Section 1.1

Future Advances. This Deed of Trust is given to secure not only the existing obligations, but also any obligations incurred on or after the date hereof, including but not limited to any future advances (whether such advances are obligatory or are made at the option of Lender, or otherwise) made by Lender pursuant to and under any of the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of the execution of this Deed of Trust. Each such future advance, or such future obligation incurred, need not be (but, at the option of Lender, may be) evidenced by a note or any other written instrument or notation signed by Trustor or any other party stipulating that such advance or obligation is secured by this Deed of Trust. The period in which future advances may be made and obligations may be incurred and secured by this Deed of Trust is the period between the date hereof and that date which is thirty (30) years from the date hereof. The maximum principal amount (including future advances that Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make under this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents) which may be secured by this Deed of Trust at any one time is [__________] dollars ([__________]), plus all interest, costs, reimbursements, fees and expenses due under this Deed of Trust. Any additional amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall be deemed necessary expenditures for the preservation and protection of the security. All future advances and obligations shall be considered to be made and secured pursuant to the requirements of N.C.G.S. §45-67, et seq., or any amendments thereto.

Section 1.2

Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust constitutes a financing statement (naming Trustor as Debtor and Lender as Secured Party) filed as a fixture filing under the North Carolina Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, covering any Secured Property which now is or later may become a fixture attached to the Land or any building located thereon. The mailing address of Trustor (Debtor) and the address of Lender (Secured Party) from which information concerning the security interests may be obtained are set forth in Section 7.20 below. Trustor is the record owner of the Land.

Section 1.3

Financing Statements. Trustor hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time and from time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Secured Property, without the signature of Trustor where permitted by law, and describing the collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” or such other similar description as Lender determines in its sole discretion in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code. Trustor agrees to furnish Lender, promptly upon request, with any information required by Lender to complete such financing or continuation statements. If Lender has filed any initial financing statements or amendments in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction prior to the date hereof, Trustor ratifies and confirms its authorization of all such filings. Trustor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior written consent of Lender, and agrees that it will not do so without Lender’s prior written consent, subject to Trustor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Uniform Commercial Code. Trustor shall execute and deliver to Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, such additional financing statements and such further assurances as Lender may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Lender’s security interest

hereunder, and Lender may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest. “Uniform Commercial Code” means the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted and in effect in the state where the Land is located (and as it may from time to time be amended); provided that, to the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code is used to define any term herein or in any other Loan Document and such term is defined differently in different Articles or Divisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, the definition of such term contained in Article or Division 9 shall govern; provided further, however, that if, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, any or all of the attachment, perfection or priority of, or remedies with respect to, any security interest herein granted is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted and in effect in a jurisdiction other than the state where the Land is located, the term “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted and in effect in such other jurisdiction solely for the purposes of the provisions thereof relating to such attachment, perfection, priority or remedies and for purposes of definitions related to such provisions.

Section 1.4

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

ARTICLE 2

THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS.

Section 2.1

Purpose of Securing. Trustor makes the grant, conveyance, transfer and assignment set forth in Article 1 (Grant in Trust), makes the assignment set forth in Article 3 (Assignment of Leases and Rents), and grants the security interest set forth in Article 4 (Security Interest in Related Personalty), all for the purpose of securing the following obligations (the “Secured Obligations”) in any order of priority that Lender may choose:

(a)

Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith given by Trustor in favor of Lender, [__________] Dollars ([__________]), and having a final maturity date of [__________] (as the same may be increased, renewed, amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Promissory Note”), together with all interest, late charges, prepayment fees, additional interest, collection costs, fees, and expenses as provided in the Promissory Note;

(b)

Payment and performance of all obligations of Trustor under this Deed of Trust;

(c)

Prompt and complete performance and observance of each and every covenant, obligation, or agreement of Trustor contained in this Deed of Trust or contained in any other document or instrument given by Trustor to further evidence or secure the indebtedness represented by the Promissory Note, but excluding any separate environmental indemnity; and

(d)

Payment of any additional sums (and accrued interest) that may be loaned or advanced by Lender to Trustor under any promissory note or notes evidencing

loans that specifically state that they are secured by this Deed of Trust.

This Deed of Trust also secures payment of all obligations of Trustor under the Promissory Note which arise after the Promissory Note is extended, renewed, modified or amended pursuant to any written agreement between Trustor and Lender, and all obligations of Trustor under any successor agreement or instrument which restates and supersedes the Promissory Note in its entirety.

This Deed of Trust does not secure any obligation which expressly states that it is unsecured, whether contained in the foregoing Promissory Note or in any other document, agreement or instrument. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Deed of Trust does not and shall not in any event be deemed to, secure the obligations of Trustor owing to Lender under the Environmental Indemnity executed in connection with the foregoing Promissory Note or any obligations that are the substantial equivalent thereof.

