SUBJECT REAL PROPERTY in Maricopa County, State of Arizona, described in the Legal Description
attached as Exhibit A (“Property”).
This Developer Deed of Trust and Assignment of Rents (“Developer Deed of Trust”) is made between the
Trustor, Trustee and Beneficiary above named.
WITNESSETH:  That Trustor irrevocably grants and conveys to Trustee in Trust, with Power of Sale, the
Property, together with: (1) all buildings, improvements and fixtures now or hereafter placed thereon; (2) all
existing leases, and all future leases executed with respect to such Property; (3) all rents, issues, profits and
income thereof (all of which are hereinafter called "Property Income"); (4) all classes of property now, or at
any time hereafter, attached to or used in any way in connection with the use, operation or occupancy of such
Property; (5) all property, rights, permits and privileges now or hereafter owned by Trustor or now or
hereafter appurtenant to such Property, which entitle Trustor or such Property to receive water or electrical
power for use thereon; all Property granted, transferred and assigned to Trustee and Trustor warrants that it
is well and truly seized of a good and marketable title in fee simple to the Property hereby conveyed; that the
title to Property conveyed by this Developer Deed of Trust is clear, free and unencumbered, and Trustor will
forever warrant and defend the same unto Beneficiary, its successors and assigns, against all claims
whatsoever;
SUBJECT, HOWEVER, to the right, power, and authority hereinafter given to and conferred upon
Beneficiary to collect and apply such Property income;

AND SUBJECT TO, any easements and restrictions listed in a schedule of exceptions to coverage in any title
insurance polity insuring Beneficiary's interest in the Property.
1.
For the Purpose of Securing:
1.1
Performance of each agreement of Trustor herein contained.
1.2
Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by promissory note or notes of even date herewith,
and any extension or renewal thereof, in the principal sum of $3,000,000.00 consisting of
funds executed by Trustor in favor of Beneficiary or order.
1.3
Payment of additional sums and interest thereon which may hereafter be loaned to Trustor,
or his successors or assigns, when evidenced by a promissory note or notes that are secured
by this Deed of Trust.
2.
To Protect the Security of this Deed of Trust, Trustor covenants and agrees:
2.1
To keep the Property in good condition and repair; not to remove or demolish any building
thereon; to complete or restore promptly and in good and workmanlike manner any building
which may be constructed, damaged, or destroyed thereon, and to pay when due all claims
for labor performed and materials furnished therefore; to comply with all laws affecting said
property or requiring any alterations or improvements to be made thereon; not to commit or
permit waste thereof; not to commit, suffer, or permit any act upon said Property in
violation of law; and to do all other acts which from the character or use of the Property
may be reasonably necessary, the specific enumerations herein not excluding the general.
2.2
To keep all improvements now or hereafter erected on said Property continuously insured
against loss by fire or other hazards specified by Beneficiary in an amount not less than the
total obligation secured hereby. All policies will be held by Beneficiary and be in such
companies as Beneficiary may approve and have loss payable first to Beneficiary, as his
interest may appear and then to Trustor.  The amount collected under any insurance policy
may be applied upon any indebtedness hereby secured and in such order as Beneficiary may
determine or at option of Beneficiary the entire amount so collected or any part thereof may
be released to Trustor. Such application or release will not cure or waive any default
hereunder nor cause discontinuance of any action that may have been or may thereafter be
taken by Beneficiary or Trustee because of such default.
2.3
To appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or
the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; and to pay all costs and expenses of
Beneficiary or Trustee, including cost of evidence of title and attorneys’ fees in a reasonable
sum, in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear or be
named, and in any suit brought by Beneficiary to enforce this Developer Deed of Trust.
2.4
To pay before delinquent, all taxes and assessments affecting said Property; when due, all
encumbrances, charges and liens, on said Property or any part thereof, which appear to be
prior or superior hereto; all costs, fees, and expenses of this Trust, including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the fees of Trustee for issuance of any Deed of
Partial Release and Partial Reconveyance or Deed of Release and Full Reconveyance and all
lawful charges, costs, and expenses in the event of reinstatement of, following default in, this
Deed of Trust or the obligations secured hereby.
2.5
Should Trustor fail to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, then
Beneficiary or Trustee may, but is without obligation to, and may without notice, make a
demand upon Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereof; to protect
the security hereof, authorize Beneficiary or Trustee to enter upon said Property for such
purposes; appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security
hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; pay, purchase, contest or

compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in the judgment of either appears to be
prior or superior hereto; and, in exercising any such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ
counsel, and pay his reasonable attorneys’ fees.  All amounts so paid, together with interest
thereon at the same rate as is provided for in the note secured by this Developer Deed of
Trust or at the highest legal rate, whichever is greater, will be part of the debt secured by this
Developer Deed of Trust and a lien on the above Property.
2.6
To pay immediately and without demand all sums expended by Beneficiary or Trustee
pursuant to the provisions hereof, together with interest from date of expenditure at the
same rate as is provided for in the note secured by this Developer Deed of Trust or at the
highest legal rate, whichever is greater.  Any amounts so paid by Beneficiary or Trustee will
become part of the debt secured by this Developer Deed of Trust and a lien on the Property
and immediately due and payable at option of Beneficiary or Trustee.
3.
It is Mutually Agreed:
3.1
That any award of damages in connection with any condemnation or any taking, or for
injury to the Property by reason of public use, or for damages for private trespass or injury
thereto, is assigned and will be paid to Beneficiary as further security for all obligations
secured hereby (reserving unto Trustor, however, the right to sue therefore and the
ownership thereof, subject to this Developer Deed of Trust), and upon receipt of such
moneys Beneficiary may hold the same as such further security, or apply or release the same
in the same manner and with the same effect as above provided for disposition of proceeds
of fire or other insurance.
3.2
That by accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does
not waive its right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured
or to declare default for failure so to pay.  Without affecting the obligation of Trustor to pay
and perform as herein required; without affecting the personal liability of any person for
payment of the indebtedness secured hereby; and without affecting the lien or priority of lien
hereof on the Property, Beneficiary may, at its option, extend the time for payment of said
indebtedness, or any part thereof, reduce the payment thereon, release any person liable on
any of said indebtedness, accept a renewal note therefore, modify the terms of said
indebtedness, take or release other or additional security, or join in any extension or
subordination agreement.  Any such action by Beneficiary or the Trustee at Beneficiary's
direction may be taken without the consent of any junior lienholder and will not affect the
priority of this Developer Deed of Trust over any junior lien.  Time is of the essence for this
Deed of Trust.
3.3
That at any time or from time to time, and without notice, upon written request of
Beneficiary and presentation of this Developer Deed of Trust and said note(s) for
endorsement, and without liability therefore, and without affecting the personal liability of
any person for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and without affecting the
security hereof for the full amount secured hereby on all Property remaining subject hereto,
and without the necessity that any sum representing the value or any portion thereof of the
Property affected by the Trustee's action be credited on the indebtedness, the Trustee may:
(a) release and reconvey all or any part of said Property; (b) consent to the making and
recording, or either, of any map or plat of the Property or any part thereof; (c) join in
granting any easement thereon; (d) join in or consent to any extension agreement of any
agreement subordinating the lien, encumbrance or charge hereof.  Any Trustor signing this
Trust as a surety or accommodation party or that has subjected the Property to this Trust to
secure the debt of another, expressly waives the benefits of A.R.S. § 121641.
3.4
That upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured hereby have been paid,
and upon surrender of this Developer Deed of Trust and said note(s) to Trustee for

cancellation and retention, and upon payment of its fees, Trustee will release and reconvey,
without covenant or warranty, express or implied, the Property then held hereunder, the
recitals in such reconveyance, of any matters or facts, will be conclusive proof of the
truthfulness thereof.  The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as "the person or
persons legally entitled thereto."
3.5
That as additional security, Trustor hereby gives to and confers upon Beneficiary the right,
power, and authority, during the continuance of this Trust, to collect the Property Income,
reserving to Trustor the right, prior to any default by Trustor in payment of any
indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any agreement hereunder, to collect and
retain such property income as it becomes due and payable.  Upon any such default
Beneficiary may at any time, without notice either by person, by agent, or by receiver to be
appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the
indebtedness hereby secured or the solvency of the Trustor, enter upon and take possession
of said Property or any part thereof, in his own name sue for or otherwise collect such
Property Income, including that past due and unpaid and apply the same, less costs and
expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorney's fees of Beneficiary and
Trustee, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as Beneficiary may
determine.  The entering upon and taking possession of said Property, the collection of such
Property Income, and the application thereof as aforesaid, will not cure or waive any default
or notice of Trustee's sale hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
Beneficiary will expressly have all rights provided for in A.R.S. §§ 33702(B) and 33807.
