SECTION 1.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Deed of Trust is both a real
property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all
other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of
Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Deed of Trust,
Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter
defined), a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal
Property to the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal
Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the
Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the
"COLLATERAL"). If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender, in
addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may
exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted
to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession
of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender
may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral.
Upon request or demand of Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral
and make it available to Lender at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible
property) reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on
demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys'
fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral
and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any notice of
sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the
Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least
ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided
by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any
disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise
required by applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in
such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.
Borrower's (debtor's) principal place of business is as set

applicable provisions of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Property
that is or may become fixtures.
SECTION 1.5 PLEDGES OF MONIES HELD. Borrower hereby pledges to
Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of

SECTION 5.3 CHANGES IN TAX, DEBT, CREDIT AND DOCUMENTARY STAMP
LAWS. (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this
Deed of Trust which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the
purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on
the Debt or Lender's interest in the Property (other than the inclusion of such
amounts as income for income tax purposes or taxes on Lender's capital),
Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If
Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower
would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for
a defense of usury, then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not
less than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and
payable. If so accelerated, Borrower shall repay the Loan without premium or
penalty.
(b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit
or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges
assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall
otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any
part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Deed of Trust or
the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Lender
shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty
(120) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable. If so accelerated,
Borrower shall repay the Loan without premium or penalty.
(c) If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof
or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be
affixed to the Note, this Deed of Trust, or any of the other Loan Documents or
impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same, with
interest and penalties thereon, if any.
SECTION 5.4 SEVERING OF DEED OF TRUST. This Deed of Trust and the
Note shall, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the
sole election of Lender, be severed into two or more notes and two or more
security instruments in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole
discretion, each of which shall cover all or a portion of the Property to be
more particularly described therein. To that end, Borrower, upon written request
of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed,
acknowledged and delivered by the then owner of the Property, to Lender and/or
its designee or designees substitute notes and security instruments in such
principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid principal amount of
this Deed of Trust, and containing terms, provisions and clauses similar to, and
no more onerous to Borrower than, those contained herein and in the Note, and
such other documents and instruments as may be required by Lender; provided that
Borrower's obligations are not materially increased thereby.
SECTION 5.5 REPLACEMENT DOCUMENTS. Upon receipt of an affidavit of
an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the
Note or any other Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in the case
of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other
Loan Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other
Loan Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note
or other Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of
like tenor.

examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its general partners,
members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and
operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will
continue to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Property as a means of
maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and
the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has
a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that,
should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the
Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.
SECTION 6.2 NO SALE/ENCUMBRANCE. Neither Borrower nor any
Restricted Party shall Transfer the Property or any part thereof or any interest

in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations
and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, Insurance Premium and

acceptable to Lender. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action

sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days
prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to
Borrower;

to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing
Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make any payment or do any act required
of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem
necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the
Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or
proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Deed of
Trust or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including
reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as
provided in this SECTION 7.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall
be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred
by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in
appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear
interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such
cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs

by this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due
and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

SECTION 7.5 RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Lender shall have
the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether
or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right
of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for
a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was
commenced.
SECTION 7.6 EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable times
and upon reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall

Borrower which reflect upon the financial condition of the Property or of
Borrower, at the Property or at any office regularly maintained by Borrower
where the books and records are located. Lender and its agents shall have the
right to make copies and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers.
In addition, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, Lender, its agents,

books and records are located. This SECTION 7.6 shall apply throughout the term
of the Note and without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred or is
continuing.
SECTION 7.7 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender to insist
upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any term of this Deed of Trust. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower's
obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any
request of Borrower or any Guarantor or Indemnifying Person with respect to the
Loan to take any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any
of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the
release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property,

agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise
modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Deed of Trust or the
other Loan Documents.
(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is
on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value
of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to
determine whether the insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks
insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief
if any such possession is requested or obtained with respect to any Property or
collateral not in Lender's possession.
-15-
(c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other
security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion,
may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof,
or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender
thereafter to foreclose this Deed of Trust. The rights of Lender under this Deed
of Trust shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given
effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an
election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other
provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies
herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter
afforded at law or in equity.
SECTION 7.8 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. Lender
may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may
require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or
affecting the lien or priority of this Deed of Trust, or improving the position
of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that
the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary
consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by
assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender
may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This
Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining
portion of the Property.
SECTION 7.9 VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in material
compliance with Legal Requirements, Lender may impose additional requirements
upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary
reserves or financial equivalents.

