Trustor hereby relieves the lessees and tenants from any liability to Trustor by reason of the payment of the Rents to Beneficiary. Nevertheless, Trustor shall be entitled to collect the Rents until Beneficiary notifies the lessees and tenants in writing to pay the Rents to Beneficiary at any time after and during the pendency of an Event of Default. Beneficiary is hereby authorized to give such notification upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter while such Event of Default is continuing.

Second, to the payment of ground rents (if any) payable with respect to the Trust Property;
Third, to the payment of any amounts due and owing under the Obligation;
Fourth, to the payment of current operating costs and expenses (including repairs, maintenance and necessary acquisitions of property and expenditures for capital improvements) arising in connection with the Trust Property;
Fifth, to Trustor or its designee.
All Rents collected by Beneficiary may be applied to the items above listed in any manner that Beneficiary deems advisable and without regard to the aforestated priorities.
3.4 Trustor represents and warrants that: (i) the existing Leases are in full force and effect and have not been modified or amended; (ii) the Rents have not been waived, discounted, compromised, setoff or paid more than one month in advance, except for rent paid by any governmental agency tenant which pays rent one year in advance; (iii) there are no other assignments, transfers, pledges or encumbrances of any Leases or Rents; and (iv) neither Trustor nor the lessees and tenants are in default under the existing Leases.
3.5 Trustor shall (i) fulfill or perform each and every term, covenant and provision of the Leases to be fulfilled or performed by the lessor thereunder; (ii) give prompt notice to Beneficiary of any notice received by Trustor of default thereunder or of any alleged default or failure of performance that could become a default thereunder, together with a complete copy of any such notice; and (iii) enforce, short of termination thereof, the performance or observance of each and every term, covenant and provision of each Lease to be performed or observed by the lessees and tenants thereunder.
3.6 Trustor, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, shall not: (i) cancel, modify, or alter, or accept the surrender of, any Lease, except in the ordinary course of business; (ii) assign, transfer, pledge or encumber, the whole or any part of the Leases and Rents to anyone other than Beneficiary; (iii) accept any Rents more than one month in advance of the accrual thereof; (iv) do or permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or omit or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, could be a breach or default under the terms of any Lease or a basis for termination thereof; or (v) enter into any new tenant leases except upon commercially reasonable rent and terms.
3.7 Beneficiary does not assume and shall not be liable for any obligation of the lessor under any of the Leases and all such obligations shall continue to rest upon Trustor as though this assignment had not been made. Beneficiary shall not be liable for the failure or inability to collect any Rents.
3.8 Neither the Assignment of Rents and Leases contained herein or in any separate assignment nor the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights or remedies thereunder or in connection therewith, prior to Beneficiary obtaining actual possession of the Trust Property as provided in Paragraph 8.2 hereof, shall constitute Beneficiary a “mortgage in possession” or otherwise make Beneficiary responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Trust Property or the occupancy, operation or use thereof. In the event Beneficiary obtains actual possession of the Trust Property as provided in Paragraph 8.2 hereof, Beneficiary shall have the rights, and Beneficiary’s liability shall be limited, as provided in that Paragraph.

The personal property described or referred to in this Paragraph 4.1 is hereinafter called the “Personal Property.” The security interests granted in this Paragraph 4.1 are hereinafter severally and collectively called the “Security Interest.”
4.2 The Security Interest shall be self-operative with respect to the Personal Property, but Trustor shall execute and deliver on demand such additional security agreements, financing statements and other instruments as may be requested in order to impose the Security Interest more specifically upon the Personal Property. The Security Interest, at all times, shall be prior to any other interests in the Personal Property except any lien or security interest granted in connection with any Permitted Exception.

Trustor shall keep the Personal Property free of all security interests or other encumbrances, except the Security Interest and any security interests and encumbrances granted in connection with any Permitted Exception. Although proceeds of Personal Property are covered hereby, this shall not be construed to mean that Beneficiary consents to any sale of the Personal Property.
4.4 Trustor shall keep and maintain the Personal Property in good condition and repair, and shall promptly replace any part thereof that from time to time may become obsolete, badly worn or in a state of disrepair. All such replacements shall be free of any other security interest or encumbrance, except any security interest or encumbrance granted in connection with any Permitted Exception.

