The term “Leases” shall also include all guarantees of and security for the Tenants’ performance thereunder, and all amendments, extensions, renewals or modifications thereto which are permitted hereunder. The terms “Tenant” and “Tenants” shall refer to any and all current and future tenants, including, without limitation, the Existing Tenant, under any and all Leases affecting the Property. This is a present and absolute assignment, not an assignment for security purposes only, and Beneficiary’s right to the Leases and Payments is not contingent upon, and may be exercised without possession of, the Property.

3.2.

GRANT OF LICENSE. Beneficiary confers upon Trustor a revocable license (“License”) to collect and retain the Payments as they become due and payable, until the occurrence of a Default (as hereinafter defined). Upon a Default, the License shall be automatically revoked and Beneficiary may collect and apply the Payments pursuant to the terms hereof without notice and without taking possession of the Property. All Payments thereafter collected by Trustor shall be held by Trustor as trustee under a constructive trust for the benefit of Beneficiary. Trustor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Tenants under the Leases to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by Beneficiary for the payment to Beneficiary of any rental or other sums which may at any time become due under the Leases, or for the performance of any of the Tenants’ undertakings under the Leases, and the Tenants shall have no right or duty to inquire as to whether any Default has actually occurred or is then existing. Trustor hereby relieves the Tenants from any liability to Trustor by reason of relying upon and complying with any such

notice or demand by Beneficiary. Beneficiary may apply, in its sole discretion, any Payments so collected by Beneficiary against any Secured Obligation or any other obligation of Trustor or any other person or entity, under any document or instrument related to or executed in connection with the Loan Documents, whether existing on the date hereof or hereafter arising. Collection of any Payments by Beneficiary shall not cure or waive any Default or notice of Default or invalidate any acts done pursuant to such notice. If and when no Default exists, the License shall be deemed to be re-conferred upon Trustor by Beneficiary, without any further act or deed, until the occurrence of another Default.

3.3.

COVENANTS — LEASES.

Affirmative Covenants. Trustor shall, at Trustor’s sole cost and expense:

(i)

perform all obligations of the landlord under the Leases and use reasonable efforts to enforce performance by the Tenants of all obligations of the Tenants under the Leases;

	Any such attempted action in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be null and void.

Lease Default. Trustor shall, at Trustor’s sole cost and expense, give Beneficiary prompt written notice of any Lease Default (defined below). The term “Lease Default” shall mean there shall exist (i) any “Event of Default” as defined in any Lease, or (ii) any default under a Lease by Trustor after the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, in respect of a covenant, misrepresentation, violation or other occurrence that Beneficiary, in its reasonable discretion, determines to be a material covenant, misrepresentation, violation or occurrence under such Lease.

Approval of Existing Lease. It is understood that Trustor’s execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust, together with Beneficiary’s disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan, shall constitute Beneficiary’s written consent to the terms of the Existing Lease, approval of the Tenant and an acknowledgment that the Existing Lease complies with the provisions of this Section and the other provisions of this Deed of Trust. As of the date of this Deed of Trust, the Property is subject to the Existing Lease which has been approved by Beneficiary and is the only Lease affecting the Property.

3.4.

of this Deed of Trust; provided, however, if Tenant shall fail or refuse to so execute and deliver any such estoppel certificate upon request, Trustor shall use reasonable efforts to cause such Tenant to execute and deliver such estoppel certificate, but such Tenant’s continued failure or refusal to do so, despite Trustor’s reasonable efforts, shall not constitute a default by Trustor under this Section.

3.5.

RIGHT OF SUBORDINATION. Beneficiary may at any time and from time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose unilaterally subordinate the lien of this Deed of Trust to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Trustor, any Tenant or any other person. Notice is hereby given to each Tenant under a Lease of such right to subordinate. No subordination referred to in this Section shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lienholder. Nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating this Deed of Trust to any Lease.

commercially reasonable manner and that five (5) Business Days’ prior notice of such disposition is commercially reasonable notice. Beneficiary shall have no obligation to process or prepare the Collateral for sale or other disposition.

ARTICLE 5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

5.1.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Trustor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that, to Trustor’s current actual knowledge, the following statements are true and correct as of the Effective Date:

Legal Status. Trustor is duly formed and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state(s) in which Trustor is organized. Trustor is qualified or licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which such qualification or licensing is required.

