25. On or about October 27, 2021, LBJ executed and delivered to the Bank that certain Deed of Trust and Security Agreement (the “Deed of Trust”) covering certain real property located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico and enumerated fixtures, improvements, and personal property (the “Collateral”). A copy of the Deed of Trust is attached as Exhibit “D” hereto.
26. The Deed of Trust is binding upon LBJ and creates a valid interest on the part of the Bank in the Collateral.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, LBJ ENTERPRISES LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address at 513 N Lake Havasu, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403 ("Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of BANCCENTRAL, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association ("Bank"), at the following address: 604 Flynn Street, PO Box 667, Alva, Oklahoma 73717, or such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of Seven Million Eight Hundred Sixty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($7,860,000.00) in lawful money of the United States of America, with interest thereon to be computed from the date of disbursement under this Promissory Note (this "Note") at the Interest Rate (hereinafter defined).
1. Repayment.
a. Borrower shall make payments in arrears of principal and interest hereunder in an amount sufficient to fully-amortize the unpaid balance of the Loan over an amortization period equal to 240 months, at the Interest Rate. Such payments of principal and interest shall be paid on the first day of the month following the Closing Date, and on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter, ending on October 27, 2041 (the "Maturity Date"), on which date the entire principal balance of this Note then unpaid and all accrued interest then unpaid and all other amounts due hereunder shall be finally due and payable.
b. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to be made by Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made to Bank in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, not later than 4:00 P.M. central standard time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Whenever any payment under any Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest and fees, as the case may be
2. Interest Rate. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note (computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in any year) from the date hereof at a variable interest rate equal to one percent (1.00%) plus the Prime Rate per annum (the "Interest Rate"). The Interest Rate shall reset every five (5) years. "Prime Rate" shall be, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the rate last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the "Prime Rate" in the United States.
3. Application. All payments on this Note shall be applied at any time and from time to time in the following order: (a) the payment or reimbursement of any expenses (including, but not limited to, late charges), costs or obligations (other than the principal hereof and interest hereon) for which Borrower shall be obligated or Bank entitled pursuant to the
provisions hereof or of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (b) the payment of accrued but unpaid interest thereon, (c) the payment of unpaid escrow amounts (if any) required under the Loan Documents, and (d) the payment of all or any portion of the principal balance then outstanding hereunder, in either the direct or inverse order of maturity, at Bank’s option.
4. Late Charge. If any payment hereunder (other than the final payment due on the Maturity Date or acceleration of all amounts due hereunder) is not actually received by Bank by close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day after the date on which it was due, Borrower shall pay to Bank an amount (the "Late Charge") equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid portion of the late payment or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, to defray the expenses incurred by Bank in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Bank for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. All such Late Charges shall be automatically due and payable without notice or demand and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
5. Prepayment. The principal balance of this Note may be prepaid by Borrower in whole or in part at any time upon the payment of: (i) all accrued interest to and including the date that such prepayment is received by Bank in immediately available funds at the Interest Rate and/or the Default Rate, as applicable, (ii) the portion of the principal balance being prepaid, and (iii) all other sums, if any, then due under this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. All prepayments will be applied to the principal balance of the Loan in inverse order of maturity and will not change the monthly payment amount referenced in Section 1 above.
6. Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, the whole of the Obligations, including, without limitation, the principal sum of this Note, all accrued interest and all other sums due under this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall, without notice, become due and payable at the option of Bank: provided, however, that if any Loan Document provides for automatic acceleration of payment of sums owing hereunder, all sums owing hereunder shall be automatically and immediately due and payable in accordance with the terms of such Loan Document. Additionally, Bank may exercise any and all rights and remedies provided under any of the Loan Documents or to which it is entitled under applicable law.
7. Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, the failure of Borrower to pay this Note in full on the Maturity Date), Bank shall be entitled to receive, and Borrower shall pay, interest on the entire unpaid principal balance at the rate (the "Default Rate") equal to five percent (5.0%) above the Interest Rate; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Default Rate exceed the Maximum Rate (hereinafter defined). The Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual payment in full of the Note. This charge shall be added to the amount due hereunder, and shall be deemed secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. This clause, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the Maturity Date, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Bank by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.
8. Collateral. This Note is secured by the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Mortgaged Property and the fixtures located thereon.
