     This Deed of Trust is given to secure the payment and performance of the following described

unless extended as provided in the Credit Agreement; and (ii) each other note as may be issued

(collectively, the “Note”); provided, however, in no event shall the maximum aggregate principal
amount of indebtedness under the Note exceed Two Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars
($200,000,000.00);




          (b) The payment, performance and discharge of each and every obligation, covenant and
agreement of Grantor contained herein or of Grantor and the other Guarantors in the Guaranty, of
Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement, and of Grantor and Borrower in the other Loan Documents
including, without limitation, the obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for any draws
under the Letters of Credit, and in the other Loan Documents;




          (c) The full and prompt payment and performance of all of the provisions, agreements,
covenants and obligations contained in the Credit Agreement;




4









 








          (d) The full and prompt payment and performance of all of the provisions, agreements,
covenants and obligations of Borrower herein contained and contained in any other agreements,
documents or instruments now or hereafter evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note (the Note, this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement and such
other agreements, documents and instruments, together with any and all renewals, amendments,
extensions and modifications thereof, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan
Documents”), and the payment of all other sums therein covenanted to be paid;




          (e) Any and all additional advances made by Lender to protect or preserve the Property or the
lien and security interest created hereby on the Property, or for taxes, assessments or insurance
premiums as hereinafter provided or for performance of any of Grantor’s obligations hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents or Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement or under the
other Loan Documents or for any other purpose provided herein or in the other Loan Documents
(whether or not the original Grantor remains the owner of the Property at the time of such
advances); and




          (f) Any and all future advances under any of the Loan Documents, whether such advances are
obligatory or are to be made at the option of Lender or otherwise, as are made within twenty (20)
years from the date of this Deed of Trust, to the same extent as if such future advances were made
on the date of the execution of this Deed of Trust.




     PROVIDED, ALWAYS, and it is the true intent and meaning of the parties to these presents, that
when Borrower and Grantor, their respective successors or assigns, shall pay or cause to be paid to
Lender, its successors or assigns, the Secured Obligations according to the conditions and
agreements of the Note and of this Deed of Trust, and shall perform all of the obligations
according to the true intent and meaning of the Note and of this Deed of Trust and the conditions
thereunder and hereunder, then this conveyance of the Property shall become of no further force and
effect, and the lien and security interest hereof shall be released of record at Grantor’s request
and at Grantor’s cost and expense.



     Grantor hereby further covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:



     1. Payment and Performance of Secured Obligations. Grantor shall promptly pay or
cause to be paid the Secured Obligations when due, and fully and promptly perform or cause to be
performed all of the provisions, agreements, covenants and obligations of the Secured Obligations.



     2. Funds for Impositions. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, Grantor shall pay to Lender, subject to Lender’s option under Paragraph 3 hereof, on
the days that monthly installments of interest are payable under the Note, until the Note is paid
in full, a sum (hereinafter referred to as the “Funds”) reasonably estimated by Agent to provide an
amount necessary for payment of the following items in full thirty (30) days prior to when such
items become due (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Impositions”): (a) the yearly real
estate taxes, ad valorem taxes, personal property taxes, assessments and betterments, and (b) the
yearly premium installments for the insurance covering the Property and required by Lender pursuant
to Paragraph 4 hereof. The Impositions shall be reasonably estimated initially and from time to
time by Lender on the basis of assessments and bills and estimates thereof. The



5









 




Funds shall be held by Lender in a separate account free of any liens or claims on the part of
creditors of Grantor and as part of the security for the Secured Obligations. Grantor shall pay
all Impositions prior to delinquency as required by Paragraph 3 hereof. Provided no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, within ten (10) days after Grantor furnishes Lender with
reasonably satisfactory evidence that Grantor has paid one or more of the items comprising the
Impositions, Lender shall reimburse Grantor therefor to the extent of the Funds (plus accrued
interest) then held by Lender. Alternatively, Lender shall apply the Funds to pay the Impositions
with respect to which the Funds were paid to the extent of the Funds then held by Lender and
provided Grantor has delivered to Lender the assessments or bills therefor. Grantor shall be
permitted to pay any Imposition early in order to take advantage of any available discounts.
Lender shall make no charge for so holding and applying the Funds or for verifying and compiling
said assessments and bills. The Funds are pledged as additional security for the Secured
Obligations, and may be applied, at Lender’s option and without notice to Grantor, to the payment
of the Secured Obligations upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and acceleration of the Note
hereunder. If at any time the amount of the Funds held by Lender shall be less than the amount
reasonably deemed necessary by Lender to pay Impositions as such become due, Grantor shall pay to
Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within fifteen (15) Business Days after
notice from Lender to Grantor requesting payment thereof. Upon payment in full of the Secured
Obligations, Lender shall promptly refund to Grantor any Funds held by Lender.




     3. Impositions, Liens and Charges. Grantor shall pay all Impositions and other
charges, if any, attributable to the Property prior to delinquency, and at Lender’s option, shall
pay in the manner provided under Paragraph 2 hereof. Grantor shall furnish to Lender all bills and
notices of amounts due under this Paragraph 3 as soon as received, and in the event Grantor shall
make payment directly, Grantor shall, as and when available, furnish to Lender receipts evidencing
such payments prior to the dates on which such payments are delinquent, subject to Grantor’s right
to contest taxes, assessments and other governmental charges as provided in the Credit Agreement.
Grantor shall promptly discharge (by bonding, payment or otherwise) any lien filed against the
Property or Grantor (including federal tax liens) and will keep and maintain the Property free from
the claims of all persons supplying labor or materials to the Property, subject to Grantor’s right
to contest the same as provided in the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall not claim or be entitled to
any credit against the taxable value of the Property by reason of this Deed of Trust, or any
deduction in or credit on the Secured Obligations by reason of Impositions paid.



     4. Property and Other Insurance. Grantor shall, at its expense, procure and maintain
or caused to be procured or maintained, for the benefit of Grantor and Lender, insurance policies
issued by such insurance companies, in such amounts, in such form and substance, and with such
coverages, endorsements, deductibles, and expiration dates, providing the types of insurance set
forth in the Credit Agreement, as may be required by the Credit Agreement.



     5. Preservation and Maintenance. Grantor (a) shall not permit or commit waste,
impairment, or deterioration of the Property or abandon or discontinue operations on the Property,
(b) shall restore or repair promptly (following adjustment of any claims for an insured casualty
loss, if applicable) and in a good and workmanlike manner all or any part of the Property in the
event of any damage, injury or loss thereto, to the substantial equivalent of its



6









 




condition prior to such damage, injury or loss, or such other condition as Lender may approve
in writing, provided that Lender shall release net insurance proceeds, to the extent actually
received by Lender, to Grantor (provided, however, the insufficiency of such proceeds shall not
relieve Grantor of its obligations to restore hereunder), (c) shall keep the Property, including
the Improvements and the Personal Property, in first class order, repair and tenantable condition
and shall replace fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances on the Property when necessary to
keep such items in first class order, repair, and tenantable condition, (d) subject to Grantor’s
right to contest the same as provided in this Deed of Trust, shall comply with all laws,
ordinances, regulations and requirements of any governmental body applicable to the Property, and
(e) shall keep all franchises, trademarks, trade names, service marks and licenses and permits
necessary for the use and occupancy of the Property in good standing and in full force and effect.
Grantor covenants and agrees to give Lender prompt notice of any non-compliance with such laws,
ordinances, regulations or requirements and of any notice of non-compliance therewith which it
receives or any threatened or pending proceedings in respect thereto or with respect to the
Property (including, without limitation, changes in zoning). Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Paragraph 5, Grantor at its own expense after written notice to Lender may contest the
applicability or enforcement of such laws, ordinances, regulations or requirements by an
appropriate proceeding conducted in good faith and with due diligence, provided that such
non-compliance will not result in any lien, charge, fine or other liability against the Property or
Grantor and such non-compliance will not place the Property or any part thereof in any danger of
being forfeited, lost or closed. Neither Grantor nor any tenant or other person shall remove,
demolish or alter any Improvements now existing or hereafter erected on the Property or any
Personal Property in or on the Property except when incident to the replacement of Personal
Property with items of like kind and value or customary tenant improvements pursuant to Leases
approved or deemed approved pursuant to the Credit Agreement.




     6. Transfers. Except as may be expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, (a) if
Grantor shall, directly, indirectly or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of
Lender in each instance, (i) sell, convey, assign, transfer, lease, option, mortgage, pledge,
hypothecate or dispose of the Property, or any part thereof or interest therein, except as
expressly permitted by the terms of this Deed of Trust or the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create or
suffer to be created or to exist any lien, encumbrance, security interest, mortgage, pledge,
restriction, attachment or other charge of any kind upon the Property, or any part thereof or
interest therein, except for Permitted Encumbrances (subject to Grantor’s right to contest certain
liens to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement), or (b) if there shall occur, directly,
indirectly or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Lender in each instance,
any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, disposition, option, mortgage, hypothecation, pledge or
other encumbrance of any direct or indirect interest in Grantor, then, in either (a) or (b), an
Event of Default shall exist under this Deed of Trust.



     7. Hazardous Materials.



          (a) Environmental Indemnity. Grantor covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and
expense, to indemnify, defend (at trial and appellate levels and with attorneys, consultants and
experts acceptable to Lender) and hold each Lender, each of the Banks and each of their respective
parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents, and the
successors and assigns of any of them (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”

7









 








and individually an “Indemnified Party”) harmless against and from any and all liens, damages,
losses, liabilities, obligations, settlement payments, penalties, assessments, citations,
directives, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs,
disbursements or expenses of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and disbursements incurred in investigating,
defending against, settling or prosecuting any claim, litigation or proceeding) which may at any
time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against such Indemnified Party or the
Property and arising directly or indirectly from or out of: (A) the Release or threatened Release
of any Hazardous Materials on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property or
migrating from the Property to any surrounding areas, regardless of whether or not caused by or
within the control of Grantor or any other Obligor; (B) the existence of any Mold Condition on, in,
under or affecting all or any portion of the Property, regardless of whether or not caused by or
within the control of Grantor or any other Obligor; (C) the violation by Grantor of any
Environmental Laws relating to or affecting the Property of Grantor, whether or not caused by or
within the control of Grantor or any other Obligor; (D) the failure of Grantor to comply fully with
the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 7 or Sections 6.1(p) and 7.9 of the Credit Agreement;
(E) the violation of any Environmental Laws which gives or may give rise to any rights whatsoever
in any party with respect to the Property by virtue of any Environmental Laws; (F) the breach of
any representation or warranty contained in Section 6.1(p) of the Credit Agreement; or (G) the
enforcement of this Paragraph 7, including, without limitation, (i) the reasonable costs of
assessment, containment and/or removal of any and all Hazardous Materials from all or any portion
of the Property or any surrounding areas to which Hazardous Materials have migrated from the
Property, (ii) the costs of assessment, containment, abatement, remediation and/or removal of any
Mold Condition from all or any portion of the Property so that such Mold Condition no longer
exists, (iii) the reasonable costs of any actions taken in response to a Release or threatened
Release of any Hazardous Materials on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property or
any surrounding areas to which Hazardous Materials have migrated from the Property to prevent or
minimize such Release or threatened Release so that it does not migrate or otherwise cause or
threaten danger to present or future public health, safety, welfare or the environment, (iv) the
costs of any actions taken in response to any Mold Condition on, in, under or affecting all or any
portion of the Property to prevent or minimize such Mold Condition so that it does not migrate or
otherwise cause or threaten danger to present or future public health, safety, welfare or the
environment, and (v) reasonable costs incurred to comply with the Environmental Laws in connection
with all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas to which Hazardous Materials have
migrated from the Property; provided, however, nothing contained in this Paragraph 7 shall require
Grantor to indemnify any Indemnified Party from any matter, cost or expense to the extent such
matter, cost or expense arises or results solely from such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. GRANTOR AGREES THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY BY GRANTOR
SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH 7 INCLUDES INDEMNIFICATION IN THE EVENT OF ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OR
STRICT LIABILITY ON THE PART OF SUCH (AND/OR ANY OTHER) INDEMNIFIED PARTY BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE
INDEMNIFICATION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT. Grantor’s obligations hereunder are separate and distinct from Grantor’s obligations
under the other Loan Documents, and Lender’s and the other Indemnified Parties’ rights under this


8









 






 Agreement shall be in addition to all rights of Lender under the Note, the Credit Agreement,
the Guaranty and under any other documents or instruments evidencing, securing or relating to the
Secured Obligations, and payments by Grantor under this Paragraph 7 shall not reduce Grantor’s
obligations and liabilities, if any, under any of the other Loan Documents. Nothing herein shall
require Grantor to indemnify any Indemnified Party from any matter, cost or expense relating to a
Release or Threat of Release of Hazardous Substances or violation of any Environmental Law caused
by an Indemnified Party or first occurring after the Lender or its nominee acquires title to the
applicable Property by the exercise of its foreclosure remedies or by deed in lieu of foreclosure
or after repayment of the Loan (unless all or any portion of the Loan is reinstated because such
repayment is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned).




          (b) Survival, Assignability and Transferability.




               (i) Except as expressly provided in Paragraph 7(a) above, the indemnity set forth above in
subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 7 and any representations or warranties set forth in Section
6.1(p) of the Credit Agreement and incorporated herein by reference shall survive the payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations and any exercise by Lender of any remedies under this Deed
of Trust, including without limitation, the power of sale, or any other remedy in the nature of
foreclosure, and shall not merge with any deed given by Grantor to Lender in lieu of foreclosure or
any deed under a power of sale.



               (ii) It is agreed and intended by Grantor and Lender that the indemnity set forth above in
subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 7 and any representations or warranties set forth in Section
6.1(p) of the Credit Agreement and incorporated herein by reference may be assigned or otherwise
transferred by Lender to its successors and assigns in connection with an assignment of this Deed
of Trust and to any subsequent purchasers of all or any portion of the Property by, through or
under Lender, without notice to Grantor and without any further consent of Grantor. To the extent
consent to any such assignment or transfer is required by law, advance consent to any such
assignment or transfer is hereby given by Grantor in order to maximize the extent and effect of the
warranties, representations and indemnity given hereby.



     8. Protection of Lender’s Security. If Grantor fails to perform the covenants and
agreements contained in this Deed of Trust or (to the extent applicable to Grantor) the Credit
Agreement, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which affects the Property or title thereto
or the interest of Lender therein, including, but not limited to, eminent domain, insolvency, code
enforcement or arrangements or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then Lender at
Lender’s option, but without any duty or obligation of any sort to do so and without in any way
waiving or relieving any Default or Event of Default, may make such appearances, disburse such sums
and take such action as Lender reasonably deems necessary to protect Lender’s interest or cure such
Default or Event of Default, including, but not limited to, disbursement of reasonable attorneys’
fees, payment, contest or compromise of any lien or security interest which is prior to the lien or
security interest of this Deed of Trust, payment of insurance premiums, taxes, charges and
assessments and entry upon the Property to make repairs. Any reasonable amounts disbursed by
Lender pursuant to this Paragraph 8, with interest thereon, shall become a portion of the Secured
Obligations. Unless Grantor and Lender agree to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be
payable upon notice from Lender to Grantor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from
the date of disbursement at the Post-



9









 




Default Rate stated in the Credit Agreement unless collection from Grantor of interest at such
rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the
highest rate which may be collected from Grantor under applicable law. Grantor shall have the
right to prepay such amounts in whole or in part at any time. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 8
shall require Lender to incur any expense or do any act.




     9. Inspection. Lender may, at Grantor’s expense, during normal business hours make
or cause to be made reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property as permitted in the
Credit Agreement, or at any other time when necessary or appropriate, in the sole reasonable
discretion of Lender, to protect or preserve the Property.



     10. Grantor and Security Title Not Released. From time to time, without affecting any
obligation of Grantor or Grantor’s successors or assigns to pay the Secured Obligations and to
observe the covenants of Grantor contained in this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, and
without affecting the guaranty of any person, corporation, partnership or other entity for payment
or performance of the Secured Obligations, and without affecting the lien or security interest or
priority of lien or security interest of this Deed of Trust on the Property, Lender may, at
Lender’s option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Grantor or Grantor’s
successors or assigns or of any guarantor, and without liability on Lender’s part, grant extensions
or postponements of the time for payment of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, release
anyone liable on any of the Secured Obligations, accept a renewal note or notes therefor, release
from this Deed of Trust any part of the Property, take or release other or additional security,
reconvey any part of the Property, consent to any map or plat or subdivision of the Property,
consent to the granting of any easement, join in any extension or subordination agreement and agree
in writing with Borrower to modify the rate of interest or terms and time of payment or period of
amortization of the Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable thereunder.
Grantor shall pay Lender a reasonable service charge, together with such title insurance premiums
and reasonable attorneys’ fees as may be incurred, at Lender’s option, for any such action if taken
at Grantor’s request.



     11. Forbearance Not Waiver. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or
remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the
exercise of any right or remedy hereunder. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or
other liens or charges by Lender shall not be a waiver of Lender’s right to accelerate the maturity
of the Secured Obligations. Lender’s receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages under Paragraphs 4
and 9 hereof shall not operate to cure or waive any default in payment of the Secured Obligations
by any Obligor.



     12. Estoppel Certificates. Grantor shall within ten (10) Business Days of a written
request from Lender, but no more often than quarterly, furnish Lender with a written statement,
duly acknowledged, setting forth the amount of the Secured Obligations and any right of set-off,
counterclaim or other defense which may exist or be claimed by Grantor against the Secured
Obligations and the obligations of Grantor under this Deed of Trust.



     13. Security Agreement.



10









 





          (a) Insofar as any item of property included in the Property which is or might be deemed to be
“personal property” is concerned, this Deed of Trust is hereby made and declared to be, among other
things, a security agreement, granting a security interest to Lender in and to each and every item
of such property included in the Property (hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“Collateral”), in compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the
State of Texas. A financing statement or statements (whether or not reciting this Deed of Trust to
be a security agreement), covering all of the Collateral, shall be authorized by Grantor and
appropriately filed. The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the
security agreement herein contained shall be (i) as prescribed herein, or (ii) as prescribed by
general law, or (iii) as prescribed by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted
and specified in said Uniform Commercial Code, all at Lender’s sole election. Upon the occurrence
and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may require Grantor, at its expense, to assemble all
personal property which is a part of the Property, and with respect to which such request or demand
is made, and make the same available to Lender at a convenient place upon the Land (or within
Improvements upon the Land, as may be appropriate for the protection of such personal property)
acceptable to Lender. Any notice of sale, disposition or other action by Lender with respect to
personal property which is a part of the Property sent to Grantor in accordance with the provisions
hereof relating to communications at least ten (10) days prior to such action shall constitute
adequate and reasonable notice to Grantor of such action. Grantor and Lender agree that the filing
of such financing statement(s) in the records normally having to do with personal property shall
never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this declaration and hereby stated
intention of Grantor and Lender that everything used in connection with the production of income
from the Property and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this
Deed of Trust, is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings, both legal or
equitable, shall be, regarded as part of the real estate irrespective of whether (i) any such item
is physically attached to the Land or the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better
identification of certain items capable of being thus identified in a recital contained herein, or
(iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement(s) so filed at any
time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement(s) of the rights in and to the
proceeds of any hazard insurance policy, or any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or
for loss of value, or Grantor’s interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to
income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the Property, whether pursuant to lease or
otherwise, shall never be construed as in any way altering any of the rights of Lender as
determined by this instrument or impugning the priority of Lender’s lien granted hereby or by any
other recorded document, but such mention in such financing statement(s) is declared to be for the
protection of Lender in the event any court shall at any time hold, with respect to any such
matter, that notice of Lender’s priority of interest, to be effective against a particular class of
persons, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records. Grantor warrants that (i) Grantor’s
(that is, “Debtor’s”) name, identity or organizational structure and residence or principal place
of business are as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and by this reference made a part
hereof; (ii
) Grantor (that is, “Debtor”) has been using or operating under said name, identity or
organizational structure without change for the time period set forth in Exhibit C attached
hereto and by this reference made a part hereof; and (iii) the location of all collateral
constituting fixtures is upon the Land. Grantor covenants and agrees that Grantor will furnish
Lender with notice of any change in name, identity, organizational structure, residence or
principal place of business within thirty (30) days of the

11









 








effective date of any such change and Grantor will promptly upon request by Lender execute any
financing statements or other instruments deemed necessary by Lender to prevent any filed financing
statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status. The information contained in
this Paragraph 13 is provided in order that this Deed of Trust shall comply with the requirements
of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in the State of Texas, for instruments to be filed as
financing statements. This Deed of Trust shall be effective as and shall constitute a fixture
filing from the date of its filing for record in the Real Property Records of the county in which
the Land is located.




          (b) Lender may, at its election, at any time after delivery of this Deed of Trust, sign one or
more copies hereof in order that such copies may be used as a financing statement under said
Uniform Commercial Code. The signature of Lender may be placed between the last sentence of this
Deed of Trust and Grantor’s acknowledgment or may follow Grantor’s acknowledgment. Lender’s
signature need not be acknowledged and is not necessary to the effectiveness hereof as a deed of
trust, mortgage, assignment, pledge, security agreement or (unless otherwise required by applicable
law) as a financing statement. Lender is authorized to file in any jurisdiction where Lender deems
it necessary this Deed of Trust, a financing statement or statements and one or more continuation
statements, pursuant to said Uniform Commercial Code, in form satisfactory to Lender, and will pay
the cost of filing or recording any such instrument, in all public offices at any time and from
time to time whenever filing or recording of any financing statement, continuation statement or
this Deed of Trust is deemed by Lender to be necessary or desirable. Certain of the Property is or
will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in said Uniform Commercial Code) on the Property of
which Grantor is record owner (unless otherwise stated herein) and upon filing of this Deed of
Trust for record in the real estate records of the county wherein such fixtures are situated, it
shall operate also as a financing statement upon such of the Property which is or may become
fixtures.




          (c) The information contained in Exhibit C is provided in order that this Deed of
Trust shall comply with the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code for instruments to be filed
as financing statements. The names of “Debtor” and the “Secured Party”, the identity or
organizational structure, jurisdiction of organization, organizational number, federal tax
identification number and residence or chief executive office of “Debtor,” and the time period for
which “Debtor” has been using or operating under said name and identity or organizational structure
without change are as set forth in Part 1 of Exhibit C attached hereto and by this
reference made a part hereof; the mailing address of the “Secured Party” from which information
concerning the security interest may be obtained, and the mailing address of “Debtor,” are as set
forth in Part 1 and Part 2 of Exhibit C attached hereto. Exhibit C correctly sets
forth all names and tradenames that Grantor has used within the last five years and also correctly
sets forth the locations of all of the chief executive offices of Grantor over the last five years.




          (d) Grantor shall, at any time and from time to time, take such steps as Lender may reasonably
request for Lender (i) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Lender, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral, stating that the bailee holds
possession of such Collateral on behalf of Lender, (ii) to obtain “control” of any investment
property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, or electronic chattel paper (as such terms are
defined by the Uniform Commercial Code with corresponding provisions thereof defining what
constitutes “control” for such items of collateral), with any

12









 








agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender,
and (iii) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of the Lender’s security
interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein, whether in
anticipation of or following the effectiveness of the Uniform Commercial Code. If Grantor shall at
any time acquire a “commercial tort claim” (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code)
with respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof, Grantor shall promptly notify Lender thereof
in writing, providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and shall execute a supplement
to this Deed of Trust in form and substance acceptable to Lender granting a security interest in
such commercial tort claim to Lender.




          (e) Grantor hereby authorizes Lender, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from
time to time, to file financing statements, amendments and continuations that describe or relate to
the Collateral or any portion thereof in such jurisdictions as Lender may deem necessary or
desirable in order to perfect the security interests granted by Grantor under this Deed of Trust or
any other Loan Document, and such financing statements may contain, among other items as Lender may
deem advisable to include therein, the federal tax identification number of Grantor. Lender shall
upon request provide Grantor with copies of any and all such filings made by Lender.




          (f) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may require Grantor to assemble the
Collateral and make it available to Lender, at Grantor’s sole risk and expense, at a place or
places to be designated by Lender which are reasonably convenient to both Lender and Grantor.




     14. Leases and Revenues.



          (a) As part of the consideration for the Secured Obligations, Grantor has absolutely and
unconditionally assigned and transferred to Lender all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in
and to the Leases and the Revenues, including those now due, past due or to become due by virtue of
any of the Leases for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property. Grantor hereby
authorizes Lender or Lender’s agents to collect the Revenues and hereby directs such tenants,
lessees and licensees of the Property to pay the Revenues to Lender or Lender’s agents; provided,
however, that prior to written notice given by Lender to Grantor of any Event of Default, Grantor
shall have a license (revocable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to collect and receive
the Revenues as trustee for the benefit of Lender, and apply the Revenues so collected to the
Secured Obligations, to the extent then due and payable, then to the payment of normal and
customary operating expenses for the Property which are then due and payable, with the balance, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred, to the account of Grantor. Grantor agrees that each and
every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property shall pay, and hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property to pay, the Revenues to Lender
or Lender’s agents on Lender’s written demand therefor (which demand may be made by Lender at any
time after the occurrence of an Event of Default) without any obligation on the part of said
tenant, lessee or licensee to inquire as to the existence of an Event of Default and
notwithstanding any notice or claim of Grantor to the contrary, and Grantor agrees that Grantor
shall have no right or claim against said tenant, lessee or licensee for or by reason of any
Revenues paid to Lender following receipt of such written demand.




13









 








          (b) Grantor hereby covenants that Grantor has not executed any prior assignment of the Leases
or the Revenues, that Grantor has not performed, and will not perform, any acts and has not
executed, and will not execute, any instruments which would prevent Lender from exercising the
rights of holder under this Deed of Trust, and that at the time of execution of this Deed of Trust,
there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the Revenues for more than one (1) month
prior to the due dates of such Revenues. Grantor further covenants that Grantor will not hereafter
collect or accept payment of any Revenues more than one (1) month prior to the due dates of such
Revenues.




          (c) Grantor agrees that neither the foregoing assignment of Leases and Revenues nor the
exercise of any of Lender’s rights and remedies under Paragraph 19 of this Deed of Trust shall be
deemed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner
with respect to the Leases, the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or
any portion thereof, unless and until Lender, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession
thereof. Grantor further agrees that the appointment of any receiver for the Property by any court
at the request of Lender or by agreement with Grantor, or the entering into possession of any part
of the Property by such receiver, shall not be deemed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession or
otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Leases, the Property or the use,
occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof.




          (d) If Lender or a court-appointed receiver enters upon, takes possession of and maintains
control of the Property pursuant to Paragraph 19 of this Deed of Trust, all Revenues thereafter
collected shall be applied in such order as Lender may elect in its discretion against the
reasonable costs of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the Revenues,
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, receiver’s fees,
premiums on receiver’s bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies,
Impositions and other charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation or
liability of Grantor as landlord, lessor or licensor of the Property, or to the Secured
Obligations. Lender or the receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the
operation and maintenance of the Property and shall be liable to account only for those Revenues
actually received. Lender shall not be liable to Grantor, anyone claiming under or through Grantor
or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Lender
pursuant to Paragraph 19 of this Deed of Trust, except in the event of Lender’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. If the Revenues are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and
managing the Property and collecting the Revenues, any monies reasonably expended by Lender for
such purposes shall become a portion of the Secured Obligations. Unless Lender and Grantor agree
in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Lender to
Grantor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the
Post-Default Rate stated in the Credit Agreement unless payment of interest at such rate would be
contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate
which may be collected from Grantor under applicable law. The entering upon and taking possession
of and maintaining of control of the Property by Lender or the receiver pursuant to Paragraph 19 of
this Deed of Trust and the application of Revenues as provided herein shall not cure or waive any
Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender hereunder.




14









 








          (e) It is the intention of Lender and Grantor that the assignment effectuated by this Deed of
Trust with respect to the Revenues shall be a direct and currently effective assignment and shall
not constitute merely the granting of a lien, security interest or pledge for the purpose of
securing the Secured Obligations. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that, notwithstanding such expressed intent of the parties, Lender’s interest in the Revenues
constitutes a lien on or security interest in or pledge of the Revenues, it is agreed and
understood that the forwarding of a notice to Grantor after the occurrence of an Event of Default
advising Grantor of the revocation of Grantor’s license to collect such Revenues, shall be
sufficient action by Lender to (i) perfect such lien on or security interest in or pledge of the
Revenues, (ii) take possession thereof and (iii) entitle Lender to immediate and direct payment of
the Revenues, for application as provided in this Deed of Trust, all without the necessity of any
further action by Lender, including, without limitation, any action to obtain possession of the
Land, Improvements or any other portion of the Property.




     15. Leases of the Property.



          (a) Except as permitted in the Credit Agreement, Grantor will not enter into any Lease of all
or any portion of the Property or amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or terminate or cancel, or
accept the surrender of, or consent to the assignment or subletting of, or grant any concessions to
or waive the performance of any obligations of any tenant, lessee or licensee under, any now
existing or future Lease of the Property, without the prior written consent of Lender. Grantor, at
Lender’s request, shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases hereafter made of all or
any part of the Property as required by the Credit Agreement. Upon Lender’s request, Grantor shall
make a separate and distinct assignment to Lender, as additional security, of all Leases hereafter
made of all or any part of the Property.




          (b) There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created by the Leases with the fee
estate of the Property without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may at any time and
from time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose, unilaterally subordinate
the lien of this Deed of Trust to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Grantor,
any tenant or any other Person, and notice is hereby given to each tenant under a Lease of such
right to subordinate. No such subordination shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other
encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lienholder. Nothing herein shall
be construed as subordinating this Deed of Trust to any Lease.




          (c) Grantor hereby appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, empowering
Lender to subordinate any Leases to this Deed of Trust.




     16. Remedies Cumulative. All remedies provided in this Deed of Trust are distinct and
cumulative to any other right or remedy under this Deed of Trust or under the other Loan Documents
or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.



     17. Taxation of Deed of Trusts. In the event of the enactment of any law deducting
from the value of the Property any deed of trust lien thereon, or imposing upon Lender the payment
of all or part of the taxes, charges or assessments previously paid by Grantor pursuant



15









 





to this Deed of Trust, or changing the law relating to the taxation of deeds of trust or debts
secured by deeds of trust or Lender’s interest in the Property so as to impose new incidents of tax
on Lender, then Grantor shall pay such taxes or assessments or shall reimburse Lender therefor;
provided, however, that if in the opinion of counsel to Lender, such payment cannot lawfully be
made by Grantor, then Lender may, at Lender’s option, declare the Secured Obligations to be
immediately due and payable and invoke any remedies permitted by Paragraph 19 of this Deed of
Trust.



     18. Events of Default and Acceleration. The term “Event of Default”, wherever used in
this Deed of Trust, shall mean any one or more of the following conditions or events:



          (a) Failure by Grantor to pay as and when due and payable any sums to be paid by Grantor under
this Deed of Trust (including, but not limited to any payment of Funds) and continuance of such
failure for a period of five (5) days after notice thereof from Lender (provided that no such cure
period is provided with respect to any payments for which no cure or grace period is provided under
the Credit Agreement); or




          (b) Failure by Grantor to duly observe or perform any term, covenant, condition or agreement
contained in Paragraph 3 or 4 of this Deed of Trust where such failure continues for ten (10)
Business Days; or




          (c) Failure by Grantor to duly observe or perform any other term, covenant, condition or
agreement contained in this Deed of Trust and continuance of such failure for a period of thirty
(30) days after notice thereof from Lender, provided, that any such cure period shall not apply to
any default excluded from any provision of grace or cure of defaults contained in this Deed of
Trust or in any other of the Loan Documents; or




          (d) Any representation or warranty of Grantor contained in this Deed of Trust shall prove to
have been false or incorrect in any material respect upon the date when made; or




          (e) The occurrence of any “Event of Default” as defined in any of the other Loan Documents.




     If an Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender may, at Lender’s option, by notice to
Grantor declare the entire Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the
same shall become immediately due and payable, and without presentment, protest, demand, notice of
intent to accelerate, or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by
Grantor. No omission on the part of Lender to exercise such option when entitled to do so shall be
construed as a waiver of such right.



     19. Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred, then the entire
Secured Obligations shall, at the option of Lender, immediately become due and payable without
presentment, protest, demand, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly WAIVED by Grantor, time being of the essence,
and Lender, at its option, may do any one or more of the following (and, if more than one, either
concurrently or independently, and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion), all
without regard to the adequacy or value of the security for the Secured Obligations:



16









 





          (a) Enter upon and take possession of the Property without the appointment of a receiver, or
an application therefor; at its option, operate the Property; at its option, exclude Grantor and
its agents and employees wholly therefrom; at its option, employ a managing agent of the Property;
and at its option, exercise any one or more of the rights and powers of Grantor to the same extent
as Grantor could, either in its own name, or in the name of Grantor; and receive the rents,
incomes, issues and profits of the Property. Lender shall have no obligation to discharge any
duties of a landlord to any tenant or to incur any liability as a result of any exercise by Lender
of any rights hereunder; and Lender shall not be liable for any failure to collect rents, issues,
profits or revenues, nor liable to account for any rents, issues, profits or revenues unless
actually received by Lender.




          (b) Apply, as a matter of strict right, without notice and without regard to the solvency,
fraud or mismanagement of any party bound for its payment, for the appointment of a receiver to
take possession of and to operate the Property and to collect and apply the incomes, rents, issues,
profits and revenues thereof, and Grantor does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment. Any
such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including
the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Property upon such terms as may be
approved by the court, and shall apply such rents in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of
Trust.




          (c) Pay, perform or observe any term, covenant or condition of this Deed of Trust and any of
the other Loan Documents and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Lender in
connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by
Grantor to Lender with interest thereon at the lesser of the Post-Default Rate or the maximum rate
of interest permitted by applicable law. The necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to
be paid shall be determined by Lender in its discretion. Lender is hereby empowered to enter and
to authorize others to enter upon the Property or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or
observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Grantor
or any person in possession holding under Grantor. Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the
remedies set forth in this Paragraph 19(c) shall be exercisable by Lender, and any and all payments
made or costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and
shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Grantor with interest thereon at the lesser of the
Post-Default Rate or the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding the
fact that such remedies were exercised and such payments made and costs incurred by Lender after
the filing by Grantor of a voluntary case or the filing against Grantor of an involuntary case
pursuant to or within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code, Title 11 U.S.C., or after any similar
action pursuant to any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or
otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become
applicable to Grantor, Lender, any guarantor, the Secured Obligations or any of the Loan Documents.




          (d) Trustee, upon the request of Lender, shall be authorized and empowered and it shall be his
special duty to sell the Property or any part thereof at public auction to the highest bidder for
cash, with or without having taken possession of same. The sale shall be made in the county in
which the Property is situated. If the Property is situated in more than one county, then notices
as hereinafter provided shall be given in both or all of such counties, the Property may be sold in
either county, and such notices shall designate the county where the


17









 







Property will be sold. Notice of such sale shall be given by posting written notice of the
sale at the courthouse door or other place designated for the filing of such notices in the county
where the Property is situated, and by filing a copy of the notice in the county clerk’s office, in
the county in which the sale is to be made, at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of the
sale. If the Property is in more than one county, one notice shall be posted at the courthouse
door of each county in which the Property is situated and one notice shall be filed with the county
clerk of each county in which the Property is situated. In addition, one of the holders of the
Secured Obligations (or any part thereof) shall at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of
such sale serve written notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on each debtor obligated to
pay the Secured Obligations (or any part thereof) according to the records of such holder. Service
of such notice upon each debtor shall be completed upon deposit of the notice, enclosed in a
postpaid wrapper, properly addressed to such debtor at his, her or its most recent address as shown
by the records of such holder of the Secured Obligations (or any part thereof) 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. After such written notice shall have been posted or
filed, as aforesaid, and such notice shall have been served upon such debtor or debtors, as
aforesaid, Trustee shall perform his duty to enforce the trusts created herein by selling the
Property, either as an entirety or in parcels as the Lender may direct (all rights to a marshaling
of assets or sale in inverse order of alienation being waived and Grantor shall not have any right
to require the Trustee to sell less than all of the Property) at public venue, in the place
designated by the commissioner’s court in the county designated in such notice on the first Tuesday
in any month between the hours of 10:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. (and within three (3) hours after a
specific time designated in such notice), to the highest bidder or bidders for cash, and make due
conveyance of the Property to the purchaser or purchasers, with general warranty subject to the
Permitted Encumbrances and any other leases or matters affecting title approved by Lender hereunder
or pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Grantor binds itself, its heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns, to warrant and forever defend the title to such purchaser or purchasers,
when so made by Trustee acting against the claims and demands of every person whomsoever lawfully
claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and any
other leases or matters affecting title approved by Lender hereunder or pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. Payment of the purchase price to Trustee shall satisfy the obligation of the purchaser
at such sale therefor, and such purchaser shall not be responsible for the application thereof.
The sale or sales by Trustee of less than the whole of the Property shall not exhaust the power of
sale herein granted, and Trustee is specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales under
such power until the whole of the Property shall be sold; and if the proceeds of such sale or sales
of less than the whole of the Property shall be less than the aggregate of the Secured Obligations
and the expenses thereof, this Deed of Trust and the lien, security interest and assignment hereof
shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Property just as though no
sale or sales had been made; provided, however, that Grantor shall never have any right to require
the sale or sales of less than the whole of the Property, but Lender shall have the
right, at its
sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than the whole of the Property. If an Event of
Default occurs, the holder of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof on which the payment is
delinquent shall have the option to proceed with foreclosure in satisfaction of such item either
through judicial proceedings or by directing Trustee to proceed as if under a full foreclosure,
conducting the sale as herein provided without


18









 






 declaring the entire Secured Obligations due, and if sale is made because of default of an
installment, or a part of an installment, such sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of
the Secured Obligations; and it is agreed that such sale, if so made, shall not in any manner
affect the unmatured part of the Secured Obligations, but as to such unmatured part, this Deed of
Trust shall remain in full force and effect as though no sale had been made under the provisions of
this paragraph. Several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any
unmatured part of the Secured Obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any sale may
be adjourned by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale without further notice
except as may be required by law. Trustee may, after any request or direction by Lender, sell not
only the real property but also the Collateral and other interests which are a part of the
Property, or any part thereof, as a unit and as a part of a single sale, or may sell any part of
the Property separately from the remainder of the Property. It shall not be necessary for Trustee
to have taken possession of any part of the Property or to have present or to exhibit at any sale
any of the Collateral. The Trustee or his successor or substitute may appoint or delegate any one
or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by
Trustee, including the posting of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of
Trustee, his successor or substitute. If Trustee or his successor or substitute shall have given
notice of sale hereunder, any successor or substitute Trustee thereafter appointed may complete the
sale and the conveyance of the property pursuant thereto as if such notice had been given by the
successor or substitute Trustee conducting the sale. At any such sale (1) Grantor hereby agrees,
on its behalf and on behalf of its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, personal
representatives and assigns, that any and all recitals made in any deed of conveyance given by
Trustee with respect to the identity of Lender, the occurrence or existence of any default, the
acceleration of the maturity of any of the Secured Obligations, the request to sell, the notice of
sale, the giving of notice to all debtors legally entitled thereto, the time, place, terms, and
manner of sale, and receipt, distribution and application of the money realized therefrom, or the
due and proper appointment of a substitute Trustee, and, without being limited by the foregoing,
with respect to any other act or thing having been duly done by Lender or by Trustee hereunder,
shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that the statements or
recitals state facts and are without further question to be so accepted, and Grantor hereby
ratifies and confirms every act that Trustee or any substitute Trustee hereunder may lawfully do in
the premises by virtue hereof, and (2) the purchaser may disaffirm any easement granted, or rental,
lease or other contract made in violation of any provision of this Deed of Trust, and may take
immediate possession of the Property free from, and despite the terms of, such grant of easement
and rental or lease contract. Lender may bid and become the purchaser of all or any part of the
Property at any trustee’s or foreclosure sale hereunder, and the amount of Lender’s successful bid
may be credited on the Secured Obligations. Lender may, at its option, direct the Trustee to sell
the Property subject to the rights of any tenants of the Property, and the failure to make any such
tenants parties to any foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be asserted
by Grantor to be a defense to any proceedings instituted by Lender to collect the Secured
Obligations. The provisions hereof with respect to posting and giving notices of sale are intended
to comply with the provisions of the Texas Property Code, including without limitation Section
51.002, and other applicable laws, and in the event the requirement for any notice under the Texas
Property Code or such other applicable law shall be eliminated or the prescribed manner of giving
same modified by future amendment to, or adoption of any statute superseding the Texas Property
Code or such other applicable law, the requirement for such particular notice


19









 






 shall be deemed stricken from or modified in this Deed of Trust in conformity with such
amendment or superseding statute, effective as of the effective date of same. The manner herein
prescribed for serving or giving any notice, other than that to be posted or caused to be posted by
Trustee, shall not be deemed exclusive but such notice or notices may be given in any other manner
which may be permitted by applicable law. Said sale shall forever be a bar against Grantor, its
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and all other persons claiming under it. It
is expressly agreed that the recitals in each conveyance to the purchaser shall be full evidence of
the truth of the matters therein stated, and all lawful prerequisites to said sale shall be
conclusively presumed to have been performed.




          (e) Enforce any legal or equitable remedy against Grantor, including without limitation suing
for any sums, whether interest, principal or any installment of either or both, taxes, penalties or
any other sums required to be paid under the terms of this Deed of Trust, as the same become due,
without regard to whether or not all of the Secured Obligations shall then be due, and without
prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to enforce any other remedy, including without
limitation an action of foreclosure, whether or not such other remedy be based upon an Event of
Default which existed at the time of commencement of an earlier or pending action, and whether or
not such other remedy be based upon the same Event of Default upon which an earlier or pending
action is based.




          (f) UCC Remedies. In addition to any other remedies set forth herein, with respect to
any Collateral subject to the security interest created by this Deed of Trust as security
instrument, or any financing statement filed in connection with such security interest under the
Uniform Commercial Code, Lender may exercise any and all rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or
the like (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), together
with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate, from the date incurred by Lender until actually
paid by Grantor, shall be paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and
by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Obligations. If notice is
required by law, Lender shall give Grantor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time
and place of any public sale of such property or of the time of or after which any private sale or
any other intended disposition thereof is to be made, and if such notice is sent to Grantor, as the
same is provided for the mailing of notices herein, it is hereby deemed that such notice shall be
and is reasonable notice to Grantor. No such notice is necessary for any such property which is
perishable, threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market. Any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 19(f) shall be deemed to have
been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with the
foreclosure sale as provided in Paragraph 19(d) of this Deed of Trust upon giving the same notice
with respect to the sale of the Property hereunder as is required under said Paragraph 19(d).




          (g) The proceeds of any sale of, and any rents and other amounts generated by the holding,
leasing, operation or other use of the Property shall be applied by the Trustee (or the receiver,
if one is appointed) to the extent that funds are so available therefrom, in the following order of
priority:




20









 








               (i) Costs of Trustee’s Sale. First, to the payment of all reasonable costs of the
sale by the Trustee or other costs mandated by law (including a reasonable trustee’s commission);



               (ii) Other Costs. Second, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of
taking possession of the Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing and selling the same,
including, without limitation, (A) reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, and (B) the payment
of any and all Impositions, liens, security interests or other rights, titles or interest superior
to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust;



               (iii) Secured Obligations Other than the Note. Third, to the payment of all amounts
of the Secured Obligations, excluding the principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest on the
Note, which may be due to the holder of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, together with
interest thereon as provided therein;



               (iv) Note. Fourth, to the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, the
application to the different portions of the Note to be made in such manner, order and priority as
Lender in its sole discretion may elect; and



               (v) Balance. Fifth, to Grantor, its heirs, legal representatives, successors and
assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.



          (h) Trustee may require minimum bids at any foreclosure sale and may cancel and abandon the
sale if no bid is received equal to or greater than any such minimum bid. If foreclosure should be
commenced by Trustee, Lender may at any time before the sale direct Trustee to abandon the sale for
any reason, and may at any time or times thereafter direct Trustee to again commence foreclosure.
Irrespective of whether foreclosure is commenced by Trustee, Lender may at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default institute suit for collection of the Secured Obligations or
foreclosure of the lien of this Deed of Trust. If Lender should institute suit for collection of
the Secured Obligations or foreclosure of the lien of this Deed of Trust, Lender or such other
holder may at any time before the entry of final judgment dismiss the same, and require Trustee to
sell the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust.




          (i) No single sale or series of sales by Trustee or by any substitute or successor Trustee
under this Deed of Trust, and no judicial foreclosure or incomplete or defective sale shall
extinguish the lien or security interest, or exhaust the power of sale under this Deed of Trust
except with respect to the items of property sold, but such lien or security interest and power
shall exist for so long as, and may be exercised in any manner by law or in this Deed of Trust
provided as often as, the circumstances require to give Lender full relief hereunder.




          (j) Lender shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale made hereunder, being the
highest bidder, and credit upon all or any part of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed cash
paid for the purposes of this Article.




          (k) Grantor hereby waives any right or remedy which Grantor may have or be able to assert
pursuant to Chapter 34 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, or any other provision of Texas
law, pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties.




21









 








          (l) If the liens or securities 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 Grantor
or any of Grantor’s successors shall hold possession of said property or any part thereof
subsequent to foreclosure, Grantor and Grantor’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
Property so occupied and sold to such purchaser), and anyone occupying such portion of the
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.




          (m) The remedies in this Paragraph 19 shall be available under and governed by the real
property laws of Texas and shall not be governed by the personal property laws of Texas, including,
but not limited to, the power to dispose of personal property in a commercially reasonable manner
under Section 9.610 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, unless Lender elects to proceed as to the
Collateral together with the other Property under and pursuant to the real property remedies of
this Paragraph 19.




          (n) THE TRUSTEE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY ERROR OF JUDGMENT OR ACT DONE BY TRUSTEE IN GOOD
FAITH, OR BE OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE OR ACCOUNTABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER (EXPRESSLY
INCLUDING FOR TRUSTEE’S NEGLIGENCE), EXCEPT FOR TRUSTEE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
THE TRUSTEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO RELY ON ANY INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR SIGNATURE AUTHORIZING OR
SUPPORTING ANY ACTION TAKEN OR PROPOSED TO BE TAKEN BY HIM/HER HEREUNDER, BELIEVED BY HIM/HER IN
GOOD FAITH TO BE GENUINE. ALL MONIES 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 MONIES (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW), AND TRUSTEE
SHALL BE UNDER NO LIABILITY FOR INTEREST ON ANY MONIES RECEIVED BY HIM/HER HEREUNDER. GRANTOR
HEREBY RATIFIES AND CONFIRMS ANY AND ALL ACTS WHICH THE HEREIN NAMED TRUSTEE OR HIS/HER SUCCESSOR
OR SUCCESSORS, SUBSTITUTE OR SUBSTITUTES, IN THIS TRUST, SHALL DO LAWFULLY BY VIRTUE HEREOF.
GRANTOR WILL REIMBURSE TRUSTEE FOR, AND SAVE HIM/HER HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LIABILITY AND
EXPENSES WHICH MAY BE INCURRED BY HIM/HER IN THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS/HER DUTIES. THE FOREGOING
INDEMNITY SHALL NOT TERMINATE UPON DISCHARGE OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS OR FORECLOSURE, OR RELEASE
OR OTHER TERMINATION, OF THIS DEED OF TRUST.




     20. Waiver of Deficiency Statute.



          (a) Waiver. In the event an interest in any of the Property is foreclosed upon
pursuant to a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale, Grantor agrees as follows: notwithstanding
the provisions of Sections 51.003, 51.004, and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as the same

22









 








may be amended from time to time), and to the extent permitted by law, Grantor agrees that
Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Grantor 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 Property was sold pursuant to judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Grantor expressly
recognizes that this Paragraph 20 constitutes a waiver of the above-cited provisions of the Texas
Property Code which would otherwise permit Grantor, Borrower and other persons against whom
recovery of deficiencies is sought or any Guarantor independently (even absent the initiation of
deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of the
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. Grantor
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 Property for purposes of
calculating deficiencies owed by any Grantor, Borrower, and others against whom recovery of a
deficiency is sought.




          (b) Alternative to Waiver. Alternatively, in the event the waiver provided for in
subparagraph (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
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 Property shall be
valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or
expectation that the Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of the
Property after foreclosure; (ii) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the
foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Property for cash promptly (but no later than twelve
(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 Property, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance, a
survey of the Property, tax prorations, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and marketing costs; (iv) the
gross fair market value of the Property shall be further discounted to account for any estimated
holding costs associated with maintaining the 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 Property must be given by persons having at least five (5) years experience in appraising
property similar to the Property and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal
of the Property taking into consideration the factors set forth above.




     21. Substitute Trustee. In case of absence, death, inability, refusal or failure of
Trustee herein named to act, or in case he should resign (and he is hereby authorized to resign
without notice to Grantor), or if Lender shall desire, with or without cause, to replace Trustee
herein named, a successor and substitute Trustee may be named, constituted and appointed by Lender
or other holder of the Secured Obligations, without other formality than an appointment and
designation in writing. This conveyance shall vest in such successor or substitute Trustee, as
Trustee, the estate in and title to all of the Property, and such successor or substitute Trustee
so appointed and designated shall thereupon hold, possess and exercise all the title, rights,
powers and duties herein conferred on Trustee named herein and any previous successor or substitute



23









 




Trustee, and his/her conveyance to the purchaser at any such sale shall be equally valid and
effective as if made by Trustee named herein, and such right to appoint a successor or substitute
Trustee shall exist and may be exercised as often and whenever from any of said causes, or without
cause, as aforesaid.




     22. Notices. Except as otherwise specified in this Deed of Trust, any and all
notices, demands, elections or requests provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Deed
of Trust (hereinafter in this Paragraph 22 referred to as “Notice”) shall be in writing and shall
be deemed to have been properly given or served by personal delivery or by sending same by
overnight courier or by depositing same in the United States Mail, postpaid and registered or
certified, return receipt requested, and addressed to the addresses set forth on page one hereof.
A duplicate copy of each Notice to Lender shall be sent to Wachovia Bank, National Association, 171
17th Street, N.W., GA 4506, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, Attn: Cathy Casey. A duplicate
copy of each Notice to Grantor shall be sent to William F. Timmons, Esq., McKenna Long & Aldridge
LLP, 303 Peachtree Street, N.E., Suite 5300, Atlanta, Georgia, 30308. Each Notice shall be
effective upon being personally delivered or upon being sent by overnight courier or upon being
deposited in the United States Mail as aforesaid. However, the time period in which a response to
such Notice must be given or any action taken with respect thereto, if any, shall commence to run
from the date of receipt if personally delivered or sent by overnight courier, or, if so deposited
in the United States Mail, on the date of receipt as disclosed on the return receipt. Rejection or
other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address for which no Notice
was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice sent. By giving at least five (5) Business
Days prior Notice thereof, Grantor or Lender shall have the right from time to time and at any time
during the term of this Deed of Trust to change their respective addresses and each shall have the
right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America.



     23. Successors and Assigns Bound; Captions. The covenants and agreements herein
contained shall bind, and the rights hereunder shall inure to, the respective successors and
assigns of Lender and Grantor, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6 hereof. The captions and
headings of the paragraphs of this Deed of Trust are for convenience only and are not to be used to
interpret or define the provisions hereof.



     24. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF GRANTOR
HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED AND DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF TEXAS, AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. SHOULD ANY OBLIGATION OR REMEDY
UNDER THIS INSTRUMENT BE INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE PURSUANT TO THE LAWS PROVIDED HEREIN TO GOVERN,
THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE REFERRED TO HEREIN OR OF ANOTHER STATE WHOSE LAWS CAN VALIDATE AND
APPLY THERETO SHALL GOVERN. In the event that any provision or clause of this Deed of Trust, the
Note or the other Loan Documents is invalid or unenforceable or conflicts with applicable law, such
invalidity, unenforceability or conflict shall not affect other provisions of this Deed of Trust,
the Note or the other Loan Documents which can be given effect without the invalid, unenforceable
or conflicting provision, and to this end, the provisions of this Deed of Trust, the Note and the
other Loan Documents are declared to be severable. In the event that any applicable law limiting
the



24









 




amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Grantor is interpreted so
that any charge for which provision is made in this Deed of Trust, the Note or the other Loan
Documents, whether considered separately or together with other charges permitted to be collected
from Grantor as a part of the transaction represented by this Deed of Trust, the Note and the other
Loan Documents, violates such law, and Grantor is entitled to the benefit of such law, such charge
is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such violation. The amounts, if any,
previously paid to Lender in excess of the amounts payable to Lender pursuant to such charges as
reduced shall be applied by Lender to reduce the principal of the indebtedness evidenced by the
Note.




     25. WAIVERS. GRANTOR AGREES TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THAT IN CASE OF AN
EVENT OF DEFAULT HEREUNDER, NEITHER GRANTOR NOR ANYONE CLAIMING THROUGH OR UNDER GRANTOR SHALL OR
WILL SET UP, CLAIM OR SEEK TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY MORATORIUM, REINSTATEMENT, FORBEARANCE,
APPRAISEMENT, VALUATION, STAY, EXTENSION, HOMESTEAD, EXEMPTION OR REDEMPTION LAWS NOW OR HEREAFTER
IN FORCE, IN ORDER TO PREVENT OR HINDER THE ENFORCEMENT OR FORECLOSURE OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, OR
THE ABSOLUTE SALE OF THE PROPERTY, OR THE FINAL AND ABSOLUTE PUTTING INTO POSSESSION THEREOF,
IMMEDIATELY AFTER SUCH SALE, OF THE PURCHASERS THEREAT, AND GRANTOR, FOR GRANTOR AND ALL WHO MAY AT
ANY TIME CLAIM THROUGH OR UNDER GRANTOR, HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT GRANTOR MAY
LAWFULLY SO DO, THE BENEFIT OF ALL SUCH LAWS, AND ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO HAVE THE ASSETS COMPRISED IN
THE SECURITY INTENDED TO BE CREATED HEREBY MARSHALED UPON ANY TRUSTEE’S SALE OR JUDICIAL
FORECLOSURE OF THE LIEN HEREOF. NO DELAY OR OMISSION OF LENDER OR OF ANY HOLDER OF THE NOTE TO
EXERCISE ANY RIGHT, POWER OR REMEDY ACCRUING UPON ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL EXHAUST OR IMPAIR ANY
SUCH RIGHT, POWER OR REMEDY OR SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO BE A WAIVER OF ANY SUCH DEFAULT, OR
ACQUIESCENCE THEREIN; AND EVERY RIGHT, POWER AND REMEDY GIVEN BY THIS DEED OF TRUST TO LENDER MAY
BE EXERCISED FROM TIME TO TIME AND AS OFTEN AS MAY BE DEEMED EXPEDIENT BY LENDER. NO CONSENT OR
WAIVER, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, BY LENDER TO OR OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL BE DEEMED OR CONSTRUED
TO BE A CONSENT OR WAIVER TO OR OF ANY OTHER EVENT OF DEFAULT. FAILURE ON THE PART OF LENDER TO
COMPLAIN OF ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT WHICH CONSTITUTES AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW
LONG SUCH FAILURE CONTINUES, SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER BY LENDER OF LENDER’S RIGHTS HEREUNDER
OR IMPAIR ANY RIGHTS, POWERS OR REMEDIES CONSEQUENT ON ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT. NO ACT OR OMISSION OF
LENDER AS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH 10 ABOVE SHALL PRECLUDE LENDER FROM EXERCISING ANY RIGHT, POWER OR
PRIVILEGE HEREIN GRANTED OR INTENDED TO BE GRANTED IN THE EVENT OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT THEN MADE
OR OF ANY SUBSEQUENT EVENT OF DEFAULT; NOR, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN AN INSTRUMENT
OR INSTRUMENTS EXECUTED BY



25









 




LENDER, SHALL THE LIEN OF THIS DEED OF TRUST BE ALTERED THEREBY. IN THE EVENT OF THE SALE OR
TRANSFER BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PROPERTY, LENDER, WITHOUT
NOTICE, IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED AND EMPOWERED TO DEAL WITH ANY SUCH VENDEE OR TRANSFEREE WITH
REFERENCE TO THE PROPERTY OR THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS OR WITH REFERENCE TO ANY OF THE TERMS,
COVENANTS, CONDITIONS OR AGREEMENTS HEREOF, AS FULLY AND TO THE SAME EXTENT AS IT MIGHT DEAL WITH
THE ORIGINAL PARTIES HERETO AND WITHOUT IN ANY WAY RELEASING OR DISCHARGING ANY LIABILITIES,
OBLIGATIONS OR UNDERTAKINGS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER
CONTAINED IN PARAGRAPH 6 OF THIS DEED OF TRUST). GRANTOR COVENANTS AND AGREES THAT, UPON THE
COMMENCEMENT OF A VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDING BY OR AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY
OTHER GUARANTOR, GRANTOR SHALL NOT SEEK A SUPPLEMENTAL STAY OR OTHER RELIEF, WHETHER INJUNCTIVE OR
OTHERWISE, PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §105 OR ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE BANKRUPTCY REFORM ACT OF 1978,
AS AMENDED, OR ANY OTHER DEBTOR RELIEF LAW (WHETHER STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, CASE LAW OR OTHERWISE)
OF ANY JURISDICTION WHATSOEVER, NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT, WHICH MAY BE OR BECOME APPLICABLE, TO
STAY, INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT THE ABILITY OF LENDER TO ENFORCE ANY RIGHTS OF LENDER
AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY OTHER GUARANTOR OF OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR PARTY LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO THE
SECURED OBLIGATIONS.




     26. Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon request by Lender,
Grantor will make, execute and deliver, or cause to be made, executed and delivered, to Lender and,
where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be
re-recorded and/or refiled at such time and in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable
by Lender, any and all such other and further assignments, deeds of trust, security agreements,
financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance, certificates and
other documents as may, in the opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate,
complete, or perfect, or to continue and preserve (a) the obligations of Grantor under this Deed of
Trust, and (b) the lien and security interest created by this Deed of Trust upon the Property.
Upon any failure by Grantor so to do, Lender may make, execute, record, file, re-record and/or
refile any and all such assignments, deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments, certificates, and documents for and in the name of Grantor,
and Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender the agent and attorney in fact of Grantor so to do.



     27. Subrogation. Lender shall be subrogated to all right, title, lien or equity of
all persons to whom Lender may have paid any monies or that may have been paid with proceeds of the
Loan in settlement of liens, charges or assessments, or in acquisition of title or for its benefit
hereunder, or for the benefit or account of Grantor upon execution of the Note or subsequently paid
under any provisions hereof.



26









 





     28. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every
covenant, agreement and obligation of Grantor under this Deed of Trust, the Note and any and all
other Loan Documents.



     29. INDEMNIFICATION; SUBROGATION; WAIVER OF OFFSET AND JURY TRIAL.



          (a) GRANTOR SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY HARMLESS AGAINST: (I) ANY
AND ALL CLAIMS FOR BROKERAGE, LEASING, FINDERS OR SIMILAR FEES WHICH MAY BE MADE RELATING TO THE
PROPERTY OR THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, AND (II) ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES,
PENALTIES, CLAIMS, ACTIONS, SUITS, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S
REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, TOGETHER WITH REASONABLE APPELLATE COUNSEL FEES, IF ANY) OF WHATEVER
KIND OR NATURE WHICH MAY BE ASSERTED AGAINST, IMPOSED ON OR INCURRED BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY
(EXPRESSLY INCLUDING ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, CLAIMS,
ACTIONS, SUITS, COSTS AND EXPENSES DUE TO ANY NEGLIGENT ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED
PARTY) IN CONNECTION WITH THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, THIS DEED OF TRUST, THE PROPERTY, OR ANY PART
THEREOF, OR THE EXERCISE BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY OF ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES GRANTED TO IT UNDER
THIS DEED OF TRUST; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO OBLIGATE GRANTOR
TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL
LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, CLAIMS, ACTIONS, SUITS, COSTS AND EXPENSES
ENACTED AGAINST, IMPOSED ON OR INCURRED BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY BY REASON OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED
PARTY’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE IF A JUDGMENT IS ENTERED AGAINST SUCH INDEMNIFIED
PARTY BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AFTER THE EXHAUSTION OF ALL APPLICABLE APPEAL PERIODS.
GRANTOR AGREES THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES BY GRANTOR SET FORTH IN THIS
SECTION 29 INCLUDES INDEMNIFICATION IN THE EVENT OF ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE
INDEMNIFIED PARTIES BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE INDEMNIFICATION OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.




          (b) IF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS MADE A PARTY DEFENDANT TO ANY LITIGATION OR ANY CLAIM IS
THREATENED OR BROUGHT AGAINST SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY CONCERNING THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, THIS DEED
OF TRUST, THE PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN, OR THE CONSTRUCTION,
MAINTENANCE, OPERATION OR OCCUPANCY OR USE THEREOF, THEN GRANTOR SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD
SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL LIABILITY BY REASON OF SAID LITIGATION OR
CLAIMS, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES (TOGETHER WITH REASONABLE APPELLATE COUNSEL FEES,
 

27









 








IF ANY) AND REASONABLE EXPENSES INCURRED BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION OR
CLAIM, WHETHER OR NOT ANY SUCH LITIGATION OR CLAIM IS PROSECUTED TO JUDGMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
THAT NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH 29 SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO OBLIGATE GRANTOR TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND
HOLD HARMLESS ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY BY REASON OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR
GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS RELATING TO THE PROPERTY FIRST OCCURRING AFTER ANY SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY OR ITS NOMINEE ACQUIRES TITLE TO THE PROPERTY BY THE EXERCISE OF ITS FORECLOSURE
REMEDIES OR BY DEED IN LIEU OF FORECLOSURE, BUT SHALL APPLY WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS THAT IN WHOLE
OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S NEGLIGENCE. IF ANY INDEMNIFIED
PARTY COMMENCES AN ACTION AGAINST GRANTOR TO ENFORCE ANY OF THE TERMS HEREOF OR TO PROSECUTE ANY
EVENT OF DEFAULT BY GRANTOR HEREOF OR TO RECOVER ANY SUM SECURED HEREBY, GRANTOR SHALL PAY TO SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY ITS REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES (TOGETHER WITH REASONABLE APPELLATE COUNSEL FEES,
IF ANY) AND REASONABLE EXPENSES. THE RIGHT TO SUCH ATTORNEYS’ FEES (TOGETHER WITH REASONABLE
APPELLATE COUNSEL FEES, IF ANY) AND REASONABLE EXPENSES SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCRUED ON THE
COMMENCEMENT OF SUCH ACTION, AND SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE WHETHER OR NOT SUCH ACTION IS PROSECUTED TO
JUDGMENT. IF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS UNDER THIS DEED OF TRUST, ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY MAY ENGAGE
THE SERVICES OF AN ATTORNEY OR ATTORNEYS TO PROTECT ITS RIGHTS HEREUNDER, AND IN THE EVENT OF SUCH
ENGAGEMENT FOLLOWING ANY BREACH BY GRANTOR, GRANTOR SHALL PAY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY REASONABLE
ATTORNEYS’ FEES (TOGETHER WITH REASONABLE APPELLATE COUNSEL FEES, IF ANY) AND REASONABLE EXPENSES
INCURRED BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY, WHETHER OR NOT AN ACTION IS ACTUALLY COMMENCED AGAINST GRANTOR
BY REASON OF SUCH BREACH. ALL REFERENCES TO “ATTORNEYS” IN THIS SUBPARAGRAPH AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS
DEED OF TRUST SHALL INCLUDE WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY REASONABLE ATTORNEY OR LAW FIRM ENGAGED BY ANY
INDEMNIFIED PARTY AND SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S IN-HOUSE COUNSEL, AND ALL REFERENCES TO “FEES AND
EXPENSES” IN THIS SUBPARAGRAPH AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS DEED OF TRUST SHALL INCLUDE WITHOUT LIMITATION
ANY REASONABLE FEES OF SUCH ATTORNEY OR LAW FIRM AND ANY ALLOCATION CHARGES AND ALLOCATION COSTS OF
ANY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S IN-HOUSE COUNSEL.




          (c) A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by Grantor from its insurance carrier and,
consequently, Grantor waives any and all right to claim or recover against any Indemnified Party,
for loss of or damage to Grantor, the Property, Grantor’s property or the property of others under
Grantor’s control from any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the
provisions of this Deed of Trust.




          (d) ALL SUMS PAYABLE BY GRANTOR HEREUNDER SHALL BE PAID WITHOUT NOTICE (EXCEPT AS MAY
OTHERWISE BE PROVIDED HEREIN),

28









 







DEMAND, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEDUCTION OR DEFENSE AND WITHOUT ABATEMENT, SUSPENSION,
DEFERMENT, DIMINUTION OR REDUCTION, AND THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF GRANTOR HEREUNDER SHALL
