ARTICLE V

ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS

5.01ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS.  As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which Grantor acknowledges, Grantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all rents, issues, income, receipts, and profits from the Property, and all security deposits and other security therefor (collectively, the “Rents”), including those now due, or to become due by virtue of any Lease or other agreement for the occupancy or use of all or part of the Property, regardless of to whom the Rents are payable.  Grantor authorizes Lender or Lender’s agents to collect the Rents and directs each tenant of the Property to pay such Rents to Lender or Lender’s agents; provided, however, that prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default (as that term is defined herein), Grantor shall collect and receive all Rents as trustee for the benefit of Lender and Grantor, to apply the Rents so collected to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust as and when such sums are due and payable,with the balance, so long as no such Event of Default has occurred, to the account of Grantor.  Grantor and Lender intend that this assignment of Rents constitutes an absolute and present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only.  Subject to the foregoing, Grantor and Lender intend that Lender shall have the absolute right, power, and authority to collect the Rents.

5.02EVENT OF DEFAULT.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Property in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Lender shall immediately be entitled to possession of all the Rents specified in this Article V as the same become due and payable, including without limitation Rents then due and unpaid, and all such Rents shall immediately upon delivery of such notice be held by Grantor as trustee for the benefit of Lender only; provided, however, that the written notice by Lender to Grantor of the breach by Grantor shall contain a statement that Lender exercises its rights to such Rents.  Grantor agrees to commencing upon delivery of such written notice of an Event of Default by Lender to Grantor, that each tenant of the Property shall make such Rents payable to and pay such Rents to Lender or Lender’s agents on Lender’s written demand to each tenant therefor, delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit, without any liability on the part of any tenant to inquire further as to the existence of an Event of Default.

5.03GRANTOR’S COVENANTS.  Grantor covenants that Grantor has not executed any prior assignment of the Rents or any portion thereof, that Grantor has not performed, and will not perform, any acts and has not executed, and will not execute, any Deed of Trust which would prevent Lender from exercising its rights under this Article V and that at the time of execution of this Deed of Trust there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the Rents for more than THIRTY (30) days prior to the due dates of such Rents.  Grantor covenants that Grantor will not hereafter collect or accept payment of any Rents more than THIRTY (30) days prior to the due dates of such Rents without prior written consent of Lender, Grantor further covenants that Grantor will execute and deliver to Lender such further assignments of Rents as Lender may from time to time request.

5.04APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Property in order to perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof, including without limitation the execution, cancellation or

​

7

​

modification of Leases, the collection of Rents, the making of repairs to the Property, and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management or maintenance of the Property, all on such terms as are deemed best to protect the security of this Deed of Trust.  In the event Lender elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Grantor consents to the appointment of such receiver.  Lender or the receiver shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for so managing the Property.

5.05APPLICATION OF RENTS.  All Rents collected subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be applied first to the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the Rents, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, receiver’s fees, premiums on receiver’s bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies, taxes, assessments, and other charges on the Property, and to the costs of discharging any obligation or liability of Grantor as landlord of the Property, and then to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust.  Lender or the receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of the Property and shall be liable to account only for those Rents actually received.  Lender shall not be liable to Grantor, anyone claiming under or through Grantor or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Lender under this Article V.

5.06INSUFFICIENT RENTS.  If Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become an Indebtedness of Grantor to Lender secured by this Deed of Trust.  Unless Lender and Grantor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Lender to Grantor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Note, unless payment of such interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest non-usurious rate which may be collected from Grantor under applicable law.

5.07NO WAIVER; TERM.  Any entering upon and taking and maintaining of control of the Property by Lender or the receiver and any application of Rents as provided herein shall not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided herein.  This assignment of the Rents shall terminate at such time as this Deed of Trust ceases to secure the Indebtedness held by Lender.

6.15PROTECTION OF LENDER’S SECURITY.

(a)If Grantor fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Deed of Trust, or any action or proceeding is commenced which affects the Property or title thereto or the interest of Lender therein, including without limitation eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, Lender, at Lender’s option may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as Lender deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect Lender’s interest, including without limitation, (i) disbursement of attorneys’ fees, (ii) entry upon the Property to make repairs, and (iii) procurement of satisfactory insurance as provided herein.

(b)Any amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to this Section with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of Grantor secured by this Deed of Trust.  Unless Grantor and Lender agree to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Note unless collection from Grantor of interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest non-usurious rate which may be collected from Grantor under applicable law.  Grantor covenants and agrees that Lender shall be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other lien discharged, in whole or in part, by the Indebtedness.  Nothing contained in this Section shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action under this Deed of Trust.