9. Attorney Fees. In the event that Bank employs attorney(s) to collect the amounts due hereunder, to enforce the provisions of this Note or to protect or foreclose the Mortgage or take any other action with respect to the Collateral, Borrower agrees to pay Bank's reasonable attorney fees and disbursements, whether or not suit be brought. Such fees shall be due and payable immediately upon demand by Bank.
10. Limit of Validity. This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest or other charges on this Note at a rate which may subject Bank to civil or criminal liability as a result of such rate exceeding the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted to pay by applicable law (the "Maximum Rate"). If by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest or other charges on this Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest due under this Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Rate and any previous payments in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.
11. Setoff. In support of its obligations under this Note, Borrower hereby grants Bank a security interest in all deposit accounts maintained by Borrower with Bank, together with all net credit balances contained therein, and further, grants Bank a right of setoff against any such net credit balances which Bank may exercise at any time an Event of Default occurs and continues or if Borrower fails to timely pay any amount due under this Note.
12. No Oral Amendments. This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Bank, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.
13. Assignment. This Note may be freely transferred and assigned by Bank, its successors, endorsees and assigns. Borrower may not transfer its rights and obligations with respect to this Note, without the express written approval of Bank.
14. Applicable Law. This Note shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma.
15. Consent to Jurisdiction. This Note is subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 of the Loan Agreement with respect to consent to jurisdiction.
16. Waiver of Presentment, Etc. Borrower and all others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of this Note do hereby severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and notice of intent to accelerate the maturity hereof (and of such acceleration). Borrower also waives all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.
17. **No Waiver.** Any failure by Bank to insist upon strict performance by Borrower of any of the provisions of this Note or the other Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of this Note or the other Loan Documents, and Bank shall have the right thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Borrower of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents.
18. **Defined Terms; Incorporation by Reference.** Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them under the Loan Agreement dated of even date herewith between Borrower and Bank (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"). Where appropriate, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the words "Bank" and "Borrower" shall include their respective successors and permitted assigns.
19. **Severability.** If any term, covenant or condition of this Note is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Note shall be construed without such provision.
20. **Notices.** All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder ("Notices") must be in writing (except as may be, agreed otherwise above with respect to borrowing requests) and will be effective upon receipt. Notices shall be given in the manner provided for in the Loan Agreement.
21. **Time of the Essence.** Time shall be of the essence in the performance of all obligations of Borrower hereunder.
BORROWER AND BANK HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE, THE MORTGAGE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF BORROWER OR BANK.

6.1 Payment of Taxes. Promptly pay and discharge all of its Taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges prior to the date on which penalties are attached thereto, establish adequate reserves for the payment of such Taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges, make all required withholding and other tax deposits, and, upon request, provide Bank with receipts or other proof that such Taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges have been paid in a timely fashion; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall require the payment of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge so long as its validity is being contested in good faith, and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, and adequate reserves for the payment thereof have been established.

6.3 Compliance With Laws.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT
This Guaranty Agreement (this “Guaranty”) is made as of October 27, 2021, by JARRET PORTZ, individually, and LESLIE LAMASTUS, individually (collectively and jointly and severally, the “Guarantor”), in favor of BANCCENTRAL, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the “Bank”), and its successors and assigns.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Bank has agreed to extend a loan in the amount of $7,860,000.00 (the “Loan”) to LBJ Enterprises LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”) for the purpose of financing or refinancing the costs of acquisition and improvement of the real property that will serve as security for the Loan (collectively, the “Mortgaged Property”);
WHEREAS, the Loan shall be evidenced by a Promissory Note dated of even date herewith in the principal amount of $7,860,000.00 in favor of the Bank, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, replaced or supplemented (the “Note”);
WHEREAS, the Note, the Loan Agreement (as defined below), the Mortgage (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and any and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan are collectively herein referred to as the “Loan Documents”;
WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to certain agreements made by the Bank in a Loan Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”), the Bank has required, among other things, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor;
WHEREAS, it is intended that this Guaranty extend to the Loan and all other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, without any need for any notice to the Guarantor of the making of any advances and without any need for any supplements or amendments to this Guaranty or any other documentation to be executed by the Guarantor; and
WHEREAS, unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Note and the Loan Agreement.
