​
​



​
3.           Representations and Warranties. It is a condition of this Deed that the warranties and representations below in this Paragraph be true, correct and complete at all times, and Borrower hereby represents to the best of its knowledge and belief and warrants to Beneficiary as follows:
​
3.1       Due Organization, Authority. Borrower is a limited liability company that is duly organized and validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and registered to do business in the State of Colorado and has power adequate to carry on its business as presently conducted, to own the Property, to make and enter into the Loan Documents and to carry out the transactions contemplated therein.
​
3.2       Execution, Delivery and Effect of Loan Documents. The Loan Documents have each been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower, and each is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity (regardless whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
​
3.3       Other Obligations. Borrower is not in violation of any term or provision of any document governing its organization or existence or in default under any instrument or obligation relating to Borrower’s business, Borrower’s assets or the Property. No party has asserted any claim or default relating to any of the Borrower’s assets or the Property. The execution and performance of the Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, any contract, agreement, document or other instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower may be bound or affected, and do not and will not violate or contravene any Law to which Borrower is subject; nor do any such instruments impose or contemplate any obligations which are or will be inconsistent with the Loan Documents. Borrower has filed all federal, state, county and municipal income tax returns required to have been filed by Borrower and has paid all taxes which have become due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessments received by Borrower. Borrower does not know of any basis for additional assessment with regard to any such tax. No approval by, authorization of, or filing with any federal, state or municipal or other governmental commission, board or agency or other governmental authority is necessary in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents.
​
3.4       Construction and Completion of Improvements. The Improvements have been completed and installed in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all Laws and the plans and specifications previously delivered to Beneficiary. The Improvements are served by electric, gas, sewer, water, telephone and other utilities required for the contemplated uses and operation thereof. Any and all streets, other off-site improvements, access to the Property necessary for its contemplated uses and operation and service by utilities have been completed, are serviceable and have been accepted or approved by appropriate governmental bodies.
​
​



​
Borrower understands that any septic system or sewage treatment facility or sewer line on the Property or to be constructed from the Property to a public sewer line and all personal property and rights therein are conveyed to Trustee hereunder as part of the Property, whether located on the Property as described in Exhibit “A” or adjacent to or connected with the same. Borrower covenants not to allow any tie-ons or connections to any such sewer facility or sewer line or to allow any person to use the sewer facility or sewer line or to make any modifications in the plans and specification or construction contract for the construction of any such sewer facility or sewer line without the written consent of Beneficiary which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower understands that such consent may be withheld and/or conditioned upon receipt of documentation and assurances acceptable to the Beneficiary, and that the Beneficiary will have the first right and lien as secured hereby to any monies or revenues arising from any such tie-ons, connections, or use.
​
3.5       Legal Actions. There are no (i) actions, suits or proceedings including, without limitation, any condemnation, insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, threatened against or affecting Borrower, its business or the Property, or (ii) investigations, at law or in equity, before or by any court or governmental authority, pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, threatened against or affecting Borrower, Borrower’s business or the Property, except actions, suits and proceedings fully covered by insurance and previously fully disclosed in writing to Beneficiary. Borrower is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or any governmental authority affecting Borrower or the Property. Furthermore, to the best knowledge and belief of Borrower, there is no basis for any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding by any court or governmental authority which would in any material respect adversely affect (a) the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents, or (b) the condition (financial or otherwise) or ability of Borrower to meet Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents.
​
3.6       Financial Statements. All statements, financial or otherwise, submitted to Beneficiary in connection with the transaction evidenced by the Loan Documents are true, correct and complete in all respects, and all such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and fairly present the financial condition of the parties or entities covered by such statements as of the date thereof and no additional borrowings have been made by such parties or entities or any of them, since the date thereof, nor has Borrower, or any such party or entity experienced a material, adverse change in its finances, business, operations, affairs or prospects since the date thereof. Borrower and each such party or entity is now solvent.
​
3.7         [Reserved]
​
3.8       Title to Property. LF3 has good and clear record and marketable title in fee simple to the Realty and good and merchantable title to the Personalty and LF3 shall and will warrant and forever defend the title thereto and Trustee’s first and prior lien thereto unto Trustee, its successors and assigns, against the claims of all persons whomsoever.
​
​



