16
SECTION 1.2 CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS. Borrower represents that, to its Knowledge, the Premises have been built in accordance with all applicable codes, laws and regulations, including Disabilities Regulations then in effect, and in accordance in all material respects with only those plans and specifications, if any, submitted to and approved by American Family.
Borrower shall keep and maintain the Premises in good repair and operating condition free from any waste or misuse, and shall comply with all applicable requirements of law, municipal ordinances and regulations, restrictions and covenants affecting the Premises and their use and, subject to Section 3.4 respecting the application of Insurance Proceeds, shall promptly repair or restore any buildings, improvements or structures now or hereafter on the Premises which may become damaged or destroyed to their condition immediately prior to any such damage or destruction. Borrower agrees that the Premises shall be maintained in compliance with, and any repairs, alterations, additions or replacements thereto or thereof shall be performed in compliance with, all applicable Disabilities Regulations. Borrower further agrees that, except as otherwise provided in the Accredited Lease, without the prior written consent of American Family, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, Borrower shall not expand any improvements on the Premises, erect any new improvements or make any alterations in any improvements which will materially alter the basic structure, materially affect the market value in an adverse manner or materially change the existing architectural character of the Premises. “Materially” shall mean any alteration or change, or cumulative alterations or changes, excluding non-structural tenant improvements and/or cosmetic changes such as relocation or removal of demising walls, over the term of the Loan, which costs Twenty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($20,000.00) or more or which adversely affect the market value of the Premises by more than Twenty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($20,000.00). Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of American Family, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld by American Family, acquiesce in any rezoning classification, modification or restriction affecting the Premises, nor shall Borrower abandon the Premises.
SECTION 1.3 PAYMENT OF OPERATING COSTS; PRIOR SECURITY DEEDS AND LIENS. Borrower agrees that it will pay all operating costs and expenses of the Premises; keep the Premises free from Liens; keep the Premises free from any Levy and will pay when due all indebtedness which may be secured by a security deed, Lien or charge on or against the Premises and upon request will exhibit to American Family satisfactory evidence of such payment and discharge.

During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall pay all Impositions when due and before imposition of any penalty or interest thereon, and provide American Family proof of payment of real estate taxes and property-related assessments not later than fifteen (15) days after such Impositions would become delinquent if not paid. Borrower shall annually certify that all Impositions have been timely paid for the preceding twelve (12) months. In the event a
17
payment of an Imposition becomes delinquent, Borrower shall in writing, report the due date and amount of such delinquency to American Family within fifteen (15) days of the date of such delinquency. In the event of a court decree or any enactment after the date hereof by any legislative authority of any law imposing upon a holder of a security deed payment of the whole or any part of any Impositions herein required to be paid by Borrower, or changing in any way the laws relating to the taxation of security deeds or debts secured by security deed so as to impose such Imposition upon American Family or on the interest of American Family in the Premises, then in any such event, Borrower shall bear and pay the full amount of such Imposition, provided that if for any reason payment by Borrower of any such Imposition would be unlawful, or if the payment thereof would constitute usury or render the Indebtedness wholly or partially usurious, American Family, at its option, may pay that amount or that portion of such Imposition which renders the Indebtedness unlawful or usurious, in which event Borrower shall concurrently therewith pay the remaining lawful and non-usurious portion or balance of said Imposition. Nothing herein shall obligate Borrower to reimburse Lender for income or similar taxes payable by Lender in connection with the Loan secured hereby.
SECTION 1.5 REPORTS. Borrower and each Guarantor shall provide to American Family at Borrower’s sole expense during the term of the Loan, such Reports as may be specifically prescribed by the Loan Documents or as are reasonably requested from time to time of any such party by American Family. Whenever American Family submits a written request to any such party for a Report, such Report shall become due thirty (30) days after the postmarked date of American Family’s request, unless it is not reasonable to produce the requested report within 30 days, or within such other period as such party may request of American Family in writing within fifteen (15) days of such postmarked date, and to which period American Family may reasonably consent in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If such party fails to provide a requested Report by the due date for that Report, Borrower shall pay a Late Charge equal to One Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($1,000.00) for each such instance. Any such Late Charge shall become due on the date when the item which such party fails to provide was due. All such Late Charges shall be cumulative and recurring. Borrower shall also pay Additional Interest monthly on the due date of scheduled principal and interest payments, at the Default Rate specified in the Note on the average daily balance of the cumulative amount of such Late Charges, until all such Late Charges are paid in full. If at maturity of the Loan all such Late Charges and Additional Interest have not been paid by Borrower to American Family, American Family may lawfully withhold any document evidencing satisfaction and payment of the Loan.

18
SECTION 1.7 CONTEST OF IMPOSITIONS, LIENS AND LEVIES. Borrower shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Imposition, Lien, or Levy so long as Borrower shall in good faith contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent collection of the Imposition, Lien or Levy so contested and to prevent sale of the Premises, or any part thereof to satisfy the same, provided that Borrower shall, at least five (5) business days prior to the date such Imposition, Lien or Levy is due and payable, have given such reasonable security as may be requested by American Family to ensure such payments and prevent any sale or forfeiture of the Premises by reason of such nonpayment. In no event shall the security given by Borrower be less than the amount of such Imposition, Lien or Levy, plus a reasonable additional sum to pay all costs, interest and penalties that may be imposed or incurred in connection therewith, to assure payment of the matters under contest and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of the Premises or any part thereof. The security shall be in cash, its equivalent, an indemnity bond or surety, or such other form as may be acceptable to American Family. Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and Borrower shall promptly after final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Imposition, Lien or Levy so determined, together with any interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Upon evidence reasonably satisfactory to American Family of final payment of any such Imposition, Lien or Levy contested by Borrower, American Family shall within a reasonable time period return the balance of the security, if any, to Borrower. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, Borrower shall, and if Borrower shall fail so to do, American Family may, but shall not be required to, pay such Imposition, Lien or Levy notwithstanding such contest if in the reasonable opinion of American Family the Premises shall be in jeopardy or in danger of being wholly or partially forfeited or foreclosed. Any such payments by American Family shall be deemed Recoverable Costs.
