HYPOTHECATES and CONVEYS the Mortgaged Property to Trustee, IN TRUST, WITH POWER OF SALE, subject, however, to the Permitted Liens. The latest scheduled maturity date of the secured debt is October 28, 2011. 
  
 3. WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS. Grantor warrants, represents and
covenants to Trustee and Beneficiary as follows: 
  
 3.1 Title to Mortgaged
Property and Lien of this Instrument. Grantor owns the Mortgaged Property free and clear of any liens, claims or interests, except the Permitted Liens. This Deed of Trust creates a valid, enforceable first priority lien and security interest
against the Mortgaged Property subject only to the Permitted Liens. 
  
 3.2
First Lien Status. Grantor shall preserve and protect the first lien and security interest status of this Deed of Trust and the other Note Lien Security Documents. If any lien or security interest other than a Permitted Lien is asserted
against the Mortgaged Property, Grantor shall promptly, and at its expense, (a) give Beneficiary a detailed written notice of such lien or security interest (including origin, amount and other terms), and (b) pay the underlying claim in
full or take such other action so as to cause it to be released or contest the same in compliance with the requirements of the Indenture (including the requirement of providing a bond or other security satisfactory to Beneficiary to the extent
required by the Indenture). 
  
 3.3 Payment and Performance. Grantor shall
pay and perform the Note Lien Obligations when due under the Note Lien Security Documents to which it is a party and shall perform the Covenants under the Note Lien Security Documents to which it is a party in full when they are required to be
performed. 
  
 3.4 Replacement of Fixtures and Personalty. Except as
permitted by the Indenture, Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, not to be unreasonably withheld, permit any of the Fixtures or Personalty to be removed at any time from the Land or Improvements, unless the removed
item is removed temporarily for maintenance and repair or, if removed permanently, is immaterial or is obsolete and in either case, is replaced by an article of equal or better suitability and value, owned by Grantor subject to the liens and
security interests 

  

 3 








 
of this Deed of Trust and the other Note Lien Security Documents, and free and clear of any other lien or security interest except such as may be first
approved in writing by Beneficiary. 
  
 3.5 Maintenance of Rights of Way,
Easements and Licenses. Grantor shall maintain, in the ordinary course of business, all rights of way, easements, grants, privileges, licenses, certificates, permits, entitlements and franchises necessary for the use of the Mortgaged Property
and will not, without the prior consent of Beneficiary, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to any public restriction (including any zoning ordinance) or private restriction as to the use of the Mortgaged Property which restriction
is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the current use of the Mortgaged Property. Grantor shall comply in all material respects with all restrictive covenants affecting the Mortgaged Property, and all zoning ordinances and other
public or private restrictions as to the use of the Mortgaged Property. 
  
 3.6
Inspection. Grantor shall permit Beneficiary and its agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior notice to Grantor and during normal business hours (except in the case of an emergency, in which case no notice shall be
necessary), to inspect the Mortgaged Property and conduct such environmental, to the extent Beneficiary believes that there is a reasonable possibility that a release of materials of environmental concern in violation of environmental laws may have
occurred or is occurring, engineering and other studies as Beneficiary may reasonably require, provided that such inspections and studies shall not materially interfere with the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property. Beneficiary shall
indemnify Grantor for all losses relating to its or its agent’s gross negligence and willful misconduct in connection with such inspection and studies. 
  
 3.7 Other Covenants. All of the covenants in the Indenture are incorporated herein by reference. 
  
 3.8 Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds. 
  
 3.8.1 Condemnation Awards. Grantor assigns all awards and compensation for any condemnation or other taking, or any purchase
in lieu thereof, to Beneficiary and authorizes Beneficiary to collect and receive such awards and compensation and to give proper receipts and acquaintances therefor, to be released by Beneficiary or applied to the Note Lien Obligations in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 
  
 3.8.2 Insurance
Proceeds. Grantor assigns to Beneficiary all proceeds of any insurance policies insuring against loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property (including flood insurance). Grantor authorizes and directs the issuer of each of such insurance policies to
make payment for all such losses to Beneficiary, to be released by Beneficiary or applied toward the Note Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of Indenture. 
  
 4. DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE 
  
 4.1 Remedies. During the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s election and by or through Trustee or otherwise,
exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses: 
  

 4 








 4.1.1 Acceleration. To the extent permitted by the Indenture, declare the Note Lien Obligations to be
immediately due and payable, without further notice, presentment, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand or action of any nature whatsoever (each of which hereby is expressly waived by Grantor), whereupon the same
shall become immediately due and payable. 
  
 4.1.2 Entry on
Mortgaged Property. Enter the Mortgaged Property and take exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto. If Grantor remains in possession of the Mortgaged Property after an Event of Default and without
Beneficiary’s prior written consent, Beneficiary may invoke any legal remedies to dispossess Grantor. 
  