Section 2.2

Terms of Secured Obligations. All Persons who may have or acquire an interest in all or any part of the Secured Property will be considered to have notice of, and will be bound by, the terms of the Promissory Note described in Section 2.1(a) and each other agreement or instrument made or entered into in connection with each of the Secured Obligations. These terms include any provisions in the Promissory Note that permit borrowing, repayment and reborrowing, or which provide that the interest rate on one or more of the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time.

ARTICLE 3

ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS.

Section 3.1

Assignment. Trustor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns to Lender (i) all existing and future leases, subleases, licenses and other agreements for the use and occupancy of all or any part of the Secured Property, whether written or oral and whether for a definite term or month to month, together with all guarantees of the lessee’s obligations thereunder and together with all extensions, modifications and renewals thereof (hereinafter called the “Leases”), and (ii) all rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income and proceeds of the Secured Property, whether now due, past due or to become due, including all prepaid rents and security deposits (collectively, the “Rents”), and confers upon Lender the right to collect such Rents with or without taking possession of the Secured Property. In the event that anyone establishes and exercises any right to develop, bore for or mine for any water, gas, oil or mineral on or under the surface of the Secured Property, any sums that may become due and payable to Trustor as bonus or royalty payments, and any damages or other compensation payable to Trustor in connection with the exercise of any such rights, shall also be considered Rents assigned under this Section 3.1. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENT, NOT AN ASSIGNMENT FOR SECURITY ONLY.

Section 3.2

Grant of License. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1, Lender hereby confers upon Trustor a license (“License”) to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Promissory

Note) shall exist and be continuing. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the right, which it may choose to exercise in its sole discretion, to terminate this License without notice to or demand upon Trustor, and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations. Upon an Event of Default that is continuing, Trustor hereby authorizes and directs the lessees and tenants under the Leases that, upon written notice from Lender, all Rents shall be paid directly to Lender as they become due. Trustor hereby relieves the lessees and tenants from any liability to Trustor by reason of the payment of the Rents to Lender. Nevertheless, Trustor shall be entitled to collect the Rents until Lender notifies the lessees and tenants in writing to pay the Rents to Lender. Lender is hereby authorized to give such notification only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter while such Event of Default is continuing. Receipt and applicable of the Rents by Lender shall not constitute a waiver of any right of Lender under this Deed of Trust or applicable law, shall not cure any Event of Default hereunder, and shall not invalidate or affect any act done in connection with such Event of Default, including, without limitation, any trustee’s sale or foreclosure proceeding.

Section 3.3

Leases. Trustor represents and warrants that: (i) the Leases are in full force and effect and have not been modified or amended, in any material way; (ii) the Rents have not been waived, discounted, compromised, setoff or, except for security deposits, paid more than one (1) month in advance; (iii) there are no other assignments, transfers, pledges or encumbrances of any Leases or Rents; and (iv) neither Trustor nor the lessees and tenants are in material default under the Leases as of the date hereof.

Section 3.4

Performance of Leases. Trustor shall (i) fulfill or perform each and every term, covenant and provision of the Leases to be fulfilled or performed by the lessor thereunder unless in Trustor’s good faith business judgement such non-performance is in the best interest of Trustor; (ii) give prompt notice to Lender of any notice received by Trustor of default thereunder or of any alleged material default or failure of performance that could become a material default thereunder, together with a complete copy of any such notice; and (iii) enforce, short of termination thereof, the performance or observance of each and every term, covenant and provision of each Lease to be performed or observed by the lessees and tenants thereunder unless in Trustor’s good faith business judgement such non-enforcement is in the best interest of Trustor.

Section 3.5

Modification of Leases. Trustor, without the prior written consent of Lender not to be unreasonably withheld, shall not: (i) cancel or accept the surrender of any Lease unless in Trustor’s good faith business judgement such cancelation or acceptance is in the best interest of Trustor; (ii) assign, transfer, pledge or encumber, the whole or any part of the Leases and Rents to anyone other than Lender; (iii) except as otherwise provided herein, accept any Rents more than one (1) month in advance of the accrual thereof; or (iv) do or permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or omit or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, could be a material breach or default under the terms of any Lease or a basis for termination thereof.

Section 3.6

Lender. Lender does not assume and shall not be liable for any obligation of the lessor under any of the Leases and all such obligations shall continue to rest upon Trustor as though this assignment had not been made. Lender shall not be liable for the failure or inability to collect any Rents, unless due to Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 3.7

Mortgagee In Possession. Neither the assignment of Rents and Leases contained herein or in any separate assignment nor the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies thereunder or in connection therewith, prior to Lender obtaining actual possession of the Secured Property as provided in Articles 6 (Remedies) hereof, shall constitute Lender a “mortgagee in possession” or otherwise make Lender responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Secured Property or the occupancy, operation or use thereof. In the event Lender, or its affiliate, obtains actual possession or control of the Secured Property as provided in Articles 6 (Remedies) hereof, Lender shall be deemed a “mortgagee in possession” in which case Lender shall have the rights, and Lender’s liability shall be limited, as provided in that Section.

