LOAN AGREEMENT
Dated as of June 29, 2017

among

Double Canyon Vineyards, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,
and
A Fine Old Building, LLC, a Washington limited liability company,
Individually and collectively, as borrower

and

American AgCredit, FLCA,
as lender

$10,000,000 Term Loan








This Loan Agreement (this “ Agreement ”), dated as of June 29, 2017, is entered into by and between by Double Canyon Vineyards, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and A Fine Old Building, LLC, a Washington limited liability company (individually and collectively, as the context may require, “ Borrower ”) and American AgCredit, FLCA (“ Lender ”) with reference to the following:

RECITALS
A.    Borrower has requested that Lender provide Borrower with a term loan in the original principal amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).
B.    Lender is willing to provide Borrower with such loan on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained the parties hereby agree as follows:
Section 1.
THE LOAN.
1.1      Advance of the Loan . On the Closing Date, Lender will make a loan to Borrower (the “ Loan ”) in the principal amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000)). Borrower’s obligations with respect to the Loan will be evidenced by a Term Loan Promissory Note dated on or about the date hereof in the principal amount of the Loan (the “ Note ”), by this Agreement, and by the other Loan Documents. No amount of the Loan that is repaid or prepaid may be reborrowed hereunder.
Section 2.
TERMS OF THE LOAN.
2.1      Maturity Date . The maturity date (the “ Maturity Date ”) for the Loan and the Note shall be July 1, 2037.
2.2      Interest Rate .
(a)      Fixed Interest Rate. The Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum of Five and 39/100 percent (5.39%), subject to increase to the Default Rate as set forth in Section 2.4.
(b)      Computation of Interest. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made by Lender on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, in each case based upon a thirty (30) day month. Each determination by Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error or bad faith.
(c)      Interest Rate Not to Exceed Maximum Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if at any time until payment in full of all of the Obligations, the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto (the “ Maximum Lawful Rate ”), then in such event and so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum





Lawful Rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Lender hereunder, is equal to the total interest which Lender would have received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this Section 2.2(c)) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date. Thereafter, the interest rate payable hereunder shall be the rate of interest set forth herein, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount which Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. In the event the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this Section 2.2(c), such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.2(c), shall make a final determination that Lender has received interest hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Lender shall to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess first to any interest due and not yet paid on the Loan, then to the outstanding principal of the Loan (without premium or penalty), and then to Fees and any other unpaid Obligations and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.
2.3      Payments .
(a)      General . Any payment to be made by Borrower under this Agreement shall be made not later than 12:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on the date of payment to the bank accounts designated by Lender for the making of payments hereunder and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such designated bank account, marked for attention as indicated, or in any other manner or any other place as may be directed, in writing, by Lender. All payments to be made to or for the account of Lender under this Agreement shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and clear of and without deduction for any taxes or amounts in consequence of taxes, including any stamp, registration or other like taxes payable on or in respect of the, and of any levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, restrictions and conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed by any governmental agency unless Borrower is compelled by law to deduct or withhold any such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees or deductions in respect of Lender. If Borrower is so compelled, Borrower will, concurrently with any such payment hereunder, pay the necessary amount to enable Lender to receive a net amount equal to the full amount which Lender would have received had no such deduction been made.
(b)      Payment of Principal and Interest . On the first day of each January, April, July, and October, commencing October 1, 2017, Borrower shall pay to Lender a principal payment in the amount of One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) and an interest payment equal to the amount of all interest accrued through the previous day.
(c)      Payment on Maturity Date . A final payment of all unpaid principal, interest and any other charges with respect to the Loan shall be due and payable, without demand, on the Maturity Date.





2.4      Default Rate . Any overdue principal of or interest with respect to the Loan, and the amount of any fees, costs, or expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay to Lender under this Agreement or any Loan Document not paid when due, shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from such due date until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. In addition, upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and continuing until such Event of Default has been cured or waived in writing by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, interest shall accrue on all Obligations at the Default Rate. The interest rate increase to the Default Rate shall take effect immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, without prior notice to Borrower.
2.5      Prepayments; Prepayment Premium .
(a)      Prepayment in Full . Borrower shall have the right at any time to voluntarily prepay the entire amount of the outstanding Loan and to terminate this Agreement upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender; provided that if Borrower shall prepay the Loan prior to the Open Prepayment Date, prepayment shall be accompanied by the applicable Prepayment Premium calculated in accordance with Section 2.5(c). Prepayment in full shall be accompanied by the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and all Fees and other remaining Obligations.
(b)      Prepayment in Part . Borrower shall have the right at any time to voluntarily prepay the Loan in part in increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) after at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender; provided that if any such prepayment is made prior to the Open Prepayment Date, prepayment shall be accompanied by the applicable Prepayment Premium calculated in accordance with Section 2.5(c). A partial prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being prepaid. Partial prepayments shall be applied to the most remote installment and shall not reduce the amount of ongoing installment payments.
(c)      Prepayment Premium . If all or any portion of the Loan is prepaid prior to the Open Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender a prepayment premium as set forth in this Section 2.5(c) (“ Prepayment Premium ”) for the benefit of Lender and any financial institution that has purchased a participation interest in the Loan (“ Participant ”). Lender shall not be obligated to accept any such prepayment unless the Prepayment Premium is paid concurrently with such prepayment. The amount of the Prepayment Premium shall be a “make-whole” amount calculated by Lender using any reasonable methodology chosen by Lender. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and basis of determination of the Prepayment Premium and Lender’s determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d)      Acknowledgements . Borrower acknowledges that the Prepayment Premium is not a penalty, does not constitute damages for Borrower’s breach of this Agreement, and does not constitute payment of unmatured interest. Instead, it is a fee payable by Borrower to Lender if any portion of the Loan is repaid prior to the Open Prepayment Date. Borrower acknowledges that Lender makes available to its borrowers a variety of interest rate options. Some of those options include prepayment premiums and some do not. Those options that included a prepayment premium were available at a lower cost than those options that did not. Borrower selected an interest rate option that included a prepayment premium and as a result obtained a lower rate of interest than





