<PAGE> 2
(1) To secure performance of the covenants and agreements herein set
forth and payment of Trustor's Note dated the 21st day of July, 2000, in the sum
of One Million Four Hundred Sixty-Nine Thousand Dollars ($1,469,000) and
interest as specified therein, and any and all extensions, revisions or renewals
thereof in whole or in part.
(2) Performance of each covenant, promise and agreement of Trustor
contained herein or incorporated herein by reference; and
(3) Payment of all sums required to be made by Trustor pursuant to
the terms hereof. It is understood, however, by Trustor and Beneficiary that
Beneficiary shall not be required to make any such additional advances and/or
Loans and that, if any such advances and/or Loans are made, they will be made
only at such times and in such amounts as Beneficiary may, in its sole
discretion, determine.
TO PROTECT THE PROPERTY AND SECURITY GRANTED BY THIS TRUST DEED, IT
IS AGREED:
1. Trustor warrants that it is seized of good and merchantable fee
simple title to the Trust Property, subject only to reservations in the patent,
water right application, obligations arising in favor of water use or irrigation
associations or companies (none of the assessments of which are delinquent),
current taxes not delinquent, easements and restrictions of record. Trustor
acknowledges that all legal descriptions of real estate listed herein were
provided by Trustor, warrants the correctness of such descriptions, and agrees
that, in the event there does exist an error or defect in such legal
descriptions, Trustor authorizes Trustee to do all acts and things and execute
all documents deemed necessary by Beneficiary, proper and convenient for the
perfection, protection, preservation or enforcement of Beneficiary's rights
hereunder.
2. Trustor agrees to pay all indebtedness secured hereby including
principal, interest, costs and attorney's fees in accordance with the terms of
each evidence of indebtedness.
3. Trustor agrees to pay, before the same becomes delinquent, all
taxes, assessments, water and other charges levied or assessed upon or against
the Trust Property, and in addition all charges for gas, electricity and other
items furnished to or charged against the Trust Property.
Trustor agrees to pay, prior to delinquency, any and all ground
rents and amounts payable under any Lease, trust deed, mortgage or other
instrument which may be an encumbrance on the Trust Property.
4. Trustor agrees to keep the improvements now or hereafter located
on the Trust Property insured against loss by fire and other hazards and
casualties in such amounts and for such periods as may be required from time to
time by Beneficiary. Trustor also agrees to maintain and keep in force during
the term hereof flood hazard insurance as may be or may have been required by
Beneficiary or by law or regulation. Trustor agrees to pay the premiums on such
insurance, when due and prior to delinquency, and furnish proof of such payment
to Beneficiary. All insurance shall be carried in responsible insurance
companies approved by
2
<PAGE> 3
Beneficiary. The policies shall be held by Beneficiary and shall have, at all
times, loss payable clauses attached thereto in favor of and approved by
Beneficiary.
In the event of any loss or damage to the improvements, Trustor will
give immediate notice by mail to Beneficiary and make proper proof of loss (and
if not made by Trustor, Beneficiary may make the same). Beneficiary may require
that the payment for such loss be paid directly to Beneficiary only and not
jointly to Trustor and Beneficiary. Beneficiary may, at its option, apply the
payment to the reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby or may apply the
same to the restoration or repair of the property damaged. Trustor hereby
assigns to Beneficiary all such policies and the payments to be made thereunder.
In the event of foreclosure of this Trust Deed, or exercise of the
power of sale given to Trustee, or acquisition of the title to the property by
Beneficiary or its assigns, all right, title, and interest of Trustor in and to
the policies and proceeds thereof and sums payable thereunder shall forthwith
pass automatically to the purchaser of said property.
5. Trustor agrees to keep the buildings and other improvements on
the property at all times in good condition and repair. All apparatus and
machinery shall be kept in good working order and properly serviced and
repaired. Trustor will not allow nor commit any waste, and will not demolish nor
structurally alter any buildings on the property, and will do no act to injure
or depreciate the value of such property. The property and buildings thereon
shall be kept in a reasonably clean, safe and sanitary condition and shall not
be allowed to become dilapidated or rundown.
Trustor agrees that it will not remove or allow to be removed any
fixture or fixtures from the Trust Property without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary. Trustor further agrees that in adding any new fixtures or in
substituting fixtures on the Trust Property, prior proof will be furnished
Beneficiary that no security exists therein.
