(K)(1) Assignment: Grantor hereby grants, assigns, transfers
and sets over unto Beneficiary, its successors and assigns, all of
Grantor's right, title and interest in and to the Rents (as hereafter
defined) and Leases (as hereafter defined) together with (a) all
rights, remedies, benefits and advantages to be derived therefrom, (b)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all of the right, power
and authority of Grantor to alter, modify or change the terms of the
Leases, or to surrender, cancel or terminate the same and (c) all
Rents, arising from the Leases and renewals thereof, if any.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein contained, the assignment
of Rents and Leases contained herein is intended by Grantor and
Beneficiary to be an absolute and unconditional assignment.
(2) Modification and Termination: Grantor shall not modify or
terminate any existing Lease or enter into any new Lease without the
prior written consent of Beneficiary.
(3) Collection of Rents: Grantor shall have a license (which
license may, at the option of Beneficiary, be terminated upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default) to collect, upon but not prior to
accrual, all Rents from the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that
all such Rents that are ever received by Grantor shall be applied
first to pay the sums due and to be due upon the Indebtedness and
otherwise to discharge the remaining items referred to in subparts
(a), (b) and (c) of Section 2.01(K)4 below, and Grantor covenants and
agrees, and represents and warrants to Beneficiary that upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, a constructive trust is hereby
imposed upon such Rents for the benefit of Beneficiary for the uses
and purposes set forth in such subparts (a), (b) and (c).
Notwithstanding anything contained herein or otherwise to the
contrary, possession of the Mortgaged Property by Beneficiary shall
not be a prerequisite to Beneficiary's right to collect Rents upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, it being hereby declared that the
Assignment of Rents and Leases set forth herein is absolute and
6
7
unconditional and, subject only to the license hereinabove granted,
shall entitle Beneficiary to collect all Rents.
(4) Default: Upon or at any time after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Beneficiary, without in any way waiving such default,
may at its option take possession of the Mortgaged Property and have,
hold, manage, lease and operate the same, on such terms and for such
period of time as Beneficiary may deem proper, and may collect and
receive all Rents of the Mortgaged Property, with full power to make
from time to time all alterations, renovations, repairs or
replacements thereto as may seem proper to Beneficiary, and to apply
such Rents to the payment of (a) the cost of all such alterations,
renovations, repairs and replacements, and expenses incident to taking
and retaining possession of the Mortgaged Property, and the management
and operation thereof, and keeping the same properly insured, and (b)
all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, water rents, and any other
liens which may be prior in lien or payment to the mortgage debt, and
premiums for said insurance, with interest on all such items and (c)
the Indebtedness, together with all costs and attorney's fees, in such
order of priority as to any of such items as Beneficiary in its sole
discretion may determine.
(5) Possession: Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary, at
Beneficiary's option, upon any taking by Beneficiary of possession of
the Mortgaged Property hereunder, to let or relet the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof, to cancel and modify leases, evict
tenants, bring or defend any suits in connection with the possession
of the Mortgaged Property in its own name or Grantor's name, make
repairs as Beneficiary deems appropriate, and perform such other acts
in connection with the management and operation of the Mortgaged
Property as Beneficiary, in its discretion, may deem proper. The
receipt by Beneficiary of any rents, issues or profits pursuant to
this assignment after the institution of foreclosure proceedings under
this Deed of Trust shall not cure any default nor affect such
proceedings or sale pursuant thereto.
(6) Grantor's Obligations: Beneficiary shall not be obligated
to perform or discharge, nor does it hereby undertake to perform or
discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or under
or by reason of this assignment; and Grantor shall and does hereby
agree to perform and discharge any and all obligations, duties and
liabilities of Grantor under the terms of any of the Leases and to
indemnify Beneficiary for and to hold Beneficiary harmless of and from
any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or might incur
under the Leases or under or by reason of this assignment, and of and
from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted
against it by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its
part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements
contained in the Leases, except for matters caused by Beneficiary's
gross negligence or willful acts. Should Beneficiary incur any
liability, loss or damage under the Leases or under or by reason of
this assignment, or in the defense of any such claims or demands, the
amounts thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorney's
fees, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust; and Grantor shall
reimburse Beneficiary therefor immediately upon demand, and upon
failure of Grantor so
7
8
to do Beneficiary may declare all sums secured by this Deed of Trust
immediately due and payable.
(7) Payment of Indebtedness: Upon payment in full of all
Indebtedness secured hereby, this assignment shall become and be void
and of no effect; but the affidavit, certificate, letter or statement
of any officer, supervisor or attorney of Beneficiary, showing any
part of said Indebtedness to remain unpaid, shall be and constitute
conclusive evidence of the validity, effectiveness and continuing
force of this assignment, and any person may be and is hereby
authorized to rely thereon. A demand on the tenants by Beneficiary for
the payment of the rents on any default claimed by Beneficiary shall
be sufficient notice to said tenants to make future payments of rents
to Beneficiary, without the necessity of further consent by said
Grantor.
(8) Release: Beneficiary may take or release other security,
may release any party primarily or secondarily liable for any
Indebtedness secured hereby, may grant extensions, renewals or
indulgences with respect to such Indebtedness, and may apply any other
security therefor held by it to the satisfaction of such indebtedness,
without prejudice to any of its rights hereunder.
(9) Waiver: Nothing herein contained and no act done or
omitted by Beneficiary pursuant to the powers and rights granted it
herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by Beneficiary of its rights and
remedies under the Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement), but this assignment is
made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies
possessed by Beneficiary under the terms thereof. The right of
Beneficiary to collect said Indebtedness and to enforce any other
security therefor owned by it may be exercised by Beneficiary either
prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by it
under this assignment. This assignment and the powers and rights
granted are separate and independent from any obligation contained
elsewhere in this Deed of Trust and may be enforced without regard to
whether Beneficiary institutes foreclosure proceedings under this Deed
of Trust.
For purposes of this Section 2.01(K), (i) the term "Rents" shall mean
all of the rents, revenues, income, proceeds, royalties, issues,
profits and other benefits paid or payable for using, leasing,
licensing, possessing, operating from or in, residing in, selling,
mining, extracting or otherwise enjoying or using the Mortgaged
Property; and (ii) the term "Leases" shall mean any and all leases,
subleases, licenses, concessions or other agreements (written or
verbal, now or hereafter in effect) which grant a possessory interest
in and to, or the right to extract, mine, reside in, sell or use the
Mortgaged Property, and all other agreements, including, but not