3.6
That upon default by Trustor in the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in
performance of any agreement hereunder, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby
immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of written notice thereof, setting forth
the nature thereof, and of election to cause to be sold the Property under this Developer
Deed of Trust.  Beneficiary also will deposit with Trustee this Developer Deed of Trust, said
note(s), and all documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby.
3.7
Trustee will record and give notice of any Trustee's sale in the manner required by law, and
after the lapse of such time as may then be required by law, Trustee will sell, in the manner
required by law, said property at public auction at the time and place fixed by it in said notice
of Trustee's sale to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable
at time of sale. Trustee, at its sole discretion, may postpone or continue the Trustee’s sale
from time to time by giving notice of postponement or continuance by public declaration at
the time and place last appointed for the sale.  Trustee will deliver to such purchaser its
Developer Deed of Trust conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or
warranty, expressed or implied.  Any persons, including Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may
purchase at such sale.  The purchaser at the Trustee's sale will be entitled to immediate
possession of the Property as against the Trustee or other persons in possession and will
have a right to the summary proceedings to obtain possession provided in Title 12, Chapter
8, Article 4, Arizona Revised Statues, together with costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
3.8
After deducting all costs, fees, and expenses of Trustee and of this Trust, including cost of
evidence of title in connection with sale and reasonable attorney's fees of Beneficiary and
Trustee, Trustee will apply the proceeds of sale to payment of:  all sums then secured hereby
and all other sums due under the terms hereof, with accrued interest; and the remainder, if
any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto, or as provided in A.R.S. § 33812.  To
the extent permitted by law, an action may be maintained by Beneficiary to recover a
deficiency judgment for any balance due hereunder.  In lieu of sale pursuant to the power of
sale conferred hereby, this Developer Deed of Trust may be foreclosed in the same manner
provided by law for the foreclosure of mortgages on real property.  Beneficiary will also have
all other rights and remedies available to it hereunder and at law or in equity.  All rights and

remedies will be cumulative.
3.9
That Beneficiary may appoint a successor Trustee in the manner prescribed by law.  Trustor
and Beneficiary authorize Trustee, in the event any demand or notice is made or tendered to
it concerning this Developer Deed of Trust or the Property, to hold any money and
documents and to withhold action or performance until an action will be brought in a court
of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights asserted or the property of the demand,
notice or action requested and Trustee will be without liability or responsibility for awaiting
such court action.   A Successor Trustee herein will without conveyance from the
predecessor Trustee, succeed to all the predecessor's title, estate, rights, powers, and duties.
Trustee may resign at any time by mailing or delivering notice thereof to Beneficiary and
Trustor and having so resigned will be relieved of all liability and responsibility to Trustor,
Beneficiary or otherwise hereunder.  "Trustee" herein will include all successor trustees.
Trustee will not be liable for any action taken in its discretion and in good faith, or upon
advice of counsel, or upon any information supplied or direction given by Beneficiary.
Unless Trustee is adjudged grossly negligent or guilty of intentional wrongdoing or breach of
contract, Trustor and Beneficiary will, upon demand, indemnify and hold harmless Trustee
against all costs, damages, attorneys’ fees, expenses and liabilities which it may incur or
sustain in connection with this Developer Deed of Trust or any foreclosure or sale hereof or
any court or other action or proceeding arising here from.
3.10
That this Developer Deed of Trust applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties
hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors and assigns.  The
term "Beneficiary" will mean the owner and holder of the note(s) secured hereby, whether or
not named as Beneficiary herein.
3.11
That Trustee accepts this Trust when this Developer Deed of Trust, duly executed and
acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law.  Trustee may but is not obligated
to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other deed of trust or of any action or
proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary, or Trustee will be a party, unless brought by
Trustee.
The undersigned Trustor requests that a copy of any notice of Trustee's sale hereunder be mailed to him at
his address set forth above.
