TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Premises hereby, together with the rights,
privileges and appurtenances thereto belonging unto the Trustee and Trustee's
successors or substitutes, forever in this trust, and to his or their successors
and assigns forever, IN TRUST, however, upon the terms, provisions and
conditions herein set forth.
THE GRANTOR hereby covenants with and warrants to State Farm and Trustee
and the purchaser at any foreclosure sale that at the execution and delivery
hereof, Grantor is lawfully seized and possessed of and owns the Premises and
every part thereof, and has good and indefeasible title therein, in fee simple;
that the Premises are free from all encumbrances whatsoever (and any claim of
any other person thereto) other than those approved and permitted by State Farm
("PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS") which are listed, described and set forth in EXHIBIT
"B" attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein and made a part
hereof; that it has good and lawful right to sell, convey, mortgage and encumber
the Premises; and that Grantor and its successors and assigns shall forever
warrant and defend the title and quiet possession to the Premises against all
claims and demands whatsoever.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Premises shall secure
all indebtedness presently or hereafter owed State Farm by Grantor, and that the
priority of State Farm's security for all such Indebtedness shall be a first,
sole and exclusive lien and security interest. This paragraph shall serve as
notice to all persons who may seek or obtain a lien on the Premises that until
this Deed of Trust is released, any debt owed State Farm by Grantor, including
advances made subsequent to the recording of this Deed of Trust, shall be
secured with the first lien priority afforded this Deed of Trust as recorded.
ARTICLE THREE

sums due as a result of the nonperformance of any of the covenants, agreements,
and obligations thereof, or as amounts due as a result of a breach of any of the
representations, warranties, and certifications contained therein (including
fees and charges), at the times and in the manner provided in the Loan
Documents. All such sums payable by Grantor shall be paid without demand,
counterclaim, offset, deduction, or defense. Grantor hereby waives all rights
now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to any such demand,
counterclaim, offset, deduction, or defense.
3.3 OTHER PAYMENTS.
(A) Grantor shall deposit, in addition to the monthly
installments of principal and interest required by the Note, monthly until the

annual Taxes (as hereinafter defined) next due on the Premises, all as
estimated by State Farm (the "TAX DEPOSITS");
(II) a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the
annual premium or premiums next payable for the insurance hereinafter
required to be maintained on or with respect to the Premises (the

herein called "OTHER PAYMENTS".
(B) Should the total Tax and Insurance Deposits on hand not
be sufficient to pay all of the Taxes and insurance premiums, together with all
penalties and interest thereon, when the same become due and payable, then the
Grantor shall pay to State Farm promptly on demand any amount necessary to make
up the deficiency. If the total of such Tax and Insurance Deposits exceeds the
amount required to pay the Taxes and insurance premiums, such excess shall be
credited on subsequent payments to be made for such items.
(C) All such Tax and Insurance Deposits:
(I) shall be held by State Farm or a depository
designated by State Farm, in trust, with no obligation to segregate such
payments and without any obligation arising for the payment of any
interest thereon;

ARTICLE TWO; and

of the Grantor.
(D) Provided that no Event of Default (as hereinafter
defined) exists, State Farm agrees to make the payment, to the extent funds are
available, of the Taxes or insurance premiums with reasonable promptness
following its receipt of appropriate tax and/or insurance bills therefor, or
alternatively upon presentation by Grantor of receipted (i.e. paid) tax and/or
insurance bills therefor, State Farm shall reimburse the Grantor for such Taxes
and insurance premium payments made by the Grantor.
(E) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as
hereinafter defined), State Farm may, at its option, without being required to
do so, apply any Tax and Insurance Deposits on hand on account of any of the
Indebtedness, in such order and manner as State Farm may elect. When the
Indebtedness has been fully paid, then any remaining Tax and Insurance Deposits
shall be paid to the Grantor.
3.4 MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, RESTORATION, PRIOR LIENS, PARKING.
The Grantor shall and hereby agrees to:
(A) promptly repair, restore, replace, or rebuild any
portion of the Improvements which may become damaged or destroyed, whether or
not proceeds of insurance are available or sufficient for such purpose, with all
replacements being at least equal in quality and condition as existed prior
thereto, free from any security interest therein, encumbrances thereon, or
reservation of title thereto;
(B) keep the Improvements in good condition and repair,
without waste, and free from mechanics', materialmen's or like liens or claims
or other liens or claims of lien;
(C) complete, within a reasonable time, any Improvements now
or hereafter in the process of construction or erection upon the Real Estate;
(D) comply with all statutes, rules, regulations, orders,
decrees, and other requirements of any governmental body, whether federal,

franchises, and concessions that are applicable to the Premises or its use and
occupancy;

of the occupancy of the Improvements without State Farm's prior written consent;

reclassification with respect to the Premises without State Farm's prior written
consent;