would otherwise have been available. Borrower acknowledges that the Prepayment Premium is a reasonable fee and charge of Lender and reflects a fair and reasonable return to Lender for the consideration advanced to Borrower.
2.6      Fees . Borrower shall pay to Lender such fees as may be set forth in a separate fee letter to be executed and delivered by Borrower and Lender (the “ Fee Letter ”). All fees paid hereunder shall be considered fully earned upon receipt by Lender and no portion thereof shall be refundable under any circumstances.
2.7      Farm Credit Stock . So long as any Obligations remains outstanding under the terms of this Agreement, Borrower shall maintain its ownership of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) of stock in American AgCredit, ACA or such other amount thereof as may be required by Lender in accordance with Lender’s bylaws and other governing documents and regulations.
2.8      Taxes . Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made, in accordance with this Section 2.8, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “ Taxes ”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.8) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (c) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other sales, transfer, excise, mortgage recording, or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, sale, transfer, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement any Loan Document and any other agreements and instruments contemplated thereby (hereinafter referred to as “ Other Taxes ”). Borrower shall indemnify Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.8) paid by Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto), whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date Lender makes written demand therefor. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.8 shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations.
2.9      Capital Adequacy. Borrower shall pay to Lender from time to time on written request such amounts as Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate Lender for any increased costs to Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to any law or regulation, or any interpretation, directive, or request (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of any court or governmental or





monetary authority (a) following any Regulatory Change or (b) implementing after the Closing Date any risk-based capital guideline or other capital requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any governmental authority (such compensation to include an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of Lender to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request); provided that with respect to this Section 2.9, Lender shall treat Borrower as Lender generally treats its other similarly situated borrowers. Lender will furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Lender for compensation under this Section 2.9. Determinations and allocations by Lender for purposes of this Section 2.9 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to or of capital maintained pursuant to this Section 2.9, on its costs or rate of return with respect to the Loan, and of the amounts required to compensate Lender under this Section 2.9, shall be conclusive absent manifest error or bad faith. As used in this Section 2.9, “Regulatory Change” means any change after the Closing Date in federal, state, or foreign law or regulations (including Regulation D) or the adoption or making after such date of any interpretation, directive or request applying to a class of lenders including Lender of or under any Federal, state, or foreign law or regulations (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) by any court or governmental or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof.
2.10      Use of Proceeds . The proceeds of the Loan will be used by Borrower for Borrower’s working capital needs and other corporate purposes not prohibited by this Agreement.
2.11      Records of Lender . Lender will maintain a record in which appropriate entries will be made from time to time showing the original principal thereof, the unpaid balance thereof, the interest rate thereon, the interest accrued thereon and payments in respect of principal, interest and fees. The entries made by Lender in such record shall, absent manifest error or bad faith, constitute prima facie evidence of Borrower’s obligations hereunder and thereunder and payment of principal, interest and fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by Lender to make such entries shall not affect the rights of Lender or the obligations of Borrower hereunder or thereunder.
2.12      Security for Notes . All Obligations shall be secured by one or more of a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Rents and Leases, and Fixture Filing (collectively, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Deed of Trust ”) in a form approved by Lender covering certain real and personal property in which Borrower has an interest, (any land subject to Deed of Trust being the “ Mortgaged Land ” and the Mortgaged Land, together with all personal property covered by the Deed of Trust being the “ Collateral ”). Borrower shall also execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such other agreements, instruments, financing statements and documents as are deemed necessary by Lender in order to perfect any security for any of the Obligations or otherwise effectuate the purpose of this Section 2.12.
2.13      Release of Land . As of the Closing Date, the Mortgaged Land includes 57.2 acres of land improved with an apple orchard (the “ Orchard ”). Lender agrees to release the Orchard from the lien of the applicable Deed of Trust in connection with a sale of the Orchard by Borrower to a Person that is not an affiliate of Borrower upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:





(a)      Borrower shall have delivered written notice to Lender requesting the release of the Orchard, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the purchase agreement pursuant to which the Orchard is to be sold and shall include a certification that, as of the date of such notice, no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default is in existence nor, as far as Borrower can reasonably foresee, will result from the release of the Orchard from the Mortgaged Land;
(b)      Borrower shall have obtained such approvals as are required to convey the Orchard as a separate legal lot and furnished copies of such approvals to Lender;
(c)      No Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date the Orchard is released nor shall result from such release;
(d)      Lender shall have determined that, following the release of the Orchard, the value of the remaining Mortgaged Land will equal or exceed $15,500,000; and
(e)      Borrower shall have reimbursed Lender for its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with such release.
Upon the release of the Orchard pursuant to this Section 2.13, such property shall no longer be considered Mortgaged Land hereunder.

(h)      If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or Justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.
(i)      THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY.