Permits. Trustor possesses all permits, franchises and licenses and all rights to all trademarks, trade names, patents and fictitious names, if any, necessary to enable Trustor to conduct the business(es) in which Trustor is now engaged in compliance with applicable law.

Authorization and Validity. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized and the Loan Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of Trustor, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, or by the application of rules of equity.

Violations. The execution, delivery and performance by Trustor of each of the Loan Documents does not violate any provision of any law or regulation, or result in any breach or default under any contract, obligation, indenture or other instrument to which Trustor is a party or by which Trustor is bound.

Litigation. Except as otherwise disclosed in that certain Disclosure Agreement Regarding Representations, Covenants and Warranties of even date herewith, executed by Trustor for the benefit of Beneficiary (the “Disclosure Agreement”), there are no

Financial Statements. The Financial Statements (as such term is defined in that certain Borrower’s Certification of even date herewith, executed by Trustor in favor of Beneficiary) of the sole member of Trustor and guarantor, ▇▇▇▇ REIT III Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Guarantor”), previously delivered by Trustor to Beneficiary: (i) are materially complete and correct; (ii) present fairly the financial condition of such party; and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

irrevocably empowers Beneficiary, in the name of Trustor, as Trustor’s true and lawful attorney in fact, to commence, appear in, defend, prosecute, adjust, compromise and settle all Claims; provided, however, Beneficiary shall not be responsible for any failure to undertake any or all of such actions regardless of the cause of the failure. All Proceeds shall, in all cases, be payable to Beneficiary, except as otherwise provided in any Lease.

Application of Proceeds; No Default. So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of Beneficiary’s receipt of the Proceeds and no Default occurs thereafter, the following provisions shall apply (subject to the rights of Tenant under any Lease):

(i)

Condemnation. If the Proceeds are the result of Claims described in clauses 6.11.a.(i) or (ii) above, or interest accrued thereon, Beneficiary shall apply the Proceeds in the following order of priority: First, to Beneficiary’s expenses in settling, prosecuting or defending the Claims; Second, to the repair or restoration of the portion of the Property, if any, not condemned or proposed for condemnation and not otherwise the subject of a claim or award; and Third, to the Secured Obligations in any order without suspending, extending or reducing any obligation of Trustor to make installment payments.

(ii)

Casualty and Other Insurance. If the Proceeds are the result of Claims described in clause 6.11.a.(iii) above or interest accrued thereon, Beneficiary shall apply the Proceeds in the following order of priority: First, to Beneficiary’s expenses in settling, prosecuting or defending the Claims; Second, to the repair or restoration of the Property; and Third, (aa) if the repair or restoration of the Property has been completed and all costs incurred in connection with the repair or restoration have been paid in full, to Trustor or (bb) in all other circumstances, to the Secured Obligations in any order without suspending, extending or reducing any obligation of Trustor to make installment payments.

(iii)

Restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 6.11.b.(i) and (ii), but subject to the rights of Tenant under any Lease, Beneficiary shall have no obligation to make any Proceeds available for the repair or restoration of all or any portion of the Property unless and until all the following conditions have been satisfied: (aa) delivery to Beneficiary of the Proceeds plus any additional amount which is needed to pay all costs of the repair or restoration (including, without limitation, taxes, financing charges, insurance and rent during the repair period); (bb) establishment of an arrangement for lien releases and disbursement of funds acceptable to Beneficiary; (cc) delivery to Beneficiary in form and content acceptable to Beneficiary of all of the following: (1) plans and specifications for the work; (2) a contract for the work, signed by a contractor acceptable to Beneficiary; (3) a cost breakdown for the work; (4) if reasonably required by Beneficiary, a payment and performance bond for the work; (5) evidence of the continuation of all Leases unless consented to in writing by Beneficiary; (6) evidence that, upon completion of the work, the size, capacity, value, and income coverage ratios for the Property will be at least as great as those which existed immediately before the damage or condemnation occurred;

Loan ▇▇. ▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇

▇▇

(7) evidence that the work can reasonably be completed on or before that date which is six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date; and (8) evidence of the satisfaction of any additional conditions that Beneficiary may reasonably establish to protect Beneficiary’s security. Trustor acknowledges that the specific conditions described above are reasonable.

