Section 1.3 Security Agreement. This Security Instrument is both a real property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security Instrument, Borrower hereby grants to Lender and Trustee, as security for the Obligations, a security interest in the Personal Property and other collateral given as security for the Obligations (whether denominated as part of the Property or otherwise) to the extent that under Applicable Laws the same would be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, "UCC Collateral") to the full extent that the Personal Property and other UCC Collateral may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code. Some of the items of the Property are goods that are or will become fixtures. Borrower and Lender intend that, as to those goods, this Security Instrument shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing from the date of its filing for record in the real property records of the county in which the Property is situated. Information concerning the security interest created by this Security Instrument may be obtained from Lender, as secured party, at Lender's address stated in the opening paragraph hereof. The mailing address of the Borrower, as debtor, is Borrower's address stated in the opening paragraph hereof.

Section 1.4 Pledge of Monies Held. Borrower hereby grants a security interest in and pledges to Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Escrow Fund, Net Proceeds and condemnation awards or payments described in Section 3.4, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.

Section 1.5 Condition to Grant. TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto Trustee for and on behalf of Lender and to the use and benefit of Lender and Trustee, and the successors and assigns of Lender and Trustee, forever. Borrower shall forever warrant, defend and preserve the title and the validity and priority of the lien of this Security Instrument and shall forever warrant and defend the same to Lender and/or Trustee against the claims of all persons whomsoever;

IN TRUST, WITH POWER OF SALE, to secure payment to Lender of the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Security Instrument.

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if Borrower shall pay to Lender the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note and this Security Instrument, shall perform the Obligations as set forth in this Security Instrument and shall comply with each and every covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Note, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease, terminate and be void.

Article 2—Debt and Obligations Secured/Payment Covenants

Section 2.1 Debt. This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments and transfers made in Article 1 are given for the purpose of securing the payment of the following, in such order of priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion (the "Debt"):

(a) the indebtedness evidenced by the Note in lawful money of the United States of America;

(b) interest, default interest, late charges and other sums, as provided in the Loan Documents;

(d) all other monies agreed or provided to be paid by Borrower in the Loan Documents;

(e) all sums advanced pursuant to this Security Instrument to protect and preserve the Property and the lien and the security interest created hereby; and

(f) all sums advanced and costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Debt or any part thereof, any renewal, extension, modification, replacement, restatement or increase of or substitution for the Debt or any part thereof, or the acquisition or perfection of the security therefor, whether made or incurred at the request of Borrower or Lender.

Section 2.2 Payment of Debt. Borrower shall pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note and in this Security Instrument. Borrower's obligations for the payment of the Debt and the performance of all other obligations under the Loan Documents shall be referred to collectively as the "Obligations."

Section 2.3 Incorporation by Reference. All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in (a) the Note and (b) all and any of the documents other than the Note or this Security Instrument now or hereafter executed by Borrower and/or others and by or in favor of Lender, which wholly or partially secure or guaranty payment of the Note, or are otherwise executed and delivered in connection with the Loan (collectively such documents together with the Note and Security Instrument, the "Loan Documents") are hereby made a part of this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.

Article 3—Property Covenants

Borrower covenants and agrees that:

Section 3.1 Insurance.

(a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:

(i) Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability insurance on the so-called "occurrence" form, including bodily injury, death and property damage liability, insurance against any and all claims, including all legal liability to the extent insurable and imposed upon Lender and all court costs and legal fees and expenses, arising out of or connected with the possession, use, leasing, operation, maintenance or condition of the Property in such amounts as are generally available at commercially reasonable premiums and are generally required by institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Property but in any event for a limit per occurrence of at least $1,000,000 and an annual aggregate of at least $2,000,000. This requirement may be satisfied by a layering of Commercial General Liability, Umbrella and Excess Liability Policies, but in no event will the Commercial General Liability policy be written for an amount less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate for bodily injury and property damage liability.

