The foregoing limitation of liability is intended to apply only to the obligation for the repayment of the principal of, and payment of interest on the Note and the performance of the Borrower's obligations under the Deed of Trust, except as hereafter set forth; nothing contained herein is intended to relieve the Borrower of its obligation to indemnify the City under Sections 4.5(c) and 8.4 of this Agreement, or liability for (i) fraud or willful misrepresentation; (ii) the failure to pay taxes, assessments or other charges which may create liens on the Property that are payable or applicable prior to any foreclosure under the Deed of Trust (to the full extent of such taxes, assessments or other charges); (iii) the fair market value of any personal property or fixtures removed or disposed of by Borrower other than in accordance with the Deed of Trust; and (iv) the misappropriation of any proceeds under any insurance policies or awards resulting from condemnation or the exercise of the power of eminent domain or by reason of damage, loss or destruction to any portion of the Property.

Section 5.1 Definitions.
As used in this Article 5, the term ''Transfer" means:
(a) Any total or partial sale, lease, assignment, or other conveyance, or any trust or power, or any transfer in any other mode or form, of or with respect to this Agreement or of any part of or interest in the Project, or any agreement to do any of the foregoing; or
(b) Any total or partial sale, assignment, or other conveyance, or any trust or power, or any transfer in any other mode or form, of, or with respect to, the general or limited partner ownership interests of the Borrower, or any agreement to do any of the foregoing.
Section 5.2 Purpose of Restrictions on Transfer.
This Agreement is entered into solely for the purpose of providing assistance for the Borrower's development of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Regulatory Agreement. The qualifications and identity of the Borrower are of particular concern to the City, in view of:
(a) The importance of the Project to the general welfare of the community;
(b) The public aids that have been made available by law and by the government for the purpose of making such Project possible; (c) The reliance by the City upon the unique qualifications and ability of the Borrower to serve as the catalyst for development of the Property and upon the DRAFT
21 1378\14\3845910.1
continuing interest which the Borrower will have in the Project to assure the quality of the use, operation, and maintenance deemed critical by the City in the development of the Property;
(d) The fact that a change in ownership or control of the Borrower of the Project, or of a substantial part thereof, or ally other act or transaction involving or resulting in a significant change in ownership or with respect to the identity of the parties in control of the Borrower or the degree thereof, is for practical purposes a transfer or disposition of the Project; and
(e) The importance to the City of the standards of use, operation, and maintenance of the Project. It is because of the qualifications and identity of the Borrower that the City is entering into this Agreement and that Transfers are permitted only as provided in this Agreement.
Section 5.3 Prohibited Transfers.
The limitations on Transfers set forth in this Article 5 shall apply throughout the term of the Regulatory Agreement. Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, the Borrower represents that, except for certain purchase options and a right of first refusal entered into in connection with the syndication of limited partnership interests in the Borrower, it has not made or created, and agrees that it will not make or create or suffer to be made or created, any Transfer, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written approval of the City.
Any Transfer made in contravention of this Section 5.3 shall at the City's discretion be void and shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under this Agreement, whether or not the Borrower knew of or participated in such Transfer.

City consent is not required for the following:
(a) Rental of the Accessory Dwelling Unit by the Borrower in the ordinary course of business and in compliance with the Regulatory Agreement. (b) The granting of temporary or permanent easements or permits to facilitate construction of the Improvements.
(c) Any Transfer for the purpose of obtaining and securing financing, approved by the City in the Approved Project Budget, which is necessary to construct the Project, including the grant of a deed of trust, assignment of rents and security agreement, to secure the necessary funding.
(d) Any Transfer directly resulting from the foreclosure of a deed of trust, or the granting of a deed in lieu of foreclosure under a deed of trust, where the deed of trust secures financing approved by the City in the Approved Project Budget.

Section 5.5 Permitted Transfers With Prior Approval.

responsibility in any of these matters or for the making of improvements or additions to the Security.

Trustor irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Beneficiary as its agent (said agency being coupled with an interest) with the authority, but without any obligation, to file for record any notices of completion or cessation of labor or any other like notice that Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable to protect its interest in and to the Security or the Loan Documents; provided, however, that Beneficiary shall exercise its rights as agent of Trustor only in the event that Trustor shall fail to take, or shall fail to diligently continue to take, those actions as hereinbefore provided.