SECTION 1.8 PROTECTION OF SECURITY. Borrower agrees to promptly notify American Family of any suit, action or proceeding that is reasonably likely to affect the value of the Premises. In such event, American Family may elect to appear in or through its counsel and defend any such action or proceeding. So long as Borrower proceeds, in the reasonable judgment of American Family, to defend any such suit, action or proceeding in good faith and is making every reasonable effort to resolve such suit, action or proceeding, Borrower shall have the authority, but only with the prior written concurrence of American Family, such concurrence not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to determine when and under what circumstances and terms of settlement, such suit, action or proceeding may be resolved. If American Family, in the exercise of its business judgment, reasonably believes Borrower is not proceeding with due dispatch and in good faith to defend or resolve such suit, action or proceeding, American Family may elect, through its counsel, to appear in and defend any suit, action or proceeding. Borrower agrees to indemnify and reimburse American Family from any and all loss, damage, expense or cost arising out of or incurred in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding, including costs of evidence of title and reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and costs. Any such losses, damages, expenses or costs shall be deemed Recoverable Costs.

Borrower covenants that it shall keep true and accurate records of its business operations and the operation of the Premises. In the event Borrower fails to furnish any of the above statements when due, or upon an uncured Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable opportunity to cure period, American Family may cause an audit to be made of the respective books and records of Borrower at the sole cost and expense of Borrower. In the event of an uncured Event of Default, American Family also shall have the right to examine at any time during regular business hours, at their place of safekeeping, all books, accounts and records relating to Borrower’s operation of the Premises, to make copies or abstracts therefrom and to discuss the affairs, finances or accounts with the officers or employees of Borrower and its accountants.

20
SECTION 1.11 PROHIBITION OF OWNERSHIP INTEREST IMPAIRMENT. Borrower acknowledges that in making the Loan, American Family is relying to a material extent on the business expertise and net worth of Permitted Owners and on the continuing interest that each Permitted Owner has, directly or indirectly, in the Premises. Borrower shall not, and shall not permit its members to, without the prior written consent of American Family, cause or permit any Ownership Interest Impairment during the term of this Loan. The occurrence of any Ownership Interest Impairment shall constitute an Event of Default and shall give American Family the right to declare all Indebtedness immediately due and payable without further notice. Prepayment due to the occurrence of an Ownership Interest Impairment shall be subject to a prepayment premium as provided in the Note.
SECTION 1.12 PERMITTED TRANSFERS. With respect to Permitted Transfers, Borrower shall submit to American Family (a) a complete description of each proposed Transfer with all accompanying documentation not less than twenty (20) business days before the proposed effective date of such Transfer; and (b) upon American Family’s request, a deposit in an amount American Family may reasonably request to pay for American Family’s out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees for outside legal counsel, to determine whether the proposed Transfer is a Permitted Transfer not requiring American Family’s prior written consent, or if requiring such consent whether such Transfer is acceptable to American Family, and for preparation of any documentation American Family may reasonably require in connection with such Transfer. American Family may require, for any such Permitted Transfers to a person or entity other than a Permitted Owner, that such transferee expressly assume the obligations under the Loan Documents of the transferor to the extent of the transferred interest.
SECTION 1.13 LOAN ASSUMPTION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, Borrower may request American Family to permit assumption of the Loan by a proposed purchaser of the Premises other than a Permitted Owner. In such event Borrower shall submit to American Family, not less than twenty (20) business days prior to any prospective closing date of such sale, a complete description of such proposed sale, and such information respecting the proposed purchaser as American Family may request. If American Family in its reasonable discretion approves such sale and assumption, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, the Loan may be assumed by such purchaser upon execution by Borrower and such purchaser of all documentation required by American Family, reimbursement of American Family by Borrower of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by American Family in connection with underwriting and documenting such assumption, and payment by Borrower to American Family of an assumption fee equal to one percent (1%) of the assumed principal balance of the Loan. American Family may in its sole discretion require a reasonable deposit from Borrower, prior to approving such sale and assumption, in an amount intended to secure payment of any such reimbursable expenses. All such out-of-pocket expenses and fees shall be deemed Recoverable Costs.
21
SECTION 1.14 TAX INCREMENTAL FINANCING. Borrower represents that the Premises are not currently included in a Tax Incremental Financing (“TIF”) program or other similar public finance program, and agrees and covenants not to voluntarily include, nor permit inclusion of, the Premises in any such program. If the Premises becomes classified, without the prior consent or permission of American Family, as property located within a TIF district or equivalent district associated with a similar public finance program, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of American Family, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, avail itself of or otherwise participate in any public financing which becomes available as a result of inclusion of the Premises within such district, nor voluntarily subject itself or the Premises to any assessment or valuation requirements, real estate tax guarantees or other restrictions or agreements associated with such district or financing. Without American Family’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower’s voluntary inclusion, or acquiescence to the inclusion, of the Premises in a TIF program or similar public finance program, or voluntary participation in any public financing associated with any such program, or voluntary subjugation of itself or the Premises to any requirements, guaranties or other restrictions or agreements associated with any such program, shall constitute an Event of Default and shall give American Family the right to declare all Indebtedness immediately due and payable without further notice. Any prepayment which derives from such Event of Default shall be subject to a prepayment premium as provided in the Note.
SECTION 1.15 ADDITIONAL INTEREST. Any and all sums in the form of Late Charges, prepayment premiums or Recoverable Costs which may become due to American Family from Borrower under any Loan Document shall bear Additional Interest from the date such sums are due until the date such sums are received by American Family. Unless otherwise specified herein: (a) any Late Charges shall become due on the date of the regularly scheduled payment next following the event resulting in such Late Charges, (b) payment to American Family of any Recoverable Costs shall become due as of the postmarked date of American Family’s written demand to Borrower for such payment, and (c) any prepayment premium shall become due on the date that the prepayment resulting in such premium is received by American Family or the date of American Family’s acceleration of the Indebtedness, whichever is earlier.
SECTION 1.16 AMERICAN FAMILY’S APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. If Borrower is in compliance with all terms and provisions of the Loan Documents and does not owe any sums to American Family pursuant to the Loan Documents other than regularly scheduled future payments of principal and interest, then all monthly Loan payments received by American Family from Borrower during the term of this Loan shall be applied first to interest and then to principal in accordance with the Amortization Schedule attached to the Note. However, in the event Borrower is not in compliance with all terms and provisions of the Loan Documents or owes any sums to American Family under the Loan
22
Documents other than regularly scheduled future payments of principal and interest, any payments may be applied by American Family to Recoverable Costs, Late Charges, prepayment premiums, Additional Interest, if any, or to interest payable by Borrower on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, or to the principal balance of the Loan, in such order as American Family may, in its sole discretion, determine, notwithstanding the application of monthly payments shown by the Amortization Schedule attached to the Note. Any regularly scheduled payment of interest, if not paid when due, shall become so much additional principal and bear interest from the date due at the Default Rate.
