Mortgaged Property and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Deed of Trust is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable, shall be regarded as part of the real estate encumbered by this Deed of Trust irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain equipment items capable of being thus identified in a recital contained herein or in any list filed with Beneficiary, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement of (A) rights in or to the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy, or (B) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (C) Grantor’s interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall never be construed as in anyway altering any of the rights of Beneficiary as determined by this instrument or impugning the priority of Beneficiary’s lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document, but such mention in the financing statement is declared to be for the protection of Beneficiary in the event any court or judge shall at any time hold with respect to (A), (B) and (C) that notice of Beneficiary’s priority of interest to be effective against a particular class of persons, including but not limited to the Federal government and any subdivisions or entity of the Federal government, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records.
1.11 After-Acquired Mortgaged Property. To the extent permitted by and subject to applicable law, the lien of this Deed of Trust will automatically attach, without further act, to all after-acquired property located in or on, or attached to, or used or intended to be used in connection with, or with the operation of, the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.
1.12 Expenses.
(a) Grantor shall promptly pay all appraisal fees, environmental assessment and audit fees, recording fees, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, abstract fees, title policy fees, escrow fees, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses, court costs, and all other costs and expenses of every character which have been incurred or which may hereafter be incurred by the Trustee or Beneficiary in connection with: (i) the preparation and execution of the Securities and the Indenture; (ii) the funding of loans evidenced by the Securities; (iii) upon an Event of Default, preparation for enforcement of Securities and the Indenture, whether or not suit or other action is actually commenced or undertaken; (iv) enforcement of the Securities and the Indenture; (v) court or administrative proceedings of any kind to which Beneficiary may be a party, either as plaintiff or defendant, by reason of the Securities and the Indenture; (vi) preparation for and actions taken in connection with Beneficiary’s taking possession of the Mortgaged Property; (vii) negotiations with Grantor, Guarantors or any of their respective agents in connection with the existence or cure of any Event of Default; (viii) any proposed refinancing by Beneficiary of the Obligations secured hereby; (ix) the transfer of the Mortgaged Property in lieu of foreclosure; and (x) the approval by Beneficiary of actions taken or proposed to be taken by Grantor, Guarantors or other person or entity which approval is required by the terms of this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall, upon demand by Beneficiary, reimburse Beneficiary for all such expenses which have been incurred or which shall be incurred by it.
(b) Grantor shall indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary from and against,
15
and reimburse it for, all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) which may be imposed upon, asserted against, or incurred or paid by it by reason of, on account of or in connection with any bodily injury or death or property damage occurring in or upon or in the vicinity of the Mortgaged Property through any cause whatsoever or asserted against it on account of any act performed or omitted to be performed thereunder or on account of any transaction arising out of or in any way connected with the Mortgaged Property, or with this Deed of Trust; provided, however, that Grantor shall have no obligation hereunder to Beneficiary for that portion of any Indemnified Liabilities that is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary.
(c) All amounts, expenses, costs and liabilities incurred or arising under Paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 1.12 shall together be known as the “Expenses”. If Grantor fails to pay any of the Expenses referred to in Section 1.12 (a), Beneficiary may pay any amount due under Section 1.12 (a) and add the amounts so paid to the Obligations hereby secured. If Grantor fails to reimburse Beneficiary for any of the Expenses referred to in Section 1.12 (b), Beneficiary may add the amounts owing by Grantor under Section 1.12 (b) to the Obligations hereby secured. Beneficiary shall notify Grantor of its election to exercise its rights under this Section 1.12 (c), in a timely manner.
1.13 Transfer or Further Encumbrance of the Mortgaged Property.
(a) Except as provided in and contemplated by the Asset Transfer Agreement, of even date herewith between Grantor and the Buick Resource Recycling Facility, LLC and in Section 4.16 of the Indenture, Grantor may not sell, convey, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property. In the event of any sale, conveyance, transfer, lease, pledge or further encumbrance of the Mortgaged Property or any interest in or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or any further assignment of rents (other than encumbrances subject to the right of Grantor to contest such encumbrances as permitted under Section 1.5 hereof and the Permitted Encumbrances), at Beneficiary’s option, Beneficiary may declare all Obligations of Grantor to be due and payable immediately without demand or notice.
