Trustee, by acceptance of this Deed of Trust, covenants to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable, however, only for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services rendered by Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof. Trustee may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days' notice to Borrower and to Lender. Lender may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and select a successor trustee. In the event of the death, removal, -25- resignation, refusal to act, or inability to act of Trustee, or in its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever Lender may, without notice and without specifying any reason therefor and without applying to any court, select and appoint a successor trustee, by an instrument recorded wherever this Deed of Trust is recorded and all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon become vested in such successor. Such substitute trustee shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of the duties of Trustee hereunder unless required by Lender. The procedure provided for in this paragraph for substitution of Trustee shall be in addition to and not in exclusion of any other provisions for substitution, by law or otherwise. SECTION 16.2 TRUSTEE'S FEES.

With the approval of Lender, Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (a) to select, employ, and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Lender) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution, and interpretation of the Note, this Deed of Trust or the Other Loan Documents, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (b) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through his/her agents or attorneys, (c) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his/her duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee, and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee's gross negligence or bad faith and (d) any and all other lawful action as Lender may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Lender's rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Property for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting an action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual expenses incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee's duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of Trustee's services hereunder as shall be rendered. SECTION 16.4 RETENTION OF MONEY. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by applicable law) and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder. SECTION 16.5 PERFECTION OF APPOINTMENT. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any nature be required from Borrower by any Trustee or substitute trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to the Trustee or substitute trustee such estates rights, -26- powers, and duties, then, upon request by the Trustee or substitute trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Borrower. SECTION 16.6 SUCCESSION INSTRUMENTS. Any substitute trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or his/her predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Lender or of the substitute trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute trustee so appointed in the Trustee's place. ARTICLE XVII - STATE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS SECTION 17.1 PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 17 and the terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust, the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 17 shall control and be binding. SECTION 17.2 ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS AMENDED. The following shall be inserted at the end of SECTION 1.2: "The assignments set forth in this SECTION 1.2 are not intended to constitute payment to Lender or Trustee unless Borrower's license to collect Rents is terminated, and then only to the extent that the Rents are actually received by Lender (as opposed to constituting a portion of the voluntary payments of principal and interest on the Note) and are not used for the operation or maintenance of the Property or for the payment of costs and expenses in connection therewith, taxes, assessments, water charges, sewer rents, and other charges levied, assessed or imposed against the Property, insurance premiums, costs and expenses with respect to any litigation affecting the Property, the leases, the concessions, and the rent, any wages and salaries of employees, commissions of agents and reasonable attorneys' fees, all in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. It is further the intent of Borrower and Lender that the Rents hereby absolutely assigned are no longer, during the term of this Deed of Trust, property of Borrower or property of any estate of Borrower as defined in 11 U.S.C. ss. 541 and shall not constitute collateral, cash or otherwise, of Borrower. The term "Rents" as used herein shall mean the gross rents without deduction or offsets of any kind." SECTION 17.3 REMEDIES CONTINUED. The following Sections are hereby added to the end of Article VII: "Section 7.12 DELIVERY UPON SALE. Upon the completion of any sale or sales pursuant hereto, Trustee shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold by general warranty of title. Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Borrower, in its name and stead, to make all necessary -27- conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Property and rights so sold and for that purpose Trustee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Section, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Borrower and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Borrower. Section 7.13 OPTION TO BID. Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Article VII, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Lender may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting therefrom the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the sale and costs of the action and any other sums which Lender is authorized to deduct under this Deed of Trust. Section 7.14 REMAINING LIENS. No recovery of any judgment by Lender and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Property or upon any other property of Borrower shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Deed of Trust upon the Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue unimpaired as before. Section 7.15 NO WAIVER OF REMEDIES. Lender may resort to any remedies and the security given by the Note, this Deed of Trust or the Loan Documents in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined by Lender's sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents. The failure of Lender to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation secured by the Note, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents. No acceptance by Lender of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Lender of any obligation for which Borrower is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default with respect to Borrower, or Borrower's liability to pay such obligation, unless simultaneously with such acceptance or payment by Lender, Lender waives in writing the Event of Default cured thereby. No sale of all or any portion of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Lender, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Lender to Borrower, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Lender in the remaining Property or the liability of Borrower to pay the Debt. No waiver by Lender shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. All -28- reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender in exercising its rights and remedies under this Article (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), shall be paid by Borrower within five (5) business days after notice from Lender, and such costs and expenses shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. Section 7.16 NO WAIVER CONTINUED. The interests and rights of Lender under the Note, this Deed of Trust or in any of the other Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Lender may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Lender may grant with respect to the Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Debt. Section 7.17 FORECLOSURE. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may request Trustee to proceed with foreclosure under the power of sale which is hereby conferred, such foreclosure to be accomplished in accordance with the following provisions: (a) PUBLIC SALE. Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, and it shall be Trustee's special duty, upon such request of Lender, to sell the Property, or any part thereof, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, with or without having taken possession of same. Any such sale (including notice thereof) shall comply with the applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code or, if and to the extent such statute is not then in force, with the applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of the successor statute or statutes, if any, governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust. If there is no statute in force at the time of the sale governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust, such sale shall comply with applicable law, at the time of the sale, governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust. 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. (b) RIGHT TO REQUIRE PROOF OF FINANCIAL ABILITY AND/OR CASH BID. At any time during the bidding, the Trustee may require a bidding party (i) 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 (ii) 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 the Trustee's requirement in this regard, or if such Questioned Bidder does respond but the 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, then the Trustee may continue the bidding with reservation; and in such event -29- (A) the Trustee shall be authorized to caution the Questioned Bidder concerning the legal obligations to be incurred in submitting bids, and (B) 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 the Trustee, all bids by the Questioned Bidder shall be null and void. The Trustee may, in Trustee's sole and absolute discretion, determine that a credit bid may be in the best interest of the Borrower and Lender, and elect to sell the Property for credit or for a combination of cash and credit; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to accept any bid except an all cash bid. In the event the Trustee requires a cash bid and cash is not delivered within a reasonable time after conclusion of the bidding process, as specified by the Trustee, but in no event later than 3:45 p.m. local time on the day 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) SALE SUBJECT TO UNMATURED DEBT. In addition to the rights and powers of sale granted under the preceding provisions of this subsection, if default is made in the payment of any installment of the Debt and is not cured within applicable cure periods, Lender may, at Lender's option, at once or at any time thereafter while any matured installment remains unpaid, without declaring the entire Debt to be due and payable, orally or in writing direct Trustee to enforce this Deed of Trust and to sell the Property subject to such unmatured Debt and to the rights, powers, liens, security interests, and assignments securing or providing recourse for payment of such unmatured Debt, in the same manner, all as provided in the preceding provisions of this subsection. Sales made without maturing the Debt may be made hereunder whenever there is a default in the payment of any installment of the Debt, without exhausting the power of sale granted hereby, and without affecting in any way the power of sale granted under this subsection, the unmatured balance of the Debt or the rights, powers, liens, security interests, and assignments securing or providing recourse for payment of the Debt. (d) PARTIAL FORECLOSURE. Sale of a part of the Property shall not exhaust the power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time until the Debt is paid in full. It is intended by each of the foregoing provisions of this subsection that Trustee may, after any request or direction by Lender, sell not only the Land and the Improvements, but also the equipment and other interests constituting a part of the Property or any part thereof, along with the Land and the Improvements or any part thereof, as a unit and as a part of a single sale, or may sell at any time or from time to time any part or parts of the Property separately from the remainder of the Property. It shall not be necessary to have present or to exhibit at any sale any of the Property. Any sale of personal property made hereunder shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with, or as part of, and upon the same notice as required for the sale of real property under the power of sale granted herein. (e) TRUSTEE'S DEEDS. After any sale under this subsection, Trustee shall make good and sufficient deeds, assignments, and other conveyances to the purchaser or purchasers thereunder in the name of Borrower, conveying the Property or any part thereof so sold to the purchaser or purchasers with general warranty of title by Borrower. It is agreed that in any deeds, assignments or other conveyances given by Trustee, absent -30- fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made as to the identity of Lender, the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the notice of intention to accelerate, or acceleration of, the maturity of the Debt, the request to sell, notice of sale, time, place, terms and manner of sale, and receipt, distribution, and application of the money realized therefrom, the due and proper appointment of a substitute trustee, and without being limited by the foregoing, any other act or thing having been duly done by or on behalf of Lender or by or on behalf of Trustee, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as PRIMA FACIE evidence that such statements or recitals state true, correct, and complete facts and are without further question to be so accepted, and Borrower does hereby ratify and confirm any and all acts that Trustee may lawfully do in the premises by virtue hereof." SECTION 17.4 INAPPLICABILITY OF CREDIT CODE. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts) apply to the loan evidenced by the Loan Documents and/or secured hereby. SECTION 17.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. SECTION 17.6 NOTICE OF INDEMNIFICATION. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS DEED OF TRUST PROVIDES FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF LENDER AND TRUSTEE BY BORROWER PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 11. SUBJECT TO THE TERMS THEREOF, IT IS SPECIFICALLY INTENDED BY BORROWER, LENDER, AND TRUSTEE THAT ALL INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES ASSUMED BY BORROWER HEREUNDER BE WITHOUT LIMIT AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CAUSE OR CAUSES THEREOF (INCLUDING PREEXISTING CONDITIONS), STRICT LIABILITY, OR THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY PARTY OR PARTIES (INCLUDING LENDER AND TRUSTEE) WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE BE SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT, OR PASSIVE. THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY INTEND THAT LENDER AND TRUSTEE ARE TO BE INDEMNIFIED AGAINST THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO OBLIGATE BORROWER TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS LENDER OR TRUSTEE FROM AND AGAINST ANY OR ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, CLAIMS, ACTIONS, SUITS, COSTS AND EXPENSES ENACTED AGAINST, IMPOSED ON OR INCURRED BY LENDER OR TRUSTEE BY THEIR OWN WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE. -31- SECTION 17.7 RECEIPT OF SECURITY INSTRUMENT. THE BORROWER HEREBY DECLARES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE BORROWER HAS RECEIVED, WITHOUT CHARGE, A TRUE COPY OF THIS DEED OF TRUST. SECTION 17.8 DUTIES OF TRUSTEE. It shall be no part of the duty of the Trustee to see to any recording, filing or registration of this Deed of Trust or any other instrument in addition or supplemental thereto, or to give any notice thereof, or to see to the payment of or be under any duty in respect of any tax or assessment or other governmental charge which may be levied or assessed on the Property, or any part thereof, or against the Borrower, or to see to the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of the covenants and agreements contained herein. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the execution, acknowledgment or validity of this Deed of Trust or of any instrument in addition or supplemental hereto or for the sufficiency of the security purported to be created hereby, and makes no representation in respect thereof or in respect of the rights of the Lender. The Trustee shall have the right to advise with counsel upon any matters arising hereunder and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel. The Trustee shall not incur any personal liability hereunder except for his own gross negligence or willful misconduct; and the Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by him hereunder, believed by him in good faith to be genuine. SECTION 17.9 SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEE. In case of the death, inability, refusal or incapacity of the Trustee to act, or at the option of the Lender at any time and without cause or notice, a successor or substitute trustee may be named, constituted and appointed. Successor or substitute trustees may be named, constituted and appointed without procuring the resignation of the former trustee and without other formality than the execution and acknowledgment by Lender of a written instrument (which instrument, if Lender is a corporation, shall be executed by the President or any Vice President and attested by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary and without the necessity of any action by the Board of Directors authorizing such appointment) appointing and designating such successor or substitute trustee, whereupon such successor or substitute trustee shall become vested with and succeed to all of the rights, titles, privileges, powers and duties of the Trustee named herein. Such right of appointment of a substitute or successor trustee shall exist as often and whenever for any of said causes the original or successor or substitute trustee cannot or will not act or has been removed as herein provided.
