Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Triggering Event, such permission under subsection (i) above shall terminate immediately and automatically, without notice to the Trustor or any other Person except as required by law, and shall not be reinstated without the express written consent of the Beneficiary and upon the occurrence of a Disposition such permission under subsection (ii) above shall terminate immediately and automatically with respect to any Rents, Proceeds and other rents, income, proceeds and benefits from Trust Premises that are the subject of a Disposition, without notice to the Trustor or any other Person except as required by law. Such assignment shall be fully effective without any further action on the part of the Trustor, the Trustee, or the Beneficiary, and the Beneficiary shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, to collect, receive and apply all Rents, Proceeds and all other rents, income, proceeds and benefits from the Trust Premises, including all right, title and interest of the Trustor in any escrowed sums or deposits or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether or not the Trustee or the Beneficiary takes possession of the Trust Premises or any part thereof.

The Trustor will pay and save the Indemnified Parties harmless against any and all liability with respect to any intangible personal property tax or similar imposition of the State or any subdivision or authority thereof now or hereafter in effect, to the extent that the same may be payable by the Indemnified Parties in respect of this Deed of Trust, the Indenture, the Notes or any other Secured Obligation. All amounts payable to the Indemnified Parties under this Section 1.16 shall be deemed indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and any such amounts which are not paid within ten (10) days after written demand therefor by any Indemnified Party shall bear interest at the rate provided for in the Indenture and the Notes from the date of such demand. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party by reason of any such occurrence, the Trustor, upon request of such Indemnified Party, will, at the Trustor’s expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted or defended by counsel designated by the Trustor and approved by such Indemnified Party. The obligations of the Trustor under this Section 1.16 shall survive any discharge or reconveyance of this Deed of Trust and payment in full of the Secured Obligations.

          SECTION 1.19 Security Agreement. With respect to the items of personal property and fixtures referred to and described in the Granting Clause of this Deed of Trust and included as part of the Trust Premises, this Deed of Trust is hereby made and declared to be a security agreement encumbering each and every item of such personal property and fixtures included as part of the Trust Premises now or hereafter owned by Trustor, in compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State. In this respect (and notwithstanding the conveyance to the Trustee rather than directly to the Beneficiary as provided in this Deed of Trust), Trustor, as “Debtor”, expressly grants to Beneficiary, as “Secured Party”, a security interest in and to all of the property now or hereafter owned by Trustor which constitutes the personal property and fixtures included as part of the Trust Premises hereinabove referred to and described in this Deed of Trust, including all extensions, accessions, additions, improvements, betterments, renewals, replacements and substitutions thereof or thereto, and all proceeds from the sale or other disposition thereof. Trustor agrees that Beneficiary may file this Deed of Trust, or a reproduction thereof, in the real estate records or other appropriate index, as, and this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to be, a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the laws of the State. Any reproduction of this Deed of Trust or of any other security agreement or financing statement executed by Trustor shall be sufficient as a financing statement. In addition, Trustor agrees to execute and deliver to Beneficiary, upon Beneficiary’s request, financing statements, as well as extensions, renewals, and amendments thereof, and reproductions of this Deed of Trust, in such form as Beneficiary may reasonably require to perfect a security interest with respect to said items. Trustor shall pay all costs of filing such financing statements and any extensions, renewals, amendments and releases thereof, and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements Beneficiary may reasonably require. Except as is provided in the Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents, and except for the Permitted Encumbrances, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, Trustor shall not create or suffer to be created pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code any other security interest in the above-described personal property and fixtures, including any replacements and additions thereto. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary shall have and shall be entitled to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies (i) as prescribed in this Deed of Trust, or (ii) as prescribed by general law, or (iii) as prescribed by the specific statutory provisions now or hereafter enacted and specified in said Uniform Commercial Code, all at Beneficiary’s sole election. Trustor warrants that Trustor’s correct name, identity, state of incorporation and address are as set forth herein. Trustor agrees that it shall provide Trustee and Beneficiary with thirty (30) days prior written notice of any change in Trustor’s name, identity, state of incorporation or address. The mailing address of the Beneficiary from which information may be obtained concerning the security interest created herein is also set forth herein. This information hereof is provided in order that this Deed of Trust shall comply with the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State for instruments to be filed as financing statements. In accordance with the laws of the State, this Deed of Trust shall remain effective as a fixture filing until this Deed of Trust is released or satisfied of record or its effectiveness otherwise terminates as to the Trust Premises.

