(ii) Upon compliance with the requirements of subsection (b)(i), the Property shall be released from the lien of the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents, and the Defeasance Collateral shall constitute the sole collateral which shall secure this Note and the Other Note and all other obligations under the Loan Documents.

(iii) Upon the release of the Property in accordance with this subsection (b), Borrower shall assign all its obligations and rights under this Note and the Other Note, together with the pledged Defeasance Collateral, to a successor entity designated and approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion (“Successor Borrower”).

In no event shall Lender have any obligation to notify Borrower that a REMIC Prohibition Period is in effect with respect to the Loan, except that Lender shall notify Borrower if any REMIC Prohibition Period is in effect with respect to the Loan after receiving any notice described in subsection (b)(i)(B); provided, however, that the failure of Lender to so notify Borrower shall not impose any liability on Lender or grant Borrower any right to defease the Loan during any such REMIC Prohibition Period.

(c) Involuntary Prepayment During the Lockout Period. During the Lockout Period, in the event of any involuntary prepayment of the Loan or any other amount under this Note, whether in whole or in part, in connection with or following Lender’s acceleration of this Note and the Other Note or otherwise, and whether the Security Instrument is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, including, without limitation, repayment of the Loan by Borrower or any other Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption, Borrower shall, in addition to any portion of the principal balance of the Loan prepaid (together with all interest accrued and

unpaid thereon and in the event the prepayment is made on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date, a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued under this Note and the Other Note on the amount of such prepayment if such prepayment had occurred on the next Monthly Payment Date), pay to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount calculated in accordance with this subsection (c). Such prepayment premium shall be in an amount equal to the greater of:

(i) 1% of the portion of the Loan being prepaid; or

(ii) the product obtained by multiplying:

(A) the portion of the Loan being prepaid, times;

(B) the difference obtained by subtracting (I) the Yield Rate (defined below) from (II) the Applicable Interest Rate, times;

8

rate permitted by applicable law to the reduction of the Loan, or (iii) the exercise by Lender of any other right under the Loan Documents to apply an amount received by Lender to the principal balance of this Note or the Other Note, other than any exercise in connection with an Event of Default, which shall be controlled by the preceding paragraph (c).

(e) After the Lockout Period. Commencing on the day after the expiration of the Lockout Period, and upon giving Lender at least fifteen (15) days (but not more than ninety (90) days) prior written notice, Borrower may voluntarily prepay (without premium) this Note and the Other Note in whole (but not in part) on a Monthly Payment Date. Lender shall accept a prepayment pursuant to this subsection (e) on a day other than a Monthly Payment Date provided that, in addition to payment of the full outstanding principal balance of this Note and the Other Note, Borrower pays to Lender a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued on this Note and the Other Note if such prepayment occurred on the next Monthly Payment Date.

(f) Limitation on Partial Prepayments. In no event shall Lender have any obligation to accept a partial prepayment.

(g) Prepayment and Defeasance of this Note and the Other Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any defeasance or prepayment permitted hereunder and consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein must occur simultaneously with a defeasance or prepayment permitted by (and consummated in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of) the Other Note. Lender shall have no obligation to accept any payment or defeasance of this Note in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Note unless the Other Note is simultaneously prepaid or defeased, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Other Note.

The term “Other Security Documents” as used in this Note shall mean all and any of the documents other than this Note, the Other Note or the Security Instrument now or hereafter executed by Borrower and/or others and by or in favor of Lender, which wholly or partially secure or guarantee payment of this Note.

Lender by acceptance of this Note hereby agrees to pursue its remedies under each Note executed by Borrower jointly and in a manner which is not more detrimental to Borrower than if Borrower executed only one Note.

9

All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Other Note, the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein.

ARTICLE 7: SAVINGS CLAUSE

This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.

ARTICLE 8: LATE CHARGE

If any monthly installment of principal and interest payable under this Note is not paid on the date on which it was due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to defray the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and processing the delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of the delinquent payment and the amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents.

ARTICLE 9: NO ORAL CHANGE

This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

ARTICLE 10: JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY

If there is more than one Borrower, the obligations and liabilities of each such person or party shall be joint and several.