​
3.9       Compliance with Laws and Private Covenants. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, the Property complies with all Laws. The Land is a separate and distinct parcel for tax purposes and shall not become subject to Property Taxes and Charges against any other land. Borrower has examined and is familiar with any applicable agreements affecting the Land and there now exists no violation of any such agreements. Borrower has no notice that any of the Improvements encroaches upon any easement over the Land or upon adjacent property.
​
3.10     Independence of the Property. Borrower has not by act or omission permitted any building or other improvements on property not covered by this Deed to rely on the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein to fulfill any municipal or governmental requirement for the existence of such property, building or improvements; and no Improvement on the Property shall rely on any property not covered by this Deed or any interest therein to fulfill any governmental or municipal requirement. Borrower has not by act or omission impaired the integrity of the Property as a single, separate, subdivided zoning lot separate and apart from all other property.
​
4.         Borrower’s Covenants.
​
4.1       Payments.
​
(a)          Secured Debt.

​
(c)          Taxes on Beneficiary. If any Law of the State of Colorado or the United States or any other governmental authority imposes upon Beneficiary the obligation to pay the whole or any part of the Property Taxes and Charges or changes in any way the Laws relating to taxation so as to adversely affect the Loan Documents or Beneficiary, then Borrower shall pay the Property Taxes and Charges or reimburse Beneficiary immediately therefor, unless in the opinion of counsel to Beneficiary, it might be unlawful to require Borrower to pay the same or such payment might result in the imposition of interest prohibited by Law. In such case, an Event of Default shall exist.
​
(d)          Liabilities. Borrower shall pay, prior to delinquency, all debts and liabilities incurred in the construction, operation, development, use, enjoyment, repair, maintenance, replacement, restoration and management of the Property (“Property Liabilities”), including, without limitation, utility charges, sums due mechanics and materialmen and other sums secured or which might be secured by liens on the Property.

Borrower may, in good faith, by appropriate proceedings, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted Property Taxes and Charges or Property Liabilities (“Contested Sums”), after written notice of the same to Beneficiary. During such contest, Borrower shall not be deemed in default hereunder if (i) prior to delinquency of the Contested Sum, Borrower deposits with Beneficiary cash or other security, in form satisfactory to Beneficiary in its sole unfettered discretion, adequate to cover the payment of such Contested Sum and any obligation, whether mature or contingent, of Borrower or Beneficiary therefor, together with interest, costs and penalties thereon and (ii) Borrower promptly causes to be paid any amounts adjudged to be due, together with all costs, penalties and interest thereon, before such judgment becomes final. Each such contest shall be concluded and the Contested Sum, interest, costs and penalties thereon shall be paid prior to the date such judgment becomes final or any writ or order is issued under which the Property could be sold pursuant to such judgment.
​
(f)          Expenses.

(i)    Beneficiary’s exercise and enforcement of its rights and remedies under Paragraphs 6, 7, and elsewhere hereof; and (iii) Beneficiary’s protection of the Property and its interest therein.
​

​
(b)          Liens. Borrower shall promptly discharge any mechanics’, laborers’, materialmen’s or similar lien, charge, attachment, or lis pendens filed or recorded which relates to Borrower or the Property. Pursuant to applicable law, Beneficiary refuses to consent to the furnishing of any labor or materials on the Property which might be deemed to create a lien or liens superior to this Deed.
​
(c)          Compliance with Laws and Private Covenants.

​
(b)        Should the total Tax and Insurance Deposits on hand not be
sufficient to pay all of the Taxes, together with all penalties and interest thereon, when the same become due and payable, then the Borrower shall pay to Beneficiary promptly on demand any amount necessary to make up the deficiency. If the total of such Tax and Insurance Deposits exceeds the amount required to pay the Taxes, such excess shall be credited on subsequent payments to be made for such items.
​
(c)        All such Tax and Insurance Deposits:

​
(a)          Collection. Borrower shall use its best efforts to collect the maximum amount of insurance proceeds payable on account of any Casualty (“Insurance Proceeds”), and the maximum award of payment or compensation payable on account of any Taking (“Taking Proceeds”). In the case of a Casualty, Beneficiary may, at its sole option, make proof of loss to the insurer, if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall not settle or otherwise compromise any claim for Insurance Proceeds or Taking Proceeds without Beneficiary’s prior written consent.
(b)          Assignment to Beneficiary.

