5. Partial Invalidity. In the event any portion of the sums intended to be secured by this Deed of Trust cannot be lawfully secured hereby, payments in reduction of such sums shall be applied first to those portions not secured hereby- In the event that any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected is interpreted so that any charge provided for in this Deed of Trust or in the Note, whether considered separately or together with other charges that are considered a part of this Deed of Trust and Note transaction, violates such law by reason of the acceleration of the indebtedness secured hereby, or for any other reason, such charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such violation. The amounts of such interest or other charges previously paid to Beneficiary in excess of the amounts permitted by applicable law shall be applied by Beneficiary to reduce the principal of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, or, at Beneficiary’s option, be refunded.

Grantor assigns to Beneficiary all sums payable to or received by Grantor from condemnation of all or part of the property, from private sale in lieu of condemnation, and from damages caused by public works or construction on or near the property. After deducting any expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees, Beneficiary may release any remaining sums to Grantor or apply such sums to reduce the note. Beneficiary shall not be liable for failure to collect or to exercise diligence in collecting any such sums.
7. Grantor acknowledges the applicability of the Texas Assignment of Rents Act, Chapter 64, Texas Property Code to this financing (“TARA”). If Grantor defaults in payment of the note or performance of this deed of trust, Beneficiary shall avail itself of the provisions of TARA. Beneficiary shall apply all rent and other Income and receipts collected under this paragraph first to expenses incurred in exercising Beneficiary’s rights and remedies and then to Grantor’s obligations under the note and this deed of trust in the order determined by Beneficiary. Beneficiary is not required to act under this paragraph, and acting under this paragraph does not waive any of Beneficiary’s other rights or remedies. The filing of this deed of trust constitutes a security agreement with respect to the rents and all personal property. In the event a separate Assignment of Leases and Rents agreement is executed as a part of this transaction, the separate agreement will prevail in the event of a conflict between this provision and the Assignment of Leases and Rents.

The Note hereby secured represents and is given for the sum of $500,000.00 this day advanced and paid in cash by WeinRitter Realty, LP to the Grantor herein at its special instance and request, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by Grantor.
13. The Note hereby secured is not assumable. If all or any part of the real property herein described is sold, transferred, leased for a period longer than 3 years, or otherwise conveyed, including by contract of sale, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, then Beneficiary may at its option declare the outstanding principal balance of the Note hereby secured, plus accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable.

15. Nothing in the note hereby secured shall authorize the collection of interest in excess of the highest rate allowed by law. All agreements between Grantor and Beneficiary are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Beneficiary for the use, forbearance. or detention of the money lent exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of the note hereby secured at the time such performance is due would involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any circumstances Beneficiary shall receive as interest an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under said note hereby secured, or shall be refunded, but shall not be applied to payment of interest. The provisions of this paragraph will control all agreements between Grantor and Beneficiary.

Further, the Grantor herein agrees to furnish the Beneficiary up-to-date policies or renewals of policies of insurance in an amount of at least the Note, insuring all improvements upon the herein described real property against loss or damage by fire and windstorm, and any other hazard which Beneficiary may reasonably require, and naming Beneficiary in a mortgage indemnity cause. In the event Grantor fails to furnish proof of payment of taxes and/or proof of payment of insurance as set forth above, then Beneficiary may, at its sole discretion, charge Grantor the sum of $50 for its fees and costs incurred as the result of Grantor’s noncompliance with this paragraph.
17. BENEFICIARY’S RIGHT TO PAY AD VALOREM TAXES AND INSURANCE PREMIUMS: If Grantor fails to pay as same become due and payable, all taxes. assessments and other charges imposed, levied or assessed against said Property or to maintain the insurance coverage, all as herein provided, Beneficiary may, at its option and without waiver of any other rights granted by the Note hereby secured or this Deed of Trust for breach of the covenants contained herein, procure and pay for any such insurance coverage and pay any such taxes, assessments and other charges, including any sums that may be necessary to redeem the Property from tax sale, without obligation to inquire into the validity of any such taxes, assessments, charges and tax sales, the receipts of the proper officers being conclusive evidence of the validity and amount thereof. All amounts so paid by Beneficiary shall immediately become due to Beneficiary, together with interest thereon from the date on which said payments were made at the rate provided in the Note hereby secured, and all such amounts shall be added to and become a part of the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust.
18. It is specifically agreed and understood that the creation of a lien against the property described herein for the purpose of paying ad valorem taxes on the property shall be a default hereunder and Beneficiary may immediately commence proceedings to protect its lien position.
19. Transfer of Tax Liens. Grantor(s) shall not, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, borrow money from any third party to pay ad valorem (property) taxes assessed against the Property nor transfer a tax lien against the Property pursuant to Section 32.06 of the Texas Tax Code, or any successor statute- Unless Beneficiary shall give prior written consent thereto, any such authorization given by Grantor(s) shall be void and of no force or effect, and any transfer of tax lien under such authority, and/or any deed of trust executed by Grantor(s) for the benefit of the transferee of any such tax lien, shall likewise be void and of no force or effect. In order to be effective, written consent by the Beneficiary under this paragraph must be duly executed by an officer of Beneficiary and recorded prior to date of the authorization by Grantor(s) to which it relates in the real property records of each county in which the Property, or any portion thereof, is located.
20. Notice Provision: Grantor expressly covenants and agrees that its address for all notices shall be its address as set forth on Page 1 of this document, and shall remain the address for notices unless Grantor requests IN WRITING that the notice be sent to a different address.

21. Grantor agrees that in consideration of the loan secured by the Note herein secured and this Deed of Trust, it will at its sole cost provide an appraisal of the Property satisfactory to International Bank of Commerce, prepared by an appraiser acceptable to International Bank of Commerce and dated within the time period required by International Bank of Commerce.
22. To the extent permitted by law, Guarantor expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies of surety, including but not limited to, all rights and remedies under Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code and Chapter 34 of the Business & Commerce Code of the State of Texas.
(a) In the event an interest in any of the Mortgaged Property is foreclosed upon pursuant to a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale, Grantor agrees as follows: notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 51.003, 51.004, and 51.005 of the Property Code (as the same may be amended from time to time) and to the extent permitted by law, Grantor agrees that Bank shall be entitled to seek deficiency judgment from Grantor and/or any other party obligated on the Indebtedness equal to the difference between the amount owing on the Indebtedness and the amount for which the Mortgaged Property was sold pursuant to judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Grantor expressly recognizes that this constitutes a waiver of the above-cited provisions of the Property Code which would otherwise permit Grantor and other persons against whom recovery of deficiencies is sought or Guarantor independently (even absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of the Mortgaged 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. 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 Mortgaged Property for purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Grantor and/or others against whom recovery of a deficiency is sought.
(b) Alternatively, in the event the waiver provided for in Subsection (a) above is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the following shall be the basis for the finder of fact’s determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings governed by Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Property Code (as amended from time to time): (I) the Mortgaged Property shall be valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Mortgaged Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of the Mortgaged Property after foreclosure; (ii) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Mortgaged Property for cash promptly (but not later than twelve [12] months) following the foreclosure sale; (iii) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance, a survey of the Mortgaged Property, tax prorations, attorneys’ fees, and marketing costs; (iv) the gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property shall be further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Mortgaged Property pending sale, including, without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, taxes and assessments (to the extent not accounted for in (iii) above), and other maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (v) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property must be given by persons having at least five (5) years experience in appraising property similar to the Mortgaged Property and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Mortgaged Property taking into consideration the factors set forth above.
