      AND Trustor represents and warrants to and covenants and agrees with Beneficiary as follows:

 

PART I.- GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

      1.       Payment of Debt and Incorporation of Covenants, Conditions and Agreements. Trustor shall pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Loan Documents. All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this Deed of Trust to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.

 

 

 

 

      2.       Leases and Rents.

 

        (a)       Trustor does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assign to Beneficiary all of Trustor's right, title and interest in all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Trustor that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment shall not be construed to bind Beneficiary to the performance of any of the covenants or provisions contained in any Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Beneficiary. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this paragraph, Beneficiary grants to Trustor a revocable license to operate and manage the Trust Property and to collect the Rents subject to the requirements of the Loan Agreement (including the deposit of Rents into the Clearing Account). Upon an Event of Default, without the need for notice or demand (except as otherwise specifically set forth in the Loan Agreement with respect to a non-monetary Event of Default or as required by applicable law, in either case if any), the license granted to Trustor herein shall automatically be revoked, and Beneficiary shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account (including all Subaccounts thereof) and all Rents collected thereafter (including Rents past due and unpaid), whether or not Beneficiary enters upon or takes control of the Trust Property. Trustor hereby grants and assigns to Beneficiary the right, at its option, upon revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Trust Property in person, by agent or by court appointed receiver to collect the Rents. Any Rents collected after the revocation of such license may be applied toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion shall deem proper.

 

        (b)       Trustor shall not enter into, modify, amend, cancel, terminate, or renew any Lease except as provided in Section 5.10 of the Loan Agreement.

 

      3.       Use of Trust Property. Trustor shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Trust Property. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of the Trust Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Trustor shall not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the consent of Beneficiary. Trustor shall not (i) change the use of the Trust Property, (ii) permit or suffer to occur any ·material physical waste on or to the Trust Property or (iii) take any steps to convert the Trust Property to a condominium or cooperative form of ownership.

 

      4.       Transfer or Encumbrance of the Trust Property.

 

        (a)       Trustor acknowledges that (i) Beneficiary has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and experience of the principals of Trustor in owning and operating properties such as the Trust Property in agreeing to make the Loan, (ii) Beneficiary will continue to rely on Trustor's ownership of the Trust Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Trust Property as security for the Debt, and (iii) Beneficiary has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Trust Property so as to ensure that, should Trustor default in the repayment of the Debt, Beneficiary can recover the Debt by a sale of the Trust Property. Trustor shall not sell, convey, alienate, mortgage, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer the Trust Property or any part thereof, or suffer or permit any Transfer to occur, other than a Permitted Transfer.

 

 

 

 

        (b)       Beneficiary shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Transfer in violation of this Paragraph 4. This provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Trust Property (and every other Transfer) regardless of whether voluntary or not. Any Transfer made in contravention of this Paragraph 4 shall be nu11 and void and of no force and effect. Trustor agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Beneficiary on demand for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, title search costs and title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any Permitted Transfer.

 

      5.       Changes in Laws Regarding Taxation. If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Deed of Trust which deducts the Debt from the value of the Trust Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Beneficiary's interest in the Trust Property, Trustor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Beneficiary is advised by its counsel that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Trustor would be unlawful, taxable to Beneficiary or unenforceable, or would provide the basis for a defense of usury, then Beneficiary shall have the option, by notice of not less than 90 days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

 

      6.       No Credits on Account of the Debt. Trustor shall not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Trust Property, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Trust Property for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Deed of Trust or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Beneficiary shall have the option, by notice of not less than 90 days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

 

      7.       Further Acts, Etc. Trustor shall, at its sole cost, duly execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as Beneficiary shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Beneficiary the property and rights hereby mortgaged, given, granted, bargained, sold, alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned and hypothecated or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Trustor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Beneficiary, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Deed of Trust, or for filing, registering or recording this Deed of Trust or for facilitating the sale and transfer of the Loan and the Loan Documents in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction as described in Section 9.1 of the Loan Agreement. Upon foreclosure, the appointment of a receiver or any other relevant action, Trustor shall, at its sole cost, cooperate fully and completely to affect the assignment or transfer of any license, permit, agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the operation of the Trust Property. Trustor grants to Beneficiary an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Beneficiary at law and in equity, including such rights and remedies available to Beneficiary pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, Beneficiary shall not execute any document as attorney-in-fact of Trustor unless (x) Trustor shall have failed or refused to execute the same within five (5) Business Days after Beneficiary's request therefor, or (y) in Beneficiary's good faith determination it would be materially prejudiced by the delay involved in making such a request. Beneficiary shall give prompt notice to Trustor of any exercise of the power of attorney as provided for in this Paragraph 7, along with copies of all documents executed in connection therewith.

