Summary
The Town of Vinton, in partnership with the Roanoke County Economic Development Authority,

period, which is intended to incentivize the redevelopment of the Gish Mill property for the benefit
of encouraging the mixed-use commercial, residential and retail development. The original
agreement was valued up to $1,378,750.
Funding to support the additional $548,750 in incentives are being met by allowing for an
additional $80,000 in meals tax collections over the Ten Year Performance and utilizing IRF Loan
proceeds ($468,750 + 2.5% interest) that will be returned to the Town by the Company.
The Amended Financial Terms of the Agreement include:
• A single lump sum payment at closing for public infrastructure, gateway, parking
improvements, and related capital investment tasks in the amount of $398,750
• Reimbursement of Utility Connection and System Development Fees paid to the Western
Virginia Water Authority by the company, not to exceed $40,000.

documents; provided, however, the Town shall bear the expense of recording.
Terms of the IRF Loan are subject to the IRF Loan Agreement and the IRF Loan
Promissory Note among the Town, the Authority and the Company. In the event the
Company defaults on its obligations under the IRF Loan Agreement and/or the IRF Loan
Promissory Note, the Authority will, in consultation with the Town, give notice to the
Company of its repayment obligations. In the event that the Company is unwilling or
unable to repay its obligations and upon request of the Authority, the Town will provide

Agreement in accordance with Section 3 thereof. Further, the Town agrees to reimburse

enforce the Restriction Agreement.

on behalf of the Authority under either of the preceding paragraphs shall be for the
Company’s account, and the Company shall pay such amount to the Town upon written
demand. The Company shall indemnify and hold the Town harmless for all such
amounts.
Any material breach of the IRF Loan Agreement, the IRF Loan Promissory Note,
the Restriction Agreement, and/or the IRF Loan Deed of Trust will constitute a material
breach of this Agreement.
Nothing herein will limit the Town’s or Authority’s ability to enforce all other
available rights and remedies it may have at law or in equity in the event the Company
defaults on any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, including
without limitation the right to foreclose on the IRF Loan Deed of Trust.
VII. Reporting.
The Company shall annually provide, at the Company’s expense, detailed
verification reasonably satisfactory to the Town and the Authority of the Company’s
progress on the Targets. For the purposes of verifying the accuracy of reports, and for no
other purpose, the Company hereby waives its protections under Section 58.1-3 of the
Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, and authorizes the Commissioner of the Revenue
{00488423.DOCX } 11
for Roanoke County, Virginia, to provide verification to the Town and the Authority from
her records; provided, however, that such disclosure shall not waive the protections of §
58.1-3 as to any other person, nor authorize the Town or the Authority to disclose such
information to any other person. The Company will be solely responsible for obtaining
and providing detailed verification reasonably satisfactory to the Town and the Authority
of Capital Investment made by Tenants to be credited towards the Company’s Capital
Investment obligation and New Jobs created and Maintained by Tenants to be credited
towards the Company’s New Jobs obligation
VIII. Repayment; Forfeiture.
The Company will forfeit future annual Local Grant payments and installments
under the Construction Loan if it fails to achieve and Maintain the required number of New
Jobs from the Job Creation Performance Date through the Job Maintenance Performance
Date. The Company’s failure to Maintain the required number of New Jobs shall not
require the repayment of any prior Local Grant payments; however, it will require the
repayment of a percentage of prior Construction Loan installments as provided in Section
V. The Company’s failure to collect and remit to the Town a minimum of $48,000 in Meals
Tax Revenue annually will result in an equal reduction in the amount of annual
Construction Loan payments.
IX. Notices.
Any notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given
in writing, and shall be deemed to be received upon receipt or refusal after mailing of
same in the United States by First-Class U.S. Mail, certified, postage prepaid, or by

and, subject to the restrictions on assignment herein contained, their respective
successors and assigns.
Assignment of Agreement. Any obligation under this Agreement may be assigned

be set forth in such consents. Any such assignment, however, shall not relieve the
Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement.

