THIS CONVEYANCE, HOWEVER, IS IN TRUST (subject to the covenants,
stipulations and conditions below), to secure prompt payment of all
existing and future indebtedness due by Debtor to Secured Party under
the provisions of this Deed of Trust. If Debtor shall pay said
indebtedness promptly when due and shall perform all covenants made by
Debtor, then this conveyance shall be void and of no effect. If Debtor

the entire indebtedness, together with all interest accrued thereon,

association, then any officer thereof may declare Debtor to be in
default as provided in Paragraph 9 and request Trustee to sell the
Property. Secured Party shall have the same right to purchase the
property at the foreclosure sale as would a purchaser who is not a
Party to this Deed of Trust.
From the proceeds of the sale Trustee shall first pay all costs of
the sale including reasonable compensation to the Trustee; then the
indebtedness due Secured Party by Debtor, including accrued interest
and attorney's fees due for collection of the debt; and then, lastly,
any balance remaining to Debtor.
IT IS AGREED that this conveyance is made subject to the
covenants, stipulations and conditions set forth below which shall be
binding upon all parties hereto.

advances which Secured Party may make to Debtor from time to time upon
the security herein conveyed. Such advances shall be optional with

Secured Party. Any such advance may be made to any one of the Debtors
should there be more than one, and if so made, shall be secured by

granted by Secured Party are secured by this Deed of Trust, it will be
so indicated on the document that evidences the transaction. Therefore
this Deed of Trust will in no way secure any form of credit governed
by the Truth in Lending Act unless the document which evidences the
Credit Transaction indicates by proper disclosure that the Transaction
is secured by this Deed of Trust.
2. This Deed of Trust shall also secure any and all other
indebtedness of Debtor due to Secured Party with interest thereon as
specified, or of any one of the Debtors should there be more than one,

several, now existing or hereafter arising at any time before
cancellation of this Deed of Trust. Such indebtedness may be evidenced
by note, open account, overdraft, endorsement, guaranty or otherwise.
However, on all transactions covered by Truth in Lending, when
Debtor's notes, debts, obligations and liabilities to Secured Party
(in any form) arising out of existing, concurrent and future credit
granted by Secured Party are secured by this Deed of Trust, it will be
so indicated on the document that evidences the transaction. Therefore
this Deed of Trust will in no way secure any form of credit governed
by the Truth in Lending Act unless the document which evidences the
Credit Transaction indicates by proper disclosure that the Transaction
is secured by this Deed of Trust.

insurance companies acceptable to Secured Party, shall include
standard loss payable clauses in favor of Secured Party and shall be
delivered to Secured Party, Debtor shall promptly pay when due all
premiums charged for such insurance, and shall furnish Secured Party

to pay such premiums. In the event of a loss covered by the insurance
in force, Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party who may make
proof of loss if timely proof is not made by Debtor. All loss payments
shall be made directly to Secured Party as loss payee who may either
apply the proceeds to the repair or restoration of the damaged
improvements or to the indebtedness of Debtor, or release such proceeds
in whole or in part to Debtor.

levied against the Property or upon the Interest of Trustee or Secured

or assessments become delinquent, and shall furnish Secured Party the
tax receipts for inspection. Should Debtor fail to pay all taxes and
assessments when due, Secured Party shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to make these payments.

specifying a just cause related to Secured Party's interest in the
Property. Secured Party shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to cause needed repairs to be made to the Property after first
affording Debtor a reasonable opportunity to make the repairs.
Should the purpose of the primary indebtedness for which
this Deed of Trust is given as security be for construction of
improvements on the land herein conveyed, Secured Party shall have the
right to make or arrange to be made entries upon the Property and
inspections of the construction in progress. Should Secured Party
determine that Debtor is failing to perform such construction in a
timely and satisfactory manner, Secured Party shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to take charge of and proceed with the
construction at the expense of Debtor after first affording Debtor a
reasonable opportunity to continue the construction in a manner
agreeable to Secured Party.
6. Any sums advanced by Secured Party for Insurance, taxes,
repairs or construction as provided in Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 shall be
secured by this Deed of Trust as advances made to protect the Property
and shall be payable by Debtor to Secured Party, with interest at the
rate specified in the note representing the primary indebtedness,
within thirty days following written demand for payment sent by
Secured Party to Debtor by certified mail. Receipts for insurance
premiums, taxes and repair or construction costs for which Secured
Party has made payment shall serve as conclusive evidence thereof.
7. As additional security Debtor hereby assigns to Secured Party
all rents accruing on the Property. Debtor shall have the right to
collect and retain the rents as long as Debtor is not in default as
provided in Paragraph 9. In the event of default, Secured Party in

fees for a receiver and an attorney, commissions to rental agents,
repairs and other necessary related expenses and then to payments on
the indebtedness.
8. This Deed of Trust (indenture) may not be assumed by any buyer

(including, but not limited to possession) will constitute a default
and Secured Party may accelerate the entire balance of the indebtedness.

Secured Party shall send Debtor notice of acceleration by certified
mail. Such notice shall provide a period of thirty days from the date
of mailing within which Debtor may pay the indebtedness in full. If
Debtor fails to pay such indebtedness prior to the expiration of
thirty days. Secured Party may, without further notice to Debtor,
invoke any remedies set forth in this Deed of Trust.

Trust if Debtor (a) shall fail to comply with any of Debtor's

be due by contractual agreement or by acceleration, (c) shall become
bankrupt or insolvent or be placed in receivership, (d) shall, if a
corporation, a partnership or an unincorporated association be
dissolved voluntarily or involuntarily, or (e) if Secured Party in
good faith deems itself insecure and its prospect of repayment

the original or any successor Trustee, or to Debtor, and without
regard to the willingness or inability of any such Trustee to execute