Application of Proceeds; Default. If a Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of Beneficiary’s receipt of the Proceeds or if a Default occurs at any time thereafter, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s absolute discretion and regardless of any impairment of security or lack of impairment of security, but subject to applicable law governing use of the Proceeds, if any, and the rights of Tenant under any Lease, apply all or any of the Proceeds to Beneficiary’s expenses in settling, prosecuting or defending the Claims and then apply the balance to the Secured Obligations in any order without suspending, extending or reducing any obligation of Trustor to make installment payments, and may release all or any part of the Proceeds to Trustor upon any conditions Beneficiary chooses.

6.12.

IMPOUNDS. Any impounds payable by Trustor under the Loan Documents (“Impounds”) shall be deposited into one or more segregated or commingled accounts maintained by Beneficiary or its servicing agent. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, such account(s) shall not bear interest. Beneficiary shall not be a trustee, special depository or other fiduciary for Trustor with respect to such account. If no Default exists, Beneficiary shall apply all Impounds in accordance with the Loan Documents. If a Default exists, Beneficiary may apply any or all Impounds to any Secured Obligation or to cure such Default, whereupon Trustor shall promptly restore all Impounds so applied and cure all Defaults not cured by such application. The obligations of Trustor hereunder shall not be diminished by Trustor’s deposits of Impounds, except to the extent that such obligations are actually satisfied by Beneficiary’s application of such Impounds. Upon any assignment of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may assign all Impounds in its possession to Beneficiary’s assignee, whereupon Beneficiary shall be released from all liability with respect to such Impounds. Within sixty (60) days following full repayment of the Secured Obligations (other than as a consequence of foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure) or at such earlier time as Beneficiary may elect, Beneficiary shall pay to Trustor all Impounds in its possession, and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary, promptly upon receipt, all bills for taxes and insurance for which Beneficiary has required Impounds.

6.13.

DEFENSE AND NOTICE OF LOSSES, CLAIMS AND ACTIONS. Trustor shall protect, preserve and defend the Property and title to and right of possession of the Property, the security of this Deed of Trust and the rights and powers of Beneficiary hereunder at Trustor’s sole expense against all adverse claims, whether the claim: (a) is against a possessory or non-possessory interest; (b) arose prior or subsequent to the Effective Date; or (c) is senior or junior to Trustor’s or Beneficiary’s rights. Trustor shall give Beneficiary prompt notice in writing upon learning of the assertion of any claim, of the filing of any action or proceeding, of the occurrence of any damage to the Property and of any condemnation offer or action.

6.14.

Trustor agrees to use legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Beneficiary Group in any action or proceeding arising under this indemnity. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE SATISFACTION AND RELEASE OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, BUT TRUSTOR’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS INDEMNITY SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE SECTION IN THE NOTE ENTITLED “BORROWER’S LIABILITY.”

In the event of any such sale, assignment, participation or securitization, Beneficiary and the other parties to the same shall share in the rights and obligations of Beneficiary set forth in the Loan Documents as and to the extent they shall agree among themselves. In connection with any such sale, assignment, participation or securitization, Trustor further agrees that the Loan Documents shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of Trustor to each purchaser, assignee or participant, and Trustor shall, within fifteen (15) days after request by Beneficiary; (c) deliver to Beneficiary such information and documents relating to Trustor, the Property and its operation and any party connected with the Loan as Beneficiary or any rating agency may request; (d) deliver to Beneficiary an estoppel certificate for the benefit of Beneficiary and any

other party designated by Beneficiary verifying the status and terms of the Loan, in form and content satisfactory to Beneficiary; (e) enter into such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested (including, without limitation, to restructure all or any part of the Loan into two or more promissory notes in whatever proportion Beneficiary determines) in order to facilitate any such sale, assignment, participation or securitization without impairing Trustor’s rights or increasing Trustor’s obligations (and without requiring a secondary borrower or Trustor); (f) if, as a condition to the closing of the Loan, Trustor was required to be a special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity, enter into such amendments to the organizational documents of Trustor as any rating agency may request to preserve or enhance Trustor’s special-purpose bankruptcy-remote status; and (g) if, as a condition to the closing of the Loan, Trustor was required to provide Beneficiary with any nonconsolidation opinions, provide Beneficiary with such amendments and restatements of such opinions as any rating agency may request.