maintain, clean, repair, and adequately light all parking areas upon the Real
Estate of sufficient size to accommodate the greater of (a) the amount of
standard-size vehicles required by law, ordinance, regulation, or (b) required
by the terms of any lease which is subject to the Assignment of Rents and Leases
made by Grantor to and in favor of State Farm of even date herewith, together
with any sidewalks, aisles, streets, driveways and sidewalk cuts and sufficient
paved areas for ingress, egress and rights-of-way to and from the adjacent
thoroughfares necessary or desirable for the use thereof; and
(J) forever warrant and defend its title to the Premises and
the validity, enforceability and priority of the lien and security interests
granted in and by this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents against the
claims and demands of all persons.
3.5 PROPERTY TAXES AND CONTEST OF LIENS.
Notwithstanding the Other Payments required by SECTION 3.3, Grantor
shall be responsible for the payment, when first due and owing and before
delinquency and before any penalty attaches, of all real estate and personal
property taxes and assessments (general or special), water charges, sewer
charges, and any other charges, fees, taxes, claims, levies, charges, expenses,
liens, and assessments, ordinary or extraordinary, governmental or
nongovernmental, statutory or otherwise, that may be asserted against the
Premises or any part thereof or interest therein ("TAXES"). Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, Grantor may, in good faith and with
reasonable diligence, contest the validity or amount of any such Taxes as well
as any mechanics', materialmen's, or other liens or claims of lien upon the
Premises (collectively "CONTESTED LIENS"), provided that:
(A) such contest shall have the effect of preventing the
collection of the Contested Liens and the sale or forfeiture of Premises or any
part thereof or interest therein to satisfy the same; and
(B) Grantor shall first notify State Farm in writing of the
intention of Grantor to contest the same before any Contested Liens have been
increased by any interest, penalties, or costs.
3.6 TAX AND LIEN PAYMENTS BY STATE FARM.
(A) Upon the failure of Grantor to pay the Tax Deposits as
required in SECTION 3.3 or (in the event said payments are waived by State Farm)
to pay the Taxes required to be paid in SECTION 3.5 above, State Farm is
authorized, in its sole discretion, to make any payment of Taxes levied,
assessed or asserted against the Premises, or any part thereof, in accordance
with any tax xxxx or statement from the appropriate public office without
inquiry into the accuracy or validity of any Taxes, sales, forfeiture, or title
or claim relating thereto.
7
(B) State Farm is also authorized, in the place and stead of
Grantor, to make any payment relating to any apparent or threatened adverse
title, lien, claim of lien, encumbrance, claim, charge, or payment otherwise
relating to any other purpose but not enumerated in this Section, whenever, in
State Farm's judgment and discretion, such advance seems necessary to protect
the full security intended to be created by this Deed of Trust.
(C) All such advances authorized by this SECTION 3.6 shall
constitute additional Indebtedness and shall be repaid by Grantor to State Farm
upon demand with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the
date of such advance.
3.7 INSURANCE.
(A) The Grantor shall insure and keep insured the Premises
and each and every part thereof against such perils and hazards as State Farm
may from time to time require, and in any event including:
(I) Property insurance against loss of and damage to
the Improvements by all risks of physical loss or damage, including by
fire, windstorm, flood, and other risks covered by the so-called
extended endorsement in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of
the then current "full replacement cost" of all Improvements, fixtures
and equipment from time to time on the Improvements without deduction
for physical depreciation, with a deductible amount of not more than
$10,000.00;
(II) Commercial general liability insurance against
death, bodily injury and property damage in an amount of not less than
the greater of (A) $1,000,000.00, or (B) the highest amount required to
be carried by the landlord for the Improvements under the terms of the
Credit Leases (as hereinafter defined);
(III) Steam boiler, machinery and pressurized vessel
insurance (if applicable to the Improvements);
(IV) Rent loss insurance in an amount sufficient to
cover loss of rents from the Premises for a minimum of twelve (12)
months;
(V) Affirmative coverage against acts of terrorism;
and
(VI) The types and amounts of coverage as are
customarily maintained by owners or operators of like properties.
(B) Insurance policies required by this SECTION 3.7 shall:
(I) be in amounts and form and issued by companies
satisfactory to State Farm and shall comply with all provisions of this
Deed of Trust;
8
(II) contain endorsements naming State Farm as first
mortgagee under a standard mortgagee clause under the required property,
steam boiler and rent loss insurance policies and as an additional
insured for the commercial general liability insurance policy;
(III) contain endorsements providing for not less than
THIRTY (30) DAYS' written notice from the insurance company to State
Farm prior to any cancellation, non-renewal or termination;
(IV) permit State Farm to pay any premium within
FIFTEEN (15) days after its receipt of notice stating that such premium
has not been paid when due;
(V) require that settlement of any claim under any
of the referenced policies shall require State Farm's prior written
approval; and
(VI) contain exclusions to coverage acceptable to
State Farm.
(C) The policy or policies of such insurance or certificates
of insurance evidencing the required coverage shall be delivered to State Farm
within FIFTEEN (15) days prior to the termination of an existing policy.
(D) Grantor shall not purchase separate insurance policies
concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with those policies
required to be maintained under this SECTION 3.7.
3.8 INSURANCE PREMIUM PAYMENT BY STATE FARM.
(A) In the event the Grantor fails to make the Insurance
Deposits as required by SECTION 3.3 or (if those payments have been waived) upon
State Farm's receipt (I) of notice of an unpaid insurance premium, (II) of
notice of a termination or cancellation of any required insurance policy, or
(III) of notice that a required insurance policy is not to be renewed and
Grantor fails to provide replacement coverage at least FIFTEEN (15) DAYS prior
to the termination of existing coverage, State Farm may, at its option, procure
and substitute another policy of insurance in the amount required pursuant to
the foregoing terms of this Deed of Trust with such companies as State Farm may
select, the cost of which shall be paid by Grantor upon demand should the amount
available from the Insurance Deposit be insufficient to pay the premium
therefor. All sums paid by State Farm in procuring said insurance that are not
promptly reimbursed by the Grantor shall be additional Indebtedness and shall be
immediately due and payable without notice, with interest thereon at the Default
Rate as defined in the Note.
(B) In the event of any insured damage to or destruction of
the Improvements or any part thereof, Grantor shall promptly notify State Farm
and take such steps as necessary to preserve the undamaged portion of the
Improvements. In State Farm's sole discretion all insurance proceeds shall be
applied: (I) to the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of its
maturity (provided, however, no premium or penalty shall be payable in
connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness from the insurance proceeds
as aforesaid), or (II) to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing, or
rebuilding (herein generally called "RESTORATION") the Improvements or any part
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, State Farm agrees that if (I) the
9
insurance proceeds from a casualty affecting the Premises are less than or equal
to $500,000.00; and (II) the casualty occurs prior to the last year of the term
of the Note, then the insurance proceeds paid with respect to the Premises (less
expenses of collection and any expenses incurred in protecting the undamaged
portion of the Improvements in the Premises) shall be disbursed by State Farm to
Grantor as set forth in SECTION 3.10 to restore the Premises to its condition
prior to the casualty, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:
(1) There is no existing Event of Default at the
time of casualty, and if any Event of Default
shall occur after the date of the casualty,
State Farm shall have no further obligation to
release insurance loss proceeds hereunder;
(2) The casualty insurer has not denied liability
for payment of insurance proceeds as a result of
any act, neglect, use or occupancy of the
Premises by Grantor or any tenant of the
Premises;
(3) State Farm shall be satisfied that all insurance
proceeds so held, together with supplemental
funds received from Grantor, shall be sufficient
to complete the restoration or repair of the
Improvements. Any remaining insurance proceeds
may, at the option of State Farm, be applied to
the Indebtedness, whether or not due, or be
released to Grantor; and
(4) If required by State Farm, State Farm shall be
furnished with a satisfactory report addressed
to State Farm from an environmental engineer or
other qualified professional satisfactory to
State Farm certifying that no adverse
environmental impact to the Premises has
resulted from the casualty.
Additionally and notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Credit Lease, as
described in SECTION 3.18(B), requires the Restoration of the Improvements, then
so long as (I) no Event of Default is in existence on the date of such damage or
destruction of the Improvements and no event has occurred as of such date which
with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an
Event of Default, and (II) no tenant under any Credit Lease is in default
thereof as of such date and no event has occurred which, with the passage of
time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default by the tenant
under any Credit Lease, such insurance proceeds, after deducting therefrom any
expenses incurred protecting the undamaged portion of the Improvements and in
the collection of the insurance proceeds, shall be disbursed by State Farm to
Grantor to reimburse Grantor for the cost of Restoration as set forth in SECTION
3.10. If Grantor and/or State Farm elects to have the insurance proceeds applied
to the Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be applied to the installments of the
Indebtedness in the inverse order of maturity (provided, however, no premium or
penalty shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness
from the insurance proceeds as aforesaid).
3.9 CONDEMNATION.
(A) The Grantor shall give State Farm prompt notice of any
proceedings, instituted or threatened, seeking condemnation or taking by eminent
domain or any like process (a "TAKING") of all or any part of the Real Estate or
Improvements including any easement thereon or
10
appurtenance thereto (including severance of, consequential damage to, or change
in grade of streets), and shall deliver to State Farm copies of any and all
papers served in connection with any such proceeding.
(B) Grantor hereby assigns, transfers, and sets over unto
State Farm the entire proceeds of any and all awards resulting from any Taking
(the "AWARD"). State Farm is hereby authorized to collect and receive from the
condemnation authorities the entire Award and is further authorized to give
appropriate receipts and acquittances therefor.
(C) In the event of any such Taking, any and all such Award
shall be applied, in State Farm's sole discretion: (I) to the installments of
the Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity (provided, however, no
premium or penalty shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the
Indebtedness made out of such Award as aforesaid); or (II) to the cost of
Restoration of the Real Estate and Improvements or any part thereof. Provided
however, if any Credit Lease, as described in SECTION 3.18(B), requires the
Restoration of the Improvements, then so long as (I) no Event of Default is in
existence on the date of such Taking and no event has occurred as of such date
which with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute
an Event of Default, and (II) no tenant under any Credit Lease is in default
thereof as of such date and no event has occurred which, with the passage of
time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default by the tenant
under any Credit Lease, such Award, after deducting therefrom any expenses
incurred in the collection of the Award, shall be used to reimburse Grantor for
the cost of Restoration as set forth in SECTION 3.10.
3.10 RESTORATION USING PROCEEDS.
(A) In the event State Farm elects to make any Proceeds
available for Restoration of the Real Estate and/or Improvements, Grantor shall
complete, in form and with supporting documentation reasonably required by State
Farm, an estimate of the cost to repair or to restore the Real Estate and
Improvements to the condition at least equal to the condition in which they
existed prior to such damage, destruction or Taking, free from any security
interest in, lien or encumbrances on, or reservation of title to such Real
Estate and Improvements.
(B) The Proceeds necessary to complete Restoration shall be
held by State Farm, or if State Farm so desires, a disbursing agent selected by
State Farm. Said Proceeds may be invested using Grantor's taxpayer
identification number in an interest bearing account mutually acceptable to
Grantor and State Farm. The costs and expenses of administering disbursements
shall be paid by Grantor. In the event the amount of the Proceeds are
insufficient to cover the cost of Restoration, Grantor shall pay the cost of
Restoration in excess of the Proceeds before being entitled to any reimbursement
from the Proceeds.
(C) Subject to State Farm's right to limit the
number of disbursements, the Proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon
State Farm's being furnished with architect's certificates, waivers of lien,
contractor's sworn statements, and such other evidences as State Farm or any
disbursing agent may reasonably require to verify the cost and fact of the
completion of the Improvements included in said disbursement. Under no
circumstances shall any portion of the Proceeds be released until State Farm has
been reasonably assured that the Proceeds
11
remaining after the requested disbursement will be sufficient to complete
Restoration. No Payment made prior to the final completion of Restoration shall
exceed NINETY PERCENT (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to
time. The amounts of each Payment retained for construction costs will be
disbursed upon satisfactory completion of one hundred percent (100%) of the work
and Lender's receipt of a final waiver of lien with respect to such completed
work or delivered materials. Any Proceeds remaining after Restoration shall be
applied at State Farm's option against the Indebtedness in the inverse order of
its maturity.
3.11 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
(A) Without the prior written consent of State Farm or as
set forth in this Deed of Trust:
(I) Grantor shall not create, effect, contract for,
commit or consent to, nor shall Grantor suffer or permit any sale,
conveyance, transfer, assignment, collateral assignment, lien, other
than Contested Liens as defined and permitted in SECTION 3.5 of this
Deed of Trust, pledge, mortgage, security interest, or other
hypothecation, encumbrance or alienation (or any agreement to do any of
the foregoing) of the Premises, or any interest therein or title
thereto, (excepting, however, the sale or other disposition of

