	(c)
	If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, in addition to all remedies provided by this Instrument or existing under applicable law.

	(d)
	This Instrument also constitutes a financing statement with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property that is or may become a Fixture, if permitted by applicable law.




		
	3.
	Assignment of Rents; Appointment of Receiver; Lender in Possession.




		
	(a)
	As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all Rents.




		
	(i)
	It is the intention of Borrower to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Lender of all Rents and to authorize and empower Lender to collect and receive all Rents without the necessity of further action on the part of Borrower.




		
	(ii)
	Promptly upon request by Lender, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver such further assignments as Lender may from time to time require. Borrower and Lender intend this assignment of Rents to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only.




		
	(iii)
	For purposes of giving effect to this absolute assignment of Rents, and for no other purpose, Rents will not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property. However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of Rents is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then the Rents will be included as a part of the Mortgaged Property and it is the intention of Borrower that in this circumstance this Instrument create and perfect a Lien on Rents in favor of Lender, which Lien will be effective as of the date of this Instrument.




		
	(b)
	(i)    Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender hereby grants to Borrower a revocable license to collect and receive all Rents, to hold all Rents in trust for the benefit of Lender and to apply all Rents to pay the installments of interest and principal then due and payable under the Note and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including Imposition Reserve Deposits, and to pay the current costs and expenses of managing, operating and maintaining the Mortgaged Property, including utilities, Taxes and insurance premiums (to the extent not included in Imposition Reserve Deposits), tenant improvements and other capital expenditures.




		
	(ii)
	So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Rents remaining after application pursuant to the preceding sentence may be retained by Borrower free and clear of, and released from, Lender’s rights with respect to Rents under this Instrument.





	
			
	Colorado
	 
	Page 7

	Multifamily Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents
	 

	and Security Agreement
	 
	 












		
	(iii)
	After the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Lender to collect, sue for and compromise Rents and directs each tenant of the Mortgaged Property to pay all Rents to, or as directed by, Lender. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, or by a receiver, Borrower’s license to collect Rents will automatically terminate and Lender will without Notice be entitled to all Rents as they become due and payable, including Rents then due and unpaid. Borrower will pay to Lender upon demand all Rents to which Lender is entitled.




		
	(iv)
	At any time on or after the date of Lender’s demand for Rents, Lender may give, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to give, notice to all tenants of the Mortgaged Property instructing them to pay all Rents to Lender. No tenant will be obligated to inquire further as to the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default. No tenant will be obligated to pay to Borrower any amounts which are actually paid to Lender in response to such a notice. Any such notice by Lender will be delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit. Borrower will not interfere with and will cooperate with Lender’s collection of such Rents.




		
	(c)
	If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then Lender will have each of the following rights and may take any of the following actions:




		
	(i)
	Lender may, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security or the solvency of Borrower and even in the absence of waste, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Mortgaged Property in order to perform all acts that Lender in its discretion determines to be necessary or desirable for the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, including the execution, cancellation or modification of Leases, the collection of all Rents, the making of Repairs to the Mortgaged Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management, operation or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, for the purposes of enforcing the assignment of Rents pursuant to Section 3(a), protecting the Mortgaged Property or the security of this Instrument, or for such other purposes as Lender in its discretion may deem necessary or desirable.




		
	(ii)
	Alternatively, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security, without regard to Borrower’s solvency and without the necessity of giving prior notice (oral or written) to Borrower, Lender may apply to any court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property to take any or all of the actions set forth in the preceding sentence. If Lender elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, by its execution of this Instrument, expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver, including the appointment of a receiver ex parte if permitted by applicable law.

	(iii)
	If Borrower is a housing cooperative corporation or association, Borrower hereby agrees that if a receiver is appointed, the order appointing the receiver may contain a provision requiring the receiver to pay the installments of interest and principal then due and payable under the Note and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including Imposition Reserve Deposits, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Indebtedness is an obligation of Borrower and must be paid out of maintenance charges payable by Borrower’s tenant shareholders under their proprietary leases or occupancy agreements.




		
	(iv)
	Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for managing the Mortgaged Property.




		
	(v)
	Immediately upon appointment of a receiver or immediately upon Lender’s entering upon and taking possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, Borrower will surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and will deliver to Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, all documents, records (including records on electronic or magnetic media), accounts, surveys, plans, and specifications relating to the Mortgaged Property and all security deposits and prepaid Rents.




		
	(vi)
	If Lender takes possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, then Lender may exclude Borrower and its representatives from the Mortgaged Property.




Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender of any of the rights conferred under this Section 3 will not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Land and Improvements.


		
	(d)
	If Lender enters the Mortgaged Property, Lender will be liable to account only to Borrower and only for those Rents actually received. Except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender will not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or through Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Mortgaged Property, by reason of any act or omission of Lender under Section 3(c), and Borrower hereby releases and discharges Lender from any such liability to the fullest extent permitted by law.




		
	(e)
	If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes will become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 7.




		
	(f)
	Any entering upon and taking of control of the Mortgaged Property by Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and any application of Rents as provided in this Instrument will not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided for in this Instrument.

	4.

	(a)
	As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases, including Borrower’s right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease.




		
	(i)
	It is the intention of Borrower to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Lender of all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases. Borrower and Lender intend this assignment of the Leases to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only.




		
	(ii)
	For purposes of giving effect to this absolute assignment of the Leases, and for no other purpose, the Leases will not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property.




		
	(iii)
	However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of the Leases is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then the Leases will be included as a part of the Mortgaged Property and it is the intention of Borrower that in this circumstance this Instrument create and perfect a Lien on the Leases in favor of Lender, which Lien will be effective as of the date of this Instrument.




		
	(b)
	Until Lender gives Notice to Borrower of Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 4, Borrower will have all rights, power and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease (except as otherwise limited by this Section or any other provision of this Instrument), including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any Lease or extend or terminate any Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such Event of Default, the permission given to Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence to exercise all rights, power and authority under Leases will automatically terminate. Borrower will comply with and observe Borrower’s obligations under all Leases, including Borrower’s obligations pertaining to the maintenance and disposition of tenant security deposits.




		
	(c)
	(i)    Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender, either directly or by a receiver, of any of the rights conferred under this Section 4 will not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Land and the Improvements.




		
	(ii)
	The acceptance by Lender of the assignment of the Leases pursuant to Section 4(a) will not at any time or in any event obligate Lender to take any action under this Instrument or to expend any money or to incur any expenses.




		
	(iii)
	Except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender will not be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any Person or Persons in or about the Mortgaged Property.

	(iv)
	Prior to Lender’s actual entry into and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, Lender will not be obligated for any of the following:




		
	(A) 
	Lender will not be obligated to perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any Lease (or otherwise have any obligation with respect to any Lease).




		
	(B) 
	Lender will not be obligated to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Lease or the Mortgaged Property.




		
	(C) 
	Lender will not be responsible for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. The execution of this Instrument by Borrower will constitute conclusive evidence that all responsibility for the operation, control, care, management and repair of the Mortgaged Property is and will be that of Borrower, prior to such actual entry and taking of possession.




		
	(d)
	Upon delivery of Notice by Lender to Borrower of Lender’s exercise of Lender’s rights under this Section 4 at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, by a receiver, or by any other manner or proceeding permitted by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, Lender immediately will have all rights, powers and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease, including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease.




		
	(e)
	Borrower will, promptly upon Lender’s request, deliver to Lender an executed copy of each residential Lease then in effect.




		
	(f)
	If Borrower is a cooperative housing corporation or association, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Instrument, so long as Borrower remains a cooperative housing corporation or association and is not in breach of any covenant of this Instrument, Lender consents to the following:




		
	(i)
	Borrower may execute leases of apartments for a term in excess of 2 years to a tenant shareholder of Borrower, so long as such leases, including proprietary leases, are and will remain subordinate to the Lien of this Instrument.




		
	(ii)
	Borrower may surrender or terminate such leases of apartments where the surrendered or terminated lease is immediately replaced or where Borrower makes its best efforts to secure such immediate replacement by a newly-executed lease of the same apartment to a tenant shareholder of Borrower. However, no consent is given by Lender to any execution, surrender, termination or assignment of a lease under terms that would waive or reduce the obligation of the resulting tenant shareholder under such lease to pay cooperative assessments in full when due or the obligation of the former tenant shareholder to pay any unpaid portion of such assessments.

	6.
	Application of Payments. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, then Lender may apply that payment to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender’s discretion. Neither Lender’s acceptance of an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender’s application of such payment in the manner authorized will constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction. Notwithstanding the application of any such amount to the Indebtedness, Borrower’s obligations under this Instrument, the Note and all other Loan Documents will remain unchanged.

	Protection of Lender’s Security; Instrument Secures Future Advances.




