If Borrower fails to make such prompt payment or if, in the opinion of Lender, any such state, federal, municipal, or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation prohibits Borrower from making such payment or would penalize Lender if Borrower makes such payment or if, in the opinion of Lender, the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, then the entire balance of the Indebtedness shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable.

(b) Insurance Companies, Form of Policies. All insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Paragraph 4.9 must be issued by insurance companies and agencies licensed by the Georgia Insurance Commissioner, having a rating of A- or better (Excellent or Superior) and Class IX or better in A.M. Best’s Insurance Reports, and otherwise acceptable to Lender. All such policies shall require not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender of any cancellation, termination, expiration or change in coverage. Without limiting the discretion of Lender with respect to required endorsements to insurance policies, all such policies for loss of or damage to the Mortgaged Property shall contain a standard mortgagee clause (without contribution) naming Lender as mortgagee with loss proceeds payable to Lender notwithstanding (i) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in any such policy by any named insured; (ii) the occupation or use of the Mortgaged Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of any such policy; (iii) any foreclosure or other action by Lender under the Loan Documents; or (iv) any change in title to or ownership of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, such proceeds to be held for application as provided in the Loan Documents.

Borrower shall deliver to Lender receipts evidencing the payment for all such insurance policies and renewals or replacements. The delivery of any insurance policies hereunder shall constitute a collateral assignment of all unearned premiums as further security hereunder. In the event of foreclosure of this Security Deed or any other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the Indebtedness, all right, title, and interest of Borrower in and to all insurance policies then in force with respect to the Mortgaged Property shall pass to the purchaser or Lender.
(d) Borrower’s Statement of Insurance Carried. Borrower shall furnish to Lender on or before thirty (30) days after the close of each of Borrower’s fiscal year, a statement certified by Borrower or a duly authorized officer of Borrower of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance with this Paragraph 3.19, of the risks covered by such insurance, and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance.
(e) Payment of Proceeds to Lender: Minor Loss. Lender is hereby authorized and empowered, at its option, to adjust or compromise any loss under any insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Paragraph 3.19 and to collect and receive the proceeds from any such policy or policies; provided however, in the event of a “Minor Loss” (being defined as a loss equal to or less than $25,000.00, if the loan secured hereby is $10,000,000.00 or less, or a loss equal to or less than $50,000.00, if the loan secured hereby is more than $10,000,000.00), Borrower shall give Lender written notice of such loss but shall retain all rights to adjust and compromise such loss with Borrower’s insurance company, to collect and receive the proceeds with respect thereto, and to apply the same to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property.
11
Borrower hereby authorizes and directs each insurance company to make payment for all losses, excepting only Minor Losses, directly to Lender. Except in the case of a minor Loss, in the event any insurance company fails to disburse directly and solely to Lender but disburses instead either solely to Borrower or to Borrower and Lender jointly, Borrower agrees immediately to endorse and transfer such proceeds to Lender. Upon the failure of Borrower to endorse and transfer such proceeds as aforesaid, Lender may execute such endorsements or transfers for and in the name of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact to do so, such appointment being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable.
(f) Application of Proceeds. In the case of any loss which is not a Minor Loss, after deducting from said insurance proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, Lender may apply the net proceeds or any part thereof, at its option:
(i) to the payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not due and in whatever order Lender elects; |
(ii) to the repair or restoration of the Mortgaged Property; or |
(iii) for any other purposes or objects for which Lender is entitled to advance funds under the Loan Documents; |
all without affecting the security title of this Security Deed, and any balance of such moneys then remaining shall be paid to Borrower.