WITNESSETH:
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and as a material inducement to the Bank to extend credit to the Borrower, the Guarantor hereby guarantees to the Bank the prompt and full payment and performance of the Indebtedness and the other obligations in connection with the Loan as defined and described below in this Guaranty (hereinafter sometimes collectively called the “Obligations”), upon the following terms and conditions:
1. Guaranty of Payment. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Bank the punctual payment when due, whether by scheduled payment date, upon maturity, lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity, or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all principal, interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding by or against the Borrower, whether or not allowed in such proceeding), fees, late charges, costs, expenses, indemnification indebtedness (excluding environmental indebtedness
pursuant to the Environmental Indemnity Agreement), and other sums of money now or hereafter due and owing pursuant to (a) the terms of the Note and any other Loan Document executed in connection with the Loan, now or hereafter existing, and specifically including any and all advances made by the Bank under the Loan Documents from sources other than the Loan, and interest on such advances, and (b) all renewals, extensions, increases, refinancings, modifications, supplements or amendments to such indebtedness, or any of the Loan Documents, or any part thereof (such indebtedness being hereinafter collectively called the "Indebtedness"). This Guaranty covers the Indebtedness, whether presently outstanding or arising subsequent to the date hereof. The guaranty of Guarantor as set forth in this Section is a continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection.
2. Primary Liability of the Guarantor. This Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment. The Guarantor shall be liable for the payment of the Obligations, as set forth in this Guaranty, as a primary obligor. This Guaranty shall be effective as a waiver of, and the Guarantor hereby expressly waives, any and all rights to which the Guarantor may otherwise have been entitled under any suretyship laws in effect from time to time, including any right or privilege, whether existing under statute, at law or in equity, to require the Bank to take prior recourse or proceedings against any collateral, security or Person (hereinafter defined) whatsoever. Upon the occurrence of any default under the Loan which is not cured within applicable notice and cure periods, if any, the Indebtedness shall be deemed immediately due and payable at the election of the Bank, and the Guarantor shall, on demand and without presentment, protest, any notice whatsoever, pay the amount due thereon to the Bank or perform or observe the agreement, covenant, term or condition, as the case may be, and it shall not be necessary for the Bank, in order to enforce such payment by any Guarantor, first to institute suit or pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against the Borrower or others liable on the Obligations, or to institute suit or pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or other sureties of the Obligations as contemplated by applicable law or to enforce any rights against any security that shall ever have been given to secure the Obligations, or to join the Borrower or any others liable for the payment of the Obligations or any part thereof in any action to enforce this Guaranty, or to resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Obligations.
3. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby represents, warrants, and covenants that (a) the Guarantor will derive substantial benefit, directly or indirectly, from the making of the Loan to the Borrower and from the making of this Guaranty by the Guarantor; (b) this Guaranty is duly authorized and valid, and is binding upon and enforceable against the Guarantor; (c) the Guarantor is not, and the execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty will not cause the Guarantor to be, in violation of or in default with respect to any law or in default (or at risk of acceleration of indebtedness) under any agreement or restriction by which the Guarantor is bound or affected; (d) except as may have been disclosed to the Bank in writing, there is no litigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened before or by any tribunal against or affecting the Guarantor which would materially and adversely affect the financial condition of Guarantor; (e) all financial statements and information heretofore furnished to the Bank by the Guarantor do, and all financial statements and information hereafter furnished to the Bank by the Guarantor will, fully and accurately present the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Guarantor as of their dates and the results of the Guarantor's operations for the periods therein specified, and, since the date of the most recent financial statements of the Guarantor heretofore furnished to the Bank, no material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of the Guarantor; (f) after giving effect to this Guaranty, the Guarantor is solvent, is not engaged or about to engage in business or a transaction for which the property of the Guarantor is an unreasonably small capital contribution, and
does not intend to incur or believe that it will incur debts that will be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature; (g) the Bank has no duty at any time to investigate or inform the Guarantor of the financial or business condition or affairs of the Borrower or any change therein, and the Guarantor will keep fully appraised of the Borrower's financial and business condition; (h) the Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Guarantor may be required to pay the Obligations in full without assistance or support from the Borrower or any other Person (except to the extent the Guarantor's liability for the Obligations is limited in Section 1 hereof); and (i) the Guarantor has read and fully understands the provisions contained in the Note and the other Loan Documents, each of which may be modified, extended, supplemented or extended from time to time without notice to or consent from the Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty. The Guarantor's representations, warranties and covenants are a material inducement to the Bank to enter into the other Loan Documents and shall survive the execution hereof and any bankruptcy, foreclosure, transfer of security or other event affecting the Borrower, the Guarantor, any other party, or any security for all or any part of the Obligations.