(i)           payment of any indebtedness constituting a Secured Debt, either in whole or in part, in any order determined by Beneficiary in its sole and unfettered discretion; or
​
(ii)         repair or replacement of any part of the Property so destroyed, damaged or taken, in which case Beneficiary may impose such terms, conditions and requirements for the disbursement of proceeds for such purposes as it, in its sole unfettered discretion, deems advisable. Beneficiary shall not be a trustee with respect to any Insurance Proceeds or Taking Proceeds, and may commingle Insurance Proceeds or Taking Proceeds with its funds without obligation to pay interest thereon.

​
If any portion of any indebtedness constituting a Secured Debt shall thereafter be unpaid, Borrower shall not be excused from the payment thereof in accordance with the applicable governing loan documents, including, without limitation, the Loan Documents. Beneficiary shall not, in any event or circumstance, be liable or responsible for failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any Insurance Proceeds or Taking Proceeds.
​
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, provided (i) the Borrower is not then in default under this Deed, or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the Insurance Proceeds are deposited in an account with the Beneficiary and disbursed in such a manner as to ensure the restoration of the Property to the approximate condition it was in prior to the loss, (iii) the Insurance Proceeds, together with funds contributed by the Borrower (if necessary), are sufficient to restore the Property to the approximate condition it was in prior to the loss, (iv) the time period remaining on the Loan is sufficient to restore the Property to the approximate condition it was in prior to the loss, and (v) after the restoration of the Property the loan-to-value ratio will be the same as or lower than it was at the time of the execution of this Deed, then, under those circumstances, the Beneficiary will permit the Borrower to use the Insurance Proceeds for the restoration of the Property.

grace, if any, provided in an instrument or agreement under which such indebtedness was created; or (B) default in the observance or performance of any agreement or condition relating to any indebtedness (other than the Secured Debt) or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event shall occur or condition exist, the effect of which default or other event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of such indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders) to cause (determined without regard to whether any notice is required), any such indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity, or (ii) any indebtedness (other than the Secured Debt) of Borrower shall be declared to be (or shall become) due and payable, or required to be prepaid (other than by (A) a regularly scheduled required prepayment, or (ii) a mandatory (prepayment (unless such required prepayment or mandatory prepayment results from a default thereunder or an event of the type that constitutes and Event of Default)), prior to the stated maturity thereof; provided, however, that subpart (ii) does not apply to secured indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such indebtedness, if such sale or transfer is permitted under the documents providing for such indebtedness.
​
7.2       Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at any time thereafter, at its option and without notice, exercise any or all of the following remedies:
​
(a)          Acceleration. Declare any and all indebtedness constituting a Secured Debt to be immediately due and payable, at which point such indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable;
​
(b)          Foreclosure. Foreclose this Deed by instituting a foreclosure suit in any court having jurisdiction. Borrower hereby waives all right to appraisal allowed under any Laws, which appraisal may be obtained at the option of Beneficiary;
​
(c)        Offset Rights. Apply in satisfaction of the Secured Debt or any amount at any time to become due or payable in connection with the ownership, occupancy, use, restoration or repair of the Property, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from Beneficiary to Borrower, including, without limitation, Insurance Proceeds, Taking Proceeds and funds held in the escrow account referred to in Paragraph 4.3.1;
​
(d)        Cure of Default. Without releasing Borrower from any obligation, including, without limitation, Borrower’s obligations created hereunder, under the Loan Documents, or under any other document that creates, secures, or relates to a Secured Debt, cure any Event of Default. In connection therewith, Beneficiary may enter upon the Property and do such acts and things as Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable to protect the Property or the Leases, including, without limitation: (i) paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien, or claim, Property Taxes and Charges or Property Liabilities, (ii) paying any Insurance Premiums, and (iii) employing counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Beneficiary in the foregoing. Should Beneficiary make any such payments, the amount thereof shall be secured hereby and Borrower shall reimburse Beneficiary therefor immediately upon demand, and said amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate specified in the Note until repaid;
​
​