of the Property as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary and Trustor shall apply the rents and revenues so collected to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust with the balance, so long as no such breach has occurred, to the account of Trustor, it being intended by Trustor and Beneficiary that this assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Upon delivery of written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, and without the necessity of Beneficiary entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Property in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Beneficiary shall immediately be entitled to possession of all rents and revenues of the Property as specified in this Section 2.3 as the same becomes due and payable, including but not limited to rents then due and unpaid, and all such rents shall immediately upon delivery of such notice be held by Trustor as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary only; provided, however, that the written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor shall contain a statement that Beneficiary exercises its rights to such rents. Trustor agrees that commencing upon delivery of such written notice of Trustor's breach by Beneficiary to Trustor, each tenant of the Property shall make such rents payable to and pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents on Beneficiary's written demand to each tenant therefor, delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit, without any liability on the part of said tenant to inquire further as to the existence of a default by Trustor.
Except for the financing previously approved by the Beneficiary, Trustor hereby covenants that Trustor has not executed any prior assignment of said rents, that Trustor has not performed, and will not perform, any acts or has not executed and will not execute, any instrument which would prevent Beneficiary from exercising its rights under this Section 2.3, and that at the time of execution of this Deed of Trust, there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the rents of the Property for more than two (2) months prior to the due dates of such rents. Trustor covenants that Trustor will not hereafter collect or accept payment of any rents of the Property more than two (2) months prior to the due dates of such rents. Trustor further covenants that Trustor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary such further assignments of rents and revenues of the Property as Beneficiary may from time to time request.
Upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, Beneficiary may in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy of Beneficiary's security, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Property in order to perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof including, but not limited to, the execution, cancellation or modification of leases, the collection of all rents and revenues of the Property, the making of repairs to the Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management or maintenance of the Property, all on such terms as are deemed best to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. In the event Beneficiary elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust, Trustor hereby expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver. Beneficiary or the receiver shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for so managing the Property.

Unless Beneficiary and Trustor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Beneficiary to Trustor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in Section 3.3.
Any entering upon and taking and maintaining of control of the Property by Beneficiary or the receiver and any application of rents as provided herein shall not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any other right or remedy of Beneficiary under applicable law or provided herein.

In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be "environmentally impaired" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an "affected parcel" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting the Beneficiary's or the Trustee's rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary may elect to exercise its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to (1) waive its lien on such environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property and (2) exercise (a) the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against the Trustor to judgment, and (b) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of determining the DRAFT

(a) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or DRAFT
13 1378\14\3846378.1
proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without r security, enter upon the Security and take possession thereof (or any part thereof) and of any of the Security, in its own name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts which it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value or marketability of the Property, or part thereof or interest therein, increase the income therefrom or protect the security thereof. The entering upon and taking possession of the Security shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or Notice of Default (as defined below) 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 Security, Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Deed of Trust, or by law upon occurrence of any Event of Default, including the right to exercise the power of sale;
(b) Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage, appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof; (c) Deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale, and a written notice of default and election to cause Trustor's interest in the Security to be sold ("Notice of Default and Election to Sell"), which notice Trustee or Beneficiary shall cause to be duly filed for record in the Official Records of Monterey County; or

Except as provided below, the Borrower nor any of its partners shall not have any direct or indirect personal liability for payment of the principal of or interest on, the Note or the performance of the covenants of the Borrower under the Deed of Trust (if any).
The sole recourse of the City with respect to the principal of, or interest on, the Note and defaults by Borrower in the performance of its covenants under the Deed of Trust (if any) shall be to the Property pursuant to the Deed of Trust; provided, however, that nothing contained in the foregoing limitation of liability shall (a) limit or impair the enforcement against all such security for the Note of all the rights and remedies of the City thereunder, or (b) be deemed in any way to impair the right of the City to assert the unpaid principal amount of the Note as demand for money within the meaning and intendment of Section 431.70 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any successor provision thereto. The foregoing limitation of liability is intended to apply only to the obligation for the repayment of the principal of, and payment of interest on the Note and the performance of the Borrower's obligations under the Deed of Trust, except as hereafter set forth; nothing contained herein is intended to relieve the Borrower of its obligation to indemnify the City under Sections 4.5(c) and 8.4 of this Agreement, or liability for (i) fraud or willful misrepresentation; (ii) the failure to pay taxes, assessments or other charges which may create liens on the Property that are payable or applicable prior to any foreclosure under the Deed of Trust (to the full extent of such taxes, assessments or other charges); (iii) the fair market value of any personal property or fixtures removed or disposed of by Borrower other than in accordance with the Deed of Trust; and (iv) the misappropriation of any proceeds under any insurance policies or awards resulting from condemnation or the exercise of the power of eminent domain or by reason of damage, loss or destruction to any portion of the Property.

