PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

This Deed of Trust is being delivered and accepted by Beneficiary to grant a deed of trust lien and security interest on the Grantors interest under the Mortgaged Leases to secure the Obligations as described below.

The Port of Beaumont Navigation District of Jefferson County, Texas (the “District”) was organized, created and established pursuant to the Constitution and the laws of the State of Texas as a conservation and reclamation district under Article XVI, Section 59, of the Texas Constitution, and pursuant to Chapter 147, Acts of the 51^st Legislature of Texas, Regular Session, 1949, as amended (the “Enabling Act”).

The District proposes to finance improvements to the port facilities of the District; and

The District has determined that it is appropriate that it issue its Dock and Wharf Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 2016 (Jefferson Energy Companies Project) (the “Series 2016 Bonds”) to (i) reimburse and pay Jefferson Railport Terminal II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Grantor herein, for the development, construction and acquisition of certain facilities for the transport, loading, unloading and storage of petroleum products; (ii) pay capitalized interest during construction and (iii) pay certain costs of issuance of the Series 2016 Bonds (collectively, the “Project”).

Certain improvements have been constructed by Grantor on behalf of the District, on property leased to Grantor by the District pursuant to an Agreement and Lease, dated August 27, 2013 and subsequently amended by an Amendment to Agreement and Lease, dated December 30, 2013 and a Second Amendment to Agreement and Lease, dated October 27, 2016 (the “Original Lease”) and a First Amended and Restated Lease Agreement dated as February 1, 2016 (together with the

-2-

Original Lease, the “Ground Lease”), by and between Grantor, as successor to Port of Beaumont Petroleum Transload Terminal II, LLC and the District.

To achieve the purposes for which the Series 2016 Bonds will be issued (i) the District will reimburse Grantor for the improvements constructed by Grantor on behalf the District under the Ground Lease; (ii) Grantor, pursuant to a Lease and Development Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Facilities Lease”), between the District and Grantor, will construct additional improvements on behalf of the District (together with such improvements constructed by Grantor on behalf the District under the Ground Lease, the “Bond Financed Property”) and (iii) Grantor will lease the Bond Financed Property from the District pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Facilities Lease.

The Series 2016 Bonds are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Enabling Act, Chapter 60, Texas Water Code, as amended, and Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code, as amended (together, the “Act”) and other applicable laws of the State of Texas and will be secured by a Trust Indenture and Security Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Indenture”) between the District and Beneficiary.

It is anticipated that the principal of the Series 2016 Bonds, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, will be paid on the “First Initial Bonds Remarketing Date” (as defined in the Indenture) using proceeds from the remarketing of the Series 2016 Bonds; provided, however, that if the Series 2016 Bonds have not been repurchased with proceeds of remarketing or redeemed, or defeased to a date, on or prior to the First Initial Bonds Remarketing Date, the Series 2016 Bonds will be purchased by FTAI Energy Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FTAI Energy”) and Grantor pursuant to a Standby Bond Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Standby Bond Purchase Agreement”), among the District, Grantor, FTAI Energy and Beneficiary, which Standby Bond Purchase Agreement will be entered into as further security for the Series 2016 Bonds.

The Series 2016 Bonds will be special limited obligations of the District payable solely from the “Trust Estate” (as defined in the Trust Indenture) and the Series 2016 Bonds shall never constitute an indebtedness or general obligation of the District, the State of Texas or any other political subdivision of the State of Texas, within the meaning of any constitutional provision or statutory limitation whatsoever.

To secure its obligations under the Indenture, the District has assigned certain Pledged Revenues to Beneficiary pursuant to the Indenture, including Facilities Lease Rent, as defined in the Facilities Lease, payable by Grantor.

To secure Grantor’s obligations to pay Facilities Lease Rent under the Facilities Lease (which constitute Pledged Revenues assigned to Beneficiary pursuant to the Indenture) in accordance with the Facilities Lease, and its and FTAI Energy’s obligations under the Standby Purchase Agreement, in each case as and when due, including all renewals, extensions, and modifications of the same (collectively the “Obligations”), Grantor is executing and delivering this Deed of Trust and Security Agreement.

-3-

This Deed of Trust constitutes a “construction mortgage” as described in Section 9.334 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code to the extent that it secures an obligation incurred for the construction of the Improvements.

Each tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest from whom Beneficiary or any officer, agent, attorney or employee of Beneficiary shall have collected any Rents, shall be authorized to pay Rents to Grantor only after such tenant or any of their successors in interest shall have received written notice from Beneficiary that the Event of Default is no longer continuing, unless and until a further notice of an Event of Default is given by Beneficiary to such tenant or any of its successors in interest.

(c) Upon every such entry or taking of possession, Deed of Trust Trustee and/or Beneficiary, as applicable, may, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Leasehold Trust Estate, conduct the business thereof and, from time to time, (i) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon, (ii) insure or keep the Leasehold Trust Estate insured in the manner and amounts required pursuant to the Indenture, (iii) manage and operate the Leasehold Trust Estate in its reasonable discretion and exercise all the rights and powers of Grantor to the same extent as Grantor could in its own name or otherwise with respect to the same, or (iv) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted to Deed of Trust Trustee and/or Beneficiary, all as may from time to time be directed or determined by Beneficiary to be in its best interest and Grantor hereby appoints Deed of Trust Trustee and Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact and agents, for Grantor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to perform any of the foregoing acts. During the time of such possession, Beneficiary may collect and receive all the Rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Leasehold Trust Estate, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, after deducting, in all cases subject to Section 7.03 of the Indenture, (i) all reasonable expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Leasehold Trust Estate (including reasonable compensation for the services of all persons employed for such purposes), (ii) the reasonable costs of all such maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions, (iii) the reasonable costs of insurance, (iv) such taxes, assessments and other similar charges as Beneficiary may at its option pay, (v) other proper and reasonable charges upon the Leasehold Trust Estate or any part thereof and (vi) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the attorneys and. agents of Deed of Trust Trustee and Beneficiary, Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary, as applicable, shall apply the remainder of the moneys and proceeds so received in accordance with Section 2.8 hereof.

-13-

Estate back to Grantor, its successors or assigns. The same right of taking possession shall, however, arise again if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.

SECTION 2.4. Right To Cure Grantor’s Failure to Perform. Should Grantor fail in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition required by this Deed of Trust or of Grantor under the Indenture (with respect to the Leasehold Trust Estate) beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Beneficiary may pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and, subject to Section 7.03 of the Indenture, shall be, within the time period set forth therein, repaid by Grantor to Beneficiary with interest on overdue amounts thereon at the Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize its agents to enter upon the Leasehold Trust Estate or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without having any obligation to so perform or observe and without thereby becoming liable to Grantor, to any person in possession holding under Grantor or to any other person absent its (or its agents) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct

SECTION 2.5. Right to a Receiver. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Beneficiary, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Leasehold Trust Estate and to collect and apply the Rents. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state wherein the Leasehold Trust Estate is located. Subject to Section 7.03 of the Indenture, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary, within the time period set forth therein, all reasonable expenses, including receiver’s fees, reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, costs and agent’s compensation incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.5; and all such expenses shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be repaid by Grantor to Beneficiary with interest on overdue amounts at the Default Rate from the date incurred until the date so paid by Grantor.

SECTION 2.6. Foreclosure and Sale.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Beneficiary may elect to sell or cause the Deed of Trust Trustee to sell the Leasehold Trust Estate or any part of the Leasehold Trust Estate by exercise of the power of foreclosure or of sale granted to Deed of Trust Trustee and/or Beneficiary by applicable law or this Deed of Trust. In such case, Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary may commence a civil action to foreclose this Deed of Trust, or it may proceed and sell the Leasehold Trust Estate to satisfy any Obligation. Beneficiary and Deed of Trust Trustee shall comply with the requirements of the Texas Property Code then in effect (or other applicable law) with regard to any such sale or any other foreclosure sale contemplated by this Deed of Trust. Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the Leasehold Trust Estate, may sell all or such parts of the Leasehold Trust Estate as may be chosen by Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary at the time and place of sale fixed by it in a notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate lots, parcels or items as Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder. Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell

-14-

the Leasehold Trust Estate may postpone any foreclosure or other sale of all or any portion of the Leasehold Trust Estate by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement or subsequently noticed sale. Without further notice, Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary or an officer appointed to sell the Leasehold Trust Estate may make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale. Any person, including Grantor, Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary or any designee or affiliate thereof, may purchase at such sale.

(b) The Leasehold Trust Estate may be sold subject to unpaid taxes and Permitted Encumbrances, and, after deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary (including costs of evidence of title in connection with the sale), Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary or an officer that makes any sale shall apply the proceeds of sale in the manner set forth in Section 2.8.

