COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE GRANTOR
COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE GRANTOR
The Grantor covenants and agrees as follows:
1.1 Repayment. The Grantor shall pay punctually all of the Obligations, together with
interest thereon and any penalty, fee, charge, deposit, escrow or assessment, at the times and in
the manner and amounts set forth in the Guaranty and any amendment, substitution, extension or
renewal thereof, this Deed of Trust, or as set forth in any other agreement or writing between the
Beneficiary and the Grantor relating or pertaining to any of the Obligations.
1.2 Performance. The Grantor shall perform fully all duties, obligations, and
requirements and comply in all respects with the Obligations, including without limitation each of
the terms, covenants, conditions, representations and warranties of this Deed of Trust and the
Guaranty.
1.3 Taxes and Expenses. The Grantor shall pay and discharge, when and as the same
come due, all taxes of every kind and nature, real and personal; all general and special
assessments and levies; all water, sewer and other utility charges, rents and assessments; and any
and all other public charges, dues, levies, impositions, or assessments of a like or different
nature, imposed upon or assessed against the Secured Property or the rents, issues, income or
profits thereof, and which are or may become liens against the same, as well as any ground rent to
which the Real Property may be subject, and the Grantor will not permit to exist any lien or
security interest which may be a lien or security interest superior to the lien and security
interest of this Deed of Trust other than (a) liens for taxes, assessments, levies, fees, rents,
ground rents and public charges not yet delinquent, and (b) liens and security interests to which
the Beneficiary has specifically and in writing consented and with respect to which the Grantor has
paid currently all sums secured thereby. The Grantor will, upon the request of the Trustee or the
Beneficiary, deliver to the Trustee or the Beneficiary receipts evidencing the payment of all such
taxes, assessments, levies, fees, rents, ground rents and public charges imposed upon or assessed
against the Secured Property, or the revenues, rents, issues, income or profits thereof, as well as

1.4 Insurance. The Grantor shall obtain and shall at all times during the term hereof
maintain the following insurance coverages:
1.4.1 Casualty Insurance. The Grantor will keep the Secured Property insured against
loss by fire, casualty and other such hazards and contingencies as may be specified by the Trustee
or the Beneficiary for the benefit of the Beneficiary. Such insurance shall be written in forms,
amounts and by companies satisfactory to the Trustee or the Beneficiary, but in any event shall be
in an amount sufficient to prevent co-insurance liability, and the losses thereunder shall be
payable to the Beneficiary alone, and not to the Grantor and the Beneficiary or the Trustee,
jointly. The Beneficiary shall be named as mortgagee on the policies and such policies shall state
that the Beneficiary will be provided at least thirty (30) days’ written notice before
cancellation, lapse or modification. The policy or policies of such casualty insurance shall be
delivered to and retained by the Beneficiary, and the Grantor shall provide the Beneficiary with
receipts evidencing the payment of all premiums due on such policies. The Grantor shall give the
Beneficiary prompt notice of any loss covered by such casualty insurance, and the Trustee and the
Beneficiary shall have the right to join the Grantor in adjusting any loss covered by an insurance
policy. All monies received as payment for a loss covered by an insurance policy shall be paid
over to the Beneficiary to be applied, at the option of the Beneficiary, either to the prepayment
of the Obligations or to the payment of other charges or expenses actually incurred by the Grantor
in the restoration, reconstruction, repair, renovation or replacement of the Secured Property. The
Grantor may not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss
with that required to be maintained above unless the Beneficiary is included thereon as a mortgagee
with losses payable to the Beneficiary as above provided. The Grantor shall immediately notify the
Beneficiary whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to the
Beneficiary the policy or policies of such insurance.
1.4.2 Liability Insurance. The Grantor shall obtain and maintain public liability and
property damage insurance in such amounts, with such insurance companies and upon policy forms
acceptable to and approved by the Beneficiary, but, in any event, in an amount of not less than One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) in the
aggregate. The Grantor shall supply the Beneficiary with copies of such liability insurance policy
and receipts evidencing the payment of premiums due thereon or, alternatively, certificates from
the insurance company certifying to the existence of the policy, summarizing the terms of the
policy and indicating the payment of premiums due thereon. The Beneficiary shall be named as an
additional insured on the policy and such policy shall state that the Beneficiary will be provided
at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice before cancellation, lapse or modification.
