The Land, the Improvements and all of the foregoing are collectively referred to in this Trust Deed as the “Property.”

         TRUSTORS AGREE WITH TRUSTEE AND BENEFICIARY AS FOLLOWS:

         1.     Obligations; Certain Proceedings.  Trustors shall timely pay and perform the Obligations and all obligations under any other encumbrance or lien on the Property. Trustors shall maintain this Trust Deed as a valid lien on, and security interest in, the Property of equal priority to that created by this Trust Deed, shall preserve and protect Trustors’ interests in the Property and the interests of Trustee and Beneficiary under this Trust Deed, and shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding which may affect the Property or the obligations of Trustors or the interests of Trustee or Beneficiary under this Trust Deed. 

         2.     Maintenance and Use.  Trustors shall occupy, establish and use the Property as Trustors’ principal residence within sixty days after this execution of this Trust Deed. Trustors shall (a) maintain the Property in good condition and repair, (b) comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, covenants, conditions and restrictions relating to the Property, (c) not permit nuisances to exist or commit or permit waste in or on the Property, (d) promptly complete in a good and workmanlike manner any Improvements which may be constructed, and promptly restore and repair in like manner any Improvements which may be damaged or destroyed, (e) preserve and extend all rights, licenses and permits (including, without limitation, zoning variances, special exceptions, special permits and non-conforming uses) which are applicable to the Property, and (f) immediately on discovery, clean up all hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, pollutants and contaminants located on the Property. Trustors shall do or refrain from doing any act which, from the character or use of the Property, is reasonably necessary to protect and preserve the fair market value of the Property, any specific enumerations in this Trust Deed not limiting such general obligation. Trustors shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Trustee and Beneficiary from and against all liabilities, claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, cleanup costs and attorneys’ fees) directly or indirectly arising out of, related to or connected with any hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, pollutants or contaminants located on the Property. The liability of Trustors under the indemnity set forth in the preceding sentence shall arise on the discovery of an unacceptable environmental condition and shall survive the exercise of the power of sale, foreclosure of this Trust Deed as a mortgage or any other event. (As used in this Trust Deed, the terms “hazardous substances,” “hazardous wastes,” “pollutants” and “contaminants” mean any substances, wastes, pollutants or contaminants included within those respective terms under any law, ordinance, rule or regulation, whether now existing or enacted or amended after the date of this Trust Deed.)

         3.     Development.  Without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, Trustors shall not do any of the following: (a) make any material change to the Property or to the use of the Property; (c) initiate or support any zoning reclassification of the Property, seek any variance under existing zoning ordinances applicable to the Property or use or permit the use of the Property in a manner which would be a nonconforming use under applicable zoning ordinances; (d) impose any covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or rights-of-way on the Property, execute or file any subdivision plat affecting the Property or consent to the annexation of the Property to any municipality; or (e) permit the Property to be used by any person in such manner as might make possible a claim of adverse usage or possession or of implied dedication or easement.

         4.     Payment of Certain Impositions.  Trustors shall pay when due all taxes, assessments and charges relating to or levied against the Property, including, without limitation, real and personal property taxes, general and special assessments, utility charges, mechanics’ and materialmen’s charges, and charges arising from any covenants, conditions or restrictions relating to the Property.  Trustors shall also pay to Beneficiary the amount of all taxes, assessments and charges which may be levied by any governmental authority on this Trust Deed, the Obligations or Beneficiary by reason of the interest of Beneficiary under this Trust Deed.  Upon the request of Beneficiary, Trustors shall deliver to Beneficiary official receipts of the appropriate taxing or other authority or other proof satisfactory to Beneficiary within ten (10) days after the date any such taxes, assessments or charges are due and payable, evidencing the payment of such taxes, assessments or charges.  Trustors may contest in good faith the validity of any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien. 

         5.     Insurance.  Trustors shall maintain insurance policies (collectively, the “Policies”) with respect to the Property, in amounts and forms and with deductibles acceptable to Beneficiary, providing hazard insurance insuring against fire, extended coverage risks and such other risks as Beneficiary may require, including, without limitation, the risk of damage caused by earthquake and flooding, with replacement cost coverage and agreed value endorsement. The hazard insurance policy shall contain a standard lender’s loss payable endorsement, in favor of and in a form acceptable to Beneficiary.  Beneficiary shall be named as an additional insured under the liability insurance policy, and such insurance shall be primary and non-contributing in the event of loss with any other insurance Beneficiary may carry.  The insurers concerned shall agree that the coverage under the Policies will not be modified or canceled unless at least thirty (30) days advance written notice of the proposed modification or cancellation has been given to Beneficiary.  Beneficiary may review the Policies from time to time and require that the same be modified so as to protect Beneficiary’s interests.  Such insurance shall be carried with companies approved by Beneficiary. Trustors shall deliver to Beneficiary (at the option of Beneficiary) either the originals of the Policies or certificates duly executed by the insurers evidencing such insurance coverage.  All renewal and replacement policies must be delivered to Beneficiary at least fifteen (15) days before the expiration of the old policies. 