Exhibit 10.3




GUARANTY
This Guaranty (“ Guaranty ”), dated as of June 29, 2017, is executed by Crimson Wine Group, LTD, a Delaware corporation (“ Guarantor ”) in favor of American AgCredit, FLCA (“ Lender ”), with reference to the following facts:
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to a Loan Agreement of even date herewith by and among Double Canyon Vineyards, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and A Fine Old Building, LLC, as borrower (individually and collectively, and together with all other entities that may hereafter become obligors under the Loan Agreement, collectively, " Borrower ") and American AgCredit, FLCA, as Lender (including all annexes, exhibits and schedules thereto, and as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Loan Agreement ”), Lender has made a loan (the “ Loan ”) in the amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) to Borrower. The Loan is evidenced by the Loan Agreement and by a Term Loan Promissory Note of even date herewith in the amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), and which may be amended from time to time and certain other documents referred to the Loan Agreement as "Loan Documents."
B.      Guarantor is the owner of one hundred percent (100%) of the equity of Borrower and will derive substantial benefit from Lender’s making the Loan to Borrower. Without the support of this Guaranty from Guarantor, Borrower would not have been able to obtain the Loan in the amount and on the terms that are set forth in the Loan Agreement. Guarantor understands that Lender would not have made the Loan to Borrower without the financial support of Guarantor, that the delivery of this Guaranty to Lender is a condition precedent to the making of the Loan, and Lender is making the Loan in reliance upon this Guaranty.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lender to make the Loan, Guarantor agrees, for the benefit of Lender, as follows:
1.      Affirmation of Recitals . The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
2.      Defined Terms . All capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
3.      Certain Matters of Construction . The terms “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar impact shall refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph or subdivision. Any reference to a “Section” shall refer to the relevant Section to this Guaranty, unless specifically indicated to the contrary. Any pronoun used





shall be deemed to cover all genders. The term “including” shall not be limiting or exclusive, unless specifically indicated to the contrary. All references to statutes and related regulations shall include any amendments of same and any successor statutes and regulations.
4.      Guaranty of Guaranteed Obligations . Guarantor acknowledges that it is in Guarantor’s best interests to execute this Guaranty as Guarantor and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the advances provided by Lender to Borrower under the Loan Agreement (the obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are hereafter referred to as the “Obligations” and the obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder are hereafter referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Guarantor absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay to Lender, and its successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, on demand in lawful money of the United States of America, any and all Obligations of Borrower to Lender arising from or in connection with the Loan Documents.
5.      Independent Obligations . Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are independent of the Obligations of Borrower, any other guarantor or any other person, and Lender may enforce any of its rights hereunder independently of any other right or remedy that Lender may at any time hold with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any security or other guaranty therefor. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may bring a separate action against Guarantor without first proceeding against Borrower, any other guarantor, any other person or any security held by Lender and regardless of whether Borrower, any other guarantor or any other person is joined in any such action. Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall at all times remain effective with respect to the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, notwithstanding any limitations on the liability of Borrower to Lender contained in the Loan Agreement or elsewhere. Lender’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by any action taken by Lender until all Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and finally paid and performed.
6.      Authority to Modify Guaranteed Obligations . Guarantor acknowledges that the sum of the Guaranteed Obligations may significantly vary from time to time. Guarantor authorizes Lender, at any time and from time to time without notice and without affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder, to alter the terms of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and any security and guaranties therefor including modification of times for payment and rates of interest.
7.      Demand by Lender . In addition to the terms of this Guaranty set forth in Sections 4, 5, and 6, and in no manner imposing any limitation on such terms, it is expressly understood and agreed that, if the Obligations are declared to be or otherwise become immediately due and payable, then Guarantor shall, upon demand in writing therefor by Lender to Guarantor, immediately pay the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender. Payment by Guarantor shall be made to Lender to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, in immediately available funds, to an account designated by Lender or at any address that may be specified in writing from time to time by Lender within the continental United States. This section shall in no way affect Lender’s right to resort to any collateral that may be held by Lender (the “ Collateral ”) without demand, as provided in Section 18.2. Any payment received by Lender with respect to the Obligations shall reduce the Guaranteed Obligations by the amount of such payment.

2



8.      Guarantor Waivers . In addition to any other waivers provided in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby waives each of the following, to the fullest extent allowed by law:
8.1      Guarantor expressly waives any right it may now or in the future have to require Lender to, and Lender shall not have any liability to, first pursue or enforce against Borrower, the Collateral, or any other security, guaranty, or pledge that may now or hereafter be held by Lender for the Obligations or for the Guaranteed Obligations, or to apply such security, guaranty, or pledge to the Obligations or to the Guaranteed Obligations (except with respect to funds or proceeds thereof or received with respect thereto), or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power that Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten Guarantor’s burden, before proceeding against the Collateral. Guarantor shall remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations, notwithstanding any judgment Lender may obtain against Borrower, any other guarantor of the Obligations, or any other person, or any modification, extension, or renewal with respect thereto.
8.2      Guarantor has entered into this Guaranty based solely upon its independent knowledge of Borrower’s financial condition and Guarantor assumes full responsibility for obtaining any further information with respect to Borrower or the conduct of its business. Guarantor represents that it is now, and during the terms of this Guaranty will be, responsible for ascertaining the financial condition of Borrower. Guarantor hereby waives any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to Guarantor, and agrees that it is not relying upon nor expecting Lender to disclose to it, any fact known or hereafter known by Lender relating to the operation or condition of Borrower or its business. Guarantor knowingly accepts the full range of risk encompassed in a contract of guaranty, which risk includes the possibility that Borrower may incur indebtedness after its financial condition or its ability to pay its debts as they mature has deteriorated.
8.3      Lender shall not be under any liability to marshal any assets in favor of Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations.
8.4      Guarantor hereby waives: (i) presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceleration, dishonor, non-payment, protest, or any delay related thereto, with respect to any instruments or documents relating to the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations, except as specifically provided in Section 7; (ii) notice of any extension, modification, renewal, or amendment of any of the terms of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document relating to the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Obligations, the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Collateral; and (iv) notice of any exercise or non-exercise by Lender of any right, power, or remedy with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral, or the Guaranteed Obligations.
If Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any Loan Document giving Lender a lien upon any Collateral, either by judicial foreclosure or by nonjudicial sale or enforcement, Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Guaranty. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies under any Loan Document, including obtaining a deficiency judgment against Borrower or any other person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies,” anti-deficiency rules, or the

