   Representations, Warranties and Covenants

1. Grantor represents, warrants, and covenants as follows:

0. Payment and Performance. Grantor will make due and punctual payment of the Secured Indebtedness. Grantor will timely and properly perform and comply with all of the covenants, agreements, and conditions imposed upon it by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and will not permit a default to occur hereunder or thereunder. Time shall be of the essence in this Mortgage.
1. Title and Permitted Encumbrances. Grantor has, in Grantor's own right, and Grantor covenants to maintain, lawful, good and indefeasible title to the Property, is lawfully seized and possessed of the Property and every part thereof, and has the right to convey the same, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims, security interests, and encumbrances except for (i) items set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof, (ii) the liens and security interests evidenced by this Mortgage, (iii) statutory liens for real estate taxes and assessments on the Property which are not yet delinquent, and (iv) other liens and security interests (if any) in favor of Lender, (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) being herein called the "Permitted Encumbrances"). Grantor, and Grantor's successors and assigns, will warrant generally and forever defend title to the Property, subject as aforesaid, to Trustee and his successors or substitutes and assigns, against the claims and demands of all persons claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof. Grantor will punctually pay, perform, observe and keep all covenants, obligations and conditions in or pursuant to any Permitted Encumbrance and will not modify or permit modification of any Permitted Encumbrance without the prior written consent of Holder. Inclusion of any matter as a Permitted Encumbrance does not constitute approval or waiver by Holder of any existing or future violation or other breach thereof by Grantor, by the Property or otherwise. No part of the Property constitutes all or any part of the principal residence of Grantor if Grantor is an individual. If any right or interest of Holder in the Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or questioned or shall be attacked directly or indirectly, Holder and Trustee, or either of them (whether or not named as parties to legal proceedings with respect thereto), are hereby authorized a nd empowered to take such steps as in their discretion may be proper for the defense of any such legal proceedings or the protection of such right or interest of Holder, including but not limited to the employment of independent counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of adverse claims. All expenditures so made of every kind and character shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Grantor hereby promises to pay) owing by Grantor to Holder or Trustee (as the case may be), and the party (Holder or Trustee, as the case may be) making such expenditures shall be subrogated to all rights of the person receiving such payment.
2. Taxes and Other Impositions. Grantor will pay, or cause to be paid, all taxes, assessments and other charges or levies imposed upon or against or with respect to the Property or the ownership, use, occupancy or enjoyment of any portion thereof, or any utility service thereto, as the same become due and payable, including but not limited to all real estate taxes assessed against the Property or any part thereof, and shall deliver promptly to Holder such evidence of the payment thereof as Holder may require, except and only to the extent that the same are being Properly Contested (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
3. Reserve for Insurance, Taxes and Assessments. Upon request of Holder, to secure the payment and performance of the Secured Indebtedness, but not in lieu of such payment and performance, Grantor will deposit with Holder a sum equal to real estate taxes, assessments and charges (which charges for the purposes of this paragraph shall include without limitation any recurring charge which could result in a lien against the Property) against the Property for the current year and the premiums for such policies of insurance for the current year, all as estimated by Holder and prorated to the end of the calendar month following the month during which Holder's request is made, and thereafter will deposit with Holder, on each date when an installment of principal and/or interest is due on the Note, sufficient funds (as estimated from time to time by Holder) to permit Holder to pay at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date thereof, the next maturing real estate taxes, assessments an d charges and premiums for such policies of insurance. Holder shall have the right to rely upon tax information furnished by applicable taxing authorities in the payment of such taxes or assessments and shall have no obligation to make any protest of any such taxes or assessments. To the extent permitted by law, any excess over the amounts required for such purposes shall be held by Holder for future use, applied to any Secured Indebtedness or refunded to Grantor, at Holder's option, and any deficiency in such funds so deposited shall be paid by Grantor to Holder within 10 days following written notice of such deficiency. All such funds so deposited shall bear no interest, may be commingled with the general funds of Holder and shall be applied by Holder toward the payment of such taxes, assessments, charges and premiums when statements therefor are presented to Holder by Grantor (which statements shall be presented by Grantor to Holder a reasonable time before the applicable amount is due); provided, howe ver, that, if a Default shall have occurred hereunder, such funds may at Holder's option be applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in the order determined by Holder in its sole discretion, and that Holder may (but shall have no obligation) at any time, in its discretion, apply all or any part of such funds toward the payment of any such taxes, assessments, charges or premiums which are past due, together with any penalties or late charges with respect thereto. Upon assignment of this Mortgage, Holder shall have the right to assign all amounts collected and in its possession to its assignee whereupon Holder and the Trustee shall be released from all liability with respect thereto. Within sixty (60) days following full repayment of the Secured Indebtedness and satisfaction of its obligations under the Loan Agreement (other than full repayment of the Secured Indebtedness as a consequence of a foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure of the liens and security interests securing the Secured Indebtedness) or at such earlier time as Holder may elect, the balance of all amounts collected and in Holder's possession shall be paid to Grantor and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. The conveyance or transfer of Grantor's interest in the Property for any reason (including without limitation the foreclosure of a subordinate lien or security interest or a transfer by operation of law) shall constitute an assignment or transfer of Grantor's interest in and rights to such funds held by Holder under this paragraph but subject to the rights of Holder hereunder.
4. Condemnation. Grantor shall notify Holder immediately of any threatened or pending proceeding for condemnation affecting the Property or arising out of damage to the Property, and Grantor shall, at Grantor's expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings. Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in any such proceeding and to be represented by counsel of its own choice. Holder shall be entitled to receive all sums which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for the condemnation of the Property, or any part thereof, for public or quasi-public use, or by virtue of private sale in lieu thereof, and any sums which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for injury or damage to the Property. Grantor shall, promptly upon request of Holder, execute such additional assignments and other documents as may be necessary from time to time to permit such participation and to enable Holder to collect and receipt for any such sums. All such sums are hereby assigned to Holder, and shall, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Holder, including attorneys' fees, at Holder's option be (i) released to Grantor, or (ii) applied (upon compliance with such terms and conditions as may be required by Holder) to repair or restoration of the Property so affected, or (iii) applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in such order and manner as Holder, in its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not due. In any event the unpaid portion of the Secured Indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused. Holder shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or to exercise diligence in the collection of any such sum or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Grantor. Holder is hereby authorized, in the name of Grantor, to execute and deliver valid acquittances for, and to appeal from, any such award , judgment or decree. All costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys' fees) incurred by Holder in connection with any condemnation shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor (which Grantor hereby promises to pay) to Holder pursuant to this Mortgage.
5. Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Property and the use, operation and maintenance thereof and all activities thereon do and shall at all times comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (hereinafter defined) (except to the extent any such non-compliance with Legal Requirements could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect [as defined in the Loan Agreement]). The Property is not, and shall not be, dependent on any other property or premises or any interest therein other than the Property to fulfill any requirement of any Legal Requirement. Grantor shall not, by act or omission, permit any building or other improvement not subject to the lien of this Mortgage to rely on the Property or any interest therein to fulfill any requirement of any Legal Requirement. No improvement upon or use of any part of the Property constitutes a nonconforming use under any zoning law or similar law or ordinance. Grantor has obtained and shal l preserve in force all requisite zoning, utility, building, health, environmental and operating permits from the governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Property.