(c) Any foreclosure or other sale of less than the whole of the Leasehold Trust Estate or any defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of foreclosure or of sale provided for herein; and subsequent sales may be made hereunder until the Obligations have been satisfied, or the entirety of the Leasehold Trust Estate has been sold.

(d) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Beneficiary (or Deed of Trust Trustee at the direction of Beneficiary as so required by applicable law), may instead of, or in addition to, exercising the rights described in Section 2.6(a) above and either with or without entry or taking possession as herein permitted, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to specifically enforce payment of some or all of the Obligations, or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Deed of Trust or any other right, or (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to Beneficiary, all as Beneficiary shall determine most effectual for such purposes.

SECTION 2.7. Other Remedies.

(a) In case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Beneficiary (or Deed of Trust Trustee at the direction of Beneficiary as so required by applicable law) may also exercise, to the extent not prohibited by law, any or all of the remedies available to a secured party under the UCC.

(b) In connection with a sale of the Leasehold Trust Estate and the application of the proceeds of sale as provided in Section 2.8, Beneficiary (or Deed of Trust Trustee at the direction of Beneficiary as so required by applicable law) shall be entitled to enforce payment of and to receive up to the principal amount of the Obligations, including, without limitation, all other charges, payments and costs due under this Deed of Trust, and to recover a deficiency judgment for any portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations remaining unpaid, with interest in accordance with the Indenture.

SECTION 2.8. Application of Sale Proceeds and Rents. After any foreclosure sale of all or any of the Leasehold Trust Estate, Beneficiary shall receive and apply the proceeds of the sale together with any Rents that may have been collected and any other sums that then may be

-15-

held by Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust in the same manner as the proceeds of the Trust Estate (as defined in the Indenture) are to be applied pursuant to Section 7.06 of the Indenture.

Upon any sale of the Leasehold Trust Estate by the Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Beneficiary (or Deed of Trust Trustee at the direction of Beneficiary as so required by applicable law) or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Leasehold Trust Estate so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Beneficiary or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

SECTION 2.9. Grantor as Tenant Holding Over. If Grantor remains in possession of any of the Leasehold Trust Estate after any foreclosure sale by Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary, at Beneficiary’s election Grantor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith surrender possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed or evicted according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.

SECTION 2.10. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws. Grantor waives, to the extent not prohibited by law, (i) the benefit of all laws now existing or that hereafter may be enacted (x) providing for any appraisement or valuation of any portion of the Leasehold Trust Estate and/or (y) in any way extending the time for the enforcement or the collection of amounts due under any of the Obligations or creating or extending a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting said debt or any other amounts due to Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary, (ii) any right to at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any homestead exemption, stay, statute of limitations, extension or redemption, or sale of the Leasehold Trust Estate as separate tracts, units or estates or as a single parcel in the event of foreclosure or notice of deficiency, and (iii) all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of or each of the Obligations and marshaling in the event of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust.

SECTION 2.11. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary shall proceed to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Deed of Trust by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall be discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall be determined adversely to Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary, then and in every such case Grantor, Deed of Trust Trustee and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Grantor, Deed of Trust Trustee and Beneficiary shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken.

SECTION 2.12. Suits To Protect the Leasehold Trust Estate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary (or Deed of Trust Trustee at the direction of Beneficiary as so required by applicable law) shall have power (a) to institute and maintain suits and proceedings to prevent any impairment of the Leasehold Trust Estate by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of this Deed of Trust, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Leasehold Trust Estate and in the Rents arising therefrom and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be

-16-

unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security or be prejudicial to the interest of Deed of Trust Trustee and/or Beneficiary hereunder.

SECTION 2.13. Filing Proofs of Claim. In case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Grantor, Beneficiary (or Deed of Trust Trustee at the direction of Beneficiary as so required by applicable law) shall, to the extent permitted by law, be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Beneficiary allowed in such proceedings for the Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any interest accrued, late charges and additional interest or other amounts due or that may become due and payable hereunder after such date.

SECTION 2.14. Waiver.

(a) No delay or failure by Deed of Trust Trustee and/or Beneficiary to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any breach or Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Deed of Trust to Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary. No consent or waiver by Beneficiary to or of any breach or Event of Default by Grantor in the performance of the Obligations shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or Event of Default in the performance of the same or of any other Obligations by Grantor hereunder. No failure on the part of Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall constitute a waiver by Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary of their respective rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any future Event of Default by Grantor.