3



like, Guarantor hereby consents to such action by Lender and waives any claim based upon such action. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower shall not impair Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty. In the event Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any public or private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Lender but shall be credited and applied as set forth in Section 19. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Lender or any other party (including Guarantor) is the successful bidder, shall be deemed to be prima facie evidence of the fair market value of the Collateral and the amount remaining after application of such bid amount in the manner set forth in Section 19 shall be deemed to be prima facie evidence of the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Guaranty.
8.5      Until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, or contribution, and shall have no recourse with respect to the Collateral or any lien held therefor, all of which Guarantor expressly waives.
8.6      Guarantor agrees and represents that the Obligations are and shall be incurred by Borrower, and that the Guaranteed Obligations are and shall be incurred by Guarantor, for business and commercial purposes only. Guarantor agrees that any claim of Lender against Guarantor arising out of this Guaranty arises out of the conduct by Guarantor of its trade, business, or profession. Guarantor undertakes all the risks encompassed in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as they may be now or are hereafter agreed upon by Lender and Borrower. Lender, in such manner and upon such terms and at such time as it deems best, and with or without notice to Guarantor, may release, add, subordinate or substitute security for the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations.
8.7      Guarantor waives and agrees that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, or redemption laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent, or otherwise affect the performance by Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or the enforcement by Lender of this Guaranty.
8.8      A separate action or actions may be brought under this Guaranty or any of the Loan Documents and prosecuted by Lender against Guarantor whether or not an action is brought against Borrower, or whether Borrower are joined in any such action or actions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor expressly waives the benefit of any statute of limitation affecting the Obligations and expressly agrees that the running of a period of limitation on, or Lender’s delay or omission in, any action by Lender against Borrower or for the foreclosure of any lien or the enforcement of any security interest in the Collateral shall not exonerate or affect Guarantor’s liability to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligations.

4



9.      Waivers of Defenses Regarding Real Property Security .
9.1      Guarantor understands and acknowledges the following:
(a)      If Borrower defaults in the payment or performance of the Obligations and Guarantor pays to Lender all or part of the Obligations, Guarantor would, except to the extent limited or waived pursuant to Section 8.5, have a right to proceed against Borrower to the extent of the Obligations so paid by Guarantor and to have the benefit of any security held by Lender for the Obligations to the extent of the Obligations so paid by Guarantor. Such right is commonly known as the “right of subrogation.”
(b)      If Lender forecloses on Borrower’s real property by means of a trustee’s sale under a power of sale contained in a deed of trust or other security instrument, applicable statutory and decisional law, including California Code of Civil Procedure (“ CCP ”) Section 580a and 580d, might limit or prohibit both Lender and Guarantor from recovering any further payment from Borrower personally on account of the Obligations or limit such recovery. This means that Guarantor’s right to proceed against Borrower for any amounts Guarantor was required to pay under the Guaranty would then be impaired or destroyed by Lender’s election to complete a trustee’s sale of Borrower’s real property. Lender’s election to complete a trustee’s sale of Borrower’s real property could thus give Guarantor a defense to its obligations under the Guaranty, in addition to any statutory or decisional law protections against a personal judgment that benefits Guarantor directly.
(c)      If Lender forecloses on Borrower’s real property by means of a judicial foreclosure, applicable statutory and decisional law, including CCP Section 726(b), might limit the amount that both Lender and Guarantor could collect from Borrower personally, and thus such an action by Lender might give Guarantor a complete or partial defense to its obligations under the Guaranty, in addition to any statutory or decisional law protections against a personal judgment that benefits Guarantor directly.
(d)      Lender has given only a basic description above of Guarantor’s rights against Borrower, the limitation or destruction of those rights by Lender’s actions in foreclosing on Borrower’s real property, and the potential claims or defenses that Guarantor could therefore raise against Lender’s demand for payment on the Guaranty, in addition to any statutory or decisional law protections against a personal judgment that benefits Guarantor directly. Lender has advised Guarantor that the relationships of Borrower, Lender, and Guarantor under applicable real property law are complex issues such that Guarantor may wish to retain counsel to review these issues and review the obligations that Guarantor is undertaking under the Guaranty, as well as the waivers of rights that Guarantor will make pursuant to the provisions set forth below.
(e)      Lender desires the right to foreclose against Borrower’s real property either by trustee’s sale or by judicial foreclosure, as well as to pursue all Lender’s rights and remedies against Borrower and Guarantor, without giving rise to any claims or defenses by Guarantor under the Guaranty, including any defense that Lender’s foreclosure of Borrower’s real property has limited or destroyed Guarantor’s rights against Borrower. For these reasons, Lender requires Guarantor to waive its rights and defenses, as described basically above, and in the form stated below.

5



9.2      Guarantor expressly, knowingly and intentionally waives and relinquishes the following of its rights:
(a)      all rights, defenses or benefits Guarantor might have arising out of an election of foreclosure by Lender even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a Guaranteed Obligation, has, by the operation of CCP section 580d or otherwise, destroyed Guarantor’s rights as against Borrower of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, or contribution;
(b)      all rights, defenses or benefits Guarantor might have, whether directly or derivatively, under the following California statutes and decisions: CCP sections 580a, 580d, 726, 726(b), or their application in case law, including the case of Union Bank v. Gradsky ; and
(c)      all rights, defenses or benefits Guarantor might have directly under any applicable state statutory or decisional law limiting or protecting Guarantor against a personal judgment on the Guaranty after Lender’s nonjudicial foreclosure of the Borrower’s real property.
9.3      In particular, Guarantor agrees that the Guaranty will remain effective on its terms and that:
(a)      Guarantor will be required to pay in full the unpaid amount of any Obligations to Lender even if Lender forecloses on Borrower’s real property by trustee’s sale and the effect of such sale is to prevent Guarantor from taking action against Borrower to recover amounts paid by Guarantor to Lender under the Guaranty or otherwise limits or destroys Guarantor’s rights, including rights of subrogation;
(b)      Guarantor will be required to pay in full the unpaid amount of any Obligations to Lender even if Lender forecloses on Borrower’s real property by judicial foreclosure action and Guarantor’s rights against Borrower are thereby limited by the operation of applicable statutory and decisional law.
10.      Waivers of Defenses . Guarantor waives any defense based upon or arising by reason of: (a) any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other person; (b) the cessation of liability or limitation from any cause whatsoever of the Obligations or any portion thereof, other than payment in full or payment of such portion; (c) any lack of authority of any agent or other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of Borrower, or any defect in the formation of Borrower; (d) the application by Borrower of the proceeds of the Obligations or any other obligation of Borrower or Lender for purposes other than the purposes represented to, or intended or understood by Lender; (e) any act or omission by Lender that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of Borrower or any portion of the Obligations or any other obligation of Borrower to Lender by operation of law or otherwise; or (f) any modification of the Obligations or any other obligation of Borrower to Lender in any form whatsoever, including the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of the Obligations, or other change in the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon.