          SECTION 1.20 Representations and Warranties.

          SECTION 1.21 Trustor’s Covenants. In order to induce the Beneficiary to accept this Deed of Trust and enter into the Indenture and the other Collateral Documents, the Trustor agrees that all of the covenants of Trustor set forth in the Indenture are incorporated in this Deed of Trust by reference as if fully set forth herein.
          SECTION 1.22 Attornment. Beneficiary, by its acceptance of this Deed of Trust, hereby acknowledges and agrees that the liens granted herein are or will be subject to the rights of certain lessees under: (i) certain Leases in existence on the date hereof; (ii) Leases entered into by Trustor after the date hereof provided that Trustor obtains the written consent of Beneficiary prior to entering into such Leases; and (iii) Leases entered into by Trustor after the date hereof without the consent of Beneficiary provided that such Lease is a Permitted Lien (each of the Leases described in clauses (i) (ii) and (iii), a “Permitted Lease”). The rights of the tenants under the Permitted Leases shall not be adversely affected by the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights hereunder, nor shall any such tenant be in any way deprived of its rights under the applicable Permitted Lease except in accordance with the terms of such lease. In the event that Beneficiary succeeds to the interest of Trustor under a Permitted Lease, such Permitted Lease shall not be terminated or affected thereby except as set forth therein, and any sale of the applicable leased premises by Beneficiary or pursuant to the judgment of any court in an action to enforce the remedies provided for in this Deed of Trust shall be made subject to such Permitted Lease and the rights of such tenant expressly set forth thereunder. If Beneficiary succeeds to the interests of Trustor in and to the applicable leased premises or under such Permitted Lease or enters into possession of such leased premises, the Beneficiary, and such tenants, shall be bound to each other under all of the express terms, covenants and conditions of such Permitted Lease, as if the Beneficiary was originally the Trustor as lessor thereunder, provided, however, that Beneficiary or its successors and assigns, shall not be (i) subject to any credits, offsets, defenses or claims which such tenant might have against Trustor; (ii) liable for any act or omission of Trustor or for any indemnity, of whatever nature, by Trustor pursuant to any provision contained in such Permitted Lease with respect to any event occurring prior to the date that Beneficiary or its successor or assign shall acquire the leased premises; (iii) bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction in connection with the leased premises or to pay any sums in connection therewith; or (iv) required to account for any security deposit other than any security deposit actually delivered to Beneficiary or its successor or assign.
          SECTION 1.23 Inspections. Trustor will permit the Trustee or the Beneficiary, or the agents of either of them, to enter upon the Property and all parts thereof, for the purpose of investigating and inspecting the condition and operation thereof and of the other Trust Premises. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then such investigation and inspection shall be performed at the cost and expense of Trustor.

