III.
GENERAL AGREEMENTS

 

3.1           Payment of Indebtedness.  Mortgagor shall pay promptly and when due all amounts owing by Mortgagor in respect of the Secured Indebtedness at the times and in the manner provided in the Indenture, the Notes, this Second Mortgage, or any of the other Note Documents.  The Notes bear interest at 8% annually and the latest scheduled final maturity date of such Notes is currently March 1, 2011.

 

3.2           Impositions.  Except as otherwise permitted under Section 4.05 of the Indenture, Mortgagor shall pay prior to delinquency, all general taxes, special taxes, special assessments, water charges, sewer charges, and any other charges, fees, taxes, claims, levies, expenses, liens and assessments, ordinary or extraordinary, governmental or nongovernmental, statutory or otherwise (all of the foregoing being herein collectively referred to as “Impositions”), that may be asserted against the Property or any part thereof or Mortgagor’s interest therein.

 

3.3           Payment of Impositions by Mortgagee.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), Mortgagee is hereby authorized to make or advance, in the place and stead of Mortgagor, any payment relating to Impositions.  Mortgagee may do so according to any ▇▇▇▇, statement, or estimate procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy or the validity of any Impositions, lien, sale, forfeiture, or related title or claim.  Mortgagee is further authorized to make or advance, in place of Mortgagor, unless such matter is being properly contested by Mortgagor in accordance with

 

 

Section 4.05 of the Indenture, any payment relating to any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, statement of lien, encumbrance, claim, charge, or payment otherwise relating to any other purpose herein and hereby authorized, but not enumerated in this Section 3.3, with written notice to Mortgagor whenever, in Mortgagee’s judgment and discretion, such advance is necessary to protect the full security intended to be created by this Second Mortgage.  All such advances and indebtedness authorized by this Section 3.3 shall constitute Secured Indebtedness and shall be repayable by Mortgagor upon demand with interest at nine percent (9%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).

 

3.4           Condemnation and Eminent Domain.  Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prompt notice of all proceedings, instituted or threatened, seeking condemnation or a taking by eminent domain or like process (herein collectively called “Taking”), of all or any part of the Property or affecting any related easement or appurtenance (including severance of, consequential damage to, or change in grade of streets), and shall deliver to Mortgagee copies of any and all papers served in connection with any such proceeding.  Mortgagee (or, after entry of decree of foreclosure, the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or decree creditor, as the case may be) is hereby authorized at its option to participate in such proceeding and control the same and to be represented therein by counsel of its own choice, and Mortgagor will deliver, or cause to be delivered to Mortgagee such instruments as may be requested by it from time to time to permit such participation or control.  Mortgagor must obtain Mortgagee’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle any such proceeding.  Mortgagor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto Mortgagee the entire proceeds of any and all Awards resulting from any Taking.  Mortgagee is hereby authorized to collect and receive from the condemnation authorities all Awards and is further authorized to give appropriate receipts and acquittances.  Such Award or payment, less the amount of any expenses incurred in litigating, arbitrating, compromising, or settling any claim arising out of a Taking, shall be applied in the same manner as if they were proceeds from a casualty loss covered by insurance in accordance with Section 10.06 of the Indenture and in accordance with Section 3.5 hereafter.

 

3.5           Restoration.  In the event there shall be casualty loss or a Taking, and Mortgagee elects or is required to cause the applicable insurance proceeds or Award to be applied to restore, repair or replace the Property (“Restoration”), Mortgagee shall disburse such insurance proceeds or Award in accordance with disbursement procedures reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee, including, without limitation, such procedures as are customarily utilized by construction lenders to insure the lien free completion of construction projects.  No such insurance proceeds or Award shall be disbursed unless the following conditions are satisfied promptly upon the occurrence of the casualty loss or Taking (but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days following such occurrence):

 

(a)           Mortgagee shall have received and approved (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) complete plans and specifications for the Restoration;

 

(b)           Mortgagee shall have received and approved a construction contract for the work of Restoration with one or more contractors acceptable to Mortgagee; and

 

 

(c)           Mortgagee shall have received copies of all permits and approvals required in connection with the Restoration.

 

3.6           Maintenance of Property.  Mortgagor shall:

 

(a)           promptly repair, restore, replace or rebuild any material portion of the Property which may become damaged, destroyed, altered, removed, severed, or demolished, whether or not proceeds of insurance are available or sufficient for the purpose, with replacements at least equal in quality and condition as previously existed, free from any security interest in, encumbrances on or reservation of title thereto except the lien of this Second Mortgage and Permitted Prior Liens;

 

(b)           keep the Property in good condition and repair, without waste, and free from mechanics’, materialmen’s or like liens or claims except for Permitted Prior Liens; and

 

(c)           not make any material alterations in the Property, which would reasonably be expected to cause a material diminution of the value of the Property or cause violation of any law applicable to the use and occupancy of the Property, except as required by law or municipal ordinance or in the ordinary course of business.

 

3.7           Prohibited Liens; Prohibited Transfers.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise permitted in Section 4.12 of the Indenture, Mortgagor shall not create, suffer, or permit to be created or filed against the Property any Lien superior or inferior to the lien created by this Second Mortgage.

 

(b)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.10 of the Indenture, Mortgagor may not sell, lease or convey all or any part of the Property or any interest therein.

 

3.8           Assignment of Leases and Rents.

 

(a)           All right, title, and interest of Mortgagor in and to all Leases and Rents are hereby transferred and assigned simultaneously herewith to Mortgagee.  Although it is the intention of the parties that the assignment contained in this paragraph shall be a present assignment, it is expressly understood and agreed, anything to the contrary notwithstanding, that Mortgagee shall not exercise any of the rights or powers conferred upon it by this paragraph unless an Event of Default shall exist and be continuing under this Second Mortgage.

 

(b)           Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, (a) Mortgagee shall have the rights and powers as are provided herein, (b) this Second Mortgage shall constitute a direction to each lessee under the Leases and each guarantor thereof to pay all Rents directly to Mortgagee without proof of the Event of Default, and (c) Mortgagee shall have the authority, as Mortgagor’s attorney-in-fact (such authority being coupled with an interest and irrevocable), to sign

 

 

the name of Mortgagor and to bind Mortgagor on all papers and documents relating to the operation, leasing and maintenance of the Property.

 

(c)           If Mortgagor, as lessor under any Lease, shall neglect or refuse to perform, observe and keep any of the covenants, provisions and agreements contained in such Lease, then Mortgagee may perform and comply with any such Lease covenants, agreements and provisions with written notice to Mortgagor.  All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in complying with such covenants, agreements, and provisions shall constitute Secured Indebtedness and shall be payable upon demand with interest payable at the Default Rate.

 

(d)           Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease, and Mortgagor shall and does hereby agree, except to the extent of Mortgagee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, to indemnify and hold the Mortgagee harmless of and from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or might incur under any Lease or under or by reason of their assignments and of and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against it by reason of alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in such Lease.  Should Mortgagee incur any such liability, loss or damage under any Lease or under or by reason of its assignment to Mortgagee, or in the defense of any claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall constitute Secured Indebtedness and shall be payable upon demand with interest payable at the Default Rate.

 

3.9           Uniform Commercial Code.

 

(a)           This Second Mortgage constitutes a Security Agreement as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code in the State (the “Code”) with respect to any part of the Property which may or might now or hereafter be or be deemed to be personal property, fixtures or property other than real estate (including all replacements thereof, additions thereto and substitutions therefor) (collectively, the “Personal Property Collateral”).  All of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in the Personal Property Collateral is hereby assigned to Mortgagee to secure the payment of the Secured Indebtedness.

 

(b)           At any time after an Event of Default has occurred and shall be continuing, Mortgagee shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Code, including without limitation the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the Personal Property Collateral or any part thereof.  The remedies of Mortgagee hereunder are cumulative and the exercise of any one or more of the remedies provided for herein or under the Code shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other remedies of the Mortgagee, including having the Personal Property Collateral deemed part of the realty upon any foreclosure so long as any part of the Secured Indebtedness remains unsatisfied.

 

(c)           This Second Mortgage is intended to be a “fixture filing” for purposes of the Code with respect to the items of Property which are or may become fixtures relating

 

 

to the Premises upon recording of this Second Mortgage in the real estate records of the proper office.  The addresses of Mortgagor (Debtor) and Mortgagee (Secured Party) are set forth in Section 5.1 hereof.

 

(d)           The Mortgagor hereby directs that the Mortgagee shall cause to be recorded in the County in which the Premises are located, as well as with the applicable offices of the State, such financing statements and fixture filings as shall be necessary in order to perfect and preserve the priority of Mortgagee’s lien upon the Personal Property Collateral.

 

3.10         Releases.  Without notice and without regard to the consideration therefor, and to the existence at that time of any inferior liens, Mortgagee may release from the lien created hereby all or any part of the Property, or release from liability any person obligated to repay any of the Obligations, without affecting the liability of any party to any of the Notes, this Second Mortgage, or any of the other Note Documents (including without limitation any guaranty given as additional security) and without in any way affecting the priority of the lien created hereby.  Mortgagee may agree with any liable party to extend the time for payment of any part or all of the Obligations.  Such agreement shall not in any way release or impair the lien created by this Second Mortgage or reduce or modify the liability of any person or entity obligated personally to repay the Obligations, but shall extend the lien created by this Second Mortgage as against the title of all parties having any interest in the Property.

 

3.11         Further Assurances.  Mortgagor agrees that, upon the request of Mortgagee from time to time, it will, at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such additional instruments and further assurances of title and will do or cause to be done all such further acts and things as may reasonably be necessary to fully effectuate the intent of this Second Mortgage.  In the event that Mortgagor shall fail to do any of the foregoing, Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion, do so in the name of Mortgagor, and Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact to do any of the foregoing.

 

IV.
EVENT OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

 

4.1           Event of Default.  The occurrence of an “Event of Default,” as such term is defined in the Indenture, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Second Mortgage.

 

4.2           Foreclosure and Remedies.  When all or any part of the Secured Indebtedness shall become due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose the lien hereof for such Secured Indebtedness or part thereof and/or exercise any right, power or remedy provided in this Second Mortgage or any of the other Note Documents.

 

4.3           Remedies Cumulative and Non-Waiver.  No remedy or right of Mortgagee hereunder or under the Notes, or any of the Note Documents or otherwise, or available under applicable law, shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy.  Each such remedy or right shall be in addition to every other remedy or right now or hereafter existing under any such document or under applicable law.  No delay in the exercise of, or omission to exercise, any remedy or

 

 

right accruing on the occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any such remedy or right or be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, nor shall it affect any subsequent Event of Default of the same or a different nature, nor shall it extend or affect any grace period.  Every remedy or right may be exercised concurrently or independently, when and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee.  All obligations of the Mortgagor, and all rights, powers and remedies of the Mortgagee shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, those provided by law or in the Notes or contained in any of the Note Documents or any other written agreement or instrument relating to any of the Secured Indebtedness or any security therefor.

 

4.4           Expenses.  In any proceeding to foreclose or partially foreclose the lien of this Second Mortgage, there shall be allowed and included, as additional indebtedness in the judgment or decree resulting therefrom, all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of Mortgagee in the protection of the Property and the exercise of Mortgagee’s rights and remedies hereunder, which expenses may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of any judgment or decree of foreclosure.  Such expenses shall include:  reasonable attorney’s fees, appraiser’s fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographer’s charges, publication costs, survey costs, and costs of procuring all abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, and any similar data and assurances with respect to title to the Property as Mortgagee may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute any such proceeding or to evidence to bidders at any sale pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or value of the Premises or the Property.  All such expenses shall be due and payable by Mortgagor upon demand with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

 

4.5           Mortgagee’s Performance of Mortgagor’s Obligations.  Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Mortgagee, either before or after acceleration of the Secured Indebtedness or the foreclosure of the lien hereof and during the period of redemption, if any, may, but shall not be required to (a) make any payment or perform any act herein, in the Notes or any other Note Document which is required of Mortgagor (whether or not Mortgagor is personally liable therefor) in any form and manner deemed expedient to Mortgagee; (b) make full or partial payments of principal or interest on any permitted prior mortgage or encumbrance and purchase, discharge, compromise or settle any tax lien or other prior lien on title or claim thereof, or redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture affecting the Premises, or contest any Impositions; and (c) complete construction, furnishing and equipping of the Improvements upon the Premises and rent, operate and manage the Premises and such Improvements and pay operating costs and expenses, including management fees, of every kind and nature in connection therewith, so that the Premises and Improvements shall be operational and usable for their intended purposes.  All monies paid for any of the purposes herein authorized, and all expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall constitute Secured Indebtedness, and shall become due and payable upon demand and with interest thereon at the Default Rate.  Mortgagee, in making any payment hereby authorized: (x) for the payment of Impositions, may do so according to any ▇▇▇▇ or statement, without inquiry into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof; (y) for the purchase, discharge, compromise or settlement of any other prior lien, may do so without inquiry as to the validity or amount of any claim or lien which may

 

 

be asserted; or (z) for the completion of construction, furnishing or equipping of the Improvements or the Premises or the rental, operation or management of the Premises or the payment of operating cost and expenses thereof, may do so in such amounts and to such persons as Mortgagee may reasonably deem appropriate and may enter into such contracts therefor as Mortgagee may deem appropriate or may perform the same itself.

 

4.6           Right of Possession.  Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Mortgagor shall, immediately upon Mortgagee’s demand, surrender to Mortgagee, and Mortgagee shall be entitled to take actual possession of the Property or any part thereof, personally or by its agent or attorneys.  Mortgagee may enter upon and take and maintain possession or may apply to the court in which a foreclosure is pending to be placed in possession of all or any part of the Property, together with all documents, books, records, papers, and accounts of Mortgagor or the then owner of the Property relating thereto.  Mortgagee may exclude Mortgagor, such owner, and any agents and servants from the Property.  As attorney-in-fact or agent of Mortgagor or such owner, or in its own name Mortgagee may hold, operate, manage, and control all or any part of the Property, either personally or by its agents.  Mortgagee shall have full power to use such measures, legal or equitable, as it may deem proper or necessary to enforce the payment or security of the rents, issues, deposits, profits, and avails of the Property, including actions for recovery of rent, actions in forcible detainer, and actions in distress for rent, all without notice to Mortgagor.

 

4.7           Application of Income Received by Mortgagee.  Mortgagee, in the exercise of the rights and powers hereinabove conferred upon it, shall have full power to use and apply the avails, rents, issues and profits of the Property to the payment of or on account of the following, in such order as Mortgagee may determine:  (i) to the payment of the operating expenses of the Property including cost of management thereof, established claims for damages, if any, and premiums on insurance hereinabove authorized; (ii) to the payment of taxes and special assessments now due or which may hereafter become due on the Premises; (iii) to all other items which may under the terms hereof constitute Secured Indebtedness additional to that evidenced by the Notes, with interest thereon as provided herein or in the other Note Documents; and (iv) to all principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes.

 

4.8           Appointment of Receiver.  Upon, or at any time after, the filing of a complaint to foreclose (or partially foreclose) this Second Mortgage, the court in which such complaint is filed shall, upon petition by Mortgagee, appoint a receiver for the Property.  Such appointment may be made either before or after foreclosure sale, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency, at the time of application for such receiver, of the person or persons, if any, liable for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness, without regard to the value of the Property at such time and whether or not the same is occupied as a homestead, and without bond being required of the applicant.  Mortgagee or any employee of Mortgagee thereof may be appointed as such receiver.  Such receiver shall have all powers and duties prescribed by applicable law, including the power to take possession, control, and care of the Property and to collect all rents thereof during the pendency of such foreclosure suit and, in the event of a sale and deficiency, where Mortgagor has not waived its statutory rights of redemption, during the full statutory period of redemption, as well as during any further times when Mortgagor or its

 

 

devisees, legatees, heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, or assigns, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collect such rents.  The court from time to time, either before or after entry of judgment of foreclosure, may authorize the receiver to apply the net income in his hands in payment in whole or in part of:  (a) the indebtedness secured hereby, or by any decree foreclosing this Second Mortgage, or any tax, special assessment or other lien which may be or become superior to the lien hereof or of such decree, provided such application is made prior to foreclosure sale, and (b) the deficiency in case of a sale and deficiency.

 

4.9           Foreclosure Sale.  In the event of any foreclosure sale, the Property may be sold in one or more parcels.  Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof at any sale made under or by virtue of this Second Mortgage and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the purchase price the unpaid amounts due and owing in respect of any Notes, Obligations or any other liabilities after deducting from the sales price the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action or proceedings and any other sums that Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Second Mortgage or applicable law.

 

4.10         Application of Proceeds of Foreclosure Sale.  The proceeds of any foreclosure sale of the Property shall be distributed and applied in the following order of priority:  first, to all costs and expenses incident to the foreclosure proceedings, including all such items as are mentioned in Section 4.4 above; second, to all other items which may under the terms hereof constitute Secured Indebtedness additional to that evidenced by the Notes, with interest thereon as provided herein or in the other Note Documents; third, to all principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes; and fourth, any surplus to Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, as their rights may appear or to any other party legally entitled thereto.

 

4.11         Adjournment of Foreclosure Sale.  Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Second Mortgage by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales, and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable provisions of law, Mortgagee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.

 

4.12         Insurance Upon Foreclosure.  In case of an insured loss after foreclosure proceedings have been instituted, the proceeds of any insurance policy or policies, if not applied in repairing, restoring, replacing or rebuilding any portion of the Property, shall be used to pay the amount due in accordance with any decree of foreclosure that may be entered in any such proceedings, and the balance, if any, shall be paid as the court may direct.  In case of the foreclosure of this Second Mortgage, the court in its judgment may provide that the judgment creditor may cause a new or additional loss clause to be attached to each of said policies making the loss thereunder payable to said judgment creditor; and any such foreclosure judgment may further provide, unless the right of redemption has been waived, that in case of redemption under said judgment, then, and in every such case, the redemptory may cause the preceding loss clause attached to each insurance policy to be canceled and a new loss clause to be attached thereto, making the loss thereunder payable to such redemptory.

 

 

4.13         Waiver of Statutory Rights.  To the extent permitted under the laws of Ohio, Mortgagor shall not apply for or avail itself of any appraisement, valuation, redemption, stay, extension, or exemption laws, or any so-called “moratorium laws,” now existing or hereafter enacted, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Second Mortgage, and Mortgagor hereby waives the benefit of such laws.  Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim through or under it, waives any and all rights to have the Property and estates comprising the Property marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien of this Second Mortgage, and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the Property sold in its entirety.  Mortgagor further waives any and all rights of redemption from foreclosure and from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of the lien created by this Second Mortgage, for itself and on behalf of: (i) any trust estate of which the Premises are a part; (ii) all beneficially interested persons; (iii) each and every person acquiring any interest in the Property or title to the Premises subsequent to the date of this Second Mortgage; and (iv) all other persons to the extent permitted by the provisions of laws of the State in which the Premises are located.

 

4.14         Effect of Judgment.  The obtaining of any judgment by Mortgagee and any levy of any execution under any judgment upon the Property shall not affect in any manner or to any extent the Lien of this Second Mortgage upon the Property or any part thereof, or any Liens, powers, rights and remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, but such Liens, powers, rights and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before until the judgment or levy is satisfied.
