with the following legal description:

________

TOGETHER WITH all the improvements now or hereafter erected on the Property, and all easements, appurtenances, and fixtures now or hereafter a part of the Property. All replacements and additions will also be covered by this Trust.

BORROWER COVENANTS that Borrower is the legal owner of the Property hereby conveyed and has the right to grant and convey the Property and that the Property is unencumbered (including mortgages, leases, servitudes, and all other relevant third party interests in the property), except for encumbrances of record. Borrower further warrants and will defend generally the title to the Property against all claims and demands, subject to any encumbrances of record.

To protect the security of this Deed of Trust, the Parties do hereby agree as follows:

I. PAYMENT.

1. The Borrower, for value received, promises to pay to the Lender the Principal Amount and accrued interest and any applicable fees on the terms outlined in this Trust or in any amendment, extension, or renewal of the Trust and any additional amounts secured by this Trust on the terms elsewhere provided for such debts and liabilities.

2. The Borrower agrees to pay the Principal Amount with interest before and after maturity and before and after default at the rate of ________% (the "Interest Rate"). The Interest Rate will be calculated from the date this trust begins on ________ (the "Adjustment Date") and accrues until the whole of the Principal Amount is paid.

3. The Principal Amount will be repaid on the following terms:

a. It is agreed that a payment in the amount of $________ (________) will be surrendered to the Lender annually on ________ of each year.

b. The Borrower will continue to make payments according to this schedule until ________ (the "Due Date"), at which point the Borrower will be required to pay a balloon payment of $________ (________), which constitutes the remaining balance of the Principal Amountand accrued interest due on the Principal Amount.

c. THE BORROWER UNDERSTANDS THAT THE PAYMENT OF THE ABOVE INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS MAY NOT FULL AMORTIZE THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THE NOTE, AND THEREFORE, A BALLOON PAYMENT MAY BE DUE ON THE DUE DATE.

d. Unpaid Principal Amount after the Due Date listed above shall accrue interest at a rate of ________% annually until paid in full.

e. All payments shall be applied first to payment of accrued interest and any remainder shall be applied to payment of Principal Amount.

II. FUNDS FOR ESCROW ITEMS.

4. The Borrower will pay to Lender, on the day payment is due under this Trust, until the Principal Amount is paid in full, a sum (the "Funds") to provide for payment for: (a) any taxes, assessments, or other items which can take priority over this Trust as a lien or encumbrance on the Property; (b) lease payments on the Property, if any; (c) premiums for any and all insurance, including Mortgage Insurance required by the Lender. These items will be called "Escrow Items."

5. The Borrower must notify the Lender of all amounts to be paid under this Section. If the Lender requires, the Borrower must provide receipts evidencing such payments to the Lender. If the Borrower does not make timely payments, the Lender can, at their discretion, make any and all past due payments for Escrow Items and the Borrower will be obligated to repay the Lender for any such amount. The Lender may waive the Borrower's obligation to pay the Lender for any and all Escrow Items at any time by providing written notice to the Borrower. If such waiver occurs, the Borrower may pay directly, when and where payable, the amounts due for any and all Escrow Items. If the Borrower is obligated to pay Escrow Items directly, and the Borrower fails to make payments on time, then the Lender may exercise its rights under this Section and pay for any such amounts and Borrower will be obligated to repay Lender for any such amount.

6. The Borrower will collect and hold the Funds in accordance with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (the "RESPA"). The Lender will estimate the amount of Funds due in accordance with Applicable Law. If there is a surplus of Funds held in escrow, as defined under RESPA, the Lender must provide to Borrower the excess funds in accordance with RESPA. If there is a shortage or deficiency of Funds held in escrow, as defined under RESPA, Lender must notify Borrower in writing and Borrower must pay to Lender the amount necessary to make up the shortage or deficiency.

7. Upon payment in full of all Funds relating to Escrow Items, Lender will promptly refund to Borrower any excess Funds held by Lender.

III. OBLIGATION TO PAY.

8. The Borrower agrees to pay all moneys payable pursuant to this Trust and all additional amounts secured by this Trust without abatement, set-off, or counterclaim.