LOAN AGREEMENT AMONG THE TOWN OF VINTON, VIRGINIA,
THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF ROANOKE COUNTY,
VIRGINIA, AND GISH MILL DAVII, LLC
FOR CONSTRUCTION LOAN FUNDS
This Loan Agreement for Construction Loan Funds (“Agreement”) is made and entered
into this _____ day of October, 2022, by and among Gish Mill Davii, LLC. (“Borrower”), the
Town of Vinton, Virginia (“Town”) and the Economic Development Authority of Roanoke
County, Virginia (“EDA”).
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Town finds that Borrower’s redevelopment of the Gish Mill Property
located within the Town of Vinton, Virginia will result in significant capital investment in the
Town, the creation and maintenance of a significant number of new jobs in the Town, and
otherwise will contribute to the economic development of the Town; and
WHEREAS, to assist Borrower with this economic development project, Town shall
grant certain funds to the EDA and the EDA shall loan those funds to Gish Mill Davii, LLC for
construction costs related to the Gish Mill Redevelopment Project which will rehabilitate the
historic structure and, among other objectives, generate capital investment and create new jobs
within the Town (“Construction Loan”); and
WHEREAS, the Borrower may use the Construction Loan proceeds to renovate and
remodel existing buildings and improve the surrounding property for the Gish Mill
Redevelopment Project; and
WHEREAS, the Borrower shall repay the Construction Loan to the EDA in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the EDA shall transfer all repaid loan funds
to the Town.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises contained
herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. The Town shall grant to the EDA, in installments, the amount of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) to be used by the EDA exclusively for the Construction Loan to Borrower
under this Agreement.
{00488422.DOCX } 2
2. The EDA shall loan to Borrower, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the
Performance Agreement among the Town, the EDA and the Borrower dated October __, 2022
(“Performance Agreement”), the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.000) to be used
by the Borrower exclusively for construction of the Gish Mill Redevelopment Project. The
EDA will administer the loan. The EDA will advance loan proceeds to Borrower only in
accordance with the schedule and subject to the requirements contained in the Performance
Agreement.
3. If Borrower achieves and maintains all economic development targets required under
the Performance Agreement during the ten (10) year period immediately following the Opening
Date (as defined in the Performance Agreement), then the EDA, on its behalf and on behalf of
the Town, will forgive the amount of the loan under this Agreement. If Borrower achieves and
maintains some of the economic development targets required under the Performance
Agreement during the ten (10) year period immediately following the Opening Date, then the
EDA, on its behalf and on behalf of the Town, will forgive only that portion of the loan as
calculated in accordance with the methodology contained in the Performance Agreement. For