 

 

 

 

      8.       Recording of Deed of Trust, Etc. Trustor forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and thereafter, from time to time, shall cause this Deed of Trust, and any security instrument creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Trust Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien or security interest hereof upon and the interest of Beneficiary in, the Trust Property. Trustor shall pay all filing, registration or recording fees all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and acknowledgment of and all federal, state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, documentary stamped assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of, this Deed of Trust, any deed of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Trust Property or any instrument of further assurance, except where prohibited by law so to do. Trustor shall hold harmless and indemnify Beneficiary, its successors and assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition of any tax on the making or recording of this Deed of Trust.

 

      9.       Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default beyond the applicable cure period, if any, Beneficiary may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Trustor (except as otherwise specifically set forth in the Loan Agreement with respect to a non-monetary Event of Default or as required by applicable Jaw, in either case if any) and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereunder, perform the obligations in Default in such manner and to such extent as Beneficiary may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Beneficiary is authorized to enter upon the Trust Property for such purposes or appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Trust Property or to foreclose this Deed of Trust or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), with interest thereon at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Beneficiary that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Beneficiary, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Beneficiary upon demand.

(ix)     enforce Beneficiary' s interest in the Leases and Rents and enter into or upon the Trust Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Trustor and its agents and employees therefrom and thereupon Beneficiary may (A) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with the Trust Property and conduct the business thereat; (B) complete any construction on the Trust Property in such manner and form as Beneficiary deems advisable; (C) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Trust Property; (D) exercise all rights and powers of Trustor with respect to the Trust Property, in accordance with the Leases, whether in the name of Trustor or otherwise, including the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive Rents; and (E) apply the receipts from the Trust Property to the payment of the Debt, after deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, insurance and other charges in connection with the Trust Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Beneficiary, and its counsel, agents and employees;

(c)       Beneficiary may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable law, Beneficiary, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.

 

 

 

 

(d)       Upon the completion of any sale or sales pursuant hereto, Beneficiary, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold. Beneficiary is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Trustor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Trust Property and rights so sold and for that purpose Beneficiary may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, Trustor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Paragraph l 0, 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, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Trustor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Trustor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof: from, through or under Trustor.

(f)       No recovery of any judgment by Beneficiary and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Trust Property or upon any other property of Trustor shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Deed of Trust upon the Trust Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Beneficiary shall continue unimpaired as before.

 

(g)       Beneficiary may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in this Paragraph 10 at any time before the conclusion thereof as determined in Beneficiary's sole discretion and without prejudice to Beneficiary.

 

(h)       Beneficiary may resort to any remedies and the security given by this Deed of Trust or in any other Loan Document in whole or in part and in such portions and in such order as determined by Beneficiary's sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by any Loan Document. The failure of Beneficiary to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in any Loan Document shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation secured by any Loan Document. No acceptance by Beneficiary of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Beneficiary of any obligation for which Trustor is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default, or Trustor's liability to pay such obligation. No sale of all or any portion of the Trust Property, no forbearance on the part of Beneficiary, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Beneficiary to Trustor, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Beneficiary in the remaining Trust Property or the liability of Trustor to pay the Debt. No waiver by Beneficiary shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. All costs and expenses of Beneficiary in exercising its rights and remedies under this Paragraph IO (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), shall be paid by Trustor immediately upon notice from Beneficiary, with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Beneficiary, and such costs and expenses shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.

 

 

 

 

(i)       The interests and rights of Beneficiary under the Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Beneficiary may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Beneficiary may grant with respect to the Trust Property or any portion thereof or (iii} any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Debt.

 

11.       Right of Entry. In addition to any other rights or remedies granted under this Deed of Trust and in accordance with the Leases and the rights of the tenants thereunder, Beneficiary and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Trust Property at any reasonable time during the term of this Deed of Trust. The cost of such inspections or audits shall be borne by Trustor should Beneficiary determine that an Event of Default exists, including the cost of all follow up or additional investigations or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Beneficiary. The cost of such inspections, if not paid for by Trustor following demand, may be added to the principal balance of the sums due under the Note and this Deed of Trust and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate.

