      ARTICLE 2  
GRANT
 
Section 2.1  To secure the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Indebtedness, Grantor has GRANTED, MORTGAGED, BARGAINED, ASSIGNED, SOLD AND CONVEYED, and by these presents does GRANT, MORTGAGE, BARGAIN, ASSIGN, SELL AND CONVEY WITH POWER OF SALE, to Trustee, the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property, together with all and singular the rights and appurtenances thereto in any wise belonging, unto the Trustee, his substitutes or successors, forever, in trust, however, for the benefit of Beneficiary and its successors and assigns, upon the terms, provisions and conditions herein set forth.
 
      ARTICLE 3  
REMEDIES
 
Section 3.1  Grantor specifically agrees that after any sale under this Deed of Trust, it, or its successors or assigns, shall be mere tenants at sufferance of the purchaser of the Property, or any part thereof at such Trustee’s sale, and that such purchaser shall be entitled to the immediate possession thereof, and upon failure to surrender possession, the purchaser as landlord, shall have the right to go into any Justice of the Peace Court in the precinct and county in which the Property is located, and file an action for forcible entry and detainer, which action shall lie against Grantor, its successors or assigns, as tenants of such purchaser. This remedy is cumulative of any and all other remedies the purchaser may have hereunder or otherwise.
 
Section 3.2  If an Event of Default shall occur, Beneficiary may require Trustee to sell all or part of the Property, at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash, at the location designated by the Commissioner’s Court of the county in which the Property is located, pursuant to Section 51.002, Property Code, Vernon’s Texas Codes Annotated, or, if no such designation has been made, at the door of the county courthouse of the county in Texas in which such Property or any part thereof is situated, between the hours of 10:00 o’clock A.M. and 4:00 o’clock P.M. on the first Tuesday of any month, after giving notice of the time, place, and terms of said sale and of the property to be sold by posting written notice of the sale at the courthouse door, and by filing a copy of the notice in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the sale is to be made at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of the sale. If the property to be sold is situated in more than one county, a notice shall be posted at the courthouse door and filed with the county clerk in each county in which the property to be sold is situated. In addition, Beneficiary shall, at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of sale, serve written notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on each debtor obligated to pay the debt secured hereby according to the records of Beneficiary. Notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, the holder of the debt shall serve a debtor in default under a deed of trust or other contract lien on real property used as the debtor’s residence with written notice by certified mail stating that the debtor is in default under the deed of trust or other contract lien and giving the debtor at least 20 days to cure the default before notice of sale can be given under Section 51.002, subsection (b). The entire calendar day on which the notice required by this subsection is given, regardless of the time of day at which the notice is given, is included in computing the 20-day notice period required by this subsection, and the entire calendar day on which notice of sale is given under subsection (b) is excluded in computing the 20-day notice period. Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the notice, enclosed in a postpaid wrapper, properly addressed to such debtor at the most recent address as shown by the records of Beneficiary, in a post office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service. The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of the service. Any notice that is required or permitted to be given to Grantor may be addressed to Grantor at the address as stated above. Any notice that is to be given by certified mail to any other debtor may, if no address for such other debtor is shown by the records of Beneficiary, be addressed to such other debtor at the address of Grantor as is shown by the records of Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, notice of such sale given in accordance with the requirements of the applicable laws of the State of Texas in effect at the time of such sale shall constitute sufficient notice of such sale. Trustee may sell all or any portion of the Property, together or in lots or parcels, and may execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers of such property good and sufficient assignment documents or other documents of conveyance with covenants of general warranty made on behalf of Grantor. In no event shall Trustee be required to exhibit, present, or display at any such sale any of the personalty described herein to be sold at such sale.

Section 3.3  The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Property, shall be applied by Trustee or Beneficiary (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in the following order unless otherwise required by applicable law: first, to the payment of the costs and expenses of taking possession of the Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the same, including, without limitation, (a) receiver’s fees and expenses, including the repayment of the amounts evidenced by any receiver’s certificates, (b) court costs, (c) reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses, and (d) costs of advertisement; and second, as provided in Section 2.12(c) of the Credit Agreement.
 
Section 3.4  Payment of the purchase price to Trustee shall satisfy the obligation of the purchaser at such sale therefor, and such purchaser shall not be responsible for the application thereof. The sale or sales 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 or sales of less than the whole of the Property shall be less than the aggregate of the indebtedness and the expenses thereof, this Deed of Trust and the lien, security interest, and assignment hereof shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Property just as though no sale or sales had been made; provided, however, that Grantor shall never have any right to require the sale or sales of less than the whole of the Property, but Beneficiary shall have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than the whole of the Property.
 