satisfactory to Lender.
Breach of Other Agreement. Any breach by Grantor or Borrower under the terms of any
other agreement between Grantor or Borrower and Lender or Town that is not remedied within
any grace period provided therein, including without limitation the Related Documents or any
other agreement concerning any indebtedness or other obligation of Grantor or Borrower to
Lender or Town, whether existing now or later.
Insecurity. Lender in good faith deems itself insecure.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Trustee or
Lender, at its option, may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies, in
addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law:
Accelerate Indebtedness. Lender shall have the right at its option to declare the entire
Indebtedness immediately due and payable, including any prepayment penalty, which Borrower
would be required to pay. This right is in addition to all other rights given to holders of any
promissory note under Title 55.1 of the Code of Virginia.
Foreclosure. With respect to all or any part of the Real Property, the Trustee shall have
the right to foreclose by notice and sale, and Lender shall have the right to foreclose by judicial
foreclosure, in either case in accordance with and to the full extent provided by applicable law.
The proceeds of sale shall be applied by Trustee as follows: (a) first, to pay all proper advertising
expenses, auctioneer's allowance, the expenses, if any, required to correct any irregularity in the
title, premium for Trustee's bond, auditor's fee, attorneys' fees, and all other expenses of sale
incurred in or about the protection and execution of this Deed of Trust, and all moneys advanced
for taxes, assessments, insurance and with interest thereon at the rate provided in the Note, and
all taxes and assessments due upon the Property at time of sale, and to retain as compensation a
commission of five percent (5%) on the amount of the sale or sales; (b) second, to pay the whole
amount then remaining unpaid on the Indebtedness; (c) third, to pay liens of record against the
{00488340.DOC } 8
Property according to their priority of lien and to the extent that funds remaining in Trustee's
hands are available; and (d) last, to pay the remainder of the proceeds, if any, to Grantor,
Grantor's heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns upon the delivery and surrender to
the purchaser of possession of the Property, less costs and expenses of obtaining possession.
Collect Rents. Lender shall have the right, without notice to Grantor or Borrower, to take
possession of and manage the Property and collect the Rents, including amounts past due and
unpaid, and apply the net proceeds, over and above Lender's costs, against the Indebtedness. In
furtherance of this right, Lender may require any tenant or other user of the Property to make
payments of rent or use fees directly to Lender. If the Rents are collected by Lender, then
Grantor irrevocably designates Lender as Grantor's attorney-in-fact to endorse instruments
received in payment thereof in the name of Grantor and to negotiate the same and collect the
proceeds. Payments by tenants or other users to Lender in response to Lender's demand shall
satisfy the obligations for which the payments are made, whether or not any proper grounds for
the demand existed. Lender may exercise its rights under this subparagraph either in person, by
agent, or through a receiver.
Appoint Receiver. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take
possession of all or any part of the Property, with the power to protect and preserve the Property,
to operate the Property preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect Rents from the Property and
apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the Indebtedness.
Other Remedies. Trustee or Lender shall have any other right or remedy provided in this
Deed of Trust, the Note, the Related Documents, or at law or in equity.
Waiver; Election of Remedies. A waiver by any party of a breach of a provision of this
Deed of Trust shall not constitute a waiver or prejudice the party's rights otherwise to demand
strict compliance with that provision or any other provision. Election by Lender to pursue any
remedy provided in this Deed of Trust, Note, in any Related Document, or provided by law shall
not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action
to perform an obligation of Grantor or Borrower under this Deed of Trust after failure of Grantor
or Borrower to perform shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise any of
its remedies.
Attorneys' Fees; Expenses. If Lender institutes any suit or action to enforce any of the
terms of this Deed of Trust, Lender shall be entitled to recover such sum as the court may
adjudge reasonable as attorneys' fees at trial and on any appeal. Whether or not any court action
is involved, all reasonable expenses incurred by Lender which in Lender's opinion are necessary
at any time for the protection of its interest or the enforcement of its rights shall become a part of
the Indebtedness payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Notes’ rate from the date of
expenditure until repaid.
Rights of Trustee. Trustee shall have all of the rights and duties of Lender as set forth in
this section. Any Trustee may act alone.
Successor Trustee. Lender, at Lender's option, at any time hereafter and without prior
notice and without specifying any reason, may from time to time appoint a successor Trustee to
any Trustee appointed hereunder. The successor trustee shall succeed to all the title, power and
duties conferred upon the Trustee in this Deed of Trust and by applicable law.
{00488340.DOC } 9
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Amendments. This Deed of Trust, together with the Related Documents, constitutes the
entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in this Deed of Trust.
No alteration or amendment to this Deed of Trust shall be effective unless given in writing and
signed by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.
Applicable Law. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by, construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Deed of Trust are for convenience purposes
only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Deed of Trust.
Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Deed of
Trust to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of this Deed of
Trust in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations stated in this Deed of Trust on transfer
of Grantor's interest, this Deed of Trust shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties, their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. If ownership of the Property
becomes vested in a person other than the Grantor, Lender, without notice to Grantor, may deal
with Grantor's successors with reference to this Deed of Trust and the Indebtedness by way of
forbearance or extension without releasing Grantor from the obligations of this Deed of Trust or
liability under the Indebtedness.
Waivers and Consents. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Deed of Trust (or under the Related Documents) unless such waiver is in writing and signed by
Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a
waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by any party of a provision of this Deed of Trust
shall not constitute a waiver of or prejudice the party's right otherwise to demand strict
compliance with that provision or any other provision. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any
course of dealing between Lender and Grantor or Borrower, shall constitute a waiver of any of
Lender's rights or any of Grantor or Borrower's obligations as to any future transactions.
Whenever consent by Lender is required in this Deed of Trust, the granting of such consent by
Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where
such consent is required.
Waiver of Homestead Exemption. Grantor waives the benefit of Grantor's homestead
exemption as to this obligation.

