3. WARRANTY OF TITLE. Grantor warrants that Grantor has good,
marketable and insurable fee simple title to Land and the Improvements and has

harmless Beneficiary from and against all of the following (collectively, and

of Trust; and (iii) Grantor's violation or failure to comply with any Legal

in order to declare the Obligations immediately due and payable upon Grantor's
conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Trust
Property in violation of this Deed of Trust or any other Relevant Document.
This provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage,
encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Trust Property that is not permitted
pursuant to the Relevant Documents, regardless of whether voluntary or not, or
whether or not Beneficiary has consented to any previous sale, conveyance,
alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Trust Property.
7. AMENDMENT TO LEGAL DESCRIPTION. If it becomes evident that the
legal description attached to any Relevant Document is inaccurate or does not
fully describe all of the real property which is reasonably connected to the
Land, Grantor hereby agrees to an amendment of such legal description and the
legal description contained on the corresponding
-7-
title policy so that such error is corrected and to execute and cause to be
recorded, if applicable, such document as may be appropriate for such purpose.
8. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS. Grantor does hereby absolutely
and unconditionally assign to Beneficiary, Grantor's right, title and interest
in all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Grantor that
this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment
for additional security only. Such assignment to Beneficiary shall not be
construed to bind Beneficiary to the performance of any of the covenants,
conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any
obligation upon Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall have no responsibility on
account of this assignment for the control, care, maintenance, management or
repair of the Trust Property, for any dangerous or defective condition of the
Trust Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or
control of the Trust Property. Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to
Beneficiary such additional instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to
Beneficiary, as may hereafter be requested by Beneficiary to further evidence
and confirm such assignment. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this
paragraph, Beneficiary grants to Grantor a revocable license to collect all of
the Rents and retain, use and enjoy the same and otherwise exercise all rights
of Grantor under any Lease, in each case, subject to the terms hereof and of the
Relevant Documents. Upon an Event of Default (hereinafter defined), the license
granted to Grantor herein shall immediately and automatically be revoked, and
Beneficiary shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents, whether or
not Beneficiary enters upon or takes control of the Trust Property, provided
that if such Event of Default ceases to exist, the license shall automatically
be reinstated. In addition, during the continuation of an Event of Default,
Beneficiary may, either in person or by agent, without bringing any action or
proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, without the necessity of
taking possession of the Trust Property in its own name, and in addition to and
without limiting any of Beneficiary's rights and remedies hereunder, under the
Notes and any other Relevant Documents and as otherwise available at law or in
equity, (a) notify any lessee or other person that the Leases have been assigned
to Beneficiary and that all Rents are to be paid directly to Beneficiary,
whether or not Beneficiary has commenced or completed foreclosure or taken
possession of the Trust Property; (b) settle, compromise, release, extend the
time of payment of, and make allowances, adjustments and discounts of any Rents
or other obligations in, to and under the Leases; (c) demand, xxx for or
otherwise collect, receive, and enforce payment of Rents, including those
past-due and unpaid and other rights under the Leases, prosecute any action or
proceeding, and defend against any claim with respect to the Rents and Leases;
(d) enter upon, take possession of and operate the Trust Property; (e) lease all
or any part of the Trust Property; and/or (f) perform any and all obligations of
Grantor under the Leases and exercise any and all rights of Grantor therein
contained to the full extent of Grantor's rights and obligations thereunder,
with or without the bringing of any action or the appointment of a receiver and
without need for any other authorization or other action by Beneficiary or
Grantor. At Beneficiary's request, Grantor shall deliver a copy of this
assignment to each tenant under a Lease and to each manager and managing agent
or operator of the Trust Property. Grantor irrevocably directs any tenant,
manager, managing agent, or operator of the Property, without any requirement
for notice to or consent by Grantor, to comply with all demands of Beneficiary
under this Section 8 and to
-8-
turn over to Beneficiary on demand all Rents which it receives. Grantor hereby
acknowledges and agrees that payment of any Rents by a person to Beneficiary as
hereinabove provided shall constitute payment by such person, as fully and with
the same effect as if such Rents had been paid to Grantor. Beneficiary is
hereby granted and assigned by Grantor the right, at its option, upon revocation
of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Trust Property in person or by
agent, without bringing any action or proceeding, or by court-appointed receiver
to collect the Rents. Any Rents collected after the revocation of the license
shall be applied towards the payment of the Obligations. Neither the
enforcement of any of the remedies under this Section 8 nor any other remedies
or security interests afforded to Beneficiary under the Relevant Documents, at
law or in equity shall cause Beneficiary to be deemed or construed to be a
Beneficiary in possession of the Trust Property, to obligate Beneficiary to
lease the Trust Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any
expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever
under any of the Leases or otherwise. Grantor shall, and hereby agrees to
indemnify Beneficiary for, and to hold Beneficiary harmless from and against,
any and all claims, liability, expenses, losses or damages which may or might be
asserted against or incurred by Beneficiary solely by reason of Beneficiary's
status as an assignee pursuant to the assignment of Rents and Leases contained
herein, but excluding any claim (a) to the extent caused by Beneficiary's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) to the extent arising solely from
Beneficiary's actions after Beneficiary has taken possession of the Trust
Property. Should Beneficiary incur any such claim, liability, expense, loss or
damage, the amount thereof, including all actual expenses and reasonable fees of
attorneys, shall constitute Obligations secured hereby, and Grantor shall
reimburse Beneficiary therefor immediately upon demand. Grantor agrees that all
Leases shall be subject to the prior written approval of Beneficiary, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
9. MAINTENANCE OF TRUST PROPERTY. Grantor shall cause the Trust
Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair (subject to
ordinary wear and tear), and shall otherwise operate and maintain the Trust
Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which it operates and
maintains the other properties on which it operates similar businesses ("SIMILAR
PROPERTIES"). Except as otherwise permitted by the Relevant Documents, the
Improvements, the Fixtures and the equipment located on the Land or the
Improvements shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for
normal replacement of equipment) without the consent of Beneficiary which shall
not unreasonably be withheld or delayed. Grantor shall comply with all laws,
orders and ordinances affecting the Trust Property, or the use thereof. Except
to the extent that Beneficiary fails to turn over insurance proceeds, if any,
received by Beneficiary pursuant to Sections 10 and 11 with respect to the Trust
Property to Grantor, Grantor shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part
of the Trust Property that, following the date hereof, becomes damaged, worn or
dilapidated and Grantor shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in
the process of construction or repair on the Land. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, Grantor hereby confirms its obligation to comply
with all relevant Legal Requirements, including Environmental Laws, with respect
to the Trust Property. Grantor shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or
consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other
public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made
of the Trust Property or any part thereof,
-9-
unless Grantor shall have received Beneficiary's prior written consent, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If under applicable zoning
provisions the use of all or any portion of the Trust Property is or shall
become a nonconforming use, Grantor will not cause such nonconforming use to be
discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Beneficiary,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Grantor shall not (i)
change the use of the Land in any material respect or (ii) permit or suffer to
occur any waste on or to the Trust Property or to any portion thereof.
