1.4            Delivery of Policies, Payment of Premiums .

(a)           At Beneficiary’s option all policies of insurance shall either have attached thereto a lender’s loss payable endorsement for the benefit of Beneficiary in form satisfactory to Beneficiary or shall name Beneficiary as an additional insured.  Trustor shall furnish Beneficiary with certificates of insurance for each required policy setting forth the coverage, the limits of liability, the name of the carrier, the policy number and the period of coverage.  If Beneficiary consents, Trustor may provide any of the required insurance through blanket policies carried by Trustor and covering more than one location, or by policies procured by a tenant or other party holding under Trustor; provided, however, all such policies shall meet the requirements referred to in Section 1.3 .  At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each required policy, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary of the payment of premium and the renewal or replacement of such policy continuing insurance in form as required by this Deed of Trust.  All such policies shall contain a provision that, notwithstanding any contrary agreement between Trustor and insurance company, such policies will not be  canceled, allowed to lapse without renewal, surrendered or materially amended, which term shall include any reduction in the scope or limits of coverage, without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Beneficiary.

(b)           Trustor shall not be excused from repairing or maintaining the Trust Estate as provided in Section 1.2 hereof or restoring all damage or destruction to the Trust Estate, regardless of whether or not there are insurance proceeds available to Trustor or whether any such proceeds are sufficient in amount, and the application or release by Beneficiary of any insurance proceeds shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Deed of Trust or invalidate any act done pursuant to such default or notice of default.

(d)           Trustor shall have the right before any delinquency occurs to contest or object to the amount or validity of any Imposition by appropriate proceedings, but this shall not be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying, or extending Trustor’s covenant to pay any such Imposition at the time and in the manner provided in this Section 1.8 , unless Trustor has given prior written notice to Beneficiary of Trustor’s intent to so contest or object to an Imposition, and unless, in Beneficiary’s absolute and sole discretion, (i) Trustor shall demonstrate to Beneficiary’s satisfaction that the proceedings to be initiated by Trustor shall conclusively operate to prevent the sale of the Trust Estate or any part thereof or interest therein to satisfy such Imposition prior to final determination of such proceedings, (ii) Trustor shall furnish a good and sufficient bond or surety as requested by and satisfactory to Beneficiary, or (iii) Trustor shall demonstrate to Beneficiary’s satisfaction that Trustor has provided a good and sufficient undertaking as may be required or permitted by law to accomplish a stay of any such sale.

(e)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon request by Beneficiary, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary an initial cash deposit in an amount adequate to pay all Impositions for the ensuing tax fiscal year and shall thereafter continue to deposit with Beneficiary, in monthly installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the sum of the annual Impositions reasonably estimated by Beneficiary, for the purpose of paying the installment of Impositions next due (funds deposited for this purpose are referred to as “ Impositions Impounds ”).  In such event, Trustor further agrees to cause all bills, statements, or other documents relating to Impositions to be sent or mailed directly to Beneficiary.  Upon receipt of such bills, statements, or other documents, and providing there are sufficient Impositions Impounds, Beneficiary shall timely pay such amounts as may be due thereunder out of the Impositions Impounds.  If at any time and for any reason the Impositions Impounds are or will be insufficient to pay such amounts as may then or subsequently be due, Beneficiary may notify Trustor and upon such notice Trustor shall deposit immediately an amount equal to such deficiency with Beneficiary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall cause Beneficiary to be deemed a trustee of Impositions Impounds or to be obligated to pay any amounts in excess of the amount of funds deposited with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 1.8(e) Beneficiary may commingle Impositions Impounds with its own funds and shall not be obligated to pay any interest on any Impositions Impounds.  Beneficiary may reserve for future payment of Impositions such portion of Impositions Impounds as Beneficiary may in its absolute and sole discretion deem proper.  If Trustor fails to deposit with Beneficiary sums sufficient to fully pay such Impositions at least thirty (30) days before delinquency thereof, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s election, but without any obligation so to do, advance any amounts required to make up the deficiency, which advances, if any, shall be secured hereby and shall be repayable to Beneficiary upon demand together with interest thereon at the Agreed Rate from the date of such advance, or at the option of Beneficiary the latter may, without making any advance whatever, apply any Impositions Impounds held by it upon any of the Obligations in such order as Beneficiary may determine, notwithstanding that such Obligations may not yet be due.

(f)           Trustor shall not initiate or suffer to occur or exist the joint assessment of any real and personal property included in the Trust Estate or any other procedure whereby the lien of real property taxes and the lien of personal property taxes shall be assessed, levied, or charged to the Trust Estate as a single lien.