6.16SUBORDINATE DEED OF TRUST.  Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, grant any lien, security interest, or other encumbrance (a “Subordinate Deed of Trust”) covering any of the Property.  If Lender consents to a Subordinate Deed of Trust or if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, any such Subordinate Deed of Trust shall contain express covenants to the effect that:

(a)The Subordinate Deed of Trust is unconditionally subordinate to this Deed of Trust;

(b)If any action (whether judicial or pursuant to a power of sale) shall be instituted to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Deed of Trust, no tenant of any of the Leases shall be named as a party defendant, and no action shall be taken that would terminate any occupancy or tenancy without the prior written consent of Lender;

(c)Rents, if collected by or for the holder of the Subordinate Deed of Trust, shall be applied first to the payment of the Indebtedness then due and expenses incurred in the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Property in such order as Lender may determine, prior to being applied to any indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Deed of Trust; and

(d)Written notice of default under the Subordinate Deed of Trust and written notice of the commencement of any action (whether judicial or pursuant to a power of sale) to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Deed of Trust shall be given to Lender with or immediately after the occurrence of any such default or commencement.

ARTICLE VII

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

The occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust. Further, the Grantor, for itself and its successors and assigns, agrees that it shall be an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust if Grantor consents to the Land being included within any special assessment/improvement district after the date of this Deed of Trust, without the Lender’s prior approval. Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its approval for inclusion of the Land in such a special district and may waive any such event of default provided that from time to time, at Lender’s request, the Borrower provides adequate security to the Lender to pay for any and all assessments, the lien of which is or will be superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust, in an amount and kind which is reasonable and acceptable to Lender in light of the amount of the anticipated or actual assessments upon the Land by such special districts.

ARTICLE VIII

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, in addition to all the remedies conferred upon Lender by law or equity, to do any or all of the following, concurrently or successively, without notice to Grantor, except to the extent required by applicable law:

(a)Declare the Indebtedness to be, and it shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived; or enter upon and take possession of the Property (or any part thereof) and do anything necessary or desirable or any part thereof, either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without regard to the adequacy of its security, in its own name, without force or with such force as is permitted by law and without notice or process or with such notice or process as is required by law unless such notice and process is waivable, in which case Grantor hereby waives such notice and process, and do anything commercially reasonable or necessary to fulfill the obligations of Grantor and to sell, manage, maintain, repair and protect the Property, and, without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Grantor hereby authorizes Lender (i) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens or security interests against the Property or as may be necessary or desirable for the clearance of title or otherwise, (ii) to execute all applications and certificates which may be required to carry out the intent and purposes hereof, (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, architects and others as Lender may deem appropriate, (iv) to make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty or other property, (v) to insure or keep the Property insured, (vi) to manage and operate the Property and exercise all the rights and powers of Grantor to the same extent as Grantor could in the name of Grantor or otherwise with respect to the same, (vii) to do any and every act which Grantor might do, including, without limitation, to enter into Leases of any portion of the Property and to enter into contracts for the sale of, and to sell and convey title to, the Property or any portion thereof and Grantor agrees to execute and deliver such contracts, deeds, Leases and other instruments as may reasonably be required by Lender or Lender’s title company to carry out the intent of this Section, (viii) to prosecute or defend any and all actions or proceedings involving the Property or any fixtures, equipment or other installations thereon, and (ix) to exclude Grantor and the representatives of Grantor from the Property or any portion thereof, and Lender shall have joint access with Grantor to the books and accounts of Grantor relating to the Property; furthermore, in connection with an exercise by Lender of the foregoing remedy:

(1)Lender and its representatives shall be entitled to the entry, possession and use contemplated herein upon demand and without the consent of any party and without any legal process or other condition precedent whatsoever; however, if Grantor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Property or any part thereof after such demand by Lender, Lender may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on Lender the right to immediate possession or requiring the delivery of immediate possession of all or part of the Property to Lender, and Grantor hereby specifically consents to the entry of such judgment or decree;

(2)Grantor acknowledges that any denial of such entry, possession and use by Lender will cause irreparable injury and damage to Lender and agrees that Lender may forthwith ▇▇▇ for any remedy to enforce the immediate enjoyment of such right, and Grantor hereby waives the posting of any bond as a condition for granting such remedy; and

(3)Grantor shall pay to Lender, upon demand, all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of obtaining such judgment or decree or of otherwise seeking to enforce its rights under this Deed of Trust; or