6



Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor waives any defenses or rights arising under California Civil Code sections 2787 through 2855, inclusive, and Sections 2899 and 3433.
11.      Reasonableness and Effect of Waivers . Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth in this Guaranty is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
12.      Continuing Guaranty . Guarantor agrees that (a) this is a continuing guaranty, (b) the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall extend to each and every extension or renewal, if any, of the Loan Documents, regardless of whether the Guaranteed Obligations may, in successive transactions, be paid, repaid, advanced, or renewed from time to time, and (c) this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full and have been completely satisfied, and shall not be impaired or affected by, or be deemed to be satisfied by, nor shall Guarantor or the Collateral be exonerated, discharged, or released by, any of the following events:
12.1      Lender’s exercise or enforcement of, or failure or delay in exercising or enforcing, legal proceedings to collect the Obligations or any power, right, or remedy with respect to any of the Obligations, the Collateral, or the Guaranteed Obligations including: (i) any action or inaction of Lender to perfect, protect, or enforce any security interest in any Collateral; (ii) any impairment or invalidity of the Collateral or any suspension of Lender’s right to enforce against Borrower any Obligations, any Guaranteed Obligations, or any security interest in or lien upon the Collateral; or (iii) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any or all of the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment to or waiver of the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any of the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations;
12.2      insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment of a receiver or trustee for all or any part of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s assets, liquidation, winding-up, or dissolution of Borrower or Guarantor;
12.3      any limitation, discharge, cessation, or partial satisfaction of the Obligations, of any Guaranteed Obligations, whether by operation of any statute, regulation, or rule of law, or otherwise, regardless of the intervention or omission of Lender or any invalidity, voidability, unenforceability, or irregularity, or future change to or amendment of, in whole or in part, the Loan Agreement, this Guaranty, any other Loan Document, or any other document evidencing any Obligations;
12.4      any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of Borrower or Guarantor; or any sale, lease, transfer, or other disposition of any or all of the assets or shares of Borrower or Guarantor;

7



12.5      any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Lender’s interest in and rights under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, including this Guaranty, or of Lender’s interest in the Obligations, the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Collateral;
12.6      any claim, defense, counterclaim, or set-off, other than (i) any defense of prior performance or (ii) any defense based on any applicable provision of the Uniform Commercial Code requiring that the Collateral be disposed of in a commercially reasonable manner, which Borrower or Guarantor may have or assert, including any defense of incapacity, disability, or lack of corporate or other authority to execute any documents relating to the Obligations, the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Collateral;
12.7      any cancellation, renunciation, or surrender of any debt instrument evidencing the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations;
12.8      Lender’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action, or inaction in any bankruptcy or reorganization case related to the Collateral, the Obligations, or the Guaranteed Obligations;
12.9      any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any surety, guarantor or pledgor; or
12.10      the fact that any of the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations may become due or payable in connection with or by reason of any agreement or transaction that may be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in whole or in part; it being agreed by Guarantor that the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be discharged.
13.      Subordination .
13.1      Guarantor hereby agrees that, until the date of termination of the Loan under the Loan Agreement (the “ Termination Date ”), all obligations and all indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor, including any and all present and future indebtedness regardless of its nature or manner of origination now or hereafter to become due and owing by Borrower to Guarantor (collectively, the “ Subordinated Indebtedness ”), are hereby subordinated and postponed (except as set forth in Section 13.3 below) and shall be inferior, in all respects, to the Obligations.
13.2      In no circumstance shall any Subordinated Indebtedness be entitled to any collateral security; provided , that in the event any such collateral security exists, Guarantor hereby agrees that any now existing or hereafter arising Lien upon any of the assets of Borrower in favor of Guarantor, whether created by contract, assignment, subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, operation of law, principles of equity or otherwise, shall be junior and inferior to, and is hereby subordinated in priority to any now existing or hereafter arising Liens in favor of Lender in and against the Collateral, regardless of the time, manner or order of creation, attachment or perfection of the respective Liens.
13.3      Except as permitted in the Loan Agreement, Guarantor hereby agrees: (i) that it shall not assert, collect, accept payment on or enforce any of the Subordinated Indebtedness