ARTICLE 4

SECURITY INTEREST IN RELATED PERSONALTY.

Section 4.1

Grant of Security Interest. This Deed of Trust shall also constitute a “Security agreement,” as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of North Carolina, and Trustor hereby grants to Lender a security interest in, and pledges and assigns to Lender, all of Trustor’s right, title and interest, whether presently existing or hereafter acquired in and to all of the following property (collectively, the “Personalty”):

operation, maintenance, enjoyment, acquisition or ownership of the Secured Property;

(b)

All reserves, escrows or impounds required under Section 5.20 (Reserves) and all deposit accounts (including accounts holding security deposits) maintained by Trustor with respect to the Secured Property;

(c)

All crops growing or to be grown on the Land (and after severance from the Land); all standing timber upon the Land (and after severance from the Land); all sewer, water and water rights (whether riparian, appropriative, or otherwise, and whether or not appurtenant to the Land) and all evidence of ownership rights pertaining to such water or water rights, ownership of which affect the Land; and all plans, specifications, shop drawings and other technical descriptions prepared for construction, repair or alteration of any part of the Premises, and all amendments and modifications thereof;

(f)

All substitutions, replacements, additions, and accessions to any of the above property, and all books, records and files relating to any of the above property, including, without limitation, all general intangibles related to any of the above property and all proceeds of the above property.

ARTICLE 5

RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES.

Trustor warrants, represents and covenants to Lender as follows:

Section 5.1

Title to Secured Property and Lien of This Instrument. Trustor lawfully possesses and holds fee simple title to all of the Land and the Improvements, and owns the Secured Property free and clear of any liens, claims or interests, except the Permitted Encumbrances, and has rights and the power to transfer each item of the Secured

Property. This Deed of Trust creates a valid, enforceable first priority lien on, and security interest against, as applicable, the Secured Property. Trustor will cooperate with Lender in obtaining control (for lien perfection purposes under the Uniform Commercial Code) with respect to any Secured Property consisting of deposit accounts, investment property, letter of credit rights or electronic chattel paper.

Section 5.2

First Lien Status; Protection of Beneficiary’s Security. At Trustor’s sole expense, Trustor shall preserve, protect and defend (a) the first lien and security interest status of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, (b) title to and right of possession of the Secured Property, and (c) the rights and powers of Lender and Trustee created under it, against all adverse claims. Trustor shall give Lender and Trustee prompt notice in writing if any claim is asserted which does or could affect any of these matters, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which alleges or relates to any such claim. If any such action or proceeding is commenced or if Lender or Trustee is made a party to any such action or proceeding by reason of this Deed of Trust, or if Trustor fails to perform any obligation on its part to be performed hereunder after notice and opportunity to cure, then Lender, in its discretion, may make any appearances, disburse any sums, make any entries upon the Premises and take any actions as may be necessary or desirable to protect or enforce the security of this Deed of Trust, to remedy Trustor’s failure to perform its obligations (without, however, waiving any default by Trustor) or otherwise to protect Lender’s interests. Trustor will pay all losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, of Lender and Trustee thus incurred. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Lender or Trustee to incur any expenses, make any appearances or take any actions.

Section 5.3

Payment and Performance. Trustor shall pay and perform the Secured Obligations in full when they are due and required to be paid and performed as provided in the Loan Documents.

Section 5.4

Payment of Taxes, Utilities, Liens and Charges.

(a)

Taxes and Assessments. Trustor agrees to pay prior to delinquency directly to the payee thereof all taxes, levies, charges and assessments (including without limitation, assessments on appurtenant water stock and non-governmental levies or assessments such as maintenance charges, owner association dues or charges, or fees, levies or charges resulting from covenants, conditions or restrictions) levied, assessed or charged against or with respect to the Premises or this Deed of Trust, or which may cause any decrease in the value of the Secured Property or any part of it. Upon request, Trustor shall promptly furnish to Lender all notices of amounts due under this subparagraph and all receipts evidencing such payments. Trustor may contest any such taxes or assessments by appropriate proceedings duly instituted and diligently prosecuted at Trustor’s expense and Trustor shall not be obligated to pay such taxes or assessments while such contest is pending so long as (i) the Premises is not thereby subjected to imminent loss or forfeiture and, (ii) if Trustor has not provided evidence that it has deposited the entire amount assessed with the applicable governmental authority, it deposits the entire amount together with projected penalties and interest

with Lender or provides other security satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion.

(b)

Utilities. Trustor will pay when due all utility charges and assessments for services furnished the Premises.

