to execute with Trustee (without the consent of Secured Party), an amendment to

judgment of Debtor not less than the then unpaid principal amount of the Note.
THIS CONVEYANCE, HOWEVER, IS IN TRUST to secure prompt performance by
Debtor to Secured Party as described hereinabove under the provisions of this
Deed of Trust. If Debtor shall discharge its obligation to Secured Party
according to the tenor of the Loan Agreement and Note described hereinabove and
shall perform all covenants made by Debtor to Secured Party herein, then this
conveyance shall be void and of no effect. If Debtor shall be in default in the
performance of its obligations under its Loan Agreement and Note described
hereinabove, then, in that event, Trustee shall, at the request of Secured
Party, sell the Property conveyed, or a sufficiency thereof, to satisfy the
Indebtedness at public outcry to the highest bidder for cash. Sale of the
property shall be advertised for three consecutive weeks preceding the sale in a
newspaper published in the county where the Property is situated, or if none is
so published, then in some newspaper having a general circulation therein, and
by posting a notice for the same time at the courthouse of the same county. The
notice and advertisement shall disclose the names of the original Debtor in this
Deed of Trust.
Secured Party shall have the same right to purchase the property at the
foreclosure sale as would a purchaser who is not a party to this Deed of Trust.
Debtor waives the provisions of Section 89-1-55 of the Mississippi Code of 1972,
as amended, if any, as far as this section restricts the right of Trustee to
offer at sale more than 160 acres at a time, and Trustee may offer the property
herein as a whole, regardless of how it is described.
From the proceeds of the sale Trustee shall first pay all costs of the
sale including reasonable compensation to Trustee; then the Indebtedness due
Secured Party by Debtor, including accrued interest and attorney's fees due for
collection of the debt; and then, lastly, any balance remaining to Debtor.
IT IS AGREED that this conveyance is made subject to the covenants,
stipulations and conditions set forth below which shall be binding upon all
parties hereto.
1. Debtor shall pay all taxes and assessments, general or special,
levied against the Property or upon the interest of Trustee or Secured Party
therein, during the term of this Deed of Trust before such taxes or assessments
become delinquent, except to the extent the same may be contested.
2. Debtor shall keep the Property in good repair and shall not
permit or commit waste, impairment or deterioration thereof. Debtor shall use
the Property for lawful purposes only.
3. Debtor shall be in default under the provisions of this Deed of
Trust if Debtor shall default in the performance according to the tenor of the
Loan Agreement and Note described hereinabove.
4. Secured Party may by giving 30 days written notice to the original
or any successor Trustee, and to Debtor, appoint another person or succession of
persons to act as Trustee, and such appointee in the execution of this trust
shall have all the powers vested in and obligations imposed upon Trustee.
5. This Deed of Trust and the rights of the Secured Party hereunder are
subordinate in their entirety to the lien of that certain Mortgage Indenture
dated as of September 1, 1941 and recorded in the Records of the Mortgages and
Deeds of Trust on Land in Xxxxxxx County, Mississippi, executed by the Debtor
named herein, with The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee for the benefit of the
holders of certain obligations of Debtor (the "Trust Indenture"). This Deed of
Trust, and the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, are also subordinate to
the rights of the Trustee named in the Trust Indenture and the parties secured
thereby with respect to any future indebtedness issued by the Debtor and secured
by the Trust Indenture as it is now constituted and as it may be subsequently
supplemented and/or amended. In the event the Debtor shall elect to sell all or
part of the property secured hereby and Debtor's obligations secured by the
Trust Indenture shall not have been fully satisfied at the time of such sale,
the entire proceeds from such a sale shall be paid over by Debtor to the Trustee
under the Trust Indenture and the Secured Party named herein shall have no right
to receive any part thereof unless and until all obligations then secured by the
Trust Indenture shall be fully paid. A release by the Trustee named in the Trust
Indenture, or any successor thereto, of all or of any of such property so sold
shall constitute a release of the lien of this Deed of Trust by the Secured
Party named herein; Secured Party, by accepting this Deed of Trust, hereby
appoints the Trustee for the Trust Indenture as its agent and attorney-in-fact
for the purpose of releasing from the lien of this Deed of Trust all or any
parts of the property described herein in the event of a sale of all or any part
thereof by the Debtor; and, in such event, Secured Party disclaims any right to
receive any of the proceeds from any such sale unless Debtor shall at the time
be in default under the terms of its Note secured hereby; and then only to the
extent that all of the obligations of the Debtor then secured by the Trust
Indenture are first satisfied.
6. Notices required herein from Secured Party to Debtor shall be sent
to the address of Debtor shown in this Deed of Trust.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Debtor has executed this Deed of Trust on the 1st
day of July, 1997.
