amount of nonusurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved,
charged, or received under law; any interest in excess of that maximum amount
shall be credited on the principal of the debt or, if that has been paid, refunded.
On any acceleration or required or permitted prepayment, any such excess shall
be canceled automatically as of the acceleration or prepayment or, if already paid,
credited on the principal of the debt or, if the principal of the debt has been paid,
refunded. This provision overrides other provisions in this and all other
instruments concerning the debt.
9. When the context requires, singular nouns and pronouns include the plural.
10. The term Note includes all sums secured by this deed of trust.
11. This deed of trust shall bind, inure to the benefit of, and be exercised by
successors in interest of all parties.

Maker.
13. If all or any part of the Property is sold, conveyed, leased for a period longer than
one (1) year, leased with the option to purchase, or otherwise sold (including
contract for deed), without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, then
Beneficiary may at its option declare the outstanding balance of the Note(s), plus
accrued interest to be immediately due and payable. The creation of a subordinate
lien, any sale thereunder, any deed under threat or order of condemnation, any
conveyance solely between Makers, the passage of title by reason of the death of
a Maker or by operation of law shall not be construed as a sale or conveyance of
the Property.