4. Certain Agreements and Waivers by the Guarantor.
(a) The Guarantor hereby agrees that neither the Bank's rights or remedies nor the Obligations shall be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or affected by any one or more of the following events, actions, facts, or circumstances, and the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(i) any limitation of liability or recourse in any other Loan Document or arising under any law;

(iii) the taking or accepting of any other security or guaranty for, or right of recourse with respect to, any or all of the Obligations;
(iv) any homestead exemption or other exemption under applicable law;
(v) any release, surrender, abandonment, exchange, alteration, sale or other disposition, subordination, deterioration, waste, failure to protect or preserve, impairment, or loss of, or any failure to create or perfect any lien or security interest with respect to, or any other dealings with, any collateral or security at any time existing or purported, believed or expected to exist in connection with any or all of the Obligations, including any impairment of the Guarantor's recourse against any Person or collateral;
(vi) whether express or by any operation of law, any full or partial release of the liability of any Guarantor, the Borrower or any other party hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents;
(vii) the death, insolvency, bankruptcy, disability, dissolution, liquidation, termination, receivership, reorganization, merger, consolidation, change of form, structure or ownership, sale of all assets, or lack of corporate, partnership or other
power of the Borrower or any other party at any time liable for the payment of any or all of the Obligations;
(viii) either with or without notice to or consent of the Guarantor: any renewal, extension, modification or rearrangement of the terms of any or all of the Obligations and/or any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, material alterations of the terms of payment (including changes in maturity date(s), interest rate(s) and amortization) or performance or any other terms thereof, or any waiver, termination, or release of, or consent to departure from, any of the Loan Documents or any other guaranty of any or all of the Obligations, or any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance, or compromise that may be granted from time to time by the Bank to the Borrower, any Guarantor, and/or any other Person at any time liable for the payment of any or all of the Obligations;
(ix) any neglect, lack of diligence, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of the Bank to take or prosecute (or in taking or prosecuting) any action for the collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations, or to foreclose or take or prosecute any action to foreclose (or in foreclosing or taking or prosecuting any action to foreclose) upon any security therefor, or to exercise (or in exercising) any other right or power with respect to any security therefor, or to take or prosecute (or in taking or prosecuting) any action in connection with any Loan Document, or any failure to sell or otherwise dispose of in a commercially reasonable manner any collateral securing any or all of the Obligations;
(x) any failure of the Bank to notify the Guarantor of any creation, renewal, extension, rearrangement, modification, supplement, subordination, or assignment of the Obligations or any part thereof, or of any Loan Document, or of any release of or change in any security, or of any other action taken or refrained from being taken by the Bank against the Borrower or any security or other recourse, or of any new agreement between the Bank and the Borrower, it being understood that the Bank shall not be required to give the Guarantor any notice of any kind under any circumstances with respect to or in connection with the Obligations, any and all rights to notice that the Guarantor may have otherwise had being hereby waived by the Guarantor;
(xi) any refund by the Bank of any payment made by the Borrower or any other party liable for the payment of any or all of the Obligations;
(xii) the existence of any claim, set-off, or other right that the Guarantor may at any time have against the Borrower, the Bank, or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection with this Guaranty or any other Loan Document;
(xiii) the unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations against the Borrower, whether because the Obligations exceed the amount permitted by law or violate any usury law, or because the act of creating the Obligations, or any part thereof, is beyond the scope of powers granted (with respect to each corporate or partnership Guarantor), or because the officers or Persons creating same acted in excess of their authority, or because of a lack of validity or enforceability of or defect or deficiency in any of the Loan Documents, or because the Borrower has any valid defense, claim or offset with respect thereto, or because the Borrower's obligation ceases to exist by
operation of law, or because of any other reason or circumstance, it being agreed that the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder regardless of whether the Borrower or any other Person be found not liable on the Obligations, or any part thereof, for any reason (and regardless of any joinder of the Borrower or any other party in any action to obtain payment of any or all of the Obligations);
(xiv) any order, ruling or plan of reorganization emanating from proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code with respect to the Borrower or any other Person, including any extension, reduction, composition, or other alteration of the Obligations, whether or not consented to by the Bank; or
(xv) any failure to notify the Guarantor of, or obtain the Guarantor's consent to, the making of the Loan or advances thereunder.