         6.     Reserve.  On written notice by Beneficiary to Trustors, Trustors shall pay to Beneficiary on the first day of each month an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of all taxes, assessments and insurance premiums required to be paid under this Trust Deed by Trustors, in such manner as to provide Beneficiary with sufficient funds to pay such taxes, assessments and premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates.  Such funds may be commingled with other funds of Beneficiary, shall not bear interest and shall periodically be used by Beneficiary for the payment of such taxes, assessments and premiums.  Nothing contained in this Trust Deed shall cause Beneficiary to be deemed a trustee of such funds or to be obligated to pay any amounts in excess of such funds.  If such funds are insufficient to pay all of such taxes, assessments and premiums, Trustors shall immediately pay the deficiency to Beneficiary.

         7.     Condemnation or Damage.  Trustors shall immediately give written notice to Beneficiary of the institution of any proceedings for the taking of the Property or of the occurrence of any damage to the Property, and Beneficiary shall receive all compensation, awards and insurance and other proceeds (collectively, the “Proceeds”) distributed in connection with such taking or damage.  Each person concerned is authorized and directed to make payments for such taking or damage directly to Beneficiary, instead of to Beneficiary and Trustors jointly.  Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceeding and make any compromise or settlement in connection with such taking or damage.  After deducting from the Proceeds all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Beneficiary in connection with such action, proceeding, compromise or settlement, Beneficiary may use the Proceeds to reduce the Obligations (whether or not then due) or to restore or repair the Property damaged.  If Beneficiary determines to use the Proceeds for restoration and repair of the Property, the Proceeds shall be made available to Trustors for use in restoring or repairing the Property in accordance with plans and specifications and construction arrangements approved by Beneficiary.  Beneficiary or its nominee shall hold the Proceeds and from time to time shall, on compliance with such conditions or requirements as may be imposed by Beneficiary, disburse portions of the Proceeds to Trustors or to those entitled to the Proceeds as progress is made on such restoration and repair.  If any of the Proceeds remain after the entire costs of such restoration and repair have been paid, Beneficiary may use such remaining Proceeds to reduce the Obligations (whether or not then due) or may remit the same to Trustors. 

         8.     Assignment of Leases and Rents.  In the event Beneficiary consents to Trustors leasing or renting the Property in the future, Trustors absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally assign to Beneficiary all future leases, subleases and rental agreements covering the Property (collectively, the “Leases”), and all rents, issues, profits and income (including security deposits) arising from the Property (collectively, the “Rents”), together with the right, power and authority to enforce the Leases, collect the Rents and apply the Rents to any of the Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Trust Deed to the contrary, the assignment set forth in the preceding sentence is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional present assignment from Trustors to Beneficiary and not merely the passing of a security interest.  Trustors may, on behalf of Beneficiary, enforce the Leases and collect the Rents (but not more than one (1) month in advance) at any time a default does not exist under this Trust Deed and an event or condition does not exist which with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would result in a default under this Trust Deed. Trustors shall hold the Rents so collected in trust for Beneficiary and shall use so much of the Rents as is required for the satisfaction of the Obligations. On the occurrence of a default under this Trust Deed or an event or condition which with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would result in a default under this Trust Deed, the right of Trustors to enforce the Leases and collect the Rents shall automatically terminate, and Trustors shall immediately pay to Beneficiary all of the Rents then held by Trustors. All tenants, lessees and other persons having any obligation to make any payment in connection with the Property are authorized and directed to make such payment directly to Beneficiary on the demand of Beneficiary. The receipt by Beneficiary of such payment shall be a good and sufficient discharge of the obligation of the tenant, lessee or other person concerned to make the payment connected with the amount so received by Beneficiary. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall be construed to make Beneficiary a mortgagee in possession or make Beneficiary responsible for any matters relating to the Property or the Leases.

         9.     Transfers and Encumbrances.  Without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, which may be withheld by Beneficiary in its sole discretion, Trustors shall not, directly or indirectly, do any of the following: (a) sell, convey, assign or transfer the Property, the Leases or the Rents, or contract to do so, voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law; or (b) lease, rent or otherwise surrender possession of the Property, or contract to do so, voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law.  Beneficiary’s consent to one or more of such transactions shall not be a waiver of the right to require such consent with respect to any subsequent or successive transactions.  Such consent of Beneficiary may be conditioned on satisfaction of such requirements as Beneficiary may impose. 

