|
(a) Agent’s Power of Enforcement. The Agent may immediately foreclose this Mortgage by judicial action. The court in which any proceeding is pending for the purpose of foreclosure of this Mortgage may, at once or at any time thereafter, either before or after sale, without notice and without requiring bond, and without regard to the solvency or insolvency of any person liable for payment of the Obligations Secured, and without regard to the then value of the Mortgaged Property or the occupancy thereof as a homestead, appoint a receiver (the provisions for the appointment of a receiver and assignment of rents being an express condition upon which the loans and other financial accommodations hereby secured are made) for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with power to collect the Rents, due and to become due, during such foreclosure suit and the full statutory period of redemption notwithstanding any redemption. The receiver, out of the Rents when collected, may pay reasonable costs incurred in the management and operation of the Real Property, prior and subordinate liens, if any, and taxes, assessments, water and other utilities and insurance, then due or thereafter accruing, and may make and pay for any necessary repairs to the Real Property, and may pay any part of the Obligations Secured in accordance with the Loan Agreement or any deficiency decree entered in such foreclosure proceeding. Upon or at any time after the filing of a suit to foreclose this Mortgage, the court in which such suit is filed shall have full power to enter an order placing the Agent in possession of the Real Property with the same power granted to a receiver pursuant to this clause (a) and with all other rights and privileges of a mortgagee-in-possession under applicable law. |
|
(b) Agent’s Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and Apply Income. The Agent shall, at the direction of Required Lenders or at its option, have the right, acting through its agents or attorneys or a receiver, with process of law, to enter upon and take possession of the Real Property, to expel and remove any persons, goods or chattels occupying or upon the same, to collect or receive all the Rents, to manage and control the Real Property, to lease the Real Property or any part thereof, from time to time, and, after deducting all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of outside counsel, and all reasonable expenses incurred in the protection, care, maintenance, management and operation of the Real Property, to distribute and apply the remaining net income in such order and to such of the Obligations Secured in accordance with the Loan Agreement or any deficiency decree entered in any foreclosure proceeding. |
|
(c) Appointment of a Receiver. At any time after the commencement of an action in foreclosure, or during the period of redemption, Mortgagor waives its right to possession of the Mortgaged Property and agrees that the court having jurisdiction of the case shall, at Agent’s request, appoint a receiver to take immediate possession of the Rents and the other Mortgaged Property, and to rent the Mortgaged Property as such receiver may deem best for the interest of all
9 |
interested parties. For purposes of this Mortgage, the term “Rent” also includes “profits” and “issues.” Such receiver shall be liable to account to Mortgagor only for the net profits, after application of Rents to the costs and expenses of the receivership and foreclosure and to the Obligations Secured. |
|
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to or for the benefit of Agent under this Mortgage and the exercise of any right or remedy by or for the benefit of Agent hereunder are, as among Agent, Pari Passu Agent, the Lenders and the lenders under the Pari Passu Credit Documents, subject to the provisions of the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, which Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of Agent, Pari Passu Agent, the Lenders and the lenders under the Pari Passu Credit Documents and shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by Borrower, any ABL Borrower or any other Loan Party. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and this Mortgage, as among Agent, Pari Passu Agent, the Lenders and the lenders under the Pari Passu Credit Documents, the terms of the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Any reference in this Mortgage to “first priority lien” or words of similar effect in describing the security interests created hereunder shall be understood to refer to such priority as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements. All representations, warranties, and covenants in this Mortgage shall be subject to the provisions and qualifications set forth in this Section 4.1(d). |
|
Section 4.2 Application of Rents or Proceeds from Foreclosure or Sale |
. All proceeds of any foreclosure of this Mortgage by judicial action in any court (and any decree for sale in the event of a foreclosure by judicial action shall provide that such proceeds shall) be applied as follows:
|
(a) First, to all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Agent to the extent reimbursable under applicable law in connection with (i) the Mortgagor’s execution, delivery and performance of this Mortgage, (ii) protecting, preserving or maintaining the Real Property and (iii) enforcing the rights of the Agent hereunder (collectively “Costs and Expenses”). All Costs and Expenses shall become additional Obligations Secured when paid or incurred by the Agent in connection with any proceeding, including any bankruptcy proceeding, to which any Secured Party shall be a party, either as plaintiff, claimant or defendant, by reason of this Mortgage or any indebtedness hereby secured or in connection with the preparations for the commencement of any suit for the foreclosure, whether or not actually commenced, or if permitted by applicable law, any sale by advertisement. |
|
(b) Then, to all Obligations Secured that then remain unpaid in such order as the Required Lenders may determine in their discretion. |
The Mortgagor shall remain liable for any deficiency to the extent provided in the documents that create the Obligations Secured.
|
Section 4.3 Cumulative Remedies; Delay or Omission Not a Waiver |
. No remedy or right of the Agent shall be exclusive of, but shall be in addition to, every other remedy or right now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay in the exercise or
10
omission to exercise any remedy or right available during the existence of any Event of Default shall impair any such remedy or right or be construed to be a waiver of such Event of Default or acquiescence therein, nor shall it affect any subsequent Event of Default of the same or different nature. To the extent permitted by applicable law, every such remedy or right may be exercised concurrently or independently and when and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Agent.
|
Section 4.4 Agent’s Remedies against Multiple Parcels |
. If more than one property, lot or parcel is covered by this Mortgage, and this Mortgage is foreclosed upon or judgment is entered upon any Obligations Secured, execution may be made upon any one or more of the properties, lots or parcels and not upon the others, or upon all of such properties or parcels, either together or separately, and at different times or at the same time, and execution sales may likewise be conducted separately or concurrently, in each case at the election of the Required Lenders.
|
Section 4.5 No Merger |
. In the event of a foreclosure of this Mortgage in any court or any other mortgage or trust deed securing the Obligations Secured, the Obligations Secured then due shall, at the option of the Required Lenders, not be merged into any decree of foreclosure entered by the court, and the Agent may concurrently or subsequently seek to foreclose one or more mortgages or deeds of trust that also secure the Obligations Secured.