9. Should the Borrower make any claims against the Lender either initially or by way of abatement, set-off, or counterclaim, the Borrower agrees that any such claim will not reduce or postpone their obligation to make all payments as provided by this Trust.

IV. PREPAYMENT.

10. When not in default, the Borrower may prepay, without penalty, all or a portion of the Principal Amount and any accrued interest earlier than it is due (i.e. make payment prior to the time that it is due).

11. Partial prepayment will not postpone the due date of any subsequent payment or change the payment amount, unless the Lender otherwise agrees in writing.

12. Prepayments will first be applied to any accrued interest calculated at the Interest Rate, and second to the Principal Amount.

V. ADDITIONAL CHARGES AND ENCUMBRANCES.

13. The Borrower must pay all taxes, assessments, charges, fines, and all other impositions attributable to the Property and all trusts, liens, and other encumbrances on the Property.

14. To the extent that these items are Escrow Items, the Borrower will pay them, in the manner provided in the Section titled "FUNDS FOR ESCROW ITEMS."

VI. RELEASE AND RECONVEYANCE.

15. Upon payment of all sums secured by this Trust, including the Principal Amountand any accrued interest, the Lender will request the Trustee to reconvey the Property and must surrender this Trust and the Note evidencing debt secured by this Trust to Borrower.

16. Trustee must reconvey the Property without warranty to the person or persons legally entitled to it. Such person or persons shall pay a recordation cost.

17. The Lender may charge such person or persons a fee for reconveying the Property, but only if the fee is paid to a third party, such as the Trustee, for services rendered and the charging of the fee is permitted under Applicable Law.

VII. NO SALE WITHOUT CONSENT.

18. The Trustee will not sell, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Property or any interest in the Property, without the Borrower's and Lender's prior written consent as evidenced by this Deed and its terms and conditions.

VIII. PROPERTY INSURANCE.

19. The Borrower must keep the improvements now existing or hereafter erected on the Property insured against loss by fire, hazards included within the term "extended coverage," and any other hazards including, but not limited to, earthquakes and floods, for which the Lender requires insurance. The insurance carrier providing the insurance will be chosen by the Borrower. However, the Lender will have the right to disapprove the Borrower's choice, which right may not be unreasonable.

20. If the Borrower fails to maintain any of the coverage described above, then Lender may obtain insurance coverage, at Lender's discretion and Borrower's expense. Borrower acknowledges that the cost of the insurance coverage so obtained might significantly exceed the cost of the insurance that the Borrower could have obtained. However, any amounts paid by Lender will become additional debt of the Borrower and secured by this Trust. The amounts paid by the Lender will bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date of payment and will be payable, with such interest, upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment.

21. All insurance policies must include a standard mortgage and/or trust clause and will name Lender as mortgagee and/or as an additional loss payee, stating that any loss is payable to the Lender. Borrower further agrees to generally assign rights to insurance proceeds to the Lender up to the amount of the outstanding loan balance. If, at the request of the Lender, Borrower will provide Lender a copy of the insurance policy and all receipts of paid premiums and renewal notices.

22. In the event of loss, the Borrower must give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and to the Lender. Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree in writing, any insurance proceeds must be applied to restoration or repair of the Property, if the restoration or repair is economically feasible. If the restoration or repair is not economically feasible, the insurance proceeds will be applied to the remainder of this Trust, whether or not the balance of the Trust is then due, with the excess, if any, paid to the Borrower.

28. If at any time the Borrower is in default under this Trust, the Lender will have the right and authority to foreclose and force the sale of the Property without any judicial proceeding.

29. Any delay in the exercising of this right will not constitute a waiver to exercise this right at a later date should the Borrower remain in default or subsequently default again in the future.

XIV. REMEDIES.

30. The Lender will have the right to invoke all remedies permitted under Applicable Law, whether or not such remedies are expressly granted in this Trust, including but not limited to any foreclosure proceedings.

39. Headings to this Trust are for convenience only and shall not be construed to limit or otherwise affect the terms of this Trust.

40. In the event any provision of this Trust is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, then the Parties agree that such provision shall be deemed to be struck and the remainder of the Trust shall be enforced as if the struck provision were never included in the Trust.