10.     Mortgagee Title Insurance. At the request of Beneficiary, Trustors shall provide to Beneficiary a policy of title insurance insuring the lien of this Trust Deed, in form and amount, and issued by a company, acceptable to Beneficiary.

         11.     Representations and Warranties.  Trustors covenant with, and represent and warrant to, Trustee and Beneficiary that all of the following statements are true as of the date of this Trust Deed and will remain true: (a) Trustors are lawfully seized of indefeasible fee simple marketable title to the Property; (b) this Trust Deed has been duly executed by Trustors, and the Property has been duly conveyed to Trustee under this Trust Deed; (c) the Property is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and interests of third parties not approved in writing by Beneficiary; (d) Trustors will defend title to the Property against all claims and demands; (e) all of the Personal Property has been paid for in full, is owned solely by Trustors and is not used and was not bought for personal, family or household purposes; and (f) all obligations incurred by Trustors in connection with or which relate to the Property are current and without default.

         12.     Default.  Trustors shall be in default under this Trust Deed on the occurrence of any of the following: (a) Trustors fail to timely pay or perform any of the Obligations; (b) an event of default occurs under any lien or encumbrance affecting the Property; (c) Trustors or any guarantor of the Obligations (i) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or files a petition or answer seeking or acquiescing in a reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, (ii) consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of Trustors or such guarantor, the Property or the Rents, (iii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iv) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (d) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against Trustors or such guarantor seeking a reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors; (e) a trustee, receiver or liquidator of Trustors, such guarantor, the Property or the Rents is appointed without the consent or acquiescence of Trustors or such guarantor; (f) a writ of execution, attachment or similar process is issued or levied against the Property or the Rents or a judgment involving monetary damages is entered against Trustors which becomes a lien on the Property or the Rents; (g) any representation or warranty contained in this Trust Deed or in any other instrument executed by Trustors is or becomes untrue; or (h) a change occurs in the condition or affairs (financial or otherwise) of Trustors or such guarantor which materially impairs Beneficiary’s security or increases its risks. 

         13.     Remedies.  On a default under this Trust Deed, Trustee or Beneficiary may (but is not obligated to) do any one or more of the following: (a) without notice or demand on Trustors and without releasing Trustors from any of the Obligations, pay or perform a portion or all of the Obligations that Trustors have failed to pay or perform, and Trustors shall immediately reimburse Trustee and Beneficiary for all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such payment or performance, with interest on such costs and expenses at fifteen percent (15%) per annum (the “Default Rate”), both before and after judgment; (b) declare all of the Obligations immediately due and payable and charge interest on the Obligations then outstanding at the Default Rate, both before and after judgment; (c) exercise the power of sale under applicable law; (d) foreclose this Trust Deed in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of mortgages on real property; (e) exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether now existing or created after the date of this Trust Deed); (f) take possession or appoint a receiver to take possession of and (without liability or obligation) (i) hold, occupy, operate, use, maintain, repair and conserve the value of the Property, (ii) make, modify, enforce and terminate the Leases, (iii) collect the Rents and (after deducting from the Rents maintenance and operating expenses, including reasonable management fees) apply the same to the Obligations, and (iv) exercise such other powers as may be fixed by the court; (g) offset the Obligations against any amounts owed by Beneficiary to Trustors and apply toward the Obligations all funds of Trustors which Beneficiary may have in its possession or under its control; (h) if permitted by applicable law, sue on the Note; or (i) exercise any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.  A receiver appointed pursuant to this Paragraph may be appointed without notice to Trustors, and without regard to whether the Property is in danger of being lost, removed or materially injured, whether the Property or any other security is sufficient to discharge the Obligations or whether Beneficiary forecloses this Trust Deed judicially or nonjudicially, it being the intention of Trustors to authorize the appointment of a receiver when Trustors are in default under this Trust Deed and Beneficiary has requested the appointment of a receiver.  Trustors consent to the appointment of the particular person (including an officer, director, partner or employee, as the case may be, of Beneficiary) designated by Beneficiary as “receiver” and waive any right to suggest or nominate any person as receiver in opposition to the person designated by Beneficiary.  Neither the entering on and taking possession of the Property nor the collection and application of the Rents as aforesaid shall cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Trust Deed, invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice of default or operate to postpone or suspend any of the Obligations.  No remedy provided in this Trust Deed shall be exclusive of any other remedy at law or in equity (whether now existing or created after the date of this Trust Deed), and all remedies under this Trust Deed may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively from time to time. The failure on the part of Trustee or Beneficiary to promptly enforce any right under this Trust Deed shall not operate as a waiver of such right, and the waiver of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent or other default.