8



or take collateral or other security to secure payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness until the Termination Date; (ii) that it shall not demand payment of, accelerate the maturity of, or declare a default or event of default under the Subordinated Indebtedness until the Termination Date; (iii) that is shall not cause or permit Borrower to make or give, and Guarantor shall not receive or accept, payment in any form (whether direct or indirect, including by transfer to an Affiliate or Subsidiary of Borrower or Guarantor) on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness, make any transfers in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness without the express prior written consent of Lender (which consent may be withheld for any reason in Lender’s sole discretion), or give any collateral security for the Subordinated Indebtedness; and (iv) that any payment, transfer, or collateral security so made or given by Borrower and received or accepted by Guarantor, without the express prior written consent of Lender, shall be held in trust by Guarantor for the account of Lender, and Guarantor shall immediately turn over, in kind, any such payment to Lender for application in reduction of, or (in the case of property other than cash) as security for, the Guaranteed Obligations.
14.      Subrogation . Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until all the Obligations shall have been paid in full. If any amount is paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender, and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. If (i) Guarantor makes payment to Lender of all or any part of the Obligations and (ii) all the Obligations are paid in full, Lender shall, at Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment by Guarantor. Nothing herein limits any right of Guarantor to pay all Obligations in full and thereafter become subrogated to the position of Lender.
15.      Limit of Liability . The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under this Guaranty subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.
16.      Representations and Warranties . To induce Lender to make advances under the Loan Documents, Guarantor makes the following representations and warranties, each of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty:
16.1      Organization . Guarantor is duly formed under the laws of its formation and is in good standing in the State of California and in all jurisdictions in which it does business or the ownership of its properties requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the properties, business, results of operations or financial or other condition of Guarantor.
16.2      Relationship of Parties .

Any suspension or waiver by Lender of any of its rights or remedies under this Guaranty shall not suspend or waive any prior or subsequent right or remedy, whether of the same or of a different type.

(a)      EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO THIS HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED (OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED) IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY LENDING OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP RELATED HERETO. EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
(b)      Each of the parties hereto prefer that any dispute between them be resolved in litigation subject to the jury trial waiver set forth in Section 22.16(a) herein, but the California Supreme Court in Grafton Partners L.P. v. Superior Court has held such pre-dispute jury trial waivers are unenforceable under California law. Each of the parties hereto agree that the provisions of Section 22.16(b)-(i) shall be applicable until such pre-dispute jury trial waivers are deemed enforceable under California law or unless any dispute between them is brought before a court that is not applying California law.
(a)      Other than (i) non-judicial foreclosure of security interests in real or personal property, (ii) the appointment of a receiver or (iii) the exercise of other provisional remedies (any of which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law), any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “ Claim ”) arising out of or relating hereto will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“ CCP ”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Venue for the reference proceeding will be in the Superior Court or Federal District Court in the County or District where venue is otherwise appropriate under this Agreement (the “ Court ”).
(b)      The referee shall be a retired Judge or Justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. The referee shall be appointed to sit with all the powers provided by law. Pending appointment of the referee, the Court has power to issue temporary or provisional remedies.

16



(c)      The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.
(d)      Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding.
(e)      The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, provide all temporary or provisional remedies, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a trial, including motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision pursuant to CCP §644 and the referee’s decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court. The final judgment or order entered by the Court is fully appealable as provided by law. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.
(f)      If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or Justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.
(c)      THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED HERETO.

1.3.      Condemnation and Insurance Proceeds .

The excess of the above condemnation proceeds or insurance recoveries above the amount necessary to complete such restoration or rebuilding, if any, shall be disbursed to Grantor if Beneficiary determines, in its reasonable discretion, that its security under this Deed of Trust will not be impaired. Otherwise, such excess shall be applied as a credit upon the Obligations secured hereby.
1.4.      Taxes, Liens and Other Items .
Except as may be provided in the Loan Agreement:
A.      Grantor shall pay all taxes (including all real and personal property taxes and assessments), bonds, assessments, fees, liens, charges, fines, impositions and any and all other items which are attributable to or affect the Mortgaged Property and which may attain a priority over this Deed of Trust by making payment prior to delinquency directly to the payee thereof, unless Grantor is contesting the same and has posted reserves therefore in accordance with GAAP; and

Accordingly, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary being first had and obtained, which consent can be granted or denied in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, and except as provided in the Loan Agreement:
Grantor shall not, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, sell, convey, transfer (including any foreclosure sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure under any mortgage or deed of trust, the lien of which is junior to the lien of this Deed of Trust, whether or not Beneficiary has approved such mortgage or deed of trust) or dispose of all or any portion of the Real Property or any interest therein or any Water Rights or any interest therein.

D.      Grantor shall reimburse Beneficiary for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the review by Beneficiary of Grantor’s request for Beneficiary’s consent to any Transfer.
1.9.      Preservation and Maintenance of Mortgaged Property .

B.      Upon such revocation of Grantor’s license, Grantor shall immediately turn over to Beneficiary all of the Rents.

D.      Any Rents collected by Beneficiary may be applied by Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, against any of the Obligations whether now existing or hereafter arising. Collection

4.17.      Notice Under ORS 746.201 - WARNING .
A.      Unless Grantor provides Beneficiary with evidence of insurance coverage as required by this Deed of Trust or the Loan Agreement, Beneficiary may purchase insurance at Grantor’s expense to protect Beneficiary’s interest. If the Mortgaged Property is damaged, the coverage purchased by Beneficiary may not pay any claim made by Grantor or any claim made against Grantor. Grantor may later cancel the coverage obtained by Beneficiary by providing evidence that it has provided the insurance coverage required by this Deed of Trust.
B.      Grantor is responsible for the cost of any insurance obtained by Beneficiary. The cost of that insurance may be added to the Indebtedness. If the cost is added, the Default Rate will apply to the added amount. The effective date of coverage may be the date Grantor’s prior coverage lapsed or the date Grantor failed to provide proof of coverage.
4.18.      The coverage purchased by Beneficiary may be considerably more expensive than insurance Grantor may be able to obtain on its own and may not satisfy the need for property damage coverage or any mandatory liability insurance requirements imposed by applicable law.