(b) Even if Beneficiary (i) grants some forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby, (ii) takes other or additional security for the payment of any sums secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise some right granted herein, (iv) releases a part of the Leasehold Trust Estate from this Deed of Trust, (v) agrees to change some of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Facilities Lease or the Standby Purchase Agreement, (vi) consents to the filing of a map, plat or replat affecting the Premises, (vii) consents to the granting of an easement or other right affecting the Premises or (viii) makes or consents to an agreement subordinating the lien hereof on the Leasehold Trust Estate, no such act or omission shall preclude Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary from exercising any other right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any breach or Event of Default then made or of any subsequent default; nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument executed by Beneficiary, shall this Deed of Trust be altered thereby. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or part of the Leasehold Trust Estate, Beneficiary (or Trustee at the direction of Beneficiary as so required by applicable law) is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any vendee or transferee with reference to the Leasehold Trust Estate secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same

-17-

extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.

SECTION 2.15. Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS DEED OF TRUST. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS DEED OF TRUST BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 2.15.

SECTION 2.16. Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Deed of Trust Trustee or Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

Such substitute deed of trust trustee shall be appointed by written instrument duly recorded in the county where the Land is located. The Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts that the herein named Deed of Trust Trustee, or his successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. The Grantor hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and its heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, that the recitals contained in any deed or deeds executed in due form by any Deed of Trust Trustee or substitute deed of trust 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 and the passing of title thereby;

ARTICLE V.

Mortgaged Leases

This Deed of Trust is subject to the following provisions relating to the particular laws of the state wherein the Premises are located:

-20-

SECTION 5.1. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Grantor represents and warrants to the Beneficiary that (a) the Mortgaged Leases are unmodified and in full force and effect, (b) all rent and other charges therein have been paid to the extent they are payable to the date hereof, (c) the Grantor enjoys the quiet and peaceful possession of the property demised thereby, (d) the Grantor is not in default under any of the terms thereof and there are no circumstances which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default thereunder, and (e) the Lessor thereunder is not in default in any material respect under any of the terms or provisions thereof on the part of the Lessor to be observed or performed (but this statement is made for the benefit of and may only be relied upon by the Beneficiary and Secured Parties). The Grantor shall promptly pay, when due and payable, the rent and other charges payable pursuant to the Mortgaged Leases, and will timely perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by the Grantor as lessee under the Mortgaged Leases. The Grantor shall notify the Beneficiary in writing of any default by the Grantor in the performance or observance of any terms, covenants or conditions on the part of the Grantor to be performed or observed under the Mortgaged Leases within ten (10) days after the Grantor knows of such default. The Grantor shall, promptly following the receipt thereof, deliver a copy of any notice of default given to the Grantor by the Lessor pursuant to the Mortgaged Leases and promptly notify the Beneficiary in writing of any default by the Lessor in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of the Lessor to be performed or observed thereunder. Unless required under the terms of the Mortgaged Leases, except as restricted by the Indenture, the Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary (which may be granted or withheld in the Beneficiary’s sole and absolute discretion) (i) terminate, or surrender the Mortgaged Leases, or (ii) enter into any modification of the Mortgaged Leases in violation of Article 9 of the Indenture, and any such attempted termination, modification or surrender without the Beneficiary’s written consent shall be void. The Grantor shall, within thirty (30) days after written request from the Beneficiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Lessor and deliver to the Beneficiary a certificate setting forth the name of the Tenant thereunder and stating that the Mortgaged Leases is in full force and effect, is unmodified or, if the Mortgaged Leases has been modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each such modification), that no notice of termination thereof has been served on the Grantor, stating that to the best of Lessor’s knowledge, no default or event which with notice or lapse of time (or both) would become a default is existing under the Mortgaged Leases, stating the date to which rent has been paid, and specifying the nature of any defaults, if any, and containing such other statements and representations as may be reasonably requested by the Beneficiary.

SECTION 5.2. No Merger; Acquisition; Power of Attorney. So long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unperformed, the fee title to and the leasehold estate in the Premises subject to the Mortgaged Leases shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct notwithstanding the union of such estates in the Lessor or the Grantor, or in a third party, by purchase or otherwise. If the Grantor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the property demised by the Mortgaged Leases, or any part thereof, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall attach to, cover and be a lien upon such acquired estate, title or interest and the same shall thereupon be and become a part of the Leasehold Trust Estate with the same force and effect as if specifically encumbered herein. The Grantor agrees to execute all instruments and documents that the Beneficiary may reasonably require to ratify, confirm and further evidence the lien of this Deed of

-21-

Trust on the acquired estate, title or interest. Furthermore, the Grantor hereby appoints the Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all such instruments and documents in the name and on behalf of the Grantor. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as any portion of the Obligations remains unpaid.