SECTION 1.17 ESCROWS. In the event of any uncured Event of Default that continues after the expiration of any applicable opportunity to cure period, Borrower shall, upon American Family’s written request, deposit an initial amount equal to American Family’s estimate of all Impositions and insurance premiums due or accrued against the Premises as of the date of such request, whether or not then payable, and shall monthly thereafter, on the day of each month when monthly payments of principal and interest are due, deposit such amounts as American Family may reasonably estimate are required to fully fund all future Impositions and insurance premiums on an accrual, rather than cash installment, basis. In the event that any time after commencement of such monthly deposits the total amount of deposits shall not be sufficient to pay all Impositions and insurance premiums then due, or shall be less than the amount estimated by American Family, Borrower shall, upon the request of American Family, promptly pay to American Family any amount necessary to make up such deficiency. Borrower shall provide American Family with tax invoices, insurance premium notices, and other related documents at least ten (10) regular business days prior to their due date. American Family shall pay all such monthly Impositions and insurance premiums on behalf of Borrower from the money so deposited by Borrower. Any excess of any such deposits shall be applied against subsequent payments to be made for such items. If an uncured Event of Default occurs under the terms of any Loan Document, American Family may, at its option, without being required to do so, apply any such deposits on hand to the Indebtedness in such order and manner as American Family may elect. When the Indebtedness has been fully paid, any remaining deposits shall be returned to Borrower as its interest may appear. All such deposits shall be pledged as additional security for the Indebtedness and shall be held for the purposes herein provided either at a federally insured financial institution acceptable to American Family or alternatively, at American Family’s option, by American Family. If such deposits are held by American Family, they may be commingled with other funds of American Family, shall be held without any allowance for interest thereon, and shall not be subject to the management or control of Borrower.
SECTION 1.18 INDEMNIFIED MATTERS. Borrower is aware that American Family is relying on the warranties and representations contained in the Loan Documents in making the Loan secured by the Security Deed. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold American Family harmless against any loss, liabilities, costs or fees, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and costs, American Family suffers at any time, whether during the term of the Loan or at any time thereafter, as a result of any inaccuracy in any statements certified in the Loan Documents, regardless of whether Borrower or any Guarantor had knowledge thereof. The
23
obligations of Borrower under all indemnifications contained in the Loan Documents shall be the direct obligations of each such party, respectively, in addition to constituting additional Indebtedness, and shall survive satisfaction of the Loan. Any breach of any indemnification contained in the Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default.
ARTICLE 2

Xxxxxx Validus Real Estate Management Services, LLC shall manage the Premises unless replaced with property management approved in advance in writing by American Family, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Management of the Premises shall at all times be reasonably satisfactory to American Family and American Family shall have the right to require correction of any and all management deficiencies. As used herein, “management deficiencies” shall mean failures to manage the Premises in accordance with generally accepted management practices for properties similar to the Premises. In the event any management deficiency is not corrected within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Borrower, such failure to correct such management deficiencies shall constitute an Event of Default. At least sixty (60) days preceding any proposed material change in management, or in any management agreement affecting the Premises, Borrower shall notify American Family of the proposed change in writing. American Family shall and does retain the right to consent to any material change in management by Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Borrower proceeds with a material change of management without the prior written consent of American Family, such action by Borrower shall likewise constitute an Event of Default. Upon or at any time following any Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable opportunity to cure period, American Family shall have the right to replace the management of the Premises by selecting and engaging a new property manager for the Premises, and Borrower shall pay any compensation of such management which cannot be timely paid from cash generated by operations of the Premises. The property management agreement shall require Borrower and/or the property manager, upon an Event of Default, to send to American Family certified monthly operating statements, rent rolls, evidence of real estate tax payments, evidence of insurance payments, and such other related documents as American Family may require. For the purposes of this Section, the management of the Premises shall be deemed to include all leasing and construction management efforts respecting the Premises.
SECTION 2.2 AMERICAN FAMILY’S APPROVAL OF FUTURE LEASES REQUIRED. During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall submit each proposed new Lease, if any, for review to American Family prior to entering into such Lease, and shall not enter into any such Lease without the prior written consent of American Family, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All future Leases after the date hereof shall include provisions requiring that the Tenants thereof provide Borrower with copies of their annual financial statements, complete copies of which Borrower shall provide upon request to American Family.
24
SECTION 2.3 BORROWER TO SUBMIT AND COMPLY WITH LEASES. During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall submit to American Family, within ten (10) business days of execution of each new Lease, if any, a true copy of such Lease and an SNDA duly executed by the Tenant under such Lease.
Borrower shall at its own cost and expense, perform, comply with and discharge all obligations of Borrower under all Leases, use its reasonable efforts to enforce or secure the performance of each obligation and undertaking of the respective Tenants, and appear in and defend, at its own expense, any action or proceeding arising out of or in any manner connected with Borrower’s interest in any Lease. A material, uncured default by Borrower under any Lease shall be deemed an Event of Default. Borrower shall not cause or permit any Lease Modification. Borrower shall notify American Family in writing of: (1) any actual or alleged default by either Borrower or any Tenant arising under the any Lease; and (2) any actual notice to Borrower of termination of any Lease, or (3) any required rent payment under any Lease which is not received within ten (10) days after its due date. Such notification of American Family by Borrower shall occur within five (5) business days of the earlier of Borrower’s own notification or other knowledge of such actual or alleged default or termination. In the event any Tenant seeks for any reason to buy out or financially satisfy its Lease in whole or in part prior to normal expiration of the Lease, and obtains permission from both Borrower and American Family to do so, all such proceeds shall, at the option of American Family, be applied to the Indebtedness in the order determined by American Family. In the event American Family elects to apply such proceeds to the Indebtedness, the application of such proceeds shall, at the option of American Family, result in the imposition of a prepayment premium.
SECTION 2.4 ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS. Borrower hereby sells, assigns and transfers unto American Family all of the Leases, and all of the rents and profits now due and which may hereafter become due under or by virtue of any Lease, whether written or oral, and any other agreements for the use or occupancy of the Premises, it being the intention of this Security Deed to establish an absolute transfer and present assignment of all such Leases and agreements and all of the rents and profits from the Premises unto American Family, provided that Borrower shall have the right to collect, but not prior to accrual, all of the rents and to retain, use and enjoy the same unless and until an uncured Event of Default shall occur under any Loan Document during the term of the loan or any extension thereof and continue beyond any applicable opportunity to cure period. Borrower irrevocably appoints American Family as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney in Borrower’s name and stead, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to collect all of said rents and profits.
Upon an uncured Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable opportunity to cure period, and whether before or after the institution of legal proceedings to
25
foreclose the Lien hereof or before or after sale thereunder or during any period of redemption, American Family, without being required to establish waste, adequacy of the security or solvency of Borrower, may, at its option during the term of the loan or any extension thereof, without notice: (a) in person or by agent, with or without taking possession of or entering the Premises, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate said Premises, or any part thereof; (b) cancel, enforce or modify any Lease subject to the terms thereof, and fix or modify rents, and do any acts which American Family deems proper to protect the security hereof, with or without taking possession of the Premises; or (c) apply for the appointment of a receiver in accordance with applicable law, to which receivership Borrower hereby irrevocably and unequivocally consents, and which receivership shall collect the rents and profits and all other income of any kind, manage the Premises so to prevent waste, execute any Lease within or beyond the period of receivership, and perform the terms of this Security Deed and apply the rents and profits as hereinafter provided.
The entering upon and taking possession of the Premises, the appointment of a receiver, the collection of such rents and profits and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any Event of Default under this Security Deed nor in any way operate to prevent American Family from pursuing any other remedy which it may now or hereafter have under the terms of any Loan Document nor shall it in any way be deemed to constitute American Family a mortgagee-in-possession. The rights hereunder shall in no way be dependent upon and shall apply without regard to whether the Premises are adequate to discharge the Indebtedness. The rights contained herein are in addition to and shall be cumulative with the rights given in the Assignment and, to the extent inconsistent with the terms of this Section 2.4, the terms of the Assignment shall control.
Borrower indemnifies and holds American Family harmless from any and all expenses, liability, loss or damage which it might incur under said Leases, or under or by reason of this assignment, except this indemnity shall not apply to any liability to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of American Family or first arising from and after the date that American Family or a receiver takes possession of the Premises or acquires title to the Premises through foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure. American Family may apply any of said rents and profits received to the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and costs, to the payment of Impositions, Insurance Premiums and expenditures for upkeep, operation and evaluation of the Premises, to the performance of Borrower’s obligations under any Lease, to the performance of any of Borrower’s covenants under the Loan Documents, and to any Indebtedness all in such order as American Family may determine.
Borrower represents and agrees that no rent has been or will be paid by any person in possession of any portion of the Premises for more than one (1) month in advance without American Family’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and that the payment of rents for any portion of the Premises has not been or will not be waived, released, reduced, discounted, or otherwise discharged or compromised by Borrower. Following an uncured Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable opportunity to cure period, Borrower shall not exercise any right of offset against any person in possession of any portion of the Premises. Borrower further agrees that Borrower will not execute or agree to any subsequent assignment of any rents or profits from the Premises during the term of the loan or any extension thereof, without the prior written consent of American Family, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
26
SECTION 2.5 AMERICAN FAMILY’S RIGHT TO PERFORM UNDER LEASES. If an uncured Event of Default occurs and continues after the expiration of any applicable opportunity to cure period, or if Borrower fails to perform, comply with or discharge any of its material obligations under any Lease, or if American Family becomes aware of, or is notified by any Tenant, of any failure on the part of Borrower to so perform, comply with or discharge its material obligations under a Lease, then American Family, without further demand upon Borrower, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any obligation under any Loan Document, may, but shall not be obligated to, remedy such failure, and may require Borrower to make periodic escrow payments to American Family in amounts sufficient to enable American Family to timely fund potential future obligations of landlord under any and all Leases. Such escrow payments may be commingled with other funds under American Family’s control and shall not bear interest payable to, or for the benefit of, Borrower. Borrower agrees to repay upon request all costs incurred by American Family in remedying any such failure, which sums shall be deemed Recoverable Costs. No such advance shall be deemed to relieve Borrower from any defaults under any Loan Document.
SECTION 2.6 ASSIGNMENT OF INDEMNIFICATIONS. Borrower does hereby collaterally assign to American Family any indemnification agreement(s) pertaining to, and which benefit, the Premises.
ARTICLE 3
INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION
SECTION 3.1 INSURANCE. Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and keep in full force and continued, uninterrupted effect during the term of the Loan the following insurance, with an insurer approved by American Family:
(a) Insurance against loss by fire, lightning and risk customarily covered in Georgia by standard extended coverage endorsement, vandalism and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and all such other perils as American Family may reasonably determine, all in the amount of not less than the full replacement cost without deduction for depreciation of the Premises’ improvements together with an agreed-amount endorsement, an inflation-guard endorsement, a replacement cost endorsement and a waiver of subrogation endorsement;
(b) Whenever, if ever, steam or water pressure activated equipment, vehicles or apparatus are situated on the Premises, Broad Form Boiler and Machinery Insurance on all equipment and pressure-fired vehicles or apparatus situated on the Premises, and providing for full repair and replacement cost coverage;
27
(c) Whenever, if ever, the Premises are designated as lying in a flood plain as defined by the Federal Insurance Administration, flood insurance in the maximum amount available at any time during the term of the Security Deed that the Premises are designated as lying within a flood plain as defined by the Federal Insurance Administration;
(d) Loss of Rents Insurance covering risk of loss due to the occurrence of any hazards insured against under the policies required in Sections 3.1(a), 3.1(b) and 3.1(c), in an amount equal to not less than all expenditures of the Premises accruing during a period equal to the greater of twelve (12) months or such other time period as may reasonably be anticipated for restoration of the Premises, including, but not limited to, all debt service payments, Impositions, insurance premiums and other operating expenses of the Premises;
(e) Comprehensive General Public Liability Insurance covering the legal liability of Borrower against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the Premises in an amount not less than Two Million and NO/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) combined single limit insurance;
(f) Builder’s Risk Insurance and Worker’s Compensation Insurance during the making of any alterations or improvements to the Premises;
(g) Such other forms of insurance as American Family may reasonably require or as may be required by law.
Such insurance as may be provided, or self-insured, by an accredited tenant in accordance with the terms and conditions of an accredited lease, shall satisfy the corresponding requirement for insurance under this Security Deed. Any insurance requirements of this Security Deed not satisfied by insurance provided, or self insured, by an accredited tenant in accordance with the terms and conditions of an accredited lease, shall be provided separately by Borrower.
The insurance required by subparagraphs (a), (b), (f) and (g) of this Section may provide for a deductible per loss of an amount not in excess of Twenty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($20,000.00). All insurance policies required hereby shall be written on forms and with insurance companies reasonably satisfactory to American Family, shall name as the insured parties Borrower and American Family as their interests may appear, and shall contain no exclusions which are unacceptable to American Family. Such insurance documentation shall include an absolute and unconditional agreement by the insurer(s) to provide thirty (30) days prior written notice to Director, Alternative Investments, American Family Life Insurance Company, 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, of any cancellation, termination or amendment of any such policy. All such property and liability insurance policies shall be in amounts sufficient to prevent Borrower from becoming a co-insurer of any loss thereunder and shall bear a satisfactory mortgagee clause in favor of American Family with proceeds under any such policies made payable to American Family. American Family makes no representations that the insurance requirements hereof are adequate protection for a prudent mortgagor.
Borrower shall provide American Family with such engineering data as American Family may require regarding the risk of earthquake or sinkhole damage to the Premises. If American Family reasonably determines, based on adequate engineering reports, that there is a material earthquake or sinkhole risk, or if insurance against earthquake or sinkhole risk is or becomes required by law, Borrower will provide earthquake or sinkhole insurance.
28
During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall provide American Family with XXXXX 28 Evidence of Commercial Property Insurance Form and such further evidence as American Family may reasonably require of continuous, uninterrupted insurance coverage of the Premises and evidence of the payment of current Insurance Premiums therefor. Borrower shall, within ten (10) business days of American Family’s written request, provide complete copies of all required insurance policies.
In the event any required insurance coverage shall be amended by Borrower, Borrower shall, within ten (10) days of such authorized amendment deliver, or cause to be delivered, to American Family a certified copy of the original of such amended policy. Such amendment shall be subject to the prior written consent of American Family, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld nor delayed. Borrower shall provide American Family with copies of all inspection reports and insurance recommendations received by Borrower from any insurer, and such inspection reports and insurance recommendations shall be deemed Reports.
SECTION 3.2 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF THE PREMISES. Borrower shall give American Family prompt notice of any damage to or destruction of the Premises, and in case of loss covered by policies of insurance, and subject to the terms of the Accredited Lease, American Family is authorized, at its option, to settle and adjust any claim arising out of such policies and collect and receipt for the Insurance Proceeds payable therefrom, provided that Borrower may itself adjust and collect for any losses arising out of a single occurrence aggregating not in excess of Twenty Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($20,000.00) without the prior written consent of American Family. In the event Borrower receives Insurance Proceeds from any claims resulting from losses arising out of a single occurrence aggregating in excess of Twenty Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($20,000.00), Borrower shall, immediately upon receipt, forward all such Insurance Proceeds to American Family. Any Recoverable Cost incurred by American Family in the adjustment, collection and application of Insurance Proceeds shall be reimbursed to American Family first out of any Insurance Proceeds. Any Insurance Proceeds remaining after such reimbursement to American Family shall be applied by American Family in the reduction of the Indebtedness or to Restoration, in such amounts and in such order as American Family may determine; provided, however, that if all the terms and conditions detailed in Section 3.4 are met and maintained throughout the period of Restoration, then such remaining proceeds shall be used for Restoration to the extent of the actual cost of Restoration. No prepayment premium will be charged for any application of Insurance Proceeds to the Indebtedness.
SECTION 3.3 CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall provide American Family prompt notice upon becoming aware of any action, actual or threatened, in condemnation or eminent domain against the Premises. American Family shall have the right to intervene in any such action. Borrower shall not enter into any agreement with a condemning authority permitting or consenting to the taking of the Premises, or any part thereof, unless American Family’s prior written consent is first obtained,
29
which consent shall be neither unreasonably withheld nor delayed. Borrower shall request the condemning authority to direct the proceeds of any condemnation award directly to American Family, or if the condemning authority will not so direct such proceeds, Borrower shall, immediately upon receipt of such proceeds, forward all such proceeds to American Family. Any Recoverable Cost incurred by American Family by reason of intervening in any action, or in the collection or application of such proceeds, shall be reimbursed to American Family first out of such proceeds. Any condemnation proceeds remaining after the reimbursement to American Family shall be applied by American Family in reduction of the Indebtedness or to Restoration, in such amounts and in such order as American Family may determine; provided, however, that if all the terms and conditions detailed in Section 3.4 are met and maintained throughout the period of Restoration, then such remaining proceeds shall be used for Restoration to the extent of the actual cost of Restoration. No prepayment premium will be charged for any application of proceeds from a condemnation award to the Indebtedness.
SECTION 3.4 DISBURSEMENT OF INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS. Any proceeds from a condemnation award or Insurance Proceeds during the term of the Loan not applied to the Indebtedness or to reimbursement of American Family pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, shall be deemed Restoration Funds to be used for Restoration under the terms and conditions set forth below:
(a) Evidence shall be submitted to American Family showing that: (i) Restoration is feasible; (ii) the Premises can continue to be operated by Borrower for the same use and such use will continue to conform to applicable zoning regulations, (iii) the cost of Restoration will be completely funded from Restoration Funds, provided such Restoration Funds are deemed by American Family, in its reasonable business judgment, to be adequate for the cost of Restoration; (iv) the Appraised Value of the Premises after Restoration shall be equal to or greater than the Appraised Value of the Premises as of the date of the appraisal contemplated in the Loan Commitment; and, (v) to Borrower’s Knowledge no environmental hazards respecting the Premises would exist after Restoration; and
(b) Adequate provision is made to have such Restoration Funds disbursed in accordance with this Section; and
(c) No Event of Default exists under the terms of any of the Loan Documents; and
(d) No material default exists under any Lease, and all Leases, including related guaranties, if any.
If American Family reasonably determines that a proposed Restoration fails to meet any of the terms and conditions in these immediately preceding Sections 3.4(a) through 3.4(d), then American Family shall have the option to apply the entire proceeds of the condemnation award or Insurance Proceeds in reduction of the Indebtedness. If the proposed Restoration meets each of the conditions detailed in Section 3.4(a) through (d) above, then American Family shall allow the entire Insurance Proceeds or condemnation awards, less any expense incurred by American Family in the adjustment, collection, and application of such proceeds, to be used for Restoration.
30
If the Restoration Funds are to be used for Restoration then, prior to the commencement of any portion of the Work other than temporary work needed to protect the damaged property, Borrower shall deliver to American Family:
(a) plans and specifications for the Work which (i) have been approved by all governmental authorities whose approval is required, (ii) bear the signed approval of the Architect, and (iii) are accompanied by Architect’s signed estimate of the total estimated cost of the Restoration;
(b) copies of all permits and approvals required by law in connection with the commencement and conduct of the Restoration; and
(c) a contract for a guaranteed maximum price executed by Borrower and the Contractor for performance of the Work, in form, scope and substance (including the customary retention) reasonably satisfactory to American Family; and
(d) a surety bond for, and/or guaranty reasonably satisfactory to American Family of payment for and completion of Restoration, which bond and/or guarantee shall be (i) in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to American Family, (ii) signed by a surety or sureties or guarantor or guarantors, as the case may be, who are reasonably acceptable to American Family, and (iii) in an amount not less than Architect’s total estimated cost of completing Restoration less the amount of all the net Insurance Proceeds, if any, then held by American Family.
After commencing the Work, Borrower shall perform or cause Contractor to perform the Work diligently and in good faith in accordance with the Approved Plans. American Family shall disburse the Restoration Funds in increments to Borrower or to parties to whom payments for Work are then due, as American Family shall elect from time to time as the Work progresses, to pay for the costs of the Restoration. Such disbursements shall be subject to the following conditions, any of which American Family may waive:
(a) Architect shall monitor and report to American Family on the progress of the Work; and
(b) American Family shall make such payments only upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Borrower to American Family, which notice shall include Borrower’s delivery to American Family of (i) a Request for Payment, (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to American Family that there are no mechanic’s or similar Liens for labor or material supplied in connection with the Work to date, or that any such Liens have been adequately provided for, to American Family’s satisfaction; and (iii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to American Family that the balance of Restoration Funds remaining after making the payments will be sufficient to pay for the Restoration not then completed (giving in such reasonable detail as American Family may require an estimate of the cost of such completion). Each Request for Payment shall be accompanied by waivers of Liens reasonably satisfactory to American Family covering that part of the Work previously paid for, if any, and by a search
31
prepared by a title company or by other evidence reasonably satisfactory to American Family that no mechanic’s Liens or other Liens or instruments for the retention of title in respect of any part of the Work have been filed against the Premises and not discharged of record and that no encumbrance exists on, or affects, the Premises other than permitted encumbrances, if any, described on Exhibit B attached hereto;
(c) Any Request for Payment after the Restoration has been completed shall be accompanied by a copy of any certificate or certificates required by law to render occupancy of the Premises legal.
If any Restoration Funds remain after completion of Restoration and payment of all related costs, then a portion of such remaining Restoration Funds, up to the total amount of Borrower’s own funds, if any, deposited with condemnation proceeds or Insurance Proceed as additional Restoration Funds, shall be returned to Borrower. Any Restoration Funds then remaining, after such return of funds to Borrower, shall be applied by American Family to the Indebtedness in such amounts and in such order as American Family may determine. Any return of Restoration Funds to Borrower shall be conditioned upon American Family’s prior receipt of the Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises and other reasonable and customary evidence requested by American Family that Restoration has been completed in accordance with the Approved Plans, that the costs thereof are paid in full, and that no Liens for labor or material supplied in connection with Restoration are outstanding against the Premises, and provided that Borrower is not then in default under any of the Loan Documents or any Major Lease and that all Major Leases are then in full force and effect without modification.
If within one hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence of any damage or destruction of the Premises requiring Restoration, Borrower fails to request that the Insurance Proceeds be disbursed as above permitted or to submit plans and specifications to American Family for approval, or fails to deposit with American Family the additional amount necessary to accomplish Restoration as provided in this Section; or, if after such plans and specifications are approved by all such government authorities and by American Family, Borrower fails to commence promptly or diligently to continue to completion of Restoration; or, if Borrower becomes delinquent in payment to mechanics, materialmen or others for the costs incurred in connection with Restoration; then in addition to all of the rights herein set forth, and after thirty (30) days written notice of the nonfulfillment of one or more of the foregoing conditions, and Borrower’s failure to remedy such non-fulfillment after a reasonable period to cure, American Family may apply the remaining Restoration Funds then or thereafter held by American Family to reduce the unpaid Indebtedness in such order as American Family may determine, and at American Family’s option American Family may also declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable. Also, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, American Family shall have the right at any time to apply all or any part of any Restoration Funds to the curing of any default under the Loan Documents. In the event that American Family applies all or any portion of Restoration Funds to reduce the unpaid Indebtedness and any Restoration Funds remain after payment in full of all Indebtedness, then such remaining Restoration Funds shall be paid to Borrower. No prepayment premium will be charged for any application of Restoration Funds to the Indebtedness.
32
SECTION 3.5 FORECLOSURE OR ACQUISITION BY AMERICAN FAMILY. In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Deed or any acquisition of the Premises by American Family, all insurance policies and any Insurance Proceeds payable therefrom, whether payable before or after a foreclosure sale, or during the period of redemption, if any, shall become the absolute property of American Family to be utilized as determined by American Family. In the event of foreclosure or a failure by Borrower at any time during the term of the Loan to obtain and keep any required insurance, Borrower empowers American Family to effect insurance upon the Premises at Borrower’s expense and for the benefit of American Family in the amounts and types aforesaid for a period of time covering the time lapse of insurance including lapse during redemption from foreclosure sale, and if necessary, to cancel any or all existing insurance policies.

Any amounts received by or allowed to Borrower upon the sale or other disposition of the removed items of property shall be applied first against the cost of acquisition and installation of the substituted items. Any residual proceeds remaining after acquisition and installation shall be applied to the Indebtedness. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent any Tenant from removing from the Premises trade fixtures, furniture and equipment installed by the Tenant and removable by the Tenant under the terms of its Lease, on the condition, however, that all damages to the Premises resulting from or caused by the removal thereof be repaired at the sole cost of Borrower if such Tenant shall fail to so repair.

(b) Borrower or any Guarantor shall fail to timely make any escrow deposits required under the Loan Documents or other required deposits with American Family or to pay when due any other Indebtedness; or

37
(d) Borrower shall fail to cure any default or defaults with respect to any other loan obligation to American Family or to any loan obligation to any other lender or lenders, institutional or private, prior to the expiration of the stated grace period provided by such lender or lenders for curing the applicable default or defaults; or

SECTION 6.2 AMERICAN FAMILY’S RIGHT TO ACCELERATE; IMPOSITION OF DEFAULT RATE. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire Indebtedness shall, without further notice, become immediately due and payable at the option of American Family. Upon the earlier of: (a) the date on which the Indebtedness is accelerated by American Family, or (b) if no cure period is provided in the Loan Documents for such Event of Default, the date such Event of Default occurs; or (c) if a cure period for such Event of Default is provided in the Loan Documents and such Event of Default is not cured after provision of notice and the applicable opportunity to cure, the date of mailing such notice, the interest rate payable under the Loan Documents shall thereafter increase and shall be payable on the whole of the unpaid principal balance at the Default Rate. Any interest calculated at the Default Rate shall be due and payable immediately without further notice or demand. The interest component of any regularly scheduled payment of principal and interest not paid when due in accordance with the Amortization Schedule shall be deemed so much additional principal and shall bear interest from the due date at the Default Rate. Such increase in the interest rate shall be applicable whether or not American Family has exercised its option to accelerate the maturity of the Note and declare the entire Indebtedness to be due and payable. The Default Rate shall continue until Borrower
38
has cured all defaults as permitted herein or Borrower has paid all Indebtedness in full, whichever shall occur first. This provision shall not be deemed to excuse a default and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights American Family may have, including the right to declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable. Any contrary provision herein notwithstanding, upon an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(c), then the entire Indebtedness shall, without further notice, become immediately due and payable at the option of American Family.
SECTION 6.3 ACCELERATION UPON DEFAULT; ADDITIONAL REMEDIES. At any time during the existence of an Event of Default, American Family, at American Family’s option, may declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without further demand, and may invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by Georgia law or provided in this Security Deed or in any other Loan Document. Borrower acknowledges that the power of sale granted in this Security Deed may be exercised by American Family without prior judicial hearing. American Family shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including attorneys’ fees, and the costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports.
Upon the happening of an Event of Default, then and in addition to (and not to the exclusion of) the rights set forth immediately above:
(a) American Family shall be entitled as a matter of right in any judicial proceedings which are commenced or as may otherwise be permitted by applicable law to have a receiver appointed for American Family’s benefit to take possession, management and control of all of the Premises and of the earnings, income, rents, issues, and profits thereof, during such proceedings, with such other powers as the court making such appointment shall confer. Borrower hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to such appointment.
(b) American Family further may (i) use, operate, manage, and control the Premises or any part thereof, and conduct the business thereof (either itself or by its attorneys and agents) including letting the same, (ii) collect any and all rents, issues, and profits due or to become due, without prejudice of its rights to foreclosure, to appointment of a receiver, and other rights, and (iii) from time to time, either by purchase, repair, or construction, maintain, restore, and insure and keep insured, the buildings, structures, improvements, fixtures, machinery, equipment, and other property constituting a part of or used in connection with the Premises. After paying all of the expenses of operating the Premises, American Family shall apply the moneys arising therefrom to the payment of the amount then due on the Note for interest and principal, with interest on overdue interest and principal at the default rate specified in the Note from the date the same became payable, whether by lapse of time, acceleration, or otherwise.
(c) American Family, at its option, may perform any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this Security Deed or the Note. The cost thereof, with interest at the default rate specified in the Note, immediately shall be due from Borrower to American Family without further demand and shall be secured by this Security Deed.
39
(d) At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, American Family, at American Family’s option, may declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without further demand, and may invoke the power of sale granted in this Security Deed (and Borrower appoints American Family as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact to exercise such power of sale in the name and on behalf of Borrower) and any other remedies permitted by Georgia law or provided in this Security Deed or in any other loan document. Borrower acknowledges that the power of sale granted in this Security Deed may be exercised by American Family without prior judicial hearing. American Family shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports.
American Family may sell and dispose of the Premises at public auction, at the usual place for conducting sales at the courthouse in the county where all or any part of the Premises are located, to the highest bidder for cash, first advertising the time, terms and place of such sale by publishing a notice of sale once a week for four consecutive weeks (without regard to the actual number of days) in a newspaper in which sheriff’s advertisements are published in such county, all other notice being waived by Borrower; and American Family may thereupon execute and deliver to the purchaser a sufficient instrument of conveyance of the Premises in fee simple, which may contain recitals as to the happening of the default upon which the execution of the power of sale granted by this Section depends. The recitals in the instrument of conveyance shall be presumptive evidence that American Family duly complied with all preliminary acts prerequisite to the sale and instrument of conveyance. Borrower constitutes and appoints American Family as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact to make such recitals, sale and conveyance. Borrower ratifies all of American Family’s acts, as such attorney-in-fact, and Borrower agrees that such recitals shall be binding and conclusive upon Borrower and that the conveyance to be made by American Family (and in the event of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, then as to such conveyance) shall be effectual to bar all right, title and interest, equity of redemption, including all statutory redemption, homestead, dower, curtsey and all other exemptions of Borrower, or its successors in interest, in and to the Premises.
The Premises may be sold in one parcel and as an entirety, or in such parcels, manner or order as American Family, in its discretion, may elect, and one or more exercises of the powers granted in this Section shall not extinguish or exhaust the power unless the entire Premises is sold or the Indebtedness is paid in full, and American Family shall collect the proceeds of such sale, applying such proceeds as provided in this Section. In the event of a deficiency, Borrower shall immediately on demand from American Family pay such deficiency to American Family. Borrower acknowledges that American Family may bid for and purchase the Premises at any foreclosure sale and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Indebtedness as a credit to the purchase price. Borrower covenants and agrees that American Family shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the following order: (a) to all reasonable costs and expenses of the sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of title evidence; (b) to the obligations secured hereby in such order as American Family, in American Family’s discretion, directs; and (c) the excess, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled to the excess. The power and agency granted in this Section 6.3 are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable by death or otherwise and are in addition to the remedies for collection of the indebtedness secured hereby as provided by law.
40
If the Premises are sold pursuant to this Section 6.3, Borrower, or any person holding possession of the Premises through Borrower, shall surrender possession of the Premises to the purchaser at such sale on demand. If possession is not surrendered on demand, Borrower or such person shall be a tenant holding over and may be dispossessed in accordance with Georgia law.
(e) In case it becomes necessary for American Family to commence proceedings to foreclose this Security Deed or to commence any other suit in equity, action at law, or other appropriate proceeding, or to enforce its rights under this Security Deed or the Note, Borrower agrees to pay to American Family all costs of such suit, action, or proceeding as well as all expenses incurred in procuring and continuing title insurance and the reasonable fees of American Family’s attorneys (including Georgia special counsel) in connection therewith, which costs and fees shall be included in the judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding.
(f) No remedy herein conferred upon or otherwise available to American Family is intended to be or shall be construed to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies; but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default, or an acquiescence therein. Borrower hereby waives any rights available with respect to marshalling of assets so as to require the separate sales of any portion of the Premises before proceeding against the other and does hereby expressly consent to and authorize the sale of the Premises or any part thereof as a single unit or parcel. Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to insist upon, plead, or in any manner take advantage of, any stay, extension, homestead, marshalling or moratorium law or any law providing for the valuation or appraisement of all or any part of the Premises prior to any sale or sales thereof under any provision of this Security Deed or before or after any decree, judgment or order of any court or confirmation thereof, or claim or exercise any right to redeem all or any part of the Premises so sold and hereby expressly waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law on behalf of itself and each and every person or entity acquiring any right, title or interest in or to all or any part of the Premises, all benefit and advantage of any such laws which would otherwise be available to Borrower or any such person or entity, and agrees that neither Borrower nor any such person or entity will invoke or utilize any such law to otherwise hinder, delay or impede the exercise of any remedy granted or delegated to American Family herein but will permit the exercise of such remedy as though any such laws had not been enacted. Borrower hereby further expressly waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law on behalf of itself and each and every person or entity acquiring any right, title or interest in or to all or any part of the Premises any and all rights of redemption from any sale or any order or decree of foreclosure obtained pursuant to provisions of this Security Deed.
(g) All rents and revenues collected subsequent to delivery of written notice by American Family to Borrower of the breach by Borrower of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this Security Deed shall be applied first to the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Premises and collecting the rents, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, receivers’ fees, premiums on receivers’ bonds, costs of repairs to the Premises, premiums on insurance policies, taxes, assessments and other charges on the Premises, and the costs of
41
discharging any obligation or liability of Borrower as lessor or landlord of the Premises and then to the sums secured by this Security Deed. American Family or the receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of the Premises and shall be liable to account only for those rents actually received. American Family shall not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or through Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Premises by reason of anything done or left undone by American Family under this Section 6.3.
(h) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that Borrower will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any present or future law providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, homestead, moratorium, reinstatement, marshalling or forbearance, and Borrower, for Borrower, Borrower’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Premises, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, reinstatement (including all rights under O.C.G.A. Section 44-14-85), notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the Indebtedness, and all rights to a marshaling of assets of Borrower, including the Premises.
SECTION 6.4 RIGHTS UNDER UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE. American Family shall also have all the rights, remedies and recourse available to a secured party under the Code including the right to proceed under the provisions of the Code governing default as to any Collateral, American Family shall have no liability for funds not actually received by American Family.
SECTION 6.5 RIGHT TO DISCONTINUE PROCEEDINGS. In the event American Family shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under this Security Deed or any other Loan Document and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, American Family shall have the unqualified right to do so and in such event Borrower and American Family shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness. This Security Deed, the other Loan Documents, the Premises and all rights, remedies and recourse of American Family shall continue as if the same had not been invoked.
ARTICLE 7
RIGHTS OF AMERICAN FAMILY
SECTION 7.1 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT. If Borrower shall fail to comply with any of the covenants or obligations under any of the Loan Documents and such failure continues beyond any applicable opportunity to cure period, American Family may, but shall not be obligated to, without further demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any obligation incorporated in any of the Loan Documents, remedy such failure. Borrower agrees to repay upon request all sums incurred by American Family in remedying any such failure, which sums shall be deemed Recoverable Costs. No such advance shall be deemed to relieve Borrower from any failure hereunder.
42
SECTION 7.2 NO CLAIM AGAINST AMERICAN FAMILY. Nothing contained in any of the Loan Documents shall constitute any consent or request by American Family, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or for the furnishing of any materials or other property with respect to the Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving Borrower or any party in interest with Borrower any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would create any personal liability against American Family with respect thereto or which would permit the making of any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien of this Security Deed.
SECTION 7.3 INSPECTION. Borrower shall permit American Family’s authorized representatives upon reasonable advance notice to enter the Premises at reasonable times during normal business hours and subject to the rights of tenants under leases for the purpose of inspecting the same. American Family, however, shall have no duty to make such inspections and shall not incur any liability or obligation for making or not making any such inspections.
SECTION 7.4 RIGHTS CUMULATIVE. Each right, power or remedy conferred in any of the Loan Documents upon American Family is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied, now or hereafter arising, available to American Family, at law or in equity, or under the Code, or under any other agreement, and each and every right, power and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so existing may be exercised from time to time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by American Family and shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise, concurrently or at any time thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by American Family in the exercise of any right, power or remedy arising hereunder or arising otherwise shall impair any such right, power or remedy or the right of American Family to resort thereto at a later date or be construed to be a waiver of an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 7.5 SUBSEQUENT AGREEMENTS. Any agreement hereafter made by Borrower and American Family pursuant to this Security Deed shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening Lien or encumbrance.
SECTION 7.6 WAIVER OF MARSHALING; OTHER WAIVERS. Borrower waives, to the full extent lawfully allowed, the benefit of any stay and extension laws now or hereafter in force. Borrower waives any rights available with respect to marshaling of assets so as to require the separate sales of any portion of the Premises, or as to
43
require American Family to exhaust its remedies against a specific portion of the Premises before proceeding against any other and does expressly consent to and authorize sale of the Premises or any part thereof as a single unit or parcel.
SECTION 7.7 BUSINESS LOAN REPRESENTATION. Borrower represents and warrants to American Family that the Loan evidenced by the Note is a business loan transacted solely for the purpose of carrying on the business of Borrower.
SECTION 7.8 LEGAL LIMITS OF THE INDEBTEDNESS. All agreements between Borrower and American Family are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the Indebtedness or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to American Family for the use, forbearance, loaning or retention of the Indebtedness exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provisions of any of the Loan Documents shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limit of such validity. If, from any circumstances, American Family should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful interest rate, such amount which would be in excess of such highest lawful interest rate shall be applied to reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between American Family and Borrower and shall also be binding upon and available to any subsequent assignee of this Security Deed.
