Section 1.3            Security Agreement.  This Deed of Trust is both a real property mortgage and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code.  The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property.  By executing and delivering this Deed of Trust, Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations, a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and the other property constituting the Property to the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and such other property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the “Collateral”).  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral.  Upon request or demand of Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Lender.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  To the extent permitted by law, any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Borrower.  The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.  The principal place of business of Borrower (Debtor) is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Lender (Secured Party) is as set forth on page one hereof.


 


Section 1.4            Fixture Filing.  Certain of the Property may be or may become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land, described or referred to in this Deed of Trust, and this Deed of Trust, upon being filed of record in the real estate records of the city or county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement naming Borrower as the Debtor and Lender as the Secured Party filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become fixtures.


 


Section 1.5            Pledges of Monies Held.  Borrower hereby pledges to Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of Lender in connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Accounts (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) and the Net Proceeds, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Deed of Trust.

If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

(b)           It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for any decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured.  Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Lender’s possession.


 


(c)           Lender may resort for the payment and performance of the Obligations (including, but not limited to, the payment of the Debt) to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect.

The rights of Lender under this Deed of Trust shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others.

This Deed of Trust shall continue as a Lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.

Neither the appointment of a receiver for the Property by any court at the request of Lender or by agreement with Borrower nor the entering into possession of all or any part of the Property by such receiver shall constitute Lender a "mortgagee in possession" or otherwise make Lender responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Property or the occupancy, operation or use thereof.  Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the absolute and unconditional right to the appointment of a receiver in any independent and/or separate action brought by Lender regardless of whether Lender seeks any relief in such action other than the appointment of a receiver (and such receiver shall have all powers and rights to the extent permitted by applicable law).  In that respect, Borrower waives any express or implied requirement under common law or A.R.S. §12-1241 that a receiver may be appointed only ancillary to other judicial or non-judicial relief.

Section 16.4            Foreclosure. To the extent permitted by law, in any action by Lender to recover a deficiency judgment for any balance due under the Note upon the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or in any action to recover the obligations secured hereby, and as a material inducement to making the loan evidenced by the Note, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the successful bid amount made at any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale, if any, shall be conclusively deemed to constitute the fair market value of the Property, that such bid amount shall be binding against Borrower in any proceeding seeking to determine or contest the fair market value of the Property and that such bid amount shall be the preferred alternative means of determining and establishing the fair market value of the Property. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives and relinquishes any right to have the fair market value of the Property determined by a judge or jury in any action seeking a deficiency judgment or any action on the obligations secured hereby, including, without limitation, a hearing to determine fair market value pursuant to A.R.S. §12-1566, §33-814, §33-725 or §33-727.


 


Section 16.5            Borrower.  Borrower constitutes a “trustor” as defined in A.R.S. §33-801(11).


 


Section 16.6            Remedies. In addition to, and in no way in limitation of anything contained in this Deed of Trust, Lender shall be entitled to proceed as to both the real property and all personal or mixed property and all fixtures in accordance with Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to the real property as provided by A.R.S. § 47-9604(A) and (B).


 


Section 16.7            Security Agreement and Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement and a financing statement (fixture filing) and it is hereby recited (to the extent required by A.R.S. § 47-9502(B) and (C) because any portion of the Property may constitute fixtures) that this Deed of Trust is to be filed in the office where a mortgage on the real property would be recorded, which is the office of the Recorder of Maricopa County, Arizona.

Section 16.8            Power of Sale.  Should Lender elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale contained herein, Lender shall give such notice of default and of election to cause the Property to be sold as may be required by law or as may be necessary to cause Trustee to exercise the power of sale granted herein.  Trustee shall then record and give such notice of trustee's sale as then required by law and, after the expiration of such time as may be required by law, may sell the Property at the time and place specified in the notice of sale, as a whole or in separate parcels as directed by Lender at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale, all in accordance with applicable law.  Trustee, from time to time, may postpone or continue the sale of all or any portion of the Property by public declaration at the time and place last appointed for the sale.  No other notice of the postponed sale shall be required.  Upon any sale, Trustee shall deliver its deed conveying the property sold, without any covenant or warranty, express or implied, to the purchaser or purchasers at the sale.  The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive as to the accuracy thereof.  Any person, including Trustee and Lender (but excluding Borrower), may purchase at the sale.  In the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien on the remaining portion of the Property.