SECTION 5.3. New Leases. If the Mortgaged Leases shall be terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term due to default by the Grantor or any Tenant thereunder, and if, pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgaged Leases, the Beneficiary or its designee shall acquire from the Lessor a new lease of the Premises subject to the Mortgaged Leases, the Grantor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, or renewal privileges therein contained.

SECTION 5.4. No Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Deed of Trust shall not constitute an assignment of the Mortgaged Leases within the meaning of any provision thereof prohibiting its assignment and the Beneficiary shall have no liability or obligation thereunder by reason of its acceptance of this Deed of Trust. The Beneficiary shall be liable for the obligations of the Tenant arising out of the Mortgaged Leases for only that period of time for which the Beneficiary is in possession of the Premises demised thereunder or has acquired, by foreclosure or otherwise, and is holding all of the Grantor’s right, title and interest therein.

SECTION 5.5. Treatment of Mortgaged Leases In Bankruptcy.

(i) If any Landlord or grantor under the Mortgaged Leases rejects or disaffirms, or seeks or purports to reject or disaffirm, such Mortgaged Leases pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then the Grantor shall not exercise the 365(h) Election except as otherwise provided in this paragraph. To the extent permitted by law, the Grantor shall not suffer or permit the termination of the Mortgaged Leases by exercise of the 365(h) Election or otherwise without the Beneficiary’s consent. The Grantor acknowledges that because the Mortgaged Leases is a primary element of the Beneficiary’s security for the Obligations, it is not anticipated that the Beneficiary would consent to termination of the Mortgaged Leases. If the Grantor makes any 365(h) Election in violation of this Deed of Trust, then such 365(h) Election shall be void and of no force or effect.

(ii) The Grantor hereby assigns to the Beneficiary the 365(h) Election with respect to the Mortgaged Leases until the Obligations have been satisfied in full. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing assignment of the 365(h) Election and related rights is one of the rights that the Beneficiary may use at any time to protect and preserve the Beneficiary’s other rights and interests under this Mortgage. The Grantor further acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of terminating the Mortgaged Leases would constitute waste prohibited by this Deed of Trust.

(iii) The Grantor acknowledges that if the 365(h) Election is exercised in favor of Xxxxxxx’s remaining in possession under the Mortgaged Leases, then the Grantor’s resulting occupancy rights, as adjusted by the effect of Section 365 of Title II of the United

-22-

States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), shall then be part of the Leasehold Trust Estate and shall be subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust.

SECTION 5.6. Rejection of Mortgaged Leases by Landlord. If a Landlord under the Mortgaged Leases rejects or disaffirms the Mortgaged Leases or purports or seeks to disaffirm such Mortgaged Leases pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then:

(i) The Grantor shall remain in possession of the Premises demised under such Mortgaged Leases so rejected or disaffirmed and shall perform all acts necessary for the Grantor to remain in such possession for the unexpired term of such Mortgaged Leases, whether the then existing terms and provisions of such Mortgaged Leases require such acts or otherwise; and

(ii) All the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust and the lien created by this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect and shall extend automatically to all of the Grantor’s rights and remedies arising at any time under, or pursuant to, Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including all of the Grantor’s rights to remain in possession of the leased Premises.

SECTION 5.7. Assignment of Claims to Beneficiary. The Grantor, immediately upon learning that any Landlord or grantor under the Mortgaged Leases has failed to perform the terms and provisions thereunder (including by reason of a rejection or disaffirmance or purported rejection or disaffirmance of such Mortgaged Leases pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law), shall notify the Beneficiary of any such failure to perform. The Grantor unconditionally assigns, transfers, and sets over to the Beneficiary any and all damage claims thereunder. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of all damage claims under the Mortgaged Leases, and shall continue in effect until the Obligations have been satisfied in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Beneficiary grants to the Grantor a revocable license to exercise any such Mortgaged Leases damage claims which license may only be revoked by the Beneficiary upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.

Trust Trustee and Beneficiary agree to submit to jurisdiction and the laying of venue for any suit on this Deed of Trust in the state where the Premises are located.

SECTION 6.2. Texas Law Provisions.