The indemnity obligations of Trustor under the Loan Documents shall also apply with respect to any purchaser, assignee or participant.

	6.23.		RELEASE. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, repayment in full of all principal, interest and other amounts owing under the Note), and all obligations, if any, of Beneficiary for future advances have been terminated, then, and in that event only, Beneficiary shall release, without warranty, the Property or that portion thereof then held hereunder. The recitals of any facts in any release shall be conclusively deemed true. To the extent permitted by law, the release may describe the grantee as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.” Beneficiary shall have no duty to determine the rights of persons claiming to be rightful grantees of any release. When the Property has been fully released, the last such release shall operate as a reassignment of all future rents, issues and profits of the Property to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.23, the release of the Property shall not affect (i) any other Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) the Environmental Liabilities Agreement executed by Trustor of even date herewith, or (iii) any guaranty now or hereafter executed with respect to the Loan (collectively or severally as the context thereof may suggest or require).

	6.24.		SUBROGATION. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the lien of all encumbrances, whether released of record or not, paid in whole or in part by Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust or by the proceeds of any loan secured by this Deed of Trust.

(aa) Trustor’s filing a petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended or recodified (“Bankruptcy Code”), or under any other present or future state or federal law regarding bankruptcy, reorganization or other relief to debtors (collectively, “Debtor Relief Law”); or (bb) Trustor’s filing any pleading in any involuntary proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other Debtor Relief Law which admits to the petition’s material allegations regarding Trustor’s insolvency; or (cc) Trustor’s making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (dd) Trustor’s applying for, or the appointment of, a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of Trustor or any of its property; or (ee) the filing by or on behalf of Trustor of a voluntary petition seeking the liquidation or dissolution of Trustor or the commencement of any other procedure by or on behalf of Trustor to liquidate or dissolve Trustor.

	(iii)		Involuntary Bankruptcy. Trustor’s failure to effect a full dismissal of any involuntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or other Debtor Relief Law, or any other procedure to liquidate or dissolve Trustor, that is filed against Trustor or in any way restrains or limits Trustor or Beneficiary regarding the Loan or the Property, prior to the earlier of the entry of any order granting relief sought in the involuntary petition or ninety (90) days after the date of filing of the petition.

	(i)		Beneficiary shall have the right to give such notice of such Default and of election to cause the Property to be sold as may be required by law or as may be necessary to cause the Trustee to exercise the power of sale granted herein. It shall be lawful for and the duty of Trustee, upon the request of the Beneficiary, to sell the Property at public auction for cash, after first having given such notice of hearing as to commencement of foreclosure proceedings and obtained such findings or leave of court as then may be required by law, and then, having given such notice and advertised the time and place of such sale in such manner as then may be provided by law, and upon such sale and any resale and upon compliance with the law then relating to foreclosure proceedings, to convey title to the purchaser. Trustee shall sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in the notice of sale, at one or several sales, either as a whole or in separate parcels and in such manner and order, all as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine (except as otherwise required by law), at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale; provided, however, that Beneficiary may credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations at such sale. A sale of less than the whole of the Property or any defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of sale provided for herein. Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser at such sale a deed conveying the Property or portion thereof so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals of any facts in any trustee’s deed shall be conclusively deemed true;

	(ii)		Upon sale of the Property at any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure, Beneficiary may credit bid (as determined by Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion) all or any portion of the Secured Obligations. In determining such credit bid, Beneficiary may, but is not obligated to, take into account all or any of the following: (i) appraisals of the Property as such appraisals may be discounted or adjusted by Beneficiary in its sole and absolute underwriting discretion; (ii) expenses and costs incurred by Beneficiary with respect to the Property prior to foreclosure; (iii) expenses and costs which Beneficiary anticipates will be incurred with respect to the Property after foreclosure, but prior to resale, including, without limitation, costs of structural reports and other due diligence, costs to carry the Property prior to resale, costs of resale (e.g. commissions, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and taxes), costs of any Hazardous Materials clean-up and monitoring, costs of deferred maintenance, repair, refurbishment and retrofit, costs of defending or settling litigation affecting the Property, and lost opportunity costs (if any), including the time value of money during any anticipated holding period by Beneficiary; (iv) declining trends in real property values generally and with respect to properties similar to the Property; (v) anticipated discounts upon resale of the Property as a distressed or foreclosed property; (vi) the fact of additional collateral (if any), for the Secured Obligations; and (vii) such other factors or matters that Beneficiary (in its sole and absolute discretion) deems appropriate. In regard to the above, Trustor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Beneficiary is not required to use any or all of the foregoing factors to determine the amount of its credit bid; (ii) this paragraph does not impose upon Beneficiary any additional obligations that are not imposed

