Additionally, Trustor shall maintain such other insurance, including but not limited to hazard, business interruption, and boiler insurance, as Lender may reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Trustor be required to provide hazard insurance in excess of the replacement value of the Improvements on the Real Property. Policies shall be written in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender. Trustor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lender. Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Trustor or any other person. Should the Real Property at any time become located in an area designated by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area, Trustor agrees to obtain and maintain Federal Flood Insurance for the full unpaid principal balance of the loan and any prior liens on the property securing the loan, up to the maximum policy limits set under the National Flood Insurance Program, or as otherwise required by Lender, and to maintain such insurance for the term of the loan. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Trustor shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the Property. Lender may make proof of loss if Trustor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. If in Lender's sole judgment Lender's security interest in the Property has been impaired, Lender may, at its election, receive and retain the proceeds of any insurance and apply the proceeds to the reduction of the Indebtedness, payment of any lien affecting the Property, or the restoration and repair of the Property. If the proceeds are to be applied to restoration and repair, Trustor shall repair or replace the damaged or destroyed Improvements in a manner satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of such expenditure, pay or reimburse Trustor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration if Trustor is not in default under this Deed of Trust. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within 180 days after their receipt and which Lender has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Property shall be used first to pay any amount owing to Lender under this Deed of Trust, then to pay accrued interest, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the principal balance of the Indebtedness. If Lender holds any proceeds after payment in full of the Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be paid to Trustor as Trustor's interests may appear. UNEXPIRED INSURANCE AT SALE. Any unexpired insurance shall inure to the benefit of, and pass to, the purchaser of the Property covered by 4 04-13-2000 DEED OF TRUST PAGE 4 LOAN NO 0400706081 (CONTINUED) ================================================================================ this Deed of Trust at any trustee's sale or other sale held under the provisions of this Deed of Trust, or at any foreclosure sale of such Property.

If Trustor fails to comply with any provision of this Deed of Trust, or if any action or proceeding is commended that would materially affect Lender's interests in the Property, Lender on Trustor's behalf may, but shall not be required to, take any action that Lender deems appropriate. Any amount that Lender expends in so doing will bear interest at the rate provided for in the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Trustor. All such expenses, at Lender's option, will (a) be payable on demand, (b) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (i) the term of any applicable insurance policy or (ii) the remaining term of the Note, or (c) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity. This Deed of Trust also will secure payment of these amounts. The rights provided for in this paragraph shall be in addition to any other rights or any remedies to which Lender may be entitled on account of the default.