State Farm, in its sole discretion; and

such payment, State Farm may elect, by notice in writing given to the Grantor,

19
3.16 DECLARATION OF SUBORDINATION.
At the option of State Farm, this Deed of Trust shall become subject and
subordinate, in whole or in part (but not with respect to priority of
entitlement to insurance proceeds or any Award) to any and all Leases of all or
any part of the Premises upon the execution by State Farm and recording thereof,
at any time hereafter and in the appropriate official records of the county
wherein the Real Estate is situated, or a unilateral declaration to that effect.
3.17 USURY.
This Deed of Trust has been executed under, and shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the STATE OF TEXAS, except as such laws
are preempted by federal law. This Deed of Trust and all of the other Loan
Documents are intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the
extent permitted by, all applicable usury laws. If any provision hereof or of
any of the other Loan Documents or the application thereof to any person or
circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, neither the application of such provision to any other person or
circumstance nor the remainder of the instrument in which such provision is
contained shall be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent
permitted by applicable laws. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the
intent of Grantor and State Farm to at all times comply with the usury and other
applicable laws now or hereafter governing the interest payable on the
Indebtedness. If the applicable law is ever revised, repealed or judicially
interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or
under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken,
reserved or received with respect to the Indebtedness, or if State Farm's
exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness, or if any
prepayment of the Indebtedness results in the payment of any interest in excess
of that permitted by law, then it is the express intent of Grantor and State
Farm that all excess amounts theretofore collected by State Farm be credited on
the principal balance of the Note (or, if the Note and all of such other
Indebtedness have been paid in full, refunded), and the provisions of the Note
and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts
thereafter collectable hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity
of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable
laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called
for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, for the use,
forbearance , detention, taking, charging, receiving or reserving on the
Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, be amortized,
prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness
until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such
Indebtedness does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect and
applicable thereto for so long as debt is outstanding under the Indebtedness. To
the extent that State Farm is relying on CHAPTER 303 of the TEXAS FINANCE CODE
to determine the maximum rate ("MAXIMUM RATE") payable on the Indebtedness,
State Farm will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as
provided in such Chapter 303. To the extent federal law permits State Farm to
contract for, charge or receive a greater amount of interest, State Farm will
rely on federal law instead of such article, as amended, for the purpose of
determining the Maximum Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by
applicable law now in effect, State Farm may, at its option and from time to
time, implement any other method of computing the Maximum Rate under such
article, as amended, or under other applicable law by giving notice, if
required, to Grantor as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.
In no event shall the provisions of CHAPTER 346 of the TEXAS FINANCE
20
CODE (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving
triparty accounts) apply to the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the
intention of State Farm to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not
accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the
time of such acceleration.
3.18 LEASE OBLIGATIONS.
(A) Grantor covenants and agrees to keep, observe and
perform and to require all tenants of the Premises to keep, observe and perform
all the covenants, agreements and provisions of any present or future Leases,
including the Credit Leases described herein, of the Premises on their
respective part to be kept, observed and performed. If Grantor shall neglect or
refuse to so perform or fail to require such tenants to so perform, then State
Farm may, at its option, itself perform and comply or require performance or
compliance by such tenants with any such lease covenants, agreements and
provisions. Any sums expended by State Farm in performance or compliance with
such Leases or in enforcing performance or compliance with such Leases by the
tenants, including costs and expenses and attorneys' fees, shall be paid by
Grantor upon demand with interest thereon at the Default Rate as defined in the
Note and in the absence of such payment all such sums shall be deemed to be and
become part of the Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust.
(B) Grantor, as further security for the payment of the
Indebtedness, has, pursuant to this Deed of Trust and by separate Assignment of
Rents and Leases of even date herewith, sold, transferred and assigned to State
Farm, its successors and assigns, all of Grantor's right, title and interest, as
landlord, in, to and under certain leases demising all or a portion of the
Premises, together with the Rents provided therein, including, without
limitation, those lease or leases (the "CREDIT LEASES") identified as follows:

Grantor expressly covenants and agrees that if Grantor, as landlord under the
Credit Leases, fails to perform and fulfill any term, covenant, condition or
provision in said Credit Leases on its part to be performed or fulfilled, at the
times and in the manner in the Credit Leases provided, or if Grantor suffers or
permits to occur any breach or default under the provisions of said Credit
Leases, or if Grantor fails to fully protect, insure, preserve and to cause
continued performance or fulfillment of the terms, covenants or provisions in
said Credit Leases required to be performed or fulfilled by any tenant therein
or if Grantor, without State Farm's prior written consent, permits or approves
an assignment by any tenant under the Credit Leases or a subletting of all or
any part of the Premises demised in the Credit Leases, then in any such event,
at the option of State Farm, and without notice to the Grantor, such breach or
default shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and at the option of
State Farm, all unpaid Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust shall,
notwithstanding anything in the Note, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan
Documents to the contrary, become due and payable as in case of other Events of
Default.
21
3.19 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE.
Grantor hereby agrees to comply and cause all tenants of the Premises to
comply with any and all Federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations
relating to environmental protection including, but not limited to, the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
("CERCLA"), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of
1986, and such other legislation, rules and regulations as are in, or may
hereafter come into, effect and apply to Grantor, State Farm, the Loan or the
Premises or any occupancy users thereof, whether as lessees, tenants, licensees,
or otherwise. Grantor shall defend, indemnify and save and hold State Farm
harmless from and against any and all claims, costs or expenses relating to such
environmental protection provisions notwithstanding any exculpatory or
limitation of liability provisions contained in this Deed of Trust and the other
Loan Documents.
3.20 FURTHER ASSURANCES.
(A) Grantor shall do all acts necessary to keep valid and
effective the lien and security interest created by this Deed of Trust and the
security intended to be afforded by the Loan Documents and to carry into effect
their objectives.
(B) Grantor shall, upon the request of State Farm from time
to time, and in the event all or any portion of the Premises is leased to a
person or entity affiliated with an Exculpated Party (hereinafter defined in
SECTION 8.11), Grantor will cause such person or entity to execute, acknowledge
and deliver all such additional papers and instruments and perform all such
further acts as may be reasonably necessary to perform the Obligations and, as
State Farm deems reasonably necessary, to evidence, perfect or confirm the liens
and security interests, or the priority thereof, created by this Deed of Trust
and the other Loan Documents.
(C) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Grantor will promptly and, insofar as not contrary to applicable law, at
Grantor's expense, execute, record, rerecord, file and refile in such offices,
at such times and as often as may be necessary, this Deed of Trust, additional
mortgages, security agreements, and every other instrument in addition to or
supplemental hereto, including applicable financing statements, continuation
statements, affidavits or certificates as may be necessary to create, perfect,
maintain, continue, extend and/or preserve the liens, encumbrances and security
interests intended to be granted and created in and by the Loan Documents and
the rights and remedies of State Farm and Grantor thereunder. Upon request of
State Farm, Grantor shall promptly supply evidence of fulfillment of the
foregoing acts and further assurances.
3.21 CHANGE OF NAME, IDENTITY OR STRUCTURE
Except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement or permitted by
State Farm in writing, BHES and BHEH shall not change its name, identity
(including its trade name or names) or, if not an individual, its corporate,
partnership, limited liability company or other structure without notifying
State Farm at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change
and, in the case of a change in the Grantor's structure, without first obtaining
the prior written consent of State Farm.

