(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 8.7. 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.

(b) If there shall be filed by or against Borrower a petition under the Bankruptcy Code and Borrower, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower shall give Lender not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice of the date on which Borrower shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Lease. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower within such ten-day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that Borrower assume and assign the Lease to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. If Lender serves upon Borrower the notice described in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall not seek to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Lender of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

18 |
Section 16.3. 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 care, 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 16.4. 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 16.5. 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 Trustee or substitute trustee such estates rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by 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 16.6. 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, 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 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 Trustee’s place.
19 |
Article 17 – State-Specific Provisions
Section 17.1. Principles of Construction. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Article 17 and the terms and conditions of this Security Instrument, the terms and conditions of this Article 17 shall control and be binding.
Section 17.2. Foreclosure. The following provisions shall be applicable in the event Lender elects to institute foreclosure proceedings upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
(a) Should Lender have elected to accelerate the indebtedness secured hereby, Lender may initiate foreclosure of the Property by requesting the Trustee to effectuate a non-judicial foreclosure sale. The Trustee of this Security Instrument shall then sell, or offer for sale, the Property at public sale to the highest bidder for cash during a three hour period between the hours of ten o’clock a.m. and four o’clock p.m. whose earliest point in time is specified, on the first Tuesday of any month, at the area officially designated for holding such sales at the courthouse of any county in the State of Texas in which any part of the Property is situated, after having given notice of the date, the time period, place and terms of said sale in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas then in force and governing said sales of real property and improvements under powers conferred by deeds of trust. The Property shall be sold by posting, or causing to be posted, at least twenty one (21) consecutive days prior to the date of said sale, written or printed notice thereof at the courthouse door in each of the counties in which the Property is situated, designating the county where the Property will be sold and designating the date, the time period, the place and the terms of sale. A copy of such notice shall also be filed in the office of the County Clerk in each county of the State of Texas in which any part of the Property is situated at least twenty one (21) consecutive days before the date of said sale of the Property. Lender shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held by any Trustee or substitute or successor Trustee, or by any receiver or public officer. Any Lender purchasing at any such sale shall have the right to credit the secured indebtedness owing to such Lender upon the amount of its bid entered at such sale to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid. Said Trustee may appoint an attorney in fact to act in its stead as Trustee to conduct sale as hereinbefore provided. Borrower authorizes and empowers the Trustee to sell the Property, in lots or parcels or as a whole, and to execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof good and sufficient deeds of conveyance thereto of the estate of title then existing on the Property and bills of sale with covenants of general warranty. Borrower binds itself to warrant and forever defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers when so made by the Trustee, and agrees to accept proceeds of said sale, if any, which are payable to Borrower as provided herein. In addition to the posting and filing of notices hereinabove provided, and for so long as required by law, no foreclosure under the power of sale herein contained shall be held unless Lender, at least twenty one (21) days preceding the date of sale and in the manner prescribed by law, shall have served written notice of the proposed sale which designates the County where the Property will be sold and designates the date, time period, the place and the terms of sale by certified mail on Borrower. Service of such a notice by certified mail shall be completed upon deposit of such notice, postage prepaid and properly addressed to each such person or entity at the address for Borrower indicated on the first page of this Security Instrument, in a Post Office of the United States Postal Service or in an official depository under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service. The affidavit of a person knowledgeable of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of service.
20 |
(b) Should Lender have not elected to accelerate the indebtedness secured hereby, Lender may nonetheless proceed with foreclosure in satisfaction of such Event of Default, either through the courts or by directing the Trustee to proceed as if under a full foreclosure, conducting sale as hereinbefore provided, but without declaring the entire indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument due, and provided that if said sale is made because of such Event of Default, such sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the secured indebtedness. Such sale, if so made, shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the debt secured by this Security Instrument, but as to such unmatured part, this Security Instrument shall remain in full force as though no sale had been made. Several sales may be made without exhausting the right of sale with respect to any unmatured part of the secured indebtedness, it being the purpose and intent hereof to provide for a foreclosure and the sale of the Property for any matured portion of said secured indebtedness without exhausting the power of foreclosure.