THIS INSTRUMENT CONTAINS A CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT PROVISION
WHICH CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF IMPORTANT RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE AS

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned GISH MILL DAVII, LLC., a Virginia limited

Authority of Roanoke County, Virginia, its successors and/or assigns (“Lender”), without offset,
at Lender’s office, currently located at 5204 Bernard Dr., SW, Roanoke, Virginia, VA 24018, or
at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate, the principal sum of ONE
MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) and all other sums which may be owing to Lender by
Borrower pursuant to this promissory note (this “Note”). The following terms shall apply to this
Note.
1. REPAYMENT; MATURITY DATE.
Interest: Interest on the unpaid balance of this Note shall accrue at a fixed rate of zero
percent (0%) per year, from the date of the first installment on the Loan until the
twentieth (20th) anniversary of the Opening Date (as defined in the Performance
Agreement). Interest on the unpaid balance of this Note shall accrue at a fixed rate of
two and one half percent (2.5%) per year, beginning on the first day following the
twentieth (20th) anniversary of the Opening Date.
Forgiveness: Lender shall forgive the unpaid balance of this Note if Borrower achieves
and maintains all economic development targets required under the Performance
Agreement during the ten (10) year period immediately following the Opening Date. If
the Borrower achieves and maintains some of the economic development targets required
under the Performance Agreement during the ten (10) year period immediately following
the Opening Date, then Lender will forgive a portion of the unpaid balance in accordance
with the terms of the Performance Agreement.
Repayment: If not forgiven under the preceding section, the indebtedness evidenced by
this Note shall be paid by Borrower to Lender as follows:
The term of the loan will be for 30 years, with no payments required during the initial 20
years following the Opening Date. Beginning on the first day of the month following the
twentieth (20th) anniversary of the Opening Date, Borrower will commence repaying the
principal, all accrued interest, and all other amounts due under this Note in (120) equal
{00488424.DOCX } 2
monthly installments. Each installment will be payable on the 1st day of each month for
120 consecutive months. The entire principal balance and all accrued, unpaid interest
thereon, if any, and all other amounts due under this Note shall be due and payable no
later than the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Opening Date (the “Maturity Date”).
Daily interest between the accruing between twentieth (20th) anniversary of the Opening
Date and the first day of the month following twentieth (20th) anniversary of the Opening
Date shall be calculated at a rate of 2.5% per year and included in the Borrower’s accrued
interest payment obligation.
2. LATE PAYMENT CHARGE. If any payment due hereunder is not received by
Lender within seven (7) days after the due date, Borrower shall pay a late payment charge
equal to five percent (5%) of the amount then due.
3. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments made pursuant to this Note shall be
applied first to late payment charges or other sums owed to Lender, next to accrued
interest, and then to principal, or in such other order or proportion as Lender, in Lender’s
sole and absolute discretion, may elect from time to time.
4. PREPAYMENT. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time or
from time to time without premium or additional interest.
5. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Any one of the following events shall constitute an “Event of
Default” under this Note:
a. If any payment on this Note, or if any payment on any other present or future debt or
obligation of Borrower, or any maker, endorser or guarantor of this Note or such
other debt or obligation (each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”), to Lender, is
not paid when due.
b. If Borrower, or any Party, defaults or breaches any term, covenant, representation,
warranty, or provision of this Note or defaults or breaches any term, covenant,
representation, warranty, or provision of any other agreement or document made by
Borrower or any other Party for the benefit of Lender or the Town of Vinton, Virginia
(“Town”), including without limitation the Construction Loan Agreement dated as of