​
(e)        Possession of Property. Take physical possession of the Property and of all books, records, documents and accounts relating thereto and exercise, without interference from Borrower, any and all rights which Borrower has with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, the right at Borrower's expense to rent and lease the same, to hire a professional property manager for the Property, and to apply any rents, royalties, income or profits collected to the reduction of the Secured Debt without in any way curing or waiving any default. If necessary to obtain possession as provided for above, Beneficiary may, without exposure to liability from Borrower or other persons, invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess Borrower, including, without limitation, one or more actions for forcible entry and detainer, trespass and restitution. In connection with any action taken by Beneficiary pursuant to this subparagraph (e), Beneficiary shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Borrower resulting from any failure to let the Property or from any other act or omission of Beneficiary in managing the Property unless caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Beneficiary, nor shall Beneficiary be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease or by reason of any Loan Document. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Beneficiary from and against any liability, loss or damage incurred by Beneficiary under any Lease or under the Loan Documents as a result of Beneficiary's exercise of rights or remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Should Beneficiary incur any such liability, the amount thereof shall be secured hereby and Borrower shall reimburse Beneficiary therefor immediately upon demand, and said amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate specified in the Note until repaid. Beneficiary shall have full power to make from time to time all alterations, renovations, repairs and replacements to the Property as may seem proper to Beneficiary;
​
(f)        Sale by Trustee. Beneficiary may elect to have the Trustee, or his successor or substitute as hereinafter provided, enforce this trust by filing a notice of election and demand for sale. In such event, Beneficiary shall cause written notice to be given to Trustee by submitting those documents required pursuant to CRS § 38-38-101 et. seq. In the event of any conflict with the time periods (or requirements) set forth below for action by the Trustee, the requirements of applicable Colorado law (including but not limited to CRS § 38-38-101 et. seq as amended) shall expressly govern. No later than ten (10) days following the receipt of such notice, Trustee shall cause the notice to be recorded in the county in which the Property is located. The Trustee shall mail a copy of the notice to those persons of interest that were listed in the initial notice no more than twenty (20) days after the recording of the notice. Trustee shall advertise the sale of the Property for five (5) consecutive weeks in a newspaper published in the county in which the Property is located. Trustee shall set the sale date to be not less than 110 calendar days and not more than 125 calendar days from the date of the recording of the notice. Trustee shall sell the Property at a public auction, in accordance with the notice, at any door or entrance to a courthouse or within any building where the office of the county clerk and recorder is located to the highest bidder for cash, selling all of the Property as an entirety or in such parcels as the Trustee may elect, and make due conveyance to the purchaser of Trustee’s confirmation deed all in accordance with Title 38, Article 38, Part 1 of the Colorado Revised Statute, as amended, or any other present or subsequent laws relating to same; and out of the money arising from such sale, the Trustee shall pay first, all the expenses of advertising the sale and making the conveyance, including a reasonable commission, which commission shall be due and owing in addition to the attorneys’
​
​