10. INSURANCE.
(a) Grantor shall maintain casualty, liability and other policies of
insurance relating to the Trust Property in form and substance, and with
insurers and coverages, reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary and consistent
with insurance that it maintains on Similar Properties. Grantor shall keep the
Trust Property insured against loss by flood if the Trust Property is located in
an area identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area
having a special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made
available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (or any successor act
thereto). All policies of insurance to be furnished hereunder (i) shall have
standard non-contributory mortgagee clauses attached to all policies in favor of
Beneficiary, without contribution, under a standard New York (or local
equivalent) mortgagee clause naming Beneficiary as the party to which all
payments made under such insurance policies in excess of $150,000 should be
paid, (ii) shall contain an endorsement providing that neither Grantor nor
Beneficiary nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said policies and
shall contain a provision requiring that the coverage evidenced thereby shall
not be terminated or materially modified without ten (10) days prior written
notice to Beneficiary, (iii) shall provide that no act or thing done by Grantor
shall invalidate the policy as against Beneficiary, and (iv) with respect to
property insurance policies, shall contain a waiver of subrogation against
Beneficiary. Grantor shall deliver certificates evidencing additional and
renewal policies, together with evidence of payment of premiums thereon, to
Beneficiary, and in the case of all insurance about to expire, shall deliver
renewal policies or certificates evidencing such policies not less than ten (10)
days prior to their respective dates of expiration.
(b) Grantor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form
or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained
hereunder unless Beneficiary is included thereon under a standard,
non-contributory mortgagee clause acceptable to Beneficiary. Grantor shall
promptly notify Beneficiary whenever any such separate insurance is taken out
and shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary the certificates evidencing the policy
or policies of such insurance.
(c) The insurance required by this Deed of Trust, at the option of
Grantor, may be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies covering the Trust
Property and other properties, provided, however, that in each case, such
insurance policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Deed of Trust
and allocate to the Trust Property, from time to time, the coverage specified in
this Deed of Trust without possibility of reduction or co-insurance by reason
of, or damage to, any other property named therein. If the insurance required
by this
-10-
Deed of Trust shall be effected by any such blanket or umbrella policies,
Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary certificates with respect to, with
schedules attached thereto showing the amount of the insurance provided under
such policies which is applicable to the Trust Property.
(d) If Grantor fails to maintain insurance in compliance with this
Section, Beneficiary may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor and
Grantor shall, on demand, reimburse Beneficiary for all expenses incurred in
connection therewith. Grantor shall deliver original certificates to Beneficiary
of all insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 10. Each property
insurance policy shall name Beneficiary as mortgagee, and loss payee with
respect to all casualty coverage and each liability policy shall name
Beneficiary as an additional insured thereunder.
11. CASUALTY. (a) Grantor shall give Beneficiary prompt notice of
any loss or damage to the Trust Property.
(b) In case of loss or damage to the Trust Property covered by any of
the insurance policies described in Section 10 above, Beneficiary (or, a
trustee's sale or sheriff's sale under this Deed of Trust, the purchaser at such
sale) is hereby authorized at its option either (i) to settle and adjust any
claim under such insurance policies without the consent of Grantor or (ii) to
allow Grantor to settle and adjust such claim (either jointly with Beneficiary
or by Grantor alone, at Beneficiary's discretion); provided that in either case
Beneficiary shall, and is hereby authorized to, collect and receipt for any such
insurance proceeds. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the
contrary, Beneficiary agrees that it will allow Grantor to settle and adjust any
claims under the insurance policies which are in an amount less than $150,000,
per incident of loss, up to an aggregate amount of no greater than $250,000.
The expenses incurred by Beneficiary in the adjustment and collection of
insurance proceeds shall be included in the Obligations, and shall be reimbursed
to Beneficiary upon demand or may be deducted by Beneficiary from said insurance
proceeds prior to another application thereof. Interest on such amount shall
accrue at the at the rate of thirteen and one-half percent (13.5%) per annum,
beginning ten (10) days after Grantor receives notice of a request for payment
of such amount from Beneficiary, until such amount, plus interest, is paid in
full.