ARTICLE FOUR
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
4.1 DEFAULTS.
It shall constitute an event of default ("EVENT OF DEFAULT") of and
under this Deed of Trust and, at the option of State Farm under the other Loan

payment of money, including the payment of principal and/or interest under the
Note;
(B) Grantor shall fail to timely observe, perform or
discharge any of the non-monetary Obligations, other than a non-monetary

may be otherwise specified in the applicable Loan Document (the "GRACE PERIOD")
after notice to Grantor of the occurrence of such failure; provided, however,
that State Farm may extend any applicable Grace Period up to NINETY (90) DAYS if
State Farm determines in good faith that: (i) such default cannot reasonably be
cured within such Grace Period but can be cured within NINETY (90) DAYS; (ii) no
lien or security interest created by the Loan Documents shall be impaired prior
to the anticipated completion of such cure; and (iii) State Farm's immediate
exercise of any remedies provided in this Deed of Trust or by law is not
necessary for the protection or preservation of the Premises or State Farm's
security interest therein or lien thereon, and Grantor shall immediately
commence and diligently pursue the cure of such default;
(C) Grantor, as landlord or sublandlord, as the case may be,
shall assign or otherwise encumber the Rents or any interest therein without
first obtaining the written consent of State Farm;
(D) Grantor shall, after the expiration of all applicable
grace or cure periods, default or be in default under any agreement to which

the borrowing of money by Grantor from any natural person, corporation, limited
liability company, partnership, firm, association, government, governmental
agency or any other entity, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or other
capacity (each a "PERSON"), and such default shall give rise to or result in any
material and adverse change in the financial condition of Grantor or any
Exculpated Party (hereinafter defined in SECTION 8.11), affecting the condition,
use or operation of the Premises or State Farm's security for the Loan
("MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE"), including a default by Grantor under any loan
documents evidencing or relating to a lien on the Premises which is junior and
subordinate to this Deed of Trust;

in, under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents be false or misleading in any
material respect as of the date on which such representation or warranty was
made or deemed remade;
23
(F) Should any of the Loan Documents cease to be in full
force and effect or be declared null and void, or cease to constitute valid and
subsisting liens and/or valid and perfected security interests in, to, or upon
the Premises, or should Grantor contest or deny in writing any of its
liabilities or Obligations under any of the Loan Documents;
(G) Should any violation of SECTION 3.11 (A) occur or should
any other event occur which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, would permit
State Farm to accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness;
(H) Should Grantor fail at any time to satisfy the
requirements of SECTION 3.7 and such failure shall continue for FIFTEEN (15)
DAYS after written notice thereof;
(I) Should Grantor or any entity comprising Grantor
generally not pay its debts as they become due or admit in writing its inability
to pay its debts, or make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors and
such events cause or result in a Material Adverse Change;

proceeding or other action seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
liquidation, dissolution or composition of it and its debts under any law
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or
seeking to have an order for relief entered against it as debtor, or seeking
appointment of a Receiver for it or for all or any substantial part of its
property (collectively, a "PROCEEDING") and such events cause or result in a
Material Adverse Change;
(K) Should Exculpated Party take an action to authorize any
of the actions set forth above in PARAGRAPHS (I) OR (J) OF THIS SECTION 4.1;
(L) Should any Proceeding be commenced against any
Exculpated Party, and such Proceeding results in the entry of an order for
relief against it which is not fully stayed within SEVEN (7) BUSINESS DAYS after
the entry thereof or not satisfied for a period of FORTY-FIVE (45) DAYS; or
(M) Should (I) final judgment, other than a final judgment
in connection with any condemnation, and including any judgment or other final
determination of any contest permitted by SECTION 3.5 of this Deed of Trust, be
entered against Grantor that (A) adversely affects the value, use, or operation
of the Premises, or (B) adversely affects, or reasonably may tend to adversely
affect, the validity, enforceability, or priority of the lien or security
interests created in and by this Deed of Trust, or the other Loan Documents, or
both, or (II) execution or other final process issue thereon with respect to the
Premises, and Grantor shall fail to discharge the same, or provide for its
discharge in accordance with its terms, or procure a stay of execution thereon,
in any event within THIRTY (30) DAYS from entry, or shall not within such
period, or such longer period during which execution on such judgment shall have
been stayed, appeal therefrom or from the order, decree, or process upon or
pursuant to which such judgment shall have been entered and cause its execution
to be stayed during such appeal, or if on appeal such order, decree, or process
shall be affirmed and Grantor shall not discharge such judgment or provide for
its discharge in accordance with its terms within THIRTY (30) DAYS after the