1.4.3 Flood Insurance. In the event that at any time all or any portion of the Real
Property is determined to be located in a specially designated flood hazard area, the Grantor shall
obtain and maintain flood hazard insurance in the full insurable value of the improvements on or to
be constructed on the Real Property or the full amount of coverage available, if less than the full
insurable value of the improvements, naming the Beneficiary as the mortgagee. The Grantor shall be
required to provide flood hazard insurance as described, unless the Grantor’s insurance broker
certifies to the Beneficiary in writing that the Real Property is not in a flood hazard area. The
proceeds of any loss payable under a flood insurance policy shall be applied, at the option of the
Beneficiary, to restore, renovate, repair or rebuild the improvements, upon such terms and
conditions as the Beneficiary may deem reasonably appropriate at such time, or shall be applied to
the Grantor’s indebtedness to the Beneficiary, in inverse order of maturity, without prepayment
penalty, and the balance of such proceeds, if any, shall be paid to the Grantor.
5
1.5 Advances. If the Grantor should fail to perform any of the covenants contained in
Sections 1.3 and 1.4 of this Deed of Trust or to protect or preserve the Secured Property or the
status and priority of the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust, the Trustee or the
Beneficiary may make advances to perform the same on behalf of the Grantor or to protect or
preserve the Secured Property or the status and priority of the lien and security interest of this
Deed of Trust, and all sums so advanced shall immediately upon advancement become a lien and
security interest upon the Secured Property and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
Beneficiary in making any payment for Grantor, relating to taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer
rentals and other governmental, metropolitan or municipal charges, fines, impositions or liens
asserted against the Secured Property may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate
procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy of the xxxx,
statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or
title or claim thereof or relating to any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, statement of
lien, encumbrance, claim or charge, and Beneficiary shall be the sole judge of the legality or
validity of same. The Grantor will repay on demand all sums so advanced on the Grantor’s behalf,
plus any expenses or costs incurred by the Trustee or the Beneficiary, including attorneys’ fees,
with interest thereon at the rate provided for in the Note. The provisions of this section shall
not be construed to prevent the institution of foreclosure or other rights and remedies of the
Trustee in the event of a default by the Grantor. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the
authorization contained in this section shall impose no duty or obligation on the Trustee or the
Beneficiary to perform any action or make any advances on behalf of the Grantor and is for the sole
benefit and protection of the Beneficiary.
1.6 Condition and Use of Improvements. The Grantor will not at any time abandon the
Secured Property or commit any waste on the Secured Property or make any change in the use of the
Secured Property which will in any way increase any ordinary fire or other hazard insurance risk
arising out of the construction of Improvements on or operation of the Secured Property. The
Grantor will at all times maintain and keep the Secured Property in good operating order and
condition and will promptly make, from time to time, all repairs, renewals, replacements, additions
and improvements in connection therewith which are needed or desirable. The Grantor will fully and
strictly comply with all statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations or laws affecting the Secured
Property or the use thereof. The Improvements shall not be removed, demolished or substantially
altered, nor shall any Personalty be removed therefrom, without the prior written consent of the
Trustee or the Beneficiary, except where appropriate replacements, free of superior title, liens,
security interests or claims are immediately made of a value at least equal to the values of the
Personalty removed. The Grantor will permit the Trustee or the Beneficiary, or their agents or
employees, at all times to enter and inspect the Secured Property.
1.7 Inspection and Repairs. The Beneficiary shall have the right, at any time and
from time to time to engage an appropriate agent or other party to survey the adequacy of the
maintenance of the Secured Property. If found inadequate, such agent or party shall determine the
estimated cost of such repairs and replacements. In such event, at the option of Beneficiary and
within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, a sum equal to the amount of such estimated
costs shall thereupon become due and payable by Grantor to be applied upon the indebtedness secured
hereby unless within such period Grantor, at its own cost and expense, shall have completed or
shall have commenced and thereafter, with diligence, completed such repairs and replacements. In
such event, Grantor shall also reimburse the Beneficiary for the cost of such survey, the same
being secured hereby. If the survey
determines such maintenance to be adequate, then the cost thereof shall be at the expense of
Beneficiary.