ARTICLE 11: WAIVERS

Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Other Note, in the Security Instrument, or in the Other Security Documents, Borrower and all others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt do hereby severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest and non-payment and all other notices of any

10

kind. No release of any security for the Debt or extension of time for payment of this Note or any installment hereof or the Other Note or any installment thereof, and no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note, the Other Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents made by agreement between Lender or any other person or party shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or affect the liability of Borrower, and any other person or entity who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt, under this Note, the Other Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents. No notice to or demand on Borrower shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of Borrower or of the right of Lender to take further action without further notice or demand as provided for in this Note, the Other Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents. If Borrower is a partnership, the agreements herein contained shall remain in force and applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals comprising the partnership. If Borrower is a corporation, the agreements contained herein shall remain in full force and applicable notwithstanding any changes in the shareholders comprising, or the officers and directors relating to, the corporation. If Borrower is a limited liability company, the agreements contained herein shall remain in full force and applicable notwithstanding any changes in the members comprising, or the managers, officers or agents relating to, the limited liability company. The term “Borrower”, as used herein, shall include any alternate or successor partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity or person to the Borrower named herein, but any predecessor partnership (and their partners), corporation, limited liability company, other entity or person shall not thereby be released from any liability except as otherwise provided in the Security Instrument or Other Security Documents. Nothing in this Article 11 shall be construed as a consent to, or a waiver of, any prohibition or restriction on transfers of interests in such partnership which may be set forth in the Security Instrument or any Other Security Document.

ARTICLE 12: INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

ARTICLE 13: WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY

BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE AND THE OTHER NOTE, THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE AND THE OTHER NOTE, THIS NOTE, THE OTHER NOTE THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS OR AGENTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

ADDENDUM TO NOTE

(TEXAS)

The term “Maximum Rate” shall mean the highest lawful rate of Interest applicable to this Note. In determining the Maximum Rate, due regard shall be given to all payments, fees, charges, deposits, balances and agreements which may constitute interest or be deducted from principal when calculating interest. If Chapter 303 of the Finance Code, Vernon’s Texas Civil Statutes, is deemed (by any court of competent jurisdiction) to be applicable to this Note, and applicable state or federal law does not permit a higher interest rate, the “weekly ceiling” (as defined in Chapter 303 of the Finance Code, Vernon’s Texas Civil Statutes) shall be the interest rate ceiling applicable to this Note and shall be the basis for determining the Maximum Rate. If applicable state or federal law allows a higher interest rate or federal law preempts the state law limiting the rate of interest, then the foregoing interest rate ceiling shall not be applicable to this Note. If the Maximum Rate is increased by statute or other governmental action subsequent to the date of this Note, then the new Maximum Rate shall be applicable to this Note from the effective date thereof, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be computed on the basis set forth in the Articles 1 and 2 of this Note (the “Stated Rate”), but in no event shall the Stated Rate be greater than the Maximum Rate described immediately above.

It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of the undersigned and holder hereof (together with its successors and assigns, the “Noteholder”) at all times to comply with applicable law governing the Maximum Rate or amount of interest payable on or in connection with this Note and the Loan (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits the Noteholder to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under any such applicable State law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Note or under the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Loan, or if acceleration of the maturity of this Note or if any prepayment by the undersigned results in the undersigned having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by law, then it is the undersigned’s and the Note holder’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by the Noteholder be credited on the principal balance of this Note (or, if this Note has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to the undersigned), and the provisions of this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder. The right to accelerate maturity of this Note does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and the Noteholder does not intend to collect any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All sums paid or owed to be paid to the Noteholder for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidence hereby shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Note, the Security Instrument or in any of the other Loan Documents

that permit the compounding of interest (including, without limitation, any provision by which any accrued interest is added to the principal amount of this Note), if and to the extent the laws of the State of Texas are deemed to apply to the aforesaid provisions (by any court of competent jurisdiction), the total amount of interest that the undersigned is obligated to pay and the Noteholder is entitled to receive with respect to this Note shall not exceed the amount calculated on a simple (i.e., non-compounded) interest basis at the Maximum Rate on principal amounts actually advanced to or for the account of the undersigned, including all current and prior advances and any advances made pursuant to the Security Instrument or other Loan Documents (such as for the payment of taxes, insurance premiums, repairs and other expenses or costs).

THE UNDERSIGNED AND ALL OTHER MAKERS, SIGNERS, SURETIES, GUARANTORS AND ENDORSERS OF THIS NOTE WAIVE DEMAND, PRESENTMENT, NOTICE OF DISHONOR, NOTICE OF INTENT TO DEMAND OR ACCELERATE PAYMENT HEREOF, DILIGENCE IN THE COLLECTING, GRACE, NOTICE AND PROTEST AND AGREE TO ONE OR MORE EXTENSIONS FOR ANY PERIOD OR PERIODS OF TIME AND PARTIAL PAYMENTS, BEFORE OR AFTER MATURITY, WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE HOLDER HEREOF. IF COLLECTION PROCEDURES ARE EVER COMMENCED, BY ANY MEANS, INCLUDING LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR THROUGH A PROBATE OR BANKRUPTCY COURT, OR IF THIS NOTE IS PLACED IN THE HANDS OF ANY ATTORNEY FOR COLLECTION AFTER DEFAULT OR MATURITY, THE UNDERSIGNED AGREES TO PAY ALL COSTS OF COLLECTION OR ATTEMPTED COLLECTION, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES.