amended from time to time, the “Loan Documents”), or any other instrument or
agreement delivered to Lender or Town in connection with this or any other
transaction with Lender or Town, or if Borrower, or any Party, makes a materially
false or misleading statement to Lender or Town.
c. If any of the Security (as hereinafter defined) is lost, abandoned, destroyed, severely
damaged, involved in legal proceeding, sold or transferred except as permitted by
prior written agreement with Lender.
{00488424.DOCX } 3
d. If any Borrower, or any Party, dies, dissolves, merges, consolidates, ceases to be a
going concern, or there is a change in the ownership in Borrower or any Party of
more than twenty percent (20%).
e. If a petition or complaint under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other law seeking
reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other relief is filed by or against Borrower,
or any party, or if Borrower, or any Party, becomes unable or admits an inability to
pay its debts as they become due.
f. If any property of Borrower, or any Party, is seized, attached or levied on, or if a
receiver or custodian is appointed for Borrower or any Party.
g. If Lender believes in good faith that (i) the prospect of payment or performance
hereunder is impaired (ii) any of the Security is insecure or (iii) a material, adverse
change has occurred in Borrower’s, or any Party’s, condition, financial or otherwise.
h. If any guaranty obtained in connection with this Note is terminated.
6. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to
accelerate and declare this Note due and payable in full upon ten (10) days’ notice to
Borrower. Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code, as well as all of the rights and remedies granted by the Loan
Documents, by other applicable law, under any document related to the loan evidenced
by this Note, or to any of the Security. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Lender shall have the right, immediately and without further action or notice, to set off
against this Note all money owed by Lender in any capacity to Borrower, and any Party,
whether or not due, and to set off against all other liabilities of Borrower and any Party,
to Lender all money owed by Lender in any capacity to Borrower and/or each or any
Party whether or not due. All rights and remedies of Lender under this Note and the
Loan Documents, under any document given to Lender in connection with this Note and
under applicable law shall be cumulative and not exclusive and may be exercised
successively or concurrently. Lender shall not by any act, delay, omission, or otherwise
be deemed to have waived any of its right or remedies and no waiver of any kind shall be
deemed to have occurred unless in writing and signed by an authorized office of Lender.
Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may raise the rate of interest
accruing on the unpaid balance due under this Note by three percent (3%) above the rate
of interest otherwise applicable until such time as such default has been cured to Lender’s
entire satisfaction, independent of whether Lender elects to accelerate the unpaid
principal balance as a result of such default.
7. INTEREST RATE AFTER JUDGMENT. If judgment is entered against Borrower on
this Note, the amount of the judgment entered (which may include principal, interest,
penalties, fees, and costs) shall bear interest at the higher of the above described default
interest rate as determined on the date of the entry of the judgment, or the legal rate of
interest then applicable to judgments in the jurisdiction in which judgment was entered.
8. EXPENSES OF COLLECTION. If this Note is referred to an attorney for collection,
whether or not judgment has been confessed or suit has been filed, Borrower shall pay all
of Lender’s costs, fees (including, without limitation, Lender’s attorneys’ fees, paralegal
{00488424.DOCX } 4
charges and expenses) and all other expenses resulting from such referral.
9. SECURITY. Borrower’s obligations under this Note are secured by the following real
property, collectively known as the Gish Mill Property:

MODIFIED IN THE EVENT OF SALE OR CONVEYANCE OF THE PROPERTY

for the lien of taxes and assessments not due and except as otherwise provided in this Deed of
Trust.
Right to Contest. Grantor may withhold payment of any tax, assessment, or claim in
connection with a good faith dispute over the obligation to pay, so long as Lender's interest in the
Property is not jeopardized. If a lien arises or is filed as a result of nonpayment, Grantor shall

Grantor has notice of the filing, secure the discharge of the lien, or if requested by Lender,

Property.
PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE
Maintenance of Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain policies of fire insurance

written in form, amounts, coverages and basis acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or
companies acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from
time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including
stipulations that coverage will not be cancelled or diminished without at least ten (10) days' prior
written notice to Lender. Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that
coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of
Grantor or any other person. Should the Real Property at any time become located in an area
designated by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood
{00488339.DOC } 6
hazard area, Grantor agrees to obtain and maintain Federal Flood Insurance to the extent such
insurance is required by Lender and is or becomes available, for the term of the loan and for the
full unpaid principal balance of the loan, or the maximum limit of coverage that is available,
whichever is less.
EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS
The following provisions concerning existing indebtedness (the "Existing Indebtedness")
are a part of this Deed of Trust.

any such security agreement without the prior written consent of Lender and the Town.

domain proceedings or by any proceeding or purchase in lieu of condemnation, Lender may at its
election require that all or any portion of the net proceeds of the award by applied to the
Indebtedness or the repair or restoration of the Property. The net proceeds of the award shall
mean the award after payment of all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees incurred by
Trustee or Lender in connection with the condemnation.
Proceedings. If any proceeding in condemnation is filed, Grantor shall promptly notify
Lender in writing, and Grantor shall promptly take such steps as may be necessary to defend the
action and obtain the award. Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Lender
shall be entitled to participate in the proceeding and to be represented in the proceeding by
counsel of its own choice, and Grantor will deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender such

