contest any such amounts and defer the payment thereof as and to the extent provided in the Note Purchase Agreement.

(b) Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing Beneficiary, at its option, may engage Ticor Tax Service (or other realty tax payment monitoring service Beneficiary shall select) to monitor, for the balance of the term of the Notes, the payments made by Grantor on the real estate taxes due on the Property. Grantor shall reimburse Beneficiary on demand, the charges for such service. If not so paid, such charges shall be deemed an advancement by the Beneficiary as provided for in section 1.9(d) and shall bear interest accordingly.

(c) Grantor may, at its expense and after prior notice to Beneficiary, contest by appropriate legal, administrative, or other proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount, validity, or application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition or lien therefor or any claim of any laborer, materialmen, supplier or vendor or lien therefor, and may withhold payment of the same pending completion of such proceedings if permitted by law, provided that: (i) such proceedings shall suspend collection from the Property; (ii) neither the Property nor any part thereof nor interest therein will be sold, forfeited, or lost if Grantor pays the amount or satisfies the condition being contested, and Grantor would have the opportunity to do so in the event of Grantor’s failure to prevail in the contest; (iii) Beneficiary shall, by virtue of such permitted contest, not be exposed to any risk of any criminal liability or any civil liability for which Grantor has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (iv) following; and (iv) Grantor shall have furnished to Beneficiary additional security in respect of the claim being contested or the loss or damage which may result from Grantor’s failure to prevail in such contest in such form and amount as may be reasonably requested by Beneficiary.

(d) Upon Grantor’s failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Deed of Trust, including without limitation payment of taxes, charges, assessments, insurance premiums, maintenance and repair of the Property and costs incurred for the protection of the Property and Beneficiary’s priority, Beneficiary, without prejudice to any rights given herein and after ten (10) days’ notice to Grantor, may make advances to perform or cure same in behalf of Grantor; and Grantor hereby agrees to repay all sums so advanced, on written demand, with interest from the date advanced at the Default Rate, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement. All sums so advanced, with interest as aforesaid, until paid by Grantor, shall be immediately due and payable and be added to and become a part of any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby in such manner or order as Beneficiary may desire or determine, having the benefit of the lien hereby created as a part thereof and of its priority; but no such advances shall be deemed to relieve Grantor from any default hereunder or impair any right or remedy consequent thereto. The exercise of the rights to make advances granted in this paragraph shall be optional with Beneficiary and not obligatory; and Beneficiary shall not, in any case, be liable to Grantor for failure to exercise any such right.

1.10 Partnership Status, Continuous Operations, etc. Grantor covenants that:

(a) It is a validly existing limited partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware, duly qualified to do business in the State of Washington and any other place where such qualification is necessary.

(b) It has the necessary power and authority to enter into the Note Purchase Agreement.

(c) The making and performance by Grantor of this Deed of Trust, the Financing Documents, and all other Obligations have been duly authorized by partnership action and will not violate any provision of law or of its partnership agreement, result in the breach of or constitute a default under any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which Grantor is a party or by which Grantor or the Property may be bound or affected.

1.11 Limitations of Use. Grantor shall not initiate, join in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning ordinance, or other public or private restrictions limiting or defining the uses that may be made of the Property, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, other than granting road easements incident to normal forest management and logging operations. Provided, that the preceding sentence to the contrary notwithstanding, Grantor may, without violating the terms of this Deed of Trust accomplish any or all of the actions proscribed by the preceding sentence if the taking of such action or actions (whether taken at one or more than one time) does not have the result of eliminating the Grantor’s ability, based on the reasonable projections using the market conditions then prevailing, to fully service the debt secured hereby, according to its terms, from the harvesting of timber from the Property.

1.12 Local Improvement District. Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, create or initiate, vote for, or in any other manner xxxxxx, join in or consent to the creation of, or the inclusion of the Property or any part thereof within the boundaries of any irrigation, levee, drainage or other improvement district (except school or road), under which any such district has or will have the power to issue bonds or other evidence of indebtedness and/or the power to make assessments against the Property or any part thereof.

1.13 Insurance.

No casualty insurance coverage on the Property or any part thereof shall be required to be provided by Grantor.

1.14 Mineral Extraction.

That neither Grantor nor any successor in interest to Grantor in the Property shall drill or extract or enter into any lease for the drilling or extraction of oil, gas, or other hydrocarbon substances on the Property without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Drilling for

extraction of other minerals of any kind or character from the Property or from any part thereof will not require such prior written or other consent from the Beneficiary; provided, however, that this Section 1.14 shall not prohibit the exercise of rights, existing as of the date hereof and disclosed on the title reports provided to Beneficiary, of parties other than Grantor, to develop, bore, or mine for any water, gas, oil, or mineral on or under the surface of the Property; and provided further, that in the exercise of any rights permitted to it hereunder with or without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, Grantor, or its contractors and assigns, shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to preserve or realize the value of any timber that shall be impacted by such activities.