6
1.8 Transfer or Encumbrance. Without prior written consent of the Trustee or the
Beneficiary, title to all or any portion of the Secured Property may not be acquired by any person,
individual, partnership, limited liability company or corporation, other than the Grantor, by
voluntary or involuntary conveyance, transfer, grant or assignment, by operation of law, or in any
other manner, or become encumbered or charged with a lien or security interest of any kind or
variety, whether voluntary or involuntary, including any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien or
judgment lien, senior, junior or equal to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust. In
the event the Grantor is a corporation, limited liability company or a general or limited
partnership, a conveyance, transfer, grant or assignment of, or a pledge, encumbrance or creation
of a lien or security interest in, shares of stock, membership interests or partnership interests
(whether or not such transaction is with respect to all or only a part of the total number of
outstanding shares of stock, membership interests or the total percentage of partnership interest,
or is in a single transaction or a series of transactions), from a person holding shares of stock,
membership interests or partnership interests in the Grantor on the date of this Deed of Trust to a
person not holding shares of stock, membership interests or partnership interests in the Grantor on
the date of this Deed of Trust, shall be considered to be a conveyance, transfer, grant or
assignment of, or pledge, encumbrance or creation of a lien or security interest in the Secured
Property, and shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. Anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event the ownership of the Secured Property becomes vested in a person,
individual, partnership or corporation other than the Grantor, the Trustee or the Beneficiary may,
without notice to the Grantor, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to
this Deed of Trust and the indebtedness secured by it in the same manner as with the Grantor, and
any extension of the time of the indebtedness or any other modifications of the terms of the
indebtedness at the instance of the then owner of the Secured Property shall not relieve the
Grantor of the Grantor’s liability on the Guaranty hereby secured or from the performance of any of
the covenants and agreements contained herein or any of the covenants, terms, conditions,
provisions, representations or warranties contained in the Credit Documents, whether the extension
or modification is made with or without the consent of the Grantor.
1.9 Condemnation and Allocation of Condemnation Awards. Grantor, immediately upon
obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceeding for a condemnation of the Secured Property
or any portion thereof, will notify the Trustee and the Beneficiary of such proceedings. The
Trustee or the Beneficiary may participate in any such proceedings, and Grantor will, from time to
time, deliver to the Trustee or the Beneficiary all instruments requested by them to permit such
participation. Any award or payment made as a result of any condemnation shall be paid to the
Trustee and the Beneficiary, jointly, to be applied, at Beneficiary’s option, to the restoration of
the remainder of the Secured Property, or to prepayment of the Obligations, in inverse order of
maturity, without prepayment penalty. All moneys not utilized for the repair or restoration of the
remainder of the Secured Property shall be applied as a prepayment of the Obligations, in inverse
order of maturity, without prepayment penalty. The application of any award or payment as a
prepayment of the Obligations shall take effect only on the actual date of the receipt of the
payment or award by the Trustee and the Beneficiary. In the event any payment or award is used to
restore the Secured Property, neither the Trustee nor the Beneficiary shall be obligated to see to
the proper allocation thereof nor shall any amount so used be deemed a payment of any indebtedness
secured by this Deed
of Trust. Payments or awards to be used for restoration purposes shall be held by the
Beneficiary and disbursed under such terms and conditions, to such persons, and at such times, as
Beneficiary may determine.
7
1.10 Future Advances; Readvances. The Beneficiary may make future advances to the
Grantor and may advance or, upon repayment by Grantor, readvance funds to the Grantor and all such

Deed of Trust.

with all applicable rules and regulations of the federal, state and local governmental authorities
having jurisdiction over the Secured Property and will also fully and strictly comply with all
restrictions, covenants, easements, set backs and other limitations on the use of the Secured
Property contained in documents of public record. In the event any political subdivision in which
the Secured Property is located adopts any law, ordinance, or regulation which imposes a limitation
on the uses to which the Secured Property can be devoted should the Secured Property be sold,
assigned, transferred or in any manner disposed of, the Grantor shall not consummate any such sale,
assignment, transfer or disposition (if permitted hereunder) without the prior written consent of
the Beneficiary.
1.12 No Consent to Changes of Restrictions, etc. Without the prior written consent of
the Beneficiary, the Grantor shall not initiate, join in, or consent to any change in, any
restrictive covenant, easement, zoning ordinance, or other public or private restrictions, limiting
or defining the uses which may be made of the Secured Property or any part thereof. The Grantor
shall promptly perform and observe, or cause to be performed and observed, all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of all instruments of record affecting this Deed of Trust, or which may
impose any duty or obligations upon the Grantor or any lessee or other occupant of the Secured
Property, or any part thereof, and the Grantor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve intact and unimpaired any and all easements, appurtenances and other interests and rights
in favor of or constituting any portion of the Premises.
1.13 Preservation of Lien. The Grantor shall take all steps and do all things
necessary, convenient or proper to establish and maintain the priority and status of the lien and
security interest in the Secured Property established or intended to be established by this Deed of
Trust, except and only to the extent the Beneficiary may have specifically and in writing consented
to the existence of a senior lien or security interest.
1.14 Security Agreement; Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust shall also constitute a
security agreement and fixture filing from the Grantor to the Beneficiary under the Texas
Uniform Commercial Code, as amended. The Grantor authorizes the Beneficiary to file with the

the Beneficiary’s sole opinion to perfect or continue as perfected the security interest created by
this Deed of Trust.

preserved; (iv) permit the Beneficiary or its designated representative to inspect the Equipment at
any and all reasonable times; and, (v) maintain the Equipment and its components at the Real

Beneficiary, the Grantor, at the sole expense of the Grantor, will make, execute, deliver and

the Beneficiary, be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate, complete, perfect or to continue
and preserve the obligation of the Grantor under the Guaranty or this Deed of Trust, and all
modifications, extensions, and other amendments of the same. Upon any failure by the Grantor so to
do, the Beneficiary may make, execute and record any and all such instruments, certificates and
documents for and in the name of Grantor, and at the sole expense of the Grantor, and the Grantor
hereby irrevocably appoints the Beneficiary the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Grantor so to do,
this appointment being coupled with an interest. The Beneficiary may, at its option, advance the
expenses incurred in making, executing and recording any and all such instruments, certificates and
documents, and the Grantor shall reimburse the Beneficiary for any such sums advanced, and the
same shall be part of the indebtedness secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust. With respect to
any financing statement, the Grantor agrees that carbon, photographic or other reproduction of a
security agreement or a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement for purposes of
the Texas Uniform Commercial Code.

ARTICLE IV
RIGHTS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT
RIGHTS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT
4.1 Acceleration; Remedies. At any time during the existence of an Event of Default,
Beneficiary, at Beneficiary’s option, may declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable
without further demand, and may invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by Texas
law or provided in this Deed of Trust or in the Guaranty. Grantor acknowledges that the power of
sale granted in this Deed of Trust may be exercised by Beneficiary without prior judicial hearing.
Beneficiary shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies,
including attorneys’ fees, costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports.
(a) If Beneficiary invokes the power of sale, Beneficiary may, by and through the Trustee, or
otherwise, sell or offer for sale the Secured Property in such portions, order and parcels as
Beneficiary may determine, with or without having first taken possession of the Secured Property,
to the highest bidder for cash at public auction. Such sale shall be made at the courthouse door
of the county in which all or any part of the Land to be sold is situated (whether the parts or
parcel, if any, situated in different counties are contiguous or not, and without the necessity of
having any Personalty present at such sale) on the first Tuesday of any month between the hours of
10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., after advertising the time, place and terms of sale and that portion of
the Secured Property to be sold by posting or causing to be posted written or printed notice of
sale at least twenty-one (21) days before the date of the sale at the courthouse door of the county
in which the sale is to be made and at the courthouse door of any other county in which a portion
of the Land may be situated, and by filing such notice with the County Clerk(s) of the county(s) in
which all or a portion of the Land may be situated, which notice may be posted and filed by the
Trustee acting, or by any person acting for the Trustee, and Beneficiary has, at least twenty-one
(21) days before the date of the sale, served written or printed notice of the proposed sale by
certified mail on each debtor obligated to pay the Obligations according to Beneficiary’s records
by the deposit of such notice, enclosed in a postpaid wrapper, properly addressed to such debtor at
debtor’s most recent address as shown by Beneficiary’s records, 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.
(b) Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser at the sale, within a reasonable time after the
sale, a deed conveying the Secured Property so sold in fee simple with covenants of general
warranty. Grantor covenants and agrees to defend generally the purchaser’s title to the Secured
Property against all claims and demands. The recitals in Trustee’s deed shall be prima facie
evidence of the truth of the statements contained in those recitals. Trustee shall apply the
proceeds of the sale in the following order: (i) to all reasonable costs and expenses of the sale,
including reasonable Trustee’s fees not to exceed 5% of the gross sales price, attorneys’ fees and
costs of title evidence; (ii) to the Obligations in such order as Beneficiary, in Beneficiary’s
discretion, directs; and (iii) the excess, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled to the
excess.
12
(c) If all or any part of the Secured Property is sold pursuant to this Article IV, Grantor
will be divested of any and all interest and claim to the Secured Property, including any interest
or claim to all insurance policies, utility deposits, bonds, loan commitments and other intangible
property included as a part of the Secured Property. Additionally, after a sale of all or any part
of the Land, Improvements and Personalty, Grantor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the
purchaser of the same, and the purchaser shall be entitled to immediate possession of such
property. If Grantor shall fail to vacate the Secured Property immediately, the purchaser may and
shall have the right, without further notice to Grantor, to go into any justice court in any
precinct or county in which the Secured Property is located and file an action in forcible entry
and detainer, which action shall lie against Grantor or its assigns or legal representatives, as a
tenant at sufferance. This remedy is cumulative of any and all remedies the purchaser may have
under this Deed of Trust or otherwise.
(d) In any action for a deficiency after a foreclosure under this Deed of Trust, if any person
against whom recovery is sought requests the court in which the action is pending to determine the
fair market value of the Secured Property, as of the date of the foreclosure sale, the following
shall be the basis of the court’s determination of fair market value:
(i) | the Secured Property shall be valued “as is” and in its condition as of the date of foreclosure, and no assumption of increased value because of post-foreclosure repairs, refurbishment, restorations or improvements shall be made; |
(ii) | any adverse effect on the marketability of title because of the foreclosure or because of any other title condition not existing as of the date of this Deed of Trust shall be considered; |
(iii) | the valuation of the Secured Property shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a prompt resale of the Secured Property for cash within a six month-period after foreclosure; |
(iv) | although the Secured Property may be disposed of more quickly by the foreclosure purchaser, the gross valuation of the Secured Property as of the date of foreclosure shall be discounted for a hypothetical reasonable holding period (not to exceed 6 months) at a monthly rate equal to the average monthly interest rate on the Note for the twelve months before the date of foreclosure; |
(v) | the gross valuation of the Secured Property as of the date of foreclosure shall be further discounted and reduced by reasonable estimated costs of disposition, including brokerage commissions, title policy premiums, environmental assessment and clean-up costs, tax and assessment, prorations, costs to comply with legal requirements and attorneys’ fees; |
(vi) | expert opinion testimony shall be considered only from a licensed appraiser certified by the State of Texas and, to the extent permitted under Texas law, a member of the Appraisal Institute, having at least five years’ experience in appraising property similar to the Secured Property in the county where the Secured Property is located, and who has conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Secured Property taking into considerations the factors set forth in this Deed of Trust; no expert opinion testimony shall be considered without such written appraisal; |
13
(vii) | evidence of comparable sales shall be considered only if also included in the expert opinion testimony and written appraisal referred to in subsection (vi), above; and |
(viii) | an affidavit executed by Beneficiary to the effect that the foreclosure bid accepted by Trustee was equal to or greater than the value of the Secured Property determined by Beneficiary based upon the factors and methods set forth in subsections (i) through (vii) above before the foreclosure shall constitute prima facie evidence that the foreclosure bid was equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Secured Property on the foreclosure date. |
(e) Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s option, comply with these provisions in the manner
permitted or required by Title 5, Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code (relating to the sale
of real estate) or by Chapter 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code (relating to the sale of
collateral after default by a debtor), as those titles and chapters now exist or may be amended or
succeeded in the future, or by any other present or future articles or enactments relating to same
subject. Unless expressly excluded, the Secured Property shall include rents collected before a
foreclosure sale, but attributable to the period following the foreclosure sale, and Grantor shall
pay such rents to the purchaser at such sale. At any such sale:
(i) | whether made under the power contained in this Deed of Trust, Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code, Chapter 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, any other legal requirement or by virtue of any judicial proceedings or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, it shall not be necessary for Trustee to have physically present, or to have constructive possession of, the Secured Property (Grantor shall deliver to Trustee any portion of the Secured Property not actually or constructively possessed by Trustee immediately upon demand by Trustee) and the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser as completely as if the property had been actually present and delivered to the purchaser at the sale; |
(ii) | each instrument of conveyance executed by Trustee shall contain a general warranty of title, binding upon Grantor; |
(iii) | the recitals contained in any instrument of conveyance made by Trustee shall conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters recited in the Deed of Trust, including nonpayment of the Obligations and the advertisement and conduct of the sale in the manner provided in this Deed of Trust and otherwise by law and the appointment of any successor Trustee; |
(iv) | all prerequisites to the validity of the sale shall be conclusively presumed to have been satisfied; |
14
(v) | the receipt of Trustee or of such other party or officer making the sale shall be sufficient to discharge to the purchaser or purchasers for such purchaser(s)’ purchase money, and no such purchaser or purchasers, or such purchaser(s)’ assigns or personal representatives, shall thereafter be obligated to see to the application of such purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication of such purchase money; |
(vi) | to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of Grantor’s right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold, and such sale shall be a perpetual bar to any claim to all or any part of the property sold, both at law and in equity, against Grantor and against any person claiming by, through or under Grantor; and |
(vii) | to the extent and under such circumstances as are permitted by law, Beneficiary may be a purchaser at any such sale. |
4.1 Remedies Non-exclusive. The rights and remedies provided in this Article IV upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder shall be non-exclusive and shall be in addition to
all other remedies and rights available under this Deed of Trust and the Guaranty or applicable
law. All rights and remedies available in the Event of Default shall be cumulative and the
exercise of any one or more of the available rights and remedies shall not be considered as or
result in a waiver of any other right or remedy and any particular right or remedy may be exercised
in conjunction with any or all other rights and remedies provided hereunder.
4.2 Release of Security. The Beneficiary and Trustee, without notice and without
regard to the consideration, if any, paid therefor, and notwithstanding the existence at that time
of any inferior deeds of trust or other liens thereon, may release any part of the security
described herein or may release any person liable for any indebtedness secured hereby without in
any way affecting the priority of this Deed of Trust, to the full extent of the indebtedness
remaining unpaid hereunder, upon any part of the security not expressly released. The Beneficiary
may also agree with any party obligated on such indebtedness or having any interest in the security
described herein to extend the time for payment of any part or all of the indebtedness secured
hereby, and such agreement shall not, in any way, release or impair this Deed of Trust, but shall
extend the same as against the title of all parties having any interest in such security, which
interest is subject to this Deed of Trust.
15
4.3 Assignment of Rents. Grantor assigns to Beneficiary absolutely, not only as
collateral, all present and future rent and other income and receipts from the Secured Property.
Leases are not assigned. Grantor warrants the validity and enforceability of the assignment.
Grantor may as Beneficiary’s licensee collect rent and other income and receipts as long as Grantor
is not in default under the Guaranty or this Deed of Trust. Grantor will apply all rent and other
income and receipts to payment and performance of the Obligations, but if the rent and other income
and receipts exceed the amount of the Obligations, Grantor may retain the excess. If Grantor
defaults in payment or performance of the Obligations, Beneficiary may terminate Grantor’s license
to collect and then as Grantor’s agent may rent the Secured Property if it is vacant and collect
all rent and other income and
receipts. Beneficiary neither has nor assumes any obligations as lessor or landlord with
respect to any occupant of the Secured Property. Beneficiary shall apply all rent and other income
and receipts collected under this Section 4.3 without taking possession of the Secured
Property. Beneficiary shall apply all rent and other income and receipts collected under this
Section 4.3 first to expenses incurred in exercising Beneficiary’s rights and remedies and
then to Grantor’s Obligations in the order determined by Beneficiary. Beneficiary is not required
to act under this Section 4.3, and acting under this Section 4.3 does not waive any
of Beneficiary’s other rights or remedies. If Grantor becomes a voluntary or involuntary bankrupt,
Beneficiary’s filing a proof of claim in bankruptcy will be tantamount to the appointment of a
receiver under Texas law.

of Trust.

request, consent, demand statement, note or other paper or document believed by them to be genuine
and to have been signed by the party or parties purporting to sign the same. The Trustee may act