Section 3.5  If an Event of Default occurs, the holder of the indebtedness or any part thereof on which the payment is delinquent shall have the option to proceed with foreclosure in satisfaction of such item either through judicial proceedings or by directing Trustee to proceed as if under a full foreclosure, conducting the sale as herein provided without declaring the entire indebtedness due, and if sale is made because of default in the payment of an installment, or a part of an installment, such sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the indebtedness; and it is agreed that such sale, if so made, shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the indebtedness, but as to such matured part this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect as though no sale had been made under the provisions of this paragraph. Several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of any indebtedness. At any such sale the purchaser may disaffirm any easement granted, or rental, lease, or other contract made, in violation of any provision of this Deed of Trust, and may take immediate possession of the Property free from, and despite the terms of, such grant of easement and rental or lease contract. Beneficiary may bid and become the purchaser of all or any part of the Property at any trustee’s or foreclosure sale hereunder, and the amount of Beneficiary’s successful bid may be credited on the indebtedness.
 
6

Section 3.6  Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article, the assignment of the Rents and Leases hereunder, the security interests hereunder, nor any other remedies afforded to Beneficiary or the Lenders under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause Beneficiary or any Lender to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Property, to obligate Beneficiary or any Lender to lease the Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.
 
       ARTICLE 4  
TRUSTEE
 
Section 4.1  If the Trustee shall die or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust or shall fail or refuse to execute the same when requested by the Beneficiary to do so, or if, for any reason, the Beneficiary shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee to act instead of the Trustee herein named, or any substitute trustee previously appointed, the Beneficiary shall have the full power to appoint, by written instrument a substitute trustee, or several substitute trustees in succession, who shall succeed to all of the estate, rights, powers and duties of the Trustee herein named.
 
Section 4.2  Except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission or error of judgment. Trustee may rely on any document believed by him in good faith to be genuine. All money received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust, but need not be segregated (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall not be liable for interest thereon.
 
Section 4.3  To the extent that this Deed of Trust or applicable law authorizes or empowers Beneficiary to exercise any remedies set forth herein or otherwise, or perform any acts in connection therewith, Trustee (but not to the exclusion of Beneficiary unless so required under the law of the State of Texas) shall have the power to exercise any or all such remedies, and to perform any acts provided for in this Deed of Trust in connection therewith, all for the benefit of Beneficiary and on Beneficiary’s behalf in accordance with applicable law of the State of Texas. In connection therewith, Trustee: (a) shall not exercise, or waive the exercise of, any Beneficiary’s remedies (other than any rights of Trustee to any indemnity or reimbursement), except at Beneficiary’s request, and (b) shall exercise, or waive the exercise of, any or all of Beneficiary’s remedies at Beneficiary’s request, and in accordance with Beneficiary’s directions as to the manner of such exercise or waiver. Trustee may, however, decline to follow Beneficiary’s request or direction if Trustee shall be advised by counsel that the action or proceeding, or manner thereof, so directed may not lawfully be taken or waived.

ARTICLE 5  
ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
 
Section 5.1  In furtherance of and in addition to the assignment made by Grantor herein, Grantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns, sells, transfers and conveys to Beneficiary all of its right, title and interest in and to all Leases, whether now existing or hereafter entered into, and all of its right, title and interest in and to all Rents. This assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor shall have a revocable license from Beneficiary to exercise all rights extended to the landlord under the Leases, including the right to receive and collect all Rents for use in the payment and performance of the Indebtedness and to otherwise use the same. The foregoing license is granted subject to the conditional limitation that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings have commenced, and without regard to adequacy of security for the Indebtedness or solvency of Grantor, the license herein granted shall automatically expire and terminate, without notice by Beneficiary (any such notice being hereby expressly waived by Grantor).
 
Section 5.2  Grantor acknowledges that upon recordation of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and in the case of security deposits, rights of depositors and requirements of law. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary’s interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected, “choate” and enforced as to Grantor and all third parties, including, without limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Deed of Trust, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action.
 
Section 5.3  Without limitation of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Grantor and Beneficiary agree that (a) this Deed of Trust shall constitute a “security agreement” for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this Deed of Trust extends to the Property acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents, and (c) such security interest shall extend to all Rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.

ARTICLE 6  
MISCELLANEOUS
 
Section 6.1  To the extent that proceeds of the Obligations are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or encumbrance affecting the Property, such proceeds have been advanced by Beneficiary at Grantor’s request, and Beneficiary shall be subrogated to all rights, interests and liens owned or held by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, charges and encumbrances, irrespective of whether such liens, charges or encumbrances are released of record; provided, however, that the terms and provisions hereof shall govern the rights and remedies of Beneficiary and shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights, and remedies under another lien or liens to which Beneficiary is subrogated hereunder.
 
Section 6.2  No waiver of any default on the part of Grantor or breach of any of the provisions of this Deed of Trust or of any other instrument executed in connection with the Obligations shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach, and no delay or omission in exercising or enforcing the rights and powers, and likewise no exercise or enforcement of any rights or powers hereunder shall be held to exhaust such rights and powers, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time. Acceptance by Beneficiary of partial payments shall not constitute a waiver of the default by failure to make full payments.
 
Section 6.3  To the extent that Grantor may lawfully do so, Grantor hereby expressly waives any right pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents, or other matter to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Beneficiary to sell the Property for the collection of the Obligations (without any or different resort for collection), or the right of Beneficiary to the payment of the Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other person and claimant.
 
Section 6.4  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor by virtue of any present or future law or judicial decision exempting the Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment; (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of Beneficiary’s election to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Credit Documents, except as required to be provided under the Credit Agreement; and (c) any right to a sale in inverse order of alienation. Grantor waives any statutory right of redemption and equity of redemption.
 
Section 6.5  Grantor waives any right or remedy which Grantor may have or be able to assert pursuant to Chapter 34 of the Business and Commerce Code of the State of Texas pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties.
 
Section 6.6  Grantor hereby waives appraisement, or does not waive appraisement, at the option of the Beneficiary, to be exercised at any time prior to or at entry of judgment in any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust. Grantor expressly agrees that the Trustee may offer the Property as a whole or in such parcels or lots as the Beneficiary, in its sole discretion elects, regardless of the manner in which the Property may be described. Furthermore, in the event an interest in any of the Property is foreclosed upon pursuant to a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale, the Grantor agrees as follows: 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, the Grantor agrees that Beneficiary or Trustee, as the case may be, shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from the Grantor and any other party obligated in respect of the Obligations equal to the difference between the amount of the Obligations and the amount for which the Property was sold pursuant to judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale. The Grantor expressly recognizes that this Section constitutes a waiver of the above-cited provisions of the Texas Property Code which would otherwise permit the 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. The 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 the Grantor or any other person against whom recovery of a deficiency is sought.

Section 6.7  In the event that the amount secured by the Deed of Trust is less than the Indebtedness, then the amount secured shall be reduced only by the last and final sums that Borrower repays with respect to the Indebtedness and shall not be reduced by any intervening repayments of the Indebtedness unless arising from the Property. So long as the balance of the Indebtedness exceeds the amount secured, any payments of the Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be applied against, or to reduce, the portion of the Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust. Such payments shall instead be deemed to reduce only such portions of the Indebtedness as are secured by other collateral located outside of the state in which the Property is located or as are unsecured.
 
Section 6.8  All obligations contained in this Deed of Trust are intended by Grantor and Beneficiary to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Property. As used herein, “Grantor” shall refer to the party named in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust and to any subsequent owner of all or any portion of the Property. All Persons who acquire an interest in the Property shall be deemed to have notice of, and be bound by, the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; however, no such party shall be entitled to any rights thereunder without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. In addition, all of the covenants of Grantor in any Loan Document party thereto are incorporated herein by reference and, together with covenants in this Section, shall be covenants running with the land.
 
Section 6.9  (a) At the time provided in clause (b)(iii) of Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement, the Property shall be released from the Lien created hereby and this Deed of Trust and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Beneficiary and Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Property shall revert to the Grantor. At the request of Grantor following any such termination, the Beneficiary shall execute and deliver to Grantor such documents as Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
 
(b)  If the Beneficiary shall be directed or permitted pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.10(b) of the Credit Agreement to release any Lien or any portion of the Property, such Property shall be released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, such clauses (i) and (ii). In connection therewith, the Beneficiary, at the request of Grantor, shall execute and deliver to Grantor such documents as Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release.
 
Section 6.10  THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERCEDE 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.

In case any one or more provisions of this Rider may be found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason or in any respect, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not limit or impair enforcement any other provisions of this Rider.

2.10  Security Agreement. This Deed of Trust shall constitute a security agreement under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”) in each applicable jurisdiction with respect to Fixtures, now or hereafter acquired by Grantor, which might otherwise be deemed “personal property” covered by this Deed of Trust. Grantor has granted and does hereby grant Beneficiary a security interest in the Fixtures and in all additions and accessions thereto, renewals and replacements thereof and all substitutions therefor and proceeds thereof for the purpose of securing all Obligations now or hereafter secured by this Deed of Trust.

The Beneficiary shall have the right at any time to file a manually executed counterpart or a carbon, photostatic or other reproduction of this Deed of Trust as a financing statement in either the central or local property records of any jurisdiction wherein the collateral is situated, but the failure of the Beneficiary to do so shall not impair (i) the effectiveness of this Deed of Trust as a fixture filing as permitted by Section 9.402(f) of the Uniform Commercial Code, or (ii) the validity and enforceability of this Deed of Trust in any respect whatsoever.

In the event that any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Beneficiary may declare the Indebtedness immediately due and payable, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement, whereupon such Indebtedness shall be forthwith due and payable without demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and all other notices or further actions of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Grantor.

3.3  Receiver. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or actual or threatened waste to all or any part of the Property, or at any time while a suit is pending to foreclose or reform this Deed of Trust or to enforce any provision hereof, Beneficiary shall have the right to apply without notice for the appointment of a receiver of all or any part of the Property and the rents and profits thereof, and such receiver shall have all the broad and effective functions and powers anywhere entrusted by a court to a receiver.

3.5  Uniform Commercial Code. If the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code are applicable to any property or security given to secure the indebtedness secured hereby which is sold in combination with or as a part of the Property, or any part thereof, at one or more foreclosure sales, any notice required under such provisions shall be fully satisfied by the notice given in execution of the power of sale or other provision in accordance with which the sale of real property pursuant to such foreclosure is held with respect to the Property or any part thereof.
 
3.6  Rights Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy conferred upon Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement and by all other documents evidencing or securing the Obligations and conferred by law or in equity is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein or therein set forth or otherwise so existing, may be exercised from time to time, as often, and in such order, as may be deemed expedient by Beneficiary, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one right, power or remedy shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy, and no delay or omission of, or discontinuance by, Beneficiary in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing hereunder or arising otherwise shall impair my such right, power or remedy, or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein. To constitute a waiver, there must be a writing signed by an officer of Beneficiary and directed to Grantor, specifying the waiver.
 
3.7  Restoration. In case Beneficiary shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Deed of Trust or the Credit Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to Beneficiary, then and in every such case Grantor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Beneficiary shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken. In the event of a breach or default under this Deed of Trust or under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, Grantor agrees to pay and to indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary and the Lenders for all reasonable expenses, attorneys’ fees, taxes and other court costs occasioned by such breach or default.

4.3  Future Advances; Revolving Credit Advances. This Deed of Trust shall secure, and constitute a lien upon the Property for, all future advances and revolving credit advances or readvances made by Beneficiary or any of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement at any time or times hereafter, whether or not any reference is made to this Deed of Trust at the time such advances are made, and all such sums shall be equally secured with and, to the extent permitted by law, have the same priority as the Obligations outstandings as of the date hereof. A portion of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is revolving credit indebtedness. The Credit Agreement provides that a portion of the principal sum of $125,000,000.00 may be advanced, repaid and readvanced from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the aggregate principal advances during the tem of the Credit Agreement may exceed $125,000,000.00; provided, however, at no time shall the aggregate outstanding principal balance exceed $125,000,000.00, except for advances made to protect the lien of this Deed of Trust as hereinabove provided. Grantor agrees that if the outstanding balance of the Credit Agreement, principal and interest, is ever repaid to zero (despite any express prohibition to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement), the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust shall not be deemed released or extinguished by operation of law or implied intent of the parties. This Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect as to any further advances or readvances under the Credit Agreement made after any such zero balance until the Obligations are paid in full, all agreements to make further advances and readvances have been terminated and this Deed of Trust has been canceled of record. Grantor waives the operation of any applicable statute, case law or regulation having a contrary effect. The outstanding principal amount of the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a variable rate or rates calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Deed of Trust with regard to all references made to it in this Deed of Trust.
 
4.4  Modification. No change, amendment, modification, cancellation or discharge of this Deed of Trust, or any part hereof, shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns.
 
4.5  Captions. Section headings are inserted for convenience of reference only, do not form part of this Deed of Trust and shall be disregarded for purposes of the interpretation of the terms of this Deed of Trust.
