any duty, obligation, or liability of Trustor under this Deed of
Trust or under any other document or instrument given by Trustor to
evidence or otherwise secure the indebtedness secured by this Deed
of Trust, and without subjecting Beneficiary to any liability to

covenant, or agreement in this Deed of Trust, if the failure or
neglect continues to exist for 20 days following written notice to

the failure or neglect to be of the nature that waiting for the
expiration of the 20-day period would materially impair
Beneficiary’s security under this Deed of Trust, the failure
or neglect will immediately constitute an Event of Default. Also,
if the failure or neglect of performance is not capable of being
cured within the 20-day period, the failure or neglect will not

Beneficiary’s sole discretion, pursue any one or more of the
following remedies:

Beneficiary’s declaration, all applicable Obligations, will
become due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest or
notice of any kind except as otherwise provided in this Deed of
Trust;
(b) Either in person or by agent,
with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver

of Beneficiary’s right to foreclose judicially, Beneficiary
may elect to cause all or any part of the Trust Property to be sold
at a private foreclosure sale as follows:
(A) Beneficiary may proceed as if
all of the Trust Property were real property, or may elect to treat
any of the Trust Property that consists of a right in action or
that is property that in the opinion of Beneficiary can be severed
from the Land or Improvements without causing structural damage as
though the same were personal Trust Property, and dispose of it as
property
8
subject to the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State of California (“ UCC ”),
treating the remainder of the Trust Property as real
property.
(B) Beneficiary may cause any sale
or other disposition to be conducted immediately following the
expiration of any cure period specified in this Deed of Trust, or
immediately upon the expiration of any redemption or reinstatement
period required by law, or Beneficiary may delay any sale or other
disposition for any period of time as Beneficiary deems to be in
its best interest. Should Beneficiary desire that more than one
sale or other disposition be conducted, Beneficiary may, at its
option, cause it to be conducted simultaneously or successively, on
the same day or at different days or times and in any order as
Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interests.
(ii) As to any part of the Trust
Property that is subject to the UCC:
(A) If Beneficiary elects to cause
any of the Trust Property which is subject to the UCC to be
disposed of or sold, Beneficiary may at its discretion dispose of
any applicable part of the Trust Property in any order or manner
permitted by the UCC, or in accordance with any other remedy
provided by applicable law, regardless of whether the property is
located on or about the Premises. Any disposition may be conducted
by an employee or agent of Beneficiary or Trustee. Trustor and
Beneficiary will be eligible to purchase any part or all of the
sale property at any such disposition, which may be either public
or private as Beneficiary may elect. Beneficiary will also have the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or otherwise
available at law or in equity.
(B) Under the power of sale granted
by this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may, in its discretion and
without regard to the adequacy of its security, elect to proceed
against any or all of the Trust Property (including personal
property and fixtures) in any manner permitted under
Section 9501(4)(a) of the UCC; and if the Beneficiary elects
to proceed in the manner permitted under
Section 9501(4)(a)(ii) of the UCC, the power of sale will be
exercisable with respect to all or any of the Trust Property
(whether constituting personal property or Improvements covered by
this Deed of Trust, as designated by Beneficiary, and the Trustee
is authorized and empowered to conduct any sale of any Real Trust
Property (including personal property and fixtures) in accordance
with the procedures applicable to the sale of real
property.
(C) Where the Trust Property
consists of real property and personal property, any reinstatement
of the obligation secured by this Deed of Trust following default
and an election by Beneficiary to accelerate the maturity of the
obligation (which reinstatement is made by the Trustor or
any
9
other person or entity permitted to
exercise the right of reinstatement under Section 2924c of the
California Civil Code or any successor statute), will not prohibit,
in accordance with the terms of California Commercial Code
Section 9501(4)(c)(iii), Beneficiary from conducting a sale or
other disposition of any personal property or fixtures or from
otherwise proceeding against or continuing to proceed against any
personal property or fixtures in any manner permitted by the UCC.
No reinstatement will invalidate, rescind, or otherwise affect any
sale, disposition, or other proceeding held, conducted, or
instituted with respect to any personal property or fixtures prior
to the reinstatement or pending at the time of the reinstatement.
Any sums paid to Beneficiary in effecting any reinstatement
pursuant to Section 2924c of the California Civil Code will be
applied to the secured obligation and to the Beneficiary’s
and Trustee’s reasonable costs and expenses in the manner
required by Section 2924c.
(D) Expenses of retaking, holding,
preparing for sale, selling, or the like will be borne by the
Trustor and will include all attorney fees, costs and expenses
incurred by Beneficiary or Trustee, and will not be limited to
amounts provided as recoverable by statute. The Trustor, upon
demand of Beneficiary, will assemble all property and make it
available to Beneficiary at the Project site, a place which
Beneficiary and the Trustor deem to be reasonable. Beneficiary will
give the Trustor at least five days’ prior written
