This Security Instrument, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority Lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Liens and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Liens.

ARTICLE 8. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Section 8.1.     REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Grantor agrees that Grantee may or acting by or through Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Grantor, and in and to the Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued alternatively, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Grantee may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Grantee:

(a)       Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent the Loan Agreement provides for automatic acceleration of the Loan upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default, such provisions with respect to automatic acceleration shall govern and control, without any further notice, demand or other action by Lender, Grantee, Trustee or any other Person.

(b)       With respect to foreclosure, judicial or otherwise, with respect to any of the Property:

(i)        Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this Security Instrument under any applicable provision of Laws, in which case the Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner.

(ii)       Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable Laws, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument, conducting the sale as herein provided, and without declaring the whole Obligations due, and provided that if sale is made because of default as hereinabove mentioned, such sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the Notes and/or the

 

Obligations secured hereby, and it is agreed that such sale, if so made, shall not in any manner affect any other Obligations secured hereby, but as to such other Obligations this Security Instrument and the Liens created hereby shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had been made under the provisions of this Section 8.1(b)(ii).It is further agreed that several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any remaining Obligations secured hereby, it being the purpose to provide for a foreclosure and sale of the Property for any matured portion of any of the Obligations secured hereby or other items provided for herein without exhausting the power to foreclose and to sell the Property for any remaining Obligations secured hereby, whether matured at the time or subsequently maturing.

(iii)      Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, sell the Property in whole or in part and in such parcels and order as Trustee may determine, and the right of sale hereunder shall not be exhausted by one or more sales, but successive sales may be had until all of the Property has been legally sold.

(iv)      Grantee and/or one or more Lenders may become the purchaser at any such sale if it is the highest bidder, and shall have the right, after paying or accounting for all costs of said sale or sales, to credit the amount of the bid upon the amount of the Obligations owing, in lieu of cash payment.

(v)       It shall not be necessary for the Trustee, or its successor or substitute, to have constructively in its possession any part of the real or personal property covered by this Security Instrument, and the title and right of possession of said property shall pass to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale hereunder as fully as if the same had been actually present and delivered. Likewise, on foreclosure of this Security Instrument whether by power of sale herein contained or otherwise, Grantor or any person claiming any part of the Property by, through or under Grantor, shall not be entitled to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

(vi)      The recitals and statements of fact contained in any notice or in any conveyance to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale hereunder shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of such facts, and all prerequisites and requirements necessary to the validity of any such sale shall be presumed to have been performed.

(vii)     To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, any sale under the powers granted by this Security Instrument shall be a perpetual bar against Grantor, its heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives.

(viii)    Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, sell for cash or upon credit the Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Grantor therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by applicable Laws.

(ix)      In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less than all of Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a Lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority.

 

(c)       In the event any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Grantee or the holder of any part of the Obligations, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, such sale shall not exhaust the power of sale hereunder, and Grantee or such holder shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made by the Trustee or any successor or substitute Trustee.

(d)       In the event of a foreclosure under the powers granted by this Security Instrument, Grantor and all other Persons in possession of any part of the Property shall be deemed tenants at will of the purchaser at such foreclosure sale and shall be liable for a reasonable rental for the use of the Property; and if any such tenants refuse to surrender possession of the Property upon demand, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain the statutory action of forcible entry and detainer and procure a writ of possession thereunder, and Grantor expressly waives all damages sustained by reason thereof.

(e)       Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein or in the Notes, the Loan Agreement or in the other Loan Documents.

(f)        Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, recover judgment on the Notes either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

(g)       Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, apply for and shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard for the solvency of any Grantor or Guarantor or any other guarantor or indemnitor under the Loan or any other Person liable for the payment of the Obligations.