3.21 Disbursement of Proceeds for Repairs. Intentionally Deleted.
3.22 Inspection. Borrower shall permit Lender and its agents, representatives and employees to inspect the Mortgaged Property at all reasonable times.
3.23 Hold Harmless. Borrower shall defend, at its own cost and expense, and hold Lender harmless from any action, proceeding or claim affecting the Mortgaged Property or the Loan Documents, and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in protecting its interests hereunder in such an event (including all court costs and attorneys’ fees) shall be borne by Borrower and secured hereby.
3.24 Books and Records. Borrower shall maintain full and accurate books of account and other records reflecting its financial condition and the results of its operations of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender, the following information and reports:
(a) As to Borrower:
(i) within 90 days after the end of each calendar year, current Borrower certified financial statements (annual balance sheet, an income statement and a statement of cash flows) which must be certified to Wachovia Bank, National Association; and |
12
(ii) within 60 days after the close of each calendar quarter a copy of its current financial statements as prepared for such reporting period by its General Partner, signed by an authorized officer of General Partner and certified by such officer to be true, correct and complete. |
(b) If the Lender requests such information, Borrower, at its cost and expense, shall furnish to Lender an income and expense statement of the operation of the Mortgaged Property. Such statement shall show the total minimum annual rent, total gross receipts from operations and total expenses in detail satisfactory to the Lender.
(c) Borrower shall furnish to the Lender then-current signed rent rolls or lease digests certified by Borrower to be true, correct and complete, if the Lender requests such information.
(d) Borrower shall advise Lender of Borrower’s respective fiscal year-end dates and shall notify Lender, in writing, of any change in such year-end dates.
At Lender’s option, the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 3.24 shall be certified by an officer of General Partner. At any time and from time to time, Borrower shall deliver to Lender such other financial data as Lender shall reasonably request with respect to the ownership, maintenance, use and operation of the Mortgaged Property, and Lender shall have the right, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to audit, examine and make copies or extracts of Borrower’s books of account and records relating to the Mortgaged Property, all of which shall be maintained and made available to Lender and Lender’s representatives for such purpose at the address specified herein for Borrower or at such other location as Lender may approve. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall also furnish Lender with convenient facilities necessary for an audit of such statements. If Borrower is a partnership, joint venture, trust or other type of business association, Borrower shall provide Lender with any and all financial statements and other documents and make any and all disclosures to Lender with respect to any of the parties comprising Borrower as Borrower is required to provide and make, and in the manner required to be provided and made, with respect to Borrower pursuant to this Paragraph 3.24.
3.25 Tax and Insurance Escrow. At Lender’s option after any Event of Default or Default Condition, in order to implement the provisions of Paragraphs 3.17 and 3.19 hereinabove, Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly, annually, or as otherwise directed by Lender, an amount (“Escrowed Sums”) equal to the sum of (a) the annual Impositions (estimated by Lender, wherever necessary) to become due for the tax year during which such payment is so directed and (b) the insurance premiums for the same year for those insurance policies as are required hereunder. If Lender determines that any amounts theretofore paid by Borrower are insufficient for the payment in full of such Impositions and insurance premiums, Lender shall notify Borrower of the increased amounts required to provide a sufficient fund, whereupon Borrower shall pay to Lender within thirty (30) days thereafter the additional amount as stated in Lender’s notice. The Escrowed Sums may be held by Lender in non-interest bearing accounts and may be commingled with Lender’s other funds. Upon assignment of this Security Deed, Lender shall have the right to pay over the balance of the Escrowed Sums then in its possession to its assignee whereupon the Lender shall then become completely released from all liability with respect thereto. Within ninety-five (95) days following the full payment of the Indebtedness (other than a full payment of the Indebtedness as a consequence of a foreclosure or conveyance
13
in lieu of foreclosure of the liens and security title securing the Indebtedness) or at such earlier time as Lender may elect, the balance of the Escrowed Sums in its possession shall be paid over to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, the Escrowed Sums shall, at the option of Lender, be repaid to Borrower in sufficient time to allow Borrower to satisfy Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents to pay the Impositions and the required insurance premiums or be paid directly to the Governmental Authority and the insurance company entitled thereto. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, however, Lender shall have the additional option of crediting the full amount of the Escrowed Sums against the Indebtedness.
3.26 Notice of Default. Borrower shall notify Lender of(a) any condition that would constitute a default or Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (b) any litigation or proceeding that is brought against Borrower or the Mortgaged Property and that has a stated claim of $100,000.00 or more, and (c) any material adverse change in the business, properties or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
3.27 Estoppel Certificate. Borrower shall, from time to time, within ten (10) days after Lender’s request, furnish Lender or any other person or entity designated by Lender, an affidavit or certificate in a form satisfactory to Lender which shall:
(i) indicate the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest on the Note; |
(ii) acknowledge either that Borrower is not in default of the terms and conditions of the Note and the Loan Documents or that a default exists, in which case, any defaults shall be described in detail; and |
(iii) state that Borrower has no defense, right of set-off or counterclaim to the payment of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, or the performance of any obligation (or describing any such defense, set off, or counterclaim). |