​
fees provided for in the Note and then to Beneficiary the full amount of principal, interest, attorneys’ fees and other charges due and unpaid on the Note and all other indebtedness secured hereby, rendering the balance of the sales price, if any, to Borrower, its successors, heirs or assigns; and the recitals in the conveyance to the purchaser or purchasers shall be full and conclusive evidence of the truth of the matters therein stated, and all prerequisites to said sale shall be presumed to have been performed, and such sale and conveyance shall be conclusive against Borrower, its successors, heirs and assigns.
​
It is agreed that in the event a foreclosure hereunder should be commenced by the Trustee, or his substitute or successor, Beneficiary may at any time before the sale of the Property direct the said Trustee to abandon the sale, and may then institute suit for the collection of the Note, and for the foreclosure of the lien created by this Deed; it is further agreed that if Beneficiary should institute a suit for the collection thereof, and for a foreclosure of the lien created by this Deed, it may at any time before the entry of a final judgment in said suit dismiss the same, and require the Trustee, his substitute or successor, to sell the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Deed.
​
Beneficiary shall have the right to purchase at any sale of the Property, and if it is the highest bidder, to have the amount for which the Property is sold credited on the debt then owing.
​
In the event any sale is made of the Property, or any portion thereof, under the terms of this Deed, Borrower, its successors, heirs and assigns, shall forthwith upon the making of such sale surrender and deliver possession of the Property so sold to the purchaser at such sale, and in the event of their failure to do so they shall thereupon from and after the making of such sale be and continue as tenants at will of such purchaser, and in the event of their failure to surrender possession of the Property upon demand, the purchaser, his successors, heirs and assigns, shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for forcible detainer in any applicable forum.;
​
(g)        Receiver. Secure the appointment of a receiver or receivers, as a matter of right for the Property whether such receivership be incident to a proposed sale of such Property or otherwise, and without regard to the value of the Property or the solvency of Borrower. Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver or receivers, waives any and all defenses to such appointment and agrees not to oppose any application therefor by Beneficiary. The appointment of such receiver, trustee or other appointee by virtue of any court order, or Laws shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Beneficiary to receive payment of the rents and income pursuant to the Lease Assignment;
​
(h)        Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Exercise any and all rights of a secured party with respect to the Personalty under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Colorado and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights and remedies:
​
(1)        take possession of, assemble and collect the Personalty or render it unusable by Borrower; and
​
​



​
(2)        require Borrower to assemble the Personalty and make it available at any place Beneficiary may designate so as to allow Beneficiary to take possession or dispose of the Personalty.
​
Written notice mailed to Borrower, as provided herein, fifteen (15) days prior to the date of public sale of the Personalty or prior to the date after which private sale of the Personalty will be made, shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, if held contemporaneously with a sale of Property as provided in this Deed. In the event of a foreclosure sale, whether made by Beneficiary under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court, the Personalty and the other parts of the Property may, at the option of Beneficiary, be sold in parts or as a whole. It shall not be necessary that Beneficiary take possession of the Personalty prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this subparagraph is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the Personalty be present at the location of such sale;
​
(i)         Subrogation. Have and exercise all rights and remedies of any person, entity or body politic to whom Beneficiary renders payment or performance in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any rights or remedies under any mechanics' or vendors' lien or liens, superior titles, mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, encumbrances, rights, equities and charges of all kinds heretofore or hereafter existing on the Property to the extent that the same are paid or discharged from the proceeds of the Note whether or not released of record; and
​
(j)         SDN List. Upon an Event of Default under Paragraph 4.16 herein, Beneficiary shall have the right to take any and all action or make any report or notification required by OFAC or any other applicable governmental agency or by applicable laws.
​
(k)        Other. Take such other actions or commence such other proceedings as Beneficiary deems necessary or advisable to protect its interest in the Property and its ability to collect the Secured Debt as are available under applicable Laws.
​
Any sums advanced by Beneficiary under this Paragraph 7.2 shall bear interest at the Default Rate specified in the Note, shall be payable by Borrower on demand and, together with such interest, shall constitute a part of the Secured Debt.
​
All sums realized by Beneficiary under this Paragraph 7.2, less all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary under this Paragraph 7.2, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements, property management fees, costs of alterations, renovations, repairs and replacements made or authorized by Beneficiary and all expenses incident to Beneficiary taking possession of the Property, and such sums as Beneficiary deems appropriate as a reserve to meet future expenses of the Property, shall be applied to the Secured Debt in such order as Beneficiary shall determine. Thereafter, any balance shall be paid to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
​
​