(b)      in the case of a partial condemnation or other taking, Grantor shall deposit promptly with Beneficiary funds which, together with the condemnation proceeds shall be sufficient in Beneficiary’s judgment to restore what remains of the Mortgaged Property to an economically viable property;

(vii)      Beneficiary shall be satisfied that the quality of the materials and workmanship of the repair or reconstruction of the Mortgaged Property will be at least substantially equal to the quality of the materials and workmanship of the Mortgaged Property prior to such damage.
The excess of the above condemnation proceeds or insurance recoveries above the amount necessary to complete such restoration or rebuilding, if any, shall be disbursed to Grantor if Beneficiary determines, in its reasonable discretion, that its security under this Deed of Trust will not be impaired. Otherwise, such excess shall be applied as a credit upon the Obligations secured hereby.

C.      The right of Beneficiary to collect Rents as herein provided shall not be deemed to grant to Beneficiary or Trustee the right to possession of the Property, except as expressly herein provided, or to impose upon Beneficiary or Trustee the duty to produce any Rents or maintain the Property in whole or in part.
D.      Any Rents collected by Beneficiary may be applied by Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, against any of the Obligations whether now existing or hereafter arising. Collection of any Rents by Beneficiary shall not waive any other right or remedy of Beneficiary hereunder or any notice of default given hereunder or invalidate any acts done pursuant to notice.

A.      Irrespective of whether Beneficiary exercises the option to accelerate provided in Section 3.1 above, Beneficiary, in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, may enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and do all things necessary or appropriate in Beneficiary’s sole discretion in connection therewith, including making and enforcing, and if the same be subject to modification or cancellation, modifying or canceling Tenant Leases upon such terms or conditions as Beneficiary deems proper, obtaining and evicting tenants, and fixing or modifying rents, contracting for and making repairs and alterations, and doing any and all other acts which Beneficiary deems proper to protect the security hereof; and either with or without so taking possession, in its own name or in the name of Grantor, sue for or otherwise collect and receive the Rents, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, upon any of the Obligations, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine.
B.      Upon request of Beneficiary, Grantor shall assemble and make available to Beneficiary at the site of the Real Property covered hereby any of the Mortgaged Property which has been removed therefrom to the extent such assemblage and return is commercially reasonable.
C.      The entering upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, the collection of any Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure or waive any default theretofore or thereafter occurring or affect any notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such default or notice, and, notwithstanding continuance in possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof by Beneficiary, Trustee or a receiver, and the collection, receipt and application of the Rents, Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Deed of Trust or by law or in equity upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, including the right to exercise the power of sale.
D.      Any of the actions referred to in this Section 3.2 may be taken by Beneficiary irrespective of whether any notice of default or election to sell has been given hereunder and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations.
3.3.      Appointment of Receiver .
A.      Upon an Event of Default and at any time during the continuation thereof, Beneficiary may elect to seek the court appointment of a receiver to enter upon, take possession of, manage, and operate the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of a receiver hereunder.

B.      Beneficiary, from time to time before Trustee’s sale, may rescind any such notice of breach or default and of election to cause the Mortgaged Property to be sold by executing and delivering to Trustee a written notice of such rescission, which notice, when recorded shall also constitute a cancellation of any prior declaration of default and demand for sale. The exercise by Beneficiary of such right of rescission shall not constitute a waiver of any breach or default then existing or subsequently occurring, or impair the right of Beneficiary to execute and deliver to Trustee, as above provided, other declarations of default and demand for sale, and notices of breach or default, and of election to cause the Mortgaged Property to be sold to satisfy the obligations hereof, nor otherwise affect any provision, agreement, covenant or condition of this Deed of Trust, any Loan Document or any of the rights, obligations or remedies of the parties hereunder.
C.      In connection with any sale or sales hereunder, Beneficiary may elect to treat any of the Mortgaged Property which consists of a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the Real Property covered hereby or any improvements thereon without causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the sale of Real Property.

-20-






any or all of the Real Property, personal property and fixtures in any manner permitted under the Washington Commercial Code; and if the Beneficiary elects to proceed in the manner permitted under the Washington Commercial Code, the power of sale herein granted shall be exercisable with respect to all or any of the Real Property, personal property and fixtures covered hereby, as designated by Beneficiary, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to conduct any such sale of any of the Real Property, personal property and fixtures in accordance with the procedures applicable to real property.
F.      Trustee, from time to time upon the request of Beneficiary, may postpone or continue the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public declaration at the time and place last appointed for the sale or otherwise in accordance with applicable law. No other notice of the postponed sale shall be required except as required by applicable law.
G.      If the Mortgaged Property consists of several lots, parcels or items of property, Beneficiary may: (i) designate the order in which such lots, parcels or items shall be offered for sale or sold, or (ii) elect to sell such lots, parcels or items through a single sale, or through two or more successive sales, or in any other manner Beneficiary deems in its best interest.

L.      Upon any sale hereunder, Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, whereupon such purchaser or purchasers shall be let into immediate possession; and the recitals in any such deed or deeds of facts, such as default, the giving of notice of default and notice of sale, and other facts affecting the regularity or validity of such sale or disposition, shall be conclusive proof of the truth of such facts and any such deed or deeds shall be conclusive against all persons as to such facts recited therein.

(ii)      to have a receiver appointed to enforce Beneficiary’s right to enter and inspect the Mortgaged Property for Hazardous Materials.
C.      All reasonable costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Beneficiary with respect to the audits, tests, inspections, and examinations which Beneficiary may conduct, including the fees of the engineers, laboratories, contractors, consultants, and attorneys, shall be paid by Grantor.

3.9.      Remedies Cumulative .

D.      Any application of any amounts or any portion thereof held by Beneficiary at any time as additional security hereunder to any indebtedness secured hereby shall not extend or postpone the due dates of any payments due from Grantor to Beneficiary hereunder or under the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents, or change the amounts of any such payments or otherwise be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such default or notice.