 4.1.3 Operation of Mortgaged Property. Hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as
Beneficiary may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable), and apply all Rents and other amounts
collected by Trustee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7 hereof. 
  
 4.1.4 Remedies of Beneficiary upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at its option, without prior notice to Grantor,
declare the Note Lien Obligations to be immediately due and payable in full; and, on application of Beneficiary, Trustee shall foreclose this Deed of Trust in any manner permitted by North Carolina law, including selling the Mortgaged Property or
any part thereof at public sale to the last and highest bidder for cash, free of any equity of redemption, homestead, dower, curtesy or other state or federal exemption, all of which are expressly waived by Grantor, after compliance with applicable
North Carolina laws relating to foreclosure sales under power of sale; and Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser a Trustee’s deed conveying the Mortgaged Property so sold without any covenant or warranty, expressed or implied. The
recitals in the Trustee’s deed shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made therein. The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied in the manner and in the order prescribed by applicable North Carolina law, it being agreed
that the expenses of any such sale shall include a commission of five per cent of the gross sales price to Trustee for holding such sale and for all services performed by him hereunder excluding expenses incurred in making sale. In the event a
foreclosure suit or special proceeding is commenced, and no sale is held, then the Grantor shall pay to the Trustee: (a) all expenses incurred by Trustee and (b) a partial commission computed on five percent of the balance of the unpaid
Note Lien Obligations. Beneficiary may bid and become the purchaser at any sale under this Deed of Trust. At any such sale Trustee may at his election require the successful bidder immediately to deposit with Trustee cash in an amount equal to all
or any part of the successful bid and notice of any such requirement need not be included in the advertisement of the notice of such sale. If foreclosure proceedings are instituted under this Deed of Trust, Trustee is hereby authorized to take
possession of the Mortgaged Property and collect any rental accrued or to accrue; or Trustee may lease the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, receive the rents and profits therefrom, and hold the proceeds remaining after payment of the expenses
of managing and operating the Mortgaged Property subject to the order of the court for the benefit of Beneficiary, pending final disposition on the foreclosure proceedings, and during any period allowed by applicable law for the redemption from any
foreclosure sale ordered in 

  

 5 








 
such proceedings; and Trustee may act irrespective of the value of the Mortgaged Property or its adequacy or inadequacy to secure or discharge the
indebtedness then owing. 
  
 4.1.5 Receiver. Make application to a
court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Note Lien Obligations, the appointment of a
receiver of the Mortgaged Property, and Grantor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate
the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7 hereof. 
  
 4.1.6 Other. Exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Note Lien Security Documents or otherwise
available at law or in equity (including an action for specific performance of any covenant contained in the Note Lien Security Documents, or a judgment on the Notes either before, during or after any proceeding to enforce this Deed of Trust).

  
 4.2 Separate Sales. The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more
parcels and in such manner and order as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may elect in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales
described in the foregoing sentence. 
  
 4.3 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent
and Nonexclusive. Trustee and Beneficiary shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Note Lien Security Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent,
(b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Note and the other Note Lien Security Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole
discretion of Beneficiary, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and
(d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Trustee or Beneficiary in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Note Lien Security Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any
Event of Default. 
  
 4.4 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Beneficiary
may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing,
affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interests created in or evidenced by the Note Lien Security Documents or their stature as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the remaining Mortgaged Property. For payment
of the Note Lien Obligations, Beneficiary may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect. 
  
 4.5 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and
releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial 

  

 6 








 
decision exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution,
exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment, (b) all notices of Trustee’s election to exercise or its actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Note Lien Security Documents, and
(c) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation. Grantor waives any right or remedy which Grantor may have or be able to assert pursuant to any provision of North Carolina law, including, without limitation,
the rights or remedies set forth in N.C. Gen. Stat. §26-7, et. seq., pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties. 
  
 4.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Beneficiary shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Note Lien Security Documents and
shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Beneficiary shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Grantor, Trustee and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Note
Lien Obligations, the Note Lien Security Documents, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Trustee and Beneficiary 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 that may then exist or the right of Trustee and Beneficiary thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Note Lien Security Documents for such Event of Default.

  
 4.7 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents
and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied by Beneficiary or Trustee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in the following order unless otherwise required by
the Indenture or applicable law: 
  
 4.7.1 to the payment of the
out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Beneficiary in taking possession of the Mortgaged Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the same, including, without limitation: (1) trustee’s and
receiver’s reasonable fees and expenses, (2) court costs, (3) reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses, (4) costs of advertisement, and (5) the payment of all ground rent, real estate
taxes and assessments, except any taxes, assessments or other charges subject to which the Mortgaged Property shall have been sold; 
  
 4.7.2 to the payment of all amounts (including interest), other than the payment of the Note Lien Obligations, which may be due to Beneficiary under the
Note Lien Security Documents; 
  
 4.7.3 to the payment of the Note
Lien Obligations and performance of the Covenants under the Note Lien Security Documents in such manner and order of preference as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and 
  
 4.7.4 the balance, if any, to the payment of the persons legally entitled
thereto. 
  