         14.     Power of Sale; Foreclosure.  The procedures relating to the exercise of the power of sale or foreclosure of this Trust Deed as a mortgage shall be governed by then existing law, or to the extent such procedures are not covered by then existing law, by law existing as of the date of this Trust Deed.  Following foreclosure of this Trust Deed as a mortgage, the purchaser at the sale held pursuant to judicial decree shall be entitled to possession of the Property during any period of redemption.  If a deficiency remains after application of the proceeds of sale following default under this Trust Deed (whether such sale is held pursuant to the exercise of the power of sale or judicial decree), Trustors shall pay the same to Beneficiary immediately on determination of the amount of such deficiency.  Such deficiency shall bear interest at the Default Rate, both before and after judgment.

         15.     Security Agreement; Fixture Filing.  This Trust Deed constitutes a security agreement with respect to all personal property and fixtures in which Beneficiary is granted a security interest under this Trust Deed, and Beneficiary shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether now existing or created after the date of this Trust Deed), as well as any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. This Trust Deed, with Trustors, as debtor, and Beneficiary, as secured party, also constitutes a fixture filing with respect to any part of the Property which is or may become a fixture. The record owners of the Property are the Trustors. Beneficiary is not a seller or purchase money lender of the Personal Property. Trustors shall immediately notify Beneficiary if the name or identity of Trustors are changed, or if the address of Trustors is changed to an address different from the address for Trustors set forth in the first paragraph of this Trust Deed. With respect to any instrument or chattel paper covered by this Trust Deed, neither Trustee nor Beneficiary need take any steps to preserve rights against prior parties. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement.

         16.     Waiver.  Trustors waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right (a) to obtain a partial release of the Property from the lien of this Trust Deed by paying less than all of the Obligations, (b) to partially redeem the Property by paying less than the amount necessary to effect redemption in full, (c) to have the Property or any other property securing the Note marshalled on the foreclosure of the lien of this Trust Deed, and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the Property and such other property sold as an entirety, (d) to direct the order of the sale of the Property or any other property securing the Note, and agrees that Beneficiary may exhaust the security given for the Note in any order, and (e) relating to procedural or substantive limitations on the recovery of any deficiency, such as those set forth in Section 57-1-32 of the Utah Code Ann. (1953), as amended, including, without limitation, any requirement that Trustee or Beneficiary establish a deficiency in connection with the indebtedness secured by this Trust Deed prior to the time that all of the security given for payment of the Note has been exhausted.  Trustors further waive and relinquish all exemptions and homestead rights which may exist with respect to the Property, and agrees not to file a declaration of homestead with respect to the Property.

         17.     Expenses and Fees.  Trustors shall pay all costs, expenses and fees (including, without limitation, trustee’s and attorneys’ fees) which are incurred by Trustee or Beneficiary in connection with the Obligations, this Trust Deed, the servicing of the indebtedness secured by this Trust Deed and the enforcement or protection of the rights and interests of Trustee or Beneficiary under this Trust Deed, including, without limitation, the monitoring of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, with interest on such costs, expenses and fees at the Default Rate, both before and after judgment.

         18.     Further Assurances.  Trustors shall at any time and from time to time, on request of Beneficiary, take or cause to be taken any action, and execute, acknowledge, deliver or record any further instruments, which Beneficiary deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Trust Deed and to perfect and preserve the lien and security interest intended to be created and preserved in the Property.

         19.    Request for Notices. Trustors request that a copy of any notice of default and a copy of any notice of sale under this Trust Deed be mailed to Trustors at the address of Trustors set forth in the first paragraph of this Trust Deed.

         20.     Miscellaneous.  Time is of the essence of this Trust Deed.  This Trust Deed shall be binding on Trustors and shall inure to the benefit of Trustee and Beneficiary and their respective successors and assigns. The liability of each person executing this Trust Deed as Trustors shall be joint and several.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Trust Deed shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.  This Trust Deed shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah. Paragraph captions and defined terms in this Trust Deed are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Trust Deed.  All pronouns shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter or singular or plural, as the identity of the parties may require.

         BY SIGNING BELOW, TRUSTORS accept and agree to the terms and covenants contained in this Trust Deed and in any rider(s) executed by Trustors and recorded with it.