(b) In the event that any payment by the Borrower or any other Person to the Bank is held to constitute a preference, fraudulent transfer or other voidable payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or if for any other reason the Bank is required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party, such payment by the Borrower or any other party to the Bank shall not constitute a release of the Guarantor from any liability hereunder, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated (notwithstanding any prior release, surrender or discharge by the Bank of this Guaranty or of the Guarantor), as the case may be, with respect to, and this Guaranty shall apply to, any and all amounts so refunded by the Bank or paid by the Bank to another Person (which amounts shall constitute part of the Obligations), and any interest paid by the Bank and any attorneys' fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Bank in connection with any such event. It is the intent of the Guarantor and the Bank that the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that until the Obligations are fully and finally paid and performed, and not subject to refund or disgorgement, the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or released, in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence that might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of a Guarantor.
(c) If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under the Note or any other Loan Document is stayed or delayed by any law or tribunal, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor on demand by the Bank.
5. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

Grantor will pay the amounts due under the Debt Instruments and the other indebtedness secured hereby in full as herein and in the Debt Instruments provided and will keep and perform all of the agreements, conditions and covenants in this Deed of Trust and in all other instruments securing payment of the Debt Instruments. The interest, repayment and other terms and provisions of the Debt Instruments are hereby incorporated by reference into this Deed of Trust as fully as if set forth at length herein.
2. Title and Lien. As of the delivery hereof, Grantor is the lawful owner of the Mortgaged Property and is seized of a good and indefeasible estate of inheritance therein free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except the Liens described on Exhibit B attached hereto
("Permitted Encumbrances"), has full power to subject the Mortgaged Property to the lien hereof and will warrant and defend the title thereto forever against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever. Except for the Permitted Encumbrances, the lien created by this Deed of Trust is prior to all liens on the Mortgaged Property. Grantor will, at its expense, do all such further acts and execute, acknowledge, deliver and record such further instruments and documents as Beneficiary shall require to continue, preserve and maintain this Deed of Trust as a valid and subsisting lien on the Mortgaged Property and the priority of this Deed of Trust and the record notice thereof so that no rights or liens of others shall gain parity with or priority over this Deed of Trust until all indebtedness secured hereby is fully paid, or in the event of a foreclosure sale hereunder, so that the purchaser at said sale shall acquire good title in fee simple to the Mortgaged Property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances subject to the Permitted Encumbrances.
3. Taxes, Assessments and Utilities. Grantor shall pay before delinquent, all taxes, assessments, water and sewer charges and public charges, general and special, now existing against the Land and Improvements or hereafter levied or assessed thereon. Grantor shall pay (or cause to be paid) before delinquent all charges for gas, electricity, water, sewer or other public utility services furnished to the Land and Improvements.
4. Insurance. Grantor shall obtain and keep in full force and effect during the term of this Deed of Trust at its sole cost and expense, policies of insurance as set forth in Section 6.5 of the Loan Agreement.
5. Preservation and Maintenance; Liens. Except as permitted in the Loan Agreement, Grantor shall keep all Improvements in good order and repair and will not permit waste thereon or substantial deterioration or loss of value thereof. None of the Improvements shall be removed unless replaced with similar property of equal or greater value or shall be materially structurally altered without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Grantor will not do anything or suffer or permit anything to be done whereby the lien of this Deed of Trust and the priority thereof might or could be impaired. Grantor shall pay, when due, the claims of all persons supplying labor or materials for the construction, maintenance, rebuilding, renovation, repair or restoration of the Land and Improvements. Grantor shall comply with all laws, statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, restrictions and covenants applicable to the ownership, use or occupancy of the Land and Improvements, including, without limitation, building codes and zoning ordinances.
6. Inspection. Beneficiary is hereby authorized to enter upon and inspect the Land and Improvements or any part thereof, upon reasonable notice to Grantor, at any time during normal business hours during the existence of the debt secured hereby, and Beneficiary is hereby granted an easement to enter upon and inspect the Land and Improvements.
