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.

Any Person, including Borrower or Lender, may purchase at any sale hereunder.  Should Lender desire that more than one sale or other disposition of the Property be conducted, Lender shall, subject to applicable law, cause such sales or dispositions to be conducted simultaneously, or successively, on the same day, or at such different days or times and in such order as Lender may designate, and no such sale shall terminate or otherwise affect the Lien of this Deed of Trust on any part of the Property not sold until all the Obligations have been satisfied in full.  In the event Lender elects to dispose of the Property through more than one sale, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, Borrower agrees to pay the costs and expenses of each such sale and of any judicial proceedings wherein such sale may be made;

16

Section 7.2            Application of Proceeds.  The purchase money proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Property or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Trustee or Lender pursuant to the Note, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Obligations in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, to the extent consistent with applicable law.

Lender (or Trustee, as applicable) is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 7.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand.  All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender and/or Trustee in remedying any Default or Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending or bringing any such action or proceeding, as hereinabove provided, shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period beginning on the first day after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred and continuing until the date of payment to Lender.  All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender and/or Trustee together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and to be secured by this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

 

  

17

  

 

Section 7.4            Actions and Proceedings.

Section 7.5            Recovery of Sums Required to be Paid.  Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for any Default or Event of Default by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.

 

Section 7.6            Examination of Books and Records.  At reasonable times and upon reasonable notice (which may be given verbally), Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys, shall have the right to examine the records, books and management and other papers of Borrower which reflect upon its financial condition, either at the Property or at any office regularly maintained by Borrower where such books and records are located.

(a)           The failure of Lender or Trustee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Deed of Trust.  Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender or Trustee to comply with any request of Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any Person liable for the Obligations or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents.

 

  

18

  

 

(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.  Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce the Other Obligations or any covenant hereof, without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Deed of Trust.  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.  No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.  Lender and Trustee shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

 

Section 7.8            Right to Release Any Portion of the Property.

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.

 

  

29

  

 

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.

 

  

30

  

 

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.