(h)       The license granted to Grantor under Section 1.2 hereof shall automatically be revoked and, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, Grantee may enter into or upon the Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Grantor and its agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Grantor and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and Grantor agrees to surrender possession of the Property and of such books, records and accounts to Grantee upon demand, and thereupon Grantee may (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Grantee deems advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Grantor with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Grantor or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect and receive all Rents of the Property and every part thereof; (v) require Grantor to pay monthly in advance to Grantee, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be occupied by Grantor; (vi) require Grantor to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Grantee or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Grantor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of the Obligations, in such order, priority and proportions as Grantee shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other expenses in connection with the Property, as

 

well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Grantee and Lenders, and their respective counsel, agents and employees. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.1(h) hereof, no credit shall be given by Grantee for any sum or sums received from the rents, issues and profits of the Property until the money collected is actually received by Grantee at its principal office, or at such other place as Grantee shall designate in writing, and no such credit shall be given for any uncollected rents or other uncollected amounts or bills, nor shall such credit be given for any rents, issues and profits derived from the Property after foreclosure or other transfer of the Property (or part thereof from which rents, issues and/or profits are derived pursuant to the Security Instrument or by agreement) to Grantee or any other third party. Receipt of rents, issues and/or profits by Grantee shall not be deemed to constitute a pro-tanto payment of the indebtedness evidenced by, or arising under, this Security Instrument, the Notes, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, but shall be applied as provided in Section 8.2.

(i)        To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Personal Property) or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Grantee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Personal Property); and (ii) request Grantor at its expense to assemble the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Personal Property) and make it available to Grantee at a convenient place acceptable to Grantee. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Grantee or Trustee with respect to the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Personal Property) sent to Grantor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five (5) days prior to such action shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Grantor.

(j)        Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or otherwise by or on behalf of Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document to the payment of the following items in any order in its sole discretion: (i) Taxes and Other Charges; (ii) insurance premiums; (iii) interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Notes; (iv) amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Notes; (v) all other sums payable pursuant to the Notes, the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation advances made by Grantee or any Lender pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument.

(k)       Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, surrender the insurance policies maintained pursuant to the Loan Agreement, collect the unearned insurance premiums for such insurance policies and apply such sums as a credit on the Obligations in such priority and proportion as Grantee in its discretion shall deem proper, and in connection therewith, Grantor hereby appoints Grantee as agent and attorney-in-fact (which is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) for Grantor to collect such insurance premiums.

(l)        Grantee may apply the undisbursed balance of anydeposit made by Grantor with Grantee in connection with the restoration of the Property after a casualty thereto or condemnation thereof, together with interest thereon, to the payment of the Obligations in such order, priority and proportions as Grantee shall deem to be appropriate in its discretion.

(m)      Grantee may, or may direct Trustee to pursue such other remedies as Grantee or Trustee may have under applicable Laws.

 

Section 8.2.     APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The purchase money, proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Property, and or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Grantee on behalf of Lenders pursuant to the Notes, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, be applied by Grantee to the payment of the Obligations in such priority and proportions as Grantee in its discretion shall deem proper.

Section 8.3.     RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Grantee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Grantor and without releasing Grantor from any obligation hereunder, make any payment or do any act required of Grantor hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lenders may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Grantee is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Obligations, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by Laws), with interest as provided in this Section 8.3, shall constitute a portion of the Obligations and shall be due and payable to Grantee on behalf of Lenders upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Grantee or any Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at any default rate specified in the Loan Agreement, if any (the “Default Rate”), for the period after notice from Grantee or any Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Grantee or such Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Grantee or any Lender or Trustee together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Obligations and be secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Grantee or such Lender therefor.

Section 8.4.     ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Grantee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Grantor, which Grantee, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property.

Section 8.5.     RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Grantee and Lenders shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Obligations as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Obligations shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Grantee and Lenders thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Grantor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.

Section 8.6.     ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. With respect to the Collateral, from the Effective Date until the Obligations are paid and performed in full or this Security Instrument is otherwise released by written instrument executed by Grantee and authorized to be recorded in the applicable public records of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located, Grantee and Trustee (and its successors and substitutes) are hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of the Grantor (coupled with an interest), in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Collateral, and for that purpose Grantee and Trustee (and its successors and substitutes) may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery, and may substitute one or more Persons with such power, Grantor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor, if so requested by Grantee, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Grantee or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the judgment of Grantee, for such purpose, and as may be designated in such request. To the extent permitted by Laws, any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Section 8.6 shall operate to divest all the estate,

 

right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law, or in equity, of Grantor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under Grantor. Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 8.6,Trustee, or its successor or substitute, or Grantee may, to the extent permitted by Laws, bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Obligations secured hereby the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the cost of the auction and any other sums which Grantee is authorized to deduct by Laws or under this Security Instrument. At any sale pursuant to this Section 8.6,whether made under power herein granted, under or as otherwise authorized by applicable Laws or pursuant to Legal Requirements, or by virtue of any judicial proceeding or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, it shall not be necessary for Grantee or Trustee, or its successor or substitute, to be physically present, or to have constructive possession of, the Property, 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 presented and delivered to the purchaser at such sale.

(a)       The failure of Trustee, Lenders or Grantee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document. Grantor shall not be relieved of Grantor’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Trustee, Lenders or Grantee to comply with any request of Grantor or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of less than the whole of the Property, or of any Person liable for the Obligations or any portion thereof unless, in connection with such release, Grantee releases of record this Security Instrument in its entirety, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Grantee or Lenders extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Notes, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

(b)       It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Grantor, and none of Trustee, Grantee nor Lenders shall have any liability whatsoever for decline in the value of the Property, for failure to maintain the insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to the Loan Agreement, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Grantee or Trustee shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief if any such possession is requested or obtained with respect to any Property or collateral not in Grantee’s possession.

(c)       Grantee or Lenders may resort for the payment of the Obligations to any other security held by Grantee or Lenders in such order and manner as Grantee or Lenders, in their discretion, may elect. Grantee or Lenders may take action to recover the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Grantee or Lenders thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Grantee, Lenders and Trustee under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lenders, Grantee or Trustee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. None of Lenders, Grantee or Trustee shall be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

 

(d)       In the event of a foreclosure sale, whether made by the Trustee under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court, the Collateral may, at the option of Grantee, be sold as a whole with the Land and Improvements.

Section 8.8.     RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. Grantee may release or direct Trustee to release anyportion of the Property for such consideration as Grantee may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the Lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Grantee or any Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Grantee may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a Lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.

Section 8.9.     RIGHT OF ENTRY. Upon reasonable notice to Grantor, Grantee and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times.

(a)       Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantee shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Lenders or in the name of Grantor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Grantor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)       If there shall be filed by or against Grantor a petition under Bankruptcy Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, and Grantor, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Grantor shall give Grantee not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice of the date on which Grantor shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Lease. Grantee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Grantor within such ten-day period a notice stating that (i) Grantee demands that Grantor assume and assign the Lease to Grantee pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Grantee covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. If Grantee serves upon Grantor the notice described in the preceding sentence, Grantor shall not seek to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Grantee of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

Section 8.11.   SUBROGATION. If any or all of the proceeds of the Notes have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness heretofore existing against all or any portion of the Property, then, to the extent of the funds so used, Grantee and Lenders shall be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, Liens, titles, and interests existing against the Property heretofore held by, or in favor of, the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, claims, Liens, titles, and interests, if any, are not waived but rather are continued in full force and effect in favor of Grantee and Lenders and are merged with the Lien and security interest created herein as cumulative security for the payment and performance of the Obligations.

In furtherance thereof, Grantee, Lenders and Grantor stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in any other written or oral agreement by Grantor or any Loan Party in favor of Grantee and Lenders, shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, or interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by applicable Laws; that neither Grantor nor any guarantors, endorsers or other Persons now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of the Obligations are agreeing to pay at a rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be lawfully charged under applicable Laws; and that the provisions of this subsection shall control over all other provisions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any other oral or written agreements which may be in apparent conflict herewith. Grantee and Lenders expressly disavow any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of the Loan or the remaining Obligations are accelerated. If the maturity of the Loan or the remaining Obligations shall be accelerated for any reason or if the principal of the Loan or the remaining Obligations are paid prior to the end of the term of the Loan or the Obligations, as applicable, and as a result thereof the interest received for the actual period of existence of the Loan or the Obligations, as applicable, exceeds the applicable maximum lawful rate, Grantee and Lenders shall, at Grantee’s option, either refund to Grantor the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal balance of the Obligations then outstanding and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by applicable Laws as a result of such excess interest. In the event that Grantee and Lenders shall contract for, charge or receive any amount or amounts and/or any other thing of value which are determined to constitute interest which would increase the effective interest rate on the Loan or the Obligations to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable Laws, an amount equal to interest in excess of the lawful rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of Grantee, be either immediately returned to Grantor or credited against the Obligations then outstanding, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable Laws as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable.

 

ARTICLE 11. CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION

Section 11.1.   CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION. Grantor acknowledges that the Obligations are secured by this Security Instrument together with those certain other Mortgages (as defined in the Loan Agreement) now or hereafter given by Grantor to Grantee or to certain trustees in trust and for the benefit of Grantee (whether one or more, collectively, the “Other Mortgages”) encumbering the real and personal property more particularly described in the Other Mortgages (such real and personal property, collectively, the “Other Properties”), all as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Grantee shall have the right to institute or direct Trustee to institute a proceeding or proceedings for the total or partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument and any or all of the Other Mortgages whether by court action, power of sale or otherwise, under any applicable provision of Laws, for all of the Obligations and the Lien and the security interest created by the Other Mortgages shall continue in full force and effect without loss of priority as a Lien and security interest securing the payment of that portion of the Obligations then due and payable but still outstanding. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Property and the Other Properties are located in one or more states and/or counties, and therefore Grantee shall be permitted to, or as the case may be, to direct certain named trustees to, enforce payment and performance of the Obligations and the performance of any term, covenant or condition of the Notes, this Security Instrument, the Other Mortgages or the other Loan Documents and exercise any and all rights and remedies under the Notes, this Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents or the Other Mortgages or, as provided by law or at equity, by one or more proceedings, whether contemporaneous, consecutive or both, to be determined by Grantee, in its sole discretion, in any one or more of the states or counties in which the Property or any of the Other Properties are located. Neither the acceptance of this Security Instrument, the Other Mortgages or the other Loan Documents nor the enforcement thereof in any one state or county, whether by court action, foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, shall prejudice or in any way limit or preclude enforcement by court action, foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of the Notes, this Security Instrument, the Other Mortgages or the other Loan Documents through one or more additional proceedings in that state or county or in any other state or county. Any and all sums received by Grantee or any Lender under the Notes, this Security Instrument, and the other Loan Documents shall be applied to the Obligations in such order and priority as Grantee shall determine, in its sole discretion, without regard to any portion of the Loan allocated to any Property or any of the Other Properties or the appraised value of the Property or any of the Other Properties.

ARTICLE 12. GRANTEE AND NOTICES

Section 12.1.   FAILURE TO ACT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the failure of Grantee or Trustee to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall not (a) be deemed to be a waiver of any term or condition of this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, (b) adversely affect any rights of Trustee, Grantee or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (c) relieve Grantor of any of Grantor’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

Trustee, by acceptance of this Security Instrument, covenants to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable, however, only for gross

 

negligence or willful misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services rendered by Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof. Trustee may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days’ notice to Grantor and to Grantee. Grantee may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and select a successor trustee.

Any substitute trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without anyfurther act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or its predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Grantee or of the substitute trustee, Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute trustee so appointed in Trustee’s place.

ARTICLE 18. OPERATING LEASE PROVISIONS.

Section 18.1.   NO MERGER OF FEE AND LEASEHOLD ESTATES, RELEASES. So long as any portion of the Obligations remains unpaid or unsatisfied or until this Security Instrument is reconveyed pursuant to the terms hereof or the Loan Agreement, unless Grantee shall otherwise consent, the fee title to the Land and the leasehold estate created under the Operating Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates by purchase, operation of Laws or otherwise. Grantee reserves the right, at any time, to release or direct Trustee to release portions of the Property, including, but not limited to, the leasehold estate created by the Operating Lease, with or without consideration, at Grantee’s election, without waiving or affecting any of its rights hereunder or under the Notes or the other Loan Documents and any such release shall not affect Grantee’s or Trustee’s rights in connection with the portion of the Property not so released.

Section 18.2.   GRANTOR’S ACQUISITION OF FEE ESTATE. So long as any portion of the Obligations remains unpaid or unsatisfied or until this Security Instrument is reconveyed pursuant to the terms hereof or the Loan Agreement, if any Grantor shall be the owner of fee title to and/or a leasehold estate in all or any portion of the Property, the Lien of this Security Instrument shall be spread to cover such additional title and rights and said title and rights shall be deemed to be included in the Property. Grantor agrees, at its sole cost and expense, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees to (i) execute any and all documents or instruments necessary to confirm that its title and rights to the Property are subject to the Lien of this Security Instrument; and (ii) provide a title insurance policy which shall insure that the Lien of this Security Instrument is a first lien on its title and rights to the Property.

Section 18.3.     OPERATING LEASE COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Loan Agreement respecting Grantor’s covenants, representations and warranties with respect to the Operating Lease, including without limitation, Section 6.39 thereof, are hereby incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.

ARTICLE 19. THIRD PARTY GRANTOR PROVISIONS

Section 19.1.     THIRD PARTY GRANTOR. Each Grantor agrees to the provisions of this Article of the Security Instrument with respect to its interest in the property encumbered by this Security Instrument and the obligations secured hereby to the extent the proceeds of the secured obligations have been paid to or for the benefit of a person (the “Third Party Borrower”) other than such Grantor.

Section 19.2.     AUTHORIZATIONS TO GRANTEE. Grantor authorizes Grantee, without notice or demand and without affecting their liability hereunder, from time to time to (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the secured

 

indebtedness or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; (ii) take and hold other security for the payment of the indebtedness, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; (iii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, including without limitation, a non-judicial sale permitted by the terms of the controlling security agreement or pledge agreement, as Grantee in its discretion may determine; and (iv) release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or guarantors of any indebtedness.

Section 19.3.   GRANTOR'S WARRANTIES. Grantor warrants that: (i) this Security Instrument is executed at the request of Third Party Borrower; and (ii) Grantor has adequate means of obtaining from Third Party Borrower on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to Third Party Borrower’s financial condition without relying on Grantee therefor. Grantor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events or circumstances which Grantor considers material or which might in any way affect Grantor’s risks hereunder. With respect to information or material acquired in the normal course of Grantee’s relationship with Third Party Borrower, Grantor agrees that Grantee shall have no obligation to disclose such information or material to Grantor.

(a)       Grantor waives any right to require Grantee to (A) proceed against any person, including Third Party Borrower; (B) proceed against or exhaust any collateral held from Third Party Borrower, any endorser or guarantor or any other person; (C) give notice of terms, time and place of any public or private sale of personal property or real property security held from Grantors; (D) pursue any other remedy in Grantee’s power; or (E) make any presentments, demands for performance, or give any notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any obligations or evidences of indebtedness held by Grantee as security, in connection with any obligations or evidences of indebtedness which constitute in whole or in part the indebtedness secured hereunder, or in connection with the creation of new or additional indebtedness. Grantor agrees that, in case of default and foreclosure, Grantee may enforce this Security Instrument against any or all interests encumbered by this Security Instrument in a single proceeding.

(b)       Grantor waives any defense arising by reason of (A) any disability or other defense of Third Party Borrower, any endorser or guarantor or any other person; (B) the cessation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full of the indebtedness of Third Party Borrower, of the liability of any endorser or guarantor or any other person; (C) the application by Third Party Borrower of the proceeds of any indebtedness for purposes other than the purpose represented by Third Party Borrower to Grantee or intended or understood by Grantee or Grantor; (D) any act or omission by Grantee which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of Third Party Borrower or of any indebtedness by operation of law or otherwise; (E) any modification to any secured indebtedness, and including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of the indebtedness, or other change in the terms of the indebtedness or any part thereof, including an increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; and (F) all suretyship and guarantor’s defenses generally.

(c)       Grantor shall have no right of subrogation, and Grantor further waives any right to enforce any remedy which Grantee now has or may hereafter have against Third Party Borrower, any endorser or guarantor or any other person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in any security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Grantee from Third Party Borrower or any other person.

 

Section 19.5.   FURTHER EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS. Grantor waives all rights and defenses that the Grantor may have because the Third Party Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things:

(a)       The Grantee may foreclose against the Grantor’s interests without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Third Party Borrower;

(b)       If the Grantee forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Third Party Borrower: (A) the amount of the debt may reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) the Grantee may foreclose against the Grantor’s interests even if the Grantee, by foreclosing on the Third Party Borrower’s interests, has destroyed any right the Grantor may have to collect from the Third Party Borrower.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Grantor may have because the Third Party Borrower’s debt is secured by the Third Party Borrower’s interest in real property.

 

(a)       Grantor warrants and agrees that Grantor has had all necessary opportunity to secure any advice which Grantor desires with respect to each of the waivers set forth above, that such waivers are made with Grantor’s full knowledge of their significance and consequences, and that under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law.

(b)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, all waivers in this paragraph shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law.