7. Protection of Beneficiary's Security. If the Grantor fails to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Deed of Trust or if any action or proceeding is commenced which affects the Mortgaged Property or the interest of the Beneficiary therein, or the title thereto, then the Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option, may perform such covenants and agreements, defend against and/or investigate such action or proceeding, and take such other action as the Beneficiary deems necessary to protect the Beneficiary's interest. Beneficiary shall be the sole judge of the legality, validity and priority of any claim, lien, encumbrance, tax, assessment, charge and premium paid by it and of the amount necessary to be paid in satisfaction thereof. Beneficiary is
hereby given the power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) to enter upon the Land and Improvements as the Grantor’s agent and in the Grantor’s name and to perform any and all covenants and agreements required to be performed by the Grantor as herein provided. Any amounts disbursed or incurred by the Beneficiary pursuant to this paragraph, with interest thereon, shall be additional amounts secured by this Mortgage. Such amounts shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest from the date disbursed or incurred at a rate of interest (herein called the “Note Rate”) equivalent to the rate of interest applicable to principal indebtedness under the Note until paid, unless collection from Grantor of interest at the Note Rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate which may be collected from Grantor under applicable law. Beneficiary shall, at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other lien discharged in whole or in part by its advancement or disbursement of sums under the Debt Instruments or by the Beneficiary under the provisions hereof whether or not such mortgage or other lien has been released of record, and any such subrogation rights shall be additional and cumulative security for this Deed of Trust. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall require the Beneficiary to incur any expense or do any act hereunder, and the Beneficiary shall not be liable to the Grantor for any damages or claims arising out of any action taken by the Beneficiary pursuant to this paragraph.
8. Transfer of Mortgaged Property. If Grantor or any successor in interest to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, should, without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary, sell, convey, transfer or alienate the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or be divested of its title or any interest therein in any manner, whether voluntary or involuntary, Beneficiary, at its option and without notice to any person, shall be entitled to accelerate the maturity of all indebtedness and obligations owed by Grantor to Beneficiary, which shall thereupon be immediately due and payable in full, and to exercise all rights, remedies, privileges and powers available to it under this Deed of Trust, the Debt Instruments and any applicable law due to a default thereunder. However, such option shall not be exercised by Beneficiary if exercise is prohibited by applicable law as of the date of this Deed of Trust.
9. Condemnation. Grantor hereby pledges and assigns to the Beneficiary, as additional security for the indebtedness and obligations secured hereby, all awards and payments, including interest thereon, which become payable by reason of (i) any taking (herein called “Taking”) of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, whether directly or indirectly or temporarily or permanently, in or by condemnation or other eminent domain proceedings (including, without limitation, the alteration of the grade of any streets or roads), (ii) the sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, under threat or in anticipation of a Taking or (iii) any other damage or injury to or decrease in the value of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof. Such awards and payments, including interest thereon, shall be paid directly to Beneficiary and applied toward the payment of the indebtedness and obligations secured hereby in such manner as Beneficiary may determine after first deducting the costs and expenses of Beneficiary (including attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by applicable law) incurred in connection with any such Taking, sale, damage, injury or decrease. Upon receipt by Grantor of notice of any proceedings or negotiations relating to any such Taking or such other damage or injury or decrease in value, Grantor will promptly give notice thereof to Beneficiary, and Beneficiary may appear or formally intervene in any such proceedings and participate in any such negotiations and may be represented by counsel for the protection of its interests in the Mortgaged Property. Grantor will execute and deliver to the Beneficiary from time to time such further instruments as may be requested by Beneficiary to confirm such pledge and assignment to Trustee of
any such award or payment. Upon the actual or threatened waste, demolition or removal of any of the Improvements, upon an actual or threatened Taking or upon any other damage or injury to or decrease in the value of the Mortgaged Property, Beneficiary shall be entitled, at its option and without notice to Grantor, to accelerate the maturity of all indebtedness and obligations owed by Grantor to Beneficiary, which shall thereupon be immediately due and payable in full, and to exercise all rights, remedies, privileges and powers available to it under this Deed of Trust, the Debt Instruments and any applicable law due to a default thereunder.