ARTICLE 2
Condemnation

2.1 Condemnation.

(a) Should the Property or any part thereof or interest therein be taken or damaged by reason of any public improvement, eminent domain, or condemnation proceeding, or in any other manner (a “Condemnation”), or should Grantor receive any notice or other information regarding such a proceeding, Grantor shall give immediate written notice thereof to Beneficiary, except if the reasonably projected value of the interest involved in the Condemnation shall not exceed $25,000.

(b) Beneficiary shall be entitled to 100% of all compensation, awards and other payments that exceed $25,000 in the aggregate for a single condemnation proceeding (“Condemnation Proceeds”) or relief therefor, and shall be entitled, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute any Condemnation proceeding in its own or Grantor’s name and make any compromise or settlement in connection with such Condemnation; provided that the aforesaid right to prosecute in the Grantor’s name and to enter into any compromise or settlement in connection therewith shall be available to Beneficiary only during such time as the Grantor is in default under this Deed of Trust.

(c) Beneficiary shall apply the condemnation proceeds to the reduction of the Obligations in such order as Beneficiary may determine.

ARTICLE 3
Assignments of Rents, Issues and Profits

3.1 Grantor hereby assigns and transfers to Beneficiary the rents, revenues, issues, profits, income, and benefits derived from the Property (collectively, the “Rents”), and hereby gives to and confers upon Beneficiary the right, power, and authority to collect the same. Grantor irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney–in–fact, with power of substitution, at the option of Beneficiary at any time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to demand, receive and enforce payment of, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions for, and, in the name of Grantor or otherwise, to sue for the Rents and apply the same to the Obligations; provided, however, that

Grantor shall have the right to collect the Rents except during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default and after receipt of notice from Beneficiary to cease such collection. The foregoing is intended to constitute an absolute assignment by Grantor for the benefit of Beneficiary, subject only to the terms of this Deed of Trust.

ARTICLE 4
Security Agreement

4.1 Security Agreement. To secure the Obligations, Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary a security interest in all personal property included in the Trust Estate, and the products and proceeds thereof, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, including but not limited to any and all timber that is severed from the Property covered by this Deed of Trust; provided, that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing any lien in favor of Beneficiary on severed timber shall automatically expire at such time as the timber in question is removed from the Property or, should the timber in question have been removed from the Property during the continuance of an Event of Default and such Event of Default is later cured, any lien in favor of Beneficiary on such removed timber shall automatically expire at the time of such cure. This Trust Deed shall constitute a security agreement under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Washington. The mailing address of Grantor and the address of Beneficiary from which information may be obtained are set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Deed of Trust.

4.2 Fixtures. It is understood and agreed that, in order to protect Beneficiary from the effect of RCW 62A.9-313, as amended from time-to-time, in the event that (i) Grantor intends to purchase any goods which may become fixtures attached to the Property, or any part thereof, and (ii) such goods will be subject to a purchase money security interest held by a seller or any other party:

(A) Grantor shall, before executing any security agreement or other document evidencing such security interest, obtain the prior written approval of Beneficiary, and all requests for such written approval shall be in writing and contain the following information:

(1) a description of the fixtures to be replaced, added to, installed or substituted,

(2) the address at which the fixtures will be replaced, added to, installed or substituted and

(3) the name and address of the proposed holder and proposed amount of the security interest,

and any failure of Grantor to obtain such approval shall be a material breach of Grantor’s covenant under this Deed of Trust, and shall, at the option of Beneficiary, entitle Beneficiary to all rights and remedies provided for herein upon default provided, that Beneficiary shall be

deemed to have approved such agreement if it fails to object to such agreement within thirty (30) days of its actual receipt of Grantor’s written request for such approval. No consent by Beneficiary pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed to constitute an agreement to subordinate the right of Beneficiary in fixtures or other property covered by this Deed of Trust.

(B) If at any time Grantor fails to make any payment on an obligation secured by a purchase money security interest in any fixtures, Beneficiary, at its option, may at any time pay the amount secured by such security interest and the amount so paid shall be (1) secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be a lien on the Property having the same priorities as the liens and security interests created by this Deed of Trust, and (2) payable on demand with interest at the rate specified in the Note from the time of such payment. If Grantor shall fail to make such payment to Beneficiary within ten (10) days after demand, the entire principal sum secured hereby with all unpaid interest accrued thereon shall, at the option of Beneficiary, become due and payable immediately.

(C) Beneficiary shall have the right to acquire by assignment from the holder of such security interest any and all contract rights, accounts receivable, negotiable or nonnegotiable instruments, or other evidence of Grantor’s indebtedness for such Personal Property or fixtures, and, upon acquiring such interest by assignment, shall have the right to enforce the security interest as assignee thereof, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Washington Uniform Commercial Code then in effect, and in accordance with any other provisions of law.

(D) Whether or not Beneficiary has paid the indebtedness secured by or taken an assignment of such security interest, Grantor convenants to pay all sums and perform all obligations secured thereby, and if Grantor at any time shall be in default for a period of ten (10) days or after the expiration of all applicable cure periods, whichever is longer, under such security agreement, it shall be a material breach of Grantor’s covenants under this Deed of Trust, and Beneficiary may, at its option, declare the principal sum secured hereby immediately due and payable, time being of the essence.

4.3 Fixture Filing. To the extent that any of the Property constitutes a fixture, this Deed of Trust shall serve as a fixture filing pursuant to the Washington Uniform Commercial Code.

ARTICLE 5
Events of Default; Remedies

5.1 Events of Default. Each “Event of Default” under the Note Purchase Agreement shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Deed of Trust.

5.2 Remedies in Case of Default. If an Event of Default shall occur, Beneficiary may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies, in addition to any other remedies which may be available by law, in equity, or otherwise:

(a) Acceleration.

(i) Automatic. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in subsections 6.1(h) or (i) of the Note Purchase Agreement, the principal of and the interest of the 1992 Note and the 2001 Notes at the time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, the 2001 Deed of Trust, the Note Purchase Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, shall thereupon immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, anything in this Deed of Trust, the Note Purchase Agreement or any of the Financing Documents, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, to the contrary notwithstanding.

(ii) Optional. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in every such event, Beneficiary may, at its option, declare the principal of and interest on the 1992 Note and the 2001 Notes at this time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, the 2001 Deed of Trust, the Note Purchase Agreement or any of the Financing Documents, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, anything in this Deed of Trust, the Note Purchase Agreement or the Financing Documents, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, to the contrary notwithstanding.

(b) Remedies Under Note Purchase Agreement. Beneficiary may elect to exercise one or more of the remedies which are set forth in Section 6.3 and 6.4 of the Note Purchase Agreement.

(c) Receiver. Beneficiary may have a receiver appointed for all or any part of the Property. Beneficiary shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver as a matter of right whether or not the apparent value of the Property exceeds the amount of the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust. Grantor consents to the appointment of a receiver at Beneficiary’s option and waives any and all defenses thereto.

(d) Possession. Beneficiary may, either through a receiver or as lender–in–possession, enter and take possession of all or any part of the Property and use, operate, manage and control it as the Beneficiary shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion. Upon request after an Event of Default, Grantor shall peacefully relinquish possession and control of Property to Beneficiary or any receiver appointed under this Deed of Trust.

(e) Rents and Profits. Beneficiary may revoke Grantor’s right to collect the Rents and any profits from the harvest and sale of timber, in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with best management practices, and may either itself or through a receiver, collect the same. Beneficiary may harvest and sell timber from the Property and collect any profits or rents therefrom. Beneficiary shall not be deemed to be in possession of the Property solely by reason of exercise of the rights contained in this subsection (d). If

Rents are collected by Beneficiary under this subsection (d), Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as Xxxxxxx’s attorney–in–fact, with power of substitution, to endorse instruments received in payment thereof in the name of Grantor and to negotiate such instruments and collect the proceeds thereof. After payment of all obligations, any remaining amounts shall be paid to Grantor and this power shall terminate.

(f) Power of Sale. Beneficiary may direct the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be empowered, to exercise the power of sale granted herein in the manner provided by Washington law.

(g) Foreclosure. Beneficiary may judicially foreclose this Deed of Trust and obtain a judgment foreclosing Grantor’s interest in all or any part of the Property and giving Beneficiary the right to collect any deficiency remaining due after disposition of the Property.

(h) Fixtures and Personal Property. With respect to any fixtures or personal property subject to a security interest in favor of Beneficiary, Beneficiary may exercise any and all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Washington Uniform Commercial Code. To the extent any notice is required under applicable law and is not waived by Grantor, Grantor agrees that as it relates to this paragraph only if such notice is marked, postage prepaid, to the Grantor at the above address at least five (5) days before the time of the sale or disposition, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and shall fully satisfy any requirement for giving of said notice.

(i) Abandon Security. Beneficiary may abandon any security afforded by this Deed of Trust or any other collateral by notifying Grantor of Beneficiary’s election to do so.

5.3 Sale. In any sale pursuant to any judgment, the Property, to the extent permitted by law, may be sold as an entirety or in one or more parcels and in such order as Beneficiary may elect, without regard to the right of Grantor, any person claiming under Grantor, or any guarantor or surety to the marshalling of assets. The purchaser at any such sale shall take title to the Property or the part thereof so sold free and clear of the estate of Grantor (other than statutory redemption rights, if any), the purchaser being hereby discharged from all liability to see to the application of the purchase money. Any person, including Beneficiary, may purchase at any such sale.

5.4 Cumulative Remedies – No Duty to Xxxxxxxx Assets. All remedies under this Deed of Trust are cumulative and not exclusive. Any election to pursue one remedy shall not preclude any other remedy. No delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy, or any agreement to an extension of time, shall impair that or any other right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any default. No release of any part of the Property or any person liable hereunder shall impair any other right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any default.

5.5 Receiver or Beneficiary–in–Possession. Upon taking possession of all or any part of the Property, Beneficiary or a receiver may:

(a) Management. Use, operate, manage, control, and conduct business with the Property and make expenditures for such purposes and for maintenance and improvements as are reasonably necessary.

(b) Rents and Revenues. Collect all rents, revenues, income, issues, and profits from the Property, and may harvest and sell timber therefrom in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with best management practices, and apply such sums to the reasonable expenses of use, operation, management, maintenance, and improvements.

(c) Construction. At its option, complete any construction in progress on the Property, and in that connection pay bills, borrow funds, employ contractors, and make any changes in plans and specifications as it deems appropriate.

(d) Additional Indebtedness. If the revenues produced by the Property are insufficient to pay expenses, Beneficiary or the receiver may borrow or advance such sums upon such terms as it deems reasonably necessary for the purposes stated in this section. All advances shall bear interest, unless otherwise provided, at the Default Rate, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, and repayment of such sums shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.

5.6 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds realized from the exercise of the rights and remedies under this Article V shall be applied as follows:

(a) Costs and Expenses. To pay all costs of exercising such rights and remedies, including the costs of maintaining and preserving the Property, the costs and expenses of any receiver or lender–in–possession, the costs of any sale, and the costs and expenses provided for in Section 6.8 below.

(b) Indebtedness. To pay all the Obligations, in such order as Beneficiary shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion.

(c) Surplus. The surplus, if any, remaining after satisfaction of all the Obligations shall be paid to the clerk of the court.

5.7 Deficiency. No sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Property pursuant to this Article V shall be deemed to relieve Grantor of any of the Obligations, except to the extent the proceeds thereof are applied to the payment of such Obligations. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Property are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the obligations, Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

5.8 Waiver of Stay, Extension, Moratorium and Valuation Laws. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby waives the benefit of any existing or future stay, extension or moratorium law which may affect observance or performance of the provisions of this Deed of Trust and any existing or future law providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Property prior to any sale.

ARTICLE 6

Beneficiary shall not be responsible to any Holder for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Deed of Trust or the financial condition of the Grantor or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Deed of Trust, or the financial condition of the Grantor or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default.

Without limiting the foregoing, no Holder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Beneficiary as a result of Beneficiary acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Holders.

6.5 Reliance. Beneficiary shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper Person or entity on behalf of any Holders, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Deed of Trust and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

7.14 Expenses and Attorney Fees. If Beneficiary refers any of the Obligations to an attorney for collection or seeks legal advice following a default; if Beneficiary is the prevailing party in any litigation instituted in connection with any of the Obligations; or if Beneficiary or any other person initiates any judicial or nonjudicial action, suit or proceeding in connection with any of the Obligations or the Property (including but not limited to proceedings under federal bankruptcy law, eminent domain, under probate proceedings or in connection with any state or federal tax lien), and an attorney is employed by Beneficiary to (a) appear in any such action, suit or proceeding, or (b) reclaim, seek relief from a judicial or statutory stay, sequester, protect, preserve or enforce Beneficiary’s interests, then in any such event Grantor shall pay reasonable attorney fees, costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary and/or its attorney in connection with the above mentioned events or any appeals related to such events, including but not limited to costs incurred in searching records, the cost of title reports and the cost of surveyors’ reports.