(c) Beneficiary shall permit Grantor to apply the proceeds of
insurance policies received in connection with any casualty to pay for the cost
of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the loss or damage to the Trust
Property resulting from the casualty ("RESTORATION") if: (i) there is no Event
of Default hereunder at the time of such application; (ii) restoration can, in
the reasonable judgment of Beneficiary, be completed no later than two (2) years
prior to the maturity of the Obligations; and (iii) restoration can, in the
reasonable judgment of Beneficiary, be effected in such a manner so that the
Trust Property will be of at least equal or greater value to the value than the
Trust Property prior to such casualty. Otherwise, Beneficiary may elect in its
sole discretion to apply such proceeds either (x) towards payment of the
Obligations, notwithstanding the fact that the Obligations, or a portion
thereof, may not then be due and payable, or (y) to pay for the cost of
Restoration. In all events, disbursement of insurance proceeds by Beneficiary
(or at Beneficiary's election by a disbursing
-11-
or escrow agent who shall be selected by Beneficiary and whose fees shall be
paid by Grantor), to pay the cost of restoration shall require (i) evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary of the estimated costs of Restoration,
(ii) funds (or assurances reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary that such funds
are available) sufficient in addition to the proceeds of insurance to complete
and fully pay for Restoration; and (iii) such architect's certificates, waivers
of lien, contractor's sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, plats of
surveys and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Beneficiary
may reasonably require and approve. Except to the extent Beneficiary fails to
turn over insurance proceeds, if any, received by Beneficiary hereunder with
respect to such casualty to Grantor, Grantor hereby covenants to restore,
repair, replace or rebuild the Improvements, to be of at least equal value, and
of substantially the same character as prior to such loss or damage, all to be
effected in accordance with plans, specifications and procedures to be first
submitted to and reasonably approved by Beneficiary, and Grantor shall pay all
costs of such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding.
12. EMINENT DOMAIN. Grantor warrants, covenants and agrees that
should the Trust Property, or any part thereof or interest therein, be taken or
damaged by reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in
any other manner, or should Grantor receive any notice of other information
regarding such proceeding, Grantor shall give written notice thereof within five
(5) business days to Beneficiary. Without Beneficiary's prior consent, Grantor
(1) shall not agree to any compensation or award, and (2) shall not take any
action or fail to take any action which would cause the compensation to be
determined. Beneficiary shall be entitled to: (1) all compensation awards and
other payments or relief therefor, (2) to commence, appear in and prosecute in
its own name any action or proceedings, and (3) to make any compromise or
settlement in connection with such taking or damage. Grantor authorizes
Beneficiary to collect and receive such awards and compensation, to give proper
receipts and acquittances therefor and in Beneficiary's discretion to apply the
same toward the payment of the Obligations, notwithstanding the fact that the
Obligations, or a portion thereof, may not then be due and payable, or to the
restoration of the Trust Property in accordance with the provisions set forth in
the penultimate sentence of Section 11(c) above. Grantor further agrees to make,
execute, and deliver to Beneficiary, at any time upon request, free and clear of
any encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, any and all further assignments and
other instruments deemed necessary by Beneficiary for the purpose of validly and
sufficiently assigning all compensations and awards made to Grantor for any
taking, either permanent or temporary, under any such proceeding.
13. RELEASE OF DEED OF TRUST. Beneficiary agrees to promptly and
unconditionally release this Deed of Trust as follows:
a. in the event of a bona fide sale (other than a "sale leaseback"
or other similar financing transaction) of the Trust Property to a third party
that is not affiliated with Grantor, provided that the following conditions are
satisfied: (i) neither Grantor nor any of its respective affiliates continue to
use or occupy the Trust Property or any part thereof; (ii) Grantor shall consult
with Beneficiary prior to such sale and shall obtain Beneficiary's prior written
consent with respect to such sale and the sales price (such consent not to be
unreasonably
-12-
withheld); and (iii) all of the proceeds of such sale are applied towards
repayment of the Obligations, notwithstanding the fact that the Obligations, or
a portion thereof, may not then be due and payable.
b. in the event that Beneficiary is paid in full for all amounts
owing to Beneficiary by Grantor and any of its former affiliated debtors,
including the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, and no amount is
then owing by one or more of the foregoing to Beneficiary pursuant to the
Indenture, the Notes or any other Relevant Documents.
14. CHANGES IN THE LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is enacted or
adopted or amended after the date of this Deed of Trust which imposes a tax,
either directly or indirectly, on the Obligations or Beneficiary's interest in
the Trust Property, Grantor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties
thereon, if any, provided, however, that Grantor shall not be obligated to pay
any tax which is imposed on the net income of Beneficiary or franchise taxes or
doing business taxes imposed on Beneficiary. In the event that the payment of
such tax or interest and penalties by Grantor would be unlawful or taxable to
Beneficiary or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then
in any such event, Beneficiary shall have the option, by written notice of not
less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Obligations immediately due and
payable.
15. NO CREDITS ON ACCOUNT OF THE OBLIGATIONS. (i) Grantor will not
claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the
Obligations for any part of the Impositions assessed against the Trust Property,
or any part thereof, and (ii) no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed
from the assessed value of the Trust Property, or any part hereof, for real
estate tax purposes by reason of this Deed of Trust or the Obligations if the
effect of such deduction would impose on Beneficiary a tax, either directly or
indirectly, for which it otherwise would not have been liable.
16. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. If at any time the United States of America,
any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or
other stamps to be affixed to the Notes or this Deed of Trust, or impose any
other tax or charge on the same, Grantor will pay for the same, with interest
and penalties thereon, if any.
17. CONTROLLING AGREEMENT. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to
be the intent of Grantor and Beneficiary at all times to comply with applicable
state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits
Beneficiary to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount
of interest than under state law) and that this Section shall control every
other covenant and agreement in this Deed of Trust and the other Relevant
Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially
interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Notes or
under any of the other Relevant Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken,
reserved, or received with respect to the Obligations, or if Beneficiary's
exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, or if any
prepayment by Grantor results in Grantor having paid any interest in excess of
that permitted by applicable law, then it is Grantor's and Beneficiary's express
intent that all excess amounts theretofore
-13-
collected by Beneficiary shall be credited on the principal balance of the Notes
and all other Obligations (or, if the Notes and all other Obligations have been
or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Grantor), and the provisions of
the Notes and the other Relevant Documents immediately be deemed reformed and
the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the
necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the
applicable law, 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 to
Beneficiary for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations shall, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and
spread throughout the full stated term of the Obligations until payment in full
so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Obligations does not
exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted by law from time to time in effect
and applicable to the Obligations for so long as the Obligations are
outstanding.
18. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Grantor shall observe and
perform in all respects the terms to be observed or performed by Grantor under
any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Trust
Property.
19. RIGHT TO PERFORM THE OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the terms of the
Relevant Documents, if any default exists, Beneficiary shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to cure such default in the name and on behalf of Grantor.
All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Beneficiary under this
Section 19, or otherwise under this Deed of Trust or any of the other Relevant
Documents or applicable law (including, without limitation, the costs and
expenses of Beneficiary and its agents incurred in connection with the
preservation, collection and enforcement of this Deed of Trust or of the liens
created hereby), shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or
expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the
rate of thirteen and one-half percent (13.5%) per annum, and all such sums,
together with interest thereon, shall constitute additions to the Obligations
and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and Grantor covenants and agrees to
pay them to the order of the Beneficiary promptly upon demand.
20. FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Grantor will, at the cost of Grantor, and
without expense to Beneficiary, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and
every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, deeds of trust,
assignments, notices of assignment, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements
or continuation statements, transfers and assurances as Beneficiary shall, from
time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning,
transferring, and confirming unto Beneficiary the property and rights hereby
mortgaged, given, granted, bargained, sold, alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed,
confirmed, warranted, pledged, assigned and hypothecated (including, without
limitation, the assignment of leases and rents contained in Section 8 hereof) or
intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Grantor may be or may hereafter
become bound to convey or assign to Beneficiary, or for carrying out the
intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Deed of Trust or
for filing, registering or recording this Deed of Trust. Grantor, on demand,
will execute and deliver and, Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to execute
in the name of Grantor or without the signature of Grantor to the extent
Beneficiary may lawfully do so, one or more financing
-14-
statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments, to evidence more effectively
the security interest of Beneficiary in the Trust Property. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Grantor shall not be obligated to
execute, deliver, file or record any additional documents which increase
Grantor's obligations under this Deed of Trust or the Relevant Documents.
Grantor grants to Beneficiary an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an
interest for the purpose of exercising the rights provided for in Section 19 and
this Section 20.
21. RECORDING OF DEED OF TRUST, ETC. Grantor forthwith upon the
execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and thereafter, from time to time,
will cause this Deed of Trust, and any security instrument creating a lien or
security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Trust Property and each
instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such
manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in
order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien or security interest
hereof upon, and the interest of Beneficiary in, the Trust Property. Grantor
will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, the costs and fees of local
counsel for Beneficiary including, without limitation, costs and fees for local
counsel review of this Deed of Trust and the Subordination Agreement
(hereinafter defined) and the preparation of opinion letters in connection
therewith, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and
acknowledgment of this Deed of Trust, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental
hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Trust Property and any
instrument of further assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal,
taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection
with the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust, any deed of trust or
mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Trust
Property or any instrument of further assurance (other than income or franchise
taxes imposed on Beneficiary), except where prohibited by law so to do. Grantor
shall hold harmless and indemnify Beneficiary, its successors and assigns,
against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition of any tax on the
making and recording of this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall pay all title costs
and premiums in connection with the Mortgagee's Policy of Title Insurance Policy
issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company for the benefit of Beneficiary in
connection with this Deed of Trust (including payment for the cost of any
property surveys ("SURVEYS") prepared in connection therewith), which title
insurance policy shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary
containing such endorsements as Beneficiary may reasonably request, including,
without limitation, the deletion of any creditor's rights exception and (to the
extent available) a variable rate endorsement; survey endorsement; comprehensive
endorsement; first loss endorsement; last dollar endorsement; tie-in
endorsement; future advances endorsement; access coverage; tax parcel coverage;
contiguity (if applicable) coverage; and such other endorsements as Beneficiary
shall reasonably require. In the event that any Survey with respect to the
Trust Property reveals any encumbrances, restrictions, building code or zoning
violations or other matters which in Beneficiary's reasonable judgment
materially impair Beneficiary's security interest in the Trust Property, Grantor
agrees to cooperate with Beneficiary in performing any acts reasonably requested
by Beneficiary to cause such encumbrances, restrictions, violations or other
matters to be removed or remedied as appropriate.
