invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice, or deprive Beneficiary of the
benefits of any indemnity set forth herein;

the manner provided by Applicable Laws for the foreclosure of mortgages or deeds

or other appropriate equitable relief and/or the recovery of any and all
Environmental Damages, it being conclusively presumed between Trustor and
Beneficiary that any reasonable costs advanced or expenses actually incurred by

25
27
8.2.4 Intentionally Deleted.
8.2.5 Declare the Secured Obligations to become immediately
due and payable pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Loan Agreement. If the
Beneficiary so declares and Trustor fails to make such payment as and when due,
then Beneficiary may waive its Liens against any parcel of the Real Property or
all or any portion of the Fixtures or Personal Property attached to the Real
Property, to the extent such property is determined to be environmentally
impaired, and to exercise any and all rights of an unsecured creditor against
Trustor and all of Trustor's assets for the recovery of any deficiency,
including, but not limited to, seeking an attachment order. TRUSTOR ACKNOWLEDGES
AND AGREES THAT NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN
THIS DEED OF TRUST OR IN ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY NONRECOURSE OR EXCULPATORY LANGUAGE, IF ANY), TRUSTOR SHALL BE
PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY RECOVERY DESCRIBED IN THIS PARAGRAPH 8.2.5. AND SUCH

8.2.7 Pursue any and all other remedies it may have, at law or
in equity, or under any other document or instrument, except as otherwise
provided in the Loan Agreement.
Section 8.3 Power of Sale. If Trustor or Fitzgeralds shall be in default as
provided in Section 8.1 hereof, then, in that event, the entire Secured
Obligations, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall, at the option of
Beneficiary, be and become at once due and payable without notice to Trustor,
and Trustee shall, at request of Beneficiary, sell the Real Property conveyed,
or a sufficiency thereof, to satisfy the Secured Obligations at public outcry to
the highest bidder for cash or cash equivalent sale of the Real Property shall
be advertised for three (3) consecutive weeks preceding the sale in a newspaper
published in the county where the Real Property is situated, or if none is so
published, then in some newspaper having a general circulation therein, and by
posting a notice for the same time at the courthouse of the same county. The
notice and advertisement shall disclose the names of the original Trustor in
this Deed of Trust. Trustor waives the provisions of Section 89-1-55 of the
Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended, insofar as this section restricts the
right of Trustee to offer at sale more than 160 acres at a time, and Trustee may
offer the property herein conveyed as a whole, regardless of how it is
described. If the Real Property is situated in two (2) or more counties, or in
two (2) judicial districts of the same county, Trustee shall have full power to
select in which county or judicial district the sale of the Real Property is to
be made, newspaper advertisement to be published and notice of sale to be
posted, and Trustee's selection shall be binding upon Trustor and Beneficiary.
Should Beneficiary be a corporation or an unincorporated association, then any
26
28
officer thereof may declare Trustor or Fitzgeralds to be in default as provided
in Section 8.1 hereof and request Trustee to sell the Real Property. Beneficiary
shall have the same right to purchase the Real Property at the foreclosure sale
as would a purchaser who is not a party to this Deed of Trust. The Trustor
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases: (i) all benefits
that might accrue to the Trustor by virtue of any present or future law
exempting the Real Property from attachment, levy or sale or execution or
providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from
civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment; (ii) all notices of
any Event of Default or of the Trustee's exercise of any right, remedy or
recourse provided for hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; and
(iii) any right to a marshaling of assets or a sale in inverse order of
alienation.
Section 8.4 Proof of Default. Thevent of a sale of the Real Property, or any
part thereof, and the execution of a deed or deeds therefor, the recital therein
of default, and of recording notice of breach and election of sale, and of the
elapsing of the required time (if any) between the foregoing recording and the
following notice, and of the giving of notice of sale, and of a demand by
Beneficiary, or its successors or assigns, that such sale should be made, to the
extent permitted by Applicable Laws, shall be conclusive proof of such default,
recording, election, elapsing of time, and of the due giving of such notice, and
that the sale was regularly and validly made on due and proper demand by