The Trustor will, at its expense, maintain or cause to be maintained: (a) insurance with respect to the Improvements against loss or damage by fire, lightning and such other risks as are included in standard “all-risk” policies, in amounts sufficient to prevent the Trustor and the Beneficiary from becoming a co-insurer of any partial loss under the applicable policies, but in any event in amounts not less than the then full insurable value (accrual replacement value) of the Improvements (subject to commercially reasonable deductibles), as determined by the Trustor in accordance with generally accepted insurance practice, (b) comprehensive public liability, including bodily injury and product liability and property damage, insurance, with personal injury endorsements, applicable to the Trust Premises in such amounts as are customarily carried by Persons operating similar properties in the same general locality, but in any event with a combined single limit of not less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) per occurrence, (c) explosion insurance in respect of any steam and pressure boilers and similar properties in the same general locality, but in any event in an amount not less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), (d) business interruption insurance (including added expense coverage against all insurable perils for a period of not fewer than twelve (12) months (subject to a reasonable aggregate deductible), (e) worker’s compensation insurance to the full extent required by applicable law for all employees of the Trustor engaged in any work on or about the Property, (f) employer’s liability insurance with a limit of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) for each occurrence, and (g) all-risk, builders’ risk insurance with respect to the Property during any period during which there is any construction work being performed, against loss or damage by fire or other risks, including vandalism, malicious mischief and sprinkler leakage, as are included in so-called “extended coverage” clauses at the time available and (h) such other insurance with respect to the Property in such amounts and against such insurable hazards as the Beneficiary from time to time my reasonably require by written notice to the Trustor and is then being required by lenders of facilities similar to the Trust Premises, which facilities are located in a similar geographic area to the Trust Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any insurance required herein is no longer available Trustor shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder if it fails to obtain such unavailable insurance. In addition, to the extent it becomes commercially unreasonable to maintain any such insurance (which shall be true if such insurance is not being renewed or obtained by substantially all owners of facilities similar to the Trust Premises which are located in a similar geographic area to the Trust Premises), then Trustor shall not be required to maintain such insurance until the time such insurance is available on commercially reasonable terms
          SECTION 2.1.2 Policy Provisions.

          SECTION 2.1.3 Delivery of Certificates, etc. The Trustor will deliver to the Beneficiary, promptly upon request, (a) certificates of all policies evidencing all insurance required to be maintained under Section 2.1.1 (or, in the case of blanket policies, certificates thereof by the insurers together with a counterpart of each blanket policy), and (b) evidence as to the payment of all premiums due thereon (with respect to public liability insurance policies, all installments for the current year due thereon to such date), provided that the Beneficiary shall not be deemed by reason of its custody of such certificates to have knowledge of the contents thereof or of the applicable policies.

15


 

the Trustor will promptly give written notice thereof to the Beneficiary, generally describing the nature and extent of such damage or destruction and the Trustor’s best estimate of the cost of restoring the Trust Premises, or the nature of such proceedings or negotiations and the nature and extent of the Taking which might result therefrom, as the case may be.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary at any time may, at its election, proceed at law or in equity or otherwise to enforce the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and to foreclose the lien of this Deed of Trust as against all or any part of the Trust Premises and to have the same sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover in such proceedings all costs incident thereto, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in such amounts as may be fixed by any court.
          SECTION 3.3 Power of Sale. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary may direct the Trustee to sell or offer for sale the Trust Premises in such portions, order and parcels as the Beneficiary may determine, with or without having first taken possession of the same, to the highest bidder for cash at public auction.

Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the notice, enclosed in a postpaid wrapper, properly stamped and addressed to such debtor at the most recent address as shown by the records of the Beneficiary, in a post office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States. It is agreed that the posting and transmittal of notices may be performed by the Trustee, Beneficiary, or by any person acting for them. In lieu of the foregoing, the sale may be accomplished by following the procedures permitted or required by Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code, as same may be amended from time to time, relating to the sale of real estate and/or by the Texas Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions (same being Chapter 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code) relating to the sale of personal property collateral after default by a debtor (as said Section and Chapter may now exist or may hereafter be amended or succeeded), or by any other present or subsequent articles or enactments relating to the same. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to limit in any way the Trustee’s rights to sell the Trust Premises by private sale if, and to the extent, that such private sale is permitted under the laws of the State or by public or private sale after entry of judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction ordering the same. At any such sale (i) whether made under power herein contained, Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code, the Texas Uniform Commercial Code- Secured Transactions, any other legal requirement or by virtue of any judicial procedure or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, it shall not be necessary for the Trustee to have physically present, or to have constructive possession of, the Trust Premises (Trustor hereby covenanting and agreeing to deliver to the Trustee any portion of the Trust Premises not actually or constructively possessed by the Trustee immediately upon demand by the Trustee), and the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof as completely as if the same had been actually present and delivered to purchaser at such sale, (ii) each instrument of conveyance executed by the Trustee shall contain a special warranty of title, binding upon Trustor, (iii) each and every recital contained in any instrument of conveyance made by the Trustee shall conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters recited therein, including, without limitation, nonpayment of the Secured Obligations, advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner provided herein and otherwise by law and appointment of any successor to the Trustee hereunder, (iv) any and all prerequisites to the validity thereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been performed, (v) the receipt of the Trustee or of such other party or officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers for his or their purchase money and no such purchaser or purchasers, or his or their assigns or personal representatives, shall thereafter be obligated to see to the application of such purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof, (vi) to the fullest extent permitted by law, Trustor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Trustor, and against any and all other persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Trustor, and (vii) to the extent and under such circumstances as are permitted by law, Beneficiary may be a purchaser at any such sale. The Trust Premises may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Trustee and Beneficiary, in their sole discretion, may elect, it being expressly understood and agreed that the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales but other and successive sales may be made until all of the Trust Premises have been sold or until the Secured Obligations have been fully satisfied. The Trustee may postpone the sale of

17


 

all or any portion of such Trust Premises by public announcement at the time and place of such sale, and from time to time thereafter may further postpone such sale by public announcement made at the time of sale fixed by the preceding postponement. In case Beneficiary shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under this Deed of Trust and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Beneficiary shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such event, Trustor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Secured Obligations, the Trust Premises and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Beneficiary shall continue as if same had never been invoked.
          SECTION 3.4 Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary may exercise from time to time and at any time any rights and remedies available to it under applicable law upon default in the payment of indebtedness, including, without limitation, any right or remedy available to it as a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State. The Trustor shall, promptly upon request by the Beneficiary, assemble the Trust Premises, or any portion thereof generally described in such request, and make it available to the Beneficiary at such place or places designated by the Beneficiary and reasonably convenient to the Beneficiary and the Trustor. If the Beneficiary elects to proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State to dispose of portions of the Trust Premises, the Beneficiary, at its option, may give the Trustor notice of the time and place of any public sale of any such property, or of the date after which any private sale or other disposition thereof is to be made, by sending notice by registered or certified first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trustor at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or other disposition. If any notice of any proposed sale, assignment or transfer by the Beneficiary of any portion of the Trust Premises or any interest therein is required by law, the Trustor conclusively agrees that ten (10) days notice to the Trustor of the date, time and place (and, in the case of a private sale, the terms) thereof is reasonable.
          SECTION 3.5 Beneficiary Authorized to Execute Deeds, etc. The Trustor irrevocably appoints the Trustee and the Beneficiary (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Trustor, in its name and stead and on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery for the enforcement hereof, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, to execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request; provided, however, Trustee and Beneficiary are permitted to take such actions only upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default or when otherwise permitted under the Indenture or any Collateral Document.
          SECTION 3.6 Purchase of Trust Premises by Beneficiary. The Beneficiary may be a purchaser of the Trust Premises or of any part thereof or of any interest therein at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, and the Beneficiary may apply upon the purchase price thereof the indebtedness secured hereby owing to the Beneficiary. Such purchaser shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the properties so purchased, free of the security interest and lien of this Deed of Trust and free of all rights of redemption in the Trustor.

          SECTION 3.8 Waiver of Appraisement Valuation, etc. The Trustor hereby waives, to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of appraisement, valuation, stay, extension and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshaling in the event of any sale of the Trust Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein.

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture or herein, upon any sale of the Trust Premises or any portion thereof or interest therein by virtue of the exercise of any remedy by the Beneficiary, or the Trustee on behalf of the Beneficiary, under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise in accordance with this Deed of Trust or by virtue of any other remedy available at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, at the option of the Beneficiary, any sums or monies due and payable pursuant to the Indenture or Collateral Documents and in connection with the Secured Obligations shall, if not previously declared due and payable, immediately become due and payable, together with interest accrued thereon, and all other indebtedness which this Deed of Trust by its terms secures.

          SECTION 3.12 Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to seek a court order for the appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Trust Premises, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Trust Premises or otherwise, and the Trustor hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment.
          SECTION 3.13 Possession, Management and Income. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to, and not in limitation of, the rights and remedies provided in Section 1.14, the Trustee and the Beneficiary, upon five (5) days written notice to the Trustor, may enter upon and take possession of the Trust Premises or any part thereof by force, summary proceeding, ejectment or otherwise and may remove the Trustor and all other Persons and any and all property therefrom and may hold, operate, maintain, repair, preserve and manage the same and receive all earnings, income, Rents, issues and Proceeds

          SECTION 3.14 Right of Beneficiary to Perform Trustor’s Covenants, etc. If the Trustor shall fail to make any payment or perform any act required to be made or performed hereunder or under the Indenture or the Notes, the Beneficiary, without notice to or demand upon the Trustor and without waiving or releasing any obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of the Trustor, and may enter upon the Trust Premises for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in the Beneficiary’s opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry and no such action shall be deemed an eviction of any lessee of the Property or any part thereof. All sums so paid by the Beneficiary and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in the Indenture from the date of payment or incurring, shall constitute additional indebtedness under the Collateral Documents and shall be paid by the Trustor to the Trustee or the Beneficiary, as the case may be, on demand.

          SECTION 3.17 Provisions Subject to Applicable Law. All rights, powers and remedies provided in this Deed of Trust may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise

20

None of the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall be construed as relieving the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, own negligent failure to act, or own willful misconduct, except that,
          (a) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
                (i) the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Deed of Trust, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Deed of Trust against the Trustee, whose duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Deed of Trust, and

become effective upon the appointment of its successor and such successor’s acceptance of such appointment, provided that, if a successor Trustee has not been so appointed, or, if so appointed, has not accepted the appointment within thirty (30) days after the date of such written notice of resignation, the Trustee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
          (b) The Trustee may be removed at any time, in the Beneficiary’s sole discretion, by an instrument or instruments signed by the Beneficiary and filed with the Trustor and the Trustee.
          (c) The Beneficiary may appoint a successor Trustee at any time by filing for record in the office of the Register of Deeds of the County in which the Property is located a substitution of Trustee.

Each such substitution shall be executed and acknowledged, and notice thereof shall be given and proof thereof made in accordance with applicable law. The Trustor agrees to accept and confirm any such successor Trustee hereunder by executing and delivering a supplemental Deed of Trust and security agreement or any other appropriate agreement.
          SECTION 5.13 Waiver of Jury Trial; Submission to Jurisdiction. EACH OF THE TRUSTOR AND THE BENEFICIARY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS DEED OF TRUST, THE INDENTURE, THE SENIOR NOTES, THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER RELATED INSTRUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF THE TRUSTOR OR THE BENEFICIARY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE BENEFICIARY AND THE HOLDERS TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THE INDENTURE.
          (b) FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVING THIS DEED OF TRUST OR THE INDENTURE, THE SENIOR NOTES, OR THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS, THE TRUSTOR, TRUSTEE AND BENEFICIARY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ALL FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE AND CONSENT THAT THEY MAY BE SERVED WITH ANY PROCESS OR PAPER BY REGISTERED MAIL OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW, PROVIDED A REASONABLE TIME FOR APPEARANCE IS ALLOWED. THE TRUSTOR AND THE BENEFICIARY EACH EXPRESSLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION, CLAIM OR DEFENSE WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS DEED OF TRUST OR THE INDENTURE IN ANY SUCH COURT, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT

28


 

IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH CLAIM, SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON OF THE TRUSTOR. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN WILL BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE EITHER OF THE TRUSTEE OR THE BENEFICIARY FROM BRINGING AN ACTION AGAINST THE TRUSTOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
          SECTION 5.14 Severability; Conflicts. Any provision of this Deed of Trust, the Indenture, the Notes, or any other Collateral Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Deed of Trust, the Indenture, the Notes, or other Collateral Documents or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Deed of Trust and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.
          SECTION 5.15 Security Agreement. This Deed of Trust is a document executed pursuant to the Indenture and, unless otherwise expressly indicated herein, shall be construed, administered and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof.
          SECTION 5.16 Usury Savings Clause. In no event shall any provision of this instrument, the Indenture, the Notes, or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Secured Obligations ever obligate Trustor, to pay or allow Beneficiary to collect interest on the Notes or any other Secured Obligations secured hereby at a rate greater than the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law (herein referred to as the “Highest Lawful Rate”), or obligate Trustor to pay any amounts that would be held or deemed to constitute interest under applicable law which, when added to the interest payable on the Notes, would be held to constitute the payment by Trustor of interest at a rate greater than the Highest Lawful Rate; and this provision shall control over any provision to the contrary. To the extent the Highest Lawful Rate is determined by reference to the laws of the State of Texas, same shall be determined by reference to the indicated rate ceiling (as defined and described in Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended) at the applicable time in effect.
     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the maturity of all or any part of the principal amount of the Secured Obligations shall be accelerated for any reason, then such principal amount so accelerated shall be credited with any interest theretofore paid thereon in advance and remaining unearned at the time of such acceleration. If, pursuant to the terms of this Deed of Trust or the Notes, any funds are applied to the payment of any part of the principal amount of the Secured Obligations prior to the maturity thereof, then (a)(a) any interest which would otherwise thereafter accrue on the principal amount so paid by such application shall be canceled, and (b) the Secured Obligations remaining unpaid after such application shall be credited with the amount of all interest, if any, theretofore collected on the principal amount so paid by such application and remaining unearned at the date of said application; and if the funds so applied shall be sufficient to pay in full all the Secured Obligations, then Beneficiary shall refund to Trustor all interest theretofore paid thereon in advance and remaining unearned at the

29


 

time of such acceleration. Regardless of any other provision in this instrument, or in any of the written evidences of the Secured Obligations, Trustor shall never be required to pay any unearned interest on the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, and shall never be required to pay interest thereon at a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate construed by courts having competent jurisdiction thereof.
     It is the intention of the Trustor and the Beneficiary to conform strictly to the usury laws governing the Indenture and the Collateral Documents, and any interest payable under the Indenture and the Collateral Documents executed pursuant to the Indenture shall be subject to reduction to the amount not in excess of the maximum non-usurious amount allowed under such laws, as construed by the courts having jurisdiction over such matters. In the event the maturity of the Secured Obligations is accelerated by reason of any provision of the Indenture and the Collateral Documents executed pursuant or by reason of an election by the Beneficiary resulting from an Event of Default, then earned interest may never include more than the maximum amount permitted by law, computed from the dates of each advance of loan proceeds under the Indenture until payment, and any interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law shall be canceled automatically or, if theretofore paid, at the option of the Beneficiary, shall be rebated to the Trustor, or shall be credited on the principal amount of the Secured Obligations or, if all principal has been repaid, then the excess shall be rebated to the Trustor. If any interest is canceled, credited against principal or rebated to the Trustor in accordance with the foregoing sentence and, if thereafter the interest payable hereunder is less than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, the rate hereunder shall automatically be increased to the maximum extent possible to permit repayment to the Beneficiary and the Lenders as soon as possible of any interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law which was earlier canceled, credit against principal or rebated to the Trustor pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.
          SECTION 5.17 Entire Agreement. THIS WRITTEN DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FILING REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
          SECTION 5.18 No Partnership. Nothing contained herein is intended or shall be construed to create a partnership or joint venture among Trustor, Trustee and/or Beneficiary.
     THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
          SECTION 5.19 Future Advances. This Deed of Trust is given to secure the Secured Obligations and shall secure not only obligations with respect to presently existing indebtedness under the Indenture and the Notes but also any and all other indebtedness which may hereafter be owing to the Holders under the Indenture and Notes, including, without limitation, indebtedness under any Additional Notes and Exchange Notes, however incurred, whether interest or otherwise, and whether the same shall be deferred or accrued, including future advances pursuant to the Indenture and Notes, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of the Holders, or otherwise, to the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of the execution of this Deed of Trust. The lien of this Deed of Trust shall be valid as to all indebtedness secured hereby, including future advances, from the time of

30


 

its filing for record in the recorder’s office of the county in which the Trust Property is located. This Deed of Trust is intended to and shall be valid and have priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances.