 

12.       Security Agreement. This Deed of Trust is both a real property deed of trust and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the UCC. The Trust Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Trustor in the Trust Property. Trustor by executing and delivering this Deed of Trust has granted and hereby grants to Beneficiary, as security for the Debt, a security interest in the Trust Property to the full extent that the Trust Property may be subject to the UCC (such portion of the Trust Property so subject to the UCC being called in this paragraph the "Collateral' ). The foregoing sentence is intended to grant in favor of Beneficiary a first priority continuing lien and security interest in all of Trustor's assets. Trustor authorizes Beneficiary and its counsel to file UCC financing statements in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, describing the collateral as "all assets of Trustor, whether now owned or existing -or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located, and all proceeds and products thereof, including, without limitation, all fixtures on the Premises" or words to that effect, and any limitations on such collateral description, notwithstanding that such collateral description may be broader in scope than the Collateral described in this Deed of Trust. This Deed of Trust shall also constitute a fixture filing” for the purposes of the UCC. As such, this Deed of Trust covers all items of the Collateral that are or are to become fixtures. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust. If an Event of Default shall occur, Beneficiary, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon defau1t under the UCC, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Beneficiary may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Beneficiary, Trustor shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary at a convenient place acceptable to Beneficiary. Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Beneficiary in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with respect to the Collateral, sent to Trustor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Trustor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Col1ateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion shall deem proper. In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of Trustor, Trustor shall notify Beneficiary thereof and promptly after request shall execute, file and record such UCC forms as are necessary to maintain the priority of Beneficiary' s lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. If Beneficiary shall require the filing or recording of additional UCC forms or continuation statements, Trustor shall, promptly after request, execute, file and record such UCC forms or continuation statements as Beneficiary shall deem necessary, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof, it being understood and agreed, however, that no such additional documents shall increase Trustor's obligations under the Loan Documents.

The lien of this Deed of Trust shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of Beneficiary and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing., the lien hereof shall not be impaired by (i) any acceptance by Beneficiary of any other security for any portion of the Debt, (ii) any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Beneficiary to realize upon or protect any portion of the Debt or any collateral security therefor or (iii) any release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, change, modification or disposition of any portion of the Debt or of any of the collateral security therefor; and Beneficiary may foreclose, or exercise any other remedy available to Beneficiary under other Loan Documents without first exercising or enforcing any of its remedies under this Deed of Trust, and any exercise of the rights and remedies of Beneficiary hereunder shall not in any manner impair the Debt or the liens of any other Loan Document or any of Beneficiary' s rights and remedies thereunder.

31.       Future Advances.

32.       Power of Sale. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may notify Trustee to exercise the power of sale hereunder and upon such notification it shall be lawful for and the duty of Trustee, and Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to expose to sale and to sell the Trust Property or any part thereof at public sale to the highest bidder for cash, in compliance with applicable requirements of North Carolina law governing the exercise of powers of sale contained in deeds of trust and upon such sale, Trustee shall collect the purchase proceeds and convey title to the portion of the Trust Property so sold to the purchaser in fee simple. In the event of a sale of the Trust Property or any part thereof, the proceeds of sale shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) to the payment of all costs and expenses for and in connection with such sale, including a commission for Trustee's services as hereinafter provided and reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Trustee for legal services actually performed; (ii) to the reimbursement of Beneficiary for all reasonable and actual sums expended or incurred by Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust or to establish, preserve or enforce this Deed of Trust or to collect the Note (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees); (iii) to the payment of the Note and interest thereon and all other indebtedness hereby secured; and (iv) the balance, if any, shall be paid to the parties lawfully entitled thereto. In the event of a sale hereunder, Beneficiary shall have the right to bid at such sale and shall have the right to credit all or any portion of the indebtedness secured hereby against the purchase price. Trustee shall have the right to designate the place of sale in compliance with applicable law and the sale shall be held at the place designated by the notice of sale. Trustee may require the successful bidder at any sale to deposit immediately with Trustee cash or certified check or cashier's check in an amount up to five percent (5%) of the bid provided notice of such deposit requirement is published as required by law. The bid may be rejected if the deposit is not immediately made. Such deposit shall be refunded in case of a resale because of an upset bid or if Trustee is unable to convey the portion of the Trust Property so sold to the bidder because the power of sale has been terminated in accordance with applicable law. If the purchaser fails to comply with its bid, the deposit may, at the option of Trustee, be retained and applied to the expenses of the sale and any resales and to any damages and expenses incurred by reason of such default (including the amount that such bid exceeds the final sales price), or may be deposited with the Clerk of Superior Court. In all other cases, the deposit shall be applied to the purchase price. Pursuant to Section 25-9-604 of the North Carolina General Statutes (or any amendment thereto), Trustee is expressly authorized and empowered to expose to sale and sell, together with the real estate, any portion of the Trust Property which constitutes personal property. If personal property is sold hereunder, it need not be at the place of sale. The Trust Property may be sold in such parcels or lots without regard to principles of marshaling and may be sold at one sale or in multiple sales, all as determined by Trustee. A previous exercise of the power of sale hereunder by Trustee shall not be deemed to extinguish the power of sale which power of sale shall continue in full force and effect until all the Trust Property shall have been finally sold and properly conveyed to the purchasers at the sale. The Trustee shall be entitled to a reasonable commission for both a completed or uncompleted foreclosure based upon the usual and customary hourly rates of the Trustee and the Trustee's paralegals for time actually spent on the matter which shall be in addition to any out of pocket costs and expenses of the Trustee referred to above.