​
7.3       Holding Over. Should Borrower, during the continuance of an Event of Default, continue in possession of the Property, either lawfully or unlawfully, Borrower shall be a tenant from day to day, terminable at the will of either Borrower or Beneficiary, at a reasonable market rate rental per diem, based upon the value of the Property occupied computed by Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion, such rental to be due and payable daily to Beneficiary.
​
7.4       General Provisions.
​
(a)        Multiple Sales. Several sales may be made pursuant to Paragraph
7.2 without exhausting Beneficiary's right to such remedy for any unsatisfied part of the Secured Debt and without exhausting the power to exercise such remedy for any other part of the Secured Debt, whether matured at the time or subsequently maturing. If a part of the Property is sold pursuant to Paragraph 7.2, and the proceeds thereof do not fully pay and satisfy the Secured Debt, such sale, if so made, shall not in any manner affect the unpaid and unsatisfied part of the Secured Debt, but as to such unpaid and unsatisfied part, the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect as though no such sale had been made.
​
(b)        Cumulative Remedies. All of the rights, remedies and options set forth in Paragraph 7.2 or otherwise available at law or in equity are cumulative and may be exercised without regard to the adequacy of or exclusion of any other right, remedy, option or security held by Beneficiary.
​
(c)        Right to Purchase. At any sale or sales of the Property pursuant to Paragraph 7.2, Beneficiary shall have the right to purchase the Property being sold, and in such cases the right to credit upon the amount of the bid made therefor (to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid) against the amount of the Secured Debt then due.
​
(d)        Right to Terminate Proceedings. Beneficiary may, at any time before conclusion of any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided for in Paragraph 7.2, terminate, without prejudice to Beneficiary, such proceedings or actions. Borrower does not waive its rights to request a stay in enforcement of the terms of this lease, including Beneficiary’s termination rights.
​
(e)        No Waiver or Release. Beneficiary may resort to any remedies and the security given by the Loan Documents in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Beneficiary in its sole unfettered discretion, and any such action shall not in any way be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits or remedies evidenced by the Loan Documents. The failure of Beneficiary to exercise any right, remedy or option provided for in the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the covenants or obligations secured by the Loan Documents. No sale of all or any of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Beneficiary and no extension of the time for the payment of the whole or any part of the Secured Debt or any other indulgence given by Beneficiary to Borrower or any other person or entity, shall operate to release or in any manner affect Beneficiary's interest in the Property or the liability of Borrower to pay the Secured Debt.
​
​



​
(f)        Waivers and Agreements Regarding Remedies. To the full extent Borrower may do so, Borrower hereby:
​
(i)         agrees that Borrower will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any laws now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and waives and releases all rights of redemption, exemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, extension and notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the Secured Debt
​
(ii)       waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, including the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the interests hereby created, and agrees not to assert any right under any Law pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents, or other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Beneficiary under the terms of the Loan Documents, or any other applicable loan documentation to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Secured Debt without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Beneficiary to the payment of the Secured Debt out of proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever;
​
(iii)      waives any right to bring or utilize any defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than one which denies the existence or sufficiency of the facts upon which the action is grounded. If any defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than one permitted by the preceding sentence, is timely raised in such foreclosure action, such defense, counterclaim or setoff shall be dismissed. If such defense, counterclaim or setoff is based on a claim which could be tried in an action for money damages, such claim may be brought in a separate action which shall not thereafter be consolidated with Beneficiary’s foreclosure action. The bringing of such separate action for money damages shall not be deemed to afford any grounds for staying Beneficiary’s action;
​
(iv)       waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies which Borrower may have or be able to assert by reason of the provisions of any Laws pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties; and
​
(v)        waives the defense of laches and any applicable statues of limitation.
​
(g)        Concerning the Trustee.
​
(i)         Trustee, by its acceptance hereof, covenants faithfully to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable, however, only for willful negligence or misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services rendered by it in accordance with the terms hereof;
​
(ii)       Trustee may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days’ notice in writing to Beneficiary..
​
​



