<br />shall mean each and every Trustor. This means that each Trustor signing below is responsible for all obligations in this Deed of Trust.
<br />Where any one or more of the parties is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity, it is not necessary for
<br />Lender to inquire into the powers of any of the officers, directors, partners, members, or other agents acting or purporting to act on
<br />the entity's behalf, and any obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall, be guaranteed
<br />under this Deed of Trust.
<br />No Waiver by Lender. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Deed of Trust unless such waiver is given in
<br />writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such
<br />right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Deed of Trust shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's
<br />right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Deed of Trust. No prior waiver by
<br />Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Trustor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of
<br />Trustor's obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Deed of Trust, the granting
<br />of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is
<br />required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
<br />Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Deed of Trust to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to
<br />any person or circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other person
<br />or circumstance. If feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If
<br />the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Deed of Trust. Unless otherwise required by
<br />law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Deed of Trust shall not affect the legality, validity or
<br />enforceability of any other provision of this Deed of Trust.
<br />Successors and Assigns. Subject to any limitations stated in this Deed of Trust on transfer of Trustor's interest, this Deed of Trust
<br />shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns. If ownership of the Property becomes
<br />vested in a person other than Trustor, Lender, without notice to Trustor, may deal with Trustor's successors with reference to this
<br />Deed of Trust and the Indebtedness by way of forbearance or extension without releasing Trustor from the obligations of this Deed of
<br />Trust or liability under the Indebtedness.