6. In the event Trustor fails to make any payment required to be
made by it hereunder, or fails to keep the property so insured, or fails to keep
the property so repaired, or fails to perform any of its other obligations
hereunder, Beneficiary may make any such payment, obtain any such insurance,
make any such repairs (Trustor hereby grants Beneficiary the right to go upon
the premises for such purpose), or remedy any other default of Trustor. All
expenditures made by Beneficiary shall be prima facie evidence of the necessity
therefor and reasonableness thereof. Such expenditures, together with all
incidental costs of Beneficiary, including reasonable attorney's fees if
incurred, shall be immediately due and payable by Trustor to Beneficiary, shall
bear interest until paid at the rate of two percent (2%) per month, and shall be
secured by this Trust Deed.
7. Trustee and Beneficiary and their officers, employees, and agents
may enter upon and inspect the property at any reasonable time or times.
8. The proceeds of any judgment, award or settlement in any
condemnation or eminent domain proceeding or on account of injury to the
property by reason of public use, or by reason of private trespass, or other
injury to the property, shall be paid to Beneficiary, who may at its option,
either reapply the proceeds to reduce the indebtedness secured hereby (whether
3
<PAGE> 4
matured or to mature in the future) or be released to Trustor. Trustor hereby
assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all such amounts and proceeds and agrees
that Beneficiary may receipt for the same on behalf of Trustor.
9. Trustor by execution of this Deed of Trust assigns and transfers
to Beneficiary all of Trustor's right, title and interest in and to all leases,
rents, profits or income from the Trust Property and each and every part
thereof, including all present and future leases or rental agreements, which
assignment and transfer may be enforced by Beneficiary only upon any default by
Trustor, existing under this agreement, by any one or more of the following
methods: (a) appointment of a receiver; (b) Beneficiary taking possession of the
Trust Property; (c) Beneficiary collecting any moneys payable under leases or
rental agreements directly from the parties obligated for payment; (d)
injunction; or (e) any other method permitted by law.
Unless and until Beneficiary shall elect to collect said rents and
rentals, the same shall be collected by Trustor, but Beneficiary may at any
time, after Trustor's default, collect all such rents and rentals and Trustor
agrees not to hinder or delay Beneficiary in collecting the same.
Any rents or rentals received by Beneficiary shall be applied first
to the cost of collection, second to any expenses Beneficiary may expend in
making the property ready for or satisfactory to any lessee or tenant, and the
remainder shall be applied on the indebtedness secured hereby (whether matured
or unmatured) as Beneficiary may elect.
Trustor shall not consent to the cancellation or surrender of any
lease on the property, or any portion thereof, having an unexpired term of two
(2) years or more, or decrease the rental payable under any lease, or receive or
collect more than two (2) month's rent in advance, and Trustor agrees not to
default in performing its obligations under all leases on the property.
10. Time is of the essence of this Trust Deed. No failure on the
part of Beneficiary to exercise any of its rights hereunder shall be construed
as a waiver of or prejudice its rights in the event of any other subsequent
default or breach. No delay on the part of Beneficiary in exercising any of its
rights hereunder shall preclude it from the exercise thereof at any time during
the continuance of any such default. The acceptance of late payments shall not
waive the "time is of the essence" provision. All rights and remedies of
Beneficiary are cumulative and concurrent, and may be exercised singly,
severally or concurrently as Beneficiary may elect.
11. In the event the indebtednesses secured hereby or this Trust
Deed is placed in the hands of attorneys for collection or foreclosure, then
Trustor agrees to pay reasonable attorney's fees to Beneficiary, in addition to
the amount due thereon, together with all costs and expenses incurred by
Beneficiary in the collection and foreclosure thereof, and together with the
cost of a title search, the payment of which sums are secured by this Trust
Deed.
12. In the event of any default by Trustor in the payment of the
indebtedness secured hereby; or in the event of any default of Trustor in
performing any of its obligations hereunder or any obligations under any loan
agreement or other document executed by Trustor
4
<PAGE> 5
and held by Beneficiary; or in the event Trustor, or any guarantor or surety
shall be adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt or any proceedings are filed by or
against them or any of them in the nature of bankruptcy or reorganization or
arrangement with creditors; or in the event any proceeding is filed to foreclose
or any Notice of Trustee's Sale is recorded on any other lien on the Trust
Property (whether junior or senior to this Trust Deed); or in the event any Writ
or Attachment shall be filed or levied against the Trust Property; or in the
event Trustor abandons the Trust Property or leaves the same unattended or
unprotected; or in the event Beneficiary shall deem the security provided by
this Trust Deed inadequate or in danger of being impaired or diminished from any
cause whatsoever (any of such events being an event of default hereunder); then
and in any such event Beneficiary may declare the entire debt and all
indebtedness of Trustor to Beneficiary to be immediately due and payable without
notice to Trustor. Beneficiary may thereupon, at its option, and without prior
notice and without affecting the lien of this Trust Deed, do any one or more of
the following: enter upon the premises and inspect, repair, improve and maintain
the same, rent or lease the premises or portions thereof as Beneficiary shall
see fit, and perform such other acts thereon as Beneficiary may deem necessary
or advisable; sue for all or part of the indebtedness owing from Trustor to
Beneficiary without affecting or without losing the security of this Trust Deed;
foreclose this Trust Deed as a mortgage in the manner provided by law; cause the
exercise of the power of sale granted herein; bring an action for damages, or
exercise such other remedies or combination of remedies Beneficiary may have
under law and equity.