-15-
22. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Grantor agrees to give prompt notice to
Beneficiary of the insolvency or bankruptcy filing of Grantor. In addition,
Grantor will give notice to Beneficiary in writing not later than ten (10) days
after: (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Grantor
hereunder, or (ii) notice to Grantor of any action, litigation or proceeding
instituted to recover possession of the Trust Property from Grantor or for any
other purpose affecting this Deed of Trust or of any other action, litigation or
proceeding instituted against Grantor or judgment rendered against Grantor; and
such notice to Beneficiary shall include a true copy of any notice of default,
or if any action is then proceeding, copies of any pleadings and papers received
by Grantor.
23. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The term "EVENT OF DEFAULT" as used herein
shall mean the occurrence or happening, at any time and from time to time, of
one or more of the following events:
(a) a default or event of default under any of the Notes or any of
the other Relevant Documents, which remains uncured following the expiration of
any applicable cure periods;
(b) Grantor (i) shall fail to perform when due any payment obligation
under the terms of this Deed of Trust within ten days after such amount becomes
due, or (ii) shall be in violation of any of the obligations or covenants
contained herein and such default shall continued unremedied for a period of
thirty (30) days, provided that if such default is not readily susceptible of
cure in such thirty (30) day period, and provided that Grantor proceeds in a
diligent manner to cure such default, Grantor shall have such additional time to
effect such cure as shall be reasonably necessary to effect such cure;
(c) Failure by Grantor to maintain insurance and deliver evidence
thereof pursuant to Section 10;
(d) a default under any other mortgage, deed of trust or other
security instrument covering the Trust Property or a portion thereof which

(e) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture.
24. REMEDIES. (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Beneficiary may take such action or cause Trustee to take such action permitted
in law or at equity, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect
and enforce its rights against Grantor and in and to the Trust Property, by
Beneficiary itself, or through Trustee or otherwise, including, but not limited
to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, in its
sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and

profits and other income of the Trust Property and every part thereof); and
(E) apply the receipts from the Trust Property to the payment of the
Obligations, after deducting therefrom all reasonable expenses (including,

demand;
(ix) require Grantor to pay monthly in advance to Beneficiary, or any

(xi) pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available under the
Relevant Documents or otherwise at law or in equity or under the Uniform
Commercial Code including the right to establish a lock box for all Rents
and other receivables of Grantor relating to the Trust Property.
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the
Trust Property, this Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien on the remaining
portions of the Trust Property.
The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 24,
together with any other sums which then may be held by Beneficiary under this
Deed of Trust, whether under the provisions of this Section or otherwise, shall
be applied by Beneficiary in the following order of priority: first, on account
of all reasonable costs and expenses incident to the foreclosure proceedings,
including all such items as are mentioned in this Section 24; second, all other
items which under the terms hereof constitute secured indebtedness, which are
any amounts due under this Deed of Trust, or under the other Relevant Documents;
third, any surplus to Grantor, its successors or assigns, as their rights may
appear.
(b) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 24, whether
made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial
proceedings or of a
-18-
judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Beneficiary may bid for and acquire
the Trust Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may
make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Obligations the net
sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and costs of the
action and any other sums which Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under this
Deed of Trust.
(c) No recovery of any judgment by Beneficiary and no levy of an
execution under any judgment upon the Trust Property or upon any other property
of Grantor shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Deed of
Trust upon the Trust Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers
or remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and
remedies of Beneficiary shall continue unimpaired as before.
(d) Beneficiary may adjourn, terminate or rescind any proceeding or
other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in
this Section 24 at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in
Beneficiary's sole discretion and without prejudice to Beneficiary.
(e) Beneficiary may resort to any remedies and the security given by
this Deed of Trust or the other Relevant Documents in whole or in part, and in
such portions and in such order as determined by Beneficiary's sole discretion.
No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any rights, benefits
or remedies evidenced or provided by this Deed of Trust or the other Relevant
Documents. The failure of Beneficiary to exercise any right, remedy or option
provided in this Deed of Trust or the other Relevant Documents shall not be
deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation
secured by this Deed of Trust or the other Relevant Documents. Subject to the
provisions of the Relevant Documents, no acceptance by Beneficiary of any
payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by
Beneficiary of any obligation for which Grantor is liable hereunder shall be
deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default with respect to Grantor, or
Grantor's liability to pay such obligation. No sale of all or any portion of
the Trust Property, no forbearance on the part of Beneficiary and no extension
of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Obligations or any
other indulgence given by Beneficiary to Grantor, shall operate to release or in
any manner affect the interest of Beneficiary in the remaining Trust Property or
the liability of Grantor to pay the Obligations. No waiver by Beneficiary shall
be effective, unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically
stated.
(f) The interests and rights of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust
and the other Relevant Documents, and the liens and security interests created
and evidenced by this Deed of Trust and the other Relevant Documents, shall not
be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or
modification which Beneficiary may grant with respect to any of the Obligations,
(ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or
substitution which Beneficiary may grant with respect to the Trust Property or
any portion thereof; or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any maker,
endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Obligations.
-19-
(g) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 23, in
any suit to foreclose the lien hereof or enforce any other remedy of Beneficiary
under this Deed of Trust, there shall be allowed and included as additional
indebtedness in the decree for sale or other judgment or decree all reasonable
expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of
Beneficiary for attorneys' fees, appraiser's fees, outlays for documentary and
expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs, and costs (which may
be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of the decree) of procuring
all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance
policies, Torrens certificates, and similar data and assurances with respect to
title as Beneficiary may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit
or to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree
the true condition of the title to or the value of the Trust Property. All such
reasonable expenditures and expenses which Beneficiary may incur as permitted by
this Section for the protection of the Trust Property and the maintenance of the
lien of this Deed of Trust, including, but not limited to, the fees and
out-of-pocket disbursements of any attorney employed by Beneficiary in any
litigation or proceeding affecting this Deed of Trust, including, but not
limited to, bankruptcy proceedings or preparations for the commencement or
defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be immediately
due and payable by Grantor and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
25. RIGHT OF ACCESS. Grantor shall permit agents, representatives
and employees of Beneficiary to (i) inspect the Trust Property or any part
thereof, provided that such inspection does not materially interfere with the
tenants of the Trust Property or violate the terms of any Lease, (ii) to examine
and make abstracts from any of Grantor's books and records and (iii) to discuss
the business, operations, properties and financial and other condition of
Grantor with officers of Grantor and with its independent certified public
accountants, at such reasonable times as may be requested by Beneficiary upon
reasonable advance notice.
26. SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Deed of Trust is both a real property
deed of trust and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code. The Trust Property includes both real and personal property
and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of
Grantor in the Trust Property. Grantor by executing and delivering this Deed of
Trust has granted and hereby grants to Beneficiary, as security for the
Obligations, a security interest in the Trust Property to the full extent that
the Trust Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion
of the Trust Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called in
this paragraph the "COLLATERAL"). Grantor hereby agrees with Beneficiary to
execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form and substance satisfactory to
Beneficiary, such financing statements and such further assurances as
Beneficiary may from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create,
perfect, and preserve Beneficiary's security interest herein granted. All or
part of the Trust Property is or is to become "fixtures" as defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code, and this Deed of Trust, upon being filed for record in
the real estate records of the city or county wherein such fixtures are
situated, shall also constitute a "fixture filing" for the purposes of the
Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Trust Property that is or may become
fixtures. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be
obtained from the parties at the addresses of the
-20-
parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust. Grantor's chief
executive office and principal place of business is the Grantor's address set
forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust, and the place where
Grantor's books and records in respect of where the Trust Property is located
are kept is the address of Grantor set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed
of Trust. If an Event of Default shall occur which shall remain uncured,
Beneficiary, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have,
shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights
and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform
Commercial Code, (including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by law,
the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take
such other measures as Beneficiary may deem necessary for the care, protection
and preservation of the Collateral). Upon request or demand of Beneficiary or
Trustee, Grantor shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it
available to Beneficiary at a convenient place acceptable to Beneficiary.
Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary on demand therefor any and all reasonable
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal expenses and
attorneys' fees) incurred or paid by Beneficiary in protecting the interest in
the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the
Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by
Beneficiary with respect to the Collateral sent to Grantor at least ten (10)
business days prior to such action or such notice as is otherwise required by
law or the Relevant Documents, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice
to Grantor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, may be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the Obligations in such
priority and proportions as Beneficiary shall determine in its sole discretion.
In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of Grantor, Grantor
shall notify Beneficiary thereof and, promptly after request, shall execute,
file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms as are necessary to maintain
the priority of Beneficiary's lien upon and security interest in the Collateral,
and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording
thereof. If Beneficiary shall require the filing or recording of additional
Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements, Grantor shall,
promptly after request, execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code
forms or continuation statements as Beneficiary shall deem necessary, and shall
pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof,
it being understood and agreed, however, that no such additional documents shall
materially increase Grantor's obligations under this Deed of Trust or the other
Relevant Documents. Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the appropriate public
office on its behalf any UCC financing statements (or related documents) signed
only by Beneficiary, as secured party, in connection with the Collateral covered
by this Deed of Trust, such appointment to terminate upon the release of this
Deed of Trust.
27. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Beneficiary has the right to appear in
and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Trust Property
and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Grantor,
which Beneficiary, in its reasonable discretion, decides should be brought to
protect its interest under this Deed of Trust or in the Trust Property. Subject
to the foregoing, Grantor shall appear in and contest any action or proceeding
purporting to affect the security hereof and shall pay all reasonable costs and
expenses including cost of evidence of title and attorney's fees, in any such
action or proceeding
-21-
in which Beneficiary may appear. Beneficiary shall, at its option, be
subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other security instrument discharged
in whole or in part by the Obligations, and any such subrogation rights shall
constitute additional security for the payment of the Obligations.
28. WAIVER OF SETOFF AND COUNTERCLAIM. Except as may be permitted
under the Relevant Documents, all amounts due under this Deed of Trust, the
Notes and the other Relevant Documents shall be payable without setoff or
counterclaim whatsoever.
29. LIENS. Grantor warrants, covenants and agrees to pay and
promptly discharge, at Grantor's cost and expense, all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges levied upon it, its income and assets as and when such
taxes, assessments and charges are due and payable (including, without
limitation, all Impositions), as well as all lawful claims for labor materials
and supplies or otherwise which could become a lien, and all liens, encumbrances
and charges upon the Trust Property, or any part thereof or interest therein;
provided that the existence of any mechanic's, laborer's, materialman's,
supplier's or vendor's lien or right thereto shall not constitute a violation of
this Section if payment is not yet due under the contract which is the
foundation thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor shall not be in
default for failure to pay or discharge Impositions or mechanic's or
materialman's or similar lien asserted against the Trust Property if, and so
long as, (a) Grantor shall have notified Beneficiary of same within seven (7)
days of obtaining knowledge thereof; (b) Grantor shall diligently and in good
faith contest the same by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to
prevent the enforcement or collection of the same and the sale of the Trust
Property or any part thereof, to satisfy the same; (c) unless funds are
otherwise reserved, Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary such security as
Beneficiary may reasonably request to insure payment of such Impositions and to
secure and indemnify Beneficiary against any cost, expense, loss or damage in
connection with such contest or postponement of payment; (d) Grantor shall
timely upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Impositions,
claim, fine or penalty so determined, together with all costs, interest and
penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (e) the failure to pay
the Impositions, or mechanic's or materialman's or similar lien claim does not
constitute a default under any other deed of trust, mortgage or security
interest covering or affecting any part of the Trust Property; and (f)
notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor shall immediately upon request of
Beneficiary pay (and if Grantor shall fail so to do, Beneficiary may, but shall
not be required to, pay or cause to be discharged or bonded against) any such
Impositions, or claim notwithstanding such contest, if in the reasonable opinion
of Beneficiary, the Trust Property or any part thereof or interest therein may
be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, foreclosed, terminated, canceled
or lost.
30. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Beneficiary shall have the
right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Obligations as the same become due and owing, without
regard to whether or not the balance of the Obligations shall be due, and
without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to bring an action of
foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Grantor existing
at the time such earlier action was commenced.
-22-
31. MARSHALLING, WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND OTHER MATTERS. Grantor
hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement,
valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement, moratorium and redemption laws now or
hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale
hereunder of the Trust Property or any part thereof or any interest therein.
Further, Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from
sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust on behalf of
Grantor, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or
title to the Trust Property subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust and on
behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable law.

-23-
34. NON-WAIVER. The failure of Beneficiary to insist upon strict
performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of
this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall not be relieved of Grantor's Obligations
hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Beneficiary to comply with any request
of Grantor to take any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise
enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the other Relevant Documents, (b) the
release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Trust
Property, or of any person liable for the Obligations or any portion thereof, or
(c) any agreement or stipulation by Beneficiary extending the time of payment or
otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of this Deed of Trust or the
other Relevant Documents. Beneficiary may resort for the payment of the
Obligations to any other security held by Beneficiary in such order and manner
as Beneficiary, in its discretion, may elect. Beneficiary may take action to
recover the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant
hereof without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to foreclosure
this Deed of Trust. The rights and remedies of Beneficiary under this Deed of
Trust shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect
to the exclusion of the others. No act of Beneficiary shall be construed as an
election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other
provision. Beneficiary shall not 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.

modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or

THE DOING OF ANY ACT WHICH TRUSTEE IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED TO DO BY THE TERMS
HEREOF OR BY LAW (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ARISING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF TRUSTEE), AND SHALL BE REIMBURSED THEREFOR UPON DEMAND.

EXHIBIT B
STATE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
The following provisions are incorporated by reference into Section 48
of the attached Deed of Trust. If any conflict or inconsistency exists between
this Exhibit B and the remainder of the attached Deed of Trust, this Exhibit B
shall govern.
A. FORECLOSURE PROCEEDINGS. The provisions of Section 24
notwithstanding, foreclosure proceedings shall include without limitation
non-judicial foreclosure pursuant to a power of sale in accordance with statutes
of the State of Texas then in force governing sales of real estate under powers
of sale conferred by deed of trust. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, Grantor
authorizes and empowers the Trustee, at the request of Beneficiary (which
request is hereby conclusively presumed), to enforce this Deed of Trust by
selling, in one or more sales as Beneficiary or Trustee may elect, the Trust
Property then subject to the lien hereof at public auction, to the highest
bidder, for cash or for credit against the indebtedness secured hereby if
Beneficiary is the highest bidder, at the county court house in the county in
Texas in which such Trust Property or any part thereof is situated, as herein
described, in the area designated by the commissioners court for such purpose
pursuant to a recordation of such designation in the real property records of
such county, or if no such recorded designation by the commissioners court has
been made, in the area at the county court house designated in the notice of
proposed sale posted, filed and served in accordance with the further provisions
of this paragraph, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on the first
Tuesday of any month. The Trustee shall give notice of the time, place and
terms of said sale, and of the property to be sold as follows: (i) Notice of
such proposed sale shall be given by posting written notice thereof at least
twenty-one days preceding the date of the sale at the court house door, 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, and if the property to be sold is situated in more
than one county, one notice shall be posted at the court house door and filed
with the county clerk of each county in which the property to be sold is
situated. In addition, Beneficiary shall, at least twenty-one days preceding
the date of sale, serve written notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on
each debtor obligated to pay the debt secured hereby according to the records of
Beneficiary. Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the
notice, enclosed in a postpaid wrapper, properly addressed to each such debtor
at the most recent address as shown by the records of Beneficiary, in a post
office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States
Postal Service. The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to
the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the
fact of service; (ii) Any notice that is required or permitted to be given to
Grantor may be addressed to Grantor at Grantor's mailing address. Any notice
that is to be given by certified mail to any other debtor may, if no address for
such other debtor is shown by the records of Beneficiary, be addressed to such
other debtor at Grantor's mailing

notice of such sale given in accordance with the requirements of the applicable
law of the State of Texas in effect at the time of such sale shall constitute
sufficient notice of such sale. Grantor hereby authorizes and empowers the
Trustee to sell all or any portion of the Trust Property, together or in lots or
parcels, as the Trustee may deem expedient, and to execute and deliver to the
purchaser or purchasers of such property, good and sufficient deeds of
conveyance of fee simple title with covenants of general warranty made on behalf
of the Grantor. The recitals in the conveyance to the purchaser or purchasers
of the Trust Property shall be full and conclusive evidence of the truth of the
matters therein stated, and all prerequisites to such sale shall be presumed to
have been performed and such sale and conveyance shall be conclusive against
Grantor, its heirs, successors and assigns. In no event shall the Trustee be
required to exhibit, present or display at any such sale, any of the personalty
described herein to be sold at such sale. The Trustee making such sale shall
receive the proceeds thereof and shall apply the same as follows: (1) first, he
shall pay the reasonable expense of executing this deed of trust including a
reasonable Trustee's fee or commission; (2) second, he shall pay so far as may
be possible, the Obligations, discharging first that portion of the Obligations
arising under the covenants or agreements herein contained and not evidenced by
the Note; (3) third, he shall pay the residue, if any, to the person or persons
legally entitled thereto.