If Grantor receives a notice or claim from any person that the Property, or any use, activity, operation or maintenance thereof or thereon, is not in compliance with any Legal Requirement, Grantor will promptly furnish a copy of such notice or claim to Holder. Grantor has received no notice and has no knowledge of any such noncompliance. As used in this Mortgage: (i) the term "Legal Requirement" means any Law (hereinafter defined), agreement, covenant, restriction, easement or condition (including, without limitation of the foregoing, any condition or requirement imposed by any insurance or surety company), as any of the same now exists or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future; and (ii) the term "Law" means any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, license, permit, authorization, decision, order, injunction or decree, domestic or foreign.

6. Maintenance, Repair and Restoration. Grantor will keep the Property in a good state of order, repair, operating condition and appearance, causing all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements to be promptly made, and will not allow any of the Property to be misused, abused or wasted or to deteriorate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of Holder, (i) remove from the Property any fixtures or personal property covered by this Mortgage except such as is replaced by Grantor by an article of equal suitability and value, owned by Grantor, free and clear of any lien or security interest (except that created by this Mortgage), or (ii) make any structural alteration to the Property or any other alteration thereto which impairs the value thereof. If any act or occurrence of any kind or nature (including any condemnation or any casualty for which insurance was not obtained or obtainable) shall result i n damage to or loss or destruction of the Property, Grantor shall give prompt notice thereof to Holder and Grantor shall promptly, at Grantor's sole cost and expense and regardless of whether insurance or condemnation proceeds (if any) shall be available or sufficient for the purpose, secure the Property as necessary and commence and continue diligently to completion to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to the damage, loss or destruction.
7. No Other Liens. Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of Holder, create, place or permit to be created or placed, or through any act or failure to act, acquiesce in the placing of, or allow to remain, any deed of trust, mortgage, voluntary or involuntary lien, whether statutory, constitutional or contractual, security interest, encumbrance or charge, or conditional sale or other title retention document, against or covering the Property, or any part thereof, other than the Permitted Encumbrances, regardless of whether the same are expressly or otherwise subordinate to the lien or security interest created in this Mortgage, and should any of the foregoing become attached hereafter in any manner to any part of the Property without the prior written consent of Holder, Grantor will cause the same to be promptly discharged and released. Except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Loan Agreement), Grantor will own all parts of the Property and will not acquire any fi xtures, equipment or other property (including software embedded therein) forming a part of the Property pursuant to a lease, license, security agreement or similar agreement, whereby any party has or may obtain the right to repossess or remove same, without the prior written consent of Holder. If Holder consents to the voluntary grant by Grantor of any deed of trust or mortgage, lien, security interest, or other encumbrance (hereinafter called "Subordinate Lien") covering any of the Property or if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable as to a Subordinate Lien, any such Subordinate Lien shall contain express covenants to the effect that: (i) the Subordinate Lien is unconditionally subordinate to this Mortgage and all Leases (hereinafter defined); (ii) if any action (whether judicial or pursuant to a power of sale) shall be instituted to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Lien, no tenant of any of the Leases (hereinafter defined) shall be named as a party defendant, and no action shall be taken that would terminate any occupancy or tenancy without the prior written consent of Holder; (iii) Rents (as defined in Section 3.1), if collected by or for the holder of the Subordinate Lien, shall be applied first to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness then due and expenses incurred in the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property in such order as Holder may determine, prior to being applied to any indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Lien; (iv) written notice of default under the Subordinate Lien 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 Lien or to seek the appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property shall be given to Holder with or immediately after the occurrence of any such default or commencement; and (v) neither the holder of the Subordinate Lien, nor any p urchaser at foreclosure thereunder, nor anyone claiming by, through or under any of them shall succeed to any of Grantor's rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Holder.
8. Operation of Property. Grantor will operate the Property in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements and will pay all fees or charges of any kind in connection therewith. Grantor will keep the Property occupied so as not to impair the insurance carried thereon. Grantor will not use or occupy or conduct any activity on, or allow the use or occupancy of or the conduct of any activity on, the Property in any manner which violates any Legal Requirement or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto. Grantor will not initiate or permit any zoning reclassification of the Property or seek any variance under existing zoning ordinances applicable to the Property or use or permit the use of the Property in such a manner which would result in such use becoming a nonconforming use under applicable zoning ordinances or other Lega l Requirement. Grantor will not impose any easement, restrictive covenant or encumbrance upon the Property, execute or file any subdivision plat or condominium declaration affecting the Property or consent to the annexation of the Property to any municipality, without the prior written consent of Holder. Grantor will not do or suffer to be done any act whereby the value of any part of the Property may be lessened. Grantor will preserve, protect, renew, extend and retain all material rights and privileges granted for or applicable to the Property. Without the prior written consent of Holder, there shall be no drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal or production of any mineral, hydrocarbon, gas, natural element, compound or substance (including sand and gravel) from the surface or subsurface of the Land regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof. Grantor will cause all debts and liabilities of any character (including without limitation all debts and liabilit ies for labor, material and equipment (including software embedded therein) and all debts and charges for utilities servicing the Property) incurred in the construction, maintenance, operation and development of the Property to be promptly paid.
9. Certain Environmental Matters. Grantor shall comply with Environmental Law [as defined in Section 2.1(m)(ii)] pertaining to the Property.

Grantor agrees that, if Grantor fails to perform any act or to take any action which under any Loan Document Grantor is required to perform or take, or to pay any money which under any Loan Document Grantor is required to pay, and such failure then constitutes a default hereunder or thereunder, whether or not the Secured Indebtedness has been accelerated, Holder, in Grantor's name or its own name, may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or cause to be performed such act or take such action or pay such money, and any expenses so incurred by Holder and any money so paid by Holder shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor to Holder (which obligation Grantor hereby promises to pay), shall be a part of the indebtedness secured hereby, and Holder, upon making such payment, shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the person, entity or body politic receiving such payment. Holder and its designees shall have the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for any such purposes.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Holder shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities prior to or after acquisition of title to any portion of the Property, as lessee under any lease or purchaser or seller under any contract or option unless Holder elects otherwise by written notification.
4. Authorization to File Financing Statements; Power of Attorney.

Grantor also ratifies its authorization for Holder to have filed any like initial financing statements, amendments thereto or continuation statements if filed prior to the date of this Mortgage. Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Holder and any officer or agent of Holder, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Grantor or in Grantor's own name to execute in Grantor's name any such documents and to otherwise carry out the purposes of this Section 2.4, to the extent that Grantor's authorization above is not sufficient. To the extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby ratifies all acts said attorneys-in-fact shall lawfully do, have done in the past or cause to be done in the future by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

3. 
   
   Assignment of Rents

1. Assignment. Grantor hereby assigns to Holder all Rents (hereinafter defined). So long as no Default (as defined in Section 4.1) has occurred, Grantor shall have a license (which license shall terminate automatically and without further notice upon the occurrence of a Default), to collect, but not prior to accrual, the Rents under the Leases and, where applicable, subleases, such Rents to be held in trust for Holder, and to otherwise deal with all Leases as permitted by this Mortgage. Each month, provided no Default has occurred, Grantor may retain such Rents as were collected that month and held in trust for Holder; provided, however, that all Rents collected by Grantor shall be applied first to the payment of principal and interest and all other sums due and payable hereunder and under the Loan Documents and then to the ordinary and necessary expenses of owning and operating the Property. Thereafter, Grantor may use the balance of the Rents collected in any manner not inconsistent with the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder, Holder shall have the right, power and privilege (but shall be under no duty) to demand possession of the Rents, which demand shall to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law be sufficient action by Holder to entitle Holder to immediate and direct payment of the Rents (including delivery to Holder of Rents collected for the period in which the demand occurs and for any subsequent period), for application as provided in this Mortgage. Upon the termination of such license, all Rents shall be paid directly to Holder and not through Grantor, all without the necessity of any further action by Holder, including, without limitation, any action to obtain possession of the Land, Improvements or any other portion of the Property or any action for the appointment of a receiver. Grantor hereby authorizes and directs the tenants under the Leases to pay Rents to Holder upon written demand by Holder, with out further consent of Grantor, without any obligation of such tenants to determine whether a Default has in fact occurred and regardless of whether Holder has taken possession of any portion of the Property, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement delivered by Holder to the tenants. Any such payments to Holder shall constitute payments to Grantor under the Leases, and Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Holder as its attorney-in-fact to do all things, after a Default, which Grantor might otherwise do with respect to the Property and the Leases thereon, including, without limitation, (i) collecting Rents with or without suit and applying the same, less expenses of collection, to any of the obligations secured hereby or sums due hereunder or under the Loan Documents or to expenses of operating and maintaining the Property (including reasonable reserves for anticipated expenses), at the option of Holder, all in such manner as may be determined by Holder, or at the option of Holder, holding th e same as security for the payment of the Secured Obligations, (ii) leasing, in the name of Grantor, the whole or any part of the Property which may become vacant, and (iii) employing agents therefor and paying such agents reasonable compensation for their services. The powers and rights granted in this paragraph shall be in addition to the other remedies herein provided for upon the occurrence of a Default and may be exercised independently of or concurrently with any of said remedies. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed to impose any obligation upon Holder to exercise any power or right granted in this paragraph or to assume any liability under any Lease of any part of the Property and no liability shall attach to Holder for failure or inability to collect any Rents under any such Lease. The assignment contained in this Section shall become null and void upon the release of this Mortgage. As used herein "Rents" means all of the rents, revenue, income, profits and proceeds deriv ed and to be derived from the Property or arising from the use or enjoyment of any portion thereof or from any Lease, including but not limited to the proceeds from any negotiated lease termination or buyout of such Lease, liquidated damages following default under any such Lease, all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by damage to any part of the Property, all of Grantor's rights to recover monetary amounts from any tenant in bankruptcy including, without limitation, rights of recovery for use and occupancy and damage claims arising out of Lease defaults, including rejections, under any applicable Debtor Relief Law (hereinafter defined), together with any sums of money that may now or at any time hereafter be or become due and payable to Grantor by virtue of any and all royalties, overriding royalties, bonuses, delay rentals and any other amount of any kind or character arising under any and all present and all future oil, gas, mineral and mining leases covering the Property or any part thereof, and all proceeds and other amounts paid or owing to Grantor under or pursuant to any and all contracts and bonds relating to the construction or renovation of the Property.
2. Covenants, Representations and Warranties Concerning Leases and Rents. Grantor covenants, represents and warrants that: (a) Grantor has good title to, and is the owner of the entire landlord's interest in, the Leases and Rents hereby assigned and authority to assign them; (b) all Leases are valid and enforceable, and in full force and effect, and are unmodified except as stated therein; (c) neither Grantor nor any tenant in the Property is in default under its Lease (and no event has occurred which with the passage of time or notice or both would result in a default under its Lease) or is the subject of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding; (d) unless otherwise stated in a Permitted Encumbrance, no Rents or Leases have been or will be assigned, mortgaged, pledged or otherwise encumbered and no other person has or will acquire any right, title or interest in such Rents or Leases; (e) no Rents have been waived, released, discounted, set off o r compromised; (f) except as stated in the Leases, Grantor has not received any funds or deposits from any tenant for which credit has not already been made on account of accrued Rents; (g) Grantor shall perform all of its obligations under the Leases and enforce the tenants' obligations under the Leases to the extent enforcement is prudent under the circumstances; (h) Grantor will not without the prior written consent of Holder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, enter into any Lease after the date hereof, or waive, release, discount, set off, compromise, reduce or defer any Rent, receive or collect Rents more than one (1) month in advance, grant any rent-free period to any tenant, reduce any Lease term or waive, release or otherwise modify any other material obligation under any Lease, renew or extend any Lease except in accordance with a right of the tenant thereto in such Lease, approve or consent to an assignment of a Lease or a subletting of any part of the premi ses covered by a Lease, or settle or compromise any claim against a tenant under a Lease in bankruptcy or otherwise; (i) Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of Holder, terminate or consent to the cancellation or surrender of any Lease having an unexpired term of one (1) year or more; (j) Grantor will not execute any Lease except in accordance with the Loan Documents and for actual occupancy by the tenant thereunder; (k) Grantor shall give prompt notice to Holder, as soon as Grantor first obtains notice, of any claim, or the commencement of any action, by any tenant or subtenant under or with respect to a Lease regarding any claimed damage, default, diminution of or offset against Rent, cancellation of the Lease, or constructive eviction, excluding, however, notices of default under residential Leases, and Grantor shall defend, at Grantor's expense, any proceeding pertaining to any Lease, including, if Holder so requests, any such proceeding to which Holder is a party; (l)  Grantor shall as often as requested by Holder, within ten (10) days of each request, deliver to Holder a complete rent roll of the Property in such detail as Holder may require and financial statements of the tenants, subtenants and guarantors under the Leases to the extent available to Grantor, and deliver to such of the tenants and others obligated under the Leases specified by Holder written notice of the assignment in Section 3.1 hereof in form and content satisfactory to Holder; (m) promptly upon request by Holder, Grantor shall deliver to Holder executed originals of all Leases and copies of all records relating thereto; (n) there shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created by the Leases, with the fee estate of the Land without the prior written consent of Holder; and (o) Holder may at any time and from time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose, unilaterally subordinate the lien of this Mortgage to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, o r 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; and nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating this Mortgage to any Lease.
3. Estoppel Certificates. All Leases shall require the tenant to execute and deliver to Holder an estoppel certificate in form and substance acceptable to Holder within fifteen (15) days after notice from Holder.
4. No Liability of Holder. Holder's acceptance of this assignment shall not be deemed to constitute Holder a "mortgagee in possession," nor obligate Holder to appear in or defend any proceeding relating to any Lease or to the Property, or to take any action hereunder, expend any money, incur any expenses, or perform any obligation or liability under any Lease, or assume any obligation for any deposit delivered to Grantor by any tenant and not as such delivered to and accepted by Holder. Holder shall not be liable for any injury or damage to person or property in or about the Property, or for Holder's failure to collect or to exercise diligence in collecting Rents, but shall be accountable only for Rents that it shall actually receive. Neither the assignment of Leases and Rents nor enforcement of Holder's rights regarding Leases and Rents (including collection of Rents) nor possession of the Property by Holder nor Holder's consent to or approval of any Lease (nor all of the same) , shall render Holder liable on any obligation under or with respect to any Lease or constitute affirmation of, or any subordination to, any Lease, occupancy, use or option. If Holder seeks or obtains any judicial relief regarding Rents or Leases, the same shall in no way prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate rights or remedies nor shall same constitute an election of judicial relief for any foreclosure or any other purpose. Holder neither has nor assumes any obligations as lessor or landlord with respect to any Lease. The rights of Holder under this Article 3 shall be cumulative of all other rights of Holder under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

4.

2. Abandonment. The owner of the Property abandons any of the Property.
3. Default Under Other Lien.

1. Enforcement of Assignment of Rents. In addition to the rights of Holder under Article 3 hereof, prior or subsequent to taking possession of any portion of the Property or taking any action with respect to such possession, Holder may: (i) collect and/or sue for the Rents in Holder's own name, give receipts and releases therefor, and after deducting all expenses of collection, including attorneys' fees and expenses, apply the net proceeds thereof to the Secured Indebtedness in such manner and order as Holder may elect and/or to the operation and management of the Property, including the payment of management, brokerage and attorney's fees and expenses; and (ii) require Grantor to transfer all security deposits and records thereof to Holder together with original counterparts of the Leases.
2. Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence of a default, Trustee, or his successor or substitute, is authorized and empowered and it shall be his special duty at the request of Holder to sell the Property or any part thereof situated in the State of Texas, at the courthouse of any county (whether or not the counties in which the Property is located are contiguous, if the Property is located in more than one county) in the State of Texas in which any part of the Property is situated, at public venue to the highest bidder for cash between the hours of ten o'clock a.m. and four o'clock p.m. on the first Tuesday in any month or at such other place, time and date as provided by the statutes of the State of Texas then in force governing sales of real estate under powers of sale conferred by deed of trust, after having given notice of such sale in accordance with such statutes. Any sale made by Trustee hereunder may be as an entirety or in such parcels as Holder may request. To the extent pe rmitted 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. 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 sale or 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 Secured Indebtedness and the expense of executing this trust as provided herein, this Deed of Trust and the lien 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 Holder shall have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than the whole of the Property. Trustee may, aft er any request or direction by Holder, 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. After each sale, Trustee shall make to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale good and sufficient conveyances in the name of Grantor, conveying the property so sold to the purchaser or purchasers with general warranty of title of Grantor, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances (and to such leases and other matters, if any, as Trustee may elect upon request of Holder), and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the same as herein provided. Payment of the purchase price to the Trustee shall satisfy the obligation of purchaser at such sale t herefor, and such purchaser shall not be responsible for the application thereof. The power of sale granted herein shall not be exhausted by any sale held hereunder by Trustee or his substitute or successor, and such power of sale may be exercised from time to time and as many times as Holder may deem necessary until all of the Property has been duly sold and all Secured Indebtedness has been fully paid. In the event any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Holder, such sale shall not exhaust the power of sale hereunder and Holder shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made hereunder. Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any deed or deeds or other conveyances given by Trustee or any successor or substitute appointed hereunder as to nonpayment of the Secured Indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to Holder's having declared all of said indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to the request to sell, or as to notic e of time, place and terms of sale and the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to the refusal, failure or inability to act of Trustee or any substitute or successor trustee, or as to the appointment of any substitute or successor trustee, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Holder or by such Trustee, substitute or successor, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited. 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 succes sor or substitute Trustee conducting the sale.
3. Uniform Commercial Code. Without limitation of Holder's rights of enforcement with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the procedures for foreclosure of real estate, Holder may exercise its rights of enforcement with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof under the UCC, as in effect from time to time (or under the Uniform Commercial Code in force, from time to time, in any other state to the extent the same is applicable law) and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights and remedies: (i) Holder may enter upon Grantor's premises to take possession of, assemble and collect the Collateral or, to the extent and for those items of the Collateral permitted under applicable law, to render it unusable; (ii) Holder may require Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available at a place Holder designates which is mutually convenient to allow Holder to take possession or dispose of the Collateral; (iii)& nbsp;written notice mailed to Grantor as provided herein at least ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of the Collateral or prior to the date after which private sale of the Collateral will be made shall constitute reasonable notice; provided that, if Holder fails to comply with this clause (iii) in any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of law under the UCC, as in effect from time to time (or under the Uniform Commercial Code, in force from time to time, in any other state to the extent the same is applicable law); (iv) any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with and upon the same notice as required for the sale of the Property under power of sale as provided in paragraph (c) above in this Section 5.1; (v) in the event of a foreclosure sale, wheth er made by Trustee under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court, the Collateral and the other Property may, at the option of Holder, be sold as a whole; (vi) it shall not be necessary that Holder take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the Collateral or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale; (vii) with respect to application of proceeds from disposition of the Collateral under Section 5.2 hereof, the costs and expenses incident to disposition shall include the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses (including, without limitation, the allocated costs for in-house legal services) incurred by Holder; (viii) any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrum ent evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of the Secured Indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to Holder having declared all of such indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and of the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Holder, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited; (ix) Holder 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 Holder, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of Holder; (x) Holder may comply with any applicable state or federal law or regulatory requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to affect adversely the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral; (xi) Holder may sell th e Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral, and specifically disclaim all warranties including, without limitation, warranties relating to title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like, and all warranties of quality, merchantability and fitness for a specific purpose, and this procedure will not be considered to affect adversely the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral; (xii) Grantor acknowledges that a private sale of the Collateral may result in less proceeds than a public sale; and (xiii) Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral may be sold at a loss to Grantor, and that, in such event, Holder shall have no liability or responsibility to Grantor for such loss.
4. Lawsuits. Holder may proceed by a suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for collection of the indebtedness secured hereby, the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder or for the sale of the Property under the judgment or decree of any court or courts of competent jurisdiction.
5. Entry on Property. Holder is authorized, prior or subsequent to the institution of any foreclosure proceedings, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to enter upon the Property, or any part thereof, and to take possession of the Property and all books and records, and all recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium of recording including, without limitation, all software, writings, plans, specifications and schematics relating thereto, and to exercise without interference from Grantor any and all rights which Grantor has with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection or preservation of the Property. Holder shall not be deemed to have taken possession of the Property or any part thereof except upon the exercise of its right to do so, and then only to the extent evidenced by its demand and overt act specifically for such purpose. All costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by Holder in managing, operating, ma intaining, protecting or preserving the Property shall constitute a demand obligation of Grantor (which obligation Grantor hereby promises to pay) to Holder pursuant to this Mortgage. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, Holder may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess Grantor. In connection with any action taken by Holder pursuant to this Section, Holder shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Grantor resulting from any failure to let the Property or any part thereof, or from any act or omission of Holder in managing the Property unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of Holder, nor shall Holder be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of Grantor arising under any lease or other agreement relating to the Property or arising under any Permitted Encumbrance or otherwise arising. Grantor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of Holder with respect to the Property taken under this Section.

6. Receiver. Holder shall as a matter of right be entitled to the immediate and continuing right to the appointment of a receiver or receivers for all or any part of the Property by ex parte application, without notice, the right to such notice being expressly waived, whether such receivership be incident to a proposed sale (or sales) of such property or otherwise, and without regard to the value of the Property or the solvency of any person or persons liable for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and Grantor does hereby irrevocably consent to the appointment of such receiver or receivers, waives notice of such appointment, of any request therefor or hearing in connection therewith, and any and all defenses to such appointment, agrees not to oppose any application therefor by Holder, and agrees that such appointment shall in no manner impair, prejudice or otherwise affect the rights of Holder to application of Rents as provided in this Mortgage. Nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Holder of any other right, remedy or privilege it may have under the law to have a receiver appointed. Any money advanced by Holder in connection with any such receivership shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Grantor hereby promises to pay) owing by Grantor to Holder pursuant to this Mortgage.
7. Termination of Commitment to Lend. Holder may terminate any commitment or obligation to lend or disburse funds under any Loan Document or enter into any other credit arrangement to or for the benefit of Grantor.
8. Other Rights and Remedies. Holder may exercise any and all other rights and remedies which Holder may have under the Loan Documents, or at law or in equity or otherwise.

2. Proceeds of Foreclosure. The proceeds of any sale held by Trustee or Holder or any receiver or public officer in foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced hereby shall be applied in accordance with the requirements of applicable laws and to the extent consistent therewith, FIRST, to the payment of all necessary costs and expenses incident to such foreclosure sale, including but not limited to all attorneys' fees and legal expenses, advertising costs, auctioneer's fees, costs of title rundowns and lien searches, inspection fees, appraisal costs, fees for professional services, environmental assessment and remediation fees, insurance fees, costs of repairs, maintenance, inspection and testing fees, receivers and management fees, leasing and sales commissions, advertising costs and expenses, taxes and assessments, surveys, engineering studies and reports, engineering fees and expenses, soils tests, space planning costs and expenses, contractors fees, all other cost s incurred by Lender to maintain, preserve and protect the Property, all court costs and charges of every character, and a reasonable fee (not exceeding five percent (5%) of the gross proceeds of such sale) to any special master, or to Trustee acting under the provisions of Section 5.1(c) if foreclosed by power of sale as provided in said paragraph, and to the payment of the other Secured Indebtedness, including specifically without limitation the principal, accrued interest and attorneys' fees due and unpaid on the Note and the amounts due and unpaid and owed to Holder under this Mortgage and the amounts due and unpaid and owed to Holder (or its affiliates) under any Swap Transaction, the order and manner of application to the items in this clause, all with interest as set forth in Section 2.2, FIRST to be in Holder's sole discretion; and SECOND, the remainder, if any there shall be, shall be paid to Grantor, or to Grantor's heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assigns, or such other persons (including the holder or beneficiary of any inferior lien) as may be entitled thereto by law; provided, however, that if Holder is uncertain which person or persons are so entitled, Holder may interplead such remainder in any court of competent jurisdiction, and the amount of any attorneys' fees, court costs and expenses incurred in such action shall be a part of the Secured Indebtedness and shall be reimbursable (without limitation) from such remainder.
3. Holder as Purchaser. Holder shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held by Trustee or substitute or successor or by any receiver or public officer or at any public sale, and Holder shall have the right to credit upon the amount of Holder's successful bid, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid, all or any part of the Secured Indebtedness in such manner and order as Holder may elect.
4. Foreclosure as to Matured Debt. Upon the occurrence of a default, Holder shall have the right to proceed with foreclosure (judicial or nonjudicial) of the liens and security interests hereunder without declaring the entire Secured Indebtedness due, and in such event any such foreclosure sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the Secured Indebtedness; and any such sale shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the Secured Indebtedness, but as to such unmatured part this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had been made. The proceeds of such sale shall be applied as provided in Section 5.2 hereof except that the amount paid under clause FIRST thereof shall be only the matured portion of the Secured Indebtedness and any proceeds of such sale in excess of those provided for in clause FIRST (modified as provided above) shall be applied to the prepayment (without penalty) of any other Secured Indebtedn ess in such manner and order and to such extent as Holder deems advisable, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied as provided in clause SECOND of Section 5.2 hereof. Several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of the Secured Indebtedness.
5. Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies provided for herein and in any other Loan Document are cumulative of each other and of any and all other rights and remedies existing at law or in equity, and Trustee and Holder shall, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein or in any other Loan Document, be entitled to avail themselves of all such other rights and remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity for the collection of the Secured Indebtedness and the enforcement of the covenants herein and the foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced hereby, and the resort to any right or remedy provided for hereunder or under any such other Loan Document or provided for by law or in equity shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate right or rights or remedy or remedies.
6. Discretion as to Security. Holder may resort to any security given by this Mortgage or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the Secured Indebtedness, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Holder in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, and any such action shall not in anywise be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits, liens or security interests evidenced by this Mortgage.
7. Grantor's Waiver of Certain Rights. To the full extent Grantor may do so, Grantor agrees that Grantor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, homestead, moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling or forbearance, and Grantor, for Grantor, Grantor's heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the Secured Indebtedness, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the Secured Indebtedness and all rights to a marshaling of assets of Grantor, including the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens an d/or security interests hereby created. Grantor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents, or other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Holder under the terms of this Mortgage to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Secured Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Holder under the terms of this Mortgage to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. Grantor waives any right or remedy which Grantor may have or be able to assert pursuant to any provision of any statute or rule of law pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties. If any law referred to in this Section and now in force, of which Grantor or Grantor's heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assig ns or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property might take advantage despite this Section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section.
8. Delivery of Possession After Foreclosure. In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale, Grantor or Grantor's heirs, devisees, representatives, or successors as owners of the Property are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, each and all shall immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day to day, terminable at the will of purchaser, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the property occupied, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser; and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the purchaser at such sale shall, notwithstanding any language herein apparently to the contrary, have the sole option to demand immediate possession following the sale or to permit the occupants to remain as tenants at will. After such foreclosure, any Leases to tenants or subtenants that are subject to this Mortgage (either by their date, their express terms, or by agreeme nt of the tenant or subtenant) shall, at the sole option of Holder or any purchaser at such sale, either (i) continue in full force and effect, and the tenant(s) or subtenant(s) thereunder will, upon request, attorn to and acknowledge in writing to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales as landlord thereunder, or (ii) upon notice to such effect from Holder, the Trustees or any purchaser or purchasers, terminate within thirty (30) days from the date of sale. In the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of the Property upon demand, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain a summary action for possession of the Property (such as an action for forcible detainer) in any court having jurisdiction.

6. 
   
   Miscellaneous

1. Scope of Mortgage. This Mortgage is a deed of trust and mortgage of both real and personal property, a security agreement, an assignment of rents and leases, a financing statement and fixture filing and a collateral assignment, and also covers proceeds and fixtures.
2. Effective as a Financing Statement. This Mortgage shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with respect to all fixtures included within the Property and is to be filed for record in the real estate records of each county where any part of the Property (including said fixtures) is situated. This Mortgage shall also be effective as a financing statement covering as-extracted collateral (including oil and gas) , accounts and general intangibles under the UCC, as, in effect from time to time, and the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect from time to time, in any other state where the Property is situated which will be financed at the wellhead or minehead of the wells or mines located on the Property and is to be filed for record in the real estate records of each county where any part of the Property is situated. This Mortgage shall also be effective as a financing statement covering any other Property and may be filed in any other appropriate filing or recording office. The mailing address of Grantor and Lender are set forth at the end of this Mortgage. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Mortgage or of any financing statement relating to this Mortgage shall be sufficient as a financing statement for any of the purposes referred to in this Section.
3. Notice to Account Debtors. In addition to the rights granted elsewhere in this Mortgage, Holder may at any time notify the account debtors or obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness included in the Collateral to pay Holder directly.
4. Waiver by Holder. Holder may at any time and from time to time by a specific writing intended for the purpose: (i) waive compliance by Grantor with any covenant herein made by Grantor to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing; (ii) consent to Grantor's doing any act which hereunder Grantor is prohibited from doing, or to Grantor's failing to do any act which hereunder Grantor is required to do, to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing; (iii) release any part of the Property or any interest therein from the lien and security interest of this Mortgage, without the joinder of Trustee; or (iv) release any party liable, either directly or indirectly, for the Secured Indebtedness or for any covenant herein or in any other Loan Document, without impairing or releasing the liability of any other party. No such act shall in any way affect the rights or powers of Holder or Trustee hereunder except to the extent specifically agreed to by Holder in such writing.
5. No Impairment of Security. The lien, security interest and other security rights of Holder hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall not be impaired by any indulgence, moratorium or release granted by Holder including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension or modification which Holder may grant with respect to any Secured Indebtedness, or any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Holder may grant in respect of the Property, or any part thereof or any interest therein, or any release or indulgence granted to any endorser, guarantor or surety of any Secured Indebtedness. The taking of additional security by Holder shall not release or impair the lien, security interest or other security rights of Holder hereunder or affect the liability of Grantor or of any endorser, guarantor or surety, or improve the right of any junior lienholder in the Property (without implying hereby Holder's consent to any junior lien).
6. Acts Not Constituting Waiver by Holder. Holder may waive any default without waiving any other prior or subsequent default. Holder may remedy any default without waiving the default remedied. Neither failure by Holder to exercise, nor delay by Holder in exercising, nor discontinuance of the exercise of any right, power or remedy (including but not limited to the right to accelerate the maturity of the Secured Indebtedness or any part thereof) upon or after any default shall be construed as a waiver of such default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Holder of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Holder and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, for the purpose for which given and to the extent therein specified. No notice to nor demand on Grantor in any case shall of itself entitle Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Remittances in payment of any part of the Secured Indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Holder in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Holder of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any Secured Indebtedness shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and sha ll not in any way excuse the existence of a default hereunder notwithstanding any notation on or accompanying such partial payment to the contrary.
7. Grantor's Successors. If the ownership of the Property or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than Grantor, Holder may, without notice to Grantor, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Mortgage and to the Secured Indebtedness in the same manner as with Grantor, without in any way vitiating or discharging Grantor's liability hereunder or for the payment of the indebtedness or performance of the obligations secured hereby. No transfer of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Holder, and no extension of the time for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness given by Holder shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect, in whole or in part, the liability of Grantor hereunder for the payment of the indebtedness or performance of the obligations secured hereby or the liability of any other person hereunder for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby. Each Grantor agrees that it shall be bound by any modifi cation of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents made by Holder and any subsequent owner of the Property, with or without notice to such Grantor, and no such modifications shall impair the obligations of such Grantor under this Mortgage or any other Loan Document. Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Mortgage shall be construed to imply Holder's consent to any transfer of the Property.
8. Place of Payment; Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial. All Secured Indebtedness which may be owing hereunder at any time by Grantor shall be payable at the place designated in the Note (or if no such designation is made, at the address of Holder indicated at the end of this Mortgage). Grantor hereby irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally for itself and in respect of its property to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any State court, or any United States federal court, sitting in the county in which the Secured Indebtedness is payable, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any State court or any United States federal court sitting in the state in which any of the Property is located, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Mortgage or the Secured Indebtedness. Grantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Grantor may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such court and any claim t hat any such court is an inconvenient forum. Grantor hereby agrees and consents that, in addition to any methods of service of process provided for under applicable law, all service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding in any State court in which the Mortgaged Property is located, or any United States federal court, sitting in the State in which the Secured Indebtedness is payable may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to Grantor at its address stated at the end of this Mortgage, or at a subsequent address of Grantor of which Holder received actual notice from Grantor in accordance with this Mortgage, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same shall have been so mailed. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Holder to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of Holder to bring proceedings against Grantor in any other court or jurisdiction. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GRANTOR WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS DEED OF TRUST OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.
9. Subrogation to Existing Liens; Vendor's/Purchase Money Lien. To the extent that proceeds of the Note are used to pay indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against the Property, such proceeds have been advanced by Holder at Grantor's request, and Holder shall be subrogated to any and all rights, security interests and liens owned by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances, however remote, irrespective of whether said liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances are released, and all of the same are recognized as valid and subsisting and are renewed and continued and merged herein to secure the Secured Indebtedness, but the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall govern and control the manner and terms of enforcement of the liens, security interests, charges and encumbrances to which Holder is subrogated hereunder. It is expressly understood that, in consideration of the payment of such indebtedness by Holder, Grantor hereby waives and releases all demands and causes of action for offsets and payments in connection with the said indebtedness. If all or any portion of the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Note or of any other secured indebtedness has been advanced for the purpose of paying the purchase price for all or a part of the Property, no vendor's lien is waived; and Holder shall have, and is hereby granted, a vendor's lien on the Property as cumulative additional security for the secured indebtedness. Holder may foreclose under this Mortgage or under the vendor's lien without waiving the other or may foreclose under both.
10. Application of Payments to Certain Indebtedness. If any part of the Secured Indebtedness cannot be lawfully secured by this Mortgage or if any part of the Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security interest hereof to the full extent of such indebtedness, then all payments made shall be applied on said indebtedness first in discharge of that portion thereof which is not secured by this Mortgage.
11. Nature of Loan; Compliance with Usury Laws. The loan evidenced by the Note is being made solely for the purpose of carrying on or acquiring a business or commercial enterprise. It is the intent of Grantor and Holder and all other parties to the Loan Documents to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements between Holder and Grantor (or any other party liable with respect to any indebtedness under the Loan Documents) are hereby limited by the provisions of this Section which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment, default, demand for payment, or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, chargeable, or received under this Mortgage, the Note or any other Loan Document or otherwise, exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest permitted by the law of the State of Texas (the "Maximum Amount"). If, from any possible construction of any document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the Maximum Amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and such document shall ipso facto be automatically reformed and the interest payable shall be automatically reduced to the Maximum Amount, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If Holder shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest under the law of the State of Texas and which would apart from this provision be in excess of the Maximum Amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Secured Indebtedness in the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to Grantor or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such a mount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal. The right to accelerate maturity of the Note or any other Secured Indebtedness does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Holder does not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of acceleration.