(c)

Liens and Charges. Trustor will pay when due the claims of all Persons supplying labor or materials at the request of or with authorization from Trustor to or in connection with the Premises. Without waiving the restrictions of Section 5.17 (Restrictions on Transfer or Encumbrance of the Premises) hereof, Trustor will promptly discharge any lien or other charge, whether superior or inferior to this Deed of Trust, which may be claimed against the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, Trustor, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceedings, conducted diligently and in good faith, the amount or validity of any mechanic’s lien, but only if (i) Trustor notifies Lender in writing at least ten (10) days in advance of the expected commencement of such proceedings, (ii) no portion of the Premises is in danger of being sold or forfeited by virtue of, or during the duration of, such proceedings, (3) if required by Lender, Trustor deposits with Lender reserves sufficient to pay the contested mechanic’s lien in full, plus any interest and costs that may be assessed or recoverable in connection therewith, through the proceedings or otherwise, and (4) Trustor furnishes whatever additional security is required in the proceedings or is reasonably requested by Lender in connection with allowing Trustor to commence the proceedings.

Section 5.5

Maintenance of Rights of Way, Easements and Licenses. Trustor shall maintain all rights of way, easements, grants, privileges, licenses, certificates, permits, and entitlements necessary for the use of the Secured Property and will not, without the prior consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, actively consent to any public restriction (including any zoning ordinance) or private restriction as to the use of the Secured Property. Trustor shall comply with all restrictive covenants affecting the Secured Property, and all zoning ordinances and other public or private restrictions as to the use of the Secured Property.

Section 5.6

Right of Entry and Inspection. Trustor shall permit Lender, and Lender’s agents, representatives and employees to make reasonable entries upon and inspection of the Land and Improvements, provided that Lender shall give Trustor notice prior to any such inspection specifying reasonable cause therefor related to Lender’s interest in the Secured Property. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, entry by Lender and/or its employees, contractors, or agents under this Section 5.6 or under any other provision herein shall be made subject to the rights of tenants occupying such Land and Improvements under their lease agreements.

Section 5.7

Hazardous Substances.

The term “Environmental Law” shall mean any federal, state or local statute, ordinance, or regulation pertaining to health, industrial hygiene, or the environment, including,

without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq. (“CERCLA”); and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901, et seq. (“RCRA”), and all rules adopted and guidelines promulgated pursuant to the foregoing.

(a)

Definition of “Hazardous Substance”. “Hazardous Substance” means any hazardous, toxic or dangerous substance, waste or material which is or becomes regulated under any federal, state or local statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or other law now or hereafter in effect pertaining to environmental protection, contamination or clean up, including without limitation any substance, waste or material which (A) are included within the definitions of “hazardous substances,” “hazardous materials,” “toxic substances,” or “solid waste” in CERCLA, RCRA, and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C.

Trustor represents and warrants to Lender that: (i) to the best of Trustor’s knowledge, no asbestos has ever been used in the construction, repair or maintenance of any building, structure or other improvement now or heretofore located on the Land; (ii) to the best of Trustor’s knowledge, no Hazardous Substance is currently being generated, manufactured, refined, transported, treated, stored, handled or disposed of, transferred, produced or processed on, under or about the Premises, except in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations and other laws; (iii) Trustor has ever caused or permitted any Hazardous Substance to be generated, manufactured, refined, transported, treated, stored, handled or disposed of, transferred, produced or processed on, under or about the Premises, except in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations and other laws; (iv) Trustor has not received any notice of any actual or alleged violation with respect to the Premises of any federal, state or local statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or other law pertaining to Hazardous Substances; and (v) neither Trustor nor, to the best of Trustor’s knowledge, the Premises is subject to any governmental or judicial claim, order, judgment or lien with respect to the clean-up of Hazardous Substances at or with respect to the Premises.

(c)

No Future Hazardous Substances. Trustor will not cause or permit the Premises to be used to generate, manufacture, refine, transport, treat, store, handle, dispose, transfer, produce or process any Hazardous Substance (as defined in this Deed of Trust), nor shall Trustor cause or permit, as a result of any intentional or unintentional act or omission on the part of Trustor or any tenant, subtenant or other user or occupier of the Premises, a releasing, spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying or

dumping of any Hazardous Substance onto the Premises or any other property or into any waters, except in compliance with all such laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, however, Trustor shall not cause or permit the installation, operation or presence on the Land of any underground storage tank or system used or to be used for the storage, handling or dispensing of petroleum or any other substance regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 USC § 6901 et seq.), as now or hereafter amended, or any state or local statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or other law now or hereafter in effect regulating underground storage tanks or systems.

(d)

Notification; Clean Up. Trustor will promptly notify Lender if Trustor becomes aware of (i) any Hazardous Substance problem or liability with respect to the Premises, (ii) any actual or alleged violation with respect to the Premises of any federal, state or local statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or other law pertaining to Hazardous Substances, or (iii) any lien or action with respect to any of the foregoing. Trustor will, at its sole expense, take or cause to be taken all actions as may be necessary or advisable for the clean-up of Hazardous Substances on or with respect to the Premises, including, without limitation, all removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with all applicable laws and in all events in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and shall further pay or cause to be paid all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of governmental agencies with respect to Hazardous Substances on or with respect to the Premises if obligated to do so by contract or by law.

