What is a Deed Of Trust And Security Agreement?

A deed of trust and security agreement is a contract between a property buyer and a lender that determines the terms and conditions of the property loan. Per this type of agreement, a third party, called a trustee, holds the legal title for safekeeping until the final payment is made as agreed on the original loan. In other words, the deed of trust serves as security for the loan and is filed at the courthouse, where it is made available for public record.

The difference between a deed of trust vs mortgage is the third-party trustee. A mortgage typically includes two parties, whereas a deed of trust and security agreement involves three.

AND OTHER AGREEMENTS OF GRANTOR

 

2.01        Representations, Warranties, Covenants, and other Agreements of Grantor. Grantor and Borrower, as applicable, unconditionally represents, warrants, covenants, and agrees that:

 

(a) The Obligations set forth in the Security Documents are legal, valid, and binding on Grantor and Borrower, as applicable, in accordance with their terms, and no offsets or defenses exist against Beneficiary in favor of Grantor or Borrower which would in any way lessen or invalidate Grantor’s or Borrower’s liability under the Security Documents or the Indebtedness.

 

(b) The execution and delivery of, and performance under, the Security Documents are within Grantor’s and Borrower’s authority and powers.

 

DEED OF TRUST AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – PAGE 4

 

 
 

 

(c)      Grantor has good and indefeasible title to the Land, Improvements, and Fixtures, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, security interests, easements, or adverse claims except for those Permitted Exceptions, if any, set forth in Exhibit “B”, attached hereto. This Deed of Trust shall constitute a valid, subsisting first lien on the Land, Improvements, and Fixtures, all in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(d)     Borrower will duly and punctually: (i) pay the Indebtedness, as and when called for in the Security Documents; (ii) perform all of its Obligations, in full, on or before the date or dates same are to be performed; and (iii) cause each of the Impositions to be paid and discharged not later than the due dates thereof and furnish Beneficiary with evidence of such payment.

 

(e)      Grantor (and, to the extent within Borrower’s control, Borrower) will promptly and fully comply with all present and future Legal Requirements and cause all Improvements, included or to be included in the Property, to comply with all Legal Requirements.

 

(f)      Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain, preserve, and keep the Property in condition customary in the single-family development industry and will make, to the extent applicable, any necessary repairs, replacements, additions, improvements and alterations thereof and thereto, both structural and non-structural, which are necessary to keep the Property in such condition.

 

(g)     To the extent that any vertical improvements are constructed on the Property, Grantor will keep the Property insured against loss or damage by fire, explosion, windstorm, hail, tornado, flood (if the Property is located in an identified “flood hazard area”, in which flood insurance has been made available pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968), and other hazards by policies of fire and extended coverage and Grantor shall obtain and maintain such other insurance coverage as Beneficiary shall reasonably require. The insurance carriers providing such insurance shall be chosen by Grantor subject to Beneficiary’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(h)     Either Grantor or Borrower will deliver to Beneficiary true and correct copies of the original policies evidencing such insurance as specified in Section 2.01(f) above and any additional insurance which shall be taken out upon the Property and receipts evidencing the payment of all premiums, and certificates evidencing renewals of all such policies of insurance shall be delivered to Beneficiary at least ten (10) days before any such insurance shall expire; and that any such policies shall be payable to Beneficiary as its interest may appear, pursuant to a mortgagee clause attached which shall be satisfactory to Beneficiary, and shall provide for at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Beneficiary prior to cancellation of such policies. In the event of foreclosure, of this Deed of Trust, or other transfer of title to Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Borrower and/or Grantor in and to any such policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Beneficiary in the event of such transfer. In case of any insured loss under any such policies, Beneficiary, at its option, shall be entitled to receive and retain the proceeds of any such insurance policies, applying the same upon the Indebtedness or to apply such proceeds to the repair or restoration of the Improvements.

 

DEED OF TRUST AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – PAGE 5

 

 
 

 

(i)      Upon Beneficiary’s request, but only after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower will deposit with Beneficiary, each month in advance, a monetary sum estimated by Beneficiary to equal, on a monthly basis, all or such portion of the Impositions as Beneficiary may reasonably require. If such monthly deposits are being made, then, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which any tax or insurance premium must be paid to prevent delinquency thereof, Borrower will, on request of Beneficiary, deliver to Beneficiary, a statement or statements showing the amount of the tax or premium required to be paid, and the concern or authority to which same is payable, and will, at the same time, deposit with Beneficiary such amount as will, when added to the amount of such impounds and reserves previously deposited with Beneficiary and then remaining available for that purpose, be sufficient to pay such insurance or tax obligations. If such monthly deposits are being made, then Beneficiary shall apply all or any of the foregoing deposits in the payment of such insurance, tax, or other Impositions. Beneficiary shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest or earning on any of the foregoing deposits. As additional security hereunder, Borrower hereby assigns to Beneficiary all impounds or reserve accounts for Impositions and any unexpired insurance with respect to the Property. Upon an Event of Default hereunder, Beneficiary may at any time, without notice, apply the same as provided in Section 3.07 below.

(k)     If the validity or priority of this Deed of Trust or of any rights, titles, liens or interests created or evidenced hereby with respect to the Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or questioned or shall be attacked directly or indirectly or if any legal proceedings are instituted against Grantor with respect thereto, Grantor will promptly give written notice thereof to Beneficiary and at Grantor’s own cost and expense will use commercially reasonable efforts to endeavor to cure any defect that may be developed or claimed, and will take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of such legal proceedings including, but not limited to, the employment of counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation and the release or discharge of all adverse claims, and the Trustee and Beneficiary, or either of them (whether or not named as parties to legal proceedings with respect thereto) are hereby authorized and empowered to take such additional steps as in their reasonable judgment and discretion may be necessary or proper for the prosecution or defense of any such legal proceedings including, but not limited to, the employment of independent counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation and the compromise or discharge of any adverse claims made with respect to the Property, and all reasonable and necessary expenses so incurred of any kind and character shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure until paid at the highest rate of interest which may legally be contracted for under the laws of the State of Texas, and shall be secured by the lien and security interest evidenced by this Deed of Trust, and the party incurring such expenses shall be subrogated to all rights of the person receiving such payment.

 

(l)      Grantor will defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from, any action, proceeding or claim affecting the Property or the Security Documents or the lien or security interest created thereby except to the extent otherwise provided herein. Further, Grantor will notify Beneficiary, in writing, promptly, of the commencement of any legal proceedings affecting the Property, or any part thereof, and will take all commercially reasonable action to preserve Beneficiary’s rights affected thereby; and Beneficiary may, at its election, take such action in behalf and in the name of Grantor, and at Grantor’s expense, and all reasonable and necessary expenses so incurred of any kind and character shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure until paid at the highest rate of interest which may legally be contracted for under the laws of the State of Texas, and shall be secured by the lien and security interest evidenced by this Deed of Trust, and the party incurring such expenses shall be subrogated to all rights of the person receiving such payment.

(n)    Grantor will not use or occupy, or permit any use or occupancy of the Property in any manner which violates any Legal Requirement; may be dangerous; constitutes a public or private nuisance; or makes void or voidable any insurance on the Property.

 

DEED OF TRUST AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – PAGE 7

 

 
 

  

(o)    Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary: (i) create, place or permit to be created or placed, or allow to remain, any mortgage, pledge, lien (statutory, constitutional or contractual), security interest, encumbrance or charge, or conditional sale or other title retention agreement, regardless of whether same are expressly subordinate to the liens and security interests of the Security Documents, with respect to the Property; (ii) request change in any zoning ordinance affecting the Property except for zoning changes to single-family residential; (iii) enter into any covenant, contract or other agreement, except in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business, which would materially and adversely affect the use of the Property; or (iv) sell, lease (except in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business) exchange, assign, convey, transfer possession of, or otherwise dispose of, all or any portion of the Property, or any interest therein, but if ownership of the Property or any part thereof or interest therein becomes vested in any person or entity other than Grantor, Beneficiary or any other holder of the Indebtedness may, without notice to Grantor, deal with such successor or successors-in-interest with reference to this Deed of Trust and the Indebtedness in the same manner as with Grantor without in any way discharging Borrower from the Indebtedness or the Obligations. Without limiting the right of Beneficiary to reasonably withhold its consent or to make other requirements prior to granting its consent, Beneficiary may require: (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary that transferee is credit worthy; and (ii) transferee to execute such written modification and assumption agreements with regard to the Security Documents as Beneficiary shall deem reasonably necessary or desirable, including, but not limited to, provisions increasing the interest rate on the Note. No transfer of the Property, no forbearance by the Beneficiary and no extension of the time for the payment of the Indebtedness or the performance of the Obligations granted by Beneficiary shall release, discharge or affect in any way Borrower’s liability hereunder.

 

(p)    Neither Borrower nor Grantor will permit: (i) any waste or deterioration of any part of the Property; (ii) any material alterations or additions to the Property, unless in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business; or (iii) any of the Fixtures to be removed at any time from the Land or Improvements, except in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business, unless the removed item is removed temporarily for maintenance and repair or, if removed permanently, is replaced by an article of at least equal suitability and value, and owned by Grantor free and clear of any other lien or security interest.

 

(q)     Grantor and Borrower will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be necessary or desirable in Beneficiary’s or Trustee’s reasonable opinion, to carry out more effectively the purposes and intent of this Deed of Trust and the Security Documents, and to perfect the rights, titles, liens and security interest herein created or intended to be created and protect the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Beneficiary hereunder. Further, Grantor and Borrower will, upon request of Beneficiary, promptly correct any defect, error or omission, which may be discovered in the contents of this Deed of Trust, the Note, or the Security Documents, and will execute and deliver any and all additional instruments as may be reasonably requested by Beneficiary or Trustee to correct such defect, error or omission, or to identify any additional properties which are or become subject to this Deed of Trust.

(c)     Hold, lease, manage, operate or otherwise use or permit the use of the Property, either itself or by other persons, firms or entities, in such manner, for such time and upon such other terms as Beneficiary may reasonably deem prudent under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements thereto and taking such other action from time to time as Beneficiary shall reasonably deem necessary or desirable), and apply all rents collected in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.07 below.

 

(d)    Sell or offer for sale the Property in such portions, order and parcels as Beneficiary may determine, with or without having first taken possession of same, to the highest bidder for cash at public auction.

At any such sale: (i) Trustee shall not be required to have physically present, or to have constructive possession of, the Property (Grantor hereby covenanting and agreeing to deliver to Trustee any portion of the Property not actually or constructively possessed by Trustee immediately upon demand by 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 Trustee shall contain a special warranty of title, binding upon Grantor; (iii) each and every recital contained in any instrument of conveyance made by Trustee shall presumptively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters recited therein, including, without limitation, nonpayment of the Indebtedness, advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner provided herein and otherwise by law and by appointment of any successor Trustee hereunder; (iv) any and all prerequisites to the validity of such sale shall be conclusively presumed to have been performed; (v) the receipt of Trustee or of such other party making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser for his purchase money and no such purchaser, or his 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) Grantor 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 Grantor, and against any and all other person claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof by, through or under Grantor; and (vii) Beneficiary may be a purchaser at any such sale. Should the Property be sold in one or more parcels as permitted by this subsection, the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more such sales, but other and successive sales may be made until all of the Property has been sold or until the Indebtedness has been fully satisfied.

3.06        Adjournment of Sale. In case Beneficiary shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Security Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon same for any reason, Beneficiary shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such event, Grantor, Borrower, and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness, the Obligations, the Security Documents, the Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Beneficiary shall continue as if same had never been invoked.

4.01        Grant of Security Interest. This Deed of Trust shall also constitute and serve as a security agreement on personal property within the meaning of, and shall constitute a first and prior security interest under, Chapter 9 of the Code, with respect to the Fixtures, and all existing and future rents, leases and rentals thereunder, issues, profits, income, condemnation awards (inclusive of all amounts paid in connection with any public taking), insurance proceeds and all proceeds of the foregoing, plans and specifications for the Improvements, all of Grantor’s rights under any licenses, permits, certificates, documents, and general intangibles (including trade names and symbols used in connection with the Land or the Improvements), waste water, fresh water and other utility capacity and facilities available to or allocated to the Land or the Improvements (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Personal Property”) arising out of or in connection with the Property, all existing and future equipment, machinery, furniture and furnishings, fixtures and trade fixtures used in connection with the Property. To this end, and without limiting any of the provisions of this Deed of Trust, Grantor, as Debtor (and referred to sometimes herein as “Debtor”) has Granted, Bargained, Conveyed, Assigned, Transferred and Set Over and by these presents does Grant, Bargain, Convey, Assign, Transfer and Set Over unto Beneficiary, as Secured Party (and referred to sometimes herein as “Secured Party”), a first and prior security interest in all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Fixtures and the Personal Property to secure the full and timely payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations.

 

DEED OF TRUST AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – PAGE 14

 

 
 

  

4.02        Additional Documents. Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, such financing statements and such further assurances as Beneficiary may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve the security interest herein granted, and Beneficiary may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to create, perfect and preserve such security interest.

 

4.03        Rights of Trustee. Beneficiary as well as Trustee on Beneficiary’s behalf, shall have all the rights, remedies and recourses with respect to the Fixtures afforded a “Secured Party” by Chapter 9 of the Code, in addition to, and not in limitation of, the other rights, remedies and recourses afforded Beneficiary and/or Trustee by the Security Documents.

 

4.04        Exculpation of Beneficiary and Trustee. The security interest herein granted shall not be deemed or construed to constitute Trustee or Beneficiary as a party in possession of the Property or to obligate Trustee or Beneficiary to lease the Property, or to take any action, incur any expenses or perform any obligation whatsoever under any lease or otherwise.

 

4.05        Additional Remedies in Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as provided in Section 3.01 of this Deed of Trust, and at any time thereafter:

If the proceeds are not sufficient to pay the Indebtedness in full, Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

 

(c)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Beneficiary, or the Trustee acting on Beneficiary’s behalf, may at its option dispose of the Fixtures and other items of personal property covered by this Deed of Trust in accordance with Beneficiary’s rights and remedies in respect of the Land pursuant to the provisions of this Deed of Trust, in lieu of proceeding under the Code.

THE TRUSTEE

 

6.01       Exculpation of Trustee. Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable to Grantor under any circumstances whatsoever, nor shall Trustee be personally liable in case of entry by him, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted, upon the Property for debts contracted or liability or damages incurred in the management or operations of the Property, Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by him hereunder, believed by him in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties hereunder. Grantor will, from time to time, reimburse Trustee for, and save him harmless against, any and all liability and actual, out-of-pocket expenses which may be incurred by him in the performance of his duties.

 

6.02        Holding of Funds. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by him hereunder.

 

6.03       Substitute Trustee. Trustee may resign at any time with or without notice. If Trustee shall die, resign or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this trust or shall fail or refuse to execute the same when requested by Beneficiary so to do, or if, for any reason, Beneficiary shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee to act instead of the aforenamed Trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint a substitute trustee and, if preferred, several substitute trustees in succession without any formality whatsoever other than an appointment and designation in writing signed by Beneficiary or its agent or officer (whose authority shall be presumed) which substitute trustee or trustees shall succeed to all the estates, rights, powers and duties of the aforenamed Trustee.

 

6.04        Rights of Substitute Trustee. Any new Trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trust of its or his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Beneficiary or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and money held by such Trustee to the successor Trustee so appointed in his place.

7.01       Survival of Obligations. Each and all of the Obligations shall survive the execution and delivery of the Security Documents, and the consummation of the loan called for therein, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full.

 

7.02       Additional Documents. Grantor or Borrower, upon the request of Trustee or Beneficiary, shall execute, acknowledge, deliver and/or file such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of the Security Documents and to subject to the liens and security interests thereof any property intended by the terms thereof to be covered thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, or appurtenances to the then Property. Borrower will pay all such recording, filing, re-recording, and refiling taxes, and reasonable fees and other charges, including those for security interest searches.

 

7.03        Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given or delivered pursuant to this Deed of Trust (except for notice of a foreclosure sale which shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 3.02 hereof) shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given and/or delivered upon deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, or upon actually delivering same in person or by duly appointed agent to the intended addressee or upon sending a prepaid telegram. For purposes of notice, the addresses of the parties shall be as set forth in the opening recital or in the Definitions hereinabove; provided, however, that either party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by giving thirty (30) days prior notice to the other party in the manner set forth hereinabove.

 

7.04       Non-Waiver. Any failure by Trustee or Beneficiary to insist, or any election by Trustee or Beneficiary not to insist, upon strict performance by Grantor of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Security Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same or of any other term, provision or condition thereof, and Trustee or Beneficiary shall have the right at any time or times thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Grantor of any and all of such terms, provisions and conditions.

 

7.05        Additional Advances or Expenditures by Beneficiary. If Grantor or Borrower shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Security Documents, then at any time thereafter, and without notice to or demand upon Grantor and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Beneficiary may have because of same, Beneficiary may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Borrower, and shall have the right to enter the Property for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the Property as it may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.

All sums paid by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 7.05 and all other sums expended by Beneficiary to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, together with interest thereon at the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law from the date of such payment or expenditure, shall constitute additions to the Indebtedness; shall be secured by the Security Documents; and shall be paid by Borrower to Beneficiary upon demand.

 

DEED OF TRUST AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – PAGE 18

 

 
 

 

7.06       Heirs, Successors and Assigns. All Obligations contained in the Security Documents are intended by the Parties to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Property. Further, all of the terms of the Security Documents shall apply to, be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties thereto, their respective successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives, and all other persons claiming by, through or under them.

 

7.07      Partial Invalidity. The Security Documents are intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable Legal Requirements. If any provision of any of the Security Documents or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remainder of the instrument in which such provision is contained nor the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances nor the other instruments referred to hereinabove shall be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

 

7.08        Lawful Interest. All agreements between and among Grantor, Borrower, and Beneficiary are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds of the Note, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid principal balance thereof, or otherwise, shall the amount contracted for, charged, collected, paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of the Security Documents, or any other agreement referred to herein, at the time performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve transcending the maximum limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the maximum limit of such validity, and if from any circumstance, Beneficiary shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall: (a) be applied to the reduction of unpaid principal of Indebtedness secured by the Security Documents; or (b) be refunded to the payor of such amount and not applied to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements including but not limited to the Security Documents between or among, Grantor, Borrower, and Beneficiary.

 

DEED OF TRUST AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – PAGE 19

 

 
 

 

7.09       Subsequent Laws. In the event of the passage after the date of this Deed of Trust of any applicable law changing in any way the laws for the taxation of deeds of trust and/or the debts secured thereby so as to affect this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall have the right, at Beneficiary’s option, and if Grantor fails to pay the tax owed within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice and demand for payment from Beneficiary, to declare the Indebtedness immediately due and payable.

 

7.10       Entire Agreement; Amendment. The Security Documents contain the entire agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and all prior agreements relative thereto which are not contained herein or therein are terminated. The Security Documents may be amended, revised, waived, discharged, released or terminated only by a written instrument or instruments, executed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination that is not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.

 

7.11       Counterparts. This Deed of Trust may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one instrument.

 

7.12       Subrogation. If any or all of the proceeds of the Note have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness heretofore existing against the Property, then, to the extent of such funds so used, the Indebtedness and this Deed of Trust shall be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, liens, titles and interests heretofore existing against the Property to secure the indebtedness so extinguished, extended or renewed and the former rights, claims, liens, titles and interests, if any, are not waived but rather are continued in full force and effect in favor of Beneficiary and are merged with the lien and security interest created herein as cumulative security for the repayment of the Indebtedness and the satisfaction of the Obligations, regardless of whether said indebtedness, rights, claims, liens, title and interests are acquired by Beneficiary by assignment or are released by the holder thereof upon payment.

 

7.13       Governing Law. The Security Documents shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Texas and the applicable laws of the United States of America.

 

7.14        Headings. The article and section entitlements hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of such articles and sections.

 

7.15        Joint and Several Liability. If Grantor consists of more than one party, the Obligations set forth herein and in the Security Documents shall be the joint and several obligations of each of such parties.

 

DEED OF TRUST AND SECURITY AGREEMENT – PAGE 20

 

 
 

  

7.16       Other Security. The security herein and hereby provided shall not affect, or be affected by, any other or further security heretofore or hereafter taken to secure the Indebtedness. Beneficiary may release, without notice, any part of the Property, or other security heretofore or hereafter taken to secure the Indebtedness, or any person liable for all or part of the Indebtedness, and without in any way affecting the lien hereof as to the part, or parts, of the Property so retained, and no creditor of Grantor, nor any other person, firm, or corporation, shall have any objection thereto, or right to hold Beneficiary to account therefor, nor shall the lien of this Deed of Trust be adversely affected in any manner by any such release.

 

7.17       Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with respect to all Fixtures and is to be filed for record in the real property records in the Office of the County Clerk for the county or counties in which the Land is situated.

 

7.18        Partial Release. Beneficiary will agree to partial releases of the lien granted herein by Grantor against portions of the Property in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, subject to and conditioned upon satisfaction of each of the requirements contained in the Loan Agreement.

 

7.19         Controlling Document. To the extent anything contained herein is inconsistent with or contrary to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall control.

In my thirteen years of practice, I've had the opportunity to argue cases in state, federal, and tribal courts; in subjects as diverse as gaming, land tenure, water rights, treaty rights, finance, employment, criminal defense, conflict of laws, and tort (among others). But the real value I brought my clients came through avoiding litigation, fostering relationships, and developing long-term strategies.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