Accelerate Indebtedness. Lender shall have the right at its option to declare the entire
Indebtedness immediately due and payable, including any prepayment penalty, which Borrower
would be required to pay. This right is in addition to all other rights given to holders of any
promissory note under Title 55.1 of the Code of Virginia.
Foreclosure. With respect to all or any part of the Real Property, the Trustee shall have
the right to foreclose by notice and sale, and Lender shall have the right to foreclose by judicial
foreclosure, in either case in accordance with and to the full extent provided by applicable law.
The proceeds of sale shall be applied by Trustee as follows: (a) first, to pay all proper advertising
expenses, auctioneer's allowance, the expenses, if any, required to correct any irregularity in the
title, premium for Trustee's bond, auditor's fee, attorneys' fees, and all other expenses of sale
incurred in or about the protection and execution of this Deed of Trust, and all moneys advanced
for taxes, assessments, insurance and with interest thereon at the rate provided in the Note, and
all taxes and assessments due upon the Property at time of sale, and to retain as compensation a
commission of five percent (5%) on the amount of the sale or sales; (b) second, to pay the whole
amount then remaining unpaid on the Indebtedness; (c) third, to pay liens of record against the
{00488339.DOC } 8
Property according to their priority of lien and to the extent that funds remaining in Trustee's
hands are available; and (d) last, to pay the remainder of the proceeds, if any, to Grantor,
Grantor's heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns upon the delivery and surrender to
the purchaser of possession of the Property, less costs and expenses of obtaining possession.
Collect Rents. Lender shall have the right, without notice to Grantor or Borrower, to take
possession of and manage the Property and collect the Rents, including amounts past due and
unpaid, and apply the net proceeds, over and above Lender's costs, against the Indebtedness. In
furtherance of this right, Lender may require any tenant or other user of the Property to make
payments of rent or use fees directly to Lender. If the Rents are collected by Lender, then
Grantor irrevocably designates Lender as Grantor's attorney-in-fact to endorse instruments
received in payment thereof in the name of Grantor and to negotiate the same and collect the
proceeds. Payments by tenants or other users to Lender in response to Lender's demand shall
satisfy the obligations for which the payments are made, whether or not any proper grounds for
the demand existed. Lender may exercise its rights under this subparagraph either in person, by
agent, or through a receiver.
Appoint Receiver. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take
possession of all or any part of the Property, with the power to protect and preserve the Property,
to operate the Property preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect Rents from the Property and
apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the Indebtedness.
Other Remedies. Trustee or Lender shall have any other right or remedy provided in this
Deed of Trust, the Note, the Related Documents, or at law or in equity.
Waiver; Election of Remedies. A waiver by any party of a breach of a provision of this
Deed of Trust shall not constitute a waiver or prejudice the party's rights otherwise to demand
strict compliance with that provision or any other provision. Election by Lender to pursue any
remedy provided in this Deed of Trust, Note, in any Related Document, or provided by law shall
not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action
to perform an obligation of Grantor or Borrower under this Deed of Trust after failure of Grantor
or Borrower to perform shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise any of
its remedies.
Attorneys' Fees; Expenses. If Lender institutes any suit or action to enforce any of the
terms of this Deed of Trust, Lender shall be entitled to recover such sum as the court may
adjudge reasonable as attorneys' fees at trial and on any appeal. Whether or not any court action
is involved, all reasonable expenses incurred by Lender which in Lender's opinion are necessary
at any time for the protection of its interest or the enforcement of its rights shall become a part of
the Indebtedness payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Notes’ rate from the date of
expenditure until repaid.
Rights of Trustee. Trustee shall have all of the rights and duties of Lender as set forth in
this section. Any Trustee may act alone.
Successor Trustee. Lender, at Lender's option, at any time hereafter and without prior
notice and without specifying any reason, may from time to time appoint a successor Trustee to
any Trustee appointed hereunder. The successor trustee shall succeed to all the title, power and
duties conferred upon the Trustee in this Deed of Trust and by applicable law.

Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations stated in this Deed of Trust on transfer
of Grantor's interest, this Deed of Trust shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties, their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. If ownership of the Property
becomes vested in a person other than the Grantor, Lender, without notice to Grantor, may deal
with Grantor's successors with reference to this Deed of Trust and the Indebtedness by way of
forbearance or extension without releasing Grantor from the obligations of this Deed of Trust or
liability under the Indebtedness.

compliance with that provision or any other provision. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any
course of dealing between Lender and Grantor or Borrower, shall constitute a waiver of any of
Lender's rights or any of Grantor or Borrower's obligations as to any future transactions.

Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where