 

 

 

 

33.       Maximum Interest. The provisions of this Deed of Trust and of all agreements between Trustor and Beneficiary, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary for the use, forbearance or retention of the money loaned under the Note ("Interest") exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between Trustor and Beneficiary shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Beneficiary shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance owing under the Note in the inverse order of its maturity (whether or not then due) or, at the option of Beneficiary, be paid over to Trustor, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest (including any amounts or payments deemed to be 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 period until payment in full of the principal balance of the Note so that the Interest thereon for such full period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This Section will control all agreements between Trustor and Beneficiary. To the extent North Carolina Jaw is determined to govern the Note notwithstanding the choice of Jaw provision contained therein, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Note, (i) no late fee shall be due in connection with payments due under the Note unless such payment is not made within fifteen (15) days of the date such payment is due, (ii) the late charge for such overdue payments shall be in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the amount of such overdue payment, and (iii) late fee may not be charged more than once with respect to a single late payment.

 

34.       After-Acquired Property. AU property acquired by Trustor after the date of this Deed of Trust which by the terms of this Deed of Trust shall be subject to the lien and the security interest created hereby, shall immediately upon the acquisition thereof by Trustor and without further mortgage, conveyance or assignment become subject to the lien and security interest created by this Deed of Trust. Nevertheless, Trustor shall execute, acknowledge, deliver and record or file, as appropriate, all and every such further mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, assignments and assurances as Beneficiary shall reasonably require for accomplishing the purposes of this Deed of Trust.

 

35.       Indemnity; Expenses. Subject to Section 10.1 of the Loan Agreement, Trustor will pay or reimburse Trustee and Beneficiary for all reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred by either of them in any suit, action, legal proceeding or dispute of any kind in which either of them is made a party or appears as party plaintiff or defendant, affecting the Debt, this Deed of Trust or the interest created herein, or the Trust Property, or any appeal thereof, including, but not limited to, activities related to enforcement of the remedies of Beneficiary, activities related to protection of Beneficiary's collateral, any foreclosure action or exercise of the power of sale, any condemnation action involving the Trust Property or any action to protect the security hereof, any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding commenced by or against the Trustor, and any such amounts paid or incurred by Trustee or Beneficiary shall be added to the Debt and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust; provided, however, that in no event shall Trustor be required to indemnify or hold harmless Beneficiary for any liabilities, losses or damages resulting from Lender's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements of this subsection shall expressly survive in perpetuity satisfaction of this Deed of Trust and repayment of the Debt, any release, reconveyance, discharge of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, conveyance by deed in lieu of foreclosure, sale, and any subsequent transfer by Trustee's conveyance of the Trust Property.

 

 

 

 

36.       Release of and Resort to Collateral. Beneficiary may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to a consent by the holder of any subordinate Hen on the Trust Property, any part of the Trust Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interests created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their stature as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the Trust Property. For payment of the Debt, Beneficiary may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect.

 

37.       Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by Jaw, Trustor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (i) all benefit that might accrue to Trustor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law orjudicia1 decision exempting the Trust Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment, (ii) all notices of any Event of Default or of Trustee's e1ection to exercise or his actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents, except as specifica1ly required by the terms of this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents, and (iii) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

 

38.       Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Beneficiary shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Beneficiary shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Trustor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Debt, the obligations of Trustor under the Loan Documents, the Loan Documents, the Trust Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Beneficiary shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment sha11 waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Beneficiary thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.

 

39.       No Mortgagee in Possession. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Deed of Trust nor any other remedies afforded to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity, shall cause Beneficiary or Trustee to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Trust Property, to obligate Beneficiary or Trustee to lease the Trust Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.
