|
(a) Pari Passu Agent’s Power of Enforcement. The Pari Passu Agent may immediately foreclose this Mortgage by judicial action. In the event of public sale, the Mortgaged Property may be sold as a whole or in parcels at the option of Pari Passu Agent. The court in which any proceeding is pending for the purpose of foreclosure of this Mortgage may, at once or at any time thereafter, either before or after sale, without notice and without requiring bond, and without regard to the solvency or insolvency of any person liable for payment of the Obligations Secured, and without regard to the then value of the Mortgaged Property or the occupancy thereof as a homestead, appoint a receiver (the provisions for the appointment of a receiver and assignment of rents being an express condition upon which the loans and other financial accommodations hereby secured are made) for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with power to collect the Rents, due and to become due, during such foreclosure suit and the full statutory period of redemption notwithstanding any redemption. The receiver, out of the Rents when collected, may pay reasonable costs incurred in the management and operation of the Real Property, prior and subordinate liens, if any, and taxes, assessments, water and other utilities and insurance, then due or thereafter accruing, and may make and pay for any necessary repairs to the Real Property, and may pay any part of the Obligations Secured in accordance with the ABL Loan Documents (subject to the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement), or any deficiency decree entered in such foreclosure proceeding. Upon or at any time after the filing of a suit to foreclose this Mortgage, the court in which such suit is filed shall have full power to enter an order placing the Pari Passu Agent in possession of the Real Property with the same power granted to a receiver pursuant to this clause (a) and with all other rights and privileges of a mortgagee-in-possession under applicable law. |
|
(b) Pari Passu Agent’s Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and Apply Income. The Pari Passu Agent shall, at the direction of ABL Controlling Agent or at its option, have the right, acting through its agents or attorneys or a receiver, with process of law, to enter upon and take possession of the Real Property, to expel and remove any persons, goods or chattels occupying or upon the same, to collect or receive all the Rents, to manage and control the Real Property, to lease the Real Property or any part thereof, from time to time, and, after deducting all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of outside counsel, and all reasonable expenses incurred in the protection, care, maintenance, management and operation of the Real Property, to distribute and apply the remaining net income in such order and to such of the Obligations Secured in accordance with the ABL Loan Documents (subject to the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement) or any deficiency decree entered in any foreclosure proceeding. |
|
(c) Appointment of a Receiver. At any time after the commencement of an action in foreclosure, or during the period of redemption, Mortgagor waives its right to possession of the Mortgaged Property and agrees that the court having jurisdiction of the case shall, at Pari Passu Agent’s request, appoint a receiver to take immediate possession of the Rents and the other Mortgaged Property, and to rent the Mortgaged Property as such receiver may deem best for the interest of all interested parties. For purposes of this Mortgage, the term “Rent” also includes “profits” and “issues.” Such receiver shall be liable to account to Mortgagor only for the net
10 |
profits, after application of Rents to the costs and expenses of the receivership and foreclosure and to the Obligations Secured. |
|
Section 4.2 Application of Rents or Proceeds from Foreclosure or Sale |
. All proceeds of any foreclosure of this Mortgage by judicial action in any court (and any decree for sale shall provide that such proceeds shall) be applied as follows:

All Costs and Expenses shall become additional Obligations Secured when paid or incurred by the Pari Passu Agent in connection with any proceeding, including any bankruptcy proceeding, to which any Secured Party shall be a party, either as plaintiff, claimant or defendant, by reason of this Mortgage or any indebtedness hereby secured or in connection with the preparations for the commencement of any suit for the foreclosure, whether or not actually commenced, or if permitted by applicable law, any sale by advertisement. |
|
(b) Then, to all Obligations Secured that then remain unpaid in such order as the ABL Controlling Agent may determine in its discretion. |
The Mortgagor shall remain liable for any deficiency to the extent provided in the documents that create the Obligations Secured.
|
Section 4.3 Cumulative Remedies; Delay or Omission Not a Waiver |
. No remedy or right of the Pari Passu Agent shall be exclusive of, but shall be in addition to, every other remedy or right now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay in the exercise or omission to exercise any remedy or right available during the existence of any Event of Default shall impair any such remedy or right or be construed to be a waiver of such Event of Default or acquiescence therein, nor shall it affect any subsequent Event of Default of the same or different nature. To the extent permitted by applicable law, every such remedy or right may be exercised concurrently or independently and when and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Pari Passu Agent.
|
Section 4.4 Pari Passu Agent’s Remedies against Multiple Parcels |
. If more than one property, lot or parcel is covered by this Mortgage, and this Mortgage is foreclosed upon or judgment is entered upon any Obligations Secured, execution may be made upon any one or more of the properties, lots or parcels and not upon the others, or upon all of such properties or parcels, either together or separately, and at different times or at the same time, and execution sales or sales by advertisement may likewise be conducted separately or concurrently, in each case at the election of the ABL Controlling Agent.
|
Section 4.5 No Merger |
11
. In the event of a foreclosure of this Mortgage in any court or any other mortgage or trust deed securing the Obligations Secured, the Obligations Secured then due shall, at the option of the ABL Controlling Agent, not be merged into any decree of foreclosure entered by the court, and the Pari Passu Agent may concurrently or subsequently seek to foreclose one or more mortgages or deeds of trust that also secure the Obligations Secured.

|
Section 5.3 Satisfaction of Mortgage |
. Upon full payment and performance of all the Obligations Secured, or upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement for release of the Mortgaged Property from this Mortgage, then the Pari Passu Agent shall, promptly upon request of the Mortgagor, execute and deliver to the Mortgagor a satisfaction of mortgage or reconveyance of the Mortgaged Property reasonably acceptable to the Mortgagor.

This insurance may, but need not, protect your interests. The coverage that we purchase may not pay any claim that you make or any claim that is made against you in connection with the collateral. You may later cancel any insurance purchased by us, but only after providing us with evidence that you have obtained insurance as required by our agreement. If we purchase insurance for the collateral, you will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges we may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to your total outstanding balance or obligation. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance you may be able to obtain on your own."