(b) In the event ownership of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, becomes vested in a person, persons or an entity or entities other than Grantor, without the prior written approval of Beneficiary, Beneficiary may, without notice to the Grantor, waive such default and deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to the Deed of Trust, and the Obligations in the same manner as with Grantor, without in any way releasing, discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of Grantor hereunder or the Obligations. No sale of the Mortgaged Property shall in any way whatsoever operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Grantor herein, either in whole or in part, nor shall the full force and effect of this lien be altered thereby. Any deed conveying the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, shall, at Beneficiary’s option, provide that the grantee thereunder assumes all of the Grantor’s obligations under the Deed of Trust, the Obligations and all other instruments or agreements evidencing or securing the repayment of the Obligations. In the event such deed shall not contain such assumption, the grantee under such deed shall nevertheless be deemed to have
16
assumed such obligations by acquiring the Mortgaged Property or such portion thereof subject to the Deed of Trust.
1.14 Assignment of Rents and Leases.
(a) Assignment. For and in consideration of the sum of Ten and 00/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to secure the full, timely and indefeasible payment, performance and discharge of the Obligations, Grantor does hereby GRANT, BARGAIN, SELL and CONVEY absolutely unto Beneficiary the Leases and the Rents, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances, if any, applicable thereto. It is the intent of the parties that no conflict exist between the absolute assignment contained in this Section 1.14 and the collateral conveyance contained in the granting clause of this Deed of Trust. However, if and to the extent any such conflict be perceived to exist as to the Leases or the Rents, such conflict shall be resolved in favor of the absolute assignment contained in this Section 1.14. The assignment contained herein shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of either party and specifically, Beneficiary shall be entitled, at its option, at any time on or after the occurrence of an Event of Default to all Rents and Leases, whether or not Beneficiary takes possession of such property. The foregoing provisions hereof shall constitute an absolute and present assignment of the Leases and Rents, subject, however, to the License (as defined below) given to Grantor provided for below; and the existence or exercise of such right of Grantor shall not operate to subordinate this assignment to any subsequent assignment, in whole or in part, by Grantor, and any such subsequent assignment by Grantor shall be subject to the rights of Beneficiary hereunder. Such assignment and grant shall continue in effect until the Obligations secured hereby are indefeasibly paid in full, the execution of this Deed of Trust constituting and evidencing the irrevocable consent of Grantor to the entry upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property by Beneficiary pursuant to such grant, whether or not foreclosure has been instituted. Neither the exercise of any rights under this Section 1.14 by Beneficiary nor the application of any Rents or other benefits to the Obligations secured hereby, shall cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant hereto or to any such notice, but shall be cumulative of all other rights and remedies.
(b) Additional Rights and Grantor’s Limited License. Grantor hereby further grants to Beneficiary the right (i) to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and other benefits, (ii) to dispossess by the usual summary proceedings any tenant defaulting in the payment thereof to Beneficiary, (iii) to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and (iv) to apply Rents and other benefits, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account of the Obligations secured hereby; provided, however, that Beneficiary hereby grants to Grantor a limited license (the “License”), nonexclusive with the rights of Beneficiary, to exercise and enjoy all incidences of ownership of the Leases and the Rents, including, without limitation, the right to collect, demand, sue for, attach, levy, recover and receive the Rents, so long as no Event of Default has occurred hereunder. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, the License hereby given to Grantor shall terminate and such License shall not be reinstated upon a cure of such Event of Default without Beneficiary’s specific written consent.
17
(c) Enforcement of Leases.
(i) So long as the License is in effect, Grantor shall (A) duly and punctually perform and comply with any and all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements expressed as binding on it under any Lease, (B) maintain each of the Leases in full force and effect during the term thereof, (C) appear in and defend any action or proceeding in any manner connected with any of the Leases, (D) deliver to Beneficiary execution counterparts of all Leases promptly upon Beneficiary’s request, and (E) deliver to Beneficiary such further information, and execute and deliver to Beneficiary such further assurances and assignments, with respect to the Leases as Beneficiary may from time to time request.
(ii) Without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, so long as the License is in effect, Grantor shall not (A) do or knowingly permit to be done anything to impair the value of any of the Leases, (B) accept deposits to exceed one (1) month’s rent for any one lessee, (C) collect any of the Rent more than thirty (30) days in advance of the time when the same becomes due under the terms of any Lease, (D) discount any future accruing Rent, (E) amend, modify or terminate any Lease or (F) assign or grant a security interest in or to the License or any of the Leases.
(d) Remedies. Upon or at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary, at its option and in addition to the remedies provided in Article 3 hereof, shall have the complete, continuing and absolute right, power and authority to terminate the License. Thereafter, Beneficiary shall have the exclusive right, power and authority (but not the obligation) regardless of whether a foreclosure sale of the remainder of the Mortgaged Property has occurred under this Deed of Trust, or whether Beneficiary has taken possession of the remainder of the Mortgaged Property or attempted to do any of the same (but not the obligation) to collect, demand, sue for, attach, levy, recover and receive any Rent, to give proper receipts, releases and acquittances therefor and, after deducting the expenses of collection, to apply the net proceeds thereof as a credit upon any portion of the Obligations selected by Beneficiary, notwithstanding that such portion selected may not then be due and payable or that such portion is otherwise adequately secured. Grantor hereby authorizes and directs any lessee of the Mortgaged Property to deliver any such payment to, and otherwise to attorn all other obligations under the Leases direct to, Beneficiary. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms all that Beneficiary shall do or cause to be done by virtue of this Section 1.14. No lessee shall be required to inquire into the authority of Beneficiary to collect any rent, and any lessee’s obligation to Grantor shall be absolutely discharged to the extent of its payment to Beneficiary. No action referred to in this Section 1.14 taken by Beneficiary shall constitute an election of remedy.
(e) No Obligation of Beneficiary. Neither the acceptance by Beneficiary of the assignment granted in this Section 1.14, nor the granting of any other right, power, privilege or authority in this Section 1.14 or elsewhere in the Deed of Trust, nor the exercise of any of the aforesaid, shall (i) prior to the actual taking of physical possession and operational control of the Mortgaged Property by Beneficiary, be deemed to constitute Beneficiary as a “mortgagee in possession” or (ii) at any time thereafter, obligate Beneficiary (A) to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Leases, the Rents or the remainder of the Mortgaged Property, (B) to take any action hereunder, (C) to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability with respect to any lessee of the Mortgaged
Property, (D) to assume any obligation or responsibility for any deposits which are not physically delivered to Beneficiary or (E) for any injury or damage to person or property sustained in or about the Mortgaged Property.
(f) No Merger of Estates. So long as any part of the Obligations secured hereby remain unpaid and undischarged, unless Beneficiary shall otherwise consent, the fee title to the Land and the leasehold estate in the Interests subject to the Master Leases shall not merge but rather shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates either in Grantor, Beneficiary, the lessor, or the lessee under the Master Leases or any third party by purchase or otherwise. Grantor further covenants and agrees that, in case it shall acquire the fee title, or any other estate, title or interest in the Land, the Interests or any part thereof, covered by the Master Leases, this Deed of Trust shall attach to and cover and be a lien upon such other estate so acquired, and such other estate so acquired by Grantor shall be considered as granted and released, assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged and set over unto Beneficiary and the lien hereof spread to cover such estate with the same force and effect as though specifically herein granted and released, assigned, conveyed, transferred, mortgaged, pledged and set over to Beneficiary, subject only to any liens or encumbrances then affecting such fee interest or other estate.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
REMEDIES
3.1 Acceleration. At any time on or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at its option, declare the then unpaid principal balance of the Obligations, the accrued interest and any other Obligations to be immediately due and payable, without further notice, presentment, protest, demand or action of any nature whatsoever (each of which hereby is expressly waived by Grantor), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable, time being of the essence in this Deed of Trust.