24
ARTICLE FIVE
REMEDIES
If an Event of Default shall occur, State Farm may exercise any
one or more of the following remedies and shall, in addition to any other
rights, have the following related rights, without notice (unless notice is
required by applicable laws):
5.1 ACCELERATION.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, State Farm shall have the
option of declaring all Indebtedness in its entirety to be immediately due and
payable, and the liens and security interests evidenced hereby shall be subject
to foreclosure in any manner provided for herein or provided for by applicable
law as State Farm may elect.
5.2 POSSESSION.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or any event or circumstance
which, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute
a Default hereunder, State Farm is authorized prior or subsequent to the
institution of any foreclosure proceedings to enter upon the Premises, or any
part thereof, and to take possession of the Premises and of all books, records
and accounts relating thereto and to exercise without interference from Grantor
any and all rights which Grantor has with respect to the management, possession,
operation, protection or preservation of the Premises, including the right to
rent the same for the account of Grantor and to deduct from such rents all
costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by State Farm in
collecting such rents and in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or
preserving the Premises and to apply the remainder of such rents to the
Indebtedness in such manner as State Farm may elect in its sole discretion. All
such costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by State Farm in collecting such
rents and in managing, operating, maintaining or preserving the Premises, if not
paid out of rents as herein above provided, shall constitute a demand obligation
owing by Grantor and shall be subject to and covered by SECTION 5.15 hereof. If
necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, State Farm may invoke any
and all legal remedies to dispossess Grantor, including, without limitation, one
or more actions for forcible entry and detainer, trespass to try title and
restitution. In connection with any action taken by State Farm pursuant to this
Paragraph, State Farm shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Grantor
resulting from any failure to rent the Premises, or any part thereof, or from
any other act or omission of State Farm in managing the Premises unless such
loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of State Farm, nor shall
State Farm be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or
liability under any Lease covering the Premises or any part thereof or under or
by reason of this instrument or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder.
Grantor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify State Farm for, and to hold
State Farm (which shall include the directors, officers, partners, employees,
representatives, attorneys, and agents of State Farm and any persons or entities
owned or controlled by, owning or controlling or under common control or
affiliated with State Farm) harmless from, any and all liability, loss or damage
which may or might be incurred by State Farm under any Lease or under or by
reason of this Deed of Trust or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder and
from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against
State Farm by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to
perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any
Lease. Should
25
State Farm incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including costs,
expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be subject to and covered by
SECTION 5.15 hereof. Nothing in this Section shall impose any duty, obligation
or responsibility upon State Farm for the control, care, management or repair of
the Premises, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any
such Lease; nor shall it operate to make State Farm responsible or liable for
any waste committed on the Premises by the tenants or by any other parties or
for any dangerous or defective condition of the Premises, or for any negligence
in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Premises resulting in loss
or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger. Grantor hereby
assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of State Farm with respect
to the Premises taken under this Section and agrees that the foregoing indemnity
shall not terminate upon release, foreclosure or other termination of this Deed
of Trust.
5.3 FORECLOSURE.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Trustee, his successor or
substitute, is authorized and empowered and it shall be his special duty at the
request of State Farm to sell the Premises or any part thereof situated in the
STATE OF TEXAS at the courthouse of any county in the STATE OF TEXAS in which
any part of the Premises is situated, at public venue to the highest bidder for
cash. The sale shall take place at such area of the courthouse as shall be
properly designated from time to time by the commissioners court (or, if not so
designated by the commissioners court, at the courthouse door) of the specified
county, between the hours of 10 o'clock a.m. and 4 o'clock p.m. (the
commencement of such sale to occur within three hours following the time
designated in the hereinafter described notice of sale as the earliest time at
which such sale shall occur, if required by applicable laws) on the first
Tuesday in any month after having given notice of such sale at least twenty-one
(21) days before the day of sale of the time, place and terms of said sale
(including the earliest time at which such sale shall occur) in accordance with
the statutes of the STATE OF TEXAS then in force governing sales of real estate
under powers conferred by deeds of trust. Notice of a sale of all or part of the
Premises by Trustee shall be given by posting written notice thereof at the
courthouse door (or other area in the courthouse as may be designated for such
public notices) of the county in which the sale is to be made, and by filing a
copy of the notice in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the
sale is to be made at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of the sale,
and if the Premises to be sold is in more than one county, a notice shall be
posted at the courthouse door and filed with the county clerk of each county in
which the Premises is situated. In addition, State Farm shall, at least
twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of sale, serve written notice of the
proposed sale by certified mail on Grantor and each debtor obligated to pay the
Indebtedness or any portion thereof according to the records of State Farm.
Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the notice, enclosed
in a postpaid certified mail wrapper, properly addressed to Grantor and each
such debtor at the most recent address as shown by the records of State Farm, 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. Any sale made by Trustee hereunder may be as an entirety or
in such parcels as State Farm may request, and any sale may be adjourned by
announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale without further
notice except as may be required by law. The sale by Trustee of less than the
whole of the Premises shall not exhaust the power of sale herein granted, and
Trustee is specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales under such
power until the whole of the Premises shall be sold; and, if the
26
proceeds of such sale of less than the whole of the Premises shall be less than
the aggregate of the Indebtedness and the expense of executing this trust as
provided herein, this Deed of Trust and the lien hereof shall remain in full
force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Premises just as though no sale
had been made; provided, however, that Grantor shall never have any right to
require the sale of less than the whole of the Premises but State Farm shall
have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than the
whole of the Premises. After each sale, Trustee shall make to the purchaser or
purchasers at such sale good and sufficient conveyances in the name of Grantor,
conveying the property so sold to the purchaser or purchasers in fee simple with
general warranty of title, and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales
and apply the same as herein provided. Payment of the purchase price to Trustee
shall satisfy the obligation of purchaser at such sale therefor, and such
purchaser shall not be responsible for the application thereof. The power of
sale granted herein shall not be exhausted by any sale held hereunder by Trustee
or his substitute or successor, and such power of sale may be exercised from
time to time and as many times as State Farm may deem necessary until all of the
Premises has been duly sold and all Indebtedness has been fully paid. In the
event any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of
State Farm, such sale shall not exhaust the power of sale hereunder and State
Farm shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made
hereunder. Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any deed or
deeds given by Trustee or any successor or substitute appointed hereunder as to
nonpayment of the Indebtedness, or as to the occurrence of any Event of Default,
or as to State Farm having declared all of such Indebtedness to be due and
payable, or as to the request to sell, or as to notice of time, place and terms
of sale and of the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to the
refusal, failure or inability to act of Trustee or any substitute or successor,
or as to the appointment of any substitute or successor Trustee, or as to any
other act or thing having been duly done by State Farm or by Trustee or any
substitute or successor, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of
the facts so stated and recited. Trustee, his successor or substitute, may
appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts
necessary or incident to any sale held by Trustee, including, without
limitation, the posting of notices and the conducting of sales, but in the name
and on behalf of Trustee, his successor or substitute.
5.4 JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE.
This Deed of Trust shall be effective as a mortgage as well as a deed of
trust and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default may be foreclosed as to any
of the Premises in any manner permitted by the laws of the STATE OF TEXAS or of
any other state in which any part of the Premises is situated, and any
foreclosure suit may be brought by Trustee or by State Farm. In the event a
foreclosure hereunder shall be commenced by Trustee, or his substitute or
successor, State Farm may at any time before the sale of the Premises direct
Trustee to abandon the sale, and may then institute suit for the collection of
the Indebtedness, and/or for the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust. It is agreed
that if State Farm should institute a suit for the collection of the
Indebtedness and/or for the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, State Farm may at
any time before the entry of a final judgment in said suit dismiss the same, and
require Trustee, his substitute or successor to sell the Premises in accordance
with the provisions of this Deed of Trust.
5.5 RECEIVER.
27
In addition to all other remedies herein provided for, Grantor agrees
that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or any event or circumstance
which, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute
an Event of Default, State Farm shall as a matter of right be entitled to the
appointment of a receiver or receivers for all or any part of the Premises,
whether such receivership be incident to a proposed sale of the Premises or
otherwise, and without regard to the value of the Premises or the solvency of
any person or persons liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, and Grantor
does hereby consent to the appointment of such receiver or receivers, waives any
and all defenses to such appointment and agrees not to oppose any application
therefor by State Farm, but nothing herein is to be construed to deprive State
Farm of any other right, remedy or privilege it may now have under the law to
have a receiver appointed; provided, however, that the appointment of such
receiver or other appointee by virtue of any court order, statute or regulation
shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of State Farm to receive
payment of the Rents pursuant to the Assignment of Rents and Leases dated of
even date herewith. Any money advanced by State Farm in connection with any such
receivership shall be subject to and covered by SECTION 5.15 hereof.
5.6 PROCEEDS OF SALE.
The proceeds of any sale held by Trustee or any receiver or public
officer in foreclosure of the liens evidenced hereby shall be applied:
FIRST, to the payment of all necessary costs and expenses
incident to such foreclosure sale, including but not limited to, all
court costs and charges of every character in the event foreclosed by
suit, attorneys' fees and a reasonable fee to Trustee acting under the
provisions of SECTION 5.3 if foreclosed by power of sale as provided in
said paragraph, not exceeding five percent (5%) of the proceeds of such
sale;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the Indebtedness (including,
without limitation, the principal and interest due and unpaid on the
Note, attorneys' fees and any other amounts due and unpaid and owed to
State Farm under this Deed of Trust) in such order as State Farm may
elect in its sole direction; and
THIRD, the remainder, if any there shall be paid to Grantor or
to such other party or parties as may be entitled thereto by applicable
law.
5.7 STATE FARM AS PURCHASER.
State Farm shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held
by any Trustee or substitute or successor or by any receiver or public officer,
and any State Farm purchasing at any such sale shall have the right to credit
upon the amount of the bid made therefor, to the extent necessary to satisfy
such bid, the Indebtedness owing to such State Farm.
5.8 ADDITIONAL REMEDIES UNDER THE BUSINESS CODE.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, State Farm may exercise its
rights of enforcement with respect to the personal property under the Texas
Business and Commerce Code, as
28
amended, (the "CODE") and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution
for those rights and remedies:
(A) State Farm may enter upon the Premises to take
possession of, assemble and collect the Personalty or to render it
unusable; and
(B) State Farm may require Grantor to assemble the
Personalty and make it available at a place State Farm designates which
is mutually convenient to allow State Farm to take possession or dispose
of the Personalty; and
(C) written notice mailed to Grantor as provided herein TEN
(10) days prior to the date of public sale of the Personalty or prior to
the date after which any private sale of the Personalty will be made
shall constitute reasonable notice; and
(D) any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this Section
shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially
reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with the sale of the
Premises under power of sale as provided herein upon giving the same
notice with respect to the sale of the Personalty hereunder as is
required for such sale of the Premises under power of sale; and
(E) in the event of a foreclosure sale, whether made by
Trustee under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court, the
Personalty and the balance of Premises may, at the option of State Farm,
be sold as a whole; and
(F) it shall not be necessary that State Farm take
possession of the Personalty or any part thereof prior to the time that
any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section is conducted and it
shall not be necessary that the Personalty or any part thereof be
present at the location of such sale; and
(G) prior to application of proceeds of disposition of the
Personalty to the Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be applied to the
reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease,
selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable attorneys' fees and
legal expenses incurred by State Farm; and
(H) any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in
any xxxx of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any
foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of the Indebtedness or as to
the occurrence of any Event of Default, or as to State Farm having
declared all of such Indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to notice
of time, place and terms of sale and of the properties to be sold having
been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done
by State Farm, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of
the facts so stated and recited; and
(I) State Farm may appoint or delegate any one or more
persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any
sale held by State Farm, including the sending of notices and the
conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of State Farm.
30
5.9 PARTIAL FORECLOSURE.
In the event of an Event of Default in the payment of any part of the
Indebtedness, State Farm shall have the right to proceed with foreclosure of the
liens and security interests evidenced hereby without declaring the entire
Indebtedness due, and in such event any such foreclosure sale may be made
subject to the unmatured part of the Indebtedness; and any such sale shall not
in any manner affect the unmatured part of the Indebtedness, but as to such
unmatured part this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect just as
though no sale had been made. The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied as
provided in SECTION 5.6 except that the amount paid under subparagraph SECOND
thereof shall be only the matured portion of the Indebtedness and any proceeds
of such sale in excess of those provided for in subparagraphs FIRST and SECOND
(modified as provided above) shall be applied to installments of principal of
and interest on the Note in the inverse order of maturity. Several sales may be
made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of
the Indebtedness.
5.10 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
All remedies herein expressly provided for are cumulative of any and all
other remedies existing at law or in equity and are cumulative of any and all
other remedies provided for in any of the other Loan Documents, or any part
thereof, or otherwise benefiting State Farm, and Trustee and State Farm shall,
in addition to the remedies herein provided, be entitled to avail themselves of
all such other remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity for
the collection of the Indebtedness and the enforcement of the covenants herein
and the foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced hereby, and
resort to any remedy provided for hereunder or under any such Loan Documents or
provided for by law shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of
any other appropriate remedy or remedies.
5.11 RESORT TO ANY SECURITY.
State Farm may resort to any security given by this Deed of Trust or to
any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the
Indebtedness, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may
seem best to State Farm in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such action
shall not in any way be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits,
liens or security interests evidenced by this Deed of Trust.
5.12 WAIVER.
To the full extent Grantor may do so, Grantor agrees that Grantor will
not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of
any law now or hereafter in force pertaining to the rights and remedies of
sureties or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or
redemption, and Grantor, for Grantor and Grantor's heirs, devisees,
representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever
claiming any interest in the Premises, to the extent permitted by law, hereby
waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of
execution, notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the
Indebtedness, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the
Indebtedness and all rights to a marshaling of the assets of Grantor, including,
without limitation, the Premises, or to a sale in inverse order of
31
alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests
hereby created. Grantor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or
rule of law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of
alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of
decedents or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of
State Farm under the terms of this Deed of Trust to a sale of the Premises for
the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort of
collection, or the right of State Farm under the terms of this Deed of Trust to
the payment of such Indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Premises in
preference to every other claimant whatever. If any law referred to in this
Section and now in force, of which Grantor or Grantor's heirs, devisees,
representatives, successors and assigns and such other persons claiming any
interest in the Premises might take advantage despite this Section, shall
hereafter be repealed or cease to be enforced, such law shall not thereafter be
deemed to preclude the application of this Section.
5.13 DELIVERY OF POSSESSION AFTER FORECLOSURE.
In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of
such sale Grantor or Grantor's heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or
assigns or any other persons claiming any interest in the Premises by, through
or under Grantor are occupying or using the Premises, or any part thereof, each
and all shall immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which
tenancy shall be a tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will of either
landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the
property occupied, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser. In the event
the tenant fails to surrender possession of said property upon demand, the
purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for forcible
entry and detainer of said property in the appropriate court having
jurisdiction.
5.14 TENDER AFTER ACCELERATION.
If, following the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration
of the Indebtedness but prior to the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, Grantor
shall tender to State Farm payment of an amount sufficient to pay the entire
Indebtedness, such tender shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment under the
Note and, consequently, Grantor shall also pay to State Farm any charge or
premium required under the Note or any other Loan Documents to be paid in order
to prepay principal and, if such principal payment is made during any period
when prepayment is prohibited by this Deed of Trust, the Note or any of the
other Loan Documents the applicable charge or premium shall be the maximum
prepayment penalty provided for in the Note; provided, however, that in the
event any amount payable under this Section is deemed interest, in no event
shall such amount when added to the interest otherwise payable on the Note and
the other Indebtedness exceed the maximum interest permitted under applicable
law.
5.15 EXPENSES.
In (I) any action to foreclose the lien of this Deed of Trust or enforce
any other remedy of State Farm under any of the Loan Documents, or (II) any
other proceeding whatsoever in connection with any of the Loan Documents or the
Premises in which State Farm is named as a party, there shall be allowed and
included, as additional indebtedness in the judgment or decree for sale
resulting therefrom, all expenses paid or incurred in connection with such
proceeding by or on behalf of State
31
Farm including, without limitation, attorneys' and paralegals' fees, appraisers'
fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges,
publication costs, land and environmental survey costs, and costs (which may be
estimated as to items to be expended after entry of such judgment or decree) of
procuring all abstracts of title, title certificates, title searches and
examinations, title insurance policies, and any similar data and assurances with
respect to the title to the Premises as State Farm may deem reasonably necessary
either to prosecute or defend in such proceeding or to evidence to bidders at
any sale pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or value of
the Premises. All expenses and fees of the ongoing nature, and such expenses and
fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Premises and the maintenance of
the lien of this Deed of Trust thereon in any litigation affecting the Loan
Documents, or the Premises, including probate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in
preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit
or proceeding in connection therewith, shall upon demand of State Farm be
immediately due and payable by Grantor with interest thereon at the Default Rate
and shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust.
5.16 STATE FARM'S RIGHT TO PERFORM.
Unless otherwise provided herein, if Grantor shall at any time fail to
perform or comply with any of the terms, covenants and conditions required on
Grantor's part to be performed and complied with under any of the Loan Documents
or any other agreement that, under the terms of this Deed of Trust, Grantor is
required to perform, then State Farm may, at its option and in its sole
discretion, without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse:
(I) make any payments hereunder or thereunder payable by
Grantor; and/or
(II) after the expiration of any applicable grace period and
subject to State Farm's rights to contest certain obligations specifically
granted in this Deed of Trust, perform any such other acts thereunder on part of
the Grantor to be performed and enter upon the Premises for such purpose.
5.17 NO WAIVER BY EXERCISE.
The exercise of any right or remedy by State Farm hereunder shall not in
any way constitute a cure or waiver of any default or Event of Default hereunder
or under the Loan Documents, or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice
of default, or prejudice State Farm in the exercise of any of its rights
hereunder or under the Loan Documents.
ARTICLE SIX
TRUSTEES
6.1 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.
Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed to State Farm,
or Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in
writing executed by State Farm. In case of the death, resignation, removal or
disqualification of Trustee or if for any reason State Farm shall deem it
desirable to appoint a substitute or successor Trustee to act instead of the
herein named Trustee or any substitute or successor Trustee, then State Farm
shall have the right and is hereby

