first and prior lien, except as otherwise provided herein, on all of the Property not expressly released until the Obligation is fully paid and performed.
Section 7.7. Controlling Agreement. The parties hereto intend to conform strictly to the applicable usury laws. All agreements between Grantor (and any other party liable for any part of the Obligation) and Beneficiary, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the Obligation or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by Beneficiary hereunder or otherwise exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever interest would otherwise be payable to Beneficiary in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Beneficiary shall be reduced automatically to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. If Beneficiary shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest under applicable law which would apart from this provision be in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the amount which would have been excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Obligation in inverse order of
| DEED OF TRUST (LONG FORM) | 26 | |||
| Rev. July 2000 |
maturity and not to the payment of interest, or if such amount which would have been excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Obligation, such excess shall be refunded to Grantor, or to the maker of the Note or other evidence of indebtedness if other than Grantor. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term, including any renewal or extension, of such indebtedness so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum permitted by applicable law. The terms and provisions of this section shall control and supersede every other provision of all existing and future agreements between Grantor, the maker of the Note or other evidence of indebtedness if other than Grantor, and Beneficiary.
Section 7.8. Effect of Transfer on Grantor’s Liability. If the ownership (legal or beneficial) of the Property or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than Grantor, or in the event of a change in ownership (legal or beneficial) of any Grantor other than an individual, Beneficiary may, without notice to or consent of Grantor or Grantor’s successors, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Deed of Trust and the Obligation either by way of forbearance on the part of Beneficiary, or extension of time of payment of the Obligation, or release of all or any part of the property or any other property securing payment of the Obligation, or otherwise, without in any way modifying or affecting Beneficiary’s rights and liens hereunder or the liability of Grantor or any other party liable for payment of the Obligation, in whole or in part.
Section 7.9. Waiver of Right to Marshal. Grantor hereby waives all rights of marshaling in the event of any foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby created.
Section 7.10. Subrogation. To the extent that proceeds of the Obligation are used to renew, extend or pay any outstanding debt or to perform any obligation, such proceeds have been advanced by Beneficiary at Grantor’s request, and Beneficiary shall be subrogated to all liens, security interests, rights, priorities, powers, titles, equities and interests owned or held by any owner or holder of such outstanding debt or obligation, however remote, irrespective of whether the same are released of record, and all of the same are recognized as valid and subsisting and are renewed, continued and preserved in force to secure the Obligation; provided, however, that if and to the extent Beneficiary desires in each case, the terms and provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents shall govern the rights and remedies of Beneficiary and shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights, and remedies under any lien, security interest, charge or other encumbrance to which Beneficiary is subrogated hereunder.
Section 7.11. Covenant to Perform. Grantor and each subsequent owner of the Property or any part thereof, covenants and agrees that Grantor or any subsequent owner will perform or cause to be performed, each and every condition, term, provision and covenant of this Deed of Trust, except that Grantor shall have no duty to pay the indebtedness evidenced by the Note except in accordance with the terms of the Note and all renewals and extensions thereof, and this Deed of Trust or in accordance with the terms of the transfer to Grantor or any subsequent owner.

| Rev. July 2000 |
Section 7.12. Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, demands, requests and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to be given and delivered when received, or if earlier and regardless of whether or not actually received (except where actual receipt is specified herein), upon deposit in a regularly maintained receptacle for the United States mail, registered or certified, postage fully prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the addressee at such addressee’s address set forth herein or at such other address as such party may have specified theretofore by notice delivered in accordance with this Section and actually received by the addressee. To the extent actual receipt is required herein, rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was received shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice, demand, request or other communication sent.
Section 7.13. Enforceability. If any provision of this Deed of Trust or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remainder of this Deed of Trust nor the application of such provision to any other person or circumstances shall be affected thereby, but rather the same shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. If the rights and liens created by this Deed of Trust shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Obligation, the portion of the Obligation which as the result of such invalidity or unenforceability is no longer secured by the liens and security interests herein granted shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the portion, if any, of the Obligation which shall continue to be secured hereunder, and all payments made on the Obligation shall be considered to have been paid on and applied first to the complete payment of the unsecured portion of the Obligation.
Section 7.14. Binding Effect. The covenants herein contained shall bind, and the benefits and advantages shall inure to, the respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto and shall be covenants running with the Land. The term “Grantor” shall include in their individual capacities and jointly all parties hereinabove named a Grantor. The duties, covenants, conditions, obligations, and warranties of Grantor in this Deed of Trust shall be joint and several obligations of Grantor and, if more than one, of each party named a Grantor hereinabove, and each such party’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. Each party who executes this Deed of Trust and each subsequent owner of the Property or any part thereof (other than Beneficiary), covenants and agrees that it will perform, or cause to be performed, each term, provision, covenant and condition of this Deed of Trust.
Section 7.15. Headings; Construction. The headings which have been used throughout this Deed of Trust have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not constitute matter to be construed in interpreting this Deed of Trust. Words of any gender used in this Deed of Trust shall be held and construed to include any other gender and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, and vice versa, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other similar compounds of the words “here” when used in this Deed of Trust shall refer to the entire Deed of Trust and not to any particular provision or section.

Section 7.16. Counterparts. This Deed of Trust has simultaneously been executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which, for all purposes, shall be deemed an original. If any Grantor is a corporation, this instrument is executed, acknowledged and delivered by Grantor’s officers hereunto duly authorized.
Section 7.17. Controlling Law. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by the applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