3.2 Termination of License and/or Entry on Mortgaged Property.
(a) At any time on or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary or Trustee, personally or by their agents or attorneys, may demand that Grantor shall forthwith surrender to Beneficiary the actual possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and/or terminate the License granted to Grantor in Section 1.14 hereof to receive the Rents and, to the extent permitted by law, enter and take possession of all or part of the Mortgaged Property or each and every part thereof without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, and exclude Grantor and its agents and employees and all other persons and entities and property wholly therefrom, and have all necessary access to the books, papers, records and accounts of the Grantor.
19
(b) If Grantor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof after such demand by Beneficiary, Beneficiary may obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon the Beneficiary the right to immediate possession or requiring Grantor to deliver immediate possession of the Mortgaged Property to Beneficiary, and Grantor hereby specifically covenants and agrees that Grantor shall not oppose, contest or otherwise hinder Beneficiary in any action or proceeding by Beneficiary to obtain such judgment or decree. Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary or Trustee, upon demand, all reasonable expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to Beneficiary or Trustee, their respective, its attorneys and agents and paralegals, and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, become part of the Obligations and shall be secured by the Deed of Trust.
(c) Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Beneficiary or Trustee (as applicable) may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business thereof, and exercise all rights and powers of the Grantor with respect thereto as Beneficiary shall deem best and, from time to time, at the reasonable expense of the Grantor, (i) make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and maintain the Mortgaged Property and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property, complete the construction of any Improvements and make any changes to the Improvements as it may deem desirable, (ii) insure or keep the Mortgaged Property insured, (iii) manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and exercise all the rights and powers of Grantor to the same extent as Grantor could in its own name or otherwise act with respect to the same, and (iv) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted to Beneficiary, all as Beneficiary from time to time may determine to be in its best interest. Whether or not Beneficiary or Trustee has obtained possession of the Mortgaged Property, upon the termination of the License, Beneficiary may collect, sue for and receive all the Rents and other issues, profits and revenues from the Mortgaged Property, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter. Anything in the Deed of Trust to the contrary notwithstanding, Beneficiary shall not be obligated to discharge or perform the duties of the landlord to any tenant or lessee of the Mortgaged Property or incur any liability as the result of any exercise by Beneficiary of its rights under the Deed of Trust, and Beneficiary shall be liable to account only for the Rents actually received by Beneficiary.
(d) Whether or not Beneficiary takes possession of the Mortgaged Property, at any time on or after an Event of Default, Beneficiary may make, modify, enforce, cancel or accept surrender of any Lease, remove and evict any lessee, increase or decrease Rents under any Lease, appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Mortgaged Property, and perform and discharge each and every obligation, covenant and agreement by Grantor contained in any Lease. Neither the entering upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, nor the collection of any Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall cure or waive any Event of Default theretofore or thereafter occurring, or affect any notice of an Event of Default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice. Beneficiary shall not be liable to Grantor, anyone claiming under or through Grantor, or anyone having an interest in the Mortgaged Property, by reason of anything done or left undone by
20
Beneficiary hereunder. Nothing contained in this Section 3.2 shall require Beneficiary to incur any expense or do any act. If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and/or collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Beneficiary for such purpose shall become Obligations of Grantor to Beneficiary secured by the Deed of Trust. Such amounts, together with interest at the default rate as set forth in the Securities (the “Default Rate”) and attorneys’ fees, if applicable, shall be immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding Beneficiary’s continuance in possession or receipt and application of Rents, Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in the Deed of Trust, the Indenture or by law upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Any of the actions referred to in this Section 3.2 may be taken by Beneficiary at such time as Beneficiary is so entitled, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations.