		
	(a)
	If Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations under this Instrument or any other Loan Document, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which purports to affect the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s security or Lender’s rights under this Instrument, including eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, civil or criminal forfeiture, enforcement of Hazardous Materials Laws, fraudulent conveyance or reorganizations or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then Lender at Lender’s option may make such appearances, file such documents, disburse such sums and take such actions as Lender reasonably deems necessary to perform such obligations of Borrower and to protect Lender’s interest, including all of the following:




		
	(i)
	Lender may pay Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.




		
	(ii)
	Lender may pay fees and out-of-pocket expenses of accountants, inspectors and consultants.




		
	(iii)
	Lender may enter upon the Mortgaged Property to make Repairs or secure the Mortgaged Property.




		
	(iv)
	Lender may procure the Insurance required by the Loan Agreement.




		
	(v)
	Lender may pay any amounts which Borrower has failed to pay under the Loan Agreement.




		
	(vi)
	Lender may perform any of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement.




		
	(vii)
	Lender may make advances to pay, satisfy or discharge any obligation of Borrower for the payment of money that is secured by a Prior Lien.




		
	(b)
	Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Section 7, or under any other provision of this Instrument that treats such disbursement as being made under this Section 7, will be secured by this Instrument, will be added to, and become part of, the principal component of the Indebtedness, will be immediately due and payable and will bear interest from the date of disbursement until paid at the Default Rate.

	(c)
	Nothing in this Section 7 will require Lender to incur any expense or take any action.




		
	8.
	Events of Default. An Event of Default under the Loan Agreement will constitute an Event of Default under this Instrument.




		
	9.
	Remedies Cumulative. Each right and remedy provided in this Instrument is distinct from all other rights or remedies under this Instrument, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or afforded by applicable law or equity, and each will be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively, in any order. Lender’s exercise of any particular right or remedy will not in any way prevent Lender from exercising any other right or remedy available to Lender. Lender may exercise any such remedies from time to time and as often as Lender chooses.




		
	10.
	Waiver of Statute of Limitations, Offsets, and Counterclaims. Borrower waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the Lien of this Instrument or to any action brought to enforce any Loan Document. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations under this Instrument will be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments that Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.




		
	11.
	Waiver of Marshalling.




		
	(a)
	Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the Mortgaged Property held by Lender or by any other party, Lender will have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged Property will be subjected to the remedies provided in this Instrument, the Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law. Lender will have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of such remedies.




		
	(b)
	Borrower and any party who now or in the future acquires a security interest in the Mortgaged Property and who has actual or constructive notice of this Instrument waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets or to require that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in the inverse order of alienation or that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in parcels or as an entirety in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided in this Instrument.




		
	12.
	Further Assurances; Lender’s Expenses. 




		
	(a)
	Borrower will deliver, at its sole cost and expense, all further acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, estoppel certificates, financing statements or amendments, transfers and assurances as Lender may require from time to time in order to better assure, grant and convey to Lender the rights intended to be granted, now or in the future, to Lender under this Instrument and the Loan Documents or in connection with Lender’s consent rights under Article VII of the Loan Agreement.

	(b)
	Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with each request by Borrower under this Instrument or any Loan Document, Borrower will pay all reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including any fees payable in accordance with any request for further assurances or an estoppel certificate pursuant to the Loan Agreement, regardless of whether the matter is approved, denied or withdrawn. Any amounts payable by Borrower under this Instrument or under any other Loan Document will be deemed a part of the Indebtedness, will be secured by this Instrument and will bear interest at the Default Rate if not fully paid within 10 days of written demand for payment.




		
	13.
	Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. This Instrument, and any Loan Document which does not itself expressly identify the law that is to apply to it, will be governed by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction. Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to the Note, this Instrument or any other Loan Document may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction. The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction will have jurisdiction over all controversies that may arise under or in relation to the Note, any security for the Indebtedness or any other Loan Document. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. However, nothing in this Section 13 is intended to limit Lender’s right to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters under this Instrument in any court of any other jurisdiction.




		
	14.
	Notice. All Notices, demands and other communications under or concerning this Instrument will be governed by the terms set forth in the Loan Agreement.




		
	15.
	Successors and Assigns Bound. This Instrument will bind the respective successors and assigns of Borrower and Lender, and the rights granted by this Instrument will inure to Lender’s successors and assigns.




		
	16.
	Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person signs this Instrument as Borrower, the obligations of such Persons will be joint and several.




		
	17.
	Relationship of Parties; No Third Party Beneficiary.




		
	(a)
	The relationship between Lender and Borrower will be solely that of creditor and debtor, respectively, and nothing contained in this Instrument will create any other relationship between Lender and Borrower. Nothing contained in this Instrument will constitute Lender as a joint venturer, partner or agent of Borrower, or render Lender liable for any debts, obligations, acts, omissions, representations or contracts of Borrower.




		
	(b)
	No creditor of any party to this Instrument and no other Person will be a third party beneficiary of this Instrument or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, (i) any arrangement (“Servicing Arrangement”) between Lender and any Loan Servicer for loss sharing or interim advancement of funds will constitute a contractual obligation of such Loan Servicer that is independent of the obligation of Borrower for the payment of the Indebtedness, (ii) Borrower will not be a third party beneficiary of any Servicing Arrangement, and (iii) no payment by the Loan Servicer under any Servicing Arrangement will reduce the amount of the Indebtedness.

	18.
	Severability; Amendments.




		
	(a)
	The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Instrument will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, and all other provisions will remain in full force and effect. This Instrument contains the entire agreement among the parties as to the rights granted and the obligations assumed in this Instrument.




		
	(b)
	This Instrument may not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer prohibited by or requiring Lender’s approval under Article VII of the Loan Agreement, some or all of the modifications to the Loan Documents (if any) may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option by Notice to Borrower and the transferee(s).




		
	19.
	Construction. 




		
	(a)
	The captions and headings of the Sections of this Instrument are for convenience only and will be disregarded in construing this Instrument. Any reference in this Instrument to a “Section” will, unless otherwise explicitly provided, be construed as referring to a Section of this Instrument.




		
	(b)
	Any reference in this Instrument to a statute or regulation will be construed as referring to that statute or regulation as amended from time to time.




		
	(c)
	Use of the singular in this Instrument includes the plural and use of the plural includes the singular.




		
	(d)
	As used in this Instrument, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to” and the term “includes” means “includes without limitation.”




		
	(e)
	The use of one gender includes the other gender, as the context may require.




		
	(f)
	Unless the context requires otherwise any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document in this Instrument will be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth in this Instrument).




		
	(g)
	Any reference in this Instrument to any person will be construed to include such person’s successors and assigns.




		
	20.
	Subrogation. If, and to the extent that, the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Note, or subsequent advances under Section 7, are used to pay, satisfy or discharge a Prior Lien, such loan proceeds or advances will be deemed to have been advanced by Lender at Borrower’s request, and Lender will automatically, and without further action on its part, be subrogated to the rights, including Lien priority, of the owner or holder of the obligation secured by the Prior Lien, whether or not the Prior Lien is released.

21-30.     Reserved. 


		
	31.
	Acceleration; Remedies. 




		
	(a)
	At any time during the existence of an Event of Default, Lender, at Lender’s option, may declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without further demand, and may invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by Colorado law or provided in this Instrument, the Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Document. Lender will be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, Attorneys’ Fees and costs and costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports.




		
	(b)
	If Lender invokes the power of sale, Trustee will give notice of sale in the manner required by Colorado law to Borrower and to all other persons who are entitled to receive such notice under Colorado law, and will sell the Mortgaged Property according to Colorado law. Trustee may sell the Mortgaged Property at the time and place and under the terms designated in the notice of sale in one or more parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine. Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement at the time and place of any previously scheduled sale. Lender or Lender’s designee may purchase the Mortgaged Property at any sale. Trustee will deliver to the purchaser at the sale Trustee’s certificate describing the Mortgaged Property and the time when the purchaser will be entitled to Trustee’s deed to the Mortgaged Property. The recitals in Trustee’s deed will be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made in those recitals.




		
	(c)
	Trustee will apply the proceeds of the sale as prescribed by applicable law. If, upon foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Instrument, the purchaser at the foreclosure sale has bid an amount less than the full Indebtedness owed by Borrower and secured by this Instrument, then the full amount bid and the full amount of the deficiency will bear interest at the Default Rate. Thereafter, the deficiency, together with such interest, will be a continuing obligation of Borrower for which Lender will be entitled to personal monetary judgment, to the extent permitted under the Note and under Colorado law.




		
	32.
	Release. Upon payment of the Indebtedness, Lender will request Trustee to release this Instrument and will deliver to Trustee the canceled Note. Trustee will release this Instrument without further inquiry or liability. Borrower will pay all costs of recordation, if any, of the release and will pay the statutory Trustee’s fee.




		
	33.
	Waiver of Homestead. Borrower waives all right of homestead exemption in the Mortgaged Property.




		
	34.

	(b)
	BORROWER AND LENDER EACH WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF
