interest in and to any and all:
A. Existing or future leases, subleases, licenses,
guaranties and any other written or verbal agreements for
the use and occupancy of any portion of the Property,

including but not limited to security deposits, minimum
rent, percentage rent, additional rent, common area
maintenance charges, parking charges, real estate

rights and claims which Grantor may have that in any way
pertain to or are on account of the use or occupancy of
the whole or any part of the Property.
In the event any item listed as Leases or Rents is determined to be
personal property, this Deed of Trust will also be regarded as a
security agreement.
Grantor will promptly provide Bank with true and correct copies of all
existing and future Leases. Grantor may collect, receive, enjoy and
use the Rents so long as Grantor is not in default. Except for one
lease period s rent, Grantor will not collect in advance any Rents in

court costs. Any remaining amounts shall be applied to reduce the

Grantor agrees that this agreement is immediately effective between
the parties to this Deed of Trust and effective as to third parties on
Grantor s default when Bank or Trustee takes an affirmative action as
prescribed by the law in the state where the Property is located, and
this assignment will remain effective during any period of redemption
by Grantor until the Obligations are satisfied. Unless otherwise
prohibited or prescribed by state law, Grantor agrees that Bank or
Trustee may take actual possession of the Property without the
necessity of commencing any legal action or proceeding and Grantor
agrees that actual possession of the Property is deemed to occur when
Bank notifies Grantor of Grantor s default and demands that Grantor
and Grantor s tenants pay all Rents due or to become due directly to
Bank. Immediately after Bank gives Grantor the notice of default,
Grantor will endorse and deliver to Bank any payment of Rents. If
Grantor becomes subject to a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy,
then Grantor agrees that Bank and Trustee are entitled to receive relief
from the automatic stay in bankruptcy for the purpose of making this
assignment effective and enforceable under state and federal laws and
within Grantor s bankruptcy proceedings.
Grantor warrants that no default exists under the Leases or any
applicable landlord law. Grantor also warrants and agrees to maintain,
and require the tenants to comply with, the Leases and any applicable
law. Grantor will promptly notify bank of any noncompliance. If
Grantor neglects or refuses to enforce compliance with the terms of the
Leases, then Bank or Trustee may opt to enforce compliance to the
extent that the law permits. Grantor will obtain Bank s written
authorization before Grantor consents to sublet, modify, cancel, or
otherwise after the Leases, to accept the surrender of the Property
covers by such Leases (unless the Leases so require), or to assign,
compromise or encumber the Leases or any future Rents. Grantor will
hold Bank harmless and indemnify Bank for any and all liability, loss
or damage that Bank may incur as a consequence of the assignment
under this paragraph.

Bank s records as may be required by law. If Grantor fails to pay all
sums that are due and payable within the time period provided by law
or as provided in the notice (if any), Bank may, without further notice
or demand on Grantor, invoke any remedies permitted on Default. In

purchase the Property. The recitals in any deed or deeds of
conveyance shall be taken as prima facie true. Bank and Trustee are
entitled to all rights and remedies provided at law or equity whether or
not expressly stated in this Deed of Trust. By choosing any remedy,
Bank and Trustee do not waive their right to an immediate use of any
other remedy if the event of default continues or occurs again.

option, declare the entire balance will all accrued interest on the
Obligations to be immediately due and payable upon the contract for,

or any portion thereof, by Grantor. Lapse of time or the acceptance of
payments by Bank after such creation of any lien, encumbrance,
transfer, sale or contract for any of the foregoing shall not be deemed
a waiver or estoppel of Bank s right to accelerate the Note. If Grantor
fails to pay such sums prior to the expiration of such period, Bank
may, without further notice or demand on Grantor, invoke any
remedies permitted on Default. This covenant shall run with the
Property and shall remain in effect until the Obligations and this Deed

the holder of the Note shall at once become entitled to appointment of
a receiver for the Property and the rents, issues and profits from the

against loss by fire, and other hazard, casualty and loss, with extended
coverage including but not limited to the replacement value of all
improvements, with an insurance company acceptable to Bank and in
an amount acceptable to Bank. Such insurance shall contain the
standard Mortgage Clause and where applicable, Loss Payee
Clause , which shall name and endorse Bank as mortgagee and loss
payee. Such insurance shall also contain a provision under which the
insurer shall give Bank at least 30 days notice before the cancellation,
termination or material change in coverage.

rather than to repair, rebuild or replace the Property lost or damaged,
Bank shall have the option to apply such insurance proceeds upon the
Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust whether or not then due or
to have said Property repaired or rebuilt. Grantor hereby appoints
Bank as Grantor s attornery-in-fact, coupled with an interest to collect,
settle, and compromise and matters with insurer. Grantor shall deliver,

check or draft. Grantor shall pay the premiums required to maintain
such insurance in effect until such time as the requirement for such
insurance terminates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the
Property is acquired by Bank under the terms of this Deed of Trust, all
right, title, and interest of Grantor in and to any insurance policies
(including proceeds thereof resulting from damage to the Property
prior to the sale or acquisition) shall pass to Bank to the extent of the
sums secured by this Deed of Trust immediately prior to such sale or