(e)

Verification. For the purposes of inspecting the Premises to ascertain the accuracy of all representations and warranties in this Deed of Trust relating to Hazardous Substances, and the observance of all covenants contained in this Section, (i) upon reasonable notice to Trustor, Lender is hereby authorized to enter and inspect the Premises, including the interior of any structures, at reasonable times and after reasonable notice; and (ii) if and at any time Hazardous Substances are being handled on the Premises, Trustor shall furnish Lender with such information and documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender to confirm that such Hazardous Substances are being handled in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations and other laws.

(f)

Indemnity for Certain Matters. Trustor shall be responsible for, and indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Lender from and against, any claim, judgment, loss, damage, demand, cost, expense or liability, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the use, generation, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence (whether prior to or after the date of this Deed of Trust) of Hazardous Substances on, in, under or about the Premises including all costs and expenses incurred by the Lender, including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees. The foregoing indemnification obligation shall be limited to the actual damages incurred by Lender, including all advances or payments paid or agreed to be paid by Lender pursuant to its rights to require environmental assessments, join or participate in any proceedings, cure the Trustor’s default or enforce its remedies, (a) prior to any judicial foreclosure of this

Deed of Trust or deed delivered and accepted in lieu thereof, or (b) prior to any nonjudicial foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or deed delivered and accepted in lieu thereof. The obligations of the Trustor under this Section shall be mutually exclusive of any liabilities arising after a nonjudicial foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the delivery and acceptance of a deed in lieu of such nonjudicial foreclosure, which are evidenced by the Environmental Indemnity, and are not secured hereby. For clarity and notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustor shall have no liability for any damages incurred by or asserted against Trustor concerning Hazardous Substances to the extent that such were caused by actions, conditions or events that first occurred after Lender or any affiliate thereof (or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale, pursuant to a deed in lieu transaction or any similar transaction) acquired title to the Property and such damages were not caused by the direct or indirect actions of Trustor.

(a)

Policies. Trustor shall keep all Improvements now or hereafter placed on the Land continuously insured against loss by fire or other hazards from time to time required by Lender in such amounts as are customary and as Lender may reasonably require. All such policies (including renewals thereof), shall be: (a) issued by an insurance carrier acceptable to Lender who is qualified and licensed to provide insurance in the State of North Carolina, (b) name Lender as additional insured, lender loss payee, and/or mortgagee, as appropriate, (c) provide that the insurance carrier shall notify Lender at least thirty (30) days before cancellation, termination or any material change of coverage, and (d) otherwise be in form and substance and contain such endorsements satisfactory to Lender. Any amount collected under any such insurance policy may be applied upon the Secured Obligations in such order as Lender shall determine. Such application by Lender shall not cause discontinuance of any proceedings to foreclose this Deed of Trust. In the event of foreclosure, all rights of Trustor in insurance policies then in force shall pass to the purchaser at the foreclosure

sale. Trustor represents and warrants that it will provide proof of the insurance required to Lender on not less than an annual basis.

(b)

Assignments as Security.

(c)

Payment; Renewals. Trustor shall promptly furnish to Lender all renewal notices relating to insurance policies. Trustor shall pay all premiums on insurance policies directly to the carrier. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of each such policy, Trustor shall furnish to Lender a renewal policy in a form acceptable to Lender, together with evidence that the renewal premium has been paid.

Section 5.15

Insurance Proceeds.

(a)

In the event of any loss resulting in a claim exceeding the lesser of (i) Trustor’s commercially reasonable deductible amount and (ii) [Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00)], Trustor will give prompt written notice thereof to the insurance carrier and Lender.

(b)

Except as may otherwise be required by applicable law, Lender shall apply any insurance proceeds received hereunder first to the payment of the costs and expenses incurred in the collection of the proceeds and shall then apply the balance (the “Net Proceeds”), in its absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security, to:

(1)

The payment of indebtedness secured hereby, whether then due and payable or not. Any such application of proceeds to principal on the Promissory Note shall be without the imposition of any prepayment fee otherwise payable under the Promissory Note, but shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the installment payments under the Promissory Note or change the amounts thereof; or

(2)

The reimbursement of Trustor, under Lender’s prescribed disbursement control procedures, for the cost of restoration or repair of the Premises. Lender may, at its option, condition the reimbursement on Lender’s approval of the plans and specifications of the reconstruction, contractor’s cost estimates, construction budget and schedule, architects’ certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of mechanics and materialmen, and such other evidence of costs, percentage completion of construction, application of payments and satisfaction of liens as Lender may reasonably require.

(c)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.15(b), Lender agrees that the Net Proceeds from a loss described in this Section will be made available under

Section 5.15(b)(2) above to reimburse Trustor, or pay directly for the cost of restoration or repair of the Premises, provided that each of the following conditions is satisfied:

(1)

At the time the proceeds are received, and all times during the restoration or repair of the Premises, no event or circumstance exists which is or which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both will constitute an Event of Default;

(2)

The Net Proceeds are less than the indebtedness then secured by this Deed of Trust;

(3)

The Net Proceeds are received more than one (1) year prior to the maturity date of the Promissory Note;

(4)

Trustor gives Lender written notice within thirty (30) days after the proceeds are received that it intends to restore or repair the Premises and requests that the Net Proceeds be made available therefor, and Trustor thereafter promptly commences the restoration or repair and completes the same with reasonable diligence in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;

(5)

The Net Proceeds are sufficient, in Lender’s judgment, to restore or repair the Premises substantially to its condition prior to the damage or destruction or, if in Lender’s reasonable business judgment they are not, Trustor deposits with Lender funds in an amount equal to the deficiency, which funds Lender may, at its option, require be expended prior to use of the Net Proceeds; and

(6)

Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Premises can lawfully be restored or repaired to its condition prior to the damage and destruction and that, upon completion of the restoration or repair, the Premises can be operated substantially as it was before and will produce substantially as much income from tenant leases as it did before the damage or destruction.

(d)

Except to the extent, if any, that insurance proceeds are applied to payment of the Secured Obligations, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Trustor from restoring, repairing or maintaining the Premises as provided in Section 5.9 (Preservation and Maintenance of Premises; Right of Entry), regardless of whether there are insurance proceeds available or whether any such proceeds are sufficient in amount.

(e)

If the Premises is sold pursuant to Section 5.17 (Restrictions on Transfer or Encumbrance of the Premises) or Article 6 (Remedies), or if Lender otherwise acquires title to the Premises, Lender shall have all of the right, title and interest of Trustor in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums thereon and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to the Premises prior to such sale or acquisition.

Section 5.16

Condemnation.

(a)

Proceedings. Trustor will promptly notify Lender of any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking (including without limitation change of grade), whether direct or indirect, of the Premises or part thereof or interest therein, and Trustor will appear in and prosecute any such action or proceeding unless otherwise directed by Lender in writing. Trustor grants Lender a power of attorney, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in Lender’s or Trustor’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any such condemnation or other taking, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such condemnation or other taking; provided, however, that Lender shall have no obligation to do so. All awards, payments, damages, direct, consequential and otherwise, claims, and proceeds thereof, in connection with any such condemnation or other taking, or for conveyances in lieu of condemnation, are hereby absolutely and irrevocably assigned to Lender (all such assigned items constituting “Premises” for purposes of this Deed of Trust); and Trustor hereby authorizes the payor to pay to Lender, all proceeds of any such awards, payments, damages or claims shall be paid to Lender.

(b)

Application of Proceeds. Lender shall apply any such proceeds in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.15(b) and Section 5.15(c) relating to the application of insurance proceeds. For clarity, any application of condemnation proceeds to principal on the Promissory Note shall be without the imposition of any prepayment fee otherwise payable under the Promissory Note.

Section 5.17

Restrictions on Transfer or Encumbrance of the Premises.

(1)

A “Transfer” is, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise: a transfer of 50% or more of the voting securities (“Change in Control”) of Trustor’s manager Arrived Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Manager”) to a person who is not now a shareholder or owner of Manager (“Change in Control Transfer”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is no Change in Control in the event there is a Change in Control of Manager in connection with a sale, merger, division, consolidation or reorganization, or asset sale, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied (a “Permitted Change in Control Transfer”): (a) there is no uncured Event of Default; (b) in the event of a Change in Control, manager’s successor shall have a net worth at least equal to manager’s net worth as of the day prior to the proposed Change in Control; and (c) Mortgagor shall give Lender written notice prior to the effective date of the Change in Control Transfer. Trustor’s notice to Lender shall include information and documentation evidencing the Permitted Change in Control Transfer and showing that each of the above conditions has been satisfied. The foregoing is herein referred to as permitted transfer, which may be made without Lender’s prior consent.

(b)

Except as provided herein, no Transfer is permitted without the prior written consent of Lender, which Lender may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. With respect to each and every Transfer for which Lender has agreed to provide consent, Trustor shall give Lender (1) prior written notice of the proposed Transfer, (2) copies of all transfer documentation, and (3) a $2,000 transfer review fee, which transfer fee shall be nonrefundable, fully earned by Lender upon receipt, and not applied to the outstanding balance of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Transfer shall be permitted if the transferee or any affiliate of the transferee is a Person (a) that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, EO 13224; (b) whose name appears on the OFAC most current list of “Specifically Designated National and Blocked Persons -- (which list may be published from time to time in various mediums, including, but not limited to, the OFAC website (http://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/t11sdn/pdf); (c) who commits, threatens to commit or supports “terrorism,” as that term is defined in EO 13224; or (d) who is otherwise affiliated with any Person listed above. Lender’s consent to any Transfer or its waiver of an Event of Default by reason of a Transfer shall not constitute a consent or waiver of any right, remedy or power accruing to Lender by reason of any subsequent Transfer.

