	 	Page 2







Any inspections or
tests made by Lender shall be for Lender’s purposes only and shall not be construed to create
any responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Grantor or to any other person. The
representations and warranties contained herein are based on Grantor’s due diligence in
investigating the Property for Hazardous Substances. Grantor hereby (1) releases and waives any
future claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable
for cleanup or other costs under any such laws; and (2) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless Lender against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and
expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of
this section of the Deed of Trust or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture,
storage, disposal, release or threatened release occurring prior to Grantor’s ownership or
interest in the Property, whether or not the same was or should have been known to Grantor. The
provisions of this section of the Deed of Trust, including the obligation to indemnify and
defend, shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the satisfaction and reconveyance of
the lien of this Deed of Trust and shall not be affected by Lender’s acquisition of any
interest in the Property, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.




Nuisance, Waste. Grantor shall not cause, conduct or permit any nuisance nor commit, permit, or
suffer any stripping of or waste on or to the Property or any portion of the Property. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor will not remove, or grant to any other party
the right to remove, any timber, minerals (including oil and gas), coal, clay, scoria, soil,
gravel or rock products without Lender’s prior written consent.




Removal of Improvements. Grantor shall not demolish or remove any Improvements from the Real
Property without Lender’s prior written consent. As a condition to the removal of any
Improvements, Lender may require Grantor to make arrangements satisfactory to Lender to replace
such Improvements with Improvements of at least equal value.




Lender’s Right to Enter. Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives may enter upon the Real
Property at all reasonable times to attend to Lender’s interests and to inspect the Real
Property for purposes of Grantor’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Deed of
Trust.




Compliance with Governmental Requirements. Grantor shall promptly comply with all laws,
ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all governmental authorities
applicable to the use or occupancy of the Property, including without limitation, the Americans
With Disabilities Act. Grantor may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance, or regulation
and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as
Grantor has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender’s sole
opinion, Lender’s interests in the Property are not jeopardized. Lender may require Grantor to
post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender’s
interest.




Duty to Protect. Grantor agrees neither to abandon or leave unattended the Property. Grantor
shall do all other acts, in addition to those acts set forth above in this section, which from
the character and use of the Property are reasonably necessary to protect and preserve the
Property.



TAXES AND LIENS. The following provisions relating to the taxes and liens on the Property are part
of this Deed of Trust:




Payment. Grantor shall pay when due (and in all events prior to delinquency) all taxes, special
taxes, assessments, charges (including water and sewer), fines and impositions levied against
or on account of the Property, and shall pay when due all claims for work done on or for
services rendered or material furnished to the Property. Grantor shall maintain the Property
free of all liens having priority over or equal to the interest of Lender under this Deed of
Trust, except for the lien of taxes and assessments not due and except as otherwise provided in
this Deed of Trust.




Right to Contest. Grantor may withhold payment of any tax, assessment, or claim in connection
with a good faith dispute over the obligation to pay, so long as Lender’s interest in the
Property is not jeopardized. If a lien arises or is filed as a result of nonpayment, Grantor
shall within fifteen (15) days after the lien arises or, if a lien is filed, within fifteen
(15) days after Grantor has notice of the filing, secure the discharge of the lien, or if
requested by Lender, deposit with Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or other
security satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge the lien plus any costs
and attorneys’ fees, or other charges that could accrue as a result of a foreclosure or sale
under the lien. In any contest, Grantor shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any
adverse judgment before enforcement against the Property. Grantor shall name Lender as an
additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest proceedings.




Evidence of Payment. Grantor shall upon demand furnish to Lender satisfactory evidence of
payment of the taxes or assessments and shall authorize the appropriate governmental official
to deliver to Lender at any time a written statement of the taxes and assessments against the
Property.




Notice of Construction. Grantor shall notify Lender at least fifteen (15) days before any work
is commenced, any services are furnished, or any materials are supplied to the Property, if any
mechanic’s lien, materialmen’s lien, or other lien could be asserted on account of the work,
services, or materials. Grantor  will  upon request of Lender furnish to Lender advance
assurances satisfactory to Lender that Grantor can and will pay the cost of such improvements.



PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE. The following provisions relating to insuring the Property are a part
of this Deed of Trust.




Maintenance of Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain policies of fire insurance with
standard extended coverage endorsements on a replacement basis for the full insurable value
covering all Improvements on the Real Property in an amount sufficient to avoid application of
any coinsurance clause, and with a standard mortgagee clause in favor of Lender. Grantor shall
also procure and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance in such coverage amounts as
Lender may request with Trustee and Lender being named as additional insureds in such liability
insurance policies. Additionally, Grantor shall maintain such other insurance, including but
not limited to hazard, business interruption, and boiler insurance, as Lender may reasonably
require. Policies shall be written in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable
to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon
request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of
insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be
cancelled or diminished without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender. Each
insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender
will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person.
Should the Real Property be located in an area designated by the Director of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area, Grantor agrees to obtain and
maintain Federal Flood Insurance, if available, within 45 days after notice is given by Lender
that the Property is located in a special flood hazard area, for the full unpaid principal
balance of the loan and any prior liens on the property securing the loan, up to the maximum
policy limits set under the National Flood Insurance Program, or as otherwise required by
Lender, and to maintain such insurance for the term of the loan.