To the extent that Lender determines that the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property is adequate to secure the Indebtedness, the proceeds will be held and applied as provided on the conditions set forth in subparagraph (d) below.

The proceeds of any such condemnation award or proceeds or any part thereof may be applied by Lender to the Indebtedness, whether or not due and in such order as Lender elects; provided that subject to the provisions of subparagraph (a) above, such proceeds shall be applied to restoration of the property taken if the following conditions are met:

15
(vi) Borrower Presents sufficient evidence to Lender that the Mortgaged Property will be restored to an architectural whole prior to the maturity of the Note; |
(vii) Lender will not incur any liability to any other person as a result of such use or release of proceeds; |
Lender shall hold and disburse the condemnation award or proceeds as restoration progresses subject to the conditions of Lender’s standard construction loan agreement.
(e) Further Assignment. Borrower agrees to execute such further assignments of any compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds as Lender may require. If, prior to the receipt by Lender of such award or proceeds, the Mortgaged Property shall have been bid on foreclosure of this Security Deed, Lender shall have the right to receive such award or proceeds to the extent of any unpaid Indebtedness following such sale, with legal interest thereon, whether or not a deficiency judgment on this Security Deed or the Note shall have been sought or recovered, and to the extent of attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of such award or proceeds. If Borrower fails to assign such compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action, and proceeds as aforesaid, Lender may execute such endorsements or transfers for and in the name of Borrower and Borrower hereby appoints Lender as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact so to do, such appointment being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable.

