(a) Right to Perform Borrower’s Covenants.

DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FINANCING STATEMENT – Page 8 |
(b) Right of Entry. Lender may, prior or subsequent to the institution of any foreclosure proceedings, enter upon the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and take exclusive possession of the Mortgaged Property and of all books, records, and accounts relating thereto and to exercise without interference from Borrower any and all rights which Borrower has with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection, or preservation of the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation the right to rent the same for the account of Borrower and to apply such Rents as provided in Article IX hereof. All such costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred by Xxxxxx in collecting such Rents and in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting, or preserving the Mortgaged Property, if not paid out of Rents as set forth in Section 9.3 hereof, shall constitute a demand obligation owing by Borrower and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Interest Rate, all of which shall constitute a portion of the Indebtedness. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, Lender may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess Borrower, including specifically one or more actions for forcible entry and detainer, trespass to try title, and restitution. In connection with any action taken by Lender pursuant to this subsection, Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Borrower resulting from any failure to let the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or from any other act or omission of Lender in managing the Mortgaged Property unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct of Lender, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty, or liability under any Lease or under or by reason hereof or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder. BORROWER SHALL AND DOES HEREBY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY LENDER FOR, AND TO HOLD LENDER HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, LOSS, OR DAMAGE, WHICH MAY OR MIGHT BE INCURRED BY LENDER UNDER ANY SUCH LEASE OR UNDER OR BY REASON HEREOF OR THE EXERCISE OF RIGHTS OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, AND FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND DEMANDS WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE ASSERTED AGAINST LENDER BY REASON OF ANY ALLEGED OBLIGATIONS OR UNDERTAKINGS ON ITS PART TO PERFORM OR DISCHARGE ANY OF THE TERMS, COVENANTS, OR AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN ANY SUCH LEASE. Should Lender incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including without limitation costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Interest Rate, shall be secured hereby, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender therefor immediately upon demand. Nothing in this subsection shall impose any duty, obligation, or responsibility upon Lender for the control, care, management, leasing, or repair of the Mortgaged Property, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any such Lease; nor shall it operate to make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Mortgaged Property by the tenants or by any other parties, or for any hazardous or environmentally sensitive substance in, on or under the Mortgaged Property, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Mortgaged Property or for any negligence in the management, leasing, upkeep, repair, or control of the Mortgaged Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee, or stranger. Borrower hereby assents to, ratifies, and confirms any and all actions of Lender with respect to the Mortgaged Property taken under this subsection.
The remedies in this subsection are in addition to other remedies available to Lender and the exercise of the remedies in this subsection shall not be deemed to be an election of nonjudicial or judicial remedies otherwise available to Lender. The remedies in this Article VII are available under and governed by the real property laws of Texas and are not governed by the personal property laws of Texas, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.604 of the Code, including, the power to dispose of personal property in a commercially reasonable manner under Section 9.627 of the Code or the application of proceeds under Section 9.615 of the Code. No action by Xxxxxx taken pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed to be an acceptance of collateral in satisfaction of obligations under Section 9.620 of the Code. Any receipt of consideration received by Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be immediately credited against the Indebtedness (in the inverse order of maturity) and the value of said consideration shall be treated like any other payment against the Indebtedness.

(c) Right to Accelerate. Lender may, without notice, demand, presentment, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or any other notice or any other action, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower and all other parties obligated in any manner whatsoever on the Indebtedness, declare the entire unpaid balance of the Indebtedness immediately due and payable, and upon such declaration, the entire unpaid balance of the Indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable. The failure to exercise any remedy available to Lender shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights or remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity.
(d) Foreclosure-Power of Sale. Lender may request Trustee to proceed with foreclosure under the power of sale which is hereby conferred, such foreclosure to be accomplished in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) Public Sale. Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, and it shall be Trustee’s special duty, upon such request of Xxxxxx, to sell the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, with or without having taken possession of same. Any such sale (including notice thereof) shall comply with the applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code or, if and to the extent such statute is not then in force, with the applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of the successor statute or statutes, if any, governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust. If there is no statute in force at the time of the sale governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust, such sale shall comply with applicable law, at the time of the sale, governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust.
(ii) Right to Require Proof of Financial Ability and/or Cash Bid. At any time during the bidding, the Trustee may require a bidding party (A) to disclose its full name, state and city of residence, occupation, and specific business office location, and the name and address of the principal the bidding party is representing (if applicable), and (B) to demonstrate reasonable evidence of the bidding party’s financial ability (or, if applicable, the financial ability of the principal of such bidding party), as a condition to the bidding party submitting bids at the foreclosure sale. If any such bidding party (the “Questioned Bidder”) declines to comply with the Trustee’s requirement in this regard, or if such Questioned Bidder does respond but the Trustee, in Trustee’s sole and absolute discretion, deems the information or the evidence of the financial ability of the Questioned Bidder (or, if applicable, the principal of such bidding party) to be inadequate, then the Trustee may continue the bidding with reservation; and in such event (1) the Trustee shall be authorized to caution the Questioned Bidder concerning the legal obligations to be incurred in submitting bids, and (2) if the Questioned Bidder is not the highest bidder at the sale, or if having been the highest bidder the Questioned Bidder fails to deliver the cash purchase price payment promptly to the Trustee, all bids by the Questioned Bidder shall be null and void. The Trustee may, in Trustee’s sole and absolute discretion, determine that a credit bid may be in the best interest of Borrower and Lender, and elect to sell the Mortgaged Property for credit or for a combination of cash and credit; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to accept any bid except an all cash bid. In the event the Trustee requires a cash bid and cash is not delivered within a reasonable time after conclusion of the bidding process, as specified by the Trustee, but in no event later than 3:45 p.m. local time on the day of sale, then said contingent sale shall be null and void, the bidding process may be recommenced, and any subsequent bids or sale shall be made as if no prior bids were made or accepted.

(iii) Sale Subject to Unmatured Indebtedness. In addition to the rights and powers of sale granted under the preceding provisions of this subsection, if default is made in the payment of any installment of the Indebtedness, Lender may, at Lender’s option, at once or at any time thereafter while any matured installment remains unpaid, without declaring the entire Indebtedness to be due and payable, orally or in writing direct Trustee to enforce this trust and to sell the Mortgaged Property subject to such unmatured Indebtedness and to the rights, powers, liens, security interests, and assignments securing or providing recourse for payment of such unmatured Indebtedness, in the same manner, all as provided in the preceding provisions of this subsection. Sales made without maturing the Indebtedness may be made hereunder whenever there is a default in the payment of any installment of the Indebtedness, without exhausting the power of sale granted hereby, and without affecting in any way the power of sale granted under this subsection, the unmatured balance of the Indebtedness or the rights, powers, liens, security interests, and assignments securing or providing recourse for payment of the Indebtedness.
(iv) Partial Foreclosure. Sale of a part of the Mortgaged Property shall not exhaust the power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time until the Indebtedness is paid and the Obligations are performed and discharged in full. It is intended by each of the foregoing provisions of this subsection that Trustee may, after any request or direction by Lender, sell not only the Land and the Improvements, but also the Fixtures and Personalty and other interests constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, along with the Land and the Improvements or any part thereof, as a unit and as a part of a single sale, or may sell at any time or from time to time any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property separately from the remainder of the Mortgaged Property. It shall not be necessary to have present or to exhibit at any sale any of the Mortgaged Property.
(v) Trustee’s Deeds. After any sale under this subsection, Trustee shall make good and sufficient deeds, assignments, and other conveyances to the purchaser or purchasers thereunder in the name of Borrower, conveying the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof so sold to the purchaser or purchasers with general warranty of title by Borrower. It is agreed that in any deeds, assignments or other conveyances given by Trustee, any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made as to the identity of Xxxxxx, the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the notice of intention to accelerate, or acceleration of, the maturity of the Indebtedness, the request to sell, notice of sale, time, place, terms and manner of sale, and receipt, distribution, and application of the money realized therefrom, the due and proper appointment of a substitute Trustee, and without being limited by the foregoing, any other act or thing having been duly done by or on behalf of Lender or by or on behalf of Trustee, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that such statements or recitals state true, correct, and complete facts and are without further question to be so accepted, and Borrower does hereby ratify and confirm any and all acts that Trustee may lawfully do in the premises by virtue hereof.
(e) Xxxxxx’s Judicial Remedies. Lender, or Trustee, upon written request of Lender, may proceed by suit or suits, at law or in equity, to enforce the payment of the Indebtedness and the performance and discharge of the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, of the Note, and the other Loan Documents, to foreclose the liens and security interests of this Lien Instrument as against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and to have all or any part of the Mortgaged Property sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. This remedy shall be cumulative of any other nonjudicial remedies available to Lender with respect to the Loan Documents. Proceeding with a request or receiving a judgment for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an election of remedies or bar any available nonjudicial remedy of Lender.
DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FINANCING STATEMENT – Page 11 |
(f) Xxxxxx’s Right to Appointment of Receiver. Lender, as a matter of right and without regard to the sufficiency of the security for repayment of the Indebtedness and performance and discharge of the Obligations, without notice to Borrower and without any showing of insolvency, fraud, or mismanagement on the part of Borrower, and without the necessity of filing any judicial or other proceeding other than the proceeding for appointment of a receiver, shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and of the Rents, and Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the appointment of a receiver or receivers. Any receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of this subsection shall have the usual powers and duties of receivers in such matters.