(c) In the event that all interest, deposits and principal installments and other Obligations shall be paid and all Events of Default shall be cured, and as a result thereof Beneficiary surrenders possession of the Mortgaged Property to Grantor, the same rights herein given to Beneficiary shall continue to exist if any subsequent Events of Default shall occur.
3.3 Foreclosure, Sale and Other Remedies.
(a) At any time on or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary or Trustee (as applicable), with or without entry, personally or by its or his agents or attorneys, may: (i) sell the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof at one or more public sales, either in mass or in parcels, at public venue to the highest bidder for cash at the place customary for foreclosure sales in the County, first giving notice of such sale (as prescribed by statute) in a newspaper of common circulation published in the County and delivering a copy of said notice to Grantor and any person who has filed a request for notice, by United States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered, return receipt requested, delivered to addressee only; and upon such sale, execute and deliver a deed or deeds conveying all estate, right, title and interest, claim and demand therein, and right of redemption thereof, at one or more sales as an entity or in parcels; and/or (ii) institute proceedings for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Deed of Trust; and/or (iii) upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, Beneficiary shall be entitled as a matter of strict right without notice and without regard to the sufficiency or value of any security for the Obligations secured hereby or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to appoint a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and to collect and apply the income, rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state within which the Mortgaged Property is located. Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary upon demand all expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorneys’ fees, costs and agent’s compensation incurred pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, to the extent permitted by law; and all such expenses shall be secured by this Deed of Trust; and/or (iv) take such steps to protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit or proceeding in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in this Deed of Trust, the Securities or the Indenture, or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as the Beneficiary shall elect.
(b) Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by Trustee under or by
21
virtue of this Section, Trustee, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold. Trustee is hereby appointed the true and irrevocable lawful attorney of Grantor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Mortgaged Property and rights so sold, and for that purpose the Trustee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, Grantor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney, or such substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. This power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and not subject to revocation. Nevertheless, Grantor, if so requested by Trustee, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Trustee or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the judgment of Trustee, for the purpose, and as may be designated in such request. Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this section whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Grantor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor and against any and all persons claiming in equity against Grantor and against any and all person claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Grantor.
(c) Trustee hereby lets the Mortgaged Property to Grantor until a sale is held under the foregoing provisions therefor, or until a default or defaults in any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Deed of Trust, the Securities or the Indenture upon the following terms and conditions, to-wit: Grantor and every and all persons claiming or possessing the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, by, through, or under Grantor shall pay rent therefor during said term at the rate of one cent per month, payable monthly upon demand, and shall surrender immediate peaceable possession of the Mortgaged Property (and any and every part thereof) sold under the provisions of this Deed of Trust to the purchaser thereof under such sale, without notice or demand therefor, and shall and will at once, without notice, surrender up possession of the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof in the event Beneficiary shall take charge and enter as hereinbefore provided.
3.4 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive. Beneficiary shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Indenture and available at law or equity (including specifically those granted by the Uniform Commercial Code in effect and applicable to the Mortgaged Property, the Leases, or any portion thereof); and same (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor, or others obligated under the Indenture, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them at the sole discretion of Beneficiary, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Grantor that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.
3.5 No Conditions Precedent to Exercise of Remedies. Neither Grantor nor any other person or entity hereafter obligated for payment of all or any part of, or fulfillment of all or any
22
of, the Obligations, shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of (a) the failure of Beneficiary to comply with any request of Grantor or of any other person or entity so obligated, or the failure of Beneficiary or any other person or entity to foreclose the Deed of Trust or to enforce any provisions of the Securities or the Indenture, (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the Mortgaged Property or the addition of any other property to the Mortgaged Property, (c) any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property and Beneficiary extending, renewing, rearranging or in any other way modifying the terms of the Indenture without first having obtained the consent of, given notice to or paid any consideration to Grantor or such other person or entity, and in such event, Grantor and all such other persons and entities shall continue to be liable to make payment according to the terms of any such extension or modification agreement unless expressly released and discharged, in writing, by Beneficiary, or (d) by any other act or occurrence, save and except the complete payment and the complete fulfillment of all of the Obligations.