Application of Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the
Property. Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of
the casualty. Whether or not Lender’s security is impaired, Lender may, at Lender’s election,
receive and retain the proceeds of any insurance and apply the proceeds to the reduction of the
Indebtedness, payment of any lien affecting the Property, or the restoration and repair of the
Property. If Lender elects to apply the proceeds to restoration and repair, Grantor shall
repair or replace the damaged or destroyed Improvements in a manner satisfactory to Lender.
Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of such expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the
proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration if Grantor is not in default under
this Deed of Trust. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within 180 days after their
receipt and which Lender has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Property shall be
used first to pay any amount owing to Lender under this Deed of Trust, then to pay accrued
interest, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the principal balance of the
Indebtedness. If Lender holds any proceeds after payment in full of the Indebtedness, such
proceeds shall be paid to Grantor as Grantor’s interests may appear.




Grantor’s Report on Insurance. Upon request of Lender, however not more than once a year.
Grantor shall furnish to Lender a report on each existing policy of insurance showing: (1) the
name of the insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of the policy; (4) the property
insured, the then current replacement value of such property, and the manner of determining
that value; and (5) the expiration date of the policy. Grantor shall, upon request of Lender,
have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine the cash value replacement cost
of the Property.

LENDER’S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect
Lender’s interest in the Property or if Grantor fails to comply with any provision of this Deed of
Trust or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Grantor’s failure to discharge or pay
when due any amounts Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Deed of Trust or any
Related Documents, Lender on Grantor’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action
that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes,
liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the
Property and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Property. All such
expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate
charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by
Grantor. All such expenses will become a part of the  Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option, will
(A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the  balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be
payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable
insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment
which will be due and payable at the Note’s maturity. The Deed of Trust also will secure payment
of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender
may be entitled upon Default.

part of this Deed of Trust:




Title. Grantor warrants that: (a) Grantor holds good and marketable title of record to the

opinion issued in favor of, and accepted by, Lender in connection with this Deed of Trust, and
(b) Grantor has the full right, power, and authority to execute and deliver this Deed of Trust
to Lender.




Defense of Title. Subject to the exception in the paragraph above, Grantor warrants and will
forever defend the  title to the Property against the lawful claims of all persons. In the
event any action or proceeding is commenced that questions Grantor’s title or the interest of
Trustee or Lender under this Deed of Trust, Grantor shall defend the action at Grantor’s
expense. Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Lender shall be entitled to
participate in the proceeding and to be represented in the proceeding by counsel of Lender’s
own choice, and Grantor will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender such instruments as
Lender may request from time to time to permit such participation.




Compliance With Laws. Grantor warrants that the Property and Grantor’s use of the Property
complies with all existing applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations of governmental
authorities.




Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations, warranties, and agreements
made by Grantor in this Deed of Trust shall survive the execution and delivery of this Deed of
Trust, shall be continuing in nature, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time
as Grantor’s Indebtedness shall be paid in full.



CONDEMNATION. The following provisions relating to condemnation proceedings are a part of this
Deed of Trust:




Proceedings. If any proceeding in condemnation is filed, Grantor shall promptly notify Lender
in writing, and Grantor shall promptly take such steps as may be necessary to defend the action
and obtain the award. Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Lender shall be
entitled to participate in the proceeding and to be represented in the proceeding by counsel of
its own choice, and Grantor will deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender such instruments
and documentation as may be requested by Lender from time to time to permit such participation.




Application of Net Proceeds. If all or any part of the Property is condemned by eminent domain
proceedings or by any proceeding or purchase in lieu of condemnation, Lender may at its
election require that all or any portion of the net proceeds of the award be applied to the
Indebtedness or the repair or restoration of the  Property. The net proceeds of the award shall
mean the award after payment of all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred by
Trustee or Lender in connection with the condemnation.



IMPOSITION OF TAXES, FEES AND CHARGES BY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. The following provisions
relating to governmental taxes, fees and charges are a part of this Deed of Trust:




Current Taxes, Fees and Charges. Upon request by Lender, Grantor shall execute such documents in
addition to this Deed of Trust and take whatever other action is requested by Lender to perfect
and continue Lender’s lien on the Real Property. Grantor shall reimburse Lender for all taxes,
as described below, together with all expenses incurred in recording, perfecting or continuing
this Deed of Trust, including without limitation all taxes, fees, documentary stamps, and other
charges for recording or registering this Deed of Trust.