(c)

Except as provided herein, for any Transfer permitted under this Section, Lender may condition its consent upon, among other things, including: the Premises having been and assurances that it shall continue to be well maintained and managed in a manner satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion; Lender’s approval of the Transfer terms, documents and background materials; there being no uncured Event of Default under this Deed of Trust; for any Transfer involving an interest in the Premises, Trustor furnishing an endorsement to Lender’s title insurance policy insuring the continued validity and priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust following the Transfer and such subordination agreements and other documents as may be required by Lender or its title company to issue the endorsement; and Trustor furnishing proof of payment of any taxes (or exemption therefrom) arising in connection with the Transfer. Unless Lender in its sole and absolute discretion otherwise agrees in writing at that time, no Transfer shall release the transferor from any liability under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity. By accepting a Transfer, the transferee assumes any and all liability of the transferor under the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity to the extent the transferor has personal liability. At Lender’s request, the parties shall execute agreements, guaranties and indemnities in form and substance acceptable to Lender. Regardless whether Lender consents to a Transfer request, Trustor agrees to pay all of Lender’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any Transfer request, including without limitation title fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and Lender may condition its willingness to consider a Transfer request upon a deposit to pay for Lender’s expenses.

(d)

Upon breach of this Section, Lender may declare all sums due under the Promissory Note and Deed of Trust immediately due and payable, unless prohibited by

applicable law, and Lender and Trustee may invoke any rights and remedies provided under Article 6 (Remedies).

Section 5.18

Reimbursement of Lender’s Expenses. Trustor agrees to pay all reasonable and documented expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the application for, processing of, drafting of, and making of the Loan, including, without limitation, title insurance premiums, escrow fees, search fees and related charges, survey costs, brokerage commissions, appraisal costs, inspections by professionals (for hazardous materials, asbestos, roof or building structural conditions, seismic analysis, etc.), recording charges, mortgage taxes, revenue stamps, Lender’s reasonable attorney’s fees, and escrow, settlement and disbursement charges and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing, all amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to Section 5.2 (First Lien Status; Protection of Lender’s Security) or any other provision of this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document, with interest thereon, shall be additional indebtedness of Trustor secured by this Deed of Trust. All such amounts shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the interest rate in effect on the Promissory Note from time to time, or at the maximum rate which may be collected from Trustor on such amounts by the payee thereof under applicable law if that is less.

Section 5.19

Books and Records; Financial Statements. Trustor will keep and maintain at Trustor’s address stated in Section 7.21 (Notices), or such other place as Lender may approve in writing, books of accounts and records adequate to reflect correctly the results of the operation of the Premises and copies of all written contracts, leases and other instruments which affect the Premises. Such books, records, contracts, leases and other instruments shall be subject to examination, inspection and copying at any reasonable time by Lender. Trustor will furnish to Lender, within ten (10) days after Lender’s request therefor, the following documents, each certified to Lender by Trustor as being true, correct and complete: (a) a copy of all leases and other agreements for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Premises, (b) a rent roll for the Premises, showing the name of each tenant, and for each tenant, the unit occupied, the number of square feet rented, the lease expiration date, the rent payable, the date through which rent has been paid, the amount of any security deposit and the number and term of any renewal options, (c) a copy of the most recent real and personal property tax statements for the Premises, (d) a copy of the most recent statements for the insurance coverages maintained under Section 5.14 (Insurance Requirements) of this Deed of Trust, and (e) a statement of income and expenses of the Premises for the most recently ended fiscal year of Trustor. In addition, Trustor will furnish to Lender, within ten (10) days after Lender’s request therefor, complete and current financial statements, in reasonable detail and certified as correct by Trustor. Trustor hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to obtain credit reports on Trustor on one or more occasions during the term of the Loan.

Section 5.20

Reserves.

(a)

Deposits. If there is an uncured Event of Default, Lender may require Trustor, at the time of making each installment payment under the Promissory Note, deposit with Lender a sum, as estimated by Lender, in its sole, but reasonable discretion, equal to (i) the rents under any ground lease, (ii) the taxes and special assessments next

due on the Premises, and (iii) the premiums that will next become due on insurance policies as may be required under this Deed of Trust, less all sums already deposited therefor, divided by the number of months to elapse at least thirty (30) days prior to the date when such rents, taxes, special assessments and premiums will become delinquent. Lender may require Trustor to deposit with Lender, in advance, such other sums for other taxes, assessments, premiums, charges and impositions in connection with Trustor or the Premises as Lender deems necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, to protect Lender’s interests (herein “Other Impositions”). Such sums for Other Impositions shall be deposited in periodic installments, at Lender’s option. If required by Lender, Trustor will promptly deliver to Lender all bills and notices with respect to any rents, taxes, assessments, premiums and Other Impositions. All sums deposited with Lender under this paragraph (a) are hereby pledged as security for the Secured Obligations.