notice of the time and place of any public sale or other
disposition of the property or of the time of or after which any
private sale or other intended disposition is to be made, and if
any notice is sent to the Trustor, the Trustor acknowledges that it
will constitute reasonable notice to the Trustor.
(iii) If Beneficiary elects to sell
all or part of the Trust Property, Beneficiary or Trustee will give
notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by
applicable law. Thereafter, upon the expiration of any applicable
time and the giving of notice, and without the necessity of any
demand on the Trustor, Trustee, at the time and place specified in
the notice of sale, will sell all or any portion of the Trust
Property specified by Beneficiary, at public auction to the highest
bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at
time of sale. Trustee may, and upon request of Beneficiary will,
from time to time, postpone any sale by public announcement at the
time and place noticed or fixed by the previous postponement. If
the property consists of several lots or parcels, Beneficiary may
designate the order in which the lots or parcels will be offered
for sale or sold. The Trustor expressly waives its right to direct
the order of sale.
(iv) The acknowledgment of the
receipt of the purchase money contained in any deed or instrument
of conveyance will be sufficient to discharge the grantee from all
obligations to see to the proper application of the consideration
given. The purchaser at any sale may disaffirm any easement granted
or rental or lease contract made in violation of any provision of
this Deed of Trust, and may take
10
immediate possession of the Trust
Property free from, and despite the terms of, the grant of easement
and rental or lease contract.
(v) If the Trust Property consists
of several lots, parcels or items of property, Beneficiary may, in
its discretion, designate the order in which the lots, parcels or
items will be offered for sale or sold or elect to sell all lots,
parcels or items through a single sale, or through two or more
successive sales, or in any other manner Beneficiary deems in its
best interest. If Beneficiary desires that more than one sale or
other disposition of the Trust Property be conducted, Beneficiary
may, at its option, cause the sales to be conducted simultaneously,
or successively, on the same day, or at different days or times and
in any order as Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interests,
and no sale will terminate or otherwise affect the lien of this
Deed of Trust on any unsold part of the Trust Property until the
Obligations have been fully paid. If Beneficiary elects to dispose
of the Trust Property through more than one sale, the Trustor
agrees to pay the costs and expenses of each sale and/or of any
judicial proceedings where the sale is made, including reasonable
compensation to Trustee and Beneficiary, their agents and counsel,
and to pay all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred
by Trustee with the sale or sales, together with interest on all
advances made by Trustee at the Default Rate. Any person (including
the Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary) may purchase at any sale, and
Beneficiary will have the right to purchase at any sale by
crediting upon the bid price the amount of all or any part of the
Obligations, as specified below. Beneficiary, upon any purchase,
will acquire good title to the properties so purchased, free of the
lien of this Deed of Trust and free of all rights of redemption in
the Trustor and free of all liens and encumbrances subordinate to
this Deed of Trust. Upon any sale, the Trustee will execute and
deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a deed or deeds conveying
the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty
whatsoever, express or implied, whereupon the purchaser or
purchasers will be let into immediate possession. The recitals in
any deed or deeds of fact, such as default, the giving of notice of
default, and notice of sale, and other facts affecting the
regularity or validity of sale or disposition, will be conclusive
proof of the truth of the facts and any deed or deeds will be
conclusive against all persons as to these facts.
(vi) Nothing in this Deed of Trust
dealing with foreclosure procedures or specifying particular
actions to be taken by Beneficiary or by Trustee or any similar
officer in connection with a foreclosure sale will be deemed to
contradict or add to the requirements and procedures now or in the
future specified by California law, and any inconsistency will be
resolved in favor of California law applicable at the time of
foreclosure.
(vii) Trustee covenants faithfully
to perform and fulfill the trusts created by this Deed of Trust;
and, to the extent permissible by law, waives any statutory fee and
agrees to accept instead reasonable compensation for any services
rendered.
11
(viii) Upon any sale made under this
Deed of Trust, whether made under the power of sale or by virtue of
judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and
sale, Beneficiary may bid for and acquire all or part of the Trust
Property and, in lieu of paying cash, may make settlement for the
purchase price by crediting upon the indebtedness or other sums
secured by this Deed of Trust the net sales price after deducting
the expenses of sale and the costs of the action and any other sums
that Trustee or Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under this Deed
of Trust. If it does so, this Deed of Trust, the Note and other
documents evidencing the Obligations will be presented to the
person or persons conducting the sale so that the amount so used or
applied may be credited to the Obligations; and
(d) Exercise any other rights or
remedies that may now or in the future be available to the
Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents or
pursuant to applicable law or in equity.

Beneficiary elects to sell the Trustor’s interest in the
