The sum to be reimbursed shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. 3. If Developer fails to perform any of Developer's Obligations, the Town shall give Developer written notice specifying the default and the action necessary to cure the default, and if the default remains uncured after thirty days following said written notice (or if a default is not reasonably susceptible to being cured within thirty days, then Developer shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the default so long as Developer commences the cure within such thirty days and then diligently pursues curing the default), then the Town may: (a) request Trustee to foreclose this lien, in which case the Town or the Town's agent shall give notice of the foreclosure sale as provided by the Texas Property Code as then amended; and (b) purchase the property at any foreclosure sale by offering the highest bid and then have the bid credited against the Obligations.

Recitals in any Trustee's deed conveying the property will be presumed to be true. 3. Proceedings under this Deed of Trust, filing suit for foreclosure, or pursuing any other remedy will not constitute an election of remedies. 4. This lien shall remain superior to Liens later created. 5. If any portion of the Obligations cannot be lawfully secured by this Deed of Trust, payments shall be applied first to discharge that portion. 6. The Town shall have no claim to sums payable to or received by Developer 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. If the value of the property, following the condemnation, is reasonably adequate to secure the Obligations, then the lien of this Deed of Trust shall continue as the security for the Obligations. If the value of the property, following the condemnation, is not reasonably adequate to secure the Obligations, then Developer shall provide the Town with substitute security, which pursuant to Article VII, Section 7 of Ordinance PD -2, may consist of a performance bond, cash escrow, letter of credit, pledge of governmental securities, or other collateral reasonably acceptable to the Board of Alderman of the Town. 7.