10. Assignment of Rents; Appointment of Receiver. As additional security for the indebtedness and obligations secured hereby, Grantor hereby assigns and pledges to Beneficiary the rents, royalties, income and other benefits of and from all or any part of the Land and Improvements (herein collectively called the "Rents"), provided that Grantor shall, prior to acceleration hereunder or abandonment of the Land and Improvements, have the right to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable. Upon acceleration hercunder or abandonment of the Land and Improvements, Beneficiary, in person, by agent or by judicially appointed receiver, shall be entitled to enter upon, take possession of and manage the Land and Improvements, and to collect the Rents, including those past due. All Rents collected by Beneficiary or such receiver shall be applied first to payment of the costs of management of the Land and Improvements and collection of the Rents, including, but not limited to, receiver's fees, premiums on receiver's bonds and reasonable attorneys' fees, and then to the payment of the indebtedness and obligations secured hereby. Beneficiary and such receiver shall be liable to account only for those Rents actually received.
11. Security Agreement. This Deed of Trust shall constitute a security agreement with respect to any portion of the Mortgaged Property subject to the New Mexico Uniform Commercial Code (the "Code"), and Grantor hereby grants to Trustee a security interest in any portion of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Code. As additional security for the obligations and indebtedness secured hereby, Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary a security interest in any portion of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Code.
12. Maximum Interest. No provision of this Deed of Trust or the Debt Instruments shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law. If any excess interest in such respect is herein or in the Debt Instruments provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided for, neither Grantor nor Grantor's successors in title shall be obligated to pay such interest in excess of the maximum amount not prohibited by law, and the right to demand the payment of any such excess shall be and hereby is waived. This provision shall control over any other provision of this Deed of Trust or the Debt Instruments. If any such excess interest shall have been paid by Grantor, it shall automatically be treated as a payment of principal indebtedness evidenced by the Debt Instruments as of the time of payment.
13. Default and Remedies. NOW, if the indebtedness due under the Debt Instruments and the other indebtedness and obligations secured hereby be paid and performed when due and the agreements, conditions and covenants contained herein be faithfully kept and performed as provided herein, then these presents shall be null and void and the Mortgaged Property shall be released from the lien hereof at the cost of Grantor; provided, however, if such indebtedness and obligations be not paid and performed when due or any of the agreements, conditions and covenants herein contained be not kept and performed as provided herein, then, and in every such case, this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect, and during the continuance of any such default:
(a) Beneficiary, at its option and after giving any notice required by applicable law, may declare all indebtedness and obligations owed by Grantor to Beneficiary to be immediately due and payable for all purposes, and upon any such declaration the entire principal balance of the indebtedness due under the Debt Instruments, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other indebtedness and obligations secured hereby shall become and be immediately due and payable in full;
(b) The Trustee or successor trustee appointed as herein provided, shall, at the option and upon the request of the Beneficiary, proceed to sell the Mortgaged Property and any and every part thereof, at public venue to the highest bidder for cash, at the place where such trustees' sales are customarily held in the New Mexico county in which the Land and Improvements are located, first giving such notices and publishing such advertisements of the time, terms and place of sale and of the property to be sold as may be required by law; and upon such sale shall execute and deliver a deed of conveyance to the property sold to the purchaser or purchasers thereof, and any statement or recital of fact in such deed shall be prima facie evidence of the proof of such recital; and the Trustee shall receive the proceeds of such sale out of which shall be paid: FIRST, the costs and expenses of executing this trust including compensation to the Trustee for his services and reasonable attorneys' fees for his attorney and for the attorney of the Beneficiary, if such attorneys be employed; SECOND, to the Beneficiary upon the usual vouchers therefor, all monies, including interest thereon, advanced and paid under and in pursuance of the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust; THIRD, the indebtedness due under the Debt Instruments, including interest accrued thereunder to the time of such sale; and FOURTH, any subsequent lien; and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Grantor or its legal representative. The Trustee may sell and convey said property under the power aforesaid, to any person, firm or corporation, although the Trustee has been, may now be or may hereafter be attorney for or agent of the Beneficiary. The power of sale hereunder shall not be exhausted by any one or more of such sales (or attempts to sell) as to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all of the Mortgaged Property has been sold or the indebtedness due under the Debt Instruments and all other indebtedness and obligations secured hereby shall have been paid in full;
