State Bar Form 21 - Paqe 1 

	INSURANCE.  Mortgagor shall keep the improvements on the Property insured against a loss or damage occasioned by fire, extended coverage perils
and such other hazards as Mortgagee may require, without co-insurance, through insurers approved by Mortgagee, in the amount of the full replacement value of the improvements on the
Property.  Mortgagor shall pay the insurance premiums when due.  The policies shall contain the standard mortgage clause in favor of Mortgagee, and evidence of all policies covering the
Property shall be provided to Mortgagee.  Mortgagor shall promptly give notice of loss to insurance companies and Mortgagee.  Unless Mortgagor and Mortgagee otherwise agree in writing,
insurance proceeds shall be applied to restoration or repair of the Property damaged, provided the Mortgagee deems the restoration or repair to be economically feasible.

	OTHER COVENANTS.  Mortgagor covenants not to commit waste nor suffer waste to be committed on the Property, to keep the Property in good
condition and repair, to keep the Property free from future liens superior to the lien of this Mortgage and to comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations affecting the Property.  Mortgagor
shall pay when due all indebtedness which may be or become secured at any time by a mortgage or other lien on the Property superior to this Mortgage and any failure to do so shall
constitute a default under this Mortgage.

	DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.  Mortgagor agrees that time is of the essence with respect to payment of principal and interest when due, and in the
performance of the terms, conditions and covenants contained herein or in the Obligation secured hereby.  In the event of default, Mortgagee may, at its option, declare the whole amount of
the unpaid principal and accrued interest due and payable, and collect it in a suit at law or by foreclosure of this Mortgage or by the exercise of any other remedy available at law or equity.  If
this Mortgage is subordinate to a superior mortgage lien, a default under the superior mortgage lien constitutes a default under this Mortgage.

	NOTICE.  Unless otherwise provided in the Obligation secured by this Mortgage, prior to any acceleration (other than under paragraph 9, below)
Mortgagee shall mail notice to Mortgagor specifying:  (a) the default; (b) the action required to cure the default; (c) a date, not less than 15 days from the date the notice is mailed to Mortgagor
by which date the default must be cured; and (d) that failure to cure the default on or before the date specified in the notice may result in acceleration.

	EXPENSES AND ATTORNEY FEES.  In case of default, whether abated or not, all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney
fees, to the extent not prohibited by law shall be added to the principal, become due as incurred, and in the event of foreclosure be included in the judgment.

	FORECLOSURE WITHOUT DEFICIENCY.  Mortgagor agrees to the provisions of Sections 846.101 and 846.103, Wis. Stats., as may apply to the
Property and as may be amended, permitting Mortgagee in the event of foreclosure to waive the right to judgment for deficiency and hold the foreclosure sale within the time provided in such
applicable Section.

	RECEIVER.  Upon default or during the pendency of any action to foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagor consents to the appointment of a receiver of the Property, including

State Bar Form 21 - Paqe 2 

homestead interest, to collect the rents, issues and profits of the Property during the pendency of such an action, and such rents, issues and profits when so collected shall
be held and applied as the court shall direct.

	WAIVER.  Mortgagee may waive any default without waiving any other subsequent or prior default by Mortgagor.

	MORTGAGEE MAY CURE DEFAULTS.  In the event of any default by Mortagor of any kind under this Mortgage or any Obligation secured by this
Mortgage, Mortgagee may cure the default and all sums paid by Mortgagee for such purpose shall immediately be repaid by Mortgagor with interest at the rate then in effect under the
Obligation secured by this Mortgagee and shall constitute a lien upon the Property.

	CONSENT REQUIRED FOR TRANSFER.  Mortgagor shall not transfer, sell or convey any legal or equitable interest in the Property (by deed, land
contract, option, long-term lease or in any other way) without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, unless either the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage is first paid in full or the interest
conveyed is a mortgage or other security interest in the Property, subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage.  The entire indebtedness under the Obligation secured by this Mortgage shall
become due and payable in full at the option of Mortgagee without notice, which notice is hereby waived, upon any transfer, sale or conveyance made in violation of this paragraph.  A
violation of the provisions of this paragraph will be considered a default under the terms of this Mortgage and the Obligation it secures.

	ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS.  Mortgagor hereby transfers and assigns absolutely to Mortgagee, as additional security, all rents, issues and profits which
become or remain due (under any form of agreement for use or occupancy of the Property or any portion thereof), or which were previously collected and remain subject to Mortgagor's
control following any default under this Mortgage or the Obligation secured hereby and delivery of notice of exercise of this assignment by Mortgagee to the tenant or other user(s) of the
Property in accordance with the provisions of Section 708.11, Wis. Stats., as may be amended.  This assignment shall be enforceable with or without appointment of a receiver and
regardless of Mortgagee's lack of possession of the Property.

	ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISION.  Mortgagor represents, warrants and covenants to Mortgagee that (a) during the period of Mortgagor's ownership or
use of the Property no substance has been, is or will be present, used, stored, deposited, treated, recycled or disposed of on, under, in or about the Property in a form, quantity or manner

Property.  Borrower shall pay the insurance premiums when due.  The policies shall contain the standard mortgage clause in favor of Beneficiary, and evidence of all policies covering the
Property shall be provided to Beneficiary.  Borrower shall promptly give notice of loss to insurance companies and Beneficiary.  Unless Borrower and Beneficiary otherwise agree in writing,
insurance proceeds shall be applied to restoration or repair of the Property damaged, provided the Beneficiary deems the restoration or repair to be economically feasible. 

Section 1.10   Condemnation. Should the Property or any part thereof be taken or damaged by reason of any public improvement or
condemnation proceeding, or damaged by fire, or earthquake, or in any other manner, Beneficiary shall be entitled to all compensation, awards and other payments or relief therefor
(collectively, "Claims") and shall be entitled at its option to commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceedings, or to make a compromise or settlement,
in connection with such taking or damage. All proceeds of the Claims assigned to Beneficiary under this Section shall be paid to Beneficiary.  In each instance, Beneficiary shall apply
those proceeds first toward reimbursement of all of Beneficiary's costs and expenses of recovering the proceeds, including attorneys' fees.  Borrower further authorizes Beneficiary, at
Beneficiary's option and in Beneficiary's sole discretion, and regardless of whether there is any impairment of the Property, (i) to apply the balance of such proceeds, or any portion of them, to
pay or prepay some or all of the Secured Obligations in such order or proportion as Beneficiary may determine, or (ii) to hold the balance of such proceeds, or any portion of them, in an
interest-bearing account to be used for the cost of reconstruction, repair or alteration of the Property, or (iii) to release the balance of such proceeds, or any portion of them, to Borrower.  If
any proceeds are released to Borrower, neither Beneficiary nor Trustee shall be obligated to see to, approve or supervise the proper application of such proceeds.  If the proceeds are held by
Beneficiary to be used to reimburse Borrower for the costs of restoration and repair of the Property, the Property shall be restored to the equivalent of its original condition, or such other
condition as Beneficiary may approve in writing.  Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary's option, condition disbursement of the proceeds on Beneficiary's approval of such plans and specifications
prepared by an architect satisfactory to Beneficiary, contractor's cost estimates, architect's certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of mechanics and materialmen, and such other
evidence of costs, percentage of completion of construction, application of payments, and satisfaction of liens as Beneficiary may reasonably require. 

Section 1.11   Indemnification; Subrogation; Waiver of Offset. 

	Subject to the indemnification obligations of the Beneficiary contained in the APSA, if Beneficiary is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning this Deed
of Trust or the Trust Estate or any part thereof or interest therein, or the occupancy thereof by Borrower, then Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from all liability
by reason of said litigation, including reasonable attorney fees and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in any such litigation, whether or not any such litigation is prosecuted to judgment. If
Beneficiary commences an action against Borrower to enforce any of the terms hereof or because of the breach by Borrower of any of the terms hereof, or for the recovery of any Secured
Obligations, Borrower shall pay to Beneficiary reasonable attorney fees and expenses, and the right to such attorney fees and expenses shall be deemed to have accrued on the
commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. If Borrower breaches any term of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may employ
an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and in the event of such employment following any breach by Borrower, Borrower shall pay Beneficiary reasonable attorney fees and
expenses incurred by Beneficiary, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Borrower by reason of breach.

	
DEED OF TRUST

	

PAGE 5 OF 17

	Borrower waives any and all right to claim or recovery against Beneficiary, its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to Borrower,
the Trust Estate, Borrower's property or the property of others under Borrower's control from any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of this Deed of
Trust.

	All sums due and payable by Borrower hereunder shall be paid without notice, demand, counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense and without abatement,
suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction, and the obligations and liabilities of Borrower hereunder shall in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected by reason of: (i) any
damage to or destruction of or any condemnation or similar taking of the Trust Estate or any part thereof; (ii) any restriction or prevention of or interference with any use of the Trust Estate or
any part thereof; (iii) any title defect or encumbrance or any eviction from the Property or the Improvements or any part thereof by title paramount or otherwise; or (iv) any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to Beneficiary, or any action taken with respect to this Deed of Trust by any
trustee or receiver of Beneficiary, or by any court, in any such proceeding; whether or not Borrower shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

Section 1.12   Taxes and Imposition. 

	Borrower agrees to pay when due and prior to delinquency all real property taxes and assessments, general and special, and all other taxes and assessments of
any kind or nature whatsoever which are assessed or imposed upon the Trust Estate, or become due and payable, and which create, may create or appear to create a lien upon the Trust
Estate, or any part thereof (all of which taxes, assessments and other governmental charges of like nature are hereinafter referred to as "Impositions"); provided, however, that if,
by law, any such Imposition is payable, or may at the option of the taxpayer be paid, in installments, Borrower must pay the same together with any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of
such Imposition in installments as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the nonpayment of any such installment and
interest.

	If at any time after the date hereof there shall be assessed or imposed (i) a tax or assessment on the Trust Estate in lieu of or in addition to the Impositions
payable by Borrower pursuant to subparagraph (a) hereof, or (ii) a license fee, tax or assessment imposed on Beneficiary and measured by or based in whole or in part upon the amount of
the outstanding Secured Obligations, then all such taxes, assessments or fees shall be deemed to be included within the term "Impositions" as defined in subparagraph (a) hereof,
and Borrower shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided with respect to the payment of Impositions, or at the option of Beneficiary, all Secured Obligations, together with all
accrued interest thereon, shall immediately become due and payable. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Borrower shall have no obligation to pay any franchise, estate,
inheritance, income, excess profits or similar tax levied on Beneficiary or on the Secured Obligations.

	Borrower shall have the right before any delinquency occurs to contest or object to the amount or validity of any such Imposition by appropriate legal proceedings,
but this shall not be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending Borrower's covenant to pay any such Imposition at the time and in the manner provided in this
section, unless Borrower has given prior written notice to Beneficiary of Borrower's intent to so contest or object to any Imposition, and unless at Beneficiary's sole satisfaction that the legal
proceedings shall conclusively operate to prevent the sale of the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, to satisfy such Imposition prior to final determination of such proceedings; or (ii) Borrower
shall furnish a good and sufficient bond or surety as requested by and satisfactory to Beneficiary; or (iii) Borrower shall have provided a good and sufficient undertaking as may be required or
permitted by law to accomplish a stay of such proceedings.

Section 1.13   Utilities. To pay when due all utility charges which are incurred by Borrower for the benefit of the Trust Estate or which may become a charge or lien

appear. 

Section 1.15   Actions by Trustee and/or Beneficiary to Preserve Trust Estate. That should Borrower fail to make any payment or to do any act as and in the manner
provided in any of the Loan Documents, Beneficiary and/or Trustee, each in its own discretion (and in the exercise of good faith), without obligation so to do and without notice to or demand
upon Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation, may make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof.
In connection therewith (without limiting their general powers), Beneficiary and/or Trustee shall have and are hereby given the right, but not the obligation, (i) to enter upon and take
possession of the Trust Estate; (ii) to make necessary additions, alterations, repairs and improvements to the Trust Estate which they or either of them may consider necessary or proper to
keep the Trust Estate in good condition and repair; (iii) to appear and participate in any action or proceeding affecting or which may affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of
Beneficiary or Trustee; (iv) to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, claim, charge, lien or debt which in the judgment of either may affect or appears to affect the security
of this Deed of Trust or be prior or superior hereto; and (v) in exercising such powers, to pay necessary expenses, including employment of counsel or other necessary or desirable
consultants. Borrower shall, immediately upon demand therefor by Beneficiary, pay all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the exercise by Beneficiary of the
foregoing rights, including without limitation costs of evidence of title, court costs, appraisals, surveys and attorney fees.

herein. 

Section 1.19   Inspections. That Beneficiary, or its agents, representatives or workmen, are authorized to enter at any reasonable time upon or in any part of the Trust

Section 1.20   Liens. Borrower agrees to pay and promptly discharge, at Borrower's cost and expense, all liens, encumbrances and charges upon the Trust Estate, or
any part thereof or interest therein. Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith the validity of any such lien, encumbrance or charge, provided Borrower shall first deposit with
Beneficiary a bond or other security satisfactory to Beneficiary in such amounts as Beneficiary shall reasonably require, but not more than one and one-half (i.e. 150%) of the amount of the
claim, provided further, that Borrower shall thereafter diligently proceed to cause such lien,

	
DEED OF TRUST

	

PAGE 7 OF 17

encumbrance or charge to be removed and discharged. If Borrower shall fail to discharge, or post
appropriate bond to protect against, any such lien, encumbrance or charge within thirty (30) days of written demand by Beneficiary, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of
Beneficiary, Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same, either by paying the amount claimed to be due, or by procuring the discharge of such lien by depositing in
court a bond or the amount claimed or otherwise giving security for such claim, or in such manner as is or may be prescribed by law. 

Section 1.21   Trustee's Powers. At any time, or from time to time, without liability therefor and upon written notice to Borrower, upon written request of Beneficiary and

person so liable, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of any of the Secured Obligations, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or

ARTICLE II

ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, ISSUES AND PROFITS

Section 2.01   Assignment of Rents. Borrower hereby assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all the current and future Rents, issues and profits of the Trust Estate, and
hereby gives to and confers upon Beneficiary the right, power and authority to collect such Rents, issues and profits in the event of a default by the Borrower in any of the terms and
conditions hereof or of any of the Loan Documents. Borrower irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, at the option of Beneficiary at any time and from time to time,
in the exercise of good faith, to demand, receive, and enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions, and to sue, in the name of Borrower or Beneficiary, for all such Rents,
issues and profits and apply the same to the Secured Obligations; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to collect such Rents, issues and profits (but not more than two
months in advance) prior to or at any time there is not an event of default under any of the Loan Documents. The assignment of the Rents, issues and profits of the Trust Estate in this
Article II is intended to be an absolute assignment from Borrower to Beneficiary and not merely the passing of a security interest. The Rents, issues and profits are hereby assigned
absolutely by Borrower to Beneficiary contingent only upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby authorizes Trustee and/or Beneficiary to
file and/or record such financing statements, security agreements or other security documents as Trustee and/or Beneficiary may deem necessary or appropriate to perfect its security interest
in the Rents, issues and profits of the Trust Estate. 

Section 2.02   Collection Upon Default. Upon any event of default under any of the Loan Documents, Beneficiary may, upon written notice to Borrower and upon the
expiration of any period provided for the cure of any default, and at any time thereafter, either in person, by agent or by a receiver appointed by a

	
DEED OF TRUST

	

PAGE 8 OF 17

court, and without regard to the adequacy of
any security for the Secured Obligations, enter upon and take possession of the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, in its own name sue for or otherwise collect such Rents, issues and profits,
including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorney fees, upon the Secured Obligations, and in such
order as Beneficiary may determine. The collection of such Rents, issues and profits, or the entering upon and taking possession of the Trust Estate, or the application thereof as aforesaid,
shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such default or pursuant to such notice of default. 

ARTICLE III

SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FILING

Section 3.01   Lien. The parties acknowledge that some of the Trust Estate may be determined under applicable law to be personal property or fixtures. To the extent that
any portion of the Trust Estate may be or be determined to be fixtures or personal property, Borrower as debtor hereby grants Beneficiary as secured party a security interest in all of
Borrower's right, title and interest in all such fixtures or personal property, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired, to secure payment and performance of the obligations secured
hereunder. This Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of Idaho covering all such fixtures and personal property.  

Section 3.02   Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file, on behalf of Borrower and without its signature, one or more financing statements
and such other documents as Beneficiary may from time to time require to perfect or continue the perfection of Beneficiary's security interest in any portion fo the Trust Estate. Borrower shall
pay all fees and costs that Beneficiary may incur in filing such documents in public offices. In case Borrower fails to execute any financing statements or other documents for the perfection or
continuation of any security interest, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact which power of attorney is coupled with an interest to execute any
such documents on its behalf. If any financing statement or other document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall never be construed as in any way
derogating from or impairing this Deed of Trust or the rights or obligations of the parties under it. 

Section 3.03   Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in the
State of Idaho, as amended or recodified from time to time, covering any portion of the Trust Estate which now is or later may become fixtures attached to the Property. The description of the
Trust Estate in this Deed of Trust includes goods which are or are to become fixtures on the Property. For this purpose, the respective addresses of Borrower, as debtor, and Beneficiary, as
secured party, from which information concerning the security interest may be obtained, are as set forth in the preambles of this Deed of Trust. 

ARTICLE IV

REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Section 4.01   Events of Default. Time is of the essence hereof. Any of the following events shall be deemed an event of default hereunder:

to pay its debts generally as they become due; 

	A court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against Borrower seeking any reorganization, dissolution or
similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, and such order, judgment or decree shall
remain unvacated and unstayed for sixty (60) days from the first date of entry thereof; or any trustee, receiver or liquidator or Borrower of all or any part of the Trust Estate, or of any or all of
the royalties, revenues, Rents, issues or profits thereof, shall be appointed without the consent or acquiescence of Borrower and such appointment shall remain unvacated and unstayed for
sixty (60) days; 

	A writ of execution or attachment or any similar process shall be issued or levied against all or any part of or interest in the Trust Estate, or any judgment involving

	There has occurred a breach of or event of default under any term, covenant, agreement, condition, provisions, representation or warranty contained in any of the
Loan Documents or any part thereof, not referred to in this section, and the failure of Borrower to cure the same following thirty (30) days' written notice to Borrower; provided that if no notice
or cure period is provided for the Event of Default in any of the Loan Documents, no notice or cure period shall be required herein.

Section 4.02   Acceleration Upon Default; Additional Remedies. In the event of any event of default, Beneficiary may declare all Secured Obligations to be immediately
due and payable and the same shall thereupon become due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind. Thereafter, Beneficiary may:

	Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without
regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon and take possession of the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, in its own name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts which it deems, in
the exercise of good faith, necessary or desirable to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Trust Estate, or part thereof or interest therein, increase the income therefrom or
protect the security hereof and, with or without taking possession of the Trust Estate, sue for or otherwise collect the Rents, issues and profits thereof, including those past due and unpaid,
and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection including attorney fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, all in such order as Beneficiary may determine. The
entering upon and taking possession of the Trust Estate, the collection of such Rents, issues and profits and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default after
written notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such default or pursuant to such notice of default and, notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Trust
Estate or the collection, receipt and application of Rents, issues or profits, Trustee or Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in any of the Loan Documents or by law
upon occurrence of any event of default, including the right to exercise the power of sale;

	Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage, appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof and in case of any

elect;

	
DEED OF TRUST

	

PAGE 10 OF 17

	Deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale, and a written notice of default and election to cause Borrower's interest in the Trust Estate
to be sold, which notice Trustee or Beneficiary shall cause to be duly filed for record in the official records of the county in which the Trust Estate is located.

	The waiver by Beneficiary of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default.

Section 4.03   Foreclosure by Power of Sale. Should Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein contained, Beneficiary shall notify Trustee
and shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust and the Note and such receipts and evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as Trustee may require.

	Upon receipt of such notice from Beneficiary, Trustee shall cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Borrower such notice of default and election to sell as
then required by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Borrower, after lapse of such time as may then be required by law and after recordation of such notice of
default and after notice of sale having been given as required by law, sell the Trust Estate at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate lots or
parcels or items as Trustee shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, but subject to any statutory right of Borrower to direct the order in which such property, if consisting
of several known lots or parcels, shall be sold, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to such
purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of
any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including without limitation, Borrower, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale and Borrower
hereby covenants to warrant and defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers.

	After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Trust, including costs of evidence of title in connection with sale, Trustee shall apply the
proceeds of sale to payment of: all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the rate provided in the Note; all other obligations then secured hereby
and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto in accordance with law.

postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement or subsequently noticed sale, and without further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the
last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale.

Section 4.04   Foreclosure as Mortgage. Should Beneficiary elect to foreclose this Deed of Trust in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of mortgages on real
property, Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover in such proceeding all costs and expenses incident thereto (including costs on appeal), including a reasonable attorney fee (including an
attorney fee on appeal) in such amount as shall be fixed by the court. Beneficiary shall be entitled to possession of the Trust Estate during any redemption period allowed under the laws of
the State of Idaho. 

Section 4.05   Appointment of Receiver. If an event of default shall have occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary, as a matter of right and without notice to Borrower or
anyone claiming under Borrower, and without regard to the then value of the Trust Estate or the interest of Borrower therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to
appoint a receiver or receivers of the Trust Estate, and Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or
receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as

	
DEED OF TRUST

	

PAGE 11 OF 17

provided in Section 4.02(a) and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the
date of confirmation of sale of the Trust Estate unless such receivership is sooner terminated. 

Section 4.06   Remedies Not Exclusive. Trustee and Beneficiary, and each of them, shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any Secured Obligations
and to exercise all rights and powers under this Deed of Trust or under any Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the said
Secured Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, guaranty, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Deed of
Trust nor its enforcement, whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Trustee's or Beneficiary's right to
realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Trustee or Beneficiary, it being agreed that Trustee and Beneficiary, and each of them, shall be entitled to enforce this
Deed of Trust and any other security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary or Trustee in such order and manner as they or either of them may in their absolute discretion determine. No
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Trustee or
Beneficiary or to which either of them may be otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Trustee or
Beneficiary and either of them may pursue inconsistent remedies. The failure on the part of Beneficiary to promptly enforce any right hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of such
right. 

Section 4.07   Request for Notice. Borrower hereby requests a copy of any notice of default and that any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to it at the address set forth
in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust, in addition to written notifications required by other provisions hereof. 

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 5.01   Governing Law. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by the laws of the State of Idaho. In the event that any provision or clause of any of the Loan
Documents conflicts with applicable laws, such conflicts shall not affect other provisions of such Loan Documents which can be given effect without the conflicting provision, and to this end
the provisions of the Loan Documents are declared to be severable. The terms and provisions of the Deed of Trust cannot be waived, changed, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an
instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, discharge or termination is sought. 

Section 5.02   Limitation of Interest. It is the intent of Borrower and Beneficiary in the execution of this Deed of Trust the Note and all other Loan Documents to contract
in strict compliance with the laws of the State of Idaho governing the Secured Obligations. In furtherance thereof, Beneficiary and Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and
provisions contained in the Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the
maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by the laws of the State of Idaho governing the loan evidenced by the Note. Borrower or any guarantor, endorser, or other party now or
hereafter becoming liable for the payment of the Note shall never be liable for unearned interest on the Note and shall never be required to pay interest on the Note at a rate in excess of the
maximum interest that may be lawfully charged under the laws of the State of Idaho and the provisions of this section shall control over all other provisions of the Note and any other Loan
Documents executed in connection herewith which may be in apparent conflict herewith. In any event, if any holder of the Note shall collect monies which are deemed to constitute interest
which would otherwise increase the effective interest rate on the Note to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by the laws of the State of Idaho, all such sums deemed to constitute
interest in excess of the legal rate shall be immediately returned to the Borrower upon such determination.

Section 5.04   Reconveyance by Trustee. Upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all Secured Obligations have been paid and upon surrender of this Deed of
Trust and the Note to Trustee for cancellation and retention and upon payment by Borrower of Trustee's fees, Trustee shall reconvey to Borrower, or the person or persons legally entitled
thereto, without warranty, any portion of the Trust Estate then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.
The grantee in any reconveyance may be described as "the person or persons legally entitled thereto." 

Section 5.05   Notices. Whenever Beneficiary, Borrower or Trustee shall desire or be required to give or serve any notice, demand, request or other communication with