Taxes.
The following shall constitute taxes to which this section applies: (1) a specific tax
upon this type of Deed of Trust or upon all or any part of the Indebtedness secured by this
Deed of Trust; (2) a specific tax on Grantor which Grantor is authorized or required to deduct
from payments on the Indebtedness secured by this type of Deed of Trust; (3) a tax on this type
of Deed of Trust chargeable against the Lender or the holder of the Note; and (4) a specific
tax on all or any portion of the Indebtedness or on payments of principal and interest made by
Grantor.




Subsequent Taxes. If any tax to which this section applies is enacted subsequent to the date
of this Deed of Trust, this event shall have the same effect as an Event of Default, and
Lender may exercise any or all of its available remedies for an Event of Default as provided
below unless Grantor either (1) pays the tax before it becomes delinquent, or (2) contests the
tax as provided above in the Taxes and Liens section and deposits with Lender cash or a
sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Lender.



SECURITY AGREEMENT; FINANCING STATEMENTS. The following provisions relating to this Deed of Trust
as a security agreement are a part of this Deed of Trust:




Security Agreement. This instrument shall constitute a Security Agreement to the extent any of

under the Uniform Commercial Code as amended from time to time.




Security Interest. Upon request by Lender,
 Grantor shall take whatever action is requested by
Lender to perfect and continue Lender’s security interest in the Rents and Personal Property.
In addition to recording this Deed of Trust in the real property records, Lender may, at any
time and without further authorization from Grantor, file executed counterparts, copies or
reproductions of this Deed of Trust as a financing statement. Grantor shall reimburse Lender
for all expenses incurred in perfecting or continuing this security interest. Upon default,
Grantor shall not remove, sever or detach the Personal Property from the Property. Upon
default, Grantor shall assemble any Personal Property not affixed to the Property in a manner
and at a place reasonably convenient to Grantor and Lender and make it available to Lender
within three (3) days after receipt of written demand from Lender to the extent permitted by
applicable law.




Addresses. The mailing addresses of Grantor (debtor) and Lender (secured party) from which
information concerning the security interest granted by this Deed of Trust may be obtained
(each as required by the Uniform Commercial Code) are as stated on the first page of this Deed
of Trust.



FURTHER ASSURANCES; ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. The following provisions relating to further assurances and
attorney-in-fact are a part of this Deed of Trust:




Further Assurances. At any time, and from time to time, upon request of Lender, Grantor will
make, execute and deliver, or will cause to be made, executed or delivered, to Lender or to
Lender’s designee, and when requested by Lender, cause to be filed, recorded, refiled, or
rerecorded, as the case may be, at such times and in such offices and places as Lender may deem
appropriate, any and all such mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds, security agreements,
financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance, certificates,
and other documents as may, in the sole opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable in order
to effectuate, complete, perfect, continue, or preserve (1) Grantor’s obligations under the
Note, this Deed of Trust, and the Related Documents, and (2) the liens and security interests
created by this Deed of Trust as first and prior liens on the Property, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired by Grantor. Unless prohibited by law or Lender agrees to the contrary in
writing, Grantor shall reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the matters referred to in this paragraph.

	 	Page 4







Attorney
-in- Fact. If Grantor fails to do any of the things referred to in the preceding
paragraph, Lender may do so for and in the name of Grantor and at Grantor’s expense. For such
purposes, Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact for the
purpose of making, executing, delivering, filing, recording, and doing all other things as may
be necessary or desirable, in Lender’s sole opinion, to accomplish the matters referred to in
the preceding paragraph.



FULL PERFORMANCE. Upon the full performance of all the obligations under the Note and this Deed of
Trust, Trustee may, upon production of documents and fees as required under applicable law,
release this Deed of Trust, and such release shall constitute a release of the lien for all such
additional sums and expenditures made pursuant to this Deed of Trust. Lender agrees to cooperate
with Grantor in obtaining such release and releasing the other
collateral securing the
Indebtedness. Any release fees required by law shall be paid by Grantor, if permitted by
applicable law.

Default under this Deed of Trust:



Payment Default. Grantor fails to make any payment

to effect discharge of any lien.




Default in Favor of Third Parties. Should Grantor default under any loan, extension of credit,
security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other
creditor or person that may materially affect any of Grantor’s property or Grantor’s ability to
repay the Indebtedness or perform their respective obligations under this Deed of Trust or any
of the Related Documents.




False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by
Grantor or on Grantor’s behalf under this Deed of Trust or the Related Documents is false or
misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes
false or misleading at any time thereafter.




Defective Collateralization. This Deed of Trust or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in
full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and
perfected security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.




Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Grantor’s existence as a going business, the
insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Grantor’s property, any

any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Grantor.




Creditor
or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings,
whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of
Grantor or by any governmental agency against any property securing the Indebtedness. This
includes a garnishment of any of Grantor’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender.
However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Grantor as
to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture
proceeding and if Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding
and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in
an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond
for the dispute.




Breach of Other Agreement. Any breach by Grantor under the terms of any other agreement
between Grantor and Lender that is not remedied within any grace period provided therein,
including without limitation any agreement concerning any indebtedness or other obligation of
Grantor to Lender, whether existing now or later.




Events
Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with
respect to any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party of any of the
Indebtedness or any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party dies or becomes
incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the
Indebtedness.




Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor’s financial condition, or Lender
believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.




Insecurity.
Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.



RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this Deed of Trust, at any
time thereafter, Trustee or Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:




Election
of Remedies. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any
other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation
of Grantor under this Deed of Trust, after Grantor’s failure to
perform, shall not affect
Lender’s right to declare a default and exercise its remedies.




Accelerate Indebtedness. Lender shall have the right at its option without notice to Grantor
to declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable, including any prepayment
penalty which Grantor would be required to pay.




Foreclosure.
Lender shall have the right to cause all or any part of the Real Property, and
Personal Property, if Lender decides to proceed against it as if it were real property, to be
sold by the Trustee according to the laws of the State of Colorado as respects foreclosures
against real property. The Trustee shall give notice in accordance with the laws of
Colorado. The Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the following order: (a)
to all costs and expenses of the sale, including but not limited to Trustee’s fees, attorneys’
fees, and the cost of title evidence; (b) to all sums secured by
this Deed of Trust; and
(c) the excess, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled to the excess.




UCC
Remedies. With respect to all or any part of the Personal Property, Lender shall have
all the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.




Collect
Rents. Lender shall have the right, without notice to Grantor to take possession of
and manage the Property and collect the Rents, including amounts past due and unpaid, and
apply the net proceeds, over and above Lender’s costs, against
the Indebtedness. In furtherance of this right, Lender may require any tenant or other user of the Property to make
payments of rent or use fees directly to Lender. If the Rents are collected by Lender, then
Grantor irrevocably designates Lender as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact to endorse instruments received
in payment thereof in the name of Grantor and to negotiate the same
and collect the proceeds. Payments by tenants or other users to Lender in response to Lender’s
demand shall satisfy the obligations for which the payments are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand existed.
Lender may exercise its rights under this subparagraph either in person, by agent, or through a
receiver.

Appoint Receiver. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take possession
of all or any part of the Property, with the power to protect and preserve the Property, to
operate the Property preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the
Property and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the
Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law. Lender’s right to the
appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Property
exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a
person from serving as a receiver. Receiver may be appointed by a court of competent
jurisdiction upon ex parte application and without notice, notice being expressly waived.




Tenancy at Sufferance. If Grantor remains in possession of the Property after the Property is
sold as provided above or Lender otherwise becomes entitled to possession of the Property upon
default of Grantor, Grantor shall become a tenant at sufferance of Lender or the purchaser of
the Property and shall, at Lender’s option, either (1) pay a reasonable rental for the use of
the Property, or (2) vacate the Property immediately upon the demand of Lender.

any sale of the Property, whether made under a power of sale granted in this Deed of Trust or
pursuant to judicial proceedings, if the holder of the Note is a purchaser at such sale, it
shall be entitled to use and apply all, or any portion of, the Indebtedness for or in
settlement or payment of all, or any portion of, the purchase price of the Property purchased,
and, in such case, this Deed of Trust, the Note, and any documents evidencing expenditures
secured by this Deed of Trust shall be presented to the person
conducting the sale in order
that the amount of Indebtedness so used or applied may be credited thereon as having been
paid.




Attorneys’ Fees; Expenses. If Lender forecloses or institutes any suit or action to enforce any
of the terms of this Deed of Trust, Lender shall be entitled to recover such sum as the court
may adjudge reasonable as attorneys’ fees at trial and upon any appeal. Whether or not any
court action is involved, and to the extent not prohibited by law, all reasonable expenses
Lender incurs that in Lender’s opinion are necessary at any time
for the protection of its
interest or the enforcement of its rights shall become a part of the Indebtedness payable on
demand and shall bear interest at the Note rate from the date of the expenditure until repaid.
Expenses covered by this paragraph include, without limitation, however subject to any limits

attorneys’ fees and expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate

Grantor is deemed to be notice given to all Grantors.

constitute a waiver of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision

dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or of
any of Grantor’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is

not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in

Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Deed of Trust to
be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the
offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If
feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid
and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered
deleted from this Deed of Trust. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity,
or unenforceability of any provision of this Deed of Trust shall not affect the legality,
validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Deed of Trust.