3.6 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Beneficiary may release, regardless of consideration, any part of the Mortgaged Property or other collateral for the Obligations without in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the conveyance, lien or security interests created in or evidenced by the Indenture or the Deed of Trust or their stature as a first and prior security deed, lien or security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property or the other collateral granted under the Indenture. For payment of the Obligations, Beneficiary may resort to any security therefor held by Beneficiary in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect.
3.7 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, etc. Grantor agrees, to the full extent permitted by law, that, in case of an Event of Default on the part of Grantor hereunder, neither Grantor nor anyone claiming through or under Grantor will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any moratorium, reinstatement, forbearance, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption, insolvency or redemption laws now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or the absolute sale of the Mortgaged Property, the delivery of possession thereof immediately after such sale to the purchaser at such sale, or the exercise of any other remedy hereunder; and Grantor, for itself and all who may to any extent that it may lawfully so do, waive the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have assets subject to the security interest of the Deed of Trust marshalled upon any foreclosure or sale under the power herein granted or a sale in inverse order of alienation.
3.8 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Beneficiary or Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under the Deed of Trust by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, or in the event Beneficiary or Trustee commences advertising of the intended exercise of the sale under power provided hereunder and such proceeding or advertisement shall have been withdrawn, discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to Beneficiary, then in every such case (a) Grantor or Trustee and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions and rights, (b) all rights, powers and remedies of Beneficiary and Trustee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken, (c) each and every Event of Default declared or occurring prior or subsequent to such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment shall be and shall be deemed to be a continuing Event of Default and (d) neither the Deed of Trust, the Securities, the Indenture, nor the Obligations, shall be or shall be deemed
to have been affected by such withdrawal, discontinuance, abandonment or adverse determination; and Grantor hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or law now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the above.
3.9 Application of Proceeds. At the option of Beneficiary the proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, operation or other use of, the Mortgaged Property or the Leases shall be applied to the extent that funds are so available therefrom in the following order of priority:
(a) First, to the payment of the reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of taking possession of the Mortgaged Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the same, including, without limitation, (i) receivers’ fees, (ii) agent’s fees, (iii) court costs, (iv) attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, (v) costs of advertisements, and (vi) the payment of any and all taxes, liens, security interests or other rights, titles or interests equal or superior to the Deed of Trust;
(b) Second, to the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of the Obligations; and
(c) Third, with the surplus, if any, to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
GRANTOR SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DEFICIENCIES IN THE EVENT THE PROCEEDS ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO COVER ITEMS (a), (b) AND (c) ABOVE.
3.10 Leases.
(a) Beneficiary, at its option, is authorized to foreclose the Deed of Trust subject to the rights of any lessees of the Mortgaged Property, and the failure to make any such lessees parties to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted to be by Grantor, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Beneficiary to collect the Obligations.
(b) In the event Beneficiary shall institute judicial proceedings to foreclose the lien hereof, and shall be appointed as a trustee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, Beneficiary during such time as it shall be trustee in possession of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to an order or decree entered in such judicial proceedings, shall have, and Grantor hereby gives and grants to Beneficiary, the right, power and authority to make and enter into leases of the Mortgaged Property or the portions thereof for such rents and for such periods of occupancy and upon such conditions and provisions as such trustee in possession may deem desirable, and Grantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that the term of any such lease may extend beyond the date of any sale of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to a decree rendered in such judicial proceedings; it being the intention of Grantor that while Beneficiary is a trustee in possession of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to an order or decree entered in such judicial proceedings, Beneficiary shall be deemed to be and shall be the attorney-in-fact of Grantor for
the purpose of making and entering into leases of parts of portions of the Mortgaged Property for the rents and upon the terms, conditions and provisions deemed desirable to Beneficiary and with like effect as if such leases had been made by Grantor, as the owner in fee simple of the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of any conditions or limitations established by the Deed of Trust. The power and authority hereby given and granted by Grantor to Beneficiary shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall not be revocable by Grantor.