(a) Acceleration. Declare the then unpaid principal balance on the Note, the accrued interest and any other accrued but unpaid portion of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, without further notice, presentment, protest, demand or action of any nature whatsoever (each of which hereby is expressly waived by Borrower), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable, time being of the essence in this Security Deed.
(b) Termination of License.
(i) Terminate the License granted to Borrower in Paragraph 8.3 hereof and exercise the rights, powers and privileges of landlord under the Leases, and then and thereafter, with or without taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, in Borrower’s own name, demand, collect, receive, xxx for, attach and levy on the Rents (including demand for Rents collected for the period in which the demand occurs) and give proper receipts, releases and acquittances therefor.
(ii) Deliver a written demand to any Tenant for payment of Rents, which demand shall be sufficient evidence of each such Tenant’s obligation and authority to make all future payments of Rents to Lender without the necessity for further consent by the Borrower. Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold each Tenant free and harmless from and against all liability, loss, cost, damage or expense suffered or incurred by such Tenant by reason of its compliance with any demand for payment of Rents made by Lender contemplated by the preceding sentence. Borrower, for itself and its agents, covenants and agrees not to countermand any such written demand to Tenants for payment of Rents.
19
(c) Entry on Mortgaged Property:
(i) Demand that Borrower shall forthwith surrender to Lender the actual possession of the Mortgaged Property, and to the extent permitted by law, enter and take possession of all of the Mortgaged Property without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, and exclude Borrower and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and have joint access with Borrower to the books, papers and accounts of Borrower.
(ii) If Borrower shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof after such demand by Lender, Lender may seek a judgment or decree conferring upon Lender the right to immediate possession or requiring Borrower to deliver immediate possession of the Mortgaged Property to Lender, and Borrower hereby specifically covenants and agrees that Borrower shall not oppose, contest or otherwise hinder or delay Lender in any action or proceeding by Lender to obtain such judgment or decree. Borrower shall pay to Lender, upon demand, all expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to Lender, its attorneys and agents, and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, become part of the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Security Deed.
(iii) Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Lender may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business thereof, and, from time to time, (A) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property, (B) insure or keep the Mortgaged Property insured, (C) manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and exercise all the rights and powers of Borrower to the same extent Borrower could in its own name or otherwise act with respect to the same, and (D) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted to Lender, all as Lender from time to time may determine to be in its best interest. Anything in this Security Deed to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender shall not be obligated to discharge or perform the duties of the landlord to any Tenant or incur any liability as the result of any exercise by Lender of its rights under this Security Deed, and Lender shall be liable to account only for the Rents actually received by Lender.
(iv) Make, modify, enforce, cancel or accept surrender of any Lease, remove and evict any Tenant, increase or decrease Rents under any Lease, appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Mortgaged Property, and perform and discharge each and every obligation, covenant and agreement of Borrower contained in any Lease, whether or not Lender takes possession of the Mortgaged Property.
(v) Neither the entering upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, nor the collection of any Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall cure or waive any Event of Default theretofore or thereafter occurring, or affect any notice of an Event of Default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or through Borrower, or anyone having an interest in the Mortgaged Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 6.1(c) shall require Lender to incur any expense or do any act. If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged
20
Property and/or collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender secured by this Security Deed. Such amounts, together with interest at the Default Rate under the Note and attorneys’ fees, if applicable, shall be immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding Lender’s continuance in possession or receipt and application of Rents, Lender shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Security Deed or by law upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Any of the actions referred to in this Paragraph 6. 1 (c) may be taken by Lender at such time as Lender is so entitled, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Indebtedness hereby secured.
(vi) In the event that all interest, deposits and principal installments and other sums due under any of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of this Security Deed and the other Loan Documents shall be paid and all Events of Default shall be cured, and as a result thereof Lender surrenders possession of the Mortgaged Property to Borrower, the same right herein given to Lender shall continue to exist if any subsequent Events of Default shall occur.
(d) Foreclosure and Sale. Sell the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof at one or more public sales before the door of the courthouse of the county in which the Property or any part of the Property is situated, without notice except as required or set forth herein, to the highest bidder for cash, in order to pay the Indebtedness, and all expenses of sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale once a week for four (4) weeks immediately preceding such sale (but without regard to the number of days) in a newspaper in which Sheriff’s sales are advertised in said county. At any such public sale, Lender may execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales a conveyance of the Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple, with full warranties of title, and to this end Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest Borrower of all right, title and equity that Borrower may have in and to the Mortgaged Property and to vest the same in the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales; and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Borrower. The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise, are granted as cumulative of the other remedies provided hereby or by law for collection of the Indebtedness, and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof but may be exercised until full payment of all of the Indebtedness. In the event of any sale under this Security Deed by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceedings or otherwise, the Mortgaged Property may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Lender in its sole discretion may elect, and if Lender so elects, Lender may sell the Personalty covered by this Security Deed at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Georgia, and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish nor exhaust such powers, until the entire Mortgaged Property is sold or the Indebtedness is paid in full. If the Indebtedness is now or hereafter further secured by any chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments of lease or other security instruments, Lender may at its option exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security instruments, either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Lender may determine.
21
Lender, may, in addition to and not in abrogation of the rights covered under the immediately preceding subparagraph, or elsewhere in this Article VI, either with or without entry or taking possession as herein provided or otherwise, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to enforce payment of the Note or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Security Deed or any other right and (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to it, all as Lender at its sole discretion shall elect.
(e) Receiver: Lender, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of strict right, without notice and without regard to the adequacy or value of any security for the Indebtedness or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Mortgaged Property and to collect and apply the incomes, rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of Georgia. Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand all expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorneys’ fees, costs and agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 6.1(e), and any such amounts paid by Lender shall be added to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Security Deed.
(f) Performance by Lender. Pay, perform or observe any term, covenant or condition of this Security Deed not paid, performed or observed by Borrower, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate provided in the Note. Lender shall be the sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Lender is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Borrower or any person in possession holding under Borrower.
(g) Relief. From Automatic Stay In the event that Borrower is the subject of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, reorganization, or similar proceeding, federal or state, voluntary or involuntary, under any present or future law or act, Lender shall be entitled to relief from the automatic stay as to the enforcement of its remedies under the Loan Documents against the Mortgaged Property, including specifically, but not limited to, the stay imposed by 11 U.S.C., Section 362, as amended, and Borrower hereby consents to the immediate lifting of any such automatic stay and will not contest any motion by Lender to lift such stay. Borrower expressly acknowledges that (i) the Mortgaged Property is not now and will never be necessary to any plan of reorganization of any type, and (ii) no reorganization of Borrower’s business is possible or feasible.
(h) Other: Exercise any and all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, those set forth in Articles VII, VIII and IX hereinbelow) or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise.
6.2 Separate Sales. The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect, it being expressly understood and agreed that the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

ARTICLE VIII. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
8.1 Assignment. For and in consideration of the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), and other good and valuable consideration, including the Indebtedness, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to secure the full and timely payment of the Indebtedness and the full and timely performance and discharge of the Obligations, Borrower has GRANTED, BARGAINED, SOLD, CONVEYED, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, SET OVER and DELIVERED, and by these, presents does hereby GRANT, BARGAIN, SELL, CONVEY, ASSIGN, TRANSFER, SET OVER and DELIVER absolutely unto Lender the Leases (whether now existing or entered into after the date hereof) and the Rents, subject only to the hereinafter described License, TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Leases and the Rents unto Lender, its successors and assigns, forever, and Borrower does hereby bind itself, its successors and assigns to WARRANT and FOREVER DEFEND the title to the Leases and the Rents unto Lender against every person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, power and privilege (but shall be under no duty) to demand possession of the Rents, which demand shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be sufficient action by Lender to entitle Lender to immediate and direct payment of the Rents (including delivery to Lender of Rents collected for the period in which the demand occurs and for any subsequent period), for application as provided herein, all without the necessity of any further action by Lender, including, without limitation, any action to obtain possession of the Improvements or the Property. Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the tenants under the Leases to pay Rents to Lender upon written demand by Lender, without further consent of Borrower, without any obligation to determine whether an Event of Default has in fact occurred and regardless of whether Lender has taken possession of any portion of the Property, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement delivered by Lender to the tenants. Any such payment to Lender shall constitute payment to Borrower under the Leases, and Borrower hereby appoints Lender as Borrower’s lawful attorney-in-fact for giving, and Lender is hereby empowered to give, acquittances to any tenants for such payments to Lender after a default.
8.2 Continuation and Termination of Assignment. If Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid the Indebtedness as and when same shall become due and payable and shall perform and discharge or cause to be performed and discharged the Obligations on or before the date the same are to be performed and discharged, then this assignment shall thereupon be terminated and of no further force and effect, and all rights, titles and interests conveyed pursuant to this assignment shall become revested in Borrower without the necessity of any further act or requirement by Borrower or Lender; provided, however, the affidavit, certificate, letter or statement of any officer of Lender stating that any part of the Indebtedness or the Obligations remains unpaid and undischarged shall be and constitute conclusive evidence of the validity, effectiveness or continuing force of the within assignment, and any person, firm or corporation may, and is hereby authorized to, rely thereon.
8.3 Limited License. Provided that there exists no Event of Default hereunder or under or in any Loan Document, Borrower shall have the right under a limited license granted hereby, and Lender hereby grants to Borrower a limited license (the “License”), to collect upon, but not prior to accrual, all of the Rents arising from or out of the Leases, or any renewals or extensions thereof, or from or out of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and Borrower shall receive such Rents and hold the same, as well as the right and license to receive such Rents,
28
as a trust fund to be applied, and Borrower hereby covenants to apply the Rents, to the payment of interest and principal becoming due on account of the Indebtedness, to the satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations, including specifically, but without limitation, to the payment of taxes and assessments upon the Mortgaged Property before payment of penalty or interest are due thereon, to the cost of such insurance, maintenance and repairs as may be required by the terms of this Security Deed and in satisfaction of all obligations under the Leases, all prior to the application by Borrower of the Rents for any other purposes.
8.4 Borrower’s Indenmities. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Lender free and harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or expense which Lender may incur under or by reason of this assignment, or for any action taken by the Lender hereunder, or by reason or in defense of any and all claims and demands whatsoever which maybe asserted against Lender arising out of the Leases, including specifically, but without limitation, any claim by any Tenant of credit for Rents paid to and received by Borrower, but not delivered to Lender, for any period under any Lease more than one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof. In the event Lender incurs any such liability, loss, cost, damage or expense, the amount thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, with interest thereon at the Default Rate specified in the Note, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender immediately, without demand, and shall be secured hereby and by all other Loan Documents.
8.5 Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby further constitutes and appoints Lender the true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, of the Borrower, and in the name, place and stead of said Borrower, to subject and subordinate at any time and from time to time any Lease or any part thereof to the lien and security title of the Security Deed or any other mortgage, security deed, deed of trust or security agreement on or to any ground lease of the Mortgaged Property, or to request or require such subordination, where such reservation, option or authority was reserved to the Borrower under any such Lease, or in any case where the Borrower otherwise would have the right, power or privilege so to do. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing, and such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Lender, its successors and assigns so long as any part of the Indebtedness or the Obligations secured hereby remains unpaid and undischarged, and Borrower hereby warrants that Borrower has not at any time prior to the date hereof exercised any such rights, and Borrower hereby covenants not to exercise any such right, to subordinate any such Lease to the lien of this Security Deed or to any other security deed, mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement or to any ground lease.
8.6 Exculpation of Lender. The acceptance by Lender of this assignment of the Leases and Rents, with all of the rights, powers, privileges and authority created hereby shall not, prior to entry upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property by Lender, be deemed or construed to constitute Lender a “mortgagee in possession”, nor thereafter or at any time or in any event obligate the Lender to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Leases, the Rents or the Mortgaged Property or to take any action hereunder or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease or to assume any obligation or responsibility for any security deposits or other deposits delivered to Borrower by any Tenant and not assigned and delivered to Lender, nor shall Lender be liable in any way for any injury or damage to persons or property sustained by any person or persons, firm or corporation in or about the Mortgaged Property.

In addition, Borrower recognizes and agrees that formal written appraisals of the Mortgaged Property by a licensed independent appraiser may be required by federal regulatory reporting requirements on an annual or specialized basis. Except to the extent that certain of these costs and expenses are included within the definition of Indebtedness, the payment by Borrower of any of these costs and expenses shall not be credited, in any way or to any extent, against any portion of the Indebtedness. If any of the services described in this Paragraph 9.1 are provided by an employee of Lender, Borrower shall reimburse Lender its standard charge for such services.
9.2 Survival of Obligations. Each and all of the Obligations shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and the consummation of the loan called for therein, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full; provided however, that nothing contained in this Paragraph 9.2 shall limit the obligations of Borrower as set forth in Paragraphs 3.6, 3.23 and 8.4 herein.
9.3 Further Assurances. Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge, deliver and record or file, as appropriate, such further instruments and do such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of the Loan Documents and to subject to the liens and security interests thereof any property intended by the terms thereof to be covered thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, betterments or appurtenances to the Mortgaged Property.
9.4 Recording and Filing. Borrower shall cause the Loan Documents and all amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions therefor to be recorded, filed, re-recorded and refiled in such manner and in such places as Lender shall reasonably request and shall pay all such recording, filing, re-recording and refiling taxes, fees and other charges.

Notice so mailed shall be effective two (2) days after its deposit. Notice given in any other

manner shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee or receipt is refused. For purposes of notice, the addresses of the parties shall be as set forth in the first paragraph of this Security Deed; provided, however, that either party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by the giving of thirty (30) days’ notice to the other party in the manner set forth hereinabove.
9.6 No Waiver. Any failure by Lender to insist, or any election by Lender not to insist, upon strict performance by Borrower of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same or of any other term, provision or condition thereof, and Lender shall have the right at any time or times thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Borrower of any and all such terms, provisions and conditions. No delay or omission by Lender, or by any holder of the Note, to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any breach or Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or Event of Default, or acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy given by this Security Deed to Lender may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Lender. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Lender to or of any breach or Event of Default by Borrower in the performance of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder or to any other Event of Default shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or Event of Default in the performance of the same or any other Obligations of Borrower hereunder. Failure on the part of Lender to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers, or remedies of Lender hereunder.
No act or omission by Lender shall release, discharge, modify, change or otherwise affect the original liability under the Note, this Security Deed or any other Obligations of Borrower or any subsequent purchaser of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any maker, cosigner, endorser, surety, or preclude Lender from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any Event of Default then made or by any subsequent Event of Default, or alter the security title, security interest or lien of this Security Deed, except as expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may:
(a) grant forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness;

(c) waive or fail to exercise any right granted hereunder or in the Note;
(d) change any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Note or this Security Deed;

(h) take or omit to take any action whatsoever with respect to the Note, this Security Deed, the Mortgaged Property or any document or instrument evidencing, securing or in- any way relating to the Indebtedness;
all without releasing, discharging, modifying, changing or affecting any such liability, or precluding Lender from exercising any such right, power or privilege, or affecting the security title, security interest or lien of this Security Deed. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, Lender, without notice, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Mortgaged Property or the Indebtedness, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.
9.7 Lender’s Right to Perform the Obligations. If Borrower shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Loan Documents, then at any time thereafter, and without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Lender may have because of same, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Borrower, and shall have the right to enter the Property and Improvements for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the Mortgaged Property as it may deem necessary or appropriate. If Lender shall elect to pay any Imposition or other sums due with reference to the Mortgaged Property, Lender may do so in reliance on any xxxx, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate Governmental Authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same. Borrower shall indemnify Lender for all losses, expenses, damages, claims and causes of action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 9.7 or by reason of any other provision in the Loan Documents. All sums paid by Lender pursuant to this Paragraph 9.7, and all other sums expended by Lender to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date of such payment or expenditure, shall constitute additions to the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the liens, security titles, security interests and rights created by the Loan Documents and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand.
9.8 Covenants Running with the Land. All obligations contained in the Loan Documents are intended by the parties to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Mortgaged Property.
9.9 Successors and Assigns. All of the terms of the Loan Documents shall apply to, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties thereto, their successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives, and all other persons claiming by, through or under them.
32
9.10 Severability. The Loan Documents are intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable Legal Requirements. If any provision of any of the Loan Documents or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, then neither the remainder of the instrument in which such provision is contained nor the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances nor the other instruments referred to hereinabove shall be affected thereby, but rather, shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
9.11 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Security Deed and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and all prior agreements relative thereto which are not contained herein or therein are terminated. The Loan Documents may not be amended, revised, waived, discharged, released or terminated orally, but only by a written instrument or instruments executed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.
9.12 Assignment. This Security Deed is assignable by Lender and any assignment hereof by Lender shall operate to vest in the assignee all rights and powers herein conferred upon and granted to Lender.
9.13 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of Borrower under this Security Deed, the Note and any and all other Loan Documents.
9.14 Counterparts. This Security Deed may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one instrument.
9.15 Applicable Law. This Security Deed shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Georgia from time to time in effect, except that United States federal law shall govern to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge or receive a greater amount of interest, and also giving effect to all other United States federal laws applicable to national banks. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with applicable law now or hereafter governing the interest payable on the Note or-the loan evidenced thereby. If the applicable law is ever revised, repealed or judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or under any of the Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Indebtedness or the Obligations, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note or if any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid Any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender be credited on the principal balance of the Note (or, if the Note and all other Indebtedness or the obligations have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note and the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid by Borrower to
33
Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such Indebtedness does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as any Indebtedness is outstanding.
9.16 Subrogation.

9.19 Inspection Fee. Following completion of any Improvements, in furtherance of Lender’s rights hereunder, Lender may, at its option, require an inspection of the Mortgaged Property, by an agent of Lender or any other party contracted by Lender.