13. Upon payment in full of all sums secured hereby and performance
of all obligations of Trustor hereunder, the lien of this Trust Deed upon the
Trust Property shall be released by reconveyance by Deed of Release, which said
reconveyance and release shall be without warranty and shall operate to reconvey
the estate vested in Trustee hereby.
Beneficiary may, at any time, without notice, release any person
liable for payment of any indebtedness secured hereby, release portions of the
Trust Property from this Trust Deed, or extend or modify the time for payment of
the indebtedness secured hereby by agreement with Trustor or by agreement with
subsequent owners of said property, and any such release, extension or
modification shall not affect the personal liability of any person for the
payment of said indebtedness or the lien of this Trust Deed upon the remaining
portion of said property.
At any time, without liability therefor and without notice, and
without affecting the personal liability of Trustor of any other person for
payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, Trustee may, with the consent of
Beneficiary: (a) release and reconvey by Deed of Release any part of the Trust
Property from the lien hereof; (b) consent to the making and recording of any
maps or plats of the Trust Property; (c) join in granting any easement on the
Trust Property; or (d) join in any extension agreement or any agreement
subordinating or modifying the lien or charge hereof. If Trustee shall perform
any such acts or execute complete or partial reconveyances it shall be paid a
fee in accordance with its established fees and charges therefor.
If reconveyance by Deed of Release is to be made by Trustee,
Beneficiary shall deliver the original of this Trust Deed and the note secured
hereby to Trustee with a request for reconveyance by Deed of Release.
5
<PAGE> 6
The Grantee in any Deed of Release executed pursuant to this Trust
Deed may be described as "the person or persons legally entitled thereto" and
the recitals therein of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the
truthfulness thereof.
14. In the event of default hereunder, Beneficiary, if it desires
Trustee to exercise the power of sale granted hereby, shall execute and deliver
to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale and shall
surrender to Trustee this Trust Deed, the note secured hereby and all documents
evidencing any expenditures hereunder, together with such other documents as
Trustee may require. Beneficiary shall also execute and deliver to Trustee all
notices to Trustor that must be signed by Beneficiary. Upon receipt thereof,
Trustee shall sell the Trust Property as provided by law. Trustee may postpone
the sale as provided by law. After sale of the Trust Property, Trustee shall
deliver its deed to the purchaser conveying the property so sold but without any
covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recital in any such deed of any
matters or facts, stated either specifically or in general terms, or as
conclusions of law or facts, shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness
thereof.
15. Beneficiary may, at any time, request cancellation of Trustee's
Notice of Sale, whereupon Trustee shall execute and record, or cause to be
recorded, a Cancellation of Notice of Sale in the same county in which the
Notice of Sale was recorded. The exercise by Beneficiary of this right shall not
constitute a waiver of any default then existing or subsequently occurring.
In the event this Trust Deed and the indebtedness and obligations
secured hereby are reinstated in the manner provided by law, Beneficiary shall
forthwith notify Trustee thereof as provided by law. Upon such notification,
Trustee shall record, or cause to be recorded, a Cancellation of Notice of Sale
in the same county in which the Notice of Sale was recorded within the period
then required by law.
16. In the event of default hereunder, at any time before the Trust
Property has been sold pursuant to the power of sale granted hereby, this Trust
Deed may be foreclosed in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of
mortgages on real property.
17. In the event of default hereunder, Beneficiary shall be entitled
to the appointment of a Receiver to take charge of the property, collect the
rents, issues and profits therefrom, care for and repair the same, improve the
same when necessary or desirable, lease and rent the property or portion thereof
(including leases existing beyond the term of receivership), plant, cultivate
and harvest crops thereon, and otherwise use and utilize the property and to
have such other duties as may be fixed by the Court.