(a) Waiver of Appraisement. Grantor hereby waives appraisement, or does not waive appraisement, at the option of the Beneficiary, to be exercised at any time prior to or at entry of judgment in any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust. Grantor expressly agrees that the Deed of Trust Trustee may offer the Leasehold Trust Estate as a whole or in such parcels or lots as the Beneficiary, in its sole discretion elects, regardless of the manner in which the Leasehold Trust Estate may be described. Furthermore, in the event an interest in any of the Leasehold Trust Estate is foreclosed upon pursuant to a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale, the Grantor agrees as follows: notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 51.003, 51.004, and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as the same may be amended from time to time), and to the extent permitted by law, the Grantor agrees that Beneficiary or Deed of Trust Trustee, as the case may be, shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from the Grantor and any other party obligated in respect of the Obligations equal to the difference between the amount of the Obligations and the amount for which the Leasehold Trust Estate was sold pursuant to judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale. The Grantor expressly recognizes that this Section constitutes a waiver of the above-cited provisions of the Texas Property Code which would otherwise permit the Grantor and other persons against whom recovery of deficiencies is sought (even absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of the Leasehold Trust Estate as of the date of the foreclosure sale and offset against any deficiency the amount by which the foreclosure sale price is determined to be less than such fair market value. The Grantor further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates an irrebuttable presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Leasehold Trust Estate for purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by the Grantor or any other person against whom recovery of a deficiency is sought.

(b) Limitation on Interest. All agreements between Grantor and Beneficiary, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by Beneficiary exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Beneficiary in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Beneficiary shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance Beneficiary shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and not to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Grantor. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph shall control all agreements between Grantor and Beneficiary.

(d) Entire Agreement. THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE FACILITIES LEASE AND THE STANDBY PURCHASE AGREEMENT EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERCEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.

(e) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, then, without limitation to any other rights or remedies of Beneficiary contained herein, Deed of Trust Trustee shall be and is hereby authorized and empowered, and it is the Deed of Trust Trustee’s special duty, when requested so to do by Beneficiary after such default, to sell the Leasehold Trust Estate covered hereby at public auction to the highest bidder for cash between the hours of ten o’clock a.m. and four o’clock p.m. of the first Tuesday in any month, at the county court house in the county in which the Leasehold Trust Estate is situated (or, if the Leasehold Trust Estate is located in more than one county, the sale may be made at the county courthouse in any county in which the Leasehold Trust Estate is located), after complying with the statutes and procedures of the State of Texas governing such sales and after advertising the time, place, and terms of said sale and the Leasehold Trust Estate to be sold and by posting or causing to be posted for at least twenty-one consecutive days prior to the date of said sale written or printed notice thereof at the courthouse door of the county in which the sale is to be made and if the Leasehold Trust Estate is located in more than one county, one notice shall be posted at the courthouse door of each county in which the Leasehold Trust Estate is located. In addition to such posting of notice, Beneficiary shall at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of sale file a copy of such notice with the clerk of each county in which the Leasehold Trust Estate is located and shall serve written notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on Grantor and on each other debtor, if any, obligated to pay the Obligations. Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the notice enclosed in a postpaid wrapper, properly addressed to Grantor and such other debtors at their most recent address or addresses as shown by the records of Beneficiary 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. Grantor agree that no notice of any sale other than as set out in this paragraph need be given by Deed of Trust Trustee, Beneficiary or any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, notice of such sale given in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas in effect at the time of such sale shall constitute sufficient notice of such sale. The Grantor do hereby authorize and empower said Deed of Trust Trustee and each and all of his or its successors in this trust, to sell the Leasehold Trust Estate, together, or in lots or parcels, as Deed of Trust Trustee shall deem expedient. If the proceeds of the sale of only part of the Leasehold Trust Estate are less than the sum of the then-outstanding Obligations and all amounts owed under this Deed of Trust, this Deed of Trust and the lien covering the Leasehold Trust Estate will remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Leasehold Trust Estate. After each sale, the Deed of Trust Trustee will execute and

A purchaser’s obligation is only to deliver the sales price to the Deed of Trust Trustee, and no purchaser will be responsible for the proper application of the sales proceeds. The proceeds of any sale held by Deed of Trust Trustee or any receiver or public officer in foreclosure of the liens evidenced hereby shall be applied pursuant to Section 17 of the Facilities Lease and Section 17 of the Ground Lease.