(b)

Application of Deposits. All such deposited sums shall be held by Lender and applied in such order as Lender elects to pay such rents, taxes, assessments, premiums and Other Impositions or, upon the occurrence of an uncured Event of Default, may be applied in whole or in part, to indebtedness secured hereby. The arrangement provided for in this Section is solely for the added protection of Lender and, except as may otherwise be required by applicable law, entails no responsibility on Lender’s part beyond the allowing of due credit, without interest, for the sums actually received by it. Upon any assignment of this Deed of Trust by Lender, any funds on hand shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender with respect thereto shall terminate. Each transfer of the Premises shall automatically transfer to the transferee all rights of Trustor with respect to any funds accumulated hereunder. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations, Lender shall promptly refund to Trustor the remaining balance of any deposits then held by Lender without interest.

(c)

Adjustments to Deposits. If the total deposits held by Lender exceed the amount deemed necessary by Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, to provide for the payment of such rents, taxes, assessments, premiums and Other Impositions as the same fall due, then such excess shall, provided no Event of Default then exists hereunder, be credited by Lender on the next due installment or installments of such deposits. If at any time the total deposits held by Lender is less than the amount deemed necessary by Lender to provide for the payment thereof as the same fall due, then Trustor will deposit the deficiency with Lender within thirty (30) days after written notice to Trustor stating the amount of the deficiency.

Section 5.21

Prohibited Person Compliance. For purposes of this paragraph, “Debtor Entity” means Trustor, any guarantor of the Loan, and any indemnitor under the Environmental Indemnity. Trustor warrants, represents and covenants that no Debtor Entity is or will be a Person (i) that is listed in the Annex to, or otherwise subject to the provisions of, Executive Order 13224 issued on September 24, 2001 (“EO 13224”); (ii) whose name appears on the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) most current list of “Specifically Designated National and Blocked Persons” (which list may be published from time to time in various mediums, including, but not limited to, the OFAC

Trustor covenants and agrees that no Debtor Entity will (A) conduct any business, nor engage in any transaction or dealing, with any Prohibited Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person, or (B) engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in EO 13224. Upon Lender’s request, Trustor further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender any certification or other evidence as may be requested by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, confirming that no Debtor Entity is a Prohibited Person or has taken any action described in subparts (A) and (B) above.

Section 5.22

Flood Zone. Trustor represents and warrants to Trustor’s knowledge that no portion of the Premises is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area. If determined at any time that any part of the Premises is located in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, Trustor will also maintain a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount not less than the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as amended.

Section 5.23

Releases, Extensions, Modifications and Additional Security. Without affecting the personal liability of any Person, including Trustor, for the payment of the Secured Obligations or the lien of this Deed of Trust on the remainder of the Secured Property for the unpaid amount of the Secured Obligations, Trustor hereby agrees that Lender (or Trustee when requested to do so by Lender in writing) may perform any of the following acts:

such sale or sales of less than the whole of the Secured Property shall be less than the aggregate of the Secured Obligations and the expenses thereof, this Deed of Trust and the lien, security interest and assignment hereof shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Secured Property just as though no sale or sales had been made; ; provided, however, that Trustor shall never have any right to require the sale or sales of less than the whole of the Secured Property, but Lender shall have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than the whole of the Secured Property.

When all time periods then legally mandated have expired, and after such notice of sale as may then be legally required has been given, Lender or Trustee may sell the Personalty at a public sale to be held at the time and place specified in the notice of sale. It shall be deemed commercially reasonable for the Trustee to dispose of the Personalty without giving any warranties as to the Personalty and specifically disclaiming all disposition warranties. Alternatively, Lender may choose to dispose of some or all of the Secured Property, in any combination consisting of both personal property and real property, in one sale to be held in accordance with the law and procedures applicable to real property, as and to the extent permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law. agrees that such a sale of personal property together with real property constitutes a commercially reasonable sale of the personal property.

No action by Lender in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise any of its rights hereunder arising upon any Event of Default shall be construed to prejudice its rights upon the occurrence of any other or subsequent Event of Default. No delay on the part of Lender in exercising any such rights shall be construed to preclude it from the exercise thereof at any time while that Event of Default is continuing. Lender may enforce any one or more remedies or rights hereunder successively or concurrently.

Section 6.9

Application of Sale Proceeds and Rents.

(a)

Lender and Trustee shall apply the proceeds of any sale of the Secured Property in the following manner: first, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs, fees and expenses of the sale, including costs of evidence of title in connection with the sale; and, second, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion may choose.

For payment of the Secured Obligations, Lender may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Lender may elect.

Section 6.11

Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Lender 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, Lender, to the extent permitted under applicable law, shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Trustor and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Secured Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Secured Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Lender thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default. Trustor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any and all benefits Trustor may have to claim or assert that the Secured Obligations have been reinstated in accordance with its terms following the withdrawal of any foreclosure proceedings by Lender, and acknowledges and agrees that reinstatement shall occur only upon written agreement of Lender.