Trustor agrees that at all times prior to full payment of the sum owed under the Note, Trustor will, at Trustor's own expense, maintain, preserve, and keep the Security or cause the Security to be maintained and preserved in good condition.
Trustor will from time to time make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements, and renewals deemed proper and necessary by it. Beneficiary shall have no DRAFT

responsibility in any of these matters or for the making of improvements or additions to the Security.
Trustor agrees to pay fully and discharge (or cause to be paid fully and discharged) all claims for labor done and for material and services furnished in connection with the Security, diligently to file or procure the filing of a valid notice of cessation upon the event of a cessation of labor on the work or construction on the Security for a continuous period of thirty (30) days or more, and to take all other reasonable steps to forestall the assertion of claims of lien against the Security of any part thereof. Trustor irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Beneficiary as its agent (said agency being coupled with an interest) with the authority, but without any obligation, to file for record any notices of completion or cessation of labor or any other like notice that Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable to protect its interest in and to the Security or the Loan Documents; provided, however, that Beneficiary shall exercise its rights as agent of Trustor only in the event that Trustor shall fail to take, or shall fail to diligently continue to take, those actions as hereinbefore provided.

As to these exceptions, Beneficiary will grant and/or direct Trustee to grant such easements.
Section 2.3. Assignment of Rents.
As part of the consideration for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all the rents and revenues of the Property including those now due, past due, or to become due by virtue of any lease or other agreement for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property, regardless of to whom the rents and revenues of the Property are payable.
Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents to collect the aforesaid rents and revenues and hereby directs each tenant of the Property to pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents; provided, however, that prior to written notice given by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, Trustor shall collect and receive all rents and revenues DRAFT
5 1378\14\3846378.1
of the Property as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary and Trustor shall apply the rents and revenues so collected to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust with the balance, so long as no such breach has occurred, to the account of Trustor, it being intended by Trustor and Beneficiary that this assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Upon delivery of written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, and without the necessity of Beneficiary entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Property in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Beneficiary shall immediately be entitled to possession of all rents and revenues of the Property as specified in this Section 2.3 as the same becomes due and payable, including but not limited to rents then due and unpaid, and all such rents shall immediately upon delivery of such notice be held by Trustor as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary only; provided, however, that the written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor shall contain a statement that Beneficiary exercises its rights to such rents. Trustor agrees that commencing upon delivery of such written notice of Trustor's breach by Beneficiary to Trustor, each tenant of the Property shall make such rents payable to and pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents on Beneficiary's written demand to each tenant therefor, delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit, without any liability on the part of said tenant to inquire further as to the existence of a default by Trustor.
Except for the financing previously approved by the Beneficiary, Trustor hereby covenants that Trustor has not executed any prior assignment of said rents, that Trustor has not performed, and will not perform, any acts or has not executed and will not execute, any instrument which would prevent Beneficiary from exercising its rights under this Section 2.3, and that at the time of execution of this Deed of Trust, there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the rents of the Property for more than two (2) months prior to the due dates of such rents. Trustor covenants that Trustor will not hereafter collect or accept payment of any rents of the Property more than two (2) months prior to the due dates of such rents. Trustor further covenants that Trustor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary such further assignments of rents and revenues of the Property as Beneficiary may from time to time request.
Upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, Beneficiary may in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy of Beneficiary's security, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Property in order to perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof including, but not limited to, the execution, cancellation or modification of leases, the collection of all rents and revenues of the Property, the making of repairs to the Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management or maintenance of the Property, all on such terms as are deemed best to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. In the event Beneficiary elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust, Trustor hereby expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver. Beneficiary or the receiver shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for so managing the Property.

Beneficiary shall not be liable to Trustor, anyone claiming under or through Trustor or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Beneficiary under this Section 2.3.
If the rents of the Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents, any funds expended by Beneficiary for such purposes shall become indebtedness of Trustor to Beneficiary secured by this Deed of Trust pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof. Unless Beneficiary and Trustor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Beneficiary to Trustor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in Section 3.3.
Any entering upon and taking and maintaining of control of the Property by Beneficiary or the receiver and any application of rents as provided herein shall not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any other right or remedy of Beneficiary under applicable law or provided herein. This assignment of rents of the Property shall terminate at such time as this Deed of Trust ceases to secure indebtedness held by Beneficiary. The rights of the Beneficiary under this Section 2.3 are subject to the rights of any senior mortgage lender.

Section 6.2 Notice to Beneficiary.
Trustor shall immediately advise Beneficiary in writing if at any time it receives written notice of (a) any and all enforcement, cleanup, removal or other governmental or regulatory actions instituted, completed or threatened against Trustor or the Property pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous Materials ("Hazardous Materials Law"); (b) all claims made or threatened by any third party against Trustor or the Property relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials (the matters set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above hereinafter referred to a "Hazardous Materials Claims"); and (c) Trustor's discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause the Property or any part thereof to be subject to a land use restriction pursuant to California Health and Safety Code, Sections 25220 et seq. or any regulation adopted in accordance therewith, or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of the Property under any Hazardous Materials Law.