by law at the time the credit bid is made; (iii) the amount of Beneficiary’s credit bid need not have any relation to any loan-to-value ratios specified in the Loan Documents or previously discussed between Trustor and Beneficiary; and (iv) Beneficiary’s credit bid may be (at Beneficiary’s sole and absolute discretion) higher or lower than any appraised value of the Property;

Multiple Foreclosures. Beneficiary shall have the right to resort to and realize upon the Property and Collateral and any other security now or later held by Beneficiary concurrently or successively and in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken non-judicial proceedings, or both and to apply the proceeds received upon the Secured Obligations all in such order and manner as Beneficiary determines in its sole discretion;

Rights to Collateral. To exercise all rights Beneficiary may have with respect to the Collateral under this Deed of Trust, the UCC or otherwise at law; and

Other Rights. To exercise such other rights as Beneficiary may have at law or in equity or pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents.

In connection with any sale or sales hereunder, Beneficiary may elect to treat any of the Property which consists of a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the Property (including, without limitation, any improvements forming a part thereof) without causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property or a fixture, as the case may be, and dispose of the same in accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the sale of the Property. Any sale of Collateral hereunder shall be conducted in any manner permitted by the UCC.

7.4.

APPLICATION OF FORECLOSURE SALE PROCEEDS. If any foreclosure sale is effected, Beneficiary shall apply the proceeds of such sale in the following order of priority: First, to the costs, fees and expenses of exercising the power of sale, including, without limitation, the payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees; Second, to the payment of the Secured Obligations which are secured by this Deed of Trust, in such order as Beneficiary shall determine in its sole discretion; and Third, to Trustor or Trustor’s successor in interest, or in the event the Property has been sold or transferred to another, to the vested owner of record at the time of judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale or to such other persons as may be entitled thereto by law.

7.5.

WAIVER OF MARSHALING RIGHTS. Trustor, for itself and for all parties claiming through or under Trustor, and for all parties who may acquire a lien on or interest in the Property or the Collateral, waives all rights to a sale in inverse order of alienation or to have the Property, the Collateral or any other security for any Secured Obligation, marshaled upon any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or on a foreclosure of any other security for any of the Secured Obligations.

7.6.

NO CURE OR WAIVER.

of any other right or remedy by Beneficiary or any receiver shall cure or waive any Default or notice of default under this Deed of Trust, or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale (unless all Secured Obligations then due have been paid or performed and Trustor has cured all other Defaults hereunder), or impair the status of the security, or prejudice Beneficiary in the exercise of any right or remedy, or be construed as an affirmation by Beneficiary of any tenancy, lease or option or a subordination of the lien of this Deed of Trust.

7.7.

PAYMENT OF COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Trustor agrees to pay to Beneficiary immediately and upon demand all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust (including, without limitation, trustee’s fees, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in litigation or not) with interest from the date of expenditure until said sums have been paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Note as specified therein.

7.8.

POWER TO FILE NOTICES AND CURE DEFAULTS. Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary and its successors and assigns, as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to perform any obligation of Trustor hereunder upon the occurrence of an event, act or omission which, with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a Default, provided, however, that: (a) Beneficiary as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as are actually received by Beneficiary; and (b) Beneficiary shall not be liable to Trustor or any other person or entity for any failure to act under this Section.

Such appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary, and as so executed, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority, valid and sufficient, without further proof of any action, and when such writing shall have been duly probated and registered, the substitute trustee named therein shall be vested with all rights or title and clothed with all power of the Trustee named herein.

7.10.