 4.8 Occupancy After Foreclosure. The purchaser at any
foreclosure sale pursuant to Section 4.1.4 shall become the legal owner of the Mortgaged Property. All occupants of the Mortgaged Property shall, at the option of such purchaser, become tenants of the purchaser at the foreclosure sale
and shall deliver possession thereof immediately to the purchaser upon demand. It shall not 

  

 7 








 
be necessary for the purchaser at said sale to bring any action for possession of the Mortgaged Property other than the statutory action of forcible detainer
in any justice court having jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property. 
  
 4.9
Protective Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement. 
  
 4.9.1 If any Event of Default exists, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Grantor. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Beneficiary under
this Section, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any of the other Note Lien Security Documents or applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement,
computed at the interest rate applicable to overdue reimbursement obligations under the Indenture, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. 
  
 4.9.2 Grantor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket
attorneys’ fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Deed of Trust and the other Note Lien Security Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Note Lien Obligations or any claim under this
Deed of Trust and the other Note Lien Security Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. 
  
 4.10 No Beneficiary in Possession. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies
under this Article, the assignment of the Rents and Leases under Article 5, the security interests under Article 6, nor any other remedies afforded to Trustee or Beneficiary under the Note Lien Security Documents, at law or in equity
shall cause Trustee or Beneficiary to be deemed or construed to be a Beneficiary in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Trustee or Beneficiary to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any
expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise. 
  
 5. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES 
  
 5.1 Assignment. Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary a present, absolute assignment of the Leases and Rents. While any Event of Default exists, Beneficiary shall
be entitled to (a) notify any person that the Leases have been assigned to Beneficiary and that all Rents are to be paid directly to Beneficiary, whether or not Trustee or Beneficiary has commenced or completed foreclosure or taken possession

Beneficiary shall have no responsibility on account of this Deed of Trust for the control, care, maintenance or repair of the Mortgaged Property, for any waste committed on the Mortgaged Property, for any dangerous or defective condition of the

 6. SECURITY AGREEMENT 
  
 6.1 Security Interest. This Deed of Trust constitutes a “Security Agreement” on personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law
and with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Plans, Leases, Rents and Property Agreements. To this end, Grantor grants to Trustee and Beneficiary a first and prior security interest in the Personalty, Fixtures, Plans, Leases, Rents and Property
Agreements and all other Mortgaged Property, to the extent the Mortgaged Property may be subject to UCC, that is personal property to secure the payment of the Note Lien Obligations and performance of the Covenants under the Note Lien Security
Documents, and agrees that Trustee and Beneficiary shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such property. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with respect to the
Personalty, Fixtures, Plans, Leases, Rents and Property Agreement sent to Grantor at least ten (10) days prior to any action under the UCC shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Grantor. 
  
 6.2 Financing Statements. Grantor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form
and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, such UCC financing statements and such further forms as Beneficiary may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Beneficiary’s lien priority and security
interest hereunder and Beneficiary 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. 
  
 6.3 Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust shall constitute a fixture filing in accordance
with N.C. Gen. Stat. § 25-9-502, to be recorded in the real estate records of the appropriate county in which the land is located. For purposes of complying with the requirement of N.C. Gen. Stat. § 25-9-502, the name of Grantor, as
“debtor”, and Beneficiary, as “secured party”, and the respective addresses of Grantor, as “debtor”, and Beneficiary, as “secured party”, are set forth on

the first page of this Deed of Trust; the types or items of “collateral” are described in the definition of “Mortgaged Property”
appearing in the granting clauses of this Deed of Trust; and the description of the “land” is set forth on Exhibit “A” attached hereto. 
  
 7. CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 
  
 7.1 Certain Rights. With the approval of Beneficiary, Trustee shall have the right to select, employ and consult with counsel. 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 him hereunder, believed by him in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual, reasonable expenses
incurred by him in the performance of his duties, including those arising from the joint, concurrent or comparative negligence of Trustee; however, Grantor shall not be liable under such indemnification to the extent such liability or expenses
result solely from Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder. Grantor shall, from time to time, pay the compensation due to Trustee hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and indemnify, defend and save Trustee harmless against,
all liability and reasonable expenses which may be incurred by him in the performance of his duties other than liabilities or expenses arising or accruing as a result of Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Grantor’s
obligations under this Section shall not be reduced or impaired by principles of comparative or contributory negligence. 
  