Trustor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) this Article is intended as Beneficiary's written request for information (and Trustor's response) concerning the environmental condition of the Property as required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, and (b) each representation and warranty in this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents (together with any indemnity applicable to a breach of any such representation and warranty) with respect to the environmental condition of the property is intended by Beneficiary and Trustor to be an "environmental provision" for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736.
In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be "environmentally impaired" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an "affected parcel" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting the Beneficiary's or the Trustee's rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary may elect to exercise its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to (1) waive its lien on such environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property and (2) exercise (a) the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against the Trustor to judgment, and (b) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of determining the DRAFT
12 1378\14\3846378.1
Beneficiary's right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a), the Trustor shall be deemed to have willfully permitted or acquiesced in a release or threatened release of hazardous materials, within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of hazardous materials was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee, occupant, or user of any portion of the Property and the Trustor knew or should have known of the activity by such lessee, occupant, or user which caused or contributed to the release or threatened release. All costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorneys' fees, incurred by the Beneficiary in connection with any action commenced under this paragraph, including any action required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree to which the Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the rate specified in the Note until paid, shall be added to the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be due and payable to the Beneficiary upon its demand made at any time following the conclusion of such action.
The Trustor is aware that California Civil Code Section 2955.5(a) provides as follows: "No lender shall require a borrower, as a condition of receiving or maintaining a loan secured by real property, to provide hazard insurance coverage against risks to the improvements on that real property in an amount exceeding the replacement value of the improvements on the property."

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary may:
(a) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or DRAFT
13 1378\14\3846378.1
proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without r security, enter upon the Security and take possession thereof (or any part thereof) and of any of the Security, in its own name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts which it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value or marketability of the Property, or part thereof or interest therein, increase the income therefrom or protect the security thereof. The entering upon and taking possession of the Security shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or Notice of Default (as defined below) 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 Security, Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Deed of Trust, or by law upon occurrence of any Event of Default, including the right to exercise the power of sale;
(b) Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage, appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof; (c) Deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale, and a written notice of default and election to cause Trustor's interest in the Security to be sold ("Notice of Default and Election to Sell"), which notice Trustee or Beneficiary shall cause to be duly filed for record in the Official Records of Monterey County; or

Section 7.4 Foreclosure by Power of Sale.
Should Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein contained, Beneficiary shall give notice to Trustee ("Notice of Sale") and shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust which is secured hereby (and the deposit of which shall be deemed to constitute evidence that the unpaid Principal and Interest is immediately due and payable), and such receipts and evidence of any expenditures made that are additionally secured hereby as Trustee may require. (a) Upon receipt of such notice from Beneficiary, Trustee shall cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Trustor such Notice of Default and Election to Sell as then required by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Trustor, after lapse of such time as may then be required by law and after recordation of such Notice of Default and Election to Sell and after Notice of Sale having been given as required by law, sell the Security, at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said Notice of Sale, whether as a whole or in separate lots or parcels or items as Trustee shall deem expedient and in such order as it may determine unless specified otherwise by Trustor according to California Civil Code Section 2924g(b), 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 DRAFT
14 1378\14\3846378.1
without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed or any matters of facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without limitation, Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale, and Trustor hereby covenants to warrant and defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers.
(b) After deducting all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of Trustee, including costs of evidence of title in connection with such sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of: (i) the unpaid Principal and Interest under the Note; (ii) all other amounts owed to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents; (iii) all other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to Trustor. (c) Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter, 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 7.5 Receiver.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary, as a matter of right and without further notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under the Security, and without regard to the then value of the Security or the interest of Trustor therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Security (or a part thereof), and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives further notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases, and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided herein, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Security, unless such receivership is sooner terminated.
Section 7.6 RemediesCumulative.
No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Section 7.7 No Waiver.
(a) No delay or omission of Beneficiary to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Deed of Trust to Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expeditious by Beneficiary. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Beneficiary to or any breach by Trustor in the performance of the obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent to or waiver of obligations DRAFT
15 1378\14\3846378.1
of Trustor hereunder. Failure on the part of Beneficiary to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Beneficiary of its right hereunder or impair any rights, power or remedies consequent on any Event of Default by Trustor. (b) If Beneficiary (i) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby, (ii) takes other or additional security or the payment of any sums secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the Loan Documents, (iv) releases any part of the Security from the lien of this Deed of Trust, or otherwise changes any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements in the Loan Documents, (v) consents to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Security, or (iv) makes or consents to any agreement subordinating the lien hereof, any such act or omission shall not, except by its express terms, release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under this Deed of Trust, or any other obligation of Trustor or any subsequent purchaser of the Security or any part thereof, or any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor (unless expressly released); nor, except by its express terms, shall any such act or omission preclude Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in any Event of Default then made or in any subsequent Event of Default, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Beneficiary shall the lien of this Deed of Trust be altered thereby.

In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Trustor, its creditors or its property, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Beneficiary allowed in such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Trustor hereunder after such date.