4.6 Trustor hereby warrants, covenants and agrees that: (i) the Personal Property is or will be used primarily for business (other than farm) purposes; (ii) the Personal Property will be kept at the Premises; and (iii) Trustor’s records concerning the Personal Property will be kept at Trustor’s address as set forth in the beginning of this Deed of Trust.

4.9 Upon its recording in the real property records, this Deed of Trust shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing. In addition, a carbon, photographic or other reproduced copy of this Deed of Trust and/or any financing statement relating hereto shall be sufficient for filing and/or recording as a financial statement. The filing of any other financing statement relating to any personal property, rights or interests described herein shall not be construed to diminish any right or priority hereunder.
SECTION 5. PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION OF BENEFICIARY’S INTEREST
5.1 Trustor, by the payment of any such tax or taxes, shall protect Beneficiary against any and all loss from any taxation of indebtedness or deeds of trust, direct or indirect, that may be imposed upon this Deed of Trust, the lien of this Deed of Trust on the Trust Property, or upon the Obligation, by any law, rule, regulation or levy of the federal government, any state government, or any political subdivision thereof. In the event the burden of such taxation cannot lawfully be shifted from Beneficiary to Trustor, Beneficiary may declare the entire Obligation due and payable sixty (60) days after notice to Trustor.
5.2 If Trustor shall fail to pay any taxes, assessments, expenses or charges, to keep all of the Trust Property free from liens and claims of liens, to maintain and repair the Trust Property, or to procure and maintain insurance thereon, or otherwise fail to perform as required herein, Beneficiary may advance the monies necessary to pay the same, to accomplish such maintenance and repairs, to procure and maintain such insurance or to so perform; Beneficiary is hereby authorized to enter upon the Trust Property for such purposes.
5.3 Upon written request by Beneficiary, Trustor shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding that may affect the lien or the priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust or the rights of Beneficiary hereunder and shall pay all costs, expenses (including the cost of searching title) and attorneys’ fees incurred in such action or proceeding. Beneficiary may appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the lien or the priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust or the rights of Beneficiary. Beneficiary may pay, purchase, contest or compromise any adverse claim, encumbrance, charge or lien that in the judgment of Beneficiary appears to be prior or superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust, other than any Permitted Exceptions.
5.4 Without obtaining the prior written consent of Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion, Trustor shall not sell, transfer, convey, assign or otherwise dispose of, or further encumber, all or any part of the Trust Property or any interest therein, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise. If Trustor is a partnership, any change of a general partner owning in excess of 50% of the capital interest in the partnership shall be deemed to be a transfer of the Trust Property. Upon the occurrence of any such transaction with Beneficiary’s consent, or without Beneficiary’s consent if Beneficiary elects not to exercise its rights and remedies for an Event of Default, Beneficiary (i) may increase the interest rate on all or any part of the Obligation to its then current market rate for similar indebtedness; (ii) may charge a loan fee and a processing fee in connection with the change; and (iii) shall not be obligated to release Trustor from any liability hereunder or for the Obligation except to the extent required by law. Consent to any such transaction shall not be deemed to be consent or a waiver of the requirement of consent to any other such transaction.
5.5 Without obtaining the prior written consent of Beneficiary, Trustor shall not consent to, or vote in favor of, the inclusion of all or any part of the Trust Property in any Community Facilities District formed pursuant to the Community Facilities District Act, A.R.S. Section 48-701, et seq., as from time to time. Trustor shall immediately give notice to Beneficiary of any notification or advice that Trustor may receive from any municipality or other third party of any intent or proposal to include all or any part of the Trust Property in a Community Facilities District. Beneficiary shall have the right to file a written objection to the inclusion of all or any part of the Trust Property in a Community Facilities District, either in its own name or in the name of Trustor, and to appear at, and participate in, any hearing with respect to the formation of any such district.
5.6 All rights, powers and remedies granted Beneficiary herein, or otherwise available to Beneficiary, are for the sole benefit and protection of Beneficiary, and Beneficiary may exercise any such right, power or remedy at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion without any obligation to do so. In addition, if, under the terms hereof, Beneficiary is given two or more alternative courses of action, Beneficiary may elect any alternative or combination of alternatives, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion. All monies advanced by Beneficiary under the terms hereof and all amounts paid, suffered or incurred by Beneficiary in exercising any authority granted herein, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be added to the Obligation, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust, shall bear interest at the highest rate payable on any of the Obligation until paid, and shall be due and payable by Trustor to Beneficiary immediately without demand.
5.7 Trustor, upon request of Beneficiary, shall promptly correct any defect, error or omission that may be discovered in the content of this Deed of Trust or in the execution or acknowledgment hereof. In addition, Trustor shall do such further acts as may be necessary or that Beneficiary may reasonably request to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Deed of Trust, to subject any property intended to be encumbered hereby to the lien and security interest hereof, and to perfect and maintain the lien and security interest hereof.