authorized and empowered to appoint a successor Trustee, or a substitute
Trustee, without formality other than appointment and designation in writing
executed by State Farm and the authority hereby conferred shall extend to the
appointment of other successor and substitute Trustees successively until the
Indebtedness has been paid in full or until the Premises is sold hereunder. In
the event the Indebtedness is owned by more than one person or entity, the
holders of not less than a majority in the amount of such Indebtedness shall
have the right and authority to make the appointment of a successor or
substitute Trustee provided for in the preceding sentence. Such appointment and
designation by State Farm or by the holder or holders of not less than a
majority of the Indebtedness shall be full evidence of the right and authority
to make the same and of all facts therein recited. If of State Farm such
appointment is executed on behalf of State Farm by an officer of State Farm,
such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority
and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of
directors or any superior officer of the association or corporation. Upon the
making of any such appointment and designation, all of the estate and title of
Trustee in the Premises shall vest in the named successor or substitute Trustee
and he shall thereupon succeed to and shall hold, possess and execute all the
rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee;
but nevertheless, upon the written request of State Farm or of the successor or
substitute Trustee, Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor or substitute Trustee all of the
estate and title in the Premises of Trustee so ceasing to act, together with all
the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon
Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the properties and
moneys held by said Trustee hereunder to said successor or substitute Trustee.
All references herein to Trustee shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including
any successor or substitute appointed and designated as herein provided) from
time to time acting hereunder. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all
acts which the herein named Trustee or his successor or successors, substitute
or substitutes, in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof.
6.2 LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEE.
TRUSTEE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY ERROR OF JUDGMENT OR ACT DONE BY
TRUSTEE IN GOOD FAITH, OR BE OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE OR ACCOUNTABLE UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TRUSTEE'S NEGLIGENCE),
EXCEPT FOR TRUSTEE'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. Trustee shall have
the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or
supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by him hereunder, believed
by him in good faith to be genuine. 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 law), and Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any moneys received by him hereunder. Grantor will
reimburse Trustee for, and indemnify and save him harmless against, any and all
liability and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees) which may be incurred by him in the performance of his duties hereunder
(Trustee shall include the directors, officers, partners, employees,
representatives and agents of Trustee and any persons or entities owned or
controlled by, owning or controlling or under common control or affiliated with
Trustee). The foregoing indemnity shall not terminate upon release, foreclosure
or other termination of this Deed of Trust.
33
6.3 EMPLOYMENT OF AGENTS.
The Trustee, or any one acting in his stead, shall have, in his
discretion, authority to employ all proper agents and attorneys in the execution
of this trust and/or in the conducting of any sale made pursuant to the terms
hereof, and to pay for such services rendered out of the proceeds of the sale of
the Premises, should any be realized; and if no sale be made or if the proceeds
of sale be insufficient to pay the same, then Grantor hereby undertakes and
agrees to pay the cost of such services rendered to said Trustee. The Trustee
may rely on any document believed by him in good faith to be genuine. All money
received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in
trust, but need not be segregated (except to the extent required by law), and
Trustee shall not be liable for interest thereon.

