Section 6.7. OTHER RIGHTS, ETC.
(a) The failure of Lender or Trustee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Deed of Trust.

(c) Lender may resort for the payment and performance of the Obligations (including, but not limited to the payment of the Debt) to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender or Trustee may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender or Trustee thereafter to foreclose this Deed of Trust. The rights of Lender or Trustee under this Deed of Trust shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others.

PART II
ARTICLE 15 — STATE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Section 15.1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Article 16 and the other terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust, the terms and conditions of this Article 16 shall control and be binding.
Section 15.2. FORECLOSURE AND SALE.
(a) Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Trustee, his successor or substitute, is authorized and empowered and it shall be his special duty at the request of Lender to sell the Property or any part thereof situated in the State of Texas at the courthouse of any 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 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on the first Tuesday in any month after having given notice of such sale in accordance with the statutes of the State of Texas then in force governing sales of real estate under powers conferred by deed of trust. The sale must begin at the time stated in the notice of sale or not later than three hours after that time. Any sale made by Trustee hereunder may be as an entirety or in such parcels as Lender may request, and 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. Further, any sale made by Trustee hereunder may, in lieu of cash, be upon such other terms and conditions as Lender may from time to time hereafter elect. 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 indebtedness secured hereby 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 Lender shall have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than the whole of the Property. After each sale, Trustee shall make to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale good and sufficient conveyances in the name of Lender, conveying the property so sold to the purchaser or purchasers in fee simple with general warranty of title, and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the same as herein provided. Payment of the purchase price to Trustee shall satisfy the obligation of purchaser at such sale therefor, and such purchaser shall not be responsible for the application thereof. In the event any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Lender, such sale shall not exhaust the power of sale hereunder and Lender 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 given by Trustee or any successor or substitute appointed hereunder as to nonpayment of the indebtedness secured hereby, or as to the occurrence of any Event of Default, or as to Lender having declared all of such indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to the request to sell, 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 the refusal, failure or inability to act of Trustee or any substitute or successor, or as to the appointment of any substitute or successor trustee, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Lender or by such Trustee, substitute or successor, shall be taken as conclusive (absent manifest error) evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited. Trustee, 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.
| 25 |
(b) Right to Require Proof of Financial Ability. At any time during the bidding of any sale conducted by Trustee under paragraph 16.2(a) above, Trustee may require a bidding party (a) to disclose its full name, state and city of residence, occupation, and specific business office location, and the name and address of the principal the bidding party is representing (if applicable); and (b) to demonstrate reasonable evidence of the bidding party’s financial ability (or, if applicable, the financial ability of the principal of such bidding party), as a condition to the bidding party submitting bids at the foreclosure sale. If any such bidding party (the “Questioned Bidder”) declines to comply with Trustee’s requirement in this regard, or if such Questioned Bidder does respond but Trustee, in Trustee’s sole and absolute discretion, deems the information or the evidence of the financial ability of the Questioned Bidder (or, if applicable, the principal of such bidding party) to be inadequate, Trustee may continue the bidding with reservation; and in such event (i) Trustee shall be authorized to caution the Questioned Bidder concerning the legal obligations to be incurred in submitting bids, and (ii) if the Questioned Bidder is not the highest bidder at the sale, or if having been the highest bidder the Questioned Bidder fails to deliver the cash purchase price payment promptly to Trustee, all bids by the Questioned Bidder shall be null and void. Trustee may, in Trustee’s sole and absolute discretion, determine that a credit bid may be in the best interest of Grantor and Lender and elect to sell the Property for credit or for a combination of cash and credit; provided, however, that Trustee shall have no obligation to accept any bid except an all cash bid. In the event Trustee requires a cash bid and cash is not delivered within a reasonable time after conclusion of the bidding process, as specified by Trustee (but in no event later than 3:45 p.m. local time on the date of sale), then said contingent sale shall be null and void, the bidding process may be recommenced, and any subsequent bids or sale shall be made as if no prior bids were made or accepted.
(c) Judicial Foreclosure. This Deed of Trust shall be effective as a mortgage as well as a deed of trust and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default may be foreclosed as to any of the Property in any manner permitted by the laws of the State of Texas or of any other state in which any part of the Property is situated, and any foreclosure suit may be brought by Trustee or by Lender. In the event a foreclosure hereunder shall be commenced by Trustee or his substitute or successor, Lender may at any time before the sale of the Property direct the said Trustee to abandon the sale, and may then institute suit for the collection of the Note and the other secured indebtedness, and for the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust. It is agreed that if Lender should institute a suit for the collection of the Note or any other secured indebtedness and for the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, Lender may at any time before the entry of a final judgment in said suit dismiss the same, and require Trustee, his substitute or successor to sell the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust.
(d) Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any sale held by Trustee or any receiver or public officer in foreclosure of the liens evidenced hereby shall be applied:
| 26 |
FIRST, to the payment of all necessary costs and expenses incident to such foreclosure sale, including but not limited to all court costs and charges of every character in the event foreclosed by suit, and a reasonable fee to Trustee acting under the provisions of this Section 16.2 if foreclosed by power of sale as provided in said paragraph, not exceeding one percent (1%) of the proceeds of such sale;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the Debt (including specifically without limitation the principal, interest and attorneys’ fees due and unpaid on the Note and the amounts due and unpaid and owed to Lender under this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents) in such order as Lender may elect, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; and
THIRD, the remainder, if any, there shall be, shall be paid to Grantor or to such other party or parties as may be entitled thereto by law.
(e) Lender as Purchaser. Lender shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held by any Trustee or substitute or successor or by any receiver or public officer, and any Lender purchasing at any such sale shall have the right to credit upon the amount of the bid made therefor, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid, the Debt owing to such Lender, or if such Lender holds less than all of the Debt the pro rata part thereof owing to such Lender, accounting to all other beneficiaries of this Deed of Trust not joining in such bid in cash for the portion of such bid or bids apportionable to such non-bidding beneficiaries.
(f) Uniform Commercial Code. Upon the occurrence and during a continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise its rights of enforcement under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Personal Property, and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights and remedies:
(i) Lender may enter upon the Property to take possession of, assemble and collect the Personal Property or to render it unusable;
(ii) Lender may require Grantor to assemble the Personal Property and make it available at a place Lender designates which is mutually convenient to allow Lender to take possession or dispose of the Personal Property;
(iii) written notice mailed to Grantor as provided herein ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of the Personal Property or prior to the date after which private sale of the Personal Property will be made shall constitute reasonable notice;
(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 the sale of the Property under power of sale as provided herein upon giving the same notice with respect to the sale of the Personal Property hereunder as is required for such sale of the Property under power of sale;
(v) in the event of a foreclosure sale, whether made by Trustee under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court, the Personal Property and the remainder of the Property may, at the option of Lender, be sold as a whole;
| 27 |
(vi) it shall not be necessary that Lender take possession of the Personal Property or any part thereof prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the Personal Property or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale;
(vii) prior to application of proceeds of disposition of the Personal Property to the secured indebtedness, such proceeds shall be applied to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Lender;
(viii) any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder as to non-payment of the indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any Event of Default, or as to Lender 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 Lender, shall absent manifest error be taken as conclusive evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited; and
(ix) Lender may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Lender, including the sending of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of Lender.
(g) Partial Foreclosure. In the event of a default in the payment of any part of the Debt, Lender shall have the right to proceed with foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced hereby without declaring the entire Debt due, and in such event any such foreclosure sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the Debt; and any such sale shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the Debt, but as to such unmatured part, this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had been made. The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied as provided in Section 16.2(d) except that the amount paid under subparagraph SECOND thereof shall be only the matured portion of the Debt and any proceeds of such sale in excess of those provided for in subparagraphs FIRST and SECOND (modified as provided above) shall be applied to installments of principal of and interest on the Note in the inverse order of maturity. Several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of the Debt.
(h) Waiver.
(i) 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 pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Grantor, for Grantor and 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 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 intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and all rights to a marshaling of the assets of Grantor, including the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby created.
| 28 |
(ii) 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 whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the terms of this Deed of Trust to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Lender under the terms of this Deed of Trust to the payment of such indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatever.
(iii) To the extent that Grantor, any partner thereof or any other entity responsible for the payment of the Debt is now, or at any time or from time to time hereafter is, a partnership, Grantor and Lender expressly acknowledge and agree that Lender is not required to comply with Section 3.05(d) of the Texas Revised Partnership Act, as same may be hereafter amended or modified, or any other or further laws, rules or regulations now or hereafter in effect which may limit the rights and remedies of a creditor to pursue partners of a partnership prior to the pursuit of such creditor’s rights and remedies against such partnership.
(iv) If any law referred to in this paragraph and now in force, of which Grantor or Grantor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns and such other persons claiming any interest in the Property might take advantage despite this paragraph, shall hereafter be repealed and cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this paragraph.
(v) Grantor hereby waives notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration, and agrees that Lender may foreclose the lien of this Deed of Trust without sending either of such notices.
(i) 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, successors or assigns or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Grantor 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 either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the property occupied, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser. In the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of said property upon demand, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for forcible entry and detainer of said property in the Justice of the Peace Court in the Justice Precinct in which such property, or any part thereof, is situated.
(j) Waiver of Deficiency Statute. Subject in any event to the provisions of Section 11.22 of the Loan Agreement:
| 29 |
(i) In the event an interest in any of the Property is foreclosed upon pursuant to a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale, Grantor agrees that notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 51.003, 51.004, and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as the same may be amended from time to time), and to the extent permitted by law, Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Grantor and any other party obligated on the Note equal to the difference between the amount owing on the Note and the amount for which the Property was sold pursuant to judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Grantor expressly recognizes that this paragraph constitutes a waiver of the above-cited provisions of the Texas Property Code which would otherwise permit Grantor and other persons against whom recovery of deficiencies is sought (even absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale and offset against any deficiency the amount by which the foreclosure sale price is determined to be less than such fair market value. Grantor further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates an irrebuttable presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Property for purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Grantor, and others against whom recovery of a deficiency is sought.
(ii) Alternatively, in the event the waiver provided for in subsection (1) above is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable laws, the following shall be the basis for the finder of fact’s determination of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings governed by Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as amended from time to time):
(A) the Property shall be valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of the Property after foreclosure;
(B) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Property for cash promptly (but no later than twelve months) following the foreclosure sale;
(C) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in a commercial real estate transaction should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Property, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance, a survey of the Property, tax prorations, seller’s attorneys’ fees and marketing costs;
(D) the gross fair market value of the Property shall be further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Property pending sale, including, without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, taxes and assessments (to the extent not accounted for in subsection (iii) above) and other maintenance expenses; and
(E) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Property must be given by persons having at least five years experience in appraising property similar to the Property and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Property taking into consideration the factors set forth above.
| 30 |
Section 15.3. Interest Limitation. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Grantor and Lender at all times to comply with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate of interest payable on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, this Deed of Trust and the Related Debt (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to the Note, this Deed of Trust, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Grantor and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note and/or the Related Debt, or (iii) Grantor will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Grantor of the Note and/or the Related Debt, then it is Grantor’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of this Note and/or the Related Debt (or, if the Note and all Related Debt have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Grantor), and the provisions of the Note, this Deed of Trust and other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity for the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of the Note, then Grantor and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Grantor that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either refund such excess interest to Grantor and/or credit such excess interest against the Note and/or any Related Debt then owing by Grantor to Lender. Grantor hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Grantor will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Grantor or crediting such excess interest against the Note and/or the Related Debt then owing by Grantor to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by the Note and/or Related Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Note and/or Related Debt (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Note and/or the Related Debt does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Note and/or the Related Debt for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note and/or Related Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on the Note and/or the Related Debt, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303 or under applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Grantor as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect. As used hereunder the term “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all Charges made in connection with the transaction evidenced by the Note and the other Loan Documents. As used hereunder, the term “Charges” shall mean all fees, charges and/or any other things of value, if any, contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in connection with the transactions relating to the Note and the other Loan Documents, which are treated as interest under applicable law. As used hereunder, the term “Related Debt” shall mean any and all indebtedness paid or payable by Grantor to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Grantor and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, except such indebtedness which has been paid or is payable by Grantor to Lender under the Note.
| 31 |
Section 15.4. Fixture Filing. Pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, this Deed of Trust shall be effective as a Financing Statement filed as a fixture filing from the date of its filing for record covering and including any and all fixtures of every kind and type affixed to all or any portion of the Property or forming part of all or any portion of the Improvements. The name and address of Grantor, as debtor, and Lender (where information concerning the security interest granted hereby may be obtained), as secured party, are as set forth on the first page of this Deed of Trust.

(b) No Partnership.

IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF GRANTOR AND GRANTOR HEREBY AGREES THAT THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN THIS DEED OF TRUST (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE CONTAINED IN SECTIONS 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 AND 8.4 HEREOF) AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS WILL APPLY TO AND FULLY PROTECT EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY EVEN THOUGH ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES, CAUSES OF ACTION, JUDGMENTS, PENALTIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) THEN THE SUBJECT OF INDEMNIFICATION MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY, ARISE OUT OF, OR ARE OTHERWISE ATTRIBUTABLE TO, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THE NEGLIGENCE (EXCLUDING GROSS NEGLIGENCE) IN WHOLE OR IN PART OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY.
