THIS CONVEYANCE, HOWEVER, IS IN TRUST (subject to the covenants,
stipulations and conditions below), to secure prompt payment of all existing and future
indebtedness due by Debtor to Secured Party under the provisions of this Deed of Trust. If
Debtor shall pay said indebtedness promptly when due and shall perform all covenants made by
Debtor, then this conveyance shall be void and of no effect. If Debtor shall be in default as
provided in Paragraph 9, then, in that event, the entire indebtedness, together with all interest
accrued thereon, shall, at the option of Secured Party, be and become at once due and payable
without notice to Debtor, and Trustee shall, at the request of Secured Party, sell the Property
conveyed, or a sufficiency thereof, to satisfy the indebtedness at public outcry to the highest
bidder for cash. Sale of the property shall be advertised for three consecutive weeks preceding
the sale in a newspaper published in the county where the Property is situated, or if none is so
published, then in some newspaper having a general circulation therein, and by posting a notice
for the same time at the courthouse of the same county. The notice and advertisement shall
disclose the names of the original debtors in this Deed of Trust. Debtors waive the provisions of
Section 89-1-55 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 as amended, if any, as far as this section
restricts the right of Trustee to offer at sale more than 160 acres at a time, and Trustee may offer
the property herein conveyed as a whole, regardless of how it is described.
If the Property is situated in two or more counties, or in two judicial districts of the same
county, Trustee shall have full power to select in which county, or judicial district, the sale of the
property is to be made, newspaper advertisement published and notice of sale posted, and
Trustee's selection shall be binding upon Debtor and Secured Party. Should Secured Party be a
corporation or an unincorporated association, then any officer thereof may declare Debtor to be
in default as provided in Paragraph 9 and request Trustee to sell the Property. Secured Party
shall have the same right to purchase the property at the foreclosure sale as would a purchaser
who is not a Party to this Deed of Trust.
From the proceeds of the sale Trustee shall first pay all costs of the sale including
compensation to Trustee of ten percent of the sale proceeds; then the indebtedness due Secured

Party by Debtor, including accrued interest and attorney's fees due for collection of the debt; and
then, lastly, any balance remaining to Debtor.
IT IS AGREED that this conveyance is made subject to the covenants, stipulations and
conditions set forth below which shall be binding upon all parties hereto.
1. This Deed of Trust shall also secure all future and additional advances which Secured
Party may make to Debtor from time to time upon the security herein conveyed. Such advances
shall be optional with Secured Party and shall be on such terms as to amount, maturity and rate
of interest as may be mutually agreeable to both Debtor and Secured Party. Any such advance
may be made to any one of the Debtors should there be more than one, and if so made, shall be
secured by this Deed of Trust to the same extent as if made to all Debtors. However, on all
transactions covered by Truth in Lending, when Debtor's notes, debts, obligations and liabilities
to Secured Party (in any form) arising out of existing, concurrent and future credit granted by
Secured Party are secured by this Deed of Trust, it will be so indicated on the document that
evidences the transaction. Therefore this Deed of Trust will in no way secure any form of credit
governed by the Truth in Lending Act unless the document which evidences the Credit
Transaction indicates by proper disclosure that the Transaction is secured by this Deed of Trust.
2. This Deed of Trust shall also secure any and all other indebtedness of Debtor due to
Secured Party with interest thereon as specified, or of any one of the Debtors should there be
more than one, whether direct or contingent, primary or secondary, sole, joint or several, now
existing or hereafter arising at any time before cancellation of this Deed of Trust. Such
indebtedness may be evidenced by note, open account, overdraft, endorsement, guaranty or
otherwise. However, on all transactions covered by Truth in Lending, when Debtor's notes,
debts, obligations and lia bilities to Secured Party (in any form) arising out of existing,
concurrent and future credit granted by Secured Party are secured by this Deed of Trust, it will
be so indicated on the document that evidences the transaction. Therefore this Deed of Trust
will in no way secure any form of credit governed by the Truth in Lending Act unless the
document which evidences the Credit Transaction indicates by proper disclosure that the
Transaction is secured by this Deed of Trust.

3. Debtor shall keep all improvements on the land herein conveyed insured against fire,
all hazards included within the term "extended coverage", flood in areas designated by the U. S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development as being subject to overflow and such other
hazards as Secured Party may reasonable require in such amounts as Debtor may determine but
for not less than the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust. All policies shall be written by
reliable insurance companies acceptable to Secured Party, shall include standard loss payable
clauses in favor of Secured Party and shall be delivered to Secured Party, Debtor shall promptly
pay when due all premiums charged for such insurance, and shall furnish Secured Party the
premium receipts for inspection. Upon Debtor's failure to pay the premiums, Secured Party shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such premiums. In the event of a loss covered by
the insurance in force, Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party who may make proof of loss
if timely proof is not made by Debtor. All loss payments shall be made directly to Secured Party
as loss payee who may either apply the proceeds to the repair or restoration of the damaged
improvements or to the indebtedness of Debtor, or release such proceeds in whole or in part to
Debtor.
4. Debtor shall pay all taxes and assessments, general or special, levied against the
Property or upon the Interest of Trustee or Secured Party therein, during the term of this Deed of
Trust before such taxes or assessments become delinquent, and shall furnish Secured Party the
tax receipts for inspection. Should Debtor fail to pay all taxes and assessments when due,
Secured Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make these payments.
5. Debtor shall keep the Property in good repair and shall not permit or commit waste,
impairment or deterioration thereof. Debtor shall use the Property for lawful purposes only.
Secured Party may make or arrange to be made entries upon and inspections of the Property
after first giving Debtor notice prior to any inspection specifying a just cause related to Secured
Party's interest in the Property. Secured Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
cause needed repairs to be made to the Property after first affording Debtor a reasonable
opportunity to make the repairs.

security be for construction of improvements on the land herein conveyed, Secured Party shall
Land Deed of Trust
Page 5 of 8
have the right to make or arrange to be made entries upon the Property and inspections of the
construction in progress. Should Secured Party determine that Debtor is failing to perform such
construction in a timely and satisfactory manner, Secured Party shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to take charge of and proceed with the construction at the expense of Debtor after
first affording Debtor a reasonable opportunity to continue the construction in a manner
agreeable to Secured Party.
6. Any sums advanced by Secured Party for Insurance, taxes, repairs or construction as
provided in Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 shall be secured by this Deed of Trust as advances made to
protect the Property and shall be payable by Debtor to Secured Party, with interest at the rate
specified in the note representing the primary indebtedness, within thirty days following written
demand for payment sent by Secured Party to Debtor by certified mail. Receipts for insurance
premiums, taxes and repair or construction costs for which Secured Party has made payment
shall serve as conclusive evidence thereof.
7. As additional security Debtor hereby assigns to Secured Party all rents accruing on the
Property. Debtor shall have the right to collect and retain the rents as long as Debtor is not in
default as provided in Paragraph 9. In the event of default, Secured Party in person, by an agent
or by a judicially appointed receiver shall be entitled to enter upon, take possession of and
manage the Property and collect the rents. All rents so collected shall be applied first to the
costs of managing the Property and collecting the rents, including fees for a receiver and an
attorney, commissions to rental agents, repairs and other necessary related expenses and then to
payments on the indebtedness.
8. This Deed of Trust (indenture) may not be assumed by any buyer from Debtor. Any
attempted transfer of any interest in this property (including, but not limited to possession) will
constitute a default and Secured Party may accelerate the entire balance of the indebtedness.
If Secured Party elects to exercise the option to accelerate, Secured Party shall send
Debtor notice of acceleration by certified mail. Such notice shall provide a period of thirty days
from the date of mailing within which Debtor may pay the indebtedness in full. If Debtor fails
to pay such indebtedness prior to the expiration of thirty days. Secured Party may, without
further notice to Debtor, invoke any remedies set forth in this Deed of Trust.

fail to comply with any of Debtor's covenants or obligations contained herein, (b) shall fail to
pay any of the indebtedness secured hereby, or any installment thereof or interest thereon, as
such indebtedness, installment or interest shall be due by contractual agreement or by
acceleration, (c) shall become bankrupt or insolvent or be placed in receivership, (d) shall, if a
corporation, a partnership or an unincorporated association be dissolved voluntarily or
involuntarily, or (e) if Secured Party in good faith deems itself insecure and its prospect of

successor Trustee, or to Debtor, and without regard to the willingness or inability of any such
Trustee to execute this trust, appoint another person or succession of persons to act as Trustee,
and such appointee in the execution of this trust shall have all the powers vested in and
obligations imposed upon Trustee. Should Secured Party be a corporation or an unincorporated
association, then any officer thereof may make such appointment.

distinct from every other privilege, option or remedy contained herein or afforded by law or
equity, and may be exercised independently, concurrently, cumulatively or successively by
Secured Party or any other owner or holder of the indebtedness. Forbearance by Secured Party
in exercising any privilege, option or remedy after the right to do so has accrued shall not
constitute a waiver of Secured Party's right to exercise such privilege, option or remedy in event
of any subsequent accrual.

more individuals, a corporation, a partnership or an unincorporated association, depending on