defense of Grantor or any other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any
cause whatsoever of the liability of Grantor or any other Person. Until the
Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Grantor shall not have any right to
subrogation, and Grantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which Grantor
now has or may hereafter have against State Farm or against any other Person and
waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any Collateral or security
whatsoever now or hereafter held by State Farm for or with respect to the
Indebtedness and/or the Obligations.

secured by this Deed of Trust.

8.3 COVENANTS OF DEED OF TRUST RUN WITH TITLE TO THE REAL ESTATE.
The covenants and obligations set forth in this Deed of Trust are

such person or entity shall have expressly agreed in writing to assume or
perform the covenants and obligations of the Grantor contained in this Deed of
Trust.

or restriction against the creation of any lien on or security interest in the
beneficial interest of such trust.
37
8.9 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
This Deed of Trust and all provisions hereof shall be binding upon and
enforceable against Grantor, its successors, assigns, legal representatives, and
all other persons or entities claiming under or through Grantor, and the word

representatives, including all other holders, from time to time, of the Note.
8.10 CONSTRUCTION.

8.11 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
In consideration of the security provided by Grantor to State Farm for
repayment of the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, the liens on and
security interests in the Premises granted pursuant to the Deed of Trust and the
absolute and unconditional assignment of the Rents and Leases made pursuant to
the Assignments of Rents and Leases, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, State Farm agrees that it
shall not, except as otherwise set forth in this Section, seek to enforce, nor
shall State Farm be entitled to enforce, any deficiency or monetary judgment
against Grantor, any Partner of Grantor, any Member of Grantor, or any
beneficiary of Grantor or any Guarantor (individually, an "EXCULPATED PARTY",
and collectively, the "EXCULPATED PARTIES"), personally, and shall not levy or
execute judgment upon any property of the Exculpated Parties, other than the
Premises; it being expressly agreed, acknowledged and understood, however, that
nothing contained herein shall in any manner or way release, affect or impair:
(A) The existence of the Indebtedness and Obligations
created in and evidenced by the Loan Documents.

created in and granted by the Loan Documents against the Premises.

individually referred to herein as a "LIABLE PARTY" and collectively, the
"LIABLE PARTIES") who shall be jointly and severally liable for all Losses (as
hereinafter defined) incurred by State Farm (whether directly or indirectly)
attributable to the acts or omissions of the applicable Liable Party arising
from or related to the following:
38
(I) Any Rents received by any of the Exculpated
Parties or Liable Parties from tenants of the Premises and not applied
to the Indebtedness or the operating expenses of the Premises in
accordance with the Loan Documents, either within one hundred eighty
(180) days prior to such Event of Default or any time after an Event of
Default;
(II) The misapplication or misappropriation of any
tenant security deposits, advance or prepaid rents, cancellation or
termination fees or other similar sums paid to or held by Grantor, any
affiliate of the Grantor or any other person or entity (other than State
Farm) in connection with the operation of the Premises in violation of
the Loan Documents or any leases affecting the Premises;
(III) Any amount(s) necessary to repair or replace any
damage to or destruction of the Premises which is caused by any willful
or wanton act or omission on the part of any of the Exculpated Parties
or Liable Parties including, without limitation, waste or any act of
arson or malicious destruction by any of the Exculpated Parties or
Liable Parties;
(IV) The failure to maintain insurance as required by
the Loan Documents or any leases affecting the Premises or the failure
to timely pay insurance premiums, real estate taxes, regular or special
assessments or utility charges affecting the Premises to the extent
funds (plus any distributions made to the Tenants-in-Common during the
time period of such failure) are, or were, available from the operation
of the Premises;
(V) Any payments, dividends or distributions made by
Grantor to any other Exculpated Party or other Liable Party in violation

