Mortgagee may, where permitted by Law, request Trustee to proceed with
foreclosure, and in such event Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, and it shall
be his or her special duty, upon such request of Mortgagee, and to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, to sell all or any part of the Mortgaged Property at one or more sales, as
an entirety or in parcels, at such place or places and otherwise in such manner and upon
such notice as may be required by applicable Law, or, in the absence of any such
requirement, as Trustee or Mortgagee may reasonably deem appropriate, and to make
conveyance to the purchaser or purchasers thereof. Any such sale shall be made to the
highest bidder or bidders for cash, at the courthouse door of the county wherein the
Mortgaged Property is situated; provided, that, if the Mortgaged Property is situated in
more than one county, such sale of the Mortgaged Property, or part thereof, may be made

or printed notice at the courthouse door in the county, or if more than one, then in each of
the counties, where the Subject Interests then subject to the Liens of this Mortgage are
situated, which notice shall designate the county where the Mortgaged Property (or the
part thereof to be sold) will be sold, and which notice shall be posted for at least three
consecutive weeks before the day of sale, and Mortgagee shall, at least 21 calendar days
preceding the date of sale, serve written notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on
Mortgagor or other Person obligated to pay the Obligations according to the records of
Mortgagee; and if the Mortgaged Property to be sold is not situated in Texas, then such
sale shall be made at public outcry, on the day of any month, during the hours of such
day, and after written notices thereof have been publicly posted in such places and for
such time periods and all Persons entitled to notice thereof have been sent such notice, all
as required by applicable Law. If the applicable Law in force as of the Effective Date
hereof should hereafter be amended to require a different notice of sale applicable to sales
of property of the nature of the Mortgaged Property under powers of sale conferred by
1396749vl BAN 177 /13010

ûOOO1.5
deeds of trust, Trustee may, in his or her sole discretion, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, give either the notice of sale required by applicable Law in effect on the
Effective Date or the notice of sale prescribed by the amended Law; and nothing herein
shall be deemed to require Mortgagee or Trustee to do, and Mortgagee and Trustee shall
not be required to do, any act other than as required by applicable Law in effect at the
time of any such sale. After such sale, Trustee shall make to the purchaser or purchasers
thereunder good and sufficient deeds, assignments or bills of sale in the name of
Mortgagor, conveying or transferring the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, so sold

Property. In addition to the rights and other powers of sale granted under the preceding
provisions of this Section 6.1 (t), if any Event of Default has occurred in the payment of
any installment of the Obligations, Mortgagee may, subject to, and in accordance with,
the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, at its option, at once or at any time
thereafter while any matured installment remains unpaid, without declaring the entire
Obligations to be due and payable, orally or in writing, enforce, or direct Trustee to
enforce (as provided by applicable Law), the Liens created by this Mortgage and sell the
Mortgaged Property subject to such matured indebtedness and the Liens securing its
payment, in the same manner, on the same terms, at the same place and time and after
having given notice in the same manner, all as provided in the preceding provisions of
this Section 6.1 (f). After such sale, Mortgagee or Trustee (as provided by applicable
Law) shall make due conveyance to the purchaser or purchasers. Sales made without
maturing the Obligations may be made hereunder whenever there is an Event of Default
in the payment of any installment of the Obligations without exhausting the power of sale
granted hereby and without affecting in any way the power of sale granted under this
Section 6.1(t). the unmatured balance of the Obligations (except. as to any proceeds of
any sale which Mortgagee may apply as prepayment of the Obligations), or the Liens
securing payment of the Obligations. The sale or sales of less than the whole of the
Mortgaged Property shall not exhaust the power of sale herein granted, and Mortgagee or
Trustee (as provided by applicable Law) is specifically empowered to make successive
sale or sales under such power until the whole of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold. It
is intended by each of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1 (t) that Mortgagee may,
and if applicable, Trustee may, after any request or direction by Mortgagee, sell not only
the Subject Interests but also all other items constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property
along with the Subject Interests, or any part thereof, all as a unit and as a part of a single
sale, or may sell any part of the Mortgaged Property separately from the remainder of the
Mortgaged Property. If the proceeds of such sale or sales of less than the whole of such
Mortgaged Property shall be less than the aggregate of the Obligations and the expense of
enforcing the trust created by this instrument, the Liens of this Mortgage shall remain in
full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Mortgaged Property just as though no
sale or sales of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property had occurred, but
Mortgagee shall have the right, at its sole election, to sell, or as applicable, request
Trustee to sell, less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property. In the event any questions

Trustee (as provided by applicable Law) shall have the right and is hereby authorized to
make resale of said property so as to remove any questions or doubt as to the regularity or
validity of the previous sale, and as many resales may be made as may be appropriate. It

applicable Law), any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made as to the

to the request to sell, notice of sale, time, place, terms, and manner of sale, and receipt,
distribution, and application of the money realized therefrom, or as to the due and proper
appointment of a substitute Trustee, and, without being limited by the foregoing, as to

by any Governmental Authority as prima facie evidence that the said statements or
recitals are true and correct and are without further question to be so accepted, and
Mortgagor does hereby ratify and confirm any and all acts that Trustee may lawfully do
in the premises by virtue hereof. In the event of the resignation or death of Trustee, or his
or her failure, refusal, or inability, for any reason, to make any such sale or to perform
any of the trusts herein declared, or, at the option of Mortgagee, without cause,
Mortgagee may appoint, in writing, a substitute trustee, who shall thereupon succeed to
all the estates, titles, rights, powers, and trusts herein granted to and vest in Trustee. If

made on behalf of such Mortgagee by any Person who is then the president, or any vice-
president, or the cashier or secretary, or any other authorized officer or agent of
Mortgagee. In the event of the resignation or death of any such substitute trustee, or his
or her failure, refusal, or inability to make such sale or perform such trusts, or, at the
option of Mortgagee, without cause, Mortgagee may appoint successive substitute

interest any such excess, such amount which would be deemed excessive interest shall be
deemed a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and if the Loan is paid
in full, any remaining excess shall promptly be paid to the Mortgagor. In determining whether or
not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the Maximum Lawful
Rate, Mortgagor and Banks shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, (a) characterize
any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in
equal parts, the total amount of the interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Loan
and the Notes, so that the interest rate is the Maximum Lawful Rate throughout the entire term of
the Loan and the Notes; provided, however, that if the unpaid principal balance thereof is paid
and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest
received fQr the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, Banks
shall refund to Mortgagor the amount of such excess and, in such event, Banks shall not be
subject to any penalties provided by any Laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or
receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate.