Payment of the purchase price to Trustee shall satisfy the
obligation of the purchaser at such sale therefor, and such purchaser shall not
be responsible for the application thereof. Said sale shall forever be a bar
against Grantor, its successors and assigns, and all other persons claiming
under it. In addition to and cumulative of the remedies provided in this
clause, the Beneficiary may foreclose or cause to be foreclosed the lien and
security interest of this instrument, in whole or in part, through judicial
foreclosure, private sale, or in any other manner as may at any time be
authorized under the laws of the State of Texas. Beneficiary shall have the
right to bid for the Trust Property and to become the purchaser at any sale made
pursuant to this clause, if it is the highest bidder therefor and in lieu of
paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting
against the Obligations the amount of the bid made, after deducting therefrom
the expenses of the sale, the cost of any enforcement proceeding hereunder and
any other sums which Trustee or Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under the
terms hereof, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid. If foreclosure
should be commenced by the Trustee, the Beneficiary may at any time before the
sale direct the Trustee to abandon the sale, and may at any time or times
thereafter direct the Trustee to again commence foreclosure; or, irrespective of
whether foreclosure is commenced by the Trustee, the Beneficiary may at any time
after an Event of Default institute suit for foreclosure of the lien of this
instrument. If Beneficiary should institute suit for foreclosure of the lien of
this instrument, Beneficiary may at any time before the entry of final judgment
dismiss the same, and require the Trustee to sell all or part of the Trust
Property in accordance with the provisions of this instrument. No single sale
or series of sales by the Trustee or by any substitute or successor Trustee
under this instrument and no judicial foreclosure shall extinguish the lien or
exhaust the power of sale under this
B-2
instrument except with respect to the items of property sold, but such lien and
power shall exist for so long as, and may be exercised in any manner provided by
law or as provided in this instrument as often as the circumstances require to
give Beneficiary full relief hereunder. Grantor agrees for itself and its
trustees, receivers, successors and assigns that if any of them shall hold
possession of the Trust Property or any part thereof subsequent to foreclosure
of the lien hereof, Grantor, or the parties so holding possession, shall become
and be considered as tenants at will of the purchaser or purchasers at such
foreclosure sale or sales; and any such tenant failing or refusing to surrender
possession upon demand shall be guilty of forcible detainer and shall be liable
to such purchaser or purchasers for rental on said premises, and shall be
subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process
of law, all damages which may be sustained by any such tenant as a result
thereof being hereby expressly waived.
The sale or sales by Trustee of less than the whole of the Trust
Property 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 Trust Property shall be sold; and if the proceeds of such sale
or sales of less than the whole of the Trust Property shall be less than the
aggregate of the Obligations, this Deed of Trust and the lien, security interest
and assignment hereof shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold
portion of the Trust Property just as though no sale or sales had been made;
provided, however, that Grantor shall never have any right to require the sale
or sales of less than the whole of the Trust Property, but Beneficiary shall
have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than the
whole of the Trust Property. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing hereunder, Beneficiary shall have the option to proceed with
foreclosure in satisfaction of such item either through judicial proceedings or
by directing Trustee to proceed as if under a full foreclosure, conducting the
sale as herein provided without declaring the entire Obligations due, and if
sale is made because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on an
installment, or a part of any installment, such sale may be made subject to the
unmatured part of the Obligations; and it is agreed that such sale, if so made,
shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the Obligations, but as to
such unmatured part, this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect as
though no sale had been made under the provisions of this paragraph. Several
sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any
unmatured part of the Obligations. At any such sale (I) Grantor hereby agrees,
on its behalf and on behalf of its heirs, executors, administrators, successors,
personal representatives and assigns, that any and all recitals made in any
assignment of lease or deed of conveyance given by Trustee with respect to the
identity of Beneficiary, the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default,
the acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations, the request to sell,
the notice of sale, the giving of notice to all debtors legally entitled
thereto, the time, place, terms, and manner of sale, and receipt, distribution
and application of the money realized therefrom, or the due and proper
appointment of a substitute Trustee, and, without being limited by the
foregoing, with respect to any other act or thing having been duly done by
Beneficiary or by Trustee hereunder, shall be taken by all courts of law and
equity as prima facie evidence that the statements or
B-3
recitals are the state of facts and are without further question to be so
accepted, and Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms every act that Trustee or any
substitute Trustee hereunder may lawfully do in the Trust Property by virtue
hereof; and (II) the purchaser may disaffirm any easement granted, or rental,
lease or other contract made, in violation of any provision of this Deed of
Trust and may take immediate possession of the Trust Property free from, and
despite the terms of, such grant of easement and rental or lease contract.
B. FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. Section 35 of this Deed of Trust is
hereby amended by adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:
To the extent that Beneficiary is a "financial institution" as
defined in Section 26.02 of the Texas Business & Commerce Code, the following
shall apply:
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.
C. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF SURETIES. Grantor waives any right or
remedy which Grantor may have or be able to assert pursuant to Chapter 34 of the
Business and Commerce Code of the State of Texas pertaining to the rights and
remedies of sureties.