(c) Beneficiary shall be entitled to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage in any court of competent jurisdiction and shall be entitled to a judgment for the sums due upon the Debt Instruments and any additional indebtedness and obligations secured hereby, including, to the extent permitted by law, all costs and expenses of enforcing the same, and shall be entitled to a decree for the sale of the Mortgaged Property in satisfaction of said judgment foreclosing all of the rights and equities of Grantor in and to the Mortgaged Property, as well as all persons claiming under Grantor, at which sale appraisement of the Mortgaged Property, and all other exemptions relating to the Mortgaged Property are hereby expressly waived by Grantor. This right is cumulative and is not a waiver of the power of sale vested in the Trustee as herein provided;
(d) Beneficiary and/or the Trustee may exercise any and all applicable remedies available to a secured party under the Code; and
(e) Beneficiary may commence and continue to exercise any or all other rights, remedies, privileges and powers given Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust, the Debt Instruments, any additional security instruments currently or hereafter serving as security for any of the indebtedness and obligations secured hereby, the laws of the State of New Mexico and any other applicable law
due to such default. In furtherance, but not in limitation of, the foregoing, Beneficiary and/or the Trustee may elect to foreclose upon any or all of the personal property collateral and real property security under such additional security instruments or upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof either simultaneously, successively or alternatively, and Beneficiary may elect the order in which said personal property collateral and real property security, including the Mortgaged Property, shall be sold and the order of the application of the proceeds thereof.
In the event of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, any and all abstracts of title with respect to the Land and Improvements or any part thereof owned or in the possession of the Grantor, which are hereby pledged and assigned to the Trustee as additional security for the indebtedness and obligations secured hereby, shall be delivered and shall belong to the respective purchaser or purchasers at the foreclosure sale.
14. Trustee to Let the Land and Improvements. The Trustee hereby lets the Land and Improvements to the Grantor until a sale be had under the foregoing provisions therefor, or until a default in any of the agreements, conditions and covenants of this instrument or any Debt Instruments upon the following terms and conditions, to-wit: Grantor and every and all persons claiming or possessing the Land and Improvements, or any part thereof, by, through or under Grantor shall pay rent therefor during said term at the rate of One Cent (1¢) per month, payable monthly upon demand, and shall surrender immediate peaceable possession of the Land and Improvements and any and every part thereof sold under the foregoing provisions to the purchaser thereof under such sale, without notice or demand therefor, and shall and will at once, without notice, surrender up possession of the Land and Improvements and every part thereof in the event Beneficiary shall take charge and enter the Land and Improvements as hereinbefore provided.
15. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy granted or conferred by this Deed of Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission of Beneficiary or the Trustee, as the case may be, to exercise any right, remedy, privilege or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right, remedy, privilege or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein, and every right, remedy, privilege and power given by this Deed of Trust or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Beneficiary or the Trustee, as the case may be.
16. Substitute Trustee. Beneficiary is hereby granted full power at any time to appoint a substitute trustee or trustees by instrument properly executed, acknowledged and filed for record in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds in and for the county wherein this instrument is recorded, for any reason satisfactory to itself, who, from and after the filing of such appointment, shall have and possess all of the powers, authorities, duties and obligations vested in or upon the Trustee designated in this instrument.
17. Waiver of Marshalling. Grantor (for itself and all who may claim under it), any person who consents to this Deed of Trust and any person who now or hereafter acquires a lien on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and who has actual or constructive notice of this Deed of Trust or Trustee's lien hercunder hereby waive, to the full extent that they lawfully may, any and all rights to require the marshalling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the rights,
remedies, privileges and powers permitted by applicable law or provided herein.
18. Invalid Provisions to Affect No Others. If any one or more of the agreements, conditions, and covenants contained in this Deed of Trust or in the Debt Instruments shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remaining agreements, conditions and covenants contained herein and in the Debt Instruments shall be in no way affected, prejudiced, limited or impaired thereby.
19. Notice. Except for any notice required under applicable law to be given in another manner, all notices permitted or given pursuant to this Deed of Trust shall be sufficient if mailed postage prepaid, United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the above-described addresses of the Grantor and Beneficiary, or to such other address as either Grantor or Beneficiary may request in writing. Any time periods provided in the giving of any notice hereunder shall commence upon the date such notice is deposited in the mail as aforesaid.
20. Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Deed of Trust are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof or the interpretation thereof.
21. Miscellaneous.