​
(iii)      In the event of the death, removal, resignation, refusal to act, or the inability to act of Trustee or in Beneficiary’s sole unfettered discretion for any reason whatsoever, Beneficiary may, at any time or from time to time without notice and without specifying any reason therefor and without applying to any court, select and appoint a successor Trustee, and all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon become vested in such successor without conveyance from the predecessor Trustee. Neither Trustee nor any substitute Trustee shall be required to make oath, render accountings or to file inventory with any court or give bond for the faithful performance of its duties, unless required by Beneficiary. Any substitute Trustee shall be appointed by written instrument duly recorded in the Office of the Register of Deeds in the county where the Realty is located, which appointment may be executed by an authorized agent of Beneficiary and such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the Members or Managers and any superior officer of Beneficiary. Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the herein-named Trustee, or its successors or assigns in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. Borrower hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and of its heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, that the recital contained in any deed or deeds executed in due form by Trustee or any substitute Trustee, acting under the provisions of this Deed, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts recited, and that it shall not be necessary to prove in any court, otherwise than by such recitals, the existence of the facts essential to authorize the execution and delivery of such deed or deeds and the passing of title thereby.
​
(iv)      Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by it hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. All monies received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other monies (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any monies received by it hereunder (except to the extent required by Law). Borrower will reimburse Trustee for, and indemnify, save harmless and defend Trustee against, any and all liability and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) which Trustee may incur in performance of its duties under the Loan Documents.
​
(v)        Oath, bond and inventory on the part of the Trustee are waived.
​
8.         Possession and Defeasance.
​
8.1       Possession. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default and except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary, Borrower shall retain full possession of the Property, subject, however, to all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.
​
​



​
8.2       Defeasance. If all of the Secured Debt is paid as the same becomes due and payable and if all of the covenants, warranties, conditions, undertakings and agreements made in the Loan Documents are kept and performed, then in that event only, all rights under the Loan Documents shall terminate and the Property shall become wholly clear of the liens, grants, security interests, conveyance and assignments evidenced hereby, and Beneficiary shall release or cause to be released, such liens, grants, assignments, conveyances and security interests in due form at Borrower’s cost, and this Deed shall be void.
​
Recitals of any matters or facts in any instrument executed hereunder shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. To the extent permitted by law, such an instrument may describe the grantee as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.” Beneficiary shall not have any duty to determine the rights of persons claiming to be rightful grantees of any of the Property. When the Property has been fully released, such release shall operate as a reassignment of all future rents, issues and profits of the Property to the person or persons legally entitled thereto, unless such release expressly provides to the contrary.
​
9.         General.
​
9.1       Beneficiary’s Right to Waive, Consent or Release. Beneficiary may at any time and from time to time, in writing: (a) waive compliance by Borrower with any covenant herein made by Borrower to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing; (b) consent to Borrower doing any act which Borrower is prohibited hereunder from doing, or consent to Borrower’s failing to do any act which Borrower is required hereunder to do, to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing; or (c) release any part of the Property, or any interest therein from this Deed and the lien created by the Loan Documents or any other applicable loan documentation. No such act shall in any way impair the rights hereunder of Beneficiary, except to the extent specifically agreed to by Beneficiary in such writing.
​
9.2       No Impairment. The interests and rights of Beneficiary under the Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including, without limitation, (a) any renewal, extension or modification which Beneficiary may grant with respect to any of the Secured Debt, (b) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Beneficiary may grant in respect of the Property or any interest therein, or (c) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Secured Debt.
​
9.3       Amendments. The Loan Documents may not be waived, changed or discharged orally, but only by an agreement in writing and signed by Beneficiary, and any oral waiver, change or discharge of any provision of the Loan Documents shall be without authority and of no force and effect. Such waiver, change or discharge shall be effective only in the specific instances and for the purposes for which given and to the extent therein specified. The Trustee shall not be required to join in the execution of any amendment or modification hereof.
​
9.4       No Usury. Any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents notwithstanding, Beneficiary shall not be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall Borrower be obligated to pay interest on, any of the Secured Debt in excess of the maximum rate of interest
​
​