(c) The assignment and security interest herein granted shall not be deemed or construed to constitute Beneficiary as a trustee or mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Beneficiary to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do same, or to take any action, incur any expense or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.
(d) Beneficiary shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does it hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or under or by reason of the Deed of Trust, and Grantor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify Beneficiary for and to hold Beneficiary harmless from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or might incur under any of the Leases or under or by reason of the Deed of Trust and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against it by reason of the Deed of Trust and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against it by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Leases. Should Beneficiary incur any such liability, loss or damage under any of the Leases or under or by reason of the Deed of Trust or in the defense of any such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including all reasonable costs, reasonable expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be secured hereby, and Grantor shall reimburse Beneficiary therefor immediately upon demand.

3.13 Suits to Protect the Mortgaged Property. Beneficiary shall have the power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient (a) to prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any acts which may be unlawful or constitute an Event of Default under the Deed of Trust, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property and in the Leases and Rents arising therefrom, and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the Mortgaged Property or be prejudicial to the interest of Beneficiary.

In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Grantor, 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 for the entire amount of the Obligations at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount of the Obligations after such date.
MISCELLANEOUS
4.1 Survival of Obligations. Each and all of the Obligations shall survive the execution and delivery of the Indenture, and the consummation of the loans and financial accommodations called for therein, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 4.1 shall limit the obligations of Grantor which are to continue after indefeasible payment in full of said Obligations where so stated in this Deed of Trust.
4.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be given if given in writing (including by telecopy) addressed as provided below (or to the addressee at such other address as the addressee shall have specified by notice actually received by the addressor), and if either (a) actually delivered in fully legible form to such address or (b) in the case of a letter, five days shall have elapsed after the same shall have been deposited in the United States mails, with first-class postage prepaid and registered or certified:
4.3 No Waiver.
(a) Any failure by Beneficiary to insist, or any election by Beneficiary not to insist, upon strict performance by Grantor of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Indenture shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same or of any other term, provision or condition thereof, and Beneficiary shall have the right at any time or times thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Grantor of any and all such terms, provisions and conditions. No delay or omission by Beneficiary to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any breach or Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or Event of Default or acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy given by the Deed of Trust to Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Beneficiary. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Beneficiary to or of any breach or Event of Default by Grantor in the performance of the Obligations of Grantor shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or Event of Default in the performance of the same or any other Obligations of Grantor. 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 rights or impair any rights, powers, or remedies of Beneficiary.
(b) No act or omission by Beneficiary shall release, discharge, modify, change or otherwise affect the original liability under the Deed of Trust or any Obligations of Grantor or any obligations of any subsequent purchaser of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor, or preclude Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted (including, without limitation, Beneficiary’s right of foreclosure) in the event of any Event of Default then made or by any subsequent Event of Default or alter the security title, security interest or lien of the Deed of Trust, except as expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Beneficiary.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Beneficiary may: (i) grant forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of all or any portion of the Obligations; (ii) take other or additional security for the payment of the Obligations; (iii) waive or fail to exercise any right granted; (iv) change any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Deed of Trust; (v) consent to the filing of any map, plat or re-plat affecting the Mortgaged Property; (vi) consent to the granting of any easement or other right or subordinating the security title, security interest or lien hereof; or (viii) take or omit to take any action whatsoever with respect to the Deed of Trust, the Mortgaged Property or any document or instrument evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the Obligations; all without releasing, discharging, modifying, changing or affecting any such liability, or precluding Beneficiary from exercising any such right, power or privilege, or affecting the security title, security interest or lien of the Deed of Trust. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, Beneficiary, without notice, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or the Obligations, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing and/or discharging any liabilities, Obligations or undertakings.