(g) Lender’s Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Lender may exercise its rights of enforcement with respect to Fixtures and Personalty under the Code, and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for the rights and remedies under the Code Lender may and Borrower agrees as follows:
(i) without demand or notice to Borrower, enter upon the Mortgaged Property to take possession of, assemble, receive, and collect the Personalty, or any part thereof, or to render it unusable; and
(ii) Lender may require Borrower to assemble the Personalty and make it available at a place Lender designates which is mutually convenient to allow Lender to take possession or dispose of the Personalty; and
(iii) written notice mailed to Borrower as provided herein at least ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of the Personalty or prior to the date after which private sale of the Personalty will be made shall constitute reasonable notice; and
(iv) any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this subsection shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with the sale of the other Mortgaged Property under power of sale as provided herein upon giving the same notice with respect to the sale of the Personalty hereunder as is required for such sale of the other Mortgaged Property under power of sale, and such sale shall be deemed to be pursuant to a security agreement covering both real and personal property under Section 9.604(a) of the Code; and
(v) in the event of a foreclosure sale, whether made by the Trustee under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court, the Personalty and the other Mortgaged Property may, at the option of Lender, be sold as a whole; and
(vi) it shall not be necessary that Lender take possession of the Personalty, or any part thereof, prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this subsection is conducted, and it shall not be necessary that the Personalty or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale; and
(vii) prior to application of proceeds of disposition of the Personalty to the Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be applied to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like, and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Xxxxxx; and
DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FINANCING STATEMENT – Page 12 |
(viii) after notification, if any, hereafter provided in this subsection, Lender may sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Personalty, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery. Upon the request of Xxxxxx, Borrower shall assemble the Personalty and make it available to Lender at any place designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to Borrower and Lender. Xxxxxxxx agrees that Lender shall not be obligated to give more than ten (10) days’ written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notice of such matters. Borrower shall be liable for all expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, or the like, and all attorneys’ fees, legal expenses, and all other costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the Indebtedness and the enforcement of Xxxxxx’s rights under the Loan Documents. Lender shall apply the proceeds of the sale of the Personalty against the Indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4 of this Lien Instrument. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Personalty are insufficient to pay the Indebtedness in full. Borrower waives all rights of marshalling in respect of the Personalty; and
(ix) any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder, the nonpayment of the Indebtedness, the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender having declared all or a portion of such Indebtedness to be due and payable, the notice of time, place, and terms of sale and of the properties to be sold having been duly given, or any other act or thing having been duly done by Xxxxxx, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited; and
(x) Lender may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Xxxxxx, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of Lender.
(h) Rights Relating to Rents. Borrower has, pursuant to Section 9.1 of this Lien Instrument, assigned to Lender all Rents under each of the Leases covering all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. Xxxxxx, or Trustee on Xxxxxx’s behalf, may at any time, and without notice, either in person, by agent, or by receiver to be appointed by a court, enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and in its own name, sue for or otherwise collect the Rents in accordance with the Texas Assignment of Rents Act. Lender may (in its sole discretion), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, deliver a Rent Demand to Borrower or deliver a Notice of Enforcement to all or any of the Lessees. Xxxxxxxx agrees that pursuant to Section 64.002(a)(3) of the Texas Assignment of Rents Act, any Rent Demand sent by Xxxxxx may be sent to Borrower pursuant to the notice provisions set forth in the Loan Agreement. As described in Section 64.060 of the Texas Assignment of Rents Act, Borrower shall, within ten days after its receipt of a Rent Demand, deliver to Lender such Rents as are described in the Rent Demand. All Rents collected by Xxxxxx, or Trustee acting on Lender’s behalf, shall be applied as provided for in Section 9.3; provided, however, that if the costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees shall exceed the amount of Rents collected, the excess shall be added to the Indebtedness, shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate, and shall be immediately due and payable. The entrance upon and possession of the Mortgaged Property, the collection of Rents, and the application thereof as set forth above shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default, if any, hereunder nor invalidate any action pursuant to such notice. Failure or discontinuance by Xxxxxx, or Trustee on Xxxxxx’s behalf, at any time or from time to time, to collect said Rents shall not in any manner impair the subsequent enforcement by Xxxxxx, or Trustee on Xxxxxx’s behalf, of the right, power, and authority herein conferred upon it. Nothing contained herein, nor the exercise of any right, power, or authority herein granted to Lender, or Trustee on Lender’s behalf, shall be, or shall be construed to be, an affirmation by it of any tenancy, lease, or option, nor an assumption of liability under, nor the subordination of, the lien or charge of this Lien Instrument, to any such tenancy, lease, or option, nor an election of judicial relief, if any such relief is requested or obtained as to Leases or Rents, with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any collateral given by Borrower to Lender. In addition, from time to time, Lender may elect, and notice hereby is given to each Lessee of such right, to subordinate the lien of this Lien Instrument to any Lease by unilaterally executing and recording an instrument of subordination, and upon such election, the lien of this Lien Instrument shall be subordinate to the Lease identified in such instrument of subordination; provided, however, in each instance, such subordination will not affect or be applicable to (and will expressly exclude any) lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, claim, easement, restriction, option, covenant, and other rights, titles, interests, or estates of any nature regarding all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property to the extent that the same may have arisen or intervened during the period between the recordation of this Lien Instrument and the execution of the Lease identified in such instrument of subordination.
DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FINANCING STATEMENT – Page 13 |
(i) Other Rights. Lender (i) may surrender the insurance policies maintained pursuant to the Loan Agreement or any part thereof, and upon receipt shall apply the unearned premiums as a credit on the Indebtedness, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4 hereof, and, in connection therewith, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact (which is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) for Borrower to collect such premiums; and (ii) apply the reserve for all property taxes and other impositions and insurance premiums, if any, required by the provisions of this Lien Instrument, toward payment of the Indebtedness; and (iii) shall have and may exercise any and all other rights and remedies which Lender may have at law or in equity, or by virtue of any Loan Document or under the Code, or otherwise.
(j) Lender as Purchaser. Lender may be the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, at any sale thereof, whether such sale be under the power of sale herein vested in Trustee or upon any other foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereof, or otherwise, and Lender shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the Mortgaged Property so purchased, free of the liens and security interests hereof, unless the sale was made subject to an unmatured portion of the Indebtedness. Lender, as purchaser, shall be treated in the same manner as any third party purchaser and the proceeds of Lender’s purchase shall be applied in accordance with Section 7.4 of this Lien Instrument.
(k) Not Limited Remedies. The remedies specified above in this Section 7.1 are not intended to be limited or exclusive remedies but are rather in addition to other remedies available to Lender in accordance with applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, the exercise of any remedies by Lender pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall not be deemed to be an election in lieu of other nonjudicial or judicial remedies otherwise available to Lender.
7.2 Other Rights of Lender. Should any part of the Mortgaged Property come into the possession of Lender, whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender may (for itself or by or through other persons, firms, or entities) hold, lease, manage, use, or operate the Mortgaged Property for such time and upon such terms as Lender may deem prudent under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions, and improvements thereto and taking such other action as Lender may from time to time deem necessary or desirable) for the purpose of preserving the Mortgaged Property or its value, pursuant to the order of a court of appropriate jurisdiction or in accordance with any other rights held by Lender in respect of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower covenants to promptly reimburse and pay to Lender on demand, at the place where the Note is payable, the amount of all reasonable expenses (including without limitation the cost of any insurance, property taxes, impositions or other charges) incurred by Lender in connection with Xxxxxx’s custody, preservation, use, or operation of the Mortgaged Property, together with interest thereon from the date incurred by Xxxxxx at the Default Interest Rate; and all such expenses, costs, taxes, interest, and other charges shall be and become a part of the Indebtedness. It is agreed, however, that the risk of loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Mortgaged Property, for failure to obtain or maintain insurance, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to amount or as to the risks insured. Possession by Xxxxxx shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Mortgaged Property or collateral not in Lender’s possession.
DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FINANCING STATEMENT – Page 14 |
7.3 Possession After Foreclosure. If the liens or security interests hereof shall be foreclosed by power of sale granted herein, by judicial action, or otherwise, the purchaser at any such sale shall receive, as an incident to purchaser’s ownership, immediate possession of the property purchased, and if Borrower or Xxxxxxxx’s successors shall hold possession of said property or any part thereof subsequent to foreclosure, Borrower and Xxxxxxxx’s successors shall be considered as tenants at sufferance of the purchaser at foreclosure sale (without limitation of other rights or remedies, at a reasonable rental per day, due and payable daily, based upon the value of the portion of the Mortgaged Property so occupied and sold to such purchaser), and anyone occupying such portion of the Mortgaged Property, after demand is made for possession thereof, shall be guilty of forcible detainer and shall be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law, and all damages by reason thereof are hereby expressly waived.
7.4 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from any sale, lease, or other disposition made pursuant to this Article VII, or the proceeds from the surrender of any insurance policies pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, or any Rents collected by Lender from the Mortgaged Property (following any application of such Rents in accordance with Section 9.3 hereof), or sums received pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof which Lender elects to apply to the Indebtedness in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement, or proceeds from insurance received pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof which Lender elects to apply to the Indebtedness in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement, shall be applied by Trustee, or by Xxxxxx, as the case may be, to the Indebtedness in the following order and priority: (i) to the payment of all expenses of advertising, selling, and conveying the Mortgaged Property or part thereof, and/or prosecuting or otherwise collecting Rents, proceeds, premiums, or other sums including reasonable attorneys’ fees and a reasonable fee or commission to Trustee, not to exceed five percent (5%) of the proceeds thereof or sums so received; (ii) to the remainder of the Indebtedness as follows: first, to the remaining accrued but unpaid interest, second, to the matured portion of principal of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of maturity, and third, to prepayment of the unmatured portion, if any, of principal of the Indebtedness applied to installments of principal in inverse order of maturity; (iii) the balance, if any and to the extent applicable, remaining after the full and final payment of the Indebtedness and full performance and discharge of the Obligations to the holder or Lender of any inferior liens covering the Mortgaged Property, if any, in order of the priority of such inferior liens (Trustee and Lender shall hereby be entitled to rely exclusively upon a commitment for title insurance issued to determine such priority); and (iv) the cash balance, if any, to Borrower. The application of proceeds of sale or other proceeds as otherwise provided herein shall be deemed to be a payment of the Indebtedness like any other payment. The balance of the Indebtedness remaining unpaid, if any, shall remain fully due and owing in accordance with the terms of the Note or the other Loan Documents.
7.5 Abandonment of Sale. In the event a foreclosure hereunder is commenced by Trustee in accordance with Subsection 7.1(d) hereof, at any time before the sale, Trustee may abandon the sale, and Lender may then institute suit for the collection of the Indebtedness and for the foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereof and of the Loan Documents. If Xxxxxx should institute a suit for the collection of the Indebtedness and for a foreclosure of the liens and security interests, Lender may, at any time before the entry of a final judgment in said suit, dismiss the same and require Trustee to sell the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Lien Instrument.
DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FINANCING STATEMENT – Page 15 |
7.6 Payment of Fees. If the Note or any other part of the Indebtedness shall be collected or if any of the Obligations shall be enforced by legal proceedings, whether through a probate or bankruptcy court or otherwise, or shall be placed in the hands of an attorney for collection after maturity, whether matured by the expiration of time or by an option given to Lender to mature same, or if Lender becomes a party to any suit where this Lien Instrument or the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof is involved, Borrower agrees to pay Xxxxxx’s attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred, and such fees shall be and become a part of the Indebtedness and shall bear interest from the date such costs are incurred at the Default Interest Rate.
7.7 Miscellaneous.
(a) Discontinuance of Remedies. In case Lender shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy, or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon same for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such event, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property or otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if same had never been invoked.
(b) Other Remedies. In addition to the remedies set forth in this Article, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender and Trustee shall, in addition, have all other remedies available to them at law or in equity.
(c) Remedies Cumulative; Non-Exclusive; Etc. All rights, remedies, and recourses of Lender granted in the Note, this Lien Instrument, the other Loan Documents, any other pledge of collateral, or otherwise available at law or equity: (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (ii) may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently against Borrower, the Mortgaged Property, or any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Lender; (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Borrower that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse; (iv) shall be nonexclusive; (v) shall not be conditioned upon Lender exercising or pursuing any remedy in relation to the Mortgaged Property prior to Lender bringing suit to recover the Indebtedness or suit on the Obligations; and (vi) in the event Lender elects to bring suit on the Indebtedness and/or the Obligations and obtains a judgment against Borrower prior to exercising any remedies in relation to the Mortgaged Property, all liens and security interests, including the lien of this Lien Instrument, shall remain in full force and effect and may be exercised at Lender’s option.
(d) Partial Release; Etc. Lender may release, regardless of consideration, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating, or releasing the lien or security interests evidenced by this Lien Instrument or the other Loan Documents or affecting the obligations of Borrower or any other party to pay the Indebtedness or perform and discharge the Obligations. For payment of the Indebtedness, Lender may resort to any of the collateral therefor in such order and manner as Lender may elect. No collateral heretofore, herewith, or hereafter taken by Lender shall in any manner impair or affect the collateral given pursuant to the Loan Documents, and all collateral shall be taken, considered, and held as cumulative.
DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FINANCING STATEMENT – Page 16 |
(e) Waiver and Release by Xxxxxxxx. Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases: (i) all benefits that might accrue to Borrower by virtue of any present or future law exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption, or extension of time for payment; (ii) all notices of any Event of Default or of Trustee’s exercise of any right, remedy, or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents; and (iii) any right to a marshaling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.
(f) No Implied Covenants. Borrower and Xxxxxx mutually agree that there are no, nor shall there be any, implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing or other similar covenants or agreements in this Lien Instrument and the other Loan Documents. All agreed contractual duties are set forth in this Lien Instrument, the Note, and the other Loan Documents.
(g) Real Property Laws Govern. Except to the extent elected otherwise by Lender pursuant to Section 7.1(g) hereinabove with respect to particular items of Fixtures or Personalty, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.604 of the Code, the remedies in this Article VII are available under and governed by the real property laws of Texas and are not governed by the personal property laws of Texas (including, without limitation, personal property laws governing the disposal of personal property in a commercially reasonably manner under Section 9.627 of the Code or the application of proceeds under Section 9.615 of the Code). Unless specifically elected otherwise by Xxxxxx pursuant to Section 7.1(g) above as to particular items of Fixtures or Personalty, no action by Lender taken pursuant to this Article VII shall be deemed to be an acceptance of collateral in satisfaction of obligations under Section 9.620 of the Code.
7.8 Waiver of Any Deficiency Limitation. Xxxxxxxx agrees that Xxxxxx shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Borrower and any other party obligated on the Indebtedness equal to the difference between the amount owing on the Indebtedness and the amount for which the Mortgaged Property was sold pursuant to judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Borrower expressly recognizes that, to the extent allowed by law, this Section 7.8 constitutes a waiver of any statutory limitation or procedural requirements with respect to any such deficiency including, without limitation, any statutory or other legal requirement, if any, that Borrower be entitled to a judicial determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale. Xxxxxxxx further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates an irrebuttable presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property for purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Xxxxxxxx, Pledgor and others against whom recovery of the deficiency is sought.
7.9 Waiver of Deficiency Statute.
(a) Waiver. In the event an interest in any of the Mortgaged Property is foreclosed upon pursuant to a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale, Xxxxxxxx agrees as follows: notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 51.003, 51.004, and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as the same may be amended from time to time), and to the extent permitted by law, Xxxxxxxx agrees that Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Borrower and any other party obligated on the Note equal to the difference between the amount owing on the Note and the amount for which the Mortgaged Property was sold pursuant to judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Borrower expressly recognizes that this section constitutes a waiver of the above-cited provisions of the Texas Property Code which would otherwise permit Borrower and other persons against whom recovery of deficiencies is sought (even absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale and offset against any deficiency the amount by which the foreclosure sale price is determined to be less than such fair market value. Xxxxxxxx further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates an irrebuttable presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property for purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Xxxxxxxx and others against whom recovery of a deficiency is sought.
DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FINANCING STATEMENT – Page 17 |
(b) Alternative to Waiver. Alternatively, in the event the waiver provided for in subsection (a) above is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the following shall be the basis for the finder of fact’s determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings governed by Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as amended from time to time): (i) the Mortgaged Property shall be valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, 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; (ii) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Mortgaged Property for cash promptly (but no later than 12 months) following the foreclosure sale; (iii) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance, a survey of the Mortgaged Property, tax prorations, attorneys’ fees, and marketing costs; (iv) the gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property shall be further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Mortgaged Property pending sale, including, without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, taxes and assessments (to the extent not accounted for in (iii) above), and other maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (v) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property must be given by persons having at least five (5) 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.
ARTICLE VIII
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
8.1 Condemnation Proceeds. Lender shall be entitled to receive any and all sums which may be awarded and become payable to Borrower for condemnation of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, for public or quasi-public use, or by virtue of private sale in lieu thereof, and any sums which may be awarded or become payable to Borrower for damages caused by public works or construction on or near the Mortgaged Property. All such sums are hereby assigned to Lender, and Borrower shall, upon request of Xxxxxx, make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all additional assignments and documents as may be necessary from time to time to enable Lender to collect and receipt for any such sums. Lender shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect, or exercise diligence in the collection of, any of such sums. Any sums received by Xxxxxx as a result of condemnation shall be applied or disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
8.2 Insurance Proceeds. The proceeds of any and all insurance upon the Mortgaged Property shall be collected by Lender to be applied or disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
ARTICLE IX
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS
9.1 Present Assignment. Borrower hereby presently and unconditionally GRANTS, BARGAINS, CONVEYS, ASSIGNS, TRANSFERS, and SETS OVER, unto Trustee and Lender, a security interest in, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in the Rents, whether now owned by Borrower or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence, as security for the repayment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, and to provide a source of future payment of the Indebtedness, it being the intention of Borrower and Lender that this conveyance be unconditionally, presently, and immediately effective.
DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FINANCING STATEMENT – Page 18 |
9.2 Collection of Rents. Subject to the terms and provisions of Section 7.1(h), Borrower may exercise and enjoy all incidences of the status of a lessor with respect to the Rents, including, without limitation, the right to collect, demand, sue for, attach, levy, recover, and receive the Rents, and to give proper receipts, releases, and acquittances therefor. Borrower shall receive all Rents and will apply the Rents so collected first to the payment of the Indebtedness, next to the performance and discharge of the Obligations, and next to the payment of operating expenses for the Mortgaged Property. Thereafter, Borrower may use the balance of the Rents collected in any manner consistent with the Loan Documents. Neither this assignment nor the receipt of Rents by Xxxxxx (except to the extent, if any, that Xxxxxx actually receives and applies such Rents to the Indebtedness at its election) shall effect a pro tanto payment of the Indebtedness. Rents actually received by Lender shall be applied by Xxxxxx as provided in Section 9.3. Lender shall not be deemed to have received Rents or to have applied Rents to the Indebtedness until the money is actually received by Lender at its principal office specified on page one hereof, or at such other place as Lender shall designate in writing. Lender shall not apply Rents to the Indebtedness after foreclosure or any other transfer of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property to Lender or any third party.
9.3 Reliance Upon Notice of Enforcement. All Notices of Enforcement shall be delivered to Lessees in accordance with the Texas Assignment of Rents Act. Upon receipt from Lender of a Notice of Enforcement, each Lessee is authorized and directed to pay directly to Lender all Rents thereafter accruing, and the receipt of Rents by Lender shall be a release of such Lessee to the extent of all amounts so paid. The receipt by a Lessee of a Notice of Enforcement shall be sufficient authorization for such Lessee to make all future payments of Rents directly to Lender and each such Lessee shall be entitled to rely on the Notice of Enforcement and shall have no liability to Borrower for any Rents paid to Lender after receipt of the Notice of Enforcement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 64.058 of the Texas Assignment of Rents Act, Xxxxxxxx agrees that Rents so received by Lender for any period prior to foreclosure under this Lien Instrument or acceptance of a deed in lieu of such foreclosure may be applied by Lender to the payment of the following (in such order and priority as Lender shall determine): (a) all operating expenses for the Mortgaged Property; (b) all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Mortgaged Property and/or collecting Rent as it becomes due and payable; and (c) the Indebtedness. The Indebtedness will not be reduced under this Section 9.3 except to the extent, if any, that Lender actually receives and applies any Rents to the Indebtedness, it being recognized that there is no obligation by Lender to do so. Borrower further acknowledges that Lender shall have no obligation to apply any Rents received by Lender toward the expenses of protecting or maintaining the Mortgaged Property. Without impairing its rights hereunder, Lender may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, release to Borrower any Rents so received by Xxxxxx. As between Xxxxxxxx and Lender, and any Person claiming through or under Borrower, other than any Lessee who has not received a Notice of Enforcement, this assignment is intended to be unconditionally, presently, and immediately effective. The Notice of Enforcement is intended solely for the benefit of the Lessees and shall never inure to the benefit of Borrower or any Person claiming through or under Borrower, other than a Lessee who has not received such Notice of Enforcement. It shall never be necessary for Lender to institute legal proceedings of any kind whatsoever to enforce the provisions of this Lien Instrument with respect to Rents. XXXXXXXX SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT OR CLAIM AGAINST ANY LESSEE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY RENTS TO LENDER HEREUNDER AND BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD FREE AND HARMLESS EACH LESSEE FROM AND AGAINST ALL LIABILITY, LOSS, COST, DAMAGE, OR EXPENSE SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY SUCH LESSEE BY REASON OF SUCH XXXXXX’S COMPLIANCE WITH ANY NOTICE OF ENFORCEMENT.

9.4 Collection of Rent. At any time during which Borrower is receiving Rents directly from any of the Lessees, Borrower shall, upon receipt of written direction from Xxxxxx, make demand and/or sue for all Rents due and payable under one or more Leases, as directed by Xxxxxx, as it becomes due and payable, including Rents that are past due and unpaid. If Xxxxxxxx fails to take such action, or at any time during which Borrower is not receiving Rents directly from Lessees, Lender may, without obligation, demand, collect, and sue for, in its own name or in the name of Borrower, all Rents due and payable under the Leases, as they become due and payable, including Rents that are past due and unpaid.

10.1 Security Interest. This Lien Instrument (i) shall be construed as a deed of trust on real property, and (ii) shall also constitute and serve as a “Security Agreement” on personal property within the meaning of the Code until the grant of this Lien Instrument shall terminate as provided in Section 12.1 hereof. Borrower shall cause the security interest granted hereby to continuously be a first and prior security interest under the Code (subject only to the applicable Permitted Exceptions) as to property within the scope thereof and in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Contracts, Rents and Leases. To this end, Xxxxxxxx has GRANTED, BARGAINED, CONVEYED, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, and SET OVER, and by these presents does GRANT, BARGAIN, CONVEY, ASSIGN, TRANSFER and SET OVER, unto Trustee and Lender, a first and prior security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to, under and with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Contracts, Rents and Leases to secure the full and timely payment of the Indebtedness and the full and timely performance and discharge of the Obligations.

Borrower hereby agrees with Lender to authenticate and deliver to Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, such “Financing Statements” and such further assurances as Lender may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Xxxxxx’s security interest herein granted and the priority thereof, and Lender may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect, and preserve such security interest and the priority thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower hereby specifically authorizes Lender to prepare, file of record or otherwise effectuate new financing statements, financing statement amendments and financing statement continuations which describe all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property as collateral thereunder and Borrower specifically agrees that Lender may cause same to be filed without any signature of a representative of the Borrower appearing thereon where such filings are permitted by applicable law.
10.3 Fixture Filing. This Lien Instrument shall also constitute a “fixture filing” for the purposes of the Code. All or part of the Mortgaged Property are or are to become fixtures; information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties hereto at the addresses set forth on the first page hereof. For purposes of the security interest herein granted, the address of Debtor (Borrower) and the address of the Secured Party (Lender) is set forth in the first paragraph of this Lien Instrument.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
11.1 No Required Action. Trustee shall not be required to take any action toward the execution and enforcement of the trust hereby created or to institute, appear in, or defend any action, suit, or other proceeding in connection therewith where, in Trustee’s opinion, such action would be likely to involve Trustee in expense or liability, unless requested so to do by a written instrument signed by Xxxxxx and, if Trustee so requests, unless Trustee is tendered security and indemnity satisfactory to Trustee against any and all cost, expense, and liability arising therefrom. Trustee shall not be responsible for the execution, acknowledgment, or validity of the Loan Documents, or for the proper authorization thereof, or for the sufficiency of the lien and security interest purported to be created hereby, and Trustee makes no representation in respect thereof or in respect of the rights, remedies, and recourses of Lender.
11.2 Certain Rights. With the approval of Xxxxxx, Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to select, employ, and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Xxxxxx) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution, and interpretation of the Loan Documents, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through Trustee’s agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about the execution of Trustee’s duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee, and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or bad faith, and (iv) any and all other lawful action as Lender may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Xxxxxx’s rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Mortgaged Property for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Mortgaged Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred by Xxxxxxx in the performance of Xxxxxxx’s duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of Trustee’s services hereunder as shall be rendered. Borrower will, from time to time, pay the compensation due to Trustee hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and save Trustee harmless against, any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by Trustee in the performance of Xxxxxxx’s duties.
11.3 Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by applicable law) and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder.
11.4 Successor Trustees. Trustee may resign by the giving of notice of such resignation in writing or verbally to Xxxxxx. If Trustee shall die, resign, or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust, or if, for any reason, Xxxxxx shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee or multiple substitute trustees, or successive substitute trustees or successive multiple substitute trustees, to act instead of the aforenamed Trustee, Lender shall have full power to appoint a substitute trustee (or, if preferred, multiple substitute trustees) in succession who shall succeed (and if multiple substitute trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute trustees shall succeed) to all the estates, rights, powers, and duties of the aforenamed Trustee. Such appointment may be executed by any authorized agent of Lender, and if such Lender be a corporation and such appointment be executed in its behalf by any officer of such corporation, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation. Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the aforenamed Trustee, or his successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. If multiple substitute Trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute Trustees shall be empowered and authorized to act alone without the necessity of the joinder of the other multiple substitute trustees, whenever any action or undertaking of such substitute trustees is requested or required under or pursuant to this Lien Instrument or applicable law.

11.5 Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any nature be required from Borrower by any Trustee or substitute Trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to the Trustee or substitute Trustee such estates, rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by the Trustee or substitute Trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Borrower.
11.6 Succession Instruments. Any substitute Trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Lender or of the substitute Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute Trustee so appointed in the Trustee’s place.
11.7 No Representation by Trustee or Lender. By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, or fulfilled or to be given to Trustee or Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, neither Trustee nor Lender shall be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness, or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision, or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Trustee or Lender.

If the Indebtedness is paid in full in accordance with the terms of this Lien Instrument, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, and if Borrower shall well and truly perform each and every one of the Obligations to be performed and discharged in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, then this conveyance shall become null and void and be released at Borrower’s request and expense, and Lender shall have no further obligation to make advances under and pursuant to the provisions hereof or in the other Loan Documents; provided, however, if at any time any such repayment of all or any part of the Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, this conveyance shall be deemed reinstated as though such rescinded, restored or returned payment had been due but not made at such time.

The Loan Documents are intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable legal requirements.