​
permitted by applicable Laws, and if any provision of the Loan Documents shall ever be construed or held to permit the collection or to require the payment of any amount of interest in excess of that permitted by such Laws, the provisions of this Paragraph 9.4 shall control unless contrary or inconsistent with any provision of the Note, in which case the provisions of the Note shall control. Borrower’s and Beneficiary’s intent is to conform strictly to the usury laws now in force, and the Loan Documents evidencing or relating to any of the Secured Debt shall be held subject to reduction to conform to said Laws as now or hereafter construed.
​
9.5       Notices. Any notice, request, demand or other communication required or permitted under the Loan Documents (unless otherwise expressly provided therein) shall be given in writing by delivering the same in person to the intended addressee, by overnight courier service with guaranteed next day delivery or by certified United States Mail, postage prepaid or telegram sent to the intended addressee at the applicable addresses of the parties set forth above or to such different addresses as either Borrower or Beneficiary shall have designated by written notice to the other sent in accordance herewith. Such notices shall be deemed given when received or, if earlier, in the case of delivery by certified United States Mail, two (2) days after deposit therein. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall of itself entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
​
9.6       Successors and Assigns. The terms, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon Borrower, and any permitted successors and assigns of Borrower, and shall inure to the benefit of Beneficiary and its successors, substitutes and assigns, and shall constitute covenants running with the Land. All references in this Deed to Borrower or Beneficiary shall be deemed to include all such successors, substitutes and assigns. If, in contravention of the provisions of this Deed or otherwise, ownership of the Property or any portion thereof becomes vested in a person other than Borrower, Beneficiary may, without notice to the Borrower, whether or not Beneficiary has given written consent to such change in ownership, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to the Loan Documents and the Secured Debt in the same manner as with Borrower, without in any way violating or discharging Beneficiary’s remedies under or Borrower’s liability under the Loan Documents or on the Secured Debt.
​
9.7       Severability. A determination that any provision of the Loan Documents is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision, and any determination that the application of any provision of the Loan Documents to any person or circumstances is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to any other persons or circumstances.
​
9.8       Gender and Construction. Within this Deed, words of any gender shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held and construed to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. References in this Deed to “herein”, “hereunder” or “hereby” shall refer to this entire Deed, unless the context otherwise requires. When the phrase “in its sole unfettered discretion” is used in the Loan Documents with respect to Beneficiary, it shall permit Beneficiary to evaluate such criteria as it
​
​



​
chooses in approving or disapproving the requested or pending action without regard to the reasonableness of such criteria or Beneficiary’s ultimate decision.
​
9.9       Limitation of Liability. The personal liability of Borrower and its partners for the obligations, covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained within the Loan Documents, as well as the obligations arising hereunder, are and shall be limited to the extent set forth in the Note. If Borrower is comprised of more than one party, then the obligations, covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are and shall be joint and several as to each party.
​
9.10     Modifications. References to any of the Loan Documents in this Deed shall be deemed to include all amendments, modifications, extensions and renewals thereof.
​
9.11     Governing Laws. This Deed shall be construed according to and governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, provided, however, that certain of the Loan Documents are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia.
​
9.12     Captions. All paragraph and subparagraph captions are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of any provision herein.
​
9.13     Acknowledgement of Receipt. Borrower hereby acknowledges receipt, without charge, of a true and complete copy of this Deed.

TRS transfers and assigns to Beneficiary, as additional security for the Indebtedness, TRS’s rights, after the rejection of the Ground Lease by the Ground Lessor, to treat the Ground Lease as terminated, and any termination of the Ground Lease made by TRS without Beneficiary’s prior written consent shall be void and have no legal effect.
​

As long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary agrees that it will not enforce its rights under the preceding sentence, but will permit TRS to exercise such rights with Beneficiary’s prior written consent.
​

If Beneficiary acquires the Ground Lessor’s Estate and the Leasehold Estate (whether pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease, by foreclosure of this Deed, or otherwise), the Ground Lessor’s Estate and the Leasehold Estate shall not merge as a result of such acquisition and shall remain separate and distinct for all purposes after such acquisition unless and until Beneficiary shall expressly elect in writing to merge the Ground Lessor’s Estate and the Leasehold Estate.
​
I.            New Lease. If (i) the Ground Lease is cancelled or terminated for any reason before the natural expiration of its term, and (ii) Beneficiary (or its designee) obtains from Ground Lessor a new lease in accordance with the term of the Ground Lease, TRS shall have no right, title or interest in and to the new lease or the leasehold estate created by the new lease.

This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as any of the Indebtedness remains unpaid, provided, however, shall not limit any of the TRS’s rights related to the matters such power of attorney is so granted.