4.5 Successors and Assigns. All of the terms of the Indenture shall apply to, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties thereto, their permitted successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives, and all other persons claiming by, through or under them.
4.6 Severability. If any term of this Deed of Trust, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Deed of Trust, shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
4.7 Substitute Trustee. If Trustee shall die or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or be absent from the country or shall fail or refuse to execute the same when requested by Beneficiary to do so; or if, for any reason, Beneficiary shall prefer to appoint a substitute Trustee to act instead of the Trustee named herein, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint, by recorded, written instrument, or other manner as provided by applicable law, a substitute Trustee, and, if necessary, several substitute Trustees in succession, who shall succeed to all the estate, rights, powers and duties of the original Trustee named herein. Such appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary; and if Beneficiary is a corporation and such appointment is executed in its behalf by any officer of such corporation, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation. Grantor hereby agrees, in its behalf and in behalf of its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, personal representatives and assigns, that any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any deed of conveyance given by the Trustee, with respect to the identity of Beneficiary, or with respect to the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, or with respect to the acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations secured hereby, or with respect to the request to sell, the notice of sale, the giving of notice to all debtors legally entitled thereto, the time, place, terms and manner of sale, and receipt, distribution, and application of the
money realized therefrom, or with respect to the due and proper appointment of a substitute Trustee, and, without being limited by the foregoing, with respect to any other act or thing having been duly done by the Beneficiary or by the Trustee hereunder, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that the statements or recitals state facts and are without further questions to be so accepted, and Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms every act that Trustee or any substitute Trustee hereunder may lawfully do in the Premises by virtue hereof.

4.9 Usury. No provision of the Indenture secured hereby or of this Deed of Trust, or other loan documents issued in conjunction herewith shall be deemed to require payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by the applicable law. If any excess of the interest in such respect is provided in this Deed of Trust, the Securities and the Indenture, or in any other loan documents, the provisions of this Section 4.9 shall govern and no party obligated for the Obligations secured hereby shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the amount permitted by law. If it is adjudicated that the fee or other charge related to the Obligations is interest, such fee or other charge so adjudicated to be interest shall be considered as interest for the life of the Obligations commencing from the date hereof and extending to the due date[s] of the Obligations secured hereby or any extension of such due date[s].

29
according to the laws of the State of Missouri.
4.15 Subrogation. If any or all of the proceeds of the loans and other financial accommodations made and extended under the Indenture have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness heretofore existing against the Mortgaged Property, then, to the extent of such funds so used, the Beneficiary shall be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, liens, titles and interests heretofore existing against the Mortgaged Property to secure the indebtedness so extinguished, extended or renewed, and the former rights, claims, liens, titles and interests, if any, are not waived, but rather, are continued in full force and effect in favor of Beneficiary and are merged with the lien and security interest created herein as cumulative security for the repayment and satisfaction of the Obligations.
4.16 Conflicts: Indenture or Master Leases. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust and the Indenture or in the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust, to the extent the Mortgaged Property extends to personal property of the Grantor, and the Indenture, the terms and provisions of the Indenture shall control.

30
matters pertaining to this Deed of Trust and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
(b) With respect to any of its rights and obligations as a Lender, Beneficiary shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder. The term “Holders”, “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Beneficiary in its individual capacity as a Lender. Beneficiary may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Grantor or any entity related to or affiliated with Grantor to the same context as if Beneficiary were not acting as Collateral Agent.
(c) If any item of Mortgaged Property also constitutes collateral granted to Beneficiary under any other mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Deed of Trust and the provisions of such instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, shall select which provision or provisions shall control.

Beneficiary shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Mortgaged Property), in accordance with this Deed of Trust and the Indenture. Beneficiary may resign and a successor Beneficiary may be appointed in the manner provided in the Indenture. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Beneficiary by a successor Beneficiary, that successor Beneficiary shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, and the retiring Beneficiary shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Deed of Trust. After any retiring Beneficiary’s resignation, the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Deed of Trust while it was Beneficiary.
