SECTION 1.12 Alterations, Additions, etc. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustor shall have the right at any time and from time to time to make or cause to be made alterations of and additions to the Property or any part thereof, provided that any alteration or addition: (a) shall not materially change the general character or the use of the Property (other than with respect to Non-Facility Assets) or materially reduce the fair market value thereof below its value immediately before such alteration or addition, or materially impair the usefulness of the Property; (b) is effected with due diligence, in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance in all material respects with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements; (c) subject to the Indenture and Section 1.8, is promptly and fully paid for, or caused to be paid for, by the Trustor; and (d) is made, in case the estimated cost of such alteration or addition exceeds U.S. $1,000,000, under the supervision of a qualified architect or engineer or another professional.

SECTION 1.13 Acquired Property Subject to Lien. Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and except as otherwise permitted by the Indenture, all property at any time acquired by the Trustor and provided or required by this Deed of Trust to be or become subject to the lien and security interest hereof, whether such property is acquired by exchange, purchase, construction or otherwise, shall forthwith become subject to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust without further action on the part of the Trustor or the Beneficiary. Upon written request of Beneficiary, the Trustor, at its expense, will execute and deliver to the Beneficiary (and will record and file as provided in Section 1.4) an instrument supplemental to this Deed of Trust reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Beneficiary, whenever such an instrument is necessary under applicable law to subject to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust all right, title and interest of the Trustor in and to all property provided or required by this Deed of Trust to be subject to the lien and security interest hereof.

SECTION 1.14 Assignment of Rents. The assignment, grant and conveyance of the Leases and Rents, Proceeds and other rents, income proceeds and benefits of the Trust Premises contained in the Granting Clause of this Deed of Trust shall constitute an absolute, present and irrevocable assignment, grant and conveyance, provided, however, that permission is hereby given to the Trustor, so long as no sale, foreclosure or other proceeding pursuant to Article III hereof to convey any interest in the Trust Premises has been commenced (each of the foregoing, a “Triggering Event”), to: (i) collect, receive and apply such Rents, Proceeds and other rents, income, proceeds and benefits from the Trust Premises as they become due and payable, but not further in advance thereof than is customary, and in accordance with all of the other terms, conditions and provisions hereof, of the Indenture, the Collateral Documents, Leases, Contracts and any other agreements and/or instruments with respect to which such payments are made or such other benefits are conferred; or (ii) pledge to the First Lien Collateral Agent the right to collect, receive and apply such Rents, Proceeds and other rents, income, proceeds and benefits to the extent same constitute Proceeds of Second Lien Collateral that are First Lien Collateral (as each such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). 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 further grants to the Beneficiary the right, at the Beneficiary’s option, upon the occurrence and continuance of a Triggering Event hereunder, to:

(a) enter upon and take possession of the Property for the purpose of collecting Rents, Proceeds and said rents, income, proceeds and other benefits;

(b) dispossess by the customary summary proceedings any tenant, purchaser or other Person that is not a party to a lease which is a Permitted Encumbrance;

(d) apply Rents, Proceeds and such other rents, income, proceeds and other benefits of the Trust Premises, after the payment of all necessary fees, charges and expenses, on account of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 3.11.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Trustor has pledged to the First Lien Collateral Agent the right to collect, receive and apply such Rents, Proceeds and other rents, income, proceeds and benefits to the extent same constitute Proceeds of Second Lien Collateral that are First Lien Collateral, then permission is given to the First Lien Collateral Agent to continue to collect, receive and apply same until a Disposition occurs affecting the Trust Premises from which such Rents, Proceeds and other rents, income, proceeds and benefits are generated. Nothing in this Section 1.14 shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 1.15 No Claims Against the Trustee or the Beneficiary. Nothing contained in this Deed of Trust shall constitute any consent or request by the Trustee or the Beneficiary, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof, or be construed to permit the making of any claim against the Trustee or the Beneficiary in respect of labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property or any claim that any lien based on the performance of such labor or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust. All contractors, subcontractors, vendors and other persons dealing with the Property, or with any persons interested therein, are hereby advised to take notice of the provisions of this Section.

The Trustor will protect, indemnify, save harmless and defend the Trustee and the Beneficiary, the Secured Parties and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” and individually, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party by reason of (a) ownership of an interest in this Deed of Trust, the Indenture, the Notes or any of the Collateral Documents, (b) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to or loss of the use of property occurring on or about the Property or any part thereof or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault spaces, if any, streets, alleys or ways, (c) any use, non-use or condition of the Trust Premises or any part thereof or the sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault spaces, if any, streets, alleys or ways adjoining the Property, (d) any failure on the part of the Trustor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Deed of Trust, the Indenture, the Notes or any of the other Collateral Documents, (e) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Trust Premises or any part thereof made or suffered to be made by or on behalf of the Trustor, (f) any negligence or tortious act on the part of Trustor or any of its agents, contractors, lessees, licensees or invitees, (g) any work in connection with any alterations,

changes, new construction or demolition of or additions to the Trust Premises, or (h)(i) any Hazardous Material on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property, the groundwater, or any surrounding areas, (ii) any misrepresentation, inaccuracy or breach of any warranty, covenant or agreement contained or referred to in Sections 1.20 and 1.21, (iii) any violation or claim of violation by the Trustor of any Environmental Laws, or (iv) the imposition of any lien for damages caused by or the recovery of any costs for the cleanup, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Material, except to the extent that any of the matters described in subsections (a)-(h) arise out of the gross negligence, unlawful acts or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party.

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.

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.

The Trustor shall not be entitled to any credit against the Secured Obligations by reason of the payment of any tax on the Trust Premises or any part thereof or by reason of the payment of any other Imposition, and shall not apply for or claim any deduction from the taxable value of the Trust Premises or any part thereof by reason of this Deed of Trust.

SECTION 1.18 No Transfer of the Trust Premises. Except as is provided in the Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents, and except for the Permitted Encumbrances, the Trustor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (i) sell, convey, assign or otherwise transfer the Trust Premises or any portion of the Trustor’s interest therein or (ii) further encumber the Trust Premises or permit the Trust Premises to become encumbered by any lien,

claim, security interest or other indebtedness of any kind or nature other than the Permitted Encumbrances.

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. In order to induce the Beneficiary to enter into this Deed of Trust, the Indenture and the other Collateral Documents, the Trustor agrees that all of the representations and warranties of Trustor set forth in the Indenture are incorporated into 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.

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.

SECTION 2.1 Insurance.

SECTION 2.1.1 Risks to be Insured. 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. All insurance maintained by the Trustor pursuant to Section 2.1.1 shall: (a) be provided by insurers that are approved and licensed to conduct business or authorized to write insurance in the State of Texas with a minimum Best rating of “A-VIII” (provided that, with respect to the insurance maintained by Trustor on the date hereof, Trustor may maintain or renew such insurance with its current insurers if the Financial

Any insurance maintained pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be evidenced by blanket insurance policies covering the Property and other properties or assets of the Trustor, provided that any such policy shall specify the portion, if less than all, of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Trust Premises and shall in all other respects comply with the requirements of this Section 2.1.

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. If Trustor fails to obtain insurance in accordance herewith, Beneficiary may do so (but shall not be obligated to do so) and without limiting any of Beneficiary’s other remedies exercise its rights under Section 3.14.

SECTION 2.1.4 Separate Insurance. The Trustor will not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 2.1 unless such additional insurance will not affect Beneficiary’s rights with respect to the insurance maintained pursuant to this Section 2.1.

(a) any material damage to or destruction of the Trust Premises or any material part thereof; or

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. Any Net Loss Proceeds from an Event of Loss shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.17 of the Indenture.

ARTICLE III

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES, ETC.

SECTION 3.1 Event of Default; Acceleration. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in any such event the Beneficiary may at any time thereafter (unless all Events of Default shall theretofore have been remedied and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by or on behalf of the Beneficiary of which Trustor has notice shall have been paid in full by the Trustor) declare, by written notice to the Trustor, the Notes and all other Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately or on a date specified in such notice, and on such date the same shall be and become due and payable, together with interest accrued thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which the Trustor hereby waives. The Trustor will pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by or on behalf of the Beneficiary in enforcing this Deed of Trust, the Indenture, the Notes, or the Collateral Documents that are occasioned by any default hereunder.

SECTION 3.2 Legal Proceedings; Judicial Foreclosure. 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. Such sale shall be made at the courthouse of the county wherein the Land (or any of that portion thereof to be sold) is situated (whether the parts or parcels thereof, if any, in different counties are contiguous or not, and without the necessity of having any personal property hereby mortgaged present at such sale) on the first Tuesday of any month between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. after posting a written or printed notice or notices of the place, the earliest time at which the sale will begin and terms of the sale of the Trust Premises for twenty-one (21) days prior to the date of the sale at the courthouse door of the county in which the sale is to be made and at the courthouse door of any other county in which a portion of the Trust Premises may be situated and filing a copy of such notice(s) in the office of the county clerk in each of such counties, and by serving written notice of the proposed sale at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of sale by

certified mail on each debtor obligated to pay the Secured Obligations according to the records of the Beneficiary. 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

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 3.7 Receipt a Sufficient Discharge to Purchaser. Upon any sale of the Trust Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, the receipt of the Trustee or the officer making the sale under judicial proceedings shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and such purchaser shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.

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.

SECTION 3.9 Sale a Bar Against Trustor. Any lawfully conducted sale of the Trust Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, shall forever be a bar against the Trustor.

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 3.11 Application of Proceeds of Sale and Other Moneys. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture or in this Deed of Trust, the proceeds of any sale of the Trust Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, and all other moneys at any time held by the Beneficiary as part of the Trust Premises, shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Indenture.

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

accruing with respect thereto or any part thereof. The Trustee and the Beneficiary shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such taking of possession, entry, removal or holding, operation or management, except that any amounts so received by the Trustee and the Beneficiary shall be applied to pay all costs and expenses of so entering upon, taking possession of, holding, operating, maintaining, repairing, preserving and managing the Trust Premises or any part hereof, and any Impositions or other charges prior to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust which the Trustee and the Beneficiary may consider it necessary or desirable to pay, and any balance of such amounts shall be applied as provided in Section 3.11.

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 3.15 Subrogation. To the extent that the Beneficiary, on or after the date hereof, pays any sum due under any provision of any Legal Requirement or any instrument creating any lien prior or superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust, or the Trustor or any other Person pays any such sum with the proceeds of the Notes, the Beneficiary shall have and be entitled to a lien on the Trust Premises equal in priority to the lien discharged, and the Beneficiary shall be subrogated to, and receive and enjoy all rights and liens possessed, held or enjoyed by, the holder of such lien, which shall remain in existence and benefit the Beneficiary in securing the Secured Obligations.

SECTION 3.16 Remedies, etc., Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of the Beneficiary provided for in this Deed of Trust, the Indenture and in the Notes or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Deed of Trust, the Indenture, the Notes or the other Collateral Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Beneficiary or the Trustee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Deed of Trust, the Indenture, the Notes, or the other Collateral Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Beneficiary or the Trustee of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.

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

thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Deed of Trust invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of this Deed of Trust or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Deed of Trust and any other application of such term shall not be affected thereby.

SECTION 3.18 No Waiver, etc. No failure by the Trustee or the Beneficiary to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or of the Indenture, the Notes, or the other Collateral Documents or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach hereof or thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term or of any such breach. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Deed of Trust, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach. By accepting payment or performance of any amount or other Secured Obligations secured hereby before or after its due date, neither the Trustee nor the Beneficiary shall be deemed to have waived its right either to require prompt payment or performance when due of all other amounts and Secured Obligations payable or performance due hereunder or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment or performance.

SECTION 3.19 Compromise of Actions, etc. Any action, suit or proceeding brought by the Beneficiary pursuant to any of the terms of this Deed of Trust, the Indenture, the Notes, or the other Collateral Documents, or otherwise, and any claim made by the Beneficiary hereunder or thereunder, may be compromised, withdrawn or otherwise dealt with by the Beneficiary without any notice to or approval of the Trustor.

SECTION 5.12.2 Duties and Responsibility of Trustee; In Case of Default; Prior to Default; When Acting Under Direction of Beneficiary. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing to the actual knowledge of the Trustee, or if the Trustee shall have received notice thereof from the Beneficiary, the Trustee, only if so directed by the Beneficiary, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Deed of Trust, and in so doing shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 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

(f) none of the provisions contained in this Deed of Trust shall require the Trustee to advance or use its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

SECTION 5.12.3 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Trustor and to the Beneficiary. Such resignation shall

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. From the time the substitution is filed for record, the successor Trustee shall succeed to all of the powers, duties, authority and title of the Trustee without the necessity of any conveyance from the Trustee originally herein named or any successor. 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

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

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

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.