Beneficiary, its successors or assigns; and any such deed or deeds with such
recitals therein shall be effectual and conclusive against Trustor, its
successors and assigns, and all other Persons; and the receipt for the purchase
money recited or contained in any deed executed to the purchaser as aforesaid
shall be sufficient discharge to such purchaser from all obligations to see to
the proper application of the purchase money.
Section 8.5 Protection of Security. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, then upon at least 15 days prior written notice to
Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligations or defaults
hereunder, Beneficiary or Trustee shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to: (i) make payment or otherwise perform such obligations of Trustor upon which
such Event of Default is based in such manner and to such extent as either may
reasonably deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary and
Trustee being authorized to enter upon the Real Property for such purpose; (ii)
appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect, in any
manner whatsoever, the Secured Obligations, the security hereof or the rights or
powers of Beneficiary or (iii) pay, purchase or compromise any encumbrance,
charge or lien (other than Permitted Liens); (iv) advance any and all costs and
expenses reasonably necessary to cure or pay Environmental Damages or otherwise
to comply with Environmental Requirements; and (v) in exercising any such
powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay attorneys' fees. Trustor
hereby agrees to repay within (30) days after receipt of written demand all
reasonable sums actually expended by Trustee or Beneficiary pursuant to this
Section 8.5. with interest at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure by
Beneficiary, and such sums, with interest shall be secured hereby.
Section 8.6 Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Beneficiary, as a matter of strict right and without regard to the
then value of the Real Property, shall have the right to apply to any court
having jurisdiction to appoint a Receiver or Receivers of the Real Property. Any
such Receiver or Receivers shall have all the powers and duties of
27
29
receivers under Applicable Laws in like or similar cases and all the powers and
duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided in this Deed of Trust, and
shall continue as such and exercise all such Powers until the date of
confirmation of sale, unless such receivership is sooner terminated.
Section 8.7 Curing of Defaults.
8.7.1 If Trustor shall at any time fail to perform or comply
with any of the terms, covenants and conditions required on Trustor's part to be
performed and complied with under this deed of Trust or any other Loan Document
relating to the Trust Estate (after the lapse of any cure period provided
therein), then Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, without
waiving or releasing any of the Secured Obligations, to:
8.7.1.1 make any payments thereunder payable by Trustor
and take out, pay for and maintain any of the insurance policies provided for
therein, and/or
8.7.1.2 after the expiration of any applicable grace
period and subject to Trustor's rights to contest certain obligations
specifically granted hereby, perform any such other acts thereunder on the part
of Trustor to be performed and enter upon the Real Property and incur reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses for such purpose.
8.7.2 The making by Beneficiary of such payment out of
Beneficiary's own funds shall not, however, be deemed to cure such default by
Trustor, and the same shall not be so cured unless and until Trustor shall have
reimbursed Beneficiary within the applicable cure period for such payment
including interest at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure. All
sums so paid and all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred and paid by
Beneficiary in connection with the performance of any such act, together with
interest on unpaid balances thereof at the Default Rate from the respective
dates of Beneficiary's making of each such payment, shall be secured by the lien
of this Deed of Trust, prior to any right, title or, interest in or claim upon
the Real Property attaching or accruing subsequent to the lien of this Deed of
Trust and shall be payable by Trustor to Beneficiary within thirty (30) days
after receipt of written demand.
Section 8.8 Remedies Cumulative. All remedies of Beneficiary and all other
rights and provided for herein are cumulative and shall be in addition to any
remedies provided in the other Loan Documents or provided by Applicable Law,
including any banker's lien and right of offset. The exercise of any right or
remedy by Beneficiary hereunder shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver
of default hereunder or under the Loan Documents, or invalidate any act done
pursuant to any notice of default, or prejudice Beneficiary in the exercise of
said rights, all Secured Obligations are fully discharged.