(a)      in the case of damage or injury to the Mortgaged Property, Grantor shall deposit promptly with Beneficiary funds which, together with the insurance recoveries, shall be sufficient in Beneficiary’s reasonable judgment to restore and rebuild the Mortgaged Property, and
(b)      in the case of a partial condemnation or other taking, Grantor shall deposit promptly with Beneficiary funds which, together with the condemnation proceeds shall be sufficient in Beneficiary’s judgment to restore what remains of the Mortgaged Property to an economically viable property;

The plans shall not be modified in any material respect without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
(v)      Beneficiary shall also have approved all prime contractors and subcontractors, and the general contract or contracts Grantor proposes to enter into with respect to the restoration and rebuilding, which approval Beneficiary shall not unreasonably withhold or delay;

(vii)      Beneficiary shall be satisfied that the quality of the materials and workmanship of the repair or reconstruction of the Mortgaged Property will be at least substantially equal to the quality of the materials and workmanship of the Mortgaged Property prior to such damage.
The excess of the above condemnation proceeds or insurance recoveries above the amount necessary to complete such restoration or rebuilding, if any, shall be disbursed to Grantor if Beneficiary determines, in its reasonable discretion, that its security under this Deed of Trust will not be impaired. Otherwise, such excess shall be applied as a credit upon the Obligations secured hereby.
1.4.      Taxes, Liens and Other Items .
Except as may be provided in the Loan Agreement:
A.      Grantor shall pay all taxes (including all real and personal property taxes and assessments), bonds, assessments, fees, liens, charges, fines, impositions and any and all other items which are attributable to or affect the Mortgaged Property and which may attain a priority over this Deed of Trust by making payment prior to delinquency directly to the payee thereof, unless Grantor is contesting the same and has posted reserves therefore in accordance with GAAP; and
B.      Grantor shall promptly discharge any lien which has or may attain priority over this Deed of Trust.
1.5.      Leases .
A.      Grantor represents and warrants that leases, licenses, contracts for hire or rental agreements pertaining to the use or occupancy of any of the Mortgaged Property entered into at any time by Grantor or any predecessor to Grantor, as landlord or lessor, and any other party, as tenant or lessee (“ Tenant Leases ”), if any, (i) are in full force and effect, are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, and are not in default; (ii) have not been paid by any lessee more than one (1) month in advance; and (iii) have not been transferred or assigned by the lessor.

1.6.      Rents .
A.      All of the rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income and other benefits of the Mortgaged Property, arising from the use or enjoyment of all or any portion thereof or services provided in connection therewith, or from any Tenant Lease or agreement pertaining thereto, whether now due, past due, or to become due, and including all prepaid rents and security deposits (the “ Rents ”), are hereby absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigned, transferred, conveyed and set over to Beneficiary to be applied by Beneficiary in payment of the principal and interest and all other sums payable on the Obligations, and of all other sums payable under this Deed of Trust.
B.      Grantor agrees and stipulates that the absolute, present, and unconditional assignment of the Rents herein to Beneficiary perfects Beneficiary’s interest in the Rents and that no further act by Beneficiary is needed to perfect Beneficiary’s interest in the Rents.
C.      Beneficiary shall not, for any purpose or under any circumstance, be deemed to be a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof, unless and until Beneficiary, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession thereof.
D.      Without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, Grantor shall not take action that might impair Beneficiary’s rights and interest with respect to the Rents. A default by Grantor in the performance of any covenant in any Tenant Lease assigned to Beneficiary, by reason of which default the tenant has the right to cancel such Tenant Lease or to claim any diminution of or offset against future rents, shall, at the option of Beneficiary, constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
E.      Any Tenant Leases entered into by Grantor after the Closing Date shall contain a provision satisfactory to Beneficiary that in the event of the exercise of the private power of sale or a judicial foreclosure hereunder, such Tenant Lease, at the sole and exclusive option of the purchaser at such sale, shall not be terminated and the tenant thereunder shall attorn to such purchaser and, if requested to do so, shall enter into a new Tenant Lease for the balance of the term of such Tenant Lease then remaining upon the same terms and conditions.

Grantor agrees to execute and deliver financing and continuation statements covering said property from time to time and in such form as Beneficiary may require to perfect and continue the perfection of Beneficiary’s lien or security interest with respect to said property. Grantor shall pay all costs of filing such statements and renewals and releases thereof and shall pay

E.      In exercising any of said remedies, Beneficiary may proceed against the items of Real Property and any items of personal property specified above as part of the Mortgaged Property separately or together and in any order whatsoever, without in any way affecting the availability of Beneficiary’s rights or remedies under the Washington Commercial Code or of the other remedies provided in this Deed of Trust, in the Loan Agreement, or by law.
F.      Grantor warrants and agrees that on the date hereof and except as disclosed in the Loan Agreement there is no financing statement covering any such property, or any part thereof, on file in any public office and agrees that all or such portion of any such property now or hereafter subject to this Deed of Trust is, and shall be kept (except with the prior written consent of Beneficiary, or as otherwise permitted in the Loan Agreement) free from any other lien, security interest or encumbrance.

E.      No provision of this Deed of Trust shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party’s having or being deemed to have structured, drafted or dictated such provision.
4.10.      Consent; Delegation to Sub-Agents .
The granting or withholding of consent by Beneficiary to any transaction as required by the terms hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to require consent to future or successive transactions.

4.14.      No Merger .
There shall be no merger of the lien created by this Deed of Trust with the fee estate in the Mortgaged Property, or any interest therein or portion thereof, by reason of the fact that the same person or entity may own or hold (a) the lien created by this Deed of Trust or any interest therein and (b) the fee estate in the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein or portion thereof; and no merger shall occur unless and until Beneficiary and Trustee shall join in a written instrument effecting such merger and shall duly record the same.