(180) days prior to such Event of Default or any time after such Event
of Default;
(VI) Transfers of any interest in the Premises in
violation of SECTION 3.11 of this Deed of Trust;
(VII) Any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards
received by any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties and not

accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents;
(VIII) Any fraud or willful misrepresentation of a
material fact by any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties in any
document executed or presented to State Farm in connection with the
Loan; or
(IX) Any use, generation, storage, release,
threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence on, under, or about
the Premises of any materials, substances or wastes defined or
classified as hazardous or toxic under applicable Federal, State or
local laws or regulations or arising out of or from any failure on the
part of any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties to comply with
the provisions of the Environmental Indemnification Agreement.
39
As used herein, the term "LOSSES" means any and all claims, suits,
liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liabilities), actions,
proceedings, obligations, debts, damages (including, without limitation, offsets
and abatements of Rent), costs, fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses
(including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses and other costs of
defense and internal administrative fees assessed by State Farm), judgments,
awards, amounts paid in settlement of whatever kind or nature.
8.12 WAIVER OF MARSHALLING AND CERTAIN RIGHTS.
To the extent that Grantor may lawfully do so, Grantor hereby expressly
waives any right pertaining to the marshalling of assets or marshalling of
liens, the equity of redemption, any statutory or common law right of
redemption, homestead, dower, curtesy, marital share, and all other exemptions,
or other matter which might defeat, reduce or affect the right of State Farm to
sell the Premises or the Collateral for the collection of the Obligations, or
the right of State Farm to the payment of the Obligations out of the proceeds of
the Rents and Leases, in preference to every other person and claimant. Any
Grantor herein who has any right or possibility of dower, curtesy or homestead
in or to the Premises described herein, or any part of it, for the consideration
herein set forth, does hereby release and relinquish all of his or her right or
possibility of dower, curtesy and homestead in and to said Premises and all
parts thereof, and all other marital rights.
8.13 WAIVER OF IMPAIRMENT OF RECOURSE DEFENSES.
Without affecting the liability of Grantor or any other person (except
any person expressly released in writing) for the payment or performance of any
of the Obligations, and without affecting the rights of State Farm with respect
to any security not expressly released in writing, State Farm may, at any time,
and from time to time, either before or after the maturity of the Note, and
without notice or consent:
(A) Release any person liable for payment or performance of
all or any part of the Obligations;
(B) Make any agreement extending the time or otherwise
altering the terms of payment of all or any part of the Obligations (without
limit as to the number of such extensions or the period of periods thereof), or
modifying or waiving any obligation, or subordinating, modifying or otherwise
dealing with the lien or charge hereof;
(C) Exercise or refrain from exercising any right State Farm
might have;
(D) Accept additional security of any kind;
(E) Release or otherwise deal with any property, real or
personal, securing the Obligations, including all or any part of the Premises
herein described; or
(F) Elect, by instrument duly recorded in the Office of the
Clerk of the County or Counties where the Premises is located, to have and make
the lien hereof prior, paramount and
40
superior to, or, alternatively, junior, subordinate and inferior to, any lease
of all or any part of the Premises and whether or not such lease is dated,
executed or recorded before or after this Deed of Trust.
Furthermore, the failure of State Farm to perfect any lien granted
herein or in any other Loan Document, to take any action to obtain payment or
performance of the Obligations or to exercise any rights or remedies available
hereunder shall not relieve Grantor or any other person from liability for the
payment or performance of the Obligations nor effect a discharge of the lien,
security interest or assignment herein granted; it being intended that all
"impairment of recourse" and "impairment of collateral" defenses are hereby
waived.
8.14 NO WAIVER.
No waiver by State Farm shall be construed as a waiver of a subsequent
similar default or any other default by the Grantor. No delay by State Farm in
exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by law, shall
operate as a waiver thereof or preclude the exercise thereof during the
continuance of any default hereunder. No failure of State Farm to exercise any
option herein given to declare the maturity of the Obligations hereby secured,
nor forbearance by State Farm after the exercise of such option, and no
withdrawal or abandonment of foreclosure proceedings by State Farm after the
exercise of such option, shall be taken or construed as a waiver of its right to
exercise such option or to declare such maturity by reason of any past, present,
or future default on the part of the Grantor. Acceptance by State Farm of
partial payments shall not constitute a waiver of the default by failure to make
full payments.
8.15 EXPENSES.
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that State Farm shall impose certain
reasonable and customary administrative processing fees (the "SERVICING FEES")
in connection with (i) the extension, renewal, modification, amendment and
termination of the Loan Documents; (ii) the release or substitution of
collateral therefor; (iii) the consideration of any consents, waivers and
approvals with respect to the Premises or the Grantor; (iv) the review of any
Lease or proposed Lease or the preparation or review of any tenant estoppel
certificate or any subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement; or
(v) any other services provided by State Farm or any of its agents to or on
behalf of the Grantor in connection with the Premises, the Loan Documents or the
Indebtedness secured thereby (the occurrence of any of the foregoing shall
hereinafter be referred to as a "SERVICING ACTION"). Grantor hereby acknowledges
and agrees to pay, immediately, with or without demand, all such Servicing Fees
(as the same may be increased or decreased from time to time), and any
additional fees of a similar type or nature that may be imposed by State Farm
from time to time, in connection with a Servicing Action. Grantor shall also be
responsible for the payment of all fees and expenses of State Farm's outside
attorneys in the event that State Farm, in its sole discretion, shall determine
that the assistance of an outside attorney is necessary to accomplish the
Servicing Action.
41
8.16 SUBROGATION.
To the extent that proceeds of the Obligations are used to pay any
outstanding lien, charge or encumbrance affecting the Premises (including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any prior lien) State Farm
shall be subrogated to all rights, interests and liens owned or held by any
owner or holder of such outstanding liens, charges and encumbrances,
irrespective of whether such liens, charges or encumbrances are released of
record; provided, however, that the terms and provisions hereof shall govern the
rights and remedies of State Farm and, to the extent permitted by law without
impairing any of State Farm's rights of subrogation, shall supersede the terms,
provisions, rights, and remedies under the lien or liens to which State Farm is
subrogated hereunder.
8.17 GREATER ESTATE.
In the event that Grantor is the owner of a leasehold estate or any
other estate less than a fee simple with respect to any portion of the Premises
and/or Personal Property and, prior to the satisfaction of the Obligation and
the cancellation of this Deed of Trust of record, Grantor obtains a greater
estate or interest in such portion of the Premises and/or Collateral, then, such
greater estate or interest shall automatically and without further action of any
kind on the part of Grantor be and become subject to the lien of this Deed of
Trust.
8.18 DEFEASANCE.
If all of the Indebtedness is paid as the same becomes due and payable
and if all of the covenants, warranties, undertakings and agreements made in
this Deed of Trust are kept and performed, then and in that event only, all
rights under this Deed of Trust shall terminate and the Premises shall become
wholly clear of the liens, security interests, conveyances and assignments
evidenced hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents, which shall be released
by State Farm in due form at Grantor's cost.
8.19 MODIFICATIONS AND EXTENSIONS.
Grantor and State Farm may agree to extend the time for payment of all
or any part of the Obligations or reduce, rearrange or otherwise modify the
terms of payment thereof, or accept a renewal note or notes therefor, or
otherwise deal with the Premises or the Loan Documents, all without notice to or
the consent of any junior lienholder or any other person having an interest in
the Premises and/or Collateral subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust,
and without the consent of Grantor if Grantor has then parted with title to the
Premises and/or Collateral. No such extension, reduction, modification or
renewal or dealing shall affect the priority of this Deed of Trust, or release
any liability of Grantor or any other person or entity, or impair the security
hereof in any manner whatsoever.
8.20 NO ORAL CHANGE.
This Deed of Trust may only be modified, amended or changed by an
instrument in writing signed by the Grantor and State Farm, and may only be
released, discharged or satisfied of record by an instrument in writing signed
by State Farm. No waiver of any term, covenant, condition, or
42
provision of this Deed of Trust shall be effective unless given in writing by
State Farm and if so given by State Farm shall only be effective in the specific
instance in which given.
8.21 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.
GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM FILED
BY ANY PARTY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY TO THIS DEED OF TRUST OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE GRANTOR IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH OR CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.
8.22 FINAL AGREEMENT.
THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