(ii) Other Insurance. Such other insurance with respect to the Property or on any replacements or substitutions or additions or increased coverage limits as may from time to time be required by Lender against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of property similarly situated, including, without limitation, sinkhole, mine subsidence, earthquake and environmental insurance, due regard being given to the height and type of buildings, their construction, location, use and occupancy.

(b) All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.1(a) shall be for a term of not less than one (1) year and obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the "Policies" or in the singular, the "Policy"), and shall be issued by one or more other domestic primary insurer(s) having a general policy rating of A or better and a financial class of IX or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (or if a rating of A.M. Best Company Inc. is no longer available, a similar rating from a similar or successor service). All insurers providing insurance required by this Security Instrument shall be authorized and admitted to issue insurance in the state in which the Property is located. The Policy referred to in Subsection 3.1(a)(i) above shall name Lender as an additional insured and the Policies referred to in Subsection 3.1(a)(ii), if applicable, above shall provide that all proceeds be payable to Lender. All Policies shall contain (i) a provision that such Policies shall not be denied renewal, materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided), cancelled or terminated, nor shall they expire, without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lender in each instance; and (ii) include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for applicable premiums ("Insurance Premiums") against any mortgagee, loss payees, additional insureds and named insureds (other than Borrower). Evidence of insurance with respect to all renewal and replacement Policies shall be delivered to Lender not less than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration date of any of the Policies required to be maintained hereunder which evidence shall bear notations evidencing payment of Insurance Premiums. Originals or evidence of such replacement Policies shall be delivered to Lender promptly after Borrower's receipt thereof but in any case within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof and not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the termination of the Policies previously delivered to Lender. If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the original Policies or evidence of insurance required by this Security Instrument, Lender may procure such insurance at Borrower's sole cost and expense.

(c) Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements and shall not bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept any article upon any of the Property or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon which would be prohibited by an insurance requirement, or would invalidate the insurance coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Borrower on or with respect to any part of the Property pursuant to this Section 3.1 and shall not purchase any additional amounts of insurance that would cause Lender to become a co-insurer within the terms of the Policies.

(d) Unless Lender requires Borrower to obtain a separate Policy or Policies under Section 3.1(a), the insurance coverage required may be effected under a blanket Policy or Policies covering the Property; provided that any such blanket Policy shall specify, except in the case of commercial general liability insurance, the premises address of each building, the portion of the total coverage of such Policy that is allocated to the Property, and shall in any case provide the same protection as would a separate policy insuring only the Property and otherwise comply with all other respects with the requirements of this Section 3.1.

(e) Subject to Section 3.5, Lender may apply the net proceeds of any Policies carried under this Section 3.1 as a result of damage or destruction to the Property to the reduction or discharge of the Debt whether or not then due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender will allow Borrower to use the net proceeds for restoration if no Event of Default exists and the net

proceeds plus funds of Borrower are adequate to fully restore the Property, as reasonably determined by Lender.

(f) In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instrument or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Section 3.2 Payment of Taxes, Etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.5 hereof, Borrower shall pay, when due, all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents or governmental impositions (the "Taxes"), maintenance charges, all other charges and impositions (herein called the "Other Charges") now or hereafter assessed, levied or otherwise charged against the Property, or any part thereof, and shall promptly furnish proof, satisfactory in form and substance to Lender, of such payment. Borrower may protest tax assessments with the appropriate governmental authorities so long as funds have been reserved for payment of Taxes in a manner satisfactory to Lender. In the event of the passage after date of this Security Instrument of any law, ordinance, or regulation, deducting from the Property for the purposes of taxation any lien thereon, or changing in any way the laws now in force for the taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust, or indebtedness secured thereby, or the manner of the operation of any such taxes so as to affect the interest of Lender, then and in such event, Borrower shall bear and pay the full amount of such Taxes, unless the payment thereof by Borrower would be unlawful or if the payment thereof would constitute usury or render the Loan wholly or partially usurious. If Borrower fails to pay any such Taxes and Other Charges, Lender may pay the same, together with all costs and penalties thereon, at Borrower's expense; provided, however, that if for any reason payment by Borrower or by Lender of any such new or additional Taxes would be unlawful or if the payment thereof would constitute usury or render the Loan wholly or partially usurious, Lender, at Lender's option, may declare the unpaid Loan with all accrued interest thereon to be immediately due and payable, or Lender, at Lender's option, may pay the amount or portion of such Taxes which otherwise would render the Loan unlawful or usurious, in which event Borrower shall concurrently therewith pay the remaining lawful and nonusurious portion or balance of said Taxes.

Section 3.3 Escrow Fund. At the option of Lender after Borrower has failed to timely pay Insurance Premiums, Taxes or Other Charges, Borrower shall establish with Lender an Escrow Fund sufficient to discharge Borrower's obligations for the payment of Insurance Premiums, Taxes and Other Charges pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof. Initial deposits of Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges, plus a two month reserve of each, shall be made by Borrower to Lender on the date hereof to be held by Lender in escrow. Additionally, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the first day of each calendar month (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes and Other Charges payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the initial deposits together with the amount in (a) and (b) above shall be called the "Escrow Fund"). Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges of which it has or obtains knowledge of and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes directly from the appropriate taxing authority. The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Provided there are sufficient amounts in the Escrow Fund and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall be obligated to pay the Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf of Borrower by applying the Escrow Fund to the payment of such Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amount due for

Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall reasonably estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, no earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower.

Section 3.4 Condemnation. Borrower represents to Lender that to Borrower's knowledge and belief no eminent domain proceedings affecting the Property or any part thereof are pending or threatened. In the event Borrower acquires knowledge or notice that any entity (public or private) having the right of eminent domain (herein called a "Condemning Authority") may or does intend to acquire or has threatened to institute or has instituted condemnation proceedings to acquire the Property, any part thereof or any interest therein, Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of full details with regard thereto. Lender shall be notified of and have the right to participate in all negotiations with any Condemning Authority and Borrower shall not grant to any Condemning Authority any right, title or interest in or to the Property or any part thereof (in lieu of eminent domain or condemnation proceedings or otherwise) without the prior written consent of Lender to, and the joinder of Lender with Borrower in, any such grant. Borrower has transferred and assigned, and does hereby transfer and assign unto Lender (i) the full amount of and right to receive and be paid the full amount of all consideration and, or, damages for injury or damage to the Property paid or to be paid by any Condemning Authority for and, or, by virtue of the grant, in lieu of eminent domain or condemnation proceeding, of any right, title or interest in the Property, and (ii) all judgments, decrees and awards or payments for the taking of and, or, for injury or damage to the Property (including but not limited to all awards and judgments pursuant to any condemnation proceedings), including interest thereon, and Lender shall apply all sums actually paid to and received by Lender pursuant to any such grant, judgment, decree or award first to reimbursement of all costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys' fees) incurred by Lender in connection with any such matters, and the balance shall be applied to the Loan in such manner as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender will allow Borrower to use the net proceeds for restoration if no Event of Default exists and the net proceeds plus funds of Borrower are adequate to restore the Property, as reasonably determined by Lender.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender or Trustee is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt. The cost and expense of any cure hereunder (including reasonable legal fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 11.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender or Trustee in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

Section 11.4 Actions and Proceedings. Lender or Trustee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property, and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property.

Section 11.5 Recovery of Sums Required to be Paid. Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender or Trustee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.

Section 11.6 Examination of Books and Records. Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right upon prior written notice (unless an Event of Default exists, in which case no

notice shall be necessary), to examine and audit, during reasonable business hours, the records, books, management and other papers of Borrower and its affiliates or of any Guarantor which pertain to their financial condition or the income, expenses and operation of the Property, at the Property or at any office regularly maintained by Borrower, its affiliates or any Guarantor where the books and records are located. Lender and its agents shall have the right upon notice to make copies and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers.

Section 11.7 Other Rights, etc.

(a) The failure of Lender or Trustee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument.

(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Lender's possession.

(c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender or Trustee may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender or Trustee thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender or Trustee under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender or Trustee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Neither Lender nor Trustee shall be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

Section 11.8 Right to Release Any Portion of the Property. Lender may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.

Section 11.9 Violations of Law. If the Property is not in compliance with Applicable Laws, Lender may impose additional requirements upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.

extent of the funds so used, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests existing against the Property heretofore held by, or in favor of, the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests, if any, are not waived but rather are continued in full force and effect in favor of Lender and are merged with the lien and security interest created herein as cumulative security for the repayment of the Debt, the performance and discharge of Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents and the performance and discharge of the Obligations.

Section 22.2 Trustee's Fees. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by Trustee and Trustee's agents and counsel in connection with the performance by Trustee of Trustee's duties hereunder and all such costs, fees and expenses shall be secured by this Security Instrument.

Section 22.3 Certain Rights. With the approval of Lender, Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to select, employ, and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Lender) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution, and interpretation of the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through his/her agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his/her duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee, and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default,

negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable area, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee's gross negligence or bad faith, and (iv) any and all other lawful action as Lender may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Lender's rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Property for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting an action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual expenses incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee's duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of Trustee's services hereunder as shall be rendered.

Section 22.4 Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by applicable law) and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder.

Section 22.5 Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any nature be required from Borrower by any Trustee or substitute trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to the Trustee or substitute trustee such estates, rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by the Trustee or substitute trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Borrower.

Section 22.6 Succession Instruments. Any substitute trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or his/her predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Lender or of the substitute trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute trustee so appointed in the Trustee's place.

Section 22.7 Trustee's Power of Sale (Texas). Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender, at Lender's option, and without notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration or notice of any kind or nature whatsoever, demand or presentment, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Grantor and any and all other parties liable with respect to the Debt or any part thereof, to the extent not prohibited by law, may declare the entire unpaid Debt (other than interest therein which has not yet accrued) immediately due and payable, whereupon it shall be so due and payable, and may exercise or invoke all rights and remedies granted hereunder or in any other instrument securing payment of or relating to the Debt and all rights and remedies available at law or in equity. Additionally, the following shall apply:

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender shall have the option, without declaring the entire Debt due, to proceed with foreclosure either through the courts or by directing Trustee to proceed as if under a full foreclosure, conducting the sale as hereinafter provided. Such sale may be made subject to the unmatured portion of the Note or other Debt without any effect thereon, but as to such unmatured portion of the Note or other Debt, this Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had been made under the provisions of this paragraph. In addition, several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured portion of the Note or other Debt, it being the

intention of the parties hereto to provide for a foreclosure and sale of the security for any matured portion of the Debt without exhausting the power to foreclose and to sell the security for any other portion of the Debt whether matured at the time or subsequently maturing.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Trustee, at any time thereafter, at the request of Lender (which request is hereby conclusively presumed), to sell at public sale the Property or any part thereof, or any interest therein, to the highest bidder, for cash, at the area of the county courthouse in which the Land (or any part thereof to be sold) is situated, as designated by the Commissioner's Court of such county as the area in which foreclosure sales are to take place, as evidenced by the designation of such area recorded in the real property records of the county in which the Land (or any part thereof to be sold) is situated, and, if no area is so designated, then in the area designated in the notice of sale as being the area for foreclosure sales to take place, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. of the first Tuesday of any month, after Trustee, or Trustee's agent, has given notice of the time, place and terms of said sale, and the property to be sold (such property in this paragraph (b) being called the "Posted Property"), by posting (or by having any person acting for Trustee post) for at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of the sale, written notice of the proposed sale at the courthouse door of said county in which the Posted Property is situated and as otherwise required by the applicable provisions of the Texas Property Code, as then amended. If the Posted Property is in more than one county, one such notice of sale shall be posted at the courthouse door of each county in which part of the Posted Property is situated and the Posted Property may be sold at the courthouse door of any one of such counties, and the notice so posted shall designate in which county the Posted Property shall be sold. In addition to such posting of notice, Trustee (or any person acting for Trustee), at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of the sale, shall file a copy of such written notice of the proposed sale in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the sale is to be made, and if the Posted Property is situated in more than one county, a copy of such written notice of sale shall be so filed in the office of the county clerk of each county in which any of the Posted Property is situated. In addition to such posting and filing of notice, Lender (or any person acting for Lender), at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of the sale, shall serve written notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on each debtor obligated to pay the Debt according to records of Lender and as otherwise required by the applicable provision of the Texas Property Code, as then amended. Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the notice, enclosed in a postpaid wrapper, properly addressed to such debtor at said debtor's most recent address as shown by the records of Lender, in a post office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service. The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of service. Borrower agrees that no notice of any sale other than as set out in this paragraph need be given by Trustee, Lender or any other person. Borrower designates as Borrower's address for the purposes of such notice, the address set out in the first paragraph of the Security Instrument, and each other debtor, if any, obligated to pay the Debt agrees that such address shall likewise constitute such other debtor's address for such notice, unless a different address is designated by such other debtor; no change of such address or designation of a different address shall be binding on Lender until thirty (30) days after Lender has received notice of such change sent to Lender by certified mail postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to Lender at the address for Lender set out in the first paragraph of the Security Instrument (or to such other address as Lender may have designated by notice given as above provided to Borrower and such other debtors). Any change of address of Lender shall be effective three (3) Business Days after written notice thereof addressed to Borrower and sent by regular United States mail, postage prepaid, has been deposited in the care and custody of the United States Postal Service. Borrower authorizes and empowers Trustee to sell the Posted Property, or any part thereof (which partial sale shall be governed by paragraph (g) below) or any interest therein, as an entirety or in

parcels, by one sale or by several sales held at one time or at different times as the Trustee shall deem advisable at the time of sale, and to execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof good and sufficient deed or deeds of conveyance thereof and bills of sale with covenants of general warranty binding on Borrower and Borrower's heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. Trustee making such sale shall receive the proceeds thereof and shall apply the same as follows: (i) Trustee shall pay, in addition to the attorneys' fees provided for in the Note, the reasonable expense of executing this trust, including a commission to Trustee of five percent (5%) of the gross proceeds of the sale; (ii) after paying such expenses, Trustee shall pay so far as may be possible the Debt (other than interest thereon which has not yet accrued), discharging first that portion of the Debt arising under the covenants or agreements herein contained and not evidenced by the Note; and (iii) Trustee shall pay the residue, if any, to Borrower, Borrower's respective heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns. Payment of the purchase price to Trustee shall satisfy the obligation of the purchaser at such sale therefor, and such purchaser shall not be bound to look after the application thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any person or party other than the then owners of the Property shall notify Lender or Trustee of a claim to said sums or any part thereof prior to disbursement thereof by Trustee, then Trustee or Lender or both of them at their option, may interplead all or any part of said funds into a court of competent jurisdiction, and in such event, Lender and Trustee each shall be entitled to recover from such sums so deposited an amount equal to the attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred by them or either of them, in connection with such proceeding, to the full extent permitted by all applicable laws.

(c) Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts that Trustee shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. Borrower hereby agrees, on behalf of Borrower and Borrower's respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, that the recitals contained in any deed or deeds or other instrument executed in due form by any Trustee, acting under the provisions of this instrument, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts recited, and that it shall not be necessary to prove in any court, otherwise than by such recitals, the existence of the facts essential to authorize the execution and delivery of such deed or deeds or other instrument and the passing of title thereby, and all prerequisites and requirements of any sale or sales shall be conclusively presumed to have been performed, and all persons subsequently dealing with the Property purported to be conveyed by such deed or deeds or other instrument, including without limitation, the purchaser or purchasers thereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon the truthfulness of such recitals. Trustee, acting in accordance with the terms hereof, shall not be personally liable for any action taken pursuant hereto.

(d) Lender may bid, and being the highest bidder therefor, become the purchaser of any or all of the Property at any trustee's or foreclosure sale hereunder and shall have the right to credit the amount of the bid upon the unpaid amount of the Debt in lieu of cash payment.

(e) The purchaser at any trustee's or foreclosure sale hereunder may disaffirm any easement granted, or lease or other agreement made in violation of any provision of this Security Agreement, and may take immediate possession of the Property free from and notwithstanding the terms of, such grant of easement, lease or other agreement.

(f) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Borrower as set out in Article 10, Lender may, without limitation of any other rights or remedies of Lender, exercise the rights and remedies set forth in Article 11 hereof.

(g) The sale or sales by the Trustee of less than the whole of the Property shall not exhaust the power of sale herein granted, and the Trustee is specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales, under such power, of such portion of or interest in the Property and in such order as Trustee may determine until the whole of the Property shall be sold; and if the proceeds of such

sale or sales of less than the whole of such Property shall be less than the aggregate of the Debt and the expense of executing this trust, this Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Property just as though no sale or sales had been made; provided, however, that Borrower shall never have the right to require that the Property be sold, as an entirety or in parcels, but Lender shall have the right, as a matter of Lender's sole discretion, to request the Trustee to sell the Property as an entirety or to sell any portion of or interest in the Property. In addition, if any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Lender, such sale shall not exhaust the power of sale hereunder, and Lender shall have the right to have a subsequent sale or sales to be made by the Trustee.

(h) In the event Trustee mails, files and/or posts the notices of foreclosure sale as required hereunder, Lender may decide not to proceed with a foreclosure sale on the date set forth in such notice, and such decision shall in no manner prevent Lender from directing the Trustee to give notice of a foreclosure sale, as provided herein, at any future date, nor effect a waiver of any of Lender's rights and remedies hereunder. Further, in the event a foreclosure sale is commenced hereunder by Trustee, Lender, at any time prior to the completion of such sale, may direct such Trustee to abandon the sale and may thereafter institute suit for foreclosure of any of the liens and security interests created by this Security Agreement. If Lender shall so elect to institute a suit for collection of the Debt or any part thereof and for foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced hereby, it is agreed further that Lender, at any time before entry of final judgment, may cause such suit to be dismissed and thereafter direct and require that Trustee proceed to sell the Property, or any part thereof, in accordance with the terms hereof, including but not limited to, the terms of paragraph (b) above and the terms of the Uniform Commercial Code, as herein provided.

(i) Each and all of the rights, powers and remedies hereunder are cumulative of and in addition to all other rights, powers and remedies herein contained or contained in any other instrument or document evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Debt or which Lender may have under all applicable laws. None of the terms and provisions hereof and no action or omission by or on behalf of Lender shall ever make Lender a trustee for, or otherwise create a trust, partnership or other fiduciary relationship between, Lender and Borrower.

Section 22.8 Contractual Vendor's Lien. The Note secured hereby represents funds advanced by Lender at the special instance and request of Borrower and used in payment of a portion of the purchase price for a portion of the Land, and Borrower hereby expressly confesses, recognizes and acknowledges a vendor's lien on the Land as security for payment of the Note.

Section 22.9 Cross Default. Borrower acknowledges that Lender is affiliated with AMEGY BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("ABNA"). Borrower may have loans from time to time with ABNA (the "ABNA Loans"), which may be secured by deeds of trust, pledges, assignments or security interests in assets of Borrower or its affiliates ("ABNA Pledged Assets"). By execution hereof, and for and in consideration of Lender making the loan evidenced by the Note, Borrower agrees that a default under the Note or this Deed of Trust shall be deemed a default under the ABNA Loans. Likewise, a default under the ABNA Loans shall be deemed a default hereunder. All collateral securing the Note shall also be deemed to secure the ABNA Loans and all ABNA Pledged Assets shall be deemed to secure the Note.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Security Instrument has been executed by Borrower the day and year first above written.