The execution, delivery and performance by Trustor of this Deed of Trust and all other documents and instruments relating to the Obligation will not result in any breach of the terms or conditions or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument under which Trustor is a party or is obligated. Trustor is not in default in the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or provisions of any such agreement or instrument.
6.2 The liens, security interests and assignments created hereby will be valid, effective, properly perfected and enforceable liens, security interests and assignments.
6.3 All financial statements, profit and loss statements, statements as to ownership and other statements or reports previously or hereafter given to Beneficiary by or on behalf of Trustor are and shall be true, complete and correct as of the date thereof.

SECTION 7. DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
7.1 The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall constitute an “Event of Default” (after expiration of applicable cure periods, if any) under this Deed of Trust:
(a) The occurrence of any Event of Default, as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement or the Amendment.
(b) The abandonment by Trustor of all or any part of the Trust Property.
(c) The existence of any encroachment upon the Trust Property that has occurred without the approval of Beneficiary that is not removed or corrected within thirty (30) days after its creation.
(d) The demolition or destruction of, or any substantial damage to, any portion of the Trust Property that is not adequately covered by insurance, or the loss, theft or destruction of, or any substantial damage to, any portion of the Personal Property or any other collateral or security for the Obligation, that is not adequately covered by insurance.
7.2 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (after expiration of applicable cure periods, if any), and at any time while such Event of Default is continuing, Beneficiary may do one or more of the following:
(a) Give such notice of default and of election to cause the Trust 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 Trust Property at the time and place specified in the notice of sale, as a whole or in separate parcels as directed by Beneficiary, or by Trustor to the extent required by law, 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 Trust 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 Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at the sale.
(b) Exercise any or all of the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Personal Property. If Beneficiary should proceed to dispose of any of the Personal Property in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, five (5) days’ notice by Beneficiary to Trustor shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice under any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code requiring notice. Trustor, however, agrees that all property of every nature and description, whether real or personal, covered by this Deed of Trust, together with all personal property used on or in connection with the Premises or any business conducted thereon by the Trustor and covered by separate security agreements, is encumbered as one unit, that this Deed of Trust and such security interests, at Beneficiary’s option, may be foreclosed or sold in the same proceeding, and that all property encumbered (both realty and personalty), at Beneficiary’s option, may be sold as such in one unit as a going business, subject to the provisions of applicable law.
(c) Without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligation or the solvency of Trustor or any other person or entity, send notifications to any and all lessees and tenants under the Leases that all Rents shall be paid to Beneficiary. Thereafter, Beneficiary shall be entitled to collect the Rents until Trustor cures all Events of Default and may apply the Rents collected at its sole discretion to the maintenance of the Trust Property and/or the payment of the Obligation.
(d) Apply any funds in the possession or control of Beneficiary under the provisions of Paragraph 5.6 hereof to the payment of the Obligation, in lieu of the purposes specified in that paragraph.
(e) Apply for and obtain, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligation or the solvency of the Trustor or any other person or entity, a receiver by any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of all the Trust Property, to manage, operate and carry on any business then being conducted or that could be conducted on the Premises, to carry on, protect, preserve, replace and repair the Trust Property, and receive and collect all Rents and to apply the same to pay the receiver’s expenses for the operation of the Trust Property and then in the manner provided in Paragraph 3.3 herein. Upon appointment of said receiver, Trustor shall immediately deliver possession of all of the Trust Property to such receiver. Neither the appointment of a receiver for the Trust Property by any court at the request of Beneficiary or by agreement with Trustor nor the entering into possession of all or any part of the Trust Property by such receiver shall constitute Beneficiary a “mortgagee in possession” or otherwise make Beneficiary responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Trust Property or the occupancy, operation or use thereof. Trustor agrees that Beneficiary shall have the absolute and unconditional right to the appointment of receiver in any independent and/or separate action brought by Beneficiary regardless of whether Beneficiary seeks any relief in such action other than the appointment of a receiver.