(c) In the event foreclosure proceedings are instituted or filed by Lender, all reasonable out of pocket expenses incident to such proceedings, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be paid by Borrower and secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. The secured indebtedness and all other obligations secured by this Security Instrument, including, without limitation, interest at the Default Rate, any prepayment charge, fee or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay principal (to the extent permitted by applicable law), reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other amounts due and unpaid to Lender under the Loan Documents, may be bid by Lender in the event of a foreclosure sale hereunder.
Section 17.3. Waiver of Deficiency Statute.
(a) Waiver. In the event an interest in any of the Property is foreclosed upon pursuant to a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale, Borrower agrees that, 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, Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Borrower and any other party obligated on the Note equal to the difference between the amount owing on the Note and the amount for which the Property was sold pursuant to judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Borrower expressly recognizes that this section constitutes a waiver of the above cited provisions of the Texas Property Code which would otherwise permit Borrower and other persons against whom recovery of deficiencies is sought or any indemnitor or guarantor independently (even absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of the Property 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. Borrower further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates a presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Property for purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Borrower, any indemnitor or guarantor, and others against whom recovery of a deficiency is sought.
21 |
(b) Alternative to Waiver. Alternatively, in the event the waiver provided for in subsection (a) above is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the provisions of this Section 17.3(b) shall be the basis for the finder of fact’s determination of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings governed by Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as amended from time to time). In such event, (i) the Property shall be valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of the Property after foreclosure; (ii) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Property for cash promptly (but no later than 12 months) following the foreclosure sale; (iii) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Property, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance, a survey of the Property, tax prorations, attorneys’ fees, and marketing costs; (iv) the gross fair market value of the Property shall be further discounted to account for estimated holding costs, if any, in excess of estimated operating revenues associated with maintaining the Property pending sale, including, without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, taxes and assessments (to the extent not accounted for in item (iii) above), and other maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (v) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Property must be given by persons having at least five (5) years’ experience in appraising property similar to the Property and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Property taking into consideration the factors set forth above.
Section 17.4. SPECIFIC NOTICE REGARDING INDEMNITIES. IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT INCLUDES INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS WHICH, IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, COULD INCLUDE AN INDEMNIFICATION BY BORROWER OF LENDER FROM CLAIMS OR LOSSES ARISING AS A RESULT OF LENDER’S OWN NEGLIGENCE.
Section 17.5. Financing Statement. This Security Instrument shall also be effective as a financing statement covering as-extracted collateral subject to, and pursuant to the provisions of, Section 9.301 of the Uniform Commercial Code – Secured Transactions, as adopted in Texas as the same may be later amended, and is to be filed for record in the real estate records of the county where the Property is located.
Section 17.6. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of this Security Instrument.
Section 17.7. Texas Assignment of Rents Act. This is a present assignment and Lender’s right to the Rents is not contingent upon, and may be exercised without, possession of the Property. The assignment of rents is subject to Chapter 64 of the Texas Property Code (or its successor). Accordingly, Lender agrees to comply with such statute, including, without limitation, the notice requirement. For purposes of notice, Borrower’s address is indicated in the preamble.
22 |
Section 17.8. Notice of No Oral Agreements. Borrower and Lender hereby take notice of and agree to the following:
(a) PURSUANT TO SUBSECTION 26.02(b) OF THE TEXAS BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE, A LOAN AGREEMENT IN WHICH THE AMOUNT INVOLVED THEREIN EXCEEDS $50,000 IN VALUE IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNLESS THE AGREEMENT IS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY THE PARTY TO BE BOUND OR BY THAT PARTY’S AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE.
(b) PURSUANT TO SUBSECTION 26.02(c) OF THE TEXAS BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE, THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE DETERMINED SOLELY FROM THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND ANY PRIOR ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE SUPERSEDED BY AND MERGED INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(c) THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES THERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES THERETO. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