TRUSTEE LIABILITY. In no event or circumstance shall Trustee or any substitute Trustee hereunder be personally liable under or as a result of this Deed of Trust, either as a result of any action by Trustee (or any substitute Trustee) in the exercise of the powers hereby granted or otherwise.

7.11.

REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All rights and remedies of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to all rights and remedies provided by applicable law. Beneficiary may enforce any one or more remedies or rights under the Loan Documents either successively or concurrently

As used herein the term “prevailing party” shall mean the party which obtains the principal relief it has sought, whether by compromise settlement or judgment. If the party which commenced or instituted the action, suit or proceeding shall dismiss or discontinue it without the concurrence of the other party, such other party shall be deemed the prevailing party. All references to “attorneys’ fees” or to “reasonable attorneys’ fees” herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be “reasonable attorneys’ fees,” and as used herein, and in any other Loan Documents to the extent North Carolina law applies thereto, the phrase “reasonable attorneys’ fees” and similar phrases shall mean attorneys’ fees at standard hourly rates actually incurred, without giving effect to the statutory presumption set forth in Section 6-21.2 of the North Carolina General Statutes.

Trustor’s right to contest pursuant to the terms of this provision shall in no way relieve Trustor of its obligations under the Loan or to make payments to Beneficiary as and when due. The Tenant under any Lease shall also have the right to contest any Contested Matter in accordance with the terms of such Lease.

8.4.		TRUSTOR AND BENEFICIARY DEFINED.

8.16.		COUNTERPARTS. This Deed of Trust may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, will be deemed an original and all of which taken together, will be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

8.18.		NON-WAIVER. By accepting payment of any amount secured hereby after its due date or late performance of any other Secured Obligation, Beneficiary shall not waive its right against any person obligated directly or indirectly hereunder or on any Secured Obligation, either to require prompt payment or performance when due of all other sums and obligations so secured or to declare default for failure to make such prompt payment or performance.

Loan ▇▇. ▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇

▇▇

exercising any such right or remedy shall be construed to preclude Beneficiary from the exercise thereof at any time while that Default is continuing. No notice to nor demand on Trustor shall of itself entitle Trustor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

8.19.		FURTHER ASSURANCES. Trustor shall, upon demand by Trustee, execute, acknowledge (if appropriate) and deliver any and all documents and instruments and do or cause to be done all further acts reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of the Loan Documents and to perfect any assignments contained therein.

The rights, remedies and interests of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust established by Article 1 and the security agreement established by Article 4 are independent and cumulative, and there shall be no merger of any lien created by this Deed of Trust with any security interest created by the security agreement. Beneficiary may elect to exercise or enforce any of its rights, remedies or interests under either or both this Deed of Trust or the security agreement as Beneficiary may from time to time deem appropriate. The absolute assignment of rents and leases established by Article 3 is similarly independent of and separate from this Deed of Trust and the security agreement.

8.21.		MERGER. No merger shall occur as a result of Beneficiary’s acquiring any other estate in, or any other lien on, the Property unless Beneficiary consents to a merger in writing.

8.22.		CROSS-DEFAULT; CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION.

The existence of a Default under this Deed of Trust (after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods) shall be deemed and shall constitute an Automatic Default under the Other Mortgages (without any further notice and cure by Beneficiary to Trustor which is hereby specifically waived by Trustor for all purposes), and a Default under any of the Other Mortgages (after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods), shall be deemed and shall constitute an Automatic Default under this Deed of Trust and the remaining Other Mortgages (without any further notice and cure by Beneficiary to Trustor which is hereby specifically waived by Trustor for all purposes)

8.23.		SPECIAL NORTH CAROLINA STATE PROVISIONS.

	a.		State Power Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Deed of Trust to the contrary, no sale of any portion of the Property under the power of sale contained in this Deed of Trust shall occur until Beneficiary and Trustee shall have complied with the provisions of Chapter 45 of the North Carolina General Statutes related to the power of sale foreclosures, including without limitation, the requirement for notice and a hearing.

	b.		Future Advances. This Deed of Trust is given to secure not only existing Secured Obligations, but also future advances and re-advances of the obligations made within fifteen (15) years of the date of this Deed of Trust to the same extent as if such future advances are made on the date of the execution of this Deed of Trust.