to take any action hereunder except as expressly required hereunder or by law,
or to perform any act which would involve Trustee in any expense or liability or
to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, unless properly indemnified
to Trustee's reasonable satisfaction. Trustee, by acceptance of this Deed of

other provisions for substitution, by law or otherwise.

execution, and interpretation of the Note, this Deed of Trust or the Other Loan

advice of counsel, (b) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to
perform any duty hereunder either directly or through his/her agents or
attorneys, (c) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his/her
duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and
attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ
of Trustee, and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default,
negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert,
agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care,
-26-
or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be
otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except
for Trustee's gross negligence or bad faith and (d) any and all other lawful
action as Lender may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Lender's
rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by
Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee,
upon the Property for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in
the management or operation of the Property. Trustee shall have the right to
rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting an
action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee
in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for
actual expenses incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee's duties
hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of Trustee's services
hereunder as shall be rendered.

from any other moneys (except to the extent required by applicable law) and
Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by
Trustee hereunder.
SECTION 16.5 PERFECTION OF APPOINTMENT. Should any deed, conveyance,
or instrument of any nature be required from Borrower by any Trustee or
substitute trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to the
Trustee or substitute trustee such estates rights, powers, and duties, then,
upon request by the Trustee or substitute trustee, any and all such deeds,
conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered
and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Borrower.
SECTION 16.6 SUCCESSION INSTRUMENTS. Any substitute trustee
appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further
act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties,
rights, powers, and trusts of its or his/her predecessor in the rights hereunder
with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless,
upon the written request of Lender or of the substitute trustee, the Trustee
ceasing to act shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such
substitute trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates,
properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and
shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by
such Trustee to the substitute trustee so appointed in the Trustee's place.

SECTION 17.4 INSURANCE. Pursuant to ORS Section 746.201, Borrower
acknowledges the following warning from Lender:
WARNING
UNLESS YOU PROVIDE US WITH EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE AS REQUIRED BY OUR
CONTRACT OR LOAN AGREEMENT, WE MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT YOUR EXPENSE TO PROTECT
OUR INTEREST. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, ALSO PROTECT YOUR INTEREST. IF
THE COLLATERAL BECOMES DAMAGED, THE COVERAGE WE PURCHASE MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM
YOU MAKE OR ANY CLAIM MADE AGAINST YOU. YOU MAY LATER CANCEL THIS COVERAGE BY
PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE OBTAINED PROPERTY COVERAGE ELSEWHERE.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY US. THE COST OF
THIS INSURANCE WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR CONTRACT OR LOAN BALANCE. IF THE COST IS
ADDED TO YOUR CONTRACT OR LOAN BALANCE, THE INTEREST RATE ON THE UNDERLYING
CONTRACT OR LOAN WILL APPLY TO THIS ADDED AMOUNT. THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF COVERAGE
MAY BE THE DATE YOUR PRIOR COVERAGE LAPSED OR THE DATE YOU FAILED TO PROVIDE
PROOF OF COVERAGE.
THE COVERAGE WE PURCHASE MAY BE CONSIDERABLY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN INSURANCE YOU
CAN OBTAIN ON YOUR OWN AND MAY NOT SATISFY ANY NEED FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE COVERAGE
OR ANY MANDATORY LIABILITY INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
SECTION 17.5 TRANSFERS OF TITLE. Pursuant to ORS Section 93.040(i),
Borrower and Lender acknowledge as follows:
THIS DEED OF TRUST WILL NOT ALLOW USE OF THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN THIS DEED OF
