10.5 Attorneys' Fees and Costs. In any action or proceeding to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to enforce any right of Beneficiary or of Trustee, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary and Trustee all costs of such action or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys' fees. 10.6 Governing Law; Severability; Interpretation. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Trustor agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Deed of Trust shall be litigated exclusively in the jurisdiction where the Land is located (the "Property Jurisdiction"). The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all controversies which shall arise under or in relation to the City Documents. Trustor irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation, and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. If any provision of this Deed of Trust is held unenforceable or void, that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions, and shall in no way affect the validity of this Deed of Trust. The captions used in this Deed of Trust are for convenience only and are not intended to affect the interpretation or construction of the provisions herein contained. In this Deed of Trust, whenever the context so requires, the singular number includes the plural. 10.7 Waiver, Modification and Amendment. Any waiver by Beneficiary of any obligation of Trustor hereunder must be in writing, and no waiver shall be construed as a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be implied from any delay or failure by Beneficiary or Trustee to take action on account of any default of Trustor. Consent by Beneficiary or Trustee to any act or omission by Trustor shall not be construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission or to waive the requirement for Beneficiary's or Trustee's consent to be obtained in any future or other instance. No amendment to or modification of this Deed of Trust shall be effective unless and until such amendment or modification is in writing, executed by Trustor and Beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Beneficiary's acceptance of payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date shall not constitute a waiver by Beneficiary of its right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare default for failure so to pay. 10.8 Action by Beneficiary. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein, whenever any approval, notice, direction, or consent by the Beneficiary is required or permitted under this Agreement, such action shall be in writing, and such action may be given, made or taken by Beneficiary's City Manager or by any person who shall have been designated by Beneficiary's City Manager, without further approval by the governing board of Beneficiary. 10.9 Joint and Several Liability. If Trustor consists of more than one person or entity, each shall be jointly and severally liable for the faithful performance of all of Trustor's obligations under this Deed of Trust. 22 OAK #4825-3934-8270 vl