(4)collect and receive all the Rents of the Property, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, after deducting therefrom (A) all expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Property (including, without limitation, compensation for the services of all persons employed for such purposes), (B) the cost of all such maintenance, repairs, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions, (C) the cost of such insurance, (D) such taxes, assessments and other similar charges as Lender may determine to pay, (E) other proper charges upon the Property or any part thereof, and (F) Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses; and

bound for its payment, to the ex parte appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate all or any part of the Property and to collect and apply the Rents and other benefits thereof, and Grantor does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment, waives any and all notices of and defenses to such appointment and agrees not to oppose any application therefor by Lender, but nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Lender of any other right, remedy or privilege Lender may now have under the law to have a receiver appointed, provided, however, that, the appointment of such receiver, trustee or other appointee by virtue of any court order, statute or regulation shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Lender to receive payment of the Rents pursuant to other terms and provisions hereof.  Any such receiver shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including, without limitation, the full power to hold, develop, rent, lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use of the Property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be prudent and reasonable.  Such receivership shall, at the option of Lender, continue until full payment of all of the Indebtedness secured hereby or until title to the Property shall have passed by foreclosure sale under this Deed of Trust or by deed in lieu of foreclosure.  Lender waives to the full extent permitted by law, any express or implied requirement under common law or the laws of the State of Colorado that a receiver be appointed only ancillary to other judicial or non-judicial relief.  Grantor shall pay to Lender upon demand all of Lender’s costs and expenses, including, without limitation, receiver’s fees and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to this Section plus interest thereon accruing at the rate set forth in the Note, and all such amounts shall be additional indebtedness secured hereby; or immediately commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to specifically enforce its provisions or to collect any of the indebtedness secured hereby pursuant to the Colorado statutes in such case made and provided and sell the Property or cause the Property to be sold in accordance with the requirements and procedures provided by said statutes in a single parcel or in several parcels at the option of Lender:

(1)In the event foreclosure proceedings are instituted, all expenses incident to such proceeding, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be paid by Grantor and secured by this Deed of Trust.  The secured indebtedness and all other obligations secured by this Deed of Trust may be bid by Lender in the event of a foreclosure sale hereunder.  In the event of a judicial sale pursuant to a foreclosure decree, it is understood and agreed that Lender or its assigns may become the purchaser of the Property or any part thereof; and

(2)Lender may, by following the procedures and satisfying the requirements prescribed by applicable law, foreclose on only a portion of the Property and, in such event, said foreclosure shall not affect the lien of this Deed of Trust on the remaining portion of the Property foreclosed; or

(c)Lender may foreclose this Deed of Trust, insofar as it encumbers the Property, either by judicial action or through Trustee. It is hereby specifically agreed and understood that the Property is not agricultural real estate as defined in § 38-38-302(4), C.R.S. Should Lender elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein contained, Lender shall deposit with Trustee such receipts and evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as Trustee may require, and shall file notice with the Trustee (A) declaring that an Event of Default has occurred hereunder, (B) making its election and demand for sale in writing as provided by law, and (C) requesting that the Property be advertised for sale and sold in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado.  Upon receipt of such notice of election and demand for sale from Lender, the Trustee shall cause a copy of the same to be recorded in the clerk and recorder’s office of the county in which the Property is located, and thereupon the Trustee shall sell and dispose of the Property at public auction, public notice having been previously given of the time and place of such sale at such place authorized by law and specified in such notice in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado in some newspaper of general circulation at the time published in said county, together with such other notice, if any, as may then be required by law and shall issue, execute, and deliver a certificate of purchase, public trustee’s deed, or certificate of redemption in the manner provided by law to the party entitled thereto.  The public trustee’s deed may be in the ordinary form of conveyance. Any person, including, without limitation, Lender, may purchase at such sale and Grantor hereby covenants to warrant and defend the title to such purchaser or purchasers against claims made by or through Grantor; and

​

(d)In accordance with the provisions of Colorado statutes, Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale and from time to time thereafter, may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement or subsequently noticed sale, and without further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement; and

(e)The power of sale under this Deed of Trust shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales (or attempts to sell) as to all or any portion of the Property remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the earlier to occur of the following events: (a) all of the Property has been sold by exercise of the power of sale herein contained; and (b) all Indebtedness of Grantor to Lender has been paid in full;

​

12

​

(f)After sale of the Property, or any portion thereof, Grantor will be divested of any and all interest and claim thereto, including any interest or claim to all insurance policies, bonds, loan commitments and other intangible property covered hereby. Additionally, with respect to the Land, Improvements, Fixtures and Personalty, after a sale of all or any portion thereof, Grantor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser of the same, and said purchaser shall be entitled to immediate possession thereof, and if Grantor shall fail to vacate the Property immediately, the purchaser may and shall have the right, without further notice to Grantor, to go into any court of competent jurisdiction in any county in which the Property is located and file an action in unlawful detainer, which action shall lie against Grantor or its assigns or legal representatives, as a tenant at sufferance. This remedy is cumulative of any and all remedies the purchaser may have hereunder or otherwise; and/or

(g)Exercise any or all of the remedies of a secured party under the Code with respect to the Collateral.