Trustor specifically agrees that the Receiver may be appointed
without any notice to Trustor whatsoever, and the Court may appoint a Receiver
without reference to matters normally taken into account by Courts in the
discretionary appointment of Receivers, it being the intention of Trustor to
hereby authorize the appointment of a Receiver when Trustor is in default and
Beneficiary has requested the appointment of a Receiver. Trustor hereby agrees
and consents to the appointment of the particular person or firm (including an
officer or employee of Beneficiary) designated by Beneficiary as Receiver and
hereby waives its rights to suggest or nominate any person or firm as Receiver
in opposition to that designated by Beneficiary.
6
<PAGE> 7
18. Beneficiary may substitute another Trustee herein named to
exercise the rights, powers and duties granted by law and contained herein. Upon
such appointment, and without the necessity of a conveyance to the successor
Trustee, the latter shall be vested with all the title, powers and duties
conferred upon the Trustee herein named.
19. Beneficiary or any purchaser at Trustee's sale or at any
foreclosure sale may, if it so elects, be subrogated to and succeed to all the
rights of Trustor under any or all leases on the property or portions thereof.
Beneficiary may, if it so elects, subordinate its rights hereunder to any lease
on the property, or a portion thereof, and keep the lease in effect through and
after any foreclosure action or Trustee's sale.
20. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the lien, notwithstanding its
release of record, of any prior mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrance paid
or discharged from the proceeds of the note secured hereby, or from any advance
made by Beneficiary.
21. In the event of the passage after the date of this Trust Deed of
any law levying any tax upon this Trust Deed or the debt secured hereby, which
Beneficiary is obliged to pay, then Trustor agrees to pay said tax or reimburse
Beneficiary for the payment of the same, provided that Trustor shall not be
obligated to pay any amount which would be considered as interest at a rate
higher than allowed by law, and provided further that in the event of the
enactment of any such law Beneficiary shall have the right, at its option, to
declare the indebtedness secured hereby to be immediately due and payable.
22. Trustor agrees that in the event of a sale, assignment,
encumbrance, or any other transfer of the Trust Property described herein or any
portion thereof or interest therein, whether such transfer is voluntary or
involuntary, or in the event Trustor contracts for the sale of said property, or
any portion thereof or interest therein, then and in that event, Beneficiary
may, at its option, accelerate the time for payment of all indebtedness secured
hereby and demand full repayment thereof, or give its written consent to such
transfer on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may in its sole discretion
require.
23. Trustee may, but shall be under no obligation or duty to, appear
in or defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof
or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee. If Trustee shall take such
action at the request of Beneficiary, it shall be paid therefor in accordance
with its established fees and charges and shall be reimbursed for its costs and
expenses actually incurred, including attorney's fees.
24. The Trust created hereby is irrevocable by Trustor. Trustee
accepts this Trust Deed, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record
as provided by law, but acceptance is not required as a condition to the
validity hereof, and this Trust Deed is effective upon delivery. Trustee shall
not be obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other
trust deed, or any action or proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary or Trustee
shall be a party, except as required by law.
25. The word "Trustor" and the language of this instrument shall,
where there is more than one Trustor, be construed as plural and be binding
equally on Trustors. The obligations of Trustors hereunder and under the note
secured hereby shall be joint and several.
7
<PAGE> 8
This Trust Deed applies to, is binding upon, and inures to the benefit of all
parties hereto, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
The term "Beneficiary" shall include not only the original Beneficiary
hereunder, but also any future owner and holder of the note secured hereby.
26. If any provision hereof should be held unenforceable or invalid,
in whole or in part, then such unenforceable or void provision or part shall be
deemed separable from the remaining provisions hereof and shall in no way affect
the validity of this Trust Deed.
27. Notwithstanding any provisions herein, or in the note, notes or
other evidences of indebtedness, secured hereby, or in any related agreement
between Trustor and Beneficiary, the total liability of Trustor for payments in
the nature of interest shall not exceed the limits now imposed by the laws of
the State of Arizona.
28. Trustor requests that a copy of any Notice of Sale hereunder be
mailed to him at his mailing address set forth below. Any notices required to be
given to Trustor by mailing shall be effective and complete when mailed and
shall be mailed to the address set forth below. Lack of receipt thereof shall in
no way invalidate the notice or any sale by Trustee hereunder. If Trustor
desires to change the address to which notices shall be mailed, such change
shall be accomplished by a request as provided by law.
29. Trustee shall be paid for all acts performed by it hereunder or
in connection herewith in accordance with its established fees and charges. All
such fees and charges shall be paid by Trustor, and if Beneficiary shall advance
any such fees or charges, Trustor shall reimburse Beneficiary for same on
demand. Payment thereof is secured by this Trust Deed.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Trustor has executed this Deed of Trust this 20th
day of July, 2000.
