thereof, such certificate shall be in form and substance acceptable to the
Beneficiary and shall be duly executed by the insurance company issuing the

payment of the premium therefor and accompanied by other proof of payment
satisfactory to the Beneficiary. Each such insurance policy shall (i) be written
by a company or companies having an A.M. Best rating of A or better in a
financial category of VII or better and be otherwise satisfactory to the
Beneficiary in form and substance and (ii) not be terminated, cancelled,
surrendered, modified, amended or supplemented without at least 30 days' prior

11
(f) The Beneficiary shall retain and apply any net insurance
proceeds received by it for loss or damage under any insurance policy in effect
pursuant to PARAGRAPH 7(a) or 7(c) at the option of the Beneficiary, to the
prepayment of the Obligations (notwithstanding the fact that the same may not
then be due and payable) or to the reimbursement of the Borrower for the costs
paid by the Borrower in connection with the repair, replacement or restoration
of the Improvements and the Personal Property, except that net insurance
proceeds of less than $25,000 shall be applied by the Beneficiary to repair,
replacement and/or restoration. The Borrower hereby (i) grants, bargains, sells,
conveys, warrants, assigns, transfers, pledges, sets over and confirms unto the
Beneficiary and (ii) grants the Beneficiary a security interest in, such net
insurance proceeds. Such net insurance proceeds shall be (1) collateral security

lieu of foreclosure, the Borrower shall deliver the Mortgaged Property free of
any and all Hazardous Substances.
11. LIMITATIONS OF USE. The Borrower shall not initiate, join
in or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning
ordinance or other public or private restriction limiting the uses which may be

of Trust, (b) stating whether any offsets, defenses and/or counterclaims exist
in connection with the Obligations and (c) addressing such other matters in
connection with the other Loan Documents as the Beneficiary may reasonably
request.
13. ACTIONS BY THE BENEFICIARY TO PROTECT THE MORTGAGED
PROPERTY; ETC. If the Borrower shall fail to (a) effect the insurance required
under PARAGRAPH 7, (b) make the payments
13
14
required under PARAGRAPH 8, (c) make any other payment required under the Credit
Agreement, this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document or (d) comply with any
other term or covenant of any Loan Document, the Beneficiary may effect, pay or
cure the same, as the case may be. All sums, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and disbursements, so incurred by the Beneficiary or incurred by
the Beneficiary (i) to sustain the lien or estate of this Deed of Trust or its
priority (including, without limitation, the sums specified in PARAGRAPH 28),
(ii) to protect or enforce any of the Beneficiary's rights under this Credit
Agreement, this Deed of Trust or any Loan Document, or (iii) to recover or
collect the Obligations, shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property, shall be
deemed secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be paid to the Beneficiary by the
Borrower within 10 days after demand therefor (together with interest thereon at
the Default Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), from the date the same
was incurred to the date of the full payment thereof). In any action and/or
proceeding to foreclose this Deed of Trust and/or to recover and/or collect the
Obligations (or any portion thereof), the provisions of law respecting the
recovery of costs, disbursements and/or allowances shall prevail unaffected by
this covenant.
14. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES.
(a) Pursuant to the assignment made by the Borrower in
PARAGRAPH B of the Granting Clause of this Deed of Trust, Borrower hereby
conveys, transfers and assigns to Beneficiary all Space Leases and the rents,
revenues, issues, income or profits therefrom ("RENTS"). This assignment shall
continue in effect until the satisfaction in full of the Obligations and this
Deed of Trust is canceled or discharged of record; however, so long as no
Default exists, Borrower shall have a license to collect, and may retain, use
and enjoy the Rents as they become due, but not prior to accrual. Such license
granted to Borrower shall be immediately revoked without further notice or
demand upon the occurrence of a Default. The Borrower irrevocably appoints the
Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, at any time and from time to
time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, to
demand, receive and enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and
satisfactions, and to xxx, in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, for the
Rents and apply the same to the Obligations. The foregoing assignment of Rents
is intended to be an absolute assignment from the Borrower to the beneficiary
and not merely the passing of a security interest. The Rents are assigned
absolutely by the Borrower to the Beneficiary for the benefit of the Beneficiary
subject only to the terms of this Deed of Trust.
(b) The Borrower shall not execute or deliver or permit the
execution or delivery of any Space Lease without the prior consent of the
Beneficiary. The Borrower shall (a) perform and observe or cause to be performed
and observed all covenants and agreements required to be performed or observed
by the lessor under each Space Lease and (b) enforce the performance and
observance of all covenants and agreements required to be performed or observed
by the lessee under each Space Lease. The Borrower shall not (i) assign or
permit the assignment of any Space Lease or the Rents to any Person other than
to the Beneficiary, (ii) accept or permit the acceptance of a prepayment of rent
under any Space Lease in excess of rent for one month, (iii) terminate, cancel
or permit a surrender, termination or cancellation of any
14
15
Space Lease, (iv) permit the assignment of the lessee's interest under any Space
Lease or permit the subletting of the space demised by any Space Lease or (v)
modify, amend or supplement or permit the modification, amendment or supplement
of any Space Lease.
(c) To the extent permitted by law, upon the occurrence of any
Default, the Beneficiary, at any time without notice, either in person, by agent
or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any
security for the Obligations secured hereby, may enter upon and take possession
of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, in its own name, xxx for or
otherwise collect the Rents including those past due and unpaid, and apply the
same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, (including attorney's
fees and disbursements), to the payment of the Obligations secured hereby, and
in such order as the Beneficiary may determine. The collection of the Rents or
the entering upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof, or the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any
Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done in response to such Default
or pursuant to notice thereof. The Beneficiary is hereby absolved from all
liability for failure to enforce collection of any Rents, and from all other
responsibility in connection therewith.
(d) Nothing in this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to make the
Beneficiary a "mortgagee-in-possession" or otherwise be construed to create a
delegation to or assumption by the Beneficiary of the duties and obligations of
the Borrower under any agreement or contract relating to the Mortgaged Property
or any portion thereof, and all of the parties to any such contract shall
continue to look to the Borrower for performance of all covenants and other
obligations and the satisfaction of all representations and warranties of the
Borrower thereunder, notwithstanding the assignment of Rents herein made or the
exercise by the Beneficiary, prior to foreclosure, of any of its rights
hereunder or under applicable law.
15. DISPOSITION OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY; ETC. (a) The
Borrower shall not (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or
otherwise) sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of or suffer any other
Person to sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the
Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. A sale, conveyance, transfer or
other disposition of the Mortgaged Property shall include, without limitation
(i) any direct or indirect sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of
all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein, (ii) the
execution of any lease for (a) the Mortgaged Property (or any portion
thereof)(other than the Improvements) and/or (b) space in the Improvements
covering space (in the aggregate) in excess of 2,000 square feet and (iii) any
assignment, encumbrance, pledge, grant of security interest, conditional sale or
title retention agreement in connection with the Personal Property.
(b) No interest (whether legal, beneficial or otherwise) in
the Borrower or in any Person (at any tier) directly or indirectly owning any
interest (whether legal, beneficial or otherwise) in the Borrower shall be
pledged, encumbered, sold, conveyed, transferred or otherwise disposed of
(whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise). The
15
16
Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of the Beneficiary, issue any
additional stock or other equity interest.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
PARAGRAPH 15(A), the Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to
time, to remove and dispose of any of the Personal Property which is obsolete or
no longer useful in the use, occupancy, maintenance, repair, replacement,
restoration, operation, management and ownership of the Improvements, provided
that the Borrower promptly replaces the same with other Personal Property which
is (i) owned by the Borrower free of all mortgages, liens, charges, encumbrances
and other matters of title and (ii) at least equal in quality, usefulness and
value in connection with the use, occupancy, maintenance, repair, replacement,
restoration, operation, management and ownership of the Improvements as the
Personal Property that was removed and disposed of.
16. INTEREST AFTER A TAKING; AWARDS. The Beneficiary shall
have the right to join the Borrower in adjusting and compromising any and all
awards in connection with any Taking. All such awards shall be paid to the
Beneficiary and shall be applied by the Beneficiary to the payment of the
Obligations (notwithstanding the fact that the same may not then be due and
payable).
17. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS.
(a) The Borrower shall not assign or permit the assignment of
any of the Permits to any Person other than the Beneficiary.
(b) The Borrower shall not terminate, cancel or permit a
surrender, termination or cancellation of any of the Permits or Permitted
Encumbrances benefitting the Mortgaged Property.
(c) The Borrower shall not modify, amend or supplement or
permit the modification, amendment or supplement of any of the Permits or
Permitted Encumbrances benefitting the Mortgaged Property.
(d) The Borrower shall keep the Permits in full force and
effect.
(e) The Borrower shall promptly notify the Beneficiary of the
commencement and/or existence of any action, litigation, proceeding, claim
and/or investigation against any of the Borrower's property (including, without
limitation, the Mortgaged Property) or the Borrower.
(f) The Borrower shall deliver to the Beneficiary (a),
promptly after the Borrower knows or has reason to know that any Default (as
hereinafter defined) has occurred, a notice of such Default, describing the same
in reasonable detail and (b), promptly after the Borrower knows or has reason to
know that any event has occurred or failed to occur which with
16
17
notice and/or the lapse of time could became a Default, a notice of such events,
describing the same in reasonable detail.
18. DEFAULTS. If any one of the following defaults (a
"DEFAULT") shall occur and be continuing:
(a) The occurrence of any default under the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the breach of any of the terms
or provisions of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, which
default or breach continues beyond any period of grace, if any therein
provided;
(b) The breach by the Borrower of any of the terms or
provisions of this Deed of Trust;
thereupon, the Beneficiary may declare the Obligations to be immediately due and
payable from the Borrower, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and
payable without presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest or other
formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrower.
19. REMEDIES; ETC. (a) If a Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Beneficiary may exercise all remedies set forth in the Credit
Agreement and other Loan Documents, and the Beneficiary shall have all other
rights and remedies of a mortgagee of a mortgage or beneficiary of a deed of
trust (the power of sale permitted and provided by applicable statute including
without limitation Texas Property Code, Section 51.002, or any successor
statute, being hereby expressly granted by the Borrower to the Trustee and the
Beneficiary) with respect to any or all of the Mortgaged Property, and to the
extent permitted by law, personally or, to the extent permitted by law, by
agents, with or without entry, the Beneficiary shall have the right and power to
(or on its behalf, instruct the Trustee to):
(i) sell the Mortgaged Property (or any
portion thereof) to the highest bidder at public
auction at a sale or sales held at such place and
time and upon such notice or otherwise in such manner
as may be required by law, or in the absence of any
such requirement, as the Beneficiary may deem
appropriate and from time to time adjourn such sale
by announcement at the time and place specified for
such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales without
further notice, except such as may be required by
law;
(ii) proceed to protect and enforce its
rights under the Credit Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents by suit for specific performance of
any covenant herein contained or contained in the
Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
or in aid of the execution of any power herein
granted or granted in the Credit Agreement or any of
17
18
the other Loan Documents, or for the foreclosure of
this Deed of Trust and the sale of the Mortgaged
Property (or any portion thereof) under the judgment
or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, or
for the enforcement of any other right as the
Beneficiary shall deem most effectual for such
purpose; and
(iii) enter upon and take immediate
possession of the real property included in the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, to exclude
the Borrower therefrom, to hold, use, operate, manage
and control the real property included in the
Mortgaged Property, to make all such repairs,
replacements, alterations, additions and improvements
to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as the
Beneficiary may deem proper, and to demand, collect
and retain the Rents as provided in paragraph 14
hereof.
(b) In any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary, to
the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled as a matter of right to the
appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property and/or of the rents,
revenues, issues, income and/or profits thereof, without notice or demand, and
without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations or the
solvency of the Borrower.
(c) The Borrower, in the event of any Default, shall pay monthly in
advance to the Beneficiary or to any receiver appointed at the request of the
Beneficiary to collect the rents, revenues, issues, income and/or profits of the
Mortgaged Property, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and
occupancy of the Mortgaged Property or of such portion thereof as may be in the
possession of the Borrower. Upon default in the payment thereof, the Borrower
shall vacate and surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property or such portion
to the Beneficiary or to such receiver, and upon a failure so to do may be
evicted by summary proceedings.
(d) In any sale under any provision of this Deed of Trust or pursuant
to any judgment or decree of court, the Mortgaged Property, to the extent
permitted by law, may be sold in one or more parcels, or as an entirety, and in
such order as the Beneficiary may elect, without regard to the right of the
Borrower or any Person claiming under the Borrower to the marshaling of assets.
The purchaser at such sale shall take title to the property so sold free and
discharged of the estate of the Borrower therein, the purchaser being hereby
discharged from all liability to see to the application of the purchase money.
Any Person, including, without limitation, the Beneficiary, may purchase at any
such sale.
(e) The Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Beneficiary (and the affiliates, employees, agents, contractors, officers and

demand and judgment (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and
disbursements) in any way related to any action, litigation, proceeding, claim,
investigation, demand, defense or assertion based on, grounded upon or resulting
from any alleged or actual breach of any representation, warranty or
certification made by the Borrower in any of the other Loan Documents, and in
case any action and/or proceeding is brought against the Beneficiary in
connection with any such breach, the Borrower shall, upon notice from the
Beneficiary, defend the same by counsel satisfactory to the Beneficiary. The
Borrower shall promptly pay the cost of such defense.

either under the power of sale hereby given or under a judgment, order or decree
made in any action to foreclose or to enforce this Deed of Trust shall be

sale, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements
in the court of original jurisdiction and in any appellate proceedings
and (ii) all charges, expenses and advances incurred or paid by the

(c) any surplus remaining to be paid to the Borrower or to
whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
21. NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP. The relationship between
the Borrower and the Beneficiary created hereby is strictly of debtor/creditor
and nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be deemed or
construed to create a joint venture or partnership between the Borrower and the
Beneficiary.
22. WAIVERS BY THE BORROWER. The Borrower hereby waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) any and all rights and equities of
redemption from sale under the power of sale created under this Deed of Trust
and from sale under any judgment, order or decree of foreclosure of this Deed of
Trust and all notice or notices of seizure and (b) the benefit of any and all
exemption, valuation, appraisement, marshalling, stay and extension rights now
or hereafter in force.
23. NO WAIVER. No failure to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any power, remedy or right
under this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents by the Beneficiary shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise by the Beneficiary of any power, remedy or right
under this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other power, remedy or right. Each of the
19
20
remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by (a) law or (b) the Credit Agreement or (c) any of the other Loan
Documents.
24. POWERS OF THE BENEFICIARY. The Beneficiary shall have the
right, at any time and from time to time, to renew or to extend this Deed of
Trust, or to alter or modify the same in any way, or to waive any of the terms,
covenants or conditions hereof in whole or in part and shall have the right to
release any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any other security, and to
grant such extensions or indulgences in relation to the Obligations as the
Beneficiary may determine without the consent of any junior lienor and without
any obligation to give notice of any kind thereto and without in any manner
affecting the priority or the lien hereof on any portion of the Mortgaged
Property.
25. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE; TRUSTEE'S POWERS; RECONVEYANCE BY
TRUSTEE.
(a) The Trustee may resign in writing addressed to the
Beneficiary or be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in
writing duly executed by the Beneficiary. In case of the death, resignation or
removal of the Trustee, a successor to the Trustee may be appointed by the
Beneficiary without formality other than an appointment and designation in
writing unless otherwise required by applicable law. Such appointment and
designation will be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same
and of all facts therein recited, and upon the making of any such appointment
and designation, this Deed of Trust will vest in the named successor trustee all
the right, title and interest of the Trustee in all of the Mortgaged Property,
and said successor will thereupon succeed to all the rights, powers, privileges,
immunities and duties hereby conferred upon the Trustee.
(b) At any time, or from time to time without liability
therefor and without notice, upon written request of the Beneficiary and
presentation of this Deed of Trust, and without affecting the personal liability
of any person for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby or the effect of
this Deed of Trust upon the remainder of the Mortgaged Property, the Trustee may
(a) reconvey any part of the Mortgaged Property, (b) consent in writing to the
making of any map or plat thereof, (c) join in granting any easement thereon, or
(d) join in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or
charge hereof.
(c) Upon written request of the Beneficiary stating that all
sums secured hereby have been paid, and upon surrender of this Deed of Trust to
the Trustee for cancellation and retention and upon payment by the Borrower of
the Trustee's fees, the Trustee shall reconvey to the Borrower, or to the person
or persons legally entitled thereto, without warranty, any portion of the Real
Property Collateral then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of
any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The
grantee in any reconveyance may be described as "the person or persons legally
entitled thereto."
20
21
26. NOTICES. All notices, demands, consents, statements,
requests, approvals and other communications hereunder (collectively, "NOTICES")
shall be in writing. All notices shall be given in the manner provided in the
Credit Agreement.
27. AMENDMENTS; ETC. This Deed of Trust cannot be terminated,
cancelled, modified, amended, supplemented, waived or discharged except by an
instrument in writing, duly acknowledged in form for recording, signed by the
party against whom enforcement of such modification, charge or discharge is
sought.
28. SECURITY AGREEMENT; FIXTURE FILING. This Deed of Trust
shall be a security agreement and "fixture filing" under Article 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by the State of Texas, as amended and/or
supplemented from time to time. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the
Beneficiary to execute, in the Borrower's name, and to file any financing
statement or continuation statement which the Deed of Trust deems necessary or
advisable to preserve or maintain the priority of the lien hereof or to extend
the effectiveness thereof, and the Borrower shall pay to the Beneficiary,
pursuant to PARAGRAPH 13, any costs from time to time incurred by the
Beneficiary for filing any such statement under such Code or under any other
laws. After an event of Default occurs, Beneficiary may require Borrower to
assemble the Personal Property Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary
at a reasonably convenient place Beneficiary designates. Borrower authorizes
each obligor on any Personal Property Collateral to make payment and performance
to Beneficiary upon Beneficiary's demand, and payment or performance to
Beneficiary will discharge the obligor's duty as if it had been rendered to
Borrower, even if Borrower notifies the obligor that payment or performance
should not be made to Beneficiary. Except for the safe custody of any Personal
Property Collateral in its possession and accounting for money actually received
by it, Beneficiary has no duty as to any Personal Property Collateral, including
the duty to preserve rights against prior parties. Written notice to Borrower
mailed 10 days prior to public or private sale is reasonable notice.
29. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The provisions of this Deed of
Trust (including, without limitation, the indemnities set forth in PARAGRAPH 10)
shall run with the Land and shall bind the Borrower, its successors and assigns,
and all subsequent encumbrances, tenants and subtenants of the Mortgaged
Property (or any portion thereof), and shall inure to the benefit of the
Beneficiary, its successors and assigns, and (notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in any of the other Loan Documents) such indemnities shall
survive the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust and repayment in full of the
Obligations.
30. SEVERABILITY/CAPTIONS. If any provision of this Deed of
Trust or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, to any
extent, be illegal, invalid and/or unenforceable, the remainder of this Deed of
Trust or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other
than those as to which it is illegal, invalid and/or unenforceable, as the case
may be, shall not be affected, and each provision of this Deed of Trust shall be
legal, valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by law. The illegality,
invalidity and/or unenforceability of any provision of this Deed of Trust in any
jurisdiction shall not affect the
21
22
legality, validity and/or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction. The
captions or headings at the beginning of each paragraph hereof are for the
convenience of the parties and are not part of this Deed of Trust.
31. INVALIDITY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS. If the lien or estate of
this Deed of Trust is invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the
Obligations, the unsecured or partially secured portion of such indebtedness
shall be paid completely prior to the payment of the remaining and secured or
partially secured portion thereof, and all payments made on such indebtedness,
whether voluntary or under foreclosure or other enforcement action or procedure,
shall be considered to have been paid on and applied first to the full payment
of that portion thereof that is not secured or fully secured by the lien or
estate of this Deed of Trust.
32. MERGER / CONFLICTS. This Deed of Trust, the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding
between the Borrower and the Beneficiary with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Deed of Trust, and any and all other agreements,
understandings and statements (oral or written) between the Borrower and the
Beneficiary in connection therewith are merged into this Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between any
provision of this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document, the provision which is more protective or more favorable to the
Beneficiary shall control.
33. FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR CALCULATING DEFICIENCIES. If
Beneficiary sues Borrower, any other party obligated on the Debt or any
guarantor of any Debt to collect any deficiency owing after foreclosure of the
Mortgaged Property, "fair market value" of the Mortgaged Property under Sections
51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as amended from time to
time) (the "Deficiency Statutes") will be determined as follows:
(a) Any valuation of the Mortgaged Property will be based on
"as is" condition on the foreclosure date, without any assumption or expectation
that the Mortgaged Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a
resale of the Mortgaged Property after foreclosure.
(b) Any valuation will assume that the foreclosure purchaser
desires resale of the Mortgaged Property for cash promptly (but no later than
twelve months) following the foreclosure sale.
(c) All reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the
seller in a commercial real estate transaction, including brokerage commissions,
title insurance, a survey of the Mortgaged Property, tax prorations, attorney's
fees, and marketing costs, will be deducted from the gross fair market value of
the Mortgaged Property.
(d) Any valuation will further discount the gross fair market
value of the Mortgaged Property to account for any estimated holding costs
associated with maintaining the
22
23
Mortgaged Property pending sale, including utilities expenses, property
management fees, taxes and assessments, and other maintenance expenses.
(e) Any expert opinion testimony given or considered in
connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged
Property must be given by persons who have at least five years experience in
appraising property similar to the Mortgaged Property and who have conducted and
prepared a complete written appraisal of the Mortgaged Property taking into
consideration the factors set forth above.