 7.2 Retention of Money. All moneys 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 moneys (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by him hereunder. 
  
 7.3 Successor or Trustee. If Trustee or any successor Trustee shall die, resign or
become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or Beneficiary shall desire to appoint a substitute Trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint one or more substitute Trustees and, if preferred, several substitute Trustees
in succession who shall succeed to all the estates, rights, powers and duties of Trustee. Such appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary, and as so executed, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed
with authority, valid and sufficient, without further proof of any action. 
  
 7.4
Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance or instrument of any nature be required from Grantor by any successor Trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to such successor Trustee such estates, rights, powers and
duties, then, upon request by such Trustee, all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Grantor. 
  
 7.5 Trustee Liability. In no event or circumstance shall Trustee or any substitute
Trustee hereunder be personally liable under or as a result of this Deed of Trust, either as a result of any action by Trustee (or any substitute Trustee) in the exercise of the powers hereby granted or otherwise, except due to Trustee’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

construed as, covenants running with the Mortgaged Property. As used herein, “Grantor” shall refer to the party named in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust and to any subsequent owner of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property
(without in any way implying that Beneficiary has or will consent to any such conveyance or transfer of the Mortgaged Property). All persons or entities who may have or acquire an interest in the Mortgaged Property shall be deemed to have notice of,
and be bound by, the terms of the Indenture and the other Note Lien Security Documents; however, no such party shall be entitled to any rights thereunder without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.

successors and assigns, as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, (a) to execute and/or record any notices of completion, cessation of labor or any other notices that Beneficiary deems appropriate to protect
Beneficiary’s interest, if Grantor shall fail to do so within ten (10) days after written request by Beneficiary, (b) upon the issuance of a deed pursuant to the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the delivery of a deed in lieu of

desirable for such purpose, (c) to prepare, execute and file or record financing statements, continuation statements and applications for registration necessary to create, perfect or preserve Beneficiary’s security interests and rights in
or to any of the collateral, and (d) while any Event of Default exists, to perform any obligation of Grantor hereunder; however: (1) Beneficiary shall not under any circumstances be obligated to perform any obligation of Grantor;
(2) any out-of-pocket sums advanced by Beneficiary in such performance shall be added to and included in the Note Lien Obligations and shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable to overdue reimbursement obligations under the Indenture;
(3) Beneficiary as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as are actually received by Beneficiary; and (4) Beneficiary shall not be liable to Grantor or any other person or entity for any failure to take any action
that it is empowered to take under this Section. 
  
 8.4 Successors and
Assigns. This Deed of Trust shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Beneficiary and Grantor and their respective successors and assigns. Except to the extent expressly permitted by the Indenture, Grantor shall not, without the prior
written consent of Beneficiary, assign any rights, duties or obligations hereunder. 
  
 8.5 No Waiver. Any failure by Beneficiary to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Note Lien Security Documents shall not be deemed to be a 

  

 12 








 
waiver of same, and Beneficiary shall have the right at any time to insist upon strict performance of all of such terms, provisions and conditions.

  
 8.6 Subrogation. To the extent proceeds of the Loan have been used to
extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness against the Mortgaged Property, then Beneficiary shall be subrogated to all of the rights, liens and interests existing against the Mortgaged Property and held by the holder of such indebtedness and such
former rights, liens and interests, if any, are not waived, but are continued in full force and effect in favor of Beneficiary. 
  
 8.7 Indenture. If any conflict or inconsistency exists between this Deed of Trust and the Indenture, the Indenture shall govern. 
  
 8.8 Release. Beneficiary, at Grantor’s expense, shall release the liens and
security interests created by this Deed of Trust or, at Grantor’s request (but at no cost to Beneficiary), assign this Deed of Trust to a Beneficiary designated by Grantor in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.

  
 8.9 Waiver of Stay, Moratorium and Similar Rights. Grantor agrees, to
the full extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any way take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension, redemption or moratorium law now or hereafter in force
and effect so as to prevent or hinder the enforcement of the provisions of this Deed of Trust or the indebtedness secured hereby, or any agreement between Grantor and Beneficiary or any rights or remedies of Beneficiary. 
  
 8.10 Obligations of Grantor, Joint and Several. If more than one person or entity has
executed this Deed of Trust as “Grantor,” the obligations of all such persons or entities hereunder shall be joint and several. 
  
 8.11 Governing Law. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by the laws of the State in which the Land is located. 
  
 8.12 Headings. The Article, Section and Subsection titles hereof are inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of such Articles, Sections or Subsections. 
  
 8.13 Entire Agreement. This Deed of Trust and the other Note Lien Security Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Beneficiary and Grantor
and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Note Lien Security Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent
