4.20  Inspection.  Beneficiary may make or cause to be made reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property.

4.21  Protection of Lender's Security. (a) If Grantor fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Deed of Trust, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which affects the Property or title thereto or the interest of Beneficiary therein, including without limitation eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option, may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as Beneficiary deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect Beneficiary's interest.

(b)           Any amounts disbursed by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 4.21, with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of Grantor secured by this Deed of Trust.  Unless Grantor and Beneficiary agree to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Note 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 non-usurious rate which may be collected from Grantor under applicable law.  Grantor covenants and agrees that Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other lien discharged, in whole or in part, by the Indebtedness.  Nothing contained in this Section 4.21 shall require Beneficiary to incur any expense or take any action under this Deed of Trust.

4.22  Subordinate Deed of Trust.  Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, grant any lien, security interest, or other encumbrance (a "Subordinate Deed of Trust") covering any of the Property.  If Beneficiary consents to a Subordinate Deed of Trust or if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, any such Subordinate Deed of Trust shall contain express covenants to the effect that:  (a) the Subordinate Deed of Trust is unconditionally subordinate to this Deed of Trust; and (b) written notice of default under the Subordinate Deed of Trust and written notice of the commencement of any action (whether judicial or pursuant to a power of sale) to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Deed of Trust shall be given to Beneficiary with or immediately after the occurrence of any such default or commencement.

4.23  Liens.  Grantor shall promptly discharge any lien which has, or may have, priority over or equality with, the lien of this Deed of Trust, and Grantor shall pay, when due, the claims of all persons supplying labor or materials to or in connection with the Property.  Without Beneficiary's prior written permission, Grantor shall not allow any lien inferior to this Deed of Trust to be perfected against the Property.

4.24  Assignment of Rents.  Grantor assigns to Beneficiary absolutely, not only as collateral, all present and future rent and other income and receipts from the Property.  Leases are not assigned.  Grantor warrants the validity and enforceability of the assignment.  Grantor may as Beneficiary's licensee collect rent and other income and receipts as long as Grantor is not in default under the Note or this Deed of Trust.  Grantor will apply all rent and other income and receipts to payment of the Note and performance of this Deed of Trust, but if the rent and other income and receipts exceed the amount due under the Note and Deed of Trust, Grantor may retain the excess.  If Grantor defaults in payment of the Note or in performance of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may terminate Grantor's license to collect and then as Grantor's agent may rent the Property if it is vacant and collect all rent and other income and receipts.  Beneficiary neither has nor assumes any obligations as lessor or landlord with respect to any occupant of the Property.  Beneficiary may exercise Beneficiary's rights and remedies under this Section without taking possession of the Property.  Beneficiary shall apply all rent and other income and receipts collected under this Section first to expenses incurred in exercising Beneficiary's rights and remedies and then in accordance with Section 2.04.  Beneficiary is not required to act under this Section, and acting under this Section does not waive any of Beneficiary's other rights and remedies.  If Grantor becomes a voluntary or involuntary bankrupt, Beneficiary's filing a proof of claim in bankruptcy will be tantamount to the appointment of a receiver under Texas law.

 

4.25  Organization and Power (Corporate Borrower).  This Section is applicable if Grantor is a corporation.  Grantor  (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing under the laws of the state of its incorporation and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation and the laws of the State of Texas, (b) has complied with all conditions prerequisite to its lawfully doing business in the state where the Land is situated, and (c) has all requisite corporate power and all governmental certificates of authority, licenses, permits, qualifications, and documentation to own, lease, and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being, and as proposed to be, conducted, and the execution of this Deed of Trust, the Note and any and all other Loan Documents is within Grantor 's powers, has been duly authorized by all requisite action, and is not in contravention of law or the Grantor 's corporate charter.

ARTICLE VI

6.01  Acceleration and Waiver of Notices.  Subject to any notice and cure allowed under the Note and Loan Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option, may declare all of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable without further demand and may invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein.  Grantor  acknowledges that the power of sale granted to Beneficiary may be exercised by Beneficiary without prior judicial hearing.  Grantor each Guarantor, surety, and endorser of all or any part of the Indebtedness expressly waive all presentations for payment, notices of intention to accelerate maturity, notices of acceleration of maturity, notices of intention to demand payment, demands for payment, protests, and notices of protest.  Grantor  and each Guarantor, surety, and endorser acknowledge and understand that by these waivers they waive any right they may have to receive notices of default under this Deed of Trust, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, as well as any opportunity to cure any such default.

 

6.02  Notice of Sale.  Notice of sale of all or part of the Property by the Trustee shall be given by posting written notice thereof at the courthouse door (or other area in the courthouse as may be designated for such public notices) of the county in which the sale is to be made, and by filing a copy of the notice in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the sale is to be made, at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of the sale, and if the Property to be sold is in more than one county a notice shall be posted at the courthouse door (or other area in the courthouse as may be designated for such public notices) and filed with the county clerk of each county in which the Property to be sold is situated.  In addition, Beneficiary shall, at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of sale, serve written notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on Grantor  and each debtor obligated to pay the Indebtedness secured hereby according to the records of Beneficiary.  Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the notice, enclosed in a postpaid wrapper, properly addressed to such debtor at the most recent address as shown by the records of Beneficiary, in a post office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service.  The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of service.  Any notice that is required or permitted to be given to Grantor  may be addressed to Grantor  at Grantor 's address as stated in this Deed of Trust.  Any notice that is to be given by certified mail to any other debtor may, if no address for such other debtor is shown by the records of Beneficiary, be addressed to such other debtor at the address of Grantor  as is shown by the records of Beneficiary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, notice of such sale given in accordance with the requirements of the applicable laws of the State of Texas in effect at the time of such sale shall constitute sufficient notice of such sale.

6.03  Trustee's Sale.  Beneficiary may require the Trustee to sell all or part of the Property, at public auction, to the highest bidder, for cash, at the county courthouse of the county in Texas in which the Property or any part thereof is situated, or if the Property is located in more than one county such sale or sales may be made at the courthouse in any county in which the Property is situated.  All sales shall take place at such area of the courthouse as shall be properly designated from time to time by the commissioners court (or, if not so designated by the commissioners court, at such other area in the courthouse as may be provided in the notice of sale hereinafter described) of the specified county, between the hours of 10:00 o'clock a.m. and 4:00 o'clock p.m. (the commencement of such sale to occur within three hours following the time designated in the above described notice of sale as the earliest time at which such sale shall occur, if required by applicable law) on the first Tuesday of any month, after giving notice of the time, place and terms of said sale (including the earliest time at which such sale shall occur) and of the Property to be sold in the manner hereinafter described.  Trustee may sell all or any portion of the Property, together or in lots or parcels.  In no event shall Trustee be required to exhibit, present or display at any such sale any of the Personal Property described herein to be sold at such sale.  Beneficiary 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 Beneficiary's successful bid may be credited on the Indebtedness.

 

6.04  Partial Sales.  The sale 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 sales under such power until the whole of the Property shall be sold; and if the proceeds of such sale of less than the whole of the Property shall be less than the aggregate of the Indebtedness 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 had been made; provided, however, that Grantor shall never have any right to require the sale of less than the whole of the Property, but Beneficiary shall have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than the whole of the Property.  If there is a default on the payment of any installment on the Note or any portion of the Indebtedness, and Beneficiary elects not to accelerate the unpaid balance of the Note or Indebtedness, Beneficiary shall have the option to proceed with foreclosure in satisfaction of such unpaid installment or other amount either through judicial proceedings or by directing Trustee to proceed as if under a full foreclosure, conducting the sale as herein provided without declaring the entire Indebtedness due.  It is agreed that such sale, if so made, shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the Indebtedness, 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 Section.  Several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of the Indebtedness.

6.05  Foreclosure of all Property.  The Land, Improvements, and Personal Property may be sold in one or more public sales pursuant to Texas Property Code Section 51.002 and Texas UCC Section 9.610.  Grantor and all persons obligated to pay the Indebtedness agree that notice of sale of the Property provided pursuant to Section 6.02 above and pursuant to Texas Property Code Section 51.002 is and shall constitute commercially reasonable notice of the sale of the Property or any part of the Property.  Beneficiary shall also be entitled to foreclose its security interests against the Personal Property in accordance with any other rights and remedies Beneficiary may have as a secured party under the Texas UCC.

6.06  Trustee's Deed.  Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser a Trustee's deed and such other assignments and documents of transfer and sale as Trustee may deem necessary conveying the Property so sold in fee simple with covenants of general warranty.  Grantor covenants and agrees to defend generally the purchaser's title to the Property against all claims and demands.  At any such sale (a) Grantor hereby agrees, in its behalf and in behalf of Grantor's 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 Beneficiary, the occurrence or existence of any default, the acceleration of the maturity of any of the Indebtedness, the request to sell, the notice of sale, the giving of notice to all debtors legally entitled thereto, the time, place, terms and manner of sale, and receipt, distribution and application of the money realized therefrom, or the due and proper appointment of a substitute Trustee, and, without being limited by the foregoing, with respect to any other act or thing having been duly done by Beneficiary or by Trustee hereunder, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that the statements or 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 (b) the purchaser may disaffirm any easement granted, subdivision plat filed, 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, subdivision plat, or rental, lease or other contract.

6.07  Proceeds of Sale.  Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the following order:  (a) to all reasonable costs and expenses of the sale, including but not limited to, reasonable Trustee's fees and attorney's fees and costs of title evidence; (b) to all sums secured by this Deed of Trust in such order as Beneficiary, in Beneficiary's sole discretion, directs; and (c) the excess, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

6.08  Possession After Sale.  If the Property is sold pursuant to Section 6.03, Grantor or any person holding possession of the Property through Grantor shall immediately surrender possession of the Property to the purchaser at such sale upon the purchaser's written demand.  If possession is not surrendered upon the purchaser's written demand, Grantor or such person shall be a tenant at sufferance and may be removed by writ of possession or by an action for forcible entry and detainer.

 

6.09  Costs and Expenses.  Beneficiary shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including but not limited to, attorney's fees and costs of documentary evidence, abstracts, and title reports.

6.10  Substitute Trustee.  Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option, with or without cause, may from time to time remove Trustee and appoint a successor trustee to any Trustee appointed hereunder without other formality than a designation in writing.  Without conveyance of the Property, the successor trustee shall succeed to all title, power, and duties conferred upon the Trustee by this Deed of Trust and by applicable law.

6.11  Remedies Cumulative.  Each remedy provided in this Deed of Trust is distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under this Deed of Trust or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order whatsoever.

6.12  Forbearance by Lender Not a Waiver.  Any forbearance by Beneficiary 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.  The acceptance by Beneficiary of payment of any sum secured by this Deed of Trust after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Beneficiary's right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment.  The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by Beneficiary shall not be a waiver of Beneficiary's right to accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness, nor shall Beneficiary's receipts of any awards, proceeds or damages under Section 4 operate to cure or waive Grantor 's default in payment of sums secured by this Deed of Trust.

6.13 Waiver of Marshalling.  Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the Property held by Beneficiary or by any other party, Beneficiary shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the remedies provided in this Article VI.  Grantor, any party who consents to this Deed of Trust, and any party who now or hereafter acquires a security interest in the Property and who has actual or constructive notice of this Deed of Trust and Beneficiary's rights and interests under this Deed of Trust, hereby waive any and all right to require the marshalling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided by this Deed of Trust.

7.02  Representations and Warranties.  Grantor represents and warrants that:

(a)           To the best of Grantor’s knowledge, and other than as disclosed in any environmental report delivered by Grantor to Beneficiary prior to the date hereof, no Hazardous Materials are now located on the Property, and neither Grantor nor, to Grantor's knowledge, any other person has ever caused or permitted any Hazardous Materials to be placed, held, located, or disposed of on, under, or at the Property or any part thereof in violation of the applicable law;

(b)           No part of the Property is being used or, to the knowledge of Grantor, has been used at any previous time for the disposal, storage, treatment, processing, or other handling of Hazardous Materials in violation of the applicable law, nor is any part of the Property affected by any Hazardous Materials Contamination;

7.03  Borrower's Covenants.  Grantor agrees to (a) give notice to Beneficiary immediately upon Grantor's acquiring knowledge of the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Property or of any Hazardous Materials Contamination with a full description thereof; (b) promptly comply with any Governmental Requirements requiring the removal, treatment or disposal of such Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination and provide Beneficiary with satisfactory evidence of such compliance; and (c) provide Beneficiary, within thirty (30) days after demand by Beneficiary, with a bond, letter of credit or similar financial assurance evidencing to Beneficiary's satisfaction that the necessary funds are available to pay the cost of removing, treating and disposing of such Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination and discharging any assessments which may be established on the Property as a result thereof.

 

7.04  Site Assessments.  Beneficiary (by its officers, employees and agents) at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, may contract for the services of persons (the "Site Reviewers") to perform environmental site assessments ("Site Assessments") on the Property for the purpose of determining whether there exists on the Property any environmental condition which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability, cost, or expense to the owner, occupier or operator of such Property arising under any state, federal or local law, rule or regulation relating to Hazardous Materials.  The Site Assessments may be performed at any time or times, upon reasonable notice, and under reasonable conditions established by Grantor which do not impede the performance of the Site Assessments.  The Site Reviewers are authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes.  The Site Reviewers are further authorized to perform both above and below the ground testing for environmental damage or the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Property and such other tests on the Property as may be necessary to conduct the Site Assessments in the reasonable opinion of the Site Reviewers.  Grantor will supply to the Site Reviewers such historical and operational information regarding the Property as may be reasonably requested by the Site Reviewers to facilitate the Site Assessments and will make available for meetings with the Site Reviewers appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters.  On request, Beneficiary shall make the results of such Site Assessments fully available to Grantor, which may, at Grantor's election, participate under reasonable procedures in the direction of such Site Assessments and the description of tasks of the Site Reviewers.  The cost of performing such Site Assessments shall be paid by Grantor upon demand of Beneficiary and any such obligations shall be Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust.

7.05  Indemnification.  Regardless of whether any Site Assessments are conducted hereunder, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or any remedies in respect of the Property are exercised by Beneficiary, Grantor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Beneficiary and Trustee from any and all liabilities (including strict liability), actions, demands, penalties, losses, costs, or expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees and expenses, and remedial costs), suits, costs of any settlement or judgment and claims of any and every kind whatsoever which may now or in the future (whether before or after the release of this Deed of Trust) be paid, incurred or suffered by or asserted against Beneficiary or Trustee by any person or entity or governmental agency for, with respect to, or as a direct or indirect result of, the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release from the Property of any Hazardous Materials or any Hazardous Materials Contamination or arise out of or result from the environmental condition of the Property or the applicability of any Governmental Requirements relating to Hazardous Materials (including without limitation CERCLA or any federal, state, or local so-called "Superfund" or "Superlien" laws, statute, law, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, order of decree), provided, however, that such indemnity shall not apply to matters occurring after Benefiicary of Trustee acquires such Property through a foreclosure sale or has  the Property.  The representations, covenants, warranties, and indemnifications contained in this Article VII shall survive the release of this Deed of Trust.

7.06  Rights of Lender.  Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, prior or subsequent to an Event of Default, without in any way limiting Beneficiary's other rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust, to enter onto the Property or to take such other actions as it deems necessary or advisable to clean up, remove, resolve, or minimize the impact of, or otherwise deal with, any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination on the Property following receipt of any notice from any person or entity asserting the existence of any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination pertaining to the Property or any part thereof which, if true, could reasonably be expected to result in an order, suit, imposition of a lien on the Property, or other action and/or which, in Beneficiary's sole opinion, could jeopardize Beneficiary's security under this Deed of Trust.  All costs and expenses paid or incurred by Beneficiary in the exercise of any such rights shall be Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be payable by Grantor upon demand.

ARTICLE VIII

8.01  Borrower and Lien Not Released.  From time to time, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary's option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Grantor , Grantor 's successors or assigns or any junior lienholder or Guarantor, without liability on Beneficiary's part and notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default, extend the time for payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable on any of the Indebtedness, accept a renewal note or notes therefor, modify the terms and time of payment of the Indebtedness, release from the liens of 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 plan of the Property, consent to the granting of any easement, join in any extension or subordination agreement, and agree in writing with Grantor to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of the Note or change the amount of the installments payable thereunder.  Any actions taken by Beneficiary pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.01 shall not affect the obligation of Grantor or Grantor 's successors or assigns to pay the sums secured by this Deed of Trust and to observe the covenants of Grantor contained herein, shall not affect the guaranty of any person, corporation, partnership, or other entity for payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, and shall not affect the liens or priority of liens of this Deed of Trust on the Property.  Grantor shall pay Beneficiary a reasonable charge, together with such title insurance premiums and attorney's fees as may be incurred at Beneficiary's option, for any such action if taken at Grantor 's request.

8.02  Notice.  Except for any notice required under applicable law to be given in another manner, (a) any notice to Grantor provided for in this Deed of Trust or in the Note shall be given by mailing such notice by United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Grantor at Grantor 's address stated in this Deed of Trust or at such other address as Grantor may designate by notice to Beneficiary as provided herein, and (b) any notice to Beneficiary shall be given by United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Beneficiary at Beneficiary's address stated in this Deed of Trust or to such other address as Beneficiary may designate by notice to Grantor as provided herein.  Any notice provided for in this Deed of Trust or in the Note shall be deemed to have been given to Grantor or Beneficiary when given in the manner designated herein, but actual notice, however given or received, shall always be effective.

8.03  Successors and Assigns Bound.  The covenants and agreements herein contained shall bind, and the rights hereunder shall inure to, the respective successors and assigns of Beneficiary and Grantor subject to the provisions of Section 5.05.

8.04  Joint and Several Liability.  All covenants and agreements of Grantor shall be joint and several.

8.05  Agents.  In exercising any rights hereunder or taking any actions provided for herein, Beneficiary may act through its employees, agents or independent contractors as authorized by Beneficiary.

8.06  Governing Law.  This Deed of Trust shall be governed by the applicable laws of the State of Texas and the United States of America.

8.07  Severability.  In the event that any provision of this instrument or the Note conflicts with applicable law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of this Deed of Trust or the Note which can be given effect without the conflicting provisions, and to this end the provisions of this Deed of Trust and the Note are declared to be severable.

 

8.08  Usury Disclaimer.  The term "Maximum Lawful Rate" means the maximum rate of interest and the term "Maximum Lawful Amount" means the maximum amount of interest that are permissible under applicable state or federal law for the type of loan evidenced by the Note and the other Loan Documents.  Beneficiary does not intend to contract for, charge or receive more than the Maximum Lawful Rate or Maximum Lawful Amount permitted by applicable state or federal law, and to prevent such an occurrence Beneficiary and Grantor agree that all amounts of interest, whenever contracted for, charged or received by Beneficiary, with respect to the loan of money evidenced by the Note or with respect to any other amount payable under this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, shall be spread, prorated or allocated over the full period of time the Note is unpaid, including the period of any renewal or extension of the Note.  If demand for payment of the Note is made by Beneficiary prior to the full stated term, the total amount of interest contracted for, charged or received to the time of such demand shall be spread, prorated or allocated along with any interest thereafter accruing over the full period of time that the Note thereafter remains unpaid for the purpose of determining if such interest exceeds the Maximum Lawful Amount.  At maturity (including maturity due to Beneficiary's acceleration of the Note) or on earlier final payment of the Note, Beneficiary shall compute the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged or received by Beneficiary or payable by Grantor  under this Note and compare such amount to the Maximum Lawful Amount that could have been contracted for, charged or received by Beneficiary.  If such computation reflects that the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged or received by Beneficiary or payable by Grantor  exceeds the Maximum Lawful Amount, then Beneficiary shall apply such excess to the reduction of the principal balance and not to the payment of interest; or if such excess interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance, such excess shall be refunded to Grantor ..  This provision concerning the crediting or refund or excess interest shall control and take precedence over all other agreements between Grantor  and Beneficiary so that under no circumstances shall the total interest contracted for, charged or received by Beneficiary exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount.

8.09  Partial Invalidity.  In the event any portion of the sums intended to be secured by this Deed of Trust cannot be lawfully secured hereby, payments in reduction of such sums shall be applied first to those portions not secured hereby.

8.10  Captions.  The captions and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Deed of Trust are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust.

8.12  Purpose. The Note secured by this Deed of Trust is for (i) the costs of refinancing the purchase price for the property described herein and the Beneficiary is expressly subrogated to all lien rights and priorities of the liens being paid and extended, and (ii) to finance the development costs of the Property, and this deed of trust shall be construed as a construction mortgage for all purposes.  Beneficiary shall have the rights and liens of a construction lender under the laws of the State of Texas.
